It's that time again, time to elect city council members for Vancouver and surrounding communities. All candidates have filed and are getting their campaigns geared up for the August primary in hopes of being one of the two chosen by the people to advance on to the general election in November.
Since I live outside the city limits, my ballot this year will be slim. I won't get to vote for any of the city council positions so for the most part, I will remain neutral, but present my impression of the candidates seeking a return to office or hoping to replace someone.
Neutrality will not extend to the Vancouver Mayor's race.
This initial post will concern the Vancouver City Council race for position 3, currently held by four term incumbent Jeanne Harris and those challenging her, Ann McEnerny-Ogle, Galina Burley, Frank Decker and Adam Fox. Order of listing is not by preference.
Jeanne Harris has served on the Vancouver City Council longer than anyone presently sitting on it. First appointed in 1996, she has won election to the seat she still holds 4 times and wishes to make it 5 times now.
I have to be honest and say that politically, she and I don't agree on much and I have beat her up pretty hard in the past. But, a few weeks ago I took the opportunity and accepted her invitation to meet face to face over coffee. We still have opposing views on politics, but I can also say she isn't the angry ogre many of us have thought since the time of her unfortunate outburst back in Sept. 2010.
She accepted the penalties and is paying the price for that incident as the Democrat Party she has strongly supported and represented over so many years sees her as a liability now and are sending their support to others, essentially pulling the rug out from underneath her feet.
She has been a strong supporter of the now defunct Columbia River Crossing light rail project, but has also supported, questioned and voted for several other projects as city council member, some even I could agree with.
She has a strong history of supporting local charities and community involvement and as said, has served on the city council now since 1996. She raised a son that has served in Iraq and has shown her self to be a supporter of Veterans. Bio & Past Campaign Site
Whether the past incidents and lack of partisan support hinder her this election is left up to the voters, but I would also say to compare her record with your own values before following the lead of the Democrat Party who sells her out after so many years of her supporting their views.
Ann McEnerny-Ogle is well known throughout the community for her involvement in various community functions and groups, not the least of which is her involvement with the Boy Scouts, Community Military Appreciation Committee supporting Veterans, her husband being a Vietnam Veteran.
Ann has run for the city council before, coming really close to winning, even being once endorsed by yours truly for appointment to occupy the seat vacated by then newly elected Mayor Leavitt. The seat went to Bart Hansen.
I would have to describe Ann as the most centrist of all of the candidates with a heavy focus on listening to citizens to represent the views of the community instead of dictating to them.
She has years of experience serving on various boards and commissions in Vancouver and is well known and respected in Vancouver. An accusation from the last election of her inability to work well with other people and not being recommended for reappointment is now known to be very mistaken.
Next to Jeanne Harris, Ann McEnerny-Ogle would have the most experience in community affairs related to city council.
Frank Decker is a newcomer on the political scene in Vancouver and undoubtedly the most conservative of all of the candidates running for Position 3.
He claims to be a Veteran of the U.S. Air Force, Supply Clerk and said he has been involved as a technology teacher at the middle and high school levels.
He and his wife raised a family of three children here in Vancouver, both of their sons having served in the Military and in Afghanistan. Their daughter is raising her own family in Vancouver.
While he lacks in experience, he has gained much support from the new local Republicans desiring to see a change on the city council.
Whether that will be enough to propel him through the primary and onto the general election remains to be seen.
Galina Burley is another political newcomer with several in the community feeling she was enlisted by Identity Clark County to try to keep this seat for CRC proponents since the initial announcement of her entry included her support of the CRC.
A direct question on her support of the now defunct project by blogger Kelly Hinton was met with a vague, non-committal reply.
Galina emigrated from Russia when she was 15 year-old in 1991. Of all of the candidates, she not only witnessed first-hand the oppression of socialism, but lived under it.
I sat down with her to a few weeks ago, but was disappointed our time was cut short and we didn't get to discuss more about the issues of concern to her. In fact, we discussed very little about issues with my largest concern being a statement she makes on her Issues Page, "I commit to making the City of Vancouver a model of: 'Equitable access to prosperity for all its citizens'."
I was assured she does not mean socialism as she spoke of how her family arrived with on $50, but through hard work are now living the American Dream. Still, maybe it's just me, but the wording disturbs me since every one of us already has all of the access to prosperity we are willing to work for.
Galina is employed by Clackamas County in Oregon and was previously employed by the City of Portland Office of Neighborhood Involvement and more recently the City of Norfolk, Virginia as a Community Outreach Manager.
She and her husband are raising three daughters in Vancouver and she appears to have the support of many members of Identity Clark County and the local Democrats.
Her ex-husband has recently raised several allegations against her, questioning her candidacy.
Adam Fox seems to be running a stealth campaign as there is very little know about or heard from him. In fact, next to nothing is being heard from him and his name isn't even appearing in the Public Disclosure Commission files yet.
There hasn't been anything added to his "official Facebook page for his 2013 bid" since shortly after being created in May.
The main political experience he claims is, "having worked as a fundraiser and organizer with several organizations locally, including Volunteers of America Oregon InAct, the Sharon Wylie/C-Tran campaign, Fund For the Public Interest, OSPIRG, and WSUV's River Cities Anthropological Society."
Obviously a liberal, I am left to wonder just how serious he is about seeking public office since we hear nothing from him or his campaign.
Voters in Vancouver have some choices to make for this position. To the best of my ability this is what I have gleaned from each candidate. Who wins in August and which two advance to the November general is in your hands,
I urge each of you to check each of the candidates out, visit their websites, attend campaign events and maybe invite them to speak before whatever group you may belong with and listen to where they stand.
Let's be informed voters this time and know who is being elected and where they will take us.

Music for the Sistine Chapel
During the second half of the fifteenth century the papal choir was established in what was to remain its final form for the next couple of centuries by Sixtus IV, the founder of the Sistine Chapel. Until its decline in the eighteenth century, this celebrated musical foundation, which served as a model for countless other institutions throughout Catholic Europe, employed a steady stream of eminent singers and composers, including Dufay, Josquin, Morales and Palestrina. Much of their music was written for the Sistine Chapel, and a large series of surviving choirbooks in the Vatican Library offers a detailed insight into what the choir sang, and the way in which older repertory continued to be performed much later than it would elsewhere. In addition, ceremonial books and other contemporary documents provide a great deal of information about when and how polyphony was incorporated into the liturgy. If there was ever a case for well-founded historical reconstruction of sixteenth-century music, then the Sistine Chapel repertory is surely it.
In many ways, the Taverner Consort and their director Andrew Parrott are well-equipped for the task. Parrott has always shown himself to be alive to the historical issues of early-music performance, and able to provide thoughtful and sometimes controversial answers to interpretational difficulties. His records always provide a surprise, and this one is no exception. The centrepiece is not (as might be thought from the advertised contents of the record) Allegri's famous Miserere but rather a compound version of that work in which successive verses are taken from differently arranged and ornamented versions that have survived among the Sistine manuscripts. The result is not a piece that was ever performed, but an intriguing historical hybrid, delivered with an appropriately bright and at times even slightly hard sound. There seems to be a conscious effort here to achieve an Italianate effect, and it is very effective particularly in the upper lines which possess a firm and rich tone close (one imagines) to the sound that the falsettists who sang this part in the sixteenth century might have achieved.
Yet despite the imagination and care with which this record has been planned and executed (the decision to add embellishment to pieces other than the Allegri might be singled out as an example of Parrott's attention to historical detail), there remains a striking curiosity. Sixtus IV established the choir at a membership of 24 singers, and in the course of the next century the numbers rose. But the Taverner Consort perform all the pieces on this record with only one voice to a part. Certainly much of this music (though not the Allegri) would have been performed in this way in Brescia or Bergamo, but the one place it would not have been done with such small forces was the Sistine Chapel.
For a record which wears its academic credentials so conspicuously, and on the whole successfully, this is an extraordinary decision for which neither the generous acoustic nor the sensitive efforts of the engineers can compensate.'

SEYMOUR, Ind.: Police in Indiana say someone stole about $300 in Halloween candy from an unmarked police car.
The North Vernon Police Department in southern Indiana says officers had just bought the candy and planned to give it away to trick-or-treaters at the police station Friday evening. They were eating lunch Wednesday at a Cracker Barrel restaurant in nearby Seymour when the theft happened.
The Republic of Columbus reports two windows were broken out on the police car. The department says a police badge and ID, a fingerprint kit and a camouflage backpack also were taken from the vehicle. No firearms were stolen.
The stolen candy was about half of what the department had expected to give away. Officers are still planning to hand out treats.

NY's Ultimate Christmas Shopping Destination Sees 112% Lift in Revenue
House of Holiday
The Ultimate Christmas Shopping Destination, was originally limited to their prime time seasonal selling period and was facing a number of obstacles in increasing revenues beyond that small window even with Google Shopping already running.
Seasonally-driven E-Commerce businesses often experience a lot more than the common growing pains of other verticals. House of Holiday already had strong performance throughout their primary three to four month window. What they needed now was a way to break down those barriers and understand what was really going on in their Shopping campaigns.
The Obstacles
There were some distinct pain points to address so House of Holiday could
maintain a steady stream of sales throughout the year
Niche, Seasonal Products
Due to a lack of understanding of Google Shopping combined with the niche aspect of their product type, sales were limited and sporadic
Lacked Key Optimizations
Not only did House of Holiday need a quality product feed, they were also trailing behind on the then growing popularity of mobile device shopping
Missing Hyper-Localization
While a national presence was crucial, House of Holiday was not capitalizing on the local market enough
The Outcome
The most impressive results were outside of House of Holiday's normal selling season
Growth in year-round revenue from Google Shopping
Reduction in the Average Cost-Per-Click in campaigns
Increase in Shopping ad impressions per dollar spent
Growth in new shoppers purchasing from their online store
Why it all worked
It came down to leadership, expertise, transparency, and proactive management
- Saturated the local market with relevant, right-sized product ads
- A solid mobile experience allowed us to measure net profits across all devices
- Artfully managed Google Shopping campaigns in the off-season expanded the sales window
- Larry could stay completely up-to-date on his account performance by simply logging into our app
"With Sales & Orders, I had a dashboard that I could access at any time so I could know which products were hot sellers and which were duds"

Fleeing driver, Tasman
Minister of Police Stuart Nash has issued the following statement in response to the fatal crash in Tasman District this morning.
This crash is a tragedy for the families of those who have died and for the Police officers involved in the incident.
My sympathies are with all of those affected by this, including the other motorists and members of the public who stopped to help, and the emergency response personnel from ambulance and fire services.
Police have to make instant decisions based on the circumstances in front of them at the time, and the road and traffic conditions as well.
Fleeing drivers are always a highly challenging law and order event for Police. Currently they deal with about 300 of these complex situations every month.
Police are currently working closely with the IPCA to review their policies and practices around these unpredictable events and I have asked for an update on progress in this review which is due to be completed later this year.
I also extend my sympathies to the families of five others who have died on the roads this weekend. Our road toll is too high and police are working hard to improve safety and prevent death and injury for all road users.

Clough pleased with Burton reaction as they edge Port Vale to progress
Posted Wednesday, August 14, 2019 by PA
Burton manager Nigel Clough was delighted with his side's resilience after they reached the Carabao Cup second round with a 2-1 win at Port Vale.
Scott Fraser struck a 62nd-minute winner, meaning Burton, who reached the competition's semi-finals last season, will meet Morecambe in the second round.
Clough said: "It was a tough night for us, but it was always going to be.
"We started well and got the early goal and then we relaxed a little bit too much.
"After being pegged back to 1-1 the reaction was superb and we scored another brilliant goal – they were both team goals.
"We have a lot of away games in the current run of matches, so to win the first two is very important and for fitness as well, as you can't replicate these kind of cup ties in pre-season."
Burton went ahead thanks to a ninth-minute strike from Liam Boyce, before Vale equalised through a Mark Cullen penalty in the 53rd minute.
But Burton restored their lead nine minutes later when Lucas Akins' effort was parried by Scott Brown and Scott Fraser latched on to the rebound to fire the ball home.
Vale assistant manager Dave Kevan said his team can take positives from the game.
He said: "We didn't start the way we would have liked and that was a big disappointment.
"Then we got into it and could have gone on to possibly tighten our grip even more, but that didn't happen.
"Obviously nobody enjoys a defeat, but the players put a shift in and we managed to utilise the squad.
"If you work hard, you'll always have a chance."

4 Surprising Ways You're Making Your Teeth Crooked
A lovely smile is certainly the best accessory you can wear on your face. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford such a smile, owing to such undesirable features as misaligned teeth. Of course, a quick solution to this would be to see an Invisalign expert in Woodstock to get your teeth straightened. But could it be that you might have avoided the problem in the first place? Here are little habits that make teeth crooked.
Sleeping on your stomach
Teeth repositioning is often caused by regular inward pressure. If you sleep on your stomach, you're placing a significant amount of weight on your face, which leads to inward pressure on your teeth. With time, your teeth become misaligned. Try to sleep on your back or side instead.
Leaning on your hand too much
Sitting at a desk throughout the day often leads to poor posture, with many people slumping forward and resting their heads on their hands. The result is that you put significant pressure on the side of the jaw, causing your teeth to move. A good way to avoid this is by aligning your body properly whenever seated.
Sucking your thumb or other items
Thumb sucking is not very common among adults, but many people tend to suck other items such as pens and straws. This habit pushes the teeth outward, with the pressure leading to teeth misalignment.
Neglecting gaps for missing teeth
Tooth loss can happen as a result of all manner of reasons. It could be that your tooth was extracted due to cavities or were knocked off in an accident. Whichever the case, it's essential that you fill the gap to keep your teeth from becoming crooked due to the uneven force distribution caused by the gap.
Crooked teeth can immediately take the beauty out of your smile and make you feel self-conscious. Avoiding habits that misalign your teeth can help keep them looking visually appealing.

The interesting thing about solving any kind of problem is to identify processes. The problem with the people trying to solve problems whether it's personal, financial, political, economic or academic is the fact that they are conscious that they're solving a problem.
They go about it like the weight of the world was on their shoulders. They go about it in a very formal way and they end up making the wrong call over and over again.
This is all too predictable because the problem is not the answer. The problem is the process. When you approach any kind of problem, assuming that there is some sort of fixed answer that you just need to find, you're setting yourself up for failure. You're going about it the wrong way. You're doing it wrong. You are adopting the wrong assumption at the wrong time to produce the wrong results time after time after time.
Unfortunately, this happens to all people. This happens to even the very best of us – people who have been around the block, people who are otherwise experienced, and people who have high IQs. It doesn't matter. It happens all the time.
This is why it's really important to look at the any kind of problem not as some sort of magic set of answers. Instead, look at problems as an invitation or an opportunity to ask the right questions.
With the right questions in mind, you will be able to come up with the mind frame that you will take you closer to the problem. Sooner or later, you will be able to solve the problem.
For example, when you're trying to figure out horror movie fans, you can go about it in terms of shared experiences or you can you go about it like some sort of estimate. That's right! Trying to estimate how many people play LOL really pre-supposes or assumes ahead of time that there is a fixed number or fixed solution.
It's easy to think at this level. After all, most people do suffer from one form of mental laziness or other. Still, if we want to truly mature and step up our game, we need to go beyond the tried and proven. We also need to go beyond the convenient, comfortable, and easy. We need to roll up our sleeves and do some mental heavy work.
This can be very inspiring at some level or other but it can also foreclose opportunities. It can close the doors of serious answers because you're no longer looking at it as some sort of questions. You're looking at it as a fixed fact that you just need to discover. You see the difference?
Do yourself a big favor. Pay attention to process instead of automatically assuming that there has to be some sort of answer that has to live up to your preconception. If you do that, chances are, you're only setting yourself up for disappointment.

Journal of
7 Does the company's budget need to be adjusted or restricted
to control cash? If so, implement
reforms. Creditors will expect 13-week
rolling cash flows and more generally
that the company is on top of its
financial problems—make sure that
the necessary information is at hand.
8 Does the company have adequate liquidity for the near
future? This is critical. Hoping that
things will change in a few weeks is
not sufficient. If the director is not
reasonably comfortable that the
company can pay its upcoming bills,
the board should immediately explore
ways to obtain additional cash.
9 Would it be beneficial to involve key creditors or other
stakeholders in strategy discussions?
If so, involve them. No one likes
surprises. And while alarming
creditors or investors is something to
be avoided, it is better to ease people
into a difficult situation than to drop
them into a crisis. Otherwise, they
will lose confidence in the company.
This all may seem rather obvious, andthe individual probably feels like itis what a prudent director should dounder the circumstances. If so, thedirector is thinking about the situationin the right way and is exercising hisor her fiduciary duties properly, which,in all circumstances, is twofold: ( 1) theduty of loyalty, and ( 2) the duty of care. Effectively, all of these questions goto the duty of care. A director mustexercise reasonable effort, concern,and judgment, given the difficultcircumstances. The duty of loyalty,which largely subsumes the sometimesseparate duty of good faith, requiresthat there be no conflict between thecompany's interests and those of thedirector. Directors must act in goodfaith and discharge their duties in thebest interests of the company, avoidself-dealing, observe confidentialityobligations, and not abuse corporateopportunities for personal gain. Aslong as directors comply with thesefiduciary duties, they are entitled to theprotections of the "business judgmentrule" and are generally not subject toliability for their decisions and actions.
Fear of the 'Zone'
Still, in the back of the director's
mind, he or she might be concerned
about the "zone of insolvency" and
even "deepening insolvency" and
worry about liability that he or she
might incur to creditors if the board
does not do something differently
now that the company is in trouble.
A company is considered to be in the
zone of insolvency when it is near the
point where ( 1) the sum of its debts is
greater than its assets, and it has no
reasonable prospect of continuing
successfully or ( 2) the company is
unable to pay its debts as they come
due in the ordinary course of business.
The director, however, can take comfort
in the fact that, for the most part, the law
strongly favors the director so long as
he or she continues to satisfy the duties
of care and loyalty. Courts in most
jurisdictions, including Delaware and
New York, have specifically rejected the
zone of insolvency theory, which argues
that, because the shares of a potentially
insolvent company are essentially
worthless, directors should instead
look out for creditors who may soon
own the company. See North American
Catholic Educational Programming Inc.
v. Gheewalla, 930 A.2d 92 (Del. 2007);
RSL Communications PLC v. Bildirici,
649 F. Supp. 2d 184 (S.D.N. Y. 2009).
In addition, the theory of deepeninginsolvency, under which a troubledcompany would face liability for takingsteps that worsen its condition, hasalso been rejected by most courts.
See, e.g., Trenwick America Litigation
Trust v. Ernst & Young, L.L.P, 906 A.2d
168, 205-06 (Del. Ch. 2006). The court
in Trenwick stated: "The fact that the
residual claimants of the firm at that
time are creditors does not mean
that the directors cannot choose to
continue the firm's operations in
the hope that they can expand the
inadequate pie such that the firm's
creditors get a greater recovery. By
doing so, the directors do not become
a guarantor of success." Id. at 174.
By rejecting these theories, courts have
reaffirmed that the directors of solvent
companies, including those in the
zone of insolvency, owe their duties
to the company and its shareholders
alone. For example, in Gheewalla, the
Delaware Supreme Court found: "When
a solvent corporation is navigating in
the zone of insolvency, the focus for
Delaware directors does not change:
directors must continue to discharge
their fiduciary duties to the corporation
and its shareholders by exercising
their business judgment in the best
interests of the corporation for the
benefit of its shareholder owners." 930
A.2d at 101. Only when a company has
actually become insolvent do directors
owe a fiduciary duty to creditors.
See Bildirici, 649 F. Supp. 2d at 202.
Taken to the extreme, do these rulings
mean that directors could take a
troubled company's cash to Las Vegas
and gamble it to try to turn around the
company's fortunes? No. Betting all of a
company's money speculatively, where
the odds are stacked against success,
would violate the duty of care, and
the directors would not be protected
by the business judgment rule. But, it
does mean that directors can go far in
taking business risks and exploring
perhaps very difficult scenarios before
getting themselves into trouble. In
fact, courts have held that "even when
a firm is insolvent, its directors may,
in the appropriate exercise of their
business judgment, take action that
might, if it does not pan out, result in
the firm being painted in a deeper hue
of red." See Trenw ick, 906 A.2d at 174.
Don't Abandon Ship
Despite these protections, when a
company faces financial distress or
a possible restructuring, a director's
impulsive reaction might be to
resign from the board instead of

This lesson introduces students to the ways in which advertising can affect their food choices.
This lesson looks at food photography and the different techniques used by food stylists to make foods look appealing in advertisements.
This lesson familiarizes children with the nutritional value of foods advertised on television and in magazines.
In this lesson, students use science and critical thinking to test the legitimacy of advertisers' claims about their products.
To familiarize students with the marketing techniques used in television and magazine snack food ads.
In this lesson, students look at the health issues that are associated with our fast food culture, and the advertising of it.
Studies have found that fast-food ads dominate children's programming. In order to give children a perspective on the lure of snack-food advertisements, it's important that they understand where snacks can fit into a healthy diet. Once they have an understanding of where snack food fits into their lives, they can begin to deconstruct the ads themselves.
This lesson introduces students to the ways in which packaging is designed to attract kids.
In e-Parenting Tutorial: Keeping up with your kids' online activities, Alice, a witty and cyber-savvy mom, takes parents on a tour of the many different Web environments and activities that are popular with children and youth.
In this lesson, students consider the role of snack foods in a healthy diet. The teacher then guides them on a tour of popular sites aimed at children, where the class identifies and classifies the advertising encountered there and looks at how the food products being advertised fit – or don't fit – in the food groups found in the Canada Food Guide. Students then play the game Co-Co's AdverSmarts to understand some of the techniques used by online food marketers and then create their own mock website promoting a healthy diet.


text: Medical Center Moment - May 2018 by Carl Behne - June 5, 2018 After a busy April, May seemed like a quiet month at the medical center — which was a good thing for all of our employees who were busy planning and celebrating college and high school graduations with their children or grandchildren. May is a month filled with celebrations that make us feel good about our young people and their futures. Seeing all their accomplishments spread out on tables and bulletin boards and in graduation programs is heartwarming. The medical center's imaging department is experiencing a graduation of sorts this month, as they say goodbye to their old mammogram equipment and bring in a brand new 3D mammography machine. Imaging Director Jennifer Miller anticipates they'll be offering 3D mammograms by mid-June. Thanks to all who made this possible — the generous community members and employees who donated to our most recent Greene Backer campaign, as well as our Auxiliary who did many fundraisers specifically for this purpose. So, congratulations to all of the graduates — we hope you remember you are always welcome here in your home community. The medical center welcomes the opportunity to take care of you and those you love. Always Here, Always Caring, Carl Behne, CEO

Heading to the Mountains. Topeka to Oakley
Jun 5, 2010
|Marilyn & I have been aware that we have been under a bit of stress lately. We simply did not realize the effect until yesterday afternoon and evening.
We thought that once we reached Topeka, we would call some friends, John & Lori and Sam & Rhonda, just to see if we could all get together for dinner.
While we were traveling, Marilyn had made a comment to me that she felt so sleepy and could hardly keep her eyes open.
She suddenly realized that we were doing the thing we love to do and she had begun to relax. The stress was melting away and the relaxation was taking over.
I felt much that same way, so when we were finally finished with setting up and a run to fuel the truck, both of us just crashed!
We had our PJ's on by 4:00 PM and went to bed early. We did read for awhile before falling asleep.
This morning we didn't roll out of bed until 5:30, even though we had more than eight hours of sleep. LOL
We shared a pot of coffee before we began to get things ready for the road.
It was 7:45 when we pulled out of the campground. We both felt good, and were happy to be on the road.
The scenery and the weather were both great as we motored west.
A motor home passed us on the interstate and the lady on the passenger side waved at us like she knew us. We saw them parked at a rest area later and still don't know who they are. It would not surprise me if they know us somehow. That stuff happens to us all the time.
We drove 281 miles today, bucking a headwind all the way. That hurt the pocketbook a little since the computer showed that we averaged a whopping 8.9 mpg for the day. Ouch!
Yesterday we averaged 9.7 mpg and I thought that was bad.
In any case, we were off the road at 1:00 PM today. We set up without unhooking because we are anxious to get an early start tomorrow. We were sitting in a restaurant having a fine lunch from the buffet, by 1:40 PM. Of course the restaurant is right next door, so we set up and then walked over there. They have great fried chicken, roast beef, real mashed potatoes, gravy, veggies, and a salad bar with super good pickled beets.
Pie or ice cream are extra so we passed on dessert. Besides, we have several small pies we could pop into the oven, and some ice cream in our freezer.
We are now settled in and relaxing!
Tomorrow we should arrive at Mountaindale. Man, we just can't wait! We will be getting together with Jim & Ellie, fellow RV-Dreamers that we first met at the rally in Branson, MO.
I'll bet we have a good time with these fine folks.
Life is Good!

Why Do High Traffic Websites Prefer Cloud Hosting?
Billions of websites around the world create engaging content, indulge in various marketing and promotional activities, and try to attract users to their websites. Websites are created to take the customer through a journey which explains the products/services offered by the site. Most websites expect to attract thousands of visitors and conduct market surveys, competition analysis and follow SEO guidelines for the same. However, when the traffic starts increasing, site owners need to have their technical resources, provided by the web host in place to manage the load. If the website does not have adequate resources, then the site speed can get affected leading to users abandoning the site or leaving with a bad experience. While there are many hosting plans available, Cloud Hosting is the best hosting solution for high traffic websites for reasons mentioned below.
What do high traffic websites need from a hosting provider?
- Scalability of resources to manage the high traffic volumes
- Maximum Uptime
- Fast page load speed
- Top notch security in a high traffic environment
- Cost-efficiency
Why high traffic websites prefer Cloud Hosting?
Cloud Hosting services offer the following features making them the ideal choice for high traffic websites:
Load Balancing
In Cloud Hosting, servers can be configured for load balancing so that no single server becomes overloaded. The hosting provider can add additional servers to the cluster in order to manage load without disturbing the current environment. This helps maximize the performance of your website and manage high volumes of traffic.

Post-graduate course on characterization, management and exploitation of genomic diversity in animals (9-13 December 2019)
Wageningen University & Research organizes a 5-day interactive course from 9 to 13 December 2019, in the framework of the EU Horizon 2020 project IMAGE (Innovative Management of Animal Genetic Resources).
Scope of the course
Genetic diversity contributes to the ability of a species to respond to environmental changes, with implications in terms of, for example, breeding strategies in farm animals and conservation of endangered species. In the genomics era, genotypes and whole-genome sequence (WGS) play an important role in maintaining and preserving genetic diversity. This course will focus on the use of genomic data to identify and exploit genetic diversity in an optimal way for a sustainable future.
Aim of the course
Learn about novel methods to characterise, manage and exploit genomic diversity (animal genetic resources) and directly apply such methods to your own dataset.
Target audience
Target audience of the course are PhD students, post-docs and researchers interested in genomic diversity.
A prerequisite for participants of the course is a familiarity with genomic data (SNP or sequence), as part of the course focusses on working on genomic data. Without any experience on genomic data and especially working with this data, it is very likely the course will be too ambitious for the applicant. The applicants are therefore asked to hand in an abstract describing their skills with analysing genomic data, and the field they are working in. In case the number of applicants exceeds the maximum number of participants (30), a selection procedure will apply in order to have a good fit between scope of the course and the participants.
Learning goals
- How to assess the genetic diversity, either between or within breeds, available in genomic data?
- How do gene banks help to elucidate the history of local populations and the history of major genes?
- Which potentially detrimental variants can contribute to inbreeding depression?
- Can we facilitate the effective use of gene bank samples in breeding by novel genome-assisted methods and tools?
- How to manage small populations to maintain genetic diversity?
Content of the course at a glance
- Measures of genomic diversity
- Diversity across breeds
- Adaptive introgression
- Functional genomics
- Management of small populations
- Optimal contributions
Confirmed lecturers
- Mirte Bosse, Wageningen University
- Martien Groenen, Wageningen University
- Gabor Meszaros, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences
- Jack Windig, Wageningen Research
The IMAGE project "Innovative Management of Animal Genetic Resources"
(acronym IMAGE) is a project funded by the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme of the European Union and comprises of a comprehensive consortium of 28 partners from 18 countries. IMAGE aims to enhance the use of genetic collections and to upgrade animal gene bank management by further developing genomic methodologies, biotechnologies and bioinformatics for a better knowledge and exploitation of animal genetic resources. For more information, please visit the project website.

"IT'S always good to see a show that makes you smile," said Vanity Fair's Michael Roberts as he filed out of Rei Kawakubo's Comme des Garcons show this afternoon.
A designer like no other, Kawakubo's conceptualism is a refreshing bolt from the blue during Paris Fashion Week – no matter what everybody else might be doing, you can depend upon her to explore a new idea to the full.
What was so clever about today was the play on proportions and scale, so that after almost a full day of looking at clothes you can imagine living life in, this called into question the reality of construction and the limits of convention.
An attempt to mould the shape of the female body, the show was filled with dresses and jackets that were stuffed to – literally - bursting with panels of puffed out excess - some white ones had been slashed, freeing the squashy innards to spill out as if they'd been randomly sprayed with a foam gun.
Kawakubo's technical skill is second to none - she uses fabrics that you haven't a hope of recognising immediately, and then suddenly sends out the same shape in a pinstripe - a reality check on this wild fashion fantasy.
In grey Lurex the looks had a softer feel and the jackets, with their less exaggerated bubbles, had cult written all over them – for this designer can certainly boast a cult following.
While often extraordinary looking, the clothes carried a message about a softening of standard tailoring – the sharp edges were curved off the hips, shoulders and the bust but they were, at the same time, exaggerated.
The voluptuous shapes became increasingly sexy as panels of sheer chiffon slid in between the padding - and it was that, the mastering of tailoring techniques to invent a new sensuality, that was so clever - all the clothes we know were there, but they are transformed into completely new ideas via the Kawakubo vision.
A tartan set suggested her signature tomboy character, with wide school boy shorts, but in the main this was an exaggerated femininity at play.

The final video for now from our tour of Cornish antiquities visits the Carn Euny courtyard house settlement.
Continually occupied for over 800 years, the final phase of the settlement consisted of three large courtyard houses, several smaller oval buildings and a fogou. The fogou was discovered in 1857, and excavated in the 1860s by William Copeland Borlase.

I first visited Mulfra Vean courtyard house settlement in Penwith back in 2013, when CASPN were running a clear-up at the site. At that time the site was very overgrown and difficult to understand.
Since then, CASPN have continued their regular clear-ups, and these have recently been augmented by an additional volunteer team from the Penwith Landscape Partnership (PLP) as part of their Ancient Penwith project, one of 13 projects funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund with additional funding from Cornwall Council and other sources, running over a 5 year period.
My most recent visit to Mulfra Vean was prompted by my attendance in October last year at a one-day introductory course to archaeological surveying, held by PLP. The object of the day was to prepare volunteers to participate in producing surveys of sites in Penwith, starting with Mulfra Vean. Although ill-health at the time prevented me from committing to participate in the surveys themselves, I did volunteer to assist in the digitisation of any survey drawings. As I was aware that a significant effort had now been put into the survey, I visited the site to see what progress had been made.
I was met by Jeanette Ratcliffe, the current Ancient Penwith Project Officer, providing maternity cover for Laura Ratcliffe-Warren. Jeannette was kind enough to show me the current state of the survey plans drawn up by the volunteer team to date and gave me a short tour of the site.
The settlement is currently dissected by a footpath which ascends Mulfra Hill, and the current effort is focussed to the west of the path, where one courtyard house and the possible outline of another have been laid bare. This part of the settlement was excavated in 1954 by Rev. Crofts, who sadly passed away the following year without publishing his results. Luckily Charles Thomas obtained his notes, and the results were eventually published in the Cornwall Archaeology Society journal.
The features to the east of the path have long been hidden beneath dense undergrowth, but the brushcutters have recently been put to good use here, and details of the site can now be seen. First is an enigmatic double bank earthwork, which may possibly be related to medieval mining activity. To the north is another courtyard house, and this will no doubt be investigated further once the western survey is completed.
The current plan is to commence digitisation of the survey drawings by the end of January, for inclusion in a planned web portal which will show the results of all 13 projects in due course. Keep an eye on the PLP website for updates on this and the other projects.
Another video from our tour of Cornish antiquities shows the Ballowall Barrow, also known as Carn Gluze (or Gloose), near St. Just in Penwith. This funerary cairn was used in several phases from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age.
The site was excavated by Borlase in the 1800's at which time the site was remodeled to 'improve' access to the inner chambers. Prior to this, the site had been largely hidden beneath mining rubble, which aided in its preservation.

Our latest video from a tour of Cornish antiquities shows Zennor Quoit, famously saved from demolition in 1861, by William Borlase (a great grandson of Dr. William Borlase and vicar at Zennor). A local farmer proposed to convert the monument into a cattle–shed, but the Reverend intervened and successfully offered a financial incentive of five shillings to the farmer to build it elsewhere. The farmer had already built stone posts on the site ready to erect it, and these can still be seen today.

Carn Brea, near Redruth in Cornwall is an important Neolithic Tor Enclosure site. Word has just reached us that the area at the north base of the tor is under threat of development (shades of Old Oswestry here?). The intended use of the land is for a major BMX park and racetrack, a much-needed facility for the local youths. The right idea, in the wrong place! Below is a message from a local campaign group trying to get the development re-sited.
A message from Friends of Carn Brea Meadow
As you may or may not know there is a planning application currently filed with Cornwall Council to develop part of the land at the base of Carn Brea. You can see the application here – https://goo.gl/9g3Hny
Take a look at the two photos below.
Photo 1 shows Carn Brea, according to Historic England a "Neolithic hilltop enclosure with a later settlement and defensive structures, a prehistoric field system, a medieval castle and deer park". You will notice the green fields flanking the hill – well these vital flood areas (most of which are classed as a conservation area) are in danger – BIG DANGER.
Photo 2 shows the same view but highlights two areas. The area marked in Red is hoping to be developed in the planning application. A local professional who was invited by Cornwall Council to assess the planning application said in their findings "Approval of this application might set a precedent for further encroachment of the land around Carn Brea." – such as that marked in Blue.
This has caused a big storm in the area; the proposed development is for a BMX racing facility. The Friends of Carn Brea Meadow (consisting of families, working local people and retirees) have nothing against Cornwall having such a facility but they cannot support an application to develop over 8 acres of beautiful land.
Did you know the proposed development would see the destruction of over 140 perfectly healthy trees – trees that were planted by the local community over 20 years ago as a part of a publicly backed community initiate?
But we're not alone – over 2000 objectors have signed this online petition – https://bit.ly/2n15jBr saying they agree that this land should not be developed.
Wait, there's more.
Did you know this current land is free to access (YES that's right, you can go there with you families, just like many locals do, for FREE) and the area in Red has matured over the years to become a beautiful natural meadow – it even has orchids growing in it. Not supermarket potted orchids – real naturally growing ones. Go and take your children there and show them.
But we need your help to protect this area.
The racetrack wants to use BIG LIGHTS so it can operate for up to 12 hours a day all year round (weather dependent).
It wants to use a TANNOY SYSTEM so race commentary can be heard by the masses.
It wants PARKING FOR UPTO 200 CARS.
It wants to WIDEN PARTS OF THE GREAT FLAT LODE (a Heritage Mining Trail) SO CARS CAN DRIVE DOWN IT.
None of the Friends of Carn Brea Meadow are against Cornwall having a BMX racetrack locally but cannot support the development of land that –
– Falls within a conservation area.
– Is an area of Great Landscape Value
– Is a World Heritage Site.
– Is next to one of Cornwall's largest UNESCO World Heritage assets.
– Is listed as partly in county wildlife site area.
– Is listed as an early medieval site.
All definitions and points above were taken from Cornwall Council's online public mapping information. https://map.cornwall.gov.uk/ website/ccmap/…
So how can you help us save this land?
It's simple, just follow these easy steps, but you'll need to hurry –
- Share this post.
- Go to https://goo.gl/9g3Hny by the 9th of August and submit an objection – this is your only formal way to voice your objections in time to Cornwall Council.
- Sign the public objection petition – https://bit.ly/2n15jBr
- Sign the public petition for a detailed ecological study of the site to be conducted – https://bit.ly/2OHtKjH
Thank you, let's try and save Carn Brea and the surrounding land from development as once it's gone – there's no getting it back.

We last featured the stone circle on Stannon Moor here about 9 years ago! So a revisit was long overdue. Especially as I'd heard of a 4-stone 'setting' close to the circle that I'd not noticed on my last visit. I arranged to meet up once again with Dr. Sandy Gerrard along with Gordon and Janet from ACE Archaeology Club in Devon for a return visit to the circle and environs.
The stone setting is enigmatic, consisting of two pairs of stones, roughly aligned to the south-east with Stannon Moor and Louden Hill stone circles (although the circles are not intervisible). The setting is a staggered linear arrangement of four small end-set granite slabs.
The northern two slabs of the setting are 1.25m apart on a north-south axis, the greater width of each of these northern slabs is set transversely to the axis of the pair. The southern two slabs are 2m apart on a NNW-SSE axis, with their northern slab 1.8m south-west of the southern slab in the northern pair. The southern two slabs are smaller than those to the north, with their greatest width roughly in line with the axis of the pair.
Taking a look around, we espied a small stone on the horizon to the south, which appeared to be in direct alignment with the two southern stones. Without the recent dry weather, I doubt we would have spotted this stone from the setting.
Leaving a ranging pole as a guide we walked south where further stones, 10 or 11 in total, also appeared to line up, for a distance of around 150m. Did we have a row?
The southernmost stone appeared to have the attributes of a 'blocking' stone, a common feature of Neolithic stone rows. Looking roughly north-east, the blocking stone lined up with a large moorstone to point directly at the notch on Rough Tor – was this our first landscape treat? Is it an astronomical alignment?
Walking up and down the row, several other treats and tricks immediately became apparent:
- From the north walking south, Brown Willy appears on the south-east horizon as soon as the stone setting is left behind, a view which grows the further south you travel.
- Around 2/3rds along the row, Alex Tor to the south-west dips below the horizon, disappearing from view.
- Walking north, there are three 'sea triangles' to be seen to the west, which disappear one by one as you move north.
- From the southern blocking stone, the viewer appears to be in the centre of a landscape bowl, an omphalos moment perhaps?
This row, if that is what it is – and all the signs point that way – is not currently listed on the HER, but once the survey notes have been analysed, with field notes and measurements properly written up on our sister site: The Stone Rows of Great Britain we shall almost certainly be taking steps to ensure it is included.
Many thanks to Sandy, Gordon, and Janet for an interesting day out on the moors!

I recently had the pleasure of accompanying Dr. Sandy Gerrard on a field trip to visit two possible stone rows in West Penwith, Cornwall. Below is a short report of our visit.
The first row visited was Treveglos at Zennor. This purported row consists of three uprights.
Having scoped out the site a couple of weeks previously, the row was found easily enough, due to the large stone at the SE end of the row acting as a gatepost, above the level of the surrounding fields.
The other two upright stones were on field boundaries heading to the NW in adjoining fields and were easy enough to spot. A recumbent stone was also found in the field near to the gatepost, looking as if it had fallen to the west from a position just slightly out of alignment with the other three. However, the area has many earth-fast stones, and this alignment could well be a co-incidence.
Sadly, upon closer inspection it appears that the NW-most stone is erected upon an Iron Age field boundary, the middle stone bears characteristic tare and feather drill marks suggesting that it must have been erected sometime after 1800AD, and is erected upon what seems to be medieval field boundary. The large stone to the SE has been drilled for use as a gatepost, but given its height may well have Neolithic origins as a standing stone.
We then moved on to the holed stones on Kenidjack Common, near the Tregeseal stone circle. I was last here a couple of years ago and reported on them then.
Sandy confessed that they resembled nothing he'd seen on any other row, and was quite nonplussed. The fact that all of the stones are set at differing angles to the line of the 'row', and that none of the holes in the stones are targeted at anything specific only added to his confusion. The outlier appears to be set upon a bank – either a field boundary or possible dried-up watercourse.
This particular row requires further investigation, the Rev. J Buller having described them thusly in 1842:
Each has a hole perforated through its centre of about six inches in diameter. The edges of the holes are rounded as if they had been intended, and had been used, for a rope to pass through ; and had they lain near a sea beach it might reasonably have been concluded that their use was to moor a boat. They lie in a straight line nearly E. and W. There is a space of about twelve feet between the two western most, thirty three feet between the two centre stones, and nine feet between the two eastern ones, by which also it will be seen that one of the two last is broken in half, and the violence which effected it probably caused it to be removed three feet further towards the east. Originally there was in all probability a space of twelve feet between those at each end, and thirty feet between the two centre stones. They are from five to six feet long, four feet wide, and about one foot thick…
The spacing of the stones has been changed in the intervening years, and doubtless their orientation has also changed. Given this fact, it is unlikely that a definitive interpretation will ever be obtained.
The conclusion on the day was that neither row is likely to be Neolithic in origin, but Sandy will publish the full results of his analysis on his Stone Rows website in due course.

Our video tour continues with the remaining circle at Tregeseal, in the shadow of Carn Kenidjack, the 'Hooting Carn'.
Look for more videos in this series in the coming weeks.
Easter has been and gone, and in timeworn tradition, Cornwall is now 'open for business' to tourists once again. The ancient village of Chysaucester was open for the season again from the weekend, and I took a quick run down to see what was going on.
The atrocious weather we have been having meant that visitors to the site were being warned to take extra care as there is a lot of surface water on the slopes of the village at the moment and some areas are very muddy indeed.
My first stop after the entrance booth was to the education hut, where a 'Living History' exhibition was put on by local re-enactors. Wool was being spun, clay was available for children to have a go at modelling their on pots, various tools and implements were on view and I met Jasper 'the Iron Age dog' – who was very friendly and well behaved! The group have a Facebook page Dark Age Cornwall to discuss what everyday life may have been like for inhabitants of villages like that at Chysaucester.
Moving on up to the main street, I noticed a new wooden intrusion poking over a wall at the top of the hill, which wasn't there on my last visit.
Over the winter English Heritage have built an observation deck to give an elevated view, principally over House 6, but from where the rest of the village can also be seen. Hopefully it is incomplete – a dark green woodstain would help it to blend into the background and be less intrusive.
The site was quite busy with visitors, but as can be seen from the wideangle shot below of House 4, the ground water was quite bad, so I didn't stay long in order to minimise my footfall.
On the way back down the hill, I stopped at the fogou, and the effects of the winter could plainly be seen as daylight is now showing through where the 'filling' that was used to block the fogou (for Health and Safety reasons some years ago) has been washed away by the rain.
When told about the erosion, the site custodian said that the area will be fenced off shortly to avoid people trying to get into the fogou via the back entrance. Only time will tell as to whether English Heritage will do the right thing and excavate/open up the fogou, or if they will decide to refill it again.

Valuing the Quiet Instructor
I was recently on a roundtable about the politics of teaching personas at University of Oregon's annual Composition Conference. This is what I spoke about: One of my first teaching mentors told me that we're all haunted by the ghosts of past instructors. Our teaching personas, that is, are haunted by these past instructors and shape the way that we engage with our students, at least initially. Personally, I've been haunted by a series of wonderful, engaging, funny, but most of all extroverted ghosts. As instructors, we're often told that we need to be mindful of the particular needs of the introverted, or quiet, student. But the assumption is often that we ourselves cannot be quiet; the requirements and constraints of the job require us to assume extroverted—or loud—personas. For a long time, I just took this assumption in stride, trying to craft a teaching persona that was louder and more energetic. But in the past year, I've started to wonder why that impulse has been so strong. I'm not questioning the value of the exuberant, loud, extroverted instructor or the specific classroom environment such an instructor creates, because I think that value is very real, but I am questioning the unspoken assumption that the quiet classroom and the quiet instructor are necessarily detrimental to student learning in a discussion-based course. At this point, I think it's probably necessary to clarify what I mean by "quiet instructor." I've been throwing around terms like extroverted and introverted, which are by nature reductive categories, and they might lead one to assume that a quiet instructor is someone who doesn't speak much in their classes. Someone who is shy or reticent, perhaps. That's not quite what I mean. I, personally, talk A LOT in my classrooms. I ask a lot of pesky questions. I give a lot of presentations and mini-lectures. I read passages from our assigned texts aloud, and I ask my students to do the same. Yet nearly every year when evaluation time comes around, I have a student who says something along the lines of "she was nice and taught the material well, but she was quiet." When I say "quiet instructor," what I really mean is someone whose first impulse is not necessarily to engage vocally. Someone whose energy is not always obvious in a physical sense. Someone who embraces quiet space and time in the writing classroom. With my remaining time, I want to think about what's politically at stake when I (and others) embrace loud personas instead of quiet ones. And I want to gesture toward what the quiet persona can specifically offer to a successful writing classroom. So, what's at stake?
I think this question is first and foremost one of representation. And not just in the sense that quiet instructors need to represent the specific value of a quiet identity for quiet students. What's at stake is the representation of alternative ways to engage in discourse. So many of our metaphors for writing and discourse communities in general are vocal ones, which is not only potentially ableist, but also a very narrow way of thinking about the ways in which we, as humans, engage one another productively.
Additionally, I think that failing to explore the potential of the quiet persona contributes to an overemphasis on the IDEAL TEACHER. We feel the pressure to be the ones who stand on desks and recite poetry, the ones who bellows passages from Shakespeare's plays.
Finally, I think that assumptions about what style of engagement makes a good instructor lead many introverted or quiet individuals to adopt more traditional, authoritarian classrooms—which work wonderfully for some of us, but can often be dull or unengaging for others. These assumptions limit our potential.
I've really just begun experimenting with ways to successfully incorporate a quiet praxis within the classroom, so I have no definite answers for what a successful quiet instructor looks like or does. But I do think that a quiet instructor needs, like her or his louder counterparts, to lead by example when it comes to discursive engagement. In the past several terms, I have experimented with this by turning to digital humanities and convergence culture practices for inspiration. If increased digitization means that it is the age of the geek, it also means that it is the age of the introvert. We are able, increasingly, to participate in rich discursive exchanges without so much as opening our mouths. While I won't (and don't want to) move away from in-class verbal discussion any time soon, I am allowing and encouraging both myself and my students to engage one another in increasingly nontraditional, quiet ways, such as Live Tweeting our discussions, using a roulette wheel to determine who responds to a question and in what way, exchanging business letters to supplement face-to-face conferencing and more. As Susan Cain suggested in
, "There's zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas." I think that this is just as true for instructors and pedagogies as it is for students.
