Sajad Lone's dream to rule J&K shattered
9/10/2018 11:10:54 PM

Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 10: The dream of separatist turned mainstream politician Sajad Gani Lone to rule Jammu and Kashmir is almost shattered as the legislators of the Peoples Democratic Party who had offered him support seem to have turned their backs towards them.
The PDP rebel leader Javed Hussain Beigh, who had joined the group led by Imran Raza Ansari, on Monday attended the PDP meeting which was chaired by the party president Mehbooba Mufti in Srinagar.
Sources told Early Times that Sajad Lone, who has got only 2 MLAs in the 87 member Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly, had conveyed to Bharatiya Janata Party that he enjoys the support of more than 15 PDP rebels. "A notion had been created that Sajad Lone would be the next Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and BJP would support him," they added.
An insider revealed a few BJP leaders in Jammu were working overtime to see to it that BJP high command in New Delhi agrees to the proposal moved by Lone so that they could once again be in the power.
Sources said that top BJP leaders sitting in New Delhi after holding deliberations had rejected the idea of giving the Chief Minister's post to Lone. "The top BJP leaders were of the opinion that if the new dispensation is formed in Jammu and Kashmir then the Chief Minister should be from Jammu region. They had made explicitly clear to BJP's state unit that they should stop dreaming about the power till Lone and PDP rebels agree to the demand of having a Hindu Chief Minister at place," they added.
An insider revealed that senior BJP leader had assured Lone that he would be elevated to the top post if he succeeds in engineering a split within the PDP. "Lone and his friends had almost succeeded in splitting the PDP and had garnered the support of the rebels but his plan did not fall at place as many BJP leaders did not agree with the idea of handing over the reins of the state to a leader, who has recently joined the mainstream politics," the insider added.
A politician said that fall of the PDP-BJP government has brought the cracks within the PDP in public domain and it has been proven that the party has already split and the efforts of the PDP president Mehbooba Mufti to keep the party intact have not yielded any results. "One rebel attending the meeting doesn't mean that Mehbooba has regained the control. Rebel leaders seem to be just keeping their options open. But for time being Sajad Lone would have remain content as a MLA as Chief Minister's office is still very far away," the politician added.

Oliver Tickell has put together a very interesting + useful site called Green Electricity...

It offers green electricity links covering:

* Consumer tariffs
* Business / industrial tariffs
* Wind power
* Solar Photo Voltaics
* Biomass
* Domestic scale windpower
* Combined Heat + Power
* Carbon offset schemes
* Trade associations
* Media
* Government sites

There are plenty of innovative + exciting initiatives on this website and it is great to have a site that makes it so much easier for everyone to find out what they can do to minimise their environmental impact, without having to sacrifice too much of their time or effort...

Of all the sites mentioned I would draw your attention to Solar Century's work making buildings as energy efficient + productive as possible and the Combined Heat + Power Association website which explains how lower cost energy can be used to keep people warm + make factories more competitive while also reducing carbon dioxide emissions...

Well done Oliver!

UK gets serious about energy efficiency
The UK government is funding a campaign, called Action Energy, which makes the business case for greater energy efficiency...

Not only does wasting energy harm the environment, but saving energy can be very good for business, with a 20% reduction in waste potentially offering the same benefit as a 5% increase in sales!

In addition to offering advice on loans that are available to replace existing equipment with more energy efficient kit + surveys which can help companies to identify how to cut their energy use by 10-30% the site offers the following top tips which can be applied to any organisation:

* 'If you can't measure it, you can't manage it'.
Check regularly on your consumption of electricity, gas and oil, and check that your bills relate to what you actually use, rather than an estimate.

* Switch off lights in empty rooms
Turn off lights in empty rooms and corridors - especially at the end of the day. This can save up to 15% of your energy bill.

* Keep windows closed in cold weather
If staff are too warm, turn the heating down instead.

* Use just the light you need
Lights too bright in corridors? Remove or switch off alternate fittings.

* Use daylight
It's free - so keep windows and skylights clean and clear.

* Clean light fittings annually
Dirt reduces lighting efficiency, encouraging people to switch more lights on.

* Too hot?
Set the thermostat at 19° - costs rise by 8% for every 1° increase.

* Don't heat unused space
Storerooms, corridors and areas where there's heavy physical work can be set to lower temperatures. Reduce heating during holidays and weekends.

* Thermostats
Check that thermostats are sited out of draughts and away from either cold or hot spots.

* Keep radiators clear
Don't block radiators with furniture -it reduces efficiency and output.

* Consult your colleagues
Ask your colleagues where they think energy is being wasted, and for their ideas about saving energy.

The above advice does not require the invention of any hugely expensive, non-existent rocket science, it does however require something that human beings tend to find much harder to get excited about... changing entrenched, lazy + costly behaviours.

Earth-Info.Net certainly hopes that the free
helpline 0800 58 57 94 and the straight forward Action Energy website will make some of low-tech strategies + equipment that are available today much less painful to adopt and permanently undermine the feeble excuses we all tend to fall back on...

Businesses call for long-term climate change targets
The heads of twelve of the UK's biggest companies, including BP, Shell, HSBC Bank, BAA, John Lewis, Scottish Power have signed a joint letter asking the British government to make firm and consistent commitments to long-term action on climate change.

Between them these firms employ 10,000s of people and have a turnover of £452bn.

To date, few of the encouraging statements made about climate change by the UK government have been backed up by long-term, binding commitments.

The classic example of this short-coming is the Energy White Paper. This policy document committed the government to ensuring that 10% of the UK's energy came from renewable sources by 2010.

Unfortunately, the white paper included only non-binding aspirations for 20% of energy to come from renewables by 2020 and for greenhouse gas emissions to be cut by 60% by 2050.

Businesses, such as those in the energy sector, which plan and invest many years ahead have so far refused to spend money on expensive new technologies and infrastructure until they know for certain that future governments will continue to support their investments.

However, the International Energy Agency has estimated that in order to meeting growing demand the world will spend $16,000,000,000 on energy infrastructure over the next 25 years... and there is clearly money to be made by companies which position their businesses in the right way, and do as much as possible to reduce their exposure to risk.

The authors of this letter therefore offer to work with the government to produce the long-term policies needed for British businesses to shift to low carbon technologies and develop the new industries necessary to meet the government's target of reducing CO2 emissions by 60% by 2050.

At present the government doesn't want to make long-term spending commitments or to become unpopular with voters, by increasing energy bills (if only slightly), and businesses aren't prepared to take unnecessary or unprofitable actions, even when they know it's in everyone's long-term interests to minimise the effects of human-induced climate change...

It is to be hoped that this Catch 22 deadlock can be broken, and Earth Info welcomes this letter is a positive step in the right direction.

You'll see the large brown sign pointing the direction to a little piece of Alum Rock history...the boyhood home of one of the most influential American civil rights leaders of the 1960's and 70's: Cesar E. Chavez.
Chavez's brother, Librado, joined San Jose City Councilmember Nora Campos and children from nearby Cesar Chavez Elementary School, Adelante Academy and McCollam Elementary to unveil the prominent sign directing visitors to the Chavez home. The new sign is located on the corner of Sharff Avenue and E. San Antonio Street.The festive occasion was highlighted by the students, who read their award-winning poems about Chavez and farmworkers. "It's very fitting that the children are here, because education is the key to success," said Campos. Librado added that although his brother never finished school, "education was always very important to Cesar."Cesar Chavez was born in Yuma, Arizona and lived there until his family lost their home when he was ten. The family then moved to California and migrated around the state following the seasons and picking crops. The family finally moved to San Jose and settled into the small home on Sharff Avenue when Chavez was in the 8th grade. After serving in the US Navy, Chavez moved back to San Jose, married Helen, his teenage sweetheart and became active as a political organizer in the neighborhood off Alum Rock Avenue, then known as "Sal Si Puedes" (get out if you can) because the streets in that section of 1950's East San Jose were not paved. Chavez joined others committed to improving the area in the Community Services Organization, and later he branched off forming farm labor unions, including the United Farm Workers (UFW). His work led to numerous improvements in wages and working conditions for farmworkers. Chavez died on April 23, 1993. His birthday on March 31st, has become a holiday in four U.S. states including California, and many parks, cultural centers, libraries, schools, and streets have been named in his honor in several cities across the United States.
The Chavez family home has been designated as a San Jose Historical Landmark, one of few on the East Side.

Six of Alum Rock Union Elementary School District's schools showed "significant improvement" on their revised Academic Performance Index (API) test scores, according to school district officials.
Statewide results were published Tuesday by the California Department of Education.
Based on an in-depth analysis of the revised API scores, the data shows Linda Vista Elementary increased 16 points from 726 to 742; Rogers Elementary grew 7 points from 679 to 686; Shields increased 6 points from 645 to 651; Painter Elementary moved up 2 points from 761 to 763; and Cureton Elementary and Slonaker Academy both increased by 1 point from 702 to 703 and 666 to 667 respectively.
"These improvements are the result of a uniform focus on the state content standards, on research-based best practices of teaching and learning, and data-driven accountability," said Alum Rock Superintendent Norma Martinez in a district press release.
Alum Rock also met all of its Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) indicators in 2006.
The API measures school and district growth based on a scale ranging from 200 to 1000 points.
Unfortunately, no Alum Rock schools met the state's target of 800 points.

Cpl. Ivan Hernandez needs an hour of physical therapy everyday to help rebuild his strength following injuries suffered during combat in Iraq. CBS 5 Cameraman Joe Rojas gets the shot on video.
Marine Corporal Ivan Hernandez survived two tours of duty in Iraq, three IED explosions and came home to Alum Rock on Friday with two Purple Hearts for injuries suffered in combat.
"I can't even put a sock on because I can't reach down there," Hernandez told me during an interview which aired on CBS 5 tonight, the fourth anniversary of the Iraq war.
Hernandez,22, was severely injured in a suicide bomb attack in Barwana, Iraq on February 7th. Two Marines, one Iraqi interpreter and two Iraqi policemen were killed in the attack, which happened at a security checkpoint when an insurgent with explosives under his clothing walked up to the crowded area and blew himself up. "I heard the explosion, and I fell to the ground," Hernandez explained in a quiet voice. "I tried to get up, but I couldn't."
The blast left Hernandez with shrapnel wounds on his left shoulder, hand, knee and ankle. Metal debris tore through nerves making it difficult and painful for him to walk, even with crutches. After treatment in Iraq and Germany, Hernandez was transported to the Veterans Administration Hospital in Palo Alto, where he has been undergoing physical therapy.
"It's hard to see myself, not being able to do things," Hernandez said during one of his workouts.
Hernandez has made progress during the past month, and was discharged from the VA last week. He also passed a special driving test given to injured Iraq veterans by the VA to clear them to get behind the wheel again. Hernandez left the hospital with his wife Desiree and their 3 year old daughter Destiny at his side. The couple met when they were both 16 and working part-time at Great America. He is a graduate of Yerba Buena High School, and Desiree graduated from James Lick. The young family lives near Capitol and Alum Rock. "You hear about soldiers who get injured everyday, but you never hear about all the recovery they have to go through. That was really overwhelming," Mrs. Hernandez said.
Many more months of rehab await Corporal Hernandez, who credited his wife and his mother, Maria. "I don't know what I would have done without them," he said. Maria Hernandez told me in Spanish that she prays for her son's recovery, and for peace.

The Santa Clara County FireSafe Council has released the first Public Draft of a Community Wildfire Protection Plan for the East Foothills area east of San Jose for comments. Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs) are the new standard for evaluating a community’s risk from wildfires. CWPPs not only set forth a detailed plan for ongoing wildfire prevention maintenance in a specific area, but also provide other important benefits to the community.
These Benefits to the Community include:
Higher priority for Federal grant dollars for fuel reduction projects
Quicker turnaround for environmental permits or navigating compliance issues
Communities can organize projects to reduce fire prone fuels without Federal funding
Identification of appropriate Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) boundaries with community input
The East Foothills CWPP was developed by SCFSC and Dudek, a wildfire prevention planning company, with assistance from the San Jose Fire Department, CDF (now CAL FIRE), and many other stakeholders and residents. It is the first CWPP completed in Santa Clara County. The San Jose Fire Department Wildland Officer, Fire Captain José Guerrero, has been involved in the planning process from the beginning. Captain Guerrero states, “We’re very excited about this project. It’s a great example of how the public and private sectors can take steps to reduce the risk of wildfires in the foothills of San Jose.”

As a cancer survivor, KRON-4 TV's Ysabel Duron knows the importance of early cancer detection. That's why her latest non-profit venture, Latinas Contra Cancer is launching a Cervical Health Initiative in February 2007. They plan 4 Mother/Daughter rallies in Santa Clara County high schools to educate Latinas about the HPV virus and cervical cancer. James Lick High School will host a rally on March 15th.
The mission of LCC is to save lives through education, access and early detection. 2 times as many Latinas get cervical cancer as the mainstream population.
The campaign is targeting 1000 low-income, Spanish-speaking mothers and their daughters who often lack awareness, and face income, cultural and social barriers to education and health care. LCC trained 16 teen peer educators to help lead their unique bi-lingual educational game, Cervical Health Bingo, at the rallies.
The bingo serves as an icebreaker, works to dispel myth and misinformation, and opens up taboo conversation about this deadly disease. The human papilloma virus is the source of cervical cancer and is a sexually transmitted disease. The teens and their mothers will learn this is not about sex but about health and a life saving vaccine. At the beginning of the campaign, one of the girls took the invitation home to her father; her mother is in Iraq. He listened and learned and took her to get the vaccine. That’s one less LCC has to worry about.
LCC has invited the public health department, and clinics to provide as many low cost screenings, pap smears and the HPV vaccine as possible.
If this unique educational event and the CHB tool works as effectively as expected, LCC plans to make the program available to other Latino health care providers to launch in their communities.
The first rally was held February 8th at Gilroy High School and 102 mothers and daughters attended. 14 girls or 30% of attendees signed up for the new HPV vaccine. The three other schools are Latino College Prep Academy at NHU, James Lick High School and Downtown College Prep.
The Cervical Health Initiative is the primary education campaign leading up to LCC’s
2007 Mother’s Day Walk Against Cancer, May 13th, in downtown San Jose, which will turn the spotlight on cervical and breast cancer.

"You had to be there!"

Words and photo by Judy Thompson

It wasn’t hosannas rising in the sanctuary of Foothill Presbyterian Church last Friday afternoon, but the atmosphere rang with music and youthful exuberance as the student musicians of four local schools strutted their stuff for the community.

With the cooperation of the church and its music director, Jay Jordana, the music department of James Lick High School hosted the second annual Alum Rock Music Festival to showcase the accomplishments and musicality of our own youngsters. Last year’s event was held in the Rotunda of the new City Hall downtown. The rotunda was a novel performance venue for the young Eastsiders, but the reverberating acoustics (and lack of seating) left much to be desired. Foothill Presbyterian, on the other hand, seems a natural - considering its proximity, warm ambiance, comfortable seating and pleasant openness for musical “sharing.”

Lick’s vibrant young music director, Tomoko Nakajima, invited the advanced bands of Joseph George, Ocala and Pala Middle Schools to perform on a program which included the JLHS wind ensemble and choir. Pala Middle School presented a bonus performance from their fledgling vocal ensemble – an earnest group of a dozen or so young singers which meets with director Ted Henderson three days per week simply for the joy of singing – no credits earned. Mr. Henderson said that last year’s performance by the Lick choir inspired his students to raise their voices in song, as well.

It was not exactly a competition, but the students representing the four schools enthusiastically and loyally rallied at each mention of their school. Lick principal Bill Rice, District 5 Councilmember Nora Campos, and Lick alumna Darcie Green (who now works in the office of California Assembly member, Joe Coto) all addressed the assembled students and community members. There were two clear messages: the first one thanked parents and the community for supporting music programs and young musicians in our area and urged them to please continue the interest. The other message beamed passionately at the middle schoolers especially by Ms. Nakajima was to set their sights on James Lick High School to continue with their music education when they matriculate to high school. The Lick band and choir program could easily accommodate many more students in Ms. Nakajima’s capable and loving musical embrace.

The music performed ranged from classic arrangements for band to exotic imaginary trips to other cultures and earlier eras. At one point, Ms. Nakajima even had the whole room singing along about “Livin’ and Lovin’”!
The finale was a performance of the Lick High School Fight Song played and sung by the formally dressed JLHS band and choir with community members joining in.

When the performances and applause were just echoes in the sunny sanctuary, the students and community members regrouped in Foothill’s community room for refreshments. Cakes of many flavors and descriptions disappeared quickly as the teenagers (and not-so-teenagers) dug in. Newly minted ARUESD board trustee, Patricia Potter, could be seen deftly wielding a spatula serving up carrot cake squares.

Next year – surely there will be many more such annual celebrations – plan to join in this musical love feast. What more could our community desire than a great afternoon of free performances, plentiful cake and a huge dose of youthful energy? The latter rubs off on us older folks, you know.

walk of shame

The walk of shame
Sin on one shoulder
Maybe on the other
Karma redemption
Going to get throat punched
Sometime soon
Deeds paid forward
A world on fire
Let it burn
All the good times
With minimal regrets
Not voiced not heard
In the morning
in the summer time
cause its good
to have that feel-good hook
hello morning
I am surprised too
Didn’t think I would see you
Last night is not done yet
On the walk of shame
A voice asks
are you lost
are you missing those
all the good time girls
you look somber
have you been bad
all asked with that smile
just putting on some miles
not going to look back
some roads are worth doing again
some are just a diversion
looks like bad road ahead
sin on one shoulder
hope on the other
on the walk of shame

East Hampton Officials And Community React To Racist Fliers Found In Community

The East Hampton Town Anti-Bias Task Force had harsh words on Monday after fliers advertising white supremacy groups were found around East Hampton in recent weeks.

“Those that have the time and inclination for spreading such nonsense would be better served by a close examination of what it means to create a free and prosperous community,” read a statement issued on behalf of the task force on Monday.

“Dividing a society is counterproductive. America was and is built on immigration,” it said. “We are grateful for the leaders of our community who rise above division.”

East Hampton Town Police and local officials have been receiving reports of fliers advertising the Ku Klux Klan and a white supremacist group named White New York being left at various spots in the last two weeks.

According to Town Police Captain Chris Anderson, police received a call on November 19 reporting a flier directing people to the website for White New York, which was left at the foot of a driveway to a residence on Cranberry Lane in Amagansett.

While Captain Anderson said there was nothing that could be done as far as an arrest, he did say that residents should contact local authorities if they are concerned about the content of messages they find. “We certainly like to keep our fingers on the pulse of what is going on in the community,” he said.

Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo stated in an email that the police had received another call about White New York fliers found in the driveways of residences in Montauk in the last two weeks, and a flier advertising the KKK was found on the seat of a Long Island Rail Road train in Amagansett on Monday, November 21.

“There are protections of free speech under the law that allow for this type of thing, no matter how distasteful or upsetting they may be,” Chief Sarlo said in an email. “The public has every right to report them, and we encourage them to report, as, hopefully, bringing awareness to how unwanted that type of literature is in our community, we can continue to discourage those that wish to spread intolerance.”

Two members of the town’s Anti-Bias Task Force, Larry Smith and Louise Bergerson, attended Monday night’s meeting of the Springs Citizens Advisory Committee to make the community aware that the task force is available for residents with concerns. The task force had issued a statement in August to remind the community of its work at a time when “hate rhetoric … appeared to be on the rise nationally.”

In an interview after the meeting, Mr. Smith said that the task force is aware of instances of hateful rhetoric found not only locally but also on a national level. He went on to say that the task force and the Town Police have a strong working relationship and emphasized that any issue of bias or bigotry will not be ignored.

“What we want to do is prepare the community for a climate which is zero tolerance of bigotry and statements of bigotry,” Mr. Smith said.

East Hampton Town Supervisor Larry Cantwell said he had received email copies of both fliers and advised citizens to alert town police officers if they have concerns.

“There is no room in our community for the hate, violence, discrimination and prejudice represented by white supremacists and the Ku Klux Klan or of any kind,” the supervisor said.

How to alleviate traffic in congested areas

Traffic is, unfortunately, a necessity of everyday life. Whether you’re listening to radio DJs drone on while you’re stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on the highway, or trying to find a seat on a crowded bus, it affects a large portion of us.

The reality is that traffic problems may never be solved in metropolitan areas. This is due to high-density business districts and employees travelling from outside areas. Companies all utilising the same working hours and population growth adds to traffic congestion.

There are, however, a few ways to alleviate traffic in congested areas. Even if these ideas are only bandaids and not surgery, they can at least help commuters get to work and cut down on travel time.

Dedicated carpool and bus lanes

Though this is not a solution that can be implemented everywhere in the world due to space and urban planning, some cities have dedicated lanes for buses and cars. During select times, usually peak traffic hours, only cars with two or more occupants or public transport vehicles may utilise these dedicated lanes, bypassing those congested with single-occupant cars.

The system isn’t perfect. As mentioned earlier, a large amount of space is required on a highway to dedicate an entire lane. Bus routes also need to positively affect commuters, going to and from high-density areas.

An alternative is implementing a car-sharing service for employees. The company can purchase a few pre-owned cars in Gauteng, Cape Town, or Durban, and have staff create lift cubs, while the company pays for petrol.

Work from home initiatives

The dream is to work from home, to roll out of bed in the morning, make a cup of coffee, and sit on the couch while pouring over spreadsheets and emails. Though many companies want to keep an eagle eye on their employees, making sure they’re at work at specific times, working from home is a benefit to all.

It has been shown that those who work from home, even a few days a week, have a higher productivity rate than the average office worker. This also plays into alleviating congestion on the roads, and minimising the creation of CO2 gasses, which benefits the environment.

Of course, it won’t be an easy thing to implement, especially if staff are required to clock in and out nd need a stable internet connection for their work. Cities would need to offer incentives to those companies who allow their staff to work from home and not have to travel each and every day.

Using bicycles

This two-wheel mode of transportation has been around for a long time. With the popular rise in cycling and keeping fit, more consumers are adopting it as their preferred method of exercise. It’s also an ideal way to get around, such as going to the shops or out to visit someone.

There are a few cities that have started encouraging its commuters to cycle to work. Though not everyone is able to achieve this over long distances, it does go a way in reducing the amount of traffic on the roads, as well as gas emissions. The downside is you may end up with a lot of sweaty employees milling around the office and downing energy drinks on a daily basis.

Working infrastructures

A common cause of traffic problems, besides the increase in vehicles on the road, are systems that don’t accommodate peak hour traffic. For example, traffic lights that give priority to one section of road, or work on an unbalanced time, cause backups for other commuters.

This can be said for heavy vehicles which have to slow down on hills, are more dangerous when they break down, and take longer to drive the same distance as a car.

Better city planning, as well as spreading out commercial hubs to more accessible areas, would go a long way to help those who have to commute everyday.
There are other ways to help with traffic congestions, such as railway systems, though these are at least easier as opposed to entire infrastructure overhauls.

Price support

What is a price support

Price support is where the government agrees to purchase all output for a specified price. For example, the government agreeing to purchase all milk for $1 per litre would be an example of a price support.

Price support in a diagram

If there was no price support, the market where produce output which corresponds to price PE and quantity QE . (If PE and QE are confusing, imagine that PE is $4 and QE equals 20). Now suppose that the government sets the minimum price as Ps (imagine that it's now $5). This would cause supplier to wish to increase their output to QS (imagine it's 25). However, because the price has increased demand decreases so the amount demanded is now only PE  (you can imagine it is 15 units).

Because the quantity demand is not the same as the quantity supplied, the government must purchase the surplus. The surplus amount is equal to QS -  QD and the cost of purchasing is equal to Ps  * (Qs - QD) or the area shaded in blue.

This area is also the dead-weight loss. This is because this amount of money is being spent on purchasing the good but it will not be used for anything.

Price support v Price floor

As you may have noticed, a price support is very similar to a price floor. However, there are some differences between the policies.

  1. The quantity that is sold under a price support are higher than a price floor. If the government only set a price floor, the quantity produced would be QD instead of Qs .
  2. The dead weight loss is higher for a price support than price floor. In the above example, the entire area blue is the dead weight loss. However, the dead weight loss for a price floor is only the area shaded green on the example below. For a better understanding of price floor, see here
  3.  Price supports are guaranteed to increase the welfare of the supplier, whereas price floors do not necessarily increase the produce surplus. It is possible that the area shaded green could be so large that C and B are smaller than B in the original situation. That is not possible for a price support because the government purchases all output at the specified price. The diagram below shows the supplier surplus when there is a price support. The supplier surplus is the entire area labelled in red.

True Opportunities for the SEO Tasks Now

Briefly, Search Engine Optimization is one of the most powerful ways to promote your website and your business. It’s not only a cheaper way to promote than the classic ones (CPC and CPM campaigns), but it’s also very effective.

What is the role of optimization for search engines?

Web optimization has the primary purpose of attracting as many visitors as possible and converting them into customers. The conversion rate of visitors arriving on your site after a search in the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN, Teoma, Altavista, HotBot, WiseNut, etc.) is much higher than the conversion rate of users coming from CPC and CPM campaigns. As a bracket, these promotional campaigns are effective only when trying to promote a brand name. LinkHelpers SEO Phoenix is the best option there.

Therefore, as a result of web optimization, a particular page of a site will be “found” in the search engines after a few phrases called keywords or keyphrases. These are the target words for optimizing a site / page. Generally, each page should be optimized for 1-3 keywords orkeyphrases.

What does search engine optimization mean?

The web optimization process may involve radical changes in the structure and content of your website. Most of the time, web optimization is done alongside site development, because every aspect of the website and every stage of its realization is great of importance and closely related to the optimization process.

For example, in the case of optimizing a website, the navigation structure, the links between the pages must follow some rules that you may have ignored when making the site. For optimization, these site elements will be changed to meet the standards. The necessary changes can be avoided if, prior to implementing your site, you are looking for an SEO consultant who can tell you the best way to organize your site, depending on its specificity and requirements.

Web optimization also involves processing the information displayed (a process called web copy writing) that aims to increase the relevancy of a page’s text relative to the keywords it optimizes for.

How long does the web optimization process take for a site?

The time a web site reaches the desired optimization results depends on many factors. Firstly, how optimized is the niche website that includes the words for which you want to optimize your page.

On the other hand, there are keywords that return between a few hundred thousand and a few hundred million results. Optimization for these words is already a process that can last from 3 months to 18 months or more.

Bright, beautiful & psychedelic

Bursting from the Nordic darkness with bright, elaborate drawings depicting moments of action, Annu Kilpelainen is a master of colour. Think sophisticated ‘colour by number’, Annu uses the flatness of the humble posca pen to her advantage. Pulling you into a dreamland of screenshot-esque pictures, Annu forms a view of the world which is overtly dazzling and kaleidoscopic.

Working entirely from her head her influences span obscure documentaries, Japanese art and of course Tove Jansson. Much like the flow of a movie, Annu takes us across a dreamy colour world of shape, pattern, cars and glimpses of human contact. This, combined with a vibrant, almost psychedelic palette feeds the viewer with  an extraordinary visual feast.

I always start with doodles or sketches then play with colour. After that I just work intuitively

Guitar Teacher
Spread the love

Every art has its individual glories and points of pride, but few things bring the world together quite like music. A love of music truly is as universal as it gets. No matter who you are or where you come from, chances are you have a taste in music which is not only shaped by your region, but likely shared by many millions across the world.

Few instruments are more truly universal than the guitar. From its long history in Spain to its spread throughout the rest of the world, the guitar has been on the rise for centuries. From George Harrison to Jimi Hendrix to Carlos Santana, the number of great guitarists in everything from rock and roll to folk music to salsa, jazz, classical, and so on have inspired countless millions more to pick up a pick and start playing!

Here is what you can expect from the best guitar classes in Singapore:

The Importance of Memorisation

Learning music really is like learning a whole new language. In one respect, that’s great. It can even help get you into college, as universities look at extracurriculars like musical knowledge as part of admission.

That said, as with learning any new language, memorisation is key. It is absolutely essential that the core concepts of music in general and guitar playing in particular become second nature to you before you can even think about strumming out some of the latest or greatest hits. That’s why the best guitar classes stress memorisation and help students memorise music as well as guitar techniques with fun, helpful exercises.

Teaching Various Genres and Forms

One of the great testaments to the versatility of the guitar has been its adaptability. That’s why the best guitar teachers can teach a variety of different forms and genres, from the purest acoustic models to the most blaringly electric guitar, from folk music to metal and everything in between.

Enthusiasm and Experience

One of the main reasons people stop learning a language is boredom, and the same applies to music. The learning process can be hard at times, and having a teacher who knows how to make it fun is invaluable. That’s why the best guitar classes feature teachers who know how to do just that. From innovative exercises to techniques for playing songs to an unbridled enthusiasm and pure passion for their craft and calling, these teachers know how to play and are ready to share their gift with students.

Of course, that type of craftsmanship takes time to learn. The best guitar classes feature teachers with years of experience, ensuring you or your child receives training from an expert.

Find out more about guitar classes in Singapore and begin your path to playing like a pro today!

Offering Eastern and Western style  massage and bodywork practices for a truly healing experience.

"To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear."

- Siddhartha Guatama, the Buddha

Eastern Style Massage Therapy

Shiatsu is recommended for clients looking for a full body massage which will relax, rejuvenate, and relieve pain.
The form of Shiatsu Emma practices, Kata Shiatsu, is performed on a traditional massage table. No oil is used with this type of massage and the client wears comfortable clothing throughout the session.

Shiatsu sessions are 90-120 minutes.
Due to the nature of the work, clients must weigh no more than 200 pounds to receive Shiatsu from me.

Shiatsu is a dynamic full body massage performed with the intent to facilitate the flow of chi, or energy, in the body. It is a form of Japanese bodywork based on traditional Chinese medicine theories which have a strong holistic emphasis.  In addition to all the components of the body accepted in Western anatomy, Traditional Chinese Medicince maps out 14 primary energetic channels and hundreds of key points along these channels. While acupuncture involves placing needles in these channels and key points, Shiatsu uses acupressure, massage, and facilitated stretching techniques to create an enjoyable and therapeutic massage experience. By pressing the channels, stimulating key points, and mobilizing the joints and tissues, clients experience a very complete and thorough feeling massage. Clients typically feel peaceful, grounded, and energized at the end of a session.

A massage from Emma is always a boon to my overall health. Now that she has added Shiatsu massage to her repertoire it's a whole new level of long-term benefits! My mind and body felt so good after my first Shiatsu massage and the second one was even more extensive. I have felt great for weeks; before Emma I didn't know I could even experience a day pain free. I greatly appreciate her dedication to continuing her education and caring so much.
Claudia, Stay-at-Home Mom
Western Style Massage Therapy

Western style massage is recommeded for clients wanting to focus on a particular disfuntion or problem area(s). These sessions incorporate Myofascial Release Therapy and Neuromuscular Therapy techniques, tied together with the soothing strokes of Swedish Relaxation Massage and are performed with clothing removed, while the client remains appropriately draped under a sheet and blanket at all times.

These sessions range from 30-120 minutes.

Myofascial Release Therapy

The word 'Myofascial' refers to muscle (myo) plus the network of connective tissue that runs all through our bodies (fascia). Fascia is a continuous web which surrounds and attaches to our muscles, bones, and organs.  It gives our muscles their shape and supports them, thus it is what ultimately determines the length and function of our muscles.

Ideally, fascia is well hydrated and flexible which keeps our movements unrestricted and balanced. When we are stressed it becomes rigid, dehydrated, fibrotic, and constrained.  Fascia is chock-full of nerve-endings which means it produces pain when it becomes restricted.  Myofascial pain could be experienced as deep and aching, sharp and stabbing, burning; or it could manifest as weakness or stiffness in certain areas, or difficulty sleeping through the night.

Myofascial Release Therapy is performed without the use of oil and is therefore often used at the beginning of a session, follwed by oil based techniques. Rather than sliding across the skin, the point is to deeply engage the tissues with pressure from the practitioners hands and bodyweight and let myofascial tissues release themselves under the slow and sustained pressure. Most clients experience deep relief from this wonderful technique.

Neuromuscular Therapy

You might think of Neuromuscular Therapy as 'deep tissue' massage. The intention is to locate hyperirratable trigger points, often referred to as muscle knots, and apply an appropriate amount of sustained pressure, as well as multi-directional friction, to cause trigger points to release, and adhesions to be broken up so muscle tissue fibers can realign. This reduces soft tissue pain and excessive nerve stimulation, and restores local tissue circulation and muscle range of motion.

It is important that together with your practioner you find an appropriate amount of pressure that will prove to be beneficial. Too little pressure and not much will be accomplished, too much and it will only cause more pain and stress rather than allow the tissue to release.

"Emma is a genius! I have quite a few ‘problem areas’ from running, climbing, fieldwork and –unfortunately– general stress and sitting at a computer far too much. Luckily, Emma always sorts me out. I once had terrible back and shoulder pains for months, but half an hour of some very specific work on some muscles I didn't even know I had solved the problem for several months! She has such a loving touch and wholesome energy, which is evident in her practice and leaves you feeling happy and rejuvenated."
Rosa, Research Scientist
"I have found Emma to be incredibly responsive to my needs, whether I just want to relax or I have an injury or chronic pain that I want to help heal. She focuses on problem areas with loving care and dedication; her skill at myofascial release (something I knew nothing about until my first massage with her) is amazing! She works on the muscles, skin, and the many layers of tissue in between, which are apparently called fascia and require TLC to stay healthy just as muscles do. In just a few sessions with Emma, I am learning so much about the human body and how to take care of mine. She is amazing - hands down, the best massage I’ve ever received!”

What a difference a day makes! Yesterday the waves were high but we could play in the ocean and walk on the beach. This morning is a different story. The waves are huge and there will be no swimming in the ocean today. I am sitting outside watching the sun rise and listening to the roar of the waves. What a magnificant view!

Isaiah 51:15 For I am the LORD your God, who churns up the sea so that its waves roar-- the LORD Almighty is his name

About The Swing Set with Alex Cook

Alex Cook

America is having a renewed love affair with the 1960s. From hit television shows to fashion, the swinging days of The Rat Pack are back, and as big as ever.

From its home base of Washington, DC, The Swing Set with Alex Cook has captured the sexy sound of the ‘60s. The nine-piece jazz big band’s music is, in a word, cool – like a nightclub show at the Sands, a ‘66 Mustang convertible, a breeze on a hot city night, or a vodka martini at your own private table.

The Swing Set with Alex Cook is the inspiration of actor and singer Alex Zavistovich, a musician-turned-actor-turned-musician who has performed on TV, film and stage. Bringing the concept to life was a collaboration with two of DC’s fastest rising and most respected jazz musicians. Music Director Brad Linde and Arranger Amy Bormet of the Bohemian Caverns Jazz Orchestra provide the creative backbone for The Swing Set with Alex Cook’s authentic 1960s sound.

The band of musicians assembled by Linde gave arranger Bormet the chance for some adventurous and playful writing. Says Bormet, a jazz pianist and graduate of the prestigious Howard University music program, “One of my favorites from the first recording was George Michael’s “Faith” as a Second Line (New Orleans Style) groove. The improvisation from (trumpet player) Brad Clements and (trombone player) Jen Krupa was stylistically dead on, transforming the song into a truly convincing arrangement.”

“This isn’t an ironic wink or a hipster nod to the music of those days; we’re strictly legit,” says Zavistovich, who sings under his Screen Actors Guild name of Cook. “We approach our song selection the same way performers of the time did – we find the swing groove in classic songs as well as the pop music of the day. We haven’t arranged any show tunes yet, but that’s on the horizon, too.”

It’s all in the game for the founders of The Swing Set with Alex Cook, who note that the band name itself is an indication of their approach to the music.

“This isn’t a band backing up a vocalist; it’s a band with a singer,” says Zavistovich. “The Swing Set captures the same group feel as The Rat Pack, while staying fresh on its own. The interplay among the musicians, and the freewheeling style on stage, are all part of what made music in the 1960 so much fun. It wouldn’t make sense to do it any other way.”

Break out your tux and your little black dress. There’s a new Swing Set on the playground, and you’re in for one cool, cool ride.

Wedding Day

May 17th 2008 was an important day for our family as Jared our eldest son married his sweetheart of 5 years, Sarah. The day was cool and cloudy but fortunately not too wet as they were married on the boardwalk at the giraffe enclosure at Monarto Zoo.
The wedding ceremony was followed by the reception at The Waterhole function centre which has been built recently at the Zoo.
We are obviously proud of them both and wish them every happiness for their lives together.
David and Lesley Pound
