It is bordered by the state of New York to the west and the south, and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec to the northeast and north, respectively. The Atlantic Ocean is to the east and southeast, and Long Island Sound is to the south.
The puritan pilgrims from England first settled in the region in 1620, forming the Plymouth Colony, the first successful English settlement in the Americas. Ten years later, more Puritans settled north of Plymouth Colony in the greater Boston area, thus forming the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
You can take a virtual tour of the Mayflower ship, the first ship of the pilgrim in the video below. We take you inside the ship to show you how the early English immigrants lived, worked, slept, cooked and ate for months on a torturous and oftentimes dangerous ship journey.
Over the next 126 years, people in the region fought in four French and Indian Wars, until the British and their Iroquois allies defeated the French and their Algonquin allies in North America.
In 1692, the town of Salem, Massachusetts and the surrounding areas experienced one of the most infamous cases of mass hysteria in the history of the Western Hemisphere, the Salem witch trials.
In the late 18th century, political leaders from the New England Colonies known as the Sons of Liberty initiated the resistance to Britain’s efforts to impose new taxes without the consent of the colonists.
The Boston Tea Party was a protest to which Britain responded with a series of punitive laws stripping Massachusetts of self-government. These were termed the “Intolerable Acts” by the colonists.
The confrontation led to the first battles of the American Revolutionary War in 1775, and the expulsion of the British authorities from the region in the spring of 1776.
The region played a prominent role in the movement to abolish slavery in the United States and was the first region of the U.S. transformed by the Industrial Revolution, centered on the Blackstone and Merrimack river valleys.
The physical geography of New England is diverse for such a small area. Southeastern New England is covered by a narrow coastal plain, while the western and northern regions are dominated by the rolling hills and worn-down peaks of the northern end of the Appalachian Mountains.
With the Atlantic fall line lying so close to the coast, numerous industrial cities were able to take advantage of water power along the numerous rivers, such as the Connecticut River, which bisects the region from north to south.
The region is particularly known for its beautiful fall foliage. Take a look at the beautiful New England scenery in the video below.
Each state is principally subdivided into small incorporated municipalities, which are known as towns. These are often governed by town meetings. The only unincorporated areas in the region exist in the sparsely populated northern regions of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.
It maintains a strong sense of cultural identity, although the terms of this identity are often contrasted, combining Puritanism with liberalism, agrarian life with industry, and isolation with immigration.
More than 1 in 12 of Greensboro’s renter households were subject to eviction judgments in 2016, one of the highest rates of any large U.S. city. The city’s affordability challenges, though, are by no means unique. As seen in other places, stagnant incomes for poorer households haven’t kept up with steadily escalating rents, contributing to high evictions in areas all across the country. To make matters worse, a tornado ripped through the city in April, displacing many residents.
A recently launched Princeton University database compiled from 83 million court records dating back to 2000 provides the first-ever national look at evictions. The Eviction Lab project is led by Matthew Desmond, whose recent Pulitzer Prize-winning book Evicted sparked a national dialogue on the issue.
What the Rise in Renting Means for Cities The Unintended Consequences of Smoke-Free Public Housing Newly Elected Democratic Socialists Bring New Ideas on Affordable Housing Can Paying for the Poor to Have Lawyers Actually Save a City Money? With Child Homelessness on the Rise, What Can Schools Do?
Data reveal that high rates of evictions aren’t just confined to expensive housing markets or high-poverty cities. In Hampton, Va., for example, 1 in 10 renters faced a court-ordered eviction. And in Tulsa, Okla., and Killeen, Texas, the rate was 1 in 13. “Before these data, we really didn’t know just how widespread evictions were,” says Megan Hatch, who researches the issue at Cleveland State University.
The highest eviction rates were generally found in jurisdictions throughout the Southeast -- and not just in urban areas. Some rural and exurban places across the U.S. also experience elevated rates of eviction. Areas with high concentrations of African-Americans reported particularly high totals.
Brett Byerly, who heads the Greensboro Housing Coalition, a group providing housing counseling and support services, says an estimated 80 percent of the organization’s clients are black and most are women, mirroring disparities elsewhere. Governing’s calculations of Eviction Lab’s 2016 data for larger counties suggest eviction rates are strongly correlated with African-American populations, more so than poverty levels and rent burdens.
Nationally, Eviction Lab estimates suggest 2.3 percent of renters experienced a court-ordered eviction in 2016. But that’s a significant undercount. More than twice as many evictions were filed that never led to a judgment. Other instances when tenants left after receiving notice or were paid to do so also aren’t captured in court records. Desmond’s research has found such informal evictions accounted for nearly half the total in Milwaukee.
Most of the time, tenants threatened with eviction don’t show up to court hearings. In Guilford County, where Greensboro is located, only about a quarter appeared in court, according to Sills’ research. A big reason for this is that on top of potentially being evicted, Greensboro tenants appearing in court face the possibility of a cash judgment against them.
Ashley Gromis, an Eviction Lab researcher, says she was surprised to see many cases popping up in court systems with the same landlords and tenants at the same addresses. This suggests court filings are being used as a debt collection tool, with tenants likely repeatedly paying for a landlord’s court fee on top of any late fees.
Landlords further hold the upper hand in terms of legal representation. A 2004 study of Phoenix-area courts reported attorneys represented landlords in 87 percent of eviction cases, while not a single tenant had legal counsel. Some nonprofit groups provide free legal assistance, but there aren’t enough of them. There’s just one such legal aid firm serving Greensboro’s low-income renters and the rest of the state.
Byerly of the Greensboro Housing Coalition says it’s particularly difficult to find housing for those with an eviction on their record. That’s because landlords are screening prospective tenants with third-party companies that collect court data. California expanded a state law a few years ago that seals many of these eviction cases from the general public to help protect renters.
As in a lot of cities, Greensboro’s top evictor is the local public housing authority. Part of that’s due to the population such authorities serve and their large housing inventory. Sills says public housing residents are also subject to more inspections and stricter rules than people in private developments. Many worry the problem could worsen with a new federal mandate prohibiting smoking inside public housing and outdoor areas within 25 feet of buildings.
States’ landlord-tenant laws vary widely. Cleveland State’s Hatch reviewed all policies around rules such as how many days’ notice landlords must give before increasing rent or how long they have to wait before starting eviction proceedings for delinquent renters. Northeastern states, along with California and a few others, maintain the most pro-renter laws. North Carolina and other parts of the South and Midwest tended to favor landlords, according to Hatch’s research.
At the local level, New York last year became the first city to guarantee all low-income residents threatened with eviction the right to legal counsel. Other cities are establishing legal aid funds. A Harvard Law Review study found that renters assigned legal representation were significantly more likely to retain their residences following litigation than those without an attorney.
Another approach that’s gaining momentum is “just cause” provisions. To evict a tenant, landlords must provide a reason specifically permitted by a local ordinance. The requirement could also help avoid, say, large-scale evictions when a new owner acquires an apartment building. Housing advocates also suggest preventing evictions makes financial sense for cities given the high cost of providing services to those without a place to live. Some are pursuing eviction diversion programs, such as a mediation service Denver recently piloted.
Our Community Support Scheme has now donated over £150,000 to deserving causes throughout Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and surrounding areas since the Scheme was established in 2008. The milestone was reached when the Scheme’s trustees agreed to distribute another £20,000 to 40 groups in 2017 looking for funding to help bring their plans to life.
The Community Support Scheme was established to provide financial assistance to a range of local community groups, clubs and charities that selflessly devote their time and energy to improve the quality of life for communities throughout our region.
Applications are invited from organisations that assist the disadvantaged; promote and encourage participation in sporting activities or the arts; support education; or benefit the environment.
A total of 387 donations have now been made to local community groups since May 2008 with beneficiaries including Over 60's Youthful Group, Age UK Notts, Chesterfield Amateur Boxing Club, Mansfield First Responders, Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, Central Nottinghamshire MIND, Mansfield Senior Reds Walking Football Club, Mansfield and North Nottinghamshire Society for Deaf People and many, many more.
The Society’s donations have helped groups in our heartland area fund a variety of things, including new kayaks and associated safety equipment, defibrillators, a fibre optic carpet for those living with autism, and even a lawnmower for a local crown bowling club to maintain its facilities.
Gev Lynott, Chief Executive Officer at the Society, said “We’re delighted to have helped so many great causes across the region through our Community Support Scheme. I am always amazed by the selfless generosity of individuals who give their time week in, week out, to provide invaluable support to improve the lives of others.

Dr. Bethea speaks of a minimally invasive approach to treating patients.
Dr. Bethea is the founder of Greensboro Rejuvenation, an integrative health and wellness practice that specializes in regenerative medicine, using platelet-rich plasma (PRP), stem cells and other natural methods for wellness. Her practice takes a non-operative, non-opioid approach, with the focus on her patients’ overall long-term health.
Greensboro Rejuvenation also offers natural hormone replacement therapy, natural weight loss and nutritional IV supplementation.
A Thomasville native, Dr. Bethea grew up in High Point and Greensboro before her family relocated to West Virginia. She returned to the Tar Heel State in 1992. As a medical student at East Carolina University, she wanted to be a surgeon, and after graduating in 2001, completed her general surgery internship in Syracuse, N.Y.
In 2005, she completed her PM&R residency as chief resident at Sinai Hospital (University of Maryland) in Baltimore. Dr. Bethea is also fellowship trained in interventional spine and joint pain management and worked for a neurosurgical practice for three years before opening her own practice in Reidsville. In 2014 she moved that practice to Greensboro.
Platelet-rich plasma treatment, a natural procedure using the patient’s own blood, is one of the more rewarding services Dr. Bethea offers her patients. It is recommended for healing damaged or injured tissues. PRP involves drawing blood from a patient, spinning it in a centrifuge, and extracting the plasma and platelets from the whole blood, which are injected back into the painful, injured areas, on the same day.
One of her patients, Ann Hardee of Greensboro, a 69-year-old yoga instructor and real estate agent, agrees.
“Dr. Bethea evaluated my injury and injected PRP in February 2017. I felt immediate relief, and over the next eight weeks, the pain completely disappeared. I would repeat this treatment again and again over surgery if the pain ever returned. I have recommended this treatment to others as an amazing alternative to surgery,” she says.

Quite a few applied sciences permit digital paperwork to be signed. These embody digital signatures. Many states have legal guidelines governing digital signatures. The issue is that the State Digital Signature(s) legal guidelines should not uniform. The Nationwide Convention of Commissioners on Uniform State Legal guidelines and the American Regulation Institute promulgated the Uniform Electronics Act (UETA) in 1999. This act has been adopted, partly, by greater than forty states. A purchaser’s failure to object to phrases contained inside a shrink-wrapped software program bundle could represent an acceptance of the phrases – “it’s yours…you opened it, you keep it” – by conduct.

Ought to affords be accepted, essential phrases ought to at all times (or in any other case) be conspicuous and simply seen by on-line patrons.In just about each space of legislation, the usage of the Web to conduct enterprise actions had raised new authorized questions – or, extra usually, new variations on outdated questions. With respect to jurisdictions, that is actually true, and cited in The Fundamentals of Enterprise Regulation, authored by Roger Leroy Miller and Gaylord A. Jentz. “The bench is coming to some consensus regarding commerce cases before the courts that do not really fit into the categories and rules being developed by case law.” This level is the commerce clause in and of Interstate Commerce Rules, “Pro Tempore” (in the intervening time).An “E-Contract” is a contract that’s fashioned electronically. “E-Money” is pay as you go funds recorded on a pc or a card (akin to a wise card or a stored-value card – a present card). A “Destination Contract” is a contract for the sale of products wherein the vendor is required or approved to ship the products by provider and ship them at a selected vacation spot. The vendor assumes legal responsibility for any losses of harm to the products till they’re tendered on the vacation spot specified within the contract – underneath the auspices of Enterprise Regulation within the On-line World of Net Contracts and Jurisdiction.

A New York woman has become the latest plaintiff to file a lawsuit against American Medical Systems for serious injuries allegedly sustained as a result of transvaginal mesh. According to a complaint filed by the national law firm of Parker Waichman LLP, the plaintiff suffered life-changing injuries following implantation of American Medical Systems’ IntePro Large Pore Polypropelene Y-Sling.
According to the complaint, the woman, a resident from Monroe, New York, received the American Medical Systems transvaginal mesh device during surgery in 2008 to treat stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. The lawsuit alleges that she suffered a number of health consequences as a direct result of the device, including significant mental and physical pain and suffering, permanent injury, permanent and substantial physical deformity and loss of her bodily organ system. The lawsuit further claims that the IntePro Large Pore Polypropelene Y-Sling is defective, and increases the risk of vaginal erosion, infection, extrusion, perforation, chronic pain and/or abscess.
The lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, Charleston Division, where dozens of similar transvaginal mesh lawsuits are pending in the American Medical Systems, Inc., Pelvic Repair System Products Liability Litigation (MDL No. 2325).
The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has been conducting a safety review of transvaginal mesh devices since 2008. In January, it asked more than 30 companies that manufacture the products, including American Medical Systems, to conduct post-market safety studies of their devices. In July 2011, the agency revealed that it had received 2,874 reports of complications involving transvaginal mesh from 2008 to 2010. At the time, the FDA cautioned that transvaginal mesh may carry additional health risks while having little benefit over non-mesh methods used to repair stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.

From these definitions, you’d assume that designing a website only encompasses pictures, text, and the layout of the pages of a website. Which technically is true. However, in today’s world of search engine marketing (SEM), a pretty website is worthless if nobody finds it.
You need to do additional work to make the site optimized for ranking purposes and to drive traffic to it. Many make this a task to complete after the website design is complete. While that is certainly an option, we don’t believe it’s the best one.
Slapping a website on the internet isn’t enough for your online presence. You need to have the right keywords embedded into the site in order to start building your organic SEO. So why not do the required keyword research upfront during the design phase?
Web designers and SEO experts are sometimes at odds with their priorities. The goal of designers is to produce an aesthetically appealing site that communicates to visitors that they put great effort into the final product. SEO is not their priority. SEOs, however, tend to include code that is easily crawled, indexed, and understood by a search engine spider. It’s focused on keywords but can be difficult to navigate and doesn’t do a good job of lead conversion.
So what you need is a balancing act when it comes to creating a web design that is SEO-rich. Getting that result requires using a process to accomplish both goals (attractive and functional design AND keyword-rich optimization).
Besides, even if the keyword stuffing did rank you higher and drive traffic to your site, do you really think that visitors would stay there long if they didn’t find useful information?
An appropriate amount of time and effort should be allotted to keyword research. Choosing the right keywords for your business is crucial. Words or phrases that your target audience might include in queries to find your product or service need to be included in your web content strategically in a natural, relevant flow of content.
Websites need to be designed for use on multiple devices: laptops, tablets and mobile. Over 70% of internet searching is done via smart phones and that number will continue to grow. If your website isn’t designed to be mobile-friendly, it will be penalized, not only by the search engines but by prospective customers. Google rewards mobile-friendly websites with higher organic SEO rankings. Users will not stay long if they can’t navigate easily or see what they want on the site.
If you design the website from the get-go to automatically adjust for optimal display on all devices, you won’t have to worry about it later on.
These are behind-the-scene items in the HTML code that can boost SEO for the website. Remember, great design is to help the people who make it to your site, but the code is to help the search engines get them there.
The header tags include an overall summary of the page for search engines to use for ranking without having to read the rest of the page content. Including keywords in the headers will further optimize the site and make the content more organized and easier to read and understand.
A title tag is an HTML element that specifies the title of a web page. They are what appears in search results as a clickable link to the site. They should contain the primary keyword phrase, ideally at the beginning for best SEO results.
Search engines cannot scan images for keywords, so it’s important to add a title for them and include alt text that incorporates keywords.
Need a Website that Will Get You Leads?
If you don’t have a website at all, we can design you one that meets your specific business needs, includes SEO to get your ranked highly and will promote lead conversion. If you already have a website, let us run a complimentary SEO Report against it to show you how it ranks.
