Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami will give a free public reading and talk, What I Talk About When I Talk About Writing, on Tuesday, April 10, 7:30 p.m. at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Campus Center Ballroom. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and seating will be on a first–come, first–served basis.
Murakami, who has gained an international following with his daringly original fiction, will read the short stories "The Rise and Fall of Sharpie Cakes" and "The Mirror" from the collection Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman.
Murakami is best known for his novels Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World (1985), Norwegian Wood (1987), The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (1994–95), Kafka on the Shore (2002) and, most recently, 1Q84 (2009–10).
His many awards include the 2006 Franz Kafka Prize, the 2006 Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award, the 2009 Jerusalem Prize and the 2011 Catalonia International Prize.
According to a recent cover story in The New York Times Magazine, "Three decades into his career, Murakami has established himself as the unofficial laureate of Japan—arguably its chief imaginative ambassador, in any medium, to the world."
Please note that audio or video recording, photography, or broadcasting of any kind is strictly prohibited at this event.
This presentation is sponsored by the UH Mānoa Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures and the UH Mānoa College of Languages, Linguistics and Literature.
Dear Sirs,
But I have a question, will be there a chance of viewing Mr. Murakami on-line?
thank you,
Jennifer Moreno
Dear all,
I have the same question, thank you for your answer,
kind regards,
peter, Europe
Unfortunately, the presentation will not be webcast or recorded.
It would be great to have that recorded and uploaded. Or is that Mr. Haruki's order?
Mr. Haruki has requested that no photogrpahy, video or audio recordings or broadcasts be made of his presentation.
Is there any chance to someone write what he talked about? :'(
I am planning to attend the talk tomorrow night. I will be happy to tell you about it. :)
yes, please, we will be happy if you will be able to share your report :-) about this event, thank you in advance !
rgds. Peter, Europe
Hi Mary,
I'm currently doing a research project on Murakami and would love to know the details of Mr Murakami's talk!
Hi Mary,
I am a huge fan of Murakami. Do you mind if you share the note at that night..? ^^
From Kim in China
Hmm, that is pity, it is great opportunity to see Mr. Murakami there.
Peter, Europe
Is Mr. Murakami against webcast/recording, or it is about technical conditions ?
rgds, Peter, Europe

The USS Fearless (NCC-14598) was a Federation Excelsior-class starship operated by Starfleet.
The Fearless was one of the ships that received Kosinski's experimental warp drive upgrades in 2364. The engineering staff reported a measurable increase in performance and engine efficiency following the upgrade. It was later suggested that these enhancements in performance may have been attributed to straightening out simple engine inefficiencies experienced by the older ship.
Following the upgrades, the Fearless transferred Kosinski, and his assistant The Traveler, to the USS Enterprise-D to make similar upgrades. (TNG: "Where No One Has Gone Before")
In 2367, the Fearless was on a planetary mapping mission in the Beta Mahoga system. The ship was named on the chart "Starfleet Operations-Sectors 21166-23079" on the USS Enterprise-D bridge. (TNG: "Brothers" okudagram)
In 2369, the Fearless was on a planetary mapping mission in the Beta Cygni system. The ship was named on the chart "Starfleet Operations-Sectors 21538-23079" in the Enterprise-D observation lounge. (TNG: "Chain of Command, Part I" okudagram)

A Spa With Just One Guest: You
Hotels Create Secluded Spaces to Shield Guests From Awkward Robe-Clad Encounters, Bachelorette Chatter
Spas, even the most glamorous ones, can elicit their share of cringe-inducing moments. There's the awkward scene in the locker room. The forced "relaxation room" time with other robe-clad clients—some who want to party, others who want to sleep. Not to mention sauna etiquette conundrums (towel or no towel?).
Now, hotel companies are designing spas to give privacy-craving guests a spa of their own. These mini "spas within a spa" include their own bathrooms, showers, lounging areas and even Jacuzzis and steam rooms. People can pay to spend the day getting treatments and hanging out in a bubble of spa-suite seclusion.
"We can guarantee people don't have to wear clothes there and they should feel very comfortable," says Martein VanWagenberg, managing director of Las Ventanas al Paraíso, a Rosewood Resort in San José del Cabo in Mexico, of the four spa suites the resort opened in 2011. The private spaces—each with its own outdoor shower and Jacuzzi bathtub—are occupied 65% of the time, compared with 50% for the regular treatment rooms.
The spa suites are marketed to couples who want to spend time together after a massage. In most spas, men and women have to split up before and after their appointments to head to separate locker rooms, saunas and hot tubs. And as spas increasingly become popular for bachelorette parties and bridal showers, spa suites allow resorts to balance the desires of guests who want to sip champagne and chat with those who want peace and quiet.
Some spas say they can charge a premium for their spa suites. And the tricked-out spaces can give spas an air of luxury and exclusivity.
"Our guests are really into privacy," said MaryAnne DeMatteo, director of sales and marketing for Jumby Bay, a Rosewood Resort in Antigua in the Caribbean, which opened an all-suite spa in 2010. "We didn't want them to be in locker rooms, bottom line." The resort's five spa suites include private bathrooms, showers and terraces with views of the sea, complete with dining tables for a post-massage lunch.
This style of spa has been popular in Asia for a while, but is now expanding to other parts of the world. Marriott International Inc.'s JW Marriott has long had spa suites at its hotels in Asia and the Middle East. In the last two years, it has added the spaces to spas in Hawaii and Grand Rapids, Mich. Marriott's Ritz-Carlton brand recently incorporated spa suites into properties in Lake Tahoe, Calif., Palm Beach, Fla., Amelia Island, Fla., Denver and near Tucson, Ariz. Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts now has spa suites in about 60% of its hotels and it is including them in all new properties, says Simon Casson, chairman of the company's Spa Task Force.
When Susan Lewis visited a Manhattan day spa, she was all set for a deep-tissue massage and some "quiet and relaxation," says the 42-year-old film producer in New York. "Then you get there and there's a bachelorette party going on." Not only did the chatty guests intrude on her serenity in the lounge and hot tub, she says, but "you end up feeling like you're in high school. Everyone is partying and you're the lonely kid in the corner who is not invited."
Group spa parties are a growing business at many resorts. And spa suites can be used to separate them from tranquillity seekers. Carmel Valley Ranch, a 139-room resort in Carmel, Calif., recently launched two new packages to attract wedding groups to its three spa suites. In the $775 "Hot Husband Package," six guys receive a "classic barber shave" accompanied by Bloody Marys.
VIP Treatment
The suites are also appealing to celebrities, spas say. Before Miraval Resort and Spa in Tucson, Ariz., built its VIP spa suite in May of 2012, some guests would "hang out and wait to see" celebrities, says Michael Tompkins, chief executive of Miraval Resorts.
"We were concerned about cameras in the spa," even though they're forbidden, he says. Now, famous faces can sneak into the 1,000 square-foot suite via a private back entrance. The space also has two massage tables, a fireplace, outdoor Jacuzzi and shower. Guests are welcomed with a glass of champagne and snacks. (For anyone who wants to linger in the space before or after treatments, it is $100 for 20 minutes; $2,500 for an entire day.)
Bill Rancic, the television host and reality show star, has visited Miraval about 10 times. Most recently, he and his wife Giuliana, an anchor of E! News, frequented the VIP spa suite while she was preparing for and then recovering from breast cancer surgery. "It was completely private. We just hung out there and chilled out," Mr. Rancic said.
Spas often try to entice customers to the private spaces by offering special—and pricey—treatments that are only available in the suites. The Homestead in Hot Springs, Va., for example, is opening a new Canyon Ranch SpaClub with 28 treatment rooms in June 2013. Two of the spa's treatments are only available in its new "Ritual Suite," which features a private lounging area.
"We think there will be a fairly strong appeal to those political families and couples who may want a little extra privacy when going to the spa," says Arthur Berg, vice president of marketing at KSL Resorts, which manages the Homestead. He calls the suite "the next, new frontier."
Spas often charge a premium for private space. A half day in the "Grand Palace Suite" (with fireplace and flat-screen TV) at the Montelucia Resort & Spa in Scottsdale, Ariz., will run guests $499—not including treatments.
In China, the new Four Seasons Pudong in Shanghai has two spa suites (with heated floors, an infinity-edged soaking bathtub, sauna and steam room). The "ultimate spa treatment" for two, which is available only in the suites, includes facials and four-handed massages for two (two therapists work on each person) plus champagne and caviar. The price tag for the three hours: $2,100 per couple. More than 10 couples have booked it since the spa opened in November.
At Mukul, a new resort in Rivas, Nicaragua, each of the six free-standing spa casitas has distinctive features, décor and treatments. The "Rain Forest" room, for example, has a saltwater plunge pool. The goal is to "try to attract our guest to come and visit the spa every day," says Angel Stewart, the resort's spa consultant.
Some properties are going so far as to bring the spa into the guest room. Las Ventanas has three abodes with private spa treatment rooms with massage tables and steam rooms.
The Grand Del Mar near San Diego, Calif., is planning to add souped-up showers, bathtubs and hidden massage tables to between seven and 10 of its 249 rooms. The accommodations, located adjacent to the resort's spa, will also get healthier minibar snacks and room-service menu items, says Tom Voss, the resort's president. And after a treatment, you'll be able to go "straight to your bed and take a nap," he says.

It contains a few upgrades to the IDE that I thought were missing from Management Studio.
These are:

- Text document Collapsable Regions and Debug sections: regions and debug section known from Visual Studio which are missing in SSMS
- New query template: set the template that will open when you open a new query

You wouldn't believe how many times i've seen this code
IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Table1 WHERE ... ) > 0
It's understandable though. Logically it's the easiest way to write "if there are any rows matching my condition do this".
But it's also wrong. Plainly and simplly wrong!
Because when you do a count(*) there is no way to get around an index range scan or a full table scan. For a large resultset this will be a huge resource hog.
So how do i do this you might ask yourself?
Very simple: Use EXISTS!
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE ...)
Exists stops the execution as soon as...

I've been asked this question so many times now that it'd be easier if i just gave people a link to read. :)
So in short (for those who are too lazy to dwelve deeper into sql internals):
Each row has a null bitmap for columns that allow nulls. If the row in that column is null then a bit in the bitmap is 1 else it's 0.
For variable size datatypes the acctual size is 0 bytes.
For fixed size datatype the acctual size is the default datatype size in bytes set to default value (0 for numbers, '' for chars).
Let's have two simple table t1 and t2....

But in my latest pet project i had to do something really quickly on a lot of items in a list.

Governmentwide Financial Report System (GFRS)
GFRS is an application used to collect closing package information from Federal Program Agencies (FPAs). The Closing Package is a set of prescribed financial statements of an agency's department-level comparative, audited, financial data.
The primary purpose of this process is to present a comprehensive report on the government's financial position as well as defining a mechanism that assists with resolving material deficiencies identified by the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
GFRS replaces Federal Agencies' Centralized Trial-Balance System (FACTS I) and Intragovernmental Fiduciary Confirmation System (IFCS). Both systems were decommissioned in FY 2014.
The final date for the closing package for this year is November 16, 2018
Who is responsible for a Closing Package?
The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) or designee must prepare and submit a Closing Package each year.
The inspector general (IG) of the agency must approve the Closing Package data. CFOs and IGs must ensure that they collaborate on the Closing Package submission.
Who else works with GFRS?
In GFRS, different parts of the system are available to different "user roles." Your user role determines which parts of the system you have permission to use.
What does Treasury do with the Closing Packages?
Treasury uses the Closing Package information to prepare the Financial Report of the United States.
How do agencies submit Closing Packages?
Agencies use the Governmentwide Financial Reporting System (GFRS) to submit their Closing Packages.

Look Ahead: Playoff drama continues
FROM THE ROAD: 2011 Offense | 2011 Defense | Underclassmen
Rivals.com analysts are canvassing the country again this week to check out the top talent in person. Here's where they'll be and where their attention will be focused.
Analyst: Chris Nee | Follow Chris on Twitter: @RivalsCNee
Game: Miami (Fla.) Northwestern vs. Miami (Fla.) Columbus, Thursday
Top prospects:
Allen highlightsClick Demetrius Allen, Northwestern, 6-0/200, LBHere to view this Link.
Allen is committed to Florida International. He is an aggressive linebacker who is most effective on the outside in space. Has his athleticism from sideline-to-sideline improved during his senior year?
Bridgewater highlightsClick Teddy Bridgewater, Northwestern, 6-3/185, QBHere to view this Link.
Bridgewater is a very athletic quarterback who is capable of playing wide receiver as well. He will be a quarterback at Miami, where he has been committed for months.
Bush highlightsClick Deon Bush, Columbus, 6-1/165, DB, Class of 2012Here to view this Link.
Bush is a talented junior who possesses a good amount of versatility because of his size or athleticism. He is capable of being a cornerback, safety, or even a linebacker in the right scheme.
Amari Cooper, Northwestern, 6-1/175, WR, Class of 2012
The junior wide receiver is a big target for his quarterback. Will he continue the trend established by past Northwestern wideouts such as Aldarius Johnson?
Lyndon Edwards, Northwestern, 6-1/195, LB
Edwards is a talented defensive prospect for Northwestern who is capable of playing among the linebackers or moving down to the defensive line. What position is Edwards going to eventually settle into at Florida International?
Eric Kinsey, Northwestern, 6-3/215, DE, Class of 2012
While Kinsey projects at defensive end as he fills out, he will likely work among the linebackers for Northwestern. Does he possess the frame to become a big defensive end?
Rabasa highlightsClick Anthony Rabasa, Columbus, 6-3/200, DEHere to view this Link.
The Notre Dame commitment has been having a very strong senior campaign racking up good numbers off the edge. At Notre Dame, he is expected to move to the outside linebacker position.
Brandon Radcliff, Columbus, 5-10/195, RB, Class of 2012
Radcliff is capable of dropping his shoulder to run through the hole or can turn it up while bursting through a hole. He has battled some injury issues this season.
Reve highlightsClick Jermaine Reve, Northwestern, 6-0/175, DBHere to view this Link.
Reve is a talented safety that has committed to UCF. He doesn't possess incredible measurements or athleticism, but is a very good playmaker in the secondary.
Dominique Rhymes, Northwestern, 6-4/205, WR
Rhymes is relatively new to the football field. He has been a regular playmaker throughout the season for Northwestern. How high is his ceiling?
Rogers highlightsClick Eli Rogers, Northwestern, 5-10/180, WRHere to view this Link.
Rogers is a former Miami commitment who is evaluating his options. He is a slot wide receiver and explosive in space and off the line. It will be interesting to see how he does against a talented Columbus defense.
Sumler highlightsClick Tacoi Sumler, Columbus, 5-8/151, WRHere to view this Link.
The Oregon commitment is incredibly small but his speed makes him a huge threat in space. He has home-run capability every time he touches the ball.
Clinton Taylor, Northwestern, 5-8/160, WR
Taylor is another Florida International commitment on Northwestern. He is an undersized slot wide receiver for the Bulls.
Lorenzo Woodley, Columbus, 6-0/200, RB, Class of 2013
Woodley is a big back who can drop the shoulder and punish defenders but also has the ability to burst into the open field and run away from them. With a crowded backfield, it will be interesting to see how many touches he gets.
Quick Kicks:
This is an opening-round game in the state playoffs. The two teams met earlier this season with Columbus defeating Northwestern 29-7. Columbus is 10-0 on the season while Northwestern is 8-2.

Game: Corona (Calif.) vs. Chino Hills (Calif.), Friday
Top prospects:
Wilson highlightsClick DeVante Wilson, Corona, 6-4/230, SDEHere to view this Link.
USC, Nebraska and Arizona are the three finalists for Wilson, who will take an official visit to Southern Cal on Dec. 10 and then make his commitment five days later on his birthday. Wilson has lots of speed off the edge but his toughness and intensity have been questioned at times.
Ekpre-Olomu highlightsClick Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, Chino Hills, 5-10/180, CBHere to view this Link.
Ekpre-Olomu is a jack-of-all-trades on offense, defense and special teams for Chino Hills but we're most interested to see how he performs on defense. Is he quick and instinctive enough to stay at cornerback or will he grow into a safety in college?
Quick Kicks:
Ekpre-Olomu has Oregon and California as his two favorites and the Ducks have made a big impression on him. … Wilson has already visited Arizona and Nebraska on official visits and has been to USC for unofficial trips. His official to USC could seal the deal.
Analyst: Mike Farrell | Follow Mike on Twitter: @rivalsmike
Game:Midlothian (Va.) Clover Hill at Dinwiddie (Va.), Friday
Top prospects:
Wes Austin, Clover Hill, 6-2/190, WR, Class of 2012
Austin gets overshadowed by Joel Caleb but with his size, does he have D-I ability and the speed needed to play at the next level?
Caleb highlightsClick Joel Caleb, Clover Hill, 6-2/185, ATH, Class of 2012Here to view this Link.
Is Caleb the top prospect in the state of Virginia for 2012? With early offers from Virginia and Virginia Tech, and interest from many others, how does the high school quarterback project as a safety or wide receiver?
Holland Fisher, Clover Hill, 6-2/180, LB, Class of 2013
Fisher is only a sophomore but he has good size and looks older than he is. Will he be an elite linebacker by the time he's recruitable?
Gardner highlightsClick Trey Gardner, Dinwiddie, 6-5/202, WRHere to view this Link.
Gardner has good size and is a terrific looking prospect on the hoof but he only has one D-I offer. Is it speed or lack of ball skills holding him back?
Hall highlightsClick Chris Hall, Dinwiddie, 6-4/231, ATHHere to view this Link.
Hall plays quarterback in high school but projects as a tight end or defensive end at Virginia Tech. How athletic is he?
Drakar Harvell, Dinwiddie, 5-10/191, WR, Class of 2012
Harvell is a very thick kid but was built more like a running back than a wide receiver the last time we saw him. Has he added a few inches to his frame?
Marshall highlightsClick Corey Marshall, Dinwiddie, 6-2/239, DEHere to view this Link.
Marshall's lack of height was the main reason he wasn't more highly ranked in the Rivals250 from the start. Has he added some length to his frame?
Diante Monroe, Dinwiddie, 6-1/230, DE
Monroe is a tweener between defensive tackle and defensive end. What position does he project at and can he get big enough to play inside if needed?
Tim Thaniel, Clover Hill, 6-2/190, DB, Class of 2012
Thaniel plays both defensive back and wide receiver and has good size for both. On which side of the ball is he better?
Quick Kicks:
Clover Hill produced four-star offensive tackle Blake DeChristopher in 2007 when he signed with Virginia Tech but hasn't had a D-I prospect since. For Dinwiddie, linebacker Bradley Johnson is the only recent D-I prospect prior to this year. Johnson signed with Maryland in 2009.

Wood highlightsClick Zach Wood, Rowlett, 6-3/256, SDEHere to view this Link.
Can he get enough pressure on the quarterback to disrupt the Jaguars prolific passing attack?
Quick Kicks:
Rowlett coach Kiff Hardin brings the Eagles in at 9-2, his best record since the 2005 season when they finished 9-3. The Jaguars are led by coach Rodney Webb at 7-4, but that record is deceiving since they have played one of the toughest schedules in the state of Texas.

Eric Patterson, Plant, 5-10/185, DB

Posada highlightsClick Tony Posada, Plant, 6-6/315, OLHere to view this Link.
The Michigan commitment is an aggressive blocker who likes to attack the defender and play with a chip on his shoulder. During the summer, he carried some bad weight on his frame. It will be interesting to see what kind of shape he is in now.

Wilder highlightsClick James Wilder Jr., Plant, 6-2/219, ATHHere to view this Link.
Wilder Jr. is a versatile athlete capable of being a linebacker or running back in college. He is heading to Florida State to play running back, which has been his regular position throughout his senior season.

The Women's Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation's (ACLU) National Office in New York City seeks applicants for sponsored fellowships, such as Skadden, Equal Justice Works, Liman and other public interest fellowships, beginning in the Fall of 2013.
Founded in 1972 by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Women's Rights Project has been a leader in the legal battles to ensure women's full equality in American society. WRP is dedicated to the advancement of the rights and interests of women, with a particular emphasis on issues affecting low-income women, women of color, and immigrant women. WRP has overall responsibility for implementing ACLU policy in the area of gender discrimination. WRP conducts direct litigation, files amicus curiae briefs, provides support for ACLU affiliate litigation, serves as a resource for ACLU legislative work on women's rights, and seeks to advance ACLU policy goals through public education, outreach, and participation in coalitions. WRP has been an active participant in virtually all of the major gender discrimination litigation in the Supreme Court, in Congressional efforts to promote gender equality, and in other significant public education on behalf of women and girls.
The Women's Rights Project has three core priority areas of focus: education; violence against women and girls; and employment. Cutting across these priority areas, WRP seeks to incorporate an international human rights framework into its litigation and advocacy efforts.
WRP is particularly interested in sponsoring a candidate to work on a project advocating for the rights of survivors of domestic and gender-based violence. The project will combine litigation and advocacy with community outreach and public education. WRP staff will work with the chosen candidate to develop the fellowship proposal.
The fellows will be participating in trial litigation at all levels of federal and state courts, including but not limited to:
The ACLU offers a generous and comprehensive compensation and benefits package, commensurate with experience and within parameters of the ACLU compensation scale.

You don't have to spend over $200 on a pair of UGGs sweater boots. Make some yourself for less than $15! Add some of your own personal style at the same time. And they are much more eco-friendly… you are reusing old clothes!
I have never been a big fan of the bulky UGGS so this version is a sleeker, more personalized variation. When I saw some girls wearing sweater boots a while back I eyed them up with my usual DIY eyeball… "I can make that…" I thought to myself. And so I did.
$6 Shoe glue.
$4 Second-hand sweater
$4 Second-hand shoes
Buttons from your button collection or W.H.Y.
- Find some shoes at a thrift store that fit well and are comfortable. Who cares what they look like! Remove insole for later use.
- Using a sharp knife, cut upper off the sole, as closely as you can.
- Cut sleeves off old sweater, just above the shoulder.
- Cut edging of sweater off sweater to create an edging for your boots. Set aside.
- Fit the sweater over your foot and pull up as high as you like on your leg.
- Insert upper of shoe into the sleeve and adjust to where you want it. Carefully put shoe glue between upper and sweater sleeve so the upper is in place. It helps to do this while it is on your foot!
- Pull the sweater tight over the bottom of you foot and pin closed. Stitch and trim excess so it isn't lumpy when you step on it.
- Apply shoe glue to the sole of the shoe. Place the sole on the sweater/upper and stand on it until it is dry enough to stay in place.
- Carefully squeeze glue into the edge of the sole/sweater and insert your sweater edging to make an edging for your boot, starting at the back of your boot going around to the front, and ending at the back of your boot.
- You can add a flap to the top of your boot by cutting and finishing the edge of the sweater and sewing it to the top of the boot.
- Insert insole.
- Add buttons, embroidery or lightweight buckles to add your own personal touch!
- Repeat with second boot and enjoy!
Your finished boot will require some attention when putting it on since there is a hidden upper inside the boot. Put it on carefully! If you are really creative, you could make a liner for the boot.
- It helps to wear the boot while you are making it. Except the sewing part…
To make the UGG-like boots with a stiff upper, find a pair of second-hand imitation UGGS, remove the sole, pull the sweater over the whole boot, fold it inside, and glue it down. Glue the sole back on.
Use caution when using shoe glue. It is toxic. Use glue in a well-ventilated area. Use gloves to protect your hands.

Getting Your Journal Indexed
How to Get Indexed
Once you've set up your journal and started publishing, you'll want to ensure that readers will to be able to find it. This document details a few simple tips for helping your journal get discovered using tools within OJS, as well as a simple primer on some Google optimization.
Additionally, Kevin Stranack's article, Getting Found, Staying Found, Increasing Impact: Enhancing Readership and Preserving Content for OJS Journals, provides comprehensive information about the following aspects of making your journal more findable:
- how to get indexed in...
- commercial databases
- open databases
- search engines
- libraries
- communicating with the media
- professional networks
- impact
- journal standards
- staying found (preservation and access)
You can access that document here.
Basic Indexing and OJS
Description and Keywords
One of the principal ways in which websites are found and indexed is through meta tags. Meta tags are bits of HTML that are on your webpage that aren't visible to users but are visible to search engines and the bots they employ to crawl the web for content. OJS allows you to fill in relevant metadata for your journal to help you best describe your content for better findability.
If you are a Journal Manager you can go to:
Journal Manager > Setup > 1. Details
In Setup step 1.8, you can fill out description and keywords information that provides your site with important metadata that is crawled by search engines. Be as thorough as you can. There is also a Custom Tags field that can be used for special use terms that might be unique to your journal.
Google Webmaster Tools
Setting up a Google Webmaster Tools account will allow you to register your site for indexing (amongst other things). This is an optional step, but it does speed up the indexing process. Google will automatically detect "scholarly" article content once you have published it, and will add that to Google Scholar, so no other manual steps are required of you.
Please Note: Setting up Google Webmasters Tools will require a Google account. Additionally, if you use Google Analytics, the two services can be used together.
Keywords and Submissions
You can enable the inclusion of "Keywords" (and other indexing metadata) in setup Section 3.8: For Authors to Index Their Work.
Journal Manager > Setup > 3. Submissions
Keywords allow authors to add descriptive terms as metadata for their submissions. While this is an excellent way to help articles in your journal get indexed, editors will need to keep an eye on the author-submitted keywords to ensure that they are correct and relevant.
Further Information
See the PKP School's Becoming an Editor course for a module on getting indexed.
