A Story of Struggle to Triumph: 5 Steps to Success
We hear a lot of success stories at FitClub24, but this story of struggle to triumph is probably one of the most memorable. Mark Lachance talks about how we can accomplish great things in life by following these 5 steps to success!
"40 pounds overweight, I have to do this" thought the young lady as she embarked on a seemingly impossible mission.
Thump, thump, thump, step by step gasping for air like a drowning person struggling to stay above the water. Thump, thump, thump, sweat building up all over and pouring off of her head. Thump, thump, thump, step by step on her quest to scale the almost unconquerable mountain.
Prodded on by her coach: "You can do this, let's go, don't give up!!!!" Thump, thump, thump, each step getting her closer to the summit. Conflicting thoughts race in and out of her mind "I can't do it anymore….the pain is far too great….I won't make it…….I got this….I deserve it…..I am a winner….I want more from life….I have to make it…..I won't let myself fail!!!!"
Both negative and positive thoughts populate her brain, but something inexplicable keeps her going. Is it her coach's incredible positive reinforcement? Is it the fact that she can't stand being overweight any longer? Is it the fact that she can't handle not being in control of her life? Is it all of the above?
Thump, thump, thump, Five, Four, Three, Two, One!!! "YOU MADE IT!!!" shouts her coach. The celebration is on! She made it to the top! 575 stairs conquered! The feeling of exhilaration shoots through the air, her coach and a collection of supporters jump in intense joy as step one to her transformation was completed.
Why did Elsy Rauda, like so many other FitClubbers, do it? What makes them reach for the moon and take control of their lives? What did it take for Elsy to not only conquer the mountain on that day but to continue on a quest to get fit and get in the best shape of her life?
The answer lies in the fact that she could not take it any longer! She had enough! She could not stand the fact that she was 40 pounds overweight! She could not stand that her energy levels were at an all-time low! She wanted her confidence, vibrancy and life back and that was it!!!!
Elsy's story of triumph can be applied to any problem or struggle in life. Be it business or personal, any hurdle can be overcome. Do you need to lose weight? Do you have self-esteem problems? Are you having financial issues? Do you want to be world-class? If the answer is yes, then the solution is actually very simple.
First, you need to decide to make a change now! Flip that switch in your brain and go for it. Create so much conviction in your mind so that not making the change is absolutely not an option. Second, get a strong coach or a strong somebody that will provide constant positive support. There are great coaches or friends that have the desire to help you change. Third, be persistent. There will be ups and downs but never give up, keep moving forward by surrounding yourself with positive people, positive stories and positive information. Fourth, get on a regimented system or create daily rituals that will keep you focused on moving forward. Fifth, teach others what you have learned so that it is reinforced in you and remains a part of your life.
In summary, here are the 5 steps to making big changes in your life:
- Decide
- Seek Support
- Be persistent, continually feed the mind positivity
- Create daily rituals
- Teach others what you have done
Do you need to change? What kind of life are you looking to create? The solutions to what you want are very simple, they start with a decision! Elsy did it, so you can too!!!!!!!!!

My Blog Week: August 20 to August 26
All the Latest from Torsade!
This week, the short story "Are You Jealous" concluded, with its fourth and final parts. "Tourmaline" part two was added, by excerpt to post, and full length to page. "Hammersmith" made its return after last appearing July 10. Not to make the parent page a slow-loader, "Hammersmith" continues on a new page. An essay begins a new Curious Reading series, "On Taste" — one not wordy, but with fun visuals. "Tattersby", in the Folly Series, has its ninth entry, wherein the guest confronts Tattersby's rival for the fascinating Lady Gimple. Also, a non-series poem, "Come Back".
Photos on my posts usually have a link to related information, sometimes serious, sometimes whimsical, sometimes in answer to a direct reference, as with Shakespeare's sonnet 116, attached to the signature image in "Are You Jealous" (conclusion). Since people can be leery about clicking links, I include them here: what they are, where they're found.

The Forgotten Argument for Closures in Java
This article is an excellent summary of the various closures proposals for Java 7+.
However, in the opening paragraphs, it implies that the case for closures are:
(a) a closure is a classic, useful programming construct
(b) the cool languages have them and enjoy increased expressive power
This is all well and good.
But Wait
However, there is another argument, as espoused by Neal Gafter (and reported by Alex Miller). Essentially, it is as follows:
- Multicores are coming (the free-lunch is over).
- Brian Goetz is cooking up a new fork-join library for concurrency (JSR 166).
- BGGA closures simplify the API for JSR 166 (as evidenced by a prototype).
(a) do we still want closures, even with this info?
(b) which closure proposal is the best for this simplification?
With respect to (b), it may well be true that the other proposals also simplify the API.
Either way, this is a major motivator and thus a central argument.
The Upshot
Don't be fooled by posts that imply that the closures proposals are "keeping up with Scala or C#" or especially "driven by the elite language lawyers" (which drives me crazy).
As Dick Wall has said, we should assume that all of the key players are earnestly trying to do the right thing for Java.
One of those things is simplifying Java's use of multicores. You may still argue against closures, or BGGA, but be sure to include it in your analysis.
ps. One may well ask for a simple, concrete example of the simplification with BGGA. Alas, I don't have one at hand (the JavaDoc is provided here, but it is not a good illustration). Please post a link in the comments if you have worked with the prototype.

Tempus Fugit
There is not hours in the day is what we often think or say. If I only had enough time, more time, extra time… Time is money. Time is one of the defining aspects of our lives, relative and uncompromising, it flies quickly making our breathing ours shorter. Tempus Fugit is the universally true expression is the main focus of the urban artist from Spain, VinZ, who is about to have a short pop-up exhibition at London's RexRomae gallery. VinZ Feel Free exhibition Tempus Fugit opens on April 24, to run for a week solely, till April 30, 2014.
Contemplating on time, the artist strips humans to their essentials. Time cannot be bought, time is unpredictable, it's intangible value chased by all. Since the moment of birth, a man only becomes older, and his time supply is depleting, leaving him pondering on the ways he used up his precious life once he reaches the end of the road. Time passed is closely related to memories, future to dreams, but sometimes the two intertwine in our subconscious, determining human character. Time is essential. Time is all we want, but can never truly have.
Tempus Fugit
The show will encompass original pieces and preparation sketches for street art, accompanied with photographs of finished works. VinZ was strongly influenced by the British literature of the Romantic period, as his street art represent pictures of short lasting and soiled final period of living. As a counterpart to somewhat bleak impressions from the street, works displayed at the gallery will be glorifications of eternal youth and beauty.
VinZ Feel Free
VinZ was born in 1979 in the Spanish city of Valencia, where he resides and created today. He goes under moniker VinZ Feel Free, because of the Feel Free project he initiated in early 2011. Feel Free project was inspired by the ongoing social crisis, which hit Spain quite hard. Contemplating on the corrupt and rotten old system that produces only negative results in the recent years, the artist found to be living in a gap in which the new system is year to be created. His views that fear, insecurity and instability support repressive means and hold back any progress pushed him to explore ways of living and feeling Free.
Rex Romae
RexRomae is a new addition to the urban art scene of London. The gallery started working this year, and it already realized a couple of interesting shows featuring creatives such as Alexis DIaz and Jaz. The coming exhibitions announce Askew One, Fintan MaGee and VinZ, while the gallery already has an interesting roster of represented urban art creatives including 2501, Alexis Diaz, Askew, Borondo, Da Least, Fintan MaGee, JAZ, Martin Whatson and VinZ. The space offers an innovation in exhibiting, by organizing a schedule of pop-up shows in available spaces all across London, emulating the ephemeral core of street art. RexRomae selection of emerging artists will only be increasing, as we trust the space will prove itself to be an interesting bonus to the thriving London art scene.

Malaysians have been buying properties in countries like the UK or Australia for years. I meant the super wealthy ones with kids studying overseas. For a number of them, the property investments are for the future of their children. A place to stay, for example when their kids are studying overseas. An investment perhaps which could be used as a leverage when their children needs to study overseas would be another example. A hedge versus the currency fluctuations may be another example. At this moment, this group does not include me. As a working professional, it's just not that possible. It's hard to save enough for the 30 percent downpayment these days. Perhaps some top UK universities here in Malaysia may be an easier and better choice since the degree is exactly the same as that obtained in the UK. What about the Chinese (China) buying properties in Malaysia for their children's education?
According to an article in EdgeProp.my, education is one reason why the Chinese are buying properties here. the article quoted Juwai.com which says that with Malaysia's plan of hosting up to 250,000 international students by 2025, it will be a larger driver for Chinese in buying properties here. According to Juwai.com CEO Carrie Law, "Chinese buyer demand in Malaysia is relatively concentrated, with just three cities accounting for the large majority of demand to date. Kuala Lumpur accounts for more than 40% of all buyer enquiries so far this year. It is followed by Johor Bahru and Melaka." Her conclusion? "In the case of Malaysia, if macro, market and regulatory conditions remain positive, the global trends … will drive growing Chinese investment in local property. It is not unrealistic to expect Chinese investment in Malaysian residential real estate to at least double by 2025." (POSITIVE!)
It's easy to note Kuala Lumpur as a main place with lots of action and university as well as Iskandar with its significant progress but Melaka is a pleasant surprise for me. Yes, I do love Melaka! In another report, according to UNESCO, Malaysia is now a top 10 destination for post-secondary education. Many reasons were stated and one of them was the availability of top UK university branch campuses here. For example, Nottingham University, University of Reading, Heriot-Watt University and a lot more as soon as we count in all the franchised programmes as well as the famous 3+0 programmes. Beyond just the UK, we also have many Australian universities too. Monash University, Curtin University of Technology and even Swinburne University. Let's not forget that our local and private universities are also starting to stamp their mark in the international arena too. Keep following!

Contractors Insurance in Rapid City SD & Spearfish SD
Contractors get the job done—but take on a lot of risk while doing it. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that about 4% of all workers in the industry suffer injuries or illnesses—and the resulting costs add up. This is compounded by the many other problems that can occur at a given work site. Due to the many risk factors contractors routinely face in their work, good insurance policies become essential to any successful contractor's operation.
You should also consider how you're going to run your business. For example, running it as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) can help insulate you from cost overruns and avoid putting your personal assets at risk if a claim larger than your policy is filed. Our agents can help you determine the likelihood of hazardous situations to your business and how best to prepare for them.
What a Contractors Insurance Package Covers
Contractor's insurance covers problems typically associated with the risks of construction and renovation projects, including risks to your employees, your work site, and anyone or any equipment involved. Most of these policies are a combination of other policies, often including:
- A Business Owner's Policy
- General Liability Insurance
- Worker's Compensation
- Commercial Vehicle Insurance
From there, what coverage is needed depends on the work that you do. Contractors in different industries often have different insurance needs (and occasionally different requirements, depending on local legislation). First Western Insurance Agency can help you determine which forms of insurance are required for your company and ensure that you're never left exposed.
Contractors Equipment Insurance
Getting a job done takes more than human expertise and a keen eye for detail—you need to have the right tools for the job, or it's probably not going to be finished. However, if something goes wrong and your equipment is damaged or destroyed, you stand to lose a lot of money. This is particularly true if your company operates any larger pieces of equipment (bulldozers, etc.), which are sometimes omitted from normal coverage.
First Western Insurance Agency's goal is to mitigate your risks as much as possible, and the more we know about your equipment, the better the policy we can offer. On request, we can let you know about how certain pieces of equipment are classified, the associated level of risk, and what kind of reimbursements you can expect if something goes wrong.
Contractor Vehicle Insurance
If you're one of the growing number of contractors who use vehicles during a job—not just to get to and from a worksite—then you may need an additional commercial vehicle policy that covers the vehicle(s) you use.
If you don't use your vehicle for commercial purposes, you may be able to lower your monthly premiums by having this coverage removed from your policy. The choice is ultimately yours, but if you're having trouble deciding, our agents can help you figure out whether or not your use of a given vehicle qualifies as a commercial purpose.

Featured Cast & Crew
- Sean Mann (ROY HENRY RINGOLD) Writer/Producer/Co-editor/Actor
- Screenwriter and co-founder of Summer Brew Films, Sean Mann began work in the arts with high school theater where, fittingly, he studied with actor Bob Kunkel. While completing a degree in Economics from West Georgia, Mann took creative writing classes on the side, hoping one day to make comedies better than the ones he was seeing theatrically released. After many drinking promises, Mann and Sawyer collaborated on FreeLance, Mann's first feature screenplay in which he plays one of the three main ensemble roles. He currently teaches high school economics.
- Bob Kunkel (ELLIOT GUILLESPIE/LANCE WINDCHASER)
- Bob has been around theatre for most of his adult life, though how this led to his degree in sports management is still a hotly debated question among his college friends from the University of West Georgia. Kunkel's gifts for physical comedy have long been known to the writers, who wrote the character of Elliott was with an eye toward Kunkel's unique gifts for improvisational acting. An unwilling method actor, Bob channeled a harrowing regimen of intoxication and sleep deprivation into the manic depravity of FreeLance, his off the cuff dynamism often far exceding the directors expectations. FreeLance is Bob's full length feature.
- Jackson Williamson (TOBY)
- Moving from the stage to the screen, Jackson Williamson makes his film featured role debut as the often-pathetic but endearing Toby in FreeLance. A veteran stage actor who trained at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy and has toured with the Georgia Mountain Theater, Williamson's credits include work on The Secret Affairs of Mildred Wild, The Sound of Music, Guys and Dolls, and The Crucible at the Rome Little Theater. He is extremely proud to have been involved in this film and can't wait to see where it goes.
- Drew Sawyer Director/Producer/Editor/Co-Cinematographer
- Drew has been involved in dramatic productions for nearly his entire life. An award winning actor early in high school, it wasn't long before Drew discovered that his true calling lay behind the camera. Drew began producing shorts in high school, manning all aspects of production. A self taught editor and cinematographer, Drew has tried to master all aspects of production, seeking guidance from experts and making their skills his own. After a short stint in film school Drew decided that the path to his dream lay not in theory but in practice. Forming Summerbrew Films with college buddy Sean Mann, they set about bringing FreeLance to life. Drew also slices a mean watermelon. FreeLance is Drews first full length feature.
- Bobby Mallin Co-Cinematographer/Camera Operator

Asports are the reversed phenomena of apports. They represent objects which disappear from seances or rooms in which they are held. Usually asports are not isolated incidences but accompany the apports phenomena.
During a seance held on July 8, 1928 those present felt themselves being tapped by a parchment drum and two individuals Mme. Rossi and Mme. Marquise Louisa felt their hands tightly squeezed by two iron mittens. Following the seance the drum was found in a large salon and the mitten were discovered laying at the foot of a suit of armor from which they had previously been detached. A.G.H.

It's hard to imagine how hard life is for some people, we take so much for granted, and going to the supermarket to buy our supplies is just another chore for many of us. Just imagine though, if you arrived at your store to find people queuing out into the street waiting to get in to the shop; Then once you actually get through the doors, the shelves are bare of the vital products, simple things that were always there to purchase in the past and are now unobtainable, flour, rice, bread, milk, even toilet tissue. What would you do? Well the people of Venezuela are having exactly this problem, through no fault of their own, and they need our help.
Inflation in Venezuela is running at 56% and crime has escalated so much that it's now a dangerous and lawless place to live. Second Life does play an active part in finding out about things that go on in the world through the network of people who meet there. One such lady who is making the most of this virtual world to help the people of Venezuela is Fashion Designer Alejandra Jumanya, known to everyone as Mrs W. Mrs W has her own fashion empire in Second Life called Wetherby's, one of the most successful businesses in the virtual world. Mrs W is very well known for her generosity, throughout the years she has given away (nearly every day) different designer outfits as group gifts. I have a complete wardrobe of Mrs W's beautiful fashions in my own inventory, she is a very talented lady and her fashions are exquisite. So it's not surprising that Mrs W has turned her skills to organising an SL event for some of the people of Venezuela by setting up a charity. The donations will go to her two chosen institutions in Venezuela where people really do need help. Mrs W has gathered some brilliant designer friends who are selling their products for this very good cause. Anyway read below what Mrs W says:
"Thank you for your interest in this Fundraiser. We are raising funds to buy food for these two institutions located in Barquisimeto, Venezuela:
a) Hogar Sagrado Corazon de Jesus (Geriatric)
b) Hogar de Niños Impedidos (Home for Handicapped and Mentally Disabled Adults).
Venezuelans are facing big challenges, with hyperinflation, a minimum salary at about $12 a month, and huge shortages of food and medicine."
You can visit the charity in-world and buy the designer goods, or simply go to the sim to donate some money to help our friends in Venezuela at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Palm%20Coast/240/94/21
Visit Mrs W's website too, where you can also donate, or find out more about what is happening in Venezuela: http://www.gofundme.com/f72t5pzz3k I would strongly recommend that you watch the videos on that page, especially the last one called the Extreme World - Venezuela/2011 documentary.
Please give all that you can to help the people of Venezuela and many thanks to Mrs W and the other Fashion Designers who are doing all they can to make people's lives better in their time of great need. Here are a list of the shops at the charity site in SL:

One of the best smartphones, or phablets if your prefer, the Galaxy Note 2 is finally getting its just rewards from Samsung and Verizon. It was just yesterday that Verizon rolled out the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update to the Samsung Galaxy S3, and today Verizon just keeps on "giving" with their Galaxy Note 2 (SCH-I605) update to the many improvements on Android 4.3. The update has the build number VRUEMJ9 and brings not only Android 4.3, but also the many upgraded Samsung software features that Galaxy Note 3 users have enjoyed for the past three months.
This update includes compatibility with the Galaxy Gear smartwatch, faster performance, KNOX support for those that use their Galaxy Note 2 for work and home, upgraded interface, improved camera firmware, an enhanced Easy Mode home screen for newer users moving up to a smartphone, new additions to the notification center, and new apps like S Voice and a newly improved keyboard.
The update will start rolling out OTA sometime today, but as with all upgrades, it may be a day or two before it reaches your device. For those that cannot wait, the upgrade can be easily obtained via Verizon's computer-based Upgrade Assistant – it is straightforward and easy to follow.
While much is made about the Galaxy Gear compatibility, I doubt that many Galaxy Note 2 customers have purchased the smartwatch at this time. However, there have been other improvements to make "note" of – Extended battery life when using Exchange mail, Apps can be moved to the SD Card (if the developer has this support included), Voicemail notifications, Google maps, and Wi-Fi performance.
Pen Up has been upgraded to the Note 3 version, as well as Multi-Windows and allowance of more apps in the Multi-Windows tray. Bluetooth Smart Ready Low Energy feature has also been enhanced, and Sound and Shot on the camera were improved.
Let us know on our Google+ Page if you have received and upgraded your Galaxy Note 2 to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, how smoothly it went, and if you are enjoying the upgrades that the Galaxy Note series affords you with its software upgrades. Since your Note 2 will now have support for the Galaxy Gear, will you be compelled to purchase Samsung's smartwatch, or are you holding off for the Galaxy Gear 2.

[ABS07] Incremental Specification Validation and Runtime Adaptivity of Distributed Component Information SystemsConférence Internationale avec comité de lecture : CSMR'07, 11th IEEE European Conference on Software Maintenance and Reengineering, Amsterdam, the Netherlands, January 2007, pp.123-137, Series IEEE,
Résumé: Despite all colossal efforts and investments by Information Systems (IS) practitioners and researchers, todays IS still remain far from timely exhibiting the required levels of adaptivity dictated by highly volatile, competitive and inter-organizational ("socio- techno-business") distributed environment. Difficulties in approaching dynamic adaptivity in IS remain essentially on how promoting manageability (e.g. simplicity/understandability/incrementality) without compromising correctness and distribution.
Recapitulating from the wide acceptance and understandability of UML diagrammatical artifacts and the rigorous and distributed capabilities of component-based formalisms, we propose a stepwise approach for de- veloping evolving distributed IS. Staring from UML-OCL descriptions, we smoothly shift them towards a tailored component Petri nets variant we called CO-NETS, where validation is geared by true-concurrent symbolic computations using rewriting logic. Applying ideas from recent AOP techniques, we then incrementally cope with behavioral dynamic changes by conceiving on top of each CO-NETS component and/or coordination a Petri net-based evolutionary aspect-layer and endow it with sound yet simple runtime weaving mechanisms.

Intro Prensa Font Free Download
Within the past ten years, I have used a lot of different WordPress themes and have been very disappointed. Up until recently, I had been utilizing MyThemeShop, which was pretty excellent. But I still had to perform a great deal of customization to make it do and operate the way I wanted it to. A few of weeks ago I decided to give GeneratePress a try, and let me just say, it is undoubtedly the best WordPress theme I have discovered in a decade . I was dismissed and am now moving all my sites to GeneratePress. I will go into exactly why in my comprehensive GeneratePress review under. And if you are wondering, yes I've tried Genesis, Astra, OceanWP, Avada, X theme, Divi in addition to many other lightweight and heavier multicolored themes. Prensa Font Free Download
To Get started, Click here to download GeneratePress.
GeneratePress Evaluation
GeneratePress is a free WordPress theme made by Tom Usborne, a developer from Canada. I've really seen it for many years in the WordPress repository. Most of you realize that I am pretty picky when it comes to web performance, and so I have a tendency to dismiss everything in the repository. Typically because a lot of things on there is not that great, or not encouraged for long. Nonetheless, in this case, that was a mistake. The theme now has over half a million downloads, 80,000+ active matches, with over 500 5-star evaluations. So clearly Tom is doing something right here.
I Actually installed the free version of the theme and in a matter of 15 minutes purchased the premium version. I could tell right off the bat, the programmer was thinking precisely how I was imagining a theme should work. And I will go into that more below, but let us first look at some of the features. I'm going to be covering the premium edition of the theme, since it's worth very penny. In fact, Tom, if you read this and so are visiting Scottsdale, Arizona, java on me.
Super lightweight and quick. Modular design allowing you to enable/disable things you do not need running. This is only one of the greatest reasons I adore GeneratePress.
Responsive, looks great across all of the devices.
Schema built-in, for better outcomes in SERPs.
Impressive integration using all the WordPress Customizer. I have not been a lover of the customizer previously, but Tom does it correctly.
Compatible with all popular plugins, Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, EDD, BuddyPress, bbPress, and WPML. Great browser service back to IE8.
It also works great with all the popular fast-growing Elementor page builder. If you want to dive into even more customizations, these are a terrific combo. I have also read that individuals using Beaver Builder have had success.
Resumes prepared.
Font wonderful built in.
A lot of filters and hooks which make it great for developers.
Excellent active support from the developer. Normally, 3 updates per month.
The Documentation can be unbelievable. Besides have good documentation on their website, the subject has been around long enough that what I Googled during the setup procedure was found inside a couple of seconds from their forum.
Diving Into GeneratePress
Now it's Time for the fun part! I test a brand new theme right out of the box without any customizations to just see how fast the base is. This tells me a lot of what I can expect by the time I add everything for this. Running the inventory GeneratePress WordPress motif on Kinsta hosting clocked in at a whopping 265 ms loading time. I was very impressed.
One Thing I was concerned about with GeneratePress was that the modular design was going to generate a whole lot of big files, but this isn't the case. You can tell that Tom actually worked hard on making sure that every record loaded in GeneratePress is as little as possible. With HTTP/2, the number of documents is not as important. But the dimensions is! Have a peek at some of the center GeneratePress files under:
/generatepress/css/unsemantic-grid. min.css 2.9 KB
/generatepress/style. css 7.1 KB
/generatepress/css/mobile. min.css 1.6 KB
/generatepress/js/navigation. min.js 1.1 KB
/generatepress/js/dropdown. min.js 1.5 KB
This is a developer that cares about functionality! And I've Seen the same throughout each of the premium add-ons. They're literally as small as possible get them. In reality, Font Awesome is probably the largest file contained. And that isn't even his. Together with Font Awesome 5 coming around the cornerwe can anticipate that to get smaller too.
The premium add-ons Are installation in what I'd call a modular design. You can activate/deactivate anything you aren't using to guarantee they don't load on your site. Since the co-developer of this perfmatters plugin that has a script manager built, I felt right at home for this. Everything should be made this way.
If You're curious, I am using the following add-ons on this site:
Page Header
No Child Theme Needed
One of The best features of GeneratePress is that I no longer need to use a young child motif . This makes my life so much simpler. No longer editing my functions.php or header.php documents. I will literally upgrade my GeneratePress motif this exact minute and not lose a single customization. The hooks add-on definitely helps make it possible. It permits you to add custom code/PHP everywhere throughout your WordPress website. Prensa Font Free Download
Other Things I Love About GeneratePress
On each Page/post you have a great deal of options. You are able to change the sidebar layout and the footer widgets.
You Can easily swap a page between the default to a complete width page, as well as disable components.
The WordPress customizer options is really where GeneratePress really shines! Bear in mind, lots of these choices are permitted from the premium add-ons. I can not show you everything, otherwise, we would be here daily. However, allow me to show you couple which actually come in handy.
Responsive Columns
Another Plugin I highly recommend grabbing is your free Lightweight Grid Columns. Not to my surprise, this can be created by precisely the same developer as GeneratePress. It enables you a super simple way to add responsive columns to any page or article. Characteristics include:
Desktop grid thickness
Tablet grid width
Mobile grid thickness
Add Customized courses
Add custom inline designs
Equal height columns
Here is An example below:
You May Want to Also grab his incredible WP Display Posts plugin too. See my featured articles on the sidebar of this website? That is using the WP Show Posts plugin. I have it set to display posts from a specific"featured" category. You can also have it show last modified/updated posts, recent posts, etc.. I'm using the free version and it works terrific.
To Get started, Click here to download GeneratePress.
Sections Add-on
The Segments add-in in the premium version of GeneratePress lets you perform all sorts of things in terms of design. Think of it like a page builder without the bloat. GeneratePress is certainly not only for blogs! I'm in reality using GeneratePress to our ecommerce website (perfmatters.io) that is operating Easy Digital Downloads. Feel free to check it out. But as you can see below, it looks like a blog.
Speed Tests
For all those Of you who are regular readers, you likely didn't even notice that I changed the whole motif that forces woorkup.com. It just took me about an hour for GeneratePress to mimic my MyThemeShop motif which I had spent a year customizing. Here is a comparison below.
woorkup.com Old MyThemeShop Theme
My old MyThemeShop theme was pretty quickly, but I invested a lot of time scrutinizing it. In reality, I have gotten a great deal of emails from you guys asking me to publish all of my customizations. My advice now is, simply get GeneratePress!
woorkup.com New GeneratePress Theme
Together with the New GeneratePress theme I was able to achieve faster speeds and 600 fewer lines of code! And keep in mind, I don't have a kid theme. Each of the customizations were made using the wonderful GP hooks and snippets plugin (both CSS and PHP).
Like the WordPress theme I've running on woorkup? You're in luck. Tom asked if he can create a copy of woorkup to your new GeneratePress blog library. I'm happy to let you know that you can now install my woorkup theme on your own GeneratePress website with just a click! It is called the Marketer theme. Get started using a great blog layout instantly.
brianjackson.io Old Array Theme's Theme
I also Moved over my personal website, brianjackson.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I was using a motif from Array Themes. It is a pretty basic minimum site, since I do not use it for much. Since you can see it loaded pretty fast.
brianjackson.io New GeneratePress Theme
I was Able to duplicate the entire appearance 100 percent in GeneratePress in under one hour. And since you can view it loads even faster! Amazing. I was even able to get rid of a few plugins which weren't needed due to GP.
forgemedia.io Old Array Theme's Theme
I also Moved over our organization site, forgemedia.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I was using a theme from Array Themes. It is a pretty basic minimum site, as we simply use it to our LLC. Since you can see it already loaded pretty quickly. Prensa Font Free Download
forgemedia.io New GeneratePress Theme
I had been Able to again move everything over and get it looking exactly how I needed it in under one hour. And as you can see it loads even faster! Amazing. I was able to eliminate a total of four plugins and it dropped my whole page weight 2x!
I can't express my Excitement about finding GeneratePress and I am moving over all my websites to it (which includes some EDD e-commerce sites). After I've got my 9 sites all running in GP without any child themes, my life is going to be a breeze! The programmer has restored my faith in multi-purpose subjects , which when done the right way, can actually perform quicker.
And The best news is, I finally have a thousand more choices to choose from than I did earlier.
What GeneratePress Is Great For…
GeneratePress Is the perfect alternative for performance-focused users that want to have the ability to customize and control precisely how their site appears.
You Can make GeneratePress do pretty much anything. And since GeneratePress has a focus on functionality, the website that you build will have a great base to make it load quickly.
Because Of that, people who build WordPress sites for a living love GeneratePress. They'll typically pair it with a WordPress site builder and use it for literally any type of site.
But GeneratePress Might Not Be A Fantastic Combination If…
…you Need something that will instantly appear perfect from the box.
For Example, if you realize you wish to produce a fashion blog, you may be happier picking out a market theme that's developed exclusively for fashion bloggers.
Even though GeneratePress is becoming a great deal easier to use, as a result of its pre-built Website Library, GeneratePress still looks very barebones if you initially install it.
So To make GeneratePress look how you want it to, you'll most likely need to go in and personalize matters. And while the significant benefit of GeneratePress is how customizable it is, some users, especially casual users, don't like having to make those changes .
GeneratePress Features That Make It Unique
Here Are some of the particular features that explain why GeneratePress is so popular.
Plenty Of Customization Options From The Real-Time WordPress Customizer
Past Functionality, another place where GeneratePress does well is its customization choices.
GeneratePress Uses the WordPress Customizer for customization, which is convenient because you will have the ability to see all the changes that you make in real time.
The Free variant of GeneratePress provides you decent possibilities, but if you own GeneratePress Premium, you will have the ability to customize pretty much everything about your site.
For Example, if you go into the Design region, you may configure comprehensive settings to yourown:
- Header — you can move your header around and change its own styling
- Navigation — GeneratePress gives you two different navigation options, such as sticky menus
- Sidebar design — you can utilize a Couple of sidebars
- Blog post design — like featured image dimensions, metadata, etc..
- Footer layout — like how many widgets to add
Similarly, That the Typography area enables you to control the font for every single element on your website, such as buttons:
And You also get a detailed region to control the colour of every single element on your website.
All In all, GeneratePress will provide you a lot more customization options from the WordPress Customizer compared to most other topics. This level of detail might be a little overwhelming if you are a beginner. But as soon as you understand the way the settings come together, you will have full control over how your website appears.
Optimized Performance And Quick Page Load Times
Around All its features, GeneratePress consistently includes a focus on excellent performance and clean code. The whole theme is less than 30 kB, which is about as little as you are ever going to find for a WordPress theme. Even most other optimized WordPress topics are still 200+ kB. And some badly coded topics can even exceed 1 MB!
GeneratePress Also does not have any code dependencies, which will help you avoid the render obstructing error that Google Pagespeed Insights often mentions.
Place That together, and you obtain a superfast-loading motif. How fast? To give you a sense, I conducted a little test.
First, I put up a vacant website using a random popular WordPress.org theme (Envo Magazine). After analyzing its functionality with Pingdom, it:
- Had a performance tier of 77
- Loaded in 1.05 seconds
- Had a page size of 243.9 kB
- Had 15 requests
That's Not bad in any way! However, GeneratePress can do better.
Next, I triggered GeneratePress on exactly the same test website without altering anything else. Here is how GeneratePress did:
- Had a performance grade of 87, 10 points greater
- Loaded in 666 ms, ~37% faster
- Had a page size of 26.8 kB, ~90% smaller
- Had 9 requests, ~40% fewer
If You do that same test with other topics, you'll continue to see that GeneratePress is one of those fastest-loading WordPress topics in existence. Prensa Font Free Download
Other Useful Premium Extensions, Plus Much Modular Approach
Past Giving you more design controls in the WordPress Customizer, GeneratePress Premium comes with a lot of other helpful features like:
- Elements — a exceptional feature which lets you create custom hooks, page headers, or layout templates.
- Page Header — lets you create a unique page header onto a per-page basis.
- Sections — this is sort of like lightweight page construction. It lets you create separate"sections" onto a webpage, each with their own layout and column preferences.
To Stay lightweight, GeneratePress also provides you a modular interface where you could pick and choose what characteristics you would like to activate.
That Way, you don't need to slow your site down for a feature which you'll never use.
Pre-Made Starter Sites Make It Easier To Design Your Website
In The past, you needed to build GeneratePress sites from a blank canvas regardless of what, which left the motif difficult for casual users to set up.
Earlier In 2018, however, the developer added a fresh Website Library attribute for GeneratePress Premium users that allows you easily import any one of those 25+ pre-built demonstration websites .
You Can import them directly from your WordPress dashboard.
Yes this Website still uses GeneratePress! All I did was click a couple buttons to import a demo site.
Page-Level Settings Provide You Detailed Control Over Every Piece Of Content
With Most themes, every page and post will use the same configurations for the most part. You might have some custom templates or formats — however you do not have very much control past that.
GeneratePress Changes that by providing you a new Layout meta box for every single post and page:
You Can utilize this meta box to:
- Change how many sidebars your website uses, or the sidebar orientation (such as changing the sidebar from right to left)
- Choose how many footer widgets to utilize
- Disable certain elements, like your header, navigation menu, article featured image, article title, or footer
- Produce a special"container" for your own page builder
Where These controls would be the most helpful is if you're using a WordPress page builder.
By Disabling certain components, you are in a position to produce the proper baseline for your own page builder layout, making it easy to create custom articles as needed. Prensa Font Free Download
GeneratePress Replies: Affordable And Works On Unlimited Sites
The Heart GeneratePress theme can be obtained for free at WordPress.org.
That said, If you are seriously interested in utilizing GeneratePress, I feel you should purchase the GeneratePress Premium plugin, as that's what produces the theme so elastic. The free version does not give you almost as numerous settings from the WordPress Customizer. And you will also miss out on the premade Site Library.
GeneratePress Premium can be still quite affordable. It costs just $39.95, and that provides you use on unlimited sites. You will also get a 40% discount if you want to renew to keep on receiving support and updates following the initial year (you can, of course, keep using GeneratePress following the initial year without renewing — you just won't get any more upgrades ).
When You consider the typical premium WordPress theme will usually cost around $60, GeneratePress provides a great value.
As I mentioned, I don't believe GeneratePress is for everybody.
If You desire a niche-specific motif, you can probably save time by buying a theme that fits your requirements for your market out of day one.
But If you're ready to spend time altering preferences, then GeneratePress' style controls give you the flexibility to turn it into any type of WordPress site. Or, you may even be able to find a starter website that fulfills your needs to save some time.
Additionally, It's one of those fastest-loading WordPress topics you will find. Therefore, if you're seeking the best performance possible, utilizing GeneratePress as your WordPress site's base is a great decision.
If You blend it with fast-loading hosting, you shouldn't have any problem making your site load in under one minute. Prensa Font Free Download

Rated 2 out of 5 by Pat K from Disappointed..... The fit is good and the material is nice, but the oversized collar does not hang right and I don't know what to do with it. Do I fold it over? Do I leave it unzipped? Doesn't work either way. I mistakenly bought this under no return policy....unable to return.....expensive lesson.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Traveler from Velour jacket I purchased this jacket several years ago. It has been a staple in my wardrobe. It is a reliable jacket for most any occasion. I decided that a second one would insure that I would have a backup. I will be traveling on a long plane flight in the near future. I plan to wear it on the plane. It resists wrinkling and is quite comfortable.

We have never had such compassionate, caring, doctors who would take the time to explain care to the patient and family, making sure we understood. They have the patience answering any and all questions, always available and receiving a quick response. They treated us like their family.
I think I am coming up on my fifth year anniversary as one of your most devoted patients. Along with my dear departed wife Grace, I am impelled to express my sincere gratitude and admiration for the wonderful doctors Stephens and their incredible professional care and loving friendship. The ultra beauty of their Practice is their near instant appearance in your own home with all the necessary items needed for any health care situation, including surgery and hospitalization. At the age of 92 I feel secure and totally protected in every respect at all times and have the wonderful added advantage of never having to leave my own home. My experience has taught me that there are no doctors more efficient or experienced than my own Doctors Brian and Tea Stephens. They keep me safe along with the dedicated members of the staff.
Dearest Brain and Tea, just a short note to tell you both how much my family has grown to trust and love you, not just for your medical talents, not just for your compassionate delivery of the status our ailments but most importantly how much you care for each and every one of us.. You have always been there for us in some of our darkest hours and this was a timely opportunity for me to be able to put it down on paper. Love from all the Shaw's
Doctors Brian and Tea Stephens are not just good doctors , they are great doctors. I can't say enough about the care they have given both my mother and father! They are exceptional. We are so grateful that we found their practice. They are smart, caring, and always go above and beyond. So Loving and so responsive. They are exceptional people and doctors.
This note comes to you with my deepest, heartfelt thanks. The compassion and care that you showed my dear, sweet Mom is beyond what I could have ever hoped for her…it is what she so deserved! Your in-home medical care allowed her to enjoy going out with friends and family, which she loved rather than going to doctors appointments, which she did not. Mom was not a big fan of going to the doctor even in her younger days…so you made excellent medical care possible for her without it being a "chore". I also want you to know how much I appreciated your phone calls and emails to me. You always helped me know exactly what was going on, what our choices were and what needed to be done!I truly think that finding you was a gift and one that I will always cherish.
When our mom moved to Jacksonville and into assisted living, we needed to find a new group of doctors. We quickly learned that typical Medicare medical treatment was wholly inadequate and potentially troublesome. Little Black Bag Medical has been the best connection we could make for our mom. Over the past 7 years, Drs Tea and Brian have provided hands-on monthly care, coordination of medication and home health care, and most importantly, been on call for crisis care, like a broken ankle on the 4th of July. Thank you Drs Stephens for giving mom the health care she needs, and the assurance we need.
Having moved my elderly mother into an assisted living facility, we were so very fortunate to have been referred to Little Black Bag Medical. Finding a physician in a new medical community is challenging, and we are so grateful to have Doctors' Brian and Tea Stephens looking after her. There are not enough superlatives to describe the quality of care received by my mother. By making "house calls," Little Black Bag Medical offers individualized and personalized treatment and follow-up, so often lacking in many of today's medical practices. To say that they are knowledgeable is a given, but add in excellent communication and familiarity with the complexities of our health care system, combined with respect for their patients and caregivers, makes us confident that we have entrusted the care of our loved one to the best for her and for us.
We had the privilege of Drs. Tea and Brian caring for both of our mothers in the final months and days of their lives. They brought tremendous confidence and comfort to them and our family. They were quick to respond to our contacts and patiently answered our questions. Their medical skill, professionalism and kind, peaceful demeanors were priceless during difficult times. We are so confident in them and their care that we have become patients!!!
Both of my elderly parents have been patients of Dr. Brian and Dr. Tea. It was such a relief when we could stop the hassle of transporting them to doctors' offices for appointments; and we knew they were being seen regularly enough by the Stephens' for their progress to be carefully tracked. Dr. Brian took a great deal of time with us to explain options and offer support when my father's health began to decline. Dr. Tea and Dr. Brian were always available by phone, whether for an emergency or just answering a question. We will always attribute our mother's continued longevity, even after life-threatening medical issues, to answered prayer. That prayer supplied us with the attentive care and thoughtful expertise of Dr. Brian and Dr. Tea.
Joining the Black Bag Concierge Medical service of Dr's Tea and Brian Stephens has provided my family with excellent care, quick appointments,house calls, efficient prescription management and referrals to top specialists.The decision to go with a concierge practice came after difficulties in caring for my 90 year old mother. With long waits for appointments, getting her to the appointments then dealing with a busy staff trying to handle prescriptions and referrals. Dr.s' Brian and Tea respond to requests for an appointment within hours, visit my mother in her apartment, even checking in on her on occasion. After witnessing the wonderful medical care my mother received we decided to turn our care over to Dr.s' Tea and Brian Stephens. We too receive excellent personalized care. We can't imagine having to go back to those days of busy waiting rooms and long waits to see a physician.

Kantha Throw FAQ
A Kantha Throw is a hand-made 100% reprocessed cotton quilt made from Indian saris which are hand stitched together in a traditional running stitch. It is one of the oldest known forms of up-cycling and is considered in Indian culture a symbol of protection.
1) What can I expect when I order a Kantha Throw; are they all the same? No. Colors, patterns, patches & stitching vary as each is one-of-a-kind, handmade item of cultural art and heritage.
2) I ordered an [X] colored throw but the one that arrived is not [X], it is [Y]. Kantha throws do not come in standard colors. We try to group them the best we can according to color categories; however, this is unfortunately only a vague way to describe the far differentiating beauty of each unique Kantha Throw.
3) What color categories do the Kantha Collection Throws come in? The color categories are: 1 - Reds: The red category can range from red, to pink and purple. 2 - Blue: The blue category may incorporate Aqua tones, Purples and Turquoise 3 - Green: The green category is predominantly green with variations towards earth tones. 4 - Yellow: The yellow category is predominantly yellow and may vary to orange. 5 - Neutral: Neutral colors are mainly earth tones, but may incorporate any other faded/neutral colors we believe would fit in most any room or outing situation.
4) Every color category states it is color [X]Multi, what does this mean? All Kantha throws incorporate multiple colors into their design. India boasts a colorful culture and this is evident in these authentic Kantha Throws. Multiple Saris are stitched together to make a single Kantha Throw. Though we organize the throws based on the 5 color categories, other colors may be present, either in the pattern, stitching or actual fabric color.
5) My Kantha Throw looks old and faded. All of our Kantha Throws are authentic vintage hand-made products of India. A faded look is not only normal, it is also one of the desirable qualities of this product brought about by years of use and washing of the Sari.
6) My Kantha Throw looks used and/or dirty. All of our Kantha Throws are vintage Indian handmade products. They are made from re-purposed 100% cotton Sari dresses. As such they are, in retrospect, used. However, each Sari has been washed and has not been used in its Kantha Throw form.
7) I ordered multiple Kantha Throws but they are not the same size. We do try our best to ensure a standard is maintained, however, given the nature of the product we cannot guarantee that all Kantha Throws will be one size; this is in no small part due to the sizes of the reprocessed Sari dresses ranging.
8) Are there any environmental/community benefits to Kantha Throws? Yes! All of our Kantha Throws are sourced from India, where the sale benefits the women artists who make them in one of the most disadvantaged areas in the world. Furthermore, because they are 100% reclaimed/recycled cotton from Sari dresses, they benefit the environment too! For more information about the beautiful story of Kantha-
9) Do I get the throw that I have selected by image or do you send me something within a similar color range? While the aim is to send you the exact pictured by thumbnail selection 100% of the time, as each item is a one of a kind, we do reserve the right to send you a similar matching colorway selection in the event we are unable to locate the original item due to fulfillment errors.
10) Can I use my Kantha Throw other than as a throw or bedding? Yes! Our throws are regularly used for upholstery and DIY projects.
We recommended:
Couch 8-10 throws
Chairs (Wingback style or equivalent size) : 3-4 throws
Chair Cushion: 1 Throw
Pillow Case 1 Throw for 2 pillowcases
11) . How do I take care of my Kantha Throw? KANTHA PRODUCTS ARE MACHINE WASHABLE, GENTLE CYCLE AND CAN BE MACHINE DRIED GENTLY!

Digital ecosystem utilisation
Currently, only a fraction of the plant protection products applied successfully tackles pests or insects, while the rest unnecessarily pollutes the environment. By utilising data stemming from IoT devices in the field, cloud computing and analytics technologies, this use case timely notifies the farmer to proceed with such activities. The result from synergised parameters such as air humidity, temperature and other weather conditions is a service which increases the total farm productivity, contributing to food security for an increasingly populated world. Furthermore, information tailored to farmers' individual needs lowers their resource costs through early warnings regarding crucial factors in irrigation. By incorporating innovative traceability technology, this use case is among the first to integrate information from the entire food value chain (from farm to shelf) to a marketplace, offering elaborate value propositions to users. Hence, it significantly improves consumers' perception of food safety while enabling stakeholders in the agri-food sector to participate in an innovative digital ecosystem.
plant protection products
Specific goals
- Achieve traceability throughout the entire value chain by incorporating traceability technology developed within the IoF2020 use case Meat Transparency and Traceability;

- Heterogeneity of technological combinations and testing sites to facilitate uptake;
- Validate results to reduce plant protection product application and increase irrigation efficiency;
- Enable data-access for consumers to acquire information about products;
- Strengthen data sharing within agri-food's value chain with respect to privacy and security.
Expected results
- Irrigation water -10%
- Use of pesticides -10%
- Increased total factor productivity of farms
- Reduced costs -10%
- Improved consumer trust
- Boosted farm sustainability
- Strengthened data privacy and security

Title: Evans, William
Source text: The Medical and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion. (1861-65.), Part 2, Volume 1 (Washington, DC: Government Printing Office, 1879), 196.
Civil War Washington ID: med.d1e41539
TEI/XML: med.d1e41539.xml
Case from the case-book of the THIRD DIVISION of the ALEXANDRIA HOSPITAL, Surgeon Edwin Bentley, U. S. V., in charge:⃰
CASE 490.—Private William Evans, company E, 152d New York volunteers; admitted from regimental hospital October 17, 1863. Chronic diarrhœa of eight months duration. The patient was extremely debilitated, and had a severe cough. Treatment: Tonics, alteratives, opiates, blisters to the abdomen. Died, November 2d. Autopsy: Body greatly emaciated. The lower lobe of the left lung was congested; the rest of the left lung and the whole of the right were healthy. Some thickening of the stomach was observed around the pyloric orifice. The mucous membrane of the ileum was softened, and near the ileo-cæcal valve it was ulcerated. The whole colon was very much contracted.
⃰ It is to be regretted that, in most instances, the records of this hospital do not show by whom the autopsies were made. It is known that many of them were made by Surgeon Bentley himself, or under his immediate supervision, but it is only possible to distinguish these from the others in a few cases.

Last week Coach Musselman gave each one of his players a personalized letter before the start of the new season. Before practice, Pack players saw a letter in each of their lockers written by their head coach. In the letters, Coach Musselman wrote about his goals and expectations for each player this upcoming season.
He described how each player can exploit their strengths, as well as improve other parts of their game in the effort to become a complete, versatile, all-around basketball player.
Coach Musselman makes a conscious effort to have strong relationships with his players. He takes time before and after every practice to talk with his players about things going on both on and off the court.
"I want to make sure each one of our Nevada players knows how much we care about them and how much we value personal development here," Coach Musselman said, "Every day we are trying to find ways to get 1% better than we were yesterday. These letters are a great way for our guys to see some their goals and expectations written out on paper and that's the first step to actually going out and achieving them."
The players all kept the letters in their locker as motivation and as a reminder of what they have to focus on for this upcoming season.
The Pack have their season opener at home tonight versus Idaho at 7:00 p.m.

When a supermarket chain announces it's releasing a new smartphone for kids, we imagine a low-cost, high-colour handset with squishy edges and a catchy name.
Tesco's announcement has disappointed us on all of these fronts. The phone is called IMO S2, which we forgot literally as we were writing it, and comes in a family-friendly range of hues including black, black, and black.
At the time the supermarket's press release went out, they seemed to have forgotten to finish the website for the IMO S2, whose OS is called Monqi. This is the banner at the top:
That's not the IMO S2, is it? That's an iPhone. In fact, that's a stock image.
They also seem to have forgotten all the rest of the images, with giant blank spaces next to the badly-written text – note the unnecessary question mark in the headline and the missing apostrophe on the button:
That button doesn't do anything, by the way: it just takes you to the main Tesco Mobile site.
We could go on. But terrible website aside, the IMO S2 is also not especially cheap: £99 SIM-free or £12 a month for 2 years. That's not expensive by smartphone standards, but considering the point of this phone is to hobble a lot of the functionality so kids don't run amok on the app store, it's not cheap – you can get an Alcatel phone for under £50 these days.
The blurb about the phone concentrates more on what it can't do than what it can:
- Block apps, calls, texts, data usage or the entire phone remotely either manually or during scheduled times or specific locations
- Track where their child is at all times – perfect for preparing children to walk home on their own
- Set time slots and specific locations for when the phone can/can't be accessed. This feature also allows the phone to be locked or blocked remotely
- Control who the phone can be used to contact thanks to a dedicated contacts app that requires parental approval upon entering new contacts
- Kids can safely browse the internet without ever encountering content intended for those over 12, whether the phone is connected via mobile data or WiFi.
- They can also access over 1500+ pre-approved apps on the Jungle store, with no ads or in-app purchases.
Maybe they'd have been better off with a Nokia 3310.
Specs-wise, you get:
- 5-inch HD display
- Quad-core chipset
- 16GB storage
- MicroSD slot
- 13MP rear camera
- 5MP front-facing camera
- 2,600mAh battery
Obviously specs aren't the point of the phone, but we do question the decision to include two cameras and a microSD slot if this is all about privacy and safety. Why block certain content on the phone if you can just whack a memory card in with anything on it? If you can't trust a kid to use the app store, should you be giving them unmonitored access to two HD cameras?
Tesco's statement doesn't tell us much:
"We know how important giving a child their first phone is and the issues parents face as a result. That's why we're offering monqi on the IMO S2, so when our customers decide the time is right to give their child a mobile phone, we're there to offer them a solution that keeps everyone in the family happy."
The phone will be available from the 26th of November, and you'll be able to register your interest online when Tesco fixes the button so it actually points to something useful.
These are definitely the people you should trust with your kids' digital safety. Mmhmm.

Most of a musician's time is spent honing their craft, preparing for shows, and playing performances. However, once the shows are over, it can be hard for musicians to handle the inevitable crash felt after riding that live music high. Musicians looking to overcome this musician's malady should try the following ideas.
Watch Show Highlights
It isn't uncommon for musicians to fail to acknowledge how incredible their achievements are. Instead of remembering each performance for the experience it was, these memories often fade away and the moment begins to lose its wonder. Watching old highlight reels from past performances gives musicians another opportunity to review their playing and their favorite performances. Instead of being sad that another show has ended, you can spend your time reliving the good days via your highlight reels.
Smoke to Relax
The long-held tradition of smoking after shows and during practice sessions is almost an expected ritual for most musicians. While the substance that is smoked may vary depending on the artist's particular preferences, the act of smoking solo or together is an effective way to wind down. For many musicians, smoking Black and Mild cigars can calm their nerves, ease the mind, and allow them to truly unwind after they've played a show.
Enjoy a Bar Night with Friends
Whether it's at a dive bar or a nightclub, a night out with friends is a good way to take your mind off of any stressful, uncomfortable, or anxious thoughts. Whether the time is spent dancing the night away with friends or drinking and talking about past shows, musicians should take a night or two after a performance to really let their hair down. This can help reduce the stress that comes with performing and help keep things loose.
Listen to Old Albums
Musicians that are reminiscing for the good old days can tap into the power of nostalgia again by listing to old albums. These old albums can be recordings from their earlier days as a young band or solo artists or they can be the work of their favorite musicians that inspired them to start playing music. As they are reminded of why they began playing music in the first place, they'll break out of the malady and become motivated to get ready for their next performance.
There's nothing that compares to the feeling of performing on stage in front of an audience. Musicians should do all they can to soak in this amazing feeling by keeping these tips in mind.[from http://bit.ly/1n4oEI8]

Sex Differences in U5MR: Estimation and Identification of Countries with Outlying Levels or Trends
Leontine Alkema, National University of Singapore
Cheryl C. Sawyer, United Nations
Under natural circumstances, the ratio of the male to female under-five mortality rate is greater than one. However, deprivation of girls' access to health care or proper nutrition could lead to distorted ratios of under-five mortality. Monitoring of mortality by sex is challenging because of issues with data availability and quality. Moreover, the sex ratio is expected to vary with under-five mortality, which makes it challenging to define "expected levels". We present a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate the sex ratio of under-five mortality for all countries. In addition, we estimate the relative difference between national sex ratios and expected sex ratios based on the global relation between under-five mortality and the sex ratio. All estimates include an uncertainty assessment to enable assessments of whether differences between countries or within countries over time are significant or highly uncertain. Preliminary results suggest that girls may be disadvantaged in several countries.

Every manufacturer recommends a different auto maintenance for their vehicles. You can locate this in your vehicle guide.

You will still need to pay out of pocket for any factory recommended maintenance.

We offer free estimates before any performing any work on your vehicle. We will do everything possible to repair your vehicle quickly with quality replacement parts at a reasonable prices.
