Local SEO Guide
More visibility = More Impact on your businessIt is no denial that the competition in the local SERPs is getting more difficult and "your website only doesn't matter" anymore. With that being said, we have seen the influx of many small business owners turning into local search optimization to get better visibility boost. This year, local businesses need to step up their game to get online visibility. Local SEO, to be exact, is dramatically changing and it is affecting local businesses in many ways.
Digital Marketing Strategies for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses
Today, Google alone handles more than 100 billion searches per month around the world. Of those searches:
billion desktop queries per month in the US alone have local intent
of mobile queries have local intent
of all searches are mobile relates
Data doesn't lie
From the data above, we can conclude that there are approximately seven billion unique local searches per month on Google in the United States alone.
And this stat was taken in year 2017. Can you imagine how many searches nowadays that involved local searches?
Did you know?
Major search engines such as Google, Yahoo! and Bing are displaying local search results through data collected from social media platforms such as Facebook. Yellow Pages that once dominated the local search is no longer the primary solution in local search. Google have also rolled out many algorithm updates (especially the one on March 9, 2009) which impacted the way results are displayed on the result pages. That algorithm change was a milestone where Internet users no longer need to include any city or geographic terms in their search to be shown results that are local to their location.
The Anatomy Local Search and Digital Marketing
Yes, we hear you — bloggers, webmasters and business owners are cursing Google development team for this. But hey, no one is perfect and the constant rollouts in Google just makes the search engine much more revelant to you and me.
We wish it was easy to do local SEO as it was in 2004.
Back then, ranking on local SEO is seriously a walk in the park which involves creating a simple website, keyword stuffing and near to zero keyword research.
In order to do local search optimization successfully, you need to figure out how and from where Google is surfacing various pieces of information, what your competitors are doing in the marketing their business locally.
In today's world, local SEO marketing is the new way of marketing your business. Visual marketing for example, had been the driving force for many businesses as customers are more interacted with well taken photos which represents a storyline.
Google started displayed 'mixed' results on searches
As you can see on the side, the Internet user doesn't need to specify the location but yet, Google is able to display results based on location.
Since the Spring of 2012, Google has returned an increasing percentage of these "blended" results for local queries—meaning it's important to optimize not only your website, but all your online listings and pages found on the web.
Summary: Local SEO marketing is more important than ever
The relationship between organic search, local search and social mediaIn order to truly succeed in local search marketing, your business will need to make both organic and social media efforts. The integration of both organic and social media marketing will play important roles in your local SEO marketing. These ranking factors include:
- Domain Authority and Page Authority
- Number of backlinks pointing to your website
- Reviews and online comments left on your business page
- Number of brand mentions
- Number of click through rates (CTR) the website has
Where Should You Prioritize Your Online Marketing Resources?
Both Google and Bing have indicated that over 20% of all desktop search queries are local in nature and that somewhere around 70% of queries on mobile phones and tablets are local.
From the stats on the left, we can conclude that consumer buying behavior is highly affected through mobile and online marketing.
The more visible they are, the better chance they will be able to convert visitors into paying consumers.
Depending on your business model, local search may be a key component of your overall marketing mix. But it shouldn't necessarily be the first place you start with your online marketing.
Many factors like the age of your website, whether you have someone available in-house to work on your online marketing, and the physical location of your business will all influence whether local search should be your primary focus, or whether you might be better served taking a look at organic search or social media first.
Uncovering The Local Review Ecosystem
One of the biggest misconception in local SEO marketing is customer reviews. Google doesn't value its own reviews more than those found on other platforms because algorithm updates and different search engine filters might mistakenly lose important reviews.
There is one easy fix when it comes to reputation management — never put all your reviews in one basket.
Instead, local business owners should diversify its reviews on various platforms such as TripAdvisor, Facebook, Google and Yelp (to name a few).
There are two very simple ways to determine the most important review sites in your industry, and both involve simple a simple search on Google. On Google search bar, key in the following: "industry keyword" reviews.
Now, since we are at this, we want to stress the importance of having proper local SEO marketing which includes reputation management.
Take a look Olio Italian Restaurant which has 3.2 average rating (based on 14 reviews), Sirocco Restaurant with 4.4 average rating (based on 26 reviews) and Work & Pan with 3.7 average rating (based on 170 reviews). Which will you choose if you are a consumer?
Search Maven's Take on Local SEO
Local SEO is no longer a luxury. It is an important reputation management to help you increase visibility locally and increase your business/sales.
The importance of review syndication most local businesses overlook
Here's a great resource we found on the Internet.
Do You Really Need Professional Reputation Management?
What do you do when you get a negative review on Google?
Panic, panic and more panic.
No, it's not the end of the world and it is very normal to get negative reviews from time to time.
In this era of constant social-local-mobile interaction, every local business is bound to receive its share of negative reviews.
Like it or not, reviews will always remain one of the biggest factors for us when making a decision. From buying a new smartphone to choosing a holiday destination, reviews are going to make it or break it for many local businesses.
During the recent short holiday planning, Reginald (founder and CEO of Search Maven) made his decision to stay at the top spot Resorts World Genting as there are more reviews (900 reviews with average rating of 7) instead of the second spot Grand Ion Delemen Hotel that has an average of 7.1 score with 343 reviews.
As much as we users care for the reviews, the ever growing of negative reviews are also something that concerns many local business owners.
Here's the good news
Negative reviews are always the bread and butter for any reviews. Regardless legit or not, businesses are bound to get negative news from time to time. So, don't fret!
While having negative reviews cannot be avoided, these had also become a reality for more and more business owners, and their mere existence does not typically require seeking professional help from a reputation management specialist.
There are cases, however, in which a pattern of accusations of terrible service, or even bad business practices or illegal activities can begin to fill up the search engine results with very negative data about a given business.
Obviously, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure: Rooting out and correcting internal problems is the best method of protecting your business from earning a negative online reputation.
Put very simply, the practice of reputation management involves replacing undesirable content with new content that paints a given business in a better light. This is typically a costly process that may be beyond the budget of many small businesses. Even big businesses often get reputation management wrong.
At the small business level, your best bet is to be proactively engaged online so that you are not only aware of what customers and others are saying about you, but that you are also joining in the conversation wherever appropriate. Responding to both positive and negative reviews with skill, transparency and accountability is one of the best ways to create a favorable impression of the good will and professionalism of your business.
And, don't be afraid to try new things that will generate new, positive press about your business on an ongoing basis. Older, not-so-great reviews and comments about your business will gradually fall further away down the results if you are making a consistent effort to publish and inspire new positive, popular content on a regular basis.
While there are cases in which hiring a reputation management firm may be the best option, this is unlikely to be the appropriate response to the predictable handful of negative reviews nearly every local business can expect to get as a fact of doing business in today's world. Rather, you can read up on making a positive response to a negative review.

Brett says:
Now that you've rebuilt the engine from the ground up, have you been using XNA still?
Also what language are you writing it in, if no longer in XNA?
I'm really interested in the development process of a small team.
The work I have seen by TGS and Monolith so far is very inspiring.
Zachary Lewis says:
Monolith is a strange project. It took form as an XNA 3.1 game with shitty coding (we were learning the framework), then we rewrote it. Then, I wrote, like five versions of the rotation engine with FlashPunk (the most recent of which is The Ascent). Now, it's basically a goto project I use to learn a new language or technology. We've got lots of ideas, but no time to execute recently, unfortunately.
Brett says:
Has this goto project/engine ever been considered for learning/educational purposes?
I would love to use it as a learning platform. I'm sure there are others out there, but just what Monolith consists of is similar to what I am interested in.

A post by Christopher Gauker.
A softball player can visualize the trajectory of a fly ball and her own spatial relation to the ball and by means of that visualization arrive at the spot where it will approach the ground just in time to catch it.
An experienced builder of bird houses can knock out a pretty good bird house without having to measure all the pieces, just by visualizing the pieces he needs and cutting them to size accordingly.
I can take apart a leaky faucet and replace the washer and then put it back together again. In doing this, I form a sequence of mental images representing the pieces and the order in which they came apart. After replacing the washer I play this mental movie in reverse, until the faucet has been reassembled.
Our ability to solve problems on the basis of visualizations in this way depends on the visual knowledge we have of how things move around and interact in space. Our possession of this knowledge is most evident in the distinctions we draw between visualizations of realistic sequences of events and visualizations of fantastic sequences of events.
If I come to a puddle in the road, then, if it is not too broad, I can imagine jumping over it. I treat my imagistic representation of the leap as realistic—as a representation of what could really happen. If the puddle is too broad, I can still imagine leaping over it, but this time I recognize that what I am imagining is not realistic but fantastic.
I can imagine pouring six glasses of lemonade out of a pitcher full of lemonade. This course of imagination I treat as realistic. Having imagined it, I might actually try to do it. I can also imagine filling twenty glasses from the same pitcher of lemonade, but this I regard as fantastic.
I can imagine a woman picking up a five-year old boy and letting him ride on her shoulders as she walks down the street. This I regard as realistic. I can also imagine a five-year old boy letting a grown woman ride on his shoulders as he walks down the street, but this I regard as fantastic.
What the examples show is that we have an ability to visualize how things move around and interact in space, and this ability constitutes a kind of knowledge of the way things go. Although I call this ability knowledge, I do not mean that the distinctions we draw are in every way true to reality. Anyone in the 19th century who happened to imagine a jumbo jet might treat that course of imagination as fantastic.
It is tempting to try to reduce this imagistic cognition to a knowledge of propositions. The realistic courses of imagination, it might be said, are exactly those that conform to our beliefs, the fantastic those that violate our beliefs. Ultimately, though, this reduction should strike us as implausible. We just do not have enough beliefs to draw all of the subtle distinctions that our visual knowledge encompasses. There are principles of naive physics that we can easily state in words. Stones do not float. People cannot walk up the sides of buildings. But in other cases, there does not seem to be any easily stated general principle that the fantastic courses of imagination violate.
Of course, the principles of imagistic cognition, whatever they may be, will be describable in words somehow, but that does not mean that these principles are the contents of people's beliefs. More generally, I do not think that imagistic cognition can be adequately understood on the model of discursive reasoning by means of propositionally contentful thoughts.
As far as I know, no one, whether in psychology or philosophy, has ever tried to characterize the visual knowledge illustrated in these examples. Of course, we have had the Gestalt psychology movement and its contemporary successors (Wagemans et al. 2012), but these do not address problem-solving or the real/fantastic distinction. We have had the mental imagery debate (Kosslyn 1995, Pylyshyn 2002), but there the question was whether there is any convincing experimental evidence that mental imagery really exists. We have had the hypothesis of the intelligent eye (Gregory 1979), but that concerns the nature of visual attention and search. We have also had studies of naive physics, especially in infants (Spelke 1990). This last line of research is certainly relevant to the question of imagistic cognition, but the result has generally been an attempt to describe the propositional contents of infants' thoughts ("Unsupported objects fall"), whereas, if I am right, our visual knowledge does not reduce to such propositional contents.
Possibly one could attempt to characterize our imagistic knowledge in purely neurophysiological terms. But that approach is probably not a task for philosophers, at least not for this one. What philosophers might seek, however, is a characterization in terms of the representational contents of imagistic representations. There is currently in the field of philosophy a lot of interest and research on the topic of perceptual representation (Gauker 2012). From this starting point, philosophers might turn their attention to the nature of imagistic cognition. The work on perception that is most promising in this respect is that which does not assume that perceptions have propositional content.
My own approach to visual mental representation posits basically two fundamental aspects. First, there is the representation of spatial (or spatial-temporal) configuration. Second, there is the representation of a thing's location in an objective quality space. A quality space is a hyperspace including many dimensions, one for each of the dimensions of variability that we can perceive. These may include many more than we are accustomed to thinking of, for instance, jerkiness of motion. Locations in objective quality space are represented in the mind by means of what I call marks in perceptual similarity space. My approach to defining both relations is broadly a kind of teleosemantics. (However, I do not believe that teleosemantical methods will allow us to define conceptual representation.)
My hope is that the distinction between realistic and fantastic courses of imagination, and more generally the principles of imagistic cognition, can be defined with the help of this conception of imagistic representation. An unrealistic mental image of a spatial configuration (such as a mental image of the Penrose triangle) is one that cannot be mapped onto an object in space in accordance with the pertinent mapping relation. A realistic course of imagination representing a sequence of events might be explicated as one that pieces together representations of events that are based on actual experiences. The way in which the pieces are based on actual experiences is that the representations result from taking perceptions of actual events and uniformly translating them across the dimensions of perceptual similarity space. For instance, having observed a dance danced slowly, we might imagine speeding it up.
I will close with an advertisement, although there is nothing to buy. Bence Nanay (University of Antwerp) and I have been awarded funding for a four-year project on "The Puzzle of Imagistic Cognition", which begins on October 1, 2018. The funding comes from the Austrian FWF and the Flemish FWO. We are, or will be, funding one four-year doctoral fellowship, three two-year postdocs, and two workshops. The doctoral fellowship has already been awarded to Stephen Müller, and the first of the post-docs has been awarded to Thomas Raleigh. We will welcome applications this Fall for the second of the post-docs (watch for the announcement on Philos-L).

Success Stories
Where focus on a fun and positive culture has made an impact.
1. Helping HOAs Keep the Golf Community Dream Alive
The stakes are enormous for homeowners when the golf course at the heart of their community threatens to close. Property values and lifestyle dreams hang in the balance. The National Golf Foundation says the number of golf courses in the U.S. continues a gradual decline from its peak, as the marketplace rebalances following a building boom that lasted more than two decades. These golf courses were built to increase the property values of adjacent lots and homes. In the event the course closes, these lots see their value drop precipitously. But a golf course closure is anything but inevitable when residents are determined to stop it -- when they find the right partner. That's what happened at Cape Royal, located near Cape Coral in Lee County, Florida.
The Fall and Rise of Cape Royal Golf Club
The Royal Tee Golf Club, the 27-hole public course built in the mid-1980s and the centerpiece of the Cape Royal residential community, had been slipping for several years. The homeowners could see it happening. The developer had finished building-out the community and appeared to lose interest in maintaining and operating the course. The course abruptly closed in August 2016, when the owner told the independently-controlled Cape Royal HOA he would stop maintaining it, cease paying dues, and that the property would be sold. Facing a predicted decline in their home values of between 20 and 40 percent (which would mean an overall decline of $30-$60 million in this development), the HOA activated a strategic plan that had been in the works for about a year to prevent the golf course from being developed by another owner. Within six months the HOA was able to:
- Generate support from the owners of 483 Cape Royal homesites to purchase the golf course.
- 91 percent voted to approve the $1.4 million purchase, financed with a loan being paid using a $295 annual Golf Course Acquisition Assessment on each homesite, roughly $24 per month.
- The purchase closed in January 2017.
- The golf property was eventually renamed Cape Royal Golf Club.
- Secure a 10-year lease with Green Golf Partners (GGP) to lease and operate the course, and to do so without any HOA funds to subsidize the golf operation.
"GGP was very enthusiastic about the potential of Cape Royal Golf Club, very willing to work with us, and had the financial means to recover the course while sustaining minimum revenue," said Don Weigand, HOA President. "They are a great group of people, incredibly honest, take a lot of care where the money is spent, and focus it in the right areas."
GGP: "On Their Side" with Deep Experience, Perseverance
Green Golf Partners is well aware of the common problems facing HOA's and municipally operated golf courses throughout the country. The GGP team paid several visits to assess exactly what needed to be done to bring the course, which CEO Matt McIntee describes as "very fun and very playable", back into condition. GGP renovated the greens, fairways, bunkers and tee boxes. They also performed infrastructure improvements to the building and irrigation system. Complexities are very common in restoration projects, but were handled thanks to GGP's wealth of experience and deep understanding of golf course engineering and food and beverage operations.
McIntee also said GGP approaches projects in a manner that will help homeowners preserve their dream and, more specifically, their property values. He was impressed that the HOA was trying to maintain the grounds even before they had purchased the course. That approach, coupled with perseverance to see a difficult project through to conclusion, were key.
"Our approach is really simple. We are going to do whatever we can to help them reach their objectives. We are really on their side," McIntee said. "For every club that closes, finally one fought back. They took matters into their own hands by partnering with a reliable and honorable operator."
Blowing Away Expectations
The results that followed the January 2018 grand reopening have far exceeded expectations. The course is seeing 250-300 rounds of play each day; outstanding by any measure and far above previous numbers. The Caloosa Club restaurant and bar already have plans to expand thanks to higher than expected food and beverage sales. Cape Royal has become the gathering place for community activities such as pickle ball, bocce ball, card and activity clubs as well as host of many special resident events.
"The response to the golf part of the community has been overwhelming," Weigand said. "What's happening in the revitalized Caloosa Club is 100 percent more than anticipated. We're busting at the seams. Golfers and non-golfers are enjoying the convenience of the Caloosa Club"
This model can be replicated in many other situations where communities face the possibility of a golf course closing. McIntee says that while each situation is different, GGP can offer entities that are affected viable scenarios showing what the golf course is worth, the costs to make necessary renovations, analysis of market conditions and risk assessment that allows informed decisions.
"At the end of the day, community based golf courses provide open space, a tranquil and safe setting with the added bonus of maintaining and in some instances increasing property values", McIntee said. " GGP brings all of the disciplines necessary to operate, maintain and maximize the golf course experience. Oh, and by the way, we also bring some fun with us".
"GGP was very enthusiastic about the potential of Cape Royal Golf Club, very willing to work with us, and had the financial means to recover the course while sustaining minimum revenue," said Don Weigand, HOA President. "They are a great group of people, incredibly honest, take a lot of care where the money is spent, and focus it in the right areas."
- Don Weigand, HOW President
2. Saddlebrook Official Grand Reopening Ribbon Cutting Set for May 24
Elected Officials, civic leaders, Green Golf Partners executives and staff, Friends of Saddlebrook, LLC and neighbors will celebrate the official grand reopening of Saddlebrook Golf Club on Thursday, May 24 at the course, clubhouse and new restaurant Rolyno's Original Pizza. Festivities will include a ribbon cutting, inaugural tee-off, and remarks by honored guests. During the day, the golf course will be open for play along with activities and for families and children.
Saddlebrook was in considerable disrepair after being dormant since its foreclosure in late 2015. Homeowners in Saddlebrook and several surrounding neighborhoods came together to form Friends of Saddlebrook LLC, to help save the public course and raised $250,000 last year to bring the course back to playing condition. Green Golf Partners, which bought the course in late July, has used the funds to restore the entire course and clubhouse and now the course is ready to reopen for public play.
Golf course season passes are on sale for adults starting at $749. Junior Golfers season passes are on sale at $299 for 13 to 17 year old.
3. Belleview Biltmore - Focus on the Fundamentals... and Fun!
Managing golf properties in a way that creates success for all stakeholders requires a unique combination of skills, experience and investment. In cases where government agencies own golf courses, they often find themselves in need of expertise to maximize the benefits of these valuable public assets. That's where Green Golf Partners (GGP) steps in to turn things around.
A great example involves the City of Belleair, Florida after its purchase of the iconic but underperforming Belleview Biltmore Golf Club to prevent future development and loss of back taxes from the previous owner. The city suddenly found itself the owner of a business that needed help running it.
"Most municipalities cover a broad spectrum of services. We are specific to operating and running golf courses," said Zach Vervaecke, Regional Vice President and PGA Pro at Green Golf Partners. "We can come in and run their facility soup to nuts. Depending on revenue, profitability and proximity we can help those facilities turn around."
Back to the Basics
After completing the $3.5 million purchase of the semi-private club, Belleair city leaders immediately began looking for a golf management company. GGP CEO and Partner Matt McIntee knew the golf course well from his industry experience in the area and developed a solid working relationship with city leaders. GGP was awarded a one-year contract to manage the club before entering into a lease arrangement. That structure allowed them to gain an accurate assessment of what was needed, both short-term and long-term.
"The golf course had been ignored. The bunkers, tees, and driving range were in bad shape. The clubhouse was worn and dirty. For us, it was easy to see what needed to be done," McIntee said. "The first thing we did was clean the place up to make sure it looked good. The second thing we did was put in solid management and good financial practices. Then we installed championship service. Those things really helped."
GGP created a long-term capital campaign when it leased the property that included remodeling locker rooms, bunker renovations and rebuilding tee boxes which played a big roll for improving the quality and playability of the golf course.
Create a Great Experience
McIntee said the GGP approach is to focus on fundamentals that create a great experience: Cleanliness, Service, Product and Fun. Nearly everything the GGP team tried --- from playing music nearly everywhere in public areas, to launching Sunday brunch, to hosting food/music festivals -- all seemed to work. A redesigned restaurant and new beach-themed golf shop all proved very popular.
"We really wanted to make golf fun again," McIntee said. "The staff was coached very hard on Championship service and to make it the most fun club possible; with a mentality to make it the best place in Florida to play golf and party. The club took on that identity."
GGP launched a locally-focused marketing program. An important part of that was getting Bellevue Biltmore Golf Club reconnected with the local community, particularly in re-establishing relationships with civic organizations and the business community that had withered in previous years. The outreach was successful in attracting events to the club, including an important monthly breakfast of all mayors from Pinellas County.
"It created a sense of civic pride. Once word started getting out, we began getting increased play on the course from the surrounding area," McIntee said.
"There was a lot of community involvement. The membership base there promoted the social events and the facility as well. It was great having it semi-private as opposed to just public or just private," Vervaecke said. "That was a huge part of the success of Bellevue Biltmore. Plus, the proximity to the beach, Largo, Clearwater, Seminal, St. Petersburg and many other attractions helped. It's just a good, centrally located property."
The reinvigorated club delivered financial results. Rounds played increased to the point where there were not enough tee times available to facilitate demand during the winter season. Gross revenue increased 16 percent over the course of GGP's four-year arrangement with Belleview Biltmore Golf Club. The food and beverage performance stood out as well.
"We went from $300,000 in gross revenue from food and beverage to $500,000 in about two years," Vervaecke said. "The restaurant had its own identity. A lot of that was due to having a new chef, new event person, and getting more specific about who to target for events. The product was a lot better."
Lessons for Public Courses
In 2017, the City of Belleair voted to sell the golf property to a local family in a transaction that was reportedly structured to prevent any future development of the land. The city's arrangement with GGP during the time it owned the property created an improved asset that was attractive for a new owner.
"They owned the asset. We protected and improved the asset while providing the city with revenue. And they didn't have to be involved, at all, for the most part. I think it was a good relationship for them as well as us," Vervaecke said. "We were pointed in the right direction before the sale of the golf course was finalized. We were hitting or exceeding revenue and budget numbers."
"It was the best project we ever had," McIntee said.
The approach GGP used with Belleview Biltmore Golf Club is applicable in a great many situations, including where golf properties are operated by government entities. It often boils down to focusing on fundamentals. But executing on the fundamentals requires experience, skill and creativity.
"We can make those properties better without the city having to worry about it," Vervaecke said. "In many circumstances it's a 'win – win' situation."

First round of US tariffs on Chinese goods to hit US$50b on Aug 23
WASHINGTON: The first round of President Donald Trump's 25 per cent punitive tariffs on China will hit US$50 billion in goods starting on Aug 23, the government announced on Tuesday (Aug 7).
Washington already imposed 25 per cent tariffs on US$34 billion in Chinese products on Jul 6. But it held off on a final US$16 billion as a result of concerns raised by US companies.
Although the move was expected, it cements the view that there appears to be no effort underway to defuse the dispute between the world's two largest economies that have continued to exchange threats.
China has already retaliated with duties of its own, and has pledged to match the United States dollar-for-dollar with new tariffs, including on the next US$16 billion.
Americans import far more from China than the other way around, however, meaning Beijing may at some point need to look for other means of retaliation.
Washington and Beijing are locked in battle over American accusations that China's export economy benefits from unfair policies and subsidies, and especially from the theft of American technological know-how.
Trump, who has boasted that trade wars are "easy to win," has threatened to ramp up the pressure and slap tariffs on virtually all of China's exports to the United States if Beijing does not back down and take steps to reduce the US$335 billion US trade deficit with that country.
The dispute has continued to escalate, as Trump last week threatened to jack up the tariff rate on the next US$200 billion in Chinese imports his administration plans to target to 25 per cent, from the planned 10 per cent.
Beijing has called on US officials to be "cool headed," but fired back warning it would impose duties on an additional US$60 billion in US goods, a threat the White House dismissed as "weak."
The office of US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said its "exhaustive" investigation showed "China's acts, policies and practices related to technology transfer, intellectual property and innovation are unreasonable and discriminatory and burden US commerce."
USTR said there were 279 new goods to be targeted in the latest round of tariffs. Those include imports like motorcycles, tractors, railroad parts, electronic circuits, motors and farm equipment.
US industries and farmers have been caught in the crossfire, and the Trump administration announced US$12 billion in aid to help farmers hurt by Chinese duties on crops such as soybeans.
Trump's aggressive trade actions have drawn sharp criticism from business and from members of his own Republican party, as well as numerous warnings that an continuing to ramp up the trade war will harm the US and global economies.
In May, Chinese importers trying to beat Beijing's looming counter-tariffs led to a surge in US exports of crude oil and soybeans, temporarily driving down the trade deficit and helping boost GDP growth in the April-June period to 4.1 per cent.
The growth rate was the strongest in nearly four years, and Trump said it was further proof his economic policies were working.

From October 18-20, Montréal hosted the 10th annual Council for Canadian Urbanism conference. For this year's theme, "Fixing the City, Challenges and Learnings," Copenhagenize's own Michael Seth Wexler, head of our Montreal office, spoke on a panel about public, active, and shared transportation. With increased mobility via public and non-motorized transportation connections on the agenda of the new Montréal administration, discussions of the benefits of the bicycle in Montréal are more relevant than ever, with real potential to spur change in the city and set an example across the country.
With so many visitors in town for the conference, our Montréal office took the opportunity to give a bicycle tour to urban planners and city officials from London, Ontario. While Montréal is no Copenhagen, it is — for now — still the leading bicycle city in North America. In the Plateau borough, the modal share of the bicycle is over 10%, and the borough of Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie has followed in Copenhagen's footsteps, implementing bicycle footrests at intersections. Taking the London officials on a tour through a number of Montréal's neighbourhoods, we discussed existing and potential bicycle infrastructure — the good, the bad and the strange.
Although Copenhagenize Design Co. is most known for its tours and inspiration in Copenhagen, we seek out bicycle innovation from all over the world, and understand that there is just as much to learn from developing bicycle cities. From contraflow painted lanes, to protected bidirectional tracks, to off-street greenways, Montréal can teach us a lot about what works — and where there is room for improvement.

BALDWYN — Hancock Fabrics Inc. has released its financial results for its second quarter ended July 30, 2011 and its first half of fiscal 2011.
Financial results for the second quarter include:
• Net sales were $57.8 million, compared to $60.5 million for second quarter of last year, and comparable store sales decreased 4.1 percent, compared to a 0.7 percent increase in the previous year.
• Operating loss was $2.7 million, compared to operating income of $0.6 million in the second quarter last year.
• Net loss was $3.9 million, or $0.20 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.04 per basic share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2010.
First half financial results include:
• Net sales were $119.8 million, compared to $123.6 million in the first half of last year, and comparable store sales declined 2.7 percent following a 0.7 percent decrease in the previous year.
• Operating loss was $3.7 million, compared to $0.6 million of operating income in the previous year.
• Net loss was $6.1 million, or $0.31 per basic share, compared to a net loss of $2.1 million, or $0.10 per basic share in the first half of fiscal 2010.
Steve Morgan, interim president and CEO said, "The second quarter numbers were negatively influenced by the lack of buying strategies implemented in the summer of last year. Fabric inventory levels today are down very significantly year over year despite adding a considerable craft assortment in approximately 25 percent of our stores. These reduced fabric levels have delayed the income improvements we are anticipating will be provided by the various operating initiatives we are currently executing. We have remedied a portion of the inventory imbalance with receipts that are just now beginning to flow into our stores. Our recently installed merchandise team is making progress in correcting the missed buys of last year."
During the quarter, the company opened one new location and relocated three stores, ending the quarter with 265 stores.

The 907 Playbook: Playoffs Round-Up
Wow what a wild week around the Town in high school basketball, let's go back to last friday in the 2A/3A West Central District Playoffs. Foss, Wilson and Lincoln showing what Tacoma basketball is all about by getting strong wins against White River, Kelso and C. Kitsap respectively and at the same time advancing to the quarter finals which were this past Wednesday, 2/15. I was there for Foss vs Kingston and N. Kitsap vs Lindbergh who were on the other side of the bracket.
Meanwhile, down in Oly, Lincoln and Wilson both had matchups vs Timberline and Spanaway Lake. Timberline took it down to the wire and if it wasnt for 3 missed free throws in a row in the closing seconds, they could've forced OT against the unbeaten Abes. But the Abes move the finals 70-67, where they awaited the winner of Wilson-Span. Lake. And man what a thriller that was. Spanaway Lake, who is back in the playoffs for the first time in 20 odd years, put up the fight of their life and forced OT against the high powered Rams. In the end the Sentinels came up a little short and fell in OT 71-68. Here we go again...Lincoln vs Wilson in the WCD 3A Championship game this Saturday, 2pm, at Puyallup High School. The big dawgs in the town go to duke it out and stake claim for the title and the ever important bragging rights. If you're not busy, you need to get it here!
Let's visit the 2A bracket now. Semifinal action at Foss High School and man the fans were treated to some good action. The first game on the card was N. Kitsap vs Lindbergh. Kitsap took the early and strong advantage and held this lead until the late 3rd and the 4th were the Eagles came back strong. Closing within 10, 5 and all the way to 2 pt deficit when a shoddy pass cost them a foul, and turnover, and ultimately the game 51-49. N. Kitsap then awaited either Foss or Kingston. As soon as this one started you could tell Foss was here to play and playing very well. Berto and Micah Pollard got started early and often, leading the team to a huge 30 pt 1st quarter. Kingston's defense could not contain the Falcons or Micah Pollard as the little guy got another huge slam and led the team with 20 points, and the 92-70 win. This was definitely a statement game for the Falcons and I don't see anyone who can knock them off if Foss is on their top game. They'll now meet N. Kitsap this Saturday, at Foss HS, 5:30 pm, expect another matchup full of excitement.

A disqualified learner driver at the wheel of a minibus that collided with a van in Sydney's west has been charged over the fatal crash that killed a two-year-old.
Investigators had been waiting to speak with the 20-year-old after she was taken to Westmead Hospital following the smash at Kemps Creek shortly after 1.30pm yesterday.
The minibus was carrying nine members of the same family from Griffith when it collided head-on with a Mercedes Benz commercial van on Mamre Road.
The two-year-old died in hospital following the crash, while seven others, including the driver, were treated for various injuries.
The family were heading to the airport to fly to Samoa for a Christmas holiday.
It is believed the Hiace was being driven south and the commercial van driving north when they met head-on in the northbound lanes.
The toddler's 23-year-old mother and 59-year-old grandfather are at Liverpool Hospital. Her grandfather was critically injured and remains in a critical but stable condtion, a Liverpool Hospital spokeswoman said.
The 23-year-old woman who was sitting in the middle row suffered two broken legs in the smash while four children were taken to hospital for treatment.
The driver of the commercial van, a 50-year-old man from Merrylands, escaped serious injury and has undergone mandatory testing.
Police said the 20-year-old family member who was at the wheel was a disqualified learner driver.
Following her release from hospital, the driver was charged with 11 offences including dangerous driving occasioning death, driving whilst disqualified and driving with a child not restrained as prescribed.
She was granted conditional bail and is expected to face court later today.

I felt overwhelming joy, peace and love while watching these cuties performing ballet. There is definitely something magical in this form of dance.
I was not only amazed by their performance on stage but also by what I observed behind the curtain.
I took a moment and decided to capture precious little moments on the stage as well as in between every dance.
Although, they were not performing, they still carried their bodies in a beautiful way.
What amazes me the most is that every gesture is enlighten with strength, grace and delicacy. What ultimately is one of the most beautiful things to see.

How to choose a great beginner's guitar for your child?
Learning to play a musical instrument helps in the all-round development of a child. It develops his motor skills and naturally leads to success in all areas of life. Choosing the right instrument for your child paves the path for his success. Since choosing the right instrument can have benefits that last a lifetime therefore we have jotted down a few tips that will help you choose an awesome beginner's guitar for your little one.
Choose a type
Pic credits: youtube.com
Guitars come in two types – acoustic and electric. Choosing between them is the first step that you need to undertake. Al though each has its merits as a starter instrument, there is no good or bad. Your decision should purely be based on your child's interest. Try and understand their motivation and what encourages them to pursue their interest. You must give priority to your child's interest. Buying an acoustic for your would-be little electric guitarist wouldn't be the right move. Therefore, analyze your child's interest area and then take a decision.
Choose the right size
Pic credits: wikihow.com
Selecting the right size guitar is very important. A large guitar will make it difficult for your child to make the proper reach with both the hands. If his arm is raised as high as the shoulder to reach the guitar, it will become uncomfortable and painful for him. This will make it difficult for him to play the instrument as his fingers shall not move properly on the fingerboard. To ensure that your child is comfortable playing the guitar, buy him the right size. Consider the following data for buying the guitar – 30" for ages 4-6, 34" for ages 6-9, 36" for ages 9-12 and standard size for ages 12 and up.
Choose one that has been inspected and adjusted for easy playability
Pic credits: guitarworld.com
This is the most ignored yet important factor to keep in mind before buying a guitar. An unadjusted guitar is extremely difficult to play. If your child will face difficulty in pushing the strings to get a clear note, he will never experience the pleasure associated with playing an instrument. To ensure that your child learns to play the instrument with comfort and ease, make sure that the guitar is tested for easy playability.
After choosing the right guitar for your child the next step should be to enrol him to the right classes. If your child has a busy schedule, you can arrange guitar lessons at home for him, with High's Individual/Groups program. We provide guitar classes at your doorstep under the guidance of a qualified guitar tutor. Click here to know more.

Pactimo might not be a mainstream brand in the UK, but boy does it make some effective kit. The Torrent Stretch Waterproof jacket is lightweight, waterproof and breathable, with only – for me – a couple of flaws.
- Pros: Waterproof, very breathable, comfortable stretch fit
- Cons: Short sleeves, no pockets
Let's cover those flaws first, because they'll likely be the determining factor as to whether you should plump for the Torrent over rivals that make use of arguably the weatherproof fabric of choice: Gore-Tex.
First, the sleeves are short – surprisingly so, as you can see in the photos. I usually wear large or medium and had a medium on test, which was comfortable because of the excellent 37.5 stretch fabric, but even with my longish arms I was surprised how high up the cuffs sat, at around 3cm of where I'd normally like them to be. A large would have remedied this to some extent, but certainly not completely.
That said, this is designed to be a lightweight jacket – something you can fit on over the top of your standard kit without affecting your silhouette too much, as well as adding minimum weight (142g in a medium), so it's understandable that the American brand might have chosen to minimise the garment where possible. This is further demonstrated by the lack of pockets.
If you don't mind these two characteristics and prefer to use your jacket as a whip-on, whip-off type layer, the Torrent jacket could be right up your street.
The 37.5 fabric is brilliant, frankly, and the amount of stretch in it means you can get a really comfortable fit without resorting to flexible sections as Mat found with Castelli's Idro Pro jacket (which uses Gore Shakedry tech). We're told that 37.5 uses 'Cocona' particles that actively attract excess moisture and heat to help you keep your body temperature as close to optimum as possible.
> Buyer's Guide: 21 of the best waterproof cycling jackets
The dimpled pattern you see on the outer fabric becomes slightly more pronounced when the garment is working hard to do its thing, which sounds a bit like witchcraft... I mean, it's just a fabric. An additional DWR treatment means that it delivers a 20,000mm watercolumn waterproofness rating alongside a 37,000mm breathability rating.
Those figures are from the top table of any technical fabric that I'm aware of in the consumer market today, and I can hardly disagree with them following several wet-dry-wet rides in the form of longer spins and commutes over the past few weeks as autumn has well and truly set in.
I tested a Gore Shakedry jacket earlier this year, and that's a stunning all-round performer, but the Torrent can definitely stand comparison in terms of those key performance points that matter (especially as it's £100 cheaper). Interestingly, the 37.5 fabric feels almost rubbery to the touch on the inside, but it never feels uncomfortable, as that description might suggest.
> Buyer's Guide: 18 of the best winter cycling jackets
In terms of construction, the tail is nicely dropped for rear coverage, and the collar has some good height to it to keep out the elements without feeling too tight around the neck. I also like the semi-reflective black taping that marks out the stitching, which adds even more visibility in the dark on top of the high-vis yellow on test (you can also have it in black, if you want a stealthier look).
The full length waterproof zip is easy to seat and manoeuvre on the move, and Pactimo has fitted a branded rubber end to it too. It's such a small detail, but does genuinely make working the zip just that bit easier than it might otherwise be – especially when you've got full fingered gloves on.
When washing you do need to treat it with care – I washed it on a delicate setting with Nikwax Techwash to maintain the DWR treatment, and that did the trick. As with all technical jackets like this, if it's clean after use and you can avoid washing it, that's normally the best way to retain native performance.
For me, it's a shame that the sleeves are as short as they are – this alone means that I wouldn't choose the Torrent Stretch Waterproof jacket. But not everyone has arms as long as mine, and the performance of the 37.5 fabric in breathability, waterproofness and its ability to stretch is very impressive indeed.
While £160 isn't to be sneezed at, it is, as I mentioned above, quite a big saving over the top-end Gore Shakedry jackets – those made by Gore itself and others that use the fabric, such as Castelli and 7Mesh.
As long as the sleeves are long enough for you and you don't mind not having pockets in your lightweight waterproof jacket, it's well worth considering.
Very impressive fabric and a great performer overall, with a couple of provisos...

Tell us what the jacket is for and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Pactimo says: "A true rain jacket, the Torrent is a not only completely waterproof, but lightweight, form-fitting, and extremely breathable. The stretchy aero fit and super packability are added features for this jacket that offers excellent protection against the wettest of conditions thanks to a DWR (durable water repellent), seam-sealed outer and waterproof zipper. Unlike most cycling rain jackets on the market, the Torrent's highly breathable knit fabric, combined with 37.5® Technology known for it's ability to move heat and moisture away from the body, ensures a dry, heat-regulated interior over long distances."
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the jacket?
FABRICS & CONSTRUCTION: The Torrent has been designed with our Aero fit to minimize jacket flapping and movement while riding. This is possible due to the ultra-light, DWR laminated fabric with 4-way mechanical stretch. The knit outer fabric also makes this jacket soft to the touch and quiet, especially when compared to hardshells with similar waterproof capabilities. Additionally, the Torrent features a long drop tail and articulated sleeves for optimal fit in your riding position.
One of the most innovative aspects of the Torrent is the use of active Cocona particles from 37.5® Technology, which attract humidity and then use your own body heat to rapidly transfer that moisture away from the interior through the ultra-breathable membrane. This rapid transfer of moisture ensures a regulated body temperature and dry climate inside the jacket, while keeping the elements out, ensuring a proven 25% increase in athletic performance (results based on an independent University of Colorado study). You can actually see 37.5 in action by the dimpling that occurs on the fabric. This is when the hydrophilic particles are working to move the moisture to the exterior of the garment. When the jacket dries, the material returns to its native state. It's a bit like magic, and if you've ever worn a typical plastic rain jacket, you'll truly appreciate the cool dry interior of the Torrent. Learn more at www.thirtysevenfive.com.
The Torrent has also been finished with a waterproof YKK zipper and 360 degree reflective taping for improved safety in low light conditions.
- 5 Layer laminate: DWR coated knit face, super-breathable laminate, 37.5 Technology print next-to-skin (99g/m2)
- Ultra lightweight/ packable, lighter than some jersey fabrics
- Waterproof Column (Waterproofness): 20,000mm
- Moisture Transfer Rate (Breathability): 37,000mm
- 4-way, Mechanical stretch (0% Spandex)
- Waterproof YKK Zipper
- 360 degree reflective taping
The quality here is very good indeed – especially the taped seams.
The 37.5 fabric is superb and worth a full 10, but the short sleeves just knock it down to a 9 (for shorter armed riders, it's a 10).
The high-vis colour will stain if you don't look after it, but the quality of the fabric and seams suggest little to worry about from a product weighing 142g.
It's not quite Shakedry in its ability to literally 'shake dry', but it's not far off.
The rubbery feeling of the internal surface is the only slight drawback here; it breathes really well, but any moisture missed or deposited is really felt on the skin.
The stretchy nature of the fabric is brilliant – in fact, I prefer this aspect of it over Gore's Shakedry fabric which doesn't stretch much at all – but the sleeves are disappointingly short on me despite a comfortable race fit on the body.
Sizes true, except for those sleeves.
142g is very light for a jacket with this level of performance.
Because the sleeves come up so short on me, the cuffs are a bit annoying. Aside from this, I've no complaints.
£165 is a fair asking price here, especially as you can spend significantly upwards of £200 on Shakedry-equipped products. You just need to make sure the sleeves are long enough for you.
How easy is the jacket to care for? How did it respond to being washed?
You need to treat it with care, but the fabric rewards you for that.
Tell us how the jacket performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Really well, aside from the sleeves that cause the cuffs to sneak up on me.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the jacket
Technical characteristics of the fabric, the fit (sleeves aside).
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the jacket
The sleeves! And the lack of pockets isn't great either, but (sort of) understandable.
How does the price compare to that of similar products in the market including ones recently tested on road.cc?
The Castelli Idro jacket is around £100 more, and the Gore C5 1985 Shakedry jacket I tested earlier this year is too. Against these, you have to say it looks very good value. It's £5 more than Santini's Guard Rain Jacket, though that's slightly bulkier.
Did you enjoy using the jacket? Yes, apart from the sleeves.
Would you consider buying the jacket? No, the sleeves are too short for me.
Would you recommend the jacket to a friend? Yes, but they need shorter arms than me, for sure.
Use this box to explain your overall score
If you don't mind the short sleeves and lack of pockets, the Torrent Stretch Waterproof jacket is a really good option. It performs very well, and though it's not quite top of the tree, it's not the highest priced either.

Lemonade War #5: The Magic Trap/
Book Information
Rating: Excellent
Reading/Interest Level: Intermediate
Author: Jacqueline Davies
Publisher: HMH Books for Young Readers
Year: 2014
Pages: 272
Jessie and Evan Treski are excited about magic, so Evan decides that he's going to put on a magic show. Their mom is getting ready to go on a trip when their dad, a war reporter and very good at doing disappearing acts on his own, shows up unexpectedly. When their babysitter has an accident, their dad agrees to watch the kids while their mom is gone. Their dad tries to be helpful with the show by getting them a rabbit and a magic box, but he leaves before the show for work, leaving Evan and Jessie by themselves. When a hurricane comes, the kids have to work together to make it through the storm and to put on the show themselves.
Although it mentions events that happened earlier in the series, this book could also be read by someone who has not read the other books. The kids in this book and highly resourceful and intelligent in difficult situations, but the idea of the dad leaving the kids alone with a hurricane approaching is difficult to swallow. The relationship between Jessie and Evan is sweet, particularly when Evan patiently works with Jessie to calm her down when she is over-excited or scared about what is going on. This book is the fifth in a series of fun, realistic fiction highlighting the relationship between a brother and sister.

- Serena Williams headed to Meghan Markle's and Prince Harry's royal wedding after-party this weekend wearing a pair of sneakers.
- Williams is representative of a growing movement in women's fashion toward swapping high heels for more comfortable shoes.
- Sales of high heels suffered in 2017, declining by 11%, according to NPD Group's Retail Tracking Service. Meanwhile, women's sneaker sales were up 37% in the same period.
US pro tennis player Serena Williams made a major fashion statement at the royal wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry this weekend.
Williams, who was invited to attend the church service, afternoon reception, and evening party, admitted to slipping into a pair of sneakers for the evening part of the celebration at Frogmore House on her social media pages.
"Little known fact: I often wear sneakers under my evening gown," she captioned an Instagram post that showed the sneakers.
—Serena Williams (@serenawilliams) May 20, 2018
Williams' footwear choice is symbolic of a growing movement in women's fashion toward opting for comfort over anything else. Casualization is sweeping the industry as women choose to dress down and switch out constricted clothing for athleisure wear. For many, this also means trading heels for sneakers.
The casual trend has even made its way into one of the most traditionally formal items of clothing, the wedding dress.
In 2017, sales of high heels declined 11%, according to NPD Group's Retail Tracking Service, CNBC reported. Meanwhile, women's sneaker sales were up 37% in the same period.
There may be other reasons for this trend, however. In December, The New York Times investigated why high heels have fallen out of favor for many women and concluded that it could be linked in part to the #MeToo era and reports of sexual harassment. Women are choosing to dress for themselves rather than being sexually appealing to men.
Moreover, flat shoes enable women to escape from dangerous situations.
"You only need to spend a few minutes on the internet these days to see that, yes, there are quite a lot of times when, unfortunately, it would help to be able to run," Renee Engeln, a professor of psychology at Northwestern University, told The Times.

When you look at online pictures of an illuminated manuscript or other historic documents, do you see a data set? Will Noel, noted medieval manuscript specialist and open data advocate, does - and hopes you will too. On Tuesday, March 27, the Friends of the Lehigh University Libraries sponsored a talk on historical documents in a technological world given by Noel, the director of the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts at the University of Pennsylvania.
Noel has made it his personal mission to bring digital technologies and data analysis to manuscript studies. Technology allows for a wider audience to experience the materials, as he demonstrated with the UPenn Scribes of the Cairo Geniza project that crowdsourced tagging to analyze a massive collection of digitized manuscripts. Thousands of volunteers viewed and sorted the images, which helped reveal new insights to scholars - for example, that most of the manuscripts illustrated with flowers tended to be marriage contracts.
But Noel argues that the images' underlying data should be as thoroughly detailed and openly available as the images themselves. Currently, digital images aren't treated like unique reproductions of historic materials, despite differences in image quality, source, and image manipulations that would distinguish two digital images of the same original. Two pictures of one document taken ten years apart would be quite different - but the digital images themselves wouldn't tell us how.
"This is a humanities problem, not a geek problem," Noel said. Unlike established scholarly practice, which explores in detail the differences between an original manuscript and its copies, digital facsimiles often lack information about when and how they were created. As a result, scholars who wish to study the images may not have sufficient descriptive information, or metadata, about the images themselves to make an accurate assessment.
For example, faculty and students at Trinity University in Texas created a digital edition of The Lament of St Anselm using UPenn's digital images, without ever touching the original manuscript. But, Noel warned, the images have no permanent identifier in the event that something happens to the OPenn repository where the images are housed. Nor does the new edition provide information about the conditions under which the manuscript was digitized.
The raw data, Noel argued, is analogous to provenance records that scholars use to trace the ownership and management of art and historic materials. Keeping and sharing data was a priority during Noel's own work with the Archimedes Palimpsest. He took advantage of the flexibility of digital files, manipulating and processing multi-spectral images to reveal text that had been scraped off when the parchment was reused. By sharing the raw data and open source code for his project, as well as the images he manipulated, Noel has made a scholarly contribution that also allows others to replicate his work or derive new insights from looking at the data themselves.
So how can digital humanities and special collections scholars respond? By documenting and cataloging the images as though they are original objects themselves, and with an eye to the future, working for an equivalent of a DOI for digital images. This, Noel explains, would remain faithful to methodological practice while allowing for unanticipated advances by future scholars.

Court Ducks Taiwanese Bid for U.S. Nationality
(CN) – U.S. courts have no say over whether Taiwanese residents deserve to be U.S. nationals, the D.C. Circuit ruled. Judge Brown said determining their nationality would force judges "to trespass into a controversial area of U.S. foreign policy in order to resolve a question the executive branch intentionally left unanswered for over 60 years: who exercises sovereignty over Taiwan."
Brown explained: "America and China's tumultuous relationship over the past 60 years has trapped the inhabitants of Taiwan in political purgatory. During this time the people (of) Taiwan have lived without any uniformly recognized government. In practical terms, this means they have uncertain status in the world community, which infects the population's day-to-day lives. This pervasive ambiguity has driven Appellants to try to concretely define their national identity and personal rights."
In 2006, a group of Taiwanese residents and members of the Taiwan Nation Party sought U.S. passports. That request evolved into a demand to be considered U.S. nationals, with all related rights and privileges, including passports.
The federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., agreed with the district court that the political question doctrine bars U.S. courts from considering their claims.

It happened today. One of those Sundays where you are going about your business, your day, your Sunday routine- sitting in the church pew listening and nodding- not expecting anything for me. Then it started to hit me. The tears welled up hot in my eyes and somehow I knew what was coming next, Was. For. Me. Not only me- but like listen up, girl, I am about to speak to you right from my word. I was laser-focused in as my pastor read the words of Psalm 73, and they washed over me and made sense of my feelings, and my mess.
As humans, we don't have the capacity or the mental ability to order and make sense of all of our feelings and latest struggles. And as moms, sometimes our brains just feel like mush at the end of the day. But lately I've had a very specific struggle with Instagram

Lifestyle Newborn Session with Baby Max
Lisa and Jeff are some of the sweetest people I've met to date! Introduced through a mutual friend, I shot their maternity photos and couldn't wait for Baby Max to join us all! 7 days after birth, I spent an afternoon at Lisa and Jeff's La Jolla apartment for Max's Lifestyle Newborn Session. I loved hearing them share all about navigation as new parents, meeting their rescue pup, Goblin, and seeing the adorable nursery Lisa styled. Max was such a calm, good baby and spending time with these wonderful new parents and their beautiful family was such a treat! Also, social media can sometimes be the best... I love seeing all the pictures of Max growing up too fast!

Authorities still searching for escaped inmate
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man wanted for walking away from his work detail on President's Island is still at large.
OC Jackson was working at the Sterno Factory when he walked away almost two weeks ago. Jackson told WREG's Michael Quander by phone he had been feeling sick and depressed, and needed to get away.
He claimed to regret his decision, but by the time he realized what he had done, it was too late. He said he would be turning himself in on November 17th, but failed to do so.
The lead investigator at the Shelby County Department of Corrections told WREG they've made numerous attempts to bring him in, but they have not been successful. They are asking the public to remain on high alert.
Jackson was convicted of aggravated burglary in 2014 and was put on probation with time served.
According to court documents, Jackson violated probation three times and his three-year sentence was re-activated in October.

Personal results may vary. If you follow the advice outlined in my health recovery videos, books and DVDs, your results may be better or worse than those outlined below. Recovery is not guaranteed, as there are always lots of variables at play. The people below are certainly glad that they followed my advice - but your results may not be as remarkable. Additionally - it is always a good idea to secure the services of a local, licensed and regulated wholistic health care practitioner to help you objectively gauge your response to whatever health recovery strategy you are employing. - Dr. Glidden
Hey Doc, spending time with you is never wasted. Came across Dr. Glidden 12 Bad Foods on U Tube about a year ago, gr8 stuff, stopped eating these. Started on Youngevity at that time, since then. brain fog, no more, had seizures a few years back, have weaned down to 1 pill per day will be off them in a few more weeks, headaches gone, better balance at all times, more energy. Am a 70-year-old male still work most every day, am an avid gardener, cycle a couple of time a week weather permitting. Take care have a gr8 day, Martin
This may seem like not a big deal but every month I've suffered greatly from menstrual cramps, constant headaches & nausea. Over the past few months I've noticed a reduction of symptoms & this month I've had NO SYMPTOMS AT ALL. I'm completely floored & ecstatic. It appears that my calcium and, magnesium reservoir is getting topped off. I think the Beyond Osteo FX is a little under rated.
I want to start off my story which in April of 2017, I found Dr. Glidden from a you tube video on Chemotherapy. I knew from seeing other friends family and Acquaintances who followed this protocol did not last long and had horrible side effects. After watching Dr. Glidden's radio show and his description of the 12 bad foods I was always open minded and began the journey of eliminating these foods from my diet. Also into the bargain I began to take the 90 EN on a daily basis. The Changes that occurred kept me going because the first symptom of really bad heartburn vanished. I was also prone to headaches daily. That also vanished. Following the 12 bad food list one naturally will move away from a high carb diet, to one high in protein and vegetables. Before even I had even noticed, I was being complemented on the weight that I was losing. I went from a 34 inch waist down the a 32 and the "beer belly" vanished. I also had ringing in the ears and back pain. I began taking extra calcium and Gluco gels and both of these conditions have been corrected. I also was running a blood pressure of 155 over 102 on a regular basis. One year later my resting blood pressure is 135 over 86!! My sleep is better, my mood is better, my sex drive is better, everything has brightened up and as a male who is 51 years old I'm looking forward to many more healthy years because of Dr. Glidden and Dr. Wallach!!
I have become a champion of the Naturopathic Doctor when it comes to chronic aliments, and will never stop. God bless these men and the work that they do.

#equinebusinessalphabet – G
Earlier this year I wrote a blog post about myself (which you can find here), because I think it's important to know that behind your screen, I am a real person! I'm a mum, a horse owner, and now run my own photography business, which I truly hope you will be a part of.
So I thought I'd do a few random facts on this post instead, a quickfire round if you like:
- I have a 6 month old daughter. In fact next week she will be 7 months. It's going too fast!
- The main thing I missed when I was pregnant was steak because I love it medium-rare, and parma ham because you're not meant to eat cured meat. Sad times but totally worth it
- I would love to go back to Australia one day. I love to travel
- I have a dent in my leg from a dirtbike incident 8 years ago
- I hate lumpy yoghurts with bits of fruit in
- I have two cats, two guinea pigs and a horse
- My favourite flower is a Calla Lily, my wedding bouquet was deep purple ones, which I had dried and framed after we got married, and they are hung in my lounge
- I have three tattoos, and would love more but probably can't have them due to my blood thinners
- I always wanted a pug, but the money I saved for one went towards buying my horse, Rio!
- I think I have a small coca cola addiction, and also, it should always be out of a chilled can or glass bottle
- You won't see me in many places without my yard boots on…
Well that's a little more randomness from me, I'll be back tomorrow! Don't forget to subscribe to my mailing list for a chance to win a FREE photoshoot in 2017, or be added to my snow photoshoot list. I have a good feeling about the white stuff this year!
