Hong Kong International sees flights blackout, including SAA, as 'an eye for an eye' protest swells
Flights in and out of Hong Kong International Airport are expected to resume on Tuesday morning, after a blackout of all international travel due to pro-democracy movement protests that have gained momentum over the last four days.
CNN reports the airport is using a flight rescheduling system to adjust all flight times, and will work closely with the airlines to reschedule incoming and outgoing flights "according to the capacity of airport operations".
South African Airways also cancelled its flights on Monday. Passengers are being advised to expect knock-on delays. Affected passengers are being advised to rebook their travel by the 16th of August.
"SAA will monitor the situation continuously and will be in constant liaison with the authorities in Hong Kong to receive updates and to know when we could resume operations," says SAA spokesperson Tlali Tlali.
WATCH | 'I came from South Africa to move away from this' - woman slammed after video of her kneeling, crying at Hong Kong protests goes viral
As protesters sang and chanted, an occasional muffled announcement could be heard from the loudspeakers at the major international hub - one of the busiest in the world - handling about 1 100 flights daily across about 200 destinations.
"All flights have been cancelled, please leave as soon as possible." Flight boards showed row after row of flights with their status reading "cancelled".
Underneath one protester had attached a sign: "Sorry for the inconvenience... But we're fighting for survival!"
The protesters streamed into Hong Kong airport and quickly transformed the arrivals hall at one of the world's busiest transport hubs into a sea of black.
Instead of being met by smiling relatives and friends, passengers arriving at the airport were greeted by thousands of pro-democracy activists chanting "fight with Hong Kong, fight for freedom!"
Most were dressed in the movement's trademark black clothing, some sporting construction hard hats or gas masks.
And many added a new accessory on Monday: eye-patches or bandages to pay tribute to a woman who suffered a serious face injury at a protest on Sunday night.
The woman, who has not been identified, was reportedly hit by a beanbag round fired by police, and rumours circulated that she lost her vision.
Images of blood pouring from her face as she lay on a pavement quickly went viral and featured in posters calling for demonstrations under the banner: "an eye for an eye".
"HK police are killing us," read a sign held by one protester. "Hong Kong is no longer safe," said another.
And on walls, pillars and barriers in the airport, protesters sprayed painted red graffiti in English and Chinese reading "an eye for an eye".
"Hong Kong police are out of their minds, exceeding the level of force in their guidelines," said a 22-year-old protester who gave only his surname, Law.
"Hong Kong people must rise up and not be afraid."
Some protesters said the airport had been chosen as a venue for the demonstration because they believed police would not fire tear gas surrounded by international visitors.
"The police wouldn't act unreasonably because if people from other countries see how police can come in and hit people, that would be serious," said Kelvin Liu, a 19-year-old student at the protest.
'Sorry for the inconvenience'
Protesters had already staged a three-day sit-in from Friday at the airport, handing out leaflets about their movement to arriving passengers.
But while several thousand people joined those rallies, the scene on Monday was vastly different, with people so tightly packed that it took 15 minutes to move through the crowd from the upper floor to the ground floor in the arrivals hall.
In the early afternoon, shops in the hall began to shut as the protest swelled, but well-organised volunteers moved through the crowd distributing water and food to the mostly young protesters.
Passengers looked confused as they exited wheeling their luggage, with some moving swiftly past the outstretched hands offering information about the pro-democracy movement.
But others stopped to look at the posters and artwork hung around the hall and talk with the protesters.
"I think they have every right to do what they are doing," said Rhiannon Coulton, 33, from Australia after she landed at the airport.
"I don't know if this will do any good for them, we will have to wait and see."

It turns out that the trouble Mtoto and I have making friends and meeting up with women, who are the vast majority of people looking after children in this city, is all down to other men.
A friend got in touch. She and her husband read my "Man Friends" post the other week. I paraphrase. He said: "Typical of women isn't it?" She said: "Hang on, don't blame the women."
She and I bumped into each other today and while we walked (that's my Janathon exercise for today, folks) our kids to sleep we talked. And she told me that this business of women not wanting to meet up with stay-at-home Dads might be because of the husbands (read partners etc). It's just a theory she said. But what are the wives going to be telling the husbands about their day? That they were meeting up with some chap? The husbands are going to be getting jealous about who exactly these chaps are that their wives are hanging out with. So it isn't worth the hassle for these women. Much easier to simply hang out with other women.
I conceded a point. Both she and another friend who I had been meeting with today know me and my whole family. They've met L, they've met me. They've met Mtoto. They've seen me with their wives and their kids and they've seen me with L and Mtoto. I've been for beers and football with one of the husbands. Maybe when other men don't perceive me as a threat to their relationships, it can all work out. Other women who I've hung out with for an hour or two, I met at a French class. We're fellow students, it's okay.
Assuming that my friend is right, I took it on in a different way. The problem isn't me, it's what I represent and how that might make people question themselves and how they're living.
I'm a guy and who has chosen to spend every waking hour with my kid. After all, I encouraged L to apply for the job that she got, knowing that it would force all kinds of change upon our family. I'm having lots of fun. You might see it as a career break. I see this as an opportunity to explore all kinds of different paths that I might take in life. Are other Dads spending enough time with their kids? Have they got the right balance of time with their families? Is it okay to admit that they would rather not spend time with their kids?
I met a guy recently who works in commodities. He asked me what I did. He told me that although he doesn't have any kids, my job is his second favourite choice of everything, coming only after being retired. He doesn't have any kids yet, so he hasn't had to make the hard choices about pursuing that dream. But other men have and hearing about a stay-at-home Dad can make other men uncomfortable about the choices they've made.
And all of that is why lots of women are uncomfortable around a stay-at-home Dad.

Our collaborative partnerships with Rogers Communications and Baird have resulted in outstanding annual reports.
Patricia Hennessy, Senior Program Manager at Interbrand Canada, has produced award-winning print and online annual reports in Canada and the U.S. for over 20 years, including Rogers, RBC, Baird and Xerox. In this insightful Q&A, she explains why annual reports should still matter to brand-savvy organizations.
2020欧洲杯体育下注网站An organization's annual report must deliver financial data, communicate messages of inspiration and confidence to stakeholders, and satisfy rules and regulations concerning financial disclosure. Despite the call for comprehensive corporate transparency, focusing in on the brand's financials does not have to be at the expense of creativity. For an organization to produce award-winning reports, Interbrand Canada believes a clear brand is critical to both the process and the story.
Are annual reports still relevant?
2020欧洲杯体育下注网站Annual reports are a must-do for public companies and they also provide the one place where the brand story is told in single document. An annual report explains how the brand is positioned, outlines its values and differentiates it from competitors. An annual report also explains why the company deserves public trust and investment. Private companies are not legally required to produce these reports, but many see it as an avenue for sharing their brand story with key stakeholders and driving investment. From my perspective, being accountable to the public and communicating a clear mission is vital for all brands, regardless of legal requirements.
What's the first step in developing an annual report?
2020欧洲杯体育下注网站Our first step in developing any annual report is to assemble the essential components of a brand's story. This includes: strategic brand positioning, vision, mission, values, personality traits, key messages and measurable performance data. It is important to analyze corporate responsibility and workplace diversity initiatives, as these are clear articulations of not only of what a brand believes, but also how it delivers on its promise. Annual reports provide brands with an opportunity to inspire investor confidence through storytelling. The audience for the report needs to be kept top-of-mind throughout the research and writing process, and, in addition to the basic report requirements, we always strive to identify what matters to stakeholders and build an interesting narrative from there.
How should the visual and verbal elements interact during the development of the report?
As a key brand touchpoint, the annual report needs to be a shining example of the brand story. Our 2020欧洲杯体育下注网站designers strategize with clients to develop creative approaches that leverage the visual features of the brand. Employing verbal identity experts is essential to ensuring the copy follows any existing tone of voice guidelines for the brand. Designers and writers collaborate to ensure a strong theme is reflected throughout the piece, supported by compelling graphics and language. The challenge designers have now is to design a report that stays within a conservative budget, while accurately representing the brand.
Should brands be providing annual reports digitally?
Public companies are required to print a report, but creating digital versions of the report ensures that it is available to anyone who wishes to read it. From the outset, designers must ensure that an annual report is effective in both print and digital formats. In our very connected world, sharing annual reports digitally is a great way to promote a brand's progress and achievements to a broader audience.
Have their been any major changes in the production process over the years?
Yes. Keeping environmental sustainability in mind when producing annual reports is very important these days. Brands are including labeling in their annual reports indicating the use of recycled paper and detailing environmental efficiency in the production process. Taking this extra step also tells stakeholders that your brand is invested in sustainability.
Which part of the process is most enjoyable for you?
I'm always proud that we make challenging projects easier for our clients. I really enjoy the creative process of working closely with the designer—being in rhythm and working together as a team. It's great to be involved in the entire project, from the initial briefing with the client to watching the concepts come to life. Managing the process of the printing and around-the-clock press approvals is worth all of the hard work when we finally present the first printed sample to the client.
How do you know when you've produced a great report?
2020欧洲杯体育下注网站I know we've done a good job when we exceed our client's expectations and they acknowledge that we've gone the extra mile. Countless clients have described working with us as a consistently creative and collaborative partnership. We've worked with leading organizations and public companies across all industry sectors. Most recently, we've won both content and design awards for annual reports as a result of these partnerships.
If your brand is committed to creating an exemplary annual report that inspires investor confidence in your company, we'd love to hear from you.

Dull Soap Opera in 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes'
Rating: 2.0/5.0
CHICAGO – "Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes" just goes to show that you can have the most expensive and best looking visual effects money can buy, but it doesn't mean a damn thing if you haven't got a good tale to tell.
The apes themselves, and Andy Serkis' Caesar in particular, remain technical wonders, but rarely has something so lifelike been in the service of a blockbuster so utterly lifeless. This long, slow-moving, self-important, unrelentingly dark and depressive picture is more butt-buster than blockbuster. Those looking for a good popcorn movie about talking apes are in for a monkey melodrama instead. It treats the family tensions inside the ape clan like Shakespeare, but it's more like a simian soap opera that could have been called "All My Chimps," or perhaps "The Apes Of Our Lives."
Picking up 10 years after the events of the first movie, the human race has nearly been wiped out by the simian flu and all of society has collapsed, but small pockets of survivors are attempting to rebuild something resembling the society they once knew.

At the same time, the apes themselves have built a thriving ape colony in the mountains outside of San Francisco. They are led by Caesar, the talking ape with a high IQ. They live off the land, hunt wild animals, swing from the trees and live in a massive tree house. I don't know if its brave, or just foolhardy but the film begins with nearly 20 minutes of ape grunting as it sets the stage and introduces us to Caesar, his sons, his advisors, the ape code they now live by ("Ape no kill ape") and his loyal but angry lieutenant Koba.
This relative peace is shattered when a scout team of humans (led by Jason Clarke) stumbles upon the apes in the mountains, and in a panic wounds one of them. They're up looking for an elusive power source to keep the lights on inside the rebuilt city. Clarke is a scientist and widower who attempts to make peace with the apes and wants to find a way to work together.
Meanwhile, Gary Oldman is holding down the fort back in the human colony ready to blast those damn dirty apes at the first sign of trouble. Keri Russell, Kirk Acevedo, and Kodi Smit-McPhee fill out the rest of human cast, but its motion-capture maestro Serkis who's the real star as Caesar. The effects are nearly flawless. These digitally created apes actually look to inhabit the same real place as the human actors themselves, and their movements have almost none of the herky-jerky movement that marred earlier computer generated creatures.

The Apes family drama (credited to Mark Bomback, Amanda Silver, and Rick Jaffa) is strictly boilerplate. There's a son out to prove himself after a setback in battle, a life threatening illness, betrayal, a lieutenant who lusts for revenge on humans and other assorted monkey business. None of this is terribly interesting, and when it's largely conveyed to the audience either with ape grunting, or simplistic sentences like "You friend" it's tedious at best, and maddening at worst. Some apes speak English inexplicably even when there are no humans around. The ape drama is only sporadically broken up by big action movie set-pieces. Some apes even get action movie catchphrases. But it's invariably caveman-speak; they make Arnold Schwarzenegger's delivery sound like Patrick Stewart.
"Dawn" subscribes to the default "gritty" reboot formula, but that formula is showing serious signs of wear and tear. It's all just so dreary, dark, and dull. And there's not a shred of levity to break the tension, and far less action than you'd expect from a movie about genetically superior talking apes. This is the kind of movie where a character must tell an injured ape "Try not to speak, you need to rest" and do it with a straight face.

April 20 (~07:30 – ~19:00)
Little Jimmy Campground – after Three Points junction (20.3 mi / Total: 404.2 mi)
Weather: Good hiking weather. It's warm, although on the mountain is a cold wind. At lower elevation it's warm and at times a little overcast. In the evening I walk into the clouds.
I wake up with my shoes right next to me. It's cold and we're camping amongst the snow, and I was afraid to freeze them again, as they were wet with snow from yesterday. I definitely don't want to have another horrible morning squeezing my feet into a pair of icy cold popsicles, so I kept a plastic bag from the supermarket and put them in there, huddling them close to my quilt during the night. It seems to have worked. They are still wet but not cold, certainly not frozen, so putting them back on is not too bad.
While the others wait for me I finish the last morning tasks. I lost the sack for my Kahtoola microspikes, and wonder if I'd left it at the spring a little further back next to the trail yesterday. I have a little browse and luckily find it in the snow nearby – averting a minor disaster. I'm glad I don't have to spend time chasing this. Then it's time to make my daily protein drink. I was drinking a light chocolate flavoured Raw Protein & Greens from Garden of Life, which is amazing, but I've just run out and replaced it with another organic brand, as I couldn't find my old one. I tried it for the first time yesterday, and it was the most disgusting drink I'd ever tasted in my entire life. Today I try again, and prepare a bottle, half protein drink and half chocolate milk powder, to try and dilute the eggy taste. I throw it all together and shake it vigorously. I taste it. It's still disgusting.
When I'm finally ready we follow what's supposed to be a dirt road out of the campsite. I think this is what it is, at least, because we can't see – it's covered in thick, icy snow. We try and get through without putting on our microspikes until we have to give in, this snow isn't going anywhere. We put our spikes on and suddenly we progress down the hill a lot faster.
We reach Islip Saddle / Highway 2 after another small hiking trail, and we walk up to the snow-free parking lot where the trails up Mount Williamson begin. We meet a few other hikers – they bypassed Mt Baden-Powell and hiked around it instead to avoid the snow. I never thought people would consider not doing Baden-Powell, but quite a few people must be skipping the mountains right now. Not everyone is comfortable enough in the snow to tackle these trails. Even the smaller mountain we're about to head up this morning is a cause of concern for hikers, and some people roadwalk around it, fearing it'll be just like Baden-Powell.
I never assumed this climb would be as bad as yesterday, but it doesn't take long for the switchbacks up to be layered with patches of snow. We still manage to follow the trail up, and it's nowhere near as bad as yesterday, when the mountain had simply been obliterated by snow. As I ascend I realise I'm tired from yesterday, which isn't surprising. My body feels lethargic and I quickly fall behind until the others slow down a little.
As we get closer to the high point, the snow disappears again and we marvel over the gorgeous green views of the mountains around us. There's a thick fog stuck in the valley further away, and it's an enchanting sight. We all take our time to take pictures, have a quick break and continue separately to the other side of the mountain, where the switchbacks take us down again.
There doesn't seem to be much snow on this side, and I'm happy to walk alone and be in my own space for some time, and not have think about the others. I continue to take pictures when suddenly the snow is back and I find poor Speedy waiting for me, to check if I want to go down together. I tell her to head down alone – they're just snow chutes across the trail, and nothing actually too dreadful. In fact, I'm so annoyed about the snow, I decide to be stubborn and force my way down without putting my microspikes on – quite a feat as there's a bit of a way to go. But it's okay, the views are grand, the footsteps are deep and I take it slow, step by step.
Once I'm down I cross another highway and follow a short section through a pretty up and downhill, all very rocky with scenic views onto the twirling highway.
Then I'm spat out onto the road once more. There's a trail closure, to protect the habitat of the endangered mountain yellow-legged frog. Instead of hiking a 3.8 section of the trail, I have a 5 mile detour, of which the first 3 miles follow the road. It's scenic and I actually quite like the change, and luckily there seems to be a road closure for cars as well, and I only see some cars headed in the opposite direction. It's great timing, especially as I'm running low on water and find a surprise stream close to the road. I leave my pack and take my bottles to the stream to filter some water. It must be recent snow melt – it tastes amazing. It feels so good to drink water.
After the road walk the alternate follows the Buckhart trail to connect back to the PCT. This is where I find Speedy and Prince again, sitting on top of a table at the trailhead and comparing their feet. I go ahead and feel great. I hike the two mile trail back to the PCT quickly, until it turns into an awkward wide dirt road. Once there, the short but steep ascends are exhausting, and my legs feel heavy. But then it changes again – the PCT is like a scenic rollercoaster today, and now the trail moves through a beautiful forest, my favourite. I love it. I get my energy back with this easy trail, this is turning into a great walk.
Later I see some of the hikers we camped with last night. Apparently they roadwalked around Mt Williamson because they were afraid it was going to be too snowy. I'm happy we didn't let Baden-Powell scare us off. I wouldn't want to roadwalk around sections and realise it wasn't necessary at all.
After a break the trail moves up one last time, and then it's mostly down for the rest of the day. The trail intersects the highway constantly but it's quite an easy walk and I enjoy the simplicity of it. Towards the end of the day I move into a whole new area once again. I walk into a burnt forest and walk right into the cloud we saw this morning from Mt Williamson. Now it's just a few more kilometres in the chill of the evening and I find Speedy and Prince just back at the edge of the cloud, in the sun. I immediately set up my tent.
This morning feels so far away.

Paths of Life
Psalm 25:4 (NKJV) "Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths."
In life, there are many paths that one can follow. Some paths lead to ruin while other paths lead to increase and enhancement. Deciding which path will be the most prosperous for your life is a difficult task, unless you choose to allow the Lord to show you His path of life.
Psalm 16:11 (NKJV) You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Psalm 25:10 (NKJV) All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth, To, such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.
Proverbs 3:6 (NKJV) In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
The Narrow Path that leads to relationship with God is the path of life. By following the commandment to love one another as He loved us, we acknowledge Him, and He directs us onto paths where we find fulfilment, increase, joy, mercy, and truth.
Ending Thoughts
When we choose the Narrow Path, we may encounter a few challenges along the way but ultimately this path leads us into His presence and eternal pleasures forevermore.

How Not to Litigate in Catastrophic Personal Injury Claims - Bill Braithwaite QC, Head of Exchange Chambers
10/02/17. Of course, one strong view is that you shouldn't litigate at all in major personal injury claims – ADR is so much more flexible, and allows the parties to control the process. However, some cases do seem to come to court, and I had a recent court experience – my first for a long time because, although I finalise about £50 million of claims a year, I rarely need to seek the court's help.
Briefly, the claimant had staggered across a suburban road late at night, had paused in the centre of the two lanes he was crossing, apparently to wait for the oncoming car, but had then started off again into the path of the car.
We started with a settlement meeting, at which the defence team didn't seem to expect to have to make an offer, on either liability or quantum. When they did, the offers seemed to us to be ridiculous - we recovered almost three times the percentage they had offered on liability.
Two days after the settlement meeting they increased their offer, and four months later they increased it again.
This was a case very similar to Eagle v Chambers, where the Court of Appeal had changed a finding in favour of a drunk pedestrian from 40% to 60%, saying that a "car can do so much more damage to a person than a person can usually do to a car".
We went to trial, and offered to discuss compromise at the door of the court, but to no avail.
We had an independent witness who was really excellent, and who had a grandstand view of the entire event. The defence was that the driver couldn't have seen the pedestrian because he was not conspicuous, even though their own expert described the road, as seen by the witness, as well lit. Their expert had to concede that he had failed to mention in his report one significant source of lighting, which would have helped the defendant to see the claimant, even though it was relevant – not impressive. He also had to concede that, if the independent witness's account was accurate, the claimant must have been in the road for at least six seconds. As the defendant never saw him until her car hit him, she really was very negligent.
I wonder whether ADR would have stopped this case going to court? It does require willing parties on either side, and I'm not sure that was the case here. It would have saved the insurer an awful lot of money, because we recovered more for the claimant than we would have taken in negotiation – by way of example, if the claim is worth £5 million that's an extra £750,000. Also, it was an old CFA, so we have a 100% uplift on both liability and quantum! And, instead of finalising the whole case before the discount rate changes, they now run the risk that even a modest lump sum would increase by a million pounds if the rate drops.
For litigators, the message is almost always the same; make sure that you have good evidence. So many cases which you read about give the impression that, had the lawyers sorted the evidence out properly, the result would have been different. This demand for evidence permeates all personal injury and clinical negligence litigation – only two weeks ago, as I write, a judge distinctly preferred one obstetrician to another, causing the NHS Trust to lose a seven day case. The judge said about the defence expert: "I am afraid that I found Mr Howe's complete disavowal of the appropriateness of having any regard to the fetal head circumference when considering the ventricle width, to lack rational foundation….". In clinical negligence terms that is the ultimate criticism.
I can't say that we should avoid trial at all costs, because this is an example where being forced to fight has produced a wonderful result on our side. It is the exception, though, and it doesn't make me want to change my methods – it's so much better to control the process, and guarantee the result.

Will Brian make the Atomic Kitten star Whole Again?
When it comes to rocky relationships, Kerry Katona and Brian McFadden are one couple who have struggled to keep things amicable – even for the sake of their two children.
READ MORE: Kerry Katona opens up about 'complicated' love life as she introduces This Morning viewers to long-lost brother Jason
'I'll be going down to watch my ex-hubby Brian McFadden on DOI this year' said Kerry, 38. 'Brian sent me a video of one of his skating routines and I was really impressed! That man has no fear. [Their daughter] Lily's been on the ice with him – and she was impressed. I think he'll do really well.'
But six years ago Kerry, who also
has daughter Molly, 17, with Brian, wasn't so keen to shower him with praise.
'What p***es me off is that when he does fall in love, the kids come second' explained Kerry. 'And that's why I think he's a w****r. It's not because he's in love – everyone deserves to be happy – it's because he doesn't see the kids as much as I'd like.'
A lot has happened since Kerry made her damning comments. Brian's marriage
to Irish model Vogue Williams
ended in 2017 and it's been 12 months since the former Atomic Kitten singer
got herself out
of bankruptcy.
Brian even confessed in an interview last month how his daughters are his 'financial priority'. He vowed to ensure 'they have enough money to buy a home when they're older.'
And she's already praising Brian's new girlfriend Danielle Parkinson. Kerry hit back at news that his DOI co-star Gemma Collins fancied
him. She warned, 'Sorry
Gem, but he's got a brilliant girlfriend, called Danielle,
back home – the best he's ever had, bar me!…if I was too loud for Brian, I dread to think what he makes of her!'
We can only hope that DOI becomes the perfect ice-breaker for them…

Intro Woocommerce Cache
Don't you Just despise slow websites? Well, you're certainly not alone. your visitors hate them too– and, to make matters worse, so does Google. That is correct, if you'd like your website to rank highly in search engines, sell more products, generate more prospects, earn more revenue, or just deliver a more positive user experience, it must load fast. Woocommerce Cache
click here to begin using WP Rocket now!
So how Can you make your WordPress site faster? Well, if you're still using a generic shared hosting company, among the most effective options will, naturally, be to just switch to a greater performance web host. However, what if you just have not got the money or time to make the switch?
Well, Luckily, there is something else you can do that's extremely quick and easy — something that needs next-to-no technical know-how whatsoever! I am talking, of course, about using a caching plugin.
Today, I'll be taking an comprehensive look at a few of the primary caching plugins around. WP Rocket. In the following review, I'll show you by just how much — and how readily — it can accelerate your site (using real-life tests and actual data).
What is WordPress Caching?
Caching Involves generating — and saving — a ready-made static (i.e. unchanging) version of your website on your own server ready to show to visitors at a minute's notice. This decreases the demand for your website (and/or the consumer's browsers) to communicate back and forth with the server to assemble the behind-the-scenes information that creates your site's web pages.
With less Communication happening between servers, and less information being loaded whenever your site is obtained, the time it takes to load your posts and pages is considerably reduced.
WP Rocket Will possibly.
· Cache all of the articles and pages on your site
· Allow browser caching
· Defer loading of JavaScript documents
· Decrease bandwidth usage with gzip compression
· optimise Google fonts
· minify and concatenate CSS and JS files
· Defer loading of pictures.
You might Be wondering what happens if you publish a new blog post on a cached website, because, paradoxically, an unchanging cached version of your site would not take this newly created data into consideration.
Not so! WP Rocket will regenerate the cached parts of your site each time you update your articles, thereby ensuring that your visitors will always see the most up-to-date version of your website.
Characteristics of WP Rocket
It's worth Pointing out that, when it comes to features independently, WP Rocket contrasts fairly Favorably using its competitors. Granted, you are probably more interested in how much faster your website will be after installing WP Rocket (and rightfully so), but it is nice to know you're not overlooking some significant features.
With WP Rocket, you receive page caching, cache preloading, gzip compression, browser caching, Google Fonts optimisation, image and movie Lazy Load, minification, and a whole lot more.
If you do Choose to explore the additional settings and choices WP Rocket supplies, you'll see it's a couple of tricks up its sleeve to get possibly improving speed much further, such as the option to simply load media files (such as images) when the visitor reaches them onto a page (a feature known as Lazy Loading).
One of The highlights of WP Rocket is the easy installation process, which makes it a pretty much fool proof caching option for active WordPress webmasters. It's called being'childishly simple to set up' — something users who only need to get the work done and move on will almost surely appreciate. Woocommerce Cache
click here to get started with WP Rocket now!
Actually, Once the plugin was uploaded and activated on your website, the cache will be automatically generated when someone visits the site. Everybody visiting your site thereafter should immediately begin experiencing significantly faster loading times. Simple!
WP Rocket Aims to eliminate all such confusion by being mechanically up-and-running right out of the box — without being overly stiff that it's not able to deliver great results. After tripping WP Rocket, you'll see only a couple of tabs on the admin panel, each with only a few easy-to-understand settings.
You can See the rest of the basic settings screen here. While there are a couple more options to utilize, the plugin works just fine without any of them empowered. This really is plug'n' play with caching for WordPress!
Of Course, it's recommended that you browse the online documentation to really determine what this plugin can do and how much additional performance you can squeeze from it, however, for those in a hurry (or using zero technical curiosity from the ins-and-outs of caching), it's safe to say that speeding up your site with WP Rocket could not be made easier.
The main Selling point of WP Rocket is how simple it makes allowing caching on your site. With many other caching plugins, you are confronted with the sometimes daunting task of knowing — and filling out — multiple pages of settings and options. Based on how you configure them, you could easily end up accidentally doing something somewhat screwy (and even, in rare cases, inadvertently breaking up your website ).
WP Rocket Can be compatible with content delivery network (CDN) services. if your website is big enough to warrant distributing its files to multiple servers across the world for quicker loading times, you will find WP Rocket over accommodating.
Custom Made CACHE LIFESPAN
There is In addition, the choice to alter the default cache expiry interval. But, unless you're displaying particularly fast-changing or important external dynamic content on your own website (such as critical content from social networking feeds), the default option 24-hour lifespan should be OK.
Cache — Basic Cache Options
The Cache tab lets you control How your page caching works at a fundamental level. You can. Woocommerce Cache
· Include/exclude mobile users from viewing cached pages.
· Include/exclude logged-in users from visiting cached pages.
· Enable caching on HTTPS pages.
· Choose how long a webpage remains cached before the cache gets cleared (the default is 10 hours).
The Majority of the time, you can Leave these as the defaults.
Media — Lazy loading + More
From the Media tab, then you can empower Lazy loading for videos or images, as well as disable WordPress emojis and embeds.
1 feature That is really nice here's your option to replace YouTube movie frames using a static preview image. If you embed lots of YouTube videos on your site, this is a great way to speed up your site without sacrificing much, if anyusability.
Document Optimization — Minification Along With Concatenation
The File Optimization tab is Where you can set up WP Rocket's minification and concatenation functionality.
· Minification — shrinks the size of your site's code by removing unnecessary characters (like whitespace) without changing any functionality.
· Concatenation — reduces the amount of documents on your website by blending multiple CSS/JS documents into one.
You can also set up some other Settings such as.
· Remove render-blocking CSS/JS (PageSpeed Insights is notorious for yelling at you concerning this issue).
· Combining Google Fonts files (helpful if you use multiple Google Fonts in your own site).
· Eliminate query strings out of static sources (this one won't have a big effect, but it can improve your GTmetrix score, should you really care about that).
I urge Enabling as many of these configurations as possible. I say as possible because some of the configurations for CSS or JS may cause difficulties with your website (this isn't WP Rocket's fault — it is almost always a possible problem with minification/concatenation).
What I enjoy is that WP Rocket Makes this clear when you go to activate one of those settings.
Three cheers for great UX Design!
Preload — Preload Your Cache File
Without Preloading, your site only"builds" the cache for a page when someone actually visits the webpage. That means the very first visitor after the cache lifespan expires does not see the cached version (because the cache hasn't been constructed yet).
Cache Preloading enables you to ensure all visitors view the quick-loading cached page by"warming" yourself, instead of waiting for someone to visit the page.
One of those Benefits of all WP Rocket is that it provides you two different ways to preload your cache, whereas some caching plugins don't even provide one.
· Sitemap preloading — preloads your cache based on each of the pages in your sitemap.xml file. It's low impact, however the drawback is that it doesn't cache newly edited or published posts.
· Preload bot — mechanically crawls URLs once you publish/edit a post to make sure that newly edited/published content can be preloaded. The only disadvantage is that it is a bit more resource intensive, which might cause issues on"weak" servers. Woocommerce Cache
You Can Opt to utilize anti virus, One, or the two methods to preload your cache, depending upon your needs.
Database — Clean Up Your Database
As your site ages, your Database will pick up all types of"gunk" from the kind of revisions, trashed opinions, transients, etc..
This area helps you wash out All that unnecessary crap from the database with a single click.
Personally, I find this to be The least exciting region of WP Rocket because there are loads of free plugins which do a great job cleaning your database. However, I guess the main advantage here is that WP Rocket eliminates the requirement for you to put in another plugin.
CDN — Integrate With Your CDN
Should you use a CDN to speed up The worldwide delivery of your website, WP Rocket can help you.
· Rewrite your URLs to use your CDN
· Exclude certain files from your CDN
While you can Discover free Plugins to do the first part, the next part, plus the fact which you can reserve CNAMEs for particular file types gives you more flexibility than many of those free choices.
By Way of Example, you may use one CNAME to your pictures, and yet another for the rest of your documents.
If you are using Cloudflare, WP Rocket also includes a dedicated Cloudflare add-on which could help you to get setup using Cloudflare and control certain aspects of the Cloudflare service right from the WP Rocket interface.
And that pretty much sums up The brand new WP Rocket 3.0 interface!
Through The plugin settings, you could also enable caching for both mobile users and logged-in users all with a simple click. After moving to the'advanced' tab, however, things begin to get a little more complex.
To give you even greater control over how caching Functions on your site, you're also free to exclude pages from the cache with the addition of their URLS into the'not cache the following pages'
Through The CDN tab, you can configure the plugin to work with your content delivery network of choice, whereas the tools section gives you fast access to the very clear and preload cache buttons.
What's? More, should you get stuck, the FAQ and support tabs make it exceptionally simple to get into the online instruction, and even open a service ticket from inside your WordPress dashboard — a beautiful touch!
Overall, WP Rocket intends to be all things to all people. On one hand, it's very easy to set up and begin using on your site with default settings that actually create good results, nevertheless, on the other hand, there is also a much large selection of configurations and options to cater to more advanced users with specific needs, or people who need more control over how caching works on their site.
By Default, every time you print a new post or add new content to your website, WP Rocket will regenerate that part of this cache. Furthermore, it will also refresh the related parts of the cache (including the archive pages( menus, or widgets). Woocommerce Cache
If You have to refresh everything in the cache, though (not just recently updated or altered content), it is possible to force WP Rocket to regenerate it from scratch. Going a step further, you'll also find options to have unrelated parts of your site automatically regenerated when a new post, page, merchandise, remark, or another type of content has added.
field. (Note. Shopping cart and checkout pages are automatically excluded from the cache as part of their eCommerce service of WP Rocket.)
Documentation And Support
Even though Using WP Rocket out of the box is quite straightforward, should you get stuck or need to know more of the ins and outs of how it functions, there is quite a little high tech documentation provided — including a getting started section, various tutorials, useful FAQs and a convenient troubleshooting section.
As long As your license remains active, you can even open tickets with support to receive whatever WP Rocket-related help you need?
My WP Rocket Testing Results
As Mentioned at the peak of this guide, I had great results from using WP Rocket to cache my WordPress website. By analyzing the speed of my website with GTmetrix — using the default settings of WP Rocket and simply uploading and activating the plugin before generating the cache and running the tests — the average page loading times dropped from 2.2 minutes to 0.9.
The site I tested the plugin was a WordPress blog with the free Twenty Twelve motif, with about 80 articles and 37 plugins. The website is hosted on an entry level shared hosting plan from HostGator, and has no CDN in play.
No two WordPress sites are the same, though, so these results might not be common for many sites. They do, however, show that even a very fundamental WordPress blog on the cheapest hosting will almost certainly have the ability to achieve significantly improved load times together with the plugin.
Other Methods to Accelerate Your WordPress Website
Whether You decide to use WP Rocket on your site or not, there are a number of different means to accelerate your WordPress site that is well worth mentioning, such as.
· Deactivating all redundant plugins (many plugins will considerably slow down your website )
· Assessing and optimising all images
· Employing a CDN support
· Updating into a WordPress-specific high-performance hosting company, for example WP Engine or Flywheel (if your budget permits ).
All of These are well worth trying if you haven't already.
WP Rocket Pricing
With Prices beginning at just $39 to be used on one WordPress website, WP Rocket is an affordable option for many. Additionally, there are some other strong free selections available — for example WP Super Cache, and, for the technically minded, W3 Total Cache (to name but two of many). If you're looking for something that's exceptionally easy to prepare and use, however, and also provides access to an extremely beneficial premium service desk, then WP Rocket is a powerful contender.
The full Pricing options are as follows. Woocommerce Cache
· Personal. $39 (1 sites)
· Company. $99 (3 sites)
· Pro. $199 (unlimited sites)
All Options include a year's access to plugin upgrades and support. Following this period, you can continue using the plugin or renew your permit to maintain access. There's also a 30-day refund available in case you are not completely satisfied with the plugin after purchase.
WP Rocket Is really quite impressive. Not only is it extremely simple to use, in addition, it provides great results.
Most of The activities you can carry out to optimise the speed of your site take substantial time and effort — if that is optimising media documents, reviewing and consolidating your plugins, migrating to a different web host or altering themes. WP Rocket, on the other hand, can be applied to your website in only a couple clicks.
What's? More, if you're a WordPress freelancer, if helping customers with their present sites or creating websites from scratch, then having something such as WP Rocket on your toolkit could be of huge benefit. In just a few minutes, you will have the ability to speed up a customer's website and provide them concrete results (in the form of'before and after' online rates tests), and, when the very best way to separate yourself from your competition is to offer more value to the client, things like this can really help.
As a Data-backed article over on Moz puts it. "Fast websites have more visitors, who see more pages for longer periods of time, who come back more frequently, and are generally more likely to purchase products or click advertisements."
Due to Its quick setup process, speeding up your website using WP Rocket is an easy triumph in the war against slow load times.

What is Addiction
For many people, having a drink and placing a bet is harmless fun; but some find that their whole existence has been taken over by drinking or gambling or drugs or something else. When a habit controls your life and you feel powerless to stop the chaos then it is very likely that you are suffering from an active addiction.
Addiction affects people from every level of society. Almost all of us know people who have an addiction or dependency problem.
There is so much pressure in life today, from other people's expectations and our own high standards. The more we push ourselves to meet the demands, the more we may feel the need for some sort of release. Alcohol or another drug or some other compulsive behaviour brings a relief we long for again and again. And each time we need a little more to meet the same psychological and physical need; and in the end we are hooked.
People who are successful and admired at work or in the community or by their family can be very vulnerable to a sense of pressure and the need for escape which can lead to addiction. But their status and sometimes their high profile makes it very hard for them to admit their need for help and to accept support. They may see traditional treatment programmes as inaccessible, too expensive and carrying too much risk of exposure.
Addiction is an illness – a progressive disease with the craving for substances and behaviours growing more and more. Addicts cannot control the longing for the stimulation or the numbing that seems to save them from being overwhelmed by everything else in life. They cling on to the comfort of their escape and will deny its power over them. Often against their normal character, they become deceitful and dishonest to hide their problem from others and to finance their need for a substance or an activity.
And so they put at risk everything which they hold dear: partners, family, friends, health, job and self-respect.
How we can help?
A confidential phone call to Addictions North East can be the first step in breaking the cycle of addiction and finding a personal programme for restoring normal life.
Take a look at some of the services we offer.
Likewise people who suffer from mild mental illness will recognise that their problems can have an impact on their friends and families.
Addictions North East can offer support to the family of the people they are working with. It is critical that people close to the addict do not hinder the recovery of their loved one. The recognition that carers are powerless sometimes needs to be taken into consideration. They often need a great amount of support and coaching.
Friends and families are encouraged to attend support groups, depending on their beliefs and circumstances.

MUSCATINE, Iowa-- Candidates and residents in Muscatine say things have gotten personal this election cycle. They say there are a few people taking away their voice in who they support for elections, and they want it to stop.
In Muscatine, campaign signs have been lining the streets for months. But on 5th Street they're starting to disappear.
"I was angry," says resident Ann Brumback.
It happened to her.
"I came to the house to the front, and all my signs were gone, and I looked across the street, and those signs were gone," said Brumback. "It was like it went all the way up this block."
Sign stealing has become such an issue, now the police are involved. One report was filed by a candidate who saw her signs missing by the dozens.
To Brumback, it's not just a sign, it's an American right.
"It makes me angry that people would basically take away my choice for who I would support. When you support a candidate and someone supports the opposite candidate, that's okay. You don't have to agree with them be be respectful," says Brumback.
She says the sign thief out there won't win. She's getting all three of her stolen signs replaced so she can keep showing her support up until Election Day.

Setting motivating goals and targets is not as easy as it seems. Often what seems like the right thing to do ends up actually demotivating the team. Here are some solutions to common pitfalls:
Copying corporate targets?
Sometimes targets are assigned because they are corporate or organisational targets, with no thought as to whether the target is achievable. If the corporate target is unavoidable, select an achievable improvement target as an interim step. The quickest way to demotivate a team is to highlight how far short of the corporate target their current performance is.
Target too easy?
If your team's performance meets or exceeds the target every month, you may have set too easy a target. Remember improvement is the name of the game. If your team is already at the required standard, consider moving the target. Or, alternatively measure something else that needs improving.
Target date too soon?
Often teams aim for too rapid an improvement. It's almost seems that once they've written it down, an improved performance will magically occur. Problem solving can be a tricky and time-consuming business. Be realistic about the amount of time your team can spend on solving the problems to improve their performance. Agree a more realistic target date.
No target date ?
It is often said that a goal without a date is just a dream, but but in reality it is more like a nightmare. There is recognition that something needs to be improved but without the drive and commitment to achieve it. A target date is crucial to provide momentum and a focus for commitment to the goal.
Plucking a target out of thin air?
The improvement target should not just be plucked out of the air. Best practice teams know what performance level they are starting from and their expected rate of improvement. They will also have identified specific improvements and know how much each implementation will take them towards their target.
"Be careful what you wish for…….".
Performance targets drive people's behaviour, (after all that's why we set them!). So ensure that the targets you set drive the right type of behaviours in your team. Think about alignment to your company, and /or team values, and look out for possible unintended and detrimental consequences of your goals.
Carefully selected goals and targets play a key role in motivating, aligning and focusing your team. If you need help in this or any other area of continuous improvement, contact us at CDI London.

This ally is a real god-send for mono-sphere decks, especially those lacking in the defense departments like some Spirit or Leadership decks. Not only can it quest (perhaps with a little help from Visionary Leadership) or defend, but it can also eat an undefended attack (or two), letting us putting to better use our heroes/allies actions in the combat phase. I would always try to include it in a mono-sphere deck (and it can also find space in some Song two-spheres deck I guess)
White Tower Watchman
Ally. Cost: 3. 1 0 2 3
If each hero you control belongs to the same sphere of influence, you may assign damage from undefended enemy attacks to White Tower Watchman instead of a hero you control.

Guys, it's the middle of the fucking night. My 24 year old daughter just woke me up (we live together) crying that her very drunk boyfriend tried to hit her. I had to wake his passed out ass up and remove him from my home. My daughter is drunk too and worried about him. He's wasted, curled up in the fetal position crying in my yard. And I have to leave for work in 5 hours.
I won't respond, because I need my sleep, but please let the Gods help me!
ETA: Everything is quiet on the home front! Thank you all for your love and advice!
So, this morning I left for work early, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I guess I should have looked closer. This kid trashed our backyard, and then apparently slept in my daughter's car. Trashed the inside of the car, too.
Later, I found out from a close neighbor that there were cops at my daughter's car at 4am, about two hours after our last interaction. I can only guess that another neighbor called about a passed out person on the sidewalk.
On the positive side, my daughter is not seeing him again. She is doing a little "But what if?" But realizes that this is a huge red flag and it's time to ditch this asswipe.
Thanks again GT! You guys are the best!

Edward Richard Taylor founded the Ruskin Pottery in 1898 and named the studio after the artist, writer and social thinker John Ruskin who the Taylor's believed in his principles about beauty and quality. The pottery was situated at 173-174 Oldbury Road, Smethwick, Sandwell, West Midlands and managed by Edward's son, William Howson Taylor who employed a skilled and dedicated workforce.
What was original and outstandingly good was the combination of glaze effects and elegance of form achieved by William Howson Taylor and his staff. Taylor was one of a number of European potters who were determined to discover and further develop the secrets of the high-fired flambé glaze, as perfected by the Chinese in the eighteenth century. He succeeded and went on to further develop the range of colours and glaze effects available to him, to such good effect that few have ever equalled his achievements.
