What Happens When You Defragment a Drive?
By Simon Batt / Jan 24, 2017 / How Things Work
One of the age-old solutions to fix a slow computer is to defragment its hard drive. This is easy enough to do: Simply run the defragmenter and wait for it to finish its job. Have you ever wondered, however, what defragmenting means exactly? It may sound like a complex procedure by its name, but it's actually quite simple. Let's take a look at how disks store data, and how they become fragmented in the first place.
How Hard Drives Store Data
One way to understand how a disk becomes fragmented is to imagine a man who's in charge of filing reports within several filing cabinets. Whenever you, a worker at this office, need to file or take out a report, you go through him. While a hard worker, this man's organisation method is very strange.
If he's given a report, he'll go through the drawers starting from A to L looking for an empty spot to put the report. If he finds a spot, he places the report into it. Otherwise, he puts it at the very end. When a report is removed, the gap it leaves behind stays there. The sorter doesn't make any effort to "shunt up" reports to fill the gap – he just leaves the gap as it is.
For example: if he fills all the drawers from A to F, and then a 100-page report from C is removed, the 100-page gap will stay in C. Then, if the man receives another 100-page report to file, he'll go through each drawer looking for a gap. He'll find the 1oo-page gap in C which he fills snugly with the report he just received.
So far so good, right? However, imagine if we had a gap left in a drawer, and the man receives a report larger than the size of the gap. In the above example, picture if the man received a 200-page report rather than a 100-page one. In this case, in an attempt to fill the 100-page gap in C, he'll split the report in two. He'll put 100 pages into C, then the other 100 pages at the very end, assuming there are no more gaps. This means the report is now "fragmented" into two halves.
All it takes is for several small reports to be removed over a long period of time, and you find yourself in a real problem. After some time has passed, if you asked him to file a 250-page report, he may find a 50-page-sized gap in Cabinet B, then a 25-page gap in Cabinet C, then another 25-page gap in F, a 100-page gap in G, and a 50-page gap in K. To fill all the gaps, he splits the 250 pages amongst them. This means, when you ask him to get the report out, he has to go through Cabinet B, C, F, G, and K in order to get all the pieces of the report, which takes a lot of time to do. What a hassle!
What Defragmenting Does
It doesn't take a genius to realise the man should take some time at the end of the week to sort the reports into consecutive order. By shuffling pages in and out of the main filing system, he can arrange the cabinets so that each report has their pages all together in the right order. That way, when you ask for a report, he doesn't have to open several scattered drawers to get it, and it saves time as a result.
Of course, there's no little man on your hard disk drive who fetches your data. The "man" in this example is the hard disk's read head. If you save a large chunk of data (such as installing a 1GB piece of software), the hard drive will fragment it amongst the gaps it finds in the hard drive. When you go to load the software, it takes a long time for the hard drive's head to move around the scattered parts of the platter to read all the data. By using a defragmenter, the hard drive shuffles and sorts the data around the platter so that all the data on the computer is in a consecutive order. This means the head doesn't have to move around so much to read your data, and the loading process speeds up.
What About Solid State Drives?
Keen-eyed readers may realise this isn't the case for solid state drives. SSDs don't use spinning disk platters; they use flash memory like a USB drive would. Given there's no disk, surely there's no reason to defragment it. Right?
This was a hot topic a few years ago when SSDs were coming onto the market. The consensus was that SSDs didn't have a spinning platter, so it didn't need defragmenting. Not only that, but performing a defragmentation on the SSD would wear it down unnecessarily, shortening its lifespan. Sure enough, Jon L. Jacobi from PC World ran defraggers on his SSDs, and noted that they didn't actually do anything worthy of note.
However, you shouldn't be totally against disk defragmentation. Windows does its own SSD defragmentation once a month, but it isn't the same kind that it performs on a HDD. Windows knows full well that your disk is an SSD, so it'll perform special actions on it to make sure it's kept healthy and runs for as long as possible. You can read Microsoft's claim on their SSD defragmentation here. In short, don't use third-party defragmenters on SSDs, but do allow Windows to perform maintenance on it.
Defragmenting a disk is a well-known way of getting a computer to act faster. However, it's not self-explanatory as to what it actually does. Hopefully you now understand what defragmenting is, why it's done, and its standing with SSDs.
Have you ever seen a huge performance boost after a defragment? Share your stories below.

"Windows does its own SSD defragmentation once a month"
I would never trust Windows to do ANY maintenance on my system.
Not once during 15 years of running 2K, XP, Vista and Win 7, had the 'Analyze' option of Defrag reported that the disk needed to be defragmented. Not even when the graph looked like the disk had a bad case of chicken pox. I defragmented my disks once a week, no matter what the Analyzer reported.

City hopes rejuvenating districts will boost tourism
March 24, 2013, 12:00 a.m.
Conservator Kari Kipper at Worcester Art Museum.ANNE HANSON FOR THE BOSTON GLOBE
Companies in Worcester once manufactured everything from machine tools, wire products, and power looms, to ice skates, corsets, and space suits. But after World War II, factories closed, beginning a period of industrial decline. Its manufacturing glory days may be past, but the city's grand architecture and distinctive neighborhoods remain.
"Worcester has good bones," said my friend Jennifer Markello, who lives in a Victorian house in the city's West Side neighborhood. I had come to search for them.
My first stop, Salisbury Mansion, perches atop a hill on Highland Street just north of downtown. An airy, light-filled, two-story Georgian clapboard structure built in 1772, it was moved in 1929 up the hill from its original location in Lincoln Square. Docents offer tours of the house and its history, beginning with its origins as the home and store of the merchant Stephen Salisbury. The history continues with his entrepreneurial son Stephen, whose investments in Worcester's 19th-century growth made him one of the wealthiest men in the country, and concludes with the recent restoration of the mansion.
The Worcester Historical Museum, which owns and operates the mansion, has been slowly acquiring original furnishings, such as a Classical Revival horsehair and mahogany couch the family purchased in Boston in 1820. The surprisingly bright carpets and lively wallpaper are reproductions based on original furnishings.
If not for the Salisbury family, another city treasure, the Worcester Art Museum, might never have opened in 1898. Stephen Salisbury III, who spearheaded the museum's founding, willed it a hefty chunk of his substantial estate. A short walk from the mansion, the museum is just the right size for an afternoon's visit.
From the museum, it's a short walk or drive downtown. At the top of Main Street, Armsby Abbey, a lively brewpub with a tasty menu featuring local products, beckons. My salad of local greens, beets, and carrots was perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of goat cheese and dressing.
In the middle of downtown, the Worcester Historical Museum is a lovingly curated valentine to the city's rich past. Exhibits document its rise as a manufacturing powerhouse after the completion of the Blackstone Canal linking Worcester to Providence in 1828, followed by the rise of the railroad, beginning with the Boston-Worcester line in 1835.
The city also played a pivotal role in 20th-century rocket science and space exploration. Native Robert Goddard, who obtained degrees from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Clark University, created and in 1926 launched the first liquid-fueled rocket. When astronaut Neil Armstrong took his famous first step on the moon in 1969, multiple Worcester products helped make that voyage possible. The David Clark Co. designed the communications carrier assembly — the "Snoopy cap" — through which came Armstrong's words, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Local companies also made the legs of the Apollo 11 Lunar Excursion Module, forgings for the spacecraft, and superinsulation and ceramic coating for the rocket nozzles. Sprague Electric, now Allegro MicroSystems, Inc., created a silicon disc with microscopically engraved messages that the astronauts left on the moon.
Whatever the achievements of the past, back out on the streets of downtown, one can't get around the fact that it is way too quiet. Although the city's economic base today includes insurance companies, higher education, banks, courts, and medical services, the once bustling center is not sharing in the prosperity. Denholm's, the department store that used to draw crowds to Main Street, closed in 1973. Although the building still stands across from City Hall, current tenants do not match the lively commerce Denholm's provided.
Local government and business leaders hope to reverse this decline with a planned theater district. If successful, 30 downtown acres would become a vibrant space with residences, shops, offices, and entertainment. In the meantime, the area still offers beautiful examples of 19th- and early-20th-century architecture, including City Hall, built in the Renaissance Revival style in 1898; Mechanics Hall, an 1857 Italianate concert hall completely restored in recent years; the G.A.R. Hall (Bull Mansion), a splendid 1876 High Victorian Gothic concoction; and especially the 1911 Union Station. The depot was restored in 2000, along with commuter rail service to Boston, marking a recovery from its low point in 1972 when the station was abandoned as a railroad hub.
Anchored at its northern tip by Union Station, an area known as the Canal District is reinventing itself as an entertainment and shopping zone. Named for the Blackstone, which operated until 1848 and ran beneath today's Harding Street, the district retains much of the building stock from the city's heyday. With its main north-south arteries of Water and Green streets converging in a "V" at the southern tip in Kelly Square, the district is easy to navigate and has plenty of bars and restaurants.
On a recent visit to Bocado, a lively tapas restaurant, patrons enjoyed dishes, such as fried goat cheese with honey and almonds; peppers stuffed with veal, cheese, basil, and pine nuts; and pork meatballs with red wine, figs, and blue cheese. In addition to a wide selection of Spanish wines,
Bocado offers wine flights.
The Crompton & Knowles Loomworks factory building, dating from 1860, has taken on new life as the Crompton Place commercial and residential complex, with tenants including an upscale hair salon and home furnishings store. On the ground floor is the Crompton Collective, an artisan and antiques market established in September by Amy Chase, owner of Haberdash Vintage. Sarah Blatt, a partner in Crimson and Clover, arranged a display at her booth. "We've been here since it opened," she said. "It's going well."
Crompton Place also is home to Worcester's newest historical exhibit, the Blackstone Canal Historical Museum. The gallery, the handiwork of amateur historians Eugene Zabinski, Donna Decoteau, and Dave Maki, includes a 4-by-8-foot diorama of the town in 1834 and the canal.
The Canal District Alliance, of which Zabinski is treasurer, is advocating the creation of a replica of the canal along Harding Street as a way to further boost the neighborhood's rejuvenation. "It would be lined with small shops, cafes, and stores," Zabinski said. "Cities get their vibrancy from the bottom up."
Walking back up Water Street from Kelly Square, I stumbled on Weintraub's, a delicatessen dating from 1920 and one of the few remnants of the former Jewish community. Beginning with the Irish, who dug the canal, Worcester's growth drew legions of immigrants in the 19th and early 20th centuries, including Swedes, French-Canadians, Italians, Armenians, Lithuanians, Poles, and Eastern European Jews.
My last stop of the day was at Canal Bar and Grill, a New Orleans-accented pub and restaurant on Water Street. Sitting at the bar, I ordered a series of appetizers. The corn and shrimp chowder was tasty and the fried green tomatoes with shrimp remoulade had a nice smoky flavor, with the tomatoes' texture detectable beneath the breaded fried exterior. While the jalapeno grits could have used a touch more salt, the heat level was just right.
My friendly bartender at Canal Bar and Grill, Alicia Pascarelli, found a transformed Canal District when she returned after college. "I'm just getting to know it now," she said.
In my excursions I discovered Worcester's good bones, a robust legacy to propel it forward.

San Francisco: Various big parties in the Deepwater Horizon oil rig disaster of five years ago came to an agreement on Wednesday over outstanding legal disputes with contractors related to the incident.
The disaster claimed the lives of 11 men and caused an 87-day oil spillage, the worst ever in US waters, as millions of tons of oil poured into the Gulf of Mexico.
BP, the owner of the Macondo well where the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded in 2010, settled with the rig's owner Transocean and with Halliburton, a cement sub-contractor for the subsea well.
Transocean, a Swiss company, will pay $212m to businesses and local governments that brought claims, plus undisclosed attorney's fees. BP has agreed to pay Transocean $125m to reimburse it for legal fees and has dropped all further claims.
BP and Halliburton also resolved their legal claims against each other but did not disclose any financial terms of the deal.
It's not the end of legal wrangling over the disaster as lawsuits against BP for economic and environmental damages are still going through US federal courts.

Home > DAPA / DACA > Streamlined, Bipartisan Immigration Bill Offered to Resolve DACA Dilemma
Streamlined, Bipartisan Immigration Bill Offered to Resolve DACA Dilemma
By Forrest G. Read IV on February 6, 2018
With the February 8th deadline for debate on DACA imminent and the March 5th DACA termination deadline approaching, legislators have been introducing bills to resolve the long-standing "Dreamer" issue.
Senators John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Christopher Coons (D-Del.) have introduced a simplified measure combining DACA and border security. It would grant permanent legal status to more than 1.8 million "Dreamers." It also would enhance security on the U.S. southern border initially through the use of drones and other technology. Under the bill, DHS must prepare a proposal regarding border security strategy within a year of passage. The bill does not provide immediate funding for a border wall. It is a companion bill to the bi-partisan Uniting and Securing America Act of 2017 (USA Act of 2017), introduced in the House by Representatives Will Hurd (R-Tex.) and Pete Aguilar (D-Cal.). That bill has 54 co-sponsors – 27 Democrats and 27 Republicans.
In an interview, Senator Coons stated he expect some border funding would have to be added. He also explained that he would continue to work with the "Common Sense Coalition" headed by Senators Susan Collins (R-Me.) and Joseph Manchin (D-W. Va.) to find a compromise on a path forward.
Earlier bipartisan legislation introduced by Senators Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) took a similar tack. Reportedly, President Donald Trump initially supported that bill, before ultimately rejecting it. Regarding Coons-McCain, President Trump has already tweeted the following:
Any deal on DACA that does not include STRONG border security and the desperately needed WALL is a total waste of time . . . March 5th is rapidly approaching and the Dems seem not to care about DACA. Make a deal!
The Administration continues to focus on its "four pillars" framework: border security (including a $25-billion trust fund for a wall), a 10- to 12-year path to citizenship for 1.8 million "Dreamers," an end to "chain migration," and an end to the diversity visa lottery. The McCain-Coons bill streamlines the issues and addresses only a pathway for Dreamers and enhanced border security.
In the meantime, DACA beneficiaries may continue to apply for renewal, while they await further court rulings. A case of particular interest is whether the Supreme Court will grant certiorari to review the legality of President Trump's rescission of the DACA program.

A Little Post for Thurs.
AP is flying his geeky dorkdom flag and every day another batch of "must have" comic books arrive in the mail.
It is leftover trauma from when AP's mum accidentally threw out a whole box of his favourite comics after he went to university many years ago.
Pickles and I took a walk through Farnham this afternoon because the sun came out and it was just too beautiful to stay in the house today. We stopped in a local art gallery and I got a much-needed creative fix.
Finally, the photo below is of me and one of my dearest friends, Carol. This was taken when I visited her last summer out at her lake house. Carol underwent a rather dramatic surgery yesterday and I was jittery and unsettled all day. Late into the evening I got the email I was waiting for…that she was out of surgery and that it went well. It was reported that she was sitting up in bed, smiling. Early this morning while going through the news feed I was very surprised to see an email pop up from Carol. It said, "Hey Kim! I survived!" And so you did, Carol. Well done my brave friend.
Great news about your friend Carol, my dear.


Your television may not be able to function properly causing you to do check ups where the fault is. If it as an issue with power, it may exhibit characteristics such as shutting itself off or using a longer time frame to get reception as soon as you power it. This is not a very big challenge as it can be solved by TV power supply fixing. Here are the steps you ought to follow.
There is certain tools that are required for you to do the repair easily. This includes a soldering iron, screwdriver, solder, capacitor, and solder sucker. Check whether your toolbox includes all of this equipment. If they are missing, you may have to visit an electronic shop to buy them. Check to see where exactly the problem is for you to know what should be repaired. For device power supplies, the capacitors are normally the problem and can leak preventing the monitor from being powered.
After you have unplugged the television from the power source, place it with the monitor facing down on an area so that the screen is not damaged. Loosen all of the screws that you see on the back panel by use of a screwdriver. Once you have removed all of them, remove the back panel of your device and place it aside. You may have to wiggle it as there are no bolts securing it.
The next step is to locate where the circuit board is by following the board that the power cord is linked to. Disconnect the screws and connectors by using a screwdriver from the board. Ensure you note where they all came from as you will have to reattach them as they were. It is imperative you take pictures so that you do not get confused during reattaching. After the connectors and screws are unattached, remove the circuit board.
Find the malfunctioning capacitors. They are shaped like small cylinders and are different in height and width. Probably all of them appear normal. Search for those that have a brown to yellow fluid at the top or seem to have swollen at the surface. Such an appearance indicates that they have been overheated hence causing the problem. While you are getting rid of them, make sure that the copper pads are not destroyed.
Once you remove the faulty ones, use the new ones to replace them. Take note of the positive polarity and negative polarity when substituting them. You should then indicate the negative leads that are on the board using the soldering iron. The negative section is characterized by a grey stripe. Since the capacitors are polarity sensitive, make sure they are installed well.
Reassemble the device and the check power. After replacing connectors, back panel and screws, confirm whether the issue has been resolved. A power surge probably may have caused the fuse to blow. If the problem is not yet resolved, test the fuse. You will have to look for the appropriate fuse and replace it with the old one.
Once the fuse has been changed, and the problem has not been fixed, it may be time to substitute the circuit board. This is because if it has any faults, your television may not work properly. However, this process is crucial, and you should know the necessary steps you ought to follow.

Designing and building high performance homes, and especially Passive Houses, becomes far more challenging if dehumidification is needed. And even if dehumidification is not yet needed in your climate today, it may be needed in the future. Most climates are warming; some rapidly. Warmer air holds more moisture, and even parts of North America which never suffered humid days in the past may get muggy, sticky days in the future.
Uncomfortable summer humidity is often accompanied by high outdoor temperatures. Exterior shading, night flush cooling, and other passive design strategies may keep your home cool, but not reduce humidity. Fortunately, if you need an "active" mechanical cooling system like a mini-split heat pump or air conditioner (AC), that system usually incidentally removes some humidity from the air at the same time it cools it.
However, cooling air and removing humidity from it occur differently. Removing moisture from air requires cooling the air well below the dew point or temperature at which the moisture will condense into water and drip into the collection pan. That temperature may be uncomfortably low. In short, your mini-split/AC may cool and dehumidify at the same time, but not in the desired proportions.
You high-performance home may be a challenge for your mini-split/AC system. Here's why. A cooling system is designed to run when a high indoor dry bulb temperature is reached. A high-performance passive house typically may only need cooling for a few hours of the day. The cooling system may not run long enough to remove the enough moisture to maintain comfort. Running the cooling system at a lower indoor temperature to achieve the necessary dehumidification may make your house uncomfortably cold. Some mini-splits/AC systems have settings allows you to vary their cooling and dehumidification function, but those settings may not be sufficient for your mini-split/AC system to produce both the desired temperature and the desired humidity.
A separate dehumidifier may be the best solution. Like ventilators providing fresh air from the outdoors and removing stale, polluted air from your home (see Heating/Energy Recovery Ventilators), dehumidifiers can be for the whole-house or just for a single room. There are pros and cons to both, and your HVAC designer/installer will guide you on these options. We have listed Vendors for both systems in two categories.
It is worth noting that many HVAC system designers/installers still do not have experience with high-performance or Passive Houses. They may not realize that the passive comfort features of your home radically reduce your heating and cooling loads. Thus, do not allow an HVAC installer who is not familiar with your Passive House to "over-design" your system as they commonly will do to assure there are no comfort complaints. HVAC systems which are unnecessarily large may provide too much cooling or heat, likely will operate sub-optimally in other respects, cost more than necessary, and waste substantial electricity over their lifetime.
Just as cooling and heating systems may be over-sized for a Passive House, you'll want expert advice on whether a whole-house system is necessary. Or a single-room humidifier is sufficient. For example, if you have an ERV, it should tend to maintain consistent, comfortable humidity inside your home. Potentially well below the high outdoor air humidity level. In that case, perhaps you'll need relatively little "active" dehumidification from a dehumidifier. If the ERV is running continuously, then operating a dehumidifier in just one or two rooms may be sufficient to bring the humidity throughout your house to comfortable levels.
Thanks to Matt Bowers at Rochester Passive House for assistance on this article.
Here in Portland, Oregon, we are blessed with a "Mediterranean" climate in the summer. Almost three full months with hardly any rain, no uncomfortable humidity, and only 20-30 days over 90F/23C. However, in recent years we've seen more summer thunderstorms with one or two days of humidity building up ahead of them, but it's short-lived and generally-speaking we're amateurs at summer dehumidification.
Passive House design and planning originated in Germany at a time when there was little or no challenge with summer humidity. In fact, the Passivhaus Institut (PHI) which developed the Passive House Standard has traditionally been far more concerned with ensuring adequate indoor humidity in cold and dry, continental European winters. Over-ventilation in winter that reduces indoor humidity was their chief concern about indoor humidity.
The Passive House Institute U.S. (PHIUS) quickly recognized the energy consumption and design/construction challenge related to controlling summer humidity. Today, both PHI and PHIUS adjust their building certification cooling energy demand limits to factor in dehumidification energy. However, even with these higher cooling energy demand limits, energy-efficient dehumidifiers are needed to meet PHI/PHIUS limits.

Home Travel Provence Bucket List: Top 15 Best Things To Do in Provence, France
Provence Bucket List: Top 15 Best Things To Do in Provence, France
Have you ever wondered about the real-life equivalent of where your favorite fairy tales happened? The soaring mountains, the high castles, the endless fields of flowers, the alluring forests, the narrow European streets, the mesmerizing port cities, the clear blue waters against the sky, and so many familiar settings we've all come to know from our favorite movies.
Best Things To Do in Provence
Provence is the place where fairy tales become real life. It is a small geographical region in the Southeast of France that borders Italy and faces the Mediterranean sea. While it is a relatively small region, it is so diverse that there are a lot of things that a traveler can experience.
In this article, we'll literally live out your fairy tale fantasies by diving deep into the 15 things that you can do in Provence.
Hike and swim at the Gorges du Verdon
Have you ever wondered where the captivating canyons against bright turquoise water exist on this Earth?
It's actually in Provence, in the Gorges du Verdon scenery that runs through 25 kilometers of the Verdon National Park. It is known as one of Europe's best sceneries to offer.
These are tall limestone canyons against clear bright waters under a warm sun. You can swim through the waters and enjoy the heat against your skin. You can also rent a boat if you choose to enjoy the scenery without getting yourself wet.
These waters can be reached by hiking through the canyons.
Watch boats in the Old Port of Marseille
Old Port of Marseille
The Old Port of Marseille has been one of Europe's trading hubs since ancient times. At present, the port is now a tourist destination with stylish boutique hotels and cafés.
There are lots of things that you can do in the Old Port of Marseille alone. You can watch the boats and the people while you enjoy the setting sun against the port. You can shop for fresh fish early in the morning in the Quai des Belges Fish Market. You can climb up the Saint Marie lighthouse. You can ride the eco-friendly ferry and cruise along the waters.
Those are just a few of the long list of activities that you can do in the Old Port of Marseille.
Wander around the walls of the Pope Palace in Avignon
The Palais des Papes is a historical palace located in Avignon, Southern France.
This palace served as the home to Avignon popes for over six decades in the 14th century. At present, it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Palais des Papes features a construction that is owed from the French popes who lived here—multileveled fortresses, high towers, ornately decorated walls, decorative windows, long passages and so much more.
It's a bit eerie to be touring around these walls, however, there is a certain magic to it. The excitement and mystery of being in a place where popes used to live will certainly call to the adventurer within you.
Sunbathe along the French Riviera

The French Riviera is the Mediterranean coast of France features pristine beaches and clear turquoise waters. Since it is an established holiday destination, the tourism industry within this coast is quite strong, with large beach resorts and hotels.
You can choose to swim in the waters, sunbathe along the coast, attend an outdoor festival, party in the streets, and even witness the world-famous Cannes Film Festival that is held within French Riviera. Sadly, the normal person cannot buy tickets into this flamboyant affair. But you can still join in with the hustle and bustle that this film festival stirs within the area!
There is also a magical hidden medieval village that is quite unheard of by tourists. It has the same feel as movies like Jack the Giant Slayer and Robin Hood.
Learn about the Romans in the Roman Ruins of Cimiez

Cimiez is located in Nice and it houses the ruins of the Roman town Cemenelum. This ancient Roman city is similar in size to Pompeii and has a large majestic bath, an amphitheater, a market square, and a temple.
It's certainly a good opportunity that you shouldn't pass on. While the majority of the city ruins are buried, the excavations have unearthed the bathhouse.
Tickets are extremely cheap at €10 for adults.
Aside from the ruins, you can also visit the Cimiez Monastery where the remains of famous French artists lie.
Relax in the lavender fields of Senanque Abbey in Gordes

If there is one central attraction of Provence that has probably made it into most travelers' bucket list—it's this one. These are vast lavender fields that when in full bloom, look absolutely stunning. It is truly a beauty to marvel at.
This is also probably the best time to snap those aesthetic, Instagram-worthy travel pictures that you've always dreamt to have.
The lavender fields are beside the Senanque Abbey, looking grey and majestic as it serves as a time capsule from the 11th century.
Plan your trip around the bloom of the flowers to fully get an experience; they bloom in June to August.
Kayak through the Pont du Gard aqueduct
Kayaking at Pont du Gard
The Pont du Gard aqueduct bridge was built by the Romans nearly 2000 years ago and at present, it is one of the best-preserved ruins from ancient times.
This is a massive aqueduct that lies 160 feet above the waters of the Gardon River. It spans up to three storeys tall.
You can kayak or wade through the rivers and be able to enjoy these magnificent remains of the past.
Marvel at The Ochre Cliffs of Roussillon
The Ochre Cliffs of Roussillon
These are unusual cliffs that are normally ochre in color. However, depending on the color of the sun (especially during sunset), the cliffs can reflect differently from its natural ochre.
These cliffs are truly magnificent with earth pillars and sand hillocks. The color of the sand is not the only thing unusual about these cliffs but the shape, too. The shape of the terrain is organic, resembling something you would see on Mars rather than on Earth.
You can choose to go on a group hike along these cliffs, where you will get to explore it up close and get to learn about its unique flora life. There is also a conservatory where you can learn about the ocher heritage of these cliffs.
Hop on a boating tour in Calanques
Boating tour in Calanques
The Calanques coastline is one of the most popular landmarks in Provence. It borders the port cities of Marseille and Cassis and is well-known for its white limestone formations against turquoise waters.
These limestone cliffs look like they've been taken off a Disney animated movie. It stretches over 2 miles and is considered to be a national park.
There are lots of things to do within these cliff channels, such as hopping on a boat for a tour around the area, kayaking, swimming, or getting to know the specific ecosystem that is within these cliffs.
There are also lots of restaurants to dine in nearby, in case you go hungry. We suggest the restaurant's Le Lunch and Le Chateau for delicious meals.

Famed classical painter Vincent Van Gogh actually spent a few months in Provence, particularly in Arles and Saint-Remy de Provence. During his stay, he painted over 350 works. He moved to Southern France in his search for the "yellow sun" that he so admired from Japanese paintings.
Unfortunately, there are no more remaining paintings of Vincent Van Gogh in Provence. All paintings are now kept safe and on display by famous museums all over the world. What remains in Provence are replicas of his paintings, mainly showcasing the beautiful landscape and scenery that Provence has to offer.
He actually painted his arguably most famous work, The Starry Night, in Arles.
Most of his paintings were crafted during his stay in the Saint Remy psychiatric hospital.

Taste liquor at the Manguin Distillery in Île de la Barthelasse
The orchard for pears and peaches within this island that used to be connected to mainland Avignon via a bridge started in the 1940s. These fruits are now "imprisoned" on bottles and hanged on branches, as the most visually interesting step within the process of fermenting the pear brandies that the distillery is known for.
At present, they offer tours that dive deep into the distillation process of their famous "jailed" pears in a bottle, and you'll find yourself walking away with a glass or two in your hands.
Aside from the Manguin Distillery, Île de la Barthelasse is also a great place for biking along the vast trail and open spaces.

Preview: Clayton Kershaw Looks For Redemption Against Rockies
One day after losing a rare heartbreaker at home, the Los Angeles Dodgers look to get back in the win column as they square off with the Colorado Rockies for the second of their four-game series.
Clayton Kershaw look to right the ship from an individual standpoint, taking the mound against the Rockies for the second time in five days. When he faced the Rockies in Colorado on Sunday, the suddenly human Kershaw gave up five runs on eight hits, but the offense bailed him out with nine runs in a game the Dodgers won, 9-5.
For the season, Kershaw is 1-2 with a 4.26 ERA, which has left many to ponder the reasons for his subpar start to the season. Though manager Don Mattingly is not among them as he said prior to Friday's game Kershaw has thrown the ball fine from his standpoint.
Kershaw can earn his 100th career win Friday night and he is 6-0 in his last seven starts against the Rockies.
Just like last Friday in Colorado, the Dodgers once again face Eddie Butler, who was highly effective against the Boys in Blue. He allowed just two runs on five hits and was the victim of poor run support in a 2-1 loss to the Dodgers.
Butler also allowed two runs to the Dodgers when he faced them at Dodger Stadium April 19, but the Rockies were shutout and Butler suffered another loss. In his first full season with the Rockies, the 24-year-old right-hander is 2-3 with a 3.73 ERA.
Perhaps the biggest news of the day came hours before the game, when the Dodgers announced they reactivated closer Kenley Jansen from the disabled list. As for the Dodgers lineup, Yasmani Grandal makes a fifth consecutive start and catches Kershaw for the third time this season.
Scott Van Slyke also earns another start in left field and bats eighth, giving the Dodgers extra pop at the end of the lineup. Juan Uribe continues to be the odd man looking in as Justin Turner gets the nod at third base.
Dodgers Lineup:
CF: Joc Pederson
SS: Jimmy Rollins
2B: Howie Kendrick
1B: Adrian Gonzalez
3B: Justin Turner
C: Yasmani Grandal
RF: Andre Ethier
LF: Scott Van Slyke
P: Clayton Kershaw
Rockies Lineup:
LF: Charlie Blackmon
SS: Troy Tulowitzki
3B: Nolan Arenado

Tachinidae (muve guseničarke, tahine), porodica dvokrilaca koja parazitira na štetočinama, tako da se ubrajaju u vrlo korisne insekte važne u suzbijanju štetočina. Ženke odlažu jaja u blizini domadara (gusenice) na biljku kojom se domadar hrani ili pojedinačno na kožu domadara probijajuči njegovu kožu posebnom iglicom ili pilom u koju onda izleže jaja. Gusenica muve isprva se hrani krvi domadara, a kasnije isišu i sve unutarnje organe nakon čega se izvlače iz uginulog domaćina. Neke vrste imaju po dve, pa i tri generacije godišnje

Muve tahine koje legu jaja u blizini domadara ili na tlu koje kasnije traže domaćina legu oko 1.000-5.000 jaja, dok one koje polažu jaja u domaćinu legu oko 30-100 jaja.

Tahine parazitiraju na više vrsta leptira, a od njih neke i na preko 60, Compsilura concinnata, koja napada i neke ose listarice. Ernestia rudis odlaže jaja na domaćina. Sturmia gilva je mala muva koja parazitira na više vrsta leptira, a jaja polaže na biljku kojom se domadar hrani. Carcelia chelonidae parazitira u gusenicama leptira i nekih drugih insekata. Tachina larvarum je najraširenija vrsta poznata kao parazit na šumskim i poljoprivrednim štetočinama.

Postoji blizu 10.000 vrsta ovih muha, od kojih neke pripadaju podporodicama Dexiinae, Exoristinae, Goniinae i Phasiinae.

Jojo's Araki, 1,000 Twitter/Facebook Fans to Redraw Kingdom Manga
posted on 2012-05-17 12:13 EDT by Jennifer Sherman
Slam Dunk 's Inoue, Salaryman Kintaro 's Motomiya, Kingdom anime's voice cast to also participate
The collaborative "Social Kingdom " campaign launched in Japan this Friday to celebrate the upcoming television anime adaptation of Yasuhisa Hara 's historical manga Kingdom . Manga creators Hirohiko Araki ( JoJo's Bizarre Adventure , BAOH ), Takehiko Inoue ( Slam Dunk , Vagabond ), and Hiroshi Motomiya ( Salaryman Kintaro , Ore no Sora ) are participating in the project to redraw the 26th volume of the Kingdom manga .
Beginning on May 18, 1,000 of the campaign's Twitter and Facebook fans are joining the manga authors to recreate the volume. Participants select one of the about 1,000 panels from the book, redraw Hara's illustrations, and upload the art to create a new version of the manga. Visitors to the campaign's website will then vote for the best submissions, and contributors of the top 100 pieces will each receive a "Social Kingdom " booklet created from the project's art.
Voice actors from the manga's anime adaptation and celebrities who like Kingdom will also participate. Anyone with a Twitter or Facebook account can contribute. The campaign's creators plan to submit the "Social Kingdom " project to Guinness World Records as the "Manga Written by the Most People."
The manga's story begins with Xin and Hyō, two boys without families in the Warring States Period when China has been embroiled in war for five centuries. Despite living like slaves, the boys strive to realize their dream of becoming warlords.
Hara's manga has been running in Shueisha 's Weekly Young Jump magazine since 2006, and the 26th compiled book shipped in Japan on May 18. Jun Kamiya ( D.I.C.E. , Blue Seed , The Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye ) is directing the anime adaptation at the Studio Pierrot , and Naruhisa Arakawa ( Blue Seed , Steel Angel Kurumi , Elemental Gelade ) is in charge of series scripts. The anime is slated to premiere in Japan in June.

Criptofascismo es un término peyorativo implicando una simpatía secreta o admiración por el fascismo. El término es usado para denotar que un grupo o individuo mantiene su apoyo en secreto para evitar persecución social o suicidio político.

El término fue atribuido a Gore Vidal. En una entrevista televisiva durante el caos de la convencención Nacional Democrática de 1968, Vidal calificó a William F. Buckley, Jr. de "cripto-nazi", corrigiéndolo luego como "cripto-fascista". Por otro lado, el término apareció cinco años antes en un libro alemán de Theodor W. Adorno, Der getreue Korrepetitor (El fiel Répétiteur).

I've been thinking about doing an in-depth post on WordPress Visual Editors (besides Thrive Content Builder & Beaver Builder, which of course are still my favorites!) for a while now. I'm still planning on it, but thought I would do a podcast episode first to gauge the interest as it's probably going to be a pretty time-intensive piece of content (which is O.K. too, but nothing like getting a little validation first).
There are a LOT of WordPress Visual editors on the market now and I expect we're going to see more.
I'm going to skip any of the visual builders that have shown up in JV Zoo during the past year because I have no idea if they're going to be around or supported (not that I can guarantee this with the rest of these plugins, but more they'll more than likely be here longer than the JVZoo products).
What's interesting is that I've had this conversation a few times now (I think I've talked about this on the podcast before), but with the amount of new tools and options that are starting to show up I thought it was time to revisit this.
We'll start by addressing the elephant in the room.
Which is whether or not you should use page builders.
Obviously you know my answer, but before you write them off, let's talk about when and why you would want to use a page builder. If you look at why the team at Beaver Builder created their awesome plugin it was simple. They wanted to find a way to be more efficient with their client work. They were repeating tasks/work on their client projects and wanted to deploy the sites quicker. So they built the solution they needed.
Less time on a project does NOT mean it has less value. You're still providing the client with what they want and you're doing it quicker.
I know there are arguments out there about it not being as clean (referring to code here) or as light on the site… but I think we should look at this from the bigger picture.
Do you want to use a visual builder for every page or certain pages? What types of pages do you want to create with the builder?
If it's for a client, will they be managing the site or will you? If they will, how easy is the page builder to use?
What is the support like for the visual builder you're using?
Does it work well with the other plugins & theme(s) you like to use?
If you can complete the site in half the time while maintaining the quality and it accomplishes everything you want, what are the reasons you wouldn't want to use this?
Do you (or the client) like to change things around frequently?
That being said, here are the page builders I'm going to talk about today. Keep in mind this isn't a full list… it's simply the ones I've looked at, used or currently use. If you guys want me to do a full post / video review of these tools let me know. It will take a decent amount of time to complete it, but I'll make it as complete as possible.
Thrive Content Builder: O.K., I won't go into details here on this because I've written about Thrive a handful of times and am about to publish a new post with 4 videos on Thrive for you (which I'll link to as soon as it's published, but in the meantime you can checkout a recent post I did where I explained why I use Thrive & Beaver Builder). I primarily use Thrive for landing pages (sales pages, squeeze pages, webinar pages, etc.). But in the post I'm about to publish I used the Thrive Content Builder for the first time in a standard post. Pretty awesome!
Beaver Builder: See above. 🙂 I'll do an updated post on Beaver Builder in the coming months, but in the meantime you can checkout the recent post & video I did on why I use Thrive and Beaver Builder. I use Beaver Builder for creating site pages. One of the most amazing things with Beaver Builder is the community support. There are a lot of 3rd party developers creating add-ons (keeping the core plugin lighter and more streamlined). What I love about this is that the Beaver Builder team is completely supportive and is active within the Beaver Builder Facebook group.
Elementor: This is the newest page builder to hit the web and I have to say, I'm LOVING it. Oh… and it's FREE (right now). It almost feels like the WordPress customizer because the Elementor visual editor is on the left side of the page, but it's SUPER easy to use. I will definitely be doing a full post and videos on this soon. But you can easily create an entire site with this page builder (this reminds me a little of Beaver Builder and what you can do with it). I'm probably going to reach out to the team at Elementor to have them on the podcast. I'm guessing that they're doing a freemium model where the core will be free and they'll monetize it with add-ons (again, just my hunch but I can't imagine them not having a monetization model around this).
Visual Composer: I bought this plugin a while ago but didn't fall in love with it like I thought I would. I'll go more in depth with this when I do the full post of visual editors, but Visual Composer has both a backend and a front-end editor (I prefer the front-end editor. I have a hard time visualizing things in blocks in the WordPress editor. Also why I didn't get into Divi… although their front-end editor is coming SOON and it looks fabulous!). Visual Composer is one of the top selling WordPress plugins on Code Canyon and has a lot of add-on plugins. The one thing I don't like are the amount of shortcodes that Visual Composer leaves behind when the plugin is deactivated (although to be totally transparent I've never looked at what is left behind with Thrive or Beaver Builder… sounds like a good video for the WordPress Visual Editors post!).
Forge: Forge is also a more recent addition to this space and is also FREE. Forge has add-ons (the model I was referencing with Elementor) but the core plugin is free. I've only played with this briefly but will go into more depth with the full post. It's a front-end visual editor and the elements panel looks nice (I'm a geek about color and icons, which they have both, although I do like the cleanliness of the non-colored elements as well). Stay tuned for more info. on Forge as I haven't really dug too much into this.
MotoPress: I've looked at MotoPress a handful of times and think I'm going to jump in and buy a license (for the upcoming post of course). It's got a similar feel to Beaver Builder & Elementor, but the editing pane is a little different. I haven't decided where I stand on this yet because I need to use it more. MotoPress is a premium plugin (very affordable… which actually, all of the premium options are affordable. When you take into consideration how much time and money you save with these page builders (not to mention how much money you can make with them), it's kind of a no-brainer. MotoPress also has add-ons for the core plugin (not a ton since it comes with quite a bit in the core).
So last night my friend and mastermind behind WP Elevation & Rockstar Empire Launches, Troy Dean, was in San Francisco. He & his wife Amy (who is awesome too), were winding up their month long journey through the states (they're from Australia for those of you who don't know Troy) and GoDaddy hosted a meetup at their San Francisco office (which was awesome, thanks GoDaddy! You'll be hearing more about them in the upcoming months as I'll be interviewing someone for the podcast and they have some really cool new things in the works for WordPress).
To say hanging with Troy was as much fun in person as I expected it to be is an understatement.
I don't want to go into some crazy fan-girl post about Troy here, but anytime you can meet an online friend in person it's ALWAYS worth it. Even if it means commuting into San Francisco (and getting stuck on the bridge going home at midnight because of the Giants game and closed lanes on the bridge. SO grateful I don't commute).
You'll be hearing more about Rockstar Empire launches from me in the upcoming months… and a few other surprises I talked to Troy about last night! Stay tuned for more next month.
Freedom Papers Podcast – COMING SOON!
I am SOOOO excited about this new show with my dear friend, Jon Perez!
We'll have our launch episodes ready to go by the end of this week (just editing and writing now) and will officially launch the show on Monday, August 8th. We haven't even launched this and I can tell you that I'm really proud of what we're doing and how we're doing it. We're going deeper into our businesses (and will be doing this with other people's businesses on the show) and are essentially pulling back the curtain (Troy used this analogy a lot last night…. and I love the idea of just sharing it all).
Sign up to hear about Freedom Papers Podcast here!
Thanks for the awesome mention at the end of your podcast. So thrilled for the mention of my review and me! Love your Podcast, always waiting for the next one to be uploaded. Arttia (Creative Limited) is my business name. My name is Belinda, over here in the UK. So hi from sunny England! I'm also one of Troys WP Elevators!
Love that you're a WP Elevator too… Troy is such a great guy! Hi back from 'too hot California' (I'm SO ready for fall! haha.. been over 100 here for the last week!).
haha.. good question, right? I did a post on Thrive & Beaver Builder explaining why I use both. I don't do a lot of site building for other people anymore so I tend to use Thrive most often because it's got the most marketing pages (sales pages, optin pages, etc.). I think it's great that more options are hitting the marketplace. I'm playing with Elementor right now and really like it. Beaver Builder & Elementor are probably more similar with the types of pages you can create (although you can do whatever with all of them, I'm referring more to the templates that come with the plugins) and better for building sites. Think it's all just a preference for what you like working with. Not much help, huh? haha… Thanks Teri!


I am working on a new set of calendar design every year based on the upcoming fashion trend.
From a reliable source…the colour for 2010 is beach, marine and coral reef. To my amazement…after some research and finding, I am playing with one of the most beautiful material I ever encounter…the marine species. Although my preference of colour always been very pastel and clean, but I can't deny how abruptly beautiful and unique they are – like never before.
I guess…when God is not too busy attending to us, He probably spend some of His leisure time exploring His creativity and sense of humor in the world last hidden wilderness.
Lastly…if you are amazed by these droplets from God's palette…please read this!
The world's oceans are teaming with vivid life sources, that can only be appreciated through the lens of the naked eye. When these species become extinct, how can we ever find such amazing wildlife, surviving among us that offer such delectable colour palettes and limitless inspiration?
Is all about us making a different. We have the responsibility to ensure the oceans continue to live and breathe for the future generations.
This is another art piece base on my favorite tree…the birch.
The common name birch is derived from an old Germanic root, birka, with the Proto-Indo-European root, "white, bright; to shine." The Proto-Germanic rune berkanan is named after the birch. The botanic name Betula is from the original Latin.
The Birch is remarkable for its power of holding its own, and spreading, amongst heather, where other species are commonly stifled unless protected. Thus, formerly it was not a common tree in Epping Forest, but, from this power and its enormous production of seeds, which are scattered far and wide by the wind, owing to the little wing attached to them, it is now spreading rapidly, springing up spontaneously wherever the soil is dry, if a clearing has been made by fire or felling. The Birch has been noticed as being, in fact, well equipped for the battle for life.
I choose the Silver Birch, which standing tall and straight in numbers in the winter landscape. The posture of the tree reminded me of people standing together with beatitude. They are interconnect because of their upright posture, and synchronizing their act with the way, the word of the One. They are well equipped for the battle of life, a standing inspiration with overflowing grace and wisdom.
I break this art piece to 3 pieces frame, which works out an interesting connection through the connecting breeze line. This is very much my choice of colour and theme to go in the dining hall.

To see: Leith Hill Tower, sited on the highest point in the south-east of England.
ALWAYS follow the Greenlane Code!
This BOAT is all about hills. It starts life as a relatively steep ascent up towards the Coldharbour Cricket Club's ground, a delightful little ground with an awesome view over the Surrey Hills. The lane here, at it's eastern end, is not quite a metalled road (see left), but it's very easy going despite the slope and therefore there is little to report for this section. However, once you've crested the hill and found your way past the club's car park (at around one third of the total length), the lane proper begins. The surface changes to dirt, and the lane enters oak woodland. It winds around on the relatively level (if muddy) ground near the summit of Hill 288 for a while, before it begins a relatively sharp descent down the side of the valley that runs between Leith Hill and Hill 288.
Here the lane gets a little challenging. It's relatively rutted, but by no means dramatically so, and therefore care must be taken to ensure your wheels are taking a safe path. This job is more complex than sounds as, towards it's southern end, the lane takes a series of constrained right turns, before turning left so sharply that it took us two attempts to make it! This 180 degree turn could be quite confusing: the lane appears to finish in a staked-off area with no obvious way out, that is until you look way back over your left shoulder! (see pic, right. It's steeper than it looks.) Down the hill, the lane ends where it meets Abinger Road, just near Cockshot Farm.
This is not a lane to attempt in very wet, wintry conditions. You will, like any mud hole of a hillclimb, definitely get stuck on the mud and wet leaves. Sliding back down out of control will not be popular with the myriad of families, ramblers, dog walkers, NT members and cyclists who use the route regularly! Honestly, this is a very busy area on a weekend. If you want to drive it, do it during a dry spell and on a weekday.
Whilst you're here, check out the gothic 18th century tower on Leith Hill, a folly constructed on top of the hightest point in south-east England. The views are simply astounding.

A: Writing nested for-each instructions is the most common mistake made by beginners in XSLT. This isn't the way to do it: start by using template rules, and only use for-each when you understand the language well enough to know the cases where it's useful.
Of course in this case you could also simplify the code by using a path:
<xsl:for-each select="DestinationResults/Destination/HotelAvailabilityListResults/Hotel">

Debugging problems like this requires a clear understanding of the XML tree structure, and it would be much easier to obtain that understanding if you indented the XML properly. I'm not sure what you mean by "multiple Hotel orders" - I only see one order in your second example. Perhaps the problem is that your second example doesn't have the DestinationResults/Destination/HotelAvailabilityListResults wrapper elements which your stylesheet is assuming; at any rate, if they are there then you haven't shown them. Putting the code in a template rule with match="Hotel" would avoid this dependency on what's present in the wrapper.
