John Langenus
John Langenus (born 9 December 1891, Antwerp, Belgium;[1] died 1 October 1952 Antwerp[2]) was a Belgian football referee, who officiated for FIFA in three World Cup competitions, including the first ever Final match in 1930.

|Association football referee

|FIFA World Cup Final, 1930
Life and careerEdit
Contrary to some sources, Langenus's parents actually gave him an Anglicised Christian name, rather than call him "Jean".[3]
Langenus first undertook his refereeing exam only to fail it when he wrongly answered a question posed by examiners. The question asked of him was: "What is the correct procedure if the ball strikes a low-flying plane?". Langenus did not answer and failed the exam.[1]
1928 Summer OlympicsEdit
Langenus was selected to officiate at the 1928 Summer Olympics, and he refereed the first round match on 30 May 1928 at the Olympisch Stadion, where Uruguay beat the Netherlands by 2–0 in front of 40,000 people, and confirmed their place in the quarter-finals. He was then given the honour of controlling the Bronze Medal game, at the same venue on 10 June 1928, between Italy and Egypt, when the African side were soundly beaten by 11 goals to 3 (Schiavio, Banchero and Magnozzi all scored hat-tricks for the winning side).[4]
1930 World CupEdit
In the 1930 FIFA World Cup, held in Uruguay and the first ever to be staged, Langenus handled four matches as referee,[5] plus two as linesman.[6] Two "Group" matches played under his stewardship were followed by the first semi-final between Argentina and the United States on 26 July 1930, which finished 6–1 to the South American side.[7] Langenus officiated all his matches "whatever the heat, in cap and plus-fours". The Americans played 80 minutes of the game "with one player missing (broken leg after 10 minutes)" - "substitutes weren't allowed, so the United States played on with only 10 men".[8] There was also an incident involving one of the US medical staff, after Langenus had given a foul against one of the American players; "the team's medical attendant raced, bellicose, on to the field, to berate Langenus. Having had his say, he flung his box of medicines to the ground, the box burst open, various bottles smashed, including one full of chloroform, and its fumes rose to overpower the American. He was helped from the field."[8]
He then received the notable honour of controlling the Final, on 30 July 1930 at the Estadio Centenario in Montevideo. The home country Uruguay met Argentina, and feelings were running high even before the match; the "big, tough, ruthless centre half"[9] "Argentinian Luis Monti received a death threat" and the referee "demanded a quick escape route plan to get back to his ship". It was Langenus who defused another potentially serious diplomatic issue when he suggested that, instead of choosing a match ball from either the hosts or the challengers (which was being hotly contested before the event), they use one ball in the first half of the Final, and switch to the other team's ball in the second half. This solution was accepted by both sides.[10] Despite all this, "Langenus refereed skilfully, completely unfazed by the masses filling the ... Stadium ... to bursting point" during the game,[11] which finished 4-2 to the hosts, even though "one of the game's most controversial incidents" was the allowing of the first Argentine goal, which some observers took to be offside.[12]
1934 World CupEdit
In the 1934 World Cup Finals, hosted by Italy, Langenus was involved in only one game, the first round match between Czechoslovakia and Romania at the Stadio Littorio in Trieste on 27 May 1934, which he refereed, and it ended in a 2–1 Czechoslovakia win.[13]
1938 World CupEdit
The only sanction of any kind which John Langenus had to issue in all his matches in charge during three World Cups was the dismissal of Germany's Hans Pesser in the 6th minute of extra time[14] during a first round match in the 1938 competition against Switzerland in the Parc des Princes, Paris, France, on 4 June 1938. After 120 minutes of play, the scoreline remained 1–1, and had to be settled by a replay five days later, the Swiss triumphing 4–2 (though Langenus did not handle the decider).[15]
On 19 June 1938, at the Parc de Lescure in Bordeaux, Langenus received his second great career honour, having been chosen to oversee the third place playoff between Brazil and Sweden.[16] By resting their tournament top scorer, Leônidas, in the semi-final, Brazil may have caused their own eventual participation in the lesser match instead of gracing the Final as expected. Leônidas scored twice for Brazil, in a 4–2 victory, to help secure third spot.[17]
Later careerEdit
Langenus later wrote three books; an autobiography, "Whistling in the World", and two other football-related works of non-fiction.[1]

The Daily Mirror's 3am.co.uk gossip site has gone from disavowing SEO and promising to concentrate on building a loyal audience – to stuffing its HTML titles with as many keywords as it can think of. And then adding some more. Before finally making sure Britney is in there.
Take this story:
- Headline: Paris is worried she's not part of the in-crowd anymore. She is 28 years old.
- Keyword-stuffed HTML title: Paris Hilton Kim Kardashian Hollywood It Girl rivalry: 3am
- Headline: Alex Reid, coming to a TV screen that you won't be watching at some indeterminate point in the future
- Title: Alex Reid Jordan Katie Price Peter Andew Bravo TV Show: 3am
And my personal favourite
- Headline: Now we're all supposed to get upset about Dermot's sick X factor jokes
- Title: X Factor Dermot O'Leary Jedward death threats Louis Walsh sexuality Britney Spears miming Never Mind The Buzzcocks: 3am
OMG! WTF! Etc.
When 3am launched, it was obvious that not much attention was being paid to SEO – and the all important title tag. In fact, one of the developers proudly told paidcontent.co.uk that:
We know full well this site won't perform brilliantly in google. And guess what? we don't care! (oooh… someone doesn't think SEO is the be all and end all .. good grief, what a shocker).
We want this site to perform well over a period of time. Not live or die by how many times we can write Britney Spears or Michael Jackson into the metadata.
And a Mirror spokesman told the NMA that:
You need to have an audience but obviously we'd prefer a loyal and engaged audience rather than chasing numbers.
New tactic: keyword stuffing the titles
That's all gone out the window it would seem.
Quick bit of background about the HTML title: It's shown in the HTML but doesn't show up on the page (although you can see it in the top bar of your browser). Most people on the 3am site won't ever notice the HTML title.
However … the HTML title is what Google uses in its results, as the screenshot shows.
And Google also pays a lot of attention to the title when deciding what a page is about – you're usually advised to ensure your relevant keywords are at the front of the title if you want to do well for SEO.
So one way to try and do better in Google's results is to ram the title full of as many keywords you can think of.
When it launched, the 3am site had taken its anti-SEO approach so far, that every page had the same title, so each page looked identical in Google's results. Now, it seems to have gone to the other extreme …
SEO, titles and personality
3am definitely had a point that concentrating on SEOing your pages can lead to bland headlines. What most sites do is set their HTML titles to be "page headline – site name" (as well as publishing umpteen stories with only small differences about the same celebrity.)
Then they write keyword-rich headlines – which can be boring and obvious, it's true.
But SEO and personality don't have to be strangers. I'm a Celebrity pages like this, this and particularly this combine good on-page SEO with useful content for readers and interesting headlines (someone tell ITV, quick). The secret is to SEO category pages – so you can concentrate on interesting headlines for individual stories.
Given all this, there is a case for small differences between headlines and HTML titles.
Using a headline like "Back and as desperate as ever" in the title is rubbish for SEO. Google can't tell who the story is about, and searchers are unlikely to click on such a keyword-light title in the results. There's a case there for tweaking the HTML title slightly to include the celebrities' names – even if it's not used in headlines or on-site links.
Google penalizes sites that stuff
But Google frowns on sites that overdo this:
"Keyword stuffing" refers to the practice of loading a webpage with keywords in an attempt to manipulate a site's ranking in Google's search results. Filling pages with keywords results in a negative user experience, and can harm your site's ranking.
So stuffing every X factor and Britney keyword you can think of in the title runs the risk of google banning your site, and is generally not a great idea. Especially when you've got on your massive high horse about not doing SEO.
Grrrr! as they say on 3am.

INDIANAPOLIS (CNS) — The Catholic response to today's widely debated societal issues — from abortion to immigration to racism — must be rooted in the church's fundamental teaching about human dignity and the "destiny of the human person," said the archbishop of Indianapolis.
In a pastoral letter addressed to the clergy, religious and lay Catholics of central and southern Indiana issued Feb. 14, Ash Wednesday, Archbishop Charles C. Thompson said he explores a number of issues widely debated in society from the perspective of Christian anthropology, which he described as "the way Christians view human dignity and the end or purpose of human society."
Catholics' response to issues such as immigration, abortion, racism, religious liberty and drug abuse, Archbishop Thompson said, should be "deeply rooted in the church's understanding of the origin, nature and destiny of the human person as revealed in Jesus Christ."
"Where we come from, who we are and where we are headed as individuals and as diverse communities of people," he noted, "determines our rights and responsibilities in human society."
"We Are One in Christ: A Pastoral Letter on Fundamentals of Christian Anthropology" is the first pastoral letter Archbishop Thompson has issued since he was installed as the shepherd of the archdiocese July 28, 2017.
The Catholic Church's Christian anthropology, he wrote in the letter, serves as the basis for its social teachings, which emphasize the equal dignity of all people as being created in the image and likeness of God. It favors helping those on the margins of society as the "the least of these, my brothers and sisters," with whom Jesus identified himself, he said quoting from Chapter 25 of St. Matthew's Gospel.
Archbishop Thompson went on to show how these teachings apply well to immigrants, migrants and refugees, who come to the U.S. seeking relief from "economic, political or religious strife."
God, he wrote, "loves them and considers them to be his precious children.
"What's more, God has challenged us to welcome them as guests, not reject them as aliens, and he has told us in no uncertain terms, 'Whatever you do to the least of these, my brothers and sisters, you do to me,'" the archbishop said, again quoting from St. Matthew's Gospel.
While acknowledging that drug abuse is "a very complex and difficult problem that is broadly and deeply embedded in our society," Archbishop Thompson wrote, "we must act in ways that are consistent with our baptismal responsibility to bring the healing power of Jesus Christ to all who suffer."
In seeking to uphold the dignity of all and to serve those on the margins of society, Archbishop Thompson wrote that maintaining the religious liberty of all is vital.
"When religious liberty is threatened or denied," he noted, "all human rights are jeopardized and the inalienable dignity of every human being is called into question. … Professing religious faith should not make a person a second-class citizen. While religion is personal, it is never private."
In concluding his letter, Archbishop Thompson wrote that "Catholic social teaching is as rich and diverse as the people it is intended to protect and defend."
"As Christians and as citizens, we can disagree about how best to apply these principles in specific situations by means of laws, regulations or public policies," he said, "but there can be no doubt that these principles are grounded in the truth about the human person as known by the light of reason and by divine revelation, especially the Gospel of Jesus Christ."
"In a spirit of solidarity and hope, may we learn to love and serve one another (even strangers and enemies) as Christ has loved us," Archbishop Thompson noted.

Published : Saturday, August 12, 2017 | 2:33 PM
A Pasadena church has announced it will hold a "vigil of prayer and solidarity against white supremacy" on Saturday night in reaction to "the evil we've seen in Charlottesville today."
All Saints Church Senior Associate Reverend Susan Russell said that church members intend to gather "in solidarity and sorrow to pray for an end to the toxin of white supremacy in our nation and for the wisdom, the resolve and the persistence to be agents of change for love, justice and compassion."
The announcement comes in reaction to the violence which erupted in Charlottesville, Va. on Saturday afternoon after hundreds of white nationalists gathered for a rally and clashed with counter-protesters, resulting in one death when a car apparently drove into a crowd.
"What happened in Charlottesville was nothing new, but it is a reminder of the depth of racial hatred in our midst and the power of white supremacy," said All Saints Rector Mike Kinman. "And yet there is a still greater power — the power of love. And today's tragic events clarify the demand love puts on us to stand up, name, confront, resist and defeat evil with love and in love's name."
Russell said the vigil will begin at 7:00 p.m. at All Saints Church, which is located at 132 North Euclid Avenue in Pasadena.

Robbie's Revenge
Robby's Revenge.
My friend Robby from San Diego told me about a anti flea formula that he made up. It worked really good. What his issue was or is, is with fleas in his cats. I guess he has a serious on going issue with fleas in the area
where he lives.I am not sure if you would want to use it on humans, but on animals, it should be good. But then again, as I say, when it comes to animals and humans.. humans are just another species of animals. So.. since it is not an
officially endorsed commercial product, it has no label and therefore any use of it is "off label use".He said that he made it up by doing research on his own and with some gut feelings to top it off. He said he sprays it on the fleas and it just dries them up and they fall off. I don't know if I would apply it to a Fido or Sylvester in the house. Maybe sneak over to the neighbors yard and apply it. Then when they fall off, you won't have to deal with the after effects (dead fleas).So here is the formula. Take a one ounce mister container, fill it 1/4 of the way with Grape Seed Carrier oil, then fill it up to the 1/2 mark with Kukui carrier oil. So the container now has 1/4 of Grape Seed carrier oil and 1/4 of Kukui
Carrier oil in it.Then add the following oils into this carrier oil mix; 10 drops of 1st. Defense, 10 drops of Black Pepper, 10 drops of Peppermint oil, 10 drops of Rose
Geranium and 10 drops of Rose oil. Shake it up and apply it to the animal. Always shake before using. It is alright if you shake yourself, as well as the bottle before using.Then you would mist it on the animal. Mist on the ears, under belly and tail. I would think that you would mist anywhere you would have the fleas present. You don't have to drown the animal in it, just a fine mist will do the job. It
wouldn't hurt to mist the animal once or twice a day over several days. By doing the mist like this, you won't over dose the animal. If you drown the animal, also known as drenching the animal, then yes, it would be over dosing, but the misting is somewhat self regulating. I have never used this mix.But as far as I am concerned, if Robby says it works, then it works. I
would think that someone would may want to tweak it for their own specific needs I see nothing wrong with adding some PDM to it or some Eucalyptus oil. But keep in mind that this is the formula that he made up and used and it worked with positive results.I was told that he put it in the old app. But he can't do it in the new app.
So there you go, Robby's Revenge.

Dear Friend,

Stress-Free Vet Visits For Dogs

Stress-Free Vet Visits For Dogs
Many pets are not fond of visiting the veterinary clinic. Let's face it. We poke, prod, handle every part of their body and then often stick them with needles. The same thing happens to me when I go to the doctor. And while I like my doctor, I do not really like needing to go to see him. This is true even though I understand why the visit is needed.
This understanding is not something veterinary patients are capable of. Therefore, we must work with everything surrounding the visit to make it less stressful, more pleasant and safer for all involved in the appointment.
For dogs, this process starts with the owners:
Dogs are very perceptive of their owner's mood and stress.
Try to make the visits pleasurable.
Try to decrease the stress of the activities surrounding the visit.
Have the kennel out and open for the dog so it becomes a safe and familiar object.
Certain scents, such as lavender or Dog Appeasing Hormone (DAP) can help calm them.
Let's not forget about general socialization.
Use tasty treats and attention to reward appropriate calm behavior.
If your veterinarian suggests techniques to make the visit less stressful, please listen.
The real key is to start young and condition the dog that veterinary visits can be fun. They do not understand that we are trying very hard to help them. They only know that they do not like what happens at the clinic.
At Bobtown Pet Clinic we use calm positive handling techniques. We use lots of tasty hot dog treats and positive attention to reward the appropriate behavior. Our hope is to make the visit as pleasant as possible so the dog remembers the good parts of the visit rather than the less pleasant aspects.
The majority of what we do in the veterinary clinic qualifies as fairly benign and nothing for pets or owners to be particularly stressed about. Recognizing this fact and training owners and pets can make the visits much more pleasant for all involved. Most of these ideas are easy and can be quite fun.
For a longer version of this article, please click here to go to our blog. You can also find information here and here.
Dog Bite Prevention
There are an estimated 4.7million people bitten by dogs every year. Most of these people are children and most know the dog that bites them. The majority of the dogs are the family pet. The majority of the bites are to the face because kids faces are at the dog's level.
There are several parts to dog bite prevention. The first starts with training puppies not to bite. However, by far the most important part is to train people/children what to do and what not to do around dogs. This includes training people about dog body language.
The Minnesota Veterinary Medical Association has created a Dog Bite Prevention Program. Dr. Lindquist has been through the course and can conduct training programs. If you have a group that would benefit from this training, please contact Bobtown Pet Clinic to schedule a seminar.
Drug Take-Back
Do you have unused or expired prescription drugs in your medicine cabinet that you need to dispose of? These need to be disposed of properly, not put in the garbage or flushed down the toilet. Medications are often not readily biodegradable and must be disposed of properly. Therefore, incineration becomes the most appropriate disposal method.
Medications must be removed from bottles and placed in sealed plastic bags (like baggies). These bags can then be dropped off at many locations. Local drop off sites include the police stations in Baldwin, Glenwood City, Hammond, Hudson, North Hudson, New Richmond, River Falls, Roberts, Somerset and Woodville. Additionally, there is a site at the St. Croix County Sheriff's office.
Further information can be obtained at http://sccwi.us/safemedsdrop or by calling 715-381-4320.
Twice a year the DEA runs a runs a National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. The next will be on April 26. In St. Croix County it will be at Family Fresh in Hudson. To give you an idea of the size of this national event, on November 6, 2013, people turned in 647,211 pounds (324 tons) of expired and unwanted medications for safe and proper disposal at the 5,638 take-bake sites.
Kitty Needs a Home
Over the past few weeks we have gotten to know Milo very well. He was surrendered for treatment and now needs a good home. He is supervising my hands very closely as I write this. I think he thinks he could type better with his 7 fingers on each front paw.
We estimate him at about 2 years of age. He has been neutered, vaccinated and dewormed. He enjoys talking with you and is very social with people. He came from a house with another cat but does not seem to like dogs.
We think he would do well as an only pet or possibly with one other cat. We do not think he would do well in a house with dogs.
If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting him, please give Bobtown Pet Clinic a call at 715-749-4006 or stop by during business hours.

Summer Smoothie Recipe Round Up
You guys! Full disclosure: I've turned into a smoothie addict on this trip (which many of you very well know from Snapchat). Literally, all restrictions have been off in the name of the summer raw smoothie. From NYC, to Florence, to Milan, I've popped into new hip raw smoothie joints and I'm obsessed!!!! I actually miss my Vitamix. Here are the recipes I'm inspired to whip up when I return that I thought fitting to share with you as well.
First, 10 smoothie hacks.
My favorite cacao smoothie recipe I made for Shiva Rose when I first launched this journal.
Nettles and berry smoothie recipe.
Ashley Neese's end of summer fig smoothie recipe.
This cacao smoothie bowl.
Meredith Baird's Breuss Juice recipe (with added chia seeds so I don't spike my blood sugar levels).
My cardamon rose lassi recipe.
Dreamy chocolate almond sundae recipe.
These dosha balancing smoothie recipes.
Beet, raspberry, and vanilla smoothie bowl recipe.
Manifestation with Lacy Phillips
My guide to the perfect day in Portland doing all of my favorite things.
For a brain booster, happiness, and balanced hormones during times of transition.
A documentary about zero waste, my favorite iron building infusion, a Native American prayer, and a few recipes to keep you inspired this weekend.
As of late, I've been deeply inspired by medicinal Chinese & Ayurvedic food and herbs due to getting deeper into my herbal studies. I was anticipating the arrival of INDIA Cookbook so much yesterday that I think I startled the UPS driver when I met him at the door. Thumbing through this dreamy cuisine bible, I've already dog-eared numerous recipes that I'm inspired to craft (while giving them an even deeper Ayurvedic twist). I present you with my newest snack/digestive aid obsession:
I crafted this smoothie recipe for one of my very active NATIVE folk clients. May it be surfing, pilates, weights or marathons, he really needed a muscle rehabilitating, nourishing and bio-available remedy after his activities. Long influenced by my friend Christine Della Cioppa of the medicinal benefits of whey for the body, especially after muscle exertion, and the restorative powers of L-glutamine, this makes for the perfect smoothie--post strenuous workout.
Every afternoon, Diana, as if she's read my mind, makes us this incredibly simple smoothie that gives us a second wind. She is one of the special souls on my deeply inspiring friend, and host, Clara's team and I am so grateful for her. We can only communicate through flying hands in the air, smiling, and a combination of my very little broken Spanish and her English. But I feel totally connected to her and her glorious energy.
Adding pearl powder, yes you heard me—ground pearls—to this smoothie is quite exciting. When meeting up with the ever-so-knowledgeable Christine Della Cioppa a couple of weeks ago, she sure took my every-couple-of-days acai, chia, banana, stevia, sprouted almond milk smoothie to another level when she made me this INCREDIBLE acai ice cream bowl and chatted about the beauty results of pearl as an herb (recipe coming very soon—it's going to blow your mind, trust me).
Nonetheless, I ran right to Erewhon and bought some pearl powder to add to this smoothie in hopes that my skin will turn as fluorescent and glowing as that of a pearl. And not only hugely beautifying, this smoothie also serves as the perfect mid-afternoon mega energy boost when you start loosing steam. The bee pollen and acai will keep you buzzing for hours!

As a boy I remember being taught a nursery rhyme with hand motions that would go, "Here is the church, here is the steeple. Open the doors, and there is all the people!" Perhaps you remember it also. I was thinking of it as I considered how so often we still get wrapped up in the belief that the church is found in a building; more particularly, a building with specific structures such as the steeple, doors, and the walls that closed in all the people. I knew that the church was meant to be the people themselves and yet the message was always there, unspoken but never the less communicated, the church was closed into the building structure. I longed for something more; I longed to go beyond the edge!
Several months ago, a group of leaders in the Edge got together for our monthly supper to share stories of God's work in our tribes, the struggles we have faced over our history, and the amazing successes and impacts we have experienced in being a part of God's mission. Listening to the stories of my fellow Edge leaders and knowing the hearts and minds of those that could not be there that evening, I realized that I was not alone in this longing to go beyond the edge of the institutional church. Each of us desired something more from being a part of the church and as we told our stories, as my brother Rod would point out later, we found a bigger narrative to which we were a part; one that showed The Edge as sojourning in "relationships, brought about by compassion and trust, and inspired by our Lord."
Over the next series of posts we will explore some of those stories, seek what it might reveal about God, learn what it says about The Edge, and finally ask what historical, theological, and missiological themes we might find in them. I look forward to the conversations these thoughts might inspire!

Finding Applicants Who Plagerize The most challenging piece of the common application for the vast majority of the college applicants we work with is the personal statement. They hem, they haw, they look at us plaintively for help, and they dread typing those 500 words. (Yes, the personal statement asks for "250 words, minimum, but 500 feels about right for most essays). So, this piece about the increasing incidences of plagerism admissions officers are finding is disheartening, but comes as no surprise. Using someone else's essay as your own certainly takes the pain out of the writing process.
I find that working with our clients on their personal statements is one of my favorite parts of the entire college process. It is an opportunity for the student to reflect on their lives, evaluate their accomplishments, consider their values, and take stock of what they have accomplished in their 17 years and consider where they are headed. However, getting students to clearly and succintly and to articulate these ideas is a challenge. Over the next few weeks we will be blogging about some of the strategies we use to help our clients move past their writer's block and will be giving some tips about how to write a powerful, revealing, compelling personal statement - in your own words.

On January 18th I started to play all of Billy Joel's albums in chronological order. Here's my thoughts on the first two.
January 18, 2013:
I started a Billy Joel marathon today. I'm going to listen to all his stuff in chronological order. Today I listened to Cold Spring Harbor, his 1971 debut album. The standout track for me is Everybody Loves You Now. I'll keep you posted after each album...
January 19, 2013:
Second album by Billy Joel was the career changing Piano Man, released in November 1973. I finished it yesterday and you might think the title track would be stuck in my mind but it's not. Instead I keep going back to "Worse Comes To Worst", mostly because of the great (okay slightly cheesy but still great) guitar opening from Larry Carlton. Yes, the one and only Larry Carlton was the guitarist on the whole album. Awesome musician.
Anyway, there's a lot of great material on this album, including "Billy The Kid" which features excellent work by the french horns and string section, the beautiful "You're My Home" which ranks up there as one of Billy's best ballads, and the surprisingly enjoyable "Travelin' Prayer". I say surprising because it features more banjo than I normally like in a song but it's a fun song which builds nicely, adding parts gradually.
All in all, it's an album I should listen to more often. Next up is Streetlife Serenade, released a year after Piano Man. Update later or tomorrow.

We specialise in search engine optimisation for small businesses, this means that Google pretty much runs our life. And we often see businesses plough valuable time and effort into keeping up with their Facebook and Twitter counterparts, and spend little or no time on Google+
– Think about it! It's Google, so ignore it at your peril!
Our lives revolve around keeping up with Google algorithm changes and Google+ Local's latest and greatest ideas affecting our clients.
Because we focus a lot on Google SEO, we need to explain to our clients why their presence on Google+ is so important. People outside the industry tend to think it's just another social network (and one that no one is using). This is far from the truth, and people are catching on to this, including your competitors.
Investing even a little bit of time and energy into your business page on Google+ can mean improved local search visibility, especially for a small to medium-sized business.
With search engine algorithms constantly evolving and becoming more intertwined with social media, where SEO stops and social begins is becoming blurrier by the day.
Google Search Visibility
Anyone who has something to sell would be crazy to pass up an opportunity to get their brand in front of qualified leads. Search engine optimisation is all about getting your website found by your potential customers, and Google's got the majority of the market share when it comes to search. In Summer 2014, Google launched "Google My Business" to consolidate into one easy-to-use dashboard so that small businesses can upload information, graphics and even video to their potential customers.
Since the introduction of Google+ Local, managing local listings and content across Google properties has confused many local SEOs and local business owners alike. Now Google has launched a new, integrated approach called Google My Business.
The core idea is to make it "easier than ever to update business information across Google Search, Maps and Google+."
Think of it as a kind of rudimentary CRM platform for small businesses (SMEs).
We think that this represents an impressive new commitment (or re-commitment) to local and the SME market by Google.
Google is trying to streamline and make clearer the process of managing local business data, reviews and social interactions across its many sites. Google calls it "a free and easy way to find and connect with your people, wherever you are" (see video below).

Week 4 6A-II Roundup/
By: Scott Emigh, Editor-in-Chief
#1 Charles Page (2-1, 0-1) District 1
#5 Bartlesville (4-0, 1-0) District 1
The Sandites were on fire in the first three games of the season, but were no match for their district-opening matchup against Bartlesville. In years past, the Sandites have lost games due to sloppy mistakes and inconsistency. This was not one of those games. CPHS gave a solid performance on all fronts that would have been a beat down on any other team. Bartlesville was reported to have the best offense in the state going into the game; the Sandites are known to have the best defense. The Bruin defense, however, was grossly underestimated, putting up major stops against the Sandites through the whole game and held them to only 7 first downs.
My pick was CPHS 46, BHS 35.
The final score was BHS 24, CPHS 7.
#2 Bixby (3-1, 1-0) District 1
#10 Claremore (2-2, 0-1) District 1
Bixby has been the team to beat this season, and it looked like Claremore might actually pull it off. The Spartans were without their star running back, Nic Roller, and leading receiver, Cade Cabbiness. The Red Zebras not only kept neck-and-neck with the defending state champions, but even lead 24-21 midway through the third, before the Spartans found their mojo and scored 23 unanswered points to end the game.
My pick was Bixby 52, Claremore 3.
The final score was Bixby 47, Claremore 27.
#3 Booker T Washington (3-0, 1-0) District 1
#9 Ponca City (1-2, 0-1) District 1
The BTW Hornets rained hellfire down on the Wildcats, ruining their homecoming and bringing a total slaughter. The home team managed only nine first downs for one touchdown, while their visitors accumulated nearly 500 yards of total offense for their best score of the season.
My pick was BTW 42, Ponca 13.
The final score was BTW 68, Ponca 7.
#4 Midwest City (3-1, 1-0) District 2
#14 Eisenhower (0-4, 0-1) District 2
The MWC Bombers easily dominated Lawton Ike, taking a 22-0 lead before the game was stalled for an hour due to lightening. It's unfortunate for the Eagles that the game wasn't cancelled all-together.
My pick was MWC 28, Ike 6.
The final score was MWC 47, Ike 8.
#6 Choctaw (3-1, 1-0) District 2
#12 Enid (0-4, 0-0) District 2
Enid fared better than expected against the Chcotaw Yellowjackets than I expected them to, but were still unable to break their season-long losing streak. Darian Groins threw for three touchdowns and at one point closed the gap to 23-21 before the visitors pulled away for the win.
My pick was Choctaw 38, Enid 12.
The final score was Choctaw 37, Enid 28.
#7 Muskogee (1-3, 1-0) District 1
#13 Sapulpa (1-2, 0-1) District 1
The Rougers finally registered their first win of the season in a district opener at Sapulpa's homecoming. Sapulpan Senior Tom Schadel suffered a broken leg that will sideline him for the season, along with Trey Bilby who broke his in week 1. The Chieftains scored first on a 24 yard run by Dae Williams, but Muskogee returned 34 straight points before Williams found the endzone again.
My pick was Muskogee 35, Sapulpa 12.
The final score was Muskogee 41, Sapulpa 29.
#8 Putnam City West (1-3, 0-1) District 2
#11 Lawton (2-1, 1-0) District 2
PCW has been on the rebound as a team from previous awful years, and managed to stay neck and neck with the Wolverines in a first quarter shootout, but after Lawton's Levi Cain picked off a pass from Trey Gooch, there was no stopping them from reasserting themselves as a dominant power in District 2 after a rocky start to the season.
My pick was PCW 31, Lawton 28.
The final score was Lawton 57, PCW 20.
#15 Stillwater (1-3, 0-0) District 2
Stillwater was the only team not to start distrcit play this week, instead taking on U.S. Grant for Homecoming. Both teams entered the game win-less, but Stillwater asserted themselves as the dominant force early on and hopes to ride that momentum into district play next week.
My pick was Stillwater 29, Grant 14.
The final score was Stillwater 49, Grant 6.
My Record
- Week 1: 10-2 (.833)
- Week 2: 12-2 (.857)
- Week 3: 6-3 (.666)
- Week 4: 6-2 (.750)
- Overall: 34-9 (.790)

On Dec. 13 the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District Board of Trustees officially announced that J.R. Reynolds will take over the role of head football coach of the Paso Robles Bearcats. Reynolds has held the interim title since week two of the football season after previous head coach Larry Grant and the PRJUSD decided to part ways.
Reynolds graduated from Paso Robles High School in 2008 and has been working as a coach for the Bearcats for years. Reynolds has worked with the freshman teams, lead the junior varsity to
The Paso Robles Press was able to catch up with coach Reynolds and ask him some questions about coaching for his alma mater and what it means to him.
Paso Robles Press: When you started coaching for the Bearcats was it always a goal of yours to take over as the Head Coach of the varsity team?
Reynolds: "Yeah, it has always been a dream of mine since I graduated high school and I didn't want to do it anywhere else. I mean, this is my community, and this is where I've always wanted to be, so yeah, it was the dream the whole time."
PRP: How cool is it to be coaching the same uniform you used to wear? You are uniquely qualified to know what these kids are going through because you walked through the same hallways and you heard the same chants from the sidelines, I guess my question is what is it like to be able to go through that with your guys knowing you've been there?
Reynolds: "I don't know what the words are still but the opportunity to do it at the only place that I've ever wanted to be head coach, my alma mater and with those kids I've been with since they came into high school, it's really exciting to be a member of the community and to know what those kids are dealing with and what it's like to play under those lights at War Memorial where it is so special. It's an experience you don't get a lot of other places with getting that community support, having the school support and getting to play in front of that many people in a community like Paso Robles is special."
PRP: So now that you are officially the head coach what is the next step as you head into your first offseason?
Reynolds: "Well, we are working in the weight room, we are out supporting our teammates who are out playing winter sports whether that be wrestling, basketball or soccer and as a staff, we are kind of focusing on growing and the learning aspect. We are going to get out and go to some clinic stuff and stuff like that too, you know, better ourselves in the offseason but at the same time you know we are going to be in the weight room getting better and getting stronger. We have a lot of players playing multiple sports which is what we want, they are getting better and competing at all times."
PRP: Are there any guys getting looks in the offseason?
Reynolds: "Yes we have some guys that are going through the recruiting process right now. We have had some schools come in and we are just trying to give our guys some opportunities to play at the next level and there are some real opportunities there."

"Born and Raised"
Infamy has its uses, and atonement has its limits. John Mayer, who has come to grips with at least one of those truths, doesn't want to seem ungracious in the face of judgment. He wants you to know that he's his own harshest critic, even if he can't help saving a piece of justification for himself. Over the last two years, anyway, in the wake of a self-damaging round of publicity and a corresponding shudder of contrition, he has plumbed the depths of his broken soul, returning with lessons in song.
So goes the irresistible subtext of "Born and Raised," Mr. Mayer's fifth studio album, a precious gift wrapped in burlap and baling twine. As palatably sure-footed as anything in his multimillion-selling catalog, the album — which he produced with Don Was, a veteran rock 'n' roll ego whisperer — nonetheless reflects a shrewd adjustment, swapping out his usual airtight gleam for a touch of confessional Laurel Canyon folk-rock. The opening track, "Queen of California," name-checks early 1970s landmarks by Neil Young and Joni Mitchell over an easeful groove cribbed from the Grateful Dead. The title track, about owning up to the passage of time, has new background vocals by David Crosby and Graham Nash.
This is an album of dual impulse, in other words, an attempt to turn back the clock while moving forward. "If I Ever Get Around to Living," another Dead-evoking tune, paints an image of Mr. Mayer's 17-year-old self, dreaming and hopeful, as-yet unmarked by tattoos or TMZ. "I think you better wise up, boy," he sings during the fade-out, and it's unclear whether he's admonishing his younger self or his current one.
Elsewhere he leaves no such uncertainty. "The stage was set, the words were mine/I'm not complaining," he quavers softly in "Whiskey, Whiskey, Whiskey," a patently Mayeresque ballad. "The Age of Worry" mines similar territory: "Know your fight is not with them/Yours is with your time here." And the album's gently twangy lead single, "Shadow Days," has been widely construed as a response to the country-pop star Taylor Swift and her indignant anthem "Dear John."
The meta-narrative may be heavy-handed, but it anchors the songs convincingly. Maybe Mr. Mayer didn't really set out to make his version of a Ryan Adams album, but it suits him at this moment, even when he lodges a curmudgeonly critique of the modern musical landscape, as on "Speak for Me." (Wait, could that be another rejoinder to Ms. Swift, who used "Speak Now" as her most recent album title? I don't know. Calm yourself.)
One of the strangest and most affecting songs here is "Walt Grace's Submarine Test, January 1967," about a basement tinkerer who set off in a homemade submersible despite the advice of everyone close to him. Mr. Mayer unravels the tale dispassionately, though it's not hard to see his investment in it: the solitude, the skepticism, the perilous depths. And eventually, against long odds, coming up for a new lungful of air. NATE CHINENContinue reading the main story
"Listen Up!"
The signature shift in the post-Cowell era of "American Idol" is the show's long-overdue reckoning with the marketplace. With Jimmy Iovine, the chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M, as a mentor on the show, guiding contestants each week and underscoring their most appealing qualities while aiming to bang out their idiosyncratic dents, "Idol" is as primed as it probably can be to build a modern pop star.
Last year, when Haley Reinhart climbed her way to third on the show's 10th season, she appeared to be anything but that. A gritty rock belter with an outsized voice that felt as if it needed boundaries, she often looked uncomfortable and unnatural onstage and uncertain about why pushing her voice to extremes wasn't always the right idea.
If Ms. Reinhart is still overexerting herself on "Listen Up!," her debut album, you can't tell. "Listen Up!" is all shape, all fixed-data points for Ms. Reinhart to adhere to — a taut album full of meaty, thickly arranged pop-soul that suits her booming voice extremely well.
Ms. Reinhart still isn't a pop star, but that's fine. Produced primarily by Rob Kleiner and busbee, these songs hark back to the 1960s and '70s, when Motown girl groups were ceding ground to soul-driven rock. It's singers' territory that shows off both the smooth power of Ms. Reinhart's voice and its engine-revving churn. She lingers elegantly over notes at the end of lines, as on "Now That You're Here," and can tighten up into a growl when needed, as on "Liar."
In contemporary pop terms, this is territory staked out by the likes of Bruno Mars, and the long shadow of Amy Winehouse hangs over the more wrenching soul numbers like "Wasted Tears" and "Oh My!," on which Ms. Reinhart sounds comfortable, even flirty. That song is saddled with a nonsensical verse from the toothless rapper B.o.B, an absurd concession to the times and the only glaring misstep here.
On "Hit the Ground Runnin'," Ms. Reinhart easily channels the Supremes, blending melody and sass:
If you think that I'm sweet
Sugar in your teeth
You better watch your mouth, boy
'Cause I don't miss a beat
And you don't know a thing about me.
It's convincing and fresh. In a sense, this is what Cowell's "Idol" had long been advocating — a return to standards and classic pop modes. It's unfashionable and a bit out of touch, and what a smart thing that turns out to be. JON CARAMANICA
Initial Here
(Greenleaf Music)
Casual listeners to jazz who might not tune into big differences between bass players would notice Linda Oh.
Her music leans forward at you. She has a percussive touch, graceful and sometimes aggressive, and she likes playing fast, walking or soloing or delivering a jagged ostinato. She's justifying the role of bassist as bandleader, starting the tunes, pushing the band, delivering clean, strong rhythm and melody.
Two years ago she made "Entry," an album for bass, trumpet and drums. It was a feat, and a narrowly focused one. On her second album, "Initial Here," released by Dave Douglas's label, Greenleaf Music, she shows more resources of harmony, instrumentation and repertory, greater variety all over.
The new album comes with a new band: a quartet that includes the pianist Fabian Almazan, the tenor saxophonist Dayna Stephens and the drummer Rudy Royston. The album works on a few different levels. In two covers — one a fast-swing gloss on joined melodies from Bernstein's "Something's Coming" and Stravinsky's "Cinq Doigts," the other a slow, respectful version of Ellington's "Come Sunday" — Ms. Oh shows her connection to jazz's traditions, its music and its methodology. In much of the rest, she's asserting newness.
Fast or slow, this band devours its music. From drums, piano and bass come a clean, hyper-alert precision, with extra fills and fractured funk and rhythms within rhythms. (Ms. Oh plays electric bass on a couple of tracks, not much differently from how she plays acoustic, full of melodic improvising.) It can get relentless and overgrown. Sometimes it needs to be rescued from virtuosity, and Mr. Stephens does it. He's a soft-toned player who knows when to intimate or play long tones or stop playing altogether: an older soul. He's got some Wayne Shorter mystery in him.
The exception to all of the above is "Thicker Than Water." It's not a quartet piece and isn't really jazz. It's an art song involving the vocalist Jen Shyu, who sings in Mandarin, English and wordless syllables. It feels significant, not just for language reasons, but also for the wholeness of feeling Ms. Shyu brings to it, and because the rest of the music consists of Ms. Oh playing bassoon and multitracked bowed basses. It's a whole other possible direction, a guarantor that Ms. Oh has a lot more to say. BEN RATLIFFContinue reading the main story

There's a growing buzz about whether or not U.S. farmland prices will be the next asset bubble to burst. But despite all the talk about the commercial real estate market and how it's under pressure, when you look at farm real estate it has really held up, even increasing fairly rapidly over the last couple of years.
Characterizing the current farm real estate scenario as a "bubble" may be off the mark, according to John Anderson, an economist with the American Farm Bureau Federation.
"I think it makes sense to define a bubble as prices for an asset that are just too high and not really justified by market fundamentals. If you look at farmland, there are some pretty strong fundamentals in the farm real estate market. Commodity prices are historically quite high and interest rates are very low and those are both factors that provide a lot of strong support for farm real estate values," Anderson said.
Gary Schnitkey, a University of Illinois agricultural economist, released a paper Tuesday in which he states that farmland price declines are not likely in the near future.
"Before a large farmland price decline will occur, farmland returns likely will have to decrease or interest rates will have to increase. Either could occur, but neither seems likely in the near future," Schnitkey wrote in his paper entitled Farmland Price Outlook: Are Farmland Prices Too High Relative to Returns and Interest Rates?

Vikings RB Latavius Murray plans to push Dalvin Cook for starting RB job
The Minnesota Vikings' running back situation seems pretty straightforward. Barring any setbacks from his recovery from a torn ACL, Dalvin Cook looks set to assume the mantle of the team's starting running back with veteran Latavius Murray backing him up.
However, Murray is not about to just allow last year's second-round pick to get comfortable with that starting job. Instead, he intends to compete with the youngster in hopes of possibly earning the job for himself.
"We're here to compete against each other and that's what I'm going to do,'' Murray said of continuing to push Cook for the starting job per Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press. "I'm going to leave it up to the coaches to make that decision who plays or whatever but we both want to compete and make each other better and help this team win.''
Murray made his intention to push Cook hard loud and clear with his impressive performance in the team's preseason opener against the Denver Broncos. While Cook was given the game off, Murray picked up 43 yards on just four carries, including a couple of 21-yard runs.
Murray proved in Cook's absence last season that he's at least capable of being a productive workhorse back. In 16 games (11 starts) last season, he had 842 yards and eight touchdowns. He will have his work cut out for him to overtake Cook in the minds of the coaches this year. But if he churns out more performances like he had against the Broncos, he'll at least give them something to think about.

As a geek to the highest order,it wasn't so long ago,in a galaxy far,far, away… that I had to be sequestered in the proverbial nerd closet.
Whether it be from stupidity, naivete or…heck ,who am I kidding, I was kinda ashamed and embarrassed.
But as it has been said "The Geeks shall inherit the Earth"!!!
And Larry Longstreth humorous indie film "The Long,Slow Death of a Twenty-Something" embraces that quote to the Nth degree!!!
Here's a quick synopsis:
Ben Baker is a mediocre person at a mediocre job and spends most of his time drinking,smoking pot and playing video games and Dungeons & Dragons.All is well,until a rather unexpected thing happens to him and everyone he knows…"big"3-0″.
Is this familiar to anyone here?…Bueller?…Bueller?
Heck, I raise my hand up wholeheartedly!!!
For the most part ,(writer/director/star) Longstreth takes the viewer on a journey that most individuals in geekdom have taken or are about to take…if they are to fulfil their ultimate quest of…THE RING OF IMMORTALITY!!!..actually it's ring of doom called…ADULTHOOD!!!(without losing your self-respect and all your action figures that are in mint condition and still in the box).
The writing and directing at times is clever and actually out-"CLERKS","CLERKS"!
Longstreth as our hero ,plays "Ben" as an every-geek who ultimately has one Chuck Taylor in Responsibility-ville and the other firmly placed in Geekatopia.The third act of the film is funny and heartwarming.
With a fun soundtrack from "The Black Keys" drummer,Patrick Carney to ever-watchful "Eye of Sauron"Producer of The Lord of The Rings Trilogy, Mark Ordesky…
Larry Longstreth's "The Long Slow Death of a Twenty-Something" is a coming of age flick(30 to be exact)that is witty yet surprisingly endearing.
The DVD is available for preorder at BESTBUY and AMAZON
'til next time Cabrones!!!

Market Report: More people working in construction jobs in February
Ferndale is having a very busy start to the construction season, according to building permits filed with the city.
Building permit valuations have totaled $8.6 million in the first quarter, up $4 million compared to the first quarter of 2014.
Combined with the strong start in Bellingham and unincorporated areas of Whatcom County, it's translated into more construction jobs. The 6,600 people employed in construction last month was the highest monthly total since November 2013.
Here are the trends:

Retreat November 9-11, 2018
Roots Retreat November Theme:
Remembering. Renewing. Reconnecting.
Joy and woe are woven fine,
A clothing for the soul divine,
Under every grief and pine,
Runs a joy with silken twine.
It is right it should be so,
We were made for joy and woe,
And when this we rightly know,
Through the world we safely go.
The War Within
Some say it's a battle...
Joy and Woe
Good and Evil
Dark and Light
Right and Wrong
Love and Hate
Love and Love
Missing The Mark and Hitting the Mark
I say it's an opportunity to Reflect.
All of it.
It's about Remembering
and Overcoming all of That.
Resolving all of That.
It felt like loss and chaos and a mess.
It felt like loneliness and sadness.
It felt like a Renewal of the mind wasn't possible.
And it was. And it is.
We will Remember and Reflect on all of that, and turn it into something to grow from.
We will Renew our souls and strengthen their track.
We will Reconnect with our faith and belief systems (whatever that is for you) and find courage here to tap into this place.
This is what this retreat will cover, and what Jill Drader will teach.
We will share experiences together in a safe place.
We will share our strengths, hopes, joys and challenges as we workshop through what you're ready to surrender.
We will grow together in community.
We will nourish our bodies and souls with slow cooked plant-based meals eaten together.
We will exercise our spiritual and mental fitness with hiking and guided meditations. (*no previous experience necessary)
You will leave with not only a new journal filled with healthy transformations, goals, desires and a new way to serve, and also a deeper understanding of who you are.
Who is this retreat for?
Women who are looking for a getaway and desiring to spend some time reflecting on where you're at, what you want, what you're willing to shift, and those looking to rest and retreat. While these retreats were for women in recovery in the past, I have shifted the offerings and these are for women, any women any where. Women like you who have come and desire rest or a retreat, time away from family or partners, those women who have overcome or are living with cancer or other diseases, those who have overcome addictions, have experienced loss or are experiencing grief, and those just wanting to getaway and make some new connections this weekend!
This retreat is not for you if you think you need detox and can't be away from drugs or alcohol for a weekend, you think this will 'fix' you in a weekend, you're not willing to shift anything, you're closed minded, or you're wanting to stay stuck!
Where is it?
In a private retreat centre we will meet for a 3-day Women's Only Retreat.
Field, BC (2.5 hours west of Calgary, 25km west of Lake Louise)
*Photos above are from a private 1:1 retreat in November 2017*
How much?
This retreat is $450 (Regular $600) and is all inclusive. Your accommodation, meals, beverages, snacks, workshops, and meditation classes are included. All of our retreats are drug and alcohol free. The town of Field has some small businesses (pottery, jewelry, souvenir, coffee) you can support if you want to bring some extra monies.
This retreat is facilitated by me, Jill Drader – I am a retreating advocate, a speaker, a workshop creator and facilitator, an addiction counselor, and an entrepreneur.
I created these retreats when I needed to recover from life - you know, life! I was dealing with loss, deaths, grief, changes in careers, motherhood, and living life in recovery free from my past addictions. As a couple friends from the west coast say, 'we are all recovering from something'.
Through the 12 retreats I ran the last few years, I found retreat and healing in the forest around Field and at Emerald Lake. I would love for you to join me to experience it for yourself. People have joined me who are recovering from addictions, recovering from diseases or cancers, recovering from change/loss, recovering from a tough year, recovering from divorce or separation, recovering from grief, and more.
I also customize private 1:1 workshops/retreats, and nature based leadership retreats for teams and corporations.
*References available upon request.
Questions? Email me email@example.com or use the contact form below.
A retreat centre? Is it nice?
Yes. It's a family owned and operated luxury hostel. Each room has co-sleeping bunks and the beds are made with cozy animal free duvets, soft sheets and cozy pillows. Each room has a mountain view. Four people share a room and each has their own bed. We also use the Parks Canada community centre beside the hostel for our yoga classes and group sessions.
What do I bring?
Cozy clothes (lounge/yoga/hike), a wind/rain/snow jacket and pants, shoes or boots you can walk in, a toque and gloves, an open heart, a yoga mat if you have one, a blanket to stay cozy during workshops, and desire to be better when you leave than when you arrived.
It might be snowing, it might not. It might be raining, it might not. Bring jackets and pants and footwear you're ok wearing to hike in below zero weather and that is water repellant.
Do I need to bring my own food?
No, we fully cater the meals. The meals will be plant based and we will try to source as much local food as possible. If you want your own snacks, you are welcome to bring them. We will have water, coffee and teas to drink. If you have allergies we will work with you and get you your own meals.
How do I get there?
You can drive yourself or ask to arrange a carpool.
Are payment plans available?
Yes, of course! You can arrange with Jill how you're able to pay.
You can pay by e-transfer, or by Credit Card.
**Payments are non-refundable 30-days before retreat start date, but are transferable to another retreat within one year from date of purchase**
What if I have other questions? What if I don't know if this is right for me?
Email Jill at email@example.com and set up a call to discuss.
