Hello, I’m the one who wrote the Journey Across the Planet of the Apes letter, and I just wanted to share a couple more predictions I’ve made since writing that letter. 1. I just recently watched the original ‘68 movie and I noticed when Charlton Heston is talking about what could’ve wiped out the humans, he says something like “Maybe a deadly plague, a meteor storm maybe, I don’t know.” We’ve already had most humans get killed by a plague, and this series is so dedicated to the most obscure of references that now I am almost certain that the leftover humans are gonna get killed by a meteor storm by the end of this trilogy. 2. This one isn’t really based on anything, but just another title prediction. If we’re getting a trilogy of trilogies like they’ve said, then I’m predicting the 9th film will be Fall of the Planet of the Apes, making the perfect payoff to this series starting with Rise. (Maybe that will be the one where the horses rise up)

When I was at 11 th grade I had crush on that girl but I didn't confess my love to her now I'm studying at university 2 year I want to meet her and confess my love.

1. If you wanna start writing for TV and looking for an agent, do you need multiple feature film scripts to show to agents or can multiple TV PILOT script suffice?
   
2. How to find jobs on film and TV sets. It doesn’t matter what kind’ve jobs, even if it’s janitor or getting coffee for people, I just want to work in that environment and that people to work my way in to becoming a writer eventually. I do have a writing bachelors degree so if there’s a position there that works with that, even better. I tried looking for studios location and checking their websites for jobs but that doesn’t seem to work.

Expectations: BEAT
WALD's reported revenue of $68.3 million for the quarter significantly exceeded the average analyst estimate of $59.27 million, indicating a strong performance. However, specific earnings per share data was not provided, making it difficult to compare against the estimated EPS of -$0.01. The revenue growth of 21% year-over-year and segment-specific growth are positive indicators.

My psychiatrist was supposed to review me because I've just started lamictal. He left and I have to accept my new psychiatrist but then I won't see him until the 20th of September. I'm afraid the lamictal will send me manic. I'm supposed to be trying to come off the quetiapine and going onto something else so I can wake up early enough to get to morning lectures as I'm going into my final year of university and my grades matter most then. I don't know what to do because if the lamotrigine triggers mania I won't be very aware of it and I don't want to go to hospital just because the lamotrigine has sent me manic. I'm tired of feeling like a zombie but at the same time I domt want to relapse. I really don't know what to do. I'm running out of my lamictal and I have to wait 72hrs for a new prescription... guessing that will be Friday and I'll be like ughh because I have volunteering that day now I might be late. I'm literally panicking. How am I supposed to start a new medication when I can't even see a doctor to talk about if it suits me and whether to add something else in. I haven't even got my anxiety under control and this is just making it worse. I honestly can't wait to go out tomorrow and buy myself a new build a bear and base it of a character from a british TV show... any advice? I felt like yelling at the receptionist but I didn't. She's nice but I wish My psychs wouldn't just leave me like this. No one even tells me when they leave. I'm just so tired of it. I dont know what to do. I'm gonna be out of lamictal for like 2 days then I'm hoping to get it increased a little bit to see if it will let me feel anything. I'm still on promethazine for anxiety which I'm trying to take as little as possible. I'm so stuck at this point. I'm not even sure what to do with myself. I kinda wanna get a service dog because at least then if I have another episode my dog should be able to tell me. Just as I was finally getting somewhere.... I don't even wake up to an alarm. Honestly what am I supposed to do?

Hiya! I (15M) would like to share with you a situation and what im doing about it. In my all male school there are many idiots that make me more than a little worried for the future of humanity (just think of a male sleepover and general stupidity and multiply it by an entire highschools worth) but when the worst happens is in english class, the teacher of whitch we will call Mr R.
Sooo, Mr R is very strict and REQURES to be on time, no eating or drinking in class and of cource, no talking. SO HOW THE FUCK ARE THESE IDIOTS ARE FAILING ALL OF THEM?? They straigt up dont listen at all. So you know what Mr R does? Well he gives out punishments. Sounds fine right?? Well my sweet summer child THE ENTIRE CLASS GETS PUNISHED!!! So I, a student that is consistently near the top of the class ( i follow his rules, its a low bar i know) has to stay behind DURING LUNCH BREAKS AND THEN EAT LATER (we bring our own food to school so im not activley starving but ITS STILL 20 MORE MINUTES OF LEARNING WHERE I DID NOTHING WRONG) and even worse, Mr R contradicts himself!
THE COCONUT INCIDENT
to make this short: we are learning lord of the flies. Mr R brings a coconut for us to taste. Idiot 1 is eating in class after Mr R warned him not to, gets his cornflakes taken away and is sent out with Idiot 2 who just never shuts up. The remaining students including me gets to taste the coconut milk and im thinking "wow this is a cool way to connect with the story and im having fun!" BUT! Idiots 1 and 2 begin a protest outside, shouting and screaming so they can GET THEIR FUCKING CORNFLAKES BACK. WHAT??? WHAT THE FUCK??? WHY??? YOU ARE JUST RUINING IT FOR EVERYONE!! Mr R brings them back in and makes us sit in silence for the remaining 30 minuites and says we wont get to taste the coconut flesh. BUT HERES THE THING BATMAN! AT THE END HE LETS US TRY IT ANYWAY! THE PEOPLE WHO BEHAVED BADLY HAVE NO CONSEQUENCES AND OTHER PEOPLE GO " huh guess i can do any thing i want"
WE NOW RETURN TO YOUR SCEDULED RANT
so now we are way behind and with about 2 and a half weeks of school left i have to 1: finish reading lord of the flies with the entire class. 2. work with my partner (who relies on me a lot more than id like) to write a log on EVERY CHAPTER about our subject. 3. eventually watch the movie and 4. do a final test.
The thing is i cant do 1 and 2 unless im in english class and progress is slow af, 3 and 4 cant be done untill everyone of these dumbasses finishes 1 and 2. AND NOW MR R GETS ANGRY AT HOW SLOW WE ARE AND IS TALKING ABOUT STAYING AFTER SCHOOL!!! I FUCKING CANT WITH THESE IDIOTS!
what im doing about it
1.moving schools. yeah. next school year im going somewhere else. me, my parents, and the school agree that they dont have the resources to help me (i have autism and ADHD but they are both pretty mild compared to others) at this school and we want to move. still gotta drag myself through exam season tho.

1. work on myself. for the past two years (AKA when i started going to Mr R's class) ive been talking more to my supportive family and even got my introverted ass some freinds outside of school. and i found that vaporwave helps me calm down a lot so I listen to that and i feel a lot better.
   
2. just, y'know, talk about it. like right now.
   

CONCLUSION
im sorry for my messy writing style but thanks for reading! it really means a lot to me and you, yes you, are a awesome person. i dont know who you are (yet) but i know that whatever you are doing is someway making someone feel better (example: reading this) and every minuite you are living is great! Look at you! bad things happen to you and me but look at us! we are still here along with every other person on this planet and despite everything you and i are alive! we are strong together! (i got a litte carried away here i know but this thought makes me happy, and i hope it does the same for you)
alright, i think im done. stay safe and keep thriving!

So recently I was thinking about yugioh BAM a game that unfortunately can't be played anymore and because SWU is the only game I am playing I was thinking about developing a BAM version of it just for fun.
Before I start I want to be sure that the ruleset I made is good so I want a feedback:

• deck size 20 maybe 25 cards.
  
• in the deck you can have each common/uncommon X2 while rare and leggendaries x1
  
• bases and leaders still cover the same roles as the base game
  
• bases have 15 hp
  
• at the start of each round every player draws until they have a full hand of 5 cards
  
• the players don't have to resource their card, each player start with 2 resources and every turn one new resources is added.
  
• every common and uncommon cards are going to cost 1 resource while rare and leggendaries 2 (maybe leggendaries 3 I am not sure yet)
  
• on the field there are 3 columns, 2 for ground units and 1 for space units
  
• the player with the initiative play a card and then the opponent do the same and the cycle repeats until someone press the BAM button.
  
• during the turn a player can play a unit or an event or use an epic action but not attack.
  
• in each column every player can only play 1 unit and 1 event (both cards are going to be hidden from the opponent)
  
• the first player who press the BAM button gets the initiative while the opponent can still play cards untill is done.
  
• when both players have pressed the BAM button is time to pass to the BAM phase:
  
• all the cards on the field are going to be revealed then the events are going to be resolved first.
  
• the events are going to be effective only on the column they have been played (example open fires is going to deal damage to the opponent unit on the same column)
  
• then all the units on the same columns are going to fight following the rules of the base game.
  
• when a unit is destroyed the owner of the unit loose 1 hp, if there is no unit on the column that is a direct attack and the opponent will loose 2 hp.
  
• after all the fight ended each player draw until they have 5 cards in the hand and 1 resource is added to their pool and the player with the initiative start first.
  
• the game end when one of the player looses all their hp or when a player have all their cards in the graveyard.
  
• leaders are going to work as in the base game so they are going to have an action and they can be deployed.
  
• discussing keywords:
  
• On-attack/Restore/Saboteushielded/grit are going to work as in the base game
  
• when played is going to resolve before the events cards at the start of the BAM phase
  
• sentinel: when the unit is defeated you don't receive damage to the base (different effect but still thematically correct)
  
• overwhelm: when this unit defeats another unit deals 2 damage to the base
  
• ambush: the unit deal damage first ( I am not sure about this one it is going maybe to be overpower)
  
• raid: if the unit does a direct attack it deals 3 damage to the base ( make sense I think)
  

So what do you think? is this going to work?
Obviously some of the cards need to be rewritten and the values of the attack and hp is going to be extremely tone down.
The biggest challenge is going to write new abilities for the leaders because leaders such as Leia or the grand inquisitor are not going to work in this game.

Hi folks, I do a bit of writing on the side but nobody fancied picking this up and it's going out of date fast. So I thought I'd share with the sub instead.
Why Unai Emery is the Manager of the Season. And it's not only for his results on the pitch.
On the opening day of the 2023/24 Premier League season, Aston Villa were battered 5-1 away to Newcastle in a match that saw defensive talisman Tyrone Mings suffer a similar season-ending injury to that of his teammate Emi Buendia, who had damaged his knee ligaments in training a few days earlier. Villa’s shiny new centre-back, Pau Torres, looked lightweight and twitchy as a replacement for Mings, with his dreamy blue eyes and expansive, continental passing range only serving to confirm pre-existing fears that he wasn’t cut out for the #PaceOfThePremierLeague. Buendia’s replacement, Philippe Coutinho, gave the least convincing cameo performance since Donald Trump turned up in Home Alone 2.
Sir Alex Ferguson praised the Villa performance regardless, saying they’d played fantastic football and had simply lost bad goals. The natural assumption was that he’d indulged in one too many complimentary sherries, perhaps having gotten lost in the excitement of a new Premier League season after a summer of watching steroid-ridden horses running around and around in a circle. I scoffed. Hell, we all did.
But it turns out there is life in the big red-nosed dog yet - because nine months and 38 matches later, Pau Torres is well en-route to becoming an Aston Villa cult hero and Lil’ Phil Coutinho has been all but forgotten, having spent the season out on loan to… some club, somewhere, presumably in the Middle East.
Back on English soil, Aston Villa have qualified for the Champions League - and we all owe Alex Ferguson an apology. Game, as the kids might still say, do indeed recognise game.
And nobody plays the game like Unai Emery. Not in this past season, at least.
Who else could remain so stoic in the face of not two, but three first-team ACL injuries and a seemingly endless succession of unshakeable niggles to the likes of Jacob Ramsey, Alex Moreno and Youri Tielemans? Not Mauricio Pochettino, who cried it was not fair to judge his Chelsea team in the midst of an injury crisis; nor even Erik Ten Hag, who likened his attempts to improve an injury-stricken team to swimming with your hands behind your back - not easily done, by the looks of things, despite being blessed with a natural, ready-made swimming cap.
Excuses are not my mentality, said Emery back in March. I am usually not speaking about ‘if’. We just have to play. We have to accept each result and enjoy each moment. My objective is to send the same message to players and supporters — enjoy.
And us supporters certainly did enjoy it. We enjoyed reducing Manchester City to just two shots across ninety minutes, enjoyed doing the double over Arsenal without conceding a goal, enjoyed the curing of Ollie Watkins’ goalscoring yips and the long overdue presence of Ezri Konsa in the England squad, the rapid ascension of a team that Steven Gerrard had ambling towards the relegation zone, onwards and upwards not only into the Champions League, but also into our first European semi-final in a generation.
So what if it was only the Conference League? And if a 6-2 defeat on aggregate against Olympiakos was a little embarrassing? If the player who scored a hat-trick in the first leg had only recently returned from a stint in Qatar?
Emery’s squad were running on fumes by then. They’d just seen their goalkeeper receive two yellow cards and not get sent off - they were hallucinating, exhausted. In the words of their captain John McGinn, they were half men. And somehow that’s not even a reference to the ever-changing array of regens, schoolboys and teenagers who filled out the matchday squads towards the season’s end, stinking out the Aston Villa bench like they were passing around a joint at the bus stop.
Of the ten players to have played the most matches across elite European football this season, five of them wore claret and blue (and not a single one of them played for Burnley, although Jarrod Bowen did put in a shift for West Ham). Even the players who were fit were often unavailable through suspension: John McGinn got himself sent off for a shoulder barge against Spurs, only to be outdone a few matches later by the ever-competitive Douglas Luiz, who successfully tallied up ten progressively avoidable yellow cards in time to miss a crucial match against Arsenal at The Emirates.
Of course, supporters of every club will feel that they have attracted the worst luck, endured the most adversity. But I want to highlight Villa’s woes here because neither the likes of Sky Sports or even Emery himself can be relied upon to do so. Out of context, his achievements at Aston Villa are commendable. In context, they become almost astonishing.
It is the sensible decision that he will be named as the Premier League’s Manager of the Season. Arteta’s Arsenal have improved, put up a good fight; Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City have managed to turn the record-breaking into the mundane. And yes, Gary O’Neil is English. But nobody has upset the odds as comprehensively, with as much class, as much commitment as Emery has. He has developed a “no excuse” culture amongst the squad at Aston Villa and in return they have delivered a season for which no excuses are necessary.
I’d hope that he’d sit back now and enjoy the surely-inevitable plaudits. For those of us who’ve been watching closely though, we know that’s not quite his style.
If you enjoyed my writing there's a whole book of it available here! Winner Stays On: England with The FA Cup for a Compass
Cheers.

So, i am a practically recent student started on spring 2024. I have done these 3 courses, ISYE6501 on micromaster , and CSE6040,MGT8803 on spring, got an A on all and want to share my opinion on them.
Also i am right now taking Simulation and MGT6203 any tips for them?
ISYE6501: My first class and my favourite from these 3, The professor was amazing and the class was the right one for introduction. The concepts are too general and i really love the ideas and the thinking behind the teaching methods, not focusing on the theory but on the practical use of the concepts learned. The homeworks and peer grading is strange, you will more likely get 90% with barely some work but it's comepletly hard to get an 100% you need a very good presentation not really matters what work you done , it's all about prospective of other students. The exames where tricky and some questions very strange stated, like they wanted you to get tricked. Midterm 1 was the hardest one while the next became easier each time. I would suggest to start studying early, and DON'T focus on the proofs and math types but try to understand how to use each model and what happens if you change a variable or what's the purpose of it? Also quizlet flashcards were a very big help. ( also the R part on homeworks was easy not really need to learn something complex)
MGT8803: Really don't like the many subjects in one class format, neither the every 3 weeks test . But to tell you the truth, everyone said too much to learn and such a memory class, i have a bad memory and got a 97% overall with average studying. Finance and accounting are the hard stuff, Finance was pretty hard to learn and put a lot of effort, accounting was the first class and was too much to learn in short period of time. But the exams are fairly easy, and the rest of the classes are like 4-5 hours studying per week and you are good to go. Watch the TA and professor recordings and you will be ready for most midterms and actually have a good idea of what's going to happen. Also Bob Mayers on supply chain is my favourite teacher till now , absolutely love this guy the live sessions with him were amazing. Overall easy class , with 2 hard subjects, study early for accounting and finance and use excel and learn how to solve every exercise from the self assesments and you will have at least a 80%.
CSE6040: Professor was good and when he did the classes actually had much fun watching them but the rest classes were blunt and not very informing about what we have to learn. This class was hard, you need to learn to be good on python , actually good not just copy paste master and you need to learn how to have a programming thinking. The midterm 1 was with average 10 so that's tell you enouth , second midterm they screwed up with the long memory and lagging issues and they put 100% SQL problems so that didn't go well but they did a generally curve. The last midterm was a little rough but for someone with no background python knowledge , i scored a 100% overall so that means if you study enough you can too. But be careful, this class need time commitment. The TAs were amazing and very helpful, the best on all classes till now. Also they had these bootcamp sessions every week that they teached and show step to step every coding needed to succed so you have no excuse that you didn't know how to solve something, also they hint many times what's important for the upcoming midterm on these sessions , so unless you are a pro programmer WATCH THEM,and also solve all the past midterms and homeworkds available and you will be on the go for an easy A.

Recently, actually, today, August 22nd, 2022 ! I got an invitation from Freelancer.com, as I have subscribed, that 'were ready to hire you but you have to get Telegram account and add our 'Teacher' to train you for 'real data purchasing or order processing'. Guess what? I did so, even I knew that in my country 'Telegram' doesn't work without using 'VPN', techys know it well.
I gave it a chance and wanted to prove my intuition right, to myself.
The lady in the Telegram account was 'sassy' to attract atleast 'innocent men' to invest with her and her lies but women are a little more open to the '6th sense' but few, hilarious it is.
I, as an all time prompt googler, started googling the 'sister website' of "Bitcoin" , the link she sent me named 'BITKEXN'.
I felt a shiver of fun, and started exploring her more, eventually she started feeling my gut and stop texting me for more details.
These are scammers, don't trust them if: 1. They invite you in 'Telegram' 2. They tell you to use 'VPN' They are fakers, they're working out of the bounds.
that's it.

So I have been battling an anal fissure for 7 months now. Using conservatory methods and oinments nifedipine, diltiazem. The fissure seemed to be healing and then re-teared for no apparent reason. About 2 months ago a skin tag developed so I knew it is the moment when fissure became chronic. The last month pain was way better because I managed to keep stool soft with stool softener.
In January I had a colonoscopy to exclude something else and they said I have internal hemorrhoids.
Since then I have been to several proctologists trying to fix the AF. Some said I have grade 1-2 hems, some said my hemorrhoids are not too big to worry. When I realised the AF become chronic I accepted that in order for it to heal I have to do something more (cleaning the scar tissue and the skin tag)
One surgeon proposed me fissurectomy, skin tag removal and Botox. He said if the fissure does not heal or retareas after this, it will be because of hard stool. (Although it re-teared before and I had good stools.. so this made me a little frustrated since I knew I have been very careful with what I was eating)
Other surgeon said I have internal hemorrhoids and he wants to rubber band them. He said that because of hemhorroids the anus tends to need to open way more than usual in order for a BM to pass. So he said without fixing hemorrhoids first the anal fissure will retar. He said rubber branding has no risks (he even wanted to perform one band right there at the first meeting with him). But I wonder if I really need that... As I have read the recovery is long and painful. And I also did not have hems simptoms before the anal fissure.. maybe sometimes a little itching but no bleeding, no prolapse
I am sooo confused since I do not want to make any unnecessary interventions but I also want to heal my AF...
For people who deal with both AF and internal hemorrhoids, what did your doctor say about this?? Who needs to be treated first hems or AF? Can AF heal even if you have hems?
I have the strange sensation I read some doctors won't touch the hemorrhoids until the fissure is gone. If this is true, does this doctor want me to do the opposite??
PLEASEEE HELP

mfl writing exam today, i somehow managed to write 180 words on the 90 word question. will i be marked down for this?
im a grade 8 student who usually gets full marks on my 90 words, so i dont think i need accuracy taken into account...

Ye so I'm looking for people to chat and play games with or just chill don't actually mind if you don't play games
So here are a few of my interests/hobbies gaming of course, listening to and playing music (bass and piano very badly), photography, audio and tech stuff and that's all of my main interests I do have others but I am too lazy to write them down.
I also have 2 cats so if you wanna see them just say so.
So if you feel like you wanna chat shoot me a dm also EU people preferably for time zone reasons but I don't mind if you are from somewhere else

Being in nonsense for real and how it is
even the mighty sj-chan, rip, had to tear out some more out there instances of Trek. (The warp 9plus lizards became full marrow replacement)
What are points where you have to, for sanity sake, toss out or at least temper canon. Shanks being more professional? Wesley cameo? Star butterfly didn't destroy all magic just whatever the golden honey stuff is,and does?
Celestia doesn't literally raise the sun because...c'mon.
or GI JOE (we actually have uniforms, discipline and parachutes aren't always reliable)
Where is tempering missing the point (so many celebrities and repeat or recast cameos on law and order alone) or killing the fun (does marvel hercules tow Manhattan or did he make it up? What was the canonical re1 and 2?. Who won the sf2 tournament? Is megaman the future of street fighter?)
Is data really emotionless or just ala Brent spider's performance Is Stan Lee everywhere in the mcu?
How would you mix it up? Say Jackie chan adventures. Even when airing the ads point our how "[URL='https://youtu.be/ROivTjP8l3A?si=4w4R8k298BzQbNXP']normal guy jackie[/URL]" was regularly doing superhuman survival stuff from multiple story ladder hops to back-flip dodging barrages of arrows
Of course there are the jrpg concepts of yesteryear wrt carrying capacity, sorting and application of equipment and items
Finally GoT as the seasonal rot sets in and rw fatigue writes the script
What chanfe, explain, depict or avoid? How? Why?

Hi all
I have an app called alcogram that helps me keep track of my drinking, and I love it because once a day it sends a simple push notification where I answer yes or no and then it's logged on the calendar.
Are there any apps available that you can set custom trackings that does a similar thing? If I'm not prompted by my phone I'll do it properly for a day or 2 and then it'll just fizzle out. With the alcogram app I haven't missed a day since NY

The `HSharedMemory` class, part of the Hultrix C++ SDK, is a utility for managing shared memory in Unix-like operating systems. It currently supports reading and writing string data to shared memory segments. As a component of our IPC (Inter-Process Communication) framework, which aims to replace dbus, this class enables efficient inter-process communication by allowing processes to share data through a common memory space. Support for additional data types will be added in future updates.

// g++ -o shared_memory main.cpp -std=c++20 #include  #include  #include  #include  #include  #include  #include  namespace Ht { class HSharedMemory { public: HSharedMemory(const std::string& name); ~HSharedMemory(); void write(const std::string& data); std::string read(); void close(); private: std::string name; int fd; }; HSharedMemory::HSharedMemory(const std::string& name) : name(name) { fd = shm_open(name.c_str(), O_CREAT O_RDWR, S_IRUSR S_IWUSR); if (fd == -1) { throw std::runtime_error("Error creating shared memory"); } } HSharedMemory::~HSharedMemory() { close(); } void HSharedMemory::write(const std::string& data) { size_t size = data.size(); ftruncate(fd, size); void* ptr = mmap(nullptr, size, PROT_READ PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); if (ptr == MAP_FAILED) { throw std::runtime_error("Error mapping memory"); } memcpy(ptr, data.data(), size); munmap(ptr, size); } std::string HSharedMemory::read() { struct stat stat; fstat(fd, &stat); size_t size = stat.st_size; void* ptr = mmap(nullptr, size, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); if (ptr == MAP_FAILED) { throw std::runtime_error("Error mapping memory"); } std::string data(static_cast(ptr), size); munmap(ptr, size); return data; } void HSharedMemory::close() { ::close(fd); } } // namespace Ht int main() { Ht::HSharedMemory writer("/my_shared_memory"); writer.write("Hello from writer program"); Ht::HSharedMemory reader("/my_shared_memory"); std::string data = reader.read(); std::cout << "Data read from shared memory: " << data << std::endl; return 0; } 

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a fundamental strategy for attracting organic traffic to any online business, and dropshipping stores are no exception. In a competitive e-commerce landscape, effective SEO can distinguish your store from the countless others vying for consumer attention. Here's an in-depth look at how SEO can play a pivotal role in driving organic traffic to your dropshipping store.
1. Understanding SEO for Dropshipping
SEO involves optimizing your website to rank higher on search engine results pages (SERPs), thus increasing visibility to potential customers. For dropshipping stores in India, which often operate on thin margins and face stiff competition, leveraging SEO is crucial for sustainable growth.
2. Keyword Research
Keyword research is the foundation of any successful SEO strategy. Identifying the right keywords helps you understand what potential customers are searching for. This involves:

• Long-Tail Keywords: These are more specific phrases that potential customers might use, such as "affordable ergonomic office chair." Long-tail keywords often have less competition and higher conversion rates.
• Product-Specific Keywords: Focus on keywords directly related to your dropshipping products. This ensures that your store appears in searches for the exact products you offer.

Effective keyword research tools like Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, and Ahrefs can provide insights into search volume and competition levels for your chosen keywords.
3. On-Page Optimization
On-page SEO refers to the practices used to optimize individual web pages to rank higher. Key elements include:

• Title Tags and Meta Descriptions: These are the first things users see on SERPs. They should be compelling and include your target keywords to improve click-through rates.
• Header Tags (H1, H2, H3): Properly structured headers help search engines understand the content of your page and improve readability for users.
• Content Quality: High-quality, informative, and engaging content is essential. Product descriptions, blog posts, and landing pages should provide value and include relevant keywords naturally.
• URL Structure: Clean, descriptive URLs that include keywords help search engines and users understand what the page is about.

4. Technical SEO
Technical SEO ensures that your website meets the technical requirements of search engines. Important aspects include:

• Site Speed: Fast-loading pages improve user experience and are favored by search engines. Tools like Google PageSpeed Insights can help you identify and fix speed issues.
• Mobile Optimization: With the increasing use of mobile devices, having a mobile-friendly website is crucial. Google uses mobile-first indexing, meaning it predominantly uses the mobile version of the content for indexing and ranking.
• Secure Website (HTTPS): Security is a ranking factor. Ensure your site uses HTTPS to protect user data and improve trust.

5. Content Marketing
Content marketing is a powerful tool to attract and engage your target audience. By creating valuable content that addresses the needs and interests of your potential customers, you can drive organic traffic and establish your store as an authority in your niche. Strategies include:

• Blog Posts: Regularly publishing blog posts on relevant topics can attract visitors searching for information related to your products.
• Guides and Tutorials: Comprehensive guides and how-to tutorials can drive traffic and build trust with your audience.
• Product Reviews and Comparisons: Detailed reviews and comparisons help customers make informed decisions, increasing the likelihood of conversions.

6. Link Building
Backlinks from reputable websites signal to search engines that your site is credible and authoritative. Effective link-building strategies include:

• Guest Blogging: Writing guest posts for popular blogs in your niche can earn you high-quality backlinks.
• Influencer Collaborations: Partnering with influencers can generate backlinks and drive traffic from their audience.
• Broken Link Building: Identify broken links on other websites and suggest your relevant content as a replacement.

7. Local SEO
If your dropshipping store targets specific geographic areas, local SEO is essential. This includes optimizing for local search terms, creating a Google My Business listing, and encouraging customer reviews.
Conclusion
SEO plays a crucial role in attracting organic traffic to a dropshipping store by improving visibility, driving targeted traffic, and enhancing user experience. By implementing comprehensive SEO strategies—including keyword research, on-page and technical optimization, content marketing, link building, and local SEO—you can increase your store’s online presence, attract more visitors, and ultimately boost sales. In a competitive dropshipping market, investing in SEO is a vital step towards long-term success and growth.

Hi there! TLDR, Canadian with a four year non-teaching BA and around 7 years teaching experience in Asia. I've scoured Reddit for answers and advice, and I'm still very much at odds with the best way forward.
The goal is to improve my employment opportunities and be more competitive going forward in the international school sphere as quickly as possible. I don't plan on teaching in Canada, the US, or the UK at any point. While satisfying various visa requirements is good (and necessary), I would also like to upgrade my eligibility for "higher quality" schools in Asia and elsewhere. I am presently employed at an international curriculum (IGCSE) school in China doing grade 9-10 ESL. Please note I plan on doing an MA next year regardless of the teaching license question, likely in something like "International Adult Education" or some such.
I see two main options. One, doing a full iQTS with PGCE program from September this year. This route gets me a legitimate, well-regarded teaching license and a ton of instructional content for becoming a better teacher. In some ways, you're pretty "set" after completing a program like this. The downside: several universities do not offer the iQTS with the PGCE from September (ie, only the iQTS), and the ones that do seem to require placements at two separate schools and/or across multiple grades (ie, grade 10 and grade 6). In short, it's possibly the most effective option, but it could be very difficult to actually fulfill the requirements of the program.
Two, a US license with American Board, MTEL, or (unlikely) Moreland. Yes, Moreland seems like the most tried and true route on this, but American Board is a fraction of the time and cost (ie, all of 2-3 months of $1500 USD) and even MTEL seems like it could satisfy most teaching license hiring/visa requirements. Taking this path, I would knock out an American Board and then probably start an MA much sooner.
Lastly, you might be wondering why I don't do a Canadian BEd. TLDR, doing one on the ground just isn't feasible at the moment, unless anyone has heard of a fully remote option that's opened up.
Thanks a ton in advance for any feedback!
