7 Point Checklist to Dominate Your Personal Brand Using Google Plus
As you build out your online presence, adding Google+ is a key component to your marketing strategy.
Not only will it assist in improving website and blog traffic flow, but will allow you to dominate your personal brand by using Google Plus as the rocket fuel!
Google+ TIP
Pay attention to your ripples! Ripples are a Google+ feature that allows you to measure how your content is connecting with your audience.
On each post, click on the drop down menu and choose "Ripples" to see who is sharing your content and how far the reach on that particular post actually was.
The value here is in making personal connections with those sharing your content. Seek them out and thank them. Taking the time to reach out and connect shows how much you value those that assist in spreading your message.

"...while light of any wavelength might slow down instantaneously in a medium, anything with mass won’t. So if you’re moving at 80%, 90%, or 99.9999% the speed of light-in-vacuum and then you transition into water all of a sudden, you’ll find yourself moving faster than the speed of light in that new medium! And if that’s the case, something remarkable happens.
When a charged particle moving slower than the speed of light-in-vacuum enters a medium where it’s moving faster than light in that medium, it polarizes the surrounding molecules as it passes them. The excited molecules quickly drop back down to their ground state, emitting a very special type of radiation known as Čerenkov radiation, which shows up as a characteristic blue glow in, for example, the nuclear reactor shown above."

How to build quality circles
Circle sharing is getting a bad reputation these days, mainly because of the "+1 and reshare to get into this circle" phenomenon.
If you run such a circle, consider removing this criteria. It attracts a lot of spammers, and you don't want that?
Instead, take a look at a set of rules I have come up with for adding profiles with higher quality:
Profile completely filled out
No ifs or buts. The profiles in your circle will often be used by new people on G+, and we all need to know exactly who we add. And generally, spammers do not take the time to fill out their profiles!
Example: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+StephanHovnanian/about
Profile picture of the person
Not their kid or pet. And not a company logo. I am talking about profiles here, not pages.
Coverphoto changed
May sound unnecessary, but as this will serve as examples for beginners, I want it all to be correct. It also gives you another possibility to learn to know the person behind the profile.
Posting frequency
Latest post should not be older than 7 days. This means that no inactive profiles end up in your circle.
High ratio of own content to resharing
Minimum 60%-40%. Meaning that for every 10 posts, minimum 6 should be original posts, not reshares. Why go for the resharers when you can go one step up and find the original content?
No memesharers or profiles that just shares tons of photos
If the photos are their own, it is good. But people that just steal other peoples pictures and post the are just content hoarders. It has nothing to do with real content. It is ok if someone posts a picture or meme now and then. But the photographer should always be credited!
No profiles that has a high count of circle sharing
If someone spend most of their time sharing circles, what is there to interact with? Google+ is all about interaction, not how many followers you have.
Only make circles with specific themes
You should have a reason for making a circle. And keep it small so that you have the time to maintain it. If you want photography, add 50-100 photographers in a circle and make sure they all follow the rules above. You could even be more specific and go for landscape photographers. Or 50-100 food bloggers/chefs. Or 50-100 writers. Find your own themes.
When I am considering adding someone to my circles, these are points I consider. I want people that I can learn something from and that I can interact with.
Can you think of any other things? What do you think of these rules?

What goes around, comes around
On September 3, 2002, an amateur astronomer named Bill Yeung looked into his telescope and discovered a strange object near Earth. Experts were surprised to discover that it was orbiting Earth! The orbit was unstable, which meant this object hadn't been here long. But there was no recently launched spacecraft that matched the orbit of this thing!
It got the name J002E3. It's fun to watch this animated gif and see how J002E3 came in from the Lagrange point L1 between the Earth and Sun, went around the Earth a few times, and then got kicked out.
But what was it?
University of Arizona astronomers found that its electromagnetic spectrum was consistent with white titanium dioxide paint - the same paint used by NASA for the Saturn V rockets. Tracing back its orbit, they found that it had probably been orbiting the Sun for 31 years. The last time it was near Earth was1971.
This seemed to suggest that it was a part of the Apollo 14 mission. But NASA knew the whereabouts of all hardware used for this mission! The third stage of that rocket, for example, was deliberately crashed into the Moon for seismic studies.
So, the most likely explanation seems to be that J002E3 is the third stage of the rocket for Apollo 12. NASA originally planned to shoot this into an orbit around the Sun. But they used more of the propellant than planned, and it seems that venting the rest didn't give this rocket stage enough energy to escape the Earth–Moon system. So, it ended up in a complicated orbit around the Earth after passing by the Moon on November 18, 1969.
It may hit earth someday! It weighs 10 tonnes. But don't worry: a 10-tonne meteor hits the Earth every few years, and most of them don't cause much trouble.
I think saw this animated gif in a post by Ole Olson. The explanation here is adapted from Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J002E3
and the animated gif was made by Paul Chodas & Ron Baalke of NASA.

The idea of a star-within-a-star is weird. Known as a Thorne-Żytkow Object, a nesting-doll star was first proposed by two physicists, Kip Thorne and Anna Żytkow, back in the '70s. But no one has ever seen one. Now, though, Alexandra Witze reports at Nature, astronomers have found the best candidate yet. Although a neutron star is only ten miles or so across, its gravitational pull is so strong that it could draw matter away from its huge but more diffuse companion. In the process, it would slow down, like a ship dragging an anchor. Eventually the neutron star, in an ever-shrinking orbit, would plow into the outer layers of its neighbor. After a few thousand years it would spiral down into the star’s center, demolishing the existing stellar core but leaving the rest of the star essentially intact. A red giant that has been violated in this way has come to be called a Thorne-Zytkow object--even though no one has ever seen one.

Thanks for the invite. I am taking a slightly different path that still requires an entrepreneurs mind set. A regular 9-5 mindset just won't do it.
I've had an Amway business in the past and my wife and I are currently changing our mindset AND watching our business explode. It is not about finding money (investments) but rather it is about serving people.
Now read this carefully! My wife and I are NOT using social media to try and get people into our business. In fact, we will never approach you at all. It takes a different mind set and we go through a vetting process that is done face-to-face over 3 or 4 meetings to make sure who we are working with even qualifies. What we are using social media for is facilitating some of these face-to-face meetings via the internet.
I will post here maybe once a month. Most of my activity will be found on either my public profile or on our business page. I look forward to the postings here and hope to help build a stronger community of mutual support for stepping out and amassing $1M in the bank.

8 Smart Tips to Maximize Your Blog Content
Working smarter, not harder is the way to go with blogging and social media.
Creating a great article for your blog is a long process and it takes time to craft the perfect headline, write an interesting article and then find a photo. Many bloggers stop working once they hit publish and wonder why no one is coming to their blog or sharing.
Cross promoting your blog content across social media platforms sounds complicated but once you put it into your routine, you’ll find that it’s worth the effort.
Tip #1
Have the link to your latest blog post underneath your email signature using WiseStamp. You only need to set this up once and it will update via RSS feed. http://www.wisestamp.com/
While you are setting up your WiseStamp email signature, add your social media links as well so people can follow you.
Tip #2
Be tweetable.
Add a tweetable quote to your blog posts to engage Twitter users using Click to Tweet. http://clicktotweet.com/

Scientists reveal the discovery of a triple System composed of a Pulsar and Two White Dwarfs all entirely within a space smaller than 1AU! which is the average radius of Earth's orbit around the Sun. The Pulsar is located about 4200 light-years from Earth, spinning nearly 366 times per second.
"Astronomers using the National Science Foundation's Green Bank Telescope (GBT) have discovered a unique stellar system of two white dwarf stars and a superdense neutron star, all packed within a space smaller than Earth's orbit around the Sun. The closeness of the stars, combined with their nature, has allowed the scientists to make the best measurements yet of the complex gravitational interactions in such a system.
In addition, detailed studies of this system may provide a key clue for resolving one of the principal outstanding problems of fundamental physics—the true nature of gravity.
"This triple system gives us a natural cosmic laboratory far better than anything found before for learning exactly how such three-body systems work and potentially for detecting problems with General Relativity that physicists expect to see under extreme conditions," said Scott Ransom of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO).
West Virginia University graduate student Jason Boyles (now at Western Kentucky University) originally uncovered the pulsar as part of a large-scale search for pulsars with the GBT. Pulsars are neutron stars that emit lighthouse-like beams of radio waves that rapidly sweep through space as the object spins on its axis. One of the search's discoveries was a pulsar some 4200 light-years from Earth, spinning nearly 366 times per second."

Hi. My name is Keith Barrows and I just found this community. Looks good so far but I am on a phone right now and can't fully explore the community. :)
I did have a question on logo design. I picked out my domain name a long time ago. It is SOL3.NET. Sol is the Latin name for our sun, and Earth (or Terra) is the 3rd planet out. Hence Sol3.
I also have another domain called TerranInstitute.com that I eventually plan to use for space related purposes.
I've tried a sun with a 3 on it. I've tried a solar system with earth highlighted. I'm just not finding a great balance between simple (Apple logo) and informational (that says Sol 3!).

Scheduled HOA Events are here! Jump up and down and rejoice!
HOA Tips & HOA Events Tips
The ability for you to plan a (HOA) Hangout on Air event ahead of time is now here for all of us to use. We now have a Real HOA Event Tool
This means the use of the old Event tool may go away for most people and the confusion of an event being a 'hangout' or 'on air' type vs. a hybrid HOA Event may become a thing of the past!
The new "Schedule a Hangout on Air" button creates a SHOAE (Scheduled HOA Event)... with lots of great options and integration so here are the main things you should know about...
Using the Scheduled HOA Event Tool lets you:
► Harvest a Reserved Video Link for an upcoming HOA (you can advertise that ahead of time... Way ahead of time)
► Schedule a HOA Event in advance and advertise that event page
► Add in a Video or Graphic 'Trailer' which will be automatically replaced with the Live HOA video when you start broadcasting (no more hunting around for a YouTube link pasting spot just before you go live)
► If you add a Graphic Trailer image, it can be an animated GIF
► With or without a Graphic Trailer there's a countdown timer when interacted with on the event page (not with a video trailer)
► You can swap out the trailer at any time before the show starts
► Q&A App is easily integrated into the SHOAE
Bottom Line here is that the new Scheduled HOA Event option is much smarter and more like what we've all been wanting for quite a while. Your Event it creates acts as a great landing page for live activity.
Read up on the official Help Page for the tool:
https://support.google.com/plus/answer/4386744?hl=en&ref_topic=2553242
