This was a Fortune Cookie message I got at the 2011 Travel Bloggers Unite Conference in Manchester; maybe making money from a blog is COULD happen? Travel writers from all over the world came together to share ideas, discuss latest trends in blogging, learn more about developing blogs and to network. Also attending were some of this country's most influential travel PR agencies and travel businesses
There were a number of 'How To' sessions, including talks on how to make your blog a magnet for possible income generation. Some travel bloggers are succeeding in making money and they shared their experience and views. Here are some tips that came out of discussions during the day:
◦Do your research – check out demographics, trends, business year ahead
◦Stay up to date with latest technology, social media, business direction
◦Be consistent – identify your brand, style, voice, persona that you feel comfortable with and stick with it
◦Tell a story – make it compelling. Don't just do the obvious – find an angle that will appeal
◦Write for other bloggers, especially those who you admire, respect and value
◦Get other bloggers to write for you – Guest Posts share the word & generate more exposure
◦Develop relationships with PR companies, advertisers and business-related contacts – it's about people not commodities
◦Use Social Media ie Face Book, Twitter, StumbleUpon, YouTube, Fickr, LinkedIn to promote your blog – and be generous about promoting others
◦When sponspors/advertisers approach you, think carefully about pricing and what you want from it. Ask for advice and don't undersell your blog
◦Have a Rates Card so you can send it to potential advertisers, sponsors
◦Be reliable in your delivery. Get a publishing schedule and deliver the goods on time.
◦Work hard – it will only happen if you stay focused and put in the hours
Keith Jenkins of Velvet Escape
This just gives a flavour of some of the ideas generated by the event. Keith Jenkins, of Velvet Escape gave an insight into his journey to financial success and an expert panel of travel bloggers shared their knowledge and answered questions on how to monetise a blog.

We haven't posted a Peach Bites column in a while so we have built up quite a backlog. There has been a lot of buzz about water and transit over the past month and we've tried to capture the highlights in today's post.
Georgia to Appeal Water Ruling - Who didn't see this one coming? We'll see what happens but one thing I know for sure, the federal government will not cut millions of people off from their water source. Well, I'm not 100% sure about that but politicans want votes and thirsty people don't vote for the politicians who let them go thirsty... - GPB
New Reservoir Proposed for North Georgia - I don't know what to think of this one. On one hand, I say it may be a good idea since it will set aside 8,000 acres of the 10,000 acres of wilderness that the city owns in the Dawson Forest. However, the other tells me that $650 million to build a dam that will disrupt natural habitat is insane when we haven't exhausted our water conservation efforts. Atlanta Business Chronicle
Clayton County Among Nation's Most 'Water Wise' Counties - American Rivers recently named Clayton County one of the nation's most "water wise" communities. The wetland filtration system that Clayton County created years ago is integral to its ranking. While keeping wetlands in tact, Clayton County was able to maintain a 230 day drinking water supply at the height of the drought while Lake Lanier was as low as 90 days. This is a win for the environment and for the people of Clayton county. - Atlanta Business Chronicle
Half a Penny for Metro Transportation Just Not Worth the Trouble - If you've ever been in sales (or politics), you learn quickly that compromise rarely means mean win-win. Moving from a penny sales tax to a half-penny sales tax increase is a compromise that panders to political pressure and doesn't follow logic or the spirit of the tax. It's boring stuff but worth a read if you are interested in the future (or lack thereof) of transit in Georgia. - Saporta Report
MARTA Could Run the Beltline - Sure... Let's see if MARTA can run MARTA first... I have my thoughts on MARTA and it's future but that's not for a Peach Bite comment. I'm sure it's inevitable and it would make for the most seamless transit experience but MARTA just has so many issues. There is a better way and I'll touch on that in a later post. - AJC
Atlanta Streetcar Makes Pitch for Public Funding - I'm a huge proponent of the Peachtree Streetcar. Unfortunately, I get the feeling that the only reason other people are excited about it is because it is really the only 'shovel ready' transit project in Atlanta that affords us the opportunity to get some government cheese. If we do build it, my prediction is that it will be wildly successful. Expect to hear something from the Feds by Feb 2010. - Saporta Report
Atlanta-Chattanooga MagLev Rail Gets Dose of Cash - This could be one of the first steps taken in the south to connect the region with a 21st century transit system. The Federal Transit Administration is providing $14.2 million to pay for environmental and engineering studies on a MagLev train that could connect the two cities. Imagine zipping to Chattanooga in 30 minutes. This would be good for business, recreation and image. - AJC
MagLev Train Shuttle to Braves Stadium? - Okay... Do I really think we need this?? NO. But, it would be crazy cool. Stepping back to reality though, let's take that money and move it to the Beltline. Or just build a regular train service. MagLev is totally unnecessary for this type of shuttle system. Let's focus on the Atlanta-Chattanooga MagLev. - Atlanta Unsheltered
Beltline Names New CEO - Brian Leary, vice president of Atlantic Station, was recently named the new CEO of Atlanta Beltline Inc. This looks to be a good move. With this though, I am predicting a change of the northwestern path of the Beltline to now cut through Atlantic Station instead of going to the north and west of it. We shall see.. - Creative Loafing
Beltline's Feasibility Rides to Forefront - The worrisome thing about the Beltline is that the financial plan around securing funding is primarily based on increasing property tax revenues. The plan was devised prior to the real estate market crash back in 2005 and hasn't been changed. Finding $1.7 billion from property tax revenues might prove impossible in the new environment. Personally, I believe that the project is integral to the city and the 'leadership' will find a way to make it happen regardless. - AJC
Metro Atlanta Needs a Metro Solution to Transportation - Jay Bookman gives some very interesting insight on the history of transportation planning in the state and the current and future needs. A really notable fact is that the state of Georgia ranks 49th in per capita dollars spent on transportation. The other was that metro Atlanta accounts for ~28% of transportation spending. I wanted to see if that was proportionate to the population and found that it is significantly below. Approximately 60% of the residents of GA live in the metro area. We need to let to politicians know that change is needed. - Jay Bookman (AJC)
MARTA Wins Solar Energy Grant - Marta is planning to use $10.8 million in federal grants to put solar panels on top of bus canopies. The panels will be installed at the Laredo Bus Maintenance Facility in Decatur. This will be the largest PV system in GA. - Atlanta Business Chronicle
Atlanta Bests San Francisco for Green Building - For some reason, Atlanta doesn't seem to get the respect it deserves in this area. We're good but we could be better. Right now, we're 5th in the nation in LEED certified buildings at 53. Chicago has 88, Portland has 73, Seattle has 63 and DC has 57. San Fran is right behind us at 50. - San Francisco Chronicle via Chicago Tribune
Lovett's New Green Middle School - The unfortunate thing is that most Atlantans can't afford to send their kids to Lovett. But, the school's commitment to sustainability and environmental issues is something to be commended. The new facility is seeking LEED Gold certification and has a green roof and rainwater harvesting system among other features. - WSBTV
Going Green Pays Off - Man, I hate the phrase "going green." What does it mean? It seems to me that it's up to anyone's interpretation. Am I 'going green' because I use CFLs or bring reusable shopping bags to Whole Foods for my groceries?? Well, that's not the point of the article. The exciting thing that I took from this article is that the Westin downtown will finally be replacing the windows lost during the tornado. And... those windows will be thicker, darker and better insulating. There are a few other buildings that are highlighted like 1180 Peachtree and the Emory University Conference Center Hotel. - AJC
Don Wells Named Atlanta's 2009 Cox Conserves Hero - Mountain Stewards, Wells' non profit organization, will receive a $5,000 donation from Cox Enterprises. - Trust for Public Land
Recycling Pick-Up Back On in the City of Atlanta - How exciting! Recycling! Wow! How are other cities going to compete with us now that we have recycling again? We are truly 'going green' here in Atlanta. - The Buckhead Blog
Stay tuned for next week's installment of Peach Bites. Feel free to send me any articles or stories that you come across at firstname.lastname@example.com

Actually i have to pass some values in query string from one site another both are in kentico,
Now i want to secure the data by using Asymmetric encryption.
Is that possible in kentico ?
If possible please provide me the solution.
Note: I want to write ASCX code to encrypt and decrypt the data.
This may be difficult as the encryption helper Kentico provided most likely only works on the same instance of Kentico (unless the other site is housed on the same server). Encryption usually required a key to encrypt and decrypt.
If they are two sites on the same Kentico instance, the try the encryptionhelper class too encrypt and decrypt, although may be more secure to store value in a temporary table and just pass that records guid.
If they are separate instance, may need to use your own custom encryption so you can control the cypher keys
I'll add that i'm pretty sure on the above, but it's possible that you can use the EncryptionHelper encrypt and decrypt across different kentico instances, i'm not sure if it's like macro signatures that can be invalid on other environments unless they have the same key. You can try and see if it works.
Thanks Trevor Fayas
Consider that the sites are same of different domain aliases, now i'm implementing auto login for its domain alias for that i'm passing the user details to domain alias autologin page to login, now the Encryption helper takes same key for its domain alias also or not.
I was referencing the below, but it looks like this is Symmetric encryption vs. assymetric
This may be fine as Kentico holds the "Key" for the symmetric encryption, so that doesn't get exposed, but it does mean that theoretically if someone gets the token and has a kentico installation they can decrypt it themselves.
You would have to implement your own Asymmetric encryption algorithm and class that you could create the public/private key. I don't see anything built into Kentico i'm afriad :(
Another option though, is if you are just looking to pass data between your two sites, if they use the same database you can store the information there and just pass a GUID to that record, OR if they are on different databases but you the databases can 'see' each other, you can create a sql database link and direct query the other database from the first.
Likewise, you can use the ConnectionHelper.GetConnection and pass the other database's connection information so you can query from the other database, and again just pass a GUID. This way only the row GUID is visible and means nothing to any spys.
Please, sign in to be able to submit a new answer.

Since the beginning of the evil rampage of barbarism and death launched by Daesh in Syria and Iraq (and elsewhere) a few years ago, thousands of individuals from various other countries have been lured into the terrorist cause and have travelled into that region and beyond to participate in some way.
Working closely with their international partners, Canada's excellent security, intelligence and police agencies have identified approximately 250 of these so-called "extremist travellers" with a connection to this country who have journeyed to various locations overseas. About 60 are back in Canada, while some 190 remain abroad, including many who are likely dead.
Over the past two years, the totals in each of these two categories have fluctuated a small amount, but have remained largely stable overall. Some of these people would have engaged in actual terror combat in Syria and Iraq. Others would have been financiers, facilitators and lesser lights of various kinds in the region. Some would have been in other theatres like Afghanistan and Somalia. For security reasons, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) does not publish a detailed breakdown.
While the overall numbers linked to Canada are small compared to other countries, we take an alert and clear-eyed view of the threat these terrorists pose. So far, there has been no significant recent surge, going in or coming out, but our concern relates to what may lie ahead.
Through the last several months, with Canada's multi-faceted participation, the Global Coalition Against Daesh has scored major victories on the battlefield, including the re-taking of the city of Raqqa. Combat activity now seems to be winding down. But this doesn't mean the terror threat is over; it's simply morphing into different forms.
For one thing, Daesh is becoming increasingly aggressive on the virtual battlefield of the Internet—pushing its vile ideology, trying to recruit new adherents, and counselling terrorist attacks around the world, often aimed at so-called "soft" targets and using simple weapons like knives and vehicles.
Secondly, without a real battlefield to occupy, Daesh and the terrorist travellers who have joined them could be increasingly on the move, sometimes with new spouses and young families recently acquired. Where will they go—Africa, Asia or Europe? Of those who originated in North America, how many will come back here? Expert analysis suggests it may not be a big number—for those who aren't already dead, it may be hard to leave.
But we need to be as ready as humanly possible. These are people who have travelled into a terrorist hotbed with the intention of participating in the depravity. They have been "inspired", trained and hardened. They have some actual experience in a war zone. And a perverse "celebrity" status in the eyes of their adherents.
CSIS, the RCMP, the Canada Border Services Agency and our other security, intelligence and law enforcement agencies—whose skill and expertise are second to none—work constantly to know as much as we possibly can about every threat to the national security of Canada and the safety of Canadians. That work is carried out 24/365 in close collaboration with our allies in NATO, the Five Eyes, the G-7, the EU, Interpol and others. All available data is steadily and expertly assessed and re-assessed to ensure that we are current and effective.
Canada's full range of counter-terrorism tools are in use, including on-going investigations, surveillance and monitoring, intelligence gathering and lawful sharing, the collection of criminal evidence, criminal charges and prosecutions whenever possible, other Criminal Code tools like peace bonds and public listings, expert threat assessments, no-fly lists, the revocation of passports, and legally authorized threat disruption measures.
The suite of measures to be used in respect of any particular individual or situation is determined by the RCMP, CSIS and Canada's other expert authorities. Their decisions are professional, not political. And we are putting in place a whole new National Security Policy Framework (Bill C-59) for the proper scrutiny, transparency and accountability of all the departments and agencies of the Government of Canada that have a security or intelligence role—to ensure they are effective at keeping Canadians safe and safeguarding rights and freedoms.
Enforcement is the priority, but public safety and security also demand a prevention strategy. In fact, to quote Dr. Lorne Dawson of the Canadian Network for Research on Terrorism, Security and Society, "…all the G-20 nations are convinced of the need to move into prevention programming because in the long-term it's our best bet … you can't arrest your way out of this problem. It's too big and pervasive around the world."
That's why our government has just launched a new centre to coordinate, bolster, help fund and share the disparate counter-radicalization programming that currently exists across the country. It's called the Canada Centre for Community Engagement and Prevention of Violence. If we can find the best ways to intervene in dangerous situations early enough, before tragedies happen, we should.
But Canada is getting started late on this work. Again, to quote Dr. Dawson, "…the previous Conservative government had little or no interest in following up on this." Security expert and former CSIS officer Phil Gurski agrees. He says, "…the previous government had an abysmal record when it came to countering violent extremism and early detection. The Conservative government didn't care."
That government also reduced funding to Canadian security, intelligence and police agencies by more than a billion dollars. So we're working hard to catch up.
The Government of Canada takes very seriously the threats posed by travelling extremists. We face those threats with the skill, clear realism and solid professionalism of our expert agencies and international allies—using the full array of our tools and powers to keep Canadians safe to the very best of human ability.

UN Equator Prize Goes to NaghadehSep 24, 2015
In exciting news for the wetlands initiatives in Iran, the Umbrella Group of Naghadeh NGOs was awarded one of the 21 prizes for the United Nation's Equator Prize. The announcement was made at a press conference on Monday, September 21st in New York by the award-winning American actor and animal rights activist, Alec Baldwin.
The Equator Prize is the flagship programme of the Equator Initiative, a partnership bringing together the UN, governments, civil society, businesses, and grassroots organizations to advance sustainable development solutions. This international award recognizes outstanding community efforts to reduce poverty, protect nature and strengthen resilience in the face of climate change.
Iran's NGO Umbrella Group of Naghadeh is the first organization from Iran to receive this prestigious Equator Prize. Naghaded was specifically recognized for their leadership on environmental conservation and community-based adaptation to climate change. The group was also commended for its focus on water management issues that include wetland restoration, adaptation to droughts, farm irrigation and sedimentation in canals in the areas surrounding Lake Urmia, the world's second largest hyper-saline lake.
Commenting on the winners of this year's Equator Prize, Ms. Helen Clark, and the UNDP Administrator, said: "These winners show what is possible when indigenous peoples and local communities are backed by rights to manage their lands, territories and natural resources."
"The bottom line," continued Ms. Clark, "is that land rights for indigenous people are good for the climate and good for sustainable development."
The Equator Prize, which aims to recognize collective action, commended the innovative and collaborative approach taken by the seven community NGOs connected to Naghadeh. These community initiatives cooperated to restore and conserve satellite wetlands surround Lake Urmia and succeeded in restoring over 1,600 hectares of valuable wetland areas.
The Equator Prize winners will be invited to attend the 6th Sustainable Innovation Forum on Climate Action - COP21 – in December 2015 where they will receive their awards and a cash prize of US$10,000.
For more information on the Umbrella Group of Naghadeh NGOs, or to find summaries on all the winning communities, please visit Equator Initiative.

The question of the sustainability in the food system rises in response to the cries of the hungry, the malnourished, as well as the overfed, the cases of cancer, heart disease and other illnesses rooted in unhealthy eating practices and products.
Food safety, availability, affordability of healthy and nutritious food is increasingly a problem in the US, despite its affluence. In turn, less affluent countries are hit with a "silent tsunami" of increased food prices and hunger epidemics. Small farmers are pressured by the global market system to choose being profitability and social responsibility. How to move towards sustainable food systems, locally and globally?
