Oakwell enjoys an excellent reputation for the education service it provides and now holds five successive Sandford Awards for the quality of its educational provision. Trained staff provide teacher briefings beforehand and work alongside school staff on the day of the visit.
Visits are welcomed from schools both within and outside Kirklees. The price of visits varies, with Kirklees LEA schools receiving preferential rates. We can only accept one class per visit, with a minimum 1:10 ratio of adults to children.
Oakwell provides a valuable experience helping children work towards all key elements of the History National Curriculum, including:
Children will be able to gain a general awareness of the past and be able to compare their lives with how people lived in the past and be introduced to physical evidence, artefacts, paintings and buildings.
Oakwell Hall is ideal for Unit 2 topics about Life in Tudor Times and for any in-depth study such as houses or domestic life, families and childhood.
Pupils studying Unit 8 of the history syllabus can also have a valuable experience at Oakwell Hall looking at the Civil War. At all key stages a variety of sources can be used as well as the buildings, e.g. written sources, objects, maps and historical reconstructions.
If teachers have their own requirements, the education staff would be pleased to discuss these.
Two Hall-based visits provide opportunities for role play and skill based work, each with a slightly different emphasis. The classes arrive in costume (which they provide themselves) and adopt the role of members of the household and carry out a range of interpretative and craft activities using reproduction artefacts. Oakwells education staff will lead the role play as members of the 16th or 17th century household.
Children will take part in five activities during the day including preparing the mid-day meal. This is a major activity for which schools must provide their own food and extra helpers. These visits require a minimum of seven staff or helpers in addition to the two Oakwell staff.
Children will take part in four activities including a handling session, in role, led by members of Oakwell staff. Cooking is not part of the day and schools are expected to bring a simple 16th or 17th century style picnic lunch. These visits require a minimum of six staff or helpers in addition to the two Oakwell staff.
This involves a visit to the Hall for observation and interpretation and also a classroom based activity involving the examination of original and reproduction artefacts and is very much an investigative process. Costume work and other activities can be included.
As with any visit, after discussion with the teacher the emphasis can be changed to fit the requirements, experiences and abilities of the children. Particular bias can be given for example, to materials, technology or the Civil War.
A minimum of two members of school staff are desirable, a member of the Oakwell staff leads the Hall visit and school staff run the handling sessions.
The Country Park is a valuable resource for National Curriculum Science at all key stages. The woodland, grassland and ponds provide ideal locations for the study of plants and animals in the local environment.
The skills based approach to learning links directly to experimental and investigative science. It involves discussion, observation, prediction, testing, measuring, hypothesising and drawing conclusions.
The science options offered at Oakwell Hall Country Park are by their nature cross-curricular. For example, there are opportunities for language development including reading information sheets, speaking and listening and writing about what they have seen.
The science options are based on a modular approach. Each of the following sessions lasts half a day with the exception of the rocks and soils session which lasts all day. Schools can mix and match according to their needs. If you have any requirements not covered by the options, please discuss them with the Oakwell staff.
A guided walk looking at a range of habitats within the Park considering the needs of wildlife. Habitats include shrubbery, hedges, walls, grassland, woodland and wetland.
An In-depth habitat study of the pond. The first half of the session is spent dipping for invertebrates, with the rest of session observing and recording finds with options of using keys, making simple classifications and looking at how creatures are adapted to their environment.
Using pooters and nets to hunt for mini-beasts in grassland, woodland, leaf litter, under stones etc and recording finds with options of using keys, simple classifications and looking at adaptations to habitat.
An introduction to trees through a range of games and activities using the senses. Sessions can include identifying trees using simple keys, looking at and constructing seeds and investigating methods of seed dispersal. The session can be tailored to individual requirements of the school and can include an artistic element.
This session encourages children to understand and appreciate the environment through a variety of games and activities using the senses.
This visit includes a classroom based session and a tour of the Country Park. In the classroom the children sort rocks according to observable features, perform simple experiments and investigate the different uses of stone through handling artefacts. Outside, children will dig a soil profile pit and look at the geology of the area. Children will also have the opportunity to examine and draw fossils.
A minimum of three members of school staff are desirable for the above options.

Ala. Legislature to take on revamp of MedicaidMONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Both houses of the Alabama Legislature will begin work on a bill in two weeks that could move Medicaid to a for-profit, managed care model. Committee meetings and public hearings will be held to discuss proposed legislation based on the work of a 33-member committee created last year. If passed, the bill would build a framework that the State Medicaid Agency would operate within to deliver comprehensive health care to Medicaid consumers. The plan calls for up to eight regions within the state that would be independently managed within their borders. Existing for-profit companies outside of the state have expressed interest in filling those roles, but local provider-led groups can form to become regional leaders. If the legislation passes, it would not be fully implemented until 2017. |

Chocolate Covered Strawberries
There are indeed wonderful strawberries, covered in luscious chocolate. A whole bunch were delivered to me at my office on Valentine's Day (which is the reason I assume you were searching). They came from Edible Arrangements and no one could stop eating them. They may have been hothouse strawberries or they may have been from South America, but they were soft and ripened to perfection, fragrant, and not at all tough. I checked the website and they were delivered for $58 for more than enough for 10 people--there must have been more than twenty.

British PM's ex-media boss in court
- Tweet
- Share this
LONDON (Reuters) - The former communications chief of British Prime Minister David Cameron appeared in court on Thursday, accused with six others over hacking the phones of Hollywood stars, politicians and crime victims.
Andy Coulson, former editor of Rupert Murdoch's News of the World, resigned from Cameron's staff last year amid a scandal that rocked Murdoch's media empire and raised questions over the prime minister's judgment
Coulson is charged with conspiring with others to intercept voicemails.
The now defunct News of the World was Britain's best-selling newspaper, a brash Sunday tabloid with a reputation for exposing the activities of celebrities, politicians and wrongdoers.
Alongside Coulson in the dock stood the paper's former managing editor Stuart Kuttner, former news editor Greg Miskiw, former head of news Ian Edmondson, ex-chief reporter Neville Thurlbeck and former reporter James Weatherup.
The seventh man is a former private detective Glenn Mulcaire.
All seven, dressed in suits, did not exchange a word or even appear to acknowledge each other as they looked around Westminster Magistrates' Court, which was packed with lawyers and reporters.
Rebekah Brooks, a close friend of Cameron's who oversaw Murdoch's British newspaper arm, has also been charged with illegally intercepting voicemail messages and will appear before the same court on September 3.
Prosecutors allege that in order to obtain exclusive stories, the group illegally accessed on a systematic basis the voicemails of mobile phones of celebrities, sports stars and politicians.
Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Jude Law, England soccer player Wayne Rooney, former Beatle Paul McCartney, former Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott and two former home secretaries (interior ministers) were among the victims, prosecutors said.
Another alleged victim was Milly Dowler, a missing schoolgirl later found murdered. It was the revelation that she had been targeted which created a public uproar last year, and led to Murdoch closing down the 168-year-old title.
Coulson has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
The seven men spoke only to confirm their name, age and address. A clerk then read out all the charges which took almost 20 minutes. The case will now go to Southwark Crown Court on September 26.
They remain on bail on the condition they do not contact each other and that they tell the police in advance if they plan to travel abroad.
Phone-hacking first became public knowledge seven years ago when senior aides to members of Britain's royal family realized their voicemails had been listened to when private stories appeared in the News of the World.
Following a now much-criticized police investigation, the paper's royal correspondent and a private detective were jailed.
For years, Murdoch's British newspaper arm News International said only a "rogue" reporter was to blame. However, a new police probe was launched in January last year which led to the current charges.

It is always a pleasure to stay at this hotel. Friendly and helpful staff, comfortable room ,useful amenities. We ended up staying in a handicap accessible room. The shower was fabulous and the room felt airy. Our only disappointment was that noise from the adjoining room was quite loud and woke us several times during the night.

The best artists are skilled at switching between a variety of musical styles and lyrical themes. In Ciara's case, complementing her club bangers (Goodies, 1-2 Step, Get Up, Go Girl) are slower, more laid-back jams (And I, Promise, Can't Leave Him Alone). Staying true to that gameplan, she has reenlisted Promise producer Polow Da Don for the latest single off her long-awaited junior album, Fantasy Ride. Never Ever is a smooth track encouraging females not to let their unrequited love for any man ruin their lives, but CiCi doesn't neglect to provide a male perspective �" enter Young Jeezy, who...

Browsers and the Agony of Choice
A while ago I decided to stop using Mozilla's Firefox (version 3, as it was then) as my browser of choice, opting instead for Google's Chrome (those being the only two valid options, since I wouldn't touch IE and wasn't so keen on the smaller offerings). There were a number of reasons for this, most notable the bloat I was finding in Firefox and I preferred Chrome's minimalist approach. All good then.
Then Firefox 4 came out. I took a cursory look at this and liked what I saw, but here's the rub: I didn't switch back from Chrome. Firefox certainly appeared to be moving in the right direction (copying Chrome in many areas, or so it seemed to me) but I had made the switch to Chrome and Firefox hadn't done enough to woo me back.
This is actually the situation with a lot of software that you can download for free (or for very little) over the internet these days. Once you start using it, there is a natural inertia to changing what you know and trying something new: it's just too much hassle. Trying something new needs to give you a significant boost in some area you are interested in before it is worth your while suffering the pains of moving. I often wonder if that is the main reason Linux hasn't yet taken over the world. Of course, when it comes to file sharing, the situation is often compounded by the fact that to move from one file sharing provider to another involves the significant hassle of moving all your data from their cloud to the new provider's cloud.
I have recently come across some indications that I may switch back to Firefox in the near future. A few sites I have been visiting have had quirks that I merely assumed were to do with the site being poorly programmed. Well, ok, in essence they are, but those quirks have been fixed for me by using Firefox to view them. Leaving aside the obvious "Shame on you, site, for not testing your user experience on Chrome" statement, I do find it interesting that even in these heady days of browser choice and interoperability, there are still marked differences in the end experience offered by browsers.
So now I find myself in a browser limbo, unsure whether to commit to the new Firefox and this unwilling to invest more effort in configuring Chrome to suit my tastes. Literally, the agony of choice.

Early Evaluation: NHL's 2009-2010 Breakout Forwards
By Puckpassion ,
Every year in the NHL we see a handful of young forwards have their breakout seasons, some expected, some unexpected.
Last year we saw forwards like David Krejci of the Boston Bruins, Joe Pavelski of the San Jose Sharks, Bryan Little of the Atlanta Thrashers, among others, enjoy breakout years.
When I project which players I think will have breakout seasons, I base it on four things:
The first thing I look at is the player's overall potential. This is the most important attribute to look at because if players have little to no potential of being a solid player, you're just shooting in the dark if you are predicting a breakout season for them.
The second thing I look at is how well a player finished off his last season. I've noticed through the years that when younger players finish the season strong, this indicates bigger and better things for them next season.
The third thing I look at is how well a player played in the playoffs (if they had the opportunity). Players proving they can step up in the playoffs early in their career gives them confidence and a huge kick to their career.
The fourth and final thing I look at is the player's opportunity. Will this player I'm evaluating be playing a big enough role to warrant his breakout year?
In my opinion, those are all really important things you have to look at when evaluating a breakout season for young players.
My early evaluation consists of 10 forwards I believe could be on the verge of breakout seasons in 2009-2010.
Sam Gagner was one of the surprise rookies who put up good numbers in his rookie season two years ago (49 points).
Many thought Sam was ready for a breakout year in his following campaign this past season.
That didn't quite happen.
Sam got off to a very slow start in his second season, so much so that he found himself relegated from a top six role.
Through the first three quarters of Sam's second season he didn't contribute much, but once that final quarter hit, Sam found his stride, putting up a total of 21 points in his final 20 games.
This strong finish should catapult Sam to a much better start and campaign next season, hopefully his breakout year.
2008-2009 stats: GP 76, Goals 16, Assists 25, Points 41
2009-2010 breakout potential: 60 points
Key to his breakout season: Oilers must be a competitive team.
Steven Stamkos was drafted first overall in the 2008 NHL draft.
When you're a number one pick, high expectations come with it, and Steven failed to silence his critics for the better part of his rookie year.
I personally believe it was the horrible team and distractions Steve had to deal with that hampered his full potential.
Once the Lightning were well out of the playoff hunt, the pressure and expectations seemed to go away, and Steve finished his rookie season on a high note, putting up 20 points in his final 20 games.
With the experience Steven earned in his turbulent rookie season, he should now know how to play through it if it happens again, so expect his numbers to rise.
2008-2009 stats: GP 79, Goals 23, Assists 23, Points 46
2009-2010 breakout potential: 30 or more goals and around 70 points
Key to his breakout season: Ignoring any distractions. Taking control of plays.
Valtteri Filppula looks like he may be another unknown Red Wings stud that came out of nowhere.
On the big stage of these 2009 playoffs, Valtteri has stepped his game up tremendously, notching 16 points in 22 games, with one game still to play.
In my opinion he's the Red Wings' unsung hero, not only in the playoffs, but all season long.
Valtteri may finally see a top six role for most of next season, leading to more minutes and playing with better players; the formula for stat inflation.
2008-2009 stats: GP 80, Goals 12, Assists 28, Points 40
2009-2010 breakout potential: 60 points
Key to his breakout season: Playing in a top six role.
Michael Frolik has been the Panthers' top prospect for a few seasons now.
Last season was Michael's chance to finally show the Panthers organization he was ready for the big club, and he did not disappoint.
Michael put up 21 goals and a total of 45 points in 79 games played in his rookie season.
His play through the first half of the season earned him a spot on the rookie's squad at the Young-Stars game on All-Star weekend.
Michael finished off the season with nine points in his last nine games.
2008-2009 stats: GP 79, Goals 21, Assists 24, Points 45
2009-2010 breakout potential: 25 to 30 goals, 60 points
Key to his breakout season: More ice time. Bigger role.
Brandon Dubinsky was a bit of a mystery last season.
Coming off an unexpected rookie season with 40 points, Brandon started his sophomore season with 11 points in his first 13 games. It looked liked Brandon was on his way to a breakout season.
However, In Brandon's next 52 games, he only tallied a total of 19 points, and eventually finished the season with a disappointing 41 points in 82 games played, only one point better than his previous season.
The silver lining to it all is Brandon finished the season well and played solidly in the seven games of the playoffs, all under new head coach John Tortorella.
Assuming the Rangers sign Brandon, I see good things happening for him next season.
2008-2009 stats: GP 82, Goals 13, Assists 28, Points 41
2009-2010 potential breakout: 60 points
Key to his breakout season: Maintaining a good work ethic under his new coach.
Originally a sixth overall pick in the 2002 NHL draft, Scottie Upshall has been an underachiever thus far in his seven seasons in the NHL.
Scottie was traded from Philadelphia to Phoenix right around the trade deadline last season, making this is his third club of his career.
When Scottie arrived in Phoenix, he made an immediate impact, finishing the season with eight goals and 13 points in his final 19 games of the season with the Coyotes.
Assuming the Coyotes resign Scottie, he could start off the season in a top six role for the them, and expect him to make most of the opportunity if he does.
2008-2009 stats: GP 74, Goals 15, Assists 19, Points 34
2009-2010 breakout potential: 25 to 30 goals, 50 or more points
Key to his breakout season: Playing with good playmakers.
When Claude Giroux was bought up from the AHL's Philadelphia Phantoms to play for the Flyers, there was no doubt he was NHL ready.
On most nights when Claude was in a Flyers uniform, he looked like one of the best players on the ice.
Claude has amazing vision in which we all witnessed in the playoffs when he set up a Simon Gagne goal with a pass that would make Peter Forsberg's eyes light up.
Claude was consistently one of the best players for the Flyers in the playoffs as well (five points in six games), and one of the big reasons the series did not turn out to be a sweep for the Penguins.
With half a season under his belt and a strong playoff performance, this youngster may have all that is needed to breakout next season.
2008-2009 stats: GP 42, Goals 9, Assists 18, Points 27
2009-2010 potential breakout: 60 points
Key to his breakout season: Bulking up and getting stronger in the offseason.
Kyle Okposo proved last year he is ready for the big leagues, scoring 18 goals in only 65 games on the worst offensive team in the NHL.
Assuming the Islanders draft John Tavares, it could potentially be a top line of Tavares, Doug Weight, and Kyle Okposo. Either way, Okposo should play on the top line for Islanders, and at the very least in a top six role depending on how the FA market goes for them.
Kyle finished the season with 16 points in his final 14 NHL games.
Kyle also played in the World Hockey Championships, tallying five points in nine games played.
Everything about Kyle's speedy maturation, his role with the Islanders, and his opportunity, spells early breakout in my opinion.
2008-2009 stats: GP 65, Goals 18, Assists 21, Points 39
2009-2010 breakout potential: 30 goals, 50 or more points
Key to his breakout: Staying healthy
T.J. Oshie could have made a run at the Calder Trophy last season if he played a full season.
His numbers last season projected out over the course of a full 82 game season were around 60 points.
TJ finished the season with 14 points in his last 15 games, and don't forget the playoff experience he gained as well.
Considering he is also of of the big pieces to major rebuilding in St. Louis, this seems like an easy pick to me.
2008-2009 stats: GP 57, Goals 14, Assists 25, Points 39
2009-2010 breakout potential: 60 points
Key to his breakout season: St. Louis needs to be a competitive team again.
Rene Bourque got off to a great start in his first year as a Calgary Flame.
Through Rene's first 58 games, before suffering a season ending injury, he tallied 21 goals and 40 points.
Rene returned from his injury in time for the playoffs which is huge because if not, he would have last seen NHL action in February, which would be nearly eight months before the start of his 2009-2010 NHL season.
Before going down with the injury, Rene had nine points in his last 10 games in the regular season. He also played in all five playoff games and scored one goal.
2008-2009 stats: GP 58, Goals 21, Assists 19, Points 40
2009-2010 breakout potential: 30 goals, 50 points
Key to his breakout season: Adapting to the new head coach's system

A Tribe Called Quest • Beastie Boys • De La Soul • Eric B. & Rakim • The Fugees • KRS-One • Pete Rock & CL Smooth • Public Enemy • The Roots • Run-DMC • Wu-Tang Clan • and twenty-five more hip-hop immortals
It's a sad fact: hip-hop album liners have always been reduced to a list of producer and sample credits, a publicity photo or two, and some hastily composed shout-outs. That's a damn shame, because few outside the game know about the true creative forces behind influential masterpieces like PE's It Takes a Nation of Millions. . ., De La's 3 Feet High and Rising, and Wu-Tang's Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). A longtime scribe for the hip-hop nation, Brian Coleman fills this void, and delivers a thrilling, knockout oral history of the albums that define this dynamic and iconoclastic art form.
The format: One chapter, one artist, one album, blow-by-blow and track-by-track, delivered straight from the original sources. Performers, producers, DJs, and b-boys–including Big Daddy Kane, Muggs and B-Real, Biz Markie, RZA, Ice-T, and Wyclef–step to the mic to talk about the influences, environment, equipment, samples, beats, beefs, and surprises that went into making each classic record. Studio craft and street smarts, sonic inspiration and skate ramps, triumph, tragedy, and take-out food–all played their part in creating these essential albums of the hip-hop canon.
Insightful, raucous, and addictive, Check the Technique transports you back to hip-hop's golden age with the greatest artists of the '80s and '90s. This is the book that belongs on the stacks next to your wax.
"Brian Coleman's writing is a lot like the albums he covers: direct, uproarious, and more than six-fifths genius."
–Jeff Chang, author of Can't Stop Won't Stop
"All producers and hip-hop fans must read this book. It really shows how these albums were made and touches the music fiend in everyone."
–DJ Evil Dee of Black Moon and Da Beatminerz
"A rarity in mainstream publishing: a truly essential rap history."
–Ronin Ro, author of Have Gun Will Travel

Chapter One
Paid in Full
(4th & Bway/Island, 1987)
"I came in the door, I said it before/I never let the mic magnetize me no more."
When you hear those first lines, your whole body starts to shiver. You're instantly transported to New York, 1986. The verses are so ill that your mom could say them and they'd still move a crowd. And they don't stop for the duration of Eric B. & Rakim's unsinkable classic, "Eric B. Is President." A song like that only comes along maybe twice a decade, and few of them stay with you like the duo's master tome. Eric B. and Rakim set off a lot of things in 1986–an onslaught of raids on the James Brown sampling archive; a rebirth of anti-party, pro-scientific lyricism; and a 500 percent rise in purchases of dinosaur-choking gold medallions from Bushwick to Bangkok.
Interestingly, William Griffin Jr.–the youngest of three Griffin brothers and better known to hip-hop as Rakim–didn't figure their booming single (first released on Zakia Records, B-sided with the also mind-blowing "My Melody") would change hip-hop the way it did. "I had no idea it would impact like that, but maybe that's because I'm my own worst critic," Rakim Allah says, adding, "I had already been rhyming for so long at that point that I wasn't looking to pursue a recording career. To be honest, at the time I was hoping to play football at Stony Brook [University, in Long Island], since my cousin had a scholarship there. I played quarterback and had met with the coach there. He told me to get my grades up and we could talk." Luckil

Tumblr VS deviantART- Flex McCool
Ok so here's the question I have to ponder. I can't help but notice that a heck of a lot of artists on deviantART also have tumblr blogs. So does this mean that tumblr can act as a good complimentary resource to deviantART and/or vice versa? Or is it some other reason that deviantART users are also frequently tumblr users? Something to think about….

Fantastically Designed Female Ninja Turtles
By Flex McCool
Thailand based deviant user propimol has created a series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original characters. What makes these characters interesting though is that they are a team of female turtles. They sport more feminine qualities such as braided headbands to mimic hair and different weapons (the nunchuck-jumprope switch is a clever idea). While they seem to be based on the original 4 turtles from the franchise, they're still interesting and unique enough to exist as stand-alone characters. If you're interested, you can check out propimol's deviantART page to see more of her amazing work.

Technical Illustrator Creates Intricate Cutaway Images Of Aircraft
By Flex McCool
Tim Hall has used his experience in the british army and his background as a mechanic to create incredible cutaway images of various aircraft for various clients. His work covers a variety of subjects such as helicopters, jet engines and airliners. He's also tackled locomotive concepts and even nuclear power stations too. To see his portfolio(produced jointly with Michael Badrocke) check out his website at Flightline Arts. It contains only a fraction of the 200+ illustrations that he has completed but it is still impressive work.
Cracking The Artistic Code - Flex McCool
In one episode of Big Bang Theory, the character Sheldon tries to develop a scientific universal equation for comedy. Everybody thought it was impossible as comedy isn't based on math but is rather something a bit more human. Ironically I wrote a post up a while ago about comedy as an art (click here to see it). So my brother and I later had a big debate about art being the result of a fixed mental algorithm or not. I argued that there's a possible system we're born with to figure out aesthetics but that system changes through our experiences and is likely altered over time. He argued there was some unchanging magic equation that exists in all of us that determines what defines good art.
His argument included:
- Art theory has to come from somewhere
- Human beings are too similar to not have common ground
- An equation that versatile is unlikely to exist
My argument included:
- Art theory is rather loose and not mathematical, it revolves around elements and rules that can very easily be broken (see outsider artists for a good example)
- People have very different tastes visually and are not as similar as some people like to think
- The human mind is adaptive not fixed so any equation it has must be versatile
In the end I stand by my perspective and he by his. However, this is a question that I think many people will take their own stance on. So who do you think is right in this debate or is there an alternative option that the two of us may not have considered? That is a question for you to decide.

Extraordinary Back To The Future Prints
Super-artist Andy Fairhurst has created and released a series of art prints celebrating the 1980s masterpiece Back To The Future and its sequels. The prints were exclusively launched via blurppy.com and are extraordinary. The set features 3 variations with the title being the license plate of a car in the foreground and the feet of the main character, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), trailing behind a skateboard/hoverboard. It's impressive work. Check out Andy's deviantART page for more of his great stuff.
Futuristic Vehicular Scenes Created Using Google Sketchup 3D
By Flex McCool
These vehicular scenes have been created using Google Sketchup 3D. Although slightly touched up in Photoshop, the intricate design of these amazing vehicles make them look like they are from straight out of an animated science fiction short. It's hard to believe that common online software available within the public domain can produce such incredible results. Check out the artist who made these (Marrekie on deviantART) for more of this incredible 3D artwork.

Growing your business in a world without Google
Image by PhotoJonny via Flickr
by Tim Peter
How much of your traffic comes from search engines? How much from Google? If you're like most businesses, you probably get a fair bit of your traffic from the Big G. But, what if it all went away? What if you walked in tomorrow and all your search traffic dried up? Can't imagine it? Well, Google changes its search algorithm hundreds of times each year, on average more than once a day. And, they're facing increasing regulatory challenges overseas and here in the US. If their next algorithm update—or a future regulatory-mandated change—knocked you out of their index, would your business survive? Here are a few handy tips to help you cope in such a scenario—and help you grow your business whether Google continues sending you lots of traffic or not.
