Q: Deploy .NET Core 2 Console App I would like to publish .NET Core 2 with Visual Studio 2017 15.4 – I have created console app and do only Console.Write and Read for test purpose. Next I would like to publish this for windows so I have changed project properties to:
<RuntimeIdentifiers>win10-x64</RuntimeIdentifiers>

When I'm trying to do publish with default stings I have and error "Publish failed" and output have this error "Could not copy the file "obj\x64\Release\netcoreapp2.0\win10-x64\ConsoleApp6.dll" because it was not found."
Another thing is that I can find exe in "bin\x64\Release\netcoreapp2.0\win10-x64" but after run there is no text I have written in my app but I can see "host-options:" and couple of options?
I don't know why error occurs and why  I see "host-options:" after run the app?

A: It seems to be a bug when using custom folders for different platforms with publishing. I have the same issue.
The error indicates that it searches the ConsoleApp6.dll in the path obj\x64\Release\netcoreapp2.0\win10-x64.
But in my case, the .dll file was in obj\x64\Release\netcoreapp2.0\.
My workaround was to copy the .dll file manually to obj\x64\Release\netcoreapp2.0\win10-x64 (and other platform folders) and then publish the app again.
This also resolves the "host-options:" problem you mentioned when running the app. This simply appears because it could not publish / build it successfully for the given platform.

This is HMIC's second assessment of the effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy with which the Metropolitan Police Service keeps people safe and reduces crime. PEEL (police effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy) gives you information about how your local police force is performing in several important areas. It does this in a way that is comparable both across England and Wales, and year-on-year.
The extent to which the Metropolitan Police Service is effective at keeping people safe and reducing crime requires improvement.
The extent to which the Metropolitan Police Service is efficient at keeping people safe and reducing crime is good.
The extent to which the Metropolitan Police Service is legitimate at keeping people safe and reducing crime is good.
Read more about my assessment of the Metropolitan Police Service's performance this year, including exceptional events and where I would like to see improvements next year.
I am satisfied with most aspects of the Metropolitan Police Service's performance in keeping people safe and reducing crime, but there are some areas that need to be improved in order to provide a consistently good service.
The Metropolitan Police Service is effective in preventing crime and anti-social behaviour and has demonstrated a strong commitment to protecting vulnerable people. In particular, officers throughout the force see tackling domestic abuse as a high priority. However, more work is required in order to provide a consistent response so that vulnerable people – especially vulnerable children – are always kept safe. Furthermore, the quality of some investigations still needs to improve, although I am encouraged to see that the force is taking steps to achieve this through the implementation of its 'Mi investigations' initiative.
With its track record of achieving savings, an understanding of demand and a balanced budget, I am satisfied that the Metropolitan Police Service is well prepared to face its future financial challenges.
I am also pleased with the steps the Metropolitan Police Service has taken to improve its legitimacy. The force has a good understanding of the diverse communities of London and is working hard to improve engagement across the city. The force is making considerable efforts to increase the diversity of its workforce so that it is more representative of the communities it serves. Although this work has not yet been as successful as the force would have liked, I hold the view that it will produce results in the longer term which will help improve the ethical and inclusive culture of the organisation.
I am satisfied that the strategic direction provided by the chief officer team is clear and that the Metropolitan Police Service has a good understanding of the scale and complexity of policing London. The force has a good understanding of areas it needs to develop further to meet future challenges.
The Metropolitan Police Service provides policing services to Greater London. Although there are areas of acute deprivation within the force area there are also areas of extreme affluence. Around 8.5 million people live in a predominantly urban setting. The force covers the urban conurbation of Greater London, including the City of Westminster. The resident population is ethnically very diverse, with 40 percent from black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, and is increased by a very large number of university students and the very large numbers who visit, socialise in, commute into, or travel through the area each year. The transport infrastructure includes major rail stations, public transport hubs and major airports.
The proportion of areas in the Metropolitan Police Service that are predicted to present a very high challenge to the police is lower than the national average. These are characterised by social deprivation or a concentration of commercial premises (including licensed premises), and in some cases both.
London remains the focal point for public demonstrations in England and Wales. Each year the force polices a large number of high-profile demonstrations. Examples during the last year include those against the state visit of the Chinese premier and the anti capitalist 'Million Mask March'.
The terrorist attack on 13 November in Paris led to increased public concern about the terrorist threat to London. The force responded by increasing the availability of armed police officers in London and is planning to increase the overall number of armed police within the force.
During 2015, the force has made a considerable reduction in the number of buildings from which it operates, to reduce costs and, in some cases, raise money through their disposal. Public access to the force's services has been maintained by the use of alternative locations and internet-based reporting. The force is introducing mobile technology to increase efficiency by supporting the work of officers when away from police buildings and to mitigate the impact of building closures.
The force undertakes some activities on behalf of the police service across England and Wales. For example, the force leads the national policing response to counter-terrorism and provides protection to members of the royal family and senior government figures. It also takes the lead in some major investigations such as the disappearance in 2007 of Madeleine McCann.
In our effectiveness inspection, we judged the Metropolitan Police Service to require improvement in the way in which it keeps people safe and reduces crime. It responds effectively to prevent crime and anti-social behaviour and works well with partners to keep most people safe, although it should improve the consistency of how it keeps safe vulnerable people, particularly children. The quality of some crime investigations and the implementation of integrated offender management require improvement. The force is good at understanding and tackling serious and organised crime, including gangs. This is the first year HMIC has graded forces on their overall effectiveness so comparison of their year-on-year effectiveness is not possible.
The Metropolitan Police Service is well prepared to face its future financial challenges. The force understands demand, has balanced the budget and has a good track record of achieving savings. Currently resources match demand and the force has the foundations in place to align its resources in order to meet future demand within its projected budgets. In last year's value for money inspection, which considered how forces had met the challenge of the previous spending review period, the force was judged to be good.
HMIC found many good examples of the Metropolitan Police Service seeking to create an ethical and inclusive culture, and feedback from officers and staff was very positive and supportive.
The force has made considerable efforts to improve the diversity of officers and staff, although at the time of inspection these had achieved limited success. The force understands and engages successfully with the people it serves. The force has a good understanding of the diverse communities of London, and is working hard to overcome barriers to engagement.
The force complies with most elements of the Best Use of Stop and Search scheme. Taser use is fair and appropriate in the force.
The force's senior leadership team has set a clear strategic direction for the force and has clearly communicated the values, behaviours and ethics it expects of its workforce. The force has a clear understanding of its current state of leadership and has systems in place to help it to understand how its workforce perceives and understands its leaders. It uses this information to make changes which it communicates to the workforce.
The force understands that its leadership requires further development if it is to successfully lead and implement a major change programme.
HMIC undertakes other inspections in addition to the PEEL programme. Since the last PEEL assessment there have been 19 reports published on inspections that included the Metropolitan Police Service. More detail on some of these inspections can be found under the Other inspections section.
In March 2015, we examined how effectively the force identified victim and witness vulnerability in criminal case files. We found that, in the majority of cases we examined, the files contained an adequate summary of the key evidence and the interview conducted. However, special measures to help vulnerable witnesses give their best evidence were only evident in half of the cases.
Our inspection of so-called honour-based violence, forced marriage and female genital mutilation revealed that the Metropolitan Police Service needs to improve both the prevention of such offences and its enforcement taken against perpetrators.
how the force improves its response to missing and absent children through developing its understanding of the nature and scale of the issue.
In May 2016 a mayoral election will take place in London, which will coincide with the second police and crime commissioner elections in the majority of force areas across England and Wales. Scrutiny of the Metropolitan Police Service is conducted by the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime rather than a police and crime commissioner.
HMIC judges that overall the Metropolitan Police Service requires improvement in the way it keeps people safe and reduces crime.
It responds effectively to prevent crime and anti-social behaviour and works well with partners to keep most people safe, although it could improve the consistency of how it keeps safe vulnerable people, particularly children. The quality of some crime investigations and the implementation of integrated offender management requires improvement. The force is good at understanding and tackling serious and organised crime, including gangs. This is the first year HMIC has graded forces on their overall effectiveness so comparison of their year-on-year effectiveness is not possible.
The Metropolitan Police Service is committed to preventing crime and anti-social behaviour. Officers and staff throughout the force generally understand well this commitment, working well with partners to solve problems early to prevent escalation.
Delays in allocating crimes to officers for investigation, together with a shortage of trained detectives and some basic equipment for frontline officers, is undermining the force's overall investigation performance. The force is managing the highest risk offenders effectively and preventing them re-offending. But the force's management of volume crime offenders across London boroughs is inconsistent.
The force is good at tackling serious and organised crime. It has a well developed understanding of the threat and risks posed by it; and has in place plans and mechanisms to target the most harmful and dangerous crimes and offenders.
The force generally provides a good service in identifying vulnerable people and responds well to them, so the public can be confident that many victims are well supported. However, we found several areas where improvement is needed to ensure the service is consistent, and the force keeps vulnerable people safe, particularly children. The Metropolitan Police Service requires improvement at keeping people safe and reducing crime.
HMIC found that the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is well prepared to face its future financial challenges. The force understands demand, has balanced the budget and has a good track record of achieving savings. Currently resources match demand and the force has the foundations in place to align its resources so that they meet future demand within its projected budgets. In last year's value for money inspection, which considered how forces had met the challenge of the first spending review period, the force was judged to be good.
HMIC judges the Metropolitan Police Service to be good. It has a thorough understanding of current demand and is managing its finances prudently. In addition, the force has a good track record at meeting financial challenges through change.
There is a very clear understanding of the end results and costs of policing activity. The force is working together with other organisations and the public to manage and reduce demand and continue to achieve the target to reduce recorded crime, set by the Mayor of London's police and crime plan 2013-2016.
The force is making further savings and efficiencies through the continued success of the change programme and its associated plans to improve technology, rationalise its estate and to increase the productivity of its workforce.
There are currently skill gaps for the force that are being addressed through training and work has started to understand what capabilities the force will need in 2020 and beyond.
The force recognises that it will need to change its operating model in the medium to long term and is committed to making itself more representative of the characteristics of the London communities it serves. Its latest intake of recruits is more representative of London than ever before.
Good arrangements for the governance of the MPS are provided by the Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC). The two organisations also share information and assumptions to progress change that will meet future demand within the predicted finances.
The MET Change 2 change programme to provide an affordable and sustainable operating model for the force in 2020 is well developed with assumptions used to underpin financial plans that are reasonable and prudent.
HMIC found many good examples of the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) seeking to create an ethical and inclusive culture, and feedback from officers and staff is very positive and supportive.
The force has made considerable efforts to improve the diversity of officers and staff, which has been generally unsuccessful to date.
We found that the force understands and engages successfully with all the people it serves. The force has a good understanding of the diverse communities of London, and is working hard to overcome any barriers to engagement.
The force complies with most elements of the Best Use of Stop and Search scheme. However, the force has only recently started identifying whether the object searched for was found and this is not yet published. Taser use is fair and appropriate in the MPS.
HMIC found many good examples of the MPS seeking to create an ethical and inclusive culture, and feedback from officers and staff is very positive and supportive.
We also looked at the work the MPS is doing to improve the diversity of its officers and staff. The force fully recognised that this was an issue and has made a series of attempts to; in particular, recruit more people from a black, Asian or minority ethnic background.
Most people we spoke to are aware that the force has made an effort to improve diversity, although, as the force would acknowledge, the results of these attempts have been disappointing.
The Code of Ethics is mainly understood by officers and police staff, and many managers take wellbeing issues seriously, even if this is not consistently applied across the force.
When HMIC looked at how well the force understands and engages with all the people it serves, we found evidence that the MPS understands and engages successfully with all the people it serves. The force has a good understanding of the diverse communities of London, and is working hard to overcome any barriers to engagement. Officers use a range of effective approaches to identify public views. Social media, which officers use widely to engage with communities, is an example of this.
Stop and search and Taser are two ways that the police can prevent crime and protect the public. However, they can be intrusive and forceful methods, and it is therefore vital that the police use them fairly and appropriately. HMIC found that the force complies with most elements of the Best Use of Stop and Search scheme. However, the force has only recently started identifying whether the object searched for was found and this is not yet published. Taser use is fair and appropriate in the MPS.
The force's senior leadership team has set a clear strategic direction for the force and has clearly communicated the values, behaviours and ethics it expects its workforce to exhibit. The force has a clear understanding of its current state of leadership and has mechanisms to understand how its workforce perceives and understands leadership. It uses this information to make changes which it communicates to the workforce.
The force is good at ensuring leaders across the force have a clear sense of what is expected of them. The force also understands that its leadership requires further development if it is to successfully lead and implement a major change programme and instil desired values and behaviours.
This section sets out the reports published by HMIC this year that help to better understand the performance of the Metropolitan Police Service.
The Met is the biggest police service in the UK and the largest city force in the European Union, serving a population of 8.17 million – up 12 percent in a decade.
London is a city with over 270 nationalities and 300 languages. The force is striving for its workforce to be representative of the communities.
MOPAC is the strategic oversight body that sets the direction and budget for the Metropolitan Police Service on behalf of the Mayor. It ensures the Metropolitan Police Service is run efficiently and effectively and holds it, and other criminal justice services, to account on behalf of Londoners.

Even now, after 12 years, I still have difficulty connecting with my daughter and that terrifies me. She has grown into such a beautiful vibrant little girl with extraordinarily strong thoughts and a hyperdrive to succeed. Being a child with autism, ADHD and dyslexia has not slowed her down one bit. But it has run me over, broken me, and forced me to face the bitter truth about what kind of woman I was. I so admire her strength to continue to pursue life with great intensity despite the multiple hurdles she must overcome daily. But that was not always the case.
I remember watching her at the early age of one and thinking she is so ahead of the game. It caused me to reflect on my own childhood. I failed kindergarten and was called quote "a hopeless case" by my first kindergarten teacher. She told my mother this with great vigor at a parent-teacher conference as I sat directly beside her.
The first week of school, she pulled my desk away from my peers off into a corner all my own, where I spent the entire year. She held great disdain for me, and I was painfully aware of it. My second year of kindergarten was magnificent and although I struggled in math, I excelled in English and was a model student. I fell in love with my teacher who never stopped pushing me. I flourished under her and I cried when the year was over. When one teacher said there was no hope for me another teacher said I was bright and capable of excelling my peers. And so, I did.
While I had no diagnosable issues there was clearly a delay in the area of math and it followed me up until high school. It affected every area of my life and I've had to work five times harder to overcome the insecurity that came with it.
So when my daughter started to display severe insecurities in the area of sleep, I bulked at her. My answer to her intense fears of the dark was to force her to face the dark alone. Which is exactly what happened to me as a child.
The difference was she was not capable of stuffing her fears down and dealing with it like a neurotypical child. She was out of control. Wailing well into the wee hours of the night. Sobbing for hours on end and refusing to stay in her bed. Her fears of night rolled over into everyday life. It wasn't just the night she was terrified of, it was now public places and strangers.
A once bossy independent toddler was suffering from sleep deprivation and on the days when her nights were decent she no longer enjoyed venturing out into the world she used to love to command.
After a year or so of trying to force my square-shaped daughter into a round hole, I had, had enough! Not of her but of myself. I was disgusted at how poorly I dealt with her pain. I was appalled and disappointed at how hard I worked to hide her anxieties with nighttime from friends and family.
I took a sharp left turn out of the land of "typical parenting" and into the land of "what can I do to help?" I left the world of "my way or no way" and entered a place of "I will prefer my daughter's needs above my need to present my family in a particular way."
I was happy to be imperfect. I rebelled against the judgment and unsolicited advice from family and I did what I felt was best for my daughter. I embraced her and her pain. I laid in the bed with her at night instead of on the floor waiting for her to shut up. I talked to her tears and screams until I could reach her.
Our biggest breakthrough came in the form of a lullaby. It was the first time I really tried to connect with her. My hope was to help her to see the good parts of bedtime through music. She gravitated to the song. I would often hear her singing it throughout the day. It became our go-to first thing at night. It was our song. She found bravery in it and I found a way to connect and understand.
I was so fearful of being a failure to everyone around me. But I was failing my daughter as I pursued an impossible life of perfection. The very thing I was trying to hide has literally become an open book for all to see. I boldly chose to record the lullaby and self-publish a book about my daughter's turmoil with bedtime titled: "Showdown at High Moon: Queen Takes a Stand." She is so proud of the book/song and me, this does something to my heart that I cannot describe.
It is a travesty when we as mothers, women, parents, and humans refuse to engage in patience, love, and creativity when raising our children. To refuse to transform and grow on behalf of the one who was God-given because you have plans to force them into a vision all your own is the definition of evil.
It requires a great deal of fear, bitterness, and selfishness to withhold love. I was withholding love from my daughter. She has literally changed me. I am a better mom because of her. I am a better woman because of her. And I thank God our worlds collided, and she won.

Arts and health promotion: Tools and bridges for practice, research and social transformation
J. Hope Corbin, Emily Alden Hennessy, Mariana Sanmartino, Helga Bjørnøy Urke
Editorial: Springer
Arts and health promotion
As a scientific discipline, health promotion has expanded beyond its earlier roots of one-way information dissemination in health education into to a broader, more inclusive approach that considers community perspectives. Since the Ottawa Charter, the field of health promotion has been evolving at a rapid pace, as our understanding of human behavior has deepened; our policy and programs have become more nuanced. The Charter, and subsequent global agreements and frameworks, has further expanded our work and led to the current emphasis on the Social Determinants of Health in designing and developing health-promoting settings, initiatives, and policies. The potential of the Arts as a powerful force to guide and influence health promotion offers endless possibilities to reach and engage the public in new and creative action around health-related issues and well-being. In its myriad forms (painting, plays, photography, song, etc.), the Arts provide a solid medium through which the fusion of culture as well as equity and human rights concerns can be integrated into health promotion policy and practice. Artistic approaches serve the social justice aims of health promotion by providing tangible means to facilitate the amplification of sidelined "voices" and increasing the visibility of invisible or hidden aspects of health and well-being. This book, Arts and Health Promotion: Tools and Bridges for Practice, Research, and Social Transformation, positions the transformative role of the co-creation of knowledge and illustrates how various creative forms of expression have been applied and can be advanced into an important new dimension of health promotion. Filled with rich examples using different art forms to promote health through practice, research, and social mobilization, this book is a "must read" for policymakers and field practitioners. It is also an excellent resource for students, researchers, and scholars, as preparation for the next generation of health promoters.

Platinum Coins: History, Collecting, Prices
Platinum Coins: History, Collecting, Prices. Part 2
Native platinum as the precious metal is known from ancient times in Egypt, Ethiopia, Greece and South America, but technique of processing was forgotten for long -long periods. First coins in the world from this metal so hard to coin were issued in Russia in 1828-1845 years.
The metal was named in XVI century by the Spanish conquistadors. Platinum is the short for the Spanish «plata» that means «silver».
As an independent metal, platinum was described only in 1752 and was immediately called «white gold». In 1819 in Russia a new Siberian metal was found in the alluvial gold mined in the Urals. Then platinum deposits were discovered at the river Ise that motivated the famous manufacturer Demidov to arrange platinum exploration activities in the region of plants in Nihniy Tagil that belonged to him. And shortly after it was discovered in the deposits along the river Suho-Visim. Yet, mining of platinum took Demidov very cheap: «It wasn't worth even 25 kopek zolotnik (some 4.6 gr) together with gold». Within XIX and XX century Russia took the first place in the world to mine this rare noble metal.
And the year 1911 became the winning: Russia produced almost 93 percents of the world platinum production.
Works on practical use of platinum were conducted in Petersburg. Minister of Finance and Supervisor of all governmental mining service E.F.Kankrin in 1829 wrote: «At first the art of metal purification was unknown. At last, in the end of 1826 high inspector of the United Laboratory... Sobolevskiy invented very simple, easy and convenient technique of platinum processing, through which within May 12, 1826 till November 1, 1826 about 1 629 kg of raw platinum was purified and forged «.
That time «wet» technique of platinum processing was used when native or «raw» platinum (ore) was diluted in «chloronitric acid». Precipitating chloride platinum and then calcine it, turn the gained substance into the so called spongy platinum (metallic, as powder). Platinum in this form was pressed, and white-hot work material was spread. But the most important, spongy, sintered platinum was pressed, and exactly this explains in the technique by Sobolevskiy why it is called «sintered metallurgy».
Such technique of soft platinum production provoked to adopt it for coining. Firstly, platinum was used for memory plates dedicated to coronation. Thus, in 1826 a memorable platinum token to the event of Nikolay I coronation was issued, and the observe of it has a crowned monogram, and the reverse side has a sign also crowned.
Later on it was decided to issue coins «from pure Ural platinum» as it was stated at the reverse side thereof. And the coins of 3, 6 and 12 roubles (Russian national currency) were made. It took almost fourteen tons of «Demidov» platinum to produce «platinum duplons» (six roubles), «quadrarupli» (coins of 12 roubles value) and three roubles coins.
Introduction of the twelve-fold principle into the decimal Russian monetary system is interpreted by incidents. First of all, by the ratio of prices for platinum and silver of that time, second of all, by the size accepted for platinum coins.
The Decree dated April 24, 1828 it was noted that «between the treasures of the Urals mountain range platinum was discovered that was preliminary was mined exclusively in South America. And for the purpose to sell such a precious stone it is desirable to introduce coins from it».
Platinum coining proceeded in 1828. The first coin was valued in 3 roubles. In 1829 a coin valued in six roubles was produced, and in 1830 another coin - valued in 12 roubles. Issue of such coins was the biggest win of Russian metallurgist that could make coins from refractory platinum, which was not able to be done in the West. Thus, were appeared to be in front of the entire planet...
For coining in 1828-1845 they used native Ural platinum unpurified from admixtures of accompanying elements (osmium, palladium, iridium and others), in view of that the signature at the reverse of such coins «of PURE URAL PLATINUM» should be interpreted only as witness of absence of alloying additions in the metal.
And totally for 18 years it was coined: coin of 3 rouble value - 1 371691 pieces, coin of 6 roubles - 14 847 pieces and coins of 12 roubles - 3 474 pieces. As these findings and the table show, the last mentioned value coins are met rarely, especially coins of 1839-1840 years when only one coin of every mentioned value was issued in 1840 and two coins of every value in 1839. Yet, the set of the year 1840 was bought by the famous numismatist, the Count Tolstoy directly from the St. Petersburg Mint.
Platinum coins of Russia are the only coins in the world, since they were issued for longer time and were assigned for current circulation. At the present platinum coins is either reprint of rare coins to sell to collectors, or issues of memorable coins.

Motorola Mobility Case Study
Smartphone Service and Repair Manuals
Motorola Mobility
Motorola Mobility is a global telecommunications leader developing products for both commercial and individual consumers. InfoPros has worked with Motorola's Service Engineering group to provide technical documentation in support of their line of smartphones and other mobile devices.
The Service Engineering group was working on the launch of a new mobile phone, and needed a service and repair manual for their domestic and global service centers. They had legacy technical documentation, but did not have the internal resources available to produce the new service and repair manual by the launch date. The Motorola Service Engineers relied on InfoPros to handle all tasks associated with producing documentation for the new product.
InfoPros started the process by working closely with Motorola subject matter experts (SMEs) to analyze the current documentation, the objectives of the new documentation, and the target audience. The analysis revealed that a service and repair manual was needed to provide a global audience of repair technicians with the following information:
Product components and construction
Inspection quality criteria
Disassembly, repair, and assembly procedures
InfoPros used the phone and Motorola's proprietary tools to write repair procedures based on SME input and engineering information. During this process, InfoPros reviewed the manual with the SMEs to verify the procedures and ensure the manual would meet technicians' needs. In addition to writing the text for the manuals, InfoPros created line art to show the product components and construction, and took digital photographs to visually illustrate the procedures. InfoPros later updated the manual when a new generation of the phone was released.
By outsourcing the project to InfoPros, the Service Engineering group was able to focus on other priorities and still meet its deadline for the product launch. InfoPros produced a service and repair manual that contained all of the required procedures and was written specifically for a global technical audience.
The manual was clear and concise, and included detailed illustrations and photographs as visual representations of how to service the phone and its many components. For Motorola Mobility, the initial project led to a continued partnership with InfoPros to produce further manuals and demonstration videos for their expanding product line.
Whether your project is the development of a new service and repair manual, an update to existing documentation, or a complete outsourcing project, InfoPros will work with you to develop a plan to meet your goals and objectives.

Norfolk walkers raise over �4,400 for Motor Neurone Disease Association in memory of Mark Jeeves
David Freezer
Published: 4:30 AM May 22, 2012
Over �4,400 has been raised by a group of Norfolk girls who walked the length of Hadrian's Wall.
The team of four - remaining true to their Norfolk roots while on the 84-mile walk in northern England with the team name Boudicca's Belles - spread the walk from Wallsend to Bowness-on-Solway across five days.
Their aim was to raise funds and awareness for the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) in memory of one of their brothers.
Abby Jeeves, from Long Stratton, lost her brother, Mark Jeeves, to MND in October 2008.
So Abby and three friends - Jess Nichols, 34, Anna Wakefield, 33, and Lucie Anya Fletcher, 33, who are all originally from Norfolk but now living elsewhere - decided to take on the famous Roman wall in memory of Mark
Abby, 38, said: 'We cooked up the idea following a night out and too many glasses of wine at Cafe Rouge in Norwich.
'Although Jess had done some hiking before, the rest of us hadn't. Anna hadn't even been camping so sleeping in a tent would be a real test for her!
'We agreed to support the MND Association as my brother had been diagnosed with this fatal disease in 2006 and was given two years to live.
'Mark was just 41 when he was diagnosed with MND, he'd had no previous illnesses, he worked very hard and was a loving husband and father of two.'
MND is a progressive neurodegenerative disease which leads to weakness and wasting of muscles, causing increasing loss of mobility in the limbs and difficulties with speech, swallowing and breathing.
It effects around seven in every 100,000 people. There is no known cause, diagnosis is extremely difficult and there is no cure.
So far the walk has raised over �4,490 for MNDA but the girls are hoping to reach a target of �5,000.
On day one they walked for more than 10 hours to cover 19.87 miles, from Wallsend to Harlow Hill, before almost seven hours to cover the 12.63 miles to Humshaugh on day two.
Some steep climbs meant that the 16.77 miles to Greenhead on day three took 10 hours and 25 minutes, but just short of eight hours to walk a similar distance to Crosby-on-Eden on day four.
While the final day saw the girls walk for eight hours and 51 minutes to cover the final 18.56 miles through to Bowness-on-Solway.
Abby added: 'It was an extremely tough challenge as the weather wasn't as kind as it could have been.
'We all had to dig very deep to find the energy and stamina but we all had the mental determination to complete the challenge, even though it hurt, a lot!'

TATAA Biocenter is expanding its digital PCR offerings with Bio-Rad's high-throughput QX200™ Droplet Digital™ PCR system (ddPCR™).
In 2007 TATAA Biocenter became the first company in Europe to provide digital PCR services to researchers and published one of the first papers that featured an application of digital PCR on a high throughput platform (Nucleic Acids Research 36: 387, 2008).
The paper discussed using digital PCR to measure intracellular mRNA gradients. TATAA also co-authored the Guidelines for Minimum Information for Publication of Quantitative Digital PCR Experiments (Clinical Chemistry 59:6, 2013). (publication names should be in italics).
"Digital PCR is most important complement to qPCR and can be used for standardization, copy number variation, and rare mutation analysis," said Dr. Mikael Kubista, founder and CEO of TATAA Biocenter.

On a layout based on the Canadian Prairie, you need a lot of grain cars! If you are cheap have a low budget, you might be willing to run the less accurate models for a while. Let's face it, accurate rail cars are expensive.
So you have the choice – do without, while accumulating funds to buy the really accurate models, or make do with foobies / inaccurate models for a while, or maybe even forever.
I have a variety of manufacturers' grain cars on my layout, and I thought I'd write a little post to show the differences between them. But first, a little comparison photo to show differences in detail.
Two Bachmanns on the left, Model Power top right, and Intermountain on the bottom right.
Here's a photo of a prototype… ALNX 396247 aka "Lethbridge", a very typical 4,550 cubic foot grain car built by the thousands for the Canadian federal government and some provincial governments. Eric Gagnon has a great article on these uniquely Canadian cars.
What do you look for on an accurate grain car? The most glaring details are the roof walks and end ladders, plus the rib details along the sides. Let's go.
This is a grain car made by Model Power, a manufacturer known for really inexpensive cars. You can see that ALPX 628099 above bears only a passing resemblance to the prototype.
This is definitely a low end model.
Bachmann makes the Silver Series grain cars in a variety of liveries. These are decent quality cars with metal wheels, Kadee-compatible couplers and finer details than the low end cars. They are still not terribly prototypical but they are decent cars. I wrote about ALNX 396400 already.
Intermountain is known for higher quality cars and this one is no exception. It has a number of higher end features but it comes at a premium price.
The car I have is a "ready to run" model but I also have four plastic kits that I have not yet assembled. The kits are of good quality with many parts but don't have the etched metal parts that the ready-to-run version has.
Walthers recently announced a limited run of Canadian grain cars based on the National Steel Car 4,550 cubic foot car. They claim to have see-through running boards, finely detailed brake gear, roof hatches and end ladders, with metal 36″ wheels and metal knuckle couplers. They were released in April 2016 but I don't have any in my fleet.
North American Railcar has produced a few runs of Canadian grain cars. One was a special run of Saskatchewan Grain Car green hoppers, based on the Hawker Siddeley Canada 4,550 cubic foot car.
They claim to have see-through running boards, finely detailed brake gear, roof hatches and end ladders, with metal 36″ wheels and metal knuckle couplers. They were released in April 2016 but I don't have any in my fleet.
A note about 3800 cubic foot cars: These cars are smaller than the 4550 cubic foot cars above, but have not been available in model form. Some of the paint schemes above are for 3800 ft3 cars but are applied to the 4550s. This is changing as Rapido has announced 3800 cubic foot models for late 2016.
