There are countless guides available, in print and online, for anyone planning travel to, in, and around Rome, and resources for traveling in the south, though skimpier, are not hard to come by (type “Basilicata Italy travel” into Google, and you’ll get about 600,000 results). This is not the place for that sort of advice, though I do have one practical suggestion for the southern leg of the trip: use a travel agent who specializes in Italy, for it will save you many headaches and much hassle, at a cost that is truly negligible relative to the overall expense (we used Connoisseur’s Travel, an excellent agency based in Chicago). That general suggestion aside, the notes that follow concentrate on the experience of the via Appia itself.
Excellent preparation for traveling the Appia can be found in The Appian Way: From Its Foundation to the Middle Ages, a sumptuous production edited by Ivana Della Portella and published by Oxford University Press for the Getty Museum. It is by far the best of the very few books in English that treat the whole length of the road for a general audience, with a marvelous collection of photographs and a series of essays on the successive segments of the route. The essays are informative, if impersonal and a bit stiff, and though the book is not intended to be a field guide—other considerations aside, its hardcover, 8.5″× 10.5″ format makes it a bit unwieldy for that sort of use—each essay contains an “itinerary” that can be photocopied and carried for reference.
The two best English-language guides to the archaeological sites in and around the capital are Rome, also from Oxford University Press, in a second edition (2010) by Amanda Claridge, Judith Toms, and Tony Cubberley; and Rome and Environs: An Archaeological Guide, by Filippo Coarelli (Berkeley, 2008). Both are available in paperback, and both are helpful in an “on your left you will see… , and then on your right…” sort of way. For the Appia specifically, the itineraries available online—gratis and in English—at the archeological park’s website are well worth having on hand as you walk (http://www.parcoappiaantica.it/en/default.asp). In Italian there are two sets of itineraries that cover the length of the Appia, one produced by Lorenzo Quilici—the greatest modern scholar of the road—for the series Itinerari d’arte e di cultura / Via Appia; the other by a range of authors for the series Antiche strade.
A bit further afield, Ray Laurence’s Roads of Roman Italy: Mobility and Cultural Change (London, 1999), while unmistakably an academic book, gives an accessible and imaginative overview of its subject. In a different vein entirely, there’s Steven Saylor’s Murder on the Appian Way (New York, 1997), about the death of Clodius, one of a series of mystery-thrillers featuring “Gordianus the Finder” that take episodes in Cicero’s career as their starting points: written with a scholar’s sense of the period and a novelist’s feel for character, the whole series has given me many hours of pleasure.
Then there are two books written from a personal point of view and in a personal voice. In Between Two Seas: A Walk Down the Appian Way (London, 1991), Charles Lister, a former BBC announcer and schoolmaster, offers a quirky account of a trek he made from Rome to Brindisi in 1961: though it has interesting reflections on what a still very rural southern Italy was like fifty years ago, the writing is often dire—if the Mezzogiorno in the middle third of the twentieth century is what you’re after, far better to read Carlo Levi’s masterpiece, Christ Stopped at Eboli. Peter Stothard’s On the Spartacus Road (New York, 2010), as its title suggests, is not about the Appia itself, though the trail of Spartacus’s insurrection inevitably overlaps with the Appia for significant stretches: as literate and engaging as you would expect a book by the editor of the Times Literary Supplement to be, it does not bear much love for the Romans. (Whereas earlier generations of British scholars and intellectuals tended to admire the Roman Empire as a forerunner of their own, the consensus in postimperial Britain has shifted, and there now seems to be broad agreement that the Romans were bastards. My view is that the Romans were what they were, and that understanding what they were does not advance by taking an attitude toward them, especially when the attitude is one of moral superiority.) Finally, if some background reading would be useful, to help you tell the Angevins from the Aragonese (and from all the rest who seized, held, and lost chunks of southern Italy over the centuries), I can recommend Christopher Duggan’s A Concise History of Italy (Cambridge, 1994).
It will already be clear, from the beginning of this book, that I emphatically do not recommend walking the first two miles of the Appia beyond the porta San Sebastiano: between the traffic and the encroachment that has privatized most of the antiquities worth seeing, the risk is not remotely offset by the gain. For that matter—as I discovered only afterward—the archaeological park itself advises against walking on the particularly terrifying stretch between the entry to the catacombs of San Callisto and the catacombs of San Sebastiano. Instead, it is suggested that pedestrians follow the driveway that leads from the entry to San Callisto’s grounds to the catacombs proper themselves, running parallel to the Appia. This is a sensible alternative, especially if you intend to take the tour. If you simply must walk on that stretch of the Appia, do it on a Sunday, when the road is supposed to be closed to vehicles and the police make a reasonable attempt to enforce the ban.
There are three alternatives to walking those initial miles. First, and most expensive, you can take a taxi to, for example, the catacombs (except on Sunday). Archeobus provides another alternative, a system of open buses that circulate on a fixed route linking noteworthy ancient sites throughout Rome, including a couple of stops on the Appia: once you have your ticket, you can hop on and off ad lib all day—though if the Appia is your only goal, and you do not plan to hop on and off all day elsewhere in the city, this too is an expensive alternative.
The option I prefer entails an easy combination of Metro and bus (one low fare allows you to ride both): either the Metro B line to the Circo Massimo, followed by a #118 bus to a stop at the San Sebastiano catacombs, from which you can continue outbound safely on foot; or the Metro A line to Colli Albani, followed by a #660 bus to the Cecilia Metella stop, from which you can continue out or take a short walk back toward the catacombs.
Travelers for whom the word “park” suggests the state and national park systems of the United States, which offer various amenities for visitors should know that there are no comparable amenities in the archaeological park of the via Appia antica. Between the San Sebastiano and Cecilia Metella bus stops there are several private establishments—one very bad restaurant (on the right as you walk away from the city), one very good restaurant (L’Archeologia, on the left), and a small café at Cecilia Metella where bicycles can also be rented. But between Cecilia Metella and the tomb of Gallienus six Roman miles away, there are no facilities of any sort, beyond a small bar and restaurant attached to a tennis club on the via degli Eugenii, off the Appia about a mile and a half beyond Cecilia Metella. (A sign on the Appia says that the club is 100 meters away, a bold lie: it’s 600 meters.) If you plan to spend a day in the best part of the park, walking out from Cecilia Metella, see to the needs of nature before you start and pack a lunch with plenty of water.
South of Rome you will do more driving than walking, but of course there are a number of places you will want to explore on foot. Here is a baker’s dozen of must-stops, with their coordinates in parentheses so you can pinpoint them on Google Maps or “fly” to them on Google Earth.
Terracina: here the Appia grazes a “purgatory church” and the remains of the Roman Capitolium before entering the ancient forum (the central municipal plaza of today’s city), where it passes the cathedral of San Cesareo, which occupies the site of a temple of Rome and Augustus (41°17′30.64″N 13°14′55.77″E); high above the town, the ruins of the temple of Jupiter Anxur look out over the sea (41°17′26.73″N 13°15′34.38″E).
Parco Naturale dei Monti Aurunci, between Fondi and Itri(41°18′46.27″N 13°29′16.72″E).
Cicero’s tomb, Formia (41°15′05.61″N 13°34′42.99″E).
The amphitheater, Santa Maria Capua Vetere (41°05′09.25″N 14°15′00.33″E).
Trajan’s Arch, Benevento (41°07′56.89″N 14°46′44.86″E).
Ancient Venusia and the church of the Santissima Trinità, Venosa (40°58′08.14″N 15°49′38.82″E).
Gravina: The cathedral and the churches of Santa Maria del Suffragio and Saint Basil are all within a short walk of one another (40°49′06.41″N 16°24′49.39″E). Not on the Appia but worth a brief detour is the city of Altamura, nine miles away, which has a distinguished cathedral begun by Frederick II of Swabia and bread that is famous throughout Italy (40°49′38.88″N 16°33′11.34″E).
The archaeological museum, Taranto (40°28′23.26″N 17°14′21.42″E).
The harbor, Brindisi: The cathedral and the archaeological museum are also nearby, about a hundred yards from the waterfront (40°38′28.35″N 17°56′47.55″E).
Rent a car no larger than you absolutely require for yourself, any companions, and your luggage. We drove the Appia twice, the first time in a car that was too large, the second in one that was just right, and both scrapes in which we were involved on the first tour were largely attributable to the size of the auto (largely, but not entirely: see below).
Italian drivers are on average more aggressive than drivers in the United States (save in Massachusetts), and it is not for nothing that most traffic signals have a red light that is twice the diameter of the green. That said, their aggression rarely translates into real risk: they will, for example, seize on the slightest opening (sometimes, even, an imagined opening) to merge with a line of traffic, but I cannot recall a single instance of the high- speed tailgating that is common on American roads. (Perhaps the self-regard that causes an Italian driver to thrust himself ahead in line serves also to apply the brakes of self-preservation.) The rate of traffic fatalities in Italy, per 100,000 miles traveled, is significantly lower than it is in the United States.
You should acquire an International Driver’s Permit (IDP). Though you will probably have no need to use it (rental agencies certainly showed no interest in mine), the one occasion on which I did produce it was the exception that proved the rule and justified every one of the fifteen dollars it had cost. While driving just south of Minturno, I was waved over by a Guardia di Finanza offcer, who (I believe) had been alerted by radio from a patrol car that had spotted me passing in a no-passing zone. (What was that about? It’s a national sport!) But after determining that Italian was not my native language and looking over the IDP, the officer handed it back to me with a “Bene, grazie,” and waved us on our way.
Finally, if you have a GPS, either leave it at home or strictly limit yourself to using it to find a specific address (say, of a hotel) on entering one of the larger towns. Beyond that use, the only difficulties the device helped us out of were those it had led us into in the first place. There were two key problems. First, in a region where the quality of state and provincial roads can vary dramatically, the mapping software was insufficiently attentive to the character of the surface onto which it directed us, as one anecdote from our experience on the via Appia Traiana will illustrate. After being told by the robotic voice to “turn onto the unpaved roadway” for perhaps the sixth time in an afternoon, I brightened on seeing the name of the town we were trying to reach written on the roadblock meant to keep us off the road onto which we had just been sent; for her part, Laura didn’t so much brighten on seeing the roadblock as turn white. “Actually,” I chirped, about a half mile later, “this has to give us a much better idea of what travel was like in antiquity than anything we’ve done in the past few days”; this observation was greeted by a certain amount of hysterical laughter. But when a few minutes later I nearly burned out the clutch after stalling on a steep grade behind a tractor, I turned tail and fled, then wasted much of the afternoon trying to recover a drivable surface. Second, the software is understandably incapable of gauging the relation between a given vehicle’s size and the width of the street on which it is traveling, and streets in the historical centers of Italian towns, also understandably, were not built with the dimensions of modern vehicles in mind: hence our two scrapes. For the most part, the road system in southern Italy is not crowded with a confusing array of options, and you will do much better to use a set of decent road maps.
The best maps for tracing the ancient route of the Appia—as for locating any other feature of the ancient Mediterranean basin and its environs—are found in the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World (Princeton, 2000), one of the great recent achievements in ancient studies: the maps of central and southern Italy (maps 44 and 45, respectively) are well worth photocopying and carrying with you. The distinguished editor of the Barrington Atlas, Richard Talbert, has more recently written a book on the Tabula Peutingeriana—Rome’s World: The Peutinger Map Reconsidered (Cambridge, 2010)— and you can view the entire Tabula as a seamless whole, in color, on the website that supplements the book (select Map A at http://www.cambridge.org/us/talbert/).
For the modern road system, the Michelin maps for “Italie Centre” and “Italie Sud” are reasonably priced and certainly adequate, but I recommend instead (or in addition) the series of maps dedicated to Italy’s administrative provinces, from Lazio to Brindisi, which can be purchased easily online (just type “road maps Italy provinces” into Google, and you’ll find a vendor within a few clicks). These are easier to handle than the rather unwieldy Michelin maps and, more important, they’re drawn on a larger scale (1:250,000 vs. 1:400,000); the added detail is worth the expense. Note, in any case, that whereas any map you use will identify the roads you take by number (for example, SS7 = Strada statale 7), the signage on the ground rarely uses the number to identify a road or to indicate a choice between roads. Instead, signs use the names of towns, typically pointing you toward the next town located on a given road. In using a map, then, you need to look one move ahead, having in mind both where you are and the name of the next town in the direction you want to go.
I’ve already sung the praises of the people we met, for their kindness and goodwill, and I’ll do some more of that soon, but first I should note a regional peculiarity that you will encounter every day, one that I found puzzling and annoying, if finally a bit endearing. It concerns the interaction of people and euro notes. If you offer to pay a $12 tab with a $20 bill in a shop or eating place in the States, it will be taken as an obvious thing to do; in fact, if you try to pay a $2 tab with a $20 bill, you will be met by nothing more than the occasional, “Got anything smaller?” But try to pay a €12 tab with a €20 note in any establishment in southern Italy: looks of hurt and reproach as employees empty their own pockets in search of change, then perhaps a dash to the shop next door. As for €50 or €100 notes: please, be serious. One evening in Benevento, when I tried to pay for our €40-odd worth of dinner with a €100 note, the grandmotherly owner, with whom we’d been chatting on and off throughout the meal, recoiled and raised her hands in a defensive gesture, as though I’d drawn a weapon. But when we’d settled up and I put down the €5 note that is the conventional token of thanks for service above and beyond the cover charge, she quickly scooped it up and added it to a sheaf of notes, two inches thick, that she produced from her apron pocket. It was then that I decided, well, something’s happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear… Whatever the cause of this quirk, I mention it on the chance that doing so will save you from spending an outsized chunk of a morning as I did, waiting on line in a bank to get change for some larger denomination notes. When you buy your euros, insist on nothing larger than €20 bills.
Currency is a medium of exchange and so a form of language, complete with its inevitable opacities and mistaken signals. Even more obviously, language is a form of language. I’ve already had more than one occasion to refer to my very imperfect grasp of Italian, but what I’ve left mostly unremarked is the openhearted willingness of people to work with me in my struggles. It is a cliché to speak of the kindness of the Italian people, and another to say that if you make an effort, people will cut you a generous amount of slack; but clichés are often clichés because they are true. Though English is less commonly spoken in the south than in Rome and farther north, you will generally find enough in hotels and restaurants to get by— but you should also try to meet people halfway. If you know no Italian, take along a simple phrasebook: I assure you that you will not only manage but take pleasure in the interchanges besides. Every exchange that we had—if we set aside a few taxi drivers in and around Rome who were actual thieves—added to our enjoyment and, yes, confi rmed the clichés. Typical of these exchanges was our encounter with a young mother in Mirabella Eclano, whom we approached for directions after driving in circles for an hour looking for the site of ancient Aeclanum. She knew no English whatever, and she quickly gauged the limits of my Italian, but she shrugged, clapped her hands, and said, “Proviamo”—“Let’s try.” It came to nothing (we spent another hour driving in circles before stumbling on the site by chance), but that single verb remains one of my favorite memories of our travels.

The Portland Trailblazers play host to the Golden State Warriors at the Moda Center on Saturday night.
The Golden State Warriors have been in a bit of a funk lately as they’ve lost three of their last five games and they will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after falling to the Trailblazers in a 110-109 overtime loss on Thursday. Stephen Curry led the team with 29 pointss and seven assists, Kevin Durant added a triple-double of 26 points with 10 rebounds and 11 assists while Klay Thompson and Draymond Green each scored 15 points. As a team, the Warriors shot just 42 percent from the field and 13 of 44 from the 3-point line but when it really mattered most, it was the Trailblazers’ Damian Lillard who drained the clutch three to steal the game from the Warriors. With the loss, Golden State dropped to 23-13 on the season and 15-5 at home.
Meanwhile, the Portland Trailblazers have been in great form as they’ve won five of their last seven games and they will be feeling full of confidence after escaping Golden State with the road win in overtime. Jusuf Nurkic led the team in scoring with 27 points, 12 rebounds and four assists, CJ McCollum added 24 points but with the game on the line, it was Damian Lillard who drained the game-winning three to finish with 21 points and five assists. As a team, the Trailblazers shot just 36 percent from the field and 13 of 40 from the 3-point line. With the win, Portland improved to 20-15 on the season and 7-10 on the road.
Looking at the betting trends, the Warriors are 1-4 ATS in their last five games against a team with a winning record, 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following a loss and 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall. The Trailblazers are 28-12 ATS in their last 40 home games, 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games against a team above .600 and 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games overall.
Head to head, the over is 13-3 in the last 16 meetings in Portland and the Warriors are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings.
The Trailblazers have been on a nice run over their last seven games and their confidence must be sky high after taking down the defending champs on the road on Thursday to level the season series at 1-1. The Warriors are far and away the more talented team in this matchup but they haven’t looked like themselves lately and it’s starting to cost them games. The Warriors could easily snap out of it and win this one by double digits, but the Trailblazers are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and I think that trend continues as they pull off the upset.

Many people claim to be Born Again but obviously they are not Children of God because they are SINNERS.
We read in 1 John 3:9 "No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God."
If you are a Born Again Child of God you do not sin, you are like your Father, you do as Jesus did. He did not sin while walking on this earth. He showed us the way, He gave us the example of how to live and He told us what do do.
Jesus did not leave us to our own devices, He did not write a manual. He instructed His disciples, who recorded many of His words in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. He also gives His Holy Spirit to be in and with those who accept and obey Him, those who wish to follow Him, who repent and are baptized in water, as He commanded. The Holy Spirit will remind them of the words that Jesus taught, will teach and guide them in all truth and will reveal to them things to come.
A Born Again Child of God lives like Jesus. He follows the guidance of the Holy Spirit and DOES NOT practice sin.
If a believer is still a sinner, he is not born again, he is not a child of God, as we read in 1 John 3:4-10 "4Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. 5You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin. 6No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. 7Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; 8the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. 9No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother."
Have you been Born Again? Have you repented and been baptized in water? Have you received the baptism in the Holy Spirit and are you following His guidance? Have you stopped practicing sin and are you bearing fruit for the kingdom of God?. Is it obvious from your fruit, whether you are a child of God or not.

Search engine optimization, or SEO, is essential for your online business because it directs visitors to your site. Search engine optimization is the natural search results which are shown on the search engines results pages and appear given that they are connected to the search inquiry.
Keywords are the phrases and words that an internet user writes into a search engine to look up information.
Keywords that are input within appropriately written and regularly published content are the most effective method to get the best search engine results. On the whole, keywords should be used in your content so that it reads and flows naturally. Don’t force keywords onto web pages for the search engine robots to find. If your text doesn’t read well in normal language, you may well have put in way too many keywords and your website page might be disregarded by the search engines.
Place key phrases in your webpage headings and titles. These headings, or tags, are known as H1 to H6 tags. The H1 tag is your principal subject heading or title of the page. The H6 is the lowest heading. Each page should ideally have at the very least a H1, H2 and H3 heading, all including a suitable keyword. Consider the words and phrases in your headings as search engines use them as signs to the subject matter of the page.
Even though search engines can’t ‘read’ images on your website, they can read the descriptions that you give to them. An ‘alt image tag’ is the phrase that a website visitor reads when they put their computer mouse on an image, and that phrase is also seen by the search engine. The alternative image text is an excellent place to put in keywords.
The number one reason for effective search engine optimization is to obtain search engine rankings that internet users actually click on. If the information on a search result does not make somebody click on it, then your SEO hasn’t really done what it’s intended to do, even if you’re on the first page of a search on Google.

I’m very excited to start the first of my house tours 2016 with this gorgeous studio that was originally a mechanical workshop. Industrial spaces are a favourite of mine.
This white and concrete loft in Eindhoven was simply stunning and so was this beautiful family warehouse in Amsterdam so I hope you’ll enjoy this one too.
This is the Stockholm studio of Sarah N Bergman, a children book Illustrator who is also Stylist for Love Warriors, a Swedish brand I have long loved for its ethnic home collection and iconic photos often shot by Hannah Lemholt.
The first detail I loved in Sarah’s studio, was this industrial locker covered with inspiring black and white photos. Such an inspiring mood board, don’t you think?
If you are in the US, Chairish has a decent collection of vintage industrial lockers. If you’re in Europe, your best bet is to scour second-hand shops and flea markets. Paris has some amazing flea markets (marché aux puces) and I love going to the annual La Grande Braderie de Lille, which is always on the first weekend of September (03 & 04/09/2016 this year). It’s a great spot to source vintage goodies but you really need book your hotel well in advance.
Another styling tip to take from this house tour is how Sarah stored her books with the spines facing. I did the same in my sister’s flat in Paris to avoid colour clashes with her all-white interior. It works if you have a few books in the house and not a while library wall obviously.
In this Swedish flat with white floorboards, some of the books were just piled on the floor… The Kant copper light, the Aston pendant light and Freja copper light are all great alternatives to achieve the industrial look above. Last year, we fitted a lot of the Aston pendant lights in various commercial venues and recently dispatched 50 of these black wall lights to a new project in London.
I couldn’t find a table similar to the one above but I thought this industrial coffee table from MADE.COM was looking great. Alternatively, the clean lines of this Kaeko coffee table would make a great, contemporary addition.
The shop has a great collection of marble chopping boards and you can find large, round trays like the ones below on Amara. I’m loving this round white and silver tray. I love how Sarah kept the hues in her studio monochrome and natural. It’s very calming, welcoming and it feels very homely which is a nice feeling to have for a workspace.
The two storage units are the ones called Alex from Ikea and they are great to store art prints. The kitchen units are from Ikea too.
You will find similar textured rugs on BODIE and FOU, West Elm (which is currently running a 20% OFF its rug collection), Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters. What was your favourite detail in this studio and if you could describe your ideal workspace, what would it look like?
Nice feature! I’d love to see different houses, have advice on how to decorate unusual or challenging spaces – with low ceilings, in the attic, with narrow corridors, small windows. We don’t see enough of this in deco magazines or blogs which is not reflecting most people’s reality.
It’s raw, it’s rough, it’s great!
Wow, I liked every picture. I am in my fifties and still trying to discover,how to get the look I want ! Sad I know but I will get there in the meantime I am enjoying the journey . So I agree with Lola. As well ,small spaces,how people make dark spaces (not a lot of light ) appear brighter.
We’ve just spotted this post and LOVE everything about it! Everything!

If we speak about the last year concerning UX trends, such words come up in our minds as Artificial Intelligence, more intelligent personalization, and also Virtual Reality. What is more, it is worth mentioning the well-known word “Bitcoin”. Besides, UX trends of 2017 included minimalism regarding layouts. No matter where you looked, you could see the pixel-perfect illustrations in combination with videos. Additionally, the last year’s animations were quite well-done and functional. If we mention gradients, it is possible to say they were popular.
What were the last year’s trends?
However, this year there are other UX best practices.
This kind of interface supports the idea of unification. Meaning, all the content should be put on the one page. There are not any transitions if the user clicks on it. Thanks to this, the user stays only on the main page. This is because there is no need to leave this page because all the information is present on this page.
This trend is quite useful. Especially, it is a good idea for such websites that are loading very slowly when the user is making transitions on the website. Consequently, this trend will help not only to save time but also leaves the user happy with the service of the website.
One of the top UX design trends is Gradient transitions. Today, Gradients are utilized to help connect the audience with the product by making a channel between the bold product and the potential customer. When the user is attracted by the transition of one shade or hue or another, they are being intrigued. As a result, the audience is becoming interested in the product more and more.
Hence, Gradient transitions are a very powerful UX trend of 2019. It is possible to conclude that it can be staying popular for a long time because it is very useful and effective.
The future of UX design is all about quality content plus visual elements. It means that all the distracting factors will be removed, and only engaging content with great imagery will remain. Consequently, it is possible to assume that the most important element of the website is content, but not a design. Meaning, the design depends on the content. So all the irrelevant element of the website in 2019 will be removed, keeping the reader focused on the content. Therefore, it is good news for those users who like minimalism, which has been a trend of 2017, to sum up.
One of the trends to follow in 2019 is a greater role of voice user interfaces. Nowadays voice interactions have become a common thing. For instance, they are used when you need to hear some news, get some translations, or look for some entertainment. Also, some banks already offer the possibility to use their service with a help of voice user interfaces. Besides, if you need timers, reminders, notifications about the weather, calendars, home automation, and more, you may utilize such an interface. It is becoming more and more popular nowadays and is expected to remain a UX trend even in 2020.
Feature images are becoming an essential element of many websites. This is because their presence leaves a sense of human touch, making the content personal. Therefore, reading an article on the website, the user will think that he or she gets the information from a real human who stands behind the story.
All in all, such illustrations appeal to a human factor and make the user trust more to the writer of those texts, making the website seem more trustworthy.
Relaxing colors are very useful in the UX design in 2019. They have to be soothing in order to prevent the user from stress and make them calm down. This is a very important thing to do because more and more people are undergoing stress at work. Often, in order to escape from reality and read something engaging, they surf the net, visiting the websites. Therefore, this should be taken into account when creating a website. All in all, a website of 2019 should be comfortable to glance over. Consequently, soothing colors are a must trend of the near future.
Summing up, the fact that people are becoming more and more connected with electronics in everyday life, still, they remain humans, not robots. Therefore, the latest trends producers of 2019 take it into consideration when creating new websites.
Top UX design trends suppose website should be more human-like. Meaning, despite the fact we are stepping more and more into the era of total computerization, UX design should still take into account a human factor. The latest trends are all about comfort and usability, making the life of the average user easier.

is there a way to ignore the HUD of the game so that they're not affected by the effects?
I only want to change the game's 3D render itself but the HUD should stay the same.
I know that HialgoSwitch/Boost has something like that, it only upscales the 3D render and the 2D parts aren't affected.

Credit Bubble Stocks: Who Is Buying Genco?
Genco (GNK) has retraced almost the entire decline since skipping its interest payment on unsecured notes. There's a 30 day grace period on the notes, so something is going to happen in about a week. It's too late to do an exchange offer and the notes are trading at 63, flat, so they are the fulcrum security. I would guess that the company will file Chapter 11 before the expiration of the grace period on the notes. Meanwhile, retail is excited about shipping stocks including Genco.
FYI: there is an article in today's FT you should read, CP: "Banks are a proxy for credit bubble fears."
Anyway they could get an extension on the grace period?
They could be sued by minority bondholders as soon as the grace period expires.
The Company did not make the scheduled semi-annual interest payment of approximately $3.1 million (the "Interest Payment") due on February 18, 2014 (the "Payment Date") under the Notes. However, under the terms of the Indenture, a failure to pay interest on the Payment Date does not constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture) unless such failure continues for a period of 30 days (the "Grace Period").
"The limitations on suits set forth in clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 6.06 shall not apply to actions instituted by a Holder for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest amounts on any Security on or after the applicable due date or the right to convert any Security in accordance with the Indenture."

Lowbrow Customs has been supplying motorcycle parts, accessories and riding gear to motorcycle enthusiasts world-wide since 2004. From chopper gas tanks to custom Sportster fenders, hundreds of fabricator parts, Biltwell, Bell and Simpson helmets and shop tee-shirts from the coolest bike shops and builders in the world, Lowbrow has become the de-facto source for the cool motorcycle products you crave. 5,000+ parts in stock, ships today, world-wide. Fitment guaranteed, no re-stock fees, free motorcycle technical support and our World Famous Customer Service all come stock with your order!
Lowbrow Customs' Tsunami Fenders are made to bolt directly to your Harley-Davidson Sportster from 1994 - 2016. However, for those of you wishing to run a Tsunami Fender on your 1982 - 1993 H-D Sportster it can be done with just a little bit of effort. Some tools you will need to complete this simple fab job: scribe or fine sharpie / pencil, drill & drill bits, grinder with a cut-off wheel or a hacksaw and some sand paper.
This 1993 Harley-Davidson Sportster with the modified Tsunami Fender mounted and painted.
The Gasbox 86-03 Frisco Style Gas Tank Lift Kit and Pleated Sporty Solo Seat help complete the new stance offered up to this custom Sportster with the help of the Tsunami Fender.
Using the 1994-2003 Tsunami Fender on this 1993 Sportster, the only bolt hole that lines up is the center hole that is located under the seat. Once you have removed your stock fender, use the stock nut and bolt from your motorcycle to bolt the Tsunami Fender in place.
Once you have the fender held in place with the center bolt you can see how the fender lines up to the fender struts. Ensuring you have plenty of clearance between the tire and fender, mark where you will need to drill the new mounting holes in your Tsunami Fender. This can be done by scribing the fender with a sharp scribe through the fender strut holes, or a pencil or pen. Remove the fender, center punch the holes (you can do this using a hammer and punch to mark the center of each hole you will be drilling) to ensure your drill bit doesn't wander and drill them to size for your mounting hardware. You can then bolt the fender fully in place.
Once the fender is bolted securely in place, trace along the fender strut to mark where to cut off any excess material on the fender. This can be done with an angle grinder with a cut off wheel, or if need be you can even use a hacksaw to cut the aluminum pretty quickly. You can also trim your fender struts shorter to remove the excess length if you are not using the stock turn signals location, further cleaning up the rear mounting area. Use the sand paper or a sandpaper flap disk on your grinder to smooth out any rough edges and clean up the radius where you trimmed the fender. That's it! Paired with a few other Sportster chopper parts your bike can go from stock to custom in an afternoon and without breaking the bank.
The Rogue Fender from Lowbrow Customs is a heavy-gauge, steel fender that is bolt-on fitment to 1958 - 1984 Harley-Davidson Big Twins using the included chrome plated fender struts and mounting hardware. Instead of the typical choice to run a stock rear fender or a repop stock rear fender, you can now add some custom style to your moto with ease. Whether a mild custom, chopper or race-inspired performance machine, the Rogue Fender looks right at home while standing up to the rigors of the road.
Note: Make sure you have proper tire-to-fender clearance. When you are not sitting on the bike you should have about 4" between the tire and fender.
Step 1 - Remove stock fender.
Step 2 - Install new fender struts on the inside of the frame with recessed side facing in as shown in picture above.
Step 5 - To install the fender, place under the struts on the tire and bring it up instead of forcing it down into the struts.

Lowbrow Customs WX Gas Tanks were influenced by the MoCo's WR factory race bike gas tanks. The beauty of the Lowbrow WX Gas Tanks are that with the included, innovative rear mount they will bolt right up to your stock Big Twin frame 1936 - 1984. Get a custom, narrowed look with a tight gap between the tanks, no fabrication required, these are the perfect tanks for a custom Shovelhead or Panhead. WX Gas Tanks have a capacity of 2.25 gallons and feature both a vent and fuel crossover and accept a 22mm petcock, and accept standard cam-style gas caps.
Tools Needed for this job.
Step 2 - Insert bolt through top front tab and into cast lug on frame backbone to hold one side of WX Tank in place.
Step 3 - Attach 1/4â€ inside diameter fuel line to crossover fitting on right tank, install hose clamp and fully tighten. Add an additional hose clamp loosely for the other fitting on the left tank. Push the fuel line into place on vent fitting of left tank when installing right tank. Put flat washer and nylock nut on top tank tab bolt and do not fully tighten.
Step 4 - Align the two rear tabs. The tab on the left tank should be behind of the right tank tab. Attach the WX Tanks with the supplied allen head bolt to the rear end of the T-mount using 5/16 allen wrench or socket.
Step 5 - The front lower tabs on the tanks attach to the stock frame tab on either side. Install and fully tighten the bolt and nylock nut. Fully tighten top through bolt and all bolts to rear T-mount.
Step 6 - Use a length of 1/4â€ inside diameter fuel line and two hose clamps to connect the fuel crossover fittings. Tighten clamps. Also tighten left tank hose clamp on the upper vent crossover line from Step 3.
Step 7 - Install 22mm petcock. To ensure proper clearance, use stock top motor mount or Gasbox heavy-duty Top Motor Mount.

The map shows 58 lakes, bayous and other waterways where contaminated fish have been caught, the bottom is too polluted for safe swimming, or both. Those areas also are clickable, but are approximations — adjacent areas of dark and light blue aren't boundaries, Department of Environmental Quality scientist Al Hindrichs said in an email Friday. For instance, the state says nobody should eat any fish from Capitol Lake in Baton Rouge, while in the Upper Calcasieu Estuary, only crab fat is on the do-not-eat list. For 83 miles along the Tensas River, the advisory states only, "Long-term fish consumption may cause health risk." Most people are advised against eating more than a total of four 8-ounce servings a month of fish caught in state waters, except for king mackerel. At Capitol Lake, it's the manmade chemicals called PCBs . +2 Those are actually exceptions of a sort: nine advisories are for organic compounds of one type or another, while the other 49, including the Gulf waters, are for mercury, Hindrichs said. The Gulf advisory is most likely because the fish are "highly predatory," not because there's more mercury in the ocean, Hindrichs said in an email. Two others — one for Devil's Swamp, Devil's Swamp Lake and Bayou Baton Rouge, and one for Bayou d'Inde and parts of the Calcasieu Ship Channel — advise against both eating fish and swimming or touching sediments. "Do not eat fish or crawfish from this area," reads the advisory for Devil's Swamp and related areas.

If you want to learn about Tron price prediction, you’re in the right place.
Whether you’re a long-term investor or a short-term or position trader, this article is for you. I will analyze the price and come up with a plan of action that has the best odds of happening. More than that, this article gets updated on a weekly basis so feel free to come back once a week for a new market analysis.
I’m going to analyse the historical price of Tron and cross-validate it with the current market conditions to draw plausible conclusions on the future price.
Whether you’re a short-term or long-term investor or trader, it doesn’t matter — I cover both scenarios and tailor this guide to suit most people interested in investing some money in Tron.
Apart from the technical analysis, I will be looking into the fundamental aspects of the coin, too.
This will include a closer look at the team involved in developing Tron and the general outlook in terms of the market sentiment.
In order to pinpoint any possible price reversals, taking a look at the macro picture is a must.
As of recently, the crypto market had been in a drastic decline and things don’t look promising at all.
On the weekly chart above, the last three candles are red and each is longer than the previous one.
If you take a look at the volume associated with these candles, each volume bar is larger which means that the volume is expanding.
An expanding volume in a bear market is a sign of strength and the price is expected to continue in the downward direction.
Since we are looking for a possible reversal, ideally we would be looking for a stopping volume—each next volume bar is getting smaller.
But that’s not the case here and the last green candle that is being formed this week doesn’t tell us anything as it’s still in the marking.
Taking all of the above into account, we are unable to draw any sensible conclusions until we see the first signs of stopping volume and/or a bearish divergence where the price is falling on a contracting volume.
As you can see, by analysing a simple weekly chart you have developed a basic but sound strategy.
And this strategy is to wait out the period of uncertainty if you’re only looking to go long on Tron.
If you’re a trader, however, you might want to consider going short upon the next pullback which you could use as a valid entry point for your short position. At the moment, it will be rather tricky to go short as the market seems to be in a free fall which projects no viable pullbacks to be used as such.
Since we’ve just analyzed the macro picture on the weekly chart, it would be beneficial to take a look at a smaller frame.
The daily chart confirms our findings from the weekly one.
The volume is still expanding and the last two candles, even though black, are posing a bullish divergence.
A bullish divergence occurs when the price goes in the opposite direction to the volume—volume bars are getting smaller, but the price is rising.
That’s a sign of weakness and a further decline is in the offing. Although, the last black price candle is still being formed and hasn’t closed yet, so keep an eye on the volume bar from today to forecast any possible reversals.
The support becomes resistance when the price breaks a support level below.
Remember that every support could act as resistance and vice versa. It depends on what side of the line the price is to determine that.
In the chart above, if you were looking to short Tron, the resistance line (r1) would be an ideal point of entry as long as one condition is met: price divergence on the way up to r1 (decreasing volume whilst the price is climbing).
That would be a sign of weakness which should make it extra tough for the price to break above the r1 and hence the short entry.
As of today though, I would not recommend going short for one reason: we don’t know where the bottom is.
And without a clearly defined target, you will be in the dark.
You could try, however, moving down your stop order to prevent possible losses had the price was to pull back before continuing in the same direction. It’s harder to execute properly than it might look and I’d advise against it at this moment in time.
The easiest way to buy Tron is to head to a cryptocurrency exchange such as Coinbase, buy some Bitcoins (BTC), send them over to Binance and exchange it for TRX.
Alternatively, you could make a deposit on Binance and then buy BTC directly on the platform and then exchange it for Tron. This way, however, is going to take a bit longer due to the verification process that will require you to comply with the AML/KYC guidelines.
You can trade Tron on any cryptocurrency exchange if you buy for less and sell for more and call it trading.
If you want the real deal, you must register at BitMex where you could actually apply leverage to your positions.
Just be careful and make sure you understand how to use it.
In order to maximize the accuracy of the prediction, you have to revert to the historical chart data.
It’s absolutely necessary you carry out this step as this will make the analysis much simplier. For example, knowing where the all-time high and the most recent bottom exists will determine key support and resistance areas.
Once you’re equipped with that knowledge, you need to correlate that data to today’s market conditions.
It will allow you to come up with reasonable conclusions and give you an idea on where the price is most likely to go in the future.
There’s really not much more to it. And this is exactly what I’m discussing here today with regards to Tron.
As of today, I’m unable to do any valid price prediction for Tron and you should take extra precautions to invest or trade the market yourself.
It’s an extremely grey area at the moment and no clear signs of plausible trades are present.

That sentiment expressed by an appreciative fan in a comment on Facebook aptly describes the debut self-titled album released on May 20, 2016, by the dynamic emerging band, Karma Darwin.
Thanks to an introduction from Thom Ianniccari, a fervent supporter and nurturer of blossoming musical talent in New York’s Westchester County and the Hudson Valley region, the four members of the band recently appeared on Alive with Clive to perform eight of the 18 songs from their album, which took 2 1/2 years to complete from the time the band was formed in 2013.
4. Ryan Lowry — drums.
The result is most definitely an appealing heart-thumping listening experience that leaves listeners invigorated!
Though still a relatively young band, they’ve already notched impressive achievements — including being the winner of the Battle of the Bands at Garcia’s at the Capitol in 2015 and the Headline Band on the Party Stage at the Pleasantville Music Festival in 2016.
In addition, at a time when the President of the United States has withdrawn the United States from participation in the Paris Climate Accord, through its name and its songs Karma Darwin is sending us subtle yet earnest subliminal reminders that we need to wake up and take care of Mother Earth to stave off extinction.
You will definitely enjoy discovering, connecting with and being inspired by Drew, A.P., Nooge and Ryan from Karma Darwin in the band’s 1st Show and 2nd Show on Alive with Clive!

Intermarine, a Brazilian shipyard leader in luxury yachts , has presented its new Intermarine 60. Following the style adopted for the new Intermarine range, it brings innovations not only in design but also in the interior and is one of the few yachts in this category featuring three suites.
The new model will be sailing in the first semester of 2011. With 60 feet in total length, the New Intermarine 60 is a yacht created to enjoy the sea with a lot of sophistication and comfort.
Designed by Intermarine, with collaboration of the studio Fernando de Almeida Yacht Design which signs the interior of the yacht, it has lines that combine elegance and boldness, and the large saloon windows, by its dynamic format, bring the sensation of movement.
The windows of the broadside, as well as the New Intermarine 55, have an innovating trapezoid format and all the portholes are inserted inside of these glazed structures. Apart from introducing much more light and beauty to the inside area, these new windows present a new design trend.
The interior of the yacht brings as a distinguishing feature the refinement and the excellent use of spaces with furniture of straight lines. The New Intermarine 60 has three wide and comfortable suites, the main one located amidships, plus the crew cabin. It accommodates six people and two crew members perfectly.
The luxurious yacht also satisfies those who appreciate the art of gastronomy, with a galley integrated to the lounge area and a gourmet area in the cockpit. The design of the New Intermarine 60 unites the beauty of organic forms found in larger models of Intermarine’s new range to the boldness of the innovating windows of the broadside, resulting in an impressive and attractive yacht. The flybridge arch brings even more personality to the model.
The large swim platform is equipped with hydraulic lift and allows hoisting easily a tender or jet ski, apart from being a leisure area by the water. The cockpit is ideal for use during hot climate and offers plenty of space and comfort to its occupants. It has sofa, dining table, cooler, storage compartments and a functional and elegant gourmet area, in which are located the sink, the grill and space for food preparation. The bow is quite spacious and comfortable, with large solarium.
The flybridge has an innovative arrangement, with excellent use of spaces. It has a helm station with seats for two people, solarium, a large sofa with dining table, plus a solarium in the rear at the same level of the sofa, and furniture with sink, refrigerator and space for a grill.
On the main deck, the saloon is divided into living room, galley, diningroom and helm station. The living area has two spacious sofas, the largest in U format, to port. The galley, also to port, integrated into the saloon, is complete. To starboard,the helm station is in front of the dining table. In the lower deck, the master suite occupies the entire width of the yacht and besides the bathroom with closed box, there is a queen-size bed and dinette. Large windows with sea views complement the environment with natural light and beauty.
The VIP suite in the bow also offers a lot of comfort to a couple, with queen-size bed, large windows and bathroom. The guest suite, located on the starboard side, has two twin beds that be converted to a double bed, through a sliding mechanism. It also has bathroom and large windows with view to the sea. Other unique features of New Intermarine 60 are the three bathrooms of the yacht. Spacious and carefully planned, all have separate shower box, which makes them even more practical and functional. The crew cabin accommodates two crew members and has a private bathroom.
The excellent performance of New Intermarine 60 is guaranteed by two engines of 900 hp each. The maximum speed is 33 knots and the cruise speed is 28 knots all in all a full complete package for this superb 60 foot sports cruiser.
Great to see sports cruisers of this calibre coming out of South America, good competition for all the other markets, will be interesting to see if the new range does well outside of the US markets too.

Poetry. Drama. Winner of the Dorset Prize, selected by Robert Pinsky. The poems in Mario Chard's first collection follow three entangled strands — a contemporary immigrant story, echoes of the Fall in Paradise Lost, and meditations on fatherhood in the shadow of Abraham's command to sacrifice a son. The poet speaks from the American hemisphere, immersed in histories of loss from long before Magellan first glimpsed his tierra del fuego. This LAND OF FIRE is close at hand though we try and insist upon its distance, like the sun, like Milton's Pandemonium, like the wars outside our borders or within.
Mario Chard was born in northern Utah, the son of an Argentine immigrant mother and an American father. Recent poems have appeared in the The New Yorker, Boston Review, Beloit Poetry Journal, FIELD, and Image. Winner of the "Discovery" / Boston Review Poetry Prize and a former Wallace Stegner Fellow in Poetry at Stanford University, he currently teaches in Atlanta, Georgia, where he lives with his wife and sons.

Q.1:- How does democracy produce an accountable, responsive and legitimate government?
Democracy Produces an Accountable Government Democracy produces an accountable governments, as the people has the right in choose their representatives through the electoral process. These elected representatives form the government and participate in the decision making process on behalf of the people. If these elected representatives (In not work in a proper way, people have a chance to not elect them in next election.
Democracy Produces Responsive Government Democratic governments are elected by the people and are responsible towards the people and Parliament. These governments promote the formation of public opinion and take care of the needs and expectations of the people.
Democracy Produces Legitimate Government Democratic government is a legitimate government because regular elections are its key feature. After five years, elections are held for the legislature and people elect then government on the basis of their right to vote (universal adult franchise) The party which secures the majority forms the government. In the next election, if it loses the majority, it has to resign from office. Beside elections, the decisions in a democratic government are taken in a transparent manner.

(Exeter, Maine) In late December, the anaerobic digestion (AD) facility at Stonyvale Farm in Exeter marked its first full year in operation, and operators of the cutting edge technology say production data confirm the project is a solid success.
Maine people, Maine educations, Maine farms, Maine jobs.
In the future, as a result, Maine could reap significant benefits in renewable energy, cleaner watersheds near dairy farms, landfill conservation, reduced methane pollution of the atmosphere and economic development that stabilizes and sustains family farms.
Wintle said the Maine project is the only one of its kind in New England that “co-digests” manure and food waste on a large scale. That presents Maine with a future opportunity to divert large amounts of food waste away from landfills and into energy production. He said the project has already created three full times jobs, and has allowed his family to begin considering future expansion of energy production and farm-associated ventures.
Andrew Landry, an attorney with Preti Flaherty in Augusta who advises the project on regulatory matters, said his firm’s research confirms that the Maine-grown innovation in Exeter is among the best in the biogas industry.
Exeter Agri-Energy is a renewable energy company that converts animal and food waste into heat and electricity, and other environmentally responsible products. The anaerobic co-digestion system it built in 2011 is the most advanced and versatile of its kind in New England. For more information about the company, visit: www.ExeterAgriEnergy.com.


text: Ah, Fiasco. While not one of the first narrative games or one of the most unique, Fiasco captured the hearts of players because it accomplishes what it sets out to do so well. A game of characters with powerful ambition and poor impulse control, Fiasco takes the recipe set out by its predecessors like Primetime Adventures and distills it to one zany formula, bearing more than a passing resemblance to a Coen Brothers movie. Requiring only a few six-sided dice and one key decision point, Fiasco is a sweet and simple narrative game that can do no wrong.

I don’t even know the name of the kindest woman I have met in a long time.
Zurich is a tale of two cities. It is the modern banking center portrayed in books and articles. It is also a baffling medieval town that feels more like a rabbit warren than a modern, hip city.
We assumed that cryptic instruction meant we could follow the street straight ahead of us and find our dinner. Not so much. We went straight, then we turned and we turned again. My wife and I are not afraid of asking directions. Asking does not guarantee anybody will care, or know what we were asking. The language barrier made it difficult, but most people gave us the “I can’t be bothered” shrug. The English speakers who bothered to listen to our plea seemed to know less about Old Town than we did.
Then we stopped a woman who was walking fast and with purpose. She struck us as a knowledgeable resident. We were wrong. She did not know the restaurant we were seeking.Yet, she didn’t blow us off. She concentrated, furrowed her brow and finally said, in halting English,”No, I just don’t know.” She then continued on her way. After about 15 steps, she stopped and turned back toward us. By then she had pulled out her phone and she had apparently made a mental commitment to help us.
I’d like to think the kindness fairy or our guardian angel tapped her on the shoulder. More likely, her innate goodness took over and she decided she was not in as much of a hurry as she thought she was. Her phone, however, did not equal our immediate rescue. The directions she found were confusing. She decided they were far too difficult to explain. Thankfully, she did not try.
With her phone in hand and incredible kindness to strangers in her heart, the woman, who probably had a score of things to do that early evening, guided us gently through the nooks and crannies of Zurich’s old town. The walk was probably only five minutes. If we had been left on our own it might have taken five hours.
We reached the front door of the restaurant and the woman flashed a smile of triumph as if she had just climbed Mt. Pilatus. We thanked her profusely and her smile confirmed she was incredibly pleased she could help. She walked away with a bounce in her step and a smile on her face. Kindness made her feel good and rescued our evening.
We will never see her again, but I won’t forget her.
I suppose it is a harmless expression of frustration, but it really bugs me. That’s really a self-destructive attitude and it’s mighty selfish. You did a nice thing and now you expect a parade? Good luck.
My late dad actually taught me that years ago. He would tell my mom and the kids, “do the nice thing but don’t sit around waiting for thank yous.” My dad wasn’t a great philosopher but every now and then he absolutely nailed it. When we get upset because somebody wasn’t grateful enough we give them control over our happiness and our goodness. And, your motive for being nice gets thrown into question too.
For me there is a tangible joy I get from doing the nice thing. Oh sure, I enjoy a hearty thank you and occasionally some recognition for the nice things I do, but I am working hard on not needing that. More and more I try to do silent acts of kindness.
Four or five times a week I have been buying coffee for the car behind me at the drive-thru Starbucks. Just because. It’s only a few bucks and I often jokingly tell the barista, “I need the good karma!” I make it a point not to linger or look back, to be sure I don’t do it for the acknowledgement.
It is nice when it comes. The other day I bought a $2.27 coffee for a guy. He apparently violated a speed limit or two because he caught up with me and hoisted his cup in a happy, appreciative, toast.
I thought little of it until I got to my office. I was a good 20 feet from the door when an exiting student stopped and held the door for me for several seconds. He went way out of his way to do the kind thing. Karma?
I didn’t know the young man. He had no duty to do the right thing. He didn’t hold that door for the thank you. He held the door because it was a nice thing.
As I walked away from that encounter with a little glow, I could not help but think about all the anger we see in the world and wonder if being nice could help.
Perhaps we all need more good karma. Maybe we can find it by doing the nice thing and not getting pissed when people don’t bow down before us in gratitude.
My new wife, Candace Hadley McGuire, is smart and deeply compassionate. She amazes me with her concern for other people. But she also articulates her concern beautifully.
If I had a nickel for every time she tells me “love is a verb,” I would have a damn big jar full of nickels. Her powerful point is that love without action, love without good deeds or love without solving a problem is hollow.
It is easy to say I am in love with you, but it is far more difficult to say I love you and my behavior will prove it.
Pope Francis’ visit to the United States last week prompted me to think of Candace’s words. The Pope doesn’t spout theoretical puffery about love, he goes to lunch with the homeless. He hugs immigrants and pays special attention to children. He makes love a verb and many Americans are stumped by his behavior. One Fox News commentator said he’s “tired” of the Pope and suggested he is in the wrong country.
Perhaps the Pope doesn’t have American values and, sadly, that may be a good thing. This media obsession with whether the Pope is liberal or conservative is absolutely silly. He is a man of faith who believes that rules and prescriptions don’t create love, actions do.
Rather than attempting to categorize the Pope as liberal or conservative, Americans should be listening and watching Francis love. The truth is that in our me-obsessed, Ayn Rand believing, selfish society, it does seem radical to actively love everyone. Americans keep insisting we are a Christian nation, but too often we hate people who are different than us and we care little for those who have less than we do. The rhetoric from some Presidential candidates is terrifically anti-Christian. That Sermon on the Mount thing from Jesus should guide us to love and care.
If we truly let Pope Francis show us that love is a verb, this country would look different. It might actually look like a country concerned about something bigger than self-interest.

Receiving property you know was stolen, regardless of whether or not you pay for it, is considered a crime by the state of Nevada. This means you can be convicted of a theft crime even if you did not actually steal anything yourself. Receiving stolen property is covered by Nevada law under code NRS 205.272, which states that “A person commits an offense involving stolen property if the person, for his or her own gain, or to prevent the owner from again possessing the owner’s property, buys, receives, possesses or withholds property."
If you are accused of possessing property that was stolen, it is strongly advised that you seek legal representation to defend yourself as soon as possible. The Law Offices of Kenneth A. Stover have defended numerous clients against a multitude of theft crimes. Our experienced Reno criminal defense lawyer has helped clients in over 70 courts all across the state of Nevada, and may be able to help you fight back against your charges.
Don’t hesitate to begin mounting your criminal defense. Call the Law Offices of Kenneth A. Stover at (775) 502-1575 today.
This is just one common defense to accusations of possessing stolen property. Nevada law says that if you were not aware and had no reason to be aware that the property in question was stolen, then no crime was committed. Likewise you cannot possibly commit the crime if you never actually possess the property in question. If you never actually obtain control over whatever was stolen, your charges will likely be dropped.
This level of stolen property possession is a misdemeanor in Nevada, however increased property values or any aggravating factors can result in the crime being upgraded to a felony. If the value of the property is over $3,500, you could be facing up to ten years in prison and fines of up to $10,000. Additionally, if you are in the country on a temporary visa, possession of stolen property could result in possible deportation if you are convicted.
Take action now. Contact the Reno theft crime attorney at the Law Offices of Kenneth A. Stover today to schedule a free consultation.

While often thought of as a pedestrian vegetable, cabbage is actually a favourite of mine. Versatile, high-yielding (and nice and cheap), it’s the star of this winning side dish.
I love this dish when I’m craving that mouthwatering sweet and sour flavour but also want a good dose of veges. Try serving it with my Sticky Honey, Orange and Sesame Chicken Drumsticks or some roasted pork chops for an easy weeknight meal. If you love red cabbage like me, try this delicious Crunchy Asian Slaw too.
You can find raspberry vinegar in gourmet supermarkets, or substitute for any fruity vinegar you have.
Heat the butter in a medium saucepan and sauté the red cabbage and onion for 2 minutes until just starting to wilt. Then add the vinegar and cook for 2 minutes, stirring, until evenly bright pink.
Add the apple cider, brown sugar, star anise, cinnamon and the piece of orange peel studded with the cloves. Cover the pan and simmer for 20-25 minutes until tender. Season with cracked pepper and salt if needed.
