Fr. Tom, Mrs. Berquist, parents, families, teachers, consultants, friends of Mother of Divine Grace School, members of the Class of 2017. I am honored to have been chosen as this year's class speaker.
I would like to begin by thanking the many people who made this possible; not just this first-ever graduation ceremony, but those who made our education possible. First of all, Mrs. Berquist: you and your family had the courage to establish a classical Catholic curriculum and school. Because you saw a need and filled it, thousands of students now have the benefit of an orthodox Catholic education. Secondly, to our parents: you are the ones who chose to invest in an education that has formed us into the Catholic men and women we are today and which will continue to guide our decisions throughout our lives. The many days we spent doing school at home are memories that will remain with us forever. The teachers: who dedicated their time and talent to forming and educating us, the Class of 2017. Your knowledge and leadership has been invaluable. On behalf of the Class of 2017, I thank you and all those involved with Mother of Divine Grace School for your dedication to forming us into men and women of virtue.
To my fellow classmates: we come from across the country, and indeed, across the world. We come from California and Trinidad & Tobago; from Georgia and Ohio. We are from different families, and we all have different interests and hobbies, but what unites us is our education. As kindergartners, we learned Robert Louis Stevenson's poem At the Seaside. Before we began writing, we narrated Old Testament Bible stories to our moms. As we got older, we memorized the St. Crispin's Day Speech from Shakespeare. In Lit 12, we studied The Hound of Heaven together. We studied Ancient Rome and Greece and debated the merits of Sparta and Athens (go Athens!). Junior year of high school we explored medieval history, and we discovered the truth behind the Inquisition and the Crusades. Together we have navigated American History and read about the World Wars. We have read Polybius and Herodotus. We have studied St. Thomas Aquinas' teachings on law and government. We studied the Bible and the Catechism. From Saxon, we learned the secrets of algebra and synthetic division. From Henle, we learned Latin (but mostly we learned how to capture the Gauls!)
We are united through our education and through our shared experiences. On the ProBoards, we have discussed topics ranging from prayer requests to the Super Bowl. On the eve of the March for Life, hundreds of us have gathered and enjoyed dinner and dancing while getting to know each other in person. Through the Pope Leo the Thirteenth National Honor Society, we have strengthened our God-given leadership talents and exercised scholarship, service, and character. We have also laughed together over the phenomenon known as The CHRIS Show; that wonderful part of the NHS meeting where Chris tells us how it was back in his day. From white Christmas lights to reality TV shows, from obscure baby care items to airport food, it seems that things really were better back in his day. I'm sure the Mother of Divine Grace office will notify us all when The CHRIS Show comes out on CD, right? Through our Learning Support classes we have formed bonds with each other. We have the shared experience of our internet cutting out; we have laughed together over hilarious teachers and classmates; we have been taught to think critically and apply Catholic teaching to all subjects of study. It is through these experiences that we are united as one group of people, the Mother of Divine Grace Class of 2017.
We are all standing here, soon to be graduates of Mother of Divine Grace School, stepping out into the world. Pope Benedict the Sixteenth said, "It is the truth revealed through Scripture and Tradition and articulated by the Church's Magisterium that sets us free." Mother of Divine Grace is a school which embodies this quote. It has provided us with a strong foundation. Through every class and every grade, Scripture, Tradition, and the Magisterium of the Church have been core components of our education. This is the education which will set us free. It is one which has trained our minds and hearts to the Divine, teaching us to live not for the things of this world, but for the things of the next. Our senior class quote from C.S. Lewis encourages us to "Shine so that through us, others can see Him." Our education is a unique one, designed to set us apart in a world which desperately needs the light of Christ. In the words of Pope St. John Paul the Second, "Humanity is in urgent need of the witness of free and courageous young people who dare to go against the tide and proclaim with vigor and enthusiasm their personal faith in God, Lord and Savior." My fellow graduates, let's meet the challenge issued by Pope St. John Paul the Second to be the free and courageous young people we are meant to be.

Types of services offered by storage companies
• Self Storage
If you are like most people, you will likely want to have unrestricted access to your possessions while in storage. If this is the case, then you will appreciate self-storage services. You will get a range of storage options for self-storage ranging from locker rooms to containers and warehouses, depending on the size and nature of your possessions. The size of storage rooms ranges from 25 square feet to as much as 600 square feet.
Self-storage comes with a range of conveniences. For starters, you will get unrestricted access to your storage rooms for 6 days of the week: from 8 AM to 6 PM Monday to Friday and from 9 AM to 3:30 PM on Saturdays. Additionally, your possessions are guaranteed for the entire time they're stored. These companies employ a range of security measures to prevent against accidents such as fire and to keep thieves out. Security measures include CCTV cameras and guards.
These companies also offer additional measures to ensure that valuable possessions stay safe. These include specialized rooms with controlled environments for valuables such as delicate art. You can also opt for insurance for the period of storage.
• Storage for Students
Students moving abroad for school may also benefit from temporary storage services. Services for students also include self-storage. Some removal and storage companies may offer discounts to students with NUS cards.
• Furniture Storage
Furniture can be sensitive and require special storage to keep it in good shape. Storage and moving companies offer specialized storage services with controlled environments and other support services for storage furniture and other fragile items.
• Short and Long Term Storage
Whether you want to store your possessions for a day or a few months, your company of choice can make the necessary accommodations. As long as you make the necessary payments and meet the set requirements, your possessions will be safe for as long as you want.
Your preferred storage company may also offer moving services both locally and internationally. This will prove convenient especially if you are relocating outside the UK and need assistance with your international removals.
As mentioned earlier, removals and storage companies also offer complementary packaging services. They will bring their own boxes and wrapping materials to pack your things neatly and safely for transport to the storage facilities. Some self-storage services also include on-site packing and wrapping materials for those seeking to do the parking themselves.
Moving Services – What to Expect
Removal and storage companies offer a wide range of services.
Pre-Move Survey
Any good job takes proper planning. Your removal and storage company will schedule a pre-move survey to get a firm idea of the task at hand. The surveyors will take into account factors such as the number, size, and nature of your possessions. These factors are crucial to coming up with an accurate cost of how much it will cost you.
The surveyors may also have a one-on-one consultation with you to clarify everything regarding the services offered as well as to get a deeper understanding of your needs and preferences.
On the day of the removal, the removal and storage company will send movers to take care of everything. This includes packing, whereby the movers will provide the necessary wrapping and other packing supplies.
Everything will be packed neatly to ensure that it is safe throughout the moving and storage period. All your possessions will be handled with caution to guarantee safety as well as privacy.
Special care for delicate items
Moving companies also have set guidelines for handling valuable, sensitive possessions both during packing and storage. They provide special wrapping and packaging materials for delicate valuables such as art, exotic wood, fine leather, and piano removals. The companies will also provide special transportation and storage services depending on the nature of the value.
Removal and storage-companies strive to offer perfection, mostly in terms of the safety of your possessions. However, should accidents occur you are always guaranteed compensation; that is if you opt for the inclusion of insurance. Insurance covers all your possessions, including the valuables. It protects against several setbacks including damages and theft.
Storage is the most sought-after service by most movers. Some are students going on long holidays and cannot afford to move with everything. Others are employees involved in long international travels and have to vacate for a while. In other cases it involves a family selling their house to buy a new one and have to find storage space in the meantime.
Tips to Save Money on Storage Services
Storage companies have varying rates for their services. You can enjoy the best services and still save big by following these simple tips:
- Select several viable local storages and moving companies and perform a comprehensive analysis of their services and charges.
- Consult your chosen company for consultation and try to see whether you can forego on some services to reduce unnecessary costs.
- Handle some of the work yourself; for instance, you may save some money by doing the packing yourself.
Now that you know everything there is to know about removal and storage services in the UK you can go ahead and finalize your plans. Whether you are travelling overseas for a while, going for the summer holiday, or just looking for storage space, you are guaranteed to find the ideal moving and storage company for it.

Then, you must make sure that ASP.NET is configured correctly to process the request. You must start by identifying a request URL that causes the error condition, such as /path/requestname.aspx.
- On the taskbar click start, point to
Settings, and then click Control Panel.
- Double-click the Administrative Toolsfolder on the server and then double-click to run the Internet Services Manager tool.
- Expand the tree in the left pane and then identify the virtual server and the virtual folder that will handle the request.
- Right-click the virtual server or the virtual folder and then click Properties.
- Click the Home Directory or the
Directory tab. Under Application Settings, click Configuration.
- On the App Mappings tab, scroll through the Application Mappings list to identify the extensions that are associated with the problematic request. If the extensions appear, verify that they are associated with %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\%VersionNumber%\aspnet_isapi.dll. If the extensions do not appear, then the request is not handled by ASP.NET. If you want the request to be handled by ASP.NET, enable ASP.NET for that virtual directory.
- Click OK until you return to
Internet Services Manager and then close Internet Services Manager
back to the top
View Detailed Error InformationAfter you determine that IIS can pass the request to ASP.NET, you must then determine the nature of the error. When <customErrors> is disabled, ASP.NET returns a browser-friendly page that describes the error. When <customErrors> is enabled, ASP.NET does not show detailed error information. To disable custom errors follow these steps:
- Create a backup copy of the Web.config file in the root directory of the application.
You can restore this file after you troubleshoot the problem.
- Open the Web.config file in a text editor such as Notepad. The Web.config file is located in the root directory of the application.
- In the Web.config file locate the <customErrors> configuration element. If the <customErrors> element does not exist, add the <customErrors> element under the <system.web> element.
- Set the customErrors mode to off as follows:
<customErrors mode="Off">
- Save the Web.config file.
The ASP.NET application automatically restarts.
- When you run the problematic request, ASP.NET now returns a detailed error message that describes the specific nature of the problem. Make a note of this error.
- Reenable <customErrors>.
You can do this if you restore the backup copy of the Web.config file that you created in step 1.
back to the top
View Trace InformationIn most cases, when you view the detailed error information, this information is sufficient to identify the source of a problem. However, if the detailed error message does not isolate the problem, you can use trace information to identify the exact nature of the problem.
- Create a backup copy of the Web.config file in the root directory of the application.
You can restore this file after you troubleshoot the problem.
- Open the dynamically-generated Application Trace page.
You can do this by using your browser to request the dynamically-generated Trace.axd file from the root directory of the application. For example, if the root folder of the application is the virtual server myserver, then request http://myserver/trace.axd.
- Click Clear Current Trace in the upper-right corner of the Application Trace page.
- Open another browser window and then reexecute your problematic request.
- Return to the Application Trace page and then press F5 to refresh the window.
- Under Requests To This Application, identify the request that you issued and then click View Details.
The Request Details page appears.
- Analyze the View Details page to determine the source of the problem. Carefully examine the Trace Information section for error messages that are reported by the application or by unhandled exceptions. The specific format of these messages may vary, but many ASP.NET applications report detailed information that is useful for troubleshooting problems. The error may also reveal problems that can only be resolved by a developer.
- Reenable <customErrors> by restoring the backup copy of the Web.config file that you created in step 1.

Akume, APC petition Election Tribunal over Benue North-West senatorial result
The All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate for Benue North-West Senatorial Zone, George Akume, has prayed the Governorship, National and State Assembly Election Petition Tribunal in Makurdi to declare him the winner of the February 23 election in the zone.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the tribunal is expected to commence sitting in Makurdi after it has received petitions and responses from respondents.
Mr Akume and the APC, in their 336-paged petition obtained on Thursday from the tribunal's secretariat in Makurdi, are challenging the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that returned Emmanuel Orker-Jev of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) winner of the election.
NAN reports that Mr Orker-Jev of the PDP polled 157,726 to Mr Akume's 115,422 votes.
The petitioners in the suit (Mr Akume and APC) in an alternative prayer, urged the court to order fresh polls where elections did not hold or were marred by malpractices or irregularities, especially in polling units within Buruku, Guma, Gboko, Gwer West and Gwer East registration areas/wards.
The petitioners said they would rely on 118 witnesses to prosecute their case, which is premised on two grounds; that the first respondent( Mr Emmanuel Orker Jev) was not duly elected by the majority of lawful votes and that the election was invalid by alleged corruption and non-compliance with the Electoral Act 2010.
They also averred that the series of letters of complaints by them to the INEC or its agents while the elections were ongoing were neglected.
"The total number of accredited voters as recorded in Forms EC8C(1), EC8D(1) and EC8(1) by INEC agents manually are higher than the accredited voters recorded in the Card Reader Accreditation Sheet for the Presidential and National Assembly Elections, held on 23rd day of February, 2019.
"The number of votes cast in the local government areas of Buruku, Gboko, Guma, Gwer East, Gwer West, Makurdi and Tarka are higher than the number of accredited voters in each of the local government area above mentioned".
Mr Akume further alleged that elections were not conducted in compliance with the Act in some parts of Bruruku, Gboko, Guma, Gwer West, Gwer East, Makurdi wards.
"Some polling units in Buruku, Gboko, Guma, Gwer East, Gwer West, the total number of votes cast at the election far exceeded the total number of the PVCs collected by voters in those polling units and registration areas."
The petitioners also alleged that Mike Gusa, the Benue Commissioner for Justice, was buying votes on the Election Day at Tse-Biaga Open Space polling unit between N500 to N1,000 with the aide of thugs, which were answerable to him and the PDP.

Bitcoin has made the top 5 Google search requests Monday, according to data from Google Trends.
The results from the US indicate that 'Bitcoin' received over 200,000 searches, making it the fifth most popular term. Ethereum made the top 20 results, coming in at number 18.
The event marks continued mainstream exposure for the cryptocurrency. While Bitcoin came to prominence during the recent WannaCry cyberattack, interest appears to have remained as that story disappears from the headlines.
Monday is 'sacred' in Bitcoin circles for a different reason, May 22 being Bitcoin Pizza Day. A chapter in the virtual currency's history which is also gaining mainstream notoriety, a flurry of media interest generally accompanies the date every year.

NEW YORK: On Thursday September 17 at 3pm London time/10am NY time join us on Twitter using @ClimateGroup and #CWNYC for a live Q&A with Carl Sargeant, Minister for Natural Resources, Welsh Government to talk about the power of sub-national governments in the global fight against climate change.
Throughout September, The Climate Group is hosting exclusive conversations with climate leaders from around the world as part of our countdown to Climate Week NYC, which takes place from September 21-28. This week the spotlight falls on the innovative climate policies of state and regional governments – of which the Welsh Government, a member of The Climate Group, is leading the way.
With a population of over 3 million, Wales in the UK has had a Climate Change Strategy in place since 2010. In working toward its emissions reductions of at least 80% by 2050, the Strategy aims for a 3% annual reduction in emissions and 40% reduction in overall emissions by 2020.
Wales also boasts a proportionately high share of the UK's heavy industry and is a net exporter of energy, so a large portion of Wales' emissions are covered by the EU Emissions trading Scheme, accounting for just over 50% of Wales' overall emissions.
The region's energy and environmental sector is also booming and employs around 58,000 people, having grown 90% from 2006 in sales turnover - from £1.24 billion to £2.36 billion.
Wales is a perfect case study of the progress sub-national governments can make in accelerating low carbon growth and ambitious climate targets, which is critical in the lead up to the UN global climate talks in Paris.
"I am delighted to be taking part in this important conversation which will have special significance in the days before Climate Week NYC", Carl Sargeant, Wales' Minister for Natural Resources tells us.
"This Q&A will be a great opportunity for me to make clear Wales' commitment to taking action to tackle climate change and promote a low carbon economy, while also responding to important questions in relation to Climate Week NYC, and what Wales is doing at a sub-national level on sustainable development.
"Our pioneering Wellbeing of Future Generation Act places sustainable development at the heart of all we do, setting ambitious long-term goals for a prosperous, resilient, more equal Wales and is linked to UN Goals. I am extremely proud of our record of innovation and look forward to discussing it with you and answering your questions."
You can follow the Minister on @WG_NatResMin and the whole chat will take place on hashtag #CWNYC, which you should use to ask a question. Follow @ClimateGroup on September 17 from 3pm London time/10am New York time to take part in this critical conversation, two months before Paris.

The Climate Group's digital countdown to Climate Week NYC 2015 runs from September 1-20.
Each day we are releasing exclusive conversations with key figures from the worlds of business and politics and beyond – through video, social media and blogs – as well as expert briefings. Follow @ClimateGroup for the latest.
Climate Week NYC is a key event in the international calendar that brings together leading governments, investors, businesses, innovators and opinion formers. The Climate Group launched Climate Week NYC in 2009, and has acted as the secretariat since its inception.
Host to more than 100 affiliate events from September 21-28, Climate Week NYC 2015 is the collaborative space for climate events in support of the UN Summit to adopt the Post-2015 Development Agenda.

BOIL ORDER Further Information
People in the Mandatory Evacuation Area are advised to NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one (1) minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water. This is the preferred method to assure that the water is safe to drink.
Optional alternatives to boiling include:
An alternative method of purification for residents that do not have gas or electricity available is to use fresh liquid household bleach (Clorox, Purex, etc.). To do so, add 8 drops (or 1/4 teaspoon) of bleach per gallon of clear water or 16 drops (or 1/2 teaspoon) per gallon of cloudy water, mix thoroughly, and allow to stand for 30 minutes before using. A chlorine-like taste and odor will result from this purification procedure and is an indication that adequate disinfection has taken place.
Water purification tablets may also be used by following the manufacturer's instructions.
The County will inform you when tests show no bacteria and you no longer need to boil your water. The County anticipates resolving the problem within three to five days.
For more information call:
Water Utility contact: Susan Thomson, Cater Water Treatment Plant -- (805) 897-2609

This fascinating clip of sharks feeding deep down in the ocean is intense! From BBC's upcoming nature documentary series, Blue Planet II, the scientists and filmmakers encounter several aggressive bluntnose sixgill sharks (cow sharks) feeding on a whale carcass over 700 meters (2300 feet) down.
"The Blue Planet II team dive to over 700 meters to see what happens to a whale carcass on the seabed," the video's description reads. "Whilst filming sharks as they feast, the sharks start to take a worrying interest in the submarine!"
The sharks think the submarine is competing for the food which leads to this interesting encounter.
Share this unique nature moment with your friends and family.
Blue Planet I is an amazing series and is currently available on DVD. Blue Planet II will air in 2018 in the United States.

LAND developers have so far paid only a fraction of their immovable property tax (IPT) for 2014, with reports saying that just €328,000 out of a total of €4.2 million was paid.
In a story run by daily Phileleftheros, a high ranking official with the Inland Revenue Department, Renos Ioannou, is quoted as saying that out of the 214 land developing businesses only a few had settled their outstanding IPT obligations.
This comes a year after the state agreed to facilitate land developers so that they could pay the IPT. In 2013 land developers were required to pay a €7 million in IPT but failed to do so, arguing that the required tax was too steep.
The state reviewed its property value estimation to accommodate the companies and even excluded properties the companies didn't have a title deed for. Despite the revised taxation, land developers still failed to pay their taxes.
Their unwillingness to pay comes in stark contrast with homeowners, 79 per cent of which paid their taxes in time resulting in a €88 million money injection for the government.
The 214 companies are not the only land developers in trouble. A total of 380 land developers failed to properly file their paperwork so the Inland Revenue Department could issue an estimate for IPT and have not yet responded to requests by the IRD to do so.
In October, the House of Representatives approved extending the deadline for paying the IPT until the end of the year, also extending the 15 per cent discount awarded to companies and homeowners who settle their affairs in time.
Commenting on the article in today's Phileleftheros, the Cyprus Land and Building Developers Association said that the payment deadline had not been reached and therefore it would be good to wait until the revised deadline. In its announcement the Association also said that a large number of its members had already paid the tax.
Readers' comments
Comments on this article are no longer being accepted.
I am frankly quite angry that 78% on homeowners (presumably many expatriates) have paid their IPT, and yet the (Cypriot?) developers continue to flout the law, on top of which for years they have been accused of "fleecing" home owners on paying back IPT. When is this government going to face reality and force their own people to obey the law. Until that happens the credibility of Cyprus continues to suffer and the housing market will continue to be depressed.
Stuart, Peter & Mike (below) together have it just about Right. I agree, very poor, totally inappropriate, use of the word 'Tardy': this particular article addresses just one of many deep-seated problems within the Cyprus psyche and culture:
There are deeply ingrained fault-lines thought Cypriot cultures that amount to a Massive collision of inter-related problems – that, sadly, are going to take, probably, a generation or two to unravel, remedy -if ever!
Anyone who hasn't seen or read Petros Florides 'Cyprus' Seven Deadly Sins' could do a lot worse than go to and read the whole piece.
For me, and many others, he has captured the 'wrongs that need to be righted'.
But in a country, culture, governance 'system' that is so 'out of kilter' with more modern progressive and structured approaches, where, honestly, do you make a start…….?
(It reminds me of the one about the Limerick man in his native Ireland, when asked by a stranger to tell him how to get to New York, replies: "Well, I wouldn't start from here!")
Nigel Howarth says: November 16, 2014 at 8:21 am @Andrew Chambers on 2014/11/16 at 12:07 am – Yes, you should pay IPT. Please refer to Paying Immovable Property Tax 2014.
But, Nigel, should someone who has not received their Title Deeds 'reimburse' a developer for IPT supposedly paid by the developer in previous years (pre-2014); if that developer cannot provide proof that the tax was actually paid to the Inland Revenue? This article strongly suggests that such payment to a developer may not, in fact, be a 'reimbursement' but a donation toward the developer's profits.
Assurances from a developer that such payments will be refunded by the Inland Revenue in due course are worthless. You cannot be refunded sums which were never paid in the first place.
So let's gets this into perspective; developers, and we understand it is not all, owe just under €4 million for 2014 and around €7 million for 2013. Should we not be asking what if anything the IRD is doing to secure payment through the courts.
Why have they not applied for winding up orders against those owing their 2013 obligations? They obviously have assets which could at least be seized to pay some if not all of their debt. If history teaches us anything we might assume they have done nothing constructive as if after a year the €7 million is still owing. All their reluctance, to enforce the law and protect the public purse, does is facilitate the debtors to redistribute and hide their assets. Would this not be a case of maladministration or abject failure, why does the taxpayer constantly have to support those intent on defrauding the country – get rid of then, drive them out of business as they clearly have no business being in business, at least not in Cyprus or the rest of the EU.
Why should they pay?
Their first excuse will be the occupier is responsible, and second one what will happen to them?
Do you think the Inland Revenue will follow up and make them bankrupt/insolvent?
The reality is nothing will happen. Taxes here are a form of payment to the Government, if you feel up to it.
Describing such developers as 'tardy' demonstrates exactly what is wrong with Cyprus in its failure to get to grips with this particular problem. These developers are not 'tardy', they are 'anarchic' in their attitude to civil discipline and clearly see themselves as invincible.
This comes in response to a weak and inept government which, instead of enforcing the law, accommodates developers' complaints that the tax is too steep, property valuations are too high and properties without Title Deeds should be exempt from IPT – a classic example of the tail wagging the dog.
Extending the deadline by another month and offering a 15% discount for prompt payment is hardly likely to produce a sudden change of attitude by these rebels whose wilful refusal rather than culpable neglect is all too apparent and leaves them set to enjoy yet another happy Christmas.
i haven't received my title deeds…….should I pay the IPT?

What should financial marketers blog about this month? Our monthly roundup has you covered with timely topics for blog posts, social media campaigns, and other marketing ideas.
Want to look further ahead? Download our Financial Content Planning Calendar to stay up-to-date all year long.
Topic #1: GICS Gets With the Times
#GICS #Sectors #SectorInvesting
The Angle
- Calling all sector experts: The Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) is making a major change this fall.
- At close-of-business on September 28th, the Telecommunications Services Sector will be renamed "Communications Sector" and expanded to include "companies that facilitate communication and offer related content and information through various media."
- In addition to the current telecom companies, several companies from the Consumer Discretionary Group (e.g., Netflix) and the Information Technology Group (e.g., Alphabet) will be reclassified as Communications Services to bring the sector in line with how people communicate and consume entertainment in this day and age.
- As the changes become imminent, sector investors will be looking for tips on how to position their portfolios, as well as insights into this evolution and future/potential GICS changes that may be in the cards.

Topic #2: The Fed Meets Again
#Fed #FOMC
The Angle
- The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meets September 25-26, 2018, giving financial marketers an opportunity to talk to their audiences about the potential repercussions of projected interest rate changes.
- The Fed raised rates in March and June, pushing the federal funds rate to 2 percent, but left it alone at their July 31-Aug 1 meeting. The minutes from that meeting indicated a likely increase in September due to a strong economy, but also revealed concerns about the impact of escalating trade wars.

Topic #3: September Swoon?
#markets #invest
The Angle
- September has historically been a downer for markets, as illustrated by the Dow and S&P 500 falling an average of 0.8 and 0.5 percent, respectively, since 1950.
- The fall freefall is often attributed to seasonality, with investors returning from vacation, ramping up activity and subsequently boosting volatility.
- This year, markets have a few extra challenges to contend with, including mounting political scandals, an ongoing trade war and a likely September rate hike when the Fed meets at the end of the month.

Topic #4: Back to (Financial) School
The Angle
- What do you get when you combine the first day of school (August/September) and Read a Book Day (Thursday, September 6th)? A great month to share some lighter content on financial education themes – particularly aimed at school-aged kids.
- Tap your thought leaders and other blog contributors to find out what financial-themed books they've recommended to their own children, from elementary school to college-bound.
- Remember to tag the authors you've highlighted when promoting the blog on Twitter – you may get a retweet!

Topic #5: Q4 Prep
#CharitableGiving #TaxLossHarvest
The Angle
- 2018 will be done and dusted before we know it. Are your readers' finances prepared?
- Help your audience get ahead of the game with a checklist full of year-end tasks (e.g., tax loss harvesting; charitable contributions) and deadlines (e.g., Roth IRA conversions by October 15th).

I have recently changed the theme of some of my website from Thrive FocusBlog to GeneratePress and I'm loving it.
GeneratePress is a combination of a free, lightweight WordPress theme and a premium plugin. This plugin allows you to add essential features, but only the features that you actually want to use.
This makes GeneratePress not only lightweight, but also very powerful and flexible. In this review I will be explaining why I made the switch and what I like about GeneratePress as a WordPress theme.
GeneratePress review (6 reasons to switch):
Why I Ditched Thrive Themes
I used Thrive's FocusBlog theme on several of my sites for many years. In case you didn't know, Thrive Themes became a popular WordPress theme developer several years ago when a few famous affiliate marketers started using and promoting them.
The FocusBlog theme in particular became hugely popular within a short timeframe, and if you do a bit of browsing you'll still see tons of (mostly) affiliate websites running on the FocusBlog theme. Or otherwise the Rise theme, another popular theme developed by Thrive Themes.
Before you get the wrong impression, I've always been very happy with the FocusBlog theme, and with Thrive Themes in general. I honestly think FocusBlog is an awesome theme, it's always performed really well for me, and I've never encountered any major bugs or flaws.
I still use FocusBlog on some of my sites and these sites are still going strong.
Thrive Has Stopped Selling Their Themes
Thrive is moving into a new direction. They are not selling their individual themes anymore, instead they have been working on a visual theme builder that is (at the time of writing) yet to be released.
If a theme developer decides to take their themes off the market, that inevitably means they will at some point stop supporting them. And with WordPress evolving so quickly, it simply isn't a smart move to have a website running on a theme that is not supported anymore.
The Theme Was Getting a Bit Dated
The other issue is that while FocusBlog is an awesome theme, it's also a bit dated. Which makes sense, because the theme has been around for so long.
It's not just the look-and-feel that feels dated, it's also the code and setup of the theme. HTML and CSS standards evolve quickly. It's important to use a theme that is coded to the highest of standards and respects the latest HTML and CSS coding guidelines.
While I'm not a professional web developer anymore, I do feel that FocusBlog is a bit behind now in this regard.
Other Thrive Themes Products
I would also like to point out that I am still using other Thrive Themes products, such as Thrive Leads and Thrive Architect. I honestly think these are awesome products and I will continue using them.
Thrive Leads in particular is a product I am very happy with. Tons of excellent, useful features for a fraction of the price that a popular list builder plugin like OptinMonster charges.
Thrive Architect I may eventually drop, but only because I don't use it a lot. I really only use it to design landing pages. And since Architect, just like any other page builder, adds a bit of bloat to a website, I may decide to remove it.
Anyway, enough about Thrive Themes. Let's move on to GeneratePress.
Review: 6 Reasons Why GeneratePress Premium Is Awesome
In 2019 I planned to build a brand new affiliate site, and for this project I wanted to use a new theme. A theme that was ready for the future. A simple, lightweight theme that would give me the features I needed, and nothing else.
So I decided to purchase and install GeneratePress on that affiliate site to try it out. After a bit of getting used to and implementing a few changes here and there, I was (and still am) super happy with the looks of the site as well as with its performance.
And that was it. I made the decision to say goodbye to Thrive Themes and get Blog Pioneer switched over to GeneratePress as well. Followed by other sites in my portfolio of web properties.
With most of my sites now running on GeneratePress, it's time for me to share my experience and walk you through 6 solid reasons to make the switch to GeneratePress.
Subscribe now and learn how to grow your blog into a thriving business with effective SEO and monetization strategies.
BONUS: 3 actionable SEO tips you can implement today to give your blog posts an immediate boost!
1. Page Speed: GeneratePress Is Super Lightweight
Page speed is becoming increasingly important. Google has even come out to say that mobile page speed is now a mobile ranking factor.
But for me personally, the Google Page Speed Score is not what keeps me occupied. What I care about is a good user experience. A bad user experience will lead to higher bounce rates and more pogo-sticking. And these types of negative signals will ultimately impact a site's organic rankings.
While there are many ways to improve a website's performance, a good quality WordPress theme plays an important role in this.
GeneratePress was built with site speed in mind. The most basic installation of the theme is less than 30Kb which is unrivaled. In addition, GeneratePress is coded and structured according to the latest coding standards.
As an ex software developer, I do actually look at how themes and plugins are coded. And I can honestly say that GeneratePress looks very clean and well structured, especially compared to Thrive's FocusBlog.
Google PageSpeed Insights
Let's have a look at the Google Page Speed scores from before and after the switch from FocusBlog to GeneratePress. Needless to say that I ran these tests multiple times.
The first test is of the home page:
The second test is of a long blog post that has quite a few images:
The page speed scores are around 8-15% better. Not a shocking result by any means, but that's because the site was already performing well.
But the only thing I did was change themes, nothing else. So it's safe to say that these improvements are purely because of GeneratePress.
Here's the page speed scores for my affiliate site that is also using GeneratePress:
What I'm seeing with GeneratePress is that the CSS and JavaScript minification files are significantly smaller than what they were with FocusBlog. The DOM size in general also appears to be a lot more compact.
In other words, GeneratePress spits out less (and better structured) HTML, CSS and JavaScript. This is a clear indication that GeneratePress is a lot cleaner and also better coded than FocusBlog.
Also note that I could improve that speed score further by implementing funky things like lazy loading images and using next generation image formats. But at this stage I'm simply not too fussed about it.
I don't get obsessed with site speed. As long as it hits above 70, I am satisfied.
2. Unlimited Customization Options
The way GeneratePress works is, the theme itself is free, but the extra plugin is premium. The theme itself is bare bones and super lightweight, which is a good thing.
The premium plugin allows you to add features to the theme. But only the features that you need and want. In other words, you are in full control over what you are installing and using.
You know how some themes are incredible feature-rich but you hardly ever use the vast majority of these features? The result is that you end up with a super heavy, bloated theme that doesn't perform well.
With GP Premium you won't have to deal with that.
GP Premium
GeneratePress Premium is a paid plugin that works alongside the theme. It allows you to activate sets of features, known as Modules.
For example, the Colors Module allows you to customize the colors of all elements in your site. Headers, buttons, links, background, widgets, literally everything can be configured.
Another useful Module is Typography, with over 70 typography options that give you complete control over your site's content.
Perhaps the most powerful Module is Elements which consists of the following:
- Header Element:
Allows you to create custom headers that you can display anywhere you like.
- Layout Element:
Allows you to change the layout of your site such as sidebars and footers, with custom layout options for different pages.
- Hooks Element:
Allows you to "hook" your own custom code into various areas of the theme without changing core theme files.
For example, see that funky little author box at the bottom of this article? That doesn't come standard with the theme, instead I've had to use a Hook Element to let it appear underneath each blog post.
With a bit of help from the GeneratePress support forum, it was pretty easy to do.
Another example is breadcrumbs. If you're using Yoast SEO, it's very easy to create a Hook Element to implement breadcrumbs in your blog posts, just like you see them at the top of this particular post.
Pre-Made Site Templates
If customizing is not your thing, and you really just want to start cracking, GP offers a wide range of pre-made site templates. All you need to do is import and activate the template you like, and your site will have the very same look and feel of the template.
The site library even has pre-made options for page builders such as Elementor and Beaver Builder. So if you're using one of these page builders, simply pick a template you like, and you're good to go.
3. Compatibility with Page Builders
If you're using Thrive Architect, Elementor, Beaver Builder, or any other major page builder, there is no need to worry about any compatibility issues.
I am personally using Thrive Architect, and apart from a few changes I had to implement after the switch, GeneratePress and Architect work nicely together, no problems at all.
And as mentioned above, GeneratePress also offers pre-made templates for sites using one of these page builders.
But what about Gutenberg, I hear you ask.
Good news, GeneratePress is 100% compatible with Gutenberg, no issues at all. In fact, they were one of the first to fully embrace Gutenberg as a WordPress editor.
4. Inbuilt Schema Markup
If you're not familiar with Schema markup, it's a semantic vocabulary of tags (or microdata) that you can add to your HTML to improve the way search engines read and present your page in the search results.
While Schema is by no means required to rank high in the SERPs, it does help you to get featured in rich snippets, carrousels and other funky elements you see in a Google search results page.
Here's a screenshot taken from Google's Structured Data Testing Tool, where I'm testing an article on Blog Pioneer:
As you can see, lots of Schema objects there.
The only schema objects I added myself in the above list are BreadcrumbList (via a GeneratePress Hook Element) and Review (manually). The rest of the objects is automatically generated by the theme.
Please note though that you are free to remove any of the elements that you don't want to have. Simply add a filter for the Schema data you want to have removed.
If this sounds complicated, the GP forum has lots of examples around how to do this, plus the support team will always help you out.
Yoast has released a new version of their SEO plugin (v11.0) which contains extensive Schema markup functionality. Yoast uses JSON-LD to generate the Schema whereas GP uses MicroElements. Both ways are acceptable, but JSON-LD is generally considered to be the preferred way. In addition, the Schema Yoast generates is better structured which makes it easier for search engines to interpret. For these reasons I have decided to disable the GP Schema markup and use the Yoast solution instead.
5. Amazing Support and Documentation
Using GeneratePress Premium for the first time can be a bit overwhelming. The theme + plugin is very different from how other themes function, so there is definitely a bit of a learning curve to deal with.
But once the penny drops and you become more familiar with how the theme works, you'll start to recognize the power of this product. That's the process I went through, at least.
The first thing you should do after purchasing GP Premium is reading through their extensive online documentation library. It covers everything you need to know, from setting up the theme and basic troubleshooting, to customization and developer resources.
I've had to ask for support a few times myself, and every single time the response was quick and helpful. Every single time.
The support forum is open to the public, so you can see other people's support requests as well. I challenge anyone to find a support request that doesn't get addressed in a timely manner.
They even help people out with issues that are not directly related to GeneratePress. For example, if someone is struggling to get a certain element in a page to look differently, they'll provide you with custom CSS to achieve that.
The beauty of such a support forum is that over time it has grown into an enormous source of technical issues and resolutions. So if you ever have an issue with GP, simply do a search in the forum and chances are you'll find the solution.
6. Affordable Pricing
The premium version of GeneratePress is surprisingly affordable.
For only $49.95, you will get access to all premium modules and the site library. And this isn't just for one website, you're free to install the premium plugin in as many websites as you like.
The only small catch is that you'll have to renew your license after one year in order to keep receiving updates and support. The renewal fee however comes with a 40% discount.
Don't like GeneratePress? They offer a 30-day money back guarantee. But you won't have to use it, you can trust me on that.
Final Thoughts on GeneratePress Premium
Switching themes is quite a time consuming process and it's also a bit scary. It's like buying a new car. Will you like it? What if you don't like it, or what if it doesn't perform as well as you expected?
Choosing the right WordPress theme is an important decision because you want to stick with it for many years to come. And that is why I did my due diligence before purchasing GeneratePress. I'm now happy I made the switch from FocusBlog to GeneratePress, it has exceeded my expectations.
One more thing I should mention is that GeneratePress is 100% mobile responsive. It looks and performs amazingly well on mobile and tablet. You can test this yourself by opening this article on your mobile, if you're not there already.
Hopefully this review has convinced you to give GeneratePress a serious go. I'm sure you won't regret it.
|GeneratePress Premium
|GeneratePress is a free WordPress theme plus premium plugin combination that is not only lightweight and fast but also powerful and flexible. The theme itself is bare bones with GP Premium allowing you to select and activate the extra features you need. The power of GeneratePress is not only the boost in page speed, but also the unlimited customization options.

What is the best nutrition advice you can use RIGHT NOW?
What is the most important meal of the day?
What is the most important workout that you have?
Which night of sleep matters the most?
What is the most important thing you can do to improve your health?
What is the "best" food?
The list of best and most important is endless. Sometimes I think my #LegDay is the most important as it's the hardest workout generally. Sometimes I think the intra-workout nutrition is the most important. But where does that leave me when the workout is over? Do the other workouts not matter as much? Should less thought be given to my other meals?
So what is the most important meal?
The workout that matters most and the night of sleep that can't be overlooked?
It's the one you can do RIGHT NOW. TODAY.
It's the decisions you make RIGHT NOW in the present moment that matter most. Ate a whole pizza and 2 liters of soda last night? It doesn't matter. Clean the slate and maybe have a healthy salad for lunch today. Missed all your workouts and waiting to go to the gym on Monday to start changing your life again? Go today. Go for a walk. Do some stretches. Go to sleep an hour earlier tonight. Do something that contributes to your health and adds to your life. Do it for yourself, do it for those you love. All the daily decisions that you can make that move you closer to living a healthy life add up.
It may not seem like much but just being aware, Taking action, and continuing to add these marginal gains will pay off greatly in the end!
People want "black-and-white" "all-or-nothing" binary thinking when it comes to fitness but too many times this leaves us with nothing and in darkness.
Start where you are.
Use what you have.
Do what you can.
