During the last session, Anne F. Kennedy of Beyond Ink told us that it was time to move beyond ten blue links and start optimizing the rest of your digital content. Now she's going to introduce a guy who will tell us all about that. How awesome is Greg Jarboe of SEO-PR? He's the only one speaking this session and it's going to rock.
He's wearing a Buckeyes sweatshirt because he's a University of Michigan alum. They lost again last night and he apparently is doing penance as a result. Sports are weird.
Greg starts off with the still excellent fact that there are 9 billion searches on Google a month. And there are 10 billion videos viewed on YouTube every month. So who is really the heavyweight in that relationship?
YouTube is the single most underutilized opportunity online.
The market is extremely diverse. It's not just kids and college students (though it does skew younger) but you're still getting 35 percent of the people over 35. There are more male users than female.
How do you get people to discover, watch and share YouTube videos?
His book has nine steps to becoming a better marketer on YouTube. He's going to boil it down to three in this presentation: discover, watch and share. You need all three to be successful.
TubeMogul data, Feb 12, 2009: 45 percent of videos are discovered on video sites, 44 percent of videos are discovered on blogs, and only six percent are discovered with search engines. Less than one percent used a video search engine. If you're only interested in optimizing for search… good luck, you're chasing the six percent. YouTube has a different algorithm than Google, and you need to optimize for that.
How does YouTube's algo work?
YouTube has something like Google Suggest. They try to guess what you're looking for in the search box and they use recent searches to build those suggestions. When they optimize video on the fly, they guess at searches and see what comes up.
There is a YouTube keyword tool that will also suggest terms. It's not great data but it's something to consider. It can be found at https://ads.youtube.com/keyword_tool.
[Steve Ballmer video] on Google gets you the monkey dance. On YouTube just [Steve Ballmer] will get you the monkey dance.
Think of your title as a headline.
If you include brand name in title, it should go last.
Be as detailed as possible (short of the entire transcript).
Include URLs with http:// to playlist or Web site.
Tags are not Keyword Meta tags. They're far more useful and you should pay attention to them. Everything in your Title should be in your Tags.
Compelling video content is the second critical success factor on YouTube.
Most videos steadily lose viewers once "play" is clicked. You have 10 seconds and then 10 percent will be gone. Half will be gone at one minute. However, just pushing play is counted as a view. Ads don't show up until after the ten second mark.
Always make sure you're using the latest and best specs. They're a moving target. At the moment it's 1280 x 720 and a 30 second refresh rate, but that's today. ReelSEO keeps up with the specs so look there.
You can combine them and mix and match. The SES channel did an experiment at SES NY and asked for "Escalator pitches" (the elevator was too slow).
They also got Jason Calacanis to do a demonstration of My Mahalo. At SES Toronto, they turned the camera over to an attendee for a testimonial. They tried to interview the SearchMonkey there, but he didn't talk.
YouTube gives you analytics! It'll tell you where people are engaging and when they're dropping off. Even someone like Matt, where you think everything would be popular, will have dips and curves in attention.
So now that they've watched it, sharing is the multiplier. You can't fake that. You have to get the opinion maker. You can't control them but you can influence them. Identify them, pitch to them, use promoted videos. Allow them to embed the video. It can provide a huge surge of views. Partner with people, interview people who will embed the interview in their blog.
YouTube isn't just cats riding on Roombas. (Though you can find them there.) Adorable but kinda dumb — unless you're the VP of Marketing for Roomba.
Look for opportunities to make something compelling.
He ends with Mike Grehan's testimonial for his book. Just… read the slide. Hee.
Also, don't bother with the branded channel. Free is all you need in most cases, unless you're a media company trying to sell advertising.
Should we post our TV commercials on YouTube?
Greg: Probably not. Most of your commercials are created to watch, not to share. There are some that do work. Do a search for [ball girl]. It's a video by Gatorade. It's kinda like a commercial but it's longer than the 30 second format. But don't just repurpose something that is designed to be watched passively. Recognize that there's a different format.
Brent asked a question that I missed but Greg points out that one of the most underleveraged sources is Google News video. Recognized news sources get pulled for video results for news stories.
What's going on with B2B and YouTube?
Greg: Blendtec is the classic example. Remember that their audience wasn't home blenders. It was industrial blenders. Their sales went up 700 percent. The video views also gave them an opportunity to launch a B2C line, in the middle of a recession, successfully. Nike came to them and offered them money to blend a new sneaker.
I used competitor terms in my campaign and took a lot of heat for it. Was I wrong?
Greg: I agree with you. Video is higher up in the funnel. You should absolutely be going after competitor keywords at that point. You're still changing minds. Obama used videos to change minds. Mitt Romney tried to raise money. One of them became president.
Where should you put your URL in the description? In the middle or the beginning or the end?
Greg: There's not really anywhere to bury it. But you HAVE TO use http://, if you just use www it won't become a link. It's only four years old, it's not very robust yet.
Are annotations and captions indexed?
Greg: Yes! Yes, yes. Go look at the Webmaster Central Channel. It's all there.
What should I know about audio specs?
Greg: They haven't evolved much. Video is evolving much faster. More and more videos are being watched on cell phones so consider those specs too.
Should you put your videos on YouTube and embed them back to your site? Or should you stick to your "wrong" format?
Greg: Just go out and do a new round of interviews. Embed them from YouTube onto your site.
Isn't Facebook a huge audience?
Greg: If you look at the TubeMogul data, social networks are only two percent. It might explode but it's underperformed so far.

Coronavirus cases worldwide top 60 million: AFP tally
by Agence France-Presse
More than 60 million cases of the novel coronavirus have been detected worldwide, according to a tally from official sources compiled by AFP as of 1830 GMT on Wednesday.
In total 60,014,291 infections, leading to 1,415,258 deaths, have been recorded around the world since the pandemic emerged in China late last year.
The tallies, using data collected by AFP from national authorities and information from the World Health Organization, probably reflect only a fraction of the actual number of infections.
Many countries lack testing capacity, or test only symptomatic cases or the most serious ones.
The European region including Russia has had 17.1 million confirmed infections for nearly 388,000 deaths, making it the region with the most recorded cases.
In the last week, 1.7 million new cases have been documented in 52 countries of the European region, 10 percent fewer than the preceding week, which shows that the spread of the pandemic there is slowing.
The United States is gripped by a third wave of the coronavirus.
The country is approaching 13 million confirmed cases with more than 260,000 dead, or more than a fifth of all infections recorded worldwide.
And the number of positive cases continues to climb, with an increase of 11 percent in new infections detected in a week, or more than 1.2 million cases compared to 1.1 million the previous week.
Behind Europe, the regions with the highest numbers of cases are the United States and Canada (13 million, 272,183 deaths), Latin America and the Caribbean (12.6 million, 438,098 deaths), and Asia (12,1 million, 190.108 deaths).
Follow are the Middle East (3.2 million cases, 75,700 deaths), Africa (2.1 million cases, 50,422 deaths) and Oceania (more than 30.000 cases, 941 deaths).

New York's taxes are so high that Brooklyn investment banker Joel Novak has decided to pull up stakes and move to New Mexico now that he's retiring.
Novak, 67, said he's flying to Santa Fe on Saturday to begin scouting for a new home in a state where he estimates he'll save 10 to 12 percent a year from lower tax rates.
"Even with high taxes we're still struggling to get the schools straight," said Novak, who has two grown children and four grandchildren living in Manhattan.
But Novak said he was surprised to learn that New York's per-capita tax burden is the highest in the nation.
"I thought Massachusetts was at the top," he said.
In his calculations over relocating, Novak figures he'll save far more in taxes than he'll spend on airfare to return to New York to visit his children and grandchildren several times a year.
"Not only do I pay taxes, but they go to private school, anyway," he said of his grandchildren.
New Mexico's per-capita tax burden is $3,147, compared with New York at $5,770, a study of Census data by the Business Council of New York State's Public Policy Institute found.
The study released yesterday found that New York has the highest per-capita tax burden. New Mexico was ranked 32nd.
Matthew Maguire, a spokesman for the Business Council, said the scourge of high taxes is driving New Yorkers from the state, which he described as one of only four states in the nation that is losing population.
Maguire said relocated New Yorkers have written to the Business Council's Web site lamenting the fact that they had no choice but move.
"They'd love to come back. They miss the four seasons, they miss the Adirondacks and they miss the Rangers, but they've had to make a new life in places like South Carolina," Maguire said.

We have previously shown that 1 h of maternal insulin-induced hypoglycemia is teratogenic to rat embryos during the initial stages of neurulation, when they are dependent on uninterrupted glycolysis (day 9.5–9.7 of development). To determine whether this vulnerability persists in later stages of neural tube and cardiac development, we infused insulin into 16 conscious pregnant rats for 1 h beginning after embryos had developed the capacity for aerobic glucose metabolism (day 10.6 of development). Half of the pregnant animals were allowed to become hypoglycemic (44 ± 2 mg/dl) during the insulin infusions. The other half received glucose infusions to maintain normoglycemia (130 ± 3 mg/dl). Normal plasma glucose levels were maintained in all animals after the insulin infusions. Embryos were examined on day 11.5 of development. At that time, 1 of 111 embryos from the normoglycemic group and 1 of 109 embryos from the hypoglycemic group were grossly malformed (P > .5). Means of embryo crown-rump length (4.15 ± 0.03 vs. 4.14 ± 0.03 mm), somite number (29.7 ± 0.1 vs. 29.8 ± 0.2), and total protein content (320 ± 5 vs. 326 ± 6 μg) were also similar in the two groups (P > .5). Thus, we could not detect an embryotoxic effect of 1 h of maternal insulin-induced hypoglycemia beginning at day 10.6 of development. This finding is in contrast to our prior demonstration that a similar period of hypoglycemia occurring earlier in neurulation (day 9.7) caused growth retardation and developmental anomalies in embryos. Our results indicate that the teratogenic effects of brief maternal insulin-induced hypoglycemia in vivo do not extend past early organogenesis in rats. Based on these findings and on clinical data indicating that maternal hypoglycemia is not teratogenic during later portions of the first trimester, we suggest that efforts to determine whether maternal insulin-induced hypoglycemia is teratogenic in humans should focus on the first 3 wk of intrauterine development.

Human Dignity as the Foundation of the State Community
detail - Rule of Law Programme Middle East and North Africa
"Human dignity shall be inviolable." Article 1 Section 1 (1) places human dignity at the very beginning of the German constitution (Basic Law / GG). It is the benchmark for all state decisions and actions, as all state authority is obliged to respect and protect human dignity. However, the notion of human dignity is not specified by the Basic Law. A more detailed examination of its substance and value is therefore indispensable for understanding its impact on the German constitutional system.
April 1, 2020 Ordering Information
Such an examination is the present contribution by Peter Häberle1. The protection of human dignity is not a particularity of the Basic Law, but is found in numerous constitutions and in public international law. Often, a reference can be found in the preamble. For example, in the Charter of the United Nations of 26th June 1945, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 10th December 1948 or the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 19th December 1966. In addition, the constitutions of many states contain human dignity clauses. In Germany, even the first democratic constitution – the Weimar Constitution of 1919 – had, somewhat hidden in Art. 151 Abs. 1 WRV, a reference to human dignity.
Since the idea of human dignity is not further defined in the Basic Law, it is, above all, the role of the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany to refine it. There have already been numerous decisions in which the court has had to deal with the dignity of human beings and its characteristics. The Court describes human dignity as the centre of a value system that is conveyed by the entire Basic Law. Human dignity is, therefore, the highest benchmark within the constitution and it directly effects the substance of numerous other fundamental rights.
The main approach of the Constitutional Court´s jurisdiction is the so-called object-formula ("Objektformel"), which is based on Immanuel Kant's moral theory that prohibits to treat people merely as means. The object-formula states that no human being shall be treated as an object of state action and thus be denied the quality of a human subjectivity. This concept of human dignity has major implications for the legal order, for example, on how people are treated in criminal proceedings and the penal system. To specify the substance of human dignity is, therefore, a matter of individual cases. Due to the federal structure of Germany, this specification is not only done by the Federal Constitutional Court, but also by the Constitutional Courts of the "Länder" (federal states), as human dignity is anchored in their constitutions as well.
Probably the most important legal implication of human dignity is the general right of personality, which is derived from Article 1 paragraph 1 and Article 2 paragraph 1 GG and provides a comprehensive protection of a person's autonomy. Furthermore, the protection of human dignity is closely linked to the Social state principle ("Sozialstaatsprinzip"). This principle ensures a decent existence (welfare) and the possibility of (democratic) participation in society. In this context, the dimension of fundamental rights as a state obligation to protect is at the centre of attention. It obliges the state to create certain framework conditions for the protection of human dignity.
Not only the constitutional courts, but also the specialised courts contribute to the legal shaping of human dignity. These courts have a nuanced jurisdiction, particularly with regard to the general right of personality. Approaches to defining the idea of human dignity are also designed in constitutional theory. However, the idea of human dignity is not an invention of the Basic Law or constitutionalism itself. Häberle concludes that the "Objektformel" is still the best approach to specify the idea of human dignity. He rightly notes that the concept of human dignity is at least partially open for expansions in the sense of cultural and social change. In an attempt to outline a legal framework of human dignity, Häberle defines four dimensions of its protection: (1) The unity of defence and protection / freedom and participation, (2) the protection of human dignity in material and procedural law, (3) the material and immaterial protection of human dignity and (4) the content and organisation of human dignity.
1Peter Häberle is an emeritus german professor of constitutional law. He taught in Marburg, Augsburg and Bayreuth as well as in guest professorships abroad. In particular, he has dealt with the dogmatics of fundamental rights and constitutional theory.

Helen Keller once said, "Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it." It has been 8 months since Hurricane Irma left her wrath on Southwest Florida and devastated many in the Immokalee Community. In the wake of the hurricane, the Guadalupe Center established a Hurricane Relief Fund to which you so generously contributed. We appreciate very much that you entrusted us to provide relief to those most impacted in Immokalee. Following is a brief update on the many ways your generosity has helped those in need overcome suffering. At right you will find a report further detailing the distribution of funds.
Your contribution helped in the establishment, staffing and supply of the Benison Distribution Center in Immokalee. This distribution center has helped thousands of families in Immokalee with food, water, clothing, furniture, and other supplies post-hurricane.
You aided several families in securing new homes. New mobile homes were purchased for families whose homes were left uninhabitable. At present, the families are in temporary housing, as the permit process has proven lengthy. Additionally, your funding provided a down payment for a family whose trailer was destroyed that wanted a more safe, secure place to call home.
You offered deductible assistance. Your generosity helped families that were struggling with the deductible portion of their insurance. They were unable to pay due to socioeconomic status or employment changes, such as layoffs, due to the hurricane and its impact on the agriculture industry.
You made repairs. Your funding helped with supplies and labor to make repairs to homes in disrepair from the hurricane. Each family has provided written quotes or receipts. In addition, repairs were made to the Guadalupe Center's main campus. We had roof damage, playground damage, and down trees. Your funding allowed us to make the necessary repairs.
You assisted with daunting utility bills, rental expenses, and storage fees, along with distribution of supplies including food, water, diapers, clothing, and school supplies that positively affected hundreds of families in Immokalee.
With your support, the Guadalupe Center is proud to share that we have been able to help hundreds of families receive much needed support during a terribly stressful and damaging time. Thank you.
I am also proud to share that I am leading the newly established Immokalee Unmet Needs Coalition. This is a group of non-profit and other community leaders in Immokalee that were brought together initially because of Hurricane Irma, but are now working to address other unmet needs in the area through increased collaboration. The primary focus of this Long Term Recovery Group is working to enhance hurricane preparedness and response, and address the severe affordable housing issues in Immokalee.
We were fortunate that a number of our longtime donors and members of our Board of Trustees made gifts to continue the operations of the Guadalupe Center helping us to continue paying our employees while acting as a distribution center in the weeks following the hurricane. In addition, your support allowed us to waive parent fees for several weeks – relief that was much needed and much appreciated. Your funding was critical in helping us get back to providing services so families could return to work after the hurricane, and ensuring that children continued to receive a quality education throughout the recovery process.
As we move ahead, we will continue our efforts to address the needs of those who still are recovering from the impact of Hurricane Irma. Your support has changed the lives of so many and for that, we remain forever grateful.

Should Sports Players Have More Money Than Soldiers?
Sports players should have more money than soldiers that is a very hard question to answer. The way I see it is that sports players should earn the same amount of money they make. I will give 3 reasons on why because they donate so much money to charity. If they have an injury they can lose everything. They earn their money. Sports player should earn money because they donate their money to charity. They spend so much money to those that are less fortunate. They spend money on charity like Cristiano Ronaldo gave approximately $83,000 to a 10-year-old fan in need of brain surgery. He also donated more than $165,00 to fund a cancer centre in Portugal that treated his mother.
Why Do Sports Players Get Paid More Than Soldiers
Why should sports players get paid more than soldiers? Sports players risk not only their lives, just as soldiers do too, but also the future of their career. Imagine risking your life, your future, and your whole family on a everyday basis. This is the life of all sports players. Most people are always biased on this topic because they have friends or family members serving in the military or simply because people are willing to go into war for the love of their nation. Although most people may be biased, there are many reasons why sports players should be paid more and why they are paid more.
Athletes Should Get Paid More Than Soldiers
I don't agree that pro athletics should get paid more than soldiers. Pro athletics all they do is play. Soldiers are who fight as part of an organized land-based and some lose their lives.
Sports Players Get Paid More Than Soldiers
Do sports players make more money than soldiers, if yes is this fair. Should soldiers get paid more than than sports players. Lots of people oppose to this saying that soldiers should get paid more. Both sport players and soldiers get hurt. But i think it's fair how the pay is .Who gets paid more soldiers or players.
Should College Athletes Be Paid?
In college sports today there is an occurring issue on whether or not college athletes should be paid to play. This issue has been disputed since the NCAA was established in 1906. These athletes have made money for everybody involved with these schools, but they themselves have made nothing. The main reason these players have not acquired pay is because of the NCAA and their rules and regulations. College athletes should get paid because they are the main source of revenue for colleges. Also they should be paid, because some might be poor or have been injured and they need money to help their lives stay on track.
Should Athletes Get Paid Billions Of Dollars
Although Athletes get paid billions of dollars there are some people that donate money or other things to the charity and there and some people that do donate to charity that is Lebron James, Tiger Woods, Eli Manning, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and many more that care about charity
Athletes And Entertainers Should Get Paid Analysis
First of all, I think that athletes and entertainers don't deserve as much money as they do make. This is very important to me, I think people who risk their own lives or another person's life as a career deserves more money. Someone who can play a sport or sing and has a talent deserves to paid, but not millions. Police officers, nurses, and especially soldiers deserve as much if not more money. There
Professional Athletes' Salaries
Athletes deserve the money they receive because of their hard work, dedication, and commitment to their passion. They wouldn 't be where they 're at just sitting on the couch all day long doing nothing. They put a lot of time and effort into their futures. Most people don 't even realize the sacrifices that a pro
Soldiers Should Get Paid More Than Athletes
Not everyone in this country fights for our freedoms and protection.Soldiers are the heroes who risk and give up freedoms for their country and they are brave people who don't just care for us to be entertained.They give us protection and freedoms so that others can entertain us like athletes.The world is not just about athletes entertaining us but about the freedoms we have in this country thanks to soldiers.I believe soldiers should be paid more for all that they do for there country and people living in it.Can you imagine life without freedoms.Well thanks to soldiers we don't have to worry about it.
Should Athletes Make More Money Than A Soldier
A CPL in the united states army only makes about $10-$13 an hour for defending our country really? I believe that a person defending our freedoms and our rights and keeping us safe should make more money than a person with a helmet defending a football. The average NFL player makes about $1.9 million per year for defending a football. On average 7.63 % out of 100,000 players sustained injuries from 2007-present. Only 8 football players have ever died from playing football. 2,356 died from 2001-present in 1 war alone.
To What Extent Should Soldiers Have To Do To Get More Money Than Soldiers
I think that athletes should get more money then soldiers. Therefore, the soldiers fight for their money but athletes work just as hard as the soldiers do. Professional players should get more because they generate money, intertain people, and make little kids dreams come true. The work that soldiers have to do to get money, athletes can do the same thing.
Military Vs Professional Athletes
Should the U.S. troops be paid more than professional athletes? Professional athletes are very wealthy and have a huge amount of fame. They are very entertaining when it comes to sports. The U.S. military is very important to this country. They protect us and give us the freedom we deserve. The military is of greater importance than professional athletes. The United States military needs to be paid more than them.
Persuasive Essay On Why Soldiers Are More Important Than Soldiers
Have you ever been so angry at the amounts of money that they give to the sports players compared to soldiers? Well be angry at yourself. You are the one who's giving them the money. And I bet you're also mad because all the money the sports players make goes into nice cars and houses. Not all of that is true. They also have big charity cases for great causes. Yes, I know. You have at least one more reason to back up that soldiers should make more money; they put their lives on the line everyday. I'll have you know that hundreds of professional sports players have died while playing. They put their life on the line for us to have entertainment, just like the soldiers do for our safety.
Analysis: Why An Athlete Should Make More Than A Man In Helmet
A question that is discussed throughout America,will be answered today. Should a man in a helmet protecting a ball make more than a man in a helmet protecting our country? My personal opinion is that an athlete should make more than an solider. Athletes play for money. Soldiers don't. They fight for their nation and its pride and safety. Yes,they should get paid more but i said no because i don't think the government would be able to afford it. If they did then they can become greedy and lose concentration. Due to that amount of money there will be a gigantic increase in the number of people joining the army. Soldiers will fight for money rather their country. I hope i never see that day. Soldiers aren't the only ones that put their life on
Why Are Athletes Overpaid
The professional athletes get paid millions to go play sports and just have fun and win a championship if they are really good and get paid millions. The athletes give us something to watch but, I don't think they should get paid millions.
Persuasive Essay On Should Athletes Get Overpaid
Although these athletes are extremely well at the professional sport they are playing, I do not think they should be getting paid tens of millions of dollars. They are being extremely overpaid for their "jobs". A great deal of humans are struggling to make enough money, while they are making millions a day.

Our fire safety training courses have been designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of fire-related hazards and controls in the workplace.
We provide two different levels of training.
Fire Safety Awareness. This is a three-hour level 1 course which should ideally be delivered to everybody in order to give a general understanding of fire-related hazards.
Fire Safety (Fire Warden). This six-hour level 2 course builds on the lessons learned during the awareness course. This course will help those with specific fire-related responsibilities such as Fire Wardens to better understand their role.
We also run a six-hour combined course for organisations with a mixture of delegates. During the morning all delegates will attend and learn the topics covered on the level 1 course. After lunch only the level 2 delegates will continue, to learn the additional topics covered here.
Please see below for more information on the courses and upcoming open course dates.
If you're looking for training to be delivered on your site get in touch with us and this can be arranged.
This course is split into two sections. The morning will be delivered as a Fire Safety Level 1 course after lunch, those with fire-related responsibilities will remain to undertake the additional topics covered during the Fire Safety (Fire Warden) Level 2 course.
This structure of courses is perfect for any organisations who want to train multiple delegates to different levels on the same day. Everybody in the organisation should be trained to level 1 standard and those with specific fire-related responsibilities should be trained to level 2 standard.
The morning session will cover the learning outcomes of Fire Safety Awareness Level 1.
The afternoon session will continue on to cover the additional learning outcomes of Fire Safety (Fire Warden) Level 2.


Our eyes can get damaged just as easily as any other body part. Various workplace hazards play a major role in causing eye injuries which could result in temporary or permanent vision loss. So it's vital to know how to adequately protect our eyes just like we would protect any other body part.
All employees, managers and employers, but particularly those that work with hazardous chemicals.
Payment Details Eye Safety: You will be charged €35.00 after submit.

Public Rights of Way and Modern Farming
Published on 24-11-2017 by Clare Williams
Public Rights of Ways (PRoW's) are a remnant from history when most journeys were done on foot or on horseback but can cause problems for modern farmers. There are 4 types of public rights of way: Footpaths allow walkers and "natural accompaniments" such as prams or dogs; Bridleways allow walkers horse riders and cyclists; Restricted Byways allow the same plus non-motorised transport such as horse and cart; and Byways Open to All Traffic (BOATS) allow all traffic. All PRoW's are show on OS maps and can be viewed in more detail on the Definitive Map held by each Local Authority.
Most routes were established generations ago but times change and some routes have been built over or are dead-ends. A PRoW running close to your farmyard can be restrictive when you want to extend a building over it or one through an arable field causes trouble when you need to keep it unobstructed. Before planning any new developments on your land it is essential to check that they won't affect a PRoW, and if they do then you will need to put measures in place to accommodate it. So what are your options?
A public right of way cannot be blocked without permission although it is possible to divert or extinguish paths where there is a good enough reason, although to extinguish a path completely it must be a very good reason. There is a strict legal procedure for this which must be followed, involving consulting the public and a list of consultees provided by your Local Authority and a subsequent Public Path Order under the Highways Act 1980 or the Town and Country Planning Act 1990. The type of procedure depends on why you want the footpath diverted, whether it be for a development of with no identified need. Applications are long winded and not guaranteed to be successful and could cost the applicant thousands of pounds.
A PRoW can be temporarily closed or diverted where use of the route would become a danger to the public or where works are being done close-by, but the maximum length of closure is 6 months.
For a longer-term solution to divert the flow of walkers in instances where PRoWs run directly past gardens or yards which owners would rather keep private, some landowners allow a Permissive Path on other land to offer as an alternative route. However, the PRoW is still in existence and the public right of use remains and should be kept unobstructed. Permissive Paths should be clearly signposted as 'by permission' and should be closed for at least 1 day a year to prevent it becoming a public right of way.
For more information about Public Right of Way diversions contact Clare Williams in our Welshpool office on 01938 554499.

Decay falls. Ptahhotep (ptāħ ħwtp), sometimes known as Ptahhotpe or Ptah-Hotep, was an ancient Egyptian official during the late 25th century BC and early 24th century BC. Ptahhotep was the city administrator and vizier (first minister) during the reign of Djedkare Isesi in the 5th Dynasty/5.

THE PRECEPTS OF PTAH-HOTEP. Translated by Philippe Virey. The most ancient book in the world, the Papyrus Prisse, now preserved in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris, has furnished us with the text of a treatise, famous on account of its antiquity, of the glimpse that it gives us into the moral ideas of ancient Egyptian society, and of the difficulties it offers to the translator.
The Instruction of Ptah-Hotep, the Oldest Book in the World. But with that in mind, there is one piece of ancient Egyptian literature that many people consider to be one of the oldest. For a long time it was proclaimed to be the oldest book in the world: The Instruction of Ptah-Hotep.
Also called The. Precepts of Ptah Hotep Even though The Precepts of Ptah Hotep is one of the oldest documents in the The Precepts of Ptah-hotep book, the precepts are still relevant to social StudyMode - Premium and Free Essays, Term Papers & Book Notes.
Ptah-hotep, therefore, is the oldest-known author, the oldest-known teacher, and his book is the oldest known in the world. These facts give a curious interest to the personality of the writer himself. Ptah-hotep's book presents him as a venerable sage who has reached the traditional maximum of Egyptian age, a hundred and ten years.

History of ancient Egypt may sometimes seem very distant, but people living thousands of years ago had many problems and feelings that trouble us today. During the Fifth Dynasty (2, B.C. – 2, B.C), Egyptian Vizier Ptahhotep, occasionally known as Ptahhotep I, Ptahhotpe or Ptah-Hotep wrote several instructions based on his wisdom and experiences.
Ancient Egyptian Scriptural Wisdom & Precepts of Ptah-Hotep, the Wise. Ptah-Hotep (a.k.a. Ptahhotep) was a man of great wisdom and calm understanding, a high officer-official to King Izezi ( BCE) of Dynasty five, and the author of the oldest morally instructive text to survive complete from Ancient Egypt (Kemet), thus in the world.
Even though The Precepts of Ptah Hotep is one of the oldest documents in the world, the precepts are still relevant to social customs today. To be more specific, the 19th precept is one that I agree with and believe is beneficial to everybody.
Ptahhotep, (flourished bce), vizier of ancient Egypt who attained high repute in wisdom literature. His treatise " The Maxims of Ptahhotep," probably the earliest large piece of Egyptian wisdom literature available to modern scholars, was written primarily for young men of influential families who would soon assume one of the higher civil offices.
THE PRECEPTS OF PTAH-HOTEP. Precepts of the prefect the feudal lord 1 Ptah-hotep, under the majesty of the king of the South and North, Assa, living eternally for ever.

Lost in time: Lift up our brother Sitawa and strike down indefinite incarceration
by Mutope DugumaPublished earlier on the SF Bayview and on Sitawa.org.
It's always hard to stomach news that is disheartening. To hear that a brother and comrade has suffered a stroke after spending countless years in solitary confinement, as well as being held on an indefinite sentence for an alleged crime he did not commit, is even more disheartening.
I need not stress the sorrow that is felt amongst the whole prison
Sitawa Nantambu Jamaa in July of 2018
population for our brother Sitawa Nantambu Jamaa, who, along with countless fearless prisoners, pioneered our Prison Human Rights Movement (PHRM) to the world's stage. We continue to see men and women incarcerated far too long – beyond anyone's imagination – and continue to be held indefinitely.
Our beloved brother Sitawa is amongst this class of men and women. The inhumane treatment of prisoners must end.
Our brother Sitawa and many others have suffered enough and should not continue to do so based on being given a life sentence that equals a civil death. Prior to 1968, under original Penal Code Section 2600, California prisoners suffered complete civil death, which means prisoners were stripped of all civil rights.
The prison system is actually covertly executing all of its lifers. The United States is the only country in the whole world that incarcerates people indefinitely – forcing them to spend the rest of their lives in prison. Men and women have been incarcerated for 35 years or more.
Many of these people are lost in time. They came to prison as youth in their teens and early 20s in the '60s, '70s and '80s. Yes, many of them were immature, many had no real direction, but they all became adults in the Amerikan prison system.
At present these prisoners, Baby Boomers, most of whom have survived decades of incarceration, are now between the ages of 60 and 80. Many of these senior citizens are wheelchair-bound or use assistive devices such as walking canes.
Like most seniors, many are on special medications, require special medical therapy for seniors, and suffer from aging illnesses of various sorts. I hear some say that a few manage to get around good at 70 years young.
Many say, yes, they should be in prison, and that may be true in some cases. Given the things they did in society, the way they carried themselves in the youth of their lives was utterly wrong and disrespectful, but that was decades ago when they were young! Decades!
They are now older, mature, grown, senior adults, who have fulfilled all requirements from various parole boards around the U.S. Multiple prisoners have complied with all laws, rules and regulations of the prison and carried themselves as role model human beings and in many cases have done so for decades.
Still, many of them are forced to remain in prison when the maximum amount of time on their sentence has long since expired. This is terrible and extremely cruel to force rehabilitated human beings to remain in bondage and especially when statistics clearly show that 90 percent of them are not returning to prison once released.
Sadly, 89 percent of prisoners across the US are Black and Mexican. From 1619 through the 1800s, the chattel slavery plantation concept lurks in the shadows like the Wizard of Oz.
This "behind the scenes" type strategy involves money laundering exclusively into white rural areas under the Prison Industrial Slave Complex (PISC). (That's where prisons were built during the height of mass incarceration, in small rural communities that had lost their economic base, where people were so desperate for jobs, they were willing to work in a prison. These were white communities with deep prejudice toward Blacks. – ed.)
Many of us may very well die in these man-made tombs. It should be stipulated that these deaths are in clear violation of the Eighth Amendment of the US Constitution, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment.
The suffering is indefinite where there exists no end to the punishment. Many have died, and many will continue to die where there is no remedy to resolve the cruel and unusual treatment of prisoners.
We must resist to end this cruel and unusual treatment of human beings and encourage our brother Sitawa, who is fighting for his life. We will fight for his freedom and the freedom of the thousands of men and women lost in time.
One Love, One Struggle,
Sitawa is recovering from a major stroke. Send him some love and light (Sitawa is currently housed near San Diego, mail will be forwarded):

BLACK AUGUST 2019: Homelessness
Is a result of a failed government. The people of the United States have already through countless protests, movements of all sorts, declared that housing is a human right, and every human should be afforded housing.
How is it in the 21st century 'We The People' see a homeless epidemic? Because of a failed government: local, state, and federal.
The politicians have always had a disconnect from their constituents…No politicians, regardless of the state, can justify or excuse the homelessness we the people are witnessing here in Amerika today.
How can you represent a district of people, as a city councilman or woman, mayor or governor and allow the people to reach such deterioration in astronomical numbers where the whole state begins to be affected by it?
The federal government has a responsibility to the many states it collects taxes, etc...from, to maintain the security of the country not just from the so-called bad guys...where the federal/state government has clearly misappropriated taxpayers funds by building what is known today as the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, PRISON INDUSTRIAL SLAVE COMPLEX, and MILITARIZED POLICE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX that is/has cost trillions of dollars for taxpayers annually.
Each of these industrial complexes has a common denominator, which is that they target humans for extermination; all one has to do is study their reason for existing. You may be wondering what this has to do with homelessness? Well anytime you allocate funds heavily in one area opposed to balancing the funds out to truly meet the needs of the people then there will be a neglect of some kind, and what we see in the homeless crisis is deliberate neglect and a result of a failed government.
The people have always been at the mercy of the government no matter how rich or poor they are, which is why we the people have to have one voice when it comes to human rights. If a government is allowed to supersede the people it governs, then the people have failed themselves. Adequate housing, food, water, etc. etc that sustains one's life is a human right!!!
It is not negotiable under any circumstances if we are going to use the failure of a person's social life as a justification for such homelessness ( i.e. addicts drugs and alcohol usage, inadequate wages or unemployment, etc. etc.) it should also be stipulated that the people have been bombarded with an influx of drugs into their communities where they have basically succumbed to chemical warfare. These chemical weapons have been allowed to enter our communities by the tons!!! Yet, taxpayers are paying trillions of dollars for many agencies annually:FBI, DEA, CIA, ATF, etc. etc.to protect them from that which is a threat to them...domestic terrorism, FBI; drugs, DEA; International threat, CIA; guns and alcohol ATF, each of these entities are failures. We have seen countless mass shootings occur in this country, we have seen drugs decimate our communities, and an influx of assault weapons into our neighborhoods at alarming rates. These agencies are responsible for protecting the Amerikan people from these threats that claim countless lives. Why is this government continuing to fund such agencies when it is obvious they are complete failures? So much money, energy and time wasted to these agencies when it is obvious that they are failures. To massively incarcerate people for drug use or possession of any sort is part of the problem that leads to homelessness. We see that drug users only hurt themselves for the most part. Housing is a human right that all humans should demand be given to everyone under the sun.
Love and Respect,

The Nigger in the 'nigger' Syndrome
October 2015 revised 01/01/2019
The 'Nigger' in the 'nigger' syndrome is a disease that has been cultivated in the psyche of New Afrikans (i.e; Blacks) who for years have been morally compromised to the point of demoralization where they/we lose just about every sense of our morality. I believe that the only way to morally destroy a people is to take away their sense of understanding, of what is right and wrong. This deprives them of moral conduct which leads to being principled, righteous men and women.
The 'Nigger in the nigger syndrome' is about understanding that this word'nigger' has a serious reason for its usage. Which is to demean, devalue, degrade and dehumanize Afrikan/ New Afrikan People, no matter where they exist in the world. It is a weapon used to manifest behavior in these targeted human beings.
We now see the 'Nigger in the nigger syndrome' being carried out as a lifestyle in all groups to some degree. Proving that these are not mere derogatory terms, but instead, are a malignant social and psychological orientation and indoctrination that conditions you inside the many subcultures, ghettos, barrios, trailer parks, and rural, impoverished communities, where people are subjugated, marginalized and exploited to be dysfunctional, mentally diseased, immoral.
It's important to reflect on how you, the individual use the term nigger or nigga, even if it's briefly, in association with your actual behavior. The'Nigger in the nigger syndrome,' is conditioning tied to a malignant social disorder where those who use the word "nigger" do so openly with pride.
We can go all the way back to the slave plantations where our ancestors were domestically colonized, and the word 'nigger' was used to dehumanize. Since that time, we have struggled with our identity as a people as we resisted numerous derogatory terms throughout our New Afrikan historical origins since 1619, where the following terms were used to identify us as a people: nigger, negro, colored, black, Afro-American and Afrikan Amerikan.
We would have these terms linger throughout our struggles in the United States that would exacerbate our identity crisis as a people. Through our own social, political and ideological development we would identify ourselves based on our historical contradiction in racist Amerika. In 1968, the term New Afrikans was coined or formulated by political (nationalist) theoretician for the purpose of scientifically basing and defining
the actual national identity of our people, who comprise a subjugated nation (i.e., domestic colonized nation).
The term 'nigger' would be used in oppressed communities throughout Amerika, while at the same time, glamorized in the Blaxploitation movies, where most of the infamous celebrities would use this derogatory term, making it socially and culturally acceptable, by providing a functional application as to how a 'nigger' should act, think and look, which in my personal opinion was part of the conditioning of our people around a malignant social disorder, that led to the dysfunctional behavior and demoralization so prevalent among us today.
When you see or hear people who suffer from the 'Nigger in the nigger syndrome, they have no moral compass for the most part. Case and point: In a discussion with some Brothers who are possessed with the 'Nigger in the nigger' syndrome, I asked why we don't look down on pimping when the pimp is the predator that preys on young teenage girls and women? Their responses demonstrated that they were very misogynistic toward women. To accept the Pimp Culture means that we do not value the women in our family and extended community. Any time we embrace something as a lifestyle, it becomes part of our culture, and if it's malignant, then it becomes a detriment to us as a people. The 'Nigger in the nigger' syndrome accepts just about anything immoral, foul, disgusting because they have been demoralized.
Therefore, the very word Nigger has manifested inside the user of the word Nigger that accepts a lifestyle that is immoral. Even in our contradictions as so called 'gangstas' we rejected the 'pimp,' because we knew, he or she was a predator on our women folks in particular. When did we start hating women? Is it that we have been dehumanized so badly that we cannot regain our humanity? The Nigger in the Nigger syndrome is a disease because it has demoralized many of us as a people and it has to be diagnosed in all of us who have been compromised by this disease. The first step to being diagnosed is to understand that your use of the word 'nigger,' casually, whether it's an endearment from your perspective or not, represents everything we are not, as a people.
Most of our oppressed people in and out of prisons have no consciousness of the dehumanizing aspect of the word Nigger because most are unfortunately unaware of the 'Nigger in the nigger,'syndrome!!! Take or make a moral assessment of yourself and reclassify yourself as New Afrikans which will be a reflection of our new morality.

End Prison Draconian Policies
By Mutope Duguma
It's no secret that the government, whether local, state and federal have been complicit in the exploitation of prisoners, where the political, judicial and prison industrial slave complex have all signed up to exploit the poorest citizens of this nation. But, before I go into the essence of this story, let me speak to what motivated me to write it.
I was recently placed back in solitary confinement for mistaken identity, where I was placed in cell with a youngster name of Jamico Wright, who was sentenced to 13 years, for an alleged robbery. Normally youngsters like Brutha Wright would ask me to help them with their 602 appeal, on their solitary confinement placement. Yet, Brutha Wright was seriously agonizing over how the state is charging him $23,113.39 restitution in association with his alleged crime. I would learn that Brutha Wright, is like most youngsters who came out of humble beginnings (i.e., impoverished communities), single parent homes, foster care at a young age, then to the streets, where they are forced into a world of their making.
I wasn't surprised in the least bit, of Brutha Wright's story, because like most prisoners (men/women) held in prisons, they share similar stories. Brutha Wright came to prison at 19 years of age, on July 26, 2011, for his alleged offense, and, what's different about Brutha Wright is that he gets it, and actually took steps to do something about it, where he became a certified plumber (May, 2014), earning himself a trade. More remarkable, he earned an AA Degree in Business Management, July 17, 2017, demonstrating that he has done just about everything consistent with rehabilitating himself. Sadly, Brutha Wright would learn that he will be unable to utilize his AA Degree while incarcerated. He was given 85% of that 13 year sentence, which is 11 years and 5 months.
The new sentencing laws enacted in the 1980s and 1990s would make sure that young prisoners did 85% of their time, when the government conspired to massively incarcerate its poor citizens of this nation. Brutha Wright would still have six years to serve on his 13 years. He, like many of us held indefinitely in Amerikkka's prisons will have to navigate through the inhumane conditions of prison life.
This story isn't about time, but instead, it's about how you have a young man like Brutha Wright, who has gotten an AA Degree in Business, and owes the state $23,113.39, of which he has paid $1,768.39; money he received from working class citizens, who are working minimum wage jobs; family members, friends, etc. The state charges him 55% of each dollar he receives, meaning, if he gets any money for commissary, for example, if his (poor) Mother sent him $25.00 for hygiene when he gets the money it will be reduced to $11.25. If he had a medical condition and sent in a CDCR-7362 medical form he would be charged a co-payment fee of $5.00 for every medical slip he submits – that would be immediately removed from his trust account statement, leaving him with $6.25 of that $25.00. If he had legal fees of any kind, they would be deducted from those fees, as well. If he submitted a dental form, he would be charged a $5.00 co-payment charge, leaving him with a $1.25, of that $25.00, which is why so many youngsters refuse their dental/mental care in prisons: because they choose hygiene and food over dental or medical care, when they actually have funds on their trust account!!!
We older prisoners didn't get charged with astronomical debt. Our restitution was $100.00 to $200.00. The restitution that these youngsters are being asked to pay is ridiculous, and the 50% is supposed to be paid to all alleged victims, whereas, 89% of the cases never received one penny of the restitution fees collected. CDCr trust office adds 5% charging fees for removing the fund off your trust account. This adding if you file a civil complaint (i.e., lawsuit) about prison conditions, etc. You would pay a $450.00 filing fee. If you continue to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeal you will pay another filing fee of $505.00. They initially charge you 20% of each dollar you have in your account, so if you have $200.00 in your account. They're taking 20% of that which is $40.00 and they will do this every month 'til you have paid what you owe because incarcerating prisoners is big business, and the exploitation of California Tax Payers, where they pay $14 Billion dollars a year to maintain its 34 prisons. This is real money spent.
I understand that we live in a capitalist country that exploits all forms of life from humans, to animals, etc., etc., for profit!!! But, what's cruel in this form of exploitation in respects to prison, is that prisoners like Brutha Wright are restricted from creating businesses, or using their creative talent, whether it be their art work, rap songs, writings, movie scripts, etc., etc., from legally making a profit while they are incarcerated, per CCR Title 15. Yet, they have many taxes being imposed upon them. Prisoners should be encouraged to find creative ways to market their talents for a profit. Yet! they are charged for restitution and other fees, then told that you can't involve yourself in any profit earning businesses. This is a perfect way to encourage hopelessness in men and women held in prisons… while you feed on them by exploiting them for the crumbs they receive. Brutha Wright and many more just like him, have to wait 'til they parole before they can begin to pay on their monetary debt to society, that would for sure burden them in their attempt to be re-assimilated back into the so-called free world, where they for sure would be at a disadvantage simply because they are starting in debt, where their checks would be garnished for that 55% accordingly in keeping up with their restitution.
We all know that prison working wages start at 3 cents to 15 cents an hour, which usually turns out to be $11. to $20. per month, and then 55 % of that is then taken for restitution. Slavery in the 21st century is real, and I personally feel that the cruelty in this exploitation is in the hopelessness it produces in each and every prisoner. This practice has to be abolished because it would further influence recidivism. With these debts prisoners have to be able to earn a decent wage while incarcerated, so they can begin to pay off their restitution, now, or end their restitution all together. These types of policies are counterproductive and only hurt the prisoners and their families. Can you imagine doing a decade or two with a $30,000 dollar debt to pay when you get out??? If this is not 'cruel and unusual then what is!!!?

Q: How to perform custom shed lock? Scenario: I have 5 aeroplanes. I need their information every 5 minutes using GET REST API. My app is deployed to multiple instances.
With the default database Shedlock, the entire database table is locked for a single record. I want to have a custom lock mechanism where I can lock it for 5 airplanes at a same time based on lockedBy, lockedUntil, aeroplaneId, scheduledTime. Hence prevent duplicates from multiple instances.

Tape Day at the Science Museum of Minnesota
Saturday, May 2, is Tape Day at the Science Museum of Minnesota
From 12:00 - 4:00 I will be demonstrating tape sculpture techniques, and showing some of my tape sculptures.
Animals, bowls, masks, and my large scale Chinese dragon will be on display.
It's been a lot of fun getting ready for this show. Tape definitely has its limitations as a sculpture material--but there's also a lot you can create from a basic, flat, adhesive strap.
...is a pretty big deal here in Minnesota. We have it now. The blossoms in my yard are there to show me that. But, yes, there was a scattering of horizontally driven snow today just to remind us: this year we have it good.
I redid my webpages today. Partially in honor of the day, partially because... these pages remain lamentable hand-made, and once the html gets a bit loony, there's no going back.
So--green, at least for now. On these pages and out my window.
Tapescape
The Science Museum of Minnesota is running a wonderful exhibit titled Tapescape, from now until May 10. Tapescape, sponsored by 3M (who donated all the tape products used) is both a wonderful play structure and an opportunity to create sculptures with all-the-tape-you-could-ask-for.
Tapescape is the brainchild of artist/architect Eric Lennartson, who is having the fun that a good artist deserves, installing these structures in science museums across the country. The exhibit uses math and engineering to give shapes to its art (many of the shapes in TapeScape are 3D mathematical forms like parabolas, circles, and ellipses).
For me, after a jaunt through the tubes, the real attraction was the building table. Anyone can stop by and build a sculpture out of tape--to take home, or donate to the weekly collaborative sculpture. This is pretty much my definition of a heavenly way to spend a Saturday afternoon...
Laying on the stripes...

At my semi-regular solo lunch at the pizza place below my office ($5 spaghetti & meatballs!…Tuesdays only), I was reading the latest Audubon Magazine—the Bird Photography Awards issue. Some amazing photos were chosen as top winners; The one that stood out to me was an incredible shot of a flying Peregrine Falcon with a living, and quite shocked, shorebird clutched tightly in its talons.
But then I read a sidebar that said the Top 100 images were in a slideshow online. I had entered five or so images last fall but had almost forgotten about my entry until a copy of the magazine showed up in our mailbox. You see, Audubon cleverly put a $25 fee on all entries, which included a 1-year subscription/membership in Audubon. Very clever.
I made the image on a sweltering hot April day at a ranch right on the U.S.-Mexico border at Krenmueller Farms, or as I call it, "Grandma Trudy's Place" ….She and her husband own the several-thousand-acre spread which includes a 'resaca,' an old isolated river bend (oxbow lake) of the Rio Grande.
Yes, I stuck the branch in the muck as there weren't many decent perches for the herons to use. And within minutes of crawling back in to the blind (which was probably 120 degrees inside), birds started fighting over the perch. First a Great-tailed Grackle used it, then a Ringed Kingfisher, and then a Black-crowned Night-Heron set up shop. Finally this breeding-plumaged Tricolored Heron flew in and displaced the much smaller Black-crowned.
I was using Ryan Marshik's Canon 500mm f4 which helped turn the spring green cattail leaves in the background into a beautiful dreamy green blur. This image also won 1st Place in the Bird Division of the Valley Land Fund Texas Shootout in 2006.
Canon 10D, Canon 500mm f4, I believe it was f5.6, tripod, pop-up blind.
Congratulations! I've always considered it a special day when I've been able to see any of the herons in breeding plumage. Your tri-colored is gorgeous.
