What is the most important thing to remember in a mediation?
If you are like most plaintiffs, you have never been through a personal injury mediation before. You know it's important, but you don't know exactly what is expected of you or what you can really expect from the process. The mediator does not act as a lawyer and therefore does not provide legal advice on the specifics your case, but the mediator is responsible for implementing a process that will give all parties the best opportunity to hear and be heard. What follows here are some of the 'truths' about the mediation process that I have learned over the last fifteen years of being a mediator. I do this here in the hope that providing this information to you in advance will assist you in making the most of your mediation day.
When reading this, remember that mediations are informal processes that are modified to meet the individual needs of the parties at each mediation. What I present here is the general way things unfold. Differences may occur in your particular mediation based on what may be needed at the time.
Mediation is a safe process where the most complete range of settlement options available at the time can be developed and acted upon. This is done by ensuring that everyone
- gets the opportunity to present their perspectives and the information that supports them
- has the opportunity to put all of those perspectives and information together to provide a complete picture of settlement options
- has a private space to make informed decisions about whether or not to accept the best available option
Three reasons:
- all parties to your mediation sign a written contract at the outset agreeing that if it doesn't settle, then nothing that takes place during the mediation will form part of the official court record if your case is litigated.
- Neither the mediator nor anyone else can impose a settlement on the parties. Any agreement reached requires your consent.
- An essential part of my job as mediator is to ensure that you have private time with your counsel to obtain legal advice before making any important decision throughout the process.
The effect of these three elements is that if, at the end of the day, after receiving advice from your lawyer, none of the settlement opportunities presented during the mediation are acceptable to you, you are free to continue with the litigation as if the mediation had never taken place. Nothing that you said during the mediation can be entered into evidence. None of the bargaining positions adopted by you during the mediation continue to be legally binding once the mediation is concluded.
How do parties present their views and the information to support them?
Before the mediation there is usually a lot of information exchanged. Writs are filed, documents are exchanged and oral discoveries are held. Oral discoveries are the formal meetings where the lawyer for the other side asked you questions under oath and your answers were officially recorded and are able to be entered directly as evidence at a trial.
Finally, just ahead of the mediation the parties exchange statements of their positions coming into the mediation. These statements, like all other communications within the mediation environment, and in contrast to all other information developed, are not available for trial.
On the day of the mediation, after you have had a private meeting with your lawyer, and then another with the mediator and your lawyer, you will be part of a larger meeting where the insurance representative and their lawyer will also be present (the joint session).
The two lawyers, yours first and then the one that acts for the insurance company, make opening comments. These are generally to illustrate how, if the matter does not settle through negotiations, each side would approach a trial.
Trials are extremely adversarial processes, so a statement of how one might proceed at trial will often sound adversarial. All that is required of you at this point is to listen carefully. This will help you get some idea of what the trial option would look like.
After the lawyers have finished their opening comments, the insurance representative may make a few comments and ask a few questions. These comments and your answers to the questions may introduce a wider range of options for settlement than may have been indicated by the opening statements.
When answering questions, all that is required of you is to provide your personal perspective on who you are and what has happened to you as a result of the accident event. Speak from the heart. Stick to facts you know first hand. Be as accurate as you can, but take some comfort in knowing that everyone accepts that human memory is not perfect.
Once the joint session is finished the parties physically move to their private rooms (caucus rooms); they shift from communicating directly to sending messages through the mediator; they focus on offers of settlement rather than statements of position.
You will work in private with your lawyer to make informed decisions as each offer is presented.
Sometimes the mediator will participate in those private discussions about what the appropriate response might be. When this occurs, anything the mediator hears remains confidential unless you and your lawyer give the mediator permission to transfer specific information to the other side. Ultimately, the mediator can offer up points for consideration but it is up to you to make decisions, on the advice of your legal counsel.
I recommend that while you don't lose sight of any bottom line position that you may have formulated prior to the mediation, you keep an open mind to the possibilities that may arise at the mediation.
The nature of mediations (and human bargaining in general) is to arrive at a final position in stages. This allows everyone to consider the problem over time and from different angles, and in the context of a narrowing gap in positions. This often means that several offers of settlement will be exchanged before the most realistic option is identified.
Eventually, when your lawyer is confident that the bargaining process has made every safe dollar available for your consideration, control will shift to you. It will be up to you at the end of the day to accept the 'final' offer or to continue with the litigation.
How do the parties move from presenting conflicting information and perspectives to finding a common resolution?
They do this by moving from expectations to objective analysis.
What a claim is worth in the view of the person living a trauma and suffering the loss is never going to be the same as the person who is reading about it under an obligation to pay.
In the beginning of the bargaining, I find that what usually separates the parties in their positions isn't in a variation of the analysis of what will happen at trial but rather what they would like to happen at trial. For all parties, this forms the basis of expectations.
A realistic assessment of trial outcome is achieved when an objective analysis is seriously considered. Objective analysis is simply allowing for the fact that some perspective other than your own has at least some validity.
The chances of resolution improve as all parties make offers that progressively move from expectations to objective analysis. The structure of the mediation, through access to legal advice, a constructive place to share ideas, and a quiet place to think, provides the opportunity for this sort of progression in thinking to occur.
So moving from conflict to resolution requires
- a shedding of expectations in favour of an objective analysis of trial outcome
- taking into account the most complete collection of information and views available
- receiving and listening to legal advice,
- having a quiet place in which to consider options.
Nothing can undo the fact the accident occurred. Money therefore becomes the less than perfect medium through which to address your loss.
In my 44 years in the business of personal injury claims settlement I have never yet met anyone genuinely injured in an accident that would opt for the money over not having had to suffer an injury in the first place. By virtue of that observation I can confidently say that money, in whatever amount, falls short of true compensation.
Additionally, while a settlement will give you some certainty around financial matters and will eliminate the specter of litigation, it won't cure you.
Being part of the process by which the specific amount of money representing settlement is determined can however go a long way towards a healthy resolution of your insurance claim which is an important step in your recovery from your injuries. You can't separate the mind from the body.
The most important part of a settlement is that it be fair and so it helps to understand how fairness may be defined. The best definition of 'fair' in the world of civil litigation that I know is:
what a legally knowledgeable person with no vested interest in the outcome, a judge, might award having heard the evidence in a fair manner, a trial.
Having said that, it's worth noting that trials are highly adversarial procedures involving many human beings including judges, lawyers, expert and lay witnesses and others. As with all things dependent on human interaction, trials are not given to precise calculation. There will almost always be a range of potential outcomes. So fairness is not an absolute.
When negotiating against trial possibilities there are also personal factors that are unique to each set of litigants that also must be taken into consideration. The insurance company also has these considerations, but it is a worthwhile exercise for you to consider these ahead of the mediation from your own personal viewpoint.
In practical terms, there is value to getting the money now as opposed to later. This is the sort of assumption that life insurance companies operate on in reverse.
There is value to a willingness to embrace or avoid risk. This is what a financial adviser might take into consideration when offering clients more or less 'aggressive' approaches to investment options.
There is value to not having to go through the trial of a trial. Some people want their day in court, others see a value in avoiding it.
The settlement value that is practical and fair for you personally then depends on
- the value you personally place on these issues of timeliness, risk tolerance and conflict avoidance
- in the context of an appropriate trial award
How do I know that the mediator is neutral?
While having no power to impose an outcome, the mediator potentially can have a significant impact on the exploration of available options. It's important then that the mediator is neutral. Beyond me just telling you that, there are ways to be assured of my neutrality.
The first is that I have no history with your file, nor do I review the documentation intensively. I have therefore had no opportunity to get lost in the detail nor to become personally entrenched in one view or another.
The only time you will see me in any official capacity on your file is on the day of the mediation. As such I have no agenda for the future.
I am hired by agreement of both parties. Both parties take equal responsibility for the payment of my account. I owe my opportunity to earn income to both parties equally.
I get paid on an hourly basis. This means the amount you settle for has no bearing on the amount I get paid.
I get paid whether you settle or not. I therefore have no financial motivation to push you into a settlement.
What is the most important thing to remember in a mediation?
Money is the medium of settlement of a personal injury claim. Eventually all the information and perspectives boil down to a single number. That number is not about right and wrong. It is no more and no less than an intersection of the ranges of each party's private assessment of what they are willing to accept as an alternative to going to trial. If you find that magic number, it's over. If not, you are able to continue on in the litigation unencumbered.
Again, the views of the injured party and those who read about it under and obligation to pay seldom reconcile. Thankfully, at the end of the day the only thing you have to agree on is a number.

Russia. The difficulty of milk exports
Russia has signed protocols on the supply of dairy products and chicken meat to China. The Ministry of agriculture expects that the first deliveries of dairy products will be carried out this year. "Do Russian producers really want it?" tried to understand The DairyNews.
- We have done a lot to ensure access of agricultural products to the Chinese market. During the visit to China there were reached agreements in accordance with which domestic producers have the prospect of exporting a number of animal products. We expect that the first deliveries will take place this year", – said the Minister of agriculture of Russia Dmitry Patrushev.
In accordance with the documents signed by the Rosselkhoznadzor and the Chief customs department of China, export opportunities appear for Russian poultry farmers, producers of cow, goat and sheep milk, as well as products made of it.
As the head of the Ministry of agriculture of Russia noted, the Chinese market is one of the priorities for the development of domestic exports. The work of the Ministry aimed at ensuring and expanding access of Russian agricultural products to China will continue and will allow increasing significantly the volume of bilateral trade between the countries in the future.
It should be reminded that to start carrying out of deliveries, Russian companies must be registered at the State administration for quality control, inspection and quarantine of the People's Republic of China (AQSIQ). This can be done on the official website: http://ire.eciq.cn/. The registration and approval of the State administration for certification and accreditation of the PRC is also required.
However, these are not all obstacles for carrying out the export of dairy products to China. The most significant is the intense competition with the giants of the dairy market and logistical problems.
Even before Russia imposed the embargo in 2014, China remained a key market for countries exporting dairy products. After the embargo, its role has increased.
It's worth reminding that the target dynamics of exports of dairy products from Russian enterprises according to the Ministry of agriculture, suggests an increase in supplies of the category outside the Russian Federation up to 1.8 million tons (in terms of raw milk) by 2024. According to 2017, exports amounted to 700 thousand tons (in terms of raw milk). The bulk of deliveries are made to the CIS countries – there are exported mainly fermented dairy products, cheeses, cheese products and cottage cheese. One should remember that today Russian enterprises can supply ice cream to China, this product is so popular in China that it is subjected to mass copying. But even taking into account the falsification and copies, the Chinese party is ready to buy dairy products and ice cream in large volumes, exceeding the capabilities of many border enterprises. For the rest of the manufacturers the question of the logistics is not resolved yet.
- It is important to take into account the fact that consumers in our countries differ in taste preferences, peculiarities of perception of products and brands, etc. To succeed in the Chinese market, domestic companies need to study it, and this requires investment. Therefore, in the next two years, the volume of supplies of dairy products to China will be relatively small, she concludes. And only those enterprises that will be able to adapt quickly to new challenges in the growing Chinese market will be able to develop exports to China, taking into account how quickly Chinese companies develop, copy and improve products, - said Marina Petrova, CEO of Petrova Five Consulting in a comment to "Agroinvestor".
Igor Pekhotin, the head of the group "Molochny kit" in an interview with The DairyNews stressed that Chinese businessmen are interested in the Russian dairy products. However, they also see problems with logistics, which significantly reduce the competitiveness of food products. There is a demand in China, said Pekhotin, however, it is worth remembering that there is not so much milk in Russia.
- We are in the center of Russia and from this point of view our area of supply is Sverdlovsk region and the Urals. If we talk about exports, I can say that we are working on the development of this area of the company's activities, but one way or another we are talking about a small share in the total output. I am convinced that it is necessary to export not raw materials from the country but surpluses of products of processing. But today the situation is the opposite: there is a deficit of 25-30% in the region. Therefore, I still do not fully understand what exports can be discussed? Export material number one in Russia now is grain, we have it in excess. The export of products that are not enough means higher prices for such products within the country. And this year in Russia in general prices for dairy products have increased, despite the fact that demand has decreased. The appeared falsified products, - expressed his opinion the head of "Molochny kit".
The Bryansk company "Umalat" is also considering the possibility of exports to China. Today, the manufacturer of soft cheeses exports about 5% of the total production volume.
- China is a very dynamic country in terms of legislation. If we talk about logistic problems, I believe that the state has already done its work in terms of the decision to open the borders. If there is a permit, the rest are managed by the company, including logistics and assortment. The state should give the go-ahead, all the rest are the responsibilities of companies, said Alexey Martynenko, General Director of "Umalat".

Pakistan army sentences 6 Islamic militants to death
ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistani military courts have sentenced six Islamic militants to death on charges including terrorism, murder, suicide bombing and kidnapping for ransom.
Thursday's statement says a seventh suspect was sentenced to life imprisonment. The army did not say where the courts handed down the verdicts or how many trials they involved. Those convicted have the right to appeal.
The death sentences marked the first such rulings by military courts since authorities lifted a moratorium on the death penalty last December, after a Taliban attack at an army run school in Peshawar killed 150 people, mostly children.
Over 50 people, convicted earlier, have been executed during this time.
The Pakistani Taliban, a loose umbrella of several militant groups, have fought the state for over a decade, killing tens of thousands of Pakistanis.

Background Best Free WordPress Template For Affiliate Marketing
Within the past 10 years, I have used a lot of different WordPress topics and have been really disappointed. Up till recently, I had been using MyThemeShop, that was pretty good. However, I had to perform a lot of customization to allow it to perform and operate the way I wanted it to. A couple weeks ago I decided to give GeneratePress a try, and let me just say, it is by far the best WordPress theme I've found in a decade . I was dismissed and am moving all my sites to GeneratePress. I will go into precisely why in my in-depth GeneratePress review below. And if you're wondering, yes I've attempted Genesis, Astra, OceanWP, Avada, X theme, Divi in addition to many other lightweight and thicker multicolored themes. Best Free WordPress Template For Affiliate Marketing
To Get started, Click here to download GeneratePress.
GeneratePress Evaluation
GeneratePress is a free WordPress theme made by Tom Usborne, a developer from Canada. I've really seen it for many years from the WordPress repository. Most of you know that I'm fairly picky when it comes to web performance, so I have a tendency to dismiss everything from the repository. Typically because a lot of stuff on there isn't that good, or not encouraged for long. Nonetheless, in this circumstance, that was a mistake. The theme now has more than half a million downloads, 80,000+ busy matches, with over 500 5-star ratings. So clearly Tom is doing something right here.
I Actually installed the free version of the motif and in a matter of 15 minutes bought the premium version. I could tell right off the bat, the programmer was thinking precisely how I was imagining a theme should work. And I will go into that more below, but let us first look at some of the qualities. I'm going to be covering the superior edition of the theme, since it's worth very penny. Actually, Tom, if you read this and so are visiting Scottsdale, Arizona, java on me.
Super lightweight and quick. Modular design allowing you to enable/disable items you don't want running. This is one of the greatest reasons I adore GeneratePress.
Responsive, looks fantastic across all of the devices.
Schema built-in, for better outcomes in SERPs.
Dramatic integration with all the WordPress Customizer. I haven't been a lover of this customizer previously, but Tom does it correctly.
Compatible with all popular plugins, Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, EDD, BuddyPress, bbPress, and WPML. Great browser support back to IE8.
It also works great with the favorite fast-growing Elementor page builder. If you would like to dive into even more customizations, these are a terrific combo. I have also read that individuals using Beaver Builder have experienced success.
Translation ready.
Font wonderful built in.
Tons of hooks and filters which make it good for developers.
Great active support from the programmer. Normally, 3 updates per month.
The Documentation can be incredible. Besides have good documentation on their site, the theme has been around long enough that what I wholeheartedly throughout the setup procedure was found within a couple of seconds in their own forum.
Going Deep Into GeneratePress
Now it is Time for the fun part! I always test a brand new theme right out of the box without any customizations to see how fast the foundation is. This tells me a great deal of what I can expect by the time that I add everything to it. Running the stock GeneratePress WordPress theme on Kinsta hosting clocked in at a whopping 265 ms load time. I was quite impressed.
One Thing I was worried about with GeneratePress was that the modular design was going to generate a whole lot of big files, but this is not the case. You may tell that Tom literally worked hard on making sure that every record loaded in GeneratePress is as little as possible. With HTTP/2, the amount of files isn't as significant. But the dimensions is! Have a peek at some of the core GeneratePress files below:
/generatepress/css/unsemantic-grid. min.css 2.9 KB
/generatepress/style. css 7.1 KB
/generatepress/css/mobile. min.css 1.6 KB
/generatepress/js/navigation. min.js 1.1 KB
/generatepress/js/dropdown. min.js 1.5 KB
This is a developer that cares about functionality! And I've Seen the same throughout each of the premium add-ons. They're literally as small as possible get them. In reality, Font Awesome is most likely the biggest file contained. And that is not even his. With Font Awesome 5 arriving around the cornerwe can expect this to get smaller too.
The premium add-ons Are setup in what I would call a modular layout. You can activate/deactivate anything you aren't using to guarantee they do not load on your site. As the co-developer of the perfmatters plugin that has a script supervisor built-in, I felt right at home with this. Everything ought to be made this way.
If You're interested, I'm using the following add-ons on this site:
Page Header
No Child Theme Needed
One of The best features of GeneratePress is I no more have to use a Child motif . This makes my life much easier. No more editing my functions.php or header.php files. I will literally update my GeneratePress theme this very minute rather than lose a single customization. The hooks add-on certainly can help make this possible. It allows you to incorporate custom code/PHP everywhere throughout your WordPress site. Best Free WordPress Template For Affiliate Marketing
Other Things I Love About GeneratePress
On every Page/post you have a lot of alternatives. You can change the sidebar design and the footer widgets.
You Can easily swap a page between the default to a full width page, in addition to disable elements.
The WordPress customizer choices is really where GeneratePress really shines! Bear in mind, lots of these choices are permitted from the premium add-ons. I can not show you everything, otherwise, we would be here all day. However, let me show you couple which actually come in handy.
Responsive Columns
Another Plugin I highly recommend grabbing is the free Lightweight Grid Columns. Not to my surprise, this can be made by the exact same programmer as GeneratePress. It allows you a super easy way to add responsive columns to any page or article. Characteristics include:
Desktop grid thickness
Tablet grid width
Mobile grid thickness
Add Customized courses
Add custom inline styles
Equal height columns
Here is An example under:
You May Want to Also grab his amazing WP Show Posts plugin also. See my featured posts on the sidebar of this site? That's using the WP Show Posts plugin. I have it set to display posts from a particular"featured" category. You can also get it show last modified/updated posts, recent posts, etc.. I am using the free version and it works great.
To Begin, Click here to download GeneratePress.
Sections Add-on
The Segments add-in in the premium edition of GeneratePress lets you perform all kinds of things concerning design. Think of it like a webpage builder without the bloat. GeneratePress is certainly not just for blogs! I am in fact utilizing GeneratePress to our ecommerce website (perfmatters.io) that is running Easy Digital Downloads. Feel free to check it out. However, as you can see below, it looks like a site.
Speed Tests
For all those Of you who are regular readers, you probably did not even notice that I changed the entire motif that powers woorkup.com. It only took me about an hour for GeneratePress to mimic my MyThemeShop theme which I had spent annually customizing. Here is a comparison under.
woorkup.com Old MyThemeShop Theme
My old MyThemeShop theme was pretty fast, but I invested a great deal of time customizing it. In fact, I've gotten a lot of emails from you guys asking me to publish all of my customizations. My advice now is, simply get GeneratePress!
woorkup.com New GeneratePress Theme
With the New GeneratePress theme I was able to achieve faster speeds and 600 fewer lines of code! And remember, I don't have a kid theme. Each of the customizations were created with the awesome GP hooks and snippets plugin (both CSS and PHP).
Like the WordPress theme I've working on woorkup? You are in luck. Tom asked if he can make a copy of woorkup to your brand new GeneratePress blog library. I'm happy to let you know that you can now install my woorkup theme on your own GeneratePress website with just a single click! It's known as the Marketer theme. Get started with a great blog layout instantly.
brianjackson.io Old Array Theme's Theme
Additionally, I Moved over my personal site, brianjackson.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I was using a theme from Array Themes. It is a fairly basic minimum site, since I do not use it to get much. As you can see it loaded pretty quickly.
brianjackson.io New GeneratePress Theme
I was Able to replicate the entire look 100% in GeneratePress in under an hour. And since you can view it loads even faster! Amazing. I was able to eliminate a couple plugins which weren't needed due to GP.
forgemedia.io Old Array Theme's Theme
Additionally, I Moved over our business website, forgemedia.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I was using a theme from Array Themes. It is a pretty basic minimal site, as we simply use it to our LLC. As you can see it already loaded pretty fast. Best Free WordPress Template For Affiliate Marketing
forgemedia.io New GeneratePress Theme
I had been Able to again move everything over and get it looking exactly how I needed it in under one hour. And as you can see it loads even faster! Amazing. I managed to eliminate a total of four plugins and it dropped my whole page burden 2x!
I can't express my Excitement about locating GeneratePress and I am moving over all of my sites to it (which includes some EDD e-commerce sites). Once I've got my 9 sites all running in GP without any child themes, my life will be a breeze! The programmer has revived my faith in multi-purpose subjects , which when done the correct way, can actually perform faster.
And The best thing is, I finally have a thousand more options to pick from than I did earlier.
What GeneratePress Is Great For…
GeneratePress Is the ideal option for performance-focused users who want to be able to personalize and control precisely how their site looks.
You Can make GeneratePress perform pretty much anything. And since GeneratePress has a focus on functionality, the site that you build will have a fantastic foundation to make it load fast.
Since Of that, people who assemble WordPress sites for a living love GeneratePress. They will normally pair it with a WordPress page builder and use it for literally any type of website.
But GeneratePress Might Not Be A Good Combination If…
…you Need something which will immediately look perfect from the box.
For Example, if you know you wish to create a fashion blog, you might be happier picking out a market theme that is developed exclusively for trend bloggers.
Even though GeneratePress is becoming a great deal simpler to use, as a result of its pre-built Website Library, GeneratePress still looks very barebones when you first install it.
So To create GeneratePress look how you would like it to, you'll most likely need to go in and personalize things. And while the significant advantage of GeneratePress is how customizable it is, some users, especially casual users, don't like having to make those changes .
GeneratePress Features That Make It Unique
Here Are a few of the particular characteristics that clarify why GeneratePress is so popular.
Lots Of Customization Options In The Real-Time WordPress Customizer
Beyond Functionality, another place where GeneratePress does nicely is its customization choices.
GeneratePress Uses the WordPress Customizer for customization, and this is convenient as you will have the ability to see all of the changes that you create in real time.
The Free variant of GeneratePress provides you decent possibilities, but if you have GeneratePress Premium, you will be able to customize pretty much everything about your site.
For Example, if you go into the Design area, you can configure detailed settings to yourown:
- Header — you can move your header round and change its own styling
- Navigation — GeneratePress gives you two different navigation options, such as sticky menus
- Sidebar design — you can use one or two sidebars
- Blog post layout — like featured image dimensions, metadata, etc..
- Footer layout — just like the number of widgets to add
Likewise, The Typography place lets you control the font to get each and every element on your website, including buttons:
And You also receive a thorough region to control the colour of every single element on your site.
All In all, GeneratePress will give you much more customization choices from the WordPress Customizer compared to most other themes. This amount of detail might be a bit overwhelming if you're a newcomer. But as soon as you understand how the preferences come together, you'll have complete control over how your website looks.
Optimized Performance And Fast Page Load Times
Across All its attributes, GeneratePress consistently includes a focus on exceptional performance and clean code. The entire theme is less than 30 kB, which will be about as little as you are ever going to find for a WordPress theme. Even most other optimized WordPress topics are still 200+ kB. And a few badly coded topics can even exceed 1 MB!
GeneratePress Also has no code dependencies, which helps you avoid the leave blocking error that Google Pagespeed Insights often cites.
Put That together, and you get a superfast-loading theme. How fast? To give you a sense, I conducted a little test.
First, I set up a vacant website using a random popular WordPress.org motif (Envo Magazine). After analyzing its functionality with Pingdom, it:
- Had a performance tier of 77
- Loaded in 1.05 seconds
- Had a page size of 243.9 kB
- Had 15 requests
That's Not bad at all! However, GeneratePress can do better.
Next, I activated GeneratePress on exactly the exact same test site without changing anything else. Here's how GeneratePress failed:
- Had a performance tier of 87, 10 points greater
- Loaded in 666 ms, ~37% faster
- Had a page size of 26.8 kB, ~90% smaller
- Had 9 asks, ~40% less
If You perform that same test with other themes, you are going to continue to see that GeneratePress is one of those fastest-loading WordPress topics in life. Best Free WordPress Template For Affiliate Marketing
Other Useful Premium Extensions, Plus Much Modular Approach
Beyond Giving you more design controls from the WordPress Customizer, GeneratePress Premium comes with a lot of other helpful features such as:
- Elements — a unique feature which allows you create customized hooks, page headers, or layout templates.
- Page Header — lets you create a unique page header on a per-page basis.
- Sections — that is kind of like lightweight page construction. It permits you to create separate"sections" onto a page, each with their own design and column settings.
To Remain lightweight, GeneratePress also provides you a modular port where you could select and choose what characteristics you would like to trigger.
That Way, you do not need to slow down your site for a feature which you're never going to use.
Pre-Made Starter Sites Make It Easier To Design Your Site
In The last, you needed to build GeneratePress websites from a blank canvas no matter what, which made the theme difficult for casual users to set up.
Earlier In 2018, however, the programmer added a new Site Library feature for GeneratePress Premium users that allows you easily import any among those 25+ pre-built demonstration websites .
You Can import them directly from the WordPress dashboard.
Yes — this site still uses GeneratePress! All I did was click on a couple buttons to import a demo site.
Page-Level Settings Provide You Comprehensive Control Over Every Bit Of Content
With Most themes, every post and page will use the very same configurations for the most part. You might have some custom formats or templates — however you do not have very much control beyond that.
GeneratePress Changes that by giving you a new Layout meta name box for each and every post and page:
You Can utilize this meta box to:
- Change how many sidebars your website uses, or the sidebar orientation (such as changing the sidebar from right to left)
- Choose the number of footer widgets to utilize
- Disable certain elements, such as your header, navigation menu, post featured picture, post title, or footer
- Produce a special"container" to your own page builder
Where These controls are the most useful is if you're using a WordPress page builder.
By Disabling certain components, you're able to create the proper baseline for your page builder design, making it effortless to create custom articles as needed. Best Free WordPress Template For Affiliate Marketing
GeneratePress Replies: Affordable And Works On Unlimited Sites
The Heart GeneratePress motif is available for free at WordPress.org.
That said, If you're serious about utilizing GeneratePress, I believe you should purchase the GeneratePress Premium plugin, as that's what produces the theme so flexible. The free version doesn't give you almost as numerous settings from the WordPress Customizer. And you will also miss out on the premade Site Library.
GeneratePress Premium is also still quite affordable. It costs just $39.95, which gives you use on unlimited sites. You'll also get a 40% discount if you would like to renew to continue receiving support and upgrades after the first year (you can, obviously, continue using GeneratePress following the initial year without beating — you just won't receive any more upgrades ).
When You consider the typical premium WordPress theme will usually cost around $60, GeneratePress offers a great value.
As I mentioned, I do not believe GeneratePress is for everyone.
If You want a niche-specific theme, you can probably save time by buying a theme that satisfies your requirements for your market out of day one.
However, If you're willing to spend time altering settings, GeneratePress' mode controls give you the flexibility to flip it into any type of WordPress website. Or, you might even have the ability to find a starter website that fulfills your needs to save some time.
Additionally, It is one of the fastest-loading WordPress topics that you will find. Therefore, if you're seeking the best performance possible, using GeneratePress as your WordPress site's foundation is a great decision.
If You combine it with fast-loading hosting, you should have no difficulty making your website load in under one minute. Best Free WordPress Template For Affiliate Marketing

WEDNESDAY, June 20, 2007 (HealthDay News) -- Twice as many American women than men are suffering strokes in middle age, a new study shows.
The trend may be largely due to increases in heart disease and weight gain among women, according to the report in the June 20 online edition of Neurology.
"In the age range of 45 to 54, women were more than twice as likely to report having had a stroke," said lead author Dr. Amytis Towfighi, of the Stroke Center and department of neurology at the University of California, Los Angeles.
The study also looked at what factors could be contributing to this increase in women having strokes. "We found that the independent predictors of stroke in women of that age group were coronary artery disease and waist circumference," Towfighi said.
The researchers also found that women have a steeper rise than men in several factors for heart disease and stroke, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
"For example, while men's blood pressure raises four to five points each year in the mid-life years, women's blood pressure increases by eight to 10 points," Towfighi said.
In its study, the UCLA team collected data on 17,000 American women and men involved in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Among these adults, 606 reported having had a stroke.
The researchers found that women 45 to 54 years old were more than twice as likely as men in the same age group to have had a stroke. There were no differences in stroke rates found in the 35-to-44 and the 55-to-64 age groups, they noted.
Towfighi's group also found a greater than expected stroke rate among older middle-aged men. Men 55 to 64 were three times more likely than men 45 to 54 to have had a stroke. The reasons for this finding aren't yet clear, Towfighi said.
Medical care discrepancies may be driving much of the stroke "gender gap," Towfighi said. "Risk factors for women are not being as adequately controlled in middle-aged women," she said. "This might be because these women were not perceived to be at high risk for stroke, and also, a lack of awareness of controlling risk factors by women and primary-care physicians."
One expert was intrigued by the findings.
"These data certainly question what we previously thought of as fact -- that middle-aged men, simply by being men, are at greater risk of stroke," said Dr. Emil Matarese, spokesman for the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association and director of the Stroke Center at Saint Mary Medical Center in Langhorne, Penn. "But there is not enough data here to explain that disparity," he added.
However, stroke among middle-aged women is becoming a bigger problem as the society ages, Matarese said. "This is going to become a greater health-care crisis in our country with more women suffering strokes as they age than in the past," he said.
Matarese noted that other factors may boost the risk of stroke among middle-aged women, including reduced estrogen production, use of hormone replacement therapy and oral contraceptives, and an increase in migraines.
"This is a wake-up call for the health care community, regardless of whether the statistics here are adequate to make long term conclusions," Matarese said. "This is a wakeup call to start looking at women in a more aggressive manner and to start reducing their risk of heart attack and stroke."

Building a Successful Internship Program
Internships are an opportunity to identify and evaluate potential full-time hires for your organization. Building a structured internship program will provide the opportunity for your firm to recruit talented students and provide a flexible, cost-effective labor force without a long-term commitment. Providing good internship experiences can increase your company's visibility when the intern returns to his/her school. An internship program should be considered a critical marketing tool to recruit and retain talented Construction Management (CM) and Construction Engineering (CE) graduates.wr
But successful internship programs don't just happen out of good intentions and hoping for the best. Contractors need to plan them like they plan everything else in their business. Professor Mostafa Khattab, Head of the Construction Management Department at Colorado State University and a Faculty Advisor to MCERF's Board of Trustees, has written a white paper entitled Building a Successful Internship Program to help you do just that. MCERF President Mark Rogers is asking every contractor who plans to hire an intern and to apply for an MCERF internship grant to read this short paper and make sure their intership program is designed for success.

Gary Kittle exaggerated leg injury after ladder fall
A man was handed a 12-month custodial sentence last week for trying to defraud insurer QBE of £300,000.
Gary Kittle was prosecuted under the Fraud Act 2006 after it emerged he had exaggerated his level of injury and incapacity after falling from a ladder in November 2008 while working for a company insured by QBE.
QBE said that Kittle's employers' liability claim seemed at first to be a straightforward leg fracture, so when Kittle alleged significant incapacity and claimed £300,000 the insurer decided to investigate further.
Kittle had asserted that he had not worked since the accident and that he was unable to climb ladders, preventing his return to his pre-accident job or any other form of work.
According to QBE, surveillance evidence showed Kittle had exaggerated his claim and so the company decided to proceed with a private prosecution.
The case was heard on 2 October at Guildford Crown Court, when Kittle pleaded guilty to attempting to defraud QBE.
QBE director of casualty Matt Lacy said: "Insurance fraud, once the exclusive domain of personal motor, is now on the increase in employers' liability.
"This latest case comes on the back of other well-publicised attempts to defraud our clients and QBE of substantial amounts of money.
"The continued success of our Special Investigations Unit underlines their experience to identify attempts to defraud and a dedication over the long term to collate all available evidence and bring the perpetrators to justice."

The Blue Bedspread
- Book
Over the course of one unusually hot December night in Calcutta, an unnamed narrator transcribes his history with a sense of urgency for a newborn girl: She is the daughter of his sister, who has just died in childbirth, and in the morning the child will be adopted. The quiet tone of Raj Kamal Jah's debut novel The Blue Bedspread, underscored by spare language reminiscent of a Raymond Carver story, packs a deceptive punch, unflinchingly delineating the familial turbulence raging just below the veneer of daily life. As if to heighten the chilly atmosphere, this tale of alcoholism and violence unfolds during the darkest, loneliest nocturnal hours, when "every sound gets magnified, every ear gets sharper." B+

Before the fun and games on the lake we toured our good friends' gorgeous new home they'd just built on 5-acres near the Lake. As we picked our way through tall grasses, wildflowers and rocky ground, my host pointed out some local wild treasures and by the end of my trip after a couple more jaunts around the property, I came home loaded with a big bag of booty! Goat's hair moss, ponderosa pine needles, lodge pole pine branches, seed pods, dried baby wildflower bouquets and my favorite find, a wild turkey feather!
I've always loved picking out something from nature and brining it home like a shell or a pebble or a beautiful piece of wood that nature has rendered perfect. Now I'm beginning to use all those treasures I find! So now, every time I visit a new place I can create a new face weaving in fond memories of friends and locales while I'm working.
Well, time for me to go dig through my goodie bags from ID and find my next doll!

The melt crystallizer is a method of separating and purifying the material according to the solidification point between the separating substances. The operation temperature is near the melting point of the material. The material can be purified by two steps of crystallization and sweating. The melt crystallizer is mainly used in the purification process of high purity organic and inorganic products.
During the crystallization process, the material is evenly distributed on the inner wall of each heat exchange tube through a precision distributor. Because of the cooling effect, the crystal on the inner wall of the tube is formed continuously. Then, the crystal is slowly heated and the impurity can be discharged so that the product can be purified.
Melting crystallization process has many advantages, such as simple operation, low energy consumption, no chemical addition, no waste water, less equipment investment and so on.
Mainly used for the separation and purification of organic compounds, especially for the separation and purification of eutectic and solid solution, such as acrylic acid, anthracene, benzoic acid, bisphenol A, Croton acid, two chloro phenol, two chloro nitrobenzene, xylene, biphenyl, chloroacetic acid, two methyl naphthalene and so on.

Staying on top of everything that happens as the season progresses is daunting for even the most energetic and passionate of soccer fans, so you may be forgiven for letting the occasional detail slip through the crack as this 9 month drama unfolds before our very eyes. This three-part roundup can serve to inform you (or remind you if you are a seasoned veteran) of all the major plot-lines that have come to pass since last August and will set the stage for the critical games and trophies that have yet to be won.

Disappointments and Cups
|View Part #3 – Relegation and Roundup
Where will the title go in 2018-19?
Unless you have been completely derelict in your duties as a fan you will be extremely aware that there have been two primary, dominant forces in the Premier League this season. Last year's runaway train and expensively assembled Manchester City have been fighting tooth and nail this season to compete with the surprisingly impressive Liverpool squad that has been put together by Jurgen Klopp over the past 3 and 1/2 years. Most pundits predicted that Liverpool would improve on last season's 4th place finish and 75 points, due to some solid additions to weak areas (like Fabinho and Alisson Becker), but most pundits also assumed the strength of Manchester City's almost immaculate squad would be too much for any competitor to match over the course of the season.
Out of ESPNFC's 44 writers, 34 of them predicted that Liverpool would finish in the runner's up spot to Manchester City. In comparison, 40 of them predicted that Manchester City would successfully defend their crown. So what does that tell us? A majority of analysts expected these two teams to be slugging it out for the title and the majority of those same analysts expect Manchester City to get the job done down the stretch.
Making a prediction at this point in the season is almost as difficult as making one before the season began given the tightness of the table at the moment, but the betting man (or woman) would still place their money on Manchester City taking the league title.
I am a Liverpool fan, and I am still making this prediction for a few reasons. First, Manchester City have the best starting 11 and the best bench of any club in the league. Few clubs in world football can regularly keep players like Gabriel Jesus, Leroy Sane and Riyad Mahrez on the bench. Oh, and there is the small matter of Kevin de Bruyne returning to full fitness after an injury hit campaign. This depth will be critical as Manchester City look likely to compete and progress in the FA Cup and Champions League.
Similarly and secondly, the rigors of multiple competitions have been slightly offset by some fortuitous draws in various competitions. They could have faced either Tottenham or Chelsea in a competitive two-legged EFL Cup semi-final, but instead they received the comfort of a 10-0 aggregate win against League 1's Burton Albion. They were also given the kindest available draw for the last 16 of the Champions League when they were pitted against Bundesliga strugglers Schalke. As the old adage goes, you can only beat what is put in front of you, but every ounce of strength that can be saved by this squad will serve them well in the last few games of the season. Their upcoming FA Cup quarter final at Swansea City will likely not cause them to lose much sleep when they could have been drawn against 5 other Premier League sides that included Manchester United. All seems to be falling into place nicely.
Lastly, Liverpool has a fairly notable recent history of coming up short in important matches. Within the last decade alone they have managed to lose an EFL Cup Final, an FA Cup Final, a Europa League Final, a Champions League Final and two league titles which they were well placed to win.
The 10 years also tells us that the team to be on top of the table at Christmas will win the league 80% of the time. The only two failures? Liverpool in 2008-09 and Liverpool in 2013-14. While this may be purely coincidental, it is important to recognize the title drought that Liverpool have endured and the palpable anxiety and tension that courses through the fans and players when they get so close to something that they have wanted for so long.
A 29-year wait is almost unthinkable for a club that has been used to much historical success both domestically and on the continent, but here we are. 29 years have passed and this current squad has the responsibility of getting the proverbial monkey off their backs. It will undoubtedly weigh heavily on them between now and the end of the season. Manchester City don't have the same pressure, and are fronted by the serial winner that is Pep Guardiola.
There are a few key games coming up that will go quite a long way to determining which of these two clubs will win the title.
Liverpool start with a massive away trip to cross-town rivals Everton on Sunday. It's safe to say that Liverpool relied on quite a bit of luck (and some downright ridiculous goalkeeping from Jordan Pickford) to take all 3 points when these teams met at Anfield, and Everton will be buoyed by how close the game was while being extremely motivated to ruin Liverpool's title challenge. There is very little better than destroying your biggest rival's chances for success.
Other than the Everton match, the two biggest domestic games on Liverpool's schedule will be the home games against Chelsea and Tottenham. Neither looks an easy proposition, but Liverpool will hope they can turn their dominant home form into 3 points against both sides.
City also have the prospect of a home clash with Tottenham and a tricky away game at rivals Manchester United. Will any of City's remaining games concern them? Probably not, but they will be wary of the loss United inflicted upon them last season when the title could have been sealed. This year, however, they have been extremely impressive against the top 6 sides and actually have been more likely to drop points when they play lesser sides in the midst of fixture congestion.
Who will win? Manchester City. Manchester City will win and I predict we will see a record number of points for a team that finishes 2nd. Liverpool's title drought will go on at least a little longer.

July 26, 2013, Lyon, France (ISN) – Two more gold medals for Canada today at the 2013 International Paralympic Committee (IPC) Athletics World Championship. Brent Lakatos of Dorval, Que., stepped on the podium for his fourth time this week; Michelle Stilwell of Nanoose Bay, B.C., won her second gold.
Brent Lakatos did it again today winning gold in the T53 wheelchair 100-metres race with a new Canadian and Championship record of 14.51 seconds. Brent won medals in all four of his individual races this week at the IPC World Championship; three gold (100m, 200m, 400m) and a silver (800m). "I wanted to change some things up after London (Paralympic Games)", explains Brent. He adds; "I wasn't content with just getting silvers and wanted to get golds; everything I have done is paying off!"
Michelle Stilwell captured a gold medal today in the T52 wheelchair 100-metres. Crossing the line in 20.45 seconds Michelle claimed her second gold medal of this Championship winning the T52 800-metres yesterday in a World record time. "Any day you get to put on the Canadian singlet (or jersey) and represent your country is a good day", comments Michelle. She has one event left racing in the T52 200-metres tomorrow.
The men's T44 ambulatory final saw Jackie Marciano of Halifax, N.S., clock a Canadian record over 400-metres of 53.22 seconds; enough for a fifth place finish. The gold was won by Brazil's Alan F. Oliveira in a Championship record of 48.58 seconds.
In the men's T54 wheelchair 1500-metres final Josh Cassidy of Ottawa, Ont., finished in seventh clocking in 3:10.04. Sherbrooke, Que.'s Jean-Paul Compaore finished 11th crossing the line in 3:17.47. The race was won by Switzerland's Marcel Hug in 3:08.16 claiming his fourth 2013 Championship title.
London, Ont.'s Kevin Strybosch placed 11th in the F37 shot put final registering 11.20 metres. The event was won by Dong Xia of China in a Championship record of 16.15 metres.
