What Is A Domain? A domain is a website address like britster.co.uk or even google.com. It’s what distinguishes your website from others just as your home address does from your next door neighbour’s, but you get to choose it. Your domain can reflect what your website or blog is about, be a vanity domain as mine is, be the name of your company, or a brand that you are building like Google or Yahoo.
Choosing Your Domain If you are niche marketing then it is better for search engine optimisation if your domain reflects what your website is about, for instance like my toptoysite.co.uk blog. A large amount of the search terms used by visitors to find the blog are ‘top toys’. By picking the domain toptoysite.co.uk and using ‘top toys’ in the title I helped to make it easier for the blog to be found in the search engines. I could have done the same by using a different domain and adding ‘top toys’ as a category or an article but it wouldn’t have been so easy to get the site ranking for those particular search terms.

It’s February and Saint Valentine’s day and the big love in is growing closer. February 14th is the dedicated day in Great Britain and many other countries world wide where love is celebrated. Couples of all ages send each other cards and buy each other gifts to show how much they care for each other. There are also many others who declare their love secretly with cards or gifts. Valentine’s day originated in Western Europe as a Christian feast in honour of 1 or more early saint called Valentinus. It isn’t a public holiday anywhere, but it is recognised as an important cultural and commercial celebration in many regions.

As far as I am concerned policemen are human and can make mistakes, but they are employed to enforce laws and protect others from harm, they are not above the law. So in my book the officers in question should be thoroughly investigated, tried in court and punishments handed out when found guilty. That is how the law works in most countries and is a fair system that should be allowed to run it’s course. What I don’t understand is the riots, where the protesters think that it’s right to damage innocent people’s property and cause harm to others who did nothing to deserve this treatment. The rioters are not giving the legal system a chance and are indeed breaking the law themselves.

I wrote this true story 20 years ago, I hope you enjoy reading it. Shower of Fear I was luxuriating in the sensuous feeling of water cascading over my body when it happened. It was Boxing night and I was thinking about the evening ahead working at the local pub. I really didn’t feel like working that night after an hectic Christmas Eve and Christmas day lunchtime behind the bar. What I would rather do was curl up in front of the fire with a bottle of wine, a box of chocolates and a good novel. No television to disturb my quiet pleasure, at least not until later on.

A young male work colleague was poorly with a cold (man flu?) a few days ago. He didn’t carry on working throughout his shift like the rest of us do when ill. He went upstairs to sit in the office with his feet on the desk and playing with his mobile for at least 4 hours out of his 8 hour shift. His actions (or lack of) angered the rest of the staff and lost any sympathy that we might have had for him not feeling well. It’s no wonder we women joke about man flu!

Beautiful Zambia is a landlocked country in South Africa where you can enjoy a very rugged landscape and diverse variety of wildlife. The capital of Zambia is Lusaka and the official language spoken is English. Although relatively peaceful for Africa there is still an underlying threat of terrorism in Zambia 60,000 British tourists visit there every year. It’s wise to take precautions like not driving outside the towns after dark and it’s a must to take out travel insurance before you go.

Approaching her mid thirties, Lydia was terrified of looking and growing older. Then in the summer of 1991 I read in a national newspaper about a new book that had been released that could help you to look younger. Lydia’s birthday was the following week so I thought perfect and trotted off to WH Smiths and bought Eva Fraser’s Facial Workout for £3.99. When I got home I was curious yet dubious about the content, especially as at the top of the front cover it states ‘Look fifteen years younger’. I read it through and it made more sense than the promises on the labels of expensive lotions and potions, so I kept that copy for myself and bought another for Lydia. At the time I was training regularly at a gym and had learned that exercising the muscles in my body was helping to tone my skin up and diminish the dreaded cellulite. This book takes exercise one-step further and teaches you how to use the muscles in your face to tone your skin up.

Botswana is one of the most stable countries in Africa and has a population of just over 2,000,000.The capital of Botswana is Gaborone and the official languages are Twsana and English, making it easier for English speaking tourists to understand and be understood when they are on Package holidays in Botswana. It is a comparatively small landlocked South African country with the amazing landscape of the Kalahari Desert and the Okavango Delta. The Okavango Delta turns into a lush animal habitat during the seasonal floods. The huge Central Kalahari Game Reserve, with its fossilised river valleys and grasslands, offers a home to many wild animals including giraffes, lions, hippos, cheetahs, hyenas and wild dogs.

Although a country in it’s own right, Wales is also part of the United Kingdom or Great Britain. Originally a Celtic nation, Wales or Cymru is a bilingual country with both Welsh and English spoken. The largest city and capital of Wales is Cardiff which at one point was the worlds largest coal port. Flanked on 3 sides by the sea, Wales has over 750 miles of beautiful coastline. The Welsh landscape is very diverse, from the beautiful heritage coastline to the impressive Snowdonia mountains and lakes.

Nature offers a moderate climate, which is really convenient for fishermen living among the ocean. Thousands of limestone islets jutting out from the sea make a nature border preventing winter strong wind and summer storms. The emerald seawater is ideal for aquiculture. The sea face is even more tranquil than Sword lake in Hanoi. Nestling beside Halong rocky islets, many fishing houses gather into the 4 villages living and working among this UNESCO wonder. Among the 4 villages, Cua Van or Van Gia is the largest one, and also the oldest village of Halong bay. Now it’s the home to 176 households and 733 people, most of them live on fishing career. The boat is also their home, the school, the committee hall for all villagers. Cua Van is the farest living zone from the inland with the distance of 30km from Bai Chay tourist wharf. Although the deprivation, villagers are always happy with wind, sea and sunshine and smiles. Mostly quiet, calm sea, fishing boat anchors, nets, let the sentence, catching fish are their inspiration. The establishment of the famous cultural center Cua Van has a great significance both economically and spiritually for residents. It is a model cultural center for the first floating fishing communities of Vietnam, not only to conserve, preserve cultural values through the fishing village activities as well as traditional works between local communities and tourists but also a place to create jobs for locals.

It seems like forever since we voted to leave the European Union but at last we seem to be making some real Brexit progress. Today Theresa May laid out her 12 point Brexit plan and I for one am happy with it. Of course the serial remoaners Tim Fallon (who thinks that we aren’t being democratic yet wants to remain in the undemocratic cess pool of the EU), Nicola Sturgeon and Anna Soubry and their pals aren’t too happy but blow them. The UK has shown since the referendum last June that we can not only survive but prosper outside the EU, not that the remoaners seem to have noticed that. This country has defied the scaremongering tactics from Europhiles and proven them all wrong. We should now be able to pull together and make the Great in Great Britain strong again but the remoaners are still complaining and making threats to derail Brexit in the courts or otherwise.

Activities Around The Gwydyr Forest The Gwydyr Forest, set in the Snowdonia National Park, is home to some of the most celebrated scenery of forestry, lakes and mountains. Its enchanting community Betws-Y-Coed is in fact the outdoors capital of North Wales. Here you can walk, climb, cycle and even face adventure courses, high among the trees. One of the area’s most famous biking routes is the Marin Trail. Don’t be fooled by its attraction though, this 25km long track is famous for its tough climbs but exhilarating descents. With a red trail grade, it’s not a route for the faint hearted but a thrilling experience for experienced mountain bikers. Though it’s a long track you can always cut it short, but you certainly don’t want to miss out on the breathtaking views the whole journey offers, over mountains, trees and lakes. With smooth open paths to rough and rocky single tracks, some areas of the route can be more rewarding to different riders but time and time again the final descent is said to have riders grinning from ear to ear.

Party Favours, Party bubbles As far back as 400 years ago soap bubbles have been used in play. You can see that if you check out 17th century Flemish paintings that show kids using clay pipes to blow bubbles. A painting of a child enjoying playing with bubbles by John Everett Millais was used by the London Pears soaps company in an advertising campaign in 1886. You can get your own copy if you click on the picture on the left. In the 1940s Chemtoy, a company based in Chicago started to manufacture and sell a bubble solution which has been extremely popular with kids ever since. An industry estimate is that around 200 million bottles are sold each and every year. I can remember blowing bubbles back when I was a youngster nearly 60 years ago. My mum used to top up the bubbles tubs with Fairy liquid and water to prolong my fun. Then when my daughter was around one I can remember sitting on the doorstep outside with her blowing bubbles together. She used to get so excited as the pretty coloured bubbles emerged.

The National Health Service I was reading today about the massive problems within the British National Health Service. According to the Red Cross NHS overcrowding is a humanitarian crisis after it’s worst week in 15 years sees A & Es shut their doors. The NHS is supposed to be the envy of the world but when you read about bed shortages and people dying because they have waited too long for ambulances, or for treatment then there is cause for serious concern. The UK’s free health service was launched in 1948 and has been since then the source of great national pride. I’ve been treated by NHS doctors and had stays in hospital 4 times over the years and can say from experience that the doctors, nurses and non medical staff do a marvellous job under difficult circumstances. Shortage of Trained Medical Staff The problem for a number of years has been a lack of funding and a shortage of training places for doctors and nurses. Because of the shortage of home trained medical staff we have been hiring doctors and nurses from abroad, some of who don’t speak very good English. That puts patients health and even lives at risk and we should ensure that all of our medical staff speak and understand good English apart from having a high standard of training.

The city of Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, the third largest in the UK and a great place to start your Scotland tours. Glasgow offers something for everyone from fun at the Glasgow Comedy festival to the sophisticated at Kings theatre Glasgow. Luckily for Glasgow most of the main attractions are located around the subway circuit. There is always something to see within easy reach of the city centre. Because the city has many hidden secrets around every corner, not all of them are as obvious on the top of a tour bus and are best seen on foot.
