Using WordPress for your website and blogging

Just a quick share of a video on how to use the Softaculous "one-click" WordPress install option on ezpzhosting.
It could not be simpler!

A quick look at the WordPress you host yourself, rather than the totally free option that is hosted by WordPress (which is even simpler to use, but more limited in what you can do)
To quote the creators:
"WordPress is web software you can use to create a beautiful website or blog. We like to say that WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time."
We could not put it better, to be honest, but then we obviously love working with WordPress too.
But just what can WordPress do and why should you consider working with it for your blog and/or website?
Tomorrow you can read specific ways that WordPress can work for you, but for now, some general ideas:
If you want to be able to update your website when you want to, adding new pages, editing, removing – with WordPress you can. Working well as a content management system (CMS) you can now build your website with WordPress and enjoy all the freedom that goes with managing your own content. Independently.
And for your blog – it's likely to make most sense to own your blog – hosting it yourself on your own domain name with software that can adapt to most things that you might possible want.
WordPress is open source – this means that hundreds of volunteers (yes, really) have given their time and ability to give something that millions of us can enjoy, enabling professional websites and blogs without having to spend the thousands that it would have just a few years ago. WordPress is free – you do not pay anything for the software – it's there for anyone and everyone to download and use.
For your blog WordPress is the ideal solution if you want it to grow with you and if you want to control your content. The free blogging options are useful but be aware that you are not in full control of what might be showing alongside your content – adverts, for instance. And there are limits to what you can do with a free blog – the thousands of extra functions available are only available if you host your own blog.
"But I thought you said WordPress is free?"
Yes, the software is free – but you have to host your software, so will have to sort that out with a reliable host (we charge from £45 per year), and to have your own domain name – which is not expensive (or shouldn't be – we charge £5 for a .co.uk per year).
Then you need to spend time setting it all up, and on regular maintenance. Those wonderful WordPress geeks are constantly improving things for us, and this means we need to update the software when updates are available. This is not hard work and if you join the WordPress update reminder list (see right) we will give you the nod and remind you of the best way to do your updates.
Using WordPress for your website is equally sensible these days. Whatever your business, WordPress can give you a brochure site, an online shop, a photography gallery, sales pages, community portals – most of what you might want, WordPress can do. Really. Tomorrow we'll look at some more specific uses now that we've tempted you…
What are you using WordPress for? Or what would you really like to use it for? Do share…

As WordPress evolves and becomes more efficient, doing more of what we want as standard, it is important to take a look at the plugins you are already using and which of those may no longer be necessary.
One example is the "Exclude from Navigation" that was always invaluable, especially when using WordPress for websites. Now that WordPress has the Menus feature as standard we can instead specify our navigation there (yes, a blog post on how to do this follows next week) – if your theme allows of course (but not to worry if it doesn't as you can still use this plugin).
So – what are our latest plugin recommendations?
There are a number of essential plug-ins that we strongly suggest you install and activate. However, for each task you want taken care of there are several options, so putting together a definitive plugin list is not always that straightforward. There is such a choice now that you can choose the plugin that suits you best, or perhaps those that work best together – sometimes they can fall over each other and cause problems (only install and keep live those plugins you are using and need). So we're not going to be overly specific, but rather encourage you to look for the plugins that will work best for you, your blog/website and for your business. Consider what you want your blog/website to do and look for the plugin (and/or theme) that will do it for you.
Within your Dashboard, go to Plugins, Add New and then Search for what you want.
For instance if you want to use Twitter (and there are different ways to do this – showing your tweets, asking people to Follow you or tweet the post) then search for what you want – i.e. Twitter Stream and see what comes up. There will be a dozen options, which can be daunting, but look for a well-rated plugin, check the Details to see if it is up-to-date and if popular – then Install and test it out.
Don't be afraid to try different plugins, but remember to deactivate and ideally delete those you don't want.
For basics, we do suggest the following:
Spam Filter – an immediate essential. For personal blogs you should just use Akismet as there is no charge, but even for business use, at $5 per month it can be worth it. There are other options – plugins that you can install such as Defensio, which works well and is free for small business use or you might like to consider using Disqus to handle comments while making use of its in-built filter.
Visitor Stats – again there are plenty of options providing us with whatever level of information we want, from the simple Count per Day plugin to one of the Google Analytics options. We install the former as standard now until the blog or website owner knows just how much detail they want. It is simple and offers an immediate overview of what's going on.
Backup – of the many available backup plugins, we would not look at a complete backup solution, such as the WordPress Backup to Dropbox or the Snapshot Backup. either a combination of the WordPress Database Backup and or go with something more complete with the one-stop premium plug-in BackupBuddy, which we now use on all sites because it works a treat. Most will now enable you to backup to Dropbox or to Amazon S3 if you wish, or to simply hold the backup on your server, or email it to you.
Cryptx is still something we include as standard – scrambling any email addresses to avoid harvesting.
And for security the trusty Secure WordPress is as good as anything, combined with common sense processes that should put enough blocks in the way of anyone wanting to do harm to your blog/website.
And offering a level of protection for your content is the WP-Protect plugin – while this won't stop people copying your content entirely, it does put a few blocks in their way.
If you like to write posts in advance or have several authors to herd, the Editorial Calendar is invaluable.
And as for the social media sharing options, well that needs a post of its own. There are many choices beyond the standard Tweetmeme and Facebook Like buttons – some that do the lot in one plugin and others that add individual buttons. The thing to do is keep it simple, don't add things just because you can and they catch your eye – imagine that every plugin has to earn its place within your WordPress.
For contact forms we still like the Contact Form 7 plugin but as ever there are many to choose from, so do take a look at what you can use and do.
And then there are the various Google plugins, as well as for analytics (several strong contenders), there are many that help you integrate Google Maps, Google Ads and more… It is definitely sensible to include a sitemap and the Google XML Sitemaps does a good job of this.
Beyond these – well just about anything you might want to do with your WordPress, there is likely a plugin or 3 that does it for you. Explore and test and have fun!

Temperatures dipped significantly Thursday, and will remain at more seasonable levels through Saturday compared to the first two weeks of November.
Most of the state received measureable amounts of rain and snow Thursday, however southeast Colorado's share was sparse. Temperatures across the area fell into the 20s overnight, and are expected to struggle to reach the 40s Friday. North winds will continue in the 20 to 25 mile-per-hour range Friday, gradually falling to 10 to 15 mph in the afternoon. Overnight lows will be in the mid-teens - some of the coldest temperatures so far this season.
Slightly warmer temperatures are expected Saturday as the high reaches the low to mid-50s, falling to the low 20s overnight.
Sun and mid-60s are forecast for Sunday, marking the start of a week that will vary between the mid-50s and mid-60s through Thanksgiving. Overnight lows are expected to be below freezing for the week.
The potential for more rain and snow returns late Monday, continuing into Tuesday. A 30 percent chance of rain showers is expected between 11:00 p.m. Monday night and 1:00 a.m. Tuesday morning. After 1:00 a.m., any precipitation is expected to switch to snow, which will continue to late morning. Unlike Thursday's storms, little wind is expected.

Adding a Print Rule for Packing Slips or Invoices
You can easily automate the printing of ShipWorks packing slips or invoices using a shipping provider's Printing Output Rules within ShipWorks. This can be useful when you wish to ensure that labels and packing slips or invoices print in sequence for the same order when batch processing labels.
This article will guide you through creating a Printing Output Rule that will automate ShipWorks to print an order's label then packing slip or invoice sequentially.
First Things First
This articles assumes that you are logged into ShipWorks as a user with administrator rights.
If you already have a ShipWorks action configured to print your packing slips or invoices automatically when a label is processed, you may wish to disable this action so that multiple packing slips or invoices are not automatically printed for each order. To do so, click on Manage Actions. Locate the action that controls the printing of your packing slips or invoices and uncheck the box to the left of the action. Then, click Close.
The Process
For this example we will create the Print Rule for USPS. The process is the same for all shipping providers.
1. Click on the Manage tab and then on the Shipping Settings button.
3. Click on USPS (or the provider you need to configure) from the list of shipping providers on the left side of the Shipping Settings screen.
4. Select the Printing tab.
5. Click on the Add Group button. Give the Group a name, like Print Packing Slip / Invoice. Then, click OK.
6. You will now see a new Printing Group. In the new group, click on the blue link If the shipment is in and change it to Always.
7. Click the drop-down menu after print with and select the packing slip or invoice template you wish to automatically print when you process a shipping label.
Your Output Rule should now look like this:
8. Click the Close button. You may be prompted to select the printer to which you would like the packing slip or invoice to print. If so, select the printer and click OK.
That's it. From now on, when you process a shipping label or when you are batch processing labels, ShipWorks will print the shipping label and then the invoice or packing slip sequentially for a single order and then repeat the process for each subsequent processed shipment when batch processing.

Incidents and entries of the like I mentioned above and the one Anand talks about (John Seigenthaler, former editor of USA Today, being implicated in the Kennedy assassinations) should make it clear to anyone that while Wikipedia is a great (and free) encyclopedia, it is not credible enough to be used as a sole research tool. Please note the emphasis on "sole."
Let me elaborate. I like the concept of the wiki and I feel that the idea behind Wikipedia is brilliant.I have found that because it allows virtually anyone to add to and edit an entry, Wikipedia entries usually provide the most comprehensive information about a topic on a single page. Add to it the numerous External links, References available as a part of the entry. Because of its comprehensiveness I link to Wikipedia often and my colleagues and I use it to research a number of topics in the course of our work. However there's always a caveat. Whatever information we choose to use from Wikipedia has to be double-checked against and corroborated by other sources. Since, our organization creates customized e-learning content for others, we have to be doubly sure that the information we are using is authentic. Any mistakes and the organization can attract hefty penalties and lawsuits and a loss of face and credibility. We realize that Wikipedia is comprehensive but we also know that it is flawed and use it accordingly.
A Wikipedia entry thus is a great way to find all (or most of) the information on a topic on a single page. All that a researcher then needs to do is to use the Wikipedia entry as a base and rigorously check the information that it offers. It also helps if the researcher can recognize what part of the entry is factual and what's merely an opinion extrapolated from the facts. Anything even remotely controversial (eg.: John Seigenthaler being implicated in the Kennedy assassinations) is googled thoroughly.
Wikipedia, we've found, is usually very authentic when it comes to entries on technologies and standards, on scientific concepts or anything similar. Its when it is talking about personalities, recent history, war and related events, or current topics that the information might be slanted, sometimes made-up and needs more checking.
I feel, that as long as researchers are aware that Wikipedia is fallible, a Wikipedia entry is a great place to kick-off your research on any topic. The researchers should just be aware that any information on the Wikipedia needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Note: Anand in his post -- Wiki -- A flawed and irresponsible research tool? -- links to a few other blog posts about Wikipedia and its fallibility. Do check these out:
- Changes say it all by Dilip D'Souza
- Wikipediaaah and Wikipediaaah! (Part 2) by T. A. Abinandanan

Clubfoot (congenital talipes equinovarus) is a deformity that is present at birth in about one in every 1,000 children. It occurs in males more often than females, and can affect one or both feet.
The feet of an infant with clubfoot point down and inward. It is not painful, but must be corrected to avoid a lifetime of disability.
Parents can be assured that, in most cases, clubfoot can be effectively treated if it is undertaken as early as possible. Casting of the legs and feet is usually successful, but in some cases surgery may be required.

OfficeMax Inc. (NYSE: OMX) has reported a modest first-quarter profit on a 4% rise in sales. OfficeMax said net income in the quarter totaled $9.8 million, or eight cents a share. In last year's first quarter, OfficeMax reported net income of $63.5 million, or 51 cents a share, which included a cash income tax refund of $57.5 million. Sales at OfficeMax edged up to $1.23 billion from $1.18 billion. OfficeMax CEO Michael Feuer said the company believes its first-quarter results would have been even better had it not been for the negative effects of the war in Iraq and what Mr. Feuer called the accompanying "CNN effect," as people spent more time at home viewing war reports and live action on television. Mr. Feuer said sales since the end of April "have resumed a more robust upward trend, with second-quarter comparable-store sales off to a very strong start, currently running above the double-digit threshold." "We believe that, in part, these recent sales results are reflective of a positive, post-war sales bounce back," Mr. Feuer said. OfficeMax anticipates year-over-year improvement continuing in the second quarter, with same-store sales in the mid single-digit range.

Opened in 2016, Vegan's is, well, a vegan restaurant, but they make a successful effort at offering a little something for everyone. For starters: that terrace. With just room enough for two tables, the view to the Prague castle will charm anyone lucky enough to score a seat. The cozy 15th century interior also ain't bad. As for the food: the menu includes vegan versions of Prague classics, such as vegan svickova, as well as perennial vegan-ified favorites such as burgers, Thai curry and even lasagna. Organic coffee and raw or baked cakes are also on offer. Directly next door is the sister bistro where you can find vegan sandwiches, smoothies and snacks to go.

AHS Adds Competitive Freshmen to the Wrestling Team
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Winter is just around the corner which means Atlantic wrestling is back in full swing. "We are excited as a staff for the new year. We have some returners who have a lot of varsity experience and very high individual goals. We have some new faces that are going to get their opportunity to earn varsity mat time. It should be fun to see the team grow and come together during the season," head Atlantic/CAM wrestling coach Tim Duff said. Who are these new faces, and how are they preparing for this years wrestling season?
The 2017 Atlantic freshman class consisting of Joe Weaver, Steele McLaren, Colin Mullenix, Payton Fewson, Cael Pulido, Bodie Johnson, Collin Clarken and Devin McKay have "a ton of potential," according to middle school wrestling coach Chase Roller. He said, "You'll see a few of them in the varsity line up. Definitely have some state medalists in the group by the time they graduate." He also claims that so far the transition has gone rather smoothly saying, "Right now it's been a fairly smooth transition. Most freshman kids that are wrestling this year didn't play basketball so they were in the wrestling room the first half of the year and got acquainted with Duff's coaching style."
Duff said, "Freshmen have to transition to the physicality of high School wrestling and build stamina to handle the longer length of matches. We are really interested to see how they progress this season." Assistant coach Tucker Weber contributed saying, "Conditioning wise practice is tougher, it gets you in better shape from longer matches."
Practices and wrestling aren't the only hardships the freshman face. Whether cutting weight or not, all of them claim they are trying to eat healthier. No heavy meals, lots of fruits and vegetables, and no candy, pop or any other sugary food.
The freshman wrestling class however find these challenging demands and higher expectations to make the sport fun and enjoyable. "It's pretty good, practices are challenging but fun," Colin Mullenix said. Devin McKay agreed saying, "I like it. It pushes and challenges me."
The coaching staff hopes to maintain a high level of participation out of this freshman class, and are wanting to see them all out on the wrestling mat for 3 more years. Weber said, "I think they're a very good group. We're going to try and get them back out, they have a great opportunity."
You can visit the Atlantic/CAM wrestling website to find out more information on this years team, including schedule, roster, calendar, social media links, link to the Hawkeye Ten website, athletic forms and apparel forms.

How many ways can you send files from your Mac to a remote device and back again? Apple keeps making it easier with features like AirDrop, but that's light stuff, local only, and no heavy lifting or remote access allowed.
For Mac users who need to send files to remote servers you'll need a more robust tool than AirDrop or sneaker net. Here's how to enter the often confusing world of FTP and sFTP and WebDAV file transfers and make some sense of the various protocols and tools you need; all point and click, local to remote and back again.
It's A Yummy App
Having been a long time user of Transmit on the Mac I can tell you that you won't go wrong using it to send and retrieve files from and to your Mac.
This weekend I setup a neighbor's new MacBook and he needed to add FTP capability but balked at the Transmit price tag. My standby is Yummy FTP Pro, with FTP being the protocol you're likely not going to use much (security issues and all that) but instead go for SFTP which is more secure. What you get with Yummy is a rather straightforward utility which makes it easy even for Mac newbies to transfer files to and from remote servers, but with a few professional level bells and whistles.
That makes Yummy FTP a good tool for mirroring files, locally and remotely, and setting up file backup plans. It's as easy as login ID, password, drag and drop. Yummy FTP uses the time honored Local files and Remote files, or Source and Destination, left and right layout on the screen.
The list of features in Yummy FTP that make it a worthy addition to your Mac include Quick Look integration with OS X to you can see both local and remote files without opening up either, support for popular text editors (but there's also a built-in text editor), fast transfers (it's multi-threaded), two-way mirroring, one-way updating, and my favorite– bookmarks.
Most Mac users who use an FTP app have multiple remote websites or servers they need to log into, and Yummy FTP's bookmarks are among the best– plus, they can be synchronized between Macs using Dropbox.
Now, remember those bells and whistles? Yummy has built in scheduling for automatic backups of specific files which means you can mirror files on your Mac somewhere else and not have to do anything to get it done. The scheduling feature alone makes Yummy a better choice than Transmit for many of us. Did I mention FTP Aliases? Easy Peasy. Navigate to a folder on your remote connection, and select FTP Alias from the menu. That makes it even easier to upload files.
The list of features is much longer, of course, and the user interface may not be quite as friendly as the somewhat simpler Transmit is for more money, but there's a 30-day trial option so you can check out the basic features and see why so many Mac users prefer Yummy FTP. It's very 'Mac-like' and just works, which makes using such an ancient file transfer protocol a bit more pleasurable.
UPDATE – I neglected to mention a companion app called Yummy Watcher which, well, for lack of a better term, watches a specific folder on your Mac for changes, and then, when it detects a file has changed, automatically connects to the remote server and uploads the changed files. Cool, huh?

TORONTO — Mike Babcock was not in much of a forthcoming mood on Tuesday.
The Maple Leafs coach gladly discussed several topics after practice at the MasterCard Centre including the impact of Ron Hainsey (large), the confidence that Mitch Marner might take into the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs (good) and the experience that Leo Komarov and Tomas Plekanec bring to the fourth line (crucial).
With Game 1 of the first round against the Boston Bruins looming on Thursday night in Boston, Babcock wasn't as revealing when asked about specifics in the series.
Does Babcock expect Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy to match Patrice Bergeron against Auston Matthews for the games in Boston?
"Well, I got lots of theories about what I expect, (and I'm) just going to keep them to myself and the team and the coaches, how's that?" Babcock said.
Matthews faced the Bruins once during the 2017-18 regular season, and it happened to be the only time in four games the Bruins beat the Leafs. When Matthews did play on Feb. 3 in Boston, Bergeron and Bruins defenceman Zdeno Chara checked Matthews into the ice, making him ineffective.
Take Babcock's non-answer to mean that's exactly what he expects. How Matthews fares against Bergeron could be the tipping point in the series, one way or the other.
And is there a plan to rotate winger Andreas Johnsson in on the fourth line, presumably in the place of Kasperi Kapanen?
"No, this is what I have: I have a lineup to start Game 1, and I just assume everything is going to go good and we're going to win all our games and I'm going to make no changes," Babcock said, tongue in cheek.
The Leafs will practise on Wednesday at the MCC before departing for Boston for Game 1 on Thursday and Game 2 on Saturday.
They're feeling the itch to get going.
"The preparations are a lot of fun," defenceman Morgan Rielly said. "You know you're going to play these guys for the net week and change and you're not going to play anyone else, so you spend more time looking at their lineup, their habits, their power play and penalty kill and you really get to know them and that's fun.
"You like that aspect of it, you like to prepare and it makes it more intense and I think the guys really enjoy that. It is a much different feeling (than the regular season)."

There's something about Alfred and Christmas…December 24, 2010
I wanted to share a few Alfred Hitchcock Christmas Tips with you as the holidays approach. Hopefully they'll cheer you up in this crazy time during the last shopping days.
Alfred's St. Patty's Day TipsMarch 14, 2010
Alfred is back with more advice on how to celebrate St. Patty's Day. I just love this guy.
Alfred's Thanksgiving Turkey TipsNovember 11, 2009
I love Alfred Hitchcock. He reminds me of Tom Lehrer – an innocent gentleman, but when you listen to what he actually says, there's a dark an twisted mind in there. But the style gets me everytime because it's not what is said… it's the realization of what must have happened because of what's left out.
We must have created over 40 bits with Alfred sharing his version of tips on holidays and social gatherings. This one was the first, and one of my favorites. I'll have to put some Christmas tips up next month, but for now, sit back and listen to Al's unique viewpoint. He does have a point.
Raise your hand if you've ever used a typewriter…July 8, 2008
Tom, Pat and Greg write a morning show promo for Greg and the Morning Buzz – 1991
I was talking with my friend Bob, who stumbled upon this clip at the Boffo Yux Dudes Repository at You Tube.
His main point (other than my expanded girth and follicle length) was that we were using an electric typewriter to do the bits. That got me to thinkin' – did the process of manually creating skits without a computer enhance or detract from the creative process?
We did all our station writing on an IBM Selectric. At home, it was a good old Leading Edge LE running 5 1/4″ disks where most of the series material was hatched. But there was something about huddling over a typewriter with a blank sheet at 5 in the morning with people in the other room saying 'Be Funny – Now'!
That got the adrenaline (more…)

Every Parent's Nightmare
by Belinda Hawkins
Belinda Hawkins is a Walkley Award winning journalist who has been involved with ABC TV'S Australian Story for fifteen years.
December 2007. A cold, wintery evening in St Nedelya Square in Sofia Bulgaria a tragedy will shatter two families forever.
There is no happy ending. Backpacking nineteen year old Jock Palfreeman from Sydney's lower North Shore is celebrating the Christmas holidays with two English companions. So too is twenty- year old student Andrei Monov. What happens next is catastrophic. A fight ensues between the students and a group of gypsies. According to Jock, he intervened to help a young 'roma' when the crowd suddenly turned their violence towards him. He took a knife from his boot and Andrei Manov was fatally stabbed. Shortly afterwards all CCTV footage disappeared.
Jock Palfreeman is now serving a twenty year prison term in one of Bulgaria's most notorious jails. However, this harrowing story also covers the emotional journey of Jock's father, Dr Simon Palfreeman, as he struggles to secure justice for his son. The book is a chilling reminder to parents and 'backpackers' that many countries have different standards and systems to those in Australia.
Excellent reportage.

Big plans for an Argentinian expansion for the low-cost Chilean airline JetSMART have been revealed this week.
The airline will expand into Argentina during December this year will ambitions plans for a domestic route network to be introduced by July 2019. JetSMART has applied for an air operator's certificate in Argentina, which should be granted in early next year.
The carrier is bringing new flights connecting Chile and Argentina, from 11th December JetSMART will connect Santiago with Mendoza, followed by Cordoba on 14th December. Then on 17th December, they will start a service between La Serena and Cordoba. Flights between La Serena and Mendoza will launch 18 December. On 2 January, service between Santiago and Buenos Aires El Palomar will begin.
JetSMART operates almost exclusively within Chile, with its fleet of five A32s, although it does have a single international route currently as it also goes to Lima. The airline also plans to have another six by Airbus A320s in early 2019. During the second half of 2019, it will also add eight leased A320neos. The airline will also start to receive its first A320neos from a 70 aircraft order in 2021.
Recently the airline celebrated its first year of operation in Chile, which saw the carrier, transport 1.2 million passengers in those first 12 months, remarkably achieving a market share of 12.7%. "JetSMART has revolutionised air transport in Chile. Thanks to the competition we have introduced, airline ticket prices have fallen more than 35% in this period and the domestic market has grown more than 22%," said Estuardo Ortiz, general manager of JetSMART.

As a kid, I learned HTML through a kid's browser game. Nothing serious, really...
until 10 year old me picked up a VB6 book from the library...
I am located in Montreal. I have traveled to a few places like Asia and Europe, and would love to see more than the island I have been confined in my whole life. Despite it all, I truly love the view my city offers, which you might see in my Photography dedicated webpage.
My main occupation is making websites. I mainly work on PHP and a lot of the new, "buzzy" Javascript Frameworks that the web has in store for us now. I've set up a few websites, and can very well do more, should the opportunity open up.
Oh, I also do play music. Gospel to be precise. I go to church often, so it can be hard to get by me.
Have a look at what I can do in a broad picture.
I worked in a few projects. Here are a few.
So many ways to contact an individual in this era. Here are mine.

Pre Monsoon (Spring) 2008 Report
by Dr Cheryl Tallon (03/04/2008 – 05/05/2008)
Lauren Newcombe and Angus Mitchell were present during my stay (both final year medical students from the UK)
I had a great experience at the post, Chhewang and Kancha making me feel welcome when I arrived. The porter shelter rescue post is in a beautiful, setting enclosed in a valley with breathtaking views of surrounding mountains. Most mornings are calm with beautiful blue skies, a great time to drink Kancha's milk tea in the garden.
I soon began to familiarise myself with the post and was greatly assisted by medical student Lauren who had been there for a number of weeks. Kristen, the doctor who opened the post at the beginning for the season left for a trip to Gokyo and EBC after my arrival.
Patients presented with problems ranging from pyelonephritis, haematemesis, dog bites, and the usual gastroenteritis and altitude related problems.
The post seemed fairly quiet, particularly to the end of the season. Chhewang thought it was an exceptionally quiet season, probably due to the election and the controversy regarding the Chinese/Tibet issue.
Trek to the clinic
I spent one night in Lukla and visited both the Porter's Progress clothing bank and the Lhamu Niquille hospital. The porter's progress was closed when I arrived; however, after trying to speak to a number of shop owners in the street, I was led to the shop which had been opened especially for me! I also spent some time looking around the hospital which is in such a unique setting just outside of the main part of Lukla. It is a superbly clean and well equipped Hospital.
I spent the next day trekking to Namche Bazaar, where I stayed at the Panorama for 2 nights. (This should normally be done in 2 days). The panorama is situated at the top of the horse shoe of Namche. It has a great atmosphere, and I was made very welcome there. I visited Dr Kami whilst I was close to the hospital at Kunde. The hospital is incredibly well respected and used by the local community, and is well worth a visit on your trek up. Dr Kami even got out a few X-rays for my perusal!
I then carried on to Dole, where I spent a night at the Yeti Inn. The owner Urken is extremely well read and we walked up to the post together the next day.
Running the Post
The post is a large L shaped building with the living area and clinic on one side and the porter shelter on the other. The sun room was where I gave the lectures and usually stayed warm until the mid afternoon and the fire was lit around 6pm to keep us all warm during dinner.
Patients would mostly present early or mid morning, which tended to be on waking or on arrival at Machermo. Chhewang was a great help in translating and helping us to learn Nepali. The data from each patient was kept on a hand written sheet, and also on an excel spreadsheet I created. For some reason I was unable to save the data on to the palm. Luckily I had brought my laptop, which worked at high altitude. It was great to have as I was also able to make a computerised record of the drug inventory. There was no issue with having to duplicate the patient information.
The satellite phone was great for making contact with friends and family, and mostly had a great reception. It was also good for sending text messages. Chhewang would keep the phone topped up, and we could pay him per call.
Chhewang organising all the porter stays and educational videos, which seemed to be well received.
The fees of 20 Nep.Rupees introduced last season for the local residents worked to stop people presenting with minor non-urgent ailments, (encouraging them to visit Khunde instead). There was no problem for trekkers to pay the fees for their treatment.
We raise money to help run the post by selling lots of T-shirts, badges and a few first aid books. Trekkers were keen to have their oxygen saturations checked for 100 rupees after the talks, and would often let us 'keep the change' as a donation.
The bedrooms were ample size, however didn't ever get above freezing (even during the day!), so I was glad to bring my 4 season sleeping bag. Kancha would warm water during dinner to fill our hot water bottles!
I felt we did not have enough drugs for the season, infact we had run out of Co-Amoxiclav by my arrival!! It seemed to be difficult to arrange for any drugs to be sent up. There were virtually no donations to the clinic from trekkers, as most people continue on to the Cho La pass and EBC, and understandably need their meds. I do not know the reasons for the low stocks, especially since it had been a quiet season. It was possible to contact the Panorama at Namche Bazaar, who would arrange for a porter to bring medications up with them. I am aware that Co-Amoxiclav is a relatively expensive drug in Nepal, and not sold in Namche.
Kancha's food was incredibly inventive considering what he has to work with. He cooks from a single stove on the kitchen floor. Breakfasts consisted of pancakes, omelettes, porridge, rice pudding, eggs on toast! Lunch was normally potatoes/cheese/pasta type of dish. Supper would be soup with popcorn/ prawn crackers, then a main course. Overall, the food was a delight. I never went hungry and always looked forward to meal times.
Medical Experience
I had a varied experience during my time at the post, seeing a total of 60 patients during 4 weeks. During the whole season 105 patients were seen, approximately half (52) were Nepali. 34% of patients had an altitude related illness; a further 19% had symptoms of gastroenteritis. The other half consisted of a combination of viral/ bacterial respiratory chest infections, soft tissue injuries, corneal abrasions, and various others.
I had only 2 overnight patients during my stay. One patient had been brought from Gokyo on a horse at 8pm with a massive haematemesis; the other patient had severe HACE/HAPE. The patient with haematemesis was managed with warmed saline and antiemetics, and was evacuated the next morning. He made a full recovery I was pleased to hear.
There were 5 helicopter evacuations during the season; amazingly we even managed to evacuate a patient on the day of the Nepali elections which was a triumph in itself!! All the evacuations run smoothly and there were always people around to help.
The afternoon lectures were advertised in the teahouses in the village, although sometimes in a corner, and not very obvious for trekkers to read. We went around the tea houses in the afternoon which increased the numbers coming for the talks. It also gave me an opportunity to make the acquaintance of the local teahouse owners and workers.
Porter Protection
I do not have the final number of porter nights for the post, but it was certainly well used.
During each talk we emphasized the porter protection issues, and overall there seemed to be little awareness of the issues porters were facing. There were very few independent trekkers, most were with large companies. I would always make a point of asking if the trekkers knew where their porters knew where they had slept the night before, and how much wages they earned per day. Most of the trekkers from the commercial groups did not know.
There were still porters sleeping in the cave by the river. One trekker actually stated 'I think they prefer to sleep out, under the stars'!!
There still appears to be no enforcement of the load weight that is carried, and there appeared to be general acceptance to carrying a 'double load' for double pay.
There should be a post lap top, (to be carried in and out by Chhewang, the doctor can then access it on arrival in Nepal). Then information could be carried home and up and down on memory sticks etc. All of the patient and drug info could be put on there, along with the handbook and even volunteers' pictures.
I have made a list of suggestions for the additional clinical items that may be useful in the clinic at the bottom of the drug spreadsheet.
There could be some better posters made for the teahouses advertising the post/ lectures, or even with some altitude sickness information.
I had an unforgettable experience in Nepal. Not only did I get some practical experience of my interest in mountain medicine, but I also got to meet and make lasting friendships with some of the most amazing people, in such a unique setting.
I believe the post is making a positive impact in the Khumbu, not only with the trekkers, but more importantly for the porters who get the benefit of education, shelter and healthcare.

Taiwan: Five things you should know about "motorbike electrification"
04-Dec-2019 by The News LensIn recent years, many countries have actively promoted electrification transportation vehicles, indicating the electrification of vehicles has become a global trend of the future. While the world is promoting electric vehicles, Taiwan's government is also trying to keep up, even proclaiming "banning the sales of gasoline motorbikes by 2035" and actively promoting various electric scooter transformation guidance plans, hoping to lead Taiwan's motorbikes to keep up in line with industrial trends. more information

PI and Vet: Potential Conflict of Interest? Definite Potential for Conflict of InterestJurgus, Maryann; Welsh, Thomas J. (2016-01-08)
Donoghue, S. L. (2006). Institutional Potential for Online Learning: A Hong Kong Case Study. Educational Technology & Society, 9 (4), 78-94. Institutional Potential for Online Learning: A Hong Kong Case StudyThe Pennsylvania State University CiteSeerX Archives; Sue L. Donoghue (2011-06-20)Hong Kong's tertiary education environment has changed dramatically in recent years with universities now facing specific educational challenges in the areas of critical thinking, 'life-long learning ' and English language. The question exists as to what pedagogic developments will best allow the universities to address these challenges. In this paper, the appropriateness of online pedagogy as one response to these challenges is assessed through use of illustrative case-examples and post-course surveys. The potential of The University of Hong Kong (HKU) to implement this pedagogy is examined through a systematic consideration of the requirements for embedding online learning, specifically student and institutional knowledge, culture, and resources. The case examples provide empirical evidence to suggest that online environments are useful in addressing these challenges, largely as a consequence of afforded flexibility in teaching and learning, support of more student-centered learning approaches, and a high degree of student engagement. Opportunity for international collaborative teaching, with associated benefits in curriculum extension, cost-spreading and benchmarking, is also demonstrated. Within HKU, student factors appear to pose no major constraint to such development, but there exist significant inconsistencies in terms of institutional culture, pedagogic knowledge and non-hardware resources. The author concludes that small-scale online developments are viable and the cost of establishing and maintaining these need not be prohibitive. While online learning holds promise for HKU, the University will require internal institutional change to fully realize this potential.

In part 1, I mentioned that art is a big thing in The Philippines. Which is true because during my meeting with one of the biggest players of the arts & crafts suppliers in Malaysia, I was told that a lot of their customers are from Manila.
Solaire Resort was having an art exhibition called The Mona Lisa Project. Well, since I can't go to Europe yet, being able to see the different versions of Mona Lisa recreated by different Filipino artists was just good enough. I am amazed by the representation Mona Lisa created by each artist, because each representations carries a profound meaning.
Go ahead and take a look at the pictures. Oh and there's a shot clip of the place too.

World Cup madness
(Some player trying to run up the side of the picture so he can kick the ball. Courtesy BBC.)
When I was little, I used to love to play soccer. Some of my earliest memories are of kicking a soccer ball with my dad on Saturday afternoons. As I got older, I played quite a few neighborhood pickup games (or should that be kickup?); but I never joined a soccer team, much to the consternation of my mother. Still, I greatly enjoyed the sport, and it was always my favorite game to play during P.E. I never considered myself anything more than decent; my dribbling and passing skills were good, but woe to those who let me try for a goal kick. Even now, years later, I'll gladly jump in to play a friendly game. Although I still enjoy soccer, I never developed a love for the sport as I did for volleyball and baseball.
However, I wouldn't blink an eye if soccer were banned from television. Permanently.
The World Cup has descended upon us, and almost every country save the U.S. is earnestly cheering on their national team. For some, the World Cup is quite literally an obsession; simply witness the rioting taking place all around the world as soccer hooligans express their joy/sorrow/anger/drunkenness by trashing everything around them. Compared to most of Europe, we Americans are extremely placid about the most popular sporting event in the world.
And I ask: Why wouldn't we be? As a televised sport, soccer is extremely boring. I often hear criticisms leveled at baseball: it's too boring, the players aren't really athletes, or the games run too long. I don't deny that baseball is immune from criticism, nor do I say that soccer shouldn't be considered a sport. But for crying out loud, baseball is much more consistently entertaining to watch than soccer will ever be. Soccer may be a "pure" sport, but who really cares? I've watched my fair share of televised soccer matches, and 80% of the time the ball stays in the midfield while the players from both teams perform their patented jog/walk back and forth, as the goalie reads a book or takes a nap or whatever it is that he does while he's waiting for the ball to get closer than a hundred feet from him. You could loop the first ten minutes of the match, and no one would be the wiser.
And while I'm on the subject of soccer itself, why would anyone ever think that it's okay to end a game with a tie? What do people think when two teams run out of time? "Oh, don't worry; we're both winners!" Competitive sports should not have ties- ever. That's simply unacceptable. Ties should be something players wear around their neck when going to parties, not sought-after conclusions to games. Part of the problem is that soccer runs on a clock, as do many sports. But unlike American football or hockey or basketball, overtime could easily run as long as the game itself. I never understood why FIFA didn't mandate shootouts for all tied games; as it stands, only some competitions require this. The World Cup isn't one of them.
The World Cup also has a really weird way of determining the standings for the team brackets. A well-written summary of the United States' chances can be found here; but good luck figuring out why the U.S. needs to be Ghana by more than four points if Italy loses or draws to the Czech Republic. On second thought, has anyone even seen a soccer game where a team scored four points? A game where both teams together scored four points? I think not.
I do feel sorry for those ardent fans of soccer who futilely try to get the rest of the United States to care about "The World's Sport." I just can't bring myself to care enough. However, if a miracle happens and the United States happens to win the World Cup, I'll be cheering as loudly as the rest of the country because that is what Americans do. We don't care about a sport until our national team wins; then we become the biggest fans ever in an attempt to make up for our previous lack of enthusiasm. Witness the Olympics.
Until the United States wins the World Cup, however, I'll be watching football- American football, that is.

When you refer to football and ties..I don't believe the NFL allows ties in regards to a team v team game don't they just goes into overtime? they do have standings ties which are broken through a set of rules, so I'm not sure what you're talking about…or are you refering to football as soccer?
I agree that soccer is very boring. My favorite part of the post is about America's fake interest in some of the boring sports until our team wins. I disagree about the ties. I agree that ties are unacceptable in competitive sports but I see nothing wrong with having a long conclusion to the game. It tests the players endurance. The team that doesn't make the mistake will win. A long OT will show the true winner of the game.
American football (NFL that is) does allow ties after multiple overtimes (which are sudden death). In this event each team gets half a win on their record. To the best of my knowledge this has never happened since 1932.

Back for its fourth consecutive year, Independent Venue Week (23rd to 29th January) will span 120 venues in the UK (check out the list here), supporting the grassroots music scene, offering special shows with local and International artists.
I wrote an editorial piece back in 2015 on how the (all too regular) closure of independent venues damages culture and society as a whole, leaving less outlets for creative public expression and less engagement of the arts in the community.
Music Venue Trust are doing great things in calling for more support of music venues and the appointment of Amy Lamé as London's first Night Czar is certainly a step in the right direction but more needs to be done.
I thought it'd be a great idea to have a conversation with independent venues around the UK to see what Independent Venue Week truly means to them, what is to be expected and the reality of the risks facing music venues the country over.
I had the pleasure of chatting with Mig Schillace (The Louisiana, Bristol), John Davies (Komedia, Bath) and Nick Stewart (Sneaky Pete's, Edinburgh) on the importance of Independent Venue Week. Here's what they said:
|The White Stripes at The Louisiana
Sunny: Straight in. What does Independent Venue Week mean to a venue such as your own?
Mig (Louisiana): For us, it basically means that music venues, regardless of size, support each other and that, through this support we can let the powers that be know how important grass roots venues are for music in the UK.
Over the years we have had the likes of Coldplay, Muse, The White Stripes & Amy Winehouse play The Louisiana and without which, it would have been harder for these acts to grow a fanbase and go on to play bigger venues etc.
IVW also highlights just some of the great acts we have in and around Bristol.
John (Komedia): It's a great opportunity to showcase local, breaking and national acts in what is a traditionally slow month for independent venues.
Nick (Sneaky Pete's): It's a great chance to celebrate what we normally do, putting on great shows, but it's also a great feeling to feel that we have peers across the UK working hard to make shows at grassroots music venues as good as possible.
Sunny: What would you say the biggest risk is for venues? And how do we fight it?
Mig (Louisiana): Biggest risk is lack of financial and legislative support from local / national government. Also, people complaining about noise coming from music venues. 10 years ago we had to sell the family house (we are an independently family run venue) due to noise complaints. The money we made from selling our house covered extensive soundproofing to our live room. Any profits we make go back into the venue. We are constantly trying to improve the sound and making it a better venue for acts that play.
Nick (Sneaky Pete's): Tours are getting shorter and increasingly only metro cities get the shows, however I think having really good quality venues with great programming can buck that trend. If you make live music appealing then audience development is a lot easier, and where you have new audiences for music, the bands will want to play.
John (Komedia): The Internet. Apathy. Devaluation of music. Saturation of small spaces that put on music. An increase in music business academic courses. Increase in popularity in music festivals. I don't know sorry.
|Sneaky Pete's, Edinburgh
Nick (Sneaky Pete's): We find it a bit harder. Having a social media presence (whether you're paying for ads or not) creates a situation where people are surprised if they haven't heard about the latest show, and yet many feel that you've interrupted their social space if you tell them about shows. It's a catch 22. Similarly, people used to search to see what shows are on, but now they expect you to come to them with your listings on whatever platform they choose to use, so you have to cover all of the bases. Just doing listings is a big chunk of a full time job for a staff member here; at least it is if you have as many shows as us!
John (Komedia): It's difficult to get your message through the huge amount of digital communication that is out there. I wonder what would happen if you actually stopped doing any digital promotion.
Mig (Louisiana): Social media has made it a lot easier to promote shows. We still distribute posters and flyers. Social media makes it easier to hit a wider audience.
Sunny: To me, it still feels like we're in a transitional time, trying to make sense of promotion in a social media world. Maybe it's wishful thinking. What changes would you like to see in order to get more support?
Nick (Sneaky Pete's): I'd like to see more government and council grants given to venues. On a city or national level, the strength of a music scene is an advertiser for the quality of life in that place. But more than that, going to see music is part of a life properly lived; music venues that know how to do that best should be given financial help to provide those facilities to citizens. As there are libraries, so there should be music venues.
Mig (Louisiana): We would love to have financial support, whether it is from our local council or arts-based charities. We get none of these. Also, venues need more protection against people who move in next to venues even though they know that they're moving near a music venue. The Government in general needs to understand the income that music in the UK generates and support venues such as us. I read somewhere that the live scene in Bristol generated over £200 million in the year 2015!
|Komedia, Bath
What about you John? What changes would you like to see?
John (Komedia): I wouldn't want any support from the Government. To rely on funding indicates that the need for the space isn't there. There is a bigger picture about society as a whole that needs to be addressed.
Sunny: I totally get that. The behaviour; the mindset. The 'value' of live music.
Okay, finally, what gig of yours, from the last year or two, stands out and what made it so good?
Mig (Louisiana): BBC 6 Music festival which was held Feb 2016 just showed how great Bristol is for live music. All venues that took part were sold out. The festival ran for 3 days and over 2 floors at The Louisiana. It was a great advert for Bristol based artists and showed that they are as good as the national acts we have play The Louisiana.
Nick (Sneaky Pete's): Bob Log III crowdsurfing on a rubber dingy and bouncing against the dancefloor walls here - on only his second tune - has to be a highlight for me.
John (Komedia): Public Image Ltd. Was the stand out for me. It was just great seeing someone who changed the face of music performing at Komedia.
Sunny: Thanks so much to all of you for your time and all the best for your upcoming events.
Make sure you check out local listings to support Independent Venue Week near you. With little to no Government financial help, it is up to us, the music community, to protect and invest in these vital venues who tirelessly support upcoming and established musicians.
As always, please share this post on social media tagging me in where possible. Opening up these conversations about the Music Industry and the Independent Music scene is vital in ensuring its survival. Do your bit, attend a show, bring a friend and support new music. Never take these venues for granted.

In the five days that Food52's design team has been traveling through Europe, we've by no means held back on our consumption of cheese. A slab of barnyard-y Brie for breakfast, Comté by the curlicue to prepare one's belly for more dessert. Snack cheese. Free cheese. Ashy cheese. Cheese.
We had started the journey in Antwerp, where our cheese intake was matched only by our ability to drink the local beer, so by the time we sat down for lunch in the itsy town of Merville, France, a green or three might have been nice. Instead, we were reminded that more is almost always better.
Important life revelation: eating cheese with butter is very good. Thanks France! #f52abroad A photo posted by Amanda Hesser (@amandahesser) on Sep 14, 2016 at 4:57am PDT

As guests that day at the factory where Staub makes all its enameled cast iron cookware, we were treated to a three-course meal (with a view of molten cast iron being dispensed from 30-foot tall furnaces, amongst other visual delights). There were too many moments to count that saw us all gathered together, slack-jaw in amazement at the world we were suddenly privy to.
But our first "can't wait to show it off back home" lesson came with the cheese plate.
Thierry, Head of Development at Staub, was joining us for lunch. After buttering a hunk of bread, he didn't salt it or even eat it—he next slathered it with cheese. Somebody noticed and remarked: Wait—the butter goes under the cheese? Pause. Big smile. Yes! He went on to say that in France, it's actually traditional to eat cheese and bread with butter between them. Intrepidly, skeptically, we followed suit. It's not just good, as you can imagine it being. It's game-changing.
Slipped between bread and cheese slice, a cold smear of butter works magic, lending its melty sweetness and, if you've opted for salted, an even cheesier flavor to the cheese. Cheesier cheese. You've done it, France! Follow suit: On your next cheese plate, drop a knob of butter amongst the boulders. Nobody will be mad about it.
Yes, seeing the cast iron cocottes being made was even more of a revelation than butter-on-cheese—and we'll be sharing all about it in the coming weeks! Follow our trip with the hashtag #f52abroad for more glimpses into our trip!
See what other Food52 readers are saying.
