Q: Parsing trouble with amotoen I'm trying to write a grammar to parse a simple language to describe drum loops, using Clojure and amotoen.  The language looks like this:–
# Test Loop
# this is a comment

BPM: 100

Samples:
 BD: bd.wav
 SD: sd.wav
CHH: chh.wav
CSH: csh.wav

Body:
 BD: /---/---/---/---
 SD: ---/--/--/-/--/-
CHH: --/---/---/---/-
CSH: /---------------

# this is another comment

I've defined the grammar as follows:–
(def g {
        :Whitespace '(| \space \newline \tab \, :Comment)
        :_* '(* :Whitespace)
        :_ [:Whitespace '(* :Whitespace)]
        :Comment [\# '(* (% \newline)) \newline]
        :BPM [\B \P \M \: :_* '(* :Number) \newline]
        :Number '(* :Digit)
        :Digit (a/lpegs '| "0123456789")
        :Samples [\S \a \m \p \l \e \s \: \newline '(* :SampleDef)]
        :SampleDef [:_* :Name \: :_* :File \newline]
        :Name '(* (% \:))
        :File '(* (% \newline))
        :Body [\B \o \d \y \: \newline '(* :Pattern)]
        :Pattern [:_* :Name \: :_* '(* (| \/ \-)) '(| \newline \$)]
        :Document [:_* :BPM :_* :Samples :_* :Body :_* \$]
       })

When I call pegasus on each part of a sample file individually, they are parsed correctly.  For example:–
(pprint
  (a/pegasus
    :Body
    g
    (a/wrap-string
      "Body:\n
        BD: /---/---/---/---\n
        SD: ---/--/--/-/--/-\n
       CHH: --/---/---/---/-\n
       CSH: /---------------\n")))

However, when I call (pprint (a/pegasus :Document g (a/wrap-string (slurp "sample.orc")))), all I get is nil.  Similarly if I replace (a/wrap-string (slurp "sample.orc")) with a string containing the text contained in sample.orc.
So, my question is: can anyone spot what's wrong with my grammar?  I'm all out of ideas, and I've been staring at it for a few days now.  I'm sure it's something embarrassingly simple, but I just can't see it!
Thanks in advance.

A: The :Samples rule consumes the :Body, :File can be empty and end-of-input should be marked by :$ not \$. Here's an amended grammar:
(def g
  {
   :Whitespace '(| \space \tab \, :Comment)
   :n* '(* (| \newline :Comment))
   :_* '(* :Whitespace)
   :_ [:Whitespace '(* :Whitespace)]
   :Comment [\# '(* (% \newline)) \newline]
   :BPM [\B \P \M \: :_* '(* :Number) \newline]
   :Number '(* :Digit)
   :Digit (a/lpegs '| "0123456789")
   :Samples [\S \a \m \p \l \e \s \: \newline '(* :SampleDef)]
   :SampleDef [:_* :Name \: :_* :File \newline]
   :Name '[(% \:) (* (% \:))]
   :File '[(% \newline) (* (% \newline))]
   :Body [\B \o \d \y \: \newline '(* :Pattern)]
   :Pattern [:_* :Name \: :_* '(* (| \/ \-)) '(| \newline :$)]
   :Document [:n* :BPM :n* :Samples :n* :Body :n* :$]
   })

;; sample.orc contains the example input from the question text
(pprint (a/pegasus :Document g (a/wrap-string (slurp "sample.orc"))))

;; output:

Thought I'd do a quick gallery post of the new arrival. I've already plastered Facebook and my blog with some images, but thought they're fairly easy to miss for passers-by, so here we are!
Still has the protective sheets on the rear carpet!
No rear seatbelts, something I'll have to rectify. The fronts are grey/black block patterned, so finding rears to match that will be nigh-on impossible!
Hold on Kitch, my 'originals' as in tyres (Michelin MXL) on the 14 did 72K front 108k rear, I'd complain to Michelin..

Well they still advertise a long life..
It's the sunlight that degrades them and makes them crazed and split.
I had four on my triumph herald, for 12 years always parked the same way round, the two on the sunny side are completely shot, but the two on the dark side are perfect !!
Your seatbelts don't look like this do they?

In that case, it's good news as these belts in my car (front and back) came from a Mk. 2 TRS spec car. It was white with tabac interior (the one GaryC broke). You'll need to work out if it is TRS spec or white tweed that has these belts in them but you should be able to get hold of a set.
They bolted straight in the back of the car in about half an hour with the rear boot trim removed.
P.S. Your 16TRS looks great by the way. Hope you get it on the road next year. I used to have A966 XRL, a 1984 16TRS, looked just the same.
No Mk1 came with a radio fitted from the factory, they were all dealer fit.
looks great kitch good luck with it. I'm sure you must be one of a very few people who can get it ship shape and I look forward to seeing it in the metal sometime! In fact id love a photo of it next to mine and James' 14...I know how sad am I..
Nor did the early MK2's. My brand new E reg GTi came without but was quickly fitted with unit/speakers of choice when I got it home.
Cheers for the heads up James.

Muslim professionals laud commission to probe by-election violence
Source: Ghana| Myjoyonline.com| Oswald K Azumah| oswald.azumah@myjoyonline.com
Armed men stormed La Bawaleshie[a community in the constituency] on voting day
The Ghana Academy of Muslim Professionals has lauded the creation of a commission of inquiry into the violence that ensued during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election violence.
In a statement, the association condemned the episode adding that "Ghana had over the years gained international recognition on account of her democratic credentials, and we as a nation must not engage in any activity that could undermine this enviable recognition."
"As a concerned religious body interested in peace and development in the country, the GAMP deems it appropriate to add its voice to the numerous voices of individuals and Civil Society Organisation to condemn in no uncertain terms the violence meted out on innocent citizens," the group wrote.
GAMP said it is hopeful the "commission will be impartial in discharging its duties and would ensure that the outcome of the inquiry puts an end to vigilantism in the country."

Emile Short, 2 others to investigate Ayawaso West Wuogon violence
The statement follows disturbances that were recorded at La Bawaleshie, a suburb of Accra on January 31 in the early hours of the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election.
Armed men reportedly stormed the residence of the opposition, NDC candidate and engaged in a shooting spree.
Some of the men were seen wearing National Security apparel and riding in police SWAT vehicles.
The NDC announced a withdrawal from the contest as a result, citing intimidation by the government.
The ruling NPP however, accused the NDC of a charade, saying that they are withdrawing because they knew they would lose anyway.
Meanwhile, pressure continues to mount on the Minister of State in charge of National Security to resign after he admitted to ordering the operation of the supposed national security operatives.
He told Joy News he was not at liberty to disclose the details of the operation.
The Emile Short-led commission was sworn in by Vice President, Mahamudu Bawumia to investigate the disturbances. The commission has a month's mandate.

PUBLIC SPHERES & THE FUNCTIONS OF PROGRESSIVE ART INSTITUTIONS
Simon Sheikh
In times of expansive global capitalism, corporatization of culture, the demolition of the welfare state and the marginalization of the critical left, it is crucial to discuss and assess modes of critique, participation and resistance in the crossing fields of culture and politics – specifically, the intersection of political representation and the politics of representation, of presentation and participation. What is, for instance, the relationship between artistic practice and political representation? Or, put in another way, the difference between representing something and representing someone? What is the relationship between the claimed autonomy of the artwork, and claims for political autonomy? If art, be it the single work or the whole institution, can be conceived as a meeting place, how can we mediate between representation and participation? And, finally, what are the similarities and differences between representation and power?
Such questions are crucial to contemporary art institutions, be they 'progressive' or 'regressive' in their self understanding and in the view of others (both inside and outside the artworld), since art institutions are indeed the in-between, the mediator, interlocutor, translator and meeting place between art production and the conception of its 'public.' I here deliberately use the term 'public' without qualifying (or quantifying) it, since it is exactly the definition and constitution of this 'public' as audience, community, constituency or potentiality that should be the task of the so-called 'progressive' institution: a place that is always becoming a place, a public sphere. Historically, the art institution, or museum, was the bourgeois public sphere par excellance, a place for rational-critical thought and (self)representation of the bourgeois class and its values. As aptly described by Frazer Ward, "The museum contributed to the self-representation of and self-authorization of the new bourgeois subject of reason. More accurately, this subject, this "fictitious identity" of property owner and human being pure and simple, was itself an interlinked process of self-representation and self-authorization. That is, it was intimately bound to its cultural self-representation as a public." [1]
The abstract and ideal projection of how a public sphere formulates itself and its subjects across social differences, despite the obvious contingency of this subject (as classed and gendered, to start with), has of course become somewhat normative, as theorized by Jürgen Habermas in The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere. A model that has since been heavily criticized, mainly through the efforts of Oskar Negt and Alexander Kluge. In their book, tellingly entitled Public Sphere and Experience, they describe the bourgeois public sphere as a receding horizon, and an ideal that does not correspond to our everyday interactions with, and access to public spheres – in plural rather than singular. Rather, they claim, our lives and sense of publicness, individuality and community is heavily compartmentalized and fragmented into multiple (public) spheres or spaces that are dependent on different experiences, mainly in an antagonism between bourgeois ideals and proletarian realities. We no longer conceive of the public sphere as an entity, as one location and/or formation as suggested by Habermas. Instead, we have to think of the public sphere as fragmented, as consisting of a number of spaces and/or formations that sometimes connect, sometimes close off, and that are in conflictual and contradictory relations to each other. There not only exist public spheres (and ideals here-of), but also counter-publics. If we can, then, only talk about the public sphere in plural, and in terms of relationality and negation, it becomes crucial to understand, situate and reconfigure art's spaces – institutions – as 'public spheres'.
When establishing the artworld as a particular public sphere, we must explore this notion along two lines; firstly as a sphere that is not unitary, but rather conflictual and a platform for different and opposionary subjectivities, politics and economies: a 'battleground' as defined by Pierre Bourdieu and Hans Haacke. A battleground where different ideological positions strive for power and sovereignty. And, secondly, the artworld is not an autonomous system, even though it sometimes strives and/or pretends to be, but regulated by economies and policies, and constantly in connection with other fields or spheres, which has not least been evident in critical theory and critical, contextual art practices. In contemporary art practices we can see a certain 'permissiveness', an interdisciplinary approach where almost anything can be considered an art object in the appropriate context, and where more than ever before work with an expanded praxis, intervening in several fields other than the traditional art sphere, and as such touching upon such areas as architecture and design, but also philosophy, sociology, politics, biology, science and so on. The field of art has become a field of possibilities, of exchange and comparative analysis. It has become a field for thinking, alternativity, and can, crucially, act as a cross field, an intermediary between different fields, modes of perception and thinking, as well as between very different positions and subjectivities. It thus has a very privileged, if tenable and slippery, and crucial position and potential in contemporary society.
It is, then, perhaps not surprising that such art institutions are under constant scrutiny from funding and ruling bodies, be they state controlled or private. What are, after all, their goals? Do they compromise a critical and oppositional space, or are they merely on the vanguard of new modes of working and thinking, and there for the taking for corporate models of production and capitalization? As I mentioned in the beginning, we are witnessing a closing of potential critical spaces, or at least a regulation of them in terms of law if perceived as outside governmental control, and a limitation of funds and/or imposition of a managerial model taken from the corporate world, in the case of government run institutions. Institutions seem caught between a rock and a hard place, as it were, and here I have not even mentioned the pressures internal to the artworld. Ironically, financial cutbacks from governmental bodies are usually done in the name of the public: the public sphere is narrowed in the name of the public – public here meaning people, and people meaning taxpayers. The people, it is said, are not generally interested in something as particular as art, unless this art can seen as part of the culture, or more accurately, entertainment industry. The public sphere is here conceived of in terms of populism: Give the people want they want, which is always already bread and circus.
We see, then, a double movement diminishing the so-called autonomy of art and the artworld: one the one hand, its own particularism, or historical strive for autonomy, from being an arm's length away from the political sphere has indeed removed it from the trust and goodwill of political funding bodies. On the other hand we see that the dissolvement of the bourgeois public sphere has resulted in a decrease of interest from politicians for an upkeep of the bourgeois public sphere per excellance, the art institution. With political populism on the rise, especially, the traditional space for critical-rational thinking is becoming more and more unwanted. But also within the welfare model are we witnessing new contingencies and limitations, mainly a surge towards merging culture with capital. Obviously, we do not want to maintain, claim or return to the bourgeois category of the art space and subjectivity, nor to the classical avant garde notions of resistance, which is why we need not only new skills and tools, but also new conceptions of 'the institution'. I would suggest that we take our point of departure in precisely the unhinging of stable categories and subject positions, in the interdisciplinary and intermediary, in the conflictual and dividing, in the fragmented and permissive – in different spaces of experience, as it were. We should begin to think of this contradictory and non-unitary notion of a public sphere, and of the art institution as the embodiment of this sphere. We can, perhaps, think of it as the spatial formation of, or platform for what Chantal Mouffe has an agonistic public sphere: "According to such a view, the aim of democratic institutions is not to establish a rational consensus in the public sphere but to defuse the potential of hostility that exists in human societies by providing the possibility for antagonism to be transformed into 'agonism'." [2]
If we want to address the problems the art institution is facing without reverting to a historical and unusable model and rhetoric, I think that an emphasis on the democratic potentials of the art space is paramount. Democracy is, arguably, the uniting, empty signifier of our times, and as such something insurmountable and impossible to deny or defy openly. In the public language game, no one can argue against democracy within democracy, and by insisting on the art institution as the place for democracy and, indeed, its everlasting agonism, I believe one can counter both populism and managerialism. This emphasis indicates how our notions of audience, the dialogical, various modes of address and conception(s) of the public sphere(s) has become the all important points for our institutional constitution, and how this entails both the ethical and the political: Art that is not just concerned with the artworld, but with the world.

American Homeowners Overwhelmingly Want Energy Choice
By accessiblecleanenergy on March 10, 2014
Data Reveals Vast Majority of Americans Support Renewables, 73 Percent Open to Receiving Clean Energy From a Provider Other Than Their Utility
Clean Edge, Inc. and SolarCity (Nasdaq:SCTY) today announced the results of an inaugural national poll of U.S. homeowners regarding clean-energy products and services. The poll found that a majority of homeowners, 69 percent, want more choices when it comes to their energy and electricity supply. National polling firm Zogby Analytics was commissioned to conduct the poll. The new report, "U.S. Homeowners on Clean Energy: A National Survey," is available for download at www.solarcity.com/insideenergy and www.cleanedge.com/reports.
The poll confirmed that a significant majority of Americans (88 percent of homeowners) support renewable energy. It was also among the first to ask homeowners directly if they would be interested in solar for their own homes — 62 percent said yes. This is particularly notable, given that there are more than 75 million owner-occupied housing units in the U.S., and fewer than 500,000 photovoltaic installations.1
The SolarCity-Clean Edge poll also reveals the persistence of a myth that clean-energy products are not affordable. Less than half of all homeowners nationally understand that solar power is more affordable today than it was three years ago, despite the reality that prices for solar panels have dropped by more than half over this time period, and solar electricity prices can beat utility rates in a growing number of locations.
While homeowners generally view their current electric utility favorably, 73 percent of homeowners also said they would welcome clean energy provided by an entity other than their utility. Some utilities have attempted to impose fees and taxes on solar customers as a way of suppressing rooftop solar deployment, but energy providers should take note. Three out of four poll respondents voiced opposition to these types of efforts, saying that utilities should not be allowed to enforce restrictions on on-site energy systems. Though the sentiment was shared across all demographics, it was strongest among Republicans, Conservatives and middle-aged or elderly homeowners.
"Other surveys have looked at general green-consumer activity, but ours is among the first to focus on U.S. homeowners – a group that makes the majority of clean-energy residential purchases," says Clean Edge managing director Ron Pernick. "The shift to clean-energy solutions was deep and wide across all demographics. Indeed, consumers not only want choice, but also want to protect their right to install their own distributed energy and storage systems."
Additional Key Report Findings:
Economics are driving adoption. Respondents cite zero up-front costs and ongoing cost savings as the top two reasons for considering solar for their homes.
Approximately 70 percent of all homeowners consider or investigate the sustainability of big-ticket items when making purchasing decisions, and more than half are more likely to take sustainability considerations into account today than they were three years ago.
The most popular planned clean-energy purchases in the next year are LED light bulbs (31 percent of homeowners), followed by smart thermostats, double- or triple-pane windows, hybrid cars, and Energy-Star rated hot water heaters.
Over the past decade, clean-energy products and services – including solar PV, utility-scale renewables, hybrid electric vehicles, and green buildings – have experienced double-digit compound annual growth rates more akin to smartphones and the Internet than that of the energy and transportation sectors.
More than 1,400 U.S. homeowners participated in the survey. Respondents were randomly selected to answer questions about renewables, energy efficiency, clean transportation, energy storage and related topics. All interviews were completed in January 2014. The margin of error for the survey is =/- 2.7 percentage points. SolarCity and Clean Edge plan to release the homeowner survey annually.

Will the next-gen Subaru Impreza Sport use Toyota hybrid system?
The time has come for the unveiling of the next-generation Subaru Impreza. We've managed to get the latest news on the Impreza 5-door hatchback model as well as an artist's rendering.
The next-gen Impreza Sport uses the Subaru Global Platform. It is reported that the design will be quite close to that of the Impreza 5-Door Concept, which was unveiled at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show. It appears that there will be some redesign for the mass market model, including changes to the headlights and air ducts. The rendering shows changes to the kick-up design at the rear quarter window.
In addition to the updated 2L NA FB16 Boxer 4-cylinder DOCH engine and 1.6L turbo engine, there's a good chance there will be a Toyota hybrid model.
It is not known whether the new model will use the Impreza Sport name. The Japan debut is expected to be made in November, 2016.

Make your own travel activity kit from a DVD case! This DIY activity case is a perfect craft to make for the kids to keep them entertained on long journeys or rainy days. It's easy to make from an old DVD box and the possibilities are endless!
This colouring and drawing travel kit is perfect for keeping the children happy on a long journey!
You need to remove the circle on the inside of the case to create a flat surface. Use a sharp knife to make a hole in the plastic DVD case at the edge of the raised circle, then use scissors to cut it out. Try not to cut the clear plastic on the outside of the box.
Take a sheet of card and cut it down so that it is the same size as the right hand section of the DVD case. Then cut a piece of felt that is the same width as the card, but only half the height. Use the glue gun to add glue to the two shorter side edges, and the bottom edge, and stick it to the bottom of the card. The edge of felt with no glue should be at the top, creating a pocket. This will hold the colouring pencils.
Glue the right hand side of the DVD case and stick down the pocket that you created in step 2. Then cut some white paper so that it is the same size as the left hand side of the case, then push it underneath the two plastic tabs to hold it in place. Add your colouring pencils to the pocket and your DIY travel colouring kit is finished!
This DIY whiteboard is perfect for long journeys! The kids can create endless amounts of pictures without you having to pack loads of paper.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 from the colouring case tutorial above, to remove the raised circle in the DVD case and create a pocket for your whiteboard pens.
Then cut a sheet of white paper to be the same size as the left hand section of the case. Put this sheet of paper inside a clear plastic sleeve and then trim the sleeve down to be the same size as the paper. Make sure you leave at least two sides of the plastic sleeve in tact so that it doesn't fall apart. This will create the whiteboard.
Put the whiteboard underneath the tabs on the left hand side of the DVD case to hold it in place. Then glue the pocket for the pens into the right hand side of the case. Cut a small rectangle out of a sheet of felt and place it on top of the pocket - this will be the whiteboard eraser. Add your whiteboard markers and your DIY whiteboard is complete!
This DIY dress up doll craft is a great activity for little girls! The felt sticks to itself so the clothes stay in place on the doll, and you can make as many different outfits as you want!
Repeat step 1 of the colouring case tutorial to remove the raised circle in the DVD case. Then measure the height of the DVD box and cut out a body shape slightly smaller than that height out of some skin coloured felt.
Cut out a yellow sheet of felt to make it the same size as the left hand part of the DVD case, and put it underneath the plastic tabs. Then glue your body shape to this felt, add some hair and eyes and draw on a mouth to create your doll.
Cut out a sheet of coloured card to make it the same size as the right hand part of the DVD case. Then attach two pieces of string to the card, gluing only the ends of the string. This will create the doll's wardrobe. Glue the wardrobe into the right hand section of the case.
Cut out some clothes from different sheets of felt, this could include dresses, skirts, tops, shorts and so on. Then use mini clothespin pegs to hang the clothes up on the pieces of string.
This travel tic tac toe is a great craft to make for the kids. This is sure to keep them busy on plane journeys, car rides, or even staying in on a rainy day!
Repeat the first part of the DIY colouring case to remove the raised circle from the DVD box. Then cut out a piece of felt to make it the same size and the left hand part of the box. Cut four thin strips of black felt and glue them on to this sheet of felt to create the grid for the tic tac toe. Push this grid underneath the two tabs on the left of the DVD box to hold it in place.
Cut out a sheet of card to make it the same size as the right hand part of the box. Cut out two smaller rectangles from a sheet of felt. Take one and glue three edges, then stick it to the top of the card. Make sure you have the non-glued edge at the top, creating a pocket. Repeat this with the other piece of felt to create another pocket underneath.
Glue the sheet of card with the two pockets on to the right hand side of the DVD case. Then cut out 6 small hearts and 6 small stars (or your choice of shapes) out of different coloured felt. Glue one heart to the front of the top pocket and one star to the bottom pocket. Then put the rest of the hearts in the heart pocket, and the stars in the other. When you want to play tic tac toe, simply open your case and take the pieces out of the pockets and onto the grid!
To make the cover for your activity case, remove the cover that is currently in there and trace around it onto a coloured sheet of paper. Then decorate the right hand side and place it back into the DVD case inside the clear plastic.

Fresh medical evidence revealed as Kathryn Smith appeals her conviction for murdering her toddler daughter
She was sentence to life in prison with a minimum term of 24 years for killing 21-month-old Ayeeshia
Kathryn Smith outside Birmingham Crown Court (Image: PA)
A mother serving life behind bars for the brutal killing of her toddler daughter in Burton ought to have her murder conviction overturned after fresh evidence emerged, a court has been hearing.
Lawyers representing Kathryn Smith, who was found guilty of murder and child cruelty after her 21-month-old daughter Ayeeshia Jane Smith was beaten and stamped to death at her home in Britannia Drive, in Stretton.
The 24-year-old was ordered to serve at least 24 years behind bars at Birmingham Crown Court in April last year for the killing which shocked the country.
Ayeeshia Smith was pictured with bruises in the months leading up to her death
Smith, previously of Overseal, is challenging her murder conviction at the Court of Appeal, in London, with her lawyers arguing it is "unsafe" conviction.
The Lord Chief Justice, Lord Thomas, was due to announce the court's ruling in March after the case was heard in November.
Burton YMCA reveals the date for its popular sponsored sleep-out when people sleep rough like homeless people
However, the decision was delayed after her lawyers revealed new evidence had come to light as part of a serious case review into Ayeeshia's death. The review, which is being conducted into the alleged failings by social services at Derbyshire County Council, will not be revealed until Smith's case has concluded.
Ayeeshia was pictured with cuts
Barrister John Butterfield QC said a doctor's opinion which was now available cast doubt upon some of the evidence given by medical experts during her original trial.
He told the court today, Wednesday, July 12, there was a "misunderstood entry" in Ayeeshia's medical records, which meant her weight had been wrongly recorded in the months before her death.
Police work with colleagues in Lithuania in bid to identify woman who died in A38 incident
This, he said, was "profoundly troubling" as it gave jurors the incorrect impression that the child's weight had "plunged" dramatically while she was being cared for by her mother.
Matthew Rigby was found guilty of causing or allowing the death of Ayeeshia
He argued that, in the context of a trial where Smith and Ayeeshia's stepdad, Matthew Rigby, were each blaming the other for her death; this evidence could have caused serious prejudice to Smith.
Rigby, 23, was found guilty of causing or allowing Ayeeshia's death but was cleared of murder and child cruelty. He is currently serving a 42-month sentence.
Mr Butterworth said the weight loss issue was "particularly concerning that it went to her detriment in a cut-throat case."
Kathryn Smith and her daughter Ayeeshia
The barrister also said it had emerged that a blister on Ayeeshia's finger was sustained when she was in the care of someone else.
But Christopher Hotten QC, for the Crown, argued the convictions should be upheld, despite the new evidence.

He said Smith's own statements to police had placed her alone with Ayeeshia around the time the toddler suffered the fatal injuries.
Lord Thomas, sitting with Mr Justice Wyn Williams and Mr Justice Goss, said the court would give its ruling on Smith's appeal at a later date.
He said that, if Smith's conviction challenge fails, a decision would then be made on whether to cut her minimum jail term.
July 15, 2012: Ayeeshia is born to 19-year-old Kathryn Smith who was no longer in a relationship with Ricky Booth, the father.
Feb 27, 2013: Kathryn attended a conference. It was agreed to keep Ayeeshia on a safeguarding plan under the category of emotional abuse. Three days earlier her boyfriend had smashed three doors.
June 5: A court hearing was held. Kathryn said that on June 2 her boyfriend came to her flat, and she refused him entry, taking Ayeeshia from flat. Power to place with foster carer.
From June to October: Ricky Booth saw Ayeeshia at a health care centre once a fortnight. The foster carer noted Ayeeshia was weary of men but came to trust the foster carer's husband, she was fussy with food, and woke in the night but her feeding pattern improved and she started to gain weight.
September 4: An advocates meeting takes place. All parties agreed Kathryn has made progress.
September 9: Kathryn was allowed unsupervised visits.
September 18: Foster carer said Ayeeshia's routine had not been adhered to when she was with her mother.
October 2: A court hearing agreed Ayeeshia would return to Kathryn
October 24: Rigby and Smith are officially in a relationship.

Uncovering depression in teen boys is not always easy. The teenage years can be particularly difficult for your son, as he is navigating hormonal changes as well as changes and inconsistencies with how he is perceived. As an example, some people treat teenagers like children, while some treat them more like adults; this discrepancy can cause confusion and frustration for your child. It can be a difficult time, and having some emotional ups and downs is perfectly normal. You may discover, however, that these ups and downs are more than just a bad mood or a bad week.
Your child could be battling depression.
Depression in teens is very similar to depression in adults. The difference is that teenagers often lack the necessary life experience to put things into context, so they can have a more difficult time managing their emotions on a day-to-day basis as a result. It can lead to long-term feelings of sadness or in more severe cases, teen suicide.
Your teen may be experiencing depression for a number of reasons, including everything from poor grades, bullying, romantic rejection to confusion over sexual orientation. To make sure your child gets the help that he needs and deserves, it's important to be able to identify the symptoms and understand what measures to take to resolve his issues, whether minor or life-threatening.
The difficult part is determining the severity and frequency of your child's symptoms because what teenager hasn't displayed at least a few of these characteristics before? If your teenage son is engaged in any of the above behaviors consistently -- or any of the more severe behaviors like suicidal thoughts or substance abuse -- then you may want to explore treatment options or consult a professional. If your child is displaying a few of the minor behaviors occasionally, then he might be more in line with a normal spectrum of emotions.
When dealing with your teenage son's depression, it's important to know that not all depression is the same. Your son's disposition could improve with just a few small adjustments, or you may have to explore more substantial options like a residential treatment center if you notice more extreme warning signs like suicidal thoughts or violent outbursts.
These behaviors are just a sampling of a what you could encourage your son to do to create a healthy lifestyle. They combat social isolation and encourage feelings of well-being, self-esteem, and independence. Try to discuss these activities with your child in a non-judgmental, open way.
If you find that your son isn't responding to your encouragement -- or he is but isn't experiencing noticeable benefits -- you may want to consider seeking the services of a psychiatrist or psychologist who can conclusively diagnose your son. He could have depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, or any other number of psychological disorders that may require therapy and medication to treat effectively.
There are many different types of therapy available and many different therapists to administer them. Try to get your child's input as you make decisions. The more committed your child is to treatment, the more likely he is to experience relief. Including him in the decision-making process is a great way to encourage a higher level of commitment.
If therapy and medication alone don't seem to solve your child's problems, you may want to consider a residential treatment center such as the Liahona Academy, where your child can receive comprehensive care and supervision in order to create the best possible long-term recovery plan for your child.
Teen depression can be an incredibly overwhelming challenge for a family. It's important to keep in mind that treating your child is a process. He may not get better overnight, and it's important to stay positive, patient, and understanding. By identifying depression symptoms, developing a parenting style that supports depression recovery, and by seeking professional help when necessary, you can ensure your child gets the best-case outcome as he battles with depression.


'Tree, what day is it today? asks Grasshopper.' So begins his discovery of the days of the week in an exciting new way. His wise old friend Tree reveals each day to Grasshopper as a unique and wonder-filled experience. They are joined by a host of lovable visitors who crash, snore, wiggle and sing their way into Grasshopper's week. The characters are based on New Zealand native wildlife, adding another level of interest to the story. Author Tania Norfolk says she is inspired by the immediacy of the child's world: 'Renaming the days of the week within the story is a way of reflecting this.' Grasshopper's Week highlights the wonder in the everyday and the natural world around us. The book is the first collaboration for the sister/brother team. A unique and heart-warming view of the days of the week, with beautiful illustrations, Grasshopper's Week is a timeless picture book to delight young children and warm the hearts of 'big kids' too.
Tania Norfolk lives in Nelson with her husband and two boys. She loves to write, make things, dance, snuggle up with a good book, and read and make up stories for her boys. Tania has worked in education for many years, both as an English language teacher and in tertiary and public library settings. She is currently working in promotions, organising events and marketing resources for Tasman District Libraries. She is a huge fan of picture books, both old and new, and is thrilled to have collaborated with her brother, illustrator Chris Norfolk, on Grasshopper's Week, her first published children's book.

Depart Sitka in a couple of hours, next stop Petersburg on Mitkof Island, so I thought I do a quick post with mostly pics.
It been a while since we've done any Forest Service roads to nowhere so up the Harbour Mountain Road we went to check things out. Nice views and a little walk when we reached the end of the road.
Little cold doesn't stop these folk.
We also visited a bear sanctuary. When a bear cub is orphaned in Alaska their are currently three choices - let the cub fend for itself (usually ends badly), kill the cub (quick and easy solution), or move the cub to this facility (currently the only one in Alaska). The problem with the last option is that once a bear reaches this facility Alaskan law prohibits its release back into the wild. The folks who run the Sitka operation are lobbying to create a rehabilitation program similar to the way Canada handles orphaned/injured bears for release.


In early 2016 we launched a new brand for FreeStar Financial Credit Union (formerly Central Macomb Community Credit Union) in Michigan. This was a full naming, tagline development and visual design project. The idea behind the theme and look pays homage to the credit union's military history while looking forward, fulfilling the dreams and aspirations of their members through education, service and convenience.

'One Last Bite': The inside story of Jack Nicklaus' final Muirfield Village redesign
By: James Colgan May 31, 2021
Jon Rahm's opponent had him on the run. It was Sunday afternoon at the 2020 Memorial Tournament, and the Spaniard was on the cusp of arguably the biggest win of his young career. Clinging to a four-stroke Sunday lead on the back nine, Rahm trod carefully. On the surface, he glistened with sweat. Beneath it, he was locked in the late stages of a high-stakes chess match.
Inside the Muirfield Village redesign: 6 things to know about the Memorial venue's new look
Rahm's sparring partner, Muirfield Village, was no pushover. Conditions were tough, with pins that were barely on the putting surfaces. Thick rough and a stiff breeze left pros hacking and cussing their way to scores in the high 70s and 80s. From home, golf fans watched with glee.
Gone for at least a weekend were the days of final-round 63s on the PGA Tour. To win on Sunday, Rahm would need to play by the rules of tournament host and Muirfield Village designer Jack Nicklaus — he'd have to defeat not only the field but also the course.
The greens were reshaped in part to allow for more hole locations.
One Last Bite/GOLF.com
None of that mattered to the group of a few dozen who'd gathered on the front nine. As Rahm metaphorically battled Muirfield Village, the crew behind him was literally tearing it apart. One by one, the group walked over to Muirfield's preciously manicured green complexes and began uprooting them. The sun had not yet set on the year's Memorial Tournament, but for these workers the focus already had shifted to 2021.
This week, the fruits of that group's labor will be on display as the Memorial returns to the newly redesigned Muirfield Village. The effort was spearheaded by Nicklaus himself, with a supporting cast that included Chris Cochran from Nicklaus Design and Muirfield Village director of grounds operations Chad Mark to help see the vision through to reality. (Nicklaus Design and GOLF.com are affiliates of 8AM Golf.)
"When my dad first mentioned that he wanted to come back to Muirfield Village, I shook my head," Nicklaus' son, Jack Jr., said in One Last Bite, a new documentary from GOLF.com that chronicles the redesign (see top of this article). "I was like, 'Are you kidding me, Dad? This is one of the greatest golf courses, in my opinion, of all-time.' But then as I started hearing his thoughts and his process on what he wanted to do, it was absolutely amazing. He's always had the ability to step back and see things from 30,000 feet."
New bunkering, fairways and green surfaces will greet the field at Muirfield Village this week.
Technically, this is only Muirfield's second formal renovation, but the number of tweaks the course has undergone since it first opened in 1974 is far greater. Nicklaus — the course's creator, designer, benefactor and one-time course-record holder — has maintained a reputation for regularly altering the setup in order to properly combat the advancements of the pro game.
The two-year, two-part renovation process began on the back nine in 2019 and shifted to the front nine on the Sunday of Rahm's win.
"My legacy really is here," said Nicklaus, who is 81. "This is what the world sees on television. This is what the players see. This is set up for people to come here, to see it and play."
Nicklaus has long viewed the course as a part-passion project, part-legacy-builder. He's been involved with Muirfield Village in some form or another since the mid-1960s, when he bought the land upon which the course sits with the goal of building a gift for his hometown, Columbus, Ohio.
All but two holes received architectural updates.
One Last Bite/GOLF.com (both)
Nicklaus and Chris Cochran on the job.
The most recent edits reflect all that has changed in golf in the time since. Structural changes, including the installation of a sub-air system, were made to the entire course, and all but two holes saw architectural updates. The course now plays 163 yards longer, tipping out at just shy of 7,400 yards. In addition, each of Muirfield Village's 18 greens was resurfaced from a bentgrass/poa annua hybrid to solely bentgrass, and every green increased its overall pinnable area.
For the membership, Nicklaus says his team examined each tee box to ensure the course maintained consistent strategic themes and challenges from each set of tees. As a result, the forward tee boxes are nearly 250 yards shorter.
The Nicklaus team worked to create a course that is simultaneously more playable for its everyday membership and more challenging for the game's best players. That meant widening fairways in the landing areas most amateur golfers reach while tightening them in the spots where the longest hitters fly their drives. Pin positions will also play a key role in the process of making the course more playable (or more toothy), depending upon the audience.
"I don't think when we're done here it's going to be a tougher golf course, I think it's going to be a better golf course," Nicklaus said. "That's what I want here. I want a better course for our membership. Make sure the members can play the golf course, that I haven't added anything stupid for them. But also that I have the ability to move the tees back, hide the pins and have the Memorial Tournament."
This week, the new-look venue will have its coming-out party when seven of the top 10 players in the world — Rahm among them — descend on Muirfield for the 2021 Memorial. The defending champ will be tested in ways that he was not a year ago.
Fairways were widened for shorter hitters and tightened for bombers.
Or at least Nicklaus hopes that'll be the case. After all, that's why he has regularly tweaked Muirfield Village since the 70s, and why he sent a crew out to tear up the greens on tournament Sunday last July. Building a course is easy, building a course-design legacy is not — even for the greatest player ever.
"When somebody comes in from the outside to play Muirfield, I'd like for them to say not, 'Where can I go play tomorrow?'" Nicklaus said. "But more like, 'What time can I get out there tomorrow?'"

Pittsburgh Olympian
Persistence, positive attitude launched Olympian Herb Douglas Jr.

Pittsburgh native Herb Douglas Jr. won a bronze medal in the 1948 Olympics and started the Jesse Owens International Trophy Award.
Marylynne Pitz
mpitz@post-gazette.com
As he traveled America's segregated South in the 1950s and early '60s, Olympic medalist Herb Douglas did not use a Green Book, a travel guide carried by African Americans.
Instead, the Pittsburgh native relied on distributors of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer.
"Those guys recommended good hotels and restaurants. I worked with four white men in the beginning." One of them "wanted me to call him Mr. Roy," Mr. Douglas recalled.
Now 97 and living in Philadelphia, the winner of the 1948 Olympic bronze medal for the long jump is the subject of a new pictorial biography.
"Launched: The Life of Olympian Herb Douglas" is a visual scrapbook filled with vivid memories. The author is Anne P. Madarasz, chief historian at the Senator John Heinz History Center in the Strip District. She also directs the curatorial division and the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum.
Hazelwood, 1920s
Born in 1922, Mr. Douglas was nurturing big athletic dreams when Jesse Owens, winner of four gold medals in the 1936 Olympics, visited an elementary school in Pittsburgh.
"When I met Jesse Owens, I was 14. I actually thought I'd be as good as he was," Mr. Douglas said, chuckling, during a recent interview at the Heinz History Center.
Owens urged him to get an education, something he never forgot. Mr. Douglas' intense drive was rooted in his Hazelwood upbringing. At age 8, he ran errands for his mother up and down a steep hill on Hazelwood Avenue, strengthening his legs.
He played on the Gladstone Junior High School basketball team and trained hard, praying to win an Olympic medal. He attended St. John the Evangelist Baptist Church on Sylvan Avenue and graduated from Taylor Allderdice High School and the University of Pittsburgh.

His parents, Ilessa and Herb Douglas Sr., worked hard, persevering in an era when many African Americans struggled to get by.

"My dad taught me how to be positive. I worked for him for three years. He was like a coach — stringent," Mr. Douglas said.
An auto mechanic who also owned a parking garage in Shadyside, his father treated every car like it was his own, he said.
When Herb Jr. was 5, his father suffered a stroke that left him blind. In despair, he urged his wife to leave him and find a man capable of caring for Herb Jr. and his sister, Barbara.
With faith and fortitude, Ilessa Douglas held her family together. She rearranged the house so her husband could move easily, became his eyes at the garage and kept the books for the business. Gradually, her husband regained his confidence, had a series of guide dogs and continued to work.
"She was his eyes for 51 years," Mr. Douglas said.
He is part of a generation of pioneering African American athletes that began with Jesse Owens and includes Connellsville native John Woodruff, who won a gold medal in the 1936 Olympics, and Harrison Dillard of Cleveland, who won four gold medals in 1948 and 1952.

"There's this sharing of knowledge and this way of improving the experience and reach of the people that come after them," Ms. Madarasz said.
Mr. Douglas, she added, is "one of the first African American athletes who successfully transitions from the world of sports to a larger world of business and civic life and not because he is promoting another product but because his skill is building a business."
In the South, while building a market for Pabst Blue Ribbon, Mr. Douglas also pushed the brewery to hire African Americans as salesmen and drivers.
"The impact he had on economics nationally is important. It's a different side to the civil rights story. These are people who are building new job opportunities," Ms. Madarasz said.
Later, he worked for two other beverage businesses, Schieffelin & Co. and Moet Hennessy.
"He's Herb Douglas, the successful salesman. He's educated and he knows how to get results," Ms. Madarasz said.
Mr. Douglas Jr., co-founded the Jesse Owens International Trophy Award with Owens' widow, Ruth and their three daughters in 1981. They wanted to honor Owens and created this annual, charitable celebration where the biggest sports icons of yesterday and today gather to continue his legacy.

Q: How pass BeanShell param from one Thread Group to a Counter in another Thread Group I need to pass a value from one Thread Group to another Thread Group, in particular I have to pass a value from BeanShell sampler to Counter. This is my BeanShell code:
Counter.Calendar c =
Calendar.getInstance();
long now = c.getTimeInMillis();
c.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0);
c.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
c.set(Calendar.SECOND, 0);
c.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
long passed = (now - c.getTimeInMillis())/1000;
vars.putObject("startTime",passed);
${__setProperty("start",vars.getObject("startTime"))};

and I have to use passed value into Counter as Start value.I set ${__P("start")} or ${__property("start")} but neither of the two worked.
I tried to use this method also into BeanShell Sample of another thread group, but i had error. In the same Beanshell it works and sets variable.
How can I use properties or other way to pass this value?
thanks
PS: If I ${__setProperty("start",123)}; it works (other thread receives 123), else it doesn't see the variable. Also if I put beanshell sapler in the same thread have a problem: given that Counter is processed before sampler, the counter value isn't updated.

A: Properties can only be strings. Try something like this:
props.put("start", Long.toString(passed));
On the receiving side you will have to convert back to a long.
For sharing data that is not a string, you can use the BeanShell shared namespace, bsh.shared.

Whose hiring contract was completed within the borders of Ohio.
Where the employer's main (supervising) office is located within Ohio.
Limited liability company (LLC) acting as a sole proprietor.
Limited liability company (LLC) acting as a partnership.
Individual incorporated as a corporation (also called a sole-owner corporation).
Ordained or associate ministers of a religious organization.
Remember, if you choose not to cover yourself and you are injured at work, BWC will not provide coverage. And other insurance may not cover your work-related disability or medical bills.
If you do elect to cover yourself, this coverage is in addition to or is supplemental to your current policy. Employers can apply for elective coverage within the initial application, Application for Ohio Workers' Compensation Coverage (U-3) or at a later date with the Application for Elective Coverage (U-3S). You must complete an additional application for elective coverage to cover owners or ministers you wish to add at a later date. Elective coverage is effective the date we receive the U-3S and the required premium installment payment.
We will cancel the elective coverage if you fail to report at least the minimum required amount of payroll for any reporting period that the coverage is in effect. Employers are responsible for the payment of premiums up to the date they ask to cancel their elective coverage.
For all individuals electing coverage, the reportable wages are subject to a minimum and maximum, which is based on the statewide average weekly wage calculated annually by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. These changes became effective July 1, 2006. View the minimum/maximum payroll reporting requirements.
Independent contractors and subcontractors may elect coverage for themselves if they are sole proprietors or partners. If an independent contractor or subcontractor controls the selection of materials, traveling routes and quality of performance of another worker, that independent contractor or subcontractor is considered an employer and, as such, is required to provide workers' compensation coverage for that worker.
These companies can be considered corporations, sole proprietorships or partnerships for tax purposes. Whatever the LLC considers itself for tax purposes determines whether the LLC owner must have workers' compensation coverage. If the LLC considers itself a sole proprietorship or partnership, coverage is optional for the owner. If the LLC considers itself a corporation, the owner must cover himself or herself.
The family farm must be founded for the purpose of farming animal or plant products intended for consumption by human beings or animals (excluding nurseries and flower production enterprises).
A majority of the shareholders must be related within the fourth degree of kinship (siblings, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, great aunts, great uncles or first cousins) or be the spouse of such persons.
No shareholder may be a corporation.
At least one of the related persons within the corporation must reside on or actively operate the farm.
View the minimum/maximum payroll reporting requirements.
Legislation changed the definition of employee in Section 4123.01(A)(2)(c) of the Ohio Revised Code to eliminate required coverage for an individual incorporated as a corporation when there is a sole owner and no employees. As described above, individuals incorporated as a corporation may elect to cover themselves by completing and filing an Application for Elective Coverage (U-3S).
An individual incorporated as a corporation is defined as a sole owner corporation with no employees and refers only to the owner of the corporation in terms of being excluded as an employee. This includes any corporation (C-Corp, S-Corp, LLC Corp reporting as a C-Corp or S-Corp) as long as there is a sole owner with no employees.
BWC provides two coverage options for ministers. First, churches may provide elective coverage for ministers under the religious organization's policy by submitting a signed Application for Elective Coverage U-3S. They must submit a new U-3S each time they want to add coverage for a new minister. Ministers are considered employees, so churches must report all remuneration for them. No minimum or maximum payroll limits exist.
Second, if a church decides not to cover its ministers under the religious organization's policy, the ministers may elect to establish their own coverage as sole proprietors using the Application for Ohio Workers' Compensation Coverage (U-3). View the minimum/maximum payroll reporting requirements.

Q: Ruby - chaining methods and returning array I have some methods for a class which return arrays like ["1", "3", "2", "6", "2"]. It is ok that these are string arrays, not numeric. I have another method that takes an array, and turns it into a single string like this 1 3 2 6 2.
class Turn
  def initialize
    @rolls = 1
    @dice = []
  end

  def roll
    @roll = []
    x = 5 - @dice.length
    x.times do |i|
      @roll[i] = rand(6) + 1
    end
    @roll  # ["1", "3", "2", "6", "2"]
  end

  def show
    @dice  # ["1", "3", "6"]
  end

  def line(something)
    temp = ""
    something.each do |x|
      temp << x + " "
    end
    puts temp   # "1 3 6 " or "1 3 2 6 2 "
  end
end

Then I want to be able to chain methods together so I could do
first = Turn.new
first.roll.line
first.show.line

However, I really don't know how to do this, and I haven't been able to find how online. I have seen self get returned, but I can't really figure out what it does. The code in the line method works if I move it into another method, so the problem is really just dealing with the chaining and returning.
If someone could not only help with code, but with how chaining works with regards to return values and how returning self works, that would be awesome.
Thank you!

A: Since your #roll and #show methods return an array, you'd need to define a method Array#line to actually be able to do first.roll.line.
Btw, there's already Array#join which also joins array elements together to a string, just like your #line method, so you could as well use first.roll.join(' ') and get rid of your #line method.
