In Science this week we talked about different habitats, and the habitats we have for different animals and creatures in our local area. We looked at Woodlice and where we would find them.
For our experiment, we made a habitat tray, which included a dark dry corner, a dark damp corner, a light dry corner and a light damp corner. We went to the playground on a woodlice hunt and found lots in different places. We then put them into the habitat tray and predicted where we thought they would go.
Our result was that the woodlice we collected preferred the dark and damp corner!

Village focus: Goathland – still spouting tourists
Goathland village
David Behrens
Published: 10:42 Saturday 08 September 2018
Its population, at the last census, numbered only 438, but Goathland's footprint is surprisingly broad.
Nine mines inland from Whitby and in the heart of the North York Moors National Park, it has been attracting visitors since the 19th century, and the two phenomena that have raised its profile of late have their roots in history only slightly more recent.
Its picturesque little station on the heritage line preserved as the North Yorkshire Moors Railway – a location for one of the Harry Potter films – started to drop off day-trippers there a few decades ago. But it was the use of the village centre as the location for the 1990s TV series, Heartbeat, that planted it squarely on the tourist map.
The stories of a country constable fashioned by the late Peter Walker from his own experiences as a young officer on the Moorland beat, captured a lost world of bobbies on bikes, village greens and tea rooms which, even in its present-day, offscreen incarnation, Goathland continues to exemplify.
The series has been off the air for eight years now, but the tourist flow shows no sign of ebbing.
"There are often 10 coachfuls here at a time, especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays," said Sue Beckton, chair of the Village Hall Trust which runs the 110-year-old community hub designed by the York architect Walter Brierley, a designer in the Christopher Wren tradition, who became known as "the Yorkshire Lutyens".
"Heartbeat is still popular at home, but the tourists come from all over. In Norway and Australia they are still seeing the last episodes," she said.
Ms Beckton, who also operates a B&B next to the Goathland Hotel – the fictional Aidensfield Arms in the 372 TV episodes – says it is the steam trains and the tumbling waterfall of Mallyan Spout that are the principal attractions.
A resident of the village for 19 years, her memories of it go back much further,.
"I used to come here as a youth to go to the hostel, and the village was always busy then," she said.
The beginning of the autumn, with the tourists trickling rather than flooding in, sees the local community, many of whom work on farms that have been in their families for generations, look inwards towards traditional village hall events.
Yet unlike many villages in rural Yorkshire, Goathland's population is relatively young, with a core of commuters making the 15-minute journey to Whitby or the more ambitious, hour's drive to York.
The community also supports a village primary school with a roll of 22 children, three pubs and at least as many tea rooms, and several other thriving businesses, whom, says Ms Beckton, owe their continued existence to the tourists.
Hot-desking comes to the Dales in bid to attract more young workers

Although Africa as a continent possesses 54 diverse and independent nations, those nations located below the Sahara Desert are often grouped into one region. Though it is helpful to use this regional grouping in some instances of data gathering and processing, it is also important to ensure when doing so that the individuality of the nations is not lost and is, instead, carefully noted, as such individuality creates significant statistical differences. For example, although it can be easily asserted that 54 percent of the total African work force is found in the agricultural sector, such a statistic is entirely off-base when considering the case of nations such as South Africa, Angola and Mauritius, where less than 20 percent of all employment is found in agriculture, or nations like Burundi and Madagascar, where over 80 percent of employment is in the agricultural sector.
That being said, the impact of a nation's agricultural systems is still so significant that a one percent increase in agricultural per capita GDP would actually cause a decrease in the poverty gap five times larger than a one percent increase in per capita GDP of any other area. Further, it is a widely shared belief amongst development economists that the area most impacted by agricultural growth is in non-farm income and employment. In other words, no matter how large or small a nation's agricultural sector is, it has an immense impact on the nation overall. As a result, it is no wonder that addressing the agricultural sector is inherently necessary in the effort to address the 40 percent of the world's poor that live in the Sub-Saharan Africa region.
Such is exactly why the work of Esoko Networks Limited is so important. As a technology platform that works to bridge the information gap for farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa, Esoko strives to improve the production yield and make farmers more market savvy through multiple facets – and all through the personal ease of the ever-ubiquitous mobile phone. Esoko provides up-to-date market information such as current prices and also includes weather alerts – the latter being an increasingly serious matter, as fluctuating environmental conditions due to climate change has forced changes in agricultural practices in many areas. Additionally, Esoko allows individuals to share information regarding agricultural practices and technologies, old and new, effectively creating a farmer-specific library of information from which to learn and improve one's production.
Perhaps most exciting, this technology also has a feature which allows buyers and sellers to identify and connect with each other – creating a mini-market that can focus specifically on interactions between smallholder farmers while also providing access to larger markets. As a final measure, Esoko has included a system to survey the individuals who use their technology. This system has been so effective that it has brought down UNICEF's profiling error rate to an astonishing zero percent – it was previously at 55 percent.
Overall, Esoko has been found to increase income for those farmers who use it by about 10 percent- and all by simply creating a network for farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa to communicate, connect and learn.


For most of the 2000s', NORMA JEAN were "Exhibit A" on how a band could disregard mediocrity for something bigger in the metalcore scene and in the southern U.S. They made albums that embedded influences, worked with everyone from Chino Moreno to Shelby Cinca, and even received a Grammy nomination in 2006 for Best Recording Package, an award won by the likes of Tool, Bright Eyes and Wilco. The secret: taking a conscious approach to music.
Meridional, their 2010 effort for Razor & Tie, was a transmission of how five musicians could let a band's growth take a sharper turn. It forced the basics of a genre to expand and tremble with a coarse temper, and as a result, became a feat that was hard to overshadow. Speaking with Norma Jean's Cory Brandan, it was easy to picture how a recording space and the illusion of time could belittle new material, no matter how carnal the vocals were or how much the guitar strings quivered. In the wake of a few gigs in Austin, we discussed viral videos, moving forward from personal accolades, and how writing sporadically and making sacrifices is helping them construct another genuine full-length.
What's South By Southwest been like for you guys so far?
It's been awesome. We actually got to Austin the day before our first show, but we didn't play. We just hung out, watched a few bands play and walked around. We've been on our feet a lot… but we've had a lot of fun. The show at Dirty Dog Bar was amazing. I would say it was my favourite show of all-time. The right people were there, the sound was amazing, the venue was amazing, and even the set up here at SXSW is amazing. The way they work and run everything across the city is great. That show just created a perfect day.
Really? I'm surprised you say that as you've been a part of Norma Jean for nine years.
I find it easy to do. In some cases, you have to be able to say that, and say "that was my favourite thing in the world". I'm sure I could think of some other shows that were great, but right now that's my favourite. It was awesome, and we did something really different with the set as we've never done just groove-driven stuff. Our next show will be the "punk rock" show just because we don't want to do the same thing twice.
What bands have you checked out so far in Austin?
At our show I got to see KEN Mode and Royal Thunder and they were both really good. I had the chance to see a band called Single Mothers too, but I walked into a lot of other random shows because I wanted to see some stuff that I had never heard of. Like if you try to see artists you have heard of, there's a good chance it'll be crowded and you won't be able to get in. I didn't do that so I went to concerts I wouldn't normally go to and I couldn't even tell you the names of some of the bands I saw, but there was some good stuff.
Considering you guys have been in the recording studio for quite some time, is this trip to Austin sort of a small break for the band?
We were actually supposed to be out of the studio by February 2012. We booked the time for January that year but we felt like the record wasn't ready after that, so we pushed it back to the summer. Then it got pushed back again to December. That last session lasted for about two and a half months. We still haven't mixed the album so we're technically still "in the studio" right now but we're looking at a summer release for sure.
What influenced you guys to feel like you weren't "ready" at first?
It's kind of hard to explain… we just felt like the initial album wasn't right and the previous record that we had released, called Meridional, really was just… critically acclaimed. We didn't have any bad reviews for that record and everybody really liked it, and that was a first for us. Honestly, it really was. We're used to seeing bad reviews by people that hate us but that didn't happen with Meridional. I'm just going to be 100 per cent honest – and I don't know if bands say this kind of stuff – but we felt like we wanted to beat that record. Once we got to recording, we realized that was the wrong thing to do and we scrapped everything to do something completely different.
Having wrapped up recording, how does it feel to be on this mini-tour of the Southern states?
We pretty much booked every one of those shows just to play at SXSW. We played a show in San Antonio and after Austin we're in Dallas, Houston, Arkansas, Tennessee, Birmingham and a few other places.
Was the pressure to top Meridional larger than anticipated?
It definitely was. I mean, it's really hard to think of what you're going to do after you have concluded something because you've gone through all of that work, but we did feel like writing right away after that album. We started writing sporadically throughout 2010, 2011 and 2012. At this point, I'd even say we'll have more material to release next year as well. That will be something different though and I think it might be a live record. We'll record it live, track it live and we'll make sure it sounds really good. There are some live tracks on the new album too.
Doing a live album is just less stressful. Like playing a song a thousand times can get kind of annoying but you're not in the studio for two and a half months (laughs). That lets you go home to your family and that helps because being a musician or being a part of a band takes a lot of sacrifice.
Having been in and out of the studio, what started the idea of doing "Ahh! Shark Bite! Ahh!"?
It's just us having fun (laughs). When you're in the studio for too long, you do get bored. We've actually had that song for a long time, like years, and it's just a fun song that we play during practice so we decided to record it and release it on the Internet through a video. We did that in a day, actually maybe an hour, and literally it went up on YouTube the next day. It's really random and it's not on the record (laughs).
Well given that you're headed for an eventful 2013, what else can one expect from Norma Jean?
We'll be on the road as much as possible. We're in Australia in May and we're doing a really awesome festival this summer as well. There will be a fall headlining tour too and anyone who's a fan of Norma Jean can expect us to play material off of every single record of ours. There's going to be old stuff, really new stuff and we're going to do a really cool live show with the old-school Norma Jean set-up, like a projector and all that stuff. It'll be worth every cent.
Great band. Can't wait for the new album.


Your air filter is a vital part of your vehicle's engine. Without it, your fuel won't receive the oxygen-rich air needed for internal combustion. If it's time to order your Honda Insight replacement air filter, visit All Discount Parts. We have what you need to keep your Insight running strong and can have it shipped to your door for near wholesale prices.
An internal combustion engine requires three basic ingredients to operate – Air, Spark, and Fuel. Clean air is drawn into the system through the air filter, where it mixes with vaporized fuel from the fuel system. When the correct balance is reached, a spark from the spark plugs ignites the mixture, causing internal combustion.
This process moves the pistons, which turn the crankshaft, powering the engine. This is a process that a healthy engine completes hundreds of times per minute while in operation. A dirty air filter can compromise the air flow needed for this to happen efficiently, affecting your vehicle's performance.
How Can a Dirty Air Filter Affect Your Car?
Reduced Fuel Economy – Reduced air flow can cause your vehicle to use more fuel to create combustion.
Increased Emissions – Poor air flow can affect our vehicle's emissions control system, causing the air/fuel mixture to become too fuel rich, increasing emissions.
Engine Deposits – A poor air/fuel mixture can increase spark plug deposits, making proper combustion difficult.
Decreased Horsepower – Deposits and poor air flow can cause your vehicle to respond sluggishly, preventing you from getting the power you need.
Misfire/Backfire – Deposits can lead to misfires within the engine, as well as a rough idle and embarrassing backfires.
Choosing OEM Honda Insight replacement air filters ensures that you get factory quality parts that are designed to fit your Insight and keep it running like new longer.
When you're ready to order Honda Insight replacement air filters, visit All Discount Parts for wide selection, wholesale prices, and front door delivery. Contact us for more information or when you're ready to order.

On 2 May 2019 Andy Abrahams was elected as Mansfield's Executive Mayor.
He is the third Executive Mayor of Mansfield following Tony Egginton's 12-year term and Kate Allsop's four-year term.
Andy grew up on Mansfield's Ladybrook Estate with his dad, who was a miner, and his mum, who was a cleaner.
Andy has enjoyed a varied career in both the construction industry and education. He worked as a chartered civil engineer in local government and industry for 25 years where he was involved in major construction projects including the channel tunnel rail link, Manchester Airport runway and the New Imperial War Museum.
His determination to improve opportunities for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds led to him changing career and going back to university to retrain as a maths teacher. He has taught for ten years in socially deprived areas with historically low attainment to try to make a positive difference, and for the past five years has worked for REAL Education, an alternative education provider. Andy passionately believes that education should enable every child to reach their potential.
He has travelled extensively throughout the world, including working with street children in Ecuador and volunteering on an environmental project in Tanzania.
Andy is married to Lynne, who is a retired midwife, and the couple have four grown up children.
He is a keen sportsman who plays many sports including football, racket sports and golf. He has run marathons, parachuted for charity and has obtained a PADI scuba diving qualification.
Andy supports many charities and continues to volunteer weekly at the Beacon Project, Mansfield, which supports homeless people.
In his election manifesto the Mayor pledged to:
Ensure the council uses local contractors and suppliers to keep money in the local economy.
Build affordable homes and council houses with affordable rents that are accessible to our communities.
Rebuild our communities and make them safe, by identifying the worst areas of private substandard rented accommodation and make 'rogue' landlords accountable, and by employing more Neighbourhood Wardens to tackle drugs and crime.
Make Mansfield healthy, green and clean by reinstating community sports facilities in Warsop and re-energise our parks with fun runs and activities and by providing new community allotments and improve waste and recycling facilities.
The Executive Mayor would like to keep in touch with residents more frequently with public information and service news. The quickest, most convenient and cost saving way of doing this is by email.

Trump leads moment of silence for Las Vegas shooting victims, orders flags lowered
By Brooke Singman , | Fox News
Trump leads moment of silence for Las Vegas victims
President, first lady, vice president and second lady appear on South Lawn of White House.
President Trump led a moment of silence at the White House on Monday afternoon to honor the victims of the Las Vegas massacre, as flags were ordered lowered to half-staff at government buildings across the country.
The attack, the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, killed at least 58 and left more than 500 hospitalized.
The president was joined by first lady Melania Trump, Vice President Pence and second lady Karen Pence for the moment of silence. The Senate held a similar tribute minutes later.
Trump earlier in the day also ordered flags lowered to half-staff.
"Our nation is heartbroken. We mourn with all whose loved ones were murdered and injured in last night's horrible tragedy in Las Vegas, Nevada," the president said in a statement. "As we grieve, we pray that God may provide comfort and relief to all those suffering."
His proclamation ordered flags lowered at the White House and all public buildings, military posts and naval stations, and "vessels" of the federal government across the U.S. and its territories until sunset on Oct. 6. The president also directed flags to be flown at half-staff at U.S. embassies and facilities abroad.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff on Capitol Hill.
"America woke up this morning to heartbreaking news," Ryan said in a statement Monday. "This evil tragedy horrifies us all. To the people of Las Vegas and to the families of the victims, we are with you during this time."
He added: "The whole country stands united in our shock, in our condolences, and in our prayers."

Make your own Fossil
Other Cultures Activity: Totem Poles
Whitby Museum has a varied collection of items from other cultures. The collection reflects the worldwide travels of local people especially during the era of sailing ships.
The largest item among this collection is our magnificent totem pole. Totem poles were built by Native American tribes living along the Northwest Pacific coast of North America. They could measure up to 12 metres in height and were carved with images of animals and symbols showing a family's status within the tribe. Common carvings were ravens, eagles, bears and wolves.
Our totem pole comes from Nootka Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The area was discovered by Captain James Cook. Although our totem pole does not originate from Captain Cook he is known to have seen some when he was there.
Download the activity sheets and have a go at designing your own totem pole, colour in our totem pole or make your own model using a cardboard tube and sticking objects to it, you could use symbols that are relevant to your own family.

The Germans fired two machine-guns at the cavalry which broke through between II Battalion and III Battalion IR 26 and got behind the 10th Company above Bazentin le Grand. The two infantry battalions crossed the 0.75 miles (1.21 km) to High Wood, with a short delay on the left, due to German machine-gun fire but the battalions entered the wood and found few Germans. Undergrowth slowed their progress and the north end of the wood, protected by the new Switch Line and the west side could not be captured, the troops digging in across the middle and the east edge, helped by engineers to consolidate despite several counter-attacks.

ドイツ軍は2兆の機関銃を騎兵隊に向けて射撃した。それは第二大隊と歩兵26連隊第三大隊の間をすり抜けてきたのだった。遅れて第10中隊がバーゼンティン・ル・プチを抜けてきた。 2個歩兵大隊がハイウッドを0.75マイル(1.21km)ほど横切った。ドイツ軍の機関銃射撃で左が少し遅れた。大隊は森に入ったがドイツ軍はほとんど見つからなかった。 下草のため前進は遅くなった。森の北端を新たなスイッチ式塹壕線(*)で防護したが、西側は占拠できず、部隊は何度かの反撃を受けながら配属の工兵隊の支援を受けて東の端とその中間に塹壕を掘った。

Lukin ordered an attack from the south-west corner of the wood on a battalion front, with the 2nd Battalion forward, the 3rd Battalion in support and the 4th Battalion in reserve. The three battalions moved forward from Montauban before first light, under command of Lieutenant–Colonel W. E. C. Tanner of the 2nd Battalion. On the approach, Tanner received instructions to detach two companies to the 26th Brigade in Longueval and sent B and C companies of the 4th Battalion. The 2nd Battalion reached a trench occupied by the 5th Camerons, which ran parallel to the wood and used this as a jumping-off line for the attack at 6:00 a.m.
The attack at Longueval and Delville Wood had lacked sufficient power to capture all of the wood and village, where II Battalion, BIR 16 was reinforced by II Battalion, IR 26 of the 7th Division and a battalion of RIR 99 during the day. The relative success of the defenders inhibited the British from ordering a bolder exploitation further west. Opposite the 7th and part of the 3rd Division the Germans were found to have disappeared by 10:00 a.m. and some British officers walked up to High Wood unchallenged. Watts suggested sending the 91st Brigade from reserve to occupy the wood but was ordered to wait for the cavalry and Haldane was told to keep his reserve brigade ready to receive counter-attacks.
The main German attack was made by the 8th Division and part of the 5th Division from the north and north-east. Elements of nine battalions attacked with 6,000 men. Infantry Regiment 153 was to advance from south of Flers, to recapture Delville Wood and reach the second position along the southern edge of the wood, the leading battalion to occupy the original second line from the Longueval–Guillemont road to Waterlot Farm, the second battalion to dig in along the southern edge of the wood and the third battalion to occupy Prince's Street along the centre of the wood. At first the advance moved along the sunken Flers road, 150 yards (140 m) north of the wood, which was confronted by the 2nd South African Regiment along the north edge of the wood.
Furse ordered another attack on Longueval by the 27th Brigade and the 1st South African Regiment, after an artillery and Stokes mortar bombardment and one battalion bombed its way up North Street at 8:00 a.m. and another party tried to move through orchards on the west side but German reinforcements counter-attacked and recaptured the lost ground, another attack failed at 7:30 p.m. The South African Brigade was ordered to capture Delville Wood and moved up from reserve before dawn but by then, half the brigade had been detached. The brigade attacked at 6:15 a.m. from the south-west corner of the wood on a battalion front, with the 2nd Battalion forward, the 3rd Battalion in support and the 4th Battalion in reserve.
In the evening of 16 July, the South Africans withdrew south of Prince's Street and east of Strand Street, for a bombardment on the north-west corner of the wood and the north end of Longueval. On 17 July, the 27th Brigade attacked northwards in Longueval and the 2nd South African Battalion plus two companies of the 1st Battalion, attacked westwards in the wood. The South African attack was a costly failure and the survivors were driven back to their original positions, which came under increased German artillery-fire in the afternoon. In the evening Tanner was wounded and replaced by Lieutenant-Colonel E. F.

An attack by a second battalion from the Ginchy–Flers road was also repulsed, the battalions losing 528 men. In the early afternoon a battalion of the 8th Division attacked the north-eastern face of the wood and was also repulsed, after losing all its officers. At 3:00 p.m. on 15 July Bavarian Reserve Infantry Regiment 6 of the 10th Bavarian Division attacked in force from the east but was partially driven back by rifle and machine-gun fire. At 4:40 p.m. Tanner reported to Lukin that German forces were massing to the north of the wood and he called for reinforcements, as the South Africans had already lost a company from the 2nd (Natal and Free State) Battalion.
The left of the battalion entered the wood further north, took thirty prisoners and occupied part of the eastern edge, as German troops in the wood from I Battalion, Reserve Infantry Regiment 106, II Battalion, Infantry Regiment 182 and III Battalion, Reserve Infantry Regiment 51, skirmished with patrols and received reinforcements from Guillemont. Around noon, more German reinforcements occupied the north end of the wood and at 6:00 p.m., the British artillery fired a barrage between Trônes Wood and Guillemont, after a report from the French of a counter-attack by Reserve Infantry Regiment 106. The attack was cancelled but some German troops managed to get across to the wood to reinforce the garrison, as part of a British battalion advanced from the south, retook the south-eastern edge and dug in.
Despite being reinforced by the 8th Battalion Hampshire Regiment, no more ground was gained during fighting, which saw the Hampshires also suffer very heavy losses. Meanwhile, at 09:00 the tank, followed by part of the 5th Battalion Norfolk Regiment on the right, entered a redoubt, capturing 20 prisoners and killing others of the hostile garrison. The fire from several hostile artillery batteries was concentrated on the redoubt, destroying the tank and killing most of the infantrymen. So many casualties were suffered by this battalion that they were unable to withstand a strong counterattack, during which the survivors were captured. The few who managed to escape were forced back to the ridge from which they had launched their attack. These three battalions lost 1,500 men, including two commanding officers and all twelve company commanders. At 13:00 the 161st (Essex) Brigade was ordered to reinforce the line held by the 163rd Brigade. Subsequently, the 5th Battalion Suffolk Regiment (163rd Brigade), and the 6th Battalion Essex Regiment (161st Brigade) made a fresh attack on the redoubt which had briefly been captured by the 5th Battalion Norfolk Regiment. At 14:20, before this advance had become "seriously engaged", orders were received for the whole line to stand fast. Eastern Force ordered the divisions to dig in on the line they occupied. During the battle three tanks were captured by the Ottoman defenders.
Despite urging caution, Kuhl sent two divisions, thirteen heavy batteries and twelve field batteries of artillery, three fighter squadrons and four other air force units from the 4th Army. In the area about to be attacked, the army had six ground-holding divisions backed by three Eingref divisions and 750 guns. The 19th Division in IX Corps covered the southern defensive flank of the attack front, against the German 9th Reserve and 207th divisions, on a 1,600 yd (1,500 m) front, from the Comines canal to Groenenburg Farm, on the west slope of the Bassevillebeek valley. The six attacking battalions of the 58th Brigade on the right and the 57th Brigade on the left and their supporting battalions had a difficult approach. The 58th Brigade had to pass through obstructions in Opaque Wood and Imperfect Copse and then at midnight it began to rain until 5:00 a.m. Zero hour was decided according to the weather and the time of 5:40 a.m. was passed forward at 1:45 a.m., so all ranks had to lie quiet in the rain for more than three hours. Around dawn a heavy mist formed and at 5:40 a.m. the barrage began. On the right, the short advance to the first objective (red line) was met with opposition from dugouts south-west of Hessian Wood, Jarrocks Farm, Pioneer House and a small wood nearby. Machine-gun fire was also encountered from Hollebeke Château and the railway embankment. The right battalion reached the objective on time but the two to the left had many casualties, lost touch with their flanking units and the barrage, until the pause on the red line (first objective) allowed them to reorganise, mop-up and regain touch with units which had lost direction. The third battalion on the left was still held up by Hessian Wood so a defensive flank was formed facing north. The 57th Brigade advanced to the red line against slight opposition on the right, while the two battalions on the left had to cross an extremely boggy area, which slowed them and they lost the barrage. The delay resulted in them being caught by machine-gun fire from dugouts near Top House while bunched up, because of the heavy going.
On 30 March the Germans attacked around Le Hamel and although this was turned back, they succeeded in making gains around Hangard Wood. Five days later, the Germans renewed their drive towards Villers-Bretonneux. Part of the German attack fell on the centre and left of the French First Army. The French line fell back, but a counter-attack regained much of the ground. From north to south the line was held by British and Australian troops of the 14th (Light) Division, the 35th Australian Battalion and the 18th (Eastern) Division. By 4 April the 14th (Light) Division, around Le Hamel, had fallen back under attack from the German 228th Division. The Australians held off the 9th Bavarian Reserve Division and the 18th Division repulsed the German Guards Ersatz Division and 19th Division. The British were forced to retire by the retreat of the 14th (Light) Division, where the 41st Brigade had been pushed back for 500 yards (460 m) "in some disorder" and then retired to a ridge another 3,000 yards (2,700 m) back, which left the right flank of the 42nd Brigade uncovered. The line west of Le Hamel was reinforced by the arrival of the 15th Australian Brigade. In the afternoon, the Germans resumed their efforts and pushed the 18th Division in the south, at which point Villers-Bretonneux appeared ready to fall. The Germans came within 440 yards (400 m) of the town but Colonel Goddard of the 35th Australian Battalion, in command of the sector, ordered a surprise late afternoon counter-attack on 4 April, by the 36th Australian Battalion with c. 1000 men, supported by a company from the 35th Australian Battalion and his reserve, the 6th Battalion London Regiment. Advancing by section rushes, they pushed the Germans back towards Monument Wood and then north of Lancer Wood and forced two German divisions to retreat from Villers-Bretonneux. Flanking movements by British cavalry and Australian infantry from the 33rd and 34th Battalions helped consolidate the British gains. Further fighting around the village took place later in the month during the Second Battle of Villers-Bretonneux. The attack on Villers-Bretonneux was the last significant German attack of Operation Michael (known to the British as the First Battle of the Somme, 1918). After the failure of the German forces to achieve their objectives, Ludendorff ended the offensive to avoid a battle of attrition. The 9th Australian Brigade had 665 casualties from c. 2,250 men engaged. German casualties were not known but there were 498 losses in two of the regiments engaged. The 9th Australian Brigade recorded 4,000 dead German soldiers on their front and the 18th Division had "severe" losses and took 259 prisoners from the 9th Bavarian Reserve, Guards Ersatz and 19th divisions.

Illinois History and Research Overview
By Family Tree Editors Premium
The land on which Chicago's glittering Michigan Avenue stands was a quiet wilderness 300 years ago. Illinois' non-Indian beginnings were along the state's southern waterways. In 1699, French priests founded a mission at Cahokia, in what is now St. Clair County. In 1703, the French also founded Kaskaskia, now in Randolph County; it eventually became the British seat of government. In 1763, France ceded the area to the British after the French and Indian War.
In 1778, the longtime home of the Winnebago, Miami, Illinois, Kickapoo, Pottawatomie, Fox and Sac Indians became part of the United States. Illinois became a county of Virginia after Americans captured Kaskaskia from the British. Virginia relinquished its claim in 1784, and three years later, Congress made Illinois part of the Northwest Territory. In 1800, Illinois became part of Indiana Territory. Illinois Territory was formed from it in 1809. Settlers were primarily from Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and the Carolinas by way of the Ohio River. In 1818 Illinois became the 21st state. Most of the population lived near the state's southern waterways.
The Black Hawk War of 1832 saw the Sauk and Fox Indians driven from the state and the last remaining Indian lands relinquished. Migration to Illinois during the 1830s was largely from New York and New England via the National Road or the Erie Canal to the Great Lakes. In the 1840s, that migration continued, and large numbers of German and Irish also began to arrive. While many soon moved farther west, many remained in Illinois. So did many of the Poles, Italians, Austrians, Hungarians, Russians, and Scandinavians who arrived after the Civil War. More than a quarter-million Illinois troops served the Union during the Civil War.
In the decades after the Civil War, Illinois and the rapidly growing Chicago area drew many African-Americans. Newcomers from around the world continued to migrate to Illinois throughout the 20th century.

Clinical trials have led to significant advances in health outcomes. For example, much of the continued decline in cardiovascular mortality since 2000 has been attributed to the evidence that established the various treatment strategies now in common use.1 However, as the costs of both medical care and clinical trials continue to rise, are our current clinical trials good value for money? In this article, the last in a series based on the MJA Clinical Trials Research Summit, we discuss the need for an innovative funding model for investigator-led clinical trials.

"The Electrified Automotive Future and its Relationship to Arch." by Jaguar Design
5 November 2018 Shows and exhibitions, Events 0
During an event in Mayfair (London) hosted by Jaguar Design, the subject has been 'The Electrified Automotive Future and its Relationship to Architecture'.
In the evening, Jaguar design and a group of London's leading RIBA architects, planners, property developers and infrastructure experts presents a joint vision for an urban future as electric vehicle adoption reaches tipping point – dubbed a 'once in a generation opportunity for wholesale change'
The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), of which Ian Callum is an Honorary Fellow, is the professional body for architects in the UK with more than 40,000 members around the world.
Speaking from Jaguar's Mayfair showroom, Director of Design, Ian Callum spoke of the international success of the all-electric I-PACE and the opportunities presented by automotive electrification becoming more mainstream. He said:
I am incredibly proud of what we have created in the Jaguar I-PACE and the reception it has received since its launch. It is a truly revolutionary vehicle with one of the most advanced zero-emissions powertrains ever fitted to a production car. The I-PACE is instantly recognisable as a Jaguar, with the beautiful design and dynamic capability inherent in our vehicles.
As a designer, I am hugely excited by the opportunity this widespread adoption of electric cars presents. We have a unique chance for wholesale change of the facilities available to drivers as we reinvent usage and 'filling' patterns for our vehicles. The concepts we are presenting here with the team of architects show a vision of what is possible, what is needed and what it could look like.
Ian Callum and a number of architects led by award-winning Jon Eaglesham of Barr Gazetas presented concepts depicting a joint-vision as to what an urban future of automotive electrification could look like.
The concepts are described below:
Today – what a motorway service station could be… In this example we take a traditional, tired motorway service station and breathe new electrified life in to it. It is based on Forton Services on the M6. When it opened in 1965 Forton Services was a beacon of modernity featuring an up-market restaurant and a sun deck. Today motorway services are often an unpleasant jumble of commercial buildings servicing noisy, polluted motorways. With electrification, much reduced noise and pollution together with increased 'dwell time', result in such stations becoming destinations with an array of amenities and services including farm shops, gymnasiums, swimming pools and restaurants to give travellers greater options to occupy the time required to charge their vehicles.
The trend towards connecting these stations to their local rural and urban community is enhanced by the environmental improvements electric cars will bring. Encouraging people to visit for a variety of reasons, be it for leisure, to work or to trade produce and ideas, they will revive the lost model of the ancient caravanserai.
Tomorrow – NCP of the future… This is based on one of the UK's most iconic multi-storey car parks – on Welbeck Street, hidden behind Oxford Street in London's West End. Completed in 1970, and originally constructed to provide car parking space for shoppers, the structure symbolises an era of fossil fuel consumption. Re-imagined as a self-sufficient charging plaza, the proposal is to reinvent the existing stock of city centre multi-storey car parks, where owners of electric vehicles who are less likely to have access to off-street parking at their homes, can charge their cars adjacent to good public transport links. The proposal at Welbeck Street makes use of the existing structural grid to support solar photovoltaics panels that will provide clean energy for inner-city electric vehicle owners to charge their cars. The result is cleaner and greener surroundings and parts of the building freed up for retail and leisure use. A public artwork on the side of the building indicates the renewable energy generated to charge the cars within the structure.
Electric City – fast-approaching reality of completely emission free major cities… Reimagining post-industrial wastelands. Here we have taken Liverpool's Stanley Dock as an example. Built in 1901 it was once the largest building in the world, but fell into disrepair in the 1980s, symbolising lost industry and economic difficulty. In this image it has been reimagined as a community interchange, helping to rejuvenate the city through the creation of new community facilities and industries based on green energy on redundant sites country wide. Linked to the future of transport and car-free city centres, redundant brownfield sites like Stanley Dock can offer the multi-modal 'last mile' connection to cities, whilst rejuvenating the communities they are situated in.
Electric future – opportunity for wholesale change, up and down the country… In this image, London is a cleaner, healthier city where repurposed, new infrastructure, connected to electric vehicles, has allowed a proliferation of vegetation and green space. Cities across the UK are electrically self-sufficient harnessing solar and tidal power to power the increased number of electric vehicles, both land-based and airborne.
London architecture practice Barr Gazetas' managing director, Jon Eaglesham said:
This study is all about realising opportunity. These four concepts should all be possible within a generation. Electric vehicle successes such as the I-PACE represent a huge catalyst for change. As architects, together with town planners and authorities national and local, we need to embrace this opportunity now, and bring visions such as these to reality, improving experiences, and indeed lives, up and down the country.

City, E.C., on Tuesday, the 8th day of August, 1871, at one for two o'Clock – in one lot.
The Kemnal Estate, situate in the Beautiful neighbourhood of Chislehurst, about 2 miles from that Station, on the South-Eastern Railway (Main Line), about the same distance from Sidcup Station, on the Dartford Loop Line; and about 10 miles from the Metropolis; the journey to and from The London Bridge, Cannon Street, and Charing Cross Termini, occupying about 25 minutes by many fast Trains daily.
A choice, attractive, and compact Freehold Residential Property, (for many years in the Occupation of A.F.Slade, Esq.,) containing 132a. 3r. 20p. of very Valuable undulating Park Land, embellished with Fine Old Timber, with about 36 acres of Ornamental Woodland, the whole Possessing great capabilities for present and future development as a First-Class Building Estate.
The Property commences about one-third of a Mile from Chislehurst Commons, and extends in a Northerly direction to the Maidstone Turnpike Road, on which it abuts, and is approached by a Carriage Drive therefrom, with an Ornamental Entrance Lodge, near the Tenth Milestone from the Metropolis: The whole being bounded principally by the Lands and Woods of Viscount Sydney.
The neighbourhood of Chislehurst is much sought after and appreciated for Residence; it is extremely difficult to obtain Houses there at all, and when built they command high prices.

As a renter I needed some non permanent patio slider and bedroom window sun protection. The solar fabric, fasteners, and Buddy's quick responses to my questions were top notch!
I received the screening 2 days prior to the original delivery data. The screening was exactly as described and does a great job blocking the afternoon sun on my porch.
Great website. Very informative and easy to use. Requested sample a had them in no time. Followed the measuring directions and had my screens for our sliding door two days later. Fit was perfect and installation was a breeze. The Velcro fasteners worked well. The screens work very effectively and look terrific both inside and out. The whole purchasing experience was excellent and I would highly recommend to anyone trying to solve a sun problem.
Phifer Suntex Solar Screen Fabric with 90% sun blockage is great for interior or exterior installations. The 90% blockage factor provides superior comfort and heat blockage while still maintaining visibility and daytime privacy.

Q: Microsoft Excel - comparing values of multiple columns against values of multiple other columns I have a spreadsheet containing names.
I have 5 columns of unique names, let's call the headers:
Name A
Name B
Name C
Name D
Name E

I also have 10 columns of other names (not necessarily unique), let's call the headers:
Name 1
Name 2
Name 3
etc.

What I would like to do is compare the value in Name 1 to Name 10 against the values in Name A to Name E and highlight (using conditional formatting perhaps) any values in Name 1 to Name 10 that DO NOT appear in any of the columns Name A to Name E.
If anyone has any ideas on how to do this with conditional formatting (or by any other means) I would be extremely grateful!

A: I rewrote the answer completely after seeing your sample (you need to work more on how to express your problem),
First, I'm posting the request image as is, so people would understand the problem:

You can achieve that using two formulas:
For cells in G column (Name 1) use the following:
=AND(NOT(ISBLANK(G2)),ISERROR(MATCH(G2,$A2:$E2,0)))

For the other columns, use this:
=AND(NOT(ISBLANK(H2)),ISERROR(MATCH(H2,$A2:$E2,0)),ISERROR(MATCH(H2,$G2:G2,0)))

A: If you wish to avoid using a lengthy formula, Excel conditional formatting has an existing rule you can use. It may be too simplistic for what you are trying to do, but if you highlight all the data you can select conditional formatting and choose the rule "Format only unique values".
Anything highlighted in the second set of data would not appear in the first set of data.
It will not work though for any duplicate values in the second set of data.

Hewitt started 162 Silver Crown races during his career, which also included a series-record 23 wins, including 1986, 1987 and 1993 victories at DuQuoin's Magic Mile.
Darland has 156 career starts but continues to seek his first DuQuoin triumph, while Tyler, with 154 starts, is the defending race winner. Gamester, who won at DuQuoin in 1997, also has 154 career Silver Crown starts.
The trio, plus Hewitt, are joined in the "150-plus" club by the retired Johnny Parsons, who made his 153rd career start at DuQuoin last year.
The trio has accounted for a total of 35 Silver Crown wins. Darland is the only former series champion, claiming the 1997 title, although Tyler was second in 1998 and 2006 and Gamester was the 1999 and 2001 runner-up.
Tyler, with victories at Richmond, Va. and Oswego, NY this year, ranks sixth in the current standings, while Darland, second in the "Hoosier Hundred" in May, ranks 18th after three dirt-track outings and Gamester, fifth at the "Hoosier Hundred," ranks 19th.
All of the above are chasing Bud Kaeding of Campbell, Calif., who leads the standings in his quest to join Jimmy Sills as three-time Silver Crown Champions. Kaeding won the series opener at Phoenix, Ariz. and is the only driver to post "top-10" finishes in all seven races so far this season. He'll try to improve on last year's 11th-place DuQuoin finish.


Building your brand doesn't have to require audience from outside of your country. Many make the mistake to underestimate their local SEO(Search Engine Optimization) when in reality, local SEO has a higher conversion rate compared to other advertising media.
The year 2017 is ending and the virtual world just keeps on getting more competitive each day. Competition between new and old techniques are tested along with the ever-changing playing field of the internet.
Just like last year, 2017 is going to define which SEO techniques that get to stay or leave behind. Those that get to stay shapes the trends for the incoming year: 2018. So what has 2018 have for local SEO?
There are reports stating that 57% of the traffic generated is from mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Sweet, but what does this mean for local SEO?
Since Google's sponsored report in 2014, it shows that mobile users tend to search services and products locally. With the continuous growth for mobile users, this also equates to more potential customers for your local business.
From the facts and statistics mentioned, it goes to show that local SEO shouldn't be ignored anymore.
Along with the increase of mobile users is also the growing numbers of virtual assistants being used. Cortana, Siri, and Google Now are some of the virtual assistants available for consumer use.
From the basic text-to-speech feature, virtual assistants are born. Since Google's report in 2014, the number of people using voice-activated search queries to their respective virtual assistant shows a steady increase.
It is expected that 2018 will be the year of virtual assistants and voice searches with the equally increasing numbers of voice-activated features from smart homes.
Before, companies and business are free to cram and stuff their company website and content full of keywords in order to rank high in the SERPs(Search Engine Results Page).
As the algorithms(i.e Hummingbird and RankBrain) in the search engines keep updating and evolving, it makes the system smarter and making it capable of updating itself without human input.
Good examples of machine learning are the personalized SERPs, where search engines analyze users' information to offer them befitting results and the featured snippets.
Due to the search engine updates, Google can figure out whether you are making content for the sake of putting in links and keywords or not.
Moreover, with regards to machine learning capabilities, algorithms such as Panda and Penguin are alert in looking for content discrepancies. If caught, Google is penalizing those who have broken the rules.
2018 is the year where user experience(UX) is the boss. Content should be high in quality and leaves users satisfied as well as informed and entertained.
Local link building is still alive and kicking in the next year. Additionally, it doesn't show any signs of going anywhere anytime soon. Links are still Google's most important factor in ranking.
Other than helping you rank higher, when done right, local link building can foster good relationships between companies. This can also provide better quality content for your audience.
And lastly, local link building provides relevant links to your site. For example, a roofing site can gain pertinent links from relevant sources found locally.
Due to the abundance of carousels, answer boxes and many more, it will be a challenge for your website to get the consumers attention.
Google updates and machine learning influencing the SERPs plus the short attention spans, most consumers won't scroll down that much to get to the organic results. This has significantly changed how businesses will compete to the top.
The quick fix? Visual search. Alongside local SEO, you can aim for the "3-pack" where businesses are listed along with the map of the business location. Accompany it with images to increase the chances of enticing more audience.
Google has announced that due to the multitudes of mobile users that are searching the internet, they are going to implement a mobile-first indexing.
Fast Loading Pages. As the demand for mobile mediums when it comes to accessing the internet, it has been reported that mobile loading speed greatly lags behind desktop loading speed. It is essential that you optimize your mobile loading speed to avoid an increase in exit rate.
Mobile-friendly UI(User Interface). Layout, buttons, images, and text should have a harmonious balance within the smaller screen of a mobile device. Check your own mobile website to know if the layout is mobile-friendly. A mobile-friendly site is a user-friendly site.
Voice searches have shaped how search engines find and provide your information to searchers. In order to avoid getting left behind in voice-activated opportunities, adopt a voice search-friendly SEO.
Opting for Long-tail Keywords. In the world of voice queries, gone are the days where short and general keywords exist. Long-tail keywords are your keys to a higher chance of getting your information presented to potential customers.
Choose Natural. Minimize the use of SEO generated words and switch to natural languages and be conversational. People are using their voice searches as if they are talking to a companion and you don't talk SEO-like to a friend when asking something.
Even though link building stays strong for the next year, it doesn't mean that Panda and Penguin stopped looking out for faults in the contents that you are making through blogging or guest blogging.
Easy on the Links. Despite being the most important element in ranking, popular and quality links sometimes are not the best links for your content. Even you have few links in your contents, you will still be able to rank as long as the links are meaningful.
Input Crucial Information. Through personalized SERPs, featured snippets, and structured data, information is critical. Don't skimp on your business information(i.e address, phone numbers, store hours, product prices, email, website). Every information is important in order to make the best of 3-packs, carousels, answer boxes and more.
With another year coming, it is imperative for you to learn about the upcoming trends in order to stay ahead of the already competitive competition. Let trends be your guide to start off 2018 on the right foot and aim for yet another fruitful, if not successful, year.

Miller dedicated to career, extreme sports
August 31, 2008 /in General /by Dave Rhea
AUGUST 31, 2008 – Jennifer L. Miller is featured in a new series for the Oklahoma County Bar Association's Briefcase, which focuses on "extreme" sports. The inaugural column describes Miller's dedication to both running and her legal career, which complement each other in diligence, persistence and good training. Like preparing for a trial, marathon running requires expert preparation, steadfast persistence and unwavering dedication. Miller says, "it doesn't hurt to be competitive and adventurous either."
Lawyers and Extreme Sports, Activities
By Brian Pierson
Lawyers and athletes possess many of the same traits and characteristics. Both tend to be diligent, persistent, adventuresome and well-trained, and on occasion even tend to be a bit overzealous about their vocational and recreational pursuits. In the following series I hope to introduce you to some of our brethren and sisters of the County Bar Association who spend their spare time engaged in pursuits that probably exceed the physical and mental limits of the majority, and those who are faint of heart. Hence the title "extreme."
Jennifer Miller, in many ways, represents the modern-day lawyer-athlete: dedicated to her athletic pursuits and her occupation and very aware of the benefits that each offers to the other. Jennifer is a commercial and business litigator with the Phillips McFall law firm, admitted to the Oklahoma Bar in 2003. Outside of her practice she is an accomplished marathoner, having run five complete marathons, including the recently completed (albeit shorter than usual for some) 2007 LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon.
Jennifer first developed her affection for long-distance racing in 2004 when she participated in the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C. She has also completed the 2006 Las Vegas Marathon, the 2005 and 2007 Chicago Marathon and the 2007 Dallas White Rock Marathon. The discipline required to train and complete a marathon is echoed in her professional life, and it demonstrates how through perseverance and determination you can achieve any task—reach any goal. As Jennifer added, it doesn't hurt to be a bit "competitive and adventurous" either.
Preparation for marathons is arduous and time consuming, so Jennifer has to adjust her workday schedule, often rising early for 5 a.m. training runs. Sometimes, it is hard to tell which gets in the way of the other, but she has balanced her role as a lawyer and as a runner. She attributes a lot of that to the supportive attitude of her colleagues at Phillips McFall. Running also permits her to think through issues facing her in the practice of law, though she admits that after mile 18, those thoroughly examined and resolved issues tend to be forgotten!
A supportive family is also important. Jennifer has become an advocate for running, introducing her sister to marathons. Although she claims to be a bit slower than her sister, I suspect that Jennifer is being modest and humble. She also credits her fiancé (a lawyer but not a runner—yet!) and family-to-be (two step-children) with encouraging her running activities. She is hopeful that they will accompany her on long training runs on their bikes!
Like all long-distance runners, Jennifer has her favorite training runs, races and prerace meals. Her favorite training location, along with many other Oklahoma City metro residents, is along the 9.2 miles of the Lake Hefner trails. She says the best time to run is early in the morning so you can watch the sun rise above the horizon. Training for such an event as the marathon does not come without a physical cost though, and Jennifer has had her share of pain and injuries. Her most severe injury was a stress fracture that occurred just 16 weeks before her first marathon. Sidelined from training for 8 weeks in a "boot" she swam almost daily to continue her training. Upon being released to run again, she participated in a triathlon but discovered that was not her favorite event.
Running often takes its participants to unusual and interesting locations. Jennifer says that one of the most interesting places to run was along the Las Vegas Strip during the 2006 Las Vegas Marathon. With the race starting before dawn, she laughed recalling how funny it was to see people stumbling out of casinos at 6 a.m. wondering why anyone would be out running at that time of the morning!
Her favorite race is the 26.2 mile Chicago Marathon, which she has run twice. It is her favorite in spite of the fact that she completed the race in 2007 when temperatures reached over 93 degrees. Race organizers cancelled the race with many runners still on the course. She attributes her training runs under the sweltering Oklahoma sun and humidity with allowing her to complete the entire course, while hundreds of others suffered from heat exhaustion in local hospitals and failed to finish the race.
"The best pre-race meal has to be spaghetti the night before, with a peanut butter bagel the morning of a long run or race," says Jennifer. While many would opt for a meal at a restaurant, she prefers one at home. Runners also enjoy the payoff for their extreme efforts, and Jennifer is no exception. She enjoys a big post-race meal followed by a dessert of choice as a reward for her accomplishment.
Jennifer was an accomplished swimmer in high school, but never took up running until after her law school experience. (In fact she says that she hated running in high school.) With that background, Jennifer's response to the question most frequently asked of marathoners ("why do you do it?") echoes that of thousands of other runners, but is also uniquely her own. "Training for a marathon has taught me a lot about myself. Training has taught me that I do, indeed, have patience…one does not simply wake up one morning and run a marathon. Months of preparation are required. Most importantly, training for a marathon has taught me that anything is possible with a little (and sometimes a lot of) hard work. It's a lesson I take with me each and every day."
Long distance runners must overcome many obstacles in the course of their training and racing. Jennifer has been challenged by stress fractures and running in extreme weather conditions. However, the worst experience was being attacked by Kite Hawks, reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds." In spite of such adversity, she cherishes all of the miles and experiences, knowing they make her more determined than ever to continue running. Next up, Jennifer has been selected to run in the 2008 ING New York Marathon and hopes to run the 2008 Dallas White Rock Marathon. My guess is that she sets a personal record this time, with the support of her new husband and family. Good luck Jennifer! Jennifer was married July 26, 2008 to Thomas Ventura of the Law Offices of Daniel M. Davis. Best wishes to them both.
If you know of any lawyers in OCBA who are engaged in what might be considered an "extreme" sport or activity, please submit their name and contact information to me at bpierson@bancfirst.com or call 270-4791.
