We have been delivering our unique Proactive Preventative Maintenance Service for over 26 years now. So far, we have not discovered a sector that cannot benefit from its photocopiers and printers being serviced every month. However, some benefit more than others.
Our Managed Print Services for Barristers' Chambers is a great example. Clerks and Administrators are under constant pressure to develop their chambers, both in terms of attracting clients and ensuring that their business processes are effective.
When it comes to printing, copying and scanning, having operational multifunctional printers can make the difference between winning and losing. Trial bundles are often amended and printed at the last minute before going to court and any delays are potentially disastrous.
We have taken a brief look at two of our Barristers' Chambers and how they came to the decision to choose Systems Technology's Proactive Preventative Maintenance as their Managed Print Service of choice.
Atkin Chambers, Gray's Inn
Multi-award winning Atkin Chambers found the level of support they were receiving directly from a manufacturer was not sufficient to provide the right facilities for their barristers. Systems Technology was chosen to adopt the maintenance and supply of their photocopiers.
Central to this decision was Systems Technology's Preventative Maintenance, a service that prioritises every customer by using scheduled monthly visits to every machine, preventing problems before they occur.
Atkin Chambers has grown in recent years and supported by Systems Technology has deployed a fully managed service comprising six multifunctional devices, two production print devices in a dedicated print room, and a high-speed eCopy scanning solution. Print Management Software with "Follow-Me Printing," enabling users to collect their documents securely from any print device in the building while tracking costs by client/matter numbers, is being deployed shortly.
"I rely on and trust the service from Systems Technology."
Daniel Jones, Clerk
29 Bedford Row
Following an increase in printer and photocopier problems after their service provider was acquired, 29 Bedford Row began searching for a Managed Print Services company that could ensure the continuity of service to its barristers.
"I know that everything will run smoothly."
Nicola Kessell,
Chambers Administrator
The quality of service was the determining factor in narrowing down the winning supplier. The concept of Preventative Maintenance differentiated Systems Technology from the short-listed Reactive Maintenance companies and proved to be the right service proposition for the chambers.
Systems Technology has provided three multifunctional colour photocopiers to date, with customised document workflow scanning to enhance the management of the steady flow of incoming documents and case notes. A review meeting is held ever quarter to ensure SLAs are being met and to introduce the latest in Managed Document Services.

As we get older, our bodies may begin to require more care and might function less efficiently than when we were younger. After decades of wear and tear, our joints, muscles, and bones begin to ache from years of service. In addition, the older we get, the risk for a chronic illness increases, which may cause chronic pain or discomfort. Fortunately, there are ways to deal with this problem that are both practical and affordable. Check with your doctor before trying any of these tips.
Routine Exercise
Depending on your age and overall health, your doctor may give you approval for starting an exercise program. This can be done at home by watching an exercise program for persons whose circumstances, like age and health, are similar to yours. Alternately, the doctor may suggest joining a local YMCA or recreation center exercise class that meets at least weekly. Exercise can help to strengthen bones while making joints and muscles more limber. Systematic exercise also may stimulate the production of your body's endorphins, which can ease pain and help you feel better. The immune system may also benefit and contribute to the reduction of inflammation.
Healthy Eating
Avoid inflammatory foods like sugar, and for some, white flour or gluten, may ease physical discomfort. Weight reduction for obese persons can take extra pounds off of the body frame, also reducing physical discomfort. Certain foods or a specific eating plan may be suggested by your doctor or a nutrition specialist to ensure you are getting all the nutrients your body needs to function efficiently, which may in turn lessen physical pain.
If you are a busy person with chronic pain, it may be a good idea to spend some time each day relaxing and escape stress temporarily. Taking a short nap or enjoying nature in the back yard or at the park provides a break from your daily routine, which also have a positive effect on chronic pain levels.
Medical Pain Management
Your GP may provide a referral to pain management doctors who can treat your discomfort from a medical perspective. With many treatment options to choose from, there is a good chance they can find ways to make you feel more comfortable. Pain management experts have the skills and knowledge needed to assist with chronic pain issues.
There is no need to suffer pain in silence. Try tips like these to get your pain under control so you can enjoy a more comfortable lifestyle.

Waist pouch solves lost key problems
Last year around this time I went jogging. My jogging pants had no pockets and my hoodie had open pockets. I just carry a single key and put it in my hoodie pocket. I would remember to check on it every time I moved my jacket around. I finally warmed up enough to take my jacket off and reached in my pocket to make sure the key wouldn't fall out. Too late! It had already fallen out. I turned around and retraced my steps – 3 times! No key.
I posted on the blogs and kept searching lost and found sites. It never turned up. I grudgingly coughed up the $175 to replace the key and vowed to never let it happen again. This meant some pretty awkward arrangements like always wearing a coat with zippers (even when it was 90).
At last I looked at my remnants and discovered a fun piece of striped material which I have turned into a waist pouch. It is lightweight and not awkward like those big fanny packs I used to wear that held everything. I can put my single key in it and my phone. Which is nice because I was tired of carrying that in my hand.
I love my new pouch. Maybe I'll take the $175 I'll never have to spend again and get a new jogging outfit and shoes to go with it.
How do you solve your awkward carrying problems?

The giving is what got Loudoun United Way regional director Dave Tong going.
"Scores of companies" are giving to the 2003 United Way campaign Multiply the Power of You, Tong said. And several companies who left are coming back this year, including the Marriott and Amtrak, he said.
"I've had a lot of responses from companies I've gone to and people I've talked to. ... We're like a new United Way. We have a new executive staff and board of directors," said Tong, who took over as director in April and is the owner of a consulting firm in Sterling. "We're doing things right and ethical. I wouldn't be working for the United Way if I didn't trust them."
The Ashburn resident is going on a door-to-door campaign to raise more than last year's campaign total of $415,000. The metropolitan United Ways are not setting a monetary goal amount this year in response to the sluggish economy and a downturn in funding nationwide for non-profit organizations.
The Loudoun United Way campaign kicked off Oct. 16 and will conclude at the end of the year to raise funds for 30 to 40 non-profit organizations in Loudoun and about 1,400 organizations in the National Capital Area based on what donors choose. Several Loudoun companies that plan to give began signing up employee payroll deductions in August that will take effect in January 2004.
"I just think we're really fortunate to have the agencies that we have in Loudoun County," Tong said. "These folks work together. I don't see any cutthroat stuff, and everyone is out to help."
By campaigning, Tong saves the agencies from having to raise part or all of their own funds. The United Way got started in a similar fashion when three religious leaders in Colorado realized they duplicated efforts in their door-to-door campaigning. They combined their efforts and raised $21,000 in their first year in 1887.
"Small agencies don't have someone to campaign for them," Tong said. "Through the United Way, they can get exposure and funding."

|The Best Sources of Vegetarian Protein
Most foods have some combination of
protein, carbohydrates and fat – even vegetables contain all three
macronutrients! So here's a list of some whole foods and their protein,
carbohydrate, and fat content.
The reason I am showing you the three macronutrients is because people tend to eat too much of the wrong foods and they are gaining weight or stuck at a plateau and not losing weight. Typically a person is more likely to over eat on starchy carbohydrates or fat.
Some foods may contain more fat than protein, adding an excessive amount of calories in such a tiny portion. You want to be aware of these foods so you make sure and eat the right portion so you can easily lose weight.
Food Type : Protein / Carbohydrates / Fats (in grams)
One food I love is almond butter and I could eat almond butter everyday, twice a day.
The problem is it's loaded with fat which means it's very calorie dense. Every gram of fat equals 9 calories of energy where as protein and carbs have 4 calories per gram. You have to expend more energy to burn off 1 gram of fat than 1 gram of protein or carbs.
Fat is not particularly bad, it's the quantity that's the issue.
Our body's need fat for many functions so please do not cut them out completely. On average for a female, you want to take in between 7-12 gr. of protein per sitting depending on your calories for the day and if you are eating it for a snack or as part of your main meal.
An extra scoop of nut butter here and there can add up to hundreds of excess calories that can sabotage your weight loss progress. It is easy to over eat on nut butters so measure out a serving and put the rest away so double dipping doesn't happen.
What's the Deal with Complementary Protein?
Protein is made up of amino acids, often described as its "building blocks". We actually have a biological requirement for amino acids, not for protein.
Humans cannot make eight of the twenty common amino acids, so these amino acids are considered to be essential. In other words, we must get these amino acids from our food. We need all eight of these amino acids for our body to make certain proteins in the body.
Only eggs, milk, meat, and fish contain all of the essential amino acids.
Plant proteins on the other hand are usually low in one or two of the essential amino acids. For example, grains are lower in lysine (an essential amino acid) and higher in other amino acids. Legumes are lower in methionine (another essential amino acid) and high in other amino acids.
As a result, many diet experts insist that vegetarians consume "complementary foods" at
a meal – meaning that you eat two foods that combine to give you all the essential amino acids – such as beans and rice.
But that's "old school" thinking.
Recent studies have shown that this is not the case at all. Our bodies have what's called an amino acid pool where it cycles amino acids in the blood stream and stores them until it can use the amino acids for other purposes in the body or it's used for energy.
Your cells are constantly breaking down and synthesizing new proteins. Each day more amino acids are recycled in your body than are supplied in our diet. If you eat a grain source of protein in one meal and a protein source from beans the next meal, then that will be just as good as eating them together at the same meal.
As long as you have a variety of proteins throughout the day, the body will hold on to the amino acids that have not been used and place them in the amino acid pool to be used later.
Our bodies are AMAZING and RESOURCEFUL.
As long as you eat a variety of grains, vegetables, and nuts everyday the body will have the resources it needs to build healthy protein.
What about Protein Powders?
Protein powders have found their way into every grocery store and health food store.
These powders can be helpful in supplementing protein when you are busy or if you are looking for an alternative to beans or nut meal.
There are a variety of protein powder options on the market now. Traditionally you would find only egg protein, whey, and soy. With newer technology and knowledge about other healthy sources of protein a new generation of protein powders has arrived.
Now you can find pea protein, hemp, rice, and artichoke protein. These next generation protein powders are great for vegans since whey and eggs are dairy-derived the selection was limiting.
Remember that protein powder is a supplement and NOT a meal replacement. These powders supply protein but you will need to eat other foods with your meal to ensure you are power packed with nutrients.
Whole natural foods are your premium source of nutrients and digestible protein so lean on this source mainly and secondly use protein powders.
A healthy and safe portion per day is 1-2 servings. A protein smoothie with berries for breakfast and possibly a snack size portion later in the day will boost your protein intake and still give you plenty of opportunities to incorporate whole foods. A serving size of protein powder for a female is approximately 15 grams and approximately 20 grams for men and half this amount for snacks.
So, there are just a few tips to ensure
you get enough protein into your daily diet. download e book Click Here!

Yesterday's gone to sleep
waiting for her husband to return from the plant
where soot finds its way into his very dignity
clothing his shame in layers of insult too twisted to recant.
Yesterday's alone with child
sitting in the backroom of the artist's studio
where he will pay her to reveal her very dignity
painting her memoirs in colors her husband wouldn't know.
Yesterday's grown to hate
all men and women who killed her husband and child
with cathedral bells buying and selling her very dignity
knowing nothing could ever be reconciled.
(Many years later)
Yesterday's shown no favor
declaring the artist serves no one from inside a jail
where neither mind nor beauty can save its very dignity
blaspheming birth as eternal blackmail.

Here's a simple guide to SPF, UVA, UVB and tips on how you can protect your skin from the sun.
When it comes to protecting ourselves from the sun, it's important to understand why sun protection is so important for everyone, every day.
Read more: 5 home remedies for sunburn
Let's break it all down and eliminate any confusion regarding sun protection. We often see acronyms on our skin care products, cosmetics and clothing, but do you know what they mean?
- SPF = Sun Protection Factor
- UVA = Ultra Violet A (long wave)
- UVB = Ultra Violet B (short wave)
To protect our skin, we need to be aware of the damaging effects of UVA and UVB rays from the sun. They are two very different types of radiation, but both can harm your skin.
To make it simple, remember UVA — A for Ageing, as these are the rays that age your skin. And, think UVB — B for Burning, as these are the rays that burn your skin.
UVA rays cause skin ageing
UVA rays are responsible for skin ageing and wrinkling and can contribute to skin cancer. Because UVA rays pass easily through the ozone layer, they make up the majority of sun exposure. UVA rays can pass through clouds, glass and clothing. You might not be able to feel them, but they are there!
UVB rays cause sunburn
UVB rays are responsible for sunburn and cataracts. Most importantly, UVB rays also contribute to skin cancer.
SPF lets you know how long you can stay in the sun
Sun Protection Factor (or SPF) reflects the fraction of UVB rays that will reach your skin. For instance, SPF 15 means 1/15th of UVB rays will reach your skin. This gives you an idea of how long you can stay in the sun before your skin starts to burn. And everybody is different!
SPF only applies to UVB rays. It does not apply to UVA rays. Here's how SPF works: for the sake of easy maths let's say that your skin will start to burn when exposed to the sun in just 10 minutes. You take that 10 minutes and multiply it by the SPF number you are using.
For example, if you are using an SPF 30 product:
– 10 minutes x 30 (SPF) = 300 minutes
– Take the 300 minutes and divide by 60 minutes which equals 1 hour
– 300 minutes / 60 minutes = 5
– The result: around 5 hours of standard sun protection
Read more: 11 ways sunshine can make you healthier
Remember — this doesn't mean that you can apply your SPF 30 once and expect to be protected for 5 hours. It means that if you follow the recommended application instructions on the bottle, you will be protected from UVB rays for 5 hours (this usually involves reapplying a certain amount of sunscreen every 2 hours).
If you're at the beach or in direct sunshine for extended periods, then always err on the side of caution with sunscreen and your chosen SPF. It's important to not have a false sense of security when it comes to your sunscreen.
Many products are not water resistant, so you wouldn't be able to rely on 5 hours of protection if you were swimming or exercising. At the beach or while sporting in the sun, you need to apply, apply and reapply.
Remember to read the indications and warnings on sunscreen labels to understand the benefits and limits of sunscreen products.
Top sunscreen tips
- Always apply sunscreen, whatever the season.
- When buying sunscreen products always look for "broad spectrum protection" on the label to make sure you're protected against both UVA and UVB rays.
- The proper amount of sunscreen for your body is about 30ml which is just enough to fill a shot glass. And you need a teaspoon (5 grams) of sunscreen just for your face.
- Apply sunscreen at least 15 to 20 minutes before going into the sun. If your skin is already red from the sun, the damage has already started.
- It's important to protect every exposed area of the skin including your ears and any bald spots.
- Wear protective clothing like long sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats.
- Wear sunglasses that provide UVA and UVB protection. Not only can your eyelids burn, but exposure to UVB rays can lead to cataracts.
- Don't think you're protected in your car or looking out a window — the sun's rays can penetrate glass, so protect yourself even if you're not in direct sunlight.
- Make a habit of reapplying sunscreen every 2 hours or after swimming or excessive sweating.
- Stay out of the sun during the hottest hours of the day and seek the shade as much as possible.
The sun is a wonderful thing that we all enjoy, but the facts are the facts. Unprotected sun exposure is the leading cause of skin ageing and skin cancer. We must protect ourselves each and every day to ensure we live long and healthy lives — while looking fabulous!
Thanks to Jacquie Carter, beauty expert and Director of Outer Nutrition at Herbalife, for this great info about sunscreen.

The 45 second ristretto makes a comeback with 3rd day Brazil Moreninha Formosa. I'm in seventh heaven. This is my GODSHOT! I can't remember a finer shot than my previous one a long time ago with eCafe Sidamo. Pronounced DARK Chocolate notes, caramel creamy goodness, long aftertaste I wish could last forever.
While many would balk "45 seconds? Ristretto (restricted espresso)? That's almost twice 25 seconds – the standard timing for a shot of espresso." I was well aware of this, taking quick looks at Eric's e-61 thermometer to ensure the temperature doesn't drop below 198 degrees Fahrenheit while watching the pour to cut at first blonding. The resulting pour:
The details of the pour are:
Roast: Brazil Moreninha Formosa
Degree: Full City +
Machine: Quickmill Anita
Brew Pressure: 9.5 bars
Boiler Pressure 1.5 bars
Dose: 18 grams
Grind: Ultra Fine
Tamp: 30 pounds (Espro Clicker Tamper)
Eric's e61 Thermometer: Flushed to 187, Start pour at 198. End pour at 198.
Here's the sequence of my 3rd cup today. Same variables as above shot with
Eric's e61 Thermometer: Flushed to 187. Start pour at 200. End pour at 203.5
which resulted in a slight bitter shot, but still very pleasurable. Slight bitter dark chocolate.

Anna Grzeskowiak-Krwawicz och Bo Lindberg: "The Concepts of 'Liberty' in the Enlightenment"
- Datum: –17.00
- Plats: Engelska parken - Eng6-0022
- Arrangör: Tvärvetenskapligt 1700-talsseminarium i Uppsala och Maria Zadencka, Stockholms universitet
- Kontaktperson: Ann Öhrberg
- Seminarium
Tvärvetenskapligt 1700-talsseminarium i Uppsala i samarbete I samarbete med professor Maria Zadencka, Stockholms universitet
Professor Anna Grzeskowiak-Krwawicz, chef för Avdelningen för upplysningsstudier vid Polska Vetenskapsakademien/Institutet för litterära studier, Warsawa, och professor em. Bo Lindberg, Göteborgs universitet: "The Concept of 'Liberty' in the Enlightenment"
Anna Grzeskowiak-Krwawicz: "Freedom in Polish political discourse in the 18th century – enlightened idea or old-time heritage". The concept of liberty was one of the most important focal points, if not the centrepiece, of Polish political discussions in the 18th century. However, it was by no means a new idea. Its origins can be sought in writings dating as far back as the 15th century, and in the 16th and 17th century, freedom was the main contended issue of political disputes in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The lecture tries to answer questions about what was the so called "golden liberty" and what changes (if any) had taken place in Polish visions of freedom under the influence of the enlightened theories of state.
Bo Lindberg: "Freedom in 18th century Sweden". We have recently finished the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the freedom of the press in Sweden, so I think we are through with that for the time being. There are other aspects of freedom in the decades named the Era of Freedom: constitutional, national, economic, academic and religious. I will comment on some of them and on the concept of freedom itself.

Hello again to those of you who read my first post on Monday about faking that "pregnancy glow" in collaboration with Beauty Base.
If you didn't read my post and are just tuning in now, then grab a brew and catch up here.
I don't want to get into a super long post about the challenge as it is what it says on the tin; faking that pregnancy glow when pregnancy has been cruel and not given you that natural looking one. I reviewed the W7 Glow Guru on Monday and today I am trying out the Technic Prism Rainbow Highlighter in all it's sparkly glory.
Let's recap here was my before face…
After face using just some concealer and powder…
The products before I took a brush to them…
Now onto the review.
As you can see just from the swatch on the back of my hand, the rainbow highlighter is extremely sparkly. I was concerned a little about putting this on my face and looking like I'd just rolled my cheek in glitter, however used sparingly, it has a great effect.
You can see the subtle sheen on my cheekbone in the above picture showing the highlighter when used. As I say, with a light brush you can just give your cheek a gentle highlight however it would be easy to get carried away and put too much on to start with and then needing to rub some off with a tissue.
I did notice later in the day I still had a nice glittery effect on my cheek making this the perfect highlighter for an evening out more than just heading to work like I first put it on for.
Overall I love this product as it is extremely girly and could convert even the most highlighter-phobe out there. At a bargain £3.99 at the moment it's an absolute steal and bang on trend with all the unicorn items on the market at the moment.
Keep your eyes peeled for the next part of the series going live at the weekend and as always, thanks for reading.

Blogging Questions & Answers 21
I hope you guys had a good week, and to close it in style we have another set of Blogging Questions & Answers live. The questions from this week column are coming from batch 17. If you left one on the previous weeks, therefore, just hold tight until I come to it.
1. Matej asks:
"slow link building" method, can you explain it and why it's smart?
I know that Google doesn't like when new site receives tons of links at the very beginning but I would like to know more about this method.
Slow or gradual link building refers to the practice of generating backlinks to your website gradually over time. Suppose you just launched a new blog. A slow link building strategy would involve letting the blog be for a couple of months, and then gradually trying to receive more backlinks with quality posts, contests and so on.
This is a good strategy because it is what happens on most websites, and Google considers it to be "natural."
The opposite of this would be an aggressive link building strategy. A website owner using this strategy would purchase links in mass right from the start, work with directory submissions, linkbaits, and so on. The result would be a huge amount of links in a very short amount of time, and as you probably guessed, it could raise a red flash with big G.
On those cases Google will evaluate the site in question to see where the links are coming from, and if they find that the website owner tried to manipulate things to rank better in Google's SERP, the site might get penalized.
2. Diana asks:
What is the difference between feedbuner subscriber and web hosting?
Web hosting is when a company or an individual setup a computer with some special software (i.e. a web server and others) in order to host websites and web pages. This computer needs those special software layers to be able to "talk" with other computers on the Internet, and to serve the web pages to people that will request them.
Practically speaking, web hosting is when you pay a company to host your websites. You pay a monthly fee (as low as $5), and in return they will let you put content on your website, and make it available for everyone on the web.
Feedburner is a service provided by bloggers that publish RSS feeds. It basically adds reporting and advanced features to the RSS feed. If you want to know what RSS is, check out RSSDay.org.
3. Asad asks:
I have started a mu blogging site and i have been facing the spamblogs problem these days. Any Idea how to stop automated spam bloging?
I am not familiar with WordPress MU, but I think that in order to stop spam bots from registering on your site and publishing their crap you would need to make the sign up process more strict. Usually inserting a CAPTCHA or a simple question like "Is Fire Hot or Cold?" stop most of those bots.
Email verification is another security step that you could use.
4. Dave asks:
1. Am I missing something or is image management just kind of klunky on WordPress?
2. Speaking of images, is there a comprehensive guide anywhere on the legal ins and out of re-using images you find on the Internet? I think we all kind of "freely" use images we find, but I'd like to feel better that I'm following the rules and giving the appropriate credit.
3. On a different note, could you explain the difference between internal WordPress tags and external Technorati tags? I understand how to use both of them, I'm more interested in the difference in implementation. I've read that it's an either/or situation. I've also seen blog listing "Technorati tags:" at the end of their posts. Are those tags that they are somehow pulling IN from Technorati or are they simply listing the tags they've used to categorize their own post ON Technorati?
1. Yes image management is not perfect yet on WordPress. Sometimes I also need to waste some time figuring how to use it properly. Over the different WP versions, however, I noticed that the WP team pays particular attention to the multimedia features, and they are doing some great progress. I am sure that on WP 2.7 it will be a better experience for us, and you can always send them your suggestions.
2. I wrote an extensive article on this topic, it is titled Copyright Law: 12 Dos and Don'ts.
3. Putting it short: go with internal tags, or no tags at all. Those are the only two options I would consider. Technorati tags used to be popular a while ago, and people would use them in the hope that Technorati would send traffic their way.
In reality, however, this traffic was very slow, and you would always end up sending more traffic away then you would get in return.
5. Transcriptionist asks:
By making a quick look at your source codes, I couldn't find Google Analytic codes or rather any statistics tracker codes (hope I didn't bypass any codes). What do you depend up on to trace your traffic statistics, just the logs that come along with hosting?
I am a performance paranoid. That is, I try to make my sites load as fast as possible, so I only put the strictly necessary stuff on. Google Analytics is a cool tool, and I use it when I need to get specific information about referrals, bounce rate and so on. I only do that kind of analysis once in a while though (like once every 6 months), so I keep GA turned off during all other times.
For weekly or monthly traffic checks I use the programs provided with cPanel (e.g., Webalizer and AWStats). They overestimate the numbers, sure, but it is the variation that you need to pay attention to right? In other words, I check the growth rate month over month. That is the main metric to pay attention.
Finally, when I want to see how many real page views I am generating, I just check what Google AdSense is reporting.
6. Summy asks:
How do I inspire passion amongst my readers to get them to refer my blog to others?
That is a tough question, and one that most people try to find an answer to but few manage to.
I would say that providing outstanding value is how to do it. You need to publish content that is so good that would make your readers actually look good if they shared it with other people.
That is, suppose you publish the ultimate resource list for web designers. Tutorials, fonts, code snippets and so on, you include everything, and organize it in such a way that it becomes a must have resource.
Upon coming across this article, your readers would think: "Damn, this is freaking useful. If I blogged or told other people about it, I am sure they will benefit and thank me for that."
7. AdSense Alternatives asks:
I would like to know your idea of time management… how do you manage tasks amidst so many growing commitments…don't you ever feel these readers questions, advertisers, writing, reading a bit overwhelming?
Secondly what do you do if something unexpected comes up,how do you allot your time to the pre-commited tasks in that case?
I have two simple productivity rules:
1. Focus on one thing at a time
2. Finish what you have started
So when I start answer the questions from the readers, I will do only that for 30 or 60 minutes, and I will finish with them. When I start writing a post, I will close all other applications and do just that. So on and so forth.
When something unexpected comes up I just evaluate the priorities. If the thing that just came up is more important than what I was working on, I will switch to it, else it will go on the bottom of the to-do list.
8. Mayur asks:
1. Why no one Comments on my blog though i do on others ?
2. I am unable to generate income from my blog using Adsense. Please tell me how can I increase my income through ads.
3. How can I use Backlinks for a better Pagerank and how do I increase my blog visitors which are currently around 300 (avg.) / month.
1. The number of comments that you will have on your blog is not proportional to the number of comments you will leave on other people's blogs, but rather to the overall traffic levels on your blog.
It is an statistical thing. I would say that between 0,01% and 0,1% of your daily unique visitors will take the time to leave a comment on your blog. The precise percentage will depend on your niche and on how you encourage comments, but it is going to be deadly low no matter what.
So my advice if you want more comments is: work on making the blog more popular and increase the traffic, and the comments will come as a consequence.
2. The same point applies to this second question. Income generated from AdSense, and from any other source, is directly related to your traffic levels. On some websites AdSense will have very low returns, that is true, but you can only access that once you have a decent traffic level.
Are you over 1,000 uniques a day already? That is a number I would aim to before thinking about ads.
3. The more backlinks you have, the higher your PageRank and search rankings. So in reality you don't "use" them, but rather attract them. Publish quality and unique content that people will want to link to, that is how to gain lots of them.
As for increasing your traffic, there are no secret things. Write quality content and promote it. Check all the articles on our Promotion category and you might get some ideas on the promotion side of things.

@Suz, take a look in my "Promotion" category.
My question:-
Is there a way to build automated link exchange system?
Ex:- If A and B exchange link.
A's link on B's website will be there until B's link remains on A's website.
I would like to do link exchange with some people, but I can't keep monitoring whether they remove my link at any time, it should be handled automatically. Their link on my blog should remain, until my websites link remains on theirs.
Hope I am not confusing!
I'll continue to scout around this blog, and the 'net in general a bit more to try to answer my own question; but obviously, increasing traffic levels is a concern for any blog owner. I've done a lot of research and believe I'm participating in – at least – many preliminary strategies noted.
We've only been maintaining our blog for about 2 months and know that it'll take quite some time to garner a loyal readership following, but we're curious as to ways that others have achieved success with regard to increasing traffic. It's a travel-related blog, and we know that there are already many established travel-speak communities, but we wanted to give it a go nontheless.
Steps that we've already taken include:
-Consistent comments/contributions to a variety of blogs within our niche
-Built relationships with established blogs & bloggers within our niche
-Submitted blog to several directories (only after creating a decent amount of content)
-Written posts encouraging comments (some controversial, some humor, some social responsibility content)
-Leveraged social media outlets to create awareness about our blog (Facebook, LinkedIn, Technorati, MySpace etc)
Any other ideas, strategies or tactics would be greatly appreciated!
I've got a question:
I run a podcast via a blog. I just started moving into video and I am now concerned that I have to many images, too many icons, and too many videos on the blog. Is there a chance I've overcrowded my blog?

wow good questions and answers, I liked them except one
what is RSS feed burner and web hosting 🙂
Jeremy Day
Hi Daniel,
While I agree with your strategy of only doing advertising after 1000 uniques per day many pro bloggers in your blogger stand off recommended advertising from day one. It highly depended on what type of blog they were trying to make.
Figured your readers might want to check out your Blogger Stand Off category to make up there mind about when they want to do advertising.

Hey Daniel another question for you.
My blog currently gets less than 1,000 uniques per day and I am very eager to break that 1,000 uniques per day threshold.
I was wondering what strategies you could give me for breaking that threshold?
Thanks Daniel.
Good article. I have some more basic question then these but I'll do a little research first before I waste your time.
Thanks for the great info.Three way linking is a great way to increase traffic
Thank you for all the answers.
My question:
Should I remove no-follow attribute from comments authors links?
I have no problems with Spam in my blog and every comment that appears on my blog is really legitimate. Currently I'm removing no-follow from every comment if author has already approved comment. All other will have no-follow removed after 3 days. Is it good practice?
Ben Evert
I'm not convinced that 1000 visitors a day is the magic number needed to put ads on your blog. Depends on your niche. My niche is small enough that I was able to make a little money from the start. Of course, it does take time to get to the point of making decent money, but hey, you have to be in the blogging business for the long run.
Question for next week – I know you have written about Twitter, but is it a good source to build blog traffic or is it a waste of time? Any blog success stories from using Twitter to grow a blog?
Daniel Scocco
@Rarst, yeah it is not a fixed number yeah, but that is why I used a bracket, the smallest percentage being 0.01% and the highest being 0.1%.
For a blog that receives 1,000 uniques a day, that would mean an average of 1 comments per day up to 10 comments per day.
So you could say that a blog personality would be on the high end with 10 comments per day, and a beginner with 1 per day.
This is a great list of questions and answers,
it helps new bloggers like me
I am not sure comments are as simple as percent of visitors. Surely most of them are lurkers but I had seen some blogger's personalities having a great effect on number of comments they get.
Replying to each comment consistently (not possible for highly commented blogs but easy for beginners) and showing that you do read through them is pretty good tactics to build them up.
After you get few active commenters as core of your community it all becomes much easier.
For readers:
– making 2nd comment is easier than 1st.
– making 11th comment is easier than 2nd.
Kurt Avish
Excellent questions and answers again. I would like to share something very simple but also important. I started my blog on 20th of May 2008. It'll be 5 months this month and I can say I am getting a respectable amount of visits per day…but it took time. During my first months i was getting only about 10 visits per day 🙁
I didnt bought links or whatever. The simple trick is to keep updating your blog everyday with original articles and informative ones. With time if you are determined you can easily build a nice list of fans. I live in Mauritius and there are very few real bloggers. At most 30. And for a small island like Mauritius i get a decent amount of visits. Also write posts that people think of being useful. If people get useful stuff on your blog they will come back again. Write simple but useful tutorials and share sincerely what you know.
Cheers 🙂

Do a search on google for "WP HashCash" it's an anti-blog spamming plugin. It works on comments as well as signup page.
Nice Q&A article..
My question:
Would you delete any posts/article from your blog, which doesn't provide any value after a certain time?
Ex:- If you think of starting a forum and you announce it on a blog post. After a while you change your mind and drop the idea of designing the forum. Now will you delete the old post(announcement post)? Because that article would make no sense for the future and your readers any get confused and they may start searching for the forum.

Great Q&A!
You really know your stuff…
1000 Unique visitors a day is a lot for the average site, anyhow, I suppose we should let it inspire us +_+
Thanks Daniel for giving time to answer my questions.
I will work out on your given advices…
Thanks again!

Some great questions and answers as usual!
most of the time, because of the testimonies of successful bloggers, newbie on the field are distracted on how to monetize your blog. Yes, it's true that there is some gold on blogging but the first 6 months of your blogging career is more about giving effort without reward. It's like digging first the tunnel before finding the treasure.
Thank you for the answer of my query.
The question for this week:
It is obvious that recession is going to affect almost all sectors except essential commodities/factors of living, but I do see it as a booming season of traffic for bloggers as people will cut down on outdoor entertainments and luxuries and withdraw to indoor entertainments like TV and net surfing. On the negative side for bloggers, advertisers may cut down their budgets. How do you see the recession would affect bloggers – positive or negative? If negative, do you have any tactics for surviving the recession for bloggers?
SEO Genius
Another excellent set of questions and answers. I totally agree with the last monetizing your website should really only come after you have reached 1,000 daily visitors because this is where you will start to see a noticeable income starting to stream through your blog.
Whether that is through adsense or affiliate products it doesnt matter.

Sen. Rand Paul strongly signaled Sunday that he's interested in running for president in 2016, saying the Republican Party needs something different than "cookie-cutter conservatives."
The Kentucky senator, who has been watching his star rise in the party and last weekend won the annual straw poll at the Conservative Political Action Conference, stressed in an interview with "Fox News Sunday" that he doesn't know yet whether he will run for president.
But asked about his plans, he said he's already talked with Republican National Committee leaders about the "things I think we need to do" to be competitive across the country. He said the party needs more libertarian policies -- which Paul is known to stand for -- in order to attract younger voters. Paul said it's important to have a candidate who "would appeal across the left-right paradigms."
"I've always said I wanted to be part of the national debate. I think the Republican Party needs to figure out how to be bigger, and I think I do bring some ideas to that," Paul said, adding: "We do need something new. The party needs something new to grow, and I want to be part of that."
The senator said he wants to be involved in helping the country recover economically.
Paul is among the crop of fresh Republican voices considered competitive in 2016, a group that includes Florida Sen. Marco Rubio -- who also received an enthusiastic response more than a week ago at CPAC. Paul, the son of former congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul, earlier this month drew national attention for his 13-hour filibuster in which he pressed the Obama administration for clarification on its authority to use drones to kill Americans.
Paul, while right of his party on some issues, also strays left on many other topics. Earlier this week, he gave a major speech in which he endorsed a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Paul clarified Sunday that conservatives still need to be reassured that the border is controlled.
"No immigration reform's going to happen unless Republicans in the House sign onto it," Paul said. A group of eight senators, four from each party, is trying to finalize the details of an immigration reform plan, with hopes of pushing legislation in the coming months.
Paul, who describes himself as a supporter of traditional marriage, also reiterated that he believes the states should have the right to decide the legality of gay marriage. This comes ahead of key Supreme Court cases that are being argued this week, one of which concerns the controversial Prop 8 measure which banned gay marriage in California.
Paul defended his stance on marijuana and other drugs as well, which is seen to be more lenient than the party's overall position. "The main thing I've said is not to legalize them but not to incarcerate people for an extended period of time," he said.
Paul said the prisons are full of "non-violent criminals" and that while he doesn't want to "encourage" marijuana use, that is something many young people do before abandoning it later in life.
"The last two presidents could conceivably have been put in jail for their drug use," Paul said. "They got lucky, but a lot of poor kids, particularly in the inner city, don't get lucky."

I made this quite awhile ago and it' very simple and I decided to open it up to the public.
Basically you run a dungeon or two (up to 5 per form) and just fill out how many of each drop type there was. It's very generalized into 3 categories: crap drops, sellable drops, and pc drops.
I also have the basic cores found in the dungeons as well.
Category Descriptions:
Crap drops are things you'd NPC, or break down for mats (To include PC crap items like evasion or HP steal or non slot)
Sellable drops are items that while not perfect, can be sold for skins, or a few million alz (like 2 slotted amp items, pc non-slot amp)
PC drops, naturally, are the perfect drops. Be that epaulets +7 and up, or PC 2 slotted amp or CD gears, and also includes amp/cd items with the correct amp in slot. This does NOT include PC items that people usually do not use like pc def with no amp, or pc hp % steal with no amp.
On some pages there's the unique drops, Merg ring, Tyrant Ring, Sienna Bracelet, Drosnin's earrings, etc.
Here's the link to the form: Drop Rate Calculation Form
The more times the form is filled out, the better the results are for everyone.
Here's a link to view the current results:
Totals and Rates
I've included a new full display showing each submission's totals based on username. All blank before I added the name requirement have been made as "Anonymous". You may use that name if you don't want your contribution visible publicly.
Please do not put ANY false information, since this is based on integrity and everyone wants to know the rates of drops anyways. If you want to know real chances of getting PC items, then answer real answers. In time this will get fill out a lot and the numbers will start to be realistic.
This includes BLANK entries!
I do keep track of this and know the game well enough to know false answers when I see them and I will delete them. Please don't make me waste time for those immature actions.
Good Luck Nevarathians!

Bleacher Report
|A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. (December 2013)
|Bleacher Report
|Web address
|Covering your teams better than anyone else.
|Turner Broadcasting System (Time Warner)
Alexa rank
|11px 231; 81: United States (April 2014[update])[1]
Bleacher Report is an American digital media company based in San Francisco and covering hundreds of teams and sports around the world.
The company, also known as B/R, specializes in creating and curating content about trending news topics, with an emphasis on delivering opinion-oriented analysis and multimedia programming via varied content formats and mobile technologies.[2][3][4]
Bleacher Report was acquired by Turner Broadcasting System (a subsidiary of Time Warner) in August 2012 for an undisclosed sum reportedly near $200 million.[5]
Bleacher Report was founded in 2007 by David Finocchio, Alexander Freund, Bryan Goldberg, and David Nemetz—four friends and sports fans who had been high school classmates at Menlo School in Atherton, California.[6][7]
Under the Turner corporate umbrella, Finocchio remains at B/R as the unit's General Manager.[8] Goldberg and Nemetz transitioned out of their respective VP roles during the integration process. Freund left the company in 2009.[9]
B/R announced the completion of a round of Series A funding on the occasion of its public launch in February 2008.[10] The undisclosed sum came from Hillsven Capital, Transcoast Capital, and Vimeo founder Jakob Lodwick.
Eight months later, in October 2008, B/R secured $3.5 million in Series B funding from Hillsven, Gordon Crawford, and SoftTech VC.[11] A Series C round in December 2010, led by Crosslink Capital, netted an additional $10.5 million.[12][13]
In August 2011, the company announced a $22 million growth round led by Oak Investment Partners, with participation from Crosslink and Hillsven.[14] At the time, Oak general partner Fred Harman, a board member at both the The Huffington Post and Demand Media, characterized the investment as a bet on B/R's ability to keep pace with real-time fan interest across all forms of social media.[14]
Executive hires
The company named Brian Grey as its Chief Executive Officer in 2010. Grey came to Bleacher Report from leadership roles at Fox Sports Interactive and Yahoo! Sports.[15]
In the first year of Grey's tenure, B/R filled two more executive-level positions, adding Rich Calacci as Chief Revenue Officer and Drew Atherton as Chief Financial Officer. Calacci joined the company in May 2011; Atherton followed a month later in June.[16][17]
Calacci had previously served as CBS Interactive's Senior VP of Sales. Atherton's most recent experience had been at Demand Media, where he was COO and CFO of the company's registrar services division.[8]
B/R's sale to TBS was announced on August 6, 2012. Under the terms of the deal, Grey, Finocchio, Calacci, and CTO Sam Parnell all assumed official Turner Sports titles while retaining their management responsibilities at B/R.[18]
In a press release announcing the purchase, Turner president of sales, distribution, and sports David Levy cited B/R's rapid growth and loyal user base as key factors in his company's decision to make a deal—and also alluded to the potential value of B/R's multimedia platform as an outlet for Turner's various video resources:
|As brand builders and content providers, we were attracted to Bleacher Report's fast growth to a leading marketplace position and a valued consumer destination. The site will continue to innovate and provide users and sports fans with branded news and information. With our expansive digital rights and resources, Turner will further ensure Bleacher Report's continued growth and success.[18]
As part of the integration process, Atherton's CFO responsibilities were assumed by Turner corporate in February 2013, and Grey stepped down from the CEO position in October 2013. Since Grey's departure, Finocchio has headed Bleacher Report in a General Manager capacity.
Forbes.com called Bleacher Report "one of the leaders" among sports startups "figuring out the digital space" in August 2011, noting the company's success in "providing publishing tools to all sorts of knowledgeable sports fans to report and express what they know."[19] B/R was also named one of Time magazine's "50 Best Websites of 2011,"[20] and was picked by Adweek readers as 2011's "Best Sports Media Brand."[21]
Public relations
Early criticism of Bleacher Report stemmed from the network's initial commitment to an open-source publishing model. Such critiques cited the fact that all registered B/R users were permitted to publish articles on the site, arguing that B/R's policy:
- Resulted in a glut of low-quality content, which made it difficult for the network's readers to find credible coverage of their favorite teams and sports.[22]
- Tarnished the reputation of every writer associated with the B/R brand, which made it difficult for the network's more talented contributors to build loyal audiences.[23]
- Empowered unqualified writers without editorial oversight, which compromised the prestige and credibility of the sportswriting profession.[24]
Since abandoning the open-source model in 2010, B/R has been the subject of continued criticism for its exploitation of unpaid contributors, its blanket policy prohibiting writers from breaking their own news, and its high-volume production of low-quality, search-optimized slideshow content.[25][26] These critiques found their strongest voice to date in an October 2012 SF Weekly article, in which tech columnist and entrepreneur Vivek Wadhwa was quoted accusing B/R of "dumbing down of the web" with "custom-manufactured garbage."[26] In December 2012, a lampoon article in The Onion played on the same themes.[27]
Bleacher Report attempted to address the concerns of its early critics by making substantive reforms to its editorial and personnel policies in 2010 and 2011. These reforms were aimed chiefly at the mechanics of B/R's Writer Program, wg emphasis on enhancing quality and credibility by...
- Initiating a formal application process for all prospective writers, wherein only the top 20 percent of candidates earn the right to publish on the site.[28][29]
- Introducing educational resources for new and veteran writers, including the "B/R U" new-media training program.[30]
- Establishing a paid team of Lead Writers to headline the network's sport-specific writer communities.[31]
Although some detractors likened such changes "to spritzing a little room deodorizer after leaving a steaming deposit in the toilet and failing to flush,"[26] apart from a published rebuttal disputing the objectivity and accuracy of the October 2012 SF Weekly article,[32] B/R has not mounted a substantive response to ongoing criticism of its contributor compensation structure, news-breaking policy, or search-optimization strategies.
In 2013, B/R hired National Basketball Association (NBA) reporter Howard Beck from the New York Times. Beck was convinced by B/R that the company was on the verge of transforming its site.[33]

811 Foundation Training Camp
Rochester Hills, MI (July 15, 2013) – After celebrating America's favorite motocross national this past Independence Day weekend at RedBud MX, riders and their families joined the 811 Foundation for their first Rider Training Camp at Baja Acres in Millington, Michigan on Monday, July 8, 2013. The event provided riders with a fun and safe environment—learning valuable lessons from some of our sport's foremost athletes, trainers, and motocross experts.
"We couldn't be happier with the riders and families who turned out for our inaugural event, or more impressed by the way our friends in the motocross industry represented the 811 Foundation and its mission for fostering smarter, safer riders", said 811 Foundation President Bill Lichtle. "Josh would have been very proud."
The 811 Camp comes in the wake of a 2-year celebration of Josh Lichtle's memory, Bill's brother and 27-time amateur motocross champion who passed away on July 4, 2011 after suffering the effects of a heat stroke he sustained while racing the RedBud pro motocross national.
In support of the Lichtle family and their cause, prominent supercross and motocross racers Davi Millsaps and Nico Izzi were joined by Jacob Saylor and Brandon Mays to provide coaching for nearly 50 riders who signed up for the camp. Each rider taught important riding techniques at different stations spread throughout the Baja Acres facility.
"The 811 camp was a good camp. It taught kids the basics and fundamentals of the sport and, not only that, but also awareness of health, nutrition, hydration, and strength", said camp instructor and Rockstar Energy Suzuki rider Davi Millsaps.
Rotating between each station, riders were able to gather in the 811 pavilion and soak up knowledge from various seminar speakers before advancing to the next station. Speakers included RacerX Virtual Trainer contributor Kim Wathen who spoke about the importance of hydration and nutrition; Hookit.com speaker Jacob Saylor advocating rider fellowship and personal branding; and Tech-Care's Tim Bennett on bike setup and maintenance.
"The 811 foundation camp was a complete success", said Nico Izzi. "I personally couldn't give enough back to my big brother Josh and our sport with passing on our knowledge to the younger riders so they can get through the sport as safe as possible."
See what other camp instructors and riders had to say about the inaugural 811 Camp and join the discussion on the new 811 Foundation website, www.811Foundation.com.

You need to put a lot of work in your history essay writing as you need to find relevant information on the subject given and weave it into an interesting read. The challenging part here is having plenty of information to work on but the limited word count. If you are having a hard time writing a cohesive and coherent essay that is filled with relevant information it might be better for you to order a customized essay instead. You don't even have to look far for one because this is what our custom essay writing service is all about.
Tips on History Essay Writing
It is important that you research what has already been said regarding the topic assigned to you so that you will have an idea of what has already been said. Most of the time the history topics are broad so you can always find an angle to write about.
- Stay focused. No matter what history essay questions are assigned to you, it is important that you stay focused. Don't go jumping from one thought to the next because it will confuse your readers.
- Add important details. Any important figure or event that is related to the essay topic that you are writing about should be included in your essay. Historical essays should be based on facts so make sure that you check your source.
- Stay objective. Writing an essay on history isn't necessarily about your opinion but how events have accurately unfolded as well as its impact. Personal feelings can be added but only if you are allowed to do so.
- Follow chronology. Follow a chronological order when writing your essay in history so that your readers can easily follow your essay.
Secrets of How to Make Your History Essay Outstanding
Writing the history essay is entirely different and tricky job as compared to an essay of other subjects due to needing of authentic citations and references to support all the evidence and events written in the essay. Like other subjects, you can't write anything that you want in your history essay. To make your history essay powerful, you have to prove all your wordings with primary and secondary sources along with maintaining the standard structure of the essay. Following are some secrets to make the history essay outstanding:
- Preparation of essay plan. After evaluation of question or topic of your history essay, you have to decide the research source from where you will find the reference material of your essay. After that, you should set out the basic structure of your arguments to maintain the flow of your history essay.
- Primary source of references. It is useless to include any historical event or wording of any history characters without solid reference. The primary sources of your references could be pictures, text, film or any other material that was produced at the age of that historical event.
- Secondary source of references. In case of non-availability of primary sources of citations, you can also support your historical events by means of secondary sources. Secondary source is that historical work which is already published in a historical journal or some authorized book by some famous historian.
- Powerful introduction. The first sentence must be strong enough to grasp the attention of readers towards your essay. In the introduction, you should explain the clear outline of your essay in the form of case study.
- Body of Essay – Development of Argument. Write a separate paragraph for individual elements of essay and consider each paragraph a complete block of your essay. Every block must be ended with the proper conclusion.
- Conclusion. In the conclusion, you should summarize the key points of an essay and conclude the arguments by raising some other questions that must be beyond the scope of your essay topic but lead your essay towards further research.
Writing a History Essay with the Experts
It is understandable that you will need help at one point when writing your essay as you might be bombarded with information that it can be confusing as to which one you're going to use in your paper.

Bruges is a beautiful little town, while Ghent is quite large and very active, and it has been said that "… you get the feeling that this is a city first and tourist destination second, in sharp contrast to Bruges." Getting off the train and making our way into town you could tell that this was going to be a different experience, but not in a bad way.
We had to wander a little to find the tourist information office, but once we did the friendly reception assured us that it was going to be a good day. Armed with our walking tour map and some suggestions on how to get away from the teeming masses, if we so desired, we took off into the overcast, cool, breezy Belgian morning.
In a word, Ghent was delightful. Maybe not as polished as its neighbor 30-minutes to the north, but with more of a feel for what daily life is about in a living museum. We're glad we went to both cities. Enjoy the images.

Refreshing! I could feel the cool crispness in the air with these past few posts. Hopefully autumn is not far off for those of use back in Florida.
Loved the up close shot of the medieval doggie door…
Great pictures. The street with the graffiti was most interesting.
I love the random acts of art you find Chris!

3 New Coasters for Six Flags Magic Mountain?
Screamscape has posted a video that appears to be for a big announcement Six Flags Magic Mountain has planned, though I don't see anything on their site about it quite yet. Still, it looks about as official as they come, and it announces an "epic capital expansion" for the park.
Two new coasters and one that has been heavily refurbished will open in 2011, per the video.
Still, it's great to see Six Flags once again thinking outside the box and adding something new to the American market.
Additionally, the family coaster that was moved to the park from Six Flags New Orleans but not installed in 2010 will open in 2011, though right now it's just being called kid's coaster. Last year it was announced that it would be Mr. Six's Dance Coaster, but that did not pan out.
With new rides added and reopened, Six Flags Magic Mountain will once again steal the "most coasters in one park" title from Cedar Point, as they will have 18 coasters.
I can't wait to hear an official announcement from the park on these exciting plans.

LONDON: With just a few months to go before governments are meant to agree a new global climate deal in Paris, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has re-emphasized the importance and need for "bold and meaningful" climate action.
In a recent speech, the UN chief sought to inject political momentum into a negotiating process that has been criticized for its slow pace, while at the same time underlining the benefits and opportunity of the low carbon economy – a fact that is in line with the views tracked by The Climate Group's Climate Barometer.
Last week, as another round of UN climate talks in Bonn were concluding, the Secretary-General delivered an address centered on two key climate themes. Firstly, the need to accelerate international climate discussions, and secondly, the increasing credibility that the transition to a low carbon economy is financially and economically viable.
In the speech to French ambassadors, Ban Ki-moon stated "there is growing awareness at all levels, in all sectors and in all regions, that there need not be a trade-off between economic growth and addressing climate change. These two objectives can be complementary and mutually reinforcing."
Mark Kenber, CEO of The Climate Group has reinforced Ban Ki-moon's point about the economic case for clean and renewable energies. In a recent interview on Climate TV, our CEO said the view that cutting emissions has a detrimental effect on economic growth is "plainly not the case."
This growing level of confidence in the low carbon economy from business, government and civic society leaders will be showcased in front of world leaders in New York in a few weeks as the seventh annual Climate Week NYC takes place.
Numerous events planned for the week, which is convened by The Climate Group, will promote and reiterate the voices of key leaders in support of the transition toward a sustainable future. The role of cities and regions will be particularly prominent.
In his speech, Ban Ki-moon spoke of the progressive climate action of these sub-national governments by highlighting the success of the Compact of Mayors: "In the past year, 17 cities have signed up to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% by 2050."
Another sub-national collaboration, The Climate Group's States & Region Alliance, which has over 30 members and represents some of the most economically powerful regions in the world, has established a twin initiative called the Compact of States and Regions. The Compact has over 20 sub-national governments and continues to attract new members.
Ban Ki-moon also outlined the important link between tackling climate change and achieving the UN's recently announced sustainable development goals. In his remarks, the Secretary-General noted: "Unless we take urgent action on climate change, we will not achieve sustainable development. All countries and all sectors of society have a role to play."
The link between the UN's 17 sustainable development goals and the climate agenda will be discussed at a variety of events during Climate Week NYC, which is acting as the official collaborative space for climate events in support of the UN Summit to adopt the Post-2015 Development Agenda. The connection this year between sustainable development and climate change further underlines why Climate Week NYC is a key moment in the lead up to Paris.
The extent to which countries, individually and collectively, will meet their development and climate goals will largely depend on the kind of targets and policies they implement as a result of the Paris climate deal.
So far, ahead of Paris, countries representing over 60% of global emissions have submitted their plans for climate action, known as Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs). Based on the level of submissions, the UN Secretary-General stated he is "cautiously optimistic" in achieving a bold and meaningful new agreement at Paris but that "all countries and all sectors of society have a role to play."
According to the Secretary-General, a strong climate deal must be:
Concluding his remarks, Ban Ki-moon rallied all actors to "continue to demand that global leaders act on climate change and secure an ambitious, universal agreement" and warned that a global climate deal must send a "strong signal that the world is committed to a low carbon future, and there is no going back."

Contamination investigation: RAAF host public meeting
THE public meeting will be held today.
A PUBLIC meeting will be held next month on the investigation into the potential environmental impact of chemicals at the RAAF base, Amberley.
The meeting comes a year after investigations started into a number of Queensland bases where fire-fighting foams had been used and feared leaked into the ground water supply.
This week, the Department of Defence has invited Ipswich residents to a community meeting to find out more about the detailed environmental investigation at Amberley.
In a public notice the Department of Defence said the Community Walk-in Sessions would "provide local residents and business owners with an opportunity to find out information about the detailed environmental investigation and to ask questions".
The Defence Force has previously confirmed the chemicals in question, perfluoralkyl and polyluoralkyl, had been used on and around the RAAF base.
>>RAAF Amberley under investigation for contamination
The chemicals do not break down in the environment and revelations they had been used on Queensland bases left residents wondering if they had been exposed to harmful substances.
The chemicals were used in fire-fighting foams world-wide from the mid-1970s until the mid-2000s, including at the RAAF Amberley base.
Members of the Defence Force, as well as key government department figures, will be at the public meeting.
There are two sessions being held on Wednesday, March 8; one in the afternoon and one during the evening.
When: Wednesday, March 8
Where: Ipswich City Council Civic Centre, Cunningham Room, Limestone St and Nicholas St, Ipswich.
Session 1: 2pm doors open, finishing at 4pm.
Sessions 2: 5pm doors open, finishing at 7pm.
RSVP: 1800 365 414 or email@example.com before Monday March 6.
Light refreshments will be provided.
