It is a wise choice to think about the topic of how to make a blog site. A blog site can be anything from being a diary about your life to a distribution channel of the quarterly announced finances of a big corporation. It's totally and only up to you how you want to approach and proceed.
Having a blog is a huge asset. It can bring you additional revenue as well as unexpected partnership proposal. In addition, people are more than curious to follow matters that interested them.
One of the best parts of blogging is that you can write just the way you like and people still like to read it. If you write honestly and don't pretend to be something you aren't, people will notice it and respect you even more.
On the other hand, if you're trying to blog something if you don't know that well neither have passion with, people will notice that as well. In that case, your blogging enthusiasm will collapse eventually.
So make sure to start blogging about matters you care and have a passion for.
With that being said, let's begin our guide of How to Make a Blog Site.
It's the first dawn of a new era. You have just decided to put your own blog together. First of all, you have to figure out which blogging platform to use. That should be an easy task: Choose WordPress. It is the most comprehensive open source content management system online till this date. Sure, you can pick one of the free alternatives such as Blogger or Wix.
Remember in this case that you don't have the complete power of your new blog if choosing a free platform. Even though it might be a rare occasion, Google or Wix can shut down your site whenever they so desire. They can explain it by "violating terms and condition". You don't come across that with self-hosted WordPress – blog.
So I recommend you to stick with WordPress – platform.
Furthermore, you have to pick a domain name and web hosting. I personally bought my domain FlowingFirm.com from Godaddy.com. That is perhaps the most straightforward way to get a domain name. Another choice for getting a domain name is to go NameCheap.com.
If it's an easy task to grab a domain name, it might not be as quick to decide the domain name itself. I twiddled around several names in my mind before deciding to pick one. If you don't have the name of your new site decided yet, spend a couple of minutes (or more if needed) thinking about it. Just write down few good choices and then spin them around.
You can get some domain name suggestions from DomainIt.com.
Picking a right hosting can be a pain in the bottom if not having any clue at the first place. I use InMotion Hosting with all my sites. Their resell package allows me to sell hosting space straight to my clients. I've designed countless of websites during my career so having an own server has allowed me to build a passive income stream solely on selling hosting.
Nonetheless, I suggest you choose the hosting for your new blog from Bluehost. It offers a helpful one click WordPress installation which comes handy very soon. Just grab one of the affordable packets offered from the beginning. There is no need to pay extra for something fancy at this point.
Like I stated in the previous section if you pick one of the best choices for hosting, such as Bluehost, installing WordPress is easy. You'll just click one button inside the hosting provider cPanel and you're good to go.
Nevertheless, if you decide you choose some other solution for hosting, no worries. It's really easy to just install WordPress in that case too. You'll just acquire the cPanel login details from the hosting provider, download an FTP-software (for instance FileZilla), and upload the newest WordPress-files you have gotten from WordPress.org to the public_html – folder of your server.
After getting the files to the server, you have to just visit this URL www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin/install.php (change yourdomain.com with the domain you chose earlier during this day) and follow the given instructions.
You will have to create MySQL-database and user during this process, though, so make sure your hosting provider offers these. Bluehost and Inmotion Hosting do. After adding these details and determining username and password for the WordPress admin panel, you have successfully installed WordPress.
Wow, I think doing these tasks will do just fine for the Day 1 of How to Make a Blog Site. Now, it's a wonderful time to relax for one night and come back tomorrow for Day 2. You will learn what theme to choose and plugins to use on your brand new WordPress – blog tomorrow.
On Day 2 of How to Make a Blog Site, you will learn to choose a theme for your new WordPress – blog. In addition, we will take a close look what kind of plugins you should add to your blog in order to help it run more efficiently.
Without further ado, let's jump into choosing a theme for your brand new blog.
There are a couple of different choices when picking a new theme for a WordPress – blog. You can find a suitable one from thousands of free WordPress themes. Just do a quick googling by typing keywords, for example, "free WordPress theme for blog site", and there you go.
It actually doesn't matter too much what theme you choose to start with. You can always change it later when you have found your own style of blogging. Furthermore, you might develop an own brand with certain colors as well helping you to determine the overall look of your site.
Moreover, another way to find free themes is to go to your brand new WordPress dashboard and click Themes inside Appearance – tab. Then click 'Add New Theme' which leads you to the page where you can find over 2500 different free themes. I'm sure you will be able to discover the one for your site from that amount, won't you?
If you pick a theme inside WordPress – dashboard, installing a theme is an easy peasy. Just choose a theme and click blue 'Install' – button. It does not get any easier than that.
Whereas if you download a theme outside of WordPress – dashboard, you'll have two choices to install a theme: You can use FTP-software again or upload the theme via WordPress – dashboard.
How to upload a theme into the blog?
Using an FTP-program is not a problem anymore since you already have downloaded FileZilla on Day 1. Just extract the zip file to your computer, locate Themes – folder inside the server from 'public_html/wp-content/ – path, and upload theme folder there.
Uploading theme via WordPress – dashboard is even easier. When reaching Add Themes – page (just like we talked about above), instead of browsing a new theme, click 'Upload Theme' – button upper side of the page. Then push 'Choose File' and locate the zip file from your computer.
If everything went correctly, you should have a new theme installed after clicking 'Install Now' – button.
If you are not satisfied for the supply of free WordPress themes, don't worry. You can always pay a couple of tens of dollars in order to get a more powerful and better-looking theme. There are plenty of providers out there such as TemplateMonster or Elegant Themes.
If you have few spare dollars at the beginning, you should invest in paid theme. It will give your blog more professional look compared to free themes. In addition, you have more possibilities to customize it in the future when your blogging skills have enhanced better and better.
Sure, you can upgrade a free theme to a paid one when you begin to earn money online. Just remember that it will take time, require plenty of writing, and you cannot give up at any point.
A WordPress plugin is a way to make your blog more functional and comprehensive. There are a couple of vital plugins you should install immediately after getting your blog setup and the theme picked up.
With these free plugins your brand new site will work better, faster, and more secure. All in all, the site have a chance to reach more audience with social aspect in the mind, too.
Spend an hour or so for installing all these free plugins. Trust me, you will save yourself for countless of headaches in the future.
That's all for Day 2 of How to Make a Blog Site. On Day 3 it is time to start blogging!
Finally, the exciting part of How to Make a Blog Site starts on Day 3. Since blogging equals writing, it's very important to get it going as soon as possible.
You must aim to write every day in the beginning at least for a month. In that way, you will get more comfortable with writing. At the same time, you'll generate a new, creative habit for yourself.
It doesn't matter too much what kind of text you are producing at first. Like said, the most important thing is to get familiar with writing. You should concentrate on typing at least 30 uninterrupted minutes per day, preferably an hour.
Just stick with your chosen theme in your texts and try to write 500-word articles. Your first post can be an introductory article about yourself or the blog. Furthermore, you can jump straight to the point if you desire so.
After writing your first blog post, previewing it and publishing it to the world, you might want to take a look at some errors and mistakes, too. Nobody is perfect, least when learning to do something new.
You should take a close look at the format of the blog. There might be some errors with colors, phrasing, or anything else.
Welcome to the world of the internet!
If you come across insurmountable problems, just turn to Google. There is a huge chance that someone else has had the same exact question answered.
Anyway, if everything seems to be in good order after publishing your first post, feel free to take a break and come back tomorrow on Day 4 of How to Make a Blog Site.
During the Day 4, it is time to get more social. That means you are going to create social media visibility from the biggest sites out there. It is possible to skyrocket a new blog site just on social media traffic. You should not take it lightly.
Every time you're writing a blog post (like you should do every day in the beginning), you should share it via your social media accounts. In addition, you might want to share some beautiful pictures and wise thoughts about your theme with your new followers.
There are three social media networks I recommend you to join on Day 4 of How to Make a Blog Site. After you have written the article of the day, you should create accounts to Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Let's start the process from the most well-known one, Facebook.
Facebook has almost two billion monthly users from teenagers to retirees worldwide. Since it has become a huge part of our current lifestyle, you might already have your own Facebook account done. That would be helpful since if you are creating a Facebook fan page for your blog, you must first have a personal Facebook account.
Just visit Facebook.com, fill out your personal information, and click 'Create an account' – button.
After getting the Facebook – account, you will be able to create a fan page for your blog. You can easily stay in touch with your followers through the fan page. Moreover, it allows you to create an audience base for your articles. That helps your blog site to grow.
There are 328 million active Twitter users on 2017. It's crucial to share links to your blog posts with the service. Twitter is a platform for sharing short messages to the world – in other words – microblogging.
You can create a Twitter account by visiting their website Twitter.com and following the instructions. If you don't need a personal account, you can create instantly account for your blog.
When beginning to use Twitter, start by following dozens of theme-related Twitter accounts. In addition, you can share links to your blog posts and other interesting related material found online.
Instagram is an image sharing social network owned by Facebook. It has currently 700 million active monthly users and the amount is growing all the time. It's not necessarily the easiest way to connect a blog with Instagram.
It is as easy to create an Instagram account as the case is with Facebook and Twitter. Just click yourself to Instagram.com – front page and follow instructions there. It is up to you whether you want to first create a personal account or straight one for your blog.
Remember that you can create more than one account and connect them together. With one click you can switch from one account to another.
Another thing to remember with Instagram is that its use is heavily linked with your smart phone. Unlike when using Facebook and Twitter, you cannot post images using the web browser.
Nonetheless, it's a wonderful tool for sharing pictures related to your blog. In addition, you can raise the knowledge your website even though it's not possible to link straight to the blog.
On Day 5 your new blogging website is already having a nice outfit. If you have followed our guide of How to Make a Blog Site – Daily Schedule, you should have a beautiful WordPress theme installed on your chosen hosting with a catchy domain. You have also created some content for the blog making it possible to gather visitors.
Having said that, we are going to improve the site towards even more professional direction during this day. The key for that is a logo.
A logo gives your blog site a virtual face. You can use the logo for all the marketing efforts as well as your newly created social media accounts. Furthermore, it brands the site in the eyes of your visitors and makes your site memorable.
Without further ado, let's jump into Day 5 of How to Make a Blog Site!
First of all, if you already have some graphic knowledge, you can try to design a logo by yourself. There are some helpful software programs on the internet which you might want to take a look.
For example, The Logo Creator is one of the most comprehensive ones out there. Their style is kind of cartoonish so if that's something you don't want, you can take a look other sources for logo creating. The Logo Creator costs $37 but at the moment it is on sale for only $20!
Another affordable solution for designing a logo for your new blog is Fiverr.com. You can get almost anything internet-related through their service. And the best part is that it that you have to pay only $5 for it. Obviously, you will find hundreds and hundreds of logo creators on Fiverr.com.
Fiverr is most recommend service for the beginners due to its cost-effectiveness.
If both ways presented above not work for you, you might want to head over to 99designs.com. It is more expensive service than the choices above. Their pricing begins from $299 and the results are definitely worth every penny. If you need to keep expenses down at the beginning, it might not be the correct platform for you.
After getting your logo done, you will just upload it to your WordPress dashboard. Usually, there are clear instructions for doing this within the chosen theme. In addition, you can use the new logo as a Favicon, too (tiny little icon in the browser bar).
That's all for Day 5 of How to Make a Blog Site!
Your blog has now very professional outlook and ready to go viral! You should aim to write interesting posts every day from Day 6 to at least Day 30. It is possible to ease off a bit after one month and adjust the schedule of writing for every other day or so.
Why is it important to write every day at the beginning then?
If you're not dedicated to writing blog posts, you might give up after a couple of days or weeks. That's why it is vital to set realistic goals. Writing a short 300-500 words per day should be an achievable target for anyone interested in blogging.
After approximately three weeks you'll begin to notice that writing becomes naturally from you. You actually look forward to writing something worthwhile into your blog. If you can reach some audience at the same time, that boosts your energy even more!
Just keep writing and publishing content through your blog and remember to link that content to your social media accounts, too.
While you are typing fresh content day after day, you should try to locate possible errors from your blog at the same time.
Trust me, there are always some parts needing fixing when maintaining website online.
Luckily, those things are usually easily and quickly done with a help of Google.
Be aware, though, you have to pay money in exchange for the service. Most often you should expect to pay a few dozen dollars for the freelancer.
After one month of writing blog posts, you should have a content-rich blog running full-steam ahead. You might have also gotten first blog comments or social media shares at this point.
If so, pick up the energy from those actions and keep going further.
If not, keep posting content day after day and you'll eventually reach people.
Nonetheless, keeping a blog is not all about getting people to read your content. As a matter of fact, it should be vice versa!
You have proved to yourself that you've got the needed discipline to build something permanent.
You have shown to yourself that you can be an entrepreneur if you so desire.
You have the attitude to build an internet business.
What would be a better feeling than to notice a simple blog can bring you all the listed matters above. I honestly don't know!
Now, after getting the mindset right, keep your working pants on and push forward. When you come across difficult times, keep a short break and remind yourself why you began to think how to make a blog site.
Everybody has their own reasons. I've my own and so do you. My reason is to be free to choose whatever I want to do and achieve in my life.

Miyetti Allah blames governors for farmers-herdmen clash
Baba Ngelezarma, national secretary of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), has blamed governors for clashes between herdsmen and farmers.
The clashes have led to the loss of many lives and destruction of properties worth millions of naira in Benue, Plateau, Taraba states among other states.
Speaking at a town hall meeting organised by the federal government in Abuja on Thursday, Ngelezarma said his organisation is not opposed to ranching but the government should make it attractive to the herders.
"We are not opposed to ranching, all that we are saying let us begin to identify grazing reserves, let us know their current status in the view of developing them and making them attractive to the pastorialist. The cow to them is a thing of prestige, a means of livelihood," he said.
"You have to put something in place for them to see before you accept. A lot has been said about this issue. Up till now, nobody is looking at the root cause of the crisis and the people responsible are the state governors.
"How I wish through chairman of the governors forum or northern governors forum is here. He is supposed to be here. All the grazing reserves we have in the country are located in the northern part of the country.
"The state governors have more responsibility than the federal government because this is their primary assignment, they are custodians of the land, they are the custodians of security, education in their states. The federal government's hand are tied, we know that."
He said the association submitted a road map to Kashim Shettima, chairman of the northern governors forum, on ways the crisis could be resolved.
On his part, Peter Mayowa, a representative of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), said the open grazing should be allowed to continue while the government gradually introduces ranching.
"If you introduce a policy it will be difficult to implement, let the two (open grazing and ranching) together. The old one will phase out," he said.
Earlier, Lai Mohammed, minister of information, reiterated that the clashes between herdsmen and farmers is not religious.
"For those who might be tempted to view the clashes between farmers and herdsmen from the ethno-religious prism, I will cite two instances to debunk such postulation.
Zamfara state is probably the epicentre of cattle rustling in Nigeria. Those who rustle cattle are Muslims. The owners of the cattle they rustle are Muslims. Both groups most likely belong to the same ethnic group," the minister said.
"Then, there is the case of Kebbi state, where 70 percent of those who are in jail are there due to the clashes between farmers and herdsmen. The farmers whose crops are eaten by cows are Muslim Fulani, and the herders whose cows eat the crops are Muslim Fulani: same religion; same ethnicity.
"Yet, clashes still occur, to such a level that people land in jail. I have cited these examples so that we can be open to interrogating the real causes of the incessant clashes that have captured national and international attention and turned former neighbours to bitter enemies, so that together we can help to evolve a lasting solution to this crisis."

Q: How to format small multiples column chart to have each chart show unique legend/scales in R? I'm having trouble formatting a small multiples column chart.
The dataframe I'm working with looks like this:
Parameter   Var1    Var2    Var3    Var4    Var5    Var6    Var7    Var8
Param1  6.68    7.24    7.16    7.14    5.61    8.25    7.76    7.32
Param2  0.16    0.17    0.12    0.12    0.81    11.32   5.03    1.58
Param3  2.03    2.26    2.62    2.66    4   8.19    5.32    4.09
Param4  0.13    0.51    0.53    0.45    116.32  155.55  66.51   38.1
Param5  8.81    9.33    9.42    9.21    108 42.12   34.63   35.36
Param6  5.16    5.36    5.29    5.46    10.91   5.56    9.88    7.29
Param7  12.53   20.59   27.62   28.82   65.59   3717.04 1372.73 324.31
Param8  15.48   15.98   17.07   17.32   24.5    60.34   31.05   23.59
Param9  13.57   14.05   15.03   15.13   15.13   15.78   17.71   16.48
Param10 7.81    8.95    12.44   12.98   7.16    NULL    0.2 0.24
Param11 NULL    0.04    0.18    0.06    21.02   123.23  62.98   24.07
Param12 NULL    NULL    NULL    NULL    0.29    0.83    0.37    0.15
Param13 NULL    NULL    NULL    NULL    0.47    0.12    0.07    0.05
Param14 NULL    NULL    NULL    NULL    NULL    0.06    0.03    NULL
Param15 NULL    NULL    NULL    NULL    NULL    NULL    NULL    NULL
Param16 0.02    0.02    0.02    0.02    0.04    0.07    0.09    0.16
Param17 0.02    0.01    0.02    0.02    0.16    0.79    0.34    0.08

So there are not only NULL values interspersed, but also some small and some very large values.
I would like to make a graph for each parameter summaring the row of variables as a column chart.
I originally uploaded the excel sheet into R, then melted the dataframe as such:
cpnv.m <- melt(cpnv, id.vars = "Parameter")

Creating a new data frame with three columns: Parameter, variable, and value.
I then tried to plot it in ggplot2:
library(ggplot2)
library(reshape2)
require(extrafont)
font_import()
loadfonts(device = "win")

ggplot(data=cpnv.m, aes(x=variable,y=value)) +
  geom_bar(stat="identity") +
  facet_wrap(~Parameter, ncol = 4) +
  ggtitle("Capinov Water Quality Data") +
  theme(plot.title = element_text(family="Trebuchet MS", face="bold", size=20, hjust=0, color="#555555")) +
  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle=45))

The axes are not scaled to the charts, nor are the columns themselves rendering correctly (see attached image). I was unable to find good examples of code that could scale the axes (both units and font size) to each chart. Is there a better way to produce small multiples charts, or is there an additional step missing from my code?
Thank you very much in advance for any advice.

A: The main issue with your data are the NULLs. Because of the NULLs your value column is a character vector instead of a numeric. To solve this issue simply convert value to a numeric.
One approach to tackle the issue with the different scales would be to add argument scales="free_x" or "free_y" or "free" to facet_wrap.
Finally from a data viz point of view I would suggest to "flip" your chart, i.e. map variable on y and value on x to improve the readability of the labels and the chart.
library(ggplot2)
library(reshape2)

cpnv.m <- melt(cpnv, id.vars = "Parameter")
cpnv.m$value <- as.numeric(cpnv.m$value)
#> Warning: NAs introduced by coercion

ggplot(data = cpnv.m, aes(y = variable, x = value)) +
  geom_bar(stat = "identity") +
  facet_wrap(~Parameter, ncol = 5, scales = "free_x") +
  ggtitle("Capinov Water Quality Data") +
  theme(plot.title = element_text(face = "bold", size = 20, hjust = 0, color = "#555555"))
#> Warning: Removed 24 rows containing missing values (position_stack).

Volkswagen is marking 40 years of the Golf GTI with a limited ClubSport Edition. The 290PS hothatch will cover 0-62mph in 6.3 seconds and cost from £30,875 when it arrives in showrooms in the summer.
The original Golf GTI was launched in 1976 and was powered by a 1.6-litre petrol engine with 110PS. The seventh-generation GTI gets a considerable power hike over the original, with its 2.0-litre turbocharged powertrain delivering 265PS to the front-wheels while an overboost function in third gear or higher will increase power to 190PS.
The Golf GTI ClubSport Edition 40 will be limited to just 1000 cars and be capable of reaching an electronically limited top speed of 155mph. The 0-62mph sprint will take just 6.3 seconds - 0.2 seconds quicker than the standard Golf GTI - and peak torque will be the same as the standard car, at 350Nm.
The Golf GTI ClubSport is available as a six-speed manual or DSG automatic and the latter will add £1415 to the list price. Three-door versions will be available from £30,875 and five-door versions will cost £31,530.
As the pictures show, the ClubSport gets a number of styling additions over the standard £27,435 GTI, with "Quaranta" forged 18-inch alloy wheels that are nearly 3kg lighter per wheel than the standard alloys. There are also new bumpers, new side sills and rear diffuser. The bumpers feature enlarged black air deflectors and honeycomb air intakes.

DAP launches anti-Islamic state campaign
Published: Aug 15, 2003 3:03 AM
Updated: Jan 29, 2008 10:21 AM
DAP today launched a nationwide campaign themed - 'Democratic and secular Malaysia forever' - in conjunction with the National Day celebrations to oppose any form of Islamic state espoused by any political party in this country.
Speaking at the launch at the party headquarters in Petaling Jaya, its secretary-general Kerk Kim Hock said the campaign was a continuation of a similar endeavour undertaken by DAP to oppose Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's declaration that Malaysia was an Islamic state in 2001.
The previous campaign was known as ' No to 929 ' reflecting the date Sept 29, when the premier made the announcement during the Gerakan general assembly.
Serious implications
According to Kerk, the latest campaign was a call on Malaysians to "reaffirm the greatest contribution of first prime minister Tunku Abdul Rahman.
"We must reaffirm the principle that Malaysia is a democratic, multi-religious and secular nation with Islam as the official religion but not an Islamic state.
"Although the Barisan Nasional government has assured that everything shall remain the same, the declaration has far reaching implications on our nation-building process," he said.
Kerk said an Islamic state - according to Umno or PAS - violated the social contract reached by the different communities after achieving independence, the 1957 Merdeka Constitution and the1963 Malaysia Agreement.
'Election dry-run'
The Kota Melaka MP said DAP still has much to do in order to raise public awareness on the issue.
"Today's campaign is also an election dry run. We are not holding the campaign for votes, but the rakyat can use their votes to send a clear message as there was no referendum or consultation (prior to the declaration).
"Only through votes, the ruling government can interpret what is the needed by the people," he added.
Also present at the launch were Bukit Bintang MP Fong Kui Lun, Cheras MP Tan Kok Wai, national publicity chief Ronnie Liu and Youth wing leaders, who distributed leaflets to hawkers at a nearby market.
The party's opposition towards the Islamic state led its leaders to cross swords with its former ally PAS and subsequently saw DAP withdraw from the opposition front Barisan Alternatif in September 2001.

Grass effects on tree (Prosopis glandulosa) growth in a temperate savanna
M. T. Simmons, S. R. Archer, R. James Ansley, W. R. Teague
The majority of studies on woody-herbaceous interactions have focused on the effects of trees on grasses; relatively few have looked at grass effects on adult trees. In a two-year study in a temperate savanna in northern Texas, tree (Prosopis glandulosa) basal area increased significantly following removal of associated grasses, the response being highly variable in time and space. Tree response to grass removal was strongest on shallow, clayey soils, but was evident only during the year subsequent to treatment. Low intensity surface fire enhanced growth of adult trees, but the magnitude of the response was inconsistent among sites. Clipping of grasses (proxy for grazing) had no effect on tree growth. Contrasts between the clipping and removal experiments suggest clipping may not have been frequent or intense enough to elicit a tree response; or that it is the presence/absence of grasses rather than their aboveground biomass which impacts trees. Enhanced tree growth and foliar N and P content associated with disturbance to the grass layer on shallow sites where vertical segregation of woody plant and grass roots and soil resources are constrained, may reflect reductions in competition for soil moisture and elevated soil N and P availability following fire.

Go to menu, View > Guides > Unlock Guides (Release Guides), select the guide you want to edit and select View > Guides > Release Guides (Reset Guides), or just press Cmd/Ctrl + Option / Alt + 5).
You will probably want to change the color scheme used on our Indonesia vector map.
To quickly and effectively play with colors.
Of course, you can do it manually, all objects in our Indonesia vector map are divided according to types and layers, and you can easily change the color gamma of vector objects in groups and layers.
But there is more effective way of working with the whole VECTOR MAP of Indonesia and all layers:
The overview dialog «Edit colors»/«Repaint Graphic Object» (this dialog box name can change depending on the context):
If you have selected a part or a layer of Indonesia vector map and open the dialog box by clicking the icon in the Control panel, on the Samples palette or the Color Catalog, or if you choose Edit > Edit Colors> Repaint Graphic Object, then the «Repaint Graphic Object» dialog box appears, and you get access to «Assign» and «Edit» tabs.
If a picture or a map fragment is not selected, and you open the dialog box by clicking the icon in the Control panel, on the Samples palette or in the Color Catalog, the «Edit Colors» dialog box appears and you can only access the «Edit» tab.
Regardless of the name at the top of the dialog box, the right-hand side always displays the color group of the current document, as well as two default color groups: Print Color and Grayscale. These color groups can be selected and used any time.
Create and edit color groups of Indonesia vector map, and also assign colors using the «Edit Colors»/ а «Repaint Graphic Object» dialog box.
A. Creating and editing of a color group on the «Edit» tab
B. Assigning colors on the «Assign» tab
C. Select a group of colors from the «Color groups» list
The option «Repaint a graphic object» in the lower part of the dialog box allows you to preview the colors on a selected layer of Vector map, or a group of elements, and specify whether its colors will be redefined when the dialog box is closed.
The main areas of the dialog box are:
The «Edit» tab is designed to create a new or edit the existing color groups.
The harmony rules Menu and the Color Wheel are used to conduct experiments with color harmonies. The color wheel shows how colors are related in color harmony, and the color bars allow you to view and manipulate an individual color values. In addition, you can adjust the brightness, add and remove colors, save color groups and view colors on the selected Vector Map of Indonesia or a separated layers.
The «Assign» tab is used to view and control on how the original colors are replaced with colors from the color group like your corporate colors in the Vector Map of Indonesia city.
The assign color ability is provided only if the entire map, layer or fragment is selected in the document. You can specify which of new colors replace the current colors, whether the spot colors should be preserved and how colors are replaced (for example, you can replace colors completely or changing the color tone while maintaining the brightness). The «Assign» tab allows you to redefine colors in the Vector Map of Indonesia city, or in separate layers and fragments using the current color group or reducing the number of colors in the current Vector Map.
Is a list of all saved color groups for current document (the same groups appear in the «Samples» palette). You can edit and delete the existing color groups, as well as creating a new ones using the list of "Color Groups" in the dialog box. All changes appear in the «Samples» palette.
The highlighted color group shows, which color group is currently edited.
Any color group can be selected and edited, or used to redefine the colors in the selected vector map of Indonesia city, its fragments or elements.
Saving a color group adds this group to the specified list.
Opening the «Edit Colors»/«Repaint Graphic Object» dialog box.
Open the «Edit Colors»/«Repaint Graphic Object» dialog box using one of the following methods:
«Edit»> «Edit Colors»> «Repaint Graphic object» or «Repaint With Style».

You can also double-click the color group in the Samples panel to open the dialog box.
The Indonesian archipelago has been an important region for trade since at least the 7th century, when Srivijaya and then later Majapahit traded with Chinese dynasties and Indian kingdoms. Local rulers gradually absorbed foreign cultural, religious and political models from the early centuries CE, and Hindu and Buddhist kingdoms flourished. Indonesian history has been influenced by foreign powers drawn to its natural resources. Muslim traders and Sufi scholars brought Islam, while European powers brought Christianity and fought one another to monopolise trade in the Spice Islands of Maluku during the Age of Discovery. Indonesia experienced a long period of Dutch colonialism that started from Amboina and Batavia, eventually covering all of the archipelago including Timor and Western New Guinea, and at times interrupted by Portuguese, French and British rule. During the decolonisation of Asia after World War II, Indonesia achieved independence in 1949 following an armed and diplomatic conflict with the Netherlands.
If the map file is too large and your computer freezes or even can't open it quickly:
1. Try to reduce the color resolution of the video card (display) to 256 colors while working with a large map.
2. Using Windows Task Manager, select all the application you don't need, while working with map, just turn them off.
3. Launch Adobe Illustrator. (DO NOT OPEN the vector map file)
4. Start the Windows Task Manager using administrator rights > Find the "Illustrator" process > set the «real time» priority,
5. Open the file. When you see the LEGACY FONT popup window – click "OK" (do not update). You can restore the TEXT later.
6. Can also be useful: When file is opened – Edit > Settings > Basic Settings > disable smoothing. /// It looks scary, but works quickly)))
We recommend saving the file in Adobe Illustrator 10 version. It's much more stable when working with VERY BIG size files.
Indonesia consists of hundreds of distinct native ethnic and linguistic groups, with the largest—and politically dominant—ethnic group being the Javanese. A shared identity has developed, defined by a national language, ethnic diversity, religious pluralism within a Muslim-majority population, and a history of colonialism and rebellion against it. Indonesia's national motto, "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" ("Unity in Diversity" literally, "many, yet one"), articulates the diversity that shapes the country. Indonesia's economy is the world's 16th largest by nominal GDP and the 7th largest by GDP at PPP. Indonesia is a member of several multilateral organisations, including the UN, WTO, IMF and G20. It is also a founding member of Non-Aligned Movement, Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, East Asia Summit, Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
Indonesia lies between latitudes 11°S and 6°N, and longitudes 95°E and 141°E. It is the largest archipelagic country in the world, extending 5,120 kilometres (3,181 mi) from east to west and 1,760 kilometres (1,094 mi) from north to south. According to the country's Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs, Indonesia has 17,504 islands (16,056 of which are registered at the UN), scattered over both sides of the equator, and with about 6,000 of them are inhabited. The largest are Java, Sumatra, Borneo (shared with Brunei and Malaysia), Sulawesi, and New Guinea (shared with Papua New Guinea). Indonesia shares land borders with Malaysia on Borneo, Papua New Guinea on the island of New Guinea, and East Timor on the island of Timor, and maritime borders with Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Palau, and Australia.
At 4,884 metres (16,024 ft), Puncak Jaya is Indonesia's highest peak, and Lake Toba in Sumatra is the largest lake, with an area of 1,145 km2 (442 sq mi). Indonesia's largest rivers are in Kalimantan and New Guinea, and include Kapuas, Barito, Mamberamo, Sepik and Mahakam; such rivers are communication and transport links between the island's river settlements.
Indonesia is an archipelagic country located in Southeast Asia, lying between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. It is located in a strategic location astride or along major sea lanes connecting East Asia, South Asia and Oceania. Indonesia's various regional cultures have been shaped—although not specifically determined—by centuries of complex interactions with its physical environment.
Indonesia is an archipelagic country extending about 5,120 kilometres (3,181 mi) from east to west and 1,760 kilometres (1,094 mi) from north to south. According to a geospatial survey conducted between 2007 and 2010 by National Coordinating Agency for Survey and Mapping (Bakosurtanal), Indonesia has 13,466 islands. While earlier survey conducted in 2002 by National Institute of Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN) stated Indonesia has 18,307 islands. According to the CIA World Factbook, there are 17,508 islands. The discrepancy between the surveys is likely caused by the earlier different survey method including tidal islands, sandy cays and rocky reefs that surface during low tide and submerge during high tide. There are 8,844 named islands according to estimates made by the government of Indonesia, with 922 of those are permanently inhabited. It comprises five main islands: Sumatra, Java, Borneo (known as Kalimantan in Indonesia), Sulawesi, and New Guinea; two major island groups (Nusa Tenggara and the Maluku Islands) and sixty smaller island groups. Four of the islands are shared with other countries: Borneo is shared with Malaysia and Brunei; Sebatik, located off the northeastern coast of Kalimantan, shared with Malaysia; Timor is shared with East Timor; and the newly divided provinces of Papua and West Papua share the island of New Guinea with Papua New Guinea.
Indonesia has total land area of 1,904,569 square kilometres (735,358 sq mi), Including 93,000 square kilometres (35,908 sq mi) of inland seas (straits, bays, and other bodies of water). The additional surrounding sea areas bring Indonesia's generally recognised territory (land and sea) to about 5 million km2. The government, however, also claims an exclusive economic zone, which brings the total area to about 7.9 million km2.
Indonesia is a transcontinental country, where its territory consisted of islands geologically considered as part of either Asia or Australia. During the Pleistocene, the Greater Sunda Islands were connected to the Asian mainland while New Guinea was connected to Australia. Karimata Strait, Java Sea and Arafura Sea were formed as the sea level rose at the end of the Pleistocene.
Country in Asia
Indonesia, a Southeast Asian nation made up of thousands of volcanic islands, is home to hundreds of ethnic groups speaking many different languages. It's known for beaches, volcanoes, Komodo dragons and jungles sheltering elephants, orangutans and tigers. On the island of Java lies Indonesia's vibrant, sprawling capital, Jakarta, and the city of Yogyakarta, known for gamelan music and traditional puppetry.

Recent legislation reduces the amount of Historic Preservation Tax Credits (HTC) available annually and imposes additional restrictions on developers seeking HTC to support historic rehabilitation projects.
Senate Bill 590 and Senate Bill 773, enacted during the 2018 legislative session, reduce the annual aggregate cap on HTC for projects receiving $275,000 or more in tax credits from $140 million to $90 million, with an additional $30 million available for projects on properties located in qualified census tracts. Qualified census tracts are defined as having a poverty rate of 20% or higher, as determined by the Missouri Department of Economic Development (DED) based on U.S. Census data and updated every five years. The legislation calls for DED to publish a map depicting all qualified census tracts, grouped by tracts with 20% to 42% poverty rates, and 42% to 81% poverty rates.
Missouri has the highest annual cap on HTC authorizations in the nation. Over the past three fiscal years, DED has authorized an average of $114 million in tax credits annually, which is slightly below the newly-reduced $120 million annual cap. If the full $120 million in HTC is authorized in a given fiscal year, the legislation authorizes the cap to be adjusted for inflation.
The legislation imposes additional restrictions on applicants for HTC, including by requiring a copy of all necessary land use and building approvals to be submitted with the preliminary application and evidence of financing to complete the project, such as a line of credit or letter of commitment, to be submitted within 60 days after authorization for tax credits. The legislation also reduces the time in which projects authorized for tax credits must commence from two years to nine months, requiring applicants to incur at least 10% of estimated project costs within nine months of authorization.
The legislation also imposes additional project costs by increasing the tax credit fee charged to HTC recipients from 2.5% to 4% of the tax credits issued. The proceeds of the current 2.5% fee charged on DED-administered tax credits are used to support statewide economic development initiatives, including business expansion efforts by DED, business recruitment efforts by the Missouri Partnership (in partnership with the Hawthorn Foundation), marketing activities, and international export initiatives. Legislative researchers estimate that the increased fee could begin generating an additional $1.8 million annually by 2020. The legislation provides that 37.5% of the fee revenue generated from the 4% fee charged on HTC is to be appropriated for business recruitment and marketing.
Finally, the legislation provides transition rules for the lowered cap like those employed in the last major modification to the HTC program in 2009. The transition rules exclude the following projects from the lowered cap: (1) projects authorized prior to October 1, 2018; (2) projects applying for HTC prior to October 1, 2018 that have incurred the lesser of 5% of their total project costs or $1 million and received Part I approval from the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI); or (3) projects applying for HTC prior to October 1, 2018 that have received certification from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) that the rehabilitation plan meets DOI standards and that the rehabilitation costs exceed 50% of basis in the property.

Horhay...its our American way of pronouncing Jorge (George) in Spanish. Heh heh. But the name fits! When George Harrison and Pattie Boyd met, they really showed the world what being in love was all about. Photographers accompanied them on their honeymoon to take pictures of the happy newlyweds, and these pictures turned out to be some of the sweetest things. A little interesting cliff-note: George never really asked PATTIE to marry him. They had been dating for two years and in 1966 George decided it was time. First, he turned to manager Brian Epstein for his blessing. "We were just motoring along [to Brian Epsteins party] listening to the radio when suddenly he very calmly told me he loved me and wanted us to get married. I think I just said yes or some such nonsense, but believe me, inside I was doing cartwheels. We really were very much in love." Pattie remembers. Many Beatle fans supported their marriage considering girls at the time looked up to Pattie as a role model. Others were not so thrilled at the idea and were more jealous than envious. Especially, you guessed it, us Americans. Says Pattie about fan mail, "The letters upset me a lot. They were really nasty and said awful things, especially from the states." Crude letters weren't the only disadvantage to being George's girlfriend at the time. "They were doing their Christmas show at Hammersmith...I scraped my hair back so that I would look completely different and no one would recognize me. I don't know how anyone did, but a few did and started punching me." comments Pattie. She goes on to say how the attackers were quite young girls (12 maybe 13) and they were just brutal. She actually punched one back! Still, other fans were more curious than rude, like the apple scruffs outside the Harrison home. "But I can't get over the fans always hanging round the house, even now...They got into our bedroom the other day and stole a pair of my trousers and George's pajamas." LOL! Lucky fan. Even through all the harrassment Pattie put up with, she stuck by George's side all the way through 1977. I've thought it over myself and wondered, "If I were alive back then, I wonder how I would have reacted to Pattie." Now I know some of you may think right away, "Yeah, quite bitter I'm sure. We've read your jolly remarks about Peg!" HA! That's different in the sense that Heather...isn't all quite there. But Pattie was an adorable, sweet, and intelligent woman unlike OTHERS. She knew what the Beatles were all about, and I bet at least SHE could name a Beatle song or two. I guess if I had been around back then, I would have looked up to Pattie. I sure do today, which only leaves me to believe I would back then too. She and George were very happy, and VERY affectionate. He was quite the huggable Horhay! Am I the only one who would LOVE to hug little Georgie? I could imagine he would be quite small framed since he's so darn thin. But he's got a little muscle on him and he's SOOOO very attractive. Enjoy these shots of someone who DID get to hug George (...among other things with George).
NOW whose your favorite Beatle?

There is nothing fun about getting a cavity. They can be uncomfortable to have and expensive to treat and sometimes it can feel like there's not much you can do to prevent them. Like, you're already brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing, how did tooth decay happen? In many ways, the world would be a better place if we could just prevent cavities from popping up altogether, and the beautiful thing is, we might be able to.
Ultimately, to keep our mouths cavity-free, we have to tackle the main cause of tooth decay, and no, I'm not talking about sugar. I'm talking about a bacterium called Streptococcus mutans. It's one of the many types of bacteria in your mouth and it's one of the main things that causes cavities. S. mutans lives on your teeth, feeds off the sugars on your tooth plaque and almost instantly turns those sugars into acid. Normally, compounds in your saliva neutralize the extra acid after a few minutes, which is why you don't really notice S. mutans at work, but that acid can still accumulate around a microbe itself, and if you don't brush it away, you can develop a really acidic spot on your tooth. If that spot develops for long enough, the acid can wear away the tooth's outer surface, potentially creating a pit so deep that it becomes a full-blown cavity. That's a good reason to clean your teeth, but sometimes, cavities can happen despite your best efforts, and besides, not everyone has regular access to fancy toothbrushes and floss.
So while there are plenty of preventative options, scientists have also begun to investigate if there's anything we can do to get rid of S. mutans for good, and so far, they've found some possibilities. For one, a few studies have noticed that people who have more of the amino acid arginine in their mouths tend to get fewer cavities. According to a 2018 experiment, this could be because a different strain of Streptococcus metabolizes arginine into a tiny amount of hydrogen peroxide and that hydrogen peroxide prevents S. mutans from fermenting sugar and ultimately from growing, so if we could introduce the right kind of streptococcus into a toothpaste, we might be able to reduce cavities. It isn't the only option, though.
In 2011, researchers also came up with a special mouthwash that can kill S. mutans while leaving helpful bacteria alone. The compound in their mouthwash is called C16G2, which could probably benefit from a good brand name. It's a synthetic antimicrobial compound designed to quickly target a specific chemical S. mutans gives off and while it can sometimes attack other bacteria, it almost only kills these cavity culprints. In a test, the mouthwash effectively reduced the damage done to tooth enamel by the S. mutans bacteria as well, which is great.
So far though, these options for eliminating cavities are promising but they're not well-tested enough to go primetime. We'll need some more research to prove that they're definitely effective and safe, but hey, if this someday means a world with no cavities, I'm all for it. This cavity problem is really just one big puzzle where scientists have to figure out how to get rid of S. mutans without disrupting the rest of our mouths.
It's a huge exercise in problem solving and if that kind of thing sounds like your jam, you might enjoy the "Joy of Problem Solving" course on Brilliant. The course doesn't focus on mouth bacteria. Instead, it challenges you to improve your logic and math skills, but it does so in a really fun way that's way more interesting than your typical math lesson. Like, you solve problems with humans and vampires, figure out how to rearrange coins, and learn more about how to catch when someone is stretching the truth, which, I don't know, seems like a pretty useful skill. When you're done with this course, you can check out all of Brilliant's other math, science, computer science, and engineering courses.

India making choking on world stage a bad habit
Dejected Indian players console each other after their shock loss to New Zealand at Old Trafford in Manchester on Wednesday. Associated Press
As consistent as they have been in reaching the knockout stages of International Cricket Council (ICC) events, fancied India have, in the last four years, failed to overcome the pressure-cooker situation and clinch the title, making them look like chokers after their most recent reversal against New Zealand in the World Cup semifinal on Wednesday.
Led by Virat Kohli, arguably the best batsman in world cricket at present, India came into the tournament as one of the favourites to lift the crown.
Throughout the group stages of the 10-team event, the Men in Blue played true to their favourites tag by winning seven of the eight games they played with the one against the Kiwis getting called off due to rain. They lost to England, but still managed to top the group with 15 points from nine matches.
In the semifinal against New Zealand, who reached the knockouts by the skin of their teeth after finishing fourth, India were overwhelming favourites to win.
But despite restricting the Black Caps to 239/8 in 50 overs, India were blown away by the Kiwi bowlers led by Matt Henry (3/37) on the reserve day after play could not be completed on the first day due to inclement weather.
India lost four top order batsmen for just 24 runs inside 10 overs before Ravindra Jadeja (77) and M.S. Dhoni (50) shared a 116-run seventh wicket stand to raise hopes for an unlikely victory. However, it wasn't enough in the end as India fell short by 18 runs.
It was a similar story in the semifinal of the 2015 World Cup when India lost to Australia after a spectacular performance from Steve Smith helped the hosts post a total of 328 runs.
India had a promising start as the opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan put together 76 runs. But pressure got the better of them as a batting collapse followed and
India were reduced to 108/4. James Faulker was the pick of the bowlers with 3/53 while Mitchell Starc and Mitchell Johnson bagged a couple of wickets as well. India lost the match by 95 runs as their unbeaten streak in the tournament came to an end.
While few experts have said that it was the overhead conditions on the reserve day that helped New Zealand bowlers, the way the likes of KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant got out clearly showed that they failed to soak in the pressure and bat freely.
Kohli, who has a poor record in World Cup semis, failed to make an impact and Rohit Sharma too got out to a superb delivery from Henry. But it was the Indian middle order, chopped and changed with Dinesh Karthik sent in ahead of Dhoni at No. 5, that crumbled without any fight, leaving the team tottering at 92/6 before Jadeja played the innings of his life.
Taking nothing away from Jadeja's gritty knock, the match was all but over for India at that stage and he played without pressure with nothing to lose. Dhoni held one end up like he does these days with his hitting abilities on the wane, but it was always an uphill task.
Although India lost by a narrow margin of 18 runs, the top order collapse spelled their doom. It reminded many of India's top-order bungle in the 2017 Champions Trophy final against arch-rivals Pakistan.
India were clear favourites to defend their Champions Trophy against Pakistan but a poor bowling effort saw Pakistan batters set India a target of 339 runs in 50 overs.
The manner in which the famed Indian top order collapsed brought to the fore their failure to handle the pressure of the big stage as the Men in Blue were handed an embarrassing 180-run defeat.
In the 2016 World T20, Kohli and Co. failed to get to the final despite a decent performance before that on home soil. In the semifinal against the West Indies, India batted superbly to post 192/2 in 20 overs.
But this time, their bowlers, including Jasprit Bumrah who was still on the rise then, choked as Windies batters led by Lendl Simmons took them to the cleaners and gunned down the target with two balls and seven wickets to spare.
South Africa have always been labelled as the eternal chokers of world cricket, and this time round they gave an even poorer account of themselves by failing to qualify for the last-four stage. But with India repeatedly missing the mark despite coming close every time, it's hard not to brand them in the same category.

THE BLACKLIST Season 5 Was Pretty Good
This is a TV review of the fifth season of The Blacklist which stars James Spader, Megan Boone, Deigo Klattenhoff, Harry Lennix, Hisham Tawfiq, Amir Arison, Ryan Eggold and Mozhan Marno.
"A new FBI profiler, Elizabeth Keen, has her entire life uprooted when a mysterious criminal, Raymond Reddington, who has eluded capture for decades, turns himself in and insists on speaking only to her."
I've been following the show since it's first episode and the character of Raymond Reddington is played superbly by Spader. He turned himself in to the FBI as the one of the world's most-wanted criminals, but only on the agreement that he works with Elizabeth Keen (Boone), whom he will divulge the identities of notorious criminals from a blacklist of names, so that a new division of the FBI can work with Reddington to take down these criminals.
Throughout the first five seasons there has been subterfuge galore from Reddington and Tom Keene's (Eggold) part of the stories, each, being both insidious and protective, depending on the moment.
The show was a hoot in season one, got interesting in seasons two and three, but started to feel like it was falling down a rabbit hole of predictability in the fourth season with it's government conspiracies.
I had stashed season five on my DVR to watch at my leisure and recently powered through the fifth season. It started off what felt like it was jumping the shark and getting lame, but then events by about three or four episodes in take a turn for the better in a fascinating set of events that pushed the story forward and suddenly I found myself fully engaged by the multiple threads of drama that developed throughout the rest of the fifth season.
It became a truly fascinating show after that.
And the season ended on one hell of a cliffhanger kind of ending, where it wasn't really a cliffhanger, because it answered a sseason long question, but WOW, it was one hell of an answer that set in motion what could be some amazing new story twists.
So rather than funnel down the drain by sticking to a predictable story direction after the end of season four, they took a brave turn with the 'pen' and took the story down a different path that was a pleasure to experience.
We've been watching Spader for years and this role of "Raymond Reddington" is perfect for him. He portrays a master criminal with a million dirty contacts to manipulate the world to his choosing, while looking out for those that are important to him.
Meanwhile, this fifth season was pivotal in Elizabeth Keene's character moving forward. By the end of this season, she was a different person than one who started the season.
We found a few situations where the FBI reluctantly had to turn to Reddington for his help, not to mention the introduction to a few new characters that give Reddington a run for his money.
Now I can't wait for the sixth season to kick it in gear and see where they go with this new story development.
Yes, I have been vague about details of this season, no spoilers, right? But all I am going to say is that there is one duffel bag that everyone ends up chasing throughout the entire season, until... well, you'll see.

Tell me about it.. I felt like the show was getting a good run on for jumping a shark. AND the first few eps of this last season felt way too over the top... but then... BAM! They changed it up nicely and boy, you better be sitting down for that last episode!!!

Facing History and Ourselves to Host IWitness Twitter Chat Jan. 13
The first IWitness Twitter chat for educators of 2016 will be hosted by Facing History and Ourselves, on Wednesday, Jan. 13 at 4 p.m. PST/7 p.m. EST.
All educators, whether longtime IWitness users or just discovering it, are encouraged to follow and participate in the chat @USCIWitness or #IWitnessChat. The guest moderator @facinghistory will lead a discussion focused on "Helping Students Make Connections Between the Past and Present."
IWitness Twitter chats will be held twice a month on the second and fourth Wednesdays. The chats are an opportunity for educators around the world to talk about IWitness and share ideas and insight with each other and the IWitness staff at USC Shoah Foundation.
Facing History and Ourselves is an international educational and professional development organization whose mission is to engage students of diverse backgrounds in an examination of racism, prejudice, and antisemitism in order to promote the development of a more humane and informed citizenry.
In October 2015, USC Shoah Foundation partnered with Facing History and Ourselves to develop meaningful and engaging learning resources centered on Holocaust survivor testimonies.
As part of the partnership, USC Shoah Foundation, working with Facing History and Ourselves, has provided video testimony from its Visual History Archive to complement the teacher's resource guide Facing History and Ourselves: Holocaust and Human Behavior. The stories in that collection, also available in IWitness, are told by survivors, witnesses, and rescuers. For deeper exploration into these individual's stories, links to their full length testimonies are available in IWitness.
Facing History and Ourselves, working with the USC Shoah Foundation, is building new IWitness activities that complement the Holocaust and Human Behavior program and align with the Facing History pedagogy and USC Shoah Foundation methodology.
The first activity, Choosing to Rescue, is now published on IWitness. In this activity, students learn about and reflect on the decisions made by individuals who rescued Jews during the Holocaust.

Between 2001-2015, the percentage of Medicare beneficiaries aged 68 or older living with diabetes plateaued after 2012 while the percentage of new diabetes cases in this population declined after 2006. Consistent with national data, new research points to a leveling in the percentage of Medicare beneficiaries over the age of 68 living with diabetes and a decrease in the percentage of new cases in this population. The percentage of beneficiaries living with diabetes aged 68 or higher was lower among whites than among other racial/ethnic groups and was generally higher among men than among women. The decline in the percentage of new diabetes cases may be due to efforts to promote healthier behaviors, such as the CDC-led National Diabetes Prevention Program, as well as to declines in the amount of food people are eating, in sugar consumption and in physical inactivity.

From 2015-2017 synthetic opioids (e.g., fentanyl) were involved in most opioid overdose deaths. While nearly all racial/ethnic groups and age groups across metropolitan areas experienced increases in opioid and synthetic opioid overdose deaths, middle-aged non-Hispanic blacks living in large metropolitan areas experienced the largest increases in synthetic opioid overdose death rates. Synthetic opioids, particularly illicitly manufactured fentanyl, have been fueling the U.S. overdose epidemic since 2013 and are increasingly being found in supplies of cocaine, methamphetamine, and counterfeit prescription pills, thereby increasing the populations at risk for an opioid overdose. These findings underscore the changing demographics and populations affected by the opioid overdose epidemic as the illicit drug supply evolves.
From 2010 to 2018, tobacco incidents in PG-13 movies increased 120%. The Surgeon General concluded that depictions of smoking in movies is a cause of smoking initiation among young people. From 2010 to 2018, the proportion of all top-grossing movies with tobacco incidents remained stable. However, during this time period tobacco incidents in PG-13 movies increased 120%. Additionally, in 2018 biographical dramas accounted for most tobacco incidents, including 82% of those in PG-13 movies. Also, 73% of characters who used tobacco in biographical dramas were fictional. The increasing number of youth-rated biographical dramas with tobacco incidents has negated progress in reducing tobacco incidents in youth-rated fictional movies. Assigning movies with tobacco incidents an R rating can eliminate tobacco product imagery from youth-rated films, and further reduce tobacco product initiation among youth.
With only 28 human cases of dracunculiasis (Guinea worm disease) reported in 2018, the goal of eradicating this parasitic and painful disease is on the horizon. However, infections in dogs (especially in Chad) and civil unrest and insecurity in Mali and South Sudan continue to challenge global eradication efforts. Dracunculiasis (Guinea worm disease) is a parasitic infection targeted for eradication. Annual human cases declined from about 3.5 million in 20 countries in 1986 to 28 cases in only three countries (Chad, South Sudan, and Angola) in 2018. In Chad, dog infections are also present and have far outnumbered human cases since 2012. Dog infections in Chad increased 28% between 2017 and 2018. Mali, Ethiopia, and Angola also have small numbers of animal infections. The recent finding of cases in Angola is concerning.

Q: div height prob after jquery hide() after hiding some inner divs with jquery hide() function, the outer div height doesn't fit and its height is as long as it was before hiding.
i've this problem with IE, FF not with Chrome.
what's the solution !!
( i can give the page url if requested )

A: Are you saying the outer div's height did or didn't change?   Remeber when you do a hide() your setting the css to a "display:none".  This means the element will not take up anyspace in the DOM and if it was controlling the height of the outer div, then you will have to manually set the outer div height after it is hidden.
Another option would to be is to let the outer div control the height and then just hide() or show() its contents. that way it will maintain its dimensions.
Hope this helps
