This chapter has to do with the opening of six of the seven seals. It is also the beginning of something known in the Bible as the "Day of the Lord." This "Day" begins with the seven years of tribulation and ends with the Great White Throne of Judgment before which all the unsaved shall stand. See Rev. 20:11-15. This period of seven years is also called, "The Time of Jacob's Trouble." Jacob's name was changed to Israel in Gen. 32:28. So, "The Time of Jacob's Trouble" is really "The Time of Israel's Trouble." The events of this period are recorded in chapters 6 through 19 of Revelation. These same events are also covered in Matthew 24:25.
Chapter 11 is a most interesting chapter. A careful reader will find it as difficult as it is interesting. The questions are often asked: Will the temple be rebuilt in Jerusalem again? Will the Jews go back to their former worship? The first two verses of this chapter would answer a positive "yes" to these questions.
The Day of the Lord
The Day of the Lord extends from the Rapture until the purgation of the heavens and the earth by fire, preparatory to the new heavens and new earth. Momentous events will take place within this "Day:"
- A confederation of countries will form a Roman Empire (see Daniel 2 and Daniel 7). A political ruler will rise to rule this empire and he will make a covenant with Israel (see Daniel 9:27 and Revelation).
- A false religious system will be formulated under a false prophet (see Revelation 13:11-18).
- The pouring out of judgments will take place: the seal judgments (see Revelation 6), the trumpet judgments (see Revelation 8:11), and the bowl judgments (see Revelation 16).
- The overthrow of the professing Church will occur (see Revelation 17-18).
The Seal of the Father (Rev. 14:1-5) - The chapter opens with a scene in Jerusalem. The Lord Jesus is standing in the city, surrounded by 144,000 who have the seal of the Father's name on their foreheads (in contrast to the seal of the Antichrist). This is a look at the triumphant Christ at the beginning of His Millennial reign. These were sealed at the beginning of the Tribulation and, despite the fury of the devil, not one of them was lost. God's omnipotent power or authority was behind the seal. Despite being hunted, imprisoned, hungry, naked, and thirsty, each one was preserved by God (Read John 10; it speaks of the believer's security and him never perishing). The seal of the believer is the Holy Spirit. See Eph. 1:13-14 [Sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption (the redemption of the body), the first resurrection]. See also Romans 8, "Nothing can separate us […]".
The Everlasting Gospel (Rev. 14:6-8) - The message of the gospel never changes; it is everlasting. There is only one gospel (Galatians 1). Different aspects of it have been stressed at different periods; here, judgment is stressed. God has used different means to proclaim the gospel. During the Church Age, He uses men (2 Cor. 5:9). During the Tribulation, He will use the two witnesses. At this point, an angel is used. This angel preaches from the air, so everyone will hear it. Note that angels are indestructible, while thousands of preachers had lost their lives. [Stress the fundamentals of the Gospel as it applies to us today - 1 Cor. 15, death, burial, and resurrection; this is the Gospel the Lord has commanded His servants to preach in the entire world]
[Describe the destruction of the apostate church]
In this chapter we are introduced to one described as the "great harlot." We are also confronted with a weird seven-headed, ten-horned beast. To get the meaning of the chapter, we must identify these two.
The Great Harlot - The "great harlot" is the apostate church – a wicked religious system. In Rev. 17:1, we see that this woman sits upon many waters. Rev. 17:15 clarifies that these "waters" refer to peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. John's description of this woman makes her bath both fascinating and repugnant. The most disgusting and horrible thing about her is that she is drunk, not with alcohol, but with the blood of believers (Rev. 17:6).
The Beast - John describes the weird beast with seven heads and ten horns carrying this woman. What a diabolical combination! This beast is symbolic of the Roman Empire or the Common Market nations. Bringing this picture into focus, we see the conditions that will prevail during the first 3½ years of the Tribulation.
The Destruction of the Apostate Church - The Antichrist of Rome finds it expedient to go along with the apostate church. The fact that the woman rides the beast indicates that, for a time, the religious system influences the political system. In the middle of the Tribulation, the Roman Antichrist and the Jewish False Prophet find that they have no more use for the apostate church, so they destroy her.
In Revelation 14, we saw God's reluctant, but final decision to close the gates of heaven to any further entrants. In His great foreknowledge, God knows that every unbeliever alive on the earth at that time will have hardened his heart against the Gospel and will never come to Him. Therefore, He prepares to release the final judgments on the earth.
The Bowls of Wrath
Revelation 16:1 - This verse depicts a great voice booming out of the smoke-filled temple. This voice gave the seven angels orders to pour out the bowls of wrath that had been given to them.
Bowl No. 1
Revelation 16:2 - "There fell a foul and painful sore open on those who had received the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image." This sore will be worse than anything man has ever experienced. It will be so foul and painful that cancer and leprosy will be trivial by comparison. No known drug will cure these sores. Even the Antichrist with his supernatural abilities will not be able to cure these malignancies. On the other hand, God will supernaturally protect the believers from this horrible plague. "Be not deceived, God is not mocked." Compare this with the plague of boils in Exodus 9:8-11.
Bowl No. 2
Revelation 16:3 - "The sea became like the blood of a dead man." In essence, the waters congeal like blood and every living creature that lived therein died. In Rev. 8, only a third of the sea became blood and only a third of the marine life died. In this judgment, all marine life is going to be wiped out. The whole earth will be affected. Sea transportation will be paralyzed. The former series of judgments (seals & trumpets) have increased gradually in measured progression. In the bowl judgments, all the stops are out.
Bowl No. 3
Seven Last Judgments (Revelation 15:1) - In this chapter we are introduced to the final judgments of the Tribulation. Chapters 15 and 16 record the consummation of events leading to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, as seen in Revelation 19. Rev. 15:1 introduces us to seven angels. Each one has the power to unleash a judgment upon mankind. These judgments are the most intense and devastating of all the judgments that precede them. The seal judgments showed man's wrath against himself. The trumpet judgments showed Satan's fury against mankind. The vial or bowl judgments reveal the wrath of God against rebels and enemies. God has been slow to anger, but at this point His long-suffering ends and His judgments fall on mankind.
John says in verse one, "for in them is filled up the wrath of God." That is to say, in these judgments, the wrath of God is brought to a conclusion: It is finished. At this point, it is God's wrath on those who have continued rejecting Christ that is to be finished. This is a sobering thought for anyone who continues to reject God's offer of salvation. There will come a time when God's patience and long-suffering will be exhausted and there will be no more opportunity to receive Christ as Savior; this happens to some in life, to others after death. The future for such persons is the lake of fire. See Rev. 20:11-15.
This is one of the great prophetic chapters of the Bible. An understanding of its contents is essential to the correct interpretation of prophecy. Only a small part of the chapter fits into the sequence of events during the Tribulation. The chapter is really an inset providing the necessary information about the past, present, and future events concerning Christ, Israel and Satan. Chapter 12 reveals "the conflict of the ages." This conflict involves Israel, Christ and Satan. There are four great passages brought to our attention in the chapter: (1) The Woman [Rev. 12:1-2], (2) The Great Red Dragon [Rev. 12:3-4], (3) The Man-Child [Rev. 12:5-6], and (4) Michael, the Archangel [Rev. 12:7-12]. It will be our purpose here to look at each of these more closely.
The Woman (Rev. 12:1-2)
There appeared a great "sign" in heaven. The appearance of this woman is a sign or symbol of an important truth. It is a miraculous signpost. Who is this woman? [Describe her at this point]
The Bible is its own best interpretation. In Genesis 37, at 17 years old, Joseph had a dream. He dreamt that the sun and moon and eleven stars bowed down to him. His family understood the dream and resented it, for it referred to his father (Jacob), mother (Rachel), and eleven brothers bowing down to him. Joseph's dreams came true. They bowed down before him three times with their faces to the ground. The woman John saw here in Rev. 12 is clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet, and crowned with a crown of twelve stars. This identifies her as the nation of Israel, the descendants of Jacob and Rachel.
The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer
Rev. 8:1 - "And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." This is a startling statement. It was the awesomeness of the opening of the seventh seal that caused the hosts of heaven to pause in silence, for they had received a panoramic view. The judgment of the six seals in Rev. 6 was terrible in their content, but with the blowing of the trumpets, the judgment increases in intensity.
If I may direct your thoughts for a moment, to the judgment given through the pouring out of the seven bowls: there is a definite progression in the intensity of the judgments. This knowledge brings "silence in heaven for half an hour." Rev. 5:4-5 shows us that Heaven is a happy place. The angels, the four living creatures, the 24 elders (whom many believe to be the church) - everyone in heaven, whom we have seen there, is rejoicing in jubilation, but now they are silent. It seems as if heaven gasps in horror at the prospect of such judgment about to fall on mankind.
After the judgment of the six seals, one would have thought that mankind would have repented. But, no, seal six repented not. Why don't men and women repent today? How easy it is to do so (see John 5:24). "God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked." "He is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance," (2 Peter 3:9).
The Redeemed of the Tribulation
Revelation 7 gives us a ray of light against the backdrop of gloom as the six seals have been opened. [Describe the grace of God in all the judgment - explain both the parable of the wicked husbandmen and the parable of the Lost Sheep, the Lost Silver Coin, and the Lost Son in Luke 15]. Rev. 7 answers, once and forever, the question, "Will anyone be saved during the tribulation?" It is also a description of what has happened and a preview of what will happen.
The latter question is often asked in view of the fact that the Holy Spirit has been removed from the earth. Will anyone be saved during the Tribulation and Millennium? (Explain what some believe relative to salvation in the Tribulation). It is important that we understand in what sense the Holy Spirit will be removed. We must distinguish between His presence and His residence. Christ ascended 40 days after His resurrection. Ten days later the Holy Spirit descended to earth and took up His residence in the life of every believer. The Holy Spirit who had been with them would now be in them. See John 14:17.
When the rapture of the Church occurs, the residence of the Holy Spirit changes. He goes with them. But being God, and therefore omnipresent, He will continue to convict of sin and bring many to Christ during the Tribulation. [Discuss the Holy Spirit's work]
The Choosing of the 144,000
How did these hear the gospel so they could be saved? It is likely that they heard the preaching of the two witnesses of Revelation 11. Many others will be saved through the preaching of these two witnesses and also through the testimony of the 144,000.

The Discussion: The thing that's really valuable within the Foundation global conceptual "mind set" is that we have created several diverse platforms to provide support for various populations. Worldwide, the senior population is expected to continue to grow faster than any other age group. That means a significant increase in demand for solutions like in-home care that can help aging adults maintain good health and live longer as engaged members of society.
JBead Foundation will create a supply for this demand by offering the community a portfolio of services for our seniors.
Our Mission "Helping disabled seniors learn about resources to promote independence and quality of life."
Our Vision
...is that all seniors should have access to the resources that they are entitled to through their community, insurance, local non-profit organizations or service for our country.
Many seniors that we serve will have simple needs but go without because they are unaware about the process to connect with resources they need to live a quality life.
Our Role
"JBead Foundation Helping Hands" role is to be a bridge to resources while storing a database about how to qualify, apply for and receive the benefits we know about so that this information is shared with disabled seniors who need those services.
The Foundation has twenty (20) Community Outreach Programs. The annual operating budget for the Aging outreach program is: $1.8 million dollars. If you would like to view the complete operating budget spreadsheet, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here is a brief summary of various program services and employment opportunities created within the community to boost the economy.

Store location: 6586 Ga Highway 40 E, Saint Marys, GA 31558
This store's dish department is pitiful. I found 2 dead betta fish rotting in yellow water and tons of left over food in the bottom of the other betta fish cups.
You had masses of dead fish in the corners of your tank, a dead floating goldfish, and a dead pleco in the bottom of your tank. There was also a bin filled almost to the top with dead fish that could easily be seen by anyone who passed the fish department.
This happened on August 12 2014 at 3:00 PM. I'm hoping someone's *** gets fired for this since I complained to the manager about this.
Product or Service Mentioned: Walmart Manager.
Monetary Loss: $15.
What a horrible dish department indeed.
Actually this person later admitted to putting the food in the tanks to kill the fish herself because the person in charge of the department reported her for stealing things from the store. They made an attempt to get the person fired as well because they were fired and it failed because of security camera footage.
They were forced to tell the truth. Wonder what happened to the update post.
That is horsecrap and you know it.
Actually it really happened this time, but then again you could be the OP making saying this.
I worked in the pet department of a Wal-Mart, and the fish are dying of ick before they are even sold to the customer. Buy one fish, and it will contaminate your other fish... I complained about it to management, and they let me go for it....
This is very true. I bought fish at Walmart before I even knew about ICK.
I bought 10 platy's and only two made it after that ordeal.
If you go look at the fish the ICK looks like white small dots which are cysts and some look like someone took a salt shaker to them. A-lot of them have fin rot too.
The fix is very cheap and they sell the medication but I am sure the managers throws a fit when they need to spend $3 to correct this problem with a bottle of Quick Cure.
I used to work for them and they refuse to let us use store items that were 80 cents to $3 worth of supplies to do our job.

Metropolitan Museum NYC provides free access to digital Images from the Museum's renowned collection
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has just announced that more than 400,000 high-resolution digital images of public domain works in the Museum's world-renowned collection may be downloaded directly from the Museum's website for non-commercial use. The images can be used at no charge, without getting permission from the museum. In making this announcement, the Met joined other world-class museums in putting put large troves of digital art online.
To nominate just one example, The Steerage, made in 1907 by Alfred Steiglitz is available, complete with a detailed description of the work.
As proprietor of the Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession and publisher of the photographic journals Camera Notes and Camera Work, Alfred Stieglitz was a major force in the promotion and elevation of photography as a fine art in America in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Steerage is considered Stieglitz's signature work, and was proclaimed by the artist and illustrated in histories of the medium as his first "modernist" photograph. It marks Stieglitz's transition away from painterly prints of Symbolist subjects to a more straightforward depiction of quotidian life.
The Steerage began its life as a masterpiece four years after its creation, with Stieglitz's publication of it in a 1911 issue of Camera Work devoted exclusively to his photographs in the "new" style, together with a Cubist drawing by Picasso. Stieglitz loved to recount how the great painter had praised the collagelike dispersal of forms and shifting depths of The Steerage. Canonized retroactively, the photograph allowed Stieglitz to put his chosen medium on par with the experimental European painting and sculpture he imported and exhibited so presciently at his gallery. In 1915, he lavishly reprinted the image in large-scale photogravure on both vellum and japanese paper for inclusion in his last magazine, 291.
The Steerage, 1907, Alfred Stieglitz, (American, Hoboken, New Jersey 1864–1946 New York), printed in or before 1913. Medium: Photogravure. Dimensions: 32.2 x 25.8 cm (12 11/16 x 10 3/16)

Causeway Bay
Photo by tallkev
Causeway Bay has been synonymous with Japanese department stores for many years. Although stores such as Mitsukoshi and Daimaru have retreated from the territory in the past decade, they are etched in the collective memory of many locals, becoming landmarks. You will still hear locals telling taxi drivers to drop them off at the old Daimaru or Mitsukoshi. To fill the vacuum, Causeway Bay literally has a facelift and has evolved into a microcosm that caters to a wide spectrum of shoppers. One thing about Causeway Bay that hasn't changed though is its status as a mecca for shoppers, where you can shop till you drop.
Photo by qiaomeng
The 13-storey Sogo is the last standing Japanese department store in the area. Across from Sogo is Times Square, a mega shopping complex with the biggest video wall in Asia. The front entrances of Sogo and Times Square are the most crowded places in Causeway Bay, somehow becoming de facto meeting points and new landmarks. Navigating through the crowd takes patience and tactics, alternately braking and accelerating. For some reasons, people will abruptly stop while walking, some turning to check if friends and family are in tow, some for no reason at all.
Photo by qiaomeng
Locals can distinguish the clientele who frequent different parts of Causeway Bay. The more affluent area is Lee Gardens and Lee Gardens Two that house the ready-to-wear collections of Chanel, LV, Prada and Gucci. You will see a lot of well heeled ladies having high tea at Cova Caffe Ristorante at the Lee Gardens. The café has a long history dating back to the 1800's, but it is quite comical the way diners then and now mirror each other, where the cafe once has been serving European royalties, it is now serving the Queens of haute couture. There is a whole floor at Lee Gardens Two that caters to designer babies, luring chic moms with their toddlers and helpers. The clothes are ridiculously expensive for the amount of fabric, but the smiles you see on the proud moms twirling their precious ones in these adorable clothing are priceless.

As you weave through the streets behind Lee Gardens and migrate to Times Square, you will find an eatery that is founded in 1860 on Pak Sha Road. Tai Ping Koon is famous for chicken wings cooked a la Swiss sauce, roast pigeon, Portuguese chicken and a gigantic soufflé that takes four people to finish. The waiters look like they have been around as long as the restaurant. The food here is a great example of "Hong Kong western cuisine" where classic western dishes are added a twist to become a novel cuisine. Unbeknown to the chefs a century ago, these dishes have become classics local people love.

A few turns and you will find yourself on Sharp Street or Yiu Wah Street, with Times Square looming in front of you. The rent in Hong Kong ranks amongst the highest in the world. In an area like Causeway Bay with such high human traffic, rent for a roadside shop is exorbitant. In recent years, there is a trend for shops to move from roadsides into buildings. As shops move upward into buildings, bars have followed suit. There are bars on almost every floor in the buildings on both streets. To pick one, simply step into the elevator and press any floor. Since the bars usually occupy a whole floor, you can take a peek to see if it's to your liking or press "door close" to the next floor. The turnover rate of these bars is quite high. Moving into buildings does cut the overhead in terms of rent, but it also cuts off a lot of traffic. You don't have to feel embarrassed by the above elevator technique in picking a bar, it's well observed among locals.
When you see Lane Crawford, you are officially in Times Square. Lane Crawford is an upscale department store along the likes of Neiman Marcus or Saks. There is a Japanese supermarket and lifestyle store operated by Citysuper in the basement level. You will find all kinds of delicacies, home wares, gadgets that you don't really need but nice to have. Many Japanese housewives shop here because they can find every cooking ingredient they need from home. If you want to have a quick bite to boost your energy for more shopping, the food court is right here. There are many cuisines to choose from. Before you leave, do stop at Flannel Flowers across the food court. Let your senses bask in the fragrance of the beautiful seasonal flowers on display. If you have a few days' stay in the territory still, a bouquet artfully arranged by the "artists" will brighten your staid hotel room.

If you don't feel like eating at the food court, there is always the choice of the food forum with "20 nationwide eateries". You will see a lot of people queuing below the video wall for the glass elevators to a restaurant of their choice on 10-13/f. The massive Times Square has become the choice location for New Year count down. If you are in the proximity during New Year's Eve be alert to the broadcasts of road blocks. The roads around Times Square are usually cordoned off at around 5-6pm. You have to make a quick decision to stay "in" the area till after the countdown or get out before the roads are closed.
Just opposite of Times Square on Russell Street is Soundwill Plaza, abound with many beauty salons and spas. If you want to take a well deserved rest from all the walking around, you may want to ask the concierge at the lobby for a list of the spas and make an appointment. However, if you really want to take a breather from the jostling crowd, you can plan a leisurely day. The Breakfast buffet at the Park Lane Hotel is a great way to start the day. Café One overlooks the Victoria Park and the harbor, depending on which side they seat you. You can enjoy the extra big cups of coffee or tea while reading a newspaper or magazine. The best part is you can enjoy the 3 hour breakfast at your own pace with multiple helpings of great food.
After a big breakfast, take a walk in Victoria Park. It is the biggest park in Hong Kong and is named after Queen Victoria. There is a statue of the Queen at the main entrance on Causeway Road. Aside from the sporting facilities such as tennis, basketball courts and swimming pools, there is a central lawn with ample greenery around. There are benches spread out in the park where you can sit and relax and temporarily forget you are in a concrete jungle. There are many events held at the park all through the year. You might chance upon one on your visit. The Hong Kong Brands and Products Expo is usually held in December, The Flowers Show in March and the Lantern Show during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The admission fee is HK$10-20, with free admission for children up to a certain age and seniors over 65.

If you want a still quieter way to spend your time, you can visit the Hong Kong Central Library just across the park. There is an escalator to bring you up to a bridge that links the park and the library without having to wait to cross the busy street. As the main library in the territory, the floor area covers 33,800 square meters. The monolith building itself is quite impressive with an arch shaped doorway. If you love to read, browsing through the aisles of books is pure joy. Pick a favorite and read a few passages. If you have kids with you on your trip here, they can spend a relatively calm afternoon in the children's book section. You can also take your book with you and have a cuppa at the Delifrance café located in the lobby. Depending on your energy level, you may want to venture out to the vibrant shopping places again, but if you are a bit bored by the shopping, you may want to have a drink on the top floors of hotels such as the Excelsior and the Park Lane, where you can sip your cocktail overlooking the Victoria harbor and the Kowloon skyline.

Causeway Bay is a really crowded place, so if you are not used to the density of people per square meter, take a moment to recuperate at the many cafes in the area. You can try out the siphoned brewed coffee at the UCC coffee shops on the 4th floor of Sogo department store and the 2nd floor of Causeway Bay Center. Each cup of coffee is individually brewed and watching the baristas skillfully executing these siphoned brews makes you appreciate your coffee in a brand new way. With renewed energy, you can brave the crowd and go shopping again. Have fun in the shopping paradise!!

Do you use plugin extensions on your eCommerce business website? Have you ever wondered how the plugins that you choose actually influence your business? Well, the truth is that not every plugin that you choose work exactly the same as the next. On the contrary, every plugin is unique and will perform an entirely different type of work. Here is how some of them will actually influence your business.
Team Member Plugin
This plugin allows you to display the members of your team. For word press, the plugin is very instrumental in using the most limited space to provide a complete form of information. The WordPress team plugin allows you to display your team's credentials, positions, experience levels, and professional background where possible.
By doing this, this type of extension actually builds up the confidence of your buyers on the team they are working with. It also ensures that your customers have every vital information that they may require on your team. And above all that, the extension plays a key role in keeping your website well designed and so organized.
Logo Slider Plugin
A logo slider in Word Press or any other CMS for that matter is another great plugin. Logo Sliders help eCommerce websites to display the logos of their partners, investors, suppliers, and other stakeholders. How you choose to display the logos are entirely up to you. It can be on the grid, slides, or any other design that works too.
The main reason a logo slider is actually vital is because it raises your credibility. When buyers see some of their household business names working with, they trust you more and will tend to buy. Through this, they also boost your traffic, conversion rates, and minimize bounce rates. A logo slider also builds trust between you and your partners and creates a strong bond which is often ideal for new eCommerce businesses.
Testimonial Plugin
A testimonial slider, unlike a word press logo slider or team member plugin, focuses only on customer experience. It is used to display simple reviews, customer testimonials, and overall the view of the customer on either the service rendered, personal experience with the product bought and many other things a customer may say.
But why do you need a WordPress testimonials plugin? First and like we have seen is to display the testimonies of your clients. Such testimonies build confidence in your new customers. They show the type of experience other customers should expect when buying from you. In addition, they are also super ideal at bringing in new customers as they act as major selling points. Testimonial sliders have customer name and views.
Product Plugin
Product slider WordPress plugin is used to showcase products in an eCommerce website. While their work is not only limited to this. You can also use them to upload new product images onto your eCommerce website. In advanced places, product plugins are also used to position your products on their most appropriate templates too.
Most product display plugins will allow you to highlight on various aspects of your product including the size, color, type, and more. Product plugins also work well when used to feature new products and best sellers. When using product plugins, it is important that you use them together with other plugins such as the logo slider for word press.
What You Should Know About Plugins
If you are running an eCommerce website, you will not survive without using a plugin. Because of this, it is very important that you understand a number of things about word press eCommerce plugins. Some of the most vital aspects that you should keep in mind include the following options.
Updates Period
Irrespective of the type of plugin that you choose, your plugin will need an update somewhere along the line. As a matter of fact, you will realize that many plugin developers often come with different but improved versions of the very first type of plugin that they developed. It is therefore very important to choose the most recent version of any plugin.
Paid Vs. Free
Additionally, there are two types of plugins that you will find. Often there is a trial version that goes for free and there is the paid version. Your business needs may not be much when you are starting. However, with time, they may increase very fast. It is important to upgrade and find a suitable package. This may force you to part with a small amount.
Does the plugin you have chosen work flawlessly with the devices of your customers? Today, many online customers prefer the use of their smartphones. What this means is that as a business, in order to get the best conversion rates you have to tap in here. Always look at how your plugin behaves with the type of devices that your customers use.
The Support
It is not every other day that your plugin may perform at optimum levels. Sometime, your plugin may show signs of glitches. Because you have no tech know-how it may prove difficult to know the source of the problem. Having a 24/7 customer care support is very important if you don't want to lose sales. Therefore always find out if such systems are in place.
No Tech Needed
Finally, it is important to understand that most of the plugins that you will get, such as the WordPress logo extensions need no tech know-how to work with. Many eCommerce owners fear the need to use such extensions on the basis that they must have a tech-based background. You don't need that. The best developers will give you simple to install manuals too.
Whether it is a logo slider in WordPress you should understand what your business stands to gain when it uses it. You should take your time to evaluate the most appropriate one and above everything else, even take your time to test what you have chosen after a given period of use.

An expert retrieved the speed data from the "black box" from the defendant's vehicle after the vehicle had been in police custody for a year without a search warrant. The appeals court concluded that privacy rights and constitutional protections against illegal search and seizure required that the police obtain a search warrant prior to retrieving the data from the "black box".

This research is part of a national collaborative study concerned with the social aspects of energy transitions, specifically how values, perceptions and knowledge among citizens drive their preferences and decision-making. It is funded by a SSHRC Insight Grant to John Parkins (PI) at the University of Alberta, with me and Tom Beckley (UNB) as co-applicants. Our case study areas are: Mactaquac, NB, where a decision is due in 2016 about whether the hydroelectric dam will be decommissioned, removed or rebuilt; and, Peace River, BC/AB, which has a complex energy mix, including a new dam proposal (Site C). My particular interest has been around hydroelectric landscapes, but I have also been peripherally involved in the Q-method, NB citizen jury and national survey elements discussed more on our Energy Transitions in Canada project website. On the basis of our work I made recommendations to NB Power about the Mactaquac decision process.
In 2013 we took residents of the Mactaquac Dam headpond on houseboat tours to elicit and discuss their feelings for the place and its future (Sherren et al., 2016a). Despite the trauma of the dam's construction in the late 1960s, most would prefer it remain, for the landscape and lifestyle amenities. A short documentary, Mactaquac Revisited (see sidebar) was filmed on-board. We returned in 2014 to do land-based interviews to test how landscape norms and preferences are set in human-modified landscapes (Keilty et al. 2016). We also undertook literature review into the likely impacts of dam removal, the option about which there is the most local uncertainty and the least information coming from the local utility, and reconstructed the former landscape using old aerial photographs, shared via an ArcGIS online storymap, Before the Mactaquac Dam (see sidebar, and Holman 2016).
We mined a year of image-based social media (Instagram) to glean better understanding of how so-called Millenials use and value about the landscape in Mactaquac and around the now-approved Site C dam near Fort St. John, BC (Chen et al, 2018, Chen et al. in press). We also monitored text-based social media around Mactaquac and Site C to understand the way that text and image-based social media is used (Chen 2015). Finally, we dug into the New Brunswick survey oversample of our national energy survey to understand provincial perspectives on energy, particularly the Mactaquac decision (Sherren et al., 2016b; Sherren et al. 2017).

Writing Through the Body™ is a writing process created by writer, writing coach, and speaker, Johnnie Mazzocco, designed to help writers banish writer's block, achieve flow, and tell their untold stories
Writing Through the Body™ uses a system based on the seven main chakras of the body and is suitable for writers and people who want to write fiction, memoir, or something in between, or are interested in finding creative ways to further their commitment to self-awareness and personal evolution.
Writing Through the Body™ is both corrective and generative. It can help writers work through obstacles in their writing process, and it can also help generate new work when the ideas just won't come by facilitating deep character creation and development.
Writing Through the Body™ is where the esoteric (the ancient chakra system), the creative (the process and craft of writing), and the academic (my training in argumentation and the Socratic method of inquiry, which is about asking a series of questions to arrive at some sort of truth) meet.
By implementing this one-of-a-kind method to develop characters and tell stories, you'll come away with more believable, engaging characters and more profound, universal stories that will stay with your readers long after they've put down your work.
To schedule a complimentary, 30-minute story form (to discover what form your must-be-told story is best suited for), please schedule a time to meet with me. I'd love to hear about your story ideas.
To learn more about me, please visit my site.

Education is the key to success
At this stage of a civilization's development, education is the single most important investment. Children need a crash course in the world they're born into. When all we had to do was gather berries and build shelters from the storm this was something a village could handle, but not anymore. There are too many subjects, too many students, and too few resources, personnel and otherwise.
Children Can Math
Presently the nation's education budget is about $100 billion dollars. Our entire national budget is around $3 trillion dollars. That means education is getting only 1/30th of the budget. Kids are not born stupid, they're taught basic math and they can figure out how much their future matters to you. It doesn't.
Imagine if Education received 1/4 of the budget
If Education received 1/4 of the national budget that would be around $750 billion dollars. We could build enough schools so that no community would have classes bigger than 15 students. We could provide a computer to every student in every class in every school in America. They'd be built into their desks to prevent wear and tear and accidental damage. All data would be stored on the network so students wouldn't rely on a single machine.
Every student would have a personal folder on the school network, with public and private repositories. This is something we already do in top colleges, why not grade schools? Start them earlier. There could be a secured folder where students would have read-only access to their lesson material, textbooks, assignments and so on.
It's easier than you think.
The politicians want you to believe that kind of budget adjustment is impossible, but it's not. The reason America spends $3 trillion dollars on so many things is because Americans are stupid, thanks to a public school system which hasn't seen a real overhaul since the 1950s. Stupid people cost money to maintain. Smart people would innovate new tools and processes which would improve our society and drive down the costs of maintenance. The only thing that creates smart people is education.

This is a little quickie recipe…if you can even call it a recipe! My toffee granola bars posted last week and also my sticky toffee pudding called for using date syrup, and since it is so easy to make your own I thought I'd share a post dedicated to it.
Dates also have many nutritional benefits, particularly when compared with many other sweeteners and are also very popular with raw foodists. Without going into great detail here; dates are a rich source of dietary fibre, iron and a number of minerals, and are also very rich in antioxidant flavonoids offering protection to the cells in the body. For me the biggest reason to use them- they are a wholefood form of sweetener.
I use a lot of dates, particular in their raw form in my smoosh bar varieties, so I have bought a large box in bulk making for an economical syrup. I use organic deglet noor dates, but either deglet noor or medjoul dates (which are larger and slightly more juicy) should work fine. Medjoul may even be preferable but since I haven't yet tried using these dates I cannot confirm this.
You can either make a date paste or a syrup simply depending on how much water you add. Paste like syrups work better at binding things together whereas a looser syrup works best to spoon over or mix through- i.e spooning over the sticky toffee pudding…Mmmmm!
Since dates naturally have a caramelly, toffee like flavour they make the perfect sweetener for a toffee or caramel flavoured dessert, this can be enhanced with other sweeteners such as brown rice syrup when a very sweet caramelly flavour is required in a desert, but on their own they provide a lovely subtle sweetness. I also add a touch of vanilla extract to the syrup to subtly enhance the flavour, but other flavours or spices could be used too.
The date syrup pictured used 1 cup of water.
Recipe: date paste/syrup
- 1 heaped cup of dates (I used 1 heaped cup to compensate for the fact the dates were whole and not packed in- so you want to visually aim for a fairly packed cup)
- ½ cup hot water-
- for a thick paste
- 1 cup hot water-
- for a thick syrup ( used this for my granola bars)
- 1.5 cups hot water
- - for a smoother easily spoon-able syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract- optional
Place the dates in a small/medium bowl. Pour the required amount of boiling water over the dates and leave to soften for approx. 30 minutes. Once softened pour the contents of the bowl, along with a little vanilla extract, in to a blender (I used my thermomix) and blend until smooth.
Pour the syrup into a jar and store in the fridge if not using straight away. This keeps for at least two weeks in sealed container.
Note: the more water used the more 'dilute' the dates become and therefore less sweet the syrup. If you are afer a sweet syrup you may like to add a little stevia or brown rice syrup also.

I have been posting here about birthdays and celebrations and then writing so many posts for Cure Diva that I haven't really talked here about the healing from the DIEP. It has been 3 months and it is coming along, SLOWLY. I guess I had it in my head (remember its scary there) that it would be faster but as my doctor pointed out it was a 10 hour surgery and if he could take a picture of me being split in half he would. I wish he did! Let us start at the top of the healing process shall we.
My new toobs are great just great. They feel real, l look just like how I wanted and they have gone down in swelling-much to Tom's sadness. HOWEVER, I burned one. Yes you heard it here I burned a toob. See there is no feeling there so while cooking and being 4 feet barely 11 inches my chest hits that stir fry just right. Add the fact I was cooking in a tank and BAM burn. Now here is the gross part, I didn't feel it and the next morning I was in the shower and literally pulled the blister off. I thought it was shower gel. I called the doc who asked for a pic to be texted but said to not worry it happens all the time, seriously??? I sent a pic and he called me 45 minutes later asking if i was putting my make up on before I sent it, ummmm I did send it....to the wrong number!!! I can't make this stuff up really that poor person. It did get infected so I was on yet another round of antibiotics. All is healing now with the exception to yet another scar. I go back to the doctor next week. I am getting bad keloids again and we need to address that.
I talked about the pain in my arm right?? Well I have developed cording, also known as Axillary Web Syndrome. Not going to lie it hurts! It is tight and feel like someone is pulling the nerves. Luckily I am doing stretches and getting PT to ease in this and it has definitely helped. But please keep it in mind if you feel like something is wrong, make sure you are doing your wall climbs and really stretching. These chest muscle have been through the wringer.
As for my abs, well they still are so sore. I have trouble sitting up from laying down. I have not warn jeans in 3 months which may seem fabulous but I am dying to get out of leggings. The right side is still swollen where the drains were but that is normal. All and all I am healing great just becoming impatient, never been great at that. I have been back to the gym and cycling with my favorite instructors and doing a little weights. When I go back next week I am hoping he oks me to kick it up. I really miss my fit body and can not wait to regain it.
While I have been healing we had the second Annual "Pink Out" at Rain Lounge. It was as always amazingly fun. We raised $3000 with the help of a photo booth, raffles and ticket sales. All money raised went to Cancer Connects and Personal P.Ink and I could not be more proud! I can not thank Duke who owns the bar enough for bringing Miss Darienne Lake, Aggy Dune, Mrs. Kasha Davis and Samantha Vega to the stage. The night was filled with laughter, smiles and phenomenal energy all to raise awareness for cancer, who said a fund raiser can't be fun?? Healing through laughter with family, friends and the fabulous queens, whoot whoot.
I do feel a little bad for my father, as my brother upstaged him and danced the last dance with Samantha! I am just thrilled my tiara stayed shiny.

Donald Trump has actually cancelled a prepared check out to the UK in February, where he had actually been anticipated to open a brand-new $1bn (£ 738m) United States embassy in London.
The United States president tweeted he was not a "huge fan" of the brand-new embassy – which is moving from Mayfair to south London.
He blamed Barack Obama's administration for a "bad offer" regardless of the reality the relocation was concurred under George W Bush.
The journey was not the questionable complete state go to used by Theresa May, for which no date has actually yet been set.
- Reality Check: Who offered the United States embassy in London?
- Trump 'in unrefined outburst about migrants'
- President's tweet buffooned on social networks
- What is a state see?
Downing Street stated no date has actually been validated for any go to by Mr Trump which the opening of the United States embassy "is a matter for the United States".
Das "deep and strong" collaboration in between Britain and the United States "will sustain" regardless of Mr Trump's cancellation, a spokesperson included.
jedoch, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan – who has actually encountered the president in the past – stated the United States president had "got the message" that lots of Londoners were staunchly opposed to his actions and policies.
BBC North America editor Jon Sopel stated he presumed the possibility of demonstrations in London would have likewise weighed in the computation.
The United States embassy relocation was verified in October 2008, when President George W Bush was still in the White House.
It was moved from its Mayfair website since it was too little to put in the contemporary security it required, the BBC's diplomatic reporter James Landale stated.
jedoch, Mr Trump blamed previous president Mr Obama's administration for offering "maybe the very best situated and finest embassy in London for peanuts".
Mr Trump likewise criticised the area of the brand-new structure in Vauxhall, south London, as an "off area", einschließlich: "Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO!"
The BBC's North America editor stated February's prepared see might have consisted of conferences with Mrs May at Chequers or Downing Street and lunch with the Königin.
jedoch, no company date for the go to had actually ever been concurred, nor had the White House "pin down the information of the journey", James Lansdale included.
Is the UK a top priority for Trump?
By BBC diplomatic reporter James Landale
Donald Trump states that he is not pertaining to open the brand-new United States embassy in London since he is not a fan of the structure.
Some diplomats recommend the president was not impressed by the low essential nature of the proposed journey, shorn of the pomp and bling he anticipated.
Others state the White House was stressed over the scale of the general public demonstrations that were threatened.
But in the middle of all this is the unpleasant worry that the genuine factor is that Mr Trump simply does not see the UK as a top priority.
In his very first year of workplace, he has actually gone to most other G7 nations and numerous European countries, bestehend aus Belgium, so the lack of Britain from his travel plan stands apart.
Na sicher, journeys – like tweets – can be quickly corrected, and a see by Mr Trump later on this year might in theory resolve the worries.
But with the UK at chances with the United States on an increasing varieties of problems, from Iran to Jerusalem, the absence of a go to brings higher symbolic weight.
The ribbon-cutting event might rather be hosted by United States Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. When the prime minister fulfilled him last year, #FOLGEN
Mr Trump accepted the Queen's invite for a main state go to.
A petition requiring the invite to be withdrawn was signed by more than 1.8 m individuals, while the problem was likewise disputed in parliament.
Reports in June recommended Mr Trump wished to postpone a possible see amidst issues about massive demonstrations.
jedoch, the BBC comprehends Downing Street is thinking about choices for the go to later on in the year.
A previous British ambassador to the United States, Christopher Meyer, informiert BBC Radio 4's World at One he would be "shocked" if the United States president went to the UK in his very first term.
Mr Meyer stated: "It would be so tough to handle from a security viewpoint [und] from a public perspective if he stayed as undesirable amongst the British individuals at big as he is now."
Speaking last month, United States ambassador to the UK Woody Johnson informed the BBC he "definitely" anticipated Mr Trump to check out Britain in 2018 .
During the Queen's Speech at the State Opening of Parliament last summertime, there was no reference of a go to – although a Downing Street representative stated an invite had actually been "extended and accepted".
Mrs May was the very first foreign leader to satisfy Mr Trump after his inauguration when she went to the Oval Office in January 2017.
Typically throughout state sees, the federal government, the checking out federal government and the royal home settle on a comprehensive schedule where the Queen serves as the main host.
The cancellation follows current differences in between the United States and UK.
Mr Trump encountered Mayor of London Sadiq Khan in the consequences of the London Bridge attack in 2015, when he questioned Mr Khan's declaration that there was "no need to be alarmed".
Mr Khan, who likewise questioned Mr Trump's proposed United States travel restriction, stated the United States president's see would "without doubt have actually been fulfilled by mass tranquil demonstrations".
jedoch, Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson implicated Mr Khan and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn of putting the UK's "important relationship" with the United States at threat by opposing the see.
A No 10 spokesperson stated the tweet was "political" instead of representing the views of federal government.
Relations in between London and Washington were likewise put under the spotlight in 2015 after Mr Trump relocated to identify Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Mrs May stated she disagreed with that United States choice , which she considered "unhelpful in regards to potential customers for peace in the area".
And in November, Mr Trump clashed with Mrs May after she stated it was "incorrect" for the United States president to share videos published by the reactionary group Britain.
Mrs May more just recently gone over Brexit and occasions in the Middle East in a pre-Christmas call with Mr Trump.

Schedule Early
Many times, parent teacher conferences go throughout the day and into the evening hours. This can last for 1-2 days, depending on how much time the school has set aside for conferences. Because this can be a long day for your child's teacher, try scheduling your conferences early. Pick a time that works best for you but that doesn't take away from the teacher's personal time.
Ask Questions
When you're at your child's parent teacher conference, it is important to ask questions. Ask the teacher how your child is doing academically, as well as how they are doing behaviorally and socially. Knowing more about how your kid is doing in school is vital to your child's success for the year.
Discover How You Can Help
Your child's education is not a one-man job. As hard as your child's teacher works to make sure that the entire class succeeds, it can be hard to meet the needs of thirty children. In order to make sure your child learns what they need to, ask your child's teacher what you can do to support their education. If they're struggling in reading, see what kind of books you should be reading with them. If they don't understand how addition works, ask for some math games to play at home. Your child's teacher will be grateful for the help and your kid will definitely have the advantage more people helping push them towards success.
Let's discuss: What questions do you ask your child's teacher during conferences?

Meeting, Mediating and Mentoring: The Power of Peer Mentoring
Voices of Aston
Empowering marginalized youth to take leadership on community issues
Empowering marginalized youth to take leadership on community issues
Guns and knives. Unemployment and racial tension. Too often these are the only stories being told about the youth in Aston, a borough of Birmingham, located in the Midlands of the UK.
What we don't hear about, are the incidents happening daily, the small stories about the kids living in these neighborhoods who have decided to try and change their own communities and lives.
In October 2005, as a result of long simmering racial tensions, Lozells the neighboring community to Aston erupted in two days of racial riots between the Afro-Caribbean and Asian community. Petrol bombs and bullets left ten injured and two dead, in addition to thousands in damages to stores and property.
During these disturbances, Asian and Afro-Caribbean youth volunteers from the Voices of Aston group walked the streets together to demonstrate solidarity and to do their part to prevent the ethnic tensions from next door from seeping into Aston.
It worked. The streets of Aston remained peaceful and free of the damage that occurred in surrounding neighbourhoods.
Youth leading youth…
Voices of Aston was set up in 2003 to provide a platform to help "local youths speak for themselves" through programs focused on peer development and mediation. By helping them learn to identify and address solutions within their community and peer groups, the long term goal of the project is to prepare these "disenfranchised" youth to instead play a role as engaged and productive citizens.
Targeted at youth between the ages of 18-24, this peer mediation program was developed around the idea that the people closest to conflict are the ones best placed to find solutions.
Through the Voices of Aston program, young people learn the skills of conflict management, basic mediation training as well as a framework for passing these skills on to their peers. The program also enables participants to learn new personal skills such time management and communication skills; how to work with a diverse group of peers both in age and background.

Making it Work for You:
- Creating opportunities for youth leadership is an investment in your community's future. Find out how you or your organization can help create opportunities for peer mentoring programs to develop.
- Build on success. Once a group is convened around an issue look for other challenges or opportunities to keep them together and involved.
- Share the success of community youth leaders through stories in local media. Provide opportunities for youth leaders to add their own voices to the sharing of successful outcomes.

Many homes in Naramata are vacation rentals for the summer season. The house next door is no exception. Families come for their weekly stay, usually with children and dogs. One young family was in their second week of vacation. They were a young, active couple with a toddler. One day, the dad popped his head over the fence, introduced himself, and asked if we could do him a favour. They had decided to elope after years of being together and needed two witnesses. Could we meet them Monday night at the beach for a simple ceremony? Sure! I whipped up a cake, grabbed a lavender bouquet from the Lavender Shop, and Rick got a bottle of bubbly. (Im an event planner, I couldn't resist.) It was a lovely, magical evening and we were so honoured to witness it. Only in Naramata! I'm not sure this happens in the big city.
We rise by lifting others. In a world where you can be anything, be kind.
That's my view from the deck.

A "yarnbomber" in the West Village had the proper answer this week for the person who took down her "Game of Thrones"-inspired dragon made of yarn: Daenerys Targaryen.
London Kaye, a street artist who started crocheting when she was 13, festooned a 20-foot fence in front of a lot on 14th Street with a fire-breathing dragon last month. But someone didn't like her "yarnbombing," a form of guerrilla street art using yarns and fibers that are knit or crocheted in public places for both protest and whimsy, and took down the colorful creation.
First, the dragon was removed. Then, the rest of the flames. For a couple of days, little ribbons were tied onto the fence asking "where's the dragon?"
"This must have been done by someone in the neighborhood," Kaye told NBC 4 New York. "It touched me so much that it inspired my next piece.....I felt like people loved the dragon so much that I wanted to do something more."
Yesterday, London Kaye installed her new creation on that same fence, making a yarn picture of Daenerys Targaryen the so-called "Mother of Dragons" from the HBO hit series. Targaryen, dressed in her queen garb, blonde hair cascading down, is holding a sign echoing the cry of the neighborhood: "Have You Seen My Dragon?"

1 The Effect of Pulsator on Washing Performance in a Front-Loading Washer
Authors: Eung Ryeol Seo, Hee Tae Lim, Eunsuk Bang, Soon Cheol Kweon, Jeoung-Kyo Jeoung, Ji-Hoon Choic
The object of this study is to investigate the effect of pulsator on washing performance quantitatively for front-loading washer. The front-loading washer with pulsator shows washing performance improvement of 18% and the particle-based body simulation technique has been applied to figure out the relation between washing performance and mechanical forces exerted on textile during washing process. As a result, the mechanical forces, such as collision force and strain force, acting on the textile have turned out to be about twice numerically. The washing performance improvement due to additional pulsate system has been utilized for customers to save 50% of washing time.
