Christians Ought to Hold on to Tradition It's difficult to articulate why Christians ought to hold to tradition. Often, I'm misunderstood as defending traditionalism. I don't mean that we ought to defend tradition for tradition's sake. Rather, I wish to communicate a kind of guardedness against sudden change as well as a sense of worth […]

You've Got to Stand for Something
Acorns and nuts A preacher would often quote a portion of 1 Corinthians 16:13 at his convenience. "Quit ye like men", he would say, especially when he was coercing, threatening, or otherwise manipulating someone in the audience. His bloviating wasn't usually successful considering its less than manly mouthpiece. But, as is the case periodically with […]

- Supply of the product or service does not infringe any third party intellectual property rights
- Where suppliers provide contractors or staff to carry out work at GVL premises, such persons operate in an acceptable and safe manner without undue risks to themselves, GVL employees or others, and the health, safety and other essential arrangements pertaining at the site where they are operating are fully communicated
- Developing long-term relationships where it is practical to do so
- Assisting suppliers in their development by assessing their capabilities
- Requiring our employees to act with integrity at all times when representing GVL with suppliers
- Ensuring that suppliers are paid in accordance with agreed terms
- Determining through clear contractual arrangements the ownership of any intellectual property rights arising from the supply of the product/service
- Avoiding situations that create conflicts of interest for organizations and/or their employees
- Not tolerating corrupt practices or the acceptance of bribes, other unauthorized payments or inducements from suppliers or potential suppliers
- Safeguarding the ownership and security of the property and confidential information of the supplier
- Balance the economic needs to utilize low cost sources with the desire to support local commerce. Where low cost sources are used, they will be subject to all requirements set out above

Swansea boss Carlos Carvalhal remains confident that his side can progress to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup after his side were held to a goalless draw by a stubborn Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
The FA Cup fifth round tie will be replayed at the Liberty Stadium after neither team were able to break the deadlock in what was a game of few chances and little quality.
"We will have another game and we will have another chance to progress to the next stage."https://t.co/58bRTJdLPH— Swansea City AFC (@SwansOfficial) February 17, 2018
Carvalhal left the Owls in December with the club in 15th place and without a victory in seven games. Nevertheless, he had previously guided the Championship outfit to two consecutive play-off finishes and the warm Hillsborough reception confirmed that his three-year tenure is fondly remembered by many in Sheffield.
His return might not have panned out as well as he would have hoped for, but the former Besiktas boss was nonetheless pleased with the fact his side remains in the cup: "We have another replay. It's a bit like Police Academy. You have the first one, then Police Academy 2, then Police Academy 3," Carvalhal told Swansea's official website.
"But it's the reality that we have to play another replay and that's okay. We are still in the cup and that' a positive.
We will play @SpursOfficial or @officiallydale in the quarter-finals of @EmiratesFACup providing we beat @swfc! 🏆— Swansea City AFC (@SwansOfficial) February 17, 2018
Tie to be played between March 16 and 19. pic.twitter.com/DicXtCYfiY
"We will have another game and we will have another chance to progress to the next stage. I have said before that we are underdogs in this competition. That's not because we are weak, but it's because our main competition is the Premier League.
"We are still in the competition because my players are competitors and they always try to win.
"Credit to Sheffield Wednesday, they pressed us in the first 20 minutes and they made it difficult for us," Carvalhal added.
We'll see you at the @LibertyStadium, @swfc! 🏆— Swansea City AFC (@SwansOfficial) February 17, 2018

"We made some changes and it's not easy to play with the same dynamic when you do that. But after 20 minutes we started to control the ball and the second half was different. We played better – we moved the ball to the right and to the left and we blocked their counter-attacks well.
"The end result is fair, though, so let's go to another game – Police Academy 3."

The United States, Britain, France and Russia are competing for contracts in the nuclear energy bonanza that is emerging in the Middle East as Arab states seek to generate more power to feed their growing economies and to build desalination plants, a vital element in development plans as water resources shrink.
Saudi Arabia's minister of water and electricity, Abdullah bin Andul-Rahman al-Hussein, told the kingdom's al-Watan newspaper in late August that Riyadh was working on plans for its first nuclear plant.
Saudi Arabia and the neighboring United Arab Emirates signed preliminary agreements with the United States for nuclear technology in 2008.
In May, France's economy minister, Christine Lagarde, said Paris was close to finalizing a nuclear energy cooperation agreement with the United Arab Emirates. In 2007, France also pledged to help Morocco, a former colony, and Qatar, another of the Gulf states, to develop their nuclear programs.
The U.
A.E. is the furthest along among the six member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council - which also includes Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain - although Riyadh's plans are accelerating.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy visited the U.A.E. in May to open France's first military base in the Gulf - and to promote a French consortium's bid to secure a $40 billion deal to build at least four, and possibly six, reactors.
The French consortium, which includes Areva, GdF Suez and Total, is the front-runner for the winner-takes-all contract.
Other bidders are General Electric of the United States with Hitachi of Japan, and the Korea Electric Power Corp. with Hyundai Engineering and Samsung C&T Corp.
The Gulf states are all major oil producers, Saudi Arabia is the world's leading exporter, and the U.A.E. is the third-ranked producer.
But they, and their fellow Arabs, are finding that their economic development is outstripping their power generation capabilities, hence the focus on nuclear energy.
In Egypt, energy demand is growing by 7 percent a year. Even the oil-rich Gulf states are suffering power cuts these days.
The U.A.E. hopes to have its first nuclear plant online by 2015, although industry sources say that may be way too optimistic. It takes on average eight years - and $4 billion - to construct a reactor plant.
Two years ago, there was little interest in nuclear energy around the Arab world. But now that's all changed - to a large degree because of what's happening in Iran.
Apart from the six Gulf states, Tunisia, Libya, Jordan, Egypt and even impoverished Yemen are also committed to pursuing nuclear energy programs.
"The rules have changes," King Abdullah II of Jordan recently told Israeli daily Haaretz. "Everybody's going for nuclear programs."
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin signed a deal in 2008 that cleared the way for Russian involvement in building four nuclear power plants in the Arab world's most populous nation. The first, on the Mediterranean coast, is expected to cost $1.5 billion.
In August, Putin approved a draft plan for Russia, which is building Iran's first plant at Bushehr on the northern Gulf coast despite U.S. objections, to cooperate with Turkey to develop a nuclear power facility near its Mediterranean coast.
The Middle Eastern states say they do not seek to acquire nuclear weapons, as the Americans and their allies say Iran does.
But the United States and Israel, the only regional state to have nuclear arms, fear that some Arab states will eventually seek to develop uranium enrichment programs to counter Iran's allegedly clandestine efforts.
Egypt, Libya and Algeria were all suspected proliferation risks, with the help of China, Argentina, North Korea and others, at various times up until five years ago.
Israeli warplanes bombed a suspected nuclear reactor built by North Korea in Syria in September 2007.
The U.S. Congress has expressed considerable disquiet about Washington helping the U.A.E. because the emirates are key trading partners with Iran. The fear is that U.S.-supplied technology and know-how could find its way across the Gulf to the Islamic Republic.

The scope of the present volume extends from 1617 to 1620. The islands
are still ravaged at intervals by the Moro pirates from the southern
part of the archipelago. Even worse are the losses to the commerce of
the islands inflicted by the Dutch; their ships infest the seas about
Luzуn, and those of the Moluccas, in which region they are steadily and
even rapidly gaining foothold, and securing the best commerce of those
lands. Corruption in the management of the Spanish interests in the
Spice Islands renders them an expensive and embarrassing possession;
and the new governor, Fajardo, finds the same influence at work in
the Spanish colony itself, especially among the auditors and other
high officials. The colonial treasury is, as usual, short of funds,
and can do little to defend the islands from the Dutch; the Madrid
government is unwilling to spend much more on the Philippines, although
beset with importunities to save that colony, and Spanish commerce
generally, from the insolent Dutch. The usual building of ships in the
islands has so harrassed and exhausted the unfortunate natives that
it is necessary to have ships built for the Philippines in India and
other countries where timber and labor are more abundant. The trade of
the colony with China is the object of much discussion, and proposals
are again made to restrict it, as well as that with Nueva Espaсa, in
order to protect the commercial interests of the mother-country. In
the final document is a detailed statement, in vigorous language,
of the abuses current in the administration of the islands--arbitrary
and oppressive conduct of the auditors, corruption among officials,
extravagant expenditure of public funds, lax enforcement of laws,
burdensome exactions imposed upon the Indians, and Chinese, etc.;
for these the citizens demand redress, prevention, and relief.
Andrйs de Alcaraz, the auditor in charge of military affairs after
Silva's death, writes to the king (August 10, 1617). The ships
could not go to Nueva Espaсa in 1616, because the Dutch were lying
in wait for them; but the Acapulco galleon arrives safely at Manila,
and brings money to relieve the general distress. Alcaraz makes ready,
although in the midst of great difficulties, a fleet to drive away the
Dutch. On April 14, 1617, this Spanish fleet has a battle with the
Dutch squadron at Playa Honda. After a long and fierce contest, the
enemy take to flight, having lost several ships and much artillery,
and many of their men being killed or wounded. As soon as possible
thereafter, Alcaraz sends supplies to the Spanish forts in Ternate;
recalls Geronimo de Silva to Manila, to act as governor _ad interim_;
and despatches pilots to meet the fleet that is coming from Spain via
Cape of Good Hope. He criticizes Geronimo de Silva for his harshness
and arrogance, already displayed in many ways. Alcaraz thanks the
king for permitting him to resign his position as auditor and return
to Spain; and explains why he has not yet vacated his office. He
mentions the Philippine officials who have merited special rewards
from the crown, especially those who were prominent in the battle of
Playa Honda. Reлnforcements of men have come from Spain, but with them
was no money; and the treasury of the islands is entirely empty. Its
debts are heavy, and aid is urgently requested. Through sickness and
absence, there are no auditors of the Audiencia in active service,
except Alcaraz himself.
A document unsigned and undated [_ca._ 1617] discusses the trade of
the Spanish colonies with China and Japan. This trade advances the
interests of religion in those heathen lands. Its character, methods,
and results are described in orderly array of interesting facts--first
in a general survey, then in details regarding each colony; and finally
in comparisons between the commerce of those colonies respectively
with China and Japan. Eastern India depends on this trade for its
maintenance and preservation; and the customs duties therefrom cause
larger profits to the crown than do those from the other colonies. This
income will be greatly increased, for both Castilla and Portugal, if
Nueva Espaсa and Filipinas be no longer allowed to trade with China and
Japan. The writer (apparently one of the king's councilors) suggests
various expedients for attaining this end, and closes by urging the
king to confine the Filipinas merchants to trade with Nueva Espaсa.
The events of the year from June, 1617, to June, 1618, are chronicled
by some unnamed writer (apparently one of the Jesuits in Manila). The
battle of Playa Honda deals such a blow to the Dutch power in the
archipelago that the natives in some of the Malucas Islands rebel
against it. A small English post is destroyed by the Dutch; and their
ships that flee from Playa Honda go to Japan. Their adventures in
that country are detailed. Some Dutch ships come again to the coast
of Luzуn, and plunder the Chinese trading vessels as they appear;
the Spaniards cannot prevent this, as their galleons are laid up for
repairs. A shipload of supplies for the garrison and the missions at
Ternate is sent from Manila; the master of the ship, taking advantage
of the absence on shore of part of the passengers and men, steals away
with the ship and its cargo. The Jesuits secure a new supply of food
for their mission, by soliciting alms. The islands still suffer from
the depredations of the Moro pirates. The writer describes the special
festivities in honor of the Virgin Mary, and the martyrdom of some
missionaries in Japan. He then proceeds to relate the particulars of
the murder of the Augustinian provincial, Vicente Sepulveda, by some
of his own friars, and the punishment of the criminals. A postscript
to this letter states that the ships sent to Ternate with supplies
had been attacked by the Dutch; and part of the crew were killed and
wounded, and much of the food lost. Other supplies, however, have
been sent to Ternate from India. The prince of Tidore has become
hostile to the Dutch. One Sequeira makes an unsuccessful voyage,
and dies in Cochin. The new governor of the Philippines arrives at
Manila in July, 1618.
Of nearly the same date is a descriptive account of the Philippine
Islands, their inhabitants, government, products, etc.--including a
statement of the number of Indian tributes in each island, which amount
in all to 160,000. The writer notes various matters relating to the
interests and social condition of the Spanish colony, especially the
need of vigorous measures to punish the Moro pirates, who continually
harass the Pintados.
Pedro de Heredia, a Spanish official in the Moluccas, furnishes to the
king (1618) a list of the Dutch factories and forts in the Orient;
from this, and the value of the products annually exported thence,
it is evident that the Dutch have gained an extensive footing and
prestige in the Far East, together with rich profits, while the
Spaniards have lost the best part of their former commerce there. The
king is urged to consider these matters, and take measures to remedy
the present state of affairs.
A former steward of the royal hospital at Manila memorializes the
Council of the Indias (1618) regarding the losses incurred by that
institution through the mismanagement of its funds; and various orders
conducive to the improvement of the hospital are thereupon given by
the Council.
Soon after his arrival in the islands the new governor, Alonso Fajardo
de Tenza, writes to the king (August 10, 1618) regarding the state
of affairs there. He finds the colony suffering from various recent
disasters, and much fear and uncertainty among the people. He implores
aid from the king to maintain the Philippine colony and defend it from
its enemies. He is endeavoring to make the most of his scanty naval
torce, in the face of news that hostile fleets are coming to attack
the islands; and has sent to Nueva Espaсa to ask for reлnforcements and
supplies. His predecessor, Geronimo de Silva, desires to go to Spain;
but the Audiencia orders an investigation of his official conduct,
especially in regard to the loss of the galleons. Fajardo recommends
that more care be taken to provide suitably for an _ad interim_
government of the islands, when such shall occur; and declines certain
perquisites of his office. Much resentment against the Audiencia
is felt among the people, since

America sullies its image with hypocrisy
Creators Syndicate June 24, 2005
By Ray Hanania
Most of this week, the news channels featured two American Marines jail guards assigned to Saddam Hussein, part of a publicity stunt organized by GQ Magazine.
We've learned from the GQ road show that Saddam Hussein still believes he is president of Iraq, is obsessed with cleanliness, makes bad coffee and loves Doritos sprinkled with water.
He also, apparently, offered the male guards advice on marriage saying he was in love only twice, both to his former and current wife.
Yet no matter the puerile nature of the banal details that they shared, one has to express some concerns. Not about Saddam Hussein but about the role the United States continues to play in undermining its already rocky image abroad.
While Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is trying to sell the serious message of bringing Democracy to the Arab and Muslim World, the supposed symbol of American Democracy, the American news media, is filled with hypocrisy.
It is disrespectful to expose any prisoner to the circus-like glow of news media coverage. It's disrespectful not to Saddam Hussein but to the United States as the so-called pillar of Democracy.
No prisoner in any truly Democratic nation would be subjected to that kind of public ridicule or scorn.
This isn't the only incident. Recently, guards smuggled out photographs that depicted moments of personal privacy for Saddam Hussein wearing his underwear and in other compromising positions.
It makes a mockery of America's claim to be the champions of Democracy.
Detailing Saddam's Hussein's life in a circus-like atmosphere doesn't constitute war crimes, but it does reinforce the more troubling conduct of Americans at our prisons.
America is already notorious for abusing prisoners in its domestic penal system. The abuses and criminal acts by guards against prisoners who were convicted and sentenced to the American prisons system are endless. Many constitute felony crimes.
But now the United States is also guilty of violating the basic protections that must be accorded prisoners in jails set up to hold captives in our so-called "War on Terrorism."
Those abuses are also well documented and range from murdering prisoners either while in jail or in captivity, to violating the civil rights of individuals who in many cases have not been charged with any crimes and who continue to remain outside of the international legal system not on the basis of the power of law, but on the whim of the U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
The abuses involving death, torture, sexual and physical abuses, some of which were revealed in private photographic collections of U.S. Marine guards assigned to the prisoners is well documented.
All of it has been broadcast by the media, despite opposition from neocons and talk show demagogues who believe that when others commit crimes, they should be publicly flogged, but when America commits crimes they should be hidden.
The recent disclosures concerning Saddam Hussein only enhance the belief that the United States is less of a Democracy these days and more of a hypocrite who defines one set of laws for itself and another for everyone else.
The troubling conduct has had some repercussions with U.S. Senator Dick Durbin expressing disgust at images and photographs he has seen of all this misconduct.
Last week, Durbin read an email he received from an FBI agent who described the terrible conduct of American forces, and then told the U.S. Senate, "If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime -- Pol Pot or others -- that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This is the action of Americans in the treatment of their prisoners."
Durbin deserves praise for his courage to tell the truth rather than be attacked as he has for his honesty. Ironically, his critics assert his words undermine America's efforts both in the war on terrorism and in promoting Democracy.
Rather than blame those responsible for misconduct, many Americans find it more convenient to attack those like Durbin who expose it. Durbin is not the problem. Nor are the millions of Americans who question the war on terrorism and our misconduct in Iraq.
The real problem is in the failure of this nation to live by the principles we seek to impose on others all the while giving ourselves a pass.
In a true test of Democracy, the United States would fall short.

Thousands of social media users utilized their 140 characters to congratulate Matt LeBlanc as news broke yesterday that he was joining BBC's Top Gear – but former presenter Jeremy Clarkson ignored the trend.
In fact, while Matt LeBlanc and the Top Gear team celebrated with a round of drinks, Jeremy Clarkson was rubbing shoulders with… the police.
Copyright [Twitter/@JeremyClarkson]
The 55-year old shared a photo on Twitter of a car pulled over, while officers appeared to take the drivers details.
He cryptically captioned it: "My night."
Twitter followers were quick to react with one fan joking: "You were drag racing with Matt LeBlanc right??"
Another added: "I see your new job as an Uber driver is working out well."
While others criticised his actions: "Surely with the following you have, you should rise above the situation you find yourself in, of course of your own doing."
Copyright [BBC Worldwide/Justin Leighton]
The BBC dismissed Jeremy in 2015 after he reportedly punched a producer on the show following a dispute over the lack of hot food available in the canteen.
In a statement at the time, Tony Hall, the BBC director-general said: "It is with great regret that I have told Jeremy Clarkson today that the BBC will not be renewing his contract.
"It is not a decision I have taken lightly. I have done so only after a very careful consideration of the facts and after personally meeting both Jeremy and Oisin Tymon."
Top Gear will return to our screens in May with an all-new line up, consisting of host Chris Evans and now, his co-presenter, Matt LeBlanc.

|ACTION MOVIES * Comedy Index * Date Movies * Great Dramas * Musicals * Sci-Fi Movies * NEW HORROR MOVIES
The quality cast includes: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sharon Stone, Michael Ironside, Rachel Ticotin, and Ronny Cox.
With "Total Recall" director Paul Verhoeven delivered a slam bang, Sci-Fi action thriller with a pace that never lets up.
A Sci-Fi/Action Classic
The basic story, set in 2084, on earth, starts simply enough when a construction worker, Douglas Quaid, who has reoccurring dreams about Mars, wants to take a "mental" vacation to Mars. So, he goes to Rekall Inc., and buys implanted memories and goes on his mental trip there. Something goes terribly wrong, and another personality emerges. Soon, he finds himself in a wild new existence, where his former friends and several men unknown to him, chase him around town, trying to kill him.
He eventually finds a video recorded message left by his true self from his former, until then unknown life, telling him how to remove the sensor from his nose, and instructing him to return to Mars, for real, to not only further discover his true identity, but also to join the rebel forces in the underground there. "If I am not me, den who da hell am I?"
On Mars, he accomplishes both goals, by eventually remembering everything about his true self, as he helps the rebels, and dodges bad guys left and right, and falls in love all over again. Lots of good science fiction ideas flow throughout the story, that is sure to please all interested in the genre.
The film deals in an interesting fashion with issues like memory and identity. The script, by Ronald Shusett & Dan O' Bannon, is an adaptation of the Phillip K. Dick short story, "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale." Dick, who also wrote the novel, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sleep," adapted it into the classic "Blade Runner." Dick had battled mental illness for years, perhaps influencing the subjects and themes of his unusual stories and novels.
Sharon Stone does a great job as Lori Quaid, an agent of the bad guys, sent to keep an eye on Douglas Quaid on earth, posing as his wife. She plays the bad girl very well. Lori is such a beautiful woman, who is so nasty and foul-mouthed!
Rachel Ticotin, as Melina, Douglas's old Mars flame, does a great job as both his love interest, helper, and fellow freedom fighter.
Ronny Cox is terrific as the villainous Vilos Cohaagen, Mars Administrator, who is a cold-hearted, corporate bully, that has total control of the oxygen flow, and has no scruples or mercy. This character is someone that would inspire rebellion in the decent citizens of any world.
The eye popping special effects were done by Dream Quest. They won an Oscar for their work on THE ABYSS.
My favorite scene takes place on Mars. Arnold meets in secret with the odd, mutant leader, Tony (Dean Norris), of the Mars rebels. The scene is odd, disturbing, and full of surprises.
There is a fair amount of violence in this film, not to mention the potty words and salty language and isn't recommended viewing for children, or sensitive people.
If you enjoyed TOTAL RECALL, you may like T-2, ERASER, ROBOCOP, THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT, TRUE LIES, and THE CONSPIRACY THEORY.

8 awesome ways Yoast will better your WordPress blog
Blogzuola has long understood that search engine optimization is for the most part in continuous change. Yet, one of the cornerstones of search engine optimization has always been having a blog. Blogs are a great way to get your opinion across and help others find useful information within a certain industry. Sometimes, a company will even create several blogs related to their different activities. Blogging needs to have structure and there are tools that will help you become better bloggers by helping you create high quality content which is relevant to the needs of the industry you are in. Now, in order to blog you will need a platform which specializes in such a thing. While there are many out there, one of the most traditional and perhaps the most chosen is WordPress. It is definitely one of the most versatile blogging and website creation platforms available. In addition to that, WordPress's open software structure allows users to use a plethora of plugins and tools to improve their blog and many of said tools are great at optimizing for search engines. Out of all the different tools available, there is one that stands out above the rest and which is the preferred choice for SEO specialists. Its name is Yoast SEO; rather catchy, isn't it? Yoast SEO boosts an already solid SEO platform even further. So, what can Yoast SEO actually do for you? Let's look at what the free downloadable version has to offer.

1. Stay on topic with your keyword
A great blog post cannot happen until you choose a great topic to write about. This often means choosing a word that will be the central point of the article. You will surely run some keyword analysis tools to make sure you have chosen one which is relevant and current. Once you tell Yoast what your focus keyword is it will help you detect how well you are actually using the word. It makes sure that keyword location and amount is appropriate, that means not having to worry about keyword stuffing.
2. Stand out on search results pages
The title of your post and the meta description information that you provide search engines with is crucial to increasing rankings. Yoast's handy snippet editor lets you fine tune this most important information to make sure your site will rank as highly as possible on search engines. It will even show you how the title and meta description will show up on Google, giving you an idea of how effective or eye-catching it is.
3. Control the bots
The information that crawlers get from your site is another key factor for effective SEO. Yoast can make easy work of this often grueling task. Just input what you want indexed and what not and let Yoast deal with Google's bots. Easy peasy.
4. To read or not to read? That is the question.
Readers need to be able to follow your post without must difficulty. It must be natural and night mind wrecking. Yoast helps you determine how readable a post really is. It checks to see how well you use cohesive devices and whether active voice is the preferred speech pattern. Furthermore, it tabulates the Flesch Reading Ease score which tells you just how easy the post is to read.
5. Separate the original from the rest
Original content is one the ranking factors for any search engine algorithm. This means that crawlers should be able to tell the difference between the first post about something and the following ones related to the same content. Yoast's canonical link elements plug-is helps you tell Google which are the original post, pages, tags, and categories which will allow the search engine giant to give you a higher, more appropriate ranking.

6. Leave the trail you want to leave
Have you ever noticed how on top of some sites there is a sort of summary of the pages you have clicked on to get where you are currently on a site? Each page is followed by ">>". What you are noticing is the breadcrumbs that you have left along the way. Breadcrumbs in SEO are quite useful because they help both users and robots know where to find specific information on a site. And you don't have to click the back button several times to return to previous pages, just click on one of the breadcrumbs and that's that. Yoast lets you adapt these breadcrumbs to your will, giving you more control over how users see your site.
7. Site Mapping has never been easier
By now you have probably noticed a trend with Yoast: it's incredibly user friendly. This quality is especially helpful when it comes to site mapping, one of the most fundamental elements of any search engine optimization strategy and search engine algorithms. Site maps give engines the layout of a website and a guide as to how to crawl it. Yoast helps you control what information search robots will look for and which ones to avoid, something that is extremely helpful for when there is classified or really sensitive information that is for company eyes only.
8. Last but not least, the all-important robot.txt and .htaccess files
Having clear and easy to read robot.txt and .htaccess files will go a long way towards helping Google rank you where it should. Creating and updating those files is not always an easy task. Yoast makes it easy, plain and simple.
Yoast is surely one of the best SEO tools you can have if you are on WordPress. It makes a lot of the hard, technical work in SEO rather easy to do and maintain.

Follow This Advice To Quit Smoking Now
Everyone knows the health risks attributed to smoking, but it is still very difficult to stop smoking. If you are serious about quitting, you are probably in need of a little inspiration and instruction. These tips are designed to make starting to quit a little easier.
Discuss your desire to stop smoking with your doctor. He can advise you about prescription medications available to help you and may even recommend things such as antidepressants to help with emotional withdrawals. Your doctor can also steer you to support groups, programs and other resources to help you.
To avoid the weight gain that usually comes along with your quitting, you should try to eat veggies and fruits instead of sweets. This will assist with keeping weight gain away. Keep in mind that quitting will make you hungry, so you may as well feed yourself something healthy.
Make sure you have a strong support group of friends and family members, when you decide to quit smoking. Let them know that you need that kind of support and that there is no need to be judged by them. Let them know that you will probably be crabby at the beginning. Quitting smoking can be very difficult, so it's critical that you have the support of those who are close to you at this time.
Talk to your doctor about quitting smoking. A physician may know about methods for quitting that you are not aware of. Additionally, your doctor may prescribe medications to make quitting easier for you, so long as he or she feels that such treatments are appropriate for your situation.
If you are serious about quitting your smoking habit, you need to get good at it. Most former smokers will tell you that it was necessary to kick the habit more than once. You have to take quitting day-by-day, living in the moment. When you do give into a cigarette, try to quit again immediately after. Try quitting and remember to try longer each time, as you learn along the way. Eventually, you will get good at doing this, and you will quit and not go back.
Clean your house, as thoroughly as possible, once you stop smoking. Shampoo your upholstery and carpets, launder your curtains and drapes and wash your walls. Not only will your house look and smell clean and refreshing, but you won't be tempted by the lingering odor of cigarettes whenever you come home.
Eliminating a smoking habit entirely can often be a difficult task but with a little advice, that task might become a bit easier. By implementing the hints and tips you've been given, you'll have a better chance of kicking the habit in a shorter period of time. You'll be healthier for it, and so will your loved ones.

Phenomenal Actress
By Riley Johnson
Inspired by Maya Angelou's poem Phenomenal Woman
Many people wonder where my passion lies
I'm not rich or secure to risk an acting job's prize
But when I start to tell them
They think I'm quite unwise.
I say,
It's in the voice that I make,
The improvised quips,
The lines in my head,
The words on my lips.
I'm an actress
Phenomenal actress,
That's me.
I walk onto the stage
Just as my cue directs,
And to a beat,
The actors perform
And the crowd inspects
Then their eyes are on me,
Watching with all respect.
I say,
It's the spark in my spirit
And the feat of my role
The truth in my act
And the spunk of my soul
I'm an actress
Phenomenal actress,
That's me.
Many friends have wondered
Why I dream to be.
They try to plead
But can't concede
What I most wish to be.
When I try to quell them
They say they still can't see
I say,
It's in the glow of the lights,
The thrill of the show,
The heart of the cast,
The zeal of the bow
I'm an actress
Phenomenal actress,
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my heart is set
I don't lie or heave a sigh
Or let myself go fret.
When you see me acting
It ought to make you bet.
I'll say,
It's the skill in my head
The will of my heart
The nerve of my plan
The hope in my start
'Cause I'm an actress
Phenomenal actress,
That's me.
Leave a Reply.
I do think that all of us think in poems.

The interview itself couldnt have gone better, I arrived early and so they took me upstaires and sat me with 2 people to "wait", then the interviewer went off and I was left to chat by myself....I think that was the real interview tbh. Then I was called over to chat with the interviewer and another girl there wanting a job. She didn't ask any questions or anything...I on the otherhand blabbed on and on about what club activities are all about and was there a chance to become a teacher etc etc...So after a while I sat back down with the group and was asked to stay for another hour :D So I have one part time job...it may only be for a few hours a week but at least it's something! I have another interview on Tuesday for IHCWAY, which is a company that recruits private teachers and pairs them up with interviewed inderviduals. If I can get alot of students hopefully I can fit them around working at LeafCup, both jobs seem pretty flexible so it should be doable. But I think even if I do work both jobs it's still not stable enough for me to live on while over here. My rent for the guesthouse is 40,000 yen a month, which is very good but then the cost of living is quiet high. I must spend 1000 yen a day on food, drink and trains, which might not sound alot but it soon adds up. I've begun to think more economically and filling my water bottles up at home, eating simple meals of rice and cabbage and generally trying to cut down on spending on silly things like Kigurumin and puri kura. I know Max wants me to live it up and splash some cash but I really don't mind living the simple life for a while, there are plenty of things to see and do in Tokyo that require minamal amounts of money. Even walking around Nakano and taking photos is an awesome day out for me. I'm sure I can enjoy myself without shopping everyday.
Speaking of shopping, I went to Shibuya last week. Wasn't overly impressed...had alot of pimps and crowds of punk and gyaru kids around. Also Center-gai was just bars and resaurants...nothing to wet yourself over. Maybe it's different in the daytime and I guess I didn't really explore all that well. I'll give it another go one day and give a full report. Pretty lights though...
Puri Kura booths and posters were distroyed!
Tomorow I'm going to a Japanese class in Ichigaya so I'm hitting the hay for now. I only really have time to blog late at night when everyone is done with the computer Y_Y
I need more coffee maybe so I can become an awesome blogger. OH WAIT
I do really like the coffee here (Starbucks is pretty good in Japan) but it's not nearly as strong or as what I was used to having/serving back in Marzano. OH for a honeycomb latte with a leaf drawn in it! Wow I didn't think I would miss anything about my old work!
One thing England doesn't have yet KITKAT BANANA!! <3 OH OMNOM
Peace y'all

My mother only took photographs of sadness. The Crown box camera clicked and fluttered; the wide-eyed shutter collapsed like a hesitant flower with withering petals. The camera looked like a hearse and the images were minor funerals; the death of each moment captured on film. The still photographs were like gravestones that visited only on holidays.
Most nights we sat together on the crumbling front steps of our unfortunate house. My mother smoked a cigarette, while I would stare at the orange ember fuse glow and then, watch for the barrage of dying comets that fell from her eyes like cold failed stars.
[Do stars have teeth?]
It's all space and distance, light years apart, which only the rarest love can cover. Even I, who had walked on water, could barely cross the distance to reach her. By the time I arrived I'd be exhausted, buried from the burden of crossing; the weight of space and traveling on stars is a soulless experience meant only for gods and ghosts. Yet, my mother had carried me for so many miles just to arrive here and had even lost one of us on the way; my phantom twin acknowledged only in the space between our silences. She carried such strange burdens, which she never shared. She only looked at me with hopelessness and called me her savior. Little did she know that I had laid down my cross years ago and had grown wings instead. What my mother called madness I deemed mercy, the kind that flows between the banks of devotion and doubt.

Click here to download our Enrolment Policy and Enrolment Form
Prep Enrolment:
Children who expect to begin school in Prep must be five years of age by 30 April of the year they are due to start.
At Trinity Catholic Primary School we believe that it is important to provide a smooth transition from Kindergarten to School. This will make the children more secure and also ensure they are provided with appropriate experiences to promote early success in school.
We conduct four transition sessions in the year prior to the child beginning school.
Our Enrolment process is implemented in the following ways:
- An Enrolment Form is completed by prospective families.
- An interview takes place between families, Principal/Deputy Principal and the Prep classroom teacher.
- A letter of offer is sent to the parents.
- Parents accept the offer and pay a $50 non-refundable deposit.
- Transition sessions are conducted in 4th term. These consist of 4 one and a half hour sessions where children will be involved in a number of activities. Parents will also be welcomed into our community at the same time.
Trinity Catholic Primary School "Buddy" System
Each Prep student has a "buddy" in Year 6. "Buddies" look after the Prep students, especially during the initial months of commencing school and then meet up regularly throughout the year.
This process helps the Prep students settle into school life. This interaction is ongoing during the year as Year 6 and Preps support each other through cross-age activities.
Enrolments for Years 1 - 6
Applications for enrolment of children in Years 1 to 6 are taken throughout the year. Enrolments in these classes are confirmed subject to availability of places.
School Tours
Every day is Open Day.

That's fine, not everyone has to be playing in the top leagues. Yet, that doesn't mean you don't deserve recognition and support.
After all, what is better than having people cheering you on at your games?
Or new players standing in line to try out for a place on the roster?
Better yet, sponsors who want you to wear their name or support you financially?
Unfortunately though, these things don't materialize out of thin air. They require time, effort and putting yourself out there.
The good news, however, is that there are many ways to promote your sports team and technology made them affordable, sometimes even free.
So, in order to get your team the fame, support and fans it deserves, in this article we will take a look at different marketing ideas for sports teams on and off the web.
Online Promotion for Sports Teams
If anyone hears your team's name or wants to find out more about you, what is the first thing they will do? That's right, hit up Google.
In times where everyone has a smartphone, the Internet is usually the first place people will go to find information on anything.
Therefore, it is crucial that you make good use of available marketing channels on the net.
1. Use WordPress
for a Free, Professional Website
In most cases, your team's website will be the first stop for any information seekers, be it new fans, new players or members of the press.
It is probably also the first thing that potential sponsors will look at. For those reasons, it is important that you make a good first impression.
If you already have a website, you might want to check out our tips on how to improve your sports team's website design.
In case you don't have a web presence yet, don't worry. Today it is quite easy to create a website, even if you are not a web designer or developer.
With WordPress virtually anyone can create a professional-looking website in literally minutes.
The WordPress platform already powers 25% of the Internet — literally millions of websites, including this one — with no end in sight.
One of the main reason behind its success is the fact that WordPress is open source and therefore completely free to use.
In addition to that, thousands of free, high-quality themes make it easy to completely change any site's design at the touch of a button.
Plus, the platform's functionality can be extended almost indefinitely via the plugins in the WordPress directory which range from SEO solutions to photo galleries and contact forms to anything imaginable.
It's beyond this article to show you exactly how to build a site with WordPress (even though I promise it is really simple!), however, you can use the following resources to get started:
- WordPress Codex – Getting Started With WordPress
- Tyler Moore – How to Make a WordPress Website 2015 (video)
2. Set up Your Team Website with an All-in-one Solution
If you do feel overwhelmed at the prospect of designing your own website, we might be able to help.
Here at ThemeBoy, we try to create turnkey solutions for anyone wanting to set up a professional website for their team, club, or league.
For example, we have put together SportsPress Pro, a plugin that allows you to easily add team and player profiles, league tables, upcoming matches and more to any WordPress site.
If you would like to give it a spin, you can download the free version of Sportspress from the WordPress directory.
You might also want to check out our WordPress themes for sports team websites including the free Rookie theme.
Should you need help, feel free to head on over to the community forum or check out the ThemeBoy helpdesk for additional resources.
Ok, now let's look at additional marketing ideas for your sports team.
3. Build an Email Newsletter
Although a relatively old technology (in Internet years), email continues to be an important marketing channel.
Providers like MailChimp allow you to easily set up and manage professional email newsletters including list management, email template builders and more.
Plus, up to 2000 subscribers the service is completely free to use.
Email is a great tool to keep players, fans and volunteers informed about upcoming events, games and everything else that is going on.
It is also an effective channel to stay in touch with your most loyal fans, send them bonus material, thank you notes, exclusive content and other things that make them feel appreciated.
How do you know your closest fans are on the list?
Well, think about your own Internet usage. Do you give out your email address freely and without any afterthought or only to things you trust and are interested in?
Hopefully your answer was the latter.
Other people are the same. If they opt to sign up to your email list, this is a huge indicator of trust and interest and you should treat those people with the respect they deserve.
4. Be Present on Social Media
Social media is ubiquitous. Today, almost everyone is a member of at least one platform.
I mean, I'm friends with my mom on Facebook. That should really say it all.
Besides their wide reach, what's great about social networks is that pretty much all of them are free to use. As a consequence they present an inexpensive way for team promotion.
Social media platforms allow fans to have a direct connection to their favorite team, interact with players and club members as well as receive important news and updates.
Sound good? Then let's go over some of the biggest networks and how you can use them for your sports team's marketing.
Note: You don't have to present on all social networks. In fact you probably shouldn't, unless you have the resources to take care of all platforms properly. A good idea is to concentrate on one network and really master it before slowly branching out to others.
(That being said, feel free to open accounts on every platform from the start in order to save your user name.)
Facebook is by far the biggest social network out there. That means there is plenty of opportunity to create conversations around your club, promote events and publish news.
By establishing a dedicated Facebook team page you give fans and followers a way of interacting with you.
The platform also makes it easy for existing followers to like and share anything you post to your page, thereby increasing the reach of your content.
However, what can you share with your followers? Here are a few ideas:
- Game results, images and videos from competitions
- Questions, trivia and polls
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Video messages from players
- Team or sports-related contests and giveaways
For professional looking visuals, check out Buffer's 23 tools and resources for creating images for social media.
If you have upcoming competitions or other happenings, you can use Facebook events. They allow you to set up an event page with all necessary information, invite people to join and have them invite others.
This is an awesome to spread the news and raise awareness!
Plus, if it makes sense for your team, you can now even sell tickets, memberships, merchandise and more directly from Facebook. Apps like Ecwid make it possible.
This microblogging platform is another great candidate for team promotion. However, unlike Facebook, this platform is much more about immediacy.
Twitter users are on the lookout for events and news that are happening right now. That makes the network the perfect tool to post live updates from games and competitions.
That way you can let the fans who didn't make it know what is happening and make them feel involved no matter if they are at work or home on the couch.
When you use Twitter for your marketing, be sure to take advantage of hashtags. Attaching them to your messages will get them in front of anyone interested in the same topic as you. You can use Hashtagify.me to find hashtags related to your sport.
Apart from that, Twitter is also a great tool for networking. It allows you to join conversations and connect to others, like local journalists and news outlets.
By following them and tweeting at them, you might get some to pick up your stories and news items. Worth a try in any case.
I'm sure I don't have to explain YouTube to you. Chances are you already used it today to watch a cat video like millions of other people.
The video platform is another good opportunity for marketing sports teams.
Signing up to a YouTube account allows you share practice videos, club events, game highlights, goals, player interviews and other interesting tidbits.
For example, have you seen this goal celebration from an Icelandic football club?

Budureasca, Premium Range, Fetească Neagră, 2014, dry, ABV 14.5%
Feteasca Neagră from Premium range is the red wine that expresses the potential of this grape variety when it meets the terroir of Dealu Mare Vineyard. And especially when the grapes come from grapevines that are older than 30 years. The wine has a deep ruby color, followed by a nose that reveals aromas of black currants, blackberries, and a delicate note of spices. After being matured in barriques for an amount of five months, Feteasca Neagră gained consistency, a smoother structure and persistent and appetizing aromas of black cherries, prunes, and chocolate. The aftertaste of the wine is long, savory, with final notes of oak and cinnamon. It is recommended to decant the wine for one hour before consumption.
Serving temperature: 16-18°C (61-64°F).
Food pairing: beef or game in wine sauce, grilled mushrooms, pasta in red sauce, or with the food that you like.

Mallorca 4: Gilbert takes win number two
Rojas crashes out of lead
Belgian Philippe Gilbert (Française des Jeux) took his second win of the 17th Challenge Volta a Mallorca on Wednesday, beating Rabobank's young sprinter, 23-year-old Sebastian Langeveld to the line. The leader in the general classification, José Joaquín Rojas (Caisse d'Epargne) crashed in the final meters of the race and was forced to withdraw, passing the jersey onto Gilbert.
Estonian Rein Taaramae (Cofidis) and Jesús del Nero (Saunier Duval) made up the day long breakaway, going clear early in the race and opening up a lead which they held over the first three climbs of the day in the lead. A crash on the Puig Major descent disrupted their efforts, and Alberto Contador (Astana) attacked, catching the leaders and going away up the final climb of the day, but with a long descent to the finish, Contador was caught with eight kilometres to go. The 70-man sprint went to Gilbert over Langeveld, with Quick Step's Maarten Wynants in third.

At the final day of Scary Porn Month, I release a flash!
A very basic one though. No sounds or music this time around, sadly. It's a bit like my very first flashes. Short n' simple, but I kind of split it up in two parts this time. So you might have some fun with that!
