The latest offering from the London-based publishers, Bemojake, immediately leaps out at as an interesting object. Built into a hardcover Moleskine-esque A5 notebook (complete with internal page finder and elastic strap), Motohiko Hasui's Personal Matters is humble in its ambitions as part-diary and part musing on modernity within a Japanese metropolis. The form follows function perfectly and ties in well with the loose aesthetic of the date-stamped photos. You really can imagine throwing it into a bag and taking it on your travels – with no need to worry about it getting damaged. Within the images, man-made urban utopias contrast with a scattering of rural idylls and where the concrete does prevail, nature creeps in through gaps in fences and peers in over the tops of walls. Flashes of Western consumerism echo throughout – a Chanel tattoo on a woman's calf, a homogeneously decorated Christmas tree and the rear lights of a dubiously parked sports car. The pairings and pacing elevate interesting single shots into a body of work that begins to ask deeper questions of the viewer, whilst also giving a sufficient sense of the photographer's own dislocation, rattling around between his "Western ideals and Japanese heritage".

Soap Vet Cady McClain's Horrible Experience On The Young And The Restless

Daytime television star Cady McClain has become synonymous with the soap opera genre thanks to her long and extensive career in the industry. She started off playing Dixie Cooney on "All My Children" before taking on the role of Rosanna Cabot on "As The World Turns," per IMDb. Despite winning an Emmy for her role on "All My Children" at age 21, McClain knew early on that the daytime television industry was definitely a fickle one. In other words, one day you're in, and the next day you can be out regardless of who you are or how big your role may be. She told Soap Central in an interview back in 2009, "No one actor can make or break a show. I don't think so. I do think that if All My Children lost Susan Lucci, that might be an exception to the rule, but maybe not — you never know. Actors know that we're always expendable. We're wallpaper. Nobody's too big to be fired. It's just not the way it is."
And while McClain has certainly seen plenty of good times and bad during the course of her career, she says that her experience on "The Young and the Restless" is one that she'll never forget and maybe for not the right reasons, too. That's not to say she was pushed out, but she might have been left out on some things, that's for sure.
Cady McClain Didn't Like The Atmosphere In Genoa City

While on Soap Opera Digest's podcast, Cady McClain hinted that the time she spent working on the set of "The Young and the Restless" was perhaps not her most memorable daytime television experience. While she didn't want to go into too many details, McClain did hint that the set of the hit CBS soap wasn't her favorite mostly because it had the kind of atmosphere that she didn't expect. She said, "Y&R, I did not find to be a very funny set. I found it to be pretty... Gosh, you know, it's hard to talk about Y&R, that experience" (via Soaps.com).
With that said though, McClain did say in an interview with TV Guide Magazine back in 2014 that she was super excited about joining the cast of "The Young and the Restless" before she started working on the show. She said at the time, "It's the most amazing thing. Y&R had its 41st anniversary a couple of weeks ago with the big press party and the cake-cutting and a lot of celebration — something I never thought I would experience again. [Laughs] I thought the party was over for me!"
And while no one really knows what happened between all that partying and what McClain experienced later on, that didn't stop her from continuing her daytime television career at yet another soap.
Cady McClain Says Working On Days Of Our Lives Has Been A Positive Experience

Cady McClain surprised daytime television fans when it was announced back in 2020 that she would be joining the cast of "Days of Our Lives." She took over as the new Jennifer Horton Deveraux from Melissa Reeves. And unlike the experience she had while on "The Young and the Restless," McClain hasn't had anything bad or negative to say about working in Salem. McClain told Soap Opera Digest that same year that when she first stepped onto the set, it was like night and day compared to "The Young and the Restless." She said, "I laughed when I got on set. I laughed so hard. They were just so funny and so great and so warm and so kind. It was just one of the best days. What a blessing to work. What a blessing to be on set. What a blessing to be working with people that are fun to work with. I'll never forget it. It was fantastic."
Perhaps McClain just didn't get a chance to experience things like Jack Abbott's (Peter Bergman) fun side or hear about "The Young and the Restless" stars' dressing room secrets while she was still there. That, and "Y&R" stars Michelle Stafford and Amelia Heinle did have some fun embarrassing their daughters when they did TikTok moves on Instagram. Surely, there has to be some laughter on the set when you are doing things like that, right?

Fritz Endres (* 15. Oktober 1877 in Ebenhausen, Unterfranken; † 2. Mai 1963 in München) war ein deutscher Politiker (SPD).

Leben und Wirken
Nach dem Besuch der Volksschule in Würzburg in den Jahren 1884 bis 1891 durchlief Endres bis 1894 eine Kupferschmiedelehre in Würzburg. Danach arbeitete er unter anderem zehn Jahre lang als Kupferschmied in der Eisenbahn-Betriebswerkstätte in Würzburg. 1900 heiratete er.

Nachdem Endres bereits um 1895 in die Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD) eingetreten war, amtierte er von 1908 bis 1927 als Sekretär des SPD-Bezirks Franken. Von Februar 1911 bis Oktober 1918 war er zudem Arbeitersekretär des Kartells der freien Gewerkschaften in Würzburg. Anschließend übernahm er die Stelle des Geschäftsführers der Verwaltungsstellte Würzburg des Deutschen Metallarbeiterverbandes. Später war er Mitglied im Einheitsverband der Eisenbahner Deutschlands (EdED), für den er mehrere Funktionen übernahm. Seit 1911 war Endres außerdem Mitglied des Gemeindekollegiums und des Armenrates der Stadt Würzburg.

Von 1912 bis 1918 und von 1920 bis 1933 saß Endres als Abgeordneter in der bayerischen Abgeordnetenkammer.

Von 1914 bis 1918 war er Soldat im Ersten Weltkrieg.

Nach dem, auch von Endres gegen die offizielle Linie der bayerischen Sozialdemokratie am 2. November 1918 in Würzburg bei einer Volksversammlung im Huttenschen Garten geforderten, Zusammenbruch der Monarchie in Deutschland am 7. November 1918 übernahm Endres, nachdem er aus München zurückgekehrt war, den Vorsitz des maßgeblich von der Mehrheitssozialdemokratie (MSPD) getragenen Arbeiter- und Soldatenrates von Würzburg. Am 15. Dezember 1918 wurde er von der Regierung Eisner als Vertreter der provisorischen bayerischen Regierung zum Generalkommando des II. Armeekorps in Würzburg entsandt. Anschließend war er von Januar 1919 bis Juni 1920 Abgeordneter für den Wahlkreis 26 (Franken) in der Weimarer Nationalversammlung.

Im März 1919 wurde Endres vom bayerischen Rätekongress zum Justizminister ernannt. Im Mai desselben Jahres wechselte er ins Innenministerium, das er bis zum März 1920 führte. Danach beschränkte er sich auf seine Tätigkeit als Landtagsabgeordneter sowie als Funktionär seiner Partei in Franken.

Endres war ferner Vorsitzender des sozialdemokratischen Vereins- und Gewerkschaftskartells in Würzburg und Vorstandsmitglied der Allgemeinen Ortskrankenkasse Würzburg Stadt sowie des Konsumvereins Würzburg. Publizistisch tat er sich als Autor verschiedener Abhandlungen über Themen der Sozialversicherung und des Arbeiterrechts, der Kriegsbeschädigten und der Hinterbliebenenfürsorge hervor.

Nach der Machtergreifung durch die Nationalsozialisten stand Endres als potentieller politischer Gegner unter Beobachtung der NS-Sicherheitsbehörden. Vom 30. Juni 1933 bis circa August gleichen Jahres und vom 23. August bis 2. September 1944 (Aktion Gewitter) wurde Endres von den Nationalsozialisten in "Schutzhaft" genommen und im Konzentrationslager Dachau gefangen gehalten.

Endres fand seine letzte Ruhestätte auf dem Sendlinger Friedhof.

Ehrungen, Auszeichnungen
 Am 15. Dezember 1959 wurde ihm der Bayerische Verdienstorden verliehen.
 In München ist die Fritz-Endres-Straße nach ihm benannt.

The Non-Toxic Farming Handbook: Foliar Feeding
Welcome to Book of the Week – a weekly feature of an Acres U.S.A. published title offering you a glimpse between the pages! Get the Book of the Week email newsletter delivered directly to your inbox! This week's feature is The Non-Toxic Farming Handbook, by Philip Wheeler and Ronald Ward.
What Is Foliar Feeding?
Foliar feeding is a highly efficient method of providing needed nutrients to crops. Research conducted by Dr. Silvan Witwer, Michigan State University, in cooperation with the Atomic Energy Commission in the 1940s, found plants to utilize foliar-fed nutrients anywhere from eight to twenty times more efficiently than those applied to the soil. Their research concluded that trees benefitted from and absorbed foliar fed nutrients even during mid-winter months.
Foliar fed fertilizers seem to bypass problems associated with root absorption, such as nutrient competition, nutrient tie-ups, leaching and soil interactions. Foliar uptake requires the same light, temperature and oxygen variables as does root uptake. It may have a significant effect on lower CEC soils. The mobility of different nutrients once in the leaf varies widely. Whereas all nutrients are initially absorbed extremely rapidly, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, copper, manganese and zinc are readily translocated. Calcium, boron, iron, magnesium and molybdenum tend to remain in the leaf after they are absorbed and have little tendency to translocate.
Foliar feeding works best in cooperation with a good soil fertility program. Without the proper soil fertility base to begin with, foliar spraying can have very mixed results. Good sucess could be obtained in certain instances where the right nutrients were sprayed at the right time for the growing plant, yet these would be exceptions to the rule One would expect to see minimal positive results if good fertility programs are not followed. Foliar feeding is not as efficient when it is used as a rescue procedure.
Foliar feeing is intended to strengthen basic fertility (energy) programs. It is used to help swing the plant from growth to fruiting, to alleviate a stressful situation, to counter leaching brought about from steady rains, to give an added push, and to keep the plant's energy at optimal levels.
How To Foliar Feed
Foliar feeding can be done using a typical boom sprayer with 10-20-gallon nozzles. If possible, it is best to use nozzles which will produce a mist or fog. Plants feed mainly from the underside of leaves through openings called stomata. The plant leaf hairs surrounding the stomata will attract nutrients within fine water droplets. It is possible to purchase nozzles which produce a cone-shaped spray pattern and which also spin the spray upon leaving the nozzle. These have been found to be highly effective.
A new generation of mist sprayers is available which will produce a spray mist and blow it 40 or more feet across the field. Thse sprayers are actually the most cost effective to use because, contrary to logic, the finer the water droplet coming from the sprayer, the more dilute the spray solution can be and still accomplish the feeding task. Mist blowers will work effectively using only one-third or less the amount of fertilizer needed for field or boom sprayers.
Vegetables and orchard growers have long used foliar spraying, however, the major purpose has been to apply chemicals. It's not unusual for these sprays to be used every one to two weeks. Although most farmers spray toxic chemicals for blight, fungus or insect control, it is obvious that supplementing these toxic sprays with a good nutritional "diet" could be very effective. In fact, many farmers now know that periodic nutritional foliar sprays can not only save a crop but can also make a crop.
When grain is in its early development, for example, it is possible to slice open the growing stem and see, through a ten-power lens, the grains of oats or wheat developing on a head. Prior to their development, a fruiting foliar spray could result in a larger number of seeds being set. After this critical development period has passed, it is no longer possible to influence seed head development in terms of a larger head formation. Now it is only possible to influence how large the seeds will form and how heavy (test weight) they will be. Once the head has formed, foliar sprays will definitely assist in producing larger, heavier grains.
Wheat growers in the Lake Palouse area of Washington have grown 200 bushels of wheat using good fertility and foliar spraying. Their wheat is so good that the farmer can slice a kernel from top to bottom, dividing it in half, and grow two plants from the now split seed.

Stealth creation of refugee camps is the new EU way of forcing cities to accept thousands of migrants with possible jihadist background. Information – such as every day threats of annihilation by Palestinian leaders and bloody terror attacks – don't get in the way of their pro-Arab, anti-Jewish ideology. The intellectual progeny of those anti-Zionist and leftist intellectuals' stubbornly cling to anti-notions ridiculously detached from history and from the perilous reality of every day life in Israel.

Megyn attended Syracuse University where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science. Following school she worked as a corporate litigator and then as a basic assignment reporter for ABC News affiliate WJLA-Tv in Washington. A trooper to the very finish, FOX News anchor Megyn Kelly delivered a wholesome child boy Friday morning – one day after delivering the news as cohost of America's Newsroom. Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly has turn into a mother for the second time with the birth of a bouncing infant girl this morning.
The very first time I saw Megyn reporting the news from Washington, D.C. I knew I was seeking at a very unique lady. In reply to JIM S. It's so refreshing to see a reporter and news channel like Mygen Kelly and Fox news. With so several out correct lies from the other news channels(hint hint CNN,msnbc) They could understand a lot from you all at Fox News. As evil as she is she is not alone, there are many at the Transylvania of news fox.
She faints being compassionate but then as soon as her obligatory outrage is completed its on to the genuine agenda and attack those who would point the finger at the merchants of hate like Limbaugh and Fox news. Fox news is the new headquarters for propaganda and hate, Not only are the listeners of this propaganda shown to be the most uninformed of any group but they are the new hate merchants who have their roots in the old Nazi propaganda empire of Goebbels. This lady (who is also a Fox News contributor) is a refreshing break from the typical Democratic speaking-points contributors like Alan Colmes and Kirsten Powers.
Megyn Kelly is the most awesome incredible talented and educated news anchore i've ever seen she's cute has a lovely voice and considering that of humor i only want i could have met ms. Kelly a while back so i could be her husband so i could take care of she deserves a very good man to take care of her.

While building troikagame.com I wanted to find ways to save myself a ton of work. The game is available both as Apps (iOS and Android) as well as a web application so people can play on other platforms easily. So we used the Ionic framework. Since it's all web based, the core of the game is the same on the web as it is in the apps. The game is also multiplayer (via websockets) so that the different platforms can play against each other.
One of the challenges is that there is a computer player that you can play against in single player and multiplayer. Single player AI runs locally on the device/web page and multiplayer AI runs on a server. I didn't want to write the code twice so I really wanted a common language between the two.

A new season means a new set of outfit requirements, which, for some, can actually turn out to be quite an adjustment. After months of relying on easy summer dresses, tank tops, loose, lightweight linen, and skin-baring sandals, altering your thought process when piecing together a fall (or winter) look can be tricky. The cold-weather season calls for pieces rendered in heavier fabrics like wool, cashmere, denim, and cotton; of course, layering is another essential. That being said, it can be easy to feel as though you're losing your signature style under layers upon layers of clothing. Enter: 15 edgy winter outfits ideas that are as cool and expressive as they seem cozy, practical, and cold-weather ready.
Whether it's grounding a wintertime look with the ultimate edgy shoes (a pair of buckled and studded ankle boots) or sporting head-to-toe leather (it doesn't get edgier than that), these are the edgy winter outfits you can turn to (and emulate) the next time you're in a styling rut.
A pair of buckled boots takes any outfit into edgier territory in an instant.
All black is edgy and chic. Plus, knee-high leather boots are just too cool to pass up.
Cool layers—like a checked blouse over a black turtleneck and a black puffer jacket—make for a practical yet edgy winter outfit.
Throw a statement chain belt over a pair of leather trousers for ultimate edginess.
A transparent trench is perfect for showing off all the elements in your edgy winter outfit.
Who would have thought layering a tulle skirt over jeans would look so edgy? But alas, it does, and we're following suit.
Amp up the coolness of a two-piece suit set by grounding the look with chunky leather boots.
Anything rendered in leather and leopard print is instantly cool.
Throw a leather jacket over a utilitarian jumpsuit to dress up the more casual piece.
A metallic top is a must-have in your winter rotation.
Velvet trousers are warm and cool, offering up just the right amount of edge when paired with a fun top.
Go big or go home, right? Throw a super-oversize faux-fur coat over a poppy-hued dress for an edgy winter outfit.
Style tip: Wear your belt bag over your patent leather coat.
Head-to-toe leather—need we say more?
This is a look that's edgy and warm.

The fastest route to achievement is to study others who have done something similar to what you want to do.
The Olympics in Rio are a source of this study. You don't have to look very deep to witness some of the best lessons on the most strenuous discipline of all, self-discipline.
The Olympics Offer Unparalleled Learning and Inspiration.
Here are just a few highlights I have distilled to help us all kick off a week of achievement.
Michael Phelps won 5 Gold Medals in Rio and is the most decorated Olympian but his life is not without adversity. Phelps hit rock bottom in 2014, he looked in the mirror and had the "talk." And……..
For the first time in his career he is now giving 100% to his training. Phelps said, I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and you put the work and time into it. I think your mind really controls everything.
Anthony Ervin won a Gold Medal for the U.S., swimming the free style as the oldest member of the swim team. He has battled Tourette's since childhood and had the most grueling journey to Gold at age 35.
Katie Ledecky won 4 Gold Medals swimming in Rio. She hasn't suffered much adversity but at only 19 she was under enormous pressure as she postponed college for competing.
She said, Don't practice until you get it right practice until you can't get it wrong.
Mo Farah fell during the 10,000 meter run in Rio only to immediately get up and run to win Gold. He said, Don't dream of winning train for it!
Watching the race it was as though Mo Farah specifically trained for his reaction to falling.
The fastest woman in the world, Elaine Thompson won Gold in the 100-meter run with a time of 10.71 seconds. Her reaction says it all. See it here.
Delayed gratification, transcending adversity, winning in spite of the past, surpassing perceived limitations of age, injury or fear are what the Olympics are all about. Actually it's what success in life is all about.
Do the work others will not do and achieve what others can't.


Tension headaches, now referred to as tension-type headaches are the most common types of primary headaches. Individuals who experience this headache get pain radiating from the neck, eyes, and the lower back of the head among other groups of muscles in the body. About 90% of all headaches are tension-type headaches. About 1.4 billion people in the word, which accounts for 20.8% of the population, are affected by tension headaches. This type of headache is more common in women than in men.
Tension-type headache is often described as being a constant pressure resembling a feeling of the head being squeezed using a vise. The individual experiences pain on both sides of the head and this can be moderate and in some cases, severe.
Tension-type headaches can either be episodic or chronic. Episodic tension headaches are those that will occur fewer than 15 days in a month while chronic occur more than 15 days in a month for a period not less than 6 months. A tension-type headache can last for a few minutes, a day, a month and sometimes years with the typical tension headache lasting for 4 to 6 hours.
There are a number of precipitating factors that might lead to tension-type headaches in susceptible people.
Stress: this is mostly in the afternoon after stressful work hours or an exam.
About 50%of patients with tension headaches have identified hunger or stress as the precipitating factor. In some patients, the headaches might be caused by muscle tension around the neck and head. There is a theory that places teeth clenching as a main cause of tension-type headache and migraine. Teeth clenching can cause chronic temporalis muscle contraction which will lead to a headache.
There is another theory that places malfunctioning pain filter situated in the brain stem as a probable cause of tension headaches. The view in this theory is that of misinterpreted messages from areas such as the temporal muscles and other muscles. The message is interpreted as pain and this is what leads to the headache. Serotonin is one of the neural transmitters that are involved in this misinterpretation. This theory is backed up by the fact that antidepressants such as amitriptyline can be used in the successful treatment of tension-type headaches.
An individual with a tension-type headache has increased skin and muscle pain sensitivity demonstrated by the low mechanical thermal pain and electrical pain thresholds. The nociceptive neurons' hyperexcitability is believed to be a key aspect in chronic tension-type headache pathophysiology. There is generalized increased hyperalgesia or increased pain sensitivity in chronic tension-type headaches and this suggests that the central nervous system pain processing in this disorder is abnormal. It is also evident that a dysfunction of pain inhibitory systems might be involved in chronic tension-type headaches.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors commonly referred as SSRIs are used in prevention but tricyclic depressants have been found to be more effective though they have more and greater side effects. To date, there is no sufficient evidence of the successful use of muscle relaxants and propranolol in tension headaches prevention.
Episodic tension headaches have been found to respond well to analgesics like aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen/paracetamol. Sedative and analgesic combinations are widely used in dealing with tension-type headaches. It is important to note that frequent use or abuse of analgesics might lead to more problems such as medication overuse headache.
When all treatment options have failed and the pain experienced is intolerable, barbiturate medication such as fiorinal and fioricet can be used but as drugs of last resort prescription. For this reason, the medications are written as single doses or a dose for a day or two, once after every six hours until the pain ceases. There are cases where the doses are larger but this is highly discouraged due to the probability and the potential of abuse and due to the high toxicity level of this barbiturate drugs. Botulinium is a drug trialled by some people though the results have varied for tension-type headaches.
Acupuncture is listed in the alternative therapies used in the treatment of tension-type headaches and has been found to be useful especially where the tension headache is chronic or frequent.
Individuals with tension-type headaches might opt to use myofascial trigger point treatment, soft tissue therapy and spinal manipulation as treatment. A review found weak evidence of chiropractic manipulation effectiveness in the treatment of tension-type headaches. The review also found that this kind of treatment was more effective for tension headache than it was for migraines. Spinal manipulation has been found to be effective for both tension headache and migraine. The same review found that neck exercise combined with spinal manipulation can be effective in dealing with cervicogenic headaches. There have been different reviews targeting the use of manual therapy and though some people report effectiveness of some methods, there are no conclusive reports on the success of manual therapies in the treatment of tension-type headaches.
Tension-type headaches that are not as a result of another symptom might be painful but they are harmless. People suffering from these types of tension headaches can get relief through successful treatment methods. When the tension headache is as a result of an underlying condition it can be treated once the condition has been dealt with. It is important that patients use the medication under the directions of a qualified physician because frequent use of abuse of pain medications can lead to medication overuse headache or what is referred to as rebound headache.
Despite the fact that tension-type headaches are benign in character, the chronic form can lead to significant disability on the individuals with this disease as well as lead to a burden in the society in general. It is highly recommended that anyone with recurrent headaches seeks medical attention for further tests and diagnosis.

Q: How to archive least used data? Environment: JSF2, persistence with Hibernate, MySQL
I have a database that is rappidly filling because of a table with image data. That data is never searched but only directly accessed by id. Problem is that it stays in the database and so enlarges the backups and the runtime memory usage of the database.
I'm thinking that there could possibly be multiple solutions:

*

*Tell MySQL that the table should not be cached and/or kept in memory.

*Don't use MySQL at all for that table. Just let persistence know that this should be stored on disk directly.

*???

But I haven't found a way to do either. Please advice.
Thanks,
Milo van der Zee

A: Storage type depends on storage engine in MySQL. Only tables having MEMORY storage engine are stored in RAM others are stored on disk.
In select queries you can use SELECT SQL_NO_CACHE to tell MySQL not to cache query data in MySQL query cache.
You can partition the table by defining partitions on table. This will make inserts and selects faster.
You can also create day wise tables like table_name_2012_07_20 and archive tables with old dates and to store data in compress format you can either use Archive storage engine or if you are using MyIsam storage engine then do myisamchk or myisampack to save disk space on the hard drive.

How do you feel when you got a useful blog to resolve something, but it's loading slow.
Definitely, you will leave that website within seconds because you may get your desired matter from some other sources too, then why you will waste your time to stick on that sluggish blog.
Exactly, this is the same feeling of users when they land on your sluggish blog.
It means your visitor is not satisfied with loading time of your blog.
People love those sites whose Page speed is optimized well.
Website loading time matters a lot, it directly impacts on your website ranking and conversion.
In this article, I'll cover the importance of loading time of you site as well as website speed optimization tips to improve your blog to load under 1-2 seconds.
Research says, 47% of people expect a web page to load in two seconds or less. Now think about this. It's near about 50% people who don't like slow loading of any website including me and you. So if you do it for your users then in return users will also love your site.
Basically, google crawlers are trying to serve the best content including page loading time. The main motto of Google is to serve accurate and quick results to the user queries. Means, if there are more than one site which are serving approximately same things, then the site which will load fastly chances of that site is rank well than another slower one.
So Google places sites in SERP, which have fast loading.
As you know, mobile users are increasing day by day and loading time is very important on mobile devices because most of the mobile users facing slow internet connection. Sometimes even if they have a good connection but they are in the habit of low patience.
So in the case of mobile users' your blog loading time is precious.
In the case of larger sites like Amazon, Walmart, etc. Even a decrease in one-second page load time results in loss of millions of rupees and buyers. You can feel it yourself also if you are running an affiliate site or product selling site.
If you follow the instructions of these tools to optimize your blog's speed, definitely you'll get results.
Now you know the importance of site loading results.
But what if your website is loading slower than 3 seconds?
My blogs were also loading slower than my competitors and one day I decided to make it load faster. So I googled all possible ways to improve load time of my sites and some of them were working very fine for me.
And here I don't want to bother you to write the useless things to wreck your time.
I'm just trying to write here only those things which worked for me and hoping it may work for you also.
First of all, by using website speed analysis tools, save the screenshot of your site to compare it after applying these below tips.
If you are planning to start a new site with high speed optimized then you must have these things. These tips are also useful while you are running a site and want to optimize for speed.
Always try to use paid themes because these themes are highly optimized for SEO. And speed optimized theme is the part of SEO. Do not use any heavy theme. This blog is running on Genesis Child theme. Genesis is the one of the best frame.
No doubt, plugins are very beneficial for all WordPress users. But what will be the result if we addicted of using more and more plugins?
You may face slow loading of your site. So always select useful and trusted plugins. Remove unuseful plugins and disable those plugins which do not need to active all times like wp optimizer.
Hosting matters a lot. So always choose your hosting wisely. This blog is hosted on Digital Ocean and you can check the review of digital ocean on any network. You may also check the speed of this blog. I have faced bad server experience previously.
Decrease the size of the images using smush it plugin. You may also try lazy load wp plugin, which loads images only when a user scrolls down.
Actually, images are the only things which matter for slow speed in the articles. Sometimes we have to use more than one-two images to justify our content to the readers. So always try to upload correct size of images.
This is a very common reason to slow loading of your site. Try to maintain your site size within 1 MB.
These two things also reduce the loading time of your blog so it's better to turn off.
It's always better choice to use a cache plugin W3 Total Cache to optimize your site to load smoothly.
Now come to the important part of this post. Here I'm going to suggest you what are other necessary things which make your website load faster.
While your cache plugin is working hard to do your task easier. But still you need to do something at your end.
First check your site through GTmetrix and look what this tool is suggesting you in red mark grades.
As you saw in these above screenshots, I'm going here to explain how to get A grades.
This only applies if a user already has a version of your web page stored in their cache, so it will only speed up your site for users who have already visited your website.
It reduces the number of HTTP request again and again for a user who landed more than one time on your site.
Simply add this below code in your htaccess file to reduce the leverage browser caching.
If your page is large (100KB or more) then that page may load slow. At that stage, you need to use the compression technique to serve better without taking much loading time. For doing this task, Gzip comes. Gzip compress your files into a zip file and that user's browser opened that zip file into their browsers.
Gzip reduces the bandwidth of your pages. Read this article about Gzip compression to get more.
You can check whether Gzip compression is working on your site or not by using Gziptest.com.
Whenever we install any plugin, CSS and JS files added virtually on each time.
WordPress users may use WP Minify plugin to minimize the CSS and JS files.
It is also helpful to save bandwidth. HTTP Keep Alive refers to the message that's sent between the client machine and the web server asking for permission to download a file. If you enable it, means you allowed to download various files without asking for permission each time.
Not weekly but on the monthly basis, I like to optimize my database files. It depends upon your log activity which affect your SQL files. So do remember to clean your database, you may try WP Optimize plugin.
Broken links are not only dangerous for your vistors point it also responsible for drainage of your bandwidth. So you must try to fix them all to get better user experience.
Redirects create additional HTTP requests and increase load time. So try to remove unnecessary redirects.
Nowadays, most of the sites are responsive it means we are sending mobile visitors to mobile version of your site. To understand it correctly you can check the post on VerveSearch.
We pay particular attention to our homepage. But the truth is 80% of our traffic come from 20% of our pages. So we should optimize like a ninja to those pages to maintain SERP.
Remove unwanted sliders, heavy images and identify those factors which causes slow speed and remove them.
Making your home page and other high traffic pages faster will improve the speed for 80% of your visitors.
This is last but not least for this article. If your blog is still facing slow speed or want to improve more then use a CDN, you'll definitely get the positive result, trust me.
CDNs work by hosting your files across a large network of servers around the World. When a user from Canada access your site it delivers the content from the nearly located server.
It also protects your sites from DDoS attacks and traffic spikes.
You may choose Maxcdn which is best and if you are beginner then may try Cloudflare, it has free and premium both plans.
Now check your site again through GTmetrix and compare with the previously saved screenshot. Hoping you have got the better ranking than before.
I think if you are really serious about website speed optimization of your site under 1-2 seconds then it's not a tough job now if you apply all the described tips above. But you must follow basic tips like themes, hosting and others, these all are root.
Simply, put your URL in any speed checker tool and follow the suggestions. You'll see the changes in few minutes.
As I told you, it is highly recommended to speed up your site to get SERP. Search engine's crawlers work for visitors, if visitor is not happy then crawlers will not happy with your site. Every single point is matters a lot for SEO. So don't ignore it make your site loading fast, now.
Really one of the best informative and suggestive article for me, you know..I am so happy 🙂 to read your article, because I found many powerful and new things related to website. I am very interesting about web designing and taking more knowledge about website design.
I was really unknown before, about the boosting the speed of website. This article really great beneficial for me. Please help me more, related to web stuff. For this kind I'll be grateful to you sir..
You have mentioned above three speed test tools are really much interesting and beneficial. You know, this tools are really much appreciative. I am very kind of these tools.
Deep description for making website faster was important for me. And I was trying to search this through the Internet. But finally I have got it here, through you. Sir you are brilliant. Applying your above technique, we can really make our website faster and smoother.
Thanks Ravi for your gratefulness. Glad to know that it helped you.

Just a little add-on. I'm talking about wizzards.
The same at application level.
It's an interesting idea. The user would build the environment from ground-up to suit his or her needs. Unfortunately, it wouldn't work.
What you are suggesting would mean that it would take the user HOURS just to be able to use the environment! With all the clutter KDE has right now, the user can still use it.
If the user is overwhelmed now, imagine how overwhelmen they would be with this system! First boot: "Huh? How many menu-entries? What kind of Kmenu? Icons or not? what apps to display? Kicker or no Kicker? What's a Kicker?... There, now I can use the desktop. Let's try email.... Argh, same questions again! How many menu-entries, toolbars or no toolbars, what icons in the toolbar...."
What I would like to see is bare minimium of enabled features and UI-elements. As little as possible, but enough for the UI and the apps to be usable. The user could then enable more elements and features as he sees fit. This way we would have streamlined UI that is suitable for novices. More advanced users (and novices as they progress) could then enable additional functionality.
That would basically mean that the environment grows as the skills and abilities of the user grows. You have a foundation, and you build up from there as you see fit. Right now in KDE, you have everything turned on and with all the options visible. The user has to trim down the environment in order for it to suit his needs.
Reduce configuration options per view!
On my home PC I use KDE with resolution of 800x600. Some apps and configuration dialogs are fine, but some - a pain in da *. IE. panel configuration dialog doesn't fit on 800x600 screen - I cannot see "OK" button. I always need to configure panel using ControlCenter. And so on.
Such problems in configuration dialogs can be reduced if amount of configuration options per view (tab) is reduced. If I open configuration tab with lots of options, Im too lazy to check all of them - so I probably will miss some good configuration feature.
PS. Sorre for my ENG.
Re: Reduce configuration options per view!
If you come across dialogs that don't scale to 800x600, please report them as bugs using the proper way (bugs.kde.org).
That you don't check the many configuration options available is in my view your own problem. Less options per tab results in more tabs if the current congurability is to be maintained (which IMHO, it should). Would you check more tabs?
I also understand that we need lots of configuration options but the question is - how to make it user (lamer) frendly. If tab content can be guessed by its name, users will look inside it. It is always possible to add advanced tab or button so g33ks will feel comfortable too.
Not checking all options and not reading long texts is not mine problem only. Think about Joe AverageUser. How many times he reads a bit more than 2 - 3 sentences, if he isn't intrested in it? 5 to 8 optins per tab IMHO are OK, but not more.
Won't fix the usability issue, but will allow you to use the panel.
One thing should be clear, I hope: something needs to be done to Konqueror. There are _so_ many things that seem odd to both beginners and experienced users. I didn't even use Konqueror until a few months ago, as it did and still does look a like a developer's version which has no usability thinking applied.
- Location and Go? Aren't those about the same thing, the location we are currently or are changing to?
- View and Window? And shouldn't options for tabs be in the same menu as options for (new) windows?
- Location, Go, and Bookmarks? Perhaps Go and Bookmarks together, Location having the Tabs options from Window menu?
- Edit and Tools? Could these be combined? And "copy files.." and "move files.." moved to the tools submenu from the currently too long edit menu.
Of course, at the same time, each menu's entries should be reconsidered/ordered. And there are too many icons like has been pointed out.
Maybe there are just too many flaws in Konqueror right now, that people are scared to think how the UI should be redone? People are scared to remove all those icons which just clutter the UI, because they think that the few people who have learned them (though they could be similarly or better productive by other shortcut methods) would yell if they were removed?
Please try the "SimpleBrowser" profile of konqy (which comes with 3.3). What do you think ?
Well, I didn't notice anything different, apart from that it closed all my tabs. And that's not + for usability.
The only problem I see is the file browsing profile. It has maybe few too many buttons to understand if you can't read. Really, at first I also thought Konqueror was too bloated, but then I started to read what the different widgets said. It took me about 30 seconds to learn the system, and now it's not too complicated for me at all. In fact, in my opinion it's quite smart.
I have only one real complaiment: some options and features can be accessed through too many places. That's what makes the system really bloated. One feature, one button. That's the way it should be.
> I didn't notice anything different, apart from that it closed all my tabs. And that's not + for usability.
KDE 3.3 asks you if you really want to load another profile if you have tabs open.
I noticed that now, but apart from that how does the "Simple browser" differ from the default browser profile?
Try starting konqy directly with this profile e.g. from the kicker button.
It gets rid of two menus ("Go" and "Window"), it merges the main and the location toolbar and reduces the number of toolbar icons and menu itmes significantly.
Wow! That's what I wouldn't call simple but smart, because you can gain access to those stupid widgets anyway. With few improvements this should be set as default!
3) Make the cursor blink more slowly and be more evident... Make sure the cursor doesn't temporarily vanish as people are typing passwords, usernames, etc. That's _very_ annoying.
5) Make icons "light up" when mouse is over them (RedHat does that, somewhat).
6) Make icons bigger/higher resolution in the menu that appears when "Alt-Tab" is pressed.
7) Employ window transparency (which is now possible with the latest version of X.org) when showing the "Alt-Tab" menu.
8) When prompting for usernames and passwords, make the "OK" button shine blue when the user is eligible to press it (eg. when the user has typep something in both the username and password fields).
9) Make LAN accessible by default through konqueror. I've used several boxes with KDE, but could never browse the LAN.
10) Don't use things like smbfs:// or file:/ when browsing in Konqueror. Most users don't care if the other computer they connect to is Samba, AppleTalk, Novell, etc. All they want to be bothered with is a plaintext computer name, their username on that computer, and their password.
11) Include a GUI for resizing partitions, especially NTFS. This should be pretty simple, now that YaST has been GPL'ed.
12) Make fonts better by default. I've used KDE on Gentoo and Debian, and for some reason the fonts on the window titles seem very rudimentary, ragged. Fonts also look that way on the KDE splash screen (as in "Initializing peripherals") and in the help dialogs. Strangely enough, the fonts on the KDE 3.3 screenshots from the KDE homepage look great... Maybe I just don't know how to setup fonts properly, but if I can't do that, many other users can't either.
13) Make the 4-desktop preview at the bottom alot bigger by default, and allow apps. to put their icon in the miniature window. Gnome on Redhat 9 does that very well - for example, galeon shows their foot logo in the miniature window when it is open in a desktop.
The guys working on KDE do a incredible job, and it is fantastic that they've achieved so much. Now all that needs to be done is these and perhaps other minor tweaks before KDE becomes the best darn desktop (free or proprietary) out there!

Since the late 1970s it has been possible to provide incipient fire detection in an ever-more diverse range of applications. Generally speaking, this has provided a high degree of protection for the entire area, but with very little ability to pinpoint incident location. For the first time it now becomes a realistic proposition to apply dedicated detection for areas which may have been borderline decisions for Incipient Detection technology in the past, or for small rooms and critical value equipment.
Stratos-Micra compliments both conventional detectors and other aspirating detectors such as the Stratos-HSSD system.
Stratos-Micra (and Stratos-HSSD) are easily the most sensitive smoke detectors available. Furthermore, when such a detector is applied to small volume enclosures or areas, the effective sensitivity of the system becomes proportionately greater. The benefit is the very earliest warning possible in the detection area.
In common with all AirSense Technology detection products, Stratos-Micra employs our sophisticated and Queen's Award winning Artificial Intelligence system; ClassiFire. This system controls all aspects of the detector sensitivity setting and automatic day/night switching. ClassiFire not only makes commissioning supremely simple and effective, it also allows the system to 'condition' itself to suit the environment in which it is applied on a day-by-day basis, providing unwavering protection.
At a diminutive 135 x 175 x 80mm @ 1Kg, Stratos-Micra is by far the smallest dedicated aspirating detector yet produced.
Stratos-Micra employs dust filtration and Laser Dust Discrimination LDD™ as a standard feature. This makes the system suitable for a wide range of environments, including; paper/ flour mills, generator areas, telecoms areas, furnace rooms, computer environments etc.

It is our intent at Huncote Primary School to provide all of our children with a high-quality education in Languages, which develops their love of learning about other languages and cultures. The language taught at Huncote Primary school is French. It is our intention to ensure that by the end of our children's primary education, they have acquired an understanding of both spoken and written French, confidence to speak in French with others and know how important other languages can be in their future.
Curriculum Implementation
Children have weekly lessons in French throughout Key Stage 2, using the Rigolo programme of study in addition to other resources. Areas covered include: numbers, colours, house and home, in town, food and drink, the classroom, clothes, transport, sport and hobbies.
Children are encouraged and supported to develop their speaking and listening skills through conversational work, singing activities and games. As confidence and skill grows, children record their work through pictures, captions and sentences.
displays are used to remind children of key vocabulary
practical activities, songs and games are used to help improve memory and recall.
Visual prompts are used to support children in translating new vocabulary.
Our children will be able to read, understand, write and express themselves in French – at an appropriate level – using accurate vocabulary and intonation in the French language. Our children will leave Huncote Primary school with a solid foundation upon which to build future skills and knowledge and will be well prepared for the next stage of their language education.
The Rigolo Scheme
Rigolo is a complete Key Stage 2 French course, split into 2 levels (Rigolo 1 and Rigolo 2).
Rigolo 1 is aimed at Years 3-4, and Rigolo 2 at Years 5-6.
With Rigolo, you can follow the amazing adventures of the much-loved characters Jake, Polly and Bof as they discover France through lively interactions and colourful stories.
Rigolo is fully matched to the National Curriculum and meets the requirements of the KS2 Framework for Languages.
Long Term Overview
French Progression and Vocabulary
Assessment in French is ongoing and based on individual lessons and units. A feedback sheet is completed at the end of a lesson or unit and these are used to assess progress against the National Curriculum objectives.


In the early 1980s, I officially started Rick Mahonski Goldsmith's as a business. For the past 28 years, my work on the jewelry bench has become a passion. That passion is translated to each piece I design and create in my studio. Like many artists I have been greatly influenced by the history of art throughout civilization. Many of my pieces reflect styles from past great civilizations such as the Greeks, Romans, and Medieval Times, to name a few. In studying architecture from these great civilizations and combining them with contemporary concepts, gives me a great opportunity to create pieces that can adorn the body with a graceful beauty from old and new. Many designs are my interpretation from a long forgotten time.
Let me tell you a little about myself and how I got started in the jewelry business.
In 1972 as a junior at Williamsport Area High School, I made my first piece of jewelry, it was a simple piece for a friend. There was a magical feeling to create a piece that brought joy to someone else. I knew from that point on the special feeling of creating was something I would do for life.
As a Fine Arts major at Wilkes University many hours were spent in the jewelry workshop creating piece after piece that were given to good friends.
In March of 1995, a cross born from the collaboration of Rick Mahonski and Nella Storm was presented to Pope John Paul II. This 3 ½" by 1 ¾" fourteen carat gold cross, adorned with a purple amethyst and green tourmalines, was created using Mahonski's forging, fabricating and lost-wax casting techniques, as well as Storm's expertise in Medieval cathedral architecture. This gem-encrusted cross can now be found among the world's finest Medieval goldworks displayed at the Vatican.
What few know, however, is that this cross is more than a nice piece of jewelry. Mahonski says it is a personal acknowledgement of both his religious beliefs and his pride in the determination of Poles to maintain theirs. As a Polish-American, he has always looked up to the first Polish Pope with admiration. To do more to honor both him and the Polish Roman Catholic Church, Mahonski decided to make copies of the Pope's cross to raffle off each year. There were only twelve duplicates made, one for each stage of the cross. Proceeds from the first raffle, which earned $20,000.00, went toward an unwed mothers' home in Wadowice, Poland, the birthplace of Pope John Paul II. Both the money and a hand-crafted mosaic depicting the cross were safely driven and delivered from Rome to Poland.


I Insanity of The Ego in Human History and the Dawning of a New Era.
In this Book, Steve Taylor looks at Human Life before "The Fall" which is said to be about 6000 years ago, how life was very different. We often look upon the past and the tribes of the past as primitive people and that today at the Cutting Edge of Evolution we have moved well beyond the days of Hunter Gatherers and Tribesman, but in truth have we got it all wrong? What do we really know about what life was like then compared to today. We're told that we're the most advanced and civilized the Human Race has ever been but is that really true. A great saying is this, "Control the Present and you control the past". Is what we're told about the past completely true?
Steve Taylor gives us a different point of view and explores many areas of Human Life both in the ancient World and the Modern World. Most certainly a very interesting read.

"I'm reclaiming my blackness, which I feel is continuously performed by the privileged 'other'. My reality is that I do not mimic being black; it is my skin, and the experience of being black is deeply entrenched in me. Just like our ancestors, we live as black people 365 days a year, and we should speak without fear." Zanele Muholi.
In this touring exhibition by Autograph ABP South African visual activist Zanele Muholi presents their ongoing self-portrait series Somnyama Ngonyama (meaning Hail, the Dark Lioness in in Zulu, one of the eleven official languages in South Africa). The exhibition comprises more than 75 photographs with Muholi using their body as a canvas to confront the politics of race and representation in the visual archive.
Taken primarily between 2014 and 2017, each portrait in Somnyama Ngonyama poses critical questions about social justice, human rights and contested representations of the black body. Muholi's self-reflective and psychologically charged portraits are unapologetic in their artistry as they explore different archetypes / personae and offer visual reflections inspired by personal experiences and socio-political events.
In Somnyama Ngonyama, ready-made objects and found materials are transformed into culturally loaded props, merging the political with the aesthetic – often commenting on specific events in South Africa's recent history. Scouring pads and latex gloves address themes of domestic servitude, while simultaneously alluding to sexual politics, violence against black bodies and the suffocating prisms of gendered identity. Rubber tires, electrical cords or cable ties reference forms of social brutality and capitalist exploitation, and powerfully evoke the plight of workers – maids, miners and members of different disenfranchised communities.
Using a range of artefacts – from chopsticks, can lids and safety pins to plastic bags or polythene wrapping – Muholi draws attention to urgent environmental issues and toxic waste. Accessories such as cowrie shells or beads highlight Western fascinations with clichéd, exoticised representations of African cultures and people as well as the global economies of migration, commerce and labour.


Just two minutes of your time can have an incredible impact.
I am on a journey of learning. My heart is ripe for life lessons. I have become more aware of the needs that surround me each day. I am not sure how I got here but I have to share a few things that I have learned.
The needs are great and we have a serious problem.
Let me try to explain - society has become so inwardly focused that we have lost sight of what is around us. In my analytical discussions I have concluded with all my earthly wisdom - that it all stems from the self-improvement industry that took over the book publishing world a couple of decades ago. While improving yourself is not a negative action, not sharing the improvements with the world around you is. The majority of the self-improvement books didn't include that chapter.
So what we see today is a society that is looking for the next thing to make them happy, for other people to make them happy, to buy the next trendy item to make them happy. They are not going to find happiness in any of those locations.
What I have learned is that heart happiness comes from a two minute investment.
A couple of years ago I tried something different for lent, I decided to "give" instead of "give up". You can read about it here. That experience has never left the way that I look at relationships around me.
I see the needs around me and I want to help - but the needs are great and I am just me.
I have friends that are traveling down some dark roads and through deep water and I wanted to add a little light and encouragement to their day. So I began taking two minutes out of my day and investing in those that need support and strength. I would pray for my friend and then text them a scripture picture.
I could write all sorts of fancy words and quotes but nothing that I could text would bring comfort and support the way God's holy word can.
Finding two minutes is easy- sitting in the car line, one less scroll through social media or sitting down at the end of your day. A short prayer and God's word will have a tremendous impact on those with needs around each one of us. All of us have an opportunity to be the hands and feet and light of Jesus to the world around us.
I am so enjoying investing my time this way. I am finding more two minute opportunites in my day and searching for more cell phone numbers to send messages to. Many times I will be praying for someone and I word or scripture will come to mind and then I know what I need to send to them, many times I get a reply that says, "That is just what I needed to hear today." and that just makes my heart smile. Our Father knows what they need and I am happy to send the text message for Him.
I created a board on Pinterest where I keep scriptures that I want to share and then I have saved them on my phone. If you want a head start you can follow my board for options.
Let's be an encourager to the world around us. Think of someone that needs encouragement and invest two minutes of your time. You won't regret it.

"EnergyAustralia has given me the right environment to do my best work."
A century of powering the present, and planning for the future.
The story of Yallourn Power Station starts in 1921, when the former State Electricity Commission of Victoria (SECV) built a temporary power station fuelled by brown coal from the Latrobe Valley. Its success led to a permanent station on the banks of the Latrobe River in 1924, and to the station we know today.
The power station was built progressively from the 1920s to the 1960s, and again from the 1970s to the 1980s. Yallourn A was the first station to be built in the complex in 1928, followed by Yallourn B, C, D, and E. Station W was built in two stages over a decade between 1970 and 1980s in Yallourn West. Its three distinctive concrete cooling towers are what most people first think of when they think of Yallourn.
While the history of Yallourn is inextricably linked to the coal mine, it is also linked to that of its people and the community they created. Between the 1920s and 1950s, the SECV created a company town to house staff and their families. General Sir John Monash's brief to the town planner was that the houses should be on blocks big enough to allow tenants to keep a horse and a garden, and the subsequent town, with its 1000m2 blocks and distinctive red-roofed houses, went on to have a population of 5,000 at its peak.
Today, Yallourn W generates 10,500 gigawatt hours a year of electricity – enough for about 22 per cent of Victoria's needs, and 8 per cent of Australia's.

Emoji, wu-huu! Tonton kisah lucu terbaru, yang diceritakan menggunakan emoji, mengenai karakter-karakter terfavorit dari Duckburg yaitu: Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, dan Uncle Scrooge!
with the mobile release of DuckTales: Remastered!
Scrooge - Tougher than the toughies, smarter than the smarties, Scrooge mad his money fair and square. Part mysterious billionaire, part adventurer, his wealth combined with his overwhelming confidence has bred an unpredictable nature and a belief that anything can happen & everything is possible if you're willing to work for it. His love of money isn't because he'greedy, it's because he knows how he earned each dollar; each coin is a memento of a past adventure.
Huey - the oldest of the three nephews (by three seconds), he is often called upon to be "The Brains." He LOVES being a triplet, is the consummate Junior Woodchuck, and often find himself scrambling to find logical solutions to the completely illogical. Ever the explorer, Huey is always eager to test his mettle and may one day earn his Adventurer's Merit Badge.
Dewey - The second brother hatched and dealing with the classic middle-child syndrome, Dewy is always looking for ways to stand out from the crowd. Dubbed "The Guts", Dewey is quick to throw himself into dangerous situations without thinking, just to prove himself. Deep down he's worried that he's just an ordinary duck so he's constantly itching to make a name for himself.
Webby - the heart (and the fists) of the team. WEbby has spent most of life isolated in Scrooge's mansion obsessing over his past exploits and training for action with her granny. Now that she's out in the world, WEbby's itching for every adventure the world (and being a normal kid) has to offer.!
Donald - Donald is a well-meaning, short-fused single parent raising his sister's children as his own. Unlike Scrooge who thrives on adventure, Donald avoids it at all costs. He could actually be an ace adventurer if he'd ever cut loose; he's strong-willed, determined and insanely devoted to his family.
Mrs. Beakley - Webby's grandmother and Scrooge's no-nonsense housekeeper, bodyguard, and closest confidant. Beakley has a mysterious past and a particular set of skills that goes beyond vacuuming and doing windows. She's trained in every martial art and action tactic. Although she often call Scrooge out, she's the only person he really trusts.
Glomgold- The world's second richest duck who has dedicated his entire life to besting that other Scottish billionaire duck. His obsession with beating Scrooge paired with his willingness to fight dirty, lie, cheat, steal and spend every last nickel of his fortune to do it make him a truly fierce adversary.
Launchpad - Scrooge's big-hearted, fearless, and dim chauffer & personal pilot. Launchpad is trusting to a fault and always up for anything, which suits Scrooge's purposes just fine as he's the only pilot crazy enough to actually do what Scrooge wants him to do.

November 2018, Hunan workers suffering from silicosis travelled to Shenzhen to seek better rights. Representative from the relevant department pledged to come up with a new compensation scheme within one month. Worker representatives from Leiyang City and Sangzhi County then negotiated with Shenzhen Government representatives in early December and obtained positive results. The negotiation results were, however, overturned by Hunan People's Government when it discussed the implementation details with the workers who returned to the province.
On 6 November 2018, over 100 silicosis victims and their family members from Hunan Province protested at the Shenzhen Social Security Bureau in Shenzhen Human Resource Park. They hoped the Shenzhen Government to assist them in settling the compensation issue but the authority refused their demands and triggered more victims and their families joining the protest. This pledge for justice has been going on for 9 years and the end is still yet to be seen.

Russia, Turkey, Iran pledge joint push for Syria peace
By Xinhua
Friday, February 15, 2019, 10:26 By Xinhua
Russian President Vladimir Putin, center, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, left, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attend a news conference after the talks in the Bocharov Ruchei residence in the Black Sea resort of Sochi, Russia, Feb 14, 2019. (PRESIDENTIAL PRESS SERVICE VIA AP)
MOSCOW — Russia, Turkey and Iran on Thursday agreed on several key directions of future interaction in the settlement of the Syrian crisis after a trilateral summit of their presidents in the Russian city of Sochi.
"It is very important that our three countries intend to strengthen cooperation within the framework of the Astana process, which proved its necessity," Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a press conference, following "constructive and businesslike" talks with his Turkish and Iranian counterparts.
We will continue to enhance our efforts in fighting terrorism, promoting intra-Syrian dialogue and improving the humanitarian situation in Syria
Vladimir Putin, Russian president
"We will continue to enhance our efforts in fighting terrorism, promoting intra-Syrian dialogue and improving the humanitarian situation in Syria," he said.
In particular, the presidents agreed to continue the efforts to eradicate militants in Syria's rebel-held Idlib province and to take additional steps in finally eliminating the tension and reaching stabilization in this region.
Meanwhile, the three countries will help Syria establish a committee to carry out constitutional reforms in the country, Putin said.
"We have agreed to contribute by joint efforts to the most rapid start of work of the constitutional committee, which is to work on the fundamental aspects of the future state system of Syria," he said.
It is necessary to approve the list of participants of the committee, most of which have already been agreed on with the Syrian government and the opposition, and elaborate regulations for the main parameters of its functioning, Putin added.

Russia, Turkey and Iran are guarantors of a ceasefire deal in Syria and have been mediating a peace process for the Syrian crisis since 2016.
Putin said the three guarantor countries have helped to create favorable conditions for Syria's transition to peaceful development.
"We are convinced that a durable stability in Syria can only be reached by political and diplomatic methods in accordance with the resolution 2254 of the UN Security Council and with strict observation of principles of unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country," he said.

He underlined the importance of humanitarian aid to Syria, saying that the three countries have contributed to the return of 1.5 million refugees.
On the other hand, he urged the international community to pool efforts so as to radically improve the situation in Syria, to eliminate acute social problems and to revive the economy.
"We call on all interested states and international organizations, primarily the UN, to intensify aid to Syrians in return to peaceful life and overcoming the consequences of the military conflict," Putin said.
The three presidents also discussed the further development of the situation in Syria after the US announcement of plans to withdraw its troops from Syria's northeastern regions.
"We came to a general conclusion the implementation of these measures could become a positive step. It would help stabilize the situation in that part of Syria, where finally the control by the legitimate government should be restored," Putin said.
Echoing Putin's remarks, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said it would be "good news" for local population if the US completely withdraws its troops from Syria and other countries in the region.
Therefore, he urged Washington to revise its Middle East policy, which is currently exerting negative influence on countries in the region.
"In the past 20 years, America has constantly played a destructive role in our region: in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Syria, and today in Yemen...What we want or hope is that the US will reconsider its policy towards the region," Rouhani said.
He also noted that several things need to be taken into account for the sake of achieving peace and stability in Syria, including no foreign intervention, the assistance of the international community and the fight against terrorism.
Speaking at the press conference, Turkish President Recep Erdogan reaffirmed the importance of resolving the situation in Idlib.
"We do not want new tragedies, new humanitarian crises in Syria, or in other regions, or in Idlib...We will continue to do everything possible to implement the Idlib memorandum," he said.
Erdogan stressed that Turkey will coordinate actions with Russia and Iran in the process of the US troops pullout while taking into account of Syria's territorial integrity and eliminating the threats of terrorism, especially on the border areas.
According to Putin, the trilateral summit is expected to promote further productive work leading to the final restoration of peace and stability in Syria, and the three countries have agreed that the next round of such consultations will take place in Astana in the end of March or the beginning of April.
Regular meetings at the expert level will also be continued with the participation of the guarantor countries' delegations, Syrian parties, government and opposition, as well as UN representatives.

New Pet Wellness CBD Maker Targets Anxiety
Rise in adoptions due to COVID-19 means more first-time pet owners, greater number of anxiety-driven behavioral issues in rescue dogs.
By Thomas Mulloy | June 30, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a drastic increase in the number of first-time dog owners, with many of the dogs coming from shelters and rescues. This increases the likelihood of emotional scarring and behavioral issues, with older dogs suffering aches and pains.
Pet wellness company Kitsie targets pandemic-induced anxiety and stress with its line of premium pet CBD products. Among its lineup are a CBD oil that can be sprayed directly onto a pet's gums, on food or in water; calming dog bites; and a paw and hot spot balm.
At the same time, the pet separation anxiety expected to accompany our return to normalcy is to dogs what panic attacks are to humans. Those chewed up pillows, accidents on the carpet and half-eaten shoes? That's what stress looks like.
"Animals act out not from naughtiness, but because they are highly stressed and panicked," explained Kitsie adviser and veterinarian Dr. David Jamael.
Kitsie's CBD-infused oils, balms and dog treats alleviate the stress and anxiety that are the sources of dog aggression and misbehavior.
"For everyone involved in Kitsie, this is personal. We're all about our dogs," said Kitsie CEO and co-founder Nik Topolovec. "Pet CBD is the future, but the key is that it has to be pure, with zero THC, and dosing needs to be accurate."
Kitsie's CBD products — which are vegan, THC-free, non-GMO, cruelty-free and source all-natural ingredients manufactured in the United States – have also been shown to decrease chronic pain, inflammation, joint stiffness and soreness.
Pet wellness company Kitsie has earned the support of a diverse group of influential pet parents including former NFL running back and future Hall of Famer Marshawn Lynch, current NFL quarterback Josh Johnson, record executive Steven Victor and fashion design icon Christopher Bevans, among others.
"Pet wellness is real. Pets deal with a lot of the same stress we do as humans, ya' feel me?" stressed Lynch, owner of multiple dogs over the years. "I don't have kids, but my pups have been like my kids for sure. I've seen the good that Kitsie CBD products have had on them, so when I hear a lot of dogs are facing all these different issues on a daily basis, I want people to know there's a product out there that can help them out."
While Kitsie's pet CBD products are available online for home delivery in the United States (excluding Idaho, Nebraska, and South Dakota), they are also available for wholesale purchase by contacting the company via email at [email protected].
