Churchill, who stood sometimes alone against the threat, would soon be turned out by the voters.

The beating of a young black man by police on the East Village last weekend should trouble all New Yorkers. Even more troubling is that the incident began with officers enforcing the city’s social distancing rules on the first summer-like weekend of the pandemic while white revelers lounged close together, unmolested, in parks nearby. Officers handed them masks instead.

If you work in the search engine optimization sector, you’ve probably heard too many times that ‘link-building is dead’. Well, yes and no.
Yes, because links alone won’t get you far these days. Search engines are constantly updating their algorithm; weeding out unnatural links or penalizing sites with spammy content. In fact, Google’s recent Phantom Update affected both small and large websites as it targeted thin, overused, and duplicated content.
No, because links are still the lifeblood of SEO and ...
