Basilikon Doron
The Basilikon Doron is a treatise on government written by King James VI of Scotland (who would later become James I of England), in 1599. Basilikon Doron (Βασιλικὸν Δῶρον) in the Greek language means royal gift. It was written in the form of a private letter to the King's eldest son, Henry, Duke of Rothesay, born 1594. After Henry's death in 1612, James gave it to his second son, Charles, born 1600, later King Charles I. Seven copies of it were printed in Edinburgh in 1599, and it was republished in London in 1603, when it sold in the thousands.
This document is separated into three books, serving as general guidelines to follow to be an efficient monarch. The first describes a king's duty towards God as a Christian. The second focuses on the roles and responsibilities in office and the third concerns proper behavior in the daily lifestyle.
As the first part is concerned with being a good Christian, James instructed his son to love and respect God as well as to fear Him. Furthermore, it is essential to carefully study the Scripture (the Bible) and especially specific books in both the Old and New Testaments. Lastly, he must pray often and always be thankful for what God has given him.
In the second book, James encouraged his son to be a good king, as opposed to a tyrant, by establishing and executing laws as well as governing with justice and equality. To boost the economy, it is important to invite foreign merchants into the country and base the currency on gold and silver. According to James, a good monarch must be well acquainted with his subjects and therefore it would be wise to visit all kingdoms every three years. During war, he should choose old but good captains to lead an army composed of young and agile soldiers. In the court and household, he should carefully select loyal gentlemen and servants to surround him. When the time came to choose a wife, it would be best if she were of the same religion and had a generous estate. However, she must not meddle with government politics, but perform her domestic duties. As for the inheritance, to ensure stability the kingdom should be left to the eldest son, and not divided among all the children. Lastly, it is most important to James that his son would know well his own craft, which is to properly govern over his subjects. To do this, he must study the laws of his kingdom and actively participate in the Council. Furthermore, he must be acquainted with mathematics, for military purposes, and world history, for foreign policy.
The final portion of the Basilikon Doron focuses on the daily life of a monarch. For instance, James advised his son to eat meat to be strong for traveling and during wartime. He must also beware not to drink and sleep excessively. Furthermore, his wardrobe should always be clean and proper, and he must never allow his hair and nails to grow long. In his writing and speech, he should use honest and plain language.
All of these guidelines composed an underlying code of conduct to be followed by all monarchs and heads of state to rule and govern efficiently. James assembled these directions as a result of his own experience and upbringing. He, therefore, offered the Basilikon Doron to his son with the hope of rendering him a capable ruler, and perhaps, to pass it down to future generations.
The Basilikon Doron repeats the argument for the divine right of kings, as set out in The True Law of Free Monarchies, which was also written by James. It too warns against "Papists" and derides Puritans. It advocates removing the Apocrypha from the Bible. The published Basilikon Doron may well have been intended to portray the king in a favorable light. James Sempill assisted James in composing it. Robert Waldegrave, who was bound to secrecy, printed seven copies at the king's behest. Henry Taylor said that he printed it on Waldegrave's press. Richard Royston, and later William Dugard, printed further copies.
The Basilikon Doron criticises both Roman Catholics and Puritans. This is in keeping with the king's philosophy of following a "middle path", as reflected in the preface to the 1611 King James Bible.

Clever young science minds from across the Fraser Coast have been put to the test at the Science and Engineering Challenge, hosted by USC and the Queensland STEM Education Network (QSEN).
More than 280 Year 9 and 10 students drew on the principles of science and utilised creative thinking and problem solving skills in the event at Hervey Bay on May 5.
Working in teams, the students competed in eight logistical challenges that included creating a communications system using coloured lights and optical fibres, making earthquake-proof towers, designing a bionic hand and building a span bridge.
Eight of the region's high schools took part in the challenge. The regional champions will go on to represent the Fraser Coast at state level.
The national science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) outreach program is designed to inspire Year 9 and 10 students to consider a future career in science and technology.

Message from the OSA Chair
Dear Alumni
I hope you are well as we move through the midpoint of the year. It has been an exciting first half of the year at the OSA and the School.
For a long time now, we have been working on the details of our product offering and I can tell you now, that what is being launched later this year is going to be very exciting.
The team has built an exciting range of products, supplied by Alumni as well as some very exciting offerings, including discounts at Higher Ground, various reciprocity opportunities and a new portal to go live this year.
This is also the half of the year where we begin planning for a myriad of events which include, the OSA Dinner, the golf day, a waterpolo festival and so much more. There are also a host of reunions taking place so look out for the details.
My big drive this year has been around celebrating our 60th anniversary as an association and part of this will include the development project at Higher Ground. We are looking at various ways of creating various levels of improvement to the facility, to offer more to more people. If you or your business would like to be part of helping us deliver this new facility, please feel free to get in touch with me as we finalise the plans for the renovations. This can include, materials, services or any form of donation which will help us deliver a world class facility for our community.
If you would like to be in touch on anything involving the OSA, please feel free to get in touch with me. I am always keen to hear your views and if you are wanting to get involved we have numerous projects which are looking for help.
I look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events or at Higher Ground.
Stay warm through winter.

Easter Festival Report
The OSA once again hosted the hospitality tent at the annual St Stithians Sports Festival and 2018 proved to be a great success. While the rain really came down on Saturday afternoon we still saw one of the busiest Thursdays in memory and a very busy Saturday with our tent servicing up to 5 000 people at any given time. It was, fair to say, a weekend of great festivities and great sporting disciplines on display.
The tent brought in all the alumni from the various schools participating within the festival and from around Joburg. A combination of the sport being played throughout the day and entertainment happening from within the Hospitality tent, lead to a positive turnout throughout the festival, regardless of the rain that hit on Saturday afternoon.
The new layout and formation of the tent was a great success and the positive feedback in its regard will be considered when planning for next year. There are a few changes to work out some logistical issues, for both the public and the school, however, we look forward to introducing some exciting and innovative aspects to the area next year.
As an OSA member we look forward to welcoming you into the tent next year and trust that you will enjoy the space as much as we do.
Girls College Alumni Meeting
On Saturday, 26th May we invited the Girls to attend a discussion on how the OSA can be more inclusive to the Ladies. These are some of the pointers that were bought up:
- There is a lack of communication between the OSA and the girls alumni regarding what the OSA does, how the girls can be involved and what portfolios exist within the OSA, what opportunities are available for volunteers and events that are held for alumni.
- It was mentioned that the lack of communication could be due to the database being outdated and due to the fact that many of the old girls change their names after being married and subsequently their contact details have changed.
- A suggestion was made that if more girls were present and participated in alumni-related events, it may change the current perception so that all members, regardless of race or gender would feel more at home and comfortable at the One and All.
- A suggestion of 'Old girls and partners' type evenings and events were raised (e.g. Pub quiz with prizes, Paint the night and similar types of events were mentioned) to encourage girls to attend OSA events and develop their respective networks within the girls' alumni. It was suggested that girls would be more inclined to participate and be present at the One and All if they felt comfortable within their networks.
- It was suggested by the girls that similar meetings should be held once a quarter to allow them to raise concerns and suggestions as to how the OSA may change its current dynamic attract more girls back to the One and All. The next meeting will be scheduled around August and will be held on a Saturday mid-morning.
Girls College 2008 Class Reunion

Traditional re-enactments of Khmer Rouge torture to be performed at a ceremony for the May 20 Day of Anger at Choeung Ek.
GOVERNMENT officials and Khmer Rouge victims are to gather at the Choeung Ek killing fields today to commemorate the launch, 33 years ago, of the regime's brutal policy of collectivisation.
Phnom Penh Governor Kep Chuktema is to speak during the morning ceremony, and as part of a yearly tradition, performers will re-enact some of the methods used by cadres to execute and torture overworked prisoners.
This year's "Day of Anger" (tivea choang kamheung) is the first to overlap with proceedings at the Khmer Rouge tribunal, and as the trial of S-21 prison chief Kaing Guek Eav continues this week, observers say the day of remembrance will have a deeper resonance.
"It takes at least three historical steps for Cambodia to reach a full sense of forgiveness and reconciliation," Youk Chhang, director of the Documentation Centre for Cambodia (DC-Cam), said Tuesday.
"After January 7, 1979, Cambodia thought it was hate and anger that made her strong. In fact, it was all she had to fight the Khmer Rouge, and it was the only means she could express to the world the suffering she had been through during the Khmer Rouge time," he said.
"But now Cambodia realises that a prosecution with the support from the United Nations is needed to allow her to fully forgive the Khmer Rouge, and that she will then be ready to reconcile with her broken nation," he said.
Municipal authorities as well as some provincial authorities commemorate the day in areas where Khmer Rouge killing fields remain visible.
But Phay Siphan, spokesman for the Council of Ministers, told the Post it was not necessarily about "getting angry".
"May 20 isn't meant for vengeance. It's meant for remembering the atrocities perpetrated during the Khmer Rouge regime, a regime that massacred its own people," he said.
"We commemorate this national day so that we, the Cambodian people, will never forget the genocide committed by the Pol Pot regime, and to prevent genocide from ever happening again in our country or elsewhere in the world," he said.
Mann Chhoeun, Phnom Penh deputy governor, said Anger Day this year would have a different feel, with the materialisation of an active war crimes tribunal.
"The Phnom Penh Municipality commemorates Anger Day every year to remember the atrocities and sufferings that occurred during the Khmer Rouge regime," he said.
"We also pay respect to the victims who died and appeal for justice. And we are starting to see that justice already, with the beginning of the ECCC's judgment of former Khmer Rouge leaders," Mann Chhoeun said.
Although the ceremony has been criticised for being a state-sponsored event, Youk Chhang said that it didn't need to be a political day.
"It is history. We cannot change, rewrite or modify it, but accept it, learn from it and move on."
Textbooks to be distributed
DC-Cam is to also begin handing out Khmer Rouge history textbooks today as part of a drive to supply more than 1,000 high schools with a text on the regime.
The US ambassador-at-large for war crimes, Clint Williamson, who arrived Monday in Phnom Penh, is to attend the textbook launch at Hun Sen Ang Snoul High School.

The Boston Red Sox do a great job of getting on base, but they also frequently run into outs on the basepaths.
It is an issue that plagued the Sox prior to this season, and despite a managerial change, poor baserunning has continued to be an issue. Manager Alex Cora often has harped on being aggressive on the bases, however, that aggressiveness sometimes crosses into the realm of carelessness, and costs them much-needed runs.
To try and combat the issue, Cora incorporated baserunning into the team's batting practice, just like taking grounders in the field. The Sox skipper candidly detailed the current state of his squad's baserunning during an appearance Wednesday on WEEI's "Dale and Keefe."
"I've been saying the whole time we need to get better," Cora told host Dale Arnold. "Actually, yesterday during batting practice we had baserunning, we added that to the equation. We did that in spring training and we felt that just like infield, we take grounders in a different way than other teams. Defense is very important, well baserunning is very important. We got them out there during their groups and they're running the bases, it's something we're preaching.
"Like you said, there's certain outs that I don't care, but there's others that we have to be responsible, and actually we've been very irresponsible running the bases since Day 1 and we have to be better."
Obviously, baserunning errors have to be addressed on a case-by-case basis, but it's a no-brainer to try and eliminate some of the brutal errors Boston has made this season.

The current public discourse makes me wonder whether or not character still matters. You know—that stuff people learn at church, the Boy Scouts, or in the armed forces. Do we still place value on these personal attributes in a way that drives our actions and life choices? Or, are they touching, but largely irrelevant, like Casablanca (a movie which half the people reading this article may not even recognize)?
Tino Martella and Marty Gupta, CEO and VP of Strategy at the Turknett Leadership Group, double down on the importance of leadership character in this week's CEO Exclusive show. They argue that "good" character in business leaders leads to trust and engagement with employees and other stakeholders. This idea echoes the conscious leadership dimension of Conscious Capitalism that we've discussed so often on the show, but before we sermonize on why it's so important, what is "good" character anyway?
Turknett has developed a model for the kind of character that they believe drives effective leadership. In this model, they describe the attributes they endeavor to help their clients develop over time. In this week's article, we discuss the model and how these attributes are necessary but not sufficient for the character to which many of us aspire.
Turknett's Leadership Character Model
Integrity–Character is grounded in integrity. Leaders must be honest, credible and completely trustworthy. A person with integrity doesn't twist facts for personal advantage, is willing to stand up for what is right, keeps all promises, and can be counted on to always tell the truth. A person with integrity makes sound decisions, especially when faced with moments of indecision, temptation and conflict. Without integrity, no leader can be successful.
Respect– Respect helps create a culture of partnership and teamwork. Leaders who demonstrate respect show an unconditional high regard for others, acknowledging their values and people, regardless of their behaviors.
- Empathy– Leaders earn trust by relating to everyone in the organization with understanding. Empathetic leaders create strong bonds and are seen as less political.
- Lack of Blame– Good leaders reflect honestly on their own behavior and can admit their mistakes. Rather than spending time assigning blame, leaders spend time fixing problems.
- Emotional Mastery– More than 2000 years ago, Epictetus said, "It is not the facts and events that upset man but the view he takes of them." Leaders who have developed emotional mastery recognize that.
- Humility– Leaders with humility shun pompous and arrogant behavior. They realize that we are all fallible – a combination of strengths and weaknesses.
Responsibility– Great leaders accept full responsibility for personal success and for the success of projects, teams, and the entire organization.
- Self-confidence– Self-confident leaders recognize the value of building that same self-confidence in others throughout their organizations and aren't threatened by confident followers.
- Accountability– Leaders who are accountable do what needs to be done, no matter where in the organization they have to go. They hold themselves 100% accountable for making relationships work.
- Focus on the whole– Leaders who focus on the big picture think in terms of what's good for the entire organization, not in terms of what's good for their own team or department.
- Courage– Leaders with courage assert themselves and take risks. They ask forgiveness rather than permission and try even though they might fail.
These are BIG, admirable words. However, reading them here in a list leaves me feeling as though I'm eating alphabet soup. Understanding what is required for good character is only the most basic step. In fact, most of us already know parts of Turknett's model. The chasm between knowing and doing is enormous. That chasm is where we all live.
Don't Mistake the Map for the Territory
One important step in actualizing the BIG words in Turknett's model in a live human being is recognizing the limitations of language. The word "courage" is not courage itself. Conversational Intelligence describes how words and meaning aren't always a perfect match, "In 1931, Alfred Korzybski, a Polish-American scientist and philosopher, coined the phrase "the map is not the territory" to distinguish the words we use to describe reality from reality itself. Korzybski said that we often confuse the map (the way our minds represent reality) with the territory (our physical reality) and don't realize we are confusing the two. We communicate with others as though we all share the same map—and the same world—which causes conflict and collisions."
Often the conflicts and collisions mentioned above are internal. Sometimes we actually don't know what the words mean in a given situation. The words may point the way but one has to take action to make them real.
Translate Into Action
Our daily behavior is what translates the description of good character into real life. Breaking each attribute down into corresponding actions and habits for ourselves—what one needs to do—is critical to getting beyond BIG words. Integrity, which Turknett has as the foundation of its model, is a great example. How do you translate the word "Integrity" into daily action?
Here's one approach from Landmark Education that I have found amazingly clear, simple, and helpful. "Definition of Integrity; Part 1–Honoring Your Word. Doing what you said you would do, and doing it on time. Doing what you know to do and doing it as it was meant to be done, and doing it on time. Doing what others would expect you to do, even if you haven't said that you would do it, and doing it on time. Whenever you will not be doing any of the above, saying so as soon as you realize you won't be doing it, or won't be doing it on time, and saying if you will do it and by when, or saying you won't be doing it at all. Dealing with the consequences of your not doing it on time, or not doing it all, for those who are impacted by your not doing it on time or not doing it at all."
Upon examination, this definition is brutal. But, that's because it's based on behavior. By this standard, integrity is no longer a vague concept centered in "being a decent person". When most people (including me) compare their lives to this definition, the gaps and failures come into stark reality. I think about all the times I've said "I'll call you back" or "I'll get that to you tomorrow" or "Let's get together some time", and I cringe. And, to be honest, those are the lightweight examples. But, as difficult as it may be, if I am to be authentic about cultivating character, I have to start with real life and real behavior.
Create Impressions Through Experience
The BIG words and concepts point to specific actions. Those actions become ongoing habits and behaviors. Then, the behaviors result in an experience for employees and other stakeholders. And, it's the experience that matters. It's the experience that creates the lasting impression that people remember months and years later. Maya Angelou explains, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
Thus, the highest level of character is giving people the experience of integrity, respect and responsibility, or other character traits when one is present. Without being spoken or doing anything, people feel the presence of integrity, for example. They know it's there.
From the standpoint of business, Marty and Tino from the Turknett Leadership Group assert that "good character" drives positive outcomes. Moreover, I've heard this assertion from over 200 different CEOs over three years. If this belief is true, then why do we so often tolerate contradictory behavior in ourselves and others? Because we have to. Every human being on planet earth has varied character. Since character is not binary, good character is a myth. We all exist on a spectrum that varies between individuals or within an individual over time. And, we don't always know where we (or others) are on the scale.
So, this is where things get tricky. We have to make trade-offs. And in business, money is almost always involved. What is good character? It's a process. It's the process of being guided by our conscience to take the BIG concepts and translate them into action and experience. Not easy, but as I've heard so many times from Turknett and all the CEOs on this show, definitely worthwhile.

PEMA ZANGMO - Survey Engineer with the National Land Commission Bhutan draws inspiration from the training
18 December 2018
The potential for future impact can be seen with Pema, another participant of the UNOSAT training. Only two years into her job with the National Land Commission as a survey engineer, Pema has a different scope of work than Sonam.
SONAM TOBGAY - Senior Survey Engineer, National Land Commission, Bhutan reports on greater data authenticity after the training
18 December 2018
Talking with Sonam, who was video calling us from outside in the green forests of Bhutan where he works, it was soon clear how passionate he is about his work; he is engaging, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was also clear that, for Sonam and his team at least, the UNOSAT training has had an immediate impact on the work that they do.
29 November 2017
Before she participated in her first UNITAR training, Ms. Syeda Bushra Binte Amin was working at the Asian Disaster Preparedness Centre (ADPC), a regional organization focused on disaster preparedness in Bangladesh.
29 November 2017
"It was hard to know the exact damage area from flood, drought or other disaster because they happened fairly frequently and all estimates were done manually. Now, with GIS we can show our department and ministry a clear picture of the area of disaster and other important information quickly".
28 November 2017
"Instead of the old method of information sharing, I now use technologically advanced tools to convert probability of precipitation to actual rainfall amounts for specific areas, and that final output is put into GIS maps with which farmers can interact and understand."

Introducing, the one, the only, Oliver Robert Krebs!!
Okay, so when we decided on the name I had a laughing fit because I realized we could nickname him Ollie Bob. (As in Alibaba and the forty theives.) It appears that fruit doesn't fall far from the tree in my family. My father, after hearing the chosen name, began to laugh over Ollie Boba and the forty dirty diapers. So, the baby, less than 24 hours after being named, already has a funny nickname.
Here he is, a side shot, head to the left, belly to the right.
Here is his foot. It looks like a little peanut. His little toes are to the left, his heel to the right.
Another fuzzier side shot.
There is also another shot that supposedly shows his genetalia, however, I am at a loss for words to try and explain it. There is a long white line near the left bottom of the photo that is a leg. The scrotal sack is above the beginning of that leg. (Best I can do.)

The Man City dream's over - time for Alexis to put up, shut up and give his absolute all for Arsenal
Alexis Sanchez arrived back in London on Wednesday a week after he was denied his dream move to Manchester City on transfer deadline day.
The deal itself had been common knowledge for several months and covered extensively on Goal , yet it was only a mixture of City's lateness and Arsenal's dallying which saw the move break down .
11/4 for Man City and Liverpool draw
Now, Arsene Wenger's side have a player on their hands who has been forced to stay and will have to accept a huge economic loss if he doesn't agree to sign a contract extension.
"You take a Sanchez into the final year of his contract, you sacrifice £60-£70 million income and at the end of the season you will have to buy somebody for that amount of money," Wenger told beIN Sports .
Alexis drew criticism for his negative body language at times and some have suggested that his frustrations could boil over and affect team morale in a crucial domestic campaign for Arsenal.
However, Gunners legend Ray Parlour remains convinced that the forward will give the team everything due to the player's unrelenting work ethic and passion for the game.
Parlour gives an example of his own experience at Hull City,where he joined the Tigers on a pay-as-you-play deal and trained with Arsenal for most of the week.
"If he scores a hat-trick tomorrow then all things are forgotten very quickly," Parlour told Goal.
"It's all about performances. When I played for Hull City I used to train with Arsenal Monday to Thursday. It was a bit difficult for the Hull players as they didn't see me until the Friday. It's all about what you do on the pitch.
"If I'm helping the players to stay in the division then they're going to welcome me with open arms. I think Sanchez is the same sort of scenario. He's a character and you know how much hard work he puts into games.
"I think he'll be exactly the same even though he's got a year left on his contract. He's got a bit of personal pride about him and whichever shirt he puts on he'll give 100 per cent [for the team].
"Maybe that's one of the reasons they didn't let him go because if you lose a player who scores 25 goals in the season then that is really hard to replace."
For every optimist there is a cynic and many feel that even if Alexis replicates his scintillating goalscoring form of last season, he risks causing damage to team morale with his negative displays of body language and screaming at team-mates when things go wrong.
Sanchez's performances for Chile courted further criticism earlier in the week following two straight defeats in which his fiercest critics claimed he had 'put on weight' and that his 'head wasn't right'.
There can be no doubting that Arsenal have one of the best players in the world on their hands in the peak of his career, but those doubts will remain over his mentality until he starts performing again.
"He might be a warrior in some people's eyes but last season I saw him stand on the left wing for six games, and he didn't bother his backside," said former Arsenal player Charlie Nicholas.
"It was concerning for me. My concern was that Arsenal were trying to get him out and he's the difficult one to come back in - his team-mates will start asking whether he's putting it all in or is he camouflaging it."
Memories are short in football and it will only take a few goals and run of games for Alexis to once again endear himself to those supporters, but you can't help feeling that they may have been better off getting rid of an unhappy player when they had the opportunity.
They don't have Lemar but the Gunners do have Sanchez. El Nino Maravilla is back and everyone will be watching. It's time for the man himself to deliver.

Intro High Quality WordPress Themes
When On the lookout for a theme or plugin, WordPress users are spoilt for choice. With the official repository, dedicated marketplaces and assorted WordPress stores, there are thousands of options — so many, in reality, that it could all too easily become difficult to make a decision. High Quality WordPress Themes
Making So is not something to be dismissed — the choice is vital to your site's achievement, though. After allyour site's theme will decide the design displayed to your customers, and your plugins will include the majority of its plugins.
To help You make an informed decision, I'll take an comprehensive look at one of the best places to buy WordPress themes and plugins: MyThemeShop. In addition to examining MyThemeShop generally, I'll also be looking at its most important attributes, reviewing a few of its top products and sharing hints for prospective buyers.
Click Here to register up to MyThemeShop Now!
Let's begin!
What Is MyThemeShop?
Using a Title like MyThemeShop, you would think the answer will be clear cut. In fact, MyThemeShop occupies a middle ground between a WordPress theme store and a WordPress'club'. However more leans .
This is Because although all its products (MyThemeShop develops plugins and themes ) are readily available to purchase individually, in addition, it includes a membership option that gives users complete access to its whole product range.
Believe It or not, MyThemeShop is one of the most significant WordPress clubs around, boasting a satisfied clients and a catalogue of 99 topics and 20 plugins. High Quality WordPress Themes
MyThemeShop Support
As we have Touched a number of times during this article, MyThemeShop provides 24/7 service for all its customers, quality. It takes place in its service forum, in public, so that users can learn from issues that are common.
There's a Dedicated section for themes and plugins, plus separation between free and premium products. Simply post your issue about the forum and one of those MyThemeShop-employed service team will respond typically in no more than an hour.
Rather Than only concentrating on paid associates, MyThemeShop offers great support to free users as well, considering that the service a person receives for a product should not rely on if they paid or not.
The forum Also supports a search feature, which means you can start looking for existing solutions to a problem — usually the fastest way to discover answers. Queries are indicated with a postage.
Along with The service forum, MyThemeShop has added a collection of 45 video tutorials teaching the basics of WordPress, the way to utilize the MyThemeShop products, and even how to utilize some favorite non-MyThemeShop plugins. These videos are available via the Tutorial tab.
And, if You're still unable after posting to the support forum to fix your problem, MyThemeShop also offers email support. In the event you need tweaks to your subject, specific customisations, site setup, or website migrations, the MyThemeShop service team can help you out (although these services are, as you would expect, paid).
MyThemeShop WordPress Themes
Now, on To the important things: its products' high quality and choice. We'll start by studying MyThemeShop's core product range: WordPress topics.
The MyThemeShop collection is composed 83 premium topics, and 16 ones. High Quality WordPress Themes
MyThemeShop Themes were created with usability in mind, and every single theme ships using a market-leading theme options panel from which you can command the theme's settings, import dummy content (to have your website looking like the demonstration you saw when you purchased the theme), or dive into its numerous customisation options.
It is Worth taking a little time to discuss the full scope of these customisation options, making the themes very versatile.
For a Start, every theme has support for colours that are infinite and the full catalogue of Google net fonts — more than 600. Perhaps more importantly, all topics offer unlimited background choices: such as a variety of built-in background patterns, the aforementioned unlimited colours, and the option to upload a custom background picture.
The Topics are pretty. There is built in advertising management, lightweight and fashionable buttons, and contact form included with every theme. All topics also come with support for the entire selection of MyThemeShop shortcodes, letting you add eye-catching design elements to your website with ease.
Most Importantly, though, is that underneath all of this is a clean, lightweight, and robust code. What is more, to ensure that your website is as visitor-friendly as you possibly can, all themes boast a completely mobile reactive design, lightning-quick load times, and cross-browser compatibility.
Another Bonus: each theme comes with a narrated video tutorial, also MyThemeShop offers round-the-clock support that will assist you out of any tight places you might experience (more on this later).
The Themes are divided across four categories:
- Magazine topics (39 available)
- Website themes (41 available)
- WooCommerce topics (17 available)
- Business themes (9 available)
Searching To get a motif is easy, and the MyThemeShop website has lots of features that will help you out. To begin with, you can look for topics in each of the four categories we've just recorded, and there is a separate category for free and miscellaneous themes. Or, if you'd like, you can start by looking for a keyword using the search function. High Quality WordPress Themes
All Themes include a preview to help you get an idea of the design. These previews arrive in rows of three by default, butif you'd like a slightly larger preview, you can pick rows of 2. There's also a filter that lets you sort the topics by recognition or release date.
Perhaps Most useful of all is that MyThemeShop allows you to select which features you need on your theme. Features are chosen from a drop-down listing, and any theme that fails to meet your criteria is dropped out of the research page. There are nine options (and you can pick more than one):
- Two column
- Three pillar
- AdSense optimised
- Full width
- Fixed header
- Responsive
- Slider
- Translation ready
When You have found a motif you like the look of, you could click through to the theme's merchandise page. Here, you are going to have the ability to read more about the theme's major attributes, plus you will get an notion of the subject's popularity — every theme involves a community rating out of five.
As you'd Expect from one of the top theme sellers around, every theme comes with its own demonstration.
Before You buy a theme, I suggest spending a couple of minutes exploring this demonstration. You'll be able to sample the motif's designs, try out the different customisation options, and find an overall idea of how the motif looks and plays.

Most Popular MyThemeShop Topics
To give You a taste of the quality of the topics, let us take a little time it has to offer you. No sales amounts have been made available, therefore we're expecting the'popularity' search function . (Note: Click a screenshot to be taken directly to the theme's demonstration page.)
From Social networking to the search engines, Schema is a website tailored to dominating the SERPs — achieved by a carefully designed, SEO-optimized layout. The theme is also fast, with website speed an important position factor. The website uses a stylish-yet-simple layout, also it comes packed with review functionality and ad management. For an SEO-focused theme named Schema, the motif, of course, adds the essential Schema markup that powers Google rich snippets.
Social Traffic is consistently growing, and whole websites have popped up consuming off traffic. If you are looking to build a viral societal website, SociallyViral was assembled for you — that the motif boasts a variety of characteristics to Boost social shares and also cater to viral traffic. That means a website with a great deal of societal buttons, trending post widgets, and, with one eye on monetization, innovative AdSense optimization.
Greatest is a magazine motif that is gorgeous, simple, and clean WordPress. Even though Many magazine themes wind up looking overly cluttered, Best stays organized throughout — it is clearly defined sections make your site easy for people to browse. As you'd expect from a magazine theme, there is also plenty of committed widgets; bright, vibrant social sharing buttons; and built-in review performance. High Quality WordPress Themes
OnePage supports a stunning slider above The fold, grabbing traffic' attentions. It is primarily a company theme, encouraging dedicated team, portfolio, customer, reviews, and pricing segments — all of that seem extremely professional and offer trendy parallax effects. The theme also looks great when kitted out in its own alternative blogging skin.
PointPro is another stylish, professional theme, this Time coming in three variants — blog, business, and eCommerce store. The business template is particularly eye-catching, using a tidy, organized layout complementing lots of pictures — there's a picture slider, thumbnails, and gallery performance, too. The motif gives you loads of versatility, with backgrounds that are unlimited colors, and custom sidebars.
MyThemeShop Plugins
As well As themes, MyThemeShop additionally offers 20 WordPress plugins, such as 12 premium (at $29 each) and eight free.
All these Plugins allow you to add quite special functionality to your website, such as telling bars, time-to-read quotes and coming soon pages.
You can Search for plugins in the same way as topics because plugins vary in terms of their capabilities, the plugin pages are the main places to look for whatever details you are after.
Each Plugin page has a long list of the plugin's features, giving you a clear indication of what it can (or can't) do. You will also see an individual evaluation, and so that you can see every one in action, there is a useful presentation for each plugin.
Most Popular MyThemeShop Plugins
Because There are fewer plugins than themes, let us run down the three MyThemeShop WordPress plugins. I'll also supply a brief overview of what each plugin can perform.
WP Mega Menus adds beautiful menus to your website. The mega menus come allow you to add images, and loaded with options. These menus are a stunning and notable design feature for your website, and they make it more simple to navigate.
WP Subscribe Pro lets you display stylish popups and Your list to cultivate. This plugin boasts lots of design choices plus support for exit intent technology. You can even incorporate WP Subscribe Pro with the email marketing autoresponder solutions, such as MailChimp AWeber and, needless to say.
Since the Name implies, WP Review Guru adds inspection functionality. This lets you speed goods in style, using a range of evaluation systems and customisation choices. The plugin adds the schema markup to your review articles, which induces Google snippets functionality. (Note: Recently featured in our very best review plugin roundup.) High Quality WordPress Themes
MyThemeShop Cost
With this Many competitors, how can MyThemeShop's theme and plug costs stack up? Let's look at the item rates.
MyThemeShop Functions a pricing structure that is level — any theme will set you back a 59, with plugins coming at $29 each. This is a somewhat standard price for themes and plugins, and on a par with major marketplaces such as ThemeForest and CodeCanyon.
Should you Need access an membership account prices $167 a year. For that price, you'll receive access to all 99 topics and 20 plugins, as well as client support and access.
Membership Is pricier than that of some of the additional theme clubs, such as ElegantThemes (from $59 annually ), TeslaThemes (from $59 annually ), and ThemeIsle (from $99 a year), but more reasonably priced than the likes of WooThemes (from $399 a year — upgrade — 16th July: WooThemes.com is now under the umbrella of WooCommerce.com, using their themes available at https://woocommerce.com/product-category/themes/), WPMU Dev (from $294 a year), also StudioPress (from $499 a year).

VALDOSTA — Motorists will notice delays on Interstate 75 this week due to construction work in Lowndes County, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation.
The work involves the new overpass construction at Exit 29/Ga. 122 in Hahira, according to a GDOT statement.
A temporary wall that was moved to the median before Hurricane Dorian approached Georgia will be relocated to block the inside lane of I-75 north and south in the area of the interchange. The contractor will block the left lane beginning 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 8. At 10 p.m. the contractor will also close the middle lane for the safety of employees who will be moving the barrier wall. The middle lane will reopen once the wall is in place, according to the statement.
Installation of bridge beams at the interchange is also scheduled. This will be done overnight to minimize the impact to I-75 traffic, which must be paced. Beams will be set over I-75 northbound lanes Monday, Sept. 9, and over southbound lanes Wednesday, Sept. 11, weather permitting, the statement said.
Pacing is scheduled to begin 10 p.m. each night. Law enforcement will briefly hold traffic as cranes lift each beam and swing it into position. It may take several hours each night to set all the beams. Drivers should expect delays and are asked to be patient moving through the work zone and to remain alert for personnel and heavy equipment in the area, according to the statement.
The $49.6 million project is reconstructing the interchanges at Exit 29 and Exit 22 near Valdosta. The bridges were built in 1960 and the design is outdated for current and projected traffic. Construction of the overpasses was staged to avoid closing the interchanges. Construction is expected to be finished next summer, according to the statement.
Terry Richards is senior reporter at The Valdosta Daily Times.

To discover that I have even fewer friends than I'd suspected. I've always been able to make friends easily, and, of course, lose them even more easily. I tend to be kind of a user. A parasite, as it were. I use people for whatever I can get/take from them and then I cast them aside. Well, now karma (yet again) is coming back to kick my stupid ass. Truthfully, I wouldn't have it any other way. It's good to keep on your toes. To hope for the best, prepare for the worst, and insure everything.
This morning, I sent out e-mails to a bunch of folks, asking them for their input with regard to questions (preferably of the offbeat sort) to ask of the fair Dana Hamm. Sadly, the responses were few and far between. Thanks to Jay and Chun for coming through for me, though. Maybe folks simply thought I was kidding. You'd think that somebody who's gotten married in Las Vegas on the 1st date and become a minister (still no prospective sheep for my flock, sigh) online would be believed when he says he's done or is doing something. And folks say I'M cynical. Well, yeah, I guess I kinda am. Well, I managed to cobble together a set of questions to ask of the nice model. Hopefully, she'll see fit to answer them and, possibly, to let me ask a few more. Then I'll see if I can accomplish the technicalities of posting said interview. One crisis at a time.
As I said earlier, I also sent a friendly, back-to-basics type missive to the divine Ms. K. Apparently, I was correct in concluding that I'd over-estimated things with her. Oh, well, that'll happen. Either that or I simply scared her off. That, too, happens all too often when one is I. Note to self: don't tell folks, be they women or just plain folks; about your ex-wife and your half-assed stalker. Nobody cares. Hell, do I even care? Not especially. I'm fairly certain that cut my losses time has arrived. Which is too bad, as I'd hoped Kendra and I could at least be friends. And not the secret kind. Naturally, this little revelation means that our softball team's end of year party next weekend will be a fairly scary situation. I'm shooting for a cross between the Spring Fling and the Tet Offensive. Or Christmas in Hell, it could go either way.
I was listening to another employee, who's a pretty good guy, vent his frustrations, work-wise, last night. I'm a pretty good listener, stays quiet, keeps to himself, never bothers anybody, sort of fellow. And as he was doing so, I realized how thankful I am for my sorry little blog, as I get to rant and rave and spew venom every which way 2 or 3 or however many times a day. Yay, blogging! Yay, me!
Thanks to all of you who've stopped by to the tune of 941 MB of downloaded info this month. Much obliged. Obviously, it's the goofy pictures that do it, so I'll try to keep 'em coming.
Thanks again to James of Ripe Word Fruit of the Num-Num Tree, who lives on the beach in FLA, I'm glad you're safe and sound, if somewhat inconvenienced. You're totally right, black hooker-wise. The extreme DOES tend to make an impression, don't it? And lord knows that I, as both a no-kidding loon and fun/quirky kind of fella; love to give folks stories to tell. I am, after all, a legend in my own ''mind''. I'll have to seriously contemplate this one.
Thanks also to Suzanne of Reinventing the Bell Jar, who is going back to college. I wish you nothing but good luck with that endeavour. It's always good to attempt to better oneself, and I know you'll be successful at anything you try. My ministry and Christian-ity proceed slowly, mostly because I'm sort of a non-linear thinker, as y'all may have gathered over the 4 months and change I've been committing crimes against pretty much anybody and everything I can think of.
Another dream of K today. In this one, I learned that certain liberties had been taken (against her will) with regard to her frame and virtue. I just fucking LOST it, and waited for the guy outside his house. Oh hell yeah, I fucked that boy UP! It takes a lot to get me riled up, especially now, with the light of inner peace and serenity which being the Reverend Christian Manson has so obviously brought me, but the thought of someone I consider at least a friend (even if I'm tragically mistaken) being mistreated or suffering in any way tends to make me see crimson. As in mask, as in somebody ending up with blood covering and obscuring their facial features.
Anyway, the whole time I'm smashing this guy's face through every single picket of a fence and preparing to flay him alive with a box-cutter (not as easy as it sounds), I'm realizing that my psychotic, Bruce Banner, Hulk SMASH! style rage is so not attractive. Said so, too. Even cried a bit whilst I did so. I know, I'm such a chick sometimes.
Didn't think I was going to be able to post this tonight, still more server problems when I attempted to edit. Yes, I DO edit, hard to tell though, ain't it? Whatever. I've come to expect technology, like the Fates to fuck with me at every opportunity. Time to leave for work, so good night, Mr. Serious; good night, Eat Me Beat Me Lady; good night to everyone affected (still not sure whether it's that or effected) by Katrina; good night to my nutty ex-wife; good night, Dana Hamm, I hope your birthday was nothing but good times; good night to the folks I still consider my friends; and, finally, good night Kendra. I'm still a better person for having gotten to know you even a little bit. And I've really no right to ask for more than that out of any I don't want to say relationship, as it's wrong, so I'll go with encounter. Y'all know what I mean. Until manana, y'all stay safe and know someone with an in with god is concerned for your well-being.

For the past few years I have been doing research on Claus Greve and my family. Claus Greve was my great great grandfather and he immigrated to the United States from Schleswig-Holstein in 1872 at the age of 18 years. He was born in 1854 and at that time it was Danish territory. He later married Clara Zimmerman and the had three children; Frederick (he died at 18 yrs old), Louis William (he lived until 59 yrs old) and a daughter Alma (unsure of her age).Our family does not know anything about Claus Greve or the family connections in Denmark/Germany. Does the name Claus Greve show up in any of your research? I would be so happy find information. So far, it is a mystery to us.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Betsy Kidd

Rising prices hit first time buyers
In January 2009, first time buyers comprised 17% of new buyer registrations at Marsh & Parsons, but while there are plenty of buyers registering (over 2,600 so far in 2010), this number fell to 10% in January 2010 – and below one in ten in February. However, with so few London properties in the lower price threshold, the end of the stamp duty 'holiday' at the turn of the year has not played a significant part in this drop-off.
Between January 2008 and April 2009, house prices fell by up to 30% in some parts of London, and last year this improved affordability led to a large increase in demand from first time buyers, looking to get onto the property ladder. In August 2009, first time buyers made up almost one in five new registrations (19%), reaching a peak. However, strong house price growth in the capital since spring 2009 (up £39,602 or 13% on average) is now deterring growing numbers of first timers.
Peter Rollings, managing director of Marsh & Parsons, commented: "Central London may not be typical first time buyer territory, but it's little wonder why. Mortgage lenders now typically require a 25% deposit from first time buyers, meaning they would need to put down over £84,000 to purchase the average London property – realistic for only the tiny minority with substantial parental assistance.
"The end of the stamp duty holiday has not had a great impact on demand, as so few purchases were eligible for exemption. The lack of homes priced below £175,000 meant only 13% of London transactions benefited from stamp duty relief in the first year of the holiday – and only 22% of these purchases were in Inner London boroughs. Higher average house prices mean London is the area where first time buyers are most in need of support and, if the government is serious about helping them, it must reintroduce the stamp holiday and – crucially – take into account the wide regional variations in prices."

I am in my office, my headset is in my car about 500' away, but if I get a call, the screen is the blue tint and unless I uncheck the bluetooth option at the bottom of the screen. This is on a replacement droid, I have done a few battery pulls, didnt fix it. I don't know how to fix this.
