As technology is rapidly changing how we live our day to day lives; technology is also playing a significant role in transforming industrial techniques across multiple industries.
Just as with other industries, surveying and mapping has rapidly evolved through new technological advancements that have revolutionized the field over the past few decades. Some of these advancements include robotic total stations, electronic distance measuring, lasers and ultrasonic tools along with drones and the advancement in GPS technology.
With the implementation of global positioning systems (GPS); the accuracy and speed in which surveys are performed has been transformed within the industry. As time and technology advanced over the past decades, GPS itself has significantly evolved from a handful of NAVSTAR satellites to a global constellation now referred to as Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) used to pinpoint positions anywhere in the world. These technological advancements have not only lead to faster and more accurate surveying but have improved cost efficiency and safety in the field.
With the assistance of other technological advancements in the field, GPS has revolutionized and will continue to revolutionize the industry for years to come. However, unlike other industries where technology is replacing workers, the need for experienced surveyors is still in high demand due to the complexity and expertise needed to properly implement these tools and deliver results that will stand the test of time. This has lead to great growth and demand in the industry over the past few decades.
While there are many benefits that technology has delivered in the field of surveying; the main benefits can simply be broken down into four key components that are essential in providing quality surveying and mapping services in 2019; speed, accuracy, cost efficiency and safety.
There are many questions like these that you may be asking yourself and these are good. However, finding a qualified commercial property surveyor goes well beyond the "basic" questions. To help you make an informed decision; we have developed a list of questions and qualifications you should consider during your search for a professional commercial property surveyor.
This is common with most incorporated survey firms; however, having the right coverage is much different from project to project.
This is one of the most important questions you can ask due to the wide range of commercial survey types and the equipment needed to properly and accurately complete them. Experience drives accuracy, speed and overall quality of the final report.
This is an extension of the experience needed; You want to ensure that your survey firm is operating with the latest technology and equipment available to provide an accurate and precise survey for you.
In today's fast paced world, time is money and having to wait for a survey to be completed can cost you in the long run. Therefore, it is important you have a proper understanding on the length of time the survey you are requesting should take. An experienced survey firm should be able to give you an accurate time table which you can utilized to complete your overall planning.
If you are looking for a qualified commercial property surveyor, Stoner & Associates, Inc. is here to help. We will answer all these questions and more. Call us today to discuss your project at 954-585-0997.
Commercial Land Surveying can be a complicated business, and for that reason there are quite a few misconceptions about what it is and why it is needed. To help out, we have debunked five of the most common surveying myths:
It is true that all cities, towns or municipalities have mapped out all properties for tax purposes. However, this does not guarantee that the commercial property has been previously surveyed. Furthermore, even if it has, there is no guarantee the survey is accurate. With the advancements of technology in land surveying, only an up-to-date survey will guarantee accuracy of the proper boundary marks of your property.
Although survey stakes may be present on what you think is the proper property line; it could be quite possible that the past survey stakes may not be intended for marking your property line. Therefore, it is recommended to have a licensed Professional Surveyor determine where the property line begins and ends.
This is not always the case. Often, previous property owners will utilize tree lines and other physical structures to connect the fence line to cut down on cost during installation. Therefore, the only way to truly know the correct property line is to have a professional survey performed on the property.
Property is often one of the largest investments anyone can make in one's lifetime. Therefore, preserving that investment often plays an important role in a commercial real estate transaction such as insurance, maintenance, etc. However, most people don't often think of surveys as an investment in your property; when the truth of the matter is, not having a proper survey on your property can cost you thousands of dollars.
Property encroaching is a common issue within the survey industry. This issue can incur on both your end and or the adjacent property without a property boundary survey. Which is why investing is a professional commercial property survey is essential for preserving your property and its value.
There are many more myths and misconceptions about commercial land surveys and property boundaries it would be nearly impossible to list them all. However, if you have questions or would like to discuss other concerns, our team is here to assist you with all your commercial property survey needs.

When most people think of an expert witness they think of an accountant, a medical professional, forensics or a mental health expert. However, expert witnesses are used in a wide scope of legal issues which also includes issues related to land boundaries, surveys and more.
In certain litigation cases, a surveying expert witness can be an invaluable resource to either side. They can provide expert knowledge and expertise by first identifying, introducing and authenticating documents and other information within the case that is relevant to boundary disputes, elevations and more. These experts can speak to the relevance of certain information and how it should be applied to correctly position boundaries, elevations and other elements in order to draw a conclusion or final opinion on the matter.
Our judicial system relies heavily on the use of expert witnesses to inform judges and juries on the facts regarding specific components of a case. Therefore, in order to present a solid argument for either side, an expert witness is brought in to dispute erroneous or disputed components within their profession.
A land surveyor can utilize a wide range of tools and knowledge to address boundary and elevation issues that other construction, real estate or commercial property experts have limited knowledge of. A land surveyor can present detailed information that lends credibility to the overall presentation in the case.
Land surveyors are used in cases throughout the United States to address a wide array of issues; most of which you may have not even considered relevant to their level of expertise. They often lend their expertise and support for accident scene documentation, construction disputes, project errors and omissions, and all types of encroachment issues related to boundaries or easements to name a few.

Florida is well documented as a geographical region that can experience significant weather and flooding issues. Therefore, it is always strongly recommended that commercial property owners brush up on their understanding of flood zones and the impact they can have on flood insurance and overall flood risk.
Flood zones and elevation requirements are implemented and regulated through various government programs in order to ensure that property owners are protected from the threat of material and financial loss due to flood conditions. Since flood zones can change, it is important to fully understand FEMA guidelines and current flood maps.
Flood hazard areas in Florida can be identified on the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map as a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). SFHA are defined as the area that will be inundated by the flood event having a 0.2 percent to 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. The 1-percent annual chance flood is also referred to as the base flood or 100-year flood; while the 0.2-percent annual chance flood is referred to as the 500-year flood. Outside of these zones are the higher elevation zones which fall outside of the 0.2-percent annual flood probability know as Zone C or Zone X.
Zone A
Zone AR/A1-A30
Flood surveys and elevation surveys are two popular services provided by Stoner & Associates. These surveys are required to ensure that all new buildings adhere to proper flood, elevation, and building requirements. This service is also provided to individuals that have been required to purchase flood insurance at the request of a lender. Elevation certificates for construction properties are available and help determine if a property is located within a designated flood zone.
In order to determine whether a property is located within a flood zone, the property must have flood certification. While some are hesitant to spend the money to acquire such a certification, the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reports that flood insurance savings earned by following its flood guidelines average $90,000 over the span of 10 years. To search if your property may be in a FEMA designated flood zone visit the FEMA Flood Zone Map link for more information.

Land surveying has played a vital role in the formation of all nations and the United States is no exception. In fact, did you know that one of the largest original land holders in the state of Georgia, Nobel Jones, was the state's original and sole surveyors during the formation of Georgia? To this day Nobel Jones' family is still the only "original" Georgia families that reside on the over 800-acre property (Wormsloe Plantation) they were allotted during the original settlement of the state.
Nobel was not the only famous land surveyor in US history, however. Many prominent figures in the formation of our great nation also spent a portion of their career within the surveying industry. Here are a few of the most notable figures that may surprise you:
George Washington - One of America's most famous (and earliest) land surveyors is George Washington himself. The young future president got his bright start at the age of 17 in 1749. It was not long until he was appointed to be the Surveyor General for Virginia. Washington actually played an essential role at this time, because surveying the land promoted expansion westward.
Thomas Jefferson - Thomas Jefferson was appointed to work as the Albermarle County surveyor in Virginia in 1773. He also promoted surveying by sending Lewis & Clark on their expedition to explore the land gained through the Louisiana Purchase.
Abraham Lincoln - George Washington and Thomas Jefferson weren't the only president to work as a surveyor. The nation's 16th president got his start as a self-educated man in Kentucky. He worked as a storekeeper and postmaster in addition to surveying land and studying law at the same time. It is clear that Lincoln was a man with a great deal of talent and many skills, seeing how much time he spent participating in different types of work before he became president.
Daniel Boone - As an American pioneer and explorer from Kentucky, Daniel Boone resolved settler's claims to land. He was known to have spent much of his time traveling around the American frontier. In spite of the fact that he had no formal schooling, Boone went on to become an expert tracker by the time he was a teenager. In the years following, he took to surveying.
Henry David Thoreau - Though most might know of Thoreau as an author, he actually became a surveyor in the 1850s before he published his books. Being a surveyor allowed Thoreau to use his career to facilitate his hobby. Thoreau used his observations to journal his ideas.
Benjamin Banneker - As a self-taught African American mathematician and surveyor, Benjamin Banneker was remarkably successful. In 1789, Washington even appointed Banneker to be part of the team surveying the future site of Washington, D.C. The project took about two years.
William Clark & Meriwether Lewis - Lewis and Clark were tasked with some of the most intensive land surveying in American history. While Lewis had a reputation as more of a planner, Clark was an expert surveyor and mapmaker. Together, the partners traveled across the land then known as the Louisiana Purchase, making their way to Oregon to scout it out.
An ALTA Survey is a survey prepared by a licensed surveyor in accordance with detailed standards adopted by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the American Congress of Surveying and Mapping (ACSM). The ALTA Survey is a land title survey that assesses the boundaries, the location of the improvements on the property, including buildings and other structures, fences, utility lines and installations, trails, paths and roads, etc., as well as the titles and improvement locations of a property and the location of all access areas.
When acquiring commercial real estate, it is important to conduct due diligence to ensure there are no surprises that will affect the value or use of the property. One aspect of the due diligence process is considering obtaining an ALTA Land Survey. The following are two main reasons for obtaining an ALTA Survey:
When purchasing commercial real estate, title companies may require an ALTA Land Survey prior to issuing title insurance covering the Survey Risks such as (1) encroachments, boundary line disputes, or other matters that would be disclosed by an accurate survey of the commercial property; and (2) easements or claims of easements not shown in public records.
An ALTA Land Survey will identify:
It is recommended to request an ALTA Land Survey at least 30-days before the need for title insurance, as this survey will provide information necessary to the issuance of title insurance. In addition, the ALTA Land Survey must be completed prior to the closing of escrow. It is best to speak with a professional land surveyor as early on in the process as possible, in order to maximize time.
At Stoner & Associates, we are experts in the ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys specifications, including the optional Table "A" Requirements. We can advise you on these confusing requirements and help you design a survey that will meet the lender's requirements, without adding unnecessary and expensive requirements.
Most importantly, we have worked with legal professionals and know that you need accuracy and reliability. We know that you need your survey to be completed on time for the closing date. We work hard to be part of your team and to answer any and all questions pertaining to the survey drawing, certifications, and title commitments.

An easement is an interest in property that allows another person the legal right to use or own parts of the property owner's land for a specific purpose. Essentially, it gives the someone the right to trespass on your land as long as it follows the easements restrictions. Understanding how easements may affect your commercial property and the value of the property can prevent major issues down the road for the landowner.
Typically, an easement is created for specific purposes and can be given to anyone, including neighbors, government agencies or private parties. Because easements concern real property, they are governed by real property law. When acquiring commercial real estate, it is important to conduct due diligence to ensure there are no surprises that will affect the value or use of the commercial property. An aspect of this due diligence process is obtaining a Boundary Survey. During the process of preparing a Boundary Survey, the surveyor works in unison with the purchaser's attorney and title company to ensure that exceptions (easements, access, zoning, etc.) listed in the title policy are accurately plotted on the survey drawing. The following are various types of property easements to consider:
At Stoner & Associates, we are experts in the area of boundary surveys, surveys specifications and various easements. Most importantly, we know that you need your survey to be completed on time for the closing date. We work hard to be part of your team and to answer any and all questions pertaining to various easements, the survey, certifications, and title commitments.

Did you know that Land Surveying is one of the oldest professions in the world? Let's look at the history of land surveying and how it has influenced modern land surveying.
Ownership of land has always been and is still today a very significant part of the lives of everyone in the world. Whether it was used to establish which ancient tribe owned which land segment or the boundaries of major cities as they formed across the globe, the history of land surveying is incredibly interesting.
By definition, Land Surveying is the process by which land is surveyed and measured using mathematical means.
The first examples of land surveying date back to the ancient Egyptians in Giza during the constructing of the Great Pyramid in 2700 BC. There is evidence that the Egyptians used basic geometry to draw boundary lines when the Nile overflowed its banks.
The Romans were the next civilization to advance on the initial land surveying techniques of the Egyptians. Historical evidence shows that the Roman Empire was the first civilization to employ an official land surveyor within their Empire. They used simple tools to create straight lines and angles. The land surveyors had a range of jobs in the Empire and some of their work is still evident today.
One of the best-known players in land surveying history was Napoleon Bonaparte – who was trying to conquer the world. He always ensured that he had very precise maps produced that were drawn down to scale both at 1:2500 and 1:1250. The cadastres he had, a comprehensive land recording of the real property's metes-and-bounds, were widely used.
As time has progressed, land surveying tools and techniques have advanced and the role of land surveyors is much broader than it was in the past. These days land surveyors have access to much more accurate tools such as GPS (global positioning systems). Of which, any large project will need GPS-based surveying in order to be in compliance with state, federal and sometimes local laws.
Total Stations are also very commonly used in today's land surveying. A total station is an electronic/optical instrument that uses electronic transit theodolite in conjunction with electronic distance meter (EDM). It is also integrated with a microprocessor, electronic data collector and a storage system allowing for a more precise land surveying process. Total stations are mainly used by land surveyors and civil engineers, either to record features as in topographic surveying or to set features such as roads and boundaries.
A newer technology on the scene that is in its infancy are the use of drones. Drone surveys, aerial surveys, UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) surveys, and UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) surveys are an increasingly popular method of surveying form the air. Mapping with drones is done using Photogrammetry which is the science of making measurements from Photographs. Multiple overlapping photos of the ground below are captured as the aircraft flies autonomously along a flight path that we specify beforehand.
At Stoner & Associates, we have a long-standing company history within the surveying industry and are very knowledgeable with the latest equipment and techniques available to provide accurate surveys. Most importantly, we work hard to be part of your team and to answer any and all questions pertaining to various easements, the survey, certifications, and title commitments.

As commercial land surveyors, we carry around a great deal of equipment to get the job done right. When out in the field, quite often we are mistaken for photographers because of the tripods, but the rest of our gear quickly dismisses that thought. We deal with precise measurements, so it's crucial to have the right tools on hand.
Theodolite – A theodolite is a surveying instrument with a telescope for measuring horizontal and vertical angles. Some land surveying crews use transits and total stations as well, which are used for the same purpose.
Surveying Tripod – Be sure not to use your theodolite without your tripod, because it needs a place to sit as well. The survey tripod is a sturdy tripod that is designed to move as little as possible for accurate measurements.
GPS Units - Global Positioning System (GPS) is a navigation system that is used to determine an exact location, velocity as well as time 24 hours a day, in all types of weather conditions throughout the world. This device is typically used for the following:
UAVs - Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is an aircraft without a human pilot on board that includes a ground-based controller and a system of communications between the two. This allows for high accuracy aerial mapping for any location and can produce ortho-photos, overlays, 3D models, basic measurements along with as-built design comparisons.
Hand Tools – Besides the main equipment, a surveyor will need a host of other equipment to do the job well. Rope and measuring tape are great for rough measurements and marking, while items like picks and saws help clear debris to properly survey.
Clipboard – All the data needs to go somewhere, right? A clipboard and pencil are necessary to take measurements or notes down onto paper, or a good PDA would suffice as well.
At Stoner & Associates, we are experts in the area of boundary surveys, surveys specifications and various easements. Most importantly, we know that you need your survey to be completed on time for the closing date. We work hard to be part of your team and to answer any and all questions pertaining to various easements, the survey, certifications, and title commitments.

With the beginning of a new year we are pleased to work on many new construction projects. The following are just a few in our pipeline:
McJunkin Farms - Loxahatchee Road , Parkland , FL
Lakewood Road Apartments – Lake Worth, FL
Dania Beach Energy Center – Fort Lauderdale, FL
NW 68th Ave Canal Headwall – Sunrise, FL
With any new construction project comes a set of required services involved in order to develop the new site properly. The first important item is having a Boundary Survey performed. Whether the site is already vacant or there is scheduled demolition in the works, this type of survey can provide the full picture. Aside from existing improvements, the Boundary Survey will likely require additional information such as a more comprehensive utility inspection, including underground, as well as topographic data and or possibly locating elements of improvements.
At Stoner & Associates, we provide the most common surveys that are necessary for any new construction projects, including:
For new construction projects in South Florida, during the initial permitting stage, the building department verifies that the planned construction complies with the local zoning codes, proper building setback and greenspace requirements as well as the drainage capabilities. With the aid of these surveys and site plans in hand, the process can run smoothly.
As the new construction begins, the contractor will require Construction Layout Surveys or "stakeouts" of proposed improvements although some contractors choose to perform minor layout services themselves if allowed by law.
Additionally, the building department may require periodic As-Built Surveys to ensure that construction is following the planned horizontal and vertical positions. Site grading may require a Topographic Survey to find current ground elevations or stakeout proposed vertical positions. Towards the completion stage of the project, a final Boundary Survey and FEMA Elevation certificate is generally required in order to receive a Certificate of Occupancy.
At Stoner & Associates, we confirm all details regarding the scope of services for any new construction project and look forward to learning about your next new construction project for 2020.
Surveyors play an important part in all real estate transactions; from determining property boundaries to mapping elevations for land development, a licensed surveyor is the only legal entity authorized to perform vital components in most real estate endeavors.
When you ask most people about land surveyors and what they do the common response that comes to mind is mapping boundaries for roads, properties and more. The fact is land surveyors work on a variety of projects from planning and constructing new or improving existing infrastructure, land development, various construction projects such including buildings, highways, bridges, sports fields, agriculture, etc. to monitoring and environmental assessment.
The truth is, without land surveying, real estate transactions would not have clear boundaries, roads would not have proper elevation and drainage, underground utilities would not be possible and much more. Some of the most important components that surveyors bring to real estate and infrastructure projects include:
Commercial Surveyors help to survey the land that the following are constructed on:
For these and other areas, it is critical to understand that there are many different zones that allow for different land uses to be conducted. There also may be overlays such as vegetation protection on the land as well as minimum and maximum land size for subdivisions, building heights and plot ratios that are important to know. Having the boundary lines and topographic heights accurately measured for a project ensures you can address and accommodate all of these issues while still completing the project.
A qualified land surveyor will survey the site to provide information including the location of features such as buildings and building heights, the land slope, road features and vegetation along with utilities that maybe present.

A Topographic Survey is a survey that collects data on the elevation points of an area of land and presents them as contour lines on a plot. In general, a topographic survey will provide data on the natural and man-made features of the land, in addition to its elevations. The characteristics of a topographical survey can these common elements:
A Topographic Survey is commissioned to define the natural and man-made objects situated on a parcel of land. A Topographic Survey can be combined with a Boundary Survey to reflect property lines in addition to the physical features.
Topographic Surveys generally reflect the elevations of the land, when measured at a specified interval. The elevation data can be combined with the location of physical features to determine drainage patterns and spatial relationships for objects located on the land being surveyed.
Any visible improvements on the lot can be identified and shown on the Topographical Survey. Utility lines, streetlights, pipe markers, electric boxes, and any visible evidence can be shown on the drawing. Items that are buried or located underground are marked by third-party companies and the surveyor can include their markings on the drawing.
Contour lines show where the peaks and the valleys of the land lay. For instance, if there is a significant slope on a property, the contour lines on the drawing will show every time there is a drop in vertical feet. In general, the smaller the cumulative drop, the more detailed the survey becomes.
When a stream or a wooded area is located, their attributes are identified by the land surveyor and data regarding the location of those attributes is obtained. The surveyor will locate individual water areas, trees and bushes, as well as the outer perimeter of a brushy area.

Utility Map, also known as Underground Utility Location Survey or Utility Mapping, shows the positioning and identification of buried pipes and cables beneath the ground. The procedure involves detecting things like sewers, electric cables, telecoms cables, gas and water mains.
The purpose of this particular type of survey is the horizontal location of underground utilities by means of locating above ground marks set by a Utility Locator. The location of the marks are obtained by a combination of Global Positioning System (GPS) observations and conventional methods.
The survey data that is collected is imported into a drawing file using line types corresponding to the surveyed utility. Drawing files can be used as reference files and/or overlaid in Google Maps system.
A Utility Survey Typically Includes:
Whenever breaking ground is needed for a project, Utility Maps are important to utilize as they show accurate positions of the buried utilities that can be encountered. Utility Maps also help in preventing digging into or damaging any utilities that may cause harm to the public or your workforce.

See Me For Me
When you look at me -
What do you see?
When you look into my eyes
Do you see beautiful blue,
sparkling with joy, delight
in my accomplishments
Or do you see that "almond shape"
or "brushfield spots"?
When you look at my hands
Do you see them reaching
for toys, writing the alphabet,
throwing a ball, doing a
meaningful job
Or do you see a "simian crease"?
When you look at my face
Do you see the resemblance
to my parents, that I have just had
my hair permed
Or do you see a "flat face" or
"epicanthal folds"?
When you look at my behavior
Do you see my feelings of
pleasure and anger, my desire
to achieve, my frustration in
being treated like a baby
Or do you see the "stubbornness"?
When you look at my development
Do you see me playing with peers,
participating in sports, growing
into a productive adult
Or do you see "low muscle tone" or
"the eternal child"?
When you look at my family
Do you see loving parents wanting
to challenge me to my ultimate potential,
sisters and brothers who have a better
understanding of the differences in us all?
Or do you see a family torn apart by my
difference, constantly in crisis, unable
to accept, never to feel the joy of
having a "normal child"?
What Do You See?
Look At Me.
Look Closer.
See Me For Me.

Refugee Entrepreneurship
Wydawnictwo: Springer International Publishing
Through a global series of case studies, this pioneering book delves into refugee entrepreneurship - a major economic, political and social issue emerging as a top priority. Stories from Australia, Germany, Pakistan and many other countries, highlight the obstacles facing refugees as they try to integrate and set up businesses in their new countries. Engaging contributions set the stage for a cross-analysis of the particularities and limitations faced by refugee entrepreneurs, culminating in an extended discussion about the future implications of refugee entrepreneurship for theory, policy and practice. This interdisciplinary book explores the motivations and drivers of refugee entrepreneurship, making it an insightful read not only for those engaged in entrepreneurship, but also for those interested in migration studies from a variety of academic disciplines.

Introduction Wp Rocket Combine Css
Do not you Just despise slow websites? Well, you're definitely not alone. Your visitors hate them and, to make matters worse, so does Google. That's correct, if you'd like your site to rank highly in search engines, sell more goods, generate more prospects, bring in more revenue, or simply deliver a more positive consumer experience, it needs to load fast. Wp Rocket Combine Css
click here to begin using WP Rocket today!
So just how Can you make your WordPress site quicker? Well, if you are still using a generic shared web host, one of the most effective options will, naturally, be to simply change to a greater performance hosting company. However, what if you just have not got the time or money to make the change?
Well, Luckily, there's something else you can do that's extremely quick and easy — something that requires next-to-no technical know-how whatsoever! I am talking, of course, about using a caching plugin.
Today, I'll be taking an comprehensive look at a few of the leading caching plugins around. WP Rocket. In the next review, I'll show you by just how much — and how readily — it can speed up your website (using real-life tests and actual data).
What is WordPress Caching?
Caching Involves creating — and saving — a readymade static (i.e. unchanging) variant of your site in your server ready to show to people at a minute's notice. This reduces the demand for your site (or the user's browsers) to communicate back and forth with the server to assemble the behind-the-scenes information that generates your site's webpages.
With less Communication going on between servers, and less data being loaded each time your site is obtained, the time necessary to load your posts and pages is considerably reduced.
WP Rocket Will possibly.
· Cache all the posts and pages on your website
· Enable browser caching
· Defer loading of JavaScript files
· Decrease bandwidth utilization with gzip compression
· optimise Google fonts
· minify and concatenate CSS and JS files
· Defer loading of images.
You may Be wondering what happens if you publish a new blog post on a cached site, since, paradoxically, an unchanging cached version of your website would not take this newly created data into consideration.
Not so! WP Rocket will regenerate the cached parts of your website each time you update your articles, thereby ensuring that your visitors will always find the most up-to-date version of your site.
Features of WP Rocket
It is worth Pointing out that, in terms of features alone, WP Rocket contrasts fairly Favorably using its competitors. Granted, you're probably more curious about just how much faster your website will probably be after installing WP Rocket (and rightfully so), but it's wonderful to know you are not missing out on some significant attributes.
With WP Rocket, you receive page caching, cache preloading, gzip compression, browser caching, Google Fonts optimization, picture and movie Lazy Load, minification, and a whole lot more.
If you do Choose to learn more about the further settings and options WP Rocket provides, you will see it's a few tricks up its sleeve for possibly improving speed much further, like the choice to simply load media files (such as pictures ) when the visitor reaches them on a webpage (a feature called Lazy Loading).
One of The highlights of WP Rocket is the easy installation process, which makes it a pretty much fool proof caching choice for busy WordPress webmasters. It's called being'childishly simple to install' — something users who only want to get the work done and move on will almost surely appreciate. Wp Rocket Combine Css
click here to get started with WP Rocket today!
In fact, When the plugin was uploaded and activated on your website, the cache will be automatically generated whenever someone visits the site. Everyone visiting your website then should immediately start experiencing significantly quicker loading times. Simple!
WP Rocket Aims to remove all such confusion by being mechanically up-and-running right out of the box without being so stiff that it's not able to deliver great results. After activating WP Rocket, you will see only a couple of tabs around the admin panel, each with only a couple of easy-to-understand settings.
You can See the rest of the basic settings screen here. When there are a few more choices to work with, the plugin works just fine without any of these empowered. This truly is plug'n' play with caching for WordPress!
Of Course, it is recommended that you browse the online documentation to actually see what this plugin could do and how much extra performance you can squeeze out of it, however, for all those in a rush (or using zero technical interest in the ins-and-outs of caching), it's safe to say that speeding up your website using WP Rocket couldn't be made much easier.
The primary Selling purpose of WP Rocket is how simple it makes allowing caching on your site. With many other caching plugins, you are confronted with the sometimes daunting task of understanding — and filling out — multiple pages of configurations and options. Based on how you configure them, you could easily wind up inadvertently doing something somewhat screwy (and even, in rare cases, inadvertently breaking up your site).
WP Rocket Can be compatible with content delivery network (CDN) services. if your website is big enough to warrant distributing its documents to multiple servers around the world for faster loading times, you'll find WP Rocket more than accommodating.
There is In addition, the option to modify the default cache expiry interval. But, unless you are displaying particularly fast-changing or important external dynamic content onto your own site (for instance, critical content from social media feeds), the default 24-hour lifespan ought to be fine.
Cache — Basic Cache Options
The Cache tab lets you control How your webpage caching functions at a basic level. You can. Wp Rocket Combine Css
· Include/exclude mobile users from viewing cached pages.
· Include/exclude logged-in users from visiting cached pages.
· Enable caching on HTTPS pages.
· Decide how long a webpage stays cached before the cache gets cleared (the default is 10 hours).
Most of the time, you can Render these as the defaults.
Media — Lazy loading + More
In the Media tab, then you can enable Lazy loading for images and/or videos, in addition to disable WordPress emojis and embeds.
1 feature That is really nice here's your choice to replace YouTube movie iframes with a static preview picture. If you embed lots of YouTube videos on your website, this really is a great way to speed up your website without sacrificing much, if any, usability.
Document Optimization — Minification And Concatenation
The File Optimization tab is Where you can set up WP Rocket's minification and concatenation performance.
· Minification — shrinks the size of your site's code by removing unnecessary characters (like whitespace) without changing any functionality.
· Concatenation — reduces the number of documents on your site by blending multiple CSS/JS files into one.
You can also install some other Settings like.
· Eliminate gender-blocking CSS/JS (PageSpeed Insights is notorious for yelling at you about this problem ).
· Combining Google Fonts documents (helpful if you use multiple Google Fonts on your website ).
· Remove query strings out of static sources (this you won't have a major effect, but it might enhance your GTmetrix score, if you care about that).
I recommend Enabling as a number of these configurations as you can. I state as possible because some of those configurations for CSS or JS might cause issues with your site (this is not WP Rocket's fault — it's always a possible problem with minification/concatenation).
What I like is that WP Rocket Makes this clear once you go to activate one of these configurations.
Three cheers for great UX Layout!
Preload — Preload Your Own Cache File
Without Preloading, your site only"builds" the cache for a page when someone actually visits the webpage. That means the first visitor following the cache lifespan expires doesn't observe the cached version (because the cache has not been constructed yet).
Cache Preloading enables you to ensure all visitors view the quick-loading cached page by"warming" yourself, instead of waiting for someone to see the webpage.
One of those Benefits of all WP Rocket is the fact that it gives you two different strategies to preload your cache, whereas some caching plugins do not even provide one.
· Sitemap preloading — Reload your cache based on all the pages in your sitemap.xml file. It's low impact, however the disadvantage is that it doesn't cache freshly published or edited posts.
· Preload bot — automatically crawls URLs once you publish/edit a post to ensure that recently edited/published content can be preloaded. The only downside is the fact that it's a bit more resource intensive, which might cause difficulties on"weak" web servers. Wp Rocket Combine Css
You Can Opt to use zero, One, or the two methods to preload your cache, depending upon your needs.
Database — Clean Up Your Database
As your website ages, your Database will pick up all kinds of"gunk" from the form of revisions, trashed comments, transients, etc..
This area helps you wash out All that unnecessary junk from the database with one click.
Personally, I find this to be The least exciting region of WP Rocket because there are loads of free plugins which do a great job cleaning your database. However, I guess the main advantage here is that WP Rocket eliminates the need for you to install another plugin.
CDN — Integrate With Your CDN
Should you use a CDN to speed up The worldwide delivery of your site, WP Rocket can assist you.
· Rewrite your URLs to use your CDN
· Exclude certain files from your CDN
As You can Discover complimentary Plugins to do the first part, the next component, in addition to the fact that you can book CNAMEs for specific file types, provides you more flexibility than most of these free choices.
By Way of Example, you could use one CNAME to your pictures, and another for the rest of your files.
If you are using Cloudflare, WP Rocket also includes a committed Cloudflare add-on that could help you to get setup with Cloudflare and control specific aspects of this Cloudflare service directly from the WP Rocket interface.
And that pretty much sums up The new WP Rocket 3.0 interface!
Through The plugin configurations, you can even enable caching for both mobile users and logged-in users — all with a simple click. After moving to this'advanced' tab, however, things begin to get a little more complicated.
To give you greater control over how caching Functions on your website, you're also free to exclude pages in the cache with the addition of their URLS into the'never cache the subsequent pages'
Through The CDN tab, you can configure the plugin to work together with your content delivery system of choice, while the tools section gives you fast access to the very clear and preload cache buttons.
What's? More, should you get stuck, the FAQ and service tabs make it exceptionally simple to get into the online documentation, and even open a service ticket from within your WordPress dashboard — a lovely touch!
In General, WP Rocket aims to be all things to all people. On the other hand, it is very easy to prepare and start using on your site with default settings which actually create great outcomes, nevertheless, on the other hand, there's also an appreciably large choice of settings and options to cater to more advanced users with particular needs, or those who demand more control over how caching functions on their website.
By Default, each time you print a new article or add new content to your site, WP Rocket will automatically regenerate that part of this cache. Not only that, but will also refresh the related areas of the cache (including the archive pages, menus, or widgets). Wp Rocket Combine Css
Should You have to refresh everything from the cache, though (not just recently updated or altered content), it is possible to force WP Rocket to regenerate it from scratch. Going a step farther, you will also find options to have unrelated components of your site automatically regenerated when a new post, page, merchandise, remark, or a different type of content has added.
field. (Note. Shopping cart and checkout pages are automatically excluded in the cache as part of the eCommerce service of WP Rocket.)
Documentation And Support
Even though Using WP Rocket from the box is very simple, in the event you get stuck or wish to know more of the ins and outs of how it functions, there is quite a little high tech documentation supplied — such as a getting started section, different tutorials, useful FAQs and a convenient troubleshooting section.
As long As your licence remains active, you may also open tickets with assistance to receive whatever WP Rocket-related assistance you need?
My WP Rocket Testing Results
As Mentioned at the top of this article, I had great results from using WP Rocket to cache my WordPress website. By testing the speed of my site using GTmetrix — with the default settings of WP Rocket and simply uploading and activating the plugin prior to creating the cache and running the tests — the ordinary page loading times dropped from 2.2 minutes to 0.9.
The site I tested the plugin was a WordPress blog using the free Twenty Twelve motif, with about 80 articles and 37 plugins. The website is hosted on a entry level shared hosting plan in HostGator, and has no CDN in drama.
No two WordPress websites will be the same, though, so that these results might not be common for many websites. They do, however, show that a very basic WordPress blog on the cheapest hosting will almost surely have the ability to achieve significantly improved load times using the plugin.
Other Methods to Accelerate Your WordPress Website
Whether You decide to use WP Rocket in your site or not, there are a number of other means to speed up your WordPress website that are worth mentioning, such as.
· Deactivating all redundant plugins (many plugins will significantly slow down your site)
· Assessing and optimising all images
· Employing a CDN support
· Upgrading into a WordPress-specific high-performance web host, such as WP Engine or Flywheel(if your budget allows).
All of These are well worth trying if you haven't already.
WP Rocket Pricing
With Prices starting at only $39 for use on a single WordPress website, WP Rocket is an affordable alternative for many. There are also some other strong free selections available — for example WP Super Cache, also, for the technically minded, W3 Total Cache (to mention but two of many. If you're searching for something that's exceptionally easy to set up and use, however, and also provides access to an extremely beneficial premium service desk, then WP Rocket is a powerful competitor.
The complete Pricing options are as follows. Wp Rocket Combine Css
· Personal. $39 (1 sites)
· Company. $99 (3 websites )
· Pro. $199 (unlimited sites)
All Options include a year's access to plugin updates and service. After this period, you may keep on using the plugin unsupported or renew your licence to maintain access. There's also a 30-day refund available in case you aren't entirely pleased with the plugin after purchase.
WP Rocket Is really quite striking. Not only is it extremely easy to use, in addition, it delivers great results.
Most of The tasks you'll be able to carry out to optimise the rate of your website take considerable time and effort — if that's optimising media files, reviewing and consolidating your plugins, migrating to a different web host or changing themes. WP Rocket, on the other hand, can be applied to your site in just a couple clicks.
What's? More, if you are a WordPress freelancer, if helping clients with their present websites or creating sites from scratch, having something like WP Rocket in your toolkit could be of enormous benefit. In only a couple of minutes, you will be able to accelerate a client's site and deliver them concrete outcomes (in the form of'before and after' online speeds evaluations ), also, when the very best way to distinguish yourself from your competition would be to provide more value to the client, things like this will definitely help.
As a Data-backed article over on Moz sets it. "Fast websites have more visitors, who see more pages for longer periods of time, who come back more frequently, and are generally more inclined to purchase products or click advertisements."
Due to Its quick setup procedure, speeding up your website with WP Rocket really is an easy win in the war against slow load times.

Coal Classic Wrap Jumpsuit
Our classic Coal Linen Wrap Jumpsuit is a best-selling shape for us, this time in a really lovely matte black linen.

The pants below the wasit have a small pleat and the 'seat' is generous, making it a great option for those with long bodies or tall legs.
The wrap front allows for a good fit no matter what your bust size or body shape, while the short cap are just the right length to be flattering.
Sideseam pockets, a CB invizible zip, front tucks and back darts.
Sizing notes
Jumpsuit is true to size, and forgiving for generous busts and booties. Choose based on your usual fitted dress size. Shorter legs can easily have the pant leg shortened. The pant leg is long.

I have to say I am gutted that John Sergeant has been forced off strictly come dancing, and it is clear to me that it is the shows loss not his.
John is popular with the public.
Some people say he is his own man, but it is clear from what he said that he is feeling the animosity of both the judges and other contestants, and that is his sole reason for leaving.
That is wrong. The rules are that the public get a say. Thats it. If the judges and other contestants don't like it they should go.
The BBC has this and this.

John Sergeant was not a victim of his departure, he orchestrated and directed it.
For which, given it is an entertainment show, we should have the highest respect.

It is interesting to have the curtain of Oz pulled back from the facade that all we need is more big government and big government power grabs to solve the woes of our country. With the big liberal dreams of the far left in play now that the White House is occupied by Team Obama - one member farther left than the next - and the audacity of members of Congress calling for government takeover of public and private industries, it is now that the Democrats must face what Republicans have known to be true. There is a limit to the effectiveness of big government.
Now that the Republicans are rightfully calling for government action for the clean up measures taken by the federal government, the Democrats are making hay and openly ridiculing the GOP. Why? BP was drilling in federally controlled waters. BP was operating with a government issued permit. Oil drilling is regulated by the federal government. Oil drilling is taxed by the federal government.
It is a common sense reaction for Republicans to demand the President and his cabinet step up and do the right thing. The right thing, in this disaster, is to demand that BP plug the well as soon as possible, which is in their best interests, too. It is for the President and his cabinet members to reform the MMS - he brought on the director that had to resign after issuing the permits to BP just months ago. For the finger pointing to continue from this administration and their flacks hitting the talking heads shows is ridiculous. It is now well into the second year of a four year term. They were focused like a laser beam on health care legislation and big spending taxing legislation - like the stimulus bills - yet doing what they criticize previous administrations of doing, neglecting reforms necessary within regulatory departments. Grow up and do the job at hand.
THIS from a column in The Wall Street Journal: Coming as it did on the heels of various other government fiascoes and embarrassments—the subsidized-mortgage crisis, ethanol, California issuing IOUs, Bernie Madoff, ultra-deep public debt, infrastructure turning to dust everywhere—the Gulf mess is the moment for the American people to reconsider just what they think government can do, or should do.
Less, more efficient and effective government control is needed from Washington, D.C.

Sister Josephina Pitre, O.P.
Dorothy Ann Pitre
Sister Josephina Pitre was born in Franklin, Louisiana. Her parents, Ollie V. BlanchettePitre and Joseph Pitre moved the family to Orange, Texas when she was just a baby. She attended St. Mary's Catholic School for all twelve grades.
"All the teachers were sisters." She remembers thinking about becoming a nun in the second grade. She would think about it on and off for many years until the eighth grade. The thought of entering the convent came back when she was a senior in high school and it never left. She graduated high school and entered the convent in September 1954.
Sister Josephina's first teaching position was teaching second grade at St. Mary Catholic School in Port Arthur where she was responsible for doing the children's sacramental preparation. "It was a big responsibility. I will never forget it." The next year she was asked to teach the first grade and loved it! She has fond memories of Sister Clarice who was principal during those years. She would help the teachers on Saturdays, giving them support they needed to develop as better teachers.
Sister Josephina taught at St. Christopher Catholic School, Christ the King Catholic School, and Queen of Peace Catholic School in Houston, Texas. She also taught in California and in LaMarque, Texas. Sister Josephina found herself back at St. Mary Catholic School in Orange, Texas in 1973. She was there for ten years. She enjoyed teaching the children of her former classmates. In 1983 she went to teach at St. Anthony Cathedral Catholic School in Beaumont where she taught until 2007. "The best part of teaching was teaching the first grade. I would get them when they were eager to learn. I enjoyed teaching them religion, art and their phonograms."
In 2007 she retired from teaching and worked in the library and office at St. Anthony's. During this time Sister Josephina cared for her mother and spent time with her family. "I had the great honor of taking care of my mother until she died.
Sister Josephina spends her time now painting. She plans to finish details on several paintings. She currently lives with her Dominican Sisters at the Villa. "Our community is knit together giving it a feeling of such togetherness."
Interview with Sister Josephina Pitre, O.P. on November 25, 2013 .
