There are three different types of keyword search traffic data; broad, phrase and exact. This article explains the differences and advantages and disadvantages of each.
Broad- Counts all the searches that include all the search terms, in any order and with any number of other words in between.
Phrase- Counts searches that include the search terms in that order, with no other words in between but with any number of other words before or after.
Exact- Counts only searches for that exact phrase, in that order and with no other words.
The ratio of phrase/broad searches can give us an indication of whether the search term we are analysing is the most popular order and fit for the broader niche. A low PBR could mean that a different order of the search terms might be more appropriate or that most people search with other terms in between the terms being analysed.
Never use broad match to analyse individual keyword search traffic, only as an indication of the total size of the niche and to calculate the Phrase to Broad Ratio, discussed above. Use exact match as a safe indication of search traffic with phrase match being what you can expect as your page/website gains more authority. In the longer term you can expect your traffic to approach the broach match figure but this traffic will likely have higher bounce rates and lower conversion rates as its much less likely to be relevant.
For keyword competition analysis, use phrase/exact match (which are the same thing when doing competition analysis). Broad match will give an indication of how many webpages are targeting the general niche while phrase/exact match will tell you how many webpages are targeting your specific phrase.
I should point out that there is still some disagreement in the internet marketing community over which match type is the most important to look at. The video below, from Market Samurai, gives a great explanation of each match type and also addresses keyword competition. The video also explains the alternative view that broad match data should be used when assessing potential keyword search traffic.
Traffic analysis is an important part of keyword research. Some adjustments need to be made to the raw data to get figures more useful for local SEO.
Google provides some very useful data through their generator tool that gives us the number of searches for different target keywords. For Australian keyword research we can only narrow the data down to the country level, not individual cities. Therefore some adjustments are required to give us an estimate of keyword traffic for a specific city.
One option is to attribute the number of searches coming from a city as proportionate to the relative population size. Adelaide has a population of around 1.28 million which is 0.064 of the population of Australia (20 million). The Google keyword tool tells us there are 60,500 (broad) searches for 'Indian Restaurant' in Australia every month. If we make our adjustment, we can attribute 3872 of those to Adelaide (0.064 x 60,500).
Keywords that already have a location included in them, such as 'Indian restaurant Adelaide' don't need an adjustment as the vast majority of searches are going to be from Adelaide already. Below is a table compiling search data for keywords that include 'Adelaide' as a location identifier and keywords that have been adjusted to Adelaide from entire country data.
This data is for searches over a month. Due to the nature of broad match data there is some cross contamination of searches, e.g. the unadjusted data for 'indian restaurant' would include searches for 'indian restaurant adelaide,' therefore this table should only be used as a guide.
There's both 'Adelaide' and adjusted keywords within the most searched terms so its important to consider both when assessing local keyword traffic.
The next step in keyword research would be to compare the competition for the various keywords. My post from last week covers local keyword competition analysis.
Just thought I'd point out a couple of milestones for the blog.
I'm looking forward to many more milestones to come.
When assessing various target keywords for local search engine optimisation, how do you determine the true keyword competition for the local market.
The best search method to gauge the local competition for a keyword would depend on how wide your market is and how they tend to conduct a local search. My preferred method is to add a location keyword to ensure I'm getting local results. If your business is only relevant to the local market, such as a restaurant, then the true competition for that keyword would be only other restaurants in Adelaide. Lets look at some data for the keyword 'Indian Restaurant' from the perspective of an Adelaide business.
The most relevant results seem to come from the Places search so we can probably assume the the searching trend will be towards that method of search, although adding 'Adelaide' to the search did result in a lot of relevant results also.
We can only conclude that the true local keyword competition for 'Indian Restaurant' is somewhere between 682 and 170,000, which isn't very precise. Further, the ease of ranking for this keyword would depend very much on the strength of the top results.
Another problem is that Google only gives keyword search volumes for Australia as a whole, not individual cities or states so its difficult to determine the value of the keywords as well, but that's a subject for another post.
UPDATE 21/4: Loc made a good point in the comments below regarding the different between broad, phrase and exact match in keywords research. I have used 'Broad match' searches for this article which gives a wide scope of competing websites. In keyword competition analysis, 'phrase' and 'exact' match searches are pretty much the same.
Broad match- a broad match to the keywords simply means that the web page contains all of the words searched for, in any order and with any number of other words in between.
Phrase/Exact match- the webpages returned from a phrase/exact match search, which is done by using "quotation marks around the keywords," are those that contain all of the words in that exact order.
You may have noticed that my blog design has changed significantly. Once I had the chance to use my old blog design for a few months I discovered it had a number of short comings so I decided to change to a new design to improve the usability and effectiveness of my blog.
Changing a website's design is very easy if you are using a content management system (CMS) such as Blogger, which I use, or Wordpress, which is also very popular. All you need to do is go to a website that lists lots of different template designs and pick the one that's right for you.
Two column design so the page was less cluttered.
Sidebar on the right so the content is the first thing that users and search engines will see.
Large text and clean font for easier reading of posts.
Large posting (content) area to allow for longer lines meaning less scrolling and wider content such as images, videos and tables.
Horizontal navigation that is highly customisable.
Simple and clean design for faster page load times and easier reading.
I went through quite a few different designs before I settled on this one. This design is called 'Twenty Ten' and has been adapted to Blogger (by The Man Who Walked Thru Wall) from the most recent default Wordpress template. I would have liked to have something a bit more unique, many Adelaide Bloggers use this design, but in the end this one has the least number of problems.

Inbound link building by sponsorship is a link buying technique not yet discounted by Google.
Link Buying is generally frowned upon by Google and other search engines as a 'black hat' SEO technique. Google considers inbound links as 'votes' for the quality of the website being linked to. However, if someone is able to buy these links then its really only an indication of the size of their bank account rather than the quality of their website and content.
Google often penalises websites that buy or sell links that pass PageRank but sponsorship link building seems to have remained largely untouched. Many of the websites that have sponsors are for non profit events, clubs and community groups so it would be pretty bad PR for Google if they were to penalise these websites or their sponsors. If they were to take action they would probably just discount the links so they carry less or no weight.
Local or Topical- The most beneficial links are those from webpages that are related to your subject, your location or both. If you are targeting the local market then links from other local websites are important. Websites related to your subject (topic or industry) are also very important.
Keywords- Related to the point above, ideally the 'sponsors' page will have keywords relating to your topic or location so the search engines know that the page is relevant to you which makes the links more beneficial.
Followed Links- You want links that are 'followed' meaning the website is telling the search engines that we trust, endorse and 'vote' for this website.
Anchor Text- The link will be more beneficial if the link text is one of your keywords rather than just your company name or your logo.
PageRank- This is a measure of how valuable the page is. You want links from pages that have a higher PageRank.
Number of links on the page- The fewer outgoing links on the page, the better.
Leverage social media by taking advantage of its unique features. Prepare and execute a plan.
What unique features does social media have over traditional media and how can they help with marketing?
Discussion- You can have a back and forth with your visitors, address their questions and concerns. Creates interesting content through several authors.
Reviews, Ratings & Comments- Gives you valuable feedback, helps others make decisions about which product to buy and which company to get it from, can make your business seem more transparent and trustworthy.
Sharing- Your users can easily share content of yours that they like with their friends which can help you get a greater audience.
Connection- Through user accounts, 'liking,' 'fan-ing,' 'following,' etc. you can keep in touch with your visitors and give them multiple opportunities to convert.
Targeting- By monitoring for mentions of your brand and using data that people freely provide about themselves it's much easier to target your message to exactly who you want to receive it.
Personality- The nature of social media allows interactions on a much more personal level which can help people trust your brand and company and form a relationship with it much more easily.
Your social media marketing plan needs to leverage the unique aspects of social media to provide a benefit to your company. Mashable has a great article listing many of the different types of social media marketing and some notable companies using each type.
When starting your social media efforts or even deciding whether to get involved, use the MAIL approach to get started. The MAIL acronym stands for: Monitor, Analise, Interact, Lead. (I learnt about it from @LeeHopkins who attributed it to @davidjones).
Monitor mentions of your brand, your competitors and keywords related to your products, services and industry.
Analise those mentions to determine the best way to get involved in the discussion.
Interact with those who are doing the mentioning.
Lead by providing valuable content to your audience, continuing to interact and creating brand advocates out of your customers.
For moving forward and formulating a Social Media Marketing strategy, here are some awesome tips I learnt during my recent interview with Tom Williamson.
Target and interact with customers on an individual basis. Give them a personalised approach to try and turn them into advocates for your brand.
If you have an offline marketing strategy that works, bring that strategy online by creating and enhancing its social aspects.
Focus on creating interesting and valuable content that people will want to share and giving them the tools to share it.
Engage people by encouraging them to interact with you, make suggestions and give you feedback. This will help with branding.


Sambahana involves a full body massage with a great deal of warm oil, which is usually individually chosen for every client. Universal oils can also be used.
During the massage not only the body switches off, but also weariness completely vanishes, all of the muscles relax and your body regains strength. Besides a fully positive physical effect, this massage has uniquely powerful healing abilities, because it affects both, the physical and the energetic – ethereal, emotional and mental – bodies. Thus, the finer levels of the human's body are revived, which are the basis for spiritual weariness, which, in turn, can create physical exhaustion and even illnesses.
Session length 90 or 120min.

Q: Can a (non-)controlling process detach its controlling terminal by closing its file descriptor? In a process session with a controlling terminal,

*

*if the controlling process closes the file descriptor of the controlling terminal, does the process session become detached from the controlling terminal, i.e. not have any controlling terminal?

*What if a non-controlling process in the session closes the file descriptor of the controlling terminal?
Thanks.

A: libc manual: "… All the processes in a session inherit the controlling terminal from the session leader.
A session leader that has control of a terminal is called the controlling process of that terminal. …"
According to typical "daemonize" scenario the only way to get rid of controlling terminal is to create new session. Closing file descriptors wouldn't do that.

A: By default the program has no file descriptor associated with a controlling terminal, so there is nothing to close. You can open it, but then closing it has nothing to do with the controlling terminal association.

Analysis: Montez Sweat has been in the first round conversation for quite some time, but he has really become the talk of scouts and draft personnel after he broke the NFL Combine record for defensive lineman when he ran a 4.41 40-yard dash. On tape, his physical tools are evident–but that number he put up in the forty seemed to separate him from others at his position. He is raw and his transition to the NFL will not be quick, but if a team really works with him and shows patience, he can develop into something special. I view Sweat similar to Arden Key, who I scouted last year and had bust written all over him (literally, it says that in his profile)–but Key proved me wrong, having a solid rookie season for the Raiders and I have learned my lesson labeling these types of players as 'busts'. It all depends on the work he will put in, not only in the film room, but in the weight room–he needs to add muscle to his frame and get with his position coach to learn the inter-workings of the defensive line, specifically mastering a set of pass rush moves. He will not survive on physical ability alone in the pros. All the tools are present to succeed.

Γνωμοδότηση της ΕΟΚΕ: Matrimonial matters/matters of parental responsibility/ international child abduction (Brussels IIa)
The EESC:
welcomes the proposed changes to the procedure of returning an abducted child to make it more efficient. In the EESC's view, this could include the adoption of common minimum standards, including a uniform enforcement procedure. Better cooperation between central authorities is essential in cross-border proceedings and is in the best interest of the child;
welcomes that Member States should be obliged to concentrate jurisdiction in a limited number of courts and that the proposal introduces time limits, and allows only one appeal in return proceedings. It supports the idea that the court of origin could declare a decision provisionally enforceable even if this possibility does not exist in its national law and suggests that any child who is capable of forming his or her own views has the right to be heard. Minimum standards could help to avoid refusal of recognition, enforcement or "exequatur" of a decision handed down in another EU country;
supports the abolition of exequatur for all decisions and for authentic instruments and agreements on parental responsibility, however, safeguards should be maintained. The EESC supports that the court of the Member State of refuge can order urgent protective measures if required and proposes that the draft be amended to specify that placement in a foster family should, wherever possible, take precedence over institutional care, which should avoided;
The EESC advocates the establishment of free counselling arrangements for parents who come from a country other than the child's current country of residence. The EESC considers that there is a need for regulation in cases where one parent does not come from the European Union;
The EESC considers that the scope of application of the Brussels IIa Regulation needs to be clarified. Even if marriage is defined according to "national" criteria, Member States are required to comply with Article 21 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, which prohibits discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation. The EESC proposes that compliance with Article 21 be mentioned in one of the recitals of the Regulation.

Dave Harrington - Before This There Was One Heart But A Thousand Thoughts Dave Harrington is Nicolas Jaar's partner in Darkside. He's the one who gives the group its bluesy sting and its spacey soar, which are held in place by Jaar's more traditional songcraft. Before This There Was One Heart But A Thousand Thoughts is an ambitious 20 minutes that jumps from Reichian guitar layering to buzzing techno. In other words, a whole lot of ideas that wouldn't fit on a Darkside record.
Ambition isn't much without focus, however. It's hard not to be swayed by the opening array of sweetly singing guitars on the first piece, but once they snuff themselves out the track waddles into a ponderous upright bass solo that feels pompous and out of place. A touch of Fennesz-style majesty finishes the suite, as beautiful licks of melody contrast with a wall of distortion behind them.
The second track develops more naturally, starting with an unsettling passage of rattling metal that burns off into static, before the noises return as a lurching techno beat. Think Pan Sonic performing in an elegant concert hall. Bringing us back to the realm of classicist composition that Darkside sometimes wrestles with, a schmaltzy sax solo finishes the track with very little subtlety. It's a histrionic end to a showy, sometimes overblown release.


I can make that. That's usually the response I have before I start considering a new DIY project.
I love to make things. We love to make things. KT and I. Sometimes it is just for the sense of accomplishment. Other times, it's a great creative outlet. And often time, it is making something we have never made before.
The questions I ask myself in no particular order before I start any DIY project are: Can I make it? Can I buy it instead? Is it exactly what I wanted? Would I enjoy making it myself? Is it worth my time making it myself? What is the cost of making it vs. the cost of buying it? Do I want to buy the item or the brand?
Can I make it? Can I do it myself?
That's almost always the first question my inner maker ask myself when I look around our house for the next home improvement project. When I'm window shopping and see something I like. When I see someone else making something I like.
We were shopping for a patio table about two summers ago. We saw a basic white patio table at World Market that we really liked. And we decided we can build something similar. I wrote about that here.
Can we buy it? Is it exactly what we want? Do we love it?
For the patio table, that's a yes and a no. We like the style. It was affordable. But it was not big enough. We want a table where we can easily sit six people and comfortably fit eight people. We have a big extended family. You can read the posts about how I made the patio table here and here.
Would I enjoy making it myself? Is it worth my time? Is it cost effective?
A few years ago, KT and I excitedly decided to build some guitar replicas of famous ones he likes. (We have yet to finish – we got side track with planning a wedding, renovating our home, and raising a family). It is expensive to build a good quality guitar but it is totally worth it, especially since guitars like Stevie Ray Vaughan's Lenny were last auctioned off for a six digit figure. Also, I don't mind putting a few months worth of time into making a piece that KT will use and treasure, whereas I would NEVER want to spend a few months retiling our roof even IF I thought I can do it. Just imagine KT practicing on guitars I made!
Do I want to buy the item or the brand?
Recently, I found myself asking this question. I've been into ampersands for a while now. When we were window shopping on our babymoon, KT pointed out this giant ampersand he could make for me. I was totally on board. But when I recently saw that Elise Joy was releasing a limited edition of a wooden ampersand, I wanted to buy it. (Unfortunately it was sold out by the time I got Logan up, changed, and fed, only two hours after it was released!). It was the brand that sold the product for me. Of course, it doesn't hurt that I love the ampersand too.
So next time if you're wondering why I decided to make something myself instead of buying it, you know the answer. I couldn't find the exact item I wanted. It's fulfilling. I like to make things.
Next week, I'm going to share the mobile I made Logan. Anyone else making anything lately?

The College of Pharmacy has raised more than $29,000, exceeding the endowment goal of $25,000 for its Faculty and Staff Endowed Scholarship.
This fall, the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Pharmacy became the first among the six colleges on campus to establish and award a faculty and staff endowed scholarship.
Eighty-six percent of faculty and staff in the college contributed to the scholarship as of August 31. The college has raised more than $29,000, exceeding the endowment goal of $25,000.
Wade Dickerson, who is in his third year of pharmacy school, is the first recipient of the scholarship. He was chosen from an applicant pool of students who demonstrated financial need, academic aptitude, and involvement with the college and the local community.
Dr. Chisholm-Burns wanted to provide an additional way for faculty and staff to give back to their students. Although the UTHSC College of Pharmacy is the highest ranked, lowest cost among pharmacy schools in Tennessee, most students still require financial assistance through loans or scholarships.
Third year Pharmacy student Wade Dickerson was the first recipient of the scholarship.
According to the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, the average amount borrowed from 2017 graduates who attended a public institution is $136,328. Faculty and staff in the college wanted to ease pharmacy students' financial burdens that may come with attending professional school, so that students can focus on their studies and be involved in the college through student organizations and public service.
Class of 2020 student Jason Breakfield, was instrumental in generating faculty and staff contributions for the scholarship. He spoke about the importance of scholarships to the college during a May faculty and staff meeting. He was asked by the dean to do this, and says he is grateful for the opportunity to be part of the successful initiative.
Below are images of the Pharmacy faculty and staff who contributed to the scholarship.

I'm searching for downloadable Yevon's font. How I wish have that. Is fun to write my own name in Yevon's scripture. Can anyone help me?
That's hiragana, not Yevon's script.
But wouldn't it be cool to get someone make a page about all those ideograms in the game? They looked cool, and I'm interested in that sorta fings.
Nope, not this. Nait right, I want to found this type of font.
Is also lyric to the hymn of the fayth but is in Yevon's script. Yevon's script are a bit similliar to Buddhist's Sanskrit font.
Anyway, thanks for your info.
Seems like someone has just taken all the glyphs from the game and assigned them alphabetic values. Which is either not canon, or kinda stupid. Like writing "k" or "b" all over the walls... Except if they also double as ideograms.
A full translation on Yevon script. Now I can read well on them but I still want font file.
Doesn't seem very official, and the spiral analogy is a bit far-fetched. Why would yevonites base their writing-system on the latin alphabet? If they speak English, the latin is inadequate, if they speak Japanese, they have Hiragana upon which to base it. I still maintain that this system was supposed to be wholly ideographic, and maybe not to be used as a writing-system at all.
Seems you'd want the Spira script instead of the Yevon script... But we don't have a lot of that, now do we? The map had some, but the map was blurry.
Besides, Sanskrit isn't a writing-system, it's a language. Buddhist books are written in different writing-systems, depending on when and where they were written.
I guess I have to work with my own bare hand. I'll try to make Yevon script, Spira, script and Al Bhed script.
Ok! Here is Yevon's font. I'm finally found it!

Q: Why lsof reports a higher number of open files of user than what ulimit says should be allowed? I have checked the result for user kpiserv
[kpiserv@***** ~]$ lsof -u kpiserv |wc -l

5358

[kpiserv@***** ~]$ ulimit -a

open files                      (-n) 1024

Why lsof reports a higher number of open files of user than what ulimit says should be allowed?

A: Open files limit is per process. An user can have multiple processes that total FD count can be greater than open files limit.
From setrlimit(3) man page:

RLIMIT_NOFILE
         Specifies a value one greater than the maximum file descriptor number that can be opened by this process. Attempts (open(2), pipe(2),
  dup(2), etc.)  to exceed this limit yield the error  EMFILE.

Blueprint for single unitary Leicestershire council published
Detailed proposals for creating a single unitary council covering the whole of Leicestershire, and abolishing the county's seven district authorities, have been published.
The 100-page draft blueprint compares the different options for a major restructuring of local government in the county, and concludes that the creation of a single unitary authority "offers the best opportunity to save money, reduce duplication and protect front line services."
It is estimated that bringing together the eight county and district councils into one unitary council would save £30m each year.
The idea was first proposed by the leader of Leicestershire County Council, Nick Rushton, in June last year when he said he wanted to "start a conversation" about redrawing local government in the county.
In a statement from the council accompanying the 100-page roadmap, Rushton said: "In my view, unitary local government works. Creating a council fit for the 21st century would save £30m a year, improve services, reduce confusion and duplication and get a better deal for our residents."
An independent review of the draft strategic business case said the blueprint represents a "sound basis for presenting potential savings and planning next steps."
READ MORE: Unitary report for Rushton-backed Leicestershire County Council drawn up
The document will now be discussed by the county council on 22 October, and will then be considered for approval by the Scrutiny Commission, cabinet and full county council in the coming months.
Rushton added: "Local government still faces severe, long-term financial challenges – and these are likely to get worse since the Government is having to delay its fair funding review.
"Add in the backdrop of national uncertainty, and that's why we need to be ready for a new Government and a new domestic policy agenda, particularly if it continues to be dominated by tackling the shortage of funding for local services.
"I look forward to hearing the views of the Scrutiny Commission and hope that in December, the county council can agree a settled position."
The move to a single unitary authority for Leicestershire has been far from popular amongst the region's district councils, however.
In September, the leaders of all seven district authorities released a joint statement asking Rushton to drop his bid for a unitary council and instead look at a more collaborative approach to reorganisation.
And in a joint statement responding to the release of the latest blueprint, they said: "The seven district councils in Leicestershire continue to work collaboratively to deliver highly-effective and efficient services to residents.
"It is our view that better and cheaper services can be delivered through greater collaboration while keeping services local to the people who use them.
"There is an open invitation to the county council to work with us on ideas for future collaboration."

New video promoting Hull's hospitals for people seeking career changes
Communications Team 12th December 2018 News
Looking to start 2019 with a career change?
A three-minute video has been produced by the organisation running Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital showcasing the opportunities available to people who decide the new year is the time to land their dream job.
Part of its "Remarkable People, Extraordinary Place" recruitment campaign, the video will also be shown at university job fairs all over the north of England.
The video features renowned Paediatric Surgeon Sanya Besarovic along with nurses, physiotherapists and consultants explaining how teamwork helps our teams produce the best possible care for patients.
They also speak of their love for the city they call home.
Simon Nearney, Director of Workforce and OD at Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "Our trust has outstanding opportunities to offer people, whether they're looking for their first job, considering a career change for 2019 or looking to progress their careers.
"We want to show people what a fantastic city Hull is and why they should come and work for us.
"We can offer people their dream jobs, whether that's in clinical roles with our doctors, nursing staff and allied health professionals like physios and operating department practitioners right through to support services with finance, IT, HR and estates jobs."
Anyone interested in working for the trust should visit www.joinhey.co.uk or visit the HEY NHS Jobs page on Facebook.


The Blades were beaten 2-1 in their fifth round replay at the KC Stadium after Hull benefited from a controversial own goal by Kyle Naughton. England Under-21 defender Naughton handed Hull a 24th-minute lead when his errant header was ruled to have bounced over the line after crashing off the crossbar.
"We have lost a game we haven't lost," he said. "The first goal isn't a goal."
Replays offered no definitive proof the ball had crossed the line and Blackwell thought the Blades had been on the end of a poor decision.
Blackwell added: "They can stand here and try to persuade me until they are blue in the face, but that isn't a goal.
"The official has made a decision and he is not 100% sure - that is what is the disgrace.
"Somehow we have lost and I don't know how it is."
The Blades managed to claim an equaliser through Billy Sharp but Peter Halmosi settled the game in Hull's favour after 56 minutes. There was further controversy, however, with United denied a penalty after Sharp was apparently tripped by Kamil Zayatte.
Blackwell added: "If a manager and players get it wrong, you get sacked or dropped. If officials get it wrong they get a game the following week.
"I think when officials have as poor a game as that they should be made to face the reporters, as we are, and ask why those decisions they are made.

Exetel shuns 'pointless' Interpol filter
Exetel has joined ranks with Internode and TPG with respect to the limited filtering scheme being rolled out by Telstra and Optus, with the ISP's chief executive John Linton today stating it would not implement the scheme unless required to do so by law, and describing the industry association backing the project as "a bunch of wankers with nothing better to do with their time than pointlessly pontificate".
Along with Telstra, Optus has pledged to implement a voluntary filtering framework developed by the ISP industry's peak representative body, the Internet Industry Association. The filter, which is being seen as a more moderate industry approach developed in reaction to the Federal Government's much more comprehensive filter scheme, will see the ISPs block a "worst of the worst" list of child pornography sites generated by international police agency Interpol.
However, a number of other ISPs, such as Internode and TPG, have taken a strong stand against the project, stating they will only implement the scheme if the law requires them to do so. iiNet has also cautiously stated that it will comply with the law but has stopped short of backing the scheme.
Today, Exetel chief executive Linton said his company would do "whatever the law requires it to do". "As far as I know, subject to correction, Australian law not only does not require Exetel to ban any IP address without a Federal warrant and should we do so would expose Exetel to action by people who are might claim to be inconvenienced by such action(s)," he said.
Linton further said that if anyone — "certainly an organisation with the resources and clout of Interpol" — knew the IP address of sites hosting child pornography, then they would presumably be in "a far better position" to shut those sites down than a small Australian ISP like Exetel.
Those promulgating filter schemes in Australia have regularly highlighted the difficulty of shutting down sites hosting objectionable content when they are located in international jurisdictions without cooperation agreements with Australia, with commonly cited countries including those in the former Soviet bloc in Eastern Europe, for example. However, Linton rejected this argument for filtering content in Australia.
"And yes I am aware of the whining about 'rogue countries' — such whimpers are made by people ignorant as to how the internet actually works – a 12 year old could close down those sites (or any site) in a few minutes," he said.
It's not the first time Linton has opposed filtering initiatives. In November 2008, as the debate around the Federal Government's much wider mandatory internet filtering scheme was gaining full force, Linton wrote a harshly satirical article about the initiative, noting that his company had been invited to "the fourth Reich's official sub-site where we could find the details of how to participate in Herr Krudd's and Obersturmfuhrer Conroy's scheme to purge the Fatherland of the filth emanating from the diseased brains of the untermenscen".
"… is that the sound of a heavy military truck screeching to a halt and the sound of jackboots on the drive?" Linton added.
Today, Linton also criticised the organisation promulgating the Interpol filtering scheme — the Internet Industry Association — which represents ISPs and other organisations with an interest in the development of the Internet in Australia. The IIA stated last week that its filter scheme would be implemented for between 80 and 90 percent of Australians this year.
"The IIA is simply a bunch of wankers with nothing better to do with their time than pointlessly pontificate," said Linton. "Can you tell me anything useful it has ever brought about?"

*"And yes I am aware of the whining about 'rogue countries' — such whimpers are made by people ignorant as to how the internet actually works – a 12 year old could close down those sites (or any site) in a few minutes," he said.*
there're three ways:
(i) filter at destination (ISP DNS filter)
(ii) filter at origin (pressure uplink providers to disconnect the offending ISP host)
(iii) DDOS the website (the wikileaks approach)
have i missed anything?
Nightkhaos 07/07/2011 At 6:06 pm
Yes, Filter all paths. (An) upstream provider(s) can (agree to) filter a set of content at (the) POI(s) to prevent those upstream from accessing the content.
PeterA 11/07/2011 At 8:23 pm
I would actually support the DDOS option.
Cause enough traffic from enough locations *outside* the offending countries, and watch those countries close off those sites themselves.
Who would host a website that caused every other website they hosted to go offline? Pretty quickly there wouldn't be any money in hosting CP (or whatever they are trying to stop at the time).
Government sanctioned DDOS… maybe a bunch of countries could get together and sanction their militaries to DOS people! Declare war on internet child porn.

AMSTERDAM — The Netherlands' prime minister has halted the search for remains of victims of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 disaster in Ukraine, saying it is too dangerous to continue.
At a news conference in The Hague Wednesday, Mark Rutte praised the effort of the international recovery mission so far, and promised victims' families the search will resume in the future when Ukraine is "more stable."
"We're stopping now, but we won't stop," he said.
Flight 17 was shot down in eastern Ukraine on July 17, killing all 298 people on board. In all, 228 coffins with remains have been returned to the Netherlands, but it is not known how many victims that number represents.
Rutte said that now that the international recovery team has been able to access the site and communicate with local authorities, it has learned the recovery effort undertaken by local authorities immediately after the crash was more thorough than initially thought.
The international team of Dutch, Australian and Malaysian recovery workers was unable to reach the site until July 31 because of fighting in the area between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russia separatist rebels. Since then, it has found remains of only a few victims, despite expectations it might find as many as 80.
Rutte said that it now appears "fortunately that more was done after the disaster than we thought until now."
Local Ukrainian authorities carried out "an intensive search in the area with 800 volunteers, and there were many bodies recovered in those (first) days," he said.
Those remains are being identified in the Netherlands.
A separate investigation into the cause of the crash is continuing, Rutte said.
Earlier Wednesday, a spokesman for the Dutch Safety Board, which is overseeing that investigation, said preliminary findings due Aug. 17 won't be ready until several weeks after that date. Wim van der Weegen said in a telephone interview that is in part because of the difficulty investigators have had in reaching the crash site.


News & Education / Should you lend money to family or friends?
Lending and borrowing money from a bank follows certain procedural guidelines that have evolved over centuries. Meanwhile, personal lending — that is making or taking loans with friends and family — has been going on for just as long, but firm guidelines haven't developed because each situation is unique.
There is, however, a way to make family loans safer and more secure for all parties involved.
There are strong reasons against giving a personal loan to family or friends. The biggest has to do with your own personal finances. Most people aren't really liquid enough to risk losing that money, and by assuming that all the money loaned will be lost, you'll quickly realize what size of loan you can reasonably make. If you're dipping into a retirement account, emergency fund or other necessary funds to make the loan, it's not a loan you should be making.
Family conflict, tax problems and complacency (especially complacency) are some of the other things to worry about. If your family or friends come to you for loans simply because you lend at a low (or no) rate, then you are hurting your own finances to subsidize theirs.
A loan from a bank or credit union will help them build a good credit score, as well as financial responsibility. On the other side of the coin, when interest rates begin eating away at a borrower's income, the bad habit of living outside of their means may be broken.
The reasons against personal loans often evaporate in the face of emotional considerations, when one of your loved ones "needs the money." In this case, you have to make a clear distinction between a gift and a loan. A gift has no expectation of repayment, while a loan should be paid back in full, including any interest, and must be documented in writing. Giving a gift is a personal choice based mostly on emotion while making a loan has to be done in a logical manner.
Regardless of whether the loan is large or small, you have a right to know how it will be used. If the reason doesn't sit well with you (for a vacation, rather than a mortgage payment), kindly point your prospective debtor to the nearest bank.
How Long Will It Take to Pay Back?
If the loan is a bridge loan to the next paycheck, you may feel comfortable with a zero-interest, no terms handshake. If the loan is of a significant size or will take more than a month to pay off, get it in writing. Memories of the original agreement usually fade over time, so you will need documentation.
What's the Borrower's Current Financial Situation?
Although this is often overlooked, you have a responsibility to yourself and the other party to make sure that he or she is in a decent financial situation before loaning money. It can be uncomfortable, but remember that the borrower came to you for money, not the other way around.
Think like a bank and, if their situation is too dire, then say no.
This doesn't mean you shouldn't help. Maybe you can offer to help pay for a financial planner rather than give a loan. Lenders of personal loans often realize after it's too late that they've poured cash into a leaky boat. This leads to meddling after the fact. Since you no longer have bargaining power when the deal is done, nothing can be gained but resentment.
Verbal contracts hardly ever end well. Problems crop up even with small, short-term loans. For example, if the payment comes two months late and you had to put all your groceries on a credit card, then you actually lost money because of the loan — money you'll never get back because there were no terms. Writing up contracts for even the smallest loans will discourage people from constantly coming to you unless it's truly warranted. Both parties should work together on the terms before signing.
The following are some necessary aspects of any solid loan.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can be nasty when it comes to no-interest personal loans, especially large ones. Charging near the market interest rate will replace the interest you're losing by pulling that money out of a savings account or money market fund for the duration of the loan.
This should outline the size and date of each payment. It should also state what happens in the case of a missed payment. You may choose not to have any penalties for late payments, but that can result in the loan payments taking the lowest priority in the monthly budget — and possibly being bumped in favor of less-than-necessary expenses like a night out on the town.
Clear conditions need to be written up in the case of the death of either the lender or debtor. With family members, this is especially important because of the dispersion of the estate. If one child has received a $10,000 loan, and the estate pays $30,000 to each child regardless, then you've just turned your wake into a family feud. You may want to add additional conditions according to the situation. For example, if you're lending to help someone buy a home, you can secure the loan to the property.
After getting the loan in writing, it's worth running it through a legal and/or financial professional. Your lawyer or accountant will probably have some good advice on conditions and may act as a third party for the signing. Small loans, especially those for less than $500, may not be worth the cost of notarizing the contract, but large loans should be part of the legal record.
Personal loans can be a nightmare if either of the parties fails to approach it seriously. If you don't feel up to going through all of the aforementioned steps, but still want to make the loan, there is an alternative. Third-party companies have sprouted up to act as intermediaries in personal lending. For a fee, they will handle the contracts and set up automatic payment withdrawals. Some even report to credit agencies, and in the process can help the debtor build up a good score (providing more incentive to avoid a missed payment). This adds a fee burden to the debtor's loan, but it is better than going forward with a poorly thought-out arrangement.
If all goes well, you will be able to close out the loan, having helped a loved one, without harming yourself. In the worst-case scenario, you've only loaned money you were prepared to lose and, if you choose, you have a legal document to back up a claim.

CHOICE Study Looking at How Couples Cope with Diabetes
By Vanessa Orr
People who have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes need to make a lot of adjustments in their lives—managing the disease can mean taking medicine, eating a healthy diet and keeping track of blood glucose levels, among other things. But when a person with diabetes lives with someone else, the disease can also affect his or her partner's life. The CHOICE (Communal Health of Interacting Couples Exchange) study, which was started in September of 2012, is designed to determine how couples deal with diabetes. "A lot of research has been done about how individuals with diabetes cope, but it is really a disease best seen in the context of families," explained Vicki Helgeson, professor of psychology, Carnegie Mellon University. "We decided to narrow that down to a study of couples as a way to try to determine how partners can make life either easier or more difficult for someone diagnosed with the disease."
The study, which is still accepting participants, is also designed to look at the way different races deal with the disease. "There has been some research done, but usually out of 100 couples, 80 are white, 10 are black, six are Asian and four are Hispanic, so basically, these studies show how middle-class white couples deal with the disease," said Helgeson. "Our goal is to have an equal number of black and white couples participate in the study; of the 112 couples now enrolled, 66 couples are white, 41 are black and five are mixed race." To be eligible to take part in the study, one of the partners must have been diagnosed with diabetes in the last three years.
According to Helgeson, it is believed that couples who approach diabetes in a communal way and work together will have better outcomes. "When the study is completed, we hope that it will enable us to give couples ideas about what is helpful and what is not helpful, and will guide us in developing interventions," she said.
Helgeson gave the example of a partner who might think that she is being helpful by reminding her husband to take his medicine every day. "Unfortunately, this might really annoy him, and he may stop taking his medications to show that he is not influenced by his wife," she explained. "While these reminders may be helpful to some couples, others may see it as controlling, which may call for a more subtle approach.
"What do you do to help your partner eat well?" she continued. "If the support partner eats well, that can go a long way. But some more subtle ways to help may include buying healthier groceries, or going to a restaurant where there are healthy selections."
Couples who take part in the study are asked to undergo a two-hour, in-person interview, and will have a height, weight and blood pressure screening. The person with diabetes will also undergo a finger prick to test blood glucose control. The couple must also complete a short questionnaire on a table computer (provided by the study) once a day for two weeks. For completing the study, each couple receives $400.
"We decided to participate because we thought it would help people," said Shirley Carney, who recently completed the study with her husband, Rick. "It's really easy to do, and the nurses who came to visit us were awesome." Shirley credits Rick with helping her to manage her diabetes by keeping her motivated, encouraging her to exercise and by helping her keep track of her diet.
When the study is complete, the findings will be published in scientific journals, as well as shared with clinics and health centers, and through other public outlets. "Depending on where people are first diagnosed, they may not receive all of the education they need," said Helgeson. "Patients don't get the same information from a primary care physician, emergency room doctor, clinic nurse or endocrinologist, so they have varying degrees of understanding."
The study is still accepting more participants. To learn more, call Pamela Snyder at 412-268-2784 or email ps3x@andrew.cmu.edu.

Visit PortugalThe Lisbon Airport: What to Know for Your Flight to Lisbon
This guide will introduce you to the Lisbon airport, and help you plan your next vacation in Portugal.
We'll discuss what the Lisbon airport is like, which airlines fly to Lisbon, and how to make your flight to Lisbon as smooth as possible.
Lisbon's Humberto Delgado Airport: An overview
Air travel to and from Lisbon is pretty easy. This is largely because the airport is small and easy to navigate. There are two terminals in the Humberto Delgado Airport. Terminal 1 is in the main building and is bigger and better organized. Terminal 2, to the south of the main airport building is home to the low-cost airlines.
The first thing to mention is how close the airport is to the city. Most places in the city take a short 15 to 25 minutes to reach in a cab. The taxis to the city are very cheap and well worth it, unlike most other city airport taxi transfers. There are also buses and, conveniently, a metro station located directly at the airport itself.

Beware, being a small airport, when it's quiet you will be able to get through security and to the gate in a matter of 15 minutes but when its busy it could take more than an hour. As is often the case with small airports, when they are crowded, chaos ensues. Budget more time than necessary if you're planning a Christmas, New Year, or mid-summer trip to or from Lisbon airport.
The airport sees around 29 million visitors per year, so it can be fairly congested at times considering its size. There are plans to eventually build a new airport.
What to expect at the Lisbon airport
For EU flights, we would recommend leaving an hour and a half before the gate closes as your proposed ETA at the airport. If you have luggage to check in the hold this time should allow for you to organize that too.
If it's an international flight, you should plan two hours ahead of the gate closure time written on your boarding pass. This will be more than enough time, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
If you're an EU citizen and are travelling to another EU country in the Schengen zone, you can simply bring along your ID card. However, if you're travelling internationally or to a country outside of the Schengen zone like the UK, you will need your passport.
You'll also find passport control to be after all the duty-free shops, so don't miss a fight by spending too long shopping.
Services at the Lisbon airport
Lisbon airport has all of the typical airport amenities including Wifi throughout the airports operated by VINCI. There are also cafés, restaurants, and duty-free stores.
At the airport there are also bureau de change services in both departures and arrivals, to help with your travel money conversion needs. The rates at these outlets can be unpredictable and high though, we would always recommend using a digital-only bank like the Transferwise borderless account for travel money needs. Read our article here for a comparison on digital-only banks.
Parking facilities are also available at Lisbon airport for long and short stays. However, if you're leaving Lisbon for a trip a taxi would be far less costly than parking your car for the duration. The open-air parks for long stays cost €5 per day.
Flights to Lisbon, Portugal
The most popular airlines connecting Lisbon to other European cities are TAP, Air France, Easyjet and Ryanair.
TAP Air Portugal is the official airline of Portugal, and is far more civilized and comfortable than the budget airlines. With a regular ticket booked through their site each passenger is entitled to a 32kg bag as well as a carry-on bag. Whilst the ticket prices may appear initially higher than the budget airlines, you make up the costs in savings on luggage, as well as food and drinks provided during the flight. Staff are also very professional and friendly in my experience too.
Air France has a similar level of service to TAP. You will only be entitled to a 23kg bag with a regular economy seat mind.
Easyjet and Ryanair are based in Terminal 2, which is the smaller, older and less efficiently run wing of the airport. You will find the cheapest tickets on these airlines, particularly if you book in advance.
Unless you travel extremely light you will always need to pay extra to add baggage on Ryanair now. They have even lowered the included hand luggage allowance to a purse size — not even a small rolling carry-on anymore — unless you pay extra. One hack of this system is to pay for priority boarding at €12 which entitles you to an extra trolley bag in addition to the purse-sized bag, rather than adding the case for €25.
Easyjet still allows a small trolley case, but only one per passenger. If you cannot fit any extra bags you have into the other trolley case at boarding, you might be subject to pay €60 extra.
Flying from Lisbon to Faro, Porto, or Seville
Flights from Lisbon to Faro, booked three months in advance, cost around €150 round-trip, per person. The flight takes 45 minutes only and is operated through TAP. We would recommend hiring a car over flying to get from Lisbon to Faro, particularly if you are 2 or more. The route is really simple to find and easy to drive. It will work out cheaper and it will take a similar amount of time without the faffing around at security with the separation of liquids and so on.
Flying to Porto is a little bit cheaper at around €80 round-trip per passenger. The flight, operated by TAP Air Portugal, takes just an hour. We would recommend taking a train or driving over taking the plane in this case also. Portugal is really quite a small country and the distances are not long at all. Considering the hassle that flying can be these days, the train and car options appeal a lot more. Not to mention renting a car will save you money.
The flight to Seville is again around €80 round-trip through Ryanair or around €140 round-trip through TAP. The duration of the flight is 1 hour and 10 minutes. In this case we would recommend flying over driving, as its quite a lot of distance to cover in the car and takes more than 4 hours to drive.
Airport transfers from the Lisbon airport
When you arrive in Lisbon airport you can find a cab to most places in the city for no more than €13. There are taxi ranks outside the departures and arrivals of both terminals.
Rideshares
If you want to get an Uber, or better still a Bolt, you should walk to the right out of arrivals and go up the escalator in Terminal 1. You can meet your driver just across the zebra crossing in the car park. This is dead easy and can cost around €7 to €10.
At Lisbon airport you will, of course, find rental cars. A warning, in summer the lower end of the budget rentals can be a complete nightmare. Certain car hires have their parking and car collection a 15-minute bus ride away from the airport, for which you will have to wait in line to even get on the transfer bus. It's been known to take hours to pick up rental cars from some of the lower-end rental companies in high season. So make sure to pick a reputable company and to plan enough time in your trip to get the car (and drop it off!).

With Booking.com you can book the best hotels in Portugal for the cheapest price. Get instant confirmation, pay 0 booking fees and even cancel your booking for free at most hotels.

As previously mentioned, the Metro station is situated directly at the airport itself. You'll catch the Aeroporto – Saldanha line, which will take you to downtown Lisbon in about half an hour. The airport buses go to Rossio and Praça de Espana and cost €4 per person.
Airport transfers offer total convenience, especially if you're travelling with family or lots of luggage. It's also one less thing to worry about if it's your first time in Portugal, because you'll have the certainty of a friendly, English-speaking person waiting for you at the gate.
Keep in mind you can also use airport transfers for longer trips, for instance, if you land in Lisbon but need to go to the Algarve. Here's our recommendation for a reputable airport transfer company, Welcome Pickups.
Tips for traveling to Lisbon
When planning your trip to Lisbon, or flying home from Lisbon make sure to give yourself enough time — particularly if you are travelling during high season or using rental cars. Organization is key for having a great holiday anywhere, and especially as it's a small airport that can get very crowded!
Be sure to plan your flights, airport transfers, and car rentals well ahead of time. You'll often get far better deals for booking accommodations early, too.
