Google's Panda Update: Haters, Cheaters and Consequences
Whenever Google has a major algorithm change or update, like clockwork, you can count on a huge army of "haters" to come pouring out of the woodwork complaining about the injustice of it all. Google's last major update, "Panda" was no exception. The criticizing and complaining came fast and furious and non-stop. And even though the update occurred months ago, people are still posting diatribes about it on websites across the Internet. Sheesh…get over it, already!
Or, as they say in the hood, "Don't hate the player, hate the game!" <<—-(Lisa @ Greatson's fav saying!)
Just to be clear, I'm not talking about those individuals whose website took a hit, who are just venting – blowing off a little steam. I can appreciate and understand their frustration.
No, I'm talking about all those Google haters out there (you know who you are) – malcontents who gripe and complain about anything and everything Google does – for no other reason than the fact they hate Google for its sheer and utter dominance.
I'm particularly amused by those individuals who threaten they are going to get revenge and teach Google a lesson. They say they're going to boycott Google and start optimizing their sites for Yahoo and Bing. Yep, that'll show Google who's boss alright.
The fact of the matter is, they should have been optimizing for Yahoo and Bing all along. You should NEVÉR put all your eggs in one basket – even if that basket happens to be the most powerful search engine on the planet.
Diversification wins the day – always has. Be smart, and try to get as much traffic as you possibly can from all three major search engines. You can start by registering your site with all three search engines. To register your site with Google: Google Webmaster Tools.
The process is similar with Yahoo: Yahoo Site Explorer, and Bing: Bing Webmaster Tools.
What are the benefits of registering your site with the search engines? There are many including:
o Keyword relevancy percentage grading
o Access to top search queries on the respective search engines
o Access to crawl errors, search engine feedback on sitemaps and robots.txt
o Latest data regarding incoming links and internal links
o Helpful and constructive suggestions for HTML optimization
o Valuable insight into crawling and indexing activity on your site
And just like during the heyday of the Big 3 automakers, GM, Ford and Chrysler, when GM was unquestionably the most powerful automobile company on the planet, on the Internet, the Big 3 are Google, Yahoo and Bing. And Google is unquestionably the most dominant search engine on the planet.
But despite Google's dominance, it's still important to optimize your site for all three major search engines. Because in addition to the aforementioned benefits, Google is losing market share (albeit slightly), while new-kid-on-the-block Bing is rapidly gaining market share.
"Google lost 16 percent of its market share. It dropped from 73.9 percent last year to just shy of 64 percent. Bing on the other hand grew handsomely. In fact, Bing grew its market share a whopping 75% to 17 percent of the search engine market from 9.7 percent last May 2010.(Source: CompetePulse)
This fact is bolstered even further when I analyze my own stats. Even though the vast majority of my search engine traffic still comes from Google, I'm starting to see more and more traffíc coming from both Yahoo and Bing consistently, instead of sporadically like before.
Speaking of Bing, Roger Janik, President and Founder of ServerSideDesign.com, has written an excellent article about Bing's recent surge, as well as Google's recent loss in market share titled, Google Losing Market Share in Search Engine Wars.
But getting back to Google's algorithm changes, the following are a timeline of Google's major updates:
o 2003-05-01 "Fritz" update
o 2003-05-16 "Florida" update
o 2007-01-25 Googlebombs "defused" update
o 2009-02-20 "Vince" update
o 2010-05-01 "Mayday" update
o 2011-02-24 "Panda" update
o 2011-05-10 "Panda 2.1" update
o 2011-06-16 "Panda 2.2" update (Source: ToddNemet.com)
We all know Google implements these earth-shattering and game-changing updates from time to time. But instead of griping about it, have you ever stopped to consider why Google has these updates? I have, and whether you agree with its methods or not, Google has always maintained its mission is to deliver "the most relevant and useful search results possible."
Unlike a lot of cynics out there, I believe that's exactly what Google is trying to do – deliver the most relevant and useful search results possible. But that's not the only reason for Google's perpetual algorithm changes. Google is also concerned about maintaining the integrity of its search results, while trying to stay one step ahead of cheaters who relentlessly attempt to manipulate Google's SERP's (Search Engine Results Pages). And it's not always the usual suspects either.
"Google built its business on the strength of algorithms that yield speedy results. The company constantly refines those formulas, and sometimes takes manual action to penalize companies that it believes use tricks to artificially rise in search rankings. Recently, it has cracked down on retailers J.C. Penney Co. and Overstock.com Inc. Google acknowledged it "can and should do better" to beat back sites that "copy content from other websites" or provide information that is "just not very useful" but are ranked highly anyway." (Source: Wall Street Journal)
Overstock.com was penalized for utilizing link exchanges that violated Google's WebMaster Guidelines in an effort to effectively gain an unfair advantage in Google's SERPs.
Overstock allegedly offered 10% discounts to teachers and students in exchange for links on coveted .edu websites. Exchanging links for a discount is a clear and flagrant violation of Google's Webmaster Guidelines. As a consequence of being spanked by Google, Overstock's sales dipped 5 percent. In addition, Overstock suffered a whopping 32 percent loss in organic traffic. And while a 5 percent dip in sales might not sound all that significant for a Fortune 100 company like Overstock which had revenues of $1.1 billion in 2010, it can potentially amount to tens of millions of dollars in lost revenue.
Like I said earlier, just like elections have consequences, so too does cheating!

Frieze New York is the first art fair to return to the city
From late March last year, restrictions due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic forced the cancellation of every New York art fair. Now one is making a cautious return — Frieze New York (May 5-9), the first in-person, one-venue fair to be held in the city since The Armory Show in 2020. The fair has abandoned its plans to host the event at Randall's Island — a chore to get to from anywhere — moving instead to The Shed, a non-profit cultural institution in Manhattan's Hudson Yards. Rebecca Ann Siegel, Frieze's director of Americas and content, said: "The Shed was designed for flexibility, both in its architecture and its programming, which made it the best partner for this year."

What's the distinction among who and whom? These are phrasing that purpose lots of confusion, even for native-English speakers. So, it's properly really well worth you're taking a couple of minutes to recognize the distinction among them. Below we've furnished a few smooth manuals on expertise the grammatical guidelines. We've additionally given a few examples on a way to use who and whom correctly. If you need to keep away from errors in the use of who vs whom, study on.
Who vs whom: the grammar guidelines
General rule for who vs whom:
The distinction among who and whom defined
How to apply who and whom correctly: sentence examples (with an explanation)
Example sentences: Correct use of whom
The Advanced Who vs Whom
Complex sentences: Clauses
There are some guidelines while you need to use who and whilst whom. "Who" and is a subjective pronoun. "Whom" is a goal pronoun. That virtually method that "who" is constantly difficulty to a verb, and that "whom" is constantly running as an item in a sentence. We've defined what topics and gadgets in a sentence are.
But what does that mean? An action is done by "Who," the subjective pronoun. For instance, "That's the female who scored the goal." It is the difficulty of "scored" due to the fact the female became doing the scoring. Then, "whom," because the goal pronoun, gets the motion. For instance, "Whom do you want excellent?" It is the item of "like".
Who need to be used to consult the difficulty of a sentence?
Whom to support need to be used to consult the item of a verb or preposition.
Just be careful, due to the fact there's an exception: There is one context in that you need to constantly use whom: after a preposition at the start of a sentence or clause. For instance, to whom did you cope with that letter? (Not "to who"). And, my teacher, for whom I'm doing a little research, is presently in a meeting. (Not "for who").
What distinguishes "who" from "whom" is similar to what distinguishes "I" from "me," "he" from "him," "she" from "her," etc. Who, like different pronouns which include I he, and she, is a topic? So, it's far the character appearing the motion of the verb. On the alternative hand, whom, acts like me, him, and her in a sentence. It is the item. Therefore, it's far the character to/approximately/for whom the motion is being done.
Whom is likewise the ideal desire after a preposition: with whom, one in all whom, not "with who, one in all who?"
Easy tip to inform the distinction among who and whom
We defined that "who" is a pronoun like "I" or "he." Also, "whom" is a pronoun like "me" and "him." So, from time to time it let you to rewrite the sentence update who/whom with some other pronoun so you can see the relationships greater clearly.
If you may update the phrase with "he" or "'she" you then definitely need to use who. However, if you may update it with "him" or "her," use whom. Let's examine a few examples.
Just keep in mind that if you may update a phrase with "he" or "she" you then definitely need to use who. However, if you may update it with "him" or "her," use whom. We'll check this withinside the following sentences.
With whom am I speak me? (I am speaking me with him/her. Not I am speaking me with he/she)
To whom this could concern. (These issues him/her. Not these issues he/she)
A range of pals went to the cinema, one in all whom became the birthday boy. (The birthday boy became one in all them. Not the birthday boy became one in all they.)
Actually, she knew little or no approximately the person with whom she had promised to spend the summer time season. (The summer season will be spent with him. She has not promised to spend the summer season with him.)
We've included the fundamentals of who vs whom, however it is able to get barely greater complicated. For instance, you operate the end we've offered in advance that if you may update a phrase with "he" or "she" you then definitely need to use who. And, if you may update it with "him" or "her," use whom. But what's that doesn't work, or it doesn't suit your sentence?
We've used the subsequent instance sentence before:
A range of pals went to the cinema, one in all who/whom became the birthday boy.
This sentence is tough as it carries a clause. A complicated sentence carries an unbiased clause and one or greater structured clauses. An unbiased clause can stand by myself as a sentence, however a structured clause (although it has a topic and a verb) cannot stand by myself. In the instance, "A range of pals went to the cinema" is one clause. The different clause is "one in all who/whom became the birthday boy."
The ultimate clause is adjectival clause. To placed it virtually: its method this a part of the sentence capabilities pursuits to inform us greater approximately the alternative a part of the sentence. Who went to the cinema? Friend and one in all them became the birthday boy. Click here The key lies withinside the difficulty and item of the clauses. In "whom became the birthday boy," "the birthday boy" is the difficulty, "became" is the verb, and "whom" is the item.

An interview with the winner of Miss Mandarin Japan Contest
Fri, Jun 1, 2018
Waseda Weekly
Emi's determination to change subconscious negative perception towards China
Emi Yoshikawa, third-year student at School of International Liberal Studies (SILS)
On April 22, Emi Yoshikawa stood on the final stage of the Miss Mandarin Japan Contest 2018 organized by the Japanese & Mandarin Union (JMU), where she gave a speech in Mandarin to compete with eight other finalists. It turned out that she not only shined at the contest but also took home the winning title. Consequently, she will act as the friendship ambassador between Japan and China to foster good relationship.
It was entirely by chance that Emi found out about the Miss Mandarin Japan Contest on the online version of People's Daily, the major and biggest newspaper group in China. As this was the first time the contest was held, she thought that she should give it a try to mark something new for herself and gain new perspectives. She has definitely attained them and reminded herself how trying new things and leaving one's comfort zone can open doors to new opportunities.
Emi and her encounter with Chinese language
Emi is a third-year Waseda student at the School of International Liberal Studies (SILS), where almost all classes are conducted entirely in English. Since September 2017, she has been in China to do her one-year double-degree program at Peking University. In order to take part in the Miss Mandarin Japan Contest 2018 that was held in Japan, she had had to fly back and forth between China and Japan.
While she grew up in Japan and is Japanese by ethnicity, Emi was actually born in China which made her want to learn Chinese someday. Already proficient in both Japanese and English, Emi was thinking of picking up a third language at SILS. As she somehow feels connected to China because it was her birth country, Chinese naturally became her choice. By learning Chinese, the trilingual said "it not allows her to better understand what is happening in China but also gives her access to even more information than before." Additionally, she feels that it gives her an edge over her peers too.
School Life at Peking University
Emi at Peking University
Emi started her one-year double-degree program at Peking University in September 2017. At Peking University, Emi majors in political science and attends classes with the local Chinese students. At first, mastering the Mandarin's four tones and pinyin (i.e. the romanization of the Chinese characters based on pronunciation) were the major obstacles she faced in learning Chinese. Now, reading and trying to digest vast amount of texts written in Chinese became the challenge. In addition, she also has to write essays, give presentations and engage in group discussions all in Chinese. Accordingly to Emi, students at Peking University are not only diligent but also smart. No matter how hard she tries, Emi feels that she seems to never be able to keep up with them and their knowledge. On the positive side, being in that situation has not only taught her how to appreciate deep knowledge but also how to look at things from different perspectives.
Bringing out the beauty of Beijing
Emi feels that when people think of Beijing, the first things that come to their mind are usually pollution, the Tiananmen incident or even Peking duck. However, she feels that the capital of China is more than just that. Emi has a love for photography and would take many pictures of Beijing. She would then share them on social media as well as her personal blog to bring out the best of it because she feels that real-time information about Beijing is not readily available, particularly in Japan. At present, Emi writes and updates her blog once a week. While Japanese used to be the main readers of her blog, she has seen an increasing number of Chinese readers since she started writing about Beijing.
Before entering the Miss Mandarin Japan Contest, Emi only had her blog and social media accounts to communicate with the public. However, things have changed after she won the contest and became the Miss Mandarin. She can reach out to even wider audience in a more effective way with the help of Chinese media such as the People's Daily and Record China.
Emi says she does not want to be "the bridge of Japan and China." She feels that the phrase is overused and cliché, and merely being the bridge help opens doors to new opportunities but does not leads to solutions of problems. She wants to be more than just a bridge.
Emi feels that in Japan, the media focuses a lot on the inferior-to-superior relationship between the two nations. She thinks that China has its own position and it need not necessarily have to always align itself to Japan. Increasing the existing tension and trying to bring one another down do not bring anything good. As such, she hopes to reach out to Japanese people who are uninterested in or have a negative impression about China by bringing to them the sunny side of China, with the hope of reducing existing tension and changing their perspectives about the country.

Be Engaged, Be Entertained And Be A Blessing
Celebrate the festive season in a healthy and active fashion at Sports Hub Community Play Day
The endless feasts, parties and brunches with family and friends is a mainstay of the festive season. While enjoyable, these can derail efforts to live well. So this year, why not do something different by participating in the Sports Hub Community Play Day on 7 December?
To be held at OCBC Square, the quarterly affair is an opportunity for the community to get active and be entertained and engaged with loved ones. Giving back and supporting the community is also a major aim of the event, which is fitting given that it will be held during the festive season. Sports Hub Community Play Day is part of the Singapore Sports Hub's Season of Giving, which will take place from 1 to 31 December.
This edition of Sports Hub Community Play Day will continue to add a refreshing twist on classic activities. Gather your family for the Sporting Family Fun Challenge and have a merry good time this December. Form a team of 2 to 5 members and explore 6 sporting stations with a joyful twist!
In collaboration with Sports Hub Community Play Day, the annual Santa Run for Wishes is back for the second time running at Singapore Sports Hub. The run has a strong philanthropic element, as it raises funds for Make-A-Wish Foundation® (Singapore) Ltd. This organisation helps grant wishes of children with lifethreatening conditions. Runners can look forward to three routes (2.5km, 5km and 10km), as well as a festive carnival at the event.
This quarterly event also boasts a new inclusive sporting experience at the Singapore Sports Hub's Visitors Centre. Known as HADO, it combines the fun of modern video games with the joy of evergreen outdoor activities. The game uses augmented reality — seen in the hugely-popular Pokémon GO — to create an unforgettable game of dodgeball, which is played in teams of three.
Most interestingly, there's no physical ball involved. But this doesn't make it easier, as you still have to work as hard to throw or dodge the virtual ball. You're guaranteed to be huffing and puffing by the time the 80-second game is over.
Spread the cheer by making crafts with family and friends in a series of workshops by Studio MU YU, an artisanal woodcraft brand that strongly believes in upcycling and sustainability.

a-levels / university
Students urged to use data protection laws to find out examiners' comments
By Ian Dunt Follow @IanDunt
Students who received unexpectedly bad A-level results can use data protection laws to view the examiner's comments, officials have said.
The Information Commissioner's Office told students the Data Protection Act also allows them to see a breakdown of their overall mark.
"Having access to information may not lead to their grades being altered but it could help them make decisions that impact on their future, such as deciding to re-sit an exam or pursue a particular subject at college or university," said David Smith, deputy commissioner for data protection.
"This right doesn't just apply to A-level exams. Students sitting GCSEs, Scottish Highers and degree examinations can also request to see their information. If examination bodies fail in their legal duty to respond then students can bring a complaint to the ICO and we will look into it."
The Data Protection Act allows individuals to see what information organisations hold about them.
Once a request is received an organisation generally has 40 days to respond. In the case of exam results, exam bodies must respond within 40 days from the date the results were published or within five months of the request being received – whichever of the two is the earliest.

This talk will describe a new mode of pluralist global governance, which my co-authors (Graine de Burca and Charles Sabel) and I describe as "Global Experimentalist Governance." Experimentalist Governance describes a set of practices involving open participation by a variety of entities (public or private), lack of formal hierarchy within governance arrangements, and extensive deliberation throughout the process of decision making and implementation. It is characterized also by continuous feedback, reporting, and monitoring and by established practices, involving peer review, for revising rules and practices. Experimentalist Governance arises in situations of complex interdependence and pervasive uncertainty about causal relationship, and its practice is illustrated by the arrangements devised to protect dolphins from being killed by tuna fishing practices; the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; and the Montreal Protocol on the Ozone Layer. Without presenting a full theory of the conditions under which Global Experimentalist Governance arises, I put forward four tentative hypotheses about these conditions, for discussion. I propose that governments must be unable to formulate a comprehensive set of rules and efficiently and effectively monitor compliance with them; they must not be stymied by a lack of agreement on basic principles; civil society actors must be deeply involved in the politics of the issue; and the issue must not be a matter of high politics.

It will simply do to Israel what some of the wars have done to us on a smaller scale. Attrite it, tire it, fatigue it, demoralize it, cause emigration of the best and the first, and then some sort of cataclysm at the end which cannot be predicted at this stage because we don't know who will have what by when. And after all, Iran is next door. It might have some nuclear capability. Suppose the Israelis knock it off. What about Pakistan and others? The notion that one can control a region from a very strong and motivated country, but of only six million people, is simply a wild dream."

The short response is might be. The prolonged answer is that the question could be better asked, Is a hundred percent FLASH internet site appropriate running a business. The answer to the question, with my humble view is, definitely not. In fact , we now have had many clients arrive to us this year who may have 100% Display web sites that are going to completely reprise their internet sites because they simply do not help them. They are having difficulties with search engines and with consumers who can't see all their web sites.
Of course , they do work in terms of visuals. In case you visit a Display web site, you will observe it. Must be visitor can easily see the web site doesn't automatically mean that the web site is working for your business.
Flash is technology manufactured by Macromedia, an innovator in web development tools. Adobe flash movies can be a compilation of countless images, elements and text that is then compiled into a nice, small little digital file that then gets put on the online world. Some designers build complete web sites making use of this technology. Graphic designers quite like the technology because it gives all of them a great possibility to show just how talented they are by expanding interactive, moving, and quite honestly some very entertaining internet sites. Remember though that your purpose to your business internet site is to speak with your existing and prospective clients, not to show everyone college thinks talented designer you appointed.
Flash is great since an addition element for a few graphic components of a business web-site. Recently the ability for web masters to compile digital audio and video into thumb movies is simplified and using adobe flash to stream a video is a wonderful example of an ideal use for Flash in a business web site.
Another sort of where Expensive is common and well received is certainly on web sites that are regarding presentation instead of information. For instance , a rock band, kids web sites with minor games, a photograph gallery, a movie clip are all places where Display is particularly suitable.
Does Flash have any on the internet? Absolutely it can do, but as a website purchaser despite the fact that, you have to determine the question, really does Flash experience a place on my business web page??
The brief answer is not a. Although acquireable and an element of most internet browsers when they are mounted, not we all have flash mounted with their web browser. If a visitor who does not have a flash plug-in very own PC trips a site that will need the Thumb plug-in, their very own web browser can prompt those to install it. COMPUTER and experienced with purchasing goods and services on the internet visitors will likely go ahead and get it done, but some users (like my own mother) worry if a pop-up window demands a question they usually walk away, or perhaps surf aside, thinking that they just contaminated their PC with the most current doomsday computer virus. All of that said, a large percentage of persons can see Thumb without a lot of anxiety.
Flash is often used for landing pages or post pages in web sites. Most of us have seen these people, the animated movie or commercial that leads us into a more traditional advertising web site. Maybe you have ever considered why the Flash trendy almost always areas a by pass intro link on this webpage? I believe is considered because they already know if they do not allow visitors to skip the Flash sprinkle screen they are going to burn the visitor. Keep in mind that most net surfers happen to be impatient and they are generally usually trying to find information, not another commercial. Get individuals to your main web page and do that fast.
Fashionable of using splash pages possesses declined in the past couple of years seeing that the internet seems to have matured. It really is my notion, and greatly shared, that if your site is about good information, therefore an access screen is just a road prevent to your tourists.
Search engines like google send out computerized robots referred to as spiders that crawl through the internet and create significant databases of web pages. Persons then look for web pages based upon key words that are embedded to the web page in hidden tags as well as in the text that is on the web page itself. If it is important to you that individuals find your web site then it is important to you to create well written text and links on your web pages the fact that the search engines will find, read and follow. Search engines cannot view the text in a Flash page. Search engines like yahoo cannot discover hyper-links in flash webpages and therefore are unable to follow the backlinks. Your website will not seem to be very important to many search engines mainly because to a internet search engine your web site will consist of one web page and the just relevant information that the search results will see is normally your meta-tags if that they exist.
Explained all of that, there are arguably methods for getting a Expensive site listed and catalogued by a search results. It simply is not the favored thing to do and you should likely require a Search Engine Optimization specialist to assist you.
Should you be kind enough to put backlinks on your web-site for different web sites, then you certainly are providing them with a "vote of confidence" in terms of search engine rankings. The greater web sites that link to a web site, in the eye of the search engine, makes the connected web site essential. Taking that a step additionally, the more important the web site that links for you the higher the ranking your websites will get. Moreover, sites that provide you which has a reciprocal link are in effect offering you their "vote of confidence" and in turn making your web site more important.
Keep in mind what I said earlier? Search engines cannot find hyper-links when embedded into flash. Therefore although the links are appreciated they will not contribute to the search engines conception of how valuable your internet site may be for the world and as a result all those "votes of confidence" are going to waste materials.
Make sure that those that provide you with a website link from their web site to you is not stuck into a thumb page. Backlinks should be in pure HTML or Hyper-Text MarkUp Vocabulary. If you offer links to other websites on your internet site, the same applies for you, use HTML CODE.
Web-browsers all of the have www.iranhr.it a back press button. As computer software users, and even more specifically when web browsers, we take advantage of the back switch as a couple of course. This can be a good practice to be a web creator to not break the back switch. Unfortunately, due to nature of Flash, the back button does not work for backward navigation in the flash web site.
Persons like to take a note of pages in the internet to enable them to quickly go back to them later on. Web browsers do not usually bookmark the index web page, or the key page, of your web site. For example , if you site has a awesome currency ripping tools or a wonderful mortgage calculator on it, people may simply want to bookmark just that page. You are unable to bookmark an internal page in a Flash site. You can only bookmark the main page. Try it out. Visit a totally Flash web site, surf around a bit, therefore try to book mark the webpage you are looking at. This doesn't operate, because you literally haven't changed webpages from when you arrived at the site, you have basically played the animation which will made it look as though you went to varied pages.
The cost to build up a traditional promoting web site employing standard design graphic, HTML and text is in most all cases less expensive than using Show. If you fashionable proposes to use Flash, question the question, how much would it expense to do a similar thing without expensive.
If you have the web site built 100% in Flash, you may have subscribed to a certain skill-set within your designer. If you want to make alterations, you will often need to work with someone who can work within Show. The same theory applies in case your web site is images, CODE and text. The different difference is the fact there are much more web masters basically with the eventually than in Adobe flash. It also typically will take longer to make changes to Show sites and thus your expense of maintenance can be very steep.
So to make clear, the original artwork and design and style is worked on in the. FLA format plus the final record that goes on the web server can be. SWF.
I realize it again and again where the developer does not provide the client when using the source apply for their adobe flash elements or web site. They will protect the. FLA files, and do you know what, you have to head to them with regards to updates and revisions. It does not matter how gifted your new webmaster or creator is, if you don't have the supply file together with the. FLA file format for your Adobe flash site you will not be able to replace it. You must ask your designer to provide you with this origin file if you opt to use Display elements on your web site.
Please do not translate my feedback here since me being anti-flash truth be told, it really is an excellent media technology. If you have this and want to make your web site employing 100% clean flash, there are a few things you can do to mitigate a number of the pitfalls which i have mentioned here.
Flash is great for delivering rich media just like audio and video.
Utilize the theory, add flash to your web page, rarely add the web page to flash and you should deliver a superb experience on your visitors.
If the web site is about delivering facts, make the facts first as well as the design second. Web sites that offer great articles do not need to shake, giggle, blink, click and buzz.

Bargain Bin(ge): McKay Used Books (Chattanooga, TN)
Ah, McKay Used Books. I covered the Nashville location a while back, but this time my travels took me to the Chattanooga location of the immense media store.
The chain is very small, with only three locations throughout Tennessee. It is distantly related to the similarly-titled Edward McKay Used Books chain in North Carolina, though the connection is apparently tenuous and ancient at this point.
McKay is distinguished both by its immense size and low prices: all of the locations are two stories, and packed to the gills with used media of every fashion. The bargain section for DVDs even features massive laundry bins filled with movies on sale for less than $2, which is about as good as a deal is going to get.
As always, I came away from McKay's with a nice little haul of movies:
Death Race 2000
Death Race 2000, for those not familiar with it, is one of the key Roger Corman classics. It includes an early appearance of Sylvester Stallone, David Carradine in top form, and some social commentary scattered amid the gory action. There was a remake in 2008 by Paul W.S. Anderson that wasn't entirely terrible, but missed the oddball tone of the original. If you haven't seen it, definitely give it a shot.
Fortress 2
Fortress 2 is a sequel to Stuart Gordon's Fortress, which I covered a while back. I don't know anything specific about it, though apparently the premise is that the jail is in space this time. I can only hope that things careen into something resembling an episode of Superjail!
Kingdom of the Spiders
This is another off-the-wall find. Kingdom of the Spiders is a little cult classic creature feature starring William Shatner just before Star Trek: The Motion Picture. I regard it as the middle ground between "young" Shatner and "old" Shatner, like the missing link in the evolution of Captain Kirk. Also, the movie features a boatload of live tarantulas acting as the monsters. No camera trickery or rubber suits here.
The Mangler Reborn
At first, I assumed that this was the sequel to The Mangler, the infamous tale of a murderous laundry folding machine. Unfortunately, this is actually the third movie in the series, and rounds out the inexplicable Mangler trilogy. I may have to dig up a copy of Mangler 2 before I give this one a watch. I mean, what if I miss some important plot information?
Assault on Precinct 13
I absolutely love this movie, and it has proven to be a surprisingly difficult DVD to dig up. This was regarded as the professional debut of John Carpenter, who wound up conquering the late 1970s and 1980s with highly-regarded cult movies like Halloween, They Live, Christine, Escape From New York, and The Thing. However, the shock of Assault On Precinct 13 is what launched him into notoriety. This movie is high tension action at its best, capturing the menace and claustrophobia of a modern siege situation like no other movie has. Also, the soundtrack is fucking awesome.
Pocket Ninjas
Pocket Ninjas is regarded as one of Robert Z'Dar's most terrible movies, and that is saying a lot for a guy who made an impressive career exclusively out of being in shit movies. I haven't seen it, but I am expecting something nearly unwatchable if the IMDb rating of 1.5 is to be believed.
Jack Brooks Monster Slayer
Jack Brooks Monster Slayer is a horror comedy that I know nothing about, but apparently Robert Englund shows up in it at some point. I could see this going in a lot of different directions in regards to quality, but I figured that it was worth the gamble.

Franchise Players
Why These Partners in Marriage Became Partners in Business
Image credit: Synergy HomeCare
Carly Okyle
Assistant Editor, Contributed Content
Franchise Players is Entrepreneur's Q&A interview column that puts the spotlight on franchisees. If you're a franchisee with advice and tips to share, email ktaylor@entrepreneur.com.
Rob and Melissa Dunn worked well as a team in marriage, and after an adjustment period, they've figured out how to work together in business as well. Appropriate to their spirit of teamwork, the franchise they joined is called SYNERGY HomeCare. Read on to learn how they got started and the advice they have for future franchisees.
Name: Rob and Melissa Dunn
Franchise owned: SYNERGY HomeCare Yuma
How long have you owned a franchise?
We have been a SYNERGY HomeCare franchise partner for two years.
Related: You Can't Be Afraid to Make the Jump to Become a Franchisee
Why franchising?
We chose franchising because we wanted to join a company with a proven business model. We didn't have a background in the non-medical home care field so teaming with SYNERGY HomeCare as a franchisor helped minimize the learning curve. Because we chose an industry leader, we were able to open the doors of a new business with years of experience to back us up. We didn't have to figure things out on the fly. Support, systems and expertise are certainly the perks of buying a franchise.
What were you doing before you became a franchise owner?
My wife, Melissa, was in property management and real estate while I was a general manager in the automotive retail industry.
Why did you choose this particular franchise?
The growth projections regarding the demand for in-home care are incredible. Once we knew what we wanted to do and where we wanted to do it, we had to decide which in-home care company would be the best fit. The name SYNERGY HomeCare kept popping up in various publications and websites. More interesting to us were the high marks the company was scoring in "Franchisee Satisfaction". We felt if the franchisees were happy and saying good things, the franchisor must be doing something right. Once we met the team from SYNERGY HomeCare, we decided to seal the deal.
How much would you estimate you spent before you were officially open for business?
Franchise Fee: $39,500
Grand Opening: $1000
Office Furniture etc: $2500
Insurance: $2000
Computer Hardware and Software: $5000
Training in Gilbert, AZ: $750
Licenses & Fees: $190
Accountant Setup: $990
Related: This 21 Year Old Took Over Her Mother's Franchise to Honor Her Memory
Where did you get most of your advice/do most of your research?
We did most of our research on the internet. We also spoke with other Franchise Partners in the SYNERGY HomeCare network as well as the Franchise Sales and Support Center. No amount of training replaces hands-on experience but it's great to have a large number of successful people that do exactly what we do to help navigate when something unexpected comes up.
What were the most unexpected challenges of opening your franchise?
The most unexpected challenge was working with a spouse. The dynamic of a husband and wife suddenly becoming business partners was something we had to work through at first. After two years of working together, we've figured out most of the nuances of being life partners and business partners.
What advice do you have for individuals who want to own their own franchise?
It's cliche but you get out of it what you put into it. If you are looking for a place to put your money where you don't have to do much, then franchising may not be for you. If you're committed to working the business from the start, it's a terrific template for success. Our first two years in business we've worked hard IN our business. In our third year we're now able to step back a bit and work ON our business.
What's next for you and your business?
The plan is to expand into additional territories and replicate the success we've had here in Yuma, Arizona.

The timing chain tensioner gasket area can develop an engine oil leak. Leaking oil could contact a hot engine surface, increasing the risk of a fire.

Perils of bad stale air in washrooms- What would you do if you encountered a bad smelling washroom? Most people will just walk away unless the 'business' to do is really very urgent. And in many cases, users will continue to walk until they find another decent washroom to use. Now, think about this- if you are in a retailing business and most of your washrooms all smell bad, there will be a chance you lose footfall in your business when customers walk away to the next-door neighboring mall.
One of the questions asked in an air care survey - Do you think the smell of a washroom reflects its level of hygiene/cleanliness?
Answer: Over 80% of people associate bad washroom smells with poor hygiene.
Bad smells are often associated with poor hygiene because generally for many people, bad smells have got to do with poor housekeep, high levels of germs and bacteria, which then results in forming the perception of low hygiene level. If your business is perceived to have poor hygiene, this impacts your brand image and value negatively especially if you are in a food & beverage business. This then leads to the next question in the air care survey.
Question: How does a strong smell/odour affect the perception of the brand?
Answer: 80% of people leave with a bad perception of a business with unpleasant washroom smells. Perception, which is the way something is regarded or being understood is usually the first impression someone makes about a person, a thing or even a brand name. If your brand name comes off with a bad perception due to bad smells in the washroom, this could mean detrimental for you in the long term!
What are the reasons for bad stale air in washrooms and where did that smell come from?
Let us explore various factors contributing to bad stale air in washrooms.
Poor designs in washrooms potentially lead to poor airflow within the toilet cubicles. Without a good airflow, this results in poor ventilation which then traps bad air inside without fresh air from the outside coming in. Tip: Install an exhaust fan to help improve airflow.
Stale air smells like a combination of garbage, human waste and oh wait… drain odour! Bad smells which smell like drains could come from choked pipes and drains in the washroom. This is a common cause and should it be investigated to be the root of the problem for the bad stale air, an expert in drainage management would help you solve these issues.
Education on good washroom behavior should be encouraged in public. Responsible acts such as cleaning up in the cubicle ready for the next user and even small actions like covering the toilet bowl lid before flushing could help to reduce the spread of flu germs in the toilet. You can start to promote responsible washroom usage and healthy behavior with these useful labels here.
Professional washroom amenities are important because they serve the needs of users such as; in a female washroom, a feminine hygiene unit is required to dispose of sanitary napkins discreetly and hygienically. When a bin is not provided for, tendency for users to litter is very high. And with littering occurring everywhere, it is difficult to maintain cleanliness and ultimately this leads to bad smells.
Placing a floor mat may seem like a simple and routinized task, yet the underlying benefits of having a good floor mat at the right location are positively identified. When a floor mat at the washing sink area traps most of the water from washing activities, the floor is kept dry and clean and thus minimize dirt and grit stepped all over. A clean floor reduces chance for bacteria and germs to grow, thus limiting bad smells occurring from such.
While there are many more ways to upkeep a washroom, it could get challenging for many business owners. Digitalization and innovations in modern days are able to help you manage washroom challenges more effectively and easily. Besides being able to help you avert bad stale air for washrooms in your business, a hygiene expert is able to recommend suitably meeting the needs and overcoming washroom challenges professionally.

A New 'Star Wars' Movie Is In Development
Maybe the Star Wars film franchise isn't taking such a long break after all.
While Disney CEO Bob Iger has talked about the series going on "hiatus" following last winter's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, it appears that there are behind-the-scenes developments of new Star Wars movies even as we speak. The Hollywood Reporter says they've learned about one such film, which would be directed by J.D. Dillard:
A new Star Wars project is in the works: J.D. Dillard, best known for writing and directing the sci-fi thriller Sleight, and Matt Owens, a writer on Marvel shows Luke Cage and Agents of SHIELD, have been tapped to develop it. But insiders say it is undecided whether the project will be for the big screen or for the highly prioritized streaming platform.
Sleight premiered at Sundance in 2016 and then opened in theaters in 2017 to positive reviews; it followed a street magician played by Jacob Latimore. Dillard's follow-up, the horror movie Sweetheart, got a small release last year following a premiere at Sundance 2019. So a Star Wars movie — whether it was a theatrical one, or something for Disney+ — would be a massive step up in terms of profile and budget. THR currently has zero details about the project's "plot details, character details and setting details."
Officially, the next Star Wars movie is currently scheduled to open in theaters on December 16, 2022. Whether this project — or any Star Wars project — is released at that time remains to be seen.

Ontario Teachers' finding Camelot growth hard to come by
Three and a half years back, the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan acquired Camelot Group, the entity that owned the exclusive licence to operate the National Lottery in the United Kingdom
Philip Sears/Reuters
Barry Critchley
Three and a half years back, the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan acquired Camelot Group, the entity that owned the exclusive licence to operate the National Lottery in the United Kingdom.
The idea, that came with a £389-million entry cost and a 14-year license, was to grow the business. The fund's Long-Term Equities department, the division where the investment was held, viewed lotteries as having "steady cash flow and growth potential over a long-term horizon."
But based on two recent developments, things haven't worked out as planned.
• In December 2013, Tom Corbett, Governor of Pennsylvania, abandoned his attempt to outsource the management of the state's lottery to Camelot. Corbett wanted "to assure a more predictable and growing revenue source for Older Pennsylvanians and to keep up with the anticipated demand for our growing senior population." That abandonment came 13 months after Camelot was named as "the selected vendor and awarded the contract."
The two parties spent more than one year in negotiations trying to determine how Camelot could realize its promise to assure "at least US$34.6-billion in profit — an increase of up to $5-billion … throughout the life of the contract." Those amounts (when converted to annual profits) were significantly higher than what was being generated.
Corbett noted that some of Camelot's plans, such as introducing new games, "was later challenged by the Attorney General, prompting several extensions of the bid."
• Last October, a consortium of Camelot, An Post (the entity that has run the Irish Lottery for the past 26 years) and its pension fund, was named as the "preferred applicant," to run the Irish Lottery. The consortium bid €405-million for the right to manage the operation for the next 20 years. The consortium had "met the essential requirements and submitted the highest licence-fee proposal," said the government.
Indeed, according to reports at the time there were concerns the consortium had bid too much given the need to make an adequate return against the commitment to pay out 65% of the "gross gaming revenues" to the government. (One press report ballparked the over-payment was in the order of 50%.)
Anyway, the plan was for the winning bidder to fund the purchase price in two equal installments: the first when the deal was signed, expected before the end of last year, and the second in October 2014.
Shortly after that announcement, the government received a barrage of criticism ranging from concerns about a possible rise in ticket prices, about the greater focus on online gaming, about potential job losses, about potential cutbacks in prizes and about potential reductions in the fees received by the ticket sellers. "There is real concern in the retail sector that the retail agents and players will ultimately pay the price to fund the purchase of the licence," said one letter published in the Irish Times.
Anyway, according to a recent report in the same paper the deadline passed with nothing being signed. "Union problems" specifically the need to hold a ballot of the workers regarding the terms of their transfer to the new company, were behind the delay. The government believes the hold-up will be temporary.
Teachers said it couldn't comment "while the final terms of the licence are still being finalized."

Deptford Generating Station
1889. London Electric Supply Corporation, Deptford Station.
Remarkably, Manchester's Museum of Science and Industry recovered and utilised a pair of the generating station's cast iron columns
Detail of columns
1889. 30th March.
1895. Compound engines by Plenty and Son.
1927. Extensions to the Deptford Power Station.
1887 Designed by Sebastian Ziani de Ferranti for the London Electric Supply Corporation, located to the west of Deptford Creek on a site once used by the East India Company. The scale of construction was unprecedented; the design pioneered the use of high voltage (10kV) AC current; capacity was 800kW.
The station was intended to supply central London on a large scale but the need to lay cables across the streets of numerous local authorities provoked a Board of Trade Inquiry which also highlighted concerns about the wisdom of concentrating so much generating capacity at a single site.
1889 A steam pipe accident stimulated the engineer-in-chief, S. Z. de Ferranti, to develop the idea of a multiple pipe to avoid the use of single brazed copper pipes, on which he secured patent rights[1].
1891 Station opened but the company lost customers due to early teething troubles and the station was opened on a smaller scale than envisaged. However it was still the world's largest power station at the time.
1957 The original building, known as Deptford East, remained in use until 1957.
Two of the generating station's large cast iron columns were saved for preservation by Ferranti and stored at their Hollinwood works. When Ferranti vacated the works, they donated the columns to Manchester's Museum of Science and Industry (see photos). These two columns now reach up only as far as where the rails for the overhead crane would have been fixed, and there would have been an even higher section supporting the roof. [2]

Very glad to have you with us Jeremy. Congratulations on your racing career.
Agreed. That's why, in my tweet, I specifically used the word 'finished'. I like to get my stats spot on.
I didn't have time for that - I just had to get it tweeted first.
I know. He'll be devo.
Yesterday's Amstel Gold Race was the first time that Alejandro Valverde has finished outside the top 50 of any race, and any stage of any race, since 7th May, 2016.
And before all the trolls start, I'm just talking about how good that finish was.

Q: How do I code an ant Task that takes an arbitrary Mapper? Generally speaking, any ant task which accepts a <mapper> will also accept several tags designating particular mappers: <identitymapper>, <regexmapper>, etc.
But if you're writing your own task, you are supposed to supply a method for each possible tag that may exist inside your task.  You don't want to add separate addConfiguredMapper(), addConfiguredIdentityMapper(), addConfiguredRegexMapper(), etc. methods.  How do you easily set up a custom ant Task to take any arbitrary Mapper, specified by either the general <mapper> tag or the tag for each particular instance?

A: These are the two methods you will need to supply:
public Mapper createMapper() throws BuildException;
public void add(FileNameMapper fileNameMapper);

Take a look at the Copy task in the ant source distribution to see how these are implemented.
