Birthplace of the Blues?
10 comments:
I've just been catching up with some of my favourite blogs with my varied music collection playing on the 'shuffle' setting. Just as I clicked the link the music switched from some bright and breezy reggae to the eerie voice of Skip James wailing the blues. Spooky.ReplyDelete
Between Memphis and Vicksburg in the neighbor of the Mississippi , yes thats blues land. Nice shots also. The machine inside the shed slowly but sure disappearing in time as are the names of some blues artists you mentioned.ReplyDelete
I liked that part of the US too. How wonderful you heard the blues by pushing a button.ReplyDelete
Those were the days!ReplyDelete

The Junior League of Birmingham Presents Shop Save & Share 2018!
For the 13th year in a row, our friends with the Junior League of Birmingham will hold their Shop Save & Share fundraiser this October! Amber is a proud member of the JLB, so we are so excited to help them promote this wonderful event!
The League has more than 30 ongoing community projects, so this initiative will support these projects while encouraging customers to help by supporting local retailers and restaurants.
How it works
When you purchase a Shop Save & Share card or app for $40, you will receive a 20% discount on merchandise and food at the fundraiser's more than 550 participating stores and restaurants! Since its inception, the Shop Save & Share program has put more than $650,000 back into our community. With over 120 retailers added this year, the card will pay for itself in no time! You can even get 20% off of your annual membership to the Birmingham Zoo which includes admission to Zoolight Safari!
For the second year in a row, the Junior League of Birmingham is partnering with our good friends over at Planet Fundraiser, a Birmingham-based software company. (See our interview with their founder HERE.) Planet Fundraiser will host Shop Save & Share on its free mobile app to streamline the retailer sign-up process and allow shoppers to purchase a digital Shop Save & Share card online or event on your smartphone! After that you can easily download the Shop Save & Share card to be used at supporting merchants from within the Planet Fundraiser app.
Ellen King is this years chair of the Shop Save & Share campaign. She puts it simply, "Shop Save & Share gives those in Birmingham a convenient way to not only save 20 percent at more than 550 Birmingham retailers, but also to know the funds used to purchase Shop Save & Share benefit women and children in the Birmingham community."
Why should I participate?
One card purchase can:
* Provide necessities for 4 survivors of sexual violence through the Crisis Center of Birmingham
* Provide 10 meals for homeless women and children through Pathways
* Provide diapers for one child in need for a month through the Junior League's Diaper Bank
* Provide a tank of gas for the Yummy Truck, the Junior League's mobile teaching kitchen
You can purchase and download a Shop Save & Share card from a link on the website ShopSaveandShare.net, or by texting "SSS" to 205-660-0030.
Not tech savvy? That's ok!
Paper Shop Save & Share cards are also available and can be purchased at select retailers including Alabama Outdoors, B. Prince, Dear Prudence, Monograms Plus, Snoozy's Kids, Dermatology and Laser of Alabama, Pure Barre 280, Jack and Jill Shop, Learning Express Toys, Lili Pad and GiGi's Tween, and many more for just $40!
When can I use the Card?
This year's Shop Save & Share program runs from Oct. 17-28, which gives you plenty of time to take advantage of the deals at Birmingham's best retailers and restaurants participating this year! The list of retailers grows bigger with each year and participants absolutely love the diversity of businesses who are participating! Some new retailers include Taziki's Mediterranean Café, City Bowls (YES!), Ono Poke (We will definitely be heading there!), Bridal Bliss, Liz Lane Gallery and many more!
Need more info?
You can visit shopsaveandshare.net for a complete retailer listing, to purchase a card, and for more detailed information. Be sure to stay up to date on any additional information by following Junior League of Birmingham on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Don't forget to use and follow the hashtag #shopsaveshare2018 on Social Media!

Aaron Nola (SP - PHI) The young Phillies ace ran his record to 8-2 on the season with the Phillies 5-4 win over the Rockies Tuesday. Nola went 6.2 innings, allowing one earned run on four hits, while striking out ten and walking none. The outing dropped his ERA to 2.27 as the 25-year-old continues to impress. Currently, he is stranding 80% of baserunners, while allowing just 27.3% hard contact. xFIP sits nearly a full point higher than his ERA, so there could be a bit of a dip, but it doesn't seem to be much to be concerned with. Nola is becoming a fantasy stud before our eyes.
Ender Inciarte (OF - ATL) Inciarte did a little bit of everything in the Braves' 8-2 beatdown of the Mets Tuesday. The 27-year-old finished 2 for 4 with two RBI and two stolen bases, bringing his steal total to 20. While he will never be a big power threat, Inciarte remains a source of runs, and stolen bases, as well as a decent source of RBI. It also helps that he bats in a potent Atlanta lineup. His K% of 13.3% only adds to his value, however, an increase in his .271 BABIP would help his value as his career mark is nearly 50 points higher.
Brad Hand (RP - SD) The Padres' closer finished the 4-2 victory by recording his 20th save of 2018 Tuesday. The outing lowered his ERA to 1.83 and gave him a 52/14 K/BB ratio on the season. His 13.63 K/9 remains impressive, but his 3.67 BB/9 is a bit of a concern. His 73% strand rate offsets the walks, and he continues to minimize the home runs. Hand remains one of the best closers in the game thus far.
Travis Shaw (3B - MIL) Shaw provided all the offense in the Brewers' 4-0 win over the Cubs Tuesday. The Milwaukee third baseman went 2 for 3 with four RBI on the day. His slash line reads .251/.345/.506 with 14 homers and 43 RBI. Shaw's 16% K% contributes to his OBP, but his .254 BABIP is holding down his average. However, Shaw has been heating up in recent weeks, and remains a fixture in your lineup in all formats.
Eric Hosmer (1B -SD) Hosmer smashed his ninth homer of 2018 in the Padres' 4-2 win over the Cardinals Tuesday. On the season, the veteran is slashing .286/.368/.480 with the nine homers, 31 RBI, 34 runs scored and three steals. He continues to be an OBP machine, with his .346 BABIP, paired with his 11% walk rate. He doesn't figure to be more than a 25-home run threat, despite his hard contact rate being up 10% since 2017. Overall, Hosmer is a solid value where he was drafted heading into 2018 and is heating up.

I've been working on this post for a little while.
Now it's Saturday and familial visits are imminent, which leaves me bugger all time between disguising my inadequacy as a homemaker to cobble something else together, so it's finally going to get the chance to go live and destroy any credibility I previously held.
Whether you've raised your kid 'by the book' or taken a more by-the-seat-of-your-pants approach, we all feel the crushing weight of keeping up with the Joneses at one time or another.
I was put in this position recently and opted, rather than attempt to justify myself, for graciously rolling over and prepping them a nifty, pre-written list for the next time they attempt a public character defamation.
This is the result:
10 Reasons I'm A Crap 'Offbeat Parent' And You Should Probably Kick Me Out Of Your Gang…
- Despite having all the fashion sense of a four year old with a Visa, my pre-baby identity really wasn't hella 'alternative' to begin with.
- I gave birth Queen Victoria style; in hospital, on my back, legs akimbo with a lot of bleeping machines and people in white coats. By choice. In fact the only reason I wasn't so off my face on prescription meds that I would have barely remembered I owned a vagina let alone was about to squeeze a large watermelon through it was pure circumstance.
- I don't know how to pronounce the word 'doula'.
- I refuse to do yoga, pilates, tai chi…in fact anything that requires me to sweat in public, wear a pair of trousers that cost more than my entire underwear drawer or put conscious effort into breathing. I have enough to juggle in a day without becoming hyper aware of an unconscious bodily function.
- My position as an extremely vocal, big leftie feminist doesn't make me avant guarde it just means I'm not a dickhead.
- Despite feeling very lucky my son likes vegetables and eats a vaguely balanced diet a good 50% of the time – the other 50% he is entirely sustained on Mini Cheddars, Petit Filous and bottles of sweet tea. I lose no sleep whatsoever over this. Furthermore if I could only eat one category of produce for the rest of my life it would be that well known food group 'pig'.
- Frank continues to ardently not defy gender sterotypes and blossom into a stringent heterosexual. He's basically a 2 (and a bit) ft. tall bloke who likes blondes, cars, trains and bashing things with other things. I secretly wish he was flamboyantly gay.
- As a family we watch a fairly middling amount of television – along with the children's programmes on Milkshake, I'm of the opinion Pointless, Homes Under The Hammer and NCIS are all integral to a well rounded cultural capital.
- I'm a co-sleeper fo' life kind of girl. I still enjoy a snuggle with my Moobli and shared a bed (on occasion) well into my teens. If the little guy still wants to bunk in with mum when he's older I couldn't give a flying fuck – he crawled out of my lady bits, sorry guys, but those 'propriety' boundaries were crossed ages ago.
- I have a horror of child rearing related jargon, including but not limited to, all variations of the phrase 'offbeat parent'…
As a final aside before I'm condemned to baby laundry hell; if anybody reading this is struck with the overwhelming desire to add their own reasons to the list, come on in – the water's lovely.

I am pleased that the Council has rejected the planning application at the 'White Bear' site in Tingley.
Alongside residents, I opposed the proposed development application. A number of people that live near the site approached me to voice their concerns about the impact of the proposed development and I wrote to the Planning Department at Leeds City Council to support residents and formally express my opposition to the plans.
The application would bring further congestion to an already busy area, increase pollution in the area both initially due to the works, and subsequently by the increased number of vehicles travelling through the residential area. Additionally, the plan proposed the removal of more than 50% of the trees that currently exist on the land, further impacting the atmospheric pollution from the site.
Planning applications on this site is one of the most important issues to the residents of Dewsbury Road and the surrounding areas, with many objecting to this proposal for a wide range of reasons, and I am pleased the concerns residents have expressed have been taken into account.
Please find below my full letter to the council:

OMG! Watch This Video Of A 14-Year Old Curvy Ke$ha Grind Dancing At Band Camp!
Many claim that Ke$ha tries too hard to be the Anti-Britney or better yet, Baby Gaga, but a new video of her high school days proves that the wild 23-year-old was like this all along!
In this just unearthed YouTube clip, we see that controversial "Tik-Tok" singer Ke$ha was the same person as she is now, gyrating her way into the hearts of young teens all around the world!
In the video, Ke$ha looks NOTHING like how we know her now — she's brunette, super curvy and totally unpolished. We have to admit, it's rather refreshing to see Kesha before she was "Ke$ha" – she's been wild since day one!
HollywoodLifers, take a peek at Ke$ha back in the day at band camp and tell us what you think!

Yeah, they're mine. Was meaning to post the scavenger world onto the workshop after reaching a certain point of completion, but I never reached it, so I might just post it in its unfinished state if folks want it.

|Mapping Subsurface Structures - MSS
|Computer-Based Subsurface Mapping - CSM
Discipline: Geology
Level: Foundation
Duration: 5 days
Instructor(s): Timothy McMahon
|For geoscientists, contour maps have long been one of the most common tools used to convey information. In the modern petroleum industry, contour maps are generally derived from grids created in interpretation software packages. Maps, or the grids themselves, are used to evaluate prospectivity, estimate prospect volumes, pick drilling locations, and are the inputs for basin models, and static reservoir models. Despite the importance of these maps and the underlying grids, there is often a poor understanding of how the grids are generated and what the implications may be for the final map. The underlying theme in this course is to think about what you are mapping. Common gridding algorithms and parameters are reviewed, with an emphasis on their strengths and weaknesses for different geological problems and input data sets. Participants are asked to generate a variety of maps from different input data types, seeing the impact that varying parameters can have on a single input data set. Participants will also utilize various methods of quality control, grid editing, and grid manipulation (operations).
Designed For:
Geoscience professionals and support staff who generate structure, isochore, and other subsurface maps using interpretation or mapping software.

Philosophical Reasoning
Philosophical Reasoning
Philosophers have often enough set out to describe and examine the reasoning of mathematicians, the reasoning of experimental scientists, the reasoning of historians. I have attempted, in the same spirit, to describe and examine the reasoning of philosophers. But in such a way, I hope, as to avoid two common defects of methodological writings: insufficient illustration, and an undue anxiety to assimilate the varieties of rational procedure to a single type -- as if, for example, mathematicians never did anything but deduce conclusions from axioms, experimental scientists never reasoned except in the process of testing hypotheses, and historians wholly restricted themselves to the construction of narratives.
Illustration, however, has its difficulties: any interpretation of a great philosopher is likely to provoke controversy. I have sometimes been obliged to ride roughshod over the finer feelings of scholars; I did not wish to interrupt the development of my general theme by defending in detail, or expounding in a less schematic way, the interpretations I have proposed. If this or that example is questioned, another may pass muster; a single illustration would suffice, logically, to make my point, since I am only concerned to show that certain reasoning-procedures do exist and are valid, not to establish their frequency. This is not a work of scholarship, although I have tried not to be unscholarly.
My theme is such that I have been obliged to make ex parte pronouncements on a large number of philosophical topics. I have had to go out on a limb in order to survey a broader prospect. If the limb is rotten I must bear the consequences; and I know, at least, that I have not always proved it to be sound. But if I have sometimes been . . .

Very Good 8.0 From 338 reviews
It is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed. Even though it is 3 star hotel, the service, staff, breakfast were all excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was small but very comfortable. Breakfast were very good. Location is very convenient and close to shopping area.
good hotel for the price! nice breakfast buffet !
I stayed there for just a transit from Narita airport to Haneda airport. The hotel amenity is much more than my expectations. At the lobby, I could have free coffee or tea.The receptionists are very polite & kind. The free breakfast was excellent(Japanese & western style). There is a direct bus to Haneda Airport from the Oimachi station , 5 minutes walk from the hotel.
Very convenient location and great staff. Room is a little small but comfortable, clean, and great for single traveler such as myself. Would definitely stay again.

Intro Best Booking Template WordPress
Within the previous ten years, I've used a lot of different WordPress themes and have been really disappointed. Up until recently, I had been using MyThemeShop, that was pretty excellent. But I had to do a great deal of customization to allow it to perform and operate the way I needed it to. A few of weeks ago I decided to give GeneratePress a try, and let me just say, it is undoubtedly the best WordPress theme I have found in 10 years. I was dismissed and am moving all my sites to GeneratePress. I'll go into exactly why in my comprehensive GeneratePress review under. And if you're wondering, yes I have attempted Genesis, Astra, OceanWP, Avada, X motif, Divi in addition to several other lightweight and heavier multicolored themes. Best Booking Template WordPress
To Get started, Click here to download GeneratePress.
GeneratePress Evaluation
GeneratePress is a free WordPress theme created by Tom Usborne, a programmer from Canada. I have really seen it for years from the WordPress repository. Most of you realize that I am pretty picky when it comes to web performance, so I tend to dismiss everything in the repository. Typically because a great deal of things on there is not that good, or not supported for long. However, in this circumstance, this was a mistake. The motif now has over half a million downloads, 80,000+ busy installs, 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 purchased the premium version. I could tell right off the bat, the developer was thinking precisely how I was imagining a theme should get the job done. And I will go into that more below, but let's first look at some of the features. I will be covering the superior edition of the subject, since it's worth very penny. Actually, Tom, in the event that you ever read this and so are seeing Scottsdale, Arizona, java on me.
Super lightweight and fast. Modular design allowing you to enable/disable things you do not want running. This is one of the biggest reasons I love GeneratePress.
Responsive, looks fantastic across all of the devices.
Schema built-in, for better outcomes in SERPs.
Impressive integration using the WordPress Customizer. I haven't been a fan of the customizer in the past, but Tom does it right.
Compatible with popular plugins, Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, EDD, BuddyPress, bbPress, and WPML. Great browser service back to IE8.
Additionally, it works great with the favorite fast-growing Elementor page builder. If you want to dive into even more customizations, these are a great combo. I've also read that people using Beaver Builder have experienced success.
Resumes prepared.
Font awesome built in.
Tons of hooks and filters which make it great for developers.
Excellent active service from the programmer. On average, 3 updates per month.
The Documentation is also incredible. Besides have good documentation on their website, the theme has been around long enough that what I wholeheartedly during the setup procedure was found inside a few seconds from their forum.
Diving Into GeneratePress
Now it is Time to the fun part! I always test a new theme right out of the box with no customizations to see how quickly the foundation is. This tells me a great deal of what I can expect by the time that I add everything for this. Running the inventory GeneratePress WordPress motif on Kinsta hosting clocked in at a whopping 265 ms load time. I was quite impressed.
One Thing I was concerned about with GeneratePress was that the modular design was going to produce a lot of big files, but this isn't the situation. You can tell that Tom literally worked hard on ensuring that every record packed in GeneratePress is as little as possible. With HTTP/2, the number of files is not as significant. But the dimensions is! Have a peek at a few 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
That is a programmer that cares about performance! And I've Seen the same throughout each the premium add-ons. They are literally as small as you can possibly get them. In reality, Font Awesome is most likely the biggest file contained. And that isn't 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'd call a modular layout. It is possible to activate/deactivate whatever you aren't using to ensure they do not load on your website. Since the co-developer of this perfmatters plugin which has a script supervisor built-in, I felt right at home for this. Everything should 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 characteristics of GeneratePress is that I no more have to use a young child theme. This makes my life much easier. No more editing my functions.php or header.php documents. I will literally update my GeneratePress theme this very moment rather than shed one customization. The hooks add-on certainly can help make it possible. It permits you to add custom code/PHP everywhere throughout your WordPress site. Best Booking Template WordPress
Other Things I Love About GeneratePress
On every Page/post you have a lot of alternatives. You are able to alter the sidebar layout and the footer widgets.
You Can quickly swap a page between the default option to a full width page, in addition to disable elements.
The WordPress customizer choices is really where GeneratePress really shines! Remember, lots of these choices are permitted by the premium add-ons. I can't show you everything, otherwise, we'd be here daily. But let me show you couple which really come in handy.
Responsive Columns
Another Plugin I highly recommend grabbing is your free Lightweight Grid Columns. Not to my surprise, this is also created by the same programmer as GeneratePress. It enables you a super easy way to incorporate responsive columns into any page or article. Characteristics include:
Desktop grid thickness
Tablet grid thickness
Mobile grid thickness
Add custom courses
Insert custom inline designs
Equal height columns
This is An example under:
You might want to Also catch his incredible WP Display Posts plugin too. 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 might also get it show last modified/updated posts, recent articles, etc.. I'm using the free version and it works great.
To Get started, Click here to download GeneratePress.
Sections Add-on
The Sections add-on in the premium edition of GeneratePress lets you do all sorts of things in terms of design. Consider it like a webpage builder without the bloat. GeneratePress is definitely not just for blogs! I am in fact utilizing GeneratePress to our ecommerce site (perfmatters.io) that is operating Easy Digital Downloads. Don't hesitate to check it out. However, as you can see below, it looks like a site.
Speed Tests
For those Of those that are regular readers, you likely did not even notice that I changed the entire theme that powers woorkup.com. It only took me about an hour to get GeneratePress to mimic my MyThemeShop motif which I had spent a year customizing. Here's a comparison under.
woorkup.com Old MyThemeShop Theme
My older MyThemeShop theme was pretty quickly, but I spent a lot of time scrutinizing it. In reality, I have gotten a lot of emails from you guys asking me to print all my customizations. My advice today is, just get GeneratePress!
woorkup.com New GeneratePress Theme
With the New GeneratePress motif I managed to achieve faster speeds and 600 fewer lines of code! And remember, I don't have a child motif. Each of the customizations were created using the wonderful GP hooks and snippets plugin (both CSS and PHP).
Like the WordPress theme I've running on woorkup? You're in luck. Tom asked if he can create a replica of woorkup to your new GeneratePress blog library. I'm happy to allow you to know that now you can install my woorkup theme in your own GeneratePress site with just a single click! It's called the Marketer motif. Get started with a great blog layout immediately.
brianjackson.io Old Array Theme's Theme
Additionally, I Moved within my personal website, brianjackson.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I had been using a theme from Array Themes. It is a pretty basic minimum site, as I do not use it for much. As you can see it already loaded pretty fast.
brianjackson.io New GeneratePress Theme
I was Able to duplicate the whole look 100% in GeneratePress in under an hour. And since you can see it loads faster! Amazing. I was even able to get rid of a few plugins which weren't needed because of GP.
forgemedia.io Old Array Theme's Theme
I also Moved over our organization site, forgemedia.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I had been using a motif from Array Themes. It is a pretty basic minimal site, as we simply use it to our LLC. Since you can see it loaded pretty quickly. Best Booking Template WordPress
forgemedia.io New GeneratePress Theme
I was Able to again move everything over and get it looking just how I needed it in under an hour. And as you can view it loads even faster! Amazing. I was able to eliminate a total of four plugins and it dropped my whole page burden 2x!
I can not express my Excitement about locating GeneratePress and I'm moving over all of my sites for this (which comprises several EDD e-commerce sites). Once I have my 9 sites all running in GP with no child topics, my life will be a breeze! The programmer has restored my faith in multi-purpose subjects , and that when done the correct way, can actually perform quicker.
And The best news isI now have a billion more choices to choose from than I did before.
What GeneratePress Is Great For…
GeneratePress Is the ideal alternative for performance-focused users that want to be able to personalize and control exactly how their site looks.
You Can make GeneratePress perform pretty much anything. And since GeneratePress has a focus on performance, the site that you build will have a great foundation to make it load fast.
Because Of that, those who build WordPress sites for a living love GeneratePress. They'll normally pair it with a WordPress page builder and use it for literally any type of website.
But GeneratePress Might Not Be A Good Fit If…
…you Need something that will instantly look perfect out of the box.
For Example, if you realize you wish to create a style blog, you may be happier choosing a market theme that's developed exclusively for fashion bloggers.
While GeneratePress is becoming a lot easier to use, thanks to its pre-built Website Library, GeneratePress still looks very barebones if 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 benefit of GeneratePress is how customizable it is, some users, especially casual users, don't like having to make those changes themselves.
GeneratePress Features Which Make It Unique
Here Are a few of the particular characteristics that explain why GeneratePress is so common.
Lots Of Customization Options In The Real-Time WordPress Customizer
Beyond Functionality, another place where GeneratePress does well is its customization choices.
GeneratePress Uses the WordPress Customizer for customization, which can be convenient as you'll be able to see all of the changes that you create in real time.
The Free variant of GeneratePress gives you adequate options, but should you have GeneratePress Premium, you will be able to customize pretty much all about your site.
For Example, if you go in the Design region, you can configure detailed settings for yourown:
- Header — you can move your header round and change its own styling
- Navigation — GeneratePress gives you two different navigation options, including sticky menus
- Sidebar design — you can utilize a Couple of sidebars
- Blog post design — such as featured image size, metadata, etc..
- Footer layout — like the number of widgets to include
Similarly, That the Typography place lets you control the font for every single element on your site, including buttons:
And You also get a thorough region to control the color of each and every element on your website.
All Whatsoever, GeneratePress will provide you much more customization choices in the WordPress Customizer than most other themes. This amount of detail might be a bit overwhelming if you're a newcomer. But as soon as you understand the way the settings come together, you will have full control on how your website looks.
Optimized Performance And Quick Page Load Times
Across All its attributes, GeneratePress consistently includes a focus on exceptional performance and tidy code. The entire theme is less than 30 kB, and it will be about as little as you are ever going to find for a WordPress theme. Even most other optimized WordPress themes are still 200+ kB. And a few badly coded themes can even surpass 1 MB!
GeneratePress Also has no code dependencies, which will help you avoid the leave blocking error that Google Pagespeed Insights often mentions.
Put That together, and you obtain a superfast-loading theme. How fast? To give you a sense, I ran a little test.
First, I set up an empty website using a haphazard popular WordPress.org motif (Envo Magazine). After analyzing its performance with Pingdom, it:
- Had a performance grade of 77
- Loaded in 1.05 moments
- Had a page size of 243.9 kB
- Had 15 asks
That is Not bad at all! But GeneratePress can do better.
Next, I triggered GeneratePress on the exact same test website without altering anything else. Here's how GeneratePress failed:
- Had a performance grade of 87, 10 points better
- Loaded in 666 ms, ~37% quicker
- Had a page size of 26.8 kB, ~90% smaller
- Had 9 asks, ~40% fewer
If You do the exact same test with other themes, you'll continue to find that GeneratePress is among those fastest-loading WordPress topics in existence. Best Booking Template WordPress
Other Helpful Premium Extensions, Plus Much Modular Approach
Past Giving you more design controls from the WordPress Customizer, GeneratePress Premium comes with a lot of other useful features like:
- Elements — a unique feature which allows you create custom 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 building. It permits you to create different"sections" onto a page, each with their own design and column settings.
To Stay lightweight, GeneratePress also provides you a modular interface where you can select and choose what features you want to activate.
That Way, you don't have to slow your site down for a feature that you're never going to use.
Pre-Made Starter Sites Make It Easier To Design Your Site
In The last, you had to build GeneratePress websites from a blank canvas regardless of what, which made the theme difficult for casual users to install.
Earlier In 2018, though, the programmer added a new Site Library attribute for GeneratePress Premium users which lets you easily import any among the 25+ pre-built demonstration websites .
You Can import them right from your WordPress dashboard.
Yes — this site still uses GeneratePress! All I did was click a couple buttons to import a demo site.
Page-Level Settings Give You Detailed Control Over Every Bit Of Content
With Most themes, each page and post will use the same configurations for the most part. You may have some custom templates or formats — but you don't have very much control beyond that.
GeneratePress Changes that by giving you a brand new Layout meta name box for each and every page and post:
You Can utilize this meta box to:
- Change how many sidebars your website uses, or the sidebar orientation (such as altering the sidebar from right to left)
- Choose how many footer widgets to utilize
- Disable certain components, like your header, navigation menu, article featured image, post title, or footer
- Produce a special"container" to your page builder
Where These controls would be the most useful is if you're using a WordPress site builder.
By Disabling certain components, you are able to create the correct baseline for your own page builder design, which makes it easy to create custom content as needed. Best Booking Template WordPress
GeneratePress Replies: Cheap And Works On Unlimited Sites
The Heart GeneratePress theme can be obtained at no cost at WordPress.org.
That said, If you are seriously interested in using GeneratePress, I feel you should buy the GeneratePress Premium plugin, as that is what makes the theme so elastic. The free version does not give you almost as many configurations from the WordPress Customizer. And you'll also miss out on the premade Site Library.
GeneratePress Premium can be still fairly affordable. It costs just $39.95, and that gives you use on unlimited websites . You'll also get a 40% discount if you would like to renew to keep on receiving support and updates following the initial year (you can, of course, keep using GeneratePress after the initial year without renewing — you just won't receive any more upgrades ).
When You consider the normal premium WordPress theme will often cost around $60, GeneratePress offers a great price.
As I said, I don't believe GeneratePress is for everybody.
If You desire a niche-specific motif, you can probably save time by purchasing a theme that satisfies your needs for your niche from day one.
However, If you're willing to spend time changing preferences, then GeneratePress' style controls give you the flexibility to flip it into any type of WordPress website. Or, you may even be able to find a starter site that fulfills your needs to save a little time.
Additionally, It's among those 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 good decision.
If You combine it with fast-loading hosting, so you should have no difficulty making your site load in under one minute. Best Booking Template WordPress

- Studio9, in partnership with Blik Graphics, has created a line of iPhone skins and cases, laptop skins, as well as wall art. These three in particular will show of your love for anatomy while you sit on the train and play Angry Birds. $15.
- HeartPro, one of the many creations by 3D4medical, may make as a nice study aid for on the go. 3D views of the heart can be explored and when you think you're ready quizzes will test your aptitude. $9.99 for the iPhone, $17.99 for the iPad. The company has a number of free demos you can explore as well.
- Another Studio9 piece available for the iPhone, laptop, or your wall. $30 for the laptop skin, you can order for a range of laptop sizes. No one can ignore hot pink skulls, no matter how subtle the pattern might be.
- Medica, an iPad app by @radical.media, is a visual reminder of medical history. They boast over 200 images from 30 books, ranging from the earliest depicted dissections to modern brain scans. While it may be hard to give a gift that is free, a gentle reminder to that special someone to check it out will be much appreciated.
Sorry Android users, but beautiful tech has yet to come to us. Trust me, I will be vocal when that day comes.

In a bold, eye-opening editorial in the March 2010 issue of the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Harvard Professor, Beryl Benacerraf, MD, urges the medical community to use ultrasound instead of Computed Tomography (CT) as the first-line imaging test for better diagnosis capability in the evaluation of acute female pelvic and lower abdominal conditions. In the editorial, Why Has Computed Tomography Won and Ultrasound Lost the Market Share of Imaging for Acute Pelvic Conditions in the Female Patient?, Dr Benacerraf raises the question:
"How have we evolved to ordering the most expensive imaging technique first for these patients, only to be followed frequently by a far less costly ultrasound examination to clarify the CT findings? Ultrasound is the established modality of choice to evaluate the female pelvis, so why do patients with pelvic masses or pain get a CT scan? In my opinion, doing a CT scan first for female patients with lower abdominal pain is dangerous and wasteful, a drain of much-needed health care dollars."
Citing a recent study from the New England Journal of Medicine regarding the vast use of imaging procedures that involved radiation exposure, Dr Benacerraf emphasizes the fact that "radiation exposure is cumulative, and each exposure adds incrementally to the long-term danger of cancer". Alternatively, ultrasound is safe, radiation-free, and most frequently has superior diagnostic capability when evaluating patients with lower abdominal conditions. The advancement of ultrasound technology has resulted in machines that are less operator-dependent with the ability to produce images that can be evaluated in multiple views with 3D volume imaging.
Dr Benacerraf concludes "It may be time for ultrasound to regain its rightful place in the evaluation of acute female pelvic and lower abdominal conditions and save the population from the dangerous radiation exposure and excessive cost of starting a workup with CT as a first-line imaging test."
Physicians weigh in on this subject online through the AIUM's Journal Club discussion this month at http://www.aiumcommunities.org/group/aiumjournalclub. The full text editorial may also be accessed through the journal club discussion.
Beryl Benacerraf, MD, is a clinical professor of radiology and obstetrics and gynecology at Harvard Medical School, and she is the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, the official publication of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine.

'Captain America: The First Avenger' Premieres in LA [PHOTOS]
Newest superhero movie Captain America: The First Avenger had its Hollywood world premieres on Tuesday. Chris Evans, the star of the movie, appeared in fashionable glasses, despite the fact that a working superhero would never, ever be bespectacled.
The film also stars Hayley Atwell, who looked extremely beautiful at the premier, and Tommy Lee Jones.
The premier and red carpet photo shoot happened at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood.
Teen sensation Vanessa Hudgens arrived at the premier with a new haircut, a short pixie cut similar to that of Happy Potter star Emma Watson.
Also at the event were Neal McDonough, Kevin Smith, Robert Downey Jr. and Samuel L. Jackson.
The Captain America movie is about a solider who volunteers for a top secret project that turns him into a freedom-loving super soldier in a tight blue costume.
The movie opens in theaters on Friday.

In a time of war, they organized a community actvitiy
We pass by the deserted pools in the middle of our streets everyday, neglected, they became dumpsters. We put a plan together, organized with the municipality for the tools needed and we packed our bags to do the work on Wednesday; When to our surprise all Tuesday's night is pouring rain, but nothing discourages "Big As the sky" group, they took it to the streets, and went all in. Setting a bright example people passing by came to our aid, a neighbor shared her cooking for lunch with us, a man went and got some friends of his and assisted in the cleaning… we were so proud.

- Start: Thursday 23 January - 19:30
- Auditorium: Great Hall
Based on the iconic Whoopi Goldberg movie, Sister Act is a feel-amazing musical comedy that has audiences jumping to their feet!
When disco diva Deloris Van Cartier witnesses a gangland murder, she is placed into a witness protection programme in the one place the cops are sure she won't be a found: a convent.
Disguised as a nun, Deloris jazzes up the nuns' choir, turning them into '70s disco-gospel superstars, but finds herself at odds with a straight-laced Mother Superior. And then the gang finds out where she's hiding…
Why is this show such a hit? Because it teams up the writers of TV's Cheers with 8-time Oscar winner Alan Menken, the composer behind Disney's The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast as well as the wonderful Little Shop of Horrors.
Filled with powerful gospel and disco music, outrageous dancing and a truly moving story, Sister Act will leave audiences breathless.

Work to Further Improve Cumb...
Work to Further Improve Cumberland Avenue to Begin July 29, 2019
Work will begin Monday, July 29, on the Cumberland Avenue Intersection Improvements Project that will replace traffic signals and curb cuts, update street lighting and also create new crosswalks.
The nearly $1.4 million project is funded as part of a contract between the City and the University of Tennessee, with UT funding half the cost. The project is expected to be completed in winter 2020.
"It is always exciting when the University of Tennessee and the City of Knoxville are able to jointly collaborate on a project that benefits the entire community, which improves the aesthetics of Cumberland Avenue and also greatly enhances safety in this area," said Jeff Maples, UT Senior Associate Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration.
The project will replace traffic signals and curb cuts at the following intersections along Cumberland Avenue: Phillip Fulmer Way, Circle Drive and 13th and 11th streets.
Additionally, new decorative crosswalks and new street lights will be installed along Cumberland Avenue between 16th and 11th streets.
The crosswalks and other improvements in the project will match the aesthetics of the completed Cumberland Avenue Streetscape Project. The traffic signals will be hung on mast arms rather than span wires, which means fewer overhead wires and much improved aesthetics. Mast arms are also less vulnerable to wind and weather.
Drivers are encouraged to be aware of occasional lane closures on Cumberland Avenue between 16th and 11th streets during the construction project. Signs will be posted in advance of any lane closures.
This latest project is part of ongoing efforts to better connect UT and downtown Knoxville along the Cumberland Avenue corridor.
A parking agreement between UT and the City that began in 2018 allows public parking in UT's Terrace Avenue Garage in the evenings and on weekends on all levels of the garage, which has 1,000 parking spots. The public parking helps fill a growing parking need in the Cumberland Avenue area for merchants and the general public.
Knoxville Area Transit has served UT since the free trolley system began in the late 1980s. UT subsidizes a portion of the trolley services.
Contractor for the intersection improvements project is Southern Constructors Inc.

Client Center: Library Settings
Product: 360 Core Client Center
How do we work with Library Settings in the Client Center?
Libraries use the Library Settings features to enter library address and contact information, URLs, IPs, date formats, and more. Generally this information only needs to be entered once and is infrequently updated by libraries.
Library Settings is accessible from the Client Center Home page under Manage Your Library:
You may also watch a short instructional video about Library Settings in 360 Core: Video Tutorials under the section titled Common Client Center Administrative Tasks.
Each page in the Library Settings section is editable. For any page, click Edit in the upper-right side to enter or edit information. Be sure to click Save to save your changes. Changes will take effect for your users after the daily profile data refresh.
Here is a view of the Library Information section:
Click a subject in this list to jump to that section of information later on this page:
Library Info
Library URLs
Here is a view of the Library URLs section:
This view consists of the following options:
Library/Institution URLs
Library URL and Institution URL are optional fields. Enter your library URL as well as the link to your institution's web site in these fields. Having access to those URLs can help Support when trying to resolve an issue with your profile.
OPAC Information
To add your library's catalog information, first select your OPAC Type and then add the URL to access your Catalog.
We also encourage you to include a URL to access an individual record from your catalog in the OPAC Record URL field. This provides us with an item-level linking syntax that will be used in Summon, and is also useful for our Support team when creating custom links to your OPAC in 360 Link.
Authentication Type and Proxy URL
Select your library's Authentication Type and add the proxy URL. Adding your library's proxy information to these fields will prepend the proxy URL to the title and database links in the E-Journal Portal and the article and journal links in 360 Link, as well as article-level links in Summon. You can suppress this on a database-by-database level if necessary.
Please note an Authentication Type must be selected in the proxy setup or the proxy URL will not apply in Summon. If none of the available options seem to apply, use Custom or Fully Coded URL (for Athens clients).
For additional details, see the following topics:
For Summon users, a change to the Proxy URL field is unlike other Library Settings that take effect for your users after the daily profile data refresh; a Proxy URL change will take effect in Summon when the Summon Index is updated. This likely means the change will go live in a few days. You can, however, immediately test your updated proxy URL by previewing title-level links in the Client Center.
Link Resolver Product and Base URL
If your library uses a link-resolver product, select the product and provide the URL. The link resolver information is used by Summon, and is otherwise informational only. If you use 360 Link, the URL will be populated for you. For more, see Getting Started with 360 Link. For 360 Link, the Link Resolver Base URL should be provided to your referring sources for linking through 360 Link to full-text content
E-Journal Portal URL
If you want patrons to be able to access the E-Journal Portal, this is the URL you will provide (or link to from your library's web pages).
Force HTTPS At All Times
Select this option If you want to enforce encryption and ensure that E-Journal Portal 2.0 and 360 Link 2.0 do not display mixed content in the browser.
Library/Institutions IPs
Add your library's IPs by clicking Add and adding the IP address or range of addresses. Enter full IP addresses or ranges in these fields, like this: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
For more on entering your library or institution IP addresses and/or ranges, click here.
Other Settings
Depending on the Serials Solutions Services you have you will see different fields on this page:
The Local Currency field is used by 360 Resource Manager and 360 Counter for costs.
The Date Format controls how dates are displayed to your patrons in 360 Search, 360 Counter, and 360 Resource Manager.
The Fiscal or Calendar Year Begins is used by 360 Counter and 360 Resource Manager to define the beginning of the year for costs. This is set to January by default, and you'll need to ask us if you need to change it. See more on the Fiscal Year Setting.
Serials Solutions Permissions
If your library has 360 Counter or 360 Resource Manager, you can choose to block Serials Solutions from accessing some or all of your library's data.

As we have seen first wild card entry on Bigg Boss season 12 who might bring a fresh air to the show, there are few names and suggestions we would love to see on the show.
Since Sreesanth is there how can Harbhajan Sing be far behind? Both these cricketers have a controversial past as during an IPL match Harbhajan has slapped Sree after losing the match to his team. It would be interesting to see both these cricketers competing against each other on the show.
In the light of allegations against Nana Patekar, she will be a right fit. Seeing her other celebrities will also come forward and start Indian MeeToo Version.
As Sunny Leone got fame with Bigg Boss we would like to see Shanti Dynamite in the house too. If Sunny can start afresh career in Bollywood after Bigg Boss so can Shanti. Apart from providing lots of masala to the participants as well as the audience.
Comedian-Actor-Producer Kapil Sharma has many controversies credited to his name and he can come clean and present his side of the story to the audience.
Controversial Self-Godwoman Radhe Maa will also be a great asset to the show. As this season there is no Godman or Godwoman so Radhe Maa can fill in.
Bhuvan Bam has gained more than 10 million subscribers on Youtube. He is the most loved Indian Youtuber and can bring a smile on your faces amidst high drama in the house.
Rebel Aam Aadmi Party leader Dr. Kumar Vishwas should also be the part of Bigg Boss 12. He was supposed to be part of season 8 but things didn't materialise.
Veteran Bollywood actress Mahima Chaudhry can bring the glamour on the show. The former Miss India is out of the scene for a while and it will be interesting to see her back on screen.
As this season we have seen couples on the show so this famous Pakistani couple will be a great asset to the show. As their onscreen chemistry will get high TRPs for the show, they can also explain their relationship status.
Indian Television's darling Jennifer Winget can do wonders to the show's TRP. She is the most loved Indian celebrity in the Television Industry.
Well if TRP would be the criteria then Kubra Sait will definitely serve the purpose as she has performed exceptionally in Netflix's original series 'Sacred Games' as Cuckoo. She got into the skin of the character so much that her fans are asking her about her real gender on social media.

Today is Chris' birthday. Chris is not only a friend, he is also the head of my workplace's IT department. Chris is a great get-together, fun, open-minded, accomodative fellow; he's my PC guru, master of all 0s and 1s, my Gandalf in the realm of computer programming for 17 years.
I was but a a humble typist back when we first met. He had come to upgrade our DOS based Volkswriter word processor to Windows 3.1. and Microsoft Word 2.0. I ooohed and aaaahed at how easy it was to to add headers and footers and by Jove! it could add footnotes! I was the first typist (we were three) to fully appreciate this new innovation by some guy named Gates. (And... it EVEN had minesweeper, awesome.!)
Chris probably realized early on that he would have his hands full with me when I first fiddled with the control panel making the work page AND the lettering white and then freaking out that I couldn't see WTF I was typing. He was called in that day for emergency PC mouth-to-mouth. He looked at the screen, looked at shamefaced me, raised an interrogative eyebrow and mouthed the momentous query that was to follow us throughout our friendship and collaboration. What. did. you. do. to. it?
Many a time he has come to my rescue. Lost files, misguided mouse clicks, unsuccessful OS formats, you name it I've pulled my hair out over it however, my friend waved his wand and made it all better. Chris first introduced me to the phrase "there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers". Encouraged by this motto, I've bombarded him with any silly computer thing that came to mind. He always answers.
So, in light of your birthday Chris (Friday the 13th is a bummer, I assume) I dedicate this post to you. I thank you for all the times you could have strangled me - but didn't, all the the times you could have just told me to "look it up" - but didn't, all the times we've sat over some machine and crossed our fingers it would come back to life - most did.
Happy Birthday!
