Intro Up Rocket
Don't you Just hate slow sites? Well, you are definitely not alone. your visitors despise them and, to make things worse, so does Google. That's right, if you'd like your website to rank highly in search engines, sell more goods, generate more prospects, earn more revenue, or just deliver a more positive user experience, it needs to load quickly. Up Rocket
click here to get started using WP Rocket today!
So just how Can you create your WordPress website quicker? Well, if you're still using a generic shared web host, among the most effective options will, naturally, be to just change to a higher performance hosting company. However, what if you just have not got the time or money to make the switch?
Well, Luckily, there's something different you can do that's extremely quick and simple — something that requires next-to-no technical know-how whatsoever! I am talking, of course, about using a caching plugin.
Today, I'll be taking an in-depth look at one of the leading caching plugins round. WP Rocket. In the next review, I will show you by exactly how much — and how easily — it can speed up your site (using real-life evaluations and real data).
What is WordPress Caching?
Caching Involves generating — and storing — a readymade static (i.e. unchanging) version of your website in your server ready to display to people at a minute's notice. This reduces the demand for your site (or the consumer's browser) to communicate back and forth with the host to build the behind-the-scenes information that creates your website's web pages.
With less Communication happening between servers, and much less information being loaded each time your site is obtained, the time it takes to load your articles and pages is considerably reduced.
WP Rocket Will possibly.
· Cache all of the articles and pages on your own site
· Allow browser caching
· Defer loading of JavaScript files
· Decrease bandwidth usage with gzip compression
· optimise Google fonts
· minify and concatenate CSS and JS files
· Defer loading of pictures.
You might Be wondering what happens if you publish a new blog post on a cached website, because, paradoxically, an unchanging cached version of your site would not take this newly created data into account.
Not so! WP Rocket will regenerate the cached parts of your website each time you update your articles, thereby ensuring your visitors will always see the most up-to-date version of your website.
Features of WP Rocket
It is worth Pointing out that, when it comes to features alone, WP Rocket compares pretty favourably with its rivals. Granted, you're probably more interested in just how much faster your website will be following installing WP Rocket (and rightfully so), however it's nice to know you're not missing out on any significant features.
With WP Rocket, you get page caching, cache preloading, gzip compression, browser caching, Google Fonts optimisation, image and movie Lazy Load, minification, and a great deal more.
The Fundamental SETTINGS
If you do Choose to explore the further settings and options WP Rocket provides, you'll see it has a few tricks up its sleeve to get possibly improving speed much further, like the choice to only load media files (such as pictures ) whenever the visitor reaches them onto a page (a feature known as Lazy Loading).
One of The highlights of WP Rocket is the simple setup process, making it a pretty much fool proof caching option for busy WordPress webmasters. It's described as being'childishly easy to set up' — something customers who just need to get the work done and proceed will almost surely appreciate. Up Rocket
click here to begin using WP Rocket now!
Actually, Once the plugin has been uploaded and activated on your site, the cache will be automatically generated whenever someone visits the website. Everyone visiting your site thereafter should immediately start experiencing significantly faster loading times. Simple!
WP Rocket Aims to eliminate all such confusion by being mechanically up-and-running right out of the box without being so rigid that it is unable to deliver great results. After tripping WP Rocket, you will see just a few tabs on the admin panel, each with only a few easy-to-understand settings.
You can See the rest of the basic settings display here. When there are a few more options to utilize, the plugin works just fine without any of these empowered. This really is plug'n' play caching for WordPress!
Of Course, it's recommended that you read the online documentation to really see what this plugin could do and just how much extra performance you can squeeze out of it, but, for those in a rush (or using a zero technical curiosity from the ins-and-outs of caching), it's safe to say that speeding up your website with WP Rocket couldn't be made easier.
The main Selling purpose of WP Rocket is how easy it makes allowing caching on your site. With many other caching plugins, you are faced with the sometimes daunting task of understanding — and filling out — multiple pages of settings and options. Based on how you configure them, you might easily end up accidentally doing something a bit screwy (and even, in rare cases, inadvertently breaking your site).
WP Rocket Is also compatible with content delivery network (CDN) services. if your site is big enough to warrant dispersing its documents to multiple servers across the world for quicker loading times, you'll find WP Rocket more than accommodating.
Custom Made CACHE LIFESPAN
There is In addition, the choice to modify the default cache interval. But, unless you are displaying especially fast-changing or important external dynamic content on your website (such as critical content from societal media feeds), the default option 24-hour lifespan should be OK.
Cache — Fundamental Cache Options
The Cache tab lets you control How your page caching functions at a basic level. you're able to. Up Rocket
· Include/exclude mobile users from seeing cached pages.
· Include/exclude logged-in users from visiting cached pages.
· Enable caching on HTTPS pages.
· Choose how long a webpage stays cached before the cache gets cleared (the default is 10 hours).
Most of the time, you can Leave these as the defaults.
Media — Lazy loading + More
In the Media tab, you can empower Lazy loading for videos or images, in addition to disable WordPress emojis and embeds.
1 feature That's really nice here is the choice to replace YouTube movie iframes with a static preview picture. If you embed a lot of YouTube videos on your website, this really is a great way to speed up your website without sacrificing much, if any, usability.
File Optimization — Minification And Concatenation
The File Optimization tab is Where you are able to set up WP Rocket's minification and concatenation functionality.
· Minification — shrinks the size of your website's code by removing unnecessary characters (such as whitespace) without changing any functionality.
· Concatenation — reduces the number of files on your website by combining multiple CSS/JS files into one.
You can also install some other Settings like.
· Remove gender-blocking CSS/JS (PageSpeed Insights is notorious for yelling at you about this problem ).
· Combining Google Fonts files (useful if you use multiple Google Fonts on your own website ).
· Eliminate query strings from static sources (this you won't have a major impact, but it can improve your GTmetrix score, even should you really care about that).
I recommend Enabling as a number of these settings as possible. I say as possible because some of the configurations for CSS or JS may cause difficulties with your site (this is not WP Rocket's fault — it's always a possible issue with minification/concatenation).
What I enjoy is that WP Rocket Makes this clear when you go to activate one of those settings.
Three cheers for great UX Design!
Preload — Preload Your Cache File
Without Preloading, your website only"builds" the cache for a page when someone actually visits the webpage. That means the first visitor following the cache lifespan expires does not see the cached version (since the cache hasn't been built yet).
Cache Preloading enables you to guarantee all visitors view the quick-loading cached page by"warming" the cache yourself, rather than waiting for a person to visit the webpage.
One of the Benefits of all WP Rocket is that it provides you two distinct strategies to preload your cache, whereas a few caching plugins do not even provide one.
· Sitemap preloading — Reload your cache based on each of the pages in your sitemap.xml file. It's low impact, however the disadvantage is that it does not cache freshly published or edited posts.
· Preload bot — mechanically crawls URLs once you publish/edit a post to make sure that newly edited/published content can be preloaded. The only downside is the fact that it's a little bit more resource intensive, which could cause issues on"weak" web servers. Up Rocket
You Can Opt to utilize anti virus, One, or the two methods to preload your cache, depending on your needs.
Database — Clean Up Your Database
As your website ages, your Database will pick up all types of"gunk" from the form of revisions, trashed opinions, transients, etc..
This area helps you clean out All that unnecessary junk from the database with a single click.
Personally, I find this to be The least exciting region of WP Rocket since there are loads of free plugins which do a fantastic job cleaning your database. But I guess the main advantage here is that WP Rocket removes the requirement for you to install another plugin.
CDN — Integrate With Your CDN
If you use a CDN to accelerate The global delivery of your website, WP Rocket can help you.
· Rewrite your URLs to use your CDN
· Exclude specific files from the CDN
As You can find free Plugins to perform the first part, the next part, in addition to the fact which you can reserve CNAMEs for particular file types, provides you more flexibility than many of those free options.
For example, you could use one CNAME to your images, and another for the remainder of your documents.
If you are using Cloudflare, WP Rocket also includes a dedicated Cloudflare add-on that can help you get setup with Cloudflare and control specific aspects of the Cloudflare service right from the WP Rocket interface.
And that pretty much sums up The new WP Rocket 3.0 interface!
Through The plugin settings, you can also enable caching for both mobile users and logged-in users — all with a simple click. After moving on to the'advanced' tab, however, things begin to get a little more complicated.
To give you greater control over how caching Works on your site, you are also free to exclude pages from the cache by adding their URLS to the'not cache the subsequent pages'
Through The CDN tab, you can configure the plugin to work together with your content delivery system of choice, whereas the tools section gives you quick access to the clear and preload cache buttons.
What's More, in the event you get stuck, the FAQ and support tabs make it exceptionally easy to get into the online documentation, and also open a support ticket from within your WordPress dashboard — a beautiful touch!
Overall, WP Rocket intends to be all things to all people. On one hand, it's very simple to set up and start using on your website with default settings that actually create good outcomes, nevertheless, on the flip side, there's also an appreciably large selection of configurations and options to appeal to more advanced users with particular needs, or those who demand more control over how caching works on their site.
By Default, every time you print a new post or add fresh content to your site, WP Rocket will regenerate that part of the cache. Furthermore, it will also refresh the associated areas of the cache (including the archive pages, menus, or widgets). Up Rocket
If You have to refresh everything in the cache, however (not just recently updated or modified content), it is possible to force WP Rocket to regenerate it from scratch. Going a step farther, you will also find choices to have unrelated components of your site automatically regenerated when a new post, page, product, remark, or another kind of content has added.
field. (Note. Shopping cart and checkout pages are automatically excluded in the cache as part of their eCommerce service of WP Rocket.)
Documentation And Support
Even though Using WP Rocket from the box is very simple, in the event you get stuck or need to know more about the ins and outs of how it functions, there is quite a little high-quality documentation supplied — such as a getting started section, various tutorials, useful FAQs and a convenient troubleshooting section.
As long As your licence is still active, you may even open tickets with support to get whatever WP Rocket-related help you need?
My WP Rocket Testing Results
As Mentioned at the top of this guide, I had excellent results from using WP Rocket to cache my WordPress site. By testing the speed of my site using GTmetrix — with the default settings of WP Rocket and uploading and activating the plugin before creating the cache and running the tests — that the average page loading times dropped from 2.2 seconds to 0.9.
The Website I tested the plugin was a WordPress blog using the free Twenty Twelve motif, with about 80 posts 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, though, so these results might not be typical for many sites. They do, however, show that even a very basic WordPress site on the cheapest hosting will almost certainly have the ability to achieve significantly improved load times using the plugin.
Additional Methods to Speed Up Your WordPress Website
Whether You decide to use WP Rocket on your site or not, there are a range of different ways to speed up your WordPress website that is worth mentioning, for example.
· Deactivating all redundant plugins (many plugins will significantly slow down your site)
· Compressing and optimising all images
· Employing a CDN support
· Updating to a WordPress-specific high-performance hosting company, such as WP Engine or Flywheel (if your budget allows).
All of All these are well worth trying in the event that you have not already.
WP Rocket Pricing
With Prices starting at just $39 to be used on one WordPress site, WP Rocket is an inexpensive alternative for many. Additionally, there are some other strong free selections available — such as WP Super Cache, also, for the technically minded, W3 Total Cache (to name but two of many. If you're searching for something which's exceptionally easy to set up and use, though, and also provides access to a very beneficial premium service desk, WP Rocket is a powerful competitor.
The full Pricing options are as follows. Up Rocket
· Personal. $39 (1 sites)
· Company. $99 (3 sites)
· Pro. $199 (unlimited sites)
All Options include one year's access to plugin updates and service. After this period of time, you can continue using the plugin or renew your licence to maintain 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 extremely simple to use, it also delivers great results.
Most of The activities you'll be able to execute to optimise the rate of your site take substantial time and effort — if that's optimising media files, reviewing and consolidating your plugins, migrating to a new web host or changing topics. WP Rocket, on the other hand, can be applied to your site in only a couple clicks.
What's More, if you are a WordPress freelancer, if helping clients with their existing sites or creating sites from scratch, then having something like WP Rocket on your toolkit may be of huge benefit. In just a few minutes, you will be able to speed up a client's website and deliver them concrete outcomes (in the form of'before and after' online speeds tests), also, when the best way to distinguish yourself from your competition is to provide more value to this customer, things like this can definitely help.
As a Data-backed article over on Moz sets it. "Quick websites have more visitors, who visit more pages for longer periods of time, who return more frequently, and are generally more inclined to buy products or click advertisements."
Due to Its quick set-up procedure, speeding up your site with WP Rocket really is an easy triumph in the war against slow loading times.

by Roger Childs
It is 1708 and the ageing, childless, gout-ridden Queen Ann is on the English throne. The Duke of Marlborough is winning battles against the French in Europe, but needs more troops.
His wife Sarah is the Queen's favourite and is practically running the government. The two main political factions –- the Tories and Whigs -– have different views over what should be done about the Duke's demands, and they are there in all their finery, at the Queen's summer palace pressing their cases.
Then Abigail, from a once aristocratic family, turns up at the royal residence covered in mud after being booted out of a carriage. After initially fitting in as a kitchen maid, she becomes a friend of Sarah and ultimately the queen. Then the contest starts as to who will be the leading royal favourite.
The film has great settings, costumes, music and acting. The language and behaviour is rather extreme at times and it won't be everyone's cup of tea. However, this is a fascinating study in a setting befitting the English upper crust of drama and manners, intrigue and rivalry, friendship and betrayal.
To help those whose knowledge of the early 18th century is somewhat hazy, a little historical background would have been helpful at the start of The Favourite. However, it doesn't take long to work out what is going on.
There is a very authentic feel about the movie and it's great to see the three leading roles taken by women. Their performances are superb. The Favourite is a highly enjoyable, fast moving and, at times, ribald romp about a time in English history that has been rarely featured on film.

Has A Decent (Dead)Pool Of Characters To Choose From
(I am a 25-year-old female. A male customer, probably around my age, comes up to my counter where I'm cashiering. I notice his t-shirt, which has several Marvel Comics characters on it.)
Me: "I like your t-shirt."
(Customer looks at me and raises an eyebrow, like he clearly doesn't believe I'd be a comic book fan.)
Customer: *pretentiously* "Yeah, a lot of people say that. The real question is, which one is your favorite?"
Me: "Captain America, although I also have a fondness for the Hulk."
Customer: "My favorites are Thor and Wolverine."
Me: "I also really like Deadpool."
(The customer pauses and looks confused.)
Customer: "Which one?"
Me: "Deadpool."
Customer: *clearly having no idea who Deadpool is* "Oh…"
(The guy behind him in line gave me an admiring look.)

A powerful earthquake shaken a wide area of south and central Asia today (Sunday), leaving at least one dead and at least 18 injured.
The one known death was in Kabul where a 44-year-old man was crushed when a wall of his house collapsed on him. At least seven people were hospitalized with injuries in Kabul, where the quake collapsed scores of buildings and sent residents streaming out of their homes in panic. There were similar reports from cities all across the region - as far north as Tajikistan, as far south as Islamabad and Lahore, as far east as New Delhi.
Pakistani and Indian seismologists measured the quake at 6-point-seven on the Richter scale, but the U-S Geological Survey in Golden, Colorado put the quake at 7-point-two. It placed the epicenter in the Hindu Kush mountains on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press said 11 girl students were injured when part of their school collapsed.

John 11:17-21,28,29
Jesus the Resurrection and the Life
When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days. Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, some two miles away, and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them about their brother. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary stayed at home. Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died...
When she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary, and told her privately, "The Teacher is here and is calling for you." And when she heard it, she got up quickly and went to him.
Mary stayed at home
the better to nurse her wrath
Knowing that as soon as she saw him,
Jesus, the beloved,
she would cave as she always did
She needed solitude
to stoke the fires
of her anger and self pity
She needed to be alone
to add fuel to her resentment.
But she couldn't hold out
once Jesus got there
She couldn't resist the pull
of his charisma
She had to shake off her fury
and go to him -
To confront him?
To accuse him?
Who knows?
But once he was near
She could not stay away.

Biography - Samuel Hester
SAMUEL W. HESTER. A very neat and well-kept establishment is that of Samuel W. Hester, who is a successful merchant of Metropolis, Ill., his stock of goods being large and complete in the most select and latest styles and designs. It is needless to add that Mr. Hester thoroughly understands every branch of the business and is able to give his patrons the benefit of the very best experience. He is a son of John J. Hester, who was born in Virginia in 1817, was there reared on a farm, and obtained a thorough common-school education in the rural districts. Upon becoming legally responsible for his actions he started out in life for himself, and, as was but natural, chose the occupation of farming, for with that he was the most familiar. He became a resident of the State of Illinois in 1853, and settled in Randolph County, where he made his home until 1856, when he entered a tract of land in Johnson County, which he continued to work and improve until 1862. He then accepted the position of Deputy Sheriff, the duties of which he discharged in an able and praiseworthy manner for several years, and was then chosen Sheriff, his official career meeting with such general satisfaction that he was retained in the position for twelve years. He is now living at New Burnside, in Johnson County, Ill. He was married in 1838, to Miss Elizabeth Matthews of Kentucky, and to them thirteen children were born, of whom the following named are living: Samuel W.; Mary M., widow of D. Sherer; Newton J.; and Adaline, widow of David Renfro. John, William E. and Josiah are dead, and the remaining members of the family died in early childhood.
Samuel W. Hester was born in Trigg County, Ky., December 23, 1841, and his youth and early manhood were spent on a farm. On the 22d of August, 1861, he could no longer repress his patriotic feeling and accordingly enlisted in Company D, Thirty-first Illinois Infantry, under John A. Logan, and with his command was sent to the scene of action. He was afterward in the engagements at Belmont, Ft. Henry, Ft. Donelson, Shiloh, Corinth, Ft. Gibson, Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hills, Vicksburg, Lost Mountain and Atlanta. He was with Sherman in his notable march to the sea, and closed his military career with the Grand Review at Washington, D. C. He received his discharge at Springfield, Ill., and returned to his home with the consciousness of having performed every duty assigned him to the best of his ability and to the satisfaction of his commanding officers. He was faithful, courageous and zealous, and it is to such men as Mr. Hester that the country owes its salvation. His health was much impaired by the hardships in the field and on the march and he was almost blind with sore eyes, with which he had been troubled for three years.
For several years Mr. Hester worked as a laborer in a gristmill and also at carpentering, then clerked in a dry-goods store for one year. He then gave up his clerical position to turn his attention to tilling the soil, and after farming on rented land for two years, he purchased a place of his own and spent three years in bringing it to a good state of cultivation and improvement. He then sold his property and took up his residence in Metropolis, where he founded his present mercantile establishment, which has been a financial success from the start. Mr. Hester has always been a live, energetic business man and he has ever retained the confidence of the community at large, and brings to bear the qualifications essential to maintain a leading place in his line of trade.
Mr. Hester has been married three times, first in September, 1865, to Amanda Depoyster, of Vienna, Ill., who bore him four children: Clara Bell (deceased), Edgar A., Franklin J. and Cora May. The mother died in December, 1874, and in July, 1876, he wedded Alice Johnson, of New Burnside, Ill., and to them four children were also given: one who died in infancy; William, deceased; Arthur and Kirk. In October, 1885, Mr. Hester was again left a widower, and in June, 1886, he espoused Miss Sarah A. Baker, of Illinois. They have three children: Robert C. (deceased), Gracie and Bessie. Mr. Hester is a member of Post No. 365, G. A. R. and politically is a Republican. He and his wife are members of the Baptist Church.

Silenced by virus, Met Opera links for digital global gala

Music director Yannick Nézet-Séguini in Mointreal is in the fourth row from top, sixth from left. (Metropolitan Opera via AP)
Ronald Blum, The Associated Press
Published Sunday, April 26, 2020 9:06PM EDT
NEW YORK - Javier Camarena was at his home in Zurich singing an aria from Bellini's "Il Pirata" when the screen for the video feed split, and he was joined by Metropolitan Opera music director Yannick Nezet-Seguin in Montreal and general manager Peter Gelb in New York.
"Just a second," the tenor from Mexico said, raising an index finger.
He had just finished the slow-moving first section. An associate director an ocean away didn't realize he also planned to perform the cabaletta, the faster-moving second part. Restored to a full screen, Camarena continued.
With the entertainment world shut down by the coronavirus pandemic, the Met staged an At-Home Gala on Saturday that would have been inconceivable to the Vanderbilts and Morgans who helped found the company in 1883. A starry array of classical music's biggest names sang live on Skype from their living rooms across 13 nations, including Renee Fleming in Virginia, Jonas Kaufmann in Germany, Bryn Terfel in Wales and Roberto Alagna in France.
Thirty-three live and seven prerecorded performances stretched for four hours. The Met said the live stream on its website that started at 1 p.m. EDT Saturday peaked at about 300,000 views in 162 countries and the total with replays was expected to reach 1 million by Sunday night.
Gelb, trying to overcome a budget deficit of up to $60 million, said there were many small donations but it was too early to total.
"It was a temporary kind of panacea and it just lifted people's spirits in a way that would never have happened. This type of program only works because of the horrible conditions that we're in right now," Gelb said Sunday. "I got so many emails and text messages from people that said that they were in tears for large portions of this program."
Joyce DiDonato, in Spain, joined seven violists and Nezet-Seguin in a recorded tribute to Vincent Lionti, a Met violist for 33 years who died on April 4 after contracting the coronavirus. Nezet-Seguin sniffled after watching the playback of Handel's "Ombra mai fu."
"To lose him to the virus made this reality so much closer, immediate, that we could lose a member of our family to this threat," Nezet-Seguin said.
Erin Morley, Matthew Polenzani, Etienne Dupuis and Gunther Groissböck showed off their piano-playing abilities, accompanying themselves. Dupuis and wife Nicole Car sang a duet from Massenet's "Thais" after an initial connectivity delay.
Artists' homes were on showcase: Kaufmann has a Bösendorfer piano surrounded by red theatre-style seats in Munich; Anita Rachvelishvili has a "NO AUTOGRAPHS PLEASE" sign on her piano in Tbilisi, Georgia; Rene Pape has a red Le Corbusier chair and decorative Fornasetti globe in Dresden. Groissböck has a model of the Met on his piano and a statue of composer Richard Wagner in a corner wearing a blue facemask with the word: "No."
Attire ranged from Alagna in a tuxedo jacket, blue jeans and what appeared to be a soccer jersey, to Sonya Yoncheva in a white-and-black recital ready dress.
Ildar Abdrazakov in Moscow sang in Moscow just a few hours before his wife gave birth to a son.
Her face flush with emotion, Fleming gave one of the most moving performances, the "Ave Maria" from Verdi's "Otello." After a few moments of quiet, Gelb's microphone caught him saying "Go, Gary," to director Gary Halvorson in Los Angeles, a sign of the unusual technical logistics.
Some singers used recorded piano tracks played by Met director of music administration Thomas Lausmann and assistant conductors Howard Watkins and Bryan Wagorn. Lisette Oropesa went a step further, having a video of pianist Michael Borowitz on a video screen behind her playing "Idole de ma vie" from Meyerbeer's "Robert Le Diable."
Morley provided one of the best performances with fluid voice, considerable piano skill and ebullient personality in "Chacun le sait" from Donizetti's "La fille du regiment (The Daughter of the Regiment)," imploring viewers to "sing along" for the choruses. Isabel Leonard sang an inspiring a cappella for "Somewhere" from Bernstein's "West Side Story."
Another highlight was Diana Damrau and husband Nicolas Teste in "La ci darem la mano" from Mozart's "Don Giovanni" while standing in front of their kitchen in Orange, France, joined after by excited sons Alexander and Colyn. Unable to perform at home in Vienna, Anna Netrebko and husband Yusif Eyvazov recorded separate pieces at an ORF network studio.
In the hardest technical tasks, lead video editor Pete Scalzitti spent most of the previous week piecing together the individual orchestra and choral videos for the intermezzo from Mascagni's "Cavelleria Rusticana," the "Va, pensiero" chorus from Verdi's "Nabucco" and the third act prelude of Wagner's "Lohengrin." Nezet-Seguin air conducted as a video was made, and Lausmann used it to create a piano accompaniment sent to the players and singers. Up to 90 squares were used to show the videos aligned simultaneously, and David Frost mixed most to the audio.
Unable to globe trot, performers were happy to entertain. Many introduced and bantered with the person up next.
"Ooh, it's fun to get to sing again!" Jamie Barton exclaimed.

Local Archery Contest Draws Many Northwest Shooting Competitors
Local archers had an opportunity to match their skills against competitors from Idaho, Canada, and Western Washington last Saturday at the second annual Northwest Animals on the Mountain 3D Archery Tournament.
Archers walked a trail on the hill overlooking the home of Dean and Barbara Hanley on Quarry Browns Lake Road, stopping to shoot at three-dimensional targets set at various distances.
"There were 40 top quality 3D Rinehart targets, all set at what we call unmarked distances," explained Lady Red, one of the organizers of the tournament. "The targets ranged in size from a three-foot fish to an eight-foot full-size elk, and there was also a dinosaur target.
The course was set up for all ages and skill levels of shooters. Stakes in the ground specified the place from which each classification of archers could shoot.
"We had 78 shooters on Saturday," said Red. "They ranged in age from seven years old to those up into their 70s. We added a senior class this year at the suggestion of one of our visitors, and we had competitors this year in that classification. They walked the course in groups, stopping at each shooting stake to take a single shot at the target.
"The stakes for each target were at different distances, depending on the different divisions of the shooters. The only exception was the Pee Wee Class, which could shoot from anywhere they wanted."
Bow hunter freestyle was the most popular division again at this year's tournament.
"There must have been about 50 shooters in the bow hunter freestyle category," said local bow hunter Gib Earl. "The targets were set at up to 65 yards away.
"There was also an open class for shooters with more gadgets and gizmos on their bows, like movable sights and scopes."
And, of course, there was a division for traditional archers who shoot longbows or recurve bows.
"It took most shooters a half-day to walk the course," said Red. "The course was challenging for experienced shooters, but it was set up so that even beginning shooters could enjoy it. The course was not set up just for professional shooters, but for every level of experience, including families. We probably had 25 local shooters. The rest were from out of town."
Lunch was provided by the local 4H Club as a fundraiser to promote its programs and activities.
"This is one way we try to give back to the community," said Red. "Last year, the lunch was served by the youth trap club."
Trophies were awarded up to fifth place in each division for Saturday's shoot.
"We will have two more tournaments this summer, one on July 14 and the other on August 18," said Red. "Both will be at the same location on the Hanley farm along Quarry Browns Lake Road.

Poem: Just Not Us (Winner, Lee County Aspiring Author Contest)
May 14, 2018
I was told as a child that my lips were too big.
Now women get lip injections and overline their lips.
A white kid told me that my cornrows were ghetto.
Now Instagram models see it as a trend and call them "box braids."
My classmate said my curly hair was too curly and frizzy.
And yet here she is, perming her own hair.
People make fun of our weaves,
But why do I hear nothing about their hair extensions?
I've seen little girls shamed for their skin color,
And yet the same people sit in the sun to achieve their melanin.
They made fun of our larger hips and thighs,
And now they try to replicate it with silicone.
Rap was used as a way to communicate our oppression,
And yet the holy "Rap God" is white.
They mocked our dialect and way of speech,
And now they will defend their "right" to say the 'n' word.
The same men in blue who claim to protect everyone
Shoot innocent black men unjustifiably.
The same people who will claim to be our allies
Are the same who shout "All lives matter" at our efforts.
Sometimes, it just feels like
They like our culture, our appearances
Our values, our traditions,
Just not us.

When she harnesses her breath and concentrates her Qi--pronounced "chee," the energy or "vital life force" said to course through our bodies--the diminutive Chow effortlessly plows through a stack of audience members who've come up front and formed their collective 600-plus pounds into what should have been an immovable wall.
In another feat, she tests the strength of volunteers' arms by pushing down on them with all her might. When she doesn't summon her Qi to help her, it's 98-pound-weakling time; when she does, even the strongest among the group can't resist her strength. When it's my turn, Chow, who could dangle from my locked and outstretched arms like a worm hooked on a fishing line, pushes on my arms, Qi-powered. They plunk down as easily as piano keys. A few equally stunning demonstrations later, and it's me who is hooked.
East Impresses WestGiven Chow's credentials, I should have arrived more open-minded. She's a registered public-health and psychiatric nurse, a licensed acupuncturist, and a Qigong Grandmaster. She was tapped by the Clinton administration for the White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy, which led to her helping to develop a report of recommendations on national health policies for the National Institutes of Health's National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Chow is also the founder of the San Francisco-based East-West Academy of Healing Arts, the American Qigong Association, and the World Qigong Federation. Through these organizations, she spearheads efforts to promote Western clinical research that can replicate the numerous studies done in China and elsewhere that quantify the health benefits of Qigong.
At the moment, though, this international expert is asking us to believe that a firm pinching to the middle cartilage of each of our outer ears can be therapeutic. I feel skeptical, and look even sillier, but the proof is in the pudding--soft comfort I feel in my tight neck and shoulder muscles after Chow shows us how to stimulate and balance the energy that flows throughout the body from ear to ear.
But I'm most blown away when Chow teaches us to feel our own Qi and manipulate it: I make my first "Qi ball," a sphere of warm, pulsing energy that I can not only feel tingling between my palms, but can also stretch and compress like some sort of magnetic taffy simply by moving my palms apart and together again. By the end of the first session, all of us have also practiced manipulating a partner's Qi. Without touching me once, my partner sends warm shivers trickling onto my neck, down my spine, and into my knees. And believe me, it wasn't romantic chemistry.
These basic energy manipulations, Chow explains, are baby steps on the road to knowing how to use Qi to strengthen our immune system, relieve debilitating disease and depression, and instill an overall sense of well-being.[pagebreak]
The Key to QiQigong is an extended set of slow, fluid exercises performed while breathing from the diaphragm and accessing the "Dan Tian," the Grand Central Station, if you will, of our energy supply from which Qi runs, via meridians, throughout the body like subway lines across Manhattan.
This power point is located 2 inches below the navel and 1 inch in, says Chow. More than 600 other energy points are said to nestle at various spots from head to toe. When energy becomes blocked or unbalanced at these spots, "disease" can arise; practitioners believe that by restoring harmony to the flow of Qi, the problem can often be reversed.
The other essential element to Qigong's healing power--proper and deep breathing--"supercharges your body" by increasing life-giving oxygen to the heart, the bloodstream, and the brain, says Chow. By breathing shallowly (from the shoulders and not the diaphragm, as she puts it), "people are suffocating their cells," she says, leading to fatigue, which is epidemic in the United States, and even to serious illness.Unlike some torturous forms of yoga, Qigong can be practiced by anyone, including people who use wheelchairs. Not every exercise in the repertoire need be done; the trickiest one is no harder than (and looks rather like) peeking under the car to make sure the cat isn't napping there.
There are thousands of varieties of Qigong; in China, approaches vary from hamlet to hamlet. Chow developed and has been widely lauded for her approach, the Chow Integrated Healing System, a comprehensive blend of the best of Eastern and Western medicine and philosophy that treats the mind, body, and spirit as a package deal. Indeed, Chow's unshakable belief in the link between Qi and our psyches becomes clear a few days after the San Francisco conference, when I meet her in Colorado for a 2-hour treatment session.[pagebreak]
Qi as ArmorWhile I'm hoping for some good-vibrations healing for my cantankerous lower back, what I get from my session with Chow--to my surprise--is a way to fight my true nemesis: depression. I shouldn't be surprised; even I know that until I fix the root causes of my long-standing sadness and rage, I could drink a vat of liquid Prozac and not feel better.
One of the best things my money gets me is something that half a dozen traditional therapists have failed to offer over the years: a way to protect my fragile psyche from the negative energy of someone important in my life, the primary trigger of my depression. Chow's solutions aren't novel and mostly center on changing my own behavior (been there, heard that). But when she couches them in terms of physical Qi--showing how another's negative Qi pelts me and depletes my own, and teaching me how to summon my Qi as a buffer--I realize that I can use it to keep myself from being pummeled. And best of all, I can duck the negative Qi that comes my way. By putting Qigong theories into practice, I've changed the dynamics of my troubled relationship. For one, we're not fighting as much. Where I had flash-fire anger, I now have control. That makes me feel more energized, lighter. I never got that from a bottle of pills.
A Growing AcceptanceWhile the eyebrows of many Western physicians start to knit when proponents of Qigong claim it can help put cancer and other major illnesses into remission, some readily acknowledge its usefulness in stress reduction, relaxation, and lowering high blood pressure. Patients at New York City's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center can even choose it as an adjunct to their traditional medical treatments.
After several hours with Chow, a visit with a local Qigong psychotherapist, and long sessions with Chow's videos and book (Miracle Healing from China--Qigong, coauthored by Charles T. McGee, MD), I still have trouble with some aspects of this ancient art. For instance, when I hear one of her clients rejoice on video at how in 3 months he vanquished his severe fibromyalgia by practicing Qigong for 2 to 4 hours each day, I am bitterly disappointed, thinking that I could learn how to build a nuclear submarine if only I had 2 to 4 hours daily to devote to it.
But make no mistake: I've booked my next Qigong session with the local practitioner. And should the moment ever come when I'm diagnosed with a serious illness, I'll be on the first plane to Chow's clinic in San Francisco, getting the harmony restored to my Qi.

Investments You Can Consider When Preparing For Retirement
Are you worried about what will happen when you retire? If you have not been saving for retirement, you should be concerned. The official retirement plan may not be enough for you in old age.
After decades of work, everyone deserves at least some years of stress-free fulfilled life. Retirement means different things to different people; to some, it is a long vacation while to others it is a life full of want and dependence. The right time to choose how you will live after you retire is now. If you are not a millionaire (few are anyway), you should have a dependable investment plan to ensure you will live a decent life in this last phase of your life.
There are many investment plans you should consider. Choose well for there will be no time for a second chance. Watch out because there are people out there who can do anything to benefit from your lack of knowledge. The following tips will aid you to choose the best investment for retirement. To spread the risk, you can invest in more than one plan.
Saving as an Investment
Forget the get-rich schemes. Forget winning the lottery. These pseudo-investments are not reliable. The best and time-tested way to secure your retirement is saving. The rules of savings are simple; start early, safe consistently and save with an investment company which is profitable. The first two is self-explanatory. Inflation will continue to rise. Your savings should attract interest which is above the inflation rate; otherwise, the inflation will drain it. An average person retires between the ages of 62 and 67 years. The average lifespan of a Singaporean is 83 years. You need enough money to survive, enjoy and to take care of your health during the retirement period. Saving is not hard if you start early. Do not rely on the Central Provident Fund or the Supplementary Retirement Scheme. These funds will not give you enough money to lead a decent life after retirement.
Invest in Stock
When you buy shares of a firm (also known as stock), it implies that you own a fraction of that company. The growth of this company means your shares are growing, and so is your investment. The best time to invest in a stock is during the Initial Public Offering (IPO) when the company offers its shares to the public for the first time. You can also buy shares at any other time. The beauty of this investment is that you are not expected to do anything; wait for your stocks to grow as the company profitability increases. The secret in this investment is to choose a company which has potential and prospects to be profitable.
Invest in Real Estate
The best way to be assured that your retirement days will be comfortable is to invest in reputable real estate such as Belgravia Green or Riverfront Residences. Although this is a capital intensive investment, its returns are worth it. Because of the capital needed to embark in real estate, it is necessary to start saving early. Channel all your incomes in this investment and before you retire you can own a property in high class places like Treasure at Tampines Condo.
Peer-to-Peer Lending
Lastly, another method to prepare for your retirement is to invest in Peer-to-Peer Lending. This is a quick way to get good returns, but if you are not careful, you can lose your investments. Peer-to-Peer involves joining a popular lending club and lending your money to people with a good history of paying on time.
Bottom Line
The best investment for retirement will depend on your taste, the amount of money you want to invest and of course your age. When you start early, your monthly payments will be much less than when you start at a later age. The best time to start is now.

Also, we don't utilize an approval process so this req would've shot straight to PO23 - which never happened, and the req closed.
Sorry, I should've stated that this is a special req.
Did they enter a vendor? Not sure if you have this required in RQ04 or not.
Yes a vendor was set in the req. Also rq04 for the requester is flagged to require vendor.
That's a good thought with the PO100.err. We will be looking to see if that still exists from January and if not we're about to throw in the towel. Couple weeks ago I had an Infor ticket open for a similar incident and they threw in the towel after a week and a half.
