Saw a common house-fly and a grasshopper and a brown bear. The fly and grasshopper paid me a merry visit on the top of the Dome, and I paid a visit to the bear in the middle of a small garden meadow between the Dome and the camp where he was standing alert among the flowers as if willing to be seen to advantage. I had not gone more than half a[Pg 135] mile from camp this morning, when Carlo, who was trotting on a few yards ahead of me, came to a sudden, cautious standstill. Down went tail and ears, and forward went his knowing nose, while he seemed to be saying, "Ha, what's this? A bear, I guess." Then a cautious advance of a few steps, setting his feet down softly like a hunting cat, and questioning the air as to the scent he had caught until all doubt vanished. Then he came back to me, looked me in the face, and with his speaking eyes reported a bear near by; then led on softly, careful, like an experienced hunter, not to make the slightest noise; and frequently looking back as if whispering, "Yes, it's a bear; come and I'll show you." Presently we came to where the sunbeams were streaming through between the purple shafts of the firs, which showed that we were nearing an open spot, and here Carlo came behind me, evidently sure that the bear was very near. So I crept to a low ridge of moraine boulders on the edge of a narrow garden meadow, and in this meadow I felt pretty sure the bear must be. I was anxious to get a good look at the sturdy mountaineer without alarming him; so drawing myself up noiselessly back of one of the largest of the trees I peered past its bulging buttresses, exposing only a part of my head,[Pg 136] and there stood neighbor Bruin within a stone's throw, his hips covered by tall grass and flowers, and his front feet on the trunk of a fir that had fallen out into the meadow, which raised his head so high that he seemed to be standing erect. He had not yet seen me, but was looking and listening attentively, showing that in some way he was aware of our approach. I watched his gestures and tried to make the most of my opportunity to learn what I could about him, fearing he would catch sight of me and run away. For I had been told that this sort of bear, the cinnamon, always ran from his bad brother man, never showing fight unless wounded or in defense of young. He made a telling picture standing alert in the sunny forest garden. How well he played his part, harmonizing in bulk and color and shaggy hair with the trunks of the trees and lush vegetation, as natural a feature as any other in the landscape. After examining at leisure, noting the sharp muzzle thrust inquiringly forward, the long shaggy hair on his broad chest, the stiff, erect ears nearly buried in hair, and the slow, heavy way he moved his head, I thought I should like to see his gait in running, so I made a sudden rush at him, shouting and swinging my hat to frighten him, expecting to see him make[Pg 137] haste to get away. But to my dismay he did not run or show any sign of running. On the contrary, he stood his ground ready to fight and defend himself, lowered his head, thrust it forward, and looked sharply and fiercely at me. Then I suddenly began to fear that upon me would fall the work of running; but I was afraid to run, and therefore, like the bear, held my ground. We stood staring at each other in solemn silence within a dozen yards or thereabouts, while I fervently hoped that the power of the human eye over wild beasts would prove as great as it is said to be. How long our awfully strenuous interview lasted, I don't know; but at length in the slow fullness of time he pulled his huge paws down off the log, and with magnificent deliberation turned and walked leisurely up the meadow, stopping frequently to look back over his shoulder to see whether I was pursuing him, then moving on again, evidently neither fearing me very much nor trusting me. He was probably about five hundred pounds in weight, a broad, rusty bundle of ungovernable wildness, a happy fellow whose lines have fallen in pleasant places. The flowery glade in which I saw him so well, framed like a picture, is one of the best of all I have yet discovered, a conservatory of Nature's precious plant people.[Pg 138] Tall lilies were swinging their bells over that bear's back, with geraniums, larkspurs, columbines, and daisies brushing against his sides. A place for angels, one would say, instead of bears.The Indians I had met near the head of the cañon had camped at the foot of it the night before they made the ascent, and I found their fire still smoking on the side of a small tributary[Pg 226] stream near Moraine Lake; and on the edge of what is called the Mono Desert, four or five miles from the lake, I came to a patch of elymus, or wild rye, growing in magnificent waving clumps six or eight feet high, bearing heads six to eight inches long. The crop was ripe, and Indian women were gathering the grain in baskets by bending down large handfuls, beating out the seed, and fanning it in the wind. The grains are about five eighths of an inch long, dark-colored and sweet. I fancy the bread made from it must be as good as wheat bread. A fine squirrelish employment this wild grain gathering seems, and the women were evidently enjoying it, laughing and chattering and looking almost natural, though most Indians I have seen are not a whit more natural in their lives than we civilized whites. Perhaps if I knew them better I should like them better. The worst thing about them is their uncleanliness. Nothing truly wild is unclean. Down on the shore of Mono Lake I saw a number of their flimsy huts on the banks of streams that dash swiftly into that dead sea,—mere brush tents where they lie and eat at their ease. Some of the men were feasting on buffalo berries, lying beneath the tall bushes now red with fruit. The berries are rather insipid, but they must needs be wholesome, since for days and weeks the In[Pg 227]dians, it is said, eat nothing else. In the season they in like manner depend chiefly on the fat larvæ of a fly that breeds in the salt water of the lake, or on the big fat corrugated caterpillars of a species of silkworm that feeds on the leaves of the yellow pine. Occasionally a grand rabbit-drive is organized and hundreds are slain with clubs on the lake shore, chased and frightened into a dense crowd by dogs, boys, girls, men and women, and rings of sage brush fire, when of course they are quickly killed. The skins are made into blankets. In the autumn the more enterprising of the hunters bring in a good many deer, and rarely a wild sheep from the high peaks. Antelopes used to be abundant on the desert at the base of the interior mountain-ranges. Sage hens, grouse, and squirrels help to vary their wild diet of worms; pine nuts also from the small interesting Pinus monophylla, and good bread and good mush are made from acorns and wild rye. Strange to say, they seem to like the lake larvæ best of all. Long windrows are washed up on the shore, which they gather and dry like grain for winter use. It is said that wars, on account of encroachments on each other's worm-grounds, are of common occurrence among the various tribes and families. Each claims a certain marked portion of the shore.[Pg 228] The pine nuts are delicious—large quantities are gathered every autumn. The tribes of the west flank of the range trade acorns for worms and pine nuts. The squaws carry immense loads on their backs across the rough passes and down the range, making journeys of about forty or fifty miles each way.
July 14. How deathlike is sleep in this mountain air, and quick the awakening into newness of life! A calm dawn, yellow and purple, then floods of sun-gold, making every thing tingle and glow.
July 7. Rather weak and sickish this morning, and all about a piece of bread. Can scarce command attention to my best studies, as if one couldn't take a few days' saunter in the Godful woods without maintaining a base on a wheat-field and gristmill. Like caged parrots we want a cracker, any of the hundred kinds—the remainder biscuit of a voyage around the world would answer well enough, nor would the wholesomeness of saleratus biscuit be questioned.[Pg 78] Bread without flesh is a good diet, as on many botanical excursions I have proved. Tea also may easily be ignored. Just bread and water and delightful toil is all I need,—not unreasonably much, yet one ought to be trained and tempered to enjoy life in these brave wilds in full independence of any particular kind of nourishment. That this may be accomplished is manifest, as far as bodily welfare is concerned, in the lives of people of other climes. The Eskimo, for example, gets a living far north of the wheat line, from oily seals and whales. Meat, berries, bitter weeds, and blubber, or only the last, for months at a time; and yet these people all around the frozen shores of our continent are said to be hearty, jolly, stout, and brave. We hear, too, of fish-eaters, carnivorous as spiders, yet well enough as far as stomachs are concerned, while we are so ridiculously helpless, making wry faces over our fare, looking sheepish in digestive distress amid rumbling, grumbling sounds that might well pass for smothered baas. We have a large supply of sugar, and this evening it occurred to me that these belligerent stomachs might possibly, like complaining children, be coaxed with candy. Accordingly the frying-pan was cleansed, and a lot of sugar cooked in it to a sort of wax, but this stuff only made matters worse.[Pg 79]On my way to camp a few minutes ago, I[Pg 45] passed a dead pine nearly ten feet in diameter. It has been enveloped in fire from top to bottom so that now it looks like a grand black pillar set up as a monument. In this noble shaft a colony of large jet-black ants have established themselves, laboriously cutting tunnels and cells through the wood, whether sound or decayed. The entire trunk seems to have been honeycombed, judging by the size of the talus of gnawed chips like sawdust piled up around its base. They are more intelligent looking than their small, belligerent, strong-scented brethren, and have better manners, though quick to fight when required. Their towns are carved in fallen trunks as well as in those left standing, but never in sound, living trees or in the ground. When you happen to sit down to rest or take notes near a colony, some wandering hunter is sure to find you and come cautiously forward to discover the nature of the intruder and what ought to be done. If you are not too near the town and keep perfectly still he may run across your feet a few times, over your legs and hands and face, up your trousers, as if taking your measure and getting comprehensive views, then go in peace without raising an alarm. If, however, a tempting spot is offered or some suspicious movement excites him, a bite follows, and such a bite! I fancy that a bear or wolf[Pg 46] bite is not to be compared with it. A quick electric flame of pain flashes along the outraged nerves, and you discover for the first time how great is the capacity for sensation you are possessed of. A shriek, a grab for the animal, and a bewildered stare follow this bite of bites as one comes back to consciousness from sudden eclipse. Fortunately, if careful, one need not be bitten oftener than once or twice in a lifetime. This wonderful electric species is about three fourths of an inch long. Bears are fond of them, and tear and gnaw their home-logs to pieces, and roughly devour the eggs, larvæ, parent ants, and the rotten or sound wood of the cells, all in one spicy acid hash. The Digger Indians also are fond of the larvæ and even of the perfect ants, so I have been told by old mountaineers. They bite off and reject the head, and eat the tickly acid body with keen relish. Thus are the poor biters bitten, like every other biter, big or little, in the world's great family.Clouds as usual about .05. Another glorious Sierra day, warm, crisp, fragrant, and clear. Many of the flowering plants have gone to seed, but many others are unfolding their petals every day, and the firs and pines are more fragrant than ever. Their seeds are nearly ripe, and will soon be flying in the merriest flocks that ever spread a wing.
September 20. The weather still golden and calm, but hot. We are now in the foot-hills, and all the conifers are left behind, except the gray Sabine pine. Camped at the Dutch Boy's Ranch, where there are extensive barley fields now showing nothing save dusty stubble.
How smooth and changeless seems the surface of the mountains about us! Scarce a track is to be found beyond the range of the sheep except on small open spots on the sides of the streams, or where the forest carpets are thin or wanting. On the smoothest of these open strips and patches deer tracks may be seen, and the great suggestive footprints of bears, which, with those of the many small animals, are scarce enough to answer as a kind of light ornamental stitching or embroidery. Along the main ridges and larger branches of the river Indian trails may be traced, but they are not nearly as distinct as one would expect to find them. How many centuries Indians have roamed these woods nobody knows, probably a great many, extending far beyond the time that Columbus touched our shores, and it seems strange that heavier marks have not been made. Indians walk softly and hurt the landscape hardly more than the birds and squirrels, and their brush and bark huts last hardly longer than those of[Pg 55] wood rats, while their more enduring monuments, excepting those wrought on the forests by the fires they made to improve their hunting grounds, vanish in a few centuries.September 18. Made a long descent on the[Pg 262] south side of the divide to Brown's Flat, the grand forests now left above us, though the sugar pine still flourishes fairly well, and with the yellow pine, libocedrus, and Douglas spruce, makes forests that would be considered most wonderful in any other part of the world.June 24. Our regular allowance of clouds and thunder. Shepherd Billy is in a peck of trouble about the sheep; he declares that they are possessed with more of the evil one than any other flock from the beginning of the[Pg 62] invention of mutton and wool to the last batch of it. No matter how many are missing, he will not, he says, go a step to seek them, because, as he reasons, while getting back one wanderer he would probably lose ten. Therefore runaway hunting must be Carlo's and mine. Billy's little dog Jack is also giving trouble by leaving camp every night to visit his neighbors up the mountain at Brown's Flat. He is a common-looking cur of no particular breed, but tremendously enterprising in love and war. He has cut all the ropes and leather straps he has been tied with, until his master in desperation, after climbing the brushy mountain again and again to drag him back, fastened him with a pole attached to his collar under his chin at one end, and to a stout sapling at the other. But the pole gave good leverage, and by constant twisting during the night, the fastening at the sapling end was chafed off, and he set out on his usual journey, dragging the pole through the brush, and reached the Indian settlement in safety. His master followed, and making no allowance, gave him a beating, and swore in bad terms that next evening he would "fix that infatuated pup" by anchoring him unmercifully to the heavy cast-iron lid of our Dutch oven, weighing about as much as the dog. It was[Pg 63] linked directly to his collar close up under the chin, so that the poor fellow seemed unable to stir. He stood quite discouraged until after dark, unable to look about him, or even to lie down unless he stretched himself out with his front feet across the lid, and his head close down between his paws. Before morning, however, Jack was heard far up the height howling Excelsior, cast-iron anchor to the contrary notwithstanding. He must have walked, or rather climbed, erect on his hind legs, clasping the heavy lid like a shield against his breast, a formidable iron-clad condition in which to meet his rivals. Next night, dog, pot-lid, and all, were tied up in an old bean-sack, and thus at last angry Billy gained the victory. Just before leaving home, Jack was bitten in the lower jaw by a rattlesnake, and for a week or so his head and neck were swollen to more than double the normal size; nevertheless he ran about as brisk and lively as ever, and is now completely recovered. The only treatment he got was fresh milk—a gallon or two at a time forcibly poured down his sore, poisoned throat.Had a long conversation, after dinner, over Madison days. The Professor wants me to promise to go with him, sometime, on a camping trip in the Hawaiian Islands, while I tried to get him to go back with me to camp in the high Sierra. But he says, "Not now." He must not leave the General; and I was surprised to learn they are to leave the valley to-morrow or next day. I'm glad I'm not great enough to be missed in the busy world.
June 23. Oh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days, inciting at once to work and rest! Days in whose light everything seems equally divine, opening a thousand windows to show us God. Nevermore, however weary, should one faint by the way who gains the blessings of one mountain day; whatever his fate, long life, short life, stormy or calm, he is rich forever.After a mile or so of this memorable cliff work I approached Yosemite Creek, admiring its easy, graceful, confident gestures as it comes bravely forward in its narrow channel, singing the last of its mountain songs on its way to its fate—a few rods more over the shining granite, then down half a mile in showy foam to another world, to be lost in the Merced, where climate, vegetation, inhabitants, all are different. Emerging from its last gorge, it glides in wide lace-like rapids down a smooth incline into a pool where it seems to rest and compose its gray, agitated waters before taking the grand plunge, then slowly slipping over the lip of the pool basin, it descends another glossy slope with rapidly accelerated speed to the brink of the tremendous cliff, and with sublime, fateful confidence springs out free in the air.
How different are most of those of the white man, especially on the lower gold region—roads blasted in the solid rock, wild streams dammed and tamed and turned out of their channels and led along the sides of cañons and valleys to work in mines like slaves. Crossing from ridge to ridge, high in the air, on long straddling trestles as if flowing on stilts, or down and up across valleys and hills, imprisoned in iron pipes to strike and wash away hills and miles of the skin of the mountain's face, riddling, stripping every gold gully and flat. These are the white man's marks made in a few feverish years, to say nothing of mills, fields, villages, scattered hundreds of miles along the flank of the Range. Long will it be ere these marks are effaced, though Nature is doing what she can, replanting, gardening, sweeping away old dams and flumes, leveling gravel and boulder piles, patiently trying to heal every raw scar. The main gold storm is over. Calm enough are the gray old miners scratching a bare living in waste diggings here and there. Thundering underground blasting is still going on to feed the pounding quartz[Pg 56] mills, but their influence on the landscape is light as compared with that of the pick-and-shovel storms waged a few years ago. Fortunately for Sierra scenery the gold-bearing slates are mostly restricted to the foothills. The region about our camp is still wild, and higher lies the snow about as trackless as the sky.
The mountain live oak, common here and a thousand feet or so higher, is like the live oak of Florida, not only in general appearance, foliage, bark, and wide-branching habit, but in its tough, knotty, unwedgeable wood. Standing alone with plenty of elbow room, the largest trees are about seven to eight feet in diameter near the ground, sixty feet high, and as wide or wider across the head. The leaves are small and undivided, mostly without teeth or wavy edging, though on young shoots some are sharply serrated, both kinds being found on the same tree. The cups of the medium-sized acorns are shallow, thick walled, and covered with a golden dust of minute hairs. Some of the trees have hardly any main trunk, dividing near the ground into large wide-spreading limbs, and these, dividing again and again, terminate in long, drooping, cord-like branchlets, many of which reach nearly to the ground, while a dense canopy of short, shining, leafy branchlets forms a round head which looks[Pg 39] something like a cumulus cloud when the sunshine is pouring over it.

Located just north of Interstate 10 in the western edges of the West Valley in Maricopa County, Pebble Creek, Arizona, is a fantastic place for active adults to find a great home that provides them with easy access to do the things they love while offering a calm and comfortable home life.
With the Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds having wrapped up another season of spring training at their complex in nearby Goodyear, many visitors have had the opportunity to see Pebble Creek for themselves. That means that if you want to find your ideal home, now is the time to buy before someone else beats you to it.
To make an informed decision on your home, you'll need two things: a knowledgeable Pebble Creek real estate agent, and an idea of what kind of home you want. Here's a checklist to help you determine the type of home you want, so you're ready to start looking for homes.
When you're ready to look at houses, you should have a clear picture in mind of what the ideal house might look like and what features it should have. For instance, do your children or other family members live close enough that they'll likely come visit regularly? If so, a home with extra bedrooms would be perfect for hosting them whenever they choose to drop by.
Or perhaps you've got the freedom to play golf every day and would love a short walk to the first tee. A lot on the golf course is a great benefit to have. Or, you can opt for a fenced-in yard to allow your dogs to have full reign in the back. The possibilities are only limited by your desires and your budget. Just make sure that your real estate agent knows what you value and it can be done.
Unless you've got the budget and wherewithal to build a home from the ground up, you're probably not going to find a home that meets 100 percent of your wish list. But you can usually find a home that meets 90 to 95 percent of what you're looking for, and if you're willing to let the last bit go, it'll be a home that serves you very well.
The best way to do this is to figure out which things you're willing to compromise on and which things are an absolute must-have. Once you realize which things you're willing to live with and which things would make a house less than enjoyable, you'll have a much easier time finding the house you really want.
A house might cost money to change, but that doesn't mean that you can't change some or most of the features of it if you have the ability. So what you need to focus on is what you won't be able to change no matter what you do. For instance, if you want to be close to a golf course, but your ideal home isn't, it might not be so ideal. If you're part of an HOA, you might have rules you have to follow, and it's important that you're agreeable to them. If you have a problem with those rules, chances are that you'll be happier in another place that might take a little more work, but will eventually become something that you'll truly love.
Buying a house anywhere is a process and, as with any process, it's important to prepare yourself as early as possible to give yourself the most information. By knowing what you want, you'll make it easier for your Pebble Creek real estate agent to find the perfect home for you, allowing you to snap it up before someone else does!


Home > Taxing the digital economy in Malaysia: How do we balance growth with sustainability?
The fact is that many of the key enablers for growth of the digital economy are going to require public investment, and this will require funding. Overcoming the human capital constraints in the country, as described in a new World Bank report , is just one example of that.
As the economy becomes increasingly digitized, the tax system will need to reflect that change. But taxation can do more than just fund necessary investments—it can also help ensure that digital entrepreneurs in Malaysia are operating on a level playing field. Like other businesses in Malaysia, digital entrepreneurs will have to account for sales taxes on the goods and services they provide to their customers.
During our recent conference on 'Public Policy in a Digital World'  we found that 72% of people on Facebook in Malaysia are currently linked to a small business outside the country. At the moment, those businesses are not required to pay sales taxes here - which gives them an edge over domestic suppliers. We also learned that 87 million Facebook users outside Malaysia are connected to businesses in the country. Increasingly, Malaysian businesses selling online to foreign customers will find they have to account for taxes on consumption levied in the countries where their customers are based. In February, Singapore announced that it would be applying its sales tax to imported digital services — a step many other countries are already taking. This reflects an international consensus that taxes on consumption should also apply to goods and services supplied across borders. With a well-established model in place, this means that Malaysia has an opportunity to follow suit in order to secure sales taxes from foreign suppliers. This would also remove the incentive for consumers to favor foreign suppliers over their domestic competitors.
Our report on Malaysia's Digital Economy  delves further into this, and discusses how Malaysia might also approach the taxation of profits generated from cross-border activity within the digital economy. This is an important issue as the digitization of the world economy has made international sales much easier to achieve, including for SMEs. Aspects of how digital businesses operate across borders raise some novel issues for the designers of income taxes.
For example, policymakers around the world are wrestling with the fact that a digital business can have a sizeable presence in a local market, and yet have no physical footprint there at all — no local staff, no offices and no equipment. This is often described as having "scale without mass". If that business is making significant profits because of its virtual presence in an economy — through advertising or through the sale of data - some of its profits could also be taxable in that economy. Some governments take the view that this is particularly true of businesses that rely on their users to create the content that attracts other users to their platform. The equal treatment of domestic and foreign businesses is also part of the debate about how best to tax the profits of international digital businesses. The report discusses developments internationally in the field and sets out options that Malaysia can consider as it develops a tax policy that supports growth in its domestic digital economy.
To put it simply, good tax policies can play an important role in delivering the results that Malaysia has set itself when it comes to the digital economy. The report provides a framework for thinking about these different options. This framework could serve as the foundation for a balanced approach that is fair and clear, and which also fosters growth that is both rapid and sustainable.

Gilbert Louis Duprez, född 6 december 1806, död 23 september 1896, var en fransk operasångare (tenor) och sånglärare.

Duprez var elev till Alexandre-Étienne Choron. Han var 1836–1855 förste tenor vid Parisoperan och 1842–50 professor vid Pariskonservatoriet, samt grundade därefter en egen sångskola. Duprez har skrivit åtskilliga kompositioner, mer känd är dock hans självbiografi, Souvernirs d'un chanteur (1888), och i synnerhet hans sångskolor, L'art du chant (1845) och La mélodie (1873).

Q: Which case count as leading PF in Salient plot generator?
In the figure above we can see the location of two armature currents. In case 1, \$I_{a1}\$ is leading \$Vt\$ (terminal voltage) but lagging \$E_f\$ (excitation voltage). In case 2, it is obvious that \$I_{a2}\$ is leading both voltages.
I have seen many cases that have stated that case 2 is a leading pf. However, in a few references, I have seen people use case 1 as a leading pf. I would like to ask to make sure about which case is right when the machine is in generator mode with leading PF.
It is obvious the internal PF angle will have a different value in each case.

A: The load impedance is inductive and current lags behind voltage when the phase angle between voltage and current is positive.
$$ \phi = \phi_v - \phi_i > 0 \rightarrow Lagging$$
The load impedance is capactive and current leads voltage when the phase angle between voltage and current is negative.
$$ \phi = \phi_v - \phi_i < 0 \rightarrow Leading$$
Both cases can be correct as it depends if you've defined the rotation of your d-q plane to be clockwise or counterclockwise. As long as you're consistent you'll be fine. I've learnt it as counterclockwise. Therefore with Ef as the reference point (0°), Ia_1 is lagging Ef and leading Vt. Ia_2 is leading both Ef and Vt.
\$ Ia_1 = -30°, Ia_2 = 30°, Ef = 0°, Vt = -60° \$
\$ \phi = \phi_v - \phi_i = Ef - Ia_1 = 0° - (-30°) = 30° > 0 \rightarrow Lagging \$
\$ \phi = \phi_v - \phi_i = Ef - Ia_2 = 0° - 30° = -30° < 0 \rightarrow Leading \$

Blue Rose Code
Fri 26th October 2018
Edinburgh born Ross Wilson spent his creative formative years in East London, then moved to South England 'to be by the sea's energy' but it is in his homecoming that he has found where his heart is. Life wasn't always simple for Wilson. "I have swapped one type of chaos for another" says Wilson.
A nomad both geographically and musically, Ross writes from the heart eschewing any specific genre and the twelve songs on new album The Water Of Leith, addressing themes of love, loss, travel, home, accepting the past and embracing the future, are painted with colours of folk, jazz, soul and pop; an eclecticism that has become a hallmark of Blue Rose Code and has seen him compared to John Martyn, Van Morrison and Tom Waits.
Underlining the sense of movement and place in Ross's work and The Water Of Leith is rooted in his return to his Scottish homeland. There, he reconnected with the stellar musicians who were to become an integral part of the new album's sound: multi award-winning singer Julie Fowlis, celebrated Gaelic singer Kathleen MacInnes, BBC Folk Award Winner, Ross Ainslie, 2017's Scottish Jazz Awards' instrumentalist of the year Konrad Wiszniewski, leading violinist Seonaid Aitken and three of Scotland's finest jazz musicians; John Lowrie, Colin Steele and James Lindsay, to name just some of the contributors. Grammy-winning American singer-songwriter Beth Nielsen Chapman features on the opening track. Ross co-produced the album with Angus Lyon.
Wilson cites taking his last drink as the start of living rather than the end of the drinking. Now a committed enthusiast and creative whirling dervish, Wilson has seen the past few years produce some of his most exciting work including the album 'THE BALLADS OF PECKHAM RYE', which was nominated for the prestigious Scottish Album Of The Year Awards in 2014 and featured a roll-call of remarkable talent, including Danny Thompson, Karine Polwart, John Wetton, Aidan O'Rourke and Kathryn Williams.
The Blue Rose Code game has certainly changed, they are heard regularly in session for the BBC (TV and Radio), STV, Alba, TG4, Virgin Radio.
Live performance is where Blue Rose Code connects strongly with their audiences, they have toured the length and breadth of the UK selling out venues wherever they go and leaving a trail of fans in their wake. Featured in festivals Celtic Connections, Edinburgh Fringe, Looe, Summer Isles, Lindisfarne, Southern Fried, Underneath The stars.
Ross Wilson has spent most of his musical life curating; he sculpts his band to every mood and temperament in order to create the perfect happening.
As the man at the helm of Blue Rose Code, he is, part director, part sculptor...total chameleon.
'The Water of Leith is an ode to forgiveness, to letting go of the past and holding on to hope – it's an astonishingly accomplished, pure and sincere record' ***** THE SKINNY
'a work laden with beauty, possessed of depth, heart and soul' - AMERICANA UK 9/10
'this album deserves your undivided attention' - MAVERICK

Q: Required attribute is not working for forms As a small beginner project for HTML, CSS and Javascript, I was tasked with making a website for a restaurant. However, when I tried using the required attribute in an input tag, it didn't work. Here is the page with the problems:
HTML:

  <form name = "loyalty1">

                      <input type = "checkbox" id = "teal">
                       Buy Teal Level

 Aqua Level

 Get $15 off for every third meal (must be above $50) from the restaurant. Not only will you get exclusive discounts for new meals, and you will recieve amazing recipies! Price: $40/month.

                      <input type = "checkbox" id = "aqua" >
                       Buy Aqua Level

 Turquoise Level

 Get one meal free for every 3 meals above $50. You will also recieve exclusive discounts, new meals and attend private cooking and baking classes from our chefs! Price: $60/month.

                      <input type = "checkbox" id = "turquoise">
                       Buy Turquoise Level

                  Email: <input type = "email" name = "userEmail" required>
                  <input type="submit" onclick="loyalty()" style = "margin: 15px 620px">

            </form>

Javascript function:

function loyalty(){
  var email = document.loyalty1.userEmail.value;

  else
  {
    if ((document.getElementById("teal").checked == false) && (document.getElementById("aqua").checked == false) && (document.getElementById("turquoise").checked == false))
    {
      alert("Please select a loyalty level.")
    }
    else if (((document.getElementById("teal").checked == true) && (document.getElementById("aqua").checked == true)) || ((document.getElementById("teal").checked == true) && (document.getElementById("turquoise").checked == true)) || ((document.getElementById("aqua").checked == true) && (document.getElementById("turquoise").checked == true))) {
      alert ("Please select only one loyalty level.")
    }
    else if (document.getElementById("teal").checked == true)
    {
          alert ("Thank you for choosing the Teal loyalty level. We will email you at " + email + " for further instructions.")
     }
    else if (document.getElementById("aqua").checked == true) {
        alert ("Thank you for choosing the Aqua loyalty level. We will email you at " + email  + " for further instructions.")

        alert ("Thank you for choosing the Turquoise loyalty level. We will email you at " + email + " for further instructions.")
    }
  }
}

On a different page on my website, the required attribute is working just fine, which is really confusing:

function feedback() {
  var email = document.feedback.userEmail.value;
  var comments = document.feedback.comment.value;

  if (comments == "")
  {
    alert("Please fill in the comment field.")
  }

  alert ("Thank you for your feedback. \n" + "Email: " + email + "\nComment: " + comments);
}
<form name = "feedbackForm" id = "feedback">

 Please enter your email:

                    <input type = "email" id = "userEmail" required>

 Please enter your feedback:

                    <textarea rows = "4" columns = "50" name = "comment" form = "feedback">Enter text here</textarea>

                    <input type = "submit" style = "margin: 15px 620px" onclick = "feedback()">
                </form>

Please help! Thanks

A: the required field in you code is working fine!
i would advice you to change the checkbox to radio this will save you from checking if the user selected only one item (radio button don't allow selecting 2 radio with the same name)

Water Paucity Taking Toll on Development Projects
EghtesadOnline: Petrochemical, fertilizer and refinery projects with annual capacity to manufacture 5 million tons are facing rough times and some have been put on hold as the water problems worsen.
According to Energy Newcomes, a domestic privately-owned media group, water scarcity is one of serious challenges Tehran faces as it seeks to skirt US economic sanctions by boosting output of petroleum byproducts that are more difficult to track than crude that has identifiable characteristics.
Referring to plans to build a petrochemical plant near Firouzabad Country in (parched) Fars Province, Hamidreza Soleymannejad, one of the plant's project managers was quoted by the media as saying that it has everything needed to start work (authorization from the Oil Ministry and National Petrochemical Company as well as funds), but has barely registered 10% progress after 10 years.
The manager put the blame on the limited water resources crucial for cooling the plant's boilers, Financial Tribune reported.
"In the initial studies there were some errors about the water the plant would actually need," he said, adding that the (water-stressed) region simply does not have the water needed for the plant.
According to Reza Banimahd, a businessman with experience in refinery projects, the fate of the Firouzabad plant is not unique as many similar projects were proposed by lawmakers trying to create jobs in their constituencies.
"Unfortunately the technical studies have been ignored," he said.
Despite the fact that Iran has massive hydrocarbon reserves and is willing to raise output of downstream products that can help evade the unilateral US sanctions, development of water-intensive industries are menaced by drought and rapidly depleting water resources.
The plant in Firouzabad, an inland area in the thirsty south, is planned to produce 1 million tons of ethylene a year.
Based on figures for a plant with the same capacity, output would need at least 2 million tons of water a year.
The government is struggling with the worsening water crisis and wants to transfer the $500 million plant to coastal regions where desalinated water could be used. But the local inhabitants have objected and the project has stalled.
"There is a problem with coordination between ministries over development plans," Kaveh Madani, a former deputy vice president for the environment said, adding that sanctions have forced the government to sacrifice development projects and the environment in the interest of job creation.
Deferral of the Firouzabad plant has had ripple effects, disrupting other projects that are supposed to use the facility's ethylene -- a raw material used to manufacture polymers namely polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polystyrene (PS) as well as fibers and other organic chemicals.
If (and when) the plants become operational, they will add to the strain on the region's inadequate water reserves.
Iran's petrochemical plants have the capacity to produce 65 million tons of goods a year, of which 22.5 million tons is normally exported.
The government aims to increase output to 91 million tons in two years and 130 million tons in five years. Iran's refining capacity stands at about 2.23 million barrels per day.
Iran is an arid and water-scarce country. The amount of annual renewable water resources is 1,600 cubic meters -- nearly one fifth of the global average of 7,600 cubic meters.

Tony and Manja Briffa speak at marriage equality rally in Melbourne, 16 August 2014
By Tony Briffa on 20 August 2014
Tony and Manja Briffa spoke at a Marriage Equality rally in Melbourne, on 16 August 2014. Here's Tony's speech.
UPDATE, 24 August: Details of the Senate submissions and hearing have moved here.
Thank you for the introduction and thank you to Equal Love for continuing the campaign for marriage equality for 10 years!
I'm an intersex person and I'm embarrassed. Embarrassed of our country's leaders and their commitment to treat certain couples with contempt. To deny us rights purely based on our sex or gender. Embarrassed.
Discrimination is not ok – but that's what's enshrined in the Commonwealth Marriage Act. Not love, but discrimination.
When the Australian Parliament changed the Marriage Act to specify that marriage is between a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others I was confused. What does that mean for a person like me? Intersex people like me are born biologically part male and part female. That's our nature. Can we marry at all? If we marry, even as a heterosexual couple, will someone later question the validity of our marriage?
I've had birth certificates that recognise me as a female, male and even no sex. I didn't need surgeries or anything like that for the different birth certificates. I am what I am.
I was legally married to a man once – I had a birth certificate that said I was female so the government allowed me to marry him.
I could have married a woman too –but I would have had to pretend to be a man. I don't want to pretend. I am what I am. I'm not ashamed of what nature made me. I should be able to marry whom I want. If it doesn't matter to me if my partner is male or female, why should it matter to the Parliament? Under the current Marriage Act I can't marry anyone unless I deny my true self and pretend to be only one sex, and that of the opposite sex to my partner. Why should I be forced into this nonsense?
I'm embarrassed. When Manja and I went to New Zealand to get married last year people couldn't understand why Australia was so backwards. It didn't seem right to anyone that we couldn't marry.
When we married in New Zealand everyone there welcomed us. The Mayor of Dunedin gave us permission to marry in the Council Chambers, and when we were taking our photos after the ceremony we even had school kids and elderly locals come up to us to congratulate us on our wedding. It was lovely. We were a part of the community and genuinely welcomed. Our marriage didn't undermine 'family values', 'the fabric of society' or anything like that. If anything, our marriage enhanced it. It showed that marriage was an important commitment and something we value. We value it so much we went overseas to do it.
It's disheartening that in Australia I was able to foster children, get elected to a council, become Mayor, work for Defence and the Australian Federal Police, etc., but when it comes to rights, I am denied the right to marry who I want based on sex.
I'm embarrassed.
When Manja and I were leaving New Zealand having just been married the week before, it dawned on us that as soon as we disembarked from our flight in Melbourne we would no longer be recognised as married. I felt embarrassed and ashamed of our country. A country I am otherwise proud of.
Our marriage is recognised in:
England, Wales, Scotland
Parts of the United States and Mexico.
I'm proud of our community but I am embarrassed by the leadership of this country; both with the current federal Liberal government, and the former Labor government. The community is largely supportive of marriage equality, so I don't understand why they don't just change the law. They are supposed to represent community values.
We all must work as a community and focus on Marriage Equality – two people being able to marry irrespective of their sex or gender. This includes Intersex people and some trans people and gender diverse people.
Same Sex Marriage is about two people of the same biological sex or gender identity, but this is not inclusive of everyone. It still denies people like me from marriage, and renders intersex people invisible.
Let's end the embarrassment.
Given the passing of Robin Williams this week I will end on a quote from one of my favourite Robin Williams films:
To be acknowledged for who and what I am, no more, no less. Not for acclaim, not for approval, but, the simple truth of that recognition. This has been the elemental drive of my existence, and it must be achieved, if I am to live or die with dignity.
Laura Beth Halbert August 22nd, 2014
Excellent speech, Tony!! :)

Using a variety of attachments we destroy and prepare the concrete to be crushed for its new purpose. Specialized magnet attachments for our excavators and a built-in magnet on our crusher separate the reinforcing from the concrete providing a nice clean finish, recycling the concrete and steel.
With the new MKIII, we are addressing these challenges directly by offering peak performance and maximum throughput, while reducing the cost of primary stage infrastructure," says Guillaume Lambert, vice president, Mining Crushers at .
Sand making machine is also known as sand crusher, VSI crusher or vertical shaft impact crusher, which is suitable for the medium and fine crushing of various rocks, abrasives, refractory, cement clinker, quartz, iron ore, concrete aggregates and other hard and brittle materials.It is more suitable for the crushing of construction sand and road gravels.
The Crusher probably will never see mass production. The cost would be too high (the designers don't even quote a number). It's designed as a functioning prototype to test various technologies the NREC is developing as part of a program called UPI.
The Reborn solution rebuilds a crusher system by exchanging the existing crusher for a new one, and reutilizing existing crusher auxiliaries. This cost-effective solution is up to 40 percent cheaper than replacing the entire crusher system, and is fully compatible with existing plant infrastructure.
And our experts constantly developing new technologies, with the most advanced technology to replace unnecessary parts and reduce costs. If you want to learn more about different kinds of stone crusher machine price in india, Just contact us!

At the controls as Aer Lingus continues steep ascent
Newly-installed chief executive Sean Doyle is targeting further transatlantic expansion

"There's no room for complacency in this business." It's not exactly a mantra, but it's a phrase that Aer Lingus chief executive Sean Doyle repeats often enough to make clear that he does not believe in taking things for granted.
Doyle took over at Aer Lingus at the start of the year, inheriting a business that had just earned record operating profits of €305 million in 2018 and had grown its transatlantic operations, the chief focus for expansion, by 17.5 per cent.
This year it will launch a new service from Dublin to Minneapolis in the midwestern United States, while only a hold-up in the delivery of new aircraft has forced it to postpone plans for a new route between the capital and Montreal until next year.
Notwithstanding delays in the arrival of the Airbus A321 long-range aircraft it has ordered from the European aircraft manufacturer, Doyle indicates that further expansion across the Atlantic is on the cards. Aer Lingus plans to continue with its strategy of developing its base at Dublin Airport as a hub, using the gateway to transfer passengers between Europe and North America, cashing in on its geographic position and the fact that it is one of the few European Union airports with US customs and immigration pre-clearance.
"If you look at what we communicated in November, we want to go from 17 long-haul aircraft to 30 over the next five years. That would be the most significant expansion that Aer Lingus would have ever seen.
"I think we have momentum in a number of directions that we're looking to capitalise on. We'll be looking at new destinations next summer but also looking at ways in which we can strengthen the places that we already fly to. So places where we may be not flying daily, we have to look at getting them up to a daily service because that's important when you're building out hub activity to offer a consistent daily schedule that people can use to plan their itineraries."
The A321 is going to play a big part in this. Aer Lingus has ordered up to 12, with four due to arrive this year. Putting it simply, the economics of the new aircraft will allow the airline to serve destinations in the US, particularly on the east coast, more cheaply.
Doyle says that the carrier, its parent, International Consolidated Airlines Group (IAG), and Airbus are "excited" about the fact that the Irish carrier will pioneer its use across the Atlantic.
This, he says, will focus the manufacturer's efforts on getting past the delays in delivery, a problem that is hitting the industry as a whole, not just Aer Lingus. "Currently, we expect that all four A321LR Neos planned for 2019 will be delivered in 2019, and similarly we expect to receive all four A321LR Neos planned for 2020 to be delivered in 2020.
"There are a lot of people interested in the aircraft, which tells you all you need to know, but strategically it's exactly the right play for Aer Lingus. It plays to the Dublin hub in a way that does not afford the same advantages out of other European gateways."
The A321 is a narrow-body aircraft. These are more usually associated with shorter routes, although new technology is changing this. Within Aer Lingus, Doyle points out, there is already a precedent for using such aircraft on the North Atlantic, as the airline flies Boeing 757s on such routes.
"Aer Lingus was also one of the first airlines to operate the A330 across the north Atlantic and that was a plane that was originally designed for domestic operations," he points out, adding that the aircraft has since become ubiquitous on routes between Europe and the US.
While new aircraft technology is opening opportunities for airlines, it has not been without its troubles. Following crashes in Ethiopia and Malaysia, US manufacturer Boeing has suspended deliveries of its 737 Max aircraft while it seeks a solution for a software problem that may have been responsible for the tragedies.
Doyle points out that Aer Lingus does not use the B737 Max.
"I think everybody in the industry obviously takes the tragedies that happened with Lion Air and Ethiopian very, very seriously," he says. "And I think the industry has a track record – be it the manufacturers, the regulators and the operators – of really learning from what went on and making sure that we implement best practice to ensure it does not re-occur."
There are commercial challenges too. Following a period of almost unprecedented growth, airlines, particularly in Europe, are running into difficulty as costs rise on the back of oil prices and interest rates, and as competition intensifies. Norwegian Air Shuttle, which itself has ambitious plans to offer cheap transatlantic flights, including from Ireland, has sought more cash from shareholders. Iceland's Wow Air left passengers stranded this week as it finally collapsed after the failure of rescue talks. Most observers predict that aviation faces a period of closures and consolidation.
A British Airways veteran, Doyle knows that aviation is particularly prey to cycles. "What you're seeing this year in the industry is probably a clear differentiation between airlines that are doing well and those that who aren't doing so well. But I think we're financially in a very strong position to weather whatever may come our way.
"We need to keep finding ways of being smarter, more efficient and continuing to offer value for money because that is probably one of the bigger single drivers of people choosing Aer Lingus ahead of the competition."
Aer Lingus calls itself a "value carrier", which Doyle explains means that it is not full service in the traditional sense, but neither is it low-cost. Instead, its chief executive says, it focuses on what passengers value. It is something that he argues the airline does better than any other.
Competition does not only come from other airlines. As Dublin Airport seeks to develop itself as a transatlantic hub, it will be competing with other gateways across Europe. Its owner, State-owned DAA, is already building a new runway and plans to add extra piers and stands for aircraft by 2023, something the airlines say it needs to do urgently. Doyle says that when he talks to the airline's pilots, this is the issue they raise most with him.
"You know, Dublin is number five now [among European airports] for transatlantic destinations served," he says, noting that it has come a long ways since 2012. "We grew our north Atlantic services by 17 per cent last year, so it's important that we get behind the capital development plan, build out the right infrastructure, build on the momentum and advantages that we have.
"I think stands and piers and taxiways are a fundamental physical constraint that you can't overcome and they are very important to getting the best use out of the additional runway capacity. That's why we fully support the capital development plan as being the right thing to focus on over the next four to five years."
"It's an ambitious plan," he says of the DAA's proposals. "It's a complicated programme, so there's no room for complacency. I think we need to get through the planning application and get some sensible outcomes in things like noise regulation. There's no point in having a hub if you can't land aircraft in the peak period when people want to come to Dublin and when they want to connect."
The Government has already named Fingal County Council as the airport's noise regulator, a step towards addressing local concerns that led to the night flight conditions attached to permission for the new runway – limiting the number of flights in and out of the airport to 60 between 11pm and 7am, a window that takes in some of Dublin's busiest periods.
Dublin already exceeds these limits, but they do not apply until the new runway is finished and in use.
Doyle argues that it is difficult for Aer Lingus to plan its future until there is certainty about all of this. It is, he says, one of the "big tensions" in managing the business.
Failure to find a resolution means Dublin will end up with a runway it cannot use fully, something that will run counter to the national interest that required the new runway in the first place, he warns.
Doyle hails from Youghal, the east Cork seaside town, where his father was the Garda sergeant. He grew up close to its famous beach and, not surprisingly, was "steeped in the GAA".
It was, he remembers, a thriving place until the mid-1980s, when a domestic recession and a shift in manufacturing to the Far East conspired to close one of its biggest employers, Youghal Carpets. Parents of about half his classmates were among the 800 people who lost their jobs as a result.
"That was a big shock to the town," he recalls. "Youghal had a great hurling team in the early Eighties and within a couple of years half of that team were either in America or the UK seeking a living."
It was this experience that taught him to take nothing for granted. " I think that was very much one of the things that would have driven me forward in my career was seeing what Ireland and Youghal were going through in the 1980s."
He graduated from University College Cork with a B Comm and trained as a management accountant with CB Forms, a start-up in Cork city run by a friend of his. In 1998, driven by the desire to see a bit of the world and work for a larger organisation, he successfully applied for a job as a financial analyst with British Airways.
Doyle went for two years but stayed for 20. He arrived at a time when the airline was growing but also dealing with newly-emerged competition from low-cost carriers Ryanair and EasyJet. He was still learning the ropes when terrorists attacked the World Trade Center in New York in September 2001, bringing the industry to a near standstill.
Like many others, British Airways had to cut its workforce and unprofitable routes to survive, but it emerged with a leaner base from which to grow.
"That was quite a learning curve, to be part of the airline business at that time," he says.
Stints in Singapore and Sydney followed between 2001 and 2006. This period gave him a ringside view of Asia's growth. He returned to London in 2006 to head the cargo operation in British Airways, more or less on time for the global financial crisis and subsequent recession, which prompted further restructuring at the airline.
In 2009, British Airways asked him to negotiate its joint venture with American Airlines. From there he became head of strategy and business planning before going on to head the carrier's commercial business in North and South America. He then took on alliances and fleet, taking on additional responsibility for the company's separate business units in Gatwick and London City Airports.
At the end of last summer, IAG asked him to take the Aer Lingus role, succeeding Stephen Kavanagh. Doyle says the offer "flattered and surprised" him.
"But the more I thought about it and the more I thought about the opportunities that Aer Lings would present, and what I could bring to it, the more excited I got. We've got a brand that reaches into the hearts and minds of guests not just in Ireland but in North America. We've got a hub in a great location. And we have the ambition to keep on growing and building on our success."
Name: Sean Doyle
Post: Chief executive, Aer Lingus

Matt Cereal Memes On 'Big Brother 19' Prove Just How Far His Cravings Go
By Zakiya Jamal
While there's always a constant thread of drama flowing throughout the Big Brother house, there are also a few funny moments. One recurring joke on this season is Matt's obsession with cereal. For whatever reason, Matt just can't get enough of the stuff, and that includes pretty much every kind of cereal out there. He loves it so much, the show even made a segment about it. Naturally, this has led to fans creating memes of Matt eating cereal on Big Brother 19, and they're pretty hilarious.
During a recent episode, Matt confessed to being a "cereal junkie," and because he knows that some people could find this "weird," he's also gotten into the habit of getting out of bed late at night and eating bowls of cereal when no one else is around. Though he said he tries to stick to the "healthier" cereals, he also admitted that's not always the case and sometimes he just can't help going for the bad stuff. (Don't worry Matt, I'm sure you're not alone in your addiction.)
Though it is a bit strange, there are certainly worse things Matt could be addicted to, it's hard to fault him. It's just pretty hilarious that this 33-year-old man with sleeves of tattoos is so obsessed with cereal that he sneaks out of bed just to get some. And Twitter is honestly eating it up.
Of course, fans have been having a field day with this. Matt now has his face on a plethora of cereal boxes, some real and some created just for Matt. For example, "Whistle-Nut Homie BrOs," could certainly be a hit if Jason and Matt team up to make it into a real thing. Some people even used the cereal boxes to throw shade at Matt and his floater status in the house.
Because Matt's so obsessed with cereal, many viewers agree that's the only thing he really cares about in the house. Some suggest he'd probably enjoy winning cereal more than money, and his relationship with cereal is more serious than his "showmance" with Raven.
Though viewers like to poke fun at Matt's obsession, it has also been very entertaining. Some even argue his love for cereal has been one of the best storylines of the season. While that may be a stretch, fans were definitely hoping Matt would actually reach his goal of eating 1,000 bowls of cereal in the Big Brother house. However, now that he's sitting on the block alongside Raven, it appears he might not make it far enough to see that come to fruition.
Still, Matt has a chance to compete for the Power of Veto, so perhaps he can save himself from the block and stay in the house long enough to finish his cereal goal.


When it comes to building websites, there are a lot of moving parts that must come together to make the finished product. As with anything, when there are multiple components the likelihood of mistakes increases.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a "build website" button, and the Bam Creative team aren't robots, so when we develop products we are prone to some human error.
The Bam Creative team as a whole are pretty fantastic, but we aren't perfect. We've made some pretty awesome stuff, but deep down we are all just messy, flawed, unorganized, chaotic humans who make mistakes sometimes. But that's okay! So is everyone else! That's why testing is such an important part of our development process.
The value of testing and iteration has been ingrained into our processes since the very beginning. We pride ourselves on delivering a high standard quality of work, and that never can be achieved on the first try. We strive to be ethical and deliver to the standard our clients expect of us, and a way to ensure that is to go through quality assurance methods such as testing.
Our testing process has been honed over the years, and is constantly evolving even to this day. We have a set of guidelines and checklists that a website must satisfy before we will launch it. Here's some of our considerations and what we test for when ensuring quality assurance.
Firstly, it's important to note that the development team rarely does the final test. It benefits to have a fresh pair of eyes looking over the work and noting any issues that may have been missed. That's why we usually get someone who wasn't involved in the project development to run through final testing. This can be helpful for identifying issues in the flow of your website, or checking if certain functionality is intuitive.
When we develop a website, we know it's functionality inside and out. Due to optimism and cognitive bias, we run through forms or user flows in ways that we know will work. When someone new checks it over, they may have a hard time figuring out how their supposed to navigate the feature and get issues that the development team had never encountered before. The tester will go through and create a list of issue and bugs that need addressing, which is submitted back to the development team for further refinement. Here are some common issues that come up in testing, and how we solve them.
As aforementioned, websites have a lot of components that come together. An example of this is websites with multiple pages. Let's say you create a page, and add a link to a second page. Somewhere along the lines your linked page title changes, so in order to maintain consistency you change the pages' URL slug as well (for good SEO practices, of course). Suddenly your original link is broken and takes your users to a confusing 404 page. Broken links like this are a very common issue that gets discovered in testing.
There are some great link checker tools available online. At Bam Creative, we use Xenu Link Checker and Integrity for Mac. These tools crawl your website for links that lead to 404 pages and produce a report for you to find and fix these broken links. Checking your links is a very easy thing to do, and can vastly improve your user's experience on your website, as well as help with search engine optimisation.
Another large portion of our testing is dedicated to ensuring that our code is validated to the W3C web standards. Generally, browsers do an okay job at rendering invalid code, but in some cases, errors can cause some serious layout problems.
No two browsers render code the same, and that goes for errors too. It's important to ensure your work is being rendered by browsers the best it can be. Having valid code is the first step towards making the browsers job easier. We use W3C Markup Validation Service to validate HTML, and W3C CSS Validation Service to validate CSS.
Cross browser and platform testing is crucial to ensuring that your users have a consistent experience on whichever device that they use. We have a number of mobile and tablet devices in the office that we test with. We also test across operating systems and major browsers including Internet Explorer, Edge, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.
Another thing we test for is accessibility. We value accessibility as a default standard because it's beneficial for everyone, not just those with impairment or disability. When creating a website, we want the most amount of people possible to be able to use it without issue regardless of their ability. Depending on the needs of the client, we usually aim to meet at least AA WCAG standards for accessibility.
An important feature of accessibility testing is ensuring that the colours used meet a minimum contrast ratio. The standard minimum contrast ratio is 7:1, and ensures that people with low visibility or colour blindness are able to distinguish foreground elements from background elements. Sometimes this can be difficult to achieve due to strict branding guidelines, which is why it's beneficial to consider accessibility at all stages of a project.
There are some great accessibility tools online, such as contrastchecker.com that allows you to input two colour and see if they meet contrast ratio standards for A, AA, and AAA WCAG. It also checks for brightness, and colour difference relevant to those with colour blindness. WAVE is another great tool for getting an idea of how well your website meets accessibility standard guidelines. It also provides advice on how to improve your site to better meet the different needs of your audience.
Having our work tested and receiving constructive criticism doesn't only improve the product in the end, but also helps us grow our skills as a team and as individuals. We bring the learnings from previous projects into new ones which helps us improve and build greater things.
Our primary goal as a company has always been to deliver the best product possible to our clients. With quality assurance measures such as testing we are able to meet that goal. We get satisfaction in producing a high quality product, and our clients can rest assured knowing that their investment was built to a high standard. We get no joy from putting sub-par work out into the world, so that is why we always test our work before launching it.

'One of the worst we have ever seen' – the heartbreaking story of the Lincoln dog left to starve and left to sit in human urine
She just never caught a break
Workers at an animal welfare charity have been left devastated after the death of a dog, who was the victim of one the 'worst cases of neglect' they have ever seen.
Jess, a 10-year-old lurcher, was rescued after the RSPCA Lincolnshire and Lincoln Mid branch received a report on July 4, from a concerned member of the public.
The animal was found to be seriously underweight, was covered in urine sores from sleeping in human urine and was too weak to be walked.
It was also discovered that she was blind and had untreated diabetes.
This is why Wetherspoons is banning all dogs from its pubs
She was taken to be cared for at a vet and stayed in kennels in Ruskington – and workers at the charity say her condition was horrendous.

"It was really was quite horrific," said Amy Farrell, a fundraising coordinator for the charity.
"Jess came from a home where she was not afforded the right care.
"She was being neglected, not being fed, wasn't being walked and after a vet saw her it was found she had diabetes that had been left untreated and she was blind.
"It is one of the most horrific and worst states of a dog this branch has seen in a long time."
She was seriously underweight (Image: RSPCA Lincolnshire Mid and Lincoln)
The initial signs were positive, with the aim to help Jess put weight on as well as giving her insulin for her diabetes in the hope of getting her healthy.
However, just as it looked like she was on the road to recovery, things took a turn for the worse on August 17 when Jess was diagnosed with cancer.
"Jess came into our care and was really poorly. We really thought if we could help her put weight on and manage the diabetes then we could help her to a point where she could be rehomed," Mrs Farrell said.
"We fell in love with her. She was such a sweet-natured dog and was always wagging her tail.
"A vet found a tumour and then it really was a whirlwind week.
"We were hopeful that if we could help her get some weight on then she could have a scan."
There was hopes Jess could make a recovery and be rehomed (Image: RSPCA Lincolnshire Mid and Lincoln)
Jess started to cough, and a trip back to the vets revealed the tumours had doubled in size and were affecting her lungs.
With the cancer spreading, a vet advised that Jess be put down – devastating those caring for her.
"As a branch we never put an animal to sleep unless a vet says it is the only option," said Mrs Farrell.
"We had all been so positive – people were asking how she was doing.
"She really was a favourite, there was no debating that.
"The fact her story ended so quickly is just heartbreaking - she really was a special girl."
Jess will be remember as a happy dog (Image: RSPCA Lincolnshire Mid and Lincoln)
Mrs Farrell's colleague, Charlotte Childs, animal welfare office manager, added: "I have been here seven years and this situation is the worst I have come across.
"She was still so trusting around humans.
"Jess was such a lovely, bright and happy dog – we all fell for her.
"You will occasionally have on in your care who is really special – and Jess was one of those.
