Picture quality on this thing is…not great.
It looks like maybe it's progressive and starts bad and ramps up? But it seems as bad and slow as Amazon Prime Video streaming.
It also doesn't get that great once it gets there. Probably the 720p limitation I guess.
This is on an older Fire TV box. Maybe the newer devices are better. Apparently they'll WiFi-Direct to the Recast. But I have my Recast on ethernet so….
Mobile options are bad. I assumed your recordings and live tv would be available in the Prime Video app. Nope, you gotta download some Fire TV app, just for this. It's not available on tvOS.
Seeking is bad but tuning isn't too bad. But it's still 4 seconds or so. This isn't a "cable box replacing" experience. It feels like streaming, but it's local. It's a shame.
Overall it's a decent product though. It's better than most off the shelf products, which isn't saying much.
They'll probably sell a lot of these.
If it's anything like the Channel Master dvr's, it'll take at least 4 firmware's before it'll even work close to what was promised at launch.
I've been a TiVo customer since 2000. I love my TiVo boxes.
However, if Apple came up with a new version of the Apple TV with this kind of OTA DVR functionality built in, it might just be the one thing I could think of to get me to move on from TiVo.
Joe Siegler: If all you're after is this experience on your Apple TV, then check out https://getchannels.com.
It's not "built in" to the Apple TV, but you wouldn't want the DVR capability built into every Apple TV in your house anyways. Ideally, you'd have a centralized DVR that feeds all your boxes in your house, which is exactly how Channels works.
Just confirms that these sort of network-attached OTA/DVR solutions are not an acceptable replacement for a TiVo or native DVR attached to your TV.
Why the hell didn't they just make it an OTA fire TV that connects directly to your TV? Stupid.
The $300 all-in roamio was some of the best money spent.
Jon: Basically, what I want is TiVo/Recast functionality built into the Apple TV and merged into the interface. I'm quite content to stay with my TiVo for OTA stuff. It's worked great, and I still love the device.
Just saying if Apple baked in some integration for the Apple TV like Recast has now with Fire, I'd consider switching platforms after almost 20 years.
I haven't played with this, but it sounds like the Recast shows potential, but it's still very much a 1.0 product.
I remember seeing that Amazon had considered putting in an option to sling full MPEG2 non-transcoded video around for people with solid networks, but decided against it to keep thing simpler.
I hope they revisit that in a software update. I'd like to see somebody else get to TiVo's level on video quality & trick play.
Bryan, all-in Roamio OTA is a good deal mathematically if you only intend to watch on that single TV. If you want to watch on additional TVs or mobile, you need to invest more money which changes the valuation.
As I posted on TCF earlier, Apple should throw some pocket change at Maddox and his partner over at Channels and buy them out or aquihire those two guys. Then fold their functionality for live and DVR OTA TV into Apple's own TV app, which will soon also be home to Apple's original TV content plus various add-on subscriptions (much like Amazon Channels) for HBO, Showtime, etc. Like Joe Siegler, I want to see ALL my viewing sources get integrated into Apple TV's native UI, including OTA TV. Probably just a pipe dream, though, because I imagine Apple sees antenna-based TV as a crappy holdover from the 20th century (which it kind of is, if I'm being honest).
I ditched my Bolt + minis for Plex DVR and Rokus (which I already had anyway). I haven't looked back once. Auto Comskip is heaven. I had a Tivo since one of the early Philips units.
1. Putting a Fire TV Stick "at every TV" is far far far far far less expensive than adding just ONE Mini Vox.
2. Amazon's UI is offesive? I 've heard far more people finding TiVo's Hydra and its earlier Discovery Bar UI greatly offensive for a much longer time, and with more vitriol. Clearly the Fire TV UI is responsible for Fire TV's massive failure.
3. Mr. Maddox as a source of commentary as presented here is predictably from someone who will always find himself in the awkward position of defense who can only offer faint praise of a product he can't help but feel is a "competitor" to his own endeavor while indirectly elevating his own efforts awaiting those to disseminate such remarks creating unwitting mouthpieces along the way. We wouldn't expect Jeff Bezos to offer any better remarks if he were to assess Channels App/HDHomeRun et al.
4. Let's stick to cost comparisons of TiVo's state of the art products, not DVR's no longer offered nor the limited left overs that may exist in the Outlet section: one TiVo Bolt VOX OTA with All-in Plan full price is $500 (minus a few pennies) plus one Mini VOX at $180 (minus a penny) comes to a grand total of nearly $700.
One Fire TV Recast at $280, with no additional fees, plus one Fire TV Stick at $40 (if one does not already have a Fire TV–and a great many do) comes to a grand total of $320 an all with no fees at all, unlike the competeting prodects. Considering how popular the old Channel Master DVR's were embraced by people who were well are of TiVo's technical and operational superiority, do we really think the cost averse cord shavers, especially the older crowd, are going to choose a TiVo over Fire TV Recast, and a great many already have an Amazon Echo and/or already have a relationship with Amazon, and Recast TV's competition have never appealed to the less tech savvy and older crowd.
Let's say the Recast TV is utimately inferior (as the Channel Master DVR was inferior to TiVo), Amazon has the brand and existing relationships with consumers that already make their Fire TV line poised to take over Roku, if not just the costly oddity of the Roku OS as the years go by. For all the right or wrong reasons, Recast is likely to be the most successful competitor to Tablo, HDHomeRun, et al.
The new TiVo UI is ghastly as well. I agree.
Anyone that knows me will tell you that I'm a fan first. I've spent 15 years between TiVos, XBMC (on Xbox 1s), Boxees, MythTVs, WMC, every streaming box under the sun, you name it. I even wrote my own media center for local content that I use to this day. That includes reading Dave's site that whole time! Heh.
Harry, I know Jon and he's a straight shooter. I value, trust his opinions in this space – which is why I chose to share them. For context, Channels is a side project built out of love.
Regarding the Fire TV interface, I'm not claiming it inhibits sales or expecting others to agree with me. I'm speaking for myself that I don't enjoy it and would much rather navigate a Roku or Apple TV (and own variants of all three). Visually, Hydra doesn't bother me much – but the extra clicks to perform certain actions and missing functionality do bother me, which is why I don't run it on our Roamio and Minis.
In general, my household has less use for DVRs these days. My TiVo ecosystem is largely a library of Nick Jr and Disney Jr content, whereas most of our adult viewing needs are met via Netflix, Prime, and ad-free Hulu.
What we really need is for all of the streaming DVR companies to provide an open/common API so that programs like Channels could work with multiple brands of DVR boxes. I would ditch Tablo's app in a heartbeat if there was an alternative that ran on my Roku.
Come on. The 4K Firesticks are now $34!! Skip the cube (not ready). Throw out your old firesticks, and unfortunately your FireTV boxes. I am tickled pink to have ONE REMOTE for all again. And almost no cords or boxes. It's a small remote too. I can't see much difference between it and OTA, regardless of the review comments, it's very crisp. Tuner sensitivity is much much better than my Channel Master DVR+s (also going in the trash or ebay). If they can give us menu customization to move TV OTA to the top of the menu, it's a winner here. They need to improve the channel guide method for recording a little or my wife won't adopt quickly (DVR+ is very easy one button, no option selection). At least there's echo remote voice. Only limitation I ran into, with 2 TVs streaming running upstairs (my wife left one streaming upstairs, switched inputs and shut it off) I got a tuner limit when I powered up a third TV. Not for large families.
I should mention, I realize the stream is compressed vs OTA. It's just not noticeably visible to me.

Scottish government stops fracking
Posted By: Editor 6 October 2017
Contributed from Victoria
Scotland's government has listened to the overwhelming opposition to coal seam gas extraction (fracking) and has effectively banned it.
The decision comes after a period of public consultations that received more than 60,000 responses, with 99 percent of them supporting the banning of the practice, due to concerns of damage to health and the environment.
In doing so, the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) government has come under fire from fracking companies, some industry bodies and the Conservatives for damaging Scotland's economy and sacrificing jobs.
Labour and the Greens argue that it does not go far enough and that specific legislation is needed.
Gary Smith, the GMB union's Scotland secretary, has called for the banning of coal seam gas imports from the United States, suggesting that a failure to do so would by "dishonest and Hypocritical".
Given that there has been a ban since January 2015, the government is seeking support for its indefinite extension from the Scottish parliament, which it sees as imposing a permanent ban through administrative means. The advantage of an administrative ban is that it can be enforced immediately and it does not preclude later legislation.
Environmentalist organisations have praised the move.
Friends of the Earth Scotland head of campaigns Mary Church said: "This is a huge win for the anti-fracking movement, particularly for those on the frontline of this dirty industry here in Scotland, who have been working for a ban these last six years."
She said the ban would "avoid potentially devastating impacts to people's health, the climate and our natural environment".
Dr Sam Gardner, acting director of WWF Scotland, added: "It's excellent news the Scottish government has listened to the thousands of people, campaigners, and politicians across the country who have been calling for a permanent ban to fracking.
"The climate science is clear. The vast majority of fossil fuel reserves need to be left in the ground."

When we tested an earlier version of these Outland pedals we said they had potential to be a great value buy but were let down by bearings that felt as if they were full of gravel.
To their credit, the folk at Raleigh responsible for the Outland product range took our criticism on board and upgraded the pedal by adding some very smooth bearings and better seals.
The result is a clipless pedal with plenty of spring tension adjustment, cleats that last a surprisingly long time, and performance that some pedals costing twice as much struggle to offer.
That's all topped off with quality bearings and easy servicing. They're now the pedal we said they could be and a real bargain. If we were to be really fussy, we'd like stainless steel cleat bolts, but at this price it's really not an issue.

Apr 15 REVIEW: Fat White Family – 'Serfs Up!'
Charlotte Krol
Written for NME [15/4/19]
On their third record 'Serfs Up!' the rancid rockers finally realise their ambitions. Repulsion still reigns, but this time they have the tunes to pull you in
Fat White Family are a band reborn. 'Serfs Up!' is the richest, most accomplished music they've ever written.
This is an about turn from the south London misanthropes' second album that was rotten with dissonance and references to the Third Reich. 'Songs For Our Mothers' (2016) was an abject, anti-pop record that lacked the excitement of their 2013 psychobilly debut 'Champagne Holocaust'. In addition, heroin addiction, infighting, and the temporary departure of the band's co-conspirator Saul Adamczewski for some time threatened the group's future.
Fast-forward three years and repulsion still reins, but this time it pulls you in. Lead single 'Feet' is the group's statement of intent: a sprawling, decaying disco track that puts up a united front. Indeed, 'Serfs Up' is the first record to which the three core members – brothers Lias and Nathan Saoudi, and Adamczewski – have contributed equally. The album's eclectic, refreshing sound is testament to healing, to time spent apart, and to channelling creativity elsewhere (on side projects The Moonlandingz and Insecure Men) in the interim.
With heroin habits kicked, 'Serfs Up' is the sound of a band that's downgraded to mellower substances for superior results. Rolling, industrial dub track 'I Believe In Something Better' may note "the misery of progress" but it's contrasted by hope in the throbbing, organ whirls that open with the chorus' title lyric. 'Kim's Sunsets' – an earworm song about the North Korean leader presiding over his missiles – picks up the record's recurring dubby pulses and chucks in Fat Whites' deranged harmonies for good measure.
The album's second single, 'Tastes Good With The Money', evolves from Gregorian plainchant to a stonking, Marc Bolan-indebted glam rock number about the excesses of wealth. The record's wild centrepiece, 'Front Runner', jolts with Altern-8 horror rave synths and a meaty, '90s ostinato bass hook. Elsewhere, there are the noxious noir sentiments of early Fat Whites material – see 'When I Leave', a menacing take on 'The Lady With The Braid', Dory Previn's song about begging for sex – for those craving the band's old provocations and polemics.
'Serfs Up!' does taper towards the end, dragging somewhat with 'Oh Sebastian' and 'Rock Fishes', but it's a victorious return from a ragtag bunch finally realising its ambitions.
Feb 4 REVIEW: Cosey Fanni Tutti – 'TUTTI'

Q: Is it more efficient to create one categorical column, or two exclusive boolean columns? Would it be more "efficient" (in terms of memory usage, searching, indexing, any or all) to add one new categorical column (color, values BLUE, RED, YELLOW) or 2+ boolean columns (is_blue, values 0/1, is_red, values 0/1, and is_yellow, values 0/1), where exactly one value must be true across the boolean columns?
My use case is MySQL, if it makes a difference. Would love an in-depth answer.

A: Wherever a value can be set separately, don't worry about "efficiency", and sacrifice memory for lower processing times, by creating separate columns.
But for values that are mutually exclusive (like in your colors case), you should definitely use one categorical column.
Even if you needed separate Boolean values, you would still use a categorical column (even if you have to invent a surrogate key). Then you'd define a domain table for the categories. The domain table would contain the Boolean flags that correspond to each category.
If you were to put the Boolean values directly into the original table, you'd be violating 3rd normal form. Also you'll have issues with indexing (e.g. ignored due to lack of selectivity) and query execution plans.

A: Don't worry about "efficiency".  Think about how you're going to use the data.
...
Your possible definitions of "efficient" include "memory usage, searching, indexing, any or all", but probably the most important is to use the data structure that most fits how you work with the data.
Say you're making a table of people who work at the company, so you figure your options are:
employee_type char(10) /* constrained to "individual" or "manager" */

or you could have
is_individual boolean,
is_manager boolean,

As far as memory usage or searching or indexing it probably won't make any difference, and you shouldn't worry about it unless you know there's a problem.
However...
Say a year from now you have to add a new type of employee, "executive".  If you went with the original single-field approach, you would just change a constraint:
employee_type char(10) /* "individual" or "manager" or "executive" */

versus having to add another boolean column
is_individual boolean,
is_manager boolean,
is_executive boolean

In this case, the single-field approach seems to be flexible.
On the other hand...
What if you have to add a new type of employee, "consultant"?  And what if "consultant" isn't an actual employee type, but an attribute of a person, meaning you can have a consultant individual as well as a consultant manager.  In that case, you won't just be able to add "consultant" to the possible values for your  single employee_type column.
Maybe you need a combination?  Maybe you need
is_individual boolean,
is_manager boolean,
is_consultant boolean

but you have to constrain the data so that every record must have is_individual OR is_manager, and then is_consultant is independent of that.
Don't optimize your code and data prematurely.

Gauguin Portraits
5 November 2019 Art Gauguin Impressionists National Gallery
The one thing everyone knows about Gauguin and his work, is that he made a number of trips to Tahiti where he produced some of the most beautiful paintings of the day, representing the people of the islands with great care and love. That his love for some of the women of the islands was somewhat questionable, can make him an uncomfortable figure for modern audiences and at times over shadows his work, but in this, the first ever exhibition dedicated to Gauguin's portraits, it is the quality of his work, his genius and his view of himself that shines through.
Portraiture was his most plentiful genre of work, through it he questioned, developed and tested ideas, styles and issues. So this being the first such exhibition is perhaps surprising. The show is a joint exhibition between the National Gallery and the National Gallery of Canada where the exhibition was first shown. The curator on behalf of the National Gallery is Christopher Riopelle and whenever he's involved you know the exhibition is going to be engrossing, lively and a true pleasure to view (just as he is to listen to if you ever get to tour an exhibition he curated with him). And it's true here. It explores the unconventional man that tried to be conventional, an artist with a stormy relationship with other artists, and his time in Tahiti and the commercial nature he try to develop with his work.
X9848, Paul Gauguin, Arii Matamoe (The Royal End), 1892 Oil on canvas 45.1 × 74.3 cm The J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles (2008.5) Digital image courtesy of the Getty's Open Content Program Tahiti; 1892; Oil on coarse fabric; 45.1 × 74.3 cm (17 3/4 × 29 1/4 in.); 2008.5
We find and learn so much more about the man and the artist. He traveled far wider than just Tahiti through his life, something we learn before even entering the first room thanks to the map above the shop in the entrance space. Tahiti was only towards the end of his life; he lived much of his early life in Peru (his father dying en route), and before becoming a stockbroker in Paris, he joined the Merchant Navy. How could such experiences not impact how he saw things, inspired him and opened him up to new ideas, cultures and techniques?
The exhibition opens with a resume of his portrait career shown via his self-portraits. With his self-portraits you don't get to know the man but to see what he wants us to think of him and the ideas he sees himself connected to. Only early on in his career, when he was trying to be a more traditional and respectable family man, did he paint that traditional self portrait of artist with easel. Instead the notion of him as a suffering artist is often conveyed through his incorporation of the figure of Christ, or even depicting himself as Christ. His self portrait has an allegorical nature to it, and no more so than with Self Portrait near Golgotha, where he is in Polynesia dressed like Christ and sets the hill of the cross in the background. The room also contains Anthropomorphic Pot where Gauguin has used the medium of clay to create an allegorical, contorted and pained self portrait where it's as if he is doubled over in the fires of hell suffering for his work. If anything, all this suffering for ones work does give you the sense of a man that was somewhat narcissistic and that his sense of persecution was something of an idee fix.

Edward and Tullah Hanley, Bradford, Pennsylvania, 69.30.78 © Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, California
Certainly Gauguin was not a conventional man of the time, as much as he perhaps wished he was. He became a successful stock broker, making a conventional marriage a wealthy Danish woman, and collected Impressionist art, while painting in his spare time and being taught by Pissarro, who's style and influence is very much evident in the portraits of his family in Room 2. He even exhibits, at the invitation of the Impressionists, with them. After the stock crash he moved to Denmark, then leaves the family there before returning to France to paint full time. The problems and separation within the family unit can be felt in the portraits of his wife and children. A dream like quality is in them which pulls him away from the Impressionist style, and marks, in many ways, Gauguin's surrender to his nature and being non conforming or traditional in the way he lives his life. He move to a painting colony in search of the primitive culture untouched by modern life – perhaps a search inspired by the financial crash and his early exposure to such world's and cultures that were not slaves to the modern world of finance? Portraits of his early, young, artist followers at this time make up rest of Room 2 and you see compositions involving the bright flowers from Japanese prints that were sweeping France and influencing artists.
The most interesting aspect of the exhibition is how his friendships with two Dutch artists impacted on his portraiture and its form. The lesser known Meijer de Haan inspired him intellectually rather than stylistically resulting in a portrait of him carved from an old oak tree that's full of allegorical illusions and jokes; the branches and the bird on his head (a pun on De Haan's name in English). As you move through the exhibition these non portrait portraits, where Gauguin takes the genre off the canvas, or surrogate portraits where he removes them from it entirely, feature increasingly heavily as he bends and tests the boundaries of what a portrait must be.

His most famous artist friend was the second of the Dutch artists, Van Gogh. It was, unsurprisingly given the temperaments of the two artists, a turbulent but highly creative relationship; it was in Gauguin's house that Van Gogh painted his sunflowers that now hangs in the National Gallery's collection, and after a fight between them both that Van Gogh cut off his ear. Van Gogh's style is unquestionably evident in the portrait of Madame Roulin, while Gauguin's drawing of Madame Ginoux is clearly recognisable having been given to Van Gogh to use as the base of three paintings. Their shared work went further though, with the development of surrogate portraits. Van Gogh's famous wicker chair is a self portrait, built from his objects. It's like removing the Ambassadors from Holbein's The Ambassadors and leaving just the objects that represent them and who they are, it's the idea that someones space and belongings are as much a representation of them as their own image. Van Gogh also painted, as a sister piece to his wicker chair in the Yellow House, the red chair of Gauguin as a portrait of his friend. While the friendship ended violently, Van Gogh still had a looming influence on Gauguin even after his death; in the penultimate room the sunflowers of Still Life with 'Hope' are a surrogate representation of the Dutch artist.

Tahiti is of course not over looked, Room 4 is all about his first trip to Tahiti. While he did love the islands and the people, it's clear that he firmly has the Paris art market in mind when creating his pieces there. He takes images and ideas that were known in France through photos and applies them to his work. Almost all his Tahiti work is made up; Arii Matamoe (The Royal End) was not a painting of the decapitated head of the dead King as he made out, but the head of an executed criminal and has closer links to the Peruvian mummies he encountered in childhood than anything to do with Tahiti. This fake story was entirely for the Paris market who would recognised such a trope, given the historic executions of French Monarchs, and he hoped this would help him sell in the Paris and earn much needed money; he was kept going in no small part thanks to Degas, who was almost solely buying his work to ensure Gauguin had some form of income. His hope though, that being know as the French artist who had been to Tahiti, did not particularly help sell his work.
The last portrait in the exhibition is by far the simplest image, a self portrait of Gauguin at 55, completely striped back, poor, diseased and a failure in his eyes, there is nothing but him, nothing he uses to try and challenge the form or push an agenda or idea of himself. It is the perfect end to an exhibition that reveals so much about the man and his complexities, after all in the end he was human, frail and fragile like all of us, inescapably carrying his past.
Gauguin Portraits at the National Gallery until 26th January 2020

Q: How can I use variables as part of field names in the MongoDB shell? How can I use variables as part of field names in the mongodb shell? I am trying to do the following:
> var site = "google.com";
> var y = 10;
> var m = 5;

// This fails (field names as concatenation):
> db.test.update({ "domain" : site},
      { $inc : {"counts.year."+y : 1, "counts.month."+m : 1}}, upsert=true);

> Thu Apr 19 19:12:56 SyntaxError: missing : after property id (shell):1

// This works:
> db.test.update({ "domain" : site}, { $inc : {"counts.year.10" : 1,
      "counts.month.5" : 1}}, upsert=true);

I guess the problem is in the way the JS object is created: for instance var t = 10; doc = {t : 0}; works but var t = 10; doc = {"Test."+t : 0}; does not. How can I work around this?
Thank you,
/David

A: you could try for the JS object:
var t = 10;
var doc = {};
doc["Test."+t] = 0;

or
var t = 10, doc = {};
doc["Test."+t] = 0;

SEO stands for "Search Engine Optimization." SEO is the process of getting traffic from the organic or free search results on search engines like Google and Bing. When you hire Woktron, you're partnering with an experienced team as an extension of your own business to implement techniques on and off your website to help you rank higher in search results.
While Woktron might look like the last agency you hired, when you glance under our hood you'll see the reasons for selecting us to provide you assistance.
We use data and only data to drive the campaign strategy. No guessing games.
Every activity is tracked and available for you to access, 24 hours a day.
We use only one success metric – ROI. We track conversions so you know Woktron is creating value.
24/7 access to our online client panel, offering easy to use visual task boards that will let you know where we are at any given point in our engagement.
SEO professionals who are available to respond to any questions or discussions you would like to have.
It is our job to make a technical, complicated, and sometimes overwhelming internet marketing process as simple as possible for our clients. One of the many ways we accomplish this is by providing each of our SEO clients with a single point of contact to manage your project and your questions. You will get to know your Woktron SEO Professional well and they will get to know your business and understand your unique needs. We will become your outsourced online marketing department.
At Woktron, we are building a culture of extreme customer focus. We believe in the importance of understanding strategic goals and in owning the voice of our clients and we work hard to show it. We take the unknown out of SEO with a transparent methodology that effectively improves your rankings and you will know what we're doing and why we're doing it every step of the way. Plus, you will receive monthly reports for a fully transparent experience.
One of the most direct monetization and intent-bases for SEO is driving relevant traffic to an e-commerce shop to boost sales. Search traffic is among the best quality available on the web, primarily because a search user has expressed a specific goal through their query, and when this matches, conversion rates are often extremely high.
Keyword Targeting – Pay-per-click is an excellent way to test the efficacy and potential ROI of keyword targets. We find those that we feel have reasonable traffic and convert well. You'll often find that the more specific the query – brand inclusive, product inclusive, etc. – the more likely the visitors are to make the purchase.
Page and Content Creation/Optimization – We will need serious link building along with internal optimization to achieve high rankings for competitive, high-value keywords that bring in conversion-focused traffic. Manual link building is an option we will invest time in, but scalable strategies that leverage a community of guests can be equally or even more valuable.
Although less direct than an e-commerce sale, lead acquisition via the web is an equally valuable and important system for building customers and revenue. Millions of search queries have commercial intents that can't be (or currently aren't) fulfilled directly online.
These can include searches by for example unexpected potential guests searching for common queries such as "nudist campsites in france" "campsite in area", "best place to sleep in Lot-et-Garonne or Dordogne". We carefully pick phrases that convert well, have reasonable traffic and have previously performed in campaigns.
SEO's primary purpose is generating organic search engine traffic that converts into sales and leads, but the reality is that a focused branding strategy will improve your brand image but will also reinforce your marketing efforts.
When your brand is trusted, your site will be. In the online realm, this can happen through strategic link building. As you build links, you're getting the intellect and message of your brand in front of large audiences.
Bloggers, social media websites, content producers, news outlets and dozens of other web publishing archetypes have found tremendous value in appearing atop search results and using the resulting exposure to bolster their brand recognition and authority.
How SEO Attracts the Right Audience ?
An SEO web design is built with the target customer in mind. Every image, design element and piece of content is built to appeal to and draw in this kind of traffic.
Networking with other high authority industry, news websites.
We begin with a list of target keywords and determine which ones make the most sense based on competition and search volume. Next, we'll tap into link building opportunities, write SEO-friendly content and work hard to bring more traffic and more qualified leads to your door—or website.
At their core, keywords are the single most important component of a successful SEO campaign. Keywords refer to the words typed into a search box – be it on Google, Bing, or Yahoo. However, there is much more to keywords than just that. The keywords typed into a search box reveal certain details about customers and how they go about searching for things. Knowing this, it's important to target keywords that mimic your customer's minds and keyword search tendencies. By targeting the motivations of customers and where they are in their buyer's journey, keyword research can be a bridge between a company and their potential customers.
Another aspect behind keyword research is targeting keywords that are related to more general keywords known as long tail keywords. While long tail keywords get searched less than parent terms, they actually make up a majority of searches conducted every day. This makes targeting long tail keywords an incredibly effective way to gain traffic.
We will extensively review your current website, it's current ranking, crawl rate and the keywords your website is currently ranking for. We take your keyword wishlist and conduct additional keyword research to build a list that makes the most sense for your website and the competitive landscape.
It is always important to have a webpage which is web friendly and is easily accessible. We take a thorough look "under the hood" to assess your current website.
In order to appeal to your audience, you need to know them and their demographics. Who are the people that search for the terms we want to be found for? Where do they come from? How old are they? What are they interested in? And how will we be able to reach those people again and again?
We will research your target audience and aggregate this data and then use specific search optimization tools to generate further keyword options that will be used to write engaging content that is as relevant and useful as possible.
1. Your selling points – What makes your business special ? What is it that you offer your guests ?
Our competitive analysis utilises various tools and techniques to assess who your competitors are and what are they doing that you're not. We will tailor our competitor research to your specific business model, industry sector and marketing objectives to ensure that our digital strategy is thoroughly informed, measured, and focused towards securing positive growth and brand exposure.
The insights gained help us understand which tasks we should prioritize and it shapes the way we build out our campaigns. We see where our competitors are strongest and weakest and we can determine how difficult it will be to outperform them.
At Woktron, we have made major changes to our SEO content marketing post Google Hummingbird Update. We periodically check the performance of existing backlinks and outdated backlinks will be redirected to the correct page. it's never been more important to have a natural link profile.
Our technical audit will check that search engine robots can successfully crawl and index different pages and existing meta data will be checked to confirm their relevance. Likewise, we attempt to target multiple keywords per page for existing content.
We perform optimizations on your website's back-end, such as improving pagespeed and sitemaps. By making these improvements and fixing any errors, it makes it easier on search engines when they crawl your website. And when you make search engines happy, your rankings can make you even happier!
Our content strategies set us apart from other SEO companies, as we ensure that all content is of the highest quality. In addition, we have full translation abilities, allowing us to optimize your website in a specific language.
We love to write. We compose content that invokes emotion & gets people talking about your brand, onsite or offsite. We also have access to a number of freelancers with various expertise in numerous sectors.
We mentioned the importance of having consistent social profiles. Having another branded website or blog can increase your SEO rankings and further build your reputation.
Infographics should only be created when they serve a purpose. Our team work to design & create stunning infographics that get shared across the web.
We believe in investing in big content that pushes boundaries. Whether it's interactive content, quizzes or games, our design & development team love to produce content that truly stands out from the crowd.
This tells Google that the content on your website offers useful information, and when people follow external links to your content, search engines comprehend that visitors think highly of your site.
An initial step in our Link Building process is to conduct a search engine result pages (SERPs) Analysis. During the analysis we will evaluate current page one results and identify opportunities for your website to rank for core keywords.
We focus on generating valuable and share-worthy backlinks from authoritative sources, whether that's articles, share-worthy blog posts, press releases or a refresh of a pre-existing service and product pages with additional content.
However, one of the most successful means is through the creation of new content. As with all link development efforts, a 'vote' from a high quality publication that sits within relevant content will drive increased authority to each link destination page and, over time, will positively increase the rankings of those pages for their respective keyword targets.
Social Media Marketing (SMM) is continually progressing and is now considered the second-most effective form of digital marketing, yet more than one-third of businesses have no social media presence. This is largely due to small businesses not having the time or resources to invest in social media marketing. However, search engines such as Google and Bing have started to integrate comments and Tweets into their results pages, recognizing the importance of social interaction.
We maintain full transparency so you can see first-hand how our efforts are increasing your revenue.
Let Woktron drive your social media efforts to help maximize followers, brand awareness and revenue.

To get the most out of your email marketing strategy, you have to build a strong campaign that ensures your subscribers get the right information at the right time.
We'll grow your subscriber lists, manage your campaigns, and ensure that your email content is top notch, so that it encourages users to visit your site and purchase your products and services.

Reputation management uses SEO as a tool and is all about controlling what people see when they look for your business online. A positive online image is crucial for any business.
Users search for the social media accounts of the brands they're interested in. We ensure that your brand image gets carried over to your social media profiles.
Content creation serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it allows brands to share news and connect with their users and secondly content is indexed and ranked easily by search engines. The better the platform, the higher it will rank in SERPS.
59% of online shoppers see online reviews as being as reliable as the recommendation of a friend. We stay on top of reviews and respond promptly and publicly.
We often discover copied or manipulated content and unnatural links, we work with Google and various hosting companies to remove such content as it undesirable and hurts SEO rankings due to duplicate content issues.
Conversion Optimization, also known as Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO), is all about maximizing the effectiveness of your website by turning your visitors into customers, maximizing your revenue and ROI.
The goal of CRO is sometimes a conversion, but it can also be awareness, lead generation, or any other user-engagement goals for a page or an experience. You may know how you want people to interact with your brand, but need help getting them to do it. Other times, it's about trying to decrease an undesirable behavior by site users.
Turning passive visitors into leads or customers requires developing and testing hypotheses, running controlled tests, and evaluating results. But it also requires engagement of your visitors. Woktron's conversion optimization service combines technical brawn and creativity to generate the best strategy for your website.
If you've been struggling to turn traffic into leads, we will assess your user experience, and we will help to weed out problem areas and eliminate anything that might provide friction to your conversion goals and turn website visitors into actual paying customers.
When partnering with (most) SEO companies, you'll experience some degree of account management. Sadly, often times the account management provided is a spreadsheet full of numbers that are sent once a month to a customer's inbox. This isn't proper account management because a spreadsheet of numbers without explanation or context is simply a spreadsheet full of numbers.
– A contextual understanding of notable goals that our efforts have reached by having a dedicated account manager (not a robot) talk them through it.
– Providing clients with deliverables of all the content needed to be created to get their approval so clients know what's going on and have a say in the process.
– Insight and opportunity to see links built for clients.

Having served happy clients since 2010, we have a general idea of what most businesses are curious about in regards to search engine optimization.
An important factor to keep in mind, however, is the difference between black hat SEO and white hat SEO techniques. With search engine optimization becoming more of a hot topic amongst entrepreneurs and CEOs alike, it's crucial to first understand the difference between these two before considering an SEO agency or freelancer.
This will be a great guide in understanding what search engine optimization is and its fundamentals, the two common questions in the realm of SEO.search engine optimization Black hat SEO are questionable methods that can significantly hurt your business visibility. It guarantees instantaneous financial rewards that can get you banned from a search engine. Companies or freelancers who guarantee these results are likely using black hat SEO techniques.
As the purpose is to gain fast rewards, getting banned isn't considered a problem for them. Therefore, black hat SEO techniques are a definite no on getting those long-term rewards. White hat SEO, on the other hand, are diligent techniques that abide by search engine rules. By following what search engines are looking for, you will naturally get higher ranking and reap in those long-term rewards your business should be looking for.
Woktron is a proud white hat SEO company that uses effort to enhance your online visibility. The two key factors we pay attention to in search engine optimization is the initial keyword research and curating content. As such, we have compiled a brief educational article below on what these services are and its benefits which answer a lot of questions customers often have about our search engine optimization services.

These benefits are a long-term result of current efforts. Whatever business you're in, it will grow due to SEO services as everyone is now online.

We are WSP in the UK
Old Oak Common London Overground Connectivity
WSP was appointed by the clients Transport for London (TfL) and Network Rail to develop options and recommend a preferred solution for a London Overground station to link to the proposed High Speed 2/ Crossrail interchange at Old Oak Common.
Transport for London and Network Rail
Government proposals for a new High Speed 2 (HS2) and Crossrail station at Old Oak in London could make it one of the UK's best connected railway stations by 2026. The proposed interchange will bring long and medium distance rail access, delivering huge regeneration potential to Old Oak. However, the HS2 Hybrid Bill did not include providing more local rail access via connections to London Overground services.
WSP was appointed in 2013 to work collaboratively with client Transport for London (TfL) and Network Rail to develop and assess opportunities to connect the London Overground network to the HS2 and Crossrail interchange.
The WSP team, including Terry Farrell Architects, Sweets Cost Consultant and Laing O'Rourke, provided engineering, environmental and station planning services to the study, with TfL providing most of the railway planning, operations and public consultations input.
Following an initial review, four preferred options were developed to Grip 2 design level, three of which were further developed to enable a preferred option to be selected. The team worked successfully with TfL to identify a comprehensive train operational and timetabling analysis, pedestrian movement modelling, engineering and environmental assessments, together with construction methodology and programme implications, and developed and evaluated the cost of each option.
Following a public consultation exercise in 2014 and completion of a combined assessment report, TfL's preferred option was announced in early 2015. This recommends two separate stations to serve the West London Line and the North London Line.

Ethereum 2.0 Isn't a Panacea for Sharding and Scalability, Who Might Be?
Введи промокод FW7FRUX при покупке и получи скидку 5 евро
The launch of ETH 2.0 seems to be one of the hottest stories since the launch of the original Ethereum blockchain. Despite the first-ever smart contract platform being so hotly anticipated, it was not even three years old before its scalability issues started to become evident. Amid the blockchain and ICO mania of late 2017, the platform started to choke on the volume of its own traffic.
So it's hardly surprising that the long-awaited upgrade is proving to be such a talking point. Ethereum 2.0, also dubbed Serenity, has been several years in the making now, and the community has been forced to endure multiple delays. Vitalik Buterin himself has even stepped forward to assure eager fans that the implementation will go ahead regardless of the level of readiness.
While it's reassuring that Ethereum's creator is taking the lead on shipping the upgrade, those who are watching the project closely still have legitimate reasons to feel concerned.
First and foremost, the statement "regardless of the level of readiness" is hardly reassuring, given what is literally at stake. The first phase of the project will involve a move from Ethereum's proof of work consensus, to proof of stake (PoS), with a minimum stake of 32 ETH for someone to become a validator.
With this level of funding in the pot, it's nerve-wracking to consider that the move to PoS may happen before it's fully ready.
Furthermore, the initial launch is only the first phase. It involves the implementation of the new Beacon chain, which will run in parallel to the current Ethereum blockchain. This means that nobody is going to feel the benefit of ETH 2.0 in terms of higher scalability until the later phases arrive.
This is because the move to sharding, Ethereum's scalability solution, will only happen in the final phase of implementation. Sharding essentially splits the blockchain into fragments to enable parallel processing, removing bottlenecks to transaction throughput.
Only once sharding has been implemented, and dApps can start to migrate to the new chain, will Ethereum become truly scalable.
At the same time as he made the comment about launching regardless of readiness, Vitalik Buterin also elaborated that the ETH 2.0 implementation is "in some ways simpler than Ethereum 1.0 and in some ways more complex."
The key point here is that the first version of Ethereum was never designed for scalability, so over the years that we've been watching the ETH 2.0 challenges, it's become apparent that the developers are attempting to change the engine on a moving vehicle.
Another Vehicle in the Race
In the time since the original version of Ethereum launched, while the developers have been wrangling with an upgrade, other projects have built their vehicles with the engine needed for scalability. Furthermore, the wheels are now in motion. Since 2018, Ardor has been operating using many of the same principles to which Ethereum still aspires.
The Ardor architecture uses a parent chain comparable to the Beacon chain, also operating on a proof-of-stake consensus. Child chains attach to the Ardor parent chain, enabling parallel processing of transactions from a wide variety of applications.
The original proof of Ardor's concept came from the first child chain, known as Ignis. This chain provides those wanting to use the Ardor blockchain with many of the features they would need, right out of the box. These include a coin exchange, data cloud, and voting system, among many others.
Ardor's child chains operate in approximately the same way as sharding on the Beacon chain. The parent chain maintains security and oversight of the state of the ecosystem, while the child chains can take care of processing their own transactions.
Supplementary Benefits
Because Ardor has been up and running since the start of 2018 and was designed with certain features in mind, the project even offers other benefits beyond what Ethereum 2.0 will offer once it launches in full.
For example, on Ardor, child chains can operate using their own native token, meaning they don't have to require their users to hold ARDR. In contrast, transaction fees on Ethereum 2.0 will still be paid in ETH, representing a significant barrier for users.
Furthermore, Ardor supports lightweight smart contracts that don't require validation by every single node on the child chain. These contracts are stateless, meaning they're less prone to bugs and hacks.
Combined, these features have made Ardor the blockchain of choice for several projects. Most notably, this year, the Austrian government has selected Ardor for inclusion in two projects. Hot City uses blockchain to crowdsource waste heat, redirecting it back into the energy grid. Qualisig is a project aimed at using blockchain-based digital signatures for secure communication in a crisis, prompted by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
While the ETH 2.0 developers have finally committed to shipping the first phase this year, there is still no date. However, other projects that already offer many of the same features continue to gain traction. The risk for Ethereum is that by the time the 2.0 version does get fully implemented, further upgrades will already be required.

I went out to eat with my family. Tonight was the first time I ever ate Nantucket Salad. It was really tasty which was kind of surprising since I don't like salad or cranberries. But I am learning that there is lots of things that improve salad, including cranberries.
I was unable able to enter the salad on my food tracker because I have no clue how much of anything was in it. I can say by the taste of the salad I probably had to much sodium. It surprised me how salty the salad was without dressing.


Farley Dwek Solicitors act for families seeking repayment of 'top-up' fees unlawfully charged by care homes and nursing homes.
When an individual has been clinically assessed for NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding (CHC), those funds should be sufficient to meet all their healthcare needs and all related costs (including accommodation). A care home should not, and indeed, is not permitted to lawfully charge any additional sums ('top-up fees') to meet those assessed core healthcare needs.
'Top-up' fees are usually associated with the additional costs of accommodation.
In short, NHS CHC is FREE at the point of need. So, if your relative is awarded CHC Funding it should be sufficient to pay for all their clinically assessed healthcare needs, and the care home should not be asking for extra funds.
If the CHC package is not enough to cover the cost of care, then the care home should approach the Clinical Commissioning Group for more funds – not your relative!
Charging top-up fees for 'social needs' is lawful.
Care homes can, however, charge top-up fees for social needs or personal wants – often referred to as 'lifestyle' or 'hotel-style' services, or 'luxuries of living' because these additional services or facilities are personal choices that are unconnected with the assessed clinical healthcare needs. So, for example, if your relative wants more comforts such as a bigger room with an en-suite bathroom, a balcony or better view, hairdressing or other spa-like beauty treatments to supplement their existing NHS CHC Funded care package, they can still of course have these luxuries, but they will usually have to pay for them at their own expense!
The costs of running a care home invariably increase year on year – be it increased rates and utilities, grounds maintenance, upkeep of beautiful surroundings etc. Some care homes will try to pass on these additional costs to the residents as an unlawful 'top-up' fee, even when it is clearly wrong to do so.
Our expert team will review the care home contract and paperwork. In our experience, some care homes may try and hide the nature of the additional (top-up) fees they are charging; or don't specifically mention the word 'top-up' at all when charging; or 'massage' the increased cost as a lump sum figure on the annual renewal letter or monthly invoice – as if it is for the cost of providing healthcare; or else may try and call it something else on their invoice such as a "personal contribution". Don't be fooled! The increased running costs of the care home are not your concern.
Most clients we speak to have no idea that these top-up fees are unlawful and have been duped into paying unwittingly.
If your relative doesn't qualify for NHS CHC Funded care, then they may be able to have all or part of their care home and social needs fees paid by their Local Authority (Social Services). Financial support for social care needs is 'means' tested – whereas NHS CHC funded healthcare needs is not – so your relative may be required to contribute to the cost of their social care if their capital is more than £23,500.
If the Local Authority has assessed your relative's needs as being eligible for funded care, and they need to live in a care home, they have the right to choose where they live. Distance and travel time from family and friends might be an important factor to consider in their choice of care home.
The Council are obliged to give your relative at least one affordable choice ("affordable option") which is suitable for their assessed needs.
But, if they can't give an affordable option, then the Local Authority is obliged to pay the difference between their standard rate and the other more expensive care home's rate.
As above, the running costs of a care home will inevitably increase annually. But, if the Local Authority funding does not match that increased rate being charged, then beware – the care home may ask you to pay a 'top-up' fee to cover the shortfall. That is unlawful. The care home should first ask the Local Authority to reassess your relative's needs with a view to increasing (ie topping-up) their contribution. Your relative should never be asked to pay any 'top-up fees' just because there is no affordable option in your locality.
Why choose Farley Dwek Solicitors?
Top-up fees is a complicated and often misunderstood area, and you could be paying care fees unnecessarily.
We will review your contractual paperwork, advise whether you have a claim, and can provide legal expertise and litigation services to help you recover unlawfully charged top-up fees.

B.C. man raised more than $450K while pretending to be licensed day-trader: BCSC
British Columbia Securities Commission finds William Wade Furman deceived investors
Black Press Media Staff
Apr. 4, 2019 2:30 p.m.
A Mission man who raised at least $452,000 from investors fraudulently presented himself as a successful day-trader, according to the B.C. Securities Commission.
A decision reached Thursday by the BCSC states that William Wade Furman deceived investors about his status as a registrant, his prior history of success in trading in securities and his use of investor funds when he convinced 10 people to invest close to half a million dollars between April 2012 and June 2014.
Furman incorporated two B.C. companies – Liquidus Holdings Inc. in February 2012 and Liquidus Capital Inc. in June 2012.

He then convinced investors to acquire securities in one or both of these corporations, which dissolved in 2015.
The report indicates that of the $452,000 raised from investors, Furman transferred $229,000 into trading accounts in which he lost most of the money.
The remaining $223,000 was used for purposes unrelated to trading in securities, primarily on Furman's personal living expenses and loan repayments, the BCSC said.
The decision indicates that Furman deceived investors by providing them with fictitious account statements to show purported returns on investment that bore no relationship to the fact that Furman lost almost all of the funds invested in his day trading.
Of the 10 investors, five testified during the BCSC hearing on behalf of a total of six investors (as one of the witnesses also testified on behalf of a corporation that was one of the investors).
Three of the remaining four investors spoke to commission investigators during the investigation of the matter, and notes of those conversations were entered as evidence during the hearing.
Furman emailed an apology to one of the investors, saying he wished he could talk to all the investors who he "caused such unforgivable pain too."
He went on to write: "I'm not going to attempt to explain myself, or make excuses for what has happened, cuz ultimately it doesn't matter nor is it relevant.
"I was responsible for your hard earned money and savings and like a complete idiot with serious mental issues I lost control, blew up and created a ridiculous mess of lies while hurting a lot of people that I cared about."
The panel determined Furman committed fraud in contravention of section 57(b) of the B.C. Securities Act. He now has until May 9 to respond before the commission decides what kind of sanctions he might face.

The current stand-off between Russia and the West, should serve as America's wake-up call.
As Mitt Romney's statement that Russia is America's greatest geopolitical foe becomes a vivid reality, Obama continues to warn Putin through a hollow drum of rhetoric. Moreover, Obama has made it abundantly clear that the US will not respond militarily. America has once again, become a paper tiger.
Although, I am not advocating a military response as the proper course of action, I do believe that Obama's statements create a perception of weakness and only embolden Putin's further acts of aggression. It is not that we should go to war, it is knowing that we will go to war if need be, that might deter Putin, just as it inspired the release of the Iran hostages when Reagan took office. But with no threat of war, Putin has the green light to proceed with his plans.
Although the US has an obligation to protect Ukraine's borders under the 1994 START treaty, the US may not have the have the military might to even win a full-scale war with Russia. Our defence posture since the Cold War ended has been based on the notion that Russia is no longer our adversary, so the US has been much less focused on developing new ballistics technology. Russia, in constrast has launched the most extensive nuclear weapons modernization program, while the US has allowed its weapons to atrophy. And the reduction of nuclear weapons between the US and Russia has become lopsided – as Russia has violated a number of arms control treaties, while the US has honored its obligations and conitnued to reduce arms.
Currently the US has 30 ground-based interceptors that can protect us from less sophisticated long-range ballistic missiles like the ones North Korea has, but the US is less capable of defending itself against shorter range missiles launched onto US soil. The US is the only nuclear weapons state that is not modernizing its nuclear weapons to properly protect us from 21st century adversaries.
Russia's nuclear doctrine "permits the use of nuclear weapons in conventional warfare and local and regional conflicts" while Obama expressed his desire to see a world without nuclear weapons – a nuclear zero policy. But the world is not becoming a safer place just because we hope that it is and the policies of the Obama Administration are not only weakening the US as world power, they put us in a position of vulnerability and potentially in harm's way.
Just as the Obama administration recently announced further reduction in military spending, China has announced that it will increase their military budget – further narrowing the gap. And although the US still spends more on defense than any other nation, we provide nuclear security guarantees to over 30 countries around the world. And should the constellation of our top three adversaries align against against us, we'd be screwed.
You do realize if we ever went to war with Russia or China there would be no winners. It does not matter if they have more fire power or if we do. Any war with these countries if escalated would not be the shock and awe we are used to seeing when we decide to bomb countries that are using old soviet era machine guns as their primary weapons. President Kennedy was smart enough to realize a nuclear war was not the answer and avoided what could have been a completely different history for the world. A war with Russia is not winnable and matters not who is running the country.
Modernizing our nuclear program for what? There are no winners in a nuclear war. And as crazy as Putin might be he is only following the path of his predecessors who want to dominate eastern Europe. The only course of action for the US is to keep talking and using our allies to isolate RUSSIA economically. Wall Street has the power to put the hurt on Russia by crushing their currency but all the banks are likely in bed with Russia and this would hurt them. So blame Obama again because everything is is fault.
1. Modernization of our defense strategy doesn't mean creating more nuclear warheads but rather developing sophisticated interceptors that will destroy missiles should they be fired at us.
2. Any collective action of Wall Street to crush the Ruble would be currency manipulation which is illegal.
3. In a globally integrated economy, sanctions hurt everyone.
4. Putin's actions threaten Ukraine's sovereignty and exemplify soviet style expansionism which violating various treaties that Russia has signed.

The common walnut (Juglans regia L.) is a large, deciduous tree, reaching a height up to 25-35 m and exceptionally a maximum trunk diameter up to 2m. It is long-lived: normally 100-200 years, but some specimens may reach 1000 years old. It has a deep root system, with a substantial tap root starting from the juvenile stage. The bark is silver-grey and smooth between deep, wide fissures. The leaves are 20-45 cm long, with 5 to 9 leaflets, the ones from the apex being larger compared with those from the base of the leaf. Crushed leaves have a scent like shoe-polish. The crown diameter of the common walnut is larger in relation to its stem diameter than any other broadleaf tree species used in Europe. The fruit ripens during hot summers and is a large rounded nut of 4-5 cm and weighing up to 18g. It may be propagated both by seeds and also vegetatively.
The Franquette variety of the Common Walnut is a typical French variety which produce good quality nuts and it's generally more resistant to the moths and their larvae.
