In blogging, you need to follow some basic blog tips to increase your blog traffic.
Being a blogger, I know how much blog traffic means to each and every blogger. Blog traffic plays an important role for our blogs. Through this, we get to know what are we actually doing and how to create content for improving blog traffic.
Blog traffic helps in boosting your blog's ranking in the search engines and makes search engine optimization a breeze to boot. Let me introduce you to 10 valuable blogging basics for beginners that will help achieve this goal.
My Top 10 Basic Blog Tips To Increase Your Blog Traffic are –
1. Use WordPress –
When you are starting to blog, you should go for the best blogging platform that is WordPress. Why I am recommending WordPress to you is because of its many brilliant qualities.
WordPress is an open source blogging tool and content management system that is easy to use for building websites. It is not like HTML Coding and Dreamweaver in which one has to practice a lot for building a blog. Also, WordPress blogs fetch higher rankings on search engines than Tumblr, Google Blogger, Square Space and other platforms which leads to more traffic for your content.
2. Use Good SEO Plugins –
WordPress is SEO-friendly, easy to use and is the best platform for building informative portals. It has so many plug-ins that help you in easy optimization of your blog. You can use WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin for doing SEO. You can even buy a premium SEO plugin for better optimization of your blog. This will help you in getting good rankings for a particular keyword on Search Engine.
3. Use of fast loading theme –
Another blog tip that you need to follow is adding a professional theme on your WordPress blog. There are lots of themes available in WordPress. You can go for Swift Basic which is free, or you can go for Thesis or Genesis Frameworks which are paid. I am suggesting you to go with these themes because they have more features and they take less time to load the page. People and search engines love sites that loads quicker than others.
4. Customize 404 Error Pages –
You should customize 404 error pages in such a way that it looks appealing to your blog visitor in case your visitor gets it. If a person gets a 404 error page then he/she should click on another link in your blog instead of closing your blog's window and searching for other site. This will help in decreasing the bounce rate of your blog and prevent you from losing precious traffic.
5. Add Share buttons to your blog post –
There are so many social sharing plugins available on WordPress. Currently, I am using AddToAny Plugin on my blog. Your blog readers will never share the blog posts on social networks if you don't add social sharing buttons on your blog. Social sharing buttons improve blog traffic and they can even increase your blog's search ranking.
Bonus Tip: Ms. Ileane can help you Install the Digg Digg Plugin [Video] which she uses here on Basic Blog Tips
You should also join and become active on social sharing sites like Triberr, Social Buzz Club or Viral Content Buzz.
6. Install Google Analytics to track blog traffic –
When you start to blog, you should install Google Analytics to see the performance of your blog stats. You can sign in easily on Google Analytics using your Gmail ID. Through your Google Analytics reports, you can see where visitors are landing on your blog and also from where they are coming. You can see which keywords are doing good for your blog and you can target that particular audience.
Google Analytics has so many features and is considered as the best tool for getting to know more about the source of traffic coming to your blog and you can also track conversions. So, you should see the flow of your blog's traffic in detail and schedule blog posts accordingly. Connect your Google Analytic account to Google Webmaster Tools for even more insights about your traffic.
7. Content is king –
Blogging 101: without content, you can't do anything in blogging. If you want to make your blog popular, then you need to produce quality content every time you publish the post. When you are new to blogging basics you'll find that, writing quality blog posts is not an easy task. It requires good writing skills and you must have good knowledge and expertise on a particular topic.
This will help your readers to gain a better understanding of your topic. And people will be coming back to your blog which is a positive sign and a sure way to increase traffic. Don't forget to create content in various formats outside of blogging. Make use of sites like YouTube to build your authority and your email list too.
8. Keyword Research –
Keyword research is one of the most essential technique in the search engine marketing. This can help your blog to gain more organic traffic from search engines. People do search for those terms that comes first in the "Google Search Suggestion". If you add those keywords for your blog posts, then you can get more blog traffic than normal. You can check the keyword popularity on the Google AdWords Keyword Planner
These tools will give information about monthly searches of each and every term and you can put accordingly. This will help you in getting right kind of visitors or targeted traffic on your site.
9. Guest Posting –
Guest posting is the most brilliant way to drive traffic from other blogs. You can write on some popular blogs for increasing your blog traffic. In real estate, location matters a lot to a buyer. Similarly, the location of your content matters as well. If your blog post gets accepted on a popular blog, then you will be getting familiar with new people. This will help you gain authority and thus your blog traffic will increase.
Same way, you should also accept guest posts on your blog. The writer will be sharing that blog post on his/her social networks and you will be meeting new blog visitors.
10. Blog Commenting –
The last but not least, it is blog commenting. There are lots of benefits of daily blog commenting. You should comment on different blogs of the same niche for getting more blog visitors. Also, try to leave the first comment on other's blog posts. People do check out the blog of the first commentator. This is what I have experienced personally and helps me get lots more traffic.
These are a few the basic blog tips I use to increase blog traffic, can you think of any?
Video Transcript for the Digg Digg Plugin Tutorial:
Hey guys it's Ileane from Basic Blog Tips.com
We're going to talk about a plugin today and this one is a plugin for WordPress that's called Digg Digg
Let me just show you and this is a hugely popular post friend Ryan Hanley at RyanHanley.com
and it was called Share Button Versus Like Button for Best Facebook Exposure.
I gotta admit i'm showing off a little bit here because this is the Digg Digg share bar and I just so happen to have I'd say a few hundred shares and likes on this particular posts. So I wanted to show you how to install this plugin and how to have that sharing bar float.
The reason why I like to have it float is because I get a lot of comments on my blog. For example in this particular post I have a hundred thirty comments. So if someone has to add a new comment when they're all the way here at the bottom of this post they will still be able to share it, Tweet it or give it a +1 on Google.
I wanted to do this tutorial for quite some time but today it got… my memory was jogged because someone asked me to take a look at their blog and actually I think this is a very nice-looking blog. Only one problem this toolbar the sharing toolbar for Digg Digg is WAY over too far on top of their content and their featured post. So I said hey your website looks great but your Digg Digg Share bar needs to be moved over. Just go to your settings page and tada!
He did it! Now I'm gonna show you how to do that as [well].
Okay let's swing over, now we're on the back end of my blog and before i go any further i have to give a shout out to our friends who actually uh…took ownership of this plugin and that's Leo and Joel they are the owners of Buffer. And they purchased Digg Digg earlier this year, and since they've been behind the helm they've made a lot of changes that are really really positive. Once you install the plugin you'll find it over on your menu on the side and you're going to see different modules and the first one is the Global Configuration.
It's pretty simple – the number one thing you have to do on this page is to add to your twitter name, and add your Buffer name okay if you have these other services like Flattr or if you're gonna use Tweet meme (which we're not going to) or Topsy – then you want to go ahead and put your username in there as well!
Now Normal Display let me explain the difference – Normal Display just means that your sharing buttons will be spread out horizontally across the page as opposed to the vertical floating bar which I showed you I'm using.
So we're gonna skip the normal display because you don't need to have both normal and floating setup. You only need to decide which one you're going to use and then you'll do the settings accordingly. Okay,so we're going to use the floating displaying some let's go and to that okay the very first thing – DON'T skip this box 'cause it's very important! It's the status you're going to let the plugin know that –
Yes – you are using the floating display you must check this box. Then you can decide here whether you want it to be on posts, pages categories so forth. Personally I just like for to be on posts but if you wanted to show up on your home page, just like the example I showed you it is showing up on his home page.
Personally I didn't want them on my home page so I left that off. I only want it to show up on posts I really don't want people to share my home page I'd rather for them to share specific posts. You can alyways test things if you say to yourself "No I want them to share my home page." Then go ahead, check it off you know it's up to you. So, this is the part that I explained to my friend that he needed to change.
How far from the left is the Digg Digg placed.
Well if we go back over to my blog you'll see here's the left and this is thirty-nine pixels from the left. The next setting has to do with how far from the top do you want the floating bar to start floating. Now let's take this back up to the top of the page and it looks like the top of the post starts probably right around underneath where it says this is a guest post.
And then it starts to float. And as you can see if floats all the way down as I mentioned earlier we want to make sure that when people are leaving comments that they have those sharing tools handy. So that's the next setting, let the Digg Digg bar float past the end of the post and yes we want that. Now, here's where you're going to choose which sharing options you want to appear on that bar and all the weight means is the one with the highest number is it going to be on top.
So therefore I have GOOGLE PLUS there and if you look at the bar the first thing there is the Google plus one! And then I have Facebook Like next see I have it checked but it also has to be checked off and then I have Twitter and then I have Blog Engage.
Ok you have a whole host of other options here. I've actually tested some of those you can have the Digg sharing bar there you can have Buffer – and right now I'm testing it with Buffer being off but I've toggled back-and-forth. Sometimes if you give people too many options they don't do anything so these are the core ones I them to do. I'd rather them go ahead and Tweet it now and it's been effective in some cases. I know other people like to Buffer but my feeling is this:
I'm a Buffer user I love Buffer so what I to is I have the Buffer extension install up in my toolbar. So when I'm on people's blogs I'd probably would rarely every use the Buffer sharing over and the Digg Digg toolbar.
That's just me. So like I said, you have to test, you have to know your audience, and know|which one will get the most use. And you'll know because you'll see the numbers you'll see the counts. For example here's another more recent post this was actually just published yesterday. And so I have a fair number of Tweets and Likes. So you know, like I said you will test to see what works for your audience.
Any of these other buttons, if you don't have, because of your theme, it doesn't displaythe number of comments you have maybe this is the opportunity where you want to display that as well. Now I don't do the lazy loading and I'm not going to cover that in this video – you could go ahead and test it. The main things that I wanted to go over with you is your options for whether it's going to appear on the posts or pages and also whether you're going to float, how far you're gonna float it, if you can use the normal display or at the floating display. Now if you have feedback these guys Joel and Leo they're very responsive you see that they even have a feedback button there.
So go ahead I urge any blogger, even if you are not personally active on social media, people will come to your blog especially when it comes to Facebook. If they have that option there they can just click that and give that post a like this is also going to share it for you. You can post that right on Facebook. I'll do it now just to show you how quickly it works and you always want to have to sharing options available for any visitors that come to your blog or your website So that's it for today.
And, hey do me a favor and you're over on my YouTube channel hit, that subscribe button right up on the top right now we are so close to eight hundred subscribers we have seven hundred seventy eight subscribers and we're almost as seventy thousand views thanks to everyone who has been supporting and watching the videos and giving the thumbs up Okay I'll talk to you guys soon. Once again it's Ileane BasicBlogTips.com
Talk to you soon.

Yesterday, Google announced their new Google Analytics tag to speed up page loads that will become the default code snippet provided for profiles. This is right in line with Google's new obsession with page speed.
While the new Google Analytics tag is very light, if you start to add a lot of scripts to a site like I do, they start to add up. Allowing for the asynchronous loading (separate processing) of the tag your webpages will load that much faster and therefore the code snippet will not penalize your site speed nor your visitor's experience.
I recommend you go back to all of your Google Analytics-tagged pages and change them out to this new snippet. Likewise, you really need to look into the load times of your webpages. It could be hurting your rankings.

News of three sexual attacks in Valley Stream and Lynbrook sent fear through those communities as Nassau police awaited results of forensic testing to determine if one man committed the assaults.
Some residents also questioned why police had not told the public sooner about the Aug. 12 sexual assaults in Lynbrook and Valley Stream.
Nassau police first reported the two Aug. 12 sexual assaults on Wednesday afternoon. Police said they were investigating the possibility that the two attacks were related to the Sunday morning rape of a 60-year-old woman in Valley Stream State Park.
"It's a wake-up call," said Mary Harrison, 51, of Franklin Square, who was walking in the park with her friend Thursday afternoon. "Women need to know. Maybe that woman who got raped wouldn't have walked by herself if she knew about the other attacks."
No arrests have been made, but police have stepped up patrols and used undercover officers in the areas where the attacks occurred, distributing fliers with a sketch of the rape suspect.
Nassau police Insp. Kenneth Lack said in a statement that the department has deployed its Special Victims Squad, Bureau of Special Operations and patrol officers, and is working with other law enforcement agencies to apprehend "this individual," referring to the rapist.
"There is a possibility the three cases are connected and we are awaiting forensic testing to determine if the same suspect is involved," Lack said. The decision to publicize the possible link to Sunday's rape was made "as the investigation progressed" and the public's assistance was sought to help find the suspect, he said.
The first attack occurred Aug. 12 about 8:45 p.m. when a man on a bike and with a thin build, standing about 5-foot-8, forced his way into 58-year-old woman's house, police said. He grabbed her in an "inappropriate manner," and tried to take off her pants and choked her. The suspect fled on his bike when the victim called out for help, alerting a neighbor, who called police.
Twenty minutes later, police said, a 30-year-old woman was walking southbound on Mill Road from the train station when a similar-looking male on a bike grabbed the woman's buttocks. He tried to rip off her shirt and pin her to the ground, but she fought him off and he fled on his bike.
Dorothy Sanchez, 54, of Lynbrook, said she was shocked to hear about the rape and other attacks, as she walked along a trail in the park Thursday.
"I always thought it was the perfect place," said Sanchez, a teacher. "To me, it was always so safe. Now I won't wear my headset."
Subeg Singh, who lives near the park entrance, said police knocked on his door Monday morning, with a flier bearing a sketch of the rape suspect.
"After this happened, I see a lot" of police, said Singh, 37, a cabdriver. "Before this happened, I don't see any."
Singh said he frequents the park with his wife and two daughters, ages 7 and 5. But now, he said, "We don't even want to think about going. We pay a lot of taxes, we should have better service."
At the Valley Stream Long Island Rail Road station, near where one of the sexual assaults occurred, women said they were shocked and unnerved.
"Now I have to be afraid to walk to the train," said Dina Branco, 28, of Valley Stream.
Tara Bernard, who grew up in the Gibson area of Valley Stream and had arrived at the station Thursday to spend the day with her mother before returning home to Manhattan, said she was surprised.
"It's very scary when something that horrific happens right in your backyard," said Bernard, 33, a speech pathologist.

Recently, St. Olaf was mentioned in a New York Times article! But sadly, not for the right reasons.
Microaggression has been most commonly defined by Columbia professor Derald Sue as "brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative racial slights and insults toward people of color." Sadly, our campus has seen many instances of microaggression this past year. Allison's post brought up the incident that happened on Cinco de Mayo, so I won't go into that one, but what about the other instances that have gone around relatively unaddressed?
The problem here at Olaf isn't necessarily a lack of care, but rather one of action. There have been a few important student movements around campus, such as the Enough! campaign, and this week's AuthenticOles.
Enough! describes their movement on their Facebook page as:
We are a group of concerned, committed students and allies ready to take action on campus in response to the reoccurring hate crimes that have hurt and marginalized a significant portion of the St. Olaf community. Change MUST happen – we will make it.
Their letter to President David Anderson called for an end to these circumstances on campus, with specific and upsetting occurrences from this past year:
The phrase "What's up with all the niggers?" written on a poster in Rand residence hall
The vandalism of the Sexual Assault Resource Network's hallway in which the "not" sign from a series of posters reading "Rape, that's not funny." was torn down three separate times
The manipulation of an Oles for Justice in Palestine informational poster which read "Death in Gaza" to read "Death TO Gaza"
The theft of two Palestinian flags from the Oles for Justice in Palestine awareness hallway
The recurring theft of rainbow flags from the St. Olaf Queer Support and Outreach honor houseAnd lastly, all of the incidents and micro-aggressions that go unreported on a daily basis.
PDA's response wasn't very helpful. He addressed the problem only by acknowledging there was one, and reminded students of the school mission statement.
We have an opportunity and obligation to re-affirm our values, to re-assert our expectations of one another, and to re-examine the practices and programs with which we teach and reinforce those values and expectations.
The AuthenticOles movement had Story Telling, where they wanted to get fellow Oles to share their experiences here. "If you are a person of color, queer, low-income, struggling with body image or a mental illness, you have a story. If you are none of those but want to know more you are invited, too. Let's stand together in solidarity, Oles. We are AuthenticOles." Cynthia Zapata, a student involved with the group, explained what the purpose and goal are:
Authentic Oles was based on stories. We, as Oles, are not able to fit the mold that has been made by the structure, but so many people think that we do. Our whole idea was to have a conversation, to give a safe place for students to tell their stories. If people know that the reality they perceive is not actually what is, they can no longer ignore it. People have been "unveiled."
This is a institutional problem. And administration and students keep throwing band-aids on it when the problem isn't a wound, it's a broken bone. Authentic Oles was not about fixing this. The first step in fixing the structure is to fight ignorance with knowledge. When people are aware of the structure and how they play as agents in it, they can become more active in changing it.
St. Olaf is supposed to be accepting and a place of welcoming. The population here is inspiring, talented, overachieving, and intelligent. So why do we keep having the same conversation? The students here don't seem like the type to be disrespectful and so insensitive, yet that's where we are. Am I missing something here? With so many steps to encourage students to get involved and take a stand, why do these incidents still happen? I thought St. Olaf would have been better at responding to these events, and that administration would give some more concrete answers as opposed to vague statements. Hopefully these microaggressions will stop with the coming year, or maybe we just have to learn how to become for active for different voices.
Examples of Microaggression:

Signature Lines on Weight Loss Websites
A reader recently wrote to ask why I don't include my weight statistics in my signature line. A great observation and excellent question.
Typically in on-line weight loss communities a signature is written with starting weight/current weight/target weight - so for me that would be (287/146/140). For a long time after WLS I did carry the weight stats on my signature line - it was part of who I was and a measure of progress.
But the day came when I didn't want to be measured by those numbers any longer. I wanted to be about more than being fat and losing weight.
To this day, one of the most difficult things for me to hear is, "I heard you used to be really REALLY huge!" Ouch! I also used to be a newspaper editor and I am accomplished pianist, yet somehow that never gets mentioned. It seems, however, there are plenty of people around to remind me that I used to be really REALLY huge.
So one day unannounced I dropped the weight stats from my signature line. It was time to move forward from defining myself as a person who used to be really REALLY huge. Certainly I have not forgotten that person and I am humbled today by my small size and my good health. I am proud of my weight loss. But I don't need the numbers on my signature line to define or remind me anymore.
I don't object to others using the signature stats and applaud each pound that is lost in this after WLS living. But I submit that one day others, when the time is right, will say goodbye to the weight stats in the signature line - moving forward and onward in new and better lives.
Today my signature line reads, "Welcome to Your New Life: You have Arrived." And that's how I feel each and every new day when I wake in my healthy, trim and fit body. "I have arrived". This motto is the name of the official Living After WLS newsletter: "You Have Arrived" because that's what we are celebrating. My wish for all WLS patients is to wake with the fabulous feeling "I Have Arrived."

Or at least, according to what Wilson said on Monday, he could throw a baseball right now but just doesn't want to risk further injury. (Which doesn't exactly mean the same thing, but, hey, it's Brian Wilson. What did you expect?)
"If you're asking me if I could throw today, the answer is yes," Wilson told Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle. "But there's no point throwing today on March 21 in the scheme of things. That's not what we're preparing for. The last thing I want to do is get three more appearances in (in spring training), which don't mean a whole lot. The worst thing that can happen is a tear, which is not worth missing the entire season for."
Wilson also made an analogy -- "It's like trying to be a public speaker with strep throat. You can speak but what's the point?" -- that doesn't really provide any reasonable information about his injury.
And he dropped some sarcasm about his presence on the roster -- "As far as making the team, there's a good chance I'll be there. I'll be dressing. Timmy will be starting. If they call me, I'll be warming up." -- that, again, doesn't provide any worthwhile information that should make Giants' fans feel better.
The reality of Wilson's situation is this: he has a strained oblique muscle, and there's no logical process that gets him on the field before he's properly healed. The Giants are coming off a World Series-winning season and Wilson is coming off an absolute monster (1.81 ERA, 1.28 WHIP, 48 saves) of a season.
Rushing him back onto the mound just so he can pitch by the time the season starts makes little-to-no sense from either his or the team's perspective.
Unless of course the point of getting him in the bullpen is to keep him as far away from Charlie Sheen -- lest we forget, the two have been kicking it in the off-season -- as possible. Then the potential downside (awesome Vatican assassinations, Major League III getting green-lit) vastly outweighs the simple nightmare that is a season-ending injury.

Spring Break in LA — Such Fun! A strange mixture of auditions laced in with tourism. Bex did the auditions. The rest of us played tourist. Occasionally Bex graced us with her presence… but I guess that's Hollywood!
While we spent an afternoon in Beverly Hills, watched an evening Sunset at the Observatory in Griffith Park, went to a live rehearsal for "Victorious," or walked the stars at Grauman's Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd, Bex joined us when she could. A few late season auditions came in, so frankly — she had work to do!

East 125th Street and Park Avenue may be East Harlem's best-known crossroads, and one of its most forlorn.
A busy stop for commuter trains, the intersection is marred with rundown buildings and lifeless lots that serve as discouraging reminders of development plans gone awry or never realized.
Now, though, another proposal has surfaced for one corner there that, if realized, would bring an ambitious mixed-use complex.
At the same time, plans for major new office and apartment buildings appear to be going forward on two other corners, a sign that the struggling area might be getting the attention lavished in recent years on West Harlem.
"It was always, 'The west was the best, and the east was the beast,' " said Holley Drakeford, an associate broker with Giscombe Realty Group, whose offices are situated at that prominent corner, in one of the few buildings not targeted for redevelopment.
"But now everything around here is going berserk," said Mr. Drakeford, who is not involved with the nearby projects.
Waterbridge Capital, a development firm, is the latest to float a proposal for part of this hub, one involving five contiguous properties on the southeastern corner of the intersection, for $37 million, according to brokers involved with the deal, which is expected to close this winter.
The firm's plan is to demolish the low-slung stores and hotel on the sites, which wrap around to 124th Street, and replace them with a 210,000-square-foot high-rise with retail space and apartments, brokers say.
Waterbridge is seeking a single big-box-style retailer for the retail space, which would total 67,000 square feet and span several floors, though the design has not been completed, according to Lenny Sporn, a Douglas Elliman broker who represented both the buyer and sellers of the parcels. A spokeswoman for Waterbridge said the firm had no comment.
In general, asking rents on this stretch of 125th Street start at $150 a square foot, according to Mr. Drakeford, who noted that the block the Waterbridge project would be on is bookended by the Metro-North station and a stop for the 4, 5 and 6 subway lines.
Waterbridge is considering a couple of options for the residential portion. One would create 160 luxury condos in the building, which under current zoning could rise to about 16 stories. Some local officials at the neighborhood Community Board 11, though, are seeking even greater heights along that part of Park Avenue, which has a viaduct for Metro-North trains running down its middle.
Under the second option, the building would feature rental apartments, in the form of so-called microunits, each less than 400 square feet, Mr. Sporn said.
Although there are many low-income residents in the neighborhood, Waterbridge has not yet indicated exactly how many of its apartments might be affordable housing, though Mr. Sporn said they would "most likely" be included. And developments in the neighborhood, like so many others, can become quite controversial if longtime residents are pushed aside through gentrification.
It is also unclear how Waterbridge would work around an empty city-owned lot on Park Avenue that is in the middle of these parcels but not included in them. A spokeswoman for the city's Department of Housing Preservation and Development, which controls the property, did not comment.
But the project's supporters do not seem to be worried about the success of the project, whether measured by shoppers or residents. "This area has become safer and cleaner," Mr. Sporn said, "and I think people are feeling a lot more comfortable there."
While one project may not be enough to reverse the area's fortunes, it is arriving hand-in-hand with others that together could create a strikingly new look and feel for a neglected area.
On the other side of the railroad tracks, in a project that is somewhat of a mirror image of the Waterbridge proposal, the developer Continuum Company plans to break ground in the middle of 2014 on its own mixed-use complex, with retailing on the sidewalk level and a tower of apartments atop it, said a spokesman, David Wachsman.
Located on a blocklong site at the southwestern corner, and currently vacant and fenced in, the 32-story project is meant to create 613,000 square feet of housing, some of which will be affordable, as well as 63,000 square feet of stores, Mr. Wachsman said.
The site has seen grand dreams before. Before the depths of the recession, Vornado Realty Trust had planned an office tower there for Major League Baseball's cable network, as well as other tenants, but sold the property to Continuum last spring for $66 million, records show.
And it wasn't the first large-scale proposal to fizzle. Previously, in the early 2000s, a mixed-use development called Harlem Park, anchored by a Marriott hotel, actually got as far as the groundbreaking stage.
Hopes have also been occasionally dashed across the street as well, at the historic brick structure known as the Corn Exchange, which last decade was supposed to install a culinary school. The city has owned the crumbling 19th-century Romanesque former bank on and off since the 1970s, when it was seized for nonpayment of taxes.
Now, however, Artimus, a developer active in Harlem, is building a six-story, 31,000-square-foot mixed-use building there, tucked in the ruins of the former bank, that will likely have a restaurant and a bank at its base and offices along the tracks, according to a source close to the project. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2014, the source said.
Other changes are afoot on the sidewalk level. This summer saw the incorporation of the New Harlem East Merchants Association, which sweeps streets from Fifth to Second avenues; that area is not covered by a business improvement district, like the kind so prevalent in other parts of Manhattan and on much of 125th Street.
The city is also weighing a plan to permanently spruce up the plaza and other public spaces under the Metro-North viaduct, which casts shadows on the street and thunders with trains.
While making spaces prettier would seem to be a common goal, it remains unknown how the tenants of the buildings on Waterbridge's sites will react to the possibility that their places of business could be razed.
Those tenants include a 24-hour deli, whose sign is surrounded with blinking colored lights; a pawnshop; and a salon called Maria's African Hair Braiding. There's also the Park Avenue Hotel, a rundown four-story tenement-style building where cans of food can be seen stacked in a window.
But some locals are eager for change.
On a recent morning, Shania Abrams, a student and East Harlem resident, was waiting in the salon for a weave. "I will be heartbroken if this place closes," she said. But she also said the community needed the jobs new business could provide, and added that she often felt unsafe walking home down Park Avenue at night. Anything that added people, and life, to the streets, would be welcome. "This will be good for Harlem," she said.

The research forecasts that equities will appreciate by about 5% in 2014, depending on corporate performance.
The U.S. large-cap Russell 1000 Index will reach 1,060 while the S&P 500 Index will hit 1,900 by year-end 2014, according to a new report from Russell Investments. The Russell 1000 (RUI) closed Wednesday at 1,024.99 and the S&P closed at 1,837.49.
The research predicts that global equities will outperform cash and fixed income assets in 2014, but the paper warns of "risky scenarios" that investors need to be on guard against.
"One [scenario] is that global equity markets move into speculative overdrive," the report states. "Asset markets have a history of overshooting, and global equity markets could become outright expensive if confidence in the economic outlook takes hold.
"The alternative scenario is that economic growth disappoints and investors conclude that monetary policy has reached its limits," the report adds.
The research forecasts that equities will appreciate by about 5% in 2014, depending on corporate performance. Concurrent with the rising equity valuations, nominal gross domestic product is expected to increase by 4.6%, up from 3.2% in 2013.
Additionally, the report anticipates the economy will generate 230,000 jobs per month, a number above that of the "Blue Chip consensus" of 194,000 jobs.
Among the report's additional forecasts for the U.S.:
- Inflation will remain low at 1.9%;
- The U.S. Federal Reserve's tapering will begin in the first half of the year, but the Federal funds rate will not rise until 2015;
- U.S. 10-year Treasury yields will hit 3.2% by year-end;
- Single-digit growth in corporate earnings will drive U.S. equity returns. Price-earnings (P/E) multiples will remain broadly unchanged.
Turning to Europe, the report forecasts a "modest" recovery in consumer demand in tandem with reduced budgetary austerity and continuing strength in trade that could yield a growth rate of 0.5% to 1%.
"We believe 2014 will be a year to remain invested, but not just to buy and hold," the report states. "With respect to bond yields, we think the core countries will participate in the risking rate environment of the developed world, however, at a slower pace because of lackluster growth and low inflation."

Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things, that are decisive.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - An Ashe County nurse is gaining national attention after she was captured on video climbing a cliff so she can make it to work and help deliver two babies.
Monday's storm washed out the only road into town, but that didn't stop Maggie McNeill.
"This has been the most bizarre day of my entire life," Maggie said with a laugh. "I don't really feel like I did anything that was that exceptional."
Of course, heroes rarely do.
Maggie's husband Todd recorded the video. In it, you can see Maggie scaling a cliff in the rain to get to N.C. 16.
"She's climbing a rock cliff to get up to the highway," Todd says in the video. "She's going to catch a ride into town and deliver Ashe County's two newest citizens."
"It was trickier than I had anticipated. To be honest, it was wet and slick and of all the leaves falling and rocks that were loose," Maggie told NBC Charlotte on Tuesday. "But I knew I had to get there."
"It is the nature of nursing," Maggie said. "There's not a time that you get a free card out and I don't think any of us really want it."

"Stopped by Dr. Curson's offer in intense pain and unable to walk more than ten steps. He diagnosed plantar fascitis and with the laser treatment and a cortisone shot, I was able to walk out of the office 30 minutes later. I had further laser treatments that minimized the pain, but he recommended a stem cell injection as a permanent solution and treatment. That was over a year ago and I have not had a single problem with my feet since that time. Dr. Curson has a very positive and professional demeanor which extends to his entire office staff. The follow up by his staff was exceptional. They do call and check on you after visits to be sure everything is working and to check on any problems. It is a rare "feel good" medical office experience. In addition Dr Curson is a lifelong resident of S. Florida and offers wonderful recommendations to other medical professionals in the area. I give him my highest recommendation."

Benefits and risks
Key Messages:
- Lower commission fees, increased accessibility, convenience and an increasing array of value-added services are some of the factors contributing to the rising popularity of online trading.
- However, investors should carefully consider the limitations and drawbacks of online trading platform before trading through this channel.
Advantages of online trading
Lower commission rates
A lower commission rate is often the biggest attraction to investors. Online brokerages usually charge lower commissions than traditional brokerages because online services involve lower operating costs.
Convenience and round-the-clock trading
Online trading is not restricted by the opening hours of the respective stock exchange. You can place your order globally wherever and whenever you like.
Quick execution
Fully automated from the instant you click "ENTER". The online order record also means fewer mistakes of the kind that can occur when an investor relays an order to an account executive verbally.
Value-added services
Services including real-time price quotes, market news, company information, market research and analytical tools are provided free or cheaply. The increasing availability of other brokerage-related services including margin financing and stock borrowing and lending also improves the flexibility of online investing.
Drawbacks of online trading
A major cause of investor frustration is outages and delays, which often happen during volatile markets and around the time for the market to open or close. These may result in investors losing market access and trading opportunities. These problems may arise from the brokerage's online system or the investor's internet service provider. A way to protect yourself is to find out what alternatives you have when online trading is temporarily unavailable because of a system failure.
Beware of hackers attempting to breach firewalls, passwords and other security measures to access confidential information. Before opening an account with an online brokerage, check what security measures are in place. These measures may include encryption and firewalls.
As an investor, you should pay attention to the following as well:
- Keep the unique password assigned by the online brokerages safe, change it regularly and do not disclose to anyone including your brokers. For additional protection, some brokerages may even require their clients to use an e-certificate for identity verification when they log on to the online trading system.
- Avoid entering a brokerage's website via links posted on search engines or other websites since bogus websites are prevalent. A better approach is to key in the website address carefully for the first time and bookmark it in your browser for future use.
- Bear in mind not to access your trading account via a public terminal as spyware or keystroke-logging software can be installed readily to steal your personal information.
Privacy issues include, amongst other problems, leakage of private information during the trading process and the unauthorised and illegitimate use of customer information. Under the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, the online trading service provider is obliged to protect your personal data. You can go to the website of the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data to learn more about your rights.
Information risk
Information technology is levelling the playing field for retail investors, giving them access to information previously available only to specialists or professionals. While more financial information is offered online, the accuracy and reliability of the information cannot be guaranteed. Just because it is broadcast online does not mean the information is credible. As investor you should be wary of potentially misleading statements, either intentional or unintentional.
When trading online, you rely more on your own investment and trading skills than when trading through traditional means. You must take full responsibility for the decision-making process and input of instruction since you are accountable for the content and timing of all orders placed. If you wish to withdraw or modify an instruction, the brokerage may try to do so, at discretion, provided that the transaction has not been executed. You will also be responsible for the costs incurred in any withdrawal or modification.
Familiarising yourself with the securities dealing process will help you avoid misunderstanding or holding unrealistic expectation.
If you give the account password to a third party, you will probably be held liable for the losses and consequences stemming from the unauthorized use.

Breaking Down the Brisnet Prime Power Rating
(Click on image to enlarge)
* Top prime power rating of 100 or greater.
(Click on image to enlarge)
(Click on image to enlarge)
(Click on image to enlarge)
This cool, thanks for sharing. Are these test limited to just dirt races? The score rate is supposed to go up to 60% when the difference is greater than 10 points in prime power.
It's for all races. Horses with a 10-point Prime Power advantage recorded the following stats:
Number: 744
Winners: 380
Win Rate: 51.1%
$2 Net Return: $1.80
Coming back within a month only marginally improved the stats, BTW.
Number: 8,490
Winners: 2,867
Win Rate: 33.8%
$2 Net Return: $1.73
Do you have any queries between the Prime Power and the odds the horses went off, or Prime Power and their beaten lengths?
For example, in the 10 point advantage Prime Power horses my guess is the average beaten lengths is 0 and odds are less than 1/1.
What about horses within 2 points of the Prime Power? What do they average in odds, and beaten lengths? If one could get a relationship on this one could structure a fairly effective oddsline.
How were you able to test these ideas/angles? Does Brisnet have some kind of software to backtest ideas or angles?
In races with a defenseless morning line or post-time top pick, search for a steed with a Brisnet Prime Power rating (of 125 or more noteworthy) that is positioned among the main two in the field. http://www.assignmentcorner.co.uk/assignment-writing-services

NHS staff who refuse to have the flu vaccine this winter will have to give reasons to their employer, as leaders make efforts to improve take-up rates| BMJ 2017; 359
NHS leaders are to write to all NHS staff urging them to be vaccinated against flu as soon as possible. The letter will make it clear that staff who refuse the vaccine will have to give reasons to their employing NHS trust, which will then be recorded.
The heads of NHS England, Public Health England, the Department of Health for England, and NHS Improvement said that they were writing to remind staff of their "professional duty to protect their patients." Trusts are also being urged to make the flu vaccine "readily available" to staff.
Although last year saw record take-up of the vaccine among staff, more than a third of NHS staff members did not take up the offer, with just a fifth being vaccinated in some trusts.
Hospitals and GP surgeries are being warned by NHS England to be prepared for a big increase in cases of flu this winter after a heavy season in the southern hemisphere.

When was the last time you had a really great discussion with someone?
You know the kind I mean – seriously good banter; a warm chat; an exchange of ideas or views; a tête-à-tête….
More…the kind of talk that comes with a cup of coffee or tea – maybe a beer or two – a walk around the block – a bench in the park – late night phone talk or a catch-up on a street corner with someone you bumped into and haven't seen in a while.
What do they all have in common?
For me they connote a sense of warmth; intimacy.
Also a blurring of time – you know that feeling – you stop to talk and then an hour goes by….
More…there is no limit to your words…you can say what you mean…dig deep for the right words…have no fear of, or price on, word count…
So when was the last time you had such an encounter and how was it?
Did you find it worth your while?
Did it help or hinder your relationship?
Would you do it again?
Let's be clear – I Facebook, Tweet and whatever, like the rest, and it's good – efficient, easy, gets to the core point (sometimes) and it connects me – but does it enhance my connectivity?
Devices connect – and we connect via those devices in ways we never imagined just a few years ago.
But connectivity is about people and emotion and depth – connectivity is the next step –
"Let us make a special effort to stop communicating with each other, so we can have some conversation."
Judith Martin (Miss Manners)
Conversation is connectivity. Communication is connection.
Love Facebook – but don't confuse those few lines of desultory comment or a "thumbs up" for connectivity. By the way, Facebook doesn't either – see Facebook Studio Awards…
Distinguishing between the two is a top priority for Facebook leadership:
Take a look at how Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg proudly defines what Facebook has become: "Less broadcasting, more conversations."
Or what Facebook's VP of Product Chris Cox suggests: "Don't think of each piece of a profile as a field of data, but rather connective tissue."
And see what others say too –
The Tech Elite from the Waldorf Schools, I've mentioned them in the past, say "Engagement is about human contact."
Being online means being connected but it doesn't necessarily mean connectivity.
Connection or Connectivity….
Communication or conversation….
It's up to you….
What do you think?

The romance, dangerous and erotic adventures continue from the short story in "Liaisons in Lingerie and Lust" through the narrative of Miranda as she leaves New York City for Paris in search of her love, Nicolette, the dominatrix and master of BDSM. The danger that follows threatens to tear them apart, but not before the fight of their lives.
Things go from bad to worse for them both, leaving Miranda unprepared in the ways of Nicolette's organization, Le Fraternite, as she leads us back to Paris in search of Nicolette, all the while avoiding the certainty of death from those who would stop them by any means necessary.

A classic is now available for free.
Posted By Ravi Sinha | On 16th, Aug. 2016 Under News
It's the middle of the month, which means certain Games With Gold titles on the Xbox One and Xbox 360 go out of circulation and others come in. Today, Beyond Good and Evil HD will be available free for Xbox 360 while WWE 2K16 will be available free on Xbox One.
Thanks to backwards compatibility for Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One, Beyond Good and Evil HD will also be available to Xbox One users.
Beyond Good and Evil HD is perhaps one of Ubisoft's most under-rated games, combining a great story with stealth and platforming. WWE 2K16, meanwhile, is yet another wrestling title from Visual Concepts and Yuke's that features animation glitches, wonky mechanics and…well, it doesn't really matter since you can make Daniel Bryan the champion of everything.
Don't worry, fans of Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate – it's still available for free until August 31st. What are your thoughts on the newest Games With Gold? Let us know below.

Thank you to Adam who pointed out we are in Staffordshire rather than Shropshire. It's nice to know where you are!
We left Brewood at 9.00am cruising north towards Wheaton Ashton. There is a long line of linear moorings on the offside leaving Brewood which culminates in a static caravan park by bridge 15 (Eskew Bridge).
Whilst it appeared to be well laid out I just can't see myself trading a small 'box' in the city for a 'box' in the country! But then it must appeal to a percentage of the population. I actually walked passed the park yesterday evening and noticed they sell Calor Gas. However you'd probably need a sack trolley because the depot is on the far side of the park.
The following interesting looking cottage was on the far side.
It's almost as if the vegetation is claiming it back. Some TLC is also required!
We passed very slowly over Streton Aqueduct to take photos of the busy A5 which passes underneath the canal.
There are some very shaded areas along this part of the canal which were a welcome relief from the heat. <suffer those of you in Oz or NZ>. The biggest problem was attempting to take a good photo whilst on the move.
The sole lock of the day was immediately prior to Wheaton Ashton. Jan went forward to assist the boat ahead and the lady on board reciprocated by raising a top gate paddle as she left to re-join her husband.
A hireboat then arrived behind us and the lady came forward to check the lock. To Jan's amusement she didn't bring a windlass. Eventually the penny dropped and she returned with a windlass helping Jan with the bottom gates. We moored on the water point just beyond the lock to fill the tank and whilst it was filling I went back to help the hireboat through the lock. Tank filled and we moved a short distance to Turners Garage (as you do) to take advantage of the cheap diesel. We topped up all three tanks and Jan went off to pay. The attendant wanted an address. We don't have an address except for Waiouru. Officialdom requires an address……. Jan did think of 10 Downing Street but in the end used our winter mooring address. It turned out we were rather fortunate with our timing as four other boats arrived seeking fuel whilst we were controlling the bowser nozzle. Must be time for a lotto ticket purchase! Three boats passed us going in the opposite direction immediately after we moved off the fuel point. Each of the steerers told us there was a boat loose at the end just beyond the next bridge. Why hadn't one of them stopped to secure it? By the time we reached the boat it was right across the canal. We resecured the boat with the assistance of a hireboat crew coming in the opposite direction.
More shady canal followed. It was a glorious day!
Jan remembered this lovely canal-side property from our last trip down the shroppie. Unfortunately it's outside our price range….. unless that lotto ticket proves to be a winner!
We found a vacant mooring in Gosnall Heath just beyond the Bridge Inn pub. Actually it's a good mooring with a gap in the trees allowing both sunlight and a TV signal to reach the boat.
The Bridge Inn
In the afternoon I did my Harry Houdini trick and went down the weed hatch to rescue Mr Tesco's plastic bags which would otherwise have drowned. We also acquired some light cordage and fishing line. When Waiouru makes a light ticking sound it's a sign that Waiouru has accumulated some additional items at the stern.
As all the diesel tanks were full it seemed an opportune time to recalibrate the tank gauges. This normally has to be done once or twice every year. Jan is one the lookout for some fresh farm eggs. Preferably still warm and clucking! She also cooked the sausages from the butcher at Brewood. Very tasty!

A travel ban in New York City has ended as the eastern US begins digging out from the weekend's massive snowstorm.
New York, the most populated city in the US, saw its second-highest snowfall since records began in 1869.
As five states saw snowfall of 3 feet or more, the death toll was raised to at least 28 people.
People died in car accidents, from carbon monoxide poisoning and from heart attacks while shovelling snow.
The storm, dubbed "Snow-mageddon" and "Snow-zilla", is now weakening and heading for the Atlantic Ocean.

Dan McConchie is the State Senator for the 26th District of Illinois.
As a hard working native Midwesterner, Dan's entrepreneurial spirit goes back to before he could drive. At age 9, Dan started going door to door in his neighborhood offering to do odd jobs like snow removal. In those formative years, he learned the value of showing up early and working hard as well as the importance of ensuring that a customer is fully satisfied. Dan started his first business at age 15 and another while in college.
With a heart for service, Dan joined the Army National Guard on his 17th birthday where he spent nine years in both the infantry and military police.
Dan met his wife Milena at an educational institute on American politics and economics in Prague, the Czech Republic. Together they have two beautiful teenage daughters, share a passion for travel as well as a love of country that comes from the first-hand experience of seeing the world. Dan has traveled to 45 states and over 20 countries.
Professionally, Dan is a Senior Advisor to The Shelby Group, where he works to apply private sector purchasing practices to government. Previously, Dan worked for non-profit groups in states across the country as an advocate for the most vulnerable amongst us. He worked to expand legal protections for all innocent human beings, both at the beginning and end of life, and to help curb sex trafficking. In his work, Dan has been a frequent speaker at events around the country and quoted extensively in the national news media including in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, NPR, MSNBC and FOX News.
In addition to his national work, Dan has sought to give back locally. He has served on the Public Works Committee for the Village of Hawthorn Woods and is currently on the Board of Directors of Informed Choices Pregnancy & Parenting in Grayslake and Crystal Lake. Dan also serves on the Board of Regents for The Fund for American Studies, an international organization training young people for leadership and teaching them the ideas of freedom and free-market economics.
In 2007, Dan was in a hit and run accident in Mundelein while riding a motorcycle that left him with a spinal cord injury and requiring him to use a wheelchair for mobility. While some people stay down when suffering a loss, Dan bounces back. He continues traveling extensively and has taken up sports such as adaptive skiing. His personal motto, which he adapted from his days in the infantry, is "Adapt and Overcome."
Dan won the Republican Primary in March, 2016 and then was appointed to be Senator the next month . He and his family attend Heritage Church in Lake Zurich. You can connect with Dan on Facebook at facebook.com/danmcconchie or via Twitter @DanMcConchie. You can visit his official Senate website at: SenatorMcConchie.com

The guy who wrote the racist "Chink In The Armor" headline for an ESPN story about Jeremy Lin should have been fired because he offended a lot of people and caused a massive firestorm and brought a ton of negative press on his employer.
It doesn't matter if he is or isn't a racist. It doesn't matter if he intentionally wrote that headline or not. All that matters is that he made a colossal error — whether the source of that error was racism or merely negligence is inconsequential.
But for some reason, people think intentionality matters. There's a perception that he shouldn't have been canned because he isn't actually a racist.
That's not how things work though. If you cause enough damage, intent doesn't matter.
We fire people all the time for being bad at their jobs. And part of this guy's job was to make sure there was nothing egregiously offensive about ESPN's Jeremy Lin coverage. So why does the degree to which it was an accident matter?
You can fire a fast-food worker for accidentally serving a plate of french fries with a dead bug in it. You can fire a maid for mixing up the wash and ruining a bunch of white clothes.
It's about the damage, not the intent.

When was the last time you played in a sandbox? It's likely been quite a long time. Yet it's also likely that you recall what it was like to "play well with others" within the safe confines of the sandbox. For T. J. Addington, author of Leading from the Sandbox, the sandbox is a metaphor to capture important ministry ideas. They're so helpful.
In fact, keying off of Addington's sandbox analogy, click here to download what we call the Navigators Encore Guiding & Defining Ideas illustration. Addington uses four powerful ideas as the sides of a sandbox. They define the boundaries of the organization—what is inside and what is not. Living within the boundaries of the following four ideas gives one a sense of empowerment for ministry and freedom to creatively use his or her gifts and abilities:
Calling: what we ultimately commit to accomplish
Central Ministry Focus: what we need to do day in and day out to accomplish our Calling
Guiding Principles: how we commit to operate
Preferred Culture: the ethos we need to accomplish the first three areas In children's sandboxes you will also find such tools as plastic shovels, rakes, and buckets for making sand castles. The Encore Sandbox has leadership tools that help us relate well to one another. They include:

One of the most beautiful towns in the area of Argolis (eastern Peloponnese), Nafplio was the first capital of the newly born Greek state between 1823 and 1834.
The area surrounding Nafplio has been inhabited since ancient times. According to mythology, the town was founded by Náfplios, the son of god Poseidon and the daughter of Danaus (Danaida) Anymone. The town's history traces back to the prehistoric era when soldiers from here participated in the Argonautic expedition and the Trojan War alike. The town declined during the Roman times and flourished again during the Byzantine times. Ancient walls, medieval castles, monuments and statues, Ottoman fountains and Venetian or neoclassical buildings mesmerize the visitor with their unique architecture and beauty.

text: An award winner at Rotterdam way back in 2005, Mercedes Álvarez's The Sky Turns, a film that aims to both fix and interrogate historical memory, becomes itself an act of historical recovery as it makes its belated theatrical debut. Returning to her tiny Spanish hometown of Aldealseñor after 35 years, Álvarez turns her lens on the few remaining elderly inhabitants of the village as they recount local legends or indulge in a bit of amateur philosophizing. For the film's first half, the director paints Aldealseñor as a place utterly out of time, its hardscrabble farmland and abandoned central palace emitting a silent palpable stillness. Widening her scope, Álvarez, the last person born in the village, opens up the region's past via archival photos of Franco's Fascists converging in the town square and present-day tour guides leading trips through Roman ruins. As the village hangs in stasis between history and future, construction crews invade the quiet to transform a town landmark into a luxury hotel. Nothing speaks more elegantly to the bewilderment of the locals than a long shot of newly built windmills lining a distant hilltop while a villager, made tiny by Álvarez's framing, looks on in the foreground, swallowed up by the forces of history.

Sorting, scoring and downloading photos from resultsMay 9, 2017 - 2 minutes read
You can now sort, score and download photos and videos from the results. Firstly, log in to Loquiz pro and go to an event results link. You find the results link under "Events", right after the name of the specific event in the third column.
Teams and Questions dropdown menus enable you to sort photos so that you can see all the photos of a specific team or all the photos that different teams made for a specific task. Or even the specific task that a specific team made.
A Bonus field below the photo and video enables to add extra points to teams that stand out. Lets say that a team gets 10 points for just answering the photo question and taking the picture (no matter how accurately the team does the task). But you as an facilitator can add bonuses for more creative teams. If you add "30" then the team gets in addition to 10 + 30 = 40 points for the task. You can also add minus points, so you divide the amount from the score.
This photo answer functionality can be used also in team activity stations where the teams have different success rates. So you can use the bonus field for giving points for team activities from a marshmallow tower building to an arrow shooting.
And last but not least. Download all photos and videos button creates a zip file, so you can download photos and videos to your computer.
Try out and feel free to share your feedback in the comments.

Y'know, I've heard for years about how it's supposed to be safer to fly than do drive and maybe that was true twenty or thirty years ago, but stories like this recent one in which Obama's plane had to make an unscheduled landing in St. Louis because of a "maintenance issue" that came up on the way from Chicago to Charlotte, N.C.
This whole thing has me wondering if maybe some of the problems going on today has anything to do with the fact that the average age of most aircraft in use is anywhere from 10 to 30 years old. This really doesn't sound too good to me. I am not a hamster, I hear about aircraft being that old and I think maybe I need to shop for a life insurance quote before I shop for airline tickets.
Btw- The headline in the news summary email said "maintenance issue" and the story on CBS's website says "mechanical issue". In either case, the nature of the "issue" was never fully revealed.
With the aircraft fleets of the various airlines apparently aging faster than they're getting replaced with new ones, I wonder just how safe flying really is these days? With all the near miss situations and "just in case" landings like with Obama's plane, how long will it be before something happens that can't be fixed with a "just in case" landing? Isn't it time for replacement of old aircraft to be stepped up? Besides, think of what that would do for the economy ... more orders for aircraft makers, more jobs, more money pumped into those communities..... Sounds like a good idea to me. (but then again, I've never flown commercially either)

The number of buy-to-let mortgages with arrears of over 10 per cent of the outstanding balance have jumped by 20 per cent.
This is according to new figures from UK Finance, which found that there were 1,200 such mortgages in the final quarter of 2017.
- Best buy-to-let areas in the UK
- Buy-to-let mortgage deposits: how much do you need?
- Landlord Capital Gains Tax: what you should know
- What does accidental damage insurance cover?
Meanwhile there were 5,100 buy-to-let mortgages in arrears of 2.5 per cent or more, an increase of two per cent on the previous year.
Possession warrants on the rise
The UK Finance figures suggest that 600 buy-to-let properties were repossessed during the quarter, a figure that's unchanged from the same quarter a year previously.
But separate data from the Ministry of Justice indicates that possession warrants for buy-to-let properties increased by nine per cent over the year.
Homeowner mortgages stable
The picture was more positive for owner-occupier mortgages, with the number of loans in arrears of 2.5 per cent or more falling by seven per cent – a total of 82,800.
Of those, 24,700 loans were in arrears of more than 10 per cent of the outstanding balance.
Homeowner possessions low
Commenting on the UK Finance report, the organisation's Paul Smee said: "Annual homeowner possessions currently stand at a 36-year low, with overall arrears and possessions continuing to decline.
"All potential borrowers are carefully assessed against their ability to pay back their loans, and lenders work closely with customers to ensure that any payment issues are dealt with at an early stage."
