With more than 19 years of SEO experience, I am a leading UK SEO consultant who is able to help clients with even the most frustrating issues and ensure that every page on your site is 100% optimised to meet the current requirements of Google.
I can undertake the work for you.
Competitor Intelligence. The backbone to any good campaign is knowing who you are going up against. There is no point in going into any SEO campaign blind.
Keyword Research. With a complete keyword strategy, you can help Google to better understand what your pages are trying to achieve.
AMP. Also known as Accelerated Mobile Pages, AMP is used to deliver pages more quickly and is especially useful for mobile browsers.
Site Architecture. Creating a site architecture that makes sense to Google Bot is imperative as this can help you form silos – defined areas of the site dedicated to a particular product or niche.
Internal Linking & Silos. One of the biggest and most underused factors that Google loves, can help you to create a dedicated flow of targeted signals through to your key pages.
International SEO. Through the use of HREFLANG, country setups, language preferences and translations, I can ensure pages are delivered to the right audiences and remove any possibility of suffering from duplicate content. Read more about how I perform internal linking for SEO here.
Schema & HTML Markup. By providing Google with additional information, you can improve the quality of the search results or even pull in review snippets (stars) from by using aggregate ratings.
Pagination & Canonicalisation. A common stumbling block for many site owners and often caused by plugins or 'out of the box' coded solutions. Difficult to just see and can cause a host of issues.
Keyword & Page Cannibalisation. When you have more than one page that targets the same keyword, you end up with duplication that Google then needs to try and figure out which one to deliver. Sometimes Google doesn't deliver any of them!
Logfile & Crawl Analysis. By understanding exactly what is/isn't being crawled by Googlebot, you can see how much 'crawl budget' is being wasted, improve accessibility, see status codes and much more.
Indexation Issues. If incorrect pages are being indexed or missed by Google, then there are usually very good reasons for this. Sometimes it can be a quick fix, others it is more involved. I can find and correct these problems.
Dynamic URL Management. An issue that plagues many sites that contain a search/filter facility. By not wasting crawl budget and ensuring unnecessary pages are not being indexed, you can often see quick benefits.
Backlink Analysis & Disavowing. By managing a white-hat link building campaign for you, I can assure growth that will benefit your site in numerous ways.
Site Speed. There is nothing more frustrating than a slow website – even worse if you are on a mobile. I can help you speed up your website significantly.

Safety of Humanity Lies in Saving Forests
IndiaWilds Newsletter-Dec 2020
As 2020 comes to a close, people who were slowly taking steps to come out of their covid-19 induced incarceration indoors and travel again were jolted back to mother earth by the news of a new deadly strain of corona virus in UK. Several countries immediately stopped flight service to UK. People were ready to forget Covid-19 as a bad dream. They were emboldened by the news of several vaccines showing more than 90% success rate. People were ready to go back to their materialistic ways where they would continue to wage war against mother nature. Covid-19 strain in UK shows that we can't simply move ahead and live our lives without bringing out systemic changes in the way we live. This reinforces the wise saying that you can't hide your waste under your carpet. It will stink and hit back at you.
Broken Edifice:
We have cut open huge swathes of forests converting them to agricultural fields, human habitations, dams, canals and other projects; drained numerous swamps to convert them into cities; killed wildlife, consumed and traded their meat; we have devastated the pillars holding the natural world in balance. The complex web of inter-linkages between various species and natural systems have been broken.
In nature each species has evolved over millions of years to counteract the impact of other species including viruses. Pathogens jump to a species that is more numerous. Today we homo sapiens are more than 7 billion in population. We have virtually swamped the earth and in the process more easily come in contact with pathogens. And we humans don't have defense against some of the viruses which are lurking in various wildlife species.
Growing population
Zoonotic diseases:
Transmission of diseases from animals to humans can occur through various methods. One of the methods of Zoonotic diseases transmission can be from animals to humans via vectors like mosquitos who bite the animal and then humans. With clearing of trees and vegetation, the vector species like rats don't have any biological predators like owls, shikras, eagles and snakes. Similarly, there are many insect species and mosquitos which proliferate and act as vector species for transmission of diseases from animals to humans. Some pathogens also transmit via air or water that has been contaminated by droplets from animals which contain the viruses. Sourcing water from the common pond used by animals or inhaling the air with droplets containing pathogens is another source. Bush meat is also a big source of zoonotic diseases. These days due to the internet bush meat is readily transported thousands of kilometers to different continents and consumed. These diseases can also directly and indirectly get transmitted to humans via touch or through other contaminated soil, vegetation etc.
Ebola virus disease (EVD) – a contagious, severe and often lethal form of hemorrhagic fever – was first recorded in 1976 in Africa. It had several deadly outbreaks and reached different parts of the world. Scientists studying the deadly Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak concluded that "there are serious shortcomings in capacity to detect, monitor, and respond to infectious diseases outbreak as they occur. Recent advances in diagnostics, risk mapping, mathematical modeling, pathogen genome sequencing, phylogenetics, and phylogeography have the potential to improve substantially the quantity and quality of information available to guide the public health response to outbreaks of all kinds." (Mark E. J. Woolhouse et. al, Science Translational Medicine, 30 Sep 2015, Lessons from Ebola: Improving Infectious disease surveillance to inform outbreak management") https://stm.sciencemag.org/content/7/307/307rv5.full
This resulted in scientists now engaged in monitoring the bats and other vector species in various sites in Africa to find out any new virus. Governments are also engaged in serosurvey to conduct disease surveillance to predict and contain any outbreak of disease.
Disease outbreak & Forest clearance:
Unfortunately, Governments, global institutions as well as people haven't focused on the core issue causing zoonotic disease transmission to humans from animal species. In a 2017 study, scientists used remote sensing techniques and favourability modality centred on 27 EVD outbreak sites and 280 comparable control sites to investigate the association between deforestation in time and space with Ebola outbreaks in Central and West Africa. (Olivero, Jesús et al. "Recent loss of closed forests is associated with Ebola virus disease outbreaks." Scientific reports vol. 7,1 14291. 30 Oct. 2017, doi:10.1038/s41598-017-14727-9). Scientists concluded that "outbreaks located along the limits of the rainforest biome were significantly associated with forest losses within the previous 2 years. This association was strongest for closed forests (>83%), both intact and disturbed, of a range of tree heights (5–>19 m). Our results suggest that the increased probability of an EVD outbreak occurring in a site is linked to recent deforestation events, and that preventing the loss of forests could reduce the likelihood of future outbreaks."
Forests cut down
Given this clear conclusion about Ebola outbreak occurring within two years of significant forest loss observed in rainforest biomes, Governments should be using data to analyse and pinpoint all the areas where forests have been lost either due to legal or illegal means and take actions to monitor the interactions of the locals with the forests and ensure sufficient mitigating steps being taken to reverse the forest loss.
Too often forest loss occurs due to forests being diverted for mining, dams, canals, railways, roads, setting up industrial units and for resettlement of people. Often there is illegal timber logging in forests as demand for wood has skyrocketed. In some cases, vested interests are known to burn down patches of pristine forests so that later they can claim the place to be devoid of wildlife and easily justify diversion for industrial or other non-forest use.
India beware:
In India today our Government appears to be more focused on diverting forests for industrial and other uses. From 1st January 2019 to 6th November 2019, Government had diverted 11467.83 hectares (114.68 square kilometers) of forest land for non forest use. In the month of March, when India was in the midst of a Corona virus induced lockdown, MoEF&CC modified the EIA (Environment Impact Assessment) norms for pharmaceutical companies to waive off the EIA requirement in the name of increasing our capability to manufacture medicines in view of the corona virus. As many as 100 projects were immediately permitted and many more lined up for permission.
India is ranked 168 out of 180 countries in the Global Environmental Performance Index and shares the 168 rank with Ghana. There are only 11 countries below it. Burundi, Haiti, Chad, Solomon Islands, Madagascar, Guinea, Cote d'Ivoire, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Liberia are below India. India is 93 in the Ecosystem Services index which measures tree cover loss, grassland loss and wetland loss. https://epi.yale.edu/epi-results/2020/component/epi
In the Terrestrial biome protection (national weights) category, India is ranked 145 out of 180 countries. This clearly shows India has a long way to go in protecting its wilderness areas and can also play host to an outbreak of virus.
As we are getting ready to step on a new year, it is important to reflect and correct the wrongs that we have done so that we can create a society that is more in sync with nature and reap its benefits. Else, we will can't escape from the vagaries of nature inform of climate change induced extreme weather events like landslides, cyclones, flooding, heat waves as well as future pandemics. There is no way we can survive the wrath of Mother Earth if we continue to decimate our forests.
If we want to be safe, then we have to protect our forests.
Conservation News:
CPCB raises concern on Pollution and Frothing in Yamuna
CPCB has observed froth formation and increase in ammonia levels in river Yamuna because of discharge of untreated sewage, non-operation of existing Sewage Treatment Plants, improper functioning of Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) installed by the industries and Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) located on the banks of river Yamuna.
Monitoring of twenty two drains carried out recently, indicated that fourteen drains (Sonia Vihar, Najafgarh, Shastri Park, Shahdara, etc.) are found untapped, discharging sewage. While five drains are 100% tapped and no flow at downward of interception observed, two drains were found tapped but were overflowing into Yamuna river. One drain (drain no. 14) has no flow at all. Due to partially/untreated discharge of sewage and industrial effluent containing phosphorus, many times, foaming also is observed.
Taking cognizance, CPCB has issued directions to Delhi Jal Board to submit time bound action plan to ensure compliance with norms by STPs and that no untreated sewage is discharged to these drains.
Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has been directed to take action against non-complying Common Effluent Treatment Plans (CETPs) and industrial units. Similar directions have also been issued to State Pollution Control Boards of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.
In view of the importance of the issues, reminders have been issued today to concerned agencies to submit action taken report by 15th December, 2020.
CPCB monitors water quality of River Yamuna and drains discharging into the River. However, it is common knowledge that STPs and CETPs often discharge untreated sewage directly into the river to avoid incurring cost. Most of the times, during night the treatment plants are switched off to cut electricity costs and untreated sewage is discharged. If CPCB takes its role seriously without any compromise then the pollution problem can become much less. However, given the past track record of the state as well as central pollution control boards, the common man doesn't expect much. Lets hope this time CPCB is going to discharge its duties most efficiently and in a proactive manner.
Air Quality Commission directs for 100 percent switching over of industries in Delhi to PNG
The Commission for Air Quality Management in NCR and Adjoining Areas reviewed the progress of switching over of Industries operating in Delhi to Piped Natural Gas with the Government of NCT of Delhi, GAIL and Indraprastha Gas Limited.
About 1644 of Industrial Units spread across 50 industrial areas in Delhi had been identified to switch over to Piped Natural Gas (PNG). Though sizeable number of Industries are using PNG, the Commission stressed the need to switch over to PNG by all identified Industries in Delhi considering the fact that industrial sector is one of the major contributors to air pollution in Delhi and National Capital Region. Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) and Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) were impressed upon to complete the pipeline network, metering and associated infrastructure.
M/s IGL, Delhi Pollution Control Committee and Government of NCT of Delhi were also asked to work in close coordination with the industrial units so as to target completion of infrastructure works and complete switch over to PNG, by all the identified industrial units in Delhi, by 31st January, 2021. DPCC was also directed to inspect and identify the industries using unapproved fuels and to take stringent penal action in case of non-compliances.
The smog in winter is a major problem in the National Capital region. Especially in view of the Covid-19, the impact of air pollution is going to be more harmful. So a speedy transition to piped natural gas would be better in the short run. In the long term, industries need to be moved away from residential areas and metro cities. The Government needs to do long-term planning of our major big cities and towns and ensure that industries move out into designated corridors. However that unfortunately is likely to remain as a piped dream.
Air Quality Commission directs strict enforcement of dust control measures to curb Air Pollution
Dust emanating from the construction and demolition activities continues to be a major source of air pollution throughout the year. Such activities generate significant amount of dust, adversely impacting the Air quality by raising PM2.5 and PM10 levels.
The Commission of Air Quality Management in Delhi-NCR and adjoining areas reviewed the deteriorating air quality situation and has directed strict enforcement of dust control measures to curb air pollution in Delhi-NCR. The Air Quality Commission said that strict action must be taken against violators of construction demolition waste rules and the guidelines. Commission's direction came after it reviewed dust control measures for National Capital Region including NCT of Delhi. The body also issued statutory directions to Central Pollution Control Board and Pollution Control Boards and Delhi Pollution Control Committee to constitute teams for inspection and strict enforcement of dust control measures. The Commission also issued directions to levy environment compensation charge from violators and stoppage of work, prohibition of construction and demolition activities based on extent of violations.
In order to ensure strict compliance of Construction and Demolition Waste Management Rules notified by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and guidelines on dust mitigation measures for handling Construction and Demolition Wastes, the Commission has directed the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), State Pollution Control Boards (SPCBs) of Haryana, Rajasthan, UP and Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) will constitute surprise inspection teams and to furnish fortnightly inspection reports to the Commission regarding compliance of rules with respect to construction and demolition activities in the National Capital Region. We hope that the implementation of the directives of the Air Quality Commission is full proof. Generally due to inefficiency as well as vested interests, the construction lobby continue to illegally carry out demolitions and constructions so the air quality in Delhi and in the National Capital Region remains even worse than Beijing.
Ladakh's Tso Kar Wetland Complex now a Wetland of International Importance
India has added Tso Kar Wetland Complex in Ladakh as its 42nd Ramsar site, which is a second one in the Union Territory (UT) of Ladakh.
The Tso Kar Basin is a high-altitude wetland complex, consisting of two principal waterbodies, Startsapuk Tso, a freshwater lake of about 438 hectares to the south, and Tso Kar itself, a hypersaline lake of 1800 hectares to the north, situated in the Changthang region of Ladakh, India. It is called Tso Kar, meaning white lake, because of the white salt efflorescence found on the margins due to the evaporation of highly saline water.
The Tso Kar Basin is an A1 Category Important Bird Area (IBA) as per Bird Life International and a key staging site in the Central Asian Flyway. The site is also one of the most important breeding areas of the Black-necked Crane (Grus nigricollis) in India. This IBA is also the major breeding area for Great Crested Grebe (Podicepscristatus), Bar-headed Geese (Anserindicus), Ruddy Shelduck (Tadornaferruginea), Brown-headed Gull (Larusbrunnicephalus), Lesser Sand-Plover (Charadriusmongolus) and many other species.
The aim of the Ramsar list is "to develop and maintain an international network of wetlands which are important for the conservation of global biological diversity and for sustaining human life through the maintenance of their ecosystem components, processes and benefits".
Wetlands provide a wide range of important resources and ecosystem services such as food, water, fibre, groundwater recharge, water purification, flood moderation, erosion control and climate regulation. They are, in fact a major source of water and our main supply of freshwater comes from an array of wetlands which help soak rainfall and recharge groundwater. Wetlands hold lot of carbon and those can get released into the atmosphere when they are filled up with mud and debris and reclaimed for human habitations.
The Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change has said that it would be working closely with the UT Wetland Authority to ensure wise use of the Tso Kar wetland complex. We hope MoEF&CC stays true to its words as most of our Ramsar sites are facing lot of neglect and anthropogenic challenges. Recently Sambhar Lake in Rajasthan was in news due to thousands of birds dying. Central Govt. had planned to allow seaplane landing and takeoff in Chilika lake in Odisha which would have threatened the ecological fragility of the lake. Fortunately Odisha Government due to public pressure raised its voice against the disastrous project and the seaplane project was withdrawn. Keoladeo Ghana in Rajasthan often faces challenge as the canals supplying water are blocked by the locals and hence birds don't get the fish to survive. In many years the bird nesting is affected due to paucity of water. Sundarbans wetlands is facing huge anthropogenic challenges. People are reclaiming the land and concretising due to population growth. There is also poaching of prey species like wild pigs and deers. Salinity is also increasing. So simply naming a wetland as Ramsar site doesn't automatically protect and resolve the ecological challenges faced by the place. Government has to show the resolve to walk the talk.

There was a time when man used to relax and rejuvenate in the tranquility of wilderness areas and rejoice in the beauty of its denizens like the brown-winged kingfisher which adorns this issue. The beauty of nature also hides an ugly truth that man's relentless assault on our wilderness areas is resulting in pandemics, higher carbon dioxide in air and the consequent climate change. In these last few days of the year 2020 we hope that people spend some time in rethinking our disastrous anti-environment lifestyles and adopting a greener way forward.

Get Rid of Gophers & Moles Without Killing Them
Gophers are one of the most destructive pests in the country. They can wreak havoc on your lawn and garden, and they are notoriously difficult to get rid of.
While they are considered pests, they can be quite beneficial to your garden. They keep the soil aerated and avoid any insect damage. This article will show you ways of getting rid of them without killing them.
Gophers vs. Moles
How to Get Rid of Gophers and Moles Humanely
1. Use Noise and Sounds
2. Plant Daffodils & Marigolds
3. Eliminate Food Sources
4. Use Fresh Pepper
5. Use Pet Waste
6. Use Vibrating Stakes
7. Catch and Release
8. Use Castor Oil
9. Use Peppermint Oil
10. Use Coffee Grounds
How to Quickly Catch a MOLE in One Day! | Easy with NO TRAPS!
The difference between a gopher and moles is that the gopher has short, round hind feet for digging deep tunnels, whereas a mole's front feet are long and very broad for pushing soil aside as it digs.
Moles also use their teeth to push dirt out of their tunnels while they're digging.
A Gopher
Gophers live near rivers and dig burrows in soft earth next to the water's edge. Moles live on rocky hillsides or coastal regions where tunneling into softer earth would be of little advantage.
Gophers have four toes on each foot; a mole has five toes on its front feet and four on its rear paws.
Some of the humane ways to get rid of gophers and moles without killing them include:
Moles and gophers are sensitive to noises and sounds. The noises that gophers and moles find most unpleasant are high-pitched sounds.
Therefore, using natural noisemakers in your garden, such as wind chimes, is a good approach to bother these pests and get them to leave your grass.
One of the creative ways to do this is to a radio near the burrows.
Daffodils and marigolds are both garden plants that have been used for various purposes for centuries now. While they have been used majorly for esthetic purposes, they are also good in deterring gophers and moles.
Daffodils and marigolds are a great, gentle way to keep moles and gophers away. They are not harmful to them or any other creatures in the region.
They merely force the gophers to move to other places, and because they despise them so much, they are discouraged from coming back.
Such plants are sometimes known as gopher plants and are proper choices for those looking at how to get rid of moles in the yard without killing them.
The best way to get rid of a gopher is through exclusion. This means you need to remove the food source by eliminating their favorite food sources, such as carrots, onions, and potatoes.
When the source of food is eliminated, gophers and moles will naturally move to other places where they can find the food.
Because moles and the organisms they eat prefer wet, shady soil, then you really might want to dry it out a little to reduce the grub as well as earthworm numbers.
Pepper contains capsaicin, which is what makes it so spicy. Gophers don't like this flavor at all, so if you sprinkle some fresh pepper around their burrows or where you think they might show up next time.
If you have a garden you're proud of that's infested with gophers, then one option is to broadcast fresh pepper about 20 feet around your perimeter plants (border plantings) just before dusk on an average evening – they hate it so much they won't come back!
Unknown to many is that gophers and moles do not like the smell of pet waste. While this could be because of the scent's unpleasant smell, it is also most likely because the waste may signify the presence of a predator.
Therefore you can either dig and reach the gopher hole using tools such as hoes, or alternatively train your dog to dig and access the hole.
Once you can access the hole, all you need to do is put in cat or dog waste and cover it. the smell from the pet waste will circulate throughout the gopher and mole burrows forcing them to flee.
There are a number of solar-powered sonic spikes available on the market. Some of these devices have been shown to be effective in deterring both rodents and birds.
The concept is simple: stakes are placed in your backyard and create ultrasonic vibrations, which then scare moles and gophers away. Solar panels enable the vibrators to run effectively without having an external power source connected.
This is a tedious and time-intensive, humane way of getting rid of gophers and moles without killing them.
Catch and release for gophers and moles can be an effective solution for any property owner who wants to get rid of their gopher problem without using harmful chemicals or traps that might accidentally harm other animals in the area.
One method to catch them is setting up a trap by making a hole in the ground with a mound of dirt around it.
You then put some bait in there (apples, squash) and cover it back up with dirt so that only the top is visible to attract gophers or moles when they come looking for food.
Gophers will eat anything from sweet potato to carrots while moles prefer earthworms or grubs (which are often found near molehills). When an animal enters the hole, it is trapped.
After you have successfully caught them, proceed with releasing the animals back into their natural habitat.
Can castor oil be used to get rid of moles and gophers? Yes, castor oil is among the most effective treatments for humanely removing these pests.
To achieve this:
First, combine three parts castor oil and one part soap in a mixing bowl.
Then, take 4 liters of water, add four tablespoons of the mixture into it.
To evict moles, flood the tunnels and entrances, and soak the holes to expel gophers.
Peppermint oil is an essential oil that can also be used to get rid of gophers and ground moles naturally.
Prepare cotton balls,
Dip the cotton balls into a bowl of peppermint oil,
Place the cotton balls at the entrances of the gopher or mole tunnels,
When the smell circulates the burrow network the gophers will be forced to leave.
This is therefore one of the non-invasive, non-lethal, and humane ways of getting rid of the critters.
Coffee grounds are also another non-lethal way of getting rid of gophers from your garden or lawn.
The good thing is that you can use grounds that have already been used to brew coffee. So you do not experience any loss since they were destined to be thrown anyway.
So, what you have to do here is sprinkle some of the grounds into the tunnels. Alternatively, you may also mix them with the soil around the gopher burrows and they would still repel gophers with their strong smell.
You should explore these options before killing healthy animals like gophers. There are plenty of solutions for getting rid of gophers without killing them that may save your garden in the process!
The use of coffee grounds, essential oils, noise and sounds, daffodils and marigolds, or pet waste can all be used in a variety of ways to discourage these pests from infesting your property.

Brexit Proposed tariffs on meat ignore the interests of consumers

The UK's potential gains from trade after Brexit can outweigh the costs, the CCC's newest report finds.
UK Beef
fleischwirtschaft.com — UNITED KINGDOM, London. Responding to the UK government's draft plan to apply tariffs on meat in case of a no-deal Brexit, the Consumer Choice Center reiterated that unilateral tariff liberalisation on agricultural products is vital for making consumers better off. The UK's potential gains from trade after Brexit can outweigh the costs, the CCC's newest report finds.
Maria Chaplia, Media Associate at the Consumer Choice Center, praised the potential drop of import tariffs on citrus fruit, but added that imposing tariffs on meat imports will not only put another burden on British consumers but will also increase the costs of Brexit and send a signal to the rest of the world that post-Brexit Britain will pursue protectionism ahead of consumer interests.
"Along with fish, oil, and fats, meat is one of the few agricultural products exported by the UK. The abolishment of tariffs would have a significant positive impact on low-income households. More specifically, if the UK removes tariffs on meat, the price will decrease by 3.2% as a consequence of a higher supply," said Chaplia. "The UK is a net importer of beef and unilateral liberalisation would have a considerable impact on the domestic market. Opening up the UK market will challenge the meat industry to compete with the rest of the world, which is what the government seeks to protect it from. What is surprising is why the UK government is turning a blind eye to the potential gains for consumers."
"In terms of UK's gains from trade after Brexit, unilateral liberalisation on agricultural products is a clincher. A no-deal Brexit would cost the UK 2.2% of GDP by 2030. However, unilateral liberalisation would help compensate up to 80% of that reduction in real GDP. Before resorting to protectionism, the UK government should consider whether it is the interests of one industry or the long-term benefits for all that matter more," concluded Chaplia.

Apple has joined the effort to educate and encourage voters ahead of the most highly-anticipated midterm elections in recent memory.
This endeavor is the latest in a list of many, like Billy Eichner's Glam Up the Midterms, that seeks to emphasize the importance of the elections and to create proactive voters who won't forget to go to the polls this year.
Clearly, Apple is trying to circumvent another fiasco like the 2016 election, in which (as we now know all too well) fake news ran amok on various social platforms, namely Facebook. Apple plans to avoid the same widespread circulation of misleading and false information by assembling a news lineup drawn from a diverse group of sources by real live human editors, rather than leaving that job to an even-more-fallible algorithm.
The 2018 Midterm Elections section can be accessed through the Apple News app by navigating to the "Top Stories" or "Spotlight" sections or by clicking on the banner at the top of the "For You" tab. An array of special features make this offering unique: On the Ground will take a local look at some of the most high-profile races. The Conversation will provide a variety of perspectives on some, particularly contentious topics. Meanwhile, a weekly piece from Axios will give a rundown of highlights from the news as things heat up, and "Election Now" will review significant figures and projections directly from The Washington Post.
It's an interesting experiment, and it's certainly better than standing by and letting a barrage of inaccurate information sway voters once again. Of course, tangible results remain to be seen until November.
What are your thoughts? Will you tune in to Apple's midterm coverage? Do you even still have the News app on your iPhone? Sound off in the comments below.


There are numerous categories of this online advertising and marketing, a number of which you will be surprised to discover you already use. The primary one is In-Feed advertisements – these ads appear within social media feeds and without delay mimic the appearance of surrounding posts. The second one is Paid seek Listings – these ads appear above natural search effects and appear as though they may be the top seek consequences. The third one is advice Feeds – these widgets offer value via recommending matters which might be similar to what you�re already looking at and may consist of both editorial and native advertisements. any other kind of native ads is Advertorial content – This ultimate type of native advertising merges actual content material with ads through having the author or artist simply paintings the product right into a full piece of content. Usually, the handiest manner to inform these portions other than ordinary content is via the small badge someplace at the web page that reads �advertisement� or something similar.
The reason why native advertising is so useful for visibility reasons is that native ads are often gotten much better by target audiences. They're seen as less of an imposition than popups and other types of advertising, and they're also less likely to struggle with problems like banner loss of sight when it pertains to drawing in a highly disengaged audience. Because native ads don't feel the same as typical marketing, people are more likely to view them and read or consume the material they provide. In traditional marketing, on the other hand, a lot of graphics and text are disregarded, as people can possibly overlook basic ads as part of the sound in their daily environment. This is so true if you have observed.
Native native advertising Platform�s proportion of the net marketplace has been developing dramatically within the past few years; you�ll be hard pressed to know that after carefully mirroring the upward push of social media, Business Insider estimates that Native marketing will incorporate 74% of all online ad revenue with the aid of 2021. Agencies anywhere, which include small corporations, are taking notice. Here�s what you want to recognize.


Over and over again, I hear how hard it is to decorate for tween-age girls. I'm a long ways from that point, but definitely up for an imaginary decorating challenge! When I saw this bedroom by stylist Sarah Gunn featured at House of Turquoise, it seemed like the perfectly decorated solution to the tween girl bedroom dilemma.
There are a lot of great ideas for tween bedroom decor in this bedroom. It's got a fresh color scheme that manages to be full of color without being overwhelming. The furniture is simple, easily transitioning from child to teen. It has some good storage options and fun ways to display projects and interests. And I appreciate the reality of this room: it's a small space (like many of the bedrooms in our own homes) that is packed with style.
Since this is such a great example of a tween girl's bedroom, I went ahead and looked around the web for five ways that you could DIY elements of this room for less. Enjoy!
Pottery Barn sells these patchwork pin boards like hotcakes. My Simple Obsession shares a tutorial for making your own.
Just Keep It Simple shows you how to make funky letters from string similar to the ones in my inspiration photo.
In the bedroom pictured, storage doubles as seating, achieving a more grown-up look than the traditional toy bench. See a tutorial for something similar at Achieving Creative Order.
The side table functioning as a bedside table manages to look super feminine thanks to it's curvy legs. Savvy Young Something gave a similar table a gorgeous update.
I love the coral chevron shade in my inspiration photo. Check out the no-sew tutorial for one at The Remodeled Life.
What's your favorite element in this bedroom? What do you think of the painted ceiling?


The 6' 7" x 10'1" Khyber from Pakistan. This rug is made with handspun wool and natural dyes. Both of these practices give variations to each color in the wool and give the color depth. It also gives the rug and older look and makes it closer to how rug were made over 100 years ago. This rug has a light field and rust border. It has accent colors of teal blue, navy, soft rose and a plum.


Walking back to work from Union Station post office when i'm approached by a young man asking for a quarter. His voice is very uneven.
"No, but I have a dollar coin," and reach into my coat pocket to pull one out and hand it over.
He turns to walk away, then turns back, reaching his arms out to hug me, hesitating at first then continuing forward. I embrace him fully and tell him it's all right.
But it's not all right.
I walk back to my building and step into the elevator going up and I know it's not all right.
I always think of my husband's parents during the holidays. His dad died at 56 and his mom followed just past a year later at 63. That moment you shared with him will mean so much when his grief begins to subside. My husband says you never really get over it, but you do move on, and he really treasures the small kindnesses paid toward him at the time of their deaths.


Discrimination happens to more people than just one race and because of more than just one issue. A person's weight has, oftentimes, caused discrimination and bullying against an individual. Too many times to count, this treatment has resulted in very unfortunate and tragic events such as the incident below.
While it is extremely disheartening that students would bully other students, I want to focus on the adults and parents right now. Personally speaking, I have seen the most disgusting, hateful and grotesque behavior from the adults (parents, Christians, supposed role models and educators) in our county, state and nationally over the last several years. I want you all to think about this. Every time you choose to say horrible things about someone or something in front of your children, write something negative and derogatory on your social media sites, slander people, gossip or text/email negative memes and blurbs about others…….YOUR CHILDREN WITNESS THIS AND MODEL THE BEHAVIOR! The best way to tackle bullying starts with those adults that are most influential to our children: parents, educators and church leaders (to name a few). Our children watch everything that we do. I know my children do. Think about this the next time you open fire on someone or something in front of your kids or somewhere that your kids can access online or on your phone.
With that being said, please pray for this student and her family for peace and healing. None of our kids are as angelic as we would like to believe they are, and they all make mistakes. Encourage your kids to make better choices and be mindful of others' feelings. Bullying has led to suicide for too many students already. One teen has already paid the price for text messages that were viewed as contributing to the suicide of another teen. Don't let your child throw their life away or destroy the life of someone else due to bullying. Just some food for thought today.

Last Friday, British retailer, Marks & Spencer held a live web chat with their customers. According to Marketing, a number of people have complained the Advertising Standards Authority claiming that M&S' star-studded TV campaign is sexist, because of 'Life on Mars' actor Philip Glenister's comment about model Noemie Lenoir "prancing about in her underwear."
This is the second live web-chat M&S has hosted on Facebook. In June customers put questions to M&S' head of sustainable business, Mike Barry, about the retailer's Plan A - M&S' 100-point eco-plan.
McIntosh said: 'Facebook is a fantastic platform for communicating with our customers. It's direct, responsive and popular with almost 100,000 fans of the M&S facebook site.
'We want to hear what customers think of our marketing; what we've done well, what we've done less well and what they want more of,' McIntosh said.
What do you think? Do you believe that this life Facebook will help the retailer?


And if anybody has, have there ever been any issues or anything ?
I'd be so nervous about bringing my boyfriend home - about what he may think, etc.
I'm from a typical working class family..
this is relatively topical because of william/kate I guess, but I'm in this situation at the mo!
Hang on..you asked for opinions and when he gave his, you said he is rude? Okayy, you are good enough for him, everything will be wonderful. End of thread.
Not so fussed about 'class' (it's quite a British thing anyway) - but I'd want her to have at least as much, if not more financial resources and purchasing power than me.
Aside from the crossed out, I'd agree.
For some reason I find it weird a guy wanting a girl with MORE purchasing power. Guess I am old fashioned!
We live in times of gender equality though, right?
Even in modern western societies, many women consider it their fundamental right to only entertain relationships with males with at least as much, if not more financial resources than themselves. Therefore I think it should be perfectly acceptable for a man to think the same way.
I think it totally depends on what we talke the concept of 'class' to be.
I would have absolutely no problem dating somebody very rich or a memeber of the royal family, but I would hate somebody toffy and snobby.
Equally, I wouldn't care if somebody had no money, but if they were rude, lazy and ignorant then I would.
Surely if you like/love the person, then you must already be comfortable with their class. Wealth is a seperate issue.
Do you expect girls to open doors for you?
Class does matter a bit more than people think and one thing I've noticed is females are less likely to 'trade down' in terms of class than males are. Maybe it comes down to education as well, in that middle class girls tend to be well educated and they want a guy at least on their own level if not above, in terms of job prospects etc, I also think women are concerned what their friends will think when they get a new boyfriend, so better to have a guy that's a solicitor or something than works on a building site.
I grew up in a fairly deprived part of Manchester and I have friends who live on a council estate there, basically amongst the lads there a lot of them have the pipedream of 'boning posh totty' but it just doesn't happen for them, even the lads who are good looking and popular with girls on the estate, when they try it on with posher girls who are at uni in Manchester, they get fobbed off, probably because their manners and general way of speech marks them out as being not very well educated, working class council estate lads. But amongst the girls on the estate you get two types, chavvy girls who just get with all the lads on the estate, and other girls who have aspirations, particularly ones who have a kid and want a better future for their baby, they struggle working long hours in the hair salon or creche that they work in etc and to them, the idea of trading up to a boyfriend above their social class is like gold dust, because he offers the chance of moving out, ie he has bigger potential earning power. And you will find some of them getting with guys who are accountants and architects etc.
If they are in front of me - then yes - it is polite for them to do so. Likewise it would be polite for me to open it for a person behind me (regardless of gender) if I was in front of them, no?
E.g. At the beginning of this week I was moving from one flat to another and a woman held the door open for every piece of luggage I had to carry through.
As long as a wealthy upper class girl doesn't go for an illegal immigrant or some African Black migrant working as a public waste disposal technician then it's all ok I think.
What about an Asian/Eastern European migrant???
Why specifically African Black Migrants?
That was just an example to represent all minority migrants in this country.
I am lower class and my boyfriend is middle/upper class.
He went to a private all boys school and I went to a school where kids stabbed their teacher.
He is well off. I have no money (unless I get a goo job after uni).
Yet we have been together over a year. We met at uni and are in love. He is moving away in a few months because he is currently in his final year and he has a job but despite this we are staying together.
We get on very well so the class difference has never really bothered us.
Only problem we have had is that his mum was a little scary to begin with as she has high standards for her son. But I was just polite and respectful of that and now we get on fine. But that could be the case in a same class relationship, meeting the 'rents is always a big deal.
So the answer to your question is; yes different classes can be in good relationships.
You don't mean upper class, they are aristocracy! If you mean upper-middle, you claearly haven't met many upper middle girls, lol.
If two people are that into each other, then yeah why not? Love transcends.
My mum came from an upper-middle class family, my grandad was chief accountant and my nan was an executive secretary they own a very successful business, they have a huge retirement house in the Philippines and a massive one in Florida. All their kids(they have 6; mum is the youngest) went to university and have degrees ranging from Medicine to Nursing to Accounting apart from my two uncles who were both drug addicts and university drop outs. My mum has a degree in Nursing.
My dad came from a middle-middle class family, his dad was an architect in Maryland and his mum died when he was 5. He grew up with his step family. His step-mum being a plain housewife. All my dad's half-brothers and half-sisters went to uni as well. My dad has a Degree in Civil Engineering.
When they both met my mum's family didn't have a problem with my dad in fact they liked him so much because 'he had the means' compared to the husband of my auntie who came from a lower- middle class background even if he has a degree and master's in engineering and have a well paid job. My grandparents didn't accept him. The same thing went to the wives of my two uncles. They came from a working class background and my grandad hates them both. My auntie who is a Chartered Accountant and she was a single mum and met someone who came from a middle-class family as well and my grandparents like him. My other auntie-my mum's oldest sister who is a GP met a guy who came from a lower class is hated so much by my grandparents, my mum, my aunties and uncles.
I am working class but have worked in high end sales jobs! In doing so I met an ex gf through work where she was from a far wealthier back ground due to her father who was a self made very nice man! I looked the part as I dress and act a certain way however when it came to opinions and life experiences it could cause conflict mainly from me feeling patronised easily for my failures from somebody who hadn't experienced too many set backs with essentially life on a plate in comparison! Were talking private education then super car, brand new exclusive address apartment etc etc yet same earnings! This did cause friction and contributed to end of the relationship I had to move home permanently back to my working class town with lifestyle taking a hit significantly! I would say yes unfortunately it can be an issue with compatibility once honeymoon phase goes.


ParisDailyPhoto: The end of "la grève"?
Well, the strikes may be diminishing, but we should be aware of how things change--or don't change due to the new law. I anticipate the effects will be subtle in the short term, but real. The main effects will play out over time.
Still on the scooter in the cold? It is 38 F (3 C) here right now. But much warmer in Paris, I see. Just something else to be jealous about!
J'espere bien—for a return to la vie normale and petrol for Eric's scooter! (Though I doubt we've heard the end of this.) You've been very discreet, Eric, but I hope you love your work and are okay with staying at your job a bit longer.
I can only say: Go on dreaming, we have one of three trains running, we still have no petrol everywhere, the post office is open or closed, the mail is being distributed or not, you get updates or not..... I am glad it works for you though, Eric.
Excellent photo, love the bokeh and your take of a rève!!!
Whatever it is, the end of the strikes or the end of the general dream (which often has to happen one day), I smiled reading you, in the meanwhile, were busy Eric. Hope you do wonderful things. Really.
Good to know that peace is again in the streets. Dreams? Sometimes a general strike is a bad dream but it's necessary.
I'm following Thib winking to you Eric !! And may it be well interpreted by you.
BTW I have to say I had to use your other website http://www.lestrucsdunjournaliste.com/ for a professional reason and I must thank you. I used it with moderation of course but it was very helpful on the 'droit de réponse' subject.


Garden outdoor hanging lanterns include electrical, solar and candle models. Such lights offer gentle illumination and set the mood for parties and gatherings. If you think of garden outdoor hanging lanterns as garden accessories, you will choose the one best suited to your garden and home style and décor.
A lantern style typically includes a closed box with glass side panels and an illumination device in the middle. Such lanterns derive their look from old-fashioned, practical lanterns used to light the way by coachmen of yesteryear. The glass panels surrounding the interior light kept candles and oil lamps lit during battles with the elements and lit the way for people over the centuries. Today, homeowners use such lights as garden accents rather than for practical illumination. Most produce insufficient light for safety or security, and instead should be enjoyed for merely decorative effects.
Electrical hanging garden lanterns resemble Christmas lights in that they usually include many smaller lanterns on a string. Such lanterns may resemble old-fashioned carriage lamps, Asian-inspired lanterns, butterfly lights or create multicolored whimsical effects. Look for sets marked specifically for garden use. Do not use indoor lights outside as the electrical components aren't build to withstand the elements. You may wish to take down the lanterns during the winter and store them inside for added protection, particularly if you live in a climate that gets snow and ice.
Solar hanging garden lanterns are usually hung on a metal spike or crozier-shaped pole in the garden. Each lantern contains a solar cell on the top, so be sure to place such a lantern where sunshine hits the very top. Most major home and garden chains such as Lowe's and Home Depot sell solar garden lanterns in various styles, including hanging styles. You may also be able to affix a bracket to the side of the house, shed or garage to hang a solar garden lantern.
Some outdoor hanging lamps rely on candles for illumination. The lamps are fashioned from metal with glass or heavy-duty plastic inserts. Tea light candles or small votive candles inserted into the central box provide gentle light. The glass or plastic panels keep the wind from blowing out the flames. These hanging garden lights look beautiful and make attractive accents for an evening garden party.
You can find most hanging garden lights at home and garden centers nationwide. Specialty light shops may also carry hanging garden lanterns.
Capitol Lighting offers dozens of unique lanterns and lights that will add style to any patio.
Walmart offers many solar hanging lanterns for the garden or home.
Do you have an electrical outlet near the area where you wish to hang the lights? If not, you must factor in the cost of hiring an electrician to add an outdoor outlet.
If you prefer solar lights, can you place the lights so that the solar cells charge daily? Many solar cells need several uninterrupted hours of direct, bright sunlight to adequately charge. Hanging solar lanterns in the shade won't work.
Do you want the lights as a permanent, season-long fixture, or just for a party? If it's only for a few special occasions, candles might provide the right look at the right price. Conversely, once you install solar lights, they'll turn on every night, regardless of whether you're home or not.
With so many choices for accent lighting, it may be hard to choose garden outdoor hanging lanterns. Consider the options, compare the prices, and think about trying different styles to find the right match for your needs.

Q: How to get the Folder name in Sublime Text Build I'm working in a project and I need every time to check the browser, so I added a build to sublime text that will build the current file i'm working on in the browser "localhost/folder_name/current_file", but its not working properly, here is the code i'm using:
{
    "cmd": [
        "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe",
        "localhost/$folder/$file_name"
    ]
}

So the ($folder) means the folder I'm working on... But in the browser it's showing like this: http://localhost/C:/xampp/htdocs/MyProject/index.php
the $folder is showing the full path of the current file, but I only want the folder name "MyProject" so when I build the file it has to be like this:
http://localhost/MyProject/index.php
How I'm going to do it?
Thank you..

A: Replacing $folder with ${folder/^.*\\\\//} works on windows. Try:
{
    "cmd": [
        "C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe",
        "http://localhost/${folder/^.*\\\\//}/$file_name"
    ]
}

It tries to remove characters up to the last backslash present in $folder.

Pilots pulverize Powell in first round of regionals

Before heading off to Bozeman, Mont., to compete in the American Legion A Northwest Regionals, Ashland Pilots' infielder/pitcher Ethan Schlecht insisted that despite the stakes, he and his teammates would not be intimidated.
Turns out, Schlecht knows his team pretty well.
Billy Hansen went 4-for-5 with three RBIs, Schlecht hit his second home run in three games and Brady Thomas dominated on the mound as Ashland walloped the Powell Pioneers of Wyoming 15-1 in the first round of the regional tournament Friday at Heroes Field.
The Pilots (32-12) scored four runs on four hits, including Schlecht's solo shot, in the third to open up a 6-0 lead, then tacked on seven more in the sixth, three on Hansen's bases-clearing triple, to bury the Pioneers (42-15). The game, scheduled for nine innings, ended after seven by the 10-run mercy rule.
"I'm not surprised that we came out and played really good baseball, but I'm kind of surprised with how many extra-base hits that we had," Ashland head coach Jeff Turner said. "We just attacked them for seven innings. We didn't leave any shadow of doubt, and we haven't really seen that from this team a lot this summer."
Ashland will play tourney host Gallatin Valley in a second-round contest tonight. The first pitch is scheduled to be thrown at 7:30 p.m. local time (6:30 p.m. Pacific). The Outlaws advanced with a 7-2 upset win over the Olympic Tigers of Washington.
With at least two players headed to college on baseball scholarships and a .420 team batting average, the Pioneers looked like a tough draw for the Pilots. But those fears quickly faded as Ashland hammered Powell starter Colter Bostick, a lefty, for eight runs on 13 hits through the first five innings.
In their most explosive offensive performance of the season five Pilots had multiple hits, they ripped 18 as a team and their 2-3-4-5 hitters combined to go a staggering 11-for-17 with six extra-base hits.
"I don't know if (Bostick) was having arm problems, but he didn't have as much velocity as we thought he would," Turner said. "And we just had a really solid approach at the plate."
Hansen had three RBIs and scored three times to lead the way, but he had plenty of help. Brent Hegdahl went 3-for-5 with two doubles, AJ Adams went 3-for-3 with three RBIs in the No. 9 hole, Schlecht went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and Thomas went 2-for-3 with two RBIs.
All that firepower made Thomas' job easier on the mound, but the Ashland High senior-to-be didn't let up. The hard-throwing righty held the Pioneers to one run on six hits, with Powell's only run coming home on a wild pitch in the seventh. He struck out nine and walked two.
"I kept using my fastball and trusting my defense and it worked out great," Thomas said.
After scoring a run in each of the first two innings, the Pilots broke the game open in the third. Schlecht's solo homer came with one out and was followed quickly by a single, a walk and a pair of RBI singles by Jamie Flynn and Evan Westhelle-Grant.
The game got away from Powell in the sixth, when Hansen led off with a double and later added the back-breaking, three-run triple that gave Ashland a 15-0 lead. In between, Thomas and Adams each hit run-scoring singles, and Westhelle-Grant drove in a run with a sacrifice fly.
Bostick was pulled before he was able to get an out in the sixth. His replacement, Josh Cragoe, also took a few lumps, giving up five runs on three hits in one inning of relief.
"The first two innings we thought it was going to be pretty close," Thomas said. "Then we started to figure out that (Bostick) wasn't really throwing much. And then we started going off from there."
