Search engines have become popular and have been widely used in the last decade to get more information about a person, place or thing. Every new venture wants a digital presence and, on that front, needs a website. A website is what a prospective customer will first view via a search engine to know more about a company. Search engines help in driving traffic to your website which in turn helps with you getting more sales. You need to optimize the search engine to ensure your company comes up when looked for industry-specific keywords. This can be done through SEO and SEM.
Simply put SEO is the practice of increasing traffic to your website through organic search engine results while SEM is the process of increasing website traffic by putting up ads on search engines.
Most companies prefer using one method to the other weighing their individual pros and cons. But when both of these methods are used smartly, the results are mostly overwhelming! Following are the reasons why either SEO or SEM or maybe both could be the choicest way for your company's marketing strategy.
The more your company's website shows up in an organic search when using targeted keywords, the more awareness it creates in the minds of the consumers. By doing this, the company demands authority in its specific field gaining more traffic.
Most users skip the ads section when they browse info. They shift their gaze to organic searches, as they are more credible. The higher your company is in the SERP, the more people will talk about your brand. The more people talk to each other about your brand, the more trust it gets.
Unlike SEM where you are charged for every click, SEO is technically free as the traffic comes from organic searches. The only investment will be your time and effort in coming up with a strategy.
The traffic that you currently get for your website won't disappear even if the basic funding stops, unlike SEM, as SEO is based on organic searches. Based on your previous works, you will still get traffic for your website.
There are two sides to every coin and SEO has its share of cons as well. SEO is not all technical and you need to venture into the creative side as well to get ahead and establish your business. For this, you will require a carefully planned out marketing and branding strategy that will involve you skilfully using industry-based keywords. If you're new to the world of business, then you will have to take on existing giants in your field using the said keywords.
Unlike SEO, which only targets the specific keywords that are submitted, SEM can also target based on specific time, day, geography, device, language and also when the audiences are most available based on the previous history.
With SEO success can be witnessed only after months while with SEM, the results are almost instantaneous. Companies that are launching new products or services that need to be advertised to the public at the earliest can use this method. Since this process is quicker at getting results, one can experiment with what type of landing pages and call to actions can be used.
You can control how much you wish to spend on the ads per day. The ads are automatically brought down as soon as you've spent the set amount. SEM is the fastest and best way to get your business in the spotlight!
Though people prefer and click on organic ads, paid ads are the ones that come up first in a search engine. This means that to get to the organic ads, people will still give your ad a glance. With this being said, if the audience does not find what they are looking for, they will come back to the paid ads, as that will have more relevance and credibility.
To keep SEM up and running, you need a constant flow of cash. Once you stop the inflow of cash, everything you worked for disappears. Also to have a successful SEM you need to constantly tweak it and make it better and more relevant to the market. After all of this, if you still do not get the right leads, you have just spent a lot of dough without getting anywhere.
The right way to optimize your digital marketing strategy is to find out which method works best for your business and sometimes employ both SEO and SEM. This is because while one sustains you and prepares you for the long haul, one gets your business the attention and advertisement it needs at this very moment.

Shame through the eyes of Mc Queen
Author: Aleph Published: February 15, 2012 0 comments
Michael-Fassbender-in-Shame
This year already highly debated and to some critics overrated new feature 'Shame' directed by Steve Mc Queen does in several ways stand out as a cinematographic exercise but honestly also disappoints in other ways. This can easily explain the controversy around a film in which the protagonists who are mentally and physically suffering while dealing with issues of sexuality and of true intimacy, slowly sink into a void where no escape route can help them out. Brother and sister – Brandon and Sissy – temporarily share his apartment where he lives a solitary yet successful life as a young man in his thirties. Brandon can financially afford to keep up with his ever-present lust and sex obsession. As his sister shows up one day, we see how complex their relation of attire and rejection is between them and in their separate lives in the big apple.
Set in downtown NYC close to Madison Square Garden, the film relates to so many ' unknown' civilians in a western metropolis in search for true attention and care while, at the same time, they themselves do not know how to give love and to practically and mentally balance between careers, high expectations, and their unsolved childhood issues. The two main characters played by Michael Fessbinder and Carey Mulligan really do live up to what they can be expected to act out. They are building an oeuvre that is already solid as a rock as they show off to be truly gifted actors, diving deep into the souls of their character. If Mc Queen's intentions were to merely show the emptiness of sex addiction he has done a good job.
Seeing this film on a valentine's night out, like we did, was maybe not the smartest idea. So that explains the disappointment. But the rest of the experience is just great cinema.

In an interview director Steve Mc Queens shares more on the steps that led towards the final form in which SHAME is shown to us now. He also mentioned other masters (Robby Muller) who inspired him, who's influence is clearly visible in this film. Mc Queen explains why he choose the title 'Shame' through conversations with real life sex addicts. The film is a journey through the mind of a lonely single man played by Michael Fessbinder who won several awards for his (in)credible creation.

Lamar Odom Is 'Tired' of Being Asked About His Exes as He Celebrates Relationship with Sabrina Parr
Celebrity By TooFab Staff | 10/24/2019 11:33 AM PT
This Week In Celebrity Photos View Photos
"I'm at where I want to be at," he exclaims.
Lamar Odom is done living in the past.
While he recently released a tell-all and did a multitude of interviews about his relationships with Taraji P. Henson, Khloe Kardashian and ex-wife Liza Morales, he's ready to move forward and focus on the present.
The former basketball star shared a photo of himself and girlfriend Sabrina Parr on Thursday morning, showing the two in an embrace as he grabbed her behind and kissed her cheek. In the caption, he expressed frustration over being asked about his exes.

Why Khloe Kardashian Was Conflicted Following Phone Call with Lamar Odom
"The look on @getuptoparr face is how she makes me feel everyday. Outside of my daughter, this is the most serious and committed relationship I've ever been in with a woman," he wrote.
"I'm tired of people asking me questions about my ex's [sic] based on old interviews and old comments!" his post continued. "I said what I said then based on where I was in life at that time. I was young, wasn't sober and going through a lot. All of that is different now. I'm at where I want to be at!"
It's unclear which interviews he was referring to, but Odom did make headlines this week after a preview clip from TVOne's "Uncensored" was dropped online. In it, the former NBA star blamed himself for breaking it off with Taraji P. Henson to be with Khloe.
"Things ended with Taraji because of me being an immature punk, I didn't know how to tell her that I was falling in love with another woman named Khloe Kardashian," he admitted.
Lamar Odom Says Khloe Kardashian Was Behind Split with Taraji P. Henson
"I wish I would have done things different with her," Lamar said of his relationship with Taraji. "She was a little older than me, but I learned a lot from her because that was the most significant relationship as a grown-up that I had with a black woman."
Khloe also opened up about Lamar in a clip from Sunday's new episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," where she was seen talking to her sisters about a recent phone call with him.
"I miss him all the time, but not in a place where I want to get back with him," she prefaced the conversation. "So he calls me and he was like, 'I just knew we were all going to talk again at some point, I'm so happy.' He was like, 'I would love to see you, I've been dying to see you in person, I feel like we have so much to talk about.'"
She, however, was hesitant to meet up.
"It feels really good just to have a decent nice conversation with Lamar, but I really don't know what the right thing to do is in the situation," Khloe later said in a confessional. "I don't want to mislead him in any way, but I would like to meet with him."
Lamar's episode of TVOne's "Uncensored" and the new episode of KUWTK both air Sunday.

The conference welcomed over 300 delegates, which included many executives, traders, financial institutions, and agribusiness leaders. The agenda included workshops, forums, and seminars, which discussed the role of fertilizers within West Africa, and how best the agricultural industry can join with international partners to gain a stronger agricultural output.
Nectar Group also sponsored the conference's evening reception, which was a lovely cocktail party, with a variety of light entertainment.


I've been watching this come along since it started. Dianne Frith is one of those amazing stitchers, she uses stitching as medication for so many things and I just adore her. Her stitch is so fast and well… give this a look. It didn't even take her a year to complete. She got permission from the artist that allowed me to make this chart, so it's a custom one time chart made for her. However, it's also a brilliant example of stitching in general.


Given the current environment why don't you expand your activity abroad? Why are start-ups not searching for more opportunities in emerging markets in order to combat the local recession?
International expansion can provide a start-up with tremendous growth opportunities. It allows your company to grow faster by casting a wider net, and helps diversify your revenue stream. While global expansion can be an exciting time, it's a significant undertaking and requires some careful planning and making some hard decisions.
There are several important things to take in consideration when expanding a start-up internationally .
1.It is very important to follow your customer base and your prospects.
To determine where your biggest global opportunity exists, take a look at your customer base. If 50% of your International customer base is in Europe and only 10% is in America, it makes a lot of sense to choose Europe as your International business base. There is a great deal of research and networking that can be done at minimal cost before you need to buy a plane ticket and spend cash or invest in these markets. Make sure you have enough proven revenue in a region before opening up a new branch.
Also take a look at where the majority of your non-domestic prospects, or leads, live. You may notice that you're generating the most leads in a country other than your largest international customer base. If this is the case, take conversion rates and cultural factors into consideration. Even though you're generating a lot of leads in a particular country, can its population afford your products' price point?
Finally, as much as we'd like to make ''data-driven decisions'', the choice of location might come down to people. Does one of the founders have a particular affinity or background in a location? Knowing your business'metrics and numbers can help you make better decisions but these "people-driven decisions" should be considered. Often, the revenue perspective is not the "best" decision.
Why would you expand into an emerging market if achieving a return on that investment takes a long time and may not occur? If the local market and closer markets are in recession and emerging markets are growing…why not take the risk ?
Expanding internationally is a big investment, so it's important to get the highest return of investment possible. With going international there is a risk involved, but on the other hand, the return on investment will depend of the business plan and the way the start-up intends to achieve it. Defining an international revenue goal for your international office will help you determine things like: the number of sales representatives needed to generate $X in revenue, the diversity of marketing tools needed to make those sales representatives successful, the number of customer service representatives in order to serve the international customer segment. Setting clear goals ahead of time will help keep the team that opens up the international headquarters accountable for its success.
It is very well known that start-ups are very cautious about investing even relatively small amounts of money in the current climate. The principal method of achieving this with litte or no risk is to employ the services of consultants that can find distributors on the basis of commission, which means that you don't need to employ anyone, and you have no fees to pay if a sale is not made. That company will get all the assistance they need to make the sale, including regulatory, and negotiations which would include ensuring purchase order evidence if it were to be required to secure a bank loan. Regarding the cost of hiring someone, there could be many options and if they are the right people, the revenues could have an interesting return. All companies have finite resources – people and capital – and have to choose carefully how they invest them. If you are larger you can place more bets but it is usually the aggressive upstart with a good strategy that grows faster – albeit from a smaller base. On the other hand, if you make access to capital easier and cost of capital lower, resource constraints can partly be remove. If you DO decide to venture overseas, do it as a "networked consortium" made up of like minded business. Share the costs, burden risks and eventually rewards. What you may lack in resources, people and money is made up from the other members of the group.
The skills and expertise of the locals is the most important and most valuable aspect when facing the opportunity of going abroad. Another important aspect to take in consideration is the fact that overseas market might be more receptive to local sellers.
A major benefit of opening up an office overseas is being able to recruit local talent, who will be experts in your industry in their culture because no one will be better prepared than the people who grew up in the region. On the other hand overseas markets often need a local contact or network of contacts to build into, and most start-ups lack time, money and patience to spend 1-5 years building up such a network.This fact may require a different message to sell to overseas markets and lack resources or knowledge to create such a message. And not to mention different local legal situation making is proportionally more expensive to engage with an unfamiliar market, legal system, trade system, etc.
It is important to plan to hire mainly locals to staff your International representatives and be sure to maintain your company culture. Going overseas also needs local partnership which is not easily acquired. This can help businesses discover opportunities big and small which could provide you with the first step into a new market. Local partnerships of any size can provide you with information and advice on exporting whether you are doing it for the first time or looking to expand further into new markets.
Networking with companies who have already taken the opportunity of going abroad seems to bring positive benefits as often there are synergies.
In this environment, business, especially the start-ups stand little chance of attracting the kind of investment that helps to cover the cost of new market entry and effective sales penetration with experienced sales and business managers able to deliver the kind of results required.
You have to be aware that there are those who will risk their all on a commission package, but, with people, you get only what you pay for. If you want good people, be prepared to pay for them or your efforts will go unrewarded. The solution (as in most marketing) is to have a niche product or service which people are willing to pay premium on to justify the costs of importing that product or service.
Although Europe is becoming very dependent on virtual communication, in-person interaction is highly valued in cultures like Europe and East Asia. Use conferences and networking events to make connections with local industry-leaders in the region you're opening your new office. Plan to stay a couple extra days after the conference for face to face meetings with your new connections. Meet with local press in-person to provide interviews on your global expansion plans.
Networking with the locals will help you spread the word not only about your product, but about the career opportunities now available to the local marketplace. You may need to hire aggressively during the first couple years in your new office branch, so networking is imperative to drive high-quality candidates to your business. And the meetups is the best marketing strategy for going international, because they're easy to organize, relatively predictable, and highly effective for creating champions – people who will spread the word about us because they believe in us. At such an early stage of your company's development, understanding what customers want and need is paramount.
Every business and every investment is a risk. But, if you have people on disposition, if communication between the owner of the company (the investor) and management good, than the risk is minimized; and communication is absolutely necessary to minimise surprises and maintain trust; government/embassy/ "support" counts for very little if/when a crunch comes. This fear arises because it is an unknown environment, political situation and economic situation in a foreign country. There is also a language barrier to overcome that the start-ups seem still less willing to invest in. Why go on expensive overseas research or attend Fairs if you don't have a simple brochure in the local language or some pages on your website?
Just as marketing best practices vary from culture-to-culture, so do business practices. However, in Europe, it is customary for employees to have at least 20 non-holiday vacation days and be required to take all of them. It's important to take this cultural difference into account when projecting sales quotas and development sprints.
Negotiating leases and contract. It is not that expensive to start a business and by renting and leasing what you can, you can really save a lot of money upfront .
Determining company structure. Expect that you will need ongoing support for deciding the best and the right company structure and plan to hire agencies/local consulting services to help if you don't have the resources in-house.
Setting up accounting and tax reporting system. You'll need your finance and operations departments to be very well organised. Plan to hire local accountants/tax law experts in order to support the local finance department.
Supporting local employees' human resurces resources needs. Again, global expansion is a big investment, and it's important to get these basic elements right from the get-go.


I have a thing for small towns, mom and pop truck stops, and local hardware stores. We live about 5 miles north of a town of about 2500 people and about 10 miles south of a town with about 2800 people. The local hardware store in the closer town closed down. Now, I look forward to needing to go to the hardware store north of us.
This weekend I needed to go there. The little 5' x 8' trailer that I have owned for close to 20 years had an issue. The fender is rusting and was pulling away from the wood sides. This gave me the chance to visit my local hardware store. The repair plan seemed good. It was to pick up to L brackets, and some machine bolts, washers and nuts at the local hardware store. Then I would have to drill holes in the fenders and the wood sides. The fender is thin sheet metal and the sides are 5/4 round green treated lumber.
For the wood sides I decided to use 1 ½ " long quarter inch carriage bolts. Then 1" long bolts for the for the fenders. The local hardware store had exactly what I needed. The longer bolts were 15 cents a piece. The shorter bolts were 12 cents each. The project needed 4 of each. That meant 8 split washers at 7 cents each and the nuts were 6 cents. The brackets were $7.49 for a package of 4. That was double what I needed, but I like having extra hardware in the garage. The parts came in at a fair $9.61.
As a teenager I worked in the hardware department at a small Sears store in Glen Ellyn, IL. My starting was $2.10 an hour. It was a great job. A lot of things that I learned at that store, I still use today. Small stores matter. It can be a mom and pop truck stop, or a local hardware store. Small businesses are an important fabric of our economy.
Planning a small repair project and visiting the local hardware store is fun to me. Today, I had to haul a 4 wheeler in the trailer. The 4 wheeler was almost as wide as the trailer. I had forgotten about my $9.61 repair job and stepped onto fender to exit the trailer. It held. That left me satisfied. The repaired fender was strong.
It is so much more satisfying to me to visit our local store than a big box store. The people recognize me when I walk in. They are probably wondering what I broke this time. I would rather think they are wondering how good my plan is. Either way, I am good. The only way we can keep these small businesses, including small independent truck stops, going is to spend money there. So, not only did I make a strong repair, but I contributed to a strong local economy.

Dive Boat Owner Blamed By NTSB For Fire That Killed 34 Off California Coast : NPR
Latest News Time October 21, 2020

The National Transportation Safety Board has placed the blame for the dive boat fire that killed 34 people on the vessel's owners.
The five-member board ruled unanimously on Tuesday that it was a lack of oversight by the owners, Truth Aquatics Inc., that led to the 2019 fire — one of California's deadliest maritime disasters.
Investigators said that the burning and sinking of the Conception had made it impossible to pinpoint the exact cause of the fire. But they noted that the blaze started near the back of the deck in the boat's salon, where divers had plugged in smartphones and other devices containing lithium-ion batteries.
A sister vessel of the Conception, the Vision, had earlier experienced a fire caused by cellphone chargers, The Washington Post reports – but that fire was detected early and quickly put out.
After the Conception fire, the Coast Guard issued a safety bulletin that urged crews to "reduce potential fire hazards and consider limiting the unsupervised charging of lithium-ion batteries and extensive use of power strips and extension cords."
And one Coast Guard safety requirement was fatally overlooked, investigators said: a night watchman.
Five crew members were asleep in the upper deck that night. When a crewmember awakened and noticed a glow coming from the main deck, the crew made efforts to get to the bunkroom where the passengers and one crew member were staying, but they found their way blocked by fire.
Because there was no watchman, investigators said, by the time the fire was detected it was too big for the crew to handle – leading directly to the large casualty numbers.
Investigators found that some of the passengers were wearing shoes when they died – suggesting that they were awake and trying to escape the fire. The coroner listed smoke inhalation as the cause of death for all who died.
The bunkroom's escape hatch was also too hard for passengers to use as a means of escape, investigators said: while it met regulations, it was still inadequate.
"I hate the term accident in this case because, in my opinion, it is not an accident if you fail to operate your company safely," board member Jennifer Homendy said, according to The Associated Press.
The NTSB does not have enforcement powers. Instead, it can make recommendations for safety measures to bodies like the Coast Guard or the Federal Aviation Administration, which have not always accepted the board's suggestions.
Court documents indicate separate charges are imminent against the boat's captain, the AP reports, and other court filings show the company and its owners have offered to settle lawsuits with victims' relatives.

Prof. Dr. Felix Brandt
Florian Brandl, M.Sc., Christian Stricker, M.Sc.
Seminar SS 2018
Economics and Computation
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in topics at the intersection of economics and computer science, as witnessed by the continued rapid rise of research areas such as algorithmic game theory and computational social choice. This development is due to the emergence of computational networks such as the Internet as well as the need to get a grip on algorithmic questions in economics.
The emphasis in this seminar lies on the independent study of classic economics papers, but also, and in particular, more recent papers from computer science. Among the topics to be covered are matching theory, mechanism design, and voting theory.
Registration (*please read carefully*)
Seats are split up between students from computer science and students from other programs. All interested students should attend the overview meeting and have to send an application by email briefly describing their background (including relevant courses) and motivation (up to 250 words) as well as 2-5 papers they are interested in. Deadline for applications: January 28, 2018 (11:59pm). Students from computer science additionally have to use the matching system for indication of interest. Notifications will be sent out on February 1 (mathematics) and Februrary 21 (computer science) and include assignment of papers and supervisors. Registration in TUMonline will be taken care of by the lecturers by end of February; no further action is required.

Wold Newton Archives >
The village's celebration of Queen Victoria's golden jubilee was reported in the Grimsby News of 24th June 1887:
WOLD NEWTON. On Sunday evening a sermon, introductory to the right observance of the Queen's Jubilee, was preached by the Rector on the words, "Rejoice with them that do rejoice," Rom. xii. 15v. On Tuesday, Mr. Coates Sharpley and Mr T. Coates gave a half day holiday to the two farms. At three o'clock the children of the school, decorated with Jubilee stars, with a new British banner preceeding them, carried by the church warden, and headed by the Rector, marched to church, singing a Jubilee hymn. The church was quite full. The Rector took the thanksgiving service, and a very hearty loyal sermon was preached by the Rev. H. F. Goffe, rector of Thorgandby and curate of Ravendale and Hatcliffe, from the 107th Psalm, v.8. The service was concluded by singing the National Anthem. Afterwards the children and parishioners followed the clergy through the rectory grounds and marched in procession to the valley, where various sports were commenced. The children had their tea in Mr.Coates Sharpley's barn at 5 o'clock, and at 5.30 all the parishioners, except a very few aged and sick, sat down to well supplied tables in the barn. Hearty cheers were given for Mr. and Mrs. T. Coates, who were present, also for Mr. and Mrs. Coates Sharpley, who were detained by festivities at Kelstern. After tea, a most enjoyable evening was spent in the valley, great amusement being afforded by the various contests up to about nine o'clock, when all returned to Mr. Sharpley's stackyard, and concluded a very happy day with again singing, "God save the Queen," followed by three cheers for her Majesty and three very hearty cheers for the Rector and his family.
The coronation of King George V on Thursday 22nd June 1911 was marked by celebratory games detailed on the programme below. The stand-out event has to have been the 'Married Women's Race for Pig. Prize, The Pig' although the open obstacle race might have been interesting. The account of the day in the Deanery Monthly (attached below) reveals that everyone in the village was given a day's holiday by the farmers, flags were flown, special church services and tea or supper
for all.
With characteristic self centredness, the squire, William Wright, described the day in his diary thus:
"Thursday 22nd June
Mass at 8 for Coronation. Tremendous gale from WSW big clouds and few heavy drops at times and brilliant spells. Parsons hangs up fairy lamps. Go to Yon End to see how preparations are going on. Service 3.30 simply packed with people. Children's tea at Rectory. Big feed in Grange directly after, keeps fine. Sports on the Shepherd Hills directly after. Win sack race, 2nd in 150 yards, beaten by Alfred (presumed Addison.) All goes off splendidly without hitch."
The coronation of George V was also celebrated in sports, as reported in the East Walshcroft Deanery Monthly for July 1911:
The occasion of the coronation of King George VI seems to have been a more subdued affair. A plane tree, presented by William Wright, was planted in the churchyard by the Rev. Bettison. Details attached below.
When the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II was celebrated in 2002, we were spared the sermons and, indeed, it was an entirely secular affair. The roll-call, notes of some of the activities and photographs are attached below. You'll need a magnifying glass for the photos, but prints are available on request by clicking the 'Contact' tab on the left. Of even greater interest is the booklet compiled by Sally Harniess entitled, 'Moments in Time', which has some history of the village and its people and lots of photographs, both contemporary and historical.

Q: What is the best way to manage authentication for a large number of servers in a datacenter? I'm running a large number of servers (several hundreds) in a local datacenter. Currently most of them are Windows servers of various types, but more and more are Linux.
I would like to know what the best practice is for managing authentication on these servers for system administrators. I can deploy SSH keys to the Linux servers, and the Windows servers are domain members, but is it a better idea to use PAM to authenticate the Linux servers to the AD domain?
If I was running a completely homogeneous Linux environment, how would this answer change? Surely an AD domain wouldn't be reasonable if it were the only Windows machine?

A: I would use a combination of AD and OTP (one time password - vaultssh works great)

Q: Define a random 3-D array x2 of shape (x, y, z) and of numbers between 0 and 1 Note: Set numpy random seed value 100
• Define a random 3-D array x2 of shape (x, y, z) and of numbers between 0 and 1
• Print the value of x2
✓ Sample Case
Sample Input
3 4 2
Sample Output
[[[0.00568851 0.25242635]....

A: It is always great to show what efforts you have been already done to solve this problem, how far you've got.
If the distribution is uniform, I'd use a code like this:
import sys
import numpy
numpy.random.seed(100)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    x, y, z = [int(val) for val in sys.argv[1:4]]
    rnd_mat = numpy.random.uniform(low=0, high=1, size=(x, y, z))
    print(rnd_mat)

A: This was the question I was attempting today & I've made it to the answer
import numpy as np
import random

a = np.random.uniform(0,1,x*y*z)
print(x)
x1 = a.reshape(x,y,z)
x1

This answers your question.

Google News relaunches in the era of #FakeNews
Justin Herrick
Where you get your news from is more important now than ever before. The era of #FakeNews is upon us, and that means you can stumble upon stories lacking details or spreading misinformation. That's why Google is redesigning its news aggregator.
In the coming weeks, you'll realize that Google News is better at collecting in-depth, accurate reports from around the world.
The redesigned app takes advantage of the company's experience with artificial intelligence and machine learning. It'll use both in real-time to maintain a flow of updated information. Google News should be able to analyze information and organize them into storylines as they develop.
Here's how Google explains the technology at work:
"This approach means Google News understands the people, places and things involved in a story as it evolves, and connects how they relate to one another. At its core, this technology lets us synthesize information and put it together in a way that helps you make sense of what's happening, and what the impact or reaction has been."
Google News is also collecting your favorite sources in a new way. There's a 'For You' section that begins with a briefing of the top five stories that you might be interested in. Important headlines globally, nationally, and locally are included.
As you use Google News more, the app will figure out the type of stories you're more inclined to read. Content also includes images and videos from Google's own services like YouTube as well as third-party providers.
Google News should give you the full story on every story. With a feature called 'Full Coverage', you're able to draw on multiple sources at once. The app will show news, analysis, and opinions in this section; however, it's not personalized so that everyone is given the same information.
If you're a news junkie, all your subscriptions can live on Google News. The Newsstand section, which is replacing the Newsstand app, stores subscriptions and memberships in one place. Just log in with your credentials to a particular service, and its paywall will be removed from the app. Google News also lets you access over 1,000 magazines in a reading format optimized for your phone or tablet.
The redesigned Google News will be released over the next week on Android, iOS, and web in more than 127 countries.

Bees have been around for millions of years - they were fully developed in their present form long before modern mammals had evolved.
Honeybees are the most important producers of honey. They gather nectar from flowers and plants and carry it to the hive or nest. Other worker bees then take over, preparing it for storing by adding enzymes. (Water evaporates away and this, together with the action of the enzyme, turns the nectar to honey.)
Bees can fly for up to six miles, although one or two is more common.
Bees collect pollen and nectar in the spring when most plants are in bloom.
Once they have collected the pollen and nectar, they process and store honey in honey combs in the beehive.
Honey can be used to treat sore throats and coughs and even cuts and burns
Honey has long been recognized as a natural remedy and has been used as a medicine for thousands of years. It has antiseptic properties and can be used as a remedy for ailments from sore throats to burns and cuts.
For a soothing drink for sore throats, mix honey with the juice of half a lemon, add boiling water and stir.
If you're feeling low, try a spoonful of honey as a pick-me-up. The fructose and glucose in honey are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream.
Honey in Cooking
You can use honey in cooking instead of sugar. Because it is sweeter than sugar, you need to use less.
If you are experimenting with honey in a recipe, try replacing half the sugar with honey as the flavour can be very strong.
Honey is hygroscopic (meaning it attracts water) so it is good for baking cakes as it keeps them moister for longer. Look on our recipe pages for some delicious recipes using honey.
What gives honey its flavour?
Honey is produced all over the world, from the heat of the tropics to the crisp cold of Scandinavia, Canada and Siberia. The warm climate of equatorial countries allows honey to be produced for most of the year, whilst beekeepers in Finland have a short season of just 2-3 weeks each year! The distinct aroma, flavour and colour is determined by the type of flower from which the bee collects the nectar. Some honey closely mimics the characteristics of the herb or tree whose flower the bee has visited, such as Orange Blossom and Lime Blossom, or Rosemary and Thyme.
Most honey comes from bees foraging on many different floral sources, and are known as polyfloral. However some plants provide enough nectar during their short flowering season, and are so irresistible to the local bee population, that a hive can yield honey from one single type of flower. This honey, known as monofloral, is keenly sought by beekeepers.
Here in Britain, honey is produced primarily for the local market. With over 35,000 beekeepers throughout the country harvesting honey from Apple Blossom, Cherry Blossom, Hawthorn, Lime Blossom, Dandelion, and the more popular and commercially viable Borage and Heather; an excellent range of different honey types are available on our own doorstep. The beekeeper also plays an important role in the pollination of fruit crops, and he travels for miles with his bees in a season to help pollinate plants and trees that produce the fruit we see in our supermarkets.
Unfortunately production in Britain is limited due to the unpredictable climate in this country. In a normal year around 4,000 tonnes is produced in Britain, but we consume over 35,000 tonnes per year spread on bread, in cereals, in baking and cooking, or simply by the spoonful! Fortunately, this demand is met thanks to areas of the world with longer production seasons, and a surplus of honey available to trade. This also introduces us to a whole new range of aromas and exotic flavours from different parts of the world.
Nothing is ever added or taken away from honey
