Game summaries

Michigan

On October 15, 1921, the Aggies lost to Michigan by a 30–0 score. The game was played at Ferry Field before a crowd of 18,000 spectators. Michigan halfback Harry Kipke, who would later coach the Aggies in 1928, scored three touchdowns, including one on a punt return from midfield, and kicked nine punts for an average of better than 42 yards. Michigan's passing games was called "nothing short of miserable" as five of the Wolverines' passes were intercepted and only one was completed. Michigan's defense held the Aggies to 57 yards of total offense and two first downs (one of which was achieved by an offside penalty against Michigan). The game was played in 15-minute quarters at Ferry Field in Ann Arbor.

Jenkintown football too much for Morrisville
Jean-Paul Lautenschlager, correspondent
MORRISVILLE — Joe Jacobs had high hopes for Friday night's game.
The four-year Morrisville football starter wanted a win for his final game under the lights at Robert Morris Field.
Unfortunately for Jacobs and the Bulldogs, senior night in Morrisville ended with an all to familiar result. Jenkintown shut out the Bulldogs, 35-0, in the Bicentennial Athletic League contest.
"Coming out here, we didn't get what we wanted, but we played a hard game and we fought for each other," said Jacobs, a senior offensive and defensive lineman who was playing with a broken right hand. "It's nice being able to play with my teammates. We're a family. We all love each other."
Trailing 7-0 after the first quarter, the Bulldogs gained momentum after two Jenkintown miscues. Morrisville senior Domierre White recovered a fumble and, a few plays later, junior Zeek Kershaw intercepted a Jenkintown pass.
The Bulldogs started their fifth offensive series with 8 minutes to play before halftime. With good field position, Morrisville drove 34 yards to the 3-yard line. On first-and-goal, there was confusion in the Bulldogs' backfield, and the Drakes recovered the fumble.
"That drive was one of our better drives of the season, let alone this game," said Bulldogs coach Derrick Savage. "The offensive line got off the ball."
The next play, Jenkintown running back Steven Charlemagne broke through the line for a 97-yard touchdown, pushing the lead to 14-0 and breaking the spirit of the Bulldogs.
"We only had 10 on the field. He hit the one gap that we didn't have covered," a disappointed Jacobs said.
"I saw it as they were snapping the ball," Savage said. "That is the game right there."
Charlemagne intercepted a Felix Feliciano pass before halftime and returned it for a touchdown. Jenkintown led 21-0. Charlemagne finished with 158 yards rushing and four touchdowns.
The Drakes (6-2 overall, 4-2 BAL) are the top team in the three-team Class A power rankings. The top two advance to the district final. The matchups will be set during Sunday's District One seeding meeting.
Offensively, the Bulldogs (2-7, 1-5 BAL) were led by Feliciano. He threw for 42 yards and completed six of 16 passes. Kershaw rushed for 31 yards.
Morrisville travels to Wilmington Friends School next week and hosts Bristol on Thanksgiving Day.
"We'll keep playing and see what happens," Jacobs said.

The tragedy and the miracle
Posted in Bumpboobs, Life, Travel, Uncategorized by Catherine Brunelle
Two weeks ago around this time Zsolt and I were in New York visiting the September 11th memorial site. It's an open-space with construction happening all around and tourists & New Yorkers dispersed between the two fountains where the towers once stood. It's surreal in a way; I remember my first year of university and getting ready to go to class when I heard something on the radio about a plane crashing into a building in New York City. It didn't sound right, it had to be a bad joke. I left the house. Rode the bus. Went to class. Sat in class. Found out it was real. Came home. Watched what happened over and over in replay.
Horrible. It's hard to be reminded that life serves tragedies just as equally as it serves miracles.
The fountains that pour down in the memorial park evoke sadness. There's such a sense of sadness. With the names of those who died rimming the fountain, the water slides away and tumbles downwards into the black pool, then again it falls into the ground, out of sight. It's about falling . . . falling and remembering, falling and weeping . . . it's about the lives that were pulled down into we-don't-know-where. I've never seen a memorial that was so effective in evoking a remembrance of loss. Yet at the same time it's beautiful to watch the water fall, to feel the spray lifted by the wind, to trace your fingers over the names.
I'm sorry for what happened on September 11th. I'm sorry for the people in Syria who are getting massacred. I'm sorry for people who are torn from their families. I'm sorry for people who get sick before they're ready. I'm really just sorry for all of these hardships that can make life seem unbearable.
And I'm thankful for the compassion people can show to one another; thankful for their courage to be resilient against a tyrant; thankful for the bonds we form with total strangers; thankful for a smile given on the street; thankful for the moment that is peaceful, even if the world feels like it's crumbling.
Anyhow. I meant to write about what's been going on since we've gotten back from Europe . . . but then I look at the calendar and it's September 11th, and this is a day that cannot be forgotten. I'm sure there are many days that cannot be forgotten for many people – both tragedies and miracles alike.
Today I'm thinking about those who know what it is to be helpless, and I'm hoping for as many as possible, they can find some peace despite the chaos.

3 thoughts on "The tragedy and the miracle"
My strongest memory of September 11, 2001 was sitting next to a father and daughter team who had just flown into Canada that morning to visit our office. Their office was in one of the towers. As many of us watched the events unfold on TV in shocked silence, the daughter with concern on her face whispered to her father, "Our visit here this morning has saved our lives." I could feel and hear in her voice that she felt their last-minute visit to our office was a miracle. I could also see the concern on the father's and daughter's faces for their staff – how they were trying to stoically hold back their tears and hope that their staff made it out unharmed.
I had inadvertently shared a personal moment with two people who were directly affected by the tragedy and I always think of them every September 11.
Jan Baird Hasak
Thank you for the tribute to all those fallen in the 9-11 tragedy. I do look forward to reading about your trip to Europe, but believe you were incredibly respectful to remember this day beyond all else. xox

Q: Expression parsing - Possible to get array of property names as string? Is it possible to complete this method? Is it possible in the latest version of C#? Thinking about this as a DSL to configure a system for watching for certain property changes on certain objects.
List<string> list = GetProps<AccountOwner>(x => new object[] {x.AccountOwnerName, x.AccountOwnerNumber});
// would return "AccountOwnerName" and "AccountOwnerNumber"

public List<string> GetProps<T>(Expression<Func<T, object[]>> exp)
{
    // code here
}

A: In C# 6, you'd use:
List<string> list = new List<string>
{
    nameof(AccountOwner.AccountOwnerName),
    nameof(AccountOwner.AccountOwnerNumber)
};

Before that, you could certainly break the expression tree apart - the easiest way of working out how is probably to either use an expression tree visualizer, or use the code you've got and put a break point in the method (just make it return null for now) and examine the expression tree in the debugger. I'm sure it won't be very complicated - just a bit more than normal due to the array.
You could possibly simplify it using an anonymous type, if you use:
List<string> list = Properties<AccountOwner>.GetNames(x => new {x.AccountOwnerName, x.AccountOwnerNumber});

Then you could have:
public static class Properties<TSource>
{
    public static List<string> GetNames<TResult>(Func<TSource, TResult> ignored)
    {
        // Use normal reflection to get the properties
    }
}

If you don't care about the ordering, you could just use
return typeof(TResult).GetProperties().Select(p => p.Name).ToList();

If you do care about the ordering, you'd need to look at the names the C# compiler gives to the constructor parameters instead - it's a bit ugly. Note that we don't need an expression tree though - we only need the property names from the anonymous type. (An expression tree would work just as well, admittedly.)

A: Without c# 6 and nameof, you could get a property name from a expression tree like:
using System.Linq.Expressions;
//...
static string GetNameOf<T>(Expression<Func<T>> property)
{
  return (property.Body as MemberExpression).Member.Name;
}

Using it like:
GetNameOf(() => myObject.Property);

Not directly usable for an array of objects, but you could make an overload to take an array of expressions... something like:
static string[] GetNameOf(IEnumerable<Expression<Func<object>>> properties)
{
  return properties.Select(GetNameOf).ToArray();
}

And use it like
GetNameOf(
     new Expression<Func<object>>[]
     {
       () => x.AccountOwnerName,
       () => x.AccountOwnerNumber
     }
);

Demonstrating fiddle: https://dotnetfiddle.net/GsV96t
Update
If you go this route, the original GetNameOf for a single property won't work for value types (since they get boxed to object in the Expression and now the expression uses Convert internally). This is easily solvable by changing the code to something like:
static string GetNameOf<T>(Expression<Func<T>> property)
{
  var unary = property.Body as UnaryExpression;
  if (unary != null)
    return (unary.Operand as MemberExpression).Member.Name;
  return (property.Body as MemberExpression).Member.Name;
}

Updated fiddle: https://dotnetfiddle.net/ToXRuu
Note: in this updated fiddle I've also updated the overloaded method to return a List instead of an array, since that's what was on your original code

and then POST in the details – the nature of the method ("POST") tells you it's an update. Alternative we could send in a message with DELETE method if we wanted to delete user 5 instead. (In practice, there will be a slight hack to do this, involving a hidden field, because most browsers can only upload POST and GET).


If you'd like to play competitive golf over the winter, as well as the Winter Challenge pairs competition, we have the Pimms Cup.
The Pimms Cup is a Men's Stableford Competition with a full handicap allowance. There are five weekends, the first of which was the weekend of 27th October and the last of which is the weekend of 23rd February. Your best three scores count from the five rounds, so you don't have to play in all five (tho obviously the more rounds you play the better chance of getting three good scores).
This is a scoring system where, rather than counting the total number of strokes taken, you score points based on your score against Par at each hole. Based on your net score (ie: your score with your handicap) each player scores one point for a net Bogey, two points for a Par, three points for a Birdie, four points for an Eagle and five points for an Albatross. Clearly the aim is to get as many points as possible.
You'll need a playing partner to mark your card and then just sign up in The Golf Reception when you play your first round, and then pay your entry fee each time you play. You can see which weekends are Pimms Cup weekends in the first tee calendar or in your printed diary.
If you have any questions simply speak to Philip in the office, or Darren or Jon in your Golf Reception and they'll do their best to help. Call 01865 554924.


Place lentils, onion and vegetable broth in a 3-4 quart pot. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook until lentils start to soften, about 15-20 minutes. Add the diced squash, coconut milk, lemongrass and ginger essential oil, garlic, and kaffir lime leaves. Season well with salt, to taste. Bring back to a low simmer and cook until the lentils have completely broken down and squash is tender. Taste and adjust any seasonings as desired. Add a pinch of sugar.

Exploring the beauty of pure mathematics in novel ways
By Alex Davies, Pushmeet Kohli, Demis Hassabis/DeepMind.Com
More than a century ago, Srinivasa Ramanujan shocked the mathematical world with his extraordinary ability to see remarkable patterns in numbers that no one else could see. The self-taught mathematician from India described his insights as deeply intuitive and spiritual, and patterns often came to him in vivid dreams. These observations captured the tremendous beauty and sheer possibility of the abstract world of pure mathematics. In recent years, we have begun to see AI make breakthroughs in areas involving deep human intuition, and more recently on some of the hardest problems across the sciences, yet until now, the latest AI techniques have not assisted in significant results in pure maths research.
As part of DeepMind's mission to solve intelligence, we explored the potential of machine learning (ML) to recognize mathematical structures and patterns, and help guide mathematicians toward discoveries they may otherwise never have found — demonstrating for the first time that AI can help at the forefront of pure mathematics.
Our research paper, published today in the journal Nature, details our collaboration with top mathematicians to apply AI toward discovering new insights in two areas of pure mathematics: topology and representation theory. With Professor Geordie Williamson at the University of Sydney, we discovered a new formula for a conjecture about permutations that has remained unsolved for decades. With Professor Marc Lackenby and Professor András Juhász at the University of Oxford, we have discovered an unexpected connection between different areas of mathematics by studying the structure of knots. These are the first significant mathematical discoveries made with machine learning, according to the top mathematicians who reviewed the work. We're also releasing full companion papers on arXiv for each result that will be submitted to appropriate mathematical journals (permutations paper; knots paper). Through these examples, we propose a model for how these tools could be used by other mathematicians to achieve new results.
For many years, computers have been used by mathematicians to generate data to help in the search for patterns. Known as experimental mathematics, this kind of research has resulted in well-known conjectures, such as the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture — one of six Millennium Prize Problems, the most well-known open problems in mathematics (with a US$1 million prize attached to each). While this approach has been successful and is fairly common, the identification and discovery of patterns from this data has still relied mainly on mathematicians.
Finding patterns has become even more important in pure maths because it's now possible to generate more data than any mathematician can reasonably expect to study in a lifetime. Some objects of interest — such as those with thousands of dimensions — can also simply be too unfathomable to reason about directly. With these constraints in mind, we believed that AI would be capable of augmenting mathematicians' insights in entirely new ways.
Our results suggest that ML can complement maths research to guide intuition about a problem by detecting the existence of hypothesised patterns with supervised learning and giving insight into these patterns with attribution techniques from machine learning:
With Professor Williamson, we used AI to help discover a new approach to a long-standing conjecture in representation theory. Defying progress for nearly 40 years, the combinatorial invariance conjecture states that a relationship should exist between certain directed graphs and polynomials. Using ML techniques, we were able to gain confidence that such a relationship does indeed exist and to identify that it might be related to structures known as broken dihedral intervals and extremal reflections. With this knowledge, Professor Williamson was able to conjecture a surprising and beautiful algorithm that would solve the combinatorial invariance conjecture. We have computationally verified the new algorithm across more than 3 million examples.
With Professor Lackenby and Professor Juhász, we explored knots – one of the fundamental objects of study in topology. Knots not only tell us about the many ways a rope can be tangled but also have surprising connections with quantum field theory and non-Euclidean geometry. Algebra, geometry, and quantum theory all share unique perspectives on these objects and a long standing mystery is how these different branches relate: for example, what does the geometry of the knot tell us about the algebra? We trained an ML model to discover such a pattern and surprisingly, this revealed that a particular algebraic quantity — the signature — was directly related to the geometry of the knot, which was not previously known or suggested by existing theory. By using attribution techniques from machine learning, we guided Professor Lackenby to discover a new quantity, which we call the natural slope, that hints at an important aspect of structure overlooked until now. Together we were then able to prove the exact nature of the relationship, establishing some of the first connections between these different branches of mathematics.

Speaking is an undeniably great way to grow your business. You will quickly position yourself to stand out in the market and can generate a rush of hot leads, and 3 to 30 new clients right there in the room (no tech and no follow necessary).
But when most people think of "Speaking" they tend to think of inspirational keynotes.
Last I checked, the National Speakers Association said the average keynote pays about $3-$5k. You go, give your talk, you leave with a check. Done.
My clients however, want to do more than just inspire people, they want to help transform them! They are coaches, consultants, authors and experts with a big message to share and a desire to have a big impact on their clients' lives. Maybe you can relate?
The talk you'll deliver is more like a mini-workshop. It informs and entertains everyone, and at the end, you give people the opportunity to step into deeper training. I want you leaving your talk not just with compliments, but with leads, and clients, and cash in hand.
My client Mary just spoke for free locally, and generated $20,000.00.
Jen walked away with $16,000.00 in recurring monthly income, from her first talk ever.
And my own talks have generated $30,000.00, $40,000.00 yes even $50,000.00.
How will you use your talk to grow your business?
Making an entry-level offer at the end of your talk is perfect (and exactly what I suggest you do) because its a more entry-level investment, (generally $300-$1000). Its a great next step for audience members.
You don't want to ask for a huge commitment of time or money, after only speaking for 30-min to an hour with people.
I've generated some of my BIGGEST pay days, making $20,000.00 even 30,000.00 from a talk with an entry-level offer of $550.
Take the recordings of your weekly series (above) and have them transcribed!
Put it all together in a binder or in a membership site, and you now have a Home Study Course that you can sell any time without having to deliver it live.
Workshops are fun to lead & to attend.
They give you BIG IMPACT & a deep connection with your audience, which is hard to create in today's mostly online world.
A workshop ticket is a great entry level offer, and at the workshop itself you've earn enough trust to offer your higher ticket products, services, or coaching.
Big multi-day, multi- speaker live events aren't the place to start for most people. Though I've had clients leap into them and generate six figures!
But for those of you with more experience, remember that they best way to fill your live event IS with speaking.
People who attend events, attend events! (make sense?) So speaking is the best way to find warm leads and fill your room.
Plus, since they already met you in person at your talk, their interest in you and your program will be deeper from the get-go when you see them again at your event.
My first 3-day event generated $250,000.00 and we were able to grow it from there, as our strategy improved.
(Want to learn how to lead profitable small one-day workshop or multi day live events? Click here to see Rock Your Workshop.
Can't make an offer at the end of your talk?
No problem. Give everyone the opportunity to sign up for a free webinar training!
You'll get additional time to grow your connection with the group, they'll get additional training, and THEN you can easily make your offer on the webinar.
Btw you can hope on an upcoming Rock Your Talk training here.
Each slide leads the way for you, I'll the way through from your open, to the main content, all the way through every step of the offer.
All you do is customize and go Rock Your Talk! Super easy.
Are you great at selling one on one? If you are, your offer at the end of your talk might simply be to have people sign up for a strategy session or consultation with you.
This is a great strategy particularly if you're offering more high ticket product or service.
My client Mary booked free talks around town, and used this exact strategy to generate her first $70,000 month!
Looking for partners to promote your product or program?
Looking for sponsors for your upcoming live event?
Give a rockin talk that then invites people to take the next step and PARTNER with you!
It's another great way to grow your business.
Sign up for the next Rock Your Talk online class here. It's free, and an easy way to see if this is for you.

British Grand Prix
June 11, 2006 | by David
Kathryn got me a great present for my thirtieth birthday; tickets to the British Formula One Grand Prix. This was brilliantly timed for the week after my exams so Andrew and I took Friday off and spent three days at Silverstone
It was a fantastic weekend. We had great tickets in the Club Silverstone grand stand at Becketts where we had a great view as the cars swept through the high speed S's. The weather was really warm so we were very glad to be in the cool, breezy shade of the covered grand stand.
Directly behind Club Silverstone was the BMW Sauber Pit Lane Park. This was a little complex with stands about all the different aspects of the team. But the best bit was a tiny little track where a Formula BMW and a Formula 1 are put through their paces. They had to hose the track down to try to cool it because there was so much grip it was hard to get the wheels spinning. The heat also meant the cars could only be run for about 30 seconds or else they would overheat. The noise from a 750BHP V8 running at 19,000RPM just a few feet away was awesome.
Out on the track the GP2 races proved exciting as did the Historic Sports Car challenge which was comprised of about forty glorious old sports cars of the 60's and 70's.
The race itself was also great with Kimi starting well but seeming to lose pace after being jumped by Michael Schumacher during a pit stop.
I took about two hundred photos and I've put some of them in the gallery.
All in it was a top weekend!

Psaki: Foreigners Entering The U.S. Must Prove Vaccination, Except Illegal Aliens
By: Jordan Boyd
Psaki admitted that illegal aliens pouring across the border are not subject to the same COVID-19 restrictions as foreign travelers coming into the states.
Visit on Twitter @jordanboydtx
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki admitted on Monday that illegal aliens pouring across the southern U.S. border are not subject to the same COVID-19 restrictions as foreign travelers coming into the states.
"Is somebody asking the foreign nationals who are walking into Del Rio, Texas and setting up camps on this side of the border for proof of vaccination, or a native COVID test?" Fox News's Peter Doocy asked. "If somebody walks into the country, right across the river, does somebody asked them to see their vaccination card?"
Psaki claimed that people who cross the border are "assessed" for COVID-19 and then supposed to be quarantined if they appear to be positive for the virus.
"They're not intending to stay here for a lengthy period of time. I don't think it's the same thing," Psaki said. "It's not the same thing."
"But they are here!" Doocy contested. "What's the difference?"

Jen Psaki again struggles to explain why migrants crossing the border don't have to prove vaccination while foreign travelers to the U.S. do.
"It's not the same thing. … They're not intending to stay here for an extended period of time."

The press secretary then claimed that the administration is using Title 42 and other policies to expel migrants because they don't want a COVID outbreak from the large uptick in aliens coming into the U.S.
Doocy topped off his questions about the border by asking why Vice President Kamala Harris, who was tapped by President Joe Biden to address the "root causes" of the administration's border crisis, hadn't spoken on the new influx yet.
"She has been addressing the root causes of migration by working with countries in the region to ensure they have the assistance they need to reduce the number of people who are coming and trying to make those journeys across the border. We've actually seen some reductions in some of those numbers," Psaki said, implying that Harris had something to do with those reductions. "That doesn't change the fact that this is a very challenging situation in Del Rio."
While the administration panders to illegal aliens pouring across the southern border, adult foreign nationals traveling to the U.S. will be required to be fully vaccinated beginning in November.
Jen Psaki says the Biden administration will be "requiring that adult foreign nationals traveling to the United States be fully vaccinated."

By Jeff LoweApril 15, 2014Bus Accidents
After a bus accident, passengers and other motorists can pursue a claim for damages if they were harmed in the collision. Bus accidents in Southern Illinois raise many complicated legal issues and it is important to speak with an experienced attorney after a crash involving a bus.
Who is to Blame for Bus Accidents in Southern Illinois?
Bus accidents can take place involving any type of bus transportation including school buses, tour buses and public transportation buses. Passengers and other motorists on the road may all be harmed by the collision. Passengers always have a third party to blame because they are never responsible for causing the accident. When another driver, a pedestrian, a motorcyclist or a bicyclist is involved in an accident, it is essential to determine who caused the wreck.
If the bus driver was responsible for the accident, then both the passengers and others on the road can all pursue claims against the driver. However, the driver may not have as much insurance coverage or as much money as the company that employs him.
The company should be held legally liable for the negligent actions of the driver on-the-job. A bus company can also be held legally responsible for its own negligence. For example, a company that was careless in hiring and didn't properly screen its drivers can become liable for causing the accident by failing to live up to industry safety standards and best practices.
Since multiple individuals and companies could potentially be held liable, it is essential to speak with an attorney when pursuing a bus accident claim. A Southern Illinois bus accident lawyer can help you to decide who the appropriate defendants are to ensure you recover the maximum possible compensation for your losses. Your compensation after the bus accident should be enough money to cover medical bills, pain and suffering, emotional distress, or wrongful death damages if your loved one was killed in the collision.
Vicarious Liability Issues
Determining which defendants to pursue a claim against is just one factor that makes bus accident cases complicated. Often, these types of accidents involve public transportation vehicles or public school buses. This raises issues of sovereign immunity.
Sovereign immunity rules protect government workers and government agencies from some types of lawsuits. While it is still possible to pursue a claim against a government entity, special procedures apply and the case becomes much more complicated. If your bus accident involved any type of public transportation or public vehicle, it is imperative you are represented by a legal professional with experience suing the government.
Southern Illinois personal injury lawyers Carey, Danis & Lowe represent victims of bus accidents. Contact our Southern Illinois bus accident lawyers today at (877) 678-3400 to schedule a free consultation.

Q: How to temporarily disable a service running as Local System? I am using Windows 7 and want to temporarily shutdown a service running as Local System. I am looking for a way to do it without having to reboot into Safe Mode but had no luck (even searching Google) so far.
I assume this can be done, because an Administrator account was used to create that service, and therefore should be able to disable it. I hope someone who is more familiar with Windows access control system will have the answer.

A: Hit your windows key and then type services.msc, pause for a moment for the search to catch up and press enter.  This will (eventually: it can be slow) open a window that will let you browse services.  Find the one you want, right click on it, and if it's running you should see an option to stop it.

Sherkin gears up to host Open Ear Festival
Vicky Langan is responsible for Programming, Artistic Development and Special Projects for the Open Ear Festival
Vicky Langan, responsible for Programming, Artist Development and Special Projects for Sherkin's annual Open Ear Festival.
I'm a Cork-based multidisciplinary artist, primarily working with sound. I make films with Maximilian Le Cain and Experimental Film Society. I'm part of the team behind a unique festival of Irish experimental and electronic music on Sherkin Island called Open Ear.
I occasionally DJ weird music at O'Sho on Barrack Street (and further afield). You might also see me helping out at music events like Live at St Luke's, It Takes A Village and Quarter Block Party.
Where were you born?
I was born in Galway and grew up in Tuam and Galway city. I left the west when I was 17 and made a life for myself here in Cork.
Ballinlough, Cork. It's a lovely, peaceful area. Town, the marina, the old train line, Beaumount Quarry and the Douglas farmers' market are all a quick cycle away.
I have a husband who lectures in CIT and a daughter, aged 12, who plays camogie for Brian Dillons.
Best friend?
My husband, Dave. Aside from him, I have a small handful of very close friends in different counties/countries that I speak to every day. My two main group chats are constantly pinging with a slew of dumb internet stuff, mutual encouragement, counsel, and internet dogs.
My Finland-based friend and I mostly communicate solely by sending each other pictures of our cats or books we've recently read, found or bought.
Earliest childhood memory?
I remember the foamy, lumpy texture of the wallpaper beside my cot. My mother tells me that one morning she discovered that that same (rented accommodation) wallpaper had been picked at and peeled off in huge strips, measuring about the same height as a standing toddler and constrained to the area directly beside my cot. I denied having anything to do with it.
Person you most admire?
Virginia O'Gara from My Goodness. We are so lucky to have this woman in our community.
She is constantly inspiring — the most generous, intelligent, resourceful, kind and hilarious anarchist. Whenever I feel emotionally rudderless or like negative thought is getting the better of me, the knowledge that truly good people like her exist inspires me to rearrange my thoughts and grow a little.
Who would you like to see as
Minister for Finance and why?
I'm not an economist, I'm not in a position to nominate anyone and the current housing crisis is far too serious for me or anyone else to come up with a jokey answer here. The situation in this country is appalling and with a fifth (or is it a quarter?) of TDs in Dáil Éireann acting as landlords, I believe that the current government is ideologically opposed to doing what needs to be done to protect even more people from becoming homeless. I have personally stood in the office of Threshold with a lump in my throat, asking for contact details of the homeless hostel for women and children. Those with power are blind to the despair and destitution that they should be doing everything they can to prevent.
The Open Ear Festival runs May 30 to June 2
Where was your most
memorable holiday?
When I was nine, I spent a few weeks exploring the length of the Californian coast with my mother and our brilliant American cousin who lived in Santa Cruz.
I remember waking up to sunshine, the smell of eucalyptus mingling with hidden skunks in the bushes, seeing a hummingbird in the garden, my first farmers' market, learning how to recycle, watching worms pump and writhe in a wormery, climbing over and around the roots of giant sequoia trees, swimming in the pacific, seeing musclemen work out on Venice beach, watching an old woman rollerblade in a bikini, and asking my cousin to explain what the black-on-yellow silhouetted 'running family' signs meant as we got close to the Mexican border.
It was all so unlike anything I could have encountered back home in '90s Ireland and opened me up to the possibility of a looser, simpler, more thoughtful way of living.
Favourite TV programme?
My all time favourites would be Twin Peaks, The Sopranos, Deadwood and Horace and Pete. More recently, I've been recommending Succession and Enlightened to friends.
Favourite radio show?
My favourite shows and podcasts are Backlisted, In Our Time, The FFFoxy Podcast, Fae Ma Bit Tae Ur Bit and lot of programmes on WFMU and Dublin Digital Radio.
Open Ear and Dublin Digital Radio have partnered up for a series of festival-related broadcasts called Open Air. The first three (including one from myself) are archived on Mixcloud.
Your signature dish if cooking?
Keralan fish curry with lemon and mint rice. The combination of red chilies, tamarind tang and turmeric-laden neon yellow broth is pure heaven to me. It gets good feedback.
Favourite restaurant?
My Goodness and Miyazaki.
Last book you read?
Resurrection Man by Sligo-based Northern Irish writer Eoin McNamee. He is just amazing. I would love to meet him some day.
Best book you read?
Very difficult to pin one down. Here are some recent books that I loved! Die, My Love — Ariana Harwicz, Ghost Wall — Sarah Moss, Territory of Light — Yuko Tsushima, The White Book — Han Kang.
Last album/CD/download you bought?
Myself and my husband regularly order music from several European labels and distributors so we're never short of new music.
Two standouts from this year so far would be the box set reissue of Swedish text-sound composer Åke Hodell, and the Reynols box set Minecxio Emanations 1993-2018.
Favourite song?
Dorothy Carter's 1976 song Shirt of Lace. I walked into the registry office on my wedding day to it.
One person you would like to see in concert?
I regret not making it to a Leonard Cohen concert while he was still alive.
Do you have a pet?
A black cat with vampire fangs called Binsky Bungo. A close friend in the weird music underground came up with this funny expression/lyric 'Ka Bella Binsky Bungo!' back in the '70s. It means everything and nothing.
Our other cat, a tortoiseshell boss called Peggy, went missing around October and we're hoping she'll make a dramatic return any day now. She's microchipped so fingers crossed.
Your proudest moment?
I am dead proud of my kid. Whether it's overhearing her try to figure out how to play KISS's I Was Made For Loving You on her tin whistle, seeing what a good friend she is to her pals, watching the bond between her and our cat or helping her navigate this weird world on her own terms, I find endless reasons to be proud of her every day.
Spendthrift or saver?
Neither, I'm sad to admit. I've never been in a position to save any money. As a family, we are quite content with living very simply and we just about manage to make ends meet.
My husband and I are both passionate about experimental music so buying records is our only diversion in a world of scrimping and borrowing. We haven't had a holiday in over a decade and right now, more than anything else, we would love to go on a brain-dead sun holiday with no phones.
Name one thing you would
improve in your area in which you live?
Better cycling infrastructure throughout Cork city. We love cycling together as a family but it's so dangerous in the city. You can't trust the cycle lanes because they disappear, or drivers are parking in them, pushing us out into traffic.
Segregated cycle lanes and greenway expansions would be life-changing.
I love hanging out with my husband and kid, cooking with good music on, being in the company of people who make me laugh.
How would you like to be remembered?
People often pass comment on how constantly busy I am, whereas my own impression of myself is that of a lazy, procrastinating, self-sabotaging lump. My woeful memory and intense instincts means I live fully and completely for the present, which can be frustrating for my long-suffering husband when it comes to domestic paperwork, school responsibilities and appointments that need keeping.
I don't mind how I'm remembered. I've had a lot of fun, I've loved fiercely and I deeply miss friends who've passed. I've found that I draw something meaningful from the memory of their potential and energy, and that this helps me keep going. When I die, I hope that some essence of mine helps propel someone when they need it.
What else are you up to at the
I am collaborating with an American-based friend called Aaron Dilloway for Open Ear Festival on Sherkin Island. Aaron is an incredible improviser/performer who primarily works with tape loops and I'm very excited to be back working together, especially as this will be his first Irish performance. He is one of my favourite artists.
Film-wise, myself and my collaborative partner Max have another big project in development. Also, this June and July I'll be co-managing the Irish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, opening and closing the building, invigilating the artwork, speaking with visitors, etc. I'll be recording and conducting my own research during my time off and am very much looking forward to wandering the streets of Venice alone at night.
Now in its fourth year, Open Ear Festival will run from May 30 to June 2, on Sherkin Island, giving a platform to Irish artists involved in the experimental and electronic music scene. It will feature more than 50 performances from the likes of Donal Dineen, J Colleran, Gadget and the Cloud, Dublin Digital Radio and more. Full details available at www.openear.ie

With internet and computer access completely ubiquitous in the modern age, working freelance can be an excellent way to make money and do work from the comfort of your own home. For IT specialists, this can make even more sense, given that the nature of their work is online. So, here are a few ways to help create your IT freelance career.
In IT it is important that you make it clear what you can and can't do. Most of the time when you freelance you don't have the opportunity to talk through your abilities with your boss. "Potential clients HAVE to know exactly what you can do for them", says Anisa Jiménez, freelance software designer at WriteMyx and BritStudent. "You have to reassure them that they can rely on your concrete skills, not vague promises that you can complete work." If you tell a client you can code, it is very important that you actually can, to a level that goes beyond what they could possibly want from you.
Respond quickly, complete work exactly how they ask, clarify what's needed from you etc. Given that your work is based on the internet, that means that you are working in a sphere in which clients can easily review you to all of your potential future customers. No matter how difficult a client proves to be, always treat them with respect and behave as if completing work for them is your number one priority.
There are millions of people who are capable of general IT work, so finding where you fit into the whole scheme of things can be a really important part of guaranteeing yourself a constant, reliable stream of work. Gerard Deacon, a web engineer at 1day2write, says that "We're extremely fortune in the contemporary tech and IT industry that there is now such a vast selection of roles which need to be filled. Only twenty years ago, that wouldn't have been the case. Whereas now, having a very specific IT skill can be extremely valuable." Market yourself in the field you are most accomplished at and you're more likely to succeed.
When you start out in freelancing, it can sometimes seem like there are a lot of jobs, but no-one is hiring. Sometimes this can because clients looking for freelance work, without the ability to veto you in person, look to your track record to see if they can rely on you. If you don't have a track record then this can be a problem. Find a small client, take some less than ideal pay but earn yourself those first couple of positive reviews and you'll be off.
Get a website, a logo, a sign off at the bottom of your emails. It may seem like the opposite of freelance work, almost as if you're starting a company but, in reality, all of these small pieces of branding contribute to an overall image of you as a reliable and professional individual who will be a pleasure to work with. No need, to go overboard, but a bit of self-marketing can really inspire confidence in a potential client.
Without any face-to-face interaction, hiring an IT freelancer can be a bit daunting for a client. It's your job to do everything you can to ensure that you reassure your potential clients through round the clock professionalism, a good CV and concrete, deliverable skills in your niche of choice. With this recipe, you'll be earning in no time!

GLOBAL - Many groups in society, including politicians, activists, scientists, and stakeholders, are advocating significant changes to livestock production practices. These changes include modification to stocking densities, limitations on antimicrobial use, and requirements for outdoor "experiences."
Such changes may affect animal health. Simultaneously, consumers are demanding virtually risk-free food, and they think food safety should be addressed on-farm as well as during processing, without understanding the relationship between animal health and food safety.
The Council for Agricultural Science and Technology (CAST) addresses these concerns in a Commentary prepared by a 10-member task force of subject experts. To broaden the reach of this important information, CAST is publishing a Spanish language version of the Commentary. A CAST video featuring Task Force authors is available as a companion piece to the Commentary.
The Commentary looks at the pressures to change livestock rearing methods, evidence to support the direct public health impact on human illness days, and food safety and inspection service regulations. The authors use anecdotal examples, diagrams, and graphs to deliver their findings about the ways that healthy animals result in safer food.
To access the publication, the Spanish version, and the video, click here.


While users are happily exploring their new and newly upgraded search result options, we have to understand which search results can bring in some serious traffic, and what should be done to achieve it (and whether it is worth it at all).
This page is, of course, artificially compiled, but it consists of real Google results. I've identified 7 major types of results, each having subtypes.
I invite you to explore these search result types and their distinct features as well as the opportunities for SEO. Let's roll.
Museums, musicians, travel guide sites, airports, etc.
As a rule, Google returns results in carousel to non-commercial, informational queries to satisfy searcher's intent for a selection of options.
It seems that there is no direct traffic or SEO advantage that you can get from the current carousel representations. The carousel listings don't include links to sites; clicking on one of them will simply get you to a new search results page.
The Knowledge Graph panel is usually triggered by navigational, primarily branded queries — shops, books, movies, music bands, etc. The current version of the panel consists of the name of the company, a business type, a logo, a link to the company's site, a description, a list of the entity's social profiles, and a "People also search for" section.
This search result type can be very powerful in terms of traffic and brand authority — it attracts searchers' attention and serves as a strong indicator of the company's trustworthiness.
I should say outright — there is no sure way to get your brand to a Knowledge Graph panel. However, we know exactly what resources Google uses for its Graph. So if you follow the steps listed below, you have more chances to flash your panel to the world.
Google gets some info from Wikidata, a knowledge base operated by Wikimedia. It is easy to create an entry there — you just have to specify a few details about your business. It can be a great starting point if you plan to get an entry in Wikipedia. Check out a guide to Wikidata to get you started.
Wikipedia is a hard worker for the Knowledge Graph: company's descriptions and official website addresses almost always come from there. If you consider creating an article about your company for Wikipedia, you can do it yourself or hire an experienced, trusted Wikipedia editor (there are lots of white-hat companies available to choose from). Make sure to include a link to your Wikidata entry in your article, as this can boost your chances of getting the article approved.
Schema markup is a markup based on the microdata specification, which is invisible to visitors, but helps search engines to understand the page better. For your business site's homepage, it is highly recommended to use the organization type of markup. Make sure to specify your logo, contact info, social profiles, Wikidata, and Wikipedia pages — this is the information that Google will most likely pull for the Knowledge Graph. Check Google's instructions on customizing your markup elements.
If Google cannot find your official site address, or if your website does not use structured data markup, it can still display a Knowledge Graph panel for your business. However, to identify your social profiles correctly, it needs them verified by the social platforms — a blue verified badge next to the account name.
Otherwise, it can pull regional or unofficial versions of your accounts, or altogether fail to display any. Each social network has their own guidelines for getting accounts verified. Here are some great tips for verifying your profiles on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube & Google+, and Instagram.
5. Request a change from Google.
If you already have a Knowledge Graph listing, and there are some things that are not correct or need some update, you can either get in touch with Google and ask them to make changes, or you can do the editing yourself if you are an official website representative. Once the change has been made, Google will check it for accuracy and send a confirmation email to the user. There is also an indirect option of editing your Knowledge Graph result — try to optimize the sources that provide for your panel — Wikidata and Wikipedia.
Fire up SEO PowerSuite's Rank Tracker, create a project for your website if you do not have one, or open an existing project, and by going to Preferences > Rank Checking Mode, make sure that Track organic results only box is unchecked, and the Track multiple results for keyword box is checked. Once you've done this, SERP features will be tracked along with the regular organic results every time you check rankings.
When the "square academic cap" icon is grey, it means that there is a Knowledge Graph on this page for your keyword, but the result is not yours. But when it is green — you've got it!
You can also hover your mouse over your rank and click on the arrow to see what the actual SERP with this feature looks like. Plus, if your website was found on the SERP more than once, you will see the three dots in your rank, by clicking which you will summon all the results.
AdWords Ads are currently displayed in blocks either above or below the organic search results with a "Sponsored" disclaimer. They can appear across all kinds of Google result pages, for any type of queries, whenever Google believes there is a shopping match.
Easy-peasy, start an AdWords account and choose a suitable ad format.
When the "Ad" icon is grey, it means that there is an AdWords Ad on this page for your keyword, but the result is not yours. But when it is green — you've got it!
Currently, paid shopping results appear as blocks of product images and links either to the right of the organic listings or above them. This type of search results is usually displayed for queries with strong commercial intent. It shows the most crucial info of a product: a name, price, photo, and the shop you can buy this product at. This data is constantly updated. Google Shopping has rather complicated guidelines & policies that may need some meditative digesting, but it is usually cheaper than AdWords.
You will need to upload your products into Google Merchant Center and create a Shopping campaign in Google AdWords. A starting point is here. If you want to give it a serious try, please read this guide first.
To proceed with Google AdWords Showcase Shopping ads, take a look here.
When the "shopping cart" icon is grey, it means that there are results for Google Shopping on this page for your keyword, but the result is not yours. But when it is green — you've got it!
As part of branded Knowledge Graph listings for hotels, Google often displays in-card options to book a room right from the SERP. The providers of the rooms can include both the hotels' official websites and booking companies. Google gets either pay-per-click or a commission which is charged when bookings are made via listings on Google.
Start with Google Hotel Ads by choosing an authorized integration partner, who can set up and manage your Google Hotel Ads campaign, or contact Google's team and they will help you to find a suitable one.
When Google believes that the searcher is looking for a way to get from one place to another, it often shows a Route box, with a map and directions for driving, walking, cycling as well as train and bus schedules. You can see the same results on Google Maps when searching for a route.
As soon as you switch to the public transport tab and click on one of the routes, you will receive the information about the transportation company plus a link to its website, a link to the ticket information, and a phone number. A big chocolate candy — getting listed with the Route box is free for transportation companies.
If you are a transportation service that operates with fixed schedules and routes, you can join Google's free transit partner program.
Google Flights was born in 2011 as a result of Google's purchase of ITA matrix software, a powerful tool that lets searchers discover flight schedules and rates through Google search. The Flights box includes the names of airlines/travel agencies with links to their websites, duration of flights, and fares.
Clicking the "Search flights" link will take you to the Google Flights page, where you can pick a suitable flight and book it quickly. Google gets a commission from merchants for these sales. In some cases, you can purchase a ticket without even leaving Google.
There is no option to sign up to be listed on Google flights. Instead, you can contact ITA to be considered.
Local packs in Google are now comprised of a map and 3 listings. The three listings that we see depend largely on their location; when you click on one of them, it takes you to Google Maps with an extended view of this business.
Update the information when necessary.
The reviews from your Google My Business page can play a big part in your listing's prominence in local search, as the overall review rating is included into a local pack snippet. Plus, Google has an option for searchers to select only those businesses that are above a certain rating. Try to encourage your happy customers to make reviews for your business on Google, for example, you can offer some harmless incentives for reviews.
If you need more tips, we have them right here.
SEO PowerSuite's Rank Tracker lets you track your rankings both in the local 3-pack and the Map results. It also lets you specify custom locations to check rankings from (you can make it as exact as a street address), so you can monitor your local positions for as many target locations as you wish.
Fire up Rank Tracker, create a project for your website if you do not have one, or open an existing project, and by going to Preferences > Rank Checking Mode, make sure that Track organic results only box is unchecked, and the Track multiple results for keyword box is checked. Once you've done this, SERP features will be tracked along with the regular organic results every time you check rankings.
When the "pin" icon is grey, it means that there are results for Local Packs on this page for your keyword, but the result is not yours. But when it is green — you've got it!
To check your rankings for specific locations, go to Preferences -> Preferred Search Engines once more and click Add Custom next to Google. In the Advanced Settings window that pops up, enter your target city, area, zip code, or exact street address, and click OK.
Google usually displays a local Knowledge Graph for branded queries that imply that the searcher is looking for a business in a particular location, not the overall information about the company. This listing is kind of a doppelganger of a branded Knowledge Graph, but it does not draw the data from the same sources.
a "People also search for" section.
1. Set up a Google My Business page.
A Google My Business account is a must if you need to gain a local Knowledge Graph listing. Make sure to provide correct and relevant information: an address, map, contact details, and opening times. Plus, pick a quality preferred photo. This photo can't be a logo and should represent your business. Opt for a square picture, 250x250 pixels or larger.
2. Do a citation campaign.
Make sure your business is mentioned in all relevant local & industry specific directories. For example, Yelp and TripAdvisor for restaurants, Booking.com and TripAdvisor for hotels, etc. Double check your data for consistency across all these listings. It will make you look more prominent and credible in Google's googly eyes.
Google loves reviews and loves to include them anywhere it is suitable. Try to get at least 5 reviews on Google — you will be rewarded with the yellow review stars placed under your company name. If you see a happy customer, try to persuade them to leave a review, raise their eagerness to do so by offering some benign incentives. Here you can check out Google's guidelines for reviews.
The types of featured snippets, being so many, are worth a separate blog post, but it makes more sense to focus on those that are of SEO value and are able to bring real traffic. Those are mostly text-only answers. While some of the rich answers pop up as Knowledge Graphs (without a link), most of them come from the third-party sources and do include a link to the website.
If your page gets a featured snippet, it can give you a massive traffic boost, as the link to your website will be above search result number 1 (so the CTR will rocket).
1. Discover questions which you can build your content around.
Try to include the question and a concise, direct answer to it. The structure is very important here. Google can pick up properly tagged paragraphs, lists, and tables from your content (or make its own lists from your headings!). Make answers explicit in your content; if your content is long-form, include a short TL;DR version with a question-answer pair.
Let's do some on-page SEO. First of all, make sure to include your keywords and related terms in your content. You can do the analysis and optimization with SEO PowerSuite's Website Auditor. The tool's content editing module will give you specific optimization advice and recalculate your optimization scores as you type.
Bonus: here is a more detailed guide of how to get a featured snippet.
Once you have refreshed your rankings by selecting all or any particular keywords and clicking Check Rankings, in the Google SERP Features column you will see different kinds of icons that stand for various SERP features (if any). Luxuriously enough, a "crown" icon stands for featured snippets. When it is grey, it means that there is a featured snippet on this page for your keyword, but the snippet is not yours. But when it is green — you've got it!
The People also ask (PAA) box is a Google universal SERP result that answers questions related to the searcher's initial query. Let's treat it as a close relative of the featured snippet.
I have often seen PAA boxes right under the featured snippet, but now they are kind of on their own — PAAs can actually appear all over the first page of search results.
Each PAA box contains 1 — 4 related questions which you can expand to reveal answers that Google has pulled from other websites — they look exactly like featured snippets. You can see the website's URL under the answer plus a "Search for" link that leads you to a Google SERP of this particular PAA question.
Moreover, this PAA box has a dynamic nature — when you click a PAA question, the box expands and shows more questions. It can take you to infinity — it is able to show a few hundred PAA questions. Though, according to different studies, including the one by STAT (check out also the updated stats), after some expanding, questions start to repeat.
Where do these questions come from? It seems that nobody knows for sure. Certainly not from the featured snippets, as many PAA questions do not return a featured snippet if you follow a link to the prospective SERPs. Some think that they are based on a Machine Learning algorithm. It may be true, as some questions do not look natural (for example, grammatically). The same study by STAT showed that a third of the analyzed PAA questions returns zero search volume, so they are not selected from the questions that the searchers usually ask.
In spite of being all mysterious, the PAA box has a very lucrative nature and can bring you a good deal of traffic. The questions that seem more prominent tend to repeat during that dynamic PAA box expanding, and the same questions mostly return the answers with the same source, i.e. PAA question/answer combos stick together. So if you have earned a spot in the PAA box, it can pay off multiple times. There are also occurrences when a single URL can answer different, yet topical, PAA questions.
Discover questions to build your content around.
Give direct and concise answers in your content and structure them properly (in this case, PAAs are usually paragraphs or lists).
Optimize your content for keywords and related terms.
Dive into the infinity of dynamic PAA box expansion for the topics related to your industry for new ideas both for your questions and your content.
When you Google your favorite song or a movie trailer, you can see a large embedded video above all the search results. However, it does not work (or works really rarely and it is hard to spot) for other possible video results. While music videos contain, besides a URL, at least some information on the album, artist, genre, and sometimes drop-down suggestions on "People also search for", other video snippets contain just a URL. Plus, you can watch a video right on the SERP. The video snippet may also appear together with the Knowledge Graph panel.
A positive thing for possible traffic is that the link will lead you not necessarily to the official source of the video, as it has been before, but to the third-party sources. So we can cautiously think that Google is willing to give this search result space to non-official sources of videos that are uploaded to YouTube.
First of all, if you do not have a YouTube account, get it. All the observable large video snippets are pulled from YouTube.
Optimize the title and meta description of your videos for keywords. Do not overdo it, though.
Publish your videos both on your website and your YouTube channel. You can also publish them on social networks for better exposure.
Submit a video sitemap, so that Google could find all the videos from your site.
If your industry is not music- or movie-related, you can create how-to videos that explain how to do anything in your line of business. This will show your expertise that can rank for a particular topic. There can be also interviews, a video series of some process, reviews, etc.
Do some good old SEO. First, theory, then practice! Educate yourself about SEO to understand the optimization flow. Then make sure to get some full-cycle SEO tools that will help you to save time and make the optimization more comprehensive.
The days when the regular organic listings all looked the same are gone for good — the structured data markup has crept in and added some attractive, "calling for clicks" visualization.
Classic Google listings all look the same till you use some markup to enrich your SERP snippets with images, ratings, and other industry-specific pieces of data (in addition to the classic title, URL, and description).
Usually you get your review stars from different sources. If you know the sources, go to Preferences -> Alternative URLs and add the links to those websites with the reviews. Otherwise, you can view the source where your page (or your competitor's) got a review: make sure you are in the Rank Tracking dashboard and switch to SERP Analysis in the lower part of the screen. Click Record SERP data to start collecting SERP history. Mind that to use SERP Analysis, you need a Professional or Enterprise Rank Tracker license.
Video results are integrated into organic results and have a customized snippet. They consist of a thumbnail of the video, a publication date, and the name of the video channel. If multimedia content is a key strategy of your marketing campaign, then you have to think of the techniques to leverage your video results in Google.
If you are new to video marketing, YouTube is a great start. How-to videos and video reviews do best on this platform. Think of the industry-related topics you could address and produce videos to cover them.
The first thing you need to optimize is the file name of your video for uploading: it should be concise, clear, and keyword-oriented. The same about the video's title (plus, remember, it should be attractive enough to be clicked). Putting your keyword at the beginning of the title is considered a best practice. As for your video's description, remember to include a link to your site at the top of it. Ideally, the description should be 200+ words long and clearly state what your video is about.
Comments, thumbs up, and bounce rates are the factors that both Google and YouTube consider when determining videos' quality. You can see user experience stats in YouTube Analytics to spot areas you can improve.
Social media exposure is good for both traffic to your videos and your Google ranks. Distribute your videos on social media, Quora, industry forums, and embed them in blog posts to gain views and comments.
Usually your videos are located at different video hub sources. If you have an official video channel or you are aware of the particular locations of your videos, go to Preferences -> Alternative URLs and add links to your videos or channels. These can be any kind of links — YouTube, Vimeo, Wistia, etc. You can specify up to 100 URLs in total.
Once you have refreshed your rankings by selecting all or any particular keywords and clicking Check Rankings, in the Google SERP Features column (you can add it to your workspace) you will see different kinds of icons that stand for various SERP features (if any). When the "play" icon is grey, it means that there are results for Videos on this page for your keyword, but the result is not yours or located at the place with an alternative URL that you have not specified. But when it is green — you've got it!
To view the sources of the videos that are seen on the SERPs (both yours and of your competitors), make sure you are in the Rank Tracking dashboard and switch to SERP Analysis in the lower part of the screen. Click Record SERP data to start collecting SERP history. Mind that to use SERP Analysis, you need a Professional or Enterprise Rank Tracker license.
Image result boxes are often seen in Google's organic SERP and appear on the first results page, now often in its lower part due to the abundance of other kinds of search results, like Carousels, News, Things to do, etc. These results link directly to Google Images.
3. Do not forget about image titles and alt attributes.
Image titles and alternative attributes help Google to understand what your picture means, so try to use those tags to make Google understand. If relevant, include your target keywords in both the title and alt text.
4. Optimize your page content and URL.
Google analyzes the webpage as a whole to determine the relevancy of images to queries. So make sure to include your keywords in your content and URL and optimize your page fully. You can do it with WebSite Auditor's Content Analysis module.
When the "image" icon is grey, it means that there are results for Google Images on this page for your keyword, but the result is not yours. But when it is green — you've got it!
For now, social listings on the first SERP are represented only by Twitter, but it may change in the future — social results have been evolving a lot over the past years. In the current layout of Twitter listings, you can click through the account's recent tweets without leaving Google.
1. Use schema markup for organizations on our homepage.
You see, not a step without structured data markup — it is incredibly useful for all kinds of Google listings. A fine solution for higher rankings on Google is to use organization markup on your homepage.
Google is more likely to discover social profiles if they are verified by the social networks. Here are some great tips for verifying your profiles on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube & Google+, and Instagram.
When the "Twitter bird" icon is grey, it means that there are results for Twitter Box on this page for your keyword, but the result is not yours. But when it is green — you've got it!
Google News "Top stories" result blocks appear when in response to queries, Google is able to find some related news posts. Such results usually appear all over page 1 of the search results and have up to three links. The links can be enhanced with a thumbnail image.
If content creation is a key part of your marketing strategy and you consider your content newsworthy, you can become a publisher for Google News. To understand whether you are credible enough, check Google's guidelines for news sites. The main requirement is that your content should be of high quality, fresh, unique, and non-promotional.
When the "news" icon is grey, it means that there are results for Top Stories on this page for your keyword, but the result is not yours. But when it is green — you've got it!
Phew… That was exhaust..exciting! It is amazing how quickly search result types are evolving. Google is definitely into experimenting.
So what search result types have brought some traffic to your site? Have you discovered any new types or their varieties? I'm looking forward to more exploring!

Kurt Albrecht (* 4. Juni 1927 in Rodenbach; † 28. April 1945 in Osterholz-Scharmbeck) war ein deutscher fahnenflüchtiger Soldat im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Er ist einer der wenigen hingerichteten Deserteure der Wehrmacht, nach dem mehrere öffentliche Straßen und Plätze benannt wurden.

Leben
Kurt Albrecht wuchs in einer Arbeiterfamilie in Rodenbach bei Kaiserslautern in der Pfalz als einziges Kind des Formers Richard Albrecht und der Hausfrau Anna (geb. Lettemann) auf. Nach einer kaufmännischen Lehre wurde er im Sommer 1944 im Alter von 17 Jahren zum Kriegsdienst eingezogen und diente als Matrose in der Marine. Zuletzt war er an der Front als Melder im Marine-Grenadier-Regiment 5 eingesetzt. Kurz vor Kriegsende setzte er sich bei Rotenburg von der Truppe ab. Mit dem Fahrrad unterwegs, wurde er festgenommen. Nach einem Fluchtversuch wieder aufgegriffen, gestand er bei seiner Vernehmung ein, dass er nach Hause habe fahren wollen.

"Der junge Marinesoldat war kein Widerstandskämpfer oder hatte politische Motive, die ihn zum Deserteur werden ließen." Er wollte einfach kein Soldat mehr sein und wünschte sich nichts sehnlicher, "als zu seinen Eltern in die Pfalz zurückzukehren." Nach einem Augenzeugenbericht trat das Feldgericht der 2. Marine-Infanterie-Division am 28. April 1945 in einem Privathaus in Buschhausen – einem Ortsteil von Osterholz-Scharmbeck – zusammen. Ihm gehörte der Marineoberstabsrichter Dr. Kurt Göller an. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt hatte die Rote Armee bereits den Stadtkern von Berlin erreicht und mit der von Süden heranrückenden Front hatten die britischen Truppen Bremen eingenommen. Zum Schutz vor dem zu erwartenden Artilleriebeschuss wurde die Bevölkerung in Osterholz-Scharmbeck aufgefordert, sich in Kellern und Bunkern aufzuhalten. Ein paar Tage später war der Krieg vorbei.

Das Feldgericht verurteilte Kurt Albrecht unter Aberkennung der Wehrfähigkeit und Verlust der Bürgerlichen Ehrenrechte zum Tode. Am Abend desselben Tages wurde er zum Schießplatz des Scharmbecker Schützenvereins geführt und standrechtlich erschossen. Wie es die Dienstvorschriften der Wehrmacht vorsahen, wurden die sterblichen Überreste am 1. Mai ohne militärische und religiöse Zeremonie auf dem Scharmbecker Friedhof beigesetzt.

Nachlass

Geschichtliche Aufarbeitung
Das Schicksal von Kurt Albrecht wurde erst durch die Projektarbeit von Schülern der Berufsbildenden Schulen Osterholz-Scharmbeck öffentlich bekannt. Der Geschichtsgrundkurs des 12. Jahrgangs der Fachgymnasien recherchierte 2005 den Fall und überzeugte den heimischen Stadtrat, eine öffentliche Straße, den fußläufigen Weg in Osterholz-Scharmbeck vom Bahnhof zum Schulgelände, nach Kurt Albrecht zu benennen.

Bei dem "n21-Wettbewerb www.internetatlanten.de 2005" wurden die Schüler der BBS Osterholz-Scharmbeck für ihre Projektarbeit mit dem Sonderpreis ausgezeichnet.

Gedenken an Kurt Albrecht
Im Heimatort kannten bis vor kurzem nur wenige die wahre Geschichte des zum Tode Verurteilten: Auf dem Grabstein, den seine Eltern nach der Umbettung von Osterholz-Scharmbeck an seinem Grab in Rodenbach aufstellen ließen, steht neben dem Todestag "gefallen". Auch am Ehrenmal der Heimatgemeinde findet er sich als gestorbener Soldat namentlich aufgeführt.

Nach Kurt Albrecht wurde in Osterholz-Scharmbeck ein Weg benannt. Mitte November 2020 wurde dort auch eine Gedenktafel angebracht.

In seinem Heimatort Rodenbach erhielt der Kurt-Albrecht-Platz seinen Namen. Dort wurde auch eine Skulptur aufgestellt und eine Inschriften-Tafel angebracht, auf der steht "Er suchte die Freiheit und fand den Tod".

John B. Levy Discusses Impact of Technology on Commercial Real Estate During Appearance on Bloomberg Surveillance - JB Levy & Co.
Speaking with hosts Tom Keene and Francine Lacqua, Levy eased concerns that commercial real estate was as highly leveraged as it was a decade ago.
"There's nowhere near the leverage that we had in 2006 and 2007, and I guess the answer is 'thank goodness,'" Levy said, adding that there was, however, a lot of investors looking to enter the commercial real estate market either on the equity side or the debt side.
Levy also addressed questions from host Tom Keene on the continued growth of eCommerce, including internet retail giant Amazon.
Host Francine Lacqua asked Levy if he expected to see more of those kinds of real estate deals, such as JP Morgan building "big real estate" in New York.
Levy suggested that a need for a "re-do" of aging buildings in Manhattan would continue to drive construction in that market.
"So I think there will be more of that, but there will also be more governments looking to help with inducements and tax credits," concluded Levy.

We were thrilled to receive a bag of these beautifully knitted mice from Mrs Lunn, a local resident, as a thank you for the milk bottle tops that we collect for her. The milk bottle tops are used to raise funds for a charity that trains dogs to help children with physical and mental disabilities. The mice will be on sale at the Christmas Fair on Friday 7th December. We think they will prove very popular!
