CARPHA says AstraZeneca vaccine in Caribbean Different from Batch in Europe

What does CARPHA mean by saying it's not the same version?
Are they now saying that AstraZeneca have different versions of their vaccine?
How is the version being used in the Caribbean different from the one being halted in Europe and other parts of the world?
Why were the people of the Caribbean not told that the vaccine to be used in the Caribbean would be a different version from the one being used in Europe?
More questions than answers.
Update from the Caribbean Public Health Agency on COVID-19 Vaccines and Variants

The Caribbean Public Health Agency is aware that some countries in the European Union have suspended their AstraZeneca vaccination campaign, as a result of reports of rare blood coagulation disorders in people who had received the vaccine. This was done as a precautionary measure while a full investigation is conducted into the reports. At present, it cannot be determined whether there is a link between the vaccine and the disorders.
Adverse reactions that happen following immunisation with any vaccine need to be fully investigated to rule out various factors, for example concomitant illnesses, progression of a disease, and batch assessment, before a final decision is made by the health authorities.
It must be noted that the vaccine being used in the Caribbean is not the same version or batch as the one in Europe.

RE You're not toooooo bright, are you.
I KNOW THAT I AM NOT TOO BRIGHT SATAN, THE SLANDERER, BUT LIKE JOHN I WON THE PRESTIGIOUS BARBADOS SCHOLARSHIP, ONCE ADVISED GOVERNMENT ON PUBLIC HEALTH MATTERS AND OUR NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE, AND HAD THE PRIVILEGE TO TEACH MNY MEDICAL STUDENTS FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE
NOT BAD FOR ONE WHO IS NOT TOO BRIGHT EH?
RE Where have we said he was a catholic.
READ WHAT YOU SAID AGAIN THAT IMPLIED THAT PATRICK WAS A CATHOLIC.
IN THE FAITHFUL BAPTIST WITNESS PATRICK IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN BAPTIST….THAT MAKES MORE SENSE. HE DID NOT GO KILLING ANYONE AS YOU ERRONEOUSLY SPEWED
YOU ARE A NASTY STINKING LIAR JUST LIKE YOUR DADDY
AND YOU BASICALLY KNOW NOITHING ABOUT THE THINGS YOU ESPOUSE THAT YOU KNOW. YOU ARE ESSENTIALLY A COUNTERFEIT JUST LIKE SATAN YOUR DADDY- THE FATHER OF LIES.
@Disgusting Lies & Propaganda TVMarch 17, 2021 2:07 AM
Dear DLP Antigene,
Thank you for your comprehensive clarification! The EU member states are only suspending vaccination with AZ in order to punish AZ for its supply problems. That is obvious. Pfizer-BionTech and Moderna also have anomalies without anyone getting upset about it.
Our government would do well to stay the course. In this context, I would like to thank our fabulous Prime Minister and Supreme Leader, General Bosstic and all the hard-working frontline workers in the health sector. You really are a great team. The world is talking about our great vaccination success. What a wonderful advertisement for our island.
Who takes orders from the Pope?

If Saint Patrick was not "Catholic" what was he then in the 5th Century?
Was he then an Anglican who killed off the imaginary snakes aka devils in Ireland?
Since you are so 'hippy' steeped in "Church History" where does it say that he Saint Patrick was a "Latin speaking in tongues Puritanical spiritual "Baptist" bible-thumping Christian fundamentalist shouting from the KVJ like some time traveller?
Next minute you would be confirming that Saint Francis of Assisi was also a Southern cotton-picking redneck Baptist priest who was the founder of the KKK and you, Doc. GP, is his reincarnation of the Christ called Assisi in the 'gay' body of Steven Lee Anderson.
Why don't you lot of Christian fundamentalist just dump the science about vaccinations and take up your KJVs and pray all day on Sundays for the disappearance of the Covid-19 and its family from the face of the planet so we simple Christianized humans can celebrate Passover for the next 2,000 solar years?
When I go fishing for muskie and one of those big fish opens it's big mouth and attacks the lure we all yell…. fish on… Lol Fish on
Yes Cruseo the rrolex was a cheap knock off just like the aastra-zzeneca from china might not be a good buy either as I was alluding to ,careful what your buying
Like that time I went to a seafood place on the island ,and saw 8 oz lubester for 3 bucks ordered it thinking it was a misprint on menu. When it came it was 1/2 pound of some oil by-product in the shape of a cuban rock lobster. You get what you pay for.

WHY SHOULD I DO THAT THOU UNBELIEVING SON OF SATAN?
WHY SHOULD I FLY IN THE FACE OF GOD?
JESUS PROMISED THAT THERE WILL BE PLAGUES AS WE APPROACH THE ESCHATON IN HIS BIRTHPANG SIGNS IN THE OLIVET DISCOURSE
JESUS SAID THAT SUCH PLAGUES WILL OCCUR IN INCREASING INTENSITY AND FREQUENCY
AS WE WOULD SAY IN BARBADOS IT SEEMS LIKE THAT HE AINT LIE
UM HAPPNING JUST LIKE SAID
SO HE HAS SAID…….SO LET IT BE DONE, JUST AS IT IS BEING DONE
I MY QUESTION TO YOU IS WHY ARE YOU NOT MOCKING AT THE FULLFILLMENT OF JESUS' PREDICTION/
March 17, 2021	12:43 PM
RE If Saint Patrick was not "Catholic" what was he then in the 5th Century?
IN YOUR OBVIOUS IGNORANCE, YOU ARE SEEKING TO ASSERT THAT In the 5th Century THAT ONE HAD TO HAVE CATHOLIC.
IN YOUR OBVIOUS IGNORANCE, YOU SEEM NOT TO KNOW THAT THE CHURCH EXISTED FOR THREE CENTURIES, BEFORE YOUR DADDY SATAN PROSTITUTED THE CHURCH BECAUSE HE COULD NOT DEFEAT IT AS JESUS PREDICTED BY ANY WAY, INCLUDING INTENSE PERSECUTION
IN YOUR OBVIOUS IGNORANCE, YOU SEEM NOT TO KNOW THAT THE CHURCH CONTINUED TO EXIST AS THE LOOLARDS, THE PETROBUSSIANS THE WLDENSES AND OTHER GROUPS BEFORE BEING CALLED ANABAPTISTS , BECAUSE THEIR MEMBERS WERE REBAPTIZED BY IMMERSION AS TAUGHT IN THE NT.
ALL OF THIS IS WELL DOCUMENTED "IN THE FAITHFUL BAPTIST WITNESS AND THE TRAIL OF BLOOD, AND FOX'S BOOK OF MARTYRS
WHEN YOU DONT REALLY KNOW YOU ASK QUESTIONS POLITELY, AND YOU MIGHT GET ANSWERS FROM THOSE WHO REALLY KNOW
And in your ignorance none of the actors in your tale of woe ever existed. Not the devil, not jesus, none. And you cannot prove any of these claims.
Who is ignorant now!
RE Who is ignorant now!
YOU ARE STILL SATAN
WHY DO YOU DENY YOUR EXISTENCE AS A SON OF BELIAL, AND THE EXISTENCE OF YOUR DADDY, WHOM JESUS CORRECTLY REFFERRED TO IN JOHN 8:44 AS A LIAR AND MURDERER, FROM THE BEGINNING?
RE Here's what health experts say
IS NOT DR FALSE-Y A HEATH EXPERT TOO? LOL
HE EXPERTLY SCREWED UP HIV/AIDS IN THE USA JUST LIKE HE DID WITH COVID.
HEALTH EXPERTS DONT FLIP FLOP AS HE HAS AND AS HE HAS DONE.
THIS IS A LETTER I WROTE TO A CHRISTIAN LAWYER THIS WEEK IN RESPONSE TO A QUESTION HE ASKED ABOUT COVID
You asked me on Sunday night what I thought about COVID.
When the virus first appeared on the scene, as a philologus, I immediately thought of
1- the "birth pang signs" presented by Jesus in the Olivet Discourse in Mathew 24:4-8, which are predicted to appear with increasing frequency and intensity, and
2- the passage about plagues in Revelation 6, which occurs of course at the onset of the Tribulation.
The fact that another plague and pandemic is present serves to remind us that the word of God is indeed true as we believe it to be, as believers therein. We realize that this one is the most significant of the three in the last ten years, and we perceive that both the frequency and intensity has indeed increased just as the Lord predicted. This therefore gives us more reason to believe that the plagues in Revelation 6, will occur at the onset of the Tribulation, some time soon after the Rapture of the church.
When it SOON became obvious that this pandemic was affecting commerce universally, I thought of the account in Revelation 18, about how God will bring commerce to an abrupt end one day in the eschaton.
Obviously, we are not yet FULLY in the eschaton, and there is some commerce being realized. However, the present reality of some abrupt disruption of commerce ought to be food for thought, because it does show that God can indeed affect commerce abruptly universally.
Now we know from our perusal of the historical books of the Bible, that God often acts in judgement, as He has done in the past, even though not necessarily in the exact manner. And so whereas God will probably not use a virus to effect his purpose as detailed in Revelation 18, the fact that he has done it now, ought to be a warning to all men, that he can indeed act as predicted in Revelation 18.
We will no doubt look on then, and recount the universal fear and general mayhem that the virus is causing today, and realize that at that time, this is truly it!
Our knowledge and belief in just these three prophetic scriptures should engender in all believers a spirit of joy and expectation, rather than the intense fear that has captured the world, fueled by both pathetic, puny politicians and pressmen. Of course we do have a feeling of sadness for those who just refuse to repent and believe the gospel of Christ.
That is my theological approach to COVID. Now the medical and scientific.
Soon after we heard of the presence of the virus, we learned that in parts of Asia and Europe that doctors there sought to confront this new malady with the antimalarial, hydroxychloroquinone, and were achieving some success once the patients presented promptly.
The reason for this was due to the fact that it has been documented in the renowned Harrison's Textbook of Internal Medicine that this heterocyclic compound has a mechanism of action that disrupts the replication of the virus. Apparently this large molecule intercalates between the nucleotides in the RNA of the virus, and disrupts the process of transcription, and thus translation of the RNA of the virus is thereby inhibited.
It would seem also that the lone pairs of electrons in the oxygen and nitrogen molecules of this compound would also act as scavengers of free radicals, and thereby act also as an anti oxidant and thereby affect the pathophysiology in the course of this illness.
Whereas, wise physicians all over the world, including many in the USA embraced hydroxychloroquinone as a readily available weapon of choice, and embarked on its use to foil the new virus, the highly paid and definite diabolical and demonic Dr False-y, disrupted this ploy by ridiculously requiring a clinical trial of a drug with a well known desirable high therapeutic index, and safety record for over 70 years, so as to appease the press and certain people of a political persuasion similar to his.
Now we are exhibiting vaccines, whose efficacy and therapeutic index is largely unknown in what is essentially, a clinical trial.
I recall that as a medical student delving through Pharmacology circa 1975, that it was then proclaimed that the benzodiazepines (Valium and its relatives) should superceed the barbiturates in its several indications, because the benzodiazepines are not drugs of addiction. Over time, this axiom has proven to be quite erroneous.
I recall too that in 1978, when I was yet a medical student, that Smith Kline French declared that the H2 antagonist "tidiness" (like Cimetidine -Tagament) would put gastric surgeons out of business. Not only has this not happened, but a flurry of agents designed to counteract the effect of excess hydrogen ions in the stomach, have since appeared, with imperfect records of success.
In 1992, one of my contemporaries at U W I medical school lamented openly that Proscar would put him out of business. iT DEFINITELY HAS NOT
So quo vadis with the current vaccines for COVID?
Question is are vaccines really a cure?
John 3:15 et secq, suggests that are Lord thought not.
With that I rest my case, your honour.

There have long been all kinds of fairy tales about cataclysmic events on earth. Indeed, we are currently facing a sixth extension series of events. Meaning we've had five already on earth.
And legions of floods and fires, other calamities, are not new. Certainly, they have gained an increased prominence within popular imagination since your White forebears came out of the hell, hillsides and cave of Europe.

In that Baptismal rites case, both Jews (like Jesus) and Christians are all "Baptists".
You can be circuitously evasive and divinely comical as you like in your trip to the pit of ignorance in Dante's inferno.
But you still haven't answered the burning question as to how a 5th century Romano-British Baptist 'breast-sucking' homosexual preacher man became the Pope-approved Roman Catholic venerated icon and the patron saint of Ireland, one of the most fundamentalist Roman Catholic in the world.
Isn't that god-like veneration of a former pagan akin to putting Satan to hold the two 'blackened' keys to the gates to heaven instead of Saint Peter holding the two of silver and gold; with one for Bar-Jesus the Covid-killing sorcerer and the other for the thief on the cross with the name Bar-Abbas delivering the vaccine from the gods to humanity while holding the rod of Hermes?

"Canada cannabis imports, Canada hasn't imported any commercial medical cannabis, new data shows
A Jacana cannabis farm in Jamaica. (Photo courtesy of Jacana)
Canada has imported a relatively small amount of cannabis since late 2018, and none for sale commercially, according to data provided to Marijuana Business Daily by the country's federal health department.
The data offers additional ammunition to critics who charge Canada has in effect imposed a ban on commercial imports of medical cannabis.
Roughly 20 kilograms (44 pounds) of dried cannabis were brought into Canada between October 2018 and Aug. 14, 2020, according to the previously unpublished Health Canada data.
The country also saw 200.35 milliliters (6.8 ounces) of cannabis oil enter the country legally, the federal health department said. A monthly breakdown is not yet available.
The quantities authorized were for scientific purposes only, a Health Canada spokeswoman confirmed, meaning none of the product was destined for sale to Canadian patients.
The trickle of noncommercial imports comes as commercial exports continue to soar.
MJBizDaily exclusively reported that exports of medical cannabis for scientific and medical use have risen dramatically in recent years.
About 5,372 liters (1,419 gallons) of Canadian-produced cannabis oil products were approved for export to at least 17 countries in 2019. A year earlier, 919 liters were approved for export.
Dried cannabis exports for medical and scientific use more than doubled to 3,740 kilograms last year.
That has rankled some countries, which say the Canadian government is insulating domestic medical cannabis producers against foreign competition by not allowing imports for medical use.
A Jamaican official previously told MJBizDaily the country will make an appeal to the Canadian government "for this unfortunate position to be reviewed."
International medical cannabis businesses also object to Canada's position.
The CEO of a multinational cannabis company said appropriately licensed companies should not be prevented from participating in Canada's medical marijuana industry – provided they're working with an appropriately licensed Canadian company on the import side.
"If there is product that passes internationally recognized standards, is cheaper for the patient and consumer, then import should certainly be looked at seriously. We need competition to deliver savings to patients," the CEO said, requesting anonymity.
But blocking imports of medical cannabis also has repercussions for Canada's largest producers, who have spent hundreds of millions of dollars in recent years building out cultivation facilities overseas.
The de facto ban on imports prevents those Canadian companies from monetizing those facilities via shipping to Canada – in effect removing the largest base of consumers from their equation.
That matters because there are very few functional, meaningful, federally regulated medical marijuana markets – and Canada happens to be the largest among them.
A lawyer specializing in international trade said Canada is probably in the wrong when it comes to international law, but the likelihood of legal action in the near term remains low.
"It's a no-brainier from a trade law point of view that what Canada is doing violates our international agreements," said Mark Warner, a lawyer in Toronto specializing in international competition, trade and investment law.
Canada is very protective of its internal corporate interests.
The banks for example, operate in a very protectionist environment.

AstraZeneca vaccine is 79% effective against symptomatic Covid-19, company says
https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/22/health/astrazeneca-vaccine-efficacy-us-based-clinical-trial/index.html
Everyone has a different story….the advice to wait and see is solid, still is.
https://www.nationnews.com/2021/03/22/poll-european-trust-astrazeneca-covid-19-vaccine-plunges/
"London – Confidence in the safety of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine has taken a big hit in Spain, Germany, France and Italy as reports of rare blood clots have been linked to it and many countries briefly stopped using it, poll data showed on Monday.
The polling firm YouGov said it had already found in late February that Europeans were more hesitant about the AstraZeneca vaccine than about those from Pfizer Inc/BioNTech and Moderna Inc, and that the clot concerns had further damaged public perceptions of the AstraZeneca shot's safety.
At least 13 European countries in the past two weeks stopped administering the AstraZeneca shot, co-developed with scientists at Oxford University, after reports of a small number of blood disorders."
AstraZeneca passes US trial
LONDON/TAIPEI – AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine performed better than expected in a major late-stage trial, potentially paving the way for its emergency authorisation in the United States and bolstering confidence in the shot after numerous setbacks in Europe.
The drugmaker said yesterday that interim data from trials in Chile, Peru and the United States found the vaccine, developed in conjunction with Oxford University, was 79 per cent effective in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 and, crucially, posed no increased risk of blood clots. It intends to request US emergency authorisation in the coming weeks.
More than a dozen European countries, including Germany and France, had halted use of the AstraZeneca vaccine earlier this month after reports linked it to blood clots in a very small number of people. They have since resumed inoculation after a regional regulator said it was safe, but an opinion poll yesterday showed Europeans remained sceptical over its safety.
Hailed as a milestone in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic when it first emerged as a vaccine contender last year, the AstraZeneca shot has since been dogged by doubts over its efficacy, dosing regimen and possible side-effects as well as supply setbacks in Europe, where the company has been at the centre of a growing conflict between Brussels and London over so-called "vaccine nationalism".
The latest data has yet to be reviewed by independent researchers, but it helps to address some of the concerns, analysts said.
"It is clear this vaccine has very good efficacy – remember that 60 per cent was, prior to any trials being started, regarded as a good target – and that this efficacy does not show a notable decline at older ages," Stephen Evans, professor of pharmacoepidemiology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said.
Based on more than 32 000 people, the trial was larger and around 20 per cent of volunteers were aged 65 and above, compared to 5.7 per cent in an earlier British trial. Some European countries had been hesitant to use the AstraZeneca shot on older people.
"Seeing this data now I hope gives others increased confidence that this is a very effective and safe vaccine," Mene Pangalos, an AstraZeneca executive, said.
US trials of rival vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, which are being deployed in the United States, have showed efficacy rates of around 95 per cent. (Reuters)

Caswell blames Govt for deaths
Those who died from COVID-19 this year or contracted it did so because of Government's negligence.
That is the charge of Independent Senator Caswell Franklyn yesterday as he spoke on the Appropriation Bill 2021 in Parliament.
In an address that was punctuated with interruptions on points of order by Senator Jerome Walcott and Senator Lisa Cummins, Franklyn said the second wave resulted from improper policing of quarantine facilities that allowed visitors to move around the country when they should have stayed indoors.
He said if Government knew what would have happened, they would have operated differently.
Franklyn said the explosion of cases in December was not as a result of – as highly publicised – a bus crawl involving some prison officers, but the unrestricted movement of feting visitors coming into contact with some of the moonlighting officers.
He claimed that COVID-19 was in Her Majesty's Prisons Dodds prior to December 26, the date of the bus crawl.
President of the Senate Reginald Farley warned Franklyn to stick to the official date unless he had proof otherwise, while Walcott, on a point of order, said no country had been able to identify their patient 'X'.
Franklyn said he did not envy the Government the job of handling COVID-19, but said the ruling party saw the closing of the
border issue as more of public relations and how good they were. However, he said they messed up.
"Every person who died after the first of January when this spread happened, it's directly attributable to Government's negligence. When this second wave hit us, it hit us because we had it out there now in the community because the people who went to these parties with the people who . . . left quarantine . . . they spread it. They gave it to us; it is not a homegrown thing."
Authorities chided
He chided authorities for calling the names of prison officers and engaging the police to look for them.
However, Farley said it would be inaccurate to imply that the men's names were called as having COVID-19 when the call went out for them to contact their superiors.
Franklyn maintained the exercise was done to embarrass the men because one of them was at a polyclinic getting a COVID-19 test and was instructed to go home and await the results. His superior called and told him to get there for testing or else, but, said Franklyn, he warned the officer not to go because they meant him harm stemming from a lawsuit three of them have against the institution.
Franklyn said some prison officers turned up casually dressed and were not allowed to leave and ended up on 12-hour shifts, no change of clothes and without overtime pay.
He said he did not see in the Estimates money to pay the officers who
worked a whole month and weren't allowed to leave duty. Franklyn said money was being wasted at the prison paying people not for doing prison work, but other duties.
The prisoners were not getting the necessary diet, leading to scurvy that could be treated with lime juice, he added.
"That is cruel and inhumane treatment not to feed a man so that his teeth start to drop out. I don't even want to talk about the scabies," he said.
Franklyn said he found out from a prisoner what was happening in the midst of the COVID-19 outbreak and contacted the minister.
"Two burly prison officers lick the daylights out of him because I was told about the conditions in the prison and I talked about them," he said.

The fact that we can see where our crab and lobster come from and where they're landed is the sort of thing that chefs dream of. It allows for individuality and quality, and it's great to know that in the summer, half an hour before that lobster comes into the kitchen it would have been in storage in the estuary.
Crab is landed and produced in Salcombe as well. Crab has to be cooked before it's delivered, and our supplier steams it instead of boiling it, so it has a much longer shelf life and a much sweeter taste - it is exactly what Salcombe crab should taste like.
Chef Nick says: "buying local is important to me for a number of reasons. I'm a Devon boy anyway, and we have fantastic fisheries, livestock and produce in the area; it's impossible to beat. When you have local suppliers who create beautiful products, you would be remiss not to use them. People want Salcombe crab and Devon beef - it's part of the joy of being here.
Making our own sauces was one of the reasons for developing the menu again this year, to maximise the amount of homemade food we can offer. Our desserts are homemade (except the ice cream of course, which is from Salcombe Dairy), our brownies are now gluten free and our cheesecakes and Prosecco jellies are made on site.
The epitome of what we are trying to achieve is the fish curry. It uses local fish and brings in vibrant satisfying flavours as well. At the moment we are using ling, which is a meaty fish that's similar to cod, but it isn't over fished.

Leimbach ist ein Stadtteil von Heringen (Werra) im osthessischen Landkreis Hersfeld-Rotenburg.

Geographische Lage
Leimbach liegt in Osthessen nordöstlich des Hauptortes und grenzt direkt an Heringen. Durch den Ort verläuft die Landesstraße 3172.

Geschichte

Ortsgeschichte
Erstmals urkundlich erwähnt wird das Dorf im Jahre 1366 mit dem Namen Wostenleymbach. Abgeleitet wird der Ortsname vom alten Wort leimo (Lehm). In diesem Jahr verkaufte Hermann von Hornsberg seinen Besitz in "Wostenleymbach" an Hans von Heringen. 1432 kam Leymbach beim Kauf des Gerichts Heringen an die Landgrafschaft Hessen (Amt Friedewald). Die halbe Wüstung Leimbach bei Heringen war 1433 und 1476 fuldisches Lehen derer von Boyneburg. Im 16. Jahrhundert wurde die Wüstung Leimbach neu besiedelt.

Zum 31. Dezember 1971 wurde die bis dahin selbständige Gemeinde Leimbach im Zuge der Gebietsreform in Hessen auf freiwilliger Basis in die Gemeinde Heringen (Werra) eingemeindet.

Abstract: Hydrolysis of retinylpalmitate and retinylacetate was studied in rat blood, liver tissue, intestine, testes, placenta and embryonic liver. The retinylpalmitate hydrolase activity was observed only in walls of small intestine and, less distinctly, - in liver tissue of some animals. Retinylpalmitate was hydrolyzed in rat liver very slowly, that was determined apparently by the metabolic requirements of the organism. The retinylpalmitate hydrolase activity occurred in dog blood after absorption of vitamin A oil solutions. This phenomenon was probably related to an increased secretion of pancreatic enzymes into blood after the loading with oils.

Buying a Car or Truck
What Models of Van are the Best to Live In?
Written by Emily Gleeson
As the world socially isolates and distances to stop the spread of COVID-19, this might be a good time to think about alternative ways of living. For many, the "van life" has already proven to be a rewarding and cost-effective way to have freedom, along with some level of comfort. The best van to live in depends on your plans, activities, and lifestyle.
It also depends on the amount of customization you can do yourself, what your budget is, and the type of journeys you're hoping to embark on. Here are the top models of vans to live in, as of this writing.
The Sprinter is one of the most popular models for van-life conversion. Designed for transporting goods, it's a very durable, safe, and powerful van you can rely on over time. It also comes in a variety of sizes, so you can choose a wheelbase and height that works for you. Because of its popularity, replacement parts for this model are available all over the world, which is good to know if you plan on doing some serious traveling.
The Sprinter has specific gear you can purchase for DIY conversion, and company Nomadvanz can build you a brand new, customized live-in model. Buyer beware, though—fully decked out versions come in around 200 grand. DIY conversion can be done cheaper, which is usually the case regarding any model of non-customized van.
The Transit is another cargo van that can be picked up cheaply and converted to whatever you dream up. Because of the brand, parts are inexpensive and readily available, and the vehicle is fairly easy to maintain. The size is one deterrent for anyone who wants to live in it full-time, as it's smaller than other cargo models, and doesn't have a lot of headroom.
If you're planning on adding a pop-top, or spending most of your time outdoors, this may not be a deal breaker. It's also a smoother drive compared to larger vans with grip and handling similar to a car—something to consider for the person trying to cook, sleep, or... do other business in the back.
Ram Promaster (Sold in Europe as the Fiat Ducato)
The Promaster is a larger cargo van that handles like a smaller one. While very comparable to the Sprinter or Transit, it has some features that set it apart. It boasts front-wheel drive, 5'6" of headroom in 8-foot length models, or 6'5" height in the 10-footer, with other sizes available to fit your needs. It's also wide enough to fit a full-size bed which is great for couples, or someone who likes to spread out.
Its price point is another bonus, starting around $30,000 as of this writing—far less expensive than a Mercedes brand, and three grand less than the Transit, yet also with parts and servicing that will be easy to find when out on the road. It's a great van for year-long travel, and since it was based on the Ducato, it's been tried and tested by generations of van lifers, who've created many inspiring conversion ideas to boot.
The most iconic model for van life has got to be the first-generation VW Transporter. Technically a European made van, these vintage beauties are sold used across North America, and known for their California surfer vibe. They look great on Instagram, but early versions aren't made anymore, so finding parts can be difficult and sometimes quite expensive.
They also have older, non-environmentally friendly engines, which makes them a great choice to turn into an electric model to replace dated or faulty insides. The transporter is quintessentially cool, but not known for its luxury or size. Later models, like the T5 and T6 have many updated features, and are both safer and more spacious, but lack a little bit of the aesthetic caché.
Nissan NV300 (Renault Trafic, Fiat Talento, Vauxhall Vivaro)
Like its predecessor, the Primastar, the NV300 is modeled after European brands, Renault Trafic and Vauxhall Vivaro. The 2020 models have upgraded their Renault-made diesel engines to be even stronger, smoother, and more fuel-efficient. Easily converted into your dream van, it's perfect for long-term travelers and weekend warriors alike.
2020 models also showcase superb audio systems, chrome dashboard interfaces, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. When looking for ideas, be sure to include the Trafic in your search, as DIY'ers have been converting these sister-models for almost 20 years now. Inspiration, as well as blueprints, will be readily available.
Sportsmobile Classic
This heavy duty 4x4 takes a Ford cutaway body and adds some pretty sweet features like a pop-top for extra headroom. This fully customizable conversion van is exactly what you need if you want to go off-roading on different types of terrain without worrying about breaking a nail. At 20 feet long by 6.5 feet wide, this beast gives you lots of space and storage to live comfortably in, with safety features galore.
The base model comes in at around $40,000 with extras available like kitchens and beds if you can fork over more money. A DIY or custom conversion to this solid vehicle would be a great investment if you want to live in it for a long time, and take it to places unknown.
Winnebago is a name that's synonymous with the camper van lifestyle, and if you can afford it, the Solis is a beautiful, all-season, luxury home on wheels. Using the Promaster chassis, it comes with insulated plumbing, a heated bathroom, full Murphy bed, and a fiberglass pop-top that can be used as extra sleeping space or headroom. All that for just over $100,000 as of this writing. The Revel is another Winnebago beauty, and based on the Sprinter chassis, it boasts luxury interiors and a nifty solar panel system that powers the stove, fridge, lights, heaters, and TV. It's price bumps up to just over $160,000.
For about half the amount of the Revel, Canadian company Pleasure Way has brought out the 2020 "Tofino", which mimics the Solis in many ways, but with a minimalist design. Using the Promaster chassis, it also has a pop-top, a small, but sleek kitchenette, and different solar panel designs to choose from. A solid choice if you want something ready-made at around $70,000. Other unique, custom made brands to check out are Outside Van, 5Mars, and the Auto-sleeper Peugot vans.
Before you spend an enormous amount of money on conversion, or on the original investment of the vehicle, do your research and come up with a checklist of must-haves. Take a few for a test drive, and imagine yourself actually living in the van–day after day. Is headroom important? A kitchen? Full bed? Easy handling? There's a big difference between having a van that you use as a camper on weekends, and one that you can actually live in. Whatever your budget is, these models are a great place to start when considering what van is best to live in for you.

Phnom Penh Post - Q&A: Miss Fitness
Q&A: Miss Fitness
Ou Mom | Publication date 02 September 2011 | 08:00 ICT
Fri, 2 September 2011
Ou Mom
CROWNED "Miss Fitness" by the Cambodian Body Building and Fitness Federation, 26-year-old Ang Sokunthea, will travel to Bangkok next month as part of the first Cambodian team to compete in the Asian Championships and the Latchford Classic.
What''s it like being the only girl training and competing overseas with Cambodian muscle men?
It feels wonderful being the only girl. I don't feel scared at all. I know I have to be strong in order to keep going, as I am a representative of Cambodia and this is the first time the kingdom is competing in this contest.
Are you nervous about the championships?
The candidates from other countries are pretty experienced, but it really is a new one for me. The contest is going to require us to show off our bodies with sexy clothes. Even though I may not win, I still feel very pleased to be the Cambodian showpiece girl.
How are you preparing for the competition?
It's not a muscle competition, it's a fitness challenge, so I'm exercising gently to gain muscle and reduce fat. I started training with a female Swedish instructor every Saturday, and I exercise by myself on Monday and Wednesday, for an hour to an hour and a half.
How did you become associated with the federation?
You know, at first I didn't even know there was a federation. I was just a model, who recently won SA SA Magazine's Miss Sabay Sabay title. But because I love to exercise and work out at Diamond Gym, I got to know Rasmey Sokmongkol, the president of the Cambodian Body Building and Fitness Federation. He asked me to join because he saw how much I love to exercise.
Besides exercise, how do you maintain your health?
My instructor taught me all about rational sleep theory. She said I have to sleep sufficiently – between seven and eight hours – and I have to eat fresh vegetables. Personally, I think the best way to do it is not to worry so much. If you're feeling bad, then your health and beauty also suffer.
What is your history?
I was born in Samrorng Meanchey village in the province of Takeo. My father was a farmer and my mother was a housewife, but my father died in 1998 and my mother passed away in 2003. Now I only have a younger sister. But we are happy living by ourselves – we are not sad as orphans. I left school in the tenth grade when my father became seriously ill. At first I didn't go to Phnom Penh. I tried to run a small business in front of my house, but it didn't go well, so I decided to work in a garment factory in Phnom Penh with my friends.
And where are you now?
Nowdays I am a model for Rore Promotion, I have signed a year-long contract with Sa Sa Magazine, and I am also the one of three shareholders in Sapphire's, a restaurant near Riverside which opened in August.
In the future, I want to run my own business. Looking back at my past, I've had a very fruitful career, and I hope that will continue to improve. However I still regret that my education was not completed. Recently, I have started taking a part-time class in English, so I can communicate with foreigners when I have to compete abroad.
What do you have to say to the next generation of young girls?
I would like to say, and this is especially to orphans like me and my sister, do not think of yourselves are worthles. Be optimistic, strive to get a good job, don't get caught up in illegal activities, and one day you will reach your goal.

Podcast: 49ers/Eagles NFC Championship Preview →
Extra point will move to the 15-yard line with some rule changes
By Site Staff follow

Share this on Twitter Share this on Facebook Flip into Flipboard Share this on Reddit Share via SMS Share via Email
According to Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area, the NFL has passed the Competition Committee's recommendation to move the extra point attempt after a touchdown back to the 15-yard line, now making it a 33-yard attempt.
Two-point conversions will remain at the 2-yard line.
Defenses will now have an opportunity to return blocked extra points, fumbles, or interceptions for two points.
The Competition Committee has been looking for ways to change things up following a score. PATs have become a near-certainty with kickers making more than 99% of attempts.
There were three proposals on the table for the rule change. Proposal number 14 would place extra points at the 15-yard line with two-point conversions still at the 2. Failed extra points would be a dead ball. Proposal number 14A, the winning scenario, is described above. Proposal number 14B would have also move the extra point to the 15, but two-point conversions would have moved to the 1-yard line, possibly resulting in more attempts and more scoring.
Proposal number 14 was submitted by the New England Patriots with proposal number 14A by the Competition Committee and proposal number 14B by the Philadelphia Eagles.
NFL passes competition committee's recommendation of moving PAT back to 15-yard line (33-yard kick) and two-point conversion remains at 2.
— Matt Maiocco (@MaioccoCSN) May 19, 2015
Also, now the defense can return a blocked PAT, fumble or interception for two points going the other way.
What is even more interesting is what happens after a penalty.
If team lines up for 2 points and is penalized, can move back to kick for 1 point. Back to 20 after 5-yard penalty, back to 25 for holding.

George Kittle's big-time catch: The turning point for the 49ers against the Cowboys
By Rohan Chakravarthi
The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Dallas Cowboys in a close game, winning to the score of 19-12 after their defense created multiple stops at the end of the game. The game was tight for the entire 60 minutes, with a Brett Maher field goal tying the score at 9-9 with 9:06 remaining in the third quarter. For the remainder of the quarter, neither team gained much offensive momentum, but one play ultimately turned the ship for the 49ers, leading them to a touchdown that occurred to begin the 4th quarter: a Brock Purdy to George Kittle dime from an off-schedule play. Purdy had initially faked a handoff before rolling to his left, but to his dismay, both of San Francisco's top reads on the play, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel were

Do you smell that? It's playoff football. It's a time to celebrate. For a few more precious hours, every team in the tournament still has life, still has reason to hope. There are no more guaranteed games, but there's football to be played, and right now is the time to exult in it. No matter who you root for, you can imagine your team finding a way to win, a way to keep playing football, and filling your February with excitement and joy. Right now, there's nothing standing between your team and glory except the vagaries of chance and a well-fought effort this weekend, and hopefully the next. And for those of you who aren't rooting for a team that's made it this far, never fear. 7 of the 14 playoff entrants this year didn't make it into the dance last year. The

Video: Sally's story of bullying and family issues
So since the end of primary school, I started to be bullied quite a bit and that really affected my self worth
I didn't feel valued, I felt ugly, and this carried on into the start of secondary school. And there was also issues within my family.
My parent's relationship hit rock bottom and my dad is an alcoholic, and that really put a lot of strain and tension on the family.
I bottled things up. I didn't know how to vocalise these feelings, and it all got a bit too much and I didn't know how to deal with it really. And that's when I first contacted Childline. The whole time I was waiting for the counsellor, I kept thinking I'd hang up.
I was just really scared but when I first heard their voice they were really reassuring. They checked I was safe, and we just talked through a lot of things; how I was feeling. To know that I was being listened to, that was a really big stepping stone. To feel that my opinion mattered and I was worthy of asking out for help.
I think the one big thing that I've learnt, that's been so amazing about Childline, is knowing that Childline is always there, even if it's just to listen, and that will help me, through whatever I go through.
I really don't know where I would've been without Childline. I don't want to think about it, I just know that I'd be in a big pit of despair. It would have been a huge downward spiral.
Things would have got worse, and I just wouldn't have known where to turn, or who to turn to. Childline really is a lifeline.
Help us to always be there for children like Sally. If you don't know who to turn to - you can always talk to Childline.

Third return for Tiki Murder Mystery Dinner
February 15, 2012 February 15, 2012 Webmaster 0 Comments
Paul Lyman/Staff Writer
The Del-Mar Drama Program is putting on its' third annual Murder Mystery Dinner Theater show.
The Director of the show is assistant professor Carl Yowell. The murder mystery is a special fundraiser by the department and will have four shows taking place in February and March.
Professor Yowell says, "Over the years, the Drama Program has periodically produced plays as fundraisers for the program. This is one of them. It's also a different experience for the students participating onstage and backstage to have dinner service integrated into a live theater production," said Yowell.
Yowell has been involved in a number of productions during his tenure as a professor. "I am in my sixteenth year as a faculty member, so I estimate that I have been involved in over 60 productions of varying types and styles. But I'm only part of a team, the entire Drama faculty is involved in productions," said Yowell.
Any students enrolled in DMC or any Drama students who need to fulfill their curriculum are encouraged to participate, and students participating can audition as actors or join the stage crew, who build the sets and run the shows.
The other performances to be shown this semester are two UIL One-Act plays that will take place April 10, with the last UIL performance on April 21. Both of these contests will be open to the public and will involve DMC students, along with students from different schools in the Corpus Christi region.
The Drama Department will also play host to two spring showcases towards the end of the semester, on May 8 and 9. These shows will display the talents within the department consisting of make-up, costumes and special effects.
The second show will have the students display their work on projects from this past school semester.
The murder mystery shows will be held at the Center for Economic Development on Staples St., on February 24 and 25. The following two showings will be on March 2 and 3.
Doors will open at 6 p.m., with dinner at 6:30, followed by the show at 7 p.m. Tickets will go on sale soon at the Richardson Auditorium box office for $25, which includes dinner and then dessert to be served during intermission.
For more information or ticket reservations call 698-2226 or go online at www.delmar.edu/richardson/.

For 'Ruby' author, Cynthia Bond, supportive mother was the real heroine
Ramón Rentería
ElPaso
Los Angeles author Cynthia Bond struggled for more than 15 years to produce "Ruby," the debut that Oprah Winfrey blessed and put on the nation's literary radar.
"This was my dream, but there were a lot of times when I gave up on this dream," Bond said in a recent interview.
The East Texas native stopped in El Paso as part of a Texas tour that also took her to Dallas, Houston and Beaumont.
Huddled in a rear office in the Barnes & Noble at the Fountains at Farah, Bond acknowledged the much-celebrated novel might never have been published had it not been for her 75-year-old mother, Zelema Harris.
"Every time I gave up on the book, she was there to encourage me," Bond said.
Bond grew up listening to her mother — a nationally recognized academician — tell stories about her childhood home, a small, all-black East Texas town. She credits her mother for teaching her "the true music of language and storytelling."
Bond and the book have been widely praised since Winfrey chose "Ruby" as her latest Book Club 2.0 selection.
Edwidge Danticat, author of "Claire of the Sea Light," wrote a blurb describing "Ruby" as "a treasure of a book, one you won't soon forget."
"You can't help but feel that one day this book will be considered a staple of our literature, a classic," Danticat wrote. "Lush, deep, momentous, much like the people and landscape it describes, 'Ruby' enchants not just with its powerful tale of lifelong quests and unrelenting love, but also with its exquisite language."
The book's publicity materials describe main character Ruby Bell as "the kind of pretty it hurt to look at," but "an ugliness followed her."
Bond extracted the story from her own experiences, her family's history, and heartbreaking tales she heard she has heard through the years working with homeless and at-risk youth, including the devastation caused by human trafficking.
Bond likes to say the heart of the story came from her mother and Liberty Community, her mother's hometown. One of her mother's sisters was murdered by a sheriff and his deputies.
Bond suggested adjusting to literary stardom has been difficult.
"It's been surreal," she said. "I was always a struggling artist. I'll always feel like that, no matter how successful I am."
Bond lived in Las Cruces when she was in sixth grade, soon after her parents divorced.
She also credited El Paso native and novelist John Rechy of Los Angeles for harshly critiquing the novel's first draft and teaching her that "you have to allow your ego to be broken into bits like a glacier."
Bond often tells young people and readers that any dream can come true, no matter where you start.
"I think of myself as an artist and I try to create a beautiful piece of art that is a gift to my reader," she said.
Bond is working on the second installment of what is to become a three part "Ruby" series. Her original manuscript was 900 pages.
"I just want to live long to tell the stories I want to tell," she said. "I have a lot of stories that I want to tell."

Q: Checking if a directory exists with Perl I am trying to check if a directory exists in a UNIX system with Perl.
while (my @row = $sth->fetchrow_array) {
    my $id = $row[0];
    my $hash = $row[1];
    my $direction = '/home/users/' . $hash

    if(-d $direction){
        print "$direction exists";
    }

}

But I get this error:

Global symbol "$direction" requires explicit package name at
  Perl.pl line 31. syntax error at Perl.pl line 31, near
  "){" syntax error at Perl.pl line 35, near "}" Execution of
  Perl.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

Line 31 in this case is:
if(-d $direction)

Any ideas?

A: my $direction = '/home/users/' . $hash

This line is missing a semi-colon, causing a compile error.

A: If you ever get a syntax error at the start of the BLOCK (near ") {") of an if, unless, while, until, for, foreach or when statement, check if the previous statement is missing its semi-colon (;).
Similarly, if you ever get a syntax error at the semi-colon (near "<something>;") of a C-style for statement (for (...; ...; ...;) { ... }), check if the previous statement is missing its semi-colon (;).

If you mean to write
f();
if (g()) { h() }

but you write
f()
if (g()) { h() }

Perl thinks you're missing a semi-colon before the BLOCK
f()
if (g()) HERE { h() }

because the following is valid Perl:
f() if (g())

Artificial Intelligence Google SEO
Cloud Market and Artificial Intelligence Shape Search Trends
No Comments on Cloud Market and Artificial Intelligence Shape Search Trends
How the Google Cloud Market and Artificial Intelligence are Shaping Search Trends
Small businesses may be balking at what SEO means as they prepare budget plans for next year. Gain knowledge as to what happenings in the cloud market and AI are most likely to shape which marketing strategies will be successful in the coming next year.
Technology is forging new views on search marketing and powerfully has a role to shape search trends. Finding a clear path means having a fluid approach in place, knowing where to start, and by doing at least one thing really well. To succeed in competitive search in 2017, it helps to understand how artificial intelligence and technology are forging a new approach to search. Having limited funds and limited time means that a clear focus is of the essence to search success!
This article is meant to help get the mindset you need for successful search campaigns in 2017. There is no "one thing" that offers a magic bullet to success. But one thing is clear – the need to focus on new business generation coming from organic search, sales leads, and/or e-commerce revenue gained from paid search marketing. Old paths to get there must update and see how artificial intelligence and algorithms are vastly changing the world of search.
How AI Plays its Role to Shape Search Trends
To have a clear grasp of how search is changing and how the role of artificial intelligence is impacting billions of businesses, take a look at the shift from our pre-smartphone use that relied on having to text, and our current devices. Today you can be anywhere with your mobile phone and use Google Keep to gain incredibly accurate voice dictation output. Before the world of 'voice search', it was more about predictive text.
If you are seeking the Holy Grail right now for ranking better in 2017, Google may be weighting content depth as long-form content has increased in popularity. People who use search want solutions and real answers, which does not often come with thin content. Gaining an edge over your toughest competitors means knowing what it takes to meet searchers' needs. Every word of that content needs to have value and be optimized correctly.
The best of search marketing practices will continue to prove SEO's huge potential to gain new clients for the foreseeable future. A sweeping revamp of digital marketing trends and strategies are altering what needs to be done to obtain the focus of user attention and favor of search engine giants. Remain adaptable to voice search and current on the best digital marketing ethics to be a recognized leader in your industry. We can help you stay ahead of the innovative curve. The White House also acknowledges how important Artificial Intelligence is to search trends.
SEOs Influencing Factors
Allotment of a marketing budget as a percentage of revenue must increase if a business hopes to accelerate business' growth. From monetizing budget, optimizing a site better, to leveraging technology to determine next steps, being in the game is key. Creating fresh content for your business website needs to include a cohesive perspective of how your site visitors consume your content and their purchasing preferences. Prospective buyers don't just want someone to listen to their words; they are more likely to complete a purchase from people who make them feel like their voice was heard.
That isn't done overnight.
Having a great product and customer service alone doesn't cut it. Often it is the business with the greatest investment in sales and marketing their site's content wisely, including video content.
Search Trend Statistics According to Captoria:
46% of companies spend less than 9% of overall revenue.
24% of companies spend 9 to 13% of overall revenue.
30% of companies spend greater than 13% of overall revenue.
More than ever, marketers are feeling the need to be more strategic in just how that spend is executed. Therefore, understanding updates in how GoogleBot determines ranking changes becomes increasingly important.
10 Key Factors Behind the Shift in the Cloud Market and Search
1. Prominence of the Mobile-First World
Whether businesses were ready or not to adjust to mobile marketing, the perspective and preferences of users certainly has. Going forward Augmented Reality, and Virtual Reality are progressively obtainable to billions of buyers and searchers using mobile devices. This enormous adoption of smartphone devices means that both earned and paid search must conform to how potential consumers want to engage new businesses and make a purchase.
The pressure to have a fast loading site for mobile users who want in-the-moment answers will continue. For an example of how fast online search is changing consider the medical search movement. As insurance costs escalated, more individuals are relying on the web for basic health-related answers versus running into their doctor's office as often.
In October Google talked more about its major change in its strategy in the smartphone market, as the search giant unveiled a 'family of products' — Pixel, Daydream, Home, and WiFi. This signals a move to into a new bucket of products which have both 'hardware and software made by Google'.
We know that Pop-Up Ad Formats will be penalized in 2017. Google announced its plan to lower rankings of sites that have annoying pop-ups on smartphones by 2017. Digital publishers heavily engaging on these ads formats to keep their site traffic up, are forced to change by next year if they want to remain in good standing with the search giant.
The true lesson here is that marketers should embrace change by expanding their thinking into new ways to engage users across multiple channels and devices. Silo marketing efforts relying on the device of first-touch can refocus and find untapped potential in mobile. Where web traffic on retail sites is relatively equal between mobile and desktop users, mobile conversion rates are improving when multi-platform users become the focus.
2. Voice Search
More individuals are questioning if marketing is now more of a science than art given new highly sophisticated cognitive learning technologies that assume many tasks and are even doing them better than a human could. Voice search is at the forefront of AI. Voice search and speech recognition used by digital assistants may free up marketers to divert their time to tackling overarching responsibilities, such as finding ways to create the right voice and vision to make an emotional connection with consumers.
By laying the underpinnings for vastly more sophisticated one-to-one marketing, AI could even create a need for businesses to engage analytics, content and other areas that offer the chance to gain a competitive edge through customer-centric marketing.
Venture Beats says "our verbal linguistics often don't match up with our written word. We've gotten used to typing major keywords into Google, but voice search works differently. It works by phrases."
Today's use of natural language in operative voice search is conversational. Voice search is increasing adapting to human speech recognition so that we can talk to digital assistants in a way resonates with how we talk in any everyday manner to each other. "Siri, tell me where the nearest gas station is" has much more of a conversational sense than just typing "fuel" into a search bar. And the result is not stagnant. Rather, it switches up how websites and businesses will intermingle with clients and alters best practices for search engine optimization.
3. Changes in Semantic Data Modeling
Web pages that previously centered around one particular keyword or keyword phrase have needed to change to being topic focused instead. When and where it's worthwhile to continue to implement SEO strategies around the use of long tail keywords is in question. Each business site must listen to understand what long-tail keywords are, what they are compared to, and how their strategic implementation needs to evolve to help you create a strong affinity for your target audience.
Semantic data modeling will influence search for a long time to come – however the form that takes is evolving and will continue to reshape and influence SEO. Using advancing semantic technologies, businesses can understand and leverage their big data in new ways to automate knowledge discovery and gain clout online. The search giant states***** that "our work spans the range of traditional Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, with general-purpose syntax and semantic algorithms underpinning more specialized systems.
"Regardless of the technological advances that occur, there will at a very minimum continue to be a need for people who are able to understand business needs for data and can model and define that data accordingly, even if it's done solely at the conceptual or semantic level. Data and semantic modeling require specific skill sets, and not everyone is able to deal with the level of abstraction required for modeling," states Pete Stiglich of Clarity Solution Group**.
Business success depends much on your online reputation and it can be improved and then preserved through the creation of content that fits new semantic search criteria. That means that future blog posts, news articles written by or about you, video content, apps, etc., should be planned in such a way that you don't count on rank highly on Google just because of keywords, but because of its real value added impact and relevance to searches involving your brand.
4. RankBrain
The acceleration of improvements in search is much attributed to the role of artificial intelligence, powered by fast-paced machine learning algorithm updates. Rankbrain is Google's primary algorithm in Google's search technology that is reshaping the approach webmasters engage to win more visibility in search engine result pages (SERPs) and to win new customers. By laying the underpinnings for vastly more sophisticated one-to-one marketing, AI could even create a need for businesses to engage analytics, content, and other areas that offer the chance to gain a competitive edge through customer-centric marketing.
When it comes to effectively optimize your content for RankBrain, how certain terms are used when covering everything from product information, images, video content, facts and stats that support your premise, – all matter.
It is fascinating how artificial intelligence connects search queries to user intent. RankBrain essentially evaluates a query by a query interpretation model that's tough to optimize for. It's going to evaluate the words in that query and the intent behind it. It's potentially considering factors like location or personalization when interpreting these queries. Ranking signals are then applied to the results deemed appropriate to that specific query.
5. Changes in Use of Structured Data
Google recently added sweeping changes to its structured data documentation for the article data type. How they are added to an AMP page is now different than a standard HTML page. Correct structured data implementation is key to visibility in new features of the Google Knowledge Graph and rich snippets. Even when a site has gained rich snippets, John Mueller of Google indicates that that doesn't mean all Google quality algorithms think your site is quality. There are over 200 factors that go into being attributed to a site of high quality.
New carousel searches are showing up in higher numbers. Google explains that "Host-specific lists display cards from a single site within a specific category. This markup uses a combination of ItemList markup and individual data type markup to enable a carousel of lists to appear in Search". Google is improving by leaps and bounds just how its comprehension of Structured Data Islands that are embedded in Web Pages leverage markup from the Schema.org vocabulary. Everything also is now more deeply integrated with your Google Business Listing.
Google has only so much space in search results to display rich snippets. Their algorithms must decide in a fraction of a second which limited set of websites and pages they award this visibility to. The result is that a competitive site may be seen as having the more relevant answer to the search query and thus wins the rich card snippets. This means that your site somebody else who previously had them now loses them.
6. Faster, Better, Richer DevOps
For businesses relying on apps to discover new customers wherever they are, it takes real skill to keep up with the comprehensive set of development and testing tools that empower your business to deliver at cloud speed. Cloud development is already here while gaining a burgeoning presence in the future. The opportunities to use an app more strategically in AdWords marketing awards websites that have accelerated mobile pages (AMP) in place.
Integrated technology is typically about adding convenience and improving people's quality of life. Automating routine SEO and development tasks is just practical sense. Automation is also a core component of DevOps. The current evolution for automation is for machine learning and artificial intelligence to enable tasks to be automated because time simply makes them impractical to do. SEO is only as effective as it is correct. The use of advancing AI means that errors will be identified faster than before; Fix all technical issues, including resolving any incorrect Product markup syntax.
7. The Power of Social Media Integration
Businesses, in general, find that they can no longer afford to pass on social media engagement, yet they must revamp their approach to make sense of it. A solid social networks footprint will be even more important in your overall approach to search marketing in 2017. The enormity of change in how this drives traffic to a site is staggering and is nothing less than extraordinary. How to see revenue in return for marketing dollar spends, marketers must adapt their approach. The future of search marketing involves a focus on quality messages and responses to users across all your communication channels.
"99% of Social Media Posts receive near zero engagement fail to create a stir. Even sponsored campaigns fall flat. Yet, few posts go viral overnight and the person and the brand become celebrities overnight, without spending a dime on promotions. Getting a fair share of returns on investments in Social Media marketing efforts continue to be a challenge for enterprises and small and medium businesses worldwide," says Subhendu Pattnaik, Director Marketing, Gallop Solutions.
Given the integration of the Twitter platform and Google for social marketing, it is logical that Google opts to show tweets from a verified Twitter user (especially a celebrity or trusted source) as an option of information for searchers. October 1, 2016 News from Marty Baes on TechTime, stated that "Google is planning to take over Twitter to further boost its YouTube platform".
The popularity of video consumption growth lends to increased use of Google's YouTube marketing channel. It can quench viewers thirst for much-updated content and marketers need for very ad-friendly platforms. Its lack of short form is easily found on Twitter, which conveniently generates a lot of updated content but tussles with monetizing spent marketing dollars.
This new search will also probably place more emphasis than ever on high-traffic sites like LinkedIn, WordPress, and social media outlets – meaning that you should always keep your profiles on these services fully updated, professional, and using the latest features.
New Cloud Machine Learning Groups are emerging, which in itself proves how AI is not only reshaping the technology that Google uses, but also changing how the business must organize and run digital operations. This rapid re-orientation is found in Facebook and Twitter, who have also appointed internal groups akin to Google Brain, the team responsible for permeating the search giant's own tech with AI.
8. Spammy Backlink Detection
A site's backlink profile is more quickly and correctly assessed by recent algorithm changes. How backlinks are accrued plays into search rankings. Inbound links from aged domains are more powerful than links obtained from the newer sites that have yet to be tried, tested and become trusted. The number of referring domains remains a crucial factor in Google algorithms. Links that are separated from class-c IP addresses indicates when a broader breadth of domains is linking to your business.
White hat SEOs are excited to see these AI changes roll out for more applications such as backlink analysis and better spam detection. Additionally, linking web pages can bolster search engine rankings, even when from the same external domain as well as from your own internal pages. The anchor text you choose in your linking profile matters more than it did before and should move more in the direction of how people converse.
8. Google is Getting Fussier About Sites Techincal SEO
There may seem to be more rules regarding how a site's coding is done, how well it's site hirachary is executed, where and how many JavaScript files are loaded from, how structured data is used for AMP, and many more technical details. This has meant that more sites are aware of both their need of and benefits from conducting a technical site audit.
9. Expansion of Domain Options
The influence of a domain extension has yet to be determined. We do know that Google is VERY savvy and your domain history decides whether you are "good" or "bad" as far as trust goes. Quality content is more important. Google stands by the site with good content and repute. Matt Cutts, a Google engineer claims that in Google algorithm domain age is an insignificant factor. While no search engine has confirmed that they go by the length of a domain registration as a factor in scoring, using a head search term when establishing a new domain or subdomain is still important.
When it comes to the "I, the We and It" domains, significant change is happening to the 'it domain'. "The domain of technology stretches further ahead, we either connect become a different creature, connecting with information and working/living in a new way, or we don't. As we see more Artificial Intelligence truly wake up we will see new potential and new challenges," says The Coaching Room.
NLP investigation at Google pays attention to algorithms that apply at scale, across languages, and across domains. This influences user experience in Google search, mobile, apps, paid ads, Google Translate and more.
Concerning domains, Matt Cutts has been quoted multiplied times for saying, "Small upcoming Google algo change will reduce low-quality exact match domains in search results."
10. Rise in User Conceptual Search and Identities
Previously, marketers focused on audience targeting with paid search ads based solely on the keywords that matched up with landing pages. SEO has moved to a stronger focus on what users want and their identities. With more data and tools available to better identify and target specific audiences, marketers should take advantage of what is available now and plan ahead in anticipation of increasing changes.
The most effective way to do this is to restructure SEO campaigns not only around long-tail keywords, but around user conceptual search and the different stages of the consume behavior journey that audiences exist in. At every stage in the consumer journey, tailor your copy, landing page experiences, and strategies to be about the different behaviors of each audience – rather than just keywords. This is the foundation to an improved understanding of your audiences and will prepare your marketing strategy for additional developments in audience targeting.
Wikipedia explains how AI uses Concept Search: "A concept search (or conceptual search) is an automated information retrieval method that is used to search electronically stored unstructured text (for example, digital archives, email, scientific literature, etc.) for information that is conceptually similar to the information provided in a search query. In other words, the ideas expressed in the data information retrieved in response to a concept search query are relevant to the ideas contained in the text of the query.
A range of systems based on Artificial Intelligence and NLP now apply to semantic processing, and most of them depend on the use of auxiliary structures such as controlled vocabularies and ontologies.
What this Means to The Future of Search Marketing
Users love being engaged with the latest devices and forms of obtaining answers which propel technology advancements to the point that changes are coming at a dizzying clip for SEOs. The way marketers and SEO'ers manage search engine optimization (SEO) is evolving faster than we have ever experienced. New Top Stories carousels are showing up more often and new features continually emerge within Knowlege graphs and rich cards.
Whether or not individuals and businesses are familiar with the term the "Machine Learning Age", they are much reshaped by it. It is "a period that will prove as transformative for businesses and individuals as the Internet has been over the last 20 years. When it comes to search the buzzwords that make marketers' spines shiver are "semantic search" and "Rankbrain", says David Amberland****.
This means that search marketers must rapidly update their organic SEO strategies and integration of PPC advertising while testing user engagement and keeping a scalable, on-demand infrastructure to comply with needs for a competitive edge. Google is also switching up the way search results visually appear, especially search results for famous people or national news. The newer formats may be found more often in the AMP News Carousel, knowledge graphs, and later versions of automatically animated GIFs in your Google image search results.
An ability to understand the drastic conceptual change that has occurred in search because of these influencing factors is vital to business revenue. SEO and SEM were much simpler in the past, relying on fresh website content, less complex link-building strategies, on-page optimization, and easier wins in AdWords campaigns. That is not to say that it was easy but that it was "easier". Now a more carefully crafted marketing plan will avoid attributing budgets, time, and staff priorities to old and less effective methods of search marketing.
Artificial intelligence plays a role in search that reduces the mastery of black hat SEO techniques that previously successfully gamed the system – at least till caught. Now, new devices and user preferences have transformed our multi-dimensional universe of search ranking signals. While search and the need for SEO still exist, it demands a revamped approach to using search for success in online marketing.
Why the Human Touch is Central to Search and Artificial Intelligence Advancments
Despite such massive technology development and robots responding to voice generated search queries, marketers who focus on natural language and the human element in the search process, are rewarding for focusing on the user experience. Only careful selections of automation tasks that utilize the best of big data technology avoid a canned user experience; rather, you can win new clicks and customers. While digital tools and advanced technologies will never fully replace the personal side of customer relationship building, they are necessary for identifying the right messages and what it takes to have an adeptness to stay on top of search trends going forward. For example, new rich featured snippets are showing up in the Google local pack; you want to be there!
All of this requires a solid Google Analytics setup to help scrutinize the impact of a business's content and brand messaging for on-going relationship building with current clients and future potential buyers. Business branding, digital marketing, and search engine optimization techniques must adapt to allow each of the above search influencers to work and enhance overall efforts. Know what tone and voice to use that adds clarity to your business identity and brand reach.
Businesses now depend on a complex integration of online and offline marketing efforts to create efficiencies in marketing scale while maintaining site quality and new content to consistently grow customer trust and loyalty.
