Roger Pearson's "The Greek Face" completely debunked.
Roger Pearson is a neo-Nordicist writer and founder of two peer reviewed academic journals known as Mankind Quarterly and The Journal of Indo-European Studies. I for one do not consider those journals to be necessarily bad, even though both (and in particular Mankind Quarterly) have come under heavy attack by the more politically correct mainstream. Pearson himself is a known eugenicist and racialist; however he has not contributed to or edited either of those journals in decades, and both journals have featured plenty of accredited and prestigious anthropologists and linguists such as J.P. Mallory.
However, I do have a particular problem with an article by Pearson titled The Greek Face made back from 1974 which I continue to see surface and referenced on the web from time to time. Unlike Pearson's early delves into racial history where he simply re-tells (literally word for word) old Hans F.K. Guenther fantasies, this article attempts to reference the actual scientific work of other well respected anthropologists and scientists who have studied the question hands on. The article made by Pearson concerns the racial affiliation of ancient and aristocratic class Greeks, and he focuses primarily on the Eupatridaes of ancient Athens. The problem with the article is Pearson completely distorts and outright lies about the sources he attempts to use to support his Nordicist premise.
Pearson's premise can be basically outlined as follows.
1. The Proto Indo-European speakers lived in the North Pontic Steppe region, and thus Indo-Europeanization of Greece happened during the Bronze age.
2. The populations who Indo-Europeanized Greece had full genetic continuity with the Proto Indo-European speakers.
3. The Eupatridaes of classical Athens had full genetic continuity from the populations who Indo-Europeanized Greece, while the commoners of Athens and Greece in general were not descended from them at all or very little. Thus there was a racial caste system in classical Athens amongst the Athenians themselves.
I'll start right off by saying premise 1 which was originally put forth by archeologist Marija Gimbutas is still very much up for debate. Regarding premise 1, I certainly wont delve into that question in this blog entry since I nor really anyone else at the moment has any hope in either outright refuting it or outright proving it. Also, since the anthropologists Pearson attempts to use as sources [in Particular J. Lawrence Angel] followed that model of PIE homeland and timescale breakdown, I'll just comply with it for the sake of making a long story short. But lets deal in particular with premises 2 and 3 since they deal with biological and not linguistic matters. Let's firstly deal with Premise 2.
Pearson writes
"Several attempts have been made to discuss the physical anthropology of Greece from the point of view ol the available skeletal evidence. Some early references were made by pioneers such as Ripley (1899), Schuchhardt (1926), and J.L. Myres (1930). More recently Coon (1954) and Angel (1944, 1945, 1946 [a] [b]) have added considerable information. In his most recent work on the subject, a detailed analysis of the numerous skeletal remains found in different cemeteries in the excavations at Lerna, Angel (1971) concludes that the immigrant Hellenic or Indo-European population reflected a 'Nordic' type which probably arrived from the Danubian area, and also a related 'Iranic' type. This latter appears to reflect a separate Indo-European invasion from the direction of Anatolia, although Angel assumes that both these related types originated ultimately from the area of the Pontic steppes."
Now this is what I call a blatant distortion. Angel believed that the Indo-Europeanizers of Greece were partially descended from North Pontic Steppes populations. However, Angel also said that they had morphological overlap and genetic heritage from "Balkan mountain peoples" and Near Eastern "Iranians"!
The real quote from Angel (1971)
"My subjective and extremely speculative survey suggests that origins of the population were mostly local, derived from the Neolithic and later pre-Greek populations, with the Near East and Upper Paleolithic Central and Eastern Europe as ultimate sources. But altogether too sketchy data for the period before 2,000 B.C. Plus an analysis of the Middle Bronze Age do suggest a double intrusion of peoples who must have introduced Indo-European languages : from the east (originating in Iran and the steppe country) and from the north (also originating in the steppe country and from among Balkan mountain peoples)."
So according to Angel the North Pontic Steppes was not the only genetic source for the earliest Greek speakers, but also the Near East and the Balkans.
Another thing, in Angel's taxa system they were not morphologically "Nordic" as Pearson's lies claim they were. They were a morphological mix of Nordic-Iranian, Eastern Alpine, European Alpine, and Dinaroid. As the very next sentence from Angel states.
"They seem to have been themselves mixed and newly forming groups, and they produced slight trends in Nordic-Iranian plus Eastern and European Alpine and Dinaroid directions."
Pearson also lies and makes silly and unfounded "racial purity" claims about the early Indo-European Greek speakers when he says this.
"In the course of some five or six millennia of expansion and conquest, an expanding IE upper caste may undoubtedly have preserved a high degree of genetic continuity, while simply superimposing itself upon the autochthonous populations."
How can he make such a claim when that was proven wrong by his own scientific source? Maybe I need to paste the the quote from Angel again.
Key words : "mixed" and "newly forming". So the earliest Greeks certainly weren't undiluted remnants of the alleged Proto Indo-European Steppe populations, they only had partial ancestry from them. The point is the earliest Greeks didn't just develop their own unique culture and dialectical language from the Proto Indo-European culture and language (which would have preceded them by thousands of years) they had formed their own new and distinct genetic identity as well, and were sitting on a land pretty distant from the North Pontic Steppe. These early Bronze age Greeks then in turn mixed with and Hellenized the remainder of Greece soon forming Mycenaean and much later Classical Greek culture and genetic identities.
SOURCE for Angel's analysis (same sourced used by Pearson) : Angel, J. Lawrence, 1971, The people of Lerna; analysis of a prehistoric Aegean population (page 111), American School of Classical Studies, Athens.
Now as far as Premise 3 is concerned, Pearson states that the Eurapatrids in classical Athens would have been a racially distinct caste compared to the commoners based on supposed "Indo-European derived ancestry" (whatever that means) as compared to non Indo-European derived ancestry for the commoners.
"From the point of view of physical anthropology the ethnic complexity of Greek society during the first millennium B.C. prohibits any attempt at a generalized statement of physical type based upon statistical averages of data derived from the available skeletal material. Substantial caste-like stratification, accompanied by relatively strict principles of caste endogamy separated the Indo-European-derived Eupatrids from the freemen and slave classes among whom the genetic influence of the autochthonous 'Pelasgian' population may have predominated. In addition the persistence of cremation among so very many of the aristocratic families from the time of Homer to well into the Classical period destroyed much of the physical evidence concerning this latter strata."
Firstly Pearson is somewhat misguided in saying that the freemen and slave classes in classical Athens would have descended from an autochthonous 'Pelasgian' [ie pre Greek] genetic strata. As Angel (1944) himself points out
"The Mycenaean blend seems to be fundamental in all later Greek populations down to the present day. Its formation was principally absorption of Middle Bronze Age intrusive strains by the pre-Greek racial substratum."
SOURCE : Angel, J. Lawrence, 1944, A racial analysis of the ancient Greeks: An essay on the use of morphological types, American Journal of Physical Anthropology
Angel deduced based on skeletal analysis that the Mycenaean racial blend was a mixture and synthesis of a pre Greek [ie Neolithic and often called 'Pelasgian'] and intrusive Bronze age genetic strains (from the North and East) which brought Indo-European speech to Greece. Not only that, but the Mycenaean racial blend was still the fundamental blend of the later classical Greek population whom Pearson is talking about. It's important to note that Angel's skeletal analysis here is not on aristocratic Greeks, so the commoners in classical Athens would have been a mixture of the two genetic elements, and so would have not descended only from the Neolithic pre Greek genetic strata. Weird how Pearson sources this same study from Angel but he seems to ignore that, maybe because it doesn't fit his race fantasies? Ehh, who knows.
Pearson is correct in pointing out that by the time of Classical Greece the Athenian aristocrats practiced cremation (strangely, this is very different than the "Kurgan mound" burial method of the alleged Proto Indo-European Steppe populations practiced) and that any known physical remains of them are scanty. However, even John V. Day is forced to admit that nearly a thousand years earlier in Mycenaean times that the Greek aristocrats were racially similar to the commoners. Unlike the Classic era Athenians, The Mycenaean Greek aristocrats didn't practice cremation, they buried their dead in Shaft Graves. Not only does John V. Day give a summary of Angel's analysis of them (who hypothesized based on the data he had they were racially similar to the commoners), he also sources a more modern multidimensional cranio-metric analysis of the Mycenaean aristocrats as compared to the commoners of the Bronze Age.
"On balance though, he attributes their size to a diet with plenty of meat and (as their teeth show) to good health, and to upwardly mobile rulers usually being larger and stronger than average (Angel 1973:386-7, 393;ef Xirotiris 1979a: 78; 1979b: 166). Angel concludes that 'except for their greater size and muscularity they differ from their subjects only in having relatively lower heads, probably relatively longer heads, and perhaps longer noses and more projecting mouths' (1973:393). Others have tested Angel's hypothesis that the nobles in Grave Circle B resemble their subjects. Musgave and Evans carry out a principal component analysis on the Mycenae Grave Circle B series and 15 other eastern Mediterranean series [firgure 2.2]. Because Grave Circle B clusters so well with the two Early and Middle Bronze Age Greek series. Musgrave and Evans argue that 'these Bronze Age Greeks from Attica and the Argolid belonged to a single, homogeneous population.'"

So, how can Classical era Ancient Athenian aristocrats descend from a distinct racial caste which genetically derive from the (supposed) Proto Indo-European steppe groups when we know
A. The Indo-Europeanization of Greece dates back at latest to the beginning of the second millennium B.C. [ie around 2,000 B.C. at latest].
B. J. Lawrence Angel who followed Majira Gimbutas' theory of the PIE homeland and timescale breakdown already believed the earliest Indo-European speakers in Greece were genetically descended in partial from not just Steppe groups but also Balkan mountain people and Near Easterners. Thus the earliest Indo-Europeans around the Aegean did not have complete genetic continuity from the alleged Proto Indo-Europeans of the North Pontic Steppe, only partial. The Proto Greeks were genetically "mixed" and "Newly formed".
C. The Mycenaean Greek racial blend itself didn't have complete genetic continuity with the earliest Greeks / Indo-Europeans around the Aegean, only partial. It predominated in all later Greeks and itself was just a synthesis of Proto Greek / Indo-European Bronze age intrusive strains with a Neolithic [pre Greek/'Pelasgian'] genetic substratum.
D. The earliest Greek elites known are from the Mycenaean era and are proven to cranio-metrically tie to the commoners of the early and Middle Bronze Age.
E. Classical Athens post dates Mycenaean times by nearly a thousand years.
As we can see, Pearson is just a non objective, non empirical, pseudo scientific, dishonest and distorting ideologue. I think discrediting him by just shouting "Nordicist" or "Neo Nazi" is weak, but the proof is in the pudding that anything he says on the racial history of any ancient people is not to be taken with vigilant skepticism.
Enough of the science, my two cents
There exists 0 evidence that the upper classes in ancient Greece differed in race from the commoners, certainly none in classical Athens. The remainder of his article he just posts pictures of busts of Athenian aristocrats as compared to people who were not of aristocratic birth. The funny thing is, other than Socrates, Archilochus, and Menander... none of the people whom he considers "non Indo-European" and "racially distinct" from the Athenian aristocrats are even Greeks! A Phoenician named Zeno, an Ethiopian named Memnon, a Cilician named Chrysippus, some crappy picture of some Anatolian slave named Aesop. And in my opinion Archilochus and Menande look fine among the Athenian aristocrats, they could fit right in. Menande would just have to grow some facial hair. Only Socrates who's physical ugliness was well documented looked strange. Generally upper classes of any people are finer featured and better looking than the average population. Socrates was homely, so what? I don't see the "racial caste system" Pearson is conjuring up.
Now, looking elsewhere the ancient Spartans did eventually turn themselves into a master caste in the Peloponessus after they had conquered the Messenians in the Messenian Wars, enslaving the bulk of Messenians turning them into Helots. But this didn't happen until about the 8th century B.C. Also these differences would have probably been more 'ethnic' as the Spartans descended from Doric Greeks who had first entered the Peloponnese during the Greek dark ages, while the Messenians were of earlier pre Doric Greek stock. I doubt there was much bigger racial difference between those two groups than there was between the Latini descended Romans and the Samnites in Italy who waged wars against one another.
(EDIT 2017) Mycenaean Genomes
A recent full genome wide study using ancient DNA on the origins of the Mycenaeans has confirmed what Larry Angel and Musgrave & Evans stated decades ago.
"The Minoans could be modelled as a mixture of the Anatolia Neolithic-related substratum with additional 'eastern' ancestry, but the other two groups had additional ancestry: the Mycenaeans had approximately 4–16% ancestry from a 'northern' ultimate source related to the hunter–gatherers of eastern Europe and Siberia (Table 1), while the Bronze Age southwestern Anatolians may have had ~ 6% ancestry related to Neolithic Levantine populations. The elite Mycenaean individual from the 'royal' tomb at Peristeria in the western Peloponnese did not differ genetically from the other three Mycenaean individuals buried in common graves."
Also, it appears as if Angel's inferences of migration were broadly correct, and that the Aegean did see an influx from people from the North and East during the Early Bronze Age.
"To identify more proximate sources ofthe distinctive eastern European/north Eurasian-related ancestry in Mycenaeans, we included later populations as candidate sources, and could model Mycenaeans as a mixture of the Anatolian Neolithic and Chalcolithic-to-Bronze Age populations from Armenia. Populations from Armenia possessed some ancestry related to eastern European hunter–gatherers so they, or similar unsampled populations of western Asia, could have contributed it to populations of the Aegean. This model makes geographical sense, since a population movement from the vicinity of Armenia could have admixed with Anatolian Neolithic-related farmers on either side of the Aegean. However, Mycenaeans can also be modelled as a mixture of Minoans and Bronze Age steppe populations, suggesting that, alternatively, 'eastern' ancestry arrived in both Crete and mainland Greece, followed by about 13–18% admixture with a 'northern' steppe population in mainland Greece only. Such a scenario is also plausible: first, it provides a genetic correlate for the distribution of shared toponyms in Crete, mainland Greece, and Anatolia discovered second, it postulates a single migration from the east; third, it proposes some gene flow from geographically contiguous areas to the northwhere steppe ancestry was present since at least the mid-third millennium."
So the average Mycenaean carried a small but definitely noticeable and important 13-18% Steppe ancestral component that entered mainland Greece during the Early Bronze Age. However, this ancestry was present at the same rate in the elite sample as it was in the 3 commoner samples. It wasn't present at close to 100% in the elites and totally lacking in the commoners as Pearson's wild fantasies would have us believe. The bulk of both aristocrat and commoner ancestry (>75%) goes back to Early Aegean-Anatolian Neolithic farmers.
The idea that Athenian aristocrats nearly a millennia later somehow had this discrepancy in ancestral components seems to be near impossible. In short, Pearson's racialist conjectures about ancient Greece have yet to display any empirical or scientific credence about the past.

J. Lawrence Angel on the Racial History of Greeks.
More like typological history (or a chronology of morphological change), a now abandoned science. But I did find what he had to say somewhat interesting.
"No type frequency predictions have been worked out for the small
series of living Greeks from around the isthmian region, since estimated skull measurements like those of the next to last column of table 8 can never be certain, although they allow comparison. The average is a well-filled and fairly high-headed brachycephaly, with high and broad forehead and nonprotuberant occiput. The face is broad and not excessively high, somewhat square in outline, and marked by broad jowls, strong chin and cheekbones, long, thick, and straight (-convex) nose, and poor teeth with a developed overbite. Alpine dominance is linked with a pervasive though limited Dinaric trend and contrasts with a strong Basic White minority. Gracile Mediterraneans are common, and Nordic-Iranians not absent though rarer than in north Greece. The modern Greek series resembles the Roman more than the Byzantine sample and continues Roman period trends away from the Classical period norm. This shows the racial continuity between ancient and modern Greeks, though the modern sample differs considerably from ancient Greeks taken as a whole.
Next to their heterogeneity, this unbroken racial continuity of the Greeks is the most important conclusion from the outline of their racial history. Continuity does not mean stasis. And several long-term trends are perceptible in tables 6, 7. 8 and 9 in addition to the period by period racial fluctuations.
The major racial trend is a gradual shift from a virtually longheaded, "Mediterranean" mode toward an Alpine norm, with incipient Dinaric features subtly added 26 as suggested in figure 13. Inclusion of Alpines with southeastern as well as with northern immigrations into Greece may well be one reason for this trend, which derives inextricably from alternation of two contrasting racial complexes. One is a dolichomorph and mainly Mediterranean blend, generally unified, and characteristic of periods of cultural unity such as the Mycenaean and Classical, with weaker effect in the Early Bronze Age. The other is marked by Alpines either mixed with or next to Nordic-Iranians, heterogeneous, and occurring in phases of invasions and confusion such as the Middle Bronze Age, Early Iron Age, and Roman period. The Byzantine sample These fluctuations have been linked with sea-borne immigrations from south and southeast and with invasions from north, northeast, or east respectively, and with the absorption of such intruders by the established population of Greece. This forms a regular cycle of racial change so timed that the fluctuations describe an irregularly spiral patharound the central racial trend.
Two less sweeping trends are interesting because the type predictions in table 7 show them incompletely or not at all, and they are therefore emphasized by their departure from prediction. The first of these is a steady increase in nose size from Middle Bronze down to Roman times, and then down to the present day. Roman period nose height significantly exceeds Middle Bronze or Mycenaean values, and nose breadth almost does so. This is shown weakly in the predictions from Mycenaean times onward, and must be some sort of Dinaric-Iranian genetic recombination.
The second trend is a rather sharp rise in bigonial breadth starting
earlier than the slight Alpine increase in other face breadths and continuing less markedly down to modern times. This shows a steady departure from predicted values. It springs apparently from Nordic-
Iranian and Basic White recombination of linked genes, with secondary
association with Alpine features.
The major non-racial trend is a general increase in stature, especially from prehistoric into historic times, utterly unpredicted by morphological type changes, and supported by a less clearcut increase in head size, involving horizontal circumference and skull base length especially, up to Roman times, with a definite drop in the Byzantine period. Byzantine stature may be overestimated. And it is virtually certain that this size increase is environmentally caused by a steady improvement in diet and hygiene from prehistoric to Classical and Roman times, followed by a medieval lapse.
The dentition of ancient Greeks shows many interesting chronological fluctuations, with one major trend worth stressing. This is a morphological complex involving more overbites, slightly deeper
glenoid fossae, probably more crowded teeth and more alveolar absorption, degeneration of the third molar, and shallower and slightly
more prominent chins. It develops from prehistoric to historic times,
reaching full bloom in the Roman period and again among living
Greeks. This masticatory degeneration clearly is linked with use of
more "civilized" food, with other causes less obvious, though a connection with increasing Alpine influence seems unlikely.
From a broad anthropological standpoint fluctuations in variability
are the most interesting ones. Mycenaean and Classical periods of
commercial success and high cultural achievement both show a "normal", relatively low, variability with dominance by a single "Mediterranean" racial amalgam : a smooth pan-mixia of potentially contrasting genetic tendencies. These periods follow and precede historic phases of invasions, isolation, and cultural confusion marked by high variability with an even balance between contrasting types or a struggle for dominance between two divergent type complexes. Thus a pattern of vigorous outbreeding and rapid racial fusion marks the transition from Middle Bronze Age to Mycenaean and less extremely from Early Iron Age to Classical period: formation of a successful culture is linked with formation of a smooth racial blend. The relatively slight rise in Early Iron Age variability 29 is a function of the relatively short duration of the Dorian invasions with less complete cultural depression than in other periods of turmoil. Hence the major trend in variability is a significant drop from the elevated Middle Bronze Age level followed by a stress on racial fusion into the Classical period, with subsequent rise in variability and in racial heterogeneity. This trend makes clearer the association of reduced variability and racial fusion with such things as population increase and free intercommunication between easily isolated harbors and valleys, as well as general high level of culture.
Thus although the use of types allows a more dynamic understanding than otherwise possible of the connection of changes in variability with race mixture, it does not show the ultimate causes of racial fusion nor the precise relation of this process to cultural achievement. These things obviously would be of great psychological, social, and historical interest. Without a more detailed sociological analysis it is impossible to draw far-reaching conclusions along these lines. But race mixture is a genetically stimulating process (Ashley Montagu, '42, pp. 98-1W), and the facts arrayed by typological analysis of Greek racial history support the historical principle that great peoples are as intensely mixed biologically as culturally."
So basically what has happened in a typological perspective is the average Greek cephalic structure has increased. The Classical Greeks were on average low Mesocephalic, while today's Greeks are low brachycephalic or maybe approaching high Mesocephalic. This seemed to happen in the Middle ages, and it didn't happen just in Greece, but in many countries like Poland and Germany. It doesn't necessarily mean significant geneflow from the outside or North from Slavs, that of course is a question that population genetics can and will eventually answer. However, there are still plenty of low mesocephalic and dolichocephalic Greeks, brachycephalization is concentrated mostly in the North.
SOURCE : Balkan Worlds: The First and Last Europe. Armonk, New York, and London, England: M.E. Sharpe, 1994.
Also Angel claims Greeks have grown taller over history, which he attributes to improvement of a healthy diet and better hygiene. And lastly despite all these changes he claims today's Greeks are still a fundamental product of the Mycenaean racial blend.
Basically a mix of the Neolithic farmers who had settled the Aegean (and had all but completely replaced the low population density Paleolithic population) who's distant ancestry was from the Fertile Crescent region, with migrations and geneflow soon coming in from the North who's distant ancestry came in from the more mountainous Balkan regions and Central Europe. Which of course if we were to look at the Y haplogroup diversity of today's Greeks, we would see Angel's conclusion makes a lot of sense. R1a1a-M17 [M458 and Z280 subclades] and I-M423 carrying males coming in and mixing with R1b, G2, J2, and E1b1b carrying populations. Broadly speaking without getting too technical, that is how it went down in my opinion.

Lack of significant Northern geneflow into the Italian and Iberian peninsulas over the last 1500 years.
Everyone who is a student of history knows that after the fall of the Roman empire, there was a "migration period" where Germanic groups migrated all over Europe, including the Italian and Iberian peninsulas, setting up and reigning over Kingdoms there. However, it appears that after the fall of those Kingdoms they were quickly absorbed into the local population and have had a minimal genetic impact (probably because they were very outnumbered as a whole). A recent genome wide IBD (Identity-By-Descent) study shows that Italian [which includes Northern, Central, and Southern Italians] and Iberians have very minimal IBD sharing with Northern Europeans over the last 1,500 years.
The geography of recent genetic ancestry across Europe
Peter Ralph, Graham Coop
(Submitted on 16 Jul 2012)
"The recent genealogical history of human populations is a complex mosaic formed by individual migration, large-scale population movements, and other demographic events. Population genomics datasets can provide a window into this recent history, as rare traces of recent shared genetic ancestry are detectable due to long segments of shared genomic material. We make use of genomic data for 2,257 Europeans (the POPRES dataset) to conduct one of the first surveys of recent genealogical ancestry over the past three thousand years at a continental scale. We detected 1.9 million shared genomic segments, and used the lengths of these to infer the distribution of shared ancestors across time and geography. We find that a pair of modern Europeans living in neighboring populations share around 10-50 genetic common ancestors from the last 1500 years, and upwards of 500 genetic ancestors from the previous 1000 years. These numbers drop off exponentially with geographic distance, but since genetic ancestry is rare, individuals from opposite ends of Europe are still expected to share millions of common genealogical ancestors over the last 1000 years. There is substantial regional variation in the number of shared genetic ancestors: especially high numbers of common ancestors between many eastern populations likely date to the Slavic and/or Hunnic expansions, while much lower levels of common ancestry in the Italian and Iberian peninsulas may indicate weaker demographic effects of Germanic expansions into these areas and/or more stably structured populations. Recent shared ancestry in modern Europeans is ubiquitous, and clearly shows the impact of both small-scale migration and large historical events. Population genomic datasets have considerable power to uncover recent demographic history, and will allow a much fuller picture of the close genealogical kinship of individuals across the world."
Notice in the figure below, appreciable IBD sharing between Italy and Iberia with Northern Europe is only from the 1515-2535 years ago period. It's interesting that Italy does share some noticeable IBD sharing with the Balkans from the 555-1500 years ago period. Perhaps genetic exchange happen between the two groups during population movements in the Byzantine era.

Is this the Real deal?
The rumours spread like wildfire. Small crowds of excited shoppers gathered, nudging each other and talking in hushed tones.
The glamorous pair browsed leisurely around the department store, oblivious to the curious stares and double-takes. "Is it or isn't it?" "Shouldn't they be in Madrid?"
But celebrity couple Posh and Becks weren't in Spain yesterday, they were causing a sensation in Sunderland.
However, on closer inspection, it transpired that Real Madrid coach Carlos Queiroz needn't worry . . . it was only a pair of imposters.
They may not be the real thing, but Gill Penny and Paul Mansley certainly turned heads yesterday.
The professional lookalikes were in Joplings department store as part of an advertising campaign to launch several new ranges.
Gill, of Guildford, Surrey, has been impersonating Victoria Beckham for the past four-and-a-half years.
The 35-year-old said: "It's an amazing job because you get to experience all the trappings of being rich and famous but still get to go home at the end of the day and be yourself.
"A few years ago I had bleached blonde hair and I decided to go back to my natural colour and that's when it all started.
"People used to stare constantly but it was a long time before I twigged why.
"In fact, it was only when a car smashed into the back of another because the driver thought he had spotted Victoria that I realised!"
And Paul, 21, of Scunthorpe, Humberside, who is on a university gap year, has been a professional Becks for a year.
He said: "I am booked up solid for months now . . . Beckham is very much in demand."
But he reckons there is one drawback to being a Beck-alike.
"I am single," he said. "And with all the attention I get there is no way that you could have a girlfriend doing this job.
"Imagine a girl all dressed up and looking fantastic for a night out and then you getting more attention that her!"

Perdon por no llegar a escribir ningun analisis en esta semana, tuve problemas familiares y al ser apoderado me vi involucrado en demasiados tramites. Espero para lo que va de la semana tener el analisis del Dead Cells y uno extra mas. Muchas gracias por entender.

PD: Estoy estudiando un poco de lo que va photoshop para poder hacer banners y slides más personalizados. Recuerden que todo lo que hay en la web sale de mi mano, por lo cual si tiene baja calidad es debido a mi falta de experiencia. Con el tiempo saldrán cosas mejores :) !!

I have always explored a multitude of themes in my artwork. The Russian Orthodox church of my father's childhood initiated my interest in Byzantine and medieval art. This became a lifelong fascination that permeates my work. These variations on Madonna icons are the focus of my latest series. This group revisits some of the original icon forms that inspire my work. The Madonna and Child, and the Virgin of the Sign are two of the basic forms that I have employed in these pieces.

This post answers a question emailed to the SAM support email address.
"How was the insolation data used by SAM affected by snow cover? Did the data come from a pyranometer that might have been heated or cleaned? I have done a rough derate estimate for snow cover for various tilts based on the PVWatts Minnesota illustration, but I would like to make sure that there isn't already a snow cover effect in the basic PVWatts data."
If you are modeling a solar energy system in SAM using one of the TMY files from the National Solar Radiation Database (NSRDB), you can assume that SAM models the system assuming that the modules or collectors are kept clear of snow.
SAM can use weather data from a variety of sources, so the answer to this question depends on the source of the solar radiation data in a particular weather file. For the TMY3 and TMY2 files from the NSRDB, any gaps in the solar radiation data were filled using a synthetic algorithm described in the data sets' user manuals. If any data gaps were caused by a pyranometer at a given site being covered with snow, the data in the final TMY weather file would not include the gaps.

NADA x Foreland
Ten Hacks for a Small Space, 2021
Fiberglass, steel, acrylic, paper lantern, pigmented expanded foam, faux flowers and fruit, fluorescent lights
233.7 x 137.2 x 190.5 cm / 92 x 54 x 75 in
August 28 + 29, 2021
Catskill, NY
Gaa Gallery is pleased to present the work of Judy Pfaff at NADA x Foreland, a two-day exhibition this coming weekend in Catskill, NY. In partnership with the New Art Dealers Alliance and Foreland, the gallery will exhibit two new floor-based sculptures by Judy Pfaff. Known for her maximal installations of dense materiality and soaring ethereal structure, Pfaff's work explores and illuminates the infinite considerations of physical space via visual and tactile presentation.
Pulsing with a prismatic range of colors- orange, green, yellow, and pink, Ten Hacks for a Small Space, 2021, and Untitled, 2021 abound with an expansive vocabulary of material and movement. Constructed atop welded supports, in Ten Hacks for a Small Space pigmented foam, found objects, plastic, and fiberglass undulates and drapes across the underlying steel structure. Woven house mats rest below and roll up into the sculpture, situating the work in relationship to the ground. Lighted objects, lanterns rest atop the metal supports and mine the architectural language of interior space. In Untitled, twisted metal and strips of plexi plastic glass are tangled and illuminated by neon lights. In both these works, the arrangements and entanglements between forms produces space aglow with natural and artificial light. The resultant phenomenon transforms the sculptural object into a spatial experience of material and light.
Often cited as a pioneer of installation-art and contributor to the Pattern and Decoration Movement (P&D), Judy Pfaff (b. 1946, London) has created work that spans disciplines from painting to printmaking and sculpture to installation. Born in London in 1946, Pfaff received a BFA from Washington University Saint Louis (1971) and an MFA from Yale University (1973), where she studied with Al Held. She exhibited work in the Whitney Biennials of 1975, 1981, and 1987 and represented the United States in the 1998 Sao Paulo Bienal. Her pieces reside in the permanent collections of MoMA, the Whitney Museum of Art, Tate Gallery, Brooklyn Museum of Art, and Detroit Institute of Arts, among others. She is currently represented by the Miles McEnery and Accola Griefen galleries in New York and has been previously represented by Holly Solomon, Carl Solway, and Susanne Hilberry. She is the recipient of many awards, including the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Sculpture Center (2014), the MacArthur Foundation Award (2004), and the Guggenhiem Fellowship (1983). Pfaff lives and works in Tivoli, New York.
In partnership with Upstate Art Weekend and co-organized with NADA Member Jesse Greenberg of JAG Projects, NADA x Foreland highlights artworks from the community of NADA galleries, non-profits, and artists with a focus on artists working in the region of Upstate New York, featuring 81 exhibiting galleries, non-profits, and artist-run spaces presenting over 100 artists.
NADA x Foreland is free and open to the public Saturday, August 28 and August 29, 11 am - 8 pm at 361 Main Street, Catskill, New York. For more information, please click here.

This is Moses Cross's basic pedigree chart. There are many additional tools for Moses's genealogy below.
Here is a collection of tools for genealogists with an interest in Moses's family history.
If you are a genealogist but don't want to login right now see the contact information below. Please don't leave if you have data and sources to add for Moses.
Since Moses has no children the descendants page isn't available. Do you know of children? Please let the profile managers know.
Genetic genealogy is the new frontier. Our two DNA views are designed to help you use genetic testing to confirm and expand Moses's genealogy. The DNA Ancestors page shows the specific ancestors from whom Moses gets his Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA. Especially helpful for some serious genetic genealogists is the inheritance pattern for Moses's X chromosome, also shown here. The DNA Descendants link isn't active because Moses has no children. It may still be possible to test connections to Moses by testing other descendants of his ancestors who inherited the same Y chromosome, X chromosome or mitochondrial DNA.
This tool helps you take things a step beyond the DNA Ancestors and DNA Descendants views. The ambitious goal: scientific confirmation of each parent-child relationship in Moses's tree. This is still fairly complex but it's getting simpler every day.
How many degrees of separation are between Moses and Henry VIII? This Connection Finder includes relationships through marriage, so it is not a genealogical cousin calculator like our Relationship Finder, but it's a fun way to illustrate how closely we're all connected.
There aren't any photographs or source images for Moses yet. Login to upload one.
This page shows all the Crosss on WikiTree. It's useful for genealogists with an interest in the surname that goes beyond Moses. There are a variety of connected tools, such as Cross DNA Connections and CROSS G2G.
The profile page is the central place for organizing and viewing information and sources on an individual. This tree & tools page is a supplement to it. Whenever you see Moses's name on WikiTree (and ideally, elsewhere on the Internet!) it will be linked to the profile at https://www.WikiTree.com/wiki/Cross-405 where Cross-405 is Moses's unique WikiTree ID.
Enter Cross-405 and any other WikiTree ID to find the genealogical relationship between Moses and the other person. It will name the relationship, e.g. "third cousin twice removed," and show the trail of connections to a common ancestor. Although not everyone on WikiTree shares common ancestors, finding and connecting them is our ultimate goal. See the Relationship Finder Quick Links to check for relationships to US presidents, Mayflower passengers, Magna Carta Sureties and more.
Automatically search for Moses on more than 20 different genealogy websites with the RootsSearch app.
Download and share an attractive family tree image. This is a great way to elicit information and photo sharing from family and old friends. You might be surprised at who replies. The "Wikid Shareable Tree" is another option. You can just copy and paste the URL https://www.WikiTree.com/treewidget/Cross-405/4 into your favorite social network.
The surnames page is a quick reference sheet that displays seven generations of Moses's family names. Many members share its URL https://www.WikiTree.com/treewidget/Cross-405/10 via e-mail, e.g. with a DNA match to ask if the other person recognizes a surname.
Here are additional tools to help genealogists collaborate on WikiTree to grow Moses's family history.
Here you can view the additions and changes that WikiTree members have made to Moses's profile so far.
Moses's edit page is the central location for adding information and correcting mistakes. Is there anything you can add or improve upon? Since you're not logged-in yet you can't make changes directly. Contact the profile managers. Please don't go away without giving us your information and sources. Thank you!
If you're a blogger who's writing a post about Moses or have a Cross family website or surname website you can include one of these widgets to illustrate his tree.
You'll notice colored privacy icons in search results, the Cross surname index, etc. The white dot for Moses indicates that his profile is Open. Only the profile manager can edit this setting.
If Moses's DNA (not a family member's or descendant's DNA) has been tested for genealogical purposes the test or tests should be selected here. This will automatically create connections on the profiles of Moses's relatives where the test may be useful for confirming relationships. It's very valuable for advanced genealogy. To add tests you need to be on Moses's Trusted List.
This shows you the WikiTree members who have full power to access and edit Moses's information. Use it to see who else shares your interest in Moses and receives updates about changes to the profile. The Relationship Finder icon links next their names will show you their relationship to Moses.
Here are ways to connect and communicate with genealogists regarding Moses's profile, especially if you're unable to collaborate directly using the WikiTree Tools above.
WikiTree's Genealogist-to-Genealogist (G2G) Forum is where genealogists help each other. If you have a question about Moses and would like to seek help from the wider community — not just Moses's friends and family — post it here.
Moses's profile, like all WikiTree profiles, has a section for public comments. This is the best place to put anything you'd like seen by all genealogists who are interested in Moses. Profile managers are alerted to new comments via e-mail, everyone on the Trusted List will see a notice about it in their activity feeds, and people who visit Moses's profile in the future will see your comment. You will need to login to post.
Any image uploaded to WikiTree can be sent as a free e-card, including photos of Moses or scans of vintage postcards. An e-card can be a great way to tell a genealogist or family member about what's here.
Unfortunately, there is no manager for Moses's profile. Will you become a member and take responsibility for it?
If you're a genealogist with a special interest in collaborating on Moses's profile, join the Trusted List. The profile is Open so you don't need to be on the Trusted List to edit or improve upon it. You only need to join if you want to receive updates about him in your activity feeds or complete merges. You will need to login first.
If you have sourced information about Moses, the WikiTree community thanks you in advance for not leaving here without sharing it. :-) We are on a mission to connect the human family on one free yet reliable and privacy-controlled tree. Although we will never be finished, we make amazing progress every day because tens of thousands of good genealogists are willing to help.

Roundup: Anderson scores 24 to pace Wesley men by St. Mary's
Jan 8th, 2017 · by Delaware State News · Comments:
Evan Anderson netted 24 points to pace Wesley College to a 74-63 victory over St. Mary's in Capital Athletic Conference men's basketball on Sunday afternoon.
The contest was originally scheduled for Saturday but was postponed because of the snowstorm that hit the region.
Anderson, who sank 4-of-10 three-point attempts, was one of four players to score in double figures for the Wolverines (4-2 CAC, 6-7 overall). Brian Cameron (13), J.W. Lawson (12) and Jordan Johnson (11) also finished in double digits.
Rasahn Brinkley added nine points and 12 rebounds with Cameron adding 10 rebounds and five assists.
In a game that featured eight ties and two lead changes, St. Mary's jumped out to a 14-2 lead. But Wesley took the lead for good at 47-46 on an Evan Anderson three-pointer with 14:52 remaining.
The Wolverines led by as much as 72-60 on a Brinkley dunk with 1:01 left.
WOMEN, St. Mary's 55, Wesley 52: The Wolverines limited St. Mary's to only five points in the final 2:15 but couldn't get any closer than three before dropping the CAC decision.
Brionna Johnson (Smyrna) had 13 points and 15 rebounds for Wesley (1-5 CAC, 5-8) with Tiyanna Gibbs adding 13 points, nine rebounds and five steals. Alexus Stroud (Smyrna) contributed 11 points and six steals.
Elon 62, Delaware 42: The Phoenix outrebounded the Blue Henas, 62-32, in earning the Colonial Athletic Association win.
The Phoenix (11-4, 3-0 CAA) limited the Hens (7-7, 1-2 CAA) to their lowest offensive output of the season while holding Delaware to just four offensive boards.
Sophomore Nicole Enabosi recorded her sixth double-double of the season, leading the Hens with 10 points and 10 rebounds while tying a season-best with three blocked shots. Redshirt junior Sadé Chatman added 10 rebounds of her own to go along with eight points.
DSU twinbill postponed: Delaware State's women's and men's basketball doubleheader at Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference opponent North Carolina Central, slated for today, has been rescheduled for Tuesday at 2 and 4 p.m. due to travel conditions caused by the recent winter storm.
Central wins tourney title: Sussex Central topped a field of 20 schools to win the team title at the Delcastle Invitational on Saturday.
The Golden Knights collected 246.5 points to finish ahead of second-place Salesianum (196) and third-place Polytech (159.5).
Four Henlopen Conference wrestlers also captured individual titles: Indian River's Ta`Jon Knight (120 pounds), Central's Rashad Stratton (126), Polytech's Avery Mayan (160) and IR's Zeke Marcozzi (182).


The Jewish Federation of Greater St. Paul is proud to introduce the Etz Chaim (Tree of Life) Society, our new program to honor community members who have named the St. Paul Federation in their wills or other estate plans.
Now is the time for us to plant for our children and grandchildren, and to honor those who have already done so. As a member of the Etz Chaim Society, you will be eligible to attend special events and be listed in the Etz Chaim honor roll.
We thank you today for the legacy you leave for tomorrow.
A general bequest to the Federation will be added to the general endowment, which provides grants to help develop new programs.
A field of interest endowment (donation of $2,500 or more) can be directed to a general purpose within the community, such as programs for the elderly, early childhood education, or outreach to interfaith families.
A designated endowment (donation of $2,500 or more) can be directed to a specific purpose, such as camp scholarships, transportation for the elderly, or an agency of your choice.
An annual campaign endowment of at least $100,000, such as a Perpetual Annual Campaign Endowment (PACE) for men or Lion of Judah Endowment (LOJE) for women, maintains your annual campaign gift for general community needs in perpetuity.
We need your help. If you have made a provision for the Federation in your estate plans, let us know by contacting Jeffrey Prottas at jprottas@stpaulfed.org or 651-695-3185.
A gift to the Jewish community today will allow you to be there for your family, St. Paul, and the Jewish people—whenever help is needed in the future.

'State should be sensitive to profession of fuel tanker drivers'
Aniston bares all for GQ
By Rishi Singh
LOS ANGELES:
Jennifer Aniston, who starred in Friends and other comedies, appears naked in a series of photographs that are published on the cover and inside pages of the latest issue of GQ magazine.
The 40-year-old Hollywood actress tells the magazine that she feels more comfortable today than she did in her twenties or early thirties.
"I'm healthier," Aniston is quoted as saying. "I'm more at peace in my mind and with my body."
The actress says she continues to maintain contact with her ex-husband, actor Brad Pitt, who left her for actress Angelina Jolie.
"When there's something to congratulate or celebrate, there's always an exchange," she says.
But Aniston denies having conversations with Jolie. She also denies tabloid media report that she plans to have a baby. — AFP
Non-white films highlighted in AFI movies of the year list


LIVERPOOL winger Lazar Markovic could be heading to Lokomotiv Moscow in January.
The Russian side have expressed an interest in the Serbia international and are ready to make an offer.
Liverpool are willing to listen to offers for the player they signed for £20m from Benfica in 2014.
Markovic, 23, has failed to make an impact at Anfield and Kop boss Jurgen Klopp is ready to let him leave.
He has not made a first-team appearance this season and needs a move to kick-start his career.
Anderlecht, Celta Vigo and Espanyol are also interested but have yet to contact the Reds.

14ymedio Faces of 2018: Lis Cuesta, the 'First Lady' Who Doesn't Speak
First Lady Lis Cuesta has accompanied Miguel Díaz-Canel to various events and on trips. (EFE)
14ymedio, Havana | 27 December 2018 — The assumption of the presidency by the engineer Miguel Díaz-Canel also meant the return of a first lady, a figure who disappeared from the Cuban political scene from the time of the 1959 Revolution. At 47, Lis Cuesta Peraza has appeared in the headlines of the foreign press from her new public role as the wife of the ruler, although Cuba's official media hardly mention her.
After graduating from the Holguin Pedagogical Sciences Institute, Cuesta worked at the Book Institute and at the Paradiso Travel Agency, which belongs to the Ministry of Culture. They met when Díaz-Canel was appointed secretary of the Communist Party in the province of Holguin, a position that catapulted him into one of Raúl Castro's men of confidence.
Cuesta has attended numerous official receptions throughout the year, welcoming Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores to the Palace of the Revolution, as well as on the trip to New York she made with the president last October on the occasion of his participation in the General Assembly of the United Nations. In spite of her public prominence, her voice has not yet been heard in the national media, nor has she been seen performing activities on her own.
Last April, a few days after Díaz-Canel's inauguration as president, an image of the first lady showing a fragment of a tattoo on her back in the shape of a fleur-de-lis was disseminated through social networks. The tattoo generated an immediate comparison between Cuesta's new style and that of other female figures close to Cuban power, such Raul Castro's late wife Vilma Espín, who had a much more conservative aesthetic.
Cuesta's public appearances also contrasts with the secrecy that for decades surrounded Fidel Castro's private and family life. His wife and the mother of five of his children, Dalia Soto del Valle, was only seen in the last years of the ruler's life and during his funeral.
For the time being, although she does not speak to the national media or have an agenda of her own, the Cuban first lady is contributing to giving a more modern and human image to her husband's mandate, perhaps an official strategy to bring the president closer to the population, which did not know him before Raúl Castro appointed him as his successor to the presidency.

These seniors are among approximately 16,000 semifinalists nationwide, which represents less than one percent of all U.S. high school seniors. The semifinalists are competing for 7,500 National Merit Scholarships worth about $32 million. Those scholarships will be announced in the spring of 2019.
To be considered for a Merit Scholar award, semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the finalist level, including academic records, community participation, leadership abilities, and honors received. The semifinalist must have an outstanding academic record, be recommended by a school official, write an essay, and achieve SAT scores that validate the student's earlier performance on the qualifying test.
From the 16,000 semifinalists, about 15,000 are expected to advance to the finalist level. The approximately 7,500 National Merit Scholarship winners will be chosen from that group of finalists. Merit Scholar designees are selected on the basis of their skills, accomplishments, and potential for success in rigorous college studies, without regard to gender, race, ethnic origin, or religious preference.
Semifinalists and commended students nationwide were selected from about 1.6 million high school students who took the 2017 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) during their junior year.


Antibiotics are necessary during the right circumstance. In fact, they have saved many lives since the antibiotic era started in 1945 (source). We are very fortunate to have antibiotics available for serious bacterial infections. Unfortunately, antibiotics are excessively prescribed. The Center for Disease Control estimates that of the 235 million doses of antibiotics given every single year, between 20-50% are unnecessary (source).
Overuse, abuse and misuse of antibiotics are leading to antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistant infections may occur, and in the worse-case scenario, there may be no antibiotics that are effective for the infection. This situation can be life-threatening.
Most viral illnesses do not need special medication and are "self-limiting", meaning the patient's own immune system can fight off the illness.
Antibiotics do not just go after the pathogenic "bad" bacteria, they also destroy the beneficial "good" bacteria that are vital for good health. Among the many important beneficial bacteria are lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium bifidusbifidum. They help protect the body against infection. Depleting these key organisms can disrupt the balance of the body, suppress the immune system and increase susceptibility to infections by fungi, bacteria, viruses, yeast and parasites. Antibiotics also affect many nutrients, especially the ones needed by the immune system to fight infection, including vitamins A and C.
The problem isn't only due to our doctors over prescribing antibiotics because, sadly we are eating them in our food and drinking them in our water too. Industrial farms have been adding antibiotics to livestock feed since 1946, when studies showed that antibiotics caused animals to grow faster and put on weight more efficiently, increasing meat producers' profits (source). Studies also show antibiotics getting into our drinking water through several routes: some people flush unneeded medication down toilets; other medicine gets into the water supply after people take medication, absorb some, and pass the rest out in urine or feces. Some pharmaceuticals remain even after waste-water treatments and cleansing by water treatment plants (source).
In a study by Dr. Stuart Levy and his colleagues, they found that introducing antibiotics into chicken feed very quickly promoted the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria in the chickens' intestinal tracts, as well as the intestinal tracts of the people working with the chickens. The chickens' guts changed within a week, the farm workers in 3-6 months. Further, the bacteria sampled were not only resistant to tetracycline (the antibiotic used), but several other commercial antibiotics – they had adapted and that is scary (source).
Pharmaceutical antibiotics are very new and we are still the lab rats in testing. Our ancestors had their own way of healing, using natural antibiotics from nature. I think it is nice to remind ourselves what these antibiotics are.
Grapefruit seed extract: Recent studies indicate that the seeds of this plant can be used to fight against 800 types of viruses and bacteria.
Echinacea: This plant is not only beautiful, but a real antibiotic and antiviral drug. However, before taking, consult with an experienced herbalist who will recommend in which form you need to take it.
Sauerkraut: Not only is sauerkraut packed with vitamin C, it helps with digestion and reproduction of beneficial bacteria. The majority of our immune system is in our gut, which is one of the reasons why sauerkraut can be so beneficial. Only use organic sauerkraut from trusted manufacturers (like your local farmer) because leaves can contain harmful pesticides…depending where you get it.
Oregano: Can fight infections, especially persistent fungi and parasites in the intestines. For a heavier dose, I like to use oregano essential oil and pour a couple of drops into an empty supplement capsule and swallow it down. Warning, oregano oil can burn the skin, so be careful and have coconut oil nearby to dilute the concentration 🙂 Tip, water will only push the oil deeper into your skin, whereas coconut oil will dilute it very quickly.
Coconut oil: Not only does coconut oil protect us from bacteria and viruses, it is also great for cholesterol control and hormones. Someone could write an entire book about coconut oil….oh wait, they already did and you can find it here.
Apple cider vinegar (ACV): Has antibiotic and antiseptic properties.
Fermented foods: Homemade pickles, kefir and probiotic yogurts, and sauerkraut, all renew our intestinal flora. protects us from cancer and fights off infections.
Garlic: Can fight simple infections such as the common cold. Garlic contains allicin which protects against yeast, parasites, bacteria and more.
Honey: Ancient Romans used honey on the battlefield to treat wounds and prevent infection. Honey is one of the best natural antibiotics because it is antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anti-septic. Honey soothes the digestive system, removes toxins from the blood and helps your liver operate more efficiently. Make sure the honey is raw and unpasteurized.
Propolis: Honeybees gather propolis, a resin, from tree bark and leaves. They combine this resin with nectar, creating a mix of wax, pollen and bee bread. They then use this substance to seal their hives, protecting it from outside contaminants. They also use propolis at the entrance to the hive to sterilize themselves as they come and go.
Turmeric: Can be consumed and applied topically, making it a wonderful choice for fighting against bacteria. For extra benefit, make a paste combining turmeric with honey and apply to infected areas on your skin.
Pau d'Arco: A herb native to South America whose active ingredient lapachol, has been found to relieve a wide range of infections including those initiated by bacteria, viruses and fungus. Studies suggest that Pau d'arco may also have cancer-fighting properties, although more research is needed. Pau d'arco was used by the Indians of South America to strengthen the immune system and fight life-threatening diseases. It's best consumed as a tea or decoction.
Aloe vera: Active against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2. Aloe and honey are two of the most effective treatments for burn victims when applied externally to speed wound healing and prevent infection.
Note: Not all bacteria are harmful – many are essential to our health. Always use caution with the use of herbal antibiotics, just as you would with pharmaceutical antibiotics. In food doses, they are generally benign, but in therapeutic doses they are stronger. Always add probiotics to your day if you use antibiotics (if they aren't already part of your daily routine).

Q: creating a rails web site builder I'm planning to develope a website builder using ruby/rails. The basic architecture will be as folllows
1 - each website will be given a unique subdomain
2 - web sites main domain will be mapped to this subdomain (Ex: www.mysite.com -> www.mysite.websitebulder.com)
3 - This top level domains (Ex- www.mysite.com might want to use url masking)
4 - I'm planning to use liquid and rails3
5 - I'll be using apache and passenger.
I would like to have your opinion on,
1 - Normally what are the ways of doing something like this (creating a hosted web site builders)
2 - does my approach make sense.
3 - What are the cautions i should take for a project like this
4 - any other comment you all think I should beware of
thanks in advance
cheers

A: Your question is too broad for a good Stack Overflow question, but there's a Railscasts episode on subdomains in Rails 3 to get you started:

But the best entry, and the closest to my own feelings, has to be kabuki_party 's on the events of 9/11 nine years ago and the aftermath for our people (both those born or immigrated; we are ALL Americans) and the Islamic community as a whole. We shall honor the memories and sacrifice made by those we lost, but we must not lose sight of the tolerance for which our nation is known. Not all within a race, creed, or religion should be held accountable for one branch's actions.


We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we will be more content when they are. After that we're frustrated that we have teen-agers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.
Your life will always be filled with challenges. It is best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D'Souza. He said, "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."
This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special; special enough to spend your time - and remember that time waits for no one…..
So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose 10 pounds, until you gain 10 pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you are off welfare, until the first or 15th, until your song comes on, until you have had a drink, until you have sobered up, until you die - to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.
Thought for the day: Work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like no one's watching.

The Grueling Truth - Where Legends Speak / Steve Pearce Wins World Series MVP
Steve Pearce Wins World Series MVP
Red Sox first baseman Steve Pearce wins his first World Series MVP after hitting three home runs and a double against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Dave Latham
Fact checked by: Mike Goodpaster
For More Red Sox News!
The 2018 Boston Red Sox are officially one of the best teams in major league history. The Sox capped their historic regular season with a five-game World Series victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. While there were several heroes on this fantastic road, first baseman Steve Pearce was chief among them. Because of his postseason heroics, Pearce officially earned the World Series Most Valuable Player award.
First Baseman Steve Pearce Wins World Series MVP
To say Steve Pearce had a good World Series is an understatement. The slugging first baseman was the best offensive bat on the team, going 4-for-16 with three home runs and eight runs batted in over the five-game series.
While he was great all the time, his bat came through in the biggest moments. During Game Four, Pearce launched a solo shot in the top of the eighth to tie the game, 4-4. For good measure, Pearce added a three-run double in the top of the ninth to give the Red Sox a 9-4 lead they would not relinquish.
While he was the most important factor in the Red Sox Game Four victory, he was just as big in Game Five. Pearce led off the top of the first with a two-run homer to give the Red Sox another lead they would not relinquish. He wasn't done there, as Pearce hit yet another home run in the top of the eighth to give the Red Sox a 5-1 lead. While that run didn't make much of a difference in the long run, it served as the final nail in the Dodgers coffin. While Nathan Eovaldi and David Price were phenomenal, it's hard to argue that either deserved this award more than the first baseman.
Amazingly, Pearce didn't even start the 2018 season on the Red Sox roster. Originally a member of the Toronto Blue Jays, Pearce was traded to the Red Sox on June 29th for infielder Santiago Espinal, then the 15th-ranked prospect in the Red Sox farm system.
Since joining the Red Sox, Price posted a .279/.394/.507 slash line with a 143 wRC+. He was a major player in a Red Sox offense which struggled against lefty pitching for a portion of the season. To say he was worth the investment is a major understatement. The Red Sox are World Series champions, and Steve Pearce is a deserving MVP.

Baby Kee-Ijah Bailey is growing and getting better at the Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto.
Her mother, Elisha Joell, wanted to thank the public for all the donations and prayers for her newborn.
Baby Kee-Ijah was born prematurely on Christmas Day with underdeveloped lungs and had to travel via air ambulance to Toronto to get much needed medical care.
Ms Joell added that she wanted "to thank the public for all the help and prayers that have been given to us at this time and to the LCCA" and the Committee of 25.
This is wonderful news to hear. Prayers for her to continue to do well.
Fantastic to hear of her progress. What a precious miracle! Born on Christmas Day no less. Truly a blessing from God.


Back in December, I decided it was about time I cut out dairy milk from my diet. When it comes to it, I'll be fairly honest and say outright that I didn't have a hard-burning desire to completely go vegan. I've conducted plentiful (personal) research into the animal product industry and although I'd already happily moved to a vegetarian diet, I was still consuming dairy products like milk, eggs and cheese on a near-daily basis. I found it relatively easy to go vegetarian, and the plan is to be on a plant-based diet later this year by gradually reducing my consumption of all animal products.
This is the most extra statement I've ever made on Daisybutter, but hear me out. With several companies pledging to drastically reduce their number of disposables, investing in one or both of these will make waves. I am never without my KeepCup, a beautifully designed reusable coffee glass. Not only it is pretty to carry around, it also affords you a small discount at several chain coffee shops in the UK. Pret A Manger and Costa both offer discounts on their beverages if you present a reusable flask, and it's felt really good not to visit a bin after finishing my daily dose of caffeine. The same goes for straws: of course you could choose to sip from the glass instead, but carrying this in a canvas pouch has meant I can feel less guilty about asking for a single-use plastic straw when I drink. I'm incredibly clumsy, so a straw is often a must!
The other weekend when I was out doing my weekly shop, I was horrified at the sheer amount of plastic packaging I had in my trolley. 99.9% of the time it cannot be helped, but as a vegetarian that also rarely eats processed food, I tend to mostly shop in the fruit and veg aisles and still, there was so much plastic involved!
Right now, I'm making attempts to clean up my shopping by hand-picking my groceries and just adding them to my trolley instead of putting them in those fiddly clear baggies. I religiously wash all of my fruit and veg before cooking anyway, so this hasn't proved to be a huge fuss, plus there's much less waste!
I'm hoping to introduce market shopping to my weekly shop as well, not only to support local and smaller businesses but also because it's great to choose fresh produce. Delish.
I recall the outrage when the 5p bag rule came into effect in the UK and I honestly can't work out why that was? Did you know that plastic bags can take between 10 and 1,000 years to decompose?! I can practically hear you rushing to pull those canvas bags out now! The 5p bag charge came into effect in Hong Kong back in 2014, just as I'd moved there, and so it had already become a habit of mine to fold up a canvas bag in my handbag for everyday use. I remember listening to the Government news pieces about the benefits the charge hoped to bring about and feeling empowered to make a difference myself. These days, I add a lightweight canvas bag in my handbags (the Becksondergaard ones even fit in the pocket of my Chanel bag!), one or two in my car boot, a spare in my gym bag and another two by the front door to encourage myself to absolutely minimise the use of plastic bags. Might I add that the 'Eggcellent' canvas tote from my online boutique Honey + Chai is a perfect pick? I designed it with a handy pocket inside, too! Grab 15% off with the code EDITOR15.
