We are Google Certified Partner
The benefits of achieving Google Certified Partner status
Google offers a wide range of programs for individuals and organizations as part of its set of trainings and tools. The benefits of a firm becoming a Google Certified Partner are many: one can display the official “Google Certified Partner” banner, and be officially listed on Google’s Partner Pages. But there are also less obvious benefits that can accrue to partners: here are some of them:
- Staying abreast with evolving best PPC practices. Google’s best practices are made immediately available to certified members of the program, letting your staff stay on top of the rapidly changing developments in paid search.
- Better PPC performance. Fewer mistakes and better execution means overall lower CPCs, better ROI, and ultimately a stronger agency.
- Professional development. We are very enthusiastic about the Google training programs – not only does it open up the potential for an elevated position, but it makes us better, more knowledgeable professionals. Consequently we are better able to serve our clients, providing a win-win for us and the clients.
- Beta Features. As Certified Google Partner we have access to Google’s beta features. This means that after Google has developed a new feature or application, its partners can test and use this feature up to a year or more before it is available to the general public. Imagine the advantages to be gained by using Google marketing features a year before your competition even has access to it!
- Google partners can provide you huge financial savings on AdWords PPC cost: Please click on the link goo.gl/xhTVuo too see the possible promotions.

More than anything, it was a night when Gareth Southgate needed his attacking talents to express themselves. Safe passage to the last 16 at Euro 2020 had been guaranteed but could England show something to generate a bit of excitement, to fire the feeling that they might be able to cut through teams a a quality that had been wholly absent last Friday in the 0-0 draw with Scotland? Thanks in large part to Jack Grealish and Bukayo Saka, who both came into the starting lineup for the first time at these finals, they did so during an enjoyable first half when England asked questions of the Czech Republic with their movement and interplay.

Absences because of infections, self-isolation and closures result in most disrupted week since schools reopened
A quarter of a million children in England missed school last week because of Covid infections, self-isolation or school closures, making it the most disrupted week since schools fully reopened in March and prompting calls for pupils to be vaccinated.
The upsurge has been most marked in northern centres such as Oldham, where Covid-related absences in schools are more than double the national rate. Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, said that self-isolation rules for children needed to be reformed to avoid further disruption to their education.

The UKas chief negotiator with the EU did his best to prove why he isnat really up to the job
You win some, you lose some. Weare still nowhere near finding out if the government has a coherent plan for tackling social care a only late on Monday the prime minister cancelled a meeting with Rishi Sunak and Matt Hancock due to take place on Tuesday afternoon to discuss the issue. So we can probably assume not. But we are a little better informed as to why the negotiations with the EU over the Northern Ireland protocol have started to unravel badly. And thatas because every time he speaks, the UKas lead Brexit negotiator, David Frost, doesnat seem to be quite as bright as he would like us all to believe.
Tuesdayas appearance before the foreign affairs select committee was a case in point. Having established his credentials as being rather more important than a minister for Europe, Lord Frost then did his best to prove why he wasnat really up to the job. He got off to a bad start by saying that the decision not to fully accredit the EU ambassador to the UK had been aover-interpreteda and that petty point scoring had been the last thing on the governmentas mind. For some reason, the EU had seen it differently and taken offence.

Despite comments he made in the past, the directoras production company Amblin has signed a multi-picture deal with the streaming giant. Should cinephiles be worried?
Did another citadel just fall? Has another general just presented his sword in surrender? Steven Spielbergas production company Amblin has signed a deal to produce multiple features a year for the streaming behemoth Netflix a which is precisely that small-screen player that Spielberg seemed to be rebuking two years ago when he proclaimed the importance of the theatrical experience and implied digital streaming content should not be eligible for Oscars. (Spielberg has since disputed the way his words were reported and interpreted.)
Well, now Spielberg has joined that other celluloid master, Martin Scorsese, in taking the Netflix dollar. Of course, this is not an exclusive deal: Amblin still has relationships with other studios, including Universal, and its own producing remit, after all, is for both film and television. It is also the case that Spielberg himself, though credited as a producer on them all, may not actually direct any of the films that are earmarked for Netflix. But it is still a mighty name for Netflix to have in the bag, and his prestige and the attendant coverage are still hugely important for the big streaming service, which is hyper-vigilant in its guarding against any slowing of momentum in subscription growth. We are, arguably, another step closer to the theatrical experience being just another aspect of the content rollout a a luxury loss-leader or promotional event, perhaps, while the main action involves consuming movies on laptops, tablets and even phones. Or are we approaching a postmodern cinema, which is a new version of its nickelodeon beginnings: watching flickering images once again on a tiny screen?

It was once known as the filthiest river in England but these days, Bradford Beck is hardly known at all. Much of its seven-mile (11km) route is culverted, meaning its course runs through tunnels constructed beneath the city centre, even passing unnoticed under Bradford city hall.

If 2,500 of the afootball familya get a free pass into England, the double standards of our self-isolation rules will be laid bare
How encouraging to see Uefa masterminding a return of jeopardy to the Euros. Not in the football, you understand a putting four third-place teams through simply further deflates the group stages of an already format-compromised 24-team tournament. But threatening last week to take the final away from Wembley and move it to Hungary unless 2,500 of their dignitaries can swerve quarantine a well, this is the stuff of which perilous thrills are made.
Not that a Budapest final wouldnat offer something fresh: large numbers of openly racist and homophobic fans who are finally under investigation by Uefa for their conduct thus far during the tournament. The governing body has sensationally abandoned its high-level probe into German captain Manuel Neueras decision to wear a rainbow armband, and seems to be belatedly taking a look at apotential discriminatory incidentsa at Hungary games against both Portugal and France . Honestly, you donat get into football policing for that, do you? Sad when public eyebrow-raising means you get pulled off the equivalent of an unpaid parking ticket and required instead to waste your time on something far bigger a but I guess thatas life in the governing bodyas crack investigations unit.

Whatas the subplot with the governmentas latest flirtation with the idea of privatising Channel 4? There was a clue, possibly, in the view expressed this week by Tory MP Andrew Griffith, who has clout in these matters since he was a long-serving finance director of Sky.
In a column in the Telegraph, Griffith complained about how parochial UK competition regulators have stymied growth in the sector, missed the rise of on-demand streaming and failed to understand that UK-based TV players need scale to compete with the Americans. Specifically on Channel 4, he said: aIts next, and most enduring, contribution to the UK media landscape may be to keep some of its distinctive remit but as part of adding useful scale to another UK-based operator.a

Fallen from power, he is showing great promise as a poster a and we canat get enough of his online revelations
Just thinking back on the bizarre fever dream of last summer, when Dominic Cummings drove to Barnard Castle and became the most hated man in Britain. Remember that? When he did the little press conference over a trestle table? It feels strange to look back on that moment of British culture now. Because we were all there, we were all involved. We were all doing very bizarre things in lockdowns one, two and three a downloading the Houseparty app, for instance a and for a hot week, being transcendentally angry at Dominic Cummings was one of them. Weall have to explain this to our children, one day. aWell, it was 2020 and nobody really knew if it was legal to leave the house or not,a weall say. aThe isolation was doing very strange things to all our heads. Dominic Cummings a a very bald man who loved bluebells and had a blog 15 years after anyone else in the universe did a worked for the government and we were all very angry at him.

Just like this would-be New York councillor, many young people document every intimate aspect of their lives. Some of that footage will inevitably become public
You have to be something of a masochist to want to get into politics a and Zack Weiner is an unapologetic masochist. Last week, the 26-year-old, who is running for a place on the city council in New York, was something of a nonentity: he had zero name recognition and his campaign had raised just over $10,000 (APS7,200), most of which he had donated himself.
Perhaps the most notable thing about Weiner was the fact his dad is the co-creator of the kidsa TV show Dora the Explorer. But that changed when a video of a man engaged in consensual sadomasochism was posted on Twitter by an anonymous account that claimed the man was Weiner. On Saturday, the New York Post ran a story about the video, complete with salacious screengrab. Pretty soon it made international headlines.

MPs ought to be embarrassed by a stunt designed to whip up animosity without addressing real problems of inequality and disadvantage
The chairman of parliamentas education select committee has produced a report designed not to illuminate a problem but divert attention from it. Conservative MP Robert Halfon and his colleagues think that awhite working-classa pupils have fallen behind because of the use of terms such as awhite privilegea. They suggest that there is an aindustrya benefiting non-white people. This is a ludicrous culture war stunt to whip up animosity without addressing real and growing problems of inequality and disadvantage.
In Mr Halfonas world, the awhite working classa is the victim of unfair racial competition in which it is outperformed by other minority ethnic groups. The framing is incendiary, and, as the report admits, the data is ropey. Eligibility for free school meals is a crude proxy for disadvantage. The support goes to children with parents who are not usually working; or are not employed more than 16 hours a week; or have very low incomes. How can Mr Halfon make claims about the awhite working classa when he is in fact talking about the poorest 13% of the total white cohort in English secondary schools?

Ebrahim Raisias engineered win is dispiriting for those inside and outside the country. But the nuclear dealas resurrection is still possible and necessary
The election of hardliner Ebrahim Raisi as Iranas new president is a dispiriting moment for those in the west striving to revive the nuclear deal. The Iranian electorate is hardly more enthusiastic. Battered by the economic fallout from Donald Trumpas withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agreement, the Covid pandemic and the inability of Hassan Rouhanias reformist government to deliver on promises and overcome obstruction by the clergy and Revolutionary Guard, voters were offered only an engineered election in which Mr Raisias victory was all but certain.
While past elections were tightly controlled a and the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei retained ultimate control regardless of the outcome a they have nonetheless been genuinely competitive. This time, leading reformists and centrists were removed as 600 candidates were whittled down; just four stood in the end. Mr Raisias 62% of the vote came on a turnout of 48%; in Tehran just 26% voted. While participation has at times been low, this was an all-time nadir for a presidential race in the Islamic Republic, and 3.7 million people spoiled their ballots.

Madeleine Worrall offers a solution that works well in Denmark while Peter Walker highlights a radical approach to empty properties that was used in the second world war. Plus letters from Jeremy Cushing and Andrew Beere
Re your editorial on second homes (21 June), there are useful models in European countries for the regulation of housing in rural and seaside communities. In Denmark (population around 5.5 million), there are around 200,000 summer houses. These cannot be used as year-round residences or bought by non-Danes without permission from the government.
This means that on a popular holiday island like Bornholm, local people can still afford homes because they live in houses classified as permanent residences, while Copenhageners, for instance, buy sensitively constructed holiday houses in peaceful wooded compounds that are controlled by strict planning laws. As they are generally attractive and well-built, there is no snobbery about them, in the way that there is in the UK, where purpose-built holiday accommodation is often in the form of static caravans, for instance, leading to wealthy incomers outpaying locals for picturesque houses in coastal villages.

Arts festivals in towns and cities across Britain are suffering just as much as music festivals (Summer festivals are crying out for help a but the Tories donat want to hear it, 20 June).

The expansion of the European Championship to 24 teams helped Scotland to return to tournament football after an absence of more than two decades. The format could not, though, assist with the end to another horror run. The Scots have still never emerged from the group phase of a competition. Victory here would have changed that statistic.

Fairness is at the heart of sport and without separate categories for the sexes there would be no women in Olympic finals
What is fairness? In sport, everything. From childhood, we come to see the head start in the playground race, the shove in the goalmouth, a rogue thumb on the egg (and spoon) as unjust, and quickly, loudly, aOi!a object.
The same sense of probity works its way up into professional sport. Sandpapering a cricket ball: not fair. Boxing with loaded gloves: not fair. Intentional misrepresentation in Paralympic classification: not fair. Colluding with betting syndicates to fix a result: not fair. Doping in sport: not fair. We classify our sports in order to pitch like against like and to keep people safe. Heavyweight boxers never fight flyweights. From puberty, the sexes compete separately in most sports most of the time. These are long accepted norms. Or were.

With 67 minutes gone at Wembley, with the game starting to sag a little and stretch towards its slightly fretful end notes, Jack Grealish could be seen walking slowly, steeped in a sudden fug of melancholy, towards the far touchline. It was a walk with a touch of theatre, a degree of flounce.
It would be wrong to read too much into it. Grealish flounces when heas happy. He had, earlier, flounced all over the opening 20 minutes of this game, creating the opening goal and, together with the hugely impressive Bukayo Saka, reworking not just the trajectory, but the basic sense of joy and possibilities around this rather gaunt and mannered England team.

A memorial plaque honouring campaigner Paulette Wilson has been unveiled on the Wolverhampton building that used to house Enoch Powellas constituency office, as part of a commemoration ceremony to mark Windrush Day.
Wilson, who died unexpectedly last year, aged 64, was one of the most vocal critics of the government over the Windrush scandal. In 2015 the former House of Commons canteen worker was misclassified by the Home Office as an illegal immigrant, and was twice arrested, before being detained and booked on to a flight back to Jamaica, the country where she was born, but had not visited in 49 years.

Suspect Steve Bouquet charged with deaths and injuries of cats after CCTV footage found
A security guard has gone on trial accused of killing and injuring 16 cats in a spate of attacks that left police stumped for months.
Detectives in the UK had struggled to identify the attacker after receiving anguished reports from owners of nine pets that had been killed, and a further seven injured, in October 2018 and July 2019.
A court heard that despite the force launching an operation to investigate the deaths in Brighton and Hove, no suspect was identified until a CCTV system set up by an owner of a slain cat appeared to capture on camera a different attack, on a nine-month-old kitten.
Rowan Jenkins, prosecuting, told jurors: aIn 2018 Sussex police commenced what became a major investigation following reports of domestic cats being targeted and deliberately stabbed in Brighton. Sometimes owners ... found that their cats were still alive and were able to take timely action to try and save them by rushing them to their vets.a

Comedian Iliza Schlesinger turns a true story from her dating life into an intermittently entertaining, if inconsequential, movie

First, and whatas often most depressingly appealing these days about a Netflix aoriginala is that it was produced by an actual studio before being acquired (in this instance, Universal), gracing it with the feel and aesthetic of a genuine movie. Second, itas based on a true story from comedian Iliza Schlesingeras life, one that sheas turned into a script, craftily giving herself her first major lead and also telling a dating story from an authentic place, rather than leaning on a married personas broad strokes idea of what swiping, flirting and shagging is like in the modern age.

Now, nearly six months into his presidency, several of those commitments are being put to the test, and already, many are falling apart.
A court last week ruled that the Biden administration did not have the authority to unilaterally pause oil and gas lease sales across the US. The decision came alongside news that congressional bargaining over Bidenas climate and infrastructure bill is hitting a wall with Republicans and the administration is now considering a slimmed-down version.

Viktor Orban has used a new law to equate gay people with paedophiles. Heas not the first to use this tactic
Last week, the Hungarian parliament banned any portrayal of homosexuality or transgenderism to minors, in educational material or on television. Appending this to a law protecting children from child abuse, the countryas president, Viktor OrbA!n, drew an explicit connection between homosexuality and paedophilia. In so doing, he resorted to a canard that much of the world has long dispensed with, but that is enjoying a troubling new emergence in the global battles against agender ideologya: the danger posed by homosexuals and trans people to children.
aThe logic of the government is to find an enemy and pretend that they are saving the country from this enemy,a said the Hungarian LGBTQ+ leader TamA!s Dombos in a presentation to the United States Congress last week. Dombos described the new law as aa conscious and diabolic political strategya by the government to divert public attention from its messy response to the Covid crisis. The law is also a salvo in a tough upcoming election, and an effective way of staking what I term a apink linea: a nativist boundary protecting, in this case, Hungarian avaluesa against the immoral imperialism of George Soros and Brussels.

Large-scale environmental destruction affects the future of all life on our planet. Criminalising it would finally hold decision-makers to account
An international team of lawyers co-chaired by Philippe Sands QC and Dior Fall Sow has presented the outcome of its work announced in November last year to develop a legal definition of ecocide. This is a crucial step towards adding ecocide to the list of other major offences recognised by the international criminal court (ICC), including crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide.
Making large-scale destruction of nature and its associated loss of biodiversity an international crime means that individuals, not legal entities, can be personally held accountable and prosecuted if found guilty. This implies that responsibility for damage cannot be dealt with by budgeting for potential fines. Corporations very rarely intend to cause mass damage and destruction; rather, it is a consequence of their activities. The proposed definition of ecocide describes the crime as one of recklessness; the perpetrator acted in the knowledge that there was asubstantial likelihooda of serious harm arising from their conduct, but they acted anyway.

Despite his protestations, they also have the motive, opportunity and weapons to deny that luxury to the reigning European champions at the Puskas Arena.
The France manager rejected the theory that his players will be motivated by the thought of potentially eliminating a major rival, and the team that denied them the Euro 2016 title on home soil, before the knockout stages have started. Winning, building confidence and gathering momentum are incentive enough for the world champions, Deschamps argued. But they know.

As party girl Marissa in The OC, Barton found fame at a time when young female stars were being hounded by the press. She talks about strength, resilience and her battle against revenge porn
For some actors, the roles they have played stick to them like shadows, long after they should have been left behind. Just ask Mischa Barton. It is 15 years since she starred as Marissa Cooper in the teen drama The OC, and yet still she canat shake her off. When Barton appeared in the reality show The Hills in 2019 a inspired by The OCas privileged young Californians but featuring real-life people a she was supposed to be herself, but the producers expected Cooper. aIt is the constant mistake,a she says wryly. aThey were even calling me by my character name. Seriously? Like, this far down the line they canat get my name right?a
The parallels, though, are irresistible. Marissa was a troubled party girl with a love of fashion who met a tragic end. Mischa (even their names are similar) was also a troubled party girl with a love of fashion, whose life at times seemed out of control. There was the extreme fame, the breakdown, the reported threats of suicide, estrangement from her parents and a arevenge porna court case. Barton has weathered it all with a sense of humour and now, at 35, a bit of perspective.

One of the first breast-pump designs derived from observing humans instead of bovine subjects, it seemed to her to be a prime candidate, following the path of other labor-saving devices aimed at women for the home. aWhy couldnat it be there, alongside the KitchenAid and Hoover and other things dreamed up in the mid-20th century that are now enshrined in design collections?a She was gently rebuffed, but she and fellow design historian Amber Winick continued on their own to pursue a larger project about reproduction and design. Post #MeToo, they found a publisher.

Despite comments he made in the past, the directoras production company Amblin has signed a multi-picture deal with the streaming giant. Should cinephiles be worried?
Did another citadel just fall? Has another general just presented his sword in surrender? Steven Spielbergas production company Amblin has signed a deal to produce multiple features a year for the streaming behemoth Netflix a which is precisely that small-screen player that Spielberg seemed to be rebuking two years ago when he proclaimed the importance of the theatrical experience and implied digital streaming content should not be eligible for Oscars. (Spielberg has since disputed the way his words were reported and interpreted.)
Well, now Spielberg has joined that other celluloid master, Martin Scorsese, in taking the Netflix dollar. Of course, this is not an exclusive deal: Amblin still has relationships with other studios, including Universal, and its own producing remit, after all, is for both film and television. It is also the case that Spielberg himself, though credited as a producer on them all, may not actually direct any of the films that are earmarked for Netflix. But it is still a mighty name for Netflix to have in the bag, and his prestige and the attendant coverage are still hugely important for the big streaming service, which is hyper-vigilant in its guarding against any slowing of momentum in subscription growth. We are, arguably, another step closer to the theatrical experience being just another aspect of the content rollout a a luxury loss-leader or promotional event, perhaps, while the main action involves consuming movies on laptops, tablets and even phones. Or are we approaching a postmodern cinema, which is a new version of its nickelodeon beginnings: watching flickering images once again on a tiny screen?

This special film follows a journalist and a theatre-maker as they attempt to reframe their national identity on stage, even as the project threatens their long friendship
Cinema is often connected to dreams and triumphs, and yet failure can make for a far more arresting subject. This astonishing documentary both demythologises the creative process and captures a tortuous artistic collaboration full of human messiness and complexity.
With an evocative opening image of a man paddling a small boat towards the shore, Sing, Freetown is about returning, both physically and metaphorically. The image recalls the history of Sierra Leone as a territory where liberated Africans resettled after the slave trade was outlawed. Bafta- and Emmy-winning journalist Sorious Samura is also on his own odyssey. Weary of reporting on the poverty and civil unrest in Africa, Samura has come back to Sierra Leone, his homeland, to create a theatre piece that is positive about the nationas pride and its rich history. Joining him is Charlie Haffner, Samuraas friend, mentor and founding figure of modern Sierra Leonean theatre. The pair encounter funding difficulties and resistance from the government. These are to be expected; what they do not predict is how the project would irretrievably puncture their relationship.

Foreign forays prompt questions about why US non-profit health systems are indulging in such nakedly commercial ventures
Across the street from the Buckingham Palace Garden and an ocean away from its Ohio headquarters, Cleveland Clinic is making a nearly $1bn bet that Europeans will embrace a hospital run by one of Americaas marquee health systems.
Cleveland Clinic London, scheduled to open for outpatient visits later this year and for overnight stays in 2022, will primarily offer elective surgeries and other treatments for the heart, brain, joints and digestive system. The London strategy attempts to attract a well-off, privately insured population: American expatriates, Europeans drawn by the clinicas reputation, and some Britons happy to pay. The hospital wonat offer less financially rewarding business lines, like emergency services.
