It was March 18, , in the rebel-held Eastern Ghouta enclave near Damascus. . Zahran Alloush (C) delivers a speech during a meeting in the eastern The pro-opposition Syrian American Medical Society counted some subterranean roads, large enough to drive a car under the front line.
A witness described how Republican Guard soldiers fired on demonstrators in Kisenso neighborhood on December 20, soon after UN peacekeepers drove by: Just after they passed, Republican Guard soldiers stormed into the neighborhood and began firing live bullets to chase the demonstrators who fled into houses to take cover. I was looking out from the window of my home. I got really scared. He was bleeding terribly. His family found his body three days later in one of the morgues, after having searched for him in prisons and hospitals across the city.
The Republican Guard soldiers had been deployed in our neighborhood since the day before [December 19]. Then that morning, as the protests were happening, they started harassing the population, stealing phones, watches, and other valuables from people in the neighborhood.
When a man resisted as the soldiers tried to steal his phone, the soldiers started firing their guns. My son, who had gone out to buy bread, was hit by a bullet in the forehead, and he died on the spot. My son was eating breakfast on the corner of the avenue. Then at about 10 a. My son was hit by a bullet in his right leg. He later died of his wounds. Beni was finally released on January 11, after 29 days of secret detention in Kinshasa, first at the military camp and later at an intelligence agency detention center.
Sengha later said that she had been thrown into a car, blindfolded and beaten. We will kill you, since you want to make Kabila leave [power].
She received little food and water until her release on December Tshibanda was released on February 8, Security forces arrested him and his colleagues after they had apprehended three men who, according to Diongo, were Republican Guard soldiers wearing civilian clothes.
Diongo said he feared they had been sent to attack him. According to Diongo and his lawyers, this amounted to torture. One of the people with me in the taxi pointed a gun at me, before putting a hood over my head. They then brought me to a house where they interrogated me about my origins.
They eventually let me go and told me to stop writing articles that upset the authorities and to stop saying things that annoy them.
Republican Guard and army soldiers fired on protesters, some of whom threw rocks at security forces and looted or set fire to police offices and cars, ambulances, trucks, and other buildings in Gecamines, Kisanga, and Katuba neighborhoods.
In total, security forces fatally shot at least 16 protesters and wounded 40 others. Protesters had erected barricades along the road. The police shot in the air to try to disperse them. I myself saw six dead bodies while I was trying to flee. A young man I knew was shot in his throat and died on the spot.
This angered the crowd of protesters who then set the Katuba courthouse on fire. The soldiers first fired in the air to disperse the looters at the hospital. As the looters fled into the surrounding neighborhood, the soldiers followed them. Hearing the gunshots nearby, the mechanic, who was with a client, decided to go home. Despite this, they shot him in the head. The soldiers then took his body and brought it to one of the public morgues. Just after that, we started hearing gunshots. People were fleeing in all directions.
Some people ran towards us and said that [my brother-in-law] was shot. My husband got the courage to search for him, but in vain. We later learned that soldiers had taken his body to the morgue. This seems to have had an important deterrent effect in preventing large-scale protests from going forward on December They were released on December 28, with no charges brought against them.
They were arrested in the presence of a team of UN human rights observers and transferred to the police intelligence prison. The human rights observers were later denied access to them. They distribute food to us — just a large bowl of beans — once every other week.
Most people here sleep on the floor. The situation is really appalling. They were released on December An international journalist observing the protest was detained for several hours. Several witnesses said that they heard soldiers tell the protesters: Here, we will exterminate you one by one.
Many of those targeted had not participated in the protests, but were hiding in homes, seeking shelter from the gunfire. Some of those targeted were taking advantage of the chaos to loot in Kalamu neighborhood. One resident said that his wife was killed on December 20 when a soldier followed her to the house where she had taken shelter, to flee the soldiers who were firing on protesters in their neighborhood: My wife was inside [the house], and the soldier arrived soon after.
He first fired warning shots and demanded that the door be opened. The owner of the house refused to obey. The soldier then counted out loud to three, and then he fired two shots into the house. One of the bullets hit my wife in the head. My son was shot by a bullet in the head. As he fell down, I immediately bent down.

A bullet then passed right above my head and hit the window. If I had remained standing, I too would have been killed. This soldier aimed and fired at us with the intention of killing us. My son has now left [the world] just like that, for no reason at all. They also conducted door-to-door searches in Mvuzi and Nzanza neighborhoods, arresting several people. Some protesters engaged in looting.
A woman said that her grandson was killed during the protests on December My grandson went out about 9 a. Local civil society activists reported that many were mistreated in detention.
They were released the following day. Six of them were released the next day while two others, Jean-Paul Mualaba Biaya and Nicolas Mbiya Kabeya, were eventually acquitted on February 1,and then released. They were released the same day. The person responsible for each group was given a revolver.
The same day, in Lubumbashi, protesters ransacked or burned several government buildings, including health and environment ministry offices, a courthouse, police stations, and a local administration office.
In Boma, protesters in the Kalamu neighborhood looted or ransacked shops, including some owned by individuals linked to government officials, Chinese-owned shops China is perceived as a close ally of Kabilaand government buildings in Kalamu neighborhood.
In Matadi, protesters also looted privately owned shops, while others clashed with security forces. At least 10 police officers were injured by stones that were thrown by protesters, and one soldier had a broken leg after being attacked by a machete, apparently to avenge the death of a protester who had been killed by the security forces.

Bosco Ntaganda, who is now on trial at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, where he faces 18 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity charges.
The CNDP had purportedly been established to defend, protect, and ensure political representation for the several hundred thousand Congolese Tutsi living in eastern Congo, and several tens of thousands of Congolese refugees, most of them Tutsi, living in Rwanda.
Over the years, many former commanders and individuals close to the various Rwandan-backed rebellions have been given senior posts in the Congolese security forces and government.
International attention on the crisis grew when the M23 seized the main eastern city of Goma in late Novemberagain with significant Rwandan military support.
The M23 withdrew from Goma on December 1, when the Congolese government agreed to peace talks. The signatories — including Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda — agreed not to interfere in the internal affairs of neighboring countries; not to tolerate or provide support of any kind to armed groups; neither to harbor nor provide protection of any kind to anyone accused of war crimes, crimes against humanity, acts of genocide or crimes of aggression, or anyone falling under the UN sanctions regime; and to cooperate with regional justice initiatives.
Most were eventually released, but not all. Abu Ali Khibbiyeh, a prominent anti-Islamist leader who had been fighting to keep Alloush off his turf and out of his smuggling business, was convicted in a secret tribunal of trading in narcotics, collaborating with the Islamic State and the Assad regime, and being a homosexual.
Through winter and spring —15, Alloush proceeded to root out the Eastern Ghouta wing of the Islamic State, while press-ganging a series of small rebel groups into the ranks of the Islam Army, already several thousand strong. In Februarythe Unified Military Command decreed a ban on the creation of new rebel groups in the Eastern Ghouta, which put a lid on rebel fragmentation and helped the insurgency to congeal around its four main factions: The consolidation of opposition forces came at an opportune time.
Prisoners in their enclave, they struggled to cope with the mounting costs of the siege. Prices of basic goods rose sharply through In Marcha bag of flat bread, which is a staple food in Syria, could be bought for the state-regulated price of 35 Syrian pounds in Damascus about 12 cents but reportedly sold for close to Syrian pounds in the Eastern Ghouta.
Hunger spread, and at times starvation was near, but it was the shortage of medicines and hospital equipment that seemed the most lethal threat. Though it was at times very harshly enforced, the blockade on the Eastern Ghouta was never airtight.
It sometimes seemed designed to be leaky, and while always strict enough to cause shortages, it was also porous enough to create markets where shrewd middlemen could thrive.
Much like in the Gaza Strip, the blockade served to empower a new class of siege-busting smugglers who found ways to move goods across the front lines, often by working with regime commanders. Rebels and smugglers entered into a symbiotic relationship, incentivizing corruption and competition among the insurgents—a threat to your smuggling profits was also a threat to your military posture. The Syrian regime eagerly exploited its newfound leverage.
It would sometimes choke off the enclave entirely, which sent prices skyrocketing. Then it would allow deliveries through a particular checkpoint, either to reward behavior or simply to collect bribes. On their side of the checkpoints, the rebel leaders jockeyed for control and were drawn into murky deals with their counterparts on the regime side and with each other, which slowly fused the insurgency and the siege economy into an inseparable whole.
It was demoralizing, and it did much to fuel tension in the enclave.
"Special Mission"
War-weary and hungry civilians bristled at the sight of ostentatiously pious Islamist leaders who hoarded food, money and fuel for their own use—and, in some cases, for profit. At some point inthe Syrian government had opened a checkpoint there to allow a Ghouta-born businessman with friends in the presidential palace to bring in food, alongside a small-scale trade in other goods.
Though the Islam Army jealously guarded its control over the crossing, it denied making any money off of the Wafideen-Douma trade. For all its economic and political importance, however, the Wafideen Crossing mainly brought in food and other civilian items, like cigarettes. To get hold of guns, ammunition, fuel, medicine and other banned or undersupplied goods, and to smuggle people in or out of the enclave, the rebels had to find other ways.
Rebel fighters, reportedly belonging to the Faylaq al-Rahman brigade, wait in a concrete pipe during an operation in the area of Marj al-Sultan's military airport, three days after it was recaptured by the Syrian troops, on December 17, in the rebel-held region of Eastern Ghouta, on the outskirts of the Syrian capital Damascus. Getty In earlythe Syrian army had forced the eastern Damascus suburbs of Barzeh and Qaboun to sign separate truce deals. Local fighters remained in charge of their neighborhoods, and both areas remained under siege, but civilian traffic and trade resumed through a maze of regime and rebel checkpoints.
Almost immediately, Barzeh and Qaboun transformed into transit depots for the Eastern Ghouta by way of tunnels reaching into the rebel-controlled suburbs. Rebel-connected entrepreneurs turned the tunnels—originally dug for military and logistical purposes—into a business, hiring unemployed local men to do the dangerous underground work. Most tunnels were crudely carved dirt corridors barely one-man wide, but some were professionally constructed subterranean roads, large enough to drive a car under the front line.
The most important of these tunnels passed between Barzeh and Harasta, a working-class suburb on the western edge of the Eastern Ghouta. Apparently untouched by the army, the tunnel operated around the clock in triple shifts, moving everything from food and people to medicine and livestock, and also, almost certainly, weapons and ammunition. The man in charge of the tunnel was Abu Khaled al-Zahteh, a local boy from Harasta who had wriggled his way up through rebel ranks to become the ruler of his neighborhood.
A man of uncertain ideology but evident ambition, Abu Khaled at one point ran a minor Free Syrian Army faction backed by the Muslim Brotherhood, but in he entered into a complicated on-off relationship with Ajnad al-Sham, a much larger group of conservative Sufi militants.
He seized Harasta in the winter of —15, initially by aligning himself with Alloush to grab the tunnel from one of his rivals, and then by using his newfound economic power to buy off competitors. Once in charge of the Harasta-Barzeh route, Abu Khaled began to extort other commanders who depended on the trade for their supplies; they tried to compensate by opening rival smuggling tunnels from nearby neighborhoods.
By summerthe Eastern Ghouta was trapped in a vicious circle of competitive smuggling, profiteering and pricing disputes. Though the Islam Army ran its own tunnels, it was left with too thin a slice of the trade to support its hopes for hegemony, and a frustrated Alloush began to flex his military muscles. When Money Ran Out As he sat glumly on his podium in March watching the soldiers and tanks of the Islam Army file past him, Zahran Alloush resembled nothing so much as a traditional Arab president.
But Alloush knew that to finally subdue internal resistance and unify the enclave, he first had to gain control over the tunnel economy that propped up his rivals. Others knew it, too. Foreign support also seems to have tapered off, partly because of U. According to reports in the Arabic press, Alloush was eventually forced to borrow money from local merchants to make ends meet.
In Maythe Islam Army leader had himself smuggled out of the enclave to go on a panhandling trip through Turkey and Jordan, where he met with Islamist benefactors and officials from Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
Safely back in the enclave, Alloush decided to make a move on the tunnels. That summer, Alloush ordered tanks to the outskirts of Harasta, but, with impeccable timing, Abu Khaled had just rediscovered his interest in religion and was accepted back into the ranks of Ajnad al-Sham, which told Alloush to back off. The Islam Army leader was furious, but he could do nothing unless he wanted to trigger a major battle with several factions at once.
He withdrew the tanks. In an enclave now teeming with distrust and accumulated ill will, all sides began to prepare for the coming confrontation. To the population of the Eastern Ghouta, the bickering rebel leaders looked like vultures feeding from a carcass. All the while, Assad kept up a relentless drumbeat of airstrikes against the Eastern Ghouta, killing hundreds of civilians and creating an intolerable state of paranoid suspense and terror.
That summer, the enclave was rocked by street protests of hungry civilians, who accused the rebels of profiteering and of seizing food for themselves.
In response to the protests, rebel fighters kicked downs doors and arrested troublemakers, and on at least one occasion, troops from Failaq al-Rahman fired into the crowds, wounding and killing demonstrators.
In late summer, Ajnad al-Sham and Failaq al-Rahman decided to boycott meetings of the Unified Military Command, arguing that the Islam Army was merely using it as cover to pursue its own political and financial interests. Alloush reacted as if he had been betrayed. At a gathering of Ghouta notables in a bunker-like basement a few days later, a leaked video recording showed the Islam Army leader hurling accusations at his rivals, a streak of unhinged desperation creeping into his voice.
The leaders of Ajnad al-Sham and Failaq al-Rahman were profiting from starvation, he screamed, and the criminal Abu Khaled had hoarded a thousand tons of food in his Harasta warehouses. They were the exact same charges that his rivals had leveled at him. Things went from bad to worse in Septemberwhen Russia suddenly threw its military might behind Assad, sending its own air force and vast amounts of military equipment to aid his beleaguered regime.
The government went back on the offensive all over Syria, including in the Eastern Ghouta. As bombs rained down over the enclave, killing hundreds of insurgents and civilians, local activists called out for unity and a counterattack. Instead, they got another fight over tunnel profits—now involving the Nusra Front, which had decided to sell food at cut-rate prices, thus threatening the financial base of its rivals.
Zahran Alloush who was killed on December 25, On Christmas Day,a volley of missiles slammed into a nondescript farm building near Hammouriyeh in the Eastern Ghouta.
Later that day, the Islam Army solemnly announced the martyrdom of Zahran Alloush. The strongman of the Eastern Ghouta was gone. Now it slammed shut. The Eastern Ghouta was no different. But the start of the siege in and the consequent rise of Zahran Alloush had changed the game. His charisma, leadership skills and powerful backers, combined with an unswerving dedication to the war against Assad and a seemingly boundless thirst for power, briefly seemed to set the Eastern Ghouta on a path to centralized control.
But Alloush, too, found himself bogged down in the siege economy, unable to suppress his rivals and end the centrifugal tendencies of the rebellion. Religious hard-liners began to drift out of control, roaring threats toward other groups. Some weeks later, the one-time Sufi moderate Abu Khaled al-Zahteh decided that he was now a jihadist and brought his Harasta brigade into an alliance with the Nusra Front. In a matter of weeks, the factional landscape of the Eastern Ghouta had been whittled down to three big groups, two of which plotted their revenge on the third.
The Islam Army lashed out to protect its position, and in MarchFailaq al-Rahman accused it of trying to assassinate its leaders. This set in motion a spiral of tit-for-tat violence that escalated into a civil war within the civil war.
In a surprise attack on April 28, Failaq al-Rahman and its allies robbed the Islam Army of its two main smuggling tunnels in the Damascus suburbs and of large stockpiles of weapons; the group would never recover from the blow. Internecine violence raged for weeks, during which Assad retook the southern part of the enclave and threatened to march deep into the Eastern Ghouta. A rebel cease-fire was brokered by Qatar on May 24, but, although major infighting stopped, the two camps refused to reconcile.
Indeed, the enclave was now two enclaves, and the Syrian regime cleverly exploited the new situation by focusing its firepower solely on the Islam Army-controlled eastern end of the Ghouta, while allowing U. Just as it calculated, no rebel reinforcements found their way across the divided enclave before it was too late. In FebruaryAssad raised the stakes by launching an offensive on Qaboun and Barzeh, attempting to plug the tunnels and finally strangle the insurgency.
The rebels put on a brave face in interviews conducted earlier this year. Indeed, the attacks on Qaboun and Barzeh touched off a violent rebel counteroffensive against eastern Damascus, and fighting still rages in late March. But it is unlikely to save the rebellion. Two years after the day when Zahran Alloush watched his forces march past the viewing stand, the once-fearsome Islam Army is struggling for survival, the Eastern Ghouta gasps for air, and the Syrian opposition is trapped in a spiral of disintegration and defeat.

Does social amplify SEO?
A common question is "does having a strong social presence help SEO"? The answer is well, sort of.
A common question is "does having a strong social presence help SEO"? The answer is well, sort of.
Images – if correctly tagged – can play a big role in prospect conversion.
You've created a lot of content for your website, but is it the right content?
SEO takes time. By creating easy-to-navigate, keyword-relevant and scannable content, you increase the likelihood of clicks, shares and resulting backlinks.
While marketing dashboard metrics are critical and should be reviewed regularly, we'd provide greater value to our organizations if we look at them in the context of the larger business environment and explore all the possible nuances that took us from A to B.
Which metrics matter when it comes to evaluating a communications program?
Way too many companies, even those filled with caring, engaged employees, are automated when it comes to customer service on social media.

Picking the right video type is crucial to your video's success, but so is picking the right video style. Style is a broader term that relates to your video's tone and messaging. It affects how your actual story is told — are you using actors? Graphics? Dialogue? Specific locations? Together, these elements create your video's style. Pick the right style and you'll draw in the audience that's most likely to convert.
Instead, invest in an external hard drive like one of the Lacie Rugged models. External hard drives come in a variety of sizes and port options (Thunderbolt, USB 3.0, etc.). Multimedia creators will use the phrase "working off of an external" to describe storing all of their project files on this hard drive. This method also makes it easier to collaborate with teammates because you can easily share the drive.
YouTube is also (surprise, surprise!) highly addicting. 83% of viewers prefer YouTube over any other video platform. Once viewers are on the platform, they usually stick around to watch another video … or 20. This can make it difficult to drive traffic back to your site from the platform. Despite these barriers, YouTube is a great platform for hosting videos and growing your audience.
For any "attract" video, avoid speaking too much about your product. Instead, let your brand values and personality be your north star(s). Finally, because these videos can live on a variety of channels, keep in mind the strategies of each platform. For example, a Facebook video might have a square aspect ratio and text animations for soundless viewers.
To make your videos as memorable as possible, ensure that you're keeping them in line with your brand strategy. This means keeping colors, fonts, logos and voice the same in your video marketing as they are in your blogs and articles. While videos do things text content doesn't, users should still be able to recognize the style and format of your brand's videos online.
Just like organic posts, paid social media posts can spread your content far. Paid posts, however, allow you to target the exact type of person you want watching your ads. Organic posting is only shown to your immediate fans, but with paid advertising, your content can target all sorts of demographics, locations, income levels, interests, and beyond — ensuring only the people most likely to purchase from you actually see your ad.
After you've determined the type of music you need, it's time to start analyzing potential songs. Consider the song's pacing. Songs with a steady rhythm are easy to change to suit your video style. Hoping to include your favorite, Top 40 hit? Popular, radio songs are usually structured in 4-5 parts and can be difficult to transition. Try to choose simple songs that are easy to loop. If you're looking for an instrumental song, be sure to find something that was recorded with real instruments. Songs made with digital samples can make your video feel unprofessional and out of date.
Paid distribution is super important as well, but how much you can do will likely be limited by your cash resources. You'll want to think more strategically about where your highest-converting audience is and dedicate most of your budget there. And because there are so many different forms of paid advertising even within one single channel (Facebook has 11 different types of advertisements alone), you want to test every channel and every type of distribution method. Until you know which will give you the highest return, hold back on spending your entire distribution budget.
However, identifying the right strategies to market your business is often likened to rocket science. How do you get your message to the right audience and do it effectively? How do you boost visibility and increase sales while sustaining a profit with a converting offer? Today, with so much vying for our attention from social media, to search engine optimization, blogging and pay-per-click advertising, it's easy to see why most are ready to pull their hair out.
The program even provides helpful templates that simplify the editing process. The platform supports high-quality clips like 4K video footage and makes it easy to share your work directly to a video hosting platform. Limited access to advanced color correction and editing features mean it isn't commonly used by professionals, but iMovie is still a great option if you're just starting out.
The exact settings on your camera will depend on your model, but there's likely an auto option, a bunch of presets (daylight, cloudy, tungsten, etc.), and custom. Avoid auto white balance at all costs and opt for a preset or custom instead. If you have a top-of-the-line DSLR, there may also be an option to manually set the color temperature of the room, measured in Kelvin.
Depending on your industry and the type of video you create, your video could benefit from more traditional types of publicity, like a press release or publication on a trade website. Working with a PR agency could be beneficial, but you could also reach out directly to site administrators on niche sites related to your field, like health and wellness sites, fitness sites, major food websites, tech sites, and more. Ask to be featured in their newsletter or send them your press release with a link to your video directly — the more official your campaign, the better!
It is estimated that 92% of people who consume mobile videos share them with other people. This is a massive portion and is higher than the share rate of many other types of content out there. Simply Measured discovered that video is shared 1,200% more than both links and text combined. Also, 60% of viewers will engage in a video post before a text post, according to Diode Digital. Because of this, video content is a powerful tool for any brand that wants to expand its reach online or enjoy wider audiences.
Survey your followers. You may have a big email list of fans who may not yet be customers. Use a simple tool like Polldaddy or SurveyMonkey to ask your followers one question: What challenge would you like us to help you solve? Gini Dietrich, CEO of Arment Dietrich and lead blogger at Spin Sucks, has some great advice on surveying your audience in this episode of The Actionable Marketing Podcast.
The first step in creating your video strategy is outlining your video's goals.

This is important… Read More every stage of the marketing funnel. But, initially, you'll have to decide which stage is the most important to target.
What type of lead magnet should you build? That could either be an ebook, a cheat sheet, a checklist, a video and others. Of course, it's not just about the lead magnet. You have to have a squeeze page with sizzling sales copy to get people to drop into your funnel. But it all starts with a great lead magnet. The better it is, the more effective you'll be at reaching your audience.
A purchase may have been made, but there's still a lot of video can do to leverage the post-conversion stage of your flywheel. During the "delight stage" of the inbound methodology, your goal is to continue providing remarkable content to users that makes their interaction with your product or service as incredible as possible. It's also in hopes that they'll tell their connections about their experience or up-sell themselves. Therefore, the goal of this type of video is to encourage your customers to embrace your brand and become brand evangelists.

Finally, you need to execute the plan for marketing and distributing your content that was created at the strategic stage. Like any other part of content marketing, video isn't successful unless your target audience see it and engage with it in the way you want. And your video content marketing strategy as a whole won't work unless each piece of video content comes together to form a cohesive marketing funnel moving leads from awareness to consideration to decision.
Also think about what emotion you want your story to impart on the viewer as you craft your story. Do you want them to laugh? Should they feel inspired or happy after watching your video? Whatever emotion you want your viewers to have, think about that as you write your script. Everything from the props and the location to the colors and the wardrobe will communicate this, so choose every detail wisely!

If you're hiring a production team or agency, you'll want to do all your company vetting, creative calls, and approvals here.
Video Marketing is a good way to promote your business. However, it's not that an easy task and sometimes you need a help from your co-workers like graphic designers if you don't know how to create or draw your own icon or image to be used in the video. Though you can get from free stock photos and icons sites to compile it for your video, I think it's better if you create your own.

'Clearly the President Was Wrong'
The House and Senate intelligence committees do their jobs.
These columns asked readers to trust the House and Senate intelligence committees to investigate the charges of wiretaps and Russian meddling in the election, and so far, so good. This week the bipartisan leaders of those committees said they've found no evidence that Trump Tower was the target of U.S. government surveillance.
Mr. Trump famously made the accusation in a Twitter blast late last month, without evidence, and no evidence has surfaced. "I don't think there was an actual tap of Trump Tower," said House Intelligence...

POLICE have urged the Westhoughton community to ensure crimes are reported following a number of breakthroughs in recent cases.
Sgt Loraine Lister made the appeal in an update to members of Westhoughton Town Council at a meeting on Monday night.
It follows increased concern about crime in the town after a number of incidents, including a four-man armed robbery at Hays Travel in January.
Sgt Lister said: "The general perception is that there has been a large increase in reported crime to the police but from looking at the figures, there has been very little change.
"The perception is a lot higher than what has been recorded. So the main drive is to try and increase reporting to 101 because it is the only facility to generate crime reporting.
"What we have found in Westhoughton is that the community knows things and they get frustrated they don't see a police officer and then do not report things.
"We need the community to report things to 101."
Four people were arrested following the incident at Hays Travel, which was allegedly carried out with axes.
The group were reported to have broken through the front door and demanded staff members hand over all the money from the office before they ran off.
And Scott Robinson from Washacre, known as a prolific offender in the Westhoughton area, was recently sentenced in court for several theft and burglary offences. The 40-year-old was given a 42-month jail term.
Sgt Lister admitted that good news stories like these needed to be communicated to the public more and said steps were being taken to address this.
She said: "We are responding more to the fact that people do want to know what we're doing and that we have good news to share.
"Some of those good news stories have only come about because people have reported it to the police in the first place.
"We are reliant on our social media. Our staff can not do it, we have to ask our operational support officers or hub staff.
"We are going on a course to learn how to do it ourselves. We are seeing the benefit of putting more information out and putting out good news stories."
Members of the town council praised officers for their response to residents' concerns.
Cllr Jack Speight thanked the officers for taking the time out to attend the meeting.
He said: "It is always nice to get feedback for the community. There have also been some nice comments from people who are pleased to see more visible policing in the community, which reassures people.
"It is always nice to see that. You can not beat having a bobby on the beat."

Isak Dinesen
By Nava Atlas | On | Comments (2)
Isak Dinesen (April 17, 1885 – September 7, 1962) was the pen name of the Danish author best known for Out of Africa (1937), a now-controversial memoir of her life as the owner of a coffee plantation in Kenya. She is also considered a master of short-form fiction. One of her best known collections is Seven Gothic Tales, and a standout short story (turned film) is "Babette's Feast" (1958).
Karen von Blixen-Finecke, née Karen Christenze Dinesen was born a Baroness into a family of aristocrats, merchants, and landed gentry. Her father was a peripatetic traveler, military man, politician, and writer who committed suicide when Karan was just nine years old.
Karen showed an early interest in writing, creating stories, plays, and poetry. After some early success in publishing stories, she put writing aside. In 1903 she started to study art in Copenhagen, much to her family's disapproval.
Marriage, a coffee plantation, and a love affair
Karen became engaged to Baron Bror Blixen-Finecke, a second cousin, in 1912. Upon their arrival in Mombassa, Kenya, they were married, and together, they ran a coffee plantation. Not long after, she discovered that she had contracted syphilis from her husband, which would continue to be an underlying condition for much of her life.
She returned to Europe briefly in 1915 to be treated, then returned to Africa. She and her husband bought a larger farm not far from Nairobi.
It was in the midst of this that Karen fell in love with Denys Finch-Hatton, a British soldier and planter. Their turbulent affair has been immortalized in the 1985 film, Out of Africa, starring an accurately accented Meryl Streep, with Robert Redford as Finch-Hatton.
. . . . . . . . . .
Out of Africa, Dinesen's best-known work,

On her own, and the start of a writing career
In 1921, Bror Blixen left Karen and shortly thereafter, they divorced. She continued her on-again, off-again affair with Finch-Hatton until his death in a plane crash in 1929. It left her devastated. She stayed in Africa until 1931, running the farm on her own after Blixen left, despite financial difficulties and drought. When the farm's fortunes collapsed in 1931, she returned to her family home in Denmark.
Soon after returning to Denmark Karen began to use the nom de plume Isak Dinesen. In 1934, Seven Gothic Tales, a collection of stories she had written in English. Of the stories, she said:
"Reality had met me … in such an ugly shape, that I have no wish to come into contact with it again. Somewhere in me a dark fear was still crouching and I took refuge within the fantastic like a distressed child in his book of fairy tales."
Seven Gothic Tales became a surprising success in the U.S., even becoming a Book-of-the-Month-Club selection.
. . . . . . . . . .
Isak Dinesen's most enduring work, Out of Africa
. . . . . . . . . .
Out of Africa: A contemporary reconsideration
Dinesen's seventeen years in Kenya, or what was then called British East Africa, became the basis of what remains her best-known work, the memoir Out of Africa (1937). It begins with the simple yet memorable line: "I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills."
The memoir covers her years in Africa, from 1914 to 1931. There she had a four-thousand acre coffee plantation in the hills of Nairobi. When she and her husband separated, she stayed on to manage the farm herself.
During those years she was frequently visited by her lover, the big-game hunter Denys Finch-Hatton. For his amusement, she would make up stories "like Scheherazade." In Africa, "I learned how to tell tales," she recalled many years later. "The natives have an ear still. I told stories constantly to them, all kinds."
Not a few contemporary critics and scholars have charged that Out of Africa is an out-of-date work, almost and anathema in post-colonial times. The way Dinesen refers to "the natives" is seen as disrespectful, and often downright demeaning. A 2017 essay in Quartz Africa by Abdi Natif Dahir, "Celebrating Karen Blixen's Out of Africa Shows Why White Savior Tropes Still Exist," argues:
"Since the publication of Blixen's book in 1937, she has remained an important—and lasting—fixture in the study of Kenya's colonial history. Her image was also solidified globally by the 1985 Oscar award-winning movie adaptation … Yet given the criticisms leveled against Blixen and her portrayal of the Africans who lived on her farm, it was shocking to hear her openly racist ideas and choice of words regurgitated without examination at the museum—by a Kenyan tour guide. Who, exactly, were the 'natives'?
To read Out of Africa is to read a string of loosely-connected stories that are mostly unified by one theme: the inferiority of the African being. Throughout the book, Blixen uses animal imageries and nature references to illustrate her points about the "squatters" who lived on her land. The Kikuyu and Maasai communities are called 'primitive,' a 'flock of sheep' who are 'on friendly terms with destiny' and can barely plan for the future."
Leah Wolfson, in ScholarBlogs, similarly argues:
"In light of postcolonial African nations seeking to forge an identity and literature of their own, Blixen's views, and particularly her novels of Africa, came under increased scrutiny. Kenyan novelist and critic Ngugi wa Thiong'o refers to Blixen in his essay 'Literature and Society.'
He sees her as a racist author who tries to 'define the colonized world for the European colonizer'. He points to Blixen's repeated use of animal imagery when describing Africans. In her depiction of her servant Kamante, Ngugi sees Blixen's comparison to the animal as extreme insult. He details a passage comparing Kamante's actions to, 'a civilized dog, that has lived for a long time with people, will place a bone on the floor before you, as a present.'"
Much of contemporary knowledge of Out of Africa is filtered through familiarity the award-winning film starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, whose greater focus on Dinesen's fraught love affair with Denys Finch Hatton. One thing most critics and scholars agree upon is that Dinesen was a master storyteller, but her legacy is complicated. As her biography on Post Colonial Studies states,
"Karen Blixen remains a complex figure in the writing and history of colonial Africa. Author, storyteller, and early colonizer, she helped to define Africa and its people for the many Europeans who read her novels, chiefly Out of Africa and Shadows on the Grass. Criticism of her work frequently shifts from admiration of her form to outrage at her portrayal of Africans. Karen Blixen's complicated life and work continue to be studied, debated, and questioned in light of both the colonial society she inhabited and the modern reality of a postcolonial world."
Later books: Winter's Tales and others
Building on her reputation as Isak Dinesen, she produced a number of well-regarded books, continuing mainly with short-form fiction and memoir. These included Winter's Tales (1942), Last Tales (1957), and Shadows on the Grass (1960). The latter is also a memoir of her years in Africa. Ehrengard, a novella, was published posthumously in 1963.
Dinesen had a fondness and perhaps even felt a debt of gratitude to the American reading public. In a 1956 interview in The Paris Review, she related:
"When I came back from Africa I had lost all the money I had when I married, because the farm didn't pay you know. I asked my brother to finance me for two years while I prepared Seven Gothic Tales and I told him that at the end of two years I'd be on my own.
When the manuscript was ready I went to England and one day at luncheon there was the Editor, Mr. Huntington, and I said 'Please, I have a manuscript and I wish you'd look at it.' He said, 'What is it?' and when I replied 'A book of short stories,' he threw up his hands and cried 'No!' and I begged 'Won't you even look at it?' and he said 'A book of short stories by an unknown writer? No hope!'
Then I sent it to America and it was taken right away by Robert Haas who published it, and the general public took it and liked it, and they have always been faithful."
Later years
Isak Dinesen continued to suffer from the effect of syphilis into her later years. Her treatments had contained the illness, but never completely cured it. Despite her frailty, she was able to enjoy a long visit to the United States in 1959. It was during this time that she met Carson McCullers, and the two authors had an extravagant lunch at McCuller's home in Nyack, New York that also included Marilyn Monroe.
Stomach ulcers and anxiety also plagued the author throughout the years. When she died at age 77 in 1962 at Rungstedlund, her family estate, the cause was thought to be malnutrition.

So proud of women heritage. Powerful writers who have left a footprint on Planet Earth.
I always admired Isak Dinesen; Out of Africa is especially in my heart. I have visited Nyack, New York to
see the house of Carson McCullers. I already knew Isak Dinesen and Marilyn Monroe visited Carson's dwelling.
It is a collector's item! I already signed with you. It opens my soul to new adventures within. These women have left a mark and guide us with such strength that it is a blessing. Warm regards.

I viewed rare double sundogs in the the sky driving home from Kansas City on I-70 one evening last winter....
like the drum simple entry, guitar work is back there, then shows up nicely in the break.
None to give.
Eighteen wheels driving hard tonight
Sundogs setting in the Kansas sky
Left KC at quarter to five
Pushing this rig, keeping things tight
It'll be five hours til I get to you
GPS says twelve-twenty-two
Thank you God, I'll be getting there soon
Ain't no guessing what we're going to do
Drivin' hard tonight
Highway's been a little lonely
Driving Hard Tonight
Got my woman waiting for me
Drivin' hard tonight
To get to you, you, you
Cruising I-70 doing eighty-five
Last mile marker said I'm making good time
Pushing this rig right down the road
Driving desire to take me on home
Gas pedal buried, got a grip on the wheel
I'm holding back 40 tons of steel
Been ten days that I've been away
Be ready baby, I'm coming your way

Liverpool Transfer News: Bobby Duncan set to join Fiorentina on a permanent deal
What's the story?
According to Sky Sports, Liverpool forward, Bobby Duncan is close to joining Fiorentina on a permanent deal.
In case you didn't know...
Duncan was surrounded by controversies recently after his agent accused Liverpool of 'mentally bullying and destroying' his client.
Agent Saif Rubie claimed that the young striker, who is the cousin of the Reds' former captain Steven Gerrard, has been forced to stay at Anfield against his will.
However, Liverpool have described the allegations to be baseless and also vowed to continue working privately with Duncan and his representatives to find a solution in the best interests of all parties involved.
The heart of the matter...
According to reports, Liverpool have agreed terms with Fiorentina to sell youngster Bobby Duncan for £2 million with a 20% sell-on clause. He will now fly to Florence to discuss personal terms and undergo a medical.
The 18-year-old joined the Reds from Manchester City in 2018 and was the club's top goalscorer (32 goals) for the U-18 category last season. The England youth international also featured in the Reds' pre-season win over Tranmere Rovers this summer but he did not play a competitive game for the club.
The Merseysiders rejected the Italian side's approach to take Duncan on loan earlier in the transfer window as they thought the offer to be just tantamount to trial, which represented no value for the player or the club.
Danish Superliga side FC Nordsjaelland were also keen to sign the talented youngster but they saw their approach rebuffed by the reigning European Champions last month.
What's next?
Liverpool will play Newcastle United at Anfield in their next Premier League fixture after the international break. Meanwhile, Fiorentina are scheduled to play against Juventus on September 15.
The European transfer window will close later today and both clubs will be looking to conclude the deal before that.

Mid to March March to The ""XX"" is not the day of stamping. The ""W"" is the neck width where ""A"" is the narrowest, ""B"" is normal, and ""C"" is the widest. This new stamp was usually green ink.

Where did your username come from?
Melon kerbal replied to spacebrick3's topic in The Loungeyears ago i went my Narf (a little creature I made in year 6 (9-10YO),I kinda didn't want to explain the story to everyone.so when i made my profile for something (forgot what it was) i looked around and all i saw was a watermelon and a doodle of a kerbal i made,so i became melonkerbal. If your looking for me on any site it would be similar to narf or melonkerbal.
Arecibo code (and POSSIBLE reply)
Melon kerbal posted a topic in The LoungeHas anyone heard about the Arecibo code,sent from the arecibo observatory in November 1974.Just a thread about this, I've also seen the (possible) response this is a "decoded" version.It seems to have similarities to KSP (solar system,Race and (not visible in this image) the tracking station) Although (sadly) most probably a hoax.
1. Think of plot that people agree with 2. Create a script 3. Send to Hollywood 4. MOVIE MAGIC!!!!! 5. Profit!
Teaching Aliens English (Or any other Human language)
Melon kerbal replied to Spaceception's topic in Science & SpaceflightIt would be hard,not just because may not have the same biology as us,but have 11th century technology so we couldn't explain the lander and such.
@Randazzo That would be pretty cool,better than most stuff on TV these days.
Ah,correcting me again on one of the topics I find the most interesting.There is no way of 'Shielding' an AI from bad influence as He/She/It will learn one thing and eventually find out about evil.
Personally,It would good if they made at least one movie with an AI main protagonist (I Know there's the terminator sequels but their side characters)
Explain that to the insurance agency
Melon kerbal replied to mikeman7918's topic in Forum Games!Glue didn't dry and thought it was quick drying glue. Giant Hamster destroys R&D Building.
I hate it when films like terminator always follow the 'Evil AI' plot.In reality the programmers would probably create a failsafe. Not that I don't like terminator,it's just common sense to program a failsafe.
If you were the first person on mars, what would you say?
Melon kerbal replied to KleptoKat's topic in Forum Games!"WAIT WHAT... You sent me HERE on this Rust-Ball of a planet.When You said Mars I thought you meant free Mars bars.*turns to camera*Erm...lets see...Always read contracts!
