4 Reasons to Use Dynamic Search Ads
October 27, 2021 • Armando Roggio
Dynamic search ads access your website content and deploy artificial intelligence to generate headlines, bids, and targeted search terms automatically. These easy-to-employ text ads are the Swiss Army knife of digital promotion: They work well in many situations.
Moreover, dynamic search ads (DSAs) are similar in concept to search engine optimization.
Something Like SEO
For SEO, you've carefully selected keywords and entities for all of your important pages. You focused on the technical side, ensuring that Google and other search engines can index your pages. You've also optimized the pages' content, making them high converting.
In the end, you trust the search engine to present a specific page to a potential customer when that person submits a related query.
DSAs are similar.
When someone types a term into Google that closely matches the keywords and entities found on one of your pages, Google Ads dynamically creates a relevant ad and presents it.
Advertisers can optimize DSAs for sending traffic to a website or, if you have conversions set up, to generate ecommerce sales.
DSAs are a striking example of marketing AI. There are multiple reasons to use them.
4 Reasons to Use DSAs
No organic rankings. One of the reasons to pay for any search ad is to garner traffic for a term your website does not rank for organically — or at least not rank on the first page.
Unlike SEO, however, DSAs do not need from advertisers a list of keywords. Google Ads or Microsoft Ads do that for you.
Google could use its index of your site or a page feed to target landing pages.
The page feed takes the form of a CSV spreadsheet with a column for the page URL and a column for custom labels. Advertisers can use these labels to build ad groups within a DSA campaign.
Large business. One could argue that a well-organized, keyword-focused search campaign sending visitors to a popular, conversion-optimized landing page will outperform a DSA.
For large businesses, however, creating all of those well-organized, meticulously-built campaigns might be a challenge.
Imagine you have an ecommerce website with 5,000 or more pages. These pages might include millions of keyword phrases and search entities. Trying to build search campaigns for all of them would be daunting, if not impossible.
Savvy companies focus on the top-performing pages, developing campaigns for the products that will produce the most revenue. This leaves lots of pages unrepresented in ads.
Enter the DSA. It can target those unrepresented URLs and associated products.
Here's an example. I'm aware of a company that targeted 1,362 pages not included in its Google search campaigns. The DSAs aimed at these long-tail pages generated 2,211 conversions in a month.
This screen capture is of a DSA campaign for a large site. There are 1,362 landing pages in the campaign. From Oct. 1 – 25, the campaign generated 2,211 conversions. Click image to enlarge.
Small business. DSA campaigns can help small businesses, too.
While a large business might be unable to build traditional search campaigns for every page, a small business might not do it for any page.
An entrepreneur at the helm of a small ecommerce company has lots of responsibilities. She may need to focus on the supply chain one moment and holiday email marketing the next. In between, she addresses order fulfillment and customer service.
DSAs are a good option when you don't have the time or expertise to check and optimize ad performance daily. Rather, you can invest a little time upfront and let DSAs drive traffic and sales.
Search term intelligence. DSAs are keyword research extraordinaire.
As a dynamic campaign runs, Google tracks all related search terms — the actual words and phrases folks queried. These words and phrases are a rich source of keyword opportunities.
For every search term, Google provides the number of impressions, clicks, and conversions.
Advertisers can take the top-performing terms and use them in new, keyword-driven campaigns.
As helpful as DSAs can be, there are concerns. DSAs can cannibalize traffic from other ad campaigns and from organic results. And DSAs sometimes result in higher acquisition costs and a less-than-perfect customer experience.
Let's consider these in turn.
Cannibalization. DSAs can target search terms that match keywords in other campaigns or ad groups. This is especially true if a DSA is in the same campaign as a standard ad group. Don't do that.
DSAs may also cannibalize organic traffic. For example, DSAs commonly target an advertiser's brand name. Odds are good your company would also rank for your name organically. Thus you might end up paying for clicks you would have received for free. This could happen with product names and long-tail topics, too.
Acquisition cost. Not all landing pages targeted by DSAs are high converting. Inevitably, some of those pages will produce few conversions, but a DSA will still serve impressions and clicks for those poor performers.
Customer experience. Finally, remember that Google (or Microsoft) dynamically generates the headline of a DSA based on the content of the landing page and the search term.
If your site is not search optimized, the DSA could generate irrelevant headlines or search terms. Sending searchers to an unrelated landing page is a poor experience. In that case, it's not the DSA's fault. It's your SEO.
Dynamic Search Ads Complement Pay-per-click Efforts
Understanding Dynamic Search Ads in 2021


Since I have not given any real pregnancy update on the blog yet, I decided to update you all from the beginning of the pregnancy up to the present.
As Dan finished his last semester at Eastern, I was fighting more nausea than I ever had with Lydia. And I became an extremely picky eater. Of course, pickles and ice cream were my biggest cravings, but also macaroni and cheese (actually any sort of cheese), cinnamon rolls, and brownies. Lentils, broccoli, and salsa were absolutely revolting for those first few months.
Because Lydia had been born nine weeks early, I have an increased probability of having another preemie. And because Lydia had to spend her first six weeks in the hospital, and because that was one of the most difficult situations Dan and I have ever experienced, we were eager to do everything possible to prevent another early delivery. What can be done? Well, not much, to be honest. The doctors have been eager to keep an extra close eye on us, take lots of ultrasounds, and require extra visits. We have been prayerfully making our decisions as they come, and so far have found a pleasant balance of extra care and reasonability.
One slight complication the ultrasound identified was that Baby's umbilical cord is attached to the edge of the placenta, instead of being centered. From our best understanding, this usually doesn't affect Baby, but there's a "possibility", say the doctors, that Baby could not get everything she needs through the cord to grow properly. The solution is to do lots of extra ultrasounds to see if she's growing, and if not, deliver early. We'd rather not deliver early and certainly don't plan on delivering so early that she couldn't survive, so we have delayed these extra ultrasounds for the moment.
According to this ultrasound, Baby is big for her age, which is good considering the umbilical cord situation. It also supports Dan and my theory that the due date may be a little off. Most people expect their baby quite close to the due date, but with our suspicions combined with my history, we have no idea when Baby might surprise us!
The good news is that tomorrow I will be 26 weeks along, and 80% of babies born at 26 weeks survive. The rate goes up to 90% at 27 weeks and hits 95% by 28 weeks. Needless to say, we are thankful to be where we are! For those who are interested, September 27 would be the date when baby is as old as Lydia, when Lydia was born. So that's the next big milestone. My personal goal is to make it to November 2, 36 weeks, which is when most babies can go home without time in the NICU and without developmental complications.
So, there's a breakdown of our past 6 months as far as baby is concerned. Thanks to all who have prayerfully supported us through the pregnancy so far. We trust that this little one is in God's hands, and will be born when He wants her to be. I've also had my moments of anxiety, convinced that Baby would "certainly be born any minute!", but many praying ladies from church have lifted us up and those fears have been replaced with the peace that passes all understanding.
Baby Two, we love you and are so excited for when God does bring you into this world, though we hope it's not too soon!

These have accompanied us to a few parties and they were a hit each time! Who doesn't love fresh fruit, and skewer presentation makes it look like you spent a lot of time prepping when in reality it is easy-peasy!
I also usually bring my favorite fruit dip alongside. It involves throwing three easy ingredients (yes, I said three) in a bowl and mixing… recipe below!

Union Connectivity Review recommends better rail freight links at ports
Updated Friday, 26 November by www.railfreight.com
The UK Union Connectivity Review, published today (Friday 26 November), has recommended improved rail freight at British ports to maximise the economic potential of the government-backed freeport network. The UK government commissioned the Review to examine existing infrastructure links between the four nations of the United Kingdom (UK). Other recommendations include a direct call to improve the northern section of the West Coast Main Line, the busy mixed-traffic corridor that connects Scotland and London.
Sir Peter Hendy, the chairman of Network Rail, the UK rail infrastructure management agency, has published the Union Connectivity Review, which he also chaired. The Review covers all modes of transport and connectivity and has much of its content devoted to passenger movement. However, freight movement is not overlooked, with reference to a need for a more holistic attitude to freight movement, encouraging the road and rail arms of government to work more closely together to develop a more efficient attitude towards freight logistics.
Port rail freight connections
The Review makes specific recommendations for improved connectivity to seaports across the United Kingdom. It says that by enhancing rail freight connections, the UK can maximise the potential of the freeports initiative. "By investing in improved connectivity to and from these economic hubs; and Maintain high environmental standards, such as the provision of electric vehicle charge points, the protection of the natural environment and integration with local active travel schemes and sustainable local transport options", says the Review.
Better rail connections to ports are part of the Union Connectivity Review.
The Review looks at connections between Scotland and Northern Ireland – which has been the subject of grandiose plans for a 25-mile (40km) bridge between South West Scotland and Northern Ireland. That plan has been ruled out, but more practical solutions are sought, including better rail freight provision. "The challenge of connecting ports to the wider transport network was one of the key themes identified by respondents to the Review's call for evidence", says the Review. "The capacity and resilience, particularly of the A75 and the A77 [roads connecting to Scottish ports and Northern Ireland], was raised multiple times by different stakeholders. Other issues identified by stakeholders included a need to improve rail connectivity to ports for freight and to increase the UK rail freight gauge to W12, where possible, to support the movement of deep-sea shipping containers."
Implications for the rail freight industry
Keeping the four nations of the United Kingdom better connected has been a key part of the UK government agenda under prime minister Boris Johnson. He commissioned an examination of existing infrastructure and sought recommendations on improving those links. The outcome – the Union Connectivity Review – has been published today. There are implications for the future of the rail freight industry within its 98 pages.

Bodies as wide-ranging as the Rail Freight Group and the British Ports Association and lobby groups such as the Federation of Small Business and the Campaign for Borders Rail are acknowledged for their contributions to the Review. All those bodies have a stake in the specific recommendations for West Coast connectivity. "Reduce rail journey times and increase rail capacity between Scotland and London, the Midlands and North West England by upgrading the West Coast Main Line north of Crewe and reviewing options for alternative northerly connections between HS2 and the West Coast Main Line", says the Review. "Seek to work with the Scottish Government to develop an assessment of the East Coast road and rail transport corridor from North East England to South East Scotland, including improvements on the East Coast Main Line."
Collaboration between rail and road
The Review urges better collaboration between the UK government rail and road departments. "This Review has already identified a series of infrastructure improvements that will support the development of road and rail freight on the proposed UKNET [a proposed strategic body to oversee all UK communications infrastructure]. For instance, there is already strong collaboration between National Highways and Network Rail in England to develop common views of the freight markets on individual corridors and interventions such as rail capacity upgrades, rail gauge enhancements and road improvements", says the report.
The scope of the Review is somewhat limited by the devolved nature of transport policy in the UK. Each of the devolved governments in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales have differing autonomy over transport development. The Review acknowledges this and, in effect, puts many of its recommendations into play, with the collaboration of the devolved governments both encouraged and required.

So glad you dropped by Red Couch Recipes! Welcome to Tablescape Thursday where dishlovers of the Internet unite and set their prettiest tables and post them. Today my table was set by my 10-year old daughter (with a wee bit of help from me). After school we were sitting around talking, and eating and I didn't have a tablescape ready for today. I asked her if I should do one, and she said, "She'd do it.
Like other dishlovers, she had a huge variety to choose from. She chose my mother's Noritake China in the LaSalle Pattern. I think she liked the tea cups. She added a bit of Bacopa that she stole from the pot on the deck.
A view through my bubbly glass and of my desert neighborhood!
There just is something about white dishes and clear glass, isn't there? I love white napkins too.
A long view of the table.
And of course, a little sweet! This is a pear pie with a crumbly crust.
Thanks for dropping by Talley's Teatime Table.
Oh how pretty! She's off to a great start!
Well done Talley! It's a lovely setting.
It is nice to know that young ladies are still interested in the finer things in life...setting such a beautiful table!
Great table, who would have thought it was done by such a "young" lady. Great job.
I'd love a piece of that pie. It's lovely.
How very sweet that in today's environment your 10-year-old would have an interest in setting a beautiful table--well done, Mom! And that you can share this activity is wonderful. Please give Talley lots of atta girls for a job well done. It's beautiful.
Great table, love the white and clear! That pear pie doesn't look bad either:@) I haven't baked with pears in quite a while-gotta fix that!
A very pretty table and there is nothing classier than white and clear glass!
You are raising her right!!! ;-) She did a wonderful job...love the dishes she chose. She really is following in mom's footsteps!!
Just lovely. I love the soothing quality of this table. Delightful!
Your daughter is just 10 and creating tablescapes already that have lots of panache! Hooray for her! She'll be blowing us all out of the water in a few years! :-) That is a dy-no-mite Noritake china pattern!!! The flatware goes so nicely with it! Beautiful table!
Well done! I wish my 10 y o g'dau was here. Long enough to do a Table with me!
I see a future tablescaper there!
I occasionally experiment with color, but always go back to white. It's so classically elegant and understated and calm. Your helper did a fantastic job!
The fact that this was a mother/daughter creation just made me smile. I love that so much.
And I love her white table, too. It's lovely. I'm getting on a white kick lately.
Your table is lovely, Joni. How wonderful that you and your daughter could create it together. Well done, Talley.

Current Location :: Tilburg, Netherlands
Real Names :: Marlon Flohr & Ralph van Hilst
Music Genres :: Electronica, Electro House
Bassjackers aka Marlon Flohr and Ralph van Hilst had not foreseen what was coming when they started out with their collaboration. Marlon was already Dj-ing for a while and Ralph experimented a lot with making different kinds of dance music. Marlon was mainly playing house music at the time and then the idea came to push Ralphs productions in that direction so that Marlon could play the tracks in his sets. The first track they were both satisfied with was "Beat Cut".
They decided to send the track to some major house Djs to get some feedback and support. They immediately got support from Dutch Topjocks like Don Diablo and Erick E and Fedde le Grand charted "Beat Cut" in his top 10 and things started to roll. As "Beat Cut" got signed at Sneakerz Muzik, one can speak of a dream debut!
After "Beat Cut" their follow up "Juicy Lucy" became a real club banger aswell! It got support on big radio stations like 3FM. After that their tracks "Enowapi" "Klambu" and "Sujo" gained massive support again and got compilated at various cds like; Defected, One Love Compilation (AU), Nope is Dope, Sneakerz and the list goes on. And recently their latest weapon "16", a collab with Dj Jorn, is creating a big buzz on the internet, making it one of the most wanted records at the moment. And after hearing it Sidney Samson immediately signed it to his label Samsobeats!
Next to their own tracks, Bassjackers are known for their infamous remixes. They have remixed artists like Ron Carrol, Ian Carey and Sidney Samson and remixed for labels like 4Kenzo, Spinnin and Kingdom Kome Cuts to name a few. Their remixes for Gregor Salto, Giorgio Giordano and Real el Canario all ended up the 1 spot on dancetunes; the leading dance portal in Holland.
They also were the ones responsible for the Quintino remix of "Rap das armas", which they co-produced together with Quintino. The track reached the 1 spot of the official Dutch Top 40, and got over 8 millions of views on youtube!
As you can see, Bassjackers penetrated the house scene with their productions in a short period of time! From Roger Sanchez to Chuckie, from Laidback Luke to Mark Knight, everybody has some Bassjackers secret weapons in their repertoire, ready to blow up the dance floor.
On the Dj side of Bassjackers things also evolved fast. Because of their successes with their releases and remixes various party organizations started to notice them. This resulted in a residency at the biggest house concept in Holland; Nope is Dope. Now they got to play their tracks in front of thousands of enthusiastic party people. They played all the biggest clubs in Holland for various organizations like Sneakerz, Latin Village etc, but one of their highlights was playing in the MECC hallen in front of 10000 party people, the your music festival with N*E*R*D and the Summer tours across the coasts of Turkey and Spain.
Bassjackers got the opportunity to compile and mix the 3rd Nope is Dope CD! This was a great chance to show themselves to the bigger audience. The CD stormed the Dutch album charts and this put them on the map even more!!
For the future they have a lot in stock for us, working on new trax and remixes, solo and collaborations with artists like Ralvero, Oliver Twizt, Bizzey and Apster, they are about to take over!

David Willey starred with ball and bat as England tuned up for their T20 tri-series against Australia and New Zealand by demolishing a Prime Minister's XI in Canberra.
The home side were billed as the PM's strongest line-up in years, boasting 239 international caps between them, but were brushed aside by eight wickets as the tourists raced home with 44 balls remaining.
Willey, having already taken three wickets, hammered England's Ashes tormentor Nathan Lyon's first five balls for six in the sixth over of the chase, falling just short of a maximum haul when he stroked the final delivery for four.
The Yorkshire all-rounder has never batted higher than seven for England but has plenty of domestic experience at the top of the order and finished with 79 from 36 balls.
With the hosts making just 136 for eight, Liam Dawson claiming three for 16, England hurried to victory at indecent pace.
Having already flagged their intention to leave out Liam Plunkett, Chris Jordan and Alex Hales due to fitness niggles, England added Jason Roy to the absentee list when he reported a stiff back.
That led to Willey's fortuitous promotion and a first appearance at senior level for 19-year-old Sam Curran, who joined elder brother Tom in the XI.
Willey took care of new-ball duties and, in his second over, both openers.
Peter Nevill played on attempting to drag a ball from a yard outside off and the dangerous Nic Maddinson top-edged an abortive pull to short fine-leg.
Peter Handscomb, dropped after two Ashes Tests, used an exaggerated backlift and nimble footwork to strike 43 in quick time but lacked assistance.
James Faulkner might have fitted the bill had he not been brilliantly caught by Sam Billings, who flicked the ball up as he teetered on the rope then leapt back into play as he gathered the catch.
Dawson took the next three wickets with a pick'n'mix of dismissals – Kurtis Patterson caught and bowled, Handscomb bowled slog-sweeping and Daniel Hughes stumped.
At 90 for six the guts had been pulled from the innings, though 42 from the last five overs at least tipped them towards respectability.
James Vince got the chase going by smashing the final ball of Gurinder Sandhu's first over for six, then Willey milked Lyon's first visit for nine, with little hint of the brutality to come at their next meeting.
The scoreboard had ticked along swiftly to 49 after five overs when Lyon returned and Willey unleashed.
The first ball disappeared straight down the ground, the second over wide long-on and the next two climbing over long-off.
By now even the home support were anticipating something special, cheering as Willey flogged the fifth ball on to the grass bank at mid-wicket then comically booing when he was only able to finish with four through the covers.
Spinner Mitchell Swepson eventually dismissed both batsmen, Vince bowled for 26 and Willey held in the deep after adding another maximum to his collection. That left Dawid Malan (21 not out) and Eoin Morgan (8no) to seal the inevitable.

LSG Fires GM, Chef At Denver Airport
By Dan Flynn on January 6, 2010
LSG SkyChefs has fired its general manager and head chef at Denver International Airport and has torn out the pipes and drain that were contaminated with the stubborn Listeria bacteria.
The world's largest airline food service, owned by the German airline Deutsche Lufthansa AG, is working against the clock to be ready for the next time the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) inspects its Denver facilities.
That's because LSG lost "approved status" for its flight kitchens at DIA after FDA found live and dead roaches and tests came back positive for Listeria bacteria.
On Dec. 23rd, Food Safety News became first in the world to report on LSG's problems at Denver. FDA reduced LSG to "provisional status" in a formal Warning Letter issued on Dec. 10th.
The airline catering company must pass the re-inspection or it could fall to "Use Prohibited" or "Not Approved" status. That would prevent LSG from selling food to airlines. It must regain its "Approved" status.
In addition to the firings, LSG decided that chemical treatments to the kitchen floor drains were not effective in eradicating Listeria. It opted for structural changes, removing old pipes and drains and installing new ones.
FDA's Denver District Director H. Thomas Warwick, Jr. told news services that his inspectors will be immediately re-inspecting the facility, and in fact, that may have begun on Monday.
Beth Van Duyne, spokesman for the international company, has insisted from the beginning the company was taking FDA's findings very seriously and would be doing whatever it takes to pass the next inspection.
The last inspections were in September and October when FDA officials visited the airline kitchen, taking samples from various locations inside the processing facility.
"Our FDA laboratory analyses of these environmental samples (FDA Sample #531908) revealed that three swab sub samples collected from floor locations in the hot kitchen area were found positive for Listeria monocytogenes," Warwick wrote.
Van Duyne said all the positive samples came from drains, and that no positive results were returned from any food or food preparation surfaces.
LSG's flight kitchen is located in a building that was constructed at about the same time the airport was built. It is located on East 75th Avenue.
It was there that FDA investigators "observed numerous live roaches, dead roaches, and other insects, as well as food, and other debris, in various locations…"

Fat. The word holds a lot of weight and has connections deep down in many people in many different ways. People are big-boned, larger, bigger, stocky, but not fat. You're not fat, you're beautiful. You are anything but fat. But why? If you told someone that you were tall, they would not correct you saying "You're not tall, you're beautiful" because we all know that you can be tall and be attractive. You can be short - the literal opposite of being tall - and still be attractive. It's acceptable to be the muscular mesomorph, the slender ectomorph, but the fat endomorph?
From a young age we are taught that it is inappropriate to tell others that they are fat; that it is a dirty word. So why is it that we have created this false dichotomy of fat and attractive, that we do not see with most other characteristics that we use to describe others? History shows that it has not always been this way. Take, for example, the Baroque Period. In the 17th century, one of the most prolific artists of history, Sir Peter Paul Rubens, found great success from painting full-figured women. His artistic portrayal of fat women led to the creation of the descriptor of "Rubenesque" to describe bodies like in Sir Rubens art. The image of these women were understood to represent happiness, prosperity, and pleasure. Today, Rubenesque art refers to a wide range of art celebrating the beauty in the fat femme form.
One of the words most use to describe a "big-boned" friend is overweight. This word comes from the dated practice of using the BMI scale. BMI stands for body mass index and was created with the idea that by comparing height to weight ratios, a doctor could then recommend you exercise more, eat differently, etc. However, more recently it has been documented by several sources that the BMI scale is actually false. Take for example, a muscular mesomorph basketball player like Lebron James. At 6'8 and 250 lbs he is the poster child for the world of sports. That being said, according to the BMI scale, Lebron James is overweight on the cusp of obesity - something not commonly associated with professional athletes. One of the most obvious reasons for gross miscalculations such as this is that the equation for BMI uses an exponent of 2 which is illogical as human beings exist as three dimensional objects. That being said, the word "overweight" in many ways can be more harmful than "fat". By using the term "overweight" we perpetuate the false idea that there is a universal normal weight and that people are either within or outside of the zone of healthy living.
It is not uncommon now to see body empowerment activists identify as fat, and their reasoning really is simple. Everybody has fat. Everybody also has muscles, bones, and blood. Fat does not have to be a bad word. Some bodies are fat. Some are tall and some short and some thin. Fat is a descriptor that reflects the character of the one who uses it. That being said many people have deeply personal feelings and differing relationships with the word. So while it may be wise not to label others without consent, it is a word to work on reintroducing ourselves to. A word to befriend after being taught to believe it was the enemy.
"If you are fat, then you are unhealthy." This quote is probably quite familiar. It has been ingrained into our brains ever since we were children; it is reinforced by mothers, doctors, and even friends. Everyone agrees without a twinge of doubt that chronic physical and mental ailments are caused by one major factor: being fat. Collectively we were all taught that if we could shed a few pounds, then all our problems would go away. But what if everything we have been taught about health is wrong? What if everything we think we know about being obese is merely an effect of deeply rooted biases and weight stigma in our culture?
The typical approach to weight loss only yields short term results; most people tend to gain back the weight they lost, making them feel like a failure. Losing weight creates even more problems, such as lower self-esteem, eating disorders, weight cycling, and chronic stress.
Health at Every Size (HAES) chooses to challenge these narrow values of health in today's society, and recognizes that health encompasses so much more than the number on the scale. Instead of fixating on weight loss as a determinant of health, HAES is an evidence-based approach that focuses on weight inclusivity, joyful movement, and intuitive eating. HAES encourages you to eat what you crave when you are hungry, allowing yourself to enjoy the food. HAES promotes respect for all body types; just because your body looks differently than someone else's does not mean it is unhealthy. And lastly, HAES strives to end weight discrimination and support physical activity of all types for all body types.
It almost sounds too good to be true, right? Well, it isn't! Clinical trials have shown time and time again that following a HAES lifestyle improves self-image, self-esteem, and even medical issues.
If you are having trouble understanding how to incorporate HAES into your lifestyle, think about caring for your body the same way a mother cares for her children. She feeds them when they cry out in hunger, she lets them crawl around when it becomes restless, and she allows them to rest when they're tired. Love your body, show compassion for it, and you will eventually learn its wants and needs. Your body can do amazing things if you just listen to what it has to say.
By now, most of us have heard that physical activity is one of the key components in maintaining good health. However, the way physical activity is marketed to us is often under harsh and intense conditions. Our culture often emphasizes the "no pain, no gain" approach to exercise, explaining that if it didn't hurt, it probably wasn't effective. Well, I am here to dispel that myth with one term: Joyful movement.
Joyful movement places an emphasis on moving your body in ways that feel good to you, which may look different for everyone. Further, it encourages checking in with your body and asking what it needs: Does it need to walk? Does it need to rest? Does it need to stretch? Does it need to dance? Any and all movement is good, no matter what shape or form it comes in. In addition, it is likely going to be more beneficial on your physical and mental health to perform activity that makes you happy!
You don't need to go on a 5-mile run or push yourself in unhealthy ways in order to be healthy, you just need to move and more importantly, move in ways that bring you joy. My personal favorite is Yin yoga, which is a slow-paced stye of yoga with postures that are held for longer periods of time. Find a way that you like to move, at your own pace, on your own time.

Wressle proppant squeeze still awaiting consent but West Newton well tests imminent – Union Jack
By Ruth Hayhurst on May 17, 2021 • ( 1 Comment )
Final consent had not yet been granted for the stimulation of the Wressle oil well in North Lincolnshire, Union Jack Oil confirmed today. But the company announced that tests on wells at two West Newton sites in East Yorkshire were expected soon.

In its company accounts for 2020, Union Jack said the Wressle well, in which it has a 40% stake, had been placed on a continuous production test after re-perforation through the Ashover Grit formation.
Union Jack said:
"The well test results to date are in line with expectations and consent for a proppant squeeze in respect of the next stage of operations is awaited."
A proppant squeeze involves the injection of fluid and proppant, such as sand, into the rock formation to improve the flow of hydrocarbons.
The Environment Agency regards it as a form of low-volume fracking because the injection pressure is high enough to fracture rocks.
But proppant squeeze is not covered by the moratorium on hydraulic fracturing in England because it does not use the specified volume of fluid (1,000m3 of fluid per fracturing stage or 10,000m3 of fluid during the whole fracking process).
The process needs a hydraulic fracturing plan (HFP), which outlines what an operator would do to minimise the risks of earth tremors from fracking. It also states how the hydraulic fracturing process would be monitored and controlled.
The HFP must be approved independently by both the Environment Agency (EA) and the Oil & Gas Authority. The Health and Safety Executive also has a chance to comment.
In January 2021, the Environment Agency confirmed that the Wressle HFP, submitted by the site operator, Egdon Resources, was still "in draft". Since then, there has been no public information about the plan.
At optimum production levels, the Wressle-1 well has been projected to produce at a gross rate of 500 barrels of oil per day ("bopd"). If accurate, this would give Union Jack 200 bopd from the well.
Union Jack's total production in 2020 was an average of 50 barrels of oil per day from from two fields: Keddington and Fiskerton Airfield.
On 18 May 2021, Union Jack announced that all necessary consents for the Wressle proppant squeeze had been received. DrillOrDrop report
West Newton tests
Union Jack also announced that tests were expected soon on the West Newton B-1z and A2 wells, operated by Rathlin Energy:
"The imminent well testing programme is the next important milestone in determining the development potential of West Newton."
The B-1z well was drilled in November 2020 to a depth of 2,114m.
It confirmed a gross hydrocarbon saturated interval of 118m in the Kirkham Abbey formation. No water has yet been encountered and a good cement bond had been confirmed in the production liner, the accounts reported.
Union Jack's chairman, David Bramhill, said:
"All the results to date continue to support our belief that West Newton is a large scale, conventional onshore oil and gas development asset with potential offshore-sized resources in place."
Rising revenues, assets and losses
The accounts also reported small rises in Union Jack's revenue, operating costs and the total loss for the year.
Net assets increased by 35% to more than £18 million. During 2020, the company increased its stake in five onshore licences in Lincolnshire.
Mr Bramhill said:
"I have no doubt even in these unprecedented times, that given our attractive projects, we will achieve our goal of increasing production materially and becoming a significant, principally onshore mid-tier UK producer in due course.
"The Company remains in sound financial health, with a robust balance sheet, continues to be debt free, with ample cash reserves to fund its well testing and planned development commitments, offering shareholders ongoing and significant scope for growth.
"The future of Union Jack remains bright."

I recently acquired a new cell phone – the Samsung Galaxy S (aka the Vibrant in America) and as with all new toys I love to push their limits! Today we are going to take a look at the video playback capabilities of the Galaxy using the stock video player that comes with the phone. Let's begin!
The Galaxy easily chews through any standard definition videos you throw at it. In certain videos microstutter can be noticed, which is most likely related to a lower fps. 25fps and 30fps videos seem to play very fluently. A video example below!
I really didn't expect much going into this test, but believe it or not, the first video I threw at the Galaxy played brilliantly!
However, I noticed that videos with DTS audio would not play back any sound.
I also noticed that some videos (mainly trailers) would not play back at all for some reason.
Conclusion: Most videos should work, but not DTS audio/wonky container configurations.
However, don't let this be a deterrent, because even distincting SD from HD material is pretty hard! 1080p would add nothing to the WVGA resolution of the Galaxy.
I was pleasantly surprised at the possibility for HD video playback on the Galaxy. This means less time converting videos to weird formats and more time viewing them. Cheers!

People who know me are familiar with my strong interest in file sharing, copyright law and the moral consequences involved. Therefore I feel almost obligated to write up a my opinion on the verdict that surfaced att 11AM today – sentencing the four accused – guilty, giving them one year in prison each and a collective fine of 30 000 000 swedish crowns.
I followed the trial almost every day through the live webcasts from the courtroom, and was often appalled at the low standard of technical knowledge throughout the course of it. Not only that – according to me the prosecutor failed to show that they had financial gain from the ads displayed, something the judge disagreed on and stated increased the penalty.
But as my friend Eva (Original Swedish / Translated English) points out, this trial does not mean the end and will most likely be appealed shortly. Experts speculate that the final verdict from the Swedish supreme court will be clear in no less than five years time.

Greetings everyone! As promised, here are my notes on the journey to London! Most of these were scribbled down on the plane home.
I didn't really know what to expect as I walked into the theatre for this performance. I've seen my fair share of musicals, and sometimes I've been really blown away. I remember seeing a Swedish rendition of "The Producers" and really liking it. Sadly, I wasn't as amazed about The Phantom Of The Opera. The music was sort of repetitive, we were treated to half a dozen renditions of the signature track and another half dozen of "Angel Of Music" with other songs in the intermissions between the two giants. The lyrics were sometimes pretty laughable (Not a compliment!) and any "funny lines" seemed more likely to be a mistake than an actual attempt at comedy by Mr. Webber. I can't complain about the story though. It was interesting, beautiful and captivating. All and all, I was satisfied with the show.

A look at the clothing of the royal family throughout the ages. Not really my kind of thing, although with the extreme care, talent and creativiy that goes in to creating these fantastic garments is really something to admire.
I was excited to visit Madame Tussauds because of the extreme care and talent that goes into making one of these dolls. After seeing a few, the rest of the museum wasn't as spectacular, although the Chamber Of Horrors cheered me up a bit!
PS. The dolls were harder than I had imagined. DS.
I really must say that England as a country was quite fantastic. I noticed an incredible mix of nationalities and races. It really is a multi-cultural country. Women and men were dressed handsomely and seemed to be generally very patriotic of their country and the royal family. The drug culture seemed a bit more relaxed than in Sweden, with smoke shops selling "Smoke blends" and bongs in all colors, but it's actually pretty much as restricted as in Sweden – and so the tolerability amongst the population must be higher. Onto something a bit different, the Brits really love their CCTV – it felt like you couldn't walk much more than a a few dozen feets between the signs warning you that you are constantly being monitored. A quick look at Wikipedia shows that there is an estimated 4,200.000 cameras in use throughout the kingdom. Cameras were everywhere – I wouldn't be surprised if I was registered on several hundred of them throughout my four-day visit.
Oh yes, and here's a British Big Mac.
Verdict: Nice, reminds me of the Swedish version.
Go ahead and look through the gallery below!

These past few weeks I've been indulging myself in the post-apocalyptic 2003 CBS show Jericho. Portraying a small town at the heart of the United States in the aftermath of a series of nuclear explosions. The show was initially cancelled after its first season but resurrected after a petition for a seven-episode second minis-season, after which it was… yeah, you guessed it – cancelled again. A real shame according to me. To be completely fair, the show is very corny – sometimes it feels like you could guess large parts of the dialogue, but despite its flaws, it somehow managed to go beyond them and the show really works. In fact, it works really well, although it might just be my love for dystopian futures at play. Definitely a recommended watch!
I finished watching Slumdog Millionaire a few hours ago, and have been mostly sitting down trying to let the movie sink in, just like a big meal. Somehow that seems an appropriate comparison. Slumdog Millionaire is filled to the brim with a lot of things. Drama – Check, Love – Check, Passion – Check, Violence – Check. There really isn't much left out. Without saying too much about the plot, we follow slumdog chai-boy Jamal as he tries to win over the girl of his dreams by participating in the Indian version of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. Due to accusations of cheating for doing overly well, Jamal is forced to explain to a police officer how he know the answers to all of the questions on the show, and so the epic tale of his life from early childhood begins. As we travel we see the old and the new India – a country in violent change with the influence of modern day society, with urbania slowly creeping outwards from the big cities, swallowing the slums – the film definitely deserves its cinematography Oscar, and the same goes for the musical score, which was breathtaking. I award this movie seven out of ten function points.
For all of you who want to know more or want my non-spoiler-free opinion, keep reading below!
Slumdog Millionaire was rapidly approaching an epic movie, the elements were all there, but the cringe-worthy ending was such a huge letdown. (Although the dance number at the end made up for it a little) Whoever designed the poster pictured above didn't seem to notice how most of movie portrays a dark and inhospitable India, but had his eyes peeved at the last ten minutes of the movie, which had the sweetest fairytale ending ever. I don't hate fairytale endings, it was just that I didn't expect a finalé that was interchangeable with a cheesy MTV production. Although don't't get me wrong, I might have scolded this picture, but it is by no means a bad one, although I can't believe it took home an entire eight Oscars, it's still a good alternative take and interesting integration with foreign culture, which I hope to see more of in the future.
Last weekened marked an important step forward in the development of The Thomas Karlsson Project, a series of short films concerning different aspects of professional bicycling that me and my friend Thomas have had in the plannings for almost two years but due to different circumstances have never gotten off the ground. Finally – last weekend we started filming! The result was a whole bunch of great filler shots for the future, and hopefully we'll be expanding upon the film(s) on a more frequent basis from now on. We're not sure ourselves how these will turn out in the ends, but we agreed to try to make the best movies possible with as small of a budget as can be. We've made plans to build a steadycam, and I'm currently trying to build a homemade studio lamp, with a lot of help from Stephanie. If it turns into anything usable, I'll make sure to post a DIY tutorial on it! Keep a look out for more information, as I will be updating on the status of the project as it develops.

Of your profession?- Speak, what trade art thou?
CARPENTER Why, sir, a carpenter.
MURELLUS Where is thy leather apron, and thy rule?
You, sir, what trade are you?
COBBLER Truly, sir, in respect of a fine workman, I am but as you would say, a cobbler.
MURELLUS But what trade art thou? Answer me directly.
COBBLER A trade, sir, that I hope, I may use with a safe conscience, which is indeed, sir, a mender of bad soles.
FLAVIUS What trade, thou knave? Thou naughty knave, what trade?
COBBLER Nay I beseech you, sir, be not out with me: yet if you be out, sir, I can mend you.
MURELLUS What mean'st thou by that? Mend me, thou saucy fellow?
COBBLER Why sir, cobble you.
FLAVIUS Thou art a cobbler, art thou?
COBBLER Truly sir, all that I live by is with the awl. I meddle with no tradesman's matters, nor women's matters; but withal I am indeed, sir, a surgeon to old shoes: when they are in great danger, I recover them. As proper men as ever trod upon neat's leather have gone upon my handiwork.
FLAVIUS But wherefore art not in thy shop today?
Why dost thou lead these men about the streets?
COBBLER Truly, sir, to wear out their shoes, to get myself into more work. But indeed, sir, we make holiday to see Caesar and to rejoice in his triumph.
MURELLUS Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home?
To grace in captive bonds his chariot wheels?
Made in her concave shores?
And do you now put on your best attire?
And do you now cull out a holiday?
That comes in triumph over Pompey's blood?
That needs must light on this ingratitude.
They vanish tongue-tied in their guiltiness.
If you do find them decked with ceremonies.
MURELLUS May we do so?
You know it is the feast of Lupercal.
So do you too, where you perceive them thick.
CASCA Peace, ho! Caesar speaks.
When he doth run his course. Antonio!
When Caesar says 'Do this' it is performed.
CAESAR Who is it in the press that calls on me?
Cry 'Caesar!' Speak, Caesar is turned to hear.
SOOTHSAYER Beware the Ides of March.
CAESAR What man is that?
BRUTUS A soothsayer bids you beware the Ides of March.
CAESAR Set him before me: let me see his face.
CAESAR What say'st thou to me now? Speak once again.
CAESAR He is a dreamer. Let us leave him: pass.
CASSIUS Will you go see the order of the course?
CASSIUS I pray you do.
Over your friend, that loves you.
Which give some soil, perhaps, to my behaviours.
Have wished that noble Brutus had his eyes.
CASSIUS Ay, do you fear it?
BRUTUS I would not, Cassius, yet I love him well.
And bade him follow: so indeed he did.
And stemming it with hearts of controversy.
For some new honours that are heaped on Caesar.
That her wide walks encompassed but one man?
BRUTUS The games are done, and Caesar is returning.
What hath proceeded worthy note today.
Being crossed in conference by some senators.
CASSIUS Casca will tell us what the matter is.
Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep a-nights.
ANTONY Fear him not, Caesar, he's not dangerous.
He is a noble Roman, and well given.
That could be moved to smile at anything.
Than what I fear, for always I am Caesar.
And tell me truly what thou think'st of him.
CASCA Why, you were with him, were you not?
BRUTUS I should not then ask Casca what had chanced.
CASCA Why, there was a crown offered him; and being offered him, he put it by with the back of his hand, thus, and then the people fell a-shouting.
BRUTUS What was the second noise for?
CASCA Why, for that too.
CASSIUS They shouted thrice: what was the last cry for?
BRUTUS Was the crown offered him thrice?
CASCA Ay, marry, was't, and he put it by thrice, every time gentler than other; and at every putting-by, mine honest neighbours shouted.
CASSIUS Who offered him the crown?
BRUTUS Tell us the manner of it, gentle Casca.

"It's not that easy" was the theme of the day at the Buffalo Curling Club's open house.
The open house began at 10 a.m. on February 24, less than six hours after the U.S. won its first-ever Olympic curling gold medal in PyeongChang.
Enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels packed the former Buffalo China Plant, which has been restored and renovated with four curling sheets. Two stations helped newcomers get used to the shooting motion, two taught them to sweep, and the last four let them fling the stone across the pebbled ice.
Board member James Ricci says every four years during the Winter Olympics he sees a spike in interest in the sport. The club jumped on this year's enthusiasm, and hoped its opening day grabbed the attention of future diehard curlers.

Q: Secure stored procedure update I have stored procedure :
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[myDbProcedure]
@ID int

AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;

IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM [myDB] WHERE @ID = [ID])
UPDATE [myDB]
SET [count] = [count] - 1
, [paymentCount]  = [paymentCount]  + 1
WHERE @ID = [ID]

END

Now I want secure if 100 people at same time update table any information dont missed

A: Don't know if I fully understood what you require:
Begin Tran
    IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM [myDB] WHERE @ID = [ID])
    UPDATE [myDB]
    SET [count] = [count] - 1
    , [paymentCount]  = [paymentCount]  + 1
    WHERE @ID = [ID]
Commit

You can also consider removing the if, once that update will only happen if the register actually exists. This way you'll have just the update which by nature runs in the context of a transaction. Consider looking into isolation levels (from comment: set transaction isolation level serializable).

Pokemon took the world by storm in the 90s. I played Pokemon for the Gameboy Advance SP before the Nintendo DS, XL, or touch screen. That was when Gameboy Advance games worked on the SP and original Gameboy. I played the color version of these games. The color games were introduced with Gameboy Color, but that was for Red and Yellow. Pokemon Gold and Silver began the color versions when they premiered for the Gameboy Color around the late 90s. Later I played Pokemon Diamond.
So, what's the difference between Pokemon Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu, the newest additions on Nintendo Switch, and Pokemon Sun/Moon for DS?
The graphics, movements, characters, and pixel content are distinguishably noticeable in both games. Both are handheld consoles with the addition that the Switch can be played like a regular console with much higher resolutions different from a handheld gaming console. A Nintendo DS is strictly a handheld gaming device.
You notice differences in the cutscenes. Characters often have a circular area in which they rotate during cutscenes. There is always a little bit of a pixelated edge, if you're nose is right up to the device. From the suggested holding distance, the graphics are very good for a handheld.
Pokemon Red/Blue/Green were all originally on the Gameboy. Though they are very hard in good condition, a few used ones are still hanging around. They were pixels basically at that time and looking at where we currently are, prove that the graphics have improved substantially.
Pokemon Yellow was still pixelated, but was in color (sort of). It had yellow rooms, purple rooms, and blue rooms, and in the battles, the different Pokemon were colored.
The price between the two consoles has a $20 difference when bought new. I bought my Pokemon Sun for $34.99—it was, however, several months after its initial release. I bought my Galaxy Nintendo DS for $220, and enjoyed playing it while I had it. Unfortunately, since I got my Switch, I haven't even opened it. That was two years ago. That's not to say the games are good or the console itself isn't good. I have all three console brands and I switch between them frequently.
A new Nintendo Switch Console (currently) costs $300—sometimes listed as $299.99. The Let's Go Eevee game itself costs $49.99 brand new.
I just rented Pokemon Let's Go Eevee for Switch, and I'm excited to play it through myself. I'll most likely purchase it as I am a lover of Pokemon games.
It plays like all the other Pokemon games. You meet Oak. Are you a boy or girl? There are four skin types to choose from at first for both genders. I'm not sure currently if it's like Sun and Moon where you can purchase more clothes or hairstyles/colors from the shops later in the game. In the Eevee game—the one I'm playing—your initial first Pokemon is Eevee. In my personal opinion, Eevee is a much better choice for a first free Pokemon. Depending on the conditions in which it is raised, you can evolve any one of the evolutions of Eevee. I have a Leafeon in Pokemon Sun, which is funny because I was trying for a Vaporeon. Anyway... the gist of the game is the same. Battle the trainers on your way to the towns. Gather the right Pokemon to beat the gym trainers. Brock is your first official gym fight, who has Rock Pokemon, which means you gotta go back and find that Bulbasaur that is for sure lurking in Viridian Forest. Small chance for a shiny, but 35 percent chance of a regular. I ran around for probably 30 minutes before one spawned on the lower part of Viridian Forest. Nice little catch for the beginning part of the game.
Anyway, you choose your gender, your name, and based on the version you're playing, get your first Pokemon. After that, it's pretty much the way it has always been. The only change in hunting for Pokemon are they are clearly visible. No more running through bushes to try to find Pokemon or hope to randomly run up on one. You want one, you'll see it, or you'll wait around until you see it. This means lots of accidental run-ins with Rattata, Pidgeon, and Weedle in your first few locations. After that, I got pretty good at dodging them.
This I understand in a way, but it also made me super mad. I play all my games with the pro controller. I have very small hands, but still can't stand those joy cons for a long period of time. Your only other choices are to play in handheld mode or buy that little Poke Ball controller for $50.
I chose to use my right hand joy con to play, and after a while, my hand was just tired. It was kind of frustrating and liberating. There's something about eating chips and catching Pokemon at the same time that made it okay. After the chips were gone and the lemon La Croix ran out, I was pretty tired of just throwing my one hand around. It made me realize this game is a very casual play. In the same way the Gameboy and Nintendo DS games were. You can just sit back and play, like farming on Harvest Moon; there's no real point to it but it's fun to do.
I've seen it before over and over and over. At least in Pokemon Sun/Moon, there is an actual storyline, but in Let's Go Eevee it has yet to reveal itself. Nonetheless, its the same dialogue, same characters, just better graphics... so far. You name your friend/rival... my is Rin this play through. I always name my Pokemon names after manga characters or anime.
The online feature is only usable if you have access that you pay for to use. It's very frustrating, since with my Nintendo DS I just hooked up to my wi-fi and went from there. Not anymore. I'm not paying $10.99 a month just to swap Pokemon. I have no other games that have specific online features.
The graphics for this game are amazing. They look really good, nothing like on Zelda Breath of the Wild level, but they still look really good. I think they reserve that level just for Zelda.
It's actually easier to find your Pokemon you want to catch. In a way that is kind of dumbed down, it takes away the looking and hunting for a specific Pokemon; however, it's almost like in the wild now. They hide in the tall grass or walk across a bare spot and you have to look for that certain Pokemon to spawn. I actually prefer it to the old style.
Nice that this game can go from console to handheld mode in a snap. Graphics are still great even in handheld and play was smooth. You use the L stick to throw the Poke Ball in handheld mode... easier? Yes.
You can ride certain Pokemon in Sun, but supposedly, there are more options in Let's Go Eevee/Pikachu, and you can choose ANY Pokemon to follow you still. Plus... you can dress your Eevee or Pikachu. Not sure if it applies to other Pokemon, but my Eevee is pretty darn cute.
On the first playthrough, I found the game interesting, fun, and a relaxing thing I can do in my spare time. If you're a mom, it will keep the kiddos busy, and it's a good stress reliever for you... adult people.
Great graphics, good play, nice characters, easy controls, and a good short tutorial. You get right to it pretty quickly.
Rent it first if you're unsure you want to purchase. Gamefly is still just $15.99 for one rental per month to keep it however long you want or return it. I found that's a great way to figure out if these Switch games are worth a buy. I've returned quite a few because of graphics, story, or just disinterest.
Give it a play and see what you think. If you liked previous Pokemon games—Diamond, Sun, and Moon—you will probably like this game. I did. The cuteness overload of Eevee is epic.
Happy writing and may you walk the road less traveled!

Law » Is it Worth Hiring a Lawyer for a DUI Charge?
Is it Worth Hiring a Lawyer for a DUI Charge?
By Benjamin Garfield
Of course, the ultimate decision lies with the individual. But in case you are confused between hiring a lawyer and an attorney, at Meltzer & Bell, P.A., we always recommend a lawyer in a DUI charge. Why? DUI is a criminal offense that involves a court trial followed by a serious penalty. It's a different matter from other traffic rules violations; most of them can be dealt with by a fine. But when it comes to Driving Under Influence, lawyering up is often your best bet.
Also Read: How To Choose Personal Injury Lawyer
Possible Défense Strategies
You have a DUI charge on you now. What next? Find a skilled lawyer. A skilled lawyer will run a thorough analysis of your case either free of charge or for a small fee. Pay it; it's worth the long haul, especially when you take it to court.
The circumstances under which you're arrested may prove invaluable in building a defense. You need to be arrested in compliance with criminal law. This includes the rule that the officer who arrests you tells you that you have the right to remain silent and that anything you say can be held against you. If they don't inform you of this during the arrest, there is a good chance that they don't have a legitimate charge against you in the first place.
Other instances of rule-breaking include a police officer pulling you over without any reason and confiscating evidence from you only to use it against you illegally. If you're subjected to these, you can ask your lawyer to bring them up in court; they'll work in your favor.
Breathalyzers are another element of the arrest to look out for. If the cop uses a faulty machine, you may be wrongfully arrested. Know your rights so that you can stand up for them!
When is it Not Smart to Hire an Attorney?
Are there situations when you can, strangely enough, be better off getting convicted than hiring an attorney? This might be the case if you're getting arrested for the first time under DUI. Provided you haven't injured other people while driving. You can receive a lighter sentence if it's your first arrest. The criminal law in Florida allows for this provision.
In such a case, hiring an attorney or lawyer can ultimately lead to an identical sentence. The lawyer would barely make a difference, and you'll be the poorer for it. Instead, if it's your first time being charged for DUI, consider the possibility of getting convicted; this could save you some opportunity cost. On the other hand, if there is enough room for reasonable doubt, and the lawyer seems capable of building a strong defense, go for it- especially since getting convicted will increase your chances of trouble in the future. Neither option works well in every situation. You need your presence of mind to pick one that suits your circumstances.
How do I Find the Leading Attorneys in Florida?
You may legally opt for defending yourself in court, but there's a good chance that you don't have the required knowledge and acumen to build a convincing case. This is the reason it's usually recommended to hire legal help. Our recommendation? Meltzer & Bell, P.A. Their impressive track record and formidable experience in dealing with DUI cases makes them the ideal candidate for you.
How do you judge whether you're in reliable hands? Two initial parameters to keep in mind are:
How the consultation process goes,
How deeply they evaluate your case.
You're entrusting your future to your lawyer; do not be lenient in your demands. Closely assess their success ratio. See what news and media channels have said about them. If they have impressive client ratings, a list of awards, honors, and certifications, it's a good sign that they will defend you well.
Public Defenders vs. Private Lawyers
If you can't afford a private lawyer or an attorney, the court grants you a public defender who has enough expertise in their field to provide you with adequate support. Here's why they may not be the best option:
You don't get to decide who is assigned to you,
They're often bogged down by a staggering number of cases to defend,
They will not come with you to DMC proceedings unless they're connected to your DUI case and are held in a criminal court.
At the end of the day, a private defender will cost a fortune but serve you best. Go for the alternative only if you have no other choice.

The perpetual calendar is a watch that mechanically keeps track of the days of the month for an extremely long period. The technology in this watch contains information about how many days there are in a month and subsequently shifts through from the last day of the month to the first day of the following month. Making a watch with a perpetual calendar counts as the masterpiece that really puts a craft watch producer on the map. Van der Gang has been working on the project for more than 10 years now. Only a few prominent Swiss and German brands have succeeded in designing and producing a watch that can perpetuate the days of the month in a mechanical way up to the year 2499.
At Van der Gang, we have been working intensively on the development of this complication since 2005. It is an unusual timepiece, which, in addition to the century-long date, includes several more functions, such as leap year, year, month and week number. The perpetual calendar is the result of a now more-than-10-year-long project. Through it, we succeeded in developing beyond our origins as a precision engineering firm to become the first Dutch watch manufacturer to develop its own timepiece technology, as well as the required components, which are crafted in-house on largely specialised equipment.
Initially, we put a lot of time into gathering knowledge of the basic principles and developing techniques in the area of timepiece technology - in particular for the perpetual calendar. In the phase that followed, we built working units based on our developed models in order to test and evaluate the hypothetical operating principles. In a later stage, we purchased special machines to craft the required timepiece components according to the applicable standards. Now, after a range of developmental and manufacturing stages, the first completely functional perpetual calendar has been built. In addition to the perpetual calendar, this model features the month, leap year, year and week number, which have all undergone further development and been realised.
Of course, these manufacturers do not divulge their secrets. It is a major challenge for Van der Gang to pull this off and they are close to doing so. As we speak, a fully-functional working model is being tested.
