Among charges that cannot be levelled against Mark Thompson, the beleaguered director general of the BBC, are that he is aloof and uncommunicative, cringing sullenly in his ivory tower as controversy rages about him..
Arrogant? Maybe. Inconsistent? Arguably. Mealy-mouthed? Which public figure is not? But as for accessibility and accountability, it has been hard to flick the on switch of the radio this week without hearing his earnest, studiedly classless voice defending himself and his organisation against a two-pronged assault – first from those who want to see him share the licence fee with other broadcasters (known as top-slicing), and then from people who resent that same fee being blown on £100 bunches of flowers and bottles of champagne for stars who can well afford to buy their own.
On Wednesday he was interviewed at length on Radio 4's Media Show about top-slicing. Then yesterday morning he was subjected to a long interrogation on the Today programme about his and his colleagues' expenses, followed almost immediately by a similar ordeal on Radio 5 Live, where Nicky Campbell asked him why it was necessary for a man earning nearly £800,000 a year to claim for car-parking charges: "You get so much anyway." (His answer was that it wasn't really him; it was his chauffeur.)
The ethics of taking chunks of your organisation's air time for special pleading on your own behalf are questionable. Cynics might compare it with the compulsory circulation of the thoughts of the supreme leader of a totalitarian regime – even though those BBC employees who get the dubious honour of interrogating him make a show of asking him tough, gritty questions. Thompson calls it openness: others might see it as propaganda.
Controversy, of course, goes with the job. His five years at the helm began when he was parachuted from Channel 4 in 2004 to replace Greg Dyke, who had resigned following the Hutton inquiry's criticism of the BBC over the "dodgy dossier" on Iraq's non-existent arsenal.
The past nine months have been especially contentious, beginning with the row over Russell Brand's and Jonathan Ross's offensive telephone messages to Andrew Sachs, which in turn reignited the issue of stratospheric salaries being paid to star presenters. Then in January came Thompson's refusal to allow the broadcast of a charity appeal for the victims of the conflict in Gaza, on the grounds that it might be seen as overly partisan. Convinced that it was the right decision, safeguarding the BBC's reputation for impartiality, he stubbornly resisted the strong political pressure to reverse it.
Some of that unshakeable conviction and tough resolve no doubt stems from his education at Stonyhurst, the Jesuit boarding school in Lancashire. From there he went to Merton College, Oxford, where he won a special prize for English. Soon afterwards he joined the BBC as a trainee.
Singled out early on as a potential high-flyer, Thompson moved through a series of jobs in news and current affairs, serving on most of the major programmes of the time – Nationwide, Breakfast Time, Newsnight – until in 1988 he was made editor of the Nine O'Clock News. After a stint on Panorama, he assumed a number of executive positions, being made controller of BBC2 in 1996 and director of television in 2000.
This smooth, uninterrupted ascent of the corporate ladder, which would surely reach as high as the director general's office, was interrupted in 2002, when he was invited to apply to be head of Channel 4, replacing Michael Jackson. He was a natural choice, since his term as head of BBC2 had been widely admired: he had maintained the channel's audience share by backing such innovative comedy shows as The Royle Family, The Fast Show and I'm Alan Partridge.
The way he conducted the negotiations for the Channel 4 job highlighted his skills as an office politician. After applying, he learned that he was not the front-runner, so he decided to withdraw his application rather than be rejected. He was on the point of doing so when his rival, an American, dropped out, and his appointment was confirmed.
Nobody at the BBC regarded this as a defection. It was still thought likely that Thompson would become director general, and spending a few years with a commercial company would only strengthen his credentials.
Channel 4 is a more casual, less hierarchical organisation than the BBC, and Thompson responded to the environmental change by adopting the designer stubble and open-necked shirts that are now his trademark. He would have spent longer there but for Dyke's untimely departure; as it was, much of his time at Channel 4 was taken up with trying to negotiate a merger with Channel 5, which did not come about.
The way he left Channel 4 angered its chairman, Luke Johnson. He accused Thompson of being devious, in that he had promised to inform him of any approach from the BBC, but in the event did not do so. Johnson told Maggie Brown, the historian of Channel 4: "He's a good manager, Mark, but he's even better at his career management."
His colleagues respect him, even if they do not hold him in great affection. Unlike many heads of big organisations, he has no clique of trusted aides surrounding him. "He's a loner who keeps things close to his chest," says Dyke.
Living in Oxford with his American wife, Jane Blumberg, and their three children, he tries to separate his professional from his personal life. That strategy failed when it was revealed that he made the licence-payer foot the bill for flying the whole family back from Sicily when he had to break his holiday to make multiple apologies for the Russell Brand debacle.
While in his many radio interviews he presents an image of calm reason, he has occasionally been known to blow his top. Former colleagues at Channel 4 remember him using an unprintable scatological metaphor after a meeting with Tessa Jowell, then the minister responsible for broadcasting.
Greg Dyke believes Thompson has done well to sustain the BBC during a difficult period. At a time when all commercial broadcasters are suffering financially, the pressure to share the licence fee with them is sure to grow.
Last week's report by Lord Carter on the digital future added to that pressure. That is why the director general felt he had to respond to it in such sharp terms, pointing the finger at "a small group of people who have been ideologically focused more on the principle of getting a wedge into the licence fee ... rather than having a particular urgent need".
His critics say that he is himself partly to blame for this, having agreed to ring-fence part of the licence fee to fund the forthcoming switch to digital television and radio.
He seems determined, though, to hold the line there and fight ferociously against any further dilution of the BBC's position as sole recipient of the fee. Instead, he has suggested that the BBC might offer other media outlets free access to some of its news resources – an idea that has been greeted with little enthusiasm.
On the Today programme yesterday, Sarah Montague asked him why he needed such a high salary, seeing as he had a secure job in the public sector. He laughed at the assumption of security, pointing out that three of his four predecessors as director general – Alasdair Milne, Michael Checkland and Greg Dyke – had been forced out of office prematurely.
That fate is unlikely to befall such a canny and careful operator as Thompson, in part because there is no obvious successor. He has, too, made a point of forging good relations with the BBC Trust, the watchdog body that forced his predecessor out.
When he arrived, the watchdog was a Rottweiler, its mouth dripping with Dyke's fresh blood. Today it is a poodle, comfortably settled in Thompson's lap, contentedly wagging its tail in approval as he makes the case for keeping the whole licence fee to himself.
All the same, he may soon be seeking an exit strategy, especially if the decision on top-slicing goes against him. Dyke, who keeps in close touch with his successor, believes that the ideal term of office for a director general is from five to seven years. "I suspect he's into his later period," he declares.
And what then? History shows that ex-director generals find great difficulty in moving on from the top job in British broadcasting to anything remotely as satisfying. Do not be surprised if the steely and resourceful Thompson proves an exception.
A life in brief
Born: Mark John Thompson, 31 July 1957, London.
Family: Married an American academic, Jane Blumberg, in 1987. They live in Oxford and have two sons and one daughter.
Education: Attended Stonyhurst College, then Merton College, Oxford, where he graduated with a first in English.
Career: Joined the BBC in 1979 as a production trainee. Worked on Newsnight, and in 1988, at the age of 30, he became editor of the Nine O'Clock News. Subsequently edited Panorama, progressing to head of features, head of factual programmes, controller at BBC2, director of national and regional broadcasting, and director of television. In 2000 he left become chief executive of Channel 4, returning to the BBC in 2004 as director general.
He says: "Every one of these expenses in my view was reasonable and was justified. I don't believe that I've yet seen any evidence that a single one of these line-by-line expenses has been in any way unjustified."
They say: "He's a good manager, Mark, but he's even better at his career management." Luke Johnson, chairman of Channel 4

The one-dimensional totally asymmetric simple exclusion process and the totally asymmetric zero-range process are put into context, in order to derive its equilibrium fluctuations. We consider the processes evolving on the hyperbolic time scale and starting from the corresponding invariant states. For both processes taken on the hydrodynamic time scale, the temporal evolution of the limit density fluctuation field is deterministic, in the sense that the limit field at time t is a translation of the initial one. As a consequence of these results, it is possible to derive Central Limit Theorems for the current of particles and for a tagged particle, and the limit process turns out to be the Brownian motion. By considering these systems in a reference frame moving at the characteristic speed, the limit density fluctuation field does not evolve in time until a longer time scale n^4/3. To prove the later result, a Boltzmann-Gibbs Principle was shown by a multi-scale argument. As a consequence, the current across a characteristic vanishes on this longer time scale. These results should hold until n^3/2 and this is a step towards showing the universality behavior of the scaling exponent.

Actor Blake Lively says she has been obsessed with collecting art and has been a huge fan of paintings ever since her brother Eric encouraged her to start her own collection.
"My brother Eric thought it was important for me to have an awareness of art at a young age. He took me to an exhibition by Sage Vaughn at a warehouse in downtown Los Angeles and bought me my first piece. That experience ignited a hunger to see more art and collect it, however, I could," she said.

Location: About .5 from square nice walk or drive Very quiet and peaceful.
We were in the bear room cozy and clean had our own fireplace s which was great walking distance from square nice walk about .5 miles. Loved the twinkle lights, sheets and bedding soft and comfy breakfast was nice bob takes pride in his wonderful cooking. Loved his oatmeal. Only small negative was to possibly have a little more hard breakfast some egg dish on a Sunday morning would be nice or something New Mexican style.

Lovely Bed and BreakfastPosted Oct 19, 2016 on Hotels
John and Prudy are wonderful hosts. They make you feel at home. John makes delicious breakfast that you don't want to miss. The room was comfortable, with a Kiva (had the fire going each night I was there). My only suggestion would be that the bed be made with an extra sheet to separate the blanket/comforter from the fitted sheet if those are not replaced after guest. I'm sure the blankets were clean but looking at them, they looked worn out from use.

Scientists in the United States discovered the resistant superbugs in pills designed to populate the human gut with "healthy" bacteria. The superbugs proved to be resistant to the antibiotic vancomycin, which doctors hold in reserve to treat people who do not respond to conventional antibiotics.
Research commissioned by the The Independent has also found the same species of bacteria in health-food pills on sale in Britain. The packets do not state that the contents contain potentially harmful bacteria.
The findings have worried leading medical researchers because vancomycin is the "antibiotic of last resort". The presence of resistant superbugs in pills meant for human consumption can only increase the risk of spreading vancomycin resistance in the general population, causing a rise in untreatable diseases.
The discovery that some health-food pills on sale in Britain contain Enterococcus faecium - which can cause death from blood poisoning - has alarmed medical experts even though these particular samples were not vancomycin resistant.
Jeremy Hamilton-Miller, professor of microbiology at the Royal Free Hospital in London, said: "I don't see any reason for having these organisms in such pills. What you are doing is exposing the population to a very large number of Enterococcus faecium, which is a potentially nasty organism.''
This microbe has already caused serious outbreaks of infections in hospitals. If it becomes vancomycin resistant "you can't treat this microorganism with any currently available antibiotics. If a patient gets infected with it, there's nothing you can do'', he said.
Joseph John, professor of medicine at the University of Medicine and Dentistry in New Jersey, discovered vancomycin resistance in two health-food products sold in the US that are designed to populate the human gut with healthy bacteria.
Following the findings, which will be published in the new year, Professor John has asked the US Food and Drug Administration to investigate the sale of health food pills containing potentially dangerous superbugs.
The bacteria in the pills are supposed to colonise the human gut. Although there is usually a relatively small number of E. faecium in the gut of a healthy person, Professor John said he is concerned about it being sold in health-food supplements becauseit can cause serious infection if it enters the bloodstream.
Both professors have written to suppliers requesting samples of different batches for further testing. Professor John said the companies he has contacted have so far declined to co-operate. He refused to name them until further tests are done.
In Britain, Professor Hamilton-Miller tested 10 brands of bacterial pills at the The Independent's request. He found Enterococcus faecium in three pills where it was stated on the packet to contain the bacterium, and four others that claimed only to contain a harmless bacterium called Lactobacillus acidophilus.
The four brands found unwittingly to contain Enterococcus faecium were supplied by Lifeplan Products, of Lutterworth in Leicestershire, Blackmores of Colnbrook, Buckinghamshire, the Health and Diet Company in Manchester and Klaire Laboratories in San Marcos, California. None of the pills were made in the UK.
The three suppliers who had knowingly supplied the bacterium were Nature's Own of West Malvern, Hereford and Worcester, Quest Vitamins in Birmingham and Boehringer Ingelheim.

Invasive species have few natural predators or control agents, allowing them to reproduce and grow rapidly and threaten ecological stability, and the diversity and abundance of native species. They can also threaten our traditional uses of lakes and rivers for agriculture, domestic water supplies and recreation. Exotic species can be transported to new sites attached to boats, trailers, and equipment. Many of these invasive species have the ability to withstand extended periods of time out of water or in small amounts of water, making their transport to new locations possible.
Flathead Lake and the other waters of the Flathead watershed are at risk due to the potential for accidental introduction of invasive aquatic species. Zebra mussels, Eurasian watermilfoil, whirling disease, and New Zealand mud snails are a few of the destructive and aggressive invader species that threaten our waters.
Species specific information
We're assembled more detailed information on several of aquatic invasive species: Zebra mussels & other invaders.
Montana's action plan
In October 2002, Montana finalized a statewide management plan to deal with aquatic nuisance species, and in February 2004, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks hired a statewide coordinator to implement the plan. The main emphasis of the plan is to prevent the spread of these invaders into new locations. Once introduced into a new location, there is usually very little that can be done to mitigate the impacts.
Flathead Basin action plan
The Flathead Basin Aquatic Invasive Species Work Group formed in 2009 to expand efforts to prevent introductions of aquatic invaders in the watershed. Participants include resource management agencies from federal, state, tribal and local governments and conservation groups. The Flathead Basin Aquatic Invasive Species Action Plan was finalized in 2010 to guide our collaborative efforts and build prevention and education programs, as well as help secure funding for boat inspection and wash stations and other prevention strategies.
What YOU can do:
Before leaving any lake, river, or reservoir:
- Remove all plants, sediment or animals from your boat and trailer.
- Drain all water from your boat, including from the motor, live well and bilge. Do not transfer any water from one waterbody into another.
- Never release live bait into a waterbody or transport aquatic animals from one waterbody to another. Always discard unwanted bait with household trash in the landfill. Likewise, dispose of fish carcasses with trash.
Before launching your boat in a different body of water:
- Wash your boat, trailer and all fishing gear and equipment. High pressure hot water is best.
- Air dry your boat and equipment for as long as possible between fishing trips.
If you find a suspicious mussel or aquatic weed:
- Note the date and location where the sample was found.
- Store the mussel or a piece of the plant in rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol.
- Contact your local Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks office (Kalispell office – 752-5501) or call the Aquatic Nuisance Species Coordinator at 406-444-2448 as soon as possible. The earlier we detect a new infestation the better.
Volunteer and spread the word about preventing introductions of aquatic invaders:
- Contact the Flathead Lakers to volunteer for aquatic invasive species prevention and education projects.
- Share information about the threat of aquatic invaders and how to prevent their spread with your friends and neighbors.

Additional Information
About This Black Tie Mercantile SignatureTM Gift Box:
At a German trade fair in 1909, Adolf Ahlgren-a wholesaler from Gävle, Sweden-discovered an intriguing cough drop that was sold in German pharmacies. Soon after, the first Läkerol pastilles were introduced. By persuading royalty, Nobel Prize winners, politicians, and singers to extol the benefits of Läkerol, Ahlgren enabled his fledgling product to develop a strong following. The well-known "A" on the pastilles and packages stands not only as a mark of quality, but as a tribute to Läkerol's founder and the idea he championed: encouraging everyone to express themselves and make their voices heard.
Now get a Black Tie Mercantile SignatureTM Gift Box for any occasion featuring twelve 0.8 oz packages of Läkerol Raspberry Lemongrass Sugarfree Pastilles.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews
These little sweet candies, known as pastilles, are a unique and delicious confectionery that is meant to be consumed by light chewing and allowed to dissolve in the mouth. It is similar to a gummy in nature, but is not as quickly consumed. I enjoy keeping these little boxes of sweetness tucked away in my purse to eat when I've craving something sweet since the calorie count is extremely low (5 calories per 2 pieces) and there is no fat, cholesterol or sugar in these delicious treats. The raspberry lemongrass flavor is sweetened with stevia and is not tart in the least or overly sweet. Each piece lasts a long time in your mouth, so this is a great way to satisfy a craving when hunger strikes. I enjoy the fruity flavor and there is no after taste once consumed. It's made in Slovakia, so this is an interesting European twist in fruit flavored candies, not easily found in the US that is very enjoyable! If you like gummy candies, you will most likely like these as well. I did...

There ok.
These are a unique candy. You get a generous dozen cute little boxes, so you have extra for sharing (or hoarding). I love that they are sugar free but use natural sugar substitutes instead of junky artificial sweeteners. I was a little bit wary of tasting the candies since I really don't care for the smell of lemongrass. However, I was pleased to note that they taste strongly of raspberry, with only a hint of lemongrass, and there is no aftertaste. The texture is also unique. They start out being almost like hard candy, but as you suck on them they turn into more of a gummy candy consistency. I would rather they were just hard candy, but that's the only negative thing I noticed about these candies. I am thankful for the opportunity to have purchased these candies at a reduced rate in exchange for trying them out and leaving a review that reflects my honest opinion of them.

Nashik, Nov 21 (UNI) The District and Sessions court here today transferred the September 29 Malegaon blast case to a designated Maharashtra Control for Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court in Sewri, Mumbai.
The ATS had filed an application demanding the transfer of the case to MCOCA court at Mumbai in the court of Justice H K Ganatra, fourth joint civil judge, senior division, after it applied section three of the MCOCA on ten accused in the case.
The defence lawyers took strong objection to the transfer application as the district has two designated MCOCA courts.
They argued that the ATS wanted to shift the case to Mumbai for their own convenience. However, the court passed the order to shift the case.
Meanwhile, accused no 11 of the case, Sudhakar Chaturvedi, was also produced before Justice Ganatra. The ATS had also sought the transfer of his trial to designated Sewri MCOCA court, which the court allowed.
At the same time, Advocate Umesh Walzade, who is the defence lawyer for key accused of the blast case, Pragya Singh Thakur, said they will approach the High Court against the application of MCOCA on his client.

Lumus CEO says firm's troubles in Hanover won't affect Scituate wind turbine
Hanover, Mass. officials have accused Lumus Construction of falling short on an agreement to build a wind turbine in Hanover. Lumus' parent company CEO reportedly says its problems in one South Shore town won't affect a wind turbine it has already built in another.
Sumul Shah is CEO of Solaya Energy, which owns Lumus and Scituate Wind, the operating company of the 390-foot-tall, 1.5-megawatt wind turbine off Scituate's Driftway. He told the Patriot Ledger the Scituate turbine, owned in partnership with Cohasset-based Palmer Capital, won't be affected by problems in Hanover.
According to the Ledger, Hanover Town Manager Troy Clarkson has said the town plans to end its contract with Lumus and seek $700,000 in damages.

There's never a shortage of Wine, Photos, Phones, and Food in my life, but this week was a little different. I started the week last Sunday with 95.7 The Game's Raiders Opening Drive broadcasting live from The Meritage, then it was time for wine. I was able to explore the Crusher Wine District for the first time, visiting eight wineries (Avinodos, The Wine Foundry, Humanitas, Trinitas Cellars, J. Moss, Mi Sueño, Crosby Roamann, Y. Rousseau) in about four hours, all within 1.5 miles of The Meritage. It was so fun to see all the wineries and taste all of their fabulous wines ... I even purchased a few bottles for all the holiday celebrations coming up soon. After a day of wine, Siena offered the perfect dinner and it was my first time to try the new Fall menu ... Fritto Misto, Brussels sprouts, halibut, and a pork chop (I shared).
Crush held a special event to Honor Our Heroes with a special menu that included some very tasty pork ribs and short rib poutine, along with some specialty cocktails. Lots of money was raised for the Yountville Veterans Home through the food, the drinks, and a raffle. Veterans Day was also the start of a massive photo shoot. After a walk through of The Meritage and our hillside vineyards, we took some pictures of bowling in Crush, and then got ready for the big day on Thursday.
I woke up at 3:30 a.m. and work started right away as I started to get everything ready for a day long photo shoot of the resort with our new ad agency. By sunrise we were already taking pictures of bikes in the vineyards, the vines, and painting on the Vineyard Deck. The rest of the day brought more opportunities to showcase our beautiful property including the spa, Crush, the pool, Trinitas, the Estate Cave, and other views and special spots around the resort.
To wrap up the day I met up with our outside reservations team for a family style dinner in Siena. Our culinary team and chef never cease to amaze me with fabulous food. Fritto Misto, duck, scallops, massive pork chops, and dessert.
Friday I was back in Roseville to finish out the work week and then celebrate my birthday with friends. We enjoyed dinner at Zocalo in the Fountains, followed by a very tasty homemade peanut butter inspired cheesecake. Saturday, I bought my birthday gift to me .... an iPhone 6s after waiting in line for a little while before Sam's Club opened, I was rewarded with a $250 gift card and my first new phone in about three years (upgraded from the iPhone 5).
Photos for those with iPads.

Backlink building is amongst the oldest and the majority of effective SEO tactics. It`s also just about the most productive approaches to grow organic search traffic.
Historically, links were how Google discovered which websites were good: a web link was really a recommendation, so websites with more links ranked higher. Google let the web select how good each page was. Consequently, Google updates have largely been about getting ahead of efforts to game this procedure by acquiring unearned links.
We`re now with a point where only get backlinks still reliably work. It`s basically impossible to beg, borrow, steal, or buy links effectively. All you could do is earn them. But you will still find smart ways to do that. And a number of them permit you to piggyback in your competitors successes simultaneously!
Google has warned against guest posting and put lots of people off. But premium quality, targeted guest posts will vary from the mass-produced, low-value posts that have been a staple of many SEO strategies some time ago. Done correctly, guest blogging is definitely an effective backlink building tool.
The very first thing you need to do is get the best guest blog spot you are able to. Identify sites which may take your guest post by scoping from the competitors guest posts. To have an example here, I`ll use Neil Patel, which suggests we`ll get plenty of search results.
Start out with an advanced Internet search, making use of the author`s name in quotation marks along with the words guest post also in quotation marks. Add the author`s home domain with a minus logon front so that all those results is going to be excluded.
The HubSpot and Forbes outcomes are actually articles by Neil Patel; the others mention him in pieces about guest posting. Since Patels name is everywhere online, it may help to narrow this down just a little. So a substitute is to search within the URL and identify the writer since the author, which means you don`t get anything that`s about the subject or perhaps mentions them.
This is way better than Google. Not only are we seeing more of what we`re trying to find, but we now have sharing and backlink data straight away around the sidebar.
Should your competitor had been featured on the site, there`s a good chance exactly the same site will require you, too. Since you`ve tracked down some sites, pitch for them via their write for people like us form or email the editor.
Next, you need to get the most effective guest post link(s) you are able to. Guest blogging functions to build links because you can put links to your site within your post, in most cases inside your author bio.
Ensure the links are contextual, when you can, rather than hidden in author bios where they are less likely to be clicked and where Google doesn`t love them the maximum amount of. The easiest way to get a natural contextual link is always to treat that resource exactly as you will when it was someone else`s. Just input it in naturally, and employ anchor text that describes its relevance, not to your website. And stay generous. Within the top search result above, Patel links in the market to Quicksprout once, as well as Moz, Copyblogger, and a lot of other places at the same time.
Public relations within the context of backlink building basically means using the same ways to get backlink that you could use to have press.
If you wish to become source, join to HelpaReporter, and they`ll let you know whenever they need someone with the skills for an interview.
Also, consider classic PR moves like press releases. Bloggers and journalists hoover up information, so if anything has happened there is a new integration, client, product, feature help it become easy to find. Then you`re probably be associated with in any article that covers the subject.
Where the majority of people get press announcements wrong is overuse of key phrases links. That`s one of many factors most likely to trigger a Penguin penalty. Instead, use your press release to field a number of anchors linking to your site.
Additionally, pr releases may still be included in directories and databases, making them an even better SEO tool.
Even if you get mentioned, though, there`s no actual guarantee that the people referencing you will provide you with a hyperlink. Sometimes things slip from the net. When that happens, it could be worthwhile to arrive at out and remind them that you`d like to be connected to.
Even good, well-maintained websites suffer from linkrot. Links lead to a location online, but as websites move their content around, eventually, some links will cause empty locations. Users arrive seeking a resource and look for a vacant lot.
Broken backlink building fixes this and gets you links. It relies upon finding broken links, identifying the material they talk about, then supplying the referring site the opportunity to refer over to newer, unbroken content yours.
Everyone wins: website visitors see more up-to-date, useful content and much less 404s; sites don`t have a whole bunch of broken links; and you get yourself a high-quality backlink. For marketers, it becomes an effective way of getting two birds with one stone: you get a post built round the right keywords, and, unlike a guest post, you get to 38dexapky it. Thus if anyone uses it a resource, those links come straight back. However you get link juice up front, too.
Begin with identifying a web site that you`d similar to a backlink from. For those who have keywords determined, hunt for them and identify sites that rank for these people. Then look at those sites in Ahrefs and identify a broken link.
Make use of the function in Site Explorer to determine about us. Let`s examine Copyblogger, a copywriting blog. Remember to check under outgoing links or you`ll get broken backlinks that lead to Copyblogger, not from this.

I have terminated my Colour Service to take advantage of the AFCS GIP and I have always had the desire to become a Pilot. Attempting to transfer to the AAC is not an option due to the medical requirements, therefore that leaves the Civil option, however after conducting some research on the Internet i have found there is conflicting information with acceptable medical standards (ie, can someone who is educated and fit but has a Prosthetic leg still fly?) Funding for the courses is not an issue, I have emailed the CAA but not had a response. Either way any help wouuld be great. Regards

Yorkshire is probably most famous for the invention of Yorkshire puddings first described in a 1737 a recipe for 'A dripping pudding' published in The Whole Duty of a Woman and suggested to cook "under a shoulder of mutton, instead of a dripping pan".
Comparatively larger than many other English counties, the landscape of Yorkshire is widely considered to be among the greenest in England due to huge areas untouched countryside in the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors and to the open aspect of some of the major cities.
Some of Yorkshire's most notable contributions to media include the album 'Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars' recorded in nearby Hull by Yorkshire's own David Bowie and his band; backdrop to the successful sitcom Last of the Summer Wine, the drama series Heartbeat, and soap opera Emmerdale. Last of the Summer Wine is famous for the record of longest-running comedy series in the world, from 1973 and still going!

INABA/SALAS on J-WAVE Radio: Pre-Show Interview Summary
Yesterday in Japan, Koshi Inaba and Stevie Salas appeared on the J-WAVE radio program 「SAPPORO BEER OTOAJITO」 for a live interview on LINE LIVE. The event, hosted by Japanese-American radio personality Chris Peppler, was facilitated in English and Japanese and can be viewed in archive form here. Keep in mind this is for the pre-show segment, which does not include the usual live audience.
The stream began with the below commercial for the album that featured two new songs: 「AISHI-AISARE」 and 「OVERDRIVE」. Notably, the program closes with an alternate version that swaps the order (also included).
Peppler kicked off the segment with introductions prior to asking the two whether they felt this was a "project" or a "band". Salas jokingly interjected to add that, "I don't know if you know this, but he has a pretty big, famous band already." He continued by responding to an inquiry about the origin of the project, saying, "Sometimes as musicians you want to get together between your regular work to get re-inspired." The source of the album's title was described by Salas as something that has a groove that's "chubby". Stevie compared the etymology of the phrase with "that's phat". The idea of depicting a pig on the cover came from the Nashville, Tennessee recording sessions where the studio owner's pet pig chased Koshi around at one point.
Stevie also humorously recounted the time when he and Koshi first hung out over twenty-five years ago: "Many, many, many years ago [in the early 90s], he came to my house with Tak, in the Hollywood Hills. Tak and I used to go out and do a lot of drinking. Koshi doesn't drink so much, but he was drinking with us this time. Me and Tak were talking, talking, talking and next time I look over, Koshi is asleep—in the night club. So I carried Koshi, on my shoulders, while he was asleep, all the way out and up the hill to my house. I laid him on my couch on a pillow and gave him a blanket." Koshi laughed and clarified, "But, no blanket."
"Koshi is one of the greatest rock singers in the world and I've worked with the biggest rock singers in history, if you think about it," and went on to mention some of those he's worked with in the past, including Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, and Justin Timberlake. "Koshi is one of those greats that mostly only people in Japan know about because he sings in Japanese. But, if you really are an artist, then you know he is one of those top, top guys."
The new INABA/SALAS collaborative album CHUBBY GROOVE is due for release on January 18, 2016. You can pre-order the album at the usual places: [YesAsia] [CDJapan] and [Amazon Japan]. Their joint tour "CHUBBY GROOVE TOUR 2017" kicks off January 25 and runs through a showing at Diamond Hall in Nagoya on February 20.
INABA/SALAS 「TROPHY」 WOWOW 2017 Tennis Season Image Song
The track 「TROPHY」 off Koshi Inaba's and Stevie Salas' upcoming collaborative album 「CHUBBY GROOVE」 will be used by Japanese TV channel WOWOW as image song for their broadcasts of the 2017 tennis season, starting with the Brisbane International held from January 1 - 8, 2017.
What's more, Koshi Inaba sat down with Japanese tennis superstar Kei Nishikori for a special "tennis conversation". The conversation is going to be aired on WOWOW on December 31st from 4PM Japanese Time. A director's cut edition of the conversation will be posted to Koshi Inaba's official website en-zine on January 1.

financial advice
Following a string of customer complaints against NAB's financial planners, on 21 October, 2015, the corporate regulator ASIC announced that an agreement had been reached with NAB (formerly National Australia Bank) whereby the bank will be contacting customers who may have received non-compliant financial advice since 2009.
What is the NAB Financial Advice Remediation program?
NAB has begun what they refer to as a "look back" process intended to identify customers who were negatively affected by advice given. Clients identified by this process will have their files reviewed to determine if compensation should be paid.
NAB will also provide affected customers with financial assistance up to $5,000 plus GST to seek professional independent advice where appropriate.
Have you been affected by bad advice from NAB financial planners?
If you are a current or former client of NAB in any state or territory of Australia, who received what you believe to be poor financial advice from a planner, and are unhappy with the performance of your investments, you should seek independent legal advice.
You may have a claim even if you did not receive advice directly from NAB, if you were advised by one of its subsidiaries, being:
- JBWere
- Plum
- Apogee
- Godfrey Pembroke (Financial Advice Specialists)
- Garvan Financial Planning
- Meritum
For legal advice regarding this matter contact Maurice Blackburn.
Get independent advice before accepting any offer
If you have been offered financial compensation by NAB, It is worth getting independent legal advice before accepting. When offers of financial compensation are made, it can be tempting to take the first offer and put the experience behind you. In general however, the first offer is almost never the best one, and some cases have seen up to seven reviews before settling on a final – and significantly higher - offer of compensation.
That's where Maurice Blackburn's financial experts can help you. Contact us today.
It doesn't cost you anything to know where you stand
We take calls 24/7

ABOUT 30 terrorists suspected to be member of Boko Haram have met their waterloo in the hands of Nigerian troops when they attempted to ambush a convoy of local government officials and travellers along Bama road after Nguro-Soye.
The troops from 121 Task Force Battalion Pulka, were escorting local officials from Pulka to Maiduguri when the incident occurred on Saturday morning.
The Chairman Caretaker Committee of Gwoza Local Government Council, Hon Saeed Salisu Sambo, who was in the convoy disclosed that the terrorists detonated Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and followed with sporadic gun shots, which was immediately repelled by the gallant troops.
The troops pursued and dealt with the armed attackers with military precision.
Saeed who was full of praises for the Nigerian troops told PRNigeria that no life was lost on the side of the troops and civilians.
He said: "I must commend the gallantry of the troops led by the duo patrol commanders of the 121BN Captain S. Suleiman and Lt. N. Ayuba."
Some soldiers who were injured during the encounter are presently receiving medical attention at Brigadier Maimalari Barracks Hospital.
An emergency worker, who pleaded anonymity, also confirmed counting the bodies of about 30 Terrorists killed after the encounter.
Meanwhile, as part of efforts to ensure a crime-free environment within FCT and its environs, troops of Guards Brigade arrested one 39 year old impostor named Miss Gumel Juliana at Dutse Alhaji, Bwari Area Council of FCT on November 24, 2016, at about 1415hrs (2:15 pm) who has been parading herself as a Major serving with the Nigerian Army Medical Corps.
Preliminary investigations and search conducted at her residence revealed that her real name is Jummai Ann Ayuba born in December 1973 (42 years old) and a mother of three year old boy named Dominion.
More so, she was discovered to own and run an unregistered and unlicensed El-sone clinin and maternity located at Bmuko Village by Tipper Garage, Dutse, off Bwari Expressway, FCT since November 2014 as a fake doctor where she also lives in a makeshift room.
After a thorough search of the impostor, some military items were recovered from her.
It was revealed that the impostor is from Kaduna State and she procured the Nigerian Army Identity Card at a business centre and claimed to have been given the uniform, rank and name tag from a source yet to be confirmed.
The impostor's house and clinic have been sealed off as a crime-scene and for public health safety pending handover of the impostor and case to the Nigeria Police at the end of the investigation.
However, the news of the impostor that went viral on social media on the claims that she was arrested along Keffi-Abuja Road with children strapped with bombs is totally false, the Nigerian Army said.
Also, the concocted story that some of the strapped children have been drafted to specific targets at markets and motor parks in Abuja to detonate the bombs is not true.

Ever since I photographed Ann and Will's summer vineyard engagement session in Niagara, I couldn't be more excited to photograph their wedding day. There is something so special about the two of them together. So much chemistry. So much love. So much fun. The best part of photographing Ann and Will is that I just have to photograph them as they are. Rather than giving them too much direction, I'd rather let them interact with each other, capturing their incredible energy and love for each other. It is truly out of this world.

When I walked into the hotel room of where Gillian was getting ready at, I knew that this was going to be a fun Ascott Parc Vaughan wedding. Gillian and her bridesmaids were all dressed in matching red robes looking pretty. But one of my favourite moments was when Gillian's father walked in and she started tearing up. I'm so glad I was able to capture moments like this. When we arrived at the Ascott Parc, the sun was glowing. It could not have been any more beautiful.

Aid groups are concerned about civilians in the area. Allen Dhynes, a Jerusalem-based communication manager for the aid group World Vision, said residents of Gaza have no power and that fuel is scarce.
"Prior to the violence, there was only an average of eight hours of power a day, and now it's maybe only one hour a day," he told NPR from Portland, Ore., where he has been in contact with colleagues in Gaza.
"Gaza has been under a severe blockade and was already living under dire poverty before any of this occurred, so this is just an overwhelming burden for the population," Dhynes said.
Between 350 and 450 foreigners were authorised by Israel to leave Gaza if they wish, via the forbidding concrete corridor that ushers them into Israel's fortified crossing point and its panoply of security scanners to detect hidden suicide bombs.
Israel launched the aerial campaign Saturday in a bid to halt weeks of intensifying Palestinian rocket fire from Gaza. The offensive has dealt a heavy blow to Hamas, but has failed to halt the rocket fire. New attacks Friday struck apartment buildings in a southern Israeli city. No serious injuries were reported.

We all need to eat dark green leafy vegetables because they are low in calories and fat but high in vitamins, dietary fibers and nutrients. We should be eating 1/2 cup of dark green leafy vegetables per day but if, like me, you don't really like them, then this smoothie is for you. Not only are all the goodness in these vegetables left intact because no cooking is involved, but also it is a much more palatable way of consuming these superfood. Don't be put off by the list of ingredients, the beauty of this smoothie is that you can put in anything you like or have at hand. Also, thanks to Thermomix, you don't need a juicer to turn leafy vegetables into a drinkable smoothie because its blending power will grind them into a very fine pulp. The same is true of fruits and hard vegetables, so not only do you get their vitamins, but also their fibers! You can put in a whole apple (you don't even need to peel it!) or a whole carrot and Thermomix will turn it into the smoothest of drinks, how brilliant is that??
Source: inspired by Dr Oz Green smoothie recipe
Serves 3
A handful of dark green leafy vegetables (kale, spinach, green cabbage, celery…), washed
1 lemon or 1/2 lemon and a lime or 1 orange, peeled
300g water (I used kefir water for added probiotic!)
1 whole apple, quartered
1 ripe banana (fresh or frozen), cut in chunks
3 dattes or 1 tbsp honey
2cm piece of ginger
4 or 5 ice cubes
Optional: seeds such a sunflower, sesame, pumpkin, flax seeds…
- Place all the ingredients except ice cubes into the TM bowl and blend 1 minute/speed 8.
- Add the ice cubes and blend for 1 minute/speed 8.
- Serve immediately for optimal health benefits

Domestic Violence Later in Life
by Judy Van Brodjesky
Our society's awareness of domestic abuse has certainly increased since the first shelters were established in the 1970's. But 30 years later we still have three times more animal shelters than shelters for abused women and children. Change takes a very long time, and we still have far to go.
Most of us imagine a victim of domestic abuse to be a young woman. In fact, statistics reveal the average age of victims is between 18 and 24. But there exists an invisible population of victims in our society. They are the wives and mothers who married 40 or 50 years ago, at a time when tradition held strong that duty was to husband, children and home.
Older victims of domestic abuse face additional obstacles compared to their younger counterpart. She may have never worked outside the home or had any involvement with money matters. She may have no retirement or pension plan of her own and must depend on her partner's social security. Her need for health coverage becomes vital to her well being, especially if health problems emerge. Any self-esteem she had has been destroyed over the many years of abuse. Depression and guilt sets in for not leaving when her children were younger.
Statistics now reveal the psychological damage inflicted upon children from violent homes can last a lifetime. Her adult children may even resent her for not leaving sooner. His abuse may have lessened over the years, but the scars upon her soul run deep. She feels broken, alone and ashamed to ask for help.
Abusers use many tactics to keep control over their victims. They often tell us the psychological abuse leaves more emotional pain than any physical attack. The following are some of the tactics used by abusers:
- Threatens to leave, divorce, commit suicide or have her institutionalized;
- Abuses or kills pets or prized livestock;
- Denies access to church or clergy and isolates her from family and friends;
- Humiliates, demeans and ridicules her;
- Takes away her walker, wheel-chair, glasses, dentures and makes her miss medical appointments;
- Steals money, titles, or possessions;
- Takes over accounts and bills and abuses a power of attorney.
Some tactics may seem small, but over the years they wear down the victim's sense of identity. Bonnie Brandl with The Wisconsin Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Jane Raymond with the Wisconsin Bureau on Aging and Sharon Lewandowski with the Department of Health and Family Services have worked tirelessly to better understand the special needs of older victims. Because of their efforts, some domestic abuse agencies have received additional funding for specialized programming.
The Women's Community, Inc. in Wausau is privileged to have received one of the grants for the Northern Region. We offer a support group for women over 50 and provide counseling, housing assistance, legal and medical advocacy, information and referral for employment, and budget counseling.
Our daughters need to see that violence is never acceptable; that they deserve to be treated with respect. They will be watching their mothers and grandmothers. If we can reach out to older victims, we can offer them options and support. They may never be able to leave their relationships, but they will know that the abuse is not their fault. They will know that they are not alone.
Judy Van Brodjeski is the Transitional Living Program Coordinator and the Domestic Abuse in Later Life Specialist at The Women's Community in Wausau, 715-842-5663.
