Adoro te devote, latens Deitas, quae sub his figuris vere latitas: tibi se cor meum totum subjicit, quia te contemplans totum deficit. *** Godhead here in hiding, whom I do adore, Masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more, See, Lord, at thy service low lies here a heart, Lost, all lost in wonder at the God thou art.

100 Book Meme
Basically, the idea is to bold the books you've read and highlight the books you'd like to read. And per my usual style...commentary will accompany some of the selections.
1.Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen - I'm neutral on this one. It's a classic I've never read but I think I can live my life without reading it.
2. The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien - But I saw the movies!
3. Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
4. Harry Potter series - JK Rowling
5. To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee - I LOVE THIS BOOK! Read it on my own and then had to read it in a class in High School...and have read it again several times since.
6. The Bible – maybe not all, but at least MOST! I do think I've read the entire thing by now, though.
7. Wuthering Heights - mostly neutral on this one, but think I should read it "just because"
8. Nineteen Eighty Four - George Orwell
9. His Dark Materials - Phillip Pullman - I have no need to read transparent atheist anti-Catholic propaganda.
10. Great Expectations - Charles Dickens
11. Little Women - Louisa M Alcott
12. Tess of the D'Urbervilles - Thomas Hardy – I saw parts of this made into a movie...was bored. Can't imagine how boring the book must be!
13. Catch 22 - Joseph Heller I read this but can't remember anything about it.
14. Complete Works of Shakespeare - I've read many of his works, so bolding, but would desire to read them all.
15. Rebecca - Daphne Du Maurier – I think I read this...I'm not sure!
16. The Hobbit - JRR Tolkien – I read this in college, and had a hard time getting through it. It was a good story, but the style seemed somewhat dry to me...it's the reason I haven't tackled Lord of the Rings.
17. Birdsong - Sebastian Faulks
18. Catcher in the Rye - JD Salinger
19. The Time Traveller's Wife -
20. Middlemarch - George Eliot
21. Gone With The Wind - Margaret Mitchell

100.The Outsiders
I have to wonder at the absence of GK Chesterton and some other authors. Is there a list of 100 CATHOLIC books out there? Or general Christianity? That would be an interesting Meme...must research. If none exists...maybe must create!

I think that 100 books by Saints would be a good one. Embarrassing to do - at least for me - but enlightening.

- ignorant redneck said...
I'm better equiped to list 100 books that messed up my head,
- Tuesday, August 19, 2008
What about THE GIVER. That is by far my favorite junior high book. I think because it was so abstract, and few of my classmates understood it.
- Thursday, August 21, 2008
The Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan by Fr. John Hardon - Has a list of authors and books. It is older and out of print so it doesn't have recent authors(I think it are 104 authors). You can buy it from this site.

Admitting You're Wrong And Queerness
Whoop, talking about people being jerks to queer people, here's an escape link and a fold.
Hey, let's talk about about believing the idea that kids change genders as a fashion trend.
Now I'm not talking about that idea itself. There's this like, nested set of expanding-brain memes, about how gender doesn't work that way, but maybe it should, but I'm not talking about this. I'm talking about believing this idea. And the reason people believe these silly things is often because they're not very good at accepting their own ability to be wrong about things.
We have, in general, a mechanism in our head for accepting wrongness. We don't do it well. It's easier to sort of massage our mindsets, to pretend we weren't wrong rather than come around to the painful moment of I was wrong. What you're more likely to see as a brain goes through these adjustments is a process that goes through:
- Well both sides have points
- I never thought to the contrary
- This isn't a big deal
Now how this applies to your own life, based on this? If you're a cis adult in most of the societies like mine, which includes Canada, America, England and Australia, and hey, you can tell me if you live someplace similar, if you're in that situation, you probably have no trans friends – not just that you know of, you probably have none, because trans people tend to avoid people they can't trust like all people do. If you have two trans friends, you are in the minority, and statistically, you're more likely to have four or five than just two.
What this means is that for a lot of people, the people without trans friends around them, they are going to view trans people like iguanas on leashes. Sure, you can accept they might exist, they don't fly in the face of what can be done, but they're not part of your normal. What's more is that trans people are not necessarily part of your perspective but that doesn't mean they're not part of your life. You might know some without being aware of their trans status, or, really sadly, you might know some who cut off contact with you because they don't think they can trust you.
When you're presented with evidence that your normal is wrong, you react to it by trying to do things to restore your vision of normal. That's when your brain does the thing and tries to reject this new information in some way. Now, any given trans person has heard this before – they get asked questions like have you tried not being trans? Which is pretty silly. It's a question you'd reject on its face – have you tried not being heavier than air? But because the person you're dealing with hasn't got a structure for what that means in their head, they're asking you can you restore my normal?
This is culturally reinfored too, where even when we make mistakes we're encouraged to draw middle ground, to say 'well we're both silly.' And that's because it's an attempt to outsource the failure, to reduce the sting of our brains going 'hang on.'
So what do you do? How do you accept 'Oh I wasn't paying attention to, and kind of being an asshole about, genders?' Well, in the case of this idea of 'genders as fashion,' you get the notion that it's more likely that it is a fad because it's more reasonable to you that kids try silly things for no good reason and that nobody would seriously want to be trans in any number. It is all, at root, a struggle against the feeling that we can be wrong, and an attempt to make that wrongness something else.
Cultivate the ability to admit you're wrong. It makes a lot of things better for you and for the people around you

You have 10 little fingers and, I presume hidden under the swaddle, 10 little toes, and I like you very much.
You stretch your arms a lot while you're in my arms. You're in my arms, your dad's manning the grilled onions, your mom's opening a bag of chips and my wife is asking what she can do.
Hi, Simon. You're two weeks old. Your head is squishy and you always look pissed off. You stretch and wave your arms like you're cheering an invisible football team. And I'm going to know you for the rest of my life. » Read the rest of this entry «

Game Changer Guest: Luke Wade
BIS TechCon 2016 will take place between November 29 through to December 2 at the Embassy Suites, Frisco, Dallas. We've already lined up a number of special guests for the conference and our latest guest was born and raised in Erath County, Texas. This individual comes from a talented family although in his childhood he nearly died from first meningitis and later severe heat stroke. A paintballing accident ruined a promising career as a dancer but unperturbed, our special guest instead turned to music. He, together with his band, released an album in 2010. Followed by another in early 2014. That same year, he made it to The Voice season 7 quarterfinals having been mentored by coach Pharrell Williams. In the summer of 2016, he is touring with Edwin McCain, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Kris Allen and Casey Abrams.
He is, of course, Luke Wade. The renowned soul singer from Dublin, Texas! Luke will be joining us at our closing session at the conference sharing a number of his favorite songs.

text: Ross Marquand showed off his celebrity impersonation skills on set of "Jimmy Kimmel Live." "The Walking Dead" actor took to the stage Wednesday night at host Kimmel's request for an improv challenge and delivered impersonations of Justin Timberlake, Sylvester Stallone, Christopher Walken and more. Marquand, 34, started off the brief segment with a spot-on impersonation of actor Matthew McConaughey and a quick reference to his film "Interstellar," before moving on to others including John C. Reilly, Kevin Spacey and Christian Bale. Before his breakout role on "The Walking Dead," Marquand appeared as Paul Newman in AMC's "Mad Men." He is also a voiceover actor who has been heard on such programs as Phineas & Ferb and Conan.

Maybe you mean: 'posters-please' or 'posters-please30' or 'day-after' or 'second-chance-posters-slider' or 'consign-now' or 'post-auction'
There are some images that remain indelibly fixed in the collective conscience, and of course, posters have contributed heavily to our visual memories and associations. This staying power could be due to a particularly innovative treatment of the subject matter, or a terrific artistic hand, or even a paired-down design that allows you to see the subject in a new light. Our February 23 auction presents a large number of masterpieces—Art Nouveau, Art Deco, ornate, minimal, revolutionary, introspective, and jubilant—and they're all exquisite.
53 1/2 x 38 1/2 in./136 x 97.8 cm
Est: $25,000-$30,000
Acclaimed as one of the world's greatest posters, this image of a flame-tressed sylph, propelled among the stars by the Gladiator and its winged pedals, has been appropriated throughout culture ever since its debut in 1895. Shockingly, it remains anonymous, despite the presence of the faint initials L.W. in the lower right corner.
19 1/8 x 29 1/2 in./48.6 x 75 cm
Est: $4,000-$5,000
In the 1920s, automobiles were still too unreliable to undertake spontaneous road trips or long adventures. But in Philibert's design, a carefree Bibendum enjoys a starlit drive with his trademark cigar alit. He turns to us with a gesture that insinuates the safety and joy of cruising with Michelin equipment. Strikingly, a Bibendum twin sits behind the wheel—a rare duplicity in the company's long history of posters. And this design, too, is rare!
23 x 31 in./58.5 x 78.8 cm
Est: $20,000-$25,000
"Bonnard was just 24 when he made his first foray into lithography and poster design, but his initial effort, France-Champagne, was a stunning success. The great poster connoisseur, Maindron, immediately called it 'one of the most interesting works to be seen on the walls of Paris.' It created a marked contrast to Chéret's colorful fairyland: it was sparse and subtle, making the most of a few strokes of black against a muted yellow and pink background, with ingenious composition and fluid lettering. Some saw in it the first major advance in the art of poster-size prints since the work of Daumier a generation earlier" (Wine Spectator, 57). Jane Abdy adds the interesting note: "He received a hundred francs for this ebullient design, in which the froth of the champagne foams like a bubble bath. Toulouse-Lautrec so admired it in the hoardings that he sought an introduction to Bonnard, and the two artists were intrigued by each other's talents. Bonnard took Toulouse-Lautrec to Ancourt, his printers" (Abdy, p. 90).
29 3⁄4 x 41 1⁄2 in./75.5 x 105.5 cm
Est: $17,000-$20,000.
The North Star was the name of a Paris-to-Amsterdam express; Cassandre gave it glamour by catching the purely sensual enjoyment of rail travel: the rhythm of the wheels, the fascination of the endless perspectives of converging tracks, and the North Star itself. A truly mesmerizing achievement.
51 x 77 5/8 in./129.7 x 197 cm
Est: $40,000-$50,000
There's nothing that uncommon about seeing commedia dell'arte characters or extravagant court stereotypes in advertisements for student balls. In fact, we've seen these elements time and time again in virtually all of our auctions. What is astonishingly rare, however, is to find an uncommon Art Deco masterpiece created by one of that genre's virtuosos that employs such exquisite artistry to promote a rather standard event. It transforms every on-poster persona—from courtesan to clown to capitano—into a vibrant objet d'art, a blanched member of a tableau vivant representing merrymaking at its most sophisticated. In all of his poster-related work, Dupas presents highly stylized, very fashionable people from the very fringes of our imagination, occupants of the realm that exists in the split second before true wakefulness alchemizes into peaceful slumber with gorgeous quasi-humans with Modigliani necks in idealized and extravagant settings. His women are statuesque in a nearly literal sense. And to the contemporary eye, they appear, in fact, as monuments to a natural extension of a time and place when all was glitter and sophistication, like so many head-turning mannequins in the chic 1920 window of our psyche.
29 3/4 x 43 3/8 in./75.4 x 110 cm
Est: $7,000-$9,000
Over the course of his career, Hohlwein would produce numerous designs for Marco Polo tea, all presenting the Orient with jewel-toned, dignified exoticism. In this particularly rare image, the product appears almost secondary. Instead, the visage of the Other stares out at the viewer, as if pondering whether or not we are good enough for the product and not the other way around. A defiant and bold artistic choice.
15 1/4 x 30 in./38.8 x 76.2 cm
Est: $30,000-$40,000
Flight is considered to be Kauffer's most significant work. It is also his chief contribution to the Vorticist movement, marks the first issue of the Daily Herald, and represents the hopes and ambitions in the postwar "Reconstruction" period. The first version of this design appeared in Colour magazine in 1917, where it accompanied a call for design submissions. In 1918, Kauffer adapted the design for a poster that was sold to an advertiser for 50 dollars, who then resold the poster to Francis Meynell, who organized the Daily Herald's campaign launch. He captioned this poster "Soaring to Success, the Early Bird," and called it "a flight of birds that might almost be a flight of aeroplanes; a symbol, in those days of hope, of the unity of useful invention and natural things" (Kauffer, p. 18). As Kauffer stated in 1950: "The design Flight was not invented in a studio. It came after much observation of birds in flight… Birds in flight and aeroplane formations are singularly alike. The arrowhead thrust is the dominant motif. But wings have a contrary movement—so this too has to be considered…" (Kauffer, p. 17). The success of this poster is, in part, due to his astute observance of nature—but it's also admired for its innovative composition and form. The much larger three-sheet poster is in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London; this smaller version is in the collection of the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum and was donated by Mrs. Edward McKnight Kauffer.
29 1/2 x 41 in./75 x 104.2 cm
Est: $8,000-$10,000
One of the finest travel posters ever created—Lauro's Art Deco masterpiece perfects a vision of Trouville's boardwalk as the place to see and be seen in the 1920s. With the famed Casino in the background, every detail here is perfect: from the beauty mark on the foremost flapper's cheek, to the exaggerated hat-doffing of the gentleman, to the whiplash of two college lads, one éminence grise, and a German Shepherd—even to the au courant stylings of the women's footwear. All things contribute to the chic, dynamic, head-turning ambiance of France's first resort town, a favorite of Monet, Flaubert, Proust, and Duras—now thoroughly fashioned as a place for the Great Gatsby to make an appearance. The artist, Lauro, is also known for his Le Rire caricatures and film posters.
35 1/4 x 50 1/2 in./89.5 x 128.5 cm
Est: $12,000-$15,000
Loupot loved to design posters for soap, and this image is one of his first forays into that particular subject of advertising. "This is an opportunity for him to indulge in a singular decorative composition, with this woman at the toilet and her astonishing expression of wide-eyed surprise, the upper body naked and the bottom dressed in a puffy tulle dress with volatile frills like soap suds, which extend as long as necessary to house the lettering. In a formula that Loupot often retained at the time, the figured part of the image is reserved for the upper third of the available surface" (Loupot/Forney, p. 58).

This sensuous, unencumbered design is perhaps one of the most provocative newspaper promotions ever created. A larger-than-life nude basks by the seaside, her head reclining into the trees, her pose orgiastic, the earth beneath her fertile. The sun, anthropomorphized, gazes upon her either with longing or wonder. Is she Eve, relishing in sin? Or is she Gaea, giving birth to all the landscapes and creatures of Earth? We may never know, but Mataloni's two-sheet design for the daily newspaper Il Mattino is a remarkable example of Italian Art Nouveau tinged with Jugendstil—and an artist's visision of unbridled dynamism. Rare!!

L'Estampe et l'Affiche was probably the most influential publication in the field of color lithography in France at the turn of the century and, under the editorship of André Mellerio, it did much to encourage poster art in the brief period of its existence. In an article in the magazine announcing the publication of this poster, the critic Crauzat is full of praise for it, indicating that its clear tones and design show the artist to be a master of decorative effect. As far away as London, The Poster magazine also lauded the work: "On the green summit of a cliff, two women—one lying down and the other sitting—giving a back view of themselves, look far away into the dying perspective of the ocean. Their dresses, respectively red and blue, give two beautiful contrasting notes to the ambient tonalities. Mountains encircle the bay, the calmness of which is disturbed only by the modulated swing of a smack. The colours are cleverly harmonised, and the light line of water produces a very good effect" (June 1898, p. 28). This is the rare version with complete text.

There is a delicacy of expression on the faces of both the viewer and the dancer that elevates this extraordinary design far beyond the standard theatrical poster. This gifted German artist could be one of the poster collector's favorites, if only there were some more posters of his to collect. He did only a few, and all of those, printed in very small quantities, are so rare that most poster enthusiasts never come across them. A cultured, sophisticated painter, Schnackenberg did most of his poster work for acquaintances in Munich theatrical circles. His designs are a quaint amalgam of caricature and fantasy which he himself called "suggestive dreams." With an unerring instinct for color, and an exquisitely refined taste of subtle irony, he created a body of work that is uniquely individualistic—small but choice.

The text here promotes the opening tour of the Chat Noir's resident performers, boasting a "highly illustrious troupe" presenting shadow plays, poetry readings, and songs. Incredibly popular when first unveiled to the public, the basic image was worked into a number of different formats and text arrangements. This represents the initial printing of the "Prochainement" poster; later, after Rodolphe Salis fell ill and was unable to perform with the company, the "avec" preceding his name was replaced with "de," both as a tip-on and in a new edition of the poster. This is the smaller format.

Are there maple, birch or oak trees around your garden landscape? Do you find it very difficult to clear the dead leaves that fall on your garden? If you are wondering as to how to get rid of these dead leaves easily without much effort, then you need to buy a popular gardening tool called the leaf blower.
Are you wondering as to what this garden leaf blower is? Then read on. A leaf blower is a machine that can get rid of the shed leaves you find spread all over your garden. It is not just a use once machine, but it can serve you all year round.
They are handy during summers as they can blow away deck sands and help in clearing walkways and decks during windy season. They even have the ability to get rid of light snow.
Types of leaf blowers
There are plenty of different types of leaf blowers you will find in the market. The main types are corded electric, battery-operated and gasoline powered machines. These machines are offered in a variety of styles, right from handheld units to backpack units as well as wheeled models for heavy duty debris cleaning.
It becomes pretty tough for an average person to buy the right kind of machine for his or her garden. Let's take a closer look at all the popular types of leaf blowers and tips to choose the best brand of leaf blowers.
Corded electric blowers
The corded electric blowers are lightweight and are designed for single hand use. They usually weigh about 8 pounds. This blower can be easily started with a push start button and it does produce much noise when it is working. You will get the power of a handheld gas blower from this machine.
It will be more than enough if you have to clear debris from 100 feet of garden or patio or walkways. The corded electric leaf blower's main problem is that it offers limited mobility due to the cord. It can be a big problem if it tangles around trees or other obstacles. The unit may cost from $30 to $100.
Cordless electric blowers
The cordless electric leaf blowers are gaining a lot of popularity among home gardeners who have less amount of garden area to be cleared. This unit is also lightweight and easily maneuverable, since it does not come with cord attachment, it can be used easily.
The main problem here is that it lacks the power of other machines and will work only till the rechargeable batteries last. It lasts for about an hour for a full charge. This unit is available from anywhere between $150 and $300.
Gas-powered handheld blowers
If you are looking for a decent leaf blower with good power and also without a power cord, then gas powered handheld blowers are the best option. These units are a bit noisy, but offer you a decent amount of power and hence debris cleaning will finish quickly.
You will have to pull the chord to start the engine and they also need to be periodically tuned. They also have a smoke exhaust and need gasoline to run. Most of the handheld models come with a two-stroke engine, but there are models that come with powerful 4-stroke engine.
They normally weigh about 10 pounds and the 4-stroke models will weigh more. The handheld gas blowers come in the price bracket of $90 to $220.
Gas-powered backpack blowers
They offer great power and helps in quick and easy clearing of leaf debris in your garden. These machines weigh about 17 pounds or more. They can be carried on your back and shoulders and hence it is very convenient to use and carry.
They are very noisy and also will throw out polluted air when they perform their debris clearing duty. You need gasoline and oil to start and run this machine. It costs in the price range of $160 to $480.
Gas-powered wheeled blowers
If you are having a huge garden area to clear, then the best option is to invest in gas-powered wheeled blowers. They come with large four-stroke engine. The machine does not need the fuel and oil mix to start and run.
They are very heavy and weigh around 100 pounds. They are very expensive and are also noisy. It is recommended only for commercial use. The machine costs from $300 to $800.

Non-canon warning: This article or section contains information that may not be considered an official part of the Metroid series in the overall storyline by Nintendo.
The Shooting Star Flip Kick is a variant of the Flip Jump down move used by Zero Suit Samus in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. It is unlockable at random. This variant of the Flip Jump is more powerful in terms of damage dealt, but it is more difficult to land hits with this attack.
The flip part of the move deals no damage to enemies, but pressing the attack button will propel Zero Suit Samus down to perform a sharp kick. It is not capable of burying opponents, unlike the regular Flip Jump. Zero Suit Samus is propelled at a more horizontal angle, but covers less horizontal distance. The stomp of the Shooting Star Flip Kick deals 8% damage, a clean kick deals 17%, and a late kick deals 14%. The move is similar to the Feint Jump, the down special move of the Mii Brawler.
- "The flip itself doesn't attack, but press the button again to do a descending kick."
Prima Official Game Guide[edit | edit source]
Kick 14~17%
In this move, the flip itself does not attack. Pressing the button again does a dive kick attack that deals significant damage.

Jezebel ran a story today that involved the historical narrative of Rosa Parks. I noticed a few comments that refer to a rather simplistic and reductive view of who she was — a version often found in textbooks, including mine as a child.
I can't tell whether it's because Rosa was black or a woman or both but some historical accounts want to reduce and dilute her role in the civil rights movement to a solitary incident.
Here are some debunked common myths about Rosa Parks and her arrest.
*Rosa Parks wasn't old. She was 42 at the time.
*Rosa Parks was not just a seamstress but she also worked for her local NAACP chapter.
*The bus driver asked her to move, not the white passenger.
*Rosa Parks didn't confront the white passenger and tell him off.
*She was not sitting at the front of the bus. She was sitting in the middle. White people got on, and there weren't enough seats for them. The bus driver was moving the segregation line closer to the back to make room for the whites. That's when he asked Rosa to move.
*She was not physically tired. She was emotionally tired of giving up her seat for a member of another race. (For example, I'm physically tired from my workout, but I'm emotionally tired of seeing the story of a brave, strong woman standing up for her civil rights reduced to a fairy tale where a weak grandma kicked off the entire civil rights movement.)
*Rosa Parks wasn't the first person to refuse to give up her seat on a bus to a white person.
*Rosa Parks' arrest didn't start the civil rights movement; her arrest started the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
*Rosa Parks wasn't just a faceless, blue collar worker. She was also a community leader and civil rights activist before that arrest. Her involvement in the civil rights movement is not accidental.
*The famous bus isn't located in the Henry Ford museum in Michigan. It most certainly is. (This one is for my boss who still refuses to believe me without an explanation other than, "It's just not there!")
I seriously hope that these Rosa Parks myths aren't being passed around as a way to reduce the importance of a black woman who became powerful enough to help ignite a major change in her community and eventually the rest of the country.
And yes I am that pedantic asshole at parties who will correct people on her story, although I am no historian. (I'm also that jerk who complains that The Help is an awful depiction of the civil rights movement but that's another rant for another day.)

I built my first website roughly five years ago. I had no idea what I was doing but looking back, I was on the right track. At the time my brother had a website which was generating a good amount of traffic and income for him, and I really wanted to get my feet wet in the online world.
He introduced me to WordPress, and explained some of the ins and outs of how search engines work, why he used WordPress for his own project.
I was fascinated with what I learned, and that I can have my own website.
I developed a
Use WordPress
The intro above was just a bit of information about my backround on how I got into the web thing.
And now let's see how you can create a strong web presence and how can I help you do that.
WordPress is my primary choice for websites, and that's what I recommend to use for people around me.
I learned how to use WordPress and in the last few years, I've been creating many different websites based on WordPress. By different, I mean blogs, corporate sites, e-commerce sites, landing pages.
WordPress in its infancy was not suited for complex sites, it was a just a simple blogging system. Now, on the other hand, we can create a variety of websites based on WordPress, thanks to the constant development and huge community behind it. According to many, WordPress has become a full-fledged content management system.
You might ask the question, why is it important to me that I'm dealing with a content management system? It's important because it allows us to leverage all the benefits that WordPress offered as a blogging platform and beyond by being able to create very complex websites in a breeze.
Setting up a WordPress website can take only a few minutes if done properly. I can usually set up WordPress websites within minutes, and you can do it too.
Go Minimal
This is the part that is closest to my heart. I love themes, and I love making smart design choices.
One of the key aspects of a great web presence it the design. It is far more important than we might think. Design influences how users perceive a website, how professional it is.
It also determines how effectively can visitors use a website. So things like typography and layout will determine how easy it is to the eye to read the content. Clutter caused by fancy but not necessarily needed features plays a major role in the overall website experience.
A nice and sleek minimal design with just the right amount of features and lots of white space is recommended.
And lastly, if a website has all the bells and whistles, it will not perform optimally when it comes to loading speed. Visitors appreciate fast websites, and so do search engines. Put yourself in the shoes of your visitor and ask yourself: do I like my website visually? Do I need to wait several seconds for it to load?
The bottom line is, that a minimal, performance-driven design sophisticated design is more in line with what users are looking for will always outperform a feature-bloated design.
Select these web hosting partners
The points that we're discussing in this article are equally important. It's like the four wheels of a car. If only one is flat, the whole car is affected even though the others are in perfect shape.
To ensure that your website performs optimally, the quality of the web hosting service has to be adequate – do not underestimate.
We pride ourselves for being able to effectively identify cheap, but good quality web hosting services on the market. Of course, the market is constantly evolving, new providers and products appear overnight with the potential to turn whole segments upside down. There are two components to this: added service benefit or competitive pricing. Therefore, it is good practice to revisit this aspect from time-to-time.
I talked about why creating a web presence based on WordPress is a good choice. We also touched on the visual and performance side of a web presence: design and web hosting. We saw that these are equally important
All of these are aspects which we can help you with your future or current projects. Why not have a

Now in its second decade, the ambitious African Union–led restoration initiative known as the Great Green Wall has brought close to 18 million hectares of land under restoration since 2007, according to a status report unveiled by the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) at a virtual meeting on Monday, 7 September.
In recent years, conflict between herders and farmers for access to increasingly scarce natural resources in Africa's Sudano-Sahel has escalated. While the problems fueling these tensions are both hyper-local and transnational in nature, one important piece of the puzzle has been overlooked. The real "elephant in the room" is who owns the livestock.
Right-wing populist parties are already part of the governments of seven EU member states and are expected to make up a quarter of MEPs after the European elections in May 2019. In this episode host Martin Wall talks to the authors of an explorative study on the the voices and the weight of right-wing populist parties in the formulation of European climate policy.
Originally planned as a demonstration against fuel tax hikes, the Gilets Jaunes (Yellow Vests) revolts have sparked national and global debates. Some view the demonstrations as part of a rising anti-climate movement, while others draw parallels between the protests and demands for more climate action.
The pro-coal position of Poland's energy ministry has thrown sand into the country's climate diplomacy as COP24 president-designate Michał Kurtyka intensifies his diplomatic tour ahead of the United Nation's annual climate meeting later this year in Katowice.
French environment minister Nicolas Hulot has resigned live on national radio in a surprise move that will come as a blow to president Emmanuel Macron's green credentials. Nicolas Hulot had not made the French president aware of his decision to quit, he told radio presenters, adding his time in office had been an 'accumulation of disappointments'.
Liberia's largest palm oil producer, Golden Veroleum Liberia (GVL) pulls out of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) – how can rural communities cope with the impacts? The forests near GVL's Liberian plantations are not only sacred sites of the region's people but also heavily populated with chimpanzees, leopards, pygmy hippopotamus and forest elephants which are significant not only to the local ecosystem but globally.
The High Level Conference on the Lake Chad Region will be held in Berlin at the German Federal Foreign Office from 3 to 4 September 2018. Germany will be co-hosting the event with Nigeria, Norway and the United Nations.
The idea of a "new middle" or "third way"—a blend of neo-liberal economic doctrines and social policies that was supposed to overcome the dichotomy between mixed economy and free market paradigms—more or less dominated U.S. and European politics for the last two decades. But today, this centrist consensus has been upended by a wave of populist, nationalist parties. Many have won over their electorates by questioning the benefits of free trade and globalization (as well as the international institutions that espouse them), while pursuing expansionary domestic economic policies.
Both those who argue for and those who refute climate-conflict links draw on Darfur to support their case. New analysis of political bias behind the environmental narratives and their critiques adds much-needed nuance to our understanding of when drought is – and is not – relevant to the conflict.
The UK has been accused of trying to "fudge" how much money it spends on subsidising coal mining and fossil fuel use despite its pledge to phase out environmentally harmful subsidies by 2020.
The EU's decision to phase out palm oil biodiesel is likely to backfire, with negative repercussions not just on the countries concerned but also on international relations and the climate. The EU should hence invest more heavily in climate diplomacy in order to find a real solution to problems such as deforestation and wildlife loss.
EU climate diplomacy is picking up momentum in 2018, focussing on the security implications of climate change. A number of pertinent steps serve to address the climate-security nexus as well as make advocacy efforts more systematic. The flurry of activities includes Foreign Affairs Council Conclusions, the preparation of a parliamentary report on climate diplomacy, and a high-level debate at the initiative of foreign affairs chief Mogherini.
Cape Town is dealing with one of the biggest climate change-linked water crises to face a modern city. This should serve as our wake-up call: we must transition to a new, shared way of organising around increasingly stretched resources, writes Leonie Joubert.

There is something interesting that often takes place when you have a pet in your house. Most people who have animals recognize that they become a member of the family and sometimes, we tend to be with them more than we are with the human members of the family. When we find that we are home alone with our dog or cat, we may also catch ourselves talking to them as if they were normal human beings. Some of those conversations can actually be in depth and although they may be one-sided, they can be comforting.
Are you somebody that talks to your pet as if they are a close friend? It really doesn't matter if it is a dog, cat, rabbit or even your pet hamster, those conversations seem to take place naturally. You probably have also heard other people give you a hard time about doing it, asking if you actually expect the animal to answer you? Of course we don't, but that doesn't keep us from looking just a little bit strange by our behavior.
Even though this happens with many people, you may wonder if you are the only one who does it. You might also wonder why you prefer the company of an animal more than humans in some cases. Are you really losing it?
You would be happy to know that talking to anything other than a human, regardless of whether it is an animal, vegetable or mineral is a sign of intelligence rather than a lack of intelligence. It doesn't mean that you are turning into the crazy cat lady, you just may have a high IQ. The act itself is known as anthropomorphizing, which is basically giving human traits, emotions or intentions to anything that is nonhuman.
A behavioral scientist professor at the University of Chicago, Nicholas Epley, had the following to say: "Anthropomorphizing has been treated as a sign of childishness or stupidity, but it's actually a natural byproduct of the tendency that makes humans uniquely smart on this planet."
When you are able to perceive anything that is nonhuman as if it were human, it is a process that is known as anthropomorphism. When children do it, many adults feel that it is a cute type of behavior but if an adult does it, they are typically seen as being strange. Experts in anthropomorphism feel that seeing a human trait in anything that is not human is not weird, it is a sign of intelligence.
In 2011, a study was conducted in Harvard that involved a group of people who were shown various pictures. Those pictures included both baby animals and adult animals and most of the people who were shown baby animal pictures said that they would give them human names. They also tended to refer to them using gender terms, such as 'he' or 'she'.
But wait, there's more. If those same people had the opportunity to own a baby animal, they would give them a name and talk to them, just like they would talk to a human. No other living creature other than a human has that ability to give inanimate objects a perceived type of human behavior.
The most popular form of anthropomorphizing is naming pets or inanimate objects but it is not the only way it may exist. You may also produce character traits in your pets, and this would also be a form of anthropomorphism. For example, you may refer to your cat as a grumpy old man or your dog as your 'baby'. It may seem weird to an outsider but it is actually a sign of intelligence.
The human brain is infinitely complex and scientists do not fully understand its limits. After years of scientific studies on the brain, we still are only scratching the surface when it comes to understanding what it is capable of doing. Being able to identify any human characteristics in inanimate objects, be it pets, stuffed animals or even our car is a type of creativity that is displayed by the brain.
Anthropomorphism does have an effect on humans but it can also affect any animals in your home. According to some studies, continuously talking to your dog allows them to learn certain words and gestures. Animals who have been exposed to it for years continue to learn in this way.
When we talk to our dog, they tend to understand the emotions tied to our words. Cats may not understand the words as such but dogs do and they can recognize both verbal commands and the feelings behind our voice. Cats may use over 16 different ways to communicate and even though they may hear you, they may not necessarily react to what you were saying.
On a basic level, there may be 3 reasons why humans tend to anthropomorphize an object. It may appear as if it has a face, we can't explain the behavior it shows and we are curious or we want to be friends with it. By understanding each of those different triggers, we can understand why this tendency is essential to both our intelligence and our survival.
When we see an object with eyes, our brain automatically wants to perceive it as a human. If you were to put toy eyes on your stove, you may want to give it a name or perhaps you might even talk to it. This is not a type of psychotic behavior, it is science. Humans are social animals and we want to be friends with other animals by nature.
To break it all down on a very basic level, it is perfectly natural to try to talk to our pets. It doesn't make you crazy and it may just make you more intelligent than those whose brains do not allow them to do the same thing.
So, the next time you are having a conversation with your pet and somebody calls you strange, simply smile to yourself and realize that you are a superior being.

"Afro Brazilian drum beats and traditional call and response songs make you want to move! Capoeira is driven by music. The song and rhythm dictate the speed and character of the Game. Capoeira is a quirky martial arts style that is both deadly and beautiful." David Grandon
My Friend put it succinctly, "Oh Capoeria, its kick ass dance." I pondered this as David Grandon called us to the center of the room to begin class. He was recently voted the nicest guy in Flagstaff for goodness sake, so he surely wouldn't insist on kicking my bum… We began class by trotting around the class in a circle, followed by turning backwards, alternating jumps, and grapevines like I had learned in aerobics class years before. Yet, I would soon discover, that this was not that kind of (aerobics) class at all.
The little jaunt around the room was followed by stretches at a heightened pace, then moved into practicing jenga, a rhythmic base step that keeps the body moving, and gives the various other forms a place on which to build. The basic forms we practiced reminded me of a more refined break dancing with the movements closely oriented to the ground. This was followed by roda, a circle the group forms to hold space for two "dancers" to play, or practice their moves.
I hadn't a clue to what was going on, and was pleasantly surprised to find that I was not thinking with my brain, but simply responding to what I was supposed to do, or try to do with my body… At one point I went to the sidelines to fervently guzzle water, when a friend watching from the sidelines asked me a question. I stared at her stupidly, it was at this point I had forgotten the English language; I could only speak with my eyes. For anyone who dwells in the attic region of their body, this is a great respite!
Capoeria has a rich and spicy history to match its' visceral, kinetic allure, hey, it used to be illegal! This sort of stuff always perks up my ears, and I find the history to be as interesting as the art itself. The United States was not the only country on western hemisphere to dirty its hands in the slave trade. It is estimated that Brazil brought more than two million involuntary Africans to Brazil during this time!
As the Africans began to realize they were deemed for slavery, they planned revolt. This was a daunting task with the plethora of varied tribes and cultures meshing together without a common language. Eventually a group of slaves in Recife rebelled against their master, set the plantation ablaze, and set themselves free. They fled to the mountains of Brazil. A community formed, and was named Palmeres after the numerous palm trees of their mountain home. The community flourished, providing native African's a destination once fleeing their captors. Tribes that had been former rivals in Africa united under a common goal to defend and foster their freedom.
Thus it is said, Capoeria was born. While there is no historical proof of Capoeria originating in Africa, one can not dispute the strong African influence. The modern effect is a marriage of various African & indigenous Brazilian ritual, dance and culture blended to form an unusual style of martial arts designed to appear as dance or "play."
The community of Palmeres grew to an estimated 20,000 inhabitants, which became
a threat to both the Portuguese colonists, and Holland, who invaded Brazil in 1630 the
Portuguese colonists found themselves combating both the Dutch, and the former African slaves, until they were defeated. The inhabitants of Palmeres did not quit there, but used their jungle style, tricky Capoeria techniques to defend themselves, and define their identity as "capoiertistas." Since the art was disguised as dance, it easily spread throughout the colony as a ritual, or dance practiced on Sabbath. The resistance to slavery continued for many years with over twenty rebellions staged by Capoieritistas! Slavery was eventually abolished in Brazil in 1888.
Many Africans returned to home, yet many stayed in Brazil, facing the harsh environments of the economy, and racism. Some capoieristas were hired on as body guards, some formed gangs. The basic function of the early Capoieristas is said to have been to disrupt the government… The ruling forces attempted to control the power of this adverse group, by forming a governmental "task force" to seek out those practicing the martial art. Capoeria was thus illegalized, and those discovered as practitioners were expatriated. Ironically, the government used Capoeria to combat the anarchists they sought to quench. One can imagine the show down on main street, Rio de Janeiro!
With this history in mind I viewed Mr. Grandon and his students with even more respect, and when they started doing flips, hand springs, head spins and all other sorts of super hero moves, I knew I needed to share this experience with others. This is the perfect routine for those who enjoy the discipline of martial arts, yet yearn for the eclectic aspects of multicultural pride and funky street style moves and beat. In fact, when I was trying to explain Joda to a friend, he asked if it was like the street fight scene in the music video, Thriller, by Michael Jackson. No. It was better.
"It is important for beginning students to understand that we are not just sparring, gladiator style. The communication, the continuous action and reaction between the two Capoeiristas transcends just movements. It is as if Capoeira is a language to be learned. The beginner reiterates the few words or phrases he has learned while the more advanced intertwines humor and complicated concepts with his opponent/partner. Offensive moves and defensive moves flow together so fast that they seem to be choreographed sequences. Experienced players have learned to read the other persons body and intentions and will execute dynamic kicks and acrobatics dangerously close while narrowly escaping the others attack. The language of Capoeira is colored by tradition, skill, trickiness, and stamina." States Mr. Grandon.
Capoeria was prohibited until 1937. It is now practiced globally, and has been developed into a rich part of Brazil's culture history, and is strongly practiced today.

Here we have an exquisite oversized 1892 photogravure rendering, credited to D.H. Anderson, of 3 pivotal navy admirals in the American Civil War: Samuel Francis DuPont (seated on left), David Farragut (standing), and David Dixon Porter (seated on right). Their burdened expressions speak to the many mortal decisions they had no doubt made: for good or for bad, these 3 United States Naval Officers had significant bearing on the outcome of that bloodiest of U.S. conflicts. (And, to date, the only protracted war in the history of our republic fought on home soil.) One can scarcely imagine three people (or any single person) alive today with so much on their conscience! These larger-than-life figures are well-represented in this huge, framed rendering. Having them on your wall might be the next best thing to having them stop by… in the flesh… for some rounds of cognac & blackjack!
This print includes a sort of 'watermark' by the artist, which reads "Copyright 1892, by D. H. Anderson," within the image near the left-side edge. David H. Anderson was a celebrated photographer of his day, operating out of New York City.
The name of the publisher is delicately scribed above the image at the top left border (see provided image of otherwise uneventful top left corner), which we've gathered (via 17x DCAM images, which follow) to read: "Published by C. Klackner,1892. 5 E.17th St., N.Y." Charles Klackner was a curative fine arts print publisher active in New York and London, between 1882 and 1909.
The old, sturdy oak frame is ready to hang, with negligible traces of time. The frame has a handsome, 3/8″ exposed gilded trim between the wood and glass; note one flaw in this border on the left side near the top (see last 2 detail images). No flaws in the old poured glass pane, or the print. We surmise from close inspection of the provided 17x DCAM images that this example is likely a photogravure etched print. Please pardon that in some of our images, the silhouette of the camera is reflected in the large glass.
This is a very rare print indeed and what a delight to find it in such excellent condition! We could only find one single auction record for one from a few years ago on-line and it sold for quite a bit more than we're asking so we'd suggest that you go ahead and find that auction result record and then not wait too long before the next guy does also does and beats you to the buy!

The former Fatorda MLA and ESG Chairman Danu Naik will be no longer looking after the ESG affairs since the ruling government has relieved him from the post of ESG chairmanship. Damu who lost his seat in assembly election last year to Vijay Sardesai is on the verge of losing the identity in the Fatorda constituency with all the BJP supports have joined the Goa Forward party last week. Read the complete report here.
[su_expand more_text="READ MORE" less_text=" " height="0″ hide_less="yes" link_style="button" link_align="center"]The news may not came as surprise to many as this was expected claimed the sources in the ruling government. According to the sources, the Goa Government on Tuesday relieved Damodar (Damu) Naik from the responsibility of chairmanship of the ESG (Entertainment Society of Goa) so that the former Fatorda MLA could devote his full time towards the work in his constituency keeping in mind the forthcoming elections that are scheduled to take place in the beginning of 2017.
The Chief Minister of Goa Shri Laxmikant Parsekar told the media that he has asked Mr. Naik to furnish his resignation from the post of ESG chairmanship which later was accepted by his office. "I only asked him to resign so that he can fully concentrate on party work ahead of the assembly elections next year. He has resigned and the resignation has been accepted," he stated. Damu was holding the post of ESG chairmanship since 2014 said the sources.
Parsekar further told the media that this move was very much necessary since the 47th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) us scheduled to begins from 20th of November would keep the former MLA busy and the same he cannot afford to do at the moment. Naik, who is also the spokesperson of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the state, said that he resigned from the post so as to concentrate on the Fatorda constituency and prepare fully to take on his rivals during the assembly elections.
Damu Naik who lost his seat to his rival Vijay Sardesai in 2012 assembly elections and later during the Margao Municipal Elections the panel floated by the BJP under his leadership was trounced. According to Mr. Naik, he was willing to resign from the post of ESG chairman long time before but he had waited for the auspicious day to do so. "I had been ready to resign for quite some time but had been waiting for an auspicious moment. After the month of Mhaall (September), in the evening of October 3 I tendered my resignation…,'' he said.
According to Mr. Naik, the reason behind his resignation was the shuffling of time between IFFI which will be held next month and the party work towards his constituency and hence he felt that the resignation is the best solution for this.
When media asked him whether he had taken this step due to any sort of pressure on him to resign in the backdrop of the allegations of demanding Rs. 2 crore, Naik said that allegations are not the new thing for him. "In 2014, there was an allegation about Rs 5 crore. This time, it has been reduced to Rs 2 crore. I have not resigned owing to these allegations. The Chief Minister should investigate the allegations against me and my political rival Sardesai,'' he said.
The expulsion of Damu from the ESG may lead to giving new life to him in the forthcoming assembly election. The BJP is counting on every seat in the Goa as they are having new rivals emerging daily in the political front. The emergence of RSS is also posing a new challenge to them. Let's wait and watch whether the sacrifice of Damu Bab will result into any fruits.
