Greetings Qt devs,
I've Just tested the QGraphicsView on Win32 Vista in software.
There is an important performance hit between 4.8 RC and 4.8.
Animations and transitions seem slower. You can notice that in qtDemo 4.8 and 4.8 RC.
Has the software renderer been tweaked between 4.8 RC and 4.8 ?

Eight months before Election Day, three people have filed paperwork to campaign for the Seattle School Board, and more are thinking about it.
Attorney Peter Maier, who recently led the successful effort to pass an $887 million bond and levy for the district, is set to announce he is running for a seat representing North Seattle, which is now held by Sally Soriano. Soriano has also indicated she will seek re-election.
Lisa Stuebing, past chairwoman of the 43rd District Democrats, submitted forms with the state Public Disclosure Commission enabling her to raise campaign money. She is seeking the seat held by Darlene Flynn, who represents the Green Lake, Greenwood and University District neighborhoods.
Flynn said she had not made a decision to run. "I'm thinking about it, considering it very seriously," she said.

The seats of four incumbents are up for election this fall: Flynn, Soriano, Irene Stewart and Brita Butler-Wall, who also was undecided. Soriano and Stewart did not respond to an interview request.
"I think of this as a civic gig," Butler-Wall said. "It is a volunteer position for four years, and it's a huge time commitment."
It's been a tough year for the 46,000-student school district. After the board's decision to close seven school buildings, a group of citizens unsuccessfully sued the board. A recall petition against five members also failed.
The budget is now balanced, but the district expects more deficits next year. And the board hopes to have a new superintendent before the election.
In his State of the City address earlier this month, Mayor Greg Nickels hinted at widespread discontent with the School Board.
"Our schools have reached a state of disarray that goes beyond finances — it has become a crisis of confidence," Nickels said. "With a majority of the seats on the School Board up for election this fall, we have a chance to set a new course."
Maier was president of the pro-levy campaign Schools First! for five years and resigned two weeks ago to run for the board. He said that there's a financial need to close schools, but the board needs to manage money more effectively.
Stuebing opposed the closures and said the district should partner with other public agencies to use school facilities full time.
While the campaigns ramp up so, too, will an effort to focus attention on the School Board elections.
Former board member Barbara Schaad-Lamphere, who chose not to run for re-election in 2003, said she has spoken to others interested in running, though she would not provide names. The would-be candidates share common traits, she said.
"People have a distinctly different approach from the School Board members now in terms of making the difficult decisions that lie ahead. They are determined to work more effectively as a board," Schaad-Lamphere said.
She is kicking off a nonprofit group that will hold a series of meetings to generate interest in the election. "We are at a fork in the road," she said. "We have tough decisions in the future. I think all School Board elections are important, but we have a fever pitch of interest in public schools right now."

Nickel plating / striking on stainless steel+++++
Q. My supplier in Far East told me that stainless steel is very difficult to be coated with nickel. The stainless steel part we need to plate is SUS304 and is used in battery door as a charge contact. The supplier claimed that the failure rate of plating is about 30%, which is unbelievably high. I am wondering what is the best plating process for nickel plating stainless steel. Is it necessary to insert Nickel strike step?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Consumer products - Kansas City, Missouri
A. Hi E.J. Yes, stainless steel definitely requires a preplate sequence which includes a nickel strike. The very best treatment of that subject is in Jack Dini's book, "Electrodeposition ..." =>
Yes, 30% is a ludicrously high reject rate; but it is believable, because if a plating process is done wrong, there is no upper limit on the percentage of rejects.
I'm sure there are shops right in the Kansas City area which can deliver a 99.9%+ pass rate on your parts tomorrow morning; I don't know how you manage to afford for your parts to be a learning experience for a plating shop 12,000 miles away which is making excuses for their incompetence :-)

Q. Can you please tell me what is "Nickel strike"?V. Ranga Bhuvana Balaji
- India
A. You need a high chloride bath Nickel Wood's Nickel
Range Optimal
Contents: Nickel 80- 96 gr/lt, 88 gr/lt
Nickel Chloride 420-467 gr/lt, 434 gr/lt
Chlorhidric Acid 70- 82 gr/lt, 75 gr/lt
3 to 5 volts
I hope this can help you.
- Toluca, Mexico
A. Wood's nickel is the most popular. It consists of a highly acidic, low efficiency, all chloride nickel solution prepared with 250 g/L nickel chloride, 250 mL/L conc. HCl, rest DI water. Operated at room temp, 20-100 a/sq-dm, anodes pure nickel.Guillermo Marrufo
Monterrey, NL, Mexico
A. If you have to ask this question, you really need a good reference book on plating.
A nickel strike is a very thin coat of a nickel that will stick to stainless that has been properly cleaned and activated. Typically a Wood's Strike is used. It is a very high chloride bath at a very low pH that plates very slowly and is extremely highly compressive stressed, so you only want enough of a coat to barely give a "color".
- Navarre, Florida
A. Are you rack plating or barrel plating? If you are barrel plating be sure to have good pump agitation as well as a slightly higher HCl concentration. Stainless Steel is not as tricky as some would make it seem. Also try to remember that a Ni strike normally requires a higher current to strike parts. Consider covering surface of your bath with plastic balls, available from plating supply companies to reduce surface fumes. Good luck!
- Methuen, Massachusetts
Q. What happens to the rejects? Can the same steel be "cleaned" and re-plated?Paulina Natera
- Westlake Village, California
A. Hello, Paulina. It's not clear to me if you are following up on E.J.'s question. In general, nickel can be stripped from steel relatively easily, but not as easily from stainless steel because they are somewhat similar.
Metalx [a finishing.com supporting advertiser] can probably help you.
Good luck.

Q. I understand Stainless Steel is a tricky material to plate with Nickel followed by Cadmium. Does surface preparation matter? E.g., which is better: sand-blasted surface or vibro-finished surface? And what time lapse permitted after above finishing and before plating ?B Pramod
- Landewadi, INDIA
October 5, 2009
A. Hi, B. In electroplating, the adhesion is molecular, not based on mechanical "keying" as in painting. So either sand blasting or vibro-finishing can be used, depending on what you want the surface to look like.
If sandblasting is practical and convenient for your parts, it's ideal, but you still need the Wood's Nickel Strike before the nickel plating and cadmium plating.
The allowable time lapse depends on your handling and your intentions. For example, if you are going to immediately plate, sandblasting is the only prep you may need before the nickel strike. But if the parts are going to hang around for a couple of days, you will need to alkaline clean them and acid activate them immediately before the nickel strike. The best approach is surely to plate immediately after blasting. Good luck.

Please give full composition and plating conditions of the nickel strike you are trying to apply. Thanks!

- solan h.p. india
January 24, 2012
A. Hi again.
If it's the gold plating peeling off of the nickel plating, rather than all of the plating peeling off, then probably you are either waiting too long to begin the gold plating (you should quickly rinse the nickel, then immediately go into the gold plating bath) or there is an excess of brighteners in the bright nickel plating. Good luck.

January 26, 2013 -- this entry appended to this thread by editor in lieu of spawning a duplicative thread
Q. Hello, I have a fundamental questions: why put nickel on stainless steel? (Only for appearance?). Is there somewhere a chart with values of nickel adhesion on stainless steel obtained in a test on flat surface with a specific device like nano-indenter? What value should it be?
I would like to ask if you could recommend me some basic/fundamental source (article, book) where I could find something solid about nickel plating adhesion on stainless steel (values). I read a chapter Jack Dini's "Electrodeposition" but it does not explain the basics like why put nickel on stainless steel. Could you recommend something?
- Lodz, Poland
January 30, 2013
A. Hi Jurek. We appended your inquiry to a thread which implies the answer: Electroplating must be done on bare metal (not tarnish or oxides) for proper adhesion, but stainless steel instantly forms a passive oxide on its surface which prevents that proper adhesion. The most popular way of addressing that problem is to start with a Wood's nickel strike or other nickel strike. Being highly acidic, it dissolves the oxide, while simultaneously applying a thin layer of nickel plating to the bare stainless steel. The book by Jack Dini that you referenced =>
is excellent once you understand that the chapter in question is titled "Adhesion", and it's all about the best procedures for getting good adhesion onto stainless steel with a nickel strike. Good luck.

Q. Hello,
why put nickel coating on stainless steel? Better corrosion resistance? Better adhesion of solder to nickel than to steel? So why do it? Not how, this I already know.
Best regards,
- Lodz, Poland
April 4, 2013
A. Hi Jurek. The short answer is, of course, that stainless steel is nickel plated when the surface properties of nickel are better suited for the application in question. If you search this site for "nickel plating stainless", you will see a number of applications discussed. For example, nickel will have much better surface conductivity and will be a much better electrical contact than stainless steel; also, as you suggest, it will be more readily solderable; it may be more corrosion resistant in certain environments. Also, the nickel plating may be necessary before other types of plating like gold plating can be done on the stainless steel. But it's not possible to list or predict every possible application where the surface properties of nickel would be more desirable than those of stainless steel. Good luck.

Q. Hello, we are having problems with adhesion on stainless steel. We run a Zinc Nickel bath with no brighteners and nickel strike all stainless steel parts before plating. What are the components of a good nickel strike bath for a barrel process? Please include volts, amps, and processing time. Thank you.Asa Sanders
- North Richland Hills, Texas USA
A. Hi Asa,
You can find formulations for nickel strike in any decent text book on plating, such as the "Electroplating Engineering Handbook" [link is to product info at Amazon], "The Canning Handbook" [link is to info about book at Amazon] and the Metal Finishing Guidebook. These include formulations, temperatures, voltages, etc.
It sounds like you have to go back a bit further than the nickel strike to start your investigation.
Firstly look at your degreasing and cleaning process, are you getting a water-break free surface? Yes - good, No - time to investigate your cleaning process.
Secondly look at your etching process prior to nickel strike. Are you using one? For stainless steels I would highly recommend it as the steel will have a naturally passive layer on it that needs removing before plating.
Next it is important that you do not delay from nickel strike to the plating tank. From nickel strike you need to rinse and be in the Zn/Ni tank within 2 minutes. Any longer and you'll end up with a passive nickel strike.
That should get you started down the right road to a robust process.

March 15, 2013
Q. We are activating the parts before nickel strike in HCl for 2-5 minutes. We have already looked at our degreasing process and are good. We also get the parts into the strike within 2 minutes. We are only getting .8 to 3.2 microinches of nickel on the parts in 8 - 10 minutes. Is this enough for our barrel process?
Thank you.
- North Richland Hills, Texas, USA
March 20, 2013
A. Hi Asa,
A couple more questions:
Do you know if the plating is failing between the base materials and the nickel strike, or is it failing between the nickel strike and the Zn/Ni plating?
If you find that it is failing between the base material and the nickel strike it indicates either a problem with the nickel strike or the pre-cleaning.
If it is failing between the nickel strike and the plating then it may be the nickel layer going passive or you may have a problem with the Zn/Ni plating process.
The nickel strike is designed to give a very thin, adhesion promoting coating on the surface of the base material. I must admit I have never checked the thickness of the nickel strike, but it would certainly be less than a micron, so I would guess the thickness is probably in the right ballpark.
If the nickel strike is acting unpredictably it could be due to a build up of tramp metals in the tank (usually copper and/or iron). You can do one of two things about that, either dummy out the metals (large surface area cathode, low current density) or dump and re-make the tank.
aerospace - Yeovil, Somerset, United Kingdom

We actually found the problem when we dumped the tank, their was a clamp at the bottom and had corroded away depositing iron to the metal. I thank you for all your help, it was much needed.Asa Sanders [returning]

Q. We have been trying to do nickel strike on stainless steel boxes . . .
We have done strike nickel on other materials and we have been successful but we have failed to do strike nickel on these boxes. We are using degreasers properly, the rectifier is set at 8 volts and the boxes are put into the chloride tank for at least 4 minutes but the minute we remove it the box is a little black and the nickel is not catching the box. I hope you could help me with this.

A. The quality of the response is normally directly related to the quality of the question. You left out everything of importance. What is your strike chemistry. Have you checked for tramp metals in solution. What are your anodes. Are the bags clean. What is the parent metal, not just SS. What is your agitation. What is your anode to cathode ratio? Tank temp.

Coating inside a channelSeptember 29, 2013
Q. Hello,
I have a metal part with a channel inside (2 mm diameter of the channel). I wonder if the Ni coating would be or could be thinner inside this channel?
Another question is if the coating could be too thick? Does the higher thickness influence adversely the adhesion of a coating?
Best regards,
- Lodz, Poland
October 2, 2013
A. Hi Jurek. The nickel plating deposits in proportion to the current flowing to the particular area (see Faraday's Law of Electrodeposition). And the current flows in accordance with Ohm's Law (the greater the resistance, the lower the current flow). And the resistance between the anodes and points inside that 2 mm channel is very high compared to the resistance to points on the exterior. So little if any current will flow and little if any nickel will deposit.
Within reasonable limits of thickness the adhesion will not be determined by the thickness. Good luck.

Q. I'm having trouble electroplating 304 stainless. It has been polished, then cleaned through a electro cleaner first on reverse polarity and then positive. Then rinsed, 10% sulfuric, rinsed, then Wood's nickel strike. Then directly into bright nickel, and chrome. Blisters 60% of the time. Peeling seems to be nickel strike off the stainless. Any ideas? Maybe a better activation process to activate the stainless?Brett Troncale

A. Hello Daniel,
Most shops use HCl pickling on steel before Ni strike, not a sulfuric dip. I also agree that a cathodic clean is the way to go.
Process Engineer - Malone, New York USA
April 4, 2014
A. Maybe you have left the anodes in, and the nickel concentration increases, and you convert an inefficient STRIKE solution into an efficient PLATING solution which will not bond. Take your anodes out when not in use, titrate and adjust the metal down to 16 oz/gal nickel chloride and 32 fluid ounces per gallon HCl.

Q. I have a print for a metal stamping that I need to purchase. The material calls for .25 MM stainless steel with nickel plating OR 0.10" CRS with bright tin plating. My question is, will these two types of materials/finishes, give the same performance? And, why would you need to plate stainless steel? Is that accurate? Thanks.Lee Smith
buyer - Rolling Meadows, Illinois, USA
^- Privately contact this inquirer -^
February 2015
A. Hi Lee. We appended your inquiry to a similar thread where the question of why you might plate stainless steel is already somewhat answered -- for example, it's a better electrical contact surface, and it's more solderable. Unfortunately, 3rd parties can only guess why the designer wants the stainless steel nickel plated, and our guesses may be wrong.
There is no way we can say whether nickel plated stainless or tin plated CRS is better for an unknown application, but the tin plated CRS is probably a good deal less expensive. Best of luck.

No this is the first item I am gold plating. How can I tell if there is a layer of nickel on the watch? It looks exactly the same to me. I assume there must be a step I'm missing
- Lowestoft, Norfolk, England
September 2015
A. Hi again Rejaul. You're welcome to attempt anything you want to attempt. But if you have never done any plating and your first attempt is going to be on an expensive stainless steel item of unknown composition, you have a difficult task in front of you both because of potential damage and because stainless steel is difficult to plate.
Still if you are running electricity to the part, you are moving electrons from the anode to the cathode and something has to happen at the anode and cathode as a result because Faraday's Law won't be violated. Tell us about the bubbles you're seeing in the nickel plating tank and in the gold plating tank.

But the most obvious thing is that if the nickel concentration is too high, the process may function as a plating bath without activating the stainless, and you'll have low adhesion.
But please tell us your situation, as it's tough to predict all the things that might go wrong in 101 scenarios if the process is out of control :-)

Purpose for nickel plating stainless steel in electrical applicationsMarch 21, 2016
Q. I'm investigating an issue we are having with an 18-8 stainless steel screw (pan head, drilled spanner drive), which is being used as the contact for the positive terminal of a Lithium battery. Under shock and vibe, we've measured a voltage drop at the interface between the screw head and the battery terminal. We believe that the battery terminal is nickel plated stainless steel, however the screw is not plated. During our testing, we've found that if we nickel plate the SS screw, then the shock induced voltage drops no longer appear.
I would like to better understand why the screw needs to be nickel plated, in general, why is it necessary to Ni plate SS for electrical applications (assuming it IS necessary)? SS appears to be conductive enough, as we do not measure a voltage drop along the length of the screw, only at the interface to the battery. Assuming the Ni-SS "interface" within the battery terminal does not induce a voltage drop, why does the Ni-SS interface between the battery and the screw create a problem, such that I need a nickel-nickel interface there?
Thank you.

A. Hi John. When a non-precious metal is exposed to the atmosphere, the surface of the metal reacts with the oxygen and sulfides in the air and forms reaction products on the surface. These reaction products are not metals and tend to not be conductive. The resistance offered by this skin of reaction products can interfere with the passage of electrical current. The tarnish that forms on the surface of nickel is not as thick, resistive, and problematical as that which forms on stainless steel.

Proposal in Congress could mean $20M for Vt.April 23,2013The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — Proposals being considered by Congress to require Internet retailers to charge state sales taxes could mean $20 million a year in revenue for the state of Vermont.
Currently, Internet retailers don't have to impose a state sales tax unless the company has a physical presence in the state.
Vermont Tax Commissioner Mary Peterson tells Vermont Public Radio people who purchase items from e-retailers are supposed to pay the state sales tax, but they rarely do.
Many small retailers have complained that this gives the Internet retailers an unfair price advantage and state officials are upset because they lose revenue.
The U.S. Senate is set to vote this week on legislation requiring most e-retailers to include any applicable sales tax. There is a similar bill being considered in the House.MORE IN This Just InAnti-refugee activists are hosting a speaker at the Rutland Free Library tonight.

Security researchers found 342 apps in the Play Store which were used to infect Android users with a Trojan dubbed the "Porn Clicker." The oldest of the listed apps was uploaded to the Play Store in June 2015.
Last year the popular e-commerce platform Magento was impacted by a critical vulnerability. Initially discovered by Check Point security researchers, the vulnerability was privately disclosed to Magento's owner, eBay. Magento patched the flaw but merchants were slow to adopt the patch and resolve the problem. Two months after the patch was released, 98,000 online merchants had not implemented it.

"Zomer in Zeeland (summer in Zeeland)" Top 5 Page for this destination Provincie Zeeland by tompt
Provincie Zeeland Travel Guide: 941 reviews and 2,470 photos
Zomer in Zeeland is the title of a dutch song, that tells about how great Zeeland is in summer. You can hear the music here, there is also the dutch text at this website. It is the thing that comes into mind when thinking about Zeeland, sun sea and summer. The name is clear Zeeland (lit.: Sealand), and that is just what it is, 1/3 is sea and 2/3 is land. The sea has always been a threat to the province, numerous times the land flooded, the last big flood was in februari 1953. More than 1800 people lost their lives. It was then the government decided to do something about it and tame the sea. The Deltaworks were born. Dams and floodbarriers were built. The last was completed in the end of the 20th century.
But altough the high sea is kept out now, Zeeland remains the dutch province to go to the beach. Or any other form of recreation on or along the water is great here ( sailing, fishing and so on) It is the province with the most hours of sun in our country ....
What did we see in Zeeland?
Well not really much, we sure have to visit there more often! We have been to Middelburg, attended the VT meeting in august 2004. Middelburg is a nice city, with more than 1000 monuments.
We visited Veere, a small town with an old center and a great town hall.
And in the summer of 2004 we camped in Haamstede, with family. It was here our two nieces went sky high in a glider, they were very impressed to see Zeeland from above.
Zeeland is 1/3 water as you can see in the satelite picture.

Good Western Movie
on 6/15/2007
I am fond of Westerns. I also like Sam Elliott. He seems to be the kind of actor cut out for this genre. With all that said, this movie was entertaining with a good plot and had great, at times, funny scenes. Just did not like the way it ended but I guess it could not be the other way. Linda Fiorentino was a pleasant surprise. She is very good in her role.

Pope should apologize and explain
Everybody has an opinion about whether Pope Benedict, or more precisely then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, handled the sex abuse crisis in the Catholic Church well or not. Many Catholics defend Ratzinger on the grounds that he was out of the loop, had no real authority over abusive priests, or was following the Pope's directives. Atheists assert that the pope is the leader of a criminal enterprise and should be arrested. Many non-Catholic liberals contend that Cardinal Ratzinger should have acted more swiftly to defrock priests guilty of sexually abusing children and should account for his errors, do an act of penitence, or even resign his office.
It's interesting that opinion about Benedict's response breaks as much along sectarian and religious lines as ideological ones. But in my humble view, none of the opinions are worthy of the vicar of Christ. The pope shouldn't be defensive about his tenure as archbishop of Munich or as head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. But doing an act of penitence alone, let alone resigning, won't be sufficient either. Instead, Benedict should apologize and explain for his failings and that of the Church; if he can do so with other bishops, all the better.
Many Catholics imply that Benedict has nothing to apologize for at all. I don't buy this. Certainly he should apologize for not preventing the Rev. Peter Hullerman from defiling children again after he left therapy. He was Hullerman's archbishop, after all. He had some responsibility for the wayward priests' conduct. He wasn't the head of a local religious order or a priest, positions that had zero responsibility for Hullerman. To be fair, Archbishop Ratzinger likely did not know about Hullermans' sins and crimes, which is why Ratzinger's likely offense was not grave . But Ratzinger's lack of knowledge doesn't mean the buck didn't stop with him. Put another way, conservatives who blame Archbishops Weakland and Cummins for not disciplining the molesters in their ranks should also point a finger at Ratzinger.
Benedict should also apologize for not laicizing more expeditiously the convicted pedophile priests, Lawrence Murphy and Stephen Kiesle. Sure, defrocking a priest is not the same as barring him from ministry; in the case of Kiesle, he molested children even after he was laicized. Sure, the Church's policy under Pope John Paul II was not to defrock priests until they turned 40 years old; this accounts for Kiesle's laicization in 1987 rather than 1985. And sure, the evidence against Murphy was old and complicated. But none of those three reasons excuse allowing a convicted pedophile or ephebophile to continue as a priest. Defrocking is commonly understood as more than releasing a priest from his duties and letting him marry. It's also understood to mean that a priest committed crimes so heinous that his continued presence scandalizes the faithful. Certainly as a teenage Catholic growing up in the Bay Area of the 1980s, I could have told you that a defrocked priest such as Kiesle was guilty of evil conduct.
Yet Benedict should not apologize for misdeeds over which he had no responsibility. For example, even the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith was not responsible for barring convicted child abusers such as Kielse from working in youth ministry. That Kiesele got a job even after being laicized is ridiculous. That he worked with young children is frightening. But even God's Rottweiler could not have stopped Kiesele. That was the responsibility of my old bishop. And this is just one instance in which the press has failed to give Benedict the benefit of the doubt.
Coming up with words to apologize and explain Ratzinger's handling of the sex abuse crisis would not be difficult. He could use language like this:
It cannot be denied that I and some bishops failed, at times grievously, to apply the long-established norms of canon law to the crime of child abuse. Serious mistakes were made in responding to allegations. I recognise how difficult it was to grasp the extent and complexity of the problem, to obtain reliable information and to make the right decisions in the light of conflicting expert advice. Nevertheless, it must be admitted that grave errors of judgement were made and failures of leadership occurred. All this has seriously undermined our credibility and effectiveness. I appreciate the efforts we have made to remedy past mistakes and to guarantee that they do not happen again.
Except for a few pronouns, those stern words were delivered by Pope Benedict to the Irish bishops in February. His letter wasn't a pro forma apologia. It was clear and responsible. It showed leadership. And it suggested that unlike certain other institutions, the Catholic Church is applying a systemic solution to a real problem.

Dog fouling on public land & private property
Sent to Isle of Anglesey Council 4 minutes later
It has increasingly become a problem that some people have let this area become a toilet for their dogs. The dogs are free to roam and do their business where ever they like. Of particular annoyance is having to clean up dog mess from my front lawn almost on a daily basis. This has been an increasing problem for over 12 months, and there are now around 6 or 7 dogs which are left to run free here.

Additional Information
About HOPE UkraineHOPE International, a Christian faith-based non-profit organization, has been operating in Ukraine since 1997. HOPE Ukraine was the organization's first international venture. In addition to its core microfinance activities, HOPE also supports an active children's ministry in Ukraine in the form of "Tomorrow Clubs," after-school programs that teach children the gospel through games, skits and songs.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Marketing Checklist Top priorities for vorschauxxl.de :
79 personalized tasks for
online marketing success!
Title Tag
Startseite – VorschauXXL.de
Length: 27 character(s)
Great, your title tag contains between 10 and 70 characters.
Make sure your title tag is explicit and contains your most important keywords.
Be sure that each page has a unique title tag.
Meta Description
Ideally, your meta description should contain between 70 and 160 characters (spaces included).
Meta descriptions allow you to influence how your web pages are described and displayed in search results.
Ensure that each of your web pages have a unique meta description that is explicit and contains your most important keywords for each page (these appear in bold when they match part or all of the user's search query).
A good description acts as a potential organic advertisement and encourages the viewer to click through to your site.
Check your Google™ Search Console (Search Appearance > HTML Improvements) for any warning messages to identify meta descriptions that are too long/short or duplicated across more than one page.

Great, your website is structured using HTML headings (<H1> to <H6>).
Use your keywords in the headings and make sure the first level (<H1>) includes your most important keywords. Never duplicate your title tag content in your header tag.
While it is important to ensure every page has an <H1> tag, never include more than one per page. Instead, use multiple <H2> - <H6> tags.
Keywords Cloud
This Keyword Cloud provides an insight into the frequency of keyword usage within the page.
It's important to carry out keyword research to get an understanding of the keywords that your audience is using. There are a number of keyword research tools available online to help you choose which keywords to target.
Keyword Consistency
|Keywords (2 words)
|folge dienstag
|gzsz folge
|folge freitag
|folge montag
|dienstag gzsz
This table highlights the importance of being consistent with your use of keywords. To improve the chance of ranking well in search results for a specific keyword, make sure you include it in some or all of the following: page URL, page content, title tag, meta description, header tags, image alt attributes, internal link anchor text and backlink anchor text.
Alt Attribute
We found 24 images on this web page.
1 ALT attributes are empty or missing.
- http://www.vorschauxxl.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/entertainweb_30px_hell.png
Good, most or all of your images have alternative text (the alt attribute).
Alternative text is used to describe images to give the search engine crawlers (and the visually impaired) more information to help them understand images, which can help them to appear in Google™ Images search results.
WWW Resolve
Great, a redirect is in place to redirect traffic from your non-preferred domain.
Great, your website directs www.vorschauxxl.de and vorschauxxl.de to the same URL.
Redirecting requests from a non-preferred domain is important because search engines consider URLs with and without "www" as two different websites.
IP Canonicalization
Good, your website's IP address is forwarding to your website's domain name.
To check this for your website, enter your IP address in the browser and see if your site loads with the IP address. Ideally, the IP should redirect to your website's URL or to a page from your website hosting provider.
If it does not redirect, you should do an htaccess 301 redirect to make sure the IP does not get indexed.
Great, your website has a robots.txt file.
A robots.txt file allows you to restrict the access of search engine robots that crawl the web and it can prevent these robots from accessing specific directories and pages. It also specifies where the XML sitemap file is located.
You can check for errors in your robots.txt file using Google Search Console (Formerly Webmaster Tools) by selecting 'Robots.txt Tester' under 'Crawl'. This also allows you to test individual pages to make sure that Googlebot has the appropriate access.
XML Sitemap
Great, your website has an XML sitemap.
A sitemap lists URLs that are available for crawling and can include additional information like your site's latest updates, frequency of changes and importance of the URLs. This allows search engines to crawl the site more intelligently.
It is also good practice to specify your sitemap's location in your robots.txt file.
It's important to only include pages that you want the search engines to crawl, so avoid any that have been blocked via your robots.txt file. Check the URLs to ensure that none of them cause redirects or return error codes. This includes being consistent with your URLs, for example, including your preferred URLs (with or without www.), including the correct protocol (http or https) and making sure URLs all end with or without a trailing slash.
URL Rewrite
Good, the URLs look clean.
Great! You have clean (user-friendly) URLs which do not contain query strings.
Clean URLs are not only SEO-friendly but are also important for usability.
Underscores in the URLs
Great, you are not using underscores (these_are_underscores) in your URLs.
While Google™ treats hyphens as word separators, it does not for underscores.
Blocking Factors
Flash: No
Frames: No
Frames can cause problems on your web page because search engines will not crawl or index the content within them. Avoid frames whenever possible and use a NoFrames tag if you must use them.
We found a Blog on this website.
Starting a blog is a great way to engage with your audience and increase your online visibility by attracting qualified traffic from new sources.
Use our tips to optimize your blog and improve performance.
Mobile Rendering
The number of people using the Mobile Web is huge; over 75 percent of consumers have access to smartphones. Your website should look nice on the most popular mobile devices.
Tip: Use an analytics tool to track mobile usage of your website.
Length: 11 character(s)
Keep your URLs short and avoid long domain names when possible.
A descriptive URL is better recognized by search engines. A user should be able to look at the address bar and make an accurate guess about the content of the page before reaching it (e.g., http://www.mysite.com/en/products).
Keep in mind that URLs are also an important part of a comprehensive SEO strategy. Use clean URLs to make your site more "crawlable" by Google™.
Resource: Search for a good domain name. If no good names are available, consider a second hand domain. To prevent brand theft, you might consider trademarking your domain name.
Great, your website has a favicon.
Favicons improve a brand's visibility. As a favicon is especially important for users bookmarking your website, make sure it is consistent with your brand.
Resource: Check out this amazing idea.
Great, your website has a favicon. Make sure this favicon is consistent with your brand.
Resource: Check out this amazing idea for improving the user experience with a special favicon.
Page Size
50.5 KB (World Wide Web average is 2 Mb)
Two of the main reasons for an increase in page size are images and JavaScript files.
Page size affects the speed of your website; try to keep your page size below 2 Mb.
Tip: Use images with a small size and optimize their download with gzip.
Load Time
1.96 second(s) (25.71 kB/s)
Your website is too slow. Slow page load time is one of the biggest complaints of web users.
Page speed can not only affect visitor engagement, retention, and conversion rates, but it can also affect your rankings.
High load times can be caused by a number of things, including pages with poor code optimization (cache, Mysql queries, etc.), server problems, network problems, or third-party issues (advertising codes, analytics codes, etc.).
Site speed is an important factor for ranking high in Google™ search results.
Check out Google™'s developer tutorials for tips on how to to make your website run faster.
Monitor your server and receive SMS alerts when your website is down with a website monitoring tool.
Declared: German
Detected: German
Great, you have declared the language.
Make sure your declared language is the same as the language detected by Google™.
Tips for multilingual websites:
- Define the language of the content in each page's HTML code.
- Specify the language code in the URL as well (e.g., "mywebsite.com/fr/mycontent.html").
Structured Data Markup
Google™ supports a number of rich snippets for content types, including: Reviews, People, Products, Businesses and Organizations, Recipes, Events , Videos, and Music. If your website covers one of these topics, then we suggest that you annotate it with Schema.org using microdata.
Domain Availability

Server IP
Server location: Koeln
Your server's IP address has little impact on your SEO. Nevertheless, try to host your website on a server which is geographically close to your visitors. Search engines take the geolocation of a server into account as well as the server speed.
Use DNSstuff for comprehensive reports on your server.
Get to know the technologies used for your website. Some codes might slow down your website. Ask your webmaster to take a look at this.
Web analytics let you measure visitor activity on your website. You should have at least one analytics tool installed, but It can also be good to install a second in order to cross-check the data.
Popular Analytics Tools Include: Google™ Analytics, Quantcast™, AdobeAnalytics™, Piwik™, chartbeat™, Clicky™, ClickTale™, etc.
The Doctype is used to instruct web browsers about the document type being used. For example, what version of HTML the page is written in.
Declaring a doctype helps web browsers to render content correctly.
Great, language/character encoding is specified: UTF-8
Specifying language/character encoding can prevent problems with the rendering of special characters.
Directory Browsing
Great! Your server prevents visitors from browsing your directory by accessing it directly, this is excellent from a security standpoint.
Server Signature
Good, your server signature is off. This is excellent from a security standpoint.

Book cheap car hire in Sicily and discover everything that this famous island has to offer! Pick up a car and you'll be able to start exploring immediately.
Click Here to get a car hire quote
Located in the central Mediterranean at the toe of Italy's boot, Sicily is a major summer tourist destination. It boasts stunning architecture, fantastic cuisine and wines, sunny climate, a rich and varied history, and gorgeous scenery. Tourists from all around the world come to Sicily in the summer to enjoy the sea and sun and to admire the influences of Greek, Roman, and Arab cultures in architecture, food, and trade. By the time you've finished travelling this island, you'll have seen how the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Spaniards and, of course, Italians have all left their mark on this unique destination. If you need some tips, check out our top 5 tourist Sicilian tourist attractions below.
Our head office is open 6 days a week and we also operate a 24 hour back up telephone service. We're open on Bank Holidays too so you can rest assured that we're always here to help!
We work with a range of rental car suppliers so you'll find the perfect vehicle for your Sicilian break whether you need something for a romantic getaway or something larger for the whole family.
Economy Car Hire is never far away to help you get on the road once you've arrived in Sicily, as the airports we cover stretch across the entire island:
Palermo Airport – If you want to explore the north and west of the island, fly to Palermo. Founded in 734BC by the Phoenicians, the island's capital is home to some amazing architecture and spectacular Baroque churches. Palermo Cathedral, San Cataldo's Church, and Chiesa della Martorana are all well worth a visit. Be sure to take a walk along one of Palermo's medieval streets before sampling what's on offer on the stalls of the city's bustling market. Arancini are the popular Sicilian favourite.
Catania Airport – Fly into Catania if you want to visit Sicily's southern and western coasts. The island's second city, Catania stands out for its intellectual and cultured vibe and with its wide streets and simple layout, Catania is certainly calmer than Palermo. While you could spend your entire stay in the city centre itself - there are two lively markets to explore - the Etna Regional Park is just down the road and is home to the gigantic Mount Etna. An eruption by Etna in 1693 completely destroyed Catania and it was rebuilt in a Baroque style using mainly grey lava stone making it an extremely beautiful and unusual city.
Trapani Airport - For something a little different during your stay in Sicily, head to Trapani. A traditional port to the west of the island, this area has been the focus of the majority of Sicily's fishing industry for decades.
If you're a fan of Andrea Camilleri's popular detective, there's much for you to explore in Sicily. Whilst Vigata is fictional and based on Camilleri's home town of Porto Empedocle near Agrigento, Montalbano's beachside house is actually a B&B in Marinella and easily visited.
There are a number of tours available which will guide you through the locations you've seen on TV and give you the opportunity to take in the unique scenery of Sicily. Alternatively, set off with a map and explore the locations at your own leisure.

Omega nebula
It looks like barf.
It looks like barf.
nice done, but i think this one needs sharpness, more sparky and shiny details.
Colours are great, as are the shapes. It needs to be sharpened a bit though imo.
This is the type of nebula that I have trouble making, but you do it so well. Very good work.
That's me with a loose stomach
OwO Pretty.
