White sea bass - an unexpected Bay Area guest
In an uncanny year for Bay Area fish and wildlife, one of the most outlandish events of summer was verified this past week in Half Moon Bay.
And it's great news.
Large numbers of big white sea bass were confirmed feasting on a huge school of squid offshore from the Ritz Carlton and the Half Moon Bay Golf Links.
It gives hope that white sea bass could create a sensational new fishery, perhaps similar to what has taken hold out of Monterey in late summer and fall as populations of the fish expand northward.
White sea bass often roam inshore in shallow water, within range of those with kayaks and small boats.
Andy Roberts, a captain with the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, was on site in a patrol vessel, the Marlin, a 54-foot catamaran patrol boat out of Berkeley, and said he's never seen so many white sea bass off the Bay Area coast.
"We were at Mavericks doing some work and ran into a few squid boats," Roberts said. "We saw them three nights in a row, fishing between Pillar Point and south of Half Moon Bay, and it sparked my curiosity."
At midweek, commercial seiners discovered a vast school of squid near shore, Roberts said. That alone is unusual; not only the location but the size and number of squid.
White sea bass, and a lot of them, were feeding on the squid and found their way into the seines, he discovered. Commercial fishermen employ a seine to encircle a school of squid. Unlike many other kinds of nets, with a seine, nontarget species, such as white sea bass, can be removed and released unharmed.
White sea bass are long, big and strong, colored gray-blue on their backs, silver on their bellies, with dark specks on their side. The average sea bass is about 10 pounds and can provide great fishing for anglers using light tackle along inshore kelp beds.
They can get huge. The state record on rod and reel is 78 pounds, caught in 2002 in Monterey Bay. The biggest verified in California history was 5 feet long and 93 pounds, taken by a diver in Southern California.
About this time last year, white sea bass were confirmed near Pigeon Point Lighthouse. Last week's episode could be the natural expansion of their population as they follow the food north.
In the 1980s, commercial gillnetters in Southern California just about wiped out white sea bass. A hatchery program out of Hubbs-Sea World Research Institute in Carlsbad helped jump-start a recovery. In recent years out of Monterey, white sea bass have provided some of the best inshore fishing on the coast, best in late August, September and early October.
Because they often roam inshore waters to feed on squid, mackerel and sardines, often near kelp forests, it allows a chance for anglers to catch prize fish without a big boat or a long ride offshore. Out of Monterey, some will use small skiffs and even fly-fish for them. Others have caught them from kayaks, where if you hook a big one, you get what is called "a sleigh ride."
As a boy, on a trip with brother Rambob and Dad Stienstra on a rental dory out of Capitola, we hooked something giant and fought it for about an hour. This was in only 30 feet of water on the edge of a kelp bed, where we were fishing for small rockfish.
We passed the rod around, and that fish did everything but pull one of us in. It was one of the strongest fish I've experienced in California. After an hour, in a dramatic bulldog charge, it broke in half a vintage Calcutta rod that my grandfather said, "no fish could ever break."
Well, we found the fish that could do it. It was a white sea bass, maybe a 50- or 60-pounder.
The idea of that kind of opportunity in the nearshore shallows, within short range of harbors, is a mind-bending prospect for the coming years. The expansion of the white sea bass population could transform the coast.
A weird year
Roberts confirmed more strange goings-on in the briny green. He saw orcas chasing salmon and squid off Point Reyes last week, and then encountered the squid and white sea bass. It's been that kind of year: Tons of early-season krill; lots of whales, humpbacks and blues, plus orcas; sightings of leatherback turtles at the Farallones; many days of howling wind; unusually cold water temperatures, 47, 48 degrees; when the wind has been down, great fishing for lots of big salmon, with a 20-pound average out of Bodega Bay; yet terrible fishing for striped bass and halibut, broken by a wide-open day on the bay July 12; on the beach, inshore hydraulics from a deep swell have pushed the fish out of casting range. If this white sea bass thing becomes more than an anomaly, it will be the event nobody forgets.
Coyotes in S.F., cont.
How many coyotes are in San Francisco? A lot, based on continued sightings. Add Sunset Boulevard, across from the greenbelt, where coyotes have been sighted, with a pack of four spotted trotting through the greenbelt at dusk, reports John Girarde. ... Another spot to add to the extensive list is Twin Peaks Boulevard, where Lesley Guth reports coyotes howling along with sightings along the street and the hill just above it. ... Jamie Pruden not only saw a coyote hunting a gopher in San Francisco across the street from St. Ignatius High School, but also took photos with his phone and reports the coyote ignored people within 20 feet.
Giant Tahoe trout
Here's a fish tale in which a nutcase on a personal watercraft saved the day: Off Camp Richardson at South Lake Tahoe, Capt. Gene St. Denis guided customers to two of Tahoe's biggest trout of the year: an 11-pound rainbow, 1 ounce shy of the lake record, by Jerry Upcavage on vacation from Florida, and a 39-inch, 22-pound mackinaw trout for Sam Polak, on vacation from Texas. Now get this: "A guy on a Jet Ski ran over the top of the fishing line, which scared the monster rainbow trout straight down to the bottom of the lake," St. Denis said. "That saved the fishing line from being cut when a 40-foot yacht ran over it." (530) 544-6552, www.blueribbonfishing.com.

I guess it's already quite obvious that I'm really, indeed, crushing on Alexander Ludwig. Teehee!
This is probably my 3rd post about him in the past week. And...more to come! CHOZ!
I'm really so watching The Hunger Games again this weekend. I swear. Have you seen it already? You guys should really watch it. As in. Swear. Super. I'm not exaggerating here but it's a really cool movie! Not to mention...Alexander Ludwig plays the role of Cato in that film. Ahihihihi!
I love Alexander Ludwig.
And seeing these photos of him last night...made me LOVE him even MORE! Teehee!
I'm so "malandeh...."
I love you, Alexander Ludwig!
*fan mode*
Oh, gosh...I love him.... *melting*
Let's get to know Alexander Ludwig a little bit more (from Wikipedia):
Alexander Ludwig (born May 7, 1992) is a Canadian teen actor. He played Will Stanton in the 2007 fantasy film, The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising. In March 2009, Ludwig appeared in a lead role in Disney's Race to Witch Mountain. In 2012, he played Cato in The Hunger Games.
Early life
Ludwig was born in Vancouver, British Columbia. He has twin sisters, Natalie and Sophia, and a brother, Nicholas. His mother, Sharlene (née Martin), is a former actress, and his father, Harald Horst Ludwig, is a businessman, the Co-Chairman of the Board for Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. The actor was drawn to the profession, saying in an interview, "I have a big imagination. I love performing." Yet, despite his mother's early career as an actress, Ludwig had to convince his parents to support his desire to pursue a career as a child actor. His parents believed that child actors "can get sucked into a life that isn't reality."
Ludwig began his career at the age of nine when he featured in a Harry Potter toy commercial, a job that enabled him to sign on with an agent and obtain more commercial work. Later he was cast in movies such as Air Bud World Pup (2000), MXP: Most Extreme Primate (2003), Scary Godmother: The Revenge Of Jimmy (2005), Eve and the Fire Horse (2005), The Sandlot: Heading Home (aka, The Sandlot 3) (2007). In addition to cinema, Ludwig has also worked in television. He has performed in movies made for television, such as A Little Thing Called Murder (2006), and series television such as The Dead Zone. Ludwig obtained his leading role in The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising (2007) after a "gruelling audition process." By his count, he had 16 auditions before finally being cast.
Ludwig's next lead role came in the part of Seth — one half of a teenage, alien brother-sister duo — in the film production of Race to Witch Mountain (2009), also starring Dwayne Johnson, the professional wrestler turned actor. Seth is the part originated by Ike Eisenmann in the 1975 original, Escape to Witch Mountain. The film opened at number 1 at the box office the weekend that it premiered with receipts estimated at $25 million. Whereas the casting process for The Seeker had been arduous, getting the part for Witch Mountain was relatively painless. From the moment Ludwig auditioned, the director knew that he was the actor he wanted for the role of Seth.
Despite his early casting success with The Seeker, Ludwig indicated in a contemporaneous interview that it was his intention to attend university. In another interview, the actor said that the most challenging thing about filming The Seeker was trying "to juggle school while filming. My school wasn't used to it, and I wasn't used to it. It was the most amazing experience, but it was really hard." Ludwig is enrolled as a theatre major at the University of Southern California, and lives full time in Los Angeles.
He played Cato in the movie adaptation of The Hunger Games. The film was released worldwide on March 23, 2012.
And now...the moment that we've all been waiting for....
Oh, I love his smile. And, yeah, his biceps. His strong biceps. Ahihihihi!
I love you, Alexander Ludwig!
LOLZ! I dunno what's happening to me. I'm 24 and the guy's 19 turning 20. Teehee!
Oh, gosh....
Please watch "The Hunger Games." And support Alexander Ludwig! (^_^)
A very hot hot hot male model heaven good morning greeting.
Good morning, everyone!
♥ Mwah! ♥

Last week, in the middle of my recovery, I realized that I had my appointment for a Nexus card. Unfortunately, I realized that I had the appointment less than a day ahead of time so I couldn't cancel it (in my recovery, I'm often easily confused and forgetful, with no sense of time) and the Nexus appointment was booked 6 months ago, waaaay back in May, before our trip to Venice.

The power output from the ISL engine is controlled by an accelerator governor within the ECM. As with all Cummins electronic engines there are two distinct types of accelerator governor, each providing unique characteristics that affect the manner in which the engine responds to operator input. The two types of accelerator governor available in the ISL are:
Automotive GovernorWith the Automotive Governor, the power output is determined by the position of the accelerator pedal. As is the case with a standard automobile governor, the accelerator pedal must be fully depressed for the operator to command full power output. Under normal operating conditions the operator will change the accelerator pedal position to vary the power output and thereby control vehicle speed.
Variable Speed (VS) GovernorSometimes referred to as an 'all speed' governor, the variable speed accelerator governor controls engine speed based on accelerator pedal position. With this type of governor, the operator controls vehicle speed by maintaining a constant accelerator pedal position. By fully depressing the accelerator pedal with a variable speed governor, the operator commands the maximum engine speed available. The choice between the Automotive type accelerator and the Variable Speed type accelerator governor should be based on vehicle configuration and operator preference. The Automotive type is most commonly used on Cummins engines. To provide additional flexibility, some vehicles are equipped with a cab switch that allows the operator to switch from one type to other in response to changing circumstances and preference. The Accelerator feature group is also very accommodating for specialty applications. The control system supports the installation of a remote accelerator pedal and can even deactivate the accelerator pedal under desired conditions (example: school bus door open).

The shepherd watches over his flock. This was fun to paint, all the interesting texture in the sheep, the old wood and the shepherd's clothes! I added the red scarf last to create movement and draw the eye to the sheep. It works! Hope you like this one.
Merry Christmas to all of you and hope you have a healthy, happy New Year. Thank you for looking at my blog, Egretta

The Complete Beginner's Tutorial to Install Website SSL Certificate
For a long time, HTTPS was used primarily by large companies, by e-commerce sites, and by those that gather sensitive user data. The regular blog, which only gets a username and email had no reason to install website SSL certificate.
Then Google included HTTPS in its ranking signals. This means you may boost your site ranking by installing website SSL certificate. Nobody knows exactly how big the boost will be, but all tend to agree that there will be one.
Even if your site is a plain blog, it will still benefit from going secure. Revenue Confessions does not process private user data and yet I decided having a green lock in the address bar is worth it.
It may sound scary to those that lack technical skills. It may sound expensive too. Well, for the regular blog that only gathers username and email, it is neither of them!
Website SSL Certificate Vendors
Your hosting provider most likely sells security certificates. Go now and check your hosting web page and look for "SSL certificates" or "HTTPS". When you find it, you'll see there are several options, some of them mentioning "Green address bar", "Business validation" or "Multidomain". You don't need any of these for your blog. If you run an e-commerce site or process payments and credit card info, then you'll need to research these certificates and pick the one that suites you the best.
For the typical blog that serves advertisement and provides affiliate links, there is no need to go for the expensive options. The cheapest one that provides basic encryption is enough. It is called Domain Validated (DV) Certificate.
I know it is tempting to buy a certificate from your hosting company. I advise you to browse other buying options too. After you see your host offers, make a google search and check out competition prices.
The SSL Store
I would recommend visiting The SSL Store. I made an extensive search for certificates and this is the site that provides high-quality trustworthy certificates at the lowest prices. It offers a variety of SSL brands like Symantec, GeoTrust, Thawte, and Comodo among others.
The SSL Store provides the Norton Shopping Guarantee for each purchase. This shopping guarantee provides two benefits. First, refunds are independently guaranteed up to $1000. Second, it provides lowest price guarantee – if the published price drops, they pay the difference up to $100.
You may still be inclined to pay a few dollars more and go with the hosting company. I'm ok with that. Just keep in mind that these are not one-time purchases, these are subscriptions that will be paid every year, and every year you'll have to pay these few dollars more just because you were afraid to pick the cheaper option the first time.
And why are you afraid to look outside your hosting provider? I know, I was afraid too. I presumed that sticking with my hosting provider will spare me troubles installing website SSL certificate. That's why I read all the instructions, provided by my hosting provider. Then I compared them to the instructions I needed to follow if I bought the certificate elsewhere. They were the same! That's how I overcome my fears.
I bought my certificate from the SSL Store and I had no troubles installing it. I documented each step, no matter how small it was from buying the certificate, generating CSR, installing the certificate and updating the site and its Google Analytics settings. Read along for the most detailed tutorial to install website SSL certificate.
The best part is there is no need to shut your site down for the installation. The whole procedure will take you an hour or two with your site running the whole time.
Install Website SSL Certificate Tutorial
All screenshots below are from my real experience. I bought a RapidSSL certificate from The SSL Store and I used that certificate to secure my site revenueconfessions.com. I access my hosting through cPanel. You may follow this tutorial even if you choose another SSL certificate or buy it from elsewhere.
Tutorial Contents
I. Buy an SSL Certificate
II. SSL Certificate Generation Options
III. Generate Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
IV. Finalize SSL Certificate Generation
V. Certificate Validation
VI. Install Certificate
VII. Update Website
VIII. Let Google Know
It may look a long list of steps initially. That's because I put every single mouse click in a separate step with a screenshot. There is no way you get lost with this comprehensive tutorial.
I. Buy an SSL Certificate
Step 1 – Choose and Buy an SSL Certificate
Choose a certificate and buy it. I won't go into detail how to enter your credit card number. If you've ever bought anything online, you'll pass this step without problems.
Step 2 – Purchase Complete
After a successful purchase, you'll have an account created automatically for you. Enter a password that you'll remember and click Set Now button. You'll need that account in case you have to interrupt your SSL setup process and come back to it later. You may use the same account for more purchases in the future.
You'll also receive two emails – the first one confirms your order and the second one provides you with details about your Norton Shopping Guarantee.
If you have any problems with the steps so far, do not hesitate to tell me in the comments. TOP
II. SSL Certificate Generation Options
Now that you've paid for a certificate, you'll have to answer a few simple questions to get a certificate tailored to your needs.
Step 3 – Start The Generation Process
There is a big red button Begin that you have to click. The button may look big and scary, but the process that follows is actually quite easy and straightforward.
Step 4 – Select Your Order Type
Select New when buying the SSL certificate for the first time. Next time, when the certificate expires, you go through the same process, but then you have to select Renewal.
Step 5 – Switching From Another SSL Brand
First-time buyers select No. This step is applicable to those who renew their existing certificate and have decided to change SSL providers. If you're one of them, follow the instructions carefully. You can receive up to 12 additional free months added onto your new certificate depending on when your current certificate expires.
Step 6 – Choose Your Automated Authentication Option
If you've purchased a Domain Validated (DV) certificate like me, you have to prove you own the domain that you're buying a certificate for. There are three options:
- Email – the issuing vendor will send a simple email to confirm ownership of the domain in question:
- File – the issuing vendor will provide you with a simple text-based file for you to place it in your website's home directory:
- CNAME record – the issuing vendor will provide you with unique hash values to enter on your DNS CNAME record:
Email is the easiest option. You'll receive an email at the email address you've used to register the domain name, or one of the email addresses shown in the screenshot – firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, etc (you'll specify the exact email address later).
Choose Email Authentication option, unless you have a particular reason to avoid it and you know what you're doing.
Step 7 – Input Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
In order to get an SSL certificate, you'll have to submit a certificate signing request first. I know it starts to seem complicated and that blue button We'll install for $24.99 looks tempting, but hold on! It's quite easy, do nothing here for now, leave this browser tab open and proceed to the next step.
If you have any problems with the steps so far, do not hesitate to tell me in the comments. TOP
III. Generate Certificate Signing Request (CSR)
You have to switch to your hosting portal to perform the next steps.
Step 8 – Log In To Your Hosting Account
Open another tab in your browser and log into your hosting account. My hosting company provides me with access to my site through cPanel and this is how it looks for me. It may look differently for you, but the same functionality would be there. Click on the SSL/TLS item in the Security section.
Step 9 – SSL/TLS Manager
See the big heading Certificate Signing Requests (CSR) so you know you're on the right way. Click the link Generate, view, or delete SSL certificate signing requests below it.
Step 10 – SSL Certificate Signing Request
If you setup HTTPS for the first time, you'll probably see the yellow warning under the heading Generate a New Certificate Signing Request (CSR) that reads:
"You do not have any Private Keys setup for this account. You must generate or upload a key before you can generate any certificate signing requests."
If you see this warning, don't worry and proceed to the next step. If you don't have such a warning, skip the next 2 steps and proceed directly to Step 13.
Step 11 – Private Keys
Go back to the SSL/TLS Manager (see the screenshot from Step 9) and click on the link Generate, view, upload, or delete your private keys under the Private Keys (KEY) heading. There you'll see the Generate a New Private Key section at the top of the page. Make sure 2,048 bits is selected for Key Size and click Generate button.
Step 12 – Private Key Generated
When the new private key is generated, you'll see a confirmation message in green:
"The server has generated the private key requested. To use this private key on another server, copy and paste the information from the encoded field below"
Now go back to Certificate Signing Requests (CSR) page from Step 10. Verify the yellow warning from step 10 is no longer there.
Step 13 – Generate a New Signing Request
It is time to generate the signing request. Scroll down to Generate a New Certificate Signing Request (CSR) section and fill the form:
Key – select Generate a new 2,048 bit key.
Domains – enter your domain. If you want your certificate to work for both yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com you must enter the domain with www like this: www.yourdomain.com. A common mistake is to enter the domain without "www" – then www.yourdomain.com won't be secured. As you see from the screenshot, I did it too and I had to go back and make a new CSR again.
City and State – enter your city and state. Provide the complete name for them. Do not use abbreviations.
Country – pick your country from the list.
Company – enter your company name here. If you haven't registered a company yet, enter either your site name or your name.
The next fields Company Division, Email, Passphrase and Description are not mandatory, fill them only if you wish.
Click Generate button below.
Step 14 – Copy Your Certificate Signing Request
If your CSR is generated successfully you'll see a green message
"The Certificate Signing Request for "www.yourdomain.com" has been generated and saved in your user directory. To purchase a trusted certificate, you must copy the Encoded Certificate Signing Request below and send it to the Certificate Authority. Follow the instructions provided by your Certificate Authority."
Do as this message says and copy the CSR. Select the whole request below, including the first line —–BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST—– and the last line —–END CERTIFICATE REQUEST—–.
If you have any problems with the steps so far, do not hesitate to tell me in the comments. TOP
IV. Finalize SSL Certificate Generation
Step 15 – Paste Your Certificate Signing Request
Now go back to the other browser tab where SSL Store waits for you to finalize your certificate creation. Paste the Certificate Signing Request in the field.
Step 16 – Select Your Server
This is an optional step, so don't think too hard about what your server is. It's enough to pick cPanel from the list.
Step 17 – Select The Signature Algorithm
You may choose between two options here: SHA-2 and FULL SHA-2:
Select SHA-2 option. The FULL SHA-2 option is intended for specific use cases, and should only be selected if you 100% know this is satisfying your needs. Otherwise, you risk disabling access for clients/devices that do not trust the newer SHA-2 roots.
Click Continue button at the bottom.
Step 18 – Confirm The Information You've Entered
Read carefully all information you've provided and verify it is correct.
Step 19 – Enter Contact Information
Enter Site Administrator and Technical contact information. Site Administrator is the person that is responsible for order validation process. Keep in mind that Site Administrator email have to be one of the emails listed in Step 6. Technical contact is the person who will receive the new certificate and the renewal notices when the certificate nears expiration. It's fine to give the same contact for these two roles, that's why there is a handy checkbox under Technical contact information named Same as the Admin info above.
Step 20 – Finalize Order
Accept the subscriber agreement and finalize certificate order.
Step 21 – Certificate Order Done
Your order is ready. You may rate your experience.
If you have any problems with the steps so far, do not hesitate to tell me in the comments. TOP
V. Certificate Validation
Step 22 – Confirm Certificate Request
Check your email that you've entered for Site Administrator in Step 19. You'll receive an email to confirm the certificate request. Click on the link provided in the mail.
Step 23 – Order Review and Approval
The link from the email will bring up this webpage:
Review the certificate information one more time and then click on I Approve button at the bottom.
Step 24 – Order Approved
You'll see this confirmation screen.
Step 25 – Order Complete
Check your email again – you'll receive your SSL certificate. If you've entered a different email for Technical Contact, then you need to check that email for your certificate.
Your certificate is located at the bottom of the email, look for Web Server CERTIFICATE title. Copy the certificate including the lines —–BEGIN CERTIFICATE—– and —–END CERTIFICATE—–.
Under your certificate, you may see another certificate titled INTERMEDIATE CA. Do not bother copying it for now.
If you have any problems with the steps so far, do not hesitate to tell me in the comments. TOP
VI. Install Certificate
Step 26 – Upload Your Certificate
Go back to your browser tab where you have your cPanel open. Go to SSL/TLS Manager from Step 9. This time look for section Certificates (CRT) and click on the link Generate, view, upload, or delete SSL certificates.
Scroll down to Upload a New Certificate section and paste your certificate in the text box below. Then click on Save Certificate button.
Step 27 – Certificate Saved
If there are no errors in certificate installation process, you'll see this green confirmation message:
"The certificate for the domain "www.yourdomain.com" has been saved."
Click on the link Go back.
Step 28 – Install an SSL Website
Go back to SSL/TLS Manager page from Step 9. This time look for section Install and Manage SSL for your site (HTTPS) and click on the link Manage SSL sites below it.
Look for Install an SSL Website section and click on Browse Certificates button.
An SSL Certificate List will popup on your screen. Select the newly installed certificate and click the button Use Certificate.
Step 29 – Install Certificate
You'll see certificate text box populated. Make sure your correct domain is selected from the Domain drop-down list and click on Install Certificate button below.

Take a deep breath. The hard part is over!
Step 30 – Check Your Website
Open a new tab in your browser and visit your website by starting the URL with "https:", for instance, https://yourdomain.com. If you see the green lock in the browser's address bar, then everything is fine and you are ready. You may skip the next step and go straight to Step 32.
It is possible that the browser does not show the green lock and shows the website as "not secure". Do not despair! We'll fix that in a moment.
If you have any problems with the steps so far, do not hesitate to tell me in the comments. TOP
VII. Update Website
Step 31 – Mixed Content
The most probable reason for not having a secure connection is that your site loads some images or other resources through the unsecured http:// connection. View page source code and look for http://yourdomain and http://www.yourdomain.
If you are using Chrome browser, you may use Chrome developer tools to see the exact reason for the unsecured connection (see the screenshot above). Developer tools are accessible through Chrome Menu -> More Tools -> Developer Tools. If you click on View requests in Network Panel link, you'll see the particular requests that go unsecured.
You'll have to login in your WordPress admin area to fix these unsecured resources. When you're done, check your site again (Step 30) and you'll see the green lock.
Step 32 – Update Site URL
Log into your WordPress admin area. Go to Settings -> General. Replace http:// with https:// in WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL).
Step 33 – Update .htaccess File
Go back to your cPanel browser tab. From the cPanel home, open File Manager and go into your site's public directory, typically public_html. Locate the file named .htacccess and edit it.
Append this text at the end of the file:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yourdomian.com/$1 [R,L]
Do not forget to replace yourdomain above with your actual domain. Then save the file.
If you have any problems with the steps so far, do not hesitate to tell me in the comments. TOP
VIII. Let Google Know
Step 34 – Google Analytics Settings
If you use an analytics tool to measure your website traffic, you'll have to update your analytics settings. I show you how to do it for Google Analytics.
Open your analytics page and go to Admin tab -> Property Settings. Pick https:// from Default URL drop-down box. Click Save at the bottom of the page.
Go to Admin tab -> View Settings. Pick https:// from Website's URL drop-down box. Click Save at the bottom of the page.
Step 35 – Google Search Console
Open Google Search Console. Add two more properties for https://yourdomain and https://www.yourdomain.com. If you have a sitemap, submit a https one for these new properties.
If you have any problems with the steps so far, do not hesitate to tell me in the comments. TOP
That's All
Congratulations! You've managed to install an SSL certificate to your site all by yourself!
It's a good practice to schedule a reminder in your favorite calendar tool a month prior to your certificate expiration. This way you'll have enough time to renew the certificate when the time comes.

Principals Investigators (PIs) can work at the same Host Institution (HI), or at different HIs within one country or at HIs based in different countries, as long as they are established in an EU Member State or H2020 Associated Countries.
More information about the ERC-2018-SYG Grant Call is available in the ERC Work Programme 2018.
Not only. The ultimate goal of the ERC SyG scheme is to allow for a close and genuine collaborative interaction that will enable transformative research at the forefront of science, capable of yielding unpredictable and ground-breaking scientific results and/or cross-fertilizing disciplines, leading to a result that is more than just the sum of Principal Investigators (PIs)' individual contributions.
More information about the ERC-2018-SYG Grant Call is available in the ERC Work Programme 2018.
Yes, for Synergy Grants (SyG), all Principal Investigators (PIs) whose proposal has been retained after step 2 will be invited to an interview in Brussels (in the third evaluation step).
Similarly to other ERC frontier calls, a Principal Investigator (PI) may submit proposals to different ERC frontier research calls published under the same Work Programme, but only the first eligible proposal will be evaluated. Ineligible or withdrawn proposals do not count against this limit (ERC Work Programme 2018, page 19).
Thus, if a PI applies to the ERC 2018 SyG call and the proposal is eligible and evaluated, their other application to a StG, CoG or AdG call under the ERC Work Programme 2018, will not be evaluated.
The year in the ERC call ID refers to the relevant ERC Work Programme year. For example, the call ERC-2018-SyG belongs to the ERC Work Programme 2018.
The ERC AdG 2018 call will not be evaluated if the PI had already applied to the ERC 2018 SyG call and the proposal was considered eligible, even if the call deadlines are in two different calendar years (in 2017 for SyG 2018 call and in 2018 for the AdG 2018 call).
However, it is possible to apply both to the ERC AdG 2017 call and to the ERC 2018 SyG call.
Although ERC grants are open to researchers from any country in the world, all researchers who apply as Principal Investigators (PIs) have to undertake their ERC-funded research in an EU Member State or H2020 Associated Countries. Specifically, each PI has to spend at least 50% of the full equivalent time in an EU Member State or Associated Country and to devote at least 30% of their total working time to the ERC-funded project. For more information, please refer to the Information for Applicants to the Synergy Grant 2018 Call.

Patriotic pensioners in South Tyneside served up a birthday bash fit for a Queen – and helped the borough play its part in a nationwide celebration.
Residents at sheltered housing and care homes across the borough stirred up support for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on her milestone 90th birthday by hosting of a series of tea party events.
Staff at Garden Hill Care Home, Bulmer House sheltered home and Patrick Cain House, all in South Shields, got out their finest china to set the table for a day of 'royal-tea'-themed fun.
Staff and residents at Garden Hill Care Home, in St Michael's Avenue, went the extra mile to honour a national figure with a 'very special place' in their hearts.
Residents worked tirelessly to create patriotic decorations, while families and staff members donated vintage cake-stands and tea-sets before catering staff provided a memorable menu of British treats.
Care Home manager Lindsay Donoghue-Flockhart said: "The Queen has a very special place in the heart's of many of our residents at Garden Hill so it was important to us that we paid tribute to her on her 90th birthday.
The Queen has a very special place in the heart's of many of our residents.Lindsay Donoghue-Flockhart, Garden Hill Care Home manager
"It's been a whole-home effort to put together our birthday party.
"Residents created patriotic-themed decorations for our coffee shop, staff and families joined us at the party with some even kindly donating vintage cake stands and tea-sets and our chef and kitchen team outdone themselves with the amazing selection of traditional British tea party foods, cakes and refreshments.
"It was a wonderful and memorable day for all involved."
The Queen started her big day in style as crowds lined the streets in Windsor as she took part in a walkabout, while royal gun salutes have been fired from each of the UK's capital cities.
Most of the gun salutes were comprised of 21 shots – the standard royal gun salute – at locations including Hillsborough Castle, Cardiff Castle, and Edinburgh Castle.
In London, the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery staged a 41-gun salute at midday in Hyde Park, while the Honourable Artillery Company fired a 62-gun salute across the Thames from the Tower of London.
The Prince of Wales also got in on the act by recording a special radio broadcast to mark his mother's birthday, in which he read an edited passage from William Shakespeare's Henry VIII.
No birthday is complete without a cake and the long-serving monarch was presented with an impressive orange drizzle cake with a butter cream and marmalade filling at the Guildhall by Great British Bake Off champion Nadiya Hussain.
Her Majesty also unveiled a plaque marking the Queen's Walkway – a four-mile trail that links 63 significant points in Windsor – before lighting symbolic beacons in the town.
Queen Elizabeth II is Britain's longest-serving monarch, having worn the crown since February 6 1952.
Prime Minister David Cameron said in a glowing tribute; "As the sands of culture shift and the tides of politics ebb and flow, Her Majesty has been steadfast – a rock of strength for our nation."
Since she came to power, The Queen has seen an England World Cup win, witnessed man taking its first steps on the moon and watched a host of Prime Ministers pass through the doors of 10 Downing Street.
Celebrations to toast her 90th birthday will continue in the coming months, including a national service of thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral on June 10 and a street party for 10,000 strong in the Mall, in St James' Park, two days later.

Frenzied last-minute shopping for the traditional holiday tree could find you settling for one that is less than desirable.
Everyone naturally wants the freshest, best-shaped tree for the focal point of holiday festivities, but it is a mistaken notion you will get a fresher one by delaying its purchase until just before the big day arrives. The trees most likely were cut weeks ago to meet hauling schedules to the point of purchase.

Steering our Collective Curiosities
by Gretchen Mead, Executive Director
As the story goes, Sir Isaac Newton was resting under an apple tree when an apple fell square on his noggin, triggering one of the most brilliant lines of questioning in human history, leading to the discovery of gravity. Newton's restful observation led to curiosity. And curiosity led to discovery.
Observation has a way of doing that – triggering our curiosities.
Last week I was on a spring break stay-cation with my kids. It was soothing to settle in with them, observe their interactions, intentionally foster downtime free from lists, technology, expectations, a schedule. The process of settling in was interesting: The first day they were irritated and bored. For a brief moment I thought, "We have to plan something for these kids to do so spring stay-cation is not a total bomb! Bust out the bouncy houses and movie theaters ASAP!" Luckily, early morning on day two, before anyone else was awake, I went for a walk.
Being the gardener that I am, I love spring deeply. But this year, the busyness and task list of everyday life along with larger world dynamics has left me with a dismal feeling about the rush of spring. Something is not right. I sit at my computer screen with my eyeballs wide and trancelike, flooding my brain with brief, harsh stories—political strife, mass displacement of our fellow humans, unrest, war, poverty, climate disruption—all wearing on my spirit. My internal voice is unquiet, my mind busy with chatter, filled up to the top with more and more information to process. The moment that I stop the continuous stream of input, I feel an uncomfortable stirring. What is this sensation?

Ketoslim Review – Want an ideal body? Would you like to be slim but you find it hard to diet and exercise? These are the usual problem of most people. Many of us are getting bigger and bigger than what is expected of us.
There are many obese individuals around the world nowadays. We could blame these to the growing population of fast food chains all-over the world. These could be the culprit why most young and old people are lazy to prepare their foods at home.
Added to that is their busy schedule. People nowadays are so engaged with their work. These keep them occupied most of the days which find it hard to prepare real food at home.
Click Here To Get Your Ketoslim Risk Free Trial
The presence of the fast food chains around is a big help to these busy individuals. No need to prepare food at home, all you need to hop in into these food chains and you will have your instant breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The only downside of this kind of diet is obesity. Fastfood chains are loaded with msgs and salt with lots of sweets. What do you expect from this kind of diet? Do you expect yourself to be thin and slim if you get to eat burgers and fries daily?
The laziness of people nowadays are the ones that keep them obese and prone to many kinds of health hazards. Younger and younger generations are getting prone to getting diabetes and heart disease. Younger people are being afflicted with hypertension.
Blame all these to the kind of lifestyle that people nowadays are having. Many are stuck in their computers all day long. They no longer exercise. Sitting at work all day is not good for our health.
We all know that healthy diet and exercise are needed by our body to be strong and healthy. Obesity is a sign of a bigger problem. If most of your organs are covered with layers of fat, these are not a good sign at all.\
These will be the beginning of the onset of type 2 diabetes. Hypertension will also be on the way. Therefore, it is killing more and more people. The longer we become hooked with eating fried and oily foods in the fast food the more we become prone to other health diseases.
Most of us would like to lose weight but we do not want the idea of giving up on our favorite food. There is no easy way to success than hard work. We all need to sacrifice something in order to achieve what we wanted.
Diet and exercise are the only proven way to succeed in slimming down. Without one or the other, we fail. Dieting doesn't mean we have to skip a meal, it only means that we need to choose the food that we eat.
It is not even starving ourselves to death to slim down. That is not healthy either. We do not to be hungry to slim down. We just need to eat the right food in the right proportion at the right time. Seems easy but others find it difficult because they do not like the food that trims them down.
With this kind of idea, fewer people are able to bring their weight down. Some would leave the idea to diet pills. They think that taking diet pill would take their weight down without changing their diet at all.
There seem to be many wrong notions about dieting that we need to correct. We would like to introduce to you the all new Ketoslim with 100% forskolin extract.

When 59% of millennials from Christian homes are leaving church, that is a good indicator that something has gone wrong! As a Christian summer camp, we are included among the guilty parties. Like it or not, we can't blame this shift away from church on Donald Trump or Barack Obama. We can't blame it on "culture," or immoral T.V. shows, or the "media." When things swing drastically in the wrong direction, the solution cannot be found in blaming others. The solution only happens when we look at our own shortcomings and then adjust to make things better.
This summer camp exists so people can experience the unconditional love of Jesus, and as we look at our own weaknesses and adjust to serve people better, we love to hear what can be improved. Sam Eaton from "Faith It" offers some interesting opinions and suggestions about what might have gone wrong and what could be done to make it right.
Here is a few things we will do in 2017 to grow and adjust:
- Training our staff to connect: Sam says, "Create and train a team of CONNECT people whose purpose is to seek out the outliers... during... events. Explicitly teach people these skills as they do not come naturally to most of the population."
- Eliminating the "Sermon" from Chapel time in favor of interactive learning and relational moments: Sam says, "Preaching just doesn't reach our generation like our parents and grandparents. See: millennial church attendance. We have millions of podcasts and Youtube videos of pastors the world over at our fingertips. For that reason, the currency of good preaching is at its lowest value in history. Millennials crave relationship, to have someone walking beside them through the muck. We are the generation with the highest ever percentage of fatherless homes. We're looking for mentors who are authentically invested in our lives and our future."
- Moving time and dollars to serve the community... with no strings attached: Sam says, "It's time to focus on changing the public perception of the church within the community. The neighbors, the city and the people around our church buildings should be audibly thankful the congregation is part of their neighborhood."
We are excited to see you at camp this summer. We know we aren't perfect, but we hope more than anything that, even as we make mistakes, you will experience Jesus here.

De Rijksuniversiteit Groningen wordt jaarlijks steeds internationaler. Om de internationalisering the ondersteunen is de MARUG in de afgelopen jaren veranderd in een internationale studievereniging. Het is voor internationale studenten een grote stap om het thuisland te verlaten en naar Nederland te verhuizen. De cultuur, de universiteit en de mensen kunnen erg verschillen van het land waar je vandaan komt. De MARUG probeert internationale studenten hierbij te helpen en te begeleiden in de integratie met de Nederlandse cultuur en met Groningen!
Vele internationale studenten zijn niet bekend met studieverenigingen, de toegevoegde waarde hiervan en de evenementen, daarom hebben wij twee International Ambassadors aangesteld. De International Ambassadors zijn actieve leden van de MARUG, waardoor zij in staat zijn om internationale studenten alles te vertellen over onze vereniging. Ze zullen de nadruk leggen op de toegevoegde waarde van het lidmaatschap bij de MARUG, evenals het bijwonen van evenementen en deelnemen aan commissies. Wij geloven dat internationale studenten zich kunnen ontwikkelen op zowel professioneel als zoals vlak, net als Nederlandse studenten.
Onze International Ambassadors zijn altijd bereid om je advies te geven over je studie, Groningen en natuurlijk de MARUG. Bekijk de video hieronder om de MARUG ervaringen van onze huidige International Ambassadors, Johann en Louise, te zien.
Buiten dat ze in het filmpje te zien zijn, stellen onze International Ambassadors zich hieronder nog even kort voor en vertellen ze meer over het zijn van een International Ambassador binnen de MARUG:
Hi everybody,
As the international ambassadors of the MARUG, we felt like a small introduction was in order, where we'll give you an idea of who we are, what we do and how it feels like to be an active member at the MARUG. So let's start with whom we are. First up we have Johann, 26 years old and from beautiful Hamburg, Germany, and then Louise, 24 years old from Gothenburg, Sweden. Together we are the international ambassadors at the MARUG, whose task it is to represent the MARUG towards the international students in Groningen.
Johann's Groningen adventure began in September 2016 with starting the Pre-MSc Marketing. He quickly noticed the huge amount of study associations and that it is very common to be active and involved next to your studies. As the MARUG is the only one who is really focusing on marketing, he chose to apply for one of the committees, which is open to international students. After a short application process, he had the honour to organize the Commercial Night 2017 together with the two dutchies Jeroen and Joost and Pizza-specialist Nicolo from Italy. It´s a great opportunity and experience to watch and learn how a small idea at the beginning evolves throughout the time to an amazing event, which enables other students from different study fields to get a look outside the research-based university and behind the scenes of interesting companies acting in the world of marketing. Furthermore, it is a great chance to get some variety in your study life!
Louise's Groningen journey started in February 2016, when she began the double track Master Marketing. Like Johann, she also wanted to get involved in a committee and association that welcome international students, and combine that with an interst in marketing, and the MARUG became the obvious choice! During the spring semester 2017, she has been the chair(wo)man of the Master Marketing Team, working with organizing events and socials for Master Marketing students together with the dutchies Sterre, Nick and Dion. Joining a committee which is organizing several events is a good opportunity to constantly develop and improve, and it is interesting to see how the work within the group becomes more efficient the more work you do. It also gives you experience, involves you in the Dutch student life, and it is great for your resume.
But being an active member at the MARUG doesn't only mean that you have to spend time organizing stuff – it's much more than that! As an active member you get to know so many Dutch as well as international students, who all have one thing in common – the interest in marketing. This little aspect also makes it very easy to get in contact with other members, whilst the numerous MARUG events allow you to have a great time with each other! Whether you listen to experienced Marketing directors during the MARUG conference, shine as the greatest marketing talent of Groningen during the Battle of Marketeers or enjoy one, two or eight beers at the monthly social – we promise, you won't get bored!
As the international ambassadors, we try to bring exactly this idea of being active at the MARUG closer to, not exclusively, but especially the international students. As already mentioned, being involved and active next to your studies is very usual in Groningen – and there is a reason for it. Our task in this case is to communicate and inform students of those reasons and accompanied benefits. On the one hand we do this through content, which is mostly shared through social media and on the other hand, by offering a contact point for everybody who is interested and/or has a question.
If you already thought about getting involved next to your studies and becoming active, this is the point of time where you should go to www.marug.nl and check out your possibilities! Furthermore, if you have any questions you can always contact us via the MARUG board.
Best and see you at the MARUG!

Application Process
The Henry Ford Ophthalmology Program offers five positions per year. Applications are accepted only through the Central Application System (CAS) and positions are filled through the San Francisco Matching Program. All applications are carefully reviewed, and interviews are awarded to the most qualified candidates.
Eligible applicants:
- Students or graduates of LCME or AOA accredited medical schools in the US and Canada.
- Students or graduates from outside the US and Canada who hold a currently valid ECFMG certificate.
- All applicants must provide USMLE Step I or COMLEX results in order to be considered for an interview.
Note about the PGY-1 year:
The ophthalmology residency must be preceded by a PGY1 year of general medical training. We strongly urge our residents to perform a transitional year at Henry Ford Hospital. The Henry Ford Transitional Year Program is an excellent program and also allows our residents to "plug into" our system, rotate in ophthalmology, and accomplish various ophthalmology training requirements before starting the residency.
Application deadline: September 30, 2015
The selection process:
The Residency Selection Committee is comprised of residents, program director, and associate program director, chief resident for education, chief resident for clinical care, chair, and interested faculty. This group reviews completed applications and also interviews, discusses, and ranks the applicants.
Answers to commonly asked questions about interviews:
- What are your interview dates? We interview on Mondays and Fridays to facilitate applicant travel. Our interview dates for 2015 are: November 2, 9, 20 and December 7.
- Do you have minimum score requirements? USMLE scores in the nineties are highly preferred.
- Do you accept Comlex scores? Osteopathic applicants may submit COMLEX scores but USMLE scores are recommended for consideration of an interview.
- Do you have a graduation date cut off? Although there is no "date of graduation" cut-off, lapses in clinical training/clinical practice may be cause for concern.
- Do you accept international graduates? We have accepted and do consider international graduates into our program; however, our department sponsors only J-1 visas. International graduates must have a valid ECFMG certificate uploaded to the CAS by December 31st of the interview year.
- Does your program include the clinical base (transitional/preliminary medicine) year? Our program offers three years of training in Ophthalmology. Candidates will also need to match with and successfully complete an ACGME-accredited transitional or preliminary medicine year prior to commencing ophthalmology training. Henry Ford Hospital does offer an excellent Transitional Year Program. Applications for the HFH Transitional Program are accepted through the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP). Applicants who match with our program are strongly encouraged to complete their transitional year at our institution, which makes for a much easier transition into Ophthalmology training.

[webinar] Great Leaders Inspire Action
Title: Great Leaders Inspire Action
Presenters: David and Cathy Jensen
Facilitator: Dr. Joseph Peck and the Holy Spirit
Panelists: Dr. Gordon Bradshaw, Dr. Bruce Cook, Apostle Mark Henderson, Alex McCaskill, Lauri Elliott
Date: Tuesday, July 10, 2012
Duration: 90 minutes
CLICK HERE to watch the video replay.
RIGHT CLICK HERE to download the MP3 audio replay.
All the great and inspiring leaders and organizations in the world think, act, and communicate in the exact same way. Simon Sinek calls it The Golden Circle – Why – How – What. The WHY is what matters most!
I believe the vision that has been downloaded to David and Cathy Jensen for the Global Apostolic Prayer Network (GAPN) will revolutionize prayer and prayer movements around the world.
And it will impact all seven mountains that shape culture.
The GAPN will dramatically affect who prays, how they pray, and the impact of those prayers around the world.
This is the most exciting prayer movement to establish spiritual air supremacy I have ever seen.
And now you are invited to come hear the story behind the story.
Joining David and Cathy on this webinar will be a distinguished panel of leaders, including Dr. Gordon Bradshaw, Dr. Bruce Cook, Apostle Pastor Mark Henderson, Alex McCaskill, and Jeff and Dawn Clark.
The vision is to establish a 24/7 Global Apostolic Prayer Network. It is to be a network of networks, spanning the globe, connected through the Spirit with specific communications via music, Internet and mobile devices. It is to operate as a global shield covering and furthering God's work across the globe, to restore Apostolic and Prophetic, Five-fold ministry, as well as deter the enemy's attacks. This will ultimately allow restoration of the planet, as well as prepare the Bride of Christ for His return.
This network is to establish spiritual air supremacy. Air Supremacy is defined by NATO as "that degree of air superiority wherein the opposing air force is incapable of effective interference." To accomplish this spiritual air supremacy, three key elements are required and without them the network will unravel. They are:
1. The Apostolic and Prophetic Five-fold ministry, connected to
2. Orphans praying and
3. Daily encouragement from the Apostolic to the orphans and others.
CLICK HERE to make a donation to the GAPN!
Blessings to be part of this amazing prayer movement!

I have a Question, Two days ago I started feeling restless and anxious. I was really, really tired but couldn't bring myself to settle down to go to sleep. I finally went and layed down around 10pm and WHAM, a panic attack overwhelmed me. I couldn't seem to bring myself out of it. I felt like my head was buzzing. I finally settled down and went to sleep only to be woken up again with an overwhelming panic attack. this time I was completely fearful and freaking out, fast heart, shakes, sweats, light headed, buzzing. I went to work the next morning feeling completely drained. My partner later told me that night that there was a 1.9 earthquake 4km away from us.I'm sensitive to the "emotions" and vibes of places and areas. Is it possible to sense an earthquake without feeling it's rumbles?

Not many earthquakes in Australia to compare. I certainly feel the collective terror, fear and sadness around certain events though.Full moons make me smile. Full moons flood me with energy too. its Usually nervous, I need to get out and do something kind of feeling.I can feel the change when an electrical storm is coming...a nervous energy building, and then the calm it brings after...almost like it washes me clean.Living in urban areas messes with me alot. I find my refuge in the untouched parts of the hinterland and floating in the energising ocean. No noise inside, a chance for clarity.
I had crystals with me at the time. Black tourmaline, amethyst and blue goldstone
Yeah I've been facing a pretty raw time. Super sensitive time. Glad it's almost over...calm the storm.

I can definitely relate to what you are experiencing, with the collective global emotions around the earthquakes, the full moons and especially the electrical storms!!!!
I start getting very anxious, queasy, ungrounded, and my hands and feet are like hyperactive with heat and energy, along with heart chakra! Once the storm happens and passes, it is like being cleansed, isn't it? IF only we could have that cleansed feeling without the build-up I have noticed that holding selenite, while you are experiencing the height of all of the pre-storm angst, seems to help get rid of/transmute some of it!

The Centre for International Affairs offers assistance to find accommodation for exchange students, placing them in residence halls and private accommodations. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that you will be placed in a room because the TUM, unlike many other universities, does not have its own residence halls.
For this reason, it is very important that you apply to the Housing Office as soon as possible. If you are fortunate enough to be assigned a place in a residence hall, your contract will be limited to one year and cannot be renewed or extended.
Contacting other institutions which provide housing assistance is worthwhile because they generally have a wide range of private rooms at their disposal. For information on these institutions/organizations, click here.

Working at a part time job while attending college in Fort Collins is for many people the only way they can further their education. However, it is important to ensure that working and studying simultaneously does not become overly stressful. Following are some ways in which a college student can maintain the balance needed to further his or her education without running short on cash.
Choose a Part-Time Job with Care
It's important to choose a part-time job with care. Avoid employers that regularly change their schedules and may require a person to show up for work at a different time or day than originally planned.
Start small. While a few hours a week may not seem to make a big difference, it all adds up. Remember, taking on too much work can make it impossible to keep up with study courses and can lead to failing courses and having to leave college.
Perhaps the best option for many college students is to either work on campus (no danger of conflicting work-class schedules) or to work online. Internet jobs include filling out surveys, doing freelance website design, content writing and transcription. These jobs can be taken on whenever one has a spare moment.
Plan Wisely
Invest in a planner (or planner app for a smartphone) and use it. A good planner will enable a student to balance his or her work and class schedule without missing anything. It will also provide a person with a record of how his or her time is being used.
It is also important to plan for some "down" time. Spending time with friends or simply getting some extra sleep will enable a busy college student to stay healthy and happy.
There are many advantages to holding down a part-time job while in college. Part-time work can be used to boost one's resume, especially if it is related to one's field of study. It can provide valuable experience that can help a person make good career choices. Even so, it is important to keep part-time work in its proper place, as it should not take priority over one's studies. Choosing a job with care and using a planner can help a student get everything done and still have time for study and relaxation.

By Dominic Ponsford
Journalists in Wrexham played the role of peacemakers after violent clashes between locals and refugees on a housing estate.
In a bid to calm tensions after two days of violence on the Caia Park Estate, the Evening Leader rushed out more than 2,000 posters in the area. They carried an aerial picture of the estate and the slogan: "We're Proud of the Park… Are You?" The poster was also published on page three of the paper.
Trouble on the normally peaceful estate centred around tensions between 40 Iraqi Kurd asylum seekers and the local population and happened over a Sunday and a Monday night. The Leader put its posters out the following Friday.
News editor Joanna Shone said: "It was very hard to find words that wouldn't encourage people to chuck bricks through the house that put it up – it had to be something positive.
"Obviously we are not saying that it stopped any rioting, but there wasn't any rioting the following weekend – largely due to the way the police handled it.
"It was about restoring the spirit of the area, which never died really – it was just dented."
The poster was designed, printed and distributed in less than 12 hours.
Editor Richard Williams said: "It was a spur-of-the-moment idea. This is a sensitive matter and we wanted to help our readers to distance themselves from the trouble without being too confrontational.
"There has been a huge take-up of the posters and locals are using it as a platform to declare their local pride and the fact that they do not support any of the trouble that we have seen."
The poster campaign has won praise from community leaders and local police, who requested a batch to distribute themselves.
Wrexham MP Ian Lucas said: "I think these posters are an excellent idea. It is time the ordinary, decent people on the estate have their say. This is a great way for them to do it."
Police Chief Superintendent Steve Curtis said: "I think this is a tremendous initiative which will have the support of the local community."
The troubles, which saw more than 70 people arrested, have now ended and so far there has been no repeat.
