Freedom: Iran-Contra and the Criminalization of the Separation of Powers
So much has been written about Iran-Contra, it is hard to justify even a single word more. Ronald Reagan viewed the support of the contras, whom he called the Nicaraguan Freedom Fighters, as important to the nation's security in this hemisphere. It is fair to say that many Americans viewed neither the contras, nor their Soviet and Cuban-backed antagonists, the Sandinistas, as a matter for serious concern. At heart, Americans are isolationist, not imperial. We expect others around the world to treat us in the same "hands off" manner. Live and let live.
This "live and let live" credo was challenged, however, in an odd confluence of ways in the 1980s. First, American hostages were taken in Iran in late 1979 in the last year of the Carter presidency. After a prolonged period, these hostages were released, but more were taken in seven separate incidents in 1984 and 1985. One of those taken, and later killed, was William Buckley, CIA station chief in Beirut. Americans respond when provoked, but this type of terrorist provocation was difficult to grapple with. No national soil or interest could be identified and reclaimed. The whereabouts of the hostages was unknown, and even the aggressors were shadowy, distant figures. While it was generally thought that the Americans were being held by a Shiite terrorist group, the Hezbollah, no one really fully knew what they wanted. Like random violence on the streets of Washington, D.C., few foreign policy experts, let alone the average American, could understand the deep instability in Iran. For the previous quarter century, until the death of the Shah, Iran had been the steadfast ally of the United States.
Because of its geographic position in the Middle East, American military analysts stressed the strategic importance of Iran. Suspicious that

Princess' new FlightChoice Program is, at the very least, a step in the right direction though that's about it. The program allows passengers who buy their airline tickets through the cruise line so-called "innovative" options to customize their flights. Specifically, passengers will now get details on their flights -- airlines, connections, times -- approximately two months prior to their departure date. Most cruise lines give passengers 30 days notice.
In a news release last week, Princess patted itself on the back for "giving our passengers advance notice of their flight schedules...." But we've long found it odd that passengers who book their air through cruise lines pay a premium for the "service" and often are rights-free when it comes to choosing the airline, the dates, the connections. And, that premium guarantees nothing; if a connection is missed on flights the cruise line booked -- and you are late for embarkation -- you could still arrive at the port to find the ship has sailed.
The airfare add-on itself isn't such a hot deal. We priced out two trips. For a Vancouver to Seward cruise on Sun Princess, Princess quoted us a per person fare of $734 from Memphis, which doesn't include another $73 for transfers; using Internet airline ticket agency Lowestfare.com we nabbed a $535 fare. The difference is just as startling for less complicated air arrangements -- Princess quoted us $467 for a Chicago to Ft. Lauderdale roundtrip while Lowest Fare beat that with $195.
On top of Princess' air-add-on fare, you'll pay a $35 service fee for the FlightChoice option (and more if Princess is charged a higher air price for your desired airline or you choose to upgrade to business or first class).
Which leads to a relatively logical question: Why would you pay not only a higher fare but the FlightChoice $35 service fee -- for the same kind of arrangements you can make on your own in a couple of minutes?

"CAMPINAS, A SHORT 90 KM FROM SÃO PAULO DISTANCE" Top 5 Page for this destination Campinas by schurlif
Campinas Travel Guide: 29 reviews and 75 photos
Campinas is the second largest city in the State of São Paulo with about 1.5 million inhabitants about 90 km north of São Paulo city right in the tropics…. I'm sorry but I can't recall the names of the street or the cathedral but this place is easy to find, the central cathedral of Campinas, which is situated in the most commercial area of Campinas' center.
Even though because of its geographical size and inhabitants Campinas must be considered a major metropolitan center, the city itself is rather dormant, slow, a little backward and hilly billy…. Which is not really something bad… but it definitely is not a destination for foreign tourists. People here make big eyes and get really curious when they hear me speaking fluent Portuguese but with an Arnold Schwarzenegger type of accent. What makes Campinas and every other city in the "interior" (= all the "inside" of the State excluding São Paulo and an about 40km wide strip along Brasils coastline ) different from the states capital is that it is friendlier, cheaper, calmer, safer, greener and healthier to live in…..
It took me 20 years to realize this until I made the right move…. 80 km from São Paulo means only 1 hour by car to the big city ( 10 minutes to Campinas ) but not having to stay there all the time….. Living in the "interior" is uncomparable to the São Paulo madness and chaos…… Even though I live in an almost rural and very quiet and green area, I have cinemas, shopping malls and fine restaurants in Campinas at 10-15 minutes drive away....
- Pros:infrastructure, cheap, easy going, friendly
- Cons:nothing really except the big city crap but in milder version
- In a nutshell:the next best thing to São Paulos mega-everything if you want to live in SP state

The Federal Trade Commission has reached a settlement with four of the defendants in an allegedly phony debt relief services operation that claimed that, for $995, it would dramatically reduce consumers' credit card interest rates. Under the settlement, reached as part of the FTC's continuing efforts against frauds that target financially strapped consumers, the defendants will be banned from robocalling consumers and from selling debt relief services. The operation, based in Canada and New York, used telemarketing boiler rooms in Orlando, Florida, to defraud consumers. Although the defendants operated under several different names, they often used "AFL Financial Services," or variations of the name "AFL."
According to the FTC's complaint, F&F Payment Processing Inc., Bajada Management Group Inc., Baird B. Fisher, Jacqueline M. Fisher, and others used illegal robocalls and falsely promised refunds to consumers if they did not save at least $2,500 as a result of lowered credit card interest rates. Based on records obtained by the FTC, the operation took in over $13 million from more than 13,000 consumers. When the case was filed, the court halted the operation and froze the defendants' assets pending a trial.
As alleged in the complaint, the defendants claimed they would negotiate lower credit card interest rates. At most, the defendants sometimes telephoned credit card issuers and attempted to conduct three-way calls among the credit card company, the consumer, and one of the defendants' so-called financial representatives. Often the defendants did not make these calls at all. When they did, the calls were unsuccessful. Some credit card issuers refused to participate in the calls as a matter of policy. Instead of a reduction in interest rates, consumers, who were already in dire financial straits, found themselves saddled with an additional $995 credit card charge.
In addition to banning the defendants from delivering prerecorded messages and selling debt relief services, the proposed settlement order permanently prohibits the companies and their owners from:
In addition, the settlement prohibits the defendants from selling or otherwise benefitting from customers' personal information, from failing to properly dispose of customers' personal information within 30 days, and from failing to monitor sales personnel for compliance with the order. The order also imposes a judgment of more than $13.1 million, which will be suspended upon payment of $159,000 by the defendants who are part of the settlement. Additional funds are expected from the court-appointed receiver's sale of the defendants' assets in the U.S. The full judgment will become due immediately if the defendants are found to have misrepresented their financial condition or fail to meet the terms of the order. The other four defendants named in the complaint are in default.
The FTC brought this case in cooperation with the Ministry of the Attorney General of Ontario, Civil Remedies for Illicit Activities Office. The Ministry simultaneously filed a separate lawsuit in Ontario seeking assets for consumer redress to victims in the United States and Canada.
The FTC also worked cooperatively with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the Toronto Strategic Partnership in bringing this case. The Toronto Strategic Partnership members include the United States Postal Inspection Service, the Competition Bureau Canada, the Toronto Police Service Fraud Squad - Mass Marketing Section, the Ontario Provincial Police Anti-Rackets Section, the Ontario Ministry of Consumer Services, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the United Kingdom's Office of Fair Trading.
The FTC thanks Bank of America and the Better Business Bureau for their assistance.

BMI View: Total's 75% farm-in to a block in the Philippines' Sulu Sea suggests upstream entrance in the country remains strong. However, Total is entering a block where Exxon spent several years and US$400mn drilling four non-commercial wells before exiting. Resource estimates suggest offshore potential in the Philippines, and with Total eager to build its presence in the Asian gas market, the French IOC may be able to succeed where Exxon failed.
Total announced its acquisition of a 75% stake from Malaysian independent Mitra Energy in Block SC56, in the Philippines' Sulu Sea. Total enters the Philippines upstream at a time of increased interest from both oil majors and independents in the country's oil and gas sector. We have highlighted Manila's attractive business environment, which is underpinned by a growing economy - factors which have supported its presence near the top of our Asian oil & gas risk/reward ratings ( see our online service, June 25, 'New Investment Highlights Strong Business Environment').
Recent upstream activity has increased in the country on the back of a concerted government effort to drive domestic production and increase fuel efficiency in the hope of reducing the future import burden. With oil consumption set to rise, and a plan to increase the use of gas for power and industry, developing domestic resources will be key to meeting future demand affordably. However, the ongoing territorial dispute with China over parts of the West Palawan Basin continues to weigh on Manila's ability to tap domestic resources.
|Struggling Production Signals Import-Led Future
|Philippines - Oil Production, Consumption & Imports, 2000-2016 ('000b/d)
Total Enters Block With A Past
Total's presence will be welcome on SC56, following the October 2011 exit of US oil major ExxonMobil and Australian independent BHP Billiton, which previously held equity in the licence with Mitra. After spending some US$400mn on four exploratory wells, Exxon and BHP pulled out following their assessment that, despite gas discoveries, the finds were non-commercial. Total may be able to succeed where Exxon has failed, if the resource estimates are accurate. According to the Philippine Petroleum Resource Assessment Project, the country's total risked petroleum resources are approximately 9bn barrels of oil equivalent (boe), with more than 5bn boe located in the offshore West Palawan and Sulu Sea regions.
|Philippine Potential
|Philippines - Total Risked Petroleum Resources (%)
Among the four wells drilled on the block were the Deabakan-1 and Palendag-1A, which, according to an independent estimate cited by Mitra, had contingent resources of 134mn boe with a high estimate of 343mn boe. The new partners are wasting little time, with a new exploration phase set to begin on September 1 2012; the new seismic data set to be acquired will help determine whether Total has made a wise investment.
In June 2012, Anglo-Dutch major Shell signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for a feasibility study for the Philippines' first liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal, with a lack of existing import infrastructure placing an artificial ceiling on gas consumption. If Total can bring its newly acquired acreage into production, there should be sufficient demand for volumes in the country, as natural gas demand is set to increase by an average of 5.7% to 2016.
|Gas Grows But There Could Be More Offshore
|Philippines - Gas Production And Consumption, 2000-2016 (bcm)
Does It Work For Total?
For the French international oil company (IOC), an upstream presence in a market with the scope for strong growth is consistent with its plans to build on its leading position in the global LNG, natural gas sectors and deepwater plays. This is especially true in Asia, where capturing demand is an integral part of Total's growth strategy. While Exxon may have been counting on larger volumes to justify the costs of bringing the block into production, the US$400mn sum spent on exploration in the Sulu Sea is a warning for Total, whom we have highlighted faces ongoing production problems in the North Sea and spiralling costs at flagship projects such as Ichthys LNG.

New Zealand Test centre Shontayne Hape scored four tries as defending Super League champions Bradford Bulls hammered play-off debutants Salford City Reds 52-6 in their elimination play-off at the Grattan Stadium.
The Bulls hit a rich vein of form in a nine-try rout to earn a home semi-final against Warrington Wolves next Saturday and keep alive their hopes of a sixth successive Grand Final appearance.
Bradford?s newly-crowned world light welterweight champion Junior Witter watched the Bulls deliver a brutal knockout blow to a Salford side that slipped below the high standards set in their best-ever Super League season.
Had it been a boxing match, it would surely have been stopped long before the end, with the Reds out-muscled and out-classed by a Bradford team that at last began to resemble last year?s championship-winning side.
There was an early end for Salford?s chief playmaker Andrew Dunemann, who was forced off just 10 minutes into his farewell appearance after succumbing to two heavy knocks.
Reds forwards Chris Charles and Sean Rutgerson also bowed out in disappointing circumstances as Karl Harrison?s men crumbled under an early onslaught by the rampant Bulls.
There were shades of last year?s record 71-0 play-off win over Hull FC as the Bulls re-discovered the awesome touch.
They set off at a point a minute and were in firm control by half-time when they led 22-0.
Great Britain international Paul Deacon was the Reds? tormentor-in-chief, twice forcing them to drop out before they had handled the ball and putting in the kicks that produced two tries in the first eight minutes.
First full-back Michael Withers leapt high above the Salford defence to gather the scrum-half?s ?bomb? and then loose forward Brett Ferres pounced on a loose ball after Reds full-back Karl Fitzpatrick fumbled Deacon?s grubber kick.
The expert marksman also converted both tries from identical positions to put his side 12-0 ahead.
In between the scores, the Bulls were indebted to a wonderful last-ditch tackle from Lesley Vainikolo, who raced over from the left wing to haul Salford centre Aaron Moule into touch in the right corner following a superb break from skipper Malcolm Alker.
But it was a rare raid by the visitors, who looked shell-shocked by Bradford?s blistering start, and their cause was not helped by the loss of Dunemann which left Harrison with little room for manoeuvre with his substitutes.
The Bulls were simply on fire and they extended their lead on 17 minutes when Hape took Iestyn Harris? accurate pass to cut through a gap for his first try and Deacon added his third goal.
Influential hooker Terry Newton then made the most of a neat offload by substitute Paul Johnson to get Hape over for his second try to make it 22-0 by the break.
Hape completed his first hat-trick of the season two minutes into the second half when he took Deacon?s pass to squeeze over at the corner but Salford ensured there would be no whitewash when winger David Hodgson gathered Harris? kick and sprinted 80 metres for a try.
Charles added the conversion but Bradford were simply irresistible and ran in four further tries in the final quarter.
A fine break from Brad Meyers got fellow front rower Andy Lynch over for a deserved score and second rower Chris McKenna juggled with Harris? pass before touching down.
Harris also got 17-year-old forward Sam Burgess over for a try before Hape surged over for his fourth touchdown, to which Deacon added his eighth goal from nine attempts.
Bradford Bulls (22) 52. Tries: Withers, Ferres, Hape 4, Lynch, McKenna, Burgess. Goals: Deacon 8.
Salford City Reds (0) 6. Tries: Hodgson. Goals: Charles.
Bradford Bulls: Withers, Bai, B. Harris, Hape, Vainikolo, I. Harris, Deacon, Vagana, Newton, Lynch, McKenna, Meyers, Ferres. Replacements: Johnson, Burgess, Henderson, Pryce.
Salford City Reds: Fitzpatrick, Hodgson, McGuinness, Moule, Wilshere, Dunemann, Robinson, Coley, Alker, Rutgerson, Finnigan, Littler, Charles. Replacements: Highton, Adamson, Haggerty, Brocklehurst.

Margret is a divorcee, aged 27, and a mother of two, of whom one child goes to school. Her business is a retail shop, and she works seven days a week and 13 hours each day. She will use the loan to buy household items for sale in the retail shop.
She started her business in 2006 because it seemed well earning. Her clients come from the area and include passersby. The major challenge with her business is an unending list of debtors. She is going to use the loan for increasing the stock.
Her future hope is to buy a plot and build herself and her family a residential house.
Her word to lenders is to understand their clients, especially when they have an explanation for their failure to pay. The man kneeling is a group member who is still saving and hopes to get a loan in the next cycle. He signed the waiver form, though. The lady standing behind is a Ugafode staff member.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

could you find it in your heart to root for the Hawks as well as the Clones since our paths wouldn't cross?
just curious.
MAYBE, maybe if it was against Nebraska. but i'd be rooting more for the stadium to implode.
Never. Not an option.
I say no too, but only because in our lifetime we have played them. If someone grew up never knowing the rivalry, I wonder if more fans would be "neutral"?

Uh, no - we would still compete with each other for the best recruits in the area, so their success would hurt us...
I respect Iowa. They are a good football team. But i hope they get their *** kicked every single week in every single sport
If the Hawks were playing against Communism or the Third Reich I would root for them.
That is all.
Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary.
Martin Luther King Jr.
I think so. But saying that gives me a certain "ick" feeling - so perhaps that's an indicator of the truth.
I grew up a hawk fan. I think my anti-iowa sentiment is a direct result of our losing streak, and interaction with hawks as a result of these games. The animosity wouldn't be there if not for that.
Then again, we never play Duke - and I can't stand them either.

HAAAAhahaha...I agree. Potentially I would root for them against Nebraska. And that is about it.
For I! For S! Go State!

I would too, but only if the communism is pre-glasnost.
You can't die. That would upset the equilibrium in the Cave.
Prohman Empire.
I grew up in eastern Iowa and all I heard was hawk this and hawk that, like they are some sort of perennial power. Well hawk fans, you never have been a perennial power and never will be.
No. Im pretty sure its the way most of their fans act that makes me not like them the most. If we didnt play them, all we'd have is our overall records, and with us in the big 12, and them in the big 10, theyd almost always end up looking better, and we'd never hear the end of it.

I don't think so... but then again I don't have a second team I root for in college football or any other college sport. Only one team I watch.

Virgin Atlantic Offers Passengers 'Third in Line' the Royal Treatment
With the whole world awaiting the arrival of the royal baby, Virgin Atlantic is commemorating the birth by offering passengers who check in "third in line," access to the airline's award-winning Clubhouses on the day of the birth.
Whether a passenger checks in online or in person, and wherever they are flying, the third person issued a boarding pass on Virgin Atlantic flights departing from both London Heathrow and London Gatwick, will receive a special pass to the Clubhouse for themselves and their party.
"We fly over 9,000 passengers a day from both Heathrow and Gatwick and we look forward to surprising some of them with a Clubhouse pass," said Matthew Callard, our Head of Clubhouses. "We're sure the new baby will be enjoying the royal treatment from day one but we wanted to offer our passengers a little taste of the high life too. Our Clubhouses offer an oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the airport where passengers can relax and unwind to get in the holiday spirit."
From getting a Kate-inspired blowdry at the bumble & bumble salon, a relaxing massage at the spa through to wetting the baby's head over a glass of champagne, the Clubhouse is the perfect place to chill out and live like a royal for a few hours.
How do you know if you're third in line? Check your boarding pass. If your boarding sequence shows 003, congratulations! Pick up your invitation from check-in or bag drop (if checked in online) then head to the Clubhouse reception with your party (max 4 people).
Virgin Atlantic fly to over 30 exciting destinations around the world so book your flight today.

We utilized Sheepskin finger linings which are found on the top of the line gloves, put a solid palm pad in thee for beefed up protection where you need it most.

Response to
Re: Hoovering vs Charging Rhino
Power characteristic is more of a concern to me than numbers.
But having written that, I have no problem helping the charging rhino charge a little harder either.
I do have my reservations about cutting down the plenum divider.
I would be curious if the flow in the 4 "lagging" runners can be brought up without shaving down the plenum divider.
If not, I'd like to know how shaving the divider affects the manifold vacuum at idle & low rpm and how it affects the powerband; indicated by how low in rpm the motor can be loaded on the dyno. If the motor can be loaded on the dyno just as low with the plenum divider cut down as it can with the plenum divider full height, AND if the effect on vacuum is minimal, then I'm all for cutting down the divider. If not, then I would prefer to keep the divider full height rather than bringing the flow up in the 4 "lagging" runners.
Dan will you be attending the POCA rally this year?

I love all types of crafts...I have dabbled in cake decorating, scrap booking, crocheting, knitting and finally quilting. Quilting seems to be 'sticking' more than the others! I have a bad habit of learning how to do something and then becoming quickly bored. There is just so much to learn with quilting, I think it will take a long time to get bored...if that ever happens!

[caption id="attachment_88437" align="alignnone" width="500"] Petaluma-based Athleta opened a pilot physical store here in Mill Valley in spring 2010. The company had 65 stores by the end of January. (image courtesy of Gap)[/caption]
CORTE MADERA -- Women's activewear maker and retailer Athleta, a division of Gap, Inc., is doubling the size of its pilot brick-and-mortar store in a move to Corte Madera.
San Francisco-based Gap (NYSE: GPS) signed a long-term lease for 4,362 square feet in the 370,000-square-foot Town Center Corte Madera regional mall.
The store is scheduled to open later this year, according to a Gap spokeswoman.
"The move gives Athleta a larger space to better meet the growing demand of our Mill Valley and North Bay customers," Andrea Hicklin said.
The existing Marin County store occupies 2,534 square feet in Strawberry Village Shopping Center near Mill Valley. Petaluma-based Athleta opened it four years ago as a test move from the mail and Internet world the brand has operated in since 1998.
It's turned out to be a key move for Gap.
At the end of Gap's fiscal year on Feb. 1, Athleta had 65 stores in 25 states and the District of Columbia, up 85 percent from 2012. The divison plans to open about 30 more in the U.S. this fiscal year, Gap said in its year-end review Feb. 27.
"But by every metric we look at, whether that's comp, traffic, penetration in key markets, what the brand stands for, the new customer acquisitions, it was really a breakout year for Athleta," Gap Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Glenn Murphy told investment analysts at the time.

This week's Bike Overnight story comes from Kent "Mountain Turtle" Peterson, who tells us about an amazing accommodation in western Washington where grown-ups get to act like kids (or squirrels?) and sleep in the trees. "In mid-June," writes Kent, "Christine and I spent our 'virtual weekend' (Wednesday and Thursday) on a few acres of land next to the Raging River at a wonderful place called TreeHouse Point. This place is not far from our home in Issaquah -- just over eight miles as the bikes roll, and almost all of those miles traverse paths designated for non-motorized travel."

Tag Archives: Search Engine Optimisation
Looking to be found
The internet is by far one of the largest marketing tools open to companies of all types and sizes. The expectancy of companies and organisations to have a website is so great that it's a shock if they don't have one. Continue reading
The clash of the Titans
It is always a topic of conversation in any website meeting: "where are we in Google? We need to be top of the first page. We need to be above our competitors!" Companies are becoming obsessed with search engine optimisation and being top on the first page of Google. And quite rightly so, with Google accounting for over 50% of Internet searches, it is a powerful marketing tool.
However, Microsoft is now bidding to overthrow Google's search engine supremacy with the launch of Bing, a new search engine it says will give more useful results and end its rival's dominance.
The search engine will allow users to target their searches more accurately and do away with the millions of irrelevant results that many searches retrieve on Google. Microsoft calls it a "decision engine" because, it claims, it refines your search more carefully and offers a list of topics of related interest — something Google doesn't do.
Bing went live in the US on the 2nd June, and is currently under development at Microsoft's headquarters in London. Ashley Highfield from Microsoft says, We have what we think are a series of Google-beating features." "We are trying to move from a world where people are generally frustrated with their search, to one where people are genuinely pleased with their answers.
"For example, if you enter Nikon D80, Bing will know you are looking for a camera. From that moment on, a lot of things happen differently. With Google you get 500,000 search results in decreasing relevance. With us, because we know it's a camera, we immediately open up categories on the left hand side. It starts with where to buy Nikon D80s, the next one is instruction manuals, or how to use Nikon D80s. Anything you put in it will recognise and start to categorise."
Bing is an exciting new bit of kit, but it surely faces an up hill struggle to surpass Google. But one day we could just be adopting the phrase 'Bing it' in preference to 'Google it"
Everywhere you go – it is SEO!
Only a couple of years ago SEO seemed to be a mysterious form of 'black magic'. It was believed, somewhere out there, existed powers which would help to position your website within Google and other search engines. People realised SEO existed, but paid little attention to it.
Now things have changed! SEO is the new marketing meeting buzz word. We can no longer go to a client marketing meeting without mentioning Search Engine Optimisation. Everyone wants to know more about SEO.
Why is my website not on the first page of Google?
My competitor's website is on the first page?
How do I get my site onto the first Page of Google?
Question: Why are people now paying more attention to SEO?
Answer: Because they can't afford not too?
With over 38 million people in the UK using the internet (over 60% of the UK population), and with 80% percent of these people using search engines to find the service or product they need, companies can no longer ignore SEO. A company's website must feature highly in the Search Engine's - especially Google.
Company directors and marketing managers are now spending less time worrying about web design and more time worrying whether their website is being built in a search engine friendly manner.
Statistics taken from Hitwise and Nielsen/Net Ratings
Web design is important – but so is website traffic!
Web design is crucial; no one wants a 2nd rate, pedestrian looking website. However, there is little point in having an all singing, all dancing website if no one is accessing it.
Without a method of directing traffic to your site, it will achieve nothing. No matter how informative the website is, or how great the design looks, your website will be unlikely to generate new business or sales enquiries.
Website Traffic can be generated in 6 main ways:
1. Search Engine Optimisation
2. Online advertising
3. Press Advertising and PR stories
4. Pay per Click Advertising
5. Email Marketing
6. Internet Users directly accessing your website
Search Engine Optimisation is considered by many as the most important method in getting traffic to your website. To maintain an effective SEO strategy, it must be performed on an ongoing basis.
While press advertising is seeing a decline, online advertising is proving more popular. Web banners and skyscrapers are important digital marketing tools in getting the internet user to jump onto your website.
If you are looking to get your website onto the first page of Google and generate instant traffic to your site then Pay Per Click Advertising is often a good answer- however this can prove expensive in the long run!
Email marketing is good at getting repeat visitors to your website.
Emailing your database and directing people onto your website from their inbox, often through special promotions is an excellent way of generating site traffic.
Remember people won't just stumble across your website. You must actively market it.
Web Design is important. But so is website traffic!!!

You've had dreams about maching down runs this fast, but you thought they were just that: dreams. With the K2 AMP Velocity Skis and Marker M3 11.0 Bindings beneath your feet, you'll be the monster that makes groomers wake up sweating in the middle of the night. Everything about the Velocity is designed to enable it to rally groomers, and to rally them fast.
K2's Speed Rocker profile gives this ski a 10/90 rocker-to-camber balance in order to provide effortless turn initiation and flawless transitions, and camber along the rest of the running surface delivers precision, power, and edge-hold so you can rip down techy steep terrain, dance through trees, and slice down groomers in record time. A fir and aspen wood core is wrapped with triaxial braided fiberglass to increase stiffness throughout the entire ski.
The Marker M3 11.0 binding utilizes a Compact Toe and a fixed Compact 2 heel design which generate more power, precision, and quickness underfoot than many comparable bindings. The M3 has a very low profile so that power is transferred directly to the ski, resulting in extremely quick response and maneuverability at high speeds.

Dioxide Pacific has designed and installed a pH correction system for a semiconductor production plant. This facility uses HF, other inorganic acids and bases in the production system which are washed with RO water to waste. Raw waste is collected in a sump 4m below ground level and pumped to three x 3 kL treatment tanks in series. pH is controlled in each tank with PID controlled addition of sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide via ProMinent Sigma dosing pumps. If the pH is not correct in the final tank, it is automatically recirculated back to the first tank for re-processing. The plant is controlled via a central PLC and HMI operated control panel which logs data, sends email alarms and has remote internet access via a 4G router.
View a 3D presentation of the plant.
If you have a waste water system which requires pH correction or disinfection, Dioxide Pacific can design and install the system and guarantee the outcome. Contact us today.
Dioxide Pacific was engaged by a power station to design, supply and install a chemical dosing system for PACL and polymer. Ash water is pumped from a nearby dam and dosed with PACL (poly aluminium chloride) to aid coagulation before this water is introduced into a clarifier.
The system consists of a 2 x stainless steel 1,000L IBC bund tanks, ProMinent Sigma S3Ca chemical dosing (metering) pump, by-pass pipework and pump, ash water pipework and electrical control panel. Ash water is pumped from the dam into 200mm schedule 80 grey UPVC pipework. This pipework is located on concrete bases near the chemical dosing plant. Water is drawn from the ash water pipeline, dosed with PACL and then mixed back in just prior to a static mixer. Liquid polyelectrolyte is diluted in-line prior to introduction into the PACL dosed water. The treated ash water is introduced at the clarifier inlet.
The complete chemical dosing system is controlled from a local control panel with Allen Bradley PLC and monitored from the plant SCADA. Dioxide Pacific was responsible for concept and detailed design along with installation, commissioning and proving of plant performance.
Control of the chemical dosing pumps is from a ProMinent D1CAW0P bi-directional pH controller which provides pulse output to both dosing pumps. Once the pH is correct and the level in the tank is at high, treated water is discharged to sewer.
The complete chemical metering system is controlled from a local control panel with Allen Bradley PLC and monitored from the plant SCADA. Dioxide Pacific was responsible for concept and detailed design along with installation and commissioning.
Dioxide Pacific was engaged bv Coliban Water in Victoria to design and construct a chemical dosing and storage upgrade for alum at the Echuca Water Treatment Plant.
The installation included removal of existing storage facilities which did not comply with EPA bunding guidelines and replacement with new 38,000L bulk storage tank, concrete bund and tanker unloading facility. New chemical dosing pumps ProMinent Sigma S3Ca were installed with flow paced 4-20mA control from site SCADA. Dosing pumps were installed inside a 316 s/s cabinet to protect them from the weather and vandalism. The bund area was fully enclosed with a safety fence.
Dioxide Pacific was responsible for full mechanical, electrical and civil works for the project and final performance testing.
Application: Design and Construction of Bulk Chemical Storage and Dosing System for 98% Sulphuric Acid

OSU's recent rise makes it a 'storm-worthy' football team
STILLWATER — Mike Gundy did not know how to react when thousands of Iowa State fans were suddenly storming the field at Jack Trice Stadium after Jeff Woody scored the game-winning touchdown to knock off then-No. 2 Oklahoma State in double overtime.
The fans came from all angles. They gathered near the end zone where the winning touchdown was scored. They sang along with Neil Diamond's song "Sweet Caroline" as it blared over the loudspeakers.
"For a second there, I was kind of worried about getting run over," the OSU coach said. "Then I thought, 'Well, I deserve to be run over.'"
OSU wide receiver Justin Blackmon said the loss, and the wild celebration from the opposing fans it caused, made him feel "empty." Understandable, since that will likely go down as the moment the Cowboys' national title hopes were dashed.
But, in a way, that night also illustrated how far the OSU program has come.
A team generally has to be good — really good — to be worthy of getting stormed when it loses on the road. The Cowboys have rarely, if ever, held that type of status.
"I think that's the only time that's ever happened to me," Gundy said.
Many of the ISU faithful went as far as calling its victory over the Cowboys the greatest win in school history because it was the first time the Cyclones beat a team ranked in the top 6 of The Associated Press poll.
"We have had some 'signature wins' in the three years we have been here, but this one took place at home," ISU coach Paul Rhoads said. "We are happy that Cyclone Nation got to experience it."
The Cowboys have arguably been a "storm-worthy" bunch for the past two seasons. But a team also has to lose on the road in order for the field to get rushed. That hadn't been a concern for OSU until the ISU game.
Entering that contest, the Cowboys had won their last 10 road games, preventing any opposing fans from flooding the field.
The Cowboys know they won't have to worry about the opposing fans storming the field after Saturday's Bedlam clash with No. 10 Oklahoma, since the game is at Boone Pickens Stadium. But there's a great chance the OSU fans will rush the field if the Cowboys win to clinch their first Big 12 title and BCS bowl berth.
That would help erase the pain of that Friday night in Ames.
"That was probably the worst feeling ever," running back Jeremy Smith said. "But just to see it happen in our stadium this week, it's going to be worth it."

Electric vehicle chargingAs part of our commitment to renewable energy, we are currently installing electric vehicle rapid charging points across all of our UK stores to complement the existing normal (or slow charge) points.
We are working with our sustainability partners, car manufacturer Nissan and green energy provider Ecotricity, to introduce the dedicated rapid charging points in all of our car parks so customers can confidently charge their vehicles while shopping in store.
Developed by Nissan, the rapid charger units can recharge an electric vehicle, such as the 100% electric Nissan LEAF, from empty to 80% full in just thirty minutes and IKEA will be the first major retailer in the UK to make them available to its customers.
The charging points will be free for all customers to use and there'll be no charge for the 100% sustainably sourced green electricity from Ecotricity.
All IKEA UK stores now have rapid-chargers and some have both rapid-chargers and combined chargers. You can view a map to find out where these are available around the country here.

Corporate Real Estate Research Thought Leadership Continues to Evolve
Manning, Chris, Roulac, Stephen E., The Journal of Real Estate Research
This special issue of the Journal of Real Estate Research is the fourth dedicated to corporate real estate in the past twelve years, following issues that appeared in 1989, 1993 and 1999. During this time, the quality and breadth of corporate real estate research published by professional associations and the academy has increased and evolved in important ways. Not only has there been an increase in the diversity of corporate real estate research topics and geographic areas investigated, but research objectives and methodologies have also broadened and evolved to keep pace with corporate real property management practice and needs. Recent years have witnessed researcher recognition of the increasing importance that corporate real property can, and should play, in furthering a company's overall business strategy to include enhancing organizational communication, efficiency, core competencies, culture and corporate identity.
Along with the increasing breadth in corporate real estate research activity, the focus has evolved to better define and differentiate corporate real estate research from other real estate, finance and economic research. Since corporate real estate includes all space involved in supporting a company's businesses, corporate real estate research embraces the concerns of an enterprise regarding the space it uses for all its managerial and administrative functions, its manufacturing and warehousing, and its selling and distribution activities. Inherent in the management of a portfolio of geographically dispersed properties are opportunities that can contribute to shareholder wealth through thoughtful real estate decisions and planning that take advantage of greater economies of scale and other corporate resources.
It is not just company ownership or the leasing of operating facilities that define corporate real estate. Increasingly, corporate real estate management is being defined by researchers as capturing operating business and strategic competitive opportunities through creative management of a company's real asset portfolio commitments. This evolution of corporate real estate research over the past twelve years is evidenced by the scholarly creativity and quality of each author's work contained in this volume of the JRER dedicated to corporate real estate.
Production of a special issue of the JRER on corporate real estate such as this is made possible by the generous support of the International Association of Corporate Real Estate Executives (NACORE), who also sponsored both the 1993 and 1999 special issues. The following individuals have meaningfully contributed to advancing the thought leadership of corporate real estate research by working with the coeditors to review and improve the articles in either this and/or the 1999 special issue:
