5th Grade
Bachelor of Arts in English and Graphic Design from Fresno Pacific University
Preliminary Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from Fresno Pacific University
Hello! I'm Ashley Bese, and I'm thrilled to be teaching fifth grade at Immanuel Elementary School. My educational experiences have solidified my calling to become a teacher, and I thank you advance for letting me share the joy of learning with your students. When I'm not in the classroom, I am most often reading, sketching, exploring, or eating ice cream.
The Immanuel family is a community of believers who hold each other up through all circumstances, and in my classroom, we learn to emulate that sense of community as we grow to be a family. I firmly believe that every new day is a chance for a fresh start, and that some of the most important lessons your children will learn at school have nothing to do with textbooks and worksheets. I plan to provide a challenging, exciting, and achievable academic year for your kids, and I am excited to partner with you as we step out in faith and place the year in the Lord's hands. Feel free to contact me as the need arises, and know that I will do my best to stay in frequent communication with you throughout the school year.
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

text: I'm not going to lie - I do not feel prepared for the holidays this year at all. The funny thing is, I was actually ahead of schedule with my packages shipping out...but the rest of my presents are not going very well. We don't even have a tree up. Not festive at the Coogan house this year.


text:
I can't help feeling that this place, country, world is going mad, bad, sad and all that that suggests. I look at the news and see misery on all levels, greed on many levels and mistrust and paranoia all over the place. Whatever happened to the dream? I am sure that when I was a child there was going to be a bright future and prosperity for all, a general improvement in conditions, of life, of technology and a brave new world.
But that was before I had read Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World", or George Orwell's "Animal Farm" or "1984″, and I had no thoughts of alternative agendas and the possibility that we were all living an illusion fed to us and nourished by an other race of beings who had plans that we were not part of, other than being the cattle and sheep to be used in the manufacture of their paradise. By other race I do not mean "aliens" in the sense of extra-terrestrial entities – although I have come to the point where I have actually considered that as a possibility – but I mean a class of people who languish above the relatively lesser classes and poverty levels, controlling the distribution of wealth, controlling the availability of information and controlling the food and materials supplies.
How has this become the state that we find ourselves in today? When did the takeover take place? Is it possible to make a change back to a society that works for the good of all rather than the few? What would we have to do to make that change? Is it enough to make individual efforts to reduce waste and energy usage? Is it enough to follow generally accepted norms of behaviour in an attempt to bring about the change or do we need to have some kind of revolution? It would seem that the governments of all nations are gearing up to defend themselves against their own citizens by arming their police forces, changing laws to allow for easier control, encouraging a sense of self-policing and intolerance amongst society, spreading propaganda to get their message accepted and normalised, and bombarding the populace with placebo entertainment with the apparent aim of diverting attention away from the change to and erosion of everyone's civil liberties.
I begin to despair of this but I realise that that may be what I am supposed to do. It could be that all these things are designed to induce a state of depression and thereby induce subservience in people, if not, ultimately, suicide. So, if that is the case and me being the type of person who is considered a bit rebellious, I am damned if that is going to happen to me! I will try to remain afloat in this sea of despair and find a way to create something out of what I have in order to retain my sanity and afford myself some comfort and security. I will continue to do what I believe is right and try to be community minded in the face of the adversity that surrounds us. I will strive to be the change I wish to see – to somewhat misquote Ghandi – and in my own way be the Utopian I would have the world and its people become.
Maybe by the time I have been writing these things for a while I will be able to get my thoughts into some sort of order and hopefully answer some of the questions I posed above. I will try to stick to this and chronicle some of my steps along the way. I may write a bit about what I am and what I am capable of in order to better understand myself and get a better idea of what I am as a whole when looked at from the outside. Lately it seems as if I am being misunderstood by people who are taking offence at what I do or say, are becoming scared of me because of my size or the expression on my face. It is so hard to 'look' nice – I am smiling on the inside honestly even if it looks like a scowl. All I want to do is to be able to discuss the situation with people rather than just accepting it, but that seems to be something that one is forbidden to do – one must just accept what one is told and say nothing apparently? I am not that kind of person unfortunately for those who would control me. I had a physics teacher once who encouraged us to question everything, and I am afraid I took that to heart as I was already that type of person and his advice gave me license to be me.

text: Since buying my 2014 Camaro last April, I have been wanting to add some stripes of some kind to break up all the red on the car. I finally decided on a theme and got it done. I decided to Yenko-fy my Camaro with 1969 inspired stripes and adding the actual badges on the car. The hood is pretty much a copy of the 69 style while the sides were taken from a Yenko Prototype from 2010 that never turned into any special run of cars. Next mod will more than likely be wheels now, and finally get the Z/28 front splitter on and off the floor of the garage.

Remoting Nomads Zaxnet Antenna
Rafael replied to KGraham045's topic in Equipmentisn't the recorder's body the ground plane of the antenna system ?
was using audioroot BG-DH MKII power distributor and eHRS4-HRS4 regular power cable
Excelente!!!!! some advices from my experience The Audioroot eLC-SMB charger features a battery wake-up function for fully depleted batteries..... but the first time doesn't worked to me the Audioroot dual charguer wake-up function worked fine!! other thing... can't power up my nomad with 45Wh audioroot with regular cable from Audioroot: NOMAD from Zaxcom are fitted with very large capacitors in their internal power supplies. When switching these units ON a very high inrush current occurs because of these capacitors. This inrush current is high enough to make the eSMART Li-45wh battery protection trip. This protection circuit is rated at 4A with inrush current capabilities of 10A for 31ms and 20A for 427us. Your problem can be solved by using a current limiting cable. We can provide this cable under reference eHRS4-HRS4-2.0 or eHRS4-OUT-5.0 depending on your setup (ie if you are using a power distributor to power your NOMAD). If you are used to building your own DC cables you can also simply build and HRS to HRS cable with a 1ohm resistor in series to power your NOMAD. The resistor will act as a current limiter and correct the issue you are currently experiencing. The very best!

In the JRPG genre, the Mother series has always been the black sheep. The likes of Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy may well go out and steal the headlines, but since the days of the NES, the series of Mother games have attracted a loyal fanbase with their quirky take on how an RPG should be played. The original is highly regarded, and its successor, Earthbound, is the epitome of a cult classic, with the original SNES cartridges picking up anywhere near to £100. What fans wanted then, was the third instalment; and my word didn't they have to wait for it. Mother 3 was originally intended for the Super Famicom, and then was transferred to the doomed Nintendo 64DD. Eventually, it was released on the Game Boy Advance in 2006…in Japan only. With the possibility of a localisation looking remote, fans at Starmen.net decided to make a fan translation, taking over two years to complete. Finally, in October 2008, Western fans of the Mother franchise were able to get their hands on the game. The question is, after such a troubled birth (call it the Japanese 'Duke Nukem Forever'), is it any good?
Mother 3 is somewhat of a spiritual successor to Earthbound. The story takes place on the Nowhere Islands, a peaceful area where the community gets along by sharing with each other (kind of a perfect Communist life if you will). On these islands lives a family, where Flint and his wife Hinawa have raised two sons, Lucas and Claus, along with their dog Boney. One day however, a mysterious flying object is seen over the islands, setting fire to the forest. Flint tries to save his family, who have been away on vacation at the other end of the island, and in doing so manages to save Lucas and the dog, but Hinawa passes away, and Claus is deemed missing. From here on in you play the game through the perspective of several different characters, as you battle the Pigmask Army who have invaded the islands and subjected the people to their control.
Overall, the plot is pretty solid. It is split into eight different chapters, and this helps the pacing of the story to be more manageable. Of particular note is one of the latter chapters, where the story starts tripping balls on mushrooms. Literally. The characters are an interesting bunch as well, aside from the main characters that you play through the game as, there's a massive cast of individuals spread throughout the game that help or hinder your quest. Giving so many NPC's a sense of individuality really sells the plot for me, and as a result it's one of the better stories that I have played through in recent times. I will say that some of the boss fights are sprung upon you at random times, but overall they fit into the story so it is of no great concern. I was also a bit dissapointed with how vague the ending was, but it does leave the door open for Mother 4.
The one thing that has always separated the Mother games from the likes of Dragon Quest in Japan is the approach to gameplay; they are not games of swords and potions. Instead, they take a refreshingly modern take on how to make an RPG. So Mother 3 is set in a modern time, and the weapons that the characters use ranges from baseball bats and yo-yos to gloves and boots. They wear sweaters to repel ice enemies. They drink cola and eat noodles to regain health. It is all fantastically quirky. There also some other very important gameplay changes to traditional JRPG's. You do not get random encounters in Mother 3; all the enemies are present on the screen, and you can choose to run straight past them or engage them in three different ways: attacking them head on leads to a normal battle, but attack them from the rear and you get a pre-emptive strike, and if they hit you in the back then they get the first hit. The resultant fight is also deviation from the norm. You get four basic options, to attack, use items, deploy a character specific skill or run. However, if you choose the standard attack, you have the option to get a big combo by attacking in time with the background music, and you can get up to 16 hits in one attack. This is a excellent and rather unique gameplay dynamic, as enemies all have different tunes playing in the background when you fight them, meaning you have several sequences to tap out for bonus damage. Another important feature is the way that health and magicka is depleted; instead of losing numbers in chunks, Mother 3 operates a countdown meter that gradually decreases. This means that if a character receives mortal damage, they can be healed and saved before the counter reaches 0. It means that battles can be fought at breakneck speed, as counters fall during move selection meaning that you have to activate moves ASAP, and it leads to a much more engaging battle experience, especially since revives are virtually non existent in this game. Traditional magic is also absent from Mother 3; instead characters can learn PSI moves by levelling up. There are three types of PSI magic; offensive moves utilising fire, ice and thunder, defensive moves that can boost and lower stats, and healing moves that restore HP and cure negative statuses. You will soon come to rely on these characters as they are both the hard hitters and healers at the same time, meaning that some elements of tactics needs to be employed: do you sacrifice a turn of healing to get a bit hit in and potentially win? Overall it's a fantastic system for battling.
The process is aided further by the enemies you will be fighting. The quirkiness of the series is highly evident in the design of the enemies; the main guys that you will be fighting are the Pigmask's, but throughout the story they create all sorts of chimera's, leading to some crazy mashups. For example, a horses head attached to the body of a tarantula. An elephants face forming the body of an ostrich. Hippo's that can fire rockets. A petunia that has the buds replaced with pigs heads. Damaged drums and guitars. If this all sounds freakish and terrifying, do not worry: everything is depicted in a cartoonish matter so you shouldn't be getting any nightmares. Enemies give a fair amount of EXP as well, so grinding is not required in great amounts to progress through the game.
There a few final things to note on the gameplay front in Mother 3. Saving is encouraging readily throughout the game (you use frogs which are handily placed throughout the world to record progress and deal with DP, the in-game currency), and there are hot springs dotted around which fully heal your party. It does the make the game perhaps less of a challenge than the more hardcore Dragon Quest series. And if you are looking for something that will swallow up your life, then this is not the RPG for you; it took me roughly 22 hours to get through first time. However, it is a quality experience from start to finish.
Visually, Mother 3 is not pushing forward the boundaries of what it possible. I think the fact that it was intended for major consoles means that it has been redesigned endlessly, and in the end they settled on mostly repeating the style of Earthbound on the SNES. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I would say that Earthbound looked much crisper on the SNES than this does on the GBA. Still, Mother 3 will not make your eyes bleed, and is worth playing through just to witness the crazy enemy design in action and the psychedelic battle backgrounds.
As previously mentioned, music forms a large part of the battling combo system, so you would expect some care and attention in the sound department. Mother 3 indeed has a very large soundtrack with precisely 250 songs (much more than games like Final Fantasy 4). Many of the tracks can be passed off as slight variations of earlier tunes, but some of the standalone tracks are excellent, including F-F-Fire!, A Railway In Our Village, Big Shot's Theme and the Mr Batty Twist (NANANANANANANANA) . Again, I get the feeling that on a console it would have sounded better, but the GBA speakers just about do this game justice. I should also note that on the main menu there is a sound player that lets you listen to all the tracks in the game and build a playlist of your favourites to prevent searching everytime, much like that in the GBA versions of the Final Fantasy games. A very nice feature to include.
Mother 3 has certainly kept the tradition of the series it represents going with its release; it features all the traits which prevent it from becoming just another Final Fantasy clone, and it has led to Nintendo realising that it deserves more exposure; Lucas features as a playable character in Super Smash Brothers Brawl, and New Pork City is one of the stages which can be fought on. One would anticipate that this will be the last entry into the Mother franchise, and if it is then it will stand the test of time for offering gamers something different within the JRPG genre. Now if you will excuse me, where did I leave my Cup Of Pork Noodles…

Flatbed Truck Insurance
Flatbed truck insurance should take into account the added risks associated with such vehicles and the possible heavy loads they carry. Some policies are legally obligated while others are highly recommended, depending on the circumstances of the business seeking out the policy.
What You Need to Know About Flatbed Truck Insurance
Flatbed truck insurance has many facets to it and your policy should be designed with the type of vehicle in mind. With so many unique risks associated with a lorry of this type, as those who drive them can bear witness to, it makes sense that any policy should be cultivated in kind. Higher risks can mean higher costs when it comes to insurance, but under insurance is dangerous. On the other side, over insurance can also lead to huge costs for little or no better coverage, so it pays to be mindful when seeking out any insurance policy.
Essentially, what makes a flatbed truck so useful is the way in which it is used. Easy loading means time can be saved and large loads are simply maneuvered as a result. Such an open way of transporting goods and materials, however, does mean there are higher risks, especially to third parties and goods, and there is no guarantee that accidents will not occur, no matter how safe and experienced those working with them are
Notable Features of Flatbed Truck Insurance
Flatbed truck insurance follows many of the same rules as other trucks in the commercial sector. Most of the differences can be described by the increased risks involved rather than separate hazards faced in the day-to-day running of the business. Because of this, ensuring that likely outcomes are comprehensively covered is key.
Third Party
Any road vehicle in the UK needs third party only (TPO) insurance or risks a hefty fine, points on the licence and even being disqualified for a lengthy period of time. On top of this there is the significant jeopardy that should an accident occur in which you are found liable, costs associated with compensation and the legal process itself can destroy a business in a matter of weeks.
Goods in Transit
Many people think that if they have their vehicle insured that the contents of that vehicle will be covered too. Unless specifically alluded to in the policy, however, the chances are the goods and materials in your truck will not be included in the policy. Goods in transit insurance can be constructed to cover both the goods you are transporting on your flatbed truck, thereby protecting you from claims made by customers should the goods be damaged or stolen
Breakdown Cover
With so many thousands of miles travelled each year in flatbed trucks, it is little wonder that occasionally there will breakdown issues. Unlike the case with cars, flatbeds cannot easily be towed, especially if carrying a large load. Breakdown coverage that is specifically designed to deal with these incidents is therefore essential to ensure that vehicles are quickly dealt with.
Employers' Liability Insurance
Not only is it a legal requirement that you are insured to cover the risks of damage to property and others, businesses must also provide coverage for all employees. Employers' liability insurance covers personal injury of employees as well as any damage that might occur to their property that a business is found liable for. When dealing with large vehicles and the heavy materials that are associated with them, this is both a legal and practical policy to seek out if relevant.

Discover the interview of Pere Page in Vilafranca del Penedès, Spain.
How did you become designer ?
Even in my adolescence, I collected all sorts of printed material that I liked: beer mats, magazine adverts, flyers that caught my eye. I still have these albums. The world of images attracted me, and quickly stimulated my interest in photography.
After I qualified from higher education, I studied design in the Llotja School of Applied Arts in Barcelona. My first contact with the wine sector was when I went to work for an important Penedes wine producer. I worked for several years in the company's printing department and worked on their labels every day. One of my favourite memories is of the back labels, with detailed information on the way each wine was produced; the grape varieties, whether local or imported, the fermentation, the ageing in oak casks, or later in the bottles, the tasting notes and pairing suggestions, etc. In 1991, after some collaborative work with cultural organizations, I set up my own studio, and that was how Pagà Disseny started.
We offer a consultancy service in branding, design and packaging for food and drinks. 80% of our clients are in the wine sector, food sector and we also work with some service companies.
Our client profile basically consists of family businesses and small producers, with a few large companies.
In the first decade we worked with companies in many sectors, however, due to our location in the Penedès, where there is an important wine industry, we found ourselves specializing in this sector. This was a natural transition, which we weren't specifically looking for.
In the 90's, we carried out a lot of projects aimed at corporate identity and also did work for publishers,
However, from the year 2000, as the Internet and digital printing world exploded onto the market, this speciality became "democratized", in the worst sense, filling the streets with so-called "visual contamination": projects, posters and very low-quality adverts that flooded the media world.
Only the most aware companies understand that their communications project should be closely linked to a coherent branding that has been studied in depth. Clients' expectations are higher as regards the product itself, since this is their shelf image in the physical market.
How would you define your vision of design, your style ?
We try to work in different registers depending on the product or the target market. Each product as well as the company's own identity has different characteristics which need to be transmitted in different ways and in different styles.
An artist, or an illustrator can have a very particular style, whilst I believe that designers must be more flexible, working on the basis of the aims of each project, whether that is to obtain an increase in product sales or a closer connection with each different kind of consumer. It is not the same to approach a product design aimed at the new milennial generations to aiming at a higher range for the more conservative consumer.
However, we think of design as a useful tool for the development of culture. Like publicity, design is a reflection of the society in which we live.
For the future, what are your professional projects ?
Thinking of the new year, in addition to continuing to work with our current clients, some major projects in the pipeline include the design for a vodka from Byelorussia, a range of soft drinks from Thailand based on vinegar and a range of wines from Navarra for export to Germany.
What do you like the most in your job ?
One of the greatest challenges of a design is its similarity to a writer faced with a blank page. At the beginning it creates a degree of stress, but once the project begins to mature, generating ideas and finally focusing on the end solution which meets the client's and consumers' expectations, the satisfaction of a job well done brings with it a satisfaction that is well worth the effort involved.

Cultural definitions for non-equilibrium (1 of 2)
In economics, a state of the economy in which for every commodity or service (including labor), total supply and demand are exactly equal. Equilibrium is never actually attained; it is approximated by movements of the market.
notes for equilibrium
Keynesian economics departed from conventional economic theory in demonstrating that economic equilibrium and full employment need not occur together. Therefore, as a system tends toward equilibrium, it might not eliminate unemployment.
Cultural definitions for non-equilibrium (2 of 2)
A condition in which all influences acting cancel each other, so that a static or balanced situation results. In physics, equilibrium results from the cancellation of forces acting on an object. In chemistry, it occurs when chemical reactions are proceeding in such a way that the amount of each substance in a system remains the same. (See chemical equilibrium.)

When Jessica got back to her room, she tried to think of what she should do next. She was wide awake, for the first time in months. Jessica sat thoughtfully looking at the business card that the nurse had given to her. The card had only a phone number. There was no name, no company. Jessica debated between running away from the hospital now to make sure that there were no further bills, or staying there, since at the moment she had nothing better to be doing, and was already in so far over her head it could hardly get worse. She set the card on the side table. Television did not sound particularly entertaining, but since she had no books, she figured that would be the best thing for her to do.
For several minutes Jessica flipped through the channels. Once she had been through everything three times, she settled on a show about interior design. The 'experts' that they interviewed on the show were the overly artsy stereotypical Designers. The things that they were saying were pretty out there, even for a college educated designer. The designers were talking about a historical building that was remodeled in such a way to keep the historical charm. The final product showed nothing of the 1920's, when the building was made, but had a very modern minimalist theme with 1970's furniture and modern stainless steel appliances. Jessica started zoning out when the designers were talking about 'elevating' the space, and how having some barely noticeable little accents of history gave the feeling that the space had some history.
Jessica began wondering why, if they wanted a historic feel, they would tear out original solid oak cabinets and replace them with brand new, very expensive, designer plastic ones. When the owner of the space come on screen they kept talking about how much they loved the 1920's design aesthetic. Jessica wondered if they had seen their house yet. Soon it became clear that despite talk of wanting to live in a historic space preserved like a museum, the owners were thrilled with the new design of their minimalist home. They even tore out walls to create a modern open floor plan.
It occurred to Jessica the damage that could befall a medieval castle if the group on television got a hold of it. Rather than ending as a museum exhibit, the castle would have the stone covered over with an enamel resin and a 'pop' of color on an accent wall on each room. There would be some tacky reminder of a stereotypical castle outline echoed in a geometric shape on the new crown molding.
Through her mind Jessica ran images of old castles in picturesque locations around the world. Soon she realized that the only place she could remember many of them from was the classroom in her dream. Jessica had to wonder if any of them were real. She knew that experts say that anyone you see in your dreams you have seen before. While Jessica had a difficult time believing that, she pondered whether that would also apply to places in dreams.
She ran through the dream for a few minutes before determining unequivocally that she had never been in the classroom in her dream before, and therefore the images were likely made up as well. She turned her mind to the people of the strange town, and tried to run through the unending list of people she met at the hotel. It was not even a minute before she gave up. Her mind lingered though on Rodney. He seemed to be such a key figure in the dream, maybe he was based on someone more significant in her life. She turned to the glass separating her room from the hall outside. At that moment her doctor walked by.
Ah-ha! The doctor's name was Rodney as well! That must be it. But wait- the doctor looked nothing like Rodney from the dream. And Jessica had the dream about the diner before she even met Kenzie.
Jessica tried to figure out what she would do for the Medieval Period class project that would not give away the fact that she did not have any memory of the rest of the course. It was a very engrossing puzzle, since she did not know the parameters of the assignment.
After struggling with this conundrum for several minutes, Jessica laughed out loud. It was a dream. She did not need to do the project. There was no-one to be embarrassed in front of. The whole place and all of the people in it were figments of her own imagination. It was perfectly likely that she would never dream of them again.
Jessica drew her attention again to the television and began flipping through the channels. It was not until she heard the words "Identity Theft" that she remembered she should probably have already cancelled her credit cards. And while she was at it, should see if she still had a job.

Julia Buckley Fitness Launches Free Live Workouts on Facebook
Available at 8am every Saturday.
London, United Kingdom, March 20, 2017 --(
)-- Julia Buckley, renowned online fitness trainer and author of "The Fat Burn Revolution," has begun hosting live workouts on Facebook at 8am every Saturday.
"Sharing real-time training sessions with thousands of people around the world feels very special. Live streaming makes the experience feel very real both for me and the people joining in. It's a great way to connect and feed off each other's energy," says Julia.
Facebook Live is the perfect platform for Julia's feel-good workouts and holistic approach to fitness.
"It's early days after only three sessions, but from the responses I'm seeing I feel like this is the start of something really exciting," Julia says.
Every Saturday morning people are already flocking to Julia's Facebook page in their thousands to kick-start their weekend with a high-energy blend of cardio and strength training, which leaves them feeling energised, healthy, positive and strong.
The workouts usually require no equipment and little space. Even at 8am on a Saturday morning, Julia's signature motivational chat (which she somehow continues even during exercises that leave most people gasping for breath) keeps viewers exercising far more energetically than if they were exercising alone.
-Weekend Warriors-
Recent studies suggest working out only at weekends has similar health benefits to week-long training regimes.
Researchers from Loughborough University discovered that exercising twice, or even just once a week, greatly reduces health risks, including the risks of death from cardiovascular disease (CVD) or cancer-related illnesses.
"It's great news for people with busy lifestyles," comments Julia Buckley. "I'm really pleased to see proof that even one training session per week has such great effects – it's one of the reasons I'm now offering free live Saturday workouts.
"More and more people are affected by diseases of affluence. As a fitness professional, I see it as my obligation to promote physical activity. If you remove the barriers between people and exercise, they really get into it! After all, we are designed to move."
-Online Training-
Going to the gym is not always a viable option for busy professionals balancing work obligations and family life. In recent years, the fitness industry has embraced the internet as means of reaching customers in their homes.
Julia Buckley's workouts are available in her online gym at juliabuckleyfitness.com as well as on YouTube, and through live Facebook streaming.
"Members of my online gym have access to workouts which form structured training plans, but Saturday mornings on Facebook Live are simply my own conditioning sessions. They can be quite tough but at the same time I want them to have a relaxing feel. After all, it's the weekend," says Julia.
Viewers can leave comments under the video during the live streaming. Julia addresses those if the short rest breaks allow it. She also stays online after the workout to chat live and answer questions.
The sessions are met with an enthusiastic reaction, drawing comments including:
"That was a lot of fun! Really was like having you in my workout space."
"Brilliant start to the day."
"Thoroughly enjoyed this."
"Thank you so much for the brilliant advice and workouts (as always)."
"Fab workout (...) Set me up for the day!"
If you have any enquires, or would like to get an exclusive quote from Julia, feel free to drop her a line at firstname.lastname@example.com.

8 top tips every website owner should be following
Whether you have a blog, business card or e-commerce website, getting the basics right can make the difference… search engines will like your site, and you'll get a natural flow of traffic with minimal effort and cost.
Here are eight simple cost-free tips that will help you make sure your website is getting the basics right.
1. Setup an SSL/TLS certificate
Security is finally not just something for us techies to talk about. Website certificates are becoming a must-have. Without one, your site will be labelled "Not secure" in Chrome and other web browsers, and search engines will reduce your ranking, making it less likely you'll get noticed.
It doesn't have to cost you anything either! Sites such as LetsEncrypt.org, Sectigo (formly known as Comodo) and CloudFlare (if you're using their core (free) service) offer website certificates for free.
I recommend LetsEncrypt as they offer certificates that last 12 months, with no other services bundled. Use sslforfree.com for a guided walk through the LetsEncrypt signup process.
2. Check your code with validator.w3.org
Let's face facts, when creating your site, you probably used a template, code snippets from online, or even reused code you've used over the years on other sites.
In reality, many sites are a mix of different HTML/XML standards, or are missing elements, resulting in them being inconsistent or inaccessible in other browsers, screen readers, and search engine bots.
Validator.w3.org is an online tool that will crawl a page you point it at, and compare it to the standards. It will recommend changes as a result. I choose w3.org, as the site is run by the community behind the web standards, so they know what they're talking about!
This validator ALWAYS finds things I've forgotten to include in my coding. These tiny changes can make all the difference with search engines in particular (e.g. content type, language etc.), as they need extra detail to understand your site content. As search engines look to rate the quality of the site for search rankings, they see poor coding as a poor quality site, so it's well worth looking at such validators. I highly recommend it.
3. Use search engine webmaster tools
There's no point in creating your website if nobody is visiting it!
Several search engines have "webmaster tool" portals, which enable the owner of a site to see information about how the search engine sees their site, and to influence it.
At the time of writing, the biggest search engines in the world, in order of size are as below. These four search engines account for over 98.5% of web searches.
- Google
Google Search Console provides insight and tools to measure your sites performance in Google (impressions and clicks), view issues, and what pages are indexed.
- Baidu (Huge in China)
Never heard of Baidu? Baidu is often referred to as "the Google of China", handling around 70% of searches from China, Google handles around 2%.
Given the size of China, if your site maybe of interest to people in China, you should make sure your site is listed with Baidu.
Unfortunately it appears you can currently only signup for their Webmaster Tools if you have a Chinese mobile phone number.
- Bing
Bing Webmaster Tools provides more functionality than Google's Search Console, though isn't quite as nice to use in my opinion.
They provide the basics, but also tools for search engine optimisation around your code quality and mobile optimisation. You can even tell Bing the times of day to focus any crawling of your website to avoid busy times on your server. Personally, I just use it for the core metrics and error information.
- Yahoo!
Yahoo! uses Bing data, and therefore does not have a separate portal for webmasters.
With each of the search engines above, I recommend you search to make sure your site appears in their results. Also use the webmaster tools (exclude Baidu if you're unable to sign-up) to check for any "issues" they are having with your site. I have found issues before with duplicate content due to Google seeing multiple URL's on WordPress for the same content. You can also, in the case of Google, see pages that have been discovered by Google, but that it has decided not to index. Sadly it won't tell you the reason, though if they're important pages, it gives you something to investigate before it impacts your traffic too much.
4. Create and submit a sitemap
A sitemap is simply a list of all pages on your site that you'd like a search engine to be aware of. It also includes the frequency recommended for search engines to revisit the page, and a relative priority of each page within your site (relative to each other).
If you have a templated website (e.g. WordPress, Joomla etc..) there are plugins out there that will automatically maintain an sitemap for you (I recommend Google XML Sitemaps for WordPress).
If your site is custom coded, or plugins don't give what you need, I would strongly recommend writing a script to create the sitemap for you, so you don't have to maintain it manually with every page addition.
Once created, log into search engine webmaster tools as above and submit the sitemap URL's. This will make sure the search engine is aware of the pages. Note it does not guarantee that they will be indexed.
5. Try your site in different browsers and devices
How do you check changes to your website? You probably use your own device(s) to check on a "common setup". Whilst this is logical, each setup (browser in particular) can interpret sites slightly differently, and may have a significant impact on your visitors.
For example, when I recently installed a new SSL certificate on one of my sites, it looked fine in my normal browser, but when I opened it in Firefox as a test… it threw an "insecure" error. Firefox was not happy with the new certificate.
You can't check the everything, but I recommend you:
- Install at least one extra top-3 browser on your PC for testing
The latest desktop browser split at the time of writing is below. I remember having a couple of the top three browsers on your development machine, for quick testing in two common browsers.
Chrome 64.63%
Internet Explorer 10.49%
Firefox 9.83%
Edge 4.30%
Safari 3.79%
Opera 1.58%
Source: NetMarketShare.com January 2019 Browser Market Share Report (Desktop/Laptop)
- Check your site on your phone
Over 52% of website traffic is from mobile phones now. So if you're only testing on the PC you developed your site on, you're not actually testing the most likely configuration used to access your site. Pick up your phone and check your site looks good, and works well on a phone.
- Use Browser Compatibility test sites
There are some sites out there that can help. http://browsershots.org for example, will open a URL in a ton of different operating system and browser combinations. The thumbnails it creates makes it easy to see any major differences, and allow you to click through for a more detailed view. Personally I just use this on significant pages, and ignore any issues from obscure or outdated browsers as this site tests some stupidly old browsers, along with modern ones!
- Ask friends, family, and community members to help out
Asking others to quickly take a look will probably get you a whole host of feedback beyond the basics. This way you'll naturally get a mix of browsers and operating systems tested (even better if you ask them to try their phone, tablet and PC/laptop), and should get some useful feedback about any site content and usability too.
Don't just use friends and family though, if you're active on any forums you may be able to ask for some willing volunteers there. Check the forum rules though as you don't want to be seen to be spamming the forum.
6. Get a Nibbler website report
There are simply loads of "good bots" out there, that you can point at your website to review the content etc… I'd to recommend http://nibbler.silktide.com though for a general website review, that leans towards Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). This is different to step 2, where we looked purely at code standards. Nibbler looks at social media setup, activity, inbound links, "freshness" of content, as well as good practices like compression, and more.
It's free, so give it a go and see how your site scores, and more importantly, where you could do better.
7. Get a domain healthcheck
There are a range of skills needed in running a website, and there are few people who can honestly say they've mastered them all.
When it comes to the core connectivity of DNS, I trust mxtoolbox. They provided a lot of free tools to checking things out. A great place to for site owners is their Domain Health Check and their DNS Check. These check everything from core nameserver setup (DNS Check), to the setup of relevant SPF and DMARC records on your domain for email spam protection purposes (Domain Health Check).
8. Backup!
It's the job we love putting off, but it really is essential. If you haven't backed up since the last few edits to your site, you're running a risk you probably don't want to be.
Don't forget to backup databases as well as files.
This is just a short list of priorities items. Are there any items you feel I should have added though? If so, let me know in the comments.
All the best with your websites.

I am at the Shock Phase a little Protest…. Bueller has been gone since Tuesday, so it has not been two days. Ouch…
I am at the Shock Phase a little Protest…. Bueller has been gone since Tuesday, so it has not been two days. Ouch…
My little science project data collection….. Bueller (English Bulldog) is only a month away from turning 13. His dementia started at age 10 with night only episodes several months apart, age 11 night only episodes every three months and age 12 (Pee nights started) almost every night and some confusion during the day .
Can he make it to 13 (March 21)? mmmmm can we make it…
Well yesterday Bueller was not his perky self at all but he was a cuddle. He was very unstable on his feet. If I didn't know better I would say he was having a bout of MS… He tipped over and couldn't get up I had to help him. But then after that he was fine the rest of the day. Very unsettling…
Last night he slept until 1pm – woke up to an episode and wet bed. So I cleaned him up, pilled him, and hung out in the TV room and played Butter Bone for a bit, then we did a little "Where the Hell Am I", and then oo I am sleepy and up on the couch we both went and was asleep by 3am… The Dude got the night off…..
This AM Bueller was about the same as yesterday really… no wag… bummer…

Can he make it to 13 (March 21)? mmmmm can we make it…
Well last night was a two wake episode. Bueller got up with me at 11, went pee and happily went back up on the couch where we snuggled for an hour. Then 2pm The Dude got up with Bueller who had wet the bed. The Dude cleaned him up, changed the sheets and hung with him until he went back to sleep about an half hour.
Bueller wasn't restless or anything, very accommodating actually but I could tell he was not totally ok but I was hoping it was just sleepiness. He got up at 5am this morning and was totally depressed. No wag, nothing, just went through the motions of our routine like a zombie dog – no night meds either so weird (outside to pee, inside to eat, meds, butter bone, tummy pill). Kind of a buzz kill but I departmentalize the emotions and think of this as a science study. I tell myself "It's just a symptom to log to find trends to help others with their dementia dog nothing to worry about "… for some reason it helps… Until my heart starts to sink anyway.
He was pretty confused this AM which isn't really normal for his episodes as this behavior usually is seen at night… He is fast asleep back on his Mat now after two attempts to sit with him while he got settled. He is breathing a little heavier than normal too but not an anxious thing, almost like he is in pain but can't put my finger on it… Need to call Vet about Antibiotics as to when to restart them.. Wonder if his infection is coming back?
Well that's it for today. Hope this helps for anyone living with their dementia dog.

Can he make it to 13? mmmmm can we make it…
OK I am seeing a trend here in Bueller Dementia progression. We will start with Pee night… After he pees himself from not waking at night, the following day he will be very lethargic and slightly confused as to what the routine is but ok mood wise….Followed by a couple of nights of limited wake bouts, moving towards manics where the Xanax barely does anything anymore.
Valentine's day was crash night. After 4 days of ZERO sleep between The Dude and Myself, Bueller woke up at 9:30pm (he usually crashes on the couch after dinner mind you, about 6pm), went out to pee, and was on a grumpy manic for about an hour. I crashed, The Dude just hung with him and read until 10:30pm and Bueller went up on the couch and crashed himself… He hasn't woken yet this AM so I am guessing he will be wet but I don't want to bug him as he looks so peaceful…
I have also noticed a change in sleeping positions. He use to rhino on his side but now he is sleeping on his tummy when Pee nights happen. mmm
So it seems to be about a 7 to 9 day cycle. Starting with Pee night where he sleeps through the night sort of (with only one or two wake ups), Lethargic during the days, then I am guessing tomorrow he will be good during the day and then the night wakes will start up again…
This is so hard but my god I have been reading some blogs where people have had it much harder than what The Dude and I are dealing with right now so now I am feeling guilting for thinking about sending Bueller to college. Argggggggg The Dude is not ready, I am though but happily willing to continue forward as the forever gone haunts me to the point that I want to puke.
It is so hard when your pooches body is fine (sort of in Bueller's case – lots of manageable arthritis) but the mind is dazed and confused….
Well, last night was 1 1/2 Xanax for the pooch, he was up about 3 times, Xanax on waking the second time (midnight). No pain meds though. The first wake 10pm, (the Dude's shift) he went potty, drank water and clingy like went back to sleep as long as you were with him. Second time (Midnight wake My shift) he didn't know what he wanted AT ALL. Up and down on and off the couch. Wouldn't go outside so figured he didn't need to pee. Third time the Dude took that shift he easily went back to sleep again as long as you were with him.
The Dude and I got to sleep in to 6:30am. Bueller woke and was really kind of lost for the first hour of wake, then he seemed ok after meds kicked in (Allergy, pain, anti-inflamatories)
His night episodes are not nearly as bad as they were before we discovered the mouth infection. HUGE improvement from prior to his antibiotic hits…
He is just hard to please. But Cute none the less. Going to live in denial a little longer!
Well it appears Dr. Dammeyer's Meds are working to help with the night terrors (that is what I am calling it today anyway – It's medically Canine Cognitive Behavior Disorder mind you) we have been experiencing — we being us Humans and Pooch.
So instead of just giving Bueller his Xanax when he is freaked out at night, we give it to him when he wakes for his 11pm PEE outing along with a pain med.
IT IS helping A TON…. He was up twice last night but nothing major….
Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! The Gods are Good today!
Well not much to say, rufff night, no pun intended….
Good side, the AM he was great, gave me a high five as if nothing was ever wrong!!!
GARDEN CLUB today, oo it would be a hoot to take Bueller…. but I won't don't worry.
That's it for today.
Well I think I have gotten dark and depressing enough. If you are reading my blog you get the point of the difficulties of living with a dog with dementia. Now it's time for hear about the wonders of an English bulldog.
First off the puppy phase: OMG this pooch drew so much attention anywhere we went. He was so tiny and cute at the same time and quite the ferocious chewer but luckily for him I was a ferocious dog toy purchaser. He has had every toy imaginable and then some.
The Dude and I were so excited we finally had a dog to walk Greenlake with. No more dog lusting… Bueller had other activities in mind, he said "nope I would rather stick to one mile walks not three thank you very much"… So he was a favorite in Edmonds. I kind of over stepped our welcome though as I took him into every store. Then one day we started noticing signs saying "no dogs in store, please". Yep you can attribute that to Bueller. hehehe
He loved to play run and jump with me, He would get ahold of my sweatshirts and I would pull him down the hall. We did this so much that all of my sweatshirts to date the arms are full of holes, kind of ruined but it was fun who cares.
Gardening with Bueller was equally fun, when ever I turned the soil it was his job to steal my tools and hide them. He was fast and sneaky at it as well. I would be really getting into it and then I would reach for my weeder and it would be gone. Fortunately he wasn't very good at digging as his hiding involved burying it somewhere.
Fresh soil was also one of his favorite things. If I had laid it down or created it from churning, his little snout would be right in it. He would pull his face out of the dirt pile and it would be completely black. Then he would come up to me and sneeze it all over me. Now who can't love a bulldog's sneeze….
OOO and the Skateboard was his favorite outside toy. It was funny there was this famous Bulldog in LA that rode a skateboard. He was so good at it just pushing it along. So I thought how fun would it be to teach Bueller that…Well Bueller LOVED it but not as something to ride but as something to destroy. So The Dude would throw it across the lawn and Bueller would run after it as if it was a frizebee. That got us plenty of hours of entertainment in 10 minutes spurts – as we all know English Bulldogs are not known for their endurance.
His favorite indoor toy is his Bear… now after 12 plus years he has gone through several versions of them but I go to the Good Will or my friends do and get him a life size Bear that he loves to hump. Yep I am saying it, he was a humper of the bear. Now a days his back isn't so happy so he not just bites and falls asleep on it. mmm wonder if that is what it will be like when The Dude and I get old, I will be the bear. hehehehe OOO did I just write that…
And you can't have a bulldog and not write about their Bully Chews. Yep these sticks are made from a Bull's Penis. How gross is that. They smell really bad too but HE LOVES them… Now a days he gums them to death and I embellish his chew with a little butter for him. No he isn't spoiled or anything. His second favorite chew is the new Himalayan dog chew made of YAK Milk. Man I wish they had been making these when Bueller was a pup… Much better than Raw Hides… Which did nothing but give Bueller the WORST farts.
His Mats: OMG he has so many mats, I kind of went WAY overboard on that. He has one in every room basically. The Costco Dog mat has always been a good one, he destroyed a few as a pup tearing them apart but as he got older they were reliable sleeping places. I read that Donut beds were good for Bulldogs because of their big heads so I bought two – one for the bed room and one for the TV room. OMG he absolutely HATES the one in the TV room. They are exactly the same too. It is so funny to watch him on it. He sees it and jumps into it and then just starts throwing a temper tantrum, digging, spinning, digging, then ultimately jumping off and coming to the couch. So need less to say he has a bed he has never really used.
His other favorite place that isn't really anymore was his heat blanket. I would say from age 8-10 he loved the heat blanket. I would turn it on and he was like a cat, he went straight for it and would sleep on it for hours. Now he isn't too excited about it but he still wants it out. God for bid you move any of his stuff.
O the Vacuum… My god how can I not talk about him and the Vacuum… He has destroyed it. I was a bad Mom and when I vacuumed I would let him Attack it, so the hose is full of tape plugging holes, the base doesn't rotate anymore he broke that. Yep I admit it, I encouraged it. It made vacuuming fun instead of a chore. So there. Who cares.
He is my joy! Last night from 1-3 he was in a full blown play mode – The Dude and I played with him, pilled him, two hours later he finally settled in and we all got a good night's sleep.
Well last night was good. He woke at 10:30pm. The Dude took him out to pee, then he came in drank water, and was very fussy. So we gave him a pain pill as the VET said it was ok to increase his dose. This was suggested by my sister a while ago but was afraid to over medicate my Bueller. But now I am desperate. So we gave him half a doze, then I sat with him on his mat and 30 minutes later he was fast asleep and he slept through the night, in fact it's a little unnerving as he is still sleeping and it is 8:30am…
I am leaving for a play day today at 9:30am I so hope he wakes before I go. I have tried a couple of times to disturb him to no avail. He is ok he just doesn't want to get up. The Dude will be hang'n with him so it's all good.
To be honest he did this once last week as well so I seriously doubt it was the half doze of pain meds that is making him sleep like this. I suspect he just doesn't want to get up because he doesn't feel good.
The Dude talked to the VET Tech yesterday about the process of sending Bueller to college. The best day to do it would be a Tuesday late so that Bueller's remains can be picked up Wednesday morning for Cremation. We can be with him the whole time, thank God. The cost is going to be $140 for the trip to College and another $150 for the Cremation and we will be able to pick up his ashes the following Wednesday. We plan on having a Grafton Urn made for him. He is one of my favorite Ceramic artists of late. Graftonpottery
So our plan is either this Tuesday or Next… I am feeling better about our decision. My DUDE is so strong….He made the call to the VET I just couldn't do it without loosing it.
Well that's it for today…. Thanks for reading!!! I so hope anyone else who is suffering with their pooch that this helps them.

Susan's practice is rooted in mindful body awareness as the foundation of all movement. She intends that when we offer our bodies something, we allow space to hear something back
We explore shapes, patterns, and pathways inspired by yoga, the Axis Syllabus, developmental and expressive movement, and the motion of everyday life. Healthy breathing techniques support our practice and intervals of rest allow time for integration. In movement and stillness, we cultivate a friendly, nonjudgmental, and kindly curious attitude towards ourselves and our surroundings.
Getting more of ourselves in contact with the ground enhances our whole body sense, our ability to orient ourselves in space. Curious, exploratory, interesting, slow, gentle, mindful, and non-painful movements have tremendous capacity to help us develop nuanced whole body communication. This translates to more ease, steadiness, and pleasure in the movements of daily life.
"I practice with the best instructor ever. Susan's style and manner are effective for nurturing well-being and relaxation and building skills in our movement practice. She creates a safe space for new challenges in strength building, flexibility and restorative postures. She understands our limits and she assists with modifications when necessary. I always come away knowing that our time together has helped to make me a healthier and happier woman."
~Karen Anne B.
"I'm 67 and taking up a new sport as challenging as diving was very daunting. When I submerged during my very first dive, panic took hold and my first instinct was to just bolt back up to the surface...My heart was about to explode, beating in a frenzy of anxiety. So, I closed my eyes, pictured your face, Susan, and chanted the mantra to myself, " I know I'm breathing in, I know I'm breathing out ...". After several moments I calmed down, and was able to complete the underwater lessons. I used the strategy for the first few minutes of each dive after that, using yoga to make the transition from land to being 100 feet underwater. I was so excited and proud of myself for accomplishing a week of diving. Now I look forward to my second diving holiday with pleasure and am so thankful that yoga saved the day!"

Creative Control
The aquatics department offers plenty of opportunities to create eye-catching merchandising displays both in the dry goods and livestock sections.
Pet specialty stores may not be focused in on aesthetics the way a home design store or high-end clothing boutique might be, but even the average mom and pop pet shop can benefit from employing at least a modicum of creative merchandising. In fact, in today's market, you need to use every tool in the box, every trick in the trade to stay ahead of the competition. Just lining the shelves with products is not going to do the job.
The value of creating merchandising can play out in even the most seemingly mundane product categories. Does a power filter sitting inside a box draw attention? Of course not; so, if you have a filter you prefer—no matter the reasons (e.g., it works better, your margin is higher, it's always easy to get replacement stock, etc.)—it should be featured in a working display. Customers must be able to see it, so no hiding it away behind or under a tank.
Let's say you have two different types of filters you want to showcase. You can simply put them on the same tank. On the other hand, if you have two filters of the same type, but they are made by different companies, it's a no-no to display them together—unless, of course, you are trying to show that one works better than the other. That inferior product had better not be one you carry, however. Maybe it could be one of the proprietary filters carried by chain or big-box stores.
Working displays always grab more attention than static ones. Of course, it's difficult to find room for a large number of such exhibits, so you should cycle them in and out with regularity. Customers who come into your store frequently will appreciate seeing endcaps featuring new products or old ones that are on sale. There is no maximum time for the longevity of a display, but I recommend nothing longer than six weeks, with four weeks being optimum.
No matter how great a display of merchandise may look, however, it can't match the originality of a tank full of live fish decorated to the max. If you are trying to sell fish, using live plants, decor or ornaments is the way to go. Each tank housing fish for sale should look like a work of art. And that's before and after fish are caught; there is no excuse for uprooted plants and decor turned upside down. At the end of each sales day, allow 30 minutes for tank maintenance. Only sales associates with talent should be allowed to set up or refurbish display aquariums.
Of course, not everyone has a gift for designing displays that are both appealing to customers and appropriate for the livestock. Let's look at a few examples of what works and what does not. For example, stingrays, whether they are fresh or saltwater, should only be placed in aquariums with fine sand. In the wild, this is their habitat, and they will not exhibit normal behavior over any other substrate. Some stores get around this by placing them in bare tanks, but I can assure you there is no quicker way to kill them, as it leaves them completely vulnerable to attacks from aggressive open-water swimmers. It is your responsibility to respect the needs of each type of fish you keep.
Retailers should also never sell fish they know nothing about. Customers are always going to ask about the requirements of any fish they are unfamiliar with. Store staff must know the answers and display fish in a manner appropriate to their lifestyles.
There are several ways to go here, but they all involve livestock, because living things are always the most memorable. I suggest the following:
• a coral tank that contains only species that glow under blue (or black) lights;
• a giant marine tank with show specimens of fish, including small sharks, such as cat or bamboo species;
• an Amazon River display of small non-aggressive species and plenty of live aquatic plants;
• a brackish-water environment with mudskippers, Anableps, Monodactylus, archerfish and other non-aggressive species;
• an aquatic garden display (few fish and lots of exotic plants);
• a giant pond full of fancy koi with a waterfall feature;
• African Rift Lake displays—one for Malawi and one for Tanganyika.
There are two ways to have customers remember your business. You can be really lousy or you can be really good. I suggest the second option works better if you want to make money and stay in business.
Also, and this might be difficult for a lot of owners, you need to be out on the floor as much as possible. Everyone likes to talk with the owner. It makes them feel important, and indeed, they are.
Edward C. Taylor has been in the pet industry for over 30 years as a retailer, live fish importer and wholesaler, and fish-hatchery manager.

Stoves, ovens, hot surfaces and pans: who hasn't burnt themselves while cooking dinner?
The skin burns when it comes into contact with excessive heat or corrosive substances such as acids. The skin loses its hydration and becomes red.
This happens both if we burn ourselves with the iron and under the excessively hot August sun.

A blog to recommend movies, hikes, books, TV shows, internet sites, or other things that may catch my interest.
I like that: The Third Best Submarine movie. :) It must be good if so many movies are based off it.ReplyDelete
Thanks. I can see how that comment would be out of context all on its own. In my recent reviews of Das Boot and The Hunt for Red October I referred to them as the best and second best submarine movies, respectively.
Run Silent, Run Deep is definitely worth the watch if you like either Gable or Lancaster.
That's a great observation: The Captain and the XO in conflict is parallel to Crimson Tide, and I like your comparison of Richardson with Captain Ahab. btw; It is out on Blu Ray now. I wrote a short post on Run Silent Run Deep called "Treating a Person with Honor." Here is the link if you would like to read it: https://christopherjohnlindsay.wordpress.com/2015/10/04/run-silent-run-deep/ReplyDelete
I'm doing a blog on this movie and have been casting about for others' opinions and found my way here. Great review/ blog in general. I see the last entry refers to some surgery issues and was from over a year ago and just wanted to say hope all went well, there, and I hope you pick it all back up.
In the meantime, looks like I have plenty of reading to keep me busy.
Cheers, thanks for this.
