While history may remember Conor McGregor's trip to Welterweight as a misadventure it does nothing to diminish his incredible achievements in the UFC so far. Arriving from Cage Warriors as a two-weight champ, McGregor made the step up in competition with ease. Not just stealing the show in the Octagon, but establishing himself as a true star outside of it, making millions of dollars in the process. Such stardom isn't easily created or extinguished.
There will have been plenty of people jumping out of their seats cheering when Nate Diaz forced Conor McGregor to submit in the main event at UFC 196 – and they had a good reason to.
Who knew there was a title fight this weekend? We did, because we know everything. Including the future. #TeamKnee telling it like it is, yet again.

Going Gold with Payroll Giving
Arriva London has been awarded the Gold Payroll Giving Quality Mark this week as even more of the 5000 staff members signed up to Payroll Giving.
With such a diverse workforce it means that over 120 charities benefit, from well-known national or international ones to very local causes.
Payroll Giving has been re-launched in Arriva London this year and underpins its Year Of The Bus celebrations. The initiative encourages employees to give to their chosen charity direct from their payroll which is tax efficient for both employee and charity.
With many more staff signing up each week Arriva London is the largest operator in London to have achieved the gold quality mark.
Caroline Ward, People and Change Manager said: "We are all very proud to have achieved the gold standard, its testament to the hundreds of our staff who take the trouble to support causes close to their hearts. It highlights the importance Arriva London places on working closely with colleagues to support their activities in both the local and wider community."
"A new online employee rewards portal has meant that it's easier for staff to sign up and choose exactly where their money goes. So many people have a good cause to support, payroll giving makes it really simple and we pledge to continue to promote this hopefully achieving the platinum award in 2015."
In addition to publicity and garage roadshows Arriva are holding quarterly draws where four members of staff using payroll giving are picked at random to earn an extra £250 for their chosen charity.
The year will end with an opportunity for a number of staff to promote their chosen charity on top of a bus in The Lord Mayor's Show.

Should Your Ecommerce Website Offer Free Shipping?
It's a fairly frequently debated topic – should your ecommerce website offer free shipping to its customers?
In reality, there's no simple 'yes' or 'no' answer. However, in the interest of actually answering the question that we pose here, I say that YES, your ecommerce website should offer free shipping to its customers. (A small caveat to include as an after note is that you should; as long as it is commercially viable. It would be rather silly to offer free shipping for an item for which a customer pays £10, but that costs you £10 to ship, that doesn't make good business sense… at all, not unless you know that customer will go on to generate significant profits for you over their lifetime as a customer.)
Now onto a little more detail… there's a level of psychology behind the free shipping offering that triggers the 'bargain-hunter' in all of us. Let's face it, there's a big part of ecommerce that is about finding the best price for a specific product that you have decided to purchase. And in many cases, we're not too worried about the shipping cost itself, it's the overall cost that makes the difference, particularly on larger (say £70+) purchases, where the shipping fee is usually a much smaller proportion of the order value.
But if we look more closely at a typical smaller (sub £70) purchase, the psychology of the shipping fee really comes into play. There's something about the shipping fee that makes buyers feel like they are wasting their money. After all, what do they get for their £3, £4 or £5? Why should they pay retailers to have the privilege of selling to them? Now we know there are valid and justified answers to these questions, but rightly or wrongly, that doesn't change the fact that this is how a large majority of consumers feel. In offering free shipping, buyers feel like you are giving them value, showing them that you value their business. I would be very interested to see any research on the subject that studies this in more depth – for example, all else being equal, would buyers opt for the online shop that offers a cheaper product price but charges shipping, or would they choose the online shop that gives free shipping but a slightly higher product price. Both ultimately cost the buyer the same, but would the psychology of free shipping come into play here? I'd like to see.
Research published by Econsultancy in April in the Ecommerce Statistics Compendium demonstrate just how important free shipping is to online shoppers. One particular study looked at website features which make shoppers more of less likely to use an online store. 82% of shoppers were reported to be more likely to use a store that offered free shipping. 82%!! That number is pretty epic. Second to this was a price promise, resulting in 72% of buyers more likely to use the store. Clearly, regardless of why a buyer chooses to shop online in the first place (convenience, lifestyle, choice & variety etc.), it appears that the online shopper is still ultimately price sensitive. It does make sense – knowledge is power and the internet and comparison sites give the online buyer a wealth of knowledge within a couple of clicks.
So what can we take from this discussion? Give free shipping a try! I'm not saying it's the answer to all your ecommerce questions, but take a look at how you can use free shipping to increase your ecommerce sales. At what basket value can you afford to offer free shipping? Avon does a great job of getting shoppers to part with more of their hard-earned ££ per purchase by setting a threshold basket value to qualify for free shipping. If you're a high volume, low product value business, this could be a delightfully simple way of improving your average order values.

According to my son (11), Milwaukee's Lake Park was rated as the 8th best place in the U.S. to go hunting. I have googled it and have not found any absolute verification of the fact, but if my son says it, it must be true.
Here's what I know. Last Thursday night, I took 4 of the kids to go hunting with me and it was nuts. After finding a parking spot, I got out and saw the path that goes along the lake crowded with hundreds of people, all looking at their phones. They were not there for a formal event. Rather, they were out to capture virtual creatures in virtual balls. There were families, vendors selling their "unofficial" wares, grandparents, kids, and real animals walking the path. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like it.
Walking the path, there were several Pokéstops all appropriately "lured" and the little buggers were everywhere. About every ten minutes you'd see an ever growing crowd of people running in the same direction as shouts of "Charmander" or "Snorlax" could be heard. At first I was laughing at everyone, but before I knew it, I was caught up in the action, looking for that "rare" or "legendary" Pokémon.
Beyond the searching, I'd find my kids talking to others about what they had as they shared the contents of their Pokédex with each other.
We wandered around for about three hours, when, at 10 O'clock, the park closed and we loaded up the van and went home.
If you're coming to WordCamp Milwaukee, and play Pokémon GO, I highly recommend you check out Lake Park. It's a beautiful walk by a beautiful lake, and the sense of community you'll experience is not at all dissimilar to that of the WordPress Community.

Rachel Howard
Biography | Download pdf (EN) | Download pdf (DE)
Howard sees all painting as a whole, without division, as she instinctively oscillates between both categories, utilising them in equal measure to explore the full emotive potential of her medium.
Attending a Quaker school, the questions that unsettled Howard during her childhood included 'if God made me, then who made God?', the essence of which remains anchored in her work. Her paintings are sublime, which according to Kant's Critique of Judgement is: 'an object […] devoid of form, so far as it immediately involves […] a representation of limitlessness, yet with a super-added thought of its totality.' As such, Howard's work is total and limitless; it allows us to grasp a part of human existence that cannot be seen but only felt.
In 1995 the artist began utilising common household gloss paint—at times layered with oil or acrylic—leaving the medium to separate in the can so that the colour pigment sinks beneath a layer of thick, sumptuous varnish. The clear gloss and pure colour are then worked upon the canvas separately in a highly specific manner; with gravity assuming the role of the paintbrush, the varnish is applied so that it drags the pigment down the canvas, giving way to its own weight and tracing a fluid path of movement. The mark making that results from gravity's action is then allowed to dry before the next layer is added. It is precisely this process that lends a sculptural or even architectural quality to these paintings, as they are constructed, built, developed and layered.
The early abstracts use vast expanses of colour with bands of pigment and varnish running up against each other, merging and yet retaining their precise distinction. Subsequent bodies of work include the Sin Paintings, exhibited at the Bohen Foundation (New York, 2003), where each of the seven works represents one of the deadly sins, with luminous layers of red paint oozing and streaking as if the canvas is bleeding, this liquid seemingly seeping through or receding to reveal an embedded cruciform image; the Suicide Paintings of 2007-8, which explore themes of death and release, as the dark forms of faceless hanging figures almost float within an endlessly deep space; the Repetition is Truth-Via Dolorosa series, exhibited at the Museo MADRE (Naples, 2011), which explores both the pursuit of pure truth and also the essence of human cruelty, responding to the torturous imagery from the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, published by the media in 2004; and Folie à Deux (2011), which considers the sensitivity of perception and the potential for madness, as commonplace objects and human bodies seem to morph into something else when viewed through the veil of a surreal and unsettled gaze.
Her most-recent series of large and smaller scale paintings explore the idiosyncratic qualities of oil paint, unpicking the accepted rules of engagement with this most traditional of mediums. Howard explores the reverie associated with oil, and in a process of applying and then removing paint creates a palimpsest. The viewer thus experiences the final moment in the painting process, but one that also feels in flux. The trace of the artist's hand in the paintings is subtly perceivable, and Howard describes how the surfaces, 'have a disintegration about them; everything is falling apart, atomised'. With only hints of colour characterising the palette of the canvases – gentle iterations of yellow, red and green – the line becomes the primary active element in each composition; emerging and submerging, appearing and fading, rising and falling.
A resounding potency of colour characterises each of Rachel Howard's works, and yet it is not precisely colour that interests her, but instead the emotional charge of how paint is applied to a canvas—the state of mind and body which might be inscribed into a work through one's expressionist application of the paint. Scale, space and depth are also notably important to the impact of these works, conveying either a sense of the sublime and limitless, as if we were confronting something vast and expansive, or indeed a sense of enclosed isolation, expressing how small and lost we might feel wandering within a world so big.
Howard was born in County Durham in 1969 and graduated from Goldsmiths College, London, in 1991. She was awarded the Princes Trust Award in 1992 to support her art practice, was shortlisted for the Jerwood Drawing Prize in 2004 and received the British Council Award in 2008.

Matthew Hamilton says:
The dead boy died during Obama's reign as a result of Obama's failed policies. So why place his body on Trump's desk?
because trump's failed immigration policy, like all of his policies, will result in countless deaths and misery. he won't have just one dead boy on his desk but thousands.
and your use of 'reign' is stupid.
Frank says:
Didn't Trump given an executive order to cease funding providers of abortion overseas? Isn't that an example of one policy that will result in fewer deaths? Yet you claim that "all of his policies, will result in countless deaths and misery."
show evidence how abortions are lessened just because of presidential executive orders.
Frank says:
Can you show evidence that "all" of Trump's policies will result in countless deaths and misery? You did write "all". Not only do you now know what policies he will implement throughout the duration of his Presidency, but you have no way of knowing what impact those policies will have. I've read your blog for a while, and you are very quick to criticise people who misuse language – and rightly so. So why is it ok for you to make hyperbolic statements of "fact" about an unknown future? You could however, if you were so inclined, provide evidence for the many who have died because of some of Obama's policies, particularly in relation to Libya, Iraq and Syria.
you first.
Frank says:
I humbly acknowledge that I can't provide evidence for what may or may not happen for the future. So in relation to the policy of withdrawing funds to overseas abortion providers, I can only speculate that this will most likely reduce abortions. Bill Clinton and Obama both supported the policy of giving money to overseas abortion providers so I can only assume that they thought by doing so, it would give women more opportunities to have abortions. I certainly would prefer a policy intended to reduce abortion than one intended to make it easier.
Now it's your turn. I was only speculating about the future impact of one policy, but you were making claims about the future impact of "all" Trump's policies. So can you please explain how you know that "all" of Trump's policies (including policies he hasn't issued yet) will result in countless deaths and misery.
plenty- he's already harmed over 60,000 people with his illegal travel ban. source- the news. he's already killed in yemen. sourse- the news. check out some news outlet besides one owned by murdoch. they're all reporting on his constant misdeeds

Treatment of Lupus Nephritis
- First Online:

The treatment of lupus nephritis has evolved over the past few decades. Standard practice is to define the first 6 months of therapy as an induction phase, during which the goal of therapy is to achieve renal remission, usually with bolus intravenous infusions of the cytotoxic cyclophosphamide or the immunosuppressant mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). Following induction, therapy is continued, with some decrease in aggressive dosing for a more prolonged period of time—typically 24 months—that is aimed at preventing renal flares and smoldering disease, which could lead to continuous deterioration of renal function. During maintenance, the usual therapeutic option is immunosuppression with MMF or azathioprine. In recent years, MMF has been increasingly replacing intravenous cyclophosphamide as an initial standard of care. The current paper reviews data on these treatment strategies and suggests a possible treatment algorithm for clinical care.

HEALTH CONDITIONS LINKED TO VAG (Public Forum)
dyspareunia - no answers
I'm hoping that there is someone out there who can relate to me because i feel so alone and scared and like i don't belong anywhere.
I've had test after test and even surgery to try and find out the cause of the pain i feel during intercourse and after seeing a doctor yesterday was told that they don't know whats causing it.
They said its nothing physical and not vaginismus because i can actually have intercourse.
They said with medical advancements they may know the cause in 10 -15 years but for now i'm to take anti-depressants, painkillers and attend counselling. I feel like they all think i'm being a wimp or making it up, only my finacee knows the pain is real because unfortunately he's the one that inflicts it. He feels awful and i feel awful and it's really getting on top of me.
I feel like a fraud posting this message here as i've been told theres no way its vaginismus, but since i don't know what it is i don't know where else to go.
I just wanted to know if there was anyone else like me and what they do to help themselves. The doc told me to be more positive, but that's easy to say and harder to do.
I am frightened to have sex, but have been told in order to rule different conditions out, i've got to try the medication and then try having sex. I'm on a waiting list for counselling.
We don't need sex to feel like we love each other but its been going on for so long i'm just so fed up.
Sorry if it sounds like i'm wingeing but i'm so frustrated. I just wanted to be told yes its this...., so to fix it do this...
Hello and welcome here..
yes, what you have is related to vaginismus very much so
you're not in the wrong place although we may recommend you
also joined a forum that dealt with dyspareunia/ painful intercourse
Now, i need to say straight away..
doctors are NOBODY to tell you that you HAVE TO try sex.
If you're scared stiff right now and you've had enough of pain
down there, just STOP and screw them.
You can always try the medicine and attempt sex at a later stage,
when YOU feel like it..
I'm REALLY glad you have a supporting, understanding partner.
If you dont need intercourse, as many here would relate to,
then just stop having it for a while till your vagina has time to heal,
at least emotionally.
As for not being vaginismus, sure, but if you keep attempting intercourse,
vaginismus can then develop .
It'd be secondary vaginismus, but still, you dont want to have that
to then deal with too.
ANother reason why you should listen to your body and if you're scared
and don't need intercourse right now, just stop, give yourself a break.
It is true that painful intercourse or vaginas that hurt even during the day, when nothing is touching them, is still a new branch of gynaecology
so a lot still needs to be understood.
For the time being, since nobody is still an expert on this,
I can just recommend you read our pages on the website
on the differences between vulvodynia, vaginismus and dyspareunia,
just to get the terms right (but sorry if you do already, then skip that!)
Then you MAY want to have a look at your diet..
It never hurts to cut down on refined foods and animal products
and get checked for intolerances..
But most of all, if the pain is "only" during i/c,
I can't stress enough how important it is to stop having it for a while
and try to focus on other issues/hobbies/passions in your life...
sorry we can't be of much help...
keep in touch if you wish.
Welcome, Shem!
I'm so sorry you're having such a frustrating time figuring out how to feel better. Wow, you've even been through surgery. That must have been hard.
I hope your private parts will get a break, as our admin says. Your poor private parts!

|Re: apache or tomcat
|Tue, 05 Feb 2002 16:22:56 GMT
My feeling is that if you have much static content and are able to get the connectors working easily, use apache, otherwise use only tomcat. An advantage of using tomcat as a web server is that you have only one server to setup, configure and consume resources instead of two. If most of your site is dynamic, your requests are pretty much just passing through apache on their way to tomcat anyway and that is a delay. One thing that I'm a little concerned about is the performance difference of apache/ssl and tomcat/ssl. I have no reason to doubt tomcat/ssl, I just don't know how mature it is compared to apache/ssl (I know, it's really JSSE right?). From the doc, it appears generating a certificate request for VeriSign and installing it is not too difficult, but until I've done it, I'm worried about that too. I am in the process of moving several iPlanet/JRun sites to only tomcat. I tried for weeks to get mod_webapp built on my environment with no success. I have given up hope now but will probably look back in a few months and see if things got any better. I didn't want to look into mod_jk since that connector seems to be on the way out (I don't want to spend the time learning something that already has a replacement). I decided that since at least 95% of our sites are dynamic anyway, I will use only tomcat. One final point, if you want to use other applications that are cgi-bin, then you definitely need apache. I have this situation on a couple of my sites and that is why I will continue to monitor the develoment of the connectors. Lloyd Gang Wu wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm choosing between 2 solutions. > 1.

All born yesterday. Poppy's labour lasted all night and was not without its problems but she has nine lovely live and very active piglets and they are feeding almost non stop. The piglets are still on lock down so the only image of them I have is from the monitor.
But here is Lady Astor with her baby. Born yesterday at lunchtime. I saw her looking uncomfortable – moved all the other cows out of the field she was in, she lay down as I walked away and within about 30 minutes we had a little bull calf.
It was a beautiful comparitively warm day so they hung out in the field, baby got up soon after birth and was drinking shortly after that, while I dealt with the milking set up. I had everything ready just not all put together.
Then I walked the baby all the way to the barn with Mama close behind.
It all went quite well considering my deep sleep deprivation. Adrenalin goes a long way.
Later I milked Lady – her udder is so big and swollen and engorged, it was no fun for her. But it was getting impossible for the calf to latch on and very painful for the cow.
Here is that rather gruesome sci fi image of Poppy and her crowd of babies.
I milked again this morning at five am in a massive dark thunder and lightening storm. The weather was very, very loud and the rain was coming down in sheets.
To alert the sows to my arrival (the sows and their babies, and Lady and her calf are in the barn where the milking room is), I put the soft milking music on, the phone tucked into my pocket, so they could hear me coming and going and moving about. With the milking music and the rain and the pump chugging away and Lady mooing to her calf: the sows joined in with their feeding chorus, grunting for their piglets to come out for a drink, and the piglets began to squeal and it became very noisy in the barn at one point.
It is 7.58 now. I am cleaned up and back up to the house. The workers are outside doing chores. I am having my second coffee. The ground is waterlogged. We had way too much rain last night and more coming this evening. It is going to be a soggy day. I am thinking of loading everyone up into the truck and off we go to get feed and supplies. Best use of a rainy day.
Merciful heavens yesterday was crazy. It all happened at once but we have all forty feet on the ground. And soon we will have milk!
Have a lovely day.
Weather says more rain.

Cabins are rustic- but equipped with everything you need: well-equipped kitchen with gas stove and fridge and lights and hand pumped water at the sink, books and games. Beds so very comfy! Little wood stove kept the cabin cozy. Great hiking, fishing, swimming, canoeing, kayaking right outside your door.

If you're involved in civic leadership for a while, it's likely you'll have to handle a full-blown crisis or two. Here's how to think about crises and what you can do to manage them . . . before they're upon you.
Lesson Six: The Secret of Government Success
We live in a country that believes power is best exercised by a herd and not a shepherd. So for reporters to learn how government works, they must be good at seeing and reporting on collaboration. Here's how to do that and, along the way, discover what makes some governments succeed.
The Art of the Ask
In an age of collaboration, a key leadership skill is asking others to do things, and getting them to do these things . . . again and again. Here's how to ask effectively.
How Collaboration Happens
If collaboration is such a good thing in localities, why don't more governments work together? Because most leaders don't know how to create the conditions for collaboration. Here, then, is the introductory course.
The Seedbed of Civic Involvement
If you want strong local leaders and involved citizens in the future, start today by helping people find one another and get organized for any legitimate purpose. Then be patient. The good news: Cities are good at helping people make connections. With a little effort, they could be great.
