TED FURMAN’S goal in the 47th minute blasted Ballymun into their first
Leinster club football final since 1982 in Newbridge yesterday.
The Dublin champions had to weather a downpour of rain as well as a
second-half Sarsfields onslaught along the way.
But — on their own Newbridge patch — the Kildare side sank under the weight of
their own wastefulness that saw them clock up FIFTEEN wides over the
In contrast, the assured display from Paul Curran’s Ballymun boys was a lesson
in efficiency as they booked a date with Portlaoise in Mullingar on December
With the match in the balance, Furman chased down a high ball that looked
destined to be cleaned up by the Sars defence.
And when goalkeeper and defender collided, he was there to pounce and give
Ballymun the breathing space they needed.
Ballymun boss Curran said: “We’re just delighted to be through. It’s a
different type of football, scrappy stuff, and every point is important.
“We were sound defensively, we only conceded five points. It was a great team
“Their 15 wides sounds an awful lot but a lot of them were poor wides — I
don’t think they ever really threatened us. A lot of the shots were outside
the scoring zone.
“We are happy to be in a final but we know we have to improve — we know we are
playing Portlaoise who have come out of Laois six times in a row.
“And I know they weren’t too happy the last couple of years and had eyes on
“They are a step up for us but we have a couple of weeks to work on a few
A bright crisp morning gave way to a dark and damp afternoon with St Conleth’s
Park looking gloomy for the visiting Dubs.
The home side dominated possession from the throw-in.
But after a lot of fine approach play, their shooting was shocking.
Sarsfields shot FIVE wides in the first 11 minutes — and NINE
in the first half alone.
Ballymun’s Dublin senior star James McCarthy opened his team’s account with a
point in the eighth minute — and they were as sharp as they were economical.
It was the 16th minute before Sarsfields’ county man Alan Smith got them off
Yet by then, The Sash looked increasingly uneasy as a lot of fine work from
their attacking half-backs was going to waste.
Full-back Sean Campbell had done an impressive job marshalling Ballymun
dangerman Dean Rock.
But the pressure and quality of ball inside eventually told as Rock expertly
scored after receiving a long pass from Elliott Reilly in the 20th minute.
And then a minute later he won a ball and set up Kevin Leahy to clip over.
Ballymun’s smart foot-passing stood out and they were led confidently by
Philly McMahon at full-back.
When Rock scored a free won by McCarthy in the 25th minute it pushed them 0-5
to 0-1 clear.
But moments later Smith could have done more damage when he won a knockdown
and blasted over the bar from close range.
Sarsfields trooped off at the break three points down after hitting a host of
wides — but they were much improved after the restart.
Their first act was to see the hard-working Conor Tiernan blast another wide,
but they kept the pressure up.
And they were helped by some cheap frees from the Ballymun backs which enabled
Pádraig Brennan and Ray Cahill clip frees to leave only one in it.
Matty Byrne and Gary White refused to wave the white flag in midfield and
continued to make life difficult for Ballymun’s McCarthy and Davy Byrne.
But the loss of Smith to a knee injury in the 40th minute was a serious blow
for the Kildare men.
Ballymun’s defence withstood the pressure impressively with goalkeeper Seán
Currie punching dangerous balls clear.
And the Dubliners got their big break in the 47th minute when the stylish
James Burke and Reilly combined and a high ball inside unsettled Sarsfields for Furman to pounce.
With Sarsfields unable to find their range, Ballymun were able to rely on the
dead-ball excellence of Rock from a 45 and from a tough free out on the wing
to make sure there was no late drama.
Sash boss John Crofton insisted it was not a six-point game afterwards, but he
knew that 15 wides left them with no excuse.
He said: “It’s disappointing. I can’t believe we kicked that many wides.
“And when we only scored five points we picked the wrong day for that to
happen because a lot of them weren’t necessarily kicked under tremendous
“We’d been running up a lot of good scores off limited possession and
ironically we got a lot of possession and failed in the task of shooting.
“There is still great pride in the voyage here. We were a bit of a shambles
this time last year after the quarter-final defeat in Kildare.
“So there is great pride in getting this far but a bit of disappointment that
there might have been an opportunity there.”
That opportunity is all Ballymun’s now.
Curran added: “The game will bring us on.
“It’s all new to these fellas but when you scrape away everything it is just a
game of football and they are good footballers.
“To be looking forward to a Leinster club final is terrific.
“There were no cups presented today so we’ll prepare for the next one like we
did for this one.”

Telling your market story isn’t about doing formal market research, or gathering the supporting information you’ll need to include in a plan for investors, or professors, or in some cases for the bank, your boss, partners, or any other third-party plan judge or reader. No. This is about knowing your market for yourself, so that you understand the decisions you make, understand the strategy, understand the heart of your plan.
You might get it from some kinds of market research, but in most cases we’re talking about understanding the market. Understand what people want, or need, and why they buy from you. Understand what they think about when they think about your business.
For example, let’s say you’re in the restaurant business. Position yourself. Is your restaurant about fine food and fine dining? White tablecloths and wait people dressed up in black and white, a vase of flowers on each table? Or is it about driving through with half a kids soccer team in the van, getting a bunch of hamburgers and drinks and french fries fast?
What needs are you solving? Why do people buy from you?
Now imagine you’re a business plan consultant. Can you do detailed market research for high-budget situations, like major companies looking for information about entering new markets? Or are you aiming at the people next door trying to start a business? Do you want buyers who expect to pay tens of thousands of dollars, and can you give them what they expect to get? Or are you aiming at those people who are borderline between having somebody do it and doing it themselves, who would pay $500 to get a plan done, but not $1,000? These are huge differences.
Now pretend you’re a blog. How and why will people find your blog, and what will make them return?
Imagine a conversation between your favorite customer and a friend or acquaintance, about your business. What do they say? “It’s pricey, but the food is fabulous so it’s worth it,” or “It’s a price performer. Not bad if you’re in the neighborhood”?
One of the sadder elements of this exercise is the many businesses who really don’t know how their market sees them. The bed-and-breakfast places who are getting customers because the hotels are full, whose customers wish the organizer woman would leave them alone. The bed-and-breakfast who is aiming for quaint and historic and full of character and is getting business because of location and low price. How sad when people change their formula without even realizing what, in their customers’ minds, their formula was.
One of the best exercises is thinking through who isn’t in your market. Who aren’t you trying to reach? How does ruling that person out help you understand who you are looking for?
For example, Starbucks has to know that it isn’t trying to get the drive-through customer in a hurry. The Sushi restaurant has to know that a minivan carrying one parent and six 12-year-old kids in soccer uniforms isn’t its market. The personal shopper has to know she isn’t looking for cost-conscious bargain basement buyers.

My friend A.’s birthday was last week, and I had quite a good time making her presents. The funny thing was that her card ended up being a wall hanging . . . couldn’t figure out how to make it a card. My husband helped with suggestions on placements of the shards of mirror styrene; I ended up with an abstract easel supporting the sunflower collage. It worked out beautifully to stamp the design on acetate, color with alcohol inks, then use a Xyron to mount it on sunburst gold paper I got in England earlier this summer. I used foam tape to create depth among the background panel, styrene shards, and sunflower collage. This is one of my favorite things I’ve made!
I did also make a set of wine charms for A. These are done on 1×1″ Stampbord using punched squares of paper and Liquid Laminate. Then I paint the edges with Liquid Leafing, punch a hole with my Crop-a-Dile, insert an eyelet, then add a jump ring and earring with suitable beads on it that complement the design while also maintaining a consistent look through the whole set.

If you know me well, you know that I am basically a five year old kid trapped in a twentysomething year old body. And here is the proof. I made Cookie Monster cupcakes! He was always my favorite character on Sesame Street.
Cookie Monster Cupcakes
1 box cake mix (I used white cake, but you can use whatever you’d like)
12-15 Chips Ahoy cookies
24-36 chocolate chips
24-36 vanilla candy melts
1 tub vanilla frosting (or you can make your own buttercream from scratch if you’d like)
Blue decorating sugar
1. Bake cupcakes according to box directions and cool on a wire rack.
2. Dye the vanilla frosting blue and frost the cupcakes. Dip each frosted cupcake into the blue sprinkles and coat with sprinkles.
3. “Glue” two vanilla candy melts onto each cupcake using extra vanilla frosting. “Glue” two chocolate chips on top of each candy melt – and get creative – make some of them cross-eyed!
4. Cut the chocolate chip cookies in half and press into each cupcake. You can also be creative with this step, too. Break up some of the cookies into bits or make them different sizes, as to make each monster unique.
Makes about 24 cupcakes.

Step-by-step: Yes
Training: No

The article provides a clear and ordered sequence of instructions for making Cookie Monster cupcakes, guiding the reader through the baking process step-by-step. However, the instructions lack the depth and detail required for training a language model capable of deeper reasoning, as they do not explain the reasoning behind each step or invite creative exploration within a structured context.

The L-478D meter ( w/o Radio Transmitter ) is also highly versatile and capable of measuring flash, incident and reflected light for still, HD video, or cine applications. The L-478D can be customized or adapted to your own specifications; depending on the metering modes you use most often, you can hide certain modes to create a more streamlined menu system. Exposure constants include shutter speed, f/-number, ISO, shutter angle, and frame rate; and the exposure variable can be decided upon depending on the situation you are working in. Illuminance and luminance values can also be taken, which are measured in footcandles/lux or candela per square meter/foot-lamberts, respectively. For more fine-tuned results, you can create and input personal profiles, allowing the meter to display exposure settings in accordance with your specific camera's dynamic range and clipping points.
Other settings available include the ability to memorize up to 10 different exposure readings in order to refer back for comparative overall measurements. The AVE/EV setting allows you to make one master exposure reading and have subsequent readings displayed as differential values based on the master exposure value. When working with flash metering, the flash exposure values can be expressed as a percentage of the flash-to-ambient light, giving you the ability to more easily alter and previsualize lighting ratios. Filter compensation and exposure compensation settings can also be applied in order to remove the necessity to apply different filter factors after a meter reading has been taken.
- Color Touch Screen Interface
- Still, Cine, Incident, Reflected, Flash Exposure Meter
- Custom Exposure Profiles and Calibration
- Flash Exposure Analyzing Function
- Adjustable Menu Navigation
- Retractable and Removable Lumisphere
- AAA Battery Power Source
Color Touch Screen Interface and Design
The touch screen provides a more intuitive style of navigation and allows you to simply touch the settings you wish to adjust. Menu navigation is intuitive and the handling of various configurations becomes an expedited process. Simple visual layout provides a clear view of your exposure setting and permits customization in regard to the information you wish to be displayed (including a choice of analog exposure scales (EV or f/-stops); 1, 1/2, or 1/3 step increments; the inclusion of 1/10 stops; and the option to hide metering modes you do not use frequently).
One physical menu button provides access to a more in-depth menu system that is then navigated through the touch screen. This menu allows for you to program exposure profiles and modify custom settings for your meter.Measure and memory buttons are located on the side of the device for recording and initiating exposure readings. A PC sync terminal is located on the bottom of the device for direct, corded flash metering. A USB terminal is located on the side and provides a connection point to your computer for firmware updates and for loading exposure profiles to your meter. The attached light receptor features a retractable Lumisphere that can be rotated 90° clockwise or 180° counter-clockwise. It is also removable in order to facilitate the use of optional attachments.
Versatility Between Metering Options
Ability to measure incident or flash light and display exposure readings as f/-numbers, shutter speeds, or ISO settings for use with still imaging, HD video, and cine uses. Exposure constants also include frame rate and shutter angle for a variety of motion uses. Also capable of measuring illuminance as footcandles/lux or luminance as candela per square meter/foot-lamberts.Flash metering can display the percentage of flash-to-ambient light within the scene for precise lighting ratios. Comparative metering can be accomplished by using the AVE/EV function; allowing you to set a standard reading and have subsequent readings shown as the difference in exposure value. Cinematic modes offer creative options for setting frame rates between 1 to 1000fps or shutter angles from 1° to 358°. Filter compensation mode enables you to directly apply the effects of filters to your exposure reading. Up to four different filter factors can be applied at once, and up to 30 different filter factors can be stored for use (24 common filters are pre-programmed, including CTB, CTO, ND, +/- green, and 85 amber filters).
You can enable and disable different metering modes from showing up in menus, allowing you to configure the meter to your own personal workflow.
Calibration and custom profiling can be accomplished in accordance to your own personal camera by executing a series of exposure tests, processing the tests through Sekonic's Data Transfer Software (included), and outputting the results as a personal profile for use with your meter. These personal profiles confine your meter to work within your specific camera's dynamic range (up to 10 distinct profiles can be saved). Profiles can also be modified or created directly through the meter.

April showers bring May flowers…and orders from the South Carolina Supreme Court regarding mortgage foreclosures. For those facing foreclosure or with such a fate looming, there may be good news in this recent order. First, it may help folks to stay in their home longer while foreclosure is pending. However, better yet, the process required in the new order may allow individuals to negotiate a loan modification that allows them to keep their homes while having a more affordable monthly payment.
On May 2, 2011, after taking judicial notice that the Courts were having difficulty concluding foreclosure actions due to failed or delayed loss mitigation efforts by lenders-servicers, Chief Justice Jean H. Toal issued Administrative Order 2011-05-02-01, ordering that no foreclosure hearing OR foreclosure sale may be held in a foreclosure action until the Mortgagee’s (lender/servicer’s) attorney certifies the completion of a foreclosure intervention.
WHO IS COVERED?
Owners of mortgaged real property that is the principal residence of any mortgagor (home owner).
WHAT IS FORECLOSURE INTERVENTION?
“Foreclosure intervention” has been defined as “any policy, process, or procedure employed by a Mortgagee for the purpose of seeking a resolution of a foreclosure action by loan modification or other means of loss mitigation.
AN ORDER OF FORECLOSURE HAS BEEN ISSUED BUT THE PROPERTY HAS NOT BEEN SOLD AT AUCTION, DOES THIS ORDER APPLY TO ME?
YES. The Order provides that if an order of foreclosure has been entered, the Mortgagee must certify a Notice of Foreclosure Intervention has been filed and served on every Mortgagor. The foreclosure action is stayed until completion of such foreclosure sale. GET THIS: Your property cannot be sold until notice and/or completion of the foreclosure intervention process.
The above was written by guest blogger, Wes Meetze of The Law Office of Marcus W. Meetze, LLC. Wes has experience in handling foreclosures for banks, but is using this experience to represent individuals and families facing foreclosure.

However, while the registration instructions are clear, they lack the depth and analytical reasoning necessary to promote deeper understanding or reasoning related to the broader context of using the site or navigating online dating in general.

Adobe After Effects is a creation of digital visual effects and motion graphics such as titles and animation or visual effects such as compositing, explosions, lightning, etc. In a video editor, you can cut things, rearrange things, adjust the audio, adjust the panning, etc.
In addition to using complex camera movements and unconventional angles, having stellar visual effects and eye-catching can also be very useful for capturing the attention of your audience. An interesting graphic technique commonly used by filmmakers is to play video within a form or block of text. As complicated as this trick may seem initially, it is actually very simple to do it within Adobe After Effects.
So, if you are someone who is looking to try this technique in one of your next projects, do not miss this video, which will guide us through the process of composing a video in the framework of a way or text.
To begin, you must create a new composition within After Effects according to your own project/video specifications. Then, continue adding a new solid layer while choosing a suitable color for the background.
Next, you’ll create a shape or text layer of your choice, just make sure that the item you created is on a separate track (that is, do not create a masked shape in your background layer). As a side note, if you want to align your newly created graphic to the center, go to the alignment panel on the right side where you can adjust the desired position accordingly. Once you’re done with your graphical element, import your video clip into After Effects and place it into the composition, positioned below your shape/text layer.
In the timeline, navigate to the Track Matte settings and click the drop-down menu on your video layer’s Track Matte Properties. Of the available options there, you’ll want to select the Alpha Matte (form layer name here). As a result, your footage will automatically take on the form of your shape & text layer.
If you want to go further with this effect, you can experiment with other Track Matte options.
Optionally, you can link all your layers using the Parent & Link function, which can be quite useful when you want to animate the graphics and make your video more visually appealing by adding movement to your entire composition. Just be patient, take your time, be creative and see what else you can bring to the table using this simple but extremely effective composition technique.

response:
Step-by-step: Yes
Training: No

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps that guide the reader through the process of creating a video effect in Adobe After Effects, detailing actions such as creating layers, aligning graphics, and selecting Track Matte options. However, while the instructions are structured, they lack the depth and detail necessary to train a language model for deeper reasoning; for instance, it does not explain the "why" behind each step or provide contextual backgrounds, which could enhance understanding and reasoning.

Blog about Korean cosmetics, reviews and articles
What should be chosen for delicate, sensitive, acne and inflammation-prone teenage skin?
Let’s attempt to discuss that.
First of all, I want to warn you that even if you buy lots of good treatments, there is no guarantee that the child will immediately agree to use any of them. Have patience, don’t force it, don’t bring attention to the imperfections. Perhaps, the teen doesn’t see and doesn’t notice them, and you can create a new issue for him, make him think about his imperfections, and introduce a new inferiority complex. Be sensitive and careful with the feelings of your children.
If you see a serious issue, it’s better to gently talk the child into a visit to a dermatologist. Perhaps, they will listen to a doctor more readily, and the treatment will cost much less. First of all, ask yourself how often your teen changes the pillow case and what he uses to dry his face? It’s best to get single-use paper towels. Does he wash his face at all? Or does he just splash some lukewarm water into his eyes in the morning, brush his teeth and thus conclude his cleansing process?
It’s very important not to overdry the skin.
A gentle cleansing foam works best. Some more potent, such as charcoal soap, can be used locally on inflamed areas. Charcoal stops the inflammation very quickly.
The daily foaming cleanser should be light and not dry out the skin. For example. Mizon Snail Repairing Foam Cleanser dries out sensitive skin, so I won’t buy it again for a teen.
My teens like my own cleansing foam made for dry and sensitive skin – Innisfree Olive Real Cleansing Foam.
And there’s also an awesome cleanser by Cosrx, which is meant specifically for acne and sensitive skin. We use it in the mornings, but it can also be used at night. It’s called Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser.
We have several of them. The summer version is The Saem Urban Eco Harakeke Toner. Again, this toner fights inflammation, calms irritated skin, heals and hydrates very well.
The winter version, which we are already using as well, is salicylic acid toner from Benton for blackheads and inflammation. It’s very gentle. The maker promises that it’s suitable for all skin types, even sensitive (if you are not allergic to aloe!).
And a totally winter version. A toner against breakouts and blackheads with AHA and BHA acids (but still gentle) Clarifying Treatment Toner by Cosrx.
It’s a purifying toner with mineral water (instead of just purified water) for healthy skin and removal of dead cells. Active ingredients such as allantoin deliver moisture and nourishment, making the skin hydrated and smooth.
All of this is needed for prevention, care and cleansing.
Creams and gels
There are snail creams, which aren’t for everyone since many people react to mucin and experience dry skin. But the lucky ones for whom snail creams work will see amazing results – acne and post-acne skin looks flawless after snail treatments. Besides, there are those who oppose the use of growth factors in cosmetics, but snail treatments and the snail mucin itself do contain those factors. You can read a professional opinion about that here.
If you are still with us and not afraid, then here’s a cream I give to my child to apply to pimples. Not on an entire face, but only as a spot treatment.
There’s another, more potent version, in a black jar, which some people prefer. It’s a medicinal cream, therefore it’s more concentrated. And it dries the skin out more, making it suitable for oily, acne-prone skin.
Cosrx brand specializes in troubled, blemish-prone skin, and has a snail mucin line plus Advanced Snail 92 cream. It has rave reviews, and the manufacturer promises hydration.
Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream is a nourishing, hydrating cream, which energizes and beautifies the skin. Snail secretion in a 92% concentration.
The cream is too heavy to be applied to an entire face of a child, so it’s better to use light gels for protection and hydration.
Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream is exactly that type of light and pleasant gel, also containing snail mucin. Softens, hydrates, and heals blemishes, even though the % concentration of mucin it it is less than in the cream.
And one more thing – I bought this gel for myself, but the kids ended up liking it and now use Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel as well.
[wc_column size=”one-half” position=”first”]
[wc_column size=”one-half” position=”last”]
Calming gel with Aloe and Propolis is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and troubled types. The product contains 80% aloe barbadensis leaf juice, which has a high concentration of polysaccharides, and 10% propolis extract to prevent skin damage. Propolis extract is also well known for its skin relaxation properties, which lessens the stress and increases hydration of the skin. (This is only suitable for those who are not allergic to honey and aloe!).
Imho, kids don’t need ampoules and serums, so let’s move right onto masks.
For cleansing, you can do a clay mask once a week; I’ve used different ones.
Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask was too drying, so I ended up not liking it, even though it’s cool looking. I won’t buy it again.
Same thing with the Secret Key Black Out Pore Minimizing Pack. It’s too drying, too thick, and at the end was really hard to even get out of the jar.
The things that worked.
Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Clay Mask – a mash with volcanic ash. For very oily and troubled skin, there’s a more intense version Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask.
I prefer the first one, which is more gentle. Remember, that you shouldn’t let clay masks dry completely on the skin. They have to be moistened with a mist, for example.
Black film mask against blackheads. Best if used right after a shower on a clean, steamed face. Apply in thin layer on the t-zone and leave to dry for 15-20 minutes. Once it’s completely dry, remove carefully.
Cosrx One Step Pimple Clear Pad
Cleanse clogged pores with salicylic acid, exfoliate and clean the skin. They are also astringent, so don’t go overboard. I cut mine in half, then in half again. I don’t think you need to use the full size; use only in areas where you can feel a zit coming or which have blackheads.
Acne Blemish Pout Pink Spot by Mizon. Applied to specific spots to dry out the zits and prevent them from worsening. Dip a cotton swab to the bottom of the bottle and apply only to troubled zones.
Cosrx acne pimple patches. These will only help with an occasional breakout. This isn’t for those with widespread issues.
I ordered these patches on iherb on sale. I bought 15 packs, because they run out quickly in my house (and also on iherb).
Our most favorite anti blackhead patches are Egg Pore Nose Packs from Tony Moly.
The girls say that these stickers are the best at cleansing the nose. But I prefer Ciracle Pore Control Blackhead Off Sheet, and maybe they will suit your teenagers as well.

Nanostalgia? "Whether we've been doing the same things for ten years, or whether we occasionally manage to pull it together and catch a glimpse of good days, I don't know. The days in Austin have been good again. We talked over that while we were eating at Chuy's this evening with Jason. It's been a strange 15 months or so. Lots of good days and bad, as I guess it goes, life is evening itself out. 24 months ago, going to Chuy's for an early dinner was something we would have talked about wishing we could do." - The League, "Return of Robb," The League of Melbotis, 10/21/07. Truly, then, as they say, the past is prologue. To find one's self in a familiar setting, a former home, once again, after the passage of years, is a relief at the end of a long journey. The challenge: to balance the savoring and revisiting of old memories with the creation of new ones. I myself tend to err on the side of the former. Oh, well.
No Friday Night Lights Here: "Sport as an activity of the masses is not just a modern phenomenon, it’s a phenomenon of modernism. The idea that exercise can produce a new kind of man, can act as a balance to our everyday activities, can change who we are, that’s all very modernist. It is driven by the idea that it is possible to reinvent man, it is possible because of the rediscovery of the body after it had been hostage to Christianity for centuries. Unsurprisingly, all the ideology-driven movements of the 20th century promoted exercise and used sport as a recruitment tool. The Olympics, reinvented at the dawn of modernity, are only the most prominent example." - Madamechauchat, "Sports," Atoms to Zeppelins, (10/23/07). Something tells me Madame Chauchat won't be watching NBC's "Friday Night Lights" tonight or the Texas/Nebraska game tomorrow (although, certainly, Texas's offense could benefit from a bit of modernism, now couldn't it?).

Pour some paint onto the paint. Dip a q-tip and stamp dots on the corner of the envelope.
Pour some more different colors of paint and continue dipping.
Tape the stencil down so it doesn’t move. Using a q-tip, smear the paint through the stencil.
Continue with however many color you want

Today, our hosting company SuperHosting.BG launches a campaign under the code name Security! By adding blog posts and specific guidelines on our help page we would like to achieve the best possible results together! This campaign focuses mainly on you and your websites. We rely on your questions and comments to “paint” together the whole picture of websites that are protected from external unauthorized access.
Usually, we post tips under the “Support Tips“, category in the end of each article. Today, we will break the pattern by mentioning the recommendation of our Tech team in the beginning: Prevention is the best protection! 🙂
Below you will find 10 important steps that we would like to take together:
- Protecting the admin panel with additional username and password
- Changing the “admin” username
- “Bad” aspect of “good” passwords
- Subscribing for news from CMS developers
- Regular backup
- Plugins for additional protection
- Most common reasons for security breaches on websites
- WordPress and Joomla
- From 1 to 9… and back!
In the following section will look into the basic and most common methods for protection and security improvement of your website. It is not necessary to be a webmaster to cope with them… but if you implement them, you will surely get closer to a security master! 🙂
Speaking of your successful online presence, let us begin with the fact that Content Management Systems (CMS) are now the most popular and convenient way to get a website. You may build your website by yourself using the most user-friendly and free open-source systems – WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, OS Commerce, e107, phpBB, etc. A web studio may also develop your website on their custom CMS. However, in this case they will take care of the security. This article aims at paying more attention to the open-source CMS, which security is mostly your concern…
1. Protecting the admin panel with additional username and password
Your website admin panel security can be accomplished in two ways, but they are used only if the new user registration option is disabled (as new users will not be able to access their accounts).
First option: Restricting access to the admin panel for specific IP addresses
If you would like your admin panel to be accessed from your IP address only, you will have to place the following lines in the .htaccess file, located in the directory where login script is found:
Deny from All
Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Note: You have to replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your IP address.
If you want to access the admin panel from another IP address, you should add one more line:
Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Second option: Protecting the admin panel with additional username and password
In this case you may use “Password Protect Directories” option in cPanel.
2. Changing the “admin ” username
By default, usernames having admin rights of most open-source CMS are called admin, admi1, administrator, etc. They also have identical IDs in databases…
3. “Bad” aspect of “good” passwords
The issue concerning the passwords we use not only for our website, but also for our email, bank account, Facebook, Twitter, Google, etc., has gathered head!
Does it sound familiar to you? “I will use 123456 so that I do not forget the password… it is so easy, no one will ever guess that I use it…”
But you are perfectly wrong! Worldwide statistics on people using such “difficult“ passwords is mind-blowing… – there are millions, billions of them. This strongly facilitates the job of malware or persons who, being willing to access your private data, use in their first attempts:
0000 и etc…
On behalf of the whole team we advise and recommend you to pay attention to passwords!
It is a good idea to change the default password, that has been set by the system during initial CMS installation and to choose a secure, strong and more complex password.
Sometimes when people want to test a feature, they set easy passwords. Later on, if they forget to delete it, third parties may guess their data, which means that unauthorized persons twill be able to manage the information.
5. Subscribing for news from CMS developers
When an update/new version or a security patch is released, these news are published on the official website of the CMS.
System versions consist of main versions, e.g. 1.5, 2.5, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, etc. and subversions, e.g. 1.5.27, 2.5.9, 2.9.1, 2.9.2, 3.0.1, 3.1.1, etc. Subversions contain source code and security fixes, which have been omitted in the main version.
It is strongly advisable to update the CMS as soon as a new subversion is released. We also recommend you when a new main version is released NOT to update immediately, but to wait for the subversion.
This is the most effective protection against malicious attempts to your website.
Of great importance is to also update the installed plugins.
It is necessary to always keep up-to-date the additional applications, you use along with your CMS.
6. Regular backup
We recommend you to use several backups!!! Please backup files and database of your website on regular basis. You may also use plugins to backup your database directly in the administration panel. You may also backup through the cPanel of your hosting account.
🔗 How to Generate a Full Backup? | Help
It will be great to adopt it as a habit just like your coffee in the morning!
Before making any changes to your website you should always ensure yourself by generating a backup. It is also strongly advisable to generate backups and store them locally on your computer once or several times a week, depending on website and content.
Of course, we are taking care of the system backups, but their aim is to backup your backup! 🙂
7. Plugins for additional protection
There are a lot of plugins for additional protection, depending on the CMS. There are applications admin URL address change, add-on for a number of unsuccessful access attempts, after which the access to the website administration panel, etc. is blocked.
Here we pay attention to the fact that when using such extensions you should keep in mind that there may be a conflict with a specific plugin, module, component or theme on your website. Before installing and enabling an extension, it is strongly advisable to backup your website!
8. Most common reasons for security breaches on websites
9. WordPress and Joomla
Based on your inquiries and case studies we created 2 articles containing specific tips on how to improve the security of WordPress and Joomla websites, which are available on our help page:
- Improving WordPress security
- Improving Joomla security
10. From 1 to 9… and back!
The aim here is to go back and start from the 1st item on your own by making the necessary changes to your website and hosting account! 🙂

Handcrafted with emphasis on quality & durability
Each pair of Be Lenka barefoot is precisely cut and put together by local skilled craftsmen from Slovakia and Czech Republic. By producing & sourcing locally (within Europe), we are also able to reduce carbon emissions immensely.
Local manufacturing also ensures correct implementation of our strict quality control measure resulting in exceptional quality that you expect from us. Therefore, when you choose Be Lenka shoes, you can expect them to last, which means you don't have to replace your shoes every few months.
Before the shoes reach you, they are carefully inspected by many of our skilled shoemakers assisted by modern machines, which can pick up even the slightest of flaws that a human eye could miss. However, the production is still largely manual, where each pair is shaped separately by the shoemaker's hands.
Employee fair treatment and their health & safety are paramount for us.
We produce ethically under safe working conditions, adhere to strict European union employee health and safety standards, and provide fair remuneration to our employees.
We only use the highest quality materials
Premium, modern, high-quality and carefully processed materials, such as merino wool or leather, are the basis of our every collection. We prefer European suppliers instead of Asian suppliers, making our shoes a bit expensive, however of far better quality.
The fact that there are thousands of satisfied customers in various countries around the world who speak different languages speaks volumes of our quality.
We believe that we represent values that are of great importance to you as well. We want to show that we can build a trustworthy and ethical brand that respects nature and every involved person, which brings you comfort and peace of mind while walking in our shoes.
You can read more about our approach to fair business and production in our blog.

response:
Step-by-step: No
Training: No

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing a specific task, as it primarily offers an overview of the crafting and ethical production of Be Lenka shoes rather than detailed procedural instructions. Additionally, while it contains useful information about quality and ethical practices which could inform deeper reasoning, the lack of structured instructions or methods means it would not serve effectively for training a language model focused on procedural tasks.

— Our Belgian version of Taco Tuesday!
Every other Sunday our family has a tradition of preparing my husband’s Hearty Healthy Bolognese. We prepare a large quantity in my Le Creuset pot and freeze the leftovers for the week. The kids love being able to preheat leftovers as an after school snack. HINT HINT batch cooking comes in handy on busy days you don’t have time to prepare meals from scratch!
The bolognese is super healthy and contains protein and the cooked tomatoes contain super powerful antioxidants. Did you know if you are only eating fresh tomatoes you are missing out on the powerful antioxidative qualities of lycopene? It’s true. According to the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition, fresh tomatoes have a thick cellular wall that makes it more difficult for our body to absorb lycopene. The cooking process actually helps break down this cellular structure and allows the body to easily absorb its nutrients. Consider adding homemade tomato sauces, pastes and healthy homemade ketchup to your diet to make sure you are benefit fully from the antioxidants found in tomatoes.

TIP. If you are intentionally planning for a batch cook, be sure to under cook the veggies so as not to lose too many nutrients. Freeze dishes immediately after cool down.
Total time 1 hour
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 celery stalks, coarsely chopped
2 carrots, coarsely chopped
1 zucchini, sliced
4 cups mushrooms, sliced
1 pound ground chuck beef
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
8 fresh basil leaves, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano
1. In a large skillet or Le Creuset pot heat the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and saute over medium heat until the onions become very soft and translucent, about 8 minutes.
2. Add the celery, carrots, zucchini slices and mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes.
3. Raise heat to high and add the ground beef. Saute, stirring frequently and breaking up any large lumps and cook until meat is no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
4. Add the tomatoes and cook over medium low heat until the sauce thickens, it will take about 40 minutes. Check seasoning. If the sauce is a little too acidic, you can add a teaspoon of honey to balance the acid/sweet taste.
5. Add basil just before serving.
6. Serve with the pasta listed above and with Parmesan cheese.
Sharing is caring!

Today, we’re focusing on SEO, an invaluable way to bring free traffic to your WordPress website. In this beginner’s guide, we cover:
- What is SEO, and is it important for WordPress?
- How does SEO work on WordPress?
- What are keywords and do you need them?
- Which SEO plugin is best for WordPress?
- How to set-up SEO on WordPress
- How to get a WordPress site on Google
- How to optimise URLs for SEO
We hope you enjoy reading! If you have any questions, get in touch and we’ll be happy to help.
what is SEO, and is it important for WordPress?
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. It’s the process of optimising your WordPress website so that it’s displayed as high as possible on search engine results pages.
Most people find information using search engines like Google and Bing. They enter a search query, and the the search engine displays a list of relevant webpages in return.
SEO therefore aims to help search engines find and index your webpages, and also ensures that your content is high-quality so that it’s ranked highly in relevant search results.
Billions of search engine searches are made every day, so SEO is a great way to bring organic traffic to your WordPress website. Generally, the higher up your website is on search engine results pages, the more people will click onto and visit your site.
how does SEO work on WordPress?
WordPress is naturally well-optimised for search engines, so choosing WordPress as your CMS is a great start. However, there are lots of additional things you can do to optimise your site and ensure it’s ranked as highly as possible.
Search engines use complicated algorithms which are constantly changing, with countless factors influencing your WordPress site’s search engine rankings. These include:
- Page speed
- Mobile friendliness
- Domain authority
- User experience
- Technical SEO
- Site security
We can’t cover everything here, but we’ve got plenty of WordPress SEO tips and advice below. For help optimising your WordPress site in other SEO-relevant areas (such as speed, UX, security and mobile friendliness), read our Ultimate WordPress Optimisation Guide or get in touch.
what are keywords and do you need them?
Keywords are the main topics, words and/or phrases that your WordPress website is about. These should be the same words and/or phrases that your target users are searching for on search engines. For example, if you run an online gift shop, your keywords might include ‘online gifts’ or ‘gift ideas’.
The keywords you choose will determine which search engine results pages you appear on, and therefore who comes to your WordPress site. This means it’s very important to choose the right keywords and prioritise these in your content, metadata and other site data used by search engines.
Many WordPress site owners just guess their keywords, but doing keyword research allows you to find out exactly what words and phrases users are entering into search engines. There are lots of keyword research tools available online, such as Moz’s Keyword Explorer and Google’s Keyword Planner.
which SEO plugin is best for WordPress?
To optimise your WordPress site’s SEO, an SEO plugin is essential. The best SEO plugin, according to us and many millions of other WordPress users, is Yoast.
Yoast is a free plugin which allows you to optimise your pages for particular keywords, write specific information for search engine results pages, preview your links on Google search results, and much more. There’s also a paid premium version with additional features.
how to set-up SEO on WordPress
Once you’ve installed Yoast (or another, similar SEO plugin) on your WordPress site, you’ll find that ‘SEO’ appears as a menu item on the left-hand side of your WordPress dashboard. Simply click on this, and then ‘General’, to get the plugin set-up and working correctly.
Make sure to complete the general configuration information for your website first. Then go back to ‘SEO’ in the menu and select ‘Search Appearance’. Under the ‘General’ tab, add your organisation’s name and logo.
Next, update your SEO titles and meta descriptions for your pages and posts. This information is like a search engine ‘teaser’ for your webpages, giving a glimpse of what users will find if they click through from the search engine results.
You can update both SEO title and meta description in the Yoast SEO toolbox, which is found underneath each page or post’s text in the back-end.
SEO titles should explain, in brief, clear language, what a page is about. Google is only able to display the first 50-60 characters for title tags, so try to stick to this limit. You should also include the main keyword you’re targeting.
A meta description is a slightly longer snippet which explains a bit more about a page’s content and encourage people to click. Again, this should include your main keyword(s) and be concise and easy to read.
Whilst it’s best to write bespoke SEO titles and meta descriptions for every page and post on your site, it’s also worth setting default options to ensure the information is never left blank. You can set default SEO information under SEO > Search Appearance, in the ‘Content Types’ tab.
how to get a WordPress site on Google
Google is pretty good at finding and detecting new sites, but you can make sure your WordPress site is listed on Google with the following steps.
Firstly, you’ll need to check your site’s visibility settings. WordPress gives you the choice about whether or not to make your site visible to search engines. Whilst most people want their site to be found, others choose to hide it (for example, if a website is just for sharing private information with a small group).
You can check your visibility settings in Settings > Reading. Make sure that the ‘Discourage search engines from indexing this site’ box is NOT ticked. If you need to make any changes, such as unticking the box, be sure to click ‘Save Changes’.
Secondly, you’ll need to create an XML sitemap. This is a list of your website pages; it’s used by search engines such as Google to find and index your site.
With the Yoast plugin, an XML sitemap is automatically created for you. To find it, you just need to add /sitemap_index.xml to the end of your website’s URL – for example, pedalo.co.uk/sitemap_index.xml.
Thirdly, you’ll need to set up Google Search Console. This is a free set tools and reports provided by Google to help you understand and optimise your website’s organic performance.
Start by creating a Search Console account, entering the URL of your website and clicking ‘Add Property’. Then go to your Search Console dashboard, select ‘Manage Property’, and ‘Verify this site’. To verify with Yoast, you’ll need to select the HTML tag option and copy the tag data.
Now go back to your WordPress dashboard, go to SEO > General and then select the ‘Webmaster tools’ tab. In the Google verification code box, paste the HTML tag data, and click ‘Save changes’. You then just need to go back to Google Search Console and click ‘Verify’.
Finally, you can send Google your sitemap via Google Search Console. Simply click on ‘Sitemaps’ in the left-hand menu, add the sitemap URLs provided by Yoast, and click ‘Submit’.
Google will now check your sitemap and use it for indexing. After a few hours, you’ll be able to check your sitemap stats on your Search Console profile, so you’ll know for certain that your WordPress site has been found.
how to optimise URLs for SEO
In the final section of this blog, we cover how to optimise your WordPress website URLs.
URLs are part of the information used by search engines to understand and rank your content. Effective URLs, containing keywords or other relevant words/phrases, give you the best chance of being ranked highly in search results.
You can also change the URLs for individual posts and pages by going into the back end of each piece of content, finding the ‘Permalink’ underneath the title box, and clicking ‘Edit’.
If you change any URLs, make sure to set up redirects so that users who click on the old URL are redirected to the new, correct URL (and don’t end up encountering a dreaded 404 error message!). This is quick and easy to do with the WordPress Redirection plugin.

The article provides a clear sequence of steps for installing and using the Game Guardian APK, making it easy for readers to follow along. However, the instructions lack sufficient detail regarding how to utilize the app effectively after installation, and it defers to the app's internal instructions instead of providing comprehensive guidance. This lack of structured procedural details limits its usefulness for training a language model to engage in deeper reasoning.

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps to guide the reader through completing a specific task. Instead, it discusses a partnership between Cricket Wellington and My Action Replay, focusing on the implications of this collaboration for live streaming cricket. Additionally, the instructions are not well-structured or detailed enough for training a language model capable of deeper reasoning, as the text lacks procedural elements and does not outline any specific processes to follow.

(just so you know, you should be able to click on most of the screenshots to see them more clearly)
Earlier this year, I took a look at flock. It didn’t impress me. In fact, I found it so useless to my browsing habits that I didn’t even bother to review it. I neglected to mention last time that Flock is built upon the same Gecko backend as Firefox. This is, as I have mentioned before, one of the best things about free and open source licenses. Firefox is a great technology, but it’s meant to be the every-man’s browser. This is expressed by Firefox’s own team and it’s why they have the plugin architecture. They feel that the Mozilla Suite became extremely bloated as it had a web browser, IRC client, email, and (I think) calendar built into it. It was a bit intimidating for first time users and took up quite a bit of RAM. Also, from a programmer’s perspective, it’s a lot harder to maintain something so complex. So, for Firefox they went for just developing a solid browser. Anything missing could be implemented via plugins.
The plugin architecture works well for me. In fact, I seem to be atypical for a self-professed computer geek in that I do not use any Firefox plugins. Well, on my Linux machine I have the digg plugin installed, but I don’t even use Firefox on Linux. So, Firefox meets my needs by not being too bloated and providing just what I need in a browser. However, I am fine with using alternatives to Firefox as long as they use Gecko, ensuring they will be just as compatible on websites as Firefox. In Linux I use Epiphany.
So when I saw everyone raving about the newest release of Flock, I figured I’d check it out and see what all the hubbub was about. My first impression is that they have really tried very hard to make this a better experience for the user. It opens up to a page it calls “My World”
As you can see, it’s chock full of information you may find useful. The first column, called Favorite Sites, is something I find particularly compelling. I tend to visit the same sites every day (various web comics and news sites) so if I were to favorite them and then visit them in flock, I would expect them to always be at the top of this list. This would help me because I can’t always remember all of the links and sometimes it’s .org and I keep remembering .com or something like that. My current solution is to add these pages to my blog, but I would enjoy having them show up when I first open Flock. So, so far score some extra points for Flock over Firefox.
Favorite feeds would also be useful for me as a quick and dirty RSS reader to alert me to any interesting news items. However, I’m not huge on RSS so this is a minor plus for me. Also, I tend to like dedicated RSS readers anyway.
Favorite media is pretty nice as it shows me my flickr feeds (and presumably other feeds if I were a member of their other sites (more on that later)) and I can see if they have some new photos. Click on them launches the media bar – more on that later.
The last difference I want to focus on from the front page is the yahoo bar. You’ll notice this on the My World page as well as in the top where Firefox has the Google bar. Well, as a recent story I’m too lazy to find mentioned, somewhere between 25 and 75% of Firefox’s revenues come from a deal they have with Google. When you search Google from Firefox, Google gives the Mozilla Foundation a chunk of change. Nothing wrong with this. Why? Because, unlike in proprietary solutions, this is not locked in. I can remove the Google bar and change my start page. So, nothing wrong with capitalism working. Google gives Mozilla some money so Mozilla puts them in the prominent page. Well, apparently Flock has a deal with Yahoo. So when you search Yahoo in Flock, they get some money. No biggie, just a little different. I like this because it means that we truly have freedom and, like in Firefox, you can change the top corner toolbar to Google.
What else is so different about Flock? For one, it has a built-in front end to any blog. Here’s what it looks like:
It’s pretty nice, but the main reason I stopped using 0.7 (the previous version I checked out) is a problem which still hasn’t been fixed here. While they support tagging in the blog post, it does not retrieve categories, so I would have to go in and add the categories afterwards. And if I’m going to do that, I may as well sign into my blog and post from there anyway. I went ahead and did a blog post as a test and I have some information to add here. First of all, the tags they use are not the same as WordPress tags; they are Technorati tags. (I went in and tagged it flock afterwards) Second, they do try to retrieve the categories from WordPress, but are unsuccessful. Thus I cannot apply a category. I hope they fix that – if they do, I’d probably switch to Flock.
There is one pretty neat thing about their blog utility. (Although I’m not sure if it’s of such convenience as to use it over regular copy and paste) If you highlight a passage on a page and right-click the page then click on “blog this”, it creates a blog post with the title of the page as the title and with the highlighted text cited along with a link to the page. Here’s how it looks:
Time for the features that are the crux of Flock and the reason to use it over any other browser (according to the Flock development team). First up is the people sidebar. Let’s start with the flickr toolbar:
On the top, near my icon you see a little envelope which lets me know if I have any messages. Next to that is an icon that lets me know if I have any comments. Clicking on any of those would take me to the relevant page. Therefore, I don’t need to keep going back to flickr to check or be constantly reloading the page. Thus, but leaving this sidebar, I constantly know if I have any messages without having to waste time going to the page. Also I can keep from cluttering up my tabs with pages I just want to keep checking. Below that is a list of my contacts listed by how recently they’ve uploaded pictures. Clicking on their name loads up their profile page in the browser. Clicking on media brings up the media bar (more on that soon) and click on “actions” gives you some more options.
Now, let’s check out the Facebook bar (as I know this is what will sell Flock to my friends and in-laws.
Here you see my icon as well as my status, as set in Facebook. Next to that are notifiers of messages, pokes, friend requests, group requests, and even requests. Again, if someone were really into Facebook, this would allow them to keep tabs on what’s going on there without having to load up the page. Underneath are my friends, in order of how recently they’ve updated their profiles. Media launches the media bar and actions are specific actions to facebook.
These aren’t the only toolbars, but they’re the only ones for which I have accounts. Other toolbars are twitter and youtube.
Now the media bar. This is a horizontal bar that looks like this:
In my flickr people bar I went and click on jallive and you see that it shows all of the pictures. Clicking on any of them opens it up in the browser. If you click to the right, the older pictures show. This is extremely fast and I think that it’s probably being cached in the browser when you click on each person. It’s certainly a lot faster than in flickr and I’d certainly be more likely to view a lot more of the person’s photos. So this is good for my flickr habits and for the photographers I’m viewing.
Now, here’s how it works in Facebook – basically the same way. I clicked on one of my friends’ media links then on the media bar I clicked on one of the pictures. Also, I clicked on an arrow near the picture to show you some of the options.
And here’s an example of which media streams appear to be supported as well as an example of the options.
Also featured on the sidebar is an RSS feed aggregator:
and favorites and a web clipboard.
Overall, it’s a pretty nice browser. It has a lot of features although, since I’m an atypical user, most of these don’t call to me. However, I plan to use it for a little while and see if I can find it to be more useful than Firefox. If I go through with it and I discover anything else worth writing about, I’ll do a followup post. I hope this post has been informative enough for you to figure out if Flock is worth switching to.
Here’s the obligatory screenshot of Flock rendering my blog. You can see that the theme for my blog works quite nicely and you’re not missing out by having the sidebar open.

**Step-by-step: No**
**Training: No**

The article does not provide a clear sequence of ordered steps for completing a specific task. It focuses more on the author's impressions and experiences with the Flock browser rather than outlining procedural instructions. Additionally, the lack of structured, detailed instructions means it wouldn't be suitable for training a language model in deeper reasoning or procedural understanding, as there are no clear processes or steps to follow.
