Special Counsel Robert Mueller makes his first public statements on the Russia investigation. USA TODAY
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Cory Booker has called for impeachment proceedings to begin against President Donald Trump.
Booker said Wednesday on Twitter: "This administration has continued to stonewall Congress's oversight. Beginning impeachment proceedings is the only path forward."
This Administration has continued to stonewall Congress's oversight. Beginning impeachment proceedings is the only path forward.
— Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) May 29, 2019
His calls for impeachment come after a rare public statement by special counsel Robert Mueller in which he declined to clear Trump of obstruction of justice.
Booker is the latest Democratic candidate, after Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and former Texas representative Beto O'Rourke, to call for impeachment proceedings.
Meanwhile, Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. said in a statement that Attorney General William Barr should resign within a week or "Congress should impeach him and remove him from office," claiming he lied to the nation after Mueller contradicted his claim that the special counsel's non-indictment of Trump was not tied to Justice Department policy.
"Mr. Mueller's statement that his office could have exonerated Donald Trump but did not is nothing short of an alarm bell above the door of our republic," Pascrell said.

Staff unfriendly, low quality food, low quality furniture. Low quality hotel.
Very good service, excellent choice of food and the thermal spa is the best!
The room was a bit small for two adults and one child staying in an additional bed.
The hotel is beautiful and fit for mental and physical relaxation. The meals are rich, appetizing, and satisfying. The rooms are cozy and inviting. WELL DONE!!
Considering that dinner is buffet-style, this facility is definitely overpriced for what it offers given general Hungarian prices, especially taking into account the Debrecen accomodation market.
During our 3 days stay at the hotel there were no room cleaning and no towels changing (only if we paid for it).
The Spa and Wellness facilities were great.
Would have been nice to have access to aquapark included. The aquapark was a bit crowded (but this is something we expected).
We stayed for 3 days and the room wasn't cleaned even a single time, only the bin was emptied daily.

Prelate's remains cremated within temple premises
24 September 2019 01:02 am - 6 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}
The remains of Mullaitivu Gurukanda Purana Raja Maha Vihara Chief Incumbent, Ven. Colombo Medhalankarakiththi Thera were cremated within the temple premises owing to a delay in receiving the court order.
Speaking to the media, Gurukanda Dayaka Sabha Secretary Manel Karunaratne said Sasanarakshaka Bala Mandalaya took this decision having considered the delay in receiving the court order.
Appearing on behalf of Gurukanda Vihara, Senior Attorney Rohana Talpawila said in the face of strong opposition to the court order by complainants, Nayaru Pradeshiya Sabha and the Hindu Kovil Society, Mullaitivu Magistrate S. Lenin decreed that in accordance with Buddhist tradition and in application of Article 3 of the Constitution, the cremation be held in Nayaru beach in close proximity to the temple.
However, due to the delay in the court ruling and receiving applicable orders, together with the onset of heavy rainfall, last rites have been performed. The delay also posed an issue on the condition of remains. Therefore, the Sasanarakshaka Bala Mandalaya took the decision to conduct the cremation at one end of the temple compound as stated by the Dayaka Sabha.
A group of lawyers and members of the Hindu Kovil Society had intruded upon the site where the cremation was taking place and made a strong protest and when police arrived at the scene, they were able to quell the situation.
Galagodaaththe Gnanasara Thera who also arrived at the site announced that the cremation should be held within the temple premises and since last rites had been completed, a decision was taken to have the cremation in the temple premises.
Gnanasara Thera said if there had been a government, then this issue would not have surfaced. "There should be one law in the country and when it becomes ineffective, people take the law into their hands," the Thera said.
The Hindu Kovil Society and a group of residents voiced their protest. "At a time when a court order from Mullaitivu was pending, taking a step of this nature forces legal action in due course," they said.

Carbon dioxide emissions in Switzerland 2000-2018
Carbon Dioxide emissions in Switzerland from 2000-2018 (in million metric tons of CO2)
by Ian Tiseo, last edited Jun 17, 2019
The statistic shows the level of carbon dioxide emissions in Switzerland from 2000 to 2018. Emission levels decreased during the period, falling from 42.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emitted in 2000 to 36.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emitted in 2018.
CO2 emissions in million metric tons
According to the source, the carbon emissions in this statistic reflect only those through consumption of oil, gas and coal, and are based on standard global average conversion factors. This does not allow for any carbon that is sequestered, for other sources of carbon emissions, or for emissions of other greenhouse gases.
Data prior to 2007 was taken from the BP Statistical Review data worksheet.

Chapter one nearly done
It's dragging on… but the end of chapter one is in sight. I had a meeting with my two new geography supervisors, Yvonne Whelan and Robert Mayhew on Tuesday and agreed a way forward for the PhD. I need to submit the first draft of the first chapter to them by next Friday… which is good as it's beginning to go a bit stale… but working on it at home has been a lot more productive and it's gradually getting there. With good health and a fair wind, things will now speed up and I will be able to advance a lot less sporadically than before.
So that's one piece of news. Another is that I received a response from the office of the Prime Minister concerning the recent petition asking the PM to introduce the teaching of BSL in all schools. The wording of the petition was not altogether serious and, in an attempt to make it relevant to a hearing government, portrayed sign language as a more 'funky' alternative to spoken language to be used when there's lots of noise about…
In the midst of this, the slightly offhand "Of course it would also make life easier for people who rely on sign language as their primary mode of non-written communication" didn't seem to have a great deal of impact on the government despite over 5000 signatures.
However, the biggest problem with this is not that they rejected the request. After all, 5000 people out of 60 million is not a great majority. It's the background assumptions and the tone of the response that is so hard to swallow.
So, for your pleasure, here is the response from number 10 with my response to their response inserted (note: I have tried to be as positive as possible. Faced with a goverment that is so two-faced that it turns my stomach it's been hard, but I hope I've succeeded… maybe).
"We recognise the tremendous value of British Sign Language (BSL) in helping hard of hearing pupils throughout their educational careers.
OK, straight down to the nitty gritty. Come out and admit it. You still don't really believe that BSL is a language do you? You still see it as a tool for broken hearing people. Do you want to see how this reads this through Deaf eyes? OK… try this:
"We recognise the tremendous value of Welsh and Gaelic in helping non-English pupils through their educational careers." Patronising and insulting it's it?
For a government that recognised BSL as a language in March 2003, you're doing a pretty good job of misrepresenting it now. Gosh, any moment now someone will come out with the BSL-braille comparison and then we'll be in serious trouble.
The National Curriculum, however, has been developed carefully over the years to provide young people with an entitlement to the essential knowledge and skills that will equip them for success in further education or training and in the world of work.
You know, thank you for this, it's the first time that I actually realised that the National Curriculum was not about preparing children for life; only education and work. No wonder we're in such a mess.
It is important that the National Curriculum should offer a broad and balanced education, but we must avoid over-prescription of what is taught and leave sufficient time and space for schools to personalise their offer to address individual needs and aptitudes.
No problem with that.
The balance we now have is the result of extensive consultation and trialling
Did your 'extensive consultation' involve any contact with the Deaf community. No. I didn't think so.
but it is not fixed for all time and we will continue to monitor and review curriculum content at intervals to ensure that it still meets the needs of all young people.
Would it be useful to teach them a language that not only offers the possibility for international communication but enshrines a different way of thinking and a culture and history that is utterly unique in all of humanity and raises fundamental questions about the way that knowledge is constructed in Western society? Oh, that's a shame, it's the kind of thing I'd have found particularly valuable at school.
The secondary National Curriculum is currently being reviewed in order to reduce prescription still further and to create more freedom for teachers to use their professional judgement in designing subject curricula. Across the whole of our 14-19 reform agenda we are developing further opportunities for young people to exercise choice about what they study and how, with the introduction of diplomas, apprenticeships and so on. In this context, we do not feel it would be appropriate to introduce a new statutory requirement to teach British Sign Language in all schools.
Oh right, so the National 'Curriculum' is about to become less of a curriculum and more a loose gathering of subjects. In which case, there's plenty of room in there for BSL, particularly as it's actually far more immediately useful to most people in today's society than… say… algebra. AND… you could teach it from a very early age so that it doesn't even figure in the secondary National Curriculum. After all, you wouldn't expect to start teaching kids to speak at the age of 11 would you? (oh, I forgot about other modern languages. Well, perhaps that's why we're bloody awful at those too)
It is also worth noting that the National Curriculum does not represent all the teaching that goes on in schools. Teachers are free to introduce other experiences and subjects if they wish to do so, as long as they are also meeting the statutory requirements of the National Curriculum.
The SEN and Disability Act, which was introduced in September 2002, means that more disabled children are now learning in mainstream schools, where that is what their parents want.
Hang on, we're back to the Deaf=disabled issue again. No. That's not what we're arguing. BSL is a language. Deaf are a linguistic minority. Anyway, we're not arguing about what to teach Deaf children here, we're talking about teaching hearing children BSL.
This means that schools are developing a greater understanding of the needs of disabled people and in some schools this may well lead to teachers deciding to offer sign language to help ensure a child with a hearing impairment is fully included in school life.
Well, it's nice to see you finally admit that 1. Deaf children are not fully included in school life, 2. This is a linguistic issue, and 3. That the problem would go away if you taught all hearing children in the school BSL. Oh. But you've said you're not going to do that. (oh and PLEASE stop calling them children with a 'hearing impairment', unless you want them to refer to you as someone with a 'sign impairment')
In conclusion therefore, it is right that schools should have the opportunity to teach BSL but we would not wish to specify that it must be taught to all pupils. We believe rather that this should remain a matter for schools to decide in view of their own local, and possibly more pressing, needs."
Ah… and there's the crux of it. Schools have more pressing needs than to try and teach their pupils about difference, equality and otherness and adequately ensure the integration of some 70,000 signing members of British Society.
Well, that's OK. The schools are probably just following your example.

I have been looking at your blog and I didn't know their was so much to learn about the deaf community.
Are their deaf Churches and what about worship???
As your a gifted musican how does this fit in with your gifting in that area??

Did you know that goat meat is the number one consumed meat in the world? Goat is a staple of Africa, Asia and South/Central America, and a delicacy in a few European cuisines. The cuisines best known for their use of goat include Middle Eastern, North African, Indian, Pakistani, Mexican, and Caribbean. Despite being classified as red meat, goat is leaner and contains less cholesterol and fat than both lamb and beef. Therefore, it requires low-heat; slow cooking to preserve tenderness and moisture.
El Regalo produces two general classifications of goat meat. The meat of a fully grown goat, or "chevon", is excellent stewed, curried, baked, grilled, barbecued, minced, canned, fried, or made into sausage. Goat jerky is also another popular variety. The meat of a younger goat, or "cabrito", is especially common in Latin cuisines such as Mexican, Peruvian, Brazilian, and Argentine, and is usually slow roasted. Many cultures feature goat as the Easter dish!

Today, VoteVets launched a hard-hitting ad going after Rehberg's lack of willingness to fund essential services for of veterans.
VoteVets was "Founded in 2006, and backed by over 100,000 supporters, the mission of VoteVets.org is to use public issue campaigns and direct outreach to lawmakers to ensure that troops abroad have what they need to complete their missions, and receive the care they deserve when they get home. VoteVets.org also recognizes veterans as a vital part of the fabric of our country and will work to protect veterans' interests in their day-to-day lives.
VoteVets.org is committed to the destruction of terror networks around the world – with force when necessary – to protect America. While non-partisan, the group is the largest progressive organization of veterans in America."
Millionaire Rep. Denny Rehberg voted himself a pay raise five times, but against additional funding for prosthetics research that would help wounded vets. Now he wants us to call him Senator? No Way.
Tags2012 Senate Race Rehberg Veterans
Craig Moore says:
VoteVets has been a left-wing Dem organization from it's beginning. It's founder worked on Kerry's failed campaign. From it's inception it has been anti R and has distorted the truth for political purposes: http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2006/false_claims_about_body_armor.html
As to any claims that VoteVets is non-partisan there is this also from Fact Check: http://www.factcheck.org/overspiced_louisiana_gumbo.html
VoteVets eventually reported making 99.7 percent of its political donations and political spending last year supporting Democrats or attacking Republicans.
I think Tester is pumping a dry well trying to use Veterans as an issue – it sure shows his lack of real accomplishments, doesn't it?
I think he'd do better with his base if he campaigned ON his support for Obama, instead of now distancing himself.
The Dems are wrong about a lot of issues, but some of them still respect sincerity.
Pogie says:
I'd say that working to improve the quality of life of veterans is proof that Tester has "real accomplishments."
What about Denny?
HelenaInsider says:
Agreed. Tester has an incredibly strong record of helping veterans. Rehberg? The complete opposite. He votes for major, unfunded wars and then cuts vets' benefits. Despicable.
Moorcat says:
Of course you would say that, Erik. You don't want Tester to win… Remind me again how many years you served in the Military? As a vet, it makes a HUGE difference to me.
larry kurtz says:
Control the courts, Dems: you can support VoteVets here.
Pete Talbot says:
A couple of thoughts. First, Craig, VoteVets may be a pro-Democrat organization but those are facts in that TV spot. There's no disputing that. And VoteVets isn't any less legitimate than the Republican supported "Swiftboaters Against Kerry." Remember them?
I think it's a strong spot. Definitely higher caliber than the chicken spot shown in the previous post. That one's pretty sophomoric (although I do like Chris Matthews pronunciation of "Rayberg").
But it's all just the tip of the iceburg. What with Citizens United, and SCOTUS ruling against Montana's campaign finance laws, it's going to be nonstop negative political commercials until Nov. 6.
Who cares what their bias is? At least they are using their names…and as Pete says, their facts are correct. Rehberg has been terrible on veterans issues.
I completely agree with Pete. Craig and Eric, I know it can be difficult to read past the first sentence of a paragraph sometimes, but VoteVets describes THEMSELVES as "the group is the largest progressive organization of veterans in America." Done. Their progressives – so what?
Is anything they're saying in the ad false? No. Rehberg has consistently voted against Veterans, while Tester has made helping Veterans a central focus of his since he was elected. Has Rehberg consistently voted to give himself pay raises (even though he promised not to) while voting to cut Veterans' benefits? YES.
G. Johnson says:
Bush's stop-loss policy of mandatory tour extensions turned quite a few people around in the military, that plus the fact they realize that Exxon/Mobil and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were the major beneficiaries of the Iraq invasion.
The GOP has always kept the military contractors happy; the soldiers, not so much.
Here's some of Rehberg's voting record on military issues:

- Slight VC Injury Update -

Vince Update
Step into the lobby of the USF gym and make up your own mind, because VC was a MOFW today:
"I was able to wake up and walk, that's good enough for me."
Are you gonna play tomorrow?
"We'll see. Told you, I'll see. Game time decision. I'm not going to rush it. Day by day is all that matters. It's not, 'Oh, I'm looking two, three days ahead.' Not at all."
Any improvement?
"I won't know until I try to run, practice. Right know, I'm trying to let the swelling come down, let it heal on its own first. And then go from there. They told me 'Just relax.' A lot of ice yesterday."
You're going to try to practice today?
"I don't know. Probably not, but we'll see. . . .Maybe not. Just wait for tomorrow morning and give it another day of nothing. As many days as I can get, I'd do that."
The final word on the issue:
"It's all about just being smart. I don't want to just come back because if it's a nagging injury, it could last all season. So I want to be smart about it. We'll sit and talk about it tonight as well as tomorrow and go from there."
P.S.: They didn't really practice much. Lawrence Frank just assembled them to scream at them some more about their defensive shortcomings at Golden State more than anything. We'll tell you more tomorrow from the shoot in Sacto.
P.P.S.: Our resident expert on back problems, Jeff McInnis, has something to add. "His is more in the middle, mine was on the side," the Nets' guard said, smiling as he sets up the punch line. "But his isn't as bad. Like I told him on the bus, 'You ain't hurt, man, at least you could get out of bed.'"
Oops...I think this was already slightly reported earlier lol. Sorry.
Doesn't really tell much. I hate it when NBA players always make excuses like when we people aske them if the injury is getting better, some just say we'll see and stuff.
Here is something you can't understand

weather you like it or not.... that's the only thing you can say after an injury
do you really expect a player to say "it still hurts, but I know for sure that when I wake up tomorrow, I'll feel great and I'll be able to play 40 minutes!" ?

Looking forward to see Linton Johnson, taking his roster spot.
Gmister said:
Linton Johnson already has Jason Collins' roster spot...we're hoping if VC can't go then Antoine Wright gets his roster spot but we'll see.

i'd be looking forward to seeing wright and johnson get minutes...maybe VC + collins injuries are blessings in disguise

Invasive Tree-Eating Beetle May Put Bite on Fall Foliage
By Live Science Staff 09 September 2011
How much longer will maples grace New England forests? A beetle may have the answer.
(Image: © NSF Harvard Forest LTER Site)
The official start of fall is only weeks away, and with it comes the spectacle of millions of trees turning a riot of amber and scarlet hues. But one of the most iconic of autumn's trees, New England's maple, is being increasingly threatened by a nefarious pest.
The Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis) is believed to have arrived in New York City and other major cities via shipping containers from China. Its larvae burrow deep into maples and other hardwood tree species and feed on the wood and the vessels within the tree that transport water.
Eradication efforts in Chicago, New York and other cities have focused exclusively on urban street trees, but a new study of an infestation in Worcester, Mass., has shown that the invasive insect can easily spread from tree-lined city streets to neighboring forests.
"From our work it became apparent that [beetle] was readily moving through forests and attacking trees, making it a threat to forests in the region," said study co-leader Kevin Dodds, an entomologist from the U.S. Forest Service.

Maples under attack
On city streets the insects will attack any tree nearby, but in forests, it almost exclusively targets large maples.
Red maples, the study shows, are particularly vulnerable to infestation. Red maples are widespread in New England and central to the region's fall foliage tourism industry, which attracts more than 1 million visitors annually to New England and generates $1 billion in revenue. Other maple species are key to the region's maple syrup industry. [Related: Why Fall Leaves Change Color]
The beetle was first detected in Worcester in 2008 by a private citizen. At one of the forested study sites in a suburb north of Worcester, nearly two-thirds of all the maples were infested, including red, sugar and Norway maples.
The Worcester outbreak is the largest to date in North America with more than 19,600 infested trees found, more than 1,100,000 trees searched and more than 29,000 trees removed. It is also the largest in quarantined area size. Containment efforts now cover a 98-square-mile area around the city. Forests surrounding Worcester are part of a heavily wooded corridor stretching from New York into New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine.
"If the [beetle] continues to spread outside Worcester, the abundance of red maples could provide a pathway for its dispersal throughout New England and other parts of eastern North America," ecologist David Orwig of Harvard University said.

The eradication efforts in the affected tree stands have involved tree harvest and consequently have led to shifts in forest composition from maple to oak, which may have cascading effects on soil processes and ecosystem function.
Orwig notes that a long view is critical to studying and forecasting the impacts of beetle and other invasive pests .
"The duration of the current infestation is unknown, but it is likely to continue for at least several more years," he said. "Only through a long-term approach can we begin to evaluate the impacts of how ecosystems are impacted over decades and longer."
The results of the study appeared Aug. 30 in the Canadian Journal of Forest Research.

MASKELIYA: Often, religious sites are marred by a dispute between different believers, each claiming their ownership over the sacred place for their faith. But there is a place equally revered by several religions: the Adam's Peak, or Sri Pada (the Holy Footprint) in Sri Lanka. Believers of many faiths, as well as those who have none, pay pilgrimage to the Peak, respecting each other.
Sacred to four religions—Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity—the 7,360ft Adam's Peak has attracted devotees daily for over a thousand years.
For Buddhists, the 5ft 11 inch footprint on a rock atop the peak is Lord Buddha's; Hindus trace it back to Shiva. It is also attributed to be St Thomas the Apostle's by the Portuguese. Muslims and Christians, meanwhile, believe that footprint belongs to Prophet Adam. They believe that when Prophet Adam was taken out of paradise and placed in the world, he landed on this peak in Sri Lanka.
Whatever legend one may believe, it is obvious that Adam's Peak is among the world's sacred mountains. The site has been a place of worship for kings and commoners alike.
Its pilgrimage season runs during the dry period between January and April, when both Sri Lankans and foreigners visit the mountain for its lush greenery and mountain tracks.
Typically, three routes are available to visitors. One takes 10 miles on foot starting from Ratnapura. The other starts from Kuruwita and takes 12 miles on foot, and the shortest begins from Maskeliya and takes around four miles and over 5000 steps. The easiest way, however, is from Hatton, which which lies 32 km southwest.
Climbs usually begin at 1am to catch the sun's rays above the surrounding forest and tea country. This destination arrives after four to five hours of climbing through the night, in darkness. Some do choose to make the ascent during the day, and camp through the night to catch the ceremony welcoming the sunrise.
At the summit, climbers ring an old bell to signal their return to the mountain. This could be under the cover of the night, or while watching the peak's breathtaking view of sunrise.
Charlia, an Australian tourist who climbed through the Maskeliya route, had long desired to see the view famed view of dawn. "My dream came true this morning," she says. Her climb was difficult and tiring, but she the feeling of making it to the top was "incredible." She feels those who visit Sri Lanka and don't visit Adam's Peak lose out on the island's real charm.
Mearinna Mea Lubiren, a Christian visitor from Malaysia, had anticipated the climb to be difficult. It was tiring, but she controlled her mind and reaffirmed herself when she saw elderly people climbing without a hint of complaint. She also felt challenged by the men running errands up and down the mountain's height: they went back and forth carrying food items, water and gas cylinders.
"All of these motivated me, and I managed to climb in four hours," Lubrien says. There were moments when she had to push herself so smile or laugh when the laugh was actually stuck in her lungs.
"It was a battle with my own self, whether I should continue or to give up." But she didn't, and when she finally got to the top—"My heart danced with joy and pride." She felt proud; she had won over herself.
Chandrapala, a 63 year-old Buddhist pilgrim, steadily chants a sacred hymn loudly on his way up. Buddhists believe that Buddha visited the peak during the third and final of his legendary visits to Sri Lanka.
"It keeps our spirit high when we climb the Sri Pada singing the holy hymn," the pilgrim says. This is his third visit—20 years after his last one.
Some of the visitors making their way up to see the sacred footprint are Muslim. Ahmad Zaman, a tourist from Pakistan, always wanted to visit Sri Lanka for "father Adam's peak". Even though Zaman was tired out by his trek up, he says his tiredness vanished after seeing the footprint. It was a special sentiment he cannot put into words; his eyes were on the footprint.
"At last I am here," Zaman exhales.
On the mountain, spiritual fulfillment is not restricted to the individual's experience. A group of Colombo University students hang around the mountaintop, students, offering tea and biscuits to visitors.
"We observe this activity every year based on human service," the lead student volunteer says. They collect money to buy food for the pilgrims and other visitors who visit for mental peace and satisfaction.
Thanks for such an amazing article. Believe me, visiting Adam's Peak was most memorable trip of my life. We got a free foot massage on our way down by local volunteer.
I have heard it first time in my life, that it has such a respect for our father.
thanks dawn for such an excellent article ,will visit there inshaallah.
Photos are excellent. keep it up.
As long as they are not killing each other over this it's all good.
It is just piece of stone. Each to his own. But, great photographs.
where is the footprint picture?
The visitors should start the climb at midnight to see the rise of sun. It is marvelous and fabulous. Thanks for the great writeup.
I have visited Sri Lanka twice, but every time I planned to visit but failed. This article and Pics gave me the info we want to know. This is the Only Place where believers of every religion pay full respect. We wish to see this place in next plan.
I have visited Sri Lanka Twice, but failed to visit Adams Peak. This article give the lot of info and pics specially the Adams Foot. This is the only place where believers of every religion came and pay respect this place. We wish to plan and visit in our next tour of Sri Lanka. Special thanks to the writer of this article.
An excellent write up on " Pul-e-Adam " (AS). Very informative and absorbing. Thank you DAWN.
Lord Buddha confined mainly to in and around the following places. Lumbini / Kapilavastu, the place of birth/childhood living; Bodh Gaya, the place of enlightenment; Shravasti, the place he lived for 24 monsoon period and Kushinagar, the place of death and cremation. Buddhism got spread across east Asia on the efforts of Emperor Ashoka and alas ! got decimated in its land of birth, India.
I still remember the trip it was tiring and I felt pain for many days later but the trip was splendid and unique.

Components such as design, load time, layout, and usability sets your site apart from competitors—which is crucial when comparing your website to competitors on a Google or Yahoo search.
Specifically, load time is one of the most important components for a web page, considering that 40 percent of web users will leave a page that takes longer than 3 seconds to load.
As the amount of mobile users continues to grow, a responsive website (one which can convert to multiple different mobile formats) is necessary for staying relevant. This is especially important because search engines now factor whether or not a website is responsive when ranking web pages. Make sure your company's website reaches as many potential viewers as possible with a responsive site to help drive traffic and improve SEO.
Each of these factors should be taken into consideration when designing your company site. In fact, 94 percent of users consider design as a reason for not deeming certain website as credible. Additional features, such as social media links and landing pages, allow your website to generate traffic elsewhere, which will contribute to your company's goals and objectives.
