And 59 percent said a breach of one company's network can lead directly to attacks on different networks in connected sectors of the economy.
According to a recent RedSeal survey of more than 350 C-level executives at U.S. organizations, 74 percent of respondents said cyber attacks on their networks could cause "serious damage or disruption" to their businesses.
Almost 80 percent of executives said such attacks could inflict "serious impacts to business profitability and growth" and cause "serious brand damage."
Forty-five percent said cyber attacks could lead to a "big hit on employee productivity," more than 43 percent said they would cause business downtime, and more than 41 percent said attacks could cause "internal/organizational disruption or chaos."
"As this research makes clear, securing the network infrastructure to ensure ongoing business operations is not an abstract concern: it's a vital issue, because a successful attack will have devastating and even far-reaching consequences," RedSeal CEO Ray Rothrock said in a statement.
With an awareness of how interconnected companies now are, 59 percent of respondents said a successful cyber attack on one company's network could lead directly to attacks on different networks in diverse but connected sectors of the economy.
"What this survey rightly highlights is that in a hyper-networked economy, where most networks are inextricably linked to each other, a major network attack will be very difficult to isolate," IT-Harvest chief research analyst Richard Stiennon said in a statement.
"This isn't an IT or even a basic operational issue -- it has national significance, and should be managed accordingly," Stiennon added.
Separately, a survey [PDF] of more than 1,000 security and IT executives worldwide, conducted by Vanson Bourne on behalf of Gemalto, found that while 87 percent of IT decision makers believe their company's perimeter security is effective at preventing security breaches, 30 percent said their company had been breached in the past 12 months.
Among those that were breached in the past year, 31 percent said the breach caused a delay in product/service development; 30 percent said it caused a decrease in employee productivity; 28 percent said it caused decreased customer confidence; and 24 percent said in resulted in negative press.
Only 10 percent said the breach had no commercial impact on their organization.
And although high-profile data breaches have driven 71 percent of organizations to adjust their security strategies and 83 percent of respondents say their organization is investing in the right security technologies, 62 percent of respondents say they're no more confident than they were a year ago in the security industry's ability to detect and defend against emerging security threats.
One third of respondents believe unauthorized users are able to access their company's network, and 34 percent aren't confident that their organization's data would be secure if their network perimeter were penetrated.
"Organizations still place too much emphasis on perimeter security, even though it has proven to be ineffective," Tsion Gonen, Gemalto's vice president of strategy for identity and data protection, said in a statement. "Decision makers should place greater importance on customer data, and look to adopt a 'secure the breach' approach that focuses on securing the data after intruders penetrate the perimeter defenses."

Gold demand in India seen falling to lowest in 8 years in 2017
today Nov 9, 2017
India's gold consumption is likely to drop to its lowest in eight years in 2017, hit by government moves to make bullion trading more transparent and by faltering demand from some rural areas, the World Gold Council (WGC) said on Thursday.
World Gold Council-Facebook
Evidence of weaker appetite in a country where gold is used in everything from investment to wedding gifts could drag on global prices that have been hovering near their highest in three weeks. India is the word's No.2 consumer of gold behind China.
Indian demand is likely to be around 650 tonnes in 2017, compared to a 10-year average of 845 tonnes, Somasundaram PR, Managing Director of WGC's India operations, told Reuters. Demand was 666.1 tonnes in 2016.
"In the September quarter, the newly introduced Goods and Services Tax (GST) and anti-money laundering legislation around jewellery retail transactions deterred gold buyers," he said.
As part of a new nationwide sales tax regime introduced in July, the GST on gold jumped to 3 percent from 1.2 percent previously.
Indian authorities in September tightened anti-money laundering rules for jewellers, although the new regulations have since been temporarily shelved.
The nation's gold demand in the July-September quarter dropped 24 percent from a year ago to 145.9 tonnes, the WGC said in a report published on Thursday.
In the October-December quarter, demand will be more "robust than the September quarter" as Indians brace for the wedding season and festivals such as Diwali, when buying bullion is considered auspicious, Somasundaram said.
Two-thirds of India's gold demand comes from rural areas, where jewellery is a traditional store of wealth.
But monsoon rains did not fall evenly around the country this year, hitting incomes in some farming areas, said the WGC, adding that "this could have a knock-on effect on jewellery demand in these areas over coming quarters".
Industry officials previously said India's gold imports in the last quarter of 2017 could drop by a fourth from a year ago as investors seek better returns from riskier assets like equities.

Guide for Profitable, Drumstick Cultivation
Drumstick cultivation is easy, less time consuming and paying as well. Therefore, interested farmers may go in for such endeavor. It is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree, native to the southern foothills of the Himalayas in northwestern India, and widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas where its young seed pods and leaves are used as vegetables. It can also be used for water purification and hand washing, and is sometimes used in herbal medicine.

Drumstick cultivation is easy, less time consuming, and paying as well. Therefore, interested farmers may go in for such an endeavor. It is a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree, native to the southern foothills of the Himalayas in northwestern India, and widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas where its young seed pods and leaves are used as vegetables. It can also be used for water purification and hand washing and is sometimes used in herbal medicine.
The utility of Drumstick (DS)
Every part of the drumstick is useful. Tender leaves and sticks have a high amount of Protein, Carbohydrates, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and minerals. Each part is used as medicine. The data presented in Table 2 provided very useful information regarding drumstick. In addition to sticks and leaves, flowers of DS (drumstick) are valued ingredients of food that are not only tasty but nutritive too. Its juice is useful as protection from bacterial diseases.
Soil and Climate
It can be grown in a variety of soils, but loamy, sandy loam soils are better suited. Sadie soils and also dry conditions are quite ok.
Variety of Drumsticks
Generally, DS provides flowers once in a year, but a variety called Najee gives flowers throughout the year. The fruit of Najee is thick and short. "Tatanagar" is a high yielding Najee variety. its fruits are long and it flowers profusely and gi,·es high yields.
Name and qualities of some important varieties are mentioned below:
Raising Seedlings
Seedlings raising is easy. It can be propagated from seed and also from branches. About 15 cm x 7 cm polythene bag is most suited. May - June is the best time. During May - June, Soil and organic manure in 2:1 ratio have to be put in poly packets two seeds are to be put in each packet and kept under the shade and watered regularly. Germination takes place after 8-10 days. After 30-35 days seedlings are ready for planting in the mainland. About 800 gms seeds/ha is enough.
Vegetative Propagation
One to the two-meter long branch is cut from the mother plant and planted in soil with adequate moisture and the cut portion of the head is co,·ered with a lump of soil.
Land Preparation and Planting
Deep plowing is done for DS cultivation. Pits measuring 1ft x 1ft x 1ft at a distance of 2.5 m is prepared during summer months. Pits are filled with 2 kg of FYM and soil. On the onset of monsoon, the seedlings are planted in the pits. About 1500 plants are needed for a ha of land. Seedlings prepared by vegetative propagation also can be planted in the pits after filling with the manures. The banks of ponds and wastelands can be conveniently used for DS planting. (5)
Intercultural Operation
Timely and proper weeding at the initial stage of growth is needed. Seedlings raised from seeds need to be pruned when plants reach a height of about 3 ft. This helps in the branching of the plants and many fruits could be had from a lower height.
After 3 months of planting, 50 g N, 20 g P20 5, and 25 g of K 20 are added per pits. In addition, about 5 kg FYM /vermicompost is to be added per plant.
During dry season irrigation helps for better growth of DS plants.
Plant Protection Measures
DS is highly susceptible to various insects. Caterpillar, hairy caterpillar, etc. are some of the common insects. Hairy caterpillars feed on leaves and buds and during day time stay at the base of the plants. This could be conveniently controlled by soap solution applications during day time when they gather together at the base of the plants.
After 6 months of 'planting, harvesting it can be done. On average 200 fruits could be obtained. After harvesting, the pruning of plants is done to get more branches and fruits in the next season.
From the vegetative propagation tall plants are obtained. Therefore, after harvesting, branches have to be axed. Initially, about 90 fruits per plant are obtained but with the passage of times about 800 - 1000 DS are obtained / plant.

Drummer, band leader and actor François-Alexandre Galepides, alias Moustache (1929-1987), was a big name in French post-war jazz with quite a few releases in the 1950s. He started to play in Claude Luter´s band and later performed with Sidney Bechet and George Brassens. Moustache even recorded some funny early rock´n´roll sides like Le Croque-Crâne-Creux (Purpe People Eater) with French lyrics written by Boris Vian. From what I understand he also really enjoyed playing rock´n´roll, contrary to guys like Henri Salvador, Boris Vian and Michel Legrand. Henri Salvador recorded some excellent early French rock´n´roll, but still only regarded it as satire, a part of his job as a comedian. Decades later he hated it when rock´n´roll fans pestered him about his Rock´n´Roll Mops. Personally he preferred the swinging jazz music he grew up with. Moustache apparently was a much more down-to-earth kinda guy. In the mid-50s he also ventured into acting and comedy, mostly playing musicians in films. Later he owned a restaurant and ran several bars. Moustache died in a car accident in 1987.
Thanks for that share. Very cool jazz… For a moment, I almost believed that Nadine was Chris Connor or June Christy.

Beware Kerry Rx Kare
Democratic Senator John Kerry said that if he were president he would lower the cost of prescription drugs by allowing the re-importation of foreign drugs. What Kerry left unsaid was that his plan would allow the importation of drug price controls, not drugs, from Canada and other foreign sources.
Canada and other foreign countries use price controls to create artificial, below-market prices that don't reflect the actual costs of pharmaceutical research and development. U.S. companies spend an average of 15 years and more than $900 million to develop a new drug. They must be allowed to recoup that investment. Kerry overlooks the unseen cost of inhibiting research and development by controlling drug prices.
Politicians love to give away "free" stuff in an attempt to get votes. But beyond the tax-subsidized fantasy world, real companies go bankrupt when forced to sell at prices at or below actual costs. Cheap drugs make great sound bites for politicians but are lousy economics.
Think of the airlines and discount seats. If everyone were to fly in only the discounted seats, pretty soon there would be no seats available because the airline could not afford to fly. All passengers would lose. The same is true in the drug industry.
The irony here is that in many cases, we are paying more than we need to by buying foreign drugs. A Canadian study concluded that 75 percent of the 27 most popular generic drugs were significantly cheaper in the U.S.

After years of anticipation, a tower overlooking the White City is being built on the Tel Aviv skyline. The White City is a rare architectural gem, built in the early Twentieth Century on the blue coast of Tel Aviv – a symbolic link between the grandeur of the past and the miracles of the future. 46 Frishman, the lofty tower over the White City, stands 28 stories high above the beating heart of the city, over the crossroad of Frishman, Dizengoff and Esther Hamalka Streets. 46 Frishman was conceived as a contemporary building, but with great respect for the past. The tower, unique from every angle, combines the advantages of modern design and all possible luxuries with great restraint and dignity.
46 Frishman Tower Integrates the Classical Bauhaus Concept With the Innovativeness of the Future .The repeating motifs in the architecture of the tower are derived from the International Style – The Bauhaus: The rounded beams, the terraces, the horizontal lines and the shutters; the facades form a play of light and shade and tranquility with a touch of retro. The Bauhaus concept was translated into a modular building rate, enabling every tenant to design his home to his requirements. The interiors are inspired by the style of the 30's and 50's, displaying modern-classics, up-to-date design items that have been new and relevant for almost 100 years. The architects are leading firm M-Y-S (Alrov towers, Yoo), and the interiors are designed by Alex Meitlis. The technical specifications include materials and technologies of the highest standard.


So… Rumor has it that out of the 36 names President Buhari sent in for an "integrity test", only 3 names passed. Let me repeat that again to emphasize the point. Out of the 36 names that were nominated due to their credibility and supposed "resourcefulness", only THREE names successfully passed the integrity test. What a shame!
Yet we wonder why President Buhari has not appointed his Ministers. We all know his administration is going to be run with utmost transparency, so who would he appoint when the so called aspiring Ministers with their ridiculous and clearly non-efficient resume cannot even pass a test that proves their adherence to moral, ethical and professional principles. I bet even the outgoing Ministers would all fail the so called integrity test woefully. This just proves once again that the bulk of our leaders do not possess a sound moral character or simply put, are DISHONEST.
Rumor also has it that after word spread that there is an integrity test one must scale with flying colors before being appointed as a cabinet member, majority of pre-established interests have withdrawn their candidacy. This is unbelievable! Are they withdrawing because they do not agree with the selection process? Or are they withdrawing because they know flat out that they would fail and are avoiding embarrassment? Whichever the case may be, it is a clear case that the leaders or aspiring leaders of this country are not quite receptive or in other terms, are unpleased with the ongoing change.

Do you yearn to run with the horses? Covell's California Clydesdale Ranch is home to a herd of 100 freely-roaming majestic Clydesdale horses.
The 2,000-acre ranch is made possible through a nature conservation easement, with views of a Monterey Pine forest, glimpses of the ocean, and pristine pastures.
Tours of the 2,000-acre property are available in the ranch's open-air trailer, or on horseback, and discuss the annual rodeo, party and open-pit barbecue held on the ranch in the 1890s with the Hearst Family as benefactor.
The olallieberry is the most widely-grown fruit at Linn's Family Fruit Farm, which is open to the public on picturesque Santa Rosa Creek Road.
Olallieberries feature in Linn's famous jams, sauces and, most beloved of all, in Linn's famous olallieberry pie, available at Linn's Restaurant.
In May every year, Cambria holds the Olallieberry Festival, and every Fourth of July, Linn's presents an old-timey pie-eating contest.
Cambria's history has been painstakingly preserved by a dedicated band of volunteers at the Historical Society, which brings the town's history to life with an easy, self-guided historical walking tour.
The tour showcases historic homes, storefronts and places of worship dating back to the 1870s spanning 28 stops and multiple architectural styles in Cambria's historic East Village.
Start at the Guthrie-Bianchini House, now the Cambria Historical Museum, for exhibits, information and a charming garden patio.


Alimera Sciences announced it has received marketing authorization from the Italian Medicines Agency for Iluvien for the treatment of vision impairment associated with chronic diabetic macular edema, according to a company press release.
Iluvien is a designated C class product in Italy, meaning that is currently available only to private-paying patients. If Iluvien reaches H class designation, patient access to Iluvien will be expanded, the release said.


Just a short winter update. Its getting near time to start thinking about the new season. The good news is that the rates will stay the same as last year. I've started tying some new flies for the spring. There were a lot of stripers around last fall and that bodes well for this year. New York has put a stop to the purse seining of bunker so there should be an increase of bait. I have a couple of new ideas that could be fun but I have to wait a bit before I try them. As a rule my anglers wait till the end of April before booking their days with me. For some reason I have a bunch of days already booked. Mostly in the fall. Stay well and I'll see you on the boat.

What Is Insider Trading?
Insider Trading That Is Illegal
Insider Trading That Is Legal
Where to Find Insider-Trading Data
It isn't a coincidence that corporate executives seem to always buy and sell at the right times. After all, the CEOs and CFOs of the world have access to every bit of company information you could ever want. However, the fact that company executives have unique insights doesn't mean that individual investors are always left in the dark. Insider trading data is out there for all who want to use it. This article will discuss what insider trading is, how we can understand insider trading, and where to find the relevant data.
There are two types of insider trading: legal and illegal. First, let's talk about the illegal variety. Illegal insider trading is the buying or selling of a security by insiders who possess material that is still not public. The act puts insiders in breach of their fiduciary duty. As you can imagine, illegal insider trading is a definite faux pas for anyone closely involved with a company.
Illegal insider trading occurs when an individual within a company acts on nonpublic information and buys or sells investment securities.
Not all buying or selling by insiders—such as CEOs, CFOs, and other executives—is illegal, and many actions of insiders are disclosed in regulatory filings.
Directors and upper management are not the only people that can be convicted of insider trading; anyone with material nonpublic information can be convicted if they used the information to make illegal profits.
Large companies can have hundreds of insiders, which can make analyzing their buying and selling more difficult.
Anybody who has material and nonpublic information can commit the illegal act of insider trading. This means that nearly anybody, including brokers, family, friends, and employees, can be considered an insider.
The following are examples of illegal insider trading:
The CEO of a company sells a stock after discovering that the company will be losing a government contract next month.
The CEO's son sells the company stock after hearing from his dad that the company will be losing the government contract.
A government official realizes that the company will lose the government contract, so the official sells the stock.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is extremely strict with those who trade unfairly and thereby undermine investor confidence and the integrity of the financial markets. Don't think that those who place the trades are the only guilty ones. If someone is caught "tipping" an outsider with material nonpublic information, that tipster can also be found liable.
An important thing to emphasize here is that insiders do not always have their hands tied. Insiders can (and do) buy and sell stock in their own company legally all of the time; their trading is restricted and deemed illegal only at certain times and under certain conditions.
A common misconception is that only directors and upper management can be convicted of insider trading.
The SEC considers company directors, officials, or any individual with a stake of 10% or more in the company to be corporate insiders. Corporate insiders are required to report their insider transactions within two business days of the date the transaction occurred (before the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the time frame was the tenth day of the following month).
For example, if an insider sold 10,000 shares on Monday, June 12, that person must report the transaction by Wednesday, June 14. Changes in insider holdings are sent to the SEC electronically as a Form 4, which details a company's insider trades or loans. A Form 14a, also filed by the company, lists all the directors and officers along with the shared interest that they have.
The kind of information found in filings is extremely valuable to individual investors. For example, if insiders are buying shares in their own companies, they might know something that normal investors do not. The insider might buy because they see great potential, the possibility for merger or acquisition in the future, or simply because they think their stock is undervalued.
One of the greatest investors of all time, Peter Lynch, was noted as saying that "insiders might sell their shares for any number of reasons, but they buy them for only one: they think the price will rise." Insiders are prevented from buying and selling their company stock within a six-month period; therefore, insiders buy stock when they feel the company will perform well over the long-term.
The SEC uses the Dirks Test to determine if an insider gave a tip illegally; the test states that if a tipster breaches their trust with the company and understands that this was a breach, that person is liable for insider trading.
Nejat Seyhun, a renowned professor and researcher in the field of insider trading at the University of Michigan and author of the book Investment Intelligence from Insider Trading, found that when executives bought shares in their own companies, the stock tended to outperform the total market. Conversely, when they sold shares, the stock underperformed the market.
Access to data is definitely one way in which the Internet has revolutionized investing. With the click of a mouse, anyone can find the latest insider-trading statistics for just about any public company. Here are a couple of sites that provide insider-trading data for free:
Yahoo! Finance: Look up any quote on Yahoo! Finance and click on "Insiders" for a list of the latest trades. Some insider trading filings don't appear in databases until a month after the fact, but Yahoo! seems to have one of the most current data feeds.
SEC EDGAR Database: While not visually appealing, the EDGAR database is where trading data is first sent. To find the filings on the SEC website, you must search for the "central index key" (CIK) for the company. The CIK is used on the SEC's computer systems to identify corporations and individual people who have filed a disclosure with the SEC. Once you have the CIK, you can search for individual filings.
Insider-trading data is nothing new. Investors have been making investment decisions based on the actions of insiders for decades. While the data are important, just remember that large companies might have hundreds of insiders, which means that trying to determine a pattern can be difficult. Continue, as you normally would, to complete your due diligence on a company, but also be aware of what insiders are doing. They probably know more than the rest of us.

Material Nonpublic Information Definition
Material nonpublic information is data relating to a company that has not been made public but could have an impact on its share price.
What Is Front-Running in Stocks?
Front-running is trading stocks or any asset based on insider knowledge of a future transaction that will affect its price. It is illegal in most cases.

EYEBOBS KICKS OFF STAND UP TO CANCER INITIATIVE
by Stephen Garner Aug 03, 2016
Portraits courtesy of Timothy Greenfield-Sanders
Eyebobs, purveyor of distinctive reading glasses geared toward independent thinkers, is introducing a limited-edition frame in two colors, "Take A Stand," to benefit Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C). Co-founded by Katie Couric in 2008, SU2C raises funds for collaborative cancer research that gets new treatments to the patients who need them quickly.
The initiative kicks off exclusively at Neiman Marcus and Allen Edmonds this month, both in-store and online, before rolling out to additional specialty stores in the U.S. and Europe, and also online at eyebobs.com. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of "Take A Stand," which retails for $79, will be donated to SU2C, with Eyebobs committing a minimum of $100,000.
A series of portraits taken by "The Boomer List" photographer and filmmaker Timothy Greenfield-Sanders will anchor the initiative. Subjects wearing "Take A Stand" and holding a placard that states, "I Stand Up For…" include John Slattery, Bryant Gumbel, Michael Bolton and a rare self-portrait of Timothy Greenfield-Sanders himself.
And, like any good campaign with legs (or eyes), there will be a special social component: Eyebobs will donate an additional two dollars for every person who posts an image wearing the brand's frames using the hashtag #StandWithEyebobs. What's more, customers who visit eyebobs.com will be able to print an "I Stand For" placard to accompany their social efforts.

Prince Arthur – poemat epicki siedemnastowiecznego angielskiego poety Richarda Blackmore'a, opublikowany w 1695. Utwór składa się z dziesięciu ksiąg. Został napisany wierszem parzyście rymowanym. W 1696 został wznowiony. W 1714 opublikowany był po raz kolejny. W zmienionym wydaniu z 1697 został poszerzony do dwunastu ksiąg.

Celestial Muse, Instruct me how to sing
The generous Pity of the British King,
Who mov'd by Gallia's crys, and Heav'n's Command,
Sustain'd excessive toyl by Sea and Land,
The Gallic Christian's Freedom to restore,
And save Neustrasia's Realm from Clotar's power.

Poemat jest jednym z czterech wielkich dzieł epickich poety. Kolejne to King Arthur (1697), Eliza (1705) i Alfred (1723).

W 1696 John Dennis wydał traktat krytyczny poświęcony poematowi Blackmore'a. Samuel Johnson określił książkę Dennisa jako "more tedious and disgusting than the work which he condemns".

To build natural backlink profile in SEO is very important specially after penguin update, Specially if you want to increase website ranking in Google and other search engines like Yahoo and Bing. Your backlink profile must be and look natural, clean and diverse. Gone are the days when you could just buy 1000's of backlinks from fiver and improve your google ranking and now the link building strategy has completely changed and those strategies and practices don't work in 2017.
Google want's your backlinks to be natural and must come from other high authority and relevant blogs and websites in your niche.
So how exactly you are going to build a natural backlink profile for your website or blog So that Google will not penalize you for artificial link building and this is what we are going to discuss in this post.
Literally I have seen many beginner bloggers and website owner's who still live in the old age and think that they can get away by building spammy links from spammy websites and boost their search engine ranking but no matter how smart you think you are Google is more smarter then us and they are now have become a very sophisticated algorithm which is best in the business in ranking websites in Google.
1) Anchor text – If you want to build natural backlink profile to your blog site then you must smartly use your anchor text for backlinks. Your anchor text must not be keyword rich but it must be good variation of you brand name, complete Url's, partial match keywords, keywords along with additional relevant text, domain name, added prefix to the keyword, added suffix to the keyword, synonyms etc.
Your backlink profile must be diverse enough So that it's looks natural and Google will not recognize that you are manually building your backlinks. This is the backlinking strategy that works like charm and you will be able to improve your google rankings very easily.
I have seen many beginner bloggers and webmasters who do this SEO mistakes of simply creating as many keyword rich backlinks to their blog and websites and end up getting penalized or lower ranking in Google.
So I would recommend you to note down the keyword for which you want to rank your post in Google and find other relevant and similar words and build backlinks using those keywords and this will definitely going to help you and you will also be able to rank for different keywords and search terms in Google.
2) Diverse Backlink Profile – If you like to do guest posting and think that guest posting is the best way to build natural backlink profile to your blog or website and you are spending most of the time in build backlinks by doing guest post then stop. If you are getting all your backlinks by the same method then it will not make your backlink profile look natural.
And Google will find that you are over using one particular method to build your backlinks and might penalize your website. So the best way to avoid this is to get backlinks from variety of different sources like blog commenting, Social bookmarking sites, Guest posting, Blog directories, Content marketing, infographic submission etc.
If you build backlinks to your website in this way then I am sure that your backlink portfolio will look clean and diverse. Thus I would recommend that never rely on one source and strategy to build all your backlinks.
3) Frequency – One of the biggest SEO mistakes which most bloggers make is that they don't keep an eye on the frequency by which they are getting backlinks to their blog or website. I have seen many newbie bloggers who get into heavy link building during the first few weeks for their new website and then suddenly stop building any backlinks.
And this is pretty unnatural What Google will think and consider the fact that you website is not getting any link as it used to So it reduces the value of your blog in terms of the continues flow of new backlinks to your blog. So I would advice to all that keep on building backlinks to your blog at constant and consistent phase. It must not be 100 backlinks in first month and 0 backlinks in the other.
4) Backlink Target – I have seen many bloggers who only build backlinks to their homepage and never bother to build backlinks to their internal pages and post and this is again a very big SEO mistake. Yeah it's pretty natural that your website homepage will be naturally getting more links to it but you must also try to get backlinks to your internal pages and this will drastically improve your overall SEO of your blog or website.
And Google will also think that you are indeed providing value to the users by promoting useful post from your blog rather then just focusing to rank your website for a keyword and this will make your backlink profile appear natural.

Home » Past Issues » Eastern Wildlife Corridor plan announced
March 13, 2007 Past Issues No Comments
The NSW Environment Minister announced in late Febuary 2007 that a massive conservation corridor labelled the 'Alps to Atherton' would be established along the eastern edge of Australia.
Wildlife Queensland says……This worthwhile project fits with WPSQ's policies on Conservation of Biodiversity, and National Park Management and our Protecting our Bushland campaign. WPSQ has advocated the use of continent scale models that integrate conservation on protected areas with compatible land use across millions of hectares. Such mechanisms must address comprehensiveness, adequacy and representativeness of regional ecosystems as well as connectivity and resilience so ecological processes and biodiversity conservation can continue.
We hope this project does not divert the Queensland Government from fulfilling its agreed National Reserve System targets, which will help stem the extinction crisis. In 2005, Queensland Government agreed to make sure that all threatened species habitat and endangered regional ecosystems are represented in the park system by 2010. Although commendable effort has gone into transfer of State Forests, and protection in Cape York, the Daintree and increased funds for south-east Queensland, little progress has been achieved in the priority regions for the National Reserve System.
The NSW government has pledged approximately A$7 million over the next few years to support the scheme. Allegedly Queensland, Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory governments have all agreed to the plan but have yet to make financial pledges.
About the corridor
Length. This significant corridor will allow wildlife to move along a string of reserved land about 2800 km, which compares with the 3200km Yellowstone to Yukon corridor that spans North America's Rocky mountains.
Benefits for wildlife. The concept is based on a proposal to link existing reserves and to protect and restore ecological links that will increase the ability species to move more freely and establish new areas of sanctuary as the effects of global warming escalate.
Creating the corridor.
There will be no compulsory acquisition.
Initiatives will be purely voluntary.
Landowners who wish to participate will sign a voluntary conservation agreement that will be binding when the land changes ownership.
Join the Wildlife Land Fund Limited (which is fostered by Wildlife Queensland) and help acquire significant bush reserves that can be responsibly managed for wildlife conservation.
Contact your local State Member and the Environment Minister to ask what the Queensland Government is intending to do to support this initiative in Queensland
More information about the corridor.

Reflections on CSW 57
Even though the document that came out of the Commission on the Status of Women was not perfect (e.g. it did not explicitly defend girls and women from discrimination or violence based on their gender or sexual orientation) it IS a "win" for women. In her blog for a newspaper, Dr. Cheryl Saban wrote "When you contemplate what it really takes to get consensus on a …document at the UN that places accountability squarely on its 193 member states to 'do it right, or we will call you out publically,' just close your eyes and imagine [your national legislative body] trying to pass a bill. Now think about them doing it while they are all speaking different languages…and attempting to accomplish this mission in two weeks' time." She said she was not sure the public has a sense of how complicated this whole process was…indeed, how complicated everything is at the UN!
As you read in the last Update, the topic of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) this year was on Violence Against Women and Girls. Who could disagree with ending that? The loudest disagreements came from conservative Muslim countries; at one point the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood said that adopting a proposal about equality in marriage and other human rights for women would result in "the complete disintegration of Egyptian society," and an imam declared a fatwa. Egyptian women erupted into protests, and the strong women and men at the conference–determined to work through the problems of culture, language, and politics–worked through every word to finish an 18 page document that could be adopted by all 193 countries. Libya was the only country that did not approve, but did not block it.

Defiant Indigeneity: The Politics of Hawaiian Performance
Stephanie Nohelani Teves
Softcover, 234 pp
"Aloha" is at once the most significant and the most misunderstood word in the Indigenous Hawaiian lexicon.
For Kānaka Maoli people, the concept of "aloha" is a representation and articulation of their identity, despite its misappropriation and commandeering by non-Native audiences in the form of things like the "hula girl" of popular culture. Considering the way aloha is embodied, performed, and interpreted in Native Hawaiian literature, music, plays, dance, drag performance, and even ghost tours from the twentieth century to the present, Stephanie Nohelani Teves shows that misunderstanding of the concept by non-Native audiences has not prevented the Kānaka Maoli from using it to create and empower community and articulate its distinct Indigenous meaning.
While Native Hawaiian artists, activists, scholars, and other performers have labored to educate diverse publics about the complexity of Indigenous Hawaiian identity, ongoing acts of violence against Indigenous communities have undermined these efforts. In this multidisciplinary work, Teves argues that Indigenous peoples must continue to embrace the performance of their identities in the face of this violence in order to challenge settler-colonialism and its efforts to contain and commodify Hawaiian Indigeneity.

Hessian Lake, Orange/Rockland counties
Indian summer fishing outside the Big Apple
By Dan Ladd
Perhaps this Halloween, you'll find yourself reading, watching or listening to one of the many versions of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and its tale of a headless horseman believed to be a Hessian soldier killed in battle during the Revolutionary War.
Sleepy Hollow (the town, not the reservoir that recently served up a new state record for white crappie), is located in the southern Hudson Valley. About 20 miles north, and on the opposite side of the Hudson River, in the Palisades region, sits Hessian Lake, a small, but popular fishery in Bear Mountain State Park.
Hessian Lake will likely be popular around the spooky holiday as well. It is historically known as the location where, following a bloody Revolutionary War battle in 1777, American Patriots tossed 250 Hessian soldiers they had killed into the lake. For years it was known as Bloody Pond and remains a popular ghost hunting spot. The lake is also known to be dangerous to swimmers, an activity that is off limits there.
If you're an angler, you might not care about that stuff, especially if you live in the NYC Metro area and are looking to get outside, perhaps on a fine Indian summer day.
Hessian Lake and two state parks offer plenty in the form of recreation, including for anglers. Starting with Hessian Lake itself, a foot trail around the pond makes it easily accessible for shore fishing. There's also boat rentals available at the park which can be arranged by calling guest services at the Bear Mountain Inn at 845-786-2731.
While a recommended Palisades region fishing brochure says Hessian Lake has brookies, browns and 'bows, it is brown trout that saw the most stocking efforts this year. In March, 100 browns of 12 to 15 inches were stocked, followed by nearly 744, 8-inchers in April.
Bass fishing, meanwhile, seems to get the most praise when it comes to Hessian Lake as social media message boards light up with talk of trophy smallmouth bass.
For local anglers, or even those traveling to the area in the mid-fall, there's plenty of other fishing opportunities in the region. Of course, the Hudson River is just over the hill. Better yet, Harriman State Park and it's many waters await.
Between the two parks (Bear Mountain and Harriman) and Sterling Forest, hundreds of miles of trails leading to several fishable ponds beckon the mobile angler. Again, it comes down the informative brochure for the Palisades region.
Harriman State Park is the second-largest park in New York. It sports 31 lakes and reservoirs, 200 miles of hiking trails, beaches, camping areas, miles of streams (some trout streams) and scenic roads.
There area is popular and therefore there's also a plethora of rules and regulations, thus the importance of the brochure.
For example, fishing from shore is permitted from a half-hour before sunrise until a half-hour after sunset
Several water-bodies are not open to fishing. These include lakes Minnewaska, Awosting; Upper Cohasset, Lower Cohasset, Upper Twin, Lower Twin, Queensboro, Summit, Turkey Hill lakes; Breakneck, Cedar ponds; Doodletown, First, Second, Third, and Letchworth Village reservoirs.
On the other end of the spectrum, the Palisades region offers several fishing sites for the physically challenged. Among those are lakes Tiorati and Skannatati, Blue Lake and along the Ramapo River near Route 106. A gate key must be purchased to access the handicapped fishing area at Lake Tiorati, which can be attained by calling the beach office at 845-429-8257.
What's great about both parks, especially for traveling anglers, is the accommodations. At Harriman State Park, glamping is now offered during the warm-weather season while at Bear Mountain State Park, the Bear Mountain Inn remains a popular facility known for its rustic atmosphere.
Ice fishing is permitted at Hessian Lake and a number of other ponds in the Palisades region, but they come with a strong disclaimer, especially in recent years when conditions just haven't warranted safe ice on many waters in Southeastern New York.
Still, when conditions allow, ice fishing is permitted in Harriman State Park on Askoti, Kanawauke, Massawippa, Nawahunta, Sebago, Silvermine, Skannatati, Stahahe, Te-Ata, Tiorati, Welch, Hessian, Rockland, Blue, Eagle, and Little Dam lakes; Four Corners and Laurel Meadow ponds.
Meanwhile, the heart of autumn is upon us and fall fishing on Hessian Lake and others could be just the ticket for some Indian Summer pleasure.
Hessian Lake is located in Bear Mountain State Park, just west of the Hudson River near the Bear Mountain Bridge. Harriman State Park and West Point Military Academy are also nearby.
Trout season is open all year on Hessian Lake and ice fishing (if there is safe ice) is permitted here and ate of the fisheries in Harriman State Park.
If fishing other ponds in the Palisade's region be sure to download and read a special brochure that details the fishing regulations for several ponds at: parks.ny.gov.

Denis Johnson posthumously awarded Prize for American Fiction
By Ron Charles
Ron Charles
Critic, Book World
The Prize for American Fiction arrives tinged with sadness this year. Denis Johnson, who died in May, has been named winner of the award by the Library of Congress. His widow, Cindy Johnson, will accept the prize on his behalf during the National Book Festival in Washington on Sept. 2.

Denis Johnson was the author of many works of fiction, poetry and nonfiction, including the devastating story collection "Jesus' Son" and the Vietnam War novel "Tree of Smoke," which was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize and won a National Book Award.
Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden chose Johnson for the annual Prize for American Fiction in consultation with an international jury of authors and critics.
Johnson got word privately that he had won the prize in March. At the time, he wrote to Hayden, "The list of past awardees is daunting, and I'm honored to be in such company. My head's spinning from such great news!"
Previous winners of the prize include Marilynne Robinson, Louise Erdrich, E.L. Doctorow and Don DeLillo.
Johnson died of cancer on May 24 at the age of 67. This is the first time the Prize for American Fiction will be conferred posthumously.
"Denis Johnson was a writer for our times," Hayden said Tuesday in a statement. "In prose that fused grace with grit, he spun tale after tale about our walking wounded, the demons that haunt, the salvation we seek. We emerge from his imagined world with profound empathy, a different perspective — a little changed."
[Washington Post review of 'Tree of Smoke']
Johnson's agent, Nicole Aragi, recalls encountering his work before she met him. "Not long after I moved to the U.S.," she said, "a friend recommended I read 'Jesus' Son.' I'd never read anything so skinless, so harsh, so tender. I had no idea that I'd get to work with him some day, that I'd get to read his words before they were published, that I'd get to pick up the phone and hear him tell a funny story — all his calls included at least one funny story."
Hearing the news of Johnson's posthumous honor, author George Saunders said: "He was our most poetic American short story writer since Hemingway, I think, a wonderful American descendant of the great Russian Isaac Babel, in his ability to coax out the beauty in mayhem via phrase-level discipline. In his work, attentiveness makes poetry, and darkness and light are seen to be two manifestations of the same essential life-force."
The son of an American diplomat, Johnson was born in Munich in 1949 and spent several years of his childhood in the Washington area. He earned a master's of fine art from the Iowa Writers' Workshop, but success came slowly and only after bankruptcy and considerable agony. His first books — novels and collections of poetry — sold poorly. He struggled grievously with alcohol, heroin and other substances. In 1993 he told The Washington Post that the harrowing stories in "Jesus' Son" were largely autobiographical.
With that collection, however, his career accelerated rapidly. Several of the stories had appeared in the New Yorker and "Best American Short Stories." The book was later adapted into a film starring Billy Crudup.
His novella "Train Dreams" (2012) was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, but in a cruel twist of fate, the Pulitzer board declined to award the fiction prize that year.
Johnson's most recent book, "The Laughing Monsters," was published in 2014, and Random House plans to release his second collection of stories next January.
The Prize for American Fiction honors an American writer whose body of work "is distinguished not only for its mastery of the art but also for its originality of thought and imagination." As part of the Library of Congress National Book Festival, the award presentation will be open to the public at the Washington Convention Center on Sept. 2. The Washington Post is a charter sponsor of the festival, which is funded by corporate sponsors and private donors, led by David M. Rubenstein, the National Book Festival board co-chairman.
Ron Charles is the editor of Book World.

I trust we have all seen by now the $15.000 ostrich skin jacket and the $18.000 python leather jacket.
They are in a sense just the highlights of a rather peculiar sartorial arsenal that includes quite boxy plaid and pinstripe suits, reminiscent of what characters wore in The Sopranos. (And by the way, these photos tell me that the FBI agents or whoever took these photos does not care about fashion all that much. It's a rather sad way to present evidence of an allegedly debauched life-style).
The critical assessment and frequent condemnation of sartorial choices and strategies have of course been a long-standing part of political discourse, and, as one might expect, mostly directed at women. When First Lady Michelle Obama during a vacation in 2009 disembarked from a helicopter in shorts, T-shirt and sneakers/trainers, fashionistas went into red alert mode. As summarised by Robin Givhan, 'the first lady can't be – nor should she be – just like everyone else. Hers is a life of responsibilities and privileges. She gets the fancy jet. She has to dress for the ride'. More dramatically, in 2012 the wives of the UK and German UN ambassadors launched an internet-based petition on Change.org in which they tried to shame Asma al-Assad, the wife of the Syrian president, into a more active role in ending the civil war in Syria. Clearly, to no avail… Male politicians and leaders have usually been exempted from such critical review of their sartorial strategies. The link between sartorial signifier and political signified – disrespect for the office, moral corruption – are not as firmly established here. But significantly, exceptions apply: UK Prime Minister Tony Blair wearing jeans just a bit too tight, President Obama in a tan suit in 2014, and of course the (in)famous take-down of Donald Trump by Robin Givhan. So the 'sartorial deconstruction' of Paul Manafort further amplifies this trend. We might say that these gentlemen 'mispronounced' a sartorial seme, or meaning-carrying entity, while still referring to its recognisable vocabulary. A dodgy suit colour, a jacket a size too big, a tie much too long, are still recognisable as familiar transgressions of the Washington sartorial code. What sets Mr Manafort apart is his use of the wrong sartorial vocabulary. Whatever he tried to signify with python leather and ostrich skin does not fit with the sartorially quite conservative Washington power crowd. But the focus on his idiosyncratic fashion choices makes it possible to 'exoticise' (apropos python and ostrich) and thereby ostracise him from a culture of which he as a lobbyist was an all too typical member.
In one way it is good to see that male politicians and operatives are increasingly held accountable for their fashion choices, something female politicians have been experienced for so long. So let's demand the same care and competence that female politicians put into their daily sartorial choices from their fellow male colleagues! There are books aplenty which teach men the basics of the male sartorial code. Suit jackets should not be quite as long as the shirt sleeve underneath, and a tie should not dangle below the belt. And no striped shirt with a striped jacket. Very basic, very simple rules. All that is required is some attention.
On the other hand, fashion here again becomes 'ideological' in that the focus on the peculiarities of his wardrobe masks and distracts from the fact that Mr Manafort was a typical Washington insider and anything but 'exotic'. As a Washington Post article's headline recently stated, 'America is Swarming with Paul Manaforts'. We should not let his miserable fashion choices distract us from that.
