Army Sergeant Chuck Hagel knew how to toss a hand grenade when he served in Vietnam in 1968. Friday he made clear he still knows how to do it, declining to attend the White House nomination announcement of his successor, Ashton Carter, after the Administration had let it be known he'd be there.
It's the latest in a string of snafus that has marred the transition between President Obama's third and fourth Defense secretaries.
In a nation engaged in combat in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, such theatrics might be viewed by outsiders as mere distraction. But inside the Pentagon—and in ruling circles around the world—such drama is often seen as a national-security team fumbling the ball. If they can't handle a handoff, the thinking goes, how can they run a war?
Perhaps Hagel felt that putting him on stage Friday alongside the President and Carter would only have highlighted the problem. Pentagon officials said Hagel didn't want to shift attention from Carter's debut alongside the President.
But the President dragged Hagel into the announcement, anyway. "A year ago, when Ash Carter completed his tenure as deputy secretary of defense, Secretary Hagel took to the podium in Ash's farewell ceremony and looked out at the audience of our civilian and military leaders, and he said, 'I've known Ash Carter for many years. All of us here today have benefited from Ash's hard work, his friendship, from his inspiration, from his leadership.' And Chuck then went on to express his gratitude to his partner for 'what Ash has done for this country and will continue to do in many ways.'"
"Couldn't have said it better myself," Obama added.
Hagel actually may have turned gun shy following his Thursday press conference at the Pentagon, where he rolled out the Defense Department's latest sexual-assault report. After working for a year to reduce sexual assaults in the military—and actually having some good news to share on the subject—reporters only asked him about his impending departure, and the reasons for it.
Both Hagel and Obama have stressed that each felt it was simply time for a change. But White House officials made clear they were unhappy with his performance, which has driven Hagel loyalists bonkers. "This was a mutual decision based on the discussions that we had," Hagel said Thursday of their discussions. "I don't think there's ever one overriding or defining decision in situations like this, unless there's some obvious issue, and there wasn't between either one of us."
Yet Hagel put Obama in a tough spot by submitting his resignation Nov. 24, as soon as it became clear he had lost the President's confidence. That put the White House in the awkward spot of hailing Hagel's impending departure amid wartime without his replacement standing alongside.
So perhaps it was only fitting 11 days later—after background investigations into Carter finally wrapped up—that Hagel was the missing man this time around.

Now, more than ever…
November 25, 2021
is the time to give thanks. However you plan on spending this holiday, do so carefully. Happy Thanksgiving.

Just Right
November 18, 2021
Even with all the working from home lately, there comes an occasion where you might have to run into the office or meet with a colleague over coffee to review a matter or two. It might be necessary to bring a file, a contract for review or a handful of tear sheets…enough, but not enough to warrant lugging around your brief case or backpack. To the rescue…this simple modern zippered envelope by Pendaflex. Constructed of charcoal industrial felt with black faux leather detailing and a full zipper, this envelope is just what you need to keep things light while still being roomy enough, at 11″ x 14″ x 1 1/8″, to protect a few files, a note pad and your tablet. And, looking modern and professional to boot. It's unbelievable to me that I found this at the grocery store for under ten bucks.
Better Get On It
November 13, 2021
With all of the talk about supply chain and shipping issues, now might just be the perfect time to get that Christmas shopping out of the way. Taking advantage of all of your online options will not only get the job done, there will be no standing in line waiting for the next cashier available to assist you. Early Black Friday pricing and free shipping only sweeten the deal. I gathered here a few of my simplequietmodern favorites for this season. So, pull out that credit card, mix yourself a festive cocktail, put your feet up and start shopping.
Top to bottom:
If a simple Brandy Stinger on the Rocks doesn't put you in the Christmas shopping mood…what will?
A simplequietmodern favorite is the Heath Ceramics Tall Modern Cup. In the 2021 Winter Seasonal collection it's offered in Red Plum and Currant. When it's not full of coffee, chai or hot chocolate, there isn't a better container for a handful of seasonal blooms. photo: https://www.heathceramics.com/collections/heath-holiday
Perfect for anyone still bingeing the weekend away watching Netflix, a gorgeous velvet pillow from Knoll Textiles to get cozy with. This one is in Arezzo in colorway: Dolce. Photo: https://www.knoll.com/product/pillows-by-knolltextiles-shop?p=TP-K14421_1218
What's not to love about a Baroque pearl? Even better in this modern treatment…a simple gold filled ball chain threaded through a large hole by Ana Mari Ortega. And, if you're feeling it, go with two to be worn together or threading both chains through both pearls. Photo: https://www.anamariortega.com/collections/fun-jewelry-necklaces
If you have the time, snagging a couple of skeins of Purl Soho's Cashmere Tend and whipping up a luxurious scarf may be just the ticket for someone on your list. Or, gift the yarn itself and let them create their own. Added bonus, the Merino wool, Cashmere and nylon blend is washable and available in 18 colors.

No one does a fragrance candle like Diptyque Paris. This limited edition Sapin captures just what this holiday season needs…Pine and a hint of wood smoke. Perfect. photo: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/diptyque-sapin-candle-limited-edition
Also from Heath Ceramics Winter Seasonal Collection is this square tray in Chili. Add a few homemade Bourbon Balls to gild the lily. Photo: https://www.heathceramics.com/collections/heath-holiday Recipe for the Bourbon Balls, https://simplequietmodern.com/?s=bourbon+balls
People are definitely ready to celebrate the season…I've already seen lights glowing and tree lots stocked and open for business. I personally know the holidays have kicked in when I see these mixed evergreen wreaths available and my Trader Joes. You might pick up a few and surprise some friends, family or neighbors. The last year hasn't been kind to any of us so that simple act of beauty might just make someone's day. Photo: gp
If someone on your list just loves a crispy fried egg… either on a burger, topping a salad or to start the day … this is the gift for them. From Lodge Cast Iron, a 6.5″ seasoned cast iron skillet. Photo: https://www.lodgecastiron.com/product/round-cast-iron-classic-skillet?sku=L3SK3 Eggs photo: gp
I couldn't leave out the classic Bud Vase, again from Heath Ceramics Winter Seasonal Collection, in Cranberry. A few twigs of Tallow berry and you've got a simple holiday statement that will take your through to the New Year.

They say…
November 8, 2021
that the best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago.* The second best time is today. So that's exactly what's happening here, to fill in some of the gaps left by last Summer's surprise twister. A couple of Eastern White Pine will do nicely…fast growing and fragrant with the added bonus of lovely cones and pine straw. And, to whoever occupies this property in the years to come? You're welcome.

UL Lafayette's library secures grant public library declined due to partisan concerns
The library at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette has secured a grant that the public library rejected last month, which would have paid for books and speakers about the history of voting rights.
The Lafayette Public Library Board of Control voted to reject a grant from the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities that offered $2,700 to buy books and facilitate discussion due to concerns the subject was too political and the speakers, who included UL Assistant Professor of History Theodore Foster, were too partisan.
The Edith Garland Dupré Library applied for and secured the LEH grant, university President Joseph Savoie announced Thursday. In his statement Savoie encouraged participation in "this timely and important community discussion" and defended Foster, whose objectivity had been questioned by a library board member.
"Dr. Foster is a dynamic and thoughtful scholar of Black life, culture and politics in our nation," Savoie said. "That he is qualified to facilitate this discussion and provide context to it is without question. The University encourages faculty members to lend their knowledge to community dialogue.
"Like his colleagues, Dr. Foster maintains a high standard of professionalism and balance in his teaching and public intellectual contributions based on his scholarly expertise."
Foster teaches African-American history, civil rights memory and Black studies, according to the UL Lafayette Department of History, Geography and Philosophy faculty page.
The university statement did not provide details regarding the library discussions to come from this grant, which are to be announced "in the coming days."
- Lafayette library board appoints temporary interim director in tense special meeting
- Louisiana's ACLU condemns Lafayette library board while LCG defends Guillory's role
- Push to present 'both sides' of Black voting rights prompts Lafayette library director's resignation
Library board President Doug Palombo argued in a statement Monday that library Director Teresa Elberson disregarded a directive from the board to secure two speakers opposed to the program's examination of the history of voting rights, though the board's minutes do not reflect a consensus directive to do so, instead showing just that one member had suggested getting speakers "from opposing sides."
Elberson retired abruptly last week after the grant was rejected. This left the library without someone who had the power to sign agreements and issue payments to vendors, so the board met Wednesday to find a temporary replacement as they launch a search for a new director that will likely take months.
Savoie said university researchers' "engagement over the past year, and in every year, is not defined by political motives."
"Rather, it is driven by an intense desire to do what scholars do – remedy confusion with clarity, counter intransigence with intellect, and offer fact in response to fiction," Savoie said. "That's a scholar's job. It's a higher calling, one that Dr. Foster and faculty across campus answer every day – and I am proud of them for it."

My sign of a good movie is that you want to pee but forget all about it because you are so engrossed in the movie that before you know it the movie is over and you had forgotten about your bladder. The Matrix and The Shawshank Redemption are two movies where this happened to me. But, in case you really gotta go:
Ever been at the movies and wanted to pee but didn't want to miss anything? This app is for you!
The RunPee app is surprisingly easy to use. When the app starts it shows you a list of movies. New movies are added each week on opening day, or earlier. Each movie has a list of carefully selected Pee times. We try to find 3-5 minute long scenes that don't have crucial plot twists, or LOL moments, or exciting action.
The Timer is our ace in the hole. You start it when the movie begins and it will vibrate before each Peetime. Now you can sit back, enjoy the movie and never wonder again, "Is this a good time to go?…Maybe now…Okay, now?…"

This is going to be very long (first rationale, then step-by-step instructions). I think it's going to be worth it, but we'll see.
Ask just about any math teacher and they'll tell you that humans don't have a very good intuitive sense of exponential growth (e.g., see the response to the pandemic). Humans are pretty linear thinkers, which makes sense, because most of human life throughout history has operated on a linear scale. We're pretty good at looking for patterns in data (often to the point of finding patterns where they don't exist), but then we like to just sketch a best-fit line and be done with it.
For me, this is also one of the biggest obstacles in financial literacy and personal finance. Humans just aren't that great at looking very far ahead and, on the somewhat rare occasions they do, they tend to extrapolate linearly from the present (or simply assume the future will be essentially the same as the present). Unfortunately, this makes the true power of compounding practically invisible to most people which, in turn, causes them to dismiss the impact that even small changes in the present can have on the future.
Pretty much every financial writer, blogger and presenter tries to illustrate compounding in some way or another that will finally "grab" their audience in a way that brings it home. I've seen many great examples and, while I'm sure they all had an impact on some folks, I still feel like they miss the mark for the majority of people. It's not the fault of the example so much as the utter "foreignness" of exponential growth that impedes it really resonating and sticking with the audience.
For a class I'm teaching about personal finance for educators, I have multiple examples in different contexts to try to illustrate the power of compounding on their finances. I think each individual example is pretty good, and it does indeed reach some of my learners, but overall I feel like it's still not hitting the mark the way I would like it to. I've been reading The Norm Chronicles, and it got me thinking (again) about how I might be able to present the information in another way that might be more effective. How can I get folks to see the impact of compounding without them really having to think about compounding?
The following is still very imperfect, is a bit too complex for some folks to follow, and I know it will miss the mark again, but I'm hopeful I'm getting closer. I would love feedback and suggestions about how I might be able to make it better.
This activity is attempting to illustrate the effect of small changes in spending on a person's future retirement prospects, in a very concrete way that not only makes sense, but really resonates with the audience and hopefully results in action on their part. Note that, as always, personal finance is "personal", and everyone has to find their own balance between living the life they want to live today and planning so that they can live the life they hope to have in the future.
The process appears lengthy, but isn't quite as long as it looks on "paper". I'd like to make it simpler, but haven't found a way to do that (yet). My hope is that folks will stick with it if they know (or hope) it's worth it in the end. There are basically three parts:
- Input your current income and expenses in both an online calculator and a spreadsheet. (You can also optionally enter a current balance in your investment accounts, an expected rate of return, and an expected safe withdrawal rate if you wish to customize even more.)
- Think about your current spending, identify a few items that you can cut back on on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or one-time basis, and enter them in the spreadsheet.
- Use the spreadsheet and online calculator together to illustrate how many days/years earlier you can retire (or at least reach a "work optional" stage) based on each item individually, as well as all the items collectively.
In other words, enter a few items you can cut and, voilà, it spits out that you can retire X number of days (or years) earlier1. People can then shorthand it by saying, "Cutting out this spending will get me X number of DEs (or YEs)," with "DE" standing for "Days Earlier" and "YE" standing for "Years Earlier." Hopefully it's concrete, to the point, and actionable.
Here are the steps/directions. Again, these are too complex, but actually not all that difficult to do. I would love ideas on ways to make it less complex.
|Open When Can I Retire Calculator in a new tab or window. Side by side windows might be easiest so that you can see these instructions at the same time.
|Enter current annual income on the first line (defaults to $60,000)
|Enter current annual expenses (including taxes) on the third line (defaults to $50,000)2
|It will calculate line 2 (current annual savings) and line 4 (current savings rate) for you
|Enter current portfolio value (current balance in your investments) if you wish on the fifth line (defaults to $0)
|Click "show more options" (if they are not already showing)
|Enter annual assumed return on investment on the sixth line (defaults to 6%)
|Enter (safe) withdrawal rate on the seventh line if you wish (defaults to 4%)
|Click "Crunch the numbers"
|Write down the "you can retire in" number of years.
|Leave open the When Can I Retire Calculator tab/window and then open Days Earlier Calculator Spreadsheet. It will force you to make a copy (so that you can edit it). Again, having these instructions, the calculator, and the spreadsheet in separate tabs/windows is probably helpful.
|Enter the same current annual income as you did in step 2 in cell B1 (default $60,000)
|Enter the same current annual expenses as you did in step 3 (including taxes) in cell B2 (default $50,000)
|Enter the same assumed rate of return as you did in step 7 in cell B3 (default 6%)
|Enter the "you can retire in" years number from step 10 above in cell B4 (default 37.50)
|This is the most important step, as it is where you can enter in specific spending changes you may be able to make and, by the end of this activity, see what the effect of those are in terms of how much earlier you can retire.
Add to, modify, or delete any of the entries in Items (cells A11-A47), Type (cells B11-B47), and Amount (cells C11-C47). The ones that are there are just examples to give you ideas, please remove any that don't apply, modify any that do but your amount is different, and add any additional ones that do apply to you.
*Make sure for the frequency you choose is how often you pay for the item, not how often you do it. For example, while you may work out daily, the amount you pay for a gym membership is probably monthly, so choose monthly in the drop down.
*Note that any one-time savings are prorated over the entire initial years to retirement, which underestimates its impact.
|Once you've finished with step 16, write down the Updated Annual Expenses from cell B7 (default $41,301)
|Return to your already open When Can I Retire Calculator tab or window (leaving your spreadsheet tab or window open)
|Enter the Updated Annual Expenses from step 17 above (cell B7) on the third line (replacing the original amount you entered in step 3)
|Click "Crunch the numbers"
|Write down the new "you can retire in" number of years.
|Leave open the When Can I Retire Tab/Window in case you want to go back to make adjustments, then return to your already open Days Earlier Calculator Spreadsheet.
|Enter the new "you can retire in" number (from step 21 above) in cell B5 (Updated Years to Retirement)
|For each item in the savings table, look at columns G (Days Earlier) and H (Years Earlier) to see how many days/years earlier each change can allow you to retire.
|Ponder and reflect :-), then make a plan.
So, for example, with the defaults (no changes) cutting out a daily gourmet coffee (row 12) will allow you to retire 691 days (or 1.89 years) earlier. One could say, "Cutting out my daily gourmet coffee purchase will get me 691 DEs." All of the default changes would allow you to retire 12.9 years earlier ("All of these changes would get me 12.9 YEs").
My hope is that this activity that is specific to their situation, including their income, current expenses, and their own ideas of where they might be able to cut back (or at least some "well, let's see what would happen if I did cut back on this?"), that then spits out a concrete "if you did this you could retire 691 days earlier" or "if you did all of these you could retire 12.9 years earlier" will make much more of an impact (and end up being more actionable) than a simple compound interest graph. I would love feedback and suggestions.
1 Any projection like this has to include many, many assumptions and, by it's very nature, is a very simplified look at things. Nonetheless, I believe this is still close enough and directionally accurate to provide some direction and motivation for folks.
2 This does not include any other sources of income in retirement such as Social Security or a pension. Since Social Security kicks in at a later age, I think it's fine to ignore it for this purpose and/or use it as a margin of safety for a 4% withdrawal rate (and enjoy the bonus when it happens).
Some educators, however, will have a pension that might start early enough to impact this directly. If that's the case, it might shave even a few more years off. One way to adjust for this might be to increase the withdrawal rate from 4% to 5% (or possibly even higher depending on the amount of their pension) to help "include" some of the pension.
Alternatively, they could carefully look at the detailed table the When Can I Retire Calculator generates at the bottom and subtract off their expected pension amount from the "Expenses" column and then find what year the amount in the "return on investments" category exceeds that new amount.

Hey everyone! This post is for a friend of mine. She is trying to find a good home for her golden (mix) and hasn't been able to. She even tried the golden rescue but because they don't think her dog is a purebred golden they won't take her. Does anyone know someone who might be able to give Bean a good home? She's 9 yrs old and really should be an inside dog. However, she has been kept outside for the last few years so I don't know if she's housebroken. She is great with kids and other dogs. They want to find her a new home because they feel like they're not giving her the best life. She's been getting out a lot and so they've had to tie her up in the backyard. They can't bring her in the house because the landlord won't let them. And she isn't really getting walked because my friend is eight mos. pregnant and her hubby works full time and goes to school full time, I guess they just haven't been able to work out a good schedule for her. They don't want to take her to a shelter that isn't no-kill because they're afraid she'll get put down since she's older. And the no-kill shelters in her area have refused to take her as well. My friend lives near the Tampa area so if anyone knows a good home Bean could go, please let me know!! I live in the Florida panhandle and would probably be willing to help transport if someone in our area wanted her. Bean is such a sweetie and I want to see her go to a good home where she can live inside in comfort and get the attention she needs. If you know someone, please let me know either here on BW or by emailing me: [email protected]

...pedal to the metal, full speed ahead, non-stop best of the best music...
Welcome to MiškoDJs, providing top quality mobile DJs, online event planning tools and exceptional customer service for all your events; specializing in weddings, ceremonies and receptions. We are based in Campbell River, servicing mid to northern Vancouver Island. We may have celebrated with you at an event under our prior name Top Quality Music, a subsidiary of "All In One Party Shop". We promise to maintain and exceed the high standards they established over the past 20+ years. We pride ourselves in providing exceptional service and outstanding entertainment for all our clients....
In 2019, after several years of working as a DJ for Top Quality Music, I (Misko) had a desire to go off on my own and develop my own company. I approached the owner and after hearing my passion and desire to grow the business, she offered me to buy the company. With her blessing, a 5-year plan was fast forwarded to what we are now, a staff of multiple DJs and event staff with inherent dedication and experience. I was honored and a bit nervous, but overall, I was ecstatic at the opportunity. One of my childhood dreams just became a reality.
We have a great team of like-minded professional DJs and event staff who genuinely enjoy their job and want to make your event as successful as it can be. We are proud of the team we have built, and we are continuously looking for more quality people to join our staff.
At MiškoDJs, we want to make your event as extraordinary and memorable as possible. We know how hard planning an event can be and how overwhelming it can become, that's why we are prepared to give you the highest level of customer care, instilling confidence so you can enjoy the event with your guests.
A full dance floor and witnessing people having a great time is a guilty pleasure. Repeatedly filling the dance floor is beyond exciting. Over the years we realized there were some inconsistencies from one DJ to the next. This is not regarding their talent or experience, but the set up and quality overall. We really believe in the finer details, things customers may never know we are even doing, and we learnt along the way that this extra effort was never wasted. We like being prepared, communication is key and forward planning is second nature. This is a standard we strive to uphold as a team, providing consistency and quality which builds trust with our clients. It's what we want MiškoDJs as a company to be known for.
Throughout my life, music has been my constant, the heartbeat of my soul! I have been mixing music and DJing since the 1990s, but I consider myself more than just a DJ. The skills are much the same, reading the room and the crowd, getting everyone into a dancing groove. But I consider myself more of a Music Curator. To get a better idea of this term, this site has an awesome explanation. I pride myself on learning my audience to generate an atmosphere with the music. I want to understand the crowd, make the most of an event and have them feeling like they never want the party to end....
As I was taking over and restyling the business, I saw a void in the technology and the process, there was plenty of room for improvement. Updating the equipment was my first step, out with the old and in with the new. I staged standard DJ kits to set in familiarity and decrease unexpected complications during gigs. Managing our music library is a constant process and its ever growing. Although I cannot say for sure, I am quite confident we have the most music, and I am proud of that.
Hiring top quality DJs is essential and keeping them busy is my goal. We have decades of experience, and we're always looking for more people to add to our staff. My desire is, if we cannot provide a DJ from our "stable", we want to help you find the next most capable DJ available. We plan to build a trustworthy network of the BEST DJs on Vancouver Island.
We work hard to maintain an excellent reputation and do not want to misrepresent ourselves in any way. We are proud of the many fans we have made over the years. Social media is everything when it comes to entertainment. We plan to further our reputation by building a stronger online persona, more Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, etc. We are currently working on design development and branding; dedicated on improving all that we do and to make sure everyone knows about us. ...
We are excited to provide a Client Portal which is a communication management product that helps us work with our clients, venues, and other vendors. The online tools will save time and ease the planning process over typical pen & paper, and it will streamline our communication with clients which is important to us. We are committed to making our clients feel like VIPs, after all, that's what we feel they are!

The Best Area To Stay In San Francisco
With luxurious hotels, historic beds and breakfasts, and campgrounds, Central Massachusetts has great places to stay, hold a corporate meeting or host a wedding. As the Old City is full of Jerusalem's most sacred sites, there is not much room for hotels. The best cheap hotels in Santorini are very nice but do not have volcano views. Just a short walk from the property, Main Street offers vacationers the opportunity to dine and shop.
Whether you're searching for a luxurious escape, a tranquil retreat or simply a place to rest your head, you'll find a variety of hotels, inns, B&Bs, and campgrounds conveniently located throughout the Greenville area that are sure to make your stay as restful as it is memorable.
These are the five best neighborhoods and places to stay in San Diego. The beach is nice here and there are some good restaurants nearby but for any sort of scene you'll need to go to Perissa which is a 20 minute walk north. The traveler visiting London for exploring the city can go for some cheap hotel or star hotels on the basis of his affordability or in proximity to the places to be explored by him.
There is a wide range of luxury hotels, splendid villas, and hotels with beachfront views etc. Lots of steps to get from the hotel up to Fira's main street – so not for anyone with mobility issues. The beach and inland neighborhoods of San Diego are less accessible with public transport, so you'll want to hire a car.
Bradenton Hotels & Resorts
London, the capital of England, is the most urban area in the United Kingdom. The downside with staying in Central Kyoto is that you'll probably have to travel to the main sightseeing districts as well as the restaurants and nightlife of downtown. Downtown San Diego is easily walkable and has trolley system with over 50 stops. Just as its name implies, Ocean Park has sublime views of the Caribbean, tropical breezes, and clean beaches.
A car is strongly recommended here, as most hotels, restaurants, beaches, and attractions are fairly spread out over the peninsula. There are a number of hotels located on the coastline that present the urban look. The city has some of the best hotels in the world (with prices to match) and yet there are tons of perfectly acceptable business hotels that cost far less than their equivalents in other developed countries.
In Cabarrus County you'll find nearly 30 hotels and more than 2,700 rooms, including hotels, motels, bed & breakfasts, campgrounds, RV parks, and rental homes. By car – The Gaslamp Quarter is in the middle of downtown San Diego and runs along 5th and 6th Avenue.
Best Area To Stay In Jerusalem

DreamHost Evaluation: Can You Trust Their Shared Hosting?
Dreamhost Change Php Settings
DreamHost might not be as popular as Siteground and Bluehost amongst typical internet users, but think me, it's an incredibly well-known brand name amongst designers, designers and digital online marketers.
Considering that they were founded in 1996 ( in Los Angeles), they have actually grown to host over 1.5 million websites and have hundreds of staff members. Remarkable. Dreamhost Change Php Settings
DreamHost is among those service providers that you can find suggested all over. WordPress themselves backs them — however I'm not sure how seriously I 'd take this endorsement, as while they display SiteGround as an alternative (which we approve), they also recommend Bluehost, which is a much more questionable choice.
For their small price, they appear to offer a lot: unrestricted storage and bandwidth, backups, 24-hour support and even complimentary SSL certificates.
But do they do not have essential features? And how does DreamHost carry out?
I am going to respond to all of these concerns and more in this DreamHost review so you can find out everything about their pros, cons, prices and when (and when not) to use them.
If you don't have much time to read this thorough DreamHost review, check out the video listed below:.
–>> Try DreamHost risk-free for 97 days <<–
Dreamhost Change Php Settings
What Products Does DreamHost Offer?
As their offering is not limited to shared hosting plans, let's review what other services you can get with DreamHost.
Alongside hosting bundles, you can get domain names at DreamHost. Choose from over 400 TLDs (like.com,. org,. internet) or more unique extensions (like.club or.guru). Country specific TLDs such as.es,. fr,. co.uk or.de are likewise readily available. A.com domain name is $ 15.99 at renewal.
DreamHost's shared hosting will offer you a lot for your money, they cost $ 3.95 a month for the 1-site strategy or $ 9.95 for the Limitless tier– uncomplicated prices. This kind of hosting is excellent to begin, however if your project grows a lot (e.g. more than 200,000 visitors a month), you'll need to update.
You can imagine a Virtual Private Server (VPS) as a shared hosting server that has actually been divided into smaller servers. This indicates that you can configure it to your needs. Your site will be hosted individually from other customers'– the resources aren't shared either. VPS hosting plans at DreamHost begin at $ 13.75 a month and can go all the way up to $110 a month. Dreamhost Change Php Settings
If your site gets so big that you require your own server, that's when you should consider getting a dedicated account– beware, these are a bit more costly. Devoted hosting at DreamHost starts at $169 per month.
That's not all, DreamHost likewise uses cloud hosting. Envision this as a series of interconnected servers that host your website. This solution is ideal for those anticipating peaks of traffic as more resources (e.g. RAM and CPU) can be included as you require them. Determining how much will you pay it's difficult as the rate depends upon the resources (e.g. RAM or storage) that you require.
On top of all that, they also use WordPress hosting plans– they have unique WordPress packages for their shared and VPS hosting. If you 'd like automatic updates, staging areas and dedicated WordPress assistance, you can opt-in for a Managed WordPress account. Shared WordPress hosting starts at $3.95 a month, VPS at $10 and Managed WordPress at $19.95.
Nevertheless, if you do not want any technical hassle and just wish to easily release a basic site, they offer a website builder too. It seems extremely low-cost (begins at $4.95), however in all honesty, I haven't evaluated it so I would not know if it's any good.
The focus of this DreamHost review is their shared hosting plans, so from now on, I'll be referencing those.
DreamHost Pricing: What Do Their Shared Plans Include?
DreamHost has an 'Unlimited Policy' and they don't accept specific tasks like file distribution websites.
I really appreciate that DreamHost's rates and strategy structure are both transparent and simple. They just have 2 shared strategies which feature the majority of the essentials you'll require– no aggressive and expensive upsells.
Let's check out what plan will you require:
The Shared Beginner strategy is limited to 1 site, so if you are only seeking to host 1 site, this is your finest option. Understand that if you need email accounts, those are paid individually in this strategy ($ 1.67 a month extra)– a fair rate if you ask me. The only other limitation is databases, as you will not be able to create more than 6– but do not stress, for 1-site tasks 6 is a lot.
To host more than 1 website you'll need the (still economical) Shared plan. This one consists of e-mail accounts and limitless databases too. There aren't any other features added as the fundamental plan is currently quite generous with storage, FTP accounts, bandwidth and so on.
There are also enhanced rates plans for WooCommerce users, that you can discover here.
DreamHost Review: Pros & Cons
Sure, DreamHost is quite low-cost and provides rather a lot, however how they perform and what features are they missing? * Spoiler Alert *: they're missing a number of innovative features.
Let me help you out:
When to Use DreamHost's Hosting?
Well, a great deal of website owners need to think about using DreamHost. It combines both low prices and high quality, something that's really difficult to discover these days in the hosting world.
I would say that little jobs (e.g. a dentist's site) searching for the very best worth for their money need to consider DreamHost.
Nevertheless, bigger sites might discover an excellent partner in DreamHost's shared hosting too. It has enough speed, excellent support and reputable uptime for devoted blog writers and hardcore website developers.
Even if it's not PCI compliant out-of-the-box, DreamHost supports this innovation– you could make it occur geeking around. This is certainly an enormous pro for ecommerce projects.
When Not to Utilize DreamHost's hosting?
There are a couple of cases where I would not recommend DreamHost.
As they do not have servers outside the US, if your audience doesn't originate from The United States and Canada, it's probably not the best option. Bluehost, SiteGround or A2 Hosting could be a much better fit.
Lastly, tech-savvy users like developers or agencies might miss some advanced functions like staging areas, integrated caching system or pre-installed Git repositories. If you expensive having these, SiteGround is the way to go.
DreamHost Shared Hosting Details
DreamHost Performance Tests
Is DreamHost slow and/or have continuous service interruptions?
Before you dedicate and leave your site's 'wellness' to a new hosting supplier, you should check out their performance.
Of course, I do not anticipate you to have time to go and test 5 or 6 hosting service providers over a variety of weeks. To make your life simpler, I have actually just recently tested DreamHost's performance and benchmarked it versus their competitors.
DreamHost Speed Test
Nobody wants their site to take ages to load. This can hurt your user engagement metrics (e.g. conversion rate) and screw up your organic (online search engine) rankings. And naturally, a quick hosting company is a basic gamer for your site to load fast.
I was a bit hesitant about DreamHost's speed as they don't appear to have a built-in caching system and are also missing a number of other functions. As you can see in the table above, their speed performance was top of the class during our tests.
So take a look at DreamHost if speed is an important aspect for you.
Is DreamHost's Uptime Good?
Some hosting companies have continuous disturbances and their accessibility (uptime) suffers. As you can envision, this can be a huge issue for hosting-dependant tasks like online shops or digital marketing agencies. Google and other search engines will not treat you too favorably.
Due to this, I continuously monitor hosting providers' uptime. Let me share DreamHost's with you.
DreamHost uptime outcomes are impressive, for the last 4 months they have had 100% uptime. Almost no other supplier, at this level, can provide these results.
DreamHost Evaluation: Do I Advise It?
Yes, I do recommend DreamHost.
This hosting provider can be an excellent choice for numerous. Fair costs, strong support and a really generous unlimited policy (for storage and bandwidth) will be incredibly enticing perks for numerous.
Furthermore, their efficiency is among the best I've tried, meaning that your job (even big websites) will be safely hosted at DreamHost.
Know however, that if you are trying to find expert features like staging areas, integrated caching and pre-installed Git repositories, DreamHost may fail. Also, it's not ideal if your traffic comes generally from outdoors The United States and Canada.
–>> Try DreamHost for 97 days with no risk <<–
DreamHost Alternatives
Alright, I have to say that I do believe DreamHost can be a good match to host most websites. Let me suggest a couple of options for some circumstances:.
Together with DreamHost, SiteGround and Bluehost offer the best assistance.
In my experience, SiteGround is a top-performing host. On top of that, they provide a fully-featured hosting service and are a terrific match for WordPress users. Dreamhost Change Php Settings
-> If you still want to opt for DreamHost, you can attempt them free of charge for 97 days.

"America was indebted to immigration for her settlement and prosperity. That part of America which had encouraged them most had advanced most rapidly in population, agriculture and the arts."
-James Madison
A bewildering 22 percent of inmates in the federal prison population are immigrants who have either already been deemed to be in the country illegally or who the government is looking to put in deportation proceedings. They are the stock in trade steered into incarceration by a judicial system that incarcerates minorities and immigrants to feed those evil puppet masters who thrive on exploiting and enslaving them. See, e.g., "The Prison Industry in the United States: Big Business or a New Form of Slavery?" by Vicky Peláez published in Global Research.
Moreover, nearly 50,000 unauthorized immigrants were ordered removed from the U.S., a 28 percent increase over last year, according to statistics released by the immigration review branch of the U.S Department of Justice, an inhumane act which destroyed families, businesses and dreams in its wake.
The 22 percent is much higher than the population of foreign-born in the U.S. as a whole-13.5 percent. Moreover, the government confirmed more than 42,000 aliens in federal prisons as of June 24. About 47 percent already face final deportation orders, making them illegal immigrants, and 3 percent are currently in immigration courts facing deportation proceedings. Almost all of the rest are being probed by federal agents looking to deport them.
Immigrants who commit serious crimes, even if they once had legal status, can have that status revoked and can be subject to deportation, hence the high number of cases where an alien is still being probed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Additionally, The U.S. Marshal Service, is holding about 12,000 "self-reporting" aliens, and almost all of them have already been ordered deported.
The DOJ's Executive Office of Immigration Review's data also revealed that total orders of removal combined with voluntary departures by immigrants in the U.S. between Feb. 1 and July 31 were up close to 31 percent over that same period last year. Final decisions issued by immigration judges also rose 14.5 percent during that time frame this year, the DOJ said recently.
There was also a total of 73,127 final decisions issued by immigration judges between February and the end of July this year, compared to 63,850 issued during the same period last year.
The boost in orders of removal over last year is undoubtedly the consequence of President Trump's signing of an executive order on January 25 requiring more stringent enforcement on immigration. It also mandated the hiring of 10,000 more immigration officers, targeted funding for so-called sanctuary cities and revived a controversial information sharing program known as Secure Communities, which allows fingerprints of arrested individuals to be checked against U.S. Department of Homeland Security databases.
The agency mobilized more than 100 existing immigration judges to DHS detention facilities across the country after Trump signed his January order, triggering a 90 percent increase of the cases those new judges oversaw resulting in orders or removal requiring unauthorized immigrants to depart or be removed. The Justice Department has also hired an additional 54 immigration judges since Trump took office "and continues to hire new immigration judges each month."
In contrast, between Feb. 1 and July 31 this year, 49,983 unauthorized immigrants were ordered removed, compared to 39,113 last year. Another 7,086 unauthorized immigrants agreed to voluntarily depart the U.S., bringing the total removal and voluntary departures so far this year to 57,069, whereas he total orders of removal and voluntary departures in that same six months last year was 43,595.
When juxtaposed with the unholy alliance between his racist base of white supremists, neo-Nazis, the KKK and other hate and bigotry groups, the present administration's assault on immigrants is most un-American and mitigates us as a nation, and must be stopped!
Note: Albert Baldeo is a civil rights activist and community advocate. His political battles placed previously ignored minority communities like Richmond Hill and Ozone Park firmly on the political and economic map.

Searching for a vacation? Find travel inspiration with Featured Locale. Let us introduce you to your new favorite vacation spot below.
Beaches without the Hassle
When we think "Florida" we automatically picture white sand beaches, clear blue waters, and dense crowds of people who are all there for the same reason you are. Unlike Miami Beach or Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach is just slightly off the heavily beaten tourist track—just enough so that a beach-goer isn't going to have to scour for a good spot to set up in the sand. There are plenty of beaches to choose from and the water is normally warm enough to swim in March.
Trampoline Park
At Sky Zone Trampoline Park fun and fitness are the mission. When you've had enough of the beach, swing by for a Jump Pass and spend a few hours having the time of your life soaring as high in the air as you can make yourself go. The trampolines are for all ages and fitness levels. You can choose from several different activities including Ultimate Dodgeball, Foam Zone (great for kids), and Sky Slam (basketball with trampolines). There is also Open Jump, a room for freestyle jumping. Check out their website for more details: http://www.skyzone.com/fortlauderdale/Activities-Programs.
Rainy Day Plan B: Festival Flea Market Mall
This is not your typical flea market. First off, it's huge and has the added bonus of being indoors so it is never rained-out. With over 500 stores to choose from, specializing in all manner of products and services, there is something for everyone at this emporium of goodies. The prices are reasonable and there is even a food court if you decide to make of day of your shopping extravaganza. Often there are musicians, car shows, and festivals which make the Festival Mall a unique experience for you and your family. Check out their website for more information: http://festival.com/.

Flat fire - Godmanchester - Huntingdonshire
On Tuesday (29) at 12.55pm, one crew from Huntingdon and two crews from St Neots were called to a flat fire on Park Lane, Godmanchester.
Crews arrived to find smoke issuing from a first floor window and a fire in the bedroom of the property.
Wearing breathing apparatus, firefighters used two hose reels to extinguish the fire, before dampening down the area.
One person was taken to hospital for smoke inhalation.
The flat was safely evacuated and all persons were accounted for.
All crews returned to their stations by 3.10pm.
The cause of the fire was accidental.
St Neots Watch Commander, Jon-Paul Jones who attended the fire commented:
"Thankfully the resident had a working smoke alarm which alerted them to the fire, and a neighbour quickly called the Fire Service.
"Without a working smoke alarm and the quick-thinking of a neighbour, this fire could have been much more serious.
"A smoke alarm is the single most important thing you need in your home - it will alert you to a fire and give you precious minutes to escape to safety.
"The crews did a fantastic job to tackle the fire and bring it under control so quickly."

St. John the Divine Stonecutting Shed
Currently Under Community Litigation
his huge steel shed on Amsterdam Avenue next to the
Cathedral of Saint John the Divine
is one of the neighborhood's worst (and most unnecessary) eyesores. It was built during the 80's to house advanced computer-controlled stonecutting equipment. The equipment was to be used partly for the cathedral itself and partly to make some money from the 1980's construction boom. In partnership with a developer, this project was named
. It received several important stonecutting commissions, including the facade restoration of the Iowa State Capitol and the expansion of the Jewish Museum on Fifth Avenue. Unfortunately, the project did not work out as a business proposition after the end of the 80's real-estate boom, and in 1994, then owned by a quarry in Alabama, it folded amidst contractual disputes. The tragedy of this supposedly "temporary" building is that its site has been intended since the
original design
of the cathedral to be a splendid open park-like space.
t. John's is currently having a master plan made by Wendy Feuer for a religious conference center on this site, and there is talk of tearing the shed down to make way for this.
Ms. Feuer
did Columbia's highly-regarded
master plan
in 1999.

Efficiently monitoring microbial contamination in the cleanroom has become even more crucial over the recent years, specifically with the impending release of EU GMP Annex 1.
Modern pharmaceutical manufacturers are already generating and managing big data from environmental monitoring; the next step is to create actionable insights and ensure 21CFR11 compliance. This webinar discusses data collection, 21CFR11 data management and the generation of actionable insights.
On 26 February, we will review how this is accomplished by leveraging industry standards such as the FDA / ICH guidelines that encourage the use of control charts as statistical tools to guarantee that a manufacturing process remains in a state of control (the validated state).
Attend this webinar to learn:
- Critical microbial data management – Interpretations, considerations and solutions for data integrity, statistical control and FDA guidelines.
- FDA and ICH guidelines and recommendations – How to leverage this information for better contamination control.
- Data integrity – Definition and Inspectors' perspective regarding environmental monitoring and data management, with attention to 21CFR Part 11.
- Elements to consider to ensure that a process is under statistical control.
- The future of microbial monitoring in the Pharma industry – Benefits of single use microbial monitoring.
Paola Lazzeri and Giulia Artalli will be presenting the webinar.
Paola is currently part of the EMEA Sterility Assurance / Microbiology Product Specialist Team and the Advisory Team in Particle Measuring Systems. She is a subject matter expert in the field of cleaning and sanitization of Pharmaceutical Cleanrooms through constant dialogue with operators, quality officers, and financial and production teams.
She has experience in examining and understanding contamination issues with a specific focus on microbiological hazard, setting rational cleaning and sanitization of cleanroom and pharmaceutical manufacturing plants with relative drafting of VMP, and supporting pharma companies in the validation of sanitizing and decontaminating agents. Paola participates as a speaker at national and international conferences.
Dr Artalli has a degree in biology from the University of Milan with over 20 years' experience in Microbiology, specifically for pharmaceutical applications.
Dr Artalli has covered different roles acquiring knowledge on different topics useful for supporting customers in their needs; she is a Global Product Line Manager at Particle Manager Systems for the Microbiology product line.
This presentation is offered at multiple times to suit various time zones. To find out the session that is best for you, please fill out the enquiry form attached to this page.

On August 5, 2022, my family gathered for a meal of the traditional Palestinian dish called maqloubeh, which means upside down. Its name comes from how the meat, vegetables, and rice are cooked in a pot that is then turned upside down onto a platter before serving. It was a Friday, the day of the week set aside for families and friends to visit and catch up with each other. After eating, I was taking a nap. Suddenly, I heard a terrible noise nearby. It's hard to express how I felt after hearing it, other than thinking that this is the worst nightmare I have ever had.
I wasn't sure if I was dreaming or not. I was still lying on my bed, screaming, "Is everything alright?" and "What's the matter?" No one responded clearly. Everyone was rushing around, and my little sisters were crying loudly. My mother gave me an odd look that sent shivers down my spine and made my heart freeze. I began to think that something terrible had happened.
"What happened?" I screamed again, "Please tell me!" There was silence. All of my sisters stared at me.
My family members gathered in my room, which was the safest one in our house; it has only one small window, meaning there was less glass that could shatter. My mother took a deep breath and, with sadness in her voice, replied, "The escalation started. The Israelis bombed a residential building in central Gaza and assassinated an Islamic Jihad leader. They also killed a five-year-old girl and wounded more than 55 civilians."
A wave of bad memories flooded my mind. I felt like I did at the beginning of the last assault on Gaza, in May 2021, in which more than 200 Palestinians were killed. I felt like I was choking and couldn't move or talk.
"How could all this happen when I was just taking a nap?" I said, feeling sorry for myself.
My sister Iman, five wars old, commented, "We haven't healed from the previous escalation. I'm really fed up with this life; I can't bear more." Then she added, "I want to live in peace, but the moments of peace are so few I can count them."
Across the world, the night has a unique flavor; it is a time of comfort and quiet. But the night in Gaza means fear and terror. During the first night of the assault, it was almost impossible for me to sleep; I was constantly worried about my sisters and what I could do to protect them if we were bombed. My father had been with us during the previous wars, and he was the one who always looked out for us. But he had died since previous war, so someone else had to do his job. In the upside-down world of Gaza, that someone was me.
During the several days of the bombing in August, I had a hard time with my two little sisters, especially Aysha, who was constantly terrified during the attacks. I tried distracting her by counting the number of rockets, to help ease the fear that controlled her. Sometimes we'd recite verses of the Holy Quran together or read books, or I'd encourage her to write what she felt to help overcome the fear.
My oldest sister Heba enjoys baking sweets. During the attack, she told me she didn't care what was happening around her. "Nothing prevents me from doing what I love to do," she declared. "I will surprise you with my delicious dishes, so stay tuned." Her behavior drove me crazy, especially when she commented that cooking was not my cup of tea.
Ahmed, my brother, told silly jokes, like my father used to do. He tries hard to create an atmosphere of happiness and joy, to alleviate my little sisters' fear and terror. We all knew it wasn't a suitable time for kidding, but it nonetheless served an important purpose.
I concluded from observing them that we love life as much as possible despite all the circumstances. Not only do Heba and Ahmed love life, but all the Gazans look forward to living in peace, without terror, to do what they love. Life is everything to us, and we want to live it to the fullest.
I wish the only "upside down" in our lives was the delicious meal we ate on Fridays. But, indeed, our entire lives can become upside down – our feelings, behaviors, living conditions – in a few minutes.

What did Spain do with the Aztec gold?
You know, all that gold taken from the Aztecs and Incas during the days after Columbus started the rape of the new world?
A column (reference lost) raised the question and provided an answer. This provided an interesting contrast to current economic conditions as described by Charles Bird. What is comes down to is that the gold from the new world was analogous to printed money. It did not reflect real wealth like that the US is developing in the productivity growth described by Charles. Printed money is more like what happened to the German mark in the thirties. It causes inflation.
Real wealth, such as the US economy is currently producing, raises the standard of living. Real wealth means more things are available at less cost. Fewer farmers and fewer acres provide more food. New things (and technologies) that are invented cure disease, improve communications, facilitate manufacturing, enable ideas to become even more things.
The concept to ponder is the difference between gold mined to be put on the market and gold obtained by whatever means to be used as money to purchase other things.
