A month ago I took a (relatively) short train ride into the beautiful Derbyshire countryside to spend a week coding in the middle of nowhere.
I was attending A Week of REST – a training event put on by the excellent folks at WordPress agency, Human Made.
Part of a group of about 20, we descended on Darwin Lake near Matlock, a beautiful set of holiday cottages set around a lake and right next door to the Peak District National Park – one of Britain's best destinations.
Being remote there was no mobile signal and the wifi was pretty terrible! But that didn't matter – the course had been set up in such a way that an internet connection was more of a luxury and the disconnect allowed us to concentrate on learning and interacting with each other.
Building a React app was very different to developing for WordPress. We used NPM and Webpack to create a local development environment (sitting at localhost:3000) and we were writing entirely in JS/JSX and there was even an index.html file! Crazy times.
The API endpoints were just a WordPress plugin, and creating them was much like interacting with other WordPress APIs. I'd equate it to registering new post types, so very simple for a WordPress developer to get on with.
Having done the React class at last year's Automattic Grand Meetup everything I learnt came flooding back, so that wasn't a big challenge. Using ES6 was weird at first but I quickly came to enjoy it – and I really don't enjoy JS dev usually  The biggest challenge was probably understanding authentication with the API. While we only used one authentication method and had a helpful library to make it easy, there are some complicated concepts to get your head around and there were a lot of questions on that topic from the group.
Finally, it wouldn't be right to spend such a long time without an internet connection and not have something to show for it. So I present to you my very first solo-built standalone React app: howmuchhuel.com.
I've recently started using Huel* regularly and needed a quick way to measure the mixture on my phone, so I built this neat little app. The calculations are a bit scrappy, but it works. Contributions welcome.
*get £5 off with this link, because I love you.
WordPress fork is happening – and it looks amazing!
Obviously I'm a huge WordPress fan, but I'm not a blind believer. I can see it's limitations, I'm well aware of it's growing pains. That's why, when John O'Nolan first presented his concept for Ghost I was excited.
While WordPress evolves into a CMS from a blogging platform (and it still has a long way to go!) it necessarily looses the simplicity it had as a pure blogging platform. John's brainchild was to provide something that returned to those first principles.
Now the project is actually coming to life. John and his team have a great introduction and they're seeking backers through Kickstarter. I've pledged.
One big thing that draws me in are the principles that John talks about in the introductory video. One of my constant bugbears around other open source project, WordPress included, is the ownership – structures that often do not reflect the spirit of open source, and we see the impact time and time again.
John is committed to making sure that Ghost is open source and non-profit and that that follows through to the entire eco-system that will surround Ghost.
Vulnerability in WP Super Cache and W3 Total Cache – update now!
Hot on the heels of the big WordPress botnet attack comes news of a serious vulnerability in the two most popular caching plugins, WP Super Cache and W3 Total Cache.
By allowing anyone to inject malicious code into your WordPress site through the standard comments form, this security vulnerability is particularly nasty in it's simplicity and ease of exploitation.
I'm glad that the security and maintenance measures I take as part of my WordPress maintenance package mean that both the botnet attack and this vulnerability weren't a concern, but others might not be so lucky.
Make sure you secure your site now, and keep it up to date.
My Author Bio Shortcode WordPress plugin has received a substantial update today, adding a bunch of new options.
Thanks to some helpful and constructive criticism from Richard Tubb about my blog I've been making a few updates including wanting to put a bio below each post, which reminded me I already had a handle little tool for that! Not satisfied that it only printed out the bio, I wanted to add my avatar and also some wrapper HTML to make styling the whole thing a little easier.
Version 2.0 of Author Bio Shortcode now does that. If you want to use it, or upgrade, I'd suggesting checking out the usage instructions at the WordPress.org plugin repository to see the fine detail. You can also see it in action at the bottom of this post!
Update! Based on Nara's comments I've just added some name parameters too, so that you can add the author's name as well as bio.
One of the great local bloggers around Lichfield is Kevin Jones who, every day, uses his own weather station to provide a forecast for the area.
It's a great service and one that we try and retweet through Lichfield Live. I wanted to provide our visitors with something more and so, after some collaboration with Kevin, I built a WordPress plugin that creates a lovely graphical widget that will sit in any WordPress sidebar to show today's forecast, and link through to Kevin's site for the full report.
You can see it in action on Lichfield Live and Burntwood Live and if you'd like to use it on your own site you can do so by downloading the zip file.
If you're running a site in the local area, feel free to use it. It'll update at around 7:10am every day. If you have any issues with it, or feature suggestions, let me know in the comments section below.


Welcome to the never-ending campaign.
State Senator Eric Johnson (R - Savannah) has formally announced his candidacy for Lt. Governor in 2010.
Vowing to be a bridge between citizens and elected officials, Eric Johnson has formally launched his bid for lieutenant governor in 2010.
So now Sen. Johnson wants the title.
The Savannah paper says state Sen. David Shafer (R - Duluth) is also running for the state's number two job. It should be an interesting primary. . .

A tale of two cinemas: Toronto's Fox Theatre and Kitchener's Apollo Cinema
par Andrew Seale | 20 février 2019 | Partager :
Inspired by their love of cinema, Daniel Demois and Andy Willick revitalized two aging theatres – the Fox Theatre in Toronto's Beaches neighbourhood and the Apollo Cinema in Kitchener – drawing in moviegoers with a blend of classic, contemporary and cult hits. Now they're refining their digital approach to connecting with their audience.
It didn't take long for Daniel Demois and his business partner Andy Willick to realize they'd stumbled into new territory with their purchase of Apollo Cinema alongside friend and Kitchener native Matt MacKinnon.
The duo had spend close to a decade reviving the Fox Theatre in the Beaches area (one of the city's oldest picture houses), with a unique blend of classics, cult hits, and contemporary flicks. But when they followed MacKinnon's lead and brought their concept to the tech boomtown of Kitchener in 2015, the difference in audiences was clear before they'd even switched on the projectors.
"Before we even opened we had a massive following on Facebook," says Demois. It was already higher than the Fox had garnered up to that point. To Demois, it meant their approach between marketing the cinemas and connecting with moviegoers was likely to vary drastically.
The duo got into the cinema business eleven years ago after sidestepping post-university nine-to-fives in favour of the riskier alternative: buying a theatre. The film industry was in the midst of a major disruption. Movie stores were close to decline and Netflix was introducing streaming. On top of that, independent cinemas were struggling to compete with mega-plex theatres with a seemingly endless amount of screens.
But Demois and Willick were nostalgic for their youth, the days of frequenting independent cinemas like the Kingsway Theatre and the Revue Cinema.
"That was our film education, seeing a lot of retro titles that you'd never have the opportunity to see on the big screen," says Demois. "That's what interested us." Seeing an opportunity to open their own they bought the Fox Theatre and later, the Apollo in Kitchener.
"We knew we could bring something slightly different instead of playing the old standards like Casablanca… maybe the Big Lebowski, something (for) a new era," he says. "Nostalgia is constantly changing (and) we had a fresh approach we were excited about."
Tackling audience nuance with digital marketing
The duo has been working with Digital Main Street's consultants both in Kitchener and Toronto, finding ways to fine-tune their digital approach.
"Digital Main Street was really helpful in pointing out things that we might've been missing… it was helpful in filling in the gaps," says Demois. They had a grasp of social media and its importance, but web design was foreign territory. Heat mapping, identifying the parts of the website frequently scanned by visitors, was particularly useful in terms of understanding how customers were using their websites. Through that they realized their membership program was being overlooked.
And even when people signed up, Demois and co. realized they could be doing a better job with the follow-through. "They helped us make sure we were welcoming people the right way, something we'd never done before."
But marketing efforts is where the two cinemas diverge. Demois points out that the Kitchener audience tends to skew more towards the tech-savvy side of things.
"The Fox has had a monthly newspaper flyer forever, so when we took it over we adopted that," says Demois. "With the Apollo we started with that as well but noted (at the) Apollo we only really need the website – at the Fox if we got rid of the newspaper it might suffer."
It requires a different approach to marketing spend. For instance, $600 may support a month's flyers, whereas with the Apollo that $600 could be used towards Facebook advertising or Google Adwords. "That seems to be a bit more of an easy way to track how you're doing as well with reaching people," he says. "The newspapers might be gone but you don't know if they got thrown in the garbage."
It's a learning process but slowly the Apollo and Fox owners are starting to gather analytics through social media and digital memberships to better understand their consumers. "(It's helped tie) us more to the people's experience as opposed to what we think the people's experience would be," says Demois. "We're focusing a bit more on evidence."

Japan PM says time for North Korea dialogue over, backs US' 'all options on table' stance
UNITED NATIONS Sep 20, 2017 - 12:00 am GMT+3
Shinzo Abe, Prime Minister of Japan, addresses the 72nd UN General Assembly on September 20, 2017, at the United Nations in New York. (AFP Photo)
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Wednesday declared the time for dialogue with North Korea is over and rallied behind a U.S. warning that "all options" are on the table.
Addressing the U.N. General Assembly, Abe said "there is not much time left" to take action on North Korea which in recent weeks has detonated another nuclear bomb and fired a series of missiles over or near Japan.
A day after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to "totally destroy" North Korea if it attacks, Abe said: "We consistently support the stance of the United States: that 'all options are on the table.'"
Abe said that the world has already tried exhaustively to reach a negotiated settlement with North Korea, starting with the U.S.-backed 1994 Agreed Framework which collapsed a decade later.
"Again and again, attempts to resolve issues through dialogue have all come to naught. In what hope of success are we now repeating the very same failure a third time?" he said.
"What is needed to do that is not dialogue, but pressure," he said.
He voiced alarm at North Korea's military progress, which he said had brought the regime to the threshold of mastering hydrogen bombs and intercontinental ballistic missiles, which would be able to strike the United States.
Abe demanded the strict implementation of U.N. sanctions on Kim Jong-Un's regime, the latest round of which includes a ban on the country's textile exports and a freeze on work permits to North Korean guest workers.
But years of sanctions have had limited effects on North Korea, which follows a "juche" ideology of self-reliance and counts on neighboring China as its economic lifeline.
China -- which has grown frustrated by Kim's actions but also fears the consequences of his regime's collapse -- has repeatedly urged dialogue, with Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Tuesday urging an end to the "current deepening vicious cycle."
Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven, responding to Trump's bellicose speech, called for dialogue in tandem with implementation of sanctions.
"There is no military solution because that would be a disaster, not only for North Korea but for South Korea, the whole peninsula, Japan," Lofven told reporters.
But Abe warned that global credibility was on the line, saying that only North Korea has been "allowed such self-indulgence" in its defiance of the Security Council.
"North Korea is attempting to dismiss with a smirk the efforts towards disarmament we have assiduously undertaken over the years," Abe said.
Abe, Japan's longest-serving post-World War II prime minister, rose to political prominence on his calls for a tough line on North Korea over its past abductions of Japanese civilians.
He has also pressed for a shedding of defense taboos in Japan, whose U.S.-imposed constitution forbids the country from ever again waging war.

Q: Java: how it is possible to call method directly using class name As i know whenever  we want to call any method then we create object and invoke its method using obj.methodname.
But below program calls the method of E class without creating object. How this is possible? Please anyone help me to understand this concept.
I mean 'From below code, how this is possible to write E.test2();? , i think it should be E obj=new E(); obj.test2();
    class E
{
    int i;
    static int j;

    void test1()
    {
        System.out.println("From test1");
    }
    static void test2()
    {
        System.out.println("From test2");
    }
}

class F extends E
{
    int m;
    static int n;
    void test3()
    {
        System.out.println("From test3");
    }
    static void test4()
    {
        System.out.println("From test4");
    }
}

public class G {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        E.test2();
        F.test2();
    }
}

A: The method E.test2 is declared as static which means that you can use this method without create an instance of that class. There are so many classes in Java that uses it.
See the docs:
Understanding Instance and Class Members

A: test2 method is static in class E , and static method are class specific not object specific ,and they are accessed using  "classname.methodname" syntax.
where methodname is static method of "classname"

A: static methods can be called using class name and do not require an object of that class.

month after adding polls to Instagram Stories, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's creation will certainly currently let users post surveys to the NewsFeed - How to Start A Poll On Facebook.
Polls are limited to two choices, which can be spiced up with photos or GIFs. They can be published similarly you 'd publish a condition update, yet the most essential piece of information: these polls are not anonymous. It's uncertain if Facebook will use confidential ballot in the future.
3. Compose your concern into the condition box where it states "Ask a question" and also fill in both options you want people to choose in between.
4. Post your own pictures or select from the countless GIFs readily available to include a visual element to the poll.
7. As the maker, you as well as individuals that voted on the poll could see exactly how others elected.
" We've additionally had numerous kinds of surveys within the Facebook app over the years, however, for the past several years there's been no person way for both individuals and Pages to quickly poll friends and fans," a Facebook representative tells Inverse.
When the poll feature debuted on Instagram, several users were unaware their ballots were not confidential. Users quickly found themselves in hot water as well as humiliated when poll designers saw as well as responded to their not-so-nice answers.
Possibly Facebook is leaving the confidential polling to the positive-oriented messaging app tbh, which the business acquired last month. Polls are not even really a new thing to Facebook itself-- text-only polls were able to be produced on pages and also events, in teams, and most just recently in groups talks in the Messenger app.
While Facebook states it launched its newest poll feature on all gadgets, it's still rolling out to iOS and Android customers.
" We remain in the process of presenting polls throughout systems and also expect that everybody ought to be able to see them by the end of the day on mobile," a Facebook rep tells Inverse.
In the meantime, you could survey your heart away on your Net web browser, where creating a poll will look like this:.
So possibly from now on, your Facebook friends will only share their opinions when you actually ask for them, and also your grandmother will certainly quit supplying unrequested suggestions as well as commentary on every among your conditions. Or you know, maybe not.


The new map of the Milky Way. In the video below shows you the most detailed and complete picture of the Milky Way – a view from the Southern Hemisphere – never published so far.
It is a mosaic obtained by merging the result of more than 700 observations of the APEX telescope, located in the Atacama Desert, in Chile. They appear with unprecedented clarity the star forming regions, the mysterious Galactic Center, and regions where dust and cold gas hovering at temperatures higher than a few fractions of a degree of absolute zero.
It is also the first time that the galaxy is retracted from the southern hemisphere to the wavelength submillimetre – the part of the electromagnetic spectrum between infrared and radio waves. By combining several images taken at different wavelengths can add additional levels of detail. In the image, the new data obtained from the telescope appear in red on a blue background made from a previous view of the galaxy taken by the European Space Agency's Planck satellite.
The central regions of the Milky Way in images taken at different wavelengths: from above, submillimeter radiation (captured by APEX); infrared; near infrared; visible light.
The name "Milky Way" was given by the ancients to the whitish band that crosses diagonally across the celestial sphere, and then be extended to the entire galaxy. In fact, all the stars visible to the naked eye belong to the Milky Way.
The European Southern Observatory, which is part of the APEX telescope, has published the new image to complete the project ATLASGAL, or Large Area Survey of the Galaxy, (large galaxy census): a name that reflects the size of the task, as that for the single image shown in the video we were required more than 400 hours of observations with the telescope over three years.

Vijay G Badllani is at utmost ease when he plays the baddie.. And his new character in Doordarshan's Ranbheri offers only that!!
The actor who was last seen essaying the soft and pleasing character of Naaradji wanted to seek a contrast character that will yet again challenge the actor in him.
And this negative portrayal of the British officer in the DD National show suited the bill.
Vijay is presently enjoying playing Officer John, and hopes to bag a plump role in the GEC space in the near future.
"Any role is welcome, the length of it does not matter; the role should be meaty enough to create the urge in me to grab it," avers Vijay.
Here's wishing you luck, Vijay!!


There have been major changes in the last week.
Our bushes (which actually were transplanted on the same day without an "after" pic) have been accentuated with some delightful mums. They show off the colors of the season even though it's been in the 80s and it's taken about $50 worth of water daily to keep them alive.
The end of September kicked off with some Halloween-themed books such as this one, narrated by Elliott, the heir apparent to Vincent Price.
The boys have taken an enormous, and sudden, interest in Blues music. After dabbling in the Bach's Brandenburg Concertos they have traveled through the centuries to land on the late work of Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughn. Their grandfathers will be very happy to hear this.
On Monday we started them off in their big boy beds. While they didn't sleep the entire night they did make it through the night the following evening. Getting them to bed was something I didn't think could possibly get any harder (read: worse) but apparently I was mistaken. Hopefully this will become a little less painful with time. We have child-proofing tools in place so that it doesn't become the horror that poor Norwegian mother had to deal with.
Later the same night, when I returned home from work, I was dismayed to find my neighbor's house on fire. This is taken from our back yard. Thankfully no one was hurt and, despite at least four fire engines, the damage to the house seems minimal from the outside.
Elliott's independence grows daily. He and his brother want to do everything "BY MYSEEEELF!" The thing is that they really, really stink at doing most things. This means instead of it taken four seconds to put on their pajamas it can sometimes take up to fifteen minutes. That's fifteen minutes of precious time that I'm not really willing to give up at this very moment.
The picture of him beaming above is because he put on his rain coat all by himself. Who knew that the hood should ideally be positioned directly by the wearer's buttocks?
I can only imagine what getting them into their Halloween costumes will be like this year.


My son Cameron's girlfriend, Luisa, is doing an undergraduate thesis at Carleton on Peru's asset-based measure of poverty – and why it doesn't work. She's applying to graduate programs to look at what Mexico is pioneering – a more multi-faceted measure developed by the UN. Talking to her has gotten me thinking about how we measure poverty and thus, who gets aid.
Peru measure poverty with an asset-based index, i.e. by how many physical goods a family owns. If a family has a television or an armchair, they are not as poor as a family that doesn't — even if the TV is used to babysit the children while the parents take sporadic shifts at the tourist hotel or the armchair was inherited from a grandfather.
Other countries use annual income. But the fisherman Luisa interviewed in Peru this past summer didn't know their annual income. Their catch varied wildly from day to day and they had never totaled their earnings over a year. Even if we were able to measure income, neither assets nor income take into account safety, health, access to education, or a consistent income.
Angus Deaton of Princeton won the Economics Nobel last month for his work to improve data that shape public policy, including measures of wealth and poverty. In his presidential address to the American Economic Association in 2010, Professor Deaton criticized some popular poverty measures, such as the count of people living on less than $1 a day. He encouraged increased reliance on surveys of individual household circumstances.
Ironically, Luisa's anthropology professors recommended she conclude that poverty is so multi-faceted, it can't be measured. Thankfully, Luisa – and Nobel Prize winners like Deaton – are trying.

When I think of the Piazza Navona in Rome I think of you now.
Last time I was there I was walking around, and every coffee I had, or wine I sipped, or smile I gave to a passing man, or Bernini fountains I stopped and stood at for the hundredth time pondering with fresh eyes, or place I wandered into… gazing at everything in Saint Agnese, or in the museums near by; I thought about you there in the piazza before me, and after me, off in your own reverie, not thinking of me except when I asked for an image of you once, standing before a marble goddess. You sent it to your part-time Aphrodite on Hérmes' winged feet, and I treasured it, and buried it, like Crassus' riches.
You have captured my imagination against my will, and that's kind of lovely.
This strange, exciting, impossible idea of you sprung from the wells of imagination.
My eyes shine at you; the color of dreams and the sea.
Your eyes burn at me; the color of will and life and earth.
And time itself is a secret nod between us.


First, the sample database contains a Customers table which will be used to create a label template using the label wizard. See Figure 1. The table contains just 11 customers. Use the label wizard to create a label template three columns by 10 rows. Set the label order to Down, Then Across. Save the report as CustomerLabels. Preview the labels. See Figure 2.
The "trick" to creating the duplicate labels is a utility table which we'll name the Repeat Table. The table has one field (type: integer) with two records, 1 and 2. See Figure 3 .
Next we'll add the Repeat table to the record source of the CustomerLabels . Open the CustomerLabels report in design view, then open the property sheet for the report and click on the record source property. Double click the query builder button (three dots) to create a query based on the Customers table. Drag the asterisk field into the design grid. Next, click the show table tool and add the Repeat table to the query. See figure 4 .
Adding the Repeat table to the record source will create duplicate labels. The number of labels is determined by the number of records in the Repeat table. The resulting label report has two labels for each customer. The CustomerLabels2 report in the Sample Database has the results of this change. See Figure5.
Let's add another piece to this puzzle. Suppose you want to add a header above each label in order to distinguish one from the other. For example, if the labels were placed on duplicate documents, then mailed to the customer, the labels might say "Customer Copy" and "Return with Payment."
To add this feature, we must first create another table named Repeat2 . This table contains the original integer field found in Repeat plus a text field to hold the label header text. See Figure 6 .
Now we'll return to the record source of the labels. Click the query builder button to edit the query, then delete the Repeat table and add the Repeat2 table. Next drag the RepeatText field into the design grid. See Figure 7 .
Close the query and then add the RepeatText to the top of the label (in design view). Close and preview the labels. The label report now has a heading at the top of each label. The CustomerLabels3 report in the Sample Database shows this change. See Figure 8.
The next time you're working with a report and you want to create duplicate or triplicate pages, consider using the Repeat table. There are other ways to achieve the same result, but I have found this method to be quick and easy.

First off, I am a WordPress newbie… a designer first, developer second- the side of my brain that makes things "pretty" overpowers the side that understands how programming and code works!!!
Business Category, Subcategory, Address, Phone, website, etc.
But it only shows 1 category and only the most recent business listing.
oh forgot to mention, each listing will be a link to that page, and I want the categories to auto-generate as more categories are added, if that makes any sense.
In the first place, you have two calls to query_posts() within the Loop (while (have_posts()) … ). Each call to query_posts() starts a new Loop, overwriting the current one, so this approach will not work.
You will need a custom query to select the post data, the business category and the sub category in a single query and then have one Loop to process the results.
This is probably too complex to address in this forum. If you wish, contact me here and I will try to help.
See the code in this pastebin.
I can't seem to get that code to work. Is inside the loop or does it replace the loop?
I am actually not doing subcategories anymore because it was getting too complicated. Is there any way I can modify the code I already have- it is laid out just the way I want it, the only problem was the way it was structured.
Sorry for being such a newb… this is like trying to learn another language! Thanks for your patience!!
Everyone is a newb at the start.
I don't believe that the code you have can easily be modified to work. You need a custom query to get the sort order correct.
Then, in order to get the grouping to work, you have to put in tests to see if the post currently being processed belongs to the current group and start a new group if not.
The code I posted replaces the loop. It would replace all of the code you showed above.
Are you going to add the subcategories back in or not?
But maybe the way you did it we could replace category with town, and then subcategory with category… that may simplify things a bit. This is actually for a client so once I figure out how to do it, I have to teach the client how, so the less pages we have the better.
It should certainly work to use Town instead of Business Category, and Business Category instead of Subcategory.
Just change the meta_key values that are in the pastebin code.
Also, I just noticed that you are using Pages instead of Posts. You need to change the post_type in the pastebin code as well.
ahh! It worked! Silly me- I should have figured that one out!
I just need to style my results- but I'm sure I can figure that one out.
The following code will separate your custom fields into categories and subcategories….
I searched day and night for this solution so maybe this code can help someone else out. Thanks again!
The topic 'Sort by custom fields: orderby is only showing the latest page instead of all' is closed to new replies.

Need a Raisin to Drink Gin?
I'm not a gin drinker. If I have to drink the hard stuff, my liquor of choice is vodka (straight up with two olives, please). Gin is just not a taste I've ever cottoned to.
Still, when my workout buddy Robin, a nurse by day, said her solution to arthritic finger and thumb joints was gin-infused raisins, I was all ears. Fruit and spirits sound way better to me than mega doses of ibuprofen. And I'm hoping the combination works better than the turmeric I tried but gave up on after three months.
Gin and golden raisins could be the ticket. I now have a raisin to drink gin!
Robin suggested pouring the contents of one box of golden raisins (has to be golden, she said) into a mason jar, cover with gin (any gin, just go for cheap), and let the raisins soak up as much gin as possible. Then she said to eat NINE raisins nightly (nighttime is better, she said; that way your gin breath won't alarm people). She is tiny, I'm not, so I ate ten raisins (and they actually tasted pretty good). Another woman, also a workout friend from the Fitness Garage, scoffed at only nine/ten. She splurges on a big spoonful and considers it dessert.
Both said it worked for them. Robin's been eating nine gin-soaked raisins every night for years. No arthritis. Vicki is a more recent convert. No arthritis. Both travel with their special raisins and had some tips for getting past the TSA guys.
My fingers are crossed (because there is no arthritis there). Maybe soon I'll be able to cross my hips!
7xs what of Omega 3? I take Omega 3 tablets… (2000mg of salmon oil and 520 of other O-3s), plus some 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. And some fatty acids. And some astaxanthin.


As far as the Hamptons go, Amagansett is one of the most exclusive neighborhoods. From Lou Reed to Sarah Jessica Parker, celebrities love the quiet hamlet, located on Long Island's South Shore. Eclectic beach houses dot the dune-lined beachfront, and one of our favorites is the Whaler's Lane Residence by Rogers Marvel Architects.
A renovation and expansion of an existing oceanfront beach cottage, this home is made up of a series of shingle-wrapped exterior and interior spaces connected via wooden pathways. The original structure provided inspiration for the design, as the project maintained similar materials and profiles to create a contextual residence.

I also use cast(Text_table as decimal), but it add a comma and delete other numbers.
Im trying to get the same table as int type without losing numbers and without changing commas for points

A: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/number-literals.html says:

Integers are represented as a sequence of digits. Numbers may include . as a decimal separator. Numbers may be preceded by - or + to indicate a negative or positive value, respectively.

There are no thousands separators in MySQL numeric literals.
MySQL has a function FORMAT() that adds thousands separators to an integer or scaled numeric value, but these are not stored.
There is no builtin function that removes a string of digits with thousands separators to a numeric value. In the comments above, you did it with the string function REPLACE() and then CAST() that resulting string to an integer, but this is more like string manipulation.

At Konspirationen he'll perform "TUNNEL" an audio-visual performance with live audio to a pre-rendered video environment by photographer George Chelebiev.
"TUNNEL is an audio-visual exploration of descent. Achieved through gradual layering of tectonic low frequencies and introvert drones, which co-exist with a minimalist video environment, depicting a slow and monotonous walk in organic or man-made tunnels. All that leading you to a sonically shaped inner light."

New York's Museum of Modern Art will close over the summer in order to complete its Diller Scofidio + Renfro-designed overhaul, then fully re-open four months later.
The museum's galleries will close 15 June 2019, and open again on 21 October 2019 once the refurbishment is finished, MoMA revealed yesterday.
The summer closure will accommodate the last phase of the project, undertaken by New York studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with global firm Gensler, which involves reconfiguring the museum and adding over 40,000 square feet (3,716 square metres) of gallery space.
These final set of changes will extend the west wing of the museum's Ronald S and Jo Carole Lauder Building, with new facilities that include a double-height studio for media, performance and film, and an education space.
Previous work saw an overhaul of the building's east wing, which had already opened to the public.
A suite of street-facing galleries at ground level, planned to be admission-free, will also be added as part of a plan to better connect the museum and its Midtown Manhattan location.
MoMA will close at the end of its spring exhibition series, which includes Lincoln Kirstein's Modern; Joan Miró: Birth of the World; New Order: Art and Technology in the Twenty-First Century; and The Value of Good Design.
Collections will be removed for the summer months, while finishing touches are made to the galleries.
The October re-install will see multiple mediums arranged in a "general chronological spine" on the first-, third- and fourth-floor galleries, including the new David Geffen Wing. These will extend into the Jean Nouvel-designed 53W53 building to add 11,500 square feet (1,068 square metres) on each level.
This approach follows a new "curatorial vision" that will allow multi-disciplinary showcases of the architecture and design collections, which MoMA said forms part of the original ambition of its founder Alfred Barr.
"Inspired by Alfred Barr's original vision to be an experimental museum in New York, the real value of this expansion is not just more space, but space that allows us to rethink the experience of art in the Museum," said MoMA director Glenn D Lowry in a statement.
MoMA will still continue to host topic-specific exhibitions, like last year's exploration of Yugoslavia's concrete architecture, in individual galleries.
Renovation work on the museum began in February 2016, and was executed in phases in line with Diller Scofidio + Renfro's plans.
The first stage reconfigured the second-floor galleries into two "loft-like" exhibition spaces, created a new lounge with views of the Philip Johnson-designed sculpture garden, added a new gift and book shop, and extended the Bauhaus staircase.
Over the years, the project has required different gallery spaces and areas of the museum close in phases. The architecture and design galleries shut in April 2016, raising concerns that the extension would scrap these dedicated areas, but MoMA later issued a letter that it would not be removing the programmes entirely.
The project also proved controversial when Tod Williams and Billie Tsien's Museum of American Folk Art was razed to make way for extra space in 2014, and when the proposal forced to be scaled back two years later.

Helhest Anybody that contacted with Lisa Gerrard's first two solo albums back in the day, will get one of the main influences floating around this Todesfuge EP. The persistent ambient tone and the ominous and tormented vocals are a proof that DCD legacy is still being (well) reinvented. Todesfuge is darkness and dwells in utter sadness and nostalgia. In terms of music it sits in a comfortable dark ambient baseline, with some ethnic elements haunting the landscape. Favorite track: Rose Resistance.
Dustfan Lisa Gerrard/Dead Can Dance type vocals floating over dark ambient soundscapes. Very nice. Favorite track: Rose Resistance.
Includes unlimited streaming of Rose Resistance via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Kanye West's 41st birthday celebration this weekend was attended by a long list of famous guests including Kid Cudi, Pusha T, Quavo, Teyana Taylor, Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and of course Kim Kardashian. According to his Wikipedia page, Suchard is described as an "Israeli mentalist and self-described "mystifier" who performs 'supernatural entertainment'".
"So we have Lior here all the way from Tel Aviv, who is a mentalist", Kim can be heard saying on her Instagram Story, which featured several videos of Lior fascinating Kanye's guests.
Catch highlights of the West-Kardashian-Jenner family's visit to Family Feud below.
West and Kardashian also celebrated his birthday privately last week with their two eldest kids, North West, 5, and Saint West, 2.
And his birthday cake was made to look like the Teton Range of the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming, complete with green frosting that read, "Happy Birthday Kanye"-an homage to the cover art of of his new album "Ye", which he recorded in the state".
"Happy Birthday babe! It's been a wild year but we're here & life is good! Love you", she captioned a photo of Kanye on a private plane holding daughter Chicago and his phone. You inspire me to make the impossible always become a reality.
Along with celebrating his birthday, West has been busy with the recent release of his new album Ye, which has already garnered over 100 million streams worldwide, while reaching No. 1 album status on iTunes, Spotify and Apple Music in multiple countries.

This standard specifies requirements for hand-held gamma spectrometers, in particular for the detectors, the electronic multi-channel analysers, the identification software, the radioisotop libraries and the instrument display. It further specifies general characteristics, general test procedures, radiation, electrical, mechanical, safety and environmental characteristics. It also gives guidelines for selecting suitable isotope libraries covering radioactive materials, which have been most frequently detected by border crossings. In this standard the fact is recognized, that such instruments are mostly used by persons who are generally not radiation experts.


Sal, Kris & Charlie's Deli, a.k.a. The Sandwich King of Astoria, at 33-12 23rd Ave.
Standing at a silver slicing machine, John Gordon looks out at the crowd of customers at the counter and smiles.
The stretching sun hasn't even taken a bite out of the morning, but already hungry people are lined up, mouths watering, for the jaw-dropping, jumbo subs of The Sandwich King of Astoria, a.k.a. Sal, Kris & Charlie's Deli.
John at the front counter.
No matter how you slice it (and most eaters have it cut into several pieces to last a couple of meals or even days), the sandwich is a whopper: It's 14 inches long and twice as tall as the average wide-open mouth.
John, 26, and his older brother, Nick, have been working for The Sandwich King of Astoria since they were teenagers.
The Bomb on the massive menu; Alka-Seltzer is $1.
Their father, Charlie, opened the taste buds tantalizer in 1987, the year Nick was born, converting the grocery/deli that was at 33-12 23rd Ave. since the 1930s into a super-sandwich shop.
He named it Sal (for the employee who had started working for a previous owner at age 8 and stayed with Charlie until dying at 65), Kris (for his wife, who worked the counter and slicers with him) and Charlie (for himself).
Nick mans a slicing machine.
Charlie, who had been in the bakery business, believed that bread was the key to sandwich success. Size, his gut told him, did matter.
It was he who invented the shop's signature, The Bomb, so called because it explodes with fiery flavors in the mouth.
A Sal, Kris & Charlie's sandwich starts with big bread.
The behemoth, which at $9.50, plus tax, is the deli's most expensive, comes "fully loaded" with Italian and American cold cuts topped with American and Provolone cheese, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, hot peppers and sweet peppers.
Oh, yes, don't forget the mayonnaise and vinegar.
John, who has a beard and is rather reserved, and Nick, who is married, clean-shaven and chatty, also got into the family business by accident.
By the time Nick, who is a roast-beef sandwich guy, graduated from high school, Kris was ill, so he stepped in full time to cover for her.
Although she got better, he was doing such a good job that she decided to retire.
"I love interacting with the people," he says.
It has never occurred to him to work anyplace else.
Nick getting the meat out.
John, whose favorite sandwich is the Italian combo, joined him after studying a semester at Queensborough Community College.
He came to help while Charlie was recuperating from an illness and stayed even when Charlie returned full time about a year later.
Through the decades, word of mouth has worked well for The Sandwich King of Astoria: Sal, Kris & Charlie's never has had to advertise or promote itself in any way.
Incoming! All hands to the slicers!
The brothers work the shop with a staff of four. John opens in the morning, and Nick closes at night.
For the most part, they like working together.
The shop is long and narrow like a baguette, which makes it easy for them to get in each other's way when the orders come flying in like artillery aircraft.
Sometimes, Nick says, there are as many curses as cold cuts.
Nick and John, who work six and sometimes seven days a week, don't have much time to think beyond the next sandwich.
There are some things, though, that they know for certain.
Nick says there's no way there will ever be more than one Sandwich King of Astoria shop.
John, who has not heard him say this, says that someday he'd like to expand Sal, Kris & Charlie's.

Big-hearted guests at 46 Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts properties around the world have donated 8,500kg of food, clothing and educational supplies to support disadvantaged families, it was announced this week.
Southeast Asian Mövenpick hotels and resorts collected an impressive 2,276 kilos of much-needed supplies with Mövenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu and Mövenpick Siam Hotel Na Jomtien Pattaya together bringing in over 2000 kilos. Mövenpick Residences Bangtao Beach Phuket, Mövenpick Resort & Spa Karon Beach Phuket, and Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali also contributed to the charity effort.
The generosity is the result of the global hospitality group's successful 2017 'Kilo of Kindness' charity drive, which ran from 1-15 September and asked guests and residents to drop off at least one kilo of supplies to any participating hotel.
"We are overwhelmed by the kind-heartedness of our guests and residents around the world and would like to thank each and every one of them for their generosity," said Craig Cochrane, senior VP of Human Resources, Movenpick Hotels & Resorts. "By donating these essentials, we hope to make a difference to the lives of families in need as part of our ongoing support to the communities where our hotels and resorts are located," he added.

Partnerships and Executive Moves
SRC Names New Board Chairman, Vice Chairman
SRC, a nonprofit research and development company, has named Joseph Corasanti as the new chairperson of its board of trustees.
The company's board also appointed Joan Dempsey as its new vice chairman. Corasanti previously served as the president and CEO of Conmed, a surgical and medical instrument manufacturing company.
In that role, the executive drove strong revenue and earnings growth that doubled the company's sales and stock market value, SRC said.
"I am confident that SRC, under the leadership of Kevin Hair and his team, will continue to provide outstanding products and services that keep America and its allies safe. I am extremely honored to have been selected to lead the board during the next period of growth and innovation for the company," Corsanti said.

Deep ruby red, iridescent with the classic sangiovese transparency. It has aromas of violet, cherry, red currant and raspberry jam with a slight undertone of spice, pepper, leather and walnut. Well balanced and fresh in the mouth, typical finesse and persistence of the north part of Chianti Classico with returns of citrus aromas and a touch of liquorice. Pleasant and medium bodied.
Better paired with grilled white meat as pork chops or a large piece of roast beef. Try it also with seasoned and moderately spicy cheeses.

Allied still in the balance
Updated: 19:00 EST, 5 July 1999
It began with Hugh Osmond's Punch Taverns adding another £75m to its offer for Allied Domecq's 3,500 pubs.
Its new bid of £2.93bn had the added spice of an option allowing Allied's 55,000 investors the chance to accept up to 79m new shares in Bass, which will take up to 650 of the pubs.
That left rival bidder Whitbread, which is offering £1.5bn cash and 135m of its own shares, fuming.
Whitbread's bid was worth £2.88bn at the start of the day but the gap between the two widened as Whitbread fell 16p to 985p and Bass rose 22 1/2p to 963p.
Osmond said he would walk away if he did not get a recommendation from Allied by midnight.
As Allied's directors met to decide which bidder to back, the pressure was on them to say yes to Punch, but the outcome was finely balanced.
Whitbread used Punch's completion date of after September to pour cold water on its claim that the new offer was really worth more.
Whitbread plans to complete on August 2 so Allied investors would lose interest income if they waited until October. Nor would they receive the interim dividend on the new Whitbread shares.
Osmond said his deal was simpler as it did not need clearance by regulators.
Whitbread disputes this. Analysts think Bass boss Sir Ian Prosser has done well. He has kept a low profile but, if Punch wins, he gets the pick of the portfolio.
A Punch victory would leave Whitbread the biggest loser. Questions will be asked whether it picked the right strategic deal and whether it should have expanded its hotels instead.
To help the Allied deal through, Whitbread was prepared to go back on two centuries of history and shed its brewing side.
Punch is 70% owned by US venture capital group Texas Pacific, whose managing director Jeremy Ferris said: 'These are assets you need to stretch for. It's an opportunity we feel very excited about.'
Allied shareholders win because their pubs are going for much more than the £2.5bn Whitbread originally offered.
Allied rose 4p to 624p.

Can you guys bring back the highlighting of a user's own thread? It's really useful to be able to immediately spot your own threads in a sea of other threads.
please give the option for a Light/Dark Legacy functionality to thread titles and page numbers. I like to click on a topic title and see the OP always. I also want thread numbers back at all costs, even if my Legacy request goes unanswered, MobileERA is a bastardized version of the forum at this point without thread numbers.
What do you mean by page numbers, exactly?
I don't love how it is currently, but you can jump to any page on mobile by tapping the "x of y" page number and typing the page you want.
EDIT: Oh, wait, thread view. Yeah, sorry, I agree with you.
This is actually one of the few posters I have interactions with outside of Era and, while I can't speak for what they say in their PMs, based on my interactions with them that ban was definitely not something I expected. I recall them posting some criticism during the whole Entertainment matter that they thought they might catch a ban for (they didn't), but it seems those threads are gone, so I can't judge how similar their tone was then to this post.
I'll echo this sentiment. e: FyreWulff. I know him a little outside of GAF/ERA and he has always been pleasant and reasonable.
Is Resetera keeping anyone else's android screen awake? I'm sure it's triggering something in Edge and Chrome on Android, a media playing flag or something.
Thank you for adding a way to disable avatars on the thread list.
Is it possible to implement the old feature where I can hide all avatars and images?
I'm on Safari Mac and the sidebar on the left side re-opens after I navigate to a new page. I'm sure it's been reported but it's super annoying. Other than that, I'm liking the redesign!
Is there a way to save your toggle width and sidebar preferences? I'm finding it rather cumbersome that I have to re-toggle it every time I close a session.
So are watched threads going to be fixed any time soon?
When on mobile with avatars disabled on the thread page, there is no discernible left margin. The text starts right at the left edge of the screen and it is awkward. There is a right margin after the |< and >| buttons.
The lack of a reload button and the lack of direct navigation to the sections and watched are my main issues now on mobile.
Also the watched page looks kind of strange at the top.
Please fix the era home screen shortcut for iPhones. It loads into a broken and logged out safari page.
Board's been running a lot better today.
Threads from hangouts aren't appearing in my watched threads.
When I click on this thread, it is still taking me to page 7 by default every time.
[ Cross] tag is still broken.
This < word has the tag applied to it but it isn't being hidden.
The forum can get mad laggy at times. I really think this new upgrade is a bit too unoptimized.
Came to post same thing. On mobile chrome. Very sluggish.
Make sure you click on "Staff Posts" in the top of this thread. There's one that lists a workaround for the watched threads issue.
I haven't looked through the entirety of this thread, so not sure if mentioned, but is anyone else having issues with the way the new site looks on iPad? Particularly on Safari and Grazing?
The mobile site running on my iPhone (iOS 12.0) looks terrific otherwise. It would be awesome if the same type of formatting can be carried over to iPad as well.
The staff tag is still broken w/ things like styling, newlines and colors producing raw HTML.
Not gonna celebrate just yet but the sidebars seeming to remember I want it closed on reloads/page loads! Sites running alot smoother to. Some big kinks seem ta have been worked out. Prolly by next week all the fussing'll be solely about design stuff instead of fixing the site itself. This is why patience is key!
Much improved over last few days.
Removed thread avatars. Text now way too close to left edge of screen. Google pixel 2. Android.
Some threads I am watching are no longer in my watch list. If I unwatch and rewatch them, nothing changes.
You may want to Ctrl+F this page for "watched threads". It hasn't even been an hour since the temporary workaround was reposted for at least the third time today.
Is there a way to not have mouseovers on usernames and thread titles?
It is something delta or I will work on fixing tonight as soon as we have the chance.
I'll discuss with the others if we want to keep this or not.
We're aware of this issue, and we're hoping to fix it soon.
The width toggle is not persistent across pages. If I open a new tab or page or come back later, I have to toggle width for each individually. Can we make this a settings option?
Not really a bug, but why the hell is order by "relevance" the default search mode? Do I really have to always use advanced search to sort results by date?
On the desktop version if your mouse stops on a twitter post or even an advert your mouse scroll wheel becomes unresponsive.
Seems weird, might be expected behavior might not.
Are you all working on an option to hide all avatars?
This may have already been asked and answered, and if so I apologize. I can't see anything but the Twitter logo when someone posts a tweet in a thread. And there's nothing to click on to take me to twitter to see it there. Is that something just because I'm viewing it on a phone, or another issue?
Going back to the previous page on mobile is so juddery, loading the massive banner or bazillion different menu elements, I think every which way is struggling. Nothing feels smooth. I don't want to complain too much, early days and hard work but the previous site version was godly even if it lacked some features, can you not streamline it down to something similar based on the new framework so navigating and posting is fast and smooth as butter. I'm not loving this at all.
A bug I noticed is if I post a comment then refresh the page, my post is also in the compose box for some reason.
Just wanted post update on scrolling performance. It's getting better after the changes being made. Hopefully we can get to the point where it's as fast as the old site.
I wonder if some of the performance problems on mobile are related to SVG graphics.
Speaking of the search bar, while searches are functioning for me, it's no longer displaying results by most recent date. This was really crucial for me in the past design and I'd really rather not sort through threads that are no longer relevant from months ago. Hopefully it can be fixed.
I can't see the Gaming forum at all when I am logged in. It reappears when I log out, and disappears again when I log in. This happens on both my computer (Firefox) and my phone (Chrome browser).
The width toggle isn't holding, as others have mentioned. Is that a per-platform thing? Is it reverting to the narrow width because I looked at the site on my phone and then went back to PC?
I'm not sure if this is a bug or just a nitpick, but when I open a thread in a new tab and then switch to it, I can see the entire thread laid out on screen, then the screen goes blank and the page plays back the "loading" animation where it draws in each reply one at a time. That's cool and all, but there's too much of a delay, and it wipes the screen after I've already started reading the OP. If the loading screen is mandatory, have it play out in the background, or leave the page blank until I look at it. It's kind of annoying to see it actually erase the screen and then redraw it just so it can play its fancy animation. Or, give us the option to remove the animation.
Did you accidently ignore the forum? Check your settings.
That was it! No idea how that happened. Thanks!
There's no longer a refresh button on the right-hand side of the screen. It made it really easy to refresh and was a nice feature.
Favicon disappeared from my bookmarks page after the migration. Just a generic "R" in Apple's don't now.
Why is there not a tick box to mark off threads as read/to ignore (just like in watched threads). Having to enter a thread just to ignore it seems really backwards. If ignoring a thread required the tick box, you'd also elimate those weird cases where people ignore the entire forum.
On desktop browsers (both Firefox and Chrome), there is this weird "fade in from the top" effect that happens 2-3 seconds after the page has loaded, if it's your first time viewing a thread (or indeed, a forum index - but those are quickly all viewed and it doesn't happen a 2nd time).
This is quite distracting, please remove at least from new threads.

@Mimi_81 - Topic to think over: I feel w/so many good shows fading, is it still worth keeping up with pagan podcasts anymore? Has the era seen its day? As podcasters, what are your views on the state of podcasting?
on the internet for a little bit and sat there some more… It isn't like I don't have anything to say it is just that I don't know how to put down what I do have to say and if I'd try to record it I would probably just end up babbling about nothing and really, ya'll hear me to that plenty so I'll give it a shot in written form.
Speaking from the perspective of my particular contribution to podcasting I can only say that my recording schedule has slowed considerably this past year and no one is more aware of that than I am. Illness has played a role in delays a few times but my main source of time conflict has become my career. Being a victim of my own drive I guess, I have found that as my work life has become more demanding my spare time has become less plentiful. And I'm not complaining about my career path but the reality is that there aren't enough hours in the day to devote to everything I want to do and I also need to sleep. I need LOTS of sleep. LOL. Still, I do not intend to quit podcasting, although I can no longer promise a weekly show and sometimes I can't even promise a monthly one (as in last summer). But, a monthly show is what I will continue to strive for so long as I feel a pull to hook up a microphone, open my mouth and abruptly insert my foot often enough.
comes a point (or even several) in the life of every podcaster, blogger, writer, creative person in general when you just got nothin. Nothing to say, no ideas, no creative juice, no ponderings of any sort. Or, you are just fresh out of material that you think anyone would find interesting because you can't find any yourself. I know that for me, there are even certain times of year when I am completely uninspired. These past three weeks for instance have been particularly difficult in terms of seasonal inspiration. As someone who draws a great deal of my own creativity from the outdoors, I've hit a wall at winter's end. Or, there are times when emotionally I just don't have the energy. Magically we refer to having "dry spells" and I think in podcasting, like anything else, you can have them too. And sometimes dry spells turn into long periods of nothing and sometimes podcasts just fade because of it.
say that revisiting things can't be interesting but it is difficult to do so and at the same time grow, which is what we all are hopefully trying to do spiritually.
Change. People change and grow. Maybe they grow away from podcasting or maybe they take a different turn in their own path and there isn't a peg that will fit in the podcasting hole. Sometimes these changes can lead to interesting discussion. Other times they are better left unsaid and explored off the air. I tend to share my ponderings and even my doubts because I'm comfortable with them. I don't really care if people know that half the damn time I think I might be an atheist while the other half I believe there is truly magic in the world. It is my life and I'm allowed. Other people might be more attached to whatever persona they have created on air and doubts aren't comfortable to them so they don't want to share them. And again, maybe this is when the voices fade away.
From the perspective of a listener, as I am also a listener of podcasts, time is always a factor as well as content. For all the reasons above, listeners may come, go, leave and come back, or move on. I tend to listen to podcasts while training or driving. If you change your gym routine or your job, your listening habit might get thrown for a loop and forgotten.
perspective of writer, producer and main actor I more times than not feel pressured by my own protestant work ethic as a million other things get thrown my way daily and for me this can lead to creative paralysis.
As a listener I see things downloading and feel the same sort of oh my god not one but three downloads before muttering about how I will never catch up. Information overload either way and it leads me down a road to indifference eventually.
So, what IS the state of pagan podcasting? I mean, for certain there are still a ton of pagan podcasts out there and probably more being thought about, thought up and recording even as I type this. I cannot say that the era of the pagan podcast is over but the rate of new podcasts has indeed slowed and many of my own favorite podcasts have faded at this time. That is not to say that we aren't still out there, morphing into other forums and types of media. Some podcasters blog too and find it easier to do so because there are less time constraints, equipment woes, etc. when time is tight. I enjoy blogging for these reasons and I am also extremely active on my own website as well as Twitter (and Facebook to a lesser extent).
one character develops as over another. We get antsy for something new or we miss the way things were back in season one or we disagree with the writer's perspective or the show just plain old runs its course. So, I guess in podcasting as in television, eventually every show's era must end. Sad yes but how long can zombies really walk around and eat people anyway? Don't answer that.
This is a very timely post where folks are really getting conerned. its amazing how hard it is to keep up the pacing we have setup for ourselves. I also feel that in general we have a serious lack of feedback from our listener base. you gotta work pretty hard to get excited to put in the time it takes to put together a show. research before, recording, editing, scripting often plays a part as does the post end production of most podcasts to their blogs and website. its a mountain of work for the average working person along with extra funds to reserve websites, web space, rss feeds, domain names, etc. The more feedback, community or just emails that a show or hosts gets really makes a difference. ideas for new shows, revisiting old show topics, new content sections etc. youll see a marked difference between those with and without a good solid fan base! This is something we should really talk about!
Interesting post. I must have felt the disturbance in the force this morning because it dawned on me how so many shows have faded. I myself have gone my usual length of time since my last episode, but I'm not done and am really wanting to pick things up *honestly* but energy levels are always an issue for me.
I was looking over the Proud Pagan Podcasters facebook show list to see who was still podcasting and I came across FL's post in response to your post above.
I don't think the era has gone as of yet because there will always be a community for Pagan podcasts. The listeners need them. The leaders need them. The musicians need them.
Like I said, I'm not done. My path has been changing/refining itself in the recent months as I am currently getting involved with a Gardnerian Coven and that can draw a lot of focus. I have also been reading a lot while maintaining my regular responsibilities and loves. I think what I need is a personal breakthrough. E-31 is right around the corner, just need to get there.
What is interesting to me about that particular aspect of it is how varied our lives and careers and other responsibilities are. Our ages vary, our career responsibilities, our personal lives... Yet, the thoughts and feelings seem to be similar.
My path has been changing as well and I know FL mentioned this too. I think for me that is part of what made 2012 a hard year. I have also been trying to wrestle with whether or not to share those changes (and some I already have) and basically ask listeners to walk it with me while I myself am learning and changing or if that is just too personal during the process. Or maybe too boring to others LOL.
This is good discussion though. Thanks for your thoughts Chris!
Ahhhhhh....YES! Over-saturation what a perfect way to describe it. And you are right it can be overwhelming - I am very sensitive to nosie, crowds, etc. Pressure basically - to keep up, to listen, to search for new and interesting podcasts... I think that is why it might be difficult for listeners to contribute too. They must be feeling the same overload.
And, yes, me too. The thing is I just try to remind myself that I'm the quirky, country girl so I will probably never have famous guests (not that Jaysen isn't famous - LOL - just teasing buddy) or the following that some of my friends do.
But, you are right - contribution is enough and enjoying it and getting something out of it for your own creative side (however small that might be in my case LOL) is what is important.

War is Hell, Civilian Life is Worse
This is the first post I've ever reblogged. It's timely, or rather 'past time'ly.
Steve Rose PhD
"the story does not end on the battlefield. For most, the story has just begun." – Jessie Odom
Many veterans struggling to reintegrate back into civilian life report that although war is hell, civilian life upon return is worse. Some veterans see combat as a high point in their life, wishing they could go back to an experience that should have been their worst. This social experience is a suicide risk for the roughly one third of veterans who do not make a successful transition to civilian life.
The social source of this suicide risk for veterans in transition can be illuminated by Elwin Humphreys Powell's concept of 'anomie' in his book, The Design of Discord. Anomie occurs when an individual is unable to derive a sense of meaning or purpose from one's social environment. According to Powell, a central area of life where actors find purposive action is…
How to Read a Poem?
(You may need help.)
The current state of Poetry is that there are a spate of aspirants and a dearth of audience. There is also a spate of hierarchy and a dearth of quality. You needn't read much further to deduce this latter than the current "Best American Poetry 2014". I'm two thirds the way through my reading of it, and I've come across four poems I'd read again, none especially timeless, and yet, nearly to a person their bios detail honors, awards, recipientships, publications, fellowships, and prestigious academic positions up the yin yang. The introductions and bios run for pages and pages. Topically, the poems run the same playlist as People Magazine, Facebook and the tabloids.
So. Here we have me, just one person – some tiny little non-entity, who writes poetry with some small success with a nearly non-existent audience, from a fly-over state, – versus, them, who apparently write poetry with great success and a virtually non-existent audience also! And I find them seriously lame. But who is to know?
In many ways the situation of Poetry has parallels with the situation of Jazz. Each suffers a dearth of (earthly) success, but a spate of aspirants. And the reaction of the general public, to each, is to toss up their hands. However, each, as the years pass, spawn their aspirants and their fanatics.
I mention Jazz because of this piece by Adam Gopnik, (which I am just going to crib shamelessly from the New Yorker), discussing the work of the American Thinker and Sociologist, Howard Becker:
"Tristano taught simple ways of solving puzzles that come up in improvising – for instance, ways of adding flatted fifths and minor ninths to otherwise too familiar chord sequences. "He showed how to create an essentially unlimited set of possibilities to work with as I played through an evening in a bar," Becker recalls. Jazz solos, he learned from his models, were concocted almost entirely "from a small collection of 'crips,' short phrases that can be combined in a million ways, subjected to all possible variations." The lesson that social performance, even of the highest kind, was more a string of crips than an outpouring of confessions remained at the root of Becker's understanding of the way the world works."
Perhaps the reason the majority of poems in the 2014 Anthology seem lame to me, is because I don't understand what these Poets are doing. One Poet, Tony Hoagland, whose poem, "Write Whiter" was included in the Anthology, and who has always seemed to me to be preternaturally discerning, wrote this about his poem in his bio:
"I don't consider "Write Whiter" a great poem, nor an exceptional example of TH's volcanic talent. Someone easily could have written it. However, it defines, like a station of the cross, a place in the conversation we are having; its ticket needed to be punched, and so I punched it." (italics mine)
Perhaps what these poets are doing is playing crips of tunes cribbed from People Magazine and the other 'Glossie' Media. Not being cognizant of the crips – or perhaps being too cognizant of the crips and the source material as heavily clichéd, trite and intellectually shamless leaves me passe' (to say the least). Neither their 'crips', nor their placement of them, hold the charm for me apparently as they do for their true believers.
But what aggravates me no end is of the beautiful sound, rhythm and meaning which is either abandoned or not even considered in order that the included poem and poet become an included part of the current 'conversation'. Most of the beauty (and enjoyment) of poetry is tossed aside, in order to make the secret handshake, pay the coin of the realm, and be taken in by this secretive league of poetry Brahmin. I'm all for social organizations, but not when their bent is to go about ruining art.
Hey! I get indignant.
Or – perhaps I don't understand what Art is? (This realization really chills me…)
(Hey! You don't care.) (smiley face)
…and I just like Beauty.
