Jul 30 The Importance of Terry Crews
Catriona Morton
Last month, actor, activist and all-round great human Terry Crews gave a testimony on sexual assault to the Senate in the USA for the 'Survivors Bill of Rights' Hearing (a bill created by Amanda Nguyen, another survivor). Crews, who stars as the wonderful Terry in Brooklyn Nine-Nine and starred in Deadpool 2, was one of the (relatively) few men who came forward about sexual harassment and assault in the 'Me Too' movement in the Entertainment industry last Autumn. When he saw the amount of women coming forward in the wake of the Weinstein abuse, Crews tweeted, authentically and without reproach, about how a Hollywood agent had sexually assaulted him at a party in 2016. He wanted people to know that he believed them, and that people in silence could, if they wanted to, speak out with power and truth about the crimes powerful people committed against them. Crews also took the time to acknowledge the 'cult of toxic masculinity' that was rampant throughout the industry.
In tweets and in his testimony, Crews recounts how he didn't do anything at the time, for fear of the story being twisted, for fear of his race and masculinity being used against him if he reacted in any way, violently or otherwise. In the clip itself, shown here, a Senator at the hearing asks why he didn't do anything physically at the time, saying "you're a big powerful man, why didn't you (motions pushing)". Sadly, this type of reaction to Crews', and many other male survivors, perpetuates the myth that men "can't be raped", that they are "weak" if they are ever assaulted. What people don't always understand, often unless they have lived the experience, is that no matter who you are, someone can use their power over you. You may think you will react in a certain way, but your mind and your body actually work to try and protect you, even though you might not consider it that way. There's the Fight or Flight response - but there's also the lesser talked about Freeze response. Whether you Freeze as a way of preventing further bodily harm, or in Crews' case, if your mind steps in and reasons that Freezing, not doing anything, will be better for you in the long run, it is a legitimate, valid, and extremely common response for people being assaulted or abused in any way.
""I wanted these survivors to know that I believe them, I supported them and that this happened to me too," "
— Terry Crews
Crews' case is so important because he speaks of the reality of this Freezing response. It is furthermore important as he highlights the reality for Black men in America, and globally, if they are to react aggressively to situations such as the one forced upon him. Crews admits he wanted to react violently - but he had been conditioned to know that the danger of this reaction was probably more grave than the violation that was already happening to him. The crime committed against Crews was about power, and it was about humiliation. That Hollywood agent thought he could do whatever he wanted to Crews' and get away with it, and for a short while, he did. As Crews recounts, direct repercussions of his speaking out about the assault have already impacted his career - the producer of 'The Expendables', which Crews was a star in, called Crews' agent to tell him to 'drop the case' or else there would 'be trouble'. At the hearing, another Senate member asks 'are you going to be in the fourth instalment, I hope'... this time, a downright ridiculous question. Crews had just told them about the threatening language and silencing the producer of the film has used against him, and they proceed to 'hope' he'll be starring in it?! Bloody hell, America. Crews reacts to this question calmly, and incredibly politely, and informs them that this producer, whilst also being vile to Crews, is also an accused abuser. As Crews succinctly puts it 'abusers protect abusers' - and he wants to be no part of that, so he drew the line, and put his priorities and loyalties to justice first by refusing to be a part of the franchise.
Crews is an icon, first in sport, then in film and television, and now in the movement of justice for survivors. He is an inspiration to survivors, to male survivors, and especially to black male survivors, who can see themselves represented as a valid and much needed part of the movement. Assault and abuse doesn't just happen to women, it doesn't just happen to a certain type of person, it can, and does, happen to anyone. Crews is strong. Yes, physically. Yet more importantly, he is strong emotionally, as he has come face to face with the people who violated him and tried to silence him in humiliation. He knew what happened to him was wrong, and he took it upon himself to highlight the injustice and the truth of what happens to people like him in the industry. His open and honest testimonies about what his perpetrator did to him, and the aftermath, is so important for people to see. Crews' survival, tenacity and prevailing kindness have inspired me constantly in my recovery. His allyship, his imperfection and his proactive attitude have been used to light the way all survivors should have the ability to speak of their experiences and break through their unwanted silence.
To land on a light note, as Terry Crews always makes me happy, and as it is his birthday after all, here's the Best clips of him in my favourite character in B99 - Happy Birthday, fellow Leo!

At age 22, he was shot down over France, captured by Germans and sent to a concentration camp in Germany. Days before he and other US airmen were to be executed, he was transferred to a more humane prisoner-of-war (POW) camp.
The challenges Joe Moser, a farm boy from Ferndale, faced and his ability to survive these ordeals is the stuff of Hollywood movies. And a movie, "Lost Airmen of Buchenwald," profiling and interviewing Joe and his fellow airmen has been produced.
Moser was in a POW camp when it was liberated by the Allies providing a triumphant conclusion to his wartime days.
And now Moser is scheduled to receive France's Legion of Honor award April 2 at the World Trade Center in Seattle. The Legion of Honor award was created in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte and represents France's highest decoration of valor.
In addition, a series of online profiles about Washingtonians who served in World War II has just been launched by Legacy Washington, a project from the Office of Secretary of State. Moser's profile is featured at the top of the "Washington Remembers" website.
The online profiles will be used for a new Legacy Washington exhibit, called "Washington Remembers: Their Sacrifice. Our Freedom," opening this summer in the front lobby of the Office of Secretary of State at the Washington State Capitol.
The exhibit will feature photos and artifacts shared by Washington's World War II veterans and their families. People are encouraged to send in photos of World War II veterans to be featured in an online gallery called Faces of Heroes. Digitized photos can be submitted using this link: http://1.usa.gov/1xiqZKP.

The challenge of a technical climb associated with navigating the crevasse above a dynamic glacial mass.
The solitude of getting off the beaten path.
Recuperating in the famous Papallacta thermal springs.
There are few climbers that have summitted Antisana (5758 m/ 18,891 ft), due to the previous access limitations and more rigorous technical requirements. This volcano is ideal for mountain climbers that want to challenge themselves with a technical ascent and revels in the solitude one gets while off the beaten path. Those that do climb this beautiful mountain always regard the breathtaking panoramic views from the summit as well worth the effort; especially the rare view of the north face of Cotopaxi (arguably the best profile of this grand peak) and the headwaters of the Amazon basin below.
Antisana is a Quichua word meaning "Man of Wind and Snow", named after the fact that all four of its peaks are covered by beautiful blue tinted glaciers. These large and active glaciers atop Antisana are the deepest of any found on Ecuador's tallest peaks, in fact they provide the most massive and deepest coverage of equatorial snow and ice in the world! The prevalence of ice walls, crevasses and technical slopes make Antisana one of the most exciting and challenging climbs in Ecuador, and an ideal climb for explorers interested in practicing crevasse travel and perfecting their snow and ice techniques.
A massive prehistoric explosion changed the profile of Antisana to the shape that we see today, all but the west side of the crater was blown out in this historic eruption. The remaining huge caldera measures 5,900 ft (1,800 m) across and 3,300 ft (1,000 m) deep, and is filled with glacial snow and ice year round. It has been dormant for many years, with the most recent eruptions dating back to 1760 and 1776. These were not explosive crater-collapsing eruptions; instead they were lava flows leaking out of fissures on the side of the volcano. The 10 km long lava flow in 1760 occurred on the west side of the mountain, near Hacienda Pinantura. The 1776 flow was smaller, leaving a 6 km long lava stream near Laguna Papallacta, on the north side.
Our trip takes us through the access town of Píntag, a quaint hamlet characterized by its cobbled streets and tiled roofs. We continue on to the western side of Antisana, where we will set up our base camp at an altitude of 4,533 m (14,870 ft). The next day we will begin our ascent of the mountain, as we approach an altitude of 4,600 meters the vegetation becomes sparse and marks the beginning of the technical and glaciated portion of our climb. Here we will utilize a full range of snow and ice climbing techniques on the moderately angled snow slopes interspersed with steep sections of ice. After the climb, there is an optional day extension to explore the rich diversity found throughout the Antisana Ecological Reserve as we head to the famous Papallacta thermal springs. Here we can reward ourselves after a hard climb, taking advantage of their exceptional massage and aromatherapy services.
The Antisana Ecological Reserve was created in 1993, with the goal of preserving the unique native flora and fauna of the Andean páramo. It is located at the foothills of the dormant volcano, and extends into the edge of the Amazon prairie. The rolling grasslands and glacier fed streams and lakes support herds of wild horses, wolves, llamas, mountain tapir, spectacled bear and many birds, including more than 10 species of hummingbirds. The native flora consists of shrubs, orchids, mosses and other plants specially adapted to the environment. We will hike through well preserved stretches of páramo, through the cloud forest and across lava and mudflows. There is a good chance of seeing the Andean condor soaring overhead; as it has been reported that fifty percent of Ecuador's population of these rare birds inhabit Antisana's ecological reserve.
Then we will rest and relax in the many thermal pools at Papallacta. The same volcanic activity that shaped Antisana and the other popular mountains in Ecuador, also created a very powerful heating system for natural springs in the area. Papallacta has over a dozen different natural rock pools, all at different temperatures.
Drive from Quito towards Antisana. After 2 hours we will reach base camp at (4,533 m/14,870 ft ), on the western side of the mountain. Here we will prepare our equipment, then conduct a safety and skills review. Afterwards we will turn in early to rest for the next day's climb.
We wake up early for breakfast and then begin our early morning ascent up Antisana. It will take approximately 8 hours to reach the top. At the summit we will enjoy the views and prepare for the 4 hour descent back to base camp.
Explore the diverse landscapes and wildlife at the Antisana Ecological Reserve. Then end the day at the infamous Papallacta thermal springs, where you can recuperate with their exceptional massage and aromatherapy.
Want something even more challenging? On request, we can arrange a trip up the more demanding and technical climbing routes, such as the south, east or northeastern peaks of Antisana.

U.S. Senate Candidate Katie McGinty focuses on the future of young Americans during Pittsburgh campaign stop
Posted By Ryan Deto on Fri, Jan 8, 2016 at 2:22 PM
Photo by Ryan Deto
U.S. Senate candidate Katie McGinty at a campaign stop in Pittsburgh Thursday.
At an intimate sit down with elected officials, private citizens and community organizers, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Katie McGinty spoke about the growth and excitement happening in Pittsburgh but also emphasized what she called the "shadow side."
McGinty pointed out that Pittsburgh, and most of Pennsylvania and the country, has seen some post-recession growth, but there are still many Americans that are working harder and longer hours and are not getting ahead.
"I am running for Senate to ensure that everybody gets a chance," said McGinty to the dozen participating in the discussion at Pamela's P&G Diner in the Strip District. "If you are willing to work hard, you should be able to get ahead."
This idea of upward mobility was the central theme of the discussion and participants asked McGinty, who served as Governor Tom Wolf's chief of staff before announcing her candidacy, specific questions about workforce training and student debt.
Newly elected Allegheny County Councilor DeWitt Walton spoke about current organizations in the area that are providing training to help minority residents start careers in trade fields, like construction and manufacturing. Walton says this training is critical to serve those workers who have a high school diploma but not a college degree.
McGinty, who previously ran for Pennsylvania governor, agreed that more needs to be done to train the workers Walton is speaking of and said that a solution could be to make sure manufacturing jobs are not "sent overseas." Those jobs should "put our own kids back to work," she said. She also spoke about fair wages at the discussion, something she has previously advocated for in Pittsburgh.
"We have some of the best research in the whole world," says McGinty. "What we now need to do is, instead of giving companies tax breaks to send their businesses overseas, we need to bring that money back and give low-interest loans and grants that provide the resources for young entrepreneurs to be able to set up businesses here."
Another issue discussed at Pamela's was the large amount of student debt that young people are accruing before they enter the workforce. Nicole King, a single mother from the South Hills, works as a law clerk and a bartender, and is currently pursuing her law degree. She says her current student-debt is around $175,000.
"I am doing everything I am supposed to be doing," says King. "I am working hard, raising a child and going to school. What is being done to help me with my student loans?"
McGinty says she sympathizes with King and says that one of the problems is public colleges and universities are only receiving 20-30 percent of their funding from the government. "All the money is coming from [student's] tuition."
McGinty says that the government should allow students to refinance their loans at lower interest rates. (For example, according to stats from the federal government and Wells Fargo bank, interest rates on undergraduate student loans are higher, with postgraduate loans being significantly higher, than home-purchasing loans and than mortgage loans.)
McGinty believes that success starts with education but thinks the country can do more to help people like King.
"It is about making sure that our kids have the best education so that they can succeed and shine," says McGinty. "It is about making sure that we are easing that burden of college debt, so young people can get out there and build their lives."
McGinty is currently squaring off against fellow Democrats former congressman and retired Navy Admiral Joe Sestak and Braddock Mayor John Fetterman. The Democratic primary winner will go up against incumbent Republican Sen. Pat Toomey.

The documentary was selected for the DOC NYC festival in November.
"Miracle on 42nd Street" is a documentary detailing the story of the iconic apartment complex in Manhattan that was home to several artists during the late 1970s: The Manhattan Plaza.
"Miracle on 42nd Street" depicts a time in which New York City was experiencing a profound financial crisis. Originally planned to be a luxurious apartment building, the Manhattan Plaza was repurposed to provide subsidized housing for artists, and thus it became a residential beacon of hope for people working in the performing arts in the late '70s.
The documentary argues for the economic value of the arts and artists in the United States, taking the Manhattan Plaza building as a case study and how it fueled other social experiments of that nature. The success of the building positively impacted the local economy and partook in bringing life back to midtown Manhattan.
"Miracle on 42nd Street" will premiere at the SVA Theatre in New York City on November 11 at 1:30 p.m. ET. For more information, click here.


Now that her days of Suits and fashion line collaborations are over, how will the newly married Duchess of Sussex earn an income alongside her husband, Prince Harry?
As of this point, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are living at Nottingham Cottage located within the walls of Kensington Palace. As long as they are at a royal residence and full-time working royals, The Sovereign's Grant given to The Queen annually will pay for things like rent and utilities.
Prince Harry's father, The Prince of Wales, is also entitled to the profits of the Duchy of Cornwall. Started by Edward III in 1337, the duchy was created to provide an income to the heir. The value of the duchy is over £1 billion, although Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall only take the net revenue surplus that comes in over £20 million which he pays voluntary taxes on.
With this money, Prince Charles then provides a salary for his sons and their families in return for carrying out official engagements on behalf of the monarch.
Once Prince Charles becomes king, the Duchy of Cornwall will be inherited by Prince William for him to support his own family as it grows. Prince Charles will then take on the Duchy of Lancaster.
The Duchy of Lancaster is a private estate, consisting of 18,433 hectares of private land across England and Wales, which is currently owned by The Queen. It comprises commercial, agricultural and residential properties, in addition to a significant portfolio of financial investments and urban residences.
The net value of the Duchy of Lancaster is around £518.7 million to which The Queen receives about £19.2 million to fund her family. As of this point, Her Majesty uses that money for working members of the Royal Family like the Duke of York, Princess Anne, and the Earl and Countess of Wessex.
When Prince Charles takes on the Duchy of Lancaster, it will be his duty to then support the Duke and Duchess of Sussex through it, including other senior working members of the family. It is well known that Prince Charles' vision of the future includes a slimmed down version that already cuts out his nieces, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and could consist of his own siblings as the years go on.
Prince Harry also has the inheritance he received from Diana, Princess of Wales and Meghan has all of her income from being a successful actress over the years that will help support the couple.

Like many Americans, you may be planning to throw off the shackles of the 9-to-5 workday and start your own landscaping business. Landscaping can be a lucrative business, with the demand for professional landscaping services experiencing steady and continuing growth in revenue and demand.
Running a landscaping business is also an excellent way to spend your days in the great outdoors instead of being confined to an office space. However, like with any self-employment, you need to ensure that your landscaping business can successfully compete with other landscaping businesses in your area.
One of the keys to success is having the right equipment. Along with the pieces of standard landscaping equipment such as a lawnmower, spade, and rake, you'll need other specialist pieces of motorized equipment. Having the right equipment means you can provide your clients with a wider range of services and will also be able to complete your work faster, more efficiently, and with superior results.
Here are four essential pieces of professional motorized landscaping equipment you'll require.
A trimmer is a hand-held piece of equipment that is used for cutting back grass, weeds, and overhanging vegetation from trees and shrubs. A trimmer uses a set of nylon strings that rotate at high speed to slice through vegetation. The nylon string comes in a variety of thicknesses, and it's a good idea to have several thicknesses on hand so that you can tackle any task.
Trimmers are ideal for use on small areas of lawn and prevent the need for unloading and using a cumbersome lawnmower for only a few minutes work. Trimmers are also the ideal tool for use in hard-to-reach areas such as underneath trees, in tiered garden beds, and on lawns that are very steep or uneven.
Brush cutters are very similar to trimmers. The main difference is that they use metal strings or metal blades to slice through foliage instead of nylon. Brush cutters are also generally more robust than trimmers. Brush cutters are vital for cutting back thick vegetative growth that a trimmer can't handle, such as dense ground cover, saplings, and woody, thick-stemmed weeds.
Most amateur gardeners and even many landscapers forgo purchasing a brush cutter, opting to replace the nylon strings on their trimmer with metal strings for the more heavy-duty jobs. However, replacing strings and blades is a time-consuming task, so having a dedicated brush cutter will speed up your productivity and increase your overall hourly income.
A lawn edger is a specialized piece of equipment that will allow you to create immaculate edges for your clients' lawns and garden beds. It uses a wheel-guided blade to rapidly and cleanly trim the desired area. The initial financial outlay for an edger will be quickly mitigated with the time you'll save on edging when this time is compared to that you'd spend using a non-motorized edger or hand tool.
Many landscapers use their trimmer for this job. However, an edger is more precise, won't displace soil in garden beds, and won't gouge out a channel that is too deep. A lawn edger will help to provide a superior end result, which will help to set you apart from your competitors.
A backpack blower is indisputably a landscaper's best friend. It will allow you to make short work of fallen leaves without having to pick up a rake. A backpack blower is also perfect for clearing away grass clippings and scattered foliage after you've mowed or trimmed a client's garden.
It's possible to get a smaller hand-held blower, but for ease of use and comfort, a backpack blower is the better choice. Make sure you choose the most heavy-duty and high-powered model your budget will allow. Also, opt for a model that has tubes with a large diameter that will help you to rapidly clear large areas of garden debris.
As the saying goes, a tradesman is only as good as his tools. When it comes to professional landscaping, this is certainly true. Having the right motorized equipment will help you provide faster and more professional services for your clients. It will also allow you to provide a wider range of services, with no job too big or small.
As well as having the right pieces of equipment, it's equally important to purchase equipment that stands up to the rigors of everyday use. This means buying equipment that is built for professional use instead of the standard models sold in hardware stores. Standard models are designed for infrequent use by home gardeners, and they simply don't have the durability or power to perform in a professional capacity.
Ben's Cleaner Sales Inc. can provide you with a wide range of heavy-duty motorized garden equipment, including trimmers, brush cutters, lawn edgers, and backpack blowers. We can also service and repair your motorized equipment on a regular basis to ensure that it runs smoothly and efficiently for many years to come. Come check out the professional quality outdoor power equipment line we carry by Maruyama, which includes a 5 year commercial warranty.

This article has become the number one article of all times on Themeforest. net with its huge appeal within a 3 year period.
We' re going to do a full depth diving in this Review to see what it has to say and why it has become the best-selling WordPress theme of all time. 5, s5. 6 of the subject. There are many different causes, we will be discussing some of them in this Avada theme preview. We' re reviewing tonnes of topics on our weblogs, and that won't be any different - we' ll find all the advantages and disadvantages of this topic.
But before we continue to try to grasp the rationale behind the great succes and appeal of this stunning WordPress theme, let's take a look at its quest. WordPress Avada theme: Avada WP Theme is the result of a straightforward thought progression between two freelance artists - Mohammed Haris and Luke Beck.
As early as 2011, they both agreed to participate as a partner in the design and development of WordPress topics on Themeforest. Featuring innovation, creativity and consistent effort, the pair began their first ThemeFusion in March 2012 and eventually began their largest work in August 2012. ThemeFusion not only became a top-selling writer in May 2013 (3,349 sales) and June 2013 (3,584 sales), but also due to its growing appeal.
Today, the ThemeFusion projekt has an extensive client base of more than 380,000, 435,000+ registered customers. It is not only that, but ThemeFusion has so far been selling articles to the value of more than 5 million dollars. Excellently designed by its creators to help customers build a multi-function design that includes functionality, ready-made layout, customization and even third-party plug-in integration.
Whilst the feature line-up is vast, there are the 3 most important things to recommend about the astonishing Avada theme: There are a variety of choices that allow you to include almost any item on your site, whether you have programming skills or not. Provides various demonstration pages and pre-installed setup with easy one-click install.
The Avada is a premier server down load that requires robust server performance as storage utilization can cause difficult problems for some hosters. As a newcomer to the sector, you are probably not very comfortable with the Avada theme. It' a multi-purpose theme that is used to build almost any kind of website, be it an on-line storefront, a storefront for your company, an e-commerce store, a socially media-style venture, a galleries website or anything else you need.
Whatever you need, it can give you everything you need to build a world-class website with the various functionality and feature sets we demand in today's sophisticated website world. Avada WordPress Theme and ThemeFusion sets a high benchmark with a wide range of options and new functionality, versatility, free upgrades and usability.
Of course, this is not only the first-class customer service for your purchases. It' tidy and has an appealing look. Briefly, it is ultra slim, fully reactive, surprisingly versatile and has unbelievable customization features to make the whole site easy and fast. So if you'd like a snapshot of what we're all about and how this can be used to build great web sites, this tutorial is for you.
Watch the movie to see how you can use it to build your own website. What makes this WP template popular with more than 435,000 people? Avada is by far the number one theme, with well over 435,000 units sold, twice as many as its closest rival. Take a look at the number of great things it has to offer, it makes it incredibly simple to build a website in no hurry.
To use a templates vendor, visitors require a variety of styles to give their site a different look each and every look. Taking into account this need of the user, it provides infinite, attractive possibilities for designing. There is a simple but powerful option pane in the templates that allows the user to easily build almost any theme without the need for more than one theme.
It' now possible to use a beloved file and still have a distinctive and exclusive look that belongs to you. ThemeFusion' favourite projects also enable the creation of fast, reactive websites. Just like most theme stuff these days, it grabs its own Page Builder plug-in - the Fusion Builder. 5. 0, one of the main versions, was when Fusion Builders really got shiny and compared well with some of the other favorite pagebuilding plug-ins out there as it was virtually rebuilt from scratch.
And the new easy-to-use GUI featured things like the Fusion Builder libary (a set of pre-built, customized contents to re-use your content), interleaved column, change histories and versions, and many other changes to make it a pleasure to use. 1 saw a number of enhancements to the Fusion Builder API that made it much more developable, with a number of new features and filter options that allowed designers to build their own enhancements around this plug-in.
One of the time-saving functions, of course, is that it comes with many ready-made patterns. Virtually entire pages created around dedicated recesses that allow you to bring them into your website, which helps speed up the web designing proces in just a few moments. And you can even recreate your own style sheet from the ground up for later use on your website.
More than 60+ items with more than 200 user-defined choices are available to use with Fusion Builder. 3 introduced another important update to Fusion Builder, the Global Save feature. It is a feature that allows you to make small changes to a "template" that is then duplicated at all points on the site where that is used.
For example, suppose you create your own customized Call to Action buttons that you have used in various places on the site. Instead of having to make multiple changes, you can easily refresh the CTA key style and the saving will be moved to ALL locations where this style sheet was used.
Fusion Page Builder has an important part to play in website designing in general, as it is available not only for this theme, but for any theme on the web, so you can store and export your work with other topics as well. v.5. Now 6 has added full right-click functionality within the builders, because of course this is something we rather want from our desktops.
ThemeFusion wanted the user to have the same user interface and the right-click feature within the Builders is now part of Avada. Fusion Core was developed specifically for working with Avada and is a plug-in that is integrated when you load this element.
With this plug-in you can create your own websites with all the functions of the Avada templates. The plug-in also contains the Speed Dial Generator, the Fusion Slider and the Mega Menu. The majority of these items can be included in your Fusion Builder layout and are also available for use with the default WordPress mail and page editor.
Fusion Shortcodes allows a user to choose an item of their choosing and include it in their work. Here are some samples of short code options: adjustable notifications, cards, timer countdowns, video, current mailing list, etc. A major reason why this submission is perfectly suited for almost any kind of WordPress website is that it allows the user to customize almost any part of your website.
With the Avada Theme Options/Controls! You can also use the WordPress Customizer user surface to customize some of these changes, which gives you a glimpse of your changes as you make them. Here the notion is to enable non-coders to simply build their website through a set of customizing tool and preferences.
The most important things we like about this topic are the excellent demonstrations. In contrast to other providers, these are not only put together in such a way that the topic looks nice. In essence, with Avada demonstrations in your Pitch, you can do more deals because the end users will be able to see the end results, not just believe them.
Avada demonstrations are used here. There are a number of professional looking demonstrations that have been put together to help you find a niche to market to, so when you contact a resort, you can show them the end results of using this demo to create a website for a resort.
You' ll have a large swimming pot of pre-built demonstration sites that you can finally use on your WordPress site, even with a few mouse clicks, as you' ll soon see. Not only will you be able to use these demonstrations to gain more sales, but you or the potential purchaser of the subject can quickly get a full site demonstration and use it as the foundation for building their own website.
It is a true help both for the developer to accelerate their website developing processes, and for anyone who is not a web design professional and needs some handiwork to build their own website. With this new utility you can quickly and simply add a demonstration to your WordPress install and then merge, shuffle and synchronize parts of the demonstrations to start your website design.
Watch the below movie, you can see that with a few mouse clicks using the ready-made demo you can make a Done-for-you website. Beautiful, isn't it? so many people love using your site - it made it simple for them to set up an on-line board.

Simply pair it with the integrated theme and build a very unique on-line board. Whilst there are many choices that make it seem very complicated, those who actually tried it found it very user-friendly.
Once you have activated the Avada theme, it begins to work for you. There are a number of user-friendly features that help the user build target pages and slider controls and adjust their projects as needed. In addition, the user also gets a page Builder, with which they can generate entirely new layout with a totally different look.
The only thing you have to do is choose a demonstration of ThemeFusion and load all the contents into your game. So, you can easily see that this submission provides great WooCommerce functionality and easy integrate. In view of this developing market need, ThemeFusion provides full WooCommerce Platform assistance. Avada's compatibility with WooCommerce provides an appropriate means of integrating land pages, portfolios, blogs or other types of contents that the user wants to be added.
WooCommerce assistance begins with the global WooCommerce customization and continues with the store pages, as well as the individual pages and items themselves, along with the order itself, in other words, everything can be set the way you want it to be. In addition to all these choices for your items, there are also different configuration possibilities for the store pages, beginning with Clean or Classical designs.
Using the above mentioned functions, you can see how the submission adds much added value when it comes to WooCommerce design and adapting the on-line buying experiences for your clients. Part of the reason this topic is of great value (as you can see from the below price) is that Avada contains a number of premier plug-ins that come as part of the package as well.
It' a high-performance tool that also includes built-in style and functionality for Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, The Events Calendar, WooCommerce, and many other integration tools. The unique technology allows the user to manage what can be seen on different screens. Every resize has a unique theme options to specify the precise point where it should be displayed.
Furthermore, each Fusion Builder item has a buttonset that lets you select the visible appearance of each item at any given display area. As a result, you can have a separate layout for each monitor type, giving you greater layout versatility. ThmeFusion estimates that this was a major pain for quite a few folks, so v5.6 introduced built-in GDPR and other data protection supporting mechanism within the submission.
In order to help customers in problematic situation and to solve their problems, ThemeFusion provides its customers with comprehensive customer service. Our staff provides genuine assistance to the user from the persons who actually create the element. ThemeFusion' not only does that, its product range is also very well documentation.

The Avada theme good for your business? However, don't be worried even if you are not informed about the latest selling techniques when designing a website because the submission can do it for you. Whilst on pageEO is a big issue when it comes to website rankings, it is hardly possible for a topic to breach the on page SOEO to such an extend that it has a rankings effect.
Actually, for those SEOs who are affected by the submission, it is critical that the website is loaded quickly. You have to make sure that the topic is not loaded so much that the website and pages are loaded slowly. Whilst too many functions can embolden you to gamble with countless different things, this can sometimes lead to high page counts and storage failures.
Avada, for example, provides a variety of backgrounds, typefaces, and other designer features to select from. You should, however, keep in mind some limitations to prevent the traps associated with too many choices. Luckily, Avada has taken great pride in the fact that the CSS caching and asynchronous media request loading capabilities of the submission are still first class.
A further disadvantage of using it (which also holds for other feature-rich topics) is that such a wide range of preferences, configurations, layout, etc. can enhance the learn-behavior when using the products. If you are a red-hot Avada player, you may be a little out of your depth when you first encounter Avada and want to use it to build your website.
Conversely, they should set up a test bed and try it out and get to know all the things they can do. How do the real user of the submission feel about it? Shortly after its publication, Avada became a hotly discussed issue among sector professionals and reviewers. The majority of them were in favour of Avada - a good option.
Take a look at some of these good ratings about Avada that might help you make your ultimate choice. Since it is difficult to imagine the results of the products without looking at the end results, here are 10 fantastic Avada theme samples that are currently alive. For more Avada theme samples, we encourage you to check out this page to see all the current Avada theme samples used today.
Whilst this paper fully endorses the use of the Avada theme and debates all its current points, the list of some good choices brings us nearer to the conclusion of the debate, without any distortion. And we think these are great topics too! DIVIVI versus AVADA? Undoubtedly Avada is an absolutely great theme and we really like it, but there are of course many other great topics.
so maybe you should look into it now. Both of these topics are very different, even if they are both multifunctional. However, the ThemeFusion Builder still doesn't work in full real-time, so you have to store and verify the frontend every single use.
The best alternative available today is Divi, a WordPress Theme and ElementThemesual Page Builder that lets you build almost any kind of website you want. No matter if you want to build a web site or a page, with Divi you can get your results in no time.
The Divi is a great mix of great looks and a host of stunning props. There is a large selection of page styles, an easy-to-use page builder, and a versatile controls panel suitable for those looking for an out-of-the-box design and even for those who want to build customized layouts without programming.
This is the ultimative WordPress theme, equipped with four "stacks" that are completely original in design. It' a non-programmable style sheet that offers neat coding, good load speeds, and stunning usability. Contrary to other styles, it doesn't overwhelm your website with bloated or undesirable codes. Given its comprehensive feature set, manageability and effectiveness of use and affordable pricing, our test report shows that Avada is a premier choice for those who want the liberty of creating any type of website while offering a large variety of pre-configured demonstrations, topics and layout.
Briefly, it is an exquisite topic that almost any type of WorldPress website can produce inconceivable. Once you've seen the websites developed with Avada, you're welcome to join us in sharing your experiences with our people. At WordSuccor Ltd, Jason is an accomplished word press engineer. It offers Worldpress theme Customizing services and has a dedicated staff of seasoned engineers who support it in every aspect of the work.

Crowdfunding campaign launched for Langdale Pikes
A new crowdfunding campaign has been launched to raise money for a popular walking route in the Langdale Pikes.
The Lake District Foundation aims to raise £5,000 by the end of January to fund vital repairs to the path from Stake Pass to Pike O'Stickle via Martcrag Moor.
The cash raised will be donated to Fix the Fells, enabling its volunteers to landscape erosion scars, improve drainage, and define the line of the path to avoid a fragile bog habitat.
Volunteers will also build new sections of the 'sheep fleece path' – a traditional type of path that involves 'floating' a gravel path over peat bog by using the fleece as a barrier between the ground and the path.
This approach, which is both sustainable and environmentally friendly, results in an excellent upland path that blends in effectively with its surroundings.
James Forrest, Fix the Fells Fundraiser, said: "The jagged skyline of Langdale is one of Lakeland's most beautiful sights – and the distinctive peaks of the Pikes are much-loved by walkers, runners, cyclists and tourists alike. But this popularity comes at a price.
"The Langdale Pikes are suffering from ongoing erosion caused by human activity. This is why the work of Fix the Fells' dedicated teams of rangers and volunteers is of crucial importance. Please help support this vital conservation work. Every donation – no matter how big or small – makes a real difference."
In return for donations, rewards will be sent to those people who donate specific amounts. The rewards include:
• A Fix the Fells pin badge for donations of £10 or more
• A Lake District Foundation goodie bag (containing a tote bag, Conquer the Lake District patch, badge and pen) for donations of £20 or more
• A limited edition Fix the Fells t-shirt – designed by Fix the Fells partner Geo Clothing (https://geoclothing.co.uk/) – for donations of £40 or more
• A day out with the Fix the Fells volunteers on a 'drain run' for donations of £100 or more
• A hike with local adventurer and author James Forrest (aka 'Mountain Man') for a donation of £200 or more
To donate any amount, visit the Langdales project page on the crowdfunding website at www.crowdfunder.co.uk/martcragmoor before January 29.

Welcome to our web-site! You have reached the families of Byron and Kathryn Palmer. Contained within these pages are the generations of men and women who have helped make the American dream come true. From foreign shores to Fulton County Illinois we have traced our lineage and hope the following family trees lead to unfound relatives and friends.
"My wife and myself will soon sleep beside those sturdy old pioneers who have already passed away. We will soon 'cross the divide' and join the old friends of long ago who were so near and dear to us, in the great beyond. And to our children and children's children and to strangers will be left the fruits of our labors -- fields in a high state of cultivation, comfortable and even elegant homes, school houses, churches, and all that go to make life desirable. And we old soldiers, when our last moments come, will no doubt feel satisfied that we helped keep the stars and stripes floating in the air, and that we are leaving to our posterity a free and re-united country-the greatest power in the world today."

With a new foreword by Ken Blanchard An invaluable new strategy for creating enthusiastic employees, from the author of the bestselling The One Minute Manager. Every day thousands of uninspired employees trudge to work -- often dooming their companies to failure with their lack of enthusiasm. Drawing on over 20 years' experience of working with hundreds of corporations across the US -- including America Online, Eastman Kodak, General Motors, Hershey Chocolate and Microsoft -- Blanchard reveals a sure-fire strategy for boosting employee enthusiasm, productivity and performance. Gung Ho! presents a simple system for inspiring employees. Based on three core ideas: work must be seen as important, workers must be put in control of their own production and managers must cheer their workers on -- it is a method that all employees and managers can easily implement and which has already been adopted by such major corporations as K-Mart.

Q: I would like to know how to select all files with selenium python I am trying to select all files with python selenium.
dir = os.chdir("C:\\Users\\adam\\OneDrive - Wheelers Lane Technology College\\Pictures\\ama")
for file in glob.glob("*.jpg"):
    print(file)
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="upl-fileInp"]').send_keys(file)

This is what I have and it lists all the files in a directory, but I don't know how to select it.

A: In order to upload a file with Selenium you have to send it absolute path including the file name to the input element.
Something like this
for file in glob.glob("C:\\Users\\adam\\OneDrive - Wheelers Lane Technology College\\Pictures\\ama\\*.jpg"):
    driver.find_element_by_xpath('//input[@type="file"]').send_keys(file)

A: To select elements by clicking on them, you use Javascript's click()
files = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="upl-fileInp"]').send_keys(file)
for element in files:
    driver.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)

Q: PHP & MySQL looping problem I'm trying to loop once with the $cat_id to grab its id and category values for the $url value and then add the id and category values to the $parent_cat_id and $sub_cat_name arrays and then loop the $parent_cat_id value just added to the array to find its id and category values and add them to the arrays until all the $url values have been looped. But I can only get the first $url value to loop and not the rest of the $url values to loop can someone help me correct this problem?
PHP code.
$parent_cat_id = array();
$sub_cat_name = array();
$cat_id = 23;

for ($i = 1; isset($_GET['sub'.$i]); ++$i) {
    $url[$i] = '&sub' . $i . '=' . $_GET['sub'.$i];
    if(isset($cat_id)){
        $dbc = mysqli_query($mysqli, "SELECT id, category FROM categories WHERE url = '" . $url[$i] . "' AND parent_id = '" . $cat_id . "'");
        if (!$dbc) {
            print mysqli_error($mysqli);
        }  else {
            while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($dbc)){
                $parent_cat_id[] = $row['id'];
                $sub_cat_name[] = $row['category'];
            }
        }
    } else {
        $dbc = mysqli_query($mysqli, "SELECT id, category FROM categories WHERE url = '" . $url[$i] . "' AND parent_id = '" . $parent_cat_id[$i] . "'");
        if (!$dbc) {
            print mysqli_error($mysqli);
        }  else {
            while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($dbc)){
                $parent_cat_id[] = $row['id'];
                $sub_cat_name[] = $row['category'];
            }
        }
    }
}

Current output.
$parent_cat_id Array ( [0] => 77 )

$sub_cat_name Array ( [0] => A1 )

Expected Output.
$parent_cat_id Array ( [0] => 77 [1] => 78 [2] => 97 [3] => 100 )

$sub_cat_name Array ( [0] => A1 [1] => A2 [2] => B4 [3] => CD )

A: If I understand the problem correctly, you're basically saying that the loop runs only once but you want it to run multiple times.
However, check out the code below (simplified from yours). For clarity I've removed most of the loop's contents so you can see what's actually happening...
<?php
    $_GET=array('sub1'=>'val_sub1','sub2'=>'val_sub2','sub3'=>'val_sub3','sub4'=>'val_sub4');
    print_r($_GET);
    /*
    Array
    (
        [sub1] => val_sub1
        [sub2] => val_sub2
        [sub3] => val_sub3
        [sub4] => val_sub4
    )
    */

    $url=array();

    for ($i = 1;isset($_GET['sub'.$i]); $i++) {
        $url[$i] = '&sub' . $i . '=' . $_GET['sub'.$i];
    }

    print_r($url);
    /*
    Array
    (
        [1] => &sub1=val_sub1
        [2] => &sub2=val_sub2
        [3] => &sub3=val_sub3
        [4] => &sub4=val_sub4
    )
    */
?>

As you can see, the loop works fine. So either...

*

*the problem you're experiencing is because something's going horribly wrong with the database stuff and your script is just crashing after one loop (unlikely), or

*the $_GET parameter only has one 'sub' value so it actually should just be looping once (likely), or

*Maybe I just don't understand your question as well as I think I do.


How To Use : Use in the bath or shower. Apply to damp skin in a circular motion, then rinse thoroughly.
Expert Tips (note that this is a body scrub and not to be used on face) : Use two to three times a week for maximum effect. Regular exfoliating and massaging can help tone and firm the skin. Use after cleansing.
The first time I used Cocoa Butter Scrub I felt like a spa treatment. My skin felt very beautiful.
Smells great, like The Body Shop claims. The scent is actually chocolate laden not over powering and the fragrance lingers on for quite sometime.
The scrub is perfect for dry winter season.
Best suitable for dry to very dry skin type but also works for oily to combination skin types.
Cocoa butter cream body scrub has exfoliating ground rice and almond shell powder.
It moisturizes while sloughing off the dead skin and doesn't leave a greasy residue like some body scrubs.
It is a great scrub and really gives you a super soft and radiant skin.
Leaves the skin feeling healthy and moisturised. Also removes tan and ingrowth.
It will last really long. You need very little amount of scrub.
I've always felt my legs tend to get a bit dry after waxing. Three days after waxing, I scrub my body with this to reduce ingrowth and dryness of my skin.
I prefer tube packaging which I consider more hygienic.
Final Verdict : I have used several of the scrubs from The Body Shop, but I always go back to Cocoa Butter. The texture, the smell, the feel, the scrub to cream ratio, everything about this formula is PERFECT !
Will I repurchase : YES !
I will love to try since I do love scrub.
This looks really promising I might have to try it out.
Mayuri recently posted…DIY: How to make a bling phone case – transform your clear case to a blingy one!
This looks super yummy! I so want to try this <3 i too dislike the tub packaging!!
Totally yummy. Wish TBS didn't hike the prices so much.

A Nation That Forgets Its Past, Has No Future
Nelson has pride of place in Bridgetown. Not Mandela of course, but Horatio, the English admiral, hero of Empire and defender of slavery.
There's also a statue or two of a politician and a cricketer. And at Rockley golf course, there's a stone marking where the first aircraft landed on the island.
But I don't see a monument to slavery in Barbados. There's nowhere to remember the many hundreds of thousands, quite possibly millions, of Africans and their descendants who died enslaved.
Yes, there's Bussa, the statue on the ABC Highway of the man who led the slave revolt of 1816. But that's about freedom, not slavery. And a small plaque was unveiled in the busy centre of Bridgetown a few years ago. Next to a fast food restaurant.
Try asking for directions to the burial ground…
There's nowhere you can reflect for a moment, lay a flower and remember those who died in such terrible circumstances.
At Newton slave burial ground, where up to 600 men, women and children are interred, there's nothing. Just the wind whispering in the cane, like the voices of lost souls.
The tomb of slaver General William Williams.

Around the island, you'll find plenty of dead Europeans. Welshman General William Williams for example, (a slave owner, no doubt) who has a tomb at Welchman Hall, the village named after him. There are monuments to planter families in cane fields and no end of plaques and fancy tombstones in the churches.
But Newton slave burial ground? No monument – just a small tourist information sign.
Try asking for directions to this haunting, yet hugely historical place. Most Bajans don't know it exists, let alone where it is. (You're in luck – you can learn more about it and find directions here).
Barbados exports: sugar AND slavery
Barbados was crucial in the development of slavery across the Americas. Its geographical position made it the first Caribbean landfall for slave ships from Africa.
And the Barbaodos plantocracy developed a very successful model for the sugar industry, one which was based on slavery and subsequently exported elsewhere.
The Africans buried at Newton Plantation were a spiritual people. Alex Haley, in the novel and television series Roots, made the point. Kunta Kinte refuses to forget his African past. The mantra is repeated through the generations. You must always honour your ancestors.
The 400,000 Africans brought to Barbados in chains and their descendants who were born and died enslaved are now silent and invisible. Just like those who laboured at Newton Plantation. Buried in unmarked graves, forgotten, perhaps forever.
So, there's no monument to slavery in Barbados. Yet Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson, a man who defended slavery when others were calling for its abolition, has pride of place in Bridgetown.
As far as I know, there is no monument to Winston Churchill, that other hero of the British Empire, and why would there be? After all Barbados is now an independent country with both eyes scanning the future.
But Barbados could do well to remember Churchill's words. A nation that forgets its past, has no future.
So, where's the monument?

Cashless Grocery Store Doesn't Want Your Money
in Grocery & Retail News — Thursday, August 18, 2016, 9:10 AM
A newly-opened grocery store says it has just about everything you need. But in order to shop there, there's something you're going to need – a credit or debit card, or your phone. Because this store doesn't have cashiers – and it doesn't take cash.
Britain's Waitrose grocery chain has become the country's first major supermarket to open a completely cashless store. Customers use the store's mobile app to scan their own items as they shop, then they stop by one of five self-service checkouts to pay by card or with a mobile device. Coupons will reduce your total, but slow you down – since they will have to be handled by one of the store's attendants.
It's all about convenience in the small, 1,400-square-foot store. But it's also something of a move toward what some say is the inevitability of our transformation into a cashless society.
So could this be an idea that catches on in the U.S.?
Earlier this year, Bloomberg's editorial board called on the country to bid good riddance to cash. Paper bills and metal coins are "dirty and dangerous, unwieldy and expensive, antiquated and so very analog," they wrote in an editorial entitled "Bring On the Cashless Future".
But in this era of data breaches and digital concerns, cash is actually making something of a comeback. According to the National Grocers Association, credit and debit cards made up 47% of total grocery dollar sales last year. But that was way down from a high of 61% just two years earlier. Cash made up 32% of total sales, considerably higher than 2013's figure of 23%.
The move away from plastic cards and toward paper money came as a third of those surveyed for the study said security concerns had prompted them to use cash more frequently.
As recent coupon redemption figures show, just because something can be done digitally, doesn't mean most shoppers prefer to do it that way. Even though digital coupons are all the rage, for example, the most recent figures from Inmar show that they made up less than 3% of all coupons redeemed so far this year, compared to 36% from the Sunday newspaper.
So plenty of American shoppers who are still fond of good old-fashioned paper might not be so thrilled with the idea of a grocery store that doesn't accept cash.
But it's only one store for now, and a small one at that. So Waitrose's experiment isn't affecting a whole lot of people. But for proponents of a truly cashless society, in which our payment methods and coupons all live on our phone instead of in our wallet – it's a start.
