Take a look:
Mistake No 1 – Not doing it!
If you do the minimum level of SEO, you might, with luck, stay where you are in terms of your market position. Do nothing at all and it's practically guaranteed that you'll move backwards and lose business opportunities, because your competitors will be doing. SEO is not difficult and it will pay dividends.
Mistake No 2 – Not defining what the SEO project should achieve
It is important to determine who you want to visit your site, what your visitors might use as search terms in Google etc., and what you want your visitors to do once there.
Mistake No 3 – Failing to coordinate SEO efforts with good content as well as with your sales and PR departments
Getting visitors to the site is one thing, engaging them and converting them into qualified prospects or customers is another. Content on the site must be structured to achieve this. Good SEO without good content and effective visual design will be counter productive as once a bad first impression has been made, why would they ever come back? In addition, new content added by your marketing or PR department must be incorporated into the ongoing SEO strategy so that it is consistent.
Mistake No 4 – Narrow focus
Too much of the SEO focus is on the search listing position. However, if the structure of the listing is poor and searchers fail to click through, what is its value? Also too much SEO priority is placed on getting visitors to land on particular pages. EVERY page should be considered a potential landing page. The wider the net is cast, the better the chance of landing the fish.
Mistake No 5 - Failure to monitor and act upon results
SEO work often brings up unusual surprises. Search terms that would be expected to work may not in fact perform, whilst others expected to be minimally effective, bring in the best qualified, most likely to act visitors. Without constant testing and tuning SEO will never be truly optimised.
Mistake No 6 – Ignoring Behavioural Analysis
Some visitors will enter the website and leave immediately. This is called bouncing. It means that the visitor either was not in the required target market or much worse, they were, but didn't find what they were looking for, or weren't convinced your site was what they were looking for. You need to examine the entry page and identify what might be causing bounces and address these issues.
Mistake No 7 – Poor Content Management Systems (CMS)
Points 4, 5 and 6 above highlight the need to have flexibility in managing the site content. A poor CMS will inhibit this and make effective SEO difficult to achieve. If you have no CMS and the website is controlled by the IT department the problem is probably exacerbated - a techie's interest is in delivering a technical solution, not so much in ensuring the content is SEO friendly. Using a good CMS system will enhance your SEO.
Mistake No 8 – Creating a site with confusing navigation
If the key search term used by a person to find your website is "Baseball cap", ensure that one of the first things that person sees on entry to your site is either the words baseball cap or a picture of one. Once on the site, wherever they have come in, make sure they can quickly and easily navigate around the rest of the site. Structure the site to encourage them to explore. Link related products to make navigation easier. A generic term for this type of effective navigation is Persuasion architecture, and a good website should have been built with this incorporated. When managing your own site, be sure to keep to the persuasion architecture put in place – do not deviate too far from it.
Mistake No 9 – Designing an ineffective homepage
Too many companies only focus on creating a visual impact with their home page. This often comes at the expense of SEO and visitors may not find the information they need on landing so that they can decide that they've come to the right place. You can lose customers from the start.
Mistake No 10 – Over emphasis on the home page
Conversely, some companies put all their efforts into their home page and neglect the other pages of their site. These pages should also be optimised and serve as landing/entry pages.
A point to remember at this stage is that although driving traffic to your site is important, it's vital that once a visitor does arrive there, they are given a good experience.

How to Use an Xbox One Controller with a Mac
We recently showed you how to use your PS4 controller with your Mac to play both new and classic games in OS X, but what about Microsoft fans? The good news is that you can also use an Xbox One controller with a Mac. The (somewhat) bad news is that, unlike the plug-and-play and wireless nature of the PS4 controller, the Xbox Controller requires some third party drivers and configuration to work in OS X, and will only work while connected via a USB cable.
There are several unofficial projects that aim to provide Xbox One controller support for the Mac, but the one we recommend is the Xone-OSX project by Drew Mills (a.k.a. FranticRain). To use it, first disconnect your Xbox One controller from your Mac if necessary (if you had tried to just plug it in without any drivers, you'd notice that it doesn't do anything, even though the controller is recognized in System Profiler).
Next, head over to the Xone-OSX project page at GitHub. If you'd like to check out the source code and compile the installer yourself, you'll find all you need at the project's main page. For users who would rather not bother with source code, you can find a pre-compiled version ready to go at the Xone-OSX release page.
Download and run the installer package and follow the on-screen prompts. You'll need to reboot your Mac after the installation is complete, so make sure to save your work and close any open apps. Once your Mac reboots, connect your Xbox One controller using a Micro-USB to Type A USB cable and you'll see the controller's Xbox light turn on if the driver installation was successful.
To configure your Xbox One controller for use with your Mac, head to System Preferences, where you'll find a new "Xone Controller" preference pane. With your Xbox One controller plugged in, you'll be able to test buttons and inputs, adjust deadzones for calibration, and optionally invert the control scheme for the left or right analog sticks. Unfortunately, you can't use the Xbox One controller wirelessly, as Microsoft uses a proprietary wireless technology for the Xbox One, compared to Sony, which uses standard Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR.
We've been testing the Xone-OSX driver for a few days and are happy to report that everything works great in apps like OpenEmu and modern OS X games. Controller support isn't as broad in OS X as it is in Windows, but Xone-OSX makes the the Xbox One controller look like an Xbox 360 controller to most applications, ensuring maximum compatibility for the relatively limited number of games that support third party controllers. As with the PS4 controller, just make sure you go into each app's settings or preferences and select the Xbox One controller prior to starting the game (it appears as "Microsoft Official Wired" in OpenEmu, for example).
If you have trouble with Xone-OSX, another Xbox One controller for Mac project is Xbox One Controller Enabler, also hosted at GitHub. This project doesn't offer the same graphical System Preferences interface, and it isn't updated as frequently as Xone-OSX, but some users report success with this project in games that Xone-OSX missed in the past.
A final note: those who want to enjoy marathon gaming sessions with their Xbox One controller and their Mac should plan to keep a few extra AA batteries on hand. Even though the controller plugs into the Mac via USB, that connection is only for data. The controller is still powered by batteries, and won't charge via the standard USB cable unless you also pick up the Play & Charge Kit accessory.

Deal allows Indigenous national parks management
New legislation passed in the Victorian Parliament this week paves the way for Aboriginal people to share management responsibilities for national parks in Gippsland.
A new native title settlement with the Gunai Kurnai people of Gippsland will be the first of its kind under the new framework.
The Government has been negotiating with the Gunai Kurnai over the shared management of 11 parcels of public land including national parks.
The CEO of Native Title Services, Chris Marshall, says a settlement will open up job and economic opportunities for Aboriginal people in Gippsland.
"It expands the range of options that are available to traditional owner groups in negotiating with the State Government, the settlement of their native title rights and their interests so it does represent significant progress and to that extent it should make the resolution of claims much more readily achievable," he said.

An Israeli strike on Tuesday killed two militants of the Gaza Strip's ruling Hamas movement after shots were fired at soldiers, Gazan and Israeli officials said. The Islamist group's military wing, the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, confirmed in a statement that the dead men were its fighters, naming them as Ahmed Murjan and Abdel-Hafez al-Silawi. An Israeli military statement, apparently referring to the same incident, said that the army returned fire after shots were fired at its soldiers from a Hamas post in the northern Gaza Strip, next to the border with Israel.

Risks faced by the European Economies
The European Economy is a major worry for the revival of the growth story internationally. There are many economic concerns that are coming out of many countries within Europe that shows that these economies are very vulnerable when it comes to economic prospects in the near future. There are various problems facing Europe economically today and as it is one of the largest economic zones in the world, economists around the world are keenly following developments in Europe to see its impact on the global economy. The following are some of the problems faced by the European economy today:
Risks and Problems Faced By European Economies
• Italy which is one of Europe's largest economies is back in recession in 2014 after it recorded a negative GDP growth for two quarters in 2014. This is the third time Italy is in recession since 2000 and there is economic gloom and need for structural and policy reforms in the country.
• Russia is one of Europe's largest trading partners and a large region of Europe depends on Russia for energy resources. The geo-political tensions in Ukraine and the economic sanctions that have been imposed on Russia by the Europe and United States followed by counter sanctions by Russia can hurt the European economy.
• Demand is low in many of the European economies and also inflation is falling. High inflation is bad for the economy and so is reduction in prices of goods and commodities. This affects the overall growth of the economy and ability of European countries to pay off debts.
• Many countries in Europe have extremely high unemployment rates. Countries like Greece and Spain have recorded unemployment rates in the mid-twenties this year and other countries like Italy and France have recorded double digit unemployment rates.
• The economies in Europe have to realize that they are now in competition with developed economies as well as developing economies all over the world. Countries like Italy and France have to become more competitive.
• The German economy which is one of the strongest in the Eurozone has shown some weaknesses in 2014 which is a worrying sign for Europe. Growth in Germany fell slightly as compared to the forecast at the end of June this year. Though there has been some positive news regarding the economy since then, this drop in GDP is troubling.
Europe needs to take some drastic steps to improve competitiveness and also improve demand in the economies within the continent.

About Dr. Steve K. D. Eichel
Directions to Office
My philosophy
I received my B.A. from Columbia University, and my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, and have been a licensed psychologist since 1982. After completing a clinical psychology internship at the Devereux Foundation, I worked for six years as a child and family psychologist at the Irving Schwartz Institute for Children & Youth, followed by several years as the director of child and family services for a large urban mental health center in Camden, NJ. I was then appointed consulting forensic psychologist to the Family Court and juvenile justice systems of Camden County (NJ). Returning to Pennsylvania, I served as Clinical Director of the St. Francis Homes for Boys from 1989-1994, and directed the well-regarded Widener University-affiliated clinical psychology internship there. I also worked as a training consultant to the University of Medicine & Dentistry of NJ and as a family therapist for Community Centered Treatment, a multisystemic family therapy program funded by the Montgomery County (PA) family court and juvenile justice system.
I was associated with the Verree Psychology Group (formerly Dubrow-Eichel Psychological Associates) in Philadelphia from 1983 to the end of 2006.
Presently, in addition to my private practice, I am an Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Delaware; previously I was on the part-time faculty at Philadelphia University (5 years) and for 10 years had been on the core faculty of Villanova University's drug & alcohol counseling program.

From 1998-2000, I was President of the Greater Philadelphia Society of Clinical Hypnosis (GPSCH), and was the 2006-07 President of the American Academy of Counseling Psychology, one of the national academies of advanced practitioners (ABPP Diplomates). I have served as a mentor to future candidates for ABPP Board certification. I was the 2009-10 Chair and CEO of the Council of Presidents of Psychology Specialty Academies.

Life In Danger?
American politicians who make waves against the political establishment as proponents for actual change have a poor history of surviving to implement their noble ideas.
In the case of Henry Wallace, powerful party insiders ended his political life by sabotaging his Vice Presidency in the nick of time before Franklin Roosevelt died.
Years later, John F. Kennedy sought to make Henry Wallace's liberal vision a reality, but just as his efforts were catching fire, he was slaughtered on a street in broad daylight, before horrified spectators.
Not long after that, Robert F. Kennedy (a hero to the downtrodden) became a serious competitor for the Democratic nomination, after ending Eugene McCarthy's chances to win the nomination the night of the California Primary. Robert Kennedy of course sought to reclaim the presidency that his brother lost and to expand upon that legacy.
The minutes before he died were a defining moment in his political life. For the first time Kennedy felt that he had stepped out of his brother's shadow with his hard fought win in California. He spoke with his liaison to McCarthy, Richard Goodwin. He had a message for McCarthy. "Tell him that if he gets out now I'll make him Secretary of State." If Kennedy could win over McCarthy and his delegates, he could become a formidable foe for Hubert Humphrey at the Democratic National Convention, now less than three months away. After Kennedy was gunned down, Humphrey won the nomination handily.
A few years later, the Democratic party was in a strange state of disarray, and a populist, semi-disavowed racist named George Wallace was in the lead to win the presidential nomination. He too was gunned down. Unlike Kennedy, he survived, but paralysis ended his presidential aspirations all the same.
It's been 43 years now since a presidential candidate has been shot at. In a degenerate age where paranoids perpetuate mass shootings, what are the chances that a Socialist calling for revolution like Bernie Sanders will face gunfire in the coming months? There is an anger in this country. An anger that liberalism is destroying America, or will destroy America, or would destroy America if given the chance. Some of these angry, white men with an old school mentality have lost a lot in life, and could feel that they have little to lose in taking out a presidential candidate that is (in their minds) practically a Communist.
Or is Bernie Sanders life in danger because of a threat he could face to a corrupt system? Would the intelligence agencies and militant elites that do whatever it takes to maintain their power, allow him to really get elected President? It is an issue worth evaluating as his ascent continues.
Provide Bernie Sanders Secret Service protection immediately as a leading Democratic presidential candidate and Senator.
Bernie Sanders is a sitting U. S. Senator and a leading candidate in the presidential campaign of 2016. Recent disturbances at Bernie Sanders campaign events have shown his vulnerability with regard to potentially violent confrontations with disturbed people. In 2007, at a similar stage in that campaign, Barack Obama was given Secret Service protection by George W. Bush for exactly this reason, and he had not even experienced such disturbances yet, nor was Obama attracting crowds of over 25,000 regularly, as Senator Sanders is. This situation must not be allowed to continue a moment longer. Bernie Sanders must have immediate Secret Service protection, just as the other leading candidate does.

24 Aug ESSEX COUNTY EXECUTIVE DIVINCENZO ANNOUNCES REPAVING PROJECT ON FAIRFIELD ROAD IN FAIRFIELD IS COMPLETE Repaving County Roads Enhances Safety and Improves Quality of Life
Belleville, NJ – Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr. announced that the repaving project on Fairfield Road in Fairfield is complete. The road was included in the 2015 Essex County Roadway Resurfacing Program, which is part of the DiVincenzo Administration's initiative to enhance safety on the roads and the quality of life by modernizing infrastructure.
"Essex residents and motorists rely on our intricate network of roads to get to work, go to school and carry out their daily errands. My administration is committed to making sure our infrastructure is in the most modern condition so that our daily lives are not interrupted," DiVincenzo said. "We apologize for any inconvenience the construction may cause, but the end result will improve our quality of life by making it easier and safer to travel through Essex County," he added.
"Maintaining our infrastructure supports local commerce, enhances our residents' quality of life and promotes economic development," Freeholder Vice President Brendan Gill said. "I commend the County Executive for his diligence in addressing the needs of our communities," he added.
"I'm always happy to see our roadways being improved. Under the leadership of our County Executive, our roads are continually being upgraded," Freeholder Patricia Sebold said.
"On behalf of Fairfield, I would like to thank the County Executive for his cooperation and taking care of the needs of our community," Fairfield Mayor James Gasparini said. "Whenever we ask, the Executive answers quickly and we appreciate that," added the mayor, who was joined by the entire Council: President Thomas Morgan, John LaForge, Michael McGlynn and Joseph Cifelli.
The repaving project in Fairfield encompassed the 2.5-mile stretch of Fairfield Road from Route 46 to Passaic Avenue. It included milling the old surface off the road, repairing broken curbing, improving handicapped ramps and crosswalk areas at intersections, laying new pavement and painting striping on the new surface.
Other roads being modernized with the $5 million grant from the Annual Transportation Program are:
- Irvington: Springfield Avenue from Becker Terrace to South 20th Street
- South Orange: Wyoming Avenue from Luddington Road to South Orange Avenue
- Verona/West Orange: Lakeside Avenue/Pleasant Valley Way from Bloomfield Avenue Eagle Rock Avenue
- West Orange: Pleasant Valley Way from Eagle Rock Avenue to Mt. Pleasant Avenue/Route 10
- Livingston: Walnut Street from Eisenhower Parkway to South Orange Avenue
In addition, Essex County has resurfaced the following roads using a $1 million grant from the CDBG program and $500,000 from its Capital Budget:
- Nutley: Centre Street from St. Mary's Place to Washington Avenue
- Nutley/Belleville: Union Avenue from Centre Street to Greylock Parkway
- Orange: High Street from Washington Street to Main Street
- Orange: Main Street from Valley Road/Northfield Avenue to High Street
- Belleville: Portions of Belleville Avenue from Washington Street to the Bloomfield border
Smith Sondy Asphalt Construction Co. from Wallington was awarded a competitively bid contract for $6.6 million to perform the road work. The project is being supervised by the Essex County Department of Public Works.

Ceramic Water Filter Distribution
Families and schoolchildren will receive water filters, as well as health and hygiene training, in an ongoing BGR project.
Water shortage isn't a problem in this project's rural target area, but water quality is an issue. It directly impacts children's growth and development, along with the health of the general population. This project will provide water filters for people who have been drinking unsafe water for long periods of time, and it will also educate them about why they should use the filters and how to use them properly. Ultimately, these efforts will raise awareness among villagers, schoolteachers and students about the dangers of unsafe water.
In the coming year, the project's leaders will assist and accompany five local teams or churches to conduct basic health trainings. They have planned nine training sessions and have selected 10 executives and local trainers to participate in them and in water filter distributions. Leaders will provide free water supplies to poor areas and struggling families, as well. They plan to distribute 1,000 water filters to 300 families and 20 schools, thereby giving 12,000 people access to safe drinking water.
To Jivan, textbooks and lessons meant marriage and family. He needed an education so he could one day support a wife and children.
When you pass by Gesang's house, he'll offer you a fresh cup of water.
Help those in need of clean water this Christmas.

Think about the amount of water you drink. Imagine you had to boil all of it.

Podere Patrignone approached us to brand their converted olive farm in Tuscany and produce an extensive content managed website. The buildings at Patrignone have been converted to holiday accommodation over the last 20 or so years and the views from the property are stunning.
Trying to capture the fresh air and unspoilt countryside in a logo was challenging to say the least, but it has met a great reception with owners and guests alike.
