MORE THAN 5,000 ACRES IN GREAT EGG HARBOR WATERSHED PRESERVED
Land deal links tens of thousands of acres of preserved Pinelands and coastal habitats
The Department of Environmental Protection in partnership with the New Jersey Pinelands Commission, The Nature Conservancy, and Conservation Resources, Inc., has preserved 5,079 acres of woodlands and wetlands in Atlantic County's Great Egg Harbor River watershed at a cost of $9.7 million.
The DEP's Green Acres program finalized two related land purchases in January 2013, securing 4,970 acres from Lenape Farms and 109 acres from HBH Associates. The more than 5,000-acre project, one of the largest state preservation effort in years, helps link together more than 56,000 acres of previously existing state wildlife management areas, plus thousands of additional acres of county parkland in an area where the Pine Barrens meets a coastal estuary ecosystem.
The property flanks U.S. Route 50 in Estell Manor. The bulk of the property, known as Lenape Farms, contains large expanses of forested uplands that merge into coastal marshlands. The preserved property is now part of a state wildlife management area, providing hunting, fishing, hiking and bird watching opportunities for the public. It will also protect headwaters of Steven's Creek, Gibson's Creek and Mill Creek, which are tributaries to Great Egg Harbor River.
The newly acquired land, which had been used as a private hunting game preserve since the early 1900s and was privately managed for forestry and wildlife purposes for many years, is now the Lenape Farms unit of the Tuckahoe Wildlife Management Area. The public can access the property by foot immediately as the DEP's Division of Fish and Wildlife develops and implements a management plan, which will include formal trail development.
The property provides habitat for a number of wildlife species, including the barred owl, northern pine snake, Pine Barrens tree frog, Cooper's hawk, timber rattlesnake, Cope's gray tree frog, bald eagle, red-headed woodpecker, black rail, osprey, black-crowned night heron and diamondback terrapin.

Posted on March 3, 2014 March 5, 2014 by Debito Arudou Ph.D.
Debito-san, Thanks for your work. This incident happened tonight and we've already put it up on Youtube. Please have a look.
Because I've read your articles, I knew that I did not have to comply, and did not. Thank you and keep up the good work.
What with the supposed 'record number of NJ visitors', the police dept. of tourist popular Tokyo must be feeling under siege from the phantom menace they've created from their own distorted stats. Maybe they fear they are losing control! Tokyo Olympics should be 'great fun'.
I was in Shibuya last night – at this exact spot, in front of the koban – around 7:30pm; passed through with no problems and unimpeded. Looks like this was around 9-9:30, judging by the quick shot of the clock on the plaza.
I will probably pass by again tonight (it's my transit route to and from work, actually), and will be on my guard just in case.
> However, with the abolition of the Foreign Registry Law in 2012, it remains unclear under what law in specific the Japanese police are empowered to ask NJ without probable cause.
I have had the same question since then, too.
Whenever I am stopped, I ask them under which law they are stopping me.
Usually they'll say 職務質問, and the smarter ones may even say 警察官職務[執行]法. At which point I bring out my sumaho with the full text with specific parts highlighted and we read it together. This usually ends the questioning.
Sometimes they will say something vague like 外人法 or 外人登録法 (both more specifically 外国人登録法). And again, I bring out my sumaho with the latest update showing that it was abolished in mid 2012. Again, this generally ends the questions.
There may or may not be a replacement law, but in either case I put the burden of explaining which law on the police office and comply completely with it, but no further.
Ahem, the answer has been right in front of us the whole time.
"Foreigners must carry, but ONLY have to show to officers who are following the Police Duties Law." Grok that VITAL qualifier.
Are we done voluntarily giving up our rights, or is the Police Duties Law somehow too mysterious for us to read?
The Police Duties Law states that police officers can't stop individual without probable cause of an actual crime.
If an officer stops you (an individual protected by the Police Duties Law), show the evidence to the Anzen Koan.
And you CAN legally film police officers, they can't touch you, your property, even your camera, without consent.
If an officer touches you, your property, even your camera, without consent, show the evidence to the Anzen Koan.
There is a spot in Nagoya station where police regularly stop foreigners it is a bit of a bottleneck near the only train that goes to immigration.
usually it is a young policeman/woman with other police using foreigners as training. Then I heard from a friend who taught a policeman that this is the case.
I myself avoid the certain area having been stopped twice already.
My goodness. These young J-cops really need to be re-educated at police academy before they get back on duty again. They do not really understand proper interrogation procedure which is written in police manual.
tourists don't have New Resident Cards, and the police can't stop them because there's no other way to distinguish them from resident aliens. So, why not going for stop-and-frisk those who have foreign-looking faces? At Shibuya!? Horrifying.
So I don't think anything has changed much in that respect.
職務の執行 Police Duties Law states officers can stop you ONLY with reasonable grounds to suspect that a person committed a CRIME.
ihou na shokumu shitsumon desu.
this is an ILLEGAL "Police Duties" Questioning.
Then BOOM, reality time, since they've admitted this is Shokumu Shitsumon, you state the magic Shokumu Shitsumon summary above.
The magic sentence above is the best summary of the PROBABLE CAUSE limiter (thank you law makers) because it says the word CRIME.
See, in the past we mistakenly focused on the weak "suspicious" word, well anyone who looks different is suspicious, that's weak.
Also, it is important to remember that they need to have seen this crime clue BEFORE they initiate the stop. Not after. BEFORE.
So you must be prepared to remind them of this essential order, when they try to imply that your words now give them suspicion.
the big finish of this magic sentence is that without FIRST having seen any CRIME clue the initial stop itself was an ILLEGAL act.
But don't let him off the hook, this public servant just committed an illegal act, he now hopes you (the victim) will slink away.
You need to give a copy to the Anzen Koan (the only group officers fear, the only group which can punish officers) Anzen Koan.
And note: Anzen Koan can only take action IF you have successfully recorded 3 things: his name, number, and… official STATION.
"My name is here, my number is here, that's all you need." Nope, you NEED to record their I.D. which shows the official station.
And yes, they need to pull out their I.D., yes you can record it, yes you can record their face, and no they can't touch your cam.
To summarize: get them to say Shokumu Shitsumon, say the magic summary sentence, film the whole thing plus I.D., show Anzen Koan.
We were keeping ourselves in a mental cage for decades focusing on the "have to show" part, we didn't notice the 職務の執行 limiter.
So, as Bob Marley said, "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery." Now we know, 職務の執行 protects even foreigners, so walk free.
Yes, we always had to carry our ARC cards before, and we always have to carry our Zairyu cards now, but… the SHOWING is limited.
The SHOWING is limited to the rare rare (not gonna' happen) case of a police officer FIRST seeing you commit some crime, get it?
So reading in Scarecrow's quote, I don't see anything related to "probably cause".
You could conclude that item (3) depends on the 「その職務の執行にあたり」 and as such is governed by for example the 警察職務執行法 however then item (4) seems to say unequivocally that there is a requirement to carry and show the 旅券等(including zairyu card) when any of the agents defined in 2 (including police officers) demand that – and in this item there is no mention of 仕組むの執行.
Not really disagreeing with what you posted overall, but there's slightly more to the Police Duties Law Section 2 than what you mentioned. Regardless of having committed a crime or not, the police can stop you for questioning if there's reason to suspect that you may attempt/are attempting to commit a crime. Maybe it's just me, but that kind of feels like an important part.
I can't say how angry it makes me to see videos like this. I've run into this recently myself, and the situation was actually quite scary when the police not only demanded ID, but when I requested theirs, one patted their gun as proof that they were police.
This really needs to be addressed in some manner. I honestly worry about my safety more in regards to dealing with the police (in regards to unjustified detention or violation of rights) than I do criminal activity in Japan.
Huge thanks to people taking these videos and posting them.
Debito, I know there are various laws and interpretations, but I really wonder if there can be some action or some sort of guidance for how to even handle situations like this AFTER such behavior by the police. Behavior I really feel is illegal, and downright harassment.
Again, so glad things like this get out.
Fake police officers. Japan has had those before.
Does anyone remember that Japan Probe carried a story maybe 6(?) years ago about a 'policeman' in Tokyo who was uniformed, and stopping people on the subway and taking their personal information? When the season changed to autumn, but he was still wearing summer uniform, people got suspicious, and he was caught.
— No, I don't remember that case. Anyone want to dig that one up for us?
1. Write down the police officer's badge number, worn on the LEFT chest. It will be in a format such as: AB345. If the officer is in plainclothes, ask for his police ID, in which case the number you want is a 6-digit number right under his photo. IF you use his BADGE number, you must also ask which police station he works at (e.g. Shibuya, Shinjuku, etc.) because the badge number worn is only used internally within that specific station, rather than all of Tokyo Metropolitan Police. HOWEVER, his police ID, which has the 6-digit number, is issued by Tokyo Metropolitan Police and can be used to identify him regardless of what station he works at. Again, get the badge number and station name for uniformed officers, and police ID with 6-digit number under photo for plainclothes officers.
2. Note the date, time, and location of the encounter. Be as accurate and precise as possible.
If the encounter happened outside of Tokyo, for example Chiba Prefecture, you must send your complaint to the public safety commission in that prefecture. I stress that this is a FORMAL complaint and not just a complaint to the officer's supervisor. Though the Public Safety Commission may not side with you, they definitely will question the police officers involved and will not just brush you off. You will get a response from them stating whether they have found inappropriate conduct by the police officers or not.
I also want to stress that you have the right to video record the police because they are public officials doing a public act. If they won't let you record, such as the police in the above video, that's grounds itself for complaining to the Public Safety Commission. And if they try to hide their badge number, or prevent you from writing down their badge number or police ID number, that's grounds for complaint as well. Remember, they are public officials who wear badges displayed to the public and who carry IDs with numbers for the purpose of identifying them. Any police officer who prevents you from recording him, hides his badge or ID number, or prevents you from writing those numbers down is hiding from the public as well as his own employer.
Al, that makes sense, although I don't believe you would have the right to publish it on Facebook or any other public medium without approval, is that correct?
@Al, thank you for posting the procedure, beautiful. But remember, a Todai law grad who fights police illegal actions shared before that there is a relatively unknown catch (which I think is the reason Debito's previous Koan report produced nothing) and the catch is YOU GOTTA' GET THE LOCATION FROM THEIR TECHOU for the Koan to be able to dish out real punishment. Crazy right? I mean, you know the name, you know the number, you know where it happened, right? That should be enough. But we're not dealing with a land of logic, so just go ahead and make the officer show his Techou and grab that supposedly-essential LOCATION as well (I suspect the crooked cops system here even goes as far as having police patrol OUTSIDE of their official Techou location, to prevent the "LOCATION-less" or "wrong LOCATION" Koan reports from going all the way to the penalty stage, see?) Record the Techou.
The officers who are obeying the Police Duties questioning law which says that they can only stop individuals when they have reasonable grounds to suspect that a person committed a CRIME.
Those are the only officers which you have to show to, officers obeying the laws. Not officers on illegal fishing expeditions.
Are you finally realizing why freedom-loving, illegal-police-action refusing, people (both Japanese-citizens – ample video evidence on youtube, if you search for 違法職務質問 in quotes) and non-Japanese-citizens now as well (the evidence above provided directly to Debito by the intelligent righteous Mr. RS) these people are NOT arrested for refusing. They are not tazed. They are not beaten. This is great. This is so much better than L.A.
So, nothing has changed from the ARC law to the Immigration Control Act new amendment, the protection was+is always right there.
Police officers who have reasonable grounds to suspect that you committed a CRIME (meaning they saw you do something illegal) are the ONLY officers who can initiate a Legal Shokumu Shitsumon.
That applies to everyone, both citizens and non-citizens alike. If an officer sees a clue you did something illegal, he can stop you and begin Legal Shokumu Shitsumon.
And if he begins Legal Shokumu Shitsumon, THEN IN THAT CASE, AND ONLY IN THAT CASE, HE IS ONE OF THE OFFICERS MENTIONED ABOVE, AN OFFICER ACTING WITHIN THE LAW, YOU HAD BETTER SHOW YOUR CARD IF HE SAW A CLUE OF A CRIME, because showing is required in this rare rare case of LEGAL Shokumu Shitsumon, according to both the old ARC law and the newly Amended Immigration Control Act.
Conversely, if he begins ILLEGAL Shokumu Shitsumon, then in that case he is NOT one of officers mentioned above, he is an officer acting outside of the law, you don't have to show him I.D., he is on an illegal fishing adventure and as soon as you make it clear that YOU KNOW that random Shokumu Shitsumon is Illegal Shokumu Shitsumon, they "let you go", but again, don't just "let them go", because they just violated your rights as an indivdual. In individual protected by the Police Duties law, and the Police Duties law is even there protecting you in both the old ARC law and the newly Amended Immigration Control Act.
Because even if he saw a clue, even if he then initiated Legal Shokumu Shitsumon, he STILL can't prevent you from leaving unless he arrests you, but he CAN'T arrest you so easily.
A) he gets a warrant from a judge based on the initial clue he saw, good luck with that project, meanwhile you are free to go.
The proof is in the video above. If those Law-breaking camera-touching lying-officers were able to arrest foreigners for refusing, RS would be in jail.
RS is walking free, because he knows the law. The fact that he walked home freely, and sent this evidence to the number one information sharer about human rights in japan, is a wonderful thing.
Now every single human in Japan who reads this has seen for themselves that this crazy poster using an anonymous handle has been telling you the truth: showing is voluntary (unless you were seen with a clue of a crime) carrying is mandatory, showing is voluntary.
But why simply play the "it's voluntary" card and slink away? Film the illegally-acting officer's techou, and get him penalized by the Anzen Koan.
And back to Mumei, I give much respect to you brother for helping me see that first you gotta' get the officer to admit that this stop is Shokumu Shitsumon, right at that start (by asking with a positive demeanor as if you're a cooperator) and when he says yes, start filming with a positive demeanor, ask again, Shokumu Shitsumon desu ka?
You: OK, this video is going to the Anzen Koan. Am I free to go now? I am free to go now. Goodbye. Hello Anzen Koan!
Why not? That's what the "public" in public official means. They are public officials, subject to public scrutiny, in a public medium.
Al, thank you so much for that information. I deeply appreciate it and will file my own complaint.
Anonymous&everyone, thanks for the clarifications.
I was misreading Article 23.4 but realize now that that is about the police officer having to show his ID and now the NJ in question.
The only article relevant is 23.3 which does explicitly say その職務の執行に当たり.
How, or rather does, the 職務質問 law apply to being foreign while cycling?
Both times it has happened to me I got some nonsense reason for being approached, (we're out warning people to be safe because it's snowing/ hey, is there a lock on the back of your bike?) followed by them eventually telling me to wait while they checked the registration.
My understanding is that it's theoretically ok to leave even if they tell you not to if they haven't arrested you. Should this be accurate? I asked both times if it was ok to leave and was told no but that was as far as they went. Even if that's the case, would it be reasonable to assume that they'd then make up a reason to suspect/arrest me? I guess I should film it next time?
What if the police don't even GIVE their ID or information other than their name. I assume that techou could refer to a koban or area? What if I downright have the video of the police actions?
Thank you for posting the video and thanks for all of the great comments. I hoped it would spark interest in the subject and awareness of the lack of clarity in the law.
1 – We didn't greet them until after they approached us. In fact, I'd already walked past the police and was approached from behind.
2 – After we left the crossing (where the vid stops) the two younger policemen approached us again, and we continued the discussion. I asked them what their suspicion of us was and offered to cooperate in their investigation. I even went as far to respectfully ask if there was someone fitting my description who they were after because the dragnet they had set up at Shibuya Crossing could've been for a reason other than racial profiling and I didn't want to screw up an actual criminal investigation. But they admitted that they had no suspicions. I strongly believe that their investigation was simply to stop and question non-Japanese people. In the end I did not identify because I was confident that by law I'm entitled to my privacy unless I'm under suspicion.
3 – Sadly, after speaking with these guys, I was left with the impression that they're unsure of what their goal was and whether or not what they were doing was morally or legally right.
So, this begs the obvious question, if taken to its logical conclusion.
If you consider that there is no crime and your are sure you have not committed any crime (unless of course you have), is it reasonable to simply ignore them and walk away. Since as noted above, if you are 100% sure you have committed no crime, why bother stopping, since they have no "legal" right to stop you?
— Because legality isn't an issue with no evidence. In a "he-said, she-said" situation, the cops almost always win, especially in Japan (they'll simply say that you were "acting suspiciously" by not stopping, once again justifying their action to stop you). That's why you have to film or audio record it.
1. Whether you're 100% sure that you committed no crime is irrelevant. The decision to stop you is their decision, not yours. Otherwise nobody would stop for the police, criminals and non-criminals alike. Whether they had a legal reason to stop you is something to discuss AFTERWARDS, in your complaint. You can, however, refuse to answer any questions and refuse to let them search you without a warrant. Refuse anything that requires your permission. And tell them that you want to leave and that they are holding you against your will.
2. By not stopping, you forfeit your chance to file a proper complaint. Nobody will know that the police tried to stop you for no reason. The low-ranking police officers who tried to stop you will simply think that they might need to get more physical with the next foreigner in order to stop him. The high-ranking officers won't even know about it. Your fight is with the high-ranking officers and officials that allow this crap to take place, not with the low-ranking morons. So stop, get their information, and file your complaint.
Thanks, you confirmed my suspicions.
I just thought it is worth spelling out….
Thanks to Debito and everyone for all the informative comments and discussion. However, I tried reading through all the comments, and in the end I'm left a little bit confused.
I was stopped by the police in Roppongi this December or January, as they were walking down the main street and checking everyone who looked non-Japanese. Many years ago I had a piece of paper with the law that said that they could not ask for my ID without probably cause, which I got from this very site (or via Debito in some way or another). But I lost my walled a couple years ago and didn't replace that paper. Wouldn't you know it, the whole time I carried that paper, I was never stopped, and then this one time I really wanted that paper, of course I didn't have it. Instead, I argued with the cops and gave them the most hard time I could muster, but in the end, I knew I was going to show my gaikokujin card because without the letter of the law on hand for reference, I didn't feel confident enough drawing a harder line.
So, anyway, what I realized is that I should keep a copy of the relevant law as some kind of document in electronic form on my phone. I always have my phone, and if I lose it, I can just restore the document from backup. Maybe keep it on Google Drive or something like that.
But after reading the comments here, I'm a little lost as to what exactly would be the correct text to keep on hand to show the police when the time comes. Can someone with more knowledge than me perhaps break it down to exactly what text I should carry with me in light of all that is discussed here?
Or maybe have a public document that anyone can access from their smartphone? Perhaps Debito.org already has a web page, but it would be good to have something without the whole website template, for quicker access and broader compatibility, so we can easily whip it out and show the cops.
— The old version of the laws paper is linked from here. I am planning on updating it ASAP with the new laws. The "probable cause" section is still the same, as is the requirement of the cop showing ID on request. Details of the new laws are all here within this blog entry, just not collated yet. You can collate it for yourself now if you want to be forearmed for the next time.
A basic question. Why try to make trouble for the police? As the whole world over, the best advice is surely to be polite and cooperative. It doesn't cost anything and certainly gets you on your way again more quickly. Embassy websites are clear with advice if arrested, but I doubt they would recommend antaganising police officers on the street.
Because the police are breaking the law by stopping you without any grounds for suspicion. And because they're breaking the law by not letting you refuse a wallet search. Do you want the police to break the law? Don't you think the police should be held to a higher standard?
You lose all credibility when you start blaming the victim.
Aside from that, we should stand up to unlawful stop and search by the police because it's UNLAWFUL according to Japanese law!
The fact that some cops don't know this should be a national embarrassment.
The fact (as stated on Debito.org before) that the majority of Japanese, when surveyed, replied that they didn't think NJ in Japan should have the same human rights as Japanese, should be a national embarrassment.
The fact (as covered on Debito.org before) that Chief Prosecutors instruct police recruits that 'foreigners have no rights', should be a national embarrassment.
If I stand up for my legal rights when stopped, and you do the same, it will lead to an increased awareness that this is a problem, and the J-police will be forced to (illegally) give us trouble (which will eventually become an international embarrassment with all the NJ stories of mistreatment by J-police), or the J-police will realize that stopping NJ (who know their rights!) is more trouble than it's worth, could lead to a complaint, and therefore could lead to a temporary loss of salary, transfer, or being fired.
Which approach do you think is best?
I don't think that NJ should 'go along to get along' with illegal police activities, it'll only normalize the discrimination, and encourage them to do worse.
Do you know anything about the history of Treblinka? The Nazis were relatively benign acting toward their victims all the way to the gas chambers, the easier to get them there in mass without hassle.
Yes Nazi comparisons are generally bad form, but your comment is so incredibly short-sighted and/or naive I had to drag that one out. If any government official is abusing their power with a citizen they should be held to account and not cooperated with, then cooperating with them aiding and abetting oppression. This right of the inhabitants of any democracy to be free from arbitrary harassment is a keystone of said democracies.
Not that Japan's a democracy, but since they claim to be and have most of the laws and practices in place to make the claim (with notable, and to me, democracy-disqualifying exceptions) holding the police, for one, to account, is win for democracy.
I am of course assuming that you value democracy over a police state. If the latter, point taken.
Not trying to be an apologist here, just keeping it real. Today I witnessed 2 Japanese policeman scoping out an area in Shibuya. One of them was scoping hard. They came to a crossing, then the agressive one tapped his partner and was like "mitsuketa" they had found a target. It was a J dude, sitting down, doing nothing. An interogation went on for about 30 minutes, bag invasion etc. Pretty aggressive stuff, and when I left it was getting more intense. Point is, this is the second time I have seen this; J cops profiling J dudes. Its not only gaijin.
Japanese police do illegal Shokumu Shitsumon to foreign-looking-people and to people in general.
So pointing out, "But I saw a non-foreign-looking person being stopped" disproves nothing, see?
Thanks Mr. Debito for your work and this site. Really interesting stuff, to say the least.
Regarding the second video, I would be very curious to know the circumstances that led up to what is captured. While it must be infuriating to be viewed with suspicion just for being NJ but it doesn't help the gentleman's cause by antagonizing cops. From what I can see the cops are trying to do their best to be polite, trying to reason with him, 'just doing their job' as one suggested a few times, asking for permission in their very Japanese way. The guy carries on like some drunk chimpira wanting a fight.
Not 100% sure but it looks like the NJ taking the video is Caucasian? Japanese are often deferential to Westerners (white folks to be exact) as they know that roughing up one of them may lead to a diplomatic row. If the guy shooting the video was from Cameroon I suspect it would have ended very differently (or maybe we would have never seen a video at all). Definitely 'racial privilege' is a factor here. If you were a black man in the US and you spoke to cops like that you will likely end up dead.
he did not let me record by video or photograph his police badge or ID number.
So I had to make a voice recording.
In the recording I read his name in his badge, number and the police station he belongs to and his voice agreeing what I read.
so I was unable to take the picture of his badge.
If any of you Readers of this blog have some feedback it would be appreciate it!

Remembering, Honoring First Americans to Fight, Die in World War One
MOTT HAVEN, Bronx, NY−Artist Sabin Howard says his Bruckner Boulevard studio in Mott Haven is the perfect place for him to work with his mind and his hands.
Sabin Howard interviewed in his Bronx studio by News12.Sabin is part of a team selected by the United States World War One Centennial Commission to create a giant memorial in Washington, D.C.
"The whole story here is about a soldier that went through World War I, and it's not historically truthful, but it's emotionally truthful," Howard says. "It's a visual narrative, so what I've done is I've created a wall."
A 75-foot wall to be made of Bronze. It tells the story of a man who leaves his family, goes to war and returns home wounded to his wife and daughter.
"As you walk along this wall...you're going to see this story unfold," Howard says.
Howard says the memorial project is the first he's done for public display. It's also going to be one of the longest figurative compositions in the world.
The Centennial Commission says it is "impressed with Sabin's incredible work" on the project.
The rest of his work in a 33-year art career has been for private collectors.

Three fundamental factors in the production of link-building content
One of the most overused phrases in content marketing is how it is an ever-changing landscape, forcing agencies and marketers to adapt and improve their existing processes.
In a short space of time, a topic can go from being newsworthy to negligible, all while certain types of content become tedious to the press and its readers.
A vast amount of the work we do — at Kaizen and many other similar agencies — is create content with the sole purpose of building high authority links, making it all the more imperative that we are conscious of the changes and trends outlined above.
If we were to split the creative process into three sections — content, design, and outreach strategy — how are we able to engineer our own successes and failures to provide us with a framework for future campaigns?
Three important factors for producing link-worthy content
Over the past month, I've analyzed over 120 pieces of content across 16 industries to locate and define the common threads between campaigns that exceed or fall short of their expectations. From the amount of data used and visualized to the importance of effective headline storytelling, the insight is a way of both rationalizing and reshaping our approach to content production.
1. Not too much data — our study showed an average of just over five metrics
Behind every great piece of content is (usually) a unique or noteworthy set of data. Both static and interactive content enables us to display limitless amounts of research which provide the origins of the stories we try to communicate. However many figures or metrics you choose to visualize, there is always a point where a journalist or reader switches off.
This glass ceiling is difficult to pinpoint and depends on the type of content, and the industry or readership you're looking to appeal to, but a more granular study of good and poor performing campaigns that I performed suggested some benefits of refining data sets.
A starting point for any piece of research is the individual metrics, whether it is cost, type, or essentially anything worth measuring and comparing. In my research, in the content campaigns that exceed our typical KPI, there was an average of just over 5 metrics used on each piece compared to almost double in campaigns with either a normal or below satisfactory performance. The graph below shows the correlation between a lower number of metrics and a higher link performance.
An example of these findings in practice can be found in an infographic study completed for online travel retailer Lastminute.com that sought to find the world's most chilled out countries. Following a comprehensive study of 36 countries across 10 metrics, the task was to refine these figures in a way that can be translated well through its design. The number of countries was whittled down to just the top 15, and the metrics were condensed to have four indexes which the rankings were based on. The decision to not showcase the data in its entirety proved fruitful, securing over 50 links, covered by the Mail Online and Lonely Planet.
As an individual who very much enjoys partaking in the research process, it can be extremely difficult to sacrifice any element of your work, but it is that level of tact in the production of content that distinguishes one piece from another.
2. Simple, powerful data visualizations — our analysis showed highest achievers had just one visualization
Regardless of how saturated the content marketing industry becomes, we are graced every year with new and innovative ways of visualizing data. The balancing act between originality in your design and an unnecessarily complex data-visualization is often the point on which success and failure can pivot. As is the case with data, overloading a piece of content with an amass of multi-faceted graphs and charts is a surefire way of alienating your users, leaving them either bored or confused.
For my study, I decided to look at the content that contained data visualizations that failed to hit the mark and see whether the quality is as much of a problem as quantity in terms of design. As I carried out the analysis, I denoted the two examples where one visual would incorporate most or all of the study, or the same illustration was replicated several times for a country, region or sector. For instance, this study, from medical travel insurance provider Get Going, on reliable airlines condenses all the key information into one single data-visualization. Conversely, this piece from The Guardian on the gender pay gap shows how it can be effective to use one visual several times to present your data.
Unsurprisingly, many of the low scorers in my research averaged around eight different forms of data visualizations while high achievers contained just one. The graph below showcases how many data-visualizations are used on average by high and low performing pieces, both static and interactive. Low performing static examples contained an average of just over six, with less than one for their higher-scoring counterparts. For interactive content, the optimum is just over one with poor performing content containing almost nine per piece.
In examples where the same type of graph or chart was used repeatedly, poor performers had approximately 33 per piece, with their more favorable counterparts using just three.
It is important to note that ranking-based pieces often require the repetition of a visual in order to tell a story, but once again this is part of the balancing act for creatives in terms of what type and how many data-visualizations one utilizes.
A fine example of an effective illustration of the data study contained in one visual comes from a 2017 piece by Federica Fragapane for Italian publication La Lettura, showcasing the most violent cities in the world. The chart depicts each city as a shape sized by its homicide rate, with other small indicators defined in the legend to the right of the graphic. The aesthetic qualities of the graph give a campaign, fairly morbid in the topic, an extended appeal beyond the subject of just global crime. While the term "design-led" is so-often thrown around, this example proves how effective it can be to integrate visuals effectively through your data. The piece, produced originally for print, proved hugely successful in the design space, with 18 referring domains from sites such as Visme.co.
3. Pandering to the press — over a third of our published links used the same headline as our pitch email subject line
Kaizen produces hundreds of campaigns on a yearly basis across a range of industries, meaning the task of looking inward is as necessary today as it ever has been. Competition means that press contacts are looking for something extra special to warrant your content's publication. While ingenuity is required in every area of content marketing, it's equally important to recognize the importance of getting the basics right.
The task of outreach can be won and lost in several ways, but your subject line is, and will always be, the most significant component of your pitch. Whether you encapsulate your content in a single sentence or highlight your most attention-worthy finding, an email headline is a laborious but crucial task. My task through my research was to find how vital it is in terms of the end result of achieving coverage.
As part of my analysis, I recorded the backlinks of a sample of our high and average content and recorded the headlines used in the coverage for each campaign. I found in better-performing examples, over a third of links used the same headlines used in our pitch emails, emphasizing the importance of effective storytelling in every area of your PR process. Below is an illustration in the SERPs of how far an effective headline can take you, with example coverage from one of our most successful pieces for TotallyMoney on work/life balance in Europe.
Another area I was keen to investigate, given the time and effort that goes into it, is how press releases are used across the coverage we get. Using scraping software, I was able to pull out the copy from each article where a follow link was achieved and compare it to the press releases we have produced. It was pleasing to see that one in five links contained at least a paragraph of copy used in our press materials. In contrast, just seven percent of the coverage within the lower performing campaigns contained a reference to our press releases, and an even lower four percent using headlines from our email subject lines.
These correlations, similar to the ones discussed previously, suggest not only how vital the execution of basic processes are, but serve as a reminder that a campaign can do well or fall down at so many different points of production. For marketers, analysis of this nature indicates that a refinement of creative operations is a more secure route for your content and its coverage. Don't think of it as "less is more" but a case of picking the right tools for the job at hand.

Say it out loud: Giants are going to win the NFC East after upset vs. Seahawks | 4 thoughts, with praise for Dave Gettleman
Updated Dec 06, 2020; Posted Dec 06, 2020
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - DECEMBER 06: Dexter Lawrence #97, Jabrill Peppers #21 and Isaac Yiadom #27 of the New York Giants celebrate an interception by Darnay Holmes #30 (not pictured) against the Seattle Seahawks during the fourth quarter in the game at Lumen Field on December 06, 2020 in Seattle, Washington.

Just say it out loud. It's time.
The Giants are going to win the NFC East.
Sunday, the Giants pulled off their biggest upset in years, winning 17-12 against a Seahawks team, on the road, that many had pegged as a Super Bowl contender. They did it with Colt McCoy at quarterback, being shut out in the first half and keeping Russell Wilson, and MVP candidate, without a touchdown to his name.

Many declared them dead when they fell to 0-5, and then 1-7. Rightfully so — no team that has started 1-7 has ever made the playoffs, at least dating back to 1920 according to the Pro Football Reference database.
The Giants are 5-7, alone in first place and the rest of the division is a disaster. The Eagles lost to the Packers on Sunday, and few expect Washington to really put up a fight against the undefeated Steelers on Monday night.
The Seahawks game marked the start of an impossible four-game gauntlet for the Giants that doesn't look quite as daunting anymore. The Giants are capable of at least competing with anyone, including the Cardinals, Browns and Ravens, all teams competing to make the playoffs.
Before this four-game winning streak, the Giants had three losses in four games by a combined six points.
This is far from a perfect team. The offense is still confounding at times, and the special teams unit has been a disaster lately, alarming with Joe Judge, a purported special teams guru, the head coach. In the NFC East, you can have question marks at two of the three phases of football and still look like the best team.
The Giants look like the division's best team.
Here are three other thoughts from Sunday's win:
1. Patrick Graham is a star
Don't get it twisted: The Giants are in position to bounce back from a 1-7 start because of their defensive coordinator. Even when the Giants were losing games, the defense was keeping them afloat as the offense struggled to score points.
Graham has taken a group with a few obvious holes — namely at outside linebacker and cornerback — and turned it into one of the NFL's better units, especially over this four-game winning streak.
Sunday, undrafted rookie linebacker Niko Lalos recovered a fumble — one week after getting an interception — and fourth-round pick Darnay Holmes got his first career interception against Wilson.
The Giants have lost their top four outside linebackers to injury (Lorenzo Carter, Oshane Ximines, Kyler Fackrell) and trade (Markus Golden), but no matter. Carter Coughlin, a seventh-round pick, forced a fourth-down incompletion from Wilson on a pressure in the third quarter. Jabaal Sheard, signed off the street earlier this season, has a sack in two straight games. Sixth-round pick Cam Brown pressured Wilson on Sunday.
Graham is creative in his schemes, and his disguises frequently tricked Wilson on Sunday, considered by many to be elite in his football IQ.
Graham is just smarter.
Even better: He's unlocked the potential of two key Dave Gettleman acquisitions — safety Jabrill Peppers and defensive lineman Leonard Williams.
Peppers was flying all over the field in the first half, preventing a touchdown on a pass deflection and sacking Wilson.
Williams had 2.5 sacks, including one that ultimately was the game-winner in the fourth quarter. He's at a career-high 8.5 sacks, and was an absolute force all day against the Seahawks. Dave Gettleman should feel good.
Giants fans should enjoy Graham while they can — he's destined to become a head coach rather quickly.
2. Dave Gettleman deserves credit
There's been plenty to criticize the Giants general manager for the last three years, but it's time to turn the page. Gettleman had the best offseason of his Giants career, and it's paying dividends, finally, in Week 13.
They fell to 1-7 in part because of the way he built the roster the last two years, but they're now 5-7 because of the young talent he found this year, too.
From free agency, James Bradberry looks like an All-Pro at cornerback, and he did a good job stifling D.K. Metcalf on Sunday. Blake Martinez has stabilized the linebacker position. Logan Ryan might be voted into the Pro Bowl at free safety. Kicker Graham Gano missed an extra point on Sunday, but otherwise has been perfect.
In the draft and undrafted free agency, the Giants added Holmes, Lalos, Coughlin, Brown, tackle Matt Peart (third round) and linebacker Tae Crowder (seventh round). All look like pieces. Left tackle Andrew Thomas (fourth overall) has improved drastically since a brutal start, though he still hasn't played at the level of others in his class.
Even cornerback Isaac Yiadom, acquired for a seventh-round before the season, looks like he's worth keeping around.
More than anything, Gettleman appears to have redeemed himself for the Leonard Williams trade from last year. It was a questionable move at the time (still is) but he got Williams in the building, kept him and now it's paying dividends.
At this point, Gettleman likely saved his job.
3. Wayne Train
There was a point toward the end of the second quarter where, deep in their territory, offensive coordinator Jason Garrett opted for three straight hand-offs to Dion Lewis. They failed.
There's a reason why Giants fans were so upset — Wayne Gallman is simply too good to ignore.
His five-game touchdown streak ended on Sunday, and yet he still might've had the best game of his career. In the third quarter, Gallman had rushes of 60, 13 and 23 yards, setting up two Alfred Morris touchdowns. He had the first 100-yard game of his career, though only was at 12 carries deep into the fourth quarter for some reason.
He finished with 16 carries and 135 yards.
Feed Gallman.
4. The bad: Offense and special teams.
Look, Garrett didn't have a lot to work with having McCoy at quarterback. He simply doesn't have the same capabilities — athleticism, arm strength, pocket presence — that Daniel Jones does, so it was always going to restrict what Garrett could do.
But the offense was mostly a mess outside of the big Gallman runs and Morris touchdowns. That's four plays. The rest of the game, the offense was ... meh.
McCoy finished 13 of 22 with 105 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
Buy Giants gear: Fanatics, NFL Shop, Lids
The offense couldn't muster up a single point in the first half. The Giants keep calling plays for tight end Evan Engram, even as he continues to make maddening mistakes. Sunday, a ball hit him in the hands, deflected off and was intercepted by the Seahawks. He had another drop in the fourth quarter.
One of Garrett's worst decisions came when he had Lewis as the only man standing between safety Jamal Adams and McCoy. Adams is the NFL's best blitzing linebacker. He got an easy sack.
Gallman also deserved more than the 16 carries he ended up with.
Also concerning: The special teams performance. Judge came to the Giants with a special teams background, and the last two weeks the group has been an embarrassment.
In Week 12 against the Bengals, they allowed a kickoff touchdown in the first quarter, struggled in punt coverage and failed to stop a fake punt.
In Week 13, Riley Dixon had a punt blocked in the end zone for a safety in the second quarter. On the ensuing punt, the Seahawks returned it 30-plus yards to midfield. In the second half, Gano missed an extra point.
Judge is surely livid about all of that. And he should be.
He should be happy it didn't cost the Giants their biggest win in years.

X-15 Research Results - NASA - America's Space Plane
The North American X-15 was a hypersonic rocket powered aircraft operated by the United States Air Force and NASA as part of the X-plane series of experimental aircraft.
The X-15 set speed and altitude records in the 1960s, reaching the edge of outer space and achieving the highest speed ever recorded by a manned, powered aircraft, in October 1967 when William J. "Pete" Knight flew Mach 6.72 at 102,100 feet (31,120 m), a speed of 4,520 miles per hour (7,274 km/h), has remained unchallenged as of July 2017.
This well written expose delves into what was learned from the X-15 project, lessons essential to Man's escape from our earthy cradle.

Love. It's a nice word isn't it? I wouldn't know what it feels like. I've thought that I loved a few people but some were infatuations of a girl who didn't know better. Love shouldn't hurt. Love shouldn't leave you broken and bloody at the bottom of a flight of stairs.
If someone tells you no one will ever love you the way you are, run as fast as you can from that person. I'm here to tell you that someday someone will.
I didn't run. I listened to the men that told me I wasn't enough. After a while you start to believe it. After years you believe nothing else.
When I did finally run I didn't have the skills most people learn in their younger years to form "normal" relationships. I still picked the worse guy for me in the room. He might have dressed better, had a job, talked intelligently, but there was always something off.
I thought because of my weight the only men that would want me would have to be as damaged as I am. I don't think that's true now. I am skinny now and still alone. I don't put myself out there. It doesn't seem to matter anymore. The thought of trying to make small talk sober frightens me. So I just don't do it. My choice.
I still think about one of them. He was charming, flirted like crazy, and never told the truth if you asked him if he had a girlfriend. I worked for years with him. I still talk to him sometimes. Even though he hurt me emotionally he knew me best. He's still the person I want to run to when something good or bad happens. I don't. He's married now with children. He will still send me the occasional message on Facebook but I try not to engage with him too much. It still hurts. He doesn't even realize how much. He doesn't realize he was the first man to call me "pretty" and the first man I would speak to sober. He would also be the last. After we stopped speaking I set out to try to prove myself. I did this by picking up the cutest guy in the bar. It never lasted for more than a day. I didn't care.
Now that I'm 43 and alone with no children I sometimes want to try again but can't. There's always an excuse. I don't think I have it in me anymore. No one will ever understand what I've been through. I don't expect them to.
There is one difference now. I NEVER let anyone disrespect me anymore. I matter. I'm visible. I deserve the same respect everyone else gets. Even if that means staying alone.

BRENNAN: I'll make a call later in the week
Wed 11 Jul 2018, 07:48 AM
The hamstring injury to Dale Copley has forced Coach Garth Brennan into a change in his outside backs, with Konrad Hurrell the man named to come into the side.
As discussed in the pre-season, both Hurrell and Brenko Lee are normally right sided players but Brennan is yet to make a call on which side the three-quarters will line up on this Sunday at Cbus Super Stadium against the Roosters.
"I'm not sure which side I'll play them on yet," Brennan said.
"It's something I'll play around with this week and see what combinations work."
Another man who has been in the wars this year is back rower, Will Matthews, who was struck in the eye early in the loss to the Broncos.
"He managed to get his sight back pretty well yesterday. It had closed over post-match but he's made some progress. We don't play until the last game on Sunday so I think he should be ok."
Halfback Ash Taylor was put under the microscope during and after his performance on Sunday at Cbus Super Stadium but Brennan was quick to mention he wasn't alone.
"He's just focused on performing at the Titans.
"He wasn't the only one, there we a number of guys off their game. I think young Moeaki was a standout and the rest probably weren't at their best."
Brennan will need to make a call on young five-eighth, AJ Brimson, who could potentially play three games in a seven-day period, after also lining up for the Queensland under-20s side this evening at Suncorp Stadium.
"He knows his body better than anyone else. He wanted to play and I don't want to rule a kid out from representing his state.
"We'll see how he pulls up tomorrow night. We've got Kane (Elgey) there who is a more than capable replacement so I'm sure he'd look to take his opportunity if given the chance."

The Land of the Free 2020
July 4, 2020 by Special Guest
by Charlie Martel aka Tyr Symank
"Now more than ever" is a phrase I've despised since its overuse following the attacks on September 11, 2001. People who weren't even sure they liked being an American on 9/10 were suddenly the most patriotic, flag-waving citizens on 9/12. I was halfway through Special Forces school when we were attacked. While my patriotism may not have been truly tested, I had already proven myself in my ability to volunteer in support of the greater good — as had those around me. Acta non verba. "Now more than ever" feels like the guy that shows up at a funeral crying, claiming to be the deceased's best friend.
In spite of my disdain for this star-spangled catchphrase, I feel I must invigorate it for 2020. We are living in an unprecedented time where everything is questioned for motive or privilege. At the time of writing, I've served in special operations for 20 years, most of it in the National Guard. At that time, I have never had more than a test alert. There have been multiple natural calamities that adjacent units have been activated for. We have largely been left alone from traditional guard call-ups due to our operational tempo within the special operations realm. We are at the half-way mark of 2020 and I have been alerted four times, two with state activations. This is indicative of what you already know: 2020 has been a rough one.
In the last few months, we have witnessed an absolute disintegration of decorum. People behind keyboards spew vile insults at other people behind keyboards that they've never met — all in the name of social justice or patriotic duty, depending on what color they happen to be wearing on their sleeve. Children with more student loans than life experience have spilled into the streets to demand changes to things they know little about, but God forbid they are left out, shouting at men and women in uniform things that would have seemed utterly obscene over a latte just a month earlier. Far-right revolutionaries have found an excuse for murder, and have gone so far right they've circled around to the far left without realizing it. Far-left revolutionaries have effectively neutered major metropolitan police forces under the flag of justice and transformed into murderous police themselves (I'm looking at you CHAZ security). Orwellian pigs wearing pants.
All of this while the nation wears masks in various stages of what-do-we-do-now with a virus that shows no signs of giving us any reprieve or return to normalcy.
Now more than ever, I am proud to wear this flag on my shoulder. In this country, that guy standing next to his socialist councilwoman opposite a police officer shouting, "Kill yourself! Just take that gun out of your holster, put it to your head, and pull the fucking trigger!" is permissible behavior. It is ugly and is not without social consequences, but he is free to say it. Doing this in another nation could result in life imprisonment, or worse. The journalist taking photos of inordinately brutal police activity is free to do so, and his editor is free to publish them. The kid with a cell phone, who may only use it for TikTok and Snapchat has unfettered access to information and truth at the tips of his fingers. The nurse who treats patients with COVID-19 on a daily basis is free to share what she knows and sees, regardless of party lines or national messaging. Now, as the very fabric of our freedoms are being strained and twisted for use by those who would see them abolished — more than ever, I love this country.
We are not perfect, nor were the men who founded the nation. It took 13 years for them to agree on a set of rules that would secure the freedoms we are actively using. It took a tweet to deface and demonize the likeness of those same men. They were not perfect, nor are we. But we are free.
Most of this freedom is taken for granted, as many are blind to how others live. I have seen tyranny. I have seen oppression. I have seen outright racism and discrimination. This isn't it. We are not perfect, but we are free. There is a moral responsibility with this freedom to improve ourselves and our nation, to lift each other up. But we are not obligated to — because we are free. We are free to waste our freedom just as we are free to abuse it. But we are free.
For this reason, for your freedom and mine, I love this country. Happy birthday, America.
Tyr Symank accidentally started writing in 2015 under the accidental pen name of Charlie Martel when Facebook did not believe Tyr was his real name. Tyr/ Charlie has 25 years of service in the Army and Army National Guard. He began his career as a tank crewman, and by a twist of fate, trained and rode horses for the 1st Cavalry Division. He tried out for Special Forces in 1999 and has been in special operations ever since. Tyr has deployed numerous times to Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Korea, and African and Asian countries as both a Green Beret and a civilian. It is hotly debated whether he is best known for his T-Rex impression, successfully amputating a man's leg in a Qalat, or rocking UDT's with an M24 in the Hindu Kush Mountains.
He is currently the manager of strategic partnerships and charitable giving at Black Rifle Coffee Company and a sergeant major in the 19th Special Forces Group. He spends his free time with his family and working on his 4×4 ambulance.

During his 38 years as Emir, the economic transformation of Bahrain into a modern nation and a key financial center in the Persian Gulf area took place.

Rural Manitoba taxpayers spend $250K to find physicians
A quarter million of taxpayer money in Killarney-Turtle Mountain was used to head-hunt and hire two international physicians aiming to solve the community's doctor shortage.
2 physicians from United Kingdom likely to arrive in Killarney-Turtle Mountain later this year
CBC News · Posted: Mar 22, 2016 2:32 PM CT | Last Updated: March 22, 2016
Killarney-Turtle Mountain leaders are hoping they have found doctors who will will stay beyond their four year contract. (CBC)
Civic leaders in the Killarney-Turtle Mountain area banded together and spent $250,000 to recruit and hire two international physicians. Their aim was to solve the community's perennial doctor shortage.
"We've been going short with sporadic, around-the-clock care at our facility now for several years," said Killarney-Turtle Mountain Mayor Rick Pauls, who was part of the 15-member doctor recruitment committee for the southwestern area.

Dr. Robert Martel: We can't ignore 'stark reality' of rural health care
The committee hired a professional executive search company to find physicians who would be interested to live in the community long-term.
"We were selling our community as much as we were their employment opportunity," he said.
Two physicians, one from England and one from Ireland, have been hired. One is likely to arrive in the fall and the other in early winter, Pauls said.
"We specifically chose those two countries because we felt that culturally it would be a good fit to our community," he said.
"By doing it site-specific for us, we think that once they land, they're going to stay," said Killarney-Turtle Mountain Mayor Rick Pauls. (Courtesy of Rick Pauls)
"By doing it site-specific for us, we think that once they land, they're going to stay," he said.
These two new physicians will sign a four-year agreement like other international physicians. He said one doctor has already talked about building a new home and the other has talked about buying one.
"That's something that we never hear from … international medical grads," he said. "They're looking for something to rent and they usually buy a home from Toronto as soon as they land in Canada, they come and put their time in with us. The day that their four years is up, they're gone."
Killarney appealed to the physicians because they wanted to work in a community with at least four other colleagues to spread out their on-call schedule, Pauls said.
The region currently has three full-time and one part-time physicians.
The $250,000 of taxpayer money used to recruit physicians was well worth it, Pauls said.
"This was a win-win for our community."
