If you are involved in the blogging world, you probably already know a little about WordPress. However, many people don't really understand the greatness of this platform or how it can help them. The following information can benefit you in understanding WordPress.
If your post title is really long, cut down the length of the web page permalink. This would be a URL that is too long: "Ten Parenting Methods For Taming Kids The Smart Way." You can change that permalink to " parenting-tips-unruly-kids" or similar based on SEO keywords.
Make it a point to become familiar with all options and tools that are available for working with WordPress. For instance, the button "kitchen sink" gives you a plethora of choices for formatting and importing content into your posts. Also check out "screen options" for admin functions. That will help you with formatting.
The posts you make always appear in chronological order, unless you specify otherwise. To change it, modify the date. Do this by opening a post. You'll see the date in the top right. Change the date by clicking on it, and save the post to change the order of posts.
Do your posts attract a lot of comments? If so, weeding through all the comments may be difficult for you and for other visitors. Use a plugin to insert page numbers in the comments area. This makes for easier navigation and a more organized site.
Use titles and descriptions that have targeted keywords. Your potential readers see these first because of search engine listings. This gives them great significance. You can use Scribe, which will help you control this on WordPress. You can then edit some of these items to make sure more people come to your site.
Keep your plugins updated. You can make a powerful website using plugins. But like any other software, it is important to update it. Not keeping up with the latest versions can mean that versions you have now will suddenly stop working or cause other problems.
Make sure your site has the most recent version of WordPress. There are security patches included in updates that will eliminate any vulnerabilities. Your site can be at risk for malware attacks if you're not using the most current version. Install every update possible that you can.
To link your blog posts on your blog or website, make use of a plugin that will allow you to do just that. With these plugins, up to five links appear following each post. These links are related to the tag relevance of the posts that appear on your site.
Use WordPress to schedule your blog post's publication dates ahead of time. This will save you a lot of time in the long run. Locate your edit page and find the publish box. Click "Publish Immediately" under that. Change that so that it will change it to the time and date you want to publish it. Select OK. When a screen appears for the "schedule for", check it on and press "Schedule" if the info is correct.
Read user reviews prior to installing a plugin. Almost anyone can create a plugin. You shouldn't use plugins with a lot of reported flaws or bugs. Highly rated plugins with lots of downloads are generally safe.
Have you had enough of the clutter involved in WordPress? You can turn off a number of the on-page boxes you see. Look for "Screen Options" in the WordPress window to find them. Click this to access a drop-down menu where you can turn boxes on and off.
Choose a host for WordPress with tools that allow WordPress to be installed easily. This will prevent the need to create a separate database. The host will also be able to make you a blog domain.
Your WordPress site should have comments enabled. This lets you connect with your readers more. You can get plugins that allow you to filter content from others.
Highlight your own comments. Users tend to ask questions and write concerns in the comments section. The author's response to these comments can easily be missed, especially if there are many comments. Be sure an author's comments are highlighted in a contrasting color. You will be able to see them clearly and find them when you need to.
Before beginning to create a WordPress site, take the time to draft a plan. List all that you wish to accomplish with your website along with what readers should get from it. This allows you to shape your website around your plans.
Images can increase the value of your blog. The cliche that a picture has the value of a thousand words still resonates today. It will give your site much more drama. Be sure you use alternate text and title tags to explain your pictures so that the search engines and readers know what your picture is about.
While a plugin may not be free, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't try it. Think about how long it will take you to make something like that; then, compare it to the cost. You have much more time to do things when features are available to you, even if they cost a little something at the outset.
It's not necessary for you to do all your site work alone. You could hire someone or find a friend or family member who is more experienced than you. It's always best to ensure that the job is done properly the first time.
Prior to thinking about what you want your WordPress site to look like, take the time to find help resources. Look for groups and forums to advise you on navigating through WordPress issues. Whether you have an issue with a plugin or a theme, they'll be able to help you find the answers you seek.
WordPress is not a new program, and many bloggers have at minimum a passing familiarity in it over the years. However, WordPress' true potential has yet to be experienced by many of its users. Hopefully, your efforts will be fruitful.

It's a dark day for clubland as it was announced in the early hours of this morning that London club fabric will remain closed after having its licence revoked by Islington Council.
Members of the council sat down yesterday evening at Islington Town Hall with representatives from fabric, Islington Public Health Authority, Islington License Authority and the Metropolitan Police. The hearing, which lasted more than six hours, reached its damning conclusion just after 1 AM on Wednesday morning, in spite of the #savefabric campaign, which saw an online petition gain more than 140,000 signatures.
Subcommittee Chair Flora Williamson announced: "A culture of drugs exists at the club which the existing management and security appear incapable of controlling," she concluded. "This subcommittee has considered adding further conditions, but has come to the conclusion that this would not address the serious concern that they have with management of the premises."
The club has since released a statement, which reads: "fabric is extremely disappointed with Islington Council's decision to revoke our license. This is an especially sad day for those who have supported us, particularly the 250 staff who will now lose their jobs. Closing fabric is not the answer to the drug-related problems clubs like ours are working to prevent, and sets a troubling precedent for the future of London's night time economy."

GREENVILLE, Pa.—The student radio and television stations at Thiel College, a leading liberal arts college in northwest Pennsylvania, were nominated for 11 Golden Mic Awards by the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System.
The radio station, WXTC 88.1FM, was nominated for five Golden Mic Awards, and Thiel's student television studio, TCTV, was nominated for six Golden Mic Awards.
The Intercollegiate Broadcasting System is a 78-year-old national organization that supports and recognizes excellence in high school and college student broadcasting. Golden Mic Awards are presented during IBS's national yearly conference in New York City in March.
More than 2,500 submissions were received this year by the IBS awards committee from high schools and colleges across the country in a wide range of categories, such as sports programming, news, specialty shows, comedy, best interview, and others.
IBS also recognizes student media management with Golden Mic Management Awards. This year WXTC's Production Director Dan Wagner '18, of Espyville, Pa., is nominated for the third time for excellence in radio production. He was the national winner in 2016. Gabriella Vapenik '20, of Strongsville, Ohio, has been recognized as WXTC's promotions director. This is her first award nomination.
"I'm really excited! I've never had anything like this happen before," Vapenik said. "I work hard for the station and it's so amazing to be recognized for it."
WXTC's other nominations include:
WXTC has been nominated for IBS Golden Mic Awards for four consecutive years.
"This is huge for us!" said Peg Watts, Managing Adviser for WXTC, and an adjunct professor of Thiel's Department of Media, Communication & Public Relations. "The competition is fierce for Golden Mic Awards and we're a small liberal arts college. To be nominated at all really is a big deal. This is student media's version of the Emmys or Grammys."
TCTV also made a strong showing. TCTV is nominated for a second consecutive year in production and programming. The TCTV nominations are:
"TCTV is thrilled to be nominated for six IBS awards in five different categories. Twenty students were involved in producing these video projects for both class assignments and student-led programming for TCTV," said TCTV's faculty adviser Professor Ross Nugent of the Department of Media, Communication and Public Relations.
WXTC-FM and TCTV are both housed in the $6.8 million James Pedas Communication Center, a collaborative learning community where students engage in film, TV, radio, news production and other multimedia-rich experiences that prepare them for today's information society. The building's features include sophisticated labs and studios, dynamic classrooms and learning spaces, the Office of Admission and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design building certification.
"Professors Nugent and Watts intensively work with a small number of dedicated and creative students to regularly produce excellent programs, promotions, and student leadership performances," said the Executive Director of the James Pedas Communication Center and Chair of the Department of Media, Communication and Public Relations, Dane S. Claussen, Ph.D. "It's appropriate, and inspiring, that IBS recognizes the work of our students and faculty year after year."
Claussen also is the James Pedas Professor of Media, Communication and Public Relations.
Staff members from both Thiel student media are headed to the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City for the 78th Annual IBS Conference and Awards Presentations on March 1.
Thiel College is a private liberal arts institution founded in the Lutheran tradition. Located in Greenville, Pa., the College offers 60 majors and minors, 24 varsity sports, and an 11:1 student-faculty ratio. A dedicated faculty paired with dynamic research and internship opportunities produce numerous graduate school and job placements. Coeducational from its beginnings, the College celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2016 and remains committed to combining tradition with innovation.

Go green, go coconutty
As the year draws to an end, here are some fun mocktails you can serve during the many weddings, parties and social events coming up. Go green, go Coconutty! Let a bit of Harry Belafonte enter your lives and call out to the coconut-uh woman and enjoy the heady mix of different juices and fruits with our best thirst quencher: daab er pani. Here's looking to a healthy November!
Used as an intravenous saline drip for many allied forces soldiers during the WWII, green coconut water is also believed to bestow spiritual growth according to the Hindu religion. In ancient times, Women in Hawaii were not allowed to eat coconuts just as they are still not allowed to touch a coconut tree in Bali, for fear of draining the tree of its fertility.
Coconuts are known to have originated from regions around the Indian ocean and due to their buoyancy, their seeds have travelled far and wide now available in all tropical destinations. The coconut palm is known as kalpa vriksha in Sanskrit, meaning "tree which gives all that is necessary for living," because nearly all parts of the tree can be used in some manner or another.
½ kg boneless skinless chicken breasts
Handful of chopped spring onions
1 red bell pepper, sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
1 large carrot, peeled and shredded
2 jalapeño or larger chilis, seeded and minced
1 cup shiitake mushrooms, sliced (available in dried form as well)
4 cups chicken stock
500 ml of 1 can full-fat coconut milk
1 tbsp. fish sauce
1 tsp. lemon zest
Fresh minced herbs, such as coriander or basil/tulsi
Lime wedges (for serving)
1 tbsp. organic ghee (my regular readers know how I advise using organic ghee.. though sparingly!)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
In a large wok or pan, sautee the spring onions, garlic and ginger, stirring frequently, until softened. Add the carrot, red bell pepper, jalapeño, and mushroom, and cook until softened. Add the chicken, chicken stock, coconut milk, and fish sauce. Bring the soup to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked thoroughly. Remove the chicken
from the soup and shred it into chunks, before returning it to the pot. Stir in the lemon zest, the fresh herbs, salt and pepper to taste, and remove from the heat.
Garnish each bowl with a lime wedge to serve.
Pina Colada (virgin): Which literally means strained pineapple
From tales of a pirate who used a delicious concoction to keep his crew from dipping into depression, to bartenders in San Juan, Puerto Rico contesting to be the original concocters of this feel good drink, we can kick our shoes off, sit back and relax to enjoy the depth of flavors of the Pina Colada.
1 large pineapple,
coconut cream and brown sugar (optional)
Coconut cream: 1 cup of shredded coconut added with 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Blend the flakes in a food processor and add some oil to make it into a paste. Preserve this cream.
Take 1 whole pineapple and use a juicer to get its juice. Add about 1 tablespoon of the coconut cream paste into a serving glass and add the pineapple juice with some ice to chill it. You may add one teaspoon of brown sugar per glass but the pineapple juice should be sweet enough on its own.
Sprinkle a few mint leaves on top and serve it chilled.
Earnest Hemingway visited a little bar in Cuba called "La Bodeguita del Medio" and fell in love with the drink they served him. It consisted of rum, coconut water, lime and some other flavors but today we know this drink as a mojito!
200 ml Coconut water
200 ml Watermelon juice
1 chopped lemon
¼ cup mint leaves
2 teespoons of honey
Alternately, you can substitute the watermelon juice with some papaya juice
Roughly chop the mint leaves as well the 1 lemon and add 2 of teaspoons of honey and mix it. Then add ice to the glass and pour over 200g of blitzed seeded watermelon and 200ml of the coconut water.
Serve it with barbequed food to get a true sense of the tastes of this virgin mojito
Coconut Coffee Frappe
250-300 ml coconut water
1/2 a can of organic coconut milk (stir before adding it)
1 cup of ice
1 fresh double espresso
1 tbs organic coconut oil
Get all the ingredients out and ready, brew your double espresso then start to prepare the ingredients
Empty the coconut water and half can of coconut milk into a blend then add the coconut oil, add the ice and if you want, you may add a few good dollops of double cream. Add the espresso last and blend for 30 seconds and serve straight away in a cold tall glass
Dress with a fresh sprig of mint or a swirl of thick coffee on top.

I just can't figure out how to remove the auto-numbering from the TOC title. It should not be the first chapter.

#Review : Daughter Of The House (Cornish Tales #5) by Victoria Cornwall @VickieCornwall #DaughterOfTheHouse #CornishTales @ChocLituk
Hello my lovely reader's! Today I have the huge pleasure to be sharing with you all my review of the amazing Daughter of the House by the very talented Victoria Cornwall. My, goodness this book is just so good! But, don't just take my word for it, go and take a peek for yourself.
Evelyn Pendragon is spirited but lonely, and largely ignored by her parents whose attentions are taken up with her brother, Nicholas: the expected heir to the family's Cornish estate and the one who will carry on the Pendragon name.
Stifled by her aristocratic existence, Evelyn finds companionship in an unlikely place when she befriends Drake Vennor, an apprentice gardener on the estate.
But When Evelyn's life is thrown into turmoil by a tragedy, she realises just how much she has come to rely on Drake. Will family expectations and the burden of the Pendragon name mean she must turn her back on him when she needs him the most?
What a magical story, Victoria Cornwall has done it again! This is book five in the Cornish Tales series, and what I love about this series is that yes, there is something that links them all together, but it's not huge that you need to read them all in order to understand what's going on. To be perfectly honest, it wasn't until this one that I even realised what the link was, and I've read them from the beginning. These beautiful books are very much stand-alones, they all have their own unique stories and character's which you will instantly fall in love with whilst reading.
Evelyn Pendragon (don't you just love that name?) is the second and seemingly unwanted child of Sir Robert Pendragon, she is practically ignored by everyone except her older brother – and favourite child – Nicholas. She lives a lonely life when her brother is with tutors and his parents, she is spirited and wants more than to just sit quietly. She finds that once her governess has dozed off after an afternoon of reading Evelyn can sneak off to her favourite place; the garden! She loves watching Timmons; the head gardener and loves staring out over the beautiful gardens – usually from her perch atop of one of the many statues – it is whilst out amongst the roses; quite literally that she first meets the young Drake Vennor, the new gardeners apprentice and soon the aristocratic lady and the apprentice gardener are soon firm friends.
When her beloved bother sadly passes away, to stop her cousin Mawgan from inheriting the estate Evelyn's father names her as head of the estate ans soon she is in full training, doing what she would never have thought possible for a mere woman. It is in these difficult times that her friendship with Drake really comes into it's own, as he is enduring the hard training of being the apprentice gardener and she her own estate training they soon find that they need each other more than they even imagined. I love this part of the story, they really come to each others aid when needed. This is what is so special about Evelyn and Drake they are made to be together, they are a loving couple who really see each other for who they are, but it is the fact that they are true friends first and that is the basis of their relationship. But, all doesn't exactly go to plan and there is far more in store for both Drake and Evelyn.
I absolutely loved the start of this, the prologue is set in 1870, sixteen years before the actual story begins and it definitely makes you stop and think; well what is going to happen here? There is an edgier feel to that, which will grab your attention and make you keep turning the pages with lightning speed wanting to know what will happen.
Anyone who has ever read a Victoria Cornwall book, then you will know just how gifted she is, and this one is right up there with the best. I love how it tells the story of Evelyn and Drake from first meeting as children's they grow up into adults. Their love is solid and eternal, from being children you can so easily see that they have a special connection that lasts.
The story is solid, it takes the reader on a wonderfully crafted and engaging journey as Evelyn and Drake find their way in the world, their romance is captivating, it's so tender and sensual it makes the heart melt watching as they find their happiness with each other.
Daughter of the House is a magical, loving and enchanting romance that will stay with you long after the last page. As always Ms Cornwall has deftly woven a tale of love, lies, secrets and intrigue all wrapped up with a romantic bow. What a real treat!
A gorgeous romance, that has real heart!
This was an Arc copy via the publisher in exchange for an honest review, thank you Liz!
Daughter of The House is available now and can be found at Amazon and do grab it while you can.

Held together by an overarching desire to display excellence and a humble confidence that it can overcome all, the Ohio State men's volleyball team has stayed consistent amid its journey near the top of the national rankings.
After a blistering run through many of the nation's premier teams, OSU is now perched just a notch below the top of the coaches rankings and at the peak of the Midwest Intercollegiate Volleyball Association standings.
The Buckeyes (23-3, 13-1) are on a run of wins dating all the way back to early February. Since then, the Scarlet and Gray have accumulated 15 consecutive wins. That run, which is the longest the program has had since 2011, has carried the Scarlet and Gray to the No. 2 spot in the Week 13 national rankings, only trailing BYU with seven first-place votes to the Cougars' nine. At one point, in the Week 11 poll, the Buckeyes were slotted at the very top.
"It's awesome. In the years that I've been here this is the best team that I have been on and I love every second of it," said redshirt junior outside hitter Alex Judkins. "We're pretty humble about it (because) it's just a number, really."
The team is trying not to get too high or low because of the ranking, yet it can't help but have an immense feeling of positivity in regards to its current situation.
"I think the only expectation we have is to play up to the level of play we've set for ourselves," said OSU coach Pete Hanson. "We just have to make sure we can continue to move forward from whatever happens."
This humble mentality is one that permeates through his players. The group is striving to maintain the ability to keep one's mind clear, yet have a strong enough focus on the impending hurdle, only thinking about the next opponent and not the energy surrounding the event.
"The team is excited right now, but we don't want it to get to our heads," said senior outside hitter Peter Edwards. "We have to continue to play well because it only puts a target on our back having that (ranking)."
The players have taken on the focused mentality that the coach challenged them to obtain, keeping only in mind the next opponent and how they will go about trying to beat it.
A facet of the team that helps to sustain the strong bond between the unit is the confidence that someone will step up each night and bring whatever is needed to the table in order to win. The team knows that each member is equally important if it's going to succeed consistently and stay on the winning path.
"It allows the team to be consistent even when the players are inconsistent," Edwards said. "You need the team to continue to play well and it doesn't put pressure on one person or two people to play well."
Although the Buckeyes are able to rely on the sum of the parts rather than a lone player, the Scarlet and Gray have had impressive individual performers this season.
Sophomore outside hitter Nicolas Szerszen and junior outside hitter Miles Johnson have received national recognition this season for their head-turning play on the court. Johnson is one of only 15 players in OSU history to be honored with the American Volleyball Coaches Association's national player of the week award. Szerszen is a multi-time recipient of the MIVA's offensive player of the week award. Meanwhile, Junior outside hitter Gabriel Domecus has also garnered MIVA defensive player of the week honors.
The Buckeyes have taken down multiple highly ranked teams on their current streak, legitimizing their record. OSU defeated then-No.1 Long Beach State on March 12, while also toppling two-time defending national champion Loyola twice. On March 25, OSU took down No. 9 Ball State to grab possession of first place in the MIVA. Then, on Tuesday night, the Buckeyes swept No. 11 Penn State to keep their ship sailing smooth.
Going into games with such high-profile opponents isn't something the Buckeyes back down from, Hanson said. Instead, they approach those games, as well as the whole season, with a "why not us?" mindset.
"Why let somebody else do it if we're right there and knocking on the door?" Hanson said.

Tonight I'm pensive. I'm reflective and I'm watchful.
There is a slight breeze blowing, yet the air feels thick and still. The sea is rough and yet there is little sound. Sunday nights are quiet here.
I am tired today. My siestas seem to last longer and are much deeper than in my first days in Altea. Today I took two. And, I seemingly sat most of this day, rather than my usual running around up and down the hundreds of stairs going from one part of town to the other. Stopping allowed my body to feel its true self, and its true self is tired.
In a few days I will have been here for one month. This fact is seemingly hard to believe. I have a life here. I have friends. I have those I look forward to seeing and with whom I look forward to spending time. The characters who fill the shops, cafes, streets and restaurants have become a sort of community for me. I love these people. I long for them to know good and be blessed with every spiritual blessing. I long for them to know life and walk in it. I want that for the students too.
It is now mid-afternoon. Last night, my tiredness took over and I did not finish writing.
The day began by me waking 7 minutes before I was to arrive at the first event of the day. This was not a good plan. I woke up to a hot room. Already by early morning the heat was stilling the room and making it heavy. I quickly prepared myself for the day and made the hike down the stairs to the home where we'd spend the next couple hours as a group.
Our time was good, but I can tell that most are tired, feeling the pressure of meeting with friends they've met while here and they are wanting to squeeze as much into their time as possible. I feel this pressure for them. I think it's strange for everyone to have invested so deeply in new friends that now they have to leave.
I'm thankful for the fact that I have another month to stay and invest and learn. It frees me of the pressure of leaving and needing to balance all of the good-byes.
My mind wonders as I write.
I think back over the stories I've encountered over the last few weeks and I'm so thankful!
Here's a snapshot:
1. I swam in the deep dark blue of the Mediterranean Sea at midnight. It was so remarkably peaceful to float and star-gaze at the same time. I could hear the water and the sound of my breath and I felt peace and I knew freedom.
2. I was given the most beautiful dress by my house as a thank you present. And by beautiful I mean… totally and incredibly beautiful. I feel loved, valued and treasured. They have been a gift to me in so many ways.
3. I sat with one of the guys from the trip for four hours talking about Jesus and spiritual warfare and our identities and the Kingdom and it was good. We were given free mojitos too, that was also good.
4. Wednesday night the guys from Hot Home Pizza, which is my favorite place to eat in Altea, invited Ariana and I for mojitos after they got off work. So she and I showed up and the four of us sat around, swapping stories and life until we were all yawning and needed to head home.
5. We hosted an artist named Miriam, whose work is incredibly wonderful last week. She also was the artist for our gallery on Friday evening. Her art created connection through whimsy and thought. She had small surprises set up all over the gallery for people. I LOVED watching the children. They were so filled with wonder over each element and they drew their parents into the wonder. (Oh that we would remain childlike in our wonder of God and His world! He is the God of whimsy and surprises! and it is good.)
6. My days and nights have been filled with deep conversation with students and locals a like. I do not share their stories, but each person with whom I've been able to be in relationship, has shared both heart and story with me and it feels good and heavy and redemptive and beautiful and painful and glorious. I think that is how life is. It is a mix of throwing off the old and putting on the new. I've seen a lot of people put on new these past few weeks.
7. Yesterday our friends from Hot Home Pizza told us they'd like to make paella for us. So they came over for several hours. We ate and laughed and heard their story as a business and hear their story as people. I've come to treasure these men and women. They are friends and I'm so thankful for the time that we've all shared. In the next few weeks, we are going to make dinner for them, with a traditional American meal. I'm excited for this.
8. I've continued to learn the language, soaking in as much as possible. This next month I will have Spanish lessons, one on one with a man from town. I'll speak with him in English for an hour and then he'll speak with me in Spanish. I'm so excited about this!
9. I miss my friend Sara from Altearte, another cafe in town. I look forward to seeing her and spending some more time with her. It is an amazing reminder to me, the power of invitation. And how friends can be made so easily, when we make the effort.
10. Each day I awake wondering what the day will hold and what I'll observe and how God will use it in my life. I don't yet know how this season will play into my future or how God will encourage me through it, but I look forward to learning.
I feel a bit like this blog is filled with rabbit trails and leap frogs; jumping from story and thought to story and thought. But I do know a few things. God is in the details. He reveals himself through whimsy. He desires us to be conduits of relationship to everyone… everywhere. One does not have to leave their country to live a life that pours into others. That can happen right in our own neighborhoods, stores, cafes and streets. We simply must look for relationship and love with action. (I am sure there will be much more said about this topic.)
I'm off for lunch now. Tonight I move to the other house by the beach as Ariana heads back to the States. I will have to make reasons to climb the stairs daily, as it's very good for me.
Look today for whimsy. Look today for God. Look today for ways to love. Then maybe, take the time to tell someone the story of how you encountered God and people!

FRIENDS OF AYTOUN HALL (F of AH) MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
David Homewood – Convener
Bill Adam – Treasurer
Maureen Duncan-Smith
Lucy Gladwell
Jim Healy
Alasdair Kay
Graeme McCall
Douglas Young
Jenny Haldane – Vice Convener
Eleanor Aitken
Shona Stewart
With the AGM completed the Convener commenced the business meeting by stating there was a need primarily to pin down details for the Lunchtime Concerts, which were imminent, but that there were some other matters to discuss and pass on information.
The minutes of the last meeting held on 8th May were agreed as a true record out of session and released into the public domain on 22nd May. There was one amendment made to the minutes proposed by Douglas Young in the Social Media paragraph, which now reads, "….nothing to report other than one or two posts per week on the F of AH Facebook page."
A simple financial statement (Enclosure 1) had been produced by the Treasurer. He advised that the 2019 Quiz, now concluded, had produced an income of £249 in the current period; a further £116 had been made in the previous period. Thus total Quiz income came to £365. Inventory purchases had cost £98 for 2 cocktail stand tables now in the front gallery. The bank balance currently stood at £17,330.03p.
Management Information
Maintenance & Repair costs had been requested some weeks ago. To date, details had not been forthcoming. The Convener said that he knew the delay was owing to heavy workload. He felt that repair costs for the Clock Tower Roof would exceed £140K over the past two years. Major water ingress problems remained, which was evident in the Council Chambers and on the stairs leading to it. It was clear that the community could not take on the overall responsibility of the Aytoun Hall.
Events & Fundraising Projects
Lunchtime Concerts – Thursday, 13th & Friday, 14th June. Maureen Duncan-Smith said she would join the Convener at the set-up of the Aytoun Hall on Wednesday, 12th June at 9pm. It was agreed that Maureen would organised the catering and volunteer participation, whilst the Convener would organise the layout of the hall and liaise with the school. Graeme McCall would put up feather banners, gazebos and A-frame at 10am on each day. Maureen would be present on the Friday, but not the Thursday. No more than 3 volunteers were needed to serve refreshments. Limited home baking would be provided together with tea/coffee. The Treasurer could not be present at the events, therefore the Convener agreed to bank all donations.
Tapestry Project. The next Tapestry Tea would take place on 13th August.
2019 Quiz. Significant Income from the quiz had been made. The winner had been a local lady, Agnes Brown. Café Kisa had sold a lot of quiz sheets and had been a key factor in boosting income.
Coop Bag Pack – Saturday, 14th September. Detailed planning and a volunteer roster could be left to the September meeting, but preparation required dissemination of information about the event, identification notices and name badges would be required to make it clear that the Friends of Aytoun Hall were the charity present.
Autumn Coffee Morning – Saturday, 21st September. The Aytoun Hall had been booked, but detailed planning could be left until the September meeting. Nothing further had been heard from the Camera Club about exhibiting a photo display of the High Street.
Volunteers' Lunch – Friday, 22nd November. The Institute and Galley Kitchen had been booked. The event would take place between 12.15pm and 1.30pm. Detailed planning would take place at the September meeting.
New Booking System
Posters with details of new contacts had been displayed (Enclosure 2) and had been placed on the Facebook page. The Convener said he had tested the system by downloading a booking form from the Live Active Leisure (LAL) website and completing it on his PC. He said that the LAL staff at the CS of A would remain in place until 28th June. Revised booking forms were available in the Aytoun Hall Office from hall keepers. Any criticism of the new system should not be made until clear evidence of any failure is presented by users.
May Stock Check. Jim Healy said the 50% May stock check had been completed. He had purchased replacement infra-red food thermometers in the Commercial and Galley kitchens at a cost of £38.
Laminator. The Convener had purchased a Laminator at a cost of £16.75p. Jim Healy confirmed that the item had been brought to account.
Social Media & WiFi
Social Media.
Douglas Young had nothing new to report, but he and Lucy Gladwell considered that the 2 vacancies on the Management Committee be advertised on social media. This was agreed.
The Convener said he had passed notices to Douglas Young to load onto the F of AH Facebook page to advertise and encouraged entrepreneurial events taking place in the Aytoun Hall.
WiFi. The PKC Smart City Project Officer had made a case to fund free WiFi in the High Street, using the Aytoun Hall as the hub and main internet access point. The case was being considered by PKC management. No decision had yet been forthcoming. The Convener added that he hoped the need to re-register every fortnight on the current Aytoun Hall WiFi system would be discarded with any changes introduced.
Solheim Cup/Lamp Post Banners
PKC had changed 25 of the lamp post banners in the town and on the access road to Gleneagles Station with Solheim Cup banners. The remaining 25 that were owned by the Auchterarder Community Partnership (ACP) remained in place. The Convener said that he had been encouraged by the PKC Environmental Services Green Space Manager to submit a shared funding grant application on behalf of the Community Council to replace the ex-ACP banners in due course. The cost would be approximately £2,500 for manufacture and siting. The grant application had been for £1,200 with the remaining £1,300 coming from ex-ACP money held by the Community Council. Designs would be undertaken by PKC at no cost. Selection of designs would be for the Community Council to decide, but 4 banners could carry the Aytoun Hall silhouette and Friends of Aytoun Hall's logo and slogan. Should this initiative require
additions to the grant, the committee was asked if it would agree to cover any financial gap. This was agreed.
Hanging Baskets
Graeme McCall confirmed that 4 hanging baskets for the front of the Aytoun Hall would be in place within the next fortnight. Agreed cost was £200, to include maintenance.
The next meeting would be a Business meeting on Wednesday, 11th September 2019 commencing at 7.30pm in the Council Chambers.
Future schedule of meetings in 2019: Wednesday 20th November – Business meeting.

Dupont T: Spider's Dance
There's a mathematical hard-nose, but it's still sniffing around the corners of jazz traditionalism, particularly during what have to be called the "ballad numbers. The disc opens with some heavily processed piano, in the manner of Craig Taborn, letting "Spider off the leash, free to skitter around, just like its namesake. The piece begins like it's already in midstream, with Mahanthappa and Dupont playing fast licks in tandem, establishing a mood of brooding darkness.
Although residing in Paris since 1989, Dupont grew up in Lyon, starting out playing electric rock guitar. Receiving upright bass lessons from JF Jenny-Clark soon put paid to that. Dupont's pliable thickness lies at the core of this quartet sound, with strings often harassed down to near-breaking point, rejoicing in a dark snap. Mahanthappa displays his rooting in Indian classical patterns on the introduction to the placid "Irid, with "1010 next up, converting to a bullish speediness, complex and tough. Bass strings are radically loosened on "Moundéle, leading up to a savagely flayed solo, answered in rough kind by Mahanthappa's uncharacteristically coarse alto.

Houston man who said he shot wife while 'sleepwalking' sentenced to 75 years
A Houston man who claimed he shot his wife six times because he was "sleepwalking" was sentenced to 75 years in prison Friday for her death, the Harris County District Attorney's Office announced.
Raymond Gene Lazarine, 67, had verbally and physically abused his wife, Deborah Lazarine, for years, according to prosecutors. He was convicted of murder in her death on Dec. 18, 2013.
Lazarine's adult children testified that their father was often drunk and abusive during their childhood. They said they still fear him and worry that he'll kill them if he were released, according to a news release from the district attorney's office.
Defense attorneys argued during the murder trial that Lazarine was sleepwalking when he killed his wife of 35 years and he didn't do it intentionally.
Lazarine will be eligible for parole when he is 97.

Scheherazade (Vinyl LP)
Scheherazade (Vinyl LP)
A classical rock concept album, first released in 1975 and featuring the wonderful vocals of Annie Haslam, performing songs inspired by Rimsky-Korsakov's 'Scheherazade', as well as other charming folk/jazz flavoured songs like 'Trip To The Fair'. Renaissance took their move towards orchestral music to the ultimate conclusion with the creation of this homage to the 'Tales Of The Arabian Nights'. With a string section supporting the regular band, there are many musical delights to savour.
The line-up features John Tout (keyboards), John Camp (bass), Terence Sullivan (drums) and Michael Dunford (acoustic guitars and vocals), augmented by strings arranged by Tony Cox.
Annie Haslam's voice is at its most beautiful on the yearning 'Trip To The Fair', but it is the nine-part 'Song Of Scheherazade' that stretches the capabilities of the musicians as they embark on a classical odyssey, as fascinating as the tales the Princess told the Sultan during her '1001 Nights'. John Tout's piano playing is superb throughout, and the production by David Hitchcock ensures that this is gripping and ambitious musical entertainment with timeless appeal.
Expertly remastered for LP – superb sound – top quality reproduction on 180g vinyl.

Meteorology is an interesting hobby that draws more and more people into its spell. With hardly any other leisure activity can nature, physics and technology be combined in such a fascinating way. However, there are other reasons to buy a weather station: gardeners, farmers or outdoor athletes use the exact local weather forecasts for their hobby or profession.
The range of digital and analog weather stations is huge. Sometimes it can be very difficult to make an optimal choice right from the start. This comparison of the best weather stations tells you what to look for when buying your own meteorological station.
Top 10 Weather Stations
How does a weather station work?
Each weather station usually works on the same principle: The sensors absorb the current environmental influences. From these conclusions then the further development of the weather is forecasted. The simple analog models provide only the basic information about temperature, air pressure, and humidity.
The digital weather stations, on the other hand, provide more precise forecasts with partly very differentiated measurement results, which can be automatically converted into meaningful forecasts if desired. Among other things, the length of the interval in which the measurement data is updated is decisive for the measurement accuracy of a digital weather station.
In order to obtain very accurate results, short intervals and frequent updates are necessary, which is technically more complex. The latest generation of digital weather stations not only works with PCs but can also use specialized apps to send the measured data and resulting results to mobile devices.
What functions should a weather station possess?
First, you will probably want to know what the weather will be like during the day or the next day. That's the main job of a weather station and it has to be. The weather stations are now available in many different versions.
Whether it is a satellite-based weather station, hygro-thermometer or a professional device including wind and precipitation measurement, depends on personal needs. Before buying a weather station, you should first ask yourself the following questions:
- what do you want to measure with a weather station?
- which functions should the wireless weather station offer?
- which models are available?
- what to look for before buying?
- does the station suit your location?
You can get some tips and tricks on the Internet or in specialist shops. If you know the answers to these questions, then a small preselection can be made for the time being. The weather stations provide you with very accurate information about the current weather conditions and their appearance is usually modern and chic. New weather stations with many different functions are regularly developed.
However, not all features will be needed, some of them are just gimmicks. Keep in mind that the more features a device offers, the higher the purchase price. A weather station is generally considered as a source of information and provides information about the indoor and outdoor temperature – for this purpose, wireless weather stations were originally developed.
So if you are only interested in this information, you can actually choose any basic model. In addition to the current temperature display, a weather forecast is certainly a useful thing, especially if you are planning a party in the garden in the next few days and are therefore dependent on the weather.
The weather stations provide very reliable data in the prediction. In addition, models have added that measure relative humidity and air pressure. The latest models also come with a rain gauge, which would be of benefit to gardeners. Even if you are planning a long bike ride, a wireless weather station is a welcome aid so you do not have to do the tour in heavy gusts of wind.
The anemometer shows you the current situation. In the cold seasons, a frost detector can also be useful. When it does occasionally freeze in the spring, the weather station is a useful and practical tool to help you protect your plants in the garden in time. Devices with these features are already available for little money.
In summary, it can be said that the functions of a weather station are very versatile today. However, the display of indoor and outdoor temperature is one of the basic features of any wireless weather station. These functions should have a good weather station:
- Display of indoor and outdoor temperature
- Display of date and time
- Weather forecast
- Wind and rain gauge
- Air pressure and humidity measurement.
What types of weather stations are there?
Until recently, there were only analog weather stations in many private households. They determine the temperature, air pressure, and humidity. These combinations of three classic meters have recently been replaced more and more by digital weather stations. Even more modern are the wireless weather stations, which are satellite-based.
The range of weather stations for private households is very extensive, the differences between the individual models and weather station types are not only in the price but also in the functions.
- Analog weather stations
This type of device has been known for a long time and comes as a set of the well-known thermometer (measures temperature), barometer (measures change in air pressure) and hygrometer (measures relative humidity). In terms of appearance, they generally have a somewhat less technical effect than the digital devices and therefore fit less discreetly into the interior of the living room. One of the advantages of these models is their attractive appearance, their robustness, and reliability. To the minus points, one must add the less developed technology and the lack of additional functions.
- Digital weather stations
Compared to analog devices, the digital weather stations are much more complex. This concerns both the scope and the structure: In addition to the base station, special sensors for collecting measurement data belong to a conventional digital weather station. Some models can also be connected to a computer. This gives you an even wider range of possibilities: The data collected can be converted to easy-to-understand graphics and diagrams using software that even monitor and visualize the weather over an extended period of time. consider the more complex and extensive the sensor array, the more meaningful the final result is. The high-end models can quite reliably calculate a trend for the next few days, whereas the simpler wireless models usually only provide a rough statement for the next 24 hours. Among the advantages of the digital weather stations are especially the many additional functions, and these are also space-saving. However, digital devices can be quite prone to failure.
- Satellite-based weather stations
Further developed in the technical sense are the satellite-based weather stations, which rely on the support of real weather satellites. As a result, they provide a lot of detailed and reliable results. The measured data are transferred almost directly from space to the local weather station. Combined with the data from their own sensors, the satellite-based weather stations, with the right configuration, can deliver very accurate and far-reaching weather forecasts. Such devices are in demand especially in agriculture, where one is dependent on timely weather warnings. A satellite-based weather station works much faster and more reliably than a conventional model because the weather satellites in space see the possible cloud fronts wind up much earlier.
- detailed results
- far-reaching forecasts
- precise information.
However, such models are not particularly cheap and only recommended if you use them regularly and to a certain extent.
What to look for when buying a weather station?
An important purchase criterion is the climatic zones of the earth, which is only aware of the fewest consumers before the purchase of a weather station. If you live in a milder climatic zone, then you can assume that the weather station provides reliable data. On the other hand, higher quality appliances are needed if you live in climates that are dominated by many disruptive factors, such as the North Sea coast or the foothills of the Alps.
The interference factors can affect the operation of the weather stations and emptying the batteries faster. Choosing a suitable weather station is no easy task. It depends on your personal needs, whether you opt for a wireless weather station, a weather station with the color display or a design weather station.
First, look at the use and scope of the weather station. Today's weather stations can do much more than just inform about temperature and humidity. First, ask yourself what extent of services you need for your own weather forecasts.
What about usability? Make sure the display is big enough and the data is clearly legible. This is especially true for the elderly, who find it difficult to read the values. A large, well-lit display is always an important factor when buying a weather station.
Furthermore, look at the description of the range of the individual sensors and the placement of the components in the house. The sensors have different ranges. Make sure that the range is at least 100 meters.
Which accessories are useful?
Certain accessories are a mandatory requirement for some models to keep the weather station running smoothly. This is the case, for example, if the basic equipment does not include external sensors and they need to be purchased separately. However, the possible accessories vary from model to model and from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Without sensors, there is no measurement, but some models come as a basic version only and you will need to purchase the outdoor sensors separately to enjoy the full functionality of the weather station.
In some digital weather stations for professional or semi-professional use, the functionality can be extended afterward. It will then be retrofitted with additional sensors that do not originally offer measuring functions, such as lightning detectors, sensors for soil moisture, water temperature and more.
Sometimes you have to replace certain components, such as the temperature cables for the outdoor sensors. In general, the necessary spare parts are easy to order online. Always create a supply of branded batteries so you do not have to miss the operation of your weather station all of a sudden.
Of course, it depends on the operated weather station, which spare parts will be needed in the future. Useful accessories also include adhesive tapes, hooks, and dowels that provide the right grip.
Which alternatives to the weather station are there?
The weather forecasts are among the news since they exist. They are transmitted in the form of newspapers, television or the Internet. Even if you do not want to have a weather station at home – there is always a way to get information about the weather and its development.
The classic media give you the chance to get up to speed on the weather. Virtually any daily paper contains the desired information about how the weather will be up to date and in the next few days. The other alternatives at a glance:
- Weather Portals on the Internet. The online weather data is available around the clock. For this purpose, entire websites were set up to log weather data and pass it on to interested surfers. In addition to the professional offers on the net, there are also some privately operated projects of hobby meteorologists who measure on their own weather data and compare with others.
- The weather apps for mobile devices. Mobile phones have become universal weapons for every occasion. The right app even replaces the weather station. The necessary data is quickly retrieved from the internet. In addition to the paid apps, there are also programs that are free.
- Storm tag – a weather station for the keychain. It is the most original alternative to the weather station. It comes via Kickstarter and is a weather station for the keychain. Storm tag is similar to a trailer, which is connected via a Bluetooth interface with the smartphone. The gadget is about the size of an SD card and collects the data almost incidentally.

Fitness is important for a healthy body, and it is much more than appearing to be healthy and toned. Other important elements are your quality of life — and how long you live. You need to cultivate the mindset that allows you to make the changes needed to take care of yourself for life. This will give you the right tips to get good insight on your fitness journey.
Pick an exercise that is fun and you will be more likely to stick with it. If you find something you enjoy, you might actually anticipate your workout positively.
Counting calories is always a solid approach to getting fit. By counting the calories you consume each day, it can help you lose weight. If you burn more calories than you eat, you will lose weight.
Push-ups are great and simple way to add a nice tone to your triceps. But, rather than doing a typical push up, you can get the best results by facing your hands inward at a 45 degree angle, making your fingers face one another. This exercise is extremely effective.
Be creative when designing your workout routine. Many healthy exercises and activities do not require the use of equipment or a membership at a gym. If you are new to working out, you will want to find an activity that is fun for you, and trying out different activities is important.
A strong core is just as important as nice pecs or biceps. Strong, stable core muscles provide excellent support for all types of exercise. Sit-ups not only help in core strength building, but they also improve your overall level of fitness. Not only will sit-ups increase your strength, they also help you to remain flexible. Sit-ups can really give your ab muscles a good workout.
Try to maintain your bicycling pace somewhere in the range of eighty and one-hundred and ten rotations per minute. This helps put less strain on your knees and it helps you ride quicker and longer without getting tired. Determine your RPM by counting how often your knee comes around in ten seconds, then simply multiple that number by 6. The sum you come up with is the rpm you are currently maintaining.
You can gain more muscle by incorporating more rest into your routine. This will cause your muscles to work harder and will, at the same time, improve your endurance. As an example, you can perform a similar workout for 5 minutes less and still get a great result.
Getting an excellent fit for your shoes can have real fitness benefits. Evenings are the best time to shop for athletic shoes, as your feet get slightly bigger throughout the day. There should at least be a space of half an inch between your big toe and the shoe. You should have room to move your toes.
Try lifting weights to assist you with your running. Don't be like other runners; lift weights! Studies show that those runners that lift weights regularly can run farther and faster without getting tired.
When you are beginning a fitness routine, dog-walking is an excellent, natural way to get your exercise. Your pooch will love going for walks with you and will make a great exercise companion. Start out going slowly. Try a simple walk for a couple of blocks, and then gradually add onto that. Daily walking exercise is a good perk as a dog owner.
When you're ready to sink a straight-on putt, adjust your aim and try to put the ball 17 inches on the far side of the hole. This area is much smoother and a better base to shoot on. This equates to thicker grass blades, and that slows down your ball.
Do television exercise routines for something different. Watch a fitness network on TV or discover fitness shows through on-demand. Learning new moves and not knowing what episode will come next keeps your mind engaged, and the workouts will fly by. If you do not have access to these programs, try finding some online or looking for videos.
Prior to beginning a weight-training program targeting your arms, define your goals. When looking to add muscle mass, start lifting heavier weights to add extra intensity. If you're interested in toning your muscle, do even more repetitions of lower weights instead of increasing the weight.
Although you will need to make some modifications, don't delay getting back to your exercises for too long after a muscle injury. Doing some brief exercises using the injured muscles, at a small fraction of the normal intensity, can actually give the area some good circulation and promote healing. The gradual buildup of resuming a workout will help heal injured muscles by stretching them and getting blood flowing to them.
One easy way to include fitness in your daily routine is to incorporate it into your chores. When cleaning a spill off the floor, perform lunges. Try busting out 10 push ups when you are down there, as well. Small bursts of activity performed over the course of your day add up to big fitness payoffs in the end.
Stretching is important when starting any fitness program. Stretching is essential both before and after your workout. When you do not stretch, you are more prone to injury. Stretching muscles helps to prepare them for a workout yet relaxes them from that workout, as well.
Always look for new ways to increase your fitness and better your health. If you want to make progress on your fitness, then take the advice of this article.
