Having built and executed content linking campaigns for 7 years for consumer oriented content sites, I've found that most brand web sites fail to provide the type of content that engenders, inspires, or encourages other sites to link to them, or online editors to write about them. I call this concept "linkability". Some sites have a lot of it, others have very little. Linkability can be thought of as a continuum.
The National Library of Medicine web site has thousands of links pointing to various pages of their site. Why? Because they have great content and easily located and short URLs. They are on the high end of the linkability continuum. On the low end are sites with little content or with content that's hidden within databases or behind pull down menus or within Flash design elements.
Ironically, I have also had cases where I worked with sites that did have excellent content, but whose sites were designed in such a way as to make linking to that great content impossible. Like locking away an encyclopedia in a safe.
One major print magazine had a web site where they posted all their articles from the print magazine to the web site after the print issue was 60 days old. Doing this makes sense for them. The problem was that all the articles were buried within a database that could not be linked to in any way, thus negating one of the web's greatest powers; linking from one page to another. The URLs for these articles changed with every page load, further limiting the chance for pass along of the URLs from one person to another via email, discussion lists, etc., since the URL you sent for that great article you were reading would not work for me when I clicked it.
These and other linkability problems are both important and correctable. There are some key site architecture issues to consider from a linking perspective, just as there are from a SEO (Search Engine Optimization) perspective.
But before focusing on site architecture issues, remember that the key driver of links is and always will be the quality of the content. People run web sites, and those people make linking decisions every day. Some sites don't offer links, others do. Some sites want money for links, others don't. Some sites want links back to them in return, others don't. For every web site, there are a collection of online venues (search engines, directories, web guides, topical link lists, discussion lists, writers, etc., that may link to it, based on the subject matter and content quality. The challenge is finding them and contacting them properly.
Until next time, I remain,

For the past few years I have chosen a word to define and shape my year. In years past I have chosen Yes, Love, Boldness. This year was the year of Stretch.
It has been a year of ups and downs. Of grieving the loss of lives gone too soon, and others at the end of years of battling illnesses. A year of medical diagnosis', witnessing the fragility of health. A year of evolving friendships, some getting closer while others stagnated.
It has been a year of changes at work. Adjusting to a new boss, being challenged with my writing. Finally being offered a new job in ministry with kids. A lesson in what God does through me, shows more than I ever believed.
It has been a year of gaining weight and finding myself searching for motivation to eat well and exercise.
Seeing God work through all of that and work in me too. Forcing me to face my neediness and jealousy issues. To pull back the layers of the why behind it all.
By choosing a word for the past few years, it has allowed for clarity. For me to view and process through it.

The Prayag Kumbh Mela is a mela held every 12 years at Allahabad (officially known as Prayagraj), India. The exact date is determined according to Hindu astrology: the Mela is held when Jupiter is in Taurus and the sun and the moon are in Capricorn.[1] The fair involves ritual bathing at Triveni Sangam, the meeting points of three rivers: the Ganga, the Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati. The Kumbh Mela in 2013 became the largest religious gathering in the world with almost 120 million visitors. The next one is scheduled for 2025, with an ongoing Ardh Kumbh Mela in 2019.
The Mela is one of the four fairs traditionally recognized as Kumbh Melas. An annual fair, known as Magh Mela, has been held in Allahabad since ancient times (early centuries CE), and is mentioned in the Puranas. However, the earliest mention of a Kumbh Mela at Allahabad occurs only after the mid-19th century. The Prayagwallas (local Brahmins of Prayag) are believed to have adopted the kumbha myth and the 12-year cycle of the Haridwar Kumbh Mela for their annual Magh Mela around this time. Since then, every 12 years, the Magh Mela turns into a Kumbh Mela, and six years after a Kumbh Mela, it turns into an Ardh Kumbh ("Half Kumbh") Mela.
According to Hindu mythology, Vishnu dropped drops of amrita (the drink of immortality) at four places, while transporting it in a kumbha (pot). These four places, including Allahabad, are identified as the present-day sites of the Kumbh Mela. The river-side fair at Allahabad is centuries old, but its association with the kumbh myth and a 12-year old cycle dates back to the 19th century. The priests of Allahabad borrowed these concepts from the Haridwar Kumbh Mela and applied it to their local Magh Mela, an annual celebration. The Magh Mela probably dates back to the early centuries CE, and has been mentioned in several Puranas.
- Maintaining of the neatness and cleanliness at the place. Special attention was paid to the availability of washrooms, restrooms and changing rooms at the Kumbh Mela. Every year a population of about 15 crore visits Kumbh which is more than the total population of two-three countries. This means that maintaining hygiene is the most essential element so that the pilgrims do not face any issues.
- There are various pandals at Kumbh where different states have brought out the creative side and also they have displayed their respective manuscripts. They were at a great distance from each other.
- The decorations were made in accordance with the sentiments of the people visiting kumbh. The decorations completely depicted the entire story and history of Kumbh and the one who doesn't know anything about Kumbh would also come to know about it.
- The flowers and offerings that were being offered to the holy waters were immediately cleaned so as to maintain cleanliness in the waters of the holy Sangam.
- There was proper availability of drinkable water and prasadam at regular intervals so as to ensure that the pilgrims do not feel inconvenient.
- They made a world record at the largest "parades of buses", most people sweeping the floor" and "most contributions to handprint painting in 8 hours".
- Kumbh not only ensured women empowerment by making paintings and conducting competitions.

The Wildcats hit the road for the first time in 2017 as they headed to Briar Cliff University in Sioux City, Iowa on Friday afternoon.
The Chargers put JWU's Katelyn Peters (Brighton, Colo.) to the test early in the contest with a shot on goal in the third minute, but Peters came up with the stop to hold off the early attempt. Briar Cliff continued to look for an early goal with Peters stepping up to three more saves in the opening 20 minutes. After 45 minutes of play, the two teams entered the break with a 0-0 draw on the table. In the second half, the Chargers put one in the back of the net with a shot by Makenna Taylor in the 47th minute.
Chloe Arredondo (Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.) put a shot on goal that BCU's Libby Havenridge made the save on to keep the 'Cats off the board. The Chargers added their second of the game in the 67th minute but continued to press for more. Peters made four more saves before the Chargers added a third goal from the penalty spot in the 83rd minute.
The Wildcats were held to two shots on goal in the contest and Peters made 10 saves for the Wildcats.
Johnson & Wales will take on Morningside College on Sunday in Sioux City to wrap up their roadtrip.

Date & Time
Monday September 12th
6:00 – 7:15 pm
About The Meditation
Who is Guru Ram Das? Guru Ram Das was a saint living in the 16th Century, the fourth Guru from the Sikh faith. Guru Ram Das embodied humility, service, grace, and deep devotion. In the lineage of Kundalini Yoga, our teacher Yogi Bhajan considered Guru Ram Das to be his personal teacher and connected deeply with him in spirit.
We chant the mantra "Guru Guru Wahe Guru, Guru Ram Das Guru" to call on the spirit of humility and grace embodied by Guru Ram Das. This is a mantra of self-healing, humility, relaxation, protective grace, and emotional relief. The first part of the mantra, Guru Guru Wahe Guru, projects the mind to the Infinite, the source of knowledge and ecstasy. The second part, Guru Ram Das Guru, means "the wisdom that comes as a servant of the Infinite." This mantra projects the mind to the Infinite and then brings finite guidance on a practical level.
Our favourite version of the mantra is below. Press play and chant along when you want to invoke healing for yourself and loved ones.
About the Teacher
Born in Guru Ram Das ashram in Toronto, Gurushabd grew up in a spiritual community of Kundalini Yogis, healers, teachers, and Sikhs. When she was 13 Gurushabd spent a year studying at a yogic school in India. She became a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher at the age of 17 and has been teaching ever since. As a teacher Gurushabd is known for her open-heart, sweetness, and grace, combined with a depth of wisdom beyond her years. She is the owner and director of Lotus Yoga Centre.

The Tall Flower Meadow is well into fade.
While the forest is gearing up for show time. The Virginia Creeper that climbs so many trees is one of the first to turn.
The Blue Asters will linger well into fall.
And the colors of the Lush will fade to brown, yellow and amber. A hard frost will hurry things along.
There is no frost in the diagnosis yet. That leaves the possibility of some fall color in the herbaceous plants.
In a good season the forest can get this vibrant. But you never know what you are going to get until it gets here.
The slide into autumn
When the color green loses dominance
Is about to arrive.

Nature's Grand Symphony Orchestra has many performers, some who will play on, as some have already begun to store their instruments. A very few will solo well into winter, such as some of the grasses have shown. Your conductor's skill is so evident.

Our Stateside colleagues have been facing potentially disastrous limitation of their access priviledges thanks to a new Bureau of Land Management plan.
The plan had lumped them together with 4×4's and motorbikes as "Off Highway Vehicles" but after a massive IMBA led petition from over 12,000 US bikers, they are now planning a seperate strategy for bikes.
Bob Ratcliffe, BLM's deputy group manager for recreation commented "We have decided to pursue a separate strategy for mountain biking because there are enough unique differences. We'd really like to elevate our recognition of mountain biking and include them in our planning process."
Though this is exactly what is happening in the enlightened corridors of Welsh power after the success of Coed-y-Brenin it makes a stark contrast to the complete ignoring of mountain bikers in the recent "right to roam" legislation.
Perhaps it's time to start our own grouping (besides the CTC) to represent mountain bikers in the broader political spectrum, before getting left out of planning strategies becomes a permanent state.

Prioritize teachers' training, DepEd asked
The Teachers' Dignity Coalition (TDC) on Monday asked the Department of Education (DepEd) to prioritize the training of teachers and orienting parents as it prepares the whole system for school year 2020-2021.
"The scheduled reopening of classes (24 August) is less than a week from 18 August, the initial target date to end the modified enhanced community quarantine (MECQ)," Benjo Basas, the group's national chairman, said in a statement.
The group also asked DepEd to strictly observe work from home set up in areas under MECQ.
"The appeal from several groups of health professionals to revert to a stricter quarantine category and the response of the Malacañang to put Metro Manila and nearby provinces under MECQ attest to the fact that this Covid-19 pandemic is far from being controlled. It also says that everybody needs to contribute to minimize the movement of the people to prevent the further spread of the disease," Basas said.
Over the weekend, the Philippines recorded a total of more than over 100,000 cases and ranked 10th in the whole of Asia, even surpassing China.
"There are also confirmed cases of Covid-19 infection in DepEd personnel which attributed to the performance of their tasks in schools or offices," Basas noted.
The TDC called on the DepEd management to stand firm by its own directive contained in DepEd Order 11, s. 2020 that teachers, as long as practicable should render their tasks at home and the option for physical or onsite reporting is discouraged and may only be used in exceptional cases.

Fill up teacher vacancies, DepEd urged
Senators have urged the Department of Education (DepEd) to fill up the 55,807 vacant positions which were compensated by the 2020 national budget.
In different statements, Senators Francis Pangilinan and Sherwin Gatchalian pointed out the crucial role of teachers in implementing blended learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to DepEd, currently, there are 55,807 unfilled positions of which around 34,000 are Teacher I, II, III posts.
The Education Department recently disclosed that they are requesting additional 10,000 posts under the proposed 2021 national budget.
For Gatchalian, DepEd should prioritize hiring teachers for unfilled positions especially now that private school teachers are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I think it's better to fill it (34,000 teaching positions) up first before we hire again so that we can use the savings for other purposes," Gatchalian said.
The Education Department can address these unfilled positions by hiring around 4,000 teachers affected by the suspension of operations of around 865 private schools this year due to the pandemic.
"I would like to urge the Department to hasten the hiring of those displaced teachers, since there are 34,000 teaching positions available. It will help them continue their work and bring home something to their families," Gatchalian, who chairs the Senate Basic Education Committee, added.
For Pangilinan, this will help teachers continue their profession amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Sufficient human resources in the education system is as crucial these days, especially when we are embarking on blended learning," Pangilinan also pointed out.
Blended learning will also be successful if DepEd will assure that there are additional budget for teaching and non-teaching personnel's needs.
He cited DepEd's August 2020 Learner Enrollment Survey which showed that 50 percent of learners prefer the use of printed modules in the conduct of distance learning for the upcoming school year.
"This early, we have been hearing from DepEd officials about the lack of funds for the printing of modules and the scenario of sharing of the printed copy among students," Pangilinan said.
"This has to be addressed as this could pose health risks to both the teachers and students. Knowing, too, how devoted our teachers are to their vow, it is not far-fetched that they would initiate producing the extra copies of the modules out of their own pockets. Our teachers deserve better treatment from the government," he stressed.
DepEd will be getting the lion's share of the proposed 2021 national budget with a total allocation of P754.4 billion.
This is followed by the Departments of Public Works and Highways with a proposed budget of P667.3 billion; Interior and Local Government, P246.1 billion; National Defense, P209.1 billion; Health and its attached agencies, P203.1 billion; Social Welfare and Development, P171.2 billion; Transportation, P143.6 billion; Agriculture, P66.4 billion; Judiciary, P43.5 billion; and Labor and Employment, P27.5 billion.

Seafarers stuck in HK seek help
A group of seafarers is seeking the help of the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE), Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) as they are now stranded in Hong Kong Port sans three months compensation, while one was held in captivity in his cabin due to an alleged crime.
In an information exclusively disclosed by the United Filipino Seafarers (UFS) to the Daily Tribune, it said the 16 Filipino crew are now presently trapped inside a Greek registered Bulk carrier vessel Angelic Glory, which is now anchored in Hong Kong.
Engr. Nelson Ramirez, UFS president, said one of the seafarers, identified as Rico Guarnes, asked the union's help through Facebook messenger, and said that he was held in captivity in the same vessel.
"He told me that the ship captain ordered his arrest because seaman Guarnes allegedly told the chief cook to stab his co-seafarer. He is now detained in his cabin, handcuffed since 7 September. Guarnes also told me he is eating while shackled and well-guarded," according to Ramirez.
Beside this, Ramirez said these 16 seafarers are not receiving compensation since July, manifested in a demand letter wired to him.
"They sent me a copy of the demand letter directed to their manning agency and ship captain to ask for the release of their compensation for the months of July, August and September. The mandatory allotment meant for their families here in the Philippines, were also not received by their spouses. They are also worried about the condition of their families here," according to Ramirez.
The Daily Tribune secured a copy of the demand letter, undersigned by those 16 seafarers, addressed to Angelic Glory Ship Master Konstantinos Triantis; Panthalassa Maritime Corporation; Grimaldi Marine Partners in Monaco; and Capt. Joselito Navales of Magsaysay Maritime Corporation, dated 1 September.
The 16 Filipino crew are now presently trapped inside a Greek registered Bulk carrier vessel Angelic Glory, which is now anchored in Hong Kong.
"Amid pandemic, imagine the stress and anxiety that these seafarers are experiencing. The detained seafarer told me that her wife was just released from the hospital. I hope the authorities here and their manning agency will be able to rescue or help them," Ramirez told the Daily Tribune.

Ensure blended learning quality, Go asks
Education authorities and institutions have been asked to ensure the quality and appropriateness of learning modules while implementing blended learning techniques amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Senator Christopher "Bong" Go made the suggestion after a learning material using what is perceived as "provocative'' and "malicious" content went viral on social media. He then sternly warned individuals responsible for provocative content in learning modules.
"This has reached the attention of President Duterte and he wants those responsible to be charged," he said.
Go cited that in blended learning, students are required to adjust to new learning techniques through a mix of online classes and prepared modules provided to them as alternatives to a traditional classroom set-up.
With relatively limited guidance from teachers, he emphasized that the accuracy and appropriateness of learning materials provided through modules must meet quality standards for blended learning to work.
Go pointed out that with the recently enacted Republic Act 11476, or GMRC and Values Education Act, values formation must be at the core of education and not simply be an additional subject or requirement.
"Learning modules must adhere to set standards. They must be child-friendly, appropriate, and teaches good values," Go said.
Meanwhile, the Department of Education (DepEd) has already disowned the provocative materials that went viral recently, saying that they were not created by the department. Education Secretary Leonor Briones, however, assured that they will take action on this matter.
After an initial investigation, DepEd found out that a private Catholic school in Zambales, Carmel Academy of Palauig Inc., used the controversial module.
The Philippine National Police initially reported that the preparation, review, final printing and distribution of all learning materials, including the viral module, were all made by the Association of Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Iba (ACSDI).
In a report of the Zambales Schools Division Superintendent to the regional office of DepEd, the said modules were developed by member schools of ACSDI and submitted to the latter for reproduction.
A subsequent progress report reflects that DepEd — Zambales has issued a memorandum stating that Rev. Fr. Reymann Catindig, Superintendent of the ACSDI, has apologized for the modules on behalf of the association.
He has also vowed to strengthen the implementation of their guidelines regarding the writing of the modules. The teacher and writer of the modules had also both apologized for the learning materials. The modules have now been retrieved for editing.
Meanwhile, Go manifested full support to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), its attached agencies and corporations during the Senate Committee on Finance hearing on the 20201 budget.
"In these trying times, DTI has been instrumental in extending assistance to our beloved countrymen who are deeply affected by the current pandemic. I urge the DTI, its attached agencies and corporations to continue and improve their services to our beloved countrymen," he said.
He enumerated some of the notable programs which helped alleviate the plight of medium, small and micro-enterprises.
"The DTI also helped avert the food shortage in the ongoing pandemic through maintaining the inventory levels of major food categories," Go said.
"Finally, DTI has been a prime pillar in responding to the current pandemic. It increased the supply of critical products and enforced the imposition of a price freeze on basic necessities and commodities," he added.

Stranded OFW from China back today
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) on Monday confirmed that 19 overseas Filipino workers (OFW) stranded in China since the onset of the pandemic will arrive in the Philippines by early morning today.
In a statement, DFA Undersecretary Sarah Arriola said that it includes the 11 stranded seafarers from the Ocean Star 86 who have been stuck at sea since March as well as five other seafarers from M/V Maria P. who are also stranded in Ningdu since July.
The vessels have been affected by China's 'no disembarkation' policy which was imposed as a precautionary measure against the coronavirus disease.
The DFA disclosed that the sailors to be repatriated will be in Manila around 1 a.m. on board a chartered flight, adding that 11 of the 16 seafarers are from Ocean Star 86, who have been docked in Dongshan since March 2020.
It also noted that they will be joined by five seafarers on board M/V Maria P., who have been stranded in Ningde since July 2020.
In addition, DFA said that three other land-based OFW will likewise be joining the chartered repatriation flight after being unable to go home due to unavailability of commercial flights.
The department assured that the condition of the seafarers had been monitored through the Philippine Consulate General in Xiamen such that assistance were distributed.
It added that the Philippine Consulate General in Xiamen has been providing them welfare assistance and ensured that their salaries and other entitlements are provided for by their employer.
As thousands of Filipino workers abroad were left stranded after losing their jobs due to the pandemic, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered the DFA to ensure that all of them will be brought home safely at once.
Since February of this year, 195,225 came back to Manila through various chartered flights organized by the department. Of this figure, 67,000 are sea-based while 127,000 are land-based.

DENR shares ecosystems research findings online
An online platform providing public access to various significant studies on environment and natural resources has been launched by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) through its Ecosystems Research and Development Bureau (ERDB).
The platform, according to Environment Secretary Roy A. Cimatu, hosts various ERDB research findings and scientific publications that proved crucial in formulating DENR programs, policies, and decisions for the protection and conservation of the environment.
"As Secretary of the DENR, I am very pleased that through the collective efforts of the scientists, experts, researchers, and employees of the ERDB, the Department gets to understand more about our environment and every little (thing) that goes with it," he said.
Cimatu's speech was delivered by Undersecretary for Legal, Administration, Human Resources, and Legislative Affairs Ernesto D. Adobo, Jr. during the virtual launch of the online platform via Facebook live last 15 September.
"They spend months, even years, doing rigorous research to provide the Department with the scientific knowledge that we need," he added.
The research materials can now be downloaded from the ERDB's official website, https://erdb.denr.gov.ph/.
Among those that can be downloaded from the website are Sylvatrop, Canopy International, and Research Information Series on Ecosystems or RISE.
Sylvatrop is the DENR's official technical journal for new and original scientific information and research breakthroughs on ecosystems and natural resources, while Canopy International is a semi-technical publication on science-based stories about ecosystems issues and solutions.
RISE, on the other hand, is a compilation of pertinent knowledge on the propagation and planting techniques of important indigenous reforestation species to help students and researchers save these species from extinction.
Cimatu said the online platform is one of the innovative ways of the DENR to reach the public, especially amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"Even in the midst of a pandemic, this is our response to the growing demand for information that may empower us Filipinos into achieving sustainable growth and development," he stressed.
The DENR chief also noted how research is vital to the agency's strategic programs and policies that help address major environmental problems in the country.
"This pool of knowledge serves as a vehicle to allow us to move further. Science helps us arrive at more informed decisions. It tells us what to do next, which steps to take, and how far we will go. This is how we use knowledge in the DENR as a fuel towards growth and productivity," he pointed out.

NCR quarantine fate up in air
The Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) would decide this week if Metro Manila and other areas under general community quarantine (GCQ) would be placed under a more lenient lockdown status.
Presidential spokesperson Harry Roque confirmed on Sunday that the IATF, which serves as the government's policy-making body on pandemic response, would convene this week to discuss the matter.
Business groups, as well as Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez, have been pushing to place the capital region under modified GCQ to allow the reopening of more businesses and public transportation.
Under modified GCQ, public gatherings such as movie screenings, concerts, sporting events and other entertainment activities are allowed, but participants may fill no more than half of the capacity of the venue.
The same rule applies to religious gatherings, community assemblies and non-essential work gatherings.
However, researchers and analysts from the University of the Philippines (UP) have warned that a premature easing of GCQ in Metro Manila would lead to an "exponential" rise come Christmas time.
The UP group said in a report that while the situation in the capital region has "improved," it has yet to achieve the 28-day case doubling time set by the IATF as a prerequisite to shift into modified GCQ status.
The GCQ status in Metro Manila would lapse by the end of the month and President Rodrigo Duterte is expected to announce his decision on the quarantine level on or before Wednesday.
Metro Manila is the region that has stayed the longest under GCQ for nearly four months, a quarantine classification which allows public transportation and most industries but prohibits tourism activities, entertainment events and large mass gatherings.
Of the 61,766 active COVID-19 cases in the Philippines as of Saturday, Metro Manila accounts for 45 percent of the number with 28,010 infections.
Apart from the capital region, other areas under GCQ until the end-September are Bulacan, Batangas and Tacloban City.
Roque previously said that the government is eyeing to place parts of the country without COVID-19 cases in the past month under the "new normal" classification, which lifts restrictions on business activities including travel, provided that minimum health standards are observed.
The "new normal" classification used to be the fifth and lowest quarantine classification until the task force temporarily removed it in June.
Under the current four-tier classification, the MGCQ is the most lenient lockdown status.

DoLE helps acquitted Saudi OFW
The Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) has committed to provide assistance to an overseas Filipino worker (OFW) recently repatriated after being acquitted of murder in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
In a statement on Sunday, Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said the government has worked closely on the case of Rose Dacanay Policarpio until she gained her freedom, and will continue to help her to start anew.
Policarpio was repatriated last week, two years after being acquitted on the murder of her Lebanese employer.
In a report to Bello, Labor Attache Nasser Mustafa of the Philippine Overseas Labor Office in Riyadh said Policarpio arrived in Saudi Arabia on 3 June 2013 after being deployed by her Philippine recruitment agency, Saranay Philippines Inc. as a food server for the Saudi Ministry of Defense and Aviation.
However, she ended up as a household service worker to a Lebanese woman who was living alone. Barely two weeks after her arrival, she was falsely accused of the murder of her employer.
Policarpio denied the accusation and claimed that the crime was perpetrated by three unidentified men, who entered the house of her employer while she was out throwing garbage.
After the incident, she called her Saudi agency, who arrived at the scene with members of the Saudi police. She was detained thereafter and the case of murder was filed against her.
The Philippine Embassy in Riyadh provided her with a lawyer from the AI Kheraiji Law Office, which helped her obtain an acquittal in November 2018.

Over 5,000 rebels neutralized inside 9 months
A total of 5,164 New People's Army (NPA) members and supporters have been neutralized in police and military operations in the first nine months of the year, according to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Sunday.
Of this number, about 169 communist terrorists were killed in focused military operations, 4,777 were former rebels who have chosen to abandon the insurgency movement, and 218 were arrested by security forces.
"Our recent successes in combating the communist scourge would not have been possible without our strong partnership with our counterparts in the Philippine National Police (PNP)," AFP chief-of-staff Lt. Gen. Gilbert Gapay said in a statement.
Last 24 September, the AFP and the PNP concluded the National Joint Peace and Security Coordinating Center meeting, which has so far been successful in instilling the joint operations concept between military and police units nationwide.
The NPA, the armed wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP), is listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, European Union, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the Philippines.
"We have once again convened to ensure the continuous synchronization of our respective efforts in winning the peace, intensifying security, and bringing to justice those who have caused chaos and spread terror in their attempt to corrupt the peace and democracy that we all have been preserving," Gapay said.
Recent joint operations have resulted in the neutralization of notorious communist leaders nationwide, including a certain "Mitchel Fat," who was killed after resisting government forces serving arrest warrants late in August in Ilog, Negros Occidental.
He was believed to have masterminded the killing of four policemen in Ayungon, Negros Oriental in July 2019.
Meanwhile, elements of the 3rd Special Forces Battalion and the 1st Police Mobile Force Company in Surigao del Sur also apprehended during a checkpoint operation, Sarvina Rivas Quijano, a finance staff of the communist terrorist group in northeastern Mindanao.
She was accosted and found carrying two improvised explosive devices (IED) along with other IED paraphernalia.
Also, combined forces of 81st Infantry Battalion and Ilocos Sur Provincial Police Office also arrested the top ranking NPA leader operating in Abra identified as Joel Sibalo Banganan and Ranny Velle Urbis, an NPA leader operating in Ilocos Sur last 14 August in Barangay Damacuag, Santa Lucia, Ilocos Sur.
Mario Caraig, an NPA leader operating in the Southern Tagalog region, was also killed by AFP-PNP forces in Kalayaan, Laguna on 7 August.
Aside from the neutralization of high-value targets, the AFP and the PNP also confirmed the dismantling of eight so-called guerrilla fronts this year.
The dismantling involves the destruction of communists' fighting force and its support and propaganda systems, rendering them incapable of staging attacks, recruiting new members, and generating funds.
The AFP said three of the dismantled terrorist cells were from Luzon, two were from Visayas, and three were from Mindanao.

CLOA distribution to be intensified
The Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) will intensify the distribution of certificates of land ownership award (CLOA) and the provision of support services to agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARB) in line with the thrust of the Duterte administration to emancipate farmers from the bondage of the soil.
DAR Secretary John Castriciones made the assurance as he recently led the simultaneous distribution of CLOA and awarding of seed capital and agricultural inputs assistance to 297 ARB in Nueva Ecija.
The CLOA comprise a total of 364 land titles covering 192.62 hectares of agricultural lands located in the municipalities of Cuyapo and Talavera, Nueva Ecija.
Aside from the distribution of CLOA, Castriciones also distributed certificate of award of checks to different ARB organizations (ARBO) worth P20 million as seed capital assistance for rice retailing project, agri-farm input project, and technical skills development that will benefit 30 ARBO of the province.
The DAR secretary said the seed capital assistance and agri-input program are being implemented under the Convergence on Livelihood Assistance for ARB Project (CLAAP) in partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
"The program aims to boost farmers' household income by helping them develop their agricultural enterprises through livelihood and micro-enterprise projects like vegetable and fruit farming, food processing and livestock raising, among others," Catriciones said.
Castriciones, at the same time, reiterated that farmers play a vital role in the development of the country and in society in particular with the onslaught of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
"That is the reason why I am exerting a lot of effort to really go around the country despite the risk of the COVID-19 pandemic, because I believe that farmers are considered one of the heroes of our country," Castriciones said.
"What we want is that through the help of this land, and social and support services which was given by DAR and other government agencies, your standard of living will improve," he explained.
As this developed, the DAR chief also led the "Serbisyong DAR-to-DOOR" CLOA distribution where he personally handed over the land titles to the ARB, whose homes are near the venue of the event.
Castriciones said this is to ensure that the farmers would personally receive their CLOA themselves and be able to congratulate them for having their own lands.
Among those who were personally given land titles were spouses Antonio and Anicia Encomienda and Dolores Butardo from Barangay Malineng, Cuyapo, Nueva Ecija and Rene Aguino, Danilo Mendiola and Chanda Sacatrapos from Barangay Sibul, Talavera, Nueva Ecija.

Sage 300 ERP provides COM API to allow us to write programs to interact with the system. We usually use Session Manager to handle the sign-on, so we don't need to know a user's id and password. Session Manager uses the open session and if the user has more than one company open, it asks the user to select a company to open.
Starting with Sage 300 ERP version 5.4, if a user has multiple companies open when he launches a custom program, the software asks to open a new session by selecting a company and entering the user's id and password. Any future launches of the custom program is tied to the same session company. This was designed to allow external applications to open a session once and use that session. We would recommend to always force a new session with the custom program or ask the user to manually terminate all sessions in the Sign-on Manager.
But, with Sage 300 ERP 2014, we can just add the $objecthandle$ in the Arguments fields when we create the desktop shortcut and add a few additional code lines in our VB Program to work with the objecthandle. This will eliminate the login confusion for users.

27 Jun Leadership Tip #2: Set a New Leadership PR! Five Daily Skills to Go Next Level!
Athletes are constantly looking for ways to improve because even the slightest improvement can lead to a new PR or Personal Record. However, it's a different kind of PR that actually gets them to a new personal record and this is Personal Responsibility.
It is a professional athlete's job to improve performance with every opportunity. The way that happens is to consistently show up, put in the practice, and do the work. The athletes are clear on their outcome, and while not every day moves them forward, their focus remains the same, and they return every day committed to get to the next level.
Being an effective leader requires the same determination. It is the person who accepts Personal Responsibility to consistently show up, put in the practice, and do the work on their leadership skills that will earn their PR. Leadership is not a position; it is a daily conscious choice to positively impact the people you influence.
Here is the catch, though, it's important to understand that leadership isn't about the people you are leading. It's about accepting personal responsibility to be the leader. Like an athlete, we should constantly choose to work on our leadership skills. Here are five leadership skills to consciously work on every day.
1. Choose a positive attitude for yourself and make sure you are spreading that to others. What will you do to be more positive today?
2. Be present and listen to others. Turn away from your computer. Put your phone on silent. Shut off the stories in your head, and give that person 100% of your focus. Simon Sinek says "There is a difference between listening and waiting for your turn to speak." Listen and then take action. What will you do to be more present today?
3. Invest in your own leadership development. When you grow personally, the others around you will grow. Read a book, listen to a podcast, or have lunch with a mentor. A new PR is only possible when you put in the work! What will you do to invest in your personal growth and development today?
4. Connect with your teams at work and home on a personal level. The old saying "people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care" is still used because it's true. Vulnerability is the new strong. When you let them see you sweat, they will gladly sweat with you. What will you do to connect with the hearts of your team members today?
5. Check your stories so you respond rather than react. Our sub-conscious programming runs deep, and if we aren't conscious, we will react based on an old story rather than respond to what is actually happening. In Leadership Tip #1, we talked about asking WTO? (What's The Outcome) instead of WTF? That is the difference between responding and reacting – making conscious choices that move you towards your outcomes. What will you do to be more responsive and outcome focused today?
When you accept personal responsibility to develop your leadership skills, you will set a new leadership PR, and while you will gain tangible results from your actions, you will have already felt like you gained because of all of the intangibles. That's what we at High5 call a win/win.

If your succulent grows tall and leggy you can use this simple trick that will help bring it back to its original beauty.
This pretty Echeveria 'Perle Von Nürnberg' was looking so leggy, losing its pretty purple color, and some of the leaves were falling off.
Why a succulent grows tall and leggy?
The most likely reason is that they are stretching to find the light.
Last year my daughter wrote a post about caring for succulents and one of the main tips is to give succulents tons of light. I'm not sure what happened to this guy. I think it may have started in the nursery and the window I had it in to start just wasn't getting enough light on an ongoing basis.
I decided to cut it off at the bottom. You can see after a little while a new rosette started forming.
I kept the top portion of the plant and a couple of leaves and allowed them to callus over for several days.
If you look to the left there are a couple of leaves on top of the soil that have started to regrow. To be honest, these almost never do well for me.
However, waiting until the top portion began to send out roots before re-planting worked really well.
Here it is 7 months later. The rosette in front is the top portion of the original plant. The two on the back right side are growing from the original cut stem. You can see a new one growing between the two.
The plants in this container are growing nice and tight. They look healthy and display beautiful color.
Now you know of one option to try if your succulent grows tall and leggy.
You may also notice a baby Kalanchoe up front. Soon I'll transplant elsewhere eventually as it will grow to be too tall.
That shriveled leaf was an attempt to propagate the plant from a leaf. Though this works well for many succulents I haven't had a lot of success with the process. The leaves start to send out growth but they never quite take to the soil
This planter is sitting in a south-eastern facing window. It's watered lightly every week with the rest of my plants.
Here it is on the windowsill of my office right next to my desk so I can enjoy them as I work.
P.S. I have a few other posts about succulents that you may like. Tips about growing succulents, written by my daughter, a huge plant lover studying Botany. Another is all about hardy succulents that you can grow outside in colder climates, and a third is a cute project about how to make a succulent birdcage planter.

Dramatically cut your taxes with long-haul Iberia redemptions
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
When an Avios collector in the UK looks for a long-haul redemption, British Airways is the obvious choice of airline. There are, of course, also BA's partner airlines in the OneWorld alliance to choose from. Often overlooked, though, is BA's sister company Iberia.
Now, there are good reasons why Iberia may not be top of your list.
Reason No 1 is route network. IB has recently cut flights to a lot of places you might want to go (Montreal, Toronto, Washington, Johnannesburg) to add extra flights to places that are probably not top of your list (Mauritania was the latest long-haul launch!).
Here are Iberia's non-European destinations, as best as I can make out (please post in the Comments with any changes). Note that not all of these will be on a long-haul aircraft, especially the routes into northern Africa.
- Africa – Accra, Algiers, Casablanca, Dakar, Luanda, Malabo (Equatorial Guinea), Oran
- North America – Chicago, Miami, New York, Boston, Los Angeles
- South America – Bogota, Buenos Aires, Caracas, Guatemala City, Guayaquil (Ecuador), Havana, Lagos, Lima, Mexico City, Montevideo, Mauritania, Panama City, Quito, Rio do Janeiro, San Jose (Costa Rica), San Juan (Puerto Rico), San Salvador, Santiago, Santo Domingo, Sao Paulo
- Asia – none
- Middle East – Cairo, Tel Aviv
All are ex-Madrid. (Barcelona to Miami is actually an AA codeshare.)
Reason No 2 to avoid IB is reputation. You should bear this in mind, ex Wikipedia:
Suffering from more customer complaints than any other full-service carrier in Europe, Iberia has developed a negative overall brand image from the general public and a reputation for poor customer service. In 2011, reflecting very low customer satisfaction ratings, Iberia was ranked #10 in a Business Insider poll for "The 10 Worst Airlines in the World." Also, passengers rated Iberia a mere 3.3 out of 10 on Skytrax's website, depicting its services as poor. It is also not a Skytrax Quality Approved airline, especially given that between 2007 and 2012, Skytrax's rating for Iberia's cabin crews has fluctuated between two and three stars, well below the ratings of other European airlines' cabin crews
Reason No 3 is a lack of First Class and a slightly ropey business class seat. 60 inch pitch, 26 inch width and 170 degrees of recline compares poorly to BA's 73 inch pitch, 20 inch width (worse) and fully-flat 180 degree recline. IB's long haul fleet is primarily Airbus A340's, which have four engines and are fuel inefficient, although some A330's are on order I believe.
However, let's put all that aside and get down to a good reason why you SHOULD fly Iberia – money.
IB does not charge the full range of airport taxes and fuel surcharges imposed by BA.
Let's look at Madrid to New York in Business Class, return. IB (via iberia.com on an IB plane) will charge 80,000 Avios plus £89. A BA redemption (via ba.com on a BA plane) on the same route costs 80,000 Avios plus £520! That is, by any stretch, a big difference.
Now, of course all is not plain sailing:
- From the UK, you need to fly to Madrid. Howevever, if you are not based in London you will be taking a connecting flight anyway. And the saving probably justifies not flying direct from London.
- The London to Madrid flight cannot be booked on the same itinerary as the Madrid to New York flight or you will be obliged to pay UK Air Passenger Duty at the long-haul rate. Since you will have separate tickets, IB is not obliged to look after you if you miss your long-haul flight – although if you fly IB from London, it is very unlikely they would abandon you if the delay was down to them.
- A flight from London to Madrid, return, costs 15,000 Avios and £27 in Economy – but that is hardly making a great dent in your £431 saving.
- For comparison, booking London-Madrid-New York and back via Iberia Avios on one ticket costs £273 in taxes, flying economy short-haul and business long-haul. This is still £250 cheaper than using BA, but £157 more than if you book LHR-MAD and MAD-NYC as separate tickets.
- Iberia reward availability is not great as they fly far fewer seats to New York than BA
Note that, to get the £89 of taxes, you must book on the Iberia website and use Iberia Avios. If you try to book this itinerary on the BA website, BA will add fuel surcharges. This means that you need to open an Iberia Plus Avios account. Most importantly, you need to open it 90 days before you want to book, since you cannot transfer BA Avios or avios.com points into Iberia Plus Avios if the IB account is under 90 days old. (And this little wheeze is probably why.) Your IB account may also need to have had an Avios earning transaction put through it (credit a flight segment or a car hire or hotel) to class it as 'active' and thus qualifying to receive incoming transfers – the relevant rule in 'Combine My Avios' is not totally clear.
(Intriguingly, booking a BA redemption via the Iberia website also brings up a modest taxes saving. A New York redemption drops from £520 in taxes to £499. However – and very importantly – Iberia does not allow cancellations to OneWorld partner bookings, and I assume BA is treated as such. I also tried to replicate it on Bangkok and Cairo, but in those cases the taxes were idential to BA's.)

NHS Calderdale Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) are pleased to support World Breastfeeding Week (1-7 August 2013) with Calderdale Council and Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust.
The theme for the week is 'Breastfeeding Support: Close to Mothers' and Calderdale Council, supported by the local NHS, is highlighting Breastfeeding Peer Support and the benefits that this early support can provide for both mother and baby.
Dr Hazel Carsley, GP and Calderdale CCG lead for Children and Women said, "Even when mothers are able to get off to a good start with breastfeeding, all too often in the weeks or months after delivery many new mothers give up. Yet it is during these first few weeks and months of a baby's life that exclusive breastfeeding (without any top-ups with formula) can have the biggest impact on a baby's health. That's why we want to highlight the local support available."
Paul Butcher, Calderdale Council's Interim Director of Public Health, said: "We recognise how important breastfeeding is to both mothers and babies. Now that Calderdale Council has lead responsibility for Public Health services, we're committed to making sure the right support is available in the community for new mothers so that we can increase the number of women choosing to breastfeed their babies."
In Calderdale, pregnant women or new mothers can find out more about the benefits of breastfeeding by talking to their health visitor or community midwife. To help local mothers to breastfeed for longer, Breastfeeding Network's Peer Support Workers offer tailored 1:1 support to mothers in a variety of different ways including text, telephone, and face-to-face support. Trained Breastfeeding Peer Support Workers are readily available in the community and can provide a lifeline to mothers with breastfeeding questions and issues. To contact the local Peer Support Worker service, mothers can call 0792 0466 660 or email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Information about drop-in sessions can also be found on the Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust website www.cht.nhs.uk/services/clinical-services-a-z/community-services/calderdale-breastfeeding-support/
Infant feeding coordinator Alison Bottomley, at Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust, said: "Breast feeding is a natural, healthy way of feeding a baby and marks a very special moment in a mums life. We hope to provide mums with support, and help to make them feel confident and at ease."
General help and advice about breastfeeding is available on the NHS Choices website: www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/pages/breastfeeding-help-support.aspx

ZTE's Latest Mid Range Device Android Projector Making Market Crazy
Getting hold with the future is getting so exited, and today ZTE unveils its intriguing middle range device called the ZTE's Spro Plus.
So what's the catch with this new device? For some this was the craziest mobile projector design that I have seen in my entire life as to date, but I assume similar will follow in the future.
Just recently, ZTE managed to fit a 8.4 inches Android tablet on top of a specially designed projector. You might be think that it sounds like useless, that was actually the most convenient way to access a video content without any other device. So this will be like Lenovo's Tab Pro, basically an android tablet that has a build in projector.
ZTE stated on that the device spits out 80 inch or 1200 x 800 pixel size of image five feet away from the device to the wall at 500 lumens (it's a wow!), this seems to be viewable even in bright room but not that great at-least it can be viewed. The device is powered by 12,100 mAh battery powerful enough to view up to Five to Six hours of Full length movies in one charging.
Unfortunately, no price has been set yet with Spro Plus, but company says that the device will be available this summer.

Staff at the Capital Gazette have published a Friday edition, after a gunman killed five people and injured more at the local paper's office.
Chase Cook, a reporter at the Annapolis publication, had tweeted: "We are putting out a damn paper tomorrow."
His post came just hours after the attacker, armed with a shotgun and smoke grenades, shot through a glass door into the newsroom.
Police called the shooting a "targeted attack".
The paper has tweeted the front page of their Friday paper, as well as obituaries for their colleagues.
US media have named a suspect held by police as Jarrod Ramos, who is reported to have unsuccessfully sued the newspaper group in 2012 for defamation. The Anne Arundel Police Department have not, however, yet named the suspect.
A Capital Gazette reporter tweeted that Mr Ramos had been charged with "five counts of first-degree murder", and would have a bail review on Saturday.
First reports of the shooting came at 14.40 local time (19.40 BST).
Journalists inside the building posted on social media as the gunman fired through the glass door of the office with a shotgun and shot at staff inside.
An intern at the paper, Anthony Messenger, tweeted as the attacker opened fire.
Another staff member at the Capital Gazette, Selene San Felice, told CNN that her first reaction to the shooting was to lie down under her desk, adding that she attempted to exit through a rear door but it was locked.
Crime reporter Phil Davis was also in the building and told The Baltimore Sun - part of the same media group as the Gazette - that he and his colleagues hid under their desks.
"I don't know why he stopped [shooting]," he told the paper.
He described the scene as "like a war zone" and tweeted about his experiences as he waited to be interviewed by police.
County executive Steve Schuh told CNN that the suspect was hiding under a desk in the building when police officers arrived "within 60 seconds" of receiving news of the incident. He said there was "no exchange of fire".
"This was a targeted attack on the Capital Gazette," said William Krampf, deputy chief of Anne Arundel County Police. He added that the gunman "entered the building with a shotgun and looked for his victims as he walked through the lower level".
Speaking to reporters, Mr Krampf said an item "we believed to be an explosive device" had been found at the premises and destroyed. He said it turned out to be a smoke bomb.
Police said they safely evacuated 170 people from the building, which housed 30 other businesses.
Authorities have named the victims of the shooting:
- Wendi Winters, 65, editor and community reporter
- Rebecca Smith, 34, sales assistant
- Robert Hiaasen, 59, assistant editor and columnist
- Gerald Fischman, 61, editorial writer
- John McNamara, 56, reporter and editor
The Committee to Protect Journalists tweeted that before the Maryland shooting, seven journalists had been killed in the US in relation to their work since 1992.
Most recently, TV reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward were killed in 2015 during an interview in Moneta, Virginia.
Who is the suspect?
The Gazette reportedly wrote an article in 2011 about a woman who claimed Jarrod Ramos was stalking her, and he failed in his attempts to sue the paper for defamation the following year.
Police said a white male suspect in his late 30s was taken into custody at the scene of the shooting and was being questioned. They have not ascribed any motive.
Federal agencies, including the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, were involved in the response to the attack.
Maryland governor Larry Hogan said on Twitter he was "absolutely devastated" and was in contact with authorities.
President Donald Trump was briefed on the attack. He tweeted that his "thoughts and prayers" were with the victims and their families.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders later condemned the attack on "innocent journalists doing their job".
The New York City Police Department (NYPD) said it had deployed counterterrorism teams to media organisations in and around New York City as a precaution.
'Not a war zone'
Mayor of Annapolis Gavin Buckley told the Guardian he could not understand how the paper "could make someone that hostile".
"If this is an attack on journalism it is a sad state of affairs," he said.
"Because journalists, you don't get paid enough to put your life on the line, we're not in some war zone, we're not in some third-world country with a dictator," he said, BBC reported.
Democratic senator Chris Van Hollen responded to a Gazette reporter on Twitter, saying "journalists shouldn't have to fend off bullets in the newsroom".
Writer and alt-right figure Milo Yiannopoulos has faced criticism online for writing that he "can't wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning journalists down".
Mr Yiannopoulos has defended himself on Facebook, claiming the message was "a troll".

This month, we're hosting a second networking event on the third Wednesday of the month, March 20, with Marina Bay in Ft. Lauderdale.
Join us as we enjoy the lovely clubhouse and pool deck of the marina and apartment complex on the northwest corner of State Road 84 and I-95. Networking is from 6-8 p.m. Everyone is welcome; no RSVP required.
Until then, learn a little more about Marina Bay from Manager Jason Taplin, son of the developer.
Q: Tell us about Marina Bay. You guys just might be the oldest, best-kept secret in town. (Include info about number of slips, size, depth in the basin, etc.)
In the 1970s and 80s, Marina Bay was the playground of the rich and famous. Back then it was a private club with a roster of 6,000 names including such famous members as Bob Hope, Ronald Reagan, Burt Reynolds, Paul Newman, Kenny Rogers, and Evil Knievel.
It had 40 exotic floating houseboat hotel rooms, which were still around until 2006.
Today Marina Bay is comprised of 168 slips and can accommodate vessels up to 150 feet.
Q: Is the marina and the upland development all part of the same property? Can marina guests use the pool and other amenities?
Yes, Marina Bay and Fall at Marina Bay are part of the same development. All marina guests, captains and crew have access to all of the resort-like amenities, including the pool, gym, sauna, tennis and racquetball courts, computer cafe, and complimentary coffee bar. And who can forget Rendezvous, the legendary waterfront restaurant overlooking the marina.
Q: What kind of clients do you have in the marina?
We cater to a wide range of boaters and to yacht brokers. Captains and crew love it because of our amenity package and Rendezvous. We also have quite a few brokers who keep listings with us because of the location and security.
Q: Tell us about the staff.
Marina Bay prides itself on costomer satisfaction. Our dockmaster, John Workman, has been in the industry 40 years. Our marina manager is Connie Schoen who wears many hats and is a favorite amongst marina guests.
Q: Is there anything tricky that captains need to know about getting to your marina?
We are located about 4 miles from Port Everglades up the New River. Before getting to Marina Bay, there are four bridges, the lowest being Third Avenue that has a 16-foot clearance. All bridges do open upon request, except during rush-hour traffic unless under tow.
Q: I understand that your dad developed the apartments and has been in South Florida real estate a long time. Can you share something you learned from him about waterfront property or about real estate in general?
My father developed Marina Bay and has been in real estate his whole life. He received his real estate education from my grandfather, who developed one of Miami Beach's first luxury apartment buildings, the Harbor House in Bal Harbor.
I am extremely fortunate to have my father as my teacher. He has taught me so much about life and business. One of the most important lessons it to be persistent in everything you do.
Q: I also heard that you may be developing another Marina Bay-like project. Is that true?
We have no plans on the horizon
For more details, visit www.marinabay-fl.com. To arrive by land, take State Road 84 west of I-95, turn at the first right at the base of the overpass and head to the clubhouse near the end. If you get to Rendezvous Bar and Grill, you've gone one driveway too far.
