The fourth installment of James Brown's legendary 'Live at the Apollo' series will see an LP release for Record Store Day 2016.

All the greats of classic soul played the Apollo, but no one ruled the place quite like James Brown did. When he died in 2006, his body lay in state on the same famous stage where he'd cut his career-defining Live at the Apollo album four decades earlier. Thousands lined the sidewalks around the block as an imperial horse-drawn carriage delivered the casket to the theater, with Mr. Brown's recorded voice howling "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" from an open-air loudspeaker.
Officially, Brown recorded three live albums at the Apollo: the blockbuster 1963 original, 1968's Live at the Apollo, Volume II, and Revolution of the Mind, a take-no-prisoners double album also known as Vol. III – the one with the bandleader posing behind bars on the cover.
Last year, Universal Records quietly slipped a Live at the Apollo Volume IV onto streaming services – a decades-buried vault find featuring the leader showcasing his backing band, the J.B.'s, at his favorite venue. Now, for this year's Record Store Day, the album will be available for the first time in physical form via the reissue label Get On Down, in an edition titled Get Down at the Apollo With the J.B.'s and credited to the James Brown Revue.

The recording features showcase sets by two of the best-known, most-sampled members of the James Brown Revue, Lyn Collins, who preaches on an extended, high-rolling version of "Think (About It)," and Bobby Byrd, who knocks out his signature song, "I Know You Got Soul."
But make no mistake, says Fred Wesley, the trombonist who by the time of Volume IV had become band director and arranger: James Brown, who can be heard playing organ on the album, was always in charge.
"He never actually stepped aside," said Wesley from Abu Dhabi, where he's been taking part in a summit on funk music sponsored by New York University. "He always had his feet, his hands, his mind in it. He was always into it. He never stepped all the way out of it. He was unpredictable, you know?"
At the time of the shows heard on Volume IV – back-to-back dates in September 1972 – Wesley had been back in the James Brown fold for just a matter of months. By the end of the Sixties, he'd left Brown's band as part of a mass exodus over short pay.
For replacements, Brown recruited a young bar band from Cincinnati known as the Pacemakers, led by 19-year-old Bootsy Collins and his brother Catfish. As Brown's new backing band, they soon became known as the J.B.'s. But their tenure with Brown would last less than a year.
"Bootsy never liked taking orders," Wesley explained. "He was a star, and James Brown was a star. But Bootsy respected James, and James Brown respected Bootsy for being an excellent bass player. They just realized it wasn't gonna work together."
While in exile, Wesley picked up with a soul act in California called Sam and the Goodtimers, which featured former members of Ike and Tina Turner's touring group. But the band was struggling to find gigs, and when Brown offered to make Fred the band director, he jumped at the chance. Brown tried to kiss him when he came back, he says.
For Wesley, at first it seemed like a daunting task to replace Bootsy and the original J.B.'s. Brown gave him two weeks: "He said, 'Whip 'em into shape. I'm going home.'"
When Brown came back, Wesley wasn't sure what he had. Drummer John "Jabo" Starks was a James Brown veteran, and bassist Fred Thomas and guitarist Hearlon "Cheese" Martin were naturals. But the new members of the horn section were green.
"Then James Brown got in front of them, and they locked in like they'd been together forever," Wesley recalls. "Something about that James Brown magnetism pulled 'em together. And they turned into a dynamic band."
The album features covers of several hits of the day, including Collins singing the Staple Singers' "I'll Take You There," Byrd performing the bluesy Stax ballad "(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right," and Brown talking social justice over a nod to the Jackson 5's "Never Can Say Goodbye."
Even when Michael Jackson was still a kid, Brown recognized him as a potential rival, says Wesley. Later, of course, they became mutual admirers. But in 1972, James Brown would not be challenged.
"He didn't want anybody to take his spot as the Hardest Working Man in Show Business," Wesley says.

HomeMusicThe Infamous Anti-Hero: Taylor Swift's New Song from the Darkest of Nights
Last night, Taylor Swift released her newest song from the album "Midnights." The song is titled "The Anti-Hero" and is a dark ballad about a person who has been hurt by love. This song is a departure from Swift's usual upbeat country music style, and shows her range as an artist. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Swift said that the song is about "a person who doesn't necessarily have the most heroic job but they're kind of like the hero of their own story."
This is evident in the lyrics, which talk about a person who has been through a lot of pain but still manages to get up every morning and face the world. The song is a powerful ballad that will resonate with many people who have been hurt by love.
Swift's ability to write songs that speak to her fans' experiences is one of the things that makes her such a successful artist. "The Anti-Hero" is sure to be a favorite among Swift's fans, and will likely be played on repeat for many months to come.

By his side. Duane "Dog" Chapman is still trying to cope with the death of his beloved wife, Beth Chapman, and he revealed that her dogs, Lola and Duke, have actually been a great comfort for him during this tough time. While chatting exclusively with In Touch, the WGN America alum gave an update about his life and shared how the pooches are also grieving the loss of Beth. Watch the exclusive interview in the video above for more details on how Lola and Duke are showing him love.
"They're in Hawaii and I'm in Colorado and I want my dogs cause they know mommy's not there and they come to me and they just will not leave me. They're like boom, boom — like two lions, they walk around," the Dog's Most Wanted star, 66, said. "At 9:30 they come and tell me come to bed."
Duane explained that he needs the dogs with him as much as possible, especially because they were her dogs. "[Beth] slept, you know, one side me, the other, she facing the bed, her side's always the left and they get like on her side one night — she would not let them in the bed," he explained. "Only the blind dog she let in the bed — But the other two, no. But now, they're right where she slept and then they put their noses and all that under the sheets."
The reality star also told a sad story about Beth's oldest dog who is vision impaired and waits in the bathroom every night for her. "He sits right by the toilet all day long. I called [Cecily] last night and said, 'Where's OG?' She goes, 'He's in the bathroom again' because that's where mom would come in to use the bathroom coming in, you know, from doing something. And he got her right there. So he just can't see a thing and he's just sitting there waiting for her," Duane told In Touch.
Duane's wife, Beth, sadly passed away on June 26, 2019, after a long battle with cancer, but she's continued to inspire fans with her strength and bravery. In the wake of her death, the reality star and his loved ones have honored her with a memorial service in Hawaii and Colorado.
She is clearly so missed.
Dog's Most Wanted premieres on Wednesday, September 4 at 9 p.m. ET on WGN.

A 50-Class reproduction of the famous German fighter. Retracts and flaps accurately recreate the flight syle of the original Focke Wulf. Regarded as a genius of his time, the German engineer Kurt Tank designed the FOCKE-WULF Fw190 that was to become one of the Germany's most formidable fighter planes. Flying alongside the Messerschmitt Me (Bf)109 strike fighter, the FOCKE-WULF won favor with German pilots due to it's lower wing load and greater agility that gave it the performance advantages to win control of the contest. From the many variations produced, Kyosho has chosen the air-cooled engine design for this product series.
The lightweight balsa construction is more than 90% pre-assembled, leaving only a few small steps for completion. The characteristic coloring has been recreated with the highly-detailed printed color film, expertly pre-covered for stunning realism. Even the split flaps and tire covers of the original design have been recreated in the open-close retractable undercarriage. The 50-class engine provides wide flight capabilities including dynamic stunt capability in the hands of expert fliers.Equipped with retractable landing gear and pre-shaped linkage rods. Connect the wheel housing so tire covers open and close.Includes engine mount that allows many engine types to be loaded, such as standard specification 4-cycle 50 class engines.
Fuselage is of lightweight balsa construction and is almost completely factory finished.
Pre-covered with realistic camouflage printed master coat.
Equipped with retractable undercarriage, with completed linkage set up.
Includes split flaps as standard equipment, useful in takeoffs and landings and also ideal for various flight styles.
Includes uniquely shaped spinner which can be use as a 2 bladed spinner or 3 bladed one.
Includes tire covers with realistic movement which connect to the retractable undercarriage.
Rudder connected tail wheel provides control for scale taxiing.
Pre-painted FRP cowling recreates the detail of the subtle curves.

Our Candidate Questionnaire
Do you have a story to share with us about how policy has affected you, your job or your family? Click here to e-mail it to us. Below are a few stories from our members and retirees about how the decisions of those we elect impact us.
Prioritizing Fair Trade
The Assurance All-Season tire was developed at Goodyear's Gadsden, Ala., factory in 2014. Now, however, some, or possibly all of them, are built in a brand-new, half-billion-dollar Goodyear plant in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. And Goodyear is furloughing workers in Gadsden, where Mickey Ray Williams is president of USW Local 12.
Williams' members took pay cuts in 2006, 2009 and 2013. But American workers can't compete with Mexican workers earning $2 to $6 an hour. Williams said many of the Alabama workers Goodyear laid off were young. "When you look at them and they have their little kids with them, it is just so sad. They are wondering, 'Where do we go from here?' A lot of them want to come back to work. They don't understand why an iconic American company would run out from under them."
Fighting for Affordable Health Care
Kim Shiner, a trustee for Local 5652 and her unit's recording secretary, was already worried about health care costs when she and her fellow bargaining committee members began negotiations last June. Shiner has a family of four, and her employer, Intermetro, made it clear that it wanted workers to shoulder a larger portion of this expense.
Then, during negotiations, Shiner was diagnosed with breast cancer. While her prognosis is good, her premium and deductible left her with significant out-of-pocket costs from her treatment.
"We were able to stop an increase in health care contributions in bargaining this year, but that doesn't mean the company's not going to come back and ask for one later," said Shiner. "My husband I and work incredibly hard, and if you get sick – really sick – you're still so vulnerable. That's a lot of money coming out of a working person's paycheck."
Taking Back the Right to Organize
Victoria Whipple, a quality control worker at Kumho Tire in Macon, Ga., got involved in a USW organizing drive looking for a voice in her workplace. In return, the company suspended her without pay. She was eight months pregnant at the time and had seven other kids to take care of at home.
"When this happened to me, I realized how vulnerable the workers are when the company has all the power," said Whipple.
The Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act was designed to help people like Whipple. Among other safeguards, the bill would fine employers up to $50,000 for retaliating against union supporters during organizing drives. It would also require the National Labor Relations Board to go to court to seek the immediate reinstatement of workers who are suspended or fired for organizing. The bill was poised to pass the House as USW@Work went to press, but it faces a significant uphill battle in the Senate.
Rebuilding America's Infrastructure
Dustin Dyer, a maintenance worker at cement manufacturer LafargeHolcim and a District 8 Next Gen coordinator, thinks a lot about the future. And that future would be brighter for America's workers, he believes, if politicians could reach across the aisle to support a much-needed infrastructure investment, especially one that explicitly calls for American-made materials.
"Our quarry supplies cement for New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and beyond," said Dyer, a member of Local 00033 in Hagerstown, Md. "It's used to build roads, schools, churches, hospitals, bridges and many other things. Thousands of jobs depend on the quarry.
"Whatever political party and whatever candidates can create jobs in America, they have my vote. I'm proud to provide a product that our country needs and will continue to need. We have to source products like this domestically so that we can keep the American dream alive and well."
Protecting Workers
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act last year, after intense lobbying by the USW and others. It directed OSHA to issue a standard requiring health care and social service employers to write and implement a workplace violence prevention plan to protect their employees from violent incidents. Unfortunately, the Senate has not yet brought it to a vote.
"Recent patient violence against staff at my hospital has led to nurses with broken jaws, open facial wounds, back injuries requiring surgery, and injuries from a chair being smashed over a nurse's head," said Local 4-200 President Judy Danella in support of the bill. "Injuries from combative patients shouldn't just be part of the job. Health care workers need strong protections so they can provide quality patient care without fear of violence and injury."
#USWVOICES


On Sunday September 6th 2015 Christians around the North East gathered together in Durham Cathedral to celebrate our common call to proclaim and live the Gospel with joy and hope. Many hundreds of people filled the Cathedral for this inspiring service which highlighted the growing partnership between Anglicans and Catholics in the service of the Gospel.
The service was built around the 3Ps - prayer, peace and the poor - in the form of a joint public conversation between the Anglican Archbishop John Sentamu and the Catholic Archbishop Malcolm McMahon in the context of joyful service of prayer and praise.
After the dialogue by the Archbishops, all members of the congregation were given a specially-commissioned card, and invited to give this card to a neighbour, friend or family member as an invitation to explore the life of faith.
The service ended with a commissioning of all present by Bishop Paul Butler, Bishop of Durham, and Bishop Seamus Cunningham, Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle, to go out and spread the Good News to all.
We are happy to see us all gathered together today in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Across every denomination the Holy Spirit is inspiring, provoking and leading the Church of Jesus Christ to proclaim the Good News in this land. We can only do this by living the joy of the Gospel in our everyday lives.
To be commissioned to share the good news with another, as will happen in this service, is a wonderful privilege. For the best decision anyone can ever make, at any time, in any place, is to follow Jesus Christ and that's what we are asked to do, to be his "missionary disciples" and to bring his message of love, mercy and forgiveness to others. To do this effectively, we need to work together wherever possible and so we are pleased to see that this service is built around 3 'Ps': prayer, peace and poverty because this is what Pope Francis suggested in one of his meetings with Archbishop Justin Welby as a possible way forward together.
Today in this great cathedral, we pray that God would empower us all that we may know the height, depth, breadth and width of his love for each of us, and, inspired by this transforming love, we may be compelled joyfully to share this love with others for the building up of his kingdom and the evangelisation of this land.

This spring, the Web.com and PGA Tours sanctioned the first annual North Mississippi Classic Golf tournament. The Web.com Tour is a well-renown tour that hosts tournaments in five locations across the United States, including California, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and now Mississippi. It was held April 15-22, 2018 at the Country Club of Oxford.
There were 156 players competing over seven days in which part of the $550,000 was awarded to the top three players, and the rest was given to Century Club Charities. The Web.com and PGA Tour sanctioned this event in which 156 players compete for a total of $550,000.

Steve Jent, executive director of Century Club Charities, works behind the scenes to make this event happen. He and his team work to keep the daily logistics of the tournament running smoothly.
"I'm in charge of the team that puts on the tournament from an operational standpoint," he said. "In terms of hospitality, running the pro-am and everything for general spectators, my staff runs it from that standpoint."
Each day of the tournament gets more competitive. To begin the week, there are two days of practice. The next, there is a pro-am in which amateur golfers play against the Web.com professionals.

The tournament was hosted at the Country Club of Oxford. Resident and Range Chair Steve Downing shared his thoughts about the significance of the event for the Oxford community and the work of the charities involved.
"This is a big deal for Oxford and the Country Club community," he said. "There is only 20-something of these events worldwide everywhere. It's very well put together. The staff has been great to work with."
"The total money raised in the tour comes from multiple sources: the Web.com, Web.com Tour, and sponsors. Jent said: "What we hope is that after the hospitality bills, the gift packages, it all adds up. But we hope to have enough money left over to give to charity."

"There are 25 pros who have a team of four with them. The sponsors of those pros are putting in about $8,000 per grouping, so that's going to raise about a couple hundred thousands dollars for charity. They have other sponsors for all the name brands. It's a great thing. Through this one charity, it will be parceled out to others."
On the last Sunday of the week, Eric Axley was announced the champion of the 2018 North Mississippi Classic and received the $99,000 prize.

The Future of Islam
By Youssef Chouhoud
(March 17, 2010) – According to a recent Gallup poll, a majority of Americans still have little to no knowledge of Islam's basic tenets. More disheartening, if not outright frightening, is that even given this avowed lack of knowledge, a sizeable percentage of US citizens nonetheless maintain a negative perception of Muslims.
So, either an informed, nuanced understanding of Islam is being obscured by the voluminous – and venomous – misinformation that clutters the media, or an accessible and authoritative account of what Muslims truly believe and how they interact with the world around them simply hasn't been produced.
John Esposito, given his celebrity and scholarship, is among perhaps only a handful of individuals who have met both these prospective challenges head-on with some success. His latest offering in a line of timely scholarly works, The Future of Islam, provides a refreshingly holistic assessment of the challenges Muslims face from increased pluralism on the one hand, and heightened hostility on the other.
Both novice and more advanced readers on the subject will find much of Esposito's narrative as insightful as it is comprehensive. The first chapter of the book includes a standard primer on the five pillars, the divisions between Sunni and Shia, and some brief remarks on the more "controversial" subjects of sharia, Islamic principles, and jihad, a spiritual and religious effort. This introductory information is supplemented, however, with a less common examination of the racial and intellectual diversity of Muslims in the West, and an even rarer assessment of the legitimate grievances Muslims around the world have with America and its allies.
For those possessing a firmer grasp of Islamic beliefs and attitudes, this book doubles as a clear and concise distillation of the Western Muslim experience. From the factors that distinguish Muslim Americans from their European counterparts, to the distinction between integration and assimilation, to the misapplication of terms such as "moderate" and "fundamentalist", Esposito's fluid analysis on these topics, often backed by empirical data, makes even the most complex phenomena easily digestible.
At its core, this book is an examination of the current prospects for Muslim reformers around the globe. By reform, Esposito ostensibly is referring to the reinterpretation of Qur'an and hadith, sayings of the prophet Muhammad, to produce new legal and social models that better meet the challenges of an ever more globalised world.
While acknowledging the breadth of Islamic jurisprudence and of debates over theological matters, Esposito nonetheless promotes certain positions, both implicitly and explicitly, throughout his narrative, including a liberal interpretation of women's rights, as exhibited through the likes of Muslim American scholar Amina Wadud; a more pluralistic approach to salvation, in contrast to the belief in salvific exclusivity; and the legitimacy and expansion of lay ijtihad, an Islamic tradition of creative reasoning, which undercuts the traditional role of ulema, those versed in Islamic jurisprudence, are all featured prominently in Esposito's discussion of reform and "a new way forward" (a phrase he borrows from US President Barack Obama's inauguration speech).
To be fair, Esposito is careful not to dismiss more traditional or conservative positions in Islam. He clearly cautions against facile labeling of a person or group as "extreme" simply because their understanding of a particular issue doesn't mesh with a Western, supposedly enlightened perspective. Moreover, Esposito sincerely highlights the work of Islamic jurists and activists such as Egyptian scholar Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, Egyptian televangelist Amr Khalid, and Pakistani scholar Farhat Hashmi.
Esposito's keen socio-political acumen and sense of historical perspective clearly manifest with his concluding remarks on the future of Muslim-Western relations. He once again underscores that majorities of Muslims globally don't conflict with the West on religious or civilisational grounds, but distinguish between various nation-states based upon their policies. Esposito goes on to encourage Western powers to curtail and ultimately eliminate their support for authoritarian regimes across the Muslim world, and to reconcile with the fact that clear majorities in these countries wish to see Islam play a greater role in government.
Finally, to counteract the viral spread of Islamophobia, Esposito emphasises that Americans and Europeans must acknowledge a missing link in what Jews and Christians have come to regard as a shared heritage. Only when Muslims are no longer viewed as the "other," but as integral elements of a rich Judeo-Christian-Islamic history, can serious headway be made against the forces of extremism.

Dear Anna is an atmospheric short-story/puzzle game about a Count who is mourning his recently deceased wife. The game is designed for a game-pad, but is perfectly playable with just your keyboard too.
Music, Game & Art created by Kyon Edelenbosch.
Game-pad: L-joystick = movement | X=Use/pickup | O = Return/Exit.
Keyboard: ASDW = movement | Q = Use/pickup | E = Return/Exit.
Thanks to Cloaked Games for the last minute voice acting.
Music was well done, brought the right athmosphere. Narrator's voice was good, was it your own? Game was bit short but tight package. Pacing was good enough, but could have not been any slower, otherwise would have irritated me.
Surface area is set for correct proportions when player switch to fullscreen/windowed. (Code is executed when pressed button).
Because game is already fullscreen, player doesn't press for fullscreen and therefore game doesn't execute code to set surface area to right proportions.
About the theme, many had idea of Count Dracula, but the execution was here notable factor.
This was great entry for the jam, it is too bad that no more have had rated this game.
The pace is too slow. I know it's not intended to be fast, but the character is a tad too slow and everything feels like it's slowed down. A bit faster would have been better. Even slightly.
Although the countdown is actually there, it didn't feel like it was central to the game. I didn't feel like the game had a reason to really fit the theme.
You should adapt the text depending on what the player uses. For example, if a controller is plugged, maybe display its controls; when it's not, don't. A majority of people will play it in their keyboard, so it's confusing to have to make the translation ourselves.
As Fachewa mentioned, it was unclear we got the key or not. The only reason I opened the door was because I assumed it triggered it since there was nothing else to do.
Aside that, the game is remarkable! The atmosphere is astounding. Obviously getting a 10 in immersion. You nailed that perfectly and the voice acting was also pretty good. It gave me strong Silent Hill vibes as its atmosphere and story-telling style was particular, and I think your game has that pretty well done. Especially in its metaphorical sense. I love how we can interpret things ourselves and it makes the game open to our imagination (although I think we don't have many ways to interpret it). The visuals served that pretty well and was tied with appropriate sounds. That was very well executed!
Really a pretty solid entry! I just wish the theme would be a bit more important to the gameplay itself.
Loved it! Really impressive visuals. Everything seems really polished for a jam game. I also like how you interpreted the theme.
The story and puzzles are a little simple, but it's not that big of a problem, especially with the other aspects of the game being so good.
One "real" issue (not that big though) for me: it's not clear that you get a key (of something else) in the closed box. I didn't even try the door at first because I wanted to explore the room I was in, then I opened the box and it seemed there was nothing inside (I mean, maybe that's intended). I had to start again after finishing the game to understand that I didn't miss anything and that the door was closed at first.
Oh and I'll add something to the command prompt: maybe have something that adapts based on the title screen input? I can't imagine trying everything on my keyboard to find what you decided was the interact button (you see everything in jams, sometimes it's space, sometimes Z, could even be Shift..). I was on a controller so that was ok, but still a little weird since you used the playstation mapping, and most people use an xbox controller on PC, I think.
I'm going to be as honest as I possibly can.
It's incredibly remarkable that you were able to produce this in 48 hours. You should be very proud of this.
You should also be very proud of the fact that your game is one of the only ones with an actual story (that I've seen so far). The story execution was great; the graphics, the mood that the music provided, and the feel of the game contributed to the Count's depression. You did an excellent job with that.
I'm going to be a bit nit-picky here. Firstly, the font didn't do a whole lot for me. You chose a very basic font, and I feel that was one area which could have contributed to the story and feel in an even greater way.
Secondly, the Count's starts and stops in movement are abrupt and inhuman-looking. Gradual starts and stops in his walking would give the game just a little more polish.
Additionally, playing on a keyboard, it was a little confusing when the game told me to press X to open. I knew that meant Q, but it would be best if all the tooltips changed depending on whether or not a gamepad is plugged in.
Lastly, the Count's periodic tremors got to be kinda annoying when I'm trying to walk somewhere and suddenly he's collapsed on his knees.
I think you did a great job with this game, and you picked a very unique route to go with this game jam, albeit, your connection to the theme is rather weak.
It ran at 10fps for me, I wasn't sure if that was intentional. It's a very difficult thing to make a narrative point and click puzzle game fun, it's something that has to take more than 48 hours to do. This was a very ambitious game but I don't think it nails the fun factor of a point and click. Part of that is the pacing of it, I solved a few puzzles but felt punished if I had to walk to the other side of a room to check if I missed something because the slow walking. I think the main issue was the 10fps. Mechanically sometimes it's difficult to identify where the mouse has to be to interact with something.
edit - Played it in windowed mode and it was much more enjoyable. Shame it ends so soon!
That's a shame to hear. 10 fps really isn't intentional! I can imagine it ruining all the fun. It could have something to do with going full screen. Or did the fps stay 10 in windowed mode? Could you maybe check for me? (this issue has occurred to me before when making a game using .swf sprites like this one) Thanks for the feedback though!
Amazing game, the sound, music and voice acting was really polished and well done.
Overall a great game, good job.

It's almost an unwritten law of ecommerce that when Google shifts policies, the ripples are felt through every corner of the world. Eventually, however, the shock fades and retailers quickly adapt to the new system. Last year's evolution of Google Product Search into Google Shopping is a perfect example of this phenomenon, and one that wound up creating a much better ecommerce experience for consumers. The main perk, as with any data-oriented system, is the potential for customisation. There are many different ways the retailers can take advantage of the new system, but we'll look through a few of the best ways to maximise your results with Google Shopping for the upcoming year.
One of the most important things to consider for retailers working with Google Shopping is that all listings on the service accurately reflect any changes that are made on your website. This is not merely good practice; Google may temporarily suspend your account or completely remove your listings from the system. Fortunately, updating data is fairly easy through Google product feeds.
The next critical element to consider is which keywords you choose to target with your listings. This is where any retailer who's been carefully tracking their own sales data can really shine. By accurately matching your ads and targets to the intents of searches, rather than simple keyword matches, you can dramatically improve the click-through and conversion rates associated with your ads, which will result in a large net benefit on the bottom line. If you haven't been tracking your keyword targets as diligently as you could have been, it may require a larger initial investment of both money and analytics time to determine your optimal targets.
When you're preparing your ad listings, known as Google Product Listing Ads (or PLAs for short), be sure to include the words and phrases that you've been using as PPC keywords in your other campaigns. Instead of targeting the keywords explicitly, as in an Adwords campaign, PLAs use your product descriptions and titles as a means of determining relevancy.
Try to put yourself in the mind of a shopper when you're crafting these sections, as they can be the make-or-break elements of your success. As with any Google listings, ensuring a decent click-through rate can be accomplished by making your listing stand out from the rest. In this case, eye-catching high quality imagery and specific promotional text can be leveraged to boost your CTR, so choose these just as carefully as your product titles and descriptions.
Finally, as with any data-based system, it's absolutely crucial to track, test, and optimize your listings. Google provides excellent tools for comparing the relative merits of different listings, so be sure to take advantage of the tools to make sure you're not leaving money on the table!

Hillsborough deputies bust state-wide burglary ring
TAMPA (FOX 13) - Hillsborough County deputies, along with Miami authorities, say they've busted a major burglary business ring that spanned much of the state.
Several businesses in the Bay Area were hit.
On September 4, at least four men broke through a side wall at a salon supply warehouse called Global Beauty Image on West Waters. They stole more than $100,000 worth of products.
"My first thought it was someone that doesn't want to work," said employee Lina Gomez.
Two weeks later, deputies say the thieves were back at it, this time stealing a pair of vans from two businesses in the Corporex Business Park. The vans were used to burglarize a third business there, CCTV Core. They got $300,000 worth of high tech AV equipment. After that, they fled south.
"A lot of times these cases are exported to Miami and then they're exported to other parts of the world and they get big money out of that," said Hillsborough County Sheriff spokesperson Larry McKinnon.
This week, deputies put an end it all. They arrested four men from the Miami area, including 48-year-old Eduardo Batista and his son Yosvany. They also arrested Alberto Diaz Napoles and his son Alberto Hernandez Napoles. Officials are still tracking two others.
"We're excited to be able to shut down such an organized network of burglaries that have reached out through the state of Florida," said McKinnon.


Enjoyed staying in the Yoho National Park in the little town of Field consisting of about two streets. Had breakfast at Truffle Pig where I had stayed, i.e. a very limited menu! I had French toast and then was on my way to the Natural Bridge, an impressive natural rock formation that spans the flow of the Kicking Horse River and then to emerald lake, renowned for its vivid coloring. It took me about 2 hours to walk all the way around…Drove over to the Takakkaw Falls 833 feet high and also stopped at the famous spiral tunnels opened in 1909.
Drove back to the Truffle Pig for lunch, i.e. grilled salmon salad with goat cheese and apple chutney and crème brulee and then on to Lake Louise, an emerald colored glacial lake in the Banff National Park. Walked the lakeshore trail to the end of the lake which took about an hour and then visited the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Followed the Bow Parkway 1A, a very scenic drive, to Johnston Canyon Resort where I stayed a couple nights in a little cabin about 25 minutes from downtown Banff. Went into town for dinner in the Juniper Hotel at the Juniper Bistro and had tuna poke with cucumber, seaweed and crisp wild rice and a beautifully presented chocolate tart. Excellent meal.
In the morning after breakfast in town at Wild Flour Bakery on Bear Street I walked to Bow Valley Falls nearby. Afterwards I visited the Cave and Basin Historic site where you can go into an underground cavern. It is also the site of natural thermal mineral springs around which Canada's first national park, Banff National Park, was established. There is a small walking trail through the thermal pools which is quite interesting as well. Stopped for a quick egg salad sandwich and cookie and then reserved an icefield tour near Jasper for the next day.
Drove back to Johnston Resort, parked the car near my cabin and hiked the lower and then upper falls which were very beautiful with lots of creeks, wild life, etc. Back into town for dinner at Block Kitchen Bar, small little restaurant, cozy and quaint. Sat at the bar and had crispy duck spring rolls, salad greens with quinoa, beets, etc. and chocolate pot of cream – quite delicious!
Early breakfast at Wild Flour Bakery and picked up a ginger cookie "for the road". Headed up Highway 93 to the icefields. First stopped at Herman Lake and then Bow Lake where I walked around the lake for about 30 minutes enjoying the beauty of the mountains reflected in the lake. Stopped at wilderness lake for a lookout and then at "crossing" where food was available. Got some delicious spicy tomato soup which I had with some hot tea and my ginger cookie. Really cold out!!!
Arrived at the icefields, parked my car easily and was in plenty of time for my 2:15 p.m. reservation. Watched a video about the icefields and then started the glacier adventure where about 25 of us drove onto the Athabasca glacier where we had about 30 minutes – awesome. Afterwards I took the self-guided skywalk tour which was very interesting. The skywalk is a steel bridge arcing 11.5 feet out over the Sunwapta valley. The audio tour explains the glaciers, wild life, etc. and it takes at least an hour to really enjoy it.
Drove into the Jasper National Park and stopped at Becker's Chalets where I stayed in a wonderful private cabin for two nights. This cabin was a lot bigger than the one in Johnston Resort, i.e. I had a kitchen, sitting room, bedroom, etc. It was delightful. Drove into town which took all of 10 minutes and had dinner at Raven, i.e. Raven nicoise with rare tuna, fingerling potatoes, etc. and chocolate pecan tart. Really delicious and nice relaxing atmosphere. The town seems like a ski resort town, small, quaint and with lots of little shops.
Bran muffin at Bear Paw bakery in the morning and then drove to Maligne Canyon where I took a fabulous 2 hour hike along the Athabasca River, i.e. many waterfalls, deep canyons, etc. Stopped at the Fairmont Hotel (Jasper Lodge) for lunch overlooking the lake and had potato bacon soup and a small kale salad with goat cheese and hazelnuts.
Drove up to Pyramid Lake and walked across the bridge to pyramid island which was rather unique. Wandered around the town a bit and stopped for tea and a cookie before returning to my chalet where I "chilled" for a bit. It was nice and cozy. Returned to Raven to dinner and had "Buddha bowl" with arugula, quinoa, black beans, chicken, butternut square and banana chips which was really good and another chocolate pecan tart. Great little restaurant.
Breakfast at Bear Paws and I picked up an egg salad sandwich and rhubarb bar for later as I would be driving down the icefield to Invermere and there wasn't much to choose from on the way up. Stopped at the five lakes trail and spent about 2 hours hiking the five lakes, each of which was unique and so beautiful. Stopped at Athabasca falls, Alberta's longest and Sunwapta Falls – both gorgeous.
I had missed Peyto Lake on the way up so stopped there and walked up to the Summit for a view of the lake and then stopped again at Bow Lake where there were some tables overlooking the lake and had my sandwich and cookie. There was also a place to get some hot water for tea which worked for me.
On to Kootenay National Park and stopped at the continental divide which denotes the dividing line between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and my final stop was at Marble Canyon with its turquoise waters of Tukumm Creek and a carved deep narrow gorge crossing the water on seven bridges. Such beauty!
Drove on into Invermere where I stayed at the Mountain View B&B a ways out of town. Had dinner at Birchwood on 13th street, i.e. arugula salad with apples, goat cheese, kohlrabi and hazelnuts and a chocolate terrine. Very nice and unexpectly delicious for an out of the way town.
Breakfast in town and then walked the old coach trail where the old coaches and Model T's used to drive. Also took the Columbia River headwater walk through the changing leaves. Stopped at Fort Steele Heritage town and thoroughly enjoying visiting the 60 restored heritage buildings, i.e. barber shop, bakery, old hotel, etc. Charming. Drove into Fernie where I walked 2nd street and found the Crumb Café where I had lunch. Cute little town. Checked into the Lizard Creek Resort about 10 minutes from town which was a really nice place to stay. Dinner later at Nevados serving innovative Latin tapas, i.e. ceviche with plantain chips, pulled pork arepa and churro bites with caramel and chocolate sauces.
Delicious blueberry muffin at a little café in the morning and picked up a freshly made ginger cookie to take along. Walked along the Elk River for about an hour and then headed to Nelson. Stopped in Cresson for an egg salad sandwich and walked around a bit and then drove around the Kootenay Lake on the 3A. Stopped at the Glass house built by the former funeral director David Brown in the 1950s. He constructed its walls from more than 500,000 empty embalming fluid bottles. There is a little tour of the inside which is quite elegant.
Drove on to the Kootenay bay to catch the lake ferry. Had planned to catch the 2 p.m. ferry but only a small one was running and it was full so I caught the 3:50 p.m. one instead. Took about 30 minutes to cross the lake and it was free!!! Arrived in Nelson about 5:30 p.m. and wandered Vernon and Baker Streets to see some of the historic buildings it is known for. Spent about an hour in the Touchstones Museum of Art which dealt with the first nation's heritage, the explorers, miners, steamship captains, etc. Very interesting and I was happy it was open late.
Stayed at Beach Taghum bed and breakfast and had dinner in town at Sage Tapas and Wine Bar, i.e. arugula and beet carpaccio salad with apples and goat cheese and chocolate torte with dulce de leche.
Breakfast at Oso, a fabulous bakery in town. Had a delicious cinnamon/pecan bun and then walked around the lake for an hour.
Drove to Oliver, north of Osoyoos for lunch at Miradoro in the Tinhorn Creek Winery. Sat outside on the patio overlooking the lake and although a bit windy it was lovely. Had tuna with potatoes and seaweed slivers and chocolate budino. Such a delicious lunch.
Drove on to Kelowna, first stopping at the Geert Maas sculpture garden highlighting the works of this internationally acclaimed artist. His sculptures were amazing. Wandered around the town a few minutes but didn't really like it much. Found my airbnb and it was fantastic, i.e. a private studio apartment. Very comfortable. Later in the evening I drove to Basil and Mint which was about 25 minutes away and it was very hard to find a parking place. Food was nice. I ordered the 3 course menu and had poached pear salad with arugula and toasted hazelnuts, roast duck with cranberry sauce and horseradish mashed potatoes and crème brulee for dessert. Probably one of the best restaurants in town.
Drove to Peachland in the morning for breakfast at Bliss Bakery on the waterfront. A fabulous bakery with delicious muffins and great coffee. Walked for about an hour into the small town, visited the little art museum and then drove back to Oliver for lunch at the Sonora Room in the Burrowing Owl Winery. Sat outside on the patio overlooking the vineyard and had a tuna nicoise open-faced on focaccia with tomato jam, tapenade and greens and chocolate crème brulee.
Stopped at the NK'MIP desert cultural center to learn about the Osoyoos Indian band living culture and the desert creatures. There is a nice trail outside through interesting plants with information, etc.
Final stop before heading back to the U.S. was the Desert Model Railroad with its 4000 sq feet of miniature villages, towns, etc. and 45 computer controlled trains weaving through these villages and towns. It was really fun to see. Arrived in Pateros about 6 p.m. and had a delicious tomato roasted pepper soup at the only place in town to eat, i.e. the Bakery. Had picked up a chocolate cookie at Bliss Bakery in the morning so had that as well with a hot cup of tea. Perfect. Stayed at Howard's, expensive but very nice.
Took a walk along the Constitution Trail and then had a delicious chocolate nutella pastry at First & Union. Drove to the 268 foot Snoqualmes Falls and walked the 0.7 mile trail from the upper falls viewpoint to the lower falls viewpoint. Returned my car and checked into my airbnb on 16th Street. Had a fun dinner at the Indian style restaurant Poppy with my niece, i.e. thalis with salmon and chicken and lots of little tasty dishes to go with.
Took a walk in the morning almost to Pike Market and had a delicious almond croissant and Seattle's famous coffee at a little café. Lunch at Pink Door in Post Alley, a very popular ecletic spot with great food. Shared some spicy corn, pizza with arugula and prosciutto and a plum tart with whipped cream with my nieces before taking the lite train back to the airport and heading home.
