Americans gave a record $358 billion to charity in 2014, showing that philanthropy has fully recovered from the recession and surpassed its all-time peak.
The Giving USA Annual Report, published by the Giving USA Foundation and researched and written by the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, said giving increased 7.1 percent over 2013, making the fifth straight year it rose. The 2014 total is the first time giving topped the 2007 inflation-adjusted peak of $355 billion.
About three quarters (or 72 percent) of the giving came from individuals, while 5 percent came from corporations, 15 percent from foundations and 8 percent from bequests. Megagifts of more than $200 million—mainly from tech entrepreneurs—were a significant contributor, the report said.
"The 60-year high for total giving is a great story about resilience and perseverance," said W. Keith Curtis, chair of the Giving USA Foundation and president of The Curtis Group.
He said individual giving is driven by disposable income, household wealth and growth in the S&P 500—and all three improved in 2014.
Individual giving rose 4 percent to $258.5 billion, while bequest giving surged by 15.5 percent to $28 billion and corporate giving jumped 13.7 percent to $17.8 billion.

The largest beneficiary of America's charitable giving remains religious institutions. Giving to religion increased 2.5 percent to $114.9 billion. Yet religion's share of total charitable dollars has been declining over the past 30 years—from 53 percent in 1987 to 32 percent today.
Education was the second most popular cause, increasing 4.9 percent to $54.6 billion. The fastest-growing cause was art and culture, with 9.2 percent growth to $17.2 billion. Giving to health causes increased 5.5 percent to $30.4 billion.

This is a compendium of the Filipino generals, commanders and who fought during the Philippine Revolution, Filipino-American War and the Post-war insurgencies against US occupation of the Philippines. There are 165 generals listed in this article.

General officers

Table Legend

Grade here refers to military, organizational, or leadership rank with regards to the Katipunan movement, governments of First Philippine Republic, and regional Federated states and provincial republics. Second, it also includes guerrilla-structured Post-Republic campaign during the Philippine–American War that includes "de facto" leadership, guerrilla leadership, "cacique" or chieftain leadership. Third,  leaders who are categorized as part of "bandolerisimo" leadership after Brigandage Act of November 12, 1902 (American-influenced Philippine legislature changed status of all Philippine Revolutionary Republican soldiers from enemy insurgent to "ladrones", "bandoleros" or "tulisanes" (bandits and outlaws), effectively criminalizing all resistance activities or revolts) are also described in this section. Fourth, Kolorum (Colorum) leaders and "generals" who heads religious and fanatic based rebel groups are also noted in this section.

Affiliation here refers to support of political fractions or individuals in the Katipunan movement, government of First Philippine Republic, or guerrilla-structured Post-Republic campaign during the Philippine–American War.

Province here refers to provinces or regions within the individual's areas of operational responsibilities.

Addendum
The Philippine American War or "Philippine Insurrection" has two phases. First phase was the conventional military warfare
between two organized armies: The US Forces and the First Philippine Republican Army. This was period was from February to November
1899. The second phase started from November 1899 when the Revolutionary army was dissipated into "guerrilla" -style warfare. This was based on smaller organized units of soldiers and local civilian supporters. Leadership became arbitrary with succession of "generals" and "commanders" based on who was second in command from the hierarchy of the old republic or who has more supporters or people under one's command. The remnants of the First Philippine Republic continued the struggle for independence into local regional and provincial levels as late as 1915.

This package provides a library to implement a strongly typed flavour for CLR <-> Haskell interoperability. It includes an encoding of OOP type system semantics within the GHC Haskell type system.
See the example for what it is currently capable of and how to use it.
CLR member & type names are specified with a type level Symbol, and are expected to be applied via the TypeApplications extension.
Arguments are tupled, so that overload resolution can see the full type up front. Unit is used for argument-less methods.
Method identifier comes first due to type applications.
resultb <- invokeI @"ObjMethodName" object "arg0"
Similarly for static methods. Method identifier again comes first for consistency with instance methods.


Kee Lite® components offer flexibility and can be used for a variety of applications from contemporary to industrial; your imagination is the only limitation. The Kee Lite® solution offers a lightweight and versatile safety solution.
Because Kee Lite® can be easily installed with a hex tool and pipe cutters, there is no need for welding, saving you both time and money. Kee Lite® is securely locked into place using recessed set screws that provide a sleek and smooth look to your railing system or pipe structure.
Kee Lite® fittings are made from high grade Aluminium Silicon Magnesium Alloy (A356-T6) which provide for a lightweight, corrosion resistant, and strong alternative for fabrication of pipe structures.
Due to the superior corrosion resistance, Kee Lite® fittings offer extremely low maintenance in outdoor settings. Kee Lite® fittings are only one-third the weight of our cast iron fittings, with about 75% of comparable tensile strength.
Kee Safety components are approved by TÜV, Europe's leading independent testing house. The maximum load of each fitting type is as stated on the TÜV Certificate. You may download the certificate on the Certifications page.
Are Kee Lite fittings available with alternative finishes?
Kee Lite fittings are available anodized or powder coated to any RAL color requirements on a special order basis.
Does the size of the grub screw matter?
Yes, the size and style of grub screw does matter. The large grub screw with a hardened cup point used in Kee Lite fittings cut into the tube and provides the highest rated slip load in the industry.
What are Kee Lite fittings used for?
The most common applications for Kee Lite fittings is hand rail and guard rail, the contours designed into Kee Lite fittings give a smoother appearance and better look than typical non-welded systems. Various other tubular-structures such as retail store fixtures, soft contained play systems, awning, fencing, machinery framework, can be economically produced with Kee Lite Fittings.
What is a Kee Lite structural slip-on tube fitting?
Kee Lite structural slip-on tube fittings are made from a high grade Aluminum Silicon Magnesium Alloy. Kee Lite fittings are used in conjunction with BS EN 755 Aluminum pipe to build structures of unlimited size and scope. Case hardened grub screws attach the fittings securely around the pipe. There is no welding, drilling, or bolting required when building with Kee Lite fittings. The only tools required for building Kee Lite structures are a pipe cutter and a standard hex key.
The Kee Lite range is a product line that is expanding constantly. Please check our updated online catalog for the current availability.
Which sizes of tube can I use with Kee Lite fittings?
Most types of Kee Lite fittings are available for nominal tube sizes 1" (33.7mm OD) and 2" (60.3mm OD).
How do I install Kee Lite fittings?
Grub screw inserts are available to deter tampering with a finished Kee Lite structure.
What size hex key is used with Kee Lite fittings?
Kee Lite fittings for 1" pipe sizes (6) use a 1/4" A.F. (across flat) hex key. Kee Lite fittings for 1-1/4" to 2" pipe sizes (7 to 9) use a 5/16" A.F. hex key. The ability to use a 5/16" hex key makes building a Kee Lite structure easy and fast.
When constructing with Kee Lite fittings we recommend that you tighten the grub screw to 29 lbs./ft. or 39 Nm. This is approximately "hand-tight." The only exception is size 6 Kee Lite fittings. The setting for tightening the grub screw for this size fitting is 25 Nm ( 19 lb.ft). The theoretical design slip load ( factored ) per grub screw will be around 4.90 KN at this reduced torque setting.
What quality certifications has Kee Lite attained?
The majority of the Kee Lite fittings range are TUV tested and approved.
What type of pipe can be used with Kee Lite fittings?
Kee Lite fittings are designed for use with Schedule 40 or 80 aluminum pipe. View our "Tech Spec" section to the left, or Download a Catalog, for a pipe size chart.
Will Kee Lite fittings corrode if used outdoors?
Kee Lite fittings are Aluminum Silicon Magnesium Alloy (A 356-T6) a highly corrosion resistant alloy. If conditions, require the fittings can be anodized for additional corrosion resistance. Kee Lite grub screws are treated with our Kee Koat® finish to resist corrosion. In Salt Spray test the Kee Koat corrosion resistance was equal to Stainless Steel grub screws in an aluminum fitting. Copies of the salt spray tests available upon request by contacting Kee Industrial Products.
Will the fitting or the grub screw strip tightening to 29 lbs./ft 39Nm?
No, the large diameter grub screws and the British Standard Thread used, along with the alloy of the fitting, give you the correct combination to create a strong mechanical joint between the fitting and the tube.
The latest addition to our Kee Lite portfolio is the creation of a smooth aluminum railing system which is sold pre-assembled so there is limited time and cost required on-site when installing a handrail or guardrail system.
Kee Lite smooth railing is designed to satisfy the guardrail requirements of the US Water Industry and complies with OSHA 1910.23.
Kee Lite smooth railing is constructed from 1 1/2" Schedule 40 aluminium pipe grade 6105-T5, ASTM-B-429 or ASTM-B-221 with Uprights spaced at maximum centers of 6'-0", pipes are joined together with aluminum alloy components and contain no pop-riveted or glued joints. All components are mechanically fastened to the pipe with stainless steel setscrews.
Guardrails and Handrails are designed to withstand a 200lb concentrated load applied in any direction and at any point on the top rail.
Intermediate railings are constructed such that a 21-inch diameter sphere cannot pass through any opening.
Posts shall not interrupt the continuation of the top rail at any point along the railing, including corners and end terminations (OSHA 1910.23). The top surface of the top railing shall be smooth and shall not be interrupted by projected fittings.
The mid-rail at a corner return shall be able to withstand a 200lb load without loosening.
The following are standard Kee Lite smooth Uprights which are designed for a variety of different layouts, other base types are available.

VietPress USA (Nov. 15, 2020): According to Bloomberg, Marc Elias, a prominent Democratic lawyer who's aiding the campaign said: "More Georgians voted for President-elect Biden than voted for President Trump."
He added: "There is nothing that the recount's going to do to change that."
As of late Sunday, 48 of the state's 159 counties have finished their recounting of the ballots with either no change or minor shifts, with differences of fewer than five votes in some instances, the lawyers said. Four counties that have finished their recounts reported having no changes.
As Georgia continues to audit 5 million ballots by hand, president-elect Joe Biden's lawyers have said that the recounting isn't making any substantial difference in the final vote count.

Georgia recount is returning almost no changes in vote tallies that give Biden win
Stuti Mishra
The Independent• November 15, 2020
According to Bloomberg, Marc Elias, a prominent Democratic lawyer who's aiding the campaign said: "More Georgians voted for President-elect Biden than voted for President Trump."
In a historic victory, Mr Biden led Republican President Donald Trump by more than 14,000 votes in Georgia and was projected as the winner in the state by most TV and news networks on Friday, though the Associated Press is yet to call the result. Mr Biden is the first Democrat to secure a victory in the state in 28 years.
Amid the allegations by Mr Trump, Georgia's Republican secretary of state Brad Raffensperger ordered a recounti of all the votes in the state by hand, given the closeness of the results, with the gap between the candidates less than 0.3 per cent. The process is due to be completed on 20 November.
Mr Trump has been alleging widespread rigging and fraud in the swing states he lost to Mr Biden, including Georgia. The Trump campaign has filed several lawsuits to recount the votes, although none of them have yet yielded any favourable results to the Republican.
Earlier, the campaign issued a press release stating four examples where it claimed dead people voted in the election in Georgia.
Mr Trump also tweeted on Sunday that Georgia's "recount is a scam, means nothing." The post was flagged as "disputed" by Twitter.

Oakland - Along with Chinese and Vietnamese Rights groups, worldwide campaign joined and organized by United Nations For a Free Tibet will be held in Argentina, Cost Rica, Emirates, India, Germany, Romania and many other countries on February 8th, to show our solidarity with Tibetans in Tibet.
Kalon Tripa calls for worldwide vigil and said entire Tibet under martial law. In his first official statement on the recent killings of Tibetans in Tibet, Kalong Tripa Dr Lobsang Sangay urged Tibetans and Tibet supporters all over the world to take part in a global vigil on Wednesday, February 8.
In two separate incidents, earlier this week, hundreds of Tibetans took out demonstrations calling for the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and demanding freedom in Tibet. Protests in Drango county, flared up on Monday after local Chinese Public Security Bureau officials arbitrarily arrested Tibetans on suspicion of their involvement in the appearance of leaflets and posters around the town following the wave of self-immolations in the region. The posters had warned of more Tibetan self-immolations if the Chinese government did not listen to Tibetan concerns. Eyewitnesses in the region have confirmed the death of six Tibetans in police firings.
While addressing Tibetans in Tibet, Dr Sangay promised that their sacrifices will not go in vain. He said, "We hear your cries loud and clear. We urge you not to despair and refrain from extreme measures. We feel your pain and will not allow the sacrifices you have made go in vain. You all are in our heart and prayers each and every day."
At this "critical time," we call on the international community to show solidarity and raise our voices in support of the fundamental rights of the Tibetan people, and remind the Beijing government that violence will never address the genuine grievances of Tibetans and restore stability in Tibet. The Chinese authorities should understand that "The only way to resolve the Tibet issue and bring about lasting peace is by respecting the rights of the Tibetan people and through dialogue," said by Dr Sangay.
1. Allow Human Rights groups and International observers to monitor the situation in Tibet.
2. Resume talks with His Holiness Dalai Lama and the Central Tibetan Administration.
3. Allow His Holiness to return to Tibet and grant Tibet a Genuine autonomy within the framework of a Chinese constitution.
The United Nations for a Free Tibet (UNFFT) works to raise awareness of gross human rights violations committed against Tibetans in their homeland by the Communist Chinese Army which has occupied Tibet for more that 60 years. Our mission is to educate the public and to advocate for an end to the oppression and atrocities brought by the brutal Communist Chinese occupation. With over 35,000 members spread across the globe, we are a strong ally of Tibet. UNFFT is registered in the United States as a non-profit 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization.


SWOT analysis is a powerful tool to use as part of the strategic planning process. It allows one to identify strategies that can be deployed to exploit Strengths while mitigating the potential negative impact of Weaknesses. Alternatively, strategies can be deployed that focus on maximising Opportunities while guarding against Weaknesses.
For many the process starts with a strategy planning group SWOT brainstorming to generate a list of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. While this initial list is useful, there is a need to quantify the relative size and strategic importance of each SWOT component, i.e. how does Strength A compare to Strength B.
Our SWOT Analysis Matrix Excel Template allows you to quantify the results of a SWOT analysis across three dimensions and lets you to quickly produce a graphic representation using a MS-Excel bubble chart format. You can quantify (1) the relative size of the Strength or Weakness, etc. (2) its current relevant importance and (3) its longer term relative strategic impact.
A graphic representation of the results of a SWOT analysis facilitates the quick visual assimilation of the key features and highlights of the results.
You can get a package that combines the three SWOT Matrix templates for PowerPoint, Excel and Word at a discount of 30% on the individual prices. You also get a FREE copy of our Strategic Planning Workbook.
PEST (Political, Economic, Social, Technology) analysis is another very useful tool to use as part of the strategic planning process.
From time-to-time there is a discussion on whether it is more appropriate to use SWOT, PEST or both. SWOT focuses mainly on the enterprise in that it considers it strengths, etc. in looking at alternative strategic options.
However, enterprises operate within an overall external environment and very few have the ability to control or change that external environment.
Accordingly, they must take the external environment, e.g. economic outlook, technology evolution, etc., the constraints and opportunities it presents, into account.
PEST analysis, focused on the Political, Economic, Social and Technical environment in which the enterprise operates is a very useful exercise to undertake prior to a SWOT analysis. It provides an excellent backdrop for the subsequent SWOT analysis.
Comprehensive SWOT Analysis Templates User Guide is available to download to check the full details before purchasing!
By using the standard Excel bubble chart format, the SWOT template allows you to present the key results of a SWOT analysis as a graphic matrix.
The framework presented here allows the SWOT results to be plotted in a logical and meaningful way.
Any SWOT internal factor, such as financial resources, management team or market reputation, is in itself neither a Strength nor a Weakness. The availability of substantial financial resources or a strong management team could be deemed to be a Strength while their absence could be deemed as a Weakness. From a graphic representation perspective, a Weakness is a negative Strength.
Thus, this first axis (X-axis) measures the scale or magnitude of the SWOT factor. Each internal factor is identified as a Strength, or a Weakness and each external factor is defined as an Opportunity or Threat and the relative size is indicated on a scale of 1 to 9, 9 being a very large factor and a 1 being a relatively small factor.
All Strengths or Weaknesses are not of equal relevance or immediate impact. The relevance of, say, financial resources is clearly different in a business that requires significant working capital to one that is generating substantial positive cash flows.
Similarly, all threats or opportunities do not have the same current relevance or importance.
The second axis (Y-axis) is used to plot the relevance of each SWOT factor. The relative importance or impact is indicated on a scale of 1 to 9, 9 being very significant impact and a 1 being very little impact.
Items plotted close to the (0,0) are the least significant, either because they are not rated as important or the relevance or impact is very low. Those that are at the extremes of the chart are the largest and are rated as highly relevant.
The size of the bubble indicates the strategic impact of the SWOT factor, the larger the bubble the greater the strategic impact.

Alec Baldwin Responds to Rumors about Not Complying with Rust Investigation
The ongoing investigation into the death Halyna HUTCHINS, late cinematographerThe movement continues on many fronts. Actor Alec Baldwin is one aspect of the whole matter. He was allegedly involved in a case of non-compliance to the Rust investigation, in which he's a person of interest. After the rumors continued to circulate, the actor issued his own statement.
This particular story involves Mr. Baldwin's cell phone, which according to sources has been requested by New Mexico law enforcement through a search warrant. It was allegedly issued around mid-December, at the same time as a subpoena. Another part of the investigationAccording to reports, the actor may have not followed up on said warrant. Through another video that he has shared with his friends InstagramAlec Baldwin addressed these allegations by saying:
One other quick note: any suggestion that I am not complying with requests or orders or demands or search warrants about my phone that's bullshit, that's a lie. This is a procedure in which one state requests another state. Someone from another state can't come to you and say 'give me your phone, give me this.'They must go through the same state as you. It's a process that takes time. They have to specify exactly what they want, they can't just go through your phone and take your photos or love letters to your wife or what have you. I really don't know. But of course we are 1000 percent going to comply with all of that, we're perfectly fine with that. Think about the source and the people who tell you this.
Reading through the portion of the actor's statement presented above, Mr. Baldwin seems to claim that the process of obtaining his cell phone isn't as simple as it sounds. Pledging full cooperation with the investigation, it looks like his point of contention is the method of securing this potential evidence, as well as the scope of what's to be gathered. This is not the correct procedure Alec Baldwin claims to have used, and may or may no be the law.
Last October, during a day of filming on the set of Baldwin's latest film, RustAccording to reports, a prop gun was used. Loaded with live ammunition. During the scene in question, the gun misfired in Mr. Baldwin's hand, grazing director Joel Souza, but fatally wounding Halyna Hutchins. The investigation into the tragic incident has continued to include the entertainment industry. Reacting in its own mannerEspecially through the promise to remove live arms from future productions.
Reacting to The resulting legal proceedings and media coverage.Alec Baldwin is calm and focused. He acknowledges that people have supported him and criticized him throughout the process but he keeps the core of what is happening. He spoke to Ms. Hutchins' memory and included this statement in his overall remarks.
Only truth can bring Halyna Hutchins' death to our collective memory. I insist on, demand that all the investigators do their best to uncover the truth. To honor Halyna Hutchins' death, it is best to uncover the truth.
This legal inquiry is progressing and the truth is exactly what all are trying to find. There's no telling how much longer it will take, or what measures will need to be taken, to get to those definitive answers. All anyone can hope for is a resolution that helps comfort Ms. Hutchins' grieving friends and family, and that a tragedy of this magnitude Repeating the same thing becomes more difficult, if it is not impossible..

This beautiful work by Faye Nangala Hudson shares her Pikilyi Jukurrpa and tells of the home of two rainbow serpents, ancestral heroes who lived together as man and wife 76x61cm 659 Free post Available on our homepage(bio link) Pikilyi is a large and important waterhole and natural spring near Mount Doreen station. Pikilyi Jukurrpa(Vaughan Springs Dreaming) tells of the home of two rainbow serpents, ancestral heroes who lived together as man and wife. The woman rainbow serpent was of the Napanangka skin group, the man was a Japangardi. This was a taboo relationship contrary to Warlpiri religious law. Women of the Napanangka and Napangardi subsection sat by the two serpents, picking lice off them. For this service, the two serpents allowed the women to take water from the springs at Pikilyi. This was because the serpents were the kirda, or ceremonial owners, for that country. The spirits of these two rainbow serpents are still at Pikilyi today. This Dreamings belongs to the women and men of the Japanangka/Napanangka and Japangardi/Napangardi skin groups.

This beautiful small painting by Pamela Walker shares her Janganpa Jukurrpa or Brush-tail Possum Dreaming and relates to the site of Mawurrji 30x30cm 145 Stretched and ready to hang Free post Available on our homepage(bio link) Janganpa Jukurrpa(common brush-tail possum Dreaming) travels all over Warlpiri country. Janganpa are nocturnal animals that often nest in the hollows of white gum trees( wapunungka). This story comes from a big hill called Mawurrji, west of Yuendumu and north of Pikilyi(Vaughan Springs). A group of janganpa ancestors resided there. Every night they would go out in search of food. Their hunting trips took them to Wirlki and Wanapirdi, where they found pamapardu(flying ants). They journeyed on to Ngarlkirdipini looking for water. A Nampijinpa women was living at Mawurrji with her two daughters. She gave her daughters in marriage to a Jupurrurla janganpa but later decided to run away with them. The Jupurrurla angrily pursued the woman. He tracked them to Mawurrji where he killed them with a stone axe. Their bodies are now rocks at this place. Warlpiri people perform a young men s initiation ceremony, which involves the Janganpa Jukurrpa. The Janganpa Jukurrpa belongs to Jakamarra/Jupurrurla men and Nakamarra/Napurrurla women. In Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent this Jukurrpa. Janganpa tracks are often represented as E shaped figures and concentric circles are used to depict the trees in which the janganpa live, and also the sites at Mawurrji.

Q: Can similar charges attract each other? Yesterday my teacher was giving us an introduction to the fundamental forces of nature. She asked why opposite charges attract to each other and similar charges repel each other. This question gave me an idea that similar charges may attract to each other. When I discussed this question with my teacher, she said that yes it can happen, if one of the charged bodies is too big in size in comparison of the other.
This will happen because the larger body will induce an opposite charge to smaller body and they will start attracting to each other.
I am confused with my teacher's explanation and  hoping for help here. Please tell me that is it even possible? and if it is, then please elaborate it in an easier way so I can get my mind out of it.
 Thanks in advance for any help.

A: Your teacher might be referring to this article:
Ball (2012), Nature News: Like attracts like?

The key to Lekner's seemingly bizarre conclusion is that the spheres are electrically conducting. This means that charge can get redistributed non-uniformly on their surfaces. ... When far enough apart, the two spheres do act like more-or-less uniformly charged objects, which repel one another when the charges are alike. But as they get closer, they become polarized: one sphere elicits an image charge in the other by pushing like charge away. At close enough range, the resulting attraction wins out.

A: If you got point chargers, then there are no way two electrical chargers with the same sign attract each other. But if you do not have point chargers but charged bodies (I mean that have volume), each body will have both positive and negative chargers, but if the body is not electrically neutral it will have more of one of the two types of charge. The charge can move inside the body and because of this you can create a separation of charges if you approach one electrically charged body to another. This is for example the principle of charging by Induction.

title: "ADR 1: Decide Tech Stack"
---

CodeCharta needs to analyze and visualize code to facilitate code audits. Many great tools exist that do one of these or both.
If we can, we want to incorporate the analysis tools, because finding new quality code metrics is not something we want to do in the beginning.
On the other hand visualizing code is something we feel very confident about and want to tackle ourselves.
To keep CodeCharta from becoming tangled these two concerns, analysis and visualization, should be separated.
After all, it would be rather embarrassing for a code quality tool to become tangled and then bug-ridden.

# Status

accepted

# Decision

CodeCharta will be divided into two tech stacks and also folders for `analysis/` and `visualization/` that only communicate via .json files.

-   The runtime for the analysis is the jvm. We picked this because java is the main programming language we need to audit and most java metric tools are also written in java.
-   The runtime for the visualization is the web browser. This provides the most flexibility.
-   Many users can try out CodeCharta without having to install anything.
-   It can be incorporated into the web frontends of other code quality tools like Sonar.
-   If we ship a desktop version we can do that as well.
-   The interchange file format is `json`, the file extension `.cc.json`. The browser supports it directly and many libraries exist for the jvm.

# Consequences

Many benefits have already been listed. There are a couple of trade-offs though.

-   We probably have to write and maintain code in two different programming languages
-   The jvm does not have metric tools for all programming languages
-   The web might not be able to provide the performance we need for the visualization.
-   Providing two different stacks for analyzation and visualization is not as user-friendly as providing a single program.


The Basque people have inhabited the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains around the Bay of Biscay in northern Spain and southern France for thousands of years. They are the oldest surviving ethnic group in Europe. It is interesting, however, that scholars have still not determined the exact origins of the Basques. The Basques may be the direct descendants of the Cro-Magnon hunter-gatherers that first lived in Europe about 35,000 years ago. The Basques have prospered, though their distinctive language and culture were sometimes suppressed, giving rise to a modern violent separatist movement.
Much Basque history is still largely unverified. Due to similarities in place names and personal names, the Basques may be related to a people called the Vascones that lived in Northern Spain. The Basques get their name from this tribe. The Basque people had probably already lived in the Pyrenees for thousands of years when the Romans invaded the Iberian peninsula in approximately the first century BCE.
The Romans had little interest in conquering the Basque territory due to the mountainous, somewhat non-fertile landscape. Partly due to the protection of the Pyrenees, the Basques were never defeated by the invading Moors, Visigoths, Normans, or Franks. However, Castilian (Spanish) forces conquered the Basque territory in the 1500s, but the Basques were given a great amount of autonomy. Spain and France began to pressure the Basques to assimilate, and the Basques lost some of their rights during the Carlist Wars of the 19th century. Basque nationalism became particularly intense during this period.
Basque culture greatly suffered during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s. Francisco Franco and his fascist party wanted to rid Spain of all heterogeneity. The Basque people were targeted harshly. Franco banned the speaking of Basque. The Basques lost all political autonomy and economic rights. Many Basques were imprisoned or killed. Franco ordered a Basque town, Guernica, to be bombed by the Germans in 1937. Several hundred civilians died. Picasso painted his famous "Guernica" to demonstrate the horror of war. When Franco died in 1975, the Basques received much of their autonomy again, but this did not satisfy all Basques.
In 1959, some of the fiercest nationalists founded ETA, or Euskadi Ta Askatasuna, Basque Homeland and Liberty. This separatist, socialist organization has conducted terrorist activities to try to break away from Spain and France and become an independent nation-state. Over 800 people, including police officers, government leaders, and innocent civilians have been killed by assassinations and bombings. Thousands more have been injured, kidnapped, or robbed. But Spain and France have not tolerated this violence, and many Basque terrorists have been imprisoned. ETA leaders have claimed numerous times that they want to declare a cease-fire and solve the sovereignty issue peacefully, but they have broken the cease-fire repeatedly. The majority of Basque people do not condone the violent actions of ETA, and not all Basques want complete sovereignty.
The Pyrenees Mountains are the major geographic feature of the Basque Country (map). The Basque Autonomous Community in Spain is divided into three provinces – Araba, Bizkaia, and Gipuzkoa. The capital and home of the Basque Parliament is Vitoria-Gasteiz. Other large cities include Bilbao and San Sebastian. In France, the Basques live near Biarritz. The Basque Country is heavily industrialized. Energy production is important. Politically, the Basques in Spain have a great deal of autonomy. They control their own police force, industry, agriculture, taxation, and media. However, Basque Country is not yet independent.
The Basque language is not Indo-European. It is a language isolate. Linguists have tried to connect Basque with languages spoken in North Africa and the Caucasus Mountains, but no direct links have been proven. Basque is written with the Latin alphabet. The Basques call their language Euskara. It is spoken by about 650,000 people in Spain and about 130,000 people in France. Most Basque speakers are bilingual in either Spanish or French. Basque experienced a resurgence after the death of Franco, and it is now crucial to know Basque to get government jobs in that region. Basque is finally seen as a suitable language of instruction in educational facilities.
The Basque people are known for their interesting culture and occupations. The Basques built many ships and were excellent seafarers. After explorer Ferdinand Magellan was killed in 1521, a Basque man, Juan Sebastian Elcano, completed the first circumnavigation of the world. St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order of Catholic priests, was Basque. Miguel Indurain has won the Tour de France multiple times. Basques play many sports like soccer, rugby, and jai alai. Most Basques today are Roman Catholic. The Basques cook famous seafood dishes and celebrate many festivals. The Basques may have unique genetics. They have the highest concentrations of people with Type O blood and Rhesus Negative blood, which can cause problems with pregnancy.
There are approximately 18 million people of Basque descent around the world. Many people in New Brunswick and Newfoundland, Canada, are descended from Basque fishermen and whalers. Many prominent Basque clergyman and government officials were sent to the New World. Today, about 8 million people in Argentina, Chile, and Mexico trace their roots to the Basques, who emigrated to work as sheepherders, farmers, and miners. There are about 60,000 people of Basque ancestry in the United States. Many reside in Boise, Idaho, and in other places in the American West. The University of Nevada at Reno has a Basque Studies Department.
In conclusion, the mysterious Basque people have survived for thousands of years in the isolated Pyrenees Mountains, preserving their ethnic and linguistic integrity. Perhaps one day scholars will determine their origins, but this geographic puzzle remains unsolved.

10 Things Never to Tell Yourself If You're Trying to Slim Down
Avoid these sneaky weight-loss mistakes, even though they're all in your head
By Linda Melone
Overeating and skipping the gym aren't the only ways to derail your weight-loss efforts: Simply telling yourself certain things could program your brain for failure. "When we consciously make negative statements about our abilities, it gets embedded in the subconscious, which can then control our behavior," says Anandhi Narasimhan, MD, a Los Angeles–based psychiatrist. What's even trickier: Some sabotaging self-talk doesn't sound that harmful! Steer clear of the following common statements to get back on the right mental track.
1. "I always..." and "I never..." All-or-nothing statements, like "I always choose the unhealthiest meal at restaurants" and "I never work out as hard as I should," cause you to do that exact behavior, says Dr. Narasimhan. You feel you can't help yourself, so these become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Dr. Narasimhan suggests instead vowing to "get better every day at achieving my healthy diet and exercise goals."
2. I can't change that I'm an emotional eater. If you reach for ice cream, chocolate or other comfort foods when you're having a bad day, you're not alone. Studies show a link between stress and eating high-fat foods and sweets. The problem: Merely believing "you'll eat a lot or poorly when experiencing a difficult emotion can trigger that behavior," says Dr. Narasimhan.When you're tempted to reach for a cookie after a rough day, tell yourself, "My emotions don't control my behavior. I can choose to be healthy." Then, go for a walk, call a friend or read a gripping novel.
3. I don't have time to follow a healthy diet. Again, tell yourself this, and your subconscious will make your thoughts a reality, says Dr. Narasimhan. This self-defeating talk provides less motivation to spend time on following a healthy diet; hence, no results, says Dr. Narasimhan. "You may fill up your time with other things and not manage time well while continuing unhealthy behaviors." Swap the negatives with this statement: "I will make time to follow a healthy diet. My health is important to me, and I make time for important things."
4. I have to lose (insert number) pounds by (insert month). While this may sound like a great weight-loss goal, setting a certain amount to lose by a specific date can lead to failure and frustration, says Jonathan Alpert, a New York City psychotherapist and author of Be Fearless: Change Your Life in 28 Days. "Instead, set weight-loss goals within a range." For example, strive for seven to 12 pounds within a fixed time frame. This more flexible goal, though still with a deadline, helps eliminate disappointment if it doesn't work out. "Better yet, focus less on the number and more on the feeling you're hoping to achieve," recommends Alpert. For example, aim to be more energetic or flexible, stronger or leaner.
5. I should go to the gym. Telling yourself you "should" do something is passive, rather than action-oriented, says Alpert. Commands such as "I will go to the gym" are more effective, he adds. "And unlike the number of pounds you want to lose, this statement works better when it's specific." For example, "I will take the 6:00 spinning class on Mondays and Wednesdays." This allows your brain to commit to something definitive and makes it harder to simply not go, says Alpert.
6. I lost only two pounds. Dramatic weight loss in reality shows makes it easy to shrug off small increments of progress. Problem is, this sets the standard too high, making any accomplishment not seem good enough, explains Alpert. Recognize that weight loss is a process and more about a lifestyle change. "Change the self-talk to something more encouraging," he suggests. For instance, "I've lost two pounds, which tells me I'm moving in the right direction toward my goal."
7. I had a horrible day, so I deserve this treat. Rewarding yourself this way opens the door for treating yourself every day, says Carole Lieberman, MD, a Beverly Hills, CA, psychiatrist. Can't you find something to label as "horrible" every day? Instead, tell yourself, "I had a bad day, but I can turn it around by sticking to my diet and feeling good. I don't want to ruin my day more by eating something bad for me." Then, buy a new lipstick, get a massage or call a friend.
8. I blew it today, so I'll start fresh tomorrow. Eating a slice of birthday cake at work doesn't have to set the tone for the entire day. "If you rationalize that, since you already spoiled the day, you might as well have something else fattening, it becomes a never-ending downward spiral and 'tomorrow' never comes," says Dr. Lieberman. A smarter response: "I indulged more than I should have, but I'm not going to beat myself up over it. I'll try to make up for it by being extra careful with what I eat the rest of the day."
9. I didn't lose any weight this week, so my efforts aren't working. Progress isn't only about the number on the scale but also about a lasting change to your relationship with food, says Adam Silberstein, PsyD, a clinical psychologist and co-founder of The Source Health and Wellness Treatment Center in Los Angeles. "If you look at not losing weight as failure, you may ask yourself, 'Why bother continuing?'" he points out. When this thought pops in your head, turn it around by saying, "How wonderful that I'm honoring my commitment to eating healthy."
10. I'll start next Monday. Mondays may signal a fresh start and seem like the perfect time to begin a diet. But waiting for ideal conditions to embark on your new healthy lifestyle may keep you waiting forever. "Monday is just an arbitrary time designation," says Dr. Silberstein. "If you miss your Monday marker, it can be viewed as a violation of the 'ideal start time' and serve as an invitation to indulge for another seven days." Combat this by remembering now is a good time to take action. "Even though it's cliché, there really is no time like the present," says Dr. Silberstein.

That looks right out side of Punta del Diablo. Am I right?
yes you are, here are two photos more, on another day, with good cleaner waves and less wind, around 16-18kn, on windguru but I guess there was more if I compare to my first test in France with the same forecasts. I was on the "more power" tuning at the mixer on the wave 8.5 (first proto) and I didn't need it. My wife took the pictures with our cellphone from uowind on the beach, she's not a professional photographer at all (in particular on timing ) .. I have to beg to get some photos.
3/ Upwind was great, i didn't noticed it at the beginning but I saw that I could get quite quickly upwind, close to the lighthouse (see the picture above with the 4.5).That was a good surprise in these conditions.
I was however not very found of the tuning I was using in these conditions The kite was a little too "full" (but I had to test to give feedbacks to Benoit). I prefer the normal setting in these conditions as I was not in light winds at all.
PS: the board works very well (including for paddle surfing). For those who are around Buenos Aires, Mariano is a good shaper and a very nice and trustful person. I will give him some feedback so that he can push forward this shape.
I had a nice session yesterday with the CA Wave 8.5 in what I think was 15-20 knots and small waves + sun, 2h30 in bordshort ... that is a good way to end the year!
I was on the power setting and that worked well -- I did not had this "full" feeling from last time, it is worth adapting the setting to the conditions, very stable, drifts well (wind was completely side) and turns well with some extra power as compared to the 6.5, that makes it a good combo with the 4.5.

I have been using quite a lot the Wave 8.5 lately (nearly everyday for the last 10 days, 8h South of Buenos Aires) and I really like it. It goes upwind without effort, no boost that get you out of your board while surfing, good & smooth turns and drifts vey well. My wind range seems to start around 15 knots (in warm winds and without struggling going upwind) with a low rocker surfboard but not dedicated to light wind (the one I posted earlier in this thread). I really like to loop it while surfing, very nice feeling. It is like the 6.5 with extra-power.
The good news is that the other day I felt the wind was getting stronger. I was well with the 8.5, still having fun and could surf without pb, I was not over-powered at all but I was feeling that it was more windy. I have been travelling in the last months with only a 4.5 and a 8.5 (I am 63 kg) and I thought it will be a good day to test if I could swap the kite to test if the combo overlaps well. Usually, when conditions are good I stay in the water, but my Austrian queen just arrived on the beach and I asked her to land me so that I could test if the CA Wave 4.5 would work as well. I was a little bit on the low end of the 4.5 but I was getting upwind (less than the 8.5 but I was clearly faster). Then the wind got a little stronger and I was full speed and upwind.
For my weight and travelling, this is therefore a good combo, given that in low wind, I usually go paddle surfing. Maybe a 12.5 would be interesting but I still have to test the prototype that Benoît made recently. Hopefully, I'll do this in the mountains when we come back to Europe.
with the little sister 6.5.
The general idea is that it will be my touring / snowkite bag quiver (6.5+12.5) and that the 12.5 could help in good waves below 15 knots (not as a light wind kite but rather a kite that turns well and gives me some extra power as compared to the 8.5 when there is wind but I feel like "walking on eggshells" with the 8.5 (quiver for surf/kitesurf travels: 2 bars + 12.5/8.5/4.5 and a good (local when possible) surfboard.
Now I have to test it and send my impressions to Benoît.
I have one but I didn't tried it yet. I have not reach the upper wind range of my Wave 4.5 yet in waves. I'll be back on the water in one month or so -- maybe I could try the 3m even if for now I am eager to test the wave 12.5 (conditions have not been good yet in Austria where I ride -- flu has not helped as well).
... that was good to test the differences with the 8.5 as the 6.5 was the first designed (the one in the picture is proto zero).
It would be nice to have a review!

The quick tip, if you do not have an expert optician assisting you, is to go opposite of your face shape. The ideal scene is to have an experienced optical expert show you frames that will not only fit your face, but compliment your skin tones and maximize your visual needs and lifestyle requirements. Ideally, a skilled and trained optician would guide you along the way to select not only the best fitting frame that looks terrific as well, but will suggest the lense designs that will optimize your visual needs.

London's Tim Ronalds Architects and local practice Halliday Clark Architects are the only architects left in the running in the contest to regenerate the much-loved, city centre landmark.
Both schemes propose to convert the 1930s Renaissance revival building, which closed as a cinema in 2000, into a live performance space.
Hackney Empire-mastermind Tim Ronalds wants to turn the landmark into a 4,000-person capacity venue and has teamed up with local businessman Lee Craven under the 'Bradford Live' banner.
Craven told the AJ he expected the project to cost between £15–19million, but added that the teams had not yet had full access to the building to assess its condition.
The other proposal comes from the Bradford One team featuring local firm Halliday Clark which has proposed transforming the cinema building into a 'multipurpose cultural venue and centre for creativity and enterprise'.
A rival scheme by Rance Booth Smith, with Turley Associates and Rex Procter Partners, to transform the cinema into a public pool and indoor running track was withdrawn earlier this year (see below).
The council will make a final decision on the proposals by November.
Earlier this year Rance Booth Smith with Turley Associates and Rex Procter Partners revealed plans to transform turning the former 1930s cinema into a public pool and indoor running track as part of its ambitious £30 million 'City Reflections' vision.
The move leaves a pair of similar expressions of interests on the table - both of which want to convert the Renaissance revival building, which closed as a cinema in 2000, into a live performance space.
The other proposal comes from the Bradford One team featuring local firm Halliday Clark Architects which wants to transform the Odeon into a 'multipurpose cultural venue and centre for creativity and enterprise'.
Councillor David Green, leader of Bradford Council, said he was 'delighted' that there were 'two viable proposals that could now go forward to the next stage.
'What we offer the city is a focal point, an exciting new cultural venue in the heart of the city centre, next to City Park. At its heart will be a refurbished auditorium, restored to its original size and with a capacity that places it in the right place in the north of England's touring circuit for live music and other entertainment. The exact size of the auditorium will be determined by the next phase which will include a detailed market analysis and could be anywhere between 1500 and 4000.
'Around this new space will be café bars, restaurants and retail units that can both service people attending events in the auditorium and local people looking for refreshment and a unique view of the city centre. It will also include a smaller venue (capacity 300-350) run in partnership with Bradford College that will host smaller music gigs, theatre, comedy etc.
'As it is our intention to retain as much of the existing building as possible, we're limited to some extent in how high we can place 'design' on our agenda. But of course we will be trying to create a venue that engages and excites local people and visitors alike. So, in terms of any criticism about how 'safe' our plans are, I would ask people to judge them when they are a little more developed. At the moment we are simply trying to convince the Council that our plans are financially viable and sustainable.
'[Our plans] are precisely what Bradford needs. Leeds Arena is a large venue that serves the entire Leeds City Region and is likely to attract the large touring acts. We are clearly not trying to compete in this market. However, we are informed that at around the 1800 to 2000 capacity Bradford does not possess a venue capable of attracting touring bands. While St George's Hall does provide a venue of this size, it is not popular with promoters for a variety of reasons.
'Our aim is to create a something that breathes new life into a much-loved old building, creates a buzz in Bradford city centre, reflects the spirit of City Park and provides employment and a much needed stimulus to the city centre economy.
'The key issue about the conversion is the viability of the project. We cannot expect any ongoing public subsidy to keep the building open: it has to earn its keep, which means it has to be run on a commercial basis by an established and experienced operator.
'Large amounts of money will be needed to fund the conversion work. Tim Ronalds has always argued that a scheme that takes the building back to its original built form, in terms of basic structure, is the most cost effective solution; and fortuitously, this basic form comprises the original very large auditorium space, which from a commercial point of view is the most attractive form in any case.
'The building offers a unique backdrop to the City Park, with the space between the towers useable for a large LED screen or projection, thus animating the public space, but without overpowering the building.
'[With regard to the plans being branded 'safe'] I'm not quite sure what is meant by that word. It is risky for the building to be used in a significantly different way to what was originally intended. We're trying to keep alterations to the main fabric of the building to a minimum. But the architecture of the building, we feel, speaks for itself, and if any one building can come to symbolise Bradford this is the one.
'With regard to Bradford needing another venue, our proposal does not pitch the venue against The Alhambra - which of course is a theatre - and rather than threatening St George's, it would allow this Victorian venue to concentrate on its strengths, such as its excellent natural acoustic. At the moment, St George's is trying to do too much and accommodate shows - mainly amplified pop and rock shows - that it is not suited for. Its capacity is limited and its seating comfort well below modern standards.
Bradford Council has received three formal bids from teams vying to regenerate the city's abandoned Odeon cinema.
The most audacious vision for the empty 1930 landmark, which was almost flattened to make way for a Carey Jones Architects-designed office development, comes from Saltaire-based Rance Booth Smith Architects.
The practice, working with Turley Associates and Rex Procter & Partners, has proposed turning the former cinema into a swimming pool as a part of an ambitious £30 million 'City Reflections' vision, which includes a 160m indoor running track.
Meanwhile, Hackney Empire-mastermind Tim Ronalds Architects has teamed up with local businessman Lee Craven under the 'Bradford Live' banner in a bid to convert the building into a 4,000-seat music venue.
The third proposal has come from the Bradford One team featuring local firm Halliday Clark Architects which wants to transform the Odeon into a 'multipurpose cultural venue and centre for creativity and enterprise'.
Those progressing to a second stage will be announced in March.
The £19 million scheme to convert the derelict venue into a 3,500 music venue is the second speculative proposal to come forward for the site after controversial plans drawn up by CareyJones, which would have seen the landmark demolished, were scrapped in September (AJ 21.09.2012).
Community group Bradford One - an early frontrunner to take over the semi-derelict plot - has already laid its cards on the table with plans by locally based practice Halliday Clark to convert the city centre cinema into a performing arts institute (read more here).
Tim Ronald's new concept for the unlisted, William Illingworth-designed building has the backing of Lee Craven, a Bradford textile manufacturer, who wants to find a 'viable future' for the cinema which has been empty since closing in 2000.
Practice found Tim Ronalds told the AJ: 'Craven is in discussion with several commercial venue operators. The capital funding will rely on a combination of private and public sources: 'prudential' borrowing against operating revenue, and government and European grants. It does not rely on any funding from Bradford City Council.
He added: 'Our scheme keeps the building as it is - it does not propose total restoration or to convert the building into something else. Its form, with its fan shape and sloping floor is very well suited to a modern music venue.
CareyJones beats Studio Egret West and Dyer in the developer-led contest to overhaul the former cinema n the heart of Will Alsop's ambitious city-centre masterplan. A start date of spring 2007 is pencilled in.
Bradford councillors narrowly vote in favour of CareyJones' £35 million New Victoria Place project – the Leeds-based practice's fourth design for the cinema site – which would have housed offices, a 100-bed hotel, bars, cafés and community leisure space around a central square. The approved scheme is a third smaller than previous proposals.
Newly elected Respect MP George Galloway appeals to architects and structural engineers to help retain 1930s landmark due to be replaced by Carey Jones scheme. The MP for Bradford West, demands the much-delayed plans to knock down the much-loved Odeon building are abandoned.
David Green, leader of Bradford Council, tells the BBC there is 'a blank sheet of paper' for new plans following the decision by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), the building's owner, to tear up the development agreement with developers Langtree Artisan. The HCA has since offered to sell the building to the city council for £1.
David Green, leader of Bradford Council, told the BBC there was 'a blank sheet of paper' for new plans following the decision by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), the building's owner, to tear up the development agreement with developers Langtree Artisan.
The now–rotting 1930s landmark was due to be flattened to make way for a £35 million commercial scheme by the now defunct northern office of Carey Jones – a contentious development that finally secured planning in 2009, three years after the firm won the design contest to overhaul the city-centre plot (AJ 15.08.2006).
However due to continuing uncertainty about the future of the proposed project and the failure by Langtree Artisan to sign the section 106 agreement the HCA terminated the deal and said it would now be looking at 'other means of securing a commercially viable outcome for the site that meets the regeneration objectives of the Council and the people of Bradford'.
It is understood Langtree Artisan wanted more time to market the scheme to potential occupants and was unwilling to signed the section 106 agreement which would have forced the developer to flatten the city centre building within eight months even if it was unable to start building its replacment (see full statement attached).
David Curtis, the HCA's executive director for the North East, Yorkshire and The Humber, said: 'Since assuming ownership for the building a year ago, we've been working hard to look after the building, remove potentially fatal asbestos and resolve the complex legal issues surrounding the plans for its future.
'We know the Bradford public has been frustrated at the uncertainty surrounding the building – and we've been frustrated too. When it was clear that the developer wasn't prepared to meet the obligation to commence with the New Victoria Scheme we decided to terminate the agreement.
The move has been welcomed by local campaign groups which have been battling to save the building from demolition since the Odeon's closure in 2000. It is also good news for Shipley-based practice Halliday Clark Architects which has been working on alternative plans for a new Bradford Institute of Performing Arts for the site for the last two years.
The rival plan would retain large chunks of the building, inclduing the iconic towers, and would house office space and potential a home for Bradford's library which is currently closed.
Earlier this year George Galloway pledged as part of his election campaign to try to save and restore the 'iconic' cinema and called its current boarded-up state a 'disgrace' (see AJ 05.04.2012).


What Happens When You Switch Your WordPress Theme?
WPBeginner» Blog» Beginners Guide» What Happens When You Switch Your WordPress Theme?
Have you ever wondered what would happen if you switch your WordPress theme? With so many beautiful WordPress themes available, it can be tempting to switch to a better looking theme. While it is mostly safe to switch your WordPress theme, there are few things that you need to keep in mind. In this article, we will answer the question: "what happens when you switch your WordPress theme" and things that you need to do to make sure that your site works properly after the switch.
It's extremely important that you create a complete WordPress backup when you are making a major change like switching themes, installing plugins, or importing/exporting data.
Before activating a new WordPress theme, you should preview it to see how it will affect your site. WordPress allows you to install and preview themes without activating them.
Simply install a theme and click on the Live Preview button under that theme.
When previewing your theme, you should take notes on things that the new theme will affect. Browse your site's main page, single posts, individual pages, and archives. See how the new theme handles things differently.
Now you need to decide whether you can easily adjust the new theme to retain the features of your old site that you want to keep.
For more detailed instructions, check out our guide on how to properly switch your WordPress theme.
Having said that, let's take a look at what happens when you switch to a new WordPress theme.
WordPress comes with a built-in navigation menu system. Each WordPress theme defines theme locations where menus are displayed.
That's why when you switch your WordPress theme, there will be new menu locations.
The menu you previously assigned to a theme location will need to be reassigned.
Simply go to Appearance » Menus. Next, select the menu you want to use and then check the theme location where you want menu to be displayed.
See our guide on how to add custom navigation menu in WordPress for detailed instructions.
Widgets allow you to easily place different elements in your WordPress theme's sidebars. When you change your WordPress theme, similar to menus those sidebars are replaced by the new theme's sidebars. This will automatically deactivate your active widgets.
Note that some themes will automatically show default WordPress widgets. But any widgets with customizations will be placed under the inactive widgets section.
You can still use those widgets and add them back to your sidebars.
See our guide on how to import/export widget settings in WordPress. Also check our list of the most useful WordPress widgets for your site.
Each WordPress themes come with different customization options. In fact, there are some WordPress themes that come with tons of customization options controlled by their own theme options panel.
These settings may include your site's logo, favicon, header, background image, etc. All of these settings will disappear when you switch to your new WordPress theme.
If made a list of changes, then you can probably try setting those things up in your new theme. However, it is possible that your new theme may not have all the features that your previous theme had OR that it may have more features than your previous theme.
In most cases, these settings do not affect your site's performance on search engines. The impact of losing those settings will not be that significant. However, some themes bundle SEO settings in their theme options panel. In that case, you will need to transfer SEO settings with SEO data transporter.
Some WordPress themes (Not the ones in official WordPress theme directory), cross their intended functionality and jump into the plugin domain.
This means that these themes start offering functionality that is not related to the appearance of your site. Functionality like creating custom post types, custom taxonomies that can be used to display content like portfolio, testimonials, etc.
When you change your WordPress theme, these custom post types and taxonomies would become inaccessible. They will still be stored in your WordPress database, but you would need to do additional customization to display them in the new theme.
See our guide on how to import and export custom post types in WordPress.
Many WordPress themes offer an easy way to add sliders on different sections of your website. These sliders will disappear when you switch the theme.
This is why we recommend our users to use a reliable plugin to add sliders to their WordPress site. Take a look at our comparison to find the best WordPress slider plugin.
Shortcodes provide an easier way to bring functionality into WordPress posts and widgets. Many WordPress themes come with an extensive set of shortcodes to add buttons, galleries, sliders, column layouts, etc.
When you switch themes, all theme specific shortcodes will be disabled.
This will result in your shortcode code appearing as text inside your posts. Unfortunately there is no easy way to just click a button and import shortcodes from your old theme into your new WordPress theme. However, you can find and remove unused shortcodes from WordPress posts.
Your WordPress posts and pages will be unaffected by the theme switch. However, depending on how your old themes displayed posts, images, attachments, and pages, they might look a little different on your new theme.
All your media uploads will be unaffected by the theme switch. However, many WordPress themes come with their own image sizes for featured images and thumbnails. You may need to regenerate image sizes after switching the theme.
The default WordPress settings located under Settings menu will also remain unaffected.
We hope this article helped you learn what happens when you switch your WordPress theme, and you are better prepared for the transition. You may also want to see our list of 15 things you must do before changing WordPress theme.
Hi, I just changed themes from Envo to Astra. The transition has been smooth so far but I got on the main menu the items I had on the Envo theme plus the items on the Astra menu so I have two home tabs one says original and the other has the URL of my website. Out of these two which one should I keep on the menu? or doesn't matter?
That is a question of personal preference on which you should keep.
First of all Thanks to Your Team. Because of Your Inspiration, I Made a Website. I Am using Hestia. but after a few days, I just randomly check the theme editor. There are 13 theme errors. I want to fix them. I saw ur comment above. But my question is what if I completely remove the theme and reinstall it will I lose all my settings of that theme? Or is there any safe way to fix those errors? Anyone Can help me?
And what if I just need to reinstall the same theme ? Would all settings and content stay ?
Depending on the theme the styling may change but your content should remain.
Seems like so much is going to disappear. I am rethinking my decision of changing my theme now.
When doing this i seem to loose my "portfolio" does anyone have any tips on how to ensure this doesnt happen?
up in the backend editor Deleting project content and entering in new data also does not make a difference.
It seems like you are using a page builder plugin. Please contact your theme developer for support and they will be able to help you out or contact the page builder plugin's support for help.
My question is, what happens to my old theme when I install the new one?
Can I adjust the new theme without it being live?
Your old theme will be inactive but it will remain installed on your website unless you delete it. You can click on the preview button to see a live preview of the new theme on your website.
I use the Twenty Ten theme since I started my site in 2013, I already have 5 years of website! But now I see that it's important to have a responsive, fast, and friendly topic with SEO. I tried to do a test with the Twenty Sixteen theme, it worked well apparently, but when I looked at the analytics report, I realized that I did not have a visit any more, I tried to access my page through the phone and I saw in the analytics real-time visualization tool that my visit came, so I do not know what might have caused it and what should I do? Grateful for the attention.
If i change theme, and things disappear in the new one, how i can clean up the mess and start again fresh since I am deep progress through the old one. Thank you.
How does changing themes impact the SEO rankings for single page posts, provided I am using permalinks?
It actually depends on your WordPress theme. If it follows the WordPress coding best practices than there will be no impact on SEO. If it is slower or faster than your previous theme, uses some poor design practices, have bad user experience, then these kind of things may also have a slight impact on your SEO.
It will retain all its settings.
Useful article thanks. A lot of our WordPress clients think that changing theme is as simple as clicking a button and don't realise that it can actually be days of work due to the theme-specific shortcodes, layouts, widgets etc. This is a good overview of the implications of changing theme.
And some fine day, the "preview" button will actually output a result that matches what you'll see when the theme has actually been switched.
Thank you so much for this great, detailed article. I will feel much more confident doing my upcoming theme change now! I'd been putting it off for too long. You guys rock!


On behalf of StachlerHarmon posted in business law on Friday, June 2, 2017.
The continuing war between one of the world's most powerful combines and a well-financed up-and-comer has yet another casualty.
Anthony Levandowski who came to Uber to head the company's self-driving automobile development was fired on May 30. The star engineer, according to many in the industry, has been plagued with accusations of stealing trade secrets after resigning from Google.
Google is considered a pioneer in autonomous car technology, getting a heard start that goes back nearly a decade. They have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on a division now run through Waymo, a subsidiary of their parent company, Alphabet.
After leaving his former employer, Levandowski launched his own company, Otto. Uber acquired the start-up for $680 million last year, mostly in company equity, in exchange for Otto's technology and team of experienced engineers. He and his staff would also receive a small percentage of profits from Uber's self-driving trucking business under Levandowski's direction.
That nine-figure transaction is a pivotal issue in a high-profile lawsuit between Uber and Google.
It only took a few months for Waymo to sue Uber over trade secrets stolen from Google to develop Uber's self-driving vehicles. Waymo claims that Levandowski played a key role in the plot.
Uber has continually denied Google's accusations. However, Levandowski made himself a liability when he asserted his Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination following a federal judge's order to hand over evidence and testimony. After months of pressuring him to cooperate and after he missed an internal deadline to relinquish the information, Uber fired him.
The dismissal of Levandowski underscores the risks of the emerging star engineering culture that leads to sudden enrichment for a few people. They have made self-driving cars, once thought of as fodder for movies set in the future, a reality.
Uber CEO Travis Kalanick claims that the future of his $70 billion ride-hailing company depends on cars without drivers. Yet, navigating through that new era of transportation requires everyone involved to avoid the potholes and stay on the straight and narrow.
