Charles Anthony Boyd (August 17, 1959 – August 5, 1999), also known as The Bathroom Slayer, was an American serial killer. Between 1986 and 1987, Boyd committed the rape and murders of three women in North Dallas. Tried for one of the murders, he was convicted and sentenced to death. Boyd was later executed by lethal injection in 1999, at the Huntsville Unit.

Early life
A native of Dallas, prior to the murders, Boyd was sentenced to five years in prison for sexual assault and burglary. He was later granted early release in November 1985, after serving less than half of his sentence, after which he got a job as a janitor at a nearby bank. From July to September 1986, Boyd lived with his brother at his brother's apartment.

Murders
Boyd committed his first murder on July 22, 1986, when 37-year-old Tippawan Nakusan, a Thai immigrant who lived in the apartment just upstairs of his and worked as a waitress, was found stabbed and suffocated to death in her bathtub. On September 15, 1986, an apartment cleaning lady chanced upon 22-year-old Lashun Thomas laying dead in her apartment bathroom. She had been fatally stabbed to death.

On April 13, 1987, 20-year-old Linda Williams returned home to her apartment from work and found her roommate, 21-year-old Mary Milligan's body stuffed in a bathtub, raped, strangled, and drowned. While investigating police assumed her killer was the same one who killed Naksuwan and Thomas, by that time locals and the media had applied the pseudonym of "The Bathroom Slayings" to the string of murders. While observing the scene of Milligan's murder, it was found that some items had been stolen from the apartment. Milligan's car, a 1982 Cadillac was also reported to be stolen from the complex's parking lot. It was later found abandoned.

Trial and conviction
The next day, Boyd was arrested after being found in possession of Milligan's personal items, some of which he was trying to pawn. Subsequently, a blood and hair test left at the scene exposed Boyd's involvement. After his arrest, he confessed to all three killings. In late April, Boyd was charged with the murders of Nakusan, Thomas and Milligan. Despite this, and his confession, prosecutors opened the trial in early October with him only being faced with a conviction for the killing of Milligan, because it contained forensic evidence.

He was indicted on a capital murder charge for killing Milligan, and because he had admitted to the killing, his defense claimed he was mentally retarded, and therefore could not be given a death sentence. His lawyers contested Boyd had a reported IQ of 67, but another prison file listed his IQ as being 80. After 10 minutes of deliberating, the jury reached a guilty verdict for Boyd in November 1987, and a month later they sentenced him to death.

Execution
On August 5, 1999, Boyd was executed by lethal injection in the execution chamber at the Huntsville Unit. Prior to his execution, he was asked if he would like to make a final statement, for which he declined. When the drugs took effect, however, he claimed out of the blue that he was innocent; "I want you all to know I did not do this crime. I wanted to wait for a thirty day stay for a DNA test so you know who did the crime." Not long after, Boyd let out a gasp and went silent. He was pronounced dead at 6:16 p.m.

Microsoft's Surface RT tablet has impressed reviewers, but the Windows 8 slate hasn't enjoyed massive sales. Yet. Rather than this being down to public disinterest, Microsoft believe this is down to poor distribution, something they're now looking to rectify.
Aiming to put the tablet in a wider array of stores worldwide, Microsoft will also extend the lifespan of pop-up Christmas shops created to promote the tablet during the holiday rush. Some of these shops have proved so successful Microsoft are even considering making them permanent retail spots.
This contradicts an earlier rumour that, due to poor demand, Microsoft would be slowing production of the Surface tablet. Windows 8 tablets across the board seem certainly seem to be struggling, with Asus, Samsung and Dell's Windows 8 tablets staying put on shelves, with sources describing their sales as "weak". Asus' chief finance officer even previously admitted that "demand for Windows 8 is not that good right now," despite the company investing lots in the new software.
Microsoft's expansion plans for the Surface will hit the US and Australia first, with those territories the first to get the expanded list of stockists during mid-December. UK expansion will take place in the coming months, while the tablet is still available direct through Microsoft online for £399 for the 32GB edition.

Ricardo "Tato" Ortíz, voller Name: Ricardo Alberto Ortiz Saldaña, (* 6. Februar 1957 in Montevideo, Uruguay) ist ein ehemaliger uruguayischer Fußballspieler und derzeitiger Trainer.

Spielerlaufbahn

Verein
Als Spieler stand Ortíz ab 1971 zunächst neun Jahre bei Defensor in Montevideo unter Vertrag. Als 14-Jähriger spielte er anfangs in der dortigen Fünft-Liga-Mannschaft, debütierte aber bereits Ende 1971 unter dem Trainer Prof. de León in der ersten Liga und gehörte im folgenden Jahr bereits der Dritt-Liga-Mannschaft Defensors an. In seiner Zeit bei Defensor wurde er 1976 erstmals uruguayischer Meister. Defensor brach damals als kleiner Verein zum ersten Mal die bis dahin währende Vorherrschaft der beiden großen montevideanischen Klubs Peñarol und Nacional. In diesen Zeitraum fiel jedoch auch eine schwere Verletzung Ortíz'. Der Riss seiner Patellasehne hätte beinahe das Ende seiner Karriere bedeutet. Der Vereinsarzt Nacionals Dr. Suero bewahrte ihn mittels Operation jedoch vor diesem drohenden sportbezogenen Schicksalsschlag, der ihn ansonsten im Alter von 19 Jahren ereilt hätte. Bei seiner nächsten Station Peñarol konnte er mit der von Luis Cubilla trainierten Mannschaft seine Titelsammlung ausbauen. Dreimal in Folge (1981, 1982, 1983) gelang der Gewinn der uruguayischen Meisterschaft. Hinzu kam 1982 der Triumph bei der Copa Libertadores und im Weltpokal. Nach seiner Zeit in Montevideo verließ er sein Heimatland in Richtung Kolumbien. Dort schloss er sich 1984 Deportes Tolima an und gewann die kolumbianische Vize-Meisterschaft. Über eine weitere Station bei Defensor 1985 führend, endete seine Spielerlaufbahn schließlich 1986 beim uruguayischen Verein Bella Vista.

Nationalmannschaft
1974 war er Mitglied der uruguayischen Junioren-Nationalmannschaft und gewann mit dieser als Kapitän, im Finale geschlagen von Brasilien, den Vize-Südamerikameistertitel in Chile. Im Folgejahr wurde er mit der U-Auswahl Südamerikameister beim Turnier in Peru. Im Verlaufe des Turniers wurde von Trainer Walter Brienza sechsmal eingesetzt. Ein Tor erzielte er nicht. 1976 debütierte er in der A-Nationalmannschaft Uruguays und gehörte 1980 dem erfolgreichen Kader beim Mundialito an.

Trainerlaufbahn
Nachdem er 1988 erste Schritte im Trainergeschäft als Assistenztrainer bei Central Español unternahm, begann seine Trainerlaufbahn mit einer kurzen Zwischenstation bei El Tanque Sisley, wo er 1990 in die Primera División aufstieg, im Jahre 1991 bei Peñarol Fahrt aufzunehmen, als er dem am 27. April 1991 entlassenen Argentinier César Luis Menotti am 2. Mai 1991 nachfolgte. Bei den Aurinegros bildete er ein Trainerteam mit Prof. Antonio Tchakidjian (preparador físico) und Carlos Aguilera (Co-Trainer). Im selben Jahr siegte er mit seinem Team bei der Copa Cagliari. 1992 stand er bei Racing Montevideo unter Vertrag und im Folgejahr trainierte er die uruguayische B-Auswahl. Es schloss sich ein Traineramt bei Centro Atlético Fénix 1994 an. Ab 1996 war er auch erstmals als Trainer Defensor Sportings tätig. Dort gewann er 1997 den Meistertitel des Torneo Clausura. 1998 führte ihn sein Weg als Trainer zum ersten Mal ins Ausland. Er trainierte in den folgenden Jahren Cobresal, Fernández Vial und Santiago Morning. Nach der Rückkehr nach Uruguay gelangte er über eine Zwischenstation 2001 bei River Plate Montevideo im Jahre 2002 erneut in einer zweiten Amtszeit zu Defensor. Dort erreichte er mit seiner Mannschaft im selben Jahr das Finale der Liguilla Pre-Libertadores, des nationalen Vorausscheidungswettbewerbs für die Copa Libertadores. Danach trat er abermals den Weg ins Ausland an und coachte den peruanischen Verein Universitario im Jahre 2003. Weitere Vereine unter seiner Regie waren in der Folgezeit Deportivo Maldonado (2004) und die honduranischen Vereine Universidad (2005), Real España (2006) und Deportivo Vida (2006/07). In der Saison 2006/07 trainierte Ortíz sodann auch einen Monat lang den damaligen uruguayischen Erstligisten Cerrito. Abermals Trainer bei Fernández Vial (2007/08), zog er weiter in Honduras Erste Liga. Dort stand er ab Oktober 2008 bei Deportivo Victoria, als Nachfolger Javier Padillas, unter Vertrag. Bei den Honduranern wurde er jedoch im Februar 2010 entlassen, nachdem er ausstehendes Gehalt geltend machte. In der Saison 2010/11 übernahm er am 16. Februar 2011 das Traineramt beim uruguayischen Erstligisten Cerro. Am 21. Dezember 2011 gaben Trainer Ricardo "Tato" Ortiz und der Verein die einvernehmliche Trennung bekannt. Schon im Juli 2012 kehrte er jedoch zu seinem vormaligen Arbeitgeber zurück, der ihn schließlich im Februar 2013 erneut entließ.

Von Juli 2015 bis September 2015 trainierte er CD Platense in Honduras und von Januar 2016 bis April 2016 war er Trainer des uruguayischen Zweitligisten Club Atlético Atenas. Ab Juli 2018 trainierte Ortíz erneut Atenas bis zum Jahresende.

Medium yellow colour. The nose has hints of roast hazelnut, a little volatility, perhaps marzipan too, later I think it's more high-toned, citrus fruit than volatility. A little oily texture, but a certain minerality too. Good balance then this wine's peak selling point – a super burst of dimension in the mid-palate with a length to match. This wine is far from a cheaply priced grand cru, but has a lot going for it; it's a decent price and it's very, very tasty – nothing else needed here!

PERMATANG PAUH: Many methods can be employed to determine wrongdoings in decisions made on large-scale projects, including the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) under Parliament, and not necessarily through a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI).
PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar said the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government employed the arbitration approach in all large-scale projects, in this case, the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project and the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur High Speed Rail (HSR) project.
She said this when asked on her reponse to former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's call for a RCI on the three China-linked projects approved during his administration.
These included the ECRL, and the two Strategic Energy Resources (SSER) pipeline projects.
He had said the government should initiate the RCI to determine "if there was wrongdoing", and the people deserved to know if the decision to cancel the projects was based on reasonable and solid grounds, and not made out of anger towards the previous Barisan Nasional (BN) government or China which had refused to bow to PH's demands.
Nurul Izzah who is Permatang Pauh MP said the PAC was a good avenue as it is headed by the opposition bloc.
"From the PAC, we can look into all aspects, including wrongdoings, increase in cost and many others. Also, the PAC will take a shorter time compared to the RCI.
"If all avenues have been exhausted, then maybe we can use the RCI, but priority should be given to the mediums under Parliament first," she said.
She added that large-scale projects, including the 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), had not been detailed out comprehensively, leading to all sorts of issues.
She stressed that any government decisions were based on merit to ensure public funds were not sacrificed as well as to look into the needs of the respective projects.
"As such, we need a body which is easier to manage, efficient and concrete," she said when met at the Jamuan Korban Kesyukuran organised by Yayasan MyPrihatin in Guar Perahu this afternoon.
On a separate matter, Nurul Izzah said she appreciated the views of PKR Youth chief Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, who said that the conditions set by the PKR Election Committee this time around was impractical.
She said she would use the internal channel within the party to raise the matter.
"There are new rules set for campaigning during the party elections which is impractical and not easy to be done.
"We must be mindful that PKR is the first party to use the direct voting system in this party elections, which is seen as challenging," she said.
Elaborating on her campaign, Nurul Izzah said she would mobilise it as soon as possible as her schedule had been extremely packed.

Estaleiros Navais de Viana do Castelo (ENVC) is a medium-sized shipyard in business since 1944, located in the town of Viana do Castelo, on the Atlantic Coast in the very north of Portugal. Occupying an area of 400,000 square metres and employing 625 people, it is a major Portuguese shipbuilder. In 2013 its assets and operations are sub-licensed to Martifer (West Sea Shipyard).

History
The shipyards were funded in June 1944 as a private limited liability company with a capital of 750,000$00 escudos by a group of technicians and workers from the shipyards of the port of Lisbon. Two of the first investors were Vasco D'Orey and João Alves Cerqueira, from the cod fishing industry. Its creation was part of a Portuguese government program to modernize the national fishing fleet.

In 1948 the company delivered its first three ships, all fishing trawlers for cod fishing: Senhor dos Mareantes and Senhora das Candeias were delivered to the company Empresa de Pesca de Viana, and São Gonçalinho to the company Empresa de Pesca de Aveiro.

In May 1949, the ENVC were constituted as an anonymous society with a PTE 37,000,000$00 capital. in 1950 the company H. Parry & Son, Lda. became the main shareholder and in 1971 the CUF group took over as the major shareholder.

In 1975, following the Carnation Revolution the previous year, the shipyards were nationalized and became a state-owned company with a capital of PTE 330,000,000$00. In 1987 its capital was changed to 3 million contos.

In 1991 the company was made an anonymous society with the Portuguese government remaining the major shareholder.

Since the early years Viana shipyard has developed its own design and had the capacity to design, build, convert and repair different sophisticated and specialized ships.

Up to the present, the yard has delivered more than 200 vessels including barges, tugboats, ferry boats, fishing vessels, general cargo and bulk carriers, container ships, oil and chemical tankers, LPG's, cement carriers and war vessels.

Q: Establishing session variables and maintaining security on a web page I've create a web site that authenticates users via LDAPS to a Windows domain - works fine, users are able to log in when they enter credentials a session variable ($_SESSION['LDAPSExampleUsername'] is established and maintained until they log out.  So, I want to make sure that if a user is logged in, they can see https://host/main.php.  If they're not logged in, they can't get to main.php, it'll just take them to https://host so that they can to log in.  I have this working fine with syntax like;

        }

I've been doing some reading and find that many say that this isn't really such a great idea because web browsers can disable forwarding to other web pages (defeating the purpose and causing a major issue).  What is the appropriate way of handling this situation?

One member of the council shall be elected for each eight members of the faculty and for any remaining fraction of four or more members of the faculty of any such division or school. However, each division or school is entitled to at least one member but to no more than ten members.
2. The term of office of elected members shall be two years. No member shall be eligible for election for more than three successive full terms.
B. Mode of Election
1. Nominations and elections to the Council shall be conducted by an Elections Committee consisting of three to four members of the faculty appointed by the Executive Committee of the Academic Council.
2. All nominations and elections to the Council shall be by secret ballot among all members of the university faculty defined as eligible to vote in the Bylaws of the University Faculty, Article V. The nominating ballot for each division or school shall, at the discretion of the Election Committee, either list all faculty members who are eligible to serve or list that subset of eligible faculty members who have expressed a willingness to serve. The nominating ballot shall be presented to the faculty on a date in the Spring term, and shall indicate the faculty members who have already been elected for the coming academic year and those who will be on leave, or be otherwise unavailable to serve a full term. In each division or school, each faculty member entitled to vote under Article V of the Bylaws of the University Faculty may then vote by returning the relevant nominating ballot by a specified date. Each faculty member may vote for as many nominees as he or she wishes, yet the votes cast should not exceed twice the number of members to be chosen to represent the division or school. Ballots not conforming to this requirement shall be invalid. If the number of faculty members available for nomination within a given school or division is less than or equal to three times the number of open seats for that school or division, the need for a nominating ballot is negated and the process shall proceed directly to the election ballot.
3. a. Annual elections shall be so conducted that in divisions and schools entitled to elect ten members, at least one member shall be an assistant professor and at least two members shall be associate professors, if numbers in those ranks permit. Schools or Divisions entitled to elect ten members. Annual elections shall be so conducted that in divisions and schools entitled to elect ten members, no more than one member shall be from the regular rank non-tenure track faculty, except that in the Division of Clinical Sciences up to four members may be from the regular rank non tenure track faculty, and at least one member shall be a tenure track assistant professor, and at least two members shall be tenured or tenure track associate professors, if the numbers in those ranks permit. The nominating ballot shall indicate the number of persons to be nominated in each such category in order to fulfill this requirement. Each faculty member in the division or school may then vote, if entitled to do so, by a date specified, and shall vote for at least as many assistant professors as are specified on the ballot, for at least as many associate professors as are specified on the ballot, and for the total number specified for all ranks. Ballots failing to conform to these specifications shall be invalid. Rank held at the time of nomination ballot listing shall obtain throughout the election process for the purpose of achieving distribution by rank under this bylaw.
b. From the results of the nominating ballot in each division or school the Elections Committee shall prepare an election ballot listing twice the number of nominees in each rank category as there are Council members to be elected in that rank category, not including alternates further to be identified. For those schools or divisions for which no nominating ballot was issued, the Elections Committee shall prepare an election ballot listing all faculty members who indicated a willingness to stand for election. In each division or school each university faculty member who is entitled to vote under Article V of the Bylaws of the University Faculty may then vote, by returning the relevant election ballot by a date further specified. Each faculty member entitled to vote may vote for as many candidates as he or she wishes, not exceeding the number of members to be chosen to represent the division by the balloting. Ballots not conforming to this requirement shall be invalid. Those nominees receiving the highest number of votes in each rank category, up through the number to be elected in such rank category, shall be declared elected, with ties resolved by lot.
4. Schools or Divisions entitled to elect fewer than ten members. When a division or school is entitled to fewer than ten members, it shall follow the mode of election prescribed in the previous paragraph except that it shall not be bound to achieve distribution by rank, except that no more than one regular rank non tenure track member may be elected from that division or school.
C. Time of Election
Elections shall regularly be held in the spring semester, and the first regular meeting of the Council in which the newly elected members shall sit shall be the first regular meeting of the academic year. Voting privileges, except for those pertaining to the election of Executive Council members as explained in section II.B.2 of these bylaws, shall commence at this meeting.
D. Vacancies *
1. Vacancies which may occur on the Academic Council between elections shall be filled by reference to a list of alternates developed in each division or school by the Elections Committee. Such lists shall be in descending order of numbers of votes received on the election ballot among all nominees not elected, not having declined to serve anytime during the entire two-year term, and having received at least two nominating votes. Ties on the alternate list are resolved by lot.
2. Should an elected member of the Council anticipate an absence from three or more successive meetings of the Council due to sabbatical or leave of absence from the university faculty or due to disability, the chair of the Academic Council shall, at the member's request, appoint a temporary substitute for the term of the leave or the period of disability. The substitute shall be the first available alternate from the school or division which the substituted member represents. The elected member may reassume membership on the Council upon termination of the sabbatical, leave of absence or disability and the alternate shall reassume his/her position as the first available alternate on the alternate list. Such requests for substitution shall be made prior to the anticipated absences. If there is no available alternate, the chair of the Council may designate a temporary replacement from the same school or division.
3. Except as provided in paragraph 2, when an elected member has resigned or been absent from three successive meetings of the Council without accepted prior notice, a vacancy shall be recognized. After acceptance of the resignation or notification of the repeatedly absent member that such membership has lapsed, the vacancy shall be filled until the next election by the next available alternate on the list for that school or division. If there is no available alternate under that provision, the replacement shall be designated by the Executive Committee of the Academic Council.
* Customarily, faculty members have been considered unavailable for election to the Council if they expect to take a leave or sabbatical in the year following a given election. This provision concerns primarily those who need to plan for an absence subsequent to their election to the Council.
E. Meetings
1. The Academic Council shall meet monthly during the regular academic year, September through May, at dates, times, and places specified by the Executive Committee of the Academic Council. It shall meet at other times at the call of its chair or Executive Committee or upon the written request of ten of its members.
2. A simple majority of the elected members of the Council shall constitute a quorum, except for approval of degrees in course, when the members present shall constitute a quorum.
3. Members of the Council shall serve in person.
4. Only elected members shall vote on matters brought before the Council with the exception that, in the case of a tie, the chair may cast the deciding vote. Voting shall ordinarily proceed by voice, but upon petition of a member of the Council or on its own authority, the Executive Committee of the Council may provide for voting by secret ballot.
II. The Chair and the Executive Committee of the Council
A. 1. The Academic Council shall nominate and elect by secret ballot a chair who shall serve a term of two years. The Executive Committee of the Academic Council shall appoint a five-person committee from the university faculty to nominate two persons for chair of the Academic Council. Additional nominations may be made from the floor. Any member of the university faculty who has given consent is eligible to serve as chair of the Council. The new chair shall take office on July 1, and shall be elected no later than the February meeting of the Council. The chair shall be an ex officio member of the Academic Council and shall not be counted as a representative of any division or school of the university. The chair shall be responsible for the appointment and supervision of the administrative personnel and for administering the Council's budget.
2. In the event of a vacancy in the office of the chair, the Executive Committee of the Academic Council shall call a special election to elect a new chair to serve the balance of the preceding chair's term. Such special election shall be conducted at the earliest practicable regular or special meeting of the Council. Until such special election, the vice-chair of the Academic Council shall serve as acting chair.
3. No person elected as chair shall be eligible for election to more than two consecutive full or partial terms in that office.
B. 1. The Academic Council shall elect seven of its members who, together with the chair, shall constitute the Executive Committee of the Academic Council. The seven members shall serve two-year terms, three or four members being elected each year, except as more may be needed to fill vacancies. With the exception noted in paragraph 3 below, current members of the Executive Committee shall not be eligible for re-election. Only members of the Council may serve on the Executive Committee, membership ceasing if one is not re-elected to the Council before expiration of a term on the Executive Committee.
2. The annual election of members of the Executive Committee shall be held in the spring after the election of new members of the Academic Council. The election of new Executive Committee members is the privilege of recently-elected Council members and those Council members whose terms continue into the following academic year. A few weeks prior to the election of the Executive Committee members, the Academic Council Chair shall solicit nominations from the new and continuing members, any five of whom may nominate a candidate on the condition that the candidate has agreed to stand for election. After soliciting nominations and considering the need for representation across the University, the Executive Committee shall prepare an election ballot with twice the number of nominees as open seats. The list of nominees shall be circulated to the members of the Council prior to the election. A valid ballot must contain selections equal to the number of open seats.
3. In the event of a vacancy in the membership of the Executive Committee, a Council member shall be chosen by the Executive Committee to serve until the next annual election. If at that time there remains an unexpired year in the term, the Council shall elect, in the manner described above, a member to serve the remainder of the term. In this case, the member previously chosen by the Executive Committee shall be eligible for election to complete the term.
4. Each year, after the election of new members, the Executive Committee shall choose from its members a vice-chair of the Academic Council.
C. The Executive Committee shall serve as the committee on committees for both the Council and the university faculty. The Executive Committee may set up such ad hoc committees of the Council as it finds needed. Members of the committees shall be drawn principally from the members of the Council and other members of the faculty, but other persons may be appointed to such committees as the Executive Committee, in its discretion, deems advisable. The Executive Committee shall also nominate all faculty representatives on all university committees, including search committees and committees of the Board of Trustees, on which the faculty shall be accorded representation. All faculty representatives so nominated shall report to the Academic Council on their activities on these committees at the request of the Executive Committee, but in no event less frequently than once in each academic year for faculty representatives chairing such committees.
III. Amendments
These bylaws may be amended by the vote of a majority of the entire membership of the Academic Council, provided that the text of any such amendment, without significant deletion or addition, has been circulated to the members of the Academic Council at least ten days prior to the meeting at which such vote is taken. Provided further, that, as stipulated in Article IV of the Bylaws of the University Faculty, no amendment to these bylaws affecting the composition of the membership of the Council shall be effective until approved by the university faculty in accordance with the procedures specified in Article III of the Bylaws of the University Faculty.
Amended 9/25/03, 1/24/08, 2/23/12, 10/18/12


Finding Clive is a romantic comedy that will appeal to an international audience, which in previous years has enjoyed The Big Sick, LaLaLand, Four Weddings And A Funeral. So far, cast members are slated to include Shirley Henderson (Stan and Ollie, Bridget Jones Diary, Harry Potter) and Roger Allam (The Hippopotamus, Endeavour, The Thick of It).
A curious assortment of Clives respond and Mari ventures on a series of dates. All of them are disastrous in their own special way because mostly these Clives are liars or just plain weird.
This warm, hilarious and beautifully crafted romantic comedy celebrates eccentric women and advocates acceptance and sympathy for the underdog.
Visually dynamic and rich in tone and texture, Finding Clive will be realised with a heightened realism and located in a vibrant urban neighbourhood.
The soundtrack will be punctuated with songs sung by Shirley Henderson, who has a phenomenal soprano voice and recently won the Oliver award for best actress in a musical.
Written and directed by award-winning Deva Palmier with writer George Jeffrie.

Our opponents have lost the art of getting a result.
They are a class act.
Everyone put 'a shift in', but our opponents were probably the best side seen here for some time.
Wasn't great, and they edged it.
There is always a fag-paper between these two teams.
A lot to complain about, apart from the result.
Four-nil up and should have ended up double that; we ended up hanging on. Never dull!
Deserved win and a welcome clean sheet.
Played well, but should a have taken more chances.
It took 20 minutes to break through their 10 men, but after that the tie was settled.
Lots of possession, but few good chances produced, which in end, cost us.
They edged it on the night, but what a fantastic season, very well done.
The better team found themselves three-nil down, and two down going into injury time. The scoreline tells the rest. Amazing!
Congratulations to Cuxton, who from our point of view are worthy champions.
A couple of glaring decisions did not go our way, but the result was possible fair.
The gale that blew made normal football almost impossible. A penalty decided the encounter.
A game you would pay money to see, everything last week's game wasn't.
Not a good game, not a good ref and poorly behaved opposition, which eventually got to us.
After being 2-1 up at half time, the 'Farleigh One' was not pleased.
A now familiar scoreline! Responding well after half-time to secure the points.
A little wobble after half time when they got one back, but ran out deserved winners.
The run comes to a crushing end. "When the going gets tough TTGG", They (Cuxton) were the embodiment of that today. Please learn.
Got bullied. We must be stronger.
The first half especially, was very impressive.
Dominated the game for the large part yet happy for a point thanks to our late goal.
They were wetter than us.
"The girl was wetter than a haddock's bathing costume." and we were not the girl.
The visitors are not a poor side yet showed why they are bottom of the league.
All the goals in the last 10 minutes, after the visitors lost their heads and we found ours.
"They were up for it more than us", that's all people said afterwards. Something to learn from.
Should have been at least two to the good in the first half and five to the worse second. Happy to take a point. A wind effected game.
We were never in trouble against the second in the league. How high can we finish this season?
WF 1-1 Larkfield (7-8 pens) Despite the weather, both teams were able to play and compete to entertain the cold, sodden crowd; sad to lose!
Both teams playing much better against the strong wind, a draw was a fair result.
All at sea and 2-nil down after 5 minutes, credit to all for turning it around.
Brilliant! When at half time you were told "You are still in this"; and lo behold you were, 3-nil is nothing. Happy days.
The opposition were good, very good.
Against a technically better side we played the better football.
We can look forward to next season on the back of such performances, and against better opposition.
On the day, better in all departments and aspects of the game.
The result was settled early on, but bare XI we had competed well throughout.
Eccles could have won by more, but the longer the game wore on, the more impressive we became and the greater the threat we posed.
An early goal was enough to settle this match, but should it have been, is open to debate.
Basically a Reserve XI, but performed throughout as if they were first XI, with the youngsters especially pleasing.
An excellent result after the disappointment of last week.
An excellent game to watch, with the visitors, in the end, deserving the 3 points - just.
Good team, good performances, good result. 3rd at Christmas, and with this form, could remain.
Battling well on difficult pitch, there was little between the sides; as there appears to be little to be all the top squads, of which we are one.
Having seen they reserves play also today, they would have beaten Headcorn, thankfully the first team did.
The only disappointing thing was the result. The spectators (32 of them) were well entertained, and not all via themselves.
We may have had the edge on who had control of the game, yet it was our goalie who had most to cope with. Good result.
For 25 minutes despite being a goal down we were the better team; then, after not converting a penalty, we were second best.
Much better, and kept a clean sheet. No tweet last week as could muster nothing like 140 letters.
Farleigh will rue the early chances that were missed as they could have easily been 2-0 up, but few would disagree that the right team won.
A finely balanced game, but in the second half the opposition took their chances to win the tie.
If you are going to win things, you somehow win games like these. A heartening start to the season on many levels.
We were full value for our 2-1 lead after an hour, but then three quick unstoppable goals knocked the stuffing out of us.
The best is now 5th position and the worst 7th with one game to go. With a little stronger squad for next season, we could vie for silverware!
The right team won despite the efforts of the referee. In a clean game there were five bookings.
Starting with 9 and a half men! Hats off to everyone who gave their all and played through the pain. With no score at half time, the efforts of the first half finally took their toll.
With several players unavailable, the three goals in the last 10 minutes produced a scoreline unreflective of the game itself.
Another odd-goal defeat by one of the title contenders. By such small margins is silverware decided.
If Sutton Saints set the examination - we passed. Dominated in all departments; well played everyone.
A great result after such a gap. A well deserved win from a wind-levelling game.
The back five were very impressive, which makes conceding a late goal even more annoying.
Well played again. Not to get any reward from our two encounters is galling.
A very well deserved win.
See last week's tweet. What a difference 7 days make.
The scoreline says it all. A fine all round performance.
With little between the teams this was a disappointing result, pushing for an equaliser we conceded a late second.
Let's not get carried away here, but who could not imagine a few weeks' ago where we are now. A fabulous all round performance.
The scoreline only indicates some of the disappointment, in a game that no-one disappointed. The home side know how fortunate they were. Gutted!
The mood in the changing room after the game did not reflect the scoreline. Eccles are a fine side, and even though the result was not in doubt, they had it far from their own way.
Not the best of starts, and not the best of finishes, but for very different reasons; but lots of good stuff in between. There are signs that we could hold our own in the premier division. Something that could not have been contemplated a month ago. Rob Hibberd once again showing the way forward.
Two-nil down after two minutes, injuries, and against the Cup Holders, we were staring into the abyss: but the team put in a commendable, talented and spirited performance.
Out of the ashes! Still lots to learn and improve upon, but from where we were two weeks' ago, so much new hope, let's push on!


stonebugaboo took me took me to the Atlanta braves game last night.
it was a lot of fun to hear him talk about his whole experience.
so great to see someones dream become their reality.
I know...I agree with Marshall. I don't think you could EVER look bad. GORGEEOUSSS! That evening sounds wonderful! MUAH!
I think that's the best thing ever when someone who really appreciates it and is a good person gets called up.
this is excitingg!!! it must be so cool watching someone play on a major league team!
i love hotels. but the ritz? DAYYUM they know how to represent!
I would have been happy just having that icecream! ha. Sounds like fun- I am sure Stone will make it one day!
bravessssssssss.... love them. I so miss going to braves games. I was a tomahawk girl once. YEP.
Looks so fun! I'm a big Phillies fan :) baseball is a lot more fun when you bf is sitting with you and not out on the field!
Found you while bopping around the blogging world and I must say I'm loving your blog!
I visited a braves game this past memorial day weekend when my reds were in town and had a blast!
Oh that's so great that you were able to actually go to a game together! At least this time you were both on the same side and sitting together.
woohooo go Bravos! I miss being able to go to their games!
It looks/sounds like you had a great day. And that's super awesome that your boyfriend's roommate is actually on the team! What a wonderful accomplishment!
I love this! I'm sure I told you but my hubs (who is 15 years older than me) played baseball in college and then went to play pro ball for the Milwaukee Brewers, but then he quit for a GIRL (and no, that girl was NOT me!!) but baseball was a huge part of his life so I can understand how you feel! Good thing we have two boys who can follow in his footsteps!!
He actually played in some tournaments the last few years in Phoenix with some ex big leaguers and they won and got these rings and stuff hahaha!! it was fun.
you two are SO the cutest btw. SO the cutest.

At Operis we are often asked what exactly it is we do when performing a model audit. The question arises in part given the general unfamiliarity about what comprises an audit, but also because not every audit is the same. Yes, we always 'check for errors', but a real understanding of our work requires a more thorough explanation.
Though every model audit has common features, the exact task at hand depends on the client's motive and the desired outcome of the model audit. In this article, we explain why model audits are performed, briefly outline the process and scope of a model audit and highlight the benefits of using a specialist model auditor.
An often-cited study by Raymond Panko underlines the frequency of spreadsheet errors, including a finding that 24% of spreadsheets created by spreadsheet-savvy MBA students carried an error of some sort. Given the complexity of project finance models the chance of errors in modelling spreadsheets – whether insignificant or catastrophic – is high.
It is worth highlighting that the purpose of the audit is not to say whether a deal is good or bad, but to confirm the spreadsheet reflecting the transaction is consistent with the agreements governing it. This confirmation provides the stakeholders with confidence to rely on the model's results, and possibly the green light a funder requires to sign-off a lending decision.
Many clients come to us for an independent opinion on a model. They do so to seek comfort that a financial model does what it sets out to do, and to prevent errors from derailing a project, with embarrassing consequences. However, they do not require scrutiny of every single detail in the model. Therefore, we perform not so much an audit as a high level review.
Internal teams can and should review the models they build, but they are unlikely to have the broad experience or objectivity of a specialist model review and auditing firm. At Operis we know where errors commonly creep in, and under the high level review we actively hunt for these errors and at the same time perform a general overview of the logic of the model. Our consultants are highly likely to catch the most common errors.
Importantly, under a high level review we do not check every single detail in the model as the complex nature of models makes this a time-consuming process. Essentially, we allocate a carefully judged amount of time to rule out most errors, in line with the Pareto or 80/20 rule. The result is a cost-effective review leading to a letter of support, affirming that after close review (but not intense scrutiny) Operis deems that the model is fit for purpose.
Under some scenarios, a letter stating that "the model is good enough" is simply not sufficient. Instead, the entire model needs to be checked. As a typical example, in the weeks leading to bid submission or financial close, a lender will require that a model is audited in the most comprehensive and formal way possible. A formal model audit is the only way forward when stakeholders require assurance that a financial model is free of material error and as fully representative of the real world.
When performing a formal model audit we combine our team's breadth and depth of expertise with an incredibly rigorous process that looks in close detail at the entire model, along with a number of project and financing documents related to the transaction which impact the model. So, although we examine the same points as we do under a high level review, we apply far closer scrutiny. In a formal model audit, we issue a report stating what is wrong with the model, leaving it for the client to correct, and repeat the process several times until the model is free of material error.
The final, audited outcome confirms that the finished model is free of material error, so much so that we can back our findings with a liability cap of up to £20 million GBP.
Considering the two forms of review described, the actual process is broadly similar irrespective of the motive behind the model audit. Here we outline the process we follow when performing an audit, with the next section covering in more depth the individual factors we scrutinise.
The Operis model audit process is proprietary and has been developed over a period of thirty years. It revolves around a central spreadsheet called the Audit Working Paper (AWP). We construct an AWP for each audit, clearly identifying the principal outputs of the client model and constructing various reproductions of the client's financial statements in a manner which provides the maximum clarity, using steps that are known to test results and highlight errors along the way.
Essentially the AWP is constructed to demonstrate that Operis can match the outputs of the client model by intentionally following a different method. It is a process of triangulation: finding a destination from two different source points. This is in contrast to a more commonplace model auditing method: that of checking formula cell by cell, a method which is both tedious and ignores the broader story the model is describing about the transaction.
The top-down process we follow allows our analysts to take account of the big picture. A bottom-up, cell-by-cell process can easily miss certain errors, though it will catch some. A simple example of an error missed by cell-by-cell analysis is a duplicate cost deduction: accounting for cost in one cell, with the same deduction repeated in a different cell, on a different sheet.
Merely examining the model cell by cell will not necessarily find an error in the overall result, and the likelihood that the duplication will be noticed can be particularly slim if the model is large, and if different individuals are tasked with evaluating different worksheets. Our process also reduces the reliance on perfect diligence by a single consultant as our time-proven method focuses on subjecting the most common modelling faults to two or three ways of testing, ensuring that errors are flagged at some stage.
When we engage with a client we discuss exactly what auditing work will be completed, but the agreed scope of work will broadly match one of the two audit categories defined earlier. The ground covered differs depending on the level of the review.
Review the logic and the integrity of the model in selected areas and consider whether the calculations made are reasonable and hold consistent with the assumptions in the model, including operational, functional and economic assumptions.
Provide a Formal Opinion Letter and attend financial close if required.
Importantly, it is only the more thorough scope of work tied to a formal model audit that leads to an agreed cap of liability. Operis typically offer amounts in the range of £5 million to £10 million as liability in connection to the Formal Opinion Letter that is delivered once the audit is complete.
Why use a specialist model auditor?
Project finance model auditing is available from a range of accountancy firms and even individual consultants. However, Operis is the only firm of size that truly specialises in model auditing – we perform over a hundred model audits for clients from around the world each year. Clients recognise the breadth of experience at Operis which is why we are able to regularly fill training courses where our consultants teach industry participants how to build and how to audit models.
Our concentrated focus on model auditing allows us to deploy a deeper understanding of the modelling process and we are confident that our audits uncover more issues than consultants or firms who, either due to a very broad service line or a lack of experience, simply cannot offer the same level of scrutiny. The ability to offer some of the highest liability levels in the market underlines the reputational weight of a model audit signed off by Operis.
Now that you have a better idea of what a model audit by Operis involves, and how the different requirements of our clients determine the task at hand, we invite you to contact us with any further questions. Our consultants are always available to you for advice on building models, auditing a finished model, and to advise on accounting and tax issues surrounding project finance.
Simon's endeavours focus on the business development activities within Operis, managing client relationships for the model audit, financial advisory, software and training businesses of the firm. He is a central point of contact for many banks and project sponsors seeking financial model reviews and due diligence. Email: swilliams@operis.com or call: +44 207 562 0484.

You Win Again - Celebrating The Music Of The Bee Gees Tour Dates
This incredible musical features the story of one of the greatest bands of our time, from their early triumphs to their devastating decline and on to their meteoric climb back to the top. . . to become the multi-million selling Bee Gees – the supergroup we know and love today.
The Gibb Brothers were not only masters of the concert show, performers of generation-defining songs, they also came to represent one of the greatest songwriter collectives ever. However, their journey to the top was never an easy ride. . .
Spanning the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties, You Win Again is gloriously set, the story unfolding against an intriguing backdrop of light and shade. The glittering, superstar songstresses who carried many of the biggest Gibb Brothers' penned songs to the top of the charts contrasted by the "dark external corruption" that blighted the three brothers' lives.
This wonderful night of musical theatre features not only incredible portrayals of Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb – it is also a wonderful, all-live production that brings their superb songs to life.
You Win Again – a brand-new musical telling the tale of the ultimate contradiction... It is the story of a family torn apart. A tale of brothers who came to learn the hard way that the whole is greater than the sum of its component parts, but who wrote truly beautiful songs that inspired a generation.
Theirs is a story that needs to be told!

Q: Creating XML childs, omit parent node Accordingly to MSDN docs:

You can also serialize an array as a flat sequence of XML elements by applying a XmlElementAttribute to the field returning the array as follows.

Desired XML schema:
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="ResponseLineTest" type="OrderLn" />

C#:
 [XmlElementAttribute("ResponseLineTest")]
 public OrderLn[] ResponseLine { get; set; }

However: Using .NET 4.51 I get this schema:
 <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="ResponseLine" nillable="true" type="tns:ArrayOfOrderLn"/>

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/serialization/controlling-xml-serialization-using-attributes#serializing-an-array-as-a-sequence-of-elements

HOW do I mark my C# classes and properties, so the WSDL output looks as above (and the documentation) ?

A: Necessary changes in your webservice definition
First of all the definition of the necessary complex type PlaceOrder does not mention an element of the type tns:OrderLine. I guess you have to change the definition of the element. Because your webservice is very loosely defined, it works like you 've shown in your question.
Here 's the current definition of the PlaceOrder request. This says, that the PlaceOrder element is required as request parameter.
<wsdl:message name="IService_PlaceOrder_InputMessage">
    <wsdl:part name="parameters" element="tns:PlaceOrder"/>
</wsdl:message>

The current definition of the PlaceOrder complex type shows, that there is no OrderLine element.
<xs:element name="PlaceOrder">
    <xs:complexType>
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="userToken" nillable="true" type="xs:string"/>
            <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="ediOrder" nillable="true" type="q1:order"/>
        </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

This means, that you can send everything in addition. Your webservice does not know an OrderLine element in the PlaceOrder context because it is not defined here. You have to change the definition of the PlaceOrder element into the following notation.
<xs:element name="PlaceOrder">
    <xs:complexType>
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="userToken" nillable="true" type="xs:string"/>
            <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="ediOrder" nillable="true" type="q1:order"/>
            <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="OrderLine" nillable="true" type="q1:ArrayOfOrderLine"/>
        </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

The definition of ArrayOfOrderLine is defined as follows:
<xs:complexType name="ArrayOfOrderLine">
    <xs:sequence>
        <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="OrderLine" nillable="true" type="tns:OrderLine"/>
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>

This definition says, that you want the OrderLine complex types with a parent node OrderLine. So the parent node occurs exactly as defined in your wsdl file. To omit the parent node you have to redefine the PlaceOrder complex type as follows:
<xs:element name="PlaceOrder">
    <xs:complexType>
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="userToken" nillable="true" type="xs:string"/>
            <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="ediOrder" nillable="true" type="q1:order"/>
            <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="OrderLine" nillable="true" type="tns:OrderLine"/>
        </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

This new definition shows that the "OrderLine" element cannot be named or can be named more than once. The parent node in this case is PlaceOrder.
A possible PHP example
Soap follows a strictly object-oriented approach. Based on this understanding, you also have to work with objects in PHP. First you need value objects (sometimes called entities) based on your xsd/wsdl definition. Keep in mind, that this example uses the redefined PlaceOrder definition.
<?php
namespace Webservice\Entity;
use ArrayObject;
use SoapVar;

class PlaceOrder
{
    protected $userToken;
    protected $ediOrder;
    protected $OrderLine;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->OrderLine = new ArrayObject();
    }

    public function getUserToken(): ?SoapVar
    {
        return $this->userToken;
    }

    public function setUserToken(SoapVar $userToken): self
    {
        $this->userToken = $userToken;
        return $this;
    }

    public function getEdiOrder() : ?SoapVar
    {
        return $this->ediOrder;
    }

    public function setEdiOrder(SoapVar $ediOrder): self
    {
        $this->ediOrder = $ediOrder;
        return $this;
    }

    public function getOrderLine(): ArrayObject
    {
        return $this->OrderLine;
    }

    public function attachOrderLine(SoapVar $orderLine): self
    {
        $this->orderLine->append($orderLine);
        return $this;
    }

    public function setOrderLine(ArrayObject $orderLine): self
    {
        $this->OrderLine = $orderLine;
        return $this;
    }
}

The above shown PHP code shows the PlaceOrder value object. As you can see all elements, which are defined in your webservice definition, occur as properties of this class. This class is an exact php implementation of the PlaceOrder complex type. You can say that all complex types are always PHP classes. Further the accepted method parameters are mainly SoapVar instances. This is important for the soap client because this guarantees the right xml structure at the end.
The OrderLine value object ...
<?php
namespace Webservice\Entity;

class OrderLine
{
    protected $AdditionalCustomerReferenceNumber;
    protected $LineID;
    protected $OrderedArticle;
    protected $PortalReference;

    // getters and setters here
}

With this two classes one can do a full webservice call with PHP. The following example is not testet and shows how to work with the PHP SoapClient class. The class is sometimes a bit deceptive and it takes a bit of work to get the right result at the end. But mainly this is the way how to work it.
<?php
namespace Wesbervice;
use Webservice\Entity\Order;
use Webservice\Entity\OrderLine;
use Webservice\Entity\PlaceOrder;
use SoapFault;
use SoapVar;

try {
    // this url contains the wrong defined PlaceOrder complex type
    $wsdl = 'https://uat-salesapi.ndias.com/service.svc?singlewsdl&version=27';

    $client = new SoapClient($wsdl, [
        'cache_wsdl' => WSDL_CACHE_NONE, // as long as you work on your wsdl
        'encoding' => 'utf-8',
        'exceptions' => true,
        'soap_version' => SOAP_1_1,
        'trace' => true, // enables tracing and __getLastRequest() / __getLastResponse()
        'classmap' => [
            'order' => Order::class,
            'OrderLine' => OrderLine::class,
            'PlaceOrder' => PlaceOrder::class,
        ],
    ]);

    // user token
    $usertoken = new SoapVar('bla', XSD_STRING, '', '', 'userToken', 'http://tempuri.org/');

    // edi order
    $order = (new Order())
        ->setBlanketOrderReference(new SoapVar(...))
        ->setBuyerParty(new SoapVar(...);

    $order = new SoapVar($order, SOAP_ENC_OBJECT, '', '', 'ediOrder', 'http://tempuri.org/');

    // compile our request parameter
    $parameter = (new PlaceOrder())
        ->setUserToken($usertoken)
        ->setEdiOrder($order);

    // order list objects
    $orderLine1 = (new OrderLine())
        ->setAdditionalCustomerReferenceNumber(new SoapVar(...))
        ->setLineID(new SoapVar(...));

    $orderLine1 = new SoapVar($orderLine1, SOAP_ENC_OBJECT, '', '', 'OrderLine', 'http://tempuri.org/');

    $parameter->attachOrderLine($orderLine1);

    $orderLine2 = (new OrderLine())
        ->setAdditionalCustomerReferenceNumber(new SoapVar(...))
        ->setLineID(new SoapVar(...));

    $orderLine2 = new SoapVar($orderLine2, SOAP_ENC_OBJECT, '', '', 'OrderLine', 'http://tempuri.org/');

    $parameter->attachOrderLine($orderLine2);

    $parameter = new SoapVar($parameter, SOAP_ENC_OBJECT, '', '', 'PlaceOrder', 'http://tempuri.org/');

    // the client knows the PlaceOrder method from the wsdl
    $result = $client->PlaceOrder($parameter);

    // the result is a stdClass structure, als long as the classmap parameter does not contain definitions of type to php entity classes
    echo "
";
    var_dump($result);
    echo "
";
} catch (SoapFault $fault) {
    echo "
";
    var_dump($fault);
    echo "
";
}

Conclusion
Your web service is very imprecisely defined. For this reason, you should simply rethink the definitions for the parameters and define them more precisely in the WSDL file. Then it works with PHP, too. PHP uses strictly web standards in its soap extension.

A: TL;DR Your problem is that .NET has two separate XML serializers, XmlSerializer and DataContractSerializer, and you are creating a WCF service, which uses DataContractSerializer by default.  You need to switch to using XmlSerializer by applying XmlSerializerFormatAttribute to your service contract.
Details as follows.  Say you have the following WCF service contract (not shown in your question):
public class Output
{
    [XmlElementAttribute("ResponseLineTest")]
    public OrderLn[] ResponseLine { get; set; }
}

public class OrderLn
{
    public string Order { get; set; }
}

[ServiceContract(Namespace = "Question59659046")]
[XmlSerializerFormat]
public interface IQuestion59659046Service
{
    [OperationContract]
    Output GetOutput(string input);
}

You would like the XML generated by this service to have a schema that includes a repeating sequence of <ResponseLineTest> elements, e.g. like the following:
  <xs:complexType name="Output">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="ResponseLineTest" type="tns:OrderLn" />
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
  <xs:complexType name="OrderLn">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="Order" type="xs:string" />
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>

And so you apply the XmlElement attribute to ResponseLine to force it to be serialized to XML in this manner.  But, when you generate a WSDL for your service, you instead get a schema that looks like:
  <xs:complexType name="Output">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="ResponseLine" nillable="true" type="tns:ArrayOfOrderLn" />
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
  <xs:complexType name="ArrayOfOrderLn">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="OrderLn" nillable="true" type="tns:OrderLn" />
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
  <xs:complexType name="OrderLn">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="Order" nillable="true" type="xs:string" />
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
  <xs:element name="OrderLn" nillable="true" type="tns:OrderLn" />

The schema includes an extra intermediate type ArrayOfOrderLn and the overridden element name "ResponseLineTest" was not used.  Apparently the [XmlElementAttribute("ResponseLineTest")] attribute was completely ignored.  Why might this be?
As it turns out, this behavior is documented in Using the XmlSerializer Class, which explains that your service is not using XmlSerializer at all, but rather a different serializer that ignores the [XmlElement] attribute:

By default WCF uses the DataContractSerializer class to serialize data types.
<<snip>>
At times, you may have to manually switch to the XmlSerializer. This happens, for example, in the following cases:

*

*When precise control over the XML that appears in messages is important...

In this case, precise control over the XML is required, specifically to force the ResponseLine property to be serialized without an outer container element.  However, serializing a collection without an outer container element is not supported by DataContractSerializer, so you must switch to using XmlSerializer by applying [XmlSerializerFormat] to your service contract:
[ServiceContract(Namespace = "Question59659046")]
[XmlSerializerFormat]
public interface IQuestion59659046Service
{
    [OperationContract]
    Output GetOutput(string input);
}

Now the WSDL generated for your service will be as required.

The pounds value has plummeted this morning after reports that UK inflation has fallen to a one-year-low.
Sterling was already low against the euro but has dropped from €1.13956 to €1.13250 to the pound today.
The current exchange rate is currently €1.13394 to the pound (at time of writing). This will come as bad news to Brits hoping to get a cheap early summer holiday in Europe.
Finance experts had expected CPI to rise to 2.5% last month, but it remained unchanged at 2.4%.
John Dolan, Senior Dealer at the forex specialists Fexco Corporate Payments, commented: "For the headline rate of inflation to remain unmoved in the face of such a big jump in oil prices can mean only one thing – homegrown inflation is softening, and fast."
"With wage rises slowing, the UKs inflationary pressure is dissipating – meaning the Bank of England has little imperative to raise rates quickly.
"In fact with Britains brittle economy growing at a halting pace and the retail and construction sectors stuck firmly in reverse, the Bank has plenty of reasons to delay pulling the interest rate trigger."
He continued: "An August rate hike remains on the table, just, but any further slowing of the economy or softening of inflation will keep the doves firmly in charge on Threadneedle Street.
Tom Stevenson, investment director for Personal Investing at Fidelity International, believes the BoE has missed the opportunity to raise interest rates this year.
So how can you get the best exchange rate for your European holiday?
Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star Online, Retail Director at No1 Currency, Simon Phillips said: "If youre yet to book a holiday, you could consider going somewhere further afield this year where your pound will stretch further.
"Regardless of the rate, holiday goers should be increasingly savvy when buying foreign currency.
"While the exchange rate remains an important factor when choosing a holiday, its not the only one.
"When changing your sterling, always make sure to compare currency rates online to get the best possible deal."

Q: Add-in rejected however the testing notes cover the issue the reviewer encountered Our add-in was rejected due to the reviewer not reading/understanding our testing notes. It was rejected as 'not working' in Word 2013 however, the document is never saved even though we mention in our testing notes in multiple places you need to save the document for the add-in to work correctly.

When testing whether the panel has updated the SharePoint metadata of the document being edited, please make sure both the document is re-saved back to SharePoint and that you've waited at least up to 60 seconds for SharePoint to update.  The parser (which is the SharePoint code to update the metadata from the document) takes up to 60 seconds to update metadata in the SharePoint library.

If whilst editing a document in Word Application (not Online) and AutoSave is turned off, you need to complete a Ctrl-S or File|Save for metadata changed to be reflected in SharePoint's Library view.
After updating the metadata in the add-in panel, a File|Save MUST be completed even though the panel flashes "Saved" on every metadata edit. The flashing of "Saved" is the panel updating the document metadata, however, this does not mean that SharePoint is automatically updated, especially if AutoSave is turned off or using an older version of Word as old versions do not support AutoSave On feature.
Complete a File|Save, switch to SharePoint and refresh the library view to see the metadata changes reflected back in to SharePoint.

While we do mention the AutoSave feature - and that feature is not available in Word 2013 - I would expect a Microsoft Office Add-in Reviewer to have a basic understanding of what features are available in the Office product that they are validating an add-in against.

Questions:
How can we ensure this does not happen in the future? We are trying to launch a product here and having to resubmit and wait another week each time is becoming a little tedious.
Is there a way to get in contact with Microsoft other than on StackOverflow for queries like these to allow us to work with the review team?

The Really Dangerous Book for Boys
Introducing a new collection from PopSci's truly mad scientist
By Mike Haney | Published Apr 9, 2009 6:39 PM
Theo Gray's Mad Science
Without a doubt, the most fun thing I've worked on in my five-plus years at PopSci is the Gray Matter column. Nearly every month since mid-2002, contributor Theo Gray has come up with new ways to illuminate the world of elemental chemistry, often by setting things on fire. But far from your average YouTube-loitering pyromaniac, Gray combines sharp, lively writing with a gifted professor's knack for making the complex simple. And he never fails to find an original spin on a demonstration: explaining the power of rapid evaporation by making ice cream with a fire extinguisher, or showing how a self-heating soup can works by making a self-heating hot tub, or illustrating the energy locked up in bacon by building a steel-cutting bacon torch.
So I was thrilled when, last summer, we realized that we were finally approaching the 50-column mark that we always said would trigger a book. And I was even more excited when Gray sold his publisher (Black Dog and Leventhal) on the idea of expanding and redesigning all the columns to better show off the stunning photography that too often gets crowded with words and shrunk to postage-stamp size in the issue. We also added how-to steps for almost every experiment, from making glass in a charcoal grill to shattering glass drops into a billion pieces with your finger.
The book, Theo Gray's Mad Science: Experiments You Can Do at Home but Probably Shouldn't, is packed with things that can actually maim you, as well as projects you'd let elementary-school kids do unsupervised, with crystal-clear warnings for each along the way. I'm thrilled at the way it turned out. And if you don't care what I think, here are some of the early blurbs from people smarter than me:
"This is a fabulous book, and a real education, too — a beautiful introduction to hands-on chemistry. Theo Gray brings us dozens of experiments in minute, clear, and loving detail, and each one becomes a door onto the marvels of how chemicals react. Whether he is showing us how to make table salt from its violent elements, or, in a quieter vein, to make one's own nylon thread or 'lead' pencils, Gray's encyclopedic knowledge and contagious enthusiasm transport us to deep intellectual realms, while never sacrificing a sense of wonder and, above all, fun."
— Oliver Sacks, author of Awakenings, Musicophilia, Uncle Tungsten, and many others
"I've spent 22 years working with Theo Gray on creating software, seeing him find simple ways to do the seemingly impossible. You're in for a treat here when he applies the same creativity and insight to revealing the science of everyday things."
— Stephen Wolfram, creator of Mathematica® and author of A New Kind of Science
"What a magnificent book. It's gorgeous, playful, and draws you in. Every single photo shows not only a deep love of science in the abstract, but also a tinkerer's love of the STUFF of science; the tools and glass, the clay and metal, and all the things that make science accessible to everyone."
— Adam Savage, star of MythBusters
"What good is this Nobel Prize around my neck if it doesn't produce admiration for science writers such as Theo Gray, whose skillful work helps convert young students into serious researchers."
— Leon Lederman, winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize in Physics
"Theo's Mad Science is destined to inspire and spark the imaginations of the next generation of makers, tinkerers, engineers and mad scientists!"
— Phillip Torrone, Senior Editor of Make magazine
"Theodore Gray has attained a level of near superhuman geekery that the rest of us can only mutely admire."
— Cecil Adams, The Straight Dope

In gioventù seguendo la scena musicale di Londra alla fine del 1970 è diventato un disc jockey e musicista in un gruppo punk.

Dopo aver lavorato al City Limits e a IPC Magazines, Preston si trasferì in Australia nel mese di ottobre del 1993. Inizialmente ha lavorato per IPC Magazines e corrispondente TV australiana. In seguito ha scritto per un certo numero di pubblicazioni commerciali australiani di proprietà della società madre della IPC, la Reed Business Publishing.

Nel 1996, Matt Preston ha iniziato a scrivere recensioni per una nuova rivista di Melbourne, Inside Melbourne, un ruolo che ha ricoperto fino al suo trasferimento a The Age nel 2000 dove ha continuato a scrivere recensioni.

Preston divenne un recensore di cucina in un certo numero di pubblicazioni, tra cui Taste, un supplemento dell'Herald Sun, The Courier-Mail e The Daily Telegraph versione Australia e per MasterChef Magazine versione australiana; come critico culinario e recensore di ristoranti, nei quotidiani britannici The Guardian e Time out di Londra. Preston é stato un collaboratore settimanale per Epicure tra il 2000 e il 2009, scrivendo una recensione ogni settimana di un bar o di un ristorante. Ha anche scritto una rubrica settimanale in The Age ed è stato redattore capo di Vogue Intrattenimento & Travel. Preston ha fatto molte apparizioni nel TV australiana.

Preston è meglio conosciuto come il co-conduttore e giudice in MasterChef Australia. Lavora anche come editorialista culinario in un certo numero di pubblicazioni, tra cui The Taste un supplemento a colori settimanale dell'Herald Sun.

Preston comprende molto bene l'italiano e lo parla discretamente (nonostante abbia ironicamente dichiarato di avere una "pronuncia orribile" quando è stato ospite a MasterChef Italia).

Masterchef Australia
Nel 2009, Preston, insieme a Gary Mehigan e George Calombaris diventa uno dei giurati della prima stagione di MasterChef Australia un reality show per trovare miglior cuoco dilettante australiano.
MasterChef serie numero uno e due hanno vinto il TV Week Logie per la miglior serie di Reality dell'Australia.
Preston ha giudicato tutte e otto le serie di MasterChef Australia (2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 e 2016).

È stato giudice in Celebrity MasterChef (2009), la prima serie di Masterchef Junior (2010) e Masterchef All Stars (2012) sempre con Mehigan e Calombaris.

Nel 2013 Preston ha partecipato a MasterChef Australia: The Professionals con Marco Pierre White. Lo spettacolo ha debuttato il 20 gennaio 2013 e successivamente ha vinto il prestigioso premio AACTA come Miglior Reality Show del 2014
È giudice negli Awards dei 50 migliori ristoranti del mondo.

Here is another video from 2011 that show how far we've come on the bridge water scene.
These videos are not listed on my channel (for obvious reasons).
It took lot of discussion to determine what color and what technique we were to use here. Plus all the infrastructure needed to make the area look good without distracting from the bridge.


We have lots of game places that have old stock like that.Try at a flea market,or another good place is blockbustercause i've seen them put really old games up for sale when the game isn't worth the 5$ you pay to rent it.
Try Ebay. In case you haven't been there it's www.ebay.com I buy Playstation games there all the time. You can find just about any game that you want there, if not, it will show up there sooner or later. I have had no problems with any transactions so far. Just be sure to check the sellers rating before you bid.
