Brisbane's Anna Meares' Velodrome will host the 2019-2020 Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup from 13-15 December.
The 2019-2020 UCI Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup, secured by the Queensland Government via Tourism and Events Queensland in partnership with Brisbane City Council via Brisbane Marketing and Cycling Australia, is expected to attract thousands of riders and spectators to Queensland's capital.
At the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Game, the Australian Cycling Team net a total of 19 medals.
Tourism Industry Development Minister Kate Jones said the event reaffirmed Queensland's position as a global sporting events hub and follows the announcement of the Brisbane Cycling Festival package of events from 2019-2021.
"The Commonwealth Games put Queensland on the map as one of the major events capitals of the world," she said.
"We're building on that legacy to secure more major events to Queensland to grow our tourism sector.
"The 2019-2020 Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup will be staged in December 2019 and will make use of vital Commonwealth Games legacy infrastructure at the Anna Meares Velodrome – the home of indoor cycling events during the Games.
"This event will see some of the world's best cyclists converge on Brisbane, luring cycling fans from across the globe to Queensland to experience the best of what we have to offer in our state.
"Before the Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup we'll host the inaugural Brisbane Cycling Festival from March to April next year. This event is forecast to generate about $8 million across its three-year lifetime.
"The popularity of cycling amongst Australians coupled with the high calibre of cyclists the event is set to attract will ensure the success of this new Queensland event.
"The Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup adds to Queensland's growing events calendar, now worth $780 million to the state's economy."
Lord Mayor Graham Quirk said securing the 2019 UCI Track World Cup was another coup for Brisbane, following the recent announcement the city would stage the Brisbane Cycling Festival.
"Hosting the 2019-2020 Tissot UCI Cycling Track World Cup once again demonstrates our city's ability to stage first-rate cycling events and the world-class Anna Meares Velodrome will be a fitting host venue for the competition," Cr Quirk said.
"This is the first UCI world track cycling event to be hosted by Australia since 2012, establishing Brisbane as the home of track racing.
"Major events are important to Brisbane – they draw in visitors and fill hotel rooms, boost the hospitality, service and retail sectors and profile the city on the world stage."
Cycling Australia CEO Steve Drake said "It will be fantastic to see this premier event held in this world-class facility. We saw during the Commonwealth Games just how passionate fans are for the Australian Cycling Team so we cannot wait."
Australian Cycling Team Member and 2018 Commonwealth Games Gold Medallist, Alex Porter, was ecstatic about the announcement.
"I can't wait to line up in the green and gold for a Track World Cup in our own backyard. It's such an important part for the build-up for Tokyo 2020 and having a home crowd advantage gives us all such a buzz."

Julianne L., is a "50 something" female engineer, who is employed at a local quasi-public utility. She has been a patient of record for some time.
She had implant fixtures placed in the upper right and left posterior, as well as the lower left posterior. It is evident from the photographs below, however, that the lower arch reflects badly worn teeth in need of reconstruction.
After careful evaluation and review, it was determined that the best course of action was to replace all the crowns in the lower arch at a new increased height to compensate for the worn tooth structure. The lower incisors were prepared for all Porcelain Jacket Crowns. The full cast gold crowns in the lower arch match complementary full cast gold crowns in the upper arch. The completed case is found in the photographs below.
If you would like to discuss the foregoing case or any other case posted here on the eastboyntondental.com website, please feel free to contact us. Our staff is always willing to listen to you.

Quick confession, when we first paired this look I was extremely hesitant. On the bed the shirt looked miles to big, and the shoes screamed, 'Jesus where you at?'
However, once Natercia threw on the shirt, rolled the sleeves up, and grabbed a few accessories . . . I thought "darn, we did good". I swear I left her house and hunted in my dads closet for my own oversized shirt.

EvtecHs Elly Phase 1
This is about the "Evtechs Elevation Sidestep" or "Elly"
as in "I chucked an Elly!"
Do each Phase in the order presented (Phase 1, 2, 3 and so on)
You want solid foundations.
Master each Phase before you move on to the next.
If you have any problems, drop back to the previous Phase.
Forget about why you do things... each Phase has a specific purpose.
Things you must do
- examine closely what you are asked to do
- do exactly what you are asked to do - nothing more, nothing less
- repeat the step many, many (hundreds of) times to embed it in your body memory...it will become part of you...so you eventually do things instinctively...it may seem easy now...this will make sure you do it under pressure, without even thinking!
- do every Session in the correct order because each one builds on all previous ones
Your first steps...
Be alone, away from interruptions and prying eyes.
What you are about to do may seem strange and/or intriguing to others.
It is best for you to avoid comments and questions at this stage.
You also help sustain the intrigue and mystery surrounding sidesteps.
Imagine a future time when you, out of the blue, unleash your devastating new skill!
Watch this short video.
Do exactly as shown
This is "Walking 123Hup"
The video shows most of what you must know and do.
To be certain you include every detail correctly and so
you are confident
you are doing it well
step by step instructions follow.
EvtecHs Elly Phase 1 step by step
- forget military, think panther/leopard
- stand upright, feet together
- use left foot or right foot first, whichever you prefer
- start walking slowly
- as you walk, when each foot touches the floor, count each step
- you may count aloud or count inside your head
- now you are walking slowly, saying "ONE".... "TWO".... "THREE"
- at the fourth step, pause briefly
- with your foot out in front, in the air, above the ground
- pull your toes up so your leg and foot form a letter "V"
- at the same time say "Hup"
- let that foot go to the floor
- when it touches the floor, say "ONE" again
- to recap... the same foot is both "Hup" (when in the air) and "ONE" when it eventually touches down on the ground
- keep going so you continue through the cycle again
- so... you are walking slowly saying "1,2,3,Hup", "1,2,3,Hup", "1,2,3,Hup"
- make the "Hup" last the same amount of time as each of the "1,2,3" counts
- go through these steps slowly, evenly and rhythmically
- the count of three steps is important because it causes you to raise your legs alternately
- do extra repetitions at home, down the hallway or across your bedroom!
- repeat
- keep repeating
- create a groove in your brain..."1,2,3,Hup", "1,2,3,Hup", "1,2,....
- then move on, you can always come back and do some more
- you can even do it on the spot - go through the motions "1,2,3,Hup"
- gradually speed up, until you are doing it as fast as you can WALK
That is all for Phase 1
When you are confident
you can do this under pressure
move on to Phase 2
Go to Elly training Phase 2

We've teamed up with fraud expert Tim Mitchell from Get Safe Online to help you stay one step ahead of the fraudsters and spot even the most cunning of scams.
It's a common scenario: you open up your emails and there in your inbox is an email congratulating you on your million pound win. All you have to do is click the link to share all your account details and pay £100 to cover the transfer fee. It can be pretty easy to scoff at examples like this. After all you'd never fall for it, right?
But losing money to a scam is much easier than you'd think. In fact, 190,000 cases of identity fraud were reported in 2018. Anyone can fall victim to an online scam and end up losing money. And as technology gets more sophisticated and we share more and more online, it's going to be even more important to equip yourself with the tools to prevent yourself from becoming another statistic.
So, to help stop it happening to you, we've teamed up with fraud expert Tim Mitchell from Get Safe Online, the longest-running and one of the most respected sources of information and advice on internet safety and avoiding fraud in the UK. With his help you'll be able to identify even the most cunning of online scams to keep your money and your identity safe online.
What is the number one type of fraud that you think our users need to be aware of in 2018?
The biggest issue at the moment is definitely people falling victim to what we call 'social engineering' fraud. This simply means manipulating or tricking someone into performing certain actions, such as divulging personal or financial information. A con, in other words.
Unfortunately, financial fraud has always been a massive issue, but as we live more of our lives online more and more people are becoming vulnerable to this type of fraud, and more and more people are losing money to it. But social engineering is an easy one to avoid, if you know the warning signs.
To help our users steer clear, how do these social engineering scams trick people into handing over too much information?
At Get Safe Online we've seen how social engineering scams come in all shapes and sizes ranging from the ridiculous to the nearly impossible to identify. And unfortunately people are falling for these every day. Here are the mains ones you need to be aware of:
Email scams
Scams are very common via email, so make sure you pay attention to what lands in your inbox. Fraudsters often pretend to be someone official such as a bank, online retailer, or a government agency. They'll then ask you to share confidential private information such as your banking details or login details to your accounts. Some fraudulent emails contain an attachment which, if clicked, can lead to a virus or even spyware being downloaded on to your computer or mobile.
Social media scams
We've seen a big rise in people losing money through social media, and I reckon we'll see this one grow over the next few years. You may have seen Facebook posts promising a free £50 supermarket voucher in return for clicking on a link. Just consider why a supermarket would give money away like this before you click.
So does this sort of thing only happen online or should we be keeping watch elsewhere too?
*Phone call scams
It's certainly not all online, in fact some of the most convincing scams come via a phone call. Typically, you'll get a call from someone claiming to be from your bank, telling you that your account has been 'hacked' or taken over by an unauthorised user, and that the bank needs your OK to move your balance into a new account. In reality a bank would never ask for your details over the phone.
Another kind of phone call scam is the computer support scam. I was working at an online safety event recently, and a man told me that his computer had been locked by ransomware, asking me how this might have happened. He swore that, knowing the dangers, he hadn't clicked on any links or attachments. It was only after probing, that he told me he'd had a call from 'Microsoft' a couple of weeks earlier, and the nice operative on the other end had fixed his problem. What had in fact happened, is that the caller was a scammer, who had infected his computer with the malware. Not only that, but he'd been charged as well!
What are the main warning signs that will help users identify even the trickiest of scams?
Is the email threatening you to take action RIGHT NOW?
Typically, emails claiming to be from your bank, the DVLA or the police will tell you that there's a problem that will result in your money or identity being put at risk, and will urge you to click through to a website to take action. This will normally involve supplying your confidential login details. Any email that asks you to take action immediately is likely to be suspect. It's designed to make you flustered in the hope you'll make a mistake.
Have you been promised a reward, a competition win or a tax refund?
Any email or call claiming to be giving you money should be considered with a watchful eye. Especially if they are demanding your details in order to claim it. Reveal your logins, and a fraudster has free rein to get into your bank account (and maybe other accounts if you use the same details).
Could the email have been sent to anyone?
Generic greetings like 'Dear Sir or Madam' or 'Dear valued customer' are an easy sign that this email has probably been fired off to as many email addresses as possible, rather than an email from a real person or company.
Sometimes everything looks pretty legitimate, but there's a link you're not too sure about. How exactly can you weed out the fakes?
It can sometimes be tricky to identify a dodgy link. The key is to check that the domain name matches the legitimate one (which you can find through a quick google search).
Here's an example. Let's say you've got an email asking you to follow a link to reactivate your account with PayPal. How can you tell if these links are the real deal or a fake?
- http://www.paypal-reactivate.com/link
- http://www.reactivate-account.com/paypal
- http://www.paypal.com.11982pypl.com/reactivate
The trick here is to look for the first hyphen (/) after the http:// and then go back to the next two dots. What's in between those is the true domain name and tells you what site you'll be accessing if you click. You can see that actually none of these have a domain name of paypal.com or paypal.co.uk. The first may have PayPal in it, but it's really taking you to a site 'paypal-reactivate.com', the second to 'reactivate-account.com' and the third is directing you to the even dodgier sounding '11982pypl.com'.
If you're not sure about a link, type it into your browser before clicking on it so that you can see the full address.
If you get an email that seems to come from someone a bit odd, how can our users be sure it's a scam?
A fake email is one of the hardest things to spot as fraudsters can get pretty cunning. Let's try out another example. Which of these do you think could be a scam account?
- paypal@accounts. com
- customerservcie@santender. com
Actually, both of these addresses are probably fake. With the first one the domain name is 'accounts.com' so this could literally be from anyone. Always check that the correct company name comes after the @ as that will confirm who it's really coming from. The second one is easy to miss, but the giveaway here is that there are a few spelling mistakes, particularly in the name of the bank. This is another clear sign of a scam.
And finally, what do you think is the one crucial thing that will help make sure our users stay one step ahead of the fraudsters?
The most crucial thing that's going to help keep your money safe online is being aware of how often scams happen and how easy they are for anyone to fall for. The "it'll never happen to me" attitude is what fraudsters take advantage of every day.
We recently did some research to investigate this and the results were pretty shocking. 80% of respondents to our survey said they could confidently identify a fraudulent approach. However, in a separate test of over 63,000 people, only 9% who completed our quiz scored full marks. That's a pretty eye-watering stat and just goes to show how anyone can become a victim, however smart or savvy.
To help stop this, it's all about changing your mindset so that you remain vigilant (but not paranoid). Always just take 5 minutes to stop and think before clicking on a potentially fake link or attachment, or giving information out over the phone. While online fraud is a big issue at the moment, the big thing to know is that you can often easily prevent it, if you keep an eye out.

This week, Hamburg will be hosting the IAPH World Ports Conference. Until 5 June, international representatives from business, politics, and science will be discussing changing requirements and alternative courses of action in times of globalisation and climate change. The Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) as organiser of the global event will be presenting its "smartPORT" concept. At the five-day conference, guests will thus gain insights on intelligent port management in Hamburg, Europe, and the world.
Smart Port in Focus
In this context, Jens Meier, CEO Hamburg Port Authority, will explain the economic and logistical processes that rendered the Port of Hamburg more efficient and sustainable by an advanced computer-based infrastructure. Michael Pal, principal analyst for logistics at Western Australia's Fremantle Ports, will demonstrate by "Truck Marshalling Automation and Control Key Performance Indicator" the Australian perspective of intelligent port management. In addition, representatives from Stockholm, Valencia, and the Far East will provide answers to the question of what will make port a smart one.
A Challenge to Port's Worldwide: the Growing Size of Vessels
To kick off the conference, a discussion on ship size developments will be held, with the panel discussing, inter alia, the challenges faced by ports, terminals and captains in the clearance of mega-carriers. As an introduction to this question, general overviews on the global economic developments will be given by Peter Hinchliffe, Secretary General International Chamber of Shipping, and Dr. Christian Growitsch, Director of the Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWI).
The Importance of "Wow"
The last day will be devoted to cruise, port law, and air purity in ports. In addition, the IAPH Women's Forum will meet to address the question "how diversity contributes to smart thinking". In the cruise session, Douglas Ward, author of the Berlitz Cruise Guide, will give insights into the importance of the "wow effect" when marketing cruise offers. In the port law session, which will be held parallel, legal experts devote from Rotterdam, London and Hamburg will address the question of legal domicile in maritime law. They will also address the question of appropriate insurance policies for ports in case of accidents. Is ship cargo still sufficiently insured today? Who will be held liable in the event of loss or injury in ports?
Attractive Side Events
The conference will be accompanied by attractive side events allowing to get to know the beautiful sides of Hamburg and to network with international colleagues. In the evening, HPA will invite conference participants to enjoy the elegance of historic buildings in the heart of the Hanseatic city. In addition, guests will be able to join excursions and experience the smart port of Hamburg at close and first hand. To discover the conference programme in depth, please click to www.iaph2015.org.

Sign Up for Spring Sports!
Spring is just around the corner. And for many parents, this means that spring sports sign ups are occurring at your local recreation departments. The good news about spring is that most rec departments offer a wide variety of sports to choose from, from soccer and baseball, to softball, gymnastics, and field hockey, plus many more. Chances are, there is an activity that will suit your child's personality just perfectly!
As a mother of 4 daughters, I never in a million years thought that my children would be so involved in sports. Yet they are. All 4 of them play fastpitch softball beginning in the spring until late November. Although the time, money, and effort on my part it takes to get them to their games and practice (along with being the wife of the coach) is exhausting and sometimes overwhelming, I have to say I think all kids should be involved in some sort of activity.
Don't get me wrong. You should enjoy the lack of structure when you have a child under the age of 4 in your home. But once they get a little older, and show an interest – sports coupled with positive parental involvement can be one of the best things you can do for your child. For young kiddos, practices held once or maybe twice a week are just enough to keep them busy without wearing them (or you) out.
I am a firm believer that sports keep kids out of trouble, and that the lessons they learn on the field, or in the gym with their peers, are life lessons. Life lessons that cannot be taught inside the home. Plus, they are getting exercise, building self confidence, learning how to socialize, becoming part of something bigger than themselves, and finding a productive outlet for all their energy and frustrations.
Having teenage twins, I have to say that if it were not for sports, I am not sure how they would be spending their time. Practices, games, tournaments, and the like keep them busy and have definitely played a huge part in keeping them out of trouble. When I gauge their behavior versus some of their peers of the same age that are not involved in anything extracurricular, there is a MASSIVE difference.
Even if your child isn't the competitive type, or shies away from group sports – encourage them to do something this spring. Sign them up for a recreation league – and by all means volunteer to coach. While you will come across some parents who take things way to seriously, chances are you will come across more parents who – like yourself – just want their kids to get off the couch and learn something new.
Does your child play spring sports? Have you seen positive results from them doing so?

In a city as fast-paced as New York, it seems like there's constant business turnover and growth. Things seem to pop up and disappear, so it's a wonder that there are institutions that are still standing after generations. But New Yorkers know what they like, and they stick to it. Take a look at some quintessentially New York businesses that are still thriving, even after decades of change.
1. Katz's Delicatessen
205 East Houston Street | Lower East Side, Manhattan
The famed delicatessen has been serving corned beef and other classics since 1888. Originally established as Iceland Brothers on Ludlow Street, it later became Iceland and Katz in 1903, and Katz's Delicatessen in 1903. The present storefront facade was added in 1946-1949 to a lot on Houston Street. Katz's became a cornerstone in the neighborhood, a gathering place for immigrants and their families. Today, the iconic deli has expanded to another location in Brooklyn at the Dekalb Market Hall.
2. C.O. Bigelow Apothecaries
414 6th Ave | Greenwich Village, Manhattan
C.O. Bigelow has been established in New York for almost two centuries. Founded in 1838 by Dr. Galen Hunter to provide prescriptions and healing remedies, the shop was purchased and renamed the in 1880 by Clarence Otis Bigelow. The current Greenwich Village location has been the apothecary's home since 1902, and the shop still sells items formulated decades ago.
3. Moscot NYC
118 Orchard Street | Lower East Side, Manhattan
Moscot's iconic eyewear has been a New York staple since 1915. In 1899, Hyman Moscot entered New York and joined other pushcart vendors on the Lower East Side, selling ready-made eyewear. In 1915, he opened a brick-and-mortar store to support his expanding business. The iconic shop facade, featuring posters, signs, and giant eyes and glasses, is suspected to have influenced the Doctor T. J. Eckleburg billboard in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. In 1935, the store was moved to 118 Orchard Street, where it would remain for over 80 years. Today, there are three Moscot locations in New York City, with locations worldwide. Moscot is the 13th oldest eyewear company in the world still operating.
4. The Ear Inn
326 Spring Street | Hudson Square, Manhattan
Located in the historic James Brown House, which was built in 1817 for African American revolutionary war hero and George Washington's aide James Brown, the Ear Inn is one of the oldest drinking establishments in New York City. In the mid-1800s, Thomas Cooke began selling home-brewed beer and corn whiskey to sailors out of the house, and in 1900 it became a restaurant and dining room. During Prohibition, it became a speakeasy, and after Prohibition ended, reopened its doors to the public. The bar was nameless for many years, until it was finally given a name in the 70s, when the new owners covered up the rounded edges of the letter B on the neon sign outside, so that the sign read "EAR" instead of "BAR". Despite all of its history (the upstairs portion of the townhouse was at different points a boarding house, smuggler's den, brothel, and doctor's office), the downstairs area has always remained an area for eating and drinking, and the Federal style townhouse is virtually untouched.
5. Grand Central Oyster Bar
Grand Central Terminal | Midtown East, Manhattan
When Grand Central Terminal opened its doors in 1913 on the site of what had been a rundown train depot, so did Grand Central Oyster Bar. For many years, it was a popular spot amongst commuters and long-haul train riders. Since its opening, the restaurant has undergone a number of renovations, but still maintains its hallmark look, including the intricately tiled vaulted ceilings, thanks to landmark status that was awarded in 1980. The classic look transports diners to another era, but the space, while grand, has been updated to be more approachable, making it a spot suitable for all generations.
6. Delmonico's
56 Beaver Street | Financial District, Manhattan
Established in 1837 by the Delmonico brothers, this steakhouse has been a New York classic for almost two hundred years. The restaurant has had many firsts, included the being the first fine dining establishment to be called a "restaurant" in America, the first fine dining restaurant in the city and the first one in America to have tablecloths. The restaurant is also the inventor of a brunch staple: eggs Benedict, as well as lobster Newberg and baked Alaska.
7. Yonah Schimmel Knishery
137 East Houston Street | Lower East Side, Manhattan
Yonah Schimmel Knishery has been serving knishes on the Lower East Side since 1890. What began as a pushcart operation expanded into a brick and mortar store, which was later moved to its current location in 1910, on the south side of Houston. Since its beginning, the knishery has been family owned. Although many of the Jewish residents and businesses in the area have since departed, Yonah Schimmel Knishery remains as a fixture of Jewish culture and cuisine.
8. Russ and Daughters
179 East Houston Street & 127 Orchard Street | Lower East Side, Manhattan
Russ and Daughters may be better known these days among the brunching set for being a trendy cafe on the Lower East Side, but has roots that go back over 100 years. In 1907, Joel Russ emigrated from Poland. He began selling herrings out of barrels, before moving onto a pushcart, followed by a horse and wagon. In 1914, he was able to move to a brick and mortar store on Orchard Street (the same street where Russ and Daughters Cafe is today). The store moved to 179 East Houston Street in 1920, where it has remained ever since. Fun facts about Russ and Daughters include that it was designated by the Smithsonian "a part of New York's cultural heritage" and that it was the first business in the United States to have "and Daughters" in its name.
9. Economy Candy
108 Rivington Street | Lower East Side, Manhattan
Sweet-toothed New Yorkers head down to the jam-packed Economy Candy where hundreds of candy options line packed shelves and towering walls. In it's current location since the 1980's, the business has been sugaring up locals since the 1930s. Originally a shoe and hat repair shop with a simple push cart selling candy outside, the business shifted gears during the Depression when candy sales became more lucrative than shoes. Today the store sells the common candy offerings, but also harder-to-find options including old school treats like BB Bats, Red Vines, and even candy cigarettes.

For this reason, not a few people use WordPress to create a website. Most web hosting in Indonesia was developed by WordPress so that not a few are exploring the best WordPress hosting so they can build their site.
If you are digging for the best WordPress hosting, of course, you must know the technique of choosing WordPress hosting which can be said to be best so as not to select the wrong WordPress web hosting. No need to worry and feel complicated because there will be many criteria for web hosting that will make it easier for you to choose good WordPress web hosting.
Here are 5 Criteria for Choosing the Best WordPress Hosting
For what purpose do you create a website? Is it to load blogs and personal stories, use business websites, or use online stores? All these destinations require different storage capacities. The website which is merely to make a daily story will be the opposite of an online store that must save consumer funds.
Therefore, you must listen to the storage capacity of a WordPress web hosting offered. Don't let your online store not be accessed because you can't store data from consumers.
You don't want to wait long enough to open a website. Or worse, the site is not accessible. Don't let the business happen for your website. Therefore, the technique for choosing the best WordPress hosting is to look at the server speed of the WordPress hosting that you prefer.
For example, let's take a deep look into Capsa Susun Online gaming platform. Many of this kind of sites choose Server Speed above anything else. They need a good server response, good bandwidth and good support from the hosting sites. YukPokerOnline, as one of the best Capsa Susun Online provider, also use this this preference as their main needs about how to choose WordPress hosting site.
You can see the server speed of the hosting provider from the many information provided by the website of the hosting provider. You can compare one hosting with another. For now, the fastest server is owned by the Kitchen Hosting.
One of the most critical matters in choosing WordPress hosting is data security. Give a special look to check the peace offered by a web hosting company. You don't want your customer data or individual data to be picked up by people. Moreover, customer data can trigger legal problems.
Never choose a WordPress hosting as fast as any server and how much data storage from the web hosting, if the security is not maintained.
The best WordPress hosting will certainly give a good service to its customers. You have to choose the best service like a live chat around 24 hours so that if something happens with the website, you can immediately ask for help from the hosting provider.
Many hosting companies have their advantages and disadvantages in this field. One of the best companies in matters of service is Niagahoster, which provides help via live chat, and there are 24 hours each day.
Not all web hosting provider companies are reliable, so you have to consider the reputation of a web hosting company that you choose. Choose a web hosting company that has a legitimate business and a specific place. It's also a good idea to witness recommendations from clients who have collaborated with them.
Choosing the best WordPress hosting will not be difficult if you follow the things above. Data security and reputation are things that indeed must be witnessed while the choice of server speed, storage capacity, and service depends on your needs.
The number of visits is indeed one of the most dominant affairs of site ranking and growth. Of course, the bigger the visitors, the better the prospects of the website. This later became a proposition for all bloggers to expect their sites to have the most number of visitors.
Not only gives a positive effect on website ranking, but the size of the visit also serves to increase the site's revenue. In essence, the greater the number of visitors to the web, it also provides not a few benefits for the website both in ranking and income.
But like what is known to get large-scale website traffic is not as easy as thought, because a website must have not a little quality and exciting content: the number can be thousands to tens of thousands of articles. Not to mention listening to the quality of SEO, Backlinks, and so on. This means that a site needs the most prolonged struggle to find the number of visits on a large scale.
Seeing website traffic is among the most important things for the development of blogs, finally not a few bloggers who want to increase their website visitors, but quickly and instantly so they can get income in the fast times as well.
Increasing visitors in short and instant times can indeed be done because there is much successful software created to increase unlimited website traffic. But unfortunately, this technique is included as among the fraudulent actions and has the potential to find sanctions from Google. Software to increase the amount of traffic is often referred to as jingling. Therefore, it is better to understand Jingling and its impact on the site.
Jingling was picked up from Chinese, which, in other words, was "jingling." The word jingling is often used to refer to the sound of falling metal money. But in the world of blogging, the word jingling is digested as one technique to cause visitors that are not small in certain periods, often relatively short. Jingling does not generate organic (human) real traffic but instead brings bot visits (robots) using the system.
The term jingling was first introduced in the world of blogs in 2008, as among web visitor's auto software from China. You can visit the official jingling software website at Spiritsoft, and Ipts for the English version. Although it is known as Jingling, it seems that this software is even known as "Software traffic spirit" in the world.
And the main benefit of jingling is to manipulate visitors, created by the technique of collecting IP addresses from many countries. The collected IP address is the end used by Jingling software to be a fake web visitor.
Google itself does not allow bloggers to use the technique to increase visits instantly, because Google classifies these actions as among the Black Hat SEO techniques, which can be said to be the most banned by not a few search engines belonging to Google. And often sites that are detected using fraudulent techniques will find sanctions from search engines in the form of being released from the search engine index to the extent that your website will not appear on search engines even though you have typed in specific keywords.
Even though you can use Jingling to add traffic instantly and of course it's free. But it has been known that the visits obtained by Jingling are not genuine people but instead are a bot (robot). It interprets even though it has large amounts of traffic, but when there is no ongoing interaction from visitors. Suppose there are no comments, there is no reaction to content, and so on, the search engines will suspect that the visitor is spamming.
Using cheating techniques, there must be negative consequences that will be caused. And this is the negative impact of wearing jingling.
It is not a new matter that in Indonesia there are not a few sites that have been hacked or cool languages have been "hacked" by unknown people. From the change in website appearance, DDOS attacks to theft of data contained on the website. Isn't it horrifying if you hear such site hacking news? Or, has your site ever been a victim? Hmmm, several propositions and matters are not often the point of concentration of hackers in working on hacking. Want to know five arguments why is the website easy to hack? Let's have the following review.
This is one of the arguments that is very often implemented by the user; the password used is not strong enough. Like a lock and lock, the username and password are access to the main door. Anyone can enter the website when the username and password are known. Likewise with all hackers who can scan passwords or commonly called "brute-force passwords." The hacker will work on scanning the password according to the existing word list. For that, make sure if no one easily predicts your password. Always use a combination of letters, numbers and special characters. There are some ways you can do to increase the strength of your password. Please read the Tips and Tricks for Secure Passwords. Oh yes, besides that, don't ever use the default username like "admin" or "admin123".
Plugins and themes or commonly called site templates do indeed become their charm. In some CMS like WordPress, plugins, and issues are indeed a priority. Plugins are benefits that are created by third parties to beautify the website. There are some plugins that you can install on WordPress sites, and please read the 6 Free Plugins You Must Have! So even with the theme, there are not many free or paid themes/templates circulating in cyberspace. Well, this plugin and argument can be the reason why your website was hacked! For that, make sure you use official plugins and themes, don't forget always to do updates and not infrequently install plugins!
Just like plugins and themes, even if the CMS is never updated, it becomes a target for hacker software. Make sure your CMS is either WordPress, Prestashop, Drupal, Joomla or OpenCart not infrequently in the latest version. Why should your website be upgraded? The CMS developer team often finds bugs or vulnerabilities that can endanger the site, so they release the newest version. Make sure always to do the upgrade when there is the latest version! DomaiNesia has tips for saving your WordPress!
As the primary foundation in the establishment of a website, the server is essential. Both Hosting and VPS have an urgent role in guarding the site against hacker attacks. If the main foundation has been steady and strong, then surely hackers will find it difficult to enter and master everything right? Therefore, make sure your website is stored in hosting that has high specifications and technology. Even hosting must be equipped with more security. Like DomaiNesia, which has CloudFlare and Patchman technology on each server. What is Patchman? How Is Patchman Cracking Out of Malware in Hosting?
Each person indeed needs awareness of security/security of the website. Both beginners and experienced ones must not often be aware and up to date about the latest malware. Hosting in DomaiNesia is equipped with Patchman technology which will notify some malware or vulnerabilities found on the website. So matters that are targeted by hacker software in attacking sites will be delivered through your email. Indeed there are not a few unfamiliar terms, but what's wrong with trying to dig up information about the loopholes or malware. What is malware? How can the malware enter the website oak? What is the gap in my site? Etc. For further information, you should not hesitate to contact the DomaiNesia Support Team! We will always help so that your website is safe.
Well, that's some argument why websites are easy to hack! Always make sure that your password is unpredictable; don't use themes and plugins carelessly, still, do upgrades and choose the best hosting! There is no harm, and you know the ins and outs of the website, malware, and gaps on the site. With powerful technology like CloudFlare, Patchman, Memcached and combined with SSL, your site will be free from hacker attacks!
There are various of the most vulnerable Popular WordPress propositions to be infiltrated.
In the previous article, we discussed 4 causes of exposure to hack sites and their subsequent writing with the title of 15 techniques for securing WordPress blogs from hackers.
Now on this occasion, you will discuss how to check the risky script or code on your WordPress site.
Not all of these hackers are white hat types, but there are also black hats, the second type is classified as evil and not infrequently they insert malicious code or scripts on sites that have been infiltrated can be used easily which can be sent back. Website security become an essential factor especially in high competitive niche such as poker or casino. For example is sports book website in Indonesia namely Agen Bola Deposit 50rb which very concern on the security because they providing official casino game and sports.
Running an infiltrated script or code is not only done by hackers who have successfully entered with the help of direct switching. But it can also cause the error of the owner of the website who installed themes and plugins. Free plugins that are obtained from sites that are not credible; the theme is that premiums are freely distributed on the internet. All can be made inserted into the malicious script that was developed to create our loss-making website.
WordPress Plugins For Analyzing Bad Codes
Now, to reduce the things that are not expected, you need to do before checking your site. Are there risky scripts or not in them.
Here is a contribution to the WordPress plugin that you can use to do this.
Theme Authenticity Checker (TAC) is the first plugin that needs to be attempted to check risk codes for the themes we use.
TAC is best because this plugin handles attachments to Base64 and hidden links in the footer, locations where it contains risky code inserted.
If this plugin successfully changes the malicious code, then he will send a report to you so that further action can be taken to save the website.
Sucuri Security uses a sophisticated plugin but only can scan your WordPress installation and submit you a detailed report. This plugin also offers a firewall to protect the site against external protection.
Computer users usually install anti-virus on their computers, not only desktop computers but tablets and cellphones too. But what about WordPress websites?
WordPress also has AntiVirus which contains plugins that you can use. This will check our site from risky code and at the same time set it up.
Arrangements can also be made for daily scanning. Download Antivirus for WordPress here.

This plugin must approve the only disadvantage of the plugin that offers only reporting and you. This plugin can help you fund you have security expertise on our side or if you understand it can also be overcome with your skills yourself. Informants can only say this plugin.
Security WordFence is a favorite security plugin for many WordPress users. The reason is this plugin is complete, and we don't need to look at other plugins. This plugin also sends us direct emails about risky activities or updates that occur.
This login is approved and completed. Send an email when the administrator enters the website.

This is based on cloud technology and also offers a blacklist position to the point that you can check what is blocked.

Blogs are one of the conveniences to support a business, but not a few people are aware of the industry, because most are still not a few who view blogs as just an online book to record diaries.
A blog is a type of website, and blogs are often updated content regularly, containing material in reverse chronological order and allowing readers to interact by submitting comments to a post.
Some examples of the success of a blog that has the most significant achievements at that time are Mashable, HuffingtonPost, and TechCrunch.
For the characteristics we have mentioned, blogs tend to be interesting concerning appearance and presentation of articles, not a few visitors, and that is why blogs are made a perfect place to promote online businesses and websites.
Build a blog to foster trust
Often a business is related to credibility. If we have a credible product and brand, then the customer will be easy to trust and do business with us, not even reluctant to buy your products.
But if you don't have a blog, maybe the customer will visit your competition, even though our product is superior in quality compared to the competitor. However, because of the lack of superior belief, it becomes unattractive on the day, and the end of the product is not attractive enough.
Therefore increasing your online business credibility must be a necessity, and in this article Journal will provide many ways you can do that with your blog.
Customers naturally want to buy something from a company that understands what they are doing, and by having a blog, you will be able to show that. You can write articles on many topics, technical and vice versa, demonstrate your knowledge and areas of expertise with the blog.
Clients who already know your skills will trust you more when they can communicate with you, and the blog allows that business. They all clients can mention comments, ask each other questions in the comments column, but it is also possible for them to interact through contact form copies, where they can send messages personally to you. Don't be reluctant and lazy to answer their comments, only with that technique can customers be loyal to you.
One of the best techniques for selling is by teaching. For example, we sell a lot of devices or computer tools. So creating a series of articles that teach how to build computers from the start will be the most brilliant technique to get your customers' hearts, build credibility and find more customers, all of them can run simultaneously.
If you create an article that is the most brilliant, useful or useful for others. So living in wait for some time, blogs or other sites will mention something on their blog, and they will automatically recommend our blog even though we never invite or ask them. That is one additional advantage of a quality article.
Not only get a promotion on their blog, but your article might also be shared on their social media pages, so all their friends will watch your post. Such is the strength of a good article. It will also lead to good results.

Donald Trump's cannabis policy has been an enigma with many mixed messages as patients, advocates and industry participants have tried to determine how his administration would treat various state medical and recreational marijuana laws across the nation. While candidate Trump seemed to support medical marijuana and a states' rights approach to full legalization, there have certainly been some discouraging signs recently.
It was very troubling to see Attorney General Jeff Sessions plea to Congress for funding that would allow the Trump Justice Department to prosecute and imprison patients and providers following their own states' laws. While Sessions was preoccupied answering questions about Russia's meddling with our democracy and the firing of FBI Director James Comey, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein seemed to indicate that the Trump Administration's policy is to enforce federal law.
NORML released a press release responding to Rosenstein's comments:
NORML Statement on Dept. AG Rod Rosenstein Addressing Marijuana Policy
WASHINGTON, D.C. – In response to the Department of Justice's Rod Rosenstein remarking on
marijuana policy during his testimony to Congress, Justin Strekal, Political Director for NORML stated:
"Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is implying that the DOJ under Jeff Sessions and the Trump Administration is pursuing a path to undermine legal state medical marijuana programs. With 30 states choosing to put patients first by allowing those suffering to make their healthcare decisions under the supervision of their doctors, it is absurd that this administration would make such veiled threats. Last time I checked, neither Rosenstein, Sessions, nor President Trump are doctors and their zeal to threaten those who are sick is disturbing."
During his testimony, Rosenstein stated, "We do have a conflict between federal law and the law in some states. It's a difficult issue for parents like me, who have to provide guidance to our kids… I've talked to Chuck Rosenberg, the administrator of the DEA and we follow the law and the science. And from a legal and scientific perspective, marijuana is an unlawful drug. It's properly scheduled under Schedule I. And therefore we have this conflict."
His conclusion: "We're responsible for enforcing the law. It's illegal, and that is the federal policy with regards to marijuana."
The Cole Memo, a Justice Department memorandum, authored by US Deputy Attorney General James Cole in 2013 to US attorneys in all 50 states directs prosecutors not to interfere with state legalization efforts and those licensed to engage in the plant's production and sale, provided that such persons do not engage in marijuana sales to minors or divert the product to states that have not legalized its use, among other guidelines.
During a Q and A with reporters in Richmond, VA in March, Jeff Sessions said "The Cole Memorandum set up some policies under President Obama's Department of Justice about how cases should be selected in those states and what would be appropriate for federal prosecution, much of which I think is valid,"
But while the Justice Department contemplates its next move, state politicians are taking action. Recently, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D), Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D), Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) and Alaska Gov. Bill Walker (I) issued a letter to the new U.S. Attorney General and to Secretary of Treasury Mnuchin calling on them to uphold the Obama Administration's largely 'hands off' policies toward marijuana legalization, as outlined in the Cole Memo.
"Overhauling the Cole Memo is sure to produce unintended and harmful consequences," the governors wrote. "Changes that hurt the regulated market would divert existing marijuana product into the black market and increase dangerous activity in both our states and our neighboring states."
"Given that AG Sessions has recently reiterated that the Cole Memo is valid, Rod Rosenstein would be wise to maintain the current interpretation and not interfere with the right of states to set and enforce their own marijuana policies," concluded Justin Strekal, Political Director of NORML.
Attorney General Sessions has chosen a task force to review federal marijuana policy and it has been reported that federal officials sought reassurances from Oregon officials recently regarding its compliance of the Obama-era Cole Memo that allowed state marijuana laws to proceed free from federal interference. While we wait for any possible new policy out of the Sessions Justice Department, it is paramount that advocates remain vigilant and keep making their voices heard.

All we can say is… meh… it's damn good.
The Chinese-exclusive Xiaomi Mi MIX is not coming to the United States in the foreseeable future. But if you're at CES 2017, you did get to play around with something that few have in the Middle Kingdom: a white trim of the Mi MIX.
You can almost feel that 91.4-percent screen-to-face ratio coming right towards the corneas, right? And it definitely helps that 6.4-inch screen fit (somehow) into a fairly slim frame.

Neil Etheridge: Gearing up for Premier League history
MANILA, Philippines – History beckons for Cardiff City's Neil Etheridge as he becomes the first Southeast Asian to step into one of the biggest stages of world football – the English Premier League (EPL).
Although admittedly excited, the Azkals goalkeeper says he wants to keep his "head down" as he gets ready to compete against global football icons like Mo Salah, Sergio Aguero, and even World Cup champions Paul Pogba and Oliver Giroud starting Saturday, August 11. (READ: An underdog all his life, Neil Etheridge proves worth among elite)
"I create history, which is nice. But it's just to continue the job that I did last season," Etheridge told Rappler via a phone interview.
"To be honest, I'm just trying to keep my head down, and work as hard as I can, and play as many games in the season to help the team out."
Great to be back at the Cardiff City Stadium yesterday! Last preseason game and next week it all begins! #cardiffcityfc #cardiff #goalkeeper #premierleague pic.twitter.com/KUTqMbQg5g— Neil Etheridge (@Neil38Etheridge) August 5, 2018
But of course, the challenge remains for his newly promoted team to stay in the EPL as they are dubbed as the "favorites" to be relegated back to the Championship League.
"It's just about staying in the league first. The first season going up into the Premier League is always tough for the boys coming up so that's the main objective this season," explained Etheridge.
Throughout the summer, Cardiff manager Neil Warnock shelled out plenty to retool the lineup with crucial signees. Midfielder Josh Murphy, striker Bobby Reid and defender Greg Cunningham will be among the players to watch as well.
With the new signing of Queens Park Rangers keeper Alex Smithies, it remains uncertain whether Etheridge gets to start as they will be contesting for the number 1 spot throughout the season. (READ: Neil Etheridge signs contract extension with Cardiff City until 2021)
But on the one side, there's a positive takeaway – especially for Filipinos: Cardiff's stacked goalkeeper selection may pave the way for Etheridge to represent the Philippines in the 2019 AFC Asian Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
But the Filipino-British who led the Bluebirds to a Championship 2nd place with 19 clean sheets has been working day in and day out to achieve his dream of actually playing in the EPL.
"My personal goal is to play as many games as I can because this is the biggest stage in world football, to play as many games in the highest level is always a great achievement."
As the Bluebirds kick off their Premier League campaign against the AFC Bournemouth, Etheridge puts emphasis on the team's "togetherness" which will continue to play a big factor in their bid to upset some of the best teams in the world.
"Our team togetherness is massive and our team togetherness has gotten us through a lot last season," said Etheridge.
"We got promoted last season because we were the best over the duration of the season so we just need to build on those performances and we know that the Premier League is another step up, but we're all looking forward to the challenge."
Although the team continues to scramble for strikers and midfielders before the transfer window closes on Thursday, August 9, Etheridge and the rest of the Bluebirds will be ready to prove that they deserve to stay in the Premier League for a long time.

Standing stone: a large block of stone set upright; a menhir, monolith.
Menhir is actually the French word for "standing stone". It comes from Breton men (stone) and hir (long). This is an example of a standing stone circle, taken yesterday in Avebury.
The most famous example of standing stones in the UK is Stonehenge, a stone's throw away (ahem), in the Salisbury plain.
French and English have a different word for stones which form a table (although it is more commonly used in French), namely "dolmen". This comes from the Breton taol, tol (table) and men (stone). It is not very surprising that these Breton words were borrowed in French and English; Britanny is the region of France where one may find well-preserved stone circles, in Carnac for example.

This is indeed fascinating.
By the way: a (VERY) large boulder, found at the bottom of the sea, was placed in a standing position at the top of a hill on Lancresse common in Guernsey a few years ago to mark the millennium.
It may be the only example of a modern-day menhir? Although – as far as I know, it isn't used for any ritual purposes. But I'm sure Obélix would have liked it.
Many islanders don't like it, but I think it looks great, especially now it's acquired a sort of "patina" from being left out to weather the elements.
See it here
A prehistoric one already existed – it's called the Longue pierre. In other words, the exact translation of the meaning of "menhir" given by Céline.
Here it is:
Very interesting 🙂 Taol/Tol sounds indeed like Table in French somehow doesn't it?

The death of Osborne: a new era of pensions stability?
George Osborne made many mistakes while in charge at the Treasury. The former Chancellor, supposedly responsible for strategy in the Conservative Party electoral machine, was infamously forced into embarrassing U-turns on tax measures aimed at older people ('the granny tax'), Greggs customers ('the pasty tax') and caravaners ('the caravan tax').
But his fatal error was making an enemy of Theresa May, the woman anointed Prime Minister following David Cameron's hasty post-referendum departure.
One of her first acts as Leader of the State was to unceremoniously sack the man who had been at the centre of Government for six years. And now the Treasury, under the leadership of Philip Hammond, has dumped Osborne's plans – two years in the making – to create a secondary annuities market.
This announcement wasn't slipped out quietly in an Autumn Statement or carefully leaked to a political hack, however – it was press released. In almost seven years covering the pensions market, I have never seen a Government U-turn press released. This was the PR equivalent of a boot to the groin of the previous administration.
It was, of course, the right decision. AJ Bell argued from the start this proposal looked woefully deficient for a number of reasons – a lack of buyers due to the inherently short-term nature of the market, too many agents potentially reducing the value of savers' pots and inadequate protections against pension scammers, to name but a few.
While the Treasury has belatedly found itself in the right place on this highly risky plan, leading savers and the industry up the garden path for 24 months (and in the process wasting valuable regulatory time and money) is no way to go about creating sensible, stable pensions policy.
But does this U-turn tell us anything about the future of pensions tax relief, that big policy beast, under Chancellor Hammond?
The Treasury has yet to formally respond to its consultation on 'Strengthening the incentive to save' – which included Osborne's controversial 'Pension ISA' plan – although its stance in a Daily Mail story published on 18 October pointed to some welcome stability.
A spokeswoman is quoted as saying: "We consulted last year on pensions tax relief – and it very clearly showed that there was no call for reform.
"The Government concluded that this lack of consensus, along with the roll out of automatic enrolment, meant that now was not the right time to make fundamental reforms to the system."
While I agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment, the Treasury could go further still by backing AJ Bell's call to set up an independent Pensions Tax Commission to review pensions savings incentives in the UK and recommend what, if any, changes should be made.
Under this plan – which would leave the final say in the hands of the Government – a new cross-party deal on pensions tax relief, similar to that achieved on auto-enrolment, could be forged.
Once any reforms are agreed upon, they should be accompanied by a pledge to not alter pensions tax relief for at least 10 years, with a review perhaps scheduled after 5 years.
This would put a stop to endless speculation over the future of pensions tax relief and begin to instil some certainty into a system that has been subject to endless fiddling by successive administrations.
By scrapping the secondary annuities reforms, Chancellor Hammond showed he is willing to go against the grain of the previous leadership. He must now go further and remove pensions tax relief from the political front line.

Himalaya FOR MOMS Body Butter Review
Dry skin has always been an issue for me, and given that the Mumbai weather has recently turned a little cold again, it further exaggerates the discomfort. I feel it the most right after a bath, as soap and body wash tend to dry out the skin.
Himalaya FOR MOMS: Body Butter
Recently, Himalaya FOR MOMS sent me a lovely hamper of their Soothing Body Butters.
If you read my blog regularly or follow me on Instagram, then you would know that I'm a big fan of Himalaya and I include their products in my daily skin care regime. Himalaya FOR MOMS Soothing Body Butter is specially formulated for mothers.
Like I said, I am prone to dry skin. So, I've been using the Himalaya FOR MOMS Soothing Body Butter every morning and night after my bath for weeks now. In addition to removing dirt and germs, soap robs our skin of its natural oil, and I felt that Himalaya FOR MOMS Soothing Body Butter helped moisturise my skin.
Himalaya FOR MOMS: Ingredients
The Soothing Body Butter contains Cocoa Butter, which is a natural antioxidant and hydrates the skin. It also contains glycerin that directly contributes to relieving dryness by locking in the moisture in your skin. For pregnant women, this would be useful as their skin goes through a lot of changes due to the skin expanding and stretching. These key ingredients help moisturise your skin, making it soft and supple!
Himalaya FOR MOMS: Variants
Himalaya FOR MOMS Soothing Body Butter comes in three variants: Lavender, Rose, and Jasmine. My personal favourite is Lavender. I absolutely love the fragrance! The jars come in three different sizes too— 50ml, 100ml and 200ml, priced at Rs.120, Rs.200 and Rs.320 respectively. I personally feel the price is very reasonable, given the quantity and quality of the body butters.
The products were sent to me by the brand and I didn't pay for them. However, the views and comments shared are my own. I will never recommend anything to my readers that I won't use for myself or my family.

Happy Fathers Day
appy Father's Day. Card I have made for my Dad using Stampin' Up! Best Dad Ever Stamp Set . I have used the Comfort Cafe' Designer Patterned Paper. To get the worn look I used Early Expresso Co'orindation Cardstock which is in the Holiday Catalogue and ran it through my bigshot using Houndstooth embossing folder. I have then sanded the cardstock back using Stampin' Up Sanding block. When you sand it back it shows up the inside colour of the cardstock producing this great worn vintage look. I absolutely love this.

Will you sit with me in the ashes?
Can you wait it out; be silent,
As I wonder what comes next?
Will you hold my hand and squeeze it,
Fearless of the tears that come?
Will you hold me up and ceaseless pray
Until this day is done?
Will you dress my wounds with Scripture,
Doing all you do in love;
Taking my hand gently to help me stand back up?
Will you sit with me in the ashes?
And proclaim God's character to me;
Remind me of His endless grace
And boundless love for me?
Will you stand firm beside me, and not grow weary or lose heart;
Encourage and point me to the One, who knows my walk is hard?
Will you sit with me in the ashes?
Until this day is through,
And my God has brought me through this,
Using all that you did do?
Svea Goertzen
Amidst trial, I sought solace in the book of Job. I ultimately landed on these verses in Job 2. . .
11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, they came each from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. They made an appointment together to come to show him sympathy and comfort him. 12 And when they saw him from a distance, they did not recognize him. And they raised their voices and wept, and they tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads toward heaven. 13 And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great.
. . . and I ultimately landed at the same campground that Job found himself when his friends showed up to comfort him. I was struck by the fact that Job's friends were just that—friends. They cared about him; came to comfort him; wept for him; and, finally sat down with him on the ground silently, "for they saw that his suffering was very great." Then, each, in turn, opened his mouth and put his foot right in. It occurred to me that, like the Israelites, they can become easy targets—it's easy to point a finger and judge these men who ultimately failed their friend with their words, but, just as quickly, I find myself doing the same thing. I guess what drives this home is just the sort of trial where a longsuffering friend sits down beside me in the ashes.
So, I set about to prepare a litmus test (for me too), of what a suffering brother or sister in Christ needs from me—according to what I saw in the verses above. The words I wrote above are a pleading for that kind of friend; an exhortation to be that kind of friend; and, finally, a grateful heart—for there are brothers and sisters in Christ who are uniquely qualified to be that kind of friend—and they are a dear provision from God.

Written on 12 May 2018. Text in green font is not in the soundtrack.
Hello, Dear Ones, It's Alice. I Am of the Stars.
I wanted to talk a little about corporate power.
I have an insight about corporate power, that has to do with something that happened today. But it has happened many, many times over the years, that I have gone to a person who is a representative of a corporation, with a complaint. And then the person says … This happens a lot … I will bet it has happened to you too … The person says: That decision is made at a corporate level. I cannot do anything about it … Does that sound right?
My feeling, when people say that, about a complaint that I have, or a request that things be done differently, or a feeling that something is not right about the customer service that I'm getting …
- When I get: There's nothing that I can do about it; my boss decides all that …
- Or even worse: It's decided corporately, on a national level, and I have no chance to do anything about it. I don't even know why you're talking to me.
Right? That's how we get the notion that corporations have all this power. You know? Because they're very large.
So what I think, in terms of co-creation of New Reality on New Earth, is that we, as members of work teams … no matter how large the teams are … could look at what it is that we can do. What power do we have in this situation, to co-create the new reality?
- For instance, could we keep a list of upsets and complaints that people have, and let our boss know?
- And could our boss then help co-create the New Reality by talking about customer feedback?
In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars

The recent tour of Malaysia, Indonesia and China by Saudi Arabia's King Salman bin Abdel-Aziz was a high-profile, grand expression of interest in downstream investments to reinforce Riyadh's market share in a region that absorbs around 65pc of the kingdom's crude exports.

Securing market share through refining and petrochemicals joint venture with main crude buyers is becoming a central plank of state-owned Saudi Aramco's strategy, because rising non-Opec supply means the ability of Saudi Arabia and other Opec producers to influence prices by cutting or increasing output is becoming limited.

The creation of joint ventures, in Asia-Pacific and in Saudi Arabia, allows an economic interdependence that helps to safeguard long-term partnerships.

Such deals, like a recent agreement with Malaysia's state-owned Petronas for a 50:50 partnership in the Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (Rapid) project in the country's southern Johor state, are also likely to boost Aramco's value as it prepares for an IPO. Aramco will pay $7bn for the Rapid stake, and in return will get access to a strong growth market. It will supply as much as 70pc of the joint venture's crude feedstock requirements.

In Indonesia, Aramco committed to investing in a $6bn expansion and upgrade of the 348,000 b/d Cilacap refinery it jointly owns with with state-owned Pertamina.

But China is Aramco's main target, particularly because Beijing's keen interest in overseas investment matches the sort of inward investment Saudi Arabia wants as it industrialises its economy under its 2030 Vision roadmap.

"With the right opportunities, we would like to further strengthen our oil supply relationship and multiply our investments in China, particularly in the downstream," Aramco chief executive Amin Nasser said in Beijing last week.

Aramco owns a 25pc stake in Sinopec's 280,000 b/d Fujian refinery and marketing joint venture, but has not concluded any further refining deals in China, mainly because it is unable to secure distribution rights, hence Nasser's reference to "the right opportunities."

Nasser signed two preliminary agreements for Aramco in China — one with China North Industries (Norinco) enabling further co-operation and downstream investment opportunities including the development of a refinery and chemical facilities, and one with Aerosun involving the manufacturing of reinforced thermoplastic (RTP) pipe and further research and development (R&D).

Holding out the prospect for strategic Chinese investments in Saudi Arabia, Nasser said: "Chinese companies can benefit from the kingdom's strategic location… by establishing manufacturing, logistical and R&D bases, especially on the west coast of Saudi Arabia."

"From there, they can easily access large markets in the wider Middle East-north Africa region, all the way up to Europe and they can also easily access the kingdom's vast energy resources and supply of petrochemicals," he said.

It is likely, however, that Riyadh would link Chinese investments in Saudi Arabia to the facilitation of more Saudi downstream investments in China.

China's state-owned Sinopec owns a 37.5pc stake in the Yasref joint venture 400,000 b/d Yanbu refinery on Saudi Arabia's western coast. Nasser suggested in February that Aramco should seek Chinese investment in the industrial city that is being planned around the $7bn, 400,000 b/d Jizan refinery.

One potential field of co-operation is an initiative under exploration in Saudi Arabia to turn crude directly into petrochemicals. Nasser said in October that the company and state-controlled chemicals group Sabic were studying potential technology that would eliminate the crude refining process.

Sabic and Sinopec signed a strategic agreement last week to study opportunities for joint petrochemical projects in Saudi Arabia and China. Sabic's chief executive Yousef al-Benyan said one project under study is the establishment of a coal-to-chemicals complex in China with China's Shenhua Ningxia Coal Industry Group.

Nasser also suggested last week that China and Saudi Arabia could co-operate to reduce carbon emissions and enhance hydrogen extraction from hydrocarbons.

"We must deal with carbon emissions in line with the Paris agreement on climate change. This is where hydrogen and carbon capture utilization and storage could be game-changers for Saudi Arabia and China," said Nasser. "If carbon capture, utilization, and storage and hydrocarbons can be made to work together, then green hydrogen is within our reach," he said. This would allow Saudi Arabia to turn its oil and gas into clean energy, while China could use its massive coal resources to generate clean power, he said.
