AMHERST – While eyes are riveted on the political events currently unfolding in Egypt, people in Western Massachusetts are signing letters, organizing panels and a march in support of the Egyptian people.
Protesters and regime supporters fought in a second day of rock-throwing battles at a central Cairo square while new lawlessness spread around the city, the Associated Press reported Thursday. New looting and arson erupted, and gangs of thugs supporting President Hosni Mubarak attacked reporters, foreigners and rights workers while the army rounded up foreign journalists.
In Amherst, political science professor Jillian Schwedler said a forum was held at the University of Massachusetts Thursday afternoon to discuss the political unrest.
Schwedler, who has lived and worked in Egypt, was one of three people featured at the forum. She said her first reaction to seeing the protests against Mubarak regime was to see if she could go back to be there as it unfolds.
She was also one of several UMass professors along with a Smith College professor who signed a letter to President Barack H. Obama urging him to "move beyond rhetoric to support the democratic movement sweeping over Egypt." The letter, sent earlier this week, was signed by more than 100 faculty members from colleges and universities all over the country.
"For thirty years, our government has spent billions of dollars to help build and sustain the system the Egyptian people are now trying to dismantle," the letter read. "We believe their message is bold and clear: Mubarak should resign from office and allow Egyptians to establish a new government free of his and his family's influence."
While Schwedler said the abuses and repression in Egypt have been well documented in human rights reports and scholarly research, she thinks the general awareness of those abuses is somewhat obfuscated because of the United States' relationship with Egypt. The country receives $1.3 billion in military aid from the United States, she said, and is regarded as a strong ally in the Middle East. But there has been discontent for decades.
She said several seminars on the issues are being organized on the area campuses and UMass will sponsor another one soon. The seminars will focus on this crisis as well as the instability in the region.
On Saturday beginning a 1 p.m. the Western Massachusetts Coalition for Palestine, joined by a myriad organizations from across the Pioneer Valley, plans to hold rally and march in solidarity with the Egyptian people beginning at 1 p.m. at the Haigis Mall at UMass and then will march downtown, ending with an assembly at Amherst College on the steps of Frost Library.
One UMass student studying at American University in Cairo, meanwhile, was evacuated Tuesday, said UMass spokesman Edward F. Blaguszewski. She is in London now.
American International College has a master's program in Cairo for Egyptian students. Craig Greenberg, public relations director at the college said they received an e-mail from Howard Schultz, the campus dean, who reported that everyone there is fine, however, as a precaution they have canceled classes.
The International Master of Education program is about 30 minutes from Tahrir Square where protesters have assembled and most recently clashed with Mubarak supporters.
Mount Holyoke College had one student abroad in Cairo, who was in between fall and spring programs sponsored by the Institute for Study Abroad, which is affiliated with Butler University, college spokesman Max Pearlstein reported. She was evacuated to Greece, and is now in Jordan to participate in a spring semester program there.

Is humanity really capable of tackling grand challenges? Just look at the example of the Human Genome Project.
The mapping of the human genome was an audacious task, explains Eric Green, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute. "It would require an industrialization, a scientific effort that was really unusual for biomedical research." Green points out that biomedical researchers typically have laboratories of half a dozen people. "They work on profoundly difficult problems and they like to explore. They like to ask big questions," Green says.
The Human Genome Project was very different. It had to be a very focused effort with a very defined agenda: Sequence the human genome. The story of this project is told through a current exhibition at the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian called "Genome: Unlocking Life's Code."
In the video below, Green, who collaborated with the Smithsonian on the exhibition, describes how multiple countries and thousands of scholars proved how a "grandly large project requiring many people" could be completed if it has "a very defined goal."

Q2 Holdings, a digital banking vendor targeting regional and community banks, made its initial public offering debut Thursday.
The Austin company, formed in 2005 as CBG Holdings, sells a number of financial services products, including a browser-based banking platform, a mobile app for smartphones and tablets, and a risk and fraud service. The software company, which rebranded to Q2 Holdings in March 2013, charges most of its customers a subscription fee for its software-as-a-service.
Q2 is initially selling its 7,760,870 shares for $13 under the symbol QTWO.
Q2, as of September, claims more than 300 financial services customers, one of the largest of which is Umpqua Bank.
Like most vendors, it wants more customers and estimated in a regulatory filing that the regional and community financial institution market includes upwards of 10,000 banks and credit unions.
"Our current RCFI customers represent less than 3% of the 13,570 federally-insured RCFIs in the U.S. We believe we can capture an increasing portion of the IT spend among RCFIs as we continue to grow our customer base and introduce new solutions," writes the software company in the filing.
All told, the market is greater than $3.5 billion annually, Q2 estimated in the document. The space, however, is competitive. Among the companies Q2 vies with for revenue are Digital Insight, now owned by NCR; First Data and ACI Worldwide. It also competes with core processing vendors such as Fiserv and Jack Henry and Associates.
Q2's growth plans, according to the filing, include selling more services to existing customers such as mobile apps, remote check deposit and mobile bill pay as well as to introduce new services and form more partnerships.
Q2 also said it plans to migrate its data center operations to Dallas from Nevada within the first half of 2014 and hire more sales reps across the U.S.
Already, Q2 has increased its headcount to 400 (as of September) from 203 employees (as of December 2011). The virtual banking provider moved its headquarters in July to a larger space to accommodate this growth.
On a call earlier this year with Bank Technology News, Adam Anderson, executive vice president and chief technology officer of Q2, said the company was recommending that clients better analyze their so-called small data to better target services to their customers. An example of small data is identifying micromerchants who are hiding as retail customers by crunching transaction data to see which ones are regularly processing Square transactions, for example.
Q2, a relatively newer entrant into the digital banking landscape, is known for its playful recruiting tactics to attract coders to the brand in the battle for top talent. Case in point: the company has hosted a retro Arcade night to get prospects interested in the company and exposed to its culture.
Umpqua Bank's CIO, Sonny Sonnenstein cited Q2's architecture as one of the reasons the bank, known for its stellar customer service, chose the company's online and mobile banking software. "It's a very modern approach," Sonnenstein says.
He expects Umpqua to complete a conversion to Q2 by third quarter. The tech investment offers the latest example of an enhancement to the bank's overall customer experience strategy, in which it brings innovations, including events like yoga lessons, into its stores.
"At the end of the day, it's an 'and,' not an 'or,'" says Sonnenstein. "The store is still very vibrant and important.... The next frontier is really blending the two together."

Out west, another smaller dip in the jet can be seen moving into the Pacific Northwest. That will amplify as it moves east by later in the weekend, and could fuel some energy for a weak coastal system along the mid-Atlantic coast by Sunday night.

I've always been a good girl. I grew up in a small town, dated my high school sweetheart all the way through college, and married him. I even waited until our wedding night for my first time. Yeah, that kind of good girl. Finding my husband in bed with the church secretary came as quite a shock, needless to say. Finding out he'd slept with just about every female in town was an even bigger shock.
Discovering those dirty little secrets is what sent me on a journey that I will never forget.
Once again, not my cup of tea as I prefer long story.
The beginning is interesting. Like the way the author describe a traumatic event with a lot of humor when her character discovers her husband is cheating on her.
I was less fan with the makeover and the Cinderella Ball that comes after. As well as with Delilah running away…
I thought the the story was rushed. :-(
Will not read the series...

Auditor general calls for more chronic illness care improvements
Services for patients with chronic conditions such as heart disease and diabetes need to be improved, said a spending watchdog.
About a third of the Welsh adult population - 800,000 people - are affected by a chronic condition.
But services were "poorly coordinated" despite some improvements, the report by the Wales Audit Office warned.
The Welsh government said it would consider the findings alongside its existing plans for improvements.
The findings published by the Auditor General, Huw Vaughan Thomas, follow a similar study carried out on chronic conditions in 2008.
Since then a number of Welsh government strategies and policies have been published to try and shift the emphasis of NHS care from hospitals to the community.
According to Mr Thomas's latest report progress has been made, with improved access to patient education programmes, more nurses working in a community setting and patients able to get quicker access to community-based services.
Hospital admissions for certain chronic conditions have also reduced.
But the report concluded that more work was needed.
It said several health boards lacked a detailed plan to deliver care in the community.
People with chronic conditions tend to be frequent users of A&E services because when their health worsens, they often need to access services quickly.
They are twice as likely to be admitted to hospital as patients without such conditions.
But Mr Thomas found over half of the community-based services for patients with chronic illnesses were still only available on weekdays, and the work of different teams treating these patients needed to be better co-ordinated.
The report also calls for better information to plan and monitor the delivery of chronic condition services.
'Education is patchy'
"It is encouraging to note the progress that has been made in developing services for people with chronic conditions," Mr Thomas said.
"However, it is clear that more needs to be done to meet the growth in demand for chronic conditions services that will inevitably come as populations grow older."
Derek Cummings, who suffers with the serious lung condition chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, said patients needed to be educated.
"The worse thing with people like us is to go down with an infection on a Friday, especially on a bank holiday when the doctors are closed, we can't get hold of our antibiotics, we can't get hold of steroids and then we end up in hospital, possibly with pneumonia - so there's lots that can be done," he said.
"Just by educating people like me, what we need to do to keep out of hospital, how to self-treat at home, how to manage those conditions, then we don't actually get to such a point of needing to go to hospital.
"The education is patchy."
A Welsh government spokesperson said: "We accept there is still more to do at local level to plan and deliver health and social services in, or close to, people's homes.
"We will now consider the recommendations in detail alongside our existing plans for further improvements."

Breaking Bad may be coming to an end this Sunday, but television viewers won't need to wait very long before seeing Bryan Cranston again on the small screen.

Nate Fantasia
Nate Fantasia is an up-and-coming ripper from Denver Colorado that skates for BLVD, 10 Deep, The Denver Shop, Nike SB, and Bones. You can catch Nate online in BLVD's Stay In Front promo, his recent 10 Deep Commercial, and the Hollarado. Nate also just dropped a brand new part in The Denver Shop's new video titled Stakes Is High and is currently filming for the upcoming BLVD project that should be releasing sometime in the near future. We recently got Nate to answer a couple of questions for us to get some insight into who he is and what he's got planned for 2012, check it out below.
48 Blocks: Start with the basics, how old are you, where are you from originally, and how did you get started skating?
Nate: Im 26 and im from Denver colorado… my introduction to skateboarding was in 5th / 6th grade , I moved to a new part of town when my parents split and the first friends I met at my new school were into skating. I got my first board in 7th grade.
48 Blocks: Talk a little about growing up in Colorado. What's the skate scene like out there? You have to deal with some harsh winters, how did that impact your progression?
Nate: Winter here in Denver is no different than any other city in the midwest or in the East Coast. Lots of snow, cold, and bullshit… The skate scene is dope though, lots of dudes ripping and a lot of new parks! night life probably impacted my progression more then the winters ha!
48 Blocks: Who was your first sponsor and how did you hook up with them?
Nate: My first sponsor was the Denver Shop and Bones. I met the owner of the shop Tony Mellick through some friends I grew up with and Tony got me hooked up with Washburn at Bones.
48 Blocks: You skate for the Denver Shop and had a sick part in Hollarado. How long did you film for that?
Nate: Thanks, a few years maybe – I don't know. Those were the best days coming up, not a care in the world just out skating and filming with the homies!
48 Blocks: You were on Listen and now skate for BLVD, how did you hook up with Rob and Danny?
Nate: I guess through mutual friends, a buddy Walter Lacey introduced me to Vern Laird back when Listen was starting up. Vern was the team manager of Listen and he really looked out for me. He got me on some trips with the crew and I guess they were just down for me. By the time Listen was over and done we were all a family and when Rob and Danny decided to start up BLVD we just kept it moving!
48 Blocks: You're also getting stuff from Nike, how did that happen and what's it like being a part of such an elite team?
Nate: Shit, I guess being in the right place at the right time. Through Tony at the Denver Shop, Adam Brown, Rob Sissi, Hunter, and Andy Henrie. All those dudes looked out for me so it's all because of them. I've only met a couple guys on the team but the Nike squad is dope.
48 Blocks: What's your personal favorite Nike SB?
Nate: Janoski mids! Best skate shoe period!
48 Blocks: Tell us about 10 Deep, when did you meet German and get on the team and what's it like working with them?
Nate: When Listen dropped the Viajeros Locos video we had a couple premiers, one of them was in New York. I met Germ when i was out in NY on that trip. A couple months later he got the ball rolling with 10 Deep and he hit me up and asked if i wanted to be a part of the squad. I'm hyped to be down with 10 Deep! Like BLVD it's a close crew and everybody's homies.
48 Blocks: The 10 Deep skate team seems like a really tight-nit group. What's it like traveling and skating with Daniel, Jamal, Lima, Tone, and German?
Nate: It is! Some of my best experiences in life have been on the road with 10 Deep! It's a pretty diverse squad but we all kinda share the same outlook on life. Everybody brings something different to the table so it's never a dull moment when we're out in the streets.
48 Blocks: 10 Deep is definitely in it's own lane as far as fashion and image, what does the company represent to you and what about their clothes / image is appealing to you?
Nate: The best part about 10deep is no matter how big it gets it is still run like a small brand, everyone pitches ideas and everyone's voice is heard… we all agree it's about the quality not quantity. The gear is super dope too and it isn't really directed towards one specific style or genre. It's the best shit out!!
48 Blocks: You just took a trip with to Brazil with BLVD, was that your first time going down there? What was that experience like, any good or crazy stories from your time there?
Nate: I dont know where to start! That was my first time leaving the country for skateboarding and I feel so blessed for that, our trip was epic; but other than the skate footy what happened in Brazil stays in Brazil! Thanks to all our friends down there who made that trip possible. The skaters of Brazil have so much heart and passion for life, it was dope to see how they live and to see everybody down there killing it! The spots there are so raw! shout out to Matriz skateshop, they recently had their 10 year anniversary and are holding it down in brazil.
48 Blocks: Where else has skateboarding taken you so far and where would you like to go that you have not been yet?
Nate: Brazil was my only time outta the states for skating, but hopefully there's more to come! I love traveling, seeing and understanding different cultures gives you more appreciation for life. It's hard to pick one place that I wanna go, but Egypt would be amazing!
48 Blocks: What projects are you working on in 2012, are there any new video parts in the work?
Nate: We just finished up the new Denver Shop video called Stakes Is High! It just premiered on December 29th, so be on the lookout for that. We have a BLVD am video in the works and there's talks of some 10 Deep projects coming soon, but I can't speak on that yet.
48 Blocks: You were recently out in LA and filmed that recent 10 Deep commercial. How does LA compare to Colorado for skating and chilling?
Nate: LA is dope because thats where skateboarding lives, you can be outdoors skating year round and there's so much to skate there! Denvers dope cause it's a lot more laid back, there's ill skate parks being built everyday, all the homies are here, and it's still off the radar.
48 Blocks: What do you do besides skateboarding to occupy your time?
Nate: I love music! So diggin for samples and making beats, photography is dope too! Lots of work lately, gotta pay the bills…
48 Blocks: Who are some skaters both past and present that have influenced you?
Nate: Fuck, so many skater over the years have paved the road for us younger dudes today, it's hard to pick only a couple that have influenced me. Thanks to ALL the OG skaters! Some of my personal favorites over the years have been Marc Johnson, Busenitz, Heath Kirtchart, Ray Barbee is the best dude ever on and off his board, John Cardiel, Keenan, Stevie, Mike Carroll, Evan Smith, Willy Akers, the whole BLVD family is inspiration daily, Tyler Price, and all the Denver homies when I was growing up!Brandon Sigala RIP!
48 Blocks: BLVD's Stay In Front promo left a lot of people wanting to see more. Is there a full-legnth video in the works? If so when do you think we'll be seeing it?
Nate: BLVD has video in the works, everybody on the team will have stuff but the main focus of the video will be the ams! early 2012 is what we're shooting for.
48 Blocks: What's an average day for you like? Do you work or go to school or anything, or are you able to skate full time?
Nate: To be able to skate full time and pay the bills like that is the dream! Unfortunately that's not how it works so I do work full time and I gotta balance work and skating.
48 Blocks: You definitely have the skills to go pro and I'm sure that's something that you're working towards. Is that something that you see for yourself in the near future and has there been any talks at BLVD about giving you a board?
Nate: I'm just riding the wave 'til it comes crashing down. Really I'm just hyped to have skateboarding in my life! Through skateboarding I've been introduced to everyone and everything that I know and love! That's all that's really important to me.
48 Blocks: Any last words or things that you'd like to mention to wrap this up?
Nate: get off the internet and go skate!

Featuring a custom-made concentric driver, the ELAC Uni-Fi UF5 tower loudspeaker plays music with high levels of accuracy, timing, and coherency normally not found in models anywhere near its price. Designed by speaker expert Andrew Jones, Uni-Fi UF5 offers listeners a combination of performance and value that places it at the top of the best buys in audio. Its precision, imaging, and dynamics attributes stem from both the balanced three-way design and in-house-developed concentric driver – in which the combination of a one-inch soft-dome tweeter and rigid, four-inch aluminum midrange cone yield uniform directivity, excellent power handling, and superior frequency response. Three 5.25-inch woofers supply profound depth. The audiophile-grade components extend to an advanced crossover that leads to seamless, smooth integration between the lows and highs. Internally braced cabinets add stiffness and reduce resonance, while a high-end base and feet contribute extra stability and coupling to the floor. Magnetically attached grilles give you the option of either seeing or concealing the drivers. Simple in appearance and stunning in execution, Uni-Fi UF5 changes what's possible from a sub-$1k high-end tower. 100% Music Direct Money-Back Guaranteed.
"I've heard a huge number of $1,000-per-pair tower speakers. I did my first shootout of them for an industry magazine about 20 years ago...and the UF5 is the best I've heard to date. It's a great value, it's impeccably engineered, and it simply sounds great. Plop a couple down in your living room, hook 'em up to a decent receiver or amp, and you'll experience some of the best sound the audio biz has to offer--at a cost that an average household can easily afford."
—Brent Butterworth, HomeTheaterReview.com
Custom-Made Concentric Driver: Usually Only Found in Higher-Priced Designs
In Uni-Fi UF5, the delicacy of a one-inch soft-dome tweeter and harmonic accuracy of a rigid four-inch aluminum midrange cone come together in a sonic symphony. Positioning the tweeter concentrically within the midrange voice coil achieves a uniform directivity pattern, for flat frequency response and formidable power handling, along with enhanced imaging for both on- and off-axis listening positions.
Balanced Three-Way Design for Optimal Sound
A three-way speaker offers many advantages. In assigning dedicated drivers to high, mid- and bass frequencies, each is optimized for the frequency range for which its design and material composition is best suited. A three-way speaker complement also allows for a more straightforward crossover and cabinet design, eliminating costly solutions. By using aluminum for each woofer, resonances that affect the linearity of common paper cones are placed beyond the driver's operating frequency range. An extended-size magnet with vented pole piece increases power handling for accurate, clean, and powerful reproduction of bass frequencies.
Quality Extends to Cabinets, Base, and Feet
Each Uni-Fi UF5 enclosure is engineered with thick MDF outer walls and a luxurious, textured vinyl finish. The cabinets and the channel incorporate specially designed internal bracing to add stiffness and strength to the cabinet's outer walls. This bracing greatly reduces cabinet vibration, which causes unwanted coloration to the sound. An outrigger base design provides a larger, more stable footprint and adds stability and optimum coupling of the speaker cabinet to the floor. Molded knobs dial in precise leveling of the four corners, which are supplied with metal spikes and spike stands. Custom-designed five-way binding posts provide flexibility for speaker wire connections and ensure optimal electron transfer from speaker cables to the speaker.

It's designed for use without nail polish (it's neither a base coat or a top coat) and is formulated with nourishing ingredients including Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C; their inclusion supposedly helps to protect your nails look both in the short and long term. The formula contains glass microspheres to give the nails a natural radiance and chip-fighting finish, the overall result being healthier looking nail beds. There's even the inclusion of UV protection, helping to product nails from turning brittle and ageing when exposed to the elements; this is very much a skincare product reformulated to target an area of the body often rejected. The result on the nail is really quite nice, providing a subtle peach tint that helps to minimise imperfections and discolouration. It's extremely thin, meaning your nails still feel as if their au naturel even when they're not, and dries within seconds to leave a fab looking nail.
Although I was quite dubious, this is a great little product that helps your naked nail to look a little bit better without the need for endless lotions and potions. It's pleasant to apply, makes nails look and feel fab, plus has added benefits to keep them looking great in the long term... (They always say the key to a woman's real age is in her hands, so anything that prevents them ageing is surely a good thing!) Although this is £15.00 a bottle and you can probably get a peach tinted polish for much cheaper, what you're paying for is the expertise and long-term results - not unlike investing in a serum or moisturiser. Right now you can even get a free bottle of Orly Argan Cuticle Oil (worth £15.95) if you buy online, helping your nails to look even healthier.
What do you think of this latest innovation for nails? Do you buy into the idea of BB Cream for your talons, or do you think it's a step too far?

Welcome to Moonstone Setters.
Moonstone Kennel, previously located in southern Rhode Island, was established in 1988 when I obtained my first Gordon Setter from the notable Rockaplenty Kennel in Virginia. It was the beginning of a wonderful journey into the world of setters. Since that time many of our "kids and grand kids" have gone on to earn titles in conformation, obedience, and field. All are terrific family companions.
As of April 2011 we are now located in Malone, NY, but still have strong connections in RI.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.
Thank you for visiting my site and checking out the dogs.

"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole."
-Roger Caras
I had shown my Doberman, Godfrey's Krakerjax, only in obedience. We had a great deal of success both in AKC and Canada. After Kracker died at the age of 14, I decided to get a Gordon Setter. I had wanted a dog that could do both breed and obedience. Rockaplenty's Fantasy (Fancy) earned Championships in both AKC and Canada. She easily earned her AKC Companion Dog (CD) with three high-in-trials. Fancy was also #1 gordon setter in novice and #1 in advanced obedience in Canada. Both Fancy and Sarah were used during Kidz Dayz (a childrens summer camp), visited nursing homes, and schools. Sarah's son, UCH Moonstone Maxwell Smart, and grandaughter, UCH Moonstone Keltic Lass JH, are featured in a book published in Britain called GORDON SETTER by Lavonia Harper. Fancy's grandaughter, UCH Moonstone Heiress JH, was #1 Gordon Setter in UKC in 2000.
In the fall of 2000 I was sent in a whole new direction when I obtained my first Irish Red & White Setter from the world famous Ardbraccan Kennel of Miss Trudy Walsh of Dublin, Ireland. Ardbraccan Grainne (How could I resist her when we share the same birthday?) easily earned her AKC, American Rare Breed, and Rarities Championships-- going Reserve Best in Show and Best in Specialty along the way. In June of 2003 Grainne gave birth to ten lovely puppies- several have begun their show careers with excellent success by earning Championships in American Kennel Club, United Kennel Club and American Rare Breed Association (ARBA).
Please feel free to send me those special photos of your Moonstone dog. I'd love to add them to the site. Thanks for stopping in for a visit. Come back soon.

Google doesn't automatically crawl every section of your site. As a result, if you're wasting Google's time on pages that are not optimised you may loose your rankinks. A Strong SILO architecture is the only way to avoid this. If you ignore any technical SEO facts, this could be a real problem for your site. Let us drive organic traffic!
Technical SEO
If you are using the wrong header codes or tags you might be in problem aswell. Users and search engines always need solid header codes to be able to crawl your pages, and if you haven't properly optimised your site for this aspect, you could miss one of the most important aspects of your seo procedures. Faster website has been ranked better for years, and search engines are taking this as an important seo fact. If your site is slow to load, Google may lower it`s rank because isn't a good experience for visitors. a good hosting is mandatory , but there are factors as importants as the server speed and configuration. An example of optimisation is compression of images.
Keyword Research
When you want to optimise your website, first you need to know which are the most searched keywords, and on what keywords to focus. The best tool I recommend for keyword research is Google Keywords Planner.
Firstly we think about what`s your business about, what services or products you sell, and write down a list of keywords. We need to think what to write on search engine so people can find the products or goods like yours. Then we put each word from the list on Keywords Planner so it can generate a list of keywords, derivate from yours and it tells us very useful informations : how many searches they estimate a month for those keywords. This is a huge help that Google gives to you, so we know on which keywords to focus in your SEO campaign.
After this we need to find your potential competitors, usually the first 5 websites that appear in organic SERP when you type one of your keywords. Then we make a list of url`s for each keyword , because this is the place we want you to be, on FIRST PAGE! So all our researches needs to be related to the websites are already on first page.
Then we analyse your competitor's website for different factors. We use tools to do this. With this, we can make an idea about how far you need to get, in order to rank your website. If you have a high competition, will take longer to rank on first page, but all depends about our work, efforts and knowledge. Then the competitors will show you what types of links you can build in the link-building campaign. But we talk about this later on third Step. Basically after this first step we now have a list with the most searched keywords for your website and expressions ,which is very important!
On-Page SEO
After knowing your best keywords, we start to create content for your website. Most important to keep in mind during all time when we create your content is that we add some of your keywords in the context, so the search engines will understand what is the website about.
Title Tag
This is one major SEO element, because is the title of the page. Each page should have unique title tags, but in same time relevant to the context and to the chosen keywords. If the title tag is the same for all pages, is considered that you are trying to spam that keyword to get better rankings.
Meta-keywords tag
Used to be the most important factor of seo, but after the last updates of search engines, they are apparently disabled.We add them of course, but we saw that they doesn't count anymore as a seo factor, and doesn't appear anymore in searches, under the website link and description. Now they are considered useless, because search engines realised that you should be found by your content from your website and its quality, not on something that can be manipulated easily. This fact makes searches more exactly.
This is the most important part in SEO – link-building. The procedures involves much effort and work because we need to create relevant links from other websites , to your website. Creating this backlinks basically we send FlowTrust to your website so it will get better rankings. The quality of backlinks is mandatory. Search engines doesn't accept any more automatic backlinks made by scripts, and redirect backlinks, because they are not relevant and spammy.
Meta-description tag
This helps the search engine to understand a summary of your website content. It should contain also some of your keywords but not in excess, because will be considered spam. This need to match some keywords from your content aswell, so it will have relevance with the context.
Keywords in content
The content is the most important part. Your content should dominate your website , without excessive images. All you major keywords should be in the content, but with relevance , not put randomly in the article. If there are very important words , they need to be bolded or written with a different colours as you like so , easier to see .
Header Tags
When we say header tags we refer to the h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6 tags. These should be declared in CSS with the difference in font size. That means that H1 tag should be the title of the body content, or article. Here the major keywords needs to be placed, but in same time it needs to be relevant to the content. Then the H2 tag is like sub-title of the article content. This is essential like the Title Tag because it helps search engine to determine the subject of your website's products or services.
SILO Arhitecture
Before You Want To Launch Your Website We Try To Do Everything That You Need In Your Website, Logo, Design, Fonts,Colors,Menu And Content. But The Most Important And A Major Factor Is The SILO Arhitecture. The Initial Structure Building Is To Make All Main Pages Child To The Homepage. Then we create posts that link from and to the main pages. This helps indexing faster because it`s easier to navigate and the visitors can find quickly what they need!
Image ALT-Tags
We know that a website without photos is not good looking. Every websites are always "tuned" with photos, galleries and icons that describe their business. But how it's possible for a search engine to realise about what is that picture? Because it will see only the filename and extension. But if we use an alt-tag on your images, this will tell to search engine the subject of the images. You always like to search for photos and wallpapers online right? And how you search for them? Because search engines can't read a content of a photo, it reads the alt-tag so it will know how to group and sort them.

Whether standard essential patents holders (hereinafter "SEP holders") who have made commitments to license the patents on fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory terms ("FRAND commitments") to standard-setting organizations should be granted injunctive relief and in what situation the granting of the injunctive relief should be restricted are hot topics in the intersection between competition law and intellectual property law in recent years. The United States Department of Justice and the United States Patent and Trademark Office jointly issued Policy Statement on Remedies for Standards-essential Patents Subject to Voluntary F/RAND Commitments[1] in January, 2013, stating that SEP holders might try to exploit the injunction to pressure an implementer of a standard to accept more onerous licensing terms than the SEP holder would be entitled to receive consistent with the F/RAND commitment, which would violate F/RAND commitments made by SEP holders and may harm public interests; therefore, the statement advised that injunctive relief should not be given unless under certain circumstances, such as where the putative licensee is unable or refuses to take a F/RAND license and is acting outside the scope of the SEP holder's commitment to license on F/RAND terms.[2] Although the statement above issued by DOJ and USPTO is not binding legally, it indicates basic attitudes of these two authorities, which is also consistent with the principles of granting injunctive relief set in eBay case by the US Supreme Court[3]. Generally speaking, the US practices in granting injunctive relief are from the perspective of patent infringement and by balancing the hardship of both sides.
Compared to the US approach, the EU prefers to solve the problem under the context of competition law. If the injunction seeking activity is deemed as an abuse of dominance conduct in violation of TFEU 102, the SEP at issue would be subject to mandatory license. On July 16, 2015, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruled in response to questions raised by the German court regarding circumstances in which the bringing of an action for injunctive relief, by an undertaking in a dominant position and holding an SEP, which has given FRAND commitments to the standardization body, is to be regarded as constituting an abuse contrary to Article 102 TFEU. CJEU noted that SEP holders cannot, without infringing Article 102 of TFEU, apply for injunctive relief against the alleged infringer without notice or prior consultation with the alleged infringer, even if the SEP has already been used by the alleged infringer. Specifically, CJEU required that the SEP holder shall, prior to the application of injunctive relief, alert the alleged infringer and provide a specific written offer, while the licensee shall respond in time, make counter offers and provide appropriate security.[4] Such ruling provides the SEP licensors and licensees with guidance on their rights and obligations before the application of injunctive relief.
The development of the injunctive relief for SEP holders has always been a heated topic in competition law and intellectual property law in China, and it has been discussed actively, but with no clear conclusion. Recently, the Supreme People's Court has provided certain clarifications in this regard in its newly issued Interpretation (II) of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Patent Infringement Dispute Cases (hereinafter the "Interpretation (II)"), which could be regarded as a breakthrough step in this area.
According to Article 24 of Interpretation (II)[5], under the following conditions, the court would generally not support the explicitly disclosed and FRAND-encumbered SEP holder's application of injunctive relief: (i) when the SEP holder and the alleged infringer conduct negotiation on the licensing terms, the SEP holder intentionally violates its FRAND commitment, which results in the failure to conclude a patent licensing contract, and (ii) the alleged infringer is not obviously at fault in the process of negotiation.[6]
Interpretation (II) has come into force on 1st April, 2016. In fact, the above mentioned provisions are set from patent law and tort law perspectives[7], which is similar to the US approach, in determining whether to grant injunctive relief, rather than by examining whether the seeking of injunction constitutes an abuse of dominant position. The Supreme People's Court is of the view that since standards could be widely adopted, once the patent becomes a standard-essential patent, the dispute will then go beyond the scope of traditional IP infringement disputes. Thus, different from ordinary patent infringement where the subjective fault will not be considered, for an SEP infringement, it should consider subjective state when the defendants are making defenses.[8] That is to say, when the SEP holder is at fault while the alleged infringer is not, the court may not support the injunctive relief.[9]
As a summary of judicial practices, the above mentioned provisions of the Interpretation (II) only provide the guidance where consensus has been reached, while leaving other areas intact. For instance, the Interpretation (II) only mentions about recommended standards, but not mandatory standards; only about explicitly disclosed SEPs, but not undisclosed patents; only about the circumstances where SEP holders are at fault, but not where both parties are at fault. The Chief Justice of the Third Civil Chamber of the Supreme People's Court stated that, at a press conference, "considering that SEP related issues are very complicated, the Interpretation (II) abandoned the idea of trying to cover relevant issue "comprehensively" when drafting the Interpretation (II). Therefore, the Supreme People's Court only provided clarifications on the typical issues where there is consensus, while not touching upon those controversial issues. In particular, in December of 2013, the Standardization Administration of the People's Republic of China and the State Intellectual Property Office jointly issued the Interim Provisions on the Administration of National Standards Involving Patents (the "Interim Provisions"), which clarifies that patents involved in the national standards should be essential patents. In order to keep consistent with the above mentioned Interim Provisions, the Interpretation (II) only stipulates provisions in relation to recommended standards and relevant essential patents explicitly disclosed. For the issues that are not mentioned by the Interim Provisions, such as undisclosed patents, mandatory standards and international standards, etc., they will be left to the following judicial practices."[10]
Despite all this, the Interpretation (II) can to some extent prevent SEP holders from taking advantages of using injunction relief to impose unfair licensing terms, which in turn may reduce the possibility of "patent hold-up"[11]. On the other hand, the Interpretation (II) also raises requirements to the implementer of the standard during the negotiation of licensing terms in order to qualify as willing licensee who is not obviously at fault in the process of negotiation, which could in turn reduce the possibility of "patent hold-out"[12]. The above provisions have provided certain restrictions to the application of the injunctive relief, which to some extent reflect the tendency of making the conditions of applying injunction stricter in various countries in recent years.
However, from the perspective of competition law, the Interpretation (II) does not touch upon whether and how the SEP holders' seeking of injunction should be regulated by antimonopoly law. According to Article 17 of Anti-monopoly Law (the "AML") and relevant practices in other jurisdictions, there could be two ways of regulating the abuse of injunction by SEP holders: first, similar to the EU approach[13], the abuse of injunction itself could be treated as an abusive conduct, which can be prohibited by the "catch all" provision of article 17(7) of AML; the second way is to regulate abuse of injunction only when the injunction is used as a tool by the SEP holders to compel the licensees to accept unfair licensing terms prohibited by Article 17 of the AML, such as excessive pricing, refusal to deal, exclusive dealing, tying or discrimination, etc. According to the released draft IP guidelines drafted by the NDRC and SAIC, the abuse of injunction by SEP holders is also an issue that will be regulated thereunder. Based on the language of relevant provisions, we understand that both NDRC and SAIC take the second approach mentioned above. However, how the Anti-monopoly Commission under the State Council treats the abuse of injunction by SEP holders in its final version of the IP guidelines and how relevant provision would be applied in practice remain to be tested and deserve continuous attention by antitrust field and IP industry.
