Hinchinbrook Planning Area
The Hinchinbrook Planning Area extends from Dunk Island in the north to Halifax Bay in the south and generally about 10 to 20 kilometres offshore (see Download Map).
So that the area can remain a spectacular low-key natural destination, there are important management arrangements in place. Explore this page and its links to find out about arrangements for tourism operations in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park portion of the Planning Area (most of the Area). Your permit may describe additional arrangements for Queensland internal waters (including the Hinchinbrook Channel). Contact the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service about particular management arrangements for those areas.
Can I operate in the Hinchinbrook Planning Area?
Your permit will tell you if you can operate in the Hinchinbrook Planning Area. If you are able to operate there:
- Check the permit for any conditions of operation.
- Check whether you are required to make a booking to operate in the Area.
- Check for additional endorsements or letters of authorisation.
If you have a permit issued before 15 April 2004 that allows more than 50 days access per year, it is important that you understand the transition arrangements set out in the Hinchinbrook Plan of Management 2004. You can continue to regularly access the area in accordance with your permit until you are invited to apply for eligibility under the Plan and a decision is made on your application. Providing that you have made adequate use of the Area, you will be eligible for an Open Tour Operation permission (those able to continue to access the Area without a booking) which will be reflected by an endorsement or letter of authorisation to your permit.
If you are not permitted to operate in the Hinchinbrook Planning Area but wish to, there is a range of permits available.
Are there special requirements?
Within the Hinchinbrook Planning Area, group size and anchoring access is managed at each Location (generally the area within the 500 metre line of the edge of a reef).
For areas of exceptional nature conservation, cultural and heritage, scientific or use values (Sensitive Locations and for Significant Bird Sites there are specific requirements about how frequently you may access the location and the activities you undertake).
Depending on your style of operation, you may need to be aware of some special rules for the activities of anchoring and mooring and motorised water sports in the Hinchinbrook Planning Area.
You can help protect large animals such as dugong, dolphin and marine turtles and their habitat by using the designated Transit Lanes.

There is a guy I know who has two teenage girls and for anyone with even one teenage girl you know how hard it can be to parent teenagers of the female variety. From the outside looking in it seems to me that he is too scared to parent them the right way, and that is by saying the word "no" or by letting them know that certain things are wrong and he won't approve of them. He'd rather let them do the things he doesn't approve of just so he doesn't have to fight with them. He'd rather be their friend than their parent.
Looking at our society today you can see that people want God to be a Father like that guy, they want Him to be the guy who is too afraid of how we might react to enforce His rules.
In fact many people preach this version of God to the world, that it doesn't matter what you do just ask for forgiveness and move on. They want to see God as someone who loves them no matter what and that's true but it's not the whole story.
I've met fathers who are strict…very strict. They make a command and the kids must obey or instantly suffer the consequences, follow the rules in order to earn their fathers favor, do this and do that, work hard and maybe dad will love them.
Kids that grow up in this authoritarian type of home tend to work really hard and that's a good thing but they also think they have to do life the same way and end up pushing people away and never experiencing true love.
Many religious people see God like this, like unless we follow and obey and earn His love we will never get to Heaven.
They lean towards the Old Testament laws and want to follow all 613 of them, on top of the Ten Commandments.
Either God is Love or He is Just is what many believe. What if I told you that He is both?
God is Love AND He is Just.
God is not going to look past some of our sins for fear that we may no longer love Him, He told us what's right and what's wrong and He does expect us understand that.
God does not expect us to earn our way either, we know what is wrong and we will fail. We can try really hard to follow all of the OT laws and we will never succeed, if we lived a thousand years we would never get to the point where we could see a checkmark beside each of those 613 laws.
If we can't earn our way and God isn't just going to let us in as we are then how in the world are we ever going to get into heaven?
That is where Jesus steps in, fulfilling the OT laws and sending us in a new direction, He will pay for the sins we have committed and He will conquer the death that belongs to us, He doesn't just show up and teach some things about love, He arrives and sends all of the religious people into a frenzy.
No longer are they the rulers of religion, no longer must you obey or die, no longer said Jesus. The greatest commandment is love declares Jesus, love for God and love for one another.
If we were to put all of our decisions through the test of love before we made them, our world would be in a much better situation.
Christians (myself included) tend to look out into the world and say "it's gone crazy" but the truth is the world is trying to live without God.
We stand on our pedestal and judge and condemn the evildoers while we do nothing to help them.
We can't help them by classifying an entire group as wrong, we help them when we go one by one and face to face, befriend them, love them and pray for them.
We need to be careful though because we have a habit of preaching the "God loves you" gospel and leaving out the "God is just" part of it.
When we only talk about how God loves and we leave out the "just" part we paint a picture of a God who will forgive and forgive, over and over and He will, but He still expects us to be transformed by the Holy Spirit and live in such a way that is glorifying to Him.
When we only preach the God of justice we sound like those "Christians" everyone makes fun of and no one will take us seriously.
Like the two examples I started with, the two fathers at opposite ends of the spectrum, we need to find a happy place in the middle where we see God for who He truly is, a Just God, a Loving God who will love you no matter what but He will also be just when it comes to giving us what we deserve, unless we can show people that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Then and only then can we avoid what we've earned which is death and receive that which we did not earn which is eternal life.
God is not only love or only just, God is just and love, He loved us so much He gave us His Son, God was just to the point that it cost Him His Son.
Those that see Him as only love, or only just aren't seeing the big picture. Do we deserve death? Yes. Did Jesus deserve death? No. Yet He died and we live and that my friends is true, just love.
Thanks for reading.

Too often in the macho world of bakkies it's all about size. But as Bruce Fraser finds out, the limited edition NP200 ICE is a reminder that half tonne bakkies can still provide lots of practicality and fun to boot.
What is this car all about?
Looking to get in to the bakkie segment without not necessarily busting the bank? Then this is a pretty good place to start. The leisure/commercial segment continues to grow in popularity and the NP200 manages to cross the divide between work and pleasure with ease.
What's under the hood?
No surprises here. First up is an engine we have come to enjoy in the Micra, Qashqai and Juken – the super reliable and fuel-friendly 1.5 dCi turbodiesel. Pushing out 63kW and 200Nm it sips a claimed 5.3l/100km. Also available is the 8-valve 1.6 litre petrol engine which delivers 64kW and 128Nm and chugs down a reasonable 8.1l/100km. Both engines are mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.
Does is stand out from the crowd?
The limited edition ICE certainly received a few admiring glances as we headed down the M4 that hugs the scenic KwaZulu-Natal coastline. This is probably helped by the stylish 15-inch alloy wheels (unique to this vehicle), daytime running lights, a special aluminium nudge bar, sports bar and dark tinted safety film on the windows. Just about forgot to mention the ICE decals which are quite tastefully positioned on the vehicle.
What's noteworthy on the inside?
The design and layout of the cabin revolves around functionality and practicality. Think along the lines of rubber carpets and cloth seats. The entertainment system – complete with hands-free Bluetooth, USB connection and audio streaming – worked a treat. Must admit, though, the manual window winders took me back in time!
Is it good to drive?
I've always enjoyed the NP200 and this new addition is no different. There is nothing complicated about it from a driver's perspective and the practicality of that large load bin (800-kilogram payload) means you will never be short of friends at the weekend.
Who's going to lose sleep about this car?
The direct competitor to this vehicle is obviously the Chevrolet Utility – and believe me, they have some pretty good specials on at the moment. But where the NP200 ICE scores is in its exclusivity (just 1600 will be produced) along with an excellent 6-year/150 000km warranty.

Failing that I have started making marmalade with any citrus I have around. Yesterday's version was made using 2 lemons and a mandarin, and it turned out great.
1 grapefruit 4 cups of water
1 lemon 4 cups of sugar
Grate the skins then thinly slice the fruit removing the pips.
Boil with the water for 20 minutes.
Add the sugar and boil for a further 30 minutes at a rolling boil.
Bottle into sterilized jars when a blob on a saucer passes the wrinkle test.
This makes 2 and a bit jars. I keep mine in the fridge until ready to use as I don't seal them.
I've noticed my root ginger has grown a couple of shoots since it has been sitting in my fruit bowl so I am going to try growing it. I've just done a little research and it seems easy enough. I'm going to start it in a pot, then in spring transfer it outside to a warm spot but not in full sun, with good fertile soil. It is apparently best not to harvest it for 2 years to let it get going.
Meanwhile it seems that peeled ginger root can be stored in brandy to have it available for use anytime. I'm off to do this too, as I'm not going to plant the whole ginger, just a couple of knobs of it.
Maybe everyone knows how to do this, but I'll put it in anyway. It's another of Mother's little gems. How to fold sheets of newspaper into secure little bags for when you want to send a plant off with a visitor.
|fold the top of a double sheet of newspaper over by 1/3
|turn it over and fold from the side 1/3 of width
|fold the other edge into the centre, tucking it under the top flap
|fold the bottom up to tuck under the top flap
|tadah...open out into a bag and fill.

Get ahead of the game with these gifts for dads of all types
Kew II House, by Melbourne architect Rachel Nolan of Kennedy Nolan, explores methods of building in the context of an 'English-style' arts and crafts house, resulting in breathtaking interiors with bespoke joinery and finishes of the highest quality at every turn. The existing home was internally re-organised to add a new sense of scale to the interiors and engage them directly with the garden.

Harper boys basketball tourney won by Comfort
Comfort High School went through the boys' division of the Harper Basketball Tournament unscathed, registering a 3-0 in winning the annual holiday multi-school action over the weekend.
The host Longhorns tied with the tournament's other two teams with identical 1-2 records.
Harper opened action Thursday morning by losing to Comfort, 62-23. In that game, HHS player Layne Holmes netted seven points and three steals.
From there, the 'Horns squeezed by Boerne Geneva 30-29 on the strength of a Brett Dunning floater from the lane with less than two seconds remaining in the contest.
Dunning scored 10 points and pulled down eight rebounds.
Meanwhile, Holmes contributed another nine points to the Harper cause.
The Longhorns' drama continued into Saturday when Boerne Geneva came up with a 42-40 victory.

Useful Forms
Physical Activity Participation Form
Please complete the following PE Participation form, in order that the student is allowed to participate in sports and athletic activities.
ACS Athens Health Office Requirements
During enrollment, parents must register their children with the school nurse. Certain forms need to be filled out concerning the health of each child. Additionally, parents are urged to update these forms whenever changes occur during the school year. The Health Office forms are:
School Health Record Card
This card consists of general information on the child, and also a section for names and telephone numbers of persons to reach in case of emergency. This form also has a section for reporting any special health problems (allergies, medication requirements, etc.) that a child may have. It is important that the Nurse has this information for the safety of each child.
Parents are required to give authorization to allow the Nurse to administer non-prescription medication (aspirin or non-aspirin pain reliever, for example). After completing the card, parents must sign on the space provided at the bottom.
(download card)
Emergency Form ( Yellow )
It is necessary that parents complete this form. In the event of an emergency the child may need to be transported to a hospital. This form is divided into two sections; parents need only complete one or the other.
Section 1 gives permission for a child to be transferred to one of the listed hospitals, all of which are near the school. Section 2 should be completed if parents wish to choose a different hospital or clinic not listed in Section 1.
(download form)
School Health Examination
The ACS Athens Health Office requires that EVERY new and returning student has a physical examination carried out and signed by a QUALIFIED PHYSICIAN (updates every year). If a child has had a check-up within a year prior to registration, then a photocopy of the record of this examination will suffice. The physical examination form must be submitted to the Health Office within 30 days from the date of registration.

I live in a sprawling Texas suburb, not unlike many Texas suburbs. What was once vast farmland now boasts row after row after row of rooftops, which we call "Master Planned Communities." We also have shopping centers and restaurants and top-rated schools and playgrounds and amenities. We have megachurches and mega-Megachurches of every denomination and no denomination. Our family, like many others, moved to this area so our kids could receive an top-notch education while also enjoying the convenience and proximity to culture and opportunities. It's a nice place.
And while I don't take for granted the privilege this community affords, my soul aches for simplicity and quiet and contemplation, which isn't easy to find while rushing between schools and activities and Chick-Fil-A.
A couple of years ago, I discovered a series of horse trails tucked behind our well-appointed community center. These dirt paths wind through tall trees and open meadows, carved from earth and leaves and thick gnarled roots. Whenever I can, I walk these trails—in the summer, when the trees are thick with green and the sunlight seeps through the limbs onto the dirt; in the fall, when the branches release their brown and yellow leaves and death litters the path; in the winter, when the sky turns gray and everything sleeps, waiting for rebirth; in the spring, when the world fragrantly returns to life and everything is new.
Within this space, my soul rests from the chaos of my busy suburban life, and truth and goodness and peace make their home.
Within this space, over the last several years, I have discovered healing and peace and the simplicity I have so deeply craved.
Within this space, within the metaphors of seasons and water and wind and earth, Truth revealed itself to me, teaching me gentle lessons about the prisons of fear and the freedom of Love and the fullness of Life.
Within this space, I realized we are born into and surrounded by Love, and that somewhere along the way, we stop believing we are loved, and we become afraid. Paralyzed with fear, we act unlovingly. Only when we return to that place of Love can we be free from fear and free to live as we were created.
This is the journey I wish to share with you over the next week or so. I must warn you, it might sound a little wwwwooooooOOOOOOOOooooo esoteric hippy flower power at times—especially if you, like me, cut your teeth on a conservative, dualistic black/white, right/wrong, body/spirit kind of ideology—but please stick with me, create space to listen and consider, and share your thoughts and experiences in the comments. I have a lot of words, so I decided to create a series of posts we can more easily and thoroughly digest together.
- In the beginning…
- The prison of fear
- The radiance of Love
- Expecto Patronum: Perfect Love casts out all fear
- Remembering: a return to the beginning
I'm not a theologian, and while I have read about and contemplated these ideas quite a bit during the past several years, there is still so much I don't understand. I'm still learning and processing, and perhaps forming these thoughts into words will help me understand more. I hope you'll lace up your running shoes and join me on this walk through the woods. May we discover together how deeply we are loved and how fully and courageously we are meant to live.

David Novack's documentary "Burning the Future: Coal in America" is as upsetting as it is informative. The movie concentrates on the Appalachian states — particularly West Virginia, the epicenter of an industry that mines enough coal to provide electricity for half the nation. In recent years increasing amounts of coal have been obtained through mountaintop mining, in which mountain ridges are scraped away by heavy machinery to get at the coal seams below.
This process is cheaper and faster than traditional methods, but its environmental fallout — magnified by the Bush administration's weakening of environmental regulations — has been immense: disfigured mountain ranges; extinct plant and animal species; toxic groundwater as murky as squid ink; and more devastating floods.
To its credit, however, Mr. Novack's documentary is not content to blame coal producers for the whole mess. It shows how craven or indifferent politicians have abetted the problem. (Newt Gingrich and John Kerry are called out for regurgitating the mostly meaningless, industry-created catchphrase "clean coal.") And it observes that if Americans weren't so addicted to electric-powered consumer goods — including the computer on which you may be reading this review — the crisis might not be so dire.
Coal in America
Opens on Friday in Manhattan.
Produced and directed by David Novack; director of photography, Scott Shelley; edited by Richard Hankin. At the Landmark's Sunshine Cinema, 139-143 East Houston Street, East Village. Running time: 1 hour 29 minutes. This film is not rated.Continue reading the main story

Ruth Park is an author born in Auckland, New Zealand, who spent most of her life in Australia. She was born on 24th August, 1917 in Auckland, and her family later moved to Te Kuiti further south in the North Island of New Zealand, where they lived in isolated areas.[1] Ms Park died in Sydney on 17 December 2010.
Personal historyEdit
During the Great Depression her working class father worked on bush roads, as a driver, on relief work, as a sawmill hand, and finally shifted back to Auckland as council worker living in a state house. After Catholic primary school Ruth won a partial scholarship to secondary school, but this was broken by periods of being unable to afford to attend. For a time she stayed with relatives on a Coromandel farming estate where she was treated like a serf by the wealthy landowner until she told the rich woman what she really thought of her. (Apparently the woman asked Ruth what she wanted to be when she grew up. When she was told a writer, the woman suggested she'd be happier as a servant.) Ruth Park claims that she was involved in the Queen Street riots with her father. Later she worked at the Auckland Star before shifting to Australia in 1942. There she married the Australian writer D'Arcy Niland.
Her first novel was The Harp in the South (1948) - a story of Irish slum life in Sydney, which was translated into 10 languages. (Simple-minded critics called it a cruel fantasy because as far as they were concerned there were no slums in Sydney.) But Ruth and D'Arcy did live in Sydney slums at Surry Hills. She followed that up with Poor Man's Orange (1949). She knew hers was the Poorman's orange: pale skin, not as sweet. She also wrote Missus (1985) and other novels, as well as a long-running she wants the DAustralian children's radio show and scripts for film and TV. She created the Muddle Headed Wombat series of children's books. Her autobiographies are A Fence Around the Cuckoo (1992) and Fishing in the Styx (1993). She also wrote a novel based in New Zealand, One-a-pecker, Two-a-pecker (1957), about gold mining in Otago (later renamed The Frost and The Fire).
Parks has received awards in Australian and internationally[2] but she has not yet received wide-spread recognition in New Zealand.
She claims to be a descendant of Dr Mungo Park, the African explorer, though there is yet to be any evidence of this.
Apart from her writing she also brought up 5 children. Her two youngest, Kilmeny and Deborah Niland, are both successful Australian artists.

Obnoxious Copy Review Request1961

|Text Copy Review Request:
the following copy is ( intentionally ) obnoxious.. the idea is it has to be MORE than merely "thought provoking", it has to "shake em up", to do as Tony Robbins says "interrupt your pattern": Can you guys choose between the following metaphors and vote on which one is the least offensive please?
1) there is no such thing as graphically, visually attracting Googlebot
2) Googlebot cannot see, feel or smell visual pheromones
3) a fur trapper or deer hunter uses an attractant...
deer urine or ode de beaver, or some musk kinda scent
to attract game...
there is one and only one Googlebot Attractant - text articles
4) the only thing that arouses Google is text articles, because that's the only thing Google can "read"
5) paying for a visually upgraded website is like upgrading from a Corvette to a Ferrari... looks real good sitting there
in the parking lot
... without text articles, there is no driver
that Ferrari isn't going any faster than your Chevy
Vega or Pinto did.. if it doesn't have a driver behind
the wheel
And this copy is intended to go on this domain:

|the algorithm is a LOT smarter
from 2005 thru 2010 all you had to do is build links, and links from as many social media profiles or BBS forums like this were good enough
the algo got REAL smart in 2010... it discounts ( or might even ban you altogether )
if it detects a link that YOU created for YOUR benefit
the only inbound links that googlebot counts are ones that are NOT in your control
And Semantic search... a title to an article or blog post should be in the form of a sentence a human would ask ( out loud )
Case in point.. I sub contract to web designers... ( my particular form of ADD and Aspargers Autism tends to make me kind of abrasive.. so they get the work and sub out the stuff they can't do to me)
I had an Energy Broker as a client... I looked at what is currently ranking in Google.. and my first ( creative ) thought was: every player in this genre used sales copy and nothing else... I asked my self What IS an energy broker?
( I really said WFT is an energy broker but that's not a politically expedient thing to say )
4 months later I saw ranking #3 in Google:
what is an energy broker
think like the algorithm.. not a human
being an aspargers savant helps a lot

|@tammysoffices labeling pics ( alt text, meta descriptions of images ) is absolutely a positive move towards improving SEO...
I'm suggesting for a brand spankin new domain, or an old website that has little or no traffic..
ignore a human audience altogether ( for a time ) unless and until we get the most important audience ( Googlebot ) to deem our domain as THE authority in our genre.
It's not like you're losing anything.. we weren't attracting a human audience ( yet ) anyway
Googlebot isn't just half of our audience.. it's the BIGGER half

I'm not sure I could disagree with you more. Getting the attention of "Googlebot" is easy and immediate. Keeping it is the issue. Writing for your human audience (immediately, and often) is a big part of that. "Googlebot" understands whom your real audience is. Miss that and the rest of SEO is just so much tech.

|I think we disagree on the definition of what constitutes "getting Googlebot's attention"
Perhaps I failed to be specific enough.. my definition of getting the algo's attention is defined as moving up in rank.
Strictly speaking, of course, Googlebot "sees all" without need of us to submit to search engines as we once did 10 years ago.
If your website isn't moving up in rank, getting it's attention is kinda pointless

|Once a website is setup correctly... you should ignore Google and focus solely on your audience... push out that content, share it on social media and your audience will come... along with Google.... and if done correctly you'll generate more traffic via social media than you ever will via the search engines...
Just my opinion of course..
|Post 16 IP flag post
|seoapexpredator private msg quote post Address this user
|@Steve. my definition of 'website set up correctly" is it's not performing unless and until it's ranking in the top 3 of a SERP and MORE importantly if it's not ranking in the top two of Google My Business listings ( GMB formerly known as Google Places and before that Google Local Business Listings)
If you're not getting 20 unique visitors, fresh visitors that just found you, and that figure increasing each day.. then no one is seeing it anyway.

|I think, to some degree, you are simply talking about different TIMES. In other words in setting up site...attract Google, THEN, work on pushing out the content & social media. As I tell my clients, it does no good to get them started with social media if they do Not have a site or a site that is unattractive/not functioning.
If the goal is to attract the audience...you have to have somewhere for them to go (your site/landing page) to even get to the remainder of the 'Inbound' marketing cycle. And as we all know, this takes time, as they may visit once, look, and watch your content, then visit again, etc... Yet we are building trust and relationships. So I think it is the time frame difference that is having you disagree.
Website alone does not do it and Content w/o site (or somewhere to push them) does not do it. Google wants the site, but then they also want to see content and updates.
|Post 19 IP flag post
|Rev private msg quote post Address this user
I think you are making my point.
1. You should have a website as the foundational element of your online presence.
2. A website doesn't have to be pretty, nor complete, in order to be opened to visitors and searchbots.
3. From day one you need to begin adding relevant content (blogging is the easiest way).
It is so easy to make your content "good" for SEO that there is no need to get techie about it. If you use a self-hosted WordPress website and a good SEO plugin like Yoast SEO, most of the necessary SEO tech is done for you, or is VERY easy to do yourself. The rest doesn't matter until you are fighting over top spots on page one and that won't happen without lots of relevant content.
So, forget about pretty. Forget about techie SEO. Start with a good website (WordPress is SEO ready and functional out of the box and a good choice of theme will deal with the "attractive" part -- though that is the least important part). Concentrate on content and in short order you will be beating most of your competition -- mainly because they won't be doing what you are doing.
If you you spend three hours every day researching keywords and I spend three hours every day posting blog articles without any keyword research at all, I will beat you in search every time.

|@Belew (and others)
Please note that this is not to say the SEO is bad. I'm an SEO professional and I do high-level SEO work on some significant clients.
The thing is, most of us -- coaches, solopreneurs, small business operators, don't really need that kind of SEO work. In any given niche, most people are not doing SEO at all AND they are not blogging regularly, either. You can beat them easily and get into the top five pages, often page one, of the SERPs.
In really tight markets like jewelry, real-estate, legal, medicine, and a few others, a lot of attention is being paid to SEO by many top players so you need to focus on your actual (often local) market, and most often get good professional SEO help.
But, for the rest of us, once you get to the first page (or maybe page two) you run into the serious players and the difference, after you have done all the regular things that apply -- lots of good (better!) content, and all the SEO techie stuff -- that difference comes down to the little things, some of which you have no control over.
One of those little things is how long your site has been around, how long Google has considered it authoritative. When you get to the final fight on page one that can be the single deciding factor, and you can't change it THEN.
And that is why I say get your website up and OPEN now. Not tomorrow, or the next day. Not the day after or the week after, or the month after your competition, but NOW! You can't -- will never be able to -- do it any sooner. Don't leave it until later. Because, when it comes down to that final push, and you are desperately looking for the little edge that will make the difference, you CANNOT go back and start any earlier!
So, to restate it in a slightly different way,
1 - Get your self-hosted website up and open -- even if it's not "finished",
2 - Learn a few simple basics to creating good content -- content Google and other search engines will like and consider authoritative, and
3 - Post regularly, a minimum of 2 or 3 times per week, more often if you can.
Don't put it off. Start NOW. Then...
Do it BETTER. Do it more OFTEN. Be more REGULAR. Keep at it LONGER.

|A friend of mine asked me to chime in on this thread. There is definitely a lot of over-thinking happening in this "what came first, the chick or the egg" conversation. Obviously, the top ranking factors for any piece of content (today) are the historical user data about a URL, PageRank signals and now what RankBrain does with both.
I like David's point of making a page technically accessible with appropriate canonical tags (for desktop and AMP), mitigated duplicate URLs, PageSpeed, and semantic contextual SEO focal points.
That being said, if a new URL is displayed 10 times in 1,000 impressions, even with a killer CTR, if the user returns to the search results and chooses a better (more professional design, fast-loading, mobile-friendly/mobile-first, accessible-friendly, and more HELPFUL) result than yours, the chance of getting more impressions on the first page is not very likely.
You have to be, and stay, the best result for a query from my experience. Sure, a spammer can slip in there for a few weeks, but it's short-lived. Obsess over a keyword or nurture ongoing improvements to the criteria mentioned in parenthesis above. I'll choose the latter every time.
Test everything. Markup everything. Run customer surveys, run mTurk surveys, think out of the box. But always be improving.
Algorithms love patterns. Create a pattern of improvement in all disciplines of SEO (technical, contextual and visibility) and you're pouring sunlight and water into a forest of long-term success.
It's neither the chicken or the egg that comes first - it's both.

Cyclone Cook Update 13/4/2017
By Arno Dyason, Meteorologist.
Cyclone Cook has arrived in New Zealand coastal waters Thursday morning and MetService is following its movement very closely. Widespread rain continues over large parts of the country, although the heaviest and most significant falls remain closely wrapped around the low centre. MetService's rain radar indicates that this area contains very heavy rainfall, which has moved onto Coromandel Peninsula and Bay of Plenty Thursday afternoon ahead of the low centre Thursday evening.
Cooking Up a Storm
by Meteorologist Sarah Sparks
The days are getting shorter and winter is indeed coming, but a burst of air from the tropics is set to affect New Zealand in the coming days. A combo of a Low in the Tasman Sea dragging a lot of humid, sub-tropical air down across New Zealand and the remains of Tropical Cyclone Cook tracking southwards are expected to bring heavy rain, heavy swells and possibly strong winds.

Why is Wellington so windy?
by MetService Meteorologist April Clark
Wellington is known in New Zealand, and around the world, as 'Windy Wellington' due to the frequent strong, gusty northerlies that Wellington experiences. A hardened Wellingtonian is used to the strong winds, and may even miss them when they do disappear for a few days. So, why does Wellington get such sustained strong winds? There are a number of factors which come into play that make Wellington 'the windiest city' in the world with 178 days a year gusting at or above 63 km/h.

One can't help but feel proud that E-Motors Inc., a 100% Filipino-owned social enterprise, is the Green Electric Mobility Partner of the APEC 2015 Economic Leader's Summit. And as the host country, we're transporting foreign ministers and delegates in ZüM E-Trikes.
More specifically, the ZüM E-Trikes were used at the APEC 2015's Ministerial Meetings held in Boracay last May 23 to 24. There, it ferried world leaders, industry experts, representatives from the private sector, and delegates from the 21-economy strong APEC.
The electric 3-wheeled vehicles were all locally manufactured/assembled by E-Motors Inc. Each one retails for around P295,000 to P320,000, seats 6 passengers + driver, and has a 60 km range on a full charge. According to specs, it should take 6 to 8 hours to fill up the battery, which only costs around P60. Best of all, it does all of this without emitting any emissions.
Being the Green Electric Mobility Partner, this goes hand-in-hand with APEC's theme of "Building Inclusive Economies, Building a Better World" for 2 reasons.
The first is that E-Motors Inc. contributes to the economy. Not only do they help create jobs through its local manufacturing hub, but also by providing a means of livelihood and transportation in provinces. That's because ZüM E-Trikes allow its users to (1) earn a decent living by utilizing it as a PUV and (2) provide much needed transportation in their area.
Secondly, the ZüM E-Trikes lowers our carbon footprint as a zero-emission electric vehicle. This platform showcases the Philippines' own efforts to help address the global issue of Climate Change Mitigation, which the APEC member countries continues to provide a solution for.
"We are honored to be part of the solution not only to lower carbon emissions but to provide a profitable means of livelihood for many Filipino entrepreneurs using our ZüM E-Trikes," says Ms. Elizabeth H. Lee, E-Motors Inc. President.
Guillermo Luz, co-chair of the National Competitiveness Council and Private Sector Coordinator for the National Organizing Committee remarked, "The ZüM E-Trikes delivers 2 key messages about the country – we are concerned about the environment and climate change and support electric vehicles. We also support the emergence of more local manufacturing in the country."
Joining E-Motors Inc. in support of the APEC 2015 goals of inclusive growth and climate change mitigation are logistics giant 2GO Group Inc. and US-based HJEA International. Other companies who are part of the effort include BizNewsAsia Magazine, Malayan Insurance, Motolite, SL Agritech, and Globaltronics.

OK victor but can you be more specific I mean which scripture in the book of Matthew or the book of Revelations are you referring to that supposedly shows that the anointed have been sealed before the great tribulations?.
In other words I'm very familiar with both books but what scriptures are you referring to in order to prove your claim that the anointed are sealed prior to the great tribulations?. You're making that claim not me so you have to prove to me where it says in the bible that the anointed get sealed prior to the great tribulations or do you believe that I will just take your word for it.
Also could you be more specific concerning the disgusting thing and what you believe it to be.

Foundations, right now are a big thing for me. Probably because I'm in that phase wherein you feel like you can now get this or that kinda stuff because you're already in a certain age and yes, I'm now 19 and starting to experiment with these foundations. LOL. I don't use foundation everyday, I use them only during special occasions and events because, to be honest some are hella expensive and I don't really need it in my everyday life. In school, I usually go for the BB Cream look or sometimes I just grab my concealer for my under eyes and powder for my face because that's easier. Sometimes I also tend to grab my cushion foundations instead of these babies. I have yet to make a blog post about that but today, lets focus on these foundations. This is just going to be a quick review so if you have questions just leave 'em in the comment section down below.
ELF Foundation Serum
This foundation is really thin and every time I wear this it looks like I have nothing on my face, you know, when you're skin actually looks like "skin" and not foundation. So with that, I can say that it has a very thin coverage which I love especially during those days when I just want a simple makeup look (which happens almost everyday. LOL) and to be honest I don't need a lot of coverage plus, it a serum so that means it has skin care benefits like anti-aging and it also has sunscreen but it looks good on photos and videos since it doesn't leave a white cast. If you're looking for a cheaper alternative from the Mac Studio Waterweight Foundation, you can go with this. It's not a dupe though, don't get me wrong. My Aunt who lives in the States gave this to me and the only down side is I can't find it here in the Philippines and I already finished the whole bottle. I really want to buy it again so if you have ideas please leave me a comment!
Ever Bilena Pro Finish Foundation
One thing for sure, it's not matte on my skin. I have normal skin since it's the Rainy season here in the Philippines but I have oily-combination type of skin during the summer season (Yup, we only have 2 seasons here). At first it has a Satin finish and it turns oily if I don't set it with powder but yeah it's okay once you set your face. I just think that this is not "it" for those with oily skin. I love this because it's really cheap, for only Php 180 and you also get a lot of product. It has a medium coverage but totally blendable. I just don't like the way it feels while I'm applying it. I don't skip skin care, I never do but with this foundation, even if I did my skin care it's hard to apply it, I feel like i'm patting more than I usually do but hey, for only Php 180, I think it's really worth it and yes I'd probably buy it again just because it's cheap and sometimes, if you're still a student, investing in cheap products is key!
Maybelline Dream Satin Foundation
The Maybelline Dream Satin Foundation is my favorite foundation of all time! I'm not a matte kinda girl when it comes to foundations and bb creams that's why I really love the Satin finish of this foundation. What I really like about this is that it has a beautiful moisturizing kind of Satin and not oily. It has a thick coverage so one layer is always enough, you know a little goes a long way with this one. It glides on like a dream, really easy to apply and definitely worth it! I also love the shades, I think they go well with the Filipina Morena skin tone like mine.
Sephora 10 Hour Wear Perfection Foundation
And lastly, the Sephora 10 Hour Wear Perfection Foundation. This is not a matte foundation, it comes off a bit dewy or satin and it has a medium coverage but totally buildable. When I use this, I only apply one thin layer, concealer and that's it. It doesn't oil up so I don't set it with powder. To apply this, you need a foundation brush because if you use a beauty blender or a sponge, I feel like the sponge just absorbs more product than what you're getting on your face. And in terms of longevity, to be honest I don't really notice when I apply a thin layer but I guess it stays all day.
Enjoy and have a good day ahead!

The "Extend Partition" function of another program called AOMEI Partition Assistant can also help with this problem. However, I'd like to recommend you to try its "Merge Partitions" function for its more easy and powerful. It can not only merge two partitions (the two partitions must be next to each other; you can merge data partition into system partition, but cannot merge system partition into data partition), but also merge partition with unallocated space (the unallocated space can be located on any place of the hard drive). So, with this function, your problem can be solved easily.

MULTOS World Series USA
Posted on 18 February, 2013 in Category
Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. 7th February 2013
MULTOS World Series USA
MAOSCO hosted the first MULTOS World Series in the US on 7th February, held in conjunction with the Smartcard Alliance Annual Payments Summit, in Salt Lake City's Grand America hotel.
Reports had been coming in the evening before of a huge weather front; Snowstorm "Nemo" was due hit the East coast of America on the Thursday evening/Friday morning. Despite this, a good number of people braved the impending travel restrictions to hear a wide variety of our members speak on their knowledge and own experiences of MULTOS.
After a short introduction from MAOSCO Commercial Manager; Mr. Stuart Attwood, outlining MULTOS the product, the Scheme and the Consortium, Mr. Oliver Manahan from MasterCard explained MCI's position on EMV Migration in the US, and also gave an insightful look at a MULTOS case study in Canada, making use of MULTOS' delegation capability to allow multiple AIDs to point to one application.
Mr. Michel Chalifoux from Multos International presented a comprehensive view of how MULTOS can benefit the US market, by detailing the advantages of MULTOS in a multi-sourcing environment.
Mr. Philippe Benitez from Gemalto USA took the stand next, and was able to demonstrate clearly how MULTOS reduces complexity and data management overhead during personalisation, by reducing multiple scripts down to just one, generic MULTOS script.
Mr. Neil McEvoy from Consult Hyperion, whose anecdotes around his personal involvement in the conception of MULTOS and derivation of the mathematical proofs that enabled MULTOS to obtain the highest security accreditation of any commercial product, provided a fascinating conclusion to the morning session.
Mr. Tom Horton from Discover Financial Services opened proceedings in the afternoon, explaining the various DFS Networks, and how MULTOS fits into the DFS strategy.
Messers Benoit Guez and Thomas Thomas Grouard Lillelund from CPI then shared 2 case studies; one from Iceland and the other from Canada, that both highlighted MULTOS' versatility and speed-to-market capability.
Mr. Chris Torr, MAOSCO Technical Manager, was able to explain in detail how using MULTOS makes key management much simpler, and how the MULTOS loading mechanism is ideally suited to post and instant issuance
Canadian based TechTrex, represented by Mr. Victor Chan, outlined their extensive product range, and how MULTOS plays an integral part of their business case, and was followed once more by Mr. Attwood of MASOCO, who closed the day's events with a presentation on the advantages of MULTOS in the NFC environment.
The post-event networking session was a relaxed and enjoyable affair; a good time to meet old friends and make new ones.
The MULTOS World Series events are gaining a reputation for informative, valuable sources of information, delivered in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. They are held throughout the year, in locations around the world. If you are interested in attending the next event, keep an eye on the http://www.multos.com website for details.


text: No Words to Express Gratitude! (With Pictures) Andrea 0 Posts Reply No Words to Express Gratitude! (With Pictures) Posted on: Oct 4, 2010 at 2:30am After two failed IUIs and one failed IVF with PGD at a reputable LI fertility clinic, I sought the help of Dr. Braverman and his staff. I was frustrated by my previous clinic's inability to explain why I was not getting pregnant; I couldn't help but believe that my diagnosis of unexplained infertility was the result of poor diagnostic testing rather than a true inability to determine the cause. Dr. Braverman immediately began extensive testing on my husband and me. He uncovered blood clotting issues and Natural Killer cells in me. But more importantly, he found that my husband had a balanced translocation. Even the genetic counselor could not believe that Dr. Braverman discovered this as we had never had a miscarriage. (Miscarriages are typically the clue that a BT is involved.) Finally, we knew the reason for our infertility! I quickly began my first IVF cycle with Dr. Braverman and two weeks later I learned that I was pregnant! I sometimes wonder how many months (or years) of agony I would have suffered if I remained under the care of my previous infertility doctor who was considered one of Long Island's best. Besides being an excellent doctor who is on the cutting edge of the latest infertility research, Dr. Braverman is an amazing person. He goes beyond what is expected by providing a level of personal care that other doctors just fail to do. He performs every sonogram, responds almost immediately to emails, and even opens his office on off-hours for emergencies. I truly cannot say enough about the level of care you receive as his patient. This is a stark contrast to the factory-like setting that you find at most other clinics. I need to also add that your relationship with Dr. Braverman does not end once you get pregnant. Dr. Braverman serves as a conduit to your perinatologist and obstetrician. In my case, I am certain that it was Dr. Braverman's recommendation to see Dr. Kofinas which ensured that I had a healthy pregnancy and baby. Dr. Braverman's ability to make excellent and appropriate referrals is essential as it is not enough to get pregnant; pregnant women need to stay pregnant and deliver healthy, full-term babies! It has been six months since baby Ellamarie has been delivered. Not a day goes by that I do not think about the amazing care I received from Dr. Braverman and his staff. Truly no words can express the gratitude I have for my daughter. [attachment=2]bestelle.jpg[/attachment]

Divine Reign
An action Real-Time-Strategy title that revolved around a human who had the motivation to fight back against the elemental beings who were in control of the worlds.
Humans have become just servants, or food, to the Elementals that control their respective worlds, all connected through Drassigmyr, a great world tree. After a cataclysm that rocked the world before the common era, humans no longer had a world of their own, and became refugees. The Elementals thought the humans lesser beings and treated them with disgust, and contempt. The offspring of the humans were sold like delicacies to the most savage Elemental races. The Earth people, known as Myn, being the most gentle towards the humans used them as miners. To help them get at a crystal they used as a drug, the Myn made them work long hours, in hostile environments. Tired of being used as slaves, Lysander, the most able of the humans, led a revolution. Fighting back against the stone giants that are the Myn
You take the roll of Lysander, as a warrior and a leader. Played from a third person perspective you will have to battle unimaginably powerful elemental races. But you are not alone... As you fight you're way through the many worlds on the branches of Drassigmyr, you will be able to enlist the other humans of the worlds. At any time hit the drop down map to command your troops on the battlefield. Then go back to the fight by simply closing the map. Use your unrivaled battle skills, and omnipotent troop strategies to kill the elemental gods, and find a new world for the Humans.

Stone Brick is one of the materials that are used in Strongholds. Stone bricks have the same blast resistance as Brick or Cobblestone; a TNT block surrounded by either of these will only destroy one block in each direction. All variants of Stone Brick have the same blast resistance. They can be mined with any pickaxe, but not by hand.

Here in the Cotswolds, we like to live and present an earthy way of life, enjoying the simple things in a fine fashion. One such way is through our excellent range of local breweries including the Hook Norton Brewery, Wychwood and a personal favourite The Cotswold Brewing Company.
Trips and holidays to the Cotswolds should always take in a trip to a local pub (see our little suggestions below) especially as they are increasingly an endangered species! Those, however, that are left are the ones that have evolved with the times and offer something unique. Here we talk about The Cotswold Brewing Company, one of our very local companies, whose beers, ales and ciders can be sampled across the region in the pubs and who embody everything good about the Cotswolds.
The Cotswold Brewing Company
The Cotswold Brewing Company is an independent, family owned and run brewery located just outside Bourton on the Water, very much close to the heart of the region. Set up nearly nine years ago, they make specialist lagers, wheat beer and cider on draught or in bottles. Not content with their beer the team then decided to get busy with innovation and now produce five times (yes five times!) distilled Cotswold Vodka and delicious Cotswold Gin that has hints of Cotswold herbs, hedgerow plants and of course hops! As befits the natural environment surrounding us, their Cotswold beer has no additives or preservatives so while you're having a little snifter, you can feel a little good about what you're drinking. It is made from four natural ingredients, hops, barley, water and yeast and brewed with lots of love! (Please do take care when consuming alcohol)
The Brewery opens to the public for us for brewery tours, Tuesday to Friday at 11 am by prior appointment – call their offices on 01451 824488 to arrange a visit. Tours take about an hour and a half and you can sample the Cotswold Brewing Company's brews as well as learn how lager and ale are made and seeing the inside of a working brewery – so you can enjoy yourself while learning about one of our most cherished products. They also sell direct from their cellar – so you can stock up for your holiday! Alternatively free home delivery is available for orders according to order size and proximity to the brewery – ring for a quote!
The Cotswold Brewing Company delivers to over 200 pubs, restaurants and delis across the Cotswolds' region with their beer, cider and spirits amongst the most popular according to customers! Here are a few of the pubs that you might like to try……
1.The Swan at Swinbrook – home of the Mitfords, in a very pretty village.
2.The Priory, Tetbury – everything is sourced in a 30 mile radius embracing the local producers. Local people can bring surplus from their allotments to the kitchen door in return for vouchers!
3.The Chequers, Churchill – for a really well hung steak and a great range of beers.
4.The Highway – Burford, newly refurbished with a picturesque cellar bar and great food.
5.The Woolpack, Slad – great food in a beautiful setting.
7.The King's Head, Bledington – sip your beer looking at the village green and watching the ducks.
8.The Kingham Plough – reknowned chef Emily Watkins never fails to delight!
9.The Grapevine, Stow – great place to sit outside and watch the world go by – lovely food.
Clearly there are more, but this list gives you a little something to consider.
As you'd expect we've a selection of cottages and self catering accommodation for you to choose from in these locations. Here are some to consider that are in the locations specified.

The Play 2.75 inch stage ball is a good size for 3-5 ball juggling or contact juggling.
Stage balls are preferred by some jugglers who like the firmness as compared to softer beanbags or leather balls. Their bright colors and solid shape look good in a stage setting. Though a stage ball used for practicing or teaching has it drawbacks, as they tend to bounce more if they collide in the juggling pattern and roll when dropped compared to a softer beanbag type ball.
2 3/4 inch Stage Ball
diameter 2.75 inch (70mm)
weight 6.0 ounce (100 grams)

Oxford Food & Drink Festival 2016 took place on Sunday 16th October
