Benefits of early childhood education
High quality early childhood education and care gives children the best start in life. It provides important opportunities to learn and develop. Early childhood education and care can help your child make friends, develop independence and learn new routines. It also supports their transition to school. Use the ECE finder tool to find quality early childhood education and care services in NSW.
Helping brain development in young children
Children's brains are influenced by both their genes and their environment. Babies are born ready to learn, with more than one million neural connections forming every second during the first few years of life. The early years are important, as how the brain grows is strongly influenced by what's happening in a child's environment and their interactions with the people around them.
Vision and hearing pathways develop first, followed by early language skills and higher cognitive functions. A child's vocabulary often quadruples between ages two and four. These connections become more complex over time as children grow, and influence brain development to create positive learning behaviours from an early age.
Research shows that children who participate in quality preschool programs are more likely to arrive at school equipped with the social, cognitive and emotional skills they need to help them to continue learning. These benefits extend well beyond primary school. Higher levels of educational success, employment and social skills have all been linked to moderate levels of participation in quality early childhood education.
- [Child] Early childhood education is a place where children grow to learn and learn to grow.
- Play is the basis for a child's future development, representational play, the imaginary play. These foundations set up that child for adult life.
- [Educator] and purple.
- [Child 2] Purple.
- Early education is crucial for these areas of development because it gives the children opportunity and builds the foundations that are needed for future success and health and learning outcomes. Now we have the research to show that a child's brain is 90% developed by the age of five. And in that time, the first 2000 days framework, there is so much development that has to go on. Early education has to be the key. These centres are gold for development because they do offer these opportunities for all areas of a child's development, fine motor skills, with drawing, colouring in and painting, for gross motor skills, for jumping and playing and dancing around, as well as their social and emotional skills.
- [Woman] How can we help Owen to get that to stand up all by itself?
- [Melissa] So they are learning to be with others, they are learning to work with others and in groups, they are learning to share, take turns, listen to directions, people giving them boundaries and these are really foundational for the future. So confidence and independence is a big skill for a child to transition to school with. And if they've had that exposure to these experiences in early childhood education, that will certainly help that transition into the school environment We work in partnership, so if a parent does have a concern about their child, that concern is taken seriously and the child and family health nurse will escalate. We've got questionnaires where we check their development in more detail and make referrals.
The importance of the first 2000 days of life
The NSW Government has a suite of child development initiatives to improve the lives and experience of parents and families in the first 2000 days of their child's life and better support all children to achieve the best start in life.
Check out the step by step guides for parents and carers of young children in NSW who have not yet started primary school.
The NSW Department of Education has also launched a public awareness campaign 'Grow to Learn, Learn to Grow'. The campaign showcases the benefits of early childhood education and provide families with the information they need to enrol their children in quality early childhood education services..
Making friends
From the ages of three to five, most children want to play with others their age, and can think about the feelings of others at an initial level. At this age, children learn how to play with others, and might have a 'best friend'.
In early childhood education and care, children are encouraged to share and play with their peers. Through these interactions they learn to develop important interpersonal qualities such as empathy and cooperation which will help them get along with others in preschool and beyond.
By spending time with their peers, children learn to include ideas from others in their play and start to understand each other's feelings. Young children are naturally egocentric, so learning skills such as empathy can be challenging, but the good news is they can learn a lot from watching and interacting with their peers. These early years social skills can help your child develop friendships throughout their whole life.
- I like painting and doing all of the creating stuff.
- I like stories because they have different pictures in them.
- I like playing with the pillow.
- Going to the sand pit.
- Playing with lego.
- We have an opportunity at this age to be able to ignite their passion for learning so that when they go to school, the foundation is laid and they already want to know things, they already want to be engaged in education.
- Look how big this is Hiro.
- Yeah.
- My favourite friends are Isaac and Imogen.
- Rosalyn and Ayushi.
- I play with Niro and Remy.
- I would definitely say the educators are a bit like extended family. I feel like we have really open dialogue with them. We have really nice conversations.
- I would tell them you should go to preschool instead of staying home. 'Cause you're gonna make new friends!
Developing independence
For many children, participating in early childhood education and care is the first significant amount of time they spend away from their family. Being in a new environment, away from home, can help children to build their confidence and discover their identity.
As part of a child's growing independence, they develop key self-regulation skills between the ages of three and five years old. These skills may include concentrating, sharing and taking turns. For example, toddlers may show self-regulation by waiting to play with a toy, or by paying attention to someone who is talking to them.
Self-regulation skills are important to help children develop confidence and independence, allowing them to grow and understand who they are, and to form friendships. Parents, carers and early childhood educators are all important role models for demonstrating healthy methods of self-regulation.
- The children have had a huge amount of independence where we don't actually get to put the school bags away anymore and the children do.
- He's just grown in so many ways... confidence, socially.
- And she has started self-feeding and she now knows how to share because what this centre had provided her is confidence
- We feel that it's important to start at this ground level to prepare her for the future.
- It's really important. It does provide students with a lot of foundational skills that they'll need to learn in their literacy, numeracy, socialisation, and collaborative skills when they move into primary school.
- Lots of other learning stuff that we wouldn't do at home that they would do here.
- Gave her more opportunity to explore things and she's more creative and more curious about the world.
- She's showing that she's very musical as well, which is something that we never taught her.
- [Wolski] The importance of students having the ability to interact with students from other cultures can't be understated. It's very important for them to build those relationships with those students.
- [Christina] I think it's really important when looking for a preschool there is a quality rating system.
- [Darna] It will give you the ability to make a really good decision about where to send your child.
- [Christina] It's more of a holistic rating system where it's looking at the environment of the school, the leadership of the teachers.
- The educators here are highly trained. They're professionals. They're also passionate educators.
- [Christopher] And they have what they do at heart and we feel very much at home with them.
- [Rachel] And I've seen so many kids grow here. They have wonderful, wonderful teachers here.
Learning new routines
By attending early education and care, your child can learn to adapt to a new routine outside the home. Routines can positively influence a child's emotional and cognitive development and knowing what to expect encourages them to feel secure and comfortable.
Routines can help children manage their expectations of their environment, and reduce problematic behaviours such as temper tantrums. When developing daily routines, early childhood teachers and educators will consider a mix of activities that are active/passive, indoor/outdoor, and child-directed/adult-directed.
Routines are also planned according to children's ages to make time for naps, incorporate any individual requirements or medical needs, and to accommodate their attention spans and other aged-based needs.
Supporting transition to school
Early childhood education supports your child's transition to primary school. It prepares children in both informal and formal ways, such as engaging in a range of Transition to School activities. Children who experience a positive transition to school are more likely to feel comfortable, relaxed and motivated to learn. This helps them form positive relationships with others, both children and educators, and develop a sense of belonging within the school.
- [Child] Early childhood education, is the place where children grow to learn and learn to grow.
- I've been a teacher for seven or eight years. What I love most particularly in early education is the growth that you can see in the children from the start of the year to the end of the year.
- Even a koala?
- I think the benefits of early childhood education from the point of view of the kindergarten teachers is they are socially and emotionally in a better frame of mind to undertake all the learning activities that we put out for them. The first 2000 days of life is really important for young children because 90% of their brain development occurs. The attendance in early childhood education settings gives them that exposure when they come to primary school to really have that good foundational skills when they move into formal education in kindergarten and beyond. Okay, so have a look. This is where you're going to come to kindergarten next year. When they first attend in term one students are so excited to be at big school. It can be quite overwhelming for them, but I think if they've had a quality transition to school program the year before, it really pays dividends for term one for kindergarten teachers and the classroom in general.
- Really helped with independence for all of the kids here.
- Where we don't actually get to put the school bags away anymore and the children do.
- Going to the bathroom was another issue for him, he was not confident and shy but he had a good time when the teachers have taught him how to do few things.
- [Matt] I think the students that had been through early childhood education definitely come to school with a lot more confidence. It shows in the way that they undertake those learning activities and they can collaborate with their peers.
- But also to be in an environment where he has a lot of different friends that share similar interests but they can also enjoy the differences as well.
- Which one is dark green?
- This is dark green and this is dark green.
- So if any of my friends had a four year old son or daughter my advice would be to attend a formal early childhood setting and look at the quality rating of the centre, to go in and take a look and see what kind of activities are being run in there.

SpaceX Falcon Heavy core rocket lost after toppling in transit
After sticking the landing for the first time, SpaceX's center core booster is felled by an Atlantic swell.
On the second flight of the Falcon Heavy last Thursday, SpaceX rocketed into history. For the first time, it nailed the landing of all three rocket boosters, including the center core, which calmly positioned itself on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.
However, the return journey for the core was a little more brutal than expected. The center core toppled over in transit due to "8- to 10-foot swells" and was ultimately lost to the Atlantic, according to a report by The Verge.
"Due to rough sea conditions, SpaceX's recovery team was unable to secure the center core booster for its return trip to Port Canaveral." Elon Musk's spaceflight company told The Verge. "The safety of our team always takes precedence."
The Falcon Heavy's center core is a modified version of the nine-engine Falcon 9 booster rocket. When a Falcon 9 lands on the droneship, it's attached and stabilized by a device known as the 'octagrabber' that grabs on to the rocket to keep it upright. Falcon Heavy's core doesn't have the same setup so it could not be nailed down. A satirical Twitter account set up for the Octagrabber jokingly remarked it had "nothing to do" with the loss.
The SpaceX droneship is currently on its way back from the Atlantic.
SpaceX doesn't expect future missions to be affected by the core's loss. Falcon Heavy is set to fly again later this year, carrying payloads for the Department of Defence, NASA and the Planetary Society.
SpaceX didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

In Darwin's scheme of things, the Victorian rich were the perfect expression of evolution. In perfecting itself, nature started with amoebas, and moved on through dinosaurs and flying lizards, fish, fowl and mammals until it came to the apes, so obviously like the poor savages of Tierra del Fuego or Papua New Guinea. Above the savages were the southern Europeans, above them the British and, at the top of the evolutionary pecking order, sat the great families of England, the Darwins, the Arnolds, the Huxleys and the Wedgwoods, who all intermarried and were obviously cleverer than anyone else.
If these types of remarks had been made about any Victorian other than Darwin, the combox would not be Days of Rage.* That shows us the extent to which Darwinism is a substitute for religion for its many zealots.
Discussing Darwin's dependence on Malthus, Wilson says the unsayable yet again:
Once the Napoleonic wars were over, the population of Europe soared. So did the food supply. Instances of starvation occurred most notoriously in Ireland in the 1840s, where the selfish landlords, many of them absentee, insisted on exporting huge quantities of grain while the peasant population, dependent on the potato, died of hunger. The Westminster government was scandalously late in reacting, partly because it believed that the potato famine was a Malthusian "solution" to the "problem" of a large, anti-English, Roman Catholic population. In other words, Ireland was not a demonstration of the truth of Malthusianism, it was a victim of it. We find similar, and much more alarming examples, later in history, when Darwin's ideas were used to justify genocide and mass murder. More.
Yes, it's all true but wasn't a polite thing to dwell on. The fact that Wilson is allowed to express these thoughts in an establishment venue seems like part of a gradual change in which evolution is no longer a synonym for Darwinism. Darwinism, along with its eponymous founder, warts and all, will just have to find their place in the system like everything else.
Zealots naturally feel that the End of All Things is at hand, as the comments make clear*; others will just shrug and adjust.
* For example, "Sorry to add to all this, but given the review of Wilson's book in the New Scientist, I am angry that The Times even allowed Wilson the space to publish this. This is the sort of article that should be subject to peer review. Does The Times have nothing in place to vet controversial pieces like this." The commenter seems not to realize the newspapers have thriven on controversy since they were invented. Offering a point of view different from that of New Scientist is conventional in an open society. But it's not clear that Darwinians, protectors of the single greatest idea anyone ever had, have much of a commitment to an open society.

High dudgeon over A. N. Wilson's new book on Darwin Like we said, plenty of time for Darwinians to beat their iron rice bowls into hatchets.

Cruise Shipping Asia-Pacific – a conference and trade show focusing on the emerging Asian-Pacific cruise industry – announced today the International Cruise Council Australasia (ICCA) will give its exclusive support to the event.
The ICCA joins Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), which has also pledged exclusive backing, and the Asia Cruise Association (ACA) and the Florida Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) as supporters of Cruise Shipping Asia-Pacific 2012, which will be held at the Marina Bay Sands, Singapore on September 17-18, 2012.
ICCA General Manager Brett Jardine said the ICCA was pleased to be supporting UBM Live's Cruise Shipping Asia-Pacific.
"Cruise Shipping Asia- Pacific is important to the industry because it allows cruise industry members from around the world to get together to discuss their needs and opportunities," Mr. Jardine said. "Cruising is booming in Australia and we continue to see more ships based here and visiting our shores. At this year's Cruise Shipping Asia-Pacific event we will be able to reach and educate an entire new demographic about our region."
Mr. Jardine said the Council's latest industry report showed that Australian cruise passenger numbers reached a new high of 623, 294 in 2011.
"This represents a record 34 percent annual increase – the largest recorded by any key world cruise market last year," Mr. Jardine said.
The support of the Council, which represents 27 member cruise lines, underscores the growing importance of the Australasian cruise marketplace in the global cruise industry.
"The ICCA support is vitally important to the Cruise Shipping Asia-Pacific event," said Daniel Read, Portfolio Director of UBM Live's Cruise Shipping Group. "With a 23 percent increase in Australians taking cruise holidays in the last 5 years, it is apparent that the region is a stronghold for the cruise industry. We are delighted to be working with the ICCA to bring even more awareness and education about, and into, the region."
Along with lending their exclusive support to the event, the ICCA will be debuting travel agent training during the conference.
The ICCA will offer two training modules, each two hours long, to provide tools and techniques for agents from Asia and around the world. The first module, Introduction to Cruising, will focus on why people like to cruise, how to use brochures and the internet as sales tools, and how to make cruise reservations. The second module, Cruise Holidays Selling Techniques, will highlight the sales distribution channels of the cruise industry and work through the eight steps of the cruise sales process.

Roger Federer says athletes need to know if Tokyo Olympics are going ahead
A petition calling for the games to be cancelled has been signed more than 350,000 people, throwing fresh doubt on the games.
Saturday 15 May 2021 14:39, UK
Tennis ace Roger Federer has called on organisers of the Tokyo Olympics to tell athletes if the event is still going ahead, adding he is still in two minds as to whether to compete.
The event was delayed by a year, and is now slated to go ahead between 23 July and 8 August, but uncertainty remains around the games, amid the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic.
Japan is battling a surge in infections, with a state of emergency around the capital Tokyo being extended until at least the end of May.
"It's difficult," Federer told Switzerland's Leman Bleu television.
"We're not hearing much. That makes me think the games will happen, even if I've heard that lots of people in Tokyo are against the games.
"Honestly I don't know what to think. I would love to play in the Olympics, win a medal for Switzerland, that would make me so proud.
"But if that doesn't happen due to the situation, I would be the first to understand.
"But I think what the athletes need is a decision: is it happening or isn't it?
"At the moment, we have the impression that it will. We know it's a fluid situation. And also you can also decide as an athlete if you want to go. If you feel there's a lot of resistance, maybe it's better not to go. I don't know."
A petition calling for the games to be cancelled has been signed by more than 350,000 people, and some towns have dropped plans to host Olympics athletes during the event, throwing fresh doubt on the games.
Naomi Osaka and Kei Nishikori, Japan's top ranked tennis players, have also shared concerns about the games going ahead, saying that holding the Olympics while the pandemic is still ongoing still needs to be carefully discussed.

There are a few garage door repair and maintenance tasks that a homeowner can do without involving a professional. However, Garage Door Roller Replacement should be solely handled by a qualified technician because of the technicality and risks involved. There is a lot of information and tutorials guiding people on how to do the replacement by their own so as to save cash. It is however not always about the cutting on cost; let me explain to you in details why should Call a Professional for your garage door roller replacement.
Safety measures: Garage doors are very heavy and therefore should be handled by professionals. Just think about the damage that can occur if the door accidentally falls on you or your property. To avoid such accidents, it is wise to leave this task to those who have been licensed to handle such jobs. The technician is trained on positioning during the replacement, the tools to use and how to handle complications if they occur.
Cost effective in the long-run: One of the reasons that many homeowners decide to do some garage door repair tasks all by themselves is to save on cost. I know everyone is trying to reduce their expenses and it is not a bad idea. But just count on the cost that you shall incur afterwards when you replace the garage door rollers yourself but fail to do it right. There shall always be issues with the garage door balance, broken springs due to excessive strains and other malfunctions. The cost of fixing all these problems will be higher than that of hiring a professional to replace the rollers.
Quality: When you hire a professional to do the task, you are assured of quality work being done. Garage door installation can be quite expensive finances and thus proper maintenance should be done for the garage door to be durable. Hiring a professional also assures that your garage door will not suffer more damages because the person handling it knows what he or she is doing.
Efficiency: Most of us are so busy making it next to impossible to create time for tasks such as garage door roller replacement. The garage door repair companies are there to cater for such clients' needs and it is their fulltime job to serve you. You can therefore contact them and have them fix the door even if you are not at home.
Experience: The experience of the professionals is a good reason to contact them for the task. This is because they have dealt with many garage door brands which place them in a better position to handle different tasks perfectly. Their experience allows them to offer advice on the best parts to use like the Garage Door Opener to suit your needs.
It is evident that garage door roller replacement should be handled by professionals. Garage Door Weather Seal Replacement is also technical and should be done by a professional. The homeowner can however do some simple garage door maintenance tasks like cleaning, lubrication and regular inspection without external help.

We featured Andrew's low-mileage motorcycle the other day and today we have his Crown Vic. Like the Honda, this isn't the most sought after after classic, but it's doubtful that you'll be able to find a nicer example. Ford hadn't used the Crown Victoria name since 1956, but in 1980 they decided to stick it on their top-of-the-line LTD. They probably had no idea sub-model name would go on to become more recognizable than the actual model itself.
This particular Crown Vic is a one-owner car with only 90k miles. Andrew claims that the cars' white exterior and wine-red interior are both flawless. The price is steep at $8k, but all reasonable offers will be considered. It's located in Ridgefield, New Jersey and you can contact Andrew here via email or give him a call at 201 410-2646. If you have an unrestored survivor like this that you would like to sell, please consider listing it with us!

The systems of differently scaled models is expediently to use in cases when it is impossible by different causes (insufficiency of original data, technical complexity during realization, deficiency of the material resources or time) to create the detailed model of the whole region under investigation. In this case we are limiting by the creation of the detailed model only of the most important part of the territory under investigation, for example of the polluted ground waters aureole distribution part of the water intake territory, of the area on which drainage is projected and so on.
Structure of models system structure of hydrogeological-meliorative conditions of Bakhbakhty area of Akdalinsky irrigated massive
The regional model is created for taking into consideration of the regional factors, producing considerable influence onto the process imitated. The regional model scale can be considerably less than the scale of the local model. During its preparation, it is often used the more rough schematization of the hydrogeological conditions in plan and section, and also the larger step of grid approximation of the region modeled. Results of the solution received on the regional model are assigned as of boundaries of the local model.
Boundary conditions assigning
Utilization of the systems of variously-scaled mathematical models of hydrogeological objects allows to save time, and material resources. Practical realization of such approach has certain problems which with considerable degree of convention can be divided onto theoretical, methodological and technical ones.
Theoretical problems are basically connected with the choice of the rational schematization of the hydrogeological conditions in plane and section, with assigning of boundary conditions for the regional and local models, and also with the choice of the type of the process imitated.
Methodological problems are defined by insufficiency of effective utilization of the present possibilities of programming and instrumental means.
Technical problems оare conditioned by incomplete functional possibilities of programming means and by insufficient technical character of instrumental means – low high-speed response, insufficient volume of operative memory or memory on outer devices, non-effective means of input / output of graphic data and so on.
Assignment of boundary conditions as of outer boundaries of local model is the basic difficulty during creation of the system of variously-scaled models. In a general case, boundary conditions coordination must be made certainly also by head and discharge. Sometimes it is enough to execute coordination of boundary condition only by head. Choice of hydrogeological conditions schematization principles in plan and in section for local model is an important problem. They must correspond with the aims of modeling and peculiarities of schematization of hydrogeological conditions executed for the regional model.

Webpage Loading Too Slow...?
Page-Speed Expert is here to Help
…Your ranking gets penalized for failing the Core Web Vitals. The Missing Piece of the Puzzle of Every Site Builder and SEO Person
…Your ranking gets penalized for failing the Core Web Vitals. The Missing Piece of the Puzzle of Every Site Builder and SEO Person
Let's get it straight;
Website design and development have been booming over the last decade or so. Everybody seems to have something to say and wants a blog, and businesses are abandoning physical spaces in favor of online ones.
So, as a web builder, you've probably had your fair share of gigs in the past couple of months.
And no, I don't mean that you suck at your job.
In fact, your sites are probably some of the most visually impressive among your equals. You've mastered the art of blending website colors, image styles, image sizes, heading sizes, fonts, and backgrounds into beautiful designs.
Everything's always going pretty well until you run a speed test or check the sites on Google PageSpeed Insights. And suddenly, you are no longer smiling.
Speed is one of the most crucial aspects of any website. It is crucial for a good user experience.
Thus, Google and other search engines now use load speeds as a factor to rank websites in SERPs. A website may have the prettiest of designs and the most engaging of contents, but when the speed is poor;
Your ranking gets penalized for failing the Core Web Vitals
Whatever traffic comes your way, approximately 40% of visitors will abandon the site due to a poor user experience (ie, being too impatient to just sit and wait).
In turns, this makes for a greater bounce rate, and even lower rankings than what failing the Core Web Vitals by itself would account for.
In this way, the Core Web Vitals update isn't much of an update. A slow website has always been ranking more poorly than a fast one, simply because of its greater bounce rate.
Many clients know this as it's pretty much on the front page of Running a Website 101. So, when they pay you to design/develop their website, and it runs slower than a sloth on a hot day, they'll be disappointed.
Even if your clients don't know this, it's our duty as web developers and designers to send them a quality product.
If your speeds are bad, your speed test tool will most probably give you recommendations on what to do.
Sometimes they work, but a lot of times they don't… or it's too complex mumbo jumbo to know what to do about them.
So, like any good developer, you do the next best thing and research possible solutions.
You go online and read a couple of articles or watch one or two Youtube tutorials. You proceed to install certain plugins and compress images as recommended.
Likely, there will be an improvement.
But the website speeds almost never reach where you need them to be. This puts a lot of web developers in a difficult situation.
You don't know what else to do, but you can't quite surrender the project to the client as it is because;
Therefore, many web developers often end up paying experts to optimize the speed of their sites.
These experts tend to charge a lot of money. So, you're pretty much taking a significant hit on whatever money you've made from your project.
You've probably heard of the idea that you need to be a super-programmer to build fast websites.
It's a pretty common belief in web development circles all around the world. Thus, website builders without coding skills;
Fortunately, all these ideas are wrong.
It's actually possible to build a beautiful and fast website with little, if any, programming knowledge.
Sounds too good to be true?
I (Maxime, owner of Element.How) had the intention of making my own optimization course. However, I am so busy with all kinds of different projects, I just never got to make it. Then I came to know of Shay Toder and his amazing course.
Who is Shay Toder and why does he deserve your attention? He has been a SQL Database Administrator for the past 15 years, and he enjoys making any processes run faster. He is particularly passionate about improving the performance of websites.
But what makes him the best instructor you can possibly have, is that he is really good at what he teaches. In June 2019, he won first place in Cloudways international WordPress Performance Contest. In 2020, he won third place. He launched his course a year later, and everything else is history.
As Maxime was saying, it's actually possible to build a beautiful and fast website with little, if any, programming knowledge. I can prove it:
What if I told you that the next time you build a slow website, you'd pretty much be able to rescue the situation. You'll never again spend half your profits securing the services of an expert. If that doesn't sound like a good enough proposition, let's up the stakes.
What if I told you that you might never build a slow website again. Now that sounds like something every web developer wants; to never build a slow website. It's pretty much what will take your website-building career to the next level, and that is without learning to code.
Some time ago, I realized that while most web builders know how to build and design websites, they don't understand the essential principles needed for a fast website.
That's something I want to change. So, why not become a teacher of some sort to the thousands of website designers and builders out there?
With that goal in mind, I have packed all my practical knowledge into Shay Toder's course. As a result, it is the most comprehensive and focused course there is on optimizing the page speeds of WordPress websites.
And unlike other courses, you won't be going into this one alone. Instead, you'll enjoy direct personal assistance from me throughout the entirety of the program.
So far, the course contains 40 lessons, each 2 to 10 minutes long. Each lesson focuses on a specific problem and finding its solution. Generally, the course is divided into three sections:
There is a lot to learn on the most comprehensive WordPress optimization course on the internet. These include:
Here's the thing, my course is suitable for anyone into website building. Whether you're;
… this course will help you get the best out of your website. So, what are you waiting for? Enroll now.

Shay is a worldwide authority on optimization, and he is the winner of 1st place in 2019, 3rd place in 2020 & 1st place in 2021, in a international WordPress Performance Contest.

Did you ever go to a place where the weather was lousy and you were told if you don't like the weather, just wait 15 minutes?
well, my dears, I am here telling you the same about life. Once you realize that you have control over how you see your situation, then it can change, and get even better.
It is when we see the good in everything about where we are right now, that we can effect our future for the better, beginning with our attitude.
Once our attitude changes, so does our situation. So open your eyes, and see the beauty, and you'll be enveloped in it.
Oh, and don't forget to ask for what you want out of life. The cosmos are geared to deliver it to you.
Wishing you peace,

Wet Floor & Cosmic Dust Afterparty
Wet Floor & Cosmic Dust > O Tannenbaum's Club Night.
There will be an opportunity to pledge to our crowdfund campaign

SQUEAKY [O Tannenbaum]
EASY TIME [live]
MANTA [Where to now?, live]
MFK [Analogue Mutations]
SONOFDISTANTEARTH [Lobster Theremin, Tresen, live]
PEACOCK & OMA [O Tannenbaum]
O Tannenbaum coowner and resident DJ Hamy Caldwell aka SQUEAKY has been active in electronic dance music since the late 90s. He has been organizing and DJing at Breakcore events in Australia, Acid parties in the Netherlands and mixed events at Occii Amsterdam. Squeaky takes from an eclectic collection of music for his Techno DJ sets ranging from atmospheric slow and raw acidic techno to deep and hypnotic techno jams. Music from labels like Bio Rhythm, TTT, Mathematiques, Clone and Atlantik Wall will certainly be heard.
https://www.mixcloud.com/squeaky_from/livefromthebcrstudio /
Olle Holmberg and Inon Peres team up for EASY TIME. Inon Peres is famously mastering an incredible relaxed but rich, complex and suspenseful drone sound coming from his Wizard Ashdod project. He is founder and owner of the Full Body Massage label that specializes in experimental music, focusing on the relationship between sound and the body absorbing it. Olle Holmberg began working under his Moon Wheel (Where to now? / Not Not Fun) moniker after moving to Berlin, creating cerebral, shapeshifting compositions inspired by nature, history, and wandering that have garnered him praise as a producer with a subtle knack for building a mood.
Manuel Carvalho aka MANTA (Where to Now?) who lives and works in Berlin creates a sound realm where radiophonic interstellar explorations collide head on with a smooth yet brutalist Techno vision. Thematically Manta takes his influence largely from J.G. Ballard and Italo Calvino, and does little to hide this admiration. Musically Etras influence is derived from three interconnecting stems, creating a dizzy dance where Detroit giants such as Drexciya and Terrence Dixon mingle with Pole and Basic Channel under the all encompassing squashed funk gaze of Moodymann.
Koen Nutters aka MFK (Analogue Mutations) build quite a reputation for having a fine nose and love for raw, minimalistic, subtle and deep bass music. Not talking about minimal techno here. His love goes from UK Bass to Jersey beat, it goes from labels like Bunker to L.I.E.S to acido, and from Detroit to leftfield to acid to electro. But a mix by MFK sounds like a mix that can only come from MFK. Highly recommended. You can find MFKS radio show on Berlin Community Radio and Red Light Radio. Besides that Koen Nutters is a standing bass player in the Pitch, the New Silence and Konzert Minimal, and is and was part of many other musical projects.
David Rank aka SONOFDISTANTEARTH (Lobster Theremin, Tresen, live) produces a raw and textured blend of techno drawing from the epic melodic techno of US artists such as Levon Vincent whilst evoking the deskcrushing saturation of the very same East Coast noisetechno scene. From proper warehouse jams for serious heads, thundering drum loops washed over by highrise pads and twinkling, crystal melodies, to boneshaking lowend and clattering, roughup hats crashes through walls of arpedtohell synthwarmth. You better check it out yourself. Very excited to have David on stage tonight!
O Tannenbaum founders and resident DJs Pieter Kock (Peacock / Jerome) and Olivier Maarschalk (OMA / OMA Richie) aka PEACOCK & OMA have been DJing techno together since around 1996. Part of the techno sound systems Wirwar and Terra X in the Netherlands, they share a love for the Den Haag sound, Chicago House, UK Bass, Leftfield House and Detroit Techno and Electro from labels like FXHE, Reduction, TTT, L.I.E.S, Chiwax, Metroplex and more. Both Maarschalk and Kock are active in other musical projects as well, and have a broad range of musical taste, in both their DJ sets and their live acts. OMA produces a subtle, deep techno music with his project OMA Richie and Peacock produces a broad range of techno / dream club and juke as Jerome.

April 8 @ Acud Macht Neu
Das Große Tannenbaum Waldfest 2015
Wet Floor & Cosmic Dust > O Tannenbaum's Club Night.
Wet Floor & Cosmic Dust started a year ago at Sameheads, popped up at a few other places in Berlin and the Netherlands, and is now moving to a next level, bringing together edgy OTB style techno / house / wave / electronics with artists and labels like Acido, From Where to Now?, Lobstertheremin, New York Haunted, Echovolt Records, Not Not Fun and lots more in Acud Macht Neu.
O Tannenbaum co-owner and resident DJ. Specializes in very concentrated DJ sets with a very fine nose for subtleness and the specific. Vinyl only from a huge eclectic collection.
Very active organizer, producer, multitalker, good viber and badass to the bone. DIY meets dirty tekno.
As Longitude are Berlin based sound explorers Laura ODL and Eva Geist. They started to record electronic sessions on the wave of fresh and prolific inspiration. Their live performances are made of infinite bass loops, drum machines and sequenced riffs, crooked, overdriven synths and tape manipulations. The output is a unique raw experimental acid, spatial techno, bubbling soundscapes and fuzzy rhythms.
Baz Reznik
Label owner, sound engineer and making and playing acid, techno, house, electro, leftfield and everything in between. Huge love for music, traveling and the machines. Baz Reznik is one of the artists pushing the Dutch Den Haag Sound by producing techno, acid and electro on labels like New York Haunted, Syncom Data, Bunker records and his own DYFR records.
Peacock & Oma
Founders of O Tannenbaum, Pieter and Olivier have been DJ-ing techno together since around 1996. Part of the tekno soundsystems Wirwar and Terra X in the Netherlands, like Reznik much in love with the Den Haag sound, but also with a deep interest and love for the early Chicago (acid) house and Ghetto sound, mixed with UK Bass, leftfield house and Detroit Techno and Electro.
Jimmy Jib:
Eclectic and positively above the ring. Co-owner of the amazing Echovolt Records, with releases by Steve Summers, Legowelt, L.I.E.S and many more. Jimmy Jib makes his sets sound effortless in all its freshness, complexity and joy. Definitely one of O Tannenbaums favorite DJs.

At ones own pace in its own time.
Lee Fukke - Homage to Cornwall's pilgrim path (Video)
It is argued that the shapeshifting psychedelic colouring of the images represent a mood synced reflection of the energetic sphere. Locations of mystical heritage pronounce its remainings through the lens of lee fukke who has spent days wild camping while being on a journey in cornwall visiting sacred sites including the merry maidens, the madron wishing well and men-an-tol
Damian Lintell Smith - Gobekli Tepe (Slide projection)

Felix Friedmann - XC Sleep (Photography)
Stranding for a night of rest, peacefulness and security in places unknown yet sourced by intuition. The photographic images of Felix Friedmann depict circumstancial choice of seeking sleep whilst crossing europe in a citroen XC. Personal impressions of the time spent and initial stepping stones of the journey are expressed in writing by all those who have enjoyed nights in this very choice for shelter.
The Salpa Tales - Oilfields Mines Hurricains (Film & Reading)
Co written by 18 authors the road movie is depicting a youths quest to follow upon a journey. Fictional metaphors for rebirth's cycle are played by kristoff gerega. For his role as Salpa he slipps into a non-singular construct of the multiple authors that gave him shape. The co author Annekatherine Heier is reading from the submitted scripts shedding light on the development of the character.
Anastasia Freygang - Rite of passage (Video projection and performance)
Anastasia Freygang is marking a transition. Late works of physical poetry against the forefront of a live caress of her own body is aimed at preparing her for the ventures ahead. Giving time to absorb exposed past in video format her physical presence of longduration represents a personal steppingstone making personal chronology go public.
Chatlotte Wendy Law - Personal pilgrimage to the quarry (Sound and Installation)
In spatial terms it is a safe semi circle for a soul to listen to the recordings Charlotte gathered along the way. Her return to the quarry is a private investigation touching upon sensitive areas of her own life in her home town Devon.
Llew Watkins (Writing)
Having spent 2 years living in india Llew recalls the initial steps and impressions that were guiding him towards buddhism.
V.ff White People Scrap Metal - Unas w sadu (Live in concert and Video)
The respective band of crude melodies spent months living in an abandoned garden in berlin neukölln seeking peace and time, practicing urban retreat. Lyrics in retrospective and western ritual chants of the future mark their live appearance along a visual journey into the depths of an ephemeral space.
Simon Ward - The inverted spiral (Reading)
The piece is a product of a transition in thought connected to the concept of the Soul- writing on an inner path related to esoteric philosophy.
Luisa Martelo, Fabíola Fernandes & Dinis Santos share their experience on visiting the Convent - St Francis being a site of pilgrimage for women of Viana and cult site for Satanists. (Writing and Imagery)

Encounters I May Or May Not Have Had With Peter Berlin
20 min, 2012
Encounters I May Or May Not Have Had With Peter Berlin deals primarily with monumentality, narcissism and the ways in which our heroes are embedded into our identities, and manifested through the body. Through a variety of gestures, the pervasiveness of this practice is highlighted alongside its ultimate, inevitable failure. The viewer moves through various stages of anxiety, idolization and actual touchdown with 70's gay sex icon Peter Berlin himself, capturing both the apparent and the hidden. The film guides the viewer through the process of making contact with a figure who exists only in his own photographs.
FRANK is a platform run by Liv Bugge and Sille Storihle. It was established in April 2012 to nurture art and critical discourse revolving around gender issues, desire and sexuality. The platform operates in different locations and with various co-curators.

Clockwork Orchestra, Mirror Talk, Sea Urchin
DJ Oscar der Winzige
O Tannenbaum will be organizing a bunch of
concerts on different locations throughout the city. This week we will
head over to Bei Ruth.
Clockwork Orchestra is the moniker of Dublin based songwriter Paul Mangan. His idiosyncratic brand of melody driven music juxtaposes hyperactive synth riffs, melancholic piano balladry and psychedelic string arrangements together to conjure up a strange land of musical toys and colourful characters.
Mirror Talk is the solo cold wave, dark pop synth project of Dominic Noé.
Sea Urchin is a project that works with the primal forms of sound and light, starting from a series of stills, excerpts from a video documentary filmed under the sea near the island of Tioman in Malysia. Francesco Cavaliere and Leila Hassan are during their live performance researching the lost reflection, which lies on the deep seabed. Using raw materials and textile surfaces, they transform multiple rays of light into a projection that changes shape organically and constantly. Sea Urchin is a vehicle of investigation that furthers their aim to explore a mirage of forms, as a bridge to an unreachable cosmos, or, equally an unexplored seabed.

A homebrewed publication full of Es
E for Ethanol
E for Europe
E for E numbers
E for the letter E
E is the fifth letter; E=mc²; E is the most commonly used letter in many languages; E is a most beloved letter; there are many Es in George Perec but none in La Disparation; E! is your source for entertainment news, celebrities, celeb news, and celebrity gossip; E as in Eric Zboya although derek beaulieu has four Es in his name; in British sign language E is signed by extending the index finger of the right hand touching the tip of index on the left hand, with all fingers of left hand open; in morse code E looks like ·, e is a mathematical constant and can also be calculated as the sum of the infinite series
A homebrewed publication full of Es. One poem to be unread untouched unseen. One typographical painting full of poems. One poem for those that do not see that cannot be felt. One poem for those who do not feel that cannot be read. A language to be touched are letters to be unseen. A language to be read are letters to be unseen.
And then again the most proper probable answer to this most mundane problem: people buy beer but they don't buy books.

Urpf Lanze + González & Steenkiste
O Tannenbaum will be organizing a bunch of concerts on different locations throughout the city. The first in this series will be at General Public in Prenzlauer Berg.
The Urpf Lanze is the alter ego of Wouter Vanhaelemeesch, who is known as one of the people behind the audioMER and Smeraldina-Rima labels, and as a visual artist with a very distinctive style. The Urpf Lanze brings primitive outsiderfolk from a lonely spacecottage that consists of indecipherable moaning and hollering accompanied by a detuned guitar played on the lap.
Drawing influences from ethnic and folk music, free and spiritual jazz, psychedelia and minimalism to more contemporary underground acts such as Pelt/Spiral Joy Band, early Hototogisu and Vibracathedral Orchestra, González & Steenkiste embark on sound journeys using a myriad of electric and acoustic instruments where the violin and the harmonium are the main vessels. Belgian (get) high weirdness at it's finest.

G. Brett Williams # 7 – The Black Synonym
Here's a quick departure. Â The story behind this is pretty funny, actually. Â When trying to come up with an appropriately dark and mysterious name for Caliginous without using something that had previously been used in comics (eventually I gave up and went with Caliginous), I found that almost all synonyms for the words "black" and "darkness" have been used to name comic book characters. Â I posted my frustration over this to my Facebook wall and sparked a hilarious discussion with friends wherein they kept suggesting things and I kept informing them that I'd already exhausted their suggested options. Â In response to this, my friend made a comment about the vocabulary avenger, The Black Synonym. Â The Black Synonym gave birth to other characters such as Antonym Ray and Thaddeus T. Saurus, the dinosaur linguist.
I'm really not sure what to say about the Black Synonym. Â I envision him being right at home in a superhero lampoon such as The Tick. Â A sort of jovial Batman analogue who gets fed up with the complete lack of spooky things to call himself with out infringing copywright and decides to refer to himself as The Black Synonym. Â He is joined by a crusading bunch of word enthusiasts who take to the streets in an attempt to stamp out the poor education that leads so many to a life of crime. Â The Black Synonym is of course annoyed by this, as his name is meant to be a joke, not a linguistic call to arms. Â Nevertheless, he fights crime alongside the tenured professor of English and anthropology at the local university, who happens to be a half man/half dinosaur, Thaddeus T. Saurus and the scientist and entomologist Ray Antz, who through a freak accident of Kafka-like proportions is transformed into the educationally crusading ant scientist, Antonym Ray. Â Antonym Ray has a raygun that turns people into their exact opposite for a few hours, the effects of which can be quite hilarious.

Jeff John Roberts, writing for PaidContent:
The Justice Department released a document today that characterized criticism by Apple and publishers of a controversial price-fixing settlement as "self-serving" and ill-founded. The Department also pointed to recent ventures by Google and Microsoft as evidence that the e-book market is thriving and that Amazon's dominant position has been overstated.
I'll bet Amazon sells more e-books in a day than Microsoft and Google combined do in a month. Not that sales numbers alone disprove the DOJ's argument, but let's not kid ourselves that Microsoft or Google have yet made a dent in the e-book market.

Andrew F. Puzder is Trump's Labor pick
President-elect Donald J. Trump on Thursday chose Andrew F. Puzder as the head of the U.S. Department of Labor.
"Andy Puzder has created and boosted the careers of thousands of Americans, and his extensive record fighting for workers makes him the ideal candidate to lead the Department of Labor," Mr. Trump said in a statement to New York Times.
Puzder, chief executive of CKE Restaurants Inc, which operates the Carl`s Jr. and Hardee`s fast-food chains, has been a vehement critic of government regulation of the workplace.
trending now
He has criticized paid sick leave policies of the sort recently enacted for federal contractors and strongly supports repealing the Affordable Care Act, which he says has created a "government-mandated restaurant recession" because rising premiums have left people with less money to spend on dining out.
Speaking to Business Insider this year, Mr. Puzder said that increased automation could be a welcome development because machines were "always polite, they always upsell, they never take a vacation, they never show up late, there's never a slip-and-fall or an age, sex or race discrimination case."
On the political incorrectness front, Mr. Puzder's company, CKE Restaurants, runs advertisements that frequently feature women wearing next to nothing while gesturing suggestively. "I like our ads," he told the publication Entrepreneur. "I like beautiful women eating burgers in bikinis. I think it's very American."
Matthew Haller, senior vice president for public affairs and communications at the International Franchise Association, of which Mr. Puzder is a board member, said Mr. Puzder saw "a role for government to provide advice to employers, rather than simply deterrence by 'gotcha' enforcement," an allusion to the Obama Labor Department's enforcement of laws and regulations in the fast-food industry.
In an appearance on Fox Business in May Puzder, he said that he was "not opposed to raising the minimum wage rationally; I'm opposed to raising it to the point where lower-skilled workers, working-class Americans, young people, minorities, are losing the jobs they need to get on the ladder of success."
Trump's this decision of chosing Puzder is drawing criticism from labour advocates worried about his opposition to a higher minimum wage and government regulation of the workplace.
Fast-food workers, who are largely not unionized, are engaged in a multi-year campaign known as the "Fight for $15," which is supported by labour unions, to raise minimum wages to $15 per hour. They have had state-wide successes in New York and California and in cities and municipalities such as Seattle.
Republican Trump beat Democrat Hillary Clinton in last month's election by carrying swing states - and some traditionally Democratic states - in the U.S. Rust Belt after promising to create jobs and to review or cancel trade deals that he said were bad for workers.
Labor leaders have been girding for Trump to appoint pro-business regulators at the Labor Department and National Labor Relations Board, and to roll back key regulatory initiatives of the Obama administration such as a Labor Department rule granting overtime pay to more than 4 million salaried workers, both unionized and not unionized.
Economic research suggests that an increase to the vicinity of $10.10 per hour would have little or no effect on employment in much of the country, though the impact could be larger in low-wage, low-cost areas. Mr. Puzder has raised concerns about the effects in those regions.
On other issues, Mr. Puzder has taken hard-line positions that leave less room for negotiation. Perhaps most prominent is the so-called joint employer doctrine that the Obama administration and its agency appointees have put forth in recent years.
Under that doctrine, large companies that have franchises or hire other companies as contractors are more likely to be held liable for violations of employment laws by those contractors or franchisees. Parent companies typically argue that they have no legal responsibility in these cases.
Perhaps the biggest question surrounding Mr. Puzder is how he would be perceived as a wealthy chief executive charged with looking out for workers' interests.
According to a 2012 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Mr. Puzder's base salary that year was more than $1 million and his total compensation over $4 million, down from more than $10 million the year before. "Annual base salaries should be competitive and create a measure of financial security for our executive officers," the filing said.

Au fost 4 zile de festival în Bristol, UK.
Joi, 11 August 2016. Ora 6 p.m. Vreme mohorâtă, cer înorat. Trafic infernal. Sute de maşini se îndreptau spre Ashton Court Estate, Bristol. Am făcut o oră din Keynsham până în Bristol. Parcări pline. Un sfat, dacă doriţi să mergeţi, intraţi la ei pe site şi rezervaţi o parcare. Este mult mai comod şi rapid.
Sute sau poate mii de oameni erau pe iarbă. Copii, părinţi, bunici, cu toţii aşteptau cu sufletul la gură şi cu fish and chips în mână (e o mâncare tradiţională la ei, gen micii la noi).
Din păcate, în prima şi a doua zi de festival, din cauza vremii, baloanele nu s-au ridicat de la sol. Au fost doar umflate şi prezentate. Colorate, cu linii, cu diferite modele, în formă de leu, pătrate, rotunde, de toate felurile şi mărimile.
Sâmbătă dimineaţa, la ora 6 a.m., în sfârşit, după lungi aşteptări şi speranţe, focul a fost aprins şi baloanele s-au ridicat, rând pe rând , până au colorat cerul. Cât vedeai cu ochii, totul era acoperit de zâmbete şi aer cald. Soarele strălucea prin frânghiile baloanelor până în obiectivul aparatului foto. E un prilej deosebit pentru iubitorii de "zboruri" să încerce aceste aventuri, dar şi pentru împătimiţii de fotografie.
Parcul e plin de tarabe, de tot felul , de la mâncare şi băuturi până la ursuleţi de pluş sau obiecte de artizanat. Permanent, siguranţa este asigurată de poliţie şi ambulanţă. Sunt 4 zile de distracţie. Intrarea e liberă, doar dacă vrei să te dai cu balonul plăteşti. Sau dacă mori de foame. La ediţia de anul acesta au participat peste 200 de baloane! Seara, baloanele lăsau loc artificiilor pe cer. Atmosfera era asigurată de muzică live. Pe parcursul zilei s-au organizat tot felul de competiţii. Dacă vreţi, exită un loc de camping, unde puteţi rămâne cu cortul, pe parcursul celor 4 zile de festival.
Din păcate, nu am reuşit să prind cadre, decât în zilele când a fost înorat. Genul asta de eveniment îmi aduce amite de zilele oraşelor de la noi, cu tarabe, mâncăruri, tiribombe şi muzică live.
Per total, festivalul a fost o reuşită (era şi mai bine dacă vremea ar fi ţinut cu organizatorii), unic in Europa, Bristol International Baloon Fiesta este un prilej de socializare şi entreteinment.

There were four days of the festival in Bristol, UK.
Thursday, August 11, 2016. Time 6pm. Weather dreary, cloudy sky. Infernal traffic. Hundreds of cars headed to Ashton Court Estate, Bristol. I did one hour of Keynsham to Bristol. Parking full. A tip if you want to go, go on their site and book a parking lot. It is more convenient and fast.
Hundreds or thousands of people were on the grass. Children, parents, grandparents, everyone waited with baited breath, and fish and chips in hand (it's a traditional dish for they, as mici to us).
Unfortunately, in the first and second day of the festival, due to the bad weather, balloons were not raised from the ground. There were only swollen and presented. Colorful lines with different models, lion-shaped, square, round, of all kinds and sizes.
Saturday morning at 6 a.m., finally, after long expectation and hope, the fire was lit and balloons were raised, one by one, until they colored the sky. As you saw with your eyes, everything was covered with smiles and warm air. The sun shone through the ropes balloons to the camera lens. It's a special occasion for lovers of "flights" try these adventures, but also for photography buffs.
The park is filled with stalls of all kinds, from food and drinks to teddy bears or handicrafts. Permanent safety is ensured by the police and ambulance. There are 4 days of fun. Entry is free, unless you want to pay ballooning. Or if you're starving. At this year's edition, over 200 balloons attended! In the evening, balloons were replaced with fireworks . The atmosphere was provided by live music. During the day they were organized all kinds of competitions. If you want, there is a campsite, where you can stay in a tent, during the 4 days of the festival.
Unfortunately, I just took photos only in the days when it was cloudy. This kind of event,reminds me of the days event in our city, with stalls, food, live music and a bumper cars.
Overall, the festival was a success (it would been even better if the weather had held with the organizers), unique in Europe, Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is an opportunity to socialize and enterteinment.

Spanish Video Art Exhibition
This is a caustic, peculiar, critical and enticing tribute to "flesh-video" projects!
Produced by Spanish audio-visual artists, the "flesh-video" projects not only illustrate that when realities collide with illusions, but also provide the audience with numerous ways to observe emotions.
MADATAC(Contemporary New Media & Audio-Visual Art International Mostra) is directed by the CAO Lury Lech himself. In 7th Digital Art Festival Taipei, we are honored to invite and exhibit some of the award-winning works of MADATAC. Workshop on discussing the development of Spanish Video Art and the role of MADATAC will also be held. The 12 pieces of work exhibited this time prove to present genuine creativeness, for they not only integrate technology and imagination, but also challenge the conventions of narrative films.
