With numerous Pokemon games created since the first version was released 10 years ago as well as the number of Pokemon characters increasing through the years — from 151 to 486 — the franchise will likely remain for several generations into the future. Some of the Pokemon cannot even be captured because these should be traded with a friend, if and when you want to capture all of them. We are offering you the largest library of game boy advance roms. While the fun in playing Pokemon has generally faded where I am concerned, no thanks to the fact that Nintendo has repeatedly milked it resulting in the succeeding games being boring, the original two games still have their appeal. Crystal also had more replay value because of the addition of the choice of gender for its main character, the battle tower, and the Suicune central storyline — indeed, the already packed installment became better! And it is imperative that Link cable emulation function for trading in Cable Club works as it is no fun playing alone. Cool roms gba will bring you lots of entertainment and memories of the past games.
Grab your best friends, few joysticks and prepare for your adventure in the past with our cool roms games! This list of all Pokemon Pokedex also includes the Pokemon Legendaries. There are many programs of this kind and they are available for various platforms. Since Charmander is a fire Pokemon, it can easily destroy Bulbasaur, a grass Pokemon but Charmander, in turn, can be beaten by Squirtle, a water Pokemon. Creating Windows applications is not merely an easy task. For most of your mission, you will be wandering around the overworld while also battling with trainers and capturing their Pokemon characters.
On the other hand, emulators are not exclusively for computers. The difficulty level of the game is increased from its previous version which is pokemon white version. We speak about backward compatibility, It consists in playing games from old consoles in their new version, and this is only possible in the case of the company which created the video console desing his new console with the possibility to run the games of his last console. An Atari rom has less than 1 Mb and often less than 100kb depending on the title - however a Nintendo 64 game has at least 7 Mb. It will depend on what you want to play.
The developer did a good job with their first ever Pokemon sequel. New versions of some hits appear and now on the newest game consoles. Light Platinum Version containing all the new and latest pokemons from almost all the Generation which is the amazing feature of the game. We will provide you with the latest versions of emulators and the most popular roms download. It still has the same great graphics and a super improved storyline. For sure you can spend more time petting your Pikachu and you can get to choose from a bigger variety of starters, but Pokemon X still lands in the same comfort zone Pokemon followers have found themselves in for years and for a total of 6 generations and that is not a bad thing! But even its addition was a double-edge sword in that the game became easier to play and, in the process, less challenging. It is worth to mention that the more recent the game, the bigger its size due to its graphic complexity.
Now they are going to revive the famous Battle Toads series. So, for those of you who are looking to download roms gba gameboy advance, providing you find the right rom location, you can basically turn your mobile device into your very own gameboy advance. You may also try Professor Juniper is one of the amazing human beings that can help you seriously in the game. The game screen changes as soon as the battle starts. Many Pokemon will not even be recognizable when viewed from the back. The games were also engaging, challenging in a way, and fun to play. Pokemon X Review - Despite the innovations and evolutions, in its core Pokemon X still plays like one of the usual Pokemon games.
Now, this is not the full and final list and can be altered in the near future as some new pokemons are constantly adding in the Pokedex of light platinum version. Aside from these new elements, the second generation Pokemon also had the longest main game section, thanks to the original Gyms addition. Back in 1996 there were rumors of a 32-bit handheld gaming device, which at the time was unheard of. It is an easy way to play old games, because we only need a basic computer and an internet connexion to download the emulator and games. This can be done by purchasing old used consoles, accessories to them, games. Who would not be, anyway? There were very different types of these games: fps first person shooter , adventures, sports, but download pokemon red version for emulator the best seller was Pokémon saga. As you will see, the more popular is the video game you want to download, the easier is to find it for free.
So, as we have seen an emulator is a program that imitates or simulates the operation of another system, be it another older computer, video game console, a laptop, or mobile phones, in fact, a multitude of devices. There are about 300 new characters and creatures added in the pokemon white 2 hack. Each one is more powerful against at least one other type but every single one will also be weaker against one or more of the other types. Your enemies are strong this time. For example, Blaziken, Torchic, and Feebas were just too weak in comparison with the originals while many design choices, such as the removal of the time cycle with more focus on the weather element, were just too odd for my taste.
You have to defend your characters. I guarantee you will never be bored in front of your computer. If gaming is leisure, and pleasure conjoined into one, then playing video games is definitely fun for everyone. And yes - that Youtube video you saw was doctored to look real. You can also train your pokemon friends while playing the battle with other teams. Even some new Events are also included like including of tournaments and Gyms makes the game more interesting.
We mean, the essence of playing with the original console, using their slots to introduce the game and control it with the original controllers, is not the same sensation as playing in a computer with the keyboard, but sometimes, you can download additional software with the emulator to use usb controllers in the computer. Otherwise, you will not be able to catch nocturnal Pokemon that come out only at night. It also had a great mini-game with a surfing Pikachu. You only need to write these words in the menu searcher to find the software and make and scan or something like that. Please check our list of Emulators that you can download here. Some of the Pokemons characters are quite new in this land.
After that, you only have to run your gameboy emulator and choose the game. Their storylines were more player-friendly i. There are some Combee hives on the trees which can be found easily and however a random battle with a Combee will automatically start whenever you want to play any battle. The device featured a rechargeable battery which was in-built, and a very attractive design in the process. As a result, the best Gameboy emulator may not be the best for playing Pokemon games as it may lack features needed for these specific titles. There are a lot of adverts showed as download click button, which do not show you the original download, and they open a sponsored website. The most popular games such as: Super Mario, Pokemon, Contra, Zelda, Crash Bandicoot, Tekken 3, God of War, Grand Theft Auto, Monster Hunter and respective emulators for , , , , , , can be easily downloaded on our website.

One night I saw a dream regarding a Pastor friend of mine and his wife. In addition to their secular jobs, they have been laboring in the Lord's vineyard for quite a few years now. They are trustworthy and despite setbacks in their ministry, have not given up, but have pressed on.
In the dream, they are shown to be setting out for ministry on a particular day. As I watch, they open their cupboards and in it are totally white and sparkling robes kept neatly on the shelves. They take one robe each from the shelves and wear it. When they wear it, they become radiant. When I see that they become radiant, I try to take one of the robes but they tell me that these have been given to them by the Lord and that I should wear what the Lord gives me. Then they set out to minister for the Lord. The dream ended there.
As I meditated on this dream, the Lord reminded me of a few verses from the Word of God.
Yes, God Almighty clothes his children with righteousness. The fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints and it's a fact that they who do not soil their garments while living in this world, will walk with Jesus in white for they are worthy. Praise God.
Recently, one night I saw a dream wherein the enemy was setting up camp in a city. There were no specifics revealed as to who they were or which place it was, but the dream continued for a long time. I saw how they dug trenches, built fortifications and set up their weaponry. Most of it was an aerial view so I could see clearly that it was an elaborate process and their plan was to kill and to destroy.
Sometimes the Holy Spirit may not give us any specifics of where and who, but only wants us to pray that the plans of the enemy may crash and be shattered.
God is seeking believers and ministers who will pray and intercede according to his desires. Will you volunteer to be one of them? If you are already an intercessor, stay true to your Savior.
A minister and his family joined the church that I used to minister in. He and his wife were at crossroads in their ministry having given up a house church because of local opposition. They had quite a few believers in their house church who were directed to join other churches. Their passion for Christ had been blunted by the recent happenings in their life. A few days after they joined the church that I ministered in, one night I had a dream about them...The minister and his wife were standing by a river dismayed and confused, not knowing what to do. After a while they decide to swim in the river and soon their countenance changed; they were refreshed and rejuvenated and had joyous faces as they came out of the waters.
God, here was showing, how joining the new worship and being filled with the Holy Spirit, would refresh and rejuvenate their lives, which at present was dull and dreary.
They went on from strength to strength as they attended this new worship and in God's good time he went on to minister to the congregation and even become the local Pastor.

Twenty-five thousand people die of malnutrition each day. This reality is unconscionable. It is inexcusable. In a new campaign, American Jewish World Service (AJWS) is Fighting Hunger from the Ground Up by promoting sustainable solutions to global hunger that are grounded in human rights.
During the July 2009 G8 meeting in Italy, donors pledged to raise $20 billion over the next three years for food and agricultural aid to the world's most impoverished countries. Since then, the U.S. Department of State has been developing a food security initiative that demonstrates a new emphasis on ending hunger. Now is a critical time to ensure that the U.S. food security strategy includes solutions based on human rights. Solutions must be grounded in the idea of local food sovereignty—the ability of developing countries to sustainably produce and control access to their own food.
Our world's so-called "food crisis" is not a crisis of food shortage; rather, it stems from political and economic forces that prevent food from reaching everyone — what we call a food insecurity crisis. By treating food as a human right and not just another commodity, AJWS is addressing the underlying causes of hunger and creating long-term sustainable solutions to food insecurity. What we need now is a global commitment from our nation's leaders.
In preparation for the upcoming World Summit on Food Security on November 16-18 in Rome, ask U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to take the U.S. food security initiative one step further by recognizing food as a human right. Join us in calling on Secretary Clinton to demonstrate bold leadership in promoting this principle during the upcoming World Summit on Food Security. Take action today by visiting this site: http://tiny.cc/kfd8y.
Fighting Hunger from the Ground Up is a campaign of American Jewish World Service (AJWS) to mobilize the Jewish community to help end global hunger. Learn more at http://www.ajws.org/hunger/.
What should I expect from my CSA?
signing up for the next season. Those of us less pleased are either dropping out or giving the CSA “another chance”. This has led me to think about what each of us is expecting of a CSA. If one comes into this experience expecting a delivery of the “right” quantity of vegetables in perfect size, shape, and flavor that are most enjoyed by your family, you may be disappointed. If one comes into this experience learning to accept what the land produces, one might be amazed by what the earth (and our farmer) have to offer.
As our summer CSA season drew to a close, I reflected on the responses to the produce received by our members. I’m not sure everyone fully appreciates the meaning of a CSA. To me, it means the shared responsibility for bringing fresh food to our table. In conjunction with my CSA membership (and inspired by Danny Bachman), my husband and I started a vegetable garden. Like the experiences of both Danny and Pam Stegall, our CSA farmer, not all has gone according to plan. Some of our produce came out unlike what we expected, some better than expected, and a few crops were even a total loss. The results in my own vegetable garden were probably a mini-experience of what Pam feels throughout her growing season. The difference is that her commitment is to many more people than my own.
True, CSA produce is not perfect. The pesticides and fungicides used on conventional produce do not protect organic produce. Sometimes this means being very careful to wash away animal pests or cut away a damaged portion of a vegetable. Like us, animal pests (and even bacteria and fungus) find our veggies tasty! We need to be a bit gentler and forgiving of what the earth produces.
One particular Hazon CSA in Tenafly NJ, has been hit particularly hard this year. When Steve Golden (Tenafly’s site coordinator) visited the farm, he saw first hand the inexplicable fact that the beets did not grow, despite being planted in the best soil of that particular field. Indeed, the other rootcrops – turnips, carrots and radishes – did not really produce. So too the arugula, as well as the broccoli – which looks like it had some leaf disease which limited its growth. Not to mention the horrible late blight that killed all of our tomatoes and those in neighboring Rockland County and throughout the Northeast.
Reading afterward about the support provided to the devastated farming family in this situation was heartwarming. My point is simply that CSA members are literally sharing the successes and failures of farm life. So, dear members, thank you for thinking hard before you commit yourselves to this practice and immersing yourselves in it completely once you have.

Through the years Norm Nelson concentrated on quality and did not compromise in any way that would affect this main objective. The second generation, Jerry, Jim and Norm Jr. carry on that same philosophy and focused on getting top quality product to the markets.
All seed is conventionally grown without genetic alteration. The majority of seed comes from within 50 miles of our farm, allowing regular monitoring of the seed crop through the growing season. We keep a watchful eye on the contents of every carton and bag that leaves the warehouse, resulting in the “Double N” label being the standard for red, white and yellow potatoes over the years!
The Nelson farming and packing operations do not take any short cuts that may affect the main objective — a premium quality fresh potato delivered to the market place. By packing and shipping only potatoes grown at the Nelson farm and with constant emphasis on quality, consistency is a natural by product. The objective is to ship the best possible pack regardless of market influences so buyers know once you start with the “Double N” label, you will be satisfied every time you open a carton. Service is another component of the “Double N” reputation. Over the years Nelsons have updated mode of transportation, packaging and varieties to keep the customer satisfied.
Originally the product was shipped in 100-pound burlap sacks. Now much of the packaging consists of attractively designed, 50 pound corrugated cartons. This provides eye appeal and greater protection and ease of handling during shipping. Over the years Nelsons have also added many different “consumer packages” to accommodate the ever changing demand for convenience by the consumer.
The transportation of potatoes has changed from primarily refrigerated rail cars loaded directly from the plant to trucks with refrigerated trailers loaded from the warehouse dock. The distribution of Double-N potatoes originates from the sales team of Myron Ayers and Scott Wharton. They maintain a network of well-established, reputable customers and carrier contacts to meet their needs for marketing superior quality potatoes. Norm Nelson Inc.’s team is constantly looking for better ways to service its customers and maintain the status of the Double-N label.

In the last few years, Khloe Kardashian has undergone a dramatic body transformation. Anyone who follows her on social media knows the woman puts in hours at the gym, sweating it out.
On Friday, she had a bit of an epiphany after taking a selfie in the mirror, which revealed her incredibly toned abs.
"My fitness journey will be a life long journey. Fitness is not about being better than someone else… It's about being better than you used to be. I'm not where I want to be and who knows if I ever will be," she captioned the photo she shared on Instagram. "But I am healthier than ever and due to my consistent workouts, I am slowly seeing results. Hi baby abs 🙋!! I see you!!! I hope to meet your other ab friends soon 😝 (yes I'm talking to my muscles. I've never met most of them before)."
"Looking back at pictures of myself I didn't realize at the time how unhealthy my lifestyle actually was. People love to call me the fat one but as weird as it sounds I still don't think I would consider myself fat back then. Definitely overweight and unhealthy, yes. About two years ago I decided to turn to fitness as a form of therapy and as a stress reliever. I started slow and eventually I started working out 4 to 5 days a week," she wrote in the photo's caption.
She added, "We all have to start somewhere and doing something is better than nothing at all. Start small so you don't get discouraged and give up. Remember it is all about consistency. There are no quick fixes if you want long-term results. Working out is a huge part of my life now. I genuinely enjoy sweating out my frustrations and living a healthier life. My workouts are not all about vanity. They are about clarity for my mind and soul. We all have different journeys in life, make sure your journey is for you and you alone. Remember in the end the turtle won the race. Slow and steady. dedication and tenacity."
Alright! Now who is ready to hit the gym?

Degé, F., Kubicek, C., & Schwarzer, G. (2011). Music lessons and intelligence: A relation mediated by executive functions. Music Perception, 29(2), 195-201.
Noting several studies that have previously identified a positive association between musical instruction and intelligence, researchers in this study examine whether the relationship between musical study and intelligence may be mediated or influenced by a third variable, executive function—including abilities such as planning, focus, memory, task switching, and problem solving that control cognitive processes. To investigate whether executive functioning skills were positively related to intelligence and prolonged musical study, the researchers assessed both IQ and executive functioning in nine to twelve year-old children with varying amounts of musical instruction. The researchers found positive associations between length of musical study, scores on executive functioning tasks, and performance on intelligence tests. These findings suggest that the noted relationship between musical study and intelligence may be partially explained by increased executive functioning.
In addition to validating previous studies finding a positive association between musical instruction and IQ, the researchers also found musical study to be positively related to measures of executive functioning, even when accounting for important family background characteristics such as parental education and income level. In particular, the researchers identify two aspects of executive functioning, attention and inhibition, as the most influential aspects mediating IQ.
Although several previous studies have reported the existence of a positive relationship between IQ and musical study, little was known about the underlying nature of this relationship and there has been considerable debate as to whether musical study directly influences IQ or whether this relationship is influenced by a third relationship. As implied by the findings in the current study, there is now evidence to suggest that increased executive functioning skills are related both to prolonged musical instruction and higher IQ.
The data in this study come from 90 nine to twelve year-old children. Parents filled out surveys indicating that some of the children in the sample received no prior music lessons (33%); about 50% of the children had between one and four years of musical instruction; and some of the students in the sample had more than four years of musical instruction (17%). The researchers also collected data for each child on levels of parental education, family income, and IQ, used as a proxy for each child’s intelligence. They did not report whether they gathered data on student racial and ethnic background. The researchers found that on average students’ length of prior musical study was not correlated with levels of parental education, and found no correlation between gender and IQ in the sample. The researchers assessed executive functioning abilities through use of various graded tasks, each designed to highlight a particular executive functioning skill (i.e. planning, attention, etc.). From the collected data, the researchers then calculated overall scores on the executive functioning tasks, and compared these scores to child IQ and level of music instruction to determine whether or not these variables were correlated.
Although this study establishes a relationship between musical study, executive functioning skills, and IQ, the nature and direction of this relationship is still unclear. For instance, it is possible that children with higher levels of executive functioning and IQ may be inherently well suited to the study of music, or that children with higher IQs might also have increased executive functioning skills that enable them to persist in their musical studies. As such, the present study does not prove that improved IQ or executive functions are caused by the study of music. Furthermore, the authors of this study do not disclose the type of musical training (i.e. piano, string instruction, etc.) the students in the study received in their lessons, nor any contextual details about where the lessons took place, who provided the instruction, or its quality.
Would a similar relationship be detected in children engaged in other forms of musical instruction (e.g., ensemble-based)?
Would future studies examining other forms of arts instruction yield comparable results?
Is there a causal relationship between music study and the development of executive function?

As well As managing some of the chief aspects of your WordPress site (something we’ll be covering in more detail below), and providing you with everything you want to start a new website, one of the main selling points of this revolutionary service is access to one of the participating ThemeForest topics as part of your subscription fee.
Possessing a Single point of contact for domain name registration, site hosting, subject provision, and also the managing of things such as website updates and copies sounds really handy, but is this service worth your cash? And does this deliver the functionality your website needs?
Envato Aim to simplify the process of establishing a WordPress site with their brand new hosting service. Now, rather than registering a domain name with one company, buying a WordPress theme from a different, then signing up for an internet hosting service elsewhere, and of course connecting all those pieces together, with Envato Hosted, you are able to get all these elements through one single account, with a single recurring monthly payment.
Not only That, but the Envato Hosted staff will also take good care of site copies, core software updates and more to help make sure your site is always running smoothly.
The Convenience of a one-stop shop for all your WordPress website needs does sound appealing. We’ll pay the pricing details in greater depth later in this review, however at $19.99 a month, it is clear that this isn’t affordable, hosting. So let’s see what you get for the money.
The Envato Hosted theme installation and setup service is excellent for anyone who is either new to WordPress or short on time. After a clean installation of WordPress has been performed, your subject of choice (from the available options) will be installed and activated in your new website.
If You currently have a WordPress website, you’ll be very happy to know the Envato Hosted package comprises a migration of your website and its content into your hosting account. Additionally, it includes optional domain registration and setup, and links your domain to your own server room to make sure your site can be found at your chosen URL.
ThemeForest Is the most significant WordPress themes market, with more than 8,000 options. Among the greatest attractions of Envato Hosted is you get these themes included as part of your hosting program.
Unfortunately, In the time of writing, only a small choice of WordPress themes were available as part of the Envato Hosted service. Hopefully, later on, more theme authors will choose to opt in, however, for the time being, you may select from the best selling, multipurpose Avada, Enfold, Bridge, Jupiter, and The7 themes, among others.
As Part of the hosting safety measures, the Envato Hosted system engineers are proactive in scanning sites for malware and other issues, and DDoS protection is also in place to keep your website online. If an issue is detected, the support team will start work resolving it, while also notifying you of this circumstance. This proactive strategy also applies to assisting with hacked sites.
Considering It is not unheard of for some internet hosts to just take your site offline if they detect a potential security issue, it is good to see that the Envato Hosted team will get to work once an issue is encountered, while also keeping you in the loop as to what’s happening.
Website Snapshots can also be taken nightly, and backups are stored for 30 days (and stored offsite in Amazon S3 storage for extra security ). Right now, if you’d like to restore a backup, you will need to open a ticket to request the service team to perform this undertaking. However, Envato Hosted hopes to empower self-initiated copies and restores in the first quarter of 2017.
Regrettably, That the Envato Hosted service does not include any email hosting or management solutions. However, you can connect your Envato hosting accounts to a few of the supported email providers.
Therefore, If you’re already using an email provider such as Google Apps or even Office 365, you can link your domain name to the service. If not, registering with one of those services is your best alternative for receiving and sending emails together with your site’s domain name.
Once You have signed up using Envato Hosted, you can contact the service team round the clock. Tickets can be opened from inside your Envato hosting accounts dashboard, giving you a central place for managing your website and helpdesk correspondence.
Although Live chat is being contemplated for the long run, there’s no phone support service, with email being the only way to get in contact with the team. During the testing with this review, the Envato Hosted service team reacted quickly to any tickets which were opened.
Once You have signed up with Envato Hosted, you will be able to log in to your account dashboard. From the dashboard area, you can see your active hosting plans, the details of your WordPress website, and other important information.
We’ll Cover the utilization limitations from the pricing section. However, you can easily see how much of your visitor, disk quota, and bandwidth allocation you’ve absorbed from your Envato Hosted dashboard.
Having Your pick from a selection of high-quality WordPress themes, and all the other fantastic features covered over, is great. But maybe the most significant reason to select one web host over the following is how quickly they can serve your site to your customers.
This Guide explains why website speed is so essential. Suffice to say, if you would like more visitors, a better consumer experience, and increased goal conversion prices, then you should be doing everything you can to improve the rate of your WordPress site. With that in mind, let us look at the loading times we experienced while analyzing Envato Hosted with this review.
On Paper at least, Envato Hosted provides everything a brand new WordPress user may want. Thus, let us find out how simple this service is to use in practice.
As This is a hands-on Envato Hosted review, for testing purposes, we did sign up and launch a brand new WordPress website. Even though the time from starting the signup procedure to being able to log to the new WordPress website was not instantaneous, it only took about five minutes. However, an important part of the time was spent looking at a screen wondering what was happening.
There Were a few hiccups on the way, such as the links into the website and control panel which were delivered over not yet becoming active. This was probably because of domain name system (DNS) settings taking some time to spread, and also the new URL being in the process of going live. But as there’s no mention of those delays and potential issues during the installation process, it marginally taints the suitability of Envato Hosted for inexperienced WordPress users.
Overall, However, getting started with Envato Hosted and launching a brand new WordPress website is relatively straightforward. You really can register a domain, select a theme, and select which demo to get installed, all through a single signup procedure. But whilst everything did work, the enrollment procedure felt somewhat rough around the edges in comparison with that of Envato Hosted’s competitors.
For the Sake of contrast, another evaluation WordPress website, also using Avada and the same Agency demonstration, took just over a second longer to load a low-cost, entry-level shared hosting account.
Pingdom is a popular monitoring service, and Among the greatest methods to measure the operation of a web site. After signing up with Envato Hosted, the Avada motif was set up and the Agency demo website content imported.
As That the Avada Agency demo homepage involves a multimedia slider with video content and other big documents, it was determined that a more standard page in the demonstration, consisting of images and text, would yield more relevant results. Once the evaluation WordPress website was put up, Pingdom recorded the loading times of this internal blog article at 30-minute intervals.
After Monitoring site speed with Pingdom, the typical load time over the previous seven days to get our WordPress website, hosted by Envato using the Avada motif and its Agency demonstration, was 2.96 seconds, using a YSlowperformance grade of B and 85/100. The loading times were recorded at fixed intervals throughout the testing period.
Website Uptime was also monitored with Pingdom. During the testing, six instances of downtime were discovered, together with the site unavailable for 15 minutes in total. This resulted in a uptime of 99.85percent based on Pingdom. Even though the site returned to its accessible state without any intervention, the longest amount of downtime as can be seen from the image below — has been a somewhat worrying nine moments.
This Price also includes any qualifying WordPress theme from ThemeForest, such as bestselling selections like Avada, X Theme, and Enfold. Also included in the service is the installation of your chosen theme and its own demo, as well as continuing support for your site. Free migration of an existing WordPress site to your hosting accounts is also included.
As Mentioned, since the Envato Hosted service is fully managed, the staff will take care of WordPress core upgrades, provide base-level security, monitor your website for mistakes, and back up the site daily.
When it Comes to use, your own $19.99 per month or $190 per year includes 100,000 monthly visits, 5GB of disk space, and 100GB of monthly bandwidth. These quotas are soft limits, and nothing automatic will happen should you go over them. Rather, if excessive usage is detected, expect to be contacted by the service team to talk about a solution that works for both parties. There are no overage charges in place at the moment.
But, Neither of those competitor options comprises a premium ThemeForest WordPress motif and installation. The appeal of this Envato Hosted service is having everything in one location, under a single account, such as your domain name, hosting service, WordPress theme, and support team.
You can Attempt Envato Hosted for free within a seven-day trial. You’ll need to enter your payment details to begin, but the trial period is a good way to find out for yourself how the service functions.

In this Envato Components review, we’ll explore what this service offers, how it functions, and how much it’s to help you decide if this is a great alternative for your requirements.
Although Avada is among the most popular WordPress topics about, its abundance of features and functionality could be overkill for some jobs. If your needs are more small and you’d love to know how Envato Hosted performs with a more nominal WordPress theme, we tested a website with the free Twenty Seventeen motif from the WordPress.org team.
Unlike Avada, the free Twenty Seventeen theme does not contain or rely upon any plugins. Therefore, this no frills WordPress theme gave Envato Hosted a fantastic chance to demonstrate how quickly it may deliver a website. With a mean loading period of 335 milliseconds, and also a grade operation more than seven days of testing, Envato Hosted definitely has the potential to rapidly serve a WordPress site to your viewers.
Even though An uptime of 99.85% was listed by Pingdom throughout our initial round of testing, there wasn’t any downtime recorded in our second seven-day phase of testing.
Your Requirements and the last configuration of your website will probably sit somewhere in between among those full-featured Avada demos and the minimum Twenty Seventeen theme. Your results will surely vary from ours, but ours ought to give you a rough idea about what to expect from Envato Hosted. What’s more, using a seven-day free trial, then you must have sufficient time to perform speed testing of your site prior to making a final choice on Envato Hosted.
It is Also worth pointing out that though Envato Hosted doesn’t prohibit using any specific plugins (like some other managed WordPress hosts), they do suggest avoiding caching plugins, as Envato already applies server caching to all sites on their own platform. But while Envato Hosted does not yet preserve their own content delivery network (CDN), you’re free to make use of a third-party CDN of your choice — another popular way to accelerate a WordPress site.
Testing The speed of a website and its web host isn’t as straightforward as it may seem. Running a manual evaluation with a respectable service such as Pingdom or even GTmetrix can produce wildly varying results from 1 moment to the next. To counteract this, for our tests, the superior Pingdom service was used to mechanically record the rate of this test site at 30-minute intervals around the clock for seven days.
There Are numerous factors which can affect the load times of your site, such as your choice of theme, which plugins you’re using, which sort of content you’re publishing, how many visitors are trying to get your site at one time, and where those visitors are located. Nevertheless, these test results must provide you some notion of what to expect from Envato Hosted.

Concerned About AFib or Stroke?
We’re here to help. If you have questions or need assistance, call 203.276.2321 or email afib@stamhealth.org.
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a type of abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia. Those with AFib are often at high risk for stroke. It’s important to look at the horizon for years to come, even if the current risk of stroke may seem small.
Many with personal experience know that AFib treatment often includes blood thinners. They’re also aware to proceed with caution because of the associated risks of bleeding. The WATCHMAN™ Left Atrial Appendage Closure Implant offers a new treatment option that can eliminate the need for blood thinners.
What is the WATCHMAN™ Left Atrial Appendage Closure Implant?
The WATCHMAN device is a one-time, permanent implant that reduces the risk of stroke in patients with AFib, eliminating the need for and long-term risk of bleeding caused by blood thinners such as warfarin.
What's involved in the WATCHMAN procedure?
The procedure takes about an hour. We implant the WATCHMAN device similar to a stent, in which a narrow tube is inserted through a small opening in the upper part of your leg. We’ll then carefully place the WATCHMAN device into the appropriate location in your heart. You’ll be under general anesthesia and likely stay in the hospital overnight.
Is WATCHMAN a good alternative to blood thinners?
Many patients who have received atrial fibrillation treatment have a strong aversion to the idea of taking blood thinners due to the worry around risks of bleeding in other places. The ideal solution has been to find a way to prevent stroke without the need for blood-thinning therapy. The WATCHMAN device is FDA approved and an effective alternative for patients who can’t be on adequate stroke protection.
Am I eligible for WATCHMAN?
Those with AFib not caused by heart valve problems who would like to explore an alternative to blood thinners may be eligible for WATCHMAN. If you have a history of bleeding along with your AFib, or if your lifestyle puts you at risk for bleeding, discuss the procedure with your doctor.
You can’t take warfarin, aspirin or clopidogrel.
You can’t undergo heart catheterization procedures.
You’re allergic or sensitive to nitinol (nickel and titanium) or anything else the WATCHMAN Implant is made of.
Your left atrial appendage is too large or too small to fit WATCHMAN.
Overall, the decision to implant WATCHMAN doesn't come without its challenges. It's a balance of protect against stroke and appropriately manage the related risks.
Is WATCHMAN covered by medical insurance?
If you're an eligible Medicare patient who meets certain criteria, WATCHMAN will most likely be covered. An increasing number of commercial insurance companies are also beginning to cover the procedure.
How was WATCHMAN™ initially received by patients when it first came to Stamford Health?
Patients are generally receptive to it and express an overall interest. It strikes conversation because of the common worry around blood thinners. First and foremost, the common denominator with all patients is risk of stroke, which can be a scary reality. It’s important to look at the horizon for five years, even if the current risk of stroke may seem small.
We also closely look at where our patients are in life. Some of them fall frequently, have ulcers and/ or are very active. Lifelong skiers don’t want to stop, so we can’t advocate blood thinners for those with high risk of impact. The decision is challenging. We want to protect against stroke on one hand, and then on the other hand, appropriately manage the related risks.
What can we expect to see in the future of WATCHMAN?
Everyone is different. If and when we get to this juncture, it would be nice to offer patients something tailored to their own desires.

October marks the beginning of pheasant season in southern Maine, and IFW biologists and local rod and gun clubs were out earlier in the week, releasing birds at a variety of sites.
Over the course of the season, the department will release 2,300 birds on three different release dates. The next pheasant release date is October 11, and then the final release date will be October 18.
The fall season for wild turkeys also begins this week. Lindsay says that he is still seeing turkeys throughout the region, but not as many as years past due to some harsh winters and increased turkey hunting opportunities. Lindsay suggests changing your tactics when hunting this bird in the fall.
Lindsay did add that this fall, he had close to 20 requests for bear baiting sites on wildlife management areas in southern Maine. He said that several of those hunters were successful in getting a bear, and that many of them got a lot of activity from bears that were confirmed with game cam pictures.
Waterfowl season is heating up in central and coastal Maine.
If you are a wood duck hunter, this might be one of the better years in a while.
Green Point in Dresden is another good choice for waterfowl hunting. The gate is open down to the point and it offers excellent access to Merrymeeting Bay.
If you are a goose hunter, things are looking good as well. Unity Pond has hundreds of geese that are roosting on the pond, then heading out at first light to feed in the fields around the area.
If you are looking to go duck hunting, don’t forget your federal duck stamp. They are available at your local post office. Some hunters have had to go to multiple post offices to get theirs, so plan ahead. You can also get them online from the US Postal Service.
And the early word is that that the grouse study at Frye Mountain Wildlife Management Area had good grouse numbers which should translate to a good season.
After two harsh winters Downeast, upland bird numbers are rebounding.
If you are looking to turkey hunt downeast,, WMDs 16 and 28 have a two bird bag limit, while WMD 19 has a one bird bag limit. There is no fall turkey hunting in WMD 27.
Now is a great time to go waterfowl hunting in the western foothills and western mountain areas of the state.
“Any of our wildlife management areas such as Stump Pond in Strong, Fahi Pond in Embden, Chesterville WMA in Chesterville, Mercer Bog in Mercer and Black Brook Flowage in Carrying Place Township all are good bets for waterfowl hunting,” said IFW wildlife biologist Chuck Hulsey.
Fall turkey hunters aren’t likely to as many turkeys as they’ve seen in years past. “There are fewer turkeys out there with the harsh winters we’ve had the past two winters,” said Hulsey.
With a relatively good spring from nesting, upland bird hunters in the area should see an average to an above average year for birds.
While much of Maine was dry this spring, it was a little different in parts of northern Maine.
“I was a little concerned about grouse numbers after all the water we had up here in the nesting season,” said IFW wildlife biologist Doug Kane, who added that once the foliage drops, hunters should start seeing birds.
With the start of the regular archery season for deer, Kane is glad to hear favorable reports on deer in the area.
“Deer numbers are showing up really well. There’s been a lot of sightings and we are seeing a slow upward growth in the population after the two very difficult winters we had in 08 and 09,” said Kane.
Bear hunters in the Moosehead region are doing well, but with all the natural foods in woods, it was more difficult to get a bear using bait.
The moose hunt started slow in the northern part of the region with temperatures in the mid-70s on Monday, but with the rain and cooler weather, hunters were seeing more moose by mid-week.
By mid-week, area moose tagging stations were busy. Island Falls had registered nine moose, Mount Chase registered 11 and Springfield had 10 registered. Abol Bridge was the busiest as usual, registering 27 moose through early Thursday.
With the early part of bear season over, numbers look similar to last year.
Bird hunters were out the first day of the season, and even though it was windy, they were finding success. Many moose hunters were on the prowl for birds as well. Foliage is still thick throughout the region.
If you are looking to turkey hunt in the area, you will want to hunt the southern part of the region. “I’ve noticed some good flocks of turkeys in the Bradford, Lagrange and Charleston areas,” said Starr.
If you are looking to go grouse hunting, the Bud Leavitt Wildlife Management Area is an excellent choice. IFW biologists have been working to free apple trees that are overly grown in, and have been cutting different areas of the forested landscape in both strip and block cuts for grouse and woodcock. The staggered cuts provide excellent habitat in different stages of growth for both game birds. Page Farm on the Mattawamkeag River Wildlife Management Area is another good choice to hunt.
At 7:00 a.m. on Thursday, it was 43 degrees in parts of Aroostook County, a marked contrast to the mid-70s that were prevalent for moose hunters earlier in the week.
Even with the warm weather, there were steady numbers of moose being registered, including several over 1,000 pounds.
Thursday also marked the beginning what should be a good grouse season up north.
“It’s also looking good for duck season up here. We’ve seen good production with a high number of broods and there’s a lot of food available. What we’ve seen in the past is that if the food is here, the ducks will stay put,” said Hoppe. “The recent rain has spread the ducks out, but once things dry out a bit, the duck hunting will pick up.

Racism, discrimination, xenophobia and prejudice are the most stinging forces often encountered by immigrants. Even though hurtful words are sometimes hurled totally unintentionally or in jest, rarely are they music to an immigrant’s ears.
It’s been five years since I moved to Switzerland. I often get asked if I have faced any directly malicious racist remarks here. My answer is: No. One possible reason for this is that I am often addressed more as an “expat” than an immigrant – in other words, I come from a more privileged background than some other newcomers in Switzerland.
That isn’t to say I haven’t been subjected to stereotypes or prejudice at all. I laugh it off when people presume that I work in information technology, or that I know Bollywood dancing because I come from India. To their disappointment, I am good at neither. Once my neighbor said I must be fine with 30-degree weather – since I come from India, I must be used to the heat. “I am used to this weather but I still don’t enjoy frying under the sun like an egg,” I replied half laughingly. Laughingly, because I knew it was an ‘innocent’ presumption.
Humor is a good way to deal with some of these remarks. However, there are still some situations that are far from funny. Stories differ from migrant to migrant and from situation to situation. Some experiences leave a bitter taste that lasts forever.
A professor at a major Swiss university, who immigrated to Switzerland at a very young age from Iran, shared his experience with Lucify.ch.
Shocked at her response, he told her he was a Swiss citizen and that Switzerland was his home. “Klar, ein eingekaufter Schweizer,” came her reply. “She accused me of buying my citizenship and unsurprisingly, she refused to revoke the fine and left me sitting there, confused and very rattled,” he said, visibly upset over the experience.
There are many incidences of racism in Switzerland these days. The country has more than two million foreigners. It is one of the most favored nations for immigrants. With more diversity comes growing racism. A Federal Statistical Office report recently stated that 60% of the Swiss population considers racism an important social problem.
Another report by the Network of Counseling Centers for Victims of Racism, 2017, showed that most racist incidents occurred in workplaces or education and training institutes, and the most common forms of discrimination are unequal treatment, insults, and denigrating treatment driven by xenophobia and anti-black racism. The report also mentioned that hostility against Muslims and anti-Arab racism had increased from 2016.
Last year there were reports about racism at the ETH university. Racist graffiti and slogans like ‘No Asians’ appeared on the walls and lifts of the university. Photos of some of Asian students were also crossed out.
“Doesn’t everyone speak with an accent? Even the British have an accent. I am often asked not to make a presentation with the accent-excuse. I think it is highly prejudiced,” she told Lucify, requesting anonymity.
Racist remarks in the workplace are quite regular. Another migrant woman, after putting great effort into finding work, was called for a job interview. “They offered me a really low salary. Their excuse was that since I came from a third-world country, the salary they offered was still much more than what I would have gotten in my country,” she told Lucify.
While it is unfair to assume that everyone is biased or anti-immigrant, comments like these are quite common in an immigrant’s life. Whether immigration is a good thing or not, and whether the governments should support immigration, are the issues that require discussion in larger platforms, at a political level.
For us, for now, the pressing question is: how do we curb the tendency to confine people into boxes? Can every Sri Lankan can be assumed to work only in the kitchen? Similarly, can everyone from Turkey be assumed to own a Turkish shop?
Are we not implicitly biased against immigrants?
Thanks for sharing your story Shalini. It is very common issue yet least discussed.
Nice article Parul. I am glad someone has raised this. On my last visit to my brother in Netherlands(that happened to be my first), we were stopped just while coming out of the airport, cause apparently my brother resembled a fugitive on the run. He is a far cry from that. While i agree the police were doing their job, the color of your skin should not be the only parameter. That said, one will meet people with all kinds of perceptions everywhere.

The skinny: Sometimes we want to feel a little fancy when eating some pizza. Don’t get us wrong, we’ll always love the pizza places we grew up visiting, but it’s nice to enjoy our favorite food in style now and then. Fortunately, we’re finding pizza on the menu at nice restaurants more and more often. That includes places like Giorgio’s Ristorante & Meze Bar in Milford.
The menu at Giorgio’s is huge, but we were focused on only one part – the grilled pizzas. The oval-shaped dough for these pizzas is first cooked on the grill, then finished off in the oven. All of their pizzas come in full or half options, the latter of which allows you to take a tapas-like approach to pizza ordering.
Pizzas start at $6.99 for a half and $8.99 for a full size of their standard pizza, with your choice of red sauce or garlic and herb oil base, and its blend of cheeses. You can add toppings for 99 cents each for a half pizza and $1.99 for a full. While Giorgio’s has the standards covered when it comes to toppings, it also offers some different flavors, like prosciutto, crumbled bleu cheese and artichokes.
There are lots of specialty pizzas to choose from, if you don’t feel like building your own. The Giorgio’s Signature ($9.99 for a half, $14.99 for a full) combines extra pepperoni and cheese with fried hot sausage ravioli. The Prosciutto and Peach combines caramelized peaches, prosciutto and goat cheese baked with mozzarella. There’s also the Potato Pizza ($9.99, $15.99) which starts with an herb and garlic crust (no red sauce) and piles on Greek fries, pancetta and mozzarella, with a drizzle of Greek yogurt.
If you want something a little different, you can also try the Stromboli: like a smaller version of a calzone, it’s pizza dough stuffed with prosciutto, pepperoni, sausage, basil, ricotta and mozzarella, along with red sauce for dipping.
Giorgio’s has a second location in Merrimack.
Review: We couldn’t quite agree on a pizza, so we opted for two half-size pizzas: Deidre ordered for the Roasted Garlic Margherita ($9.49), while Andrew went with the Royale with Cheese ($9.99).
The very thin crust immediately won Deidre over. In fact, she mentioned it to Andrew several times over dinner. The grilled crust showed some char, but the taste didn’t reflect the same. The outside of the pizza was crispy, while the inside was a wonderful mix of crispy and chewy. Andrew thought it was a great way to prepare the crust ahead of time without sacrificing quality or flavor.
On the margherita pizza, the fresh mozzarella was prominently featured. Deidre feels that with margherita pizzas, you can never be sure what to expect with the cheese quantity, but at Giorgio’s, there was no skimping. The cheese slices were a little on the thicker side, but melted well and weren’t greasy at all.
It had been a while since the taste of tomato was the most noticeable part of the sauce, but that’s what Deidre noted at Giorgio’s. There were a few tomato chunks visible throughout the pizza.
Fresh basil covered the top of Deidre’s meal, but the garlic was what shocked her: This is definitely a pizza for garlic lovers. On just the half pizza, more than a dozen cloves covered the slices. While she didn’t mind some of it, she had to move a few of the cloves to the side of her plate.
The Royale with Cheese was colorful and pretty to look at, and once Andrew took his first bite, he was blown away by the complex flavors. The pizza included braised ground beef, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese and a mustardy special sauce. Usually, it’s easy enough to separate the taste of pizza toppings, but that was not the case here. Everything blended together perfectly.
The mustard sauce stood out the most. Andrew thought it provided a tangy bite that he’s never tasted on a pizza before. The lettuce certainly serves to tie together the burger concept, but it also provides just a bit of relief from the flavorful mustard.
The ground beef brought its own flavor to the table, as well. This wasn’t dried hunks of hamburg, but instead juicy ground beef that was just a bit sweet – a great foil to the tangy mustard.
Andrew had only one nerdy quibble with his pizza. The name Royale with Cheese is no doubt familiar to anyone who’s seen “Pulp Fiction,” but that refers to McDonald’s Quarter Pounder with Cheese (remember … no metric system). This burger seemed more of an approximation of the Big Mac, which Vincent Vega taught us was simply Le Big Mac. Name aside, Andrew thought this was an excellent pizza.
It was just OK for the cold pizza test, though. The crust is probably best enjoyed fresh, and in the case of the Royale with Cheese, the lettuce was a bit wilted after a night exposed in the fridge. It’s hard to fault the pizza too much. Next time, Andrew will just finish it all at the restaurant.

O’Neill’s debut novel was a YA hit in the U.K., where it was published last year. “Only Ever Yours,” released in the U.S. in May, is a dystopian story of a finishing school for girls where technology is used to enforce extreme standards of beauty and conformity.
Killer Content was formed last year through the merger of Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler’s Killer Films with Glass Elevator Media, a content incubator launched by Adrienne Becker.
“Only Ever Yours” is designed to be a bigger-budget film than Killer has fielded in the past. The indie stalwart’s latest pic, Todd Haynes’ “Carol,” has been generating awards buzz. It’s set for release Nov. 20.
Killer Content is working with the newly launched nonprofit Two Brass Brads to finance “Only Ever Yours.” Two Brass Brads is described as non-profit organization that creates “socially relevant” content that will be released in tandem with activist campaigns and educational efforts.
Among the org’s supporters is Philippe Hoerle-Guggenheim, whose Hoerle-Guggenheim art gallery is hosting a book party for O’Neill in New York on Wednesday.

I was so excited about the story I had found of an old tale where Fairies “light” the Christmas trees on Christmas Eve. It was the basis for my Fairy Tree that I did for The Festival of Trees this year. That being said, I obviously did not tag it like I thought I had, and the story is lost to the pages of Google! So instead of wasting yet more time trying to find what I wanted, I thought I would share some other interesting tidbits that I learned.
There are several legends in Mexico as to how poinsettias came to life.
Two different versions of basically the same story – a little boy who prayed at the altar on Christmas Eve because he was so poor he had no gift to bring the Christ child for his birthday. The first flame-bright Fleur della Noche Buena, Flower of the Holy Night, sprang at his feet as his miracle gift to give.
In other legends it’s the story of a young girl who had no gift to bring and as she lay weeping in the cathedral an angel appeared and told her to pick some tall weeds growing nearby. When she placed them on the altar as her offering to the baby Jesus, they burst into the brilliant red flower.
Although we don’t know how true the legends are, we do know that thanks to Dr. Joel Roberts Poinsett, an amateur botanist and American Ambassador in Mexico, he brought the beautiful red and green plant back to his home state of South Carolina. And now we know it as the Poinsettia.
To the right is a picture of a poinsettia tree from Armenia, Colombia. This was from my trip in 2007. I had never seen a poinsettia this big!
Wishing you all a very joyous and safe holiday season however you chose to celebrate.
We have so many crazy fun things for the holidays this year. Here are just a few snap shots.
We will have 2 special retail shopping Saturdays this month – December 6th and 20th from 10am – 2pm. (I’m not doing services these dates; these hours are for retail shopping only.) If you need to stop by at another time please let me know. If you already know what you need then just let me know and I will get it all ready for you. And prezzies will be gift wrapped as well.
No time to stop by? Don’t forget we sell gift certificates online!
My tree for The Festival of Trees is up and ready for viewing. This year I decorated a tree at The Hampton Inn across from the Lazy Goat.
Stop by and take a picture of the tree and upload it to Facebook. Be sure to tag Raspberry Moon’s Facebook page (or post the pics to our Facebook page directly).
At the end of the year all those who have posted a picture will be entered into a drawing to win a little sercie!
After you view the trees, head next door to The Lazy Goat to hang out with my friend Juan and have a strawberry Caipirinha, my favorite. Tell him I sent you. Love him.
Mark your calendar for our first Ladies Lunch and Learn – Saturday, January 17 from 11am – 1pmish! We will be offering a series of luncheons in 2015 to learn something new, raise money for a great cause, get healthy and meet new fun people. We will be having a separate email coming out in a few weeks about the event but I wanted to make you aware so you don’t miss out.
Me ;) – We will be making our own teas, which we will be enjoying during our lunch and the remainder for you to take home.
Alison Lively with Creative Living Wellness will be talking about cooking with herbs and their health benefits.
Betsy Exton with Pure on Main will be talking about her favorite subject – “Perfect Poop” – Detoxing and releasing physical, mental and emotional waste.
Liz Delany with Greenville Yoga will be talking about yoga poses for digestive health.
The location is to be determined. I almost have that narrowed down. We are planning on having food that will be themed with the tea so you can taste how you can use these herbs in more than just teas.
This is going to be so much fun – we did these a few years ago and they went over very well. The Luncheon and Learn for April is already set up as well!
Please keep in mind this is a busy time of year for everyone. My schedule looks like a 5,000 piece jigsaw puzzle. I am doing my best to get everyone in at their preferred times. If for any reason you are unable to make your appointment please let me know a minimum of 2 days beforehand. You should be receiving your appointment reminders via email 2 days beforehand as well. This will allow me time to contact another client who may be trying to enjoy some down time this holiday.
Please do not make me enforce the last minute cancellation or no show policy during the holidays! I do have a few spots left through December. If you would like an appointment please contact me this week. Thank you for your understanding and participation. Happy Holidays Y’all! Love ya!
Other than that, work is on like usual! I will also be open on Saturdays, December 6th and 20th, from 10am-2pm to help you with your last-minute Christmas shopping.

Children with NOFTT tend to live in households containing more marital or relationship problems, and caregivers appear to have less social support than caregivers of well children (Iwaniec, Herbert, & McNeish, 1985).
Schmitt (1988) reported accidental FTT made up around 19 percent of the total number of cases of NOFTT.
Some cases of NOFTT can be linked to maladaptive allocation of food.

Gavin Varejes is not only known as a serious sports enthusiast, but also as a generous philanthropist. Year after year Varejes combines these two passions to bring together golf days or nights, held in aid of charity, in which his friends, clients and associates takes part.
2015’s Richmark golf event took place in October at the Randpark Golf Club. The theme was ‘Sporting Celebrities’ and well-known sport stars like John Smit, James Small, Wayne Fyvie and Gary Teichman joined other players in the game. After the golfing event, there was a dinner and an auction where sporting pieces were auctioned off for charity. The 2016 event proved to be as successful as the previous year’s festivities.
Richmark Holdings held the annual golf event in 2016 at Houghton Golf Club on the 3rd of November. The field comprised of nine holes played by 128 players who were comfortably navigating the field assisted by fluorescent tees and balls.
The event raised a sizable amount for charity and the CEO of Richmark Holdings Andrew Dunn proudly handed over two cheques to two beneficiaries. One was given to Joint Aid Management (JAM), and another to The Kirsty Watts Foundation. Each cheque was for ZAR200,000. Gavin Varejes and Richmark are delighted to have been able to provide this support.
Richmark Holdings, Gavin Varejes and Andrew Dunn would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to all the clients, colleagues and friends who made the event possible and contributed to its success. The team is looking forward to at least another decade of backing these deserving charities through many more games of golf. The next event is due to take place on the 24th of November 2017.

First we will focus on what the Bible says about ministry and Eastwood’s strategy for ministry. We will then look at the Five Personal Factors that continue to shape the “real” you. By identifying the specific traits you possess in each of these areas, the ministry for which God has designed you for will become clearer. Finally, you will have the opportunity to sign-up for ministry and start serving!

My introduction to the business side of media came when I was a teenager. My dad was a television rep who sold time to ad agencies. Broadcasting Magazine showed up every week and once in a while, he’d have a Nielsen book in his briefcase for me to peruse. From my perspective, the business seemed pretty simple. The seller and buyer agreed on a price based on how many people they thought might be watching and how narrowly defined the parameters were with respect to when the ad could run. In other words, they negotiated and measured based on ratings, rate, and rotation.
When I actually followed my father into the media business, not much had changed. Sure, the numbers were more demographically-based instead of on household counts, but the business was pretty much the 3 R’s. Not anymore. In fact, a recent study by ID Comms found that most advertisers see media as a complex headache. It is pretty overwhelming now, both from the perspective of available media options as well as the addition of digital channels such as social media. The fact that a huge percentage of media is now bought programmatically through systems that are often rife with fraud and lacking in transparency adds to the headache.
I don’t think it’s the complexity of the media world that’s causing the headache. I think it’s a misplaced emphasis on buying efficiency at the expense of both strategic thinking and measuring results on things other than easily-manipulated metrics such as CPM. If a campaign makes the cash register ring, it’s effective. If it doesn’t, what good is it to have delivered something useless in a highly-efficient manner?
I’ve spoken with friends on both the sales and buying side of the equation. There seems to be universal frustration but not much in the way of solutions. It really needs to come from the people who control the purses – the clients. They need to stop thinking about CPM’s as a measure of efficiency (at least when it comes to digital, anyway) and place a lot more emphasis on strategy. Is the register ringing? Is the phone? Are there more interactions on social even if the number of “likes” isn’t rising? Is there a buzz about your brand? Those are the modern metrics that are relevant in the long-term and that kind of thinking can cure a media headache many folks are now experiencing. You agree?

The many simple and complex concepts, ideas and things that we enjoy now and benefit from have their origins back to the ancient civilization. Let’s travel through time as we take a look on who and where these valuable inventions came from.
The all-time favorite – Chocolate – has its origins 3,000 years ago in ancient Mesoamerica. The Mayas, Aztecs and Toltecs cultivated the Cacao tree from which the chocolate is derived. The Maya, in particular, revered the cacao tree so much so that they worshipped it. Perhaps because the lathered beverage that they prepare from the cocoa beans gave them the needed vitality, enhanced their mood and stimulated their sexual desires. The Cacao tree, due to its value and importance, was even used as a legal tender.
The Spanish conquerors, in their quest to find treasures in the New World, chanced upon the shores of Mesoamerica. Aware of its potential, they brought chocolate into their domain upon their return and the rest, as they say, is history.

This is a very historic year for our country and province in particular as we mark the coming of age of our nation emerging from the shadow of apartheid and also the 61th milestone of extraordinary women who fought for our democracy.
The commemoration and celebrations of Women’s day in South Africa should be viewed as a very important victory for women’s emancipation in our country and the African continent as a whole. The 9th August was declared by the democratic government to recognise the role played by the heroic march of 1956 lead by women of all races and class during Apartheid South Africa. The commitment of ordinary women to improve the lives of their children was evident in the sheer determination that was displayed during the mobilization towards the march and the march itself.
Women also recognised that the emancipation of women and the attainment of freedom and democracy will not fall from the sky but will be achieved through hard work and fighting the oppressive regime. During this year we lost a remarkable woman, Ma Ruth Mompati, who was part of the organizing of women from this part of the country to participate in the historic march against unjust pass laws of that time.
This is highly appropriate for the current historic context that I just alluded to, the ploughing of the ground in this quotation refers to the time when Charlotte Maxeke and her peers lead the way to establish the ANCWL and the crops relates to the fact that we have a South Africa that recognized that women are equal to men.
Today 61 years on, as we celebrate the remarkable contribution of the women of 1956 that laid the foundation for our socio-economic freedom, we take stock of our achievements; fully aware of the challenges that still lie ahead. We stand proud as a nation and women in particular to have Nkozazana Dlamini- Zuma as the chair of the African Union Commission, more than 40 percent of our national cabinet is women and the Northern Cape Province has had 3 women Premier’s in the past 20years.
The rain of opportunities refers to women’s active participation in the economy, women making taking up senior positions in government and private sector was as a result of the thunder and lightning of the heroic march of 1956 lead by Lillian Ngoyi, Sophia Williams De Bruyn, Helen Jospeh and Rahima Moosa.
The might and splendor of the oceans we are talking about represents the fact that more young girls are in school than before, more young girls are the top performers in math’s and science; young women are obtaining tertiary qualifications and accessing jobs that lift families and communities out of poverty and all this was made possible by the sacrifices of the awful rivers that represent the combatants of MK, like Ruth Mompati, Mittah Seperepere and many more.
Die Noordkaap Provinsie is ‘n redelike jong provinsie en in terme van die bevolking is die meerderheid hiervan vroue. Dit beteken dus dat die driedubbele bedreiging van ongelykheid, armoede en werkloosheid tref vrouens die hardste in die provinsie. Die bevordering van geslagsgelykheid en die bemagtiging van vroue is daarom sentraal tot hierdie ANC-regering se pogings om armoede te bekamp en volhoubare ontwikkeling te stimuleer. As 'n regering sal ons verseker dat meer jong meisies befondsing kry om aan tersiêre instellings te studeer en dat hulle geleenthede in indiensopleiding in beide die regering en die private sektore kry.
Die bemagtiging van jong vroue is van kardinale belang om te verseker dat die wanbalanse wat deur Apartheid geskep is uitgewus word. Die feit dat meer hulpbronne beskikbaar gestel moet word aan bemagtiging van die meisiekind is hoog op die agenda van 'n ontwikkelinde regering soos ons s’n. Dit kom dus as geen verassing dat die top presterende leerders in graad 12 vir die afgelope twee jaar agtereenvolgend meisies was.
We are unapologetic for the fact that we want more women to be involved in economic activity in the province. The relaunching of the Mme Re Ka Thusa trust fund ensured that we created a provincial vehicle that will assist women to develop and grow small and medium size businesses to empower themselves and lift their families out of poverty. This past year alone, much-needed funding has been distributed to women owned business throughout the province. Just a few days ago we announced the female entrepreneur in the agriculture sector. The hosting of this event every year indicates the growth of women in this sector and we want to congratulate the winners in all categories.
Recently we hosted Imbizo’s with the Department of Mineral Resources and one of the key issues is still the marginalization of women in the mining sector and this will have to be addressed soon. The major planned retrenchment in the mining sector will compound the misery already faced by women in the province. We therefore urge this sector to take into account the effect that this will have on households that are led by women in this province. The old saying still remains relevant that states to empower a women means you empower a nation.
As the leader of this provincial government I am aware of the many social challenges faced by women of this province. The abuse of alcohol and increase in Foetal Alcohol Syndrome cases in the province; that impacts more severely on women as the ultimate protector of the family. We again call on all employers that still use some elements of the dop system to stop this practice. Women should act more responsibly in taking care of unborn children that God has entrusted us with.
The high illiteracy rate amongst women must be eradicated and a dedicated programme must be implemented by the Vocational Education Training centres and other skills development institutions in the province. The 16 days of activism for no violence against women and children campaign in the province must make more of an impact on the lives of women living in rural areas. Even more support should be provided to victim empowerment centres in the province to protect the vulnerable of society.
Having said this, ladies and gentlemen, the struggle for freedom and equality continues for women beyond equal participation. These struggles touch at the very core of the rights of women in our country and demands strong action, not only from women, but also from all South Africans.
We call on society to draw inspiration from the legacy of the brave women who defied the apartheid state. Their hopes and dreams lives on in today's generation of women who will move South Africa forward.
