A 3.5% growth expected for Kuwaiti construction with $125b spend ...

As Kuwaiti exhibitors at The Big 5, the region?s largest construction show, triple in numbers in recent years

Kuwait?s construction sector is expected to grow 3.5 per cent in 2012, according to a report from NGI commissioned by The Big 5 2012, with US$125 billion to be spent by 2015 according to Business Monitor International. Kuwait has always been seen as a market with significant spending budgets and lots of potential within the GCC?s construction industry, further highlighted by the substantial rise in Kuwaiti construction companies participating in The Big 5 over the past few years.

Taking place from 5 ? 8 November, at the Dubai World Trade Centre, The Big 5 brings together thousands of regional and international businesses, products and technologies from across the building and construction sector. The event has seen significant increase in Kuwaiti exhibitors from 2010 to 2011, with further growth expected this year again. Visitors to the event from Kuwait have also become more numerous year after year, with a rise of almost 36 per cent from 2010 to 2011.

?Kuwait?s influence at the event, and within the region?s construction industry as a whole, has grown consistently over the past few years,? said Andy White, event director, The Big 5. ?We have seen Kuwait?s presence at The Big 5 grew significantly in the past three years, together with an increase in the attendance of key buyers from the country, who attend our specially dedicated platform for decision makers with budgets of more than US$100 million, and are looking to be directly connected with the right products and contacts at the event.?

With a history spanning 30 years, The Big 5 has grown to become an extremely influential platform for those looking to build their presence in the Middle East market, as well as giving regional professionals access to the very latest information and trends from the international industry.

One Kuwaiti exhibitor set to capitalise on opportunities available during The Big 5 is insulation solutions company KIMMCO. General Manager ? Operation, Hannes Visagie, said: ?We look for specific events that will help us showcase our unique portfolio of products and superior technical services to our clientele.? The Big 5 creates a platform for us to do just that ? it allows us to meet and interact with a broad group of stakeholders, including existing and potential customers, distributors, influencers and government officials.?

The Big 5 2012 will take place from 5-8 November at Dubai World Trade Centre, with PMV Live, Middle East Concrete and FM EXPO taking place alongside. As a result of market demand, The Big 5 Kuwait will launch in September 2013, providing an unrivalled platform for the building and construction industry to access the opportunities and knowledge of the local market.

Mountain Dew BMX Event Accused Of Being Too Rad, Sugary, Low ...

From SFist?..

The Dew Tour event that has been taking up a lot of space at Civic Center this week has finally seen some sick airborne action today, but not before it was harshly criticized by a member of the city?s Board of Supervisors.

If you guessed Supervisor Eric ?Happy Meal Ban Guy? Mar was the one to balk at the extreme sporting event, you would be incorrect. The District 1 incumbent may be trying to green-up your corner store, but he was mum on the yellow #5 outside of City Hall at this week?s meeting. Instead, Supervisor John Avalos stepped up to criticize the ?inordinate amount of time? the event, and other recent events like it, has shut down Civic Center Plaza while crews erect all those sweet jumps and vert ramps.

In addition to the weeks of prep, there?s also the awkward issue of putting a Mountain Dew-sponsored event across the street from a City Hall that might actually be allergic to high fructose corn syrup. The city put all those anti-childhood obesity PSAs up on Muni, after all, but those will never be as awesome as Dew-fueled halfpipe sessions downtown. So nobody should ever come to San Francisco and do anything awesome in the name of soda, basically.

Finally, Avalos said his office has received reports that the workers who actually built all that extreme playground equipment aren?t being paid adequate wages. (Which is really more in Avalos? progressive area of expertise, so maybe he should have just led off with that. It would be preferable to having the Big Soda talk again.) Avalos said he has his people looking into the matter, so if that turns out to be true it will be disappointing for those promises that sponsored events like this bring in local jobs at fair wages. Not to mention the cheapskate contractors and the event organizers that hired them.

Domain Names and Tips for Selecting | Clark Marketing

A domain name is your online address on the Internet. All computers on the Internet have a unique identifying number ? an Internet Protocol address. Because this address is difficult to remember, we use a domain name ? a unique name that corresponds with an Internet Protocol address.

We are often asked by clients does our website domain name need to be exactly the same as our registered business name? The simple answer is NO.

A domain name is promoted so that customers can easily find your specific goods or services. Each website has its own distinct domain name, allowing it to be distinguishable from other sites.

Tips on choosing a Domain Name

Here are some tips on selecting a domain name for your business.

?Keep it short

Short domain names are easier to remember, and are also easier to fit on business cards and other marketing materials.

Keep it simple

Make it easy to type and easy to spell.

Make it memorable

If it?s memorable visitors are more likely to pass it on and remember it in the future.

Make it unique

Choose something unique?if your domain name is similar to your competitors it may confuse your customers.

?Make it relevant

Choose keywords or phrases that potential customers will be searching for. Research this by doing a keyword search in Google and seeing which websites show up and how they?re ranked.

Avoid using numbers

Try to avoid using numbers if you can, particularly the number 0 which is easily confused with the letter O.

Choose the right extensions

If you have an international scope then go for the Top Level Domains, such as .com, .net and .org. If you?re aiming for the Australian market only then go for the .au domain names, such as .com.au, .net.au and .org.au.

Do it now!

Domain names are unique, so secure yours as soon as you can before someone else snaps it up!

Once you?ve found the perfect domain name, it?s a good idea to register variants of it. It will protect your brand and online identity, and drive more traffic to your website.

Does you need help in researching and selecting the right domain name? ?We are happy to help and advice you . Call us now on 03 9739 5445 or?contact us?on line.

90% Robot & Frank

All Critics (77) | Top Critics (31) | Fresh (69) | Rotten (8)

"Robot & Frank" hits all the right notes - romantic, fantastic, tragic and sweet.

There's a warm and poignant interplay between the co-stars.

Langella ... is tremendous.

It may not seem like an even playing field pitting an actor as powerfully intense as Frank Langella opposite a robot, but that's the game plan behind the waywardly endearing, slightly futuristic fantasy Robot & Frank.

Much of Robot & Frank is (frankly) resistible, including the climactic narrative twist, but there is also a likeable oddness that transcends the sentimental contrivance.

An endearing movie about a human and his mechanical new buddy.

An hysterically funny, breathlessly paced and moving meditation on old age and existence, topped by an award-worthy turn from Frank Langella. One of the year's best.

Jake Schreier and scriptwriter Christopher Ford go well beyond the initial fun of the robot conceit to craft a thoughtful film musing on both the ageing process and our relationship with technology.

A little gem of a movie about aging and obsolescence that is also a very modest sci-fi cautionary tale.

... a marvel of the highest order. Robot and Frank manages to seamlessly blend comedy, science fiction and drama into a film that is hilarious, truly original and utterly heartfelt

This blend of sentiment and genre fancy is not unlike something Ray Bradbury might have contrived for The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.

Robot & Frank is an airy, engaging flight of fancy. It's also part caper film, part character study, and part allegory about aging. Robot & Frank shouldn't work, but it does.

..never hits the easy and obvious beats of a buddy comedy; there's no sentimental bonding between man and mecha man. Similarly, though it feints toward romance, the relationship ... resolves in an unexpectedly bittersweet way.

"Robot & Frank" is a study of a man who lives with his past mistakes but can't shake how truly alive they made him feel when he was making them, regardless of what they cost him.

Hodgepodge of moods built around an unlikely story of friendship between a man and his service robot, the film carries itself confidently, with occasional moments of significant emotion.

They get the robot right, with fluid movement (by dancer Rachael Ma) and canned warmth in its user-friendly voice (performed by Peter Sarsgaard).

What a weird, winning little movie is Robot & Frank.

The chief spectacle here -- and it's a good one -- is Langella in gruff, curdled mode, an underappreciated master actor slipping seamlessly into a bespoke role.

"Robot & Frank" is so endearing it's easy to forget it's science fiction.

The movie is sweet and agreeably unambitious, derailed only by an egregious third-act twist.

Frank Langella gives a terrific performance as the second of the two title characters in this modest but heartfelt science-fiction comedy.

There's no denying the, err, chemistry between Langella and his nameless buddy.

Amusing and ingratiating, leaving a bittersweet afterglow

Korean IPTV service LG Uplus launches a Google TV-powered set-top box

Korean IPTV service LG Uplus launches a Google TVpowered settop box

While we've seen the Google TV platform spread to additional manufacturers and some new lower-priced form factors, LG Uplus (not the same as LG Electronics) is the first we've seen offering a set-top box for its IPTV service based on it. new and existing customers alike can opt for the U+TV G, which will blend live TV streams, video on-demand and Google TV apps. Rapper Psy will be playing a large part in a national campaign to promote the offering, and after making Korea the tenth country Google TV is available in, Google says it will continue to work with providers around the world. Jumping inside the cable box is a notable move for the project, however at home hasn't significantly improved integration beyond that originally offered by Dish Network, and it's not even built into the Google Fiber set-top box. Check out a few (oddly silent?) demo videos embedded after the break.

Affordable Android-powered MG device targets young gamers

Android Central

A Wi-Fi-only Android device called the MG was announced for pre-order today. Apparently MG stands for More Game, or My Generation, or something. It isn't made by anybody you've heard of, but they're hoping the low pricetag, preloaded games, parental controls, and included $10 credit towards Google Play apps will rope in at least a few moms and dads.

The MG has a Gorilla glass-clad 4-inch 480 x 800 display, a 1880 mAh battery with 3.75 hours of playtime, and a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera. It runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and is powered by a single-core 1 GHz processor. Needless to say, hardcore gamers may be more interested in the Xperia Play, aged as it may be, since there are familiar hardware gaming controls included. It seems like MG is geared more towards to younger kids and their parents that want to monitor usage, though.

Scientists discover that shape matters in DNA nanoparticle therapy

Saturday, October 13, 2012
This illustration depicts DNA molecules (light green), packaged into nanoparticles by using a polymer with two different segments. One segment (teal) carries a positive charge that binds it to the DNA, and the other (brown) forms a protective coating on the particle surface. By adjusting the solvent surrounding these molecules, the Johns Hopkins and Northwestern researchers were able to control the shape of the nanoparticles. The team?s animal tests showed that a nanoparticle?s shape could dramatically affect how effectively it delivers gene therapy to the cells. The cartoon images in the foreground, obtained though computational modeling, matched closely with the gray background images, which were collected through transmission electron microscopy.

Researchers from Johns Hopkins and Northwestern universities have discovered how to control the shape of nanoparticles that move DNA through the body and have shown that the shapes of these carriers may make a big difference in how well they work in treating cancer and other diseases.

This study, to be published in the Oct. 12 online edition of the journal Advanced Materials, is also noteworthy because this gene therapy technique does not use a virus to carry DNA into cells. Some gene therapy efforts that rely on viruses have posed health risks.

"These nanoparticles could become a safer and more effective delivery vehicle for gene therapy, targeting genetic diseases, cancer and other illnesses that can be treated with gene medicine," said Hai-Quan Mao, an associate professor of materials science and engineering in Johns Hopkins' Whiting School of Engineering.

Mao, co-corresponding author of the Advanced Materials article, has been developing nonviral nanoparticles for gene therapy for a decade. His approach involves compressing healthy snippets of DNA within protective polymer coatings. The particles are designed to deliver their genetic payload only after they have moved through the bloodstream and entered the target cells. Within the cells, the polymer degrades and releases DNA. Using this DNA as a template, the cells can produce functional proteins that combat disease.

A major advance in this work is that Mao and his colleagues reported that they were able to "tune" these particles in three shapes, resembling rods, worms and spheres, which mimic the shapes and sizes of viral particles. "We could observe these shapes in the lab, but we did not fully understand why they assumed these shapes and how to control the process well," Mao said. These questions were important because the DNA delivery system he envisions may require specific, uniform shapes.

To solve this problem, Mao sought help about three years ago from colleagues at Northwestern. While Mao works in a traditional wet lab, the Northwestern researchers are experts in conducting similar experiments with powerful computer models.

Erik Luijten, associate professor of materials science and engineering and of applied mathematics at Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science and co-corresponding author of the paper, led the computational analysis of the findings to determine why the nanoparticles formed into different shapes.

"Our computer simulations and theoretical model have provided a mechanistic understanding, identifying what is responsible for this shape change," Luijten said. "We now can predict precisely how to choose the nanoparticle components if one wants to obtain a certain shape."

The use of computer models allowed Luijten's team to mimic traditional lab experiments at a far faster pace. These molecular dynamic simulations were performed on Quest, Northwestern's high-performance computing system. The computations were so complex that some of them required 96 computer processors working simultaneously for one month.

In their paper, the researchers also wanted to show the importance of particle shapes in delivering gene therapy. Team members conducted animal tests, all using the same particle materials and the same DNA. The only difference was in the shape of the particles: rods, worms and spheres.

"The worm-shaped particles resulted in 1,600 times more gene expression in the liver cells than the other shapes," Mao said. "This means that producing nanoparticles in this particular shape could be the more efficient way to deliver gene therapy to these cells."

The particle shapes used in this research are formed by packaging the DNA with polymers and exposing them to various dilutions of an organic solvent. DNA's aversion to the solvent, with the help of the team's designed polymer, causes the nanoparticles to contract into a certain shape with a "shield" around the genetic material to protect it from being cleared by immune cells.

Jeter breaks ankle in ALCS, out for postseason

(AP) ? Delirious only minutes earlier, fans at Yankee Stadium sat stunned in utter disbelief while they watched Derek Jeter being helped off the field, his left leg dangling.

Their worst fears were met, too. The durable captain broke his left ankle in the 12th inning of the AL championship series opener on Saturday night and is out for the rest of the postseason.

"It's kind of crushing," outfielder Nick Swisher said.

Three innings after Raul Ibanez sent the crowd of 47,122 into a frenzy with a tying two-run homer in the ninth inning, the New York shortstop silenced the stadium when he went down and didn't get up after making a tumbling stop on Jhonny Peralta's grounder.

That feel-good moment was gone in a flash.

Jeter took four steps to his left for the sharp grounder, landing hard on his left foot, falling and wincing in pain as he flipped the ball toward second base. He then rolled onto his stomach, and a collective gasp was heard when the player who symbolizes championship baseball didn't get up.

Jeter remained on his side, rolling slightly, as trainer Steve Donahue and manager Joe Girardi checked him out. He was helped up, and he put an arm around Girardi and Donahue. They coaxed him off the field with Jeter not moving his left leg as chants of "Derek Jeter!" rang out.

"You can see the disappointment in his face," Girardi said after the Yankees' 6-4 loss.

A teammate on three World Series championship teams, Girardi wanted to carry Jeter off the field but the shortstop would have none of it ? not the player who has always been reluctant to sit, and prides himself on playing through pain.

"He said, 'No, do not carry me.' That is the kind of guy he is," Girardi said.

Girardi said the injury won't jeopardize Jeter's career, but the recovery will be about three months.

If the Yankees are going to go deep in the postseason, they will now have to do it without the five-time World Series champion for the first time in 16 years.

Tigers outfielder Delmon Young found it difficult to watch one of the game's greats leave the field that way.

"He is an idol for many baseball players," Young said.

Jeter has been a constant in the Yankees' lineup since he was AL Rookie of the Year in 1996. In fact, the 2000 World Series MVP has played in all 157 of New York's postseason games since then.

That is over now.

"I can't tell you how much I appreciate his toughness and his grit," Girardi said. "It's, to me, a great example for everyone. And I am not just talking about athletes, I am just talking about everyone that goes through struggles in life or goes through pain in life."

Already missing career saves leader Mariano Rivera, also a five-time champion, since early May because he tore a ligament in his knee shagging flyballs, the Yankees will activate Eduardo Nunez before Game 2 of the series on Sunday. Jayson Nix is expected to start at shortstop.

"It's a tough loss, but it's not going to be something that we're going to, you know, let it derail us," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. "But it's tough to lose, obviously, any important player. Derek's obviously been as important as anybody. But now he's been taken out, so Nix has got to go in there, and we've got a lot of confidence in Nix."

Jeter was the designated hitter in Game 4 of the AL division series after fouling a ball off the same foot the previous night and had to come out after the eighth inning. It was the first time he didn't start a playoff game at shortstop, as Nix got the nod in his place.

"I saw him flip the ball to Robbie (Cano), and you figure he's going to get back up," Swisher said. "When he didn't was when I knew something was wrong. You know he wanted to get up and get off the field as quickly as he possibly could."

Written off as an aging star after slumping in 2010, Jeter struggled to adapt to a no-stride swing in '11 before going on the disabled list for only the fifth time in his 17 full seasons in the big leagues with a calf injury. He returned revitalized, getting his 3,000th hit and finishing strong.

Jeter surged this year, posting a remarkable season for a 38-year-old player as he batted .316 with a AL-leading 216 hits. He carried that over to the postseason, hitting .364 against the Orioles.

Earlier Saturday, Jeter became the first player in baseball history to reach 200 hits in the postseason with a single in the second off Doug Fister. He was left stranded, though, a common problem for the Yankees these playoffs.

With Alex Rodriguez benched, and Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson and Swisher in playoff funks, Jeter was one of the few constants ? getting help from late-game guru Ibanez ? in the Yankees' lineup.

"You've got to come back," Ibanez said. "He's obviously a great player and a huge part of the team and a captain. But, at the same time, you try to move forward, fight and come back. The guys will have to step up."

Analysis: Biden rekindles controversy over administration's Libya statements

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration's latest verbal bungle over the chain of events leading to the deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya, rekindled the controversy over the incident on Friday and offered new ammunition to Republican opponents.

In Thursday night's vice presidential debate, Vice President Joe Biden insisted that "we weren't told they wanted more security" at the ill-fated U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, where U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens died.

Biden's statement, at least on the surface, appeared to contradict congressional testimony less than 48 hours earlier from State Department officials, and offered a fresh opening for Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney, who has repeatedly sought to attack the White House over the issue.

It was the latest example of a White House, which has long prided itself on "message discipline," flubbing its own message on the Libya attacks. President Barack Obama and his aides have struggled to explain why they first described the violence as growing out of protests over an anti-Muslim movie, only later to acknowledge it was an organized attack by militants.

In a written commentary the day before Biden spoke, prominent national security analyst Anthony Cordesman said the administration had "fumbled the situation by going into a state of confused denial" about Libya. The administration should also have made a stronger case for establishing on-the-scene diplomacy in a volatile environment such as post-Gaddafi Libya, he wrote.

Cordesman also said the Republicans had turned the Benghazi events into a "gotcha" contest where the president is somehow blamed for "largely local security decisions."

The White House was quick to defend Biden on Friday, saying he had been speaking only for himself and Obama - in other words, not for anyone else in the administration who might have heard about the dangers facing Americans in Libya's relatively lawless second city before Stevens and three other Americans were killed on the night of September 11.

Romney went back on the offensive on Friday, saying Biden had contradicted the sworn testimony of State Department officials. "He's doubling down on denial," Romney charged.

REPUBLICAN CRITICISM FIRST TARGETED RICE

Biden's "we did not know" comment fed into Republican criticism that the administration had been less than truthful about a violent assault on U.S. interests during an election year in which Obama previously seemed to have the upper hand in foreign policy.

"We weren't told they wanted more security. ... We did not know they wanted more security" in Benghazi, Biden said in the debate with Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan.

Until now, the Republicans had focused much of their fire about Libya on U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice.

Rice, speaking from talking points prepared by U.S. intelligence agencies, suggested a few days after the Benghazi events that the violence appeared to have been sparked by protests over the anti-Muslim video.

Bob Corker, a senior Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said on Friday the administration had to have known right away that the assault on the mission was carried out by militants and was not triggered by a protest.

"Within 24 hours of the incident the administration knew that this was an orchestrated terrorist attack, and they clearly were aware of the specific details, including requests for additional security, that have finally been made public this week," Corker said in a statement.

"With the vice president continuing this ruse with his comments last night, all Americans should ask what the administration is trying to hide," he added.

At the congressional hearing on Wednesday, two U.S. security officers described their frustration that their requests for more security resources in Libya were ignored in the weeks and months before the assault on the Benghazi mission.

An official from the State Department's Bureau of Diplomatic Security acknowledged at the hearing that she had turned aside pleas for more security.

"I said personally I would not support it," the official, Charlene Lamb, said when asked about one particular request to extend deployment of a 16-person U.S. military team that left Libya in August, a month before the bloodshed in Benghazi.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Friday that Biden had been "speaking directly for himself and the president" with his comments about diplomatic security, not for the State Department, where Carney said such issues were "appropriately" handled.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton also tried to smooth over the controversy, saying the administration was dealing with the best available information as it came in about the events in Benghazi.

"To this day - to this day - we do not have a complete picture. We do not have all the answers. No one in this administration has ever claimed otherwise," Clinton said at an appearance with visiting Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi.

Cordesman, the analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said he did not believe Biden misspoke. He said the top echelons of an administration did not know all details of security requests that came in from "lots of crisis countries."

"This is the vice president of the United States, and you are talking about a security chain coming from one embassy, one consulate structure, in a highly unstable country," Cordesman, a former intelligence expert at the Pentagon, said in a telephone interview.

How will the new music distribution model look?

How do today?s youth listen to music? Beyond Ipods now many young people download music via audio samples on the web. What is the status quo when it comes to music distribution? Is music distribution destined to crumble as people download music illegally? How to promote a band and sell music online when so many people are stealing music from the internet?

With this booming popularity comes the dilemma of whether to download music legally that can be downloaded through programs such as iTunes, or to "illegally" download it from P2P (peer-to-peer) music websites.

In an article on RedOrbit.com ?Are You a Pirate? Teens Debate the Ethics of Illegally Downloading Music? Steven Koll says he buys his new music from iTunes. "I choose to download music and pay for it so that the artists get some recognition for their work," he said. "Otherwise, good new bands may stop producing CDs." Koll estimates that he?s bought about 500 songs for his iPod. In the same article Abby Broughton, a Hidden Valley High School freshman, says that for her to download music legally is a nonissue.

"My parents pay for my new music because they would rather me not do it illegally," she said. "So it?s never been a choice for me." Yet Daniel Fundakowski, an IT tech at Hidden Valley, said he sees teens illegally download music all the time on laptops issued to students by Roanoke County Public Schools."Everyone likes new music," he said. "And why pay for it when you can get it for free?" (Then how are artists supposed to sell music online and make a living we ask?) What has happened to the music community ethos? While he understands the reasons why some teens illegally download music, he said anyone caught with illegal audio samples on his school-issued laptop faces consequences.

However, he said, the school system is not responsible for turning students in to the police. Many teens agree that they don?t think about the consequences when they illegally download music. Daniel Arsura, a Hidden Valley freshman, never thought he would get caught with illegal music. But one day, his mom got an email from his Internet provider. "They said that they didn?t appreciate when I download music," he said. "They threatened that if I didn?t delete the offending music websites, then they would shut down our Internet." It was enough, Daniel said, to learn his lesson. Now he pays for his new ?music on iTunes.

Others feel it?s worth the risk to download music illegally, saying that paying 99 cents for each song adds up. "I never really feel guilty when I download music without paying for it," said Drew Hudson, a Cave Spring freshman. "If the new bands were really in it for the music, they wouldn?t care whether we?re paying for their new music or not."Teens said one disadvantage to iTunes is its limited database of artists and songs. The illegal music websites, on the other hand, have a larger database and variety of material, because no one regulates what material goes on the site. In fact, artists are losing money from people who download music illegally. The Recording Industry Association of America estimates revenue from artists who sell music online. As a result, the RIAA has filed lawsuits against many everyday people, from teenagers to grandparents to professors, when they illegaly download music. "When you go online and download music," the RIAA?s Web site states, "you are stealing." Local solo artist Cliff Wright said when he was in high school, the download music craze had just begun. "CD burners were brand new," he said. "Napster was just becoming big, Morpheus soon followed it, and I definitely downloaded music." He said he stopped downloading ?music after realizing how much work it takes for new bands to make it in the industry.

For amateurs and new bands, the Internet can be your best friend or your enemy.Artists such as Colbie Caillat, Sarah Bareilles and One Republic became as popular as they are now through music websites. "I myself have lost probably around $3,000 in the past year from people who download music," Wright said. His advice: Check out your favorite new bands MySpace page instead of downloading. But many teenagers, and even some musicians, think otherwise about downloading. A survey done by USA Weekend Magazine showed that 54 percent of teenagers don?t think there?s anything wrong with illegally downloading music. Others said it cheats the artist, but they do it anyway.

Voting for President Causes More Stress | Psych Central News

Voting for President Causes More StressWith Election Day just weeks away, a new study shows that voting in national elections is actually a stressful event with measurable hormonal changes.

?Emotional changes are related and affect various physiological processes, but we were surprised that voting in national democratic elections causes emotional reactions accompanied by such physical and psychological stress that can easily influence our decision-making,? said Hagit Cohen, Ph.D.,?from the Anxiety and Stress Research Unit at Ben-Gurion University.

The study was conducted on Israel?s Election Day in 2009 with people who were on their way to vote.

They were asked to give a saliva sample for cortisol testing and to complete a questionnaire examining their emotional arousal at a stand that was placed 30 feet from the ballot box. Cortisol is a hormone secreted in times of stress to help the body cope with threats.

The control group consisted of other people from the same area who were asked to give a saliva test and complete the questionnaire on post-election day.

Researchers discovered that the level of cortisol was nearly three times higher just before voting than the cortisol level of the control group.

When checked 21 months later, the cortisol levels in the voters were nearly twice the level of the control group.

The study also found that people were more emotionally aroused just before casting their ballots.

?Since we do not like to feel stressed out, it is unclear whether this pressure on Election Day can influence people and cause them not to vote at all,? Cohen said.

He noted that the impact on voter turnout is particularly important ?given that the stress levels rise if our preferred party or candidate for whom we want to vote is not popular in the polls.?

The study was published in the journal European Neuropsychopharmacology.

New SEO and On-Page SEO - SEO Site Checkup

Published October 12, 2012 ?

SEO has always been two part ? on-page SEO and off-page SEO.

?

But before the Panda Update, very few people put a focus on on-page SEO. It?s because with enough off-page work (mainly backlink building), it was possible to rank for almost any keyword. But, as you well know, that?s all changed.

?

Now, if anything, on-page SEO is more important than off-page. Especially post-Penguin, as Google?s pretty blatantly shown what they think about built backlinks.

?

In this world of New SEO, many internet marketers and online business owners are confused. They look at Google and think, ?why does Google continually change their mind on SEO?? Fact is, they really haven?t.

?

But once we SEO?s got into the game, Google HAD to start making changes. Because it was either that or let the rankings be dictated by marketers.

?

So Google did make some changes ? BIG changes. And it?s thrown us all for a loop.

?

But fortunately, we do have a direction. With ?New SEO?, we identify Google?s main goal ? that is, to stay #1 in the world of search.

?

With that in mind, we optimize our websites for USERS FIRST, SEARCH ENGINES SECOND.

?

In this article, we?ll go over a few tips on how to do that.

?

What?s the Searcher Looking For?

?

Whenever you search for something on Google, you?re looking to get the closest possible result to your search term.

?

So if you search ?piano theory lessons?, you?re literally searching for piano theory lessons. Now, if Google displays a website that?s optimized for ?piano theory lessons? but only sells pianos, you?re not going to be happy with your result!

As an internet marketer, SEO or online business owner, the key is to know your market. Know who?s looking for your website, and what, EXACTLY, they?re looking for. If you can identify this, you?ll know exactly what type of site to provide them with as soon as they hit their page!

?

The idea is to get your page to match as close to possible with the searcher?s intent. If you can do this, you?ll get Google love like never before.

?

Your Listing Matters

?

This is a HUGE DEAL. Listen up!?

?

Most people skip out on this and it is oh so important!

?

It?s not enough to rank on page #1. Realize that even if you are on page #1, you still have competition ? you?re competing with nine other listings! And they?re all claiming to have what the searcher?s looking for.

?

So how are you going to stand out?

?

Google?s given us several ways we can stand out. Three immediate ways are rel=?author?, title and meta tags, and Google?s new ?trusted store? program.

?

It is very easy to control how your website is presented to searchers. So do it! Go the extra mile and pimp out your listing. It?ll pay off in the long run, BIG TIME.

?

SOCIAL!

?

Last but certainly not least, remember ? we?re in the social era! Social media is the bread and butter of business. The most successful businesses are those which properly integrate social media into their marketing campaigns.

?

So whenever you publish an article, whenever you make an update? make sure it?s sharable. If you?re writing a controversial article, make sure people can easily tweet about it! Take the initiative and share it on Reddit.

?

Getting MASSIVE traffic volume is easier than ever. But you have to prepare for it!?

?

Closing Thoughts

?

So on-page SEO is alive and well. But it?s a bit different than before. Instead of viewing it through the lens of ?old SEO??that is, a focus on keywords and ?SEO content??it?s viewed through a lens of ?New SEO?.

?

How much value can we give to the customer? Can we provide EXACTLY what the searcher is looking for? If so, we?re in great shape moving forward.
