Cleaning Up the Past
The waste may be gone, but the stigma lingers
by D.M. Richardson
Karen and Steve Goewert hopped in the car and headed for a weekend drive in Jefferson County.
Near Arnold, at the intersection of Highway 141 and Gravois Road, the couple discovered a spectacular housing development on one of the most scenic pieces of land they'd ever seen. The sign read, "Romaine Spring Estates."
The development is split-level: One section of home lots dots the top of a leafy ridge; the other lies at its foot on an oval plain cut by a burbling creek, hidden from the road by thick stands of trees. The creek feeds into a small reservoir, next to the site of a planned community clubhouse and swimming pool.
Romaine Spring, the Goewerts were told, was the first upscale housing development to be built in Jefferson County: average house price, $300,000.
One look at the ridge lots and Karen was hooked. These were views to die for, cheap by St. Louis County standards and only about twenty minutes from downtown St. Louis.
Before they knew it, the Goewerts had forked out a $500 deposit and were discussing which housing plan suited them best. "We thought, 'We can't pass this up," Karen recalls.
What they didn't know was that the scenic leafy ridge, with its panoramic views that stretched for miles, was a former federal Superfund site, a cleanup of dioxin contamination supervised by the Environmental Protection Agency. The land had been sprayed by the notorious Russell Bliss of Times Beach fame, whose toxic oil-based cocktail was used on rural roads to control dust. In 1983, the federal government bought the entire town of Times Beach and evacuated residents after uncovering the most calamitous residential contamination in U.S. history. In this case, Bliss had sprayed the Bubbling Springs horse arena -- now the site of the Romaine Spring housing development.
When the Goewerts put down the cash, they had no idea the area had a hazardous history -- they were tipped off by a friend who remembered stories about Bubbling Springs, the dead and dying horses, all poisoned by dioxin-tainted soil.
Karen called the sales agent to find out whether this was true. She says she "was routed around the office until someone finally admitted" that yes, this was another Bliss mess.
Karen's certain the EPA did a fine job with the cleanup. "It's probably safer than my back yard," she jokes.
What bugs her is, she says, is "when were they going to tell us? After we bought the place and spent $300,000?"
Therein lies the gray area between land redevelopment, eager homeowners and the legal system. No federal or state laws outline specifics as to when and how a buyer should be notified of a property's hazardous history. That's because it's a relatively new issue.
Since the Superfund law was passed in 1980, PCBs, dioxin contamination, slag piles of waste leaching their poisons into the soil and other hazardous materials have been the bugaboo of the EPA.
In 1999, the EPA established the Superfund Redevelopment Initiative, a push to redevelop once-hazardous areas and make them habitable.
The SRI is the sunny side of the EPA. The agency uses the phrases "restore community pride" and "enormous potential" and provides "tools for managing liability" while helping transform the toxic into the transcendent.
In California, where once the slag from a lead mine impregnated the earth, is a lush pro golf course. In Denver, a Home Depot sits on land once contaminated with radium. Dioxin-contaminated, flood-damaged Times Beach is gone, replaced by Route 66 State Park.
Of 190 Superfund sites nationwide, 28 are now wildlife centers, 47 are being used for recreational use, eight are agricultural fields and sixteen are being redeveloped into single-family, condominium or assisted-care sites.
In Missouri, eleven EPA response-action sites are now or will be residential areas. All are located in the greater St. Louis area, the EPA reports.
"It's worthwhile to increase people's awareness of former hazardous sites," says Robert Feild, site-project manager for the EPA. "The EPA has returned these properties to productive use. People need to understand that we clean up hundreds of sites, and redevelopment is commonplace. We've learned a lot since 1980."
When it comes to redevelopment, former toxic waste sites might make better business parks than bedroom communities.
"We're working up against a mindset," says Melissa Friedland of the Office of Emergency and Remedial Response in Washington, D.C. "For people to think of the land as anything [but contaminated], it could take years."
In legal terms, it's called "stigma damage." Although there may not be laws that spell out specifics to developers on how and when to disclose information, court judgments have been rendered under current laws regarding fraud and misrepresentation.
"It used to be a case of 'Buyer beware,'" says Joan M. Swartz, an environmental and real-estate lawyer in St. Louis County. "But I think the courts have gotten more strict on this issue. They recently nailed a seller for fraud for not disclosing."
Families who purchased homes in Turnberry Place in the early 1990s later learned the subdivision was among several housing developments building on one of Bliss' dioxin-contaminated properties. In 1994, a jury ordered a real-estate firm to pay more than $500,000 to seven homebuyers who sued.
"The Realtor and developer knew the property had a history; they got together and agreed not to tell the homebuyers," Swartz says.
An appeals judge ruled on behalf of the homeowners and affirmed the award of punitive damages.
In the absence of a specific legal how-to in selling redeveloped land, developers walk a fine line.
Mike Lawless, president of Lawless Homes Inc., one of three developers at Romaine Springs, asks buyers to sign a disclosure statement at the time of closing. He says he encourages sales agents to be "up-front and honest." He has also posted a sign in the sales office. And if someone asks, Lawless will provide an EPA report -- all of which may, or may not be, enough.
"The question should be 'Is the information enough?" Swartz says. "Does the buyer understand the documents? Did they give the buyer enough advance notice? Did they have enough time to question the information?"
At least a few homeowners didn't get much time to understand or get specific information about the situation at Romaine Springs. One couple was not told until closing; another was told about the dioxin but was assured by the sales agent that the biggest portion of the problem lay a mile or so down the road.
When another homeowner obtained a copy of the EPA report, after moving into his home, he was more than a little concerned. He interpreted the report to say that the water supply and bedrock were still contaminated. Although the EPA says this is not true, the homeowner was alarmed to learn that contaminated soil had stood in huts on the property until 1999.
The EPA cleanup at Romaine Springs meets "unrestricted use" specifications, Feild says. He has gone to the site himself to test the water. So has the developer, just to make sure.
Many homeowners in the Romaine Springs say they're not bothered by what happened some twenty years ago.
"These are people trying to get over stigma of cleanup," Feild says, "and property values are returning to fair market value for many of these sites."
Lawless Homes owns about 50 percent of the lots in Romaine Springs. Of 40 home sales, only one buyer has backed out because of the property's dioxin history, Lawless says.
"I've heard the other builders grumble that customers get cold feet," says Nan Antonacci, director of sales for Lawless. "We've not had any problems."
From an EPA perspective, it's important to restore these sites into habitable properties. And although the EPA is eager to redevelop the land, homeowners are anxious to live in more rural environments and the courts are catching up, there is one element of the equation that law cannot dictate: human nature.
Once the Goewerts found out about the dioxin, and in light of the way the agent handled the sale, they asked for their $500 back. The couple was worried not about contamination but about the investment. They figured the property might not have the resale punch it could because it was a former Superfund site.
"You know," Karen says in exasperation, "when you buy a house, you ask all the usual questions, like, 'Is it on a floodplain?' But we never figured one of them was 'Has it ever been contaminated with dioxin?'"

Eleventh-inning walk-off caps comeback win
CRESTWOOD, IL – After trailing 5-0 in the fifth inning, the ThunderBolts scored six unanswered runs, including an RBI hit from Shane Carrier in the bottom of the 11th to beat the Joliet Slammers 6-5 at Ozinga Field Wednesday afternoon.
The Slammers (4-8) jumped in front with two runs in the second inning. Ridge Hoopii-Haslam doubled and scored on an error and Jose Camacho, who had singled, was brought home by Trey Fulton's sacrifice fly.
They added three more runs in the fifth inning. London Lindley, Brian Parreira and Riley Krane each had RBI singles.
Although they had six hits through the first four innings, the ThunderBolts (5-7) didn't score until the fifth, when they loaded the bases with no outs. Blair Beck brought home two runs on a double and Randy Perez doubled in one more.
Tyler Alamo led off the seventh inning with a solo home run to cut the deficit to one and Dash Winningham began the eighth inning with a solo blast of his own to tie the score at five.
The bullpen helped facilitate the comeback by not allowing a run over the final seven innings. Austin Jones struck out nine over four innings and Eddie Avila and Dylan Prohoroff combined for three hitless innings.
In the bottom of the 11th, with Tyler Straub beginning the inning at second base, Carrier hit a line drive to center field that dropped in, allowing Straub to score the game-winning run.
Prohoroff (1-0) pitched a perfect 11th for the win and Drew Peden (0-2) allowed an unearned run over two innings for the loss.
The ThunderBolts go for the sweep on Thursday morning with the fifth School Day of the year and another 10:35 start time. Tyler Thornton (0-0, 0.00) starts for the ThunderBolts against Joliet's Keegan Long (1-0, 3.27). Fans not in attendance can hear the radio broadcast on WXAV, 88.3 FM and wxav.com.


Every month we are dedicated to rummaging the inner regions of the web in search of that underground alternative urban music and serving it directly to music lovers. This initiative is what we call "The Slice" at EARMILK. Every fortnight we share with you 10 ear-grabbing songs from genres ranging from hip-hop, grime, soul, afrobeat/pop and dancehall. So let us do the digging for you while you sit back and relax to some brilliantly crafted music from around the globe.
North London singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kat Deal helps launch this week's list with her lush RnB jam "Cologne". Backed by an infectious groove and dreamy soundscape courtesy of producer Baker Aaron, Kat Deal delivers a commanding vocal performance laced with sultry undertones. Her take on being madly in love is energetic as she expressively breaks down every single detail that revolves around the individual and as she puts it "…It's like a temporary but happy madness, and that's what 'Cologne' has tried to capture".
"Cologne" is the first single from her forthcoming debut EP, which is set to be released in February 2019.
Donnie Raven – "Vapor Trail".
Donnie Raven faces his demons on his new song "Vapor Trail". The rapper addresses personal struggles with addiction and ultimately decides to clear his head and go sober. Over a neck-snapping backdrop, he takes the listener along for a ride into sobriety. The visuals add a vivid feel into the situation by showing the exact moment where he decided to confront his addiction, a decision that has kept him clean for almost two years now.
"Vapor Trail" is off his recently released debut EP 'Livelihood'.
Columbus based emcee Tieran shares his frustrations and challenges when it comes to balancing his life and music on his new song "Sick". On the self-produced song, he employs the use of solemn piano chords and a laid-back groove which serves as the perfect canvas for his emotion-laden lyrics. The video shows Tieran being chauffeured by an invisible driver while he is dressed in a hospital gown. Quite vivid and symbolic if you asked us.
Chuuwee & Trizz – "See Today"
Chuuwee & Trizz release the music video for "See Today" off their new album AmeriKKa's Most Blunted 3.' The video sees the two rhymers doing what they do best as they soak in the West Coast sun. The track spits smooth poetic lyricism alongside warm, sun-soaked beats. It feels like a walk in the park for the duo as they show us how they get down on this part of the U.S where it's all sunny and laid back.
ChampionsLeak – "TooTurnt" ft. Radiiio.
Producer duo ChampionsLeak team up with Roc Nation singer/writer Radiiio on their newest RnB banger "Too Turnt". The duo made up of German Lulou (Loules) and Choukri craft an upbeat, lush banger for Radiiio's rich vocal style that invokes anthemic 80s vibes and then some. Like the title suggest, this tune is definitely something to crank the volume to the max to.
Straight out of Paris, Bordeaux born singer/rapper Rita Klara blends the world of high-fashion, wine culture, and music. "Lush" is the sophomore single from her debut 'Fancy Love' EP and on it, she shows a whole new skill set as a rapper. Over a mellow, lo-fi styled backdrop she delivers a unique hushed flow laced with her love for all things classy and it works like a charm. She is currently working with Canadian producer SAGII.
Silent Dust (ft Terror) "$$$"
Drum 'n Bass duo Silent Dust team up with emcee Terror on this dark, gripping single titled "$$$". The beat here is so cinematic and surreal that it's hard to ignore but on the flipside, Terror brings a whole new vibe with his passionate flow and vivid lyrical content. His style ebbs and flows to emphasize his lyrics and he also adds some little melodies and inflections to spice things up.
The Tribe Of Good – "Turning It Up For The Sunshine"
We head to London, UK with the music collective called The Tribe Of Good as they lace us with some good old funk on their new single "Turning It Up For The Sunshine". The energetic jam exudes that classic hip-hop production from start to finish with driving rhythms and grooving bass lines. Besides the feel-good vibes, the message being conveyed is meant to pump the positivity to the max and keep out any negativity far from the vicinity. The collective is headed up by Grammy-nominated producer Hal Ritson (The Young Punx, Duke Dumont, Cassius, High Contrast, Kanye West, Katy Perry), Michele Balduzzi (Phonat – OWSLA), Rich 'Fiasco' Adlam (Nas, Cee Lo, Taylor Swift) and Thomas Gandey (Southern Fried, Suara).
F.Y.I. – " Boom" (produced by !llMind).
LA emcee F.Y.I takes us back to the grit with some headbanger boogie titled "Boom". He taps the production skills of the one and only !llMind who cooks up a cinematic backdrop for the young emcee to go full retard over. He brings the big guns on this one as he decimates the beats with multis, sharp metaphors and an unprecedented array of wordplay to boot.
He says the inspiration behind the track was to let everyone know that true school hip-hop is far from being dead.
Eddy Mufasa – "No Problem"
Togolese rapper Eddy Mufasa takes it easy in the video for his laid-back, trap jam titled "No Problem" (Produced by K!ck'F ). The bi-lingual emcee flows effortlessly with a smooth demeanor as he switches from English to Ewé" (the language of his country of birth Togo). The Peter Marvu directed visual follows him around several spots from the barbershop, African supermarkets and to the street corners where he does his thing. Mufasa is in his element as long as he's rapping.
astralblak – "Wanna Be Saved"
Electrosoul collective ZULUZULUU returns with a new name and now go by the moniker Astralblak and their new single sets a whole new precedence for the group. "Wanna Be Saved" is a soul-drenched, hip-hop cut that blends the best of both worlds with soothing melodies and dense lyrics.
vice souletric – "Stayin Out The Way"
Rapper and producer Vice Souletric teams up with Skyzoo for the vibrant single "Stayin' Out The Way". The self-produced cut utilizes a classic guitar riff and head nodding drums as the two rappers go back to back with solid verses.
Ova Wise – "Me & You"
Canada based Ghanian act Ova Wise dishes out some afro-wave flavor on his new track titled "Me & You". He blends the worlds of rap, R&B, and Afro-pop. He takes some time to shower praises on the lady that caught his eye. The visual is crisp and fun-filled with so many unorthodox set pieces but overall it is pretty entertaining.
Andrew Bigs delivers a nice mix of jazz and hip-hop with the release of his new $anchez produced single titled "Squeeze". He brings in a couple of talents such as Mike Deuce who plays the sax and Lena Nelson who adds some soothing melodies over the vibrant soundscape. This is pure feel-good music with a heavy jazz influence.
If you dug what you heard, you can revisit our previous episodes of "The Slice" here.

Have every teacher submit a 'Student of the Week' at the end of the first week of school. Read those names over the PA system, in the cafeteria, across your school's video system, etc.
Recognize every teacher in the building for one positive thing during the first week of school, at an end-of-week staff meeting, or through an all-staff email. Have a staff social at the end of the first Friday to appreciate teachers and shout each other out. People love being cared and provided for!
During the first week of school, select five students to shout out teachers that they had a great interaction with. Have these students speak out during morning announcements or write their shout-outs on posters and post outside of that teacher's classroom. Be sure to also post on social media if your school has a Facebook page or Twitter handle!
Celebrate attendance in some capacity during the first week of school. Be intentional about celebrating which classes have perfect attendance or meet the percentage goal for attendance. Take time now before school starts to plan and communicate attendance-related incentives!
Have each teacher make a positive phone call or text home about each student in their class during the first week of school. Similarly, give five blank postcards to every staff member to complete for one student per day filled with positive comments, welcome messages, etc. Send to families at the end of the week!
Have the oldest grade at your school provide the youngest grade with motivation such as notes of encouragement or clapping as they walk through the hallways to their classroom for the first time.
Celebrate data wins during the first week of school and communicate progress towards your goals such as number of teachers meeting the instructional expectations for a certain subject, or number of reading logs/ summer homework turned in.
For schools of a manageable size, have one piece of student work posted on the hallway walls from every student by the end of the first week of school.
Consider a Spirit Day on the first Friday of the school week where every child wears school colors. The class with the most school colors wins breakfast with the principal/school leaders (or a reward of your choice). Each class should take a photo together and these should be posted on the school's website and/or social media page.
Hold a beginning of the school year Pep Rally to celebrate goals and gains from testing from the previous year (i.e. students that performed high on spring testing, growth charts that celebrate every kid that grew, etc.) and if you have a marching band, consider having them play through the school hallways with a varsity athlete/captain of each sports team. Or, during the first home sporting event, throw a barbecue for your students and staff.
Whether you celebrate each day of the first week of school or prepare intentionally for the end of the first week, effective school leaders plan out how to boost morale and create a positive school culture from the beginning to set the students and staff up for success throughout the school year. If you have more ideas, please comment below to share with your fellow educators!

Sarah Pekkanen (These Girls)
Best-selling author Jodi Picoult calls Sarah Pekkanen's third novel, These Girls (Washington Square Press, 2012), "at turns bittersweet, laugh-out-loud funny, and painfully real"—in other words, the perfect beach read. The book tells the stories of three women who work at a high-end lifestyle magazine in New York City and "packs a big surprise at the end," Pekkanen says.
The Bethesda Magazine columnist and Chevy Chase resident likes to write about the complexity of women's relationships, but says none of her work is autobiographical. "I take bits and pieces of conversations with friends and feed them through a kaleidoscope to form my characters," the 45-year-old says. Her fourth novel, The Best of Us, will be published in April. Just in time to take to the beach.

Janelle Monae attends the 22nd Annual Hollywood Film Awards. Getty Images
In a new interview with Billboard in anticipation for the publication's Women In Music ceremony, Janelle Monae sat down to discuss her beginnings as a musician and her transition into the ground-breaking, unapologetic artist we see today. The Wondaland artist will receive the "Trailblazer Award" at tonight's ceremony (Dec. 6).
When discussing her critically-acclaimed album Dirty Computer, Monae divulged that her intention when making the project was to ensure that many groups felt seen and heard. Two of the groups highlighted in the body of work were the LGBT community and black women, both of which Monae is a part of.
"I felt a big responsibility to create a community with this album, my concerts and my film [the "emotion picture" paired with the album]," she explained. "It felt like people I care about and groups I'm in — from the LGBT community to being a black woman to being from working-class parents — were being pushed to the margins of society. With songs like 'Django Jane' and 'Make Me Feel' and 'PYNK,' I wanted to be as bold as possible in making statements around agency, around women's bodies and rights — us taking back the mic and letting you know that you don't own us and we won't be controlled."
Here's What Yung Miami Said About Meeting Diddy's Mother And Family
Monae also explains that her desire to maintain "imagination in a world full of cynics" is one of the keys to her success, stating that she never compromised her creativity to sell records.
"Even when I was an independent artist selling CDs out of my trunk and working for my cousin doing taxes or at Office Depot and Sam's Club, I was still saying 'no,'" she details. "There were opportunities that even some of my closest family members and friends would look at me like, 'Girl, you are crazy. You need to get in that music video. Be an extra in this film. You need to become famous.' But I have always kept at my core the ability to have creative control."
Her creative freedom and independence have gained her fans and admirers the world over, including Diddy. Monae explains that the mogul was an early supporter, and although she could have been one of his protégées, she said he was respectful of her creative vision, and allowed her to fly on her own.
"I was scared to be partnering with a major label after a few years of being independent," she notes. "I met Puff at a time I had decided to live frugally. Like a lot of people, I thought, 'OK, he's going to have a conversation around how he can groom me into being another sort of artist.' But when I spoke to him, his words were, 'I love what you and Wondaland are doing. I don't want to be creatively involved. I just want people to know who you are and what you guys are doing. You guys are down here in this basement in Atlanta, and the rest of the world deserves to hear you.' It was so humbling and beautiful. We're still close."

The only scorer for Ashton was Thomas Jackson who converted a penalty.

Government to proceed with new child maintenance compliance and arrears strategy
General approval from respondents for proposals in consultation document
The Department for Work and Pensions has announced that it will proceed with a new compliance and arrears strategy proposed in its recent consultation document. It is intended implement any necessary changes to secondary legislation this autumn.
The DWP says that it has received broad endorsement for the key principles which will underpin the new strategy, which will:
Continue to prioritise collecting money for today's children.
Continue to encourage collaboration between parents.
Build on the success of CMS by introducing tougher new enforcement measures and making the best use of current powers.
Address historic arrears built up under the CSA schemes by offering a final chance at collection where this is possible at a reasonable cost to the taxpayer.
Avoid taxpayers funding activity that won't result in money going to children.
The overall response to the proposals for improving the calculation of child maintenance liabilities was positive. There was a call for steps to be taken to include unearned income automatically when initially calculating a liability, as with historic income. As this would not be achievable without changes to primary legislation, the DWP has begun to explore with Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs ways to speed up the current process for sharing the relevant unearned income data they hold.
Respondents offered a range of views on the proposed new power to allow the CMS to derive a notional income from an asset for the purpose of varying a calculation. There was no clear consensus on the applicable percentage rate to derive a notional income or the minimum value of assets this should be applied to. The DWP has therefore opted to proceed with the 8% rate proposed in line with the Judgment Debts (rate of interest) Order 1993 and will set the minimum aggregate value of assets at £31,250. This, the DWP says, allows it to align its overall approach with how it handles unearned income, and best balances the interests of all parties. There will also be legal safeguards to ensure this new power only targets appropriate assets.
Respondents were generally in favour of the proposal to extend the government's ability to make deductions from benefits to include Universal Credit (UC) for those with earnings who are liable to pay flat rate maintenance. It is intended to introduce new regulations to allow it to make these deductions at the rate of £8.40 a week, aligning the treatment of these clients with others in a similar situation. Deductions from benefit will be extended so that arrears can be collected when on-going maintenance ends.
The DWP had already announced an intention to introduce new powers to make deductions from jointly held accounts, and this consultation sought views on a proposal to extend this to jointly held and unlimited liability partnership business accounts. The proposals will be amended to reflect concerns that there needed to be safeguards to prevent third party funds from being subject to deduction. This means that as well as the proposed representation periods of 28 days for Lump Sum Deduction Orders (LSDOs) and 14 days for Regular Deduction Orders (RDOs) the last six months' bank statements will be checked to establish ownership of funds before progressing the order. Where this is not possible there will be an rebuttable assumption that 50% of the funds in the account belongs to the paying parent.
The proposal to introduce a new power to confiscate passports from those who repeatedly refuse to meet their child maintenance obligations was well received. Regulations will provide that the ban can be revoked or reduced where full and part payment of the arrears covered by the disqualification order is made.

We may still be wrapped up in the dramatic cliff-hanger ending of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, but one of its stars, Alexis Bledel, has already moved on to her next role — and it's NOTHING like Rory Gilmore. Set to appear in Hulu's new retelling of Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, Alexis is about to appear in a way that you've never seen her before.
Starring Elisabeth Moss as Offred, the tale takes place in the dystopia of Gilead, where the few fertile women are forced into reproductive servitude. Alexis will play Ofglen, a handmaid and companion of the main character. First seemingly pious and a strict rule-follower, there is much more to this handmaiden than you could ever imagine.
And while we're already thrilled by the fact that Elizabeth Moss and Alexis are on board, the rest of the team is just as wildly impressive. Those already confirmed include Joseph Fiennes, Chuck's Yvonne Strahovski, Orange Is the New Black's Samira Wiley and Madeline Brewer, The Mindy Project's Max Minghella and The Leftovers' Ann Dowd and O-T Fagbenle. Wowza.
Excited? Then be sure to catch the first 10-episode season of The Handmaid's Tale on Wednesday, April 26 on Hulu.

What started out as an accident, turned out to be a fun little experiment. At Build 2011, I was taking shots in 5fps burst mode. Then, reviewing the photos half-way through the conference in rapid succession, it began to look like a stop-motion video. So, from that point, I took photos in this way almost as a documentary. The whole video chronicles the 5 days of Build.
The intro, however, I orchestrated by sketching out the words, in as close to the logo font as I could, and then tracing them and taking around 190 photos at various intervals. It's deliberately bouncy.

CEO at Wikhotel 360
CEO of Wikhotel Technologies, Karim brings you the latest trends and his analysis of the latest news of the hospitality industry.

When the result of a search is displayed on a search engine such as Google, the ranking of the pages displayed is influenced by specific data: the quality of the meta description tag. The latter plays a leading role in the natural referencing of your company's website, which will be more visible to potential customers by highlighting a call to action micro-content and can generate conversions.
What is a meta description tag?
The meta description tag is an element that aims to describe in a few lines (160 characters on Google) the content of your website. It matches the snippet that appears under the content titles on the Google search engine. It contains keywords for which you want to optimize a page and informs search engines as well as Internet users of the content of the page.
The importance of the meta description tag
Serving as a business card for your website on search engine pages such as Google, the meta description tag should reflect the key information of your business that deserves to be highlighted. It must make potential customers want to click on your website's link without, nonetheless, giving them too much, because in that case they will not click on the link and will be content with the information on the meta description tag displayed.
How to optimize the meta description tag?
First of all, it is important to respect the constraints imposed by Google and do not exceed the maximum authorized size. Do not exceed 160 characters in order to avoid any risk of losing content and consequently losing its meaning. Then, regarding the content of the meta description tag itself, insert the main keywords associated with your web page in order to be in line with what the end user expects, but also to keep a coherence in relation to Google. Compliance with these two rules will improve the attractiveness of your website which will see its CTR (Click Through Rate) improve, and consequently so will its natural referencing.
In conclusion, we can easily say that the quality of a meta description tag can affect the traffic and productivity of your hotel website. However, taking into account key elements in its development can definitely make a difference in the performance of your website, which implies a total relevance of its content.
WIKHOTEL360 offers a Digital Marketing service to partner companies. Its IQ 360 solution includes marketing campaigns designed to provide hotels with maximum visibility on search engines and metasearch in order to attract highly qualified traffic from potential customers to the brand.com.

The news has been dominated by Bent's medical at Fulham but there have been some other interesting articles posted today. First of all Aston Villa have rejected the chance to take former midfielder Gareth Barry on loan. The 32-year old midfielder has fallen down the pecking order after the arrival of Fernandinho and by the fact that new boss Pellegrini doesn't rate the England midfielder. With the midfielder's contract soon, Man. City have offered Barry back to his former club. There were a few rumours earlier in the year about a potential transfer to Aston Villa, but that never materialised. The same thing is going to happen again. Aston Villa have rejected the offer.
Next bit of news is rather positive, during the international friendlies, Arsenal's right-back Sagna has picked up an injury. This means that Arsenal only have 4 fit senior defenders. Vermaelen and Nacho are also out injured, but the injury worries don't stop there, Arteta and Cazorla are injury doubts. Arsenal have endured a frustrating transfer window, missing out on many transfer targets such as Higuain, Saurez and Jovetic. I'm not by any means complaining that our first opponent of the Premier League season has been weakened, but it has given me a fresh air of optimism for the first game of our Premier League campaign. Perhaps we can pull out a draw or even, a win!
Alan Hutton is still hoping for a move away from Aston Villa, last night he played in Scotland's 3-2 loss to England. He hopes that his performance will be enough to earn him a move away from Aston Villa. He has proved that he is match fit after playing all 90 minutes of yesterday's game. He has had loan spells at both Nottingham Forest and Real Mallorca. I hope he moves on, I think that he can still pick up his career after his unsuccessful spell at Aston Villa. Hutton was asked about his plans for the future:
"To play out there [Wembley] was brilliant for me; this is what I want to do week in, week out.
"I've been training hard back at Villa, I had a time over in Spain which I loved so we'll see what the new season brings."
"I'm just keeping my head down at the moment working hard and I'll see what happens."

RE:Next Gen, I remember just after we won it last year that UEFA said only club's in CL should be in it, so there we go, we are Villa and we stand together because everyone else could not give two shits .

Officials soon found the plane wreckage, and have now announced that they have identified the player's body.

It has just been announced that Sala's body has now been identified, though the circumstances surrounding the crash remain a mystery.
Surinam Airways Flight 764 - On June 7, 1989, PY 764 flight from Schiphol, Netherlands, crashed while flying to Paramaribo near the Surinamese village of Zanderij, killing 178 people. Only 11 people and a dog survived. It is still the largest aircraft disaster in Suriname history.

Superga air disaster - On May 4, 1949, an aircraft transporting the players from Torino FC crashed after trying to land in terrible weather.
Mourning - At that time, Torino was known as the best team in Italy, and also formed the backbone of the Italian national soccer team. After the crash, the team was declared champion at the request of the opponents, their fifth straight Scudetto.

Time stood still - Every year, a memorial is held at the soccer stadium Old Trafford, where the team played its home games. The clock at the entrance of the stadium also remains frozen at 3:04 pm, the time of the crash.
Zambia national soccer team plane crash - On April 27, 1993, the entire national team of Zambia was killed in an airplane crash off the coast of Gabon, near the capital Libreville.
Cause - The pilot was suffering from fatigue, which may have led him to shutting down the wrong engine after the left engine had caught fire, causing the plane to crash.

Rumors - There are many rumors surrounding the accident. During the investigation into the cause of the disaster, the navy completely excluded itself from the press and refused to release the results of the investigation, reportedly to hide their negligence concerning the plane.
Club de Deportes Green Cross - The Chilean team had its saddest day on April 3, 1961.
Andes - The club lost some of its players during an air disaster in the Chilean Andes, which killed 24 people. In 1984, the team merged with the local soccer team Deportes Temuco.

The family of a Texas man who was shot and killed last year is using an interstate highway billboard to garner new information that could lead to arrests.
John Martinez was gunned down by three men outside his home in Houston on Oct. 13, 2012, KHOU reports.
After Martinez's murder, 50-year-old Criss Knight was killed 28 days later with the same gun, leaving detectives to believe the cases may be linked. Witnesses say Knight's killers fled the scene of that shooting in a black pickup truck, which is one of the few leads in the case, KHOU reports.
The Martinez family billboard, which is along I-45, offers a $5,000 reward for information related to the case.


i've setup a cronjob to update (at 2:05 am) my awstats installation but i can't get it to work properly.
it's on one line and obviously username and mysite is replaced by the actual values. the strange thing is that it doesn't seem to read the logfiles unless i'm logged in when the cronjob is running. if i'm not logged in it runs (i know since it updates the timestamp on the report) but it shows 0 visitors. if i log in 5 minutes later and change the cronjob to run in a minute or two, it works. all of a sudden i have a bunch of visitors (not just me checking the awstats page). anyone have any hints to what might be wrong?

For some time now there has been talk that the U.K.'s major publishers need to collaborate in some way to compete with the likes of Facebook and Google. The case is obvious -- ad revenue has been migrating to platforms that have managed the impressive con trick of persuading content creators to provide them with material at a fraction of its worth. Various attempts have been made -- there was the much-publicised Project Juno which kept changing its name as publishers dropped out -- but none has really made it.

THE LAST WORD: Resurgence of measles makes strong case against anti-vaccination sentiment
Kerry Hubartt
khubartt@news-sentinel.com
Because of vaccines, measles was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000. Vaccinations against diseases are considered one of the greatest public health achievements in history.
All 50 states have enacted compulsory childhood vaccination laws to stop the spread of preventable diseases. The medical, social and economic benefits, they realized, far outweigh the unavoidable risks of vaccinations.
So why have more than 700 people in 22 states contracted measles this year, including one person in Indiana?
One reason is that the disease is still common in many other countries with lower vaccination rates, and unvaccinated U.S. travelers to those countries may be exposed to the virus. The biggest reason is that too many people in this country in the current era have not been vaccinated to prevent contracting the disease.
Many people today have never witnessed the debilitating diseases that vaccines protect against, and that may have led to complacency toward immunization requirements.
A recent editorial in the South Bend Tribune pointed out another reason for the resurgence of the measles. It referenced a statement from a Purdue University professor earlier this year that vaccine rates started to decline in the U.S. shortly after the declaration of the elimination of measles in 2000 because of a fabricated study linking the measles, mumps and rubella vaccination to autism.
"People make unfounded allegations about the side effects of vaccinations without any supporting medical evidence," the Tribune declared. "The rumors get picked up and spread across the internet, which only adds to the problem."
Anti-vaccination sentiment in the U.S. has continued to grow, due largely to the controversial and hotly disputed link between immunizations and autism. That has made controlling such diseases through immunization more difficult for health officials.
Indiana Health Commissioner Kris Box issued a statewide standing order last week stating that adults do not need to see a health care provider to get a prescription for the measles, mumps and rubella and that they can get the MMR vaccine from any pharmacy that carries it.
"Vaccination is the best way to prevent the spread of this highly contagious disease," Box stated in a news release, "and we want to remove any barriers that may prevent Hoosiers from being protected during this nationwide outbreak."
Box says people should be up-to-date on MMR vaccine, especially before international travel.
There was one confirmed case of measles in Indiana in 2018, and the Indiana State Department of Health said another case was recently confirmed in someone who recently spent time in LaGrange and Steuben counties in northeast Indiana.
The Tribune editorial reported that the number of measles cases in Michigan this year has climbed to 39 — the highest number there since 65 cases were reported in 1991.
Nationally, the number of measles cases reported so far this year is the highest in the U.S. since 1994.
Those of us who were born before 1957 are considered immune to measles because virtually everyone born before that year likely contracted the disease. But those born later need immunizations to prevent the disease from a resurgence in this country. The Center for Disease Control says 9 out of 10 unvaccinated people will contract measles if exposed to the virus.
The CDC says one dose of measles vaccine is about 93 percent effective at preventing measles if exposed to the virus. Two doses are about 97 percent effective.
The state health department says Hoosiers wanting to get vaccinated may contact a pharmacy to ensure vaccine is available and inform the pharmacist that they will be using the state health commissioner's standing order. Vaccine costs will be billed to insurance.
The Allen County Department of Health operates an immunization clinic where vaccines are offered to children, teens and adults for the most common vaccine-preventable diseases. Call (260) 449-7504 for more information
"Even one case of a disease that had largely disappeared is too many," said Box, "and our hope is that this proactive step will help prevent additional cases in Indiana."
When a potentially deadly disease is spread to others by an unvaccinated person, doesn't that make it a public health issue? And, if so, should that supersede the right of a person to decide not to be vaccinated? The debate goes on.

Aishwarya Rai has been given notices by the revenue authorities.. for non-payment of land tax
Nashik Tehsildar has sent notices to Bollywood senior heroine Aishwarya Rai. Aishwarya Rai has one hectare of land in Sinnar under Nashik. Revenue officials have sent notices to Aishwarya Roy's house saying that land tax has not been paid for that land. Do you know how much land tax Aishwarya Rai has to pay? Rs. 21,970 only. Should the netizens send notices to Aishwarya Rai for this small amount? They are making jokes.
Not only for Aishwarya Rai.. Many people who have lands in Sinnar have not paid the land tax for the last one year. With that, the revenue officials sent notices to about 1200 land owners. According to the revenue officials, about Rs.1.11 crore tax is pending in this order. Revenue officials informed that Aishwarya Roy has been issued a notice under Section 174 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Act, 1966.
After receiving the notices, the revenue officials mentioned that the tax amount should be paid within 10 days. Otherwise, legal action will be taken. Among those who have received these notices are some Bollywood celebrities and businessmen. The revenue officials say that once in the past, these 1200 people were reminded about land tax.
Aishwarya Rai made a comeback with last year's Ponniyan Selvan-1. Directed by Mani Ratnam, this movie became a hit. Aisharya Roy in the role of Nandini captivated the audience with her beauty and acting. In this momentum, Mani Ratnam is also working on Ponnayan Selvan-2. There is talk that Aishwarya Rai's role will be given more importance in this sequel.
There is talk in the industry that Aishwarya Rai is currently taking a remuneration of Rs.5-6 crores per film. However, the chances of this 49-year-old actress in Bollywood have decreased. With that, this former beauty queen is trying again to set foot in South India. In this sequence, Ponniyan Selvan is also acting. Although three heroines in the form of Trisha, Sobhita Dhulipala and Aishwarya Lakshmi acted in Ponnian Selvan-1, Aishwarya got a good name.

Waiz is scheduled to land in Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport at 12:35pm and is supposed to be greeted by officials from relevant agencies, including Airnav Bali, Pertamina, and Biomantara, according to Uzone.


What Happens When You Drink Water After Waking Up?
If you're trying to boost your metabolism to burn more calories and lose weight quicker, you've probably heard that you should drink water first thing in the morning. Curious as to whether or not drinking water upon waking up could drastically impact our metabolism, POPSUGAR spoke with Sarah Greenfield, RD, CSSD, the director of nutrition at HUM, and Alex Caspero, MA, RD, CLT, RYT, a HUM nutritionist. "A quicker metabolism means your body is able to process energy or calories more efficiently. When you can process energy efficiently, less is stored in your body and more is used to fuel the body," Sarah told POPSUGAR.
When it comes to drinking water for that added boost, Sarah said, "It may help you cut out some additional calories throughout your day, but it will not help you burn more calories." According to Alex, water doesn't provide any energy and therefore will not affect your metabolism. Sarah said that drinking water in the morning can help you stay more hydrated and be in touch with both your hunger and satiety cues, but that's about it.
The best way to boost your metabolism is to increase your muscle mass, said Sarah. Alex agreed, stating that the best thing you can do to boost your metabolism is to exercise. "Muscle cells are more metabolically active than fat. What that means is your body will be burning more calories at rest the more muscle mass it has," Sarah explained. The leaner body tissue (muscle mass) you have in your body, the more you're able to burn calories without having to do anything, Alex said. "That means that adding more muscle can increase your resting metabolic rate — how many calories you burn each day outside of activity."
So there you have it. If you're looking to really speed your metabolism, it's time to start picking up the weights. Here's a four-week beginner weightlifting plan to get you started.

2021 Braves player review: Ian Anderson
Anderson wowed, and then got derailed by injury
By Ivan the Great Dec 4, 2021, 2:00pm EST
Share All sharing options for: 2021 Braves player review: Ian Anderson
Set Number: X163853 TK1
When Ian Anderson made his debut in 2020, it was the beginning of his monumental lift of the team's pitching amidst a rotation falling to pieces around him. He kept on keeping on during the first half of the 2021 season, giving the Braves better-than-solid pitching while the team scuffled. Unfortunately, in mid-July, it was Ian Anderson's turn to suffer a pitching-related malady, as a shoulder ailment kept him out of action for weeks. He struggled when he returned, but eventually righted the ship and was a big part of the Braves' postseason success.
Ian Anderson was drafted with the third overall pick in the 2016 draft. At the time he was taken, he was described alternatively as either a reach of a pick, or a key part of a draft strategy that featured him as a means to an end moreso than deserving of the pick in his own right. That always seemed a little strange, since presumably he could've been a worthwhile third overall pick and an effective enabler of a particular strategy, and he made the "reach" moniker look silly in retrospect as he breezed through the minors and made his major league debut in his age-22 season.
Expectations and Projections
Ian Anderson was super-good across 10 total starts in 2020, including six in the regular season and four in the playoffs. He put up 1.1 fWAR in just 32 1⁄3 regular season innings (lol 6.8 fWAR/200), and his postseason FIP (and ERA) were actually better than what he managed in the regular season. His xFIP suggested that he was benefiting from fly balls not leaving the yard, which he was, considering he had a 4.5 percent HR/FB during the homer-happy 2020 season, and didn't allow a longball in the playoffs that year, but even so, a 78/92 regular season/postseason pair of xFIP- marks is nothing to sneeze at, unless you're allergic to awesome.
As a result, Anderson was getting above-average hurler projections before the 2021 season began, with both Steamer and ZiPS seeing him as a 3.0ish WAR/200 guy, albeit not one that was going to reach 200 innings, given that he hadn't even come close to 150 professional frames in a year before. Instead, they saw him as getting around 2 WAR in 2021, in around 120 innings.
Guess what? Ian Anderson got around 2 WAR in 2021, in around 120 innings. 1.9 fWAR in 128 1⁄3 innings, to be precise.
Behold! Ian Anderson's career! (Postseason performance in yellow.)
Anderson basically cruised through the first half of the season, throwing up FIPs of 3.62 / 3.79 / 2.27 across April, May, and June, with xFIPs of 3.13, 3.71, and 3.24, basically outperforming the 2020 version of himself by a bit xFIP-wise. Results-wise, he garnered a bunch of WPA in those three months, had nearly twice as many starts with a Game Score (v2) above 50 as below, and had only one results clunker in 15 outings.
But then, disaster struck, and in more ways than one. Anderson's first two July starts had fine results, but two of his three worst xFIPs of the season. Whether related or not, things came to a head on July 11, which ended up being, to that point, Anderson's worst-ever start. He was clearly unable to pitch like he had been, and while the Braves left him out there for a tough-to-explain 17 batters, he was toast and then hit the shelf with shoulder inflammation, where he'd stay until the last few days of August.
When Anderson returned, he still did not look right. He stifled the Giants for 5 2⁄3 scoreless in his first start back, but it came with an 0/2 K/BB ratio, and his worst xFIP of the season aside from the start he left injured. His next outing, at Coors Field, was a disaster, with an 0/4 K/BB ratio, which remains the worst start of his career. Anderson seemed to rebound after that, putting up a 2.90 xFIP in his next three starts, although one included the Giants taking him deep three times, a career high (worst). Comparing heatmaps from his pre-injury outings against everything that came after, it looks like the post-injury struggles really had to do with diminished changeup and curveball location; the changeup location and consistency improved a ton after his two no-strikeout efforts immediately after returning.
What went right? What went wrong?
Up until July, things mostly just went right for Anderson. And even though things went wrong and plagued his July, August, and early September with absence or ineffectiveness, he still rebounded to have a strong overall pitching line and mostly kept runs off the board in the postseason.
While pretty much every granular metric fell back from 2020 levels, that's not too much of a concern for Anderson. After all, 2020 was a small sample of extreme effectiveness, and Anderson showed some improvements in the command of all his pitches (when he wasn't hurt). His curve and changeup didn't have whiff rates of nearly 40 percent in 2021, but they still both got misses on over a third of swings opposing batters took. It's hard to say what really serves as evidence for "hitters were more prepared" for a pitcher's stuff, but that kind of seems like what happened with Anderson in 2021 — yet he maintained above-average performance anyway, even as hitters swung at a bunch more of his strikes.
The biggest issue was just that same bane of pitcher performance overall — arm injury. Anderson wasn't mangled as badly as some others — after all, shoulder injuries are terrifying, and his only cost him weeks instead of most of a season, but it still dented his overall production a fair bit and forced the Braves to scramble for further rotation options.
Road to the Title
Naturally, Anderson was a huge part of the team's success in both the regular season and postseason, finishing with positive WPA and cWPA in each. He totaled 15.05% cWPA in the playoffs, with most of that coming as a result of his five scoreless, no-hit frames (4/3 K/BB ratio) in Game 3 of the World Series, in a game the Braves won 2-0.
Not that Anderson was a stranger to dominant outings during the season, or anything. One that stands out was his attempt to duel Zack Wheeler on June 10: while the Braves eventually lost the game due to a real bad bullpen implosion, Anderson threw seven scoreless, keeping them in it as Wheeler threw eight shutout frames and struck out 12 of Anderson's compatriots.
Ian Anderson is still in the league-minimum portion of his earnings scale, and will return to the Atlanta rotation for 2022 with some pretty solid expectations. Steamer currently projects him as, once again, a 3 WAR-per-200-innings arm, but only able to rack up about 160-170 frames. That makes perfect sense given what we've seen out of Anderson so far, and the question for him will be whether he can find some kind of edge to improve on that baseline. Anderson has a fairly unorthodox approach to pitching, so it's not clear exactly what avenues he has to improve, but even if he just keeps putting up numbers akin to the first 160 frames of his major league career, that'll still be pretty awesome, given that he's racked up 3 fWAR in that period.
