A Look at Your Website Now…
Does your business have a website at this time?
If not…why not?
Many people make the mistake of thinking that just because they're a brick and mortar business…where customers and clients generally walk in from the street…that they don't need a web presence. You might think that having a website is for online businesses only…or that having one will just complicate things.
The truth is that every business in this day and age needs a website. Not having or one or an online presence nowadays is almost like not being in the phone book years ago…or worse…not even having a phone!!
It doesn't have to be complicated. People very well may not actually shop on your website. They may not make online orders. But you can bet that they're going to search online to find your business, find your phone number, your store hours, and what you have to offer.
This is the world we live in. People don't leave the house until they check with Google first. If you're not there, and your competition is…then that's where they'll be going.
Is Your Website Performing As Well As it Could Be?
Just having a website doesn't guarantee results however. Your website needs to get seen by people searching the internet for your website. On the other hand, your conversion rate may be low simply because of the way that your website is set up, or how the content on your site speaks to your visitors.
Does it compel them to act? Does it make them want to call? Can they even find your phone number to call? Etc. The list goes on.
We'll talk more about all of that in the weeks and months to come.
Thanks for coming by and seeing our new site. Come back often, as we will be adding more and more tips and advice…often!!
Don't forget to subscribe to this blog so that you won't miss any of these tips. You don't want your competition getting the jump on your business because they saw this stuff first!!

If you follow the @marta_explorer Instagram account, you are already familiar with its colorful, artfully blurred images of trains, buses, stations and stops, as well as the captions consistent in theme and tone—a friendly voice sharing how they got to and from coffee, a night on the town or a weekday commute—always from a first person point of view. Maybe you, too, have wondered about the account's "explorer" avatar: a mysterious, smiling cartoon man with spiky hair. Who exactly is the voice of MARTA?
Meet Adam Shumaker, Downtown Atlanta resident of over a decade. A Georgia State alum turned CNN video journalist turned freelancer, Shumaker caught MARTA's eye after he shot pictures of the transit system for Central Atlanta Progress. Then, when pictures of Shumaker and his wife taking the train to their wedding ceremony surfaced, he reached a whole new level of MARTA notoriety. The transit authority approached him with an opportunity: instead of a corporate marketing campaign, could he simply record how MARTA played a role in his daily life for an Instagram audience?
"I'm a natural advocate of MARTA," Shumaker said, "and they trusted me to run with it."
During Dump The Pump month, in which transportation management authorities like CAP are offering commuters incentives to try transit in lieu of driving, we talked to Shumaker about how one might become a "natural advocate" of transit, or at least consider the benefits of it.
When Shumaker first came to Downtown as a Georgia State student, he endured a long commute from Gwinnett County, which later prompted him, as a resident and worker, to live Downtown for a much briefer commute. A growing stack of MARTA tokens (in the days before Breeze cards) and the realization of how inconvenient it had become to retrieve, drive and re-park his car were the nudges toward a transit lifestyle. Years later, he technically still owns a car—but it sits in his parents' driveway back in Gwinnett County, unused.
Shumaker credits Downtown for his transportation lifestyle overhaul: "There are so many connections here—bus, rail, the Streetcar. It's the beauty of Downtown that no other neighborhood has. MARTA Explorer would not be as dynamic if I didn't live Downtown."
But MARTA Explorer isn't just focused on Downtown. On the contrary, Shumaker chronicles just how far MARTA can take him and his wife on their daily explorations of the city, whether it's a new coffee shop in College Park or the Atlanta Jazz Festival in Midtown.
When asked about who he keeps in mind as a target audience, Shumaker was quick to reemphasize the goal of the Instagram account: "Honestly, I'm not targeting any one person or group; I'm just showing my life as an example. I'm showing that [using MARTA] is possible at all times of day."
Image and honest responses to the concerns potential riders have are certainly priorities, however. "I try to illustrate how safe and clean MARTA is in a matter-of-fact way," he explained. "And I'm not shaming non-users. Instead, you can see how it works for [me] and consider how it could work for you."
Other concerns that many potential transit users have are convenience and reliability. Can transit get you where you need to go, and on time? With some planning ahead, familiarity with bus and rail schedules and the gift of technology, firsthand experience has shown Shumaker that this is possible.
"I think bus routes are often overlooked," he said, "and technology makes things so much easier. I often love to hang out and grab a coffee or drink and watch the MARTA app to see when the next bus is on its way. Transfer points are an opportunity to get to know an area better."
Of course, short wait times and accurate arrival times are of great importance to commuters, but Shumaker has many positive things to say about what can happen when we slow down and, yes, explore.
"Transit doesn't always take me door to door, and that's ok: I'm open to exploring where transit ends," he said. "Riding transit has completely changed my experience of the city. Instead of spending most of my time in my car, not experiencing anything, I get to explore a real city with great streets."
Instead of always focusing on going, Shumaker emphasized the world of possibilities that come from stopping. "Really, it's about making stops. In a car, I'm worried about where to stop and where to park. Now, I can sort of 'stop and smell the roses,'" he laughed. "And trust me: coffee tastes better when you walk and catch transit than when you drink it in a car."
The MARTA Explorer Instagram is a testament to those opportunities that await all of us who are going somewhere but are willing to take a look around when we arrive at our stop.
Interested in trying transit? If you are a Downtown commuter who uses transit no more than once a week, you can register for our Dump the Pump incentive program. Beyond the month of June, CAP continues to work with Downtown commuters through our Connect Downtown alternative commute program. Learn about all of the commute options that service Downtown commuters by exploring our website.

His Bethel College nickname may have been "Pretty Boy", but Barak Coolman's game, unlike his looks and his attire, was far more substance than style.
"The only flash was his hair and he had a lot more of it then," former Pilots coach Mike Lightfoot said. "You couldn't find a harder worker. Barak was hard-nosed, very self-disciplined, a tremendous character guy. He played with a lot of heart, a lot of grit. I could see he had the coaching pedigree, what I call the X factor you need as a coach."
Saturday's Class 4A Michigan City Regional will be a Bethel reunion of sorts with Coolman (Valparaiso), former roommate/teammate Eric Brand (South Bend Riley) and Kyle Sears (Elkhart Memorial), a Pilots player while Coolman was an assistant, all coaching teams.
"It's neat," Lightfoot said, "Coach (Homer) Drew impacted me and I passed it on down the coaching tree. It would be absolutely awesome to be in that gym with all three coaches. That'll be a hoot."
Lightfoot arrived Monday night in South Dakota, where he will watch his son and successor, Ryne, guide the Pilots in the NAIA Division II national tournament. The Bethel coach from 1987 to 2017, Lightfoot had 43 players follow him into coaching with five Indiana sectional winners this season.
"We had a good mentor," Coolman said. "He taught us what it was all about, to do it the right way. There were times you'd wish he was cussing at you because it was nicer than the yelling. He pushed us hard. It made you tough, and that helped you be successful on the court and in our lives. He really cared about you and it was more than just basketball."
By fourth grade, Coolman knew he wanted to be a basketball coach and to play at Purdue. Knowing the latter wasn't going to happen as a 6-foot-3 center, the Leo graduate chose Bethel for its tradition of success and Lightfoot's ability to mold coaches.
"I was the 16th man on the roster, an average player on a really good team," Coolman said. "I knew if I tried to be a scorer, I would stay the 16th man, but I was a good rebounder. I went to coach and asked him how I could help the team and he said if you play defense and rebound, you might have a chance. I wasn't a super athlete, but I worked to get in the best shape of my life so I could play that role to the best of my ability."
In Coolman's four years, Bethel won 132 games, two national titles and a national Christian college crown. It was NAIA runner-up the other year, when Coolman tore his MCL late in the tourney and teammate Michael Edison, now at LaVille, played through a torn ACL.
"That was a zenith point in small college basketball, a pretty amazing feat in four years," said Lightfoot, an NAIA Hall of Famer who now works with the National Association of Basketball Coaches as a mentor. "Barak was a key in what we did."
Equating himself to his Vikings, Coolman was a combination of seniors Marcus Gholston and Charlie Healy, a dirty-work, energy guy who is essential on a team with a star like Brandon Newman. Brand was the star of those Bethel teams, breaking the record for points in a season and career.
"He hogged the mirror, but he didn't hog the ball," Lightfoot said of Coolman. "It was always about appearance for Barak. Eric said he could never get a girl because Barak was hogging the mirror all the time. You can't miss his sports coats. He looks like Mr. Clean in that white one."
Coolman regaled stories of epic comebacks — 32 points down to Huntington, 10 behind Hope in the last minute, 11 in a row in the final seconds to win in the '98 tournament — all a testament to the confidence, competitiveness and never quit spirit Lightfoot instilled.
"Anything could happen," Coolman said. "You look at our teams, we were such a band of brothers. We couldn't jump out of the gym, but we were all hard-working guys who had high basketball IQs."
Save for Newman with the jumping part, it sounds a lot like the identity Coolman has forged at Valpo.
"Some coaches might have an understanding of the game but not the people skills," Lightfoot said. "It takes a special individual to relate to kids today, teach them at the same time what needs to be done on and off the court, and that's exactly what Barak's done wherever he's been at. He's a people person. He connects with players. He wants what's best for them. Every time I see him in a picture, he's with those kids. He's totally invested. He loves and cares about them."
The same, Lightfoot adds, holds true for Brand and Sears. The families also remain close, the Coolmans actually buying the Drews' former home. Jacci Lightfoot helped Valerie Coolman navigate the ups and downs of being a coach's wife and Valerie does the same for Sears' wife, Kara.
"I tried to model it from what the Drews did and passed it on to our players," Lightfoot said. "Valerie's an outstanding coach's wife. I told them it's a team effort."

Former Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole has succeeded Chief John Odigie-Oyegun as national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Group Political Editor EMMANUEL OLADESU examines the challenges that will confront the new leadership.
ADAMS Oshiomhole, veteran unionist and two-time governor of Edo State is basking in the euphoria of his victory as the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). He is assuming the reins at a time of great expectations. As he inherits the burden of leadership, many challenges will confront him and the new National Working Committee (NWC) in the next four years.
Since he had the backing of President Muhammadu Buhari and other influential party stalwarts for his new assignment, the former Edo helmsman became a candidate to beat. Thus, his challengers, Prof. Oserheimen Osunbor and Clement Ebri, a former Cross River State, withdrew from the race to back Oshiomhole.
Oshiomhole's emergence has finally erased the agenda of tenure elongation, which deepened the division in the fold in the last four months. The successful convention, which was the climax of ward, local government and state congresses, may have reinforced the party's commitment to periodic intra-party elections, rule of law and due process.
A key element of the convention is zoning. The 2014 zoning formula was sustained, thereby giving the six zones a sense of belonging in the distribution of party offices. Party chieftains have deliberated on the positions zoned to their regions and selected their national officers through micro-zoning. But, where dispute arose, they resolved to allow the aspirants to compete at the election in Abuja.
Following consultations, Kashim Imam from Borno opted out of the race for national secretary. His withdrawal paved the way for the emergence of Mai Mala Buni as consensus candidate. Senator Tony Adeniyi from Ikere-Ekiti also stepped down for former Ekiti State Governor Niyi Adebayo to emerge as Deputy National Chairman (South). Also, former National Vice Chairman (Southwest), Chief Pius Akinyelure, stepped down for his successor, Bankola Oluwajana from Ondo State.
Ahead of the exercise, the party has inaugurated the Convention Appeal Committee, which is expected to commence sitting tomorrow. Aggrieved aspirants and delegates are expected to file 30 copies of petitions as they ventilate their grievances before the panel. But, as the consensus candidate, the new chairman is insulated from that "intra-party litigation". In fact, the Convention Planning Committee Chairman, Governor Abubakar Badaru, ruled out post-convention crisis because many principal officers, including the chairman, deputy chairmen, vice chairmen, national secretary and legal adviser, were returned unopposed.
Yet, it was evident at the Eagle Square, venue of the exercise, that the party was not in one accord. The multiple crises triggered by rancorous congresses were carried to the convention. The political family is battling with predictable constraints and self-inflicted wounds, which have initially made the preparations for the convention very hectic.
Reflecting on the anxiety and tension that enveloped the party as it prepared for the national congress, Odigie-Oyegun, who alleged that they were fueled by the media, said the prophets of doom have been disappointed. In his farewell speech, he did not dwell on his achievements. But, he maintained that he will be handing over a cohesive party to his successor. It is debatable. Odigie-Oyegun said he was vacating the hot seat as a fulfilled man and he wished the party well in its future activities.
In those states where the congresses were successful, there was a feeling of comradeship. But, in states where results of the congresses were disputed, fresh crisis erupted. The chapters ultimately became more polarised. For example, rival factions from Imo and Delta states clashed at the venue for almost 45 minutes before security agents restored order into a state of pandemonium.
Trouble started when delegates loyal to Chief Great Ogboru and Senator Ovie Omo-Agege were asked to vacate their seats for those loyal to Chief O'tega Emerhor. Ogboru, who was ushered into the venue around 1 pm, was taken aback when Emerhor's supporters invaded the space, demanding that delegates loyal to him should leave their seats.
Initially, Emerhor, who had assembled his supporters at a stand very close to the Eagle Square gate, tutored them on how to storm the space provided for Delta delegates. He brought food and drinks for them as he consistently reminded them that they should be prepared to invade the space, thereby sacking Ogboru's supporters. With Emerhor was former Delta House of Assembly Speaker Victor Ochei, who had stormed out of the state pavilion, following Ogboru arrival. Also, Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, from Delta, initially sat among Kebbi delegates.
As President Muhammadu Buhari was on the podium delivering his goodwill address, there was commotion. The two factions started to flex muscles. A free-for-all fight broke out as chairs were flying in the air. Many of the rival delegates were locked in physical combat. Scores were injured. Delegates from Edo and Akwa Ibom, who sat next to their Delta counterparts, took to their heels.
Also, fight broke out among Imo delegates when supporters of Senator Ifeanyi Ararume resisted an attempt by delegates loyal to Governor Rochas Okorocha and his in-law and Chief of Staff, Uche Nwosu, to sit with them. Supporters of the governor were dispersed. It took security agents 45 minutes to restore order. However, delegates loyal to Ogboru regained their seats, to the consternation of Emerhor's supporters who were seen loitering around and trading abusive words with their kinsmen.
Also, an APC stalwart from Ondo State, Senator Ajayi Boroffice, and his supporters avoided the space allocated to delegates from the Sunshine State, citing likely hostility from the state leadership of the party. Instead, Boroffice, a retired professor and former Director of the Nigeria Airspace Agency, sat among delegates from Jigawa State.
On why he opted to sit among Jigawa delegates, he said: "I could not even enter with any delegate tag, because I don't have one. I was allowed into this venue because I showed my identity card to them at the gate. I decided to sit here among Jigawa delegates to avoid likely embarrassment if I go to space provided for Ondo State delegates." However, the party chairman, Ade Adetimehin, said: "The senator is afraid of his shadows. He committed serious anti-party offences during the last governorship election. He worked for the opposition. How can the generality of the party trust him? That is the explanation I can give. But, there is room for reconciliation."
There was also anxiety in Kwara camp, following the refusal of an aspirant to the position of publicity secretary, Lanre Isa Onilu, to step down for the incumbent Bolaji Abdullahi. Before voting started, another aspirant and former House of Representatives member, Duro Meseko, withdrew from the race.
In Lagos arena, supporters of former National Legal Adviser, Dr. Muiz Banire, shunned the convention. A chieftain from Lagos, Babatunde Ogala, a lawyer and former House of Assembly member, succeeded the senior advocate.
In Kogi State, ebullient Senator Dino Melaye was conspicuously absent. Also, there was no trace of Senator Shehu Sani from Kaduna State at the convention. Former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwakwanso, a senator, was also absent.
However, the historic convention was a welcome relief to many stalwarts. It provided a rare opportunity for self-assessment, subtle reconciliation and renewal of loyalty to the core values that motivated its birth by four defunct platforms — the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and a faction of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) – before the so-called new-Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) elements teamed up with the party in 2015.
In the last four years, the ruling party has been beset with leadership failure. This may have been due to inaction, aloofness, lip service to the cause of unity and personalisation of power by party officers. Many founding fathers had cried out over the style of the former chairman, who they perceived as a divisive factor. There were protests over the obvious exclusion of founding fathers from party affairs. Many members and followers were taken aback when the party could not hold its mid-term convention two years ago. To analysts, APC's ratings nosedived among Nigerians, because the party was in disarray. In lamentation, they started yearning for a credible and formidable alternative.
After winning presidential power, no concrete attempts were made to really embark on party reforms. The gulf among members of the defunct legacy parties was not closed. The chairman was not perceived as a symbol of unity. Not only did the APC fail the two critical tests of party supremacy and party discipline, after becoming a ruling party, it also failed to lay example for smaller parties in crisis resolution. The legislative/executive feud, the governor/senators face-off in some states and governor/ministers tango in others, further reinforced the protracted division. Although the APC has the majority in the National Assembly, passage of budgets has always been herculean task.
Many party officers also worked at cross purpose at the national level. The NEC and NWC meetings were not held regularly. So weak were the party organs that it could not resolve the conflict between the presidency and the parliament, although the president and majority of legislators belong to the ruling party. The APC Board of Trustees (BoT) was not constituted. The party caucus was helpless.
Alarmed at the drift, one of the founding fathers, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, cried out that the Odigie-Oyegun was not ready for the task of reconciling warring chieftains across the troubled chapters. When President Buhari later asked the former Lagos governor to take up the assignment, Tinubu also said that Oyegun was trying to frustrate the process.
However, many believe that the APC still has a brighter future, once its house is put in order. During his consultations with party stakeholders, Oshiomhole has shown the promise of great leadership. He built on his strong political base as the candidate of the president by taking his case to the governors, ministers and legislators. The goal was to avoid a legitimacy crisis which his sole candidature may foist and to prevent any likely perception or feeling of imposition. He succeeded by selling his candidature and gaining national acceptance among party leaders and followers.
Reconciliation is inconclusive in the APC. The onus is now on Oshiomhole to genuinely work for peace in the troubled ruling party. He is expected to beam the searchlight on the simmering crises in many chapters, including Delta, Imo, Oyo, Kano, Kaduna, Rivers, Kwara, Enugu and Kogi.
A party stalwart from Enugu State, Osita Okechukwu, the Director-General of Voice of Nigeria (VON), who described Oshiomhole as a dynamic leader who will endow his seat with credibility, agreed the onus is on him to strengthen the reconciliation process.
He said the task of reconciliation will be easier for Oshimhole, because Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is involved in the peace process. Okechukwu added: "Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Reconciliation Committee is at work. Asiwaju has gone far in the process. Nobody can take it from Asiwaju. You cannot bribe him during the reconciliation process. He is a veteran. He is a man of means. He has the capacity to talk to any of the factions anywhere. We will move on to progress.
"We also have a consensus presidential candidate, President Muhammadu Buhari. If we have two contenders for president, it will be difficult. Ninety per cent of the membership and leadership of the APC say he should continue. So, there will be no division. The president has authority. Immediately he said he preferred Oshiomhole as chairman, everybody agreed; those who wanted to contest stepped down."
In 2015, the immediate past chairman, through the backing of other founding fathers, led the party to victory. Oshiomhole has two critical governorship elections before him. Ekiti will go to poll on July 14. He has gone there to campaign for the candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi. He is expected to return to the state early next month for another round of campaigns. In Osun, politics of nomination appears to be tearing the fold apart. Party elders are working assiduously to ensure a credible primary. After the Ekiti poll, the people of Osun will also go to the poll. Will the APC win the polls?
Preparations for next year's general elections have also begun. How will Oshiomhole manage the predictable crises that may engulf the chapters during the governorship and parliamentary primaries?
There were also allegations that the national secretariat was under-funded. How should the APC be funded? Should the party continue to rely on the governors for finance or opt for funding by the generality of party members through membership dues?
On general party administration, Okechukwu said: "Oshiomhole is going to be dynamic and purposeful. He will be successful. He has passed through the mills as a union leader. As a union leader, he is pro-people. He is the darling of the working people. He has been governor for eight years. He is witty. He communicates. He is an organiser."
Other prominent chieftains, who highlighted the challenges that will confront his leadership, expressed confidence in the ability of new chairman to deliver. They urged him to learn from the pitfalls of the past, maintain an open door policy, reconcile warring chieftains across the zones and resolve the post-congress crises at the state level.
Badaru, who conducted the affirmation process leading to the unanimous election of Oshiomhole in his capacity as the Convention Planning Committee chairman, said the new chairman will turn the party around. He noted that Oshiomhole emerged as chairman without acrimony and division, recalling that other contestants had earlier stepped down for him before the convention.
His Lagos State counterpart, Akinwunmi Ambode, who applauded the planning committee for conducting a successful congress, said Oshiomhole will take the party to a bright future. He said the chairman has the exposure, experience and strong will to achieve success as a goal-oriented person.
Transport Minister and leader of Rivers State APC Rotimi Amaechi congratulated Oshiomhole, who he described as a workaholic and dynamic leader, adding that he is focused and dedicated to principles. He said: "He was governor for eight years. He didn't do badly. He did well. He will be a good leader as the chairman of the party and we will give him all our support. He has over 6,000 delegates behind him. It was a huge crowd. He has to be dexterous in managing a huge crowd and manage their differences.
"He should build on the achievements of his predecessor. We need that, going forward. I don't think he has bad temperament as some people think. There are principles and Oshiomhole is a man of solid principles.
A former member of the National Assembly, Senator Smart Adeyemi, hailed the process that threw up Oshiomhole as leader, urging the party to always work for cohesion and unity. He described Oshiomhole as "an action leader" and a threat to the opposition, predicting that next year's presidential election campaign will be hot, because the new party chief will be involved.
Adeyemi, who represented Kogi West District in the Senate between 2007 and 2015, said: "APC has made a wise choice. Oshiomhole will be tough for the opposition. In fact, he will dwarf the opposition in 2019. I knew him as a member of the NLC when he was the president and I was the NUJ chairman. The opposition is in problem. He will fight them."
Ogboru said the Southsouth will support Oshiomhole unconditionally as a native of the Niger Delta, stressing that more people will embrace the party because he is in the saddle.
He added: "He is an action man, an action comrade, activist and an action governor. He will be an action chairman. We are going to see leadership in action. With him, we will see a new APC; stronger, more united, cohesive. He will move the party forward. It will be an APC that will be more inclined to the rule of law, good governance and democracy. These are the hallmarks of his life.
"Yesterday, when he was told to drop the toga of comrade, he said no. He said he will not leave anything behind, but add something to what he already had. He will add the chairmanship to his comradeship, his governorship, his advocacy, his disposition and egalitarian principles. I think it is a full package for the APC. We are happy."

Coffee was hardly known in Europe before the seventeenth century and did not come via a direct route from Africa, but found its way to Britain through Mediterranean trade routes with the Muslim world.
Queen Elizabeth I opening up diplomatic relations with her new-found Moroccan and Ottoman friends, establishing good trading relations and sea-faring agreements. This trade allowed goods such as tea from Asia, coffee, and chocolate to filter into England.
Britain's first coffee shop opened in Oxford in 1650 by a Turkish Jew named Jacob. Two years later, a Greek servant, Pasqua Rosee, brought the new drink to the capital, opening a shop in St Michael's Alley, Cornhill.
By 1660, London's coffeehouses had become an integral part of its social culture. Soon, intellectuals, professionals and merchants thronged to the coffee houses to debate, distribute pamphlets, do deals, smoke clay pipes and, of course, consume a coffee. By by 1663 there were more than 83 coffee houses in London and at the beginning of the eighteenth century there were as many as five or six hundred.
In 1674 The Women's Petition Against Coffee was set up in London. Women complained that men were never to be found at home during times of domestic crises, since they were always enjoying themselves in the coffee houses. A year later, King Charles II tries to supress the coffee houses because they were regarded as hotbeds of revolution but his proclamation is revoked after a huge public outcry and the ban lasts just 11 days.
By 1750, tea had replaced coffee as Britain's favourite drink. First made fashionable by Charles II wife, Queen Catherine, the hugely-powerful East India Company flooded the domestic market with it to boost its trade interests.

igus has introduced a new bearing, called drylin W Exchange, for its drylin W linear system, where the liner can be replaced directly on the rail quickly and easily without dismantling the system. A practical assembly tool is used to push the old liner out of the housing, clip the new one onto the shaft and push it into the housing for a flush fit. Simple, yet clever, maintenance that saves engineers time and money, while maximising machine uptime.
"When changing the liner on a linear guide rail, for example where extremely abrasive sand or glass dust is present, the entire linear slide has to be pushed off the rail," explains Robert Dumayne, director at igus. "For linear axes or multi-axis gantries with a toothed belt drive, this requires a high assembly effort and long machine downtime."
The new bearing housing for the drylin W linear system, ensures easy changing of the liner directly on the linear rail. The side cover of the bearing housing on the linear slide can be removed easily with a screwdriver. With the tool supplied free of charge, which can also be 3D printed, the liner is pushed out of the carriage and removed. Then the replacement liner, which is made of the highly wear- and abrasion-resistant iglidur J200 tribopolymer material, is clipped onto the rail and inserted precisely into the slide with the assembly tool. Put the side cap back on the bearing housing and the change is complete.
The practical benefits of the drylin W Exchange is that the rail cannot be damaged and replacement takes place directly on the system. A pin in the middle of the side cover secures the liner in the carriage. Alternatively, it can also be replaced using a screwdriver. In this case, igus provides special recesses on the new liner and in the carriage. The new Exchange bearing housing can be retrofitted to all existing drylin W systems of size 10 with a shaft, including guides, linear axes, and linear robots. Additional sizes are currently in planning.
For more information about the drylin W exchange, please visit: www.igus.co.uk/drylinw or call igus directly on: 01604 677240.

Eating fish at least twice a week is highly recommended by both the American Heart Association and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The reasons for this are plentiful—reduced inflammation, lower blood presser, lower triglycerides—and one meta-analysis even concluded that eating fatty fish twice per week could reduce your risk of coronary death by 36% and total mortality by 17%.
That's a big benefit just for introducing some variety to your weekly meal plan. The research recommends we eat fatty fish—things like salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies, and sardines—and do our best to get a variety while avoiding species that may be high in mercury.
So, to help you work more fish into your diet, we're sharing this quick and easy "weeknight salmon" recipe.
As written, this weeknight salmon recipe serves one, but that just means it is also easily multiplied out to more servings. Just be generous with your vegetables and estimate approximately four ounces of fish per person, and you'll have plenty to go around. To keep the cook time quick, though, be sure to slice your chard and apples nice and thin.
Weeknight Salmon with Chard, Apple, and Quinoa
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 1
Note: where your food comes from matters. Whenever possible, choose organic ingredients and purchase responsibly raised animal products (i.e. grass-fed beef, free-range chicken, hormone-free dairy, etc.)

Reporter finds important information
Gus Philpott
Woodstock Advocate
July 20, 2012
Northwest Herald reporter Sara Sutschek uncovered important information related to the early morning fatal accident on July 1 that claimed two young lives just outside Woodstock.
She wrote in this morning's Northwest Herald article that Jacob Norys and Alec Kaiser had talked to a friend in a Woodstock gas station parking lot shortly before the crash. Then she wrote, "Norys and Kaiser switched spots, with Kaiser getting behind the wheel."
This would indicate to me that Norys drove from his home to Kaiser's home and then back into Woodstock to that gas station parking lot, which location was not identified in the Northwest Herald article.
At that point a Woodstock officer in an unmarked car pulled in. From the article it appears that just-barely-16 Alec Kaiser was behind the wheel of the Norys car. It may be that the officer felt he did not have cause to ask for identification, if the car was on private property.
Before that, when Kaiser was passenger, there were 22 outgoing calls from his cell phone.
Depending on what "shortly before 2 a.m." means, the boys must have left that convenience store and perhaps drove south on Dean Street, crossing U.S. 14, and turning right on Davis Road.
There was a cell phone call at 1:58AM from Kaiser's phone to "Potatoe", and the crash time is reported as 2:02AM. "Potatoe" will know whether he was talking to Kaiser or Norys (on Kaiser's phone) at the time of the crash and what their conversation was about.
Norys' cell phone was damaged in the crash, and deputies were unable to extract a record of his cell phone usage from the phone. They could have obtained call records from the cellular service provider, but those records were not in the Coroner's file last week.
The question now is, what will parents and friends do, so that crashes like this one don't happen in the future?

Border cities in West AfricaJune 2019
A report on border cities in West Africa has just been published in the OECD's series "West Africa Papers" on the Sahel and West Africa. Made up of four papers, the "cities" collection is the fruit of systematic analysis of the role played by border cities in the regional integration process in West Africa.
Based on multidimensional mapping of 18 countries, the report analyses the local dynamics that have evolved in urban settings, the effects of distance on national cohesion, and the impact of territorial divisions at international level. The cross-border urban experiences presented here can serve as examples for other territories. The MOT contributed to the writing of this collection, notably with respect to the forthcoming issue, which deals with cross-border conurbations faced with climate change in West Africa.

Sterling Merlot Sterling Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot Red 2005
Winemaker's Notes:
Merlot is a benchmark varietal for Sterling and we take great pride in this wine. It was fermented in stainless steel tanks for about 9 days. Keeping the lots separate, we put the wine to barrel, some before malolactic fermentation and some after. After 12 months of aging in a combination of new and used barrels, the various lots were blended and bottled. Small amounts of the other Bordelaise varietals add a note of complexity to the finished wine. Bright ruby in color, this lovely wine offers aromas of ripe black cherries, raspberries and cedar. Luscious fruit flavors of blackberries and cherries accented by a touch of toasty oak lead to a long, silky finish. Enjoy this wine paired with grilled New York steak, roast lamb and aged cheeses. The smooth, silky tannins make it a good match for rich chocolate desserts as well.
Our iconic winery is perched high above the town of Calistoga on a mid-valley hill. Its stark architectural beauty, state-of-the-art winemaking facility, and panoramic views of Napa Valley from the rooftop deck have attracted visitors from all 50 states for over 30 years.

Three glasses
External Reviews for Sterling Merlot Sterling Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot Red
Deep ruby color. Big, dense, jammy aromas of ripe plums and black cherry. Plush, elegant, full, ripe-fruit flavors framed with spicy oak and subtle youthful tannins. The wine is fleshy and full, with gobs of flavor.
Dark red. Cherry, raspberry, licorice, mint and cedary, vanillin oak on the nose; became oakier in the glass. Supple and easygoing, with moderately intense red berry, spice cake and mint flavors. Nicely balanced Merlot, finishing with easy tannins and decent length.
Estate-grown grapes from California's Napa Valley are aged in small oak barrels, resulting in a wine laden with black cherry and currant nuances and hints of tobacco overlaying velvety tannins.
Very complete, with ripe, well-centered plum, currant and black cherry flavors. Wonderful sense of balance and finesse, with fine, integrated tannins and pretty oaks shadings. Drink now through 2008.
Quite tannic, but that can't stop the layers of licorice, blackberry, herb and mint that blend nicely through the moderate finish. Needs some time to settle down and soften up; best from 2001 through 2005.
Pleasantly supple and balanced, with ripe, approachable black cherry, plum and wild berry fruit that has a slight candied edge. Moderate tannins on the finish. Drink now through 2005.
Soft and easy, with berry, plum, tobacco and sage flavors and supple tannins. Acidity is low. This is a dry, pleasant wine of no special complexity, but fun to drink.

Pop icon Britney Spears will release the highly-anticipated music video for her new single "Hold it Against Me" in a matter of days, but in the meantime, songwriter Claude Kelly is dishing about the album, entitled Femme Fatale.
Claude tells the Orlando Sentinel, "I would say ['Hold It Against Me' is] the tip of the iceberg because that's the very beginning of a whole album."
In comparison to Spears' 2008 album Circus, Claude says Femme Fatale is "darker" and "edgier," but keep in mind that it will "still [have] fun pop records."
Claude admits producers Dr. Luke and Max Martin are "in charge" of the final cuts of the album, which has a March 29 release date, MTV News reports.
"I'm not even sure myself what made the cut. I know there's something workable in there, but I worked on her last album as well, so it's kind of a continuation of that," he explains.
Claude went on to praise Spears' adventurousness in the studio, saying, "For me, I get inspired by the artist that I'm working with. With Britney, she's really not afraid to try anything," he said. "So it allows you to be more creative and say sexier things, say more mysterious things with her. It's kind of all things go."

My name Ivan and I am a music producer, mixing engineer and musician based off of Tampa, Florida.
I've loved music as long as I can remember and everything about it fascinates me, but what really grabs my attention is HOW it's made. I discovered the art of music production and audio engineering when I was around 15 and ever since I've been absolutely obsessed. I love the concept of taking an idea, something that exists only through someone's creative imagination, and turning it into a finished product. More than anything though, I love the energy that creating music brings and the friendships that it creates.
As producer or mixing engineer I take pride in my work and I am entirely dedicated to making sure your music sounds exactly like what you envisioned it.

NEW LONDON, Conn. - The Austin College women's water polo team out-scored Penn State Behrend 7-0 in the fourth quarter as the 'Roos ran away with a 19-7 victory in the opening round of the CWPA Division III Championships on Friday. The 'Roos are now 7-8 on the year and head to the semifinals against Carthage College on Saturday.
Lexi Wong and Brooke Le combined for a huge day in the pool to pace Austin College offensively, with Wong scoring a program record eight goals while Le also topped the previous Austin College mark with six tallies. Austin College got on the board first with a score from Le, and Presley Woods tallied to make it a 2-0 game with just under six minutes remaining in the opening quarter. Le scored again to make it 3-0, and after PSB found the back of the net twice to cut it to a 3-2 game, Wong put the ball in the goal with eight seconds left to give the 'Roos a two-goal cushion after one.
Wong and Le scored to help the 'Roos get the score to 6-3 early in the second quarter, and after Penn State Behrend answered to cut it back to a two-goal margin, Le scored with 2:43 left in the second quarter to send Austin College into halftime leading 7-4. PSB battled early in the third, cutting it to a 9-7 game, but Austin College would score the final three goals of the quarter to begin to pull away, and carry that momentum into the final period. Overall, the 'Roos ended the game on a 10-0 run that included five goals by Wong, including the final three tallies of the game.
Madison Taylor and Valery Piachonkina led a stellar defensive effort for the 'Roos, with Piachonkina making seven stops in the net. Taylor added a goal in the third quarter. Presley Woods tallied three times in the game, and Shannon Berry rounded out the scoring with a goal.
Austin College takes on Carthage College at 2:15 p.m. Eastern on Saturday, marking the third meeting between the two teams this season. The 'Roos previously defeated Carthage 15-3 on March 3 and 8-7 on March 31.

Paul Krugman has a great column on climate change today. This leapt out at me.
"For three decades the dominant political ideology in America has extolled private enterprise and denigrated government, but climate change is a problem that can only be addressed through government action. And rather than concede the limits of their philosophy, many on the right have chosen to deny that the problem exists."
And, not parenthetically:
"We can afford to do this. Even as climate modelers have been reaching consensus on the view that the threat is worse than we realized, economic modelers have been reaching consensus on the view that the costs of emission control are lower than many feared."

Decide if you need over clothes for your wedding gown. If you're having a winter wedding, and your heart is set on a strapless, A-Line, princess dress, then a great coat or bolero will help you keep warm during the wedding ceremony.Keep in mind that there are also some churches that require brides to wear modest attire for the ceremony. Rayon fringed shawls and floor-length feathered coats are excellent ways of keeping covered during the actual ceremony.On your way to your reception, simply slip out of these over clothes to show the full beauty of your wedding gown.Follow these helpful tips and keep these reminders in mind when dress-shopping, to make your hunt for the perfect wedding dress a more enjoyable and less stressful experience.
Every bride dreams of having the perfect wedding, but for this they need the perfect wedding dress, with the bridesmaid's dresses complimenting the brides dress. The problem is; how do you choose the most beautiful dress when there are so many gorgeous wedding dresses to choose from.

This past week celebrated National Cake Decorating Day and we thought we would showcase a few wedding cake decorating ideas from our Pinterest page.
There are so many ways to add your own style,and touch to your wedding day. One way to personalize your event is of course your wedding cake! Whatever color, size, shape and theme you choose there will certainly be a wedding cake to suit your budget and style.
However, couples today are adding many other dessert ideas to finalize their meal, but we still think the wedding cake is such a wonderful tradition to keep.
Here are some of our Pinterest Wedding Cake Ideas that we love! This one is from elysiarootcakes.com. Note that it combines ribbon with decorative flowers on each layer.
And here is a spectacular one with the perfect flower touch sliding from the top down. This one is from www.amycakes.com. Also note the way the icing has been finished off.
Then there is the wedding cakes with fruit on top or cascading down the sides. And, here are some ideas! This extravaganza is from http://www.deerpearlflowers.com
Since I love berries so much this would be an ideal choice for me with a slightly bare wedding cake. A perfect touch!
Another favorite inspiration is from an article in www.junebugweddings.com, which showcases two wedding cakes for your dessert table. One very elaborate cake complimented by one slightly bare creation, both of which compliment each other!
If you have a navy and white color theme for your wedding, how about choosing a cake that incorporates both colors? Then add a sparkle of silver and white frosting dots to add some glamour and sparkle to your dessert table!
Another look combines a stripped banner with your names on it and Mr. and Mrs. to commemorate your wedding day and topped with sugared decorative flowers.
Another colored cake theme is this one in black and white. It could be one of our favorites because it features a string of pearls cascading down the side with a small framed picture in the middle! How unique from cakecentral.com
Our final suggestion from our Pinterest page is the newest trend in wedding cakes…adding Holograms! AMAZING!!! One of the most creative ideas is having these holograms projected onto your cake. Sometimes they even move. They are so beautiful and just are the perfect way to tie in your wedding story and theme even more. However, I think this idea works better on larger cakes.
Please check out these ideas and more on our Pinterest page on our website www.marryinglaterinlife.com.
Enjoy, and take a moment to send in a picture of your wedding cake so we can post it on our website.
And, come back soon!

Love is an action. It shows in what you do and not in what you say. Saying I love you is nice & beautiful, but it's not the same as doing something that demonstrates love. For love to be truly felt, words need to be followed by action.
Love is a feeling, but there is much more to it. Love is innately in us because God made each of us to be on this earth, and we would not be on this earth if it were not for him. We are all images and mirrors of him and his love, and we are to share that love with others especially the one who is our significant other.
This is part 1 because there is so much more to share on this subject. I share this about my own life; I have been married and divorced, so I have seen what love is and what it is not. My dad was a preacher, so I grew up in a good Christian family who knew and knows how love should be shown. Here is what I have learned over the years about true, real love:
* Love is what it states in the Bible in 1 Corinthians chapter 13. If you don't understand the context of this, then please go to someone who can break it down and explain it to you.
* It is taking the garbage out, helping with the laundry, or doing any other chore around the house without being asked. When asked, don't procrastinate if you can help it. Do the chore as soon as you can. Make sure you do it with a willing spirit and a positive mindset.
* Love is wanting to share in the chores around the home unless you have the money to have hired help for inside (or outside) the home. Two are better than one in getting anything done as it makes it easier. You get things done more quickly and efficiently and you can have fun in sharing in doing them together.
* How you treat each other speaks volumes. If you tease all the time and the other one has asked you to stop, then stop it. If there's anything abusive or negative in how the other person treats you, then it's not love. It's crucial you treat each other with respect, consideration, patience, and understanding.
* Learn not just to listen, but to hear what the other is saying so you can give good feedback, and do it in a way, so the other knows you understood what was asked or said. Put whatever you are doing to the side and focus on what is being asked or said to you. If you don't have a response at least acknowledge what was said.
* Love is not manipulative, is not doing things begrudgingly, or being demanding in any way. It is not anything negative, and it is everything good and positive. It is being kind and caring in everything you say or do because love draws that out in us.
* Love is not just about having sexual relations with your significant other. It's about having a deep relationship and connection where you both communicate well with each other and can be open and honest with one another. The communication lines always need to be open. When you start cutting those lines, your relationship suffers and you both suffer from the consequences of it.
* It is always about wanting to grow and mature in ways where it improves you as individuals, together as a couple, and change your life for the better all the time. It is wanting to build and strengthen that love every day and not when you want to do it.
*There is a famous quote from the book and movie, Love Story by Erich Segal and it is this: "Love is never having to say you're sorry." Love is about saying "you are sorry" when it's needed and meaning it when it is said, but it is about always admitting when you are wrong. Saying "you are sorry" doesn't always help matters, but it can sooth us to a point where it can bring peace.
* Love is not intentionally hurtful; it's not wanting to cause pain in any way. No matter what we do or say, we may on occasion hurt each other with words (or by doing or saying something) because we are all different; we are all different in many ways. It's important to bring peace and harmony to the relationship.
* It is about saying pleasantries such as "please", "thank you", "you're welcome" and meaning it when those words are said.
* Love is knowing when to say or do something and when not to because our words and our tone can be misconstrued by others.
* It is about not having to explain yourself constantly because love is all about completely trusting that person. It is about not having to remind the other of something more than three times. If you find yourself reminding the other more than that, then you come off as you are begging and nagging.
* Love sets you free and allows you to become who you are meant to be because true love will encourage you in all things and assists in making you be complete when you are with the right person.
* Love is trusting, understanding, respecting, encouraging, uplifting, and inspiring one another all the time no matter what happens in life because you know life is sweeter just by having that person in your life.

Automated system for social dev centers launched
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 6: As part of ongoing efforts to track down those behind the fake credentials scandal and to protect public funds, Director of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) Ahmad Al-Jassar issued a circular requiring employees to submit information or details regarding the high academic degrees they obtained while working in governmental institutions without study leave and prior to approval of the change in designation, reports Al-Qabas daily.
In his decision, Al-Jassar stressed the need for governmental institutions to look into the credentials of employees before taking any decision concerning the change of designation. He also emphasized the significance of determining the highest academic qualification obtained by the employees – whether bachelor's, master's or doctorate degree – during the period of service without obtaining scholarship or study leave. He added the aforementioned information should be submitted along with the fingerprint attendance details, salaries and bonuses that the employees received in accordance with the CSC's system.
Meanwhile, Assistant Undersecretary for Planning and Administrative Development Affairs and acting Assistant Undersecretary for Social Development Affairs in the Ministry of Social Affairs Hassan Kazem has announced the launching of the automated system for social development centers, including the application for online reservation of wedding halls, reports Al-Jarida daily.
Speaking to the daily, Kazem confirmed the Society Development Department recently opened the door for reserving wedding halls. He also announced the launching of a private service for obtaining priority cards for the elderly within two weeks.

Listen I'm not trying to get more birthday wishes by writing on my birthday or anything like that. (Or heaven forbid more comments:)) No I'm just writing this down for history's sake. One day when I am rich and famous I will look at this blog and say: "Wow, I was a pretty cool chick when I was 33!" And it's also good for the posterity too. Since everything is going internet and computer lately.
Here it goes:
Thirty three years ago I was born,
To a mother and father who would later adorn–
With pink dresses and sunsuits galore
I soon found pictures to be a great bore.
I used to look back and think,
"Oh please I just need one more drink."
(Oh wait a minute I don't drink.)
Along with my little contrived story,
I grew up from my little girl merry.
And soon found my way into really contrary.
My mom would probably tell you I was a good teen–
But man oh man I talk backed my way into being mean.
And now as I have grown older and wiser too.
I'd like to thank my mother and father–
For taking the time and raising me right.
Heaven forbid even sometimes I didn't act quite so bright.
So as I tell this tale in my own special way,
Thanks Mom and Dad for making me what I am today.
I love you Mom and Dad! You are the best parents a girl could have!
Looking forward to the visit this summer!
Love, your daughter
I discovered something last night. I know Facebook is addicting and I think I have cut the habit of staying on longer than is needful, (Really you gotta watch yourself–if you are not careful phones, electricity and utilities could go past due cause you forgot cause you were on the BELOVED Facebook!) Anyway that was a tangent, where was I? Oh yeah I finally figured out this Yo-ville business. It's cool. You design your own character with clothes and stuff and you can shop, eat, drink, dance, throw snowballs at each other, TALK lots of things to do in Yo ville.
Well the point of all this is it reminds me of when I used to play with Barbies. I have my own creation of a Barbie now! It's awesome! I can work, (need to work on Yo-ville to buy furniture,clothes for your character. Anyway you should check it out. You will have fun! I promise! And if you check Yo ville out Be sure and look for my character Cutie-pie!
Hey you all! We just celebrated Maggie's birthday! On her actual birthday we went to Chuck a rama and had delicious food! Then a couple of days later we had her PARTY! We had it outside with a treasure hunt, PIZZA and of course cake and ice cream. I tried to organize some games for the kids but all they wanted to do was run around and chase each other. Everybody had a real good time. I'm glad I had a party for Maggie. Next party–My 33rd birthday! My birthday is on the 27th of March! WOW! Then my sweet hubby's is on the 30th of March. Then Anna (July 28th, Then Lydia's August 17th) March is our birthday celebration month. Here are some pictures from our celebrating days! Lydia had a great time too–making a mess of herself with the chocolate cake! (plus since she was outside she touched the ground and got her hands grassy too)
A tidbit of info for you about Lydia: We have 2 friendly dogs next door to us. Lydia goes over to our neighbors where the dogs are dangling a piece of chocolate cake in her hands. Does the dog eat the cake in her hands? NO, the dog runs away from Lydia. Strange indeed don't you think?
Nearly seven years I was in the hospital having you! I remember I was concerned that your older sister Anna, might not get to hold you because she was sick real bad with crupe. (It's a nasty cough with head drainage) But I asked the doctor and he said she could just as long as she washed her hands. Grandma Covington stayed with us for a couple of days and it was a good thing too cause Anna was up in the middle of the night too. I took care of you Maggie and Grandma took care of Anna. I just wanted to let you know how much I love you Maggie and I am SO GLAD you are my daughter! You are so smart and beautiful!! I hope you have a wonderful day today! The picture I chose has you in this pink beret that you wore like all day! And of course you are playing with Anna.
One of my Facebook friends posted this SNL skit. It has Steve Martin and Amy Poeler in it. It is freaking hilarious. It's so funny! Tell me what you think please!
Aren't kittens just wonderful? I love watching Fuzz interact with her kitten babies! She is so gentle and good. She is definitely a good mama. It's fun to watch her bathe her babies and feed them. It is hard to imagine soon they will be big like their mama someday. Well I am quite content to sit back and take care of my sweet Fuzz. She is an inside cat for now considering her situation. We love her very much! I will definitely find her babies good homes when the time comes.

BlackBerry announces sales of 2.7 million Z10, Q10 smartphones in first quarter
BlackBerry has announced sales of 2.7 million Z10 and Q10 smartphones in the first six months 2013, despite competition with Apple and Android.
According to a press release accompanying BlackBerry's quarterly reports, of 6.8 million sales during the quarter, 2.7 million were BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10.
"During the first quarter, we continued to focus our efforts on the global roll out of the BlackBerry 10 platform," said Thorsten Heins, President and CEO of BlackBerry to the media.
"We are still in the early stages of this launch, but already, the BlackBerry 10 platform and BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 are proving themselves to customers to be very secure, flexible and dynamic mobile computing solutions," he said.
Despite low quantities being sold of the latest editions, the global company's revenues rose 9% to $3.1bn in the first fiscal quarter ending 1 June, up 15% from $2.7bn in the previous quarter.
The company, however, registered a net loss of $84mn compared with the fourth-quarter net income of $94mn and third-quarter net income of $14mn.
"Over the next three quarters, we will be increasing our investments to support the roll out of new products and services, and to demonstrate that BlackBerry has established itself as a leading and vibrant player in next-generation mobile computing solutions for both consumer and enterprise customers," Heins said.
The company stated that it would be posting net losses in the second quarter because of the market's competitiveness, especially with the existence of Android and Apple phones in the market.
The global subscriber base of BlackBerry has shrunk to 72 million users in the first fiscal quarter, down by 4 million subscribers.
The post BlackBerry announces sales of 2.7 million Z10, Q10 smartphones in first quarter appeared first on Daily News Egypt.

China raises stakes in dispute over islands
Beijing: Tensions between China and Japan over a group of disputed islands reached a flashpoint on Thursday as China said it has deployed naval ships around the islets for the first time and slammed Japan for "internationalising" the dispute by raising it at United Nations.
Chinese Defence Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun confirmed today that Chinese naval ships recently carried out patrolling and military training in waters off the Diaoyu Islands called Senkaku islets by Japan.
The confirmation came in response to Japanese media reports that two Chinese naval frigates were seen navigating waters off the Diaoyu Islands, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
This is the first time China has deployed naval frigates in the disputed waters. So far, it had been maintaining that it had sent a dozen maritime surveillance ships, akin to Coast Guard.
Also, over 1000 Chinese fishing boats which till recently kept off the area fearing detention by Japanese Coast Guard vessels began fishing around the waters.
Defending the move to deploy warships, Yang said Diaoyu Islands have been an inseparable part of Chinese territory since ancient times and it is legitimate for Chinese naval ships to carry out patrolling and training for military readiness in waters under Chinese jurisdiction.
Yang said the war of aggression by "Japanese militarists" had brought severe disasters to Asian people. "Japan should learn from history and strictly keep to a purely defensive policy to build trust with its neighbouring countries and the international society," he said.
Meanwhile, the state television slammed Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihido Noda for "internationalising" the island dispute by raking it up at the UN.
Noda, who addressed the UN General Assembly at New York, had told the media "as for the Senkakus, they are an inherent part of our territory in light of history and also under international law".
"There are no territorial issues as such. Therefore, there cannot be any compromise that represents a retreat from this position," he said.
In his speech at the UN Assembly Noda said "any state has a responsibility to protect peace, ensure the safety of its people, and protect its sovereignty, territorial land and sea. Japan will also fulfill such responsibility in accordance with international law," Noda said.
"Any attempt to realise a country's ideology or claim by unilateral use of force or threat is inconsistent with the fundamental spirit of the UN Charter and is against the wisdom of human being, thus absolutely unacceptable," he said.
Although the Japanese leader did not specifically mention the dispute with China, he was obviously trying to invoke international law and the UN Charter to justify his government's so-called "nationalisation" of the islands, Chinese state-run Xinhua news agency said terming the islands "Chinese territory since ancient times".
Reacting to Noda's comments, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Qin Gang said that ownership of the territory should be solved on the historical and legal basis.
Without naming Japan, Qin said that "some individual country" has ignored historical facts and international laws, openly violated territorial sovereignty of other countries, and openly denied the result of the world anti-fascist war.
"The country seriously challenges the post-war international order, but tries to take the rules of international law as a cover. This is self-deceiving. The country concerned must face up to history and earnestly abide by international legal principles, and cease all actions that infringe the territorial integrity and sovereignty of other countries," Qin was quoted as saying by Xinhua.
Meanwhile, a senior Chinese Communist Party leader Jia Qinglin appealed to Japanese people to help return China-Japan ties to the track of sound development.
"I hope Japanese people from all walks of life will take the general situation of bilateral ties into consideration, overcome current difficulties and work with the Chinese side to put the ties back on a track of sound development," Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) said at a meeting with Japanese people from various circles in Beijing.
The China-Japan spat intensified in recent weeks after Japan bought the islands from a private owner.
While thousands held marches in front of Japanese missions in China and in some cases damaged Japanese shops and factories, China has announced the islands as its baselines for its maritime boundary and submitted its claims to UN.
State-run CCTV on Thursday said the Japanese company Nissan has decided to halt production of its cars in factories in China.
Several of Japanese firms were hit by violent attacks during the recent protests.
The Foreign Ministers of the two countries held talks on the sidelines of UN General Assembly on Wednesday while Vice Foreign Ministers held talks here to restore normalcy.
