Eid-Ul-Adha Mubarak

MILLIONS of Muslims around the world will come together to celebrate Eid Ul Adha this weekend, but throughout its duration what is the proper way to wish someone a happy Eid Ul Adha? Eid Ul Adha begins on Monday, August 12 2019, and lasts for three days before it concludes on Wednesday, August 14 2019 in India. The festival is known as the “Festival of the Sacrifice” and acknowledges the prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son for Allah. It is one of the holiest events on the Islamic calendar but what is the proper etiquette for wishing someone a happy Eid Ul Adha?

This year, Eid Ul Adha begins in India on Monday, August 12 2019 and ends on Wednesday, August 14 2019. Each year it is celebrated according to the Islamic lunar calendar, Eid Ul Adha which falls on the 10th day of Dhu al Hijjah, when the Hajj (pilgrimage) takes place. Eid Ul Adha honours the sacrifice of Ibrahim. The story in the Qur’an details how Ibrahim had a dream whereby Allah commanded him to sacrifice his son.

Ibrahim agreed to follow God’s command and perform the sacrifice - however, Allah intervened and provided a lamb to sacrifice instead. This sacrifice is continued during Eid al-Adha where Muslims around the world slaughter an animal to commemorate Ibrahim’s sacrifice and to remind themselves of self-abnegation in the way of Allah. Traditionally during Eid Ul Adha, Muslims exchange gifts and money with friends and family and are often given new clothes.

During gatherings, Muslims will also eat traditional food together to celebrate. Muslims may invoke an act of zakat and friendship by slaughtering a sheep and distributing its meat. The meat is shared between three groups: one share is given to the poor and needy, another is kept for home, and the third is given to relatives.

During Eid Ul Adha Muslims are encouraged to be especially friendly and reach out to one another during this period. But what are the correct greetings and customs for wishing someone a happy time during Eid Ul Adha? The most established greeting for Eid Ul Adha is “Eid Mubarak” which is a traditional Muslim greeting reserved for use on the festivals of Eid Ul Adha and Eid ul Fitr.

Eid means feast which makes reference to the event itself, whereas Mubarak means blessed - so overall Eid Mubarak means blessed feast. Muslims wish each other Eid Mubarak after performing the Eid prayer. They will also chant the Takbir, which is the Arabic phrase “Allāhu akbar”, or “God is great”, before and after Eid prayers.

Other messages shared between friends and family includes:

May the blessings of the great Allah be with you now and always.

On this Holy festival of Eid al-Adha that we get to celebrate the Hajj, may you be filled with delight. May each stage of your ride through life be sanctified.

As Allah waters his formation, may He also sprinkle his astounding blessings over you and your family.

May your plate of life always be full of delicious kebabs and tikkas, topped with the chutney of success. May it be accompanied by the bread of joy and happiness.

On this festival, may Allah listen and answer all your prayers. Have faith in Him, and He will grant all your heart desires.

May Allah lead you to the path of greatness this Eid al-Adha.

May the favourable occasion of Eid bless you with harmony and bring joy to your soul and family. May the blessing of Allah be with you.

May Allah grant all your wishes and accept your sacrifice. May he fulfill all your desires in life. I wish happiness for you and your family today and always. Eid Mubarak!

Take a break from living in stress and this is Eid so let’s celebrate! You are welcome to join us. Life is so endlessly delicious. Happy Eid Day!

Start living now and stop worrying about tomorrow. Life is too short to spend in tension. Just enjoy every moment of every day. Thinking of you on this Eid Day.

Eid Mubarak! Seize the moment and be happy. Because, very little is needed to make a happy life, it’s all within yourself and your way of thinking. Wishing you the best today and always.

May this Eid brings you joys unlimited, may all your wishes come true on this holy day and may you and your family be blessed by the grace of Allah. Eid Mubarak!

SEO Best Practices Are Like A Chocolate Milk-shake

First things first, I really like chocolate milkshakes. (There, I said it… No turning back.) I think they are delicious and no two are exactly the same. (Unless you buy two from same place, then they’re more or less exactly the same.) Though some are chocolat-ier and some are creamier than others, a chocolate milkshake is still a chocolate milkshake. Unless you go to Wendy’s, then it’s called a Frosty and it’s delicious.

The point I’m making is that chocolate milkshake’s are made up of 3 main ingredients; Ice cream, Chocolate, and Milk. Great SEO is made up of 3 main ingredients too; On-page and Off-page optimization, and Great Content. Even though you put these 3 main ingredients in, you can end up with a slightly different product in the end if you adjust the quality. By quality, I mean time and effort.

Any great SEO will tell you that SEO takes time and you will get out of it what you put in. The more time and effort you spend, the better your results will be. Now, let’s take a look at the 3 main ingredients in a great SEO chocolate milkshake.

On-Page SEO (AKA the Ice Cream)

If SEO were a chocolate milkshake, on-page optimization would be the ice cream. There are quite a few factors to consider with on-page SEO such as keyword density, page format, and CTA’s; unique page titles, meta keywords, and proper meta-descriptions.

To date, there is no official mathematical formula for the perfect on-page keyword density Keep your keyword usage natural for the reader. The search engine bots are getting very smart, and are starting to look at websites the same way a human does.

Here’s an example of an unnatural way to use keyword density using the keyword “best potato salad”:

 The best potato salad comes from the best potato salad factory that we built using only the best potato salad. We love the best potato salad simply because it is the best potato salad. You can taste our best potato salad and BestPotatoSalad.com. 

If I continued on, this post would be seen by both the user and search engine bots as unnatural, and ultimately provide end users with no real value.

    Having a Unique Page Title is very important to SEO as well. If every page is titled the same “Home | Best Potato Salad” or “Blog | Best Potato Salad,” it can limit your site from being ranked for multiple keywords.

    Page format and style are additionally an important factor in SEO. A best practice is to design a clutter-free page with the most valuable information above the fold, or invest in responsive web design If your page features a large amount of ads above the fold, it is likely to get dinged in the search engine results page (SERP).

    Writing Unique Meta-Keywords and Meta-Descriptions are essential to gaining a higher click-through-rate. Most search engines no longer use this Meta-Data in their algorithm for results, but it will help you draw people into your site. A common mistake I see is that people use the same Meta-Keywords and description on every page. (“Our Potato Salad is the Best Freakin Potato Salad you’ve ever had, period!) Make your description unique, but relevant to every page. As far as length, you’ll want to keep your Meta-Keywords to 70 characters or less, and your Meta-Description to 150 characters or less.

    Placing Alt Text on any images you have on your page will help those images appear in the Image SERP. The text should be relevant to the picture.

    Using proper header tags throughout your page (H1, H2, H3, etc.) shows the search engine bots a level of importance. The title of your page should be in H1 format, giving it the highest importance. The subtitle should be in H2.

Off-Page SEO: (AKA the Chocolate)

You can’t have a great chocolate milkshake without the chocolate, thus bringing us to Off-Page SEO. The primary components to Off-Page SEO are building quality links and earning social media shares. These days, link building isn’t as easy as it was a few years ago. Link building is like strategic networking where quality wins over quantity. If you have a high quantity of poor links pointing your direction, you can get heavily dinged in the results. (Example: You have a Potato Salad website with a high majority of your links coming from various Pay Day Loan sites.)

If you haven’t checked your back links in a while, it’s a good idea to get it done A.S.A.P. Also, make sure that you put “checking your back links” on a monthly or bi-monthly checklist.

Great Content: (AKA the Milk)

If SEO were a chocolate milkshake, great content would be the Milk. After all, you can’t have a milkshake with the milk (that would just be ice-cream, which is also delicious), Great content is something that gives the end user useful and engaging information. Without the end user sticking around to read what about you’re selling, showing, or saying, there’s really no point of making a webpage.

In contrary to what a lot of websites put out there, great content isn’t always about you. You don’t always need to write about how awesome you are, and how eating your companies World’s Best Potato Salad will help you get lucky tonight. (Actually, I would read that one..)

The point of providing great content is to give the end user valuable information. This will make you and your company the authority on the subject ultimately giving the end user a place to turn when they are ready to buy.

P.S. This post was not intended to offend any of the following people.

- Potato Salad farmers and/or growers

- Potato Salad factory workers

– People who eat potato salad as both an entrée and a side item

- As well as anyone in the Milkshake industry

(I love both Potato Salad and Milkshakes, just not at the same time.)

Dancing the Google Dance

We didn't cover all of the updates, but did try to gather enough for a solid overview. The point, as we walk through Google history, is to realize how fluid you – as an SEO professional, webmaster, site owner, search marketer – need to be to keep up with the fluctuations in search. It's not a stable space to fill as an industry. You have to be flexible, on your toes, and willing to change your tactics.

We're on the front lines, people. Researching, defining and creating any kind of SEO strategy is the first step in attacking the enemy. We may call it the Google Dance, but it's war, plan and simple – where competing businesses can die a cold hard death if we win.

What do you think Google's next update will target? Anything specific? Share your prognostications with our readers!

Information on Birthstone: Crazy Items Info Chain-1

In the Old Testament, the book of Exodus tells the story of the Breastplate of Aaron, used in religious ceremonies. (Aaron...just in case you were absent from Sunday school that day...was the Biblical figure who performed, at Moses' direction, the miracles that confounded Pharaoh and his magicians.)

Aaron's breastplate was adorned with four rows of gemstones, three gemstones in each row, in the following pattern: Sardius, topaz, carbuncle; emerald, sapphire, diamond; ligure, agate, amethyst; beryl, onyx, jasper. These twelve gemstones represented the twelve tribes of Israel. The twelve positions were later co-opted by astologers who linked them to the twelve months of the calendar year and the twelve signs of the zodiac.

The Traditional Birthstone List contains these older birthstones and represents birthstone traditions heralding back to the 15th century. The Modern Birthstone List was created by the National Association of Jewelers in 1912 in Kansas City, Missouri. Gemstone purists complained that the NAJ list was devised solely for commercial purposes (they probably didn't believe in Santa Claus either!). As a result, astrologers who prescribed gems often substituted alternate or secondary stones. The Mystical Birthstone list below originated in from Tibet over a thousand years ago. The Ayurvedic Birthstone list is derived from age-old Ayurvedic Indian Medicine, a practice of native people for more than a century.

• Month Modern Traditional Mystical Ayurverdic
• January Garnet Garnet Emerald Garnet
• February Amethyst Amethyst Amethyst Bloodstone
• March Aquamarine Bloodstone Jade Bloodstone
• April Diamond Diamond Opal Quartz
• May Emerald Emerald Sapphire Agate
• June Pearl Alexandrite Moonstone Pearl
• July Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby
• August Peridot Sardonyx Diamond Sapphire
• Sept. Sapphire Sapphire Agate Lapis Lazuli
• October Opal Tourmaline Tourmaline Jasper
• November Yellow Topaz Citrine Citrine Pearl
• December Turquoise Lapis Lazuli Onyx Ruby

Astrologically speaking, your place on the Zodiac is more meaningful than your birth month for tapping into your "power," which has led to the creation of the following list of "Star Stones" related to the star under which you were born, rather than the day.

• Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Ruby, Agate, Garnet
• Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Garnet, Moss Agate, Opal, Amethyst,
• Pisces (Feb. 19-Mar. 20) - Rock Crystal, Sapphire, Amethyst, Bloodstone
• Aries (Mar. 21-Apr. 19) - Bloodstone, Diamond
• Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20) - Sapphire, Turquoise, Amber, Blood Coral, Emerald
• Gemini (May 21-Jun. 20) - Agate, Chrysoprase, Pearl
• Cancer (Jun. 21-Jul. 22) - Emerald, Moonstone, Pearl, Ruby
• Leo (Jul. 23-Aug. 22) - Tourmaline, Sardonyx, Onyx
• Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) - Jasper, Carnelian, Jade, Sapphire
• Libra (Sep. 23-Oct. 22) - Opal, Lapis Lazuli, Peridot
• Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Aquamarine, Topaz
• Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Sapphire, Amethyst, Turquoise, Topaz

So whether you choose an emerald from the Breastplate of Aaron, a moonstone from Tibet's mystical birthstone list, an opal for its ayurvedic birthstone properties, or your very own "star sign" representative...may the force (of the birthstone) be with you!

If you're still young enough to remember your birthday, you probably also remember the special birthstone assigned to it. But at your age, we bet you don't really know the SIGNIFICANCE of your birthstone and what power the ancients felt would be bestowed about you by wearing it.

• March Birthstone: Aquamarine
• Birthstone Properties: Bestows courage, insight, and victory
• Alternative Birthstone: Bloodstone

Aquamarine is the traditional birthstones for March. It is also the accepted anniversary gem for the 19th year of marriage. Aquamarine is mined primarily in Brazil, Nigeria and Zambia.

Water Baby

Created by combining Latin words for water (aqua) and sea (mare), aquamarine does indeed resemble the bottomless blue of seawater. Like Emerald, aquamarine is a variety of beryl (a mineral that crystallizes within large rocks on the earth's crust).

Aquamarine varies in color from blue-green to a light sky blue, and for generations, those stones containing green are often heat-treated to remove this less desirable color. Surprisingly, unlike other coveted gemstones, the majority of aquamarines are flawless. As a gift, aquamarine is unsurpassed in its legendary abilities to preserve and enhance mutual love, to ensure truth in relationships and to maintain a good marriage

When In Rome...

Ancient Romans believed the magnificent gemstone was sacred to Neptune, the god of the sea. Some legends say that it was gift from mermaids, while others suggest that Neptune retrieved it after it fell from the jewel boxes of sirens and washed onto shore. Early sailors wore aquamarine talismans, engraved with the likeness of Neptune, as protection against dangers at sea.

The association with water led to the belief that the Aquamarine was particularly powerful when immersed. Water in which this gemstone had been submerged was used in ancient times to heal a variety of illnesses of the heart, liver, stomach, mouth and throat. Aquamarines were also used to reverse poisoning and to aid in fortune telling.

Heal Me

Many believe that aquamarine helps dependence on drugs, is an aid in digestion, and can be used as remedy for swollen glands and to maintain the health of the jaws and teeth.

On the non-physical plain, aquamarine is believed to release anger and negativity replacing them with mental peace and clarity, providing emotional and mental balance. It has been used as an aid in meditation and to assist in self-expression.

A Gift of Love

To dream of aquamarine signifies the making of new friends. To wear aquamarine brings love and affection. To give aquamarine is to offer the gift of knowledge, foresight and individual inspiration. It is a universal symbol of youth, fidelity, hope and health.

Ideal for carving into cameos and beads, the "blue sea" stone is said to aid seafarers so it is a wonderful gift for sailors, fishermen, and everyone who spends time at sea. A a gift of aquamarine symbolizes safety and security, especially within long standing relationships.

Caveat Emptor (Buyer beware): The beautiful light blue to blue-green color of aquamarine may fade upon prolonged exposure to light, so it is especially important to purchase this gem from a reputable source.

May's Birthstone: Emerald

• Birthstone Properties: Symbolizes serenity and peace of mind.
• Alternative Birthstone: Sapphire

Emerald is the birthstone for May and also the anniversary gemstone for the 20th and 35th years of marriage. Some people believe wearing an emerald brings wisdom, growth...patience. It is perhaps this last attribute that may explain why a gift of emerald for an anniversary -- or any occasion -- is symbolic of love and fidelity.

All Eyes on Emeralds

Emeralds were once prescribed for eye diseases because the green color was believed to be soothing to the eyes. Early stone cutters kept emeralds at their tables to gaze upon as a way to give their eyes a break. Even 21st Century color specialists agree that green is soothing, restful, and relaxing for the eyes.

Today's versatile emeralds continue to be "easy on the eyes," used in earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and other body adornment.

The Color of Spring

An emerald shines like green lightning, filling us with the same wonder as the civilizations that came before us. Ancient Egyptians mined emeralds in the eastern desert region 2,000 years before Cleopatra's birth, yet today recent finds in North Carolina may provide a new source for quality emeralds in the U.S. Colombia, Brazil, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Madagascar, Nigeria, and Russia are where most emeralds are mined in the 21st Century.

May's birthstone seems perfectly suited to the rites of Spring, matching the colors of the season with its own bottomless green. In fact, the Egyptians engraved emeralds with symbols for Spring foliage to represent eternal youth, and then buried the jewels with their dead. Elsewhere in the ancient world, the Romans associated emeralds with fertility and the rebirth brought about each Spring. Nero, it's said, watched the gladiators through emerald glasses

The Incas worshiped emeralds...as long as they could. In the 1500's, they were invaded by Spanish Conquistadors who stole their gemstones and pillaged their mines. As a result, many of the world's most magnificent emeralds were lost at the bottom of the sea inside shipwrecked Spanish galleons.

It's Not Easy Being Green

The word "emerald" is a variation of the Greek word "smaragdos," which means "green stone"...perfectly appropriate for a gemstone that is, in fact, the green variety of the mineral beryl. Emeralds range from strong bluish-green to green hues, although some emeralds have a slightly yellowish green. If the hue is too yellow...or too blue...it loses its "emerald" status and is simply a different variety of beryl.

Colombian emeralds are generally agreed to be among the most beautiful gemstones in the world, with a grass-green coloring highlighted by a touch of blue.

April Birthstone: Diamond

• Birthstone Properties: Enhances competence, trust and love
• Alternative Birthstone: Opal

Formed deep within the earth where there is intense heat and pressure, diamonds are simply crystallized carbon. April's birthstone is the perennial first choice for engagement rings, but is it also the anniversary gem for the 10th and 60th years of marriage when eternity bands and other diamond-detailed rings replace original wedding bands.

The ancient Greeks believed that diamonds were splinters of stars fallen to earth. It was even said by some that they were the tears of the Gods or perhaps crystallized lightning or hardened dew drops. In fact, the exact origin of diamonds is still something of a mystery, even to scientists and geologists.

India is thought to be the first river-bed source of diamond mining. The ancient Hindus called the diamond "Vajra," (lightening) because of the sparks of light that it emits as well as its invincible strength. Arguably the most beautiful gemstones on the planet, diamonds are also harder than any other substance on earth and found today in Australia, Botswana, Russia and South Africa.

Dr. Diamond

Diamonds have long been credited for having certain medicinal properties. During the middle ages, these gemstones were thought to heal illness, but only if the ailing person took the diamond into bed to warm it up first!

Of Kings and Queens, Archdukes and Duchesses

Legend has it that Cupid's arrows were tipped in diamonds and over the centuries, this magnificent gemstone has acquired a well-deserved reputation as the ultimate gift of love.

In less democratic times, diamonds were reserved for royalty...the only people "entitled" to their symbolism of strength, courage and invincibility. But in 1477, Archduke Maximillian of Austria gave a diamond ring to Mary of Burgundy and before long the tradition of diamond engagement rings was one embraced by even the most humble brides-to-be and their suitors.

The diamond's white hue signifies life, joy and innocence. But diamonds may be nearly any color in the rainbow plus a wide range of browns, grays, and white. Shades of yellow are most common, followed by colorless. Blue, black, reddish, and greenish are more valuable (some extremely so).

P.S. I Love You

It's interesting to note that a woman wears her diamond on the third finger of her left hand because early Egyptians believed the vena amoris (vein of love) ran directly from the heart to the top of the third finger, left hand

A gift of a Diamond is symbolic of everlasting love. There is no more convincing a promise of an enduring relationship than the brilliant gemstone that has endured in people's hearts throughout the history.
