INTRO: From time to time I have heard people described as having no moral compass. What is a compass? What is its function? Well, it provides a standard by which to accurately determine direction. Without a compass, or some other standard, a person simply wanders ... lost. From a moral and spiritual viewpoint I would say that the world is wandering. There is mass confusion in matters moral and spiritual. In fact, I recall words from the book of Judgeswhich could well describe our time: every man did that which was right in his own eyes (Judg 21:25). The disorder typical of our time can only lead to criminality, depression, unhappiness, broken homes and families, despair. The prayer of the psalmist in our text is still the answer for humanity!
I. HERE, HE FIRST ASKS FOR GODS MERCY
A. Sin will take away our joy in the Lord
1. Ps 51:12 - he had sinned against man and God
2. he had heard those fateful words of Nathan, Thou art the man
3. the sensitive heart of this man who knew and loved God was doubtless crushed by the blow of those words - the joy was gone!
B. Our prayers for mercy must be accompanied by true repentance
1. true repentance means a change of actions and heart
2. to simply stop a sinful activity while mentally wishing you could continue is not penitence - think of Ps 139:23,24
3. to order our steps in the word requires more than a ritual obedience!
C. The psalmist refers to Gods history of forgiving penitent people
1. he seeks no special favor ... just what God is accustomed to doing
2. Lk 7:47,48 - Her sins, which are many, are forgiven...
3. I take great pleasure in knowing Gods history of forgiveness of people whose sins...are many - I ask no more than this and am confident of it because there is a history
D. Before steps can be ordered by the word, we must correct our relationship with God!
II. HE PLEADS FOR THE ORDERING OF HIS STEPSIN THY WORD
A. A general statement: lives need structure!
1. we may envy lives which seem free and lived with abandon
2. those people seem to have so much fun, etc.
3. these people get so much attention - our lives seem hum drum
4. but are they satisfied? content? productive? responsible? likely, not
B. The structure must come from recognizing, conforming to a standard
1. the compass provides a standard for navigation - the word of God provides the standard for moral & spiritual direction
2. Ps 73:24 - Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel...
3. Ps 37:23,31 - The law of his God is in his heart...
4. Col 3:16 -
C. Structure comes from having a single standard for life
1. a problem with structure is our listening to too many voices
2. Hos 10:2 - divided hearts caused the people of Israel to both become accepting of and participants in idolatry! too many voices
3. moral and spiritual direction become confused because we listen to peers, to society, to culture, to scholars, to philosophers, to inner desires
4. Ps 86:11 - ...unite my heart... - truly an appropriate plea!
III. HE PLEADS FOR THE WILL TO KEEP FROM SIN
A. Knowing the word, knowing about sin, etc. are one thing...
1. but do we have the will to keep from sinning?
2. perhaps this goes back to the idea of truly repenting, of abhorring sin, of sins being distasteful to us
3. if we continue to look longingly at sin, no matter what we know in our minds, we will very likely return to that sin (think about Mt 5:27,28)
B. Rom 6:11-16 - Some helpful, important truths...
1. first, each day we must remember we are dead to sin
2. second, each day we must remember our lives are Gods
3. third, whether or not sin reigns over us is our decision
4. fourth, using our bodies, our lives to do righteousness will have a tendency to mold our habits away from sin
5. fifth, a life under sins dominion leads to eternal death!
C. So, it would be so appropriate for us, too, to pray for Gods help here!
CLOSE: Seek Gods forgiveness. Live your life in keeping with the direction of His word. Devote yourself to righteous behavior and activity. And I believe you will be happy and contented!

You Must Hear the Gospel
You must hear the gospel and then understand and recognize that you are lost without Jesus Christ no matter who you are and no matter what your background is. The Bible tells us that “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) Before you can be saved, you must understand that you are lost and that the only way to be saved is by obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ. (2 Thessalonians 1:8) Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12) "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17)
You Must Believe
You must believe and have faith in God because “without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6) But neither belief alone nor faith alone is sufficient to save. (James 2:19; James 2:24; Matthew 7:21)
You Must Repent
You must repent of your sins. (Acts 3:19) But repentance alone is not enough. The so-called “Sinner’s Prayer” that you hear so much about today from denominational preachers does not appear anywhere in the Bible. Indeed, nowhere in the Bible was anyone ever told to pray the “Sinner’s Prayer” to be saved. By contrast, there are numerous examples showing that prayer alone does not save. Saul, for example, prayed following his meeting with Jesus on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:11), but Saul was still in his sins when Ananias met him three days later (Acts 22:16). Cornelius prayed to God always, and yet there was something else he needed to do to be saved (Acts 10:2, 6, 33, 48). If prayer alone did not save Saul or Cornelius, prayer alone will not save you. You must obey the gospel. (2 Thess. 1:8)
You Must Confess
You must confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. (Romans 10:9-10) Note that you do NOT need to make Jesus “Lord of your life.” Why? Because Jesus is already Lord of your life whether or not you have obeyed his gospel. Indeed, we obey him, not to make him Lord, but because he already is Lord. (Acts 2:36) Also, no one in the Bible was ever told to just “accept Jesus as your personal savior.” We must confess that Jesus is the Son of God, but, as with faith and repentance, confession alone does not save. (Matthew 7:21)
You Must Be Baptized
Having believed, repented, and confessed that Jesus is the Son of God, you must be baptized for the remission of your sins. (Acts 2:38) It is at this point (and not before) that your sins are forgiven. (Acts 22:16) It is impossible to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ without teaching the absolute necessity of baptism for salvation. (Acts 8:35-36; Romans 6:3-4; 1 Peter 3:21) Anyone who responds to the question in Acts 2:37 with an answer that contradicts Acts 2:38 is NOT proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ!
You Must Be Faithful Unto Death
Once you are saved, God adds you to his church and writes your name in the Book of Life. (Acts 2:47; Philippians 4:3) To continue in God’s grace, you must continue to serve God faithfully until death. Unless they remain faithful, those who are in God’s grace will fall from grace, and those whose names are in the Book of Life will have their names blotted out of that book. (Revelation 2:10; Revelation 3:5; Galatians 5:4)

Recording, mixing and mastering for the debut album of THRONE OF IRON has been completed. Highly recommended for fans of ETERNAL CHAMPION, SUMERLANDS and VISIGOTH, the album will be entitled “Adventure One” and the track list is:
1. A Call To Adventure
2. Past The Doors Of Death
3. Dark Shrine Of Rituals
4. The Power Of Will
6. The Fourth Battle Of The Ash Plains
7. The Allure Of Silver
Tucker Thomasson (ex- THORR-AXE) was inspired to form THRONE OF IRON as a solo project, the night after the death of the legendary composer, guitarist, singer, Godfather of Epic Metal, Mark Shelton (MANILLA ROAD). THRONE OF IRON was forged that sweltering night of June 2018, in the wake of an alcohol-fueled love of the sounds of classic heavy metal and tomes of roleplaying past. Just a month later, the 2018 Demo was released with Tucker performing all instruments, and THRONE OF IRON joined No Remorse Records.
Thinking quick, Tucker gathered forces in the form of Corwin Deckard on guitar, his longtime drummer friend from Thorr-Axe, Jacob Lett, and the cleric Evan Pruitt on bass.
The four immediately descended into the basement to forge their debut full-length, which is now completed, and soon all details will be revealed by No Remorse Records.

Florida AD Jeremy Foley mum on Muschamp
Following Saturday’s loss to Vanderbilt, finds itself quickly spiraling toward the school’s first losing season in 30 years.
Athletic director Jeremy Foley has reportedly supported coach Will Muschamp in private, but so far he’s said nothing publicly, pouring gasoline on the fire of speculation surrounding Muschamp’s job security.
The Miami Herald’s Jesse Simonton offered a sobering description of the situation:
They exited in droves. The boo-birds howled all afternoon.
In just a month’s time, the Gator Nation has experienced its own five stages of grief:
Denial. Bewilderment. Fury. Apathy. And, finally, bloodthirsty.
Florida — in the midst of an embarrassing four-game losing steak — suffered a catastrophic homecoming loss to Vanderbilt on Saturday afternoon, and dejected coach Will Muschamp seemed resigned to knowing his seat is hotter than a Red Savina habanero.
While Muschamp may ultimately survive the season, all of the Gators assistants aren’t likely to be so lucky.
Three weeks ago, Muschamp voiced strong support for offensive coordinator Brent Pease and the rest of the coaching staff. Now, his tune seems to have changed.
“We’ll find a way. We’ve got to keep going at it. What we’re doing so far is not working. Keep doing the same stuff, you’re going to get the same results,” Muschamp told reporters following the game.
“You evaluate everything at the end of the season. That’s what I certainly will do. I’ve done that my first two years, and I’ll do that again this year. I’m not worried about it.”

Is the Nepalese Army the most inclusive armed force in the world?
Bhrikuti Rai / December 24, 2015
On December 15, 2015, Defense Minister Bhim Rawal said that the Nepalese Army is the most inclusive armed force in the world. He said, “I reiterate that there is no military force as inclusive as Nepal’s with proportionate representation of 125 ethnic groups; there isn’t any armed force in the world as inclusive as ours….” Watch Rawal’s video .
South Asia Check examined Rawal’s claim by looking into the following two aspects:
- Is the Nepalese Army’s structure the most inclusive in the world?
- Are the legal provisions relating to Nepalese Army the most inclusive in the world?
These two aspects were examined on the bases of:
- Representation of different ethnic groups in the Nepalese Army
- Women’s representation in the Nepalese Army
Is the Nepalese Army the most inclusive armed force in the world given its present structure?
According to the Nepalese Army website, the ethnic makeup of the Nepalese Army is as follows:
|State of Castes/Ethnic Inclusion in the Nepalese Army
(As of June 25, 2014)
|S.No.||Caste/Ethnic Groups||Population (2011 Census)||% of total Population||(%) of Total Representation in NA|
According to a 2012 report by the US Department of Defense 30.3 per cent of the military force identified themselves as minorities which is more in proportion to their population of almost 23 per cent. See US census report.
Similarly in India the representation of people from various states isn’t proportionate to their population.
According to the figures provided by India’s Defense Ministry, Uttar Pradesh is the only state with proportionate representation in the Indian Armed Forces. The most populous state of Uttar Pradesh with 16.49 percent of India’s total population sends the most number of recruits representing 14 percent of the Indian Armed Forces.
Less populous states like Rajasthan (5.6 percent of the population), Punjab (2.3 percent of the population), Maharashtra (9.2 percent of the population) each have 7-8 percent representation in the Indian Armed Forces, and Andhra Pradesh state with 4.08 percent of the total population has 6 percent representation.
According to the Nepalese Army, women comprise almost 3.5 percent of the total force as of November, 2015.
While representation of women in the Nepalese Army is higher than in the Indian Armed Forces, it is nowhere as inclusive as the US armed forces.
Therefore given its present structure, the claim that the Nepalese Army is the most inclusive armed force in the world is wrong.
Is the Nepalese Army the most inclusive military force in the world in terms of the legal provisions relating to it?
Following the amendment to the Army Act in 2006, 45 percent of the positions in the army have been reserved for various groups listed below:
Group Reserved seats
Indigenous groups 32%
Remote area 5%
South Asia check studied the legal provisions related to armed forces of several countries but could not ascertain whether the Nepalese Army is the most inclusive or not.

Zane Dugaduga makes Sinulog Idol history
CEBU, Philippines — The competition has been getting tougher as Sinulog Idol Season 10 stretches the limits of its finalists.
Ten remaining contestants sang their hearts out on the fourth challenge dubbed as Showtunes Night. Guadalupe’s Jake Batiancela, Carcar City’s James Alfafara, Talisay City's Jessa Abaquita, Mandaue City’s Maica Apas, Consolacion’s Mikee Allaga, Minglanilla’s Rache Parco, Danao City’s Shim Dagatan, Talisay City’s Vanessa Parame, Mandaue City’s Yad Jayme and Talisay City’s Zane Dugaduga performed songs from beloved musicals, not only doing their best in singing but also showing off costumes that resembled the characters they portrayed.
In the end, it was Dugaduga’s rendition of “Let It Go” from the Disney film “Frozen” that warmed the hearts of the audience. Children flocked to Plaza Independencia to get a glimpse of her performance.
For the first time in Sinulog Idol history, a finalist was chosen Star of the Night two evenings in a row. On round three dubbed Cebuano Night, she became Star of the Night with her version of “Ngano Kaha,” an original by Sinulog Idol alum Mariel Minglanilla.
Trailing closely behind Dugaduga is Parco who performed Shirley Bassey’s “Goldfinger” and Apas who sang “Memory” from the 1981 musical “Cats.”
“Wa gihapon ko nag-expect nga ma Star of the Night. Happy kaayo ko na first kuno ko na straight Star of the Night,” said Dugaduga, a band vocalist.
Judge Ryan Mark Borinaga described her take on the ice princess Elsa as refreshing.
“It was not a cold performance,” he quipped. “That was hot.”
She also wowed the audience with a costume change that resembled the original sequence shown in “Frozen.”
With three more nights left, her only wish is to not run out of steam, especially that her voice is starting to give out.
For the fifth elimination round, the hopefuls will be paying tribute to great artists who have passed away. Dugaduga hinted at paying homage to Whitney Houston, saying it will be more challenging since other contestants will be performing hits from the same music icon.
“Maytag makaya kay akong tingog hapit na mu-surrender. Ako ipahuway, matog…Akong gi-control akong tingog,” she said.
Despite his theatrical performance of “Circle of Life” from another Disney film, “The Lion King,” Batiancela fell to the bottom for Showtunes Night. Judge Apple Abarquez sais she expected a lot from a thespian like him.
“This is your niche, showtunes, Broadway, Disney,” Abarquez said. “Nasaag ka. You were running around in circles. It was nice but it wasn’t as impressive as what I had in mind.”
Despite that, the producers decided to keep the Circle of Ten intact. Event manager Gloria Villarojo said that the judges’ decision must be unanimous. Otherwise, the decision is given to the production. She and musical director Gani Villarojo, alongside mainstay resident judges Ryan Mark Borinaga, Apple Abarquez and Jay Unchuan decided to give the idols a new lease at life, so to speak.
Abarquez admitted that the judges had a difficult time since Broadway is “one of the hardest genres to pull off.” Indeed, throughout the evening, the judges bemoaned several performances, noting that the round was not their strongest.
“Lisod kaayo siya nga naay taktakon. These kids man gud, most of them have never even seen a proper play. So dili pa sila kahibaw unsa na feel, unsa na hugot, unsa na emotion, ” explained Abarquez, giving the remaining finalists a chance to prove themselves. She warned that perhaps on the next rounds, they might have to say goodbye to two or three at a time.
Abarquez added that the common struggle among the contestants for Showtunes Night was not understanding the songs they chose. She said they interpreted the music in a way that was not quite the apt translation, and had not delivered the right depth demanded by the song. The week-long elimination has also started to take a toll.
“They’re all tired. You can hear the strain in their voices,” she said.
As the Sinulog Idol Season 10 finals night draws closer, Abarquez wished them luck and longevity.
“The best of luck and the best of health because you will really need it. You are only as good as your last performance. Take care of yourself and pray that God gives you the best of luck that night.”
Since their first elimination night last Friday, two out of 12 hopefuls have bid the contest goodbye. Broadcasting student and Daanbantayan bet Jonas Elarcosa was the first to be eliminated after being at the bottom of night two following the group performances for “Jam Night.” The second round also saw the victory of Rache Parco, Mikee Allaga and Yad Jayme who were hailed Stars of the Night for their rendition of “Heaven” by Bryan Adams and “Hound Dog” by Elvis Presley. On the third night, Brgy. Punta Princesa’s contender, Grade 12 ABM student Kyla Dizon was out of the game on the third elimination round which showcased Cebuano or Visayan folk songs.
The competition, which has churned out talents like sensation Jacky Chang, will be giving away a grand prize of P50,000. P30,000 and P20,000 will be awarded to the first and second runners-up, respectively.
But first, they must survive the nightly elimination rounds that will put their skills and stamina to the test. Only six hopefuls will remain to perform at the grand finals on Thursday.

You'll see denim jumpsuits paired printed long jackets, striped pantsuits paired with bralet, long kurtis paired with straight pants.
The designer did not shy away from bleding fabrics. Ragini has mixed and matched a range of fabric. In all, the collection is offbeat, unconventional and formal.

I recently took some time out to do a bit of travelling across East Asia (which was incredible!) and decided that I would, along with a group of friends, set up a travel blog. Knowing that I would be embarking on some amazing adventures, I thought it'd be a waste not to blog about them. Plus, the idea of bringing in a little extra cash to go into my travel fund helped in my decision.
After a month or so of development the site was finally ready and I wanted to start thinking about how to get some traffic going on the website. Whilst paid advertising and social media were a huge part of the strategy, I knew that appearing in the search engines for a wide selection of long-tail phrases was going to be instrumental to the blog's success. This is when I began developing my link building strategy and, after trialing out some very successful approaches, I've decided to now share my link building tactics with you all - you can thank me later :)
Identifying My Link Targets
As a brand new blog it can be really tough to gain links from high authority sites. Unless you have something particularly unique or special (and even then you might struggle), it's an uphill battle to get your content in front of anyone. With this in mind I decided to start off small. However, the general rule of thumb that I kept for any links that I was looking to build was this:
"The link must have a genuine potential to generate traffic back to the blog"
Many blogs and other websites have 'useful links' or ' useful resources' pages. These pages generally list partner websites, relevant blogs or other sites that they work with. Although these types of links aren't going to result in ground-breaking link building wins they could, if you prospect correctly, provide a link that will not just give you an SEO boost, but actually generate traffic to your site as well. These types of links are particularly relevant for the travel industry.
A lot of people write-off these types of links, classing them as 'spammy' or 'low quality links'. Now, whilst I agree that they aren't enormously powerful, I disagree that they are useless. To find the pages where I wanted to get a link placed back to my blog, I followed these quick steps:
- First, I ran this query through Google - intitle:travel blog inurl:"links" OR "resources".
- I then went into Google's search settings and selected to view 100 results per page instead of 10.
- Once I had 100 listings, I scraped all of the URLs using the 'Scrape Similar' plugin for Chrome and exported them to a .CSV file.
- I did a bit of manual work to remove irrelevant links and then grabbed the domain/page authority for each of the links using MozCheck.com and pasted this into the sheet. I could then sort the links by page authority and remove any that had a PA lower than ~25. This helped to find higher quality targets.
- After witling the list down to around 40 targets, I scanned the amount of outbound links on the pages using Niels Bosma's SEOtools plugin for Excel and sorted the list by pages with the lowest number of outbound links on them. This not only improved the power of the link by it also meant that there was more of a chance that I would get some traffic from the page.
- Finally, I got in touch with webmasters from the sites to see if they would list my site on theirs (using only branded anchor text) in exchange for their site appearing on the 'Our Friends' section of my blog.
The end result was that I managed to gain around 15 links to my blog that actually brought through some traffic as well. This took me around 3-4 hours in total (including outreach) and helped to create a nice bit of domain diversity to the site's link profile. On top of this, it also helped me to start building a few relationships with webmasters that turned out to be very useful later down the line.
Useful: within this article I explain how to sort through link targets in Excel in a bit more detail.
**BONUS: here is the outreach email template that I used when contacting webmasters...
Hi NAME HERE,
Just thought I would drop you a quick mail regarding your website, DOMAIN URL HERE. I really enjoy the stuff you write and it has been getting me excited for my travelling trip!
I am starting up a travel blog myself and it has just gone live a couple of days ago. The blog will follow our group as we travel across East Asia and Australia (we leave today!). I was just wondering if you would be kind enough to drop a link to the blog (http://www.meltedstories.com) on your links page (URL OF THEIR LINKS PAGE HERE) as it would be a big help. I've added you onto my 'Our Friends' page anyway because it will be a great resource for my readers.
Don't worry if you don't want to add our blog, but if you let me know your Twitter handle anyway then I will make sure we follow you and drop you some retweets! You can follow us at @melted_stories.
Feel free to get in touch at any time though!
Just an Honest Backpacker :)
Prospecting Through Competitive Research
The next stage of my link building strategy was to do some competitive research. For many SEOs this is a staple part of any link building campaign and can reveal some very interesting insights into what other websites related to your own are doing to acquire links.
My first port of call is always the amazing, and strangely under-rated, 'Competitive Link Finder' tool from SEOmoz. By simply plugging in the URLs of five other travel blogs, similar in style to mine, I was able to instantly get 20 solid link targets from a list of around 45. This took me 15 minutes to do and I just placed all of the links into an outreach spreadsheet that I created. Here are the types of links that I found:
- High authority travel blogs that my competitors have guest posted on.
- Blogs that run weekly 'photo of the week' competitions that will link to your photo if you win.
- Good quality travel-niche directories.
- 'Top travel blogger' lists and competitions.
- Content that my competitors have collaborated on in order to get a mention.
- Links to interview articles where my competitors have answered questions on a high authority blog and have received a link in return.
All this within 15 minutes - not bad, eh?
Every bit of information that I gathered I kept inside a link prospecting spreadsheet. This formed the basis of my link building strategy and allowed me to identify a list of targets that I could approach with a variety of content and propositions. My advice for any blog owner would be to do the same because it allows you to sustain your link building efforts in the long term. Then, every few months, I do some further research and add to the spreadsheet.
Acquiring Links from Your Targets
Now that I'd done some competitive link research, it was time to plan out the approaches that I would take to actually acquire links from my targets. This can often be the place where many people hit a brick wall. During the early stages of my time at Wow Internet, I found that I was overcomplicating the process of acquiring links. However, the reality is that it's often best to keep things simple. You don't necessarily have to spend a fortune on creating an amazing infographic, or bit of video content. More often than not, all you need to do is simply ask (I know, crazy, right?).
Guest blogging has taken some stick recently and I can, in some cases, see why. A recent post on the SEOmoz blog by James Finlayson outlined the slippery slope of poor guest post content and I completely agree. This brings me back to my initial link building rule:
"The link must have a genuine potential to generate traffic back to the blog"
Forget judging your guest blog opportunities based solely on the PA/DA of the site and start thinking more about site engagement. If I see a website with a domain authority score of 40 but there are no comments from readers and minimal social shares, then I would generally ignore this site, in favour of a site with lower DA but more comments/social shares. This is particularly important when building links to a blog, so as the old saying goes - don't judge a book by its cover!
Finding Guest Blogging Opportunities and Gaining Them
I had already found a handful of guest blogging opportunities from my competitive research, but I knew I would need a much greater sample size to work with in order to build a solid profile of high quality links. This, unfortunately, takes quite a bit of time. This is where I took a leaf out of Paddy Moogan's book.
I recently read Paddy's link building book (which was awesome) and he talked about outsourcing menial research tasks through oDesk in order to save time and increase productivity overall. One thing that Paddy stressed was to only outsource micro-tasks and leave as little obscurity to the task as possible. With this in mind I put together an extensive brief for the task of finding travel blogs that accepted guest posts and fit the following criteria:
- PR of at least 2.
- The blog must be English speaking and related to travel.
- Must have some form of interaction on the blog posts.
- Should have social shares on the recent articles.
- Must have posted new content within the last 2 months.
As you can see in the link research brief, I didn't just want to simply gather the URLs of the blogs but I tried to get as much information on them as possible. This was so that I could use this valuable data for other link building methods and also to connect with the blog owners through social media and build long-term relationships with them. The data that I asked the oDesk applicant to gather for me was:
- The website URL.
- The name of the website.
- A contact name.
- A contact email (if possible).
- The URL of the contact page.
- Twitter handle of the contact.
- The Facebook page URL of the website (if relevant).
- The title of the most recent article posted (this is so I can easily see if the website is relevant without having to visit each one and check).
One week and $30 later, I had a list of 50 different guest blog targets - amazing! Don't underestimate the power of giving a good brief to a freelancer; it really can make the world of difference.
Useful: the name of the freelancer I used for the link research project (who is now also doing some further research for me now, as well) is Michael Howells. Here's a link to his oDesk profile.
**DOUBLE BONUS!: as I'm feeling particularly generous, I'm going to give you the list of 50 awesome travel-related guest blog opportunities that Michael gathered for me. You're welcome :)
Once I had the list of guest blog targets, it was then time to identify which would be the best places to start reaching out to. This is an important and often over-looked stage of many outreach campaigns. Bearing in mind that I had only a little bit of content on my blog, I needed to try and find an angle to work on with my pitch. To do this I split up my guest blog targets into sub-sections based on their primary theme (i.e. if five of the websites all specialised in backpacking on a budget then they would go in the same group).
Once I'd categorised all of the websites in my list, I had to now decide what I would use in my pitch to the webmasters that would gain their trust and allow me to post on their site. In my armoury were a wealth of photos that I had taken during my time travelling and a whole host of first-hand experiences. From looking at many of the websites that I was targeting for links, it was clear that they were heavily focused around lots of good images and most of them preferred to have the author’s voice clearly present throughout most of their articles. Knowing this, I carried out the following steps:
- Highlighted blogs that talked about East Asia specifically in a few of their articles.
- Narrowed down the list to find which of them accepted guest authors more frequently.
- Picked ten initial targets and began to follow all of their social media accounts, comment on their articles and share their content through my blog's Twitter/FB/G+/Pinterest.
- Got in touch with the webmasters in a friendly, quick email that let them know who I was, my travel plans and a brief intro to my blog. I then mentioned that I was looking to write for some travel blogs about my adventures and wanted to see if they would consider letting me do this on their blog.
- If I received a reply, I made sure that I looked at the types of articles they posted on their blogs and then gave only relevant suggestions for possible article titles.
After I had a few articles published on different travel blogs it meant that I could reference these articles in my next flurry of outreach. This proved to be really effective as I progressed and gaining guest post opportunities seemed to get easier and easier. One tip that I would give to anyone doing any outreach is not to mention 'links' at all in your written communication as you risk losing your legitimacy as a genuine blogger. Travel blog owners particularly don't enjoy this.
**Bonus: Here's one of the outreach emails that I sent to a travel blog owner (as you can see, I keep it as personal as possible):
I hope you're well. We spoke around a month ago simply about a link exchange for my travel blog, Melted Stories. I have something slightly different to ask about now!
Firstly I just want to say how much me and my girlfriend enjoy your blog (especially considering my girlfriend, Laura, is also a vegetarian).
I know that you don't really do this on your blog but my girlfriend and I have just finished 2 months of travelling around and experiencing Thailand and I wondered if you would consider letting us do a guest post on your blog?
It would be related to an experience that we had within Thailand and one that we feel would fit in with your audience. For example, we recently visited Chiang Mai and took a trip across to all the best places to see, including spending a day looking after ex-working elephants and visiting the tigers (that are most definitely not drugged!).
I won't babble on too much because I know you must be busy but you can take a look at some of both myself and Laura's writing at these links (below) and if you could let me know either way that would be great.
Also, we would love to have you write on our blog so if that's something that would interest you then you can have a free reign on what you talk about!
Take Guest Blogging to the Next Level - Become a Columnist
I have to admit that this wasn't something that I necessarily planned from the outset but, as I moved forward with the guest blogging activities that I was doing, it became an obvious next step.
One of the first articles that I wrote was for the WildJunket Magazine, an online general travel publication. During my conversations with the magazine editor, Nellie Huang, I started to form a good relationship and she then asked me if I would consider becoming a regular columnist on the blog, specialising in 'travel tech'. I jumped at the chance, of course, and as a result of this I write 2-3 articles a month for the website and get some great links back to my blog. Not only this but WildJunket have a huge social following and loads of activity on their website. This was certainly something that I could use to my advantage.
After I had written a few articles for Nellie I got in touch with her to discuss any ways in which she could help me out, for example, with sharing my content, getting in touch with other bloggers and any other ways she could suggest. The response was really positive and Nellie allowed me to use the WildJunket press pack when contacting websites and she also said that if I wanted to write a sponsored post for companies on the blog then that is fine too (as long as it fit in with the editorial guidelines). On top of this she agreed to share anything I wished on the WildJunket social media accounts, which was great. I then added the following paragraph into my outreach emails:
As well as running Melted Stories, I am also a regular columnist for Wild Junket, which receives over 1.65 million pageviews a month and has a Twitter following of just under 30,000. Any article that I did write for you would be shared across all of my personal social media accounts, plus that of Wild Junket and Melted Stories, so it could be a win-win situation :)
This dramatically increased the number of replies that I received from webmasters. My advice would be to try and secure a similar type of setup on related blogs within your own industry. Look for blogs that have clear topic areas and, once you've built a relationship with the webmasters, suggest that you could become a regular columnist specialising in a specific topic on their blog.
Tip: Industry-relevant online magazines can be a particularly good target for this.
Sponsored Posts and Paid Tweets
This is likely to cause some controversy amongst a few readers, but in my opinion this can be a fantastic way of driving traffic through to your website and encouraging links back to your content.
A sponsored post is, in essence, a guest post that you pay for. Many websites, especially within the travel industry, will allow you to write an article promoting your products/services in return for payment. Matt Cutts has voiced his opinion on this activity a few times and has said the following:
"Clear disclosure of sponsorship is critical, and that includes disclosure for search engines. If link in a paid post would affect search engines, that link should not pass PageRank (e.g. by using the nofollow attribute)."
My suggestion is not simply to find blogs that offer this and then place a link to your site within them. What I would suggest is using sponsored posts to increase your online community. To do this I found websites that had a particularly large social following, loads of interactivity on the website and a captive niche audience. I then wrote a post related to my travels and a little intro to my travel blog. What I found was that I was able to bring over some good levels of traffic from the post and capture some new readers for my blog - exactly what I wanted!
NOTE: If I ever pay for a sponsored post then I make sure that any links back to my site are 'nofollowed' because it's not worth the risk of having a Google penalty imposed.
These are similar, in a way, to sponsored posts and are pretty self-explanatory - you pay someone to tweet something from their twitter account.
Again, there are going to be a few people who say how wrong this is and that they would never do this for one of their clients, etc, etc. What I would say to those people is that if you would be prepared to pay for advertising space on someone's website then what's the difference in paying them to tweet your content on Twitter?
I must admit that I've only done this a couple of times and have had varying results, but in one case I managed to generate a few hundred visits to one of the articles on my blog, which is often more than I would get with a banner ad and for a fraction of the cost! There is also the advantage of being able to expand your own Twitter following in the process, which is another added bonus.
Useful: You can use BuySellAds.com to search for Twitter users that sell tweets within your niche.
Bringing it all Together
It's still early days for my travel blog but I've had some awesome initial results and hopefully this article has given you a few ideas of your own to help you go out and build some quality links to your blog. The key message that I'm trying to convey here is the importance of building relationships online and forming a solid community within your blog.
Simple things like blog commenting, which was traditionally a staple part of link building, has now become a fantastic way to build relationships with bloggers and actually drive traffic back to your own blog. A lot of link building can be quite indirect and it isn't always the quickest to do, but if you follow my one simple rule then you should be able to keep on the right track:
"The link must have a genuine potential to generate traffic back to the blog"
I'd love to hear your own link building triumphs, so be sure to let me know in the comments of the blog or get in touch with me on Twitter or Google+. Before you do that, here's an awesome photo of my partner and me with a tiger in Thailand...

Chicken is one of the World's most popular foods. It can be cooked in a variety of ways, leading to delicious and nutritious meals.
In the following article, you can learn how to pick the best chicken in the supermarket, how to prepare it before cooking and 5 main methods and tips for cooking it according to time and weight, so that you can achieve the tastiest chicken meal every time, just like a professional chef.
Buying the right chicken:
Fresh chicken bought at the butcher should be flawless, light, evenly colored and must be moist but not wet. When buying frozen chicken, you should make sure that there are no traces of ice on the skin or signs of discoloration, typical of frostbite. It is very important that the packaging is completely sealed.
Proper treatment of poultry:
Chicken is a very delicate product that can contain a very high amount of bacteria if not handled properly, so you should carefully read how to treat the chicken before cooking, freezing and defrosting.
If you bought fresh chicken and want to use it for the next meal, store the chicken as follows:
- Remove the chicken from its original packaging.
- Place it on a rack, and place the rack over a slightly deep dish.
- Cover loosely, store in the refrigerator at a temperature of 34-40 degrees Fahrenheit on the bottom shelf.
- Remove the chicken right before you plan to cook it.
- There’s no need to wash your chicken as the bacteria on it will be killed in the cooking process. Rinsing chicken only serves to spread the bacteria around your countertop and sink.
- If you’ve decided to wash your chicken, pat it down with a paper towel
- If you’re planning on using the chicken later on in the week, wrap it, write down the date and put it in the freezer immediately when you get home.
- If you purchased chick breasts, place them in a single layer on parchment paper, cover, and freeze. Once the pieces are frozen you can place them in a Ziploc bag and put them back in the freezer. Doing this will ensure the chicken breasts won’t freeze and stick together.
Purchasing frozen chicken, either whole or in pieces is convenient for when you aren’t planning on using it right away.
- Check the date of freezing on the original packaging and pick the freshest of one.
- Before cooking, make sure the chicken is fully thawed.
- Thawing should be carried out with the chicken in its original packaging placed on a plate in the refrigerator for 3-5 hours per pound, on the bottom shelf only and far from food other cooked food.
- The chicken should be cooked within 12 hours of thawing, and should not be refrozen.
- Cooked chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days once cooled and covered well. Cooked chicken can be frozen only after the dish has cooled completely.
Preparing a whole chicken:
Whole chickens need careful preparation before cooking to maintain their shape during cooking and to make cutting easier. Dry with paper towels, cut and remove the collarbone with a sharp knife from the shoulder and chest area, and tie the feet and wings with flavorless dental floss or cooking thread. If you don’t have anything to tie the chicken with, you can use toothpicks or skewers to keep it in place. Lay the chicken breast up and now it’s ready to be cooked.
Once you’ve finished preparing your chicken, wash your hands and work surfaces with plenty of soap and water.
Methods for cooking poultry
There are several methods for cooking poultry, but the top 5 are poaching, grilling, frying, pot-roasting/stewing, and microwaving.
Chicken cooked in a well-seasoned broth is a classic dish in French cuisine. This dish is considered to be the most delicate of the five cooking methods, and the chicken cooked in this method is great for sandwiches, filling, and pies.
How to cook a whole chicken using this method:
- When cooking a whole chicken, tie the chicken to make sure it keeps its shape, and weigh it to determine the cooking time. The calculation is done so that every pound of chicken needs 20 minutes of cooking on a low flame.
- Put the chicken into a large pot, fill with cold water until covered, and bring the liquid to a slow boil over medium heat.
- Remove the fat and pieces that float to the top while cooking with a slotted spoon, lower the flame and add herbs, onions, and carrots (or any other similar ingredients). Cover half of the pot and continue poaching till it’s fully cooked (according to the time calculated).
- When the meat is soft, remove the chicken from the liquid and hold it for a few seconds above the pot to drain as much liquid as possible back into the pot. Place the chicken in a pan or any other dish, untie and cut the chicken. The liquid in the pot can be reduced into a sauce.
How to cook chicken breast using this method:
- Butterfly the chicken by cutting from one side almost to the end of the other. Place each one on parchment paper a little larger than the chicken breast.
- Place a filling of your choice in its center and roll the chicken. Place in a deep pan with chicken stock cover in aluminum foil and cook for about 15 minutes till the stock almost boils.
- Remove when a toothpick in the center of the roll comes out warm. Uncover, remove from the liquid and plate.
Grilling chicken is done at a very high temperature, which makes the chicken's skin crisp and gives it a special flavor. This method can be used to cook small parts such as chicken thighs, wings and the like, and for larger parts such as the whole bird. To prepare a juicier chicken dish, leave the skin on and marinate the chicken before grilling.
How to cook chicken legs using this method:
- Chicken legs are the kind of meat suitable for grilling in the oven as well as over charcoal because they remain soft and juicy when cooked on high heat.
- Brush the outer surface of each leg with your marinade, cut small cuts onto the meat so the marinade seeps in, cover and place them in the refrigerator for an hour.
- Arrange the legs on a grilling rack and place them over the coals or under the grill in the oven, 2.5 inches from the heat source for 15-20 minutes, turn the chicken often making sure to brush with your marinade on each turn.
How to cook chicken skewers using this method:
- When grilling chicken skewers, the chicken pieces should be left to marinate in the fridge for at least one hour or overnight
- The wooden skewers should also be soaked in water for about 20 minutes before the meat is skewered on.
- Grill in the oven or over charcoal the same as you would the chicken legs (above).
How to cook a whole chicken using this method:
- Grilling a whole chicken requires a metal pan with a rack and a lid. The chicken is seasoned and placed on the rack in the pan which is placed on the grill or in the oven.
- Grill the chicken until the dripping liquid becomes clear.
- While grilling, lift the lid from time to time and baste your chicken with its own liquids. Cooking time for a 4-pound chicken varies between 1 ½ to 1 ¾ hours.
The frying method is one of the fastest, but it is suitable only for small pieces or for previously cooked pieces. You can fry chicken in a frying pan, deep oil, or by stir-frying in a wok. The most common pieces of chicken which are fried are chicken breast, legs, and thighs.
How to use this method for cooking chicken breast:
- Dredge each slice of chicken breast in flour first, transfer to a dish with a beaten egg, and then dip in bread crumbs or seasoned flour again. Place a little vegetable oil or shortening into a pan, making sure that the amount is enough to cover the bottom.
- Once the oil is very hot (place a wooden spoon into the oil, if it bubbles the oil is hot enough), start frying the chicken breasts.
- Fry the chicken breast on both sides until golden brown, serve hot.
How to use this method for cooking larger chicken pieces:
- To cook larger pieces, such as thighs and legs, it is recommended to pan fry them in a little bit of oil, first skin side down. Turn the chicken often to make sure the outside is seared but the inside doesn’t cook. Lower the heat to medium and let the chicken cook for another 25-30 minutes in its own juices.
- To make crispy legs and thighs, cook the chicken pieces in a liquid until they are about 90% cooked through. Let the pieces cool, remove the skin, dredge and fry as you did the chicken breasts, until golden.
How to make crispier fried chicken:
- If you want a crispy coating for your chicken, coat the chicken and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour on a dry surface, uncovered, before frying.
How to stir-fry:
In order to get the best result when stir-frying, it is recommended to prepare a mixture of egg white with cornstarch in a 1 egg white to 1 tablespoon cornstarch ratio for every ½ pound of chicken pieces. Coat chicken in this mixture, heat oil in your wok, place chicken in the oil once it’s hot enough, and stir constantly over medium to high heat. Cook until the meat is fully cooked and still soft.
4. Pot roasting/stewing
The method of pot roasting/stewing chicken is very long but it adds to the taste a softness and depth that can’t be achieved using other cooking methods. These methods are highly recommended for cooking pieces of chicken on the bone as well as whole chicken, and these dishes can be cooked on the stove or in the oven.
How to use this method:
- Coat the chicken in a red wine vegetable reduction that has been cooled, add a little oil and let rest in the refrigerator overnight.
- Before cooking, remove the chicken from the pan you left it in to marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat oil in a pot according to the recipe and place the chicken only when the oil is hot, browning on all sides.
- Then add the marinade with a stock of your choice and vegetables, cover with a lid and place in the oven for 2 hours (325 degrees F). Remove, and allow to rest for 20 minutes before serving.
5. Microwave cooking
Cooking chicken in a microwave is one of the easiest and fastest ways to do it, but there are several golden rules in this method as well:
- Do not place the chicken on a plate, turn on the microwave and let it work its magic until the meat is soft and cooked. Rather occasionally turn the chicken over while cooking, so that the cooking is uniform and the chicken stays moist.
- After cooking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before eating, so that the accumulated heat reaches the center of the meat. After resting, check whether the meat is cooked in the center by making a small cut. If the meat is not cooked, return it to the microwave for another 1-2 minutes.
- If you don’t want the chicken cooking in its own juices, resulting in a bland taste, place the chicken on a rack allowing it to drain for at least an hour in the refrigerator before cooking.
Cooking times and heat levels will vary depending on the number of chicken pieces or size:
- For 1-2 pieces: 4-6 minutes at maximum power.
- For 3-4 pieces: 7-10 minutes at maximum power.
- For 7-8 pieces: 15-18 minutes with maximum power.
- Quarter chicken: 12-15 minutes at medium power.
- Half chicken: 15-18 minutes at medium power.

Nutrition in the News
Sugar, Not Salt, Is the Real Dietary Villain
On July 23rd, 2015, Jennifer Abbasi wrote a controversial article, through Discover Magazine, that sugar may be contributing to the decline in health rather than salt. It was thought that reducing the intake of salt was to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease, but perhaps not anymore. Reviewing people who reduced their sodium intake, insufficient evidence was provided that this diet prevented cardiovascular disease; possibly because people are “salt sensitive”, and react to salt in different ways. Sodium is a necessary nutrient, unlike sugar, and therefore limiting sodium intake can be ineffective. Sugar is thought to cause excess caloric intake and increased weight gain, both of which have a direct correlation to high blood pressure. According to Abbasi the, “more you weigh, the more blood your tissues need to keep up oxygen and nutrient levels. The increase in blood volume tends to put more pressure on your vascular walls” (Abbasi, 2015). She concludes that one should focus on restricting their sugar intake, and forget about restricting sodium (Abbasi, 2015).
This article was written in Discover, a magazine written for the general population; it was produced for the consumers’ enjoyment, and to influence the reader to reconsider their diet. The reader does not have to pay initially to access the website, but there is a subscription service available. Discover magazine is known for bringing popular scientific news and information to the everyday person, written in a language they can understand. The author, Jennifer Abbasi, is a self-employed health and science writer and editor for the past fifteen years. Abbasi has written for Discover, Women’s Magazine, Fortune, Dr. Oz, Everyday Health, LiveScience, and more. She graduated from New York University and the University of Wisconsin, with degrees in Arts, English, and American Literature, there is no record of her studying any nutrition or other scientific fields in school. On her Linkedin account, she claims to be an expert in nutrition, chronic health conditions, cancer, women and children’s health, psychology, and others (Abbasi, n.d.). Considering that she went to school for the purpose of writing, her credibility within the health sciences field is not worth much. The article is written for the people who are not likely to be educated in the scientific field, so it is written in an easy language, with little to no scientific, or advanced medical terms. The conclusion is obtained from statements and studies by a co-executive editor of the American Journal of Hypertension, the USDA, the American Heart Association, the Institute of Medicine, and a cardiovascular research scientist (Abbasi, 2015). There is no expansive discussion on research done by the said sources. The reader has no insight on the study and therefore the conclusion can be misleading; the author states that people need to stop worrying about their sodium intake and focus solely on sugar consumption. She does not state that a person should consider their whole diet, focus on healthy foods, stay within stated guidelines, or consider individual limits to sugar intake. She warns that sugar alone will cause high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease, when many other factors come in to play and should be considered. She also does not clearly state how the studies came to this conclusion either. Therefore, she does draw a simplistic conclusion from the complex study and drastically limits the summary to support her conclusion. It does not seem that the article has been updated since July 2015. The article would not be considered a reliable source since it was written with extreme assumptions (Abbasi, 2015).

- SHOW BITS: A tale of 2 red carpets Updated: Mar-02-14 8:40 pm
When Zac Efron found himself behind Daniel Day-Lewis in the backstage bathroom line, he used the opportunity to express his admiration.
LOS ANGELES - Show Bits brings you the 86th annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles through the eyes of Associated Press journalists. Follow them on Twitter where available with the handles listed after each item.


SCISSOR SISTER JAKE SHEARS loves stripping off when he performs, and plans to bare his body well into middle age. The singer, 29, admits he is a naturist and doesn't care where he peels off all of his clothes. Shears tells Spinner.com, "I'm gonna be like Morrissey when I'm 50. He just keeps slipping his shirt off on stage. It's no big deal - it's like being backstage at a fashion show."
Corgan took to Instagram to confirm rumours of new Pumpkins material, saying the first songs could arrive as early as May.


More than 40 animals were seized by the county from a Valley Center ranch over the weekend after warnings from animal control officers went unheeded.
Thirty-one horses, three llamas, four Dexter (miniature) cattle, five geese and one dog were taken by County Animal Services officers from a ranch on Hell Creek Road.
Officials declined to name the ranch or its owner because charges have not yet been filed.
“I don’t think it’s a matter of if, I think it’s a matter of once we determine what charges are filed we’ll let everybody know,” said County Animal Services Deputy Director Dan DeSousa.
DeSousa said many of the horses were in bad shape.
“There are horses here you could describe as being skin and bones,” he said. “Their hip bones are very prominent. You can count every rib.”
Most of the horses also have hoofs that are too long and are cracking which can become a serious issue if let go long enough, he said.
The owner of the ranch was notified on Aug. 16 that the county was concerned about the animals and that they may be seized. When she failed to request a hearing, DeSousa said, a search warrant was obtained and the animals were removed from the ranch on Saturday.
Participating in the rescue, County Animal Services was joined by its volunteer County Animal Response Team, the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA and its Animal Rescue Reserves, and the San Diego Sheriff’s Department.
All of the horses were taken to the county’s animal care facility in Bonita. The rest of the animals were taken to a private ranch or the county’s care facility in Carlsbad.
DeSousa said he has not received a report about the health of the non-equine animals.

Concluding Observations, CCPR/C/ZAF/CO/1, 23 March 2016: South Africa
B. Positive aspects
3. The Committee welcomes the following legislative and institutional measures taken by the State party:
(e) The establishment in 2011 of the national task team to counter discrimination and violence against persons based on their actual or perceived sexual orientation and gender identity and expression, and the launch in 2014 of the National Intervention Strategy for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex Sector;
C. Principal matters of concern and recommendations
Violence based on sex, gender, sexual orientation and gender identity
20. While acknowledging the considerable efforts invested by the State party in this field, the Committee is concerned that gender-based and domestic violence remains a serious problem in the State party, that the conviction rate for such acts is low and that there is a lack of disaggregated data on the phenomenon. It is also concerned about the persistence of stigma against persons based on their real or perceived sexual or gender orientation, gender identity or bodily diversity, and that such persons are subject to harassment, acts of discrimination and sexual and physical violence (arts. 2, 3, 6, 7 and 26).
21. The State party should redouble its efforts to prevent and combat sexual, gender-based and domestic violence and to eradicate discrimination and violence against persons based on their real or perceived sexual or gender orientation, gender identity or bodily diversity, including through implementation of the National Intervention Strategy. The State party should also facilitate reporting, and collecting data on, sexual and gender-based crimes and ensure that all such crimes are promptly and thoroughly investigated, that perpetrators are brought to justice and that victims have access to full reparation and means of protection, including access to shelters or centres run by the State and non-governmental organizations throughout the State party’s territory. The State party should also ensure adequate training for law enforcement and health service personnel regarding domestic and gender-based violence, and violence based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Protection of human rights defenders
40. The Committee is concerned about reports of threats, intimidation, harassment, excessive use of force and physical attacks, some resulting in deaths, by private individuals and police forces against human rights defenders, in particular those working on corporate accountability, land rights and transparency issues, as well as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons and HIV activists. It also notes with concern reports about the lack of due diligence of law enforcement officers in protecting human rights defenders, including registering and investigating allegations of human rights violations, and in securing accountability for such violations (arts. 2, 6, 9, 19, 21 and 22).
41. The State party should take all measures necessary to protect the rights of human rights defenders to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly. It should ensure that police officials receive adequate training regarding the protection of human rights defenders. The State party should also thoroughly investigate all attacks on the life, physical integrity and dignity of these persons, bring perpetrators to justice and provide victims with appropriate remedies.
