Born in Idaho during 1927, Lilith suffered a shattered left elbow at age 5 when she fell several feet onto a concrete floor while climbing in a southwest Iowa corncrib. A main nerve died when it became sealed in a mesh of healing bones. She suffered a stunted left arm frozen at the elbow despite 14 surgeries in Iowa City during the subsequent nine years. Long stays away from home for surgery in the Steindler Clinic at University of Iowa Children's Hospital engendered a competitive self reliance and fierce independence.
An intellectual genius and world traveler, she accomplished whatever goals she set, including championship golf in the women's leagues near her adult lifetime home in Wausau, Wisconsin. She literally turned a handicap into an advantage, noting the typical instructor's admonition to keep the left arm stiff through the swing of a golf club. With a grin, she'd say: "I never had difficulty doing that."
Painting has been a beloved lifelong hobby. She became an accomplished artist in oil, water color, and enamel oil on varied media. She never offered her works for sale commercially, giving many to family, friends, as prizes on request for various leisure banquets, and used others as decorations for her home.

Unlike the conventional tooth replacements, dental implants offer a durable yet comfortable solution. In fact, these implants feel and look like real teeth, that you can eat and hold a conversation with confidence.
As people age, tooth loss seems an inevitable part of the process. But you have options that are much better than ordinary dentures. In Tauranga, dentists use dental implants that can help you enjoy each meal and to smile with confidence.
Implants look and feel like real teeth, and they are resistant to cavities and tooth decay. There are two common types of dental implants – endosteal and subperiosteal implants. The main difference between the two process is the placement of the implants. As the name suggests, subperiosteal implants are placed onto the jawbone just below the gums and hold only one tooth per implant. Endosteal implants, on the other hand, are fitted directly in the jawbone and can hold a single tooth or the teeth can be grouped on a denture or a bridge.
The process begins when a dentist surgically positions the implant into your jawbone just beneath gums. Once these implants fuse with your jawbone, the dentist will place the artificial crown that feels and looks like your natural teeth. You can be sure they won't shift or slip as you eat or speak.
Since they comprise of two parts, the root and the top portion, implants offer more options. They can hold individual crowns, bridges, and dentures.
While this tooth replacement involves surgery, it offers a long-lasting solution to tooth loss. Best of all, it doesn't entail grinding down or preparing the adjacent teeth to anchor your new tooth.
Tooth loss can cause you a great deal of grief and embarrassment and lessen your self-confidence. Thanks to modern dental technology such as dental implants, you can have the self-confidence and great smile you are missing.

Berkhamsted actor stars in music phenomenon Hairspray
The Nicest Kids are back in town!
Monday, 29th November 2021, 11:33 am
An actor from Berkhamsted stars in international musical phenomenon Hairspray when it returns to Milton Keynes Theatre this week.
After breaking box office records and delighting audiences in the West-End, on Broadway and on the big screen since 1988, this smash hit musical-comedy is at last on the road again.
The show follows vivacious heroine Tracy Turnblad, who has big hair, a big heart, and big dreams to dance her way onto national TV, and into the heart of teen idol Link Larkin.
Alex Bourne (Edna) in Hairspray
When Tracy becomes a local star, she is able to use her newfound fame to fight for liberation, tolerance, and interracial unity in Baltimore.
Starring as Tracy's lovable mother, Edna Turnblad, is Berkhamsted-based Alex Bourne.
Alex has been a stalwart in the West End scene for many years performing in musical hits such as Annie, Mamma Mia and We Will Rock You.
Here he talks about all things Hairspray:
Alex Bourne (Edna) and Katie Brace (Tracy) in Hairspray
How does it feel to be performing so close to your hometown in Berkhamsted?
I love Milton Keynes and especially the theatre. It's so exciting to be a short train ride home and hopefully loads of friends will be able to see the show.
Are you looking forward to spending a week at home after touring around the country?
I've been so lucky as I recently commuted to Woking as well. You can't beat waking up in your own bed, but I'll have to do the school run!
Is there anywhere in the local area that you'll be squeezing in a visit to during your time in Milton Keynes?
I love the centre:mk especially at Christmas, they always have a wonderful grotto.
What special memories does Berkhamsted hold for you?
I grew up in Cheltenham but have been in Berkhamsted for 17 years, so it totally feels like home. Berko is the best, it has everything!
When and where did your love for theatre begin?
I did am-dram with my mum as a kid and I used to go and see everything at the Everyman in Cheltenham and the Birmingham Hippodrome.
How has the Hairspray tour been so far?
We opened before restrictions were lifted, so it was a weird beginning - after being at home for 18 months. But it's going very smoothly all things considered. It's the perfect show to get people back in the theatre.
How does it feel to be performing again?
I thought it would be strange, but it's like the last 18 months didn't happen. Just feels normal.
Tell us a little bit about your character, Edna Turnblad.
She's a mother to Tracy and a wife to Wilbur. She has just run her laundry business from home for many years and hasn't really been out in the real world. She has become shy and reclusive - and loves her food! But Tracy decides to change all that and show her mother what she is missing.
What's your favourite thing about playing her?
Performing the song "You're Timeless To Me" with Norman Pace (who plays Wilbur).
Why should people come and see Hairspray?
[It's] a brilliant story told by an extraordinary cast and one banging song after another. I have never seen a reaction like this to any show I've ever been in.
Alex and the Hairspray cast head to Milton Keynes Theatre tonight (Monday) until Saturday, December 4. Tickets for Hairspray are available from ATGTICKETS.COM/MiltonKeynes.

In the past, oral cancer was thought to be an old man's disease, mainly coming from years of smoking. We know now that while men are affected with oral cancer about twice as much as women and lifestyle is a huge factor in oral cancer development. What's new, however, is the rising trend of oral cancer in young people.


Have any former Catholics chosen to be excommunicated?
I am a journalist (and atheist) who got excommunicated a couple of years ago. It is a really simple process that I thought I should do so that I was officially no longer counted as a member of the Church.
Has anyone else here chosen to be excommunicated? If you have, could I ask you a few questions about your experience? I am writing a piece about it for Vice News.
If you haven't already, ask at /r/excatholic.
According to the Catholic Church, an excommunicated Catholic is still Catholic. Excommunication just means you are disobedient and not allowed to receive sacraments.
That said, it's incredibly easy to get an automatic excommunication, also known as a latae sententiae excommunication. Just stop attending mass and receiving "Holy" Communion, and you've excommunicated yourself from the Catholic Church. Some chose to take the extra step of writing a letter saying that you no longer consider yourself a member of their church, and they will attach it to your baptism record.
But whether one writes a letter, simply walks away, or gets a formal excommunication by the RC Church hierarchy, one is still considered Catholic by the RC Church—just a disobedient Catholic who isn't allowed to receive the sacraments. If you want to write about it, you'd better make that distinction.
Edit to add: I forgot that in countries which give part of a person's taxes to the church he/she belongs to, there is a way to officially renounce Catholicism for legal purposes. It's definitely worth taking that step to cut off the financial support.
That isn't actually fully accurate. Excommunicated catholics are still considered catholics because baptism is a sacrament that cannot be broken - completely true - but the mark put next to your name on baptismal records when you request excommunication means that you are no longer counted in church censuses. I have done my research.

When you look out into your yard to admire its lush, green lawn, the last thing you want to see is stringy weeds, brown patches or bald spots.
Luckily, overseeding is an effective remedy for those pesky lawn issues. Learn when and why it's important to overseed your lawn based on where you live.
It thickens turf, which discourages weed growth.
It repairs burned or bare spots of grass brought on by summer's heat.
It improves the overall strength and vigor of the lawn.
It's the best way to create a uniform-looking lawn without having to do a full renovation.
The trick to proper overseeding is knowing your grass type. The two main kinds of turf—warm season and cool season grasses—are on different seeding schedules. Below are the most common grass types in each region of the U.S.
When to Overseed: Overseed in late summer or early fall to give seeds about a month to develop before the region's first frost.
When to Overseed: Plan to overseed in mid-August to mid-September.
When to Overseed: Overseed in the South during mid-spring or early summer. That's when soil temperatures are warm enough for the seeds to develop.
Turf Type: Both! In the Pacific Northwest, there are cool season grasses while in the Southwest there are warm season grasses.
When to Overseed: Overseed cool season grasses about six weeks before winter hits, and revamp your warm season grass in early spring.
Aerate! By poking tiny holes in the soil, or aerating, you help more air, water and nutrients reach grass roots. Then, when you plant your new grass seed, they'll have a better chance of sprouting and growing strong roots.

What do you know about moving companies? If you haven't done much research, you may not be aware of all the benefits professional San Diego Movers have to offer, or how affordable they are.
Here are six signs it's time to do some research on moving companies for your big move.
Moving big furniture around tight corners involves some problem solving. Professional San Diego movers can take out the frustration, as they're used to doing this frequently.
Also, if you never were a Tetris fan, you probably don't like the idea of rearranging boxes in the truck to fit perfectly. Movers take care of that for you.
Most San Diego moving companies offer all-in-one package deals. This means the truck, moving equipment, insurance, and movers are all factored into one price. Not only can this be cheaper, it saves you the time of hiring several different companies.
Pianos, pool tables, collectors items, china, and other valuables may make your anxiety soar on moving day. San Diego movers are used to moving breakables and heavy, valuable furniture, so you can relax knowing your treasure is in good hands.
This may seem silly, but what kind of experience do you have with large trucks? Driving a truck is a lot different from a car, and many people find it to be somewhat nerve-wracking.
A San Diego moving company will be able to drive your stuff to your new home, allowing you to ride in your car.
To move safely and efficiently, you need certain tools to get the job done. Some of them you may be able to anticipate, but some you may realize you need last-minute, which may cause delays.
San Diego moving companies will arrive fully prepared with the right equipment needed to move your belongings safely out of your old home and into your new one.
It can be a lot cheaper to hire a moving company if you're moving long distance. Since you won't have to worry about hauling anything, you can arrive at your new home any way you want. This can help you save on hotel stays, meals on the road, pet boarding, and more.
If any of these situations apply to you, please contact Vector Moving and Storageto find out how we can help.


Johnstownbridge (Irish: Baile Droichead Sheáin) is a rapidly expanding commuter town located in north County Kildare, Ireland. in the parish of Cadamstown, the district of Balyna, and barony of Carbury. It is located on the R402 road between Enfield and Edenderry just off the M4 motorway.
The bridge was the scene of a battle in the 1798 rebellion between Michael Aylmer's rebel forces and British colonial forces. Johnstownbridge had a patent granted in the 17th century for holding a weekly market on Monday, but Lewis's Topography noted in 1837 that "this privilege has not been enjoyed for many years: fairs are held on March 31 May 29 October 13th, and December 21st." Lewis also noted "a curious old cross, the only relic to mark the site of an abbey that formerly existed here.". A constabulary police station was based here in the first half of the 19th century. One of Daniel O'Connell's colleagues in Irish independence movement Richard More O'Ferrall (1797–1880), MP for Kildare 1839-57 and 1859–65, lived in Balyna house.
The town is served by St Patricks National School.
Johnstownbridge GAA, the local Gaelic Athletic Association club, has won the Kildare football championship three times.

On the surface, your dog's nose may look wet, wriggling, and cute. But your pup's nose is actually a powerful device that guides him through his days in pretty impressive ways. Here are some interesting facts about your dog's sense of smell that prove canines have superior sniffers.
One for smell and one for respiration. A canine's nose has the ability to separate air.
A portion goes directly to the olfactory sensing area (which distinguishes scents), while the other portion is dedicated to breathing.
When sniffing, dogs noses are designed so that air can move in and out at the same time.
This creates a continuous circulation of air, unlike humans who have to either breathe in or out only.
This is called the vomeronasal organ and it helps canines detect pheromones, chemicals released by animals that affect other members of the same species.
This organ plays an important role in reproduction and other aspects of canine physiology and behavior.
Dogs can smell separately with each nostril.
Just as our eyes compile two slightly different views of the world, and our brain combines them to form a 3-D picture, a dog's brain uses the different odor profiles from each nostril to determine exactly where smelly objects are in the environment.
A dog's sense of smell is its most powerful sense.
It is so sensitive that dogs can detect the equivalent of a 1/2 a teaspoon of sugar in an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

Here's What You Need To Know about Detoxes
Olivia Manno
With winter on its way out and glorious spring days in sight, it's natural to want your body to feel as fresh as the weather. A detox can seem like a logical choice—but it's important to understand how they can affect your body. " 'Detox' has become a buzzword," says Peggy Swistak, MS, RDN, CD, of Pacific Northwest Ballet. "They promise to eliminate any 'toxins', but we have organs like the kidneys and liver to do that for us. However, some detoxes won't cause real harm if done in a controlled way over a short span of time."
"Juice cleanses are a popular form of detoxing," Swistak says. The duration of a juice cleanse can range anywhere from a day to a week. However, Swistak warns that more than three days is an extreme approach. "One day isn't bad, but if you're only drinking juice for three or more days while dancing regularly, you're depleting your muscles of glycogen—a key factor in maintaining energy."
It's no secret that crankiness is a symptom of hunger. Depriving your body of solid foods during a juice cleanse will make you prone to snapping. "Dancers might experience headaches, irritability and shakiness—none of which is helpful to their dancing," Swistak says.
The Master Cleanse
The master cleanse is among the most extreme variations of detoxing. It consists of water with lemon juice, maple syrup, cayenne pepper and a nightly laxative, with no solid foods at all. "Dancers need to understand that while a day of the master cleanse might make them feel lighter, it comes at a cost," Swistak says. "On the master cleanse, you'll be losing energy and muscle, which is a recipe for disaster."
Raw-Foods Cleanse
While many people choose to follow a raw-food diet as a lifestyle, it's also a common short-term detox option. But sticking to it even for a few days can be difficult. "You can't really eat anything at restaurants, so everything you consume must be prepared in advance," Swistak says. Another factor to consider is the need for daily nutrients. "By its nature, this cleanse is very low in calcium and vitamins D and B12. You'd need to eat a huge amount of fruits, nuts and seeds to meet your daily requirements and sustain the energy you need for dancing."
Swistak also cautions dancers against this cleanse because of its health risks. "Everything is unpasteurized and raw, which drastically increases the chances of contracting listeria, salmonella and other food-borne illnesses," she says. "At some point you have to ask yourself if it's really worth it."

The Venture Bros. cartoon, which began airing on The Cartoon Network in 2003, was created by Christopher McCulloch (aka. Jackson Publick) and Doc Hammer. The show is centered around Dr. Thaddeus Venture, his two teenage sons and their Secret Agent bodyguard, Brock Samson (voiced by Patrick Warburton). It's sort of a twisted take on the Jonny Quest universe with a number of characters from that show even popping up from time to time.
As for hypothetical spin off's and such, they'd love to do pretty much anything you can think of. An entire episode of the old Rusty Venture Cartoon, a full Dr. Orpheus spin off, any of it. Hammer said, "We love writing for our characters. You can't come up with a dumb enough idea that we're not like yeah that's not great, but it'll probably never happen." Asked what they would do with no restrictions, things got crazy pretty quick. They'd love to use more songs and things from pop culture without having to pay for them and Hammer added he'd do a lot of jokes involving fists that I won't detail here. They did add that in all seriousness, there's not a whole lot that they have to fight for and a lot of it has to do with what Family Guy can get away with. A show on Cartoon Network at 11pm is a far cry from a show on network TV in prime time so it's worked out for the best for them.
A Venture Bros. comic book? Probably not going to happen. They'd want to write it themselves and there's just no time right now. They also said they tend to be kind of control freaks making it difficult to give it to someone else. This led right into my question about a Venture Bros. video game. This is something I'd definitely like to see but this also will probably never happen, mostly because of time but also because Hammer hates video games. It's because he gets motion sick easily and even though he buys every system that comes out, he can't find a game that works for him. He tried L.A. Noire and two scenes in said, "I don't care, I don't care what this guy did, I just wanna steal a car and crash into some things." Someone asked what about Pong and Hammer said he had no problem with that but it was boring. He said he even gets sick playing Bejeweled when the jewels drop but he probably wasn't serious.
There's no chance of a Venture Bros. musical episode, even though just saying that makes them want to do it. They've decided they're not show tune guys and Matt and Trey from South Park know how to do it better than anyone so they're not going to try.
When asked about whether they ever believed the show would be this successful or run this long, McCulloch said that they figured they'd be "successful enough to stay on, but never be a big mainstream thing" and that they'd be a cult hit and be happy with that. They also felt that "by season three or four we'd be done creatively" but when they were writing the season four finale they came up with ideas for three or four episodes that will be in season five. It's great because they feel they're at a creative high point and they're loving what they're doing right now. Hopefully that means that we'll see many more episodes past season six.
Check out the Venture Bros. cosplay from the weekend along with the public signing on Saturday in the gallery below.

Visiting The Harry Potter Studio Tour
I'm a fan of the Harry Potter books, films and associated items, as evidence by the Harry Potter category on this blog. Therefore, it's surprising that I haven't included my experiences of visiting the Harry Potter Studio Tour in Leavesden (which is not in London, not matter what the website tells you). My partner and I have been not once, but twice, first in 2012 and again in 2017 when new sections were added; we would happily go again. Time to rectify the omission from the blog and talk about the tour, but mostly as an excuse to post some of the many, many photographs that were taken.
The first time we visited was with deliberate planning: go on a weekday that isn't during a school holiday so that we could lessen if not avoid the crowd. We also had to time our travelling because we don't have a car (the second visit would see us in a rental car we had got for the week, booking tickets on the morning as we woke up and then tearing around the M25 to get to the studio for our allotted time), so had to take the train and the special Harry Potter bus that runs twice an hour to take you on the 15-minute journey to the Leavesden studios, just outside of Watford.
When on the train, we noticed some people who had some Potter-related clothing, so it prepared us for the fact that we weren't the only ones who had made plans to visit the studio tour, and that it would be busy. When we were queueing for the bus (alas, not a triple-decker Knight Bus, but an ordinary double-decker with Harry Potter film imagery on a dark-blue background), there were lots of tourists waiting, which makes sense because it is the easiest way for them to visit.
When we were on the bus journey, there was a short introductory video to get you in the mood, if you weren't already, which fortunately didn't last too long. It was odd, travelling in the big bus through normal roads and avenues, a strange sight that people living there must have got used to by now, but I suppose it makes thematic sense with the journey of the first film from the Muggle world to the world of magic. The appearance of a sign to Leavesden suggested we were nearing our destination, and soon we could see the huge aircraft-hangar-sized buildings (with handy Harry Potter imagery on the side). The excitement was palpable …
We arrived around 11am and had to pick up our tickets, which were printed out: one had Hedwig on it, the other had Fang, and you are half-tempted to go back so you can get them all. There were a few of the huge chess pieces from the first film outside, which were the first things to be photographed (we went crazy on the digital cameras – we had deliberately charged up the batteries for the DSLR and the separate compact camera the night before to ensure maximum capacity – and took approximately 700 photos between us).
Inside the Studio Tour
After entering the building, we popped into the store to see what prices were like – in short, ridiculously expensive. I felt sorry for parents because there was nothing cheap to buy as a small memento of the day; I think the cheapest thing I saw was a lollipop for about £2. There were house scarves (about £25, I think) and posters and wands and sweets (Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans were £8 for a small box of Jelly Belly Beans, chocolate and white chocolate wands for about £7, chocolate frogs for £7). There were lots of very furry cuddly animals, such as Hedwig and Buckbeak and Crookshank, but also a Scabbers. You could buy wizarding robes and house ties and brooms (small toy ones), as well as the more expensive memorabilia such as replica wands and time turners and Slytherin lockets.
We returned to the foyer, which has lots of large photos around the upper walls, as well as a large planetary model thing, before deciding to join the queue before our time – even though it was a non-holiday Friday morning, there were still lots of people. We joined a snaking queue that took us past a replica of the room under the stairs before being allowed in at almost 11.30am, which happened to be our entry time. We went into a dark room where a person introduced us to the event, with the wall covered in foreign-language posters of the films, before being taken into the cinema auditorium next door. When everyone was seated, another person got us ready for the next stage with some humour before introducing the short film, which had Dan, Emma and Rupert talking about the exhibit and how lovely it was that everyone could see it. They went through the large doors to the Hogwarts Great Hall; the film ended, the screen raised, and it was exactly the same thing – the doors to the Great Hall through which we would start our tour.
We were eventually let in – there is a timing schedule between groups – and allowed into the Great Hall itself, with the original floors and tables and fireplace, and various house robes and costumes. There was another person talking about the various things in the Great Hall, but we were too busy photographing things. It was fantastic to be in there, to be on what was the set, with the lights above and the attention to detail on the tables and on the walls. At the far end was the high table with costumes for all the professors, and we could easily have spent a lot longer there; however, this was the only part of the tour where time was limited and we were ushered out for the next group to come through.
After that, there was no time restriction and you could wander around and be as slow as you like, which we did. It was amazing: the amount and the level of detail involved was unbelievable. There were various areas from the films, as well as themed collections of things, so there was Umbridge's room in the Ministry, plus her costume and associated items, or the kitchen in the Burrow with costumes and various props, including buttons for kids (and adult) to press to move things such as the pan scourer or the iron on the ironing boards. There was a huge collection of wands, there was the Mirror of Erised, there was a huge cage in the middle that had a massive collection of background objects, perhaps from the Room of Requirement, all in exquisite detail for a moment's screen time, such as the huge troll armour and the tiny house-elf armour, plus a royal skeleton with accompanying jewels and sceptre.
There were costumes for all the characters around, plus Hagrid's hut, the Vanishing Cabinet, a collection of books from Flourish and Blott's bookshop, a portion of the outside of offices from the Ministry, Dumbledore's office (we could walk into the front section but could only photograph the main desk and then the upper section – the Sorting Hat was there, as well as the sword of Gryffindor and the Pensieve and many, many books, which were apparently old phone books covered in leather). There was part of the massive statue from the Ministry foyer, there were paintings from the walls of Hogwarts (which were mostly members of the production crew – there was an associated video showing you who was who). There was information about the animals used on set, but there was also interaction: there was a room set aside for green screen, so you could fly on a broom or drive the Weasley's car and get a photograph of yourself with the image filled in; they even had wizard and Quidditch robes to put on to make it more real. We declined because we aren't kids – there were lots of university-age people who had grown up with the books/films who were very keen, as were the younger kids and tourists. (There were lots of student-age people in various levels of Hogwarts clothes and wizarding robes, cosplaying their time around the tour – it was nice to see the affection people have for the books and films.)
Then there was the Diagon Alley stage – it looked like a smaller-scale version of the main visual, with all the shops (Weasley Wizarding Wheezes, Flourish and Blotts, Madam Malkin, Eyelops Owl Emporium) with various props in the windows, with the lights of the ceiling going up and down in brightness to get different types of shots. It was a particular thrill walking along this street, from the entrance to Gringott's up the slight incline, seeing wizarding brooms in the window (which levitated), and up to the Weasley head lifting the top hat over the rabbit – it wasn't like being there but it worked more than the Great Hall because Diagon Alley should be a messy throng of people looking in shop windows and getting in each other's way, so it felt more natural compared with the artifice of a guide telling us facts and then hurrying us out.
The next stage was the food stop – there was a stall selling sandwiches and a stall selling butterbeer, which is a root beer-like drink with a creamy vanilla topping on it. We got one (we didn't bother doubling the price to get a glass with the word 'butterbeer' on it because it was expensive enough already) to have with our sandwiches, which we had sitting on tables they had outside. Some were under cover next to the building, but some were in the open air, which is where we had ours.
In this outer section they had larger items: there was the Knight Bus (you could stand on the back platform and look inside) and number 4 Privet Drive used in the later films; there was the flying car, which you could get inside and take photos of you in it, as well as Sirius's flying bike, which you could sit and get in the sidecar as well (we didn't do either); there was the bridge from Hogwarts to Hagrid's (not in the books, it was created by Alfonso Cuaron for the third film and then included in the rest); there was the damaged house of the Potters (although no magical hologram); there were more large chess pieces from the first film before you went back inside again.
Inside the Studio Tour, part two
The other side of the tour was about the behind-the-scenes stuff: the first room was all the creature work, with lots of make-up stuff and models of various magical creatures. There was a large Buckbeak model that moved, a dragon hanging from the ceiling, Hagrid's model head put on the stand-ins for Robbie Coltrane in mid-shots. These were all joined together by several short films hosted by Warwick Davis and the head of the department responsible for all the creature stuff over all the films, which went from one section to the next to explain all the various aspects in a fun fashion. It was another amazing amount of detail involved and hard work to create these beautiful objects.
There was an Aragog model before we went into the art department. There were lots of blueprints of buildings and props (they had the blueprint for the house-elf armour) as well as white paper models of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade, used to work out shots. There were lots of beautiful paintings of the films, used as storyboard/mood pieces, which any Harry Potter fan would be happy to have on their walls and could easily fill an exhibition in their own right. This led into the huge model of Hogwarts that was used for external shots – it was about 20 feet high and about 30 feet wide (I think – see the photos for the scale) and we could walk around it all the way down, with the lights going up and down so we could see it both in daytime and night-time (with lights coming on in various bits of the model). It was another amazing prop, which fantastic detail and scale, something that needed to be constantly worked on throughout the films.
The final part of the tour was a sort of Ollivander's, with walls full of wand boxes for every one of the ~4,000 people involved in the production of the films (although you couldn't see the wands in the boxes – they just had people's names written on the end of the box, but it was impressive to see a 'real-life' approximation of Ollivander's). This was the end of the tour and it was quite sad to leave – we'd been in there for five hours but we could have spent more time in there. I was half tempted to go back the way we came so we could see it all again, even though it would have been against the flow; you are free to spend as much time as you like in the tour and take as many photos as you want, and I think we got our money's worth. Still, it was a wrench to walk past the sign that said that we couldn't go back, and then go into the shop.
We were disciplined in the shop – the only memento we have is a fridge magnet of 'Have you seen this wizard?' of Sirius Black (although it's supposed to be a photo frame you can change, we've kept Sirius in there and has pride of place on our fridge). The shop was full of people and merchandise, the queues were long, despite many assistants working on the tills – the shop was performing a massive 'accio money' on the visitors … We left the building and headed to the queue for the bus back to the station; the weather was grey and a little drizzly now, which seemed appropriate for the mood, but we had thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

Q: using Reflection.PropertyInfo I need to loop through an object's properties and for each properties set 2 values.
for example say you have a car class:
 Class car
  Property Wheel1 As Wheel
  Property Wheel2 As Wheel
  Property Wheel3 As Wheel
  Property Wheel4 As Wheel
 End Class

and each wheel has a set of properties:
 Class Wheel
  Property size As Integer
  Property type As Integer
 End Class

is there a way to dynamically loop through an object that has wheels and set all of its wheels to size=5 and type=1.
this is where i got stuck trying to get it to work:
 Dim ThisCar As New car
  Dim Wheels() As Reflection.PropertyInfo = ThisCar.GetType().GetProperties()
  Dim i As Integer = 0
  Do Until i = Wheels.Count
   Dim TempWheel As Reflection.PropertyInfo = Wheels(i)

   Dim WheelProps() As Reflection.PropertyInfo = TempWheel.GetType().GetProperties()

   i = i + 1
  Loop

the WheelProps are not the properties off the wheel as required...

A: You should use TempWheel.PropertyType() instead of just TempWheel.GetType()
or you just set the Wheel like this:
foreach(var pInfo in typeof(car).GetProperties()
{
  if(pInfo.PropertyType == typeof(Wheel))
  {
    // Get the value of existing wheel
    var wheel = (Wheel)pInfo.GetValue(ThisCar);
    Console.WriteLine(wheel.size);
    Console.WriteLine(wheel.type);

    // Set the value of wheel
    wheel.size = 5;
    wheel.type = 1;

    //pInfo.SetValue(ThisCar, new Wheel() {size = 5, type = 1}, null);
  }
}

But why don't implement car with a List<Wheel>?

Education Department Brings $3.2B Budget Request To Oklahoma Lawmakers
Public Radio Tulsa | By Matt Trotter
In the year's first budget hearing, Oklahoma State Department of Education officials presented their $3.2 billion request to state lawmakers.
It represents a 6% increase — $191 million — over the current fiscal year appropriation, with most going toward the state funding formula for public schools.
Education officials acknowledged Monday enrollment is down 9,500 students. Three-fourths of the enrollment drop is in pre-K and kindergarten. State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister said they believe the decline has a lot to do with anxiety about the pandemic and that enrollment is likely to pick back up next year when more families are comfortable putting kids in school, though they'll have missed some important time.
"It is certainly going to mean that the next years from here on are going to mean actually a great level of support that will be needed to give to these children who lost those foundational years," Hofmeister said.
There's $18 million of the requested increase planned for the first year of a three-year plan to hire one-thousand new school counselors. The education department has been asking for funding to start that for three years now.
Hofmeister said given the social and economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic and the already high rate of adverse childhood experiences in the state, getting more counselors into schools is vital.
"We know food insecurity, even homelessness or home insecurity, can factor into this for Oklahoma children. Second, we know that toxic stress can impair child brain development, particularly with our youngest children," Hofmeister said.
The recommended student to counselor ratio is 250 to one. Oklahoma's is 412 to one.
The budget request also includes increased funding for compliance with the state Reading Sufficiency Act. The percentage of students at risk of falling below grade level is up in first, second and third grades.

Gothic Horror Arrives with Today's Release of Black Mirror
[ATTACH=CONFIG]20445[/ATTACH]
Get ready for some Gothic-horror adventure when you jump into the world of Black Mirror. King Art Games and THQ Nordic released this modern re-imagining of an old series for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
About Black Mirror
Like in the original graphic adventure trilogy, the Gothic Horror genre and its unique atmosphere of madness and psychological distress remains at the heart of Black Mirror.
The point-and-click style of the original trilogy served as the basis for the re-imagined gameplay, which focuses on close-up investigation and interaction with nightmarish visions that plague the protagonist of the game David Gordon.
While it says that the game is out today, it seems as though this is a rolling release around the world. Meaning that you may have to wait until November 28 in order to play the game, especially if you're buying the game through Steam. The game, no matter where you buy it, is going for $29.99 (USD).

"Let's Go Sunshine" by The Kooks – Review
by new media director · September 13, 2018
Review by Matthew Lawhead
The Kooks debut album Inside In/Inside Out was the fifth best selling album of 2006 in England and spent one hundred weeks on the charts, peaking at number two behind the Arctic Monkeys' Whatever People Say I am, That's What I'm Not. Twelve years later, and four years since their last release, the Kooks have released their fifth album, Let's Go Sunshine.
Writing began in 2015 as a follow up to the controversially experimental Listen, but was scrapped because the sound "wasn't really the Kooks." However, the now tangential fourth album maintains a heavy influence here, especially with the background vocals that can be heard throughout the album. Let's Go Sunshine feels like the Kooks have returned to their classic style but attached to it everything they have learned since their debut. It has a much more mature sound than anything else they have ever released, and it works very well. In many ways, this album is the perfect marriage of the 2006 and 2014 versions of the band.
Many of the songs on display are the best that the Kooks have ever written, with standouts "Chicken Bone" and "Pamela" nearly matching the iconic "Naive" of their debut. "Believe" feels like they wanted to take the sound of dreary "See Me Now" from Listen and recreate it with the level of quality that it was lacking and serves as a highlight this time. The best track of all though is the revisited "Picture Frame" which was originally from 2011's Junk of the Heart. It has a completely new sound and shows the depths of maturity the Kooks are capable of now.
Even still, Let's Go Sunshine is by no means a perfect album. At times it can feel like it is relying too heavily on nostalgia, and after the wildly experimental Listen, it sometimes feels like it is playing things too safe. It is also a bit too long and can drag at times, but the individual strength of each song allows it to be an enjoyable listen from the first to last time you hear "We're just having a good time…"
Final Verdict: While it's not the Rubber Soul that Luke Pritchard was hoping for, it is undoubtedly the best Kooks album to date.
Score: 8.5/10

Upcoming Cryptocurrency Chia Aims To Challenge Bitcoin's Throne
Reading Time: 2 minutes by Shaurya Malwa on March 30, 2018 Altcoins, Bitcoin, Blockchain, Business, News, Tech
Issues of scalability, volatility, and speed have plagued Bitcoin, slowing the promise it once showed. But, a promising startup called Chia Network aims to capitalize what the flagship cryptocurrency started, minus the mistakes made by the current largest cryptocurrency.
Neither Consuming nor Wasting Electricity: The Promise of Chia
The firm is currently raising funds from Silicon Valley investors to build their own blockchain powered by a new, novel, 'proof-of-space' technology, rather than proof of work (PoW) that bitcoin uses.
It does not consume electricity or in the founder Bram Cohen's words, "waste electricity," like bitcoin.
My new company: Chia Network https://t.co/VgS7uWV2MJ
— Bram Cohen (@bramcohen) November 3, 2017
With a plan to launch Chia in Q1 of 2019, the company is aggressively raising money from investors which include Naval Ravikant, Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock, among others.
Ravikant recently led a $3.39 million seed round raise for Chia Coin.
Chia's Tech
In its innovative technology model, Chia ditches PoW and makes use of free storage that a user's computer possesses. Adding to this is the company's proof-of-time layer that efficiently minimizes a coordinated attack against its proof-of-space system.
To prevent the formation of mining pools, which can result in abuse of the network, Chia is introducing a "non-outsource ability."
Simply put, Chia enables any mining participant to leave the system without a trace and with the rewards, thus purposefully creating a sense of distrust among fellow miners.
Due to these features, Cohen believes that his company capitalizes on Bitcoin's issues and solves both the electricity waste and centralization of Nakamoto's creation.
Chia to Ditch the ICO Route
In a bold move, Chia shall avoid using the route of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), a bubble-like phenomenon that results in product-less companies having outrageous valuations.
Ryan Singer, President of Chia, said:
"It's avoiding the often-abused ICO process that causes a lot of issues with regulatory uncertainty and investor protection."
Instead, Chia would work with both the SEC and General Council to either implement the JOBS Act's Regulation A+ equity crowdfunding rule or, conduct a "mini-IPO."
Using this route, a maximum of $50 Million would be raised from the public, including non-accredited amateur investors.
"People who buy in an ICO are uncertain of how the company will spend the money and how they'll get the things they were promised. We're going to operate the company with the transparency and accountability expected of a public company, which is very different than most ICOs.", said Singer, who is the COO of many blockchain companies.
And if this happens, Chia's IPO shall be the first fully compliant public offering for a crypto company, observes BTCManager.
Chia's Development On Full Flow
Cohen is no stranger to the world of decentralized technologies. His BitTorrent protocol was once estimated to handle 40 percent of the world's internet traffic per day.
Before its awaited coin launch, Chia is aggressively hiring engineers who specialize in blockchain, network protocols, advanced mathematics, and cryptography.
Stressing on the kind of work involved, Cohen said:
"There's been a fair amount of pretty deep algorithmic work and that's been going quite well, but these are things that have to be taken seriously, you absolutely must worry on a technical level about all the ways something could go wrong because building secure distributed databases is hard."
How far would this eco-friendly bitcoin go, is all that remains to be seen.

The Convention Centre in Dublin is a new, purpose-built, world-class conference centre and event venue. Designed by Pritzker award-winning Irish architect Kevin Roche, the building features a stunning glass-fronted atrium running the full height of the building providing panoramic views of the River Liffey, Dublin City Centre and the Wicklow mountains.
The building's cutting-edge architecture demanded that the interiors be equally as impressive. Boasting the latest technology and innovative layouts the furniture needed to reflect this modern, high spec appearance whilst incorporating a sense of Irish nationality.
A bespoke non-arm Forum chair, upholstered in traditional emerald green, had been shortlisted due to its moulded seat and durable steel frame, providing guaranteed comfort and ergonomic quality. The Forum's linking and numbering functions also made this an ideal match for the conference halls. Boss Design was successfully selected to provide chairs for the Convention Centre delivering 50 Delphi chairs and 5000 specialist Forum chairs.
Nick Waight, Managing Director of The International Convention Centre Birmingham (The ICC) and CEO of The Convention Centre Dublin, commented; "I've worked with Boss Design for many years and together we designed the perfect conference chair for The ICC. When it came to selecting a chair for The CCD there was no doubt that Boss Design chairs were the best option. They are fit for purpose, good quality and, I know from experience, they will stand the test of time."

If one of your teeth has substantial tooth decay, your dentist may recommend that you get a filling. A filling will allow this tooth to maintain its correct function and structure even though some of the tooth may be removed because of the decay.
When a tooth has tooth decay or has been cracked, the dentist will remove the part of the tooth that was decayed and replace it with a filling. A filling is a solid piece of material that will fill in the missing part of the tooth.
A filling will allow you to continue to eat and function as normal. It will also keep bacteria from getting into the area of the tooth that was removed. Fillings prevent further decay on the areas they cover, but not necessarily on the rest of the tooth.
When many children hear the word "filling," they immediately correlate the term with pain. It's important to impress on your children that the dentist is here to help. Explain how a filling can actually save your child's tooth.
If your child is very frightened by the idea of getting a filling, always remember that we provide sedation for these types of procedures. Please remember that by attending routine dental check-ups, your dentist will be able to catch tooth decay early on and take action immediately.


If you're sniggering at the back having read the title of this blog post, we should perhaps point out that by 'specialist accommodation provider', we're not referring to the practice of offering hotel rooms by the hour.
However, the hoteliers promoting the use of their properties for such erm… endeavours… may well have a point.
In episode 3 of the Welcome Systems podcast, we invite founder and CEO of Right Revenue, Adrienne Hanna, to unpick the contentious subject of rate management for hotels.
We're delighted to announce that we have appointed Checkout (CI) Ltd as the sole agent in The Channel Islands for the Welcome Anywhere hotel booking system.
You have to be very careful with the word 'trend' in the hotel industry.
We've seen plenty of supposed hospitality trends come and go. Most recently, we've witnessed the expected rise of 'social travel' – where strangers with common travel desires use Twitter to pool their resources and travel together – come to nothing.
May 2018 will see the arrival of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). And, if your business stores personal data (which, let's be honest, most do these days), you'll need to comply – or risk heavy fines.
In episode 2 of the Welcome Systems podcast, we invite Mark Ferguson from More Fire PR to discuss how hotels can manage their reputation both on- and offline.

Chipperfield is a village and civil parish in the Dacorum district of Hertfordshire, England, approximately five miles southwest of Hemel Hempstead and five miles north of Watford. It stands on a chalk plateau at the edge of the Chiltern Hills, between 130 and 160 metres above sea level.

The village green is at the centre of Chipperfield on the edge of the 117 acre Chipperfield Common. The rural parish includes the hamlet of Tower Hill.

History
Prehistoric activity in the area is testified by the presence of two tumuli on the common. Besides being burial mounds these may have designated the boundary of lands worked by Bronze Age communities in the Gade and Chess valleys.

For centuries Chipperfield was an outlying settlement of Kings Langley consisting only of scattered houses. The first documentary evidence of the name is found in 1316, when Edward II bequeathed 'the Manor House of Langley the closes adjoining together with the vesture of Chepervillewode for Fewel and other Necessaries' to the Dominican Black Friars.

The name is probably derived from the Anglo-Saxon ceapere meaning a trader together with feld meaning field. This suggests that there was some form of market or trading of goods here in early times.

The Manor House, on the east side of the common, is a late medieval hall house but was extensively rebuilt by Thomas Gulston, before 1591. It is a Grade II* listed building.

By the 1830s Chipperfield was large enough to warrant the building of both Anglican and Baptist churches and became a separate ecclesiastical parish in 1848.

For a number of years the Lords of the Manor were the Blackwell family who were benefactors to the village. Two of the family's sons were killed during World War One. Second Lieutenant Charles Blackwell (4th battalion, Royal Fusiliers) was wounded at the Second Battle of Ypres and died in France in July 1915. Lieutenant William Gordon Blackwell (8th battalion, Royal Fusiliers), the younger of the two brothers, was killed in action during the Battle of the Somme on 5 October 1916. As a memorial the Blackwell family gave the village the village club, which remained a club until recently. It has now been renamed Blackwells and is both a bar and cafe open to the public next to the common.

The names of 38 local men who died in World War One are inscribed on the War Memorial on the village green and repeated on a memorial plaque inside the church. An additional name appears on a war grave in the churchyard. There are also the names of 10 men who died in World War Two.

In 1936 Chipperfield Common was gifted to the local authority to be maintained in consultation with the people of Chipperfield.

Since the end of World War II the village has dramatically expanded with housing estates built during the 1940s and an extensive council estate to the east of Croft Lane built in the 1960s.

In 1963 Chipperfield was split off from Kings Langley and Chipperfield Parish Council was created.

In 1959 the actor and comedian Peter Sellers purchased the Manor House on the east side of the common. He lived there until 1962 attracting many famous stars and film moguls to visit him in the village.

The former U.S. President Jimmy Carter can trace his family roots to John Carter of Jeffery's Farm, situated to the south east of the village.

Description

Perhaps the most significant feature is the common, comprising 47.5 ha (117 acres) of secondary growth woodland to the south of the village. The common is criss-crossed by way-marked paths and contains eight veteran Spanish sweet chestnut trees (Castanea sativa), one having a girth of about 21 feet. They are estimated to date back to the 1600s and believed to be descended from specimens brought from Spain in the Middle Ages. Tradition has it they were planted "for the delight of Isabel of Castile". Isabel of Castile (1355–1392) was the first Duchess of York, the wife of Edmund Langley who lived in the nearby Royal Palace of Kings Langley. The common has several ponds, notably the Apostles Pond, which has twelve lime trees surrounding it and was once a monastery fishpond.

The village cricket club has a green and pavilion on the northern edge of the common. Two Brewers Inn stands adjacent to the common. It was founded by Robert Waller as an ale house in 1799, originally the middle one of a row of three cottages. It eventually took over its neighbours to make a long frontage on the green. A modern hotel extension has been built to the rear. The pub acquired fame as the training quarters for many notable 19th-century prize-fighters such as Jem Mace, Thomas Sayers and Bob Fitzsimmons who sparred in the Club Room and took their runs round the nearby Chipperfield Common. Facilities in the village include two more pubs, a shop, post office, Kia and Land Rover dealerships, a delicatessen, an Indian restaurant and two garden centres.

Chipperfield has three churches: Church of England, Catholic and Baptist. It also has a primary school, St Pauls C of E, with strong ties to the church, which is located adjacent to the school.

Next to the school is a village club called Blackwell's, and tennis courts owned by CTC.

Every year, a pantomime is held in the Village Hall, which is organised by the Chipperfield Theatre Group.

There is a lively range of musical activity in the village centred mainly on St Paul's Church, which boasts a fine three manual organ. The choir mounts several choral evensong services each year and a remarkable diversity of concerts, some with orchestra. The Festival of Lessons and Carols at Christmas is accompanied by organ and orchestra and attracts a packed church. Chipperfield Choral Society rehearses in the Village Hall and maintains a popular following at its concerts both at St Paul's and elsewhere, locally. The Cricket Club periodically hosts Jazz concerts.

Chipperfield Corinthians FC football team play in the top division of the Herts County Senior League, with a reserve team in the Herts County Reserve and Development West League.

In order to preserve its rural feeling the village has very little street lighting.

Take Command is a 32-bit or 64-bit GUI application.
TCC and TCC/LE are 32-bit or 64-bit console (character-mode) applications.
All are designed to run under Windows 7, 2008R2, 8, 2012, and 10.
The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Take Command and TCC are identical in features. The 64-bit versions are faster and don't have to deal with the directory and registry remapping that Windows does with 32-bit apps running in 64-bit Windows. The 64-bit versions will also use slightly more memory.


Tactical imaging systems such as the vehicle-mounted TacFLIR 280-HD provide high-definition (HD) images from a distance for surveillance and troop protection.
FLIR Systems has received a $74.7 million firm-fixed-price order from the U.S. Army for TacFLIR surveillance cameras in support of the EO/IR Force Protection program.
FLIR Systems, Inc. has been awarded a $74.7 million firm-fixed-price order for TacFLIR surveillance cameras in support of the U.S. Army's electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) Force Protection program. The purchase will take place through the Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal. As part of the same program, FLIR was also awarded an $8.8 million contract in the third quarter of 2017 to deliver other FLIR Ranger radars.
TacFLIR systems such as the TacFLIR-230, TacFLIR 280-HD, and TacFLIR-380 are compact intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems based on EO and IR imaging. They provide high image resolution with zoom ratios of greater than 100 times (in the TacFLIR-380), along with ease of installation and use. The systems delivered under this contract are meant to provide enhanced perimeter security and force protection for U.S. troops stationed around the world.
"We are honored to continue our long-standing support of the U.S. Army," said Jim Cannon, CEO and President of FLIR. "This program highlights our ability to rapidly deploy our technology for critical missions and underscores FLIR's commercially developed, military-qualified approach." FLIR has delivered more than a thousand EO/IR sensors to the Army as part of this program to support the safety of U.S. forces and allies, including a variety of systems.


This book is designed as a successor to the two editions of Wisconsin Water Law: A Guide to Water Rights and Regulations that I authored for UW Extension. Like its predecessors, this volume was written with a dual purpose. The primary purpose is to provide an overview of Wisconsin water law that is accessible for any person with an interest in water resource management. This includes government officials and staff, property owners, water resource consultants and engineers, business owners, environmental advocacy groups, and educators. At the same time, the extensive footnotes in this volume are designed to be a resource for lawyers and others who want more information and additional references to begin research on specific questions.
This is not likely to be a book that many people read cover to cover.Nevertheless, the book as a whole was written to convey three overarching themes that are important to understanding water law: history, interconnectedness, and change.
the 21st century, it is important to understand where we have come from.
subject to different statutory chapters and rules. These issues are handled by different sections within DNR and are often handled by different groups of consultants, lawyers, and local staff.
reduce stream bank erosion. Projects to reduce phosphorus into waters might involve recreating or enhancing wetlands, or creating infiltration basins that recharge groundwater, or removing dams and associated sediment.
the navigable waters in trust for its citizens. Similarly, the common law doctrine of reasonable use is seen in riparian rights, water withdrawal and water discharge.
There are also points of commonality in the statutes. Special purpose lake districts share many characteristics of sanitary districts and drainage districts even though the purposes are very different. Water laws, just like water resources, are more interconnected than many appreciate. The more we understand of water laws as a whole, the more we can better address specific issues with a view toward holistic solutions.
Third, water law continues to be dynamic. In the 12 years since the second edition of Wisconsin Water Law was published in 2001, almost every aspect of water law has seen a dramatic amount of change. That kind of dynamic change is likely to accelerate as we move into the 21st century. One source of change is increased population and development. This demographic reality is going to result in more demand for clean water from groundwater and surface water. It is also likely to result in more runoff from impervious surfaces, more urban waste to be treated, and substantial impact on agriculture.
Each of these may force us to rethink how we manage water use and water treatment. Areas of water scarcity could even lead courts to rethink whether the reasonable use rules should give way to laws more like the law of prior appropriation in water-scarce western states. How the State views its public trust responsibilities in the face of these increased demands will be a major policy consideration.
Another source of change arises from climate change. If changes in climatic patterns continue, they will have major impacts on water resources and the laws that govern them. Extreme storm events will result in more water runoff and flooding. These events could result in more active local lake and drainage districts.
Reduced ice cover could result in greater evapotranspiration, while less frozen ground could allow for greater infiltration. If drought conditions arise and wetlands and lakebeds recede, issues of title and state regulatory control may also evolve. In addition, changes in water temperature may result in changes in the mix of fish and aquatic life species in our rivers and lakes. How those changes interact with invasive species may have dramatic impacts on water quality and healthy aquatic habitats.
evolving variety of public and private uses. Water is one of the things that makes this State special. This book is designed to provide an overview of the laws that both reflect and protect this important resource.

Our SC800D is a passive in-wall subwoofer with an 8" polypropylene woofer and a 10" passive radiator to give you the richest low frequency response (bass) in the most compact package. This slim in-wall sub fills in the low notes missing from your movies and music and enhances overall sound quality without taking up any of your floor space. The Black SC800D includes the active 8" polypropylene woofer that produce clear, full bass tones while a 10" passive radiator enhances frequency response and gives you the most distortion-free sound. The SL800D is capable of handling up to 300 Watts of power so it can be paired with a robust amplifier. The perfect DIY weekend project, this in-wall sub has a paintable frame and grille to blend into any room.
The SC800D incorporates a passive radiator that offers advantages over ported designed speakers. A speaker with a passive radiator increases the low frequency response by absorbing the woofer's energy and reducing its motion (and vibration). Passive radiator speakers can be designed in a smaller enclosure, which is ideal for in-wall applications where space is limited, and vibration must be controlled.
