Hi, is there any support for this theme? I can't seem to get the background image to show up on all pages…Thanks in advance.
Hi Cecil,
Sorry for the delay here. I was mainly getting email comments from the Preview site :) Are you still running into trouble here? If so, could you post your URL so I could see if I can take a quick look?

Hey! Thanks a bunch for the free WordPress theme! Good quality sometimes is hard to find…till now. Much appreciated!
Damn this is slick, you all are too nice for dropping this one for free, thanks!
I enjoy your theme. i would like to limit view of posts in archive pages and main index page and add a read more link, is it possible to tell me the way ?
I know about the way when i start out a new post, but i want to apply this to older posts too.
Thank you,
An edit link will be cool if exist in the post
Hi Mena,
I think you've figured out your read more link, but in regards to limiting the number of posts in the archive pages:
This is done through WordPress' settings. Visit your WordPress Settings >> Reading to see that number of posts setting.
For blog. it"s doesn't work on IE. why? Can you explain for it ? and how to do it to work on IE. Thanks you very much. I like this theme.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O_o
Very? VEEERY THANKS!!!
oh my god… this amazing theme….. i will choose this one… !! great work
This is a beautiful theme! Thank you for making it available …. I would only love to remove the green leafy image in the background. I originally downloaded this for Blogger:
… and I loved the simple grey dot motif so if there is any way to retain only that, I would appreciate it.
There are many bug. When will the next update?
For those with issues with the background fadein not always happening, here is a fix:
Go into Theme folder > js folder > open the jquery.functions.js in a text editor
if (!$.browser.msie){
$("#bg").bind("load", function () { $(this).fadeIn(2000); });
That should fix your problem!
The problem is related to

I hope this helps!
I tried to fix the problem and after changing the lines the background image didnt appear at all in Google Chrome.
Are you sure, the new lines are right so?
Love the Theme. My only request is for a google+ link/icon in to top right 'follow us' bar.
Thanks guys,
I just can't believe you give it for free. I really love the design, and looking forward to change my personal blog theme with this one. Can't wait :)
Thanks a lot guys!

I downloaded the theme and I love it, but I'm having trouble keeping the background image loaded. Right now it's not loading at all, I did the fix listed above and it worked for awhile, but now its not loading at all. Also, I'd rather have the background not fade in, but just have it be a static image, is that possible?
Please, new update. Thanks! :)
good theme . how to setup portfolio on this theme..?
On my download, the twitter and Facebook goes to a random person. How do I change that?
Hey Haley,
I get that very same thing with the linked in link! Facebook is fine though.
Would really really love an update guys – would even pay to keep this theme going!
I really do love it, and want to keep – but found my site recently hacked and files modified – not sure of it was through theme integrity or the google maps app, as both had malicious code.
Apart from that, great work.
In order for child themes to work with this them, you need to change the style.css reference.
<link href="/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
First off, AWESOME theme. Love it!
Just a question about flexibility:
In the theme options, for the social links, is there any way to have other social platforms instead of Flickr & LinkedIn? I wanted to add Pinterest instead.
Thanks in advance!
This is a great theme, but one major bug I'm seeing is that Jetpack forms do not show up at all. They just aren't generated, even in the code. But using another Theme they show up as expected. Also tried deactivating plugins with no effect.
Is there a fix for this somewhere?
Hi I'm some trouble to upload my new logo and fav icon?
can u help me?
Is there any way to repalace the title of the site with an uploaded image?
I can't force it to wrap text around image. It simply does not work for me…
Its a wonderful theme…thanks for your lovely time you took to create this.The world needs such brilliant minds like yours.
Love the theme. But I'm having an issue with photo galleries in this theme(not portfolios, but native wp galleries).
If there is more than one gallery on the page, (i.e. more than one post on a page with a gallery in it, not multiple galleries in a post) the first one loads fine but the ones in the posts below it don't load an image until the 'next' arrow button is clicked.
See the issue here:
Changing order doesn't seem to make a difference, and the jpg files seem fine otherwise.
Any idea why this might be happening?
Hi there– I can't seem to get the background image to show up on my site. When I go to "Bello Options" under Appearance on my dash, and upload a background image, the only thing that shows up is the grid part of the background. What am I doing wrong/is there some sort of coding workaround that can fix this? Thanks for any advice.
Any way to enlarge submenu width?
How to add sub-text for pages in menu?
I mean texts:
HOME – no place like it
DOCUMENTATION – how do i…
PORTFOLIO – see our stuff
ABOUT BELLO – see gallery style
I want to add these italic texts.
Lasse M. Tvedt
You have to create a custom menu under Appearance -> Menus.
The title attribute for every menu item will be the sub-text.
This theme seems to not be working now. Background won't show, the photo gallery isn't working :( Not even on the demo
@Tracey: it happened also to me. Apparently, WordPress is now loading jQuery version 1.9, which do not support $.browser anymore. My quick workaround was to go in the jquery.functions.js file of the theme, and substitute every occurrence of !$.browser.msie with $.support.leadingWhitespace (which, according to documentation, should serve a similar purpose).
I hope this is helping.
Thank you so much! That fixed my background so now it's showing but my gallery is still messed up. When I click on a picture instead of the gallery working it just opens the picture on a new page. I am not much of a coder so I'm totally lost on the gallery. Thank you for helping me get my background back! <3
Theme is now working properly now. I checked demo on this site but demo also not working properly.
Background image is not displaying.
Header Banner is not working.
"Shareaholic | share buttons, analytics, related content" plugin not working on this theme. I check this plugin with other theme and there plugin is working properly.
Ranveer, look at the post above this. Simone told me how to get my background working again and it did work. I cant get my picture gallery working though.
Thank you Tracey,
Background image is showing now.
I'm using this template on Blogspot. Already few days, the background image is not displaying. Anyone know how to fix it?
Hi, your theme is really amazing! Could I use some of your codes flow in my commerical wordpress theme project. I don't copy the whole this theme admin, only part of "update option value". Would you allow it?
I'm using this template on Blogspot. Already few days the background image is not displaying. Anyone know how to fix it? Please :'(
Any idea to solve the gallery issue ?
On my blog too, I can't get my pictures galelries working… When I click on a picture instead of the gallery working it just opens the picture on a new page
Problem solved !!!
in wg-includes\functions\wg-custom-functions.php
line 180
replace all line by : wp_register_script( 'jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js');
It will force wordpress to use jquery 1.8.3 instead of the lastest version.
… Waiting an update of the themes & plugins, supporting v1.9 :)
Thank You JMB,
All issues has been solved related to bello theme.
Thanks again.
Hi, has anyone got problem with background image, it just stoped working, and it doesn't appare, I was reuploading many times and still tha same,
thanks a lot
Hello Marek,
Just follow JMB's comment.
Hi, sorry I'm not a professional in WP, so I don't know where can I find it, is it in editor on the left panel – EDITOR – and than functions.php,
where can I find 180 line
sorry if it's stupid question
Thank you for this theme, it's great, I love how clean and easy to customize it is. I only had one small problem with it, I couldnt get the "follow us" string to translate using the panel (other strings translate ok though), i had to translate it manually using the editor. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but anyway, thought I'd let you know. Thanks again, wonderful theme!!
Is there a way to get the featured image of a post linked to the actual media file?
The featured image and media file would be the exacte same file, I just would like to possibility of enlarging that image.
Tahnk you!
Nevermind, I found it here:
Thank you anyway and once again, wonderful theme!
I have been looking for a simple theme like this and is happy that it's free!
1. I am new to blogging and just trying to pick a theme for my food blog and is having trouble customizing this theme..I was wondering if I can make this a 2 column theme..I am trying to get rid of the side bar on to the right so that can have a wider main content column.
2. Also when I upload a picture for the background it doesn't seem to load.
Ant help will be appreciated! :-(
Hi there, I'm wondering why the background worked in the past but stopped working after about a week. I'm using it for my own wedding page. I hope you can help. http://aiofejeff2013.com
Hey guys,
I am trying to use the DynamicGrid: Photo Gallery plugin with the Bello theme on one page, however it seems to work but lightbox (part of the plugin) isnt?
I have turned off this theme and put it on TwentyTwelve and it worked with the lightbox on click, yet the Bello theme seems to have something stopping it.
Can you please help?
Hallo. Is this site in html?
Because i dont working with php :(
Hello to all,
Following up on JMB's point, quick question about the compatibility of the Bello theme with Jetpack :
"Problem solved !!!
in wg-includes\functions\wg-custom-functions.php
line 180
replace all line by : wp_register_script( 'jquery', 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js');
It will force wordpress to use jquery 1.8.3 instead of the lastest version.
… Waiting an update of the themes & plugins, supporting v1.9 :)"
I can't get Jetpack's tiled galleries to work (http://jetpack.me/support/tiled-galleries/)
Is there a conflict between the theme and Jetpack? I tried JMB's solution but the galleries still don't show up.
How can I get around this?
Thank you in advance.
I'm not understanding how to make a portfolio, could you post the exact procedure please?
Where is the option to change the background dot image to the background bg.image.1.jpg pic? This is the background option shown in the demo and it is in the image file, but I can't seem to find a way to change it to that. Is that an option?
If so I can fix the background image issue with renaming my backgound bg.image.1.jpg and ftping it up to to the site.
Another issue i am having is getting the comment option off pages. I when to pages, pulled down the "screen option" and unchecked "comments" but they are still there. Help?!
also..still need to get the background uploaded and I don't have any program that will allow me to access the js files.
The theme is great and simple, but do you plan to update it at all? I know that it's a freebie… But that doesn't mean that it shouldn't work!
There are other bugs like the frame of the captions not being shown. For which you have to add this to the style.css:
.wp-caption {
border: 1px solid #ddd;
text-align: center;
background-color: #f3f3f3;
padding-top: 4px;
margin: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
-khtml-border-radius: 3px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
.wp-caption img {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: 0 none;
.wp-caption p.wp-caption-text {
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 17px;
padding: 0 4px 5px;
margin: 0;
Or also the images aligned as right not aligning at all. Have to add this to the style.css too:
img.centered {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
img.alignright {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 0 2px 7px;
display: inline;
img.alignleft {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 7px 2px 0;
display: inline;
.alignright {
float: right;
.alignleft {
float: left;
Any plans for an update?
Love the theme! How do you install it? :(
Muy bonito, muchas gracias
I know this is a free theme and there may not be much support available, but, I LOVE this theme! I am a non-tekkie newb to Wordpres and I am trying to figure out how to make all the pages of this theme resemble the "portfolio" page, which has the left sidebar, content, then right sidebar. All other pages only have left and content.
I have tried changing the page defaults, but that doesn't work. Can you help/
thanks again for the beautiful template. Out of the literally 100′s I have sampled, this by far most meets my needs.
thank you!
Thanks For Great Themes.
The site was very beautiful!
Thank you very much!!!
Please help! I'm trying to use this Ajax Calendar Event plug-in, and it won't seem to display on Bello. It works on the default theme, though. It's a free plug-in, so you can try it for yourself. What do you think might be causing this problem and is there a simple solution?
Here's the FAQ for the plug-in- https://code.google.com/p/wp-aec/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions

Thanks for this theme, I like it so much! But I have a question, I don't understand where the third column is for, the 'portfolio? I don't know where I can use it for, or how I can add something there? I have a cooking blog. Could you maybe take a look? And help me with how to put something there? Or is it maybe possible to delete the whole column?
Kind regards,
What a great collection, Thanks for sharing with us. I like this theme a lot.
Hi and thank you for such a great theme!
I am currently testing it out in a hidden directory on my website and I, like many others, it seems, an unable to see the background I have uploaded. I made sure the dimensions are right etc…. but …nothing! Any other suggestions?
Thank you!

Hey. Absolutely loving the minimalistic design of Bello.
Just noticed something though. I have to double space when writing a post to get a single space when the post is published.
Anyway to fix it so it works like normal where you hit return once in the dashboard editor and it double spaces the lines in the post when published? If that makes sense.
Thanx, your theme is really amazing!

To write your own performance review, show off your accomplishments, assess your skills honestly, be concise and present a wide range of accomplishments and skills. Asking colleagues for feedback can give you help in narrowing down what to put in your evaluation. Include some areas for improvement and actionable steps to achieve them in addition to the accomplishments.Continue Reading
Using a conversational yet professional tone is effective when writing your own performance evaluation. Use specific descriptive words that provide an accurate picture of your work performance. Give specific examples of projects or accomplishments instead of giving general statements. Include facts and figures when possible, such as percentages to show success rate or sales numbers that show improvement.
Look back over the entire period covered in the evaluation when looking for examples and accomplishments. Your newest accomplishments are freshest on your mind and on the mind of your supervisor, but you may find some impressive accomplishments you forgot about in the past. Pull examples from different parts of your job. Present examples of your customer service and not just your sales numbers.
While you want to focus on the positives of your performance, including some areas of improvement shows that you can look at your performance objectively. It also shows that you want to improve your performance. Include some specific goals related to those areas to show you have a plan.Learn more about Business Communications

NEWARK ,NJ — The Honorable Cory A. Booker, 42, is the Mayor of Newark, New Jersey, the largest city in the State of New Jersey. Mayor Booker is presently serving in his second term.
Elected with a clear mandate for change, Mayor Booker began work on realizing a bold vision for the City. Newark's mission is to set a national standard for urban transformation by marshalling its resources to achieve security, economic abundance and an environment that is nurturing and empowering for individuals and families.
Mayor Booker and his Administration, together with the City's residents, have made meaningful strides towards achieving the City's mission by tackling significant challenges with innovation, new coalitions, creative public private partnerships and building on the already existing great foundation in New Jersey's most historic city.
Mayor Booker and his team have more than doubled the rate of affordable housing production; created the City's largest expansion of parks and recreation spaces in over a century with nearly 50 acres of new or refurbished parks; and brought more than $1 billion of new economic development into the City (including the first new hotels under construction in the City's downtown in 40 years and the first new office tower under construction in 20 years). Business attraction has also been a focus for Mayor Booker and his team – they have attracted new large businesses (including Panasonic, Manishewitz and audible.com) to relocate their national and international headquarters to Newark and, through the City's economic development corporation, created a small and midsize business loan fund that has helped over 50 businesses start or expand. Mayor Booker has also attracted national attention for his education reform efforts – already succeeding in significantly expanding high quality public education options for families and leading in the creation of new strong educational and career development opportunities for Newark's disaffected youth.
Recognizing the dignity, worth and limitless potential of all people, Mayor Booker has led in the creation of an innovative network of resources and programs for men and women coming home from incarceration, dramatically driving down recidivism rates for those involved. Mayor Booker and his team have led with other innovations for youth and families including New Jersey's first youth and community courts and the creation of a network of grassroots financial and family empowerment centers in 14 neighborhoods throughout the City.
Mayor Booker has also gained wide attention for his implementation and usage of new technologies ranging from creating the State's largest wireless network of crime fighting technology (including cameras and gunshot detection) to raising the bar on customer service using social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.
For all his efforts and those of countless Newark residents and activists, Newark is fast becoming recognized as one of America's rising cities of hope and promise. Mayor Booker's leadership in these significant civic strides has been recognized by numerous magazines and other media outlets, including being named to the 2011 TIME 100, the magazine's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
Mayor Booker received his B. A. and M. A. from Stanford University, a B. A. in Modern History at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar, and completed his law degree at Yale University. And he has often been known to say, he got his B.A. from Stanford but thanks to a great city, he received his best education from the people of Newark, New Jersey.

Sustainability in Design, Manufacture and Marketing
Janet Friday is the Director of Environmental Sustainability at Merck, bringing over 30 years of environmental compliance and sustainability experience to address the company's challenges. Prior to joining Merck, Janet worked for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and an environmental consulting firm. She joined Merck in 1993 and has worked in various roles supporting Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) compliance for pharmaceutical manufacturing operations.
In 2013 – the year she completed her M.B.A. in Sustainable Business at Marylhurst University – Janet joined Merck's corporate staff, overseeing the execution of Merck's sustainability strategy and goals. She is currently working to embed sustainability thinking into the design, manufacture and marketing of Merck's pharmaceutical products.
The following is an excerpt from an interview with Janet Friday, conducted as part of a series on women leaders by Women's Climate Collaborative.
Women's Climate Collaborative: You have an interesting educational background, with degrees in mechanical engineering, economics, urban studies and sustainable business. How has this range of disciplines helped you navigate a regulatory agency, a consulting firm, and now a Fortune 500 company?
Janet Friday: I am always eager to learn something new. I tend to think about my education and career as an integrated series of stepping stones. Each "stone" provides me with experience, knowledge and insight into what to do next. I started out in engineering because I was fascinated with how machines worked and liked solving problems. Once I started down that path, I realized that I needed more than the fine details of engineering calculations. I wanted a bigger picture understanding of how the world worked, so I changed my major to include a B.A. in Economics. After I graduated from college, I started working at EPA in the air quality program, with a focus on urban air pollution. After several years there, I started a graduate degree in urban studies, which led me understand the multi-faceted issues facing cities, including both social and environmental. After spending 20 years in the private sector, I wanted to do more to promote the triple bottom line – the intersection of environmental, social and economic performance – so I pursued my M.B.A in Sustainable Business. My current role allows me to utilize all the knowledge I have gained along the way from my degrees and my work experience.
WCC: What has been your biggest challenge as the Director of Environmental Sustainability, and how are you tackling it?
JF: My biggest challenge seems to be the "status quo" and the tendency of people to do things the way they've always done them. One of the best things about my current role as sustainability director is that I am very externally focused and interact with a lot of people from other companies and industries that are also working on sustainability. This has opened my mind to alternative ways of thinking and inspired me to be bolder about driving change internally. One of my main responsibilities is to bring the "outside-in" and educate my colleagues about the business benefits associated with pursuing environmental sustainability improvements.
WCC: Embedding sustainability thinking into the design of products is challenging for most manufacturing companies, but even more so for pharmaceutical firms whose products are taken by patients. What is your near-term and longer-term focus toward the goal of sustainable products?
JF: We've actually had a Green Chemistry program in place for many years that helps drive environmental improvements in the design of our manufacturing processes. Recently, we renamed this program to Green and Sustainable Science to be more inclusive of both our chemical and biological products. Another area of focus for the last few years has been Packaging Design for Environment where we assess the life cycle environmental impacts of our packaging and try to reduce our footprint. We've seen that our customers are starting to develop environmental criteria for the products and packaging they buy from us, so we are focused on making changes to meet those requirements. We're also building our capabilities in performing life cycle assessments to help guide our decision-making in this area.
WCC: Given that reducing greenhouse gas emissions is still largely voluntary, how do you rally support for these reductions across a large organization?
JF: It's all about the business case. Initially we emphasized cost reduction as the biggest driver for pursuing energy reduction projects. That worked in some situations, but not all, due to the need to meet internal financial return requirements. We've expanded our business case to include things like risk reduction, customer expectations, investor interest and even talent retention. As the energy markets are changing, renewable energy is becoming more economically attractive, and that helps. Getting management sponsorship for these types of activities is critical, and you need to make sure you can make a credible business case.
WCC: Looking back on your career, were there pivotal moments when you figured out how to achieve your aims in a new or different way?
JF: Not really. I learned early on that you need to have data to back up your proposals. Once you have the facts, then you need to deliver your message in an effective way. I always try to be myself, speak confidently, and lay all my cards on the table. The most challenging thing for me recently has been to figure out how to tell my sustainability story in a short, crisp and compelling way. I only have a limited amount of time to make a case to senior management, so I have to have a well refined "elevator speech."
WCC: What is the single most important piece of advice you could give professionals coming up through the ranks now in the environmental field?
JF: I guess my best advice would be to keep your options open and don't specialize too quickly. I've worked as a government regulator, an environmental consultant, an environmental compliance manager in industry, and now a sustainability director. There are things to be learned from each role you take on, and you need to figure out what type of job fits with your talents and interests. I would tell them to take some time to explore different roles and use what you learn to choose your next "stepping stone."
Janet Friday earned her M.B.A. in Sustainable Business from Marylhurst University in 2013.

|Two Myths about
World Showcase at Epcot
Disney hasnt added any countries to World Showcase at Epcot since Norway in 1988—that was 25 years ago. On the Internet, two reasons are mentioned over and over. What's the real story?
This is an enhanced version of a Yesterland article originally published in June 2010.
, Curator of Yesterland, July 12, 2013
World Showcase Lagoon in 1983, before the Morocco Pavilion and the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort
The Claim: "Disney can't add any more countries to World Showcase at Epcot because there isn't any more room."
Status: False
The Claim: "Each of the World Showcase pavilions was paid for by a national government. Any new countries would also have to be paid for by a national government."
Status: False
As you walk around World Showcase, there are no gaping vacant lots or long stretches of plywood walls. But that doesn't mean World Showcase is full.
There are actually six available expansion sites, or eight if you remove the World ShowPlace pavilion (the former Millennium Village), or even ten if you include the space on either side of The American Adventure.
There are six expansion sites and two more (marked with an asterisk) currently occupied by World ShowPlace.
World Showcase was designed with ten pavilion sites on each side of The American Adventure—21 sites in total. My map shows nine sites on each side—19 in total.
I purposely didn't show the sites immediately adjacent to The American Adventure as available sites on the map. The massive American Adventure Pavilion, which uses a reverse forced perspective to look smaller than it actually is, is so different in scale from the international villages that it needs space around it. (What it really needs is a table-service restaurant showcasing the best in regional American cuisine, but that's another story.)
Just because my map shows a site as available doesn't mean it's completely empty. It you look at World Showcase from above with Google Maps, Google Earth, or Bing, you'll see numerous service sheds (and plenty of large trees). But that doesn't make the sites unusable.
The trees between Germany and Italy correspond to parcel 4 on the map.
Germany includes a large outdoor model railroad. There are always people watching the trains and admiring the German village and countryside with its miniature landscaping. It's the closest thing to an attraction at the Germany Pavilion.
But it's not really part of the Germany Pavilion site. Think of the railroad layout as filler—ready to be bulldozed if the site is needed for another pavilion.
Norway (left) and China (right) are the only two World Showcase Pavilions directly adjacent to each other.
Currently, there's only one case of two international pavilions abutting. Norway and China are separated by only a service road. If more pavilions were added to World Showcase, this would be the rule rather than the exception.
The World ShowPlace pavilion is a large space for private functions and Epcot Food & Wine Festival events.
Site 8 on the map is the entrance to the World ShowPlace pavilion, which stretches behind the United Kingdom Pavilion, pushing access roads into site 7. From October 1, 1999 through January 1, 2001, it was Millennium Village, the focal point of Epcot's Millennium Celebration.
The pavilion is essentially a big, inflatable tent. It was put up quickly, and there's no reason that it can't come down quickly—except that it presumably makes money for Disney in its current form. Disney now promotes the 40,000 square-foot function space as "the world's largest indoor group facility located within a Theme Park." It's used for "exhibitions, trade shows, receptions, banquets, conferences and meetings of virtually any size and shape."
The World ShowPlace pavilion is out-of-place between the beautifully designed pavilions of World Showcase.
The Outpost (site 2 on the map) helps to fill the double site between China and Germany.
There's enough room for two pavilions between China and Germany. Today's Epcot Guidemaps identify this area as the Outpost, but the site just across the canal from China was originally going to be an elaborate pavilion about Equatorial Africa.
The book EPCOT Center: A Pictorial Souvenir (1982) described three new pavilions.
In fact, early visitors to EPCOT Center encountered signs around World Showcase showing where three new pavilions would be built. Not only were all three eventually cancelled, but only two permanent pavilions were ever added.
Having established that there's plenty of room for more pavilions, we now get to the second myth. When Internet discussions arise about why World Showcase has not seen a new pavilion since 1988, it's not unusual for someone to point out that World Showcase pavilions are each funded by the corresponding national government, but that Disney has been unsuccessful at getting more governments onboard.
The 1976 Annual Report of Walt Disney Productions included concept artwork for Venezuela.
EPCOT Center opened in 1982 with nine pavilions in World Showcase. Do you know how many were paid for by a national government?
That's right. Zero.
That's not how Disney originally envisioned it.
The 1975 Annual Report of Walt Disney Productions showed World Showcase as two semi-circular buildings.
Here's an excerpt from the 1975 Annual Report to the shareholders of Walt Disney Productions describing World Showcase:
Beyond the scientific and technological aspects of EPCOT the project holds great promise for the advancement of international cooperation and understanding. The World Showcase, planned for opening In late 1979, will be devoted to this goal. An on-going international exposition, for which an admission will be charged, the World Showcase will communicate the culture, heritage, history, technology, trade, tourism and future goals of the participating nations.
It will consist of a coordinated series of national pavilions housed side-by-side in two dramatic, semi-circular structures. These dynamic structures will face each other across a Courtyard of Nations, where there will be a major theater for performances by international celebrities and entertainment groups, and where parades, pageants and special events will be staged by entertainers from the participating nations.
Although these national pavilions may vary in size, each will enjoy equal facade exposure to the guest. The entire complex will be tied together by a Disney people-moving system that will offer visitors a preview look into each attraction.
Unlike a world's fair, it will offer participating countries a permanent installation for such features as themed restaurants and shops, product exhibits, industrial displays, cultural presentations, a trade center, and even special facilities for business meetings. A major part of each pavilion will be a Disney-designed ride or attraction which will give guests a foretaste of an actual visit to the country. National musical groups or other performing artists could present special entertainment on a continuing basis.
Yes, Disney wanted "participating countries." And the countries would see value in spending money to participate, right? After all, countries around the world funded participation in world's fairs—such as the huge Expo '67 in Montreal—which normally run for less than one year.
Rhine River Cruise from 1976 Annual Report of Walt Disney Productions—no major sponsorship, no ride
Here's another excerpt from the 1975 Disney Annual Report:
Each participating nation will be asked to provide the capital to cover the cost of designing, developing and constructing its attraction and/or ride and all exhibits, as well as the Pavilion itself. It will also have the responsibility for funding the housing for its employees in the International Village. Its land lease will cover the cost of maintaining the attraction for a minimum of ten years.
The Disney organization will be responsible for area development, including the construction of transportation systems and utilities. We will also build and operate the internal people moving system, the Courtyard of Nations and central theater facility.
World Showcase opened as part of EPCOT Center in 1982, not 1979.
The San Angel Inn was one of the two original "participants" for the Mexico Pavilion.
World Showcase was not entirely without financial participants—although some pavilions were. Instead of national governments, the participants were businesses—ones that hoped to sell merchandise, meals, beer, or wine to guests. Here's the list from 1982:
The American Adventure: American Express, Coca Cola
The Morocco Pavilion is the only World Showcase pavilion funded by a foreign country.
Having now refuted that foreign governments paid for the World Showcase pavilions, we arrive at the one exception.
In 1984, the Morocco Pavilion opened. King Hassan II of Morocco saw an opportunity to share his country's culture with Americans. He sent a small army of skilled artisans to create incredible interiors. The pavilion and its restaurant are still operated by an entity set up by the Kingdom of Morocco.
The waiting area between the Maelstrom ride and the film The Spirit of Norway still contains sponsor names.
At the time of the opening of the Norway Pavilion in 1988, an article in the Orlando Sentinel ("Norway Pavilion Opens—Without Viking Ride" by Vicki Vaughan, June 2, 1988) provided a rare glimpse into the sponsorship details. Here is an excerpt:
Norwegian Showcase USA A/S, also called NorShow, is a consortium of 11 companies established to pay for the pavilion and represent Norwegian interests. The Norwegian government also helped pay for the pavilion.
NorShow president Gunnar Jerman said his company contributed $33 million for the pavilion. The figure includes a $2 million contribution from the Norwegian government and an $8 million government loan to NorShow.
Disney would not reveal the total cost of the pavilion. The company incurred costs because Disney Imagineering designed and built the pavilion.
Jerman said NorShow will share any profit from sales of food and souvenirs. The first $3.2 million in profit will go to NorShow, he said, and the next $400,000 to Disney. After that, NorShow will keep 60 percent of all profit and Disney, 40 percent.
As you just read, the Norwegian government kicked in some money, but it was primarily a business consortium.
The Japan Pavilion has been sponsored by Mitsukoshi, Inc. since the opening of EPCOT Center.
In a way, the story ends in 1988. That was the last permanent pavilion.
Over the years, I've seen artwork for Spain, Israel, Equatorial Africa, Russia, Denmark, Costa Rica, Iran (going back to when the Shah of Iran was in power), United Arab Emirates, Switzerland, and probably some others. Supposedly, the Swiss-based multinational food conglomerate Nestlé S.A. was to have sponsored a pavilion about Switzerland (complete with a Matterhorn Bobsleds ride, but instead took over sponsorship of The Land in Epcot's Future World from Kraft. We can also assume that Disney has tried to work out other business cases to expand World Showcase, without showing artwork outside a small group with a "need to know."
Apparently, they've never come up with a compelling business case when the capital cost and ongoing costs of a new pavilion are compared to the revenue from participant fees and rents, guest spending in the pavilion, increased Epcot attendance, and the potential for higher hotel yield when there are more reasons to visit Walt Disney World.
That seems surprising.

A decision by the Federal Reserve in early August to hold the overnight fed funds rate at 5.25% brought a sigh of relief from most commercial real estate professionals, who welcomed the news as a sign that brisk volume in investment sales will continue uninterrupted.
"Most buyers and owners view this in a positive way," says Eric Anton, senior managing director at New York-based Eastern Consolidated, a full-service real estate investment services firm. "It's helpful to the industry."
Yet the Fed's pause was probably too late to avoid a recession for an economy that was already slowing, economists say. The flat yield curve is a primary cause of concern, and has grown more worrisome since the Fed's Aug. 8 announcement.
The 10-year Treasury yield closed at 4.93% on Aug. 8, the day the Fed kept the overnight lending rate at 5.25%. Normally, long-term rates are higher than short-term rates, but in this case the 10-year Treasury yield fell another 12 basis points to 4.81% by Aug. 22. If investors interpret the Fed's decision as an indication that inflation is in check, the long-term yield may drop further.
The 10-year Treasury note will indeed move closer to 4.5% in the coming weeks, making the inverted yield curve more pronounced, predicts James Smith, chief economist at Parsec Financial Management in Asheville, N.C. Historically, an inverted yield curve lasting a month or more has been a prelude to economic recession, Smith says. "Why should 2007 be any different if this happens?"
An inverted yield curve does strain the banking system, agrees economist Anthony Pierson, managing director of portfolio management at Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers. But Pierson isn't convinced the yield curve will remain inverted for long. At times, the low yield on long-term bonds can suggest that investors expect the economy to stumble, he explains. But in this case, the low rate more likely reflects a high demand for the security of bonds as investors avoid volatility in the stock market, adds Pierson.
Rather than emphasize the yield curve, Pierson advises commercial real estate investors to keep an eye on slowing employment growth (see accompanying chart). The 113,000 jobs created in July were below the 124,000 jobs added in June and well below the 145,000 economists had predicted — the fourth straight month that employment gains fell short of expectations.
"That's the thing that could hurt real estate investors the most," Pierson says. "Right now demand is good for most property types, from both a capital perspective and a tenant perspective, but if employment slows down, that puts some of the demand at risk."
With high energy costs, a cooling housing market and the effects of previous Fed rate hikes slowing the economy, commercial real estate developers will slow the pace of new development, says Dana Johnson, chief economist at Comerica Bank in Detroit. "The pricing of loans isn't going to be a problem," however, he says. "Some lenders may become more cautious, but the pricing is going to be pretty attractive."
Even in the event of a recession, economists say there isn't great cause for concern on the real estate front because developers have kept supply in check since the 2001 recession and technology bust. Economist Smith predicts the coming recession will be like its 2001 predecessor, swift and mild, but without the accompanying office glut that resulted from a correction in the technology job market.
"Commercial real estate markets will be very strong for the rest of 2006 and well into 2007, perhaps for the entire year," Smith says. "They'll fall in 2008 and turn back up in 2009 and beyond."

As Buster Posey signs autographs at a team function, a little more on the deal that has likely made Posey a Giant For Life:
The nine-year, $167 million contract is the longest ever for a catcher and is a record deal for a player with fewer than four years of service time. It also easily surpasses Matt Cain's deal as the biggest in franchise history.
The deal includes a full no-trade clause and awards bonuses (he is the MVP, after all), and guarantees a yearly contribution of $50,000 from Posey to Giants charities. Although given that this is a guy who accepted the MVP award from a school fundraiser, you can imagine the total will ultimately be much higher than that.
The yearly figures after a $7 million signing bonus:
2013: $3 million
2014: $10.5 million
2015: $16.5 million
2016: $20 million
2017: $21.4 million
2018: $21.4 million
2019: $21.4 million
2020: $21.4 million
2021: $21.4 million
Club option for 2022: $22 million with $3 million buyout
So if the Giants pick up the option, the deal will have been worth $186 million and Posey will be 35 years old when it ends. A Giant for life? That's as close as you can get with a catcher.
The deal was negotiated by Jeff Berry of CAA Sports, who said: "Buster and the Giants have brought each other mutual success, and this contract reflects Buster's extraordinary accomplishments in just three years in the Major Leagues."
Posey received a standing ovation at the team's annual Play Ball lunch and Larry Baer said: "Buster is well on his way to becoming one of this generation's greatest players. We are all fortunate to be watching this special time in history."
The Giants signed Matt Cain before last year's Play Ball lunch and now have locked up Posey before this year's lunch. Your move, Brandons.

Bae Watch; with Leanne Wood
A key role of an Assembly member is scrutiny of the government, holding them to account. In recent weeks the Party of Wales has given close scrutiny to the Welsh Government on their very controversial hospital centralisation programme, their response to allegations of a cover-up during the original inquiry into child abuse at a number of North Wales care homes, child poverty reduction measures, business rates and attempts to allow an exemption to the smoking ban through the back door.
The Plaid Cymru team contains some diligent scrutinisers and, when we need to be, fierce critics of the Government. However, we are still prepared to find common ground for the good of the country when we can. This was illustrated in November when we struck a deal with the Welsh Government during the budget negotiations. Thanks to Plaid Cymru, £40 million has been secured over two years to create sustainable apprenticeships. This funding has the potential to create up to 10,500 non-engineering apprenticeships, or 8,000 engineering apprenticeships. A further £10m will go towards the creation of a science park by Bangor University, in collaboration with Aberystwyth University. When our economy is struggling more than any other country in the UK and unemployment - particularly youth unemployment - is at an unacceptable level, creating jobs is the top priority for the Party of Wales.
Recently, my party has announced a series of exciting developments which are geared to securing an historic result at the next Assembly elections in 2016. We have proposed the creating the first ever 'Wiki-manifesto' to incorporate ideas from people throughout Wales to create programmes that will transform the country. We have an opportunity to build a new kind of politics in Wales that is creative, social and local and can go some way to overcoming the voter apathy that is blighting our democracy. The participatory approach has proven successful in Latin America and Scandinavia. It has shown how the gap can be bridged between the people and political parties – a gap that seems to widen each year.
We also want to attract would-be election candidates from all walks of life and all corners of the country. Our open-door policy for the Plaid Cymru national register of candidates applies to all elections and a successful application is not dependent on previous political experience. We know we can realise success if we put forward a good team of high calibre candidates who have a belief in a better, fairer, more prosperous Wales that leaves no one behind. If you have a passion for cultivating a country that is able to stand on its own two feet then my party would love to hear from you. See the website here: www.english.plaidcymru.org/stand/
I firmly believe that Plaid Cymru can become the biggest political party in Wales if are determined, work hard and present a positive programme of government to the Welsh public. I have therefore decided to seek nomination for a constituency seat at the next Assembly elections in 2016. The exact seat is a question for another day and will depend upon decisions taken by grassroots members. I announced this at a recent Institute of Welsh Politics lecture at Aberystwyth University. "All politics is local, said Tip O'Neill. In Wales it's two thirds. That's how many of the constituency seats we have to win if we are to achieve our aim of becoming the major party of Wales. Leaders are called leaders for a reason. It is my intention to lead the party in this."
There is much ground to cover and many myths to dispel about my party and its aims between now and 2016, but I believe it is a task we can achieve. We are ambitious for our country and we are determined to break the status quo that is shackling us. A Plaid Cymru government wants to set about transforming Wales' economic fortunes and prospects and lift ourselves out of poverty. Plaid Cymru is needed now more than ever. I will be doing all I can to make sure that is what happens in little over four years' time.
There have been some encouraging signs of progress in recent months. Following on from our stunning success in the Buttrills ward in the Vale of Glamorgan and Llanbedrgoch on Ynys Môn earlier in the summer, we had some encouraging results in the Cardiff South and Penarth Westminster by-election and the Deganwy by-election in Conwy. While neither election saw Plaid Cymru win, we saw considerable swings to the party, which bodes well for the future in these areas. If we can make lots of little steps forward between now and 2016, we could be in a position to break the one-party political dominance of Wales that has lingered for generations.
If any readers are interested in registering on our list of candidates, they can contact the party by calling 029 20472272 or by emailing email@example.com.

Will the Real "Texas Miracle in Education" Please Stand Up? Grade Span Configuration, Achievement, and Expenditure per Pupil.
Bickel, Robert; Howley, Craig; Williams, Tony; Glascock, Catherine
Research across seven very different states has shown that as schools get larger, the average achievement among economically disadvantaged students declines. A traditionally strong argument against smaller schools, however, is that they are too expensive. Large consolidated schools with narrowly specialized grade spans are typically offered as necessary to save money and to meet the needs of different age groups. This paper examines whether the size-by-socioeconomic status interaction effect proves robust across alternative regression model specifications, as it did across different states. It also explores whether the equity gains associated with smaller schools are incompatible with the need to save money. Data were analyzed for 1,001 Texas high schools, including 116 single-unit schools--K-12 schools that are the only school in their district. Analysis with four different regression model specifications consistently found that increased school size was related to increases in achievement-test-score costs associated with economically disadvantaged students. School size was negatively related to expenditure per pupil, but this relationship became increasingly tenuous as size increased, and eventually savings became negligible. In addition, organizational factors, especially as manifest in the distinctive components of the single-unit school, were related to cost reduction. For those interested in balancing expenditure per pupil with achievement-based equity, the best grade-span configuration seems to be a small single-unit school. (Contains 76 references.) (SV)

Experienced Paris-based monitor engineer Laurent Midas has been mixing Christophe Maé's Autumn national arena tour for the first time on a Soundcraft platform, using both a Vi6 and a Vi2.
The sound man has been providing a reference mix for the best-selling French singer's backing band, including drums and bass, two guitarists, a keyboard player and two backing vocals. A fully equipped 96-channel Vi6, provided by French rental company Potar Hurlant, is assigned to the IEM's, with sends to the floor monitors (plus additional mixes for guest performers) from a Vi2 (supplied by Soundcraft's French distributors, SCV Audio).
Growing up in the studio environment and then developing his own home studio, Laurent Midas switched to live sound 15 years ago. He quickly made a niche for himself as a touring monitor engineer, winning a number of prestigious accounts—mostly in Monitor City. "You could say I am specialised in IEM — around 95% of the time I am mixing in-ears … with or without wedges," he says.
Until recently he had been working in a different digital environment—but six months ago he was introduced to Pascal Briam at SCV Audio, and his life changed. Laurent was soon beta testing the latest Soundcraft Vi digital software for the Soundcraft Vi4 and an enlightening visit to Soundcraft HQ in the UK followed.
Not that the sound engineer wasn't already familiar with the operating topology. "Working in studios I became familiar with the Vistonicsâ"¢ interface from using the Studer Vista desks. I encountered the Soundcraft Vi6 four years ago, when the product was first released and was pleased to see that it used the same engine."
"When the software was adapted for the Vi4 it became like a brand new desk for me. I love the quality of the sound — just as I loved that Studer Vista sound."
When Christophe Maé started to experience problems with his previous monitor sound two years ago Laurent was drafted in "to clean up the mix" — and he has remained with France's biggest album seller ever since. "This is probably the biggest tour I have worked on — other than Mylene Farmer in 2009," he declares.
The features of the Vi6 have certainly found favour with Laurent. "Definitely the sound is my first goal — and I'm very happy with this desk. I also love the intuitive Vistonics touch screens and the MADI connection too — giving the ability to work in playback mode for virtual soundchecks.
Other features of the Vi highlighted by Laurent Midas are the 'isolate' channels and parameters — which he says are the most powerful and flexible that he has seen — the Aux VCA, the user-definable layers and the Fader-Glow colour-coded desk design.
Having entered the world of Soundcraft quite late on it seems there is now no turning back. "I now look forward to being able to save sessions which can be used right across the Soundcraft Vi portfolio — on Vi1, Vi2 Vi4 and Vi6 without trouble," he says.
