From last night's College Championship edition of America's Favorite Quiz Show®, Jeopardy!:
The category was "Graphic Novels," and The Surrogates shared the column with such titles as The Photographer and Maus. Young James from Santa Clara University went on to win the evening's contest, a victory that I like to think Brett Weldele and I contributed to. An utterly false assumption, of course, but I like to think it anyway.

McDowell Sonoran Conservancy Summer Lecture Series
Storytelling through Museum and Archival Artifacts
Join the Arizona Historical Society (AHS) in an interactive discussion to learn how to define history and what makes an object "historical", and explore the difference between displaying an historic artifact and using it to tell a good story. AHS, like many museums, has collection vaults and archives full of interesting and priceless artifacts. Each object represents a place and time in history. But what is their value if they aren't shared and how does one adequately tell their history? What challenges are faced by museums to present these rich and wonderful stories of the past? Participants can try their hand at becoming a museum storyteller with sample artifacts.
Presented by: Tawn Downs, Director, Central Division, Arizona Historical Society and Susan Irwin, Director, Library and Archives Division , Arizona Historical Society

Labor Day Weekend Socialization
I was very happy with Lemon this weekend. She took her first boat trip to an outdoor restaurant down at the Ozarks. First, she pranced right onto the boat like she has been taking boat rides every day of her life. She was never nervous or afraid, just stood on the floor, looking over the side at the water below. Fabulous! This was also her first time going to an Ozark restaurant, which tend to be especially crowded and loud on holiday weekends. Again, she did a great job. Tail never stopped wagging. She greeted every person who approached her happily and enthusiastic to recieve pets. It is a relief to have such an outgoing, happy-go-lucky Berner. Hilga is always open to pets, but gets very nervous in new situations. Jackson lets people pet him, but he typically never enjoys touches from strangers. He always looks at me like "mom, who is this person touching me????" Little Lemon goes crazy when anyone approaches, I worry she'll take off in flight her tail is wagging so hard.

Puerto Rico | In action since 2005
Spurred by the island's ongoing economic crisis and overwhelming debt load, our Enactus team in Puerto Rico developed a program to teach entrepreneurial skills to students in public schools. Team members noted the lack of jobs and business opportunities in Puerto Rico as well as a general mindset that encourages many people to seek work with government agencies or corporations rather than in their own businesses. To change that, the team worked with more than 40 entrepreneurs and designed a public-school program to prepare the next generation to bring business ideas to fruition.
Impact(s): 8 new businesses started; 16 jobs created
What's next: In five years, the team believes Possible and its whole entrepreneurial platform will be used not only in all of Puerto Rico but will be replicated and adapted to economic needs in the Caribbean.
This project advances these key Global Goals:
Students involved
Past WC appearances
Faculty advisor(s):
Professor Luz Teresa Martinez
Our proudest moment of the past year:
Seeing all of the houses constructed, painted and occupied by the members of Comunidad Esperanza, Amor y Paz.
Biggest challenge from the past year:
Time management.
Team described in one word:
As a newcomer to Enactus three years ago, Paola says she was shy and lacked confidence— yet she yearned to help others. "[Enactus provided] the perfect opportunity to give back to the communities in my country but also develop myself in character, public speaking and networking to get out of my comfort zone," she says. Since then, she's developed the leadership skills to serve as vice president and manager of the Possible project. "Now I am able to give presentations to new entry students, our teammates and to CEOs of different companies in Puerto Rico," she adds. A marketing/management major, she plans to graduate in May 2018.
More about Paola:
One year ago, Christian heard other Enactus team members discuss the Global Goals for Sustainable Development during a presentation in one of his classes. "It was very inspiring," he says. From there on, I had to be involved in all of the team's initiatives — and I was." Now as team president, he finds it difficult at times to be "the person who guides everyone through the year," adds Christian, a marketing major who plans to graduate in May 2019. "To overcome this challenge, I seek advice from the previous leaders and my mentor."

Hey everyone! I know we're getting closer and closer to Christmas so you know I had to share some of my fab finds with you! Recently I took a trip to Marshalls for a quick look around and I just HAD to pick up a few things.

In the past I have fallen for all of the fabulosity that ISSSS Ciate and I cannot blame anyone buy myself for buying $25 nail polish. As you all MAY or may not know, I stop at nothing when it comes to nail polish (lol). It honestly IS my pride and joy. Judge me, go ahead. Ciate is one of my favorite high end polishes because they alway have something innovative coming out. Whether it has to do with color or texture, they're always bringing something different to the table. This specific color is a beautiful, true white with an opalescent caviar look to it, learn more about it in my latest!
The second thing I picked up was this pretty little jar. The mercury glass look on the bottom is what sold me. I remember seeing it on the shelf, instantly picking it up and falling in love. Now the more that I have it in my house I look at it and I don't LOVE the shape, but I keep it because I'm so in love with the mercury glass mosaic. It's the little things.
This brilliant ideas notebook is just about one of the cutest things I ever did see. It's a huuuuuge notepad thats perfect for my desk and it's just delightful to look at all day long! Even if your desk gets cluttered from the papers falling off all over the place, at least it would be colorful clutter!
Do you guys have any fab finds lately? I just love sharing mine! Send me a tweet and let me know. Also! Do you LOVE the new blog header? I think it's fun to switch it up for Christmas! -Brit.

Looking at Keyword Difficulty – Link Authority is Queen
The amount as well as the quality of internet links from numerous other websites to your website stipulates your Domain Authority and your Page Authority. You can work out the Page Authority along with the Domain Authority of any kind of web page on a website by visiting the web page on Firefox or Chrome with the Moz toolbar enabled and this can help with internet marketing.
Content is asserted to be king in search engine positioning yet web link authority is actually queen. It is pie in the sky to say that if your site has impressive material, it will be positioned near the top of Google for a keyword that you choose. It is a myth because of the fact that it overlooks the power of inbound web links that give authority to your web page – Page Authority – along with domain – Domain Authority.
An accountant in East London may have a remarkable internet site packed with information about tax and employment law advice, due diligence and audit services, however, inbound web links will also be required from associated sites to provide your website with a high Page Authority and Domain Authority.
Total Page Authority of a web page is the total amount of the Page Authority in addition to the Domain Authority. Keyword difficulty determines how strong web pages are on the very first page of Google for a certain keyword. The greatest statistic for keyword difficulty is the typical Total Page Authority of highest web pages.
You can work out the normal Total Page Authority of the pages on the leading page of Google manually by calculating the Page and Domain Authorities of the web pages on the first page of Google for the keyword. If you have a listing of keywords, Keyword SEO Pro will definitely work those numbers out for you.
In the example above, the keyword antiques has a Total Page Authority of 105 and pages that are on SME internet sites hardly ever accomplish a Total Page Authority of more than 85.
Antiques is in the Red Zone and is not likely to be achievable for SME internet sites however, Staffordshire Figures or Blue and White Transfer Ware have a lower TPA and are more likely to be achievable for these smaller sized companies.

Darwin Resolves God Double-booking at Ross (Sidelined Deity Sportingly Assures Perfect Weather)
by matchdayburger
Nudgee College vs. Gregory Terrace; Ross Oval; 24/8/2013
"It seems briefly possible that the uniform he's wearing will burst spontaneously into flames…"
Report by Nicholas Turner
I am at Ross Oval, Nudgee College, at 2pm on a perfect winter Saturday. Today the school is hosting fixtures against its long-ago partitioned Catholic brother, Gregory Terrace. The crowd is keen and in the thousands. The game of choice is rugby. Seated against the picket fence among the visiting side's spectators, I enjoy one of the more ingeniously contrived sights in GPS competition; Nudgee's formidable, blue-blazered student mob in its home grandstand. The razor-sharp cheering from the acoustically megaphoneesque structure – in the unmistakable schoolboy complexion of voices broken and otherwise – is both spine-tinglingly physical and instinctively disconcerting. It sounds and feels like imminent lightning from over here where the visitors sit.
Most schools turn out big crowds for big home games, but the difference here is qualitative; visiting teams and their supporters are subjected to Nudgee's crowd. Heavily subjected, in fact. This oval is known for tormenting its guests – fifty, sixty, seventy point slaughters at this highest of schoolboy levels are common enough. Visitors that do manage to win here never do so by much. For both atmosphere and sheer horticultural precision, this is also the best field in the competition, and today it will chew up the occasionally-plucky Terrace team by a laconic three or four second-half tries that look as inevitable as they are easy once a quick and organised Nudgee backline finally decides to shift into third. The post game mood from the visiting crowd is mild and not-really-bothered. The best analogy I can think of is tossing away a lottery ticket that didn't win.
For the underdogs from the city it all starts well. A few-hundred-strong Terrace student support base is down on one knee to usher its best onto Ross. The chosen fifteen are blessed, the prayer led by an initially innocuous senior who asks God's grace to guide the game's code of fairness and due. The enveloping students cross themselves, repeat the lines, and fall silent, reverent. The drama is good. At that moment, bowed and humble, the Terrace boys embody the good guys, and perhaps right will be done today, perhaps. Aside from history and present standing on the table (Nudgee is 1st after five rounds, Terrace in a logjam for 2nd through 5th), the sporting truth is that you just never know; stranger things happen regularly in this schoolboy competition where just about everything is theatre.
It is now all but silent over here with the guests. Heads are still bowed. When it seems an almost too-reflective mood might have dulled the fifteen young Terrace men who are about to need to be very, very animated, the prayer-leading senior stops mid-stride, gives an awkward stage-frightened sideways glace, and turns from preacher to boy possessed; the pale, bookish, pimple-pocked face washes fierce crimson and out comes a violent and curdling squeal. The senior bounds inhumanly along the tunnel of pubescent lads from which his original sermon was delivered, arms flailing, spitting hellfire and damnation, simply wild. It seems briefly possible that the uniform he's wearing will burst spontaneously into flames. The student mass chants and rises as an enraged clan, the players descend onto the field, brushing past the lonely figure of the senior, finally expired and inconsolable, a husk of a boy. I assume the senior is a formidable drama student but my hapless scepticism has nothing to feed on here; it was beautiful and complex performance, something more than its parts.
I can't make out what's been chanted since the exorcism, but it hardly matters. The point has been well made; a Terrace win would be a desperate, tooth-and-nail, chips-falling-kindly, God-blessed one that may or may not require sacrifice of a serious kind. But as they take the field, it does genuinely seem possible. This faith will turn out to be the highpoint for the black-and-red visitors this afternoon, ranked just above the first-half performance of a well-shoed fly-half and evidence of star-quality in an outside-centre that unfortunately isn't scripted into the conclusion of enough moves in the Terrace playbook. The crimson tide has its share of opportunities to rise, but those moments pass, and Terrace rightly lose.
As for the Nudgee send-out, I'm poorly positioned to comment in detail. It seems more low-key and business like, and more private. The players appear to be paraded before the grandstand of students and nostalgic old-boys like thoroughbreds before a group race. The utterly blazered grandstand at quiet attention, looking down upon the gifted meat. Maybe they salute. The hosts will be fielding a team of big boys – that much is clear enough from the distance. The Nudgee constitution of country lads and Islanders is proven stock for this game and others. The school's incomparable proportion of full-time boarders is also critical; the lives of these campus live-ins, in order of commonality, comprise the following activities and little else; eating, masturbating, sleeping, playing touch or tackle football on one of the schools many fields, and study. Today, having absorbed the first-half pressure of a desperate Terrace attack, it is classic boarding-house football that puts Nudgee beyond reach in a matter of minutes. Quick-hands to find a gigantic looping inside-centre, a spoil of overlaps made by disorganised and overheated defenders, switcheroos, and a set backline move in which the winger gives himself a fifty metre run-up just because he can. These have all been learned by rote, shirtless and barefoot every afternoon and weekend. Where so often in rugby the confusion between game plans and instincts prove terminal, the Nudgee boys always seem to know how to play organically. At least, that's the feeling to watch them hit full stride.
Nudgee don't play a perfect game today, but there are no real problems either. Ultimately they take points without suffering damage, uphold a solid defensive structure, and by so doing preserve themselves better to run a late scoring campaign. There's good players all over the park for them; hooker, fly-half and both centres are stand-outs but a gut-feeling tells me the best might have been unnoticed at the breakdown; loose-forwards, the tradesmen. Clean ball and backline organisation wouldn't come for free against a competent Terrace pack, and Nudgee eventually have a motza of quality possession. There's a perfectly good reason why after sixty minutes of play the blue-and-white backline is as deep as an abyss and their jerseys appear untouched. The system is efficient; the forwards are rightly dirty.
As for those pre-game moments for the eventual winners, I never find out what really goes on over there. Amid the desperate God-fearing theatre of Gregory Terrace I don't hear a single syllable from the other side of the field. I suspect any last-minute instructions are brief and redundant. Something like; get it done.

Houston repipe specialists at Clean Team Plumbing are helping homeowners understand their options when it comes to galvanized pipe replacement and repiping by providing no cost estimates through 12/20/2016
HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwired - September 03, 2016) - Houston repipe plumbers at Clean Team Plumbing have been repiping Houston for almost 20 years. Throughout that time they have built a solid reputation as one of the most respected galvanized pipe replacement and whole house plumbing contractors in the greater Houston area. Clean Team Plumbing is now offering no cost galvanized water pipe replacement and repipe estimates for homeowners in Houston. "We are offering this no cost estimate because many of the houses in Houston are more than 40 years old and a lot of them need repiping because of problems with the existing system," says Brad Mallory, Owner of Clean Team Plumbing.
Houston repiping experts at Clean Team Plumbing say some of the most common signs a home needs a repipe are easy to recognize. Some of the problems include low water pressure or the shower suddenly becoming cold when someone flushes the toilet. "What happens with galvanized pipes is that they rust form the inside out. Over time corrosion builds up inside the pipes that cannot be seen. As the years pass and the corrosion gets worse the water pressure is affected more and more," says Brad. Other problems associated with this corrosion can include high levels of metals and other materials that people don't want in their water.
According to Brad other reasons a Houston repipe may be needed include leaky pipes. "With galvanized pipes that are severely rusted from the inside the homeowner will start to notice pin hole leaks. Depending on where the leaks are located, this water can cause major damage to the structure, especially if left unattended."
Houston galvanized pipe replacement and repiping experts at Clean Team Plumbing want consumers to understand that in most installation galvanized plumbing pipes last up to fifty years, however, locally things are different. "In Houston we have a lot of minerals in the water and we also have chlorination. These things lead to a significantly shorter life span for galvanized pipes in Houston, we usually see original pipes lasting only 20-30 years," says Brad.
Houston repiping experts will perform an in home inspection of a homeowner's current home plumbing system for no cost with this announcement. If they determine that the home is in need of repiping they usually recommend PEX repiping according to Brad. "We are Certified as a Premier Uponor Installer, which manufactures PEX piping. We feel like this is generally the best solution for the problem when it comes to whole house repiping in Houston." According to Brad the PEX piping comes with a 25 year manufacturer's warranty and a 10 year guarantee from Clean Team Plumbing.
In addition to being repipe specialists Clean Team is also a full service Houston plumbing company that handles all types of plumbing service and repairs. "We focus on providing the highest level of service and we stand behind all of our work with a customer satisfaction guarantee. Other than repiping water pipes our secondary focus is Houston tankless water heater installation. They are much greener than tanked units and they really help people save money over time," says Brad.

This page contains a quality checklist for community maintained projects hosted at the Hippo Forge. If your project meets all items in this list, it rocks!
Give your project a name that makes it unique and that explains what it does. If possible, make the name stand out of other projects that do the same thing but in a different way.
Without documentation the plugin doesn't exists! And screenshots rule!
We use GitHub Pages to publish documents from the master/docs folder to a documentation site at https://onehippo-forge.github.io/[project-name]/
To distinct from other plugins, use an artifact group id and Java package that both start with org.onehippo.forge.[project-name]. In the project name only use lowercase letters [a-z].
Use the project pom org.onehippo.cms7:hippo-cms7-project as a parent to the plugin project. It provides a number of standard pom sections and has some basic dependencies defined that are common to all Hippo projects.
The release pom org.onehippo.cms7:hippo-cms7-release is extended from that and defines too much (like standard plugin versions, Cargo configuration) to be used as parent pom. It is meant for implementation (end) projects.
Provide an example demo project within the code as Maven submodule, to demonstrate the functionality.
To the plugin's delivery tier (HST) code, apply our best practices.
Some key point are: use limits on queries, have translatable labels, make smart usage of logging.
If the plugin defines a namespace and that namespace is not intended for editing in the CMS, make sure to hide it. See Hide a Namespace in the CMS editor for how this can be achieved.

If you feel, in whatever way or capacity, the signs are there – then please pick up the phone and seek the advice of a professional. Depression and related issues have claimed several lives over the years, some in the spotlight of fame and fortune and others not.
The recent passing of Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington has brought the spotlight back to the subject again – rightly so. The depression treatment Gold Coast and other cities across the Australia have on offer need to be used. Use the next handful of steps to decide what is the best way to do this.
In person
Make an appointment for treatment – and go there and have it. Take someone in support. Don't just rely on yourself to get through some admittedly hard times. Two heads really can be better than one and, in some cases, three works too.
Over the phone
Do this over the phone. Talk to someone, from a distance, with greater comfort and transparency, perhaps. Dial the numbers you have at hand – the numbers you know will offer a welcoming and understanding voice on the other end. A listening ear is important too, coupled with lips and a tongue willing to offer sound advice and encouragement in return.
Take it slowly
There is no rush, for the most part. Consider, carefully, how you are going to go about this. If you can't take this calmly and with a reasonable amount of due consideration, then have someone step in for you. The person or people who walk this road with you are of the utmost importance. Trust will be key, collectively and individually.
Count the cost, and do it well. Beyond the budget, there is time and emotional expense. This is going to cost you all of those and more – but it will be worth it. Invest the time, invest the effort, invest in yourself. Get around and over this.
Be still
Try keep a cool, calm and collected frame of mind – one that is not overawed by elements beyond your control and other aspects that simply can't be dealt with effectively there and then. Don't dig too deep, find just the right amount of ground to plant your roots into. This will work, soon enough, and stand you in good stead when the time is right.
Surround yourself with loved ones
Hammering home the point here, but to reiterate, don't do it alone – let your mom, your dad, your brother, your sister, whoever you really trust well, in on your fight. They can do this with you. Iron sharpens iron – and when one blade might be dull the other is ready to go. This is the long and the short of it, with substantial discretion required throughout. There will come a happy ending one day – happy enough to keep you smiling on the inside and out. From there, there is ground to be made and a life to lead with great zest and other vitality. That's the crack of the beat of the drum of life.

It takes no massive leap to see how designing a structure and creating a website have a lot in common. Both require organization, a clear plan of action, and a wealth of creative thinking to produce a worthy end result. However, while you may know exactly how to get cracking when planning a new structure, designing your website may leave you scratching your head.
The key elements you'll need are clear with a little thought. You'll want to show off your work with an appropriate portfolio that offers design flexibility and some themes will offer jaw-dropping visuals for those looking for something that will really stand out.
You'll also want a design that matches your brand – so think about running the rule over your contender's font, color, and layout options. While a page builder plugin and a myriad of Google Fonts are nice, if the theme looks good to you right out of the box you'll be up and running a little quicker.
If you're struggling to find a suitable theme, we're here to help! In this collection, we've scoured the web to bring you more than 15 of the best themes for architects the WordPress theme market has to offer!
Multipurpose themes often claim they can cater to all niches – after all, it's an appealing selling point. However, Infinite takes a different tack. Rather than appeal to every niche, this multipurpose theme narrows in on helping creatives – including architects – to produce stunning websites, with no coding skills required.
Infinite offers a custom drag-and-drop page builder, over 20 demo templates, and plenty of customization options. What's more, the bundled Slider Revolution plugin is a popular choice for creating stunning full screen displays of your work.
As for the portfolio section, it will certainly do your work justice. The grid display is clean and prominent, and each individual page offers an almost full screen header, along with a sleek design as you scroll through. The portfolio section stands tall among other themes, and could seal the deal for many.
In conclusion, Infinite comes close to being the ultimate multipurpose theme for creatives. It offers great depth of functionality, and has enough versatility to potentially remain your go-to theme for a long time. Check it out – it could be perfect for you!
MIES is a stunner. It offers the kind of design aesthetic that wouldn't look out of place representing top architecture firms.
That's not to say that it is an overly elaborate theme, because it's not. MIES adopts parallax scrolling, rich imagery and well-utilized dynamic CSS effects to produce a design that appears quite stunning without being overwhelming.
However, its key selling point – a heavy use of imagery – could be its downfall for some. In short, if you do not have a healthy selection of top quality images to draw from, your website could end up looking not nearly as impressive as the MIES demo does. But if you've got the portfolio, this could be the ideal theme for you.
Kalium takes the less-is-more approach to heart with its bold, minimal design. Huge images dominate the pages, with very little text to clutter up the white space. Though designed as a portfolio site for creatives, Kalium is still useful for showcasing business projects and even has a demo just for architects.
Portraying your work in a contemporary, unique setting is easy with Kalium. It comes loaded with layouts, templates, skins, Google Fonts, icon fonts, footer styles and shortcodes. And customization is a breeze with the included Visual Composer plugin. For a fast setup, you also have a one-click demo import option available.
If that wasn't enough, Kalium also provides a variety of hover styles and animation effects in addition to parallax backgrounds. Two slider plugins are included for designing your slideshows and galleries: Revolution Slider and LayerSlider. And don't panic if you have a custom designed font – you can upload that to use with Kalium.
Getting your name and your work out in front of people is easy with social media integration and WPML plugin compatibility, although navigating to your project pages may take a moment as the menu isn't prominently displayed.
All in all, this responsive and retina-ready theme is a fantastic option for showcasing your project portfolio.
Maximizing your budget is a long-standing priority for many creatives. To put it bluntly, the goal is often to get a 5-star look on a Motel 6 budget. Many themes tap into this desire by promising a lot, only to fall short in the end. However, Architekt offers up a worthy contender.
The home page is dominated by a full screen slider, and there are three slider plugins bundled with Architekt: Slider Revolution, Layer Slider, and the developer's own solution. The rest of the layout features a number of easing and fading animations (which all look smooth and refined), and overlapping sections that are becoming commonplace, but are still rare enough to be impressive.
The portfolio feature is quite simple, but its design is in keeping with the rest of the theme's look. Although there are no layout choices available, each individual page can utilize the built-in drag-and-drop page builder to create almost any layout design you wish.
Architekt has balanced flair and functionality in the right way. The animations are measured, the eye-catching elements are used tastefully to enhance the design, and the portfolio focuses on your work rather than flashy graphics. It's a fitting choice for a professional architect, and should be one of your first ports of call.
Any architecture theme worth its salt should establish the same sense of welcoming spaciousness as the structures you're showcasing. You also want to give potential clients a sense of what they could effectively transform a space into, and going with a minimalist theme (such as Oshine) is a perfect way to achieve this.
Although this multipurpose theme isn't exclusively targeted at architects, it does come with four slick architecture layouts to choose from. The bundled Tatsu front-end page builder enables you to instantly view how the changes you make to your site will look. You also have the option to add a number of menu styles, including sliding, overlay, as well as unique 3D types. Video backdrops are also easily implemented through the WordPress dashboard.
What's more, Oshine features over 600 Google Fonts, and is bundled with a selection of premium slider plugins to help enhance the visuals of your site even further.
As with the case with any multipurpose theme, Oshine isn't going to include some of the dedicated features offered by exclusively architecture-focused themes. However, it does have enough to help showcase your services for maximum impact.
There's been a fascination with the Golden Ratio for centuries, with the result of its calculations being found throughout design and nature. That being said, does Ratio fit the pattern, or is it more of an imperfect circle?
With this theme, there's a little bit of a mismatch between the portfolio and gallery pages, and the rest of the design. Starting with the ways to display your work, there are numerous layout choices at your fingertips with six different column, masonry, and Pinterest-style templates on offer. Individual pages also look crisp and elegant with images taking center stage and additional information sitting prominently below.
However, elsewhere Ratio looks a little bland. The different page layouts look a little too business-like for our tastes, and the font size that worked so well in the portfolio looks too small here. Scrolling could be smoother, and header and slider elements are oversized and too prevalent.
It's not that Ratio is a poor theme, just that it's lacking refinement throughout. Nonetheless, it's a solid choice for showcasing your portfolio if you can get past a few rather bland design aspects.
An architectural firm needs to communicate professionalism and reliability – character traits that any prospective client will be looking for.
Fortunately, Arkitek is likely to push people in the right direction. It is somewhat architectural itself; featuring clean, symmetrical lines and crisp colors. It is functional and professional without being too plain, and reflects the brand of an accomplished architectural firm.
Aesthetics aside, Arkitek offers all of the quality features that you would expect from a professional theme shop like ThemeIsle: clean code, cross-browser/device compatability, custom widgets, advanced theme customization options and more. It's definitely one worth considering.
It's a brave developer that looks to marry minimalist and maximalist design techniques in one theme. However, CTHthemes attempt to do just that with Monolit. Unfortunately, the implementation leaves a little to be desired.
There are several home page layouts to choose from including a slider and video header. Each layout can also be used in a one-page array, perfect for landing pages to maximize conversions. Layouts are created using the bundled Visual Composer plugin, and there are snazzy design elements on tap such as overlapping sections – previously difficult to do without flexing a seriously stacked coding bicep.
However, Monolit does have its faults. For a start, there's not only a skinny header bar, but a vertical sidebar too. It hems in the content leaving the whole page feeling a bit cramped, even though the theme is full screen. In addition, the scrolling and parallax effects are entirely overwhelming – there's far too much moving around. If there was ever an example of design flair gone wild purely for its own sake, Monolit is it.
Furthermore, there are only three portfolio templates to choose from, and the implementation is rather basic. What's more, each entry is displayed as a popup, including any additional information. We're just not sure that potential customers were at the forefront of the developers' minds here.
Monolit promised so much. Minimalist techniques coupled with the positives of a busier design sounds exciting. Unfortunately for Monolit, there's far too much focus on style over substance. It's not completely without merit, but in our opinion it would need to have its features seriously pruned by the end user before being pressed into service.
As with any well-designed home, a good theme for architecture or interior design should be welcoming, easy to navigate, and immaculate. As far as we're concerned, Maison achieves this in spades.
The theme features 12 customizable home page options, a number of portfolio layouts (which feature a slick array of hover animations), and an extensive set of predesigned blog templates. With the bundled Visual Composer drag-and-drop page builder plugin, you can create beautiful layouts, catalogues, and single product pages with ease. Maison is also retina-ready, and its content to white space ratio feels well-balanced, meaning the overall look is as smooth as polished marble regardless of the screen size.
If you are looking to sell from your website, Maison includes Twitter and Instagram widgets, and a full gamut of social media icons, letting you share your stunning posts effortlessly and expand your readership.
Overall, Maison is certainly worth considering if you want to give your site an air of sophistication without breaking your budget.
The Architect
As an architect you need your design to let your work speak volumes for you, so you don't have to. The Architect does just that – it merges clean lines and soft colors to elegantly highlight your message and portfolio.
This theme has practically endless color schemes to match your brand. At its core, the main focus is on displaying your project portfolio, although it could be used for more if you're willing to be creative.
The use of white space creates a sense of ease while browsing the site. This is one theme that's easy on the eyes. It's also beautifully responsive and manages to keep the focus on your portfolio even as the screen gets smaller. A great option!
Arctic has a sharp and clean design that is more than suitable for architects and creatives to showcase their work.
This theme is fully responsive and retina-ready, ensuring your current projects will look amazing on virtually any device. Arctic is compatible with the latest WooCommerce options. There are light and dark skins to choose from and you can also select from top or bottom page navigation.
Easily add a slider or full-width videos inside the homepage or on your project pages to showcase your latest designs. You can import the dummy data to get up and running in no time.
If you want to showcase your architecture or interior design business with large, high-definition, well-presented images, Prague is a superb choice. Combining a sleek, minimalist style with plenty of features, it establishes a sheen of professionalism that many other architecture themes lack.
This theme comes with a number of demos, as well as some essential pages (such as an About and Contact page to name just a few). Prague's excellent array of portfolio page layouts are outstanding, with ten options to choose from – including three parallax designs, which add a sense of depth and movement to your site. Whether you want to create before-and-after comparison pictures, a project timeline, or a film strip gallery with big images and minimal text, Prague is well suited to the task.
In addition, the bundled Slider Revolution plugin enables you to display your media in a variety of silky-smooth, eye-catching ways. In addition, this theme gives you the option to add a video backdrop to the home page. In short, you have practically all of the tools you need to create a visually attractive website.
All in all, Prague is more than worth the price tag for crafting attention-grabbing portfolio pages. However, you may want to consider exploring other options if you value creative freedom when creating your layouts.

There are also five custom post types: gallery, portfolio, testimonial, price and personnel. You can use the included video tutorial to help you set up the demo site in no time too.
Grand Portfolio
The name of this theme gives a clue as to its focus. Grand Portfolio, quite simply, does exactly what it says on the tin.
Of course, this theme wouldn't pass muster if it didn't provide a multitude of ways to display your work, and it certainly delivers. There are a wealth of styles to choose from (including grid, masonry, and an OS X-style Cover Flow option), but it's the striped and split screen variations that really impress us. They're not found in many other themes, and it means Grand Portfolio's value skyrockets for those who want a unique, standout portfolio.
What's more, scrolling is very smooth, font choices are legible (although small), and the parallax background effect is one of the better implementations we've seen.
It's clear that a lot of thought has been put into Grand Portfolio's development. It's a theme you can place your trust in for displaying your work, and it's worthy of being added to your shortlist pronto!

Wada's compliance review committee meets in Montreal on Tuesday and is expected to recommend the East African country is declared non-compliant.
The organisation's board is then expected to approve the move on 12 May.
Kenya failed to meet a deadline on 11 February to pass a law establishing a new national anti-doping agency.
Wada then placed it on a 'watch-list' of nations at risk of breaching its code and gave it until 5 April to show it was tackling cheating in sport.
Kenyan lawmakers have held a preliminary reading of a bill criminalising sports doping, but two further hearings and presidential assent are still required.
The country's parliament went on a month-long recess last week without approving the legislation and extra funding, ensuring this latest deadline will be missed.
Once a country is declared Wada non-compliant, the International Olympic Committee – as well as international federations like the IAAF, athletics' world governing body – have the right to ban it from international competition.
With just four months to go before the Rio Olympics start, Russian athletes remain banned after the IAAF suspended the country over systemic doping last year. IAAF president Lord Coe has said he is ready to ban Kenya too if it is declared Wada non-compliant.
Kenya is dominant at distance running and topped the medal table at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing with seven gold medals.
But the country has become mired in doping and bribery allegations.
Since 2011, more than 40 of its athletes have failed drugs tests. Three senior officials at governing body Kenya Athletics have also been suspended following accusations they were involved in corruption linked to Doha's successful bid for the 2019 World Championships.
The officials and the Qatar campaign team deny any wrongdoing.
In February, the Kenyan government said it was taking the threat of doping "very seriously" and has said its newly established national anti-doping organisation would soon be operational.

In addition to the USS Arizona Memorial, you may want to visit the following Pearl Harbor Historic Sites. Tickets and transportation for all three sites can be accessed at the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center.
You can also purchase the Passport to Pearl Harbor, which includes a free USS Arizona Memorial program ticket, the USS Arizona Memorial Narrated Tour, and admission to the USS Battleship Missouri Memorial, the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park, and the Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor. The Passport is "Tour Option 3" on www.recreation.gov.
Pearl Harbor Historic Sites
Battleship Missouri MemorialThe Battleship Missouri, also known as "Mighty Mo" or "Big Mo," is a US Navy battleship named in honor of the state of Missouri. The USS Missouri was the last battleship commissioned by the United States and was the site of the Japanese surrender on Sept 2, 1945, marking the end of WWII. The Battleship Missouri Memorial offers two daily tours, as well as much more to explore at your own pace!
USS Bowfin Submarine Museum and Park
USS Bowfin (SS-287) is a fleet attack submarine that fought in the Pacific during WWII and helped to make famous the term, "Silent Service." Bowfin was launched on Dec. 7, 1942, exactly one year to the day after the attack on Pearl Harbor. She was nicknamed the Pearl Harbor Avenger, so it is fitting that she is permanently homeported at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor
The Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor hosts a variety of aviation exhibits, most directly relating to the Pearl Harbor attack on Dec 7, 1941, and to World War II. The museum, located on Ford Island, occupies two hangars and the Ford Island Control Tower that still bear the scars of our nation's aviation battlefield.

It's also crashing with plain old HD 720 footage as well. As soon as you click on the interface tab, it comes up then freezes and crashes.
any update on this being fixed?
Please hurry up i am doing a project and updater fcpx now i can use plural eyes and final cut won't sort my 6 cameras. So i am stuck until the fix come out 🙁
I am also stuck without plural eyes. New footage is backing up without getting synched. Rooting for you guys! Hope the update comes soon. -Jon
To clarify: I figured out the workaround that doesn't require an xml export from FCP, but when I try to import synced multicam files from Plural Eyes, they are no longer synced. Hope you guys are able to resolve this soon, Plural Eyes is an incredibly necessary tool that I use every day! Thanks for your work! -Jon
Looks like Version 3.3.6 is out and fixes the issue! Thanks RG. FYI Everybody you have to launch the PE App for the update to come through, it won't come through Red Giant Link!

I'm also in the Z2H class, this is Cliff. I plan to take the v5 written next year.
Since our class was rescheduled, I've been labbing all weekend and doing related work projects. I've got a VPN RA deployment and guest wireless project all using ISE to secure the endpoints (4 x ASA 5585's in active/standby pairs or maybe clustering depending on what we learn in the class).
Just got the ASA's and ISE configured with multificator authentication for Cisco Anyconnect as part of the RA deployment. Meeting with engineering team tomorrow to go over design for ISE pushing dACL's to the AC endpoints.
A comment on the ISE switch config. This is optional and not needed for the minimal config you are labbing. I ran into a production issue when a switch stack lost connectivity to the ISE nodes due to a routing issue and the voice vlan stopped working. Traced it to a missing command on the interfaces:
authentication event server dead action authorize voice
After entering this command on the appropriate port ranges and bouncing the ports the voice vlan was restored.
The following command was in place:
authentication event server dead action reinitialize vlan xxx
This enabled workstations to continue functioning on the data vlan xxx, but without the voice authorization command the IP phones stayed in the data vlan.
This is nicely documented in Iris's blog under Radius session timeout in her 802.1x switch config article.
Not sure how relevant this is to the lab exam, but something to keep in mind with respect to designing out a production network and proper placement of ISE nodes (we have 6 in our production environment). I looked ahead into the Vol3 workbook but couldn't find anything related (just MAB'ing and profiling IP phones). I'd like to test this scenario once Piotr has our pods up tho. I was looking at the class topology, and I can shutdown vlan 203 to simulate this issue.
Good luck on your lab prep for December. BTW, what did books did you end up using for the v4.1 written? I saw an earlier post when you were figuring out which books to use.

If the Emmys took place in Westeros, two stars of "Game of Thrones" — Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Peter Dinklage — would be at each others' throats for the title of Drama Supporting Actor.
In such a tight Emmy race this year, there may not be room on the ballot for both of them, so who gets the nomination?
After winning this category two years ago and being nominated last year, Dinklage is the obvious frontrunner to receive another nomination. But when the current third season is viewed as a whole, a case could be made for Coster-Waldau to overtake his co-star at the Emmys.
Emmy judges are suckers for villainous performances (see our photo gallery below), but what they love even more are villains who find redemption. Michael Emerson couldn't win an Emmy for "Lost" until he finally submitted the episode "Dead is Dead" in which his character's actions were redeemed in the eyes of the island's mysterious smoke monster. Might a similar redemptive arc help Coster-Waldau on "Game of Thrones"?
The naysayers out there will say that Coster-Waldau won't get a nomination because he's already been snubbed twice for the role of Jaime Lannister. But as Coster-Waldau freely admitted to our own Matt Noble, he knew when he signed onto the project that his character wouldn't be fully realized until the third year.
"They said from the word go, 'You have some good bits in Season One. In Season Two you're almost not there, it's nothing.'" Coster-Waldau explained. "And then Season Three is the one that, if we get that far, that will be the big pay-off. And so I was hoping that we'd make it to Season Three!"
If Coster-Waldau gets a nomination in this tough race, it may be curtains for Dinklage. A similar fate happened to John Slattery just last year for "Mad Men." He'd been nominated multiple times for his role, when all of a sudden Jared Harris (whose character had the better season) came along and stole his nomination. Like Coster-Waldau, Harris had been with his series for two seasons and was snubbed both times.
Gold Derby's poll of experts, editors and users currently has Dinklage riding high in third place to receive a nomination, while Coster-Waldau rests down in our thirteenth position. Find out if Coster-Waldau can overcome his ranking when Emmy nominations are revealed July 18. The 65th Primetime Emmys will air on CBS Sept. 22

Clinton still tops in Iowa.
Clinton improves in new YG/CBS NH & IA polls
Now with the final 2015 Gubernatorial race in the books, the model actual evened itself out in the end. The model only favored Democrats by 0.9% across the board. Also, with a small sample size, getting 2/3 races called with an average win probability of ~73.3% is spot on. If you have an average win probability of 73% (as I have explained before), you should miss calls in 27/100 races. Therefore, if projecting 50 states +DC next year you have a 73% winner probability on average, you should get (on average) ~13 states wrong. Though the win probability in all reality would be much higher than that due to the number of likely safe states.
This will likely be my final projection for tomorrow's Gubernatorial race. If you go by polls alone, the margin would be 14% in favor of Edwards. The fundamentals of the race pull this one back quite a bit. 30% of the aggregate is composed of an extrapolation of the Jungle Primary results based upon historic trends. This only takes into account a race where things can be considered "typical." This race, however, has been anything but typical. Therefore, the polling aggregate (composes, of course, of 70% of the model) pulls the fundamental projection from 57.43%-42.57% to the margin I am projecting for tomorrow.
Because of the large disparity between fundamentals and polling (not to mention a large standard deviation within the polling margins), the model spits out a 66% win probability for the Democrat, John Bel Edwards.
Edwards maintains edge in Louisiana

|maven2 groovy plugin archetype
|Mon, 21 Nov 2005 10:32:15 GMT
Hi, Thanks to you (i'm just a follower :-), i switch my building scripts from jelly+ant to a better maven 2 build cycle model. maven was on my todo list since a long time, and i must admit that it has overcome my expectations. To help the jelly migration i wrote an archetype for writing quickly groovy plugins. It is based on codehaus' groovy plugin which i transform in a groovy-plugin api. For example the simpler groovy plugin is just a matter of 1. defining and empty class java (just used by maven to bind the plugin to a goal with javadoc annotations) /** * A plugin that execute a groovy script when requested * to achieve the 'test' goal. * * @goal test * @description Test Groovy Mojo */ public class MyMojo extends AbstractMojo { } 2. write a MyMojo.groovy script and put it on the right place 3. mvn install 4. use your groovy script on your with a mvn test:test. With the archetype just do a mvn archetype:create \ -DgroupId=my.maven \ -DpackageName=my.maven.test \ -DartifactId=maven-test-plugin \ -DarchetypeVersion=1.0 \ -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-groovymojo Copy your script to the right place, mvn install and your are done. Perhaps it could be usefull for you, so you can find the sources on a svn repository (the server is not always online: no-ip rulez :-) https://tagloo.no-ip.info/svn/public/maven-groovyplugin-api https://tagloo.no-ip.info/svn/public/maven-archetype-groovymojo Install procedure and usage are explained in an apt doc. I'm dreaming of a cocoon-webapp archetype to start as easily a new webapp based on cocoon with the blocks of my choice. thank you guys, for all this great work on blocks + maven 2. Regards.

7's Wrap
There has been a lot of buzz around the Subbies community since the inaugural Suburban Rugby 7's and this correspondent for one am still on a bit of a high.
We even made the subbies report with reference to the amount of noise that we were supposedly making on Friday night at the Duke, as well as the fact that we were the only side to bring a mascot.
"St Pats Old Boys were crowned Magners Subbies Sevens Champions after defeating Balmain 31-14 in the Cup final. Petersham won the Plate, downing Old Iggies 29-12 in the final, and the tournament's best supported team, the hard-partying Alexandria Dukes, in the semi."
This is the first time that the Dukes have gone up against some of the powerhouses of the Suburban Rugby Competition, and for a 1 team club we held ourselves extremely well, making the semi's. The teams we were playing had the depth to choose from 4 – 6 teams and with a number being paid to play it makes the Semi finals of the competition even sweeter.
Well done lads, it's a great start to the season.

With one wave of their hand, OPEC increased the supply of oil. Thus, the price collapsed.
What can we learn from this? Wall Street expert, Jason Zweig, has a valuable lesson for everyone. Beware herd behavior, and always think contrarian. He writes:
"When the consensus is strong, it's wrong. Between Nov. 4 and 11, more than 900 institutional investors and traders participated in the latest Barclays Global Macro Survey, a poll among clients of the global bank. They predicted, on average, that energy would generate more than a 30% return by the end of March 2015. Barely 5% predicted that the price for Brent crude oil—then about $82 a barrel—would be below $70 at the end of the first quarter of 2015. One in six said it would be $90 to $100." - Jason Zweig, Lessons From Oil's Black Friday

Best Electrical Tester for 120 volts
When an outlet won't work, sometimes your multimeter or other tester will say it should! But the acid test remains running a good old light bulb. This master electrician recommends using such a bulb and socket and not relying so much on electrical testers that are fooled by half-poor connections and phantom voltages.

Got Kids? Vacaville Kid Fest, Sat Oct 6th, Downtown Vacaville, Andrews Park
Vacaville Kid Fest was started in 1999, when an idea was born to create a "Children's Festival", a place where families could come and have a day of activities with their children at very little or no cost, and also have the opportunity to learn about many of the services and resources that were available to children and families. We adopted the theme "For the Child in all of us".
A group of City of Vacaville representatives, ranging from business owners and managers, nonprofit groups and media people were approached with the idea and met it with enthusiasm. And thus, Kid Fest was born.
The first Kid Fest Core Committee consisted of Shauna Manina, Meaghan O'Neill from Vacaville Police Dept., Linnea Dischinger from Vacaville Fire Dept., Todd Grames and Suzanne Green from Community Services Dept., and Reggie Hubbard from Housing & Redevelopment Dept. Other business people from The Reporter, Downtown Vacaville Business Improvement District, and others all committed to the vision of a day of low cost or no cost activities, free resources, and fun.
Our first event in 1999 had 1 stage and 40 booths, with everything from food, crafters and merchandise vendors, a wide range of social service and community nonprofit groups, free children's games and entertainment, bounce houses, and a very strong focus on child safety and health. From the beginning, a large component of the event has been the presence of Vacaville Fire and Police Depts., with their equipment displays, children's fire muster, and safety information.
By 2001, there were 2 stages of entertainment and over 120 booths participating in the event. The committee members have changed over the years, but the event has continued, and become part of the fabric of what makes Vacaville a family oriented community. The focus remains on child and family safety and health.
See more about this wonderful organization at www.VacavilleKidFest.org
See you there!

The New Buzz on Fighting Bugs
CDC Endorses Two Bug Repellents, Offering Options for Consumers Who May Be Averse to DEET
The first new bug repellents to receive government endorsement in decades are opening a fresh line of defense against mosquitoes this summer.
In a significant expansion of bug-avoidance options, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in April recommended two ingredients -- the chemical picaridin and an extract found in lemon eucalyptus -- for personal use. The repellents are now the only options other than the 1950s-era chemical DEET that are recommended by the CDC as effective skin protection against mosquitoes, which...

My students and I have a plethora of diverse, but connected, research projects. The Ehlert lab at Trinity is focused on ecologically based management of invasive plants, with a special focus on Berberis thunbergii, Japanese barberry. Specifically, we're looking at the intersection between Japanese barberry, Ixodes scapularis (the black-legged tick), climate change, and Lyme disease. Forests invaded with Japanese barberry have twice as many ticks as those that aren't; this is associated with the fact that Japanese barberry creates the ideal, humid environment that ticks need to avoid desiccation. Here's a closer look at what we've already completed and are currently investigating in the Ehlert lab:
- Recent ENVS alum, Adam Hammershoy '17 assessed different survey methods of Japanese barberry in Simsbury, CT. Adam specifically used transects and GIS to quantify the extent of invasion at our study site. Along each 50 m transect, Adam utilized a quadrat to count Japanese barberry density and cover. With GIS, Adam downloaded NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) satellite data to map Japanese barberry locations, as you can see below. The NDVI values closely align with the dense shrubbery that we associated with Japanese barberry from Adam's transects.
- Another recent ENVS alumna, Blair Frantz '17 investigated the invasivore movement, specifically as it related to Japanese barberry. The invasivore movement is a means of eradicating invasive species through human consumption. In the past, the fruit of Japanese barberry has been used to make…jam! Blair went to work by first conducting a strong literature review of the invasivore movement and how it became popularized. Next, she spent time in the kitchen! Blair was able to successfully produce jam from Japanese barberry, providing an alternative means of controlling this insidious invader.
- Soon to be ENVS alumna, Corinne Macaulay '18 and I are investigating the role of horses as potential vectors of invasive plant seeds. Corinne and I are interested in this research question because we each have a horse! Horses are able to transport invasive seeds not only through their digestive tract, with seeds ending up in their feces (eek!), but their manes, tails, and fur can also easily transport seeds. We're focusing on the latter for Corinne's research. Corinne started her research by conducting a survey of Intercollege Horse Show Association (IHSA) horseback riders, to learn about their attitudes toward and knowledge of invasive plants. We will be expanding upon the survey by conducting experiments with our own horses and others to investigate how far seeds can travel when attached to their fur.
- Another soon to be alumna, Bailey D'Antonio '18 from the Biology department spent the summer along with Blair Frantz '17 helping me with the Japanese barberry research (see previous blog post!). Bailey will be expanding on this research for her senior thesis in the Biology department, and will be co-advised by Dr. Amber Pitt and I. Specifically, Bailey will be focusing on the effect of microhabitat on black-legged tick abundance on the white-footed mouse, Peromyscus leucopus. White-footed mice are reservoirs of Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. Ticks feed on mice for one of their blood meals, become infected, and move on to their next blood meal – often a human, thereby transmitting Lyme disease. Bailey will accomplish this research by using live-catch traps in the field, and counting tick load on each captured mouse; after counting is complete, the mouse will be released back into the wild. Overall, we hope that Bailey's project sheds light on tick load on white-footed mice in a Japanese barberry infested forest.
