A Chronicle of the New England Renaissance Conference, part 4
by Christopher Carlsmith, Meghan Chapman, and Derek Winslow
Rev. 8/22/13
[return to part 3: 1970-1989]
To mark the beginning of a new decade, and to focus on historiographical changes in Renaissance Studies, the 1990 NERC chose the theme "Re-Framing the Renaissance." Organized by Joel Upton and Nicola Courtright at Amherst College on the first weekend in November, the conference opened with plenary speaker David Freedberg (Columbia) on "The Jewish Races of Rome." A subsequent session included papers by Ronnie Po-Chia Hsia (NYU) on Anti-Semitism in Trent in 1475, and Robert Cottrell (Ohio State) on "Female Subjectivity and Libidinal Infractions in Hèlisenne de Crenne's Angoysses doloureuses qui procèdent d'amours." Two subsequent sessions on Saturday featured equally disparate and erudite panels, including papers by Edward Taylor (Columbia) and David Wilbern (SUNY Buffalo) on the theme of passion in the Renaissance, and by William Kerrigan (UMass Amherst) on "The Renaissance Mechanism," as well as contributions from Dieter Wuttke (Otto-Friedrich University of Bamberg) on German humanist perspectives in the late 15th century, and Katharine Park (Wellesley) on autopsy and dissection before Vesalius. The final plenary talk, "Donatello, Cosimo and the Cosmos in San Lorenzo, Florence" was given by Irving Lavin, with discussion led by NERC President Samuel Edgerton.
Yale University hosted NERC in 1991 with a professionally-produced program and a formidable list of speakers. Held at the Whitney Humanities Center with a concurrent exhibition of 16th century Italian woodcuts and engravings at the Yale Art Gallery, the opening session featured Walter Cohen (Cornell) on "The Discourse of Empire," James Saslow (Queens College, CUNY) on the homosexual tradition in Renaissance historiography, and Maureen Quilligan (Penn) on "Catherine de Medici and Elizabeth I: The Space of Female Performance." An evening lecture by Eugene Rice about the criminalization of sodomy from 1350 to 1700 followed a wine reception and banquet. Saturday morning opened with David Quint's reconsideration of Montaigne's Des cannibales and the observations of Elizabeth Cropper (Johns Hopkins) on Pontormo's depiction of the "Halberdier". Following an extended break over lunch, the final session included James Holstun (SUNY Buffalo) on John Felton and his allies, and Lawrence Stone (Princeton) on "The Rise and Fall of the Oxbridge Tutorial System, 1530-1750".
In 1992 NERC traveled to Durham, NH for an early October weekend at the Center for the Humanities of the University of New Hampshire. Arriving scholars were greeted by the Woodman Consort playing music from the court of Lorenzo de'Medici. The initial session consisted of a literary talk by Roland Greene (Harvard) on "The International Wyatt, the Imperial Sidney" and a historiographical talk by Anne van Buren (Tufts emerita) on the changing view of History in fifteenth-century France. Katharine Park (Wellesley) gave an evening lecture on Renaissance science and the "culture of the marvelous", followed by the Hampshire Consort which offered a program entitled "Music in the Age of Exploration," featuring period instruments such as the cornetto, the sackbutt (= modern trombone), the trumpet, the recorder, the krummhorn, the flute, and the shawm (= modern oboe). Saturday morning was brief, with just two talks: Marcia Hall (Temple) on Florentine Art in 1492, and Guido Ruggiero (UConn) speaking about "The Abbot's Concubine: Illicit Sex and Microstrategies of Power at the End of the Renaissance".
Brandeis University hosted the next year's program, exactly thirty years after David Berkowitz had brought NERC to Waltham, MA for the first time (and it would be exactly thirty years more before Jonathan Unglaub brought NERC back to Brandeis in Fall 2013). The 1993 conference. Organized by Jessie Ann Owens of the Brandeis Music Department, bore the theme of "Power and Illusion in the Renaissance City". It followed the traditional pattern of a pair of talks on Friday afternoon and another set of papers on Saturday morning, with a banquet and a chamber music concert on Friday night performed jointly by Capella Alamire and (again) the Hampshire Consort. Session I was comprised of Lawrence Manley (Yale) on "Sites and Rites: Ceremonies of Renaissance London" as well as Keith Polk (UNH) on the identity, payment, and reception of those who made music in 16th century Germany. On Saturday morning John Paoletti chaired a session on Urban Space, including papers on the social topography of fourteenth-century Florence by Paula Spilner (Independent Scholar), on Florentine sculptor Nanni di Banco by Mary Bergstein (RISD), and on "Michelangelo and Images of Rome" by Charles Burrough (SUNY Binghamton).
No conference was held in 1994.
Although Vassar College is in upstate New York and thus technically outside the region of the New England, it hosted the NERC on 3-4 November 1995. (A debate had ensued some years earlier amongst the leadership of NERC about whether the conference should be held at Cornell; ultimately it was decided not to go there.) Benjamin Kohl and Nick Adams chose the theme of "The Material City in the Italian Renaissance". The program was more robust than in previous years, with a total of twelve papers, all on Italian topics. Such a narrow geographical focus violated NERC's self-professed policy of diversity of topics, but clearly reflected the interests of the conference organizers and attendees. David Friedman (MIT, Juergen Schulz (Brown), and Melissa Bullard (UNC Chapel Hill) opened the program with papers emphasizing "The City" in Northern Italy, especially Florence. That Florentine emphasis continued in Session Two on "The Palace" with Brenda Preyer (UT Austin) describing how visitors were accommodated in Florentine palaces, while Alison Smith (Wagner College) explored inventories and family archives in Verona. On Saturday morning the focus turned to books, with papers by Paul Gehl (Newberry Library), John Ahern (Vassar), and Lilian Armstrong (Wellesley). The final session deliberately moved away from elites and toward those on the margins of society; it comprised a talk by Dennis Romano (Syracuse) on the material concerns of domestic servants in Venice, and another by Elizabeth Cohen about prostitutes and cultural history.
No conference was held in 1996.
After a one-year hiatus, the conference came to Boston College two years in a row. In 1997 a one-day conference (the first in NERC's history) was organized by Virginia Reinburg on the broad interdisciplinary theme of "Prayer: Situation, Representation, Enactment." The opening session was about prayer in specific places, including the contributions of Jodi Bilinkoff (UNC Greensboro) on priests and penitents across Catholic Europe, of Mary-Ann Winkelmes (Harvard) on meditation and representation at San Maurizio in Milan, and of David Coleman (Univ. of Minnesota Duluth) on public prayer in Granada in the 16th century. A successive session examined the representation of prayer in text and image; Roger Wieck (Pierpont Morgan Library) interpreted portraits in Books of Hours, while Elizabeth Rhodes (Boston College) discussed the gender of prayer in Teresa of Avila's 'Book'. The third and longest session included four papers: Robert Kendrick (Harvard) spoke on the amusing topic "A Courtesan's Musical Prayer, or, Was Barbara Strozzi Putting Us On in 1656?" Joanna Ziegler (Holy Cross) kept the focus on women's spiritual activity with a paper entitled "Ecstasy and Experience: The Mystical Dance of Elisabeth of Spalbeek". Thomas Cohen (York) spoke more generally about prayer to one's fellow man or woman in sixteenth-century Italy, and Brad Gregory (Stanford) explicated his research on "Prison Prayers: Preparation for Martyrdom and Communities of Belief". Final remarks were offered by Clarissa Atkinson and Robert Scribner, both of the Harvard Divinity School.
No conference was held in 1998.
NERC returned to Boston College on 20 March 1999; the program theme of "Religious Culture in Caravaggio's Italy" was again quite specific both in geographic and disciplinary focus, and was designed to accompany the exhibition at the McMullen Museum of Art entitled "Saints & Sinners: Caravaggio and the Baroque Image." Peter Burke (Cambridge) gave the keynote address first thing in the morning with the title of "Rome as the Center of Information & Communication in the Catholic World." Steven Harris (Wellesley) complemented that introduction with a paper on the circulation of "natural knowledge" among 17th-century Jesuits, while co-organizer Gauvin Alexander Bailey (Clark) also focused upon the relationship between Rome and the world with his subtitle "Artists in the Service of the Overseas Mission, 1540-1600." The afternoon saw back-to-back sessions that continued with the theme of religion in the late Renaissance: "Preaching in Borromean Milan" (Benjamin Westervelt, Lewis & Clark College), "Poetry & the Shroud of Turin" (Sheldon Grossman), and even "Martyrdom and the Seventeenth-Century Motet" by Robert Kendrick (U. Chicago). The final session, chaired by co-organizer Pamela M. Jones, included papers on theatre (Michael Zampelli of Santa Clara University), literature (Fiora Bassanese, UMass Boston), and art history (David Stone, U. Delaware).
The new millennium was marked with a conference at Trinity College in Hartford, CT. on 7 October 2000. The explicitly interdisciplinary theme of "Emotion and Creativity in the Renaissance" was selected by Sandra Andrews. Two sessions were bundled into the morning, beginning with James Amelang's overview of "Early Modern Emotion", followed by Philip Fisher's remarks on "Vehemence and Action" and Bette Talvacchia more specific comments on "Responses to Sexual Imagery in a Catholic Culture." The second morning session included Patricia Emison's observations on "Durer's Melancolia and Artistic Creativity, Mikael Hòrnquist's disquisition on Machiavelli, Montaigne, and the Charismatic Text," and Jeffery Persels on "Indiscreet Excretions" in French Renaissance literature. The conference concluded in the early afternoon with a keynote address by John Martin on the broad theme of "identity and Creativity."
"Renaissance Courts" was the theme of the 2001 NERC, sponsored by the Massachusetts Center for Renaissance Studies at UMass Amherst. Organized by Arthur Kinney, who not only selected the participants but cooked the entire lunch by himself, this conference followed a slightly different structure: five papers, each with its own chair to provide a comment and moderate questions. The conference began with Frederick McGinnis (from Mt. Holyoke and Smith Colleges) on "Preaching and Propaganda at Wittenberg, Geneva, and the Papal Court." Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann (Princeton) followed on Arcimboldo and the origins of still life painting, and then Richard McCoy (CUNY) on examples of sacred kingship at Court. In the afternoon Robert Schneider (Catholic University) spoke about "Court Culture without a court in 17th-c. France" and Alastair Bellany (Rutgers) on "poison and poisoners in Early Stuart England." The conclusion of the conference was a concert of 17th-century English and Viennese court music from the Five College Early Music Program.
On Oct. 19, NERC returned to its roots at Brown University for a program focused on intellectual history, with the theme "Teaching, Learning, and the Transmission of Knowledge." Morning remarks were offered by Gail Cohee (Brown) on Mary Tudor, by Peter Stallybrass (Penn) on erasable tablets, and by Patricia Reilly (Swarthmore) on the "grammar of the human form" in Alessandro Allori's Ragionamenti. In the afternoon Massimo Riva and R. Burr Litchfield (both of Brown) described two early efforts at creating online resources for Renaissance Studies, including the Decameron Web, the Pico Project, and the Florentine Catasto. Ann Blair (Harvard) previewed her new research on "information overload" and how early modern people responded to it; Bonnie Gordon (SUNY Stony Brook) spoke about "Vocal Disciplines", followed by a vocal concert of the music of Monteverdi from the Schola Cantorum of Boston.
Gregory Semenza of the University of Connecticut organized the next year's conference at his home institution, under the theme of "Cognitive Sciences and the Renaissance," but no conference program is extant.
No conference was held in 2004.
Holy Cross welcomed the conference for the first time in the spring of 2005, led by Thomas Worcester (Holy Cross) and Franco Mormando (Boston College) with an exciting theme of "Piety and Plague in Renaissance and Early Modern Europe." A companion exhibition and catalog, "Hope and Healing: Painting in Italy in a time of Plague, 1500-1800" provided stunning visual images to accompany the scholarly papers presented. Those included five papers in a long morning session, beginning with the Black Death of 1348 in Northern Europe (Pamela Berger of Boston College)) and "Visualizing Death in Medieval Plagues" (Elina Gertsman of U. Chicago), followed by Ronald Rittgers (Yale Divinity School) on the 1562 peste in Nuremberg, Thomas Worcester on the spiritual actions of Etienne Binet, S.J. in the early 17th century, and Franco Mormando on deciphering a 1650 published text about plague in an ancient city. Two art history papers by Nancy Andrews (Holy Cross) and Sheila Barker (Independent Scholar) preceded the keynote speaker, William Eamon (New Mexico State) on "The Canker Friar: Piety and Intrigue in an Era of New Diseases."
NERC President Kenneth Gouwens brought the conference back to his home institution of University of Connecticut in 2006. There was no overt theme, but many of the papers focused upon heterodoxy, subversion, and transgression—proving once again that Renaissance Studies had moved far beyond its traditional focus on high culture or politics. The morning session began with Laurie Shannon (Duke) on "Comparative Anatomies: Galen's Monkeys, Vesalian Man, and Harvey's Heart". Jutta Sperling considered "Queer Locations in Renaissance and Baroque Art", and Christopher Celenza followed with thoughts on "Marsilio Ficino, Human Agency, and the Boundaries of Orthodoxy." The afternoon session opened with Tara Nummedal (Brown) discussing her research on Anna Zieglerin and alchemical transgression in Wolfenbüttel court ca. 1571-75. Bette Talvacchia (UConn) offered observations on "Body Fragments: A Disjoined View of Renaissance Art" and Victor Coelho (Boston University) spoke about subversion and non-conformity in Renaissance Music. Valerie Traub (Michigan) gave the keynote address on "Historicizing the Normal", thus providing an intriguing counterpoint to the focus on alterity in the previous two sessions.
Once again Brown hosted in 2007, with Evelyn Lincoln, Tara Nummedal, and Nicolas Wey-Gomez teaming up to plan a day's gathering on "Nature's Disciplines." The CFP provided the rationale for this theme, and called for participants who were "testing the limits of their disciplines as they question[ed] structures of knowledge in the Renaissance and early modern period." [Note: the conference program is at a different website, http://epnc.uconn.edu/nerc/past/2007.%5D Three paired sessions formed the structure of the day. Sean Cocco (Trinity College) kicked things off with "Arduous Terrain From Afar: Pietro Caselli's Investigation of Nature" while Ricardo Padròn (Virginia) continued the theme of mapping nature with his paper "Envisioning Empire: Competing Cartographies in the 18th-Century Hispanic World." A second morning session turned to death and prayer: Elizabeth King (Virginia Commonwealth University) spoke on "Perpetual Devotion: A 16th-Century Machine That Prays" while art historian Frank Fehrenbach (Harvard) described "The Renaissance of Death and the Dead". The last two papers focused on science: Mary Crane (Boston College) on "Analogy, Metaphor, and the New Science" and Brian Ogilvie (UMass Amherst) on "Late Renaissance Natural Theology: Between Natural History and Apologetics." An evening concert, featuring the music of Monteverdi and deWert, was offered by Fred Jordy and the Boston Schola Cantorum, just as they had in 2002.
Nadja Aksamija and Michael Armstrong brought the NERC to Wesleyan with a theme that welcomed armchair scholars as well as those who travel regularly to foreign archives: "Travel, Trade, and Translation in Early Modern Europe." A professionally-printed pamphlet, complete with the program, related images, and information about a concurrent exhibition on Renaissance and Baroque Prints, was mailed to all NERC members and interested scholars. Held on Oct. 10-11, this conference returned to the classic two-day format with a dinner and concert on Friday evening. Friday afternoon featured three papers with an Italianate focus, beginning with a historiographical talk by Francesca Trivellato (Yale) on recent historical work about Renaissance Italy and the Muslim Mediterranean. Musicologist Sean Gallagher (Harvard) used the title "Acquired Tastes" to describe how collectors amassed examples of music and painting in 15th-century Italy. Susanne Wofford (NYU) used literary analysis to decode the topic of "Translating Festivity: Ovid, Bellini, and Shakespeare's Feast with the Gods." The next morning Sarah McHam (Rutgers) described how Pliny was interpreted by Renaissance Readers. Her colleague Henry Turner summarized travel and trade in the work of Richard Hakluyt while Jacques Lezra (NYU) drew upon his skills in comparative literature to discuss the enigmatic topic of "Trade in Exile: The Fetishism of Translation(s) and the Secret Thereof".
Halloween weekend saw Boston University host the NERC on October 30-31, 2009. Harvard historian Ann Blair, recipient of a Macarthur "genius" award in 2002, gave the opening keynote address on theory and practice in Renaissance pedagogy. The theme of the conference, "Value and Judgment in the Renaissance", provided great latitude to the six speakers on Saturday. Robert Proctor (Connecticut College) described "The education of Vitruvius' Architect and Raphael's 'Stanza della Segnatura'", which was complemented by the remarks of Kate Isard (Columbia) on "The Index in the Sixteenth-Century Architectural Book". Caroline Duroselle-Melish (Harvard's Houghton Library) spoke on "Learning and Controlling Print Technologies: The Work of a Renaissance Naturalist." In the afternoon, Andrew Morrall (Bard Graduate Center) talked about "Inscription and Substance in the arts of Early Modern Northern Europe; Thomas Martin (Bard High School Early College) followed on Filarete's Bronzes, and Yuen-Gen Liang summarized his research on how sixteenth-century Spanish administrators evaluated "experience' and 'qualification' in selecting employees in the nascent Spanish empire.
Yale University introduced a new twist to the structure of the New England Renaissance Conference on October 9, 2010 by organizing a two-hour morning roundtable on "History of the Book: Promises and Limits" featuring Tom Conley (Harvard), Alexandra Halasz (Dartmouth), Adrian Johns (Chicago), and Sara Wall-Randell (Wellesley). Conference participants were able to take advantage of tours at two of Yale's most important institutions: the Yale University Art Gallery (with a guided tour of sixteenth-century Italian objects) or the Beinecke Rare Books Library. Following lunch, a panel entitled "The Renaissance Quasi-Object" featured talks by Mario Biagioli (then at Harvard), Adrian Randolph (Dartmouth), and Julian Yates (Univ. of Delaware). The keynote address on "The Pre-Historic Renaissance" was given by Juliet Fleming (NYU).
NERC returned to Wheaton College in November 2011 for the first time since Jane Ruby had assumed the conference presidency several decades earlier. Organizers Touba Ghadessi and Yuen-Gen Liang integrated the conference with their undergraduate teaching by recruiting students to serve as volunteers and even more importantly by organizing an art exhibition for which students did all of the research and writing. The theme of "Families in the Renaissance" encouraged historians, literary scholars, and art historians to tackle related themes. The first panel opened with art historian Cristelle Baskins (Tufts) analyzing Pietro della Valle's Babylonian Love, followed by historian Laurie Nussdorfer (Wesleyan) on "Ecclesiastical Families in Baroque Rome: Manhood in a Male City" and Kentston Bauman (Rhode Island College) on "Aristocratic Endogamy and Social Miscegenation in Thomas Kyd's The Spanish Tragedy. In the afternoon Sara Murphy turned to Britain as the source for her discussion of "Fashioning New Families: Autobiographer Anne, Lady Halkett, and the Redefined Royalist Retreat. Erika Boeckeler (Northeastern) kept the focus on Royal families with her remarks about "Handwriting and the Royal Family", and Sarah Ross (Boston College) also looked at handwriting, albeit in the wills of Venetian physicians. Anthony Grafton was to give the keynote address on the Renaissance printing-house but a medical emergency made it impossible for him to travel.
As part of NERC's conscious effort to reach out to new campuses under Tara Nummedal's leadership, the conference came to University of Massachusetts Lowell for the first time on October 20, 2012. The theme of "Classical Revival and Reception in the Renaissance" returned to a familiar theme and lent itself to a more Italianate focus. The first panel focused on "Classical Authority", including a paper by Heather Horton (Pratt Institute) on "The Afterlife of the Auctor and the Invention of Renaissance Narrative." Francesco Benelli (Columbia) used captivating images of ancient text and Renaissance sketches for his remarks on the annotations of Antonio da Sangallo the Younger in his copy of Vitruvius. Ellen Longsworth (Merrimack College) described the patronage of Carlo Borromeo for the sculptures in the choir of the Church of Santo Sepolcro in Milan. A walking tour of historic Lowell, and another tour of the Whistler Museum of Art, gave participants a flavor of historic downtown Lowell. In the afternoon conference organizer Christopher Carlsmith described the reception of Horace in sixteenth-century Bergamo, while Thomas Hopper (UMass Amherst) focused on one specific Horatian text for his analysis. (Matthew Landrus and Michael Tworek were on the program but unable to participate on the day of the conference). James Hankins gave a commanding keynote address on "Renaissance Views of the Roman Republic" to conclude the evening.
NERC will be held at Brandeis University in November 2013. Organized by art historian Jonathan Unglaub, it will include a keynote address by Leonard Barkan and a consciously interdisciplinary theme of history, music, and art.
NERC will travel to the Durham campus of University of New Hampshire when historian Liz Mellyn organizes the 2014 iteration of NERC.

The variable being the final delivery schedules of the 18,000 - plus units in some phase of construction currently. We would like to see more new construction in the Clear Lake, Seabrook, Kemah and Webster or Friendswood, but most are in the Energy Corridor, Inner Loop, Heights, Montrose and Museum or Art District, and Galleria areas, with a few sprinkled throughout North Houston, Woodlands, etc.!
When asked what are the hottest areas?
We are seeing continued strong rents and occupancy in the Galleria, Memorial City and Energy Corridor areas.

Since the beginning of human history, our ancestral roots and those of the hedgerows have been intimately entangled. Now, often forgotten amongst the hedgerows, the 'wild weeds' still offer amazing medicinal opportunities, delicious sources of food and fascinating legends of our past. Many of the secrets of our history lie hidden in the stories of these plants. Our ancestors, living in harmony with the cycles of nature, knew how to prepare wild food, prepare remedies, make protective talismans and so much more. But we have lost our connection with the magic of nature…
In this fascinating and unique book, richly illustrated, Jo Dunbar shows us what we so often miss in the beauty all around us. We learn here which plants to pick (or avoid!) and how to use them for ourselves. And woven in with this are the ancient stories and folklore of the countryside, firing our imagination and helping us to communicate in a real way with our natural environment.
This book was a FINALIST in the national Wishing Shelf Awards, with a score of 37/40!
"Often funny, always informative, an eye-opener."
"A wonderful book to bring with you on a walk in the countryside... very relaxed writing style..."

In this New Age when so many of us are seeking to understand better our purpose in life, many teachers have come forward professing to know the way. But it is indeed rare to meet one who has lived the spiritual path for their whole life, who knows the other worlds with every fibre of their being and can demonstrate the greatest of spiritual gifts to prove it.
In this book, the Reverend Melanie Hallett describes her extraordinary and challenging experiences of life and, in her uniquely down-to-earth way, tells us what they mean for the human spirit. Her teaching is often unorthodox, but always profound. This is her debut book, as entertaining as it is inspiring.

So if you jumped in here, and want to start at the beginning, please read those posts first. Today we'll be going into the Google Index section, which obviously gives you some insight into how your website is being indexed in Google.
On the 20th of May 2015, Google announced that the name Google Webmaster Tools did not cover the user base of the tool anymore. Only a part of the user base could indeed be called 'webmaster'. For that reason, Google renamed the tool Google Search Console (GSC)
Other posts in this series
Index Status
The Index Status shows you how many URLs of your website have been found and added to Google's index:
This can give you a good idea of how your site is doing in the index. If you see this line dropping, for instance, you'd know there's an issue. Basically any major and unexpected change to this graph should be something you look into.
Actually, the "Advanced" tab gives you just a bit more insight into how all your indexed pages are divided:
As you can see, this shows you how many of your pages are being blocked by your robots.txt as well. And you can also see how many of your pages have been removed from the index, but more on that in the next chapter.
There's something else this graph makes clear. As of March 9th of last year (at the "update" line) Google Search Console shows the data separately for both HTTP and HTTPS websites. This means that if you moved your site from HTTP to HTTPS since then, you'll need to add your site again, using the red "Add a site" button. Then, fill in the entire URL, including the HTTP or HTTPS part:
Interpretation of the Index Status
There's a few things you should always look for when checking out your Index Status:
- Your indexed pages should be a steadily increasing number. This tells you two things: Google can index your site and you keep your site 'alive' by adding content;
- Sudden drops in the graph. This means Google is having trouble accessing (all of) your website. Something is blocking Google out, whether it's robots.txt changes or a server that's down: you need to look into it! This could also have to do with the separate HTTP and HTTPS tracking I mentioned above;
- Sudden (and unexpected) spikes in the graph. This could be an issue with duplicate content (such as both www and non-www, wrong canonicals, etc.), automatically generated pages, or even hacks.
Content Keywords
The Content Keywords area gives you a pretty good idea of what keywords are important for your website. When you click on the Content Keywords menu item, it'll give you a nice list of keywords right away:
These keywords are found on your website by Google. This does not mean you're ranking for these keywords, it just means they're the most relevant keywords for your site according to Google. You can also extend this list to 200 items, so it'll give you a pretty broad idea.
This actually tells us a few things about your site. It shows you what Google thinks is most important for your website. Does this align with your own ideas of what your website's about? For instance, if you find any keywords here that you didn't expect, such as "Viagra" or "payday loan", this could mean that your site has been hacked. And next to that, if you'd expect any keywords that you can't find in this list, there's a few things you can check:
- Your robots.txt might be blocking the page(s) that contain the keyword(s) you're expecting;
- The page containing the keyword might not be old enough yet for Google to have crawled it;
- Google excludes keywords they consider boilerplate or common words from this list. What they'd consider boilerplate or common differs per site.

The Duchess of Cambridge has just taken her work wardrobe next level with a $2950 dress from Gucci.
It seems that even sensible Kate is not immune from the design charms of Gucci's creative director Alessandro Michele, which have won over Michelle Obama, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie.
Kate wore the monochrome tweed dress with a brilliant red trim to London's V&A museum, displaying her trim legs in a skirt that stopped short of the knee in a show of right royal daring.
Usually the Duchess sticks to British luxury labels such as Jenny Packham, Catherine Walker and Alexander McQueen, saving international brands for Royal tours.
The striking dress which picks up on Alessandro's anglophilia, the man did stage a show at Kate's wedding venue Westminster Abbey after all.
Navy LK Bennet pumps added a touch of sense and sensibility with a red clutch completing the look.
Pushing her look further forward, the duchess had her pulled back into a loose knot.
Kate was on hand to open the museum's new Exhibition Road Quarter space designed by leading British architect Amanda Levete.

Americans want to believe that sending people to prison for drug-related crimes are the best opinion for keeping the streets clean for American. However, people going to prison for drug-related crimes doesn't make the country safer. According to a report from the Pew Charitable Trusts, there were less than 5,000 people serving federal prison time for drug-related offenses in 1980. That number is now 95,000 today.
So does this increase mean that law enforcement as improved their methods of finding and arresting criminals who do these offenses? No. It means that the drugs are more accessible and more people are using drugs, thus, more people are getting arrested.
According to the White House's "National Drug Control Strategy" report, drugs are more accessible because the prices for cocaine and crack and meth have dropped since the eighties. Also, it is believed that the traffickers are rarely put in federal custody, about 11% according to Pew, which makes easier for traffickers to get their supplies to the necessary people. Not to mention, crack cocaine and meth are getting easier to make and there are several suppliers.
Making the sentencing longer doesn't stop the problem either. "The average prison sentence for a federal drug offender rose 36 percent between 1980 and 2011, tacking almost 20 additional months onto the average sentence," according to the report on TakePart.com. Yet, people are still getting drug-related convictions on a regular basis.
It's easy to say that we should have better parenting, or increase the price of these drugs, or even find ways to stop using them altogether. The truth is, those are not possible solutions. Parents could give their children all the correct values in the world, those children will do what they want. The prices of drugs are created by the market and demand for such drugs and changes from street to street. To stop using drugs altogether would require an increase in trafficking laws to prevent the drugs from coming to the States.
I believe the solution is actually to legalize drugs and put the money for prisons that house and prosecute drug offenders into drug counseling and recovery programs. If my idea works, this would keep strong men and women in the streets, allowing for these individuals to have jobs and contribute to the community. It would also create more jobs in the social works areas. It would also make it so that only the most violent offenders would go to prison. The non-violent offenders would get the help they need.
However, I do believe the tide is changing in this direction. Colorado and other states have legalized marijuana, which has reduced the drug arrest in that state. I just hope that in my lifetime I could see these changes on the federal level.

Laptop screen goes black, requiring hard reset
Hello, I was hoping maybe somebody could help me with this laptop. The issue I'm having is most of the time when I walk away from it and leave it on, upon returning the screen is just black, the computer is running but there is no response on the keyboard or mouse, which requires a hard shutdown and a restart. It then says it was not shut down properly, I start it up, and it runs fine until the next time I walk away and it does this freeze thing. I also want to note that it does not always do this, sometimes it sleeps like it should, but the problem is increasing in frequency.

No I have had this before its the drivers, the video card is going out, anything? Nobody on this forum has seen a laptop that would keep running but freeze on a black screen after going idle?
Take a guess!
|My System Specs
|05 Nov 2012
Sounds like maybe its hung before totally achieving sleep mode. Then the mouse and keyboard might be inactive until it fully achieves the sleep state so as not to corrupt things.
Maybe run

I had this happen to me 2 yrs ago. After much trial and error (and many hard resets), I figured out to set the display to "Never" turn off and to put the computer to sleep after 1hr. This is both plugged in and on battery. Dont know why it does that, but this combo has worked for me.

Hmm I was going to log back on to thank you STC but apparently the computer freezes even when the display monitor is on. So it freezes on the screen showing whatever I was doing instead. Any more thoughts?

What about your temperatures, are they normal? CPU usage?
|My System Specs
|10 Nov 2012
CPU useage seems to be normal when it's running fine, as to whether or not something happens when it's idling that makes it freeze, I don't know.
I have a suspicion that the freeze issue may be heat related because the computer is warm and I've never owned a laptop before, but I know others who have and it seems like theirs are even warmer sometimes. Thinking about opening it up and seeing if there is dust in there or something. The computer is only about a year old, I know I can't rule out a hardware issue but I wish I could.
And obviously it could be the OS... but on a factory made computer that's only a year old?

Hi Mike,
The Macmillan helpline 0808 808 0000 should be able to point you in the right direction, it's open tomorrow from 9am, they give financial information, and sometimes assistance, as well as pointing you in the direction of local support. The hospital might be able to help too, I know some have relative rooms and my friends husband got to stay with her at my local hospital in a pull out bed as she had a single room after a routine surgery.
I hope that you are able to find something, let us know how you get on.
What is a Community Champion?
Hi Mike, where is the hospital and your home? Happy to help if it's close.
Hi Bramble Bloke, that's a nice offer - but in order to keep our members safe, our community guidelines ask members not to share personal information online. Hopefully Arla's advice about contacting the hospital and also the Macmillan Support Line will be helpful.Kind regards,M.
Thank you so far for the info, will talk too the hospital and see if they have anything.

Info concerning Henderson State University dental assisting jobs, registering for required degree courses, and taking tests for free online. As a nurse, not only can you earn a good salary, but also help people at the same time. Request more information about nationally-accredited nurse training programs. If you study dental assisting, for example, there are a variety of concentrations that may appeal to you such as practical nursing, laboratory internships, or vocational rehabilitation. Check with the dentistry department for an updated schedule of classes, registration deadlines, and a list of dental assisting job requirements. Due to advances in health care, there is a growing skill-shortage of dental assistants, and of qualified medical personnel in general. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Henderson State University.
In dentistry, there are three fast-growing employment fields. Dental assisting jobs may range from providing patient care, to record-keeping and scheduling appointments. Dental lab technicians construct, or repair, dentures and prosthetics. Dental hygienists clean teeth, examine patients for signs of oral diseases such as gingivitis, and apply sealants and fluorides to help protect teeth. They must also learn to take and develop dental x-rays. The median annual wage for dental hygienists was $52,330 in 2015, while dental assistants average $37,500 per year. Dental assisting jobs are projected to grow 19% in the coming decade.
Dental hygienists need an associates degree in dental hygiene. The programs typically take 3 years to complete, and offer laboratory, clinical, and classes in anatomy, physiology, nutrition, radiography, pathology, and periodontics. All states require dental hygienists to be licensed, although requirements vary by state. The Commission on Dental Accreditation, part of the American Dental Association, has accredited more than 300 dental assisting programs.

Invisalign Video Transcription
"Invisalign is one of the most exciting new treatment modalities in dentistry. When choosing a suitable clinician for your Invisalign, there are two factors all our general dentists recommend, and I want you to consider.
Firstly, we at Smile Solutions prefer to have you treated by registered orthodontists who are Dental Board recognised specialists in the field of dental occlusion and alignment. Secondly, we recommend orthodontists, with vast experience in Invisalign as opposed to just conventional braces. At Smile Solutions, we have orthodontists with the highest recognition given by Invisalign Australia, namely Diamond Status, awarded only to Invisalign providers who carry out the most number of Invisalign cases each year. Now let's hear from Dr David Austin about how Invisalign works.
Interviewer: I'm here with David, how are you?
Dr David Austin: I'm well thank you, and you?
Interviewer: Very well thank you. So tell me what is Invisalign and how does it work?
Dr David Austin: Invisalign is virtually the invisible way to straighten your teeth and improve your smile without braces. To prepare for treatment we take virtual impressions of your upper and lower teeth with the state of the art scanner called iTero. This technology replaces those uncomfortable and messy impressions of days gone by. The iTero handheld scanner allows us to capture accurate 3D images of your existing teeth and bite. We can then email these images straight to Invisalign International Headquarters where your clear aligners will be made. Invisalign treatment comprises a series of clear aligners that are individually made for your orthodontic requirements. Invisalign gradually moves your teeth into alignment by changing aligners every 2 to 3 weeks, until your teeth are in the correct position.
Interviewer: and is Invisalign suitable for anyone?
Dr David Austin: Yes, we successfully treat a wide range of problems, including crooked, crowded and spaced teeth. Sometimes even more complex cases such as over bites, under bites and cross bites can even be treated with Invisalign. In rare cases where is Invisalign is not suitable due to the complexity of the bite, patients can explore other options such internal lingual braces and clear braces.
Interviewer: so with Invisalign your teeth are being gradually moved, is it painful then?
Dr David Austin: When you change your aligners every 2 to 3 weeks, the aligners can initially feel a little bit tight, but it's not terribly painful. When patients notice the feeling of pressure they know the treatment is working and the teeth are moving to the right position.
Interviewer: Can Invisalign treat more complex cases?
Dr David Austin: Yes, Invisalign is very suitable for both the treatment of complex and simple orthodontic problems.
Interviewer: It's just such a wonderful option especially for adults, I guess?
Dr David Austin: Indeed. We frequently get patients who ask for Invisalign specifically as a first treatment option.
Interviewer: So it looks like there is actually nothing even on the teeth.
Dr David Austin: Yes, Invisalign is a very aesthetic treatment option and is very difficult to notice. The aligner is very easy to remove from the teeth by pulling from the back towards the front, and around to the back of the other side.
Interviewer: Do you wear them 24 hours a day?
Dr David Austin: Yes, Invisalign aligners should be worn for 24 hours a day and just removed for eating, drinking and cleaning.
Interviewer: and will my speech be affected?
Dr David Austin: Initially as with any orthodontic appliance, the speech may be effected in a minor way, however, after a day or so the speech returns to normal.
Interviewer: and how long overall will I have to wear them?
Dr David Austin: In general we would expect you to wear the aligners for approximately 12 to 16 months. Depending on the case and the complexity, the treatment time can actually be less than conventional fixed appliance braces.
Interviewer: Is Invisalign suitable for all ages?
Dr David Austin: Yes, we even have Invisalign specific for adolescents."

About the book:
As the "Bin Laden door closes", a new door opens! Charlie Pedersen's innovative new visionary fiction uses twenty second century quantum science cosmology to provide linked "hindsight" to the past, which is our present, and follows a cosmic path out of the chaos we now call the twenty first century. Pedersen's disruptive, visionary new novel crosses hard copy, e-Book and silver screen genres as it takes readers into the future and then back again to our own reality to face the chaos and terror of our current World Equation. Experience the convergence of literature and video taking you from compelling story to the next level of awareness and most importantly, answers. In WE x ∞ ,scientists from one hundred years in the future send intelligent e-messages in hologram form across the space-time continuum to thirteen quantum science labs across the world. In a high speed adventure from Berkeley, California, through Switzerland, China, Russia, England, Germany and Japan, culminating in a confrontation with the future in New York City, Pedersen's science heroes engage the CIA and Interpol to thwart white collar criminals and terrorists trying to disrupt new, world changing directives from reaching the United Nations General Assembly. The prominent issues of our times – water, energy, world health, trafficking, terrorism, illegal immigration and militarism – are tackled head on as Pedersen explores two fundamental questions in his compelling story: What do WE have to do for humanity to really change? Can our infinity (∞) of opportunities overcome the current forces of denial and the power of the status quo? Following up on Stephen Hawking's description of our times, on Yahoo!Answers, 2006, as "political, social and environmental chaos", and his more than rhetorical question "How can we sustain the next one hundred years?", WE x ∞ cleverly suggests that if we cannot learn from the past, maybe we could learn from the future. Pedersen's intriguing and suspenseful blend of science, contemporary events and fiction (science faction) gives readers a unique "futuresight" by which to judge today's most daunting challenge: our own denial of the terror of our current world equation.
The Secretary General steps back. Alyson defers to Ellis. ELLIS (walks to the podium and begins speaking) "Thirty days ago we had a world changing event" . . . Ellis looks up...hearing some commotion. Before he can continue, the President and the Prime Minister are collared around the throats by Almidh and Degom's cocked arms, and pulled in front of the room with guns at their heads. The other five waiters step up and point guns at the tables around them. The guests are dead silent, except for shocked gasps. FARAH ALMIDH (with his arm around the President's throat) "I am Almidh of the Khalid Faizal. We are here to reject this sinister plot to subordinate the entire Arab world, to de-economize our people's oil franchise. We will show the world"... From the left and right flanks, everyone hears: CENTURY22 SECURITY TEAM! "Not on our watch!" First it comes from Harry, pointing his revolver at Almidh, and then from Glaser on the other flank, pointing at Degom who's holding the Prime Minister. Then Almidh hears a thunderous thud, thud, thud from two angles. Kay and Hong shed their tear away formals and are literally striding across the tables like gazelles, one table centerpoint to the center point of the next table thud, three, thud, two, thud, one... then,.....

HOP has supported the Himalayan Rescue Association in a number of ways over the years, including installing solar panels and batteries at their outpost in Pheriche, delivering medical supplies to HRA headquarters, and most recently, funding the rebuilding of the medical outpost along the Annapurna circuit in Manang.
The Manang Medical clinic serves over 2,500 people per three-month season, 75% of whom are locals who have traveled to the area to make a living in tourism and have no support systems or medical care to fall back on. HOP is funding the complete rebuilding of the medical building which includes a new lab for the doctors to have more capacity to identify illness. The building is expected to be completed by May 2018.

Why It's Important To Know Who Ricardo Tosto de Oliveira Carvalho Is If You're Doing Business In Brazil
Even if you're a good businessman who's mastered President Trump's deal making capabilities outlined in his book "Art of the Deal," you may not be so well versed in the art of legal issues, especially if you're planning on doing business in Brazil. Brazil is certainly a great country besides the US to do business in, and many large corporations based in the US or other nations also have branches down in Brazil. But any time you move into Brazil, you'd better know who to hire as your legal counsel because Brazil can have tricky corporate laws. But fortunately there are some great attorneys like Ricardo Tosto de Oliveira Carvalho who will be more than happy to represent you.
You might be wondering if you need someone like Ricardo Tosto de Oliveira Carvalho if you already have a corporate lawyer who knows Brazilian law and could travel down with you. While your own attorney may be able to tell you what to do down there, they may not be able to actually represent you in a Brazilian court. Brazil can be hard to understand if you're new to doing business there, and you might find yourself in a situation where a business partnership goes bad, or you need to reach a corporate debt settlement, or you find out that there's more red tape than you think in dealing with investment funds. Having an attorney like Ricardo Tosto de Oliveira Carvalho on your side who knows business law, banking and taxes can ensure that predatory business don't take advantage of you.
Ricardo Tosto de Oliveira Carvalho is the leading lawyer at Leite, Tosto and Barros Advogados. He got his legal training at the Mackenzie Presbyterian University law school and also holds an MBA from the Fundação Armando Álvares Penteado. He is also a former legal advisor and human resources specialist to several Brazilian energy companies, and he even served as a campaign advisor to 2006 presidential candidate Paulo Maluf. Ricardo Tosto de Oliveira Carvalho is also recognized in the Annuário Análise Advocacia 500, Who's Who Legal and many other legal associations. He also is an author of the famous Brazilian legal book "O Processo de Tiradentes." Click here

Markilux 8500
The Markilux 8500 is the awning for conservatories with uneven, bevelled, indented or hipped roofs. Unlike other awnings with guide rails on the edges of the cover, the Markilux 8500 has indented guide rails in the centre allowing for no contact with the edges of the conservatory to allow for creative designs.
The guide rails can overhang the outermost bracket by up to 1m giving more protection from the sun and ensuring your conservatory is fully shaded.
The awning material offers exterior solar shading – this allows the light of the sun to light your conservatory whilst blocking out the uncomfortable heat. It uses tear-resistant belts combined with belt guide rollers to ensure quiet and smooth operation and minimises the level of maintenance required.
Construction & Design:
Practically speaking, the Markilux 8500 offers the same advantage as the Markilux 8000. With its indented guide tracks, it makes fitting the awning to conservatories with bevel-shaped roofs and other non-typical shaped roofs achievable with ease.
A single awning can shade an area of up to 25m². The tracks can be indented up to a maximum of 120cm and the guide tracks can extend 100cm past the last support bracket.
Frame Colours:
|Traffic White
|Metallic Aluminium
|Grey Brown

40% of food not labelled as some companies refuse
The hybrid nutritional food label that we talked about in our Special Report on Food, has just been introduced.
The label will combine traffic light colour coding and Guideline Daily Amounts (% of an adult's reference intake). It is a voluntary label but will cover 60% of food sold in the UK. Supermarkets, who have long been using traffic light labelling, have all signed up to the new scheme, as have many food producers.
However many companies such as Kellogg, Coca-Cola, United Biscuits and Cadbury-owner Mondelez International have refused.
Kellogg has long been an opponent of traffic light labelling and it ran a vigorous lobbying campaign against the traffic light system, fearing that it would demonise many of its cereals as they would score a red grading.
Nestlé was also an opponent of traffic light labels but has now signed up to the new scheme.
Health campaigners and consumers have all been in favour of traffic lights because they give clear, at-a-glance information about whether a product is high in sugar, salt and fat.
Charlie Powell, director of the Children's Food Campaign, said the move was pleasing. But he added: "There are now no excuses - all food companies should follow suit and the government should name and shame any which drag their feet."
The following companies have signed up to the scheme:
Adelie Foods Group
Aldi Stores Ltd
Asda Stores Ltd
Bernard Matthews
The Co-Operative
Hain Daniels Group (New Covent Garden Soup)
Iceland Foods
Lidl UK
Lockwoods (Mushy Peas)
Marks and Spencer
Mars UK
Mash Direct
McCain Foods
Morrisons Ltd
Moy Park (Poultry)
Nestle UK
PepsiCo UK
Premier Foods
Tesco Food Stores Ltd
URBAN eat
Waitrose Ltd
Young's Seafood Limited

YAY! I'm back with my monthly goals today!! I took the opportunity in Jan. to explain to you all my 2014 goal of growth through photography and today I'm so happy to be back with my monthly goals for February!!! Since I know you are all dying inside to know... here they are:
A little photography practice happened this last week. Not perfect but I'm working on simple skills each time that hopefully, eventually, I can learn to use all at once and see serious results through my photos…
A little photography practice happened this last week. Not perfect but I'm working on simple skills each time that hopefully, eventually, I can learn to use all at once and see serious results through my photos…
These random photos came about by my doing a little lighting exploration in the house (I'm DYING to get outdoors for photography practice but this snow just keeps piling up around here!!!) so I'm resorting to find new spots in house to work and what angles I can get the best light…yada yada yada… (all of this is obviously spurred by my homework/practice lessons that are encouraged through my Mom and Pop Photography 101 Course)
Suddenly as I was taking advantage of her & my dude's independent play time, she wanted to do an impromptu photo shoot?!?! Um. Sure. Ok! Since when did you WANT your photo taken? I took her up on the opportunity though and got some really cute candid photos of her just playing and running around. It somehow ended up in a "photo race" where she would run circle through the house and I would yell "freeze" and she would stop and smile just long enough for me to snap a shot! (I ended up with far more "bad" photos then good ones because she wouldn't hold still long enough…) but it ended up being super fun for both her and me! She was actually sad when we had to stop…but Mom duty was calling and dinner had to be made ;-)
...And then there was a planned photo shoot…a seven month one…. *tears*
Can you believe I had NEVER done a naked photo shoot of EITHER one of my babies until this month? Now, I'm regretting not doing with Nugget girl SO BAD!! :-(
(he was a good boy and didn't piddle at all on my floors. lol)
Can you believe I had NEVER done a naked photo shoot of EITHER one of my babies until this month? Now, I'm regretting not doing with Nugget girl SO BAD!! :-(
(he was a good boy and didn't piddle at all on my floors. lol)
He does NOT hold still anymore. Gosh, is he wiggly….
Not only is he wiggly…he is a HUNGRY boy!!!!!!
My lil Johnny Cash lover has almost eaten up all his Nana's hard work so it was time to restock...
I was finally starting to run low on all the food Mother Hen had made and while making it I got to thinking about two different conversations I've had with a couple friends recently in regards to why I make my baby food. I am not a health nut. Far from it. So it is not for that reason...But I do always look for ways to save a buck! Before I go any further let me say we DO buy some baby food especially for those times when we are on the go etc. I have absolutely nothing agains store bought food. But when home we try to give only home made. When I decided to include in this in todays post I sat down and did a little math. After doing so and confirming what I already knew I'm totally blow away at the cost savings and even more so that more people aren't doing this. Not to mention its super crazy easy and really not that time consuming at all!!!
When I make baby food it goes down like this:
I usually get 4 pots going at once on the stove. Empty can food into pots. I usually do two cans per. (low sodium or no salt added of course) Pictured above is carrots and green beans. I generally cover and let them simmer for 20 min or more to get those veggies really really soft, tender, and cooked all the way through. No need for these over priced "baby bullet" or baby food making kits. (Sorry if you have one and love it…I just personally think it's a waste of money) Just bust out your regular blender people! Blend it all up and then simply pour into ice cube trays! Freeze over night. Pop out the cubes and store in ziplock bags. There is absolutely no need for these fancy schmancy baby food making kits they sell. Generally about two cubes equals one container of bought food. So the part I was really excited to share is the MATH:
($8.64 for an 8 pack)
($0.98 for one can)
2 cans of food fills one ice cube tray = 14 cubes = 7servings for a total of $1.96
this breaks down to 28 cents a serving
$8.64 for an 8 pack = 16 individual containers = 54 cents a serving
Now I'm really gonna geek out over this even further….
End of the story is that store bought is almost double the cost! Buy making homemade we save aprox. $23.00 a month. Thats a case of diapers people!! I'll take it!
**Obviously not all babies eat the same quantities so these are all just conservative averages.**
At the end of the day, I have no judgment on what anyone feeds their babies but I know I love to see facts and helpful hints on easy ways to cut costs around these parts so I wanted to share with you all too!
Just a little "food for thought"...
