Mass. College Football: MMA's Cameron Discusses The Cranberry Bowl
Posted on November 15, 2013 by Noontime Sports	Leave a comment
BUZZARDS BAY, Mass. – Massachusetts Maritime Academy will look to conclude its regular season slate with a victory against Bridgewater State in tomorrow's 35th Annual Cranberry Bowl presented by Ocean Spray.
Buccaneers head coach Jeremy Cameron would certainly like to send his seniors, who have tallied 20 wins over the past four seasons, out with a win. And after yesterday's luncheon concluded, we caught up with Cameron to chat about the game, as well as his team's season.
On tomorrow's game: "It would be a big step forward (to end our season with a win). 6-4 would be one of the best years we've had here in a long time, but then to beat Bridgewater for the second time in four years or the second time in 17 years would be a big step forward for us going into the offseason. It's one of our goals and it's what all of our energy is going toward right now."
On the senior class: "They have and we have 17 of them, and there are some key players like Mike Stanton, Keith Caruso, Stefan Gustafson, Michael Sylvia, John Bochman, Sheldon Roper, John Moriarty (and) Brandon Rodrigues (are just a few), so I'd like to send those guys off and we just appreciate what that senior class has done to our program for the last four years.
"We start practice off every day by ringing a bell, which means it is time to go to work, so this week our seniors have been ringing the bell prior to practice, so we know what it means to them, while the other guys are pulling in the same direction to get that last win for them."
On the team's impressive statistical performances: "Offensively, we do try to push the tempo, so you're obviously going to put up yards and things of that nature. Defensively, we just haven't played consistent all year for a variety of reason and we make no excuses. We've got young players and we've had some guys get banged up, but we think we've got a solid plan in place, the kids believe in it, we think we're going to have our best defensive effort this week and we're confident that our offense will be consistent like they have all year."
On the team's growth this season: "We feel like the future is bright. We want to win and it gives us momentum in the offseason, but going into next year we feel pretty good. We feel we have two quarterbacks that are going to be good next year. Most of the receivers are back except for Keith Caruso, who is a valuable piece, but we do feel like we've got some young guys and if they step up a little bit more they could (equal) his contributions. We'll miss Stefan Gustafson, although we've got a couple running backs that can be very good college football players and some of them have already proven that like Austin Pierce and David Yerxa. On the offensive line, we will have to replace John Moriarty, who will be a tough replacement because he's a very, very good offensive lineman, but we've got some younger guys that have been in the system, so we feel good about them. (Finally and) realistically, the entire defense is back with the exception of Michael Sylvia, so what you see tomorrow is what you'll see next year with a ton of game experience under their belt and we feel like we can put together a pretty solid defense next season."
On defending BSU quarterback Mike McCarthy: "We've seen all of their games and I have a tremendous amount of respect for him, but frankly I am just blown away by him. He's an absolute stud. The way he runs the ball, week after week is amazing. You know you still can't stop him and then when you allocate too many people to try and stop him he just pulls up and he can make all the throws, so the kid is one of the best football players that I have seen. He's a competitor, tough and just the total package. We're looking forward to seeing him play on Saturday, but we just hope to contain him.
"This guy is a legitimate quarterback. This kid can drop back and he can throw a 15-yard dig route, he can throw a 40-yard post (or) the vertical game, but this guy is the real guy."

With Wimbledon serving up plenty of entertainment (see what I did there?) and the sun making its bi-weekly appearance, it has been a glorious week at ContractHireAndLeasing HQ. Alas, it took us a while to get over the big comedown following Goodwood Festival of Speed. You can check out a selection of our pics from the event on our Facebook page.
Of course, what Volvo meant by that is that no model will be 100% a diesel or petrol internal combustion engine – five fully electric cars will be produced between 2019 and 2021 while the majority of their range will be plug-in hybrid or mild-hybrid models, so to say their range will be all-electric is a little bit like calling a BLT sandwich a salad.
With that said, the news is certainly a statement of intent from the Swedish manufacturer and highlights how the company views electrification as a new chapter in automotive history, representing one of the broadest electrified offerings of any car maker.
In the here and now, Renault continue to power on with their electrified offering and the release of a new Zoe which we had the pleasure of reviewing.
While pure electric cars are proving a little more difficult to sell than hybrids thanks to a combination of old-fashioned range anxiety and some rather robust pricing, Renault is taking a stab at solving the problem with its revised Zoe, a pure electric hatchback that looks as cute as a button and doesn't cost the earth.
Away from dubious misgivings about electric cars, the world continues to love SUVs, with sales in the UK increasing by 20% each year. With that in mind Skoda has turned up with an enormous SUV that packs in four-wheel drive and seven seats and is priced incredibly competitively.
It's hard not to wonder whether the runaway popularity of SUV-esque vehicles – be they true 4x4, crossover, compact crossover, or any other term being bandied about by manufacturers – has come at the expense of other areas of the car market, notably the traditional estate car.
It's not just estate cars that are suffering though. According to latest figures from SMMT, the new car market as a whole has been on the decline, with sales falling by 4.8% in June. This represents the third consecutive fall in monthly registrations since VED changes came into force in March.
One sector of the market that enjoyed some growth was alternatively fuelled vehicles (AFVs), with demand rising by 29%, maintaining its record 4.4% share of the new car market for the second month in a row. This proves, if anything, that the motoring public really really really hate paying road tax.
Although there are signs of a slowdown of the new car market, the overall car leasing market grew by 11% year-on-year in Q1, with more than half of that growth (55%) accounted for by an increase in PCH.
Though new car registrations are currently down, the Ford Fiesta remains the nation's most popular car, with 59,380 of the outgoing model sold already this year. With this in mind, Ford is hoping that an all-new model arriving this month will help it continue to dominate the new car market.
Rising from the sea like a supermini Kraken, the first new Fiesta to be unloaded in the UK was a five-door Titanium with premium B&O PLAY audio, 1.0-litre EcoBoost 100PS engine and eight-inch touch screen connectivity.
Of the 120,000 Fiestas registered in the last 12 months, 70% were five-door models, 90% petrol and 60% Zetec, while 20% chose the Titanium series.
This shift away from diesel is somewhat telling of the whispers and rumours that have been floating about regarding scrappage schemes, emission zones and blah blah blah for the past six months.
Few subjects have become so emotive in such a short space of time as vehicle emissions. When you see headlines about cars being unclean in a way that a Medieval leper would find distasteful, this is perfectly understandable. This sort of hype stokes fear and concern, yet the truth is always more complex and tougher to grasp.
Al Suttie looked at the pseudo-science behind a lot of the alarming statements and ways we can all contribute to reducing emissions rather than continue to demonise what is still the most cost effective fuel available.
With that said, at the tail end of this week France announced plans to ban all petrol and diesel cars by 2040 so *shrug* what do we know.
And finally, the Fiat 500 celebrated its 60th this week in true Italian fashion.
As the original city car, it is one of the most influential and best loved cars of all time, with more than six million models sold worldwide since its launch. Buon Compleanno, Fiat 500!

Consumers shouldn't fear the forthcoming federal ban on antibacterial soap ingredients, a U-M infectious disease specialist says. But effective hand-washing matters.
For millions of people, antibacterial soap has long been considered a go-to for ensuring maximum cleanliness and the greatest protection against germs and disease.
The Food and Drug Administration doesn't agree.
In early September, it issued a ban on over-the-counter hand soaps and body washes containing triclosan, triclocarban and 17 other active ingredients. Manufacturers have a year to comply with the ruling, which doesn't affect store-bought antiseptic rubs such as hand sanitizers or antibacterial products used in health care settings.
But consumers who view such soaps as simple safeguards at home needn't worry.
That's because the physical practice of hand-washing, when done properly, is what helps keep infections and the spread of disease at bay. Soap itself doesn't kill germs; it works to break down oil chemically while scrubbing breaks down oil or dirt mechanically, and the germs are then rinsed away with water. So being thorough is important.
In issuing the ban, the FDA cited a lack of proof that the chemicals in antibacterial soap are safe. It asked manufacturers in 2013 to provide evidence that exposure to certain active ingredients posed no risks such as bacterial resistance or hormonal effects; sufficient data weren't attained.
Nor are such products necessarily more effective: Viruses, not bacteria, cause maladies such as influenza, sore throats and norovirus.
Which means "the effect of an antibacterial soap is no different than any other soap," Washer says, noting that alcohol-based hand rubs are not covered in the FDA ruling and are effective in killing most viruses.
It's important for people to wash their hands whenever appropriate, says Washer, adding that "there are many missed opportunities" throughout the day to do so.
Beyond the scenarios above, touching an animal and handling garbage call for follow-up scrubs, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Hand-washing — which too often encompasses only a brief, soapless rinse, if anything — should involve at least 30 seconds under warm running water.
Says Washer: "Lather the soap on all the surfaces of the hand, including in between the fingers and the thumb, as well as tips of the fingers" that typically have the most contact with foreign and dirty surfaces.
But for most households, she says, plain old soap and water is just fine.

Balasore: The Baliapal Police on Monday claimed to have unraveled the mystery behind the murder of seven-year-old girl Bishnupriya, nicknamed Neuli, by arresting one of her distant relatives and the latter's sister-in law.
The arrested accused were identified as Deepak Sahoo while the woman's name is yet to be disclosed. Police said the duo killed the little girl fearing she would reveal their illicit relationship after she saw them in compromising position.
Bishnupriya had gone missing while playing near her residence on December 11 before her body was found near a pond at her village, Sundarkoili, on Monday morning.

Following her disappearance, the police had launched an investigation and picked up Deepak for questioning on the basis of suspicion. During questioning, Deepak allegedly confessed to have murder along with his paramour. He was subsequently put under arrest on Sunday evening and based on his revelations, the police traced the girl's body to the near the village pond.
During interrogation, Deepak allegedly told the police that Bishnupriya came to know about the affair between him and his sister-in-law after she caught them in compromising position. "He was scared that Bishnupriya would reveal what she saw before her family members," said the SDPO at Basta police station, Jalandhar Jali adding, "It was then he decided to kill the girl with help of his sister-in-law."
Describing further, Jali said,"At around 10 am on December 11, Deepak took the girl to a secluded place and killed her with a sharp weapon with the help of his sister-in-law. Later, they hid her body in the pond," said Jali adding that there are no evidence to suggest sexual assault on the minor girl.
Deepak's sister-in-law was later arrested by the Baliapal police which now plan to take her along with Deepak to the crime spot and recreate the murder scene.
Meanwhile, family member of Bishnupriya demanded stringent action against the killers. "I want strict action against those who had killed my child," said Bishnupriya's mother.
In the morning hours on December 11, Bishnupriya was last seen playing with her friends near her house. When she did not return home by 9 AM, the family members began searching for her. Even the sarpanch of the village helped in the search by calling out her name over public address systems, but in vain. After prolonged search, the police had lodged a complaint with the police.

Burapa Thai Opens in Clarendon
ARLnow.com February 17, 2011 at 11:17am
Clarendon has a new Thai restaurant.
Burapa Thai opened its doors on Monday. Located next to Circa at 1210 North Garfield Street, the restaurant serves Thai classics like Pad Thai and Kaprow, in addition to some signature dishes like the crispy Burapa Noodle in spicy chili gravy.
The restaurant also has a sushi bar near the back, allowing it to serve fresh sushi and hybrid dishes like the bento box with spring roll and Pad Thai noodles.
The Panang Curry was particularly delicious when we stopped by last night. The Larb Gai, meanwhile, was excellent as a starter.
Burapa Thai is offering a limited-time $1 per piece sushi deal through March 15. Regular deals include a 50 percent off happy hour from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m., half-price wine on Tuesdays and Thursday and kids (10 and under) eat free on Monday. There's also a lunch special from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.: two dishes on one plate for $9 to $12.
The restaurant offers an order-by-fax carry-out option (fax: 703-294-4104) and free delivery with a minimum $20 order (phone: 703-294-4102). It's open from 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and from 11:30 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. Management eventually hopes to bring in a live DJ on Saturday nights to create a lounge-like atmosphere.
Burapa Thai is owned by Prat Uthes, who emigrated from Thailand 20 years ago. A born entrepreneur whose passion for cooking started when she was seven, Uthes also owns Burapa Thai restaurants in Lansdowne, Winchester and Ashburn.
Uthes worked her way through graduate school after arriving in the Washington area at age 20. When her first restaurant went belly-up in 1999, she worked to pay off her debts and then tried again. On her second attempt, Burapa Thai was born and enjoyed considerable success in Loudoun County. This is her first attempt to move in on Washington and its immediate suburbs.

Megatron is defeated, having been attacked by the Autobots and sent into the bowels of Unicron. There, his body is taken apart to be recycled as Unicron sees fit. However, his Spark is intact, and with it, he begins to use the giant Transformers' own machinery for his own purposes.
Earth, Australia
Scorponok is threatening Kicker as he tries to force the human to tell him where the Energon is. His threat is not to him directly however, but it is to Alexis who is being guarded by Battle Ravage! If he doesn't cooperate, Battle Ravage will kill Alexis without hesitation!
Nearby, Rad is seeing all this and asseses the situation (and Alexis) with the help of Carlos. Rad finally decides to go in and do something, fearing that the Autobots are not showing up.
Optimus Prime and the Autobots are preparing to return to Earth. They received the Earth distress signal, and Prime wonders how much damage has been done in his absence. Finally, Optimus Prime, Jetfire, Inferno, Hot Shot and Ironhide all step through the warp gate. However, as he goes through, Optimus hears a familiar voice telling him that he needs him to defeat Unicron - it is Megatron!
Prime steps out of the gate but he is the only one who has heard anything odd. The other Autobots are oblivious. He gets his head together and prepares to tackle the Terrorcons. The Terrorcons meanwhile have found Energon and use it to charge up to incredible levels. Before the Autobots know it, they are under attack!
Meanwhile, nearby Rad has put Kicker into a heavy duty construction vehicle. Even better, he has found Alexis. However, just as he approaches her, Battle Ravage appears out of nowhere, ready to strike!
Back at the battle site, Scorponok takes on Prime as the battle rages. Optimus combines with his OP units to fight him, but Scorponok manages to gain the upper hand.
Rad and Alexis manage to dodge Battle Ravage. Rad has Carlos take control of his skimmer and send it crashing into one of the Energon siphons. Scorponok realizes his mission is in jeapordy and quickly has the Terrorcons break off from the battle to retrieve whatever Energon is left.
As he tries to get up, Optimus hears the voice of his arch foe again, this time telling him that he is ready to return even as we see Megatron's new body complete inside Unicron!
If you're going to name a series after something like Energon, an almost mystical power source that can do whatever a writer's imagination dictates, then it has to be something special, and that's what we see here. In previous issues, we saw how the ability to manipulate Energon into weapons took Unicron's heralds off guard and caused more damage to them than conventional Transformer weapons.
This time around, we get to see what happens when Transformers absorb a huge amount of the substance, they basically become near instoppable. Optimus brought two of the veteran warriors from Armada and two other (presumably) competent warriors and the Terrorcons still soundly handed their skid plates to them. Even Prime's new fangled combined form didn't do enough to stop the Terrorcons, and frankly, this is how it should be. Unless Energon is shown to do more than just form weapons and power Transformers, its effectiveness as a plot device wears thin. Furman prevents this by making it something so powerful that this small team of Terrorcons can take on some of the Autobots' best and still come out on top. Had it not been for Rad, our heroes would have surely perished.
I am very pleased with how the humans were written in this issue. While the Transformers were busy knocking each other around, the humans managed to play the roles of victim and heroes equally. Even when Alexis was being "rescued" by Rad, it was she who ultimately kept them both from getting squashed. And while Kicker was busy being either defiant or kept safe, Carlos (from space!) manages to help save the day. This is how to properly use humans in a Transformers storyline, have them actively be involved in the story at hand.
The "blank" robot bodies inside Unicron resemble Cyclonus, whom some will remember as one of Unicron's creations in G1.
From Tidal Wave's comments, we can infer that the two knew each other before this battle.
Optimus and Scorponok also seem to be familiar with each other, even though both have "changed" since their last encounter.
Carlos mentions that Battle Ravage can cloak from sensors, a cool "carry over" ability from G1 Ravage.
Battle Ravage
Jetfire versus Divebomb
Guido Guidi takes over the art chores for this issue. Guidi manages to strike a good balance between a comic book and cartoon style look to the Transformers. He also incorporates some of what I call the "Dreamwave style", which is not, as one might expect, the "anime influenced" look. Rather it is the style established early on where Transformers tended to be "puffed up" in appearance. There's a bit of that here, but Guidi resists the urge to go overboard on it and have the Transformers look "fat".
In fact, one of Guidi's greatest accomplishments in this issue was slimming Optimus Prime down. Here he manages to make Optimus look a lot more like his G1 self updated without his hefty look. For that alone I'm grateful he took over the art here. He could have easily taken the "puffy" look and thrown it onto Prime and just made him look rather...unheroic.
One of Guidi's strength is making the robots look rather fluid in both movement and shape. They look
like creatures that can move, not just stand there and pose in one position. This comes into handy in the battle scenes which have to both build suspense and be action packed.
This issue does a great job of having aciton happen on both the Transformer and human fronts. It's actually interesting to see the Autobots lose and have humans be responsible for saving the day. Guidi's art is very well done. An excellent issue.

Pixel, the first 'Made by Google' smartphone to open for pre-orders in India on October 13
By Harshith Mallya
Google on Tuesday announced the launch of a 'family of products'- Pixel, Daydream and WiFi- to venture into a new category of products which have both, 'hardware and software made by Google.'
Since 2010, Google had partnered closely with mobile handset partners around the world to bring its mobile operating system Android onto different smartphones. Now in 2016, Google has decided to provide its own take on the Android experience by bringing 'hardware and software design together under one roof' with Pixel.
Pixel, Phone by Google
Brian Rakowski, VP, Product Management at Google layed out the product specifications of Pixel.
We carefully sculpted the surfaces of the phone, and rounded the edges to make it easy to grip. We used 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass 4 on the front display and back glass to accent the aerospace grade aluminum body.
The glass on the back also features Pixel Imprint, a fingerprint sensor which can even be used to swipe to access notifications. Google also claimed that Pixel includes a fast charging feature that lets Pixel provide 7 hours of battery life in 15 minutes of charge.
Some key highlights from the launch include-
1. First phone with Google Assistant built in
Google had teased its intelligent chatbot- Google Asistant earlier this year before offiicially launching it as a standalone app last month. Now Pixel, will be the first phone with Google Assistant built in, out of the box.
Users can say "Ok Google" or touch and hold the Home button to fire up their 'Personal Google' to help them with a variety of daily tasks like playing a video, streaming music, navigation, traffic alerts and other use cases.
2. A camera better than the iPhone 7?
Google claims that the Pixel camera is not only the best smartphone camera that they have made, but it's the highest rated smartphone camera anyone has ever made. Brian noted,
Our DxOMark Mobile score of 89 is a great example of what's possible when great hardware meets great software. Pixel puts cutting-edge computational photography in an ultra-fast and easy-to-use camera.
Pixel has a 12.3MP camera, featuring an f/2.0 aperture and big 1.55 micron pixels to capture the maximum light possible. Brian noted that Google's team of photography gurus and image processing experts had spent the last year designing and optimizing Pixel's entire camera stack.
3. Unlimited storage for Photos
Google claims that Pixel's camera can take great photos in a wide variety of conditions and as a special bonus Pixel owners would get unlimited storage for original quality photos and videos at full resolution in Google Photos. Talking about the different camera settings, Brian noted,
Catch action shots as they happen with Smartburst, which takes a rapid-fire sequence of shots and automatically selects the best one. Use Lens Blur to achieve shallow depth of field and bokeh effects, making your subject pop. You can capture dramatic landscapes or make faces glow with new exposure controls.
4. Android 7.1 Nougat and instant updates
Pixel will ship with the newest Android operating system, Android 7.1 Nougat and the phone will also get software and security updates as soon as they're available, directly from Google. Brian noted that whenever a new update is available, users can download and install in the background and wont have to wait around for their phone to udpate.
Apart from Google Assistant, Pixel will also come with Google's other recently launched apps Duo and Allo pre-installed.
Size and prices
Pixel comes in two sizes, 5" or 5.5", and three color variations- Very Silver, Quite Black and a limited edition for the U.S. only, Really Blue. Google is also introducing a new Artworks collection that features exclusive designs from artists like Justin Maller, and photographers like Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield as well as a new collection of silicone and clear cases. About phone availability, Brian noted,
Pixel is available for pre-order today starting at $649 in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Germany and Australia.
Pre-orders in India will begin October 13. In the U.S., Google is teaming up exclusively with Verizon to make Pixel available nationwide at all Verizon retail outlets, including Best Buy stores.

Our travel plans may change, and there will be down time spent at home in Denver during the first six months between road trips, but this is our abbreviated itinerary (for now).
The driving forces behind our destinations and durations?
May: We figure we better hit Utah before it gets too hot, so we'll be spending a week in Southern Utah hopping from Arches and Canyonlands to Zion and Bryce Canyon. We will follow that up with a trip to Mount Princeton with my in-laws for a few days! Hot springs here we come!
Update: We missed Canyonlands, but loved Zion, so we plan to go back to Utah for round two sometime this summer (maybe August?)! Also, we were so close to Vegas that we added it on to the end of the trip!
June: First off, a trip to Texas for a family cruise to Mexico in celebration of my nephew's high school graduation! We also plan to float the Guadalupe River while we are there. Followed by southwestern Colorado and the Four Corners (Durango, Ouray, Telluride) with my other set of in-laws.
July: Massive road trip! Yellowstone (WY), Glacier National Park (MT), Banff National Park(Alberta), Jasper National Park (Alberta), Mount Rushmore and possibly the Badlands National Park (SD).
Update: We missed our puppies so we cut our Canadian camping short and headed back to Denver a few days early. That meant missing Jasper National Park in Alberta and the Badlands in SD. But we did spend an amazing few days in the Black Hills of South Dakota where we saw Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse.
August: August is pretty unstructured, but we'll likely do some camping trips with friends and family around Colorado.
Update: We stuck close to home for August, hiking in the foothills of Denver and camping within a two hour drive. Trent also took a quick trip to Vegas (that's trip number two!).
September: I'll first be flying to L.A. to hang out with a good friend and get some girl time. Trent will drive out with the dogs and the camper a week later and we will hit some national parks in California. Maybe the Redwood Forest and Yosemite. We had planned originally to do a cross country Amtrak trip to see friends up and down the east coast but we decided we wanted more time with the dogs before we leave them for six months and head to Thailand.
Update: Due to terrible fires out west, we cut our California trip short and instead headed to Texas to visit family briefly and to support the relief efforts in Houston. We were able to stay with a good friend and her family. We raised $1,000 to purchase much needed clothing, diapers and supplies for those who suffered losses from Hurricane Harvey.
On the way to Texas from California, we stopped at the Grand Canyon for our final camping trip in the Freedom Machine.
October: Prepping for Thailand and Texas to spend some more time with family before departing the country.
Update: I also made an unexpected trip to NYC with a good friend. Check out the post on all my celebrity sightings in my blog! Texas was excellent. We spent time on the farm with family in West Texas and in the city with our nieces and nephew while their parents had a much needed vacation of their own. Read all about our attempts at parenting. Pretty funny stuff!
Sabbatical Part II: Thailand and Southeast Asia and Australia!
We have a multi-entry visa for six months in Thailand, which means we can stay here for six months as long as we leave the country every 60 days. So we will use Thailand as our base to explore other parts of Southeast Asia as well.
February 27-March 11: A friend of ours from Denver will be visiting, so we will have a travel companion!
This is our final itinerary unless something unexpected occurs. We can't believe it's all locked in at this point!


You found a great product idea and got an online store set up for your business. In this day and age, we use search engine for pretty much everything we need. Like, how to get traffic to my online store. So if you're like other online store owners, you probably did a quick search on Google and typed in the name of your online store. Nothing. Your store didn't show up. Not even when typing in the exact url. Don't panic just yet. First, let's try to understand how search engines work. When you search for something on Google for example, it doesn't search the whole entire internet. What it does is it searches the database for the most relevant content and display the results based on their complex ranking algorithm.
You may have heard of the term 'index' before. If your site is indexed, it means that it is inside their database. EasyStore has the right tools for you to get your online store indexed so it will show up in search results. Here is a checklist that you can follow.
Having these tools set up on your store, allows you to communicate with the search engines and also able you to go in depth on the analytics.
Meta title and description is very important when it comes to search engine optimization. It is what shows up in search results and it is the thing that stands between them and going through your online store.
Write good page titles - Keep it under 70 characters and include the keywords that are relevant to what you are selling. Make sure you don't over do it and list out all of your keywords. Remember you are trying to impress the person that did the search, not the system.
Write relevant and actionable descriptions - Meta descriptions doesn't have direct effect when it comes to ranking. But it plays an important role to get people to click on your site. Use actionable words such as "buy, get, shop, and etc to get them to take action. You should still include keywords to keep it relevant. Include value added can also increase the click through. Example "most trusted, free shipping, #1 store"
In your EasyStore admin panel, every page includes a section where you can optimize your page for better SEO.
Communicate with Google by using the "fetch as Google" function - This will let Google know that your online store exist so it will send out "crawlers". Log into Google Webmaster Tools to do this.
Ensure proper use of header tags (H1, H2, H3, H4) - Make sure there is only one H1 tags (Heading 1). It is often used as the main headline for a page and usually contain the main keywords.
Set alternate text for images - Other than web searches, people also search by image. You can also include keywords in images.
Write unique product descriptions - All content, including product descriptions, should be unique and written by you. For example, don't use product descriptions from manufacturers. Search engines do not like duplicated content.
There are other things that needs to be done outside of your EasyStore settings.
Create social media profiles for your online store - Even if you don't plan on using all of the social networking sites out there, you should still create a profile for your store (ex: FB page, Instagram, Youtube, Google +) Search engines will also show social media profiles in search results.
Complete your profile bio - Every social media site include a place for you to tell about your business. Fill in the bio and make sure to include the link to your online store.
Reach out to bloggers for backlinks - Link building is the process of getting other websites to link back to yours. This plays a role in the rank of your store in search result page. Look for those blogs that provide product reviews and reach out to them to review your products and your online store.
Ensure that your online store is mobile friendly - Search engines reward those sites that are mobile friendly. If you are using EasyStore, your online store already mobile friendly so you don't have to worry about this.
Get some initial traffic - Search engines won't know how relevant or how authoritative your site is without some initial data on traffic. You can get some beginning traffic by sharing with your friends or the link building strategy mentioned earlier. You can even use paid advertising to get more initial traffic as you start building your SEO.
We at EasyStore understand that Search Engine Optimization is a vital part of your marketing strategy. That is why we built EasyStore on SEO best practices and provide online sellers with the necessary tools. Follow this checklist after you have set up your online store.
However, there are many off-page factors involved in the ranking factor that we are not able to control such as other businesses that are competing for the same keywords. SEO will take time and a lot of marketing efforts by the seller.
*Please note that it is not guaranteed your site will show up on the first page of the search result page due to uncontrollable factor of the complex algorithm by the search engines.

Entrepreneur focuses on apple picking
WSU graduate student Mark De Kleine is exploring ways to remove apples from the tree more quickly.
Geraldine Warner // Dec 15, 2013
Mark De Kleine holds a test device to mechanically harvest apples for the fresh market. by Geraldine Warner/Good Fruit Grower
Mark De Kleine came to Washington State University two years ago as a doctoral student with the idea of developing new ways to mechanically harvest apples for the fresh market.
He knew it had been tried before. His literature searches showed that back in the 1950s and 1960s, the industry was voicing the same fears as today about shortages of harvest labor. In fact, the Washington Tree Fruit Research Commission was founded in 1969 with the primary goal of pursuing mechanical harvesting.
Today, fully mechanized apple harvesting is still a dream. Although a number of machines have been developed in recent years to assist harvest workers and improve efficiency, orchardists still depend on a human being to pick apples off the trees.
Efforts to develop a robotic "end effector" (the gadget that actually picks the apple) have so far been fruitless, but De Kleine thinks there could be mechanical ways to get the apples off the trees more quickly than a human can pick them.
For his Ph.D. project, he's developing three different apple removal methods that might eventually work in tandem with the high-tech fruit transportation systems that have already been developed.
"There are systems out there right now that are working on taking the apple from the picker to the bin," he said, citing the DBR, Picker Technologies, and Van Doren/Littau harvest-assist systems. "But it starts with the human.
"I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel," he emphasized. "I'm trying to take pieces and fit them together in a system that works. Ultimately, it comes down to economics."
He calculates that 14 billion apples are harvested in Washington each year for the fresh market. A worker can pick an apple per second. Previous research with robotic harvesters showed it could take eight or more seconds for a robot to locate an apple, grab it, and bring it to the bag, he said.
"Ten seconds times 14 billion, that's a lot of seconds," he said. "Are there that many seconds in an eight-week harvest window?"
Although De Kleine hadn't thought specifically about apple harvesting before applying to WSU, he recalls picking cherries on his family's farm at Grand Haven, Michigan, and thinking, 'There has to be a better way to do this!' and asking himself 'Is there some machine I can create to make this a little bit easier for me or someone else?'"
His fascination with machines goes back much further. He was nine years old when someone at his church made him an offer he couldn't refuse: "I will sell you a snow blower for $5, but it doesn't work," the man told him.
His father, Carl, a farmer with an agricultural engineering degree, helped him get the blower running and that winter De Kleine started a business blowing snow for the neighbors.
"I came back and I had a wad of cash, and I'm nine years old," he recalled. "My parents are thinking, that's a lot of baseball cards!"
The following summer, the neighbor across the street paid him $5 to mow his lawn, which led to a thriving and prosperous lawn-mowing business that De Kleine continued through college.
Starting as a youngster, De Kleine enhanced his business by taking soil samples from his clients' yards to the Michigan State University extension office for nutrient analysis so he could advise on fertilizer applications.
After earning a bachelor's degree in biosystems engineering at MSU, with an emphasis on power and machinery, he got a job at Caterpillar designing hydraulic systems for motor graders. He liked the job but decided to go back to MSU to earn a master's degree.
For his master's project, he developed a chestnut harvesting system that separated the nuts from the burrs and orchard trash. It was a fun project that convinced him his future was in agricultural research.
Then he saw an announcement from WSU's Center for Precision Agriculture and Automated Systems about an opening for a Ph.D student in mechatronics. He knew that Washington was a big player in specialty crop agriculture and felt sure that precision agriculture represented the future of the industry.
"I could not have written a better description of what I wanted to do," he said.
Now starting his third academic year at WSU, De Kleine has finished his coursework for his doctorate and plans to graduate in the spring of 2014. For his dissertation, he is testing three harvesting techniques that are at the proof-of-concept stage.
He's taken a practical approach. "There may be a million-dollar machine to do something, but if it's not in every single field, I think it's not a solution," he said. "Economics would say you have to have a certain number of acres to make it affordable, so anyone who has less than that doesn't get the benefit of the solution."
That's why he's focusing on improving what a human can do.
He started by studying how apples are picked by hand and noticed that a worker twists the apple to detach the stem from the tree.
He set about building a handheld device to mimic that twist, using off-the-shelf parts including parts of drills and rubber wheels from a remote-control car. When placed around an apple, the wheels can be moved either clockwise or counterclockwise and at different speeds to twist the fruit.
It's designed to be used with trellised trees forming a fruiting wall, where the fruit are stable and accessible. He is doing experiments to see if the apples fall with or without stems and if there's the risk of removing spurs along with the fruit.
De Kleine envisions that, in a commercial setting, the device would need more wheels or even rotating cylinders to allow workers to pick multiple fruit at a time.
He's also doing experiments with a Milwaukee Sawzall, which graduate students at the Center for Precision Agriculture have adapted for cherry harvesting by fitting it with an end effector that can shake a trunk or limb with an in-and-out motion of 3,200 strokes per minute. De Kleine is looking at the potential for using this tool to harvest apples.
Another device he developed is also designed to shake the trunk or branch of a tree to remove the fruit. The end effector, which fits around the trunk or branch, consists of a dual motor actuator, which has two eccentrics that can rotate in either clockwise or counterclockwise directions and at different speeds. This allows the user to strategically create, and apply, an infinite number of rhythmic patterned movements, rather than being limited to a back-and-forth motion.
All these methods would require catch frames to collect the fruit. He is also exploring the use of non-Newtonian, shear-thickening fluid surfaces that could cushion the apples when they fall in order to minimize bruising. Last year, he demonstrated the concept for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) students by using a surface of cornstarch and water that thickens temporarily with the force of a falling apple.
De Kleine, 33, hopes to keep working in agriculture and academics after he completes his doctorate and wants to get a harvesting solution into the hands of growers.
"Agriculture isn't a fad," he said. "It's something that's always been here. It's my passion. It's a privilege for me to be out here contributing and helping as much as I can."
De Kleine received WSU's William R. Wiley Research Exposition award this year in the Agricultural and Natural Sciences poster category. The award recognizes students for exemplary scholarship and research.

Article from BTNews 17 JUNE 2019
COMMENT: The next Prime Minister
As BTN was saying last week, the forthcoming election of the British prime minister (to hold that position in theory at any rate until 5 May 2022), is of vital importance to the airline industry. This week's events seem to indicate Boris Johnson might be the successful candidate and his apparent change of mind over the future of Heathrow justifies repeating for the benefit of readers who missed it BTN's view on the subject.
By 2022, physical work should have started on Heathrow's third runway (R3), having already cleared parliament, and the airport itself all-electric in terms of infrastructure transport.
Britain's largest and most important gateway would be well on its way to serving 90m passengers as the airline hub of Europe. Airlines would still be clamouring to get in.
As things stand, there are still a number of candidates for the post being vacated by Theresa May, but we shall concentrate on Boris Johnson, member of parliament for Uxbridge and South Ruislip since 2015, having been the MP for Henley from 2001 to 2008 and seen as a front-runner for the position.
At Henley, he was supportive of Heathrow. His present constituency is very reliant on the airport in terms of employment and in June 2018, when foreign secretary he faced sharp criticism from fellow Conservative MPs over his decision not to vote on Heathrow expansion by flying out of the country on an official visit to Afghanistan. The motion was carried by 415 votes to 119 – a majority of 296.
His tenure as a two-term mayor of London was curious. He took all the plaudits for the Olympics, but it was his predecessor Ken Livingstone who combined with his rival Lord (Sebastian) Coe, the former athlete, to secure the event.
Using public funds, Johnson campaigned vigorously for a Thames Estuary airport, the scheme turned down by the Airports Commission. It has been argued that with the very close-run 2012 mayoral election, Johnson did not win but Livingstone self-defeated, high-profile Labour supporters rejecting his campaign.
Johnson could have stood a third time but with Sadiq Khan as the main opposition, in a predominantly Labour expanse, he clearly felt another safe parliamentary seat was a better platform for his voice to be heard.
Johnson, perhaps with the estuary project in mind, opposed every way possible the expansion of London City Airport, the current development finally given the go-ahead by new mayor Sadiq Khan.
Crossrail, developed during Johnson's tenure, also failed to replace the existing Silvertown for London City Airport station, with the current situation that the railway runs within 100yd of the terminal building but does not stop. A campaign for a station is still possible.
At the end of the day, Boris Johnson is pragmatic. If he were to become prime minister, he would want to see the country prosper. An expanded Heathrow is the key to that prosperity.

Q: OpenSSL decryption failed or bad record mac boost::asio I'm writing a transparent intercepting HTTPS capable proxy using boost::asio + openSSL. I have a default server context where I specify that the server is a TLSv1.2 server, when a client connects, I extract the host from the hello and use SSL_set_SSL_CTX to set the context (which either already exists or I've just created it after spoofing the upstream cert) and initiate the server (downstream) read/write volley as well as the upstream.
This was working before I started storing and sharing contexts. On each new incoming connection, I was creating a new client socket and context, loading ca-bundle as verify file, then creating a new server context, getting the spoofed certificate. It was functioning, but I started developing issues where EC_KEY objects were being double freed and such. I learned from another question of mine that I was going about this the wrong way and began refactoring to recycle and share CTX objects. To be specific, I'm using a single client CTX shared across the board that loads, at program startup, the CA-Bundle for verification.
However, since this refactor, I'm getting this on both the client and the server:
 decryption failed or bad record mac

..mixed with a bajillion "short read"s. If I try to force everything TLSv1.2, I get
block cipher pad is wrong

Those errors are given to me after a read/write has failed and I call async_shutdown on either upstream or downstream sockets, which in the callback, error is set (so the shutdown failed).
I've scoured the interwebs finding jira posts from places like apache httpd and nginx where this error was fixed in different ways (resizing read buffers to be larger, openSSL patches, forcing SSLv3, so on and so forth).
I thought there might be an issue with multithreading (my io-service uses a thread pool) but I can see in the code that boost do_init sets locking mechanics for openSSL and all of my IO are wrapped into a single strand.
I'm at a total loss and am wondering if anyone can shed light on what might be happening. I realize I've posted no code, that's because I've got hundreds and hundreds of lines of it and don't want to turn people off with a huge code dump. I realize however this is a rather complicated program and thus a complicated issue so please ask and I'll provide whatever I can.
Edit
I guess I should mention for completeness that I'm getting these errors on both openssl 1.0.2 and 1.0.2a, Win 8.1 x64 and I'm intercepting and routing the http/https traffic through my proxy with with WinDivert.
Edit 2
Reduced entire program to 1 thread, same effect. Created new client CTX for each client connection, same issue. Tried disabling AES-NI, issue persists. Tried different computer, same effect. Recompiled openssl from source (was using precompiled binaries), issue persists. Tried setting additional OP_ workaround flags described in current docs related to downgrade detection, padding bugs, so on and so forth, issue persist. I think I'll just start randomly mashing the keyboard and compile button soon.

A: I was going to just delete this question, but I decided to answer it in light of the fact that nowhere on the net (that I could find) actually pointed to a correct solution to this problem. I've read every single report about this error that one could find and every single one of those reports, the people "solved" or "reduced" this error in a different way. Every single one of them, a different solution. This is what helped make this issue so difficult to reason out, because everyone everywhere has a different underlying causal explanation.
It's complicated, ready? This error will present itself if you cancel/abort a pending async SSL operation. Mind->boom(). It'll be even more confusing if you do what the docs say and use async_shutdown to do so, because even the call back to async_shutdown will fail (error code is set) and your error message will randomly be something stupid like "decryption failed or bad record mac" or "block cipher pad is wrong" or "SSLv3 alert!" so on and so forth. When seeing errors like this, ignore the errors and analyze the control flow of your IO ops, somewhere you're either prematurely ending them or getting them out of order.
In my case, the premature end was (sort of) intentional, since during this stupid heavy refactor I decided to change things outside the scope of the problem, like my HTTPHeader parser, which I bugged out and ended up cause it to fail nearly 100% and thus aborting the connections. :) The error strings were masking the real cause by telling me encryption failed for some reason or another.  Dumb mistake I know, but I take comfort in being the first one (apparently) to recognize it. :)

Q: AngularJS 1.0.7 ng-switch I have an AngularJS 1.0.7 web app with this code:

While loading, in example when I refresh the page, before locationService.getLangKey() is evaluated, I see two log images. When everything is loaded, then is shown ok. I would like to avoid this ugly effect.
ng-show has the same effect, and I don´t have ng-if in this Angular version.
Any alternative?

A: Try with something like that:
(I don't know if this version can do that)


A 17th Century writer and a Planet full of Apes – is there a connection?
Hi all, it's been an ace few months for sci-fi fans with the nostalgic releases of old classics on Netflix and Lovefilm – classics such as Farscape, Battlestar Galactica and Stargate, along with a slew of old school sci-fi movies such as Starship Troopers. Certainly a lot to keep us busy over the festive period.
This season I have curated a series of posts about these old classics, along with some peeks at recent movie releases. Enjoy!
