    PASSENGER PIGEON
    September 1, 1914 - American, U.S.A.

    The Passenger Pigeon (Ectopistes migratorius) became extinct as the last surviving bird of the colorful native American species of dove died at the Cincinnati Zoo. The passenger pigeon was hunted to extinction; the fact that it traveled and nested in large flocks made it easy to slaughter. The adult male passenger pigeon had grey upper parts, the tips of the wings and the tail were black; its throat was a dark rust, while its breast was a lighter rust; its eyes were red. The adult female was of a duller color, with brownish upper parts and a lighter, brownish throat and breast; its eyes were black.

    SOURCES OF ALL ENERGY
    September 1, 1881 - York, Sir, England

    In a Presidential Address to the British Association, at York, Sir William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) spoke On the Sources of Energy in Nature Available to Man for the Production of Mechanical Effect. He summarized the natural sources of energy as Tides, Food, Fuel, Wind, and Rain. All except the tides derive energy from the sun. “Heat radiated from the sun ... is the principal source of mechanical effect available to man.” He referred to tide mills, and the possibility of storing energy in batteries between tides, but nevertheless considered the economics impractical for wide application. Windpower he considered “decadent,” but acknowledged coal would become an exhausted resource, thus windmills should generate electrical power. Kelvin also outlined the economics of hydroelectricity.

  • A Change is Gonna Come
    by Meredith Grey

    "...Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."
  • Until a man duplicates a blade of grass
    by Earth Day, Thomas Alva Edison Inventor

    "...Until a man duplicates a blade of grass, Nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge. Remedies from chemicals will never stand in favorable comparison with the products of Nature, the living cell of a plant, the final result of the rays of the sun, the mother of all life...."

Getting the desired traffic is very important when putting up a site online. After all, it would be worthless to put up a site with all sorts of attractions, if no one will even visit for a peek. Thus, many online sites have invested greatly on ways to get traffic flowing.

One of methods that is often employed in traffic generation is link building. To the layman, link building is basically the creation of links in various websites that would then lead back to your sites. This means that you will be able to get traffic coming to you even if users don't directly go to your site. As in any other SEO techniques, link building is not a simple task.

In fact it can rather pretty complex. However, there are some useful strategies that you can do to make link building not only easier, but also more effective.First up you need to know your target market. Be familiar with their interests and also know where they are most commonly found online. This will help you in determining how you will put up branch your links to reach your target. In order to get more information about the target for link building purposes, you need to interact with them by engaging in online conversation.

This will augment what you have gathered from outside sources.Once you have all your information, then it's time to put up your links. Your goal here is to reach a wide share of your target, while at the same time, be able to snag at least a bit of those from the outside. Social networking sites are indispensable when it comes to link building. Here you can put up an article, place comments or simply do anything that will get your links noticed.

However, you need to be sure that your contents actually do have something to say and not just contain gibberish for the sake of linking. This way, you will genuinely get the attention of your audience enough that they actually click on your links, and thus, generate the traffic you want.A good strategy to use when link building is to let other people distribute your links for you. This will even work better if you pair it with good content as people will automatically put up your links on their own pages if they like it, even without you asking them.

Thus be sure to provide your viewers with the exact information, such as your site's complete address, so that they can post it up. Better yet, you can also give them the code for the link so that they can just past it to their HTML code and it will automatically show up on their pages.However, while you are out posting links, you will also receive requests from others to put up links of their own on your site. The best thing here is to allow as many as you can. It is not only a sign of goodwill, but linking out is also a good way to get traffic. People going on to the other sites will more likely to come across you more when you serve as a route to get there.
