South Africa's real estate investment trust (SA REIT) sector is heading for a re-rating and the question is whether the sector will rally this year or next, the SA REIT Association said in a recent statement.
The association represents SA's R330bn listed REIT sector.
In January 2019 the FTSE/JSE SA Listed Property Index (SAPY) has had its strongest January performance in 10-plus years since 2007, outperforming all other asset classes. At the end of January, the SAPY was up 9.17%, well ahead of the FTSE/JSE All-share Index (ALSI) at 2.69%; bonds at 1.7%; and cash at 0.6%, according to the SA REIT Association.
Wynand Smit, real estate analyst at Anchor Stockbrokers explains in the statement that most SA REITs de-rated during 2018.
Should growth expectations start to improve during 2019, the valuations of the SA REITs are compelling, in his view.
A re-rate in the sector would be a big gain for it in 2019, according to Mvula Seroto of Catalyst Fund Managers.
"However, this will only be possible if the economic outlook improves; there are positive results from the 2019 general elections; and a reprieve from credit rating agency downgrades," said Seroto.
Mohamed Kalla, director and portfolio manager at Sesfikile Capital, commented that "being quite conservative in our relative rating and growth expectations, we arrive at a 2019 total return expectation of about 12% for the FTSE/JSE All Property Index (ALPI)".
In his view, the main driver is the attractive - on a relative and absolute basis - initial forward yield and does not factor in a significant re-rating relative to bonds in 2019.
However, Sesfikile Capital forecasts point to a more stable 2020 growth outlook, which should result in better re-rating potential a year from now, he explained.
Stanlib analyst and portfolio manager Ahmed Motara believes it is too early to call for a material REIT sector rally in 2019. Upcoming elections in SA; Edcon concerns; and possibly lower retailer rentals are issues to be absorbed by the SA REIT sector this year.
For 2019, Motara anticipates the income return to dominate the total return picture in the REIT sector with 2020 expected to see a return to higher total returns as capital return becomes more evident.
According to Capricorn Fund Managers SA's Howard Penny, who expects 2019 to be a better year overall for SA REIT returns after a disappointing 2018, the jury is out as to whether the sector could re-rate on a relative valuation level this year.
"Given worries surrounding rising global interest rates, perhaps the bounce back may have to wait for 2020," said Penny.
Andrea Taverna-Turisan, SA REIT Association marketing committee chair, commented that "with the cost of equity having increased substantially in SA, management teams of local property counters will need to focus on the pure property fundamentals of their organisations to ensure the property sector will become more robust and better positioned to deliver shareholder value over time".

World of Warplanes and War Thunder are COMPLETELY different games. Okay, it might have same types of planes, same types of mechanics and stuff however it is not actually designed for the same type of gamers. I would suggest if you like just cruising around being a freaking noob and wasting a bunch of money on premium currencies on useless crap then chose World of Warplanes. It is an arcade type of shooter and the "frame" of the plane is virtually non existent (there is no separate damage, if you get shot by a bullet and it a wing your entire plane take damage. Also, your plane is almost indestructible and you can't even land). However, War Thunder, is a game where your skills is what makes you succeed. Myself is a War Thunder gamer and I managed to shot down a Lancaster bomber with a biplane through pure skills and luck. Unlike World of Warplanes, you can land on airfields, it is a very important skills as it is required to complete missions, capture the points (domination game mode) and when necessarily repair your plane after an intense combat situation. seriously just get War Thunder and get it over with.
What's the difference between War Thunder and World of Warplanes?

How to Monitor Your Financial Health
- Carla Fried
- 3 min read
Having a good sense of your financial health requires pulling together a bunch of different data points to see your overall big picture.
There's the money you've got: money you've saved in bank accounts and the money you've invested for retirement or other long-term goals and if you are a homeowner, your equity. On the other side of your personal balance sheet is the money you owe: the unpaid balance on your credit cards, the student loans you're still dealing with, maybe a car loan (or two), and the remaining balance on a mortgage.
A popular way to measure financial health is to calculate your net worth: subtract the balances of all the money you owe (liabilities in financial jargon) from all your assets: the savings and investment accounts and the equity in a property, such as a home.
If you have a thing for spreadsheets you can keep track of your net worth. Or you can let an app do the heavy lifting. Fintech services such personalcapital.com offer free "net worth" tracking. If you agree to link your financial records, you are just a few clicks away from seeing an integrated big picture of your assets and liabilities that are updated daily. Or you can use a simple net worth calculator (NerdWallet and Intuit have them) to get a snapshot of where you're at.
The younger you are, the more likely you are to have a small or negative net worth. That's to be expected as you're just getting rolling and might have student loans, a car loan and perhaps a large mortgage balance on the liability side of your financial life.
If you want to focus on net worth as a way to monitor your financial health, your goal should be that over time you see your net worth improving: your assets are growing and your loan balances are decreasing.
There are also some ways to take a DIY snapshot of your progress:
- Compute your overall savings rate. Add up how much you are contributing each year to retirement accounts, any other investment accounts and bank savings accounts. Divide this by your after-tax (take-home) pay. That's your savings rate. Financial advisors recommend aiming to save 15% of your income. Not there yet? Okay, aim to increase your savings rate a bit each month, quarter or year.
- Track if you are hitting retirement milestones. There are all sorts of ways to compute if you're on track to glide into retirement with enough money saved up to live comfortably. Some of those calculations get painfully deep in the weeds. A solid rule of thumb you can use to easily monitor your progress is to check how much of your current annual income you have saved for retirement. Fidelity's rule of thumb rule is to aim to have 1x your salary saved at age 30, 3x by age 40, 6x by age 50 and to hit age 67 with 10x. (Those are just guidelines, for a clearer personalized estimate you might want to hire a financial planner to help you run the numbers.)
- Monitor your total debt load. There is no single magic number for how much debt is too much, but you can learn plenty from mortgage lenders. As a general rule, you are deemed to be in solid financial shape if your total monthly debt payments (including a mortgage you're applying for) is no more than 36% of your gross monthly income. Lenders will consider mortgages for people with higher debt-to-income levels (DTI), but working to whittle your DTI to this level (and ultimately much lower as you near retirement) is a sign your financial health is improving.
- Check your credit scores. As you likely know all too well, your credit scores can play a big part in your financial life. They are used to determine if you are eligible for loans and the terms you will be offered. Your credit score is a snapshot of your financial health. Credit scores calculated by FICO are the industry standard. A FICO credit score ranges from 300 to 850. A score over 740 or so is considered very strong. The good news is that banks and credit card issuers are increasingly offering you free looks at your FICO credit scores if you log-in. That makes it easy to track your credit score.

Remember this past November, when I wrote about Chris Fogal's new doom metal super group, On High, featuring Ian O'Dougherty, Matty Clark and Dave Barker? I directed you to their page on Virb.com, which at the time had three free songs posted for download from their forthcoming disc. Those who were astute enough to visit the site, should be glad they did. That page, those tunes -- and pretty much any signs of On High -- have gone the way of Friday Night Lights.
Worry not, headbangers: As it turns out, the band didn't go up in flames on the launch pad. Rather it's changed its name to TaunTaun (that wooly, llama-looking, snow creature from Star Wars pictured above, which is far more metal). No explanation was offered for the new handle, but we're guessing that TaunTaun just sounds more metal -- it does to us, anyway.
Anyhow, we've been blessed with a brand new song from the still-forthcoming album, which we're, of course, now bestowing on you. It's a pretty kick ass track, more Motorhead/Lemmy than Ozzy/Sabbath, this time out.
A release date, as well as word on when the act will make its live debut, is still up in the air. Fogal and company are currently all occupied with an array of other projects: Fogal just finished producing the new Stereotyprider album; Ian O is editing the new Ian Cooke DVD and working on a solo album; Matty Clark is finishing up a new Sleeper Horse disc; and Dave Barker will be heading into the studio with Rocky Votolato shortly. This much we do know, however, the legendary Lindsey Kuhn has signed on to do the artwork, so you know it's going to be killer. We'll keep you posted as things progress.

A good Southwest Monsoon with even rainfall distribution across regions will give a boost to agriculture sector and may push India's GDP growth beyond the 8 percent mark in the current fiscal, Crisil said.
However, stress in rainfall in certain parts of the country and excess downpour in some other regions may be a cause for worry, the credit rating agency said in a report.
In a positive scenario -- good Monsoon backed by favourable temporal and spatial distribution -- agriculture growth can surge to 6 percent from a weak base of last year and therefore push up GDP growth above 8 percent, it said.
According to the report, assuming rainfall is evenly distributed across time and regions, GDP growth may rise to 7.9 percent, if agricultural growth comes at 4 percent and CPI inflation remains contained at 5 percent in the current fiscal. Despite a slow start in June, rains have caught up and were just 1 percent below normal as of July 25. This has helped reservoirs to bounce back from the lows seen in the beginning of the fiscal, boosting farmers' confidence, the report said.
Excess rainfall in 89 districts across eight states could impact sowing and therefore agricultural output for the kharif season. Hence, spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall in the second half of the season, especially in August, will be crucial, it added.
In mid-June, rainfall was deficient in all regions except the south peninsula. Latest data shows rainfall is normal or above normal in all regions barring the east and northeast, which account for 16 percent of foodgrain output.
States such as Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, which have low irrigation coverage, have received normal or above normal rainfall. However, the rainfall has not been well distributed, with Assam (25 percent below normal), Gujarat (48.3 percent), Kerala (20 percent) and Himachal Pradesh (27.9 percent) being rain-deficient as of July 25.
As per the report, it does appear that the farm sector will perform well this year and help the economy in two ways -- keep prices under control and provide higher incomes to the farmers that could be spent on industrial goods and hence contribute to an extent to the revival in demand. The industries that would be affected by the kharif crop would be edible oils, sugar, textiles, food products and packaging.

"Parasitic, low life, devoid of dedication and devotion. Posers are eternally feasting on trends growing wild like slimy fungus! It's time to set up the Holocaustic Banishment Camp for these weak mortals as Final Cleansing!"
The banishment war has been announced against all the pretentious inferior minds and none shall be spared! For their shallow mind, cum filled brains and worthless lives are of no use, hence its time for a mass execution! Yes! Its about time for the BANISH THE POSERS FEST 2013!!
Bangladesh, a third world country mostly infamous for its poverty, politics, mass corruption, religious extremism and what not, is about to re-introduce itself as an up-growing Extreme Metal hub in Asia and establish its might in front of the world! The inception of Heavy Metal music in the region of East Bengal dates back in the mid 80's when bands like Waves, Rock Strata, Aces, In Dhaka, Warfaze showed the balls to go against the tide and start something non-conforming and rebelious against all the trends, which has stayed strongly rooted till this date. To maintain that legacy in a larger scale, its about time that Bangladesh shall experience its first international Metal fest in the most extreme and primitve form; Banish The Posers Fest 2013! The celebration of true Metal where bestial acts from all over Asia will come together with their fatal weapons and banish whats not true, eradicate whats fake and pretentious! The force of true Metal shall prevail!!
The war has been fixed on the day of 16th November at Russian Cultural Centre and is going to be put up by one of the leading Metal organizations of South-East Asia Primitive Invocation. To join forces against all that is fake and pseudo Metal, the hordes that will be coming are Siamese Death Metal aggressors Savage Deity (Thailand), Malaysian Speed / Black / Thrash Metal militia Lobotomy along with their countrymen Old-school Death Metal mad-act Kathgor and Brutal Death Metal debauchery Purgation from West Bengal, India!
They shall be supported by East Bengal's very own Death / Thrash legends, the mighty Orator, the abhorred, blasphemous Black / Death Metallers Nafarmaan, the savage Old-school Death Metal monsters Warhound and finally, the skull crushing Death Metal killer-men Morbidity!
Global Metal Apocalypse proudly announces the collaboration with Primitive Invocation and the aforementioned acts on this unholy event! Hails! On the acknowledgement of this collaborations, our Bangladeshi correspondent Nabil Abaddon talked with one of the main organizers at Primitive Invocation, Mr. Iftekhar Faiaz Nafiz (pictured above). Here is how the conversation developed:
Apocalyptic hails brother! Global Metal Apocalypse is collaborating with Primitive Invocation on this bestial congregation of Metal; Banish The Posers Fest 2013, which includes four bands from all over Asia and four bands from Bangladesh! Would you like to say anything on this unholy association? Perhaps any updates?
Hails right back at GMA for doing this interview and also for the collaboration with Primitive Invocation. Banish The Posers Fest will consist of 4 international bands and they are Savage Deity (Thailand), Kathgor (Malaysia), Purgation (India) along with the newest addition Lobotomy (Malaysia) and 4 local acts; Orator, Nafarmaan, Warhound, Morbidity. Twisted Fate from Australia and Necrodeity from India were supposed to play but unfortunately they have been ruled out of the event due to some unavoidable circumstances. We wish them the best of luck with their future endeavors. You will definitely have a blast when all these bands would hit the same stage on this 16th November! You just need to watch them live at BTPF to actually know what I am talking about!
Primitive Invocation has been organizing quality Extreme Metal gigs for quite some time now and this time you guys have taken a massive event in hand! When and how did the thought of organizing such a huge international fest come in mind at first?
Well, earlier this year and even last year we have had discussions concerning this fest and which bands we would be having at BTPF, etc etc. We got a huge response from the bands we had approached and they showed a lot of interest in coming to Dhaka and performing live plus we have known the bands for quite sometime now and have built a good and solid relationship.
Bangladesh has a very small Extreme Metal community and number of fans. Do you think Bangladesh is ready for this grand exhibition of relentless and bestial Metal?
They have to be ready sooner or later. So why not start with Banish The Posers Fest? Heh! Metalheads from Bangladesh seem to be getting into the more extreme form of metal these days rather than just keep on listening to let's say Dream Theater, Metallica, Children of Bodom etc. It's a good sign if you ask me.
Would you like to explain the name "Banish The Posers Fest"?
Amit Skullbearer and Vritra Ahi from Orator gave me the idea of naming the event Banish The Posers Fest. As far as I know, Anton from Nafarmaan had something to do with the name back in the day. It is a long story. It is a great name for the gig.
Coming to Primitive Invocation itself, How did this organization start and what are the motives and directions of this organization? Also please tell us about the PI fanzine 'Perseverance of Archaic Wisdom'!
Well, it all started back in early 2010. The basic idea of such an entity was there, but it was through "Pictavian Tandava In Bengal", the show that featured Manzer later that year that Primitive Invocation took its unofficial birth. The motives of Primitive Invocation has always been to uphold and promote the true Extreme Metal of the underground and staying true to the roots. The Primitive Invocation fanzine "Perseverance of Archaic Wisdom" was a joint effort and was the first of its kind in Bangladesh which featured some of the most extreme and big names of the underground around the globe. It was the result of the hard work put into by Oshustho Mogoj, Naved Alam Parosh, Raiyan Momen and Vritra Ahi, who is also the editor of the fanzine.
Primitive Invocation has earned a good name for featuring international bands in Bangladesh. Manzer (Pictavia), Infernal Curse (Argentina), Abigail (Japan), Purgation (India) in the past and now the aforementioned bands! Tell us how does Primitive Invocation hook up with all the international acts? Is there any kind of selection procedure or something for the local acts?
How does PI hook up with the international acts? It is simple, we contact with the bands over the internet and tell them all the details regarding the events and when and where it would take place etc. It gets easier if you already happen to know the bands from previous meetings at different gigs both home and abroad. They are also well aware of all the gigs that PI has organized thus far. Both the parties have a true dedication for Metal. Needless to say that respect and support amongst the involved parties are always there.
To answer the latter part of the question, we select those who can give the audience a kickass live show. That's one of the factors!
Is Primitive Invocationtotally inclined to Old School Metal acts only or is it open to all extreme kinds of Metal acts?
We are open to all kinds of Metal. Rock metal, soft metal, extreme metal, nude metal. You just name it!
2013 has been a decent year for Bangladeshi Metal scene so far. Lots of bands are coming up with their offerings, signing up with foreign labels, more bands are touring abroad and what not. What do you make of the scene right now? Where is it heading to?
I think the scene has gotten better over the last few years and its going towards a positive direction. Primitive Invocation supports all the hard work and the effort that the local bands have made. Kudos to them and I am sure there are even greater things coming for them in the future.
Gratitudes for giving us your time brother. Looking forward to the BTPF 2013! Ave! Any last words for the readers?
Thanks for the interview. Keep spreading the news about Banish The Posers Fest. See you all in November. Cheers!
There are more features coming your way! So watch out for the space! Ave BTPF, Ave PI !

COVENTRY and Warwickshire beer campaign groups are calling for more traditional ale to be stocked in pubs across the area.
The Campaign For Real Ale (CAMRA) says this would help the pub crisis, with boozers regionally and nationally shutting at an alarming rate.
The Telegraph reported yesterday that up to 30 pubs and clubs in Coventry and Warwickshire have closed in recent months.
Cheap booze from supermarkets, the smoking ban and high rents have all taken their toll on pubs finding themselves no longer viable.
Chairman of the Coventry and North Warwickshire branch Mike Tierney says if pubs stocked more real ales it would pull in the punters and help slow the closure rate.
Mike, aged 50, who has been a member of CAMRA since he was 18, said: "It is important to attract a large clientele rather than aim just for the under-25s or older age group. It makes sense for pubs to offer a large selection of drinks - including wines and coffees."
He added: "Larger sales have faded out because people can buy them cheap in supermarkets but with real ales you can't do that, so there is a sales market for it. So pubs should stock more and be more active in promoting what they stock."
Mike's call comes after the branch's two-day beer festival in the city centre at the weekend, which pulled in more than 2000 punters, eager to try the 91 real ales on tap.
CAMRA's Tom Starkey, who helped organise the event, said the festival proves the demand exists for real ale.
He said: "We had a cross-section of people, male and female, from every age group and every walk of life, including people from Coventry's Chinese, Asian and Eastern European communities."
"People are not getting the opportunity to try these beers in other pubs."
Andrew Laycock, chairman of the Heart of Warwickshire branch of CAMRA, said stocking traditional ales was a good solution - if different pubs served different ales, including those not available locally, and regularly changed their line-up.
He said: "Almost every other drink you can get in a pub you can serve yourself at home. But real ale is extremely difficult to do at home. So it's the one drink that that pubs could rely on as their unique selling point." n We reported yesterday the Marconi Club in Copsewood was one of the establishments that had closed in recent months.
In fact, while the club stopped trading under that name in 2005 when Marconi withdrew its support, the renamed club and its membership continues to thrive as the Copsewood Sports and Social Club, at another site off nearby Allard Way.

What Sports Means To A Coach?
Sport is everything that it is, for a sportsman. For a coach, sports is a way of discipline in life, pride in curricular brilliance, a gold mine of sheer hard work and a way of life. Sport plays an important role in a coach's life. For them, it is an encouraging spirit that gives their players a great sense of purpose to fulfill. It is the coach who brings forth the best of any player, by introducing them to their fundamental life skills, physical, and psychological strengths.
Role of a Coach in Sports
In sports, a coach is the Alma master for the players. Not only they teach rules, techniques and varied tactics to the beginners, but also provide an objective view to help the team players, enhancing their performances. They help in keeping a team, all together and in high spirit. A coach also helps to deal with top level sports tensions of highs and lows, keeping the calmness within the team during an enormous pressure of a highly competitive environment.
What Sports Means to a Coach
For a sports coach, sports means being biggest, fastest, strongest, and more importantly an honest athlete. Be it any sport, coach's ideals, morals, and integrity remain the same. For them, there are two very important things that they live for in the enigmatic world of sports – hard work and resilience.
Hard work
For a coach, the very first thing that they immensely believe in hard work in sports. This is the very first practice they preach at the court. Every sport needs 100% motivational spirit. When it comes to achieving success in sports, it requires a lot of hard work which eventually makes you disciplined in life. Coach believes in putting every ounce of hard work, attending practices and going out of your own comfort to improve the mastery of sports skills. For them, sports is no less than a life lesson and it will only do good to oneself when the player is honest to their own self.
In the competitive world of sports, a coach prefers his player to be the best athlete who must know how to accept stress, frustration, adversities and the failures. They always make it a point for their players to know that only a great athlete can cope up with the skills to learn through the tough experiences. A coach always leaves the gate open to improve in resilience even for the players who are not gifted with talent. A sport is all about developing a realistic attitude about stress and failure and perfection.

A report from Behavior, Energy and Climate Change conference,
Sacramento, CA November 2008
European perspective into North American policies
This year Behavior, Energy and Climate Change, or BECC, is organized for the second time. The conference has attracted more 600 visitors, mostly US and Canadian, single participants in many European and even African countries, relatively few from Asia. Focus is on US, particularly west coast, but the global state-of-the-art is well transmitted.
BECC is not a scientific conference. It is an event organized around a mutual theme and even though a fourth or a third of all participants represent universities, presentations are dominated by federal and commercial units. Essentially this is a venue for networking and making impact. The constellation of people present offers excellent opportunity to have an impact in practices and policies and local governments and energy companies if you have an idea and well-prepared sales pitch.
The conference program does have room for more advanced debate as well, but it maybe bit suffers from the broad topic, which has attracted so large heterogeneous audience that the branch experts hardly meet.
The overview shows that there is a huge interest in creating new solutions for energy efficiency and peak production. Although the conference was clearly Californian (along with New Jersey), different kinds of local organizations were clearly over represented, this is very understandable in terms that the states with greatest goals about fighting climate change and reducing energy demand. The actions in US seem fluctuate between different kind of organizations.
Energy service providers, utilities, are currently active trying out different techniques using powercost meters, peak pricing and AMI built-upon applications. The range is quite wide, from lo-fi (remote consumption display) to hi-fi (web-based UI displaying AMI output with the resolution of 15 sec). Generally, the work carried by utilities is not far behind the from the-state-of-the-art but analysis of the data is not carried out on a very detailed level (e.g. Sacramento SMUD)
Research organizations and innovative companies are trying the push the state-of-the-art clearly further. Lot of interesting concepts were introduced and stable technology is used for more extensive and elaborate analysis. For instance, at several universities you can find people who are actively investigating feedback (e.g. in Canada, Waterloo, Alberta). There are so many activities going on that it is very difficult to estimate what will come out of it all. It was actually noted in a conference presentation that there is a concern about how can we ensure that some lessons are learned across a variety of studies.
The situation is difficult in the sense that the amount of players in the business is large and there is a variety of incentives among the parties involved. For instance, the experiments sponsored by PCM or AMR producers may be biased to give a favorable impression of the capabilities of the device.
Seeing the bigger picture through all presentations is not easy. What should be done, what are the priorities? Who should pay for PCM/AMR technology? One important but what felt fully neglected issue in the presentations and posters I saw, was consideration of the expenses on changing from one technology to another. There have been huge campaigns to get people replace regular bulbs with FLSs but the environmental impact of discarded, functional if not efficient technology was not really considered. Although many kind of interventions were introduced to support behavioral change, there seems to be a strong believe that the technology that has gotten us into a trouble should easily also get us out of there. The most rational point of view seems to be held by the utilities that are concerned about the costs and ROIs of the new technology.
Majority of the BECC presentations can be viewed here:

Intro Wp Rocket Generate Critical Css
Don't you Just hate slow websites? Well, you are certainly not alone. your visitors hate them too– and, to make matters worse, so does Google. That's correct, if you want your website to rank highly in search engines, sell more products, generate more leads, bring in more revenue, or simply deliver a more positive consumer experience, it needs to load quickly. Wp Rocket Generate Critical Css
click here to get started with WP Rocket now!
So how Can you create your WordPress website quicker? Well, if you're still using a generic shared hosting company, one of the best options will, naturally, be to simply switch to a higher performance hosting company. However, what if you just have not got the time or money to make the switch?
Well, Fortunately, there is something else you can do that is extremely quick and easy — something that needs next-to-no technical know-how whatsoever! I'm speaking, of course, about using a caching plugin.
Today, I'll be taking an comprehensive look at one of the primary caching plugins round. WP Rocket. In the next review, I will show you by exactly how much — and how easily — it could accelerate your website (using real-life tests and real data).
What is WordPress Caching?
Caching Involves generating — and storing — a ready-made static (i.e. unchanging) version of your website on your server ready to display to visitors at a minute's notice. This decreases the need for your site (or the user's browser) to communicate back and forth with the host to assemble the behind-the-scenes information that generates your site's web pages.
With less Communication going on between servers, and much less information being loaded each time your site is accessed, the time it takes to load your posts and pages is significantly reduced.
WP Rocket Will potentially.
· Cache all of the posts and pages on your site
· Allow browser caching
· Defer loading of JavaScript files
· Decrease bandwidth utilization with gzip compression
· optimise Google fonts
· minify and concatenate CSS and JS files
· Defer loading of images.
You might Be wondering what happens if you publish a new blog article on a cached site, because, presumably, an unchanging cached version of your site would not take this newly created data into consideration.
Not so! WP Rocket will regenerate the cached parts of your website every time you update your articles, thereby ensuring that your visitors will always find the most up-to-date version of your website.
Features of WP Rocket
It's worth Pointing out that, in terms of features alone, WP Rocket contrasts fairly favourably with its competitors. Granted, you're probably more interested in just how much faster your site will be after installing WP Rocket (and rightfully so), but it's wonderful to know you're not missing out on some important features.
With WP Rocket, you get page caching, cache preloading, gzip compression, browser caching, Google Fonts optimisation, image and movie Lazy Load, minification, plus a great deal more.
The Fundamental SETTINGS
If you do Decide to explore the further settings and options WP Rocket supplies, you'll see it's a couple of tricks up its sleeve for possibly improving speed even further, like the option to simply load media files (like pictures ) whenever the visitor reaches them on a webpage (a feature called Lazy Loading).
One of The highlights of WP Rocket is its simple installation procedure, which makes it a pretty much fool proof caching option for active WordPress webmasters. It is called being'childishly simple to set up' — something users who just want to get the job done and move on will almost certainly appreciate. Wp Rocket Generate Critical Css
click here to begin with WP Rocket now!
In fact, When the plugin has been uploaded and activated on your site, the cache will be automatically generated whenever someone visits the site. Everybody visiting your website then should immediately begin experiencing significantly faster loading times. Simple!
WP Rocket Aims to remove all such confusion by being mechanically up-and-running right from the box without being so stiff that it is unable to deliver great results. After activating WP Rocket, you will see only a couple of tabs around the admin panel, each with just a couple of easy-to-understand settings.
You can See the remainder of the basic settings screen here. When there are a few more options to utilize, the plugin works just fine without any of these enabled. This truly is plug'n' play caching for WordPress!
Of Course, it's suggested that you browse the online documentation to actually see what this plugin could do and how much extra performance you can squeeze out of it, however, for all those in a rush (or using a zero technical interest from the ins-and-outs of caching), it is safe to say speeding up your site using WP Rocket couldn't be made easier.
The primary Selling point of WP Rocket is how easy it makes enabling caching on your site. Together with many other caching plugins, you are confronted with the sometimes daunting task of knowing — and filling out — multiple pages of settings and options. Depending on how you configure them, you could easily end up accidentally doing something somewhat screwy (and even, in rare cases, inadvertently breaking your site).
WP Rocket Can be compatible with content delivery network (CDN) services. If your site is large enough to warrant dispersing its files to multiple servers around the world for quicker loading times, you'll find WP Rocket over accommodating.
There is In addition, the option to alter the default cache expiry interval. However, unless you're displaying particularly fast-changing or important external dynamic content onto your website (such as critical content from social networking feeds), the default option 24-hour lifespan should be fine.
Cache — Basic Cache Options
The Cache tab enables you to control How your page caching works at a basic level. You can. Wp Rocket Generate Critical Css
· Include/exclude mobile users from seeing cached pages.
· Include/exclude logged-in users from visiting cached pages.
· Enable caching on HTTPS pages.
· Decide how long a webpage stays cached before the cache gets cleared (the default is 10 hours).
The Majority of the time, you can Leave these as the defaults.
Media — Lazy loading + More
From the Media tab, you can enable Lazy loading for images and/or videos, as well as disable WordPress emojis and embeds.
One feature That is really nice here is your option to replace YouTube movie iframes using a static preview picture. If you embed lots of YouTube videos on your site, this really is a great way to speed up your website without sacrificing much, if any, usability.
Document Optimization — Minification Along With Concatenation
The File Optimization tab is Where you are able to set up WP Rocket's minification and concatenation performance.
· Minification — shrinks the size of your website's code by removing unnecessary characters (like whitespace) without changing any functionality.
· Concatenation — minimizes the amount of files on your website by combining multiple CSS/JS files into a single.
You can also set up some other Settings like.
· Remove gender-blocking CSS/JS (PageSpeed Insights is notorious for yelling at you about this problem ).
· Combining Google Fonts documents (useful if you use multiple Google Fonts on your website ).
· Eliminate query strings from static resources (this one will not have a big effect, but it can enhance your GTmetrix score, if you really care about that).
I urge Enabling as many of these settings as you can. I say as possible because a number of the configurations for CSS or JS may cause issues with your website (this isn't WP Rocket's fault — it is almost always a possible problem with minification/concatenation).
What I like is that WP Rocket Makes this clear once you go to activate one of these configurations.
Three cheers for great UX Design!
Preload — Preload Your Cache File
Without Preloading, your website only"assembles" the cache for a page when someone actually visits the webpage. That means the very first visitor following the cache lifespan expires doesn't observe the cached version (because the cache has not been constructed yet).
Cache Preloading enables you to ensure all visitors see the quick-loading cached page by"warming" the cache yourself, rather than waiting for a person to see the webpage.
One of the Advantages of all WP Rocket is that it provides you two different strategies to preload your cache, whereas a few caching plugins do not even provide one.
· Sitemap preloading — preloads your cache based on each of the pages on your sitemap.xml file. It has low impact, however the drawback is that it does not cache newly published or edited posts.
· Preload bot — automatically crawls URLs after you publish/edit a post to make sure that recently edited/published content can be preloaded. The only disadvantage is that it's a bit more resource intensive, which could cause issues on"weak" servers. Wp Rocket Generate Critical Css
You can choose to utilize anti virus, One, or the two methods to preload your cache, depending upon your needs.
Database — Clean Up Your Database
As your site ages, your Database will pick up all kinds of"gunk" in the form of revisions, trashed comments, transients, etc..
This area helps you clean out All that unnecessary junk from your database with a single click.
Personally, I find this to be The least exciting area of WP Rocket since there are plenty of free plugins which do a great job cleaning your database. But I guess the main advantage here is that WP Rocket eliminates the requirement for you to install a separate plugin.
CDN — Integrate With Your CDN
If you use a CDN to speed up The worldwide delivery of your site, WP Rocket can assist you.
· Rewrite your URLs to use your CDN
· Exclude specific files from your CDN
As You can Discover free Plugins to perform the first part, the next component, in addition to the fact that you're able to book CNAMEs for particular document types gives you more flexibility than most of those free options.
For example, you could use one CNAME to your images, and another for the remainder of your files.
If you're using Cloudflare, WP Rocket also comprises a dedicated Cloudflare add-on that can help you get set up using Cloudflare and control specific facets of this Cloudflare service directly from the WP Rocket interface.
And that pretty much sums up The new WP Rocket 3.0 interface!
Through The plugin settings, you could also enable caching for both mobile users and logged-in users all with a simple click. After moving to this'advanced' tab, however, things begin to get a bit more complex.
To give you even greater control over how caching Works on your site, you are also free to exclude pages in the cache by adding their URLS into the'never cache the following pages'
Through The CDN tab, you can configure the plugin to work with your content delivery system of choice, whereas the tools section gives you fast access to the clear and preload cache programs.
What's? More, should you get stuck, the FAQ and support tabs make it incredibly simple to get into the online instruction, and also open a service ticket from inside your WordPress dashboard — a lovely touch!
In General, WP Rocket intends to be everything to all people. On the other hand, it's quite easy to set up and start using on your website with default settings which truly produce good outcomes, nevertheless, on the flip side, there is also an appreciably large choice of settings and options to appeal to more sophisticated users with specific needs, or those who demand more control over how caching functions on their site.
By Default, each time you print a new post or add fresh content to your site, WP Rocket will regenerate that part of this cache. Not only that, but will also refresh the associated areas of the cache (such as the archive pages( menus, or widgets). Wp Rocket Generate Critical Css
Should You have to refresh everything in the cache, however (not just recently updated or modified content), it is possible to induce WP Rocket to regenerate it from scratch. Going a step farther, you'll also find choices to have unrelated components of your website automatically regenerated if a new post, page, product, comment, or a different kind of content has added.
field. (Note. Shopping cart and checkout pages are automatically excluded from the cache as part of their eCommerce support of WP Rocket.)
Documentation And Support
While Using WP Rocket from the box is very straightforward, should you get stuck or wish to know more of the ins and outs of how it functions, there is quite a bit of high-quality documentation provided — including a getting started section, various tutorials, useful FAQs and a handy troubleshooting section.
As long As your license remains active, you can also open tickets with support to get whatever WP Rocket-related assistance you need.
My WP Rocket Testing Outcomes
As Mentioned at the top of this guide, I had great results from using WP Rocket to cache my WordPress website. By testing the rate of my website with GTmetrix — using the default settings of WP Rocket and simply uploading and activating the plugin before generating the cache and conducting the tests — the ordinary page loading times dropped from 2.2 minutes to 0.9.
The site I tested the plugin was a WordPress blog with the free Twenty Twelve motif, with about 80 articles and 37 plugins. The website is hosted on a entry level shared hosting plan from HostGator, and has no CDN in play.
No two WordPress sites are the same, however, so that these results might not be common for many websites. They do, however, show that even a very basic WordPress site on the cheapest hosting will almost surely have the ability to achieve significantly improved load times using the plugin.
Additional Ways to Speed Up Your WordPress Website
Whether You decide to use WP Rocket in your website or not, there are a number of different ways to accelerate your WordPress website that are well worth mentioning, such as.
· Deactivating all redundant plugins (many plugins will significantly slow down your website )
· Compressing and optimising all pictures
· Employing a CDN support
· Upgrading into a WordPress-specific high-performance web host, for example WP Engine or Flywheel(if your budget permits ).
All of These are well worth trying if you have not already.
WP Rocket Pricing
With Prices beginning at only $39 to be used on one WordPress website, WP Rocket is an affordable option for most. There are also some other strong free selections available — for example WP Super Cache, also, for the technically minded, W3 Total Cache (to mention but two of many). If you're looking for something which's exceptionally easy to prepare and use, however, and also provides access to an extremely beneficial premium support desk, WP Rocket is a powerful contender.
The full Pricing options are as follows. Wp Rocket Generate Critical Css
· Personal. $39 (1 sites)
· Company. $99 (3 websites )
· Pro. $199 (unlimited sites)
All Options include one year's access to plugin updates and support. Following this period of time, you can continue using the plugin or renew your permit to keep access. There is also a 30-day refund on offer in case you are not completely satisfied with the plugin after purchase.
WP Rocket Is really quite striking. Not only is it incredibly simple to use, it also delivers great results.
Most of The activities you can carry out to optimise the speed of your site take substantial time and effort — whether that's optimising media files, reviewing and consolidating your plugins, then migrating to a different web host or altering themes. WP Rocket, on the other hand, can be implemented to your site in only a couple clicks.
What's? More, if you are a WordPress freelancer, if helping customers with their existing sites or creating sites from scratch, having something like WP Rocket on your toolkit may be of enormous benefit. In only a few minutes, you will be able to accelerate a client's website and provide them concrete results (in the shape of'before and after' online rates tests), and, when the very best way to distinguish yourself from the competition would be to offer more value to the customer, things like this will really help.
As a Data-backed article over on Moz sets it. "Quick websites have more visitors, who see more pages for longer periods of time, who come back more frequently, and are typically more likely to purchase goods or click advertisements."
Thanks to Its quick setup process, speeding up your site using WP Rocket is an easy win in the war against slow load times.

Here is the final idea for Viral.
I decided to go for a more traditional blade design such as the ones found in the English and Europe with a standard handle but instead of just been a old fashioned blade this one is embedded with futuristic technology. What I mean by this is that the blade doesn't have a solid blade end all it has is a handle. The actual blade is made of a energy called digital energy and is the only means of shutting down the main antagonist of this series. The actual Idea of this is quite interesting and others a somewhat unique and attention drawing idea that catches the attention of the target audience.

text: Cider apple classifications based on acidity and tannins were developed in 1903 by BTP Barker at the Long Ashton Research Station in N. Somerset U.K. and were an attempt to bring some semblance of order to the many apple cultivars grown specifically for cider production. Sharps, like Ashmead's Kernel and Golden Russet; Bittersharps, like Kingston Black and Wickson Crab; and Bittersweets, like Dabinett and Yarlington Mill, all add body, depth and complexity to a craft cider. Additionally, sugars, measured as Brix, are highly desirable in an apple destined for the cider press. These sugars, once consumed by yeast, are converted into alcohol. View the full poster here.

Common Causes of Estate Litigation – Part II
In considering causes of estate litigation sometimes you need not look further than to your extended family if the relationships within the extended family are acrimonious.
An extended family can include a spouse, former spouse whether legal or common-law, children and their respective spouses (and former spouses), grandchildren and their spouses (and former spouses), siblings, nieces and nephews, extra-marital partners and other dependents, whether related to you or not. It is possible that any one of the above-noted people might bring a claim against the estate, or raise a dispute. Jealousy amongst family members and/or the anticipation or expectation that they are to or will receive all or a portion of the estate, however unwarranted, may lead to family members taking unreasonable positions with respect to claims they feel they have against the estate.
In making an estate plan then, it is critical to have any and all agreements that may affect your estate plan prepared before you die. These agreements could include separation, marriage, co-habitation, partnership, employment and shareholders agreements depending on the nature and make up of your estate.
While the secrets one has from a family may be extremely touchy, emotional or just difficult to disclose or deal with, their disclosure following death may lead to demands against the estate. An extra-marital relationship, an illness of whatever kind not known to the family, a relationship with a caregiver or promises made to caregivers regarding their compensation can be examples of such secrets. For instance, a friend or family member may be assisting with one's errands or day to day care. If promises are made to the family friend or relative that they will be "looked after" upon one's death, then they may make a claim against your estate following your death if their relationship with you and/or compensation is not clearly known.
The nature of your assets and the manner in which you deal with them while you are alive can lead to problems following your death. For instance, you may have an asset that can be designated to a certain beneficiary such as an RSP, insurance proceeds or a pension. If the intended beneficiary has passed away or alternatively, your family circumstances have changed such that you no longer intend for that beneficiary to be the designated beneficiary, upon your death a dispute may arise.
Another example might be where the major assets in the estate are real estate. The beneficiaries of those assets might well get into an unnecessary argument over the handling of such assets if there is not enough cash to pay for the liabilities (i.e. taxes, expenses) that might arise upon death. This circumstance could be avoided with the purchase of sufficient life insurance to cover these liabilities upon death.
Your choice of a personal representative for your estate should also be given serious consideration. The beneficiaries of your estate will no doubt be critical of the executor and trustee appointed under your Will if the executor and trustee are perceived to be biased to certain family members.
The causes of estate litigation discussed in yesterday's and today's blogs are not an exhaustive list. The causes discussed are not in and of themselves a legal basis to make a claim against the estate. Having said that, if one does not have a well planned estate plan, the causes discussed can often lead to family members or others who believe that they deserve or are entitled to a portion of the estate to look for a basis upon which to challenge your Will or bring a claim against the estate for dependent's relief under the Family Law Act, breach of contract or perhaps constructive trust.
Have a great day.

Episode 006: Releasing Judgement to Be Your Authentic Self
What is our mission in this planet? Monika and Jan Zands' mission is to help you find your mission in this life. We often put so much expectations and judgements upon ourselves that we cannot see our true authentic self. This month's topic is "Your way is not the only way," Monika and Jan continue exploring the different perspectives in which we can perceive reality.
How we chose to experience our life makes all the difference. Your lens (perspective) changes according to all the variables you are immersed in. Different realms combine everyday to lead our perception. — The physical realm, is your body which is giving you messages constantly, whether we acknowledge them or not. — The mental realm is your thoughts. — The emotional realm is your feelings. — The spiritual realm is the often most challenging to noticed, the energy around it is love. Any of these realms can be clogged, it is important to have movement in the different realms. When you receive information, the mental realm is the one working, but all the realms need to take part, in order for people to find true healing.
Ask yourself the following question: "Am I willing to consider?" getting off your way as the only way starts there, just being willing to listen to another perspective. Limited and dynamic perceptions of reality are explored again during this show, but going deeply into the feelings, especially the "upsets," which are beautiful gifts of the universe that tell where we need to focus our attention. Then we make assumptions and have an interpretation, afterwards we get in touch with our feelings and we make future choices based on those feelings, building a behavior. If it feels like an upset, usually underneath there is a judgement. One of the sources of human suffering is wishing that things should be different from the way they are.
"Healing is the application of loving to the parts that hurt." This is the principle of compassion. Practice with Jan and Monika, let them lead you to find your own assumptions/judgements and find the healing you are needing. The work is to forgive yourself, doing the best you can, this is the access to freedom. Practice compassion and forgiveness towards yourself, release self-judgements, start healing and getting in touch with your authentic self.

Simple living through homegrown foods, artisanal skills and a deep connection with nature.
There is a big movement right now to leave out the carbs and eat foods out of a bowl. I gotta say I am a big fan of food in bowls. I am definitely from the mindset that food should mix…my kids would gasp.
I found this recipe on one of my many bouts of eating right and trying to lose weight. I guess those forays are good for something – a collection of yummy recipes. Although, I made a little adjustment…..I added the egg roll wrapper back in. I love Pork Egg Roll in a Bowl, but I was just too curious about wrapping an egg roll to not give it a whirl.
I only made a few egg rolls though – because I still love my food in bowls. So, here we go with Pork Egg Roll – 2 ways – with and without the wrapper. Oh, and as always, I tweaked it a bit….
Let's get cooking.
I made this recipe because I had leftover cabbage and carrots from our highly successful St Patrick's Day corned beef and cabbage dinner. So, I chopped up the cabbage, the carrots and the stems of some broccoli to add in – who knows how much I added – maybe a bit more than usual. I honestly don't measure anything in this recipe because it is just so easy to make and so forgiving. Have fun with it.
Heat up the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add garlic and onions and saute until translucent.
Add pork, ginger, sriracha and salt and pepper and saute until the pork is cooked through.
Hey – Let's talk about ginger for a second – I never have fresh ginger on hand for when I decide to make a recipe, honestly who does? Instead, I peel ginger when I do have it and freeze it in small chunks. Then when I want some fresh ginger, I take out of the freezer and grate it frozen. It's actually easier to grate this way! Or, you can just purchase one of those tubes of grated ginger if you'd rather, but the frozen method is better for our environment and will last longer. Goodness it smells amazing
OK, back to the recipe – once the pork is cooked, add your veggie mix – homemade or from the bag. Add the coconut or liquid aminos (or soy sauce) and your rice vinegar. Give it a stir and let the veggies cook until tender. Because I added so many veggies, I put a lid on my skillet to help the thicker veggies cook faster.
That's it for your Pork Egg Roll in a Bowl – sprinkle some sesame seeds on top and grab your chopsticks.
Now, let's move on to the actual Pork Egg Rolls. I have never made egg rolls before, but I figured, what the hell, let's try it! I bought egg roll wrappers in the produce section at my local grocery store. There are a ton of them in a package, so be prepared to make alot of egg rolls or freeze the leftovers for another time. I only wanted to try a few and keep my egg roll in a bowl as well, so I packaged and froze the leftovers.
The procedure of how to wrap is on the egg wrapper packaging – it's basically like folding an envelope. Once you place the filling, wrap them up and place them on a sheet pan, then brush them with a little olive oil and throw them in the oven at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
They look delicious….let's try them! MMMMMMM….go make these babies – they are good BOTH ways.

Why Should You Care About Theology?
Selected Scriptures
Systematic Theology approaches the entire Bible as a comprehensive whole - its various topics, arranging those topics, and how each applies to a particular area of study. But if you're not a church leader, professor, or seminary student, why is that so important?
Tom Pennington in his series Why Should You Care About Theology? defines Systematic Theology, defends it against critics, and applies it in practical ways. You'll see the difference being equipped to handle God's word makes in how you live your Christian life each day. Doctrine and Christian experience are intimately related, and you will only grow to the extent that you understand God's word.

Traveling to the Bay Area may conjure up mental pictures of an urban landscape full of steep hills, cable car rides, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Seeing all the sights in San Francisco, a Northern California treasure, is high priority on many travelers' list. Now more than ever, there are sustainable approaches to taking in all the Bay Area has to offer, without putting an excess amount of harm on the environment. Only have one weekend to do so? With unique neighborhoods, trendy restaurants and shopping, San Francisco proves itself to be a city lover's environmental playground.
The Orchard Hotel, a sustainable boutique hotel, is located in the heart of San Francisco. Surrounded by the shopping district of Union Square, visitors staying at the Orchard Hotel are never far from retail stores and sales. The prime location of the hotel is just one of its attractive features, while other positives include being LEED certified. The Orchard Hotel has this prestigious certification because of its continuous work to provide a healthy and sustainable environment for guests to stay. It is the second hotel in California to be presented with this specific distinction. Everything from the materials of the building and interior decor to the maintenance of the establishment is done with green products and solutions. The low impact of the hotel on the environment assures visitors that their stay in San Francisco is doing minimal harm to the city. Tourists staying at the Orchard Hotel can sleep well at night knowing that not only are they being taken care of, but San Francisco is as well.
San Francisco's most iconic monument is easily the Golden Gate Bridge. For those who are adventurous and not afraid of heights, a walk across the 1.7 mile bridge will bring panoramic views of the Bay Area. Great photo opportunities are present throughout the walk, and the activity continues to remain a green solution to traveling across the bridge.
To experience its beauty to the full extent, any visitor can spend some a leisurely part of the day at the Golden Gate Park. With an expansive 1,017 acres of green grass and scenic overlooks, the park is a great public space that anyone can go enjoy. Located in the western portion of San Francisco, it occupies three miles along the waterfront. Over 13 million people visit the Golden Gate Park each year, which makes it one of the city's most popular destinations. The park hosts an array of cultural and horticultural experiences for both children and adults. Visitors are able to immerse themselves in eco friendly walks and tours of that explains the nature and history of the park. The Golden Gate Park is also the sight of the San Francisco Botanical Garden and Japanese Tea Garden. Both beautiful areas with nature all around, visitors can truly experience a part of the environment while still in the midst of a fast paced city.
Anyone with an organic appetite can appreciate the Upper Haight Farmer's Market. Visitors who happen to be in the Golden Gate Park on Wednesdays can enjoy the seasonal foods of the farmer's market. Operating in the afternoons from 4-8 PM, the Upper Haight Farmer's Market brings locally sourced organic food to consumers right in the middle of San Francisco's popular park. Munching on some snacks or creating a picnic in the park is one of the most eco friendly options, right under the Golden Gate Bridge.
San Francisco is a nature lover's optimal destination for eating with an eco friendly mindset. Bar Jules is a great option for anyone who wants to maintain a green diet while visiting the Bay Area. The dining establishment serves lunch, dinner, and brunch on the weekends. The chefs at the restaurant believe in providing customers with only the freshest, organic foods. The ingredients are bought from local farmer's markets, which is good for the local economy and gives back to the community. Meat and fish used in the dishes are all sustainable items.
Another dining option is conveniently located back at the Orchard Hotel. The hotel's own restaurant, Daffodil, maintains an environmentally conscious style of cooking while set within the green hotel. Chefs at the restaurant strictly use seasonal ingredients from local markets, which adheres to the restaurant's theme of sustainable food. Daffodil restaurant strives to bring affordable, green plates to its diners.
For those who want to see a host of farmer's markets all in one area, the Ferry Building Marketplace is a spot not to miss. 80 farmers from local areas bring their produce to sell at the large market place. Foodies and anyone who simply has an appetite for fresh eats can wander through the expansive Ferry Building, snacking on all sorts of organic goodies. The Ferry Building Marketplace is a favorite destination for visitors and locals alike.
Any tourist will know that exploring an area by foot is one of the best ways to truly experience the natural pulse of the city. For anyone with the willpower to take on San Francisco's infamous hills, walking around the unique neighborhoods on the city can highlight the way daily residents live. Walking up and down the often times steep inclinations of San Francisco streets is just part of the travel experience. Visiting Lombard Street, the famous crooked street in the city, shows just how distinct the city's geography is. Walking through the neighborhoods on San Francisco can be good exercise for anyone, which allows visitors to take full advantage of the cable car when they become tired. The cable car system has become a National Historic Landmark, with over 7 million people riding them each year. Cable car rides are available throughout the city, and are easily accessible. No matter how long or short a trip to San Francisco is, the urban area provides visitors diverse environmentally friendly ways to experience all the city has to offer in true green style.

This film is all kinds of weird. I have no idea why it even got on to my list, but that's not to say it wasn't interesting to watch.
A father, mother and three teenage children live in isolation in the Greek countryside. The father is the only one in the family who is allowed to leave the grounds of their home, and only one person from the outside ever enters. She, ultimately, is the one who upsets the balance of the cocoon.
In trying to find out more about the film, I have found it described as an 'erotic horror' film. It's horror in the sense that the circumstance in which the family lives is horrific (despite the idyllic Greek sunshine and swimming pool). There are some scenes of a highly sexual nature but they are by no means erotic.
This is a curious, at times grotesque and very singular film – watch it only if you are prepared to be challenged from the first scene to the last.

Guidelines include a reduced number of vehicle entries, encouraging float and parade participants to be creative and find new environmentally sensitive forms of transportation along the parade route. Float participants will also be asked to limit the distribution of plastic and paper products in order to minimize waste during the event.
Mark Hoblitzell, environmental sustainability coordinator for the Town of Vail, is excited by the progress of event organizer Highline Sports and Entertainment and their commitment to advancing sustainability efforts for the town's annual Fourth of July celebration. "The Town of Vail's Celebrate Green events program establishes a baseline of sustainable event practices and it is commendable to see event producers going above and beyond to embrace Vail's certification as a sustainable destination," he said. For more information on the Town of Vail's sustainability plan click here.
This year's parade will be limited to the first 60 entries that submit complete applications by the 5 p.m. deadline on June 18. For applications and more information, visit vailamericadays.com.
Vail's colorful Independence Day parade is a centerpiece of the Vail America DaysTM celebration.

Entry fees vary from $75 for a non-profit float, to $125 for individuals and $250 for a business.
The parade will begin at Golden Peak and continue west to Hanson Ranch Road, north on Bridge Street, west on Gore Creek Drive, north across the International Bridge, west along Meadow Drive and finally through the Lionshead Mall to the finish. Volunteers are needed to help organizers keep the parade moving. Duties include carrying banners and assisting with traffic.
