(35)Figures not recorded
Jeremy Corbyn: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many inmates there are at HMP Holloway; what the average period of stay was of an inmate at that prison at the last date for which figures are available; and what the average number of remand prisoners in the institution was in the last period for which figures are available. [210706]
Paul Goggins: The population of HMP Holloway was 377 on 30 November 2004, of which 185 were remand prisoners. The average remand population at the prison for the year December 2003 to November 2004 was 273. The average time served (including remand time) in HMP Holloway for a sample of sentenced prisoners discharged in 2003 was 47 days per episode.
The information is as recorded on the Prison Service IT system, and data on average time served are provisional.
Mrs. Gillan: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many prisoners at (a) Elmley prison and (b) Swaleside prison have been reclassified from Category C to Category D in each year since 1997. [210954]
Paul Goggins: I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 1 February 2005, PQ 209863.

Mrs. Helen Clark: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how he will ensure that future organisational change in the probation service does not have a negative impact on (a) staff morale and (b) industrial relations. [205317]
Paul Goggins: We recognise the importance of positive engagement by staff, and the unions that represent them, in the development of National Offender Management Service (NOMS).
We have established a Joint Consultative Council (JCC) to provide a forum for communication, discussion, consultation and early information sharing between NOMS, all recognised trade unions and the Probation Boards Association (PBA). The JCC met on 12 November and 17 December.
We will also continue to invest in the probation service and, in particular to expand the workforce. In 1997 the service employed 13,968 staff. This had risen to 19,119 by 2004 and we plan to have around 21,000 in employment by April 2006.
The JCC is additional to existing methods of communication, consultation and negotiation in the National Probation Service (NPS).

The principal industrial relations forum for the NPS is the National Negotiating Council (NCC) which is comprised of the recognised trades unions in the NPS, the PBA and the National Probation Directorate. In addition there are forums representing senior managers and chief officers. The NNC will be critical to the successful implementation of any changes and the Home Office and NPD are committed which is designed to preserve and enhance staff morale in the service and promote a positive climate of industrial relations.
The NOMS Change Programme includes a Human Resources Sub-Programme, specifically intended to deliver policies, strategies and frameworks which will provide members of staff with the culture, values, skills and motivation required for the new organisation and new ways of working.
John McDonnell: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what the performance against targets of the national probation service during the period of April to September 2004 was; and what assessment he has made of the implications of that performance for the (a) quality of service and (b) cost effectiveness provided by the service. [210787]
Paul Goggins: The performance of the national probation service (NPS) in meeting its targets for April to September 2004 is set out in the table alongside its performance for 2003–04.

2 Feb 2005 : Column 979W
The comparison illustrates the real improvement that the NPS has achieved on most of its main service delivery targets, including those, such as basic skills, that were increased for 2004–05.
The budget for probation areas has increased by two per cent. in real terms in 2004–05. Much of this increase relates to funding capacity-building for the Criminal Justice Act 2003 and so is not directly related to the increase in performance. It is fair to say, therefore, that the improved performance has increased the cost-effectiveness of the NPS, so improving the value for money of the service delivered to the community.<eot>DIR-859 Wireless AC1750 Dual Band Gigabit Router | D-Link

Essay about borders and biking the Silk Road, published in The Georgia Review (Fall 2014) and cited in Best American Travel Writing 2015. Read it online here.
"My obsession with borders was born all at once in three different countries, depending on who you ask. I was in my early twenties, biking with a friend across the parched soda plains of the Askai Chin. For weeks we traversed this high-altitude wilderness, a land spread wide as wings, folded here and there into mountains. Turquoise lakes glimmered in the distance like puddles of sky. The horizon was more a hesitation than a hard edge, and every so often it spat out a dust tornado that would skim across the road just meters ahead of us, its flue curved into a question mark missing its point.
On a daily basis the wild fact of being here knocked me sideways with astonishment. Where on this spinning world was I? Ask a Chinese, and I was in China; an Indian, and I was in India; a Tibetan, and I was in Tibet. Ask me, and I was in paradise, no further names necessary."
Essay about an off-season ski traverse of the Hardangervidda Plateau in Norway, published by CutBank, reprinted in Drunken Boat, and cited in Best American Essays 2013. You can read it here.
"There is nothing practical whatsoever about this expedition: we have no ambitions to make history, plant flags, claim territory, collect specimens, chart maps, win fame, or curry the favors of kings and queens. We are simply here to study the contours of cold, and apprentice ourselves to wildness along the way. The goal is something like sublimation, ice loosed straight to sky."

With such a niche audience, your company may find it difficult to reach potential customers.
SEO is the solution you need.
In fact, we believe that SEO for building restoration companies is the best marketing strategy that you could invest in.
What Is SEO?
SEO stands for “search engine optimization”. It is the process of improving the position of your website on search engines through the use of specific tactics such as using certain keywords, adjusting technical aspects of your website, and building backlinks.
This boosts your visibility and enhances your presence online.
What are the benefits of SEO?
Increased visibility: Whenever people search for terms relevant to your business your brand is at the top of the list.
Increased traffic: With increased visibility comes increased visitors to your website each and every day.
Increased revenue: More visitors to your website means more potential clients becoming familiar with your services and picking up the phone to call.
Remember, the ultimate goal is to enhance your visibility and increase your chance of getting clients.
Why SEO Matters For Your Building Restoration Company
The success of your company can be directly tied to the quality of your website and the quality of your online marketing.
Research shows that 63% of consumers are increasingly likely to choose a company with a website with a professional design and relevant content.
Your site will also attract clients and prospects who are searching for the type of services you provide. If your company isn't visible online, there are a large number of potential customers that will never even know your name.
Designing Your Build Restoration Company's SEO Strategy
There are several factors that go into building out a solid SEO strategy.
First, you need to understand your current situation. Without proper benchmarking, it will be impossible to gauge the success of your efforts. After that, you have to do proper keyword research to see what your opportunities are?
After that, you must audit your website. When we audit a website we look at over 100 different items that impact your rankings in search.
Look at simple things such as the title of your website. Is that optimized for search? Look at your images and be sure that you're using the appropriate alt text. Every part of your website should be designed to give you maximum exposure.
Next, comes implementation. All of the opportunities that were identified in the audit should be put into place. This can involve a considerable amount of development work.
Outside of your website, you'll also need local citations and an optimized Google My Business listing.
You'll also need backlinks from other websites. Done correctly, these links can have a powerful effect. Done incorrectly, these links can get you placed in the Google doghouse, never to be seen again.
Keyword Research
Let's begin by focusing on the title of your website's pages. Obviously, the name of these pages should set a clear expectation and include your target keyword.
Make sure that potential customers know that your business offers a one-stop solution for their building restoration needs.
Review the competition. Take note of the competition's ranking keywords. You should study and compare keywords to see if you can make yours more competitive by optimizing your content in a different manner.
Your website should be built with a clear keyword strategy in order to drive traffic to your company's site.
Optimize Your Site
As mentioned earlier, after your audit you have to put into place all of those identified opportunities Here are some of the things you can do to get a little more exposure:
Ensure all of your images are using alt text
Include your keyword in the title of your page
Link internally to all pages of your website
Speed up your website's loading speed
