"Modern Forensic Science In Crisis"
For forty seasons, Nova has been bringing viewers documentaries showcasing a myriad of subjects. The fortieth season included the episode entitled Forensics On Trial. The reliance on forensics literally makes the crime drama genre possible. In Forensics on Trial, the spotlight turns to the real-life science and its possible pitfalls.
Forensics on Trial is divided into five briskly moving segments. First up is a discussion of fingerprint analysis. Using the Madrid bombing of 2004 as a backdrop, the show details how a commonly held belief — that all fingerprints are unique — is up for debate. The segment ends with a look at a possible new technology which could give more detail, and thus more accuracy, to future fingerprint collections.
Next up is an unsolved 1991 murder in upstate New York and how the science of bite mark analysis isn't science as much as art. There was no new technology to ooh and ahh over on this one. Following that brief bit is a look into the use of both CT and MRI scans. Both of these technologies combine to produce a 3D image which can be used for a virtual autopsy. This provides both a greater range of findings as well as a longer-lasting composite which can be revisited forever.
Then we learn every aspect of forensic science is open to error simply due to its reliance on human interpretation. The lack of an abundance of hard science has left the field open to critics who want to remove as much of the human element from crime-solving as possible. The main argument is that a lack of standard forensic practices across the country leaves evidence open not only to interpretation but also corruption. The ease with which evidence can be compromised is brought home with a look at the Nicole Brown Simpson murder. The show posits O.J. Simpson was found not guilty because the defense put the evidence on trial and showcased the possibility it was mishandled.
The show closes with a short segment featuring the integration of video game technology with laser mapping. This new technology will be able to provide a map of crime scenes without unnecessary police presence.
Presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen, the visuals offer a nice even palette without too much saturation, holding its own with currently broadcast shows. The audio is simple Dolby 2.0 Stereo, but it doesn't need to be more than that and I found it more than serviceable. English SDH subtitles are included for the hearing impaired, and there are no special features.
So many shows rely on forensic science that to call into question the real-life application is jarring, but the show does a good job presenting a balanced picture, neither defending nor decrying the subject matter. I came away feeling like I learned something without completely losing my faith in forensics, so I count it as a win. This is an admittedly brief look at the topic, so if you're looking for an in-depth analysis this is not for you. Forensics On Trial is a perfect choice for someone interested in learning the basics of forensic science without investing much time. Barring reruns of the episode, a purchase is your best bet.

As the title says.
I'm a Ozone guy and need a weapon to beat one of my competitor who is using Flysurfer Soul. I have a Chrono V2 15m and a Edge V9 8m as my setup. We used to get about the same height on our Woo's but now when he got the new Soul kites 8m and 12m he's beating me every time. Last session I was on my Edge V9 8m and he was on his brand new Soul 12m.
I got 14.7m and he got 18m (two times) on his Woo. He only went for height and I did a lot of loops and other trix as well.
The wind was about 20-28knots gusty.
Has anyone tried both Chrono V3 and Soul?
I'm now selling my Chrono V2 15m and getting a V3 13m.
Interesting to see how a lower aspect kite out jumps higher aspect kites. The Soul seems to beat the Sonic kite by far when it comes to boosting. 18m on a 12m kite is crazy good.

Export Manager Career Information
Are you interested in international trade? Want to have a say in what leaves the country and when? How about a career in exports? Let's tell you more about this lucrative field.
What an Export Manager does
Export is one of the most profitable business activities in the world today. In India export trade has gained a significant place in the economy. The government gives various incentives to exporters who earn valuable foreign exchange for the country by importing modern technology, fuel and other essential inputs.
Export managers deal in all kinds of goods and commodities like garments, leather accessories and garments, textile, handicrafts, pharmaceuticals, handicrafts, bulk drugs and chemicals, rice, wheat, edible oil, engineering goods, etc.
Their tasks include:
• Research and tracking of needs for products, which could be exported from the home country to foreign countries
• Identification of markets (country/region) for export of goods and commodities
• Merchandising and marketing of goods in foreign markets
• Identification of buyers in foreign markets
• Dealing and negotiating with foreign buyers
• Executing trade contracts with foreign buyers
• Procurement/production of goods and commodities
• Planning of the logistics of delivery of goods and commodities to foreign markets
• Dealing and negotiating with various parties involved in foreign trade like C & F agents, freight forwarding and customs clearing agents, shipping agents, multi-model transport agents, excise and customs authorities and port authorities
• Fulfilling the documentation necessary for export of goods and commodities
• Monitoring trade contracts and expediting payments for goods and commodities that are exported to foreign countries
Other functions in the organisation like finance, production, human resources development, and systems are generally taken care of professionals trained and experienced in these areas.
Export managers are needed mainly for two broad specific functions: Marketing and Export documentation and procedures.
International marketing is different from domestic marketing as the factors are vastly diverse. The markets are largely governed by factors unknown in domestic markets. The culture, socio-economic situation and consumer lifestyles are different. That is why an international marketing manager has to have a different training than that of a domestic marketing manager.
Export documentation and procedures are again very complicated and has to be followed under Indian Law and International Law. As the name suggests this area of export deals with vast documentation and a strict procedure has to be followed before goods are allowed to be exported out of the country and allowed into foreign countries. So, these activities call for specially trained people.
The export trade also has scope for the following professionals:
Custom Agents - They act as mediators between exporters and custom services. They file appropriate documents and act as intermediaries with government departments.
Exim Consultants/Agents - They are consultants working for clients. Their tasks include coordinating between import-export firms and foreign and domestic buyers and sellers, planning the delivery of goods, evaluation of taxes in relation to import and export, completing custom formalities and acting as trade representatives of importer/exporter while the freight handling is done.
They also identify market for export of goods, identify buyers in foreign country, act as agents of foreign companies and identify importer of goods in India. They help to make a deal between buyers and sellers.
Freight Forwarding and Customs Clearing Agents - They plan and implement logistics of international trade, handle procedural and documentation requirements, and coordinate between the clients (who wants to import or export goods, in other words, involved in international trade) and the various parties and agencies involved in the process.
They also consult clients on the intricacies of international trade like risk management, payment obligations, valuation of goods for custom and excise duties, and so on.
Job Opportunity You can get a job in:
• Companies involved in international trade/export
• Export oriented Companies
• International business/trade/export department of companies across various sectors of the industry.
• Shipping agencies, marine insurance companies
• Freight forwarding and customs clearing agencies
• Ministry of commerce, Govt. of India
• Firms involved in international marketing and research
• International trade development organisations (independent organisations as well as those under govt. of various countries
• Export promotion councils of govt. of India
• Multi-model transport agencies
• Faculty in institutions teaching international business/trade/export management
• International trade consultants
• Banks
• International cargo carriers (Shipping companies, airlines, cargo and courier companies
• Export processing zones
Career Prospects
Companies are now increasingly looking for greener pastures outside India to expand and survive. This is the trend all over the world. With communication becoming instantaneous via computers business is going global today.
This scenario has propelled the demand for professional managers trained in export and international business. And right now availability of trained managers in international business is not enough to meet the demand for them.
The field offers tremendous opportunities. Moreover the government is seriously concerned with promotion of exports of goods and services from India. The aim is to achieve an export growth rate of 30 per cent a year.
Constant effort is also being made by the financial agencies to provide finance and identify new markets in the world. Export infrastructure is also very good in India.
The change in the economic scenario in our country has rendered foreign trade as a lucrative profession. India has developed for herself an extensive export promotion system and several promotion bodies and export related services have been set up.
The country's exports have been rising substantially during the last few years. This has been the thrust of our economic policies. With every scene pointing towards improvement and development every day, foreign trade as a recognized profession has come of age.
Abilities & Traits Required
Candidates with managerial skills and aptitudes such as excellent communication skills, leadership abilities, very strong analytical and logical skills, above average interpersonal skills, creativity and innovativeness do very well.
The ability to analyse quickly, make purchase decisions and evaluate products before shipment needs alertness at all times. Ability to work with a team and good command over spoken and written language is a must. Working knowledge of a foreign language will be an asset.
Export managers must be updated on international law, finance, production information etc. General awareness of the international marketing scenario and awareness of socio-cultural trends will be an added advantage.
The best way to enter this line of international business is to go for a postgraduate degree/diploma in Export Management/International Business/International Business Administration from a recognised university or institute like Indian institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT).
There are many diploma courses offered by privately run institutes. These diplomas are helpful no doubt, but these are not enough to jump start your career. On the other hand if you opt for these diploma courses after gaining 2-3 years of experience after graduation you can expect to get a good break in the industry.
Many export firms take fresh commerce graduates in the Documentation Department. This may not fetch a handsome salary but the experience can be very enriching. Many export firms prefer MBAs or equivalent diploma holders in the marketing department. Such persons can do well if they also obtain a diploma in export management/documentation.
For entry into PG Diploma courses in International Business in reputed universities, institutes like IIFT, a student should obtain at least 45-50 per cent in graduation examination under 10+2+3 system (IIFT needs at least 50 per cent marks).
As a management trainee you will get between Rs 15000-25000 or more a month. Plain graduates start at Rs 12000-15000 a month. Junior managers make between Rs 27000-30000 or more a month, while senior managers take home Rs 65000 or month a month.
There are opportunities to set up ones own export firm also. After some initial hiccups, an entrepreneur may earn crores, all tax tree! After 10-12 years experience in export business, many turn consultants. Consultants also earn very handsomely, anything between Rs 65000-1000000 a month. Overall, this career is highly prospective and opportunities will increase in the first part of next century.

This is a draft. These ideas or not thought-out. I don't even know if I believe them yet. I'm just spitballing and thinking things through.
I've recently accepted a job with Keen.io, which has had me thinking a lot about the hiring/interviewing process. The interview process sucks in pretty much all regards, and that's a hard problem, but there's one part of obtaining a new job that I find unnecessarily stressful: salary negotiations. Pretty much for any job, but especially for engineers, it is commonly accepted that you're foolishly leaving money on the table if you're not negotiating your salary. Intial offers are given under the assumption that you negotiate. Common thinking says that the only reason you wouldn't negotiate your salary is because either you don't know you should, or you're too chicken to try.
I'm writing this post with future employers (hopefully those don't exist for me. <3 you, Keen) in mind. This is often an awkward and aggressive conversation to have, and it'll be easier if I've got this in written form.
Here's the deal: I'm not negotiating with you.
The common and simple thinking of the salary negotiation process paints the employer and employee as two opposing forces. They want opposite things. The employee wants to make as much money as possible, and the employer wants to spend as little money as possible. It's simple incentives.
But that's dumb, and simply not true. Companies invest a ludicrous amount of money in their employees - paid for both in valuable time and real dollars. New employees need equipment - desk, laptop, swag, software, office space, etc. - and they need training - potentially months of lead time before they actually start generating value. None of that is even considering the amount of money spent to convince that person that they might want to work there.
So let's be clear - it costs an incredible amount of money for a company to hire someone - way more than the float on that person's salary range. If a new hire quits their job - say they negotiated a better salary at a different company - the company loses all of the money they've invested. They also lose the time it takes to hire and onboard a replacement. That's real money.
So economically it doesn't make sense. The simplest bargaining chip for keeping an employee onboard is their salary. It would be ridiculous to lose an employee over something as simple as salary. But the economics aren't the most important part, here. The real reason I'm not going to negotiate with you is because of the relationship I want to have with you.
Our goal here - both yours and mine - is that at the end of the day I should work for your company. Nine of my sixteen-ish waking hours every day will be spent devoting myself to the continued success of your company. I'm going to spend that time not only working for you, but interacting with you. Simply put, the relationship between me and my employer is one of the most significant relationships in my life. I want that relationship to be postiive - built on trust and a desire for mutual gain.
I want you, my employer, to care about how happy I am. I want you to make sure that I never have to worry about feeding my family. I want it to be important to you that I can afford the comforts that I consider necessary. In return, I want to achieve and surpass the goals that you have set. I want to make you the most money I possibly can. I want to build a strong culture of excellent teammates that deliver wonderful results to our customers.
This is mutual. We're a team. We're working together to meet each other's goals.
Teammates don't argue over inconsequential amonts of money.
So I won't negotiate with you. There is a certain amount of money that I need to make in order to support my family and enjoy the few comforts I require. It's not a crazy amount of money. I don't desire to be a millinoaire. I just need enough money to cover these basics. I will not ask for more. You can trust me.
I expect you to offer me the amount of money that you think I am worth. I expect this number will be closely related to the amount of value that I will provide you. Value probably has something to do with the going rate for the type of work that I do, but I'll let you do the math. I trust you.
If I say no to the salary you offer me, it means you've either offered less than what I need to make, or that I believe you are offering me less than I am worth to you. I'm fairly good at estimating that stuff. If I say no to your offer, I am confident you will know for which reason I declined.
But I look forward to saying yes. I look forward to not negotiating. I look forward to trusting you, and building an awesome company where salary isn't a stressor in our relationship.

Intelligent NiCd/NiMH Charger/Cycler with 2x16 Character LCD
The accu cycler project presented here is a great solution for charging and discharging NiCd and NiMH accumulators for R/C modelers and others who make use of these accumulator types. With its performance it is very close to the many of the commercial products available on the market. The 'power' part of the design is not a common choice in similar applications, having in mind of its size and energy dissipation, but it is very easy to understand its principles of operation even for beginners in electronics. The 'intelligent' part of the design communicates with PC using serial port providing additional process visualization. The process graph is saved to on-board EEPROM memory and it is possible to download the data to PC even when the charging/discharging process has finished.
The screenshot of the Accu Cycler application
The Accu Cycler application is available for download here.
The firmware for the 16F876A chip used in this design is given in the form of Basic source program that has to be compiled with PIC Simulator IDE integrated Basic compiler to get the HEX file ready to be programmed into the microcontroller.

Stories that Move: launched, lauded and invited to the United Nations
The Stories that Move toolbox against discrimination was publicly launched this summer – and has already been recognised with a prestigious educational award and an invitation to the UN in New York.
For information about upcoming seminars and workshop about Stories that Move, see the links below.
The Comenius EduMedia medal for excellent teaching materials was presented by the Institute for Pedagogy and Media in Berlin. The judges said they were impressed by the way Stories that Move used interactive and audio-visual media to help young Europeans think about prejudices, and perhaps empowering them to act.
At the official launch of the toolbox in Berlin in June, Juliane Seifert, the State Secretary at the German Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth, also had warm praise:
"What impressed me most was that so many young people were willing to share their own personal experiences to show 'you are not alone'," she told experts from all over Europe at the launch and international conference on 28-29 June. "But Stories that Move does not only empower young people threatened by discrimination, it also provides the means to prevent them discriminating against others – by promoting diversity as a strength of society."
Now, we are proud to announce that Stories that Move will be presented at the UN headquarters in New York on 2 November 2018, at a conference to mark the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Kristallnacht 80 years ago. The United Nations Outreach Programme will host a workshop for teachers with a focus on human rights education.
Throughout the coming academic year we will be holding training courses and workshops for educators wanting to get to know the toolbox in various countries, including two seminars at the International School of Amsterdam.
Click on the dates for more information on the respective seminars:
21 November 2018, in Amsterdam (in English)
If you would like one of the Stories that Move team¬Ýmembers to present the toolbox at your school or conference, please contact us at: firstname.lastname@example.com to top

For security causes, don't select this option if anyone else makes use of this laptop. The period is set in keeping with the quantity borrowed and your skill to repay the loan. It's worthwhile to decide if you want to do the renovation yourself or rent knowledgeable who can do it for you. There is no such thing as a service cost to pay, although this renovation mortgage remains covered by the law on shopper loans (costs).
For a 36-year-old particular person renovating his residence for USD 30,000, the Loan is reimbursed over a 3-yr interval by means of equal monthly installments of USD 946 at an Annual Percentage Price (APR) of 9.eighty five{24273843150c3706517fc871c50cade0e5cd5486aa18cacde569b451e086bc27} (together with interest, life and hearth insurance coverage premiums, file charges, professional fees, mortgage and mortgage launch charges), the latter being variable and reviewable.
We added some things like insulations, and so forth, so the renovation value round P330k. Appraisal must tackle the deliberate renovation with estimated market value of the home after the renovations are completed. If the value of the mortgage is to be based on the worth of the home after the renovations are accomplished, you will need to provide proof of the property appreciating in value.
It is usually vitally important to draft a binding contract between the home-owner and the company you might be contemplating hiring in your rest room renovation project and don't sign on any dotted line until you might be utterly glad with their work ethics and insurance policies.
Combining Deposit Safety Insurance up to $a hundred,000 with Warranty Insurance coverage that covers materials and labour as much as $one hundred,000, the Renovation Program gives comprehensive safety – and welcome peace of thoughts – from the second a homeowner engages with a home renovation company until two years after the work is considerably completed.

Why People Think Are A Good Idea
Factors to Consider When Choosing the Best Preschool Centre in Rockland County NY
Choosing the best preschool for your kid isn't easy bearing the fact that there are thousands of preschools in Rockland County. The center that you will choose for your kid's first education can affect the kid's academic performance and general skills development. This means that you have to look for a preschool that is determined to build your kid for the best in all aspects of life. Faced with many options for preschool Rockland County it will not be easy to know which center is the best for your kids' education. This site has tried to simplify for you some of the things that you will have to consider before you confirm a certain preschool is the best for your kid.
Start by asking when did the center start offering children care. The years of experience for the center you are interested in for your kid daycare services are very crucial. This is because the preschool that has been handling children for many years now know how best to care for different children needs since they have been exposed to various challenges in the line of providing children daycare services, This means that the center is now equipped in handling different kinds of children needs to ensure they all get the best education.
The second factor to consider is the preschool amenities. When you are looking for the best preschool for your kind you need to make sure that the center is amenities are children friendly. Look for the center with modern buildings, enough space for kids to play around, a well-equipped playground and a well-protected area for kid's safety. Also, the preschool center that is far from the traffic will provide the children with a better environment for learning to be assured of the safety of your child while in school. Besides you have to look for a preschool with a school bus for pick up and dropping off the kids in the morning and after school time respectively.
The training of the teacher. Before you choose a preschool for your kid's daycare you need to access the qualification of the teachers handling the children. The best preschool for your child is the one that invests in well trained and experienced teachers to take care of the kids. You can request for the teachers' credentials to be assured that they are the best to mold your kid. Teachers that have worked with children for decades will be best because they are familiar with kids hence they can offer personalized care to each child.
Consider the school program. You need to visit the school or call to enquire about the school program. You need to look for a preschool that will be committed to providing an interactive curriculum for kids and also nurturing every talent. You also need to ensure the school is set to accommodate children with special health needs like asthma. Being assured that your asthmatic child is in the safe hands of people who care will give you peace of mind as you continue with your daily work.

After months of teaser images and speculation, Mercedes-AMG finally unveiled their incredible new Mercedes-AMG Project One hypercar at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show. Taking championship winning Formula One technology to the streets, AMG CEO Tobias Moers was quoted saying to Top Gear: "Zero to 100km/h [0-62mph] is not a serious figure any more. So many EVs are quick, they have traction and no lag. But yes, the Project One will match a Formula One car". If that isn't the way to celebrate a brand's 50th anniversary, then we don't know what is.
The figures certainly back Moers up; over 1000bhp, a top speed beyond 217mph and, possibly most amazing of all, a 0-124mph time of under six seconds. These sensational performance statistics come courtesy of a plug-in hybrid drive system – consisting of a 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 and multiple electric motors - that comes directly from the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula One car.
The trend of implementing Formula One tech into the Mercedes-AMG Project One has led to some fascinating ways of implementing the car's electric motors. For example, the first of four electric motors is within the turbocharger to eliminate turbo lag – much like on an F1 car. A second 160bhp e-motor works on the crankshaft and then another two 160bhp, 50,000rpm, electric motors independently drive the front wheels.
Promoting that the fact that Project One is literally a Formula One car for the road, those two electric motors on the front wheels grant this hypercar the ability to drive in pure electric mode. Impossible for Formula One cars due to the MGU-K system that they utilise, this ability for emission free driving was an important accomplishment for the Mercedes-AMG team.
These two independent 120kW electric motors also assist handling by forming part of the all-wheel drive torque vectoring system that can accelerate and brake each wheel independently.
Of course, this much power requires a good splash of aerodynamic wizardry if it's going to be used effectively; as such, Project One uses a whole host of active aerodynamic elements to make sure it stays stuck to the tarmac. Underneath the car, deployable vanes open to help increase downforce whilst flaps in the front wheel-arches help to control air through their respective areas. Moving to the rear, you'll find active aero in the form of a two-stage rear wing that features a moving rear wing that is embedded in another moving rear wing.
Looking at the overall aesthetic of Project One, it certainly has the look of a hypercar; sporting a sleek silhouette, muscular wheel arches, the aforementioned aerodynamic elements and the much debated shark fin. Combined, the muscular body – that benefits from ground effects – and active aero elements grant Project One more downforce than a modern GT3 racing car.
The interior continues the racing car aesthetic through the use of high performance materials, such as carbon fibre, and minimalistic design. Featuring few distractions, the driver is free to focus on the road/track ahead whilst being seated in a stunning bucket seat and utilising a steering wheel that has seemingly come straight from a Formula One racing car.
Minimalistic design and racing technology aside, Mercedes-AMG have ensured that Project One remains a usable road car by including features like air conditioning, power windows, the COMAND infotainment system and small lockers behind the seats for luggage.
The Mercedes-AMG Project One is an incredibly exciting car and we very much look forward to seeing more details as they appear over the coming months. Be sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to make sure that you keep up-to-date with this Formula One car for the road.

A Real Author?
Posted in blog Tagged danielle, huh, vacation, vermont, writing retreats, wtfkery 9 Comments
So I've been offline for a week or so, hanging out with family and friends in Vermont. It was nice to get away and unplug, get back to nature and eat some fabulous and copious amounts of food. However, the first part of the week was spent at a writer's retreat with Danielle Poiesz. Now, I fully admit I've never actually been to a retreat – invited to them, sure. The timing just had never worked out, so when Danielle asked me to tag along as a guest, I jumped at the chance, especially because I was able to combine it with a spring break trip for the kids. Now, as far as retreats go, I suppose it started out okay. It was hosted at a rustic/historical farm house up in the mountains. There was wi-fi and cable and a fire in the fireplace every night and several chefs drifting… Read more

On Monday, June 3rd, 2019, Google checked a premiere: a new update was announced just one day before on Twitter. This is the first time that Google announces an algorithm update in advance. June 2019 Core Update is the second major update this year after the famous Florida 2.0 in March, which has had a significant impact and has led to major changes in positioning certain websites in Google searches.
What it did, what changes it brought and how it affects SEO
Although the algorithm was announced the day before it was launched, and despite the fact that Google's official Twitter information appeared in real-time on the launch day, it does not mean that the impact on SERPs will be immediately visible. Why? Because this update must first be implemented in Google's physically located locations in different locations around the world. According to Google's official Twitter releases, it will take a few days for the update of the search algorithm to be fully implemented and will have concrete effects.
By June 2nd, 2019, the announcement of an update before being rolled by Google was completely unheard of. But two days ago, not only had a new update been announced (an update that would indeed affect page indexing), but also its name was revealed: the June 2019 Core Update. Before today, Google announced these updates only after they were implemented.
Danny Sullivan, who is currently acting as Google Search Liaison, explained the reason behind the decision to announce this update before it becomes active. It seems that Google wants to take a pro-active attitude in distributing this kind of information in advance. This decision was made after analyzing the behavior of marketers and SEO specialists around the world, their concerns and the questions that arise after each major update. That's why Google wants the audience to be ready in advance, avoiding confusion and worries.
What is a Google Core Update and what is its impact on indexing?
Core Update is an update that does not focus on specific features of a site or search / query. In his case, the changes are more subtle, with the update mostly dealing with fine elements within the algorithm.
What can you do if you have fallen into the search rankings after such an update?
Last year, Google provided some vital information about Core Update. It seems that website owners can not fix some errors so they regain their position in the ranking. There are, therefore, no specific errors that can be corrected or resolved. What Webmasters and Search Engine Marketing agencies can do in return is to provide visitors with quality content, unique content. Then, you have to follow Google's recommendations to climb the rankings, reading as much as possible about how to do it right. Only through in-depth study and, of course, by resorting to industry specialists, website owners will understand how Google reviews sites and how to improve the content of visitors.
Evolution of SEO campaigns monitored
Following this announcement on the Twitter social network, we've been staring at our customers' SEO campaigns. Except for only two websites monitored, we did not notice any noticeable change in visibility, other than the usual light variations.
Client with unaffected positioning
On others, two – and only to them – have seen clear and quite significant increases, each on a niche with a strong competition.
Client increases positioning
Google SEO update 2019
We continue to monitor SEO campaigns to see the overall impact and build a relevant image based on possible wider change of positioning of customer websites for the keywords tracked, but at the moment, as seen in the above images, the trend seems be that where there are no spectacular increases or decreases in SERPs for most customers.
Also, in the Cognitive SEO app for UK there is a sudden change in the algorithm on 3 June 2019.
Update June 10:
A week later, after this Google algorithm update has been fully implemented and its effects have already stabilized, we can draw some conclusions.
The first is that it was an update that, at least for us and our customers, whose SEO is constantly monitored, has positively affected us. In most cases, even better and more spectacular results than we would have expected, given that it is not a major algorithm update.

Pro Wrestling
Behind the Scenes at a WWE RAW event
A few weeks back, I had the opportunity to attend a WWE RAW the day after SummerSlam at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. The event came on the heels of a good, but not great SummerSlam event. You can catch a full review here by the always great Dan Yanofsky.
Anyway, the crowd after WrestleMania and SummerSlam is supposed to be two of the hottest crowds on the WWE schedule. It was an alright show, but the crowd wasn't fully into it until the very end (we'll get to that). The biggest issue with the WWE product in general is that there's too much content. Three hours of RAW, two hours of Smackdown Live, all of the content on the WWE Network and all of the PPVs overexpose the talent. I don't regret going, but there are a lot of things that most fans wouldn't realize until they went to an event live. Here are some of the biggest differences between TV and live:
Most of the show is filler
If you're an avid WWE fan, you probably already know this. The most important times to watch RAW are at the top of each hour (8 p.m., 9 p.m. and 10 p.m.) and everything in between is just filler. The pre-show (Main Event) is a way to get as many wrestlers as possible at least something to look forward to. However, Mojo Rawley vs Rhyno doesn't move the needle and most fans weren't in their seats before the main show. There really aren't that many intriguing storylines, but in the Attitude Era and even after that the show was always building towards something.
When you have matches like Bobby Lashley vs Baron Corbin, a six-women tag match between the Riott Squad and Bayley/Sasha Banks/Ember Moon, and a twenty-minute long promo by Triple H, you know that Vince McMahon is just screaming for someone to grab that brass ring. The crowd was fatigued by the end of the night but having The Shield come out and having a nice cliffhanger of Braun Strowman attempting to cash in his Money in the Bank contract was a great way to end a mediocre show.
It's refreshing without the commentary
No offense to Michael Cole, but it's very refreshing to watch an entire show without having to hear his over the top commentary. Corey Graves and 'The Coach' Jonathan Coachman have been fine, but there are just too many voices that say too many things when some things just need a little time to breathe.
Being able to watch a pure wrestling show is a breath of fresh air and something that needs to be done more if you're a fan. It's expensive, but going to a live show at least once in a while is worth the price of admission. Watching on mute is also acceptable, but it doesn't feel the same as most people wind up distracted while they're watching and don't fully pay attention.
WWE ain't the only show in town anymore
While the WWE is still a money-making machine, there are so many other options out there for wrestling fans. It was evident in the fact that "ALL IN" (a Cody Rhodes production) has taken the wrestling universe by storm with great storylines and even better wrestling. It's also evident in the fact that RAW wasn't sold out the day after SummerSlam.
Most will attribute it to wrestling fatigue, as Brooklyn hosted NXT TakeOver, SummerSlam, RAW and Smackdown Live, but WWE seems to have lost a step in their wrestling empire. Like I said, they're still making plenty of money, but it's actually good that there's some competition now. The plays to nostalgia and lack of direction (other than Roman Reigns) has been getting old for a very long time. Maybe the competition will launch a new initiative to change the programs.
Overall, RAW is still a good product. Even though it's too long and a lot of the product is filler, it's still a wonderful experience for any wrestling fan. If you have the opportunity, make sure to attend a show. It's always a good time, and wrestling fans are some of the most welcoming people in the world. It's just funny how different a show can be live as opposed to on television.

Mount Athos
Key information: Mount Athos
- The mountainous monastery peninsula of Mt. Athos protrudes, as the easternmost finger of the Halkidiki Peninsula, some 60km into the northern Aegean Sea. It is home to a multitude of Orthodox monastic houses, fortified against the raiders of history, which perch on crags and slumber in sandy coves. They shelter beautiful, ancient buildings, paintings and other treasures.
- Walk on the ancient paths, contouring cliffs and crossing the wooded hillsides, that link the monasteries. Enjoy big views of the rugged mountains and the sea and the beautiful and varied vegetation.
- Only men are allowed on the peninsula. Access is limited and permits are hard to get.

Mount Athos is a last living vestige of the Byzantine world, a unique, self-governing, monastic statelet, the eastern finger of Greeces Halkidiki peninsula. It is now a world heritage site.
Women and, famously, beardless youths and female animals are excluded, and only monks live here permanently. It is tough getting there. Athos is only accessible by sea, so access can be regulated - and you have to have a pass to be allowed in. A mere 10 non-Orthodox visitors can enter each day, and you have to apply for entry exactly 6 months ahead.
Nestling in Athos' gorges and forests, or looming on seaside crags, are a plethora of monasteries and lesser houses, many of them living museums housing priceless icons, paintings, books and other treasures, which shelter nearly 2,000 Orthodox monks. In its heyday there were tens of thousands here. Many still live in scattered hermitages and sketes groups of monks living idiorrhythmic, self-regulating, lives.
Remember: Athos is sacred, an Orthodox monastic place of retreat. Don't go unless you will go in a spirit of enquiry and respect. You can only stay in the monasteries and sketes, and it will be wrong not to attend services while there. Most houses now require advance booking, so plan ahead. Some are very small and only have a few places.
You can get round much of the peninsula by bus, but the traditional way is what will appeal to Walkopedians: on foot along the many remaining ancient paths and mule tracks, to Athos' remotest places. While this can be done throughout the peninsula, the only truly untouched area is in the wild south, below the great marble peak, at 2,030m the highest point for miles around.
This will mean taking a bustling little ferry from Ouranopoli just north-west of the boundary wall, getting off at your chosen destination.
There are many possible routes, but the best and most varied in the time available (a maximum of 3 nights for non-Orthodox visitors) would be to land below the Kavsokalivia skete and walk to the Grand Lavra, the oldest (and grandest!) monastery on Athos. The track contours the cliffside through gorgeous maquis.
The second day is a long march westward across the forested lower slopes. This is ravishing walking, though perhaps not as extravagantly furnished as yesterday's trail high above the sea. There is something delightful and deeply moving about the destination, the Kerasia skete, where we are to spend the night. The contrast with the grandeur of the Lavra could not be greater.
You will need to be up early for the big climb of Mt Athos, which is a demanding toil, but produces amazing views of the whole peninsula. There is a choice about where to spend that night, depending on how fit you are: St Anna, the mountain's oldest skete, is probably the nearest and has the sort of view that could cost hundreds a night on the Amalfi coast.
The last day follows glorious paths high above the west coast, visiting dour Pavlou and beautiful Dionysiou and Grigoriou. You can get a ferry at Grigoriou, or press on to the port of Dafni - but that will make for a long walk with a tight deadline to get the last ferry out.
The scenery on Athos is superb - precipitous mountains, pinnacled cliffs and sea - as is the vegetation; a marvelous mix of forest, much of it still virgin, in the south particularly; and bright and varied maquis of bush and shrub.
of this walk
In May 2009, after interminable preparations, four middle-aged Englishmen made the pilgrimage-journey to Mount Athos, the sacred eastern finger of the Halkidiki peninsula in northern Greece.
It was an arduous process even getting there: they laughed the year before, when I tried to obtain diamonitiria, entry visas, in February for a May visit. Only 10 non-orthodox visitors (and 100 Orthodox) are allowed in each day, and you now have to apply 6 months in.....READ MORE

Books and Maps
Books on this walk
A Pilgrim's Guide to Mount Athos – The Friends of Mt Athos: indispensible if brief, but you need to join the friends to get it. Worthwhile.
Athos Guide – Lectus.
Chapter in The Mountains of Greece - Cicerone – good on routes, a bit thin on other information (eg the monasteries).
The Station: Athos: Treasures and Men – Robert Byron: unmissable if at times annoying. Includes the claim he could see both Olympus and Troy from the summit.
Other books
Renewal in Paradise – Graham Speake: essential reading.
From the Holy Mountain – William Dalrymple: a general tours of the remains of the Byzantine world in Asia minor, starting at Athos
Vol [ ] [1979] of James Lees-Milne's diaries for an interesting if at times petulant account of his visit .
Lonely Planet: Greece – reasonable basic information on Athos, competent otherwise.
(Now old: There are apparently not many walking-quality maps: the recommended one is Reinhold Zwerger's 2001 1:50,000 map which is itself a bit out of date, not showing new roads above the Nea Skete, for instance. Available from the Friends. Other maps are available locally and (while a bit defective on paths) worth buying and using in conjunction with Zwerger's.)
2019: The Friends of Mount Athos Footpath Project informed us as follows: "Detailed walk descriptions for most of the important routes on the mountain plus GPS tracks for many of them can be downloaded here: https://www.athosfriends.org/footpaths/footpaths_chart/ . There are also Greek versions.The Zwerger map you mention is no longer updated, so becomes increasingly inaccurate.The Philathonites map is the most detailed map currently available.http://www.filathonites.org/" Thank you so much!

Best times to walk/weather
Best times to walk
Spring for the flowers. Autumn is generally good. High summer gets very hot, although not a broiling as much of Greece by virtue of the proximity of the sea. Winter can get very cold and wet.
Generally fine in season, but come prepared for unpredictable mountain weather and cold nights.
For detailed weather information, have a look at: www.worldweather.org or www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/country-guides
Getting there/transport/permits/fees
Access is by boat. Most people come via Ouranopoli on the northwest coast, just above the wall.. The most-used ferry leaves at 9.45am and takes about two hours to reach Dafni (and stops at many places, going on round the southern cape). The main return ferry leaves Dafni at noon.You can also enter from Ierissos in the north-east.
You can get to Ouranopoli by bus ( some 2.5 hrs) from Thessaloniki or by taxi or hire car from the international airport at Thessaloniki. There are a lot of flights to Thessaloniki, including British Airways from Gatwick.
A permit (diamoniterion) is needed to get onto Mount Athos. They are very limited in number – only 10 for non-Orthodox each day and for 3 nights maximum - and hard to get. Check carefully about the current procedure for getting permits, which can get abit stress.. As of 2009, you had to:
- Reserve a place through the Mount Athos Bureau in Thessaloniki (tel +30 2310 252579, firstname.lastname@example.com – note that this can be frustrating as they often do not answer) exactly six months before you departure date, then
- Pick up and pay for your permit from the Ouranopoli office, which can be done the morning before the ferry leaves, but you need to be quite fleet of foot.
See Walk Summary above.
Possible problems, health, other warnings
- Mountain weather: possible at any time of year. Come prepared.
- Heat and strong sun. Carry enough water and protect yourself.
- Heights: can be dangerous; Mt Athos itself is not for those who have significant difficulties with heights.
- Dangerous animals, including snakes, wild dogs, stinging/biting insects and plants. Take all appropriate precautions.
- This is remote country: help may be hard to get if things go wrong.

Guided or independent?
Most people do this walk independently, but come fully prepared.
We are not aware of organisers of visits here for non-Orthodox people.
In monastery/skete guesthouses. Most need to be booked ahead, which can be difficult as result of non-answering and only speaking greek.
Hotel Zeus in Ouranopoli (+ 30-2377071274, www.ouranopoli.com/zeus ) is good value, popular with pilgrims and helpful. You can leave bags with them.

In today's busy world, it's becoming increasingly difficult to maintain a proper work to life balance. For many people, a job is becoming much more than a source of sustenance. It leaves very little for other activities, social life and proper relaxation.
While it may be difficult, finding a good work to life balance is imperative in a number of ways. For a start, it's one of the keys to being healthy and happy. In addition, a good balance could boost workplace productivity and contribute to career advancements.
If you don't know how to strike this delicate balance, you may want to give the following strategies a try. Making an adjustment could seem very hard in the beginning but you'll soon find out that the changes are helping you accomplish a lot.
Leave the Office at the Same Time Every Single Day
Are you a busy professional who tends to leave the office in the middle of the night? You may think that the approach is helping you accomplish a whole lot more but this isn't the case. Staying late and focusing excessively on the task at hand will make it almost impossible for you to come up with a creative solution.
Your brain needs some downtime in order to do its job properly. Critical thinking becomes nearly impossible if you're focusing on one and the same thing all of the time.
This is the main reason why you have to get in the habit of leaving the office at the exact same time every single day. This doesn't mean bringing homework to your house. It means forgetting about work until the next morning.
Such a clear line of distinction between your personal and your professional life will result in quality relaxation. Taking some time away from your work will actually boost your productivity and increase your capability of handling challenging tasks in a much shorter period of time than ever before.
Make Some Time for Yourself on a Daily Basis
Do you have a family and young kids that are relying on you? If so, you know that me-time is a nearly non-existent concept.
People like you tend to leave the office and get involved in family issues right away. While in this instance they're having a better work-life balance than a career-oriented individual, they're not finding the time to unplug.
You need a little bit of me-time on a daily basis. If you don't make some time for yourself, you'll probably go to bed feeling exhausted every single time.
Let your partner take care of the kids for an hour or two on a daily basis. Use this time to do something you enjoy. It can be painting, watching a favorite TV show or enjoying a long bath. Choose one activity that makes you happy and that you can't indulge yourself in while taking care of family issues.
Take Work Breaks
There are two very important things you have to do at the office – stop wasting time and schedule regular breaks.
Deal with distractions if you want to boost your productivity. You may want to block the website and social media that lead to wasting time. Put your phone away and focus on the project that you're currently working on. Many people have to stay late because they're distracted and they simply can't finish a task within the allocated time frame.
While dealing with distractions is very important, it's also imperative to take regular short breaks from work.
Regular breaks for 10 to 15 minutes allow your mind to slow down. Work for an hour or two and have a quick break after. You can go for a chat with colleagues, enjoy a snack or simply leave the office for a few minutes to enjoy the sunshine.
The premise here is similar to leaving work at the exact same hour every day. Short breaks help you relax and they improve your focus. Chances are that such a routine will lead to massive productivity enhancements.
Make Time for Exercise
Working out isn't just about maintaining a lean physique and loving your body. It plays a crucial role in being healthy and dealing with the chronic stress that many professionals are exposed to.
Only 20 to 30 minutes of exercise per day will be sufficient to experience the benefits. Chances are that you can find this much time for a quick exercise session.
Some people like to exercise in the morning before heading to the office. They find such a morning workout session to be particularly beneficial in terms of improving mental focus and clarity. Others exercise in the end of the day. Working out gives them a chance to unwind and deal with the workplace stress.
Choose a physical activity that you enjoy–it can be yoga or it can be kickboxing. Be consistent and you'll soon find yourself much more capable of handling stress and enjoying every aspect of your life.

Editorial: Dentsu trial chance for serious Japan Inc. soul-searching on overwork crisis
(Mainichi Japan)
Japanese society is increasingly concerned with the problem of overwork, and it seems likely the Tokyo Summary Court was acutely aware of the public gaze when it ruled the Labor Standards Act violation case against Dentsu Inc. over the 2015 overwork-induced suicide of an employee must be heard in a regular criminal trial.
Prosecutors filed a summary indictment against Dentsu -- one of the world's largest advertising companies -- and had planned to pursue the case in a summary trial, where proceedings are held behind closed doors. However, the court ruled that prosecutors were treating the case inappropriately, and ordered that Dentsu be tried as a corporation in a regular trial, where proceedings are public.
As this will be a public trial, not only must the prosecution reveal all its evidence against the accused, but it will call Dentsu representatives to the stand for questioning. Thus, details of the firm's labor management and illegal overtime practices that lie behind the death of 24-year-old Matsuri Takahashi may very well be revealed to the Japanese public. We believe the summary court made the right choice.
Takahashi worked 105 hours of overtime per month, far beyond the "overwork death danger line" of 80 hours. This fact was confirmed by the Mita Labor Standards Inspection Office in Tokyo when it ruled in 2016 that Takahashi's suicide was caused by overwork. Regional labor bureaus searched not only Dentsu's Tokyo headquarters, but also its branches in Osaka and other parts of Japan, as investigators sought to build a complete picture of illegal overtime at the prestigious company.
The 1991 suicide of a second-year Dentsu employee was also ruled as overwork-induced, and local labor standards inspection offices had since hit Dentsu with official demands to cut its excessive work hours on no less than three occasions, in 2010, 2014 and 2015. Dentsu, however, took little action to improve working conditions. Neither the company's character nor the thinking of the firm's executives changed, and for that reason it is necessary to have the causes of Takahashi's death revealed at a public trial.
The prosecution decided not to indict Takahashi's bosses as it could not confirm they had forced her to work such long hours, and therefore there was no bad intent on the part of Dentsu managers themselves. However, regarding Dentsu as a corporation, prosecutors decided that its system for preventing excessive overtime was insufficient, and was thus criminally liable.
The move to file a summary indictment against Dentsu was made in line with past labor law violation cases. However, there is a growing belief in society that the overwork problem can no longer be neglected, and the attitude of the courts has shifted accordingly. Indeed, already this year summary indictments for labor offence cases investigated by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare's special overwork countermeasures team were ruled "inappropriate."
It is a sad fact that many companies across Japan still expect their staff to work unlawfully long hours as a matter of course. To stop companies from doing this, it is necessary to force them to comply completely with labor laws. The Dentsu trial over Takahashi's suicide is a chance for firms across the country to rethink and revamp their most deeply rooted "common sense" assumptions.
