Rambling Romance, And The Art Of Falling In Love
Dan Tye January 30, 2012 0
"FOR many of our members, walking has not only meant getting outdoors, getting healthy and keeping active – relationships and friendships have blossomed and communities of shared interest and companionship have been formed," says Simon Barnett, the Head of Walking Programmes and Promotions at the Ramblers.
A romantic walk is one of the best ways to create a memorable day at at any point of the year, not just on Valentines Day (our favourites are coastal, cliff top walks). This year the Ramblers are actively promoting many of their amazing walks for us to go out on. And we needn't be with a loved one to enjoy them as singles are being asked to join in groups walks taking place.
Here's a few Ramblers who have found either friendship, love or wedding bells – all through walking.
Sarah Wise & Sean Doel, Metropolitan Walkers London
SARAH: "I've been a member of Metropolitan Walkers for nearly three years now and Sean has been a member for a little bit longer. I met Sean on my second walk and we gradually got to know each other over the next few months, walking with the group as often as possible in the hope of bumping into each other. We got engaged at Christmas 2010 and married in October 2011. We walk regularly with the group as we have made so many friends there and had around 50 Met Walkers at our wedding. We also had hen and stag walks where the girls went off in one direction and the boys in the other, meeting up at the end. I can't recommend Met Walkers enough as a way to meet people – both friends and partners. Some of my closest friends are people I've met through the group and I've lost track of the number of couples there are now. We are going to two Met Walker weddings this year alone. Walking is a great way to meet people. You can get to know people in a non confrontational way over the course of a lovely long day in the sun, interspersed with pints of cider. It's a great opportunity to meet people outside of the normal conventional circles like work, friends of friends etc and Met Walkers themselves hold a wide variety of interesting jobs; pub conversations are never dull. As well as having lots of our fellow walkers at our wedding we tried hard to have an outdoorsy theme, which reflected how we met, and the way we spend our time. We married on a farm, well served by public footpaths. Our tables were all named after peaks we had climbed in England, with us sitting at Scafell Pike. Our favours were Grasmere gingerbread, which we love from our trips to the Lake District, and of course our cake had a walking boot made of icing as the top tier."
Lesley and Will French, Ealing
LESLEY: "I'd like to say I met my husband through walking, but it wouldn't be true. In fact, back then, walking was something you did when you missed the night bus home and no-one sensible did it for fun. Both of us had always wanted to travel and after a few years of diligent saving, we set off to travel round the world. It took us three years, and by the end of it we both loved walking. Our first real walking experience was in Nepal: the sight of the snowy Himalayan peaks beaming down at us convinced us to give it a go. I still have my 1977 Trekking Permit from His Majesty's Government of Nepal. We walked the Helambu trek from Kathmandu to the Tarke Gyang monastery at 9000 feet. My diary mentions 2000ft ascents in one day, beautiful views, scary suspension bridges and washing in icy rivers. We stayed every night in tea houses, where we ate dhal and rice, and slept on the floor. It was lovely, if exhausting. In South America we did the Inca trail to Macchu Pichu in just two days, just the two of us, no guides or porters. It was a totally magical 26 miles, climbing up Inca staircases to misty mountain passes at 13,000 feet, and then down to valleys full of brightly coloured flowers and humming birds. Will's feet developed blisters, so he ended up doing the last bit in my flip flops. Who says you need expensive equipment to go walking? These days we go on more sedate walks – most weekends we go out for a 10 mile ramble, usually stopping at one of the many delightful Chilterns pubs. We also do long distance walks in our holidays and have recently completed the 630 mile South West Coast path from Poole to Minehead, a totally magical experience. Walking takes you to places you can't reach any other way: we intend to keep on forever."
Jean & Mike Murphy, Redbridge Ramblers
JEAN: "Mike and I have been walking with the Ramblers for at least 20 years but not always together. As a divorced mother of two I found walking to be a wonderful way to relax and meet new friends and Mike, as a widower, experienced the same. So, it happened that about 15 years ago we would "bump into each other" on walks, each of us belonging to different groups which occasionally did a joint venture by coach or holiday. Over a period of time we found that we shared a variety of interests and of course, most of all, loved our walking. In the year 2000 we started to share more of our life together, culminating in our marriage in 2001. There was no romantic proposal on a windy hill in Devon … more a kind of "knowing" that this was what we both wanted and that it was the most natural thing in the world. But our honeymoon was a different matter – we spent it in the Lake District walking with a dozen or so other friends and it included the scaling of Striding Edge. Since these heady days we have enjoyed many long-distance paths, walking holidays and local walks. One of the earliest long-distance paths we walked was the North Norfolk Coastal Path and this remains one of our strongest memories – for its peace and tranquillity and amazing skies. I often joke now with Mike that when we got married I not only had to take his name but also his walking group – since of course it made sense to be joint members of one group rather than belonging to two separate groups. The sacrifice has been well worth it, especially since I have stipulated that part of the "marriage contract" includes the cleaning of my boots."
Barbara and Harry
BARBARA: "Is walking romantic? Yes, so many have found – proof of this was when I met my husband Harry. Looking back to the 1940's after the war, "Keep fit and healthy clubs" were popular and I had joined my local Ramblers club in North West London after moving from Cardiff. I met Harry in 1955 – I was aged 33 then and he was 40 and hailed from Bradford. We came together through a monthly musical appreciation event, organised by another Rambler called Joe. I liked the look of Harry but wasn't sure if he felt the same, but after one of these events he asked to escort me back to Queens Park station and asked me out to the theatre to see "Under Milk Wood". We never looked back after that and although we kept our courtship secret everybody in the club knew. We married in 1957 and in the same year so did another 5 couples from the same Rambling club. We had a son called Chris in 1963 and now he works for The Ramblers. We did so many walks together, every weekend with friends in our Club – mainly in The Chilterns but also lots of other areas, especially the Lake District and the Dales where Harry still had his family. I am now 88 and still taking a short daily walk planned where I know I can sit occasionally and the staff in the home where I live think this is wonderful or daft depending on the weather. The easiest way to settle in a new area is to join a rambling club. All over the country there are friendly clubs – you are anonymous on joining and instantly you will have "a friend". Whilst walking and chatting you can easily find someone with similar interests – music, books, films or travel. I am still in touch with some old friends from my Club and I am thankful that over the years I have explored the UK and have so many happy memories and photos. The beauty of the countryside makes for romance. Life is there to enjoy."
James and Liz's story, Metropolitan Walkers London
JAMES: "I'd been walking with the Metropolitan Walkers for about four months when I was introduced to Liz at the start of a walk by a mutual friend, Sarah. Liz had been going for a while longer but far more sporadically, though we both readily now admit that one of the main reasons we both started walking in a group was the possibility of meeting someone. I guess I was just trying a bit harder. If you'd told me when we first met at Horsley station that I would end up marrying the frumpy-looking girl in the oversized ski jacket and sunglasses then I would probably have laughed. Luckily her personality shone through and the awful jacket soon came off (note – do not judge someone too quickly in their walking clothes). Around seven hours of walking and chatting later I was pretty smitten, but it still took a phone call from Sarah to encourage Liz to come out the following week to see if the feeling was mutual. After another seven hours chatting on a Watton-at-Stone circular walk, I'm glad to say it was. And therein lies the beauty of group walking – when you meet someone and start to connect, the hours just fly by. Plus I found that chatting side by side rather than face to face helps get around any worrying about eye contact and body language. That was nearly three years ago and we're getting married in June. We always try to incorporate walking into any holiday we go on and that will include the honeymoon too hopefully. Since we met we've continued to walk with the group and the few walks we do alone are recces for leading walks ourselves to give something back to the group. Our favourite walks are those which end in a great pub with great company and our group provides plenty of those."
Kim Burke from Glasgow Young Walkers
KIM: "I decided to start hillwalking almost four years ago and found the Glasgow Young Walkers online and joined them and the Ramblers Association. After a few walks and getting to know people, I met Colm whilst walking a section of the West Highland Way. It was one of our groups most popular walks and there were loads of people but we couldn't stop talking to each other. On a pretty memorable walk that included great scenery and even a glimpse of Sir Jimmy Saville, I hadn't forgotten my good chats with Colm and on our group's following social, he asked me out. We've been together since then and we are now engaged to be married this coming September, our walking groups first wedding! Needless to say we are inviting people from our group including our chairwoman and matchmaker, Seonaid. We're even looking into ramblers cake toppers as well. I have joined my walking group's committee to help give back after everything walking with the group has given me as well as a great way for me to get fit and explore Scotland."
Taking a few quotes from all of those stories and we can see what walking can do for us:
"Some of my closest friends are people I've met through the group and I've lost track of the number of couples there are now."
"Walking takes you to places you can't reach any other way: we intend to keep on forever."
"Therein lies the beauty of group walking – when you meet someone and start to connect, the hours just fly by."
And finally, our favourite, "The beauty of the countryside makes for romance. Life is there to enjoy."

Guess who won the BVEC Tournament!
The DePue Junior High 8th Grade Girls Basketball team won the BVEC Tournament on Saturday, February 9th. They played Neponset in Neponset for the Championship. DePue came from behind to win it all. There was an amazing DePue audience there supporting them throughout the game. The victory was even sweeter since Neponset had beat DePue twice already. The girls credit their strong defense for the win. It was a great way to finish off this winning season.
Jose Rios is taking time away from his "Fortnite" endeavors to contribute to making the news team great. Rios is looking forward to getting out into the school and community and investigating current events through his hard hitting interviews.
Another Rios on the News Team is the persuasive and determined people-person, Makade Rios. Makade has used these skills in the past to become one of the top-selling fundraisers at DePue school. This year, the future investor and entrepreneur looks forward to using these skills not only to outsell his main competitor, Lily Learned, but also to report on the issues that matter most to DePue students.
Next up is Aaron Davis. Davis has been looking for an outlet for his creative energy for some time now, and hopes the News Team will be the perfect fit for him. He is also determined to use the language skills he will be practicing on the News Team to convince Ms. Richards to let him be the track manager this Spring. Good Luck, Aaron!
The fourth member of the DePue News Team is Giovanni "Gio" Quintana. Although his first love is video games, Quintana also enjoys the outdoors and looks forward to being an on-the-scene reporter for Homecoming events, soccer games, and any other stories that will get him outside.
For Julisa "Julie" Perez, the answer to any question is "Basketball." What is her favorite sport? What is her favorite thing about school? What is she most excited to report on as a member of the News Team? You guessed it.
Last but not least is another member of the Girls' Spartan Basketball team: Guadalupe "Lupita" Hurtado. Aside from basketball, Hurtado also runs track and participates in student council. When she isn't busy with these extracurriculars, she likes to spend time with her brothers, Jose and Angel. Because she is so involved with the school and has a brother in high school as well as a brother in grade school, Hurtado will naturally be a knowledgeable reporter.


Could someone please direct me to where (if possible) I can affect the envelope of the grains. I'm looking to have a shorter attack, more glitchy.
I like the Segmenti style envelope that would be a great enhancement, but changing some values in PD would be fine.
All of the 'grains' pass through a Hanning window. If you open up main.pd you will see the object on the right side. Click into it and draw on graph to change envelope. Use the PD 'Save' command to save it so it reloads your preferred envelope.

On Sunday mornings my husband and I have a routine. I get up a tad earlier than him so our chocolate lab, Ginger, has time to be out and about before we leave for church. I sit outside for a bit then come inside to eat my oats and blueberries. Sometimes I turn on Dr. Charles Stanley's broadcast. I have to say I don't care for most spiritual type TV shows. I feel many are not true to what God teaches and some are clearly not speaking Truth. However, my mama listened every morning in her later years to ones that taught the Word and were encouraging to her.
I enjoy Dr. Stanley because you can tell how much he loves God and wants others to know God as he does. He doesn't beat around the bush and he is not a fancy or showy man. No flashing lights or power points...just the Word spoken in his quiet southern drawl.
That is my kind of teacher. Speak the Truth. Clear and concise as God intended.
This past Sunday someone interviewed Dr. Stanley. I missed the first few minutes but it was Dr. Stanley's 85th birthday. He was talking about retirement. He said he never wanted to be a famous person. The interviewer said he felt Dr. Stanley was a humble man.
The main thing Dr. Stanley said that stuck out to me was that if he had one thing he wanted to be remembered for it would be that he was a man that desired God.
Ahhh to be know for that. One does not need riches or fame or power. These are not eternal. But to be known for desiring God, loving Him, serving Him and yearning for Him. The creator of the universe, the eternal One. I desire that others would see me as a person who desires God. Yes. Dr. Stanley you have the right perspective. The best priority.
I love Psalm 63. "O God, You are my God;; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You. In a dry and weary land where there is no water. Thus I have beheld You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your glory. Because Your loving kindness is better than life, My lips will praise You. So I will bless You as long as I live."

Growing up spending a lot of time working in the garage with his dad, Johnathan Otterbein, Class of 2020, has been interested in how things work from a young age. Because of this, it only made sense that he chose to be a mechanical engineering major at Grand Valley. He appreciates many aspects of the program, such as the emphasis on hands-on learning, getting to work on exciting projects like building robots, and gaining real-world experiences through the required co-op. The engineering program also offers extracurriculars like the solar racing team, which Johnathan has been the Lead Design Officer of for two years.
Johnathan explained that the addition of the Innovation Design Center has been a huge improvement for the solar racing team. They're now able to have their own space in the building, whereas before they were sharing a space with Grand Valley's formula racing team Continue Reading

Apple Launches Repair Program for Faulty MacBook and MacBook Pro Keyboards
Friday June 22, 2018 3:11 pm PDT by Juli Clover
Apple today launched a keyboard repair program for MacBook and MacBook Pro models equipped with butterfly keys to address complaints over letters or characters that repeat unexpectedly, letters or characters that do not appear, and keys that feel "sticky" or do not respond in a consistent manner.
According to Apple, a "small percentage" of MacBook and MacBook Pro keyboards from 2015 to 2017 can experience these symptoms.
Apple says that customers can bring an affected MacBook or MacBook Pro into an Apple retail store or to an Apple Authorized Service Provider to receive repairs free of charge, with the type of service to be determined after the keyboard has been examined.
Repairs may include the replacement of one or more keys or the entire keyboard. Eligible MacBook and MacBook Pro models are listed below:
MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015)
MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2016)
MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, 2017)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016)
No other MacBook or MacBook Pro models are included in the program, but it does cover eligible MacBook and MacBook Pro models for four years after the first retail sale of the unit.
To initiate the repair process, customers should find an Apple Authorized Service Provider, make an appointment at an Apple retail store, or mail the device into an Apple Repair Center after contacting Apple support. Apple says that if the affected MacBook or MacBook Pro has damage that impairs service, the issue will need to be repaired first.
Repair documents for Apple Authorized Service Providers seen by MacRumors suggest Apple will repair MacBook and MacBook Pro regardless of keyboard damage due to attempted keycap repair by the customer or physical top case damage unrelated to the keyboard. Liquid damage and physical keyboard damage unrelated to a keycap repair will require additional work to be paid for by the customer before a keyboard repair can be initiated.
Customers who experienced keyboard problems but were forced to pay out-of-warranty repair fees for their damaged MacBook or MacBook Pro models can contact Apple to inquire about a refund. In some cases, repairs for keyboard issues were priced at upwards of $500.
Apple's decision to offer a repair program follows increasing customer dissatisfaction with the failure rate of the first and second-generation butterfly keyboards in the 2015 and later MacBook models and the 2016 and later MacBook Pro models.
Customer complaints have suggested that these models experience issues more often than prior keyboards due to the flatter butterfly keys that adopt dome switches for a more responsive feel. The design of these keyboards can cause keys to fail when dust or other small particles get into the keys, leading to the "sticky" and non-responsive keys Apple describes above.
Apple is facing two potential class action lawsuits over the defective keyboards in recent MacBook and MacBook Pro models from customers who were forced to pay high prices for out-of-warranty repairs. Thousands of customers also signed a Change.org petition calling on Apple to fix the keyboard issues that are being addressed with the new repair program.

Surprise, surprise. There IS something wrong with the keyboards like we all knew there was. Typical Apple - blame their customers, blame their users blame EVERYBODY else but their poor design choices.
jonblatho
It's brilliant that they finally started a free repair program for this. Many people thought they wouldn't but it was starting to get out of hand. Although it shouldn't have been an issue in the first place. The 2018 models don't have this issue due to the mechanism used.
The 2018 models don't have this issue because they don't exist.
sracer
Regardless of what the haters will say, this is good customer service. Thank you Apple!
I have a distorted view of good customer service. My definition of "good customer service" entails a company making good on addressing a manufacturing defect without the need to threaten a class-action lawsuit. But I'm odd that way.
redheeler
I'm not surprised by this. The threat of a class action is usually what it takes...

text:
Marie Jaëll, née Trautmann le  à Steinseltz, au nord de l'Alsace et morte le  à Paris ( arrondissement), est une pianiste, compositrice et pédagogue française. Son mari, Alfred Jaëll, qu'elle épouse en 1866 est également pianiste virtuose de renommée européenne. Les deux époux tiennent un salon, dans leur appartement, dans lequel se presse le tout Paris.

Biographie

Enfant prodige, Marie Trautmann bénéficia d'une formation musicale tout d'abord en Allemagne, de par la proximité alsacienne, puis au Conservatoire de Paris où elle obtint brillamment le Premier prix en 1862, après seulement 4 mois de cours.

En 1866, elle épousa Alfred Jaëll, également pianiste et de 14 ans son ainé. Son époux a un vaste réseau de relations : Brahms, Liszt, Rubinstein.

La futur compositrice suit les enseignements (composition) de César Franck et de Camille Saint-Saëns.

Alfred refuse le poste, très enviable, de directeur de l'école de musique de Leipzig, par amour pour sa femme. Les relations diplomatiques entre la France et l'Allemagne se tendent, à la suite de la défaite française de 1870. Alfred Jaëll meurt des suites d'un diabète à 49 ans. Marie Jaëll est veuve à 35 ans.

La compositrice est également connue comme pianiste virtuose, mais c'est la composition qui la passionne. Saint-Saëns écrit :« Mme Marie Jaëll ne veut plus que l'on parle de son talent de pianiste. Elle en est rassasiée et ne vise qu'à la haute composition. Ses premiers essais ont été tumultueux, excessifs, quelque chose comme l'irruption d'un torrent dévastateur ». Elle est adulée de son vivant avec plusieurs concerts mémorables où l'interprète joue l'intégrale des œuvres pour pianos de Liszt, l'intégrale des sonates de Beethoven (une première en France) et des sonates de Schumann.

Compositrice reconnue et appréciée, Marie Jaëll se consacra aussi de manière originale à l'étude de la technique pianistique : elle se livre à une analyse très poussée du toucher. En 1896, elle publie, la musique et la psychophilologie.

Mettant à contribution les outils que les sciences neuro-psychologiques qui se développaient à l'époque lui offraient, elle mena des recherches très précises pour connaître le potentiel de la main humaine, mettant à profit l'aide du Dr Charles Féré, médecin physiologiste à l'hôpital Bicêtre à Paris. Mettant l'accent sur l'importance du développement des facultés mentales et des capacités auditives et visuelles du musicien, elle propose une méthode d'enseignement du piano toujours pratiquée : Le toucher : enseignement du piano basé sur la physiologie (1899). Elle a laissé près d'une dizaine d'ouvrages qui précisent et détaillent sa pensée.

Elle est inhumée au cimetière de Passy ( division).

Fonds
Ses élèves, à sa mort, continuent de perpétuer son enseignement mais son œuvre musicale reste confidentielle au début du . Les archives de la musicienne ont été données par sa famille à la Bibliothèque nationale et universitaire de Strasbourg où elles peuvent être consultées librement, dont une partie peut l'être en ligne. Presque complètes, on y trouve aussi bien les ouvrages et partitions musicales publiés que les manuscrits en partie inédits, des portraits et des photographies de leurs relations. La correspondance de la musicienne reflète le monde musical de l'époque de Marie Jaëll.

Un buste de la compositrice se trouve aussi dans le Fonds Jaëll. Le sculpteur Philippe Besnard en est l'auteur. À partir de cette œuvre, le fondeur Claude Valsuani a édité le buste en bronze comme en atteste la marque de fabrique datée de 1921 apposée à l'arrière de la tête.

Parcours biographique

 1855 : premier concert, à l'âge de 9 ans, en présence d'Ignaz Moscheles qui lui promet un grand avenir.
 1856 : Henri Herz, professeur au Conservatoire de Paris, la prend sous son aile ; elle commence en parallèle une série de tournées de concerts à travers l'Allemagne, la Suisse, l'Alsace, à Paris et en Angleterre. Enfant prodige, sa renommée est grandissante.
 1862 : Marie Trautmann devient officiellement étudiante au Conservatoire de Musique de Paris et obtient le Premier prix de piano la même année.
 1866 : Elle épouse Alfred Jaëll, pianiste de renommée internationale et de 14 ans son ainé, ami de Liszt, Brahms et Camille Saint-Saëns. Ils vont continuer ensemble une série de concerts à travers toute l'Europe jusqu'en Russie en contribuant à faire connaître les œuvres des grands compositeurs tels que Brahms, Liszt, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn et Reinecke.
 1871-1900 : Marie Jaëll compose de nombreux morceaux de musique qu'elle présente à la Société Nationale de Paris et s'impose parmi une société de compositeur très largement masculine.

 1887 : Marie Jaëll est admise à la Société des Compositeurs de Musique de Paris comme « membre actif » sur proposition de C. Saint-Saëns et G. Fauré.

'Walking Dead,' 'Mentalist,' football: this weekend
College and professional football probably will score the biggest ratings this weekend. Yet there are some big deals in scripted programming. The weekend's highlights:
"The Walking Dead," 9 p.m. Sunday, AMC
The zombie drama offers its midseason finale, then takes a break until Feb. 8. "Rules and morals have been tossed aside by new enemies," AMC says in a preview. "Rick will try to find a peaceful agreement, but they might prefer violence." Fans should brace themselves for a lot of emotion. "Talking Dead," the discussion show hosted by Chris Hardwick, follows at 10 p.m. It will be mandatory viewing for fans because the guests include executive producer Robert Kirkman. "Talking Dead" also welcomes "Key & Peele" actor Keegan-Michael Key and a cast member from "Dead." Who could that be?
"The Mentalist," 9:30 p.m. Sunday (time approximate), CBS
The detective drama returns to start its final season of 13 episodes. Fans will want to see how the unconventional romance of Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) and Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney) is taking shape. This fan found it poignant and charming. Please note: "The Mentalist" is filling in for "The Good Wife," which returns Jan. 4. Then "The Mentalist" will shift to 8 p.m. Wednesdays to fill in for "Survivor."

"Madam Secretary," 8:30 p.m. Sunday (time approximate), CBS
This hit drama offers its fall finale, then takes a break until a Jan. 4 return. The intrigue about the previous secretary of state's death will propel the hour. The previews indicate Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord (Téa Leoni) and Russell Jackson (Zeljko Ivanek), the president's chief of staff, will have a showdown.
"Once Upon a Time," 8 p.m. Sunday, ABC
The networks used to take off the weekend after Thanksgiving. No more. ABC offers new installments of its Sunday dramas, starting with "Once Upon a Time." Elizabeth Mitchell ("Lost") returns as the Snow Queen, and Storybrooke braces for the Spell of Shattered Sight.
"Sunday Night Football," 8 p.m. Sunday, NBC
NBC has the Denver Broncos playing at the Kansas City Chiefs. Coverage starts at 7 p.m., and the ratings are likely to be huge. But a CBS game -- New England at Green Bay at 4 p.m. Sunday -- may put up bigger numbers. That game is the reason the CBS schedule will start a half-hour later than usual. Keep in mind, though, that the schedule will probably start later than that.

When a corporation undertakes a research engine optimization method, regardless of whether it is executed in-residence or outsourced to an Search engine marketing support, most of the interest (and rightly so) is targeted on the business web site. This is the 1 component exactly where there is a emotion of management–after a website is launched into the wild, the company will have to see how its site fares in opposition to all the other web-sites out there, irrespective of whether the other web pages are making use of moral Search engine marketing strategies or not.
To start off with, let's define opponents. Almost every single enterprise has at the very least a handful of other corporations that it considers to be major opponents–the kinds that market the similar goods and companies, that are of related sizing, and so on. It is vital that the Search engine optimization initiatives (or lack thereof) of these competition, no matter whether they are employing moral Search engine optimisation methods or not, be monitored on a plan basis. If they have not hired an Website positioning services of their have, or if they have not began carrying out Web optimization in-property at all, you will have peace of intellect recognizing that the use of this channel, for the instant, is yours. If your competition commence an Website positioning campaign, with or with no an exterior Search engine optimisation assistance, you can find out much about their revenue and internet marketing techniques by evaluating the keyphrases that they concentrate on. And you can also look into whether they are utilizing moral Search engine optimization techniques in their marketing campaign.
If you cherished this informative article and also you desire to obtain more details about orank's domain generously check out our own web-site.
It really is essential to retain in thoughts that it is not likely that searchers are likely to come to a decision only between you and the main competition you have mentioned. They are going to contemplate any organization that matches their unique demands and that shows up for their lookup expression. This is why your standards for a competitor on line must broaden to encompass any corporation that presents goods or providers like yours that outranks you for any of your focused keyphrases. If your in-household staff or your Seo assistance not only continually monitors your search engine positions but also analyzes the corporations that show up earlier mentioned you in research outcomes, you can typically discover ahead-on the lookout competitors of which you had been beforehand unaware–your main competitors of tomorrow.
This brings us to the key challenge of moral Web optimization. Lookup motor optimization is nonetheless a quite new thought to most firms. Even the most respected providers can make blunders in this arena, possibly by picking out the erroneous Search engine optimisation assistance, or by hoping to stay away from hiring an Search engine optimisation support altogether by bringing it in residence with very well-intentioned but unqualified persons. For example, BMW's German web page was not too long ago taken out temporarily from the Google index for applying doorway internet pages–anything that is not regarded an ethical Search engine optimization practice. It stands to cause that your competition are also not immune to violations.

When you start a business, you tend to make decisions by following your nose.
You take the advice of the last person you spoke to, you follow courses of action that seem like the most interesting, and you most likely live from hand to mouth.
While you're finding your business feet, that's fine. However, sooner or later you have to move into a way of running your business that is actually a bit more – well – businesslike.
I've discovered that it's almost impossible to run a serious, profitable business without Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and, if you've been in business for more than a year or two and you don't have these, the chances are you're artificially keeping yourself and your business in the 'start-up' phase.
KPI provides a snapshot of what your business will look like, in terms of hard figures, when you achieve your current vision. Once this vision is boiled down into specific, reachable goals and next steps, they are fed into your KPI dashboard, where you can track them and monitor what's going on.
You need a mixture of both 'lag' and 'lead' indicators – that is, the results you've already achieved, and the figures that represent your forecasts or predictions. In other words, you know where you're going, and you know how much progress you've made towards that destination.
For example, KPIs for your profit margin, cash flow, and maybe measurements like customer satisfaction rates, or staff performance. The performance indicators you choose to measure should be those that indicate the results you're looking for – that is, they are 'key'.
They can be represented by graphs, spreadsheets, or pie charts. If they're going to be made public in some way, you can use percentages rather than pounds and pence, to preserve confidentiality.
If running a KPI dashboard sounds like something only huge, corporate businesses might do, don't be fooled. Whatever the size of your business, you need to have your finger on its pulse. Your KPIs could cover one side of a sheet of A4 paper – they're still an invaluable part of your business success.
Or to put it another way, when you're running a business, you need to define where you're going, plan how you're going to get there, track your progress and report back to yourself on how it's going.


Twenty-four Boer crossbred yearling wethers (23.5 ± 2.31 kg initial BW) were used to determine effects of stepwise increases in dietary level of Eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana) foliage (CF), compared with a constant relatively high level and subsequent availability of low-quality forage, on present and later consumption of CF. Animals were penned individually in Phases 1 (8 wk) and 3 (2 wk), and during Phase 2 (6 wk) wethers were kept in a pasture not containing cedar trees and were fed wheat hay. In Phase 1 a concentrate-based diet (CBD, 12.6% CP and 35.5% NDF) was offered at approximately 85% of the maintenance energy requirement alone (Control) or with weekly stepwise (Step) increases in level of substitution of CF for CBD (0, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25% in wk 1-8, respectively; DM basis) or substitution of 25% CF in wk 2-8 (Set). In Phase 3 (2 wk), all wethers were offered the diet of 75% CBD and 25% CF as previously, without or with separate free-choice access to low-quality grass hay. CF was harvested weekly, refrigerated and hand-mixed with CBD prior to feeding. In Phase 1, intake of CF as a percentage of that offered was greater (P < 0.05) for Step vs. Set in wk 3-8 (wk 3: 86 and 48; wk 4: 89 and 56; wk 5: 90 and 71; wk 6: 96 and 81; wk 7: 93 and 63; wk 8: 96 and 84), although CF intake as g/day was greater (P < 0.05) for Set vs. Step in all but wk 7 and 8. In Phase 3, CBD intake was similar among treatments, and hay intake when offered averaged 149, 134 and 124 g/day for Step, Set and Control, respectively. For wethers not receiving hay, CF intake as g/day for Step was greatest among treatments (P < 0.05) but was not different from treatments with offered hay (67, 37, 30, 55, 53 and 56 g/day for Step, Set and Control without and with hay, respectively; SE = 7.1). Similarly, CF intake as a percentage of that offered ranked (P < 0.05) Step > Set > Control without hay, but was not different between Step without hay and treatments with hay (78, 41, 34, 61, 57 and 60% for Step, Set and Control without and with hay, respectively; SE = 7.6). Concentrations of various blood constituents at the end of Phases 1 and 3 did not indicate adverse health effects of CF consumption. In conclusion, gradual increases in dietary level of CF deserve further research as a potential means to elevate present and future CF consumption, with attention also directed to effects of type and level of other feedstuffs offered.

CNN Poll: Obama approval falls amid controversies
Washington (CNN) - President Barack Obama's approval rating dropped eight percentage points over the past month, to 45%, the president's lowest rating in more than a year and a half, according to a new national poll.
The CNN/ORC International survey released Monday morning comes as the White House has been reacting to controversies over a massive U.S. government surveillance program; the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of tea party and other conservative groups who applied for tax-exempt status; the administration's handling of last September's attack in Benghazi that left the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three other Americans dead; and the Justice Department's secret collection of journalists' phone records as part of a government investigation into classified leaks.
The poll indicates that for the first time in Obama's presidency, half of the public says they don't believe he is honest and trustworthy. And Americans are split on the controversial National Security Agency anti-terrorism program to record metadata on U.S. phone calls, but they support the NSA program that targets records of Internet usage by people in other countries. That doesn't mean they necessarily like what is going on: Just over six in 10 believe that government is so large and powerful that it threatens the rights and freedoms of ordinary Americans.
A slight majority of those questioned in the poll, which was conducted Tuesday through Thursday of last week, disapprove of the actions of the man who leaked sensitive information about the NSA program. A similar number say Edward Snowden, who fled to Hong Kong, should be brought back to the United States and prosecuted.
What the approval drop means for Obama
The president's approval rating stands at 45%, down from 53% in mid-May. And 54% say they disapprove of how Obama's handling his job, up nine points from last month. It's the first time in CNN polling since November 2011 that a majority of Americans have had a negative view of the president.
"The drop in Obama's support is fueled by a dramatic 17-point decline over the past month among people under 30, who, along with black Americans, had been the most loyal part of the Obama coalition," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
The president also dropped 10 points among independent voters, from 47% last month to 37% now, with Obama's disapproval among independents jumping 12 points to 61%.
What's behind the drop?
"It is clear that revelations about NSA surveillance programs have damaged Obama's standing with the public, although older controversies like the IRS matter may have begun to take their toll as well," adds Holland.
Details on NSA-thwarted plots coming, lawmaker says
Six in 10 disapprove of how Obama is handling government surveillance of U.S. citizens, which is higher than the 52% who disapproved of George W. Bush on the same issue in 2006, when government surveillance was also in the headlines.
Obama's approval rating on terrorism, although still above 50%, has taken a 13-point hit since mid-May. By contrast, his approval rating on domestic issues such as the economy, immigration and the deficit only dropped by two to four points, within the poll's sampling error.
Views of Obama's personal characteristics have also declined.
The number of Americans who think he is honest has dropped nine points over the past month, to 49%. Fifty-seven percent of those questioned say they disagree with the president's views on the size and power of the federal government, and 53% say he cannot manage the government effectively. Fifty-two percent say the president is a strong and decisive leader. That's still a majority, but it's down six points from last month.
Cheney defends NSA, calls Obama's credibility 'nonexistent'
Forty-three percent of the public says that the Obama administration has gone too far in restricting civil liberties to fight terrorism, with 38% saying the administration has been about right and 17% saying it has not gone far enough.
"That's roughly the same reaction that the public had to the Bush administration in 2006 when the details of a similar program to gather phone records were made public," says Holland.
Fifty-one percent say the current NSA program to gather phone records is the right thing to do. By comparison, 54% felt that way about the Bush-era program back in 2006. Two thirds say they feel that the current NSA program on Internet usage is right.
More than six in 10 say the government has collected their phone or Internet data. What is the government doing with all of this information?
Just 8% of all Americans think the government has collected their personal data and is using it to investigate them. Just over half say they think the government has collected their data and stored it somewhere without analyzing it, and one third say they believe that government has not collected and stored any of their personal phone or Internet records.
WH: Obama not violating privacy; Snowden's whereabouts unknown
As for Snowden, 52% disapprove of his actions, with 44% saying they approve of the leaks by the former government contractor. Fifty-four percent say the government should attempt to bring Snowden back to the U.S. and prosecute him for his actions.
Documents Snowden provided to journalists revealed the existence of the secret NSA programs to collect records of domestic telephone calls in the United States and the Internet activity of overseas residents. Snowden, who fled to Hong Kong, was fired from his position at the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton earlier this month. The FBI is investigating the leaks.
The poll was conducted for CNN by ORC International June 11 to 13, with 1,014 adults nationwide questioned by telephone. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points.

45%? Is it that high? I figured it would be arround 30%
We elected a president base on symbolism. God help us all.

Yay! The brilliant strategists at the Republican Party have ruined Obama's chances of winning in 2016. Keep up the good work!
Farrok
The Presidents attack on 2nd Amendment Rights is political poison. It was a serious political error.
WOW finally the country is waking up. Obama is by far the worst president of all time. He has done nothing but divided the country and go golf.
I must say I am quite surprised CNN ran an article like this, let alone putting it on the front page. President Obama is no different than most of the politicians in Washington-out of touch. If both sides (Liberals and Ultra Conservatives) would realize that "extremism" is not the answer to resolving our problems, but instead is a core systemic deficiency that simply manifest and highlights the very serious problem we face in this Democracy of ours–career politicians! Until we face the realities that plague our Government, we will continue to have the same dialogue every year and the "hope" and "change" will simply be historical words used by politicians to be elected. We must rise up as a country and demand that there no longer be career politicians and instead a very strict term limit on all Congressmen and Supreme Court Justices. Of course this will not solve all the problems, but I'm sure you would all agree it is a good start for "hope" and "change."
Qvilleman
Why were all these Americans so fooled? Did they think they would show the world by electing a black man? It actually backfired. He never had credibility to lead a country. He's been a puppet the whole time to some really greedy and evil people who have drug this country down.
acepaul
You reap what you vote.
JDATL
What changed america? He was a loser before the election, having lied on numerous issues, and having done nothing on the economy. Now the scandals are coming out. Whether he had an active roll then is not important, because he's actively covering them up now and it's obvious. So, why didn't you vote him out in the last election? The reason is, the news media was in league with Obama villianizing Romney. Romney was a middle of the road businessman, but by the time the media was done with him, he looked like Vanderbuilt with fangs.
Antonio De La Ossa
Thanks to the NSA their will be fewer and fewer comments on any subject from now on.
Vicki Crone
I think he's been a responsible President with an irresponsible Congress ... especially the road blocking do nothing Republicans.
CNN must have a bitter taste in its mouth to finally have to admit that Obama is a lousy president. Nice how they still throw some Bush references in there (force of habit) to try to water the bad news down. Obama is a failure.
Hey, he's a lawyer. QED.
Gee I wonder why......
JRNY
Ah, give it a month and this to shall pass. Something bigger and more "newsworthy" will catch everyone's attention and they'll forget why they were ever mad at the President. Look, it happened to W. Bush.
Supercatholic
Obama makes me sick. But it's the Republicans I'm angriest at the most these days. If they'd had the courage nd vision to give Ron Paul the nod, instead of allowing a pack of billionaire financiers to install their am Romney, today we could easily have President Paul, dismantling excessive and overbearing government. Instead we have a hypocrite and scoundrel who wants to start a war against Syria.
aspblom
People just want to believe in someone and to feel good about themselves. So, they found themselves able to praise themselves for voting for the US's first biracial president and to believe: YES, WE CAN.
JimNamsium
I think it's really important to be publishing these polls every other minute. Thank you CNN!
Rwwilly
I guess I'm sort of an outlier in that I have DISAGREED with almost all of Obamas actions over that past six years except for the enhanced NSA/surveillance measures which I think are, hopefully, a temporary necessary evil. Go figure.
And this is the sound of the American people waking up to discover Obama's contempt for the Constitution.
Obama has increased our national debt by billions, caused health care costs to skyrocket, waged two more additional illegal wars, attempted to destroy the 2nd and 4th amendment, increased drone usage both home and abroad, and has yet to close gitmo....whats not to love?
That's what you get when you scream about accountability and transparency in govt then act just like G W Bush.
Why would anyone trust this president who has the nerve to say he hears about scandals on the TV.
What kind of govt is that?
I know, I know, the secret despotic govt of a petty liar.
Gordon Monsen
Its interesting that no observations were made regarding the white versus non-white changes, though there's nothing surprising. Non-whites and Democrats results are virtually the same. Nothing that happens seems to shake their faith in the president. While, of course, moderates and the young are rejecting the president. Without those votes Democrats cannot assemble a majority. If these were the numbers the day before the 2014 or 2016 elections, the Democrats would lose.
The only surprise is that more people are not calling for Obama's impeachment. He has demonstrated that he does not deserve to be president.
This is quite disappointing and unexpected. I would have expected (and yes, hoped) for a larger percentage, MUCH larger, to say this is wrong. Two thirds are okay with it??
tom l.
17 point drop from people under 30. I guess the NSA spying bothers the young folks.
