In Waning Winter, An 'Above Par' Snow-Kayaking Adventure
With snow cover stubbornly lingering and whitewater kayaking season still more than a month away, what's an impatient paddler to do? Easy: Snow-kayaking.
People who observe the world principally through a windshield see nothing but highways, shopping centers, housing subdivisions, office complexes and fast-food restaurants.
But those of us who escape pavement at every opportunity embrace an alternative universe of forests, meadows, streams and lakes often hidden from view but nevertheless easily accessible, even in densely populated areas.
I've often made it a challenge to get from Point A to Point B on foot with as few road crossings as possible – sometimes over considerable distances, such as the Hundred Mile Wilderness in northern Maine, or the Long Trail, a 271-mile pathway the entire length of Vermont, but also on shorter rambles over the Metacomet and Mattabesset trails from the Connecticut-Massachusetts border to Long Island Sound, and, most recently, 22-plus miles on the Narragansett Trail from Lantern Hill in Ledyard/North Stonington to Ashville Pond in Hopkinton, R.I.
That day-long trek a few week ago reinforced my commitment to devote more time hiking the elegant paths near our neck of the woods and fewer hours behind the wheel en route to more remote trails farther north.
We woodland wanderers are forever indebted to such organizations as the Connecticut Forest and Park Association, which maintains some 850 miles of blue-blazed trails throughout the state, as well as to local groups including the Groton Open Space Association, the Friends of Oswegatchie Hills Nature Preserve in East Lyme, the North Stonington Land Alliance and the Avalonia Land Trust that collectively have preserved thousands of acres of land and made available miles of hiking trails throughout southeastern Connecticut.
For the past several years one such group, the TriTown Trail Association, has been rallying support for a 14-mile path that would connect open space and existing trails between Bluff Point Coastal Reserve in Groton and the Preston Community Park. This inspiring concept has the backing of the towns of Groton and Ledyard, which both have applied for $200,000 state grants to help build and maintain the trail.
The catch: Approval of the public funds requires 20 percent in private contributions. Simply put, the project needs money to go forward.
From 5:30 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 2, the association and the Ledyard Rotary Foundation are sponsoring a party and silent auction at The Paddock Tack Shop, 55 Rose Hill Road in Ledyard to raise money for the trail. Tickets are $15 and can be reserved by calling 860-464-1558. More information about the event and the organization also is available on the TriTown Trail Association's Facebook page.
"Think of what a boon this trail would be for this area," said Laurie Gorham, an association volunteer who envisions a popular hiking-biking-equestrian route that would not only appeal to local outdoor enthusiasts but also attract tourists.
"We're trying to raise money and enthusiasm," David Holdridge, a former Ledyard town councilor who heads the association, added. He said about a quarter of the route already is preserved through existing trails at Bluff Point Coastal Reserve, the Gungywamp preserve in Groton, and the Clark Property off Route 117 owned by the town of Ledyard.
Rights of way would have to be secured from private property owners, including Connecticut Light and Power, which has a path along its power lines, and the City of Groton Utilities Commission, which owns reservoirs in Groton and Ledyard that include wonderful trails and service roads that are now off-limits to the public.
For years Holdridge and a host of public officials have implored the City of Groton to open its property to the public, as have numerous other reservoir owners across the country, but their requests have fallen on deaf ears.
"We hope eventually they'll come around, with enough public support," Holdridge said.
The Ledyard Reservoir trails would be a key component of the new network, and among the highlights. A confession here: I've sneaked onto the trails a couple times years ago – once on cross-country skis, another while running – and would love to do so legally. I presume the statute of limitations on my trespassing has expired.
There is ample evidence that reservoirs that are open to the public actually are better protected against vandalism than chain-link fences because, as we all know, no simple barrier will keep out determined miscreants, and having more responsible people around will deter inappropriate behavior.
The reservoir link, though desirable, is not critical and would be substituted, at least initially, by an asphalt detour of a few miles.
I look forward to completing the route on foot one day in the near future and am confident the trail group will be rewarded for its efforts.
It's a great project and I hope you'll help support it.

|Re: sloppyFreq question
|Mon, 09 Mar 2009 14:05:15 GMT
The reason I asked about Span scoring is that the behavior changed when I switched from TermQuery to BoostingTermQuery to take advantage of payloads. It seems to me that a SpanTermQuery and BoostingTermQuery should behave the same as TermQuery with respect to term frequency. The 'edit distance' isn't really relevant for these queries, is it? For a SpanNearQuery that contains SpanTermQueries, the score for a match on "the quick brown fox" would be lower than a match on "brown fox" because of the edit distance (4 vs 2). This seems counter intuitive, too. Any comments?

The discussion involving Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) has certainly heated up in recent weeks after the company's first quarter earnings report. Netflix posted a strong quarter, with revenues mostly in-line on solid subscriber growth. The company was able to keep costs under control, which led to a huge beat on the bottom line, after subtracting out a one-time item. Netflix's Q2 guidance was fair, and the stock soared past $200, nearly touching $225 at one point. While the stock has come off its high a little, it closed Friday at $213.45, after beginning 2013 at just $92.59.
Today, I'm going to take another look at Netflix, but a different one this time. I'm not going to rant like many do about the sky high price to earnings valuation. I'm not going to describe how original programming will bring in new members and send this stock even higher. I'm going to look at the DVD business. Once the jewel of Netflix's business model, the unit has less importance by the day. Today, I'll examine the DVD segment, and see if a potential sale is warranted.
A brief overview:
The DVD segment has always been known as the profit monster of Netflix. In 2011, Netflix thought that it could split the DVD business off, but after tons of outrage, decided against it. The DVD business is still part of Netflix, but is completely separate from the streaming business at the moment. In fact, many investors, or even Netflix streaming customers, may not realize how the DVD segment pricing works. Here's a short clip from Netflix's recent 10-Q filing.
The price per plan for DVD-by-mail varies from $4.99 to $43.99 per month based on the number of DVDs that a member may have out at any given point. Customers electing access to high definition Blu-ray discs in addition to standard definition DVDs pay a surcharge ranging from $2 to $4 per month for our most popular plans.
Now I knew that pricing varied depending on how many discs were out, but I had no idea about a $43.99 per month plan! I'm guessing that most investors don't realize this either, and it probably isn't very popular. If Netflix had a lot of subscribers using high priced plans, DVD revenues would be a lot higher.
Current state of the DVD business:
Netflix hasn't killed off the DVD segment yet, but its relevance is getting smaller and smaller each quarter. The table below shows the DVD segment's revenues, against the company total for the quarter, and the percentage that DVD accounted for. Numbers in thousands.
Just in the past year, the DVD segment has gone from 36.76% of revenues to just 23.76% in the latest quarter. Depending on when Netflix enters their next international market, it is possible that the DVD percentage could go under 20% sometime this year and head to 15% or so by next year. It will also be interesting to see what impact Redbox Instant, the partnership between Coinstar (NASDAQ:CSTR) and Verizon (NYSE:VZ), has. I'll go into more detail on that later.
Not the profit machine it used to be:
The DVD business was always the most profitable one for Netflix, as DVD contribution margins have always been much higher than streaming margins. The chart below shows a breakdown of the DVD segment, its revenues and expenses, showing how things have changed over the past year or so. As a reminder, Netflix's contribution profit is calculated by taking a segment's revenue, and subtracting out the cost of goods sold and marketing expenses.
Yes, contribution margins did decline in Q1 of 2013 due to higher usage rates by subscribers and the USPS postage rate hike. Netflix believes that they can see contribution margins in this area, and I don't personally expect them to venture outside of the 45%-50% range anytime soon.
The important thing here is that DVD contribution profits are not what they once were. In fact, Q1 of 2013 was the first quarter in which domestic streaming contribution profits (dollars) were higher than domestic DVD contribution profits. In the year-ago quarter, domestic DVD contribution profits were 2.20 times that of domestic streaming. In this year's Q1, the ratio was down to 0.86. If current trends continue, which they are expected to do so, it is likely that later this year or early next year, domestic streaming contribution profits will be more than double that of DVD contribution profits. It's amazing how quickly this business can change in a short period of time.
Overall segment profitability:
When you hear the term contribution profit, don't think that is Netflix's bottom line. As I mentioned above, this term only takes out the cost of goods sold and marketing expenses. Netflix does have other expenses, like technology and content expenses, general and administrative expenses, interest costs, etc. It is a bit difficult when determining what a specific segment's bottom line is, because Netflix does not break down these other costs per segment. So if Netflix has $100 million in technology expenses, they don't tell us how much came from each segment.
So if we were to try and estimate a true bottom line for the DVD segment, I think the best way is to just allocate those expenses based on the percentage of revenues. So if technology expenses are $100 million, and the DVD segment accounts for 25% of revenues that quarter, we'll assign $25 million to the DVD segment. Additionally, Netflix sometimes records a gain on the sale of DVDs, which is hard to account for in overall expenses. This probably isn't how they do it, which is why I'll make an adjustment later. So the table below estimates the segment's profitability, and for simplicity, I'll use a 35% tax rate since the DVD business is only in the US, and I'll ignore the one-time loss on debt extinguishment.
So using this rough estimate, we get an estimated net income figure of $235.85 million over the past year for the DVD business. Since we know that this probably isn't the actual number, I think it would be appropriate to use a range, and we'll go 25% in each direction. That means that, rounded to the nearest million, Netflix's DVD segment has a trailing twelve month profit of $177 million to $295 million. This number is important when trying to determine a proper valuation, if you're trying to sell the business.
Determining a valuation:
When trying to determine a proper valuation for the segment, there are a number of ways you could calculate it. In this section, I'll examine some methods I've chosen to use. The table at the end of this section will summarize the results.
The first method would be price to sales. Netflix shares currently are trading for 2.76 times 2013 expected sales. Because the DVD business is seeing a decline in revenues, I'm going to assign a high P/S value of 2.75 and a low value of 2.00 for this business. I also expect the DVD business at best to do $950 million in revenues this year, and at worst to do $875 million.
The next number I'll look at is price to earnings, and I'm not going to assign some P/E in the hundreds that Netflix trades at. I'm going to use a high P/E of 20 and a low P/E of 10, because those would be reasonable ratios for companies of this size. Calculating forward earnings would be rather difficult, as I showed above how hard it is to just do trailing earnings. Thus, I'll apply the ratios of 10 and 20 to the range I found above for Netflix's trailing twelve month earnings.
The third and fourth metrics I'll use are a percentage of Netflix's market cap, and for this I'll use revenues and subscribers as a guide. Since we assume that the DVD segment will account for 15% to 20% of revenues over the next year or two, we'll assign those percentages of Netflix's current $11.98 billion market cap as the high and low. Also, the total amount of DVD subscribers (as a percentage of Netflix's overall subscriber number) over the next year or two should be somewhere in the 10% to 15% range, so we'll use that as the high and low for that category.
So the table below is a summary table of the valuation metrics I used, with the valuations in millions. After averaging all of the highs and lows for the six methods, we come up at a value of $2.5 billion. Does this seem reasonable? Well, Netflix's current market cap is $12 billion, so does it seem fair that the DVD business would be worth $2.5 billion? I think that valuation is fair, but would someone pay that? Let's examine potential buyers in the next section.
Who are potential buyers?
I'll start with the least likely in my opinion, and go from there. Over the past year or two, there have been many calling for Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) to step in and buy Netflix. But those in favor of this deal have been calling for Apple to buy all of Netflix. They believe that Apple should be going after the more than 36 million streaming subscribers around the world. I've never been one that's said Apple should buy Netflix, although I thought it was much more possible when Netflix was trading at $55. At $213, I just don't see it possible. While Netflix would certainly boost Apple's revenues, the Netflix acquisition would lower Apple's margins even more.
But the part I put in bold above is the key here. While the DVD business is the more profitable one for Netflix, I think that Apple would shed that business right away if it did buy Netflix. Why would Apple buy a business that they essentially would be killing off by focusing on another product or service? They are already doing that with a product called the iPod. Apple might have been a potential acquirer for Netflix, but not for the DVD business.
A second potential acquirer would be Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), one of Netflix's main rivals in the streaming space. This would be a very interesting idea. Amazon has always been known to go for revenues, even if they aren't very profitable ones. But the interesting idea here is that if Amazon could get a better deal on shipping than Netflix does, Amazon could boost DVD margins a bit more. If Amazon could have a DVD segment with a "contribution margin" of 50%-60%, it might certainly be worth it. Yes, Amazon is working more on streaming, and it certainly wants to get into your living room. But for those that don't have internet capable TVs or devices in their living room, the DVD business would be one Amazon could use for a couple of years to generate some level of profitability. Amazon could use the DVD business to generate more cash to build out its streaming service. Also, Amazon could do a hybrid Prime program where you could get DVDs, and Amazon could ship the DVDs with your regular order, which would certainly save a little on shipping. If Amazon is looking to grab some revenues, this could certainly be a play to get them. The main question here is would Amazon really be interested in DVDs when they are so focused on streaming?
I promised that I would get back to Redbox Instant, so I'll discuss it here. Coinstar and Verizon partnered to bring this service which allows users to rent DVDs or stream online. The key here is that the four DVD credits you get per month allow you to pick up those DVDs at a Redbox kiosk. Since Coinstar has spent all that money on those machines (infrastructure), it really does not make sense that they would go after this Netflix segment. You might think that it makes the most sense by picking up the DVD segment, but I just don't see it. Coinstar would have to ditch all of those Redbox machines, and I just don't see them wanting to do that.
But while I'm on Redbox Instant, let me discuss another important item. While the service officially launched during Q1, Q2 will be the first full quarter of service. I mentioned in my post-earnings wrap that Netflix barely even mentioned Redbox in its quarterly information. It will certainly be interesting to see if Redbox Instant causes Netflix to lose some subscribers, primarily in the DVD segment. It's also interesting to note that Netflix stopped providing DVD revenue and subscriber guidance. Netflix is only providing contribution profit guidance for that segment now, as it is mainly focusing on the streaming business.
Higher growth rates, at a lower base:
Shedding the DVD business would improve Netflix's revenue growth rate, but this would certainly be at a lower revenue rate. Since the DVD business is losing subscribers each quarter, revenues are falling each quarter. The year over year declines are even larger. In Q1 of 2012, Netflix had DVD revenues of nearly $320 million. In this year's Q1, DVD revenues were a bit over $243 million.
The decline in DVD revenues is putting a bit of a ceiling on Netflix's revenue growth rate. In Q1 of 2013, Netflix reported a 17.72% rise in total revenues over the year-ago period. However, if you only look at the streaming business (domestic plus international), the growth rate was almost 42%. That's more than twice the overall total. Obviously, if you take out the DVD business, Netflix's total revenues would be a bit lower. So the question is would you rather see a lower growth rate at a higher revenue number, or a higher growth rate at a lower revenue number? It's an interesting question to ponder.
Conclusion - Should Netflix sell and why?
Anyone who thinks the DVD business is still critical to Netflix is a bit mistaken. The DVD segment in Q1 accounted for less than 24% of total revenues, down from almost 37% a year ago. As Netflix continues to focus on streaming and moves towards more international markets, the DVD segment's share of revenues will continue to decrease. Domestic streaming now counts for more contribution profits (in dollar terms) than the DVD segment. If Netflix loses enough DVD subscribers, it's not out of the question that the DVD segment could start losing them money within the next couple of years. The fact that Netflix has stopped providing DVD segment revenue and subscriber guidance tells you how much they really are focusing on the business.
So maybe it is time to part ways with the DVD segment, but should they? Well, it depends on what someone would pay for the business. Because Netflix would most likely have to pay taxes on a gain in the business, you have to look at the after-tax sum. If Netflix could get a significant amount of cash now for the DVD segment, it might be worth it. They could use that cash to pay back debt, acquire more streaming content, or expand to new international markets. It would allow them to completely enter the "new Netflix", a total focus on streaming.
If Netflix could get more cash now for the DVD segment than they think the business will generate going forward, a sale of the DVD business is definitely warranted. I don't think they would sell the business for a few hundred million. But if Netflix could get like a billion or two after taxes, it just might be the right decision. This would be a positive for Netflix because it would move them to an all-streaming business, and would give them a much needed capital boost that everyone certainly is looking for.

The former chief executive of the Royal Television Society has attacked the BBC for ignoring talented young black and minority ethnic staff adding to growing unease over the lack of diversity in the broadcasting sector.
Simon Albury said he visited the BBC Radio 4 Today programme in January this year and only saw one non-white face – an Asian runner "whose job was to take people to and from the studio". The former RTS head complained that Today presenter James Naughtie had dismissed the lack of diversity on the flagship show by saying the programme was "not a sociological laboratory".
The comments come shortly after Diane Coyle, the acting chair of the BBC Trust, said improving diversity on and off screen should be a priority for the BBC. The actor and comedian Lenny Henry is leading a campaign to force action on the issue and has warned that viewers might withhold payment of the licence fee if change is not forthcoming.
In a speech at an RTS event in London, Albury said the comment by Naughtie deeply concerned him. "It does seem odd to me is that while people get very exercised about what someone like Jeremy Clarkson said off-air two years ago, no one at the BBC seems much bothered when one of Radio 4's ubiquitous presenters says something like this - on the record - now. Imagine the impact of Naughtie's remarks on any black and minority ethnic journalist who might have been interested in working on the Today show or even at the BBC."
Albury lauded a comment made by BBC Director of News James Harding, who admitted to staff last December: "We've got to be clear we've got a problem." Harding brought in Mishal Husain as a Today presenter and oversaw the appointment of Ritulah Shah as lead presenter on Radio 4's The World Tonight.
But he questioned the BBC's commitment to change. He claimed that the BBC had no interest in giving journalists from minority backgrounds editorial responsibility – "it just wants to see a few of them up on screen". He added: "On-screen representation which is not matched by off-screen employment is a hollow and deceptive gesture."
Albury claimed that the BBC was even ignoring a succession of black British journalists who have graduated from the prestigious Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York.
One example, Eno Alfred, from Barnet in north London, applied for 15 separate jobs at the BBC and never received any response other than the automatic rejection letter. Alfred, 26, who has a Masters from Columbia and a degree from the London School of Economics, is now working for a broadcaster in Lagos, Nigeria, far from her family in a country she only previously visited on holiday.
Both at the LSE and during her time in New York she took unpaid internships at the BBC and had high hopes of working for the organisation.
"When I was doing my A levels our teacher told us that if wanted an A we had to listen to Radio 4 every day," she told The Independent. "From the age of 17 I wanted to work for the BBC. The jobs I applied for varied in terms of how much experience you needed but I was surprised to not even get to a stage where I had an interview."
The BBC challenges this view and Tony Hall, the director general, is supporting schemes designed to bring long-term change to the diversity of the BBC workforce by recruiting apprentices.
"They offer something that's different, that's energising – something that will make our programmes bolder, and better. We need a broadcast industry open to all the talents our country has to offer, and I want the BBC to lead the way in helping to make that possible," he said at a recent event. Harding said in a speech to staff in April that he was determined to introduce fundamental change.
A BBC spokesperson said: "Diversity is an industry-wide issue and the BBC is leading efforts to address this both on and off screen. At entry level, our partnerships with the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust and the Mama Youth Project have brought talented young people from diverse backgrounds into the BBC this year and 38 per cent of our current Production Trainee Scheme are from diverse backgrounds."Reuse content

The following article is posted to stimulate conversation. The failure of the writer to define terms like "creationist" and "tradition" is problematic and provides a clue as to why many doubt journalistic claims on science. People often fail to distinguish popular science and true science and do not detect ideological bias. At the end of the blog post are links to articles that I believe provide balance to Adam Frank's perspective. -- Alice C. Linsley
The Age of Denial: Our society no longer values the integrity of scientific fact
New York Times
By ADAM FRANK
August 21, 2013
ROCHESTER — IN 1982, polls showed that 44 percent of Americans believed God had created human beings in their present form. Thirty years later, the fraction of the population who are creationists is 46 percent.
In 1989, when "climate change" had just entered the public lexicon, 63 percent of Americans understood it was a problem. Almost 25 years later, that proportion is actually a bit lower, at 58 percent.
The timeline of these polls defines my career in science. In 1982 I was an undergraduate physics major. In 1989 I was a graduate student. My dream was that, in a quarter-century, I would be a professor of astrophysics, introducing a new generation of students to the powerful yet delicate craft of scientific research.
This is not a world the scientists I trained with would recognize. Many of them served on the Manhattan Project. Afterward, they helped create the technologies that drove America's postwar prosperity. In that era of the mid-20th century, politicians were expected to support science financially but otherwise leave it alone. The disaster of Lysenkoism, in which Communist ideology distorted scientific truth and all but destroyed Russian biological science, was still a fresh memory.

The Emissary: Interpreting the Songs of the Whales to Save the Earth's Oceans
Debut suspense book, The Emissary by bestselling author Patricia Cori has attracted the attention of Hollywood's Global Universal Entertainment. This action-packed book unveils how our actions today will impact our environment tomorrow.
Los Angeles, CA, April 30, 2014 -(PressReleasePoint)- Fans of Animal Planet would likely call bestselling author, Patricia Cori, the "whale whisperer." However, Cori's fans deem her a "real-life Indiana Jones." One thing is for sure. Cori's debut suspense book, The Emissary (North Atlantic Books) is action-packed and will soon be gracing the big screen in partnership with Global Universal Entertainment.
Since its release, The Emissary has garnered positive attention around the globe. Within the pages of The Emissary, Cori artfully engages her readers with fast action and profound, thought-provoking ideas. "Readers will definitely think about the Earth in a different light after reading The Emissary," says Cori. "One of the key ideas explored is how our actions today impact the environment tomorrow. We've already seen some of this come to reality, however The Emissary explores this idea and the findings are quite unsettling."
Three events take place nearly simultaneously: People in Los Angeles witness hundreds of birds dropping from the heavens; Beaches in Maine are covered with tens of thousands of dead fish; and a New Zealand beach resort is devastated with dying whales and dolphins. In the aftermath of this chaos, a strange, grid-like pattern forms in the clouds. Readers soon learn that this is not a coincidence, but part of an evil plan to destroy all life on Earth. Enter, the emissary – a leading psychic, who understands and identifies secrets in the songs of the dying whales. She then uses what she learns in her dangerous journey to avert a global disaster.
"The Emissary gives readers the thrills and action-packed adventures that we all thrive upon," says Patricia Cori. "But it also offers something more, awareness of our oceans and the changes that have come about, due to man's interference in nature."
Meet Patricia Cori. Cori is a bestselling author, screenwriter, public speaker and has been interviewed on hundreds of radio and television programs including CNN and Coast to Coast. She's credited with founding the global non-profit, Save Earth's Oceans, Inc., whose mission is dedicated to restoring the balance of the ocean's ecosystems. Cori's the former host of Beyond the Matrix (BBS Radio) and she is deemed a visionary to her fan base.

Back in 2010, before second-screen viewing became TV execs' obsession, SyFy had a hit with Sharktopus: It drew 2.5 million viewers, raising the question:
Are silly shark movies a surefire hit? SyFy hired B-rate movie producer Asylum to make Sharknado for $2 million, four times its reported usual. When it aired in July 2013...
Twitter Activity
...it caused a frenzy among the tweet-while-watching-TV crowd. There were 5,000 Sharknado tweets a minute, 17% of all Twitter activity during airtime. And...
...likely thanks to all that buzz, usual ratings trends were turned to chum. Sharknado audience sizes increased each time the movie aired. So now...
...it's shark spin-off season! Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda also airs on SyFy this July. And later, we'll get Sharktopus vs. Mermantula and, of course, Sharknado 3.
A version of this article appeared in the July/August 2014 issue of Fast Company magazine.

2 Chronicles 35:20-27New International Version (NIV)
The Death of Josiah
20 After all this, when Josiah had set the temple in order, Necho king of Egypt went up to fight at Carchemish on the Euphrates, and Josiah marched out to meet him in battle. 21 But Necho sent messengers to him, saying, "What quarrel is there, king of Judah, between you and me? It is not you I am attacking at this time, but the house with which I am at war. God has told me to hurry; so stop opposing God, who is with me, or he will destroy you."
22 Josiah, however, would not turn away from him, but disguised himself to engage him in battle. He would not listen to what Necho had said at God's command but went to fight him on the plain of Megiddo.
23 Archers shot King Josiah, and he told his officers, "Take me away; I am badly wounded." 24 So they took him out of his chariot, put him in his other chariot and brought him to Jerusalem, where he died. He was buried in the tombs of his ancestors, and all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for him.
25 Jeremiah composed laments for Josiah, and to this day all the male and female singers commemorate Josiah in the laments. These became a tradition in Israel and are written in the Laments.
26 The other events of Josiah's reign and his acts of devotion in accordance with what is written in the Law of the Lord— 27 all the events, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

SEO Tips For A Fashion Site
If you run a fashion site, you know how important it is to drive traffic to your website. One way that you can get your target audience to notice your pages is to practice good SEO tactics that are geared towards individuals that enjoy fashion. You may know the basics of SEO such as using social media, blogging regularly, creating videos, and writing content that appeals to your audience. But, we all know that those tactics aren't nearly enough to drive the amount of traffic you're looking for, so here are some additional tips that may be of help:
Double Check Website Quality
SEO is actually quite meaningless if you don't have a user-friendly website put together that people are going to want to visit. You can't build a cookie-cutter website and assume that anyone is going to care about it. If you're not sure about your site, check out other fashion websites that may help you get your creative juices flowing.
Get Others To Link You
You may have the most awesome fashion website on the entire world wide web, but if no one is linking back to your website, search engines are going to ignore it. You need to find other fashion companies within your niche and build a relationship in order to get them to link you. Remember, it's not enough to get random websites to reference your fashion site– you need quality backlinks! Avoid submitting your website to link directories that are not relevant to your website as search engines are now penalizing websites that do that.
Try Viral Marketing
The point of viral marketing is to create content that will ultimately go viral. When it comes to fashion, try something that either relates to a current trend or debunks a common myth. The more interesting your video is, the better your chances of finding fame.
Blog About Current Trends
It's important that if you're actively blogging then you're choosing relevant fashion topics. Websites that incorporate popular topics into their content are picked up by search engines easier. When in doubt, celebrity gossip is a surefire way to get your page to rank. Of course, you should never steal or borrow content as that can negatively impact your SEO.
Tweet Fashion Advice
As it turns out, many people are still actively using Twitter and if that's the case, then you need to be using it too! The short text nature of Twitter makes it an ideal platform for tweeting fashion advice or important news on a regular basis. Before you tweet, make sure that you have enough followers because you really can't make a difference if no one is going to be reading your content.
Fashion SEO is never going to be an easy task. You really need to do your research and figure out keywords that you can rank for with a smaller amount of competition. It's a lot easier to drive traffic to your website if you aren't selling fashion products, but if you are, you really need to work to figure out your target audience before enacting SEO.

To" Rbenn Thanks for your service. To: Buck how bad is the ICE problem in Hawaii?
HKinNY, drugs are fairly rampant out here. Meth (ICE), marijuana, spice and salvia, and designer club drugs. But heroin, crack, coke, whatever else can also be had, fairly easily. There is a fairly large homeless population on Oahu that is mostly a result of the drug problems. I keep hearing a statistic that something like 3 or 4 out of every 10 drivers on Hawaii roads are intoxicated at any given time, and honestly, I wouldn't be surprised. But I also have yet to have someone show me where that statistic came from. But in short, drugs are pretty bad, prostitution is also rather prevalent around here, which is most likely inter-related with the drugs. The state of Hawaii makes their own anti-meth commercials, which would indicate to me that they see that drug as the biggest issue.

With the colder and shorter days of winter fast approaching, finding new ways to bring the garden indoors becomes one of our favorite tasks.
