Squarespace is rarely my CMS platform of choice. I always recommend a custom WordPress build over website builders such as Squarespace, Wix and Weebly. I've explained my reasons why I choose WordPress in a previous post, you can read it here – 'Squarespace Versus WordPress – Why WordPress Is Better'.
To my surprise, when I was looking for a tutorial on how to implement FAQ schema for a client's Squarespace site, Google search came up empty. So in an effort to help others facing the same question, I wrote this guide for you.
What Is Schema Markup And Why Is It Important For SEO?
If you have ever searched for a recipe on Google, you have come across schema markup.
In the above screenshot, there are two visible structured markup: (i) BreadcrumbList and (ii) AggregateRating. Upon clicking through to the taste.com.au cheesecake link and putting it through Google's Structured Data Testing Tool, you can see the actual schema markup in use.
When Google crawls a web page, it wants to find out what a page is about. Googlebot cannot view a webpage like human eyes. Instead, it can only process HTML in order to figure out important details such ass the content, date published, author, and context to help it index it.
Schema markup, or structured data, is a way to better describe your content for Google to understand it.
Google prefers structured format to be in the form of JSON-LD.
Schema markup is not a directly ranking factor but it does play an integral part to SEO. Nobody knows how many pages Google crawls per day but it is probably a very high number given the amount of new pages are created every single day. Running these crawls costs Google time and resources, therefore, it will favor sites that make it easier for it to decipher what each page content is about so that it can index the page accordingly. By implementing the appropriate schema, you are giving your site an advantage over other competing pages.
What Schema Should I Be Using?
Schema.org adds new schema markup on a continual basis. It will also, under advisement, deprecate schema that can be better served by another.
At the time of writing, not all schema markup found on the schema.org website is being adopted by search engines such as Google. For example, FAQ schema only started being featured on SERPs earlier in June 2019.
Depending on your business model and the type of business that you run and/or manage, the list of relevant schema markup will differ from business to business. For example, an online store will not require LocalBusiness markup while a business with a retail brick and mortar store should be utilizing the LocalBusiness markup.
Similarly, an online store with e-commerce should invest in marking up individual product pages to help search engines easily understand and promote the page's content in its SERPs.
All businesses should, however, implement Organization schema markup. However, you should only implement this on one page, not mutltiple and certainly not across every single web page! For most brands, Organization schema belongs on the homepage or on the contact page.
Some other schema markup you should consider include:
- BreadcrumbList schema
- Blogpost schema
- Course schema
- VideoObject schema
- LocalBusiness schema
- Product schema
- FAQPage schema
What Is FAQ Schema And What Does It Look Like?
FAQPage schema contains a list of questions and answers pertaining to a particular topic. When FAQPage schema markup is implemented on a web page, it may be eligible to have a rich result on Search (as seen in the below screenshot).
FAQ rich results are available in all countries and languages where Google Search is available. This feature is available on desktop and mobile devices. A maximum of 10 questions and answers are visible and when used strategically, can encourage users to click through to your site.
Google content guidelines specify that all FAQ content must be visible to the user on the source page. That is, every question and answer in the markup must be reflected in the content of the corresponding page. Read the full content guildlines for FAQPage scheme here.
The easiest way to create FAQPage markup is to use a FAQ schema generator. My go-to schema generator is technicalseo.com.
How Do I Add FAQ Schema In Squarespace?
In this tutorial, you will learn to generate JSON-LD markup via a schema generator and insert the code via Page Header Code Injection.
1. Log into your Squarespace account.
2. Select a page to add FAQPage schema. Whilst you can choose to add FAQ schema to your homepage, please be aware that rich results will not appear for the homepage. I recommend adding FAQ schema to an About, Contact or FAQ page.
3. Write at least 3 questions and corresponding answers on the selected page. If you have an existing frequently asked questions section, leave the content as is. All you will have to do is to generate the markup code.
When adding questions and answers to your page, format it so that the information is easy to read. For example, you may consider using <h3> or <h4> tags for the questions or applying bold formatting to the question.
Answers can be one sentence long or span multiple paragraphs. In the below screenshot, you can see that we have included a number of relevant questions and answers about Ovolo Woollomooloo.
4. Publish the page. Once you are done with inserting the questions and answers on your selected page, click SAVE to make the changes live.
5. Use a schema markup generator. In a new tab/window, go to https://technicalseo.com/tools/schema-markup-generator/. This is ensure that the syntax of the JSON-LD is accurate. In the top drop-down box, select FAQ Page.
6. Copy/paste the first FAQ question into the Question #1 field. Go back to your Squarespace tab/window and copy and paste the first question into the provided field. Do the same for the Answer field.
7. Click on + ADD QUESTION button to add more question and answers. Repeat this process until you have covered all FAQs on your web page.
8. Copy the completed JSON-LD. Once you have filled in all your question and answers, click on the blue icon (shown below) to copy the completed JSON-LD markup. With the JSON-LD in your clipboard, go back to your Squarespace window/tab in your web browser.
9. Access the page's settings panel by clicking on the cog wheel symbol. Navigate to the Advanced tab. On this tab, you will see PAGE HEADER CODE INJECTION. This is where you will paste the JSON-LD from the schema generator.
10. Paste the completed JSON-LD and click SAVE. Once you click SAVE, the markup will be published. You will want to do two things: (i) check that your FAQPage schema is correct by using Google's Structured Data Testing Tool, and (ii) re-crawl the web page in Google Search Console.
How Do I Verify That FAQPage Schema Has Been Implemented?
Once you have followed the above steps, the first thing you should do is to validate that the JSON-LD markup is free of errors.
Google has a structured data testing tool that you can use to verify the markup. Simple copy/paste the URL into the tool and it will inform you of any syntax errors. If you use a schema generator, there shouldn't be any errors.
I like to then request Google crawl/re-crawl the web page via Google Search Console. Once crawled, Search Console will identify FAQPage schema (as seen in the below screenshot).
You can also preview what the rich result will look like on Google SERPs by using Google's Rich Results Test tool.
Grab the URL of the page that has JSON-LD FAQ schema markup and paste it into the box, then click TEST URL.
Unlike the Structured Data Testing Tool, the Google Rich Results Test checks whether the accordion-style FAQ rich results will show up underneath your link on SERPs.
Click PREVIEW SEARCH RESULT to get an idea of how the FAQPage schema renders as rich result (as shown in the below screenshot).
As a final step, I like to do a manual search on Google to see if the rich result comes up. If your page is not yet ranking, type in the main keyword + your site or use the site:yoursiteurl search modifier.
Did You Find This Guide Useful?
As Google contines to test its SERP real estate, the competition and demand for securing the coveted top results increases. Implementing structured data that is eligible for rich results is a competitive advantage to maximise your brand's exposure in organic listings.
Did you find this guide useful?
Let me know in the comments below. I'm also happy to answer any questions you may have.

Blue Bar in Skerries is like the definition of "grand" to me, so much so that it wouldn't generally warrant a review. The thing is, while Yelp and Tripadvisor both back me up here (3.5 stars out of 5), the common dialog about this place is that their wings are great (although sometimes their service lets them down). Their wings have even been called the best in Dublin, by some blog which is why I even went there in the first place, but the truth is, the wings aren't great and if you think that they are, you are fundamentally misunderstanding what makes a good wing. More specifically, you are likely mistaking size for quality, when in fact, the size of each wing is in direct opposition to its deliciousness as a wing.
What makes a good wing?
Smaller wings = a better ratio of surface area to meat. This means more crispy skin and a higher sauce to meat ratio. This is important because chicken meat can be kind of boring on its own and why are you even eating wings if not for the crispy fried skin and saucy sauce? This is exactly where Blue Bar goes wrong. Too much meat! Their portions are huge as well but we honestly got so bored eating them that we didn't even finish a large sharing portion between the two of us. I should make it clear that we are comfortable eating past the point of discomfort if it's still fun but it just became drudgery to be honest.
Sauce is also a key component but I'm pretty happy with any buffalo sauce, even straight from the bottle, so this really wasn't an issue. It all comes down to the wings themselves and I just can't get behind wings that eat more like legs.
Best Wings in Dublin
My #1 pick for wings is the famous Elephant & Castle
The individual wings are small but unbelievably crispy and the portions themselves are quite large. It's definitely worth the wait (and the venture into the treacherous touristy Temple Bar).
Want to make your own?
For a definitive guide and a rigorously tested recipe, I could try to reinvent the wheel but Serious Eats has already done the work. Check out The Food Lab: For The Best Buffalo Wings, Fry, Fry Again
Do you love Blue Bar wings? Strongly disagree? Help me understand what the big deal is in the comments!

I sometimes forget that my husband doesn't look like my son. I never really think about it until someone else points it out. In fact it took me a long time before I could say I was his mother without some sort of explanation. I felt like a fraud, like I was passing as his mother, I always felt like I had to add the prefix adoptive. After all, I was an infertile. I had plenty of experience being that, none of being a mother. When my child was placed in my arms, I didn't feel like I had "won". It was more like a woman was giving me her child for safekeeping. One day I didn't have a child and the next I did. I walked out the hospital feeling vaguely suspect. I held my breath the entire time we were away and only did I walk through the doors of my home, did I start to truly comprehend my new reality. There had been nothing but obstacles along the path to parenthood. I had to keep recreating my vision of myself. Everyone kept saying "just adopt, but there was nothing "just" about the whole situation. Still, I was madly in love and spent the wee hours drinking in his scent and marvelling at this tiny life in my arms.
I knew others would automatically think he was "mine'. I was uncomfortable with the whole race issue in a way I never had before. What would my husband know about raising a black male in this world? He was white. My husband had never been in the minority, had no idea of what it was truly like. I was black and female and was taught how to talk my way into and out of things, to charm and to make people at ease, to not get angry even when I was offended and hurt and made to feel less than. I had been followed around in malls and been called sullen and angry and difficult because I wasn't smiling, just thinking about what to have for lunch. I had been refused jobs, housing, been socially isolated, etc. I don't view my life through the same racial lens as a lot of African Americans do. Probably being raised in Canada in a metropolitan city has a lot to do with it. Yet when I started travelling outside of my own social circle and into the larger world, I learned some hard lessons.
When hubby and I first started travelling together, he would incredulously remark how people would turn and watch us as we entered certain establishments in certain places. I would tell him that people were just struck by our collective good looks. He wasn't amused. I was amused when we visited my sister who used lived in Atlanta at the time and we went to an all black church and when we took a bus in Toronto (the passengers of which were 99% black) to the subway. I giggled as he realized he was in the minority for the first time in his life. You should have seen his face. He looked – how do you put it – ENLIGHTENED – and …. outnumbered. How was he going to react if his son was slighted for racist reasons? When I met him, I was impressed with his ability to make me feel safe and protected. He was a prison guard and had developed a certain demeanour that few tested. I managed to dissuade him once when a mentally disturbed homeless person uttered a racist slur at me.
The whole time waiting we were expecting a mixed child, and since a lot of our friends were interracial, we certainly would not have stood out in any conspicuous way. Of course, we were already conspicuous, so those modules in adoption education were laughable to us. Still when it came right down to it, when we received the profile and booked our trip to meet the biological mother, I simply didn't care about what I had pictured anymore. It just suddenly didn't matter. I just wanted to be a parent. Someone once told me that my child would find me. For a woman like me, that was hard to believe. Until the day it happened.
So in our circle of beloved friends and family, we still enjoy a protective bubble, but as our child grows and enters the world with us by his side, we are reminded every now and then by curious glances, outspoken remarks and queries, that indeed we are a "conspicuous" family. The Precious knows that Mummy is chocolate like him and Daddy is well, white chocolate.
The same, but different.

Christmas is the time of the year, when you think on your beloved ones, when you pause for a moment to say "thank you". Still one of the nicest ways to tell is by a handwritten postcard, a little personal surprise in the moment of opening the postbox in the everyday rush – and even more, if it's not a cheesy golden-stars-and-tree ensemble but a simple black-and-white design that manages to put a smile on the face!
Dark Matter
Until today only 15% of the materia of the universe are known. The other 85% are a big mistery. Nobody knows how it looks or behaves. 15 artists and a number of scientists got into an intensive exchange about this "dark matter". The result is an exhibition at DESY in Hamburg where sculptures, paintings, installations, photographs and video works are placed in the direct neighbourhood of particle accelerators and the new free-electron laser.
Trilogie vom Hiersein
The "Trilogie vom Hiersein" is a series of three dance performances. The ensemble works very intuitively, their goal is to express pure emotion and transmit it to the audience. The flyer and poster capture the volatileness of the tiny moment of being that can be called "here" by combining three images to one explosive dance figure, interwoven with the headline – concentrated and energetic at the same time.
Nothing bad can happen
"Nothing bad can happen" is the first motion picture by Katrin Gebbe – and shown at the Festival de Cannes 2013. Her works are: straight, unsettling and sometimes even brutal, not afraid to break any rules, but with a sensitive sense for communication outside the language. Transferred to typography: clear and proud in its rounding, a little aggressive by its spikes, broad because of the big space between the letters.

Yes a GROWN woman who peed her pants while exercising. Blow it up, zoom in, whatever you want. That's not sweat, it's pee and is there for you (and everyone else that day) to see. This happens all the time actually. When I jump rope, when I run, when I jump, when I sneeze, when I cough, when... well you get the picture.
As of Wednesday this will no longer be happening to me. Wednesday I'm having surgery to repair my bladder and I can not wait. I'm not really concerned about the surgery, but I'm a little nervous for the recovery.
Once again, I'll be taking an exercise hiatus. The reason I decided to have the surgery now is because I'm already in a lull anyway with my stupid legs. I figured now would be as good of a time as any to have it done. I not allowed to exercise for 6 weeks-- No lifting, no submerging myself in water (i.e. swimming), no nothing.
I'm scared to take another long break, but this is something that I NEED to do. Everyone said I should wait for the end of summer, but I feel like I've been waiting for so long already. There would never be a perfect time if I kept waiting for it.
So while not being able to swim with my kids and not exercising all summer is really going to suck, I think this is going to be a great thing for me. I can't wait to no longer have to cross my legs just to sneeze.
Wish me luck!

When water damage strikes your home or property, it's natural to not know what to do. After all, this isn't something that happens every day. Water damage often seemingly comes out of nowhere, erupting from a burst pipe, springing from a slab leak, pouring in from a nearby overflowing lake, or some other source. It's rarely the kind of thing that someone can prepare for, which is why water damage in North Hollywood can be so devastating. Often, people who have been struck by water damage ask us: "what can I do before you get here?"
Our Water Damage in North Hollywood Advice
If you've been reading our blogs, you know that we're always available. That means we can come to your home or place of business at any time, day or night. We're always available because that's what it takes to stop water damage. Left unchecked, not only can the water damage get much worse, but the water can, too. When you contact us, we'll get the pertinent information we need from you on the phone and then we'll head out.
Of course, depending on where you are, it might take us a minute to get to where you are. People have asked us: "is there anything I can do before you get here?" Of course, before we say anything, the most important thing you can do is to stay safe. Water damage can be a serious threat to not just your building but your safety as well. If you have any inkling that the water is dangerous, just get to safety. None of your possessions, no matter how expensive or infused with sentimental value, are worth the health of you, your loved ones, your employees, or anyone else. If you have any doubt, run.
That being said, if the water damage is bad but not dangerous (a situation like clean water that hasn't been near any electronics, etc.) then there are some small steps that you can take to help things yourself. No matter what, make sure to get children and pets away from the water. There's no amount of water damage that's safe enough for them. Besides, during a time like this, you're going to have enough on your mind that you don't want to be concerned for their safety as well. So, you want to make sure that kids and pets are far from the damaged areas.
Safety First Always
If it's possible for you to stop the water source, do so. Always, always always – take safety into account first. For example, if the water's pouring forth from a source you can stop, do so. If it's coming in from somewhere you can't, don't. We'll take care of it as soon as we arrive. One important tactic that we do recommend if you can safely get to it is to turn on your air conditioning. That can help make the environment just a little bit drier, particularly in the warmer spring and summer months.
Excess water is one of the major problems related to water damage in North Hollywood. As excess water sits there, it can quickly turn. Sure, at first, water from your sink or pipe might be perfectly clean. But, if that excess water isn't dealt with rapidly, it can become a problem in a hurry. That means that it could turn into gray or even black water before you know it. If it's possible for you to deal with excess water on your own, do so.
We always recommend blotting and mopping excess water. That's the safest way to do so. It's not exactly lightning quick, but it does get the job done. Moreover, it's the kind of thing that you can do to slow the spread of water damage until we arrive. The faster you can begin to get rid of the excess water, the less overall water damage you might have. The mop is your friend in this case, but the household vacuum isn't. Trying to use that to remove the water can be very ineffective, but more importantly, it can be very dangerous, too. You want to use electronics as little as possible during water damage or flooding because you just don't know how they're going to react. As safety is paramount, avoid the vacuum.
If you can safely get to some of the more important items that can be removed, do so. At USA Restoration, we take great pride in being able to restore your items to their pre-loss state, to be as good as they were before the flood. However, we may not be able to save everything. If there are loose items on the floor that you can move in a hurry, it's worth it to do so. By that same token, you want to do the same with any documents, pictures or pieces of art. Those tend to be some of the more unique, irreplaceable objects that also do not react well to water.
Wet cushions and upholstery won't be restored sitting on a wet couch in a flooded room, so remove them if you can. Removing items on tables and lamps (provided they aren't plugged in) is a great idea, especially if that gives you the clearance to get excess water off of or away from wood furniture. These are all great things you "can do." You don't "have to" do them. It can help, if you're able to. If there's any threat whatsoever to your health or the health of someone else, just let us handle it.
Some Things not to do
We know that for many people, once water damage hits, there are a million things you want to do. You want to be able to save your home or commercial property (as well as your possessions) as quickly as possible. We understand that. But, there are some actions people take which can make things worse. For example, you may see that the ceiling is wet or sagging, and want to turn on your fan to help dry things out. Unfortunately, this could make things worse. First off, if the ceiling is sagging, stay out of the room period as its unsafe. On top of that, if you turn a ceiling fan in a room with a wet ceiling, you could cause harm to yourself or the fan.
If you're a person who still gets a physical newspaper (and hopefully you are, supporting local newspapers is a good thing) you may want to put the papers down to blot up the water. While this is the right idea, it may end up making things worse. The papers could end up staining the floors, furniture, or wherever else that you put the papers. Even beyond that, these newspapers tend to be thin so they won't soak up much water, either.
Electronics are one of the most expensive parts of any home or commercial property.

Xi's Three Battles: China's Credit Risks
Please join the Freeman Chair in China Studies for a discussion of the credit risks in China. At the December 2017 Central Economic Work Conference, Chinese policymakers decided that China would focus on fighting three critical battles to achieve high quality development in the next three years, among them curbing financial risks. This event features experts who will offer their assessments on China's credit risks and discuss why defusing these risks is critical to China's future growth. Andrew Polk, founding partner of Trivium/China, a Beijing-based advisory firm, and Gene Ma, Chief China Economist at the Institute of International Finance, will discuss the origins of China's debt problem, the challenges Beijing faces in deleveraging the economy, and the effectiveness of its recent policies. Christopher K. Johnson, Senior Adviser and Freeman Chair in China Studies, will moderate the discussion.
The China Reality Check Series presents perspectives from academia, industry, and government in order to promote a sustained dialogue on critical and insufficiently understood issues related to China's reemergence as a global power.
The China Reality Check Series is made possible through the generous support of the Duquesne Family Foundation and the Kaye Family Foundation.

The process of going by way of the court system is arduous and at times appears overwhelming. The acquisition value of the unique merchandise, much less any cash paid to government entities, comparable to filing fees or taxes, or to other third parties with a role in processing your order, will be credited to your LegalZoom account. Henry VIII of England broke with the Catholic Church so as to obtain a divorce.
During the first socialist authorities of Felipe González Márquez the 1981 legislation was amended to expedite the process of separation and divorce of marriages, which was again opposed by the Church, which called it "categorical divorce". However, there isn't any provision for joint custody of kids beneath Japanese regulation, unless the divorce was finalized in a foreign country where the child has citizenship and custody was established there.
Another odd side of Japanese family legislation is that women have to wait six months before they'll remarry after a divorce, although males don't have any such restrictions. The method and necessities for submitting divorce typically differ relying on the state, county, or district.
Also, the expertise of working collaboratively tends to improve communication between the parties, particularly when collaborative coaches are concerned, and the possibility of going back to courtroom put up-separation or divorce is minimized. This selection does not legally end the marriage and is mostly used when couples need to retain their marriage standing for religious or health care reasons.
Ladies can now file for no-fault divorce, but must give up all monetary and property rights to take action and repay any dowry their husbands gave to the wife's family upon the marriage. For those who and your spouse both suppose the divorce might be completed amicably, contemplate getting a divorce and not using a lawyer.

By Kevin Porter
Keyboardist extraordinaire, Bruce Katz and his band returned with Get Your Groove! on the American Showcase label earlier this year. Get Your Groove! is an 11-song showcase of Katz's formidable caliber of musicianship on piano and organ, and he moves between multiple musical styles, such as blues, barrelhouse boogie-woogie, and jazz, with astonishing ease. No surprise that Katz is a member of the Blues Hall of Fame and a four-time nominee of the W.C. Handy award for "Pinetop Perkins Piano Player of the Year."
Bruce Katz is perhaps the best keyboardist you might not have heard of but he is probably performing on many CDs and albums in your collection. He has appeared on over 60 albums and has performed with artists such as Gregg Allman, Levon Helm, Mama Thornton, Delbert McClinton, John Hammond, Duke Robillard, Jimmy Witherspoon, and Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters, a personal favorite of mine.
Bruce Katz' versatility is unparalleled, from bluesy and soulful organ to barrelhouse piano playing, and everything in between. His band includes singer/guitarist Chris Vitarello and drummer Ray Hangen, and guests include former Allman Brothers Band drummer Jaimoe, and Matt Raymond on acoustic and electric bass.
The album starts off with the band's take on "Hesitation Blues," an old blues standard from 1916 that has been covered by many prominent artists, including W.C. Handy, Rev. Gary Davis, Jelly Roll Morton, Hot Tuna and Janis Joplin. The band does this as a standard blues swing, with Vitarello crooning the lyrics.
For me, the highlight of the album is "Freight Train," a song Katz wrote in memory of the late Butch Trucks, Jaimoe's companion drummer with The Allman Brothers Band. Jaimoe plays on the song to give the double-drum-set attack that was a feature of The Allman Brothers Band. The song starts off with a driving organ and guitar line played in unison before Vitarello rips off a guitar solo that Mr. Earl would likely approve of.
After an organ solo by Katz, the tempo of the song slows, and after several tension-building moments, the band breaks into an all-too-short segment of the Allman Brothers Band instrumental classic, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed." Vitarello plays an excerpt of the well-known guitar line before Katz and he exchange several mini-solos while Raymond keeps the pressure building on the bass. The band then explodes back into the main dual organ-guitar melody line that started the song. One more change in tempo and melody awaits, with the band slowing and swelling into the ending, similar to the end of yet another Allman Brothers Band classic, "Jessica." I don't keep track of favorite jams of the year, but if I did, "Freight Train" would certainly be one.
Katz shows off his piano skills on "Beef Jerky," a jazz swing instrumental that would not be out of place on a Horace Silver album, if Wes Montgomery played guitar. This is actually a remake of an earlier version that Katz issued on his 2000 album, Three Feet Off the Ground. The band swings hard, and Katz and Vitarello show their jazz chops with impressive solos.
Jaimoe returns to play on "Shine Together (Tribe of Lights)," a blues shuffle with a bit of a reggae feel to it, and the first song with vocals since the first track. Hangen gets a chance to strut on this song by exchanging several short drums solos throughout the song in between solos from Katz and Vitarello. It's a light, airy song that would sound great at a jam band festival.
"River Blues" is a slow blues instrumental with a gospel sound, with Katz mixing in both organ and piano. Both Katz and Vitarello rely on a "less is more" approach with this song, with each note carrying particular weight, and Katz and Vitarello pulling and extracting emotion and meaning out of each note. For those wanting a comparison, think of some of Jeff Beck's slow instrumentals, like "Love is Green" on Wired and, of course, "Cause We Ended as Lovers" on Blow by Blow.
"Make Things Right" is a return to the hard driving blues-rock where Katz and Vitarello share the melody line. Vitarello's vocals bemoan the state of the world today but tries to figure out how he can make things right. Katz displays his barrelhouse playing piano with the title track, a New Orleans-sounding romp with a little off-kilter melody, akin to some Thelonious Monk songs.
Another highlight on the album is "Wasn't My Time," where Vitarello sings about close brushes with death, such as a near-miss drive-by shooting, but it wasn't the singer's time to leave this earth just yet. It's a slow blues jam where Katz and Vitarello again make each note count. It's another long jam, clocking in at eight minutes, but not a second is wasted. The song closes with "The Bun," another organ-driven instrumental with a slow burn reminiscent of Jimmy Smith.
Vitarello plays a useful foil and nearly steals the spotlight on some songs, displaying his versatility with swinging jazz guitar on some tracks and more bluesy playing on others. Get Your Groove traverses multiple musical genres with ease and with grace and is a joy to listen to.

At 6:00 a.m., I would wake up and jump out of the bed to quickly get ready for middle school and high school at the Davidson Fine Arts School in Augusta, Georgia, and just before getting on the bus, which left at 6:50 a.m., I would do my best to squeeze in at least ten or 15 minutes of practice time on the piano.
Then, after coming home from school and several after school activities, I would complete my homework assignments and eat a home-cooked meal at the dinner table with my mother and father. Then, my nightly, weekday practicing routine would start around 8:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. The well-known adage rings ever so loudly in my head, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice."
After moving to New York City in 2001, and after completing my undergraduate degree in Piano Performance at Howard University in Washington, D.C. and graduate studies at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, MD, one of my favorite things to do was drive by Carnegie Hall and say to myself: "One day I'll perform there." It seemed as if it would never happen, as I've performed at every major concert hall at Lincoln Center (Rose Theater of Jazz at Lincoln Center, Avery Fisher Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Merkin Hall) among other major performing arts venues in New York City over the past 14 years. But, the twelfth month, December, and the twelfth day, in the year 2012 marked my first time performing at Carnegie Hall performing as guest solo pianist in one of my colleagues, Diego Ahmed's original compositions "Fier Herzog."
My heart was overflowing with joy and happiness to look out in the audience and see family members and close friends in attendance that evening to support my debut at Carnegie Hall. Yet, at the same time, the moment was bittersweet as my father, who so selflessly gave so much of himself to support my musical endeavors, had already transitioned from Earth to Heaven back in May 2005; my mother was swiftly moving into advanced stages of dementia, which rendered her unable to be aware of the awesome accomplishment she, too, had worked so hard to prepare me for.
Who would have ever thought that this young Southern man from Augusta, Georgia, who was adopted and raised by older parents, would ever have an opportunity to grace the stage of such a prestigious hall where virtuosity and sheer artistic excellence is found. Who would not only perform at Carnegie as a pianist, but then be invited back again as choral preparer and as vocal soloist alongside Grammy-winning soul singer Lalah Hathaway, and international operatic soprano Nicole Cabell in April 2014 for Duke Ellington's Sacred Suite.
Surely, this was extremely sublime to experience the moment of gracing the Carnegie stage to a completely full house. Those are the experiences, which not only shape one's creative path, but also bring affirmation to a life-long faith that pushes one through their most obscure and difficult times.
And even in celebration of those two musical milestones, I have another humbling moment coming up on this Sunday evening, April 26, 2015. I will be making my Carnegie Hall conducting debut with a choir of 150 singers and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Youth Orchestra. Not only will I be making my own first appearance, but this will also be the first time my mentor, Wynton Marsalis, will have his through-composed work, the "Abyssinian Mass," performed at Carnegie Hall.
In retrospect, every meandering turn in my path to fulfilling my goals and realizing my dreams was worth every minute. I represent other adoptees that, at one point in their lives, may have questioned their very existence and, like me, asked God the question: "Why?" It has been my faith that has kept me when life's dark days seemed to overshadow the bright hope of a promising future.
And, yes, it is true that practice, practice, practice will land one on the stage at Carnegie Hall, but most of all, we must always be prepared for those specific moments that will catapult and shift our lives into that which we've always longed to achieve. I represent those who were told they never would, or never could. I represent those who struggle with the daily challenges of aging family members who are plagued by the memory thief of dementia. I represent young people everywhere to let them see themselves in me and know that nothing is impossible.

LV life insurance [2019]
Liverpool Victoria, commonly referred to as LV, is one of the UK's leading financial service providers with over 5.8 million customers.
They operate within the personal insurance sector, offering different types of cover including home, car and travel insurance.
LV also offers life insurance and their policies are available through us here at Reassured.
Let's review LV's life insurance offerings to see whether or not it's the right cover for you.
LV policy types
LV offers two types of life insurance; level term and decreasing term.
Both of these policy types run for a set period of time (or term) and if you were to pass away during this, a cash lump sum will be issued to your loved ones.
The key difference between the level and decreasing policies is the pay out sum.
The sum assured from level term cover holds its value throughout the policy, meaning that if you were to die 2 or 20 years into the policy, your loved ones will receive the same amount.
With decreasing term life insurance, however, the sum assured decreases over time. Meaning that the later into the policy you die, the lesser amount your loved ones will receive.
This tends to be the cheaper option of the two and is designed to cover the balance of a repayment mortgage.
Compare Life Insurance » Get Quotes From Major Insurers
Single vs joint policy
Both LV life insurance policy types are available as single or joint policies.
Generally speaking, you can save around -25% when taking out a joint policy as opposed to two singles.
However, a joint policy will only pay out once, meaning that when the first partner dies, a pay out is made but the surviving partner is left unprotected.
This will require them to take out a new policy at an older age, at which point they're likely to experience an increase in premiums.
Equally, if your policy is intended to protect your dependants and both you and your partner die simultaneously, only one pay out will be made.
This sum assured may not be significant enough to cover the cost of losing both parents.
Therefore, it's important to consider whether or not a joint policy would offer the level of protection you require.
LV policy criteria
Like most insurers, LV have certain age criteria you must meet in order to be eligible for cover with them.
LV accept life insurance applications from anyone aged between 17 and 79 years.
This is younger than most insurers which won't accept applications unless you're aged 18 or over.
For both level term and decreasing term policies, they offer a term length of 5 – 54 years. This will be determined by what it is you're looking to protect.
The term you choose must cease before your 85th birthday if not, it'll be declined.

LV policy details
Life insurance with LV starts from £5 a month, depending on your personal circumstances, and includes terminal illness cover as standard.
This means that if you were diagnosed with a terminal illness and given less than 12 months to live, you'll receive an early pay out.
These funds could help you pay for expensive medical treatment, adapt your home or simply enjoy your time with friends and family.
Premiums are fixed with all LV policies meaning that you'll not experience an increase in the monthly amount you pay during the policy.
Once a claim has been filed and a decision has been reached, LV aim to have the sum assured paid within 3 days.
LV over 50 life insurance
LV previously supplied life insurance for those over the age of 50; a product called 50 Plus. Unfortunately, they no longer provide this type of cover.
Their standard term life insurance will take applicants from the age of 79 and will provide cover until the age of 89.
Therefore, they do still offer a solution for those in later life, although it could work out very expensive.
However, if you're looking for a specific over 50s policy which guarantees acceptance and requires no medical information, it's best to consider plans from another insurer.
Those who already have a 50 Plus plan in place can still make a claim, providing the terms of the policy are still valid.
Up to £250 of e-vouchers
LV offers up to £250 of e-vouchers to all new customers which apply for a policy directly through their website.
Summary of LV's £250 e-vouchers:
- Value received will be based on your monthly premium payments, requiring you to spend a minimum of £50 a month to receive the full £250
- Incentive can be selected from a number of providers from an online portal
- Upon payment of your 6th premium, you'll become eligible for your vouchers
- The voucher can then take up to 28 days to be delivered
- No premium payments must be missed within this period
- There's a limit of 2 vouchers per household in any 12-month period
- The voucher is only available to new customers, (you can't have previously cancelled a policy with LV)
- You must apply for your policy directly with LV via their website, (telephone applications not eligible).
Whilst free gifts can tempt you towards choosing a specific insurer, it's important to consider the overall suitability of the policy in question.
Given that the term of your policy could last up to 45 years, £250 is unlikely to make a significant difference across this time span.
The best way of determining both the right policy at the right price is to compare quotes from multiple providers.
Compare Leading Insurers » Get The Right Cover For You
LV= Doctors Services
LV= Doctors Services is an online app which provides users with remote access to medical professionals and digital prescriptions.
This subscription is available as soon as your policy begins and comes with a number of their policies; however, the types are very specific.
LV= Doctors Services is only available to those who purchase life insurance and critical illness cover together directly through LV or those who purchase life insurance via an independent financial advisor.
This means that if you were to purchase life insurance alone (no critical illness cover included) directly from the LV website, you wouldn't be eligible for the subscription.
Conversely, if you were to purchase life insurance alone through an independent financial advisor you'd be eligible but not if you were to use a non-advised broker, like Reassured.
As with the £250 voucher, the key importance lies with finding the right protection, at the right price.
Critical illness cover
LV life insurance policies are available with critical illness cover at an extra cost.
This additional layer of protection starts from £5 a month and offers cover against 63 different medical conditions.
If diagnosed with a serious, yet non-terminal illness, critical illness cover will provide a lump sum pay out to help fund private medical treatment, adaptations to your home or cover the loss of income.
LV critical illness cover also provides £25,000 of cover for your children. Meaning, if your child is diagnosed with a serious illness, your policy will also provide you with a pay out.
Compare LV quotes against industry leaders
The monthly cost of premiums differs significantly between providers, so it's essential to ensure you compare quotes to obtain the most cost-effective policy.
At Reassured, we provide life insurance quotes from leading life insurance providers, including LV.
Simply provide us with all of the necessary information and we'll supply you with a range of quotes.
We'll also provide you with all the information and support you need to make an informed decision.

Player Profile - Greg Gaustad
Fierce, emotional, and has made other foosers cry…literally. Greg loves to win and hates to lose…god help you if you're his partner and screw up and cost him a match! Either way, he's a fun fooser to watch on the table and is truly passionate about this game.
Gaustad has been around for a long time and has earned his pro rank. He's solid as a forward, goalie, and in singles. Most people suffer from having too many shots on their 3 row, and while that still may be true for him…his shots are all at a high level, and that's just his style. He'll put the ball in the box with a good pull, push, and kick shots. His 5 is good on both ends…and watch out for his hook as well as his toss off the wall immediate brush down back to the wall pass…that's one of his faves.
In big events, Greg excels as a goalie. His defense is solid as is his 2 bar. Oh…and if you shoot the roller on him, just ignore his comments, because he hates that shot and will make you feel like less of a man for shooting it. lol
He's sorta like the Hulk - the angrier he gets, the harder he hits. It's best to play him straight up without getting him worked up. While he can't stand slop, or the roller…Greg will still give props to you if you beat him with a good game.
Strengths: Fierce, hates to lose, great singles game, strong 3 row with just about every shot in the book at a high level, Streaky, great goalie game – offense and defense, intimidating to lower ranked players
Weaknesses: Gets too angry which can affect his play, so many shots on the 3 that sometimes it takes a while to find the one that will score the best, hard partner to play with sometimes

Match of the Day- US style.
December 22, 2008
Yesterday I was up at 8am watching Arsenal play Liverpool. But it wasn't a football match. No, it was a soccer match. And then later in the day I watched the Seattle Seahawks beat the New York Jets at football. I hadn't a clue as to what was going on but they played in the snow in High Definition and it looked nice.
Here's a pic of Richard Lindon. His wife died from blowing up footballs made from pig bladders. She died of pig disease. And so Richard invented the India rubber bladder as an alternative. Yes, yes, I know, a bit late in the day, but let's not knock a man when he's down. I pinched the pic from Wikipedia. I hope that is ok.
I also hope Fox don't come after me for taking pictures of the TV yesterday so I can show you what their football soccer pundits are like. There they are down below, sitting in a fake pub! Yes! They present their analysis from a pub! And they are sponsored by Bass beer! Can you imagine that in Britain? Gary Lineker on MOTD sitting at a bar, with a bag of crisps? Well, yes, I guess.
So, this is how Americans view us Brits; spending our time going to the pub to watch football soccer. Fair do's.
Ok, the pundit on the left, in front of the dart board, is Keith Costigan, who had a brief spell at Luton Town. But who's the guy on the right? He sounds English but has the look of Anthony Michael Hall's stunt double. It's another competition. There's a prize (maybe) for whoever can name him and list the small-time Brit clubs he may have once played for. Wrong answers always welcome.
Anyone coming to this site hoping for more exciting stories from my American adventure; sorry, but we've all got colds. Oh, yesterday my niece and nephew both performed piano solos at Mrs. Kwok's house. She's their piano teacher. One of the other performers was a 13 year old boy who's just made his third film, playing a zombie! And I'm not even in LA.

Lake toba is the largest volcanic lake in the world, and a supervolcano. About 70,000 years ago it had a climate-changing eruption, which is the largest in the last 25 million years. It deposited 20-30 feet of ash on some parts of South Asia, and killed much of the human population, which some believe created a population bottleneck. The lake is up to 500 meters deep. Here is the history of Lake Toba. In the lake is Samosir island, measuring 100km long and 30km wide, which is the largest island within an island in the world. It's created by a resurgent dome. Here's some interesting stuff about the island.
There is a tiny little peninsula on the island, about 5km to go around it, called Tuk Tuk. The first stop of the ferry is here, in Bagus Bay. This is the area to stay on the island. I made my way to Liberta Homestay, which is a collection of bungalows right by the lake. Mine is a perfect little home with a porch in front that looks into nothing but green, and is just a skip down to the lake. Might be one of my favourite bungalows I've ever had at four dollars a night.
Oddly, it smells like my grandparents basement in Illinois. Brought back memories of sneaking down and looking for ice cream in the freezers as a kid. I was always sure that it was extremely haunted by the bad type of ghosts. Mr. Moon runs the place, and makes you feel right at home. They serve up some delicious plates of food, and most won't cost you more than a dollar. The woman and all the young boys who work around the place are super friendly and love trying to have a chat with you. Lius, the youngest boy is a crack up, and you have to give him a go at chess. He's seven and beats me at least half of the time, and proceeds to dance around and shove it in my face. Hurts to be shown up by a seven year old.
I wanted to go explore in the jungle so Mr. Moon was nice enough to give me one of his machetes to take with. I probably didn't really need it, but it's fun being able to chop things down in your way. There's a massive waterfall that comes down almost the entire side of the island top, it's pretty hard to miss. I wanted to get up there, and he told me where I should head in from the road. The last thing I needed was an unsuspecting backpacker who I could convince to join me. Just my luck, a dutch guy showed up named Sven, and I told him about the easy little waterfall hike I was about to embark on. He had come off a night bus, and hadn't had anything to eat all day. I think all he really wanted to do was chill, but it was just an easy hike up to a gorgeous waterfall according to me. About halfway up in the middle of the jungle, as I was hopping from trail to trail, I think he might have realised his mistake, he followed a crazy American guy with a machete up into the jungle.
Eventually you could hear the rushing of the water and we made our way closer and closer. It was all worth it when we got up to it, covered in mosquito bites and rashes from the plants. After some climbing and scrambling over boulders, we made it to a pool to swim in. The sky opened up and a down pour unleashed on us, throwing in some thunder roars.
The way down was barefooted slippery scamper through the mud. My feet are officially wrecked. My right heel is still jacked up from sliding down a banister this summer, and the morning I woke up naked in Melbourne, I had a bad sprained right ankle. After that hike, I'm a bit of a gimp. Getting back to Tuk Tuk, we crossed through all the rice patties being worked. Something about them is beautiful calming to me.
The locals on the island are extremely friendly and interested in you. As you walk around there are constant hellos and giant smiles coming from all directions. On our way back down, a guy in front of his house waved us over and wanted us to come in. There were over ten people in the small house, and a lot of little kids. Nobody spoke a word of english. They brought us into the kitchen and gave us stools, and then we all just sat there smiling at each other, and after a few minutes we excused ourselves. Those kinds of random encounters happen a lot here. I think they are very proud to have a guest like us in their house. Being in places like this as a tall white guy with blonde hair helps me understand how the celebrities feel with the paparazzi.
It took me an hour the other day to get ten minutes down the road. I had three groups of young girls who wanted to interview me. It's always the same questions; where are you from, what is your name, how old are you, do you like Indonesia, how long are you here for, whats your favourite food (which they always think is pizza), are you married, where is your family, and stuff like that. Sometimes I'll give some goofy answers just to see the look on their faces. After the questions it's picture time, and more like full on photo shoot time. First is group photos with everyones phone, then individual pics with each one of them. It isn't just the school girls wanting photos though. I've probably already posed for over a hundred pictures with little muslim women, babies, old men, you name it and I guarantee I've been photographed with it. I really don't mind, but it's kind of strange to think about, all the hundreds of pictures that are out there of me and Indonesians. Every once in a while I'll pull out my camera and get one too.
It was funny, after all of that, the girls each wanted me to sign there notepad and write my name under it. They all asked for my Facebook, but I put a different last name. The last thing I need is a bunch of twelve year old girls posting on my Facebook.

As we approach the new school year, there is more for us moms of allergic children to think about than stationary and book supplies. Entrusting your food allergic child's health to the care of another adult, perhaps one unfamiliar with his or her food allergies, can be pretty daunting. The usual excitement surrounding the first day inevitably leads to anxiety as visions of tuck shop chaos, classroom birthday parties and snack sharing fill your head.
In order to feel confident and ensure your child has a safe school year, you must check off your own back to school list. One that involves obtaining a letter from your child's paediatrician or allergist; contacting and meeting with the principal, school nurse and teacher; and creating an individualised allergy school health plan. All well before your child's first day of school.
Some schools may have developed their own school-wide Allergy Management policy to address students with food allergies. Parents should find out if such a policy exists for the school where their food allergic child will attend. In addition to this, each parent should work with their child's school and doctors to formulate an individualised care plan to be given to the principal, teacher and school nurse to ensure all present know what to do in the event of an allergic reaction.
Examples of items to consider when working with your child's school to formulate a school and individualised allergy care plan
- Signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction
- A list of all allergies (including food and environmental) and the severity of each
- An emergency treatment plan – including a list of the child's medication, such as adrenaline auto injectors, antihistamines; emergency services numbers and the child's doctor's details.
- Training of staff on how to recognise allergic reactions and administer medicine, such as adrenaline auto injectors.
- Guidelines for safety at lunch and snack time – e.g. no food sharing
- Changes in the classroom, canteen or tuck-shop – e.g. "nut free tables ', use of soaps free from nut oils, no latex balloons, no foods as rewards in the classroom, alternatives to food for party treats.
- Elimination of food in art classes or other lesson plans
- Storage of medicines
- Storage of safe snacks and safe non-perishable lunch items should the need arise.
- Other issues pertinent to your child and his/her specific food allergies, such as responsibilities and procedures on field trips, school parties and for other potential risk situations.
Once your child's plan is created, you will need to update it at key transition times or whenever there is a problem or incident that reveals a gap in the plan.
In addition to preparing your child's school, you will also need to prepare the young person at the centre of all this planning! Start working with your child, in an age-appropriate way, to teach him what he is responsible for, such as avoiding allergens, not sharing food and speaking up if he starts to have an allergic reaction at school.
With the above plans and preparation in place, your child's risk and exposure will hopefully be reduced to have a safe 2015 school year.

Good Morning Angels: Helping a caring, cancer survivor look after herself
Updated | By Breakfast with Martin Bester
She was diagnosed with cancer of the womb last year - a great shock to her and all who know her.
She was diagnosed with cancer of the womb last year - a great shock to her and all who know her.
BACKGROUND: Selina Mkhonza has a heart of gold and a passion for the babies she helps to take care of at a pre-school in Pretoria. The children in her care are between 3 months and 2 years old - a difficult age that requires constant attention. The children are as much a part of Selina's life as she is of theirs. Little did she know just how much the parents and her employer love her. She was diagnosed with cancer of the womb last year - a great shock to her and all who know her. She's been through treatment, an operation and gruelling chemo therapy, while still giving care and love to the babies. Despite being in pain and feeling drained, she never gave up on her passion for the children or the will to fight another day. One of the parents however wrote to Good Morning Angels asking for assistance for Selina, to afford her some much needed time to heal and rest and come back to school as strong as always.
REQUEST FROM: Stephanie Conradie
REQUEST FOR: Selina Mkhonza
ANGEL: Mashudu Ndopu, sales and marketing director at Ask Afrika
SPONSORING: Ask Afrika will assist Selina on her journey to fight cancer and keep her family financially afloat with a donation of R50 000! This will cover her income to enable her to take some time off work at the pre-school and also assist with medical and other expenses.
Based in the Jacaranda capital - Ask Afrika is in a proudly South African (Level 3 B-BBEE) company that develops home-grown market research solutions to business through customised research insights. With over two decades of brand and customer service benchmarking as well as social profiling. They are a globally recognised company with a passion for making consumer voices heard. Giving Back matters to them as they continuously invest in education and the arts - which they firmly believe will contribute toward a bright future for our country and continent.
Good day Jacaranda and Good Morning Angels,
I am writing on behalf of the Baby class at the Crèche that my baby is cared for every day.
Selina Mkhonza is a wonderful lady who helps with the babies and she loves our children dearly, and our children adore her. However, Selina is currently also going through cancer treatments. Earlier this year she underwent an operation to remove the cancer, now the exhausting process of further treatments lay ahead. I can only imagine how difficult it is to undergo treatment and then also looking after babies aged between 3 months and 2 years old.
Unfortunately there is only so many leave days and sick leave days and the crèche cannot appoint someone while still paying Selina's salary. What we are asking is to please consider helping Selina so that she can take time off and rest while she recovers from treatments, the crèche can then appoint someone part time until Selina is well and strong again.
Selina receives a salary of R5 600 per month. Our request is that you perhaps provide a few months' worth of salary to Selina so that she can rest and not have to worry about work and salary. We all love her dearly and she deserves not to worry throughout this journey.
Thank you for making such a difference in our country.
Kind regards,

OMG I am Good - Look, I am Parenting
By Kirsty Rice - 4th November 2011
There's a new family at our school. They're Australian and they have 5 children. When I told my husband about them, he feigned devastation. "You know what that means. We're no longer the Australians with the 4 kids, we've just become the Australians with the 4 kids who didn't try hard enough".
I have often joked that 4 children in 6 years was an exercise in extreme parenting. It was also an exercise I wore with an indulgent and oversized badge of honor. If there were awards for getting knocked up, I was lining up in the front row for mine.
Perhaps it was the reaction of those around us. Their excitement and even their horror seemed to spur me on. I once walked through an airport in Melbourne with a baby strapped to my front and another in a carrier on my back. Adding to the degree of difficulty, for a score of 9.9, I was also pushing a child in a stroller with one hand and dragging a suitcase with another. I had something else, a slightly freaked out yet smug look on my face. "Look at moi, Look at moi" my euphoric face said, I can do anything, I've just flown with 3 kids under 4 - on my own!
I know I'm not the only one. I've heard others giving themselves a pat on the back, casually sneaking the odd detail in when they think they've got it right. Maybe, it's their child's organic vegetable intake or the fact that they've managed to make the tennis schedule fit in with the soccer training and ballet class. Perhaps someone's child is finally dressing themselves. Someone started a business from home while breastfeeding twins, someone else gained a degree while weaning a baby and caring for a toddler. We're not waiting for the validation - we've already self validated. Your're welcome.
Why? I'm guessing it's because we've learnt that no one else is going to do it. Sure, your partner might tell you you're doing a great job and maybe even your family. But is it as rewarding as unbiased feedback?
When my youngest child was 5 months old, I returned to the corporate world and two shocking, yet amazing things happened:
Number 1 - we were allowed to leave the office and get a coffee, all by ourselves! No one sat on my lap and not one of my colleagues pulled apart a blueberry muffin and squished it in to my pants.
Number 2 - I had fixed targets, set goals and people told me when I was doing a good job. I had performance reviews where we discussed me, me and me and the self development of me and how I felt about me and the role I was in.
There were no blurred lines. The goals were on paper, expectations were explained, performance management plans were put in place.
It was the complete opposite of parenting.
There is no CEO of parenting. No one to report to. Sure, there's plenty of books, thousands of "experts" and opinions - but no opportunity for a "parent of the month" award. Wouldn't it be nice to get a round of applause from an independent resource? An award, perhaps for the way you handled the dispute over whose turn it was on the computer while wrangling the 5 year old out of the bath and practicing for the French conversation test tomorrow.
I'm still waiting for my key performance indicators, parent strategy map and end of year bonus. But, in the meantime I'll just continue on with my regular today-I-have-no-idea-tomorrow-I-might-rock-at-this roller coaster ride that is parenting. And if you're doing well today, if you've had a win, give yourself a pat on the back.
Any ideas on what some of the key performance indicators for parenting should be? How about:
- Did everyone under the age of 12 leave the house with clean underwear this morning?
- Was everyone under the age of 12 wearing underwear this morning?
- Did you manage to get out of the house this morning without shouting "I'm going to count to 3"
Feel free to add some of your own..

This post is primarly a note to self
Apparently, accordingly to the Openbox' default configuration, in a dual-monitor setup, the primary monitor is the one on the left, and this leads to an annoying issue when you use as primary monitor the one on the right, as in my case: in fact, if the monitor on the left is off, you won't be able to see dialogs popups, for instance the application switcher popup or the virtual desktop switcher.

If you want to learn more about Jekyll, I think the official website is a good place to start from.
Ok, let's talk about the way I use Jekyll: I build my website locally, then I push changes with git to my Amazon AWS instance and at the same time I keep a copy of the blog sources on Github available for consultation or forking. That's it.
Just for completeness, Github itself has a great free hosting service for your site, Github Pages, that supports static sites and Jekyll blogs as well, but I'm already a (happy) AWS user so I decided to host my site there instead of Github Pages.
So this is the scenario, now let's take a look at the workflow: I push changes both to AWS and Github, then a post-receive hook script on the server builds and publishes the Jekyll blog.
In order to obtain such workflow, we have to:

I have a Raspberry Pi board and some days ago I decided to use it as a sort of print server at home, excited about the idea of being able to plug the RasPi's power supply then turn the printer on and wirelessly send it documents from my laptop(s).
While getting ready to put my hands on it and set up the server, a problem showed up: once the print is done, I'd probably want to turn off the printer, turn off the RasPi and possibly unplug power supply; it's a headless system, so I would connect over SSH and run the proper command to shutdown the RasPi, but what about my mother?
I mean, she's clearly not a UNIX geek. Without a power button or a point-and-click graphical interface she wouldn't be able to properly shutdown the RasPi, so she would probably unplug the power supply, and we all know how bad is this practice.

Today's blog post is about a sample application that uses Web UI and js libraries and shows some information about you on Google+. To retrieve these informations, application uses the Google APIs Client Library for JavaScript.
Funny story: I chose to use Google API javascript client (handled with dart js-interop library) instead of dart client since the latter was outdated and while I was editing the code an interesting project appeared on GitHub: dart-google-oauth2-library by +Gerwin Sturm. dart-google-oauth2-library simplifies the whole authentication process in a significant way, so please consider the following just as an example of how js-interop works.

FREE Bankruptcy Consultation!
Your First Step Starts Here!
Get the HELP You Need to Make the Best Decision.
Lets Get Started By Filling Out The Form Below:
Trusted By Thousands of Customers Since 2012!
For a person or a company that is buried in debt, filling for bankruptcy might be the only option to free themselves. The process of filing for bankruptcy can be intimidating. Even though you are legally not required to have a Mesa bankruptcy lawyer when you file for bankruptcy, it helps to have an experienced advocate by your side. An expert will walk you through the entire process and ensure that it is resolved as fast and easily as possible. Still not convinced you need a bankruptcy lawyer? Below are the top reasons why you should hire one.
Determine if you need to file
While you might feel backed up a wall and it seems that the only option you have is filling for bankruptcy, it might not be the solution. There is a chance that there is another option that is better suited for your specific situation. You will probably be unaware of your options and this is where the Mesa bankruptcy lawyer comes in. By consolation an expert before filling, they will advise you on other paths that you can use to manage your debt more efficiently. They will assess your situation and then decide if you should file for bankruptcy.
Advise on which chapter to file for
Depending on your specific situation, you can either file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. The Mesa bankruptcy lawyer will clarify them for you and advise you which is best to manage your debt. Chapter 7 is for individuals or companies without income or assets. Chapter 7 involves liquidation of all the assets and hence all debt is absolved except for student loans, child support or back taxes. For individuals with income or assets they are advised to file for Chapter 13. Their debt is restructured such that the payments are more manageable.
Increase your chances of acceptance
While anybody can file for bankruptcy even without an attorney, hiring one increases the chances of acceptance. They will ensure that all the paperwork is filled in and that all the necessary information is reported. This reduces the chances of being denied. The attorney is also knowledgeable about the intricacies of the law and this increases your chances of acceptance.
If you are looking to file for bankruptcy, ensure that you have legal counsel by your side. This will make the process less strenuous and also increase your chances of success.
