The combined forces of Asgard face Hela and her army. As they fight, Loki enters the fray, without explanation of how he escaped his chains. He soon falls, and afterward, the Midgard Serpent appears.
While the rest of the Asgardians fight for Asgard, Sif convinces Norvell to take her back to Asgard so that he and she might join the fight. They do, although the Midgard Serpent soon claims Norvell’s life. The Odinson reclaims his hammer and uses it to kill the Midard Serpent, which is not supposed to happen.
Having no idea what the hell is going on at this point, Hela calls for a retreat. Her army departs, leaving the Asgardians to marshal their forces and take stock. Norvell is dead, Joey is dead, but now that the danger has passed, there is a flare, and Balder is restored to a state resembling the Odinsleep.
Odin, seemingly back to full strength explains: He knew that Loki and Hela were determined to kick-start Ragnarok and that they had knowledge of Volla’s prophesies. His plan was to confuse them to the point where they could no longer use the prophesies as a road map. Most of the recent battle was an illusion brought forth by Odin, including the presence of Loki and the Midgard serpent, as well as all of the Asgardian fatalities.
Thor, as usual, is angered at the manipulation on the part of his father and prepares to storm off to Midgard. Odin is sick of Thor dividing his time between the two world. He commands Thor to stay in Asgard. Thor defies his father and gets himself banished again. He begs Sif to come with him, reminding her that Jane Foster is trapped inside her, but Sif does not have it in her to defy her king.
Thor returns to Earth with Hobbs and his dead camera crew towed in a big net. Upon his arrival, he says his goodbye to Hobbs and tells the reporter that he has to deal with the Celestials. | 2019-04-22T13:59:08Z | http://the-triangle.net/?p=2097 |
For lost and found items during the festival, go to security headquarters on the right side of the large blue barn, next to the Merch & CD Barn, up the hill from the food vendors. If you are looking for something after the festival, all lost and found items have been taken to the Trumansburg Police Department. Please, visit their website www.trumansburgpolice.com and click on the GrassRoots Lost Property link to left of the page.
MY TICKET DIDN'T COME IN THE MAIL. WHAT DO I DO?
NO TICKETS ARE BEING MAILED. When you ordered your ticket, a confirmation email was sent to the email address you entered. This confirms your order. You can either print your ticket to be scanned at the gate, or better yet, if you have one of them fancy smart phones, we can scan it from there. This is a great way to save paper, and you don't have to keep track of your paper ticket. We also are able to look up your order if you for whatever reason were unable to print it and can't access it from your phone.
All ticket sales are final. We are sorry, but we are not able to provide refunds.
Stuff happens. The resale of GrassRoots Festival tickets is allowed if you are unable to attend.
Plan your arrival. In order to get your wristband, only arrive at times when the ticket windows are open. Once you get your wristband you can come and go at any time.
The front gate (main gate) opens at noon on Thursday. The back gate (vehicle camper gate) opens at noon to vehicles only. Pedestrians may not enter the back gate until after 3pm on Thursday. Pedestrians must use the front gate. Our Across the Way area is open the week before. Visit the camping page for specific hours.
Is there re-entry to the festival? Do gates close?
Of course! The gates are open from the beginning of the festival 'til the end. You may come and go as you please. Do not remove your wristband. You must have your wristband on to get back into the festival.
Which gate do I go to?
If you are camping, please visit the Camping page on our website to find out what gate to enter in through upon arrival. If you are not camping, please enter through the main front gate located on Rt 96.
Yes. But please note that space on the festival site is extremely limited, and though we actively follow and exceed New York State guidelines for the number of handicapped spaces to provide for a festival of our size, we cannot guarantee an on-site handicapped parking space for anyone. These spaces are first-come, first-serve.
We strongly encourage you to park your car at the Across the Way parking area (there will be spaces reserved at the front of the lot) and ride the shuttle to the front gate. There is an accessible shuttle during peak hours on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday when on-site handicap parking is likely to be full.
If you need to have your car near you and you are planning to stay for the whole weekend, and sleeping over: you'll need to purchase onsite vehicle camping. You must purchase this in advance.
If you need to have your car close to you for medical reasons (i.e. oxygen tank), come to the front gate and explain to the volunteer who greets your car that you need to be near your car and they will show you where to park inside the front gate. However, there is extremely limited space here and can fill up.
If you are not able to park at Across The Way because it is outside of shuttle hours, but don't necessarily need your car near you, come to the back gate and the volunteer who greets your car will show you a parking space near the back gate. You are more likely to find an available handicapped parking space entering the back gate than the front.
GADABOUT Transportation Services will be providing a FREE shuttle service from Across the Way on Falls Road to the Festival Site during peak hours Thursday, Friday, and Saturday hours for those with accessibility needs.
There is, indeed! It is located near the entrance of the General Store inside the festival (where the CDs and Tshirts are sold).
Are food and beverages sold at the festival?
There is a very diverse and plentiful array of food vendors on-site, and all of them have a variety of thirst-quenchers. There are also three beer & wine gardens throughout the festival. If you're 21 or over, it's a great place to relax and have a drink!
Are there grocery stores near the festival?
Yes! There is a general grocery store (Tburg ShurSave) directly across the street from the festival, as well as a small natural foods store (Good to Go! Trumansburg Market) a mile down the road on Main Street. There is a pharmacy (Kinney Drugs) next to the fairgrounds which carries convenience items, and there is also a service station (Byrne Dairy) right beside the festival site.
Can I bring my own cooler with food & drink?
Yes! You can bring your cooler onto either the Festival Site or the Across the Way area. Coolers are checked at the main festival gate as a safety precaution. Please, remember we ask that you do not bring bottled beer, cans only.
Can I have glass bottles at the festival?
No glass bottles are allowed anywhere inside the fairgrounds and coolers will be searched at the gate. Barefoot children are often the victims of broken glass cuts, so let's all try to keep the festival clean and safe for everyone. Also, please put all beverages in a cup or koozie, and don't forget to recycle!!
Please, no pets! No dogs or pets of any kind allowed anywhere On-site or Across the Way... as much for the dogs' sake as the people's. Size of the dog doesn't matter. No pet or emotional support dogs. Only service dogs. Please respect this policy. Local kennels: The Lucky Dog Inn (607) 272-3708; Bed and Biscuit (607) 277-2126.
On-site camping is sold in advance of the festival and does sell out. Check the Tickets page on our website to see the status of available camping.
Are there hotels in Trumansburg?
While Trumansburg is the home of many beautiful Bed and Breakfasts, there are no hotels. The closest hotels are in Ithaca (10 miles South of Trumansburg) - make reservations early!
What sort of facilities does the festival have?
All camping is primitive. There are no electric or water hookups. There are rustic showers both On-site and Across the Way. There are portable toilets both On-site and Across the Way. There are drinking water spigots throughout both areas as well.
How is cell service? will i be able to CHARGE MY PHONE?
Your cell phone should work just fine at the festival. And, yes! With the support of Renovus Solar, we now offer a solar-powered charging station for cell phones and other gadgetry. You can find it at the Sustainability Fair on the track toward the Grandstand Stage.
Can I take photographs or video at the festival?
Amateur photography is always welcome, and if you happen to get any great snapshots, we'd love to have you send us a copy! Videotaping your family and friends is also okay. However, any videotaping of bands must be strictly for home or personal use and may NOT be sold or broadcast for any reason without the explicit permission of both the festival and the artist. Audio-taping is allowed by the festival, but permission needs to be maintained by each individual band. Sound board patches may not be made available at all shows. A soundboard patch is available at the discretion of the GrassRoots staff and the performing artist. Plan on providing your own power. Come prepared.
I have an urgent question or concern. Who do I call?
Before the festival begins, you may call the main office at (607) 387-5098. However, during the festival, the office is CLOSED. There is no phone number to call on the festival site. All issues must be dealt with at the front gate (box office window) when you arrive, or they must wait until after the festival. If you have a ticket issue, most likely it can be dealt with at the gate. If you have an emergency, contact the Trumansburg Police at (607) 387-6505.
How can I be reached in case of an emergency?
Get in touch with the Trumansburg Police at (607) 387-6505. We are in constant contact with the local law enforcement agencies during the festival and they will alert us.
What do I do if I get separated from my child?
Lost and found children are taken to the Emergency Medical Services tent (if you're walking in the front gate, turn left, and you'll find it there). We provide younger children with a paper arm band and ask parents to write their cell phone number on this band, so if we find your little one, we can easily get in touch with you. It's also a good idea to show your kids where the Emergency Medical Services tent is located, and perhaps point out the fact that the paramedics and EMTs are wearing a special color shirt as are the security guards, so if they get lost, finding one of those people will be safe and easy.
Is there medical personnel at the festival?
There are ambulances and a full time, professional staff of trained medical personnel at the Emergency Medical Services tent on-site. There is also an Emergency Medical Services tent at the Across the Way area and an ambulance on call to this area. The EMS staff does NOT dispense medication of any kind, so please be sure to bring those items with you. If you have insulin or any other medication that needs refrigeration or storage, bring it to them as soon as you arrive, and they will happily store it for you. They can also provide power for things like nebulizer treatments; again, check in upon arrival and introduce yourself. | 2019-04-25T23:51:02Z | https://www.grassrootsfest.org/faqs |
Every single era in history has idealised a different type of woman’s body. You had slim and athletic for the Ancient Egyptians, plump and curvy for the Renaissance, hourglass for the 1950s, heroin chic for the 1990s and bootylicious for today. Let me tell you something. Our bodies are not fashion trends! However, these idealised body types dictate fashion trends, to such an extent that even Vogue said cleavage was dead in 2016.
Fashions that are inspired by a certain type of female body constantly change and consequently they don’t fit and suit everyone. Yet because its a trend many of us follow them without thinking. As much as I love 1920s fashion, it definitely would not have suited my hourglass shape. If I had been alive during that time I would have had to wait 30 YEARS until the 1950s when trends emerged that suited my body shape. The point I am trying to make is that why wait for the trends, that will suit us perfectly while wearing our ill fitted outfits that don’t suit us now. Basically, many trends lie to us and tell us that we look good and that we are supposed to feel good. However, feeling good is something that can’t be dictated to us by an external force, it is something that comes from within.
Wearing something that makes us feel bad is like wearing the clothing equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. Its something that sends a shiver down our spine and lingers in our mind for hours after. If your dress is too tight, you can’t eat a big lunch or sit down too quickly in case you tear your dress. A lot of people operate with the mindset “I will dress to look good” but this is completely missing the point. Operating with that mindset means that feeling good is at the very least your second priority when dressing, when it should be your first priority.
Feeling good means to wear clothing that makes you feel good on the outside and inside. When you dress to feel good, you are focused entirely on you and what you like, not what some random stranger likes. This doesn’t mean you have to abandon style, because style doesn’t have to mean frivolity or discomfort. Style literally means fashionable and sophisticated, that definition is pretty subjective. Your own personal style is therefore what is reflective of you. Personal style is individual it should be tailored to your needs and likes.
There are three key things that make you feel good when wearing clothes, if it fits, if it suits and if its comfortable. The greatest thing about feeling good is the changes it makes to your overall appearance. It changes your expression and it changes the way you walk. You don’t have to be the most conventionally attractive or keep up with the latest styles to be the best dressed in the room. The best dressed person is always the one who prioritises themselves first. They dress the way they do because it feels right, it makes everything come together.
Often it isn’t the clothes you wear but how you wear them that determines how you’ll feel in them. You can’t wear clothes well if you don’t feel good in them. You don’t have to ditch the fashion trends, just remember that no one is a mannequin in a store. We are all unique individuals with a wide variety of body shapes, therefore we all need to dress to feel good. It is the most important thing because we don’t need to worry about our outfits, we don’t need to wear that expression of discomfort on our faces. Feeling good means we can feel more confident and happy. Feeling good is the essential ingredient that ties everything we are wearing together. We can never take it for granted.
Next Post Thank God for the 1920s! | 2019-04-23T00:59:58Z | https://stylessed.com/2018/09/07/feeling-good-is-the-most-important-thing/ |

Forklifts unquestionably have made construction work immeasurably easier. That said, these immensely powerful machines can cause serious injuries in warehouses, plants, construction sites, fields and other workplaces. Forklift accidents often result in catastrophic accidents and injuries, including paralysis, spinal cord injury, amputation, broken bones, brain damage, and other serious injuries due to the powerful force and dangerous nature of forklifts. Call us today: 702-252-0055.
When a person is injured by a forklift, it is important to know that you may have recourse in the form of a product liability or personal injury lawsuit, depending on the circumstances surrounding your accident. Get in touch as soon as possible to inform yourself of your options.
Companies need training to ensure their forklift drivers know how to safely operate the equipment. According to USFC (US Forklift Operator Certification) , OSHA requires all forklift operators in Nevada to be certified at least once every three years. This is to help ensure that accidents don’t occur from operators being unfamiliar with the equipment and understand the threat heavy equipment poses to bystanders. Forklift training may vary from company to company as OSHA itself does not provide the training. It is up to the employer of forklift operators to set up and/or provide the training program.
There is good reason for this certification, although, in some cases it’s obviously not enough to ensure safety. Forklifts are heavy vehicles capable of lifting thousands of pounds high above the vehicle. This requires a substantial amount of weight to be at the base of the vehicle which also means that the vehicle itself is quite powerful to move it’s own weight as well as the weight of the load it is carrying. Beyond that, the forks have to be constructed of heavy metal capable of withstanding a lat of weight extended out on the forks. This combination of weight, power & heavy metal is the perfect cocktail for serious injury under the right circumstances. In the hands of an inexperience driver, even if they are certified, this could be devastating to an innocent bystander or other employees. It doesn’t take much impact form something as solid as the fork or the body of the vehicle itself to inflict serious injury. What may seem nothing more than a little bump to the driver could be extensive damage & injury to someone struck by any aspect of this vehicle. That’s not even accounting for the potential for heavy loads being carried or recently place to fall on someone near by.
Forklift cases can be complicated and costly, requiring the hiring of construction and equipment experts. At Ladah Law Firm, PLLC, we are prepared to spend money on your case to make sure we win. From there we will bring our expertise to do everything we can to recover compensation for injuries to the head, brain, internal organs, spine, bones or other body parts. Using our comprehensive knowledge and rigorous approach to discovery, we will build the case to maximize your compensation and benefits. We are dedicated to your future & and urge you to connect with us as early as possible after being injured.

Friedrichshafen, Germany. ZF Friedrichshafen AG will increase their research and development spending again and work even faster to produce technologies for the future of mobility. CEO Wolf-Henning Scheider, who has been in office since February 1, made this statement at the company’s annual press conference in Friedrichshafen today. ZF ended the fiscal year 2017 with record sales of €36.4 billion, which, when adjusted for exchange rate effects and M&A activities, elicited organic growth of 6 percent. ZF also further reduced the debt incurred from the acquisition of TRW Automotive and posted a higher adjusted EBIT of €2.3 billion, despite increased research and development costs.
In 2017, ZF spent €2.2 billion on research and development, an increase of almost 15 percent compared to 2016. This year, significantly more than two billion is set to be channeled into development work around the world, with the aim of advancing electric drives and the hybridization of transmission technology as well as vehicle safety systems and automated driving. This means that the share of the budget allocated to R&D will be raised from 6.1 percent to around 6.5 percent this year. Equally, ZF wishes to continue investing in property, plant and equipment (2017: €1.4 billion). Two new plants for the production of electric drive components are planned, among other things.
In 2017, ZF experienced a nominal increase of 3.6 percent to €36.4 billion in Group sales (2016: €35.2 billion). Adjusted for exchange rate effects and M&A activities, organic sales growth is six percent. “This result shows our employees’ commitment and high level of motivation,” said Scheider. The Commercial Vehicle Technology and Car Powertrain Technology Divisions had above-average sales increases of 7.2 percent and 9.3 percent, respectively. “Our extremely efficient automatic passenger car transmissions contribute to reducing CO2emissions. They are therefore a key component in attaining the European limit targets and global climate targets, and are in high demand. Combined with the highly integrated electric motor, this technology still features great growth potential,” said Scheider.
Regional growth was mixed. In both Europe and North America, sales rose by over three percent. Organic growth of eight percent in the Asia-Pacific region was reduced to around two percent by the negative currency effect of the Chinese Renminbi. It appears that the economic crisis in South America has, to a large extent, been overcome. Sales there increased significantly by around 26 percent, coming from a low level.
The headcount for the ZF Group was 146,148 on the effective date, December 31, 2017 (2016: 136,820). Additional posts were created mainly in China, Mexico, Portugal, the USA and Germany, most of them within the Active & Passive Safety Technology, E-Mobility, Car Chassis Technology and Car Powertrain Technology Divisions. Of these, around 1,700 worldwide were attributed to research and development alone.
In around two and a half years after acquiring TRW Automotive in May 2015, ZF succeeded in reducing gross debt to €6.4 billion, almost half of the original amount, by the end of 2017. “Based on the strong free cash flow, our aim is to further reduce financial liabilities and continue to drive forward the debt relief of the ZF Group in 2018,” said Sauer.
Market development is volatile around the world. Taking this into consideration, ZF CEO Scheider predicts organic growth of around five percent for 2018. ZF expects to conclude the sale of the Body Control Systems Business Unit to Luxshare soon, which will result in a proportional drop in sales. Consequently, ZF expects Group sales of around €36.5 billion. As in the previous year, ZF is aiming to achieve an adjusted EBIT of around six percent and an adjusted free cash flow of over one billion euros.
ZF teams would constantly have to be recreated, strictly according to the current project requirements so that they can answer the questions of the future, in order to quickly develop the best possible solutions for the customers. Several automated driving projects serve as examples for this. “In conjunction with our tried-and-trusted development of volume production projects in the traditional fields, we now also work with a dual operating system,” explained Scheider. | 2019-04-19T16:38:01Z | https://www.inthebite.com/tag/mobility/ |

In the world of cops, drive-by killings don't rank high on the popularity charts. They're usually random, and barring credible witnesses, they largely go unsolved. So when Father Robert O'Brien, a popular Washington priest with a high public profile, is murdered in a drive-by shooting, D.C. police aren't beating down doors to get the case.
Homicide detectives Frank Kearney and José Phelps have been members of the force for twenty-five years, partners from the start. They're smart cops - smart enough to know they've been played for patsies when the O'Brien murder lands in their laps. This is payback time for two cops who've been a little too brash, a little too independent.
But what appears to be a motiveless drive-by in a city with one of the nation's highest homicide rates soon turns into a dirtier, far more complex case involving corrupt politicians, self-serving media, warring drug lords, millions of dollars in questionable cash - and more murder. As Frank and José dig deeper, fending off the police bureaucracy and meddling politicos, it becomes increasingly clear that this case might cost them more than their careers. It might cost them their lives. | 2019-04-26T09:53:50Z | https://ar.scribd.com/audiobook/237826411/A-Murder-of-Honor |

The 24-Hour Mommy: Star of The Day!
It's late already and I'm still not sleepy. I still can't get over the fact that I witnessed how my son gave his best performance to date. I am so happy that the decision to enroll him at the Center for Pop Philippines is all worth it.
The practicum event is usually given during the middle of the course. Rap is already on his 13th session at the Center for Pop SM Megamall branch and he has already shown amazing improvements when it comes to stage performance and confidence.
For all his efforts, he was awarded the most prestigious award of the day, the Star of the Day award, along with 3 other awards namely Best in Stress, Best in Stage Performance, and Most Applauded. I'm still waiting for the videos to finish uploading in YouTube. But if you have time, kindly watch him sing by visiting my YouTube channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/mauieflores.

In this third part of the series, we will see something similar to the second article but a little bit more advanced. This article will cover the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) and Digital Signature Standard (DSS).
Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) is a public-key signature scheme developed by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA). It was proposed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) back in 1991 and has become a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS 186) called the Digital Signature Standard (DSS). It is considered to be the first digital signature scheme recognized by any government. DSA is a variant of the ElGamal Signature Scheme.
Public keys are: (Q, P, G and Y). Private key is X (To find X one must solve the DLP Problem).
The pair C(R,S) is the signature of M.
Using the tool that I’ve recently made, “DSAKEYGENERATOR“, we’ll be able to see the previous steps in action. The tool is user friendly and gives full control, meaning you can either generate keys and test them and/or input your own keys and work on them.
Prime P bits size from 512 to 1024.
Calculate Y in case you’ve already had the keys from somewhere else.
Generate new G and X keys, Y will also be calculated automatically.
A checkbox that generates a random K every one second (checked by default and must be unchecked when trying to sign).
Button to sign a message.
Button to verify a message.
That’s something new, we have a non-packed/protected .NET application, not like the previous two challenges which were made in MASM, but that’s not a problem.
Since it’s a .NET application, we cannot use OllyDbg, instead we’ll use .NET Reflector.
[0-9A-Fa-f]: One from 0 to 9, A to F or a to f.
So the serial must contain 40 hexadecimal characters, a hyphen ‘-‘ and another 40 hexadecimal characters.
If name and serial are okay, the serial will be split into two parts, the first part before the hyphen and the second part after the hyphen, and put in a string array called strArray.
After that, a method is called to check whether the serial is right or wrong; this method has three string parameters verify(string name, string rx, string sx) and returns a bool.
Now we have everything we need, the only problem is that it will take so much time to solve DLP since P, G and Y are 512 bits size. So what we are going to do is to change the challenge’s keys with new ones that we will have their private key X, meaning we are going to patch the target. And that’s the job of Reflexil.
First open DSAKeygenerator and generate some 512 bit keys. Leave it open.
Choose the dll file and close.
Now go back to menu Tools and click Reflexil.
Right Click on Offset 0 and click Edit.
Change the operand at offset 0 with the generated Q in DSAKeygenerator. The same to offset 13 with P, offset 26 with G and offset 39 with Y.
The above picture shows that we have successfully registered the application.
The whole idea behind this article was to show you that the key size is no problem once you completely understand the algorithm. But there still plenty of ways to manage that problem, depending on how the programmer thinks. | 2019-04-21T01:05:12Z | https://resources.infosecinstitute.com/breaking-software-protection-dsadss/ |

Commuters who travel on the Barking to Gospel Oak Overground line have had a relatively relaxing journey to work for the last week or so since it reopened.
But from November 18 they will be forced back into the already congested Tube system or onto London’s buses due to another two-month closure.
The reason for the latest disturbance is to finally finish electrification works on the line. The works were also the reason it was closed between September 17 and October 22 and the same reason it was shut from June last year until the end of February.
During the eight-month closure, an engineering design gaffe by Network Rail meant the structures that carry overhead wires necessary to upgrade the 14-mile line were “incorrectly designed” and could not be installed. Materials were also delivered late, which amplified the delay.
TfL, which put up the cash for the works, said it was “extremely disappointed” and would be “seeking compensation” at the time.
Jonathan Fox, TfL’s director of London rail, added Network Rail did not inform TfL of the “significant problems” until very late in the work schedule.
The light at the end of the tunnel is that some electric freight services are expected to be able to start running by Spring 2018, with new four-carriage electric trains following on within a month or two.
For the next installment, replacement buses will run as usual between Barking and Walthamstow Central, and between Seven Sisters and Gospel Oak, with passengers encouraged to take the Victoria line to connect between the two bus routes.
Regular users of the line who have to take trains or the Tube instead will be automatically refunded the extra cost of passing through zone 1.
The Gazette has asked Network Rail whether the Crouch Hill bridge will be raised during the closure. It was announced it would have to be raised to allow the electric wires to pass under it but no date has been given for the work. | 2019-04-23T06:20:07Z | https://www.islingtongazette.co.uk/news/gospel-oak-to-barking-overground-line-closures-to-run-into-2018-thanks-to-network-rail-gaffe-1-5259987 |

A fast website is an absolute must for your online business. Whether you are a blogger, business owner, or an ecommerce store owner, fast loading websites deliver better user experience, seamless browsing across the website and reduced consumption of resources (particularly RAM and bandwidth).
Improved user experience for visitors coming from diverse sources.
Search engines love fast websites and rank them higher in SERP.
A fast WordPress website naturally has more page views than a bloated website that loads slowly.
The problem is that speeding up WordPress websites is not a simple matter of setting up a few options. Rather, it is a combination of various factors and options that come together in the form of a fast website. In this article, I will highlight 26 ways in which you could speed up a WordPress website.
Every WordPress website has a beginning. In my opinion, once you have decided upon the name of the website, the real starting point is the selection of the theme.
The internet is overflowing with WordPress themes. In fact, the official WordPress Theme Repository has thousand of themes. In addition, dedicated theme websites such as ThemeForest add a couple of thousands to the list of WordPress themes.
Is the theme based on an optimized framework such as Bootstrap, Thesis or Genesis?
Is the theme minimalistic with little eye candy?
Is the HTML code optimized?
Is the size of theme files small?
Is the WordPress theme free of bloated options that nobody ever uses?
If the answer of any of the above questions is in negative, chances are that the chosen WordPress theme will slow your website to a crawl.
Finding lightweight WordPress themes is hard and my suggestion is that if you just starting out, then go with a default WordPress theme like Twenty Sixteen or Twenty Seventeen.
You should take the hosting for your website very seriously. In fact, this is the most important decision you will ever make for your website. A reputable hosting solution for your website will definitely lower the page load time for your website.
So what defines a good WordPress Hosting provider?
My recommendation is to stay far away from such hosts, and instead, search for hosts that provide optimized WordPress Hosting. These hosting providers are not cheap, usually, cost more and have several usage related restrictions. However, their customer support is exceptional when it comes to solving WordPress speed optimization related issues and their servers are optimized to handle spikes in traffic on WordPress websites.
To further complicate matters, WordPress hosting providers can be categorized into the following categories.
Shared hosting providers often offer cheap deals that look very good. However, remember that in return for the low prices, you will be sharing your server (IP address) with other websites and the quality of services is not that great. Bluehost, NameCheap and Godaddy are three well known shared hosting providers.
Dedicated hosting plans are expensive and require you to have an expert system administrator on your staff to optimize the servers for WordPress. These hosting solutions are hard to maintain but can usually deliver exceptional performance (if optimized perfectly). Siteground, Godaddy, Nexcess are a few popular dedicated hosting providers.
These days, VPS hosting has become very popular, with DigitalOcean being the most popular. These hosting solutions have high performance, reliability, and scalability. But, you will need an expert to optimize your VPS hosting solution for WordPress.
Cloud hosting offers very high performance and is usually expensive. In fact, many experts consider this to be the most reliable hosting solution of all types of websites. Amazon EC2, Linode, Google Compute Engine are some popular cloud hosting solution providers. Going for cloud hosting providers is one of the most effective ways to speed up WordPress website.
Some of the best-Managed WordPress Hosting providers are WPEngine, GetFlyWheel, Pagely, Pantheon, Kinsta and Cloudways.
What I love about WordPress is the fact that whatever functionality you may think of adding to a WordPress website, chances are that there is already a plugin in the WordPress.org plugin repository that does the trick.
With so many plugins available, WordPress website administrators sometimes get carried away and load the website with all sorts of plugins. However, you should know that the higher the number of plugins, the more will be the page load time of the website. Having an overwhelming number of plugins will come in your way if you want to speed up WordPress website.
I strongly recommend that you use as few plugins as possible for WordPress speed optimization and always opt for plugins from reputable developers. These plugins are specially optimized for any plugins that have a good reputation. Reputable plugins are known to perform well and have optimized code that really speeds up the website.
So you got carried away and installed all the plugins you could find. Now if you think that you could deactivate the plugins and speed up WordPress website, you are very wrong! The only solution, in this case, is to delete all unused plugins and themes from the WordPress website. Deleting unused plugins and themes will reduce the size of the wp-content folder, further improving access time to this folder. This will also increase WordPress speed.
Many users think that they could make their websites visually appealing by uploading high-resolution images (100kb to 1MB in size). However, these images eat up a lot of time and bandwidth of your visitors.
In many instances, high-resolution images make WordPress websites sluggish. To deal with these images, I suggest that you convert the images to a lower resolution and smaller format (JPEG, BMP, GIF).
If you prefer a plugin to do the job for you, then WP Smush.it and ShortPixel Image Optimizer wins my recommendation as the best WordPress image optimization plugin to speed up WordPress website.
If you check the source code of your WordPress website, you will see some scripts that you could not identify. The best practice, to increase WordPress speed, in this scenario is to eliminate as many external HTTP requests as possible and host them on the server alongside your website.
External HTTP requests are sometimes slow to respond and in the worst cases, even timeout. That is because external requests are loaded from external servers that you do not control.
Using the latest version of PHP (at the moment PHP 7.x) will greatly improve the speed of your website. PHP 7 works wonderfully well with WordPress websites and delivers exceptional performance. Ask your hosting provider whether they have support for PHP 7. This is a must-have upgrade that performs well even on low-end servers.
To view the full list check out our article on WordPress caching plugins to speed up WordPress website.
Visitors come to your website from all over the world. The problem with this globally distributed traffic is that everybody will have different page load speed.
To ensure near-uniform loading time for all geographical locations, a CDN is the best choice. CDN makes a copy of your website onto servers that are distributed across the world. A website behind a CDN will be served from the nearest server to the visitor’s IP address.
I strongly recommend MaxCDN to improve your WordPress speed optimization.
Over time, the WordPress database will get filled with data that you may not require any more. WordPress databases store everything including entire blog posts, images, user data, settings, and comments.
I recommend that you clean up the WordPress database every three months. This will keep your database healthy and free of unwanted garbage that potentially slows down the website. For this, use WP-sweep, a plugin that does its job well without any complications.
There is a high chance that you might end up using a poorly coded WordPress theme that makes unnecessarily calls to the database, even in situations where a simple HTML code will do well.
This is why it is vital that you evaluate your theme, file by file and replace any unwanted PHP and database calls with simple HTML.
Another way of optimizing databases is to use a caching system that caches all the database requests. Memcached and Redis work wonders and help reduce the load on the database by caching the requests and reducing the time required to serve the most frequent requests.
MySQL is probably the most used database by WordPress users and hosting providers. However, several databases such as MariaDB, PostgreSQL are known to perform better than MySQL.
Ask your hosting provider whether they have MariaDB or PostgreSQL, and if they do have the support, I suggest you move your WordPress database to either of these DBMS for better WordPress site speed optimization.
Updates for the WordPress core are vital for the security of your website. In addition to the security, these updates are also essential for speeding up your website. The performance boost may be too small to be noticeable, but still, I highly recommend that you update the WordPress core as soon as an update is released.
Similar to the core. It is necessary to keep all the plugins updated at all times. The same logic that applies to the updates for the WordPress core, applies to plugins as well. Many WordPress site speed optimization issues arise from outdated plugins.
Just like outdated plugins, outdated themes are also the cause of WordPress site speed optimization issues. If you have purchased a premium theme or downloaded a well-maintained theme from the WordPress.org Theme Repository, chances are there will be occasional updates for these themes. The authors of the themes continuously fix bugs and improve the quality of the theme by minifying the theme code.
To update your WordPress website, just log in to the WordPress admin panel and under Dashboard >> Updates, you will see all the available updates for the WordPress Core, Plugins and Themes.
Some WordPress themes, by default, load entire blog posts on the homepage of the WordPress website.
To make your blog more readable and to reduce the loading time, I recommend reducing the number of blog posts that are displayed on the home page. To limit the number of blog posts, head over to Settings >> Reading in the WordPress Admin and define the number of blog posts you wish to display. I recommend using a number of less than 10.
Other than limiting blog posts, it is a good practice to use excerpts of blog posts on the front page. Most themes display excerpts on the front page, when you select Summary in Settings >> Reading, as shown in the above screenshot.
If your blog becomes popular, chances are that people will start commenting on your blog posts. Sometimes, the conversations span over hundreds of comments. Keeping all the comments on one page will seriously impact the loading time of your website.
The best practice to deal with thousands of comments is to paginate them and load groups of comments on demand. You can easily control this by navigation to Settings >> Discussion and select the Break Comments option as shown in the following image.
Just like paginating blog comments, it is a good practice to paginate long blog posts that contain more than a thousand words. Many websites use this technique to keep the loading time to a minimum. A side benefit is that content consumption becomes easy because of small servings. Ultimately, this will help you speed up WordPress website.
In most themes, you can use <!––nextpage––> in the post editor to paginate the text after the tag to the next page.
If this tag does not work, simply open single.php file in your prefered editor and add <?php wp_link_pages(); ?> in the WP Loop. I recommend checking out the WordPress Codex.
Loading all the images at once can put a lot of stress on the server and the browsers of the visitors.
The best method of reducing the load time and improve WordPress speed optimization of your WordPress website is to lazy load images. This concept loads up the images as the visitor is scrolling and viewing a part of the image.
You can easily implement this technique through a Lazy Load plugin.
Uploading large media files such as images, infographics, and videos to your WordPress website is generally not a good practice as it adversely increases the size of the uploads folder.
To keep the load off your server, it is better to host the videos and large images at a third party image storage solution provider and embed them in the WordPress posts and pages. This way the video and image rendering is handled by the external servers.
For example, to increase WordPress speed, host the videos on Youtube, Wistia or Vimeo and embed them into the WordPress website. The embedded resources load faster and also look nicer. This technique also ensures that you have a backup copy of all the visual content of your website at an external location and it helps speed up WordPress website.
By default, WordPress enables pingbacks and trackbacks. Through pingbacks, WordPress websites communicate among each other by sending notifications whenever one WordPress website links to another one.
Enabling pingbacks and trackbacks has drawbacks as each notification is a separate request. Thus, If your website receives a lot of trackbacks and pingbacks, it adds to the load time of the website.
By default, WordPress saves the drafts of blog posts and pages as post revisions. Every 60 seconds, a new revision is saved. Just imagine the load on your website in the case of multiple authors working on different blog posts. Each revision save request consumes server resources and increase the load time for the visitors.
You can simply disable or limit post revisions on WordPress by using WP Revisions Limit plugin to speed up WordPress website.
Hotlinking is the concept where one website uses the media (images, infographics etc.)of another website in its content. Some websites will embed images in their content by making a call to your media files.
Hotlinks will eat into your server resources and it is a good practice to disable hotlinking altogether. You can read a helpful guide from our friends at WPNinjas on how to disable hotlinking.
Expires header in your content defines for how long should the visitor’s’ browser retain your content in its cache. This is very helpful for returning visitors to your website because the browser does not have to reload resources on every visit.
The above code tells the visitor’s browser to cache images for a month. You can edit this duration by editing A2592000 (this means 1 month in the future (60*60*24*30=2592000)).
Similar to plugins, people do get carried away all sorts of eye candy, widgets, and buttons on WordPress websites. Adding too many widgets and social buttons will add a lot of requests on the frontend and each request means an additional call to the database. The end result of this many requests is a slow loading page. Therefore, It is best to keep the frontend of your theme lightweight and simple if you want to speed up WordPress website.
Accelerated Mobile Pages is the new hype in the SEO and web development industry. The AMP pages load in milliseconds on mobile devices and rank higher in Google SERP in searches originating from mobile devices.
If you want higher traffic from mobile users, it is absolutely necessary to configure AMP pages on WordPress. Read our helpful guide on how to configure AMP pages on WordPress websites.
27. Lastly, Use Faster Internet!
After you have implemented all the above 26 steps and your visitors are still complaining that your WordPress website is slow, it is time to ask the all-important question: Is my Internet Fast Enough?
However, the above steps cover all essential aspects of speeding up WordPress websites for your visitors. If you have further questions on how to go about configuring any of the above points, then do leave your questions in the comments section and I will point you in the right direction. | 2019-04-25T14:08:13Z | https://www.wpblog.com/speed-up-wordpress-websites/ |

Lee Overtree and the Story Pirates Podcast were critical to the creation of the Good Stuff Kids Podcast. I vividly remember my son and I listening to the Story Pirate’s podcast as we crossed the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco to Marin. We loved it from first listen. I was so happy to have a chance to talk to Lee about all aspects of the Story Pirates. It’s more than a podcast, it’s a program that goes into schools and teaches writing and creative fun. You will not believe how many Story Pirates there are working around the country! Lee finds the meaning behind the stories and honors the kid authors throughout this conversation.
There are two Story Pirates books as well as a brand new record called ‘Nothing Is Impossible’. What I loved the most about this conversation with Lee is how much he loves the stories that kids write and he values and honors the writers with such authenticity. | 2019-04-21T02:49:10Z | http://goodstuffpod.com/speaker/lee-overtree/ |
Where Can You Find Satellite Maps of Where You Live?
Satellite maps of where a person lives and nearly everywhere else on Earth are available for download from many online sources, including the USGS Earth Explorer, TerraServer and Google Maps. Image quality, content and formats vary greatly.
The widest variety of images are available at EarthExplorer.USGS.gov, which hosts everything from aerial imagery to digital elevation models and LiDAR. A private firm runs TerraServer.com. It provides satellite imagery from government and private sources that users can view for free online or download for a fee.
Perhaps the simplest way to view a satellite image of a home is to use Google Maps. Users can enter a city or address at Maps.Google.com to get an up-to-date map that the user can overlay with Google Earth satellite images. Images on Google maps are free to view but are not downloadable.

Are Pioneer Wallets Really 10 Times Stronger Than Steel?
07 Aug Are Pioneer Wallets Really 10 Times Stronger Than Steel?
You can find slim wallets made out of pretty much everything these days, from classic, tough full-grain leather to hardshell titanium sleeves. Pioneer wallets, however, seem a step ahead of the game, made from what the company calls 10XD Ripstop – an “ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene”, a “super-fabric” they claim is 10 times stronger than steel by weight.
Almost sounds like overkill for a wallet, but hey, some people go hard on their gear. We haven’t had the opportunity to actually test and verify whether their claims stack up – (how would one go about that, anyway?) – but it seems clear these things are built to last.
The wallet itself is ultra-slim and sleek, using a bifold-esque design that manages to be even more compact than a traditional wallet. The wallet can hold 6-8 cards and several folded bills in its two slots. The fabric used in entirely waterproof, and absorbs no moisture. 4 bartacks provide reinforcement, while a very low-profile, heat transfer logo gives it some style.
Pioneer currently serves up three models of these tough-as-nails wallets – the Ion, the Division and the Molecule. All three come in Black and Blue, and the wallet is backed by Pioneer’s 10-year warranty, which gives confidence that their wallets are built to last a lifetime. For the price, Pioneer wallets can’t be beat in size, slimness or durability. | 2019-04-20T11:00:39Z | https://gearforlife.com/pioneer-wallets-steel/ |
A native of San Francisco, Ron has been working as a photographer for over 35 years. He is also a fine artist and is constantly pulled in multiple directions. The artist in him wants to educate, motivate and touch the spirit of his audience, while the pure photographer wants to document, excite and historicize life as he sees it. His commercial clients appreciate the push-pull of the artist and how it affects their finished photography product. His art collectors are drawn to the mental, social and sometimes emotional challenge that is an original Ron Witherspoon photo-centered work of art.
Witherspoon grew up in a multicultural community in San Francisco. He caught the photo bug from a Kodak Instamatic camera at the age of 12. He began his career as a street photographer in the vision and spirit of Roy DeCarava, Robert Doisneau and Adger Cowans. He discovered these iconic photographers as he researched and explored photography and felt a kinship with the spirit of their works and aspires to their greatness. Ron has explored and mastered many facets of photography to include photojournalism, commercial, documentary, portrait, event, wedding and fine art photography. He likes to say that he will point his camera at anything, as long as it is not illegal or immoral.
As a freelance photographer Ron has traveled the Caribbean, Canada and South Africa on photography assignments. He works with a fantastic team of designers, technicians and creatively crazy people. He served his country as a United States Army Photojournalist and News Editor who traveled North Africa, South America and the United States creating images and writing stories about American service-members for six years. Ron lives between Atlanta and San Francisco, and travels throughout the United States creating imagery and a body of fine art for corporate, entrepreneurial, government and educational clients.
He believes in formal education and holds a Bachelor of Arts in Broadcast Communications from San Francisco State University, and a Masters in Fine Art (MFA) from Georgia State University School of Art & Design with a concentration in Photography and Digital Imaging.
Ron has spent the past 14 years post graduate school working as a commercial photographer creating marketing, public relations, advertising and editorial images. At the same time he has been developing a body of fine art and is working on a new series of images for a photography art show in late 2019 with the Atlanta-based art group, Nuance. | 2019-04-22T04:34:21Z | https://adamred.agency/team/ron-witherspoon/ |
I really don’t plan on the next chapter taking as long as this one. The wait between chapters 2 and 3 was inexcusable.
Dude its been… like 3 months.
Perfect page. I have a friend who’s got one just like this.
Chapter 3 is done. I’m currently working on Chapter 4.
Is there a new page or is there a new chapter coming? When will it be up?
My bad about that…..when is Chapter 4 going to be posted?
I’m not sure yet, still working on it.
Next chapter already have done?
I don’t, but you’re more than welcome to use the Discord server for that. If that’s not what you’re looking for, I could consider making a page for feedback and discussions.
When do u plan to publish next chapter?
When I’m done with it. I’m still working on it right now.
Hope everything’s going okay. I know life can get in the way. Keep up the good work.
When do you think you will finish the next chapter?
Almost 2019 now, no more?
I apologize. I’m really busy right now, but I’m still working on the next chapter whenever I get the chance.

Stadiums and prisons are some of the sites that are at risk of drones visiting them for illegal purposes. MyDefence Communication in Aalborg has developed a system that prevents this from occurring. The system is now being used with support from the EU.
Drones are an innovative tool that can be used to carry, for example, a camera that can take aerial photos. Drones are predicted to have a bright future when it comes to acting as carriers of other objects. However, drones can unfortunately also be used for illegitimate purposes. In Iraq, the Islamic State has been using drones carrying explosives on the battlefield, and in Denmark, we have already seen cases where it was attempted to smuggle in items for inmates in prison. Recently, PET has warned that, in principle, drones could be used to carry out simple terror attacks in Denmark as well.
The countermeasures that can counteract the illegal use of drones are therefore in high demand. It is such countermeasures that the Danish company, MyDefence Communication, has specialized in developing – and with such great success that the systems have been presented to NATO and will be paired with drone-solutions coming from Lockheed Martins.
Most recently, MyDefence has been granted support from the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme that aims to enhance research and innovation. The support has been given to the tests for the systems in 2 prisons and 2 stadiums in Denmark and England, respectively.
”We look forward to demonstrating our system on a larger scale. The technology is in place, but with the EU project, we will have the opportunity to optimize it and prepare it for the market,” says CEO in MyDefence Communication, Christian Steinø.
The product maturation for KNOX involves fine-tuning the system to find a specific drone signal at a stadium where there are thousands of other signals from, among others, mobile phones and radios. Subsequently, the specific drone signal – and no other signals – must be manipulated so that the drone flies away or is prevented from, for example, using a camera to transmit data.
”We consider the technology behind KNOX to be a game changer because we do not simply stop at intercepting signals, as the current solutions on the market do, but we are capable of jamming the drone signal and thereby blocking it,” says Christian Steinø.
The solution can be scaled up or down, depending on the size of the site. It is relatively inexpensive and is primarily intended for sites where large crowds of people gather or where critical infrastructure is placed – for example, a power plant.
More information about HORIZON 2020 and the project can be found here.
MyDefence was founded in 2009 with the vision of wanting to ”protect those that protect us.” MyDefence’s mission is to develop new technologies, focusing on reducing the size, weight and power consumption of carried and mobile products that are to be used against roadside bombs and drones. | 2019-04-22T15:01:50Z | https://lyncdiscoverinternal.mydefence.dk/2017/09/danish-company-develops-an-anti-drone-system-for-stadiums-and-prisons/ |

To create the Hawaiian Collection we took our classic, vintage denim, boxy fit short and repaired the holes with cut up vintage Hawaiian shirts. Some shorts have had their holes repaired with the shirts, while others have had their pockets patched with the shirts. The shirts range in age from the 1950's through the 1990's. They were all made in the USA, with most actually originating in the Hawaiian Islands. The colorful shirts feature a range of motifs including indigenous Hawaiian plants, such as the Hibiscus flower, to the classic Hula prints.

Sunset on Jumby Bay is one of those moments in life where you look around and really take in the world with a sense of wonder, whilst trying to capture how beautiful the setting is. Ok, so it sounds a little dramatic but it’s true… Each evening we would wander down to the water and take in our surroundings – the sun slowly lowering behind the hundreds of palm trees that line the shore, with the warm glow bathing the island in a magical light. Jumby Bay is just heavenly, and while we’d all dress up at night, the days were spent in swimwear. As a bit of a swimwear junkie, it was the perfect opportunity to showcase my rapidly expanding collection. For hot beach days I’m a bikini girl through and through, but as the sun starts to set I’m all about a gorgeous one piece, and this super cute candy striped style was one of my favourites of the trip, particularly when paired with my go-to sunglasses of the summer, layered gold necklaces, salty hair and sandy skin. | 2019-04-22T02:48:39Z | https://www.thestylememo.com/2016/09/sundown-on-jumby-bay.html |
Call it superstition but these beliefs are strong among Hindu communities and it cannot be changed overnight. There is a popular belief among certain Hindu communities that doing or buying certain things on Tuesday will usher in bad luck and it will cause problems in life and home.
Cosmetics are not to be brought on Tuesday. This is because Tuesday is governed by Mangal grah and this fiery planet does not like it.
Products made of thickened milk like rabdi or rabri, barfi, kalakand, chena etc should be brought or made in the home.
Those food items that are donated should not be eaten by the person donating them.
One should not buy black color dress on Tuesday and one should not wear black color dress.
Materials made using iron should not be brought on Tuesday.
Nail cutter, knife, scissors and sharp objects should not be brought on Mangalwar or Tuesday.
Steel should not be brought on the day.
Havan should not be performed on Tuesday and one should not buy Havan related materials.
These things are mostly followed in North India. Some of them are followed in eastern and western parts of India. The majority of the above-said beliefs are not followed in South India.
These things are not mentioned in Hindu scriptures but are based on regional beliefs and astrological influence. | 2019-04-19T22:55:50Z | https://www.hindu-blog.com/2019/01/do-not-buy-or-do-these-things-on-tuesday-hindu-beliefs.html |
On August 2nd, 2016 a 30-year-old Queens native named Karina Vetrano was found dead in Spring Creek Park after leaving for a jog earlier in the day. Vetrano was found lying face down approximately 15 feet away from the trail, covered in scratches and bruises. After her autopsy, strangulation was determined as the cause of death and authorities confirmed that it was a homicide. For nearly six months, the NYPD performed a national search to match the DNA found on the scene to a suspect.
On February 4th, 2017 police brought 20-year-old Chanel Lewis into questioning and later placed him under arrest and charged Lewis for second-degree murder. On the night of Vetrano's murder, Lewis who lived three miles away reportedly returned to his mother's home in disheveled clothing. He claimed that he'd been mugged by a group of men, however, there was no evidence of this attack and a police report wasn't filed. The day after Vetrano's murder, Lewis was taken into a local hospital and treated for a hand injury.
Karina Vetrano's murder trial began on November 5th, 2018, with Lewis pleading not guilty to murder or sexual abuse charges. Vetrano's father Phil, who was a ground zero first responder after the September 11th attacks, testified in court. On November 9th, jurors watched a video of Lewis confessing to the murder and on November 14th, forensic biologist Linda Razzano testified that Lewis' DNA had a "one in 6 trillion chance of someone else sharing a genetic profile." However, on November 21st the judge declared a mistrial and on March 12th, 2019 the retrial of the murder of Karina Vetrano began.
This week, Karina Vetrano's mother Cathie appeared at the Queens State Supreme Court to testify. In the previous trial, Cathie hadn't testified, however, this time she's taken to the stand to defend her daughter. During the trial, Cathie was spotted with a new tattoo which pays tribute to her daughter.
On March 18th, Cathie Vetrano testified in court and also showed off a black-and-grey portrait of her daughter Karina. The tattoo artist remains unknown, however, we'd argue that the work looks impressive based on the courtroom photos.
What do you think about the retrial of Karina Vetrano's murder? What do you think of her mom's new tattoo? Let us know your thoughts on this story in the comments section.

Flex datagrids and Excel part 2 | It is what it is, sometimes it helps.
I had several people contact me about this regarding extending functionality or how to get it into a file. At the time I was asked to implement the function the customer wanted it into the clipboard hence the copy/paste method I produced but I didn't think about how easy it would be to extend this to a downloadable file.
John Gag mentioned a method he uses which didn't quite work when I had date formatters. We currently generate many excel spreadsheets using HTML formatting to color code excel but I wanted a simpler version with no formatting/colors. Excel will automatically populate cells based on TAB delimited strings so I used my original method with a few changes and simply posted this back to Coldfusion ( or in this case Railo ) or PHP. ( I tested this in OSX with Excel, Windows with Excel and Ubuntu with Open Office and they all worked ).
And below is the CFML and PHP.
Now I'm sure this method could apply to asp, pl or any other server side language I just made it for the 2 I have available. The great thing about this method is that I can send any tab delimited data from a grid as a POST to my server without having to customize server side code in anyway.
Cool, I am going to have to check this out. Thanks!
I have tried to change your test application to accommodate an arraycollection instead of an RSS feed and I keep getting in the excel sheet that the headers a shifted one cell to the right. Enabling the clipboard functionality and pasting directly into excel does not have this problem.
Without seeing all the code I'm just not sure. I know I have a copy from arrayCollection mod myself and it is working fine. If you want to pastebin the code I can take a look.
The code looks fine. Perhaps its a server setting. In the Coldfusion / Railo admin there is "Suppress white space" try turn that on see if it helps.
"Removes all white spaces in the output that follow a white space"
I checked that and all was fine.
Reduces the file size of the pages that ColdFusion returns to the browser by removing many of the extra spaces, tabs, and carriage returns that ColdFusion might otherwise persist from the CFML source file."
Much thanks to Paul for helping me troubleshoot this problem and find the solution.
Another issue that I had was printing descriptions that were text areas and included tabs, new lines and carriage returns.
Thanks a lot and it helped me a lot.
Sorry about that as I was moving to CF9 I messed up some of the links. All those links and demos should now be restored.
I need your help. I'm VERY new to FLEX (About 3 days old) and my client wants exactly what you did, however when I view your source, download the zip, and import the folder to Flex 3 professional, I am then confused on what I need to do. Do you have step-by-step instructions for us newbies on actually getting your application to work with the server side to the point where we can actually see the results you are seeing?
Because I'm so confused with serverside/flex interactions, I don't know how to implement your toolset.
Either that or if you can point me to a REALLY easy to read step-by-step method on another authors functionality on something similar, I can run with that for now before using your technique.
@Piyush Are you using ColdFusion as the backend? Perhaps I can do a full walk through as a screencast?
Paul, the link provided for the source is broken. Can you please share the new link?
Anyone got this working with .NET yet? | 2019-04-25T04:25:13Z | http://blog.kukiel.net/2009/01/flex-datagrids-and-excel-part-2.html |

This incident is not unique in itself. Someone I know, an inspiring woman who is into technology innovation, shared that she had been mistaken to be a seller of mobile phones. Another, a friend I look up to who is in the advertising industry, had once been falsely thought to be managing a printing press.
Four years into the business of writing and editing, I am happy to observe that my pitch and the conversations that follow are getting better.

Science fiction writer David Brin calls it "a tsunami of lights" — a future where tiny cameras are everywhere, lighting up everything we do, and even predicting what we'll do next.
Unlike George Orwell's novel "1984," where only Big Brother controlled the cameras, in 2015, cheap, mobile technology has turned everyone into a watcher.
A snowboarder with a GoPro can post a YouTube video of a friend's 540-degree McTwist in the halfpipe. But also — as happened recently — a Penn State fraternity can upload Facebook photos of partially naked, sleeping college women.
A San Jose homeowner cowers behind a locked door while she watches an intruder stroll through her home on a surveillance video. A man launches a drone to spy on his neighbor tanning by her pool. Pet owners monitor their dogs.
With each technological advance, more of our lives — from the humdrum to the hyper-dramatic — is being caught on camera.
That includes the police, whose actions can be recorded by anyone with a camera phone. In South Carolina, a cellphone video released last week showed a police officer firing eight shots at a fleeing man's back. In San Bernardino County, news choppers captured footage of deputies punching and kicking a man as he lay face-down on the ground with his hands behind his back.
"Painting a picture that cameras are everywhere and anywhere is pretty provocative," said Ryan Martin, a technology analyst at 451 Research, but it can also present opportunities to increase accountability and improve safety.
There are 245 million surveillance cameras installed worldwide, according to research firm IHS, and the number increases by 15% a year.
Surveillance technologies are evolving in fascinating ways. Google researchers are developing a camera small enough to fit on a contact lens.
That may be years off, but other cutting-edge ideas are hitting the market now.
ParaShoot is selling a $199 HD camera that's light enough to wear on a necklace or stick to a wall or car dashboard. "Never miss the meaningful moments again," the company touts.
Another company, Bounce Imaging, is manufacturing a throwable camera shaped like a ball, with police departments as the target customer. The omni-directional cameras can literally take pictures on the fly and instantly transmit pictures to a smartphone.
"You can throw a security camera into it and as it flies through the air it's taking pictures," said Bounce chief executive Francisco Aguilar. It's like "a bunch of security cameras facing all directions in the room."
It's the size of a softball, but the company is working on shrinking it to golf-ball dimensions. The ball can also be mounted inconspicuously atop a pole for 360-degree surveillance.
A company called Axiom is making body cameras for police. In the near future, says general manager Marcus Womack,videos could be instantly uploaded to the Internet over Wi-Fi or cellular networks for live streaming.
The camera is the easy part, he said. "It's dependent on mobile networks being able to support the streaming media."
As surveillance spreads, huge volumes of video data are growing beyond the ability of humans to sift through it all. Technologists are turning to artificial intelligence to take over the grunt work.
"We have systems that are capable of doing a lot of thinking based on images," said Manuela Veloso, computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University. Programs could comb through vast databases at lightning speed, or even work in real time using algorithms that are "on the lookout for specific events … a person falling, people running."
Programs can already track balls, pick out landmarks and recognize when two machines collide, Veloso said. The next steps are training computers to recognize more specific anomalies.
The U.S. Department of Defense is developing video-monitoring technology called Mind's Eye to predict crime before it happens, not unlike the 2002 movie "Minority Report," starring Tom Cruise.
China is using face-recognition technology to identify dissidents as part of its Gold Shield Internet monitoring and censorship program.
It's not just governments that are collecting rich stores of data. Facebook uses face-recognition technology to identify users' friends in photos.
"Evolutionarily, we're primed for it," said Kevin Kelly, author of the book "What Technology Wants." "For most of human history, we've been covering each other. It's only in recent history we've developed a heightened sense of privacy."
But, he adds, social norms guided behavior in the less-private past. Norms for the cameras-everywhere era haven't been developed — nor are there well-thought-out legal structures that would keep inevitable abuse in check.
"It has to be symmetrical," Kelly said. "In the sense that when someone is watching you, you have to be able to watch them too. Who is watching? Who is being held accountable?"
Brin, the sci-fi author, shares Kelly's concerns. In 1989, the police in his prescient novel "Earth" were required to wear cameras, while citizens wore cameras on their shoulders, to keep each other honest. His 1993 nonfiction book, "The Transparent Society," presaged the tensions of a cameras-everywhere culture.
He offers the same advice now as he did then: Individuals under surveillance need to know what the government is collecting and why; they need to be able to watch back. "We should be focusing on systems of super-accountability," he said. "What they see doesn't matter. It's what they can do to us because there's no way to verify what they know and don't know."
One example: recent court decisions upholding the right of people to record their encounters with law enforcement.
People like Kelly and Brin have no fundamental problem with any of it, partly because people need protection against bad guys, partly because they know the technology is impossible to stop.
But people are so enthralled by what Brin calls "weapons of mass distraction" — their devices, their social networks, their cool apps, their video delights — that they won't do their part to maintain information symmetry.
For those who are creeped out by a cameras-everywhere society, Brin noted that Gutenberg's movable type and Galileo's telescopes provoked great anxiety in their time.
"Every generation," he said, "has been challenged by augmentations of vision, memory and power." | 2019-04-22T15:02:53Z | https://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-0411-cameras-everywhere-20150412-story.html |

In this article I'm trying to explain how to view sub directories based on root directory. In my previous articles I'm trying to explain how to view the files in a directory and how to copy files from one directory to another etc.. but now I'm trying to explain how to view sub directories available under root directory. This article will help you especially for fresher's and those who are new to this concept.
Create a project and then right click on solution explorer then choose Add-> New Item then choose Webforms and give a name for that as "ViewSubDir.aspx" and then click on Ok button.
Once page created successfully then design the page based on our requirement. What we want exactly, we need to display all the subdirectories entered by user. For entering root directory purpose we simply drag and drop 1 textbox control after that we need to perform one action for that simply drag and drop one button control and we want to show all the subdirectories into one control like (ListBox, Dropdown, DataControls …). In my application I just consider one ListBox control.
After design the page design view looks becomes like below.
Onclick event of button wrote below lines of code.

Do you have a plan for generating income for your business in future months or years? Are you trading time for money in the work you do for clients?
One of the topics I talk about a lot with business owners who want to design their ultimate lifestyle is the importance of having passive income streams. If your business model is reliant on you working each day in return for payment, you are drastically limiting your income potential as at some stage you will hit a ceiling in available time.
Most of us start off in business this way but if you have a dream of achieving financial freedom, you will need to begin reducing the number of hours you work whilst at the same time increasing your income too.
This is income generated 24 hours a day. When you are asleep or taking a holiday with your loved ones, your passive income streams continue to bring income into your business… sales you make repeatedly that require little effort on your part.
How can I generate passive income in my business?
Think about the knowledge sharing you do in your business now that you repeat over and over. Are you spending lots of time delivering training to clients that you could record into a CD, DVD or an online training program?
Are you writing the same reports over and over that could be written once and sold as an eBook? Are you running webinars that can be recorded and bundled in to a paid for video series?
Well, your customers all learn from you in different ways; some prefer to read copy, others are more visual or auditory and learn from hearing or watching the lessons you have to share.
So, from several webinars that you have delivered and recorded, you now have the potential to create five products that you can sell or bundle as added value! Can you see the difference that could make to your lifestyle?
If you are working towards your ultimate lifestyle, begin to consider the potential for products from everything you do. Ask yourself if this work is something you could make any future use of and take the steps to make sure you do what is necessary to realise the potential.
For example; a webinar will never form part of any product if you don’t record the live session…!
So today I invite you to spend some time thinking about how you could adapt your working style to create your own passive income streams. Do you already have content that could be converted to immediately begin generating income? What will you need to do differently in the future to create paid products?
One final point on this… it is important that what you create is a solution to the problems your clients are facing otherwise they won’t buy. If you’re not yet sure of the solutions they need, a great place to start is by surveying your current clients and asking them.
Are you feeling inspired to create your first product? Do you already have passive income streams in your business? Please leave me a comment and share what you’re doing to design your ultimate lifestyle.
Its so great to hear the results you’ve been getting. You are so right- it all starts with a decision.
Technology is certainly making life cheaper and easier in business these days, isn’t it Lianne? | 2019-04-25T18:48:15Z | https://joannamartin.com/design-your-ultimate-lifestyle-creating-passive-income-streams/ |
Join us for the thrill of paddling under the Confederation Bridge from Prince Edward Island to New Brunswick. To be able to paddle along the massive pillars of the Confederation Bridge that rise up from the ocean 40 to 60 meters into the sky is a special experience.

If you've been listening to the Big Idea Podcast for the last few months then you'll have heard me raving about today's guest for quite some time. Neville Wright is the founder of Kiddicare.com, a nursery retailer that Neville started with his wife Marilyn in 1974. But don't be fooled into thinking this is your usual "and then I made £100 million" story - we go deep into the early years of Neville's journey, focusing on how he took 37p and borrowed his Dad's ladder to go from "a beggar to chairman of the board" in over afternoon. Neville isn't a superhuman. He hasn't done anything that you or I couldn't do ourselves given a decent work ethic, some business acumen and 40 years ahead of us. If you're looking for the blueprint for almost guaranteed success, this is it. There's no gimmicks, no "gaming of the system", no hustling or cheating his way to win. Neville got to the very top of his industry by always looking for a win/win solution at every opportunity, and by really looking after his customers and his staff. We talk a lot about Neville's book "The Answer is Yes, now what is the question?", which I honestly believe is the best autobiography I've read in several years - it's inspirational, without the level of disconnect that the average man usually feels. If you want to succeed in business or marketing, then the answers you seek are in here - you just need to know "what is the question?" For links to everything we talk about, including the video recording of the episode and transcription of everything we talked about, head over to the show notes at bigidea.co.uk/podcast. And to watch the LIVE recording of each episode of the Big Idea Podcast, join our Facebook Group for FREE - you can then watch our ugly mugs in glorious technicolour every month, as well as get BONUS in-between-isodes, and direct access to both of us to ask any questions about this, or any other episode.

Where does an 800-pound gorilla twist balloons?
Many balloon twisters will tell you the answer is anywhere they want, but I put a little thought into this question and have come up with the true answer. An 800-pound gorilla can only twist balloons where the zoo keeper allows it to go. The zoo keeper is controlled by the zoo management and the trustees. Their actions are founded on what the public dictates, so the answer is to the question is… you the public, tells an 800-pound gorilla where to twist.
I would like to thank all the people who have hired me to twist balloons at their parties these past 24 years and for allowing me the opportunity to entertain your family and friends.

Newspaper copyright infringement lawsuit filer Righthaven LLC of Las Vegas was hit Wednesday with an order to pay $119,488 in attorney's fees and costs in its failed lawsuit against former federal prosecutor Thomas DiBiase.
This was by far the largest fee award against Righthaven, but likely will be dwarfed by an upcoming award in Righthaven's failed suit against the Democratic Underground. Before Wednesday the largest fee award against Righthaven was for $34,045 — an amount Righthaven says it's having trouble paying or even posting a bond to cover. | 2019-04-20T22:08:32Z | https://www.righthavenvictims.com/2011/10/righthaven-ordered-to-pony-up-119488-in.html |
We had the pleasure of seeing our friend/artist, Hillary Butler this morning. She’s awesome and so creative. I work with her husband who is our art teacher and the creativity must just ooze out of their house. I told JD I wished I was creative like that and he was so encouraging to remind me that I am creative all the time – with smocking, sewing, stationery…just not painting. Thank you for the affirmation, JD. I love you.
Hillary is partnering with the Memphis Botanic Garden for an event this spring in the Big Backyard. It will be an Alla Prima party for kids. She used Garner’s room for her “set” and below you see the fun painting the kids will get to do. I’ll post more info once the details are in order. One of the cool things about this is that it’s earth-friendly and painted on recycled newsprint! You’re doing your part Hill!
Isn’t that so sweet?! I love seeing it in different frames – really changes the feel of the piece. Visit her at www.paintallaprima.com to see some of her “grown-up” paintings and even me! My friend Donna and I did a party with Hill in December. We painted Tres Trees and it now sits in my wonderful office. I love the color palette she uses. Right up my alley. She’s given and hint of peonies for the spring. I’ll be the first to sign up!
– 3 closets have been cleaned out. 6 to go. Having a lot of storage space means having more space for junk to collect.
– I’ll be going through all of Garner’s clothes and baby things over the next 2 weeks for donating, selling and giving. Our church consignment sale is the end of March and I plan to sell quite a bit.
– We have money earmarked to pay off on credit card by the end of Feb, repair the fence, and purchase new landscaping for the front of the house. YAY!
– we have sold two big pieces of furniture on craigslist and are collecting things for our spring garage sale. purge purge purge!
– we celebrated 6 years by going to a movie with Garner. It was fun and we ate lots of junk food. 🙂 I’d call that special.
Many more things to do on the list. I’ll clean out a closet today and find a recipe to cook something I’ve never tried before this week.
It will be in the 60s this week in Memphis – a far cry from our overnight 20s this past week. Ahhh – Spring? Are you coming? | 2019-04-24T00:35:47Z | https://ispybeauty.wordpress.com/2011/02/12/creativity/ |

Robyn was recently staying at Room at the Inn when she developed an aggressive respiratory ailment. A woman there told her, “You need to rest,” and suggested she spend some time at Haywood Street Respite.
It’s still early and I’ve just joined Robyn and the others for Respite’s morning devotional group. Robyn has agreed to tell me a story. I tell her it can be as simple as how her grandmother made angel food cake, but she goes straight to the beginning—her childhood in the Middle East. She tells her story quick. There is an urgency to get through the rough parts and straight to the good stuff. And the good stuff is simple. It is the friendships she is making at The Mission. It’s how she’s helping a girlfriend kick the bottle. The good stuff is maintaining her own sobriety and getting her sense of humor back. It’s her love of murder mysteries and strong plots twists.
Robyn begins her story with a memory of her parents singing her lullabies. She leads me through a wild adventure which includes becoming the queen of karaoke. The chapters of Robyn’s life seem to have an interesting relationship with music, and the times when it is absent. The fact that her name denotes a beautiful songbird is not lost on me. She closes her story with a memory of sharing lullabies with her daughter and this memory feels like it holds her whole world in it.
The American Robin makes its appearance at the end of winter. It is the beginning of March so my friend is right on time. The bird’s song is often described as, cheer up, cheerily cheer up. Robyn tells me Respite has been, “Good for the soul” and I can see it. I can see her cheering up. I can see her healing up. I can see her preparing for the hopefulness of spring.
Robyn, we are so happy you came to rest with us. | 2019-04-23T19:51:26Z | http://haywoodstreet.org/robyn/ |

Proportional circles maps are increasingly being used by exam boards in GCSE Geography exams. What better way to help students understand what they are and how they work than creating one for themselves in Google Sheets.
Following on from my recent post on Creating an interactive choropleth map in Google Sheets it is also very easy to create a proportional circle map in Google Sheets. I’ve put together this guide to help you through the process.
You first need to open a Google Sheet and enter a list of countries you want to include in your map. Use our Google Sheet containing a list of countries and paste it into your sheet to save time.
Next, enter the data you want to present on your choropleth map. In the example below I’ve added some mock data for demonstration purposes only.
A graph will be inserted. Don’t worry, it always does this. Next, scroll down the Chart Editor and select the geo chart with markers (proportional circles map).
The proportional map will now be displayed. In this example, data is only presented for selective countries as I have only input a small amount of data.
You can customise the map by pressing the Customize tab in the right-hand pane. You can change the region to continents and the colour scheme.
If you hover your cursor over a country it will display its name and value. | 2019-04-23T07:09:23Z | https://www.internetgeography.net/create-a-proportional-circles-map-in-google-sheets/ |

Your body evolved to eat sweet foods. In fact, it’s how our ancestors knew a food growing in the wild was safe to eat and healthy.
But your body did not evolve to eat starchy, high carbohydrate sugars from bread, pasta, cereal and other grains. Ever since we were told to eat low fat, this has been the bulk of the our diet.
The result has been a modern epidemic of obesity and diabetes. At the same time, we face skyrocketing rates of dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Big Pharma has been trying for decades to come up with a pill to cure Alzheimer’s. But there is none.
And sadly, a miracle treatment is right under the nose of the medical industry. But they refuse to see it.
Research shows a strong link between blood sugar disorders and every stage of dementia. I’m talking about everything from memory loss to mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer’s.
Ketones can be used by most cells of the brain to make energy. When insulin resistance blocks glucose from brain cells, this energy source for the brain can help restore function. Your body makes ketones when you eat a diet high in fat and very low in carbs. Your body enters a state called “ketosis.” Because your body doesn’t have carbs to burn for energy, you burn ketones instead.
And ketones burn clean. They make fewer waste products, keeping the stress off the damaged brain cells. Studies now show a ketogenic diet can slow and even reverse symptoms throughout all dementia stages.
Don’t confuse ketosis with diabetic ketoacidosis. That’s a dangerous condition that affects people with type 1 diabetes. The amount of ketones you make in ketosis is nowhere near the level of ketoacidosis.
The most important thing is to limit carbs to 5% or 10% of total calories. The rest of your calories should come from healthy proteins and fats. A low-carb diet is safe. Removing glucose from carbs causes you to burn fat for energy instead.
At first, you may notice fatigue, brain fog, weakness, low libido or bad breath. That should clear up in a week or two. Soon your energy and mental sharpness will sky rocket. When it comes to fats, avoid trans fats and vegetable oils like corn, sunflower, safflower and canola. Instead, choose fats like olive oil, coconut oil, avocado, butter, ghee and heavy cream.
I also recommend MCT oil. Your liver converts it directly to ketone bodies. Use it to make mayonnaise and salad dressings, or add it to smoothies. Grass-fed beef, organ meats, fish and eggs are your best sources of protein.
Mainstream doctors still warn that red meat is inflammatory. But that’s only true of meat from feedlot cattle, which are fed grains like soy, beans, and corn. These crops are an unnatural diet for cattle and they’re all high in inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids, but low in anti-inflammatory omega-3s.
Grass-fed red meat is a different story. It’s the highest quality protein you can get and it’s loaded with omega 3s and key vitamins. Also be sure to eat pastured chicken and wild-caught fish.
The easiest way to stop eating carbs is to avoid all processed foods. Choose non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens. I also recommend that you stick mostly to low-sugar fruits like berries and melon.
Here’s one of my favorite ketogenic recipes. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Sauté the onion until soft.
Mix the ground meat with all other ingredients except bacon and heavy cream.
Form into a loaf and wrap the bacon around it. Place in a baking dish.
Bake for about 45 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil if the bacon begins to overcook.
Add the juices from the pan with the cream.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Serve over meatloaf.

Went to Adtech Sydney this afternoon. Nothing much to report. Almost went to Sexpo by mistake. Might have been more fun. Anyhow, went to a session called: A Mobile Destination: Vital For The Success Of Your Mobile Campaign.
Users require mobile pages to load within 5 seconds. The drop off rate after this time is staggering so make sure you have a speedy page load.
Navigation should be super easy and thumb friendly.

Dean and Alice Fjelstul began supporting Florida Gulf Coast University a decade ago with a First Generation Scholarship. Then they attended the President's Scholarship Luncheon and met their scholarship recipients.
"I was so impressed with our students that I wrote another check as we left the luncheon," Dean Fjestul says. "I was fortunate to come from a family where we never thought 'Should I go to college?' We just knew we would and we did. These students didn't have that advantage, but through hard work and persistence, they, too, made it to college."
The Bonita Springs couple have remained enthusiastic donors, recently establishing two charitable gift annuities through which they receive a fixed income for life as well as tax savings and which will fund life-changing educational opportunities for students for years to come.
"I am a third-generation college student," says Alice Fjelstul. "I realize how important an education is to a person. You cannot succeed without it."
Adds her husband, "The students we now support are talented, but they needed help to get to college. We all need to help others like them get there. It is critical, not just for these individuals, but for our society as a whole." | 2019-04-25T18:19:48Z | http://fgculegacy.com/?pageID=3&storyNum=7 |
From the Toledo District, in southern Belize comes exceptional cacao. Maya Mountain Cacao is a small co-op that has been working with local Mayan farmers to improve not only the quality of the cacao they farm but also their quality of life. They are succeeding on both levels and this award-winning bar is proof of that, wonderfully nuanced, full of floral and dried fruit notes. We hope you will appreciate the hard work and care that goes into this bar." | 2019-04-23T18:50:09Z | https://cocoastore.com/collections/dick-and-taylor/products/dick-and-taylor-70-guatemala-lanquin |
Well it has been a hectic few weeks. Things seem to be sluggishly moving forward, but at least they are moving forward!
I have been volunteering for a couple of weeks, time has flown by! My volunteering; carrying out research for a project the organisation are hoping to run, and also I have been out and about looking at open spaces in the city. Yes, open spaces in Madrid, the city does have them, they are just quickly occupied with people, bars, and so on!!!
The work has been good and given me a focus, plus, there are possibilities of doing more volunteering – which is what I want eventually. I have also enjoyed being valued! It is weird, but I haven’t felt for ages that my input and contribution have been actually valued (in a work setting)! Now I feel I am being valued again!!!! I feel although what I am currently doing is only a small contribution, this contribution is something worthwhile. It feels good!
The project I am volunteering for is about bringing the homeless community, and other organisations in the city who can offer help and support, together as one. At this current moment vagrancy or homelessness goes against the grain of acceptability. The state of being without a home is completely unconducive with the Spanish Governments ideas on how things should be. They have adopted the stance that a person chooses to be homeless. Some officials here are speaking out in disgust, they have said that this attitude, and these policies hark back to the dictatorship of Franco. I can see why.
So, I am continuing to explore what is what with the volunteering, BUT, I have also joined some ‘meet up’ groups.
This ‘social’ meet up group was friendly and formal all at the same time. It was more tailored around getting to know people, and possibly networking and so on. I thought the organiser of this group to be a genuine and friendly individual, and everyone else in attendance seemed so nice too. So enchanted am I by these newly found ‘meet up social thingy-me-bobs’ I have signed up for two more ‘Coffee and Tea’ meetings, which I am looking forward to!!!
All of this social change is bringing me feelings of happiness and direction. I am quite excited to see where it all leads me!! Although I am a little nervous, I am actually more looking forward to the events rather than apprehensive. I am curious and want to network with people, I feel I have to do this, the time is right for me, and the opportunity is wonderful!!
So, to continue the exploration I have decided to join a further two ‘meet up social thingy-me-bobs’ – there is just no stopping me, I feel so dynamic at the moment I believe I can achieve anything! These two new groups are more what I have been hoping to find. They represent THE thing I enjoy MOST, therefore, these groups are what I am MOST nervous about! One group is purely a discussion group, and the other is a writers group. So, fingers crossed these groups will prove as interesting and useful as the ‘Coffee and Tea’ version, and fingers crossed I will get along fine!!!
I have also been talking with friends about delivering informal English classes, and they are keen to be my guinea pigs, I mean students! In fact, they are so keen they have been recruiting their own acquaintances to take my classes! I don’t know whether this will pan out, as there is so much uncertainty around it, but there is a slim chance it might, and I then will be actually ‘teaching’ for some much required cash!
So, all in all things have just taken off – plus the decision to create another blog and also looking at possible YouTube videos too.
Here is hoping things continue to move in a good, positive and happy direction – I need it!! | 2019-04-26T02:48:24Z | https://thesavvysenorita.wordpress.com/tag/place/ |

What to expect during your pest treatment.
Borers are insects which can negatively affect timber. The larval (grub) stage tunnels through the timber causing damage. The first sign of a borer infestation is small pin holes in the timber, as this is the hole where the adult borer has emerged from the wood.The adult will only live for a short period of time, mating and the female will inject her eggs into the pores of the timber.
Once the female lays her eggs in the pores of the timbers, larvae feed upon starch and other nutrients in the sapwood. Some timbers where the sapwood has insufficient starch, or its pores are too narrow for the female’s ovipositor, should be immune to attack. However, conducive conditions such as high moisture and poor ventilation can open the pores of the timber and allow borer attack.
Borers are known to attack old furniture and structural timbers such as flooring, bearers and joists and roofing timbers.
Produce a very fine powdery dust, similar in consistency to talcum powder.
Attack the sapwood of certain hardwood timbers.
Cause serious structural weakening in timber that has a high sapwood content.
Attack furniture, structural timbers, flooring and decorative wood work.
Prefer old, well-seasoned timber, especially softwoods such as Baltic pine or New Zealand white pine.
Attack some hardwoods, especially blackwood and imported English oak.
Our Borer treatment is applied to all accessible timber surfaces throughout the roof void and/or subfloor areas using a timber-saver Boric acid treatment. This treatment will kill the adult beetles as they emerge from the timber before they have an opportunity to mate and reinfest. Due to the lifecycle of Borers, it is strongly recommended to have the initial treatment and two further treatments at 12 month intervals to cover the full lifecycle period.
Call us today on 03 9222 2266 and speak with one of our customer service team members to answer any questions and arrange the treatment.

In the other articles in this section we have provided a decisive demonstration that Preterism is an unbiblical view of eschatology. However, before Preterists can even begin to argue with the points we have addressed in those articles, there is one very large obstacle they must first overcome. That obstacle is the date when Book of Revelation was written or more appropriately when the vision was seen by John.
The Book of Revelation has been traditionally dated by scholars to have been written in or about 96 AD. Obviously this date would completely prevent anyone from accepting the Preterist theory that the events described in Revelation took place some 25 years earlier in 70 AD. Preterist scholars quickly recognize that dating the book in 96 AD utterly destroys their theory, therefore, they must challenge this dating. And so they have.
So where do we get this date? From Irenaeus' work, Against Heresies, Book 5, Chp. 30, written in the mid to late 100's AD. Let's take a look at the quote.
This is the main source traditional scholars use to a date when John was given the Revelation. Until the development of Preterist doctrines, its reliability has stood the test of time. Scholars, and indeed, Preterists themselves, can find no basis for suggesting that Irenaeus is mistaken with regard to history here. The specific part of this quote that is used to date the Book of Revelation is as follows.
"for if it were necessary that his name should be distinctly revealed in this present time, it would have been announced by him who beheld the apocalyptic vision. For that was seen no very long time since, but almost in our day, towards the end of Domitian's reign."
Most scholars interpret the pronoun "that" in the phrase "that was seen" to be "the apocalyptic vision." This seems to make sense and to flow naturally allowing the pronoun "that" to stand in for the nearest previous noun "vision." This assumes the least confusing grammar for the statement. Given that Domitian reigned from 81-96 AD, if John wrote near the end of his reign, that would place the writing of Revelation somewhere in the 90's.
Irenaeus states clearly "For that was seen no very long time since, but almost in our day, towards the end of Domitian's reign." The key question, therefore, is what Irenaeus' was referring to by the phrase "that was seen." What was seen towards the end of Domitian's reign (which would be sometime near 96 AD or so)? Was he referring to "him who beheld the apocalyptic vision" (John) or was it "the apocalyptic vision" itself?
Traditionally, this short phrase has been taken to indicate "the apocalyptic vision" itself. This seems particularly logical because Irenaeus is referring to something, which was "seen." His use of "seen" reflects the apocalyptic vision that he had just previously said was "beheld" by John. This interpretation seems to provide the most intuitive and simple understanding of the syntax, and this is exactly the way in which Irenaeus' words have been traditionally been interpreted.
Preterists attempt to get around this interpretation by asserting that it was John, not John's vision, that was seen towards the end of Domitian's reign. In doing so they allow for a more confusing grammatical structure of this passage in which "that" refers not to the immediately preceding noun "vision," (which would be the most natural reading of the text), but instead they insist "that" refers to the next closest preceding noun, "John."
This is a solid example of circular reasoning. One wonders how Preterists would read this statement if the phrase Domition's reign were replaced with Nero's reign. The point of this exercise is to demonstrate a very simple truth. One wonders what it is that the Preterists find so compelling to cause them to disagree with scholars traditional dating?
On this point we cannot ignore the fact that the entire Preterist doctrine hangs in the balance on this one simple question. With that in mind, there is little doubt that what Preterists find so compelling to cause them to disagree with the traditional date is the fact that their theory cannot survive so long as the traditional date stands.
It is not that Preterists read this short excerpt from Irenaeus and believe that the traditional interpretation is impossible or even implausible. Rather, what the Preterists have done is to go into this text and find a loophole, a loophole without which their entire theory could not survive.
And the solution to their problem was easy enough to find, simply change the pronoun "that" from a reference to the vision and make it instead a reference to John himself. In this sense, we can see that Preterists are not primarily concerned with how Irenaeus SHOULD be read but instead with how Irenaeus CAN be read. The reason they are focused on the versatility of the meaning of "that" is simply because it is the only available loophole to keep Preterism alive in the face of the Traditional model.
On this point, Preterists' do not have the luxury of being nonbiased. They simply have to find a way to avert the traditional dating. So, there interpretation of Irenaeus here has nothing to do with an objective, accurate judgment of what the author probably meant. Instead, it has everything to do with finding a way around the traditional dating of Revelation.
This interpretation, however, deprives us of any information as to when "the apocalyptic vision" was "beheld." We would have no idea whether it was written in the 60's, 70's, 80's, or 90's AD. Under the Preterist theory there would be no way to know.
Logically speaking, it is not necessary that Preterism provide us with a way to firmly date Revelation. Their failure to provide firm evidence for a date in itself does not invalidate their theory or their interpretation of Irenaeus. It does however bring to light their bias.
In other words, if we interpret Irenaeus as the Preterists want we are left without any certain date for the writing of Revelation. That means, it could have been written at any point prior to John's death. If it was not written in the 90's, it could have been written in the 70's or 80's. Yet the Preterists argue that it was written in the 60's. And why? Since apart from Irenaeus there is no direct source for dating Revelation, we have no other choice but to assume the only evidence Preterists have for an early dating of the book is their own theory that it was fulfilled in 70 AD. Any date after 70 AD would negate their entire theory.
Let's take a look at it one last time in the simplest format.
Hypothesis: The prophecies in the book of Revelation were fulfilled in 70 AD.
Test the Hypothesis Using Existing Evidence: Scholar's traditional date for the writing of Revelation is around 96 AD.
Preterist Conclusion: Tradition scholars are wrong because the hypothesis is true.
Or in other words, Preterists throw out the existing evidence simply because it disagrees with their hypothesis. Then they reconfigure the evidence to fit with their pre-existing conclusions. The Preterists are clearly molding the evidence to arrive at their desired conclusion. This is faulty logic and their assessment should be rejected as biased.
There could be no clearer case of bias and no clearer case of circular reasoning. The Preterists early dating of Revelation is driven entirely by the assumption that Preterism is true. According to their line of thinking, since Preterism is true and Jesus came back in 70 AD, Revelation could not have been written after 70 AD. Therefore, traditional scholars are wrong and Irenaeus could not have meant that the vision was seen in the end of Domitian's reign. As we can see, Preterists start their analysis of Revelation's date by assuming that Preterism is true. Here they have a clear conflict of interest and their exegesis is operating in reverse.
Preterists' convenient re-interpretation of Irenaeus' statement betrays their bias in the matter. Furthermore their insistence and confidence in this unwarranted supposition is highly suspicious, nonobjective, and quite unscholarly to say the least.
But, for the sake of argument, let's assume for a moment that the Preterist interpretation of Irenaeus' statement is correct. Let's assume that it is "John" and not "the apocalyptic vision" that was seen near the end of Domitian's reign. Is the scenario that they are depicting a reasonable one? Not at all. Let's take a look at the logical outcome of their interpretation. A Preterist view unequivocally upholds the following.
1. John was a witness and disciple of Jesus during Jesus' life on earth.
2. John understood that Jesus would return in his lifetime from what Jesus taught him regarding his return. This information he effectively taught to the Church of his day.
3. God used John to record and instruct the church with regard to the teachings of Jesus' through his own ministry and through the writing of one Gospel, and three epistles.
4. God revealed to John a vision of Christ's return in the 60's AD.
5. John witnessed and lived through the fulfillment of Jesus' revelation, prophecy and teaching regarding his return when these events occurred in 70 AD.
6. John lived for another 25 years or so after his "apocalyptic vision" was fulfilled and Jesus returned in 70 AD.
7. During these 25 years after Jesus return, John (the writer of one Gospel, three epistles, and recorder of "the apocalyptic vision" describing Jesus' return), did not manage to successfully communicate the fact that his "apocalyptic vision" had been fulfilled 25 years earlier in 70 AD.
8. (By extension) Either God chose not to use John to inform the Church that Jesus' second coming and the apocalyptic vision were fulfilled in 70 AD, or God did chose to use John in this way but for one reason or another John did not accomplish that mission.
Based on the above Preterist scenario and the fact that all orthodox church writers and scholars for at least two centuries after 70 AD upheld a Futurist view of eschatology, one of the four highly unreasonable conclusions must be drawn regarding John, the church, and Jesus' return in 70 AD.
1. John DID NOT understand that his "apocalyptic vision" had been fulfilled in 70 AD and so did not teach this to the church.
2. John DID understand that his "apocalyptic vision" had been fulfilled in 70 AD yet chose not to teach this to the church.
3. John DID understand that his "apocalyptic vision" had been fulfilled in 70 AD and attempted to teach this to the church, but was completely ineffective and wholly failed in this task.
4. John did understand that his "apocalyptic vision" had been fulfilled in 70 AD and effectively taught this to the church only to have his teaching on the matter universally rejected by the church.
One last item to remember on this point: we have no record of either John or any other member of the early Church writing to instruct the Church that the events prophesied in the New Testament surrounding the return of Christ ever came to pass in 70 AD. If those events did come to pass, then the Church was left with no instruction regarding that fact.
In summary, we conclude that Preterists have failed to demonstrate an objective, reasonable basis for rejecting the traditional interpretation of Irenaeus' statement. And therefore, Preterists have failed to make the case for a pre-90's dating of Revelation. This is based on two points, which we have argued thoroughly above. One, the traditional intepretation of Irenaeus' statement and the traditional dating of Revelation are inherently more reasonable, intuitive, and simple from a grammatical standpoint. Two, the unavoidable, logical extensions of the Preterist view on this matter inevitably lead to an absurd understanding of how the early Church arrived at a Futurist doctrine. | 2019-04-26T16:04:10Z | http://biblestudying.net/rev-date.html |

Blake Frazier has done a good job of running the auditor's office for a number of years. My goal as auditor would be to build upon his foundation and employ new technologies where there is a logical fit.
In my current capacity as an IT Consultant, I see new ways of accomplishing business goals almost daily. My clients rely on me to look at their processes and recommend new, better and cost-effective solutions to enhance and/or better them. I will bring this same critical eye to the auditor's office and actively look for ways to increase efficiency, lower costs, and provide even better service to the County Council and citizens of Summit County.
I understand that many Summit County Special Districts have not been recently audited by the Auditor's office. Thus the financial and procedural auditing of the special districts and other relevant offices would be a priority. Modernization, where cost effective, championed. An easily accessible mechanism for keeping the taxpayer informed will be implemented. Reviewing and updating audit objectives, plans, tests, documentation and remediation would also be a priority. State and professional training and certification commensurate with the position is critical for efficient functioning. The Deputy Auditor should be able to competently fill in for the auditor should the need arise. Similarly, the auditor should be a Certified Government Auditing Professional (CGAP). As Auditor I will sit for the CGAP exam during my first year in office. The relatively poor morale within the Auditor's office, due to internal and external factors, must be resolved.

Our new “bot” detection technology means more accurate article view reports for you.
If you checked your EzineArticles article reports recently, you might have noticed a slight change from the numbers you’re accustomed to seeing. What the reports are showing you now is actually a more accurate profile of the traffic your articles are generating.
After months of analyzing data, we have come up with a system that is more accurate in calculating actual “human” views versus “bot” views of your articles. This means the accuracy in the results is far more “real” and significantly reduces the number of false views from bots or scripts.
In the past, when one of these automated devices accessed an article it would occasionally be recorded by our systems as a view from a real human being. We have placed a tremendous amount of effort into recognizing and ignoring these non-human hits. The effort has paid off and your traffic reports are now more accurate than ever!
With our updated bot-detection technology, your article views will more accurately report how many times real human beings read your articles.
Log in to your EzineArticles member account.
If you’re unclear about the statistical categories we use, look for easy explanations in the beige-colored copy block before your statistics.
If you have any thoughts or questions about this new technology, please leave a comment below.
What a great improvement! Thanks a lot! It might remove some of the real bad articles I sometimes see under the “most viewed” area.
Timely step. Sometimes I too wondered about if the views were real or not.
Do you think somebody could manipulate views through devices?
Where there is a will, there is a way to cheat.
Our full-time security team of network admins work very hard to minimize those who abuse our systems and overall I think they do a heck of a job.
So all of those article views I am seeing reported are all real humans then – wonderful!
It is good to know that real people are reading them.
But I think this one, EzineArticles, is so far ahead of the crowd because of this kind of effort you and your staff are adding.
Great example of over deliver and customer care.
Thanks EzineArticles. I wish you Gods guidance and blessing.
Great work! It a understandable that it is the quality that make EzineArticles the best among the bests. Keep up the good work.
There is lots of information available on this site that is most useful for any one. I really love reading and updating the techniques as internet marketer.
Good article and lots of information on this website is more useful and essential for users.
Anything that helps control the use of bots is good news in my book. Many thanks.
This is great news. Although it’s old news… Nonetheless, I appreciate the efforts being made by EzineArticles to protect us from artificial views and spammers. Thanks! | 2019-04-20T06:47:52Z | http://blog.ezinearticles.com/2010/03/were-separating-the-humans-from-the-bots.html |

You all know I am a nature walker, I love my little hikes in the Connemara hills, but I am also a dog lover. I love my boxer dogs and for me it is not a good walk if they are not with me.
You have no idea how cool it is to go out with the boys.
We all walk with the same pace, it is quiet and peaceful on the road, it's just us and mother nature.
I usually let them go in front of me, but most of all they love to fit me in the middle, so I am save and sound between them. You never know, someone might try to talk to me...Not a very wise idea if you are a man, my boys get a bit cranky and don't really let anyone come close. Otherwise I keep telling everyone they are just a pair of sofa cushions.
I know that no one believes me though, especially when I see people crossing the road, afraid to walk past us.
I feel sad sometimes knowing how misunderstood boxers are. Because of their size and the unusual amount of energy, people believe them to be scary beasts. | 2019-04-22T23:59:33Z | https://vratsagrl.blogspot.com/2015/ |

How do I begin? What Medium do I use? What Brush Do I use? How am I going to learn it all?
Are these some questions you ask yourself when you’re making an oil painting, or when you studying, practicing and trying to learn to oil paint?
What about giving you a formula, a complete system you can easily learn and follow for every painting you make…no matter what subject matter you are painting?
Well, I’ve gone through that “tell you what you’re doing wrong” teaching. You know what…I know firsthand that it doesn’t work. It’s very expensive that’s for sure…but it doesn’t work!
If you want to know the secrets of the procedures of the masters…their techniques, their supplies, all their secrets… given to you on a silver platter in video demonstration form, this is what you have been waiting for.
This is a 7 Part Video Series that will cover every step of oil painting from choosing, preparing and using your materials through the entire painting process.
In essence, it breaks down all the steps into a formula for you to follow.
I’ve been teaching oil painting online for about 10 years and privately before that at $180 per hour.
Did you see the short video trailer at the top of this page?…it shows you clips that are taken right from the training package so you can see what’s in store for you and hopefully get you excited about what you’re about to discover.
I am the one painting in the videos so you can see some of the work I do.Let me also just show you some small photos of paintings I have done.
1) Preparing your canvas: You will learn every step of preparing raw canvas. You will also learn how to use already pre-stretched canvas, but you will see demonstrations of a few simple things to do to the canvas so you can get the surface quality of the old masters.
3) Colors: You will get the ultimate training in your colors from choosing your paint and color to learning how to make your own paint (much easier than you think). You will learn what colors you need, how to use them to mix any color you want and where in your paintings those colors will be used.This is a mini course by itself.
4) Mediums: Need I discuss how important and confusing a topic this is?You’ll watch me discuss all the major components that can be added to your mixed painting medium. You’ll see how I demonstrate how different mediums will have different effects on your paint.
5) Brushes / painting knifes I’ll go over brushes, which ones you need, which ones I use and why how to choose yours, use em, and clean em.
This is where the color really begins to take off. Many people have such a hard time with this part. They get an underpainting done, but don’t know what comes next.
How do you add your colors or overlayers over your dried underpainting? Now, you will see it demonstrated for you.
This is where it can get really fun and your style comes out. This stage of the oil painting formula really starts making all the work you have done up to this point, all the layers play their own role in the painting.
Ever heard about the layers and layers of glazes and veilings the old masters used?
7) Learn when to paint those little parts of your paintings that people tend to look at first.

A darker piece, inspired by artwork from the Silent Hill video game series.
Like many others, it started as a sketch I had laying around for a long time and decided to try some coloring using Photoshop.
One of the things that differed from the concept to the final piece is the nature of the villain depicted. On the original concept, it was a faceless creature with a human-like figure, while in the finished image it's definitely a human being. I did that because I wanted to work on the creature on a later piece. | 2019-04-19T13:04:49Z | http://blog.sandrodcpereira.com/2009/02/unavoidability.html |
David Rivers stars in this series of thrillers by author Jason Kasper, who is a former Green Beret.
For fifteen years, Jason served in the United States Army, starting as a Ranger private in the year 2001 and finished up as captain and team leader with Special Forces in the year 2016. Jason is a veteran of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and graduated from West Point. He was a skydiver, an avid marathon and ultramarathon runner, and BASE jumper, all things that inspire his fiction writing.
David Rivers is an Army Ranger and a veteran, seeing combat in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. As a result of his service, he suffers from post traumatic stress disorder, and has issues with alcohol and is suicidal. After his team is betrayed, he works to get revenge on them.
The series began publication in the year 2016, when “Greatest Enemy” was released, and is from the thriller genre. “Greatest Enemy” is also his debut novel.
“Greatest Enemy” is the first novel in the “David Rivers” series, which was released in the year 2016. David Rivers has just about completed his last year at West Point, and he has his world turned upside down when he is suddenly discharged from service in the military. He is both confused and angry and it is not long before he hits rock bottom.
That is when three guys show up. Three mysterious men that know David’s deep and dark secret. They are aware that he has killed someone in cold blood. And they would like for him to do it again.
David is quickly thrown into ex-special operators for hire’s covert underworld. It is a place where victory is defined by your profit, and rules are made by the highest bidder. The stakes continue to rise, and he finds out that his new employer is far more ruthless that anybody that he has faced in combat. This person could just be the greatest enemy David has ever faced.
This is a cleverly paced, engaging, unexpectedly deep, and impeccably written book. It takes you on a wild ride that never lets up the entire way through. All of the characters, even the minor ones, in the book were brought to life, and felt very real.
“Offer of Revenge” is the second novel in the “David Rivers” series, which was released in the year 2017. David is haunted by the loss of his friends who he failed to save and lives in exile. A mysterious ally brings him an offer of revenge, and David accepts it without questioning it.
David has to join up with the very same secretive and lethal group that killed the only family he used to have in order to kill his biggest enemy.
To prove his loyalty, he gets into a life-or-death fight in the badlands of Somalia against a ruthless force of enemy fighters. He starts to see that his team being betrayed was not as random as he once thought while he moves closer to his target. There is someone inside of this organization that seems to know what David’s real purpose is, which might mean one thing. There might have been more survivors than just David.
This book is tough to put down and it is best to start when you have plenty of time to devote to reading the book. The plot moves swiftly, and there is tons of action. David Rivers makes for a fantastic yet flawed hero that the reader quickly cares for immensely.
“Dark Redemption” is the third novel in the “David Rivers” series, which was released in the year 2018. David has just come back from Somalia, where he undertook a brutal combat mission, and only has revenge on his mind. After he kills the betrayer of his teammates, he sets out to kill the faceless mastermind that orchestrated the deaths from far away. For the first time, the prize he seeks is within his grasp.
David accomplishes something few have by managing to get an elusive meeting with the person called the Handler. Nothing at all from his murderous past could have gotten him ready for what would happen when he finally sees his biggest enemy face to face.
Before he is able to kill the Handler, he has to serve him once again. David is given a new task this time around. Protect someone rather than kill them. As David works through all of the maze of twisted loyalties in the brutal slums in Rio de Janeiro, he understands that the betrayal of his old teammates is just the start.
All the lethal confrontations in Rio bring David and the Handler face to face one last time, he understands that the consequences for his unending search for revenge might be worse than death is.
Once again, Jason Kasper has knocked it out of the park with a novel starring David Rivers. It is another read that is tough to step away from and do other things for very long. Kasper is quickly becoming a powerful new talent in this realm of action adventure military thriller.
“Vengeance Calling” is the fourth novel in the “David Rivers” series, which was released in the year 2018. Condemned to die while working as a deep cover agent for a criminal leader, David finds an ally that shares a goal with him. Killing the mastermind that governs the illicit underworld.
The last piece needed to complete a highly intelligent assassination plot is caught in the middle of a firestorm during a civil war in Myanmar. To murder his greatest foe and rescue the only surviving teammate he has left, David is going to have to survive some impossible odds. Odds that he will beat, no matter what the cost is.
The perilous journey plays out, and David figures out that things are not as they seem at all, and no loyalties are far from absolute. He quickly finds that he is forced to pick between two giant evils, as his sole friend’s life hangs in the balance. | 2019-04-23T14:55:21Z | https://www.bookseriesinorder.com/david-rivers/ |
Dubai-based lawyer Cynthia Trench was the first legal practitioner to register a will at DIFC's Wills and Probate Registry.
Hong Kong-born Cynthia Trench has been living in the UAE for 27 years and runs the Dubai law firm Trench and Associates, specialising in corporate and property law as well as private clients. She was the first woman expatriate to be licensed as a lawyer in Dubai in 1996, and the first lawyer to register a will at the Dubai International Financial Centre’s Wills and Probate Registry (a legal entity independent from UAE laws) when it was launched last May. A DIFC will, which costs Dh10,000 (or Dh15,000 for “mirror” wills for a couple) allows non-Muslim expatriates to register English-language wills, and any disputes to be heard in the DIFC courts.
The first thing I do is walk my dog Brienne around the Arabian Ranches, where I’ve owned a villa for the past 10 years. Before that I rented, mostly in Jumeirah and Umm Suqeim. Dubai was such a village back then and communities were close-knit, with lots of garden parties. I also have a cat called Ginger. Both are from local rescue centres. Breakfast is yoghurt and berries, granola and soy milk or mango, papaya and my favourite pomelo, with a handful of vitamin tablets on the side.
My drive to work, in Bur Dubai near the BurJuman Centre, takes half an hour and I use the time to call my PA, Joanne, or my lawyers to discuss the day ahead.
I make sure to say my good mornings to the team before I head into my office to check email. The business has grown to 21 staff since I first got my licence 20 years ago; there were only 50 to 100 foreign lawyers in Dubai back then.
I meet three to four clients a day – some for mergers and acquisitions but a lot personally, too. Many of my clients come to me to arrange DIFC wills, and I’m surprised how many of them have been duped by unlicensed legal advisers with unenforceable “UAE-compliant” or “Dubai” wills before finally coming to me. It is so important to have a will anywhere you live and protecting your assets is important. I have seen families dragged through the courts for years before any monies are released. I also take time to talk to various groups across the city on inheritance matters every month. Recently I’ve talked to a group at Masafi and about 150 staff at Emirates Airline.
I bring a packed lunch – anything from seared salmon with vegetables to tuna and avocado salad or homemade chicken noodle soup. I research holiday ideas while I eat. I love scuba diving and recently took a four-day break to Rendaang in Malaysia with my best friend, Laura, and her family – we spent two of those days diving. I got my Padi Open Water certificate 30 years ago but the advanced level only four years ago.
Supervising my team is very important to me – I have two associate lawyers and five paralegals – and I usually review their drafts and discuss strategy on client cases. When it comes to mergers and acquisitions, we will go to the client’s office to discuss structure and agreements required; we can then spend hours going through due diligence papers and negotiating final agreements. I also spend a lot of time with my PA and finance manager to review our budget, targets and projections.
I schedule a lot of out-of-office meetings with clients or new contacts at the Capital Club in DIFC, of which I am a member; it has a professional atmosphere. I also go to networking events there, or at the World Trade Club, as well as the British Business Group.
I try to make it to the gym twice a week for weights and interval training with my personal trainer. At least once a week I’m at Dubai English Speaking School in the evening for an event or meeting. I’m the chairwoman of the board of governors and proud to play such a constructive role. In February they named the library after me, which is a real honour.
I come home to a nice healthy meal cooked by my maid; tonight it’s organic chicken with lemon slices. I always buy organic meat and vegetables. A couple of times a week I’ll head out for dinner – last night it was Cipriani’s with a friend, and earlier this week I had the most amazing beef rib shepherd’s pie at the Four Seasons with my godson, Louis. At the weekend, I stay home more, so I have time to myself and with my pets. And I’ve just found HBO Now on my Apple TV, so I’m catching up with Game of Thrones.
I have just bought a crystal lyre for sound healing and am trying to meditate to its song for 10 minutes to wind down at night. If I have the chance, it’s wonderful to do this by the lake in the Ranches, with the birds chirping and the breeze blowing. I usually go to bed at 11pm – the cat and dog are not allowed upstairs – and take an hour to catch up with reading before I fall asleep. | 2019-04-24T03:54:43Z | https://www.thenational.ae/business/day-in-the-life-there-is-a-way-when-there-s-a-will-for-dubai-lawyer-1.204898 |
The premiere took place on May 12th, 2015 in Tallinn (with additional performances on the 13th, 14th and 15th of May). Orchestra, choir and soloists were conducted by Grammy award winner Tõnu Kaljuste, who had already premiered a number of Arvo Pärt’s pieces.

The Vortex Venom is an awesome, compact red dot sight for many purposes. Many other red dot sights create lots of bulk, add weight, and take up valuable space in your sight picture.
The Vortex Venom Red Dot Sight is slim, trim and lightweight while still packing all the utility of any other red dot sight. With the included Picatinny mount, the package weighs just 1.6 ounces. The small size and weight make it perfect for a lightweight AR carbine or pistol, a shotgun, or even a semi-automatic handgun.
At 3 MOA, the dot size is a happy medium between precision and speed. It is easily usable out to 100 yards, and even further with a little bit of practice. The sight has 10 brightness settings and even has an automatic setting using a sensor to detect ambient light and automatically adjust. The battery is meant to last 150 hours on the highest setting, while Vortex claims up to 30,000 hours (almost 4 years) on the lowest setting.
Speaking of the battery, the battery on the Venom is easily replaced without removing the sight. The top cover can be a little finicky, but once you get the hang of it the battery changes are very fast.
If you are looking for an incredibly compact, lightweight and versatile red dot optic for a defensive carbine, pistol, or shotgun, the Venom delivers. Just make sure to get a riser if you want to co-witness with Iron Sights because it is small! | 2019-04-20T10:59:28Z | https://www.15builds.com/vortex-venom-red-dot-sight/ |
Hi everyone! Karen Ellis here.
If you know me, or my articles in the magazine, you’ll know that I love my Gelli Plate.
I love creating one of a kind papers for my cards, collages and projects. It’s an incredible amount of fun to make your own designs and I love discovering new ways to make marks and uniquely designed prints.
Recently I spent the weekend in the studio channeling my inner kindergarten student… creating texture tools out of some items I had laying around the shop. Here are some examples of what I created and samples of the prints they made.
1. Buttons – glue buttons to some foam and stamp away!!
2. Elastic Bands (and a little Saran Wrap) – Wrap the elastics around a play rolling pin (I got mine at the dollar store). Tear off a bit of Saran Wrap and wrap that around the pin too! Gives is a little extra texture!
3. Straws – Cut up some straws and glue them to a piece of foam. Use that to press and make mark in your prints!
4. Foam – I used my Brother ScanNCut Electronic die cutting machine to cut some dollar store craft foam to create texture rollers.
Design patterns with the pre-programmed images. Don’t forget to use positive and negative images for this!!
The MOST Fun I had using the Brother ScanNCut was creating my own texture foam roller from one of my own doodles. Here I doodled a floral image with a sharpie and then scanned it into the Brother ScanNCut machine to create a cut file. Then I went ahead and cut the image out of the foam. LOVE how this turned out! I think I might have to cut this image again out of vinyl to create my own stencil/mask. How cool is that?
Whoop whoop very cool Karen, what a great idea. Love it.
Oh, Karen. Love the stencil from doodle idea! Wouldn’t that be a fun workshop?
you are brilliant!!!!!!!!!! Love all your ideas!!! | 2019-04-26T08:12:44Z | https://creativescrapbooker.ca/2014/11/04/tuesday-with-the-team-with-karen-ellis-2/ |
