MASSACRE THE WASTELAND "World Collapse Countdown" (DIY)
"15 minutes of pure death/grind madness reflecting the nowadays self-destructing proceedings". There was an additional file, the music's one aside, including some certain information about the band when Johannes (guitar) sent me his band's stuff. The sentence above is generally a nice, short description about the music of Massacre the Wasteland, a newly-introduced act hailing from central Europe and especially Germany. The music of Massacre the Wasteland isn't innovative but does overflow with the certainty of professionalism at all levels. Concerning the EP's sound production I've got to admit that a great warmth is achieved despite the digital character of the genre. Vocals are both brutal and piggy and often expressed over much technical guitar themes which owe part of their chaos form to bands like The Dillinger Escape Plan or even newer, more chattering, Ion Dissonance etc. The great about MTW though is that they avoid using those so called beatdown tricks, thus basing their compositions on a totally sicker atmosphere. My opinion is that if those guys choose to imbue their musical style with some more keys/samples like the inspired part of "Conclusion: Extinction" (at 1:15) they are damn able of creating thrilling vibes. It may be too late to talk for these dudes but you could be surprised by their undisputed big appetite. I am really impatient to listen to their first full-length. Oh yes, I am.

On The Radar: Interview with Christian Battle Rapper Street Hymns
The following piece is a part of our On The Radar series including individuals who have been placed on our radar, and we encourage you to have them on yours.
Wade-O Radio: Who is Street Hymns? Where are you from?
Street Hymns: I am an artist, speaker, and battle rapper, residing in Grand Prairie, TX, which is in the Dallas area.
Wade-O Radio: When did you get interested in music and battle rap?
Street Hymns: Because my father is an artist as well, there was never a time where a studio was not in my house. I grew up in a music background that was predominantly hip-hop in its foundation. In fact, before "Cross Movement" was "Cross Movement" and it was just Tru Life and Ambassador, I remember staying at our house and using headphones as a microphone to record their music on cassette tapes (that we still have! CLASSICS). So I grew up seeing the birth of a new generation of CHH first-hand. As far as battle rap goes, I grew up as an emcee, and a part of being a emcee involved battling! I remember my best friend JT bringing that portable DVD player full of instrumentals to challenge any willing competitors back in middle school. But through the years, "battle rap" has definitely evolved and is essentially now it's own unique culture with a major following. In the same way people base their lives in sports, video games, or fashion… Battle rap has become its own niche where it is literally a community. So, as a believer, back in 2009 I gained an immediate love for battle rap and wondered what it would look like for a Christian to join a league.
Wade-O Radio: Who are your influences musically? Battle wise?
Street Hymns: While growing up with the influences of Cross Movement, at a young age I was drawn to Cassidy and his mixtapes because he was the first artist to do a punch-after-punch style while rapping. But as I grew older, the content became a bit repetitive. I was later introduced to Lupe around 2004 and it definitely graphed a new perspective of lyricism for me. As far as battlers go, I remember watching Mr. Biscuit battle, but I never really pulled anything significant to compliment my own style. But my favorite battlers would have to be Daylyt, Charlie Clips, and Hollow Da Don. But in the last year, while still keeping up with the culture, I saw one of Th3 Saga's battles and it changed my perspective on what it looked like to be a CHH battler! So he was definitely paramount in me pursing my dormant desires to join the league.
Warning: Viewer Discretion Advised for videos
Wade-O Radio: Do you think that Christians should be in the battle rap scene? Why?
Street Hymns: I think, we as Christians, should become all things to all men so that we can save some! Now, I don't say this to inspire every CHH artist to join a local league… At all! Lol. But the Lord calls some to go one place, and others to go to another. I believe God called me to join battle rap in order to talk about the same things they do, just from a Christian perspective in order to build relationships and share the gospel.
Wade-O Radio: How do you prepare for a battle and how long do you usually have?
Street Hymns: Preparation is random. But must of my rounds will start with a few punchlines/schemes that I end up compiling to create a free-flowing plot.
Wade-O Radio: You addressed the body of believers in your latest battle, what prompted you to do so? Because of negative feedback?
Street Hymns: I wanted to do a lot in that battle. I wanted to address the negatives of gun bars, I wanted to remind everyone that I am coming from a familiar place and not trying to act like I am better than the next man, and I wanted to address the body. It really did hurt when I was getting negative feedback from the people I thought would support me most! Especially ones that knew me personally and knew my heart way before I decided to battle. At this point, me joining battle rap wasn't to get a stamp of approval from the body, but was to be a light in a dark place. But because of the uniqueness of the ministry and the ignorance of knowing WHO I am and what I'm about, I can honestly see the hesitation to support my decision to go where the wild things are.
"I talk like Jesus and all the Christians love me/ I walk like Jesus now they wanna judge me, ain't it funny?" – Andy Mineo
Wade-O Radio: About your catchphrase "See, that's what's Bible study's for. So if you don't Google it yourself, hit me on my Facebook… we can Bible study more." Two part question, did you think that catchphrase or closing line would catch on so well? And have people taken you up on your offer to hit you up on your Facebook to Bible study or learn more about God?
Street Hymns: The catchphrase kinda happened naturally, but after my first battle I was gonna drop it and move on. But, Th3 Saga affirmed that it was crucial to my ministry. And he was right! My reasoning behind it, was to give the crowd dope bars that they could understand, and then let my last bars be kind of an "inside" thing. By having consistency of lyricism, why would the audience expect that to change in the end? So, my goal was to make them think "man! I don't know what it means, but I sure want to know!" But… That's what Bible studies for. It has lead to more than just Bible studies, but it's lead to relationships! I honestly feel like I'm apart of the DFWBL family.

Wade-O Radio: Can you breakdown your toughest lines/rhyme schemes from your latest battle?
Street Hymns: Every bar is actually quite intentionally weighty. Lol. So a rapgenius breakdown could be applied for every bar, but I'll do a few that I think we're most meaningful.
Round 2- Justice League Scheme
"See you KENT S-CAPE(Superman) His wrath, because He's at the judgement seat/ so toKNIGHT (Batman) taste that living AQUAMAN cause the cup is free/ you're lookin like a ROBOTMAN (Cyborg) but he can free you from your puppetry/ My mom gets worried when I get in the RING (Green Lantern) but I was given the GREEN LIGHT(Green Lantern)… So SHE don't have to WONDER(Wonder Woman) why I'm trying to adJUSTICE LEAGUE" battled against DC, so I did a comic book scheme.
Round 3 – DC Talk Scheme
Toby MAC is the lead SINGER in DC TALK, and I named a majority of his greatest hits.
Round 3 – Harry Potter Scheme
It's no wonder, why these kids are scarred, because they never hear I love you/ Parents curse and sip patron it's like they think that stops the struggle/ snakes are slitherin, with no apologies there's double trouble/ when kids can quote Bobby Shmurda but can spell like a muggle/
It's no WANDer, why these KIDS ARE SCARRED (Harry Potter was scarred by the Dark Lord as a child) because they never hear I love you/ parents CURSE (curses are used by wizards and witches) and sip PATRONUS (patronus is a charm spell that gives defense) like they think that stops the struggle/ SNAKES are SLYTHERIN (slytherin is one of four houses in the Hogwarts school. Their mascot is a snake) with no a POLYJUICE (a potion that allows the user to change their appearance) there's DOUBLE TROUBLE (a song sung by the choir in Harry Potter)/ when kids can quote Bobby Shmurda, but can't SPELL like a MUGGLE (a muggle/human is someone who has no magical blood making them incapable of performing any spells)
Wade-O Radio: Even though you have three battles under your belt, do you see yourself eventually entering a tournament battle league like URL?
Street Hymns: I have another DFWBL Battle coming up in March. But what started out as an idea to be a light in a small league has definitely sparked interests in going to the URL for sure, if the opportunity presented itself.
Wade-O Radio: Any encouragement, warnings, tips for other Christians thinking of probably doing battle rap?
Street Hymns: Tough question… Because the last thing I needed was someone telling me, "no don't do it because it'll be ineffective" or "they're not gonna like you" or "you're not good enough." But I KNOW God called me to it. I have had people tell me they want to, but honestly if you're doing so for views, exposure, or competition as the first thought… That is where I would HIGHLY discourage any believer to do so. But if anyone is curious, I would talk to other lyricists and test things out (minus an actual opponent).
Wade-O Radio: Where can people follow you and find your music?
Street Hymns: I released a collaborative project with an artist named KiShon Furlow (who debuts in the DFWBL on February 15th) and that project is available on all musical outlets (iTunes | Amazon | Google Play). All my social media outlets are @streethymns (Twitter | Facebook | Soundcloud | YouTube).

MELAKA: National Scouts deputy chief commissioner Datuk Abdul Kader Mohd Noor died today following a battle with intestinal cancer.
He was 77.
He died at 3.45am at his home in Jalan Solok Musai, Bukit Baru here. His family was at his side when he breathed his last.
More than 300 friends, comprising scouts from the Philippines and Indonesia, as well as Abdul Kader's relatives, were present to pay their last respects.
Also present was National Chief Scout Tan Sri Dr Shafie Mohd Salleh.
Abdul Kader was buried at the Kampung Musai cemetery about 1pm.
The retired teacher was Melaka Chief Scout Commissioner for almost 25 years before being appointed as National Scouts deputy chief commissioner, a position he held for almost eight years.
He is survived by his wife Datin Mazni Tajudin, 75, a daughter and a grandson.
Meanwhile, Sarawak Chief Scout Commissioner, Mohd Zamir Mohd Sharif described the late Abdul Kader as a dedicated man and worthy of being called the 'father of the scouts development'.
"He was a man with a mission and vision and brought about many reforms while holding various position in the scouts, including establishing state scouts medals.
"He was always active in the scouts' activities and recently also participated in a national meeting.
"His passing is very much felt."
Cikgu Nadir was our MHS teacher in 1970s. A dedicated Scout master with the Malacca High Scout Troops. I knew him when I was an Assistant Scout master in Malacca High in 1974/75 before I left to pursue my higher studies in UK.
We met up again in 2014. A great loss to the Malaysian Scouting fraternity. RIP. TW Kang

On my other blog I am today writing about Capital Gains..continue...
I do not own this stock of Shaw Communications Inc. (TSX-SJR.B, NYSE-SJR). It was a stock on Investment Reporter list (MPL Communications Publication).
Looking at the insider trading report, I find $14M of insider selling and net insider selling at $13.8M with a small amount of insider buying at $0.2M. Over the past month, directors seem to be retaining their Directors' Deferred Share Units. Besides options, insiders have Restricted Share Units and Directors' Deferred Share Units, which are option like vehicles.
The 5 year low, median and high median Price/Earnings per Share Ratios are 14.06, 16.52 and 17.90. The current P/E Ratio is 13.92 based on a stock price of $24.36 and 2014 earnings estimates of $1.75. This stock test says that the stock is cheap.
I get a Graham Price of $18.73. The 10 year low, median and high median Price/Graham price Ratios are 1.38, 1.61 and 1.87. On a relative basis this stock test says that the stock price is cheap. On an absolute basis, the P/GP Ratio would have to be 1.00 or lower for the stock price to be cheap.
The 10 year median Price/Book Value per Share Ratio is 3.20. The current P/B Ratio is 2.73 based on a stock price of $24.36 and a Book Value per Share of $8.91. The current P/B Ratio is 86% of the 10 year median P/B Ratio. This stock test says that the stock price is reasonable. For the stock price to be considered to be cheap, the current P/B Ratio would have to be just 80% of the 10 year median P/B Ratio.
The 5 year median Dividend Yield is 4.23% and the current dividend yield is some 6.7% higher at 4.52%. This stock test shows that the stock price is reasonable. For the stock price is to be cheap by this test, the current dividend yield would have to be 20% higher than the 5 year median dividend yield.
On a historical dividend yield basis, the average dividend yield is 2.43% a value some 86% lower than the current dividend yield and this suggests that the stock price is cheap. However, dividend yields were started off in a very low range and they were increased over time to take up a higher percentage of the earnings and cash flow. I would wonder how good this test is in light of this fact.
My stock tests show that the current stock price of $24.36 is relatively cheap to reasonable. Analysts expect that this company will do very well in 2014 as far as revenue, earnings and cash flow go. Certainly the first quarterly report for 2014 of November 2013 has these values going in the right direction, but not as strongly as expected yet.
For example, analysts expect that EPS will climb some 7.4% in 2014. If you look at year over year ending in August 2013 and November 2013, EPS is up but by only 0.8%. Cash Flow per Share is expected to climb by 150% in 2014, but if you look at year over year ending in August 2013 and November 2013 Cash Flow per Share is up by 28%. We can say that revenue, earnings and cash flow are heading in the right direction.
This stock was analyzed by the Dividend Growth Investing & Retirement blogger in May 2013 and he gives an overall positive take on this stock. He also did another review of this stock two days later and it is here. The blogger Canadian Miser named this stock as one of the op 10 Undervalued Dividend Paying Stocks on January 30, 2014. The blogger Insider Monkey says that hedge fund holdings of this stock dropped 17% in the first part of 2013.
When I look at analysts' recommendations, I find Buy, Hold, Underperform and Sell recommendations. The consensus recommendation would be a Hold. The 12 month stock price is $25.10. This implies a total return of 7.55% with 3.04% from capital gains and 4.52% from dividends.
My stock testing shows that the stock price is relatively cheap to reasonable. However, I do wonder about the future of the communications industry and the effects of future technological changes on this sector. To me the risks associated with communications stocks concerning future tech changes is high and I wonder if this stock is cheap enough to make the risk of buying it enough. See my spreadsheet at sjr.htm.

They say time flies when you are having fun. But let me tell you -- when you are waiting for that *fun* to start, time really does drag on. Not only did last week feel like one of the longest weeks known to man, but this past weekend was quite a long one, as well. Granted, I had plenty to do to fill it ... but it seemed like the minutes were just barely ticking by. I never thought we would wake up to Monday morning! Saturday, I spent the day with a few fellow MOPS moms, planning out the schedule for our entire year to come. Play dates. Meeting agendas. Mom's nights out. We had lunch, got in plenty of girl talk, and got ourselves excited for a great year ahead. As soon as we were done our meeting, I drove home, picked up the family, and we headed to town for dinner out with my father-in-law, and then picked up Victor from the vet. He was so happy to be home, and is already settling in to the rest of the house nicely. Although he still prefers to hide from the kids in our room, snuggled up under our bed! Sunday morning we spent our time at church, and came home to get right into the cleaning. I hate leaving the house a mess, and coming home to one, as well. I made a checklist, and got right to it. All while I made the kids be responsible for their play room. It took a bit of nagging, and a whole lot of reminding, but they finally managed to get it clean.
We have a lot to look forward to in the next few weeks -- and already, August feels like it is absolutely FLYING by. Even if the days are going slow.
The weekend -- how was yours?!

IMPHAL, Apr 15: All Zeliangrong Students' Union- Assam, Manipur and Naga-land (AZSU–AMN) has today issued strict directives to all its zonal units to brace them-selves up for the proposed 48-hour total bandh starting April 17 midnight in Zeliangrong areas in Manipur against the highhanded of the security forces.
"This organization (AZSU–AMN) has imposed a 48-hour bandh with effect from midnight of April 17 to midnight of April 19, 2011, in order to pressurized the Government of India to take up necessary action against the highhanded Indian Army and paramilitary forces who let loose reign of terror among the innocent Zeliangrong public," stated a press release issued by the outfit's publicity wing.
Asserting that Colonel Chonkar of 11 Assam Rifles has been running from pillar to post seeking forgiveness from Churches in Tamenglong district headquarters for his haughtiness in the past, the Zeliangrong organization said that a mere apology may not be able to compensate for those six decades of old wrongs committed against the Naga public by the Indian security forces.
The Zeliangrong students' body also questioned the validity of the support extended to Col Chonkar by womenfolk from Vocational Training Centre (VTC) and others.
"We will expose their nexus in due course of time," the AZSU said.
AZSU–AMN has submitted a complaint memorandum to the Prime Minister of India on March 24, 2011, in collaboration with Zeliangrong Baudi Manipur (ZBM), but no action has so far been taken in this regard, the press release said.
It has warned that if the Government of India continues to be apathetic to its demands and does not initiate positive action against the highhandedness of the Indian security forces and Col Chonkar of 11 Assam Rifles, the organization will not remain silent but intensify its agitation in cooperation with the general public until its charter of demands are fulfilled.
Meanwhile, the organization has decided to go ahead with the proposed 48-hour total bandh in Zeliangrong areas starting April 17 midnight and has appealed for support from the general public for its success.

One of the best things about Chicago's fashion community is that fact that there are so many emerging talents in the city. Mashallah Ghouleh is a perfect example. The owner of the eponymous two-year-old jewelry company is young, ambitious and equal parts creative and business-minded.
I caught up with this designer to talk about the decision to start her own company, the importance of getting your foot in the door and (obviously) accessories.
Statement Scene: First of all, tell me a little bit about your background.
Mashallah Ghlouleh: My background is just fashion everything. When I first got into the industry – I think I was like 17 – I was doing hair, makeup and wardrobe for years. I used to do a lot of fashion loans from Akira and I was in there so much that one of the district managers was like, 'would you give us a chance?' and I was like 'I don't know because I'm in school and it's just crazy.' She convinced me to just come in and work one day.
Being that I had a relationship with them, I couldn't just say no. The rest is pretty much history. I started working for them, I stopped doing hair and makeup, I only did wardrobe. I was at the store so it just made sense that I'd have clients come in for editorials and things like that. They'd shop with me there. I was there for about four years and I helped them open a ton of locations. It was insane. I was there for a long time. It's a baby – they're still growing it, but at lighting speed. My work was always doubled or tripled. It was a great experience.
SS: Did you work retail for them? Were you mostly in the stores?
MG: I worked in the stores for my first three months. I was only a stylist, like a sales person. After that they asked me to manage their North Ave. shoe store. That was my first store. After that I was in a different store every six months, just kind of fixing it up. I was kind of their go-to for underperforming stores or if they opened a new store and needed to great the vibe, the lifestyle, the imaging, they used me to do that.
SS: That's a great story for the importance of getting your foot in the door and then proving yourself and moving up the ranks.
MG: You know what, as crazy as the experience was, an intense as it was, as time-consuming it was – I would never undo that experience. It got my foot in the door. I learned from Jon Cotay. I learned the marketing scheme from him. In regards to sales, they just threw me in there – but when it came to building a business, building clients and a name, it really helped to work with him and see how he did things. It was the ultimate experience. He took a name that had no meaning and in 11 years he turned it into an empire. It was an amazing experience.
SS: At what point did you decide to start your own line?
MG: Well I bounced around at Akira . That last store I was asked to take over was the mens' store. At the time I was contemplating my move. The company seems huge because there are 20 some stores, but it's a tiny company on the inside. They couldn't afford not having me in the role they had me in but I really wanted to get into buying or something different. I wanted to grow. I was looking for a way to move and I hit a plateau. I took over the mens' store and once I got it to where I wanted it to be, that was my exit.
SS: Do you feel like you could have made it on your own without the experience at Akira?
MG: You know, I've always been an entrepreneur, ever since I was a little girl. I used to make cards and sell them when I was in fifth, sixth grade. I used to sell them for a dime but my friends ate it up because it was when everyone was just starting to understand what a boyfriend or a girlfriend was. I've always been my own boss. I was doing freelance work, working with models on their comp cards and getting taken on by photographers prior to Akira.
I had an understanding of how to build something of my own but I loved experience of working with Akira. I love high-energy and positive environments. I loved the music, I loved the people, I loved that I got to help them leave feeling confident. I wanted my own boutique so rather than continuing to do hair, wardrobe and makeup, I knew I could put that on the side and work for Akira and get a stronger, better knowledge on how to operate a successful boutique. There's operating a boutique and then there's operating a successful, driven boutique – I wanted that experience.
Working at a company like that, they never micromanage you. There are three owners and they're always so busy. I'm a self-starter. Always have been and always will be. They knew they didn't need to micromanage me, but I do believe that experience is everything.
SS: What advice would you give somebody who wants to start a fashion-centric business?
MG: The number one thing i say to all my friends in the industry is that it's really, really hard. It's not all about all the glitz and the glamour; it's all about sacrifice and dedication. And if you don't know how to sacrifice and dedicate your everything to the end result you're trying to reach, it will be super tough. That's the advice: Stay positive, be ready for people to decline whatever it is you want to show them and be dedicated to whatever you want to do.
SS: How would you describe your company to someone who knows nothing about it?
MG: The company in general: Everything I do, I want to do originally. I want everything to be colorful. By colorful, I mean the energy that you feel when you hit the web site, the energy you feel when you attend an event.I value timelessness over all. I love anything vintage. When I design, it's all about timelessness, forever fashion, not minute fashion. Not what's just in the season. I want to do what's in today, next year and five-ten years from now. That's how I modeled my company.
SS: Do you have a team working with you?
MG: I do. My jewelry is handmade here in Chicago so I have a team of about eight of us who manufacture and handmade the jewelry here. I'm a brand new company so I might have my team of eight come in one week out of eight. Other than that, it's me and my husband doing everything. He does information security for the telecommunications industry – this guy's like a whiz. All of our photography, both product and lifestyle, we do ourselves. We do the majority of….everything.
SS: Where do you look for inspiration?
MG: Everything inspires me because I'm an artist at heart. Street style – I love to sit and people watch when I can, which is not that often, but still. If I can't do that I'm online on my Google feed.
SS: Since you design accessories, what are the five accessories you couldn't live without?
MG: I am an accessory whore. Everything on me is basic and it's my accessories that carry my outfit. Right now it's a battle because I really, really love scarves. I've always worn scarves but then I really can't do too much around my neck.
My wristwear is a must. Good shoes are a must. The right handbag is really important to me. I usually travel with at least the iPad, maybe a couple notebooks, my perfume, an extra pair of flats in my bag. The right handbag in the right size is so important. My fifth one…this might sound awkward but my hair is an accessory. It's kind of my signature look. It's kind of evolved here and there in regards to how I do the bun but it's one of my accessories. My hair is super long and i refuse to cut it. People always ask me why I keep it so long if i'm just going to put it up. It's just a signature look. I meet someone once and more than likely they're not going to forget me the second time they cross paths with me.
As far as accessories go, outside of everything, the only reason I am where I am is because of my confidence. I never leave the house without it. That's my number one accessory. Outside of the shoes, the handbag, all of that – because even though I am a designer, I can lose all of that. It's all about confidence. That's the reason why I am where I am.

Charlie still had brief glimmers of recognition when Eileen came to visit, especially when she wore the emerald earrings he had given her so many years ago.
She'd had her eye on those beauties at Bloomies, dropping by every day on her lunch break.
Charlie worked the jewelry counter then. He looked forward to her daily visits. When Eileen finally agreed to go on a date with him, he brought along a secret weapon to win her heart; those earrings. Smart man, that Charlie.
Now, they were Eileen's secret weapon.
"Hello Emmy," he beamed.
Eileen smiled. Charlie's heart remembered.

SEO is a great way to get traffic to your website. It makes your website appear near the top of search engine results. Keep reading to learn about it.
As you tweak your website's search engine focus, don't give into the thought that advertising is the great way to higher rankings. Although advertising by working with other sites can get you great traffic while making your income higher. However, it may not boost the ranking you have.
Buy a domain name that is easy for people to remember and relates to your product. This is very useful for the people who discover you through YouTube because it is easy to remember.
Consider how long they have been in business, and their experience. Prior to making any decisions, understand the risks that are involved.
Employ a product feed for the purpose of expanding the customer base that is yours and increasing your website traffic. This will help you build a positive online presence. Feeds like this detail your services and products with images, descriptions and prices. A consumer site that lists good deals, or listing with a search engine can provide this help to your site. Make sure to include a place where loyal customers can sign up to monitor your feed.
Anchor text is essential when you put links on your webpage. Do not just put "click here" because this will not do anything for SEO. Good keywords in your anchors will get you noticed by the spider crawlers.
Site Map
To boost your PageRank, you have to attract and maintain the visitors on your page. It is believed that the length of time that someone spends on a website will have an influence on the website's PageRank. In other words, simply driving traffic to your site is no longer an effective way to get a good PageRank rating. Discussion areas are a wonderful way to hold onto your visitors.
Adding a site map to your website is a highly important search engine optimization step. Site maps make it significantly easier for search engine crawlers and spiders to access every webpage on your website. A large site might require more than one site map. It is important to keep the amount of links per map to under 100.
Take the initiative to request that a non-profit or educational site link back to your site content. Having a link on a site with reputable source status gives a search engine more reason to view your site as having valuable and relevant information. Always provide the best in content and verifiable information. When you do, reputable websites will feel comfortable featuring your website. If your content is useful, other websites will want to link to you.
You can take a do-it-yourself approach to learning the tips and tricks of becoming an SEO. There are a number of resources out there that can help to educate you. You can look at tons of terrific websites and books as well.
Develop a site map to make it easier for the search engines to index your pages. Visitors and search engines alike use the site map, sometimes called a navigation bar, makes it easier to find the pages on your site. Adding a site map is an easy way to improve your rank with popular search engines.
Site maps make the website easier to navigate and increases the traffic to your different pages. This way all the pages on your site will be linked together. An easy to use site will get more traffic.
To get the best possible search engine rankings, learn all you can about social website marketing and take full advantage of the free advertising opportunities. You may have heard of Twitter and Facebook, but there are other players in the game as well. Special interest sites offer many networking opportunities for your business as well. Join the sites that relate to your business and use them to promote your products and services.
Site maps help search engines catalog your pages more effectively. Also known as a navigation bar, a site map allows search engines to find pages from any other page of your site. When your site is not very large, you still want to have a site map to help raise your search engine rankings.
Begin by doing ample keyword research. Learn which keywords will be best for you to incorporate into your website. The focus of your research should be on discovering which search terms are most common in your particular niche. Raise your SEO ranking by focusing on these subjects throughout your webpage.
Take the time to become knowledgeable about strong and weak keywords. Learn which particular keywords should be utilized as you build your site's content and titles. By researching certain keywords, you will be able to find out exactly what people search for in your category. By using relevant keywords, you can help increase your rank on search engines.
Be sure your title tag is something you focus on. The title tag will be one of the first things that visitors notice. It ought to be a distinct description of your site's content, and it should include keywords of great relevance. In addition, make sure it is not too long.
Website owners often overlook the important task of proofreading. Make sure that your website's content can be clearly understood by your audience and by the search engines. Search engine algorithms look for a bad site copy and penalize it when ranking sites.
Use Javascript if you want, but some crawlers won't see it. Using Java is a choice that each website owner must consider; however, it is important to realize that each search engine crawler ranks differently.
Site Map
Image links rarely play a role in search engine optimization. Image links do not offer search engines any more than a URL for the linked file.
Design your site map to incorporate your chosen keywords. Site maps are excellent navigational tools as well as helpful for search engine optimization. A search engine will also use your site map to give you a higher ranking because one of the things that they are looking for is how easy your website is to access.
Learn how to effectively incorporate the language you need to include in your HTML tags. Keyword usage will help you improve your SEO. Of all the words on your page, the words that appear in your title tag are generally given the most weight by search engines. Choose your keywords wisely and based upon results they give you. A perfect keyword can help direct traffic to your website.
Whenever your site is complete, your first step should always be to register it with all the major engines. It is a common misconceptions that it happens on its own. It pays to check these results are still accurate on a regular basis. This search ensures that web crawlers are still finding your webpage.
One search engine optimization technique that will boost your rank is to create relevant links from your website to other websites that contain high quality content. This is really important when it comes to linking. Search engines place more importance to relevant off-site links than to the internal links that connect pages of your site. Look for options that will also link to your website; this will help your site rank highly and increase your traffic.
Captions for images, articles and other content pieces are great optimization tactics. For instance, if photos or newspaper articles are abundant on your site, add captions that are relevant to your keyword; you will soon see more traffic.
Earn more search hits by using longer or plural versions of keywords. Keyword stemming is used by many search engines. Using the plural form of the word, such as "accountants" instead of "accountant," will increase the likelihood that people who search for similar terms will be directed to your site. If you are using a search engine that uses keyword stemming, use the longest form of the word possible.
By enrolling your website in Yahoo! and Google's free local listing service, you can increase site exposure. You can get free publicity that will help bring visitors your way. Don't ever turn down a chance for free publicity.
Use keywords in anchor text. There are some words which are to be avoided, though. Learn about what words you should use with the help of websites that explain it in detail.
Use the right text when you set up interlinks. There are certain words you should avoid since they don't help in the optimization. Someone who specializes in search engine optimization will be able to help you find the proper anchor text to use.
You can establish criteria for your search engine to use that will allow you to customize its capabilities. When you are attempting to enhance a search engine's performance, you should use defined commands that will give you the best results.
Make sure you implement the use of social networking sites as a means to improve your SEO. You can interact directly with clients through Facebook and Twitter, while YouTube makes it easy to promote products through instructional videos.
If you hire a third-party firm to do your SEO work, ask probing questions before you hand over any money. Ask solid and direct questions about their results, their success in SEO promotion, their best practices and most importantly, ask how long before you start seeing results. Be sure to look at some of their other work, and try to talk with previous clients. The company will work with you if they are reasonable.
By creating more defined search parameters, you can optimize the results to work in your favor. Use definite and simple commands that result in relevant results.
Search engines use bots which constantly search for new and updated content. Adding new content on a daily basis will invite these bots to take a look at your site. Additionally, if you publish really good articles, they will be shared. The people who have linked to your content are likely to come back to read more, and their friends will come with them!
You need to be patient when you are implementing search engine optimization. You may become worried when you don't see instantaneous results. With millions of websites already online, it will take time for yours to fight its way to the front. Though you may not see immediate results, you must persevere in your efforts. You will see dividends from your dedication as your ranking climbs.
Be sure you have a website that users find friendly and without errors. Visitors will look elsewhere if your page contains grammatical errors. Watch your links to make sure they all go to the proper pages and that they all work.
Search engines use bots which constantly search for new and updated content. Adding new content on a daily basis will invite these bots to take a look at your site. People will also share your articles if they are good. The people who have linked to your content are likely to come back to read more, and their friends will come with them!
Your META tags must contain keywords and phrases if you want your ranking to improve. Be sure that the keywords have something to do with your page while being something that a lot of people are searching for.
Use phrases in your SEO efforts. Do you typically search with only one word? You need to attract traffic to your site that is actually looking for what your site has to offer. Don't just use, "We'll be having a sale!" Use something like, "Our Washington store is holding a sale!" " rather than "We are having a sale! .
If your website is for a business, include the owner or CEO in contributing content. Visitors to your site will be excited to get information directly from the person at the top of the company.
Comment on popular blogs, and leave a link in your signature. You will be allowed to include the link to your business if you provide a valuable comment. However, take care not to drop your link on irrelevant blogs as you will not be adding value to the host site. Knowing your subject will assist you in leaving valuable comments. Bloggers will then allow you to post a link to your site.
No matter how unique the content of your webpage may be, if you have a high number of videos, crawlers will not be able to find your website easily. To catch the attention of search engine crawlers, create a site map where all the videos from your site are listed. This way the crawlers will register the text and keywords associated with your videos and link them to your site.
As you've read, SEO is simple, free, and effective in making your website popular online. Using the tips here can boost the popularity of your site after they've had some time to work. Start using these tips today and get the advantage over your competitors.
Many people don't realize that not using an ALT tag is a mistake when it comes to SEO. Images shouldn't just be used to make your site look good, but should also help it get a boost of recognition by search engines. Make sure that you take advantage of ALT tags when you use images, so that the text is seen by search engine spiders. This is another way that you can include keywords on a website.

So my mom got me this android tv box thing for Christmas, and I really know nothing about it aside from the fact that it seems to be a pain in the butt. I mean, I already have Netflix, and I can download anything else that I want to watch in less time than it seems to take to find it on this Kodi thing. Honestly, I haven't had a lot of time to explore it...but I really don't see the point.
I suppose it'd be cool to watch live tv like news or even the World Juniors hockey tournament that's on right now, but there are just too many clicks required, as far as I'm concerned.
What else is this thing good for?

Read when an Irritrol RD600 controller turns a valve on or runs a schedule unexpectedly, or if a valve stays stuck on.
(This and all information on the RainDialDoctor website is copy-righted by Brian Keller.)
Summary: Typical Causes:
- The valve is turned on manually at the valve (in the valve box typically underground) The valve itself should normally be in the off position so that it can be turned on by energizing the solenoid on top of the valve). If turned on, nothing can turn it off. Make sure the solenoid it tight (hand tighten snugly) and any also check the pressure relief screws are tight. .
- The valve is failing and it's not a controller problem, see below for more details.
- The controller is just programmed incorrectly or got reset and is now running the default program, see below for more details.
Note that the ABC switch does not set which schedule is going to run; it's only used to program the schedules. Schedule AB&C always run, regardless of the switch setting. Thus, if you do not want A to run, then you must "un-program it" by putting the switch on A and setting all the start times to off.
- The controller is failing – causes strange behavior, seems to work, then does something unexpected. Failing controllers typically cause valves to not turn on, so if they're stuck on, it's usually not the controller. If you believe it is, try turning off the controller's power. If the valves stay on, it is not a controller problem.
Guide to overall understanding:
Here are some other troubleshooting steps for the Irritrol RD600 series sprinkler controller:
- Try manually turning on a valve and then turn it off. When you turn it off, the valve should go off within 10 seconds. If not, the valve is likely the problem.
- Re-check the programming – all three schedules A,B and C. See Item 2 below.
If the valve goes off, it's likely a problem caused by the controller; plug the ribbon cable back in and:
- Check the programming (item 2 below). If you see a small number on the top of the LCD display, it means the controller has turned that valve number on. It should only do this if it's programmed to do so. Check the time and programming to make sure they're correct. If it all looks good, try the next step.
- Try resetting the sprinkler controller – link
- You've done all you can, the problem seems to be the controller; we can repair it. (Item 3 below)
- Note that older timers will reset on a power outage to turn on every valve, every day at 7am for 10min. Double check the programming has not changed unexpectedly.
- Day of the week or time of day – watch out for the subtle difference between the A and P in AM/PM. It's the only complaint I have about the Irritrol timers.

1 Functions of the circulatory system PHYSICAL EDUCATION THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM Circulates blood through the body Transports water, oxygen and food to cells and removes wastes from the cells Helps other body systems to function (e.g. the muscular system) Helps fight disease Helps maintain correct body temperature The Circulatory system has three parts: The Heart the organ which pumps blood around the body The blood vessels the tubes through which the blood moves (arteries, capillaries, veins) The blood consists of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets THE HEART Function The heart is a hollow muscular organ which serves as a pump to push blood around the body. It is capable of pumping blood about two meters into the air if a large artery is cut. Structure The heart is divided into four chambers A muscular wall divides it into right and left sides Each side consist of two chambers: the upper chamber is called the atrium and the lower chamber is called the ventricle Blood flows into the atrium, which pushes the blood through a valve into the ventricle. The valve ensures that blood does not flow back into the atrium
2 THE ACTION OF THE HEART (WoS pg. 37) The beating action of the heart has three stages called the cardiac cycle. Stage 1 (a) Diastole The atria and ventricles are relaxed and blood flows from the atria to the ventricles Stage 2 (b) Systole The atria contracts expelling blood into the ventricle and filling it which then cause the bicuspid and tricuspid valves to close Stage 3 (b) Systole The ventricles contract powerfully and pumps blood through the semilunar valves into the arteries The heartbeat is one complete cycle of the heart Heart rate (pulse) is the number of times the heart beats per minute. In a healthy adult the resting heart ate will be about 70 beats per minute Stroke volume is the amount of blood pumped by the heart in each beat Cardiac output is the amount of blood pumped out of the heart per minute. It is controlled by both heart rate and stroke volume: Heart rate x stroke volume = cardiac output The pulse The pulse can be felt and sometimes seen in the arteries just below the skin in certain parts of the body. The pulse occurs when the left ventricle contracts and forces the blood into the aorta. The new blood pushes blood already there further on. The movement of the blood in the artery is felt as the pulse. The pulse is felt on the radial artery of the inside of the wrist and on the carotid artery in the neck.
3 BLOOD FLOW AROUND THE BODY The right atrium (A) receives deoxygenated blood from the Inferior and Superior vena cavae. This blood is dark red because its oxygen has been used up. The right atrium pumps this blood through the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle (D). The right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood through the semilunar valve into the Pulmonary artery (F) which takes the blood into the lungs where it regains oxygen and becomes bright red in colour. Oxygenated blood flows from the lungs through a large vein called the Pulmonary vein (G) to the left atrium (B) The left atrium pumps the blood through the Mitral or Bicuspid valve into the left ventricle (C) which is the most powerful part of the heart. The left ventricle pushes the blood through the semilunar valve into the Aorta which takes the blood to the rest of the body Systemic Circulation - blood being pumped from the heart to the lungs and back again Pulmonary Circulation blood being pumped from the heart to the lungs and back again
4 BLOOD VESSELS There are three types of blood vessels: Arteries carry blood away from the heart to the limbs and organs of the body have the thickest walls which are elastic to withstand the high pressure surges of blood caused by the powerful contractions of the heart contracts in between heart beats to help blood flow along the arteries carry oxygenated blood except the Pulmonary artery divide into smaller vessels called arterioles Capillaries are the thinnest blood vessels which are only one cell thick only let single cells of blood through one after the other allow oxygen and nutrients to pass from the blood into the cells and carbon dioxide and waste to pass from the cells to the blood join up again to form first venules then veins
5 Veins return blood from the limbs and organs to the heart are wider and have thinner walls than arteries because the blood pressure in them is thin and less than that of the arteries some have valves which prevent blood flowing backwards, away from the heart, such as in the limbs the contraction of muscles around the vein assist the return of blood to the heart carries deoxygenated blood except the Pulmonary vein BLOOD seven percent of body weight is blood blood is composed of Plasma 55% and cells 45% which consist of red cells, white cells and platelets Plasma is a pale yellow liquid contains proteins, salts, glucose, fats, antibodies, hormones, carbon dioxide and waste products Red blood cells (erythrocytes) made in the red marrow of long bones, sternum, ribs and vertebrae are very tiny and numerous (millions would fit on a pin head) give blood its colour contains Haemoglobin which is responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to the cells and taking carbon dioxide from the cells to the lungs Haemoglobin carrying oxygen is bright red Haemoglobin carrying carbon dioxide is dark red White blood cells (leucocytes) Are made in the bone marrow, lymph nodes and spleen are colourless and not as numerous as red blood cells three times the size of red blood cells engulf and destroy foreign particles or harmful bacteria which get into tissue or blood
6 Platelets are made in bone marrow stick to each other easily are tiny fragments of large cells helps to clot blood so that dangerous bleeding cannot occur seal holes and tears in small blood vessels FUNCTIONS OF BLOOD Blood links all the tissues and organs of our body together. Blood has four main functions Transportation Carries nutrients from our digestive system to all body cells Takes oxygen from the lungs to working muscles Removes carbon dioxide from the body s cells and takes it to the lungs Removes waste products and excess water in our kidneys Takes hormones to where they are needed Protection Carries white cells to the sites of infection Carries antibodies to destroy germs Carries platelets to damaged areas to form clots Temperature regulation Carries heat away from working muscles to skin Carries heat away from the centre of the body to skin Maintains temperature within the body Maintains the body s equilibrium Reduces the effect of lactic acid produced in the working muscles Regulates fluid balance Enables hormones and enzymes to work
7 BLOOD PRESSURE Blood pressure is the force of the blood against the walls of the blood vessels. It is measured in the large artery found above the elbow. Blood Pressure is measured in two ways Systolic pressure is measured when the left ventricle of the heart contracts Diastolic pressure is measured when the left ventricle of the heart is relaxed Blood pressure is expressed as a fraction: Systolic pressure Diastolic pressure Average blood pressure is 120 (measurements are millimeters of mercury). 80 The normal range for a healthy adult is between 100 and In arteries blood pressure is high because the arteries are narrow and a lot of blood is being forced into them from the heart. Blood pressure in veins is low because they are wider and far away from the heart. Because the pressure in veins is low, valves are needed to prevent blood from flowing backward. Factors that affect Blood Pressure Age increases blood pressure because arteries become less elastic. Exercise increases blood pressure and returns to normal after exercise. Regular exercise helps to lower resting blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular disease. Stress cause hormones to be released into the blood which increases blood pressure. Smoking increases blood pressure because nicotine reduces the efficiency of the capillaries. Diet can increase blood pressure if fat and salt intake is too high. Fatty deposits block and harden the arteries. Over Weight puts extra pressure on the circulatory system and increases blood pressure. High Blood Pressure or Hypertension is caused by blockages in the smaller blood vessels, or arteries which mean that the heart has to work harder to force blood around the body. Arteries taking blood to the heart muscle can also become blocked. Sudden activity can cause a sharp pain (called angina) or even a heart attack.
8 EFFECTS OF EXERCISE ON THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM During Exercise Heart rate increases. When we start to exercise the hormone adrenaline is released into the bloodstream which causes the heart to beat faster Stroke volume increases. The heart contracts more forcefully which sends out a greater amount of blood with each contraction. Cardiac output increases. Blood circulation speeds up and greater amounts of oxygencarrying blood reach the working muscles. The forceful contractions of muscles forces more deoxygenated blood back to the heart more quickly. Blood flow is reduced in areas of the body not in urgent need of oxygen, e.g. the digestive system. Blood flow is increased to the areas of the body in greatest need of oxygen, e.g. skeletal muscles. Blood vessels to the skin areas become enlarged to allow excess heat from muscles and organs to be lost more easily from the skin. During very hard exercise blood vessels are reduced in size which will cause body temperature to raise very quickly and cause fatigue and overheating. Oxygen going to the muscles can be increased up to 3 times the resting amount. Blood flow can be increased up to 30 times which means that the working muscles can receive up to 90 times the amount of oxygen they receive at rest.
