Product Highlights
Stable, fast, and versatile, the Alpha a6500 from Sony is an apt APS-C-format mirrorless camera well-suited for both photo and video applications. Revolving around a 24.2MP Exmor CMOS sensor and BIONZ X image processor, clean image quality is provided with a wide expandable sensitivity range to ISO 51200, along with accelerated readout speeds for internal 4K30 and Full HD 1080p120 video recording with full pixel readout. The processor further benefits videographers with the inclusion of an S&Q (Slow & Quick) Motion setting that permits capturing Full HD video at a variety of frame rates ranging from 1-120 fps. Stills shooters also benefit from the apt processing speed, which enables continuous shooting at 11 fps for up to 301 JPEGs in a burst, as well as 14-bit raw file output. Complementing both stills and video, 5-axis SteadyShot INSIDE image stabilization minimizes the appearance of camera shake with all mounted lenses to support working with slower shutter speeds. The sensor and processor combination also avails 4D FOCUS, which utilizes a wide-coverage 425-point phase-detection system with a 169-area contrast detection system for quick and precise focusing performance. This focusing system also enables High-density Tracking AF for more efficient and accurate tracking of moving subjects across the image frame. Increasingly versatile and fully featured in both photo and video realms, the a6500 is a fast and precise imaging tool for multimedia capture.
Complementing the imaging assets, the a6500 also sports a robust magnesium alloy body that is dust- and moisture-resistant to permit working in harsh environments. The compact profile incorporates a high-resolution XGA Tru-Finder 2.36m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder for bright, clear, eye-level viewing, and this EVF features a 120 fps viewing mode for smooth tracking of fast-moving subjects. A rear 3.0″ 921.6k-dot touchscreen LCD monitor is also available and has a tilting design to benefit shooting from high and low working angles, and the touchscreen design allows for intuitive touch-to-focus control. Additionally, for wireless remote control over the camera, or for just sharing imagery online, built-in Wi-Fi with NFC permits linking with a mobile device for intuitive wireless control.
For long focal lengths, the system will correct for pitch and yaw adjustments. Macro and high-magnification imagery, on the other hand, will benefit from the inclusion of horizontal and vertical shift compensation. All shooting styles will get usage out of the roll compensation. All 5 axes of stabilization will function at all times, even when used with third-party lenses and adapters or lenses with built-in optical stabilization.
The apt 4D FOCUS system also lends itself to a variety of focusing functions for refined accuracy, including Lock-on AF, which maintains focus on moving subjects throughout the use of a configurable frame that is set over the desired moving subject, and Expand Flexible Spot, which employs neighboring focus points to retain focus on moving subjects even if the originally selected point loses focus. Additionally, Eye AF can be used to base focus on recognized subjects' eyes for portraits and is available in both AF-S and AF-C modes. Autofocus can also be used in conjunction with the Focus Magnifier function for critical focus when homing in on minute subject details.
In addition to autofocus, the a6500 also features a Peaking MF function to benefit manual focus control by highlighted sharp edges of contrast for a more objective means of acquiring sharp focus.
4K video recording also avails the ability to produce 8MP stills during playback by taking a frame grab from a movie and storing it as a separate file.
In contrast, a Gamma Display Assist function is also available that displays scenes with natural contrast when recording with S-Log settings. This function converts imagery to the ITU709 profile for easier on-camera monitoring.

But in this case, it's Alesha winning hands down.
The Britain's Got Talent judge star ramped up her swimwear to raunchy new levels on a luxury Maldives break.
The 39-year-old is currently holidaying with her mum Beverly, boyfriend of eight years Azuka Ononye and their daughter Azura, four.
The Mis-Teeq singer gave onlookers an eyeful as she enjoyed a beach photo session. which she shared on Alesha Dixon's Instagram.
Alesha was pictured perching on a tree wearing a peach one-piece.
The swimsuit featured racy side cut outs and showcased her svelte frame.
With her hair pulled into two sleek buns, Alesha looked runway-ready.
In one photo, her gym-carved physique was submerged in the sea, and she showed off every curve in a bikini in another.
The part-time X Factor judge zoomed in on her assets while flaunting her youthful and makeup-free complexion.
The natural beauty – who controversially proposed banning meat – has always claimed to shun the plastic fantastic trend and insists it all starts on the inside.
"Beauty starts from within," she said.
"You can't beat the natural glow you get from living a healthy lifestyle.
"Who you are is what makes you beautiful, not the products you have in your handbag."

SYDNEY (VNS) — Over 300 Vietnamese and foreign supporters raised banners in front of Sydney Town Hall yesterday, expressing their overwhelming indignation over China's illegal placement of Haiyang Shiyou-981oil rig and escorting vessels in Viet Nam's continental shelf and exclusive economic zone since early May.
Following the demonstration, they issued a statement declaring that China's act was a grave violation of the United Nations Charter and the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and against the spirit of the Declaration of the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea and its agreements with Viet Nam on the settlement of issues at sea.
In the document, they called on China to conform to international law by pulling its rig and ships out of Viet Nam's waters immediately and unconditionally.
Vietnamese people in Kuala Lumpur held a similar rally and sent a letter of protest to the Chinese embassy the same morning, in which they asked China to respect its neighbouring countries, their sovereignty and international law.
The Vietnamese community in Egypt also joined a meeting to protest China's installment of its oil rig on Vietnamese waters. Vietnamese Ambassador to Egypt Dao Thanh Chung gave a speech accusing China of seriously violating international law. He made it clear that Vietnamese both at home and abroad and many countries around the world had vowed to side with Viet Nam during its fight. They also called on China to withdraw its rig and escort vessels from Viet Nam's waters immediately.
The same day, crowds of Vietnamese and Swiss people took to the streets in Zurich, raising banners asking China to abide by international law.
In a letter sent to the Chinese Consul General in Zurich, they requested the Chinese government pull its rig and ships out of Viet Nam's waters right away, saying the dispute should be settled via diplomatic channels.
Vietnamese scholars in the US said the act seriously violated international law and applauded the measures Viet Nam was taking in response to the incident.
Dr. Ngo Nhu Binh, Director of the Vietnamese Language Programme in the Department of East Asian Languages and Civilisation at Harvard University, said that the placement of the oil rig was more of a political move than an economic one.
"China has a great ambition for the East Sea, and the nine-dot line is an obvious manifestation of this expansionism," Binh told New York-based Viet Nam News Agency correspondents. The lecturer hailed the response of the Vietnamese government to China's act and said he thought now was the time for Viet Nam to take the matter to an international court. According to Binh, Viet Nam should consult international law experts about this issue and study the experience of the Philippines.
"If we take the matter to an international court, we must have a firm legal foundation," he said.
Lawyer Ta Van Tai, a former lecturer at Harvard Law School, noted that the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) required that concerned parties engage in talks and conciliation procedures before taking compulsory procedures entailing binding decisions, so bilateral and multi-lateral diplomatic talks were a must.
Tai suggested that Viet Nam take the issue to the United National General Assembly or the UN Security Council, saying that a resolution adopted by the former could deter China. He said while the matter could be vetoed by China at the UN Security Council, Viet Nam should still raise the issue, because this was a necessary step when international peace and security were under threat. With Chinese ships acting threateningly and using force to intimidate Vietnamese fisheries surveillance vessels, marine police and fishermen, the country was clearly under threat, he said.
"The Vietnamese government's point of view is very clear. If China does not remove its rig, Viet Nam will take other actions, and this point of view receives support from Vietnamese worldwide," said Nguyen Ba Chung, a researcher at the William Joiner Institute for the Study of War and Social Consequences at the University of Massachusetts in Boston.
Chung noted that China's act triggered a strong reaction among the overseas Vietnamese community. Among the academic circle in the US, the general opinion was also that China's act was unreasonable. The focus of discussion now was what the US should do to counter China's aggressive move in the East Sea.
The researcher said that as there was no way for Viet Nam to stop similar moves by China in the future, sooner or later Viet Nam would have to take China to an international court.
He added that while China might not appear in court because they know they would lose, at least the world would see very clearly that China was in the wrong, making it difficult for China to continue using its power to bully other countries in the East Sea. — VNS

Afghanistan, Pakistan: already at war?
Barack Obama proposes the US deploy 10,000 more troops to Afghanistan to fight insurgents even as he pledges to remove troops from Iraq, plugging the proposal in a New York Times op-ed, "My Plan for Iraq." (NYT, July 14) Meanwhile, relations are fast deteriorating between Afghanistan and key US ally Pakistan. In an official statement calling Pakistan's security forces the "world's biggest producers of terrorism and extremism," Afghanistan announced it is suspending participation in three meetings with Pakistani officials scheduled for the next few weeks. Afghanistan charged Islamabad with "direct interference in its internal affairs." (Newsday, July 16)
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry responded with a statement accusing Afghanistan of creating an "artificial crisis" between the two countries, adding: "Such baseless accusations serve no purpose other than vitiating the bilateral atmosphere." (Bloomberg, July 16)
On July 13, more than 100 insurgents breached a US outpost at Wanat in Kunar province, near the Pakistan border, killing nine US troops in hours of fierce fighting. The insurgents used rocket propelled grenades and homemade mortars to bombard the base, close to Pakistan's border, from several sides. Fighting also raged in Helmand province, where US forces said 40 insurgents had been killed in 24 hours. (BBC, July 14)
NATO announced two days after the battle it has abandoned the outpost, which it had established five days before it was attacked. "We are confirming that we have vacated our combat outpost at Wanat," said NATO spokesman Mark Laity. (The Australian, July 16) The BBC World Service reports that the Taliban now claim to be in control of the outpost.
Attacks in eastern Afghanistan are up 40% this year, according to US military sources. June was the deadliest month for US and NATO forces in Afghanistan since the 2001 invasion. US fatalities in Afghanistan in both May and June topped those in Iraq. Intelligence reports maintain foreign militants are pouring into Afghanistan to join the insurgency, as they did in Iraq two years ago.
"Foreign fighters do make a difference, and it's important to note their increase and the role they play, particularly in correlation to al-Qaeda," said Anthony Cordesman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "On the other hand, characterizing the problem in Afghanistan as driven by foreign fighters does not track with evidence from the ground." But Cordesman places greater weight with the role of militants based just across the border in Pakistan's tribal areas, saying the war is now essentially "an Afghanistan-Pakistan conflict." (CSM, July 16)
See our last posts on Afghanistan and Pakistan.
ISI backs Afghan insurgency?
Details are sketchy, but wire accounts indicate some 300 jihadist militants took part in a secret meeting last month in Rawalpindi where they agreed to cooperate in sending fighters across the border to join the insurgency in Afghanistan. Rawalpindi is the military garrison city where the headquarters of the Pakistani army is based—which strongly suggests official sanction, if not outright oversight, of the meeting. Participating groups were said to include Jaish-i-Mohammad, Lashkar-i-Tayyaba, Hezb-ul-Mujahedin, and the al-Badr group. (RFE/RL, July 18)
US in Middle East
In the 1950s, in the wake of Eisenhower's "Atoms for Peace" plan, Pakistan obtained a 125 megawatt heavy-water reactor from Canada. After India's first atomic test in May 1974, Pakistan immediately sought to catch up by attempting to purchase a reprocessing plant from France. After France declined due to U.S. resistance, Pakistan began to assemble a uranium enrichment plant via materials from the black market and technology smuggled through A.Q. Khan. In 1976 and 1977, two amendments to the Foreign Assistance Act were passed, prohibiting American aid to countries pursuing either reprocessing or enrichment capabilities for nuclear weapons programs.
These two, the Symington and Glenn Amendments, were passed in response to Pakistan's efforts to achieve nuclear weapons capability; but to little avail. Washington's cool relations with Islamabad soon improved. During the Reagan administration, the US turned a blind eye to Pakistan's nuclear weapon's program. In return for Pakistan's cooperation and assistance in the mujahideen's war against Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, the Reagan administration awarded Pakistan with the third largest economic and military aid package after Israel and Egypt. Despite the Pressler Amendment, which made US aid contingent upon the Reagan administration's annual confirmation that Pakistan was not pursuing nuclear weapons capability, Reagan's "laissez-faire" approach to Pakistan's nuclear program seriously aided the proliferation issues that we face today.
Not only did Pakistan continue to develop its own nuclear weapons program, but A.Q. Khan was instrumental in proliferating nuclear technology to other countries as well. Further, Pakistan's progress toward nuclear capability led to India's return to its own pursuit of nuclear weapons, an endeavor it had given up after its initial test in 1974. In 1998, both countries had tested nuclear weapons. A uranium-based nuclear device in Pakistan; and a plutonium-based device in India.
Over the years of America's on again- off again support of Pakistan, Musharraf continues to be skeptical of his American allies. In 2002 he is reported to have told a British official that his "great concern is that one day the United States is going to desert me. They always desert their friends." Musharraf was referring to Viet Nam, Lebanon, Somalia ... etc., etc., etc.,
Taking the war to Pakistan is perhaps the most foolish thing America can do. Obama is not the first to suggest it, and we already have sufficient evidence of the potentially negative repercussions of such an action. On January 13, 2006, the United States launched a missile strike on the village of Damadola, Pakistan. Rather than kill the targeted Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda's deputy leader, the strike instead slaughtered 17 locals. This only served to further weaken the Musharraf government and further destabilize the entire area. In a nuclear state like Pakistan, this was not only unfortunate, it was outright stupid. Pakistan has 160 million Arabs (better than half of the population of the entire Arab world). Pakistan also has the support of China and a nuclear arsenal.
I predict that America's military action in the Middle East will enter the canons of history alongside Hiroshima, Nagasaki and the Holocaust, in kind if not in degree. The Bush administration's war on terror marks the age in which America has again crossed a line that many argue should never be crossed. Call it preemption, preventive war, the war on terror, or whatever you like; there is a sense that we have again unleashed a force that, like a boom-a-rang, at some point has to come back to us. The Bush administration argues that American military intervention in the Middle East is purely in self-defense. Others argue that it is pure aggression. The consensus is equally as torn over its impact on international terrorism. Is America truly deterring future terrorists with its actions? Or is it, in fact, aiding the recruitment of more terrorists?
The last thing the United States should do at this point and time is to violate yet another state's sovereignty. Beyond being wrong, it just isn't very smart. We all agree that slavery in this country was wrong; as was the decimation of the Native American populations. We all agree that the Holocaust and several other acts of genocide in the twentieth century were wrong. So when will we finally admit that American military intervention in the Middle East is wrong as well?
We agree with you, but...
...Pakistan isn't really in the Middle East.
Pakistan at war
President Bush will most definitely go down in history as the worst President in US. Excuse me I find it hard to even call him our President. He has done nothing but"stir the pot", in a Holy War. Does he really think he has accomplished anything but take human lives, and for what?
These Middle Eastern Countries have been invaded by President Bush's power of ignorance. Does he really think he can win every war he has started over there? Does he really think our God will let this kind of behavior continue much longer? Praise our God and pray for souls that at lost, because I believe the end of time is near.
Correction of above article
Pakistan does not have 160 million Arabs. Its 160 Pakistani.
yes bringing war to Pakistan was wrong . We feel war has been enforced upon us. America cant control Taliban or insurgents in Iraq and when Pakistan is having trouble doing it, saying Pakistan hosts and breeds terrorists is unfair. If America really believed in this earlier they would never have soulg alliecne with Pakistan.
You are so right
Pakistan certainly does not have 160 million Arabs. The writer was hallucinating. But just to be clear: that was not an "article." It was a comment. World War 4 Report tries to point out errors in comments left by our readers, but we take no responsibility for their accuracy. Material which we post ourselves, on the other other hand, we vouch for.
According to the CIA World Fact Book, Pakistan's total population is not quite 173 million. The ethnic breakdown is provided thusly:
Punjabi 44.1%, Pashtun (Pathan) 15.4%, Sindhi 14.1%, Sariaki 10.5%, Urdu 7.6%, Balochi 3.6%, other 4.7%
I've a hunch that the commenter meant 160 million Muslims.

Madame Frou Frou
Time Out says
Meet Madame Frou Frou - Glebe's latest in great cafe offerings
Is Glebe the next Surry Hills? If the evidence to hand has anything to say about it, the answer is yes. There's Wedge Espresso across the road from the school, two small bars just opened (Mr Falcon's and the Little Guy, both on GPR) as well as the already opened slouch zone 99 Bar. The cherry on the cake is this new café, up by the Little Bottle Shop in Glebe. It's the simple things here that make the place: pastries from Black Star, Victoire bread for the toast and sangas, and coffee from Melbourne star baristas, St Ali. It's a simple layout, too: old cinema chairs lining the walls, block-mounted posters of magicians from the 20s and 30s. And friendly service, too. The menu is classic café with a twist: massive club sandwiches are met with triple decker chocolate toasties - your basic dessert breakfast of a three layer Nutella sandwich. Phwoar. Or maybe you'd prefer a ginger ninja with your coffee - it's a little gingerbread man wearing a chocolate ninja costume from the folks at Black Star. The little café has been open for just over a month, serving the opposite end of Glebe Point Road, which means no matter which end of street you're on, it can only be counted as a win.

That's the title of a post at Cafe Hayek. Don Boudreaux:
According to today's Wall Street Journal, Barack Obama alleges that "Globalization and technology and automation all weaken the position of workers." If this presidential wannabe is correct, then some of the world's most prosperous workers must be the people in that newly discovered tribe in Brazil — persons with absolutely no contact with the global economy or with modern technology.
Less extreme cases, of course, include persons not so cut off from the world as these Brazilian tribes. Sub-Saharan Africans should be more prosperous than eastern Europeans, who, in turn, should be more prosperous than Americans and western Europeans.
Of course, if the facts don't follow this pattern, then I guess that Sen. Obama will soon publicly apologize for either misspeaking or admit that his thesis is flawed.
I won't be holding my breath for apologies from the Senator. The statement does make some interesting points. Globalization and technology do have similar effects on the labor market. It is certainly true that technology is responsible for the vast majority of manufacturing jobs that have been "lost" over the last 30 year rather than free trade (globalization). Productivity has risen dramatically in that time and returns on capital have risen. So in some sense Senator Obama is correct that these market forces weaken the position of workers. There are fewer jobs in manufacturing to go around.
On the other hand those who are the most productive attain higher wages. The proper question for Senator Obama is why we should not want our economy to become more efficient. Those workers who are no longer employed in manufacturing may find more rewarding jobs in other fields. In a sense those workers have been freed from repetitive physical jobs to pursue jobs requiring more brain than brawn. That should be seen as a good thing. Furthermore, the higher return on capital means that there will now be capital available to fund other businesses that will produce more jobs. Higher productivity and increased trade are good for the economy, but workers need to be more versatile and flexible. The ability to adapt is highly rewarded in a dynamic economy.
The only plausible role for government in this equation is to assist the transition of the workers displaced. And frankly, I think that is debatable. What we shouldn't do is handicap the entire economy because a minority of workers are not able to make the transition in a more competitive environment.

Winter weather and the snow and freezing temperatures that come with it have already struck Lane County�s foothills and mountains, but snow appears unlikely for Eugene and the rest of the valley floor in the run-up to Thanksgiving.
According to the National Weather Service�s Portland Weather Forecast Office, areas above 900 feet might see mixed rain and snow tonight, but above-freezing temperatures should keep the snow from sticking around. Andy Bryant, a hydrologist at the weather service in Portland, said that in the coming week the freezing level could at times drop as low as 800 feet, but that the valley was still unlikely to see snow on the ground.
In fact, Bryant said, Sunday should be quite sunny.
Cities higher in the mountains, such as Oakridge and Sweet Home, or deeper in the Willamette Valley, such as Cottage Grove, will probably receive mixed rain and snow by tonight. The Willamette Pass area, which has already been receiving snow, should continue getting snow until at least next Wednesday, after a brief let-up on Sunday. It may receive as much as 7 new inches of snow tonight.
Much of Lane County outside of the valley is subject to a winter weather advisory that forecasts snowfall between 6 and 12 inches over the course of 12 hours. That advisory should end at 4 p.m. today. National Weather Service meteorological technician Gerald Macke said the advisory applied to both the Coast and Cascade ranges in Lane County.
Bryant said the conditions in the valley weren�t right for Eugene proper to get snowed on.
�You�re going to need sustained temperatures below freezing (for snow in Eugene), and right now that doesn�t look likely,� Bryant said. �Right now, what we believe is, snow levels are going to stay above 800 feet.? ... People can look forward to a lot of sun on Sunday; it actually looks like it�s going to stay in the high- to mid-40s for most of the week.�

Louisville Water Tower Park features architectural, engineering and innovative water wonders! Louisville Water Company's original Pumping Station and Water Tower, located on Zorn Avenue at River Road, have stood on the banks of the Ohio River for 150 years, serving as a visual landmark for the city of Louisville and the water utility that bears its name. Designed by Theodore Scowden and his assistant Charles Hermany, the Pumping Station housed the Cornish steam engines that were part of the water company's operations when it began in October, 1860. Scowden designed the station in Classical Revival to resemble a two-story temple with wings on either side. In 1971, the U.S. Government designated the Pumping Station and Water Tower National Historic Landmarks. The Secretary of the Interior at the time called the tower "one of the finest examples of industrial architecture in the world." The Pumping Station restoration, which is the first large-scale interior project since the 1970s, brings the facility back to closely resembling its original pre-Civil War condition. Walls, trim and an early 1900s cast-iron spiral staircase have been restored and help to create a warm and inviting entryway as well as an elegant central Hall that overlooks an outside terrace offering a magnificent view of the Ohio River. The WaterWorks Museum is located in the west wing of the Original Pumping Station. The museum highlights Louisville Water's considerable archive of historic photographs, some dating back to 1860, films and memorabilia, and allows visitors to discover the company's contributions to safe drinking water through its innovations in science and engineering. Visitors can see original architectural drawings, pieces of original water mains, meters and tools used to keep water flowing over the years. Exhibits also include an original steam mud pump as well as lessons about Louisville Water's groundbreaking efforts such as riverbank filtration. Guided tours focus on the science of clean drinking water as well the importance of the architecture and engineering innovation involved in supplying consistently safe and healthy water to the community. The museum hosts student field trips utilizing curricula aligned to Kentucky Common Core Standards. Group tours and special event tours are welcome. Louisville Water Tower Park groups and facility are available for both public and private rentals. For more information, visit www.LouisvilleWaterTower.comBack

Hey, please could someone help me identifying this only song?
the problem is in that time, between 1985 and 1995 I do not know English, and I cannot remember
the lyrics of the song, only in certain way just part of the music.
I know is hard, just someone who listened it, maybe can help me.
It's a tropical, song; not rock, even not salsa, not merengue.
I guess is from some Caribbean island.
It sounded very similar to a kind of slow soca.
And I guess it was sang in English, not my native Spanish.
Please. TAKE NOTICE:
"vaya bombo" is not the title of the song; is a kind of tarareo " humming" of the song
because at that time: plus 20 years or more I didn't know enough English for
decipher the lyrics.
Thanks in advance.

Now that you've launched your beautiful new Websites 360® website, it's time to start thinking about how to get more website visitors that you can convert into customers. The right approach to increasing online traffic can push your site higher in search rankings and put your business ahead of the competition. As you build your web presence, you'll notice that there are many ways to advertise your business online. At Websites 360®, we offer marketing services that incorporate three common tactics for attracting more search traffic. Read on to learn the basics of these online marketing methods, and contact us today to see what kind of online marketing is right for your unique business.
How to Get More Website Visitors
Search Engine Optimization
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of improving your website to make it more visible in organic search results. Search engines focus on relevancy and quality, and a successful SEO marketing plan starts with keyword research to see what terms your target audience is using find your business, services, or products online. Once you have a list of keywords, you then incorporate them by using them in the following areas.
- Meta titles and descriptions: These are the short descriptions that Google shows on search results pages. Having keyword-focused, relevant meta titles and descriptions can increase the probability of search engine users navigating to your website from the list of search results.
- Image ALT tags: Google looks at image alt tags when crawling websites, so having keyword-rich, descriptive alt tags can help search engines better understand what your business is all about. Descriptive alt tags can also help visually impaired web users better understand your visual content.
- Page content: Last but certainly not least, incorporating your keywords into your content is a good way to encourage search engines to rank you for your most relevant search terms. Creating content based on your keywords can help give online searchers information they are looking for, and fresh, relevant content is something Google looks at in their ranking algorithm.
Links to your website can also increase your SEO value. Google looks at links as a sign of credibility, so making sure you have quality links from trusted online directories and websites within your industry should be a focus in your SEO plan. Social links and shares can also help increase your online viewership, so figuring out a social media posting schedule is beneficial when promoting your business online.
Your layout also plays a role in SEO. Make sure you have a mobile-friendly design with simple navigation and an intuitive URL structure. Give your online visitors a user-friendly experience by setting up your website so that users can quickly find whatever information they're looking for.
Leave it to the professionals
Investing in your SEO is an important part of online marketing. Make sure you find a SEO practitioner that's up to date on the constantly changing industry landscape and avoid unqualified SEO companies that may end up harming your online visibility rather than helping it. At Websites 360®, we use industry best practices, and never use "blackhat" SEO techniques that may harm your website.
The Power of Local Listings
Visibility in local search results attracts nearby traffic, including mobile consumers. In addition to making location-based keywords a core part of your SEO efforts, it's critical to make sure your business contact information is displayed prominently across the web. Make sure your NAP "name, address, and phone number," is added to profiles on local listing sites like Google My Business, Facebook and Yelp. Having correct and consistent business information across the web is important for both search engines and actual users. Don't lose a customer because of an incorrect phone number or address!
However, making sure your business listings are correct is no easy task. Maintaining consistency and building online profiles takes time that many business owners simply don't have. Yext is a useful tool for maintaining this necessary NAP consistency. When you make an update to your business listing information, Yext automatically deploys it across publishers so that your information is the same across the web. Once listings are live, Yext notifies you and uses a patented process to prevent unauthorized edits. It also takes care of duplicate listings, provides review notifications, and allows you to build out your local profiles with more detailed company information.
At Websites 360®, all our marketing packages come with local listing management through Yext, so you can spend your time on more important things.
Search Engine Marketing
Like SEO, search engine marketing (SEM) can greatly increase your site's visibility in search results. However, using SEM means paying for the privilege of being seen. Also called Pay-per-click (PPC), this type of advertising is available from major search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. PPC gives you a chance to display specific advertising messages in prominent paid-only search result areas above and below organic search listings.
Targeting is key when setting up a successful PPC campaign. You'll want to make sure you're spending your PPC budget on the right types of online searchers, so doing research before setting up your campaign, and constantly tweaking and testing your campaign setup will allow for the best possible results.
It's important to do the following when setting up your campaign:
- Write keyword-rich titles and ad copy
- Setup geotargeting that makes sense for your business
- Bid on a combination of high- and low-competition keywords
- Create specialized landing pages for each PPC offer
While tools such as AdWords express make it easy to quickly start a SEM campaign, it's beneficial to hire an online marketer to lead your SEM strategy. From best practices to follow, to consistent tweaking and optimizing, we know how to make the most of your marketing budget to efficiently drive the right kind of customers to your website.

I went on a data diet and all I got was ads and paranoia
Even as a technology journalist, it's hard not to switch off when someone starts preaching about personal data. I know, I know – we're telling our deepest secrets to the mega-corporations for free, and they're using fancy algorithms to work out our innermost desires to sell us ads. But for most of us in our day-to-day lives, it's out of sight, out of mind.
Yet it shouldn't be – at the very least, we should be on the ball when it comes to data. So to force myself to confront this head-on, I've …

I have felt bleh since Friday when I glutened myself. The immediate symptoms passed quickly, but I've been tired and blue all yesterday and today. I took a nap yesterday even though I had a huge amount of coffee. Caffeine affects me a lot so the desire to nap and lay around was a surprise that I can only attribute to the delicious, evil chips I had. At least I have another day to recover before I go back to work.
Not all the weekend has been bad. I had this interaction today:
Kid taking my money at the Wendy's drive through: Nice Fedora.
Me: It's actually a Trilby.
Other kid at the drive through window: Ohhhh! School him!
I find it very pleasurable to correct people about my hat. That's probably a sign that I'm a know-it-all.
Now I'm going to fold clothes and finish the dishes so I can reward myself with painting on my leather jacket. I intend to have a giant post about it when I get the back finished.
Hopefully, all of you are having a good weekend and lazing around for more fun reasons than I am.

Ubisoft's MMO shooter The Division is suffering from a online user crisis, with a worrying 81 percent drop in PC players since the game launched in March.
Although The Division launched to massive acclaim when it originally hit the market in March, it was not long before problems with the MMO shooter hybrid were discovered. Perhaps because of this, the Ubisoft-published title has seen an alarming drop in PC users. As it stands, The Division has seen an 81 percent drop in PC players since March.
At its peak, The Division had 114,225 players, accounting for the second day of the game's release. However, the numbers look much less promising now, less than 2 months after the game launched. The most recent figures, according to this Reddit thread, put the PC player base at a mere 22,130.
It's perhaps no surprise to see The Division's stock falling so low, however, particularly given the issues that Ubisoft and developer Massive Entertainment have faced with the game over recent weeks. The title's developers are currently looking at a long list of bugs to fix, and that's before even more serious problems come to the fore. With content such as Daily Missions occasionally dropping, it's no wonder that players have become frustrated.
Alongside these design flaws, and problems with cheaters that have become so bad that even hackers are complaining about other hackers, there are also perhaps some even deeper issues that are causing the player base to drop off so dramatically. In particular, users have criticized The Division's end game, and the level of longevity found therein. Indeed, some have suggested that Massive Entertainment could have taken some design tips from Diablo III.
The Division is far from the only highly anticipated game to see a quick loss of players, however. One of the most famous examples of a multiplayer game that failed to keep a strong gaming audience was asymmetrical shooter Evolve, which failed to live up to the hype and then struggled to maintain an active user base. Meanwhile, DICE's multiplayer shooter Star Wars Battlefront has also found problems, with the game currently holding 45,000 less daily users than 2013's Battlefield 4.
Of course, this is unlikely to make much of a financial impact on Ubisoft, as The Division has already proved to be a massive commercial success, even surpassing Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 in terms of digital revenue. However, should the publisher wish to maintain this financial clout for the long term, then something within The Division will have to change. Hopefully, the game's next Incursion can be used as a springboard for positive, long-term change for this title.

Was Hitler just a scapegoat for Germany as a whole?
I doubt Hitler actually killed anyone. But he did orchestrate the mass killings.
My point is why can't people take responsibilities for their actions.
Much like President Bush has never killed anyone, but he is responsible for the deaths of American soldiers and many innocent Iraqi and Afghani citizens.

Bush never directly killed anyone but Laura did.
- Anonymous1 decade ago
Like you said he was the one who orchestrated all the killings, he didn't actually kill anyone. So in a way i guess he was a scapegoat for Germany as a whole, considering none of the German soldiers were killed or jailed for the mass murders.
I also agree with you on the fact of George Bush, i still don't understand the fact why he can't accept that he is the one responsible for the death of so many innocent lives, i mean he's the one who put them their why can't he just take them out?

First off, is President Bush the only President that has had to deal with war? If so, we could afford to blame him...I remember destinctivley well in 2003 how Saddam and his henchmen tried the patience of the Us and the rest of the freeworld...one had better watch what he asks for he may
just get it! Afghanistan was led by the ruthless Taliban and
the US never went against them, only Bin Laden and AlQueda
which were hiding behind the women and children of the Taliban...since the Taliban hold no respect for their women and children they allowed Bin Laden and his AlQueda use them as human sheilds....President Bush was after the ones
who attacked our country...you must have a very short memory not to remember that...President Bush did take
responsibility...to the American people who were attacked
and expected a measure of justice ...the President
delivered! To that I say Thank you President George W.

Hitler was responsible for convincing masses of people their right to world domination and their superiority as a race and a people. He didn't need to take responsibility. Everyone around him agreed with him, because those who didn't were killed. The decisions of one man can affect the world.

Comparing Bush to Hitler isn't exactly fair. While I don't support Bush 100%, I would never compare his decisions to that of Hitler.
Hitler was an art student dropout. He then worked like crazy to establish a new "political party" in Germany. He ultimately brainwashed much of the country into killing many people solely based on their ethnicity or religion.
President Bush did not start the war: Congress did. Only Congress can authorize a full-out war. A President can only move a small amount of troops without Congress's approval. So, in that sense, Bush is the scapegoat for the USA.
Hitler was not the scapegoat; his actions were his actions.
Feel free to disagree with me, but I have factual evidence in here. Go ahead and look it up.

i don't like bush, but i really hate bush/hitler analogies. and as big a fiasco as the iraq war may be, it's not comparable to the holocaust. as far as hitler and what he represents, read "lord of the flies". sometimes the worst ideas are the ones that have purchase with the most people.
- avail_skillzLv 71 decade ago
Hitler did kill.
He promoted the religious fanaticism, nationalism(blind patriotism), and moralism to enrage the masses and make them fear, hate, and thing of anyone different as a threat.
It has been the same thing Stalin, Mao, Charles Manson, Osama, and the GOP has done. Psychologically, it is the most infallible way to control people....play upon their fears, their religious and state loyalties, their sense of right and wrong, and you have a loyal army. Hitler said so himself.

Hitler was an absolute ruler of the Nazi party. While having complete control, many of his lackeys were equally guilty. The same is basically true of Bush and his criminal regime.
Love your avatar.

Genocide was Hitler's goal. Not the same with Bush.

Wow, that is an absolutely sad attempt at undermining the war and all republicans.
If you are comparing the defense of innocent lives (of which Saddam took millions) with the holocaust, I simply don't know what to say.
Did you know that soldiers voluntarily sign up for exactly what they are doing? And on top of that, you are more likely to get shot and killed in Washington D.C. then at the front lines of the American's side.

Come on, get real, what's next, arrest everyone who stepped on an ant for animal abuse? After all they are animals and weren't putting anyone in dang er when stepped on!!!
Clinton was responsible for the deaths of American soldiers and innocent slavs. Johnson could be accused of the same thing.

Anyway, I was thinking last night when I should have been sleeping...Timing wise we'll probably have our Ethiopian addition by this time next year. That means that she's most likely in utero right now. Which means that there's a mother in Ethiopia that is going to have a horrible year. She's going to carry this child and birth her all the while loving her deeply. Then she's going to get sick, probably with some disease that is completely preventable, then she will pass away leaiving her precious baby.
I so often think of how excited I am that we're adding to our family and how wonderful it's going to be. But all day I've been thinking and praying for my baby's mama. That the Lord will be real to her as she deals with all the hardships that are coming. I can't imagine what it would be like, not being able to watch my children grow up, not even having the peace of mind knowing that my babies would be taken care of by my family, but giving my child to strangers, hoping for a better future for her. What a brave lady, my baby's mama is.
I'm also praying that this problem of people dying of curable diseases would decrease. It's just plain stupid that people around the world are dying when they don't have to. More on that tangent later. I'm reading Red Letters by Tom Davis for the second time it's got me thinking.....

Ugh, I got all choked up reading this. What an incredible mix of emotions you're dealing with. And so is she. There are no words.ReplyDelete
Yes. . .this is a whole series of emotions isn't it? I don't even know how to explain to non-adoptive parents the vast array of emotions I have tied up in this one woman.ReplyDelete
I can't wait to hear your "red letter" thoughts! Love that book!
Amber and I are the same way ... every morning we pray for our adoption, our child, our birth mother and birth family and t's an unreal swing of emotions...ReplyDelete
I know excactly what you are talking about. I received the referral for my 3.5 yo son 2 days before mother's day. While I was overjoyed to be adding to my family, Mother's day was so very heavy. (all 3 of my children are adopted, and we are waiting for court for 2 more). I cried all day that day, thinking about the women who gave birth our children. I wondered at the fact that 3 times I got to be the mom who loves them so much and gets to take care of our children, and 3 times someone else had to be the mother who loved them so much they had to let them go.ReplyDelete
praying for your child and that every orphan gets a family,
Wow...powerful. There aren't really any words...ReplyDelete

Whitsand Bay, runs from Rame Head in the east to Portwrinkle in the west. It is characterised by sheer, high cliffs,(access to the beach is steep), dramatic scenery and long stretches of sandy beaches.
At the western end there's a Ministry of Defence firing range at Fort Tregantle, when the red flag is flying this area is closed for firing range operations. At the eastern end another napoleonic fort Polhawn Battery is now a wedding venue with stunning views across the bay http://www.polhawnfort.com/setting.php
The bay does not have any toilet facilities although the cafe at Tregonhawke beach provides one which is the stretch where most people tend to settle.
lifeguard services operate between May and September and it's a popular surfing spot.
The South West Coast Path runs the length of the bay.

FirstBank, Nigeria's oldest bank is the country's most secured bank against electronic fraud going by the recent recognition accorded the bank at the keenly contested Nigerian Electronic Fraud Forum (NeFF) Annual Dinner and Awards to pick out the industry's leader in secure online transactions. FirstBank won two of the three awards to underscore its strength. FirstBank FraudDesk emerged as the "Best FraudDesk" and the "most Cooperative FraudDesk" in the Industry.
These two awards are clear recognition of the efforts of FirstBank in combating electronic fraud as well as curbing cyber-crime, thereby frustrating all forms of criminal activities targeted at its valued customers in every nook and cranny of the country. The winner of the respective categories was generated through an industry-wide online survey carried out by the Central Bank of Nigeria in partnership with NIBBS. The Bank with the majority of votes across all sectors was accorded the winner of the respective category.
The awards prove that investment in security of customer's funds does have its rewards. Following the appointment of Dr. Adesola Kazeem Adeduntan as FirstBank MD/ CEO, FirstBank management embarked on reengineering program of the Banks technology, operations and upscaling the skill of its personnel with security of its customer's funds as key priority, given the Banks massive investments in alternate electronic transaction channels and Technology. A key asset in the fight against cybercrime and electronic fraud is FirstBank's world class Security Operations Center (SOC) and FraudDesk with capability to track and monitor customers transactions and carry out intervention efforts and recovery when the need arise using advanced fraud analytics tools and security systems. FirstBank SOC facility with advanced Security technology runs a 24/7 operation with highly skilled staff and State of the art security tools and appliances, the department operates within the office of the Group Executive Technology and Servicers Mr. Callistus Obetta.
In his remarks on the awards, Adesola Adeduntan, MD/CEO, First Bank of Nigeria Limited and Subsidiaries said "Given the growing adoption of alternative channels by the banking community in Nigeria and the increasing threat posed by cybercriminals on the Nigerian Payment System, protecting our customers is a challenge the banking industry will continue to face. The need to collaborate on all fronts in order to be steps ahead of the cybercriminals remains the only option available to combatting cybercrime which is why FirstBank FraudDesk and other functions within its operation will continue to champion the industry collaborative spirit to ensure security and the protection of evolving electronic payment climate of the financial sector of the Nigerian economy."
Uduak Nelson, the Chief Audit Executive of the Bank and representative of the MD/CEO, First Bank of Nigeria Limited and Subsidiaries, Dr. Adesola Adeduntan at the event thanked the Central Bank of Nigeria, represented at the event by the Deputy Governor, Operations Mr. Adebayo Adelabu for the recognition given to FirstBank, and assured that the Bank would continue to partner and collaborate with every stakeholder in the industry, including its customers, to ensure the protection of electronic payments and services in the country.

WEEKLY REPORT 8th OCTOBER TO 14th OCTOBER
ORANGEGROVE AC WEEKLY REPORT 8th OCTOBER TO 14th OCTOBER – By David Doey
It was a case of "After the Lord Mayor's Show" this week as Orangegrove athletes seem to take a well-earned rest after the successful hosting and participating in the NI Relay Championships. As the nights draw in it is a sure sign that Cross Country season is upon us and this was one of the two races that there was Orangegrove AC representation.
NIMAA XC Saturday 13th October
The first Cross Country event was held at Queen's Playing Fields and was also trials for the upcoming British & Irish Masters International XC which will take place in Wales next month. Michael O'Donoghue (33:25/60th) and Chris Woods (34:13/66th) towed the line in the men's 8k which was won by Mark McKinstry of North Belfast Harriers in 25:00. Brian Todd finished a creditable fifth in the Vet 65+ 6k race in a time of 26:13- in a race won by Terry Eakin of North Down in 24:19. Congratulations to Chris and Brian in their selection to represent NI in Swansea. Well done.
SAINTFIELD 10k Saturday 13th October
Over four hundred competitors took on the Saintfield 10k and 5k road races organised by Scrabo Striders. Conditions in County Down were more suitable for ducks but credit to the intrepid trio of Eric Fairfield (39:05/8th), Dave Gribben (42:33/24th) amd Sarah Wilson (54:49/136th) who conquered the rural, rugged and undulating roads around Saintfield. The race was won by Peter Gilmore (Narrows TC) in 36:43 and Karen Wilton (Jog Lisburn) in 38:46.
The Tyro's tour of parkrun worldwide continued as they ran Treviso parkrun with Lyndsey finishing 1st female and 2nd overall. John Gribben was a first timer at Oxford.
Closer to home the biggest turnout for OAC was at Victoria Park where Tom Smith got a PB of 20:48. Congratulations to captain Jill Holland for reaching her 100th parkrun at Stormont.
Verity Cornford was a first timer at Orangefield where Selina Myles achieved a PB. A full consolidated club report can be seen via link below:

4. Patellofemoral pain or 'Runner's knee'
5. 'Excessive' pronation of the foot
Our feet walk about 100,000 miles in a lifetime – that's equivalent to walking four times round the globe. The average adult takes in excess of 18,000 steps a day. Foot structural problems or weakness can be a contributing factor to postural problems, leading to pains in the low back, shoulders and neck.
Healthy feet Clinic treats all common disorders of the foot and lower limb including corns, verrucae and knee, hip and back pains. We also perform minor surgery. The shop sells nail cutters, files and moisturisers, as well as a range of exclusive supportive footwear and professional cushioning materials. Why not come for an assessment to the city centre foot clinic? Members of Westfield and HSA and other health schemes can claim back most or all of their fees.

text: Thank you for the transcript! Ah, the dreaded "to plot or not to plot" conversation. What I like is the method that gets the story coherently down on the page. LOL. Short stories I will usually write a short paragraphs-style summary of my intention, and then set it aside, letting the draft flow from having ordered my thoughts. For novels, I will write longer summaries, again paragraphs-style, working out the longer intricacies (and I'll even use nomenclature to reorder events as I work them out). Then I set it aside and start writing. If I get stuck, I'll prod myself into the next scene with a glance back at the initial summary and, if it still fits, remind myself of what I wanted to happen at this point in the story. Then I keep writing. My stories usually end around where I wanted them to, from these initial ideas, and yet I am still free to explore subtexts, parallel themes, plots, and deepening of character within the draft itself.

Nice link, but DAMN that bell is annoying...
TED stands for technology, entertainment and design... of which all three relate to cycling in many forms, so there are plenty of TED talk videos out there on numerous subjects from cycling infrastructure, the health benefits of cycling and bike innovation. Here's a round-up of some of our favourites...
Mark Martin: Bicycling for life
"You really cannot be sad on a bicycle", says Martin at TEDX Louisiana, as he explains how he thinks bike riding can generate positive change in the world. He hasn't driven a car in 22 years and also compares cycling head injury stats with car accidents, falls at home etc to dismiss proposed mandatory helmet laws in his state. Great points, even greater moustache and chops, slightly annoying bell...
Anthony Desnick: The amazing way bicycles change you
Another personal and persuasive case for riding a bike, Desnick goes as far as to claim cycling saved his life by managing his Crohn's disease. After being told his illness was terminal and spontaneously going out on a bike ride, Desnick built up his mileage, changed up his diet and is now able to manage his illness into his 60's.
Lee Craigie: Ride Like a Girl
A former pro mountain biker, Craigie says she learned more about herself in four days of battling through the epic 550km Highland Trail Race than she did in a whole career of elite-level sport. Craigie can certainly tell a story, and accompanied by her trusty custom Shand bike called Jimmy she explains how camaraderie and being inspired by your surroundings can sometimes get you to the finish line much easier than just with sheer brute strength.
Ned Phillips: How endurance athletes are using the power of the now
Phillips discusses endurance sports in general, but goes on to explain how the philosophy of 'thinking in the now' helped him to overcome a 9000km ride across Mongolia amongst other challenges; the idea being that the way endurance athletes think of nothing except their immediate goal to conquer the challenge in front of them can be applied to every day life.
Mikael Colville-Andersen: Why We Shouldn't Bike with a Helmet
Colville-Andersen is Copenhagen's bicycle ambassador, and talks about how important the bicycle is for liveable cities. he claims that the bike helmet is threatening its usage because it creates a "culture of fear". He uses other examples of over-zealous safety products such as a crash helmet for children learning to walk (they do exist, and are actually made in the UK), and questions the validity of the bike helmet as a safety device.
Dotsie Bausch: Olympic Level Compassion
Dotsie Bausch won a silver medal on the track at the 2012 Olympic games, but her path to the pinnacle of the sport was far from conventional; previously Bausch was a model with a cocaine addiction and a life-threatening eating disorder, and an epiphany following a second suicide attempt led her to take up cycling, originally just to start being active again. She goes on to advocate vegetarianism, urging the audience to try going meat-free to make "a positive impact on the environment".
Martyn Ashton: In Disaster There is Opportunity - Finding a Path Through Paralysis
Martyn Ashton was a pioneering mountain biker and world champion in the 1990's, and went on to perform in the popular YouTube live stunt series 'Road Bike Party'; however during one of the shows Ashton suffered a spinal injury and was left paralysed. Despite this he goes on to explain how his greatest days of riding were still to come, after managing to get back on a bike again by working out that "all you need is gravity" to steer downhill...
Bobby Gadda: How Do You Get Off That Thing?
"The initial reason was for attention", says Gadda as he explains how and why he pedalled 1600 miles from Vancouver to Los Angeles on his crazy custom tallbike. Gadda is a bicycle advocate who runs bike workshops and the CicLAvia organisation, that organise closed road events so locals can experience riding and walking the streets without cars whizzing past. He runs us through his gear, how the journey went and most importantly, how the hell you'd go about getting off the bike...
What have we missed? Let us know in the comments!
After cobbling together a few hundred quid during his student days off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story), Jack bought his first road bike at the age of 20 and has been hooked ever since. He joined road.cc in 2017 having previously being Staff Writer at 220 Triathlon magazine, and reports on all things tech as well as editing road.cc's live blog. He is also the news editor of our electric-powered sister site eBikeTips. Jack's preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking (the latter being another long story), and on Sunday afternoons he can often be found on an M5 service station indulging in his favourite post-race meal of 20 chicken nuggets, a sausage roll, caramel shortbread and a large strawberry milkshake.
