Media Man Bloggers: Google Featured Snippet Callouts, False Premises, MUM & More (Search Engine Roundtable)
Google Featured Snippet Callouts, False Premises, MUM & More (Search Engine Roundtable)
Search Engine Roundtable YouTube
Google MUM Gives Featured Snippets Consensus, Google Breaks Bad, Ranking Tremors, Lens, Spam & More (video)
Greg Tingle
A most interesting and education podcast today. There's a number of complexities with Google's MUM. One is that in the history of the world many times the general consensus or mass population belief of various topics eventually got proven to be incorrect. Examples could be the colonisation / invasion/ discovery of Australia re Captain Cook, the Earth is flat, the existence of Aliens (which is more of an open and balanced conversation now opposed to say the 1900's), is God real, cures for Cancer and other diseases, how many planets there are in the solar system, and so it goes on.. Over the past week I thought my journalism and media scribes were getting censored again, but this wasn't the case. It was just a glitch in the Google Matrix Of Things, which is still a concern. Reminds me of Netflix movie current screening, 'Blackhat' staring Australian Chris Hemsworth, that I watched this week and it almost seemed more like a documentary! People, systems and webcode are not perfect and people and corporations can become corrupted or get bugs, so this means things can break. Hopefully Google is back to 100 percent now or at least close. Back up work and spread risk are a few of the reminder lessons in this. It would be interesting to get a quote on the matters by Elon Musk, Kim Dotcom and a few other leading business masterminds in and around the digital business space. Thanks again.

Blog: Crown Sydney, Australia opens under a close eye; Mixed response from great to concern depending upon what business and community sector
Crown Sydney, Australia opens under a close eye; Mixed response from great to concern depending upon what business and community sector
The NSW casino regulator has warned that its independent monitor installed to watch Crown’s Sydney casino will scrutinise every move Crown makes at the $2.2 billion Barangaroo tower when its high-roller gambling floor opens for the first time today.
As gaming group Crown's flagship skyscraper casino on Sydney Harbour finally opens its doors to VIP customers, anti-gambling groups are concerned about the harm caused by gambling.
Only Crown members and guests will be allowed to wager when the Crystal Room gaming floor opens on Monday, with patrons having to undergo comprehensive checks.
Crown had been prevented from opening the high-end casino in its $2.2 billion dining and hotel tower in Barangaroo for more than a year.
The opening was blocked after an inquiry led by former Supreme Court judge Patricia Bergin found Crown was not fit to operate a casino.
The inquiry heard evidence of foreign junket operators with likely organised crime links being allowed to do business through the casino.
The approval was finally granted earlier this year by the NSW Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority (LGA) for the members-only gaming facilities inside the upscale Barangaroo complex.
This week the NSW government will introduce legislation designed to improve transparency and accountability for casino operators and clamp down on organised crime and money laundering risks.
The centrepiece of the reform will be the establishment of the NSW Independent Casino Commission, which will have enhanced and wide-ranging compliance and enforcement powers likely to extend beyond the existing powers of the existing authority.
Casinos will be banned from dealing with junket operators under the reforms.
The chief advocate of the Alliance for Gambling Reform, Tim Costello, said the Royal Commission into Crown Casino Melbourne exposed a pattern of predatory behaviour that caused great harm.
"Gambling harm was front and centre of the inquiry, it was clear that Crown failed to protect people and instead systematically sought to exploit them," he said in a statement on Monday.
"With the opening of Crown Sydney, we hold deep concerns about the gambling harm its operations will cause, and we are fearful that the NSW government will not put in place strong enough measures to protect people, their families and communities across the state."
Wesley Mission general manager Jim Wackett said he had no confidence in Crown's commitment to minimising gambling harm.
"Crown Sydney is pitched as an 'exclusive high roller' venue, but with minimum table game bets starting from as low as $20, the casino will be accessible to many more people than they imply, increasing harm to the community," he said.
"It is just another example of why we can't trust Crown to administer their products in a way that protects the community.
"To be clear, there's nothing exclusive about gambling harm - it affects high rollers to everyday punters, and we see the full impact on individuals and families through the services we provide."
NCOSS chief executive Joanna Quilty said more needed to be done to address the scourge of gambling.
"Problem gambling destroys individuals, families and communities, and it's often the social services sector that is left to pick up the pieces," she said.
Crown's conditional period, which will run for 18 to 24 months, will allow the LGA to monitor changes made at Crown Sydney.
The once-listed Crown has been taken private by US investment firm Blackstone after a successful $8.9 billion takeover was ticked off in June.
Other
More than 18 months after the launch of non-gaming operations, Crown Resorts will open the casino at its AU$2.2 billion (US$1.6 billion) Crown Sydney development today.
The VIP-only casino will set over two high-end VIP gaming rooms – the Crystal Room and Mahogany Room – with 12 additional exclusive private Sky Salons located on levels 28 and 29. The facilities feature approximately 160 gaming tables and 70 electronic table games, as well as premium dining options and outdoor terrace areas for members.
However, only the Crystal Room will welcome guests today with Mahogany Room to open at a later date.
The long-waited launch of Crown Sydney’s casino comes some time after non-gaming operations commenced in December 2020, with Crown Resorts having been found unsuitable to hold a NSW casino license following the Bergin inquiry.
The company since undergone a substantial corporate makeover, prompting the NSW Liquor and Gambling Authority to recently issue Crown with a conditional license which it said would give the regulator additional time to monitor the final phase of Crown’s restricted gaming licence suitability assessment.
Crown Sydney CEO Simon McGrath said the property’s casino “sets a new standard in luxury and elegance – from the design of the room to the overall member experience. The salon floors are flooded with natural light to highlight our unparalleled waterfront views, while the finishes and furnishings are of the highest quality and standard.”

‘Huge step forward’: Government clears way for The Star Sydney’s luxury tower
The Star Sydney is gearing up for the development of a six-star Pyrmont hotel and entertainment precinct after the NSW Government last week cleared the way for the proposed site.
As part of a 20-year framework to revitalise the Pyrmont area and drive visitation, the state government has made changes to planning rules that will allow The Star to enter a development application and approvals process to build a 105-metre hotel, new theatres and a rooftop dining area.
The Star Sydney’s recently-appointed CEO, Scott Wharton, welcomed the decision saying it supports The Star’s ambition to become ‘Australia’s leading tourism and entertainment destination’.
“It represents a huge step forward to eventually realising what have been long held ambitions to increase our tourism and entertainment offerings while creating jobs and delivering other significant economic and community benefits,” Wharton said in a post on Linkedin.
“This means that The Star could in the future with the necessary approvals add a new luxury hotel – it would be the property’s fourth – to its suite of award-wining accommodation offerings, expand its dining portfolio with rooftop dining experiences and additional theatres to complement the Sydney Lyric Theatre.”
Wharton believes that the addition of these new entertainment venues will draw more visitors to the city and help support the arts industry’s COVID recovery.
“Not only would a buzzing theatre precinct such as this be a wonderful asset for Sydney, attracting both international and local productions and advancing the city’s vibrant arts and culture scene, it would also act as a catalyst to create more jobs and further support the state’s tourism sector,” he said.
In 2020, The Star’s hotel proposal was evaluated to be aligned with the strategic intent of the Pyrmont Peninsula Place Strategy, subject to certain requirements, including a maximum height of 105 metres so that it would not overshadow public and open spaces.
During public consultation, government found that business and industry groups mostly supported The Star’s hotel proposal and the economic opportunities it could bring, while many residents and community groups objected due to concerns around building height, overshadowing and wind impacts.
On announcing the planning changes that will facilitate four major sites within the Pyrmont Peninsula, NSW Planning Minister Anthony Roberts recognised the ‘significant potential’ of the area and the economic opportunities that lie ahead as a result of new developments.
“We’re giving industry and the community the certainty they need to bring to life incredible new assets, including an Indigenous residential college at the University of Technology Sydney, and The Star’s planned six-star hotel which will be located next to a proposed new theatre, as well as new dining and retail spaces,” said Roberts.
“This milestone means we have completed the first stage of implementing our 20-year strategy, which aims to unlock 23,000 new jobs and 4,000 new homes for the area.”
The planning changes also support the introduction of two sites for the new Sydney Metro Station, one of which includes an integrated tower.
The Star is currently awaiting the findings from the Bell Review, an independent review of processes at The Star Casino, which are expected next month. The review considers how effectively The Star is complying with its statutory obligations and whether it remains suitable to hold a casino licence.

Media Man Bloggers: Aura Colors and What They Mean, According to Spiritual Experts
Aura Colors and What They Mean, According to Spiritual Experts
Your spiritual energy shifts with your moods, so aura colors change like mood rings.
If you’re inclined to believe in spiritual forces, you already know that an aura is the invisible energy field that surrounds each of our bodies. Impacting this energy are our feelings and moods, so it is an ever-shifting entity.
And when we refer to aura colors, we mean the hues associated with those changing energy fields. Typically, our auras are a mix of multiple colors, with one more prominent than the rest.
"Our bodies emit energetic frequencies — that’s why you can feel good vibes," explain the twins Emily and Jessica Leung, healers who go by Love Twintuitives. "We are all literally walking mood rings. A person may have a more inherent base aura color based upon their personality, but it’s a snapshot of the moment of your emotional state."
Spiritual expert Audrey Hope adds, "An aura is the vibration we are at, kind of like a sound octave or a musical note. Our auras change at different times depending on our spiritual level, our feelings, our traumas, and what we are giving out to the world."
She explains that each chakra wheel in our body is associated with a unique color. Starting at the root chakra, these colors go from red, to orange, to yellow, to green, to blue, to indigo, to violet.
“If we are sad or depressed, there will be darker colors on our aura readings,” she explains. “If we are living in a shiny, light framework, then golden light will be felt by all who come in contact.”
How to find your aura color
To figure out your own aura color, you can seek a spiritual advisor who will interpret your aura in the process of a reading. You can also take a photograph that will reveal your aura colors, with a special camera known as a Kirlian camera, Hope says.
Ahead, here’s a deeper look into the meaning of aura colors across the rainbow to help guide you as you explore your spiritual journey.
Aura colors and their meanings:
Red
As Hope notes, red is the color of the root chakra, which pertains to the way our physical bodies connect to the physical realm around us. People with this dominant aura color are fearless and bold, with a natural inclination to enjoy life in the form of adventures and experiences in their physical space.
People with red-dominant auras don't typically fear "death, birth, over-indulgence, sensuality, or adrenaline-inducing activities," according to Aura Aura, the platform for Detroit-based conceptual artist and energetics researcher Eileen Lee. Red-dominant people are typically bold, passionate, and not inclined to deny physical pleasures.
The presence of murky or dark red within an aura can suggest ongoing frustration, trauma, or burnout.
Pink
Lighter pink, which corresponds to the heart chakra, is rarer among aura colors. It's generally associated with people who are tender, kind, sensitive, and gentle with others. Pink-dominant people are committed to notions about romantic love, and focus on sustaining these sparks in their relationships. These people are likelier to work in creative fields. They have a soothing, healing way about them that naturally comforts others.
Magenta
People with magenta-dominant auras tend to be unique and free spirited. Since this color combines red and blue, it corresponds to people who are both rooted in the physical realm (like red-dominant people) and also have the capacity for highly intuitive thinking (like blue), according to Aura Aura. Because of this blend, magenta people are often engaged in creative pursuits or professions. It’s an aura color associated with nonconformists — people who stay true to their own ideals and passions without distractions from others' opinions.
"The highest chakra is our spiritual connection to the highest source energy, the universe, the spirit," Love Twintuitives explain. "If a person has a strong magenta aura, they are masters of spirituality."
Orange
Associated with the sacral chakra is the aura color orange. This color connects with creative and sensual energy, and an orange-dominant person holds relationships in highest regard, prioritizing them and developing them easily. These people are natural collaborators and find pleasure and comfort in connection. These people might be world travelers or adventure seekers, imbued with dynamism, wanderlust, and energy. "If people have a strong orange aura, they are gifted creatives who are passionate about their art," say Love Twintuitives.
Murky orange can mean an imbalance that stifles self expression.
Yellow
Yellow is associated with the solar plexus chakra, and people with this as their dominant aura color tend to be self assured and confident. This naturally high self esteem contributes both to happiness as well as to leadership abilities, with infectious positivity and motivational charisma. Like the sun, these people glow with both joy and warmth.
A darker or murkier yellow aura could mean a tendency toward either self criticism or overconfidence, on the other side of the spectrum — a result of “operating too much from our ego-driven self,” according to Aura Aura.
Green
Green is connected with the heart chakra. Accordingly, people who have green-dominant auras exude peace and love without conditions. These people have healing energy, and are naturally well inclined to heal themselves. "People with strong green auras are powerful healers and nurturers," say Love Twintuitives.
This color represents people who are energetically well balanced, making time for both ambition as well as other people.
If a person’s green aura is dark or murky, it might indicate feelings of jealousy or victimhood.
Blue
Lighter blue aura is connected with the throat chakra, and the lighter the blue shade the more calm the energy. A person whose aura is dominated by this shade is naturally philosophical, expressive, and inclined to communicate transparently. Typically, these people are inclined to express these truths from a place of feelings, versus facts. "These expressive dreamers place a great importance on personal relationships. Honesty and clarity in communication is very important to them," according to Aura Aura. "They love to gather and share wisdom and make great philosophers."
Indigo
The darker blue shade known as indigo is associated with the third-eye chakra. People with indigo auras are especially intuitive. "If a person has a strong indigo aura, they are highly intuitively connected and supernaturally psychically gifted seers," Love Twintuitives say. They are empathetic, and are moved to act more by feelings than facts. They are spontaneous and thrive on connection.
Dark or murky indigo can suggest a break from intuition or a phase marked by judgment. "The third eye blinded would have severe emotional and mental instability," Love Twintuitives say.
Purple
Purple, or violet, is associated with the crown chakra. As such, it connects to dreams as well as higher consciousness. People with auras in this color have strong personalities, possessing a personal magnetism, ambition, and a natural leadership quality. They are driven by the pull to act on their larger purpose. Candid communicators, they thrive on connection. "If a person has a strong purple aura, they are intuitively divinely connected," Love Twintuitives say.
White
Connected with the soul chakra, white is the aura color associated with only a small number of people: those who have “transcended the limitations of the physical realm,” according to Aura Aura, which estimates there might be just a few of these people alive. They have no issues with their health or mental energy. It's the color of compassion and unconditional love.
"Angels look like they have wings, but it’s actually their auras that humans perceive as wings," Love Twintuitives explain. "Likely why white is symbolic of angelic beings."
More common are people who have white among a collection of colors in their aura. Such indicates someone who’s in a particularly receptive and pure state.
When a white aura looks cloudy, it could suggest a person in a state of waiting or seeking.
