The first of these quotes is from South Korean carmaker Hyundai Motor Company (HMC), which this month launched the Nexo, its brand new hydrogen car, or, to be precise, hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (FCV).
The second is from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a renowned disser of hydrogen as a vehicle fuel.
Brave or stupid? A fine and subjective line separates the two, and it's this line that currently divides green transport nerds on the question of hydrogen-fueled cars and their makers.
To H2 advocates, Toyota, HMC and Honda — the main carmakers pushing FCV models today — are brave and visionary. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, they point out. Cars running on it emit only water (by combining hydrogen with oxygen to create H2O). And, unlike battery electric vehicles (BEVs) such as Tesla cars, FCVs don't require large batteries, which pose problems of disposal because of all the pollutants they contain.
Advocates claim that a coordinated push from the auto industry, government and fuel suppliers is all that's needed to build viable networks of hydrogen filling stations and begin a new energy era.
But hydrogen's detractors are quick to smack down such claims, drawing on a long list of facts and figures to explain why it will never make sense as a vehicle fuel.
"Hydrogen fuel cell cars are a dead end from a technological, practical and climate perspective," wrote Joseph Romm, a former U.S. Department of Energy assistant secretary, citing reasons including the huge energy losses incurred in the process of producing hydrogen in the first place.
Indeed, though FCVs have been around since the late 1950s, sales worldwide have remained minimal, even in recent years as BEV sales took off. Recent reports cite total global sales of hydrogen FCVs since 2013 as "inching close to 6,500," compared to 1,223,600 BEVs sold worldwide in 2017 alone.
In South Korea, the Ministry of Environment counted a total of 310 hydrogen vehicles in circulation as of March 2017. Media reports claimed that HMC had received 1,164 orders for its new Nexo FCV as of Apr. 4 this year, but the company did not confirm this at the time of publication.
If your eco-friendly vehicle technology is being trashed by Treehugger.com, you know you're in trouble. Yet some of the world's leading carmakers are persisting with it.
South Korea's HMC has been developing fuel cell technology since the early 1990s, and released the Nexo, its first vehicle to be produced exclusively as an FCV, in March this year.
During the recent Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, HMC's Creative Design Team created a stunning pavilion to promote hydrogen FCVs. Grabbing attention with its state-of-the-art Vantablack exterior, the pavilion took visitors on a beautiful abstract journey representing the chemical changes of hydrogen as a fuel.
The pavilion was a poetic and bold gesture, avoiding any direct references to or images of cars.
But when it comes to specific comments, HMC is somewhat guarded. The company initially agreed to answer detailed questions from Korea Exposé, but later scaled its response back to a general comment on the need for infrastructure.
"We share the general view with the automotive industry and Hydrogen Council that sufficient infrastructure will be a critical part to help proliferation of the EVs, FCEVs and any other sort of eco-friendly vehicles," said Jin Cha, a PR official from the conglomerate.
Even the company's press release about the Nexo fails to emphasize its revolutionary fuel source as strongly as other features, such as self-driving technology and the car's infotainment system. Sure, these are interesting in their own rights. But they're largely unrelated to the hydrogen fuel cell and seem to detract attention from it.
HMC may be treading carefully due to political considerations — as the only maker of commercial FCVs in South Korea, it desperately needs the government's help in building hydrogen infrastructure, but must also avoid being seen as a recipient of special favors.
But it's also somewhat puzzling why the company is not going on a stronger hydrogen publicity blitz — if the number of hydrogen filling stations doesn't rapidly increase from the current 12 or so, it's hard to see the Nexo or any other hydrogen FCV succeeding in South Korea in the long term. If the Nexo and other FCVs fail to sell well, Hyundai's quarter century of hydrogen vehicle research could end up bearing scant fruit.
When Barack Obama effectively killed the U.S. government's hydrogen fuel cell program in 2009, his energy secretary and Nobel laureate Steven Chu declared fuel cell technology and hydrogen infrastructure too inadequate to allow a hydrogen car economy to develop in the next few decades.
But hydrogen was not dead for long. In 2017, a group of top global energy, transport and industry companies got together to form the Hydrogen Council, aiming to secure a key role for the gas in the transition to a new energy order. Why?
"This is why we have hydrogen powered cars — to provide another market for all that natural gas, and to keep centralized control of the fuel among the big fossil fuel companies," he said.
For now, the fossil fuel argument appears somewhat valid in South Korea: Almost all hydrogen is produced at the country's three petrochemical complexes, from natural gas.
So far, so fossil fuel-based. Even if a few million cars in South Korea did eventually run on hydrogen, giving off only water as a by-product, the hydrogen they ran on would still come from natural gas, under the current scenario.
But now, the Moon Jae-in administration has a policy that could potentially — although not definitively — give hydrogen a key role, not just in transport but South Korea's entire energy system.
Here's how it works: In December 2017, the South Korean government announced a plan to generate 20 percent of the country's electricity from renewable sources — mostly solar and wind — by 2030. Renewables now account for only about five percent of total generation, so this is set to bring massive change in the energy sector.
But while Moon's plan paints a picture of future renewable generation sources, it's relatively lacking in plans for energy storage.
Renewables have a big drawback: intermittency. When the sun shines and the wind blows, you have too much electricity. At night and when there's no wind, you don't have enough.
This means you need to store electricity generated at times of surplus to use later during deficits. One way of doing this is with giant batteries, like the one Tesla recently built in Australia, to much media acclaim.
But even giant batteries can't store that much energy when it comes to powering whole cities and economies. And they're expensive.
In Europe, countries get around this problem by having connected electricity grids: France and Germany, for example, can send each other electricity according to varying supply and demand. But South Korea does not have this option: With sea on three sides and North Korea on the other, it's an electricity island.
This is where hydrogen could potentially play a crucial role: If produced by electrolysis at times when there is too much renewably generated electricity, it can store large amounts of energy in gas form until it's needed again. Should South Korea decide to invest in enough electrolysis equipment, hydrogen storage facilities and other elements of infrastructure, there is potential for hydrogen to plan an indispensable energy storage role.
"The advantage of hydrogen is that it can store large amounts of energy to take into account seasonal, temporal and regional fluctuations [in electricity generation]," said Ahn Kook-young, president of the Korean Hydrogen & New Energy Society.
Once electrolysis becomes the main means of producing hydrogen, Ahn argued, "energy equality" among countries would emerge, since the only raw material required is seawater. Countries with large expanses of desert to could potentially use their land to install solar electricity plants, produce hydrogen through electrolysis of water, and export the hydrogen to other countries with higher demand and less space.
"Japan is considering using solar power to produce hydrogen in Australia, then importing it by ship," pointed out Kim Beom-jun, a researcher at LG Economic Research Institute.
Just as the BEV market now has momentum of its own, prompting battery technology to evolve in leaps and bounds, it's easy to imagine hydrogen storage and distribution technology enjoying a spurt of development once the hydrogen economy starts to take root.
But back in the world of cars, the chicken-and-egg problem that has always dogged hydrogen vehicles remains: No one wants to build hydrogen filling stations when there are no vehicles to use them, and no one wants to make vehicles when there are no filling stations to fill them.
Editor's Note: This article was updated on Apr. 11. Originally, we reported that the Nexo was HMC's first mass production FCV. In fact, an FCV version of the company's Tucson sports utility vehicle was released in 2013, and sold in small numbers. The Nexo is HMC's first FCV-only mass production vehicle.


This phenomenological study explores and describes the 'lived' experiences of general student nurses on their first clinical placement in an Irish School of Nursing. The research question: 'What are the experiences of general student nurses on their first clinical placement?' provided the focus for the study. In-depth interviews were conducted with nine female student nurses and one male student nurse. Data from the interviews were collected, recorded and analysed using Coliazzi's (1978) framework (Coliazzi, P., 1978. Psychological research as the phenomenologist views it. In: Valle, R.S., King, M. (Eds.), Existential Phenomenological Alternatives for Psychology, Oxford University Press, New York). Five core themes emerged: self-awareness, confidence, anxiety, facilitation and professional issues. The findings revealed that the standard of preparation for the placement was viewed positively though some aspects of preparation require a critical shift in thinking towards meeting the students' needs in future curriculum planning. The conclusions of the study indicate that the presence of mutual respect and regard for others had a positive impact on the students' self-esteem. The acquisition of knowledge led to an increase in confidence levels that subsequently reduced anxiety. This enhanced the learning process that was dependant upon the collaborative support and facilitation in the clinical learning environment. The findings prepare the way for further research that could continue to develop and maximise the educational value and clinical experience for undergraduate nursing students. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

Metronome Charleston's weekly Punch List puts local musicians on the spot with a questionnaire that touches on music, venues, gear, records, vices, and more. This week, guitarist, singer, songwriter, and bandleader Doug Walters of Torture Town takes a turn.
"One time I had a gig at a wine bar and Elvis Costello was in town. A guy came in who looked exactly like him. He sat at the bar and watched me play for three hours. In my mind I knew it was him but I tried to play cool and not even really notice. I played and sang beyond my very best. Turns out it wasn't him, but for three beautiful and slightly nerve-wracking hours it was.
A native of Columbia, Doug Walters has been making music in Charleston for years. He formed the heavy-duty rock trio Torture Town as his main songwriting project five years ago. Under the Torture Town moniker, Walters has independently released two studio albums – the self-titled Twisted Tales from Torture Town (2010) and the EP Voodoo Woman (2011). This week he and the band will unveil their third official collection, Torture Town III, a five-song mini album tracked at Walters' home studio and mixed and mastered at Ocean Industries.
With cover art by Charleston-based artist Gil Schuler, Torture Town III will be available at Charleston-area record store Monster Music and online through revernation.com/torturetown.
Torture Town will celebrate the release of Torture Town III with a performance at the Tin Roof in West Ashley on Sun. Sept. 29 at 9 p.m. Local four-piece Bully Pulpit will open the show. Guest horn players Steve Spaulding (trombone) and Ronnie Ward (trumpet) will be on hand as well. Admission is $5.
Torture Town also performs at the Mill in Park Circle on Sat. Oct. 5 at 10 p.m. Admission is free.

These cars have the 'fly by wire' electronic throttle control so adding Cruise Control is easy. The basic upgrade is a stalk (about £30), a few wires and a different brake pedal switch. The clutch switch is already fitted to all diesels, but the wiring to the stalk is not, so will need to be added.
Access engine ECU (inside left-front wing, above arch liner).
Check ECU for wires at pins 53, 56 and 57.
If wires are not present at the ECU, add them (hint: you can get spare terminals from a scrap yard by cutting off the ECU loom connector).
Once you have the wires at the ECU, extend them into the car and up to the steering column.
Connect the new wires from the ECU to the stalk and clip into place instead of your existing indicator stalk (see below for details).
Secure wiring and refit the column covers.
Remove noise insulation cover from pedal area, remove brake switch and replace with the dual one. Note that it's possible to use switches from other models by cutting the central orientation plug and rotating the connector through 90 degrees before plugging in.
Using Tech2 (OPCOM may also work), select Diagnostics> Engine> Programming> Variant coding, enter security code and select Cruise Control to be 'Present'. Click 'Program' and you're done.
Using Tech2, check the Data List in the Engine ECU for correct operation of all components. (I,R,C stalk switches, brake1, brake2 and clutch).
Go for a drive – Cruise control is set using the 'I' button on the stalk. Once set, the speed can be increased using 'I' and reduced using the 'R' button. To exit cruise mode, either click the 'C' button, press the brake or clutch pedals.
If something doesn't work as expected, check carefully that the brake pedal switch is operating correctly – it's common that a 'right looking' switch is wired wrongly, often given away by brake lights being ON until you brake, when they switch OFF. Rotate the connector to resolve.

The top United Nations human rights official said Friday that his office will continue reaching out to Beijing about allegations of abuse in China. The office of former U.N. human rights chief Michelle Bachelet published a report in August stating that China's detention of Uyghurs and other mostly Muslim ethnic groups in the western region of Xinjiang may constitute crimes against humanity. Bachelet's successor, High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk, called the report "a very important one" that "highlighted very serious human rights concerns." "My focus is on following up on the recommendations that are contained in the report," Türk said at a news conference in Geneva. "We will, and I will, personally continue engaging with the authorities," he said, adding: ''Hope springs eternal for changes." Beijing rejected the report when it was released, alleging it was part of a Western campaign to smear China's reputation.

Muncie resident Jim O'Neill and his best friend, Finn McCool.
O'Neill comes from factory stock. His father worked for 50 years in Muncie's booming industries while his mother kept the children and the house. O'Neill followed his father's footsteps, laying brick for many Ball State buildings and area courthouses for most of the '90s. He spent 10 years fixing transmission lines throughout Indiana and Michigan, but a June 2000 accident left him disabled and unable to work.
Paying for medical bills and a leaky roof, among other unexpected expenses, plowed through his savings. The family home's outdated heating system cost him $400 a month, which forced him to regularly decide between heating his home and buying groceries.
Finn's full food bowl suggests O'Neill feels the same about his four-legged pal, making sure the pup is taken care of before O'Neill thinks about his own needs.
Tired and hopeless, O'Neill reached out to Muncie's Holistic Rehab Program, a collaboration between Habitat for Humanity and ecoREHAB, a nonprofit that promotes sustainable building, design and education. The organizations updated O'Neill's heating and cooling system and repaired the roof and leaky gutters.
His heating bill averages about $90 a month now. He regularly eats.
The one constant—through good and bad—that sustained O'Neill is his garden. His family grew tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, bush beans and more on the south side of the Linden Street home. The garden has had good years and bad, but O'Neill's favorite—tomatoes—have produced, year after year.
This year's harvest included tomatoes, bell peppers, snack peppers and blackberries. O'Neill gave some of the produce to volunteers in the rehabilitation programs to show his appreciation for their support.

New global rules to enhance the voice of the public appear with help of the Czech Republic

Bridging the growing public mistrust towards politicians and reinforcing the direct influence of people regarding important decisions. Those are goals of new rules for public participation in decision-making on public affairs, which are created by the Human Rights Committee of the United Nations. The Czech Republic is one of the initiators and process leaders. In the end, people around the world should have more opportunities to take part in decisions of civic interest, such as public budgets, strategies for developing countries and cities, transport, education - on agendas that are nowadays often being created behind the closed doors of authorities. Participating in every-four-years elections is simply not enough.
"In 1998, the so-called Aarhus Convention allowed direct public involvement in decision-making. But it only applies to environmental issues and only in Europe and former Soviet Union. However, in the majority of the world's countries, decision-making processes are closed," says Martin Skalský from the Arnika, who has just returned from the latest UN consultation in Geneva.
"The experience of the past twenty years has shown that public participation in decision-making helps prevent corruption, reduce mistakes of the authorities, helps to find compromises, and leads to higher quality decisions. We know of hundreds of cases where people have helped improve the quality of life in their town or village or prevented unnecessary damage to the environment," he adds.
The recently created rules are based on the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights that came into force in 1966 and which follows the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The initiator of the process is a group of five states with the Czech Republic among them. Consultations with experts, academics and non-governmental organizations have already taken place in the presence of state representatives in Africa, America, and Asia. The fate of the proposal, which will be prepared by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in the summer, will be discussed by the governments representatives in September.

A wide range of diverse polyhydroxyalkanoates, PHAs, is currently available due to the low substrate specificity of PHA synthases and subsequent modifications by chemical reactions. These polymers are promising materials for a number of different applications due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. This review summarizes the large variability of PHAs regarding chemical structure and material properties that can be currently produced. In the first part, in vivo and in vitro biosynthesis processes for production of a large variety of different PHAs will be summarized with regard to obtaining saturated and unsaturated copolyesters and side chain functionalized polyesters, including brominated, hydroxylated, methyl-branched polyesters, and phenyl derivatives of polyesters. In the second part, established chemical modifications of PHAs will be summarized as that by means of grafting reactions and graft/block copolymerizations, as well as by chlorination, cross-linking, epoxidation, hydroxylation, and carboxylation, reactions yield further functionalized PHAs.

Many of those who are familiar with the science behind cannabis have some kind of understanding of cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD. These bind themselves to CB1 and CB2 receptors, but they aren't the only ones. Evidence suggests that there's another receptor that cannabinoids target – G-protein coupled receptor 55, more commonly known as GPR55.
What does this mean for cannabis research? Could it be the key to understanding how CBD affects the brain? Keep reading to find out.
GPR55 is a recently discovered target that could be a major player in how cannabis affects the body and the brain. Identified for the first time in 1999, no one was quite sure how it was activated or what it even did yet. By 2007, however, studies reviewed that cannabinoids such as CBD are able to affect its activity.
The research community is considering this newfound receptor to be a possible third part of the set, where it would be referred to as CB3. There has been no commitment to this new name, as GPR55's identity is only 14% similar to CB1 and CB2, while they are 64% similar to each other. It also looks a little different, but nonetheless, it has proven itself to have a significant role in the beneficial therapeutic effects of CBD and cannabis.
Both CBD isolate and full-spectrum CBD distillate are used as treatments for a variety of conditions, but little is known about why they work. Let's take a look at how GPR55 fits into the puzzle.
For patients with seizure disorders that don't usually respond to traditional medications, bulk CBD isolate is a very promising strategy for treating epilepsy. You may have heard of Charlotte's Web, the popular strain of cannabis named for Charlotte Figi, whose seizures were drastically reduced thanks to the CBD-rich treatment.
Many clinical trials researching the effectiveness of this treatment have revealed how this is accomplished. In a mouse with Dravet Syndrome, the same condition that Charlotte Figi suffers from, scientists found that CBD blocked GPR55 activity in the brain's hippocampus.
While no animal or human studies are currently underway to prove the connection, there is also hope that GPR55 can help us better understand cancer. As we've mentioned, CBD blocks GPR55 activity. It's hypothesized that GPR55 activity contributes to the formation of tumors, while the blockage of GPR55 has anti-tumor effects in certain cancers including brain cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer.
This disease occurs when the colon and the intestines become inflamed, and is common in patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Patients who suffer from IBD have higher than average GPR55 levels, which suggests that this new receptor may be playing a pro-inflammatory role for the body. Cannabis blocks the role of this receptor in tests with mice, which implies that it could have the same effect on humans.
As you can see, cannabis research is an exciting medical frontier. In addition to GPR55, another promising new breakthrough has to do with cannabigerol, or CBG.
CBG is a phytocannabinoid, which is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid. These come from plants such as cannabis, unlike endocannabinoids that are sourced from your body's ECS, or endocannabinoid system.
CBG has a very different chemical structure than CBD, and yet it contains some very important cannabinoids that allow it to have all kinds of medical treatment benefits in patients. This substance is only found in trace amounts, so it doesn't get as much attention as the latter. But researchers are slowly finding that CBG may help to treat conditions such as glaucoma, Huntington's disease, and inflammatory bowel disease.
While more research needs to be done, it's clear that cannabis has a lot of potential. While we may not know too much about CBG vs CBD or how CBD affects GPR55, we do know that CBD oil can be used to ease anxiety, reduce inflammation, and so much more. At Discount Pharms, we have a high-quality selection of wholesale CBD isolate & full spectrum CBD distillate to choose from.

Four Scholars of Königsberg
In 1927, William Ehrich worked under Stanislaus Cauer, the senior professor of sculpture at the Art Academy (Kunstakademie) in Königsberg. Although Königsberg at the time was the focal point of art and culture in East Prussia, the hyperinflation that began in 1922 and the massive need for reconstruction resources made financial support for art difficult to obtain. Since Cauer was such a dominant force at the time, he received numerous commissions. In order to support himself and his new bride, Ruth, Ehrich worked for Cauer and executed some of his projects. Among those works were the sculpted heads of Copernicus, Kant, Herder, and Corinth which were placed above the main entrance to the Neue Burgschule on Lehndorfstraße, which was completed in November of 1927.
After the final destruction of Königsberg and the Russian conquest in April, 1945, the Russian occupiers wished to remove all traces of German identity, but many buildings and some art survived. The Neue Burgschule survives today as Gimnasium No. 1 in Kaliningrad, but the heads were destroyed in 1945. Incredibly, Die Zeit reports that at the end of September, 1945, a Russian colonel visited the school and demanded that the director destroy the heads. A student named Jurij Nikolaiewitsch Iwanow recalls how he held the ladder as the heads were destroyed and discarded in a bomb crater. Nobody knew the artists or the intellectuals whose likenesses were lost that day.

As March comes to an end, I'm wrapping up playing Health Month, an online game that helps you integrate new habits and change behavior. Here's my review of Health Month and a recap of what I experienced. I have to say, I don't think I really explored it to the fullest, but there were a couple of things I really liked about it and a couple of things I didn't connect with in the design.
First, what didn't really work for me, then what I really like about this tool.
Now, you are supposed to be able to regain points and be held accountable by interacting with other people. I never connected in to this layer of the game, so it was hard to put weight behind the points or more public accountability. Maybe if I had started playing with someone I already knew, I would have found this aspect more compelling. It's probably pretty necessary to make these connections right away and I think there are ways to find people with similar rules or goals. I just never pulled the trigger on this piece of it because I wanted to ease into playing, but a couple of weeks in, I think not having that social pressure made it easier for me to ignore the game more.
I really like that the time frame is set as a month, for two reasons. First, the reset is right around the corner. Every month is a fresh start if you really get off track. Second, setting a goal for a behavior over a span like 30 days is much more manageable than saying you want to do something "from now on", or as they call it at the Stanford Persuasive Technology Lab, adopting a "Path Behavior".
The difference between a "span" behavior and a "path" behavior is duration. "From now on" is too indefinite for most people to really master. When you limit the change you are aiming for to one month, though, you are creating a more manageable goal. Health Month makes you shoot for "span" behaviors by design.
There was something that really clicked for me about formulating my Health Month goals as rules. Rules guide you from vague goals into concrete actions. I had to think through weekly situations and envision when I was going to follow my rules. The rules had to be crafted in ways I could reasonably follow.
There is a golden mean between doing things differently and doing them in a sustainable way. Fast changes, where you try to re-shape everything in your life, don't work. Imagine waking up one morning and deciding that your are going to do everything different, eat, exercise, work, interact. You can't do it. Part of that has to do with how weak our willpower really is. When you have to exercise a lot of self-control, you literally drain energy from your cognitive abilities (Chip and Dan Heath go through great examples of this and the concept of visualizing habits you want to ingrain ahead of time in Switch).
Of course, the other extreme is not changing at all or changing the wrong things.
I believe that most of what you do should be driven by habit. That's the most efficient way to do things. But, you have to be thoughtful about the habits you want to create in life, and work hard at the systems and practices that are going to develop the habits you want. It's a strange mindset, I know. The cognitive work is in building the systems. Leave the rest to your nervous system's natural ability to adapt and make habits. I think Health Month helped me see this more clearly and I look forward to "playing by the rules" now even more!

In 1891 Dr J.G. McPherson, a keen golfer from St Andrews wrote of the greens, 'there was a variety of surface which brought out the greater skill; now all are nicely turfed over and artificially dressed like billiard tables. Then, at the Heather Hole one had to dodge about and watch the lie of the green… Now, a dead straight putt suffices. The Sandy Hole puzzled the uninitiated with its heavy putting surface; now it is a stroke easier.' The Old Course received no attention in these earliest days and the only greenkeepers were the rabbits. It is therefore one of the greatest transformations in golf that courses now double cut and roll greens with the aim of establishing uniformly smooth and fast greens of the same colour. There has been a slight drift away from having greens green, focusing more on having them healthy, but the fascination for speed and smoothness has accelerated. What does the future hold?
Golf greens in the future may be a combination of tradition and technology. Preparing greens to varying speeds- depending on their slope- may allow tournament officials to provide a better test of modern golfers putting skills. As such, a drift back to non-uniformity can be recommended.
Early 1900's greens matched the slower surface condition of the grass and averaged slopes of 5 percent to 8 percent. This amount of pitch was considered fair play when cut to speeds of perhaps 3-6 feet by the greens mowers of that time period. Because of this variability, the predominant reason for a practice rounds prior to the Open was to learn each greens 'personality'. The challenge of putting was to remember which green was faster or slower, and which side to approach the flag to get the smoothest line to the hole.
At St Andrews, while the turf condition and maintenance equipment has improved, the contours in the greens have not been altered since Old Tom is said to have 'levelled the putting greens by the terracing up of their lower edges' in the late 1800's. As a result, some areas of most greens are unsuitable for modern pin positions- E.g. 11th green. At 4-6%, much of it is too steep for a flag location- especially in the Open Championship when the greens are running at 10+ feet on the stimpmeter. Simply, a ball will never come to rest. However, if green speeds were varied and slowed on the more undulating greens, more pin positions would be made available. Indeed, on this green at a speed of say 8, the exciting left side of the green could be used- which would bring 'Hill bunker' into play! Cricket provides a good analogy. Each green would be like facing a good quick bowler. The golfers job would be to the pick the line, judge the movement and guess the speed!
Caption- The traditional modern pin position for the Open Championship on this green is either back right or just over 'Strath' bunker. Occasionally the pin may be located on the left side of the green during or casual play when the greens are running slower, but not during the Open. With greens running at speeds of 10+ on the stimpmeter, it has been found that a ball will not come to rest on areas on firm tight bentgrass greens with a slope of greater than 3% slope.
An eagerness for speed and uniformity in our greens has reduced putting to a more monochromatic art. To enhance it, limit compaction, and reuse some of the more interesting areas on our greens, the speed of greens could in the future be purposefully varied. Such a scheme is not contrary to the concept of progress, in fact the exact opposite. Future golfers will need the fine touch required on quick greens, the skill previous generations had to negotiate slower undulating greens and the memory to remember which are which!
"During both the design and construction phases their can-do attitude to problem solving was refreshing".

Summer Citrus from South Africa growers work together to define and adhere to the strictest quality and food safety standards to bring U.S. consumers the finest citrus in the world.
Summer Citrus from South Africa is grown in the southernmost part of the country called the Western Cape. Nestled between the Swartberg and the Koue Bokkeveld Mountains, the citrus orchards or Citrusdal are situated in a fertile valley nourished by the Olifants River.
Thanks to our unique Mediterranean-like climate, our fruit is grown in optimal conditions, producing superior tasting summer time citrus that is easy-to-peel, seedless, and nutritious.
The citrus orchards of South Africa have supported generations of farm families that continue to live, work and thrive on these farms. This long heritage of citrus production will continue to play a major role in the economic future and lives of successive generations. The vital Summer Citrus industry has created thousands of jobs in the U.S. and employs hundred of farmers and 30,000 workers in South Africa.

COVID-19: Food security grows by knowing where your seeds come from
July 15, 2020 July 21, 2020 Ashley Kryschuck Food and Travel
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that Canada needs to develop a more resilient food supply. To help bolster our food security, a nonprofit organization called SeedChange is working with farmers across the country to save seeds at risk of extinction and grow food sustainably.
And while the Ottawa-based SeedChange is enlisting more than 200 farmers from coast to coast to coast to grow local vegetable seed crops, it's also encouraging individuals to contribute to a more secure food system. People can do that by supporting local farmers or planting their own veggie gardens.
"This pandemic is showing us that how we get food from farms to our plates is vulnerable to shocks," SeedChange executive director Jane Rabinowicz tells the Straight. "The pandemic has increased food insecurity due to so many people losing their income, impacted farm workers and the farmers who employ them, affected markets, and many other aspects of farm life. We may not know the full effect of COVID-19 on our food security until harvest season.
"More people are growing food than ever, realizing the importance of a short supply chain, and showing unprecedented support for local farmers and seed growers," she says. "Let's hope the positive trend of people growing their own food and supporting their local farmers lasts beyond the pandemic."
Home gardeners can contribute to a thriving food and farming sector through their seed purchases, Rabinowicz says.
"The more local you buy, the fewer steps between you and the farmer, and the higher the share of the revenue to the farmer," she says. "Another benefit of buying local seed, whether it's direct from the seed producer or through a grocery store that sells seed from local farmers is that it's more likely to be well-adapted to a climate similar to your garden.
SeedChange's SeedFinder database helps people find locally adapted vegetable seeds from farmers in their region.
"An example of a seed well adapted to B.C. is the Blacktail Mountain Watermelon," Sal Dominelli of Sweet Rock Farm Seeds on Gabriola Island tells the Straight. "It was bred as a northern hardy watermelon by a farmer named Glenn Drowns in Iowa, but this watermelon now grows well all over B.C., from our farm on the Gulf Islands up to Woodgrain Farm in the Kispiox Valley. But any seed that is grown for a few generations in a locale will be more adapted to it. That is why it's important to know where your seeds are coming from."
For beginner gardeners who may be intimidated by growing vegetables, Dominelli suggests starting small and focusing on what they love to eat.
"Seeds are amazing and they want to do one thing: grow," he says. "We just need to help them do what they want to do. One tiny tomato seed can grow into a large plant—sometimes over two metres tall—laden with pounds of fruit. This is inspiring."

Eminem Discusses Snoop Dogg Argument & Rihanna Apology On "Zeus"
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images for MTV
Eminem opens up about what he feels was disrespect from Snoop.
The recent back and forth between Eminem and Snoop Dogg has been interesting to say the least. It all began when Snoop went on The Breakfast Club and stated that he didn't believe Eminem belonged on the list of best rappers of all time. This spurred some debate and fallout between Snoop and Eminem fans, who once believed they were in the same camp. Snoop's words earned him a response from Eminem on the song "Zeus." "Last thing I need is Snoop doggin' me/Man, Dogg, you was like a damn god to me/Nah, not really/I had 'dog' backwards," raps Em on the track. Snoop seemed to fire back, and the issue has yet to be resolved.
Eminem recently hopped on Shade 45 radio to do a breakdown of the songs on his new album Songs To Be Murdered By: Side B. During the conversation, he touched on his Snoop lyrics.
"Everything he said, by the way, was fine, up to a point," Em explained on Shade 45. "Him saying Dre made the best version of me, absolutely, why would I have a problem with that? Would I be here without Dre? Fuck no, I wouldn't. The rappers he mentioned from the '90s—KRS One, Big Daddy Kane, [Kool] G Rap—I've never said I could fuck with them."
"I think it was more about the tone he was using that caught me off-guard 'cause I'm like, where is this coming from? I just saw you, what the fuck? It threw me for a loop," Em continued. "I probably could've gotten past the whole tone and everything, but it was the last statement where he said, 'Far as music I can live without, I can live without that shit.' Now you're being disrespectful. It just caught me off-guard."
He also touches on his apology to Rihanna, which occurs in the same song. The story behind the leaked Rihanna "diss," in which Em sides with Chris Brown over the case of assault, is that Em recorded the verse while he was working on Relapse in 2009. He claims that he was just trying to throw anything on a verse. "Honest to God, I told Paul this when it first happened," he begins. "First, I don't know how somebody got it. Second of all, I have zero recollection of even remembering doing that verse. Like, the rhyme schemes didn't even sound familiar to me, so I was caught off-guard." Still, he owned up to his mistake. "I'm not making excuses for it. I said it, and I was wrong for saying it. It was fucking stupid," Em declared.

Once-popular party drug now used for severe depression
By Sara Solovitch
| Washington Post |
Feb 05, 2016 | 10:50 AM
This is a vial of the drug ketamine hydrochloride, better known in the drug culture as "Special K." The drug is being used to treat severe depression, but it's mostly been used as an anesthesia -- and has been abused as the party drug. (Victoria Arocho/ Associated Press)
It was November 2012 when Dennis Hartman, a Seattle business executive, managed to pull himself out of bed, force himself to shower for the first time in days and board a plane that would carry him across the country to a clinical trial at the National Institute of Mental Health in Bethesda, Md.
After a lifetime of profound depression, 25 years of therapy and cycling through 18 antidepressants and mood stabilizers, Hartman, then 46, had planned to commit suicide if this clinical trial didn't work.
For 40 minutes, he sat in a hospital room as an IV drip delivered ketamine through his system. Several more hours passed before it occurred to him that all his thoughts of suicide had evaporated.
"My life will always be divided into the time before that first infusion and the time after," Hartman said. "That sense of suffering and pain draining away. I was bewildered by the absence of pain."
Ketamine, popularly known as the psychedelic club drug Special K, has been around since the early 1960s. It's a staple anesthetic in emergency rooms, regularly used for children when they come in with broken bones and dislocated shoulders. It's an important tool in burn centers and veterinary medicine, as well as a notorious date-rape drug, known for its power to quickly numb and render someone immobile.
Ketamine: a potential rescue drug for depression takes a step forward
By By Melissa Healy
Since 2006, dozens of studies have reported that it can also reverse the kind of severe depression that traditional antidepressants often don't touch. The momentum behind the drug has now reached the American Psychiatric Association, which, according to members of a ketamine task force, seems headed toward a tacit endorsement of the drug for treatment-resistant depression.
Experts are calling it the most significant advance in mental health in more than half a century. They point to studies showing ketamine not only produces a rapid and robust antidepressant effect; it also puts a quick end to suicidal thinking.
Traditional antidepressants and mood stabilizers, by comparison, can take weeks or months to work. In 2010, a major study published in JAMA, the journal of the American Medical Association, reported that drugs in a leading class of antidepressants were no better than placebos for most depression.
A growing number of academic medical centers, including Yale University, the University of California at San Diego, the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic, have begun offering ketamine treatments off-label for severe depression, as has Kaiser Permanente in Northern California.
Works fast, high response rate
"This is the next big thing in psychiatry," said L. Alison McInnes, a San Francisco psychiatrist who over the past year has enrolled 58 severely depressed patients in Kaiser's San Francisco clinic. She says her long-term success rate of 60 percent for people with treatment-resistant depression who try the drug has persuaded Kaiser to expand treatment to two other clinics in the Bay Area. The excitement stems from the fact that it's working for patients who have spent years cycling through antidepressants, mood stabilizers and various therapies.

"Psychiatry has run out of gas" in trying to help depressed patients for whom nothing has worked, she said. "There is a significant number of people who don't respond to antidepressants, and we've had nothing to offer them other than cognitive behavior therapy, electroshock therapy and transcranial stimulation."
McInnes is a member of the APA's ketamine task force, assigned to codify the protocol for how and when the drug will be given. She says she expects the APA to support the use of ketamine treatment early this year.
The guidelines, which follow the protocol used in the clinical trial involving Hartman, call for six IV drips over a two-week period. The dosage is very low, about a tenth of the amount used in anesthesia. And when it works, it does so within minutes or hours.
"It's not subtle," said Enrique Abreu, a Portland, Ore., anesthesiologist who began treating depressed patients with it in 2012. "It's really obvious if it's going to be effective.
"And the response rate is unbelievable. This drug is 75 percent effective, which means that three-quarters of my patients do well. Nothing in medicine has those kind of numbers."
So far, there is no evidence of addiction at the low dose in which infusions are delivered. Ketamine does, however, have one major limitation: Its relief is temporary. Clinical trials at the National Institute of Mental Health, or NIMH, have found that relapse usually occurs about a week after a single infusion.
Club drug 'special K' tied to urinary problems
By Amy Norton
Ketamine works differently from traditional antidepressants, which target the brain's serotonin and noradrenalin systems. It blocks N-methyl-D-aspartate, or NMDA, a receptor in the brain that is activated by glutamate, a neurotransmitter.
In excessive quantities, glutamate becomes an excitotoxin, meaning that it overstimulates brain cells.
"Ketamine almost certainly modifies the function of synapses and circuits, turning certain circuits on and off," said Carlos Zarate Jr., NIMH's chief of neurobiology and treatment of mood disorders, who has led the research on ketamine. "The result is a rapid antidepressant effect."
Possible use in other disorders
A study published in the journal Science in 2010 suggested that ketamine restores brain function through a process called synaptogenesis. Scientists at Yale University found that ketamine not only improved depression-like behavior in rats but also promoted the growth of new synaptic connections between neurons in the brain.
Even a low-dose infusion can cause intense hallucinations. Patients often describe a kind of lucid dreaming or dissociative state in which they lose track of time and feel separated from their bodies. Many enjoy it; some don't. But studies at NIMH and elsewhere suggest that the psychedelic experience may play a small but significant role in the drug's efficacy.
"It's one of the things that's really striking," said Steven Levine, a Princeton, N.J., psychiatrist who estimates that he has treated 500 patients with ketamine since 2011. "With depression, people often feel very isolated and disconnected. Ketamine seems to leave something indelible behind. People use remarkably similar language to describe their experience: 'a sense of connection to other people,' 'a greater sense of connection to the universe.' "
Although bladder problems and cognitive deficits have been reported among long-term ketamine abusers, none of these effects have been observed in low-dose clinical trials. In addition to depression, the drug is being studied for its effectiveness in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, extreme anxiety and Rett syndrome, a rare developmental disorder on the autism spectrum.
Rise of ketamine clinics
The drug's fleeting remission effect has led many patients to seek booster infusions. Hartman, for one, began his search before he even left his hospital room in Bethesda.
Four years ago, he couldn't find a doctor in the Pacific Northwest willing to administer ketamine. "At the time, psychiatrists hovered between willful ignorance and outright opposition to it," said Hartman, whose depression began creeping back a few weeks after his return to Seattle.
It took nine months before he found an anesthesiologist in New York who was treating patients with ketamine. Soon, he was flying back and forth across the country for bimonthly infusions.
Upon his request, he received the same dosage and routine he had received in Bethesda: six infusions over two weeks. And with each return to New York, his relief seemed to last a little longer. These days, he says that his periods of remission between infusions often stretch to six months. He says he no longer takes any medication for depression besides ketamine.
"I don't consider myself permanently cured, but now it's something I can manage," Hartman said, "like diabetes or arthritis. Before, it was completely unmanageable. It dominated my life and prevented me from functioning."
In 2012 he helped found the Ketamine Advocacy Network, a group that vets ketamine clinics, advocates for insurance coverage and spreads the word about the drug.
And word has indeed spread. Ketamine clinics, typically operated by psychiatrists or anesthesiologists, are popping up in major cities around the country.
Levine, for one, is about to expand from New Jersey to Denver and Baltimore. Portland's Abreu recently opened a second clinic in Seattle.
Depression is big business. An estimated 15.7 million adults in the United States experienced at least one major depressive episode in 2014, according to the NIMH.
"There's a great unmet need in depression," said Gerard Sanacora, director of the Yale Depression Research Program. "We think this is an extremely important treatment. The concern comes if people start using ketamine before (cognitive behavioral therapy) or Prozac. Maybe someday it will be a first-line treatment. But we're not there yet."
Sanacora said a lot more research is required. "It's a medication that can have big changes in heart rate and blood pressure. There are so many unknowns, I'm not sure it should be used more widely till we understand its long-term benefits and risks."
While a single dose of ketamine is cheaper than a $2 bottle of water, the cost to the consumer varies wildly, $500 to $1,500 per treatment. The drug itself is easily available in any pharmacy, and doctors are free to prescribe it — as with any medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration — for off-label use. Practitioners attribute the expense to medical monitoring of patients and IV equipment required during an infusion.
There is no registry for tracking the number of patients being treated with ketamine for depression, the frequency of those treatments, dosage levels, follow-up care and adverse effects.
"We clearly need more standardization in its use," Zarate said. "We still don't know what the proper dose should be. We need to do more studies. It still, in my opinion, should be used predominantly in a research setting or highly specialized clinic."
As a drug once known almost exclusively to anesthesiologists, ketamine now falls into a gray zone.
"Most anesthesiologists don't do mental health, and there's no way a psychiatrist feels comfortable putting an IV in someone's arm," Abreu said.
It's a drug, in other words, that practically demands collaboration. Instead, it has set off a turf war. As the use of ketamine looks likely to grow, many psychiatrists say that use of ketamine for depression should be left to them.

"The bottom line is you're treating depression," said psychiatrist David Feifel, director of the Center for Advanced Treatment of Mood and Anxiety Disorders at the University of California at San Diego. "And this isn't garden-variety depression. The people coming in for ketamine are people who have the toughest, potentially most dangerous depressions. I think it's a disaster if anesthesiologists feel competent to monitor these patients. Many of them have bipolar disorder and are in danger of becoming manic. My question (to anesthesiologists) is: 'Do you feel comfortable that you can pick up mania?' "
But ketamine has flourished from the ground up and with little or no advertising. The demand has come primarily from patients and their families; Zarate, for instance, said he receives "at least 100 emails a day" from patients.
Nearly every one of them wants to know where they can get it.

Speaking on Tuesday after the newly elected Assembly members registered in the chamber at Stormont, Sinn Féin nominee for the post of Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said that the next step had to be getting the institutions fully functioning.
"If today's registration of members is to mean anything then it has to be followed on 26 March with the Assembly, Executive and all-Ireland bodies going live. Achieving this remains our objective in the short time that remains to get the business done", McGuinness said.
"We remain positive that we can achieve a functioning Executive and Assembly in the timeframe demanded by the two governments at St. Andrews. All of the parties with the exception of the DUP stand ready to enter government now", he said.
"It is my hope that in the course of the next two weeks Ian Paisley commits himself and his party to sharing power with the rest of us on the basis of equality. If he chooses to do this, then we can sit down and begin to tackle head-on issues like water charges, rate increases and ongoing cuts in health and education. This is what the people voted for last week in overwhelming numbers", said McGuinness.
Speaking last Friday, 9 March following the elections, McGuinness said that the electorate had delivered a clear mandate for a power-sharing executive.
"I would like to thank the people who came out in massive numbers and once again placed their trust in Sinn Féin. It is clear across the political spectrum that the people have delivered a clear mandate for progress and for the establishment of a fully functioning Assembly, Executive and all-Ireland bodies", McGuinness said.
"Sinn Féin are up for that challenge. We are eager to get down to the business of delivering for all of the people. We are eager to get down to the business of tackling the very many social and economic issues which came up at he doorsteps, be it water charges, rates increases or health and education cuts.
"People should make no mistake about it, Sinn Féin are ready for government and there is no reason why this should not happen by 26 March. So we will approach the coming weeks positively and with the intention of securing power sharing government in the North and agreement with the British and Irish governments on a substantial peace dividend to allow the new executive to deliver real and tangible change", the Sinn Féin Chief Negotiator said.
Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams travelled to London for talks with the British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Wednesday, while Martin McGuinness travelled to the United States on Wednesday for a series of engagements with Irish American organisations and senior US Congress members including Representative Richard Neal and Senators Kennedy and Clinton. The Sinn Féin Chief Negotiator will update them on progress in the work to secure the return of the power sharing institutions by 26 March.
Prior to meeting Tony Blair on Wednesday, Gerry Adams held talks with British Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown which concentrated on the need for a substantial Peace dividend to be provided for any new Executive to effectively tackle issues like Water Charges.
A substantial peace dividend is a priority for Sinn Féin in the run up to 26 March.

Arrests made in 2018 homicide, 7-Eleven shooting
STOCKTON — Two arrests have been made in connection to a homicide in late 2018 and a shooting in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven earlier this year, according to the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office.
Maurice Buckley was taken into custody and charged on suspicion of robbery and murder that occurred in the early morning of Oct. 2, 2018, outside the Déjà Vu strip club in the 4200 block of North West Lane.
Deputies said at the time dispatchers initially received a call at 1 a.m. about a disturbance in the bar's parking lot. It turned out to be a robbery, authorities said, and the victim may have grabbed onto the robber's car as it sped away.
Shortly after deputies responded to the scene, the Stockton Police Department was alerted to a vehicle-vs.-pedestrian incident at Bianchi and West lanes. Authorities pieced together that the victim at Bianchi and West lanes was the man who had been robbed in the parking lot.
The victim's identity and age have not been released by the county Coroner's Office.
Additionally, James Edward Pryor was booked for attempted homicide for a Feb. 8 shooting in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven at 3040 West Benjamin Holt Drive.
According to the report, the shooting took place at 1:55 p.m. and the victim was hit in the leg.
Pryor, 28, is being held in County Jail on $1 million bail and was arraigned in Stockton court on Friday afternoon.
Man found dead in creek identified
MURPHYS — The body of a deceased man found submerged in a creek in Murphys this week has been identified as 40-year-old Randy Terry.
Calaveras County Sheriff's deputies were alerted Tuesday of the body that was spotted by civilians near the 800 block of Main Street at 11:10 a.m.
Terry, a resident of Murphys, had been reported missing by a family member since April 29, authorities said. The cause of death is still pending the results of a toxicology report from the county Coroner's Office.
Deputies said no further information was available as the case still is being processed.


Reporting improves two highly-critical aspects of SEO.
First, it establishes your success rate. By reviewing SEO metrics, you determine whether your ideas have worked or not.
Plus, analyzing past performance reports leads to launching better strategies. It gives you a chance to pinpoint past successes and mistakes, learn from them, and improve moving forward.
Unfortunately, I hear SEOs complaining about reporting constantly. They reveal how much they struggle to decide which of the many SEO KPIs to track. Many of them also recall the time they've lost compiling data that delivered zero valuable insights.
I'm never surprised by hearing this, and I sympathize with those practitioners deeply.
That's why I decided to compile a list of critical KPIs an enterprise SEO must track to a.) improve their output and b.) demonstrate what value they deliver to the organization.
Let's start by defining what is a KPI. I want to ensure that we understand the term in the same way.
The short abbreviation stands for Key Performance Indicators. It's a name, I believe that leaves little mystery about what they are. Because, in the simplest terms, a KPI is a value that demonstrates how well a company, a team or any business unit achieves their key objectives.
In terms of SEO, a KPI is anything helping demonstrate that your activities are moving the needle for the company.
In just a moment, we'll cover the most critical SEO KPIs. But there's one more thing I'd like to discuss beforehand.
What Are the Benefits of Identifying and Tracking SEO KPIs?
SEOs ask me this question often. They want to know why they should put the effort into a.) identifying the best metrics to track, and b.) setting up dashboards and reporting to monitor them.
One. KPIs give your efforts clarity. The data you collect with those metrics reveals everything about your strategy – its performance, shortcomings but also, opportunities you may have missed.
Two. KPIs help to increase your focus. With the right metrics, you never fall into the trap of chasing after the next shiny thing. Instead, you know which areas of your work need your attention right now.
And, three. KPIs reveal the true value of your efforts. That's one way to discover success or failure.
What SEO KPIs should you track?
There are so many of them, after all. Rankings, traffic, revenue, goals, bot activity, site audit changes and so much more.
My recommendation is to align your KPIs with your company's or your team's overall goal. Because you can monitor and report on your progress in many ways, depending on what you aim to achieve for the company or a client if you're an agency.
But to simplify the choice for you, I've listed the most important SEO KPIs below, split into two categories – primary and secondary ones.
In the primary section, I included KPIs that reveal the success rate of your SEO efforts.
The secondary category lists what to measure to establish the value SEO delivers to an organization.
Why should you track your KPIs separately?
Because the data they provide relates to different reporting needs. You use the primary ones to prove the success rate of your efforts internally but also to other stakeholders.
However, you present the secondary KPIs to demonstrate how well SEO contributes to the company's goals.
If you want to see any indication of the progress you're making, look at your organic traffic. Rankings and other factors, although important, don't paint the whole picture of your success. A simple change in how you've structured meta tags might engage new visitors with no change to rankings, after all.
But traffic will signify any important changes and suggest whether you need to investigate them further.
With Site Analytics, review organic traffic change since you've launched the campaign or started working on the company's website.
Compare branded and non-branded traffic.
Compare year over year organic search performance.
Traffic engagement – bounce rate, session duration, time on page and many other factors.
It's an unfortunate fact that not every page will attract visitors. Some don't have enough visibility in SEPRs. Others cover topics with little interest from the audience. Overall, however, your goal should be to create as many traffic-generating assets as possible.
To prove that your efforts are working, track the change in the number of pages driving traffic since you've started working on the site.
Most likely, you have set up some goals in Google Analytics to track already. And I recommend you keep close track on how well your efforts help reach them.
Site Analytics, for instance, allows you to analyze ALL of your GA goals. What's more, you can correlate the Analytics data with other SEO metrics like Rankings, Bot Activity, Page issues, Search Console keywords, etc..
High-quality links signify popularity, trust, and authority. - all of which contributes to achieving improvement in rankings. Therefore, I also recommend you monitor how many new backlinks your content attracts and the growth of your link profile.
Finally, given how many technical aspects of the site affect SEO, consider tracking how well you're staying on top of fixing site issues and improving its crawlability.
You don't need to review this information daily. However, I'd suggest reviewing this KPI once a week to monitor the rate of change.
Often, repeat visits denote familiarity with a brand. A person's come back to the site, perhaps more than once. From a business perspective, something these KPIs relate to, this signifies raising brand awareness.
Similarly, visitors entering the site through a branded keyword highlight their familiarity with the brand as well.
If your company focuses on increasing brand awareness, then reporting on these two metrics will help demonstrate how SEO contributes to it as well.
This particular KPI may be hard to define, in general. An organization may have its specific tangible goal - sales, bookings, inquiries, sales-ready leads, demo requests, you name it. But I'm sure you know yours already. And I recommend you develop a way to track it.
For many organizations, this will be the most critical KPI the management wants to see, after all. It's the ultimate proof that whatever strategies you've employed, help the company reach its business goals.
In the case of revenue, with the mobile-first index, you can also track earnings by device type. Doing so will give you an even better breakdown of your audience's preferences.
You can have so many of them on your list, after all. So how do you ensure that reviewing them doesn't consume a major part of your day?
My answer - Create an SEO dashboard bringing all the metrics you need in one place. Doing so is unbelievably easy. In seoClarity, for example, you can do it in no more than a handful of clicks (or less, if you use one of our templates).

Holding on to Holston Hills
The par-4 15th is one of the most striking at Holston Hills, defined by a phalanx of bunkers strung diagonally across the fairway. This photo is prior to the club's tree removal program, which has brilliantly opened up views across the property and allowed for the growth of meadow grass buffers.
Holston Hills has the reputation of being a Donald Ross course that time forgot because so little has supposedly changed over the years. The story is that the club, increasingly located on the "wrong" side of Knoxville and challenged to hold onto members, never had the money to unwittingly hire an architect to come in and modernize the course, as was the case with so many Ross and other Golden Age courses in the'50's and'60's (and later).
Holston Hills' short par-4 6th tilts hard left to right and leaves a tender approach…
…to an uphill green sloping away on all sides.
For the most part what you see on the ground is what was there was 90 years ago, affirmed by old photos and aerials. The club survived alteration perhaps by chance (minor work has been ongoing since the mid-1990s, primarily concerned with tree removal and restoring bunkers), but once Holston Hills understood what they had, there was little chance of them allowing it to be ruined. [Note: McConnell Golf, a company that owns numerous private golf venues throughout the Southeast, purchased the club in 2016. We hope they continue to honor the course's preserved heritage.]
The small green at the par-3 14th, cut into the bank of a shady glade, is one of the swiftest and most tilted on the course.
The opening and closing holes of each nine run up and back over a mildly tilting incline beneath the elevated clubhouse. The ground is more nuanced — and interesting — at the flanks of the property, with the eastern side flaring up toward a ridge at the boundary and a ravine cutting through the center on the western half. Ross, naturally, sniffed out these areas for green sites along with some nice higher ground on the south side for the 7th and 8th greens.
The par-4 16th, just 300 yards, outpunches its weight, with an uphill drive and a feisty pitch to a blind, crowned green.
These landforms, and bunkers cut into upslopes, give the holes a sense of motion that's more obvious from fairway than the tee. You learn driving diagonally across to the par-4 2nd's hogback fairway that you're playing along the ground as much as through the air, and the realization continues at the 3rd where the fairway drops into the ravine past a cluster of fairway bunkers leaving a blind, uphill approach to a sloping green. The all-star 6th is Holston Hills defined, a short par-4 with a heavily canted fairway that drops then rises toward a plateau green.
The 13th begins another stretch that uses a ridge, a hollow and a knob of hill to inspired effect, capped by the 306-yard 16th running up a narrow slope to a slippery pitcher's mound green (with OB right behind).
At 600 yards, the par-5 6th crosses a ravine and then traverses a long, flat stretch toward the northwest corner. Cross bunkers make the second and third shots interesting.
I'm not enamored with the back-to-back par fives that end the round; they're probably the two least engaging holes on the course. But this club has such irresistible charm and internal logic that it hardly matters. Holston Hills is one of the best walks in the South and the moment you finish you're ready to circle around to the 1st tee to start again. Good routings make good golf. They should, and should remain like Holston Hills, locked in time. (93)

Anti-vaxxer's son removed by DoCS and police for medical assessment.
Queensland anti-vaxxer has disabled son taken from her.
A young disabled boy who was last month snatched from hospital by his anti-vaxxer mother has been taken into the care of authorities after being deemed "at risk".
In a now-deleted video posted to Facebook on Friday night, a number of NSW police and child protection workers appear to enact an order for the removal of the 4-year-old boy, while his distressed mother watches on.
The young boy, who suffers cerebral palsy, was last month the subject of a cross-border Amber Alert after his 26-year-old mother removed him from Brisbane's Lady Cilento Hospital before doctors could administer treatment.
The boy's mother has claimed she believes her son's condition is a result of vaccination and has built a loyal social media following through her aversion to Western science-based medicine. She claims instead to be healing her son through medicinal cannabis and organic food.
In a video posted to social media in January, she claimed Queensland child safety authorities ordered her to take the boy to hospital to be fed "this formula synthetic s**t".
Last night's removal of Chase was also issued on medical grounds following the results of a recent hospital blood test.
NSW police confirmed to Mamamia this morning that a young boy had been taken into the care of authorities.
The mother said she prefers to treat her son with natural remedies and diet. Source: iStock.
"At 4.30pm on Friday the 19th police attended a premises on Hunter Street in Newcastle in support of Family and Corrective Services regarding a child at risk," a spokesperson said.
"After extensive negotiations, a four-year-old boy was taken to John Hunter hospital for medical assessment."
The child is reportedly still in the care of authorities.

Julie Peasgood reports from Saga Sapphire in Anzac Cove as tribute is paid to the thousands who lost their lives in the Gallipoli campaign 100 years ago.
As the early morning darkness envelops the once bloodied battlefields of Gallipoli, the only sound is the gentle lapping of waves.
Then the uniquely Antipodean hum of a single didgeridoo, heralding the beginning of the centenary commemoration for thousands of allied troops who lost their lives on the shores of the Dardanelles.
It is 4.30am and our ship, Saga Sapphire, is bordering Anzac Cove, where Australians and New Zealanders – alongside their British counterparts – have arrived in unprecedented numbers to pay homage to their courageous ancestors, many of whom never lived beyond their teens.
On 25 April 1915, at precisely this time, the first troops landed and the ANZAC (Australia and New Zealand Army Corps) legend was born.
Passengers gather on deck to remember the sacrifice of 46,000 Commonwealth soldiers who perished here.
The emotion is palpable as a roll call of the men who died is played out, together with messages from loved ones.
Heads of state from around the world have come together for this momentous event. Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbot, speaks of ordinary men doing extraordinary things.
Dawn light filters through a cobalt sky as Prince Charles, accompanied today by his son Prince Harry, delivers a moving reading of one soldier's last letter to his beloved wife. It is written with a devastating simplicity that reduces both men and women around us to silent tears.
Wreaths are laid to the strains of a single bagpipe. We all stand for the final blessing, including the new generations of Australians and New Zealanders who have travelled here to honour the fallen. The ceremony concludes with the singing of the Turkish, Australian and New Zealand National Anthems.
One voice in our midst rises above all the rest in its purity, as Dame Kiri Te Kanawa joins her compatriots in singing their country's national song. Like all of us she is here to commemorate one of the most significant days in history.
The traditional drink of rum and milk is served on Saga Sapphire at the close of the ceremony, served with ANZAC biscuits, and passengers begin to speak of their own reasons for being here.
The Turkish representative at today's memorial spoke some of the following words from the Kemal Atatürk Memorial on Anzac Parade in Canberra.
