You have just opened your small business, naturally, you have hopes of being successful and growing in the near future.
Now you need a website to let the world know you exist, so with all the research behind you, you decide to build your first website using WordPress, hosting on a shared server with visions of scaling up down the road. As a new startup, that's all you can afford for now.
Shared Hosting
Should you use a shared host?
That depends, it is not a bad thing, as the majority of websites are using a shared server with no problems.
Pros and Cons of a shared server:
- Affordable, $3.95 to $10
- Easy to use, one click WordPress installs
- Comes with a control panel dashboard
- Fully managed, updates and maintenance
- No technical skills necessary
- You share resources with hundreds of other websites
- Your website speed will vary (sometimes slow)
- Potential Security Vulnerabilities (cross contamination)
- Limited to the software or apps provided by host
- Advertise "Unlimited" bandwidth and "memory" – Not True
Deeper Dive
Let's address these cons or negative reasons
Shared Resources
Since you are sharing a set amount of resources with hundreds of other websites, the performance of your website will vary. Say a particular website on your server is experiencing a high volume of views and downloads, it means less resources for you. The result, your website becomes sluggish. You can't get around this issue on a shared hosting server, it just comes with the package.
With that being said, the hosting service you choose does make a difference. If you use one of the reputable hosting companies you may not even notice the difference.
I have a few small business clients that are satisfied with the performance, uptime and cost of the shared server they are using.
Security Vulnerabilities
Shared hosting received lots of negativity from malware infection issues years ago due to improper server configurations and lack of experience. According to an article from PerezBox things have changed for the better today.
If you want to be safe on a shared server, it is imperative that you have a firewall running on your backend. If you oversee several websites than each site requires their own firewall to protect against Cross Contamination.
What is Cross Contamination?
"Cross-site contamination is when a site is negatively affected by neighboring sites within the same server due to poor isolation on the server or account configuration. This phenomenon is one of the greatest contributors to the VPS/Dedicated/Shared hosting."[Sucuri Blog: 7/18/17 Tony Perez]
If you have a WordPress install, you need to lock down your website with a firewall. There is no excuse, WordPress is very fortunate to have tools available and you don't need to have experience in security.
What is a Firewall?
"A firewall is a network security device that monitors incoming and outgoing network traffic and decides whether to allow or block specific traffic based on a defined set of security rules." [Cisco]

Limited to the software or apps available
This is certainly true. On the other hand, most hosting providers furnish all the software and apps that a normal user would require: CMS, E-commerce, Blogs, Web Builders, Email, Security, Statistics, etc.
If you are a developer and require something more advanced, you probably don't belong on a shared hosting platform anyway.
Advertised Bandwith Unlimited
A few hosting providers advertise unlimited bandwidth (or unmetered) for their shared hosting package. If this statement was really true, you would see many high traffic business' and media download websites hosting on a shared server.
In most cases, there is an *(Asterisk) or link next to this statement. If you were to further click on the link, you can read their disclaimer. Examples:
"While of course, these resources are not infinite, we believe our customers should have all the resources necessary to build an online presence and 99.95% of customers will have more than enough disk space and bandwidth to meet their needs." [Bluehost]
"However, that being said, we do require all customers to be fully compliant with our Terms of Service and to only utilize disk space and bandwidth in the normal operation of a personal or small business website." [Hostgator]
"We don't limit the amount of storage and bandwidth your site can use as long as it complies with our Hosting Agreement. Should your website bandwidth or storage usage present a risk to the stability, performance or uptime of our servers, we will notify you via email and you may be required to upgrade, or we may restrict the resources your website is using. It's very rare that a website violates our Hosting Agreement and is typically only seen in sites that use hosting for file sharing or storage." [Godaddy]
Bottom Line
1) If you can afford it, you can bypass all this controversy by purchasing a Cloud or VPS hosting package from the start. Then you can eliminate the inconvenience of upgrading or migrating to a VPS server in the future, you are already there.
2) Nothing wrong with a shared host as long as you follow the guidelines listed in this post. I still have a few brochure/informational websites using a shared server with no problems. The owners of these sites are happy and saved lot's of money after all these years. Of course, they average less than 100 page views a day.
3) If your shared host website grows in traffic, you will receive warnings from your host provider to upgrade. Trust me, they do monitor every server and can detect websites that are hogging all the resources. I have received several warnings my self.
Wordpress can survive on a shared host, but just remember there are limits.
Anyone have any thoughts?

The United Way of King County recently awarded $1.5 million to expand a program that helps low-income parents teach their toddlers using educational books and toys.
About 1,000 low-income families in Seattle and King County were enrolled last year in a home-visiting program that helps parents prepare their toddlers for kindergarten.
Now, with a boost in funding from the city and county, the United Way of King County estimates its latest round of grants for the Parent-Child Home Program will boost the number of families served to about 1,300 this year and 1,400 next year.
Thirteen community-based organizations will split $1.5 million to expand the Parent-Child program, which pairs families with home-visitors who teach parents how to get the most educational value out of playing with and reading to their 2- and 3-year-olds. Several will focus on helping families who no longer can afford to live in Seattle and who lack stable housing, said Karen Howell-Clark, United Way's senior director of education strategies.
The YWCA, for example, will recruit homeless families, Howell-Clark said, while El Centro de la Raza, which works with a lot of Spanish-speaking residents, will expand its Parent-Child program to southern parts of the county where its families are moving. Other agencies, Howell-Clark added, may work with local housing authorities.

As part of the program, home visitors spend 30 minutes twice a week with families, showing parents how to use a book or toy to build their children's language and literacy skills.
A recent study of Parent-Child's impact in King County found that participating children were more likely to be ready for kindergarten and have stronger English skills than other students in Washington. They also continue performing at a higher level in reading and math by the third grade, according to the study.
United Way also awarded $4.1 million to the nine local organizations that already offer Parent-Child to continue offering it this year. Five of those received additional money to expand as well, and eight new agencies will join the Parent-Child roster.
Parent-Child targets families that live in poverty, don't speak English or are new to the U.S. The eight new agencies include the Congolese Integration Network, Iraqi Community Center of Washington and the West African Community Council.
"About 75 to 80 percent of the families we've served over the years are immigrant or refugee families, and that's great. That's a huge need," Howell-Clark said.

Wellington, Fla. – March 6, 2019 – Competition on Wednesday wrapped up in the International Arena during Week Nine with the $36,000 Douglas Elliman Classic 1.45m CSI5*. Fifty-eight athletes and their mounts took to the ring to try and put together a clean and clear round to take home the day's top prize. As the last to go in the class, it was ultimately McLain Ward (USA) and Kessler Show Stables Europe BV's Tradition de la Roque who walked away victorious.
Alan Wade's (IRL) course challenged horses and athletes over 13 obstacles in the power and speed format. For the first six fences, the time allowed was set at 39 seconds. Beginning at fence seven, athletes vied for more speed over the remaining seven obstacles. The course, which highlighted a number of rollbacks and two double combinations utilizing oxers and verticals, did not pose any major issues for athletes. A total of 20 riders finished the course with double-clear rounds.
William Whitaker (GBR) took the early lead with one of two mounts in the class, Rushy Marsh Farms LLC's RMF Echo. The pair's time of 35.328 seconds held up for the majority of the class with a handful of combinations coming within .5 seconds of his quick time but were ultimately unable to beat him. After competing both mounts, RMF Echo and RMF Chacco Top, Whitaker ended the day in third place aboard RMF Echo.
Forty trips after producing their leading time, Whitaker and RMF Echo, a 15-year-old Belgian Warmblood that was previously ridden by top Irish show jumper Denis Lynch, were overtaken by Diego Vivero (ECU). Vivero, aboard Javier Estrada's Capiche 'Ter Elzen', sealed their second place finish with a time of 34.967 seconds. Vivero and the 10-year-old Belgian Sport Horse mare found success together in pre-season competition at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center (PBIEC), placing third in the $25,000 Vita Flex® Grand Prix.
Last to go in the class, Ward and the 12-year-old Selle Français mare knew the track they needed to take to shave seconds off of Vivero's time. Ward, utilizing both the mare's ability to turn tightly and leave out strides to the last double combination, was able to finish on a time of 33.274 seconds, almost two seconds faster than third place finisher Whitaker, who's time held up for the majority of the class. Ward and Tradition de la Roque, who have been partnered together since September 2018, have been finishing on the podium throughout the entirety of the Winter Equestrian Festival (WEF), including winning the $72,000 CaptiveOne Advisors 1.50m Classic CSI5* during Week Seven.
CSI5* competition will return to the International Arena at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center on Thursday with the running of the $134,000 WEF Challenge Cup Round IX CSI5* in preparation for Saturday night's $391,000 Douglas Elliman Grand Prix CSI5* at 7 p.m.
McLain Ward – $36,000 1.45m Douglas Elliman Classic CSI5* winner
On Tradition de la Roque:
"Tradition has been great for us. We're very lucky to have her in our stables from Reed Kessler and her family. The horse is for sale, but until she's sold I get to enjoy competing her and she's been a real star down here in Florida. She's won a few classes and has had other top placings so we're really thrilled with her. I've been riding her since September of 2018."
On Wednesday's course:
"Alan Wade is my favorite course designer in the world so I always enjoy his tracks. They just always make sense to me. It was the first big class of the week so I thought the route was a bit friendly but with the level of competition in Wellington, especially in a 5* week, these classes are very fast. I got to go at the end so I saw what the smart risks and what the not so smart risks were. I had considered doing five [strides] to the liverpool, and I probably could have done it, but thought it was better to do in a steady six. I knew I wanted to do one less stride than most had done to the double [combination] and I actually almost did two less and the horse really helped me out there."

Up until this week, I'd been eating really well. And then it went downhill, big time.
I'd settled into a routine, I was in the habit of eating small meals and not snacking after dinner and I was losing weight!
And then this week happened. I don't know what set it off - possibly the Afternoon Tea I wrote about earlier in the week has awakened my sweet tooth with a vengeance, or possibly it's just PMS manifesting itself as an 'EAT ALL THE THINGS' demon inside my brain, but I've been eating like crap this week. It's driving me nuts - every day I wake up and think, "I'm sticking to my plan today" and then it gets derailed by cake or extra sweets in the office kitchen or the rain making going to the gym feel impossible.
However, I've had these weeks before. I'm going to get back up on the horse and start eating properly again - not just (as is my very bad habit) little healthy meals stuck in between chocolate. So I thought that today I'd write about how you can go about getting yourself back on track after a derailment (diet-wise, anyway. Don't ask me about actual trains).
Identify your triggers
I know that if I have something sweet after dinner, I find it very difficult to stop after just one. Or if something's free or someone is giving something out, I can't resist, even if I know I should. There are my triggers for unhealthy behaviour, but yours might be something different. Once you identify them, you can...
Work out ways to avoid them
This might not always be easy, but often it's less difficult than you think. I need to relearn to not have anything sweet after dinner, not even a yogurt, not even if I have calories left. Every different trigger will have a different solution, but avoiding them or working around them helps so much. For example, if I know there's sweets in the kitchen that I won't be able to resist when I go in, I'll go and refill my water bottle somewhere else instead.
Bring your own food
I bring oranges to work every day because I know I will want something mid-afternoon and if I don't, I'll probably end up raiding the office biscuit supply. If, like me, you can't resist the call of food that's in front of you, it helps to have something to keep your hands and mouth
Good decisions in the shop mean no bad decisions in the kitchen
I have a terrible habit of buying nearly anything if I get it reduced and at a good deal - this includes much more chocolate than I need. Most of the time I can nibble away at it on occasion and make it last forever, but then a bad period hits and I'll eat everything within half an hour. However, if I just resist buying them, then they won't be in the house when I'm looking to snack, then I won't set myself off.
No matter what you eat, put it in MFP anyway
I don't like seeing all that red, but I log all the crap stuff that sent me over anyway. There's no point not knowing the total you've eaten - your body has already counted every single calorie, all you're doing after a binge or a takeaway is record keeping. You owe to to yourself to be honest, and keep track of how wrong you've gone and what you need to do to get back on track.
Remind yourself it's alright to have a break/maintenance break
Your weight does does not have to be - and is not going to be - a straight diagonal line down. It will have bumps and plateaus and that's alright. So you haven't lost anything this week - that only adds a week to length of time it will take to be done. It doesn't matter if you fail over the time period of a meal, a day, a week, or a month - you can pick it up again and keep going.

Biome Facts
A biome can be defined as a major regional group of distinctive plant and communities that are adapted to the region's natural environment, latitude, elevation and terrain etc.
The type of a biome is determined by the climate and geography of the area. The sum of all living organisms of a particular biome or ecosystem is referred to as the biological community. Every ecosystem experience a process called succession over time.
Succession can be defined as the progressive replacement of one biological community by another. The most adapted biological community is known as a climax community.
Quick Facts: –
- There are a total of five major biomes in the world that are categorized as desert, grassland, tundra, forest, and aquatic.
- The climate of an ecosystem can be defined as its typical weather conditions and weather patterns.
- Approximately 1/3 of the earth's stored carbon can be found in the Arctic Tundra soil.
- Tropical rainforests have vegetation so thick that less than 2% of sunlight reaches the ground.
- Temperate forests are also known as deciduous forests. They experience four distinct seasons.
- There are two different types of aquatic biomes that are freshwater and marine biome.
- The Arctic tundra is the earth's coldest biome. Here, the Sun does not rises for nearly 6 months of the year.
- The coniferous forest can be described as area of land covered in evergreen trees that have needle leaves and cones.

Yahoo, on the other hand, has rolled the feature into the latest release of its Android app, version 2.6.Read More

revvll PRO rope resistance trainer
I love this product for getting an unconventional workout in my apartment. It is exactly what I needed. There seems to be nothing like this on the market. Which is probably the only reason the manufacturer can get away with charging such a ridiculous price.
I find the "rope" a little too small. I do not appreciate the cheap plastic casing and the device has mysteriously gone from quiet to making a sound to quiet again, with no effect on performance though. I find the first three settings to be too easy, but my daughter, 6yr old son, and wife appreciate them.
I once emailed the manufacturer with a question about lubrication and they were very quick to respond, so they get points for that.
Would I buy it again? Yes, I probably would, but the truth is that this device should cost no more than half of what they are currently asking. Once you open the box you can clearly see it is not a premium product. Even the packaging was disappointing. For $1,000 I expect a lot more.
Tip: Pair with Phantom Athletics restrictive breathing face mask for a great training session.

Bodycraft cable pull module HFT
Awesome machine! Very sturdy and well-built, with quality materials, feels solid like a professional/gym machine (and looks good too!).
It comes with several different handles/accessories, allowing for dozens of upper and lower body exercises. And it also comes with the extra weight plates that are sold as an optional $200 "upgrade" in the US.
Just be aware that it is a little difficult to assemble (don't try doing it by yourself and follow the manual's instructions to do it with the help of a second person) and does not come with the necessary tools to do so (get your toolbox ready).

Very good quality of build. Nice finishing and sturdy construction. Allows to do a lot of exercises and does take too much space.
But a bit painful to put it together with average IKEA instruments.

"My kitten," " my Bunny.".. As soon as mothers don't call their kids!
In these funny nicknames they put all the love and tenderness that they feel for their crumbs. Not surprising, because the word "Bunny" is associated with the majority of something cute, causing a smile. For this reason, manufacturers around the world are happy to use this character to create children's products. Today we present you a selection of products for kids, where the main hero is "BUNNY"!
Lamps with a German accent from the brand @MrMariadesign just will not leave anyone indifferent! Stylish minimalistic design and soft light – a great recipe for a pleasant atmosphere in the nursery. Perhaps you will not find analogues.
Danish brand @mailegworld offers a series of play dolls-rabbits. Huge selection of characters, amazing, you can create your hare family. In addition to the characters, the manufacturer offers clothes, furniture and accessories to make the gameplay even more interesting!
Another great brand from Denmark @lisewood_design offers products in the best traditions of Scandinavian design. Natural materials, delicate shades and a favorite character in stylish textiles. In assortment of shop towels and dressing gowns, rugs, wooden rodents and still a set of various goods for kids are presented.
Rare childhood without the plush toys, so we are delighted to offer Bunny brand @jellycat_official. Animals, invented in the capital of great Britain, are incredibly attractive. See for yourself!
Sometimes there is only one person behind the brand. It's great when this person is a mom who wants to have the most stylish nursery, as is the case with this profile @chloefleury. On the website of Chloe you can find wonderful paper figures of rabbits in the technique of papercraft and decorative wall wooden puzzles. Stylish, and tasteful-all as we love!
Alilo bunnies are amazing and functional toys that combine a night light and a media device. Can serve as a rattle, entertain the baby, sing him a song or record a voice.
Bunny Mi
Bunny Mi can be called the most popular hare, invented in Russia. The eared baby itself is a game doll in several variations, from a baby to an adult character. But the image of Zaika Mi can be found in different children's products and products for creativity. No wonder, dear Bunny, like her brother cat Basik, loved by many.
Blanket BUNNY from @apero_knit is undoubtedly a hit. Bound from natural Merino wool, it has a unique laconic design and carries a unique French philosophy. The case where children's accessories can be both beautiful, functional, eco-friendly and created with love.
What if a soft hare can be not only a plush toy, but also a wall decor? In the range of @lavka_ch store you can easily find different animals for children's decoration, and of course, the rabbit will be special among them. Smiling character easily decorate the wall to please your baby.
The abundance of bunnies made of wood you will meet in the Studio @lumi_toys. Dolls, pyramids made of natural materials have a charming look and will decorate any children's room. And what a space for the game give these charming products! In General, rate yourself!
Shop @baby_kuler specializes in the sale of children's water coolers. And in General, the main direction of the store – it's children's dishes, so the range can be found cute thermoses in the form of a Bunny. But we were particularly impressed by the novelty – bunny carpets, which will allow the baby to play comfortably on the floor, and mom – to complement the interior with a stylish accent.
Non-standard approach allows to create unique solutions, that's what the guys from @white_lambs did. They have developed unique prints and apply them to textiles. Choose a pillowcase with a Bunny or just a ready-made pillow with a big-eared friend, so that it brings joy to its little owner!
The guys at @smilewithfriends are engaged in the production of printed children's decor-posters, metrics, interior stickers – and they definitely succeeded in this business. A series of images with hares has a special sincerity, these characters are worthy of becoming a wonderful decoration. By the way, the image can be applied to the pillow, and get even more stylish jewelry.
If we talk about toys, then you should definitely mention the family @sylvanianfamiliesrus. Famous sets with bunnies and other animals will give endless space for fun and imagination. As if living, characters will become best friends and partners on games.
Modern technology allows you to choose what you like. If it's a Bunny-just use our selection and then your favorite character will settle in your home.

Doing two over the top theme parties with a limited amount of funds has been interesting and frankly completely exhausting. Esperanza took pity on me after I jumped a curb while trying to make for a most memorable birthday EVER and nailed a flat tire. (Because there are the separate party days then the actual birthday, so really three events.) She showed up and kept the kids in stitches.
My son and I went to the party store to set his theme: pirates. His colors were black and red. I tried to make his vision of pirate dreams a reality.

In a few months, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (SLS) will end his 5 years tenure as the Governor of the CBN and the race for his successor is getting hotter by the day.
The position of the Governor of the Central Bank is an important one and a wrong choice could have negative impact on the economy. In fact we are already feeling the effect of the exit of SLS in the foreign exchange market and the capital market. Participants in both markets are not sure whether the next Governor will continue with the current tight monetary stance and the policy of managing the Naira exchange rate as a key policy tool in managing inflation. Hence the two markets have been trending down in the last few months. Off course there are other reasons for the downward trend one of which is that globally markets have been trending down but the uncertainty surrounding the next Governor is certainly a factor.
A number of ex bank CEOs and current bank CEOs are among the contenders for the job. Among them are accountants and lawyers, we have had an accountant as a Governor but I cannot recall us having a lawyer. The job of the Central Bank Governor is one of the few jobs where the man at the helm is required to have a sound grasp of the technical aspects of the job. In most other jobs, the man at the helm is expected to be a good leader and may not necessarily be an expert in the technical aspect of the job.
Off course most of the contenders who are not economists are probably right now taking a crash course in economics but will a one year course make them experts in monetary policy compared to someone who has been thinking and breathing such concepts for the last 25 years?
Beyond the technicalities are these contenders independent enough to lead our economy forward or will they easily bow to political pressure and do the bidding of the president and the legislative arm of government? And there will be a lot of pressure as we head into the pressure cooker of an election year. Some of the contenders can be said to be in bed with the executive arm of government and it is hard to see them being independent.
And then there is the important question of integrity. SLS has so far been able to escape unscathed because of his integrity. Some of the contenders are tainted and their enemies will surely use such weaknesses to the detriment of our collective good.
I sincerely hope the government will make a good choice otherwise it will be a very bumpy 5 years which will surely make us wish for the good old days of SLS.

Building the Right Environment to Support AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
The state of Massachusetts is teaming up with Harvard, MIT, UMass Amherst, Boston University and Northeastern University to create a cloud computing infrastructure marketplace. Called the "Massachusetts Open Cloud," the project hopes to make it easy for buyers to purchase cloud computing services from multiple vendors. For example, people could buy storage from one vendor, compute power from a second, and memory from someone else.
Red Hat is also involved with the project. "For us I would see the key opportunities we see around MOC is operational access, understanding large scale cloud infrastructure, and growing skills [around these areas]," said Red Hat's Jan Mark Holtzer. "We will rotate resources from support and consulting organizations so they can get first hand experience."

This Instant Pot Beef Burgundy Bourguignon Instant Pot Recipe is super easy and such a robust, flavorful beef stew that everyone will kiss you for making.
Instant Pot Beef Burgundy Bourguignon Recipe | Instant Pot Rivals Julia's
Hi. It's Lois, telling you about my experience making Instant Pot Beef Burgundy Bourguignon in my new Instant Pot. It's a simple, make-it-in-one-pot recipe, that is so packed with flavor, I will definitely make it over and over. In fact, I have already made it three times before I even put up the recipe! I made it once with beef, once with lamb and that last time, I made it vegetarian. And it is SO AMAZING. I modified each recipe a bit, so I will put all three recipes up soon.
This recipe is based on The Best Instant Pot Beef Bourguignon recipe from The View from Great Island. All the other recipes I found for regular Beef Bourguignon call for bacon and some call for bay leaves, so I switched up Sue's original recipe a bit by adding both. It was to die for!
If you are a pro at Instant Pots, you can make this recipe in about an hour and a half. The actual pressure cooking time is 30 minutes, but you have to sauté the meat in the beginning, and wait 15 minutes for the pressure to reduce after cooking. Being that I'm an Instant Pot newbie and a mechanical idiot, it took me two hours, start to finish. But it was SO worth it and easily doable after work, especially of you prep the veggies earlier in the day or week.
Did you know that Worcestershire sauce contains anchovies? It is gluten free, though. If you are not big on anchovies, you might want to try this Vegan/Gluten Free Worcestershire Sauce.
Check out the recipe.
Instant Pot Beef Burgundy Bourguignon Recipe
Instant Pot Beef Burgundy Bourguignon
This Instant Pot Beef Burgundy Bourguignon is a hearty beef stew you can make in your Instant Pot, even better than Julia Child's version.
- 4 thick cut slices bacon cut in 1" pieces
- 1 ½ pounds boneless chuck roast or top sirloin steak cubed in about 2" pieces
- 2 tablespoons gluten free flour more will be needed at the end
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ cup brandy or cognac
- 1 bouquet garni comprised of a small bunch of fresh thyme and 1 bay leaf tied with kitchen string
- 1 medium onion cut in chunks
- 4 stalks of celery diced
- 1 ½ pounds of small red potatoes washed and quartered
- 8 carrots peeled and cut in 2" chunks
- 1 pound small Portobello cremini mushrooms, washed (and quartered if larger size)
- 1 heaping tablespoon of minced garlic
- 1 cup red wine burgundy preferred
- 2 cups beef broth reserve ¼ cup for slurry at end
- 1 heaping tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon gluten free Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet browning sauce
- 1 cup frozen pearl onions
- 4 tablespoons gluten free flour (mixed with remaining ¼ cup beef broth)
Press the Sauté button on your Instant Pot. When the sensor reads "Hot," put the bacon pieces in and sauté them until crispy, stirring periodically.
While the bacon is cooking, mix 2 tablespoons of gluten free flour with the salt and pepper. Then toss the beef cubes in this mixture until well coated.
Add the floured beef to the pot and sauté in small batches until nicely browned on all sides.
Remove the beef and bacon and set aside for a bit.
Deglaze the pot with the brandy. This means pour the brandy in and using a wooden spoon, scrape and loosen all the little brown pieces of meat and goodies that are in the bottom of the pan.
Add the meat, onion, celery, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and garlic to the pot.
Press "cancel" to stop the sauté function.
In a bowl, whisk together the red wine, beef broth (reserve ¼ cup), tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour this mixture into the pot and give the pot a little stir.
Add the bouquet garni.
Close and lock the lid, setting the vent to seal. Press "pressure cook," setting the pressure to "high" and the time to "30."
While the meal is cooking, whisk together the remaining beef broth with 4 tablespoons of gluten free flour and the Kitchen Bouquet browning sauce, which makes what is called a slurry sauce.
When the machine beeps, press cancel and let it rest for 15 minutes before releasing the pressure valve.
Open the lid and remove the thyme bundle.
Set the pot to "sauté" and add the pearl onions and the slurry sauce. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the gravy thickens (about 5 minutes). Serve immediately in soup bowls.

The Americans are the only team making any significant changes from prelims on the men's 400 free relay, after three countries switched out two swimmers for the women.
Nathan Adrian and Caeleb Dressel move in for the U.S. while Townley Haas (47.60) and Blake Pieroni (48.40 lead-off) were good enough to stay on for the final. Adrian and Dressel take over for Zach Apple (48.16) and Michael Chadwick (48.74).
The only other notable switch is Danila Izotov into the lead-off slot for the Russians, moving out Aleksandr Popkov who was relatively weak this morning with a 49.05 lead-off.
There weren't a ton of order switches either, but Australia has moved Jack Cartwright onto the lead-off leg with Cameron McEvoy swimming third.

Just got volume 1 in the mail yesterday. Great book. Having fun with the first 4 or 5 examples. Just trying to get the metronome down. Having an easier time with the faster speeds than the slower.
waiting for volume one to get here. looking forward to getting started. anyone else just getting started ?
I went to a FPG workshop about a year and a half ago and bought volume 3 (Flatpicking fiddle tunes).
For Christmas my wife got me volume 1.
I enjoy reading about history but wasn't really expecting it in these volumes. What I expected was just another instruction book, boy was I wrong!
I really appreciate the history Dan gives in each of these volumes.
Thanks for the education Dan!!

Thriller, Mystery
Doubleday Canada
February 11, 2014
eBook, print
West Hall has always been a town of strange disappearances and legends. The most mysterious is that of Sara Harrison Shea, who was found murdered in the field behind her house in 1908, a few short months after the tragic death of her daughter, Gertie, drove her mad. People say that Sara's ghost still walks after dark, and some leave offerings on their doorstep to keep her from entering their homes uninvited.
Now, in present day, Ruthie lives in Sara's farmhouse with her mother, Alice, and her younger sister, Fawn. Alice has always insisted that they remain on the fringes, living off the land without internet or outside interference. But one morning Ruthie wakes up to find that Alice has disappeared without a trace. When she searches the house for clues, she is startled to find a secret compartment beneath the floorboards that contains two objects. One, a gun. And two, a copy of Sara Harrison Shea's diary.
The story the diary tells is one of a mother skating on the edge of sanity, willing to do whatever she can to bring her daughter back even if it means dabbling in dark and dangerous territory. As Ruthie gets sucked deeper into the mystery of Sara's death, she discovers that she's not the only one looking for someone that they've lost. But she may be the only one who can stop history from repeating itself.
The story of a little girl named Gertie who died.
Whose mother loved her too much to let her go.
So she brought her back.
Only the world she came back to wasn't the same.
She wasn't the same.
I requested this book from NetGalley and PRAYED that I would be approved. You might have heard my squeal of joy when I was granted approval to read it and give an honest review.
These days, I don't read most books more than once. My To Read list is too long and too full of great books I haven't read yet. Every once in awhile, though, I read a book that makes me want to flip back to the beginning and read it again. When I read that sort of book, it gets five stars.
I'm a big fan of Jennifer McMahon. I find her stories eerie, spooky, slightly scary and enormously entertaining. I was highly anticipating The Winter People and it did not disappoint. I was even thinking about it this morning, the weight of the entire story on my shoulders, on my mind.
This novel is told in dual time periods via entries from Sara Harrison Shea's diary from 1908-1910 and present day Ruthie, Alice and Fawn who live in the same house. As always, McMahon introduces a little bit of black magic via Sara's Auntie, who tells Sara of how to make the dead undead, that is bring the dead back to life. This information becomes necessary when her beloved daughter Gertie disappears and is found later at the bottom of a well.
Many years later, Alice is raising her two daughter after the death of her husband. They live 'off the grid' and under the radar, a decision that proves to be a problem when Alice disappears into thin air one morning. Ruthie searches the house for reasons as to why Alice would leave and finds clues that don't make sense– two wallets belonging to people who've been missing for years and a loaded gun. As well, a backpack with an expensive camera and sensitive information. These items, as innocent as they seem, bring Ruthie and young Fawn into the story of Sara Harrison Shea and the 'Sleepers', or the undead.
I love a story with a lot of layers and details and fine fibers that wind together. What happens in 1908 has a direct effect on Present day Ruthie and Alice and unbelievably, the past completely collides with and is enveloped in the present.
I don't want to give away too much, I'll just say that "Sleepers never sleep". Auntie said that if a Sleeper took a life during the seven days they walk the earth after awakening, they don't go away again… they are stuck here forever. Let that bit of information guide and inform you!
I truly enjoyed this book and could see re-reading it quite soon.

Festival of Debate
April - June 2018
A sister venture of Now Then, we started Festival of Debate in the lead-up to the 2015 General Election and it went down so well that we made it an annual fixture. Since then we have run over 200 Festival of Debate events in Sheffield.
Next year we will run the festival in multiple venues across the city between 20 April and 29 June, programming around 50 events with a number of partner organisations and individuals. Keynote speeches, panel discussions, workshops, film screenings, poetry, spoken word, theatre – we're open to any event format that explores the important social issues of the day.
We are still planning the 2018 programme and it's really important to us that this is a collaborative process, so if you've got ideas, please get in touch. Your level of commitment can range from, 'Hey, here's a good idea for an event,' to, 'I'd like to run the whole thing myself under the festival banner.' The important thing for us is getting as many people involved as we can. We can also offer a number of volunteering opportunities, so if you've got free time on your hands and are looking for something meaningful to do, get in touch.
Drop us a line before Christmas if you're interested - email@example.com.
Theatre Deli
1-31 December
We've been huge fans of Theatre Deli since its opening in the Old Woolworths on the Moor in 2014, and it's been a pleasure to host so many events there ourselves, so it was great to see the team take on a bigger and better space in a former retail unit on Eyre Street, next door to Office Outlet near the bottom of the Moor.
Following the great success of last year's immersive adaptation of The Great Gatsby, this festive season Deli are again teaming up with mischief makers The Guild of Misrule for their Christmas production, Neverland, which producer Brian Hook describes as being "all the things we love about theatre".
Featuring strong storytelling and an original score, the two-hour immersive musical inspired by Peter Pan encourages the audience to rediscover their inner child, something that would probably do some of us a lot of good. The Lost Boys, of course, are out in force, alongside swashbuckling pirates and more, and we're reliably informed that the rum will be flowing, so be careful with that.
Tickets are priced at £21 or £16 concessions and there will also be two special performances: The Lost Boy's Christmas Party on 23 December (£25) and The Tinker Ball on New Year's Eve (£35). Tickets available via sheffieldtheatres.co.uk. Miss it, miss out.

Talking about transplants: social representations and the dialectical, dilemmatic nature of organ donation and transplantation
Document Type
Publication details
Moloney, G & Walker, I 2002, 'Talking about transplants: social representations and the dialectical, dilemmatic nature of organ donation and transplantation', British Journal of Social Psychology, vol. 41, no. 2, pp. 299 – 320.
Published version available from:
Peer Reviewed
In many westernized countries, organ donation rates are low in comparison with the need for life-saving organ transplants, and are at odds with generally high community endorsement of organ donation. This is particularly true for Western Australia, the location of this study. This contradiction between endorsement and donation is investigated within a framework that draws from Moscovici's (1984) theory of Social Representations, Guimelli's (1998) differentiation between normative and functional dimensions of the central core, and Billig's (1988) rhetorical position on the role of argumentation in discourse. Four focus group discussions on organ donation and transplantation were conducted. Analysis of the discourse suggests that the social representation of organ donation and transplantation can be understood best as a representational field organized around two dialectically 'opposed' images-the gift of life and the mechanistic removal and replacement of body parts. The normative and functional expression of these two images as a pro-donation stance and a qualified pro-donation stance is discussed, as is the role of argumentation in the production of a social representation.

No long-term payoff for March Madness Cinderellas
Every year fans, of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament are on the lookout for the next "Cinderella story" of a small, usually obscure school that manages to slay some of the giants competing in "The Big Dance" -- and earn a few bucks for themselves along the way.
In 2013, it was Florida Gulf Coast University's turn to bask in the glow of media attention after the Eagles, who were nicknamed "Dunk City," upset better-known schools Georgetown and San Diego State before losing to home-state rival Florida in the Sweet 16. Though the Fort Myers, Florida, college hasn't turned into a pumpkin, it has noticed a drop-off in interest from its earlier peak.
According to a study it conducted, applications from prospective students jumped 29.9 percent during the 2013-2014 school year only to decline the following year. Wholesale sales of licensed merchandise such as athletic apparel soared 200 percent from 2012 to 2013. Those sales also dropped subsequently.
Indeed, FGCU didn't make the Tournament in 2014 and was relegated to the less prestigious NIT, where it lost in the first round to Florida State. But FGCU just made the cut for March Madness this year and faced North Carolina in Thursday's opening round -- and lost 83-67.
Referring to Cinderella schools, Victor Matheson, a sports economist at the College of the Holy Cross, said: "Their success on the court tends to be fairly fleeting. We usually don't see Cinderella coming back to the dance year after year and upsetting the high-ranked teams."
Since FGCU had its moment of athletic glory, it has made the most its opportunity. The college has raised $91 million of the $100 million that it had expected to reach by 2017. The school has also spruced up its campus and opened its Emergent Technologies Institute. How long these benefits will last, however, is difficult to say.
"There is insufficient evidence for more permanent long-term effects from isolated and ephemeral tournament flashes," wrote Vanderbilt University economist John Vrooman in an email.
George Mason was another Cinderella Story that captured the public's imagination after it made the Final Four in 2006. A study done by the Fairfax, Virginia, school at the time noted a decrease in student appointments for counseling at the height of March Madness, while fund-raising benefited.
However, George Mason hasn't made the tournament since 2011, and average attendance for basketball games has plummeted since then to 4,300 from 6,834, according to the school.
Some teams, such as Butler University and Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), have made the transformation from Cinderellas to contenders. Butler first attracted fans' attention in 1997 when it made the tournament for the first time since 1962. The Indianapolis school has been a regular participant since then, making it to the 2010 championship where it lost to Duke.
VCU shocked sports fans when it made the Final Four in 2011. It has appeared in the tournament in subsequent years, though it hasn't been able to duplicate its earlier success. Both universities are Final Four hopefuls this year.
Like other teams participating in the tournament, any financial success that FGCU, Butler and VCU score on the basketball court will be limited. The NCAA funnels tournament money through athletic conferences. Teams earn "units" that are valued at $265,791 for their conferences based on the number of games played. The NCAA, which picks up the expenses for teams in the tournament, encourages but does not require teams to dole out the money equally.
Most colleges do not earn a profit on athletics. An NCAA study found that in 2013 only 3 percent of men's basketball programs generated a surplus. No women's teams were profitable.

See Credit Details Below
Described as the worst drug epidemic in U.S. history and akin to a modern plague, the number of deaths resulting from opioid overdose has now exceeded 400,000. Not surprisingly, suits have been filed seeking to assign responsibility for this crisis. Generally, they allege that pharmaceutical companies conducted misleading marketing campaigns that improperly influenced doctors and patients about the dangers of opioid addiction and overdose. These suits also allege that pharmaceutical companies and distributors ignored obvious signs that opioids were being distributed in exceedingly increasing numbers. Settlements are starting to follow, with McKesson agreeing to pay $37 million to settle West Virginia's suit against the manufacturer on May 2, and Purdue Pharma agreeing to pay $270 million in late March to end Oklahoma's suit against the manufacturer. Additionally, criminal charges have now followed for both pharmaceutical companies and prescribing physicians. In May 2019, for example, a Boston jury convicted the founder of Insys Therapeutics Inc., John Kapoor, among others, of conspiring to provide doctors with cash and other perks in exchange for their over-prescribing Insys' pricey fentanyl spray. Similarly, doctors are being charged across the country with manslaughter or related charges stemming from their failure to responsibly monitor their patient's conditions, including potential addiction.
Join us as Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP attorneys Howard R. Sklamberg and Stanley E. Woodward Jr. provide an overview of the current state of the legal landscape of the opioid epidemic and an assessment of where we go from here. Mr. Sklamberg is a partner in the Firm's Health Care and Life Sciences practice and most-recently served as Deputy Commissioner for Global Regulatory Operations and Policy at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Mr. Woodward is a Senior Counsel in the Firm's litigation practice and is responsible for managing high-stakes litigation for multi-national companies, including those facing product liability exposure.
Topics Include:
- An overview of the opioid legal landscape (including pending civil and criminal suits);
- A practitioner's insight into the potential exposure of companies in the opioid chain of production; and
- An expert's assessment of the FDA's path forward for mitigating risks presented by the opioid epidemic.

A decade after London bombings, UK stays alert
The official threat level In the United Kingdom from international terrorism is set at 'severe', which means a terrorist act is highly likely.world Updated: Jul 06, 2015 17:22 IST
It's the kind of landmark event that evokes the question: Where were you on that day? Where were you on September 11? Where were you on July 7? As London prepares to mark a decade of the 7/7 bombings, Britain remains on high alert.
The official threat level from international terrorism is set at 'severe', which means a terrorist act is highly likely. The recent Tunisia killings are being seen as the worst terrorist act against Britons since the 7/7 London bombings, since 30 of the 38 dead with Britons.
Hours before the tenth anniversary, a man draped in an Islamic State flag was spotted near the houses of parliament. Officials remain concerned over the steady flow of Britons travelling to Syria to join IS via various destinations.
Fifty-two people were killed and over 700 injured when British youths detonated four bombs in London during the rush hour on 7 July 2005. Lives were lost or changed forever.
Chris Allen of the University of Birmingham told HT "As we approach the 10th anniversary of the 7/7 terror attacks, attention will rightly focus on the sheer horror of the unfolding events and the tragic loss of life. The legacy left by these events has, however, been more far-reaching than expected, having a profound impact on how we go about our everyday lives".
"From more security checks at airports and increased monitoring of social media, to new counter-terror measures requiring public sector workers to play a greater role in combating extremism and schools being required to teach 'British values', the impact has been significant", he said.
However, Allen said that the greatest impact was in terms of Britain's multiculturalism.
"Blamed by some for having created a raft of different social problems, the past decade has seen many, including David Cameron, call for the death of multiculturalism. The consequences of this can be seen in research showing that as well as people becoming less tolerant of each other, levels of racism are at a 20-year high".
The British news media have been focussing on the tenth anniversary with interviews of people affected, including officials who dealt with the incidents.

Fire on Golf Course Challenges Columbia Firefighters
COLUMBIA - The location of an early Monday morning fire challenged Columbia Fire Department firefighters.
Columbia Fire Department firefighters responded to the Country Club of Missouri's golf course on the 1200 block of Willowcreek Lane around 3:11 a.m. They found a bathroom pavillion on fire near the 14th tee box.
Captain John Metz said because of there were no significant roads near the fire on the course, firefighters had to extend their hoses approximately 400 feet to put out the flames. He said this is double the length they usually extend their hoses to.
Metz said after they made the adjustment, they had the fire under control in a matter of about five minutes.
He said investigators have yet to determine a cause and there were no injuries. He said the damage estimate is $12,000.
