August 28, 2019 – – Fort Worth, Texas based Moon and Owl Marketing has published a new blog entry on their website, in which they share advice on details to consider when seeking a reliable SEO specialist. They are a full-service marketing agency who commits their efforts to delivering the best results to their clients, alongside the best customer experience.

The Fort Worth SEO agency states that business owners tend to struggle whenever they need to find a reliable SEO specialist to optimize their website. Their recent article, titled “SEO Agency Fort Worth: Things to Know Before Hiring One,” was posted in an attempt to help such business owners find experienced professionals who can deliver the services they require. Notably, the post begins by clarifying why businesses need an SEO specialist.

While few question the importance and impact of search engine optimization, and many are already aware of the broad services offered by SEO specialists, Moon and Owl Marketing states that the process of hiring such a specialist is not as straightforward as it may seem at first. This means that, to obtain the best results, one should look for an experienced company. While many agencies claim that they possess the requisite expertise in the field and can help elevate a business to new heights, Moon And Owl Marketing explains that business owners can look out for certain signs that indicate the true capabilities of the agency in question.

As noted in their article, clients should begin by observing how transparently the SEO agency conducts their business. For instance, an agency that cannot offer a clear answer detailing their SEO process and what their services entail may not be able to deliver the services that are expected of them. It may lead to the agency contesting the terms of their contract down the line, arguing that they never agreed to deliver the results the client was hoping for. It is common for business owners to fall prey to these tactics, despite such issues being relatively easy to avoid by asking direct questions regarding the agency’s services—such as whether they are able to carry out GMB optimization.

Moon And Owl also advises their readers to avoid companies whose employees and representatives possess a big ego, as these strong personalities are often a sign of the company making up for their lack of knowledge and covering for their poor services. This will directly translate into a poor work relationship with their clients, as they will be less open to receiving suggestions on their work, and less receptive to feedback from the client they are working for.

“The SEO Agency you hire should focus on helping you and your business grow, not avoiding your questions or talking about how great they are,” affirms Jordan Fowler of Moon and Owl Marketing. He adds, “If they are not willing to listen to your goals and clear your concerns, they will definitely not care for you and your company enough to help you succeed. Well-defined goals and clear strategies are key when it comes to SEO. However, if they are not willing to work alongside you to determine the project’s priorities, you and your company will be the ones who suffer.”

Moon and Owl Marketing states that clients should also attempt to build a clear vision of what they require before they approach an agency. This will give them an easy topic of discussion to hold with the SEO specialist they hire, and will help both parties rapidly come to an understanding of what SEO services are required and what the client hopes to achieve. Once their goals and priorities have been clarified, at least to an appreciable degree, it should not be difficult for a client to find an agency capable of fulfilling these goals through carefully constructed strategies. Moon and Owl notes that there are several marketing agencies in the Texas area who possess the knowledge and experience necessary to deliver highly positive results—and who also have a long history of satisfied customers to vouch for them.

Moon and Owl Marketing invites those in need of reliable SEO services in Fort Worth, Texas to contact Jordan Fowler to follow up on any inquiries. They may also visit the company’s website or connect with them on social media to learn more about their services.

August 28, 2019 – – Princeville, Hawaii based Surf Till 100 has announced a new program to help everyone become servant leaders. Tom Woods, co-founder of Surf Till 100 and the President of Reef Guardians Hawaii, stated, “We are all born with the capability to lead in our own unique ways. It takes the Heart of a Champion to be a great Servant Leader. We invite everyone to take on the challenge because leadership is transformational, developing abilities which benefit everyone around them.”

At the heart of the program is a foundation based on helping everyone lead healthier, happier lives, which in turn is expected to help them live longer. “Becoming true champions for humanity and for our planet will help leaders of any age, young and old alike, to make a profound difference in the lives of many others. We can see that the groundswell of passion is currently frustrated, hampered by the feeling that, as individuals, we can’t make a difference. We urge anyone who feels this need to make the world a better place to tap into making a conscious, intentional choice to lead,” continued Woods.

With over 100 combined years of experience in health, fitness, and competitive sports on a professional level, the founders of Surf Till 1000, Jeff Hakman, Felipe Pomar, and Tom Woods have a mission to help empower surfers, and anyone who wants to live a long and healthy life, in transforming the world into a more humane and healthy environment. Central to their unique program is the development of techniques to help others shift their core beliefs in order to manifest and actualize the greatness that is theirs to gain. They help their members become empowered, helping them exercise courage and learn from their own experiences to grow into the person they really want to be physically, mentally, spiritually.

The company has just finished their second annual Surf Till 100 retreat at Nemberala Beach Resort and puts into practice their inspirational and motivational experiences to help individuals, couples, and families develop a more focused and healthier lifestyle. Those keen to participate may look up further details on the company’s website, which has already been updated with their 2020 program.

The founders aim to bring together those who feel the same sense of urgency in the face of unprecedented decline in the physical and spiritual health of the global population. Those interested in learning more can subscribe to their free newsletter through their site as well as read the informative articles on their blog. “The knowledge that we share with our free newsletter subscribers is priceless for those people that truly wish to develop the Heart and the Mind of a Champion,” says Tom Woods.

The company was recently featured on Street Insider, highlighting how the legendary Kauai surfers have united to help both mankind and the environment. The article states, “Armed with their pragmatic optimism that human ingenuity can be used to overcome those difficult challenges, the work of Surf Till 100 is focused on creating and developing Wellness, Leadership, and Community Building educational programs that can help the common person become uncommonly resilient and a True Champion for Life who transmits the spirit of Aloha throughout their lifetime.”

That spirit of Aloha resonates around the world with all those who share concerns for their environment and the impacts that man has had on their environment. Through a commitment to encourage and promote the culture of servant leadership, the company is developing heart-based intelligence in leaders and teams who are contributing to moving from the mentality of survival of the fittest to one with a more balanced focus of being an agent of change and growth—that begins within and spreads to others. Through this, individuals can become healthier, emotionally, and intellectually stronger in all aspects of life, and take more enjoyment from the experience of the moment, of the ocean, and the natural environment.

Their program can help anyone successfully master the basics of a healthy lifestyle, combining diet, exercise, and emotional resilience, to improve relationships and involvement in a supportive community. They will help anyone overcome their obstacles and challenges to help them develop their own unique style and focus as a Servant Leader.

Those who wish to learn more about the health and leadership coaching programs offered by Surf Till 100 can sign up for the program through their website. They may also contact the company by phone or email.

August 28, 2019 – – Princeville, HI based Surf Till 100 is excited to announce that they have launched a campaign to support the environmental conservation efforts of Save The Waves and Reef Guardians Hawaii.

Tom Woods, Co Founder of Surf till 100 and President of Reef Guardians Hawaii states, “The Surf Till 100 and Heart Wave Adventures Team, as surfers for the majority of our lives who possess an intimate relationship with Mother Nature for over 200 years combined, are supporting the activities of Save The Waves and their establishment of World Surfing Reserves and Reef Guardians Hawaii in the education of present and future environmental stewards. On our journey to assist our fellow man, our mission includes taking positive transformative action—and inspiring others to take action—in order to address urgent threats to our planet’s health and the possible extinction of mankind itself.”

As they state on their website, Save The Waves considers it their mission to protect, “coastal ecosystems around the world in partnership with local communities, utilizing a unique combination of protected areas, economics, and direct action.” Given that the organization places a special emphasis on the protection of the world’s most beautiful surfing locales and coastlines through their World Surfing Reserves (WSR) program, they are a natural fit for Surf Till 100 to partner with.

Woods says, “We’ve been surfing for most of our lives and we know exactly how much a beautiful and healthy ecosystem benefits the sport. “Due to this, we consider it our duty and privilege to support WSR in its efforts to seek out and sustain the most outstanding waves, surf zones, and surrounding environments around the world.” According to Save The Waves, WSR, “serves as a global model for preserving wave breaks and their surrounding areas by recognizing and protecting the key environmental, cultural, economic, and community attributes of surfing areas.”

As WSR’s activities are enacted in partnership with local communities, there are several criteria that need to be fulfilled before a surf zone is designated a WSR site. Once a community submits an inquiry to have their location considered, WSR investigates whether the site features a globally-significant surf spot or outstanding series of surf breaks, a set of unique environmental characteristics along with clear avenues to protect them, rich surf culture and history, and, perhaps most importantly, a strong foundation of community support. Interested parties may look up further details by visiting Surf The Waves’ official website.

Similarly, Reef Guardians Hawaii (RGH) states that they are, “composed of seasoned, professional organizational leaders, ocean researchers, community leaders, students, and the ocean user community that love and take responsibility for our near-shore ecosystem.” The organization makes it their mission to raise awareness of the valuable local reef environment and the measures that can be taken to protect it. In particular, they reach out to local youth in an effort to instill a respect and awe for the marine environment, teaching them how to be, “responsible caretakers for our marine community.”

RGH also carries out ongoing testing of Hawaii’s marine environments, including the region’s coastlines, reefs, and rivers, to stay up to date on the status of native ecosystems. This data, according to the organization, is also freely shared with other environmental protection agencies. For instance, they state, “We continued testing the waters of several rivers, including the Hanalei River, and discovered the presence of heavy metals like Nickel at rates 10-100 times the approved safety levels. Local and Federal government agencies have been alerted and we are working with them to resolve the issue.”

Surf Till 100 is run by co-founders Jeff Hakman, Felipe Pomar, and Tom Woods, each of whom are widely regarded as legendary surfers and coaches. Highly involved with their community, they maintain a steadfast belief in helping their students achieve the ‘Culture of a Champion,’ a mindset that enables the individual to grow into a better and more conscientious version of themselves.

Woods asserts, “Through innovative heart based educational programs and collaboration with other Champions, we seek to promote the development of the sense of wonder and curiosity that inspires positive change, and communicate the importance of creativity and innovation as the keys to a sustainable way of life when its aligned with respect for the Earth’s interconnected systems. We also try to spotlight critical issues and showcase solutions, motivate citizen involvement, wire and inspire social entrepreneurs to accelerate problem solving, and bring humanity into harmony with itself and nature.

Those who wish to learn more about the surfing group and their environmental drives may contact Tom Woods of Surf Till 100 to make further inquiries. Additionally, they may visit the respective websites of Surf Till 100, Save The Waves, and Reef Guardians Hawaii to read more about their activities and get involved with their conservation efforts.

August 28, 2019 – – Bronte NSW based Ambient Electrical recently launched a campaign to raise awareness of the need to have smoke detectors installed. The company considers the campaign a necessary step to fulfill their commitment to the communities they serve. Learn more by visiting the following link: https://www.easternsuburbselectrician.net.au/services/smoke-alarms-electrician/

Ambient Electrical understands that some residents or business owners may hesitate to pay for an item, that they may never need. Company owner and operator Peter Stafford says, “After all, it’s possible you’ve never seen a true blaze outside televised news. You may be inclined to believe that a fire of that magnitude will never touch your home, or that you’d always be able to smell smoke and respond quickly enough to remedy the situation yourself. However, one of the reasons that fires get out of hand is that people don’t take the threat of a fire seriously enough.”

While emergency situations, by definition, are not the norm, Stafford explains that an emergency is exactly what a smoke alarm is designed to prevent. “Homeowners may live without incidence for 99% of their lives, but it sometimes takes only one stray spark from an electrical outlet to put them and their family at serious risk, to say nothing of the investment they have put into their home and belongings.”

He further points out that people are far less sensitive to smoke than a smoke alarm, which is specifically designed for this function. He says, “An individual cannot rely on their senses to alert them in time, in the event of a fire. This is true even if they’re awake and aware—and the problem is compounded if they’re asleep.” For instance, it is nearly impossible to detect carbon monoxide gas, a by-product of inefficient burning. Odourless and colourless, it can cause a loss of consciousness at a high enough concentration. This could prove fatal to everyone in the event of a fire.

For more information, watch this video: https://youtu.be/1WAwlwH8PsU.

As Ambient Electrical states on their website, “Each year, Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) attends approximately 4,500 residential fires in NSW alone. On average 21 fatalities occur in residential fires across NSW every year. According to FRNSW case study, 1/3rd to a half of those lives could have been saved if the smoke alarms in those homes were in good working order and had a Fire Escape Plan in place.”

Aside from the risks to personal safety, Stafford points out that homeowners have to comply with local laws regarding smoke alarms. The Building Legislation Amendment (Smoke Alarms) Act 2005 and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Amendment (Smoke Alarms) Regulation 2006 mandate that at least one smoke alarm must be placed on every floor of all residential and commercial properties. This includes rental properties, owner-occupied properties, caravans and campervans, and relocatable homes and/or any other residential building where people stay & sleep.

“Given that the average homeowner or business would not know the ins and outs of these legal requirements,” says Stafford, “it is highly recommended that they seek the services of a reliable, professional electrician. Whether compelled by law or good practice, a local professional would know that smoke detectors also need to be installed outside each bedroom—and a property with multiple smoke detectors should have them interconnected to ensure that one alarm can set off the rest if necessary.”

In addition to this, they can also help the property’s inhabitants or employees understand what additional measures they need to take to ensure the detectors are functioning correctly. This may include informing them that it is mandatory to replace lead or alkaline batteries every 12 months, to replace alarms every 10 years and to have the smoke alarms tested every 12 months as well as teaching them the proper way to test detector batteries each month, interpreting the manufacturer’s instructions regarding replacement, and so on. “It is vital,” Stafford adds, “that any and all smoke detectors are placed in locations where smoke is most likely to reach them. This depends on more factors than can be considered through guesswork, and only someone with the requisite training and experience will know not only where to place a smoke detector but also which types of detectors best suit that location.”

Those who wish to have smoke detectors installed at their residence or place of business may contact Peter Stafford of Ambient Electrical to get started. The company can also be reached through their online contact form that can be found here: https://www.easternsuburbselectrician.net.au.

August 28, 2019 – – In two of its recent blog posts, Hard Drive Recovery talks about file system maintenance, computer cleanup and restoring deleted files from a USB drive using a Mac system. The posts continue the RAID data recovery service’s dedication to customer education, of particular concern in the Mac world, where there is often far less technical information available for novice users.

In the post, “Practical Ways To Clean Up Your Mac”, Hard Drive Recovery Group discusses freeing up space on a Mac system – particularly important as Macs rarely provide the opportunity to either upgrade to a larger hard drive or add an additional internal hard disk to the system. Items like old documents and videos as well as duplicate files can become a major space hog on any Mac system, so searching them out and deleting them can do wonders for the user.

“There are not as many file management applications for Macs in general, but the ones that are available tend to be quite usable for minor file clean up,” said Maureen Davies, spokesperson for Hard Drive Recovery Group. “Each and every day computers tend to pile up files on their drives, so scheduled maintenance is critical for a smooth running machine.”

The article also addresses the idea of moving larger or rarely used hard drives to alternative storage media, such as an external hard drive or the cloud. This technique tends to be very valuable, as some of the largest files that a user has stored are frequently the ones that are used the least.

“Easily one of the biggest disk space hogs on virtually any personal computer system tends to be video files, mainly because they tend to be so incredibly large,” said Davies. “Fortunately, it is rare to constantly need all video files on an internal hard drive, so it is better to move those to a USB or external drive. The savings can be immense!”

In a second blog post, entitled, “Recovering Deleted Files From USB: Can You Do It On Mac?”, discusses how some Mac users are making use of a software called Disk Drill 3 to recover accidentally deleted files from a USB storage device. The software has been very popular among Mac users, and boasts a fairly good set of reviews.

“While Hard Drive Recovery Group data recovery engineers rarely recommend data recovery software for potential customers because of the vastness of the market and the potential for malfunctioning or even damaging software, Disk Drill 3 is a reasonable package,” said Davies. “Again, considering that the Mac iOS is such a smaller software ecosystem than that of Microsoft’s Windows, programs like this are much harder to come by for the typical Mac user.”

The Disk Drill 3 software not only offers minor file and data recovery features; it also offers other solid file management tools such as the ability to find and delete duplicate files, as well as a strong backup feature. Essentially, it is one of the most robust, yet safest data recovery software products on the market for Macs.

“Obviously, if a user encounters a full-on catastrophic physical hard disk failure, a product like Disk Drill 3 is simply not going to be effective at all,” said Davies. “But, for minor accidental deletions, this is a reasonable product that at least is going to protect deleted files from being overwritten.”

As a RAID data recovery provider, Hard Drive Recovery Group does stress that data recovery software should really only be used on single disk, personal systems. RAID arrays and other complex multi-disk setups for business, says Davies, should only be examined and repaired by data recovery professionals, as the data on these systems tends to be quite valuable.
