The Rolli of GenoaEdit
The Rolli di Genova - or, more precisely, the Rolli degli alloggiamenti pubblici di Genova (Italian for "Lists of the public lodgings of Genoa") were the official lists at the time of Republic of Genoa of the private palaces and mansions, belonging to the most distinguished Genoese families, which - if chosen through a public lottery - were obliged to host on behalf of the Government the most notable visitors during their State visit to the Republic. Later, these palaces hosted many famous visitors to Genoa during their Grand Tour, a cultural itinerary around Italy
The ground where the palace is located was purchased in an auction in 1551 by Constantino Gentile, who later sold it for double the price to the brothers Giambattista and Andrea Spinola, who commissioned the construction of the palace in 1563. In 1566, Andrea passed his share of ownership to his brother Giambattista and the construction continued at a high pace, so that in 1567 the construction was almost completed.
Up to recently, Giovan Battista Castello was believed to be the main architect. In 1968, however, Bernardino Cantone was documented as chief architect and building master of the palace. Today its construction is primarily attributed to Cantone, while the fireplace on the piano nobile and the courtyard remain attributed to Castello. The piano nobile features the fresco Legate of Obertus Spinola to Frederik I Barbarossa by Andrea Semino and frescoes by Luca Cambiasi.
Palazzo Doria was the only palace in Strada Nuova to be seriously damaged by the French naval bombing in 1684, which required a serious renovation, completed by architect Gio. Antonio Ricca with the adding of a story and the redesign of the façade. However, the 17th-century restoration did not alter the original sequence of atrium, courtyard and garden planned by Castello.
The palace was purchased by Gio. Batta Spinola, then it passed to the Doria family in 1723. The Dorias did not see the need for a refurbishing of the palace, beyond routine repairs and the addition of a notable lantern in the atrium with the coat of arms of the Doria family.

TOKYO (May 6, 2011)—The massive earthquake that struck the northeast coast of Japan's main island March 11 apparently did not affect production at the nation's four tire makers enough to disrupt measurably supplies to dealers in North America.
Of Japan's four tire makers, Toyo Tire & Rubber Co. Ltd. appears to be the one most affected by the March 11 earthquake and subsequent tsunami, with its Sendai, Japan, plant off-line completely for more than a week and able to ramp up gradually to only 70 percent of capacity by mid-April.
Toyo Tire Holdings Americas Inc. declined to comment directly on the impact of the production interruption on supplies to dealers in North America, deferring all questions to official statements from the parent company.
The most recent statement, from April 12, said: “The plan for the future is to step up the rate of operations in stages while responding flexibly to supply and logistical issues, so that by May, operations may resume at full capacity.”
Japan's other tire makers—Bridgestone Corp., Yokohama Rubber Co. Ltd., and Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd.—are reporting their factories that initially were forced to shut have since returned to normal or near normal operations.
Each reports the production interruptions from the quake had little or no effect on their abilities to supply customers in North America with tires.
None of the Japanese tire makers reported any casualties among their employees.

Roman: Vampire’s Mate Book One
By Grae Bryan
Vampire’s Mate, Book 1
Danny Kingman is used to fending for himself. Working nonstop as an ER nurse to pay for his mother’s care, he’s been putting his own life on hold since he can remember. But when an unbelievably hot, strangely intense man saves him from a mugging, Danny has a feeling everything is about to change. Especially when that man suddenly pops out a pair of fangs.
Roman Mourier has been wandering aimlessly for decades, waiting for the inevitable day when the last of his humanity leaves him, and the demon inside him takes permanent control. He doesn’t believe in fated mates, or the myth that there’s a soul out there that could tether his humanity to him. Until he feels a strange pull to the lovely young man at the hospital, and hope stirs in him for the first time.
But Roman has demons other than just the one inside him. Is he strong enough to keep Danny safe from the past that haunts him? He knows one thing for sure: now that he’s found his mate, he will do anything to keep him.
Roman is a heated, fated-mates MM paranormal romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger. It contains insta-obsession, a cinnamon roll of an ER nurse, and the possessive vampire determined to keep him. It also contains explicit, steamy scenes between two men, and the moderate violence (and mentions of blood) that one might expect from a vampire romance. Not suitable for readers under 18.

Roman let out an exasperated chuckle. “You should not be moving closer, lovely. You should be running in the other direction.”
Danny sighed, doing the exact opposite and pressing his face into Roman’s chest. He smelled so fucking good. “I know that logically. But I can’t help it. That pull you talk about…I feel it too. Like I want to trust you. Like I feel safe with you. And—and you did save me, you know.”
Roman sighed. Danny seemed to have that effect on him. “I told you: do not let that fool you into thinking I am a good man. A good man would leave you now. Give you space to process. Or better yet, leave completely. Let you live your human life. A good man would want to do the selfless thing.”
Danny felt a small tug of hope in chest at the direction this seemed to be going. “But you…don’t want to do that? Leave completely?”
“No.” It was more a growl than a word.
Then Roman was turning them both, rolling Danny underneath him, pressing their bodies together chest to chest, groin to groin. “What I want to do, lovely boy,” he crooned, running his nose along the length of Danny’s chin, “is put my hands all over you. Mark your body with my teeth. Find out what sounds I can coax out of you with my hands. My tongue. My cock.”
Danny found it suddenly very hard to breathe and not just from the weight of Roman pressing him into the mattress. He knew somewhere inside him that Roman was right. That the smart option was to take some space and process this entirely unreal situation.
But there was no part of Danny that wanted to be smart right now. He wanted all the things Roman had just said.
He wanted Roman.“Yes. Yes, that,” he said, unable to keep the eagerness out of his voice. “Option B.”

TIC Gums, White Marsh, Md., has launched Ticaloid Tortilla, a stabilizer made from a combination of water-binding hydrocolloids and designed to add consistency and shelf life to tortillas.
"Ticaloid Tortilla is able to improve flexibility, strength and moisture control in the finished tortilla," said Dan Grazaitis, food technologist for TIC Gums. "It also has excellent control in ice crystal formation for frozen tortilla applications."
He added the moisture control aspect has been shown to benefit food service operators who heat tortillas in steam trays or tables.
Ticaloid Tortilla may improve better-for-you tortillas, according to TIC Gums.
"The biggest shift in the tortilla market has been toward healthy, whole grain and multigrain tortillas," Mr. Grazaitis said. "This tortilla-specific stabilizer from TIC Gums adds flexibility and strength needed in these new products."

This is a guide for how I made my stove. It is not the only way.
I am not a professional metalworker but a guy with some tools and a workshop .The final outcome was very successful and I have received many positive comments about it.
The flat top gets hot enough to cook on and/or boil a kettle and the output it approximately 4-5kw when it's fully up to temperature. Perfect for heating a small room. I've only ever used it when camping outdoors or in my yard but the plan is to use it when winter camping in a bell tent.
I am making this Instructable to show people how easy it is.
Almost everything was fabricated from the sheet steel for this (apart from the flue pipe which I bought in especially) and the whole process took me about 10 hours in total spread over a few evenings.
Tools and Equipment needed:
I used a sheet of 4mm mild steel 1200mm x 625mm that I had lying around so based my design on that but what ever you have access to. I guess you could use thinner but my stove holds its heat really nicely and doesn't deform with heat so I wouldn't want to make it any thinner.
I got quite good with an angle grinder doing this project and its a brilliant tool if used carefully.
A good quality jigsaw is a great purchase as it needs a bit of grunt to cut through the steel - and always good quality blades, even if your machine is cheap, spend the money on good blades. Cheap blades are a false economy. I have a Bosch GST 150 230v jigsaw and only ever buy bosch blades.
So I designed my stove on Google SketchUp. I love this software and it is amazingly easy to use, even for a novice. Everybody should have it and best of all, its free!
To start with I drew the whole stove then calculated how big I could make it.
I already had a sheet of 4mm mild steel that was 1200mm x 625mm so I made it as big as I could out of that.
My plan was to make the front, sides and back like a 'net' of a cube and 'fold' them in to create nice smooth corners, rather than weld the plates together and have to spend hours grinding away to get a good finish.
I would then seam weld the top on and fit a baffle inside to improve the burn (see 4th image) and then fit a bottom with bolts so it is removable for cleaning
For the legs I originally planned on using some more sheet steel and making some little angled legs that could bolt on but I ran out of steel and also had an old school-type chair lying around so decided to cut that up and use the steel legs from that.


Osvaldo Pugliese was born on December 2nd 1905 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He started out learning violin, but switched to piano and learnt at the local conservatories. The young Pugliese got his first job as a professional pianist when he was 15.
Pugliese played with several known musicians and he also had several ensembles before forming his orchestra, which was formed as a cooperative both in the economic and artistic sense of the word. Like many other orchestra leaders, Osvaldo Pugliese played the piano in his own orchestra throughout his career. Unlike other pianist orchestra leaders like Biagi and Di Sarli, Osvaldo Pugliese has a quite discreet playing style. As was common for the tango orchestras of the era, Pugliese's orchestra played music by many different composers. But Pugliese also composed music, like the well-known instrumentals "Recuerdo" and "La yumba".
Like most of the other tango orchestras we know from the Golden Age period, Pugliese's orchestra both played at dances and made recordings.
Later, they would also perform at concerts. This beloved orchestra is known for its high-quality, complex arrangements.
Osvaldo Pugliese died on 25 July 1995, making him the only one of the big Golden Age tango orchestra leaders who would live to see the revival of the Argentine tango.
TANGO NOTES focuses on the music we use for dancing today. This means that the below charts and
discography includes the genres tango, vals, and milonga recorded after 1927.
There are some live recordings from late in Pugliese's career. These are not included in the discography (for now).
Pugliese recorded a handful of songs from other genres as well.
Here's an overview of Pugliese's recordings, sorted by year and genre.

The singers in the traditional tango orchestras weren't considered to be big stars, like singers are today.
They were just another musician - and most tango orchestras employed different singers. Later, the singer would gradually
get a more prominent role in the orchestras.

Since it's Halloween next week I thought I'd share my love of abandoned places. They're always quite dark and creepy, have an air of eeriness and make the mind wander. That's no doubt the reason a lot of horror film/shows take place in derelict hospitals and buildings - they're bloody scary.
I don't know why or how I became fascinated by deserted structures but I have a feeling they connected with the writer in me. Looking at images of places that were built for a reason, that used to thrive, and now are left neglected and broken always inspire me. I mull over hundreds of questions; who used to live there? Why did they leave? Did something tragic happen? Is it haunted? How long has it been abandoned? And so many more. The decayed ruins can be interpreted so many different ways and although they're destroyed, there's beauty in the tragedy. There's something about them that are aesthetically pleasing; maybe it's the mystery and the unexpected, I don't know, but I'm certainly a fan.
When I look through these type of images the main thing that goes through my mind is - 'I wish I could photograph them myself.' As much as I'd love to and how strong the urge is, I'm more than sure I wouldn't be able to find an abandoned building that is wheelchair accessible. Trust me, I'm not complaining, there's nothing practical about broken down buildings, and I'm not ridiculous enough to think something derelict would be easy to access. For now I'll get my kicks from the safety and practicality of my living room.
I wish the following images were ones I'd taken. Maybe one day I'll own a hovercraft and visit all the creepy, freaky places myself!
These dark images tap into my curious side; I can't help but create spooky backstories and invent bizarre characters that roamed the halls. If you're a fiction writer and ever get writers block, I highly suggest you look at some photographs (especially of abandoned places) and it should definitely inspire you.

In April, the NFL Players Association filed a non-injury grievance against the NFL claiming that teams have conspired to violate the Collective Bargaining Agreement requirements on dispensing prescription painkillers to players.
The NFL disclosed the document Monday in a legal filing in response to a lawsuit filed by former Chicago defensive end Richard Dent, who claims teams handed out painkillers to players without disclosing the health risks involved. He had filed an earlier claim that was dismissed in federal court in 2014 by a federal judge who said the CBA was the forum to resolve his claim. The case is currently in a federal appeals court.
Part of paperwork is a grievance filed by the players association legal department and one of the addendums under the title “Admissions By Club Medical Personnel” included an e-mail by Minnesota Vikings head trainer Eric Sugarman – one communication of five listed in the attachment (Atlanta, Minnesota, Buffalo, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh).
The e-mail included read as follows in the legal filing:
In an e-mail dated January 7, 2008 to various team doctors and personnel, Minnesota Vikings head trainer Eric Sugarman stated “Here is week 17’s fiasco .......... The following items did not match up this week. 1. Total of 16 Ambien given out was recorded – however only 11 Ambien were missing from the kit. 2. Total of 21 Toradol shots were recorded – however only 20 Toradol shots were missing from the kit. 3. Total of 1 Diphenhydramine shots were missing with no record of dispensing. There have been several times where the drug sheet and restock sheet didn’t match but it was easily reconciled that day. There have been two incidences of drugs that have not been accounted for at all. 1. 12/17/07 – Missing all 12 pills of cyclobenzaprine. 2. 12/23/07 – Missing all 10 pills of SMZ/TMP 800 -160 mg. In the case of the SMZ/TMP the whole bottle itself was missing from the kit.”
The case claims that the NFL violated Article 39 of the CBA, dealing with rights afforded players under medical care and treatment provisions. Included in the legal brief is the lawsuit filed by the widow of former Viking Chuck Evans, who died of heart failure at age 41 in 2008. He played with the Vikings from 1993-98 and the Ravens in 1999-2000.
The lawsuit isn’t the first such case that has been brought against the NFL for the long-term effects of playing professional football and it likely won’t be the last.
The Vikings may have logical explanations for their issues accounting for some missing drugs, but, in the realm of justice, excuses don’t count as much as what can be factually proved. In part, the Vikings e-mail that was sent in January 2008 is being used as part of a bigger-picture framework for the litigation that will become more and more high profile in the coming years with cases setting precedents for the future.

We’ve been wondering what might happen with the iconic space that until recently held Noma. That restaurant, considered to be among the world’s best, closed in February and will reopen elsewhere in Copenhagen later this year. We just got our answer.
Noma announced on its website this morning that Danish chef Thorsten Schmidt is partnering with René Redzepi, Noma’s chef-owner, to open a new restaurant called Barrin the former Noma location. Barr is expected to open on July 5, less than a month from now.
Much more low-key (and, presumably, much cheaper) than its predecessor, Barr will serve à la carte dishes drawing from the traditional cuisines of the countries that encircle the North Sea, including the regions of Scandinavia, Benelux, and the British Isles. Offerings will include hot-smoked salmon with cucumber salad and butter-fried frikadeller (pork meatballs), a classic Danish dish.
“At Barr, we will serve familiar foods in the best way we can, building on the last decade’s gastronomic development in Copenhagen,” writes Schmidt in a statement on Noma’s website. “We want to carry on the spirit of experimentation and knowledge, serving our versions of traditional dishes, along with a great selection of beers and aquavit from this extraordinary area.”
Oh yes, the beers. It’s looking as though Barr will be emphasizing brews, bringing in both a brewmaster and a beer sommelier. We’re told by the bar manager that all of Barr’s cocktails will incorporate beer.
On that note, we’re off to go book flights to CPH…


|St. Jude won a CE mark for its larger Portico transcatheter aortic heart valve.--Courtesy of St. Jude|
St. Jude Medical ($STJ) won a long-awaited CE mark for a larger size of its Portico transcathether aortic heart valve implant, a milestone that expands its overseas market reach and ups competitive pressures on rivals Edwards Lifesciences ($EW), Medtronic ($MDT) and Boston Scientific ($BSX).
The Minnesota device company said the new approval covers the 25-mm iteration of its Portico TAVR device, which is made of bovine pericardial tissue attached to a self-expanding stent frame. It's slated for patients who have a severe narrowing of the aortic heart valve that obstructs blood flow and for whom conventional open-heart valve replacement surgery is too risky.
Portico gained a CE mark for its 23-mm size in November 2012, though neither size has U.S. approval yet. St. Jude plans to add two more valve sizes to Portico in 2014, the company said.
Portico is connected to a patient's annulus--a ring-shaped supporting structure in the heart--and those can vary in size, so more Portico sizes means a much larger potential patient base. Also, more Portico sizes means the competition is heating up in Europe against global market leader Edwards and its Sapien valves, and Medtronic's CoreValve and Engager devices, though CoreValve is at the center of an ongoing patent fight with Edwards. Boston Scientific, meanwhile, won a CE mark for its Lotus valve implant in October.
St. Jude disclosed promising early international data in October from a test of Portico 23-mm and 25-mm valves on 83 patients with severe aortic stenosis who were at high risk for conventional valve replacement surgery. Results pointed to major benefits for most of the patients after a month, including an improvement in heart failure symptoms.
Portico is implanted through a catheter, via a small incision in the leg's femoral artery and is positioned while a patient's heart keeps beating. The technique is designed to avoid the need for a cardiopulmonary bypass machine.

Responding to demands from middle and upper-middle classes for a family doctor who knows his patients and their medical history intimately, these new ventures are creating chains of neighbourhood clinics that offer the intimacy of personal care alongside the benefits of digitised patient records and online referrals to specialists when needed.
“I was sick and tired of going to hospitals, needless tests and procedures,” says TRanganathan, a former professor at IITBombay, who moved to Bangalore with his family seven years ago. His quest for a local physician ended this year when he found Modern Family Doctor, a startup that has set up a chain of clinics in India’s technology capital.
“A good family doctor is affordable, knows your medical history and does not scare you by prescribing needless tests,” says the 79-year-old, who now works as a management consultant.
In the past year, nearly half-a-dozen such startups have come up across Indian cities aiming to re-establish a bond between patients and a physician.
Modern Family Doctor, founded by former Cafe Coffee Day CEO Naresh Malhotra, operates 13 clinics in Bangalore and was born out of a personal need. Malhotra found that his aged mother needed to visit a hospital for every little ailment and even a casual blood pressure test.
Execution is Key for These Clinics
Malhotra's chain of local clinics under a single umbrella is modelled on the way retail outlets are rolled out, a business format he is well versed with. In the next three years, Modern Family Doctor aims to have 300 clinics across Pune, Chennai and Delhi.
"Execution is key for these consumer-facing businesses. A lot depends on the business model, scalability and a team that can execute," says Ash Lilani, president of Silicon Valley Bank India, which invested Rs 10 crore in Modern Family Doctor after Malhotra pitched the idea to him on a flight.
This year, the healthcare and life sciences sector has received the most funds from risk capital investors, with $817 million invested in 29 deals, according to data research firm Venture Intelligence.
Other marquee funds such as Catamaran, set up by Infosys co-founder NR Narayana Murthy, are also joining the action. Catamaran, along with Reliance Venture Asset Management and US-based BlueCross BlueShield Venture Partners, invested 20.5 crore in Mumbai-based Wellspring Healthcare founded by the father-son team of Gautam and Kaushik Sen. The senior Sen, Gautam, is a general surgeon and oncologist while his son used to work at consulting firm Bain & Co in Delhi and Boston.
Also in Bangalore, doctors-turned-entrepreneurs Santanu Chattopadhyay and Shantanu Rahman have set up a chain of 14 clinics through their venture NationWide Primary Healthcare Services. This chain of family physicians and paediatric clinics expects to have a nationwide network of 250 clinics. Chattopadhyay, who worked at the London Medical School, teamed up with Rahman, who had a stint with the UK's National Health Services, to set up the venture. Experts such as Devi Prasad Shetty, cardiac surgeon and founder of Narayana Hrudayalaya, say reviving the concept of a family doctor is an excellent trend.
Practo's platform manages 10,000 appointments a day with 8,000 local doctors who run neighbourhood clinics. Last month, Sequoia Capital invested 25 crore in Practo. "You can discover a good food joint or order pizza online, but cannot schedule an appointment with a local doctor," says Shashank ND, the chief executive of Practo.

Max5 Racing Croft 28/04/12 - Phil Grayston Car 25 - MK1 1.6 MX5 - Class win
Max5 Racing Croft 28/04/12
Phil Grayston in his first race driving to a class win.
After a bad start Phil quickly got past Alan in the red MK3 car 42 @ 01:23
and settled into a quick pace.
However Rob Chilcot in the Blue MK1 car 84 was hot on his heels and put
Phil under a lot of pressure for much of the race. Phil did a cracking job
of holding him off. It cannot be seen from the camera but it was some
fantastic, close yet clean racing from both of them. Phil misses a gear on
the pit straight and Rob takes a lunge into Clervaux and gets past @ 16:37
Now its Phils turn to put Rob under some pressure. And pressure he does,
taking the inside line down to the complex and forcing Rob into a mistake @
17:42 Rob spins and Phil retakes the lead with a lap to go and cruises to
the finish. Great racing from both of them, well done chaps!
Phil went on to take the win on Sunday as well, Unfortunately it was too
wet to put the camera in the car. Shame as it was a cracking race. Very
An excellent weekends racing was had by all, many thanks to:

During 4Q15, $COL's earnings increased $11MM or 6% & EPS increased $0.11 or 9% from continuing operations compared to the same period last year. The rate of increase in earnings per share from continuing operations was more than the rate of increase in income from continuing operations due to favorable impacts of share repurchase program.
Any idea why some investors are happy about the disastrous $UA results??
Wow! GM killed it with earnings today! Did not expect this after $F gave the feeling it will eclipse the Chevy maker completely!
Oil rebound starting to show up in energy stocks. $XOM $CVX

Greasy and thin but good
david.d123/19/21, 7:55 p.m.
Crust and baking was great! Ingredients almost all we’re trying too hard and ended up standing out and not in a good way. Would eat again but not drive out of the way.
jim.elgin2/2/20, 12:07 a.m.
Not a bad pie. However much better to be found. To salty and the crust under the ingredients is quite rubbery. The only reason it gets over a 5 is the outer crust
dorsnation11/8/18, 9:12 p.m.
Had the Homey Badger pizza today. Thin crust, chz is fluffy and flavor is great! A MUST TRY!

No I haven’t seen Solo yet. Biggles went to see it without me and slagged it off and I’m trying to avoid anyone else’s opinion before I see it. I guess I’ll get around to seeing it sometime next week. I’ve been busy with work, including a week in Norway and a day in that London. The weather in Norway was amazingly good. Blue skies and hot sun all week:
Not the sort of weather you want to be walking around in a work shirt and black trousers, but it was good to eat al fresco in the evenings. London was foggy and then muggy, commuters were more annoyed than usual because all the train times had changed, and the trip was otherwise unremarkable.
Great post so far, eh? Anyway moving on… I’m currently reading the messy third section of The Fifth Head of Cerberus by Gene Wolfe. It’s supposed to be a science fiction classic but I think it’s a bit of a narrative shambles truth be told. My copy is labelled with the Sci Fi Masterworks branding and has a spoiler-ridden introduction by Adam Roberts. It made me fall asleep on the train back from London and I can’t wait to finish it and get on with something more interesting.
Hmmm… okay, so reading’s not rocking my boat at the moment. So let’s talk about television. I enjoyed Peter Kay’s Car Share Unscripted and Peter Kay’s Car Share Finale both missed in real time but watched on BBC iPlayer. I found the unscripted episode rather more fun than the finale, but at least there was some kind of ending to the romantic angle of the mostly car-bound comedy.
On Netflix, I finally finished the pretty rubbish second season of Sense8 and moved on to the very interesting and atmospheric Mindhunter sometimes directed by one of my favourite directors David Fincher (who has ”previous’ with serial killers in the form of Se7en and Zodiac). It’s the story of two FBI agents developing the field of behavioural science in the 19070s by investigating the psychology of murder through interviewing convicted violent criminals, and not for the faint hearted.
I also watched a couple of Tom Hanks films – Spielberg directed cold-war based on a true story drama Bridge of Spies and the lighter A Hologram for the King (both on Netflix). The latter is, like The Circle, based on a Dave Eggers book (but I’ve not read it). The cold-war drama was the better of the two films – atmospheric, tense and Kafkesque at times. A Hologram for the King reminded me a lot of Lost in Translation and not in a good way – I’m sure the book is probably better, but I won’t be reading it to find out, sorry Dave.
Also on Netflix, I watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny which was in eye-watering 4K High Def. Donnie Yen from Rogue One stars alongside Michelle Yeoh reprising her role from the original film. It’s an entertaining but rather formulaic martial arts film – a story of revenge, love and digital wire removal and not as good as the original. Donnie Yen’s skills eclipse all the other cast members and there’s rather too much CG for my liking.
On Spotify I’ve almost caught up with the Athletico Mince podcast. It’s a messy collection of vaguely football related stories, musical spots and nuggets of comedy gold from Bob Mortimer and Andy Dawson – highly recommended to anyone who likes podcasts and laughing out loud. Adam Buxton is on a bit of a break on his podcast, so I might go back to Richard Herring’s podcast once I’m up to date with the Mincers.
I’ve also really enjoyed listening to two of my favourite singers collaborate on the single ‘Ocean‘ – Alison Goldfrapp and Dave Gahan – their voices work well together and I thought the original final track off Goldfrapp’s excellent Silver Eye album was ‘very Depeche’ so it makes sense to get Dave on the track. It will be featured on the deluxe edition of Silver Eye which will be released next week.

HanoiAt 12 o’clock at night, Hoang Anh circled the flower garden in Tay Ho district, glanced at the three people sitting around a fire and decided to drive in.
Two boys in warm clothes sat next to the middle-aged man. Looking at them like a father, but noticing that the child seemed tired, the two people in the car walked over to say hello. “Can we sit here and talk a little bit?”, Hoang Anh slowly said. The eyes looked up with a look of investigation.
Sitting down next to the fire, Hoang Anh looked into the eyes of the two children, said: “This cold night, do you guys need any help?”. Two kids one skinny, one fat silent. The middle-aged man answered with his dog walking around here, then stood up and left.
Hoang Anh began to make friends with two children. “We belong to the Green Dragon Foundation, specializing in helping street children,” the young man looked at the two children, before continuing, “I can also help them with accommodation, soccer, and health checks. Late night. Out in the unsafe street, there are a lot of bad objects.
At this time, Hoang Anh began to talk more carefully about his current work. He told the situation that some children had met, warned of dangers lurking on the street; at the same time show some pictures of the street children being supported. In the picture there are people you two know. The similarities and ways of talking make the two boys remove the “guarding fence”, gradually opening their hearts. The thin boy said that a few days ago, he slept in the flower garden and lost his papers. Now he can’t go to work, but he still doesn’t want to go back to his hometown. 14 years old fat boy, from Bac Kan, his father went to prison.
“I can help you find a safe place to sleep tonight, or if I don’t like I’ll bring you back here,” he said. The wandering children, especially long-term lives on the street, always have a high “survival instinct” so the two boys immediately refused. Hoang Anh gave each of them some money to find a place to sleep. He discussed the contact, he will see you tomorrow morning.
It was a night of work for Hoang Anh, 27, the captain of the Street Outreach team of Blue Dragon – an organization established in 2003 to support street children in Hanoi.
For many years now, the Street Outreach team has been out in the streets every night looking for children in need, in some “hot spots” such as under bridges, parks, flower gardens and bus stations … The team has 7 official members and many collaborators. In addition to the main task of finding children, the division also divided each other to work at boarding houses, to visit families being organized to help, bring the children back to their hometowns, allow them to participate in physical activities, checkups. health … with the aim of bringing street children out of the drag of crime, protecting them from the risk of becoming victims of social evils.
On the night of meeting two boys in the flower garden along West Lake, Hoang Anh and Son went to the 4 game shops in My Dinh area to look for children and ask the owner to announce each time the child showed signs of needing assistance. Here they met a boy from the province leaving home and helping him with a warm coat.
“Around the My Dinh area, especially during the summer and near Tet, children often come back from the provinces. They are easy to become prey for the group of pedophiles and job brokers. have little money in person and will go to the game shop. We always try to reach out to the children before encountering bad objects “, Hoang Anh said.
At 0 o’clock, they were looking at the side of Truc Bach Lake when they met a child named Trinh. The boy shared last night seeing two young people wandering recently.
Three years as a member of Street Outreach, the Union finds itself doing a “valuable” job. Cong remembers the last time around 0 o’clock a night in August, he and his partner Minh Hai saw two children sitting at the bus stop near My Dinh bus station. Ten meters away there was a middle-aged man walking around the car.
The children looked tired, limbs stained, determined that this was a new child to Hanoi, Cong stopped the car from afar, walked over to get acquainted. After a while talking, two boys aged 15 and 17 said that their hometown of Ha Giang had been working for half a month in Hanoi when the shop was closed because of Covid-19. Both use 400,000 VND of wages to roam to find new jobs, but have no place to hire. Three days out of money, they went to the bus station. The two children jerked their faces towards the man, whispering: “He just solicited us to touch his genitals and he would give each of us 100,000 dong. We refused, he was still insisting and waiting for them. I change my mind “.
Cong and Hai immediately put the two of them to sleep in an Internet shop and bought food for them. The next morning, Cong returned, reassured to know that the two children would be picked up by relatives. He gave the children some extra money to carry along the road, and brought in contact with the organization in case they needed help.
Many times, team members have faced with bad guys to protect children. Two months ago, Hoang Anh broke into two men who were asking three boys to go home to sleep.
Minh Hai, who works as a child finder for 2 years, cannot forget a winter night last year. That day on the side of the road behind the My Dinh bus station, there was a boy wearing a backpack, a cap on a bottle, his feet with no force like walking indefinitely. Hai immediately slowed down, before getting out of the car and led him beside the boy. “You look tired. Have you had dinner?”, Hai asked. The boy hesitated forever. On the one hand it wants to eat, on the other hand it is scared, constantly looking first, looking back.
Walked for about 2 kilometers, the boy was less alert. He received a box of sticky rice from Hai and ate it all. After eating, more confident, it just said that more than a month ago, she was lured into a black credit gang. Running from that ice, he is now very afraid of revenge. It also doesn’t know where to go, where to go, and who to ask for help.
On average, each year the street child search group helps about 100 street children in Hanoi. Many of these children have returned to their families or have been helped to return to school. Many successful children in the field of restaurants – hotels, tourism … 10% of Blue Dragon’s employees were children who were supported by organizations. After escaping the difficult life, they return to help the kids.
“I see my work as a filter. When they meet us, they have the ability to rebuild their lives. When they do not meet, they are easily caught up in evils”, Hoang Anh shared.
Recently, two boys from Ha Giang came to call to notify Cong that they had returned home to work in the fields with their parents and waited until they were old enough to go to work. As for Hoang Anh, after the night of January 12, he helped the 14-year-old boy find a safe haven.
Inside the sleeping city there are always children being pushed into the streets for so many reasons, surrounded by many traps. That is why for the past 17 years the Outreach team has been out on the streets at night.
After 17 years of operation, Blue Dragon has helped 607 street children reunite with their families, rescued 1,000 trafficked people, 5,259 children went to school or vocational training, and helped 13,514 children and families with proper papers. France. Blue Dragon has been recognized by the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Public Security and many state agencies for its contribution to the prevention of human trafficking and helping street children.

Between 1998 and 2016, the economies of the North East, the West Midlands and Yorkshire and the Humber grew by around 30%. The same period saw an economic growth of 71% in London.
In 2020, the Institute for Fiscal Studies highlighted the “daunting task” of reversing the UK’s entrenched regional inequalities, complicated further by the impacts of Brexit and COVID-19.
In his first speech as the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson reiterated his plans to unleash the “productive power not just of London and the South East, but every corner of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland”.
Johnson’s Levelling Up Agenda, a core component of the Conservative Party’s manifesto in the 2019 General Election, sets out to address the UK’s economic imbalances by boosting prosperity beyond the capital and South East of England.
How bad is the North South divide?
It has long been recognised that the UK exhibits a ‘North South Divide’. This refers to a perceived trajectory separating the ‘wealthier’ regions of London, the South East, and the West from the rest of the UK.
From 2009 to 2019, the Institute for Public Policy Research found that London had received approximately £739 per capita in transport spending, compared to £305 per capita in Northern regions.
On average, households in the South also enjoy higher disposable incomes than those in the North. According to the Office of National Statistics, in 2018 London’s gross disposable household income lay at £29 362, compared to £16,995 in the North East.
According to the Institute for Fiscal Studies, property values in London have increased over six-fold since the mid-1990s, whereas those in the North East have seen little more than three-fold increases.
From 2010, the Conservative-led coalition government renewed a focus on boosting innovation in what it termed as the ‘left-behind’ North. This was articulated in the ‘Northern Powerhouse’ initiative, which aimed to establish a globally competitive area in the North, while redistributing wealth from London.
The Northern Powerhouse aimed to promote economic growth in core cities through improvements to infrastructure, education, science, and innovation.
National imbalance takes root in economic inequalities, which have knock-on implications for education, healthcare, employment, and broader standards of living.
The UK2070 Commission – an independent inquiry into the UK’s city and regional inequalities – produced a report highlighting the extent of UK’s North South divide. The report found that a child qualifying for free school meals in Hackney, London, is three times more likely to attend university than a child growing up in Hartlepool under similar economic circumstances.
It is likewise predicted that pupils in the South of England are 40% more likely to achieve top GCSE grades than those in the North of England, who at the same time, are vastly underrepresented at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
In 2015, a study part-funded by Public Health England predicted significantly lower-than-average life expectancies in the North and the Midlands.
Nonetheless, the rigid premise of a North South Divide conceals pockets of poverty in southern regions. As a result of this blanket division, many of the South’s coastal towns and some rural areas have fallen further down the list of government priorities. While the North is home to a majority of deprived areas, regions in South Wales and Cornwall remain among the poorest in the UK.
So, how is the government levelling up?
In 2020,the Conservative government announced a £4.8 billion levelling-up fund to support communities with regeneration projects to be delivered by 2024. An additional £800 million was to be distributed throughout Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Through the fund the government has backed projects in Aberdeen, Bury, Burnley, Lewes, Clwyd South, Stoke-on-Trent, Ashton under Lyne, Doncaster, South Leicester, Sunderland and West Leeds
These funds were established in conjunction with a Shared Prosperity Fund, set out to replace the EU’s Regional Development Fund following the UK’s departure from the EU. The Government pledged that the Shared Prosperity Fund would be used to “reduce inequalities between communities” by targeting places most in need. The fund is set to support ex-industrial areas, deprived towns, and rural or coastal towns by investing in the people, communities and local businesses.
In addition to direct investment, the government is advancing plans to relocate key business hubs and Governmental bodies to regions further North. Steps have already been taken to dilute the London-centric civil service through the development of a Newcastle Campus.
In a similar vein, the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government has been tipped to move to Wolverhampton, the Department for Digital, Culture Media & Sport to Manchester or Leeds. In the 2021 budget it was announced that a large part of and HM Treasury (with 750 jobs) was to move to Darlington.
These moves are hoped to generate a higher number of jobs outside London, thereby boosting local spending and innovation. As testament to this, the BBC’s recent move to Manchester was said to have brought 4,500 jobs into the local area, only 2,000 of which came from the BBC itself.
The government’s current freeports policy is also presented as being part of an attempt to regenerate the economy of particular regions.
Criticisms of the levelling up agenda
The government’s levelling up agenda been criticised for adopting a largely ‘place-oriented’ approach which neglects the people there within. The consultancy company Frontier Economics stresses that effective regional policy is ‘people-orientated’, and aims to enhance the employment and salary prospects of those living in particular areas.
There are also questions around the extent to which relocating government jobs to Northern cities will boost sustainable growth in those areas. Such a move may exacerbate the socio-economic conditions in cities whose local population is unable to reap the benefits. New employment opportunities will only be beneficial to those whose skillsets fulfil the job criteria. If local residents are unqualified for the newly created jobs, an influx of workers will assume these positions and, in doing so, worsen employment rates for local, lesser skilled residents. Further to this, it is often the case that highly skilled workers commute from suburban areas, thus spending very little money or time in the target city. It has been tendered that a more effective approach may be to increase educational funding and training grants awarded to local residents.
Former deputy Prime Minister Lord Heseltine has argued that addressing the issue of regional inequality requires greater local control, saying, “There should be no presumption that civil servants in London devising schemes which seem sensible to ministers should be imposed on local economies.”
A similar stance was voiced by Sara Longlands, director of IPPR North, who disputed that a levelling-up fund should be controlled by Westminster. Rather than transferring jobs, Longlands holds that local leaders face the task of gentrifying their areas, ultimately making them more attractive places to live and work. This would involve a complete reorganisation of government, which reduces centralisation and grants greater authority on a regional level.
Other critics have suggested that for meaningful regional redistributive effects, further reforms in taxation are needed. These comments are most notably made in relation to the current Council Tax valuation structure, which is considered to substantially under tax the owners of expensive properties in places like south west London.
Finally, the government’s ‘north-south’ approach is said to overlook pockets of poverty in typically ‘well-off’ regions in the South. The Institute for Fiscal Studies has found that regional inequalities are far too acute to be viewed on a regional basis, with many of the UK’s southern towns struggling the most. This situation was worsened by the 2020 covid 19 pandemic which had detrimental impacts on many of the South’s tourist-dependent economies.
“It is very difficult to see how you level up without levelling down somebody.” – Lord Heseltine, 2020.
“Local leadership can make a huge difference to the look and feel of town centres, and if you change the quality of life in a town, you will get people who stay to live there rather than getting on the train to big cities, and you will create more opportunities for investment in our town” – Prime Minister Boris Johnson addressing MPs, 2020.
“And then I think we need to be more courageous in giving many more powers to these local elected leaders over decisions like transport, like skills, like business support, issues like health care, which we’re seeing, for example, in Manchester, where there’s real control over the NHS, a level of devolution, that doesn’t exist anywhere else in England.” – George Osbourne, the Great Northern Conference, 2020
“Infrastructure is decades away – very easy things for politicians to promise because actually it is not going to be delivered anytime soon” ….”But they can’t say that they are doing everything to the north by simply promising infrastructure in the distant future. They have got to deal with the here and now.”- Manchester Mayor, Andy Burnham, Radio 4’s Today Programme, 2019.

Transport, which will be of particular importance for productivity growth, is a key driver of differences in spending across the country: at £653 per head, transport investment is 2.5 times higher in London than the average £260 per head in the rest of the UK.

Tell President Obama to stop the catastrophic impacts of climate change now!
Climate change is impacting our oceans. From sea level rise to ocean acidification, major impacts upon our planet will occur unless we do something.
The oceans absorb carbon dioxide. As carbon dioxide emissions increase, the oceans absorb an increasing amount of carbon dioxide. This creates a chemical reaction and is literally changing the chemistry of the ocean, making the water more acidic. Once the tipping point is reached, corals and many other shell forming creatures at the base of the food web will have a harder time forming skeletons, spelling potential disaster for the marine life.
In addition, warming seas will cause sea levels to rise, and marine ecosystems and food webs are likely to be disrupted and in some cases, depleted as a result of changing ocean circulation.
It’s time to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels by reducing our consumption, converting to clean energy such as offshore wind, and halting offshore drilling.
Tell the president to take action to combat climate change today.

AFC Bournemouth midfielder Mark Molesley is expected to leave Dean Court for League Two side Exeter City on a free transfer.
The 31 year old is a fan favourite at the Goldsands Stadium, but due to injuries his playing time has been limited in recent seasons.
Molesley joined League Two side Plymouth on a emergency one month loan deal in November and enjoyed his time playing under former Cherries captain Carl Fletcher who was manager at the Pilgrims at the time.
Before his move, Molesley had been struggling with an Achilles' tendon injury since the start of the season and hadn't featured for the Cherries at all this season.
It was the latest injury in a long line of injuries for the popular midfielder in recent years.
Between October 2009 and August 2011 Molesley made just two appearances, totalling 16 minutes towards the end of the 2010/11 season.
A persistent foot problem then kept Molesley out for around a year before an ankle injury in March 2011 delayed his return until the tail-end of that season.
At the beginning of last season Molesley was ready to return and featured for the Cherries in ten of the first eleven games of the season before a hamstring injury picked up against Leyton Orient in September sidelined him until November.
Molesley made just four further appearances for the Cherries that season and spent the last month on loan at League Two side Aldershot, where he made eight appearances (two starts) scoring once.
He made six appearances for Plymouth at the end of 2012, but returned following the sacking of Carl Fletcher.
The Daily Echo's Neil Perrett posted on Twitter on Thursday evening...
BmthEchoSport also understands #afcb's Mark Molesley will tomorrow put the finishing touches to a free transfer move to Exeter City. #ecfc

Assume a small universe of four web pages: A, B, C and D. Links from a page to itself are ignored. Multiple outbound links from one page to another page are treated as a single link. PageRank is initialized to the same value for all pages. In the original form of PageRank, the sum of PageRank over all pages was the total number of pages on the web at that time, so each page in this example would have an initial value of 1. However, later versions of PageRank, and the remainder of this section, assume a probability distribution between 0 and 1. Hence the initial value for each page in this example is 0.25.
Positioning of a webpage on Google SERPs for a keyword depends on relevance and reputation, also known as authority and popularity. PageRank is Google’s indication of its assessment of the reputation of a webpage: It is non-keyword specific. Google uses a combination of webpage and website authority to determine the overall authority of a webpage competing for a keyword. The PageRank of the HomePage of a website is the best indication Google offers for website authority.
The Google toolbar range is from 1 to 10. (They sometimes show 0, but that figure isn’t believed to be a PageRank calculation result). What Google does is divide the full range of actual PageRanks on the web into 10 parts – each part is represented by a value as shown in the toolbar. So the toolbar values only show what part of the overall range a page’s PageRank is in, and not the actual PageRank itself. The numbers in the toolbar are just labels.
Another challenge is the sheer scope and scale of digital marketing. There are so many great digital marketing techniques ranging from search, social and email marketing to improve the digital experience of your website. Our article, What is digital marketing? shows how by using our RACE planning framework you can define a more manageable number of digital marketing activities which cover the full customer journey. Within each digital marketing technique, there are lots of detailed tactics that are important to success, so they need to be evaluated and prioritized, for example from dynamic content for email automation, website personalization to programmatic, retargeting and skyscraper content for organic search.
The maximum PageRank in a site equals the number of pages in the site * 1. The maximum is increased by inbound links from other sites and decreased by outbound links to other sites. We are talking about the overall PageRank in the site and not the PageRank of any individual page. You don’t have to take my word for it. You can reach the same conclusion by using a pencil and paper and the equation.
Word of mouth communications and peer-to-peer dialogue often have a greater effect on customers, since they are not sent directly from the company and are therefore not planned. Customers are more likely to trust other customers’ experiences. Examples can be that social media users share food products and meal experiences highlighting certain brands and franchises. This was noted in a study on Instagram, where researchers observed that adolescent Instagram users' posted images of food-related experiences within their social networks, providing free advertising for the products.
For instance, if you have an article called “How To Do Keyword Research,” you can help reinforce to Google the relevance of this page for the subject/phrase “keyword research” by linking from an article reviewing a keyword research tool to your How To Do Keyword Research article. This linking strategy is part of effective siloing, which helps clarify your main website themes.
There are several sites that claim to be the first PPC model on the web, with many appearing in the mid-1990s. For example, in 1996, the first known and documented version of a PPC was included in a web directory called Planet Oasis. This was a desktop application featuring links to informational and commercial web sites, and it was developed by Ark Interface II, a division of Packard Bell NEC Computers. The initial reactions from commercial companies to Ark Interface II's "pay-per-visit" model were skeptical, however. By the end of 1997, over 400 major brands were paying between $.005 to $.25 per click plus a placement fee.

Brand awareness has been proven to work with more effectiveness in countries that are high in uncertainty avoidance, also these countries that have uncertainty avoidance; social media marketing works effectively. Yet brands must be careful not to be excessive on the use of this type of marketing, as well as solely relying on it as it may have implications that could negatively harness their image. Brands that represent themselves in an anthropomorphizing manner are more likely to succeed in situations where a brand is marketing to this demographic. "Since social media use can enhance the knowledge of the brand and thus decrease the uncertainty, it is possible that people with high uncertainty avoidance, such as the French, will particularly appreciate the high social media interaction with an anthropomorphized brand." Moreover, digital platform provides an ease to the brand and its customers to interact directly and exchange their motives virtually.
SERPs typically contain two types of content – “organic” results and paid results. Organic results are listings of web pages that appear as a result of the search engine’s algorithm (more on this shortly). Search engine optimization professionals, commonly known as SEOs, specialize in optimizing web content and websites to rank more highly in organic search results.
While most of the links to your site will be added gradually, as people discover your content through search or other ways and link to it, Google understands that you'd like to let others know about the hard work you've put into your content. Effectively promoting your new content will lead to faster discovery by those who are interested in the same subject. As with most points covered in this document, taking these recommendations to an extreme could actually harm the reputation of your site.
Columns are another cross advertising platform feature that shows pre-determined metrics. Columns can be edited on all tabs within the engine interfaces. You can add data such as assisted conversations, competitive impression share metrics, conversion data calculations, and more. Columns act as a great way to customize the interface and view for your goals and analysis needs.
Although the full scope of SEO is far too broad to cover comprehensively here, all you need to know is that SEO focuses primarily on achieving higher rankings from an organic perspective. Businesses may hire an agency or SEO professional to perform their SEO work, but beyond this investment, no money changes hands and all the emphasis is placed on ranking more highly in organic search.
Having a different description meta tag for each page helps both users and Google, especially in searches where users may bring up multiple pages on your domain (for example, searches using the site: operator). If your site has thousands or even millions of pages, hand-crafting description meta tags probably isn't feasible. In this case, you could automatically generate description meta tags based on each page's content.
Mega-sites, like http://news.bbc.co.uk have tens or hundreds of editors writing new content – i.e. new pages - all day long! Each one of those pages has rich, worthwile content of its own and a link back to its parent or the home page! That’s why the Home page Toolbar PR of these sites is 9/10 and the rest of us just get pushed lower and lower by comparison…
Testimonials. If case studies aren't a good fit for your business, having short testimonials around your website is a good alternative. For B2C brands, think of testimonials a little more loosely. If you're a clothing brand, these might take the form of photos of how other people styled a shirt or dress, pulled from a branded hashtag where people can contribute.
Outbound links are a drain on a site’s total PageRank. They leak PageRank. To counter the drain, try to ensure that the links are reciprocated. Because of the PageRank of the pages at each end of an external link, and the number of links out from those pages, reciprocal links can gain or lose PageRank. You need to take care when choosing where to exchange links.
8. Technical SEO. Technical SEO is one of the most intimidating portions of the SEO knowledge base, but it’s an essential one. Don’t let the name scare you; the most technical elements of SEO can be learned even if you don’t have any programming or website development experience. For example, you can easily learn how to update and replace your site’s robots.txt file, and with the help of an online template, you should be able to put together your sitemap efficiently.
Whether you’ve heard a little about PPC marketing and are curious to learn more, or you already know that you want to use PPC to market your business, but aren’t sure where to start, you’ve come to the right place! This is the first lesson in PPC University, a set of three guided courses that will teach you everything you need to know about PPC and how to make it work for you.
The default page of Google’s search result is a page on which different results appear. Google decides which results fit your search query best. That could be ‘normal’ results, but also news results, shopping results or images. If you’re searching for information, a knowledge graph could turn up. When you’re searching to buy something online, you’ll probably get lots of shopping results on the default result page.
Google started search engine advertising in December 1999. It was not until October 2000 that the AdWords system was introduced, allowing advertisers to create text ads for placement on the Google search engine. However, PPC was only introduced in 2002; until then, advertisements were charged at cost-per-thousand impressions or Cost per mille (CPM). Overture has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Google, saying the rival search service overstepped its bounds with its ad-placement tools.
In March 2006, KinderStart filed a lawsuit against Google over search engine rankings. KinderStart's website was removed from Google's index prior to the lawsuit and the amount of traffic to the site dropped by 70%. On March 16, 2007 the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (San Jose Division) dismissed KinderStart's complaint without leave to amend, and partially granted Google's motion for Rule 11 sanctions against KinderStart's attorney, requiring him to pay part of Google's legal expenses.
“Brick Marketing is extremely valuable for feedback and advice in many aspects of marketing, not just SEO and I look forward to continuing to work with them over the long term to continually improve our business and increase sales. That’s what it’s all about. Just like their name implies, Brick Marketing is rock solid and essential in building a strong marketing foundation.”
6. Measurement and analysis. You won’t get far in SEO unless you know how to measure your results, interpret those results, and use your analysis to make meaningful changes to your approach. The best tool for the job is still Google Analytics, especially if you’re new to the game. Spend some time experimenting with different metrics and reports, and read up on Analytics knowledge base articles. There’s a deep world to dive into.
“I didn’t realize how much we were missing from not having an online presence until I started working with the SEO firm Brick Marketing. The Brick Marketing team took the time to guide us through the SEO process and helped bring our company into the online world. We’ve seen unbelievable success with our new website & owe much of our online lead generation to Brick Marketing’s efforts.”
There’s no way to speed up the process. To encourage your PageRank to grow, keep making quality content that others will want to link to. You may also consider participating regularly in social media communities to get the word out about the new content you are creating. (Social media participation itself won’t help your PageRank but it will help other humans know your content exists, which can help inspire an increase in natural inbound linking.)
“When we came to Brick Marketing initially, we had a small subset of challenges we didn’t have the bandwidth to tackle in house. Our idea was simply to send out the work and be done with it. A one-shot deal. What we found mid way into the first project, was that Nick Stamoulis and Brick Marketing had a depth of understanding and approach to solving our Search Engine Marketing problems that we had not considered; solutions that dramatically improved our search engine ranking position on terms and improved the overall size of our index listing (by more than 25% in the first two months). In short order we expanded our horizons and enlisted his talents to take on refining and improving ROI on our rather expensive Pay Per Click campaigns, as well as having him consult on microsite projects and blogs. Nick Stamoulis of Brick Marketing helped us understand what works and why, and helping us maintain our dominant position in the SERPs, despite the markets constant resetting and ever-changing drama. I could not have gotten through this year without Brick Marketing’s assistance and advice. I couldn’t give a stronger recommendation; they are simply great!”
138. Direct Traffic: It’s confirmed that Google uses data from Google Chrome to determine how many people visit site (and how often). Sites with lots of direct traffic are likely higher quality sites vs. sites that get very little direct traffic. In fact, the SEMRush study I just cited found a significant correlation between direct traffic and Google rankings.
While ordinary users were not that interested in pages' scores, SEOs of a different caliber felt that this was a great opportunity to make a difference for their customers. This obsession of SEOs with PageRank made everyone feel that this ranking signal is more or less the only important one. In spite of the fact that pages with a lower PR score can beat those with a higher score! What did we receive then, as a result?
If you have the Google toolbar installed in your browser, you will be used to seeing each page’s PageRank as you browse the web. But all isn’t always as it seems. Many pages that Google displays the PageRank for haven’t been indexed in Google and certainly don’t have any PageRank in their own right. What is happening is that one or more pages on the site have been indexed and a PageRank has been calculated. The PageRank figure for the site’s pages that haven’t been indexed is allocated on the fly – just for your toolbar. The PageRank itself doesn’t exist.
The results are of two general types, organic search and paid search (i.e., retrieved by the search engine's algorithm) and sponsored (i.e., advertisements). The results are normally ranked by relevance to the query. Each result displayed on the SERP normally includes a title, a link that points to the actual page on the Web and a short description showing where the keywords have matched content within the page for organic results. For sponsored results, the advertiser chooses what to display.
The PageRank algorithm outputs a probability distribution used to represent the likelihood that a person randomly clicking on links will arrive at any particular page. PageRank can be calculated for collections of documents of any size. It is assumed in several research papers that the distribution is evenly divided among all documents in the collection at the beginning of the computational process. The PageRank computations require several passes, called “iterations”, through the collection to adjust approximate PageRank values to more closely reflect the theoretical true value. Cartoon illustrating the basic principle of PageRank. The size of each face is proportional to the total size of the other faces which are pointing to it.[/caption]
The marketing automation coordinator helps choose and manage the software that allows the whole marketing team to understand their customers' behavior and measure the growth of their business. Because many of the marketing operations described above might be executed separately from one another, it's important for there to be someone who can group these digital activities into individual campaigns and track each campaign's performance.
To cease opportunity, the firm should summarize their current customers' personas and purchase journey from this they are able to deduce their digital marketing capability. This means they need to form a clear picture of where they are currently and how many resources they can allocate for their digital marketing strategy i.e. labour, time etc. By summarizing the purchase journey, they can also recognise gaps and growth for future marketing opportunities that will either meet objectives or propose new objectives and increase profit.
Relative to other marketing mediums, pay-per-click marketing is still in its infancy with a very long, promising future. As you establish your own history with online marketing and expand your knowledgebase, remind yourself to be like Tony Montana (only the positive, inspirational qualities… ignore the rest). Be hungry, scrappy, and aggressive and work harder and smarter than your competitors. As Tony said “The World is Yours!”
