Jurassic Park Daily - Jurassic Park

In the movie clip that corresponded to the previous chapter, where the group see dinosaurs for the first time, there was a moment right at the beginning where Ellie Sattler was looking at a leaf and saying that it had been extinct since the time of the dinosaurs. I’m not going to quibble with the movie over it - it’s an effective setup for the there are dinosaurs moment; she’s realizing, via her field of paleobotany, that something is going on here that should be impossible.

But when you have time to think about it, it doesn’t make sense - what, were the mosquitos biting plants? Where would they get Mesozoic plant DNA? But plants can be very resilient, and there are some still around today similar to those that did exist in the time of the dinosaurs. So in the book, the park creates a Jurassic ambience by using those plants:

Serenna veriformans, a plant found abundantly in fossils more than two hundred million years old, now common only in the wetlands of Brazil and Colombia.

And that’s what makes it all the more egregious that the park has a dangerously poisonous fern planted poolside. This isn’t like not knowing the Dilophosaurus was venemous until they made one, where there was no information to tell them so. Information on these plants existed, and they just didn’t bother to check, because, as Sattler notes, they treated them as just scenery. (The relevance of poisonous plants will come up again!)

(It also raises all kinds of thoughts about things they couldn’t know. What if a plant wasn’t hazardous to modern herbivores, but was toxic to dinosaurs, and they planted it in herbivore enclosures? They’ve got life-forms that they know almost nothing about, because there’s almost nothing they can know prior to making them. The fact that they’re not even bothing to do the research on things where information is readily available indicates the level of ignorance and arrogance going on here.)

The cutesy names for the dinosaur habitats are just another little thing that adds to the impression that Hammond and his team are not regarding this enterprise with nearly enough humility. And the bars on the windows show they’ve already been running into the unexpected.

And these warning signs mean that it takes our scientists only one chapter to go from absolute wonder to cautious suspicion.

My Spider-Man & Batman Fanfic (WIP) #4:

Omg I just realized that since Aunt May is literally a nurse she could be the first link to the Batfam.

So I've been having trouble deciding on how the Parkers and Batfam would first meet. Like...how they would meet, why, where etc. What reasons would the Batfam would want to know more about them. I finally figured some of it out.

The first reason I feel like it would be mentions of Dick walking around the city. Then they would meet Richard Parker and just assume he's a doppelganger. (When two people who are unrelated look exactly alike.)

Then like 2 weeks later, there'll be evidence of 2 people breaking into Wayne Enterprises or something similar. 2 weeks after that they're seen again and they're inconsistently breaking into rich people's companies etc.

Now 2 months after the Parkers arrive in Gotham, one of the Batfam is incredibly hurt and can't communicate with the rest of the Batfam. They're hurt and are in need of medical assistance. That's where May comes in! And guess what she conveniently has a whole med room ready and prepared to help them. She helps them and while they're passed out or something and when they wake up, they're a little confused but they like May. (I don't know who gets hurt, either Tim, or Jason. I'm leaning towards Jason since May's gonna be in crime alley and all that but I also would not mind Tim.)

Now why does may have a whole med bay set up? And how? Well like a month after they arrived in Gotham, they all managed to find each other. Peter is discovered last and they all obviously know that he's Spider-Man. (they have some memory of Peter's life. Not a lot but they all know that he's Spider-Man. Should I keep it that way or change it?)

Peter wants to go back to being Spider-Man and they need to stock up on Items. Mary and Richard are in charge of gathering supplies (stealing) and Peter isn't allowed to join since it could jeopardize his identity before it's even revealed. They know that the Batfam is onto Richard and May.

Now whether or not Peter joins later on or does his own runs, idk. But that's for future me to decide on.

So because the supply runs May gets her own medical equipment, and decides that she's going to help the people of Crime Alley get the medical attention they deserve. Also she wants to bring back F.E.A.S.T.

So may is gonna be a Charity worker/organizer/founder of F.E.A.S.T. by day and the nurse of the fucking underworld by night! Ok I'm kinda exaggerating but what I mean is that she will be an illegal nurse during the night ( idk who will be on stand-by during the end of Peter's patrol, but I was thinking that the rest of the family would, maybe Ben.) She would help anyone in need, that includes the VILLAINS!! This would be interesting since she died in an explosion that was caused by one of the people she tried to help (green goblin). I feel like she'd have a bit of trouble with the villains. She'd help them but she'd be really scared while doing so and maybe a little angry. She died and I want to explore that part of her character. Peter would definitely object to her becoming like an illegal Nurse but gives in to her because he loves her very much and wants to support her. He's just constantly worried about her.

Anyways I was also wondering if there are any canonical "illegal nurses" that are in Gotham. I've read fics where there is a nurse that Jason, or the rest of the Batfam go to when things get rough on patrol and the nurse/doctor is a civilian. Maybe they can be friends with May!!

Anyways this will obviously get May investigated. And boom! She has documents and stuff! Now I feel like the Batfam won't realize that the info is fake for awhile. Since Peter's parents are literal spies and they're pretty damn good at making a whole new identity without getting caught (my head cannon) and Peter's intelligence is crazy. He's also like 20 here he's definitely smarter now than when he was a teenager. And he had Ned and Tony teaching him how to hack. Now I feel like Barbara is the better hacker but I need the plot to slow down sooo....

I need to think more on this later. Anyways yea! This is like a part of May's Story that I would want to write!

Hope you enjoyed it! If y'all have any questions you can ask me about it! Maybe even give me some ideas if ya want! This is all just a WIP and I honestly I am not gonna start this fic for a while...but Everytime I post the story gets more and more coherent. Lol.

Tips for Launching Your Own Commercial Fishing Business

Do you want to start your own commercial fishing business adventure? If that’s the case, you’ve come to the right place. At the Commercial Fishing Permits Center, we offer a variety of services to help people who want to get into fishing get started. You’ve surely realized at this point that you enjoy fishing and want to earn a living doing it, so you may want to establish your own commercial fishing enterprise. Commercial fishing is an important part of the world economy, and it can also be a very profitable and satisfying job. Only in the U.S. does commercial fishing create close to two million jobs each year. In this blog post, we’ll explain how to start a commercial fishing business, from getting the right permits to getting your boat and crew ready.

How to Start Fishing for Business Before you start a business in commercial fishing, it’s important to learn as much as you can about the industry. For those who love it, commercial fishing can be a tremendously fulfilling career while being challenging and even risky.

Getting Started So, where to begin? Well, you’ll need a boat, and not just any old boat will do. You will need to buy a boat that is ready for the rough conditions of commercial fishing. That means having a fully stocked first aid kit, safety gear, and a galley in case you are out at sea for days at a time. You might also want to hire a crew of commercial fishermen with a lot of experience who know the waters you will be fishing in. Lastly, you need to figure out what you want to catch and how you will do it. This will depend a lot on where you live and, to some extent, on what the market wants. You will also need to make sure you have the right state or federal fishing licenses.

One of the first things you should do is decide what kind of fish you want to catch. It’s crucial to base your choice of fishing technique on the kind of fish you hope to catch.

The next step is to get the commercial fishing permits you need to run your fishing business. This will include permits from NOAA and other regulatory agencies, as well as licenses from state and local governments.

How to Get Permits for Commercial Fishing We make it easy for you to get all of the permits and licenses you need to start your commercial fishing business at the Commercial Fishing Permits Center. You can fill out and send in all the necessary forms from the comfort of your own home using our private online portal. This saves you time and trouble.

We offer a wide range of services, such as help with federal fishing permits, state commercial fishing licenses, and USCG documentation. Your personal and financial information will always be safe when you use our SSL-secured service.

Regulations And Following The Rules Once you have your permits, it’s important to stay up-to-date on the latest commercial fishing rules and requirements. NOAA is a key player in regulating commercial fishing in the US. They set rules and guidelines for things like catch limits, gear restrictions, and fishing seasons.

Not only is it important for fish populations to stay healthy by following these rules, but it can also help protect your business from fines and other penalties. Make sure you know the most recent rules and regulations, and always run your fishing business in a way that is responsible and good for the environment.

Setting Up Your Commercial Fishing Business Now that you have your permits and have met all the rules, it’s time to set up your fishing business. This includes buying or renting a boat, getting a crew, and setting up a place to process and store the fish.

One way to do well in commercial fishing is to get along well with other fishermen and people who buy seafood. These connections can help you find the best places to fish, get the best prices for what you catch, and build a good name in the business.

Start Your Commercial Fishing Business Today Similar to other types of entrepreneurial projects, starting a business by fishing for money can be hard, but it can also be very rewarding. You can build a successful and long-lasting fishing business by getting the right permits and licenses, following the rules, and making strong connections in the industry.

We can help you every step of the way at the Commercial Fishing Permits Center. We are here to help you get a commercial fishing permit or set up your processing facility. Contact us today to find out more about our services and how we can help you get started in the commercial fishing business.

Moneyball is the Future of SEO — Whiteboard Friday

Welcome back to Whiteboard Friday! First up in our fall season, Will Critchlow shows you how, much like the NBA, SEO is undergoing an analytic revolution — and how you can make the most of it.

To hear more on this topic, and from our other amazing MozCon 2022 speakers, be sure to pre-order the video bundle!

Click on the whiteboard image above to open a high resolution version in a new tab!

Video Transcription

Hi, Moz fans. Will Critchlow here, CEO at SearchPilot. I want to start today by talking about the NBA in 2001. This is what the shot chart looked like. So these are the 200 most commonly shot from locations in the NBA in 2001.

So in professional basketball, you can see that they took a load of shots around the rim. These are the dunks and layups. They took a load of shots from outside the three-point line, and they took a lot of these mid-range shots, which are all the jump shots in between.

NBA analytic revolution

Something happened in the subsequent 20 years, because today the shot chart looks more like this. It's pretty mind blowing. You can see there's still a ton of dunks and layups, still a ton of three-point shots, but the mid-range has all but disappeared. Why is that? Well, what happened was they installed advanced camera systems in every NBA stadium and every NBA arena and applied a whole load of advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence to track all of the players and the ball throughout every single game.

And using that advanced statistics, they could track all kinds of things that they didn't have before, like how closely guarded the player was when they were shooting, whether they dribbled left, whether they dribbled right, all those kind of little details. And out of that data, they discovered that these mid-range shots, that had been part of the game forever, were less effective than everyone had assumed.

It turned out that they were almost as hard to score as the three-point shots, but, of course, worth far less. The dunks and layups worth only two points, but easy enough to be worth shooting. The three-point shots worth half as much again, worth shooting, but the mid-range less so. But it took the advanced statistics to be able to figure that out.

SEO analytic revolution

I'm going to argue that we're undergoing a similar analytic revolution in SEO. The equivalent of the cameras in every stadium is not cameras watching us type. It's SEO A/B testing, where you can take a hypothesis. So you can take the particular onsite change that you're thinking of making, that you think is going to bring a big benefit to your organic search performance, and you can test it in a scientific way and get the expected impact as well as the confidence interval on that impact.

I'm not going to get into detail today about how to run those tests. We've talked about that before, and we'll link in the show notes to more detail on how you can run those tests. But the point being this kind of testing is available now.

And what it's doing is it's bringing a similar kind of realization to especially enterprise SEO, very large website SEO that happened in the professional basketball game. And the equivalent, I'm going to argue, is that the mid-range is all of those untested changes to your website, all the little things that maybe you do because it's best practice, or you heard something from a Googler, or you heard something from an expert, maybe even someone like me, and they said, "Hey, you should do this thing," and you roll it out on your website.

But actually, they're way lower percentage than we'd always assumed, just like the mid-range shot is in the professional basketball game. And you have all of those cases where you get excited. The equivalent of your crossover is you find maybe an insight from some keyword research, and you have some new thought about how searchers might be looking for your website.

And you pull up for that mid-range jump shot, where you make the change. So you start modifying your titles and meta information, for example, on a whole bunch of pages based off these insights. But too often that's a massive air ball. We've seen so many cases where we have rolled out changes that are based on that kind of insight and huge negative impact, -20%, -27% organic search performance as a result of some of those untested changes.

Moneyball is the future of SEO

And so my argument that moneyball is the future of SEO, the strategies that I think those large websites are going to be building upon in the future is a combination of winning tests. Those are our dunks and layups, the things that we're very sure to make those shots.

The three-point shot: new content

And the equivalent of the three-point shot, I'm claiming that this is new content, so new pages, new site sections, super valuable. If you don't build out new content, you're going to struggle over time. But super hard as well, just like the three-point shots are in the game. They're harder, but they're worth more.

So you build the strategy of building out new content and rolling out winning tests, which are your dunks. And you cut out the mid-range, which are all those little tweaks, all those untested onsite changes.

And then the final piece of the strategic puzzle here is that you drive your test cadence up. So the basketball equivalent, again, is that over this same time period possessions per game are up almost 10% over that time. And the reason for that is that if you have an edge, if you have an advantage over your opponents, which is exactly what this kind of advanced insight gives you, you want more goes.

You want more repetitions, and that's just like you walk into a casino and you play roulette once, maybe you win. You play roulette a thousand times, the casino is definitely winning and that's because they have the edge. So if we have the edge because we're running these tests, we want to drive the number of tests up and test cadence. And so the very highest performing teams that I see doing this kind of moneyball SEO approach, they are building their strategy off this kind of thing, new content and winning tests.

And then they're setting KPIs around test cadence and making sure that they run more of those tests, they run them more quickly, and that they're driving performance that way. So I hope you've enjoyed this little ramble through NBA basketball into SEO testing. I'm Will Critchlow, CEO of SearchPilot. Take care.

-- CHARACTER --

Name: Rishan “Rhys” Amin Faceclaim: Manish Dayal Age: 29 Blood Status: Halfblood Affiliation: Neutral Former School & House: Hogwarts, Slytherin Occupation: Stage Magician and Professional Trickster

-- BIOGRAPHY --

- Rhys and his twin brother, Ravee, got to live the best of both worlds as half-bloods. They enjoyed the fantasy that muggles created. For Ravee, that was comic books about superheroes. For Rhys, it was stage magic.

- When they went to Hogwarts, Rhys was sorted into Slytherin and Ravee in Hufflepuff. It didn’t matter that they were in different houses, because they were still the closest of friends. They helped each other study, and, when it was necessary, even swapped places with each other. Very few people could tell them apart.

- After school, Rhys was eager to enter the world of performing. He wanted Ravee to go with him as a double act, but his brother didn't care for the limelight like him. He joined the Hogwarts Staff as the muggle studies teacher while Rhys started performing on street corners in muggle London.

- There were still times that the two swapped places though, when Ravee needed a break. Rhys would take over a lesson and none of the students would have a clue. At least, all except one. One year, there was a girl who saw right through him. She was observant and sharp, like him, and he made a note to keep an eye on her.

- It turns out, she did something similar. After she graduated, she ended up finding him and joining his act. She came from a family of performers so she had the necessary skill set, but it was also more than that. Right from the moment they'd made eye contact across the classroom and she'd fixed him with that knowing, insider stare, he'd known. A magician was only as good as his assistant, and Celeste was his key to success.

- After trying to start their act in London and finding little success, the two travelled to America - the land of opportunity. Things were rough at the beginning. They moved from shitty apartment to shitty apartment, booking gigs where they could, earning favours where they couldn't. Behind closed doors, Rhys did things to earn money and make connections that he'd never admit to Celeste. He'd promised her the stars, and he wasn't going to stop until he'd made good on that.

- Unfortunately, even as they started getting more successful professionally, the struggles they faced at home kept building. They were tired and irritable and it wasn't too long before they got into a nasty fight. Rhys said some things he instantly regretted, and Celeste left. It was only when he was alone in his apartment that he realized that his feelings for her - that his driving need to give her a good life - were more than just professional. He was in love with her. Perhaps he always had been. But it didn't matter. He'd lost her, and wasn't good enough for her anyway. She deserved the stars, and all he could offer was smoke and mirrors.

- When she came back, he apologized for everything he'd said. He promised he wouldn't be so intense, and he'd listen to her more, and that there was no one else in the world he'd rather perform with. He's doing his best to honour that.

- Rhys and Celeste frequently use magic in their act and as a result, have definitely had to run away from MACUSA once or twice. Not only do they use spells, but Rhys is a Legilimens and Celeste is an Animagus.

- Having reached a level of fame that makes them both international sensations, Rhys and Celeste have returned to the UK to dazzle and bamboozle a new audience.

-- TRAITS --

Negative - Dishonest - Single-minded Positive + Ingenious + Enterprising
