La ferrovia Canavesana è una linea di interesse regionale del Piemonte. La linea parte dalla stazione di Settimo Torinese e collega vari comuni del Canavese. L'infrastruttura è gestita da GTT, in attesa che subentri il gestore RFI, appartenente al gruppo Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane. Il servizio è stato gestito anch'esso da GTT fino al 1º gennaio 2021, data in cui è stato preso in carico da Trenitalia.

Realizzata fra Settimo Torinese e Rivarolo Canavese come ippovia e inaugurata ufficialmente nel 1866, la stessa fu prolungata nel 1877 fino a Castellamonte e dotata di una diramazione fino a Pont Canavese nel 1906.

Venuto a decadere il traffico merci e in considerazione di una politica non favorevole al trasporto su rotaia, che portò nel 1986 alla soppressione della tratta Rivarolo-Castellamonte, la linea sopravvive per il solo traffico provinciale/regionale per il collegamento della zona del canavese con l'area torinese, grazie all'inquadramento del tracciato nel Servizio ferroviario metropolitano di Torino.

La linea risulta elettrificata fino alla stazione di Rivarolo Canavese, obbligando così i passeggeri al trasbordo su un convoglio diesel per raggiungere la stazione di Pont Canavese. A dicembre 2017 è stato annunciato dalla Regione Piemonte il finanziamento per i lavori di elettrificazione della tratta rimanente per consentire il collegamento diretto tra Pont e Settimo.

Nel novembre 2020 sono iniziati i lavori di potenziamento infrastrutturale e di elettrificazione riguardante la tratta Rivarolo-Pont.

Dal 19 dicembre 2021, in seguito all'attivazione dell'ACC di Settimo Torinese, GTT non gestisce più gli impianti di ingresso e uscita dalla Canavesana della suddetta stazione, passati in mano a RFI.

Storia

L'idea di un collegamento tra il Canavese e la città di Settimo, dove già passava dal 1852 la ferrovia Torino-Milano, ebbe fra i principali promotori il medico rivarolese Carlo Demaria assieme ad alti esponenti della finanza torinese, tra cui concorreranno altri illustri rivarolesi come soci fondatori: il sindaco Giuseppe Recrosio, Giuseppe Chiesa, titolare della manifattura omonima, il misuratore Giuseppe Peronetti, Maurizio Farina, l'impresario Fortunato Pistono ed il notaio Antonio Vallero, intenti ad attuare una politica di miglioramento e di progresso dell'economia piemontese, puntando quindi a incentivare le aree del Canavese.

La soluzione fu quella di pianificare la costruzione di una strada ferrata che collegasse le opulente aree al capoluogo. La costruzione della stessa, avviata dalla Società Anonima della Strada Ferrata del Canavese, fu approvata con atto del notaio Giuseppe Turvano l'11 agosto 1856; la linea fino a Rivarolo, lunga , con trazione a cavalli e scartamento di , fu inaugurata a tappe a partire dal 1856, concludendosi il 20 giugno 1866.

Al termine di un periodo caratterizzato da risultati finanziari deludenti, la concessione fu rilevata dall'ingegner Cappuccio, primo proprietario della ferrovia Torino-Ceres, cui a sua volta, dopo il fallimento avvenuto nel 1871, subentrò l'imprenditore Reinfeld che, nel 1874, su progetto dell'ingegner Gozzano, propose l'adozione della trazione a vapore. Fu la Società Anonima per la Strada Ferrata e le Tranvie del Canavese, poi rinominata Ferrovia Centrale e tranvie del Canavese (FCC), che già eserciva la tranvia Torino-Volpiano, a intraprendere i lavori di ricostruzione in sede propria del tracciato, conclusi con solenni festeggiamenti il 1º dicembre 1885 contestualmente all'inaugurazione del prolungamento mediante la tranvia Rivarolo-Cuorgnè. La precedente ippovia venne dunque smantellata.

Nel 1887 fu attivato il prolungamento costituito dalla ferrovia Rivarolo-Castellamonte e, nel 1906, una diramazione verso Cuorgnè mediante un regresso dalla stazione di Rivarolo e in sostituzione della parallela tranvia. Nel 1892 fu stipulata un'importante convenzione con la Società per le Strade Ferrate del Mediterraneo, che consentì ai treni della Canavesana di impegnare i binari statali fino a Torino Porta Susa.

L'ultima sezione inaugurata fu la Cuorgnè-Pont Canavese, nel 1906. La ferrovia contribuì da allora al rapido sviluppo economico e industriale delle zone del Canavese da essa attraversate, attraversando pressoché indenne il periodo della prima guerra mondiale. Il 29 marzo 1933 la società esercente venne fusa con la Società Anonima Ferrovia Torino-Ciriè-Valli di Lanzo, che eserciva la linea Torino-Ceres, dando vita alla nuova società anonima Ferrovie Torino Nord (FTN).

Nel gennaio 1959 la SATTI, Società Anonima Torinese Tranvie Intercomunali, subentrò alle FTN nella gestione della linea; negli anni ottanta venne costituito un consorzio, denominato TT (Trasporti Torinesi), che riuniva entrambe le società ferroviarie concessionarie delle ferrovie citate (SATTI per la Canavesana, FTC per la Torino-Ceres), che fu sciolto all'inizio del 1998.

Sempre negli anni ottanta, e precisamente il 17 aprile 1985, fu chiusa la diramazione Rivarolo-Castellamonte, giudicata dalla Motorizzazione Civile pericolosa per la vicinanza dei binari alla provinciale per Ivrea; i lavori di smantellamento iniziarono nel 1990.

Il 1º marzo 2002 venne attivata l'elettrificazione sulla tratta da Settimo Torinese a Rivarolo Canavese. La tratta da Cuorgnè a Pont Canavese fu interrotta nel 2000 a causa di un'alluvione e riattivata dopo ingenti lavori il 7 luglio 2004. Dal mese di novembre 2020, la tratta ferroviaria tra Rivarolo Canavese e Pont Canavese è chiusa per i lavori di elettrificazione e potenziamento infrastrutturale, quindi è sostituita da autobus extraurbani.

Dal 1º gennaio 2021, il servizio ferroviario sulla linea è gestito da Trenitalia. La gestione dell'infrastruttura della linea è tuttora di GTT, in attesa del previsto subentro del gestore nazionale, Rete Ferroviaria Italiana. È inoltre iniziato l'esercizio commerciale, proprio sulla Canavesana, dei primi treni Pop tra quelli destinati alla Regione Piemonte.

Caratteristiche

La ippovia abbandonata il 1º dicembre 1885, con l'inaugurazione del servizio a vapore, vedeva in origine l'utilizzo del sistema di rotaie tipo Luè, premiato con medaglia d'oro all'Esposizione Nazionale del 1861, costituito da rotaie a doppio fungo ancorate a blocchi di pietra mediante staffe di ghisa, caratterizzato dall'assenza di traversine; tale soluzione era stata rimpiazzata, nel proseguimento dell'ippovia da Volpiano a Rivarolo, con rotaia incassata sistema Loubat. L'avvio dell'esercizio a vapore comportò l'adozione del sistema standard con rotaia Vignoles.

La ferrovia è a binario unico e scartamento normale di 1435 mm, con l'ultima sezione del percorso che risulta più tortuosa, con curva del raggio di 200 metri e pendenze che raggiungono il 18 per mille. La lunghezza complessiva della linea misura .

Percorso
Partita da Pont, la linea si dirige a sud-est, seguendo il percorso del torrente Orco, e percorre un tratto di circa  fino a Cuorgnè, stazione su cui convergono le autolinee GTT per Ivrea, Castellamonte e Forno Canavese. Proseguendo verso sud si arriva a Rivarolo Canavese, stazione di testa nella quale l'elettrificazione ha imposto di effettuare il cambio convoglio.
La ferrovia segue un percorso rettilineo, parallelo alla SS460 per Ceresole Reale fino a Feletto, località dopo la quale il binario devia leggermente a est e attraversa il Medio Canavese, fermando a Bosconero e San Benigno Canavese e attraversando un tratto caratterizzata da numerosi passaggi a livello.
Superato il torrente Malone per mezzo di un ponte in muratura, la ferrovia attraversa Volpiano, comune industriale e agricolo, ultima stazione appartenente all'area del Canavese. Da tale località si dirama dalla linea un raccordo diretto al Deposito Doganale Agip atto ai Servizi ausiliari dei mezzi di trasporto idrocarburi.
Oltre Volpiano, la ferrovia raggiunge il capolinea del tracciato a Settimo Torinese, oltre il quale i treni regionali transitano da e per Torino.

Traffico
Cessato il traffico merci in conseguenza del declino dell'apparato industriale della zona e della scelta di privilegiare il trasporto su gomma, la ferrovia del Canavese esercita la funzione di sistema di trasporto regionale: il servizio viaggiatori è integrato, a partire dal 9 dicembre 2012, quando fu istituito il Servizio ferroviario metropolitano di Torino del quale i treni che percorrono la ferrovia di Pont rappresentano la linea 1 e attraversano il nodo torinese effettuando il capolinea meridionale a Chieri, sui binari della ferrovia Trofarello-Chieri, completando la maglia di servizi istituiti nel 1997.

Il servizio è svolto a cadenza oraria fino a Rivarolo, con poche corse prolungate su Pont, dato che sulla tratta alta della linea vengono prevalentemente effettuate autocorse sostitutive.

Materiale rotabile

La composizione del parco rotabili impiegato lungo la ferrovia Canavesana rispecchia la storia dell'impianto, caratterizzata dall'unione amministrativa rispetto alla ferrovia Torino-Ceres e all'elettrificazione attivata nel 2002 fino a Rivarolo Canavese.

In conseguenza di tali avvenimenti vennero impiegati fino al 31 dicembre 2020 gli elettrotreni SATTI Y 0530 ex FTC e delle automotrici ALn 668 provenienti dalle precedenti amministrazioni, così come materiale più moderno attrezzato dall'origine per la circolazione sui binari quali gli elettrotreni Alstom TTR, analoghi alle ALe 501/502 "Minuetto".

Nel corso del 2011 il GTT ha annunciato l'ordine di 3 elettrotreni Alstom "Coradia Meridian" ad integrare la flotta di rotabili a trazione elettrica utilizzabili sulla Canavesana. Dal gennaio 2021 sono stati sostituiti da Treni POP, Treni Minuetto Elettrici. I 3 Coradia Meridian sono in fase di revamping e sistemati da Trenitalia e faranno ritorno. Col nuovo orario dovrebbero arrivare anche i Rock. I treni GTT ETR Y sono in stato di attesa per nuove aziende ferroviarie a Fossano,
Dal mese di settembre 2021, entreranno in servizio sulla Canavesana anche le composizioni Vivalto di Trenitalia.

Le automotrici ALn 668 e le relative rimorchiate sono state dismesse.

Ad oggi le automotrici rimaste in circolazione su questa linea sono solo tre, le 905, 906 e 907, circolanti in regime promiscuo con autotrasporto esclusivamente sulla tratta Rivarolo - Pont (parte non elettrificata) secondo l'orario stabilito del gestore.

Rotabili del passato

Numerosi furono i rotabili succedutisi nel servizio lungo i binari del Canavese, dapprima con esercizio a trazione a vapore e in seguito costituiti da automotrici a trazione termica e locomotive Diesel dalle caratteristiche peculiari.

All'originaria dotazione di locomotive a vapore di costruzione Henschel si aggiunsero diverse unità provenienti da altre ferrovie in concessione italiane portando in totale a 13 unità la dotazione del parco.

Il parco automotrici si avvalse inizialmente di un gruppo di cinque Automotrice FS ALn 40 acquistate usate dalle FS nel 1943, due delle quali noleggiate alla ferrovia Santhià-Biella (unità 001) e alla tranvia Pisa-Pontedera (unità 003). Le stesse vennero poi sostituite da una consistente fornitura di dieci ALn 668 con relative rimorchiate, in seguito integrata da due unità quasi analoghe.

Fra le locomotive Diesel, oltre a due unità da manovra, spiccava l'unità Diesel-elettrica DE 101, prototipo Fiat-OM del 1965.

La ferrovia Canavesana integrò per alcuni periodi nel proprio parco alcuni rotabili affatto peculiari per le caratterische costruttive finalizzate alla sperimentazione di soluzioni considerate innovative:

 l'automotrice sperimentale Michelina (dal nome del costruttore francese Michelin) che nel 1932 effettuò numerose corse prova e servizi regolari Rivarolo-Pont.
 l'automotrice in acciaio inossidabile D 51, costruita da Linke Hofmann Busch per un'impresa tedesca nel 1957 ed acquisita dalla SATTI nel 1982. Le frequenti avarie e l'unicità del mezzo ne impedirono l'esercizio regolare. Il rotabile fu infine ceduto nel 2012 all'impresa VPS di Salzgitter
 l'Automotrice A2n 001 a due piani, prototipo Casaralta-Fiat-CIMT Lorraine

Completavano il parco numerose carrozze e carri merci di vario tipo.

I'm just going to put it out there upfront, this last workout week was a complete bust. I am not even going to try to list out what I did since that list would be pretty short. I will say that I maybe got 1 p90x workout, 1-2 bike rides, and a couple of long dog walks in but that is about it. That is not to say that the past week was not productive. I was able to unpack more boxes, do some home repairs, and I learned a crucial fact that has impacted my workouts moving forward. Our pull-up bar does not fit in any of the doorways inside our new house!
Has anyone else used these? How do they compare to the pull-up bar? My other issue is that I have a latex allergy and these seem to be made of latex so I need to look for latex-free options (if they exist). Hopefully I will figure it out soon but for now I am just substituting in more free-weight back workouts.
For those of you familiar with p90x, I read this on Coach Crystal's Padawan and had to share. I'm so glad someone actually wrote this ranking because after doing a couple of rounds of p90x, you start to focus on the cast and the spectrum across the board. While some are good and keep me motivated, others are just annoying! I will say that seeing one of the cast members complete plyo x on one leg puts things in perspective for me. Every time I want to fall on the floor, moan in pain, and give up, that one cast member keeps me moving.
We are currently going through the final push to pack and move into our new house by the end of this month. I really want to just take a break from p90x since moving is a workout in itself and p90x can get time-consuming, but I'm determined to keep going. I already took a break before which is the reason why I had to start all over. Plus with the weather warming up already, I would like to make some progress in time for spring/summer activities.
Thurs- Kenpo karate (kenpo karate AND half of yoga)…2 in one day was a little crazy but now I kind of know what to expect once p90x doubles start in 2 weeks.
After deciding to start the phase all over, I was pretty happy with my progress this past week given everything else going on. It's not perfect but hopefully I'll get it down soon.
I cannot believe we are already approaching the middle of March. I am still trying to adjust to the switch over to daylight savings time. I am pretty sure I am still feeling the residual effects of losing that 1 hour of sleep.
Alright, no more babbling about sleep. Let's talk about my real issue here…working out (or lack thereof). After starting off strong and posting weekly updates of progress, things took a sharp turn off track. I'm not trying to make excuses but between being sick for over a week, house activities, and really busy workdays lately, I'm having a hard time finding the time and motivation to keep up. Those 1.5hrs workouts are not easy to complete everyday! I tried to slightly remedy the problem by squeezing in some shorter bike workouts when I couldn't dedicate all the time to p90x, but soon that stopped.
This week was a little difficult. I'm still working on setting aside enough time after work to establish a routine but things always get in the way. The whole diet part doesn't seem to be happening. I'm doing better with the portion control, but I need gain self-control over sweets. Okay, that is enough of the negative. I am happy that I am at least making it through the workouts after long weekdays and I'm still optimistic that things will begin to improve.
The transition back to P90x has not been as easy as I was hoping. For some reason I assumed that, even though I took time off from the program after finishing it last summer, I would be able to jump right in without any problems. While on a break from the program, I tried to stay somewhat active but in reality it is hard to replicate those workouts.
I started on the first day by taking my baseline measurements. This was the same notebook I used when I did the program last time. It made me a little sad to see how much progress I made before and how I pretty much lost most of it. But, then I thought about it a little more and decided that if I could do it then, I could certainly do it now. The results are attainable, I just need to get there again. It's all about getting your mind straight (as they say throughout the whole program).

Leesburg dance business moves into massive new space to do the waltz
Orlando Sentinel 12/2/2019 Rosemarie Dowell
© Stephen M. Dowell
LEESBURG — Chris McCain and his bevy of instructors at Dancin' Ballroom have a lot more wiggle room to teach students the cha-cha, East Coast swing, tango and the highly popular waltz now that the dance studio has moved to bigger digs.
The Leesburg studio's new location in the Shoppes of Lake Village at 10601 U.S. Highway 441 features 8,200 square feet of space, including a massive 6,500-square-foot dance floor perfect for both young and old dancers alike. It's in a spot that used to house a Goodwill store.
"We now have the largest ballroom dance studio and the largest dance floor in Central Florida," said McCain, who purchased the studio in 2015 from Ronald Williams, who with siblings Rema and Alan became known as the first family of American Ballroom Dancing in the mid-1970s.
"We're also able to host wedding receptions, birthday parties and corporate events now," he said. "We can easily fit up to 250 people including tables and chairs."
McCain's love and talent for ballroom dancing first bloomed in 2010 when he was looking for a way to relieve stress and have a positive social outlet while going through a painful divorce. A non-drinker, bars and restaurant lounges didn't interest him, but dancing did.
"I'd never really danced before, so I taught myself some moves first," he said. "Then I started taking lessons, got hooked and then I fell in love with ballroom dancing."
He eventually began working at Dancin' Ballroom under the tutelage and guidance of Williams, who died two years ago, and longtime employees David Whittaker and Phillip Hollifield.
"It's good, clean fun and great for your health too," McCain said.
The studio was originally located in Lake Square Mall, but McCain moved it to a more visible spot on U.S. Highway 441 near Steak n' Shake several years ago.
The newest location fills the need for more space for the dance studio, which is trying to keep up with the demand from new students yearning to learn the waltz, and others dances like the mambo and tango.
"The waltz is the biggest one people want to learn," he said. "They also want to learn the jitterbug, which is actually the East Coast Swing."
The father of three found love again on, you guessed it, the dance floor when Nicole Green, a registered nurse and new divorcee, signed up for group dance lessons with McCain five years ago.
They soon bonded over the foxtrot and love waltzed in soon after. Now married for three years, the couple dance in Pro-Am competitions and live in Minneola.
"It's not just dancing — it's a community," Nicole McCain said. "We have a lot of retirees and widows who come in every week."
Joan Sanfilippo, a former mortgage underwriter, found new purpose when she started taking dance lessons eight years ago following the loss of both her mother and husband. She now serves as the studio's administrative assistant but still dances as much as she can.
"Dancing gave me my life back," she said. "There's no downside to dancing."
McCain said anyone can learn to dance — it just takes patience and a lot of practice. The studio offers both private and group lessons for newbies.
"A lot of people are afraid to just go out and dance," he said. "It takes time to learn and get past the awkwardness stage, but once you do, you get addicted to it."
One thing McCain wishes he'd see more of at the studio is men. Females far outnumber males at lessons and dances.
"If men only knew how many women they could have fun dancing with all night long," he said. "If they only knew."

The Bradwell Conspiracy Review: Puzzling
Posted By: Johnny Reynoldson: October 25, 2019 In: Game Reviews, Gaming, Indie Games, New Releases, News, Nintendo, PC, PS4, Reviews, Steam, Switch, Xbox OneTags: NintendoSwitch, TheBradwellConspiracyNo Comments
Title: The Bradwell Conspiracy
Developer: A Brave Plan
Publisher: Bossa Studios
Available On: Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, Steam, Apple Arcade
Official Site: The Bradwell Conspiracy
Release Date: October 8th, 2019
Where To Buy: Apple Arcade, Steam, PlayStation Store, Nintendo Switch E-Shop, Microsoft Store
With an explosion, a protagonist buried in rubble, and an intriguing mystery to uncover, The Bradwell Conspiracy grabs your attention immediately. Unfortunately, there are also a lot of aspects that make solving that mystery pretty unfun to do.
The Bradwell Conspiracy begins very disorientingly. But that's one of its strongest features. You awake after an explosion at a party for Bradwell Electronics. The company was busy celebrating the launch of its Clean Water Initiative when the explosion occurred. Who are you in relation to this company? What caused the explosion? Why are you alone when the party setting makes it clear there were tons of other people in attendance? This bombardment of questions was swirling through my head as I began. And it's because of them that I immediately wanted to explore and seek answers.
You can at least surmise that you work for the company. Each employee has a pair of glasses equipped with the company's electronic guide, who walks you through what to do. It also scans you for injuries. Your vocal cords have been injured from breathing in too much smoke and the Guide advises you not to speak. It's a small inclusion, but one that I thought was a really clever way to have a silent protagonist.
You find more glasses that belong to other employees as you explore. These give you access to different areas. And it's not too long after awaking that you meet Amber, another survivor trapped in a different location. She'll speak to you while you play through. But the only way to respond is by sending pictures via your glasses. She'll help you solve puzzles, tell you where to go, etc. As this is your only ally outside the robotic Guide, it was important for her to be likable and entertaining. Thankfully, the writing and Rebecca LaChance's fantastic delivery make her just as such.
Beyond The Set-Up
Be prepared to walk aimlessly, because The Bradwell Conspiracy will have you doing a lot of it. As I said, the only way to communicate with Amber is via photos. But if you don't know where to go to find the correct photo to take, then you'll be snapping everything in sight. More than once, I was in the right location for the photo to send her. But I wasn't positioned correctly or close enough to the right object in order for her to help me. This didn't happen all of the time. But it happened enough to be annoying.
Taking the correct photo will save your progress and grant you a new objective. This also happens when you solve a puzzle, which I'll get to later. Here's where The Bradwell Conspiracy's technical problems rear their ugly heads. During these moments, the game is hit with a slew of frame rate issues that make your view lag across the screen. It happens only briefly. But when checkpoints come so frequently, it's enough to take a toll. It's possible these issues are only present in the Switch version. But this doesn't seem like the type of game that the Switch wouldn't be able to run properly.
What We're All Here For
Where the Portal series has its unique gun to help you solve puzzles, The Bradwell Conspiracy has the Substance Mobile Printer, or SMP. This handy device lets you suck in a certain material created by Bradwell Electronics and print objects in order to solve puzzles. This substance can mostly be found throughout areas in brick form. However, you'll also find items made of this substance. You can only print items you have the blueprint for, though you obtain an item's blueprint by simply sucking it up. Not every item comes with a blueprint. I was confused at one point as to why I was sucking up a blueprint-less surfboard when the developers could have just put in a more easily locatable brick.
The SMP is an interesting tool that leads to some neat puzzles. It's the main draw of the game that unfortunately has some pretty severe limitations. It projects a green outline of whatever shape you have selected. And you're able to rotate it and fit it where you need it. But it's only projected close to your eye level unless you're directly under or above where it needs to go. I became immensely frustrated during a couple of puzzles because the game doesn't state this.
And I pity you if you get to a puzzle without the correct amount of substance units. Because then you can't solve the puzzle. And then you'll have to backtrack and look for more substance to suck up. That's already no fun, but Amber's interjections as to why you haven't solved the puzzle yet make it even worse.
Exploring Is A Pain
Piecing together Bradwell Electronics and the mystery behind it should be tantalizing. And with such a great set-up, you'd think discovering information about the people who work there would serve as forgiveness for wonky mechanics. But that just isn't the case.
Finding an employee's Guide Glasses lets you access new areas, but it also gives you access to their tablets and computers. From there you can read recent e-mails to find out about their work. Hooray, e-mails!
If you couldn't detect the sarcasm, reading through work e-mails isn't that enticing. You can also listen to voicemails, but you're stuck on that screen in order to do so. These could have worked liked the audio diaries in BioShock or the pre-recorded messages of Cave Johnson in Portal 2, where you're allowed to walk around while they play out. But you're not. Also, these are much less interesting. And it's this combination with less-than-stellar gameplay that makes The Bradwell Conspiracy a chore to explore.
Verdict: The Bradwell Conspiracy begins with an intriguing premise that's enhanced by Rebecca LaChance's voiceover work and the engaging set-up for how you can solve puzzles. But poor mechanics, framerate issues, and the dull pace at which its mystery is laid out cause the game to suffer harshly.
The Bradwell Conspiracy Review

Children plant tomatoes and sunflowers and watch them grow.
Many of the foods we eat come from plants.
We eat certain leaves, roots, fruits, and seeds.
Before you watch: Tell the group they are going to watch a video about children growing tomatoes and sunflowers. Ask, Has anyone seen a garden that grows plants we can eat? What kind of plants were they?
After you watch: Ask, How long did it take for the seeds to grow? How do you know? Have you ever tried a tomato, like the children in the video? What did it taste like? What did they find inside the tomato? Remind the children of the sunflower seeds they sampled during Week 1. Ask them to describe the sunflower seeds and how they tasted.
Optional: Watch the video a second time.
Tomatoes are technically fruits because they have seeds—as are cucumbers, bean pods, avocados, peppers, and lots of other edible plants that we typically think of as vegetables. There's no need to go into this distinction with children. Focus instead on having children observe, describe, and compare edible plants.


WWE 2K18's weekly roster reveal continues for the third week in a row, adding 43 new wrestlers to an already impressive roster.
Last week's reveal brought in 37 new wrestlers, and in addition to this week's 43, the game's roster now stands at an impressive total of 129. New characters include Randy Savage, Somoa Joe, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor and legends like Ric Flair and Mr. Perfect.


We have a track record of shaping and delivering high impact campaigns for some of the biggest organisations in the world. Our work is always tailored to the commercial objectives of our clients and we pride ourselves on delivering against a clear set of objectives at the start of a piece of work.
We have experience of working at a local and national level in the UK, engaging with decision makers, the media and the public to deliver campaigns which make a difference.

GSN Taps Rentrak For TV, VOD Measurement
By Jeff Baumgartner
Rentrak said it has notched a deal to provide TV ratings and VOD measurement capabilities to Game Show Network, claiming the deal will help the network make more efficient ad buys for its clients.
"GSN consistently ranks within the top 25 percent of all broadcast and cable networks and Rentrak ratings information provides us the ability to highlight the unique quality of our audience," GSN's VP, research strategy, Michael Michell, said in a statement. "Rentrak's granular TV measurement service will play a key role in supporting our research needs across the board."
"We are excited to have GSN subscribe to our TV services and we look forward to helping them advance their business," added Chris Wilson, Rentrak's president of national television.
Notably, the deal comes almost a month after Rentrak teamed with Visible World subsidiary AudienceXpress to establish a "data-rich" programmatic TV ad platform.
Rentrak said its TV ratings service gathers data from more than 30 million TVs and VOD viewing across more than 117 million televisions in the U.S. and Canada.

Q: vim color scheme breaks when using tmux I am using Ubuntu 18 LTS, gnome-terminal, with vim 8.0. When I am not using a color scheme, vim looks the same when launched inside or outside of tmux:

However, when I use a color scheme (in this case gruvbox), vim will look odd inside of tmux:

How can I fix this?
Here is some background info:

I also uncommented a line in my bashrc:

The current design of hisi_sas_task_prep() has two critical sections protected by different spin locks. This can lead to unnecessary thrashing. By merging the critical sections under one spin lock, we can avoid this.
Use fio to measure performance difference, and verify that there is no performance decrease. Sample config attached. Test on D05 and D06 systems, since both are impacted.
It's possible that decreasing the lock granularity like this will lead to unforeseen latency issues. However, the additional work done under the new spin lock is just a single list_add_tail() call, which appears to run in constant time.
No SATA performance regression observed.


I always struggle with news reports because there is so much scary and challenging in the world. It's important to stay informed, of course, but sometimes I just don't feel up to the task. In January our Adult RE program will be sponsoring a discussion series about despair (and maybe what to do about it); clear your Wednesdays now! But until then, we have this article about the inventor of the Segway, who has decided to turn his attention to philanthopy. Note the photograph of Guinean students who study at night under streetlights in the airport parking lot, because that's where the light is.


"I was very disappointed that their response was that I must have used the headphones improperly for them to fracture."
"I purchased the Able Planet IR200T headphones approx."
"Able Planet Infrared Headphones are very good."
"I highly recommend these headphones."
"Instead, these Able Planet Sound Clarity Infrared Headphones rest on TOP of the ears and there is virtually no hearing aid feedback as a result."
"These are excellent headphones for the money."


Money supply does affect the presence of goods via investment, but with the WTF the tendency for prices to rise, or for consumers to spend more, when more money is available, is a matter between buyer and seller, not for some anonymous producer of the money who isn't even involved in the transaction.
Diverse perceptions about the value of WTF1 may lead to inflationary printing races initially. But prices will stabilize due to seigniorage.
The anti-inflationary WTF protects savings. The more notes you try to print, the more paper and ink cartridges you will have to buy. Compared with past systems the so-called money illusion is unchanged, as are the other components of price stickiness.
As with old money, sellers who ask a ridiculous amount will get nothing.
For example, if it took a week to print enough WTFs to buy a loaf of bread, buyers would be easily able to find someone to beat up the baker for much less printing. Physical limits, such as maximum print speeds and long queues at photocopy shops, give natural protection against a runaway money supply.
Tip: Competing to see how many zeros you can fit on notes only makes you look like the Weimar Republic or Zimbabwe. Agree with counterparties to accept and spend only WTF denominations with which you feel comfortable.

Faculty & Research Publications Perceived Physical Activity and Mortality: Evidence from Three Nationally Representative U.S. Samples
Perceived Physical Activity and Mortality: Evidence from Three Nationally Representative U.S. Samples
By Octavia ZahrtAlia Crum
July2017 Vol. 36 Issue 11 Pages 1017–1025.
This research sought to examine the relationship of individuals' perceptions about their level of physical activity with mortality outcomes at the population level.
This study used 3 nationally representative samples with a total sample size of 61,141 U.S. adults (weighted N = 476 million). Data from the 1990 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and the 1999–2002/2003–2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were linked to prospective National Death Index mortality data through 2011, yielding follow-up periods of up to 21 years. Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine the association between respondents' perceptions of their relative level of physical activity (compared with other people their age) and all-cause mortality, adjusting for actual levels of physical activity, health status and behavior, and sociodemographic variables.
Perceived physical activity relative to peers was associated with mortality risk. Individuals who perceived themselves as less active than others were up to 71% more likely to die in the follow-up period than those who perceived themselves as more active. This finding held across 3 samples and after adjusting for actual levels of physical activity and other covariates.
Individuals' perceptions about their level of physical activity strongly predicted mortality, even after accounting for the effects of actual physical activity and other known determinants of mortality. This suggests that perceptions about health behaviors may play an important role in shaping health outcomes.

When it comes to physical activity, how well we think we're doing can influence how much we move and how we feel.

Penrith and Eden Museum
The seeds were sown for the establishment of a museum in the town with the founding of the Mechanics Institute in 1830. This was when Harrison Wilkinson, a surgeon in the Royal Navy and a native of Penrith, left in his will 'all the books comprising his library, all his coins, medals, and casts, for use of all the inhabitants of the town of Penrith for ever, without alienation by sale or otherwise'. When the Mechanics Institute was dissolved the collections were passed on to the Working Men's Reading Room. Those assets were in turn transferred to the Penrith Museum.
The Penrith Local Board of Health had adopted the Free Libraries and Museums Act in November 1881. This was the town's first municipal governing body. It was the forerunner of Penrith Urban District Council incorporated in 1974 into Eden District Council in local government reorganisation. This was the first public authority in Cumberland to do so. By 1883 the Penrith Free Public Library and Museum was duly established in the Working Men's Reading Room in Hunter Lane. At the opening the chairman of the Local Board said that he had no doubt the Museum would be 'a useful institution generally, and ... more particularly to the young people of the town.' That a significant amount of the Free Museum's original collection has survived to the present day is due in part to the local authority assuming the role of patron at this early stage in the Museum's history.
It is not coincidental that the Library and Museum came into being shortly after the establishment of the Penrith Literary and Scientific Society whose prospectus of July 1881 anticipated the idea of a Museum. Its President, Doctor Michael Waistell Taylor (1842-1892), a physician of repute in the town (and one of the founders and an early President of the Hunterian Medical Society) had been largely responsible for persuading the Local Board to adopt the Free Libraries and Museums Act. The interest and enthusiasm of many of the Society's members found a focus in the new development. It was in keeping with this convergence of interest that Dr Taylor became the Museum's first Honorary Curator. He was a keen amateur archaeologist and naturalist. He was author of The Old Manorial Halls of Westmorland and Cumberland. His herbarium collection is still preserved as part of the Museum's collections.
In 1894 the local historian, William Furness, informs us how 'the foundation of the Museum was made by the valuable geological collection of Vice-Admiral Wauchope of Dacre Lodge, presented to the town through Dr M W Taylor.' The condition attached was that they should receive suitable accommodation and be preserved for public use. Furness lists the contents of the Museum collection which in that year comprised not only the Wauchope bequest of 27 cases of geological specimens and the herbarium of British flora donated by Dr Taylor, but also archaeological finds including:
A 'Celtic' stone axe found at Redhills
Medallion plaster casts of celebrities
The list also includes ethnographic specimens, such as Maori female dresses and Red Indian implements of war, and an Egyptian mummy and case. The mummy was given to Darlington Museum in 1930. It was transferred in 1961 to the Oriental Museum at Durham University. This is where it is now on display. Also on loan at Durham is the collection of Oriental antiquities bequeathed to the Museum in 1955.
In 1906, supported with funding from the Carnegie Trust, the Library and Museum moved to the recently converted Penrith Town Hall in Corney Square. By then the role of Honorary Curator had passed to J. Charles Varty-Smith. He was a local gentleman described by his obituarist as 'possessed by taste and knowledge far above the ordinary' and a 'born collector, antiquary, entomologist, botanist and connoisseur of old china and rare and out-of-the-way objects of art'. A man of means and leisure, Varty-Smith was a pioneer researcher on old glass and a frequent contributor to illustrated magazines such as The Queen, Country Life, Home and Garden and The Connoisseur. He and his daughters made a number of important gifts to the Museum, such as the multure dishes used for collecting tolls at the town's market.
There were other notable contributors to the development of the Museum, including Father A. Desmit, a Belgian refugee during the First World War. He devoted much time to the making of models to illustrate crystal formation. Thomas Hay, Honorary Curator from 1931 to 1944 carried on this tradition of altruistic service as did others, such as William Lowe of Patterdale and, at a later date, W. Atkinson of Duke Street, Penrith.
In 1964 the Urban District Council handed over its library responsibilities to Cumberland County Council. The Museum was temporarily closed pending the finding of a new home for the collections. In December 1967 the announcement that Robinson's Church of England Infant School was to close heralded the Council's decision to acquire the building for the re-establishment of the Museum in Middlegate. Following the school's closure in April 1971 preparations were stepped up for the conversion of the building to a 'museum-cum-information-bureau', it being observed that 'since the opening of the M6 more and more people were staying in Penrith for longer periods'.
While the Information Centre came into being in the early 1970s and a small display of Museum artefacts was set up, it was not until February 1985 at an open meeting in the Town Hall that Councillor R I Porter, Chairman of the Museum Sub-Committee, outlined the proposals for the formal re-establishment of the Museum. The inaugural meeting of the Friends of the Museum was held on 5 March. On 9 July 1985 the Penrith Museum was officially re-opened to the public in Robinson's School. In 1988 Eden District Council resolved to undertake a scheme of major alterations and extensions to the building. By 1990 it had been completely renovated with additional office space and storage accommodation for the Museum. A grant from the Museums and Galleries Commission enabled the building of an environmentally controlled store. Further grants for the scheme were received from the North West Museums Service, English Heritage, Northern Arts and Cumbria County Council.
The newly refurbished Museum was officially opened by the playwright, Colin Welland, on 20 April 1990. In 1991 it was awarded Full Registered Status by the Museums and Galleries Commission. It became an MLA Accredited Museum in 2009. This was in recognition that it complies with the standards laid down with regard to its management, collections care and service provision.

"As a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, Broun has also been heavily critical of the TSA. In recent weeks he has sought to "pick up right where Congressman [Ron] Paul left off" by reintroducing "Audit the Fed" legislation for the current session of Congress."
Congressman: "Obama Only Upholds The Soviet Constitution"
Previously warned of coming tyranny under Obama
Georgia congressman Paul Broun hit out this week at his favourite target, President Obama, stating that he has no concept of the US Constitution.
In an interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Broun, a frequent critic of Obama noted "I think my role is to uphold support and defend our Constitution."
"The Constitution I uphold and defend is the one I carry in my pocket all the time, the U.S. Constitution," Broun added.
"I don't know what Constitution that other members of Congress uphold, but it's not this one. I think the only Constitution that Barack Obama upholds is the Soviet constitution, not this one. He has no concept of this one, though he claimed to be a constitutional lawyer." the Congressman also said.
Congressman Broun has been a thorn in the side of Obama's agenda since day one.
In 2009 he warned attendees of a town hall event that the Obama administration was planning to use a pandemic or a natural disaster to implement martial law in the United States.
Speaking at the North Georgia Technical College auditorium, Broun said that the "socialistic elite," as well as Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, were planning to exploit a crisis to create a favorable climate for their stalling political agenda.
"They're trying to develop an environment where they can take over," he said. "We've seen that historically."
He also spoke out against Obama's plan to create a "national civilian security force," warning that the program sounded like a 21st century Gestapo and that it was part of a move towards a Marxist dictatorship.
"That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist."
Broun also cited the threat to the second amendment posed by the Obama administration and anti-gun Attorney General Eric Holder.
"We can't be lulled into complacency," Broun said. "You have to remember that Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany. I'm not comparing him to Adolf Hitler. What I'm saying is there is the potential of going down that road."
As a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, Broun has also been heavily critical of the TSA. In recent weeks he has sought to "pick up right where Congressman [Ron] Paul left off" by reintroducing "Audit the Fed" legislation for the current session of Congress.

Comprehensive guide to the top book bloggers on the internet which asks who are these people? What are they writing about? Why? With some book bloggers gaining hundreds of hits a day, this book aims to show all book lovers that these blogs are an informative and fun alternative to literary criticism in the press.
In an industry where the success of a new book can be bought with marketing campaigns that cost thousands, book bloggers represent a new and entirely independent literary force. The internet has granted the reader a voice, and with hundreds returning to particular sites daily to hear what these self-elected reviewers have got to say, literary critics, booksellers and publishers are having to sit up and take notice. But who are these people? Why are they important? Motivated entirely by the love of books, what have they got to say and why are they so keen to say it?
This first ever guide to the top book blogs aims to tempt anyone new to this phenomena to log-on and get reading – including interviews and sample reviews from the leading contributors as well as tips on new book bloggers.
'As with any blog this will prove and addictive pleasure if you're on their wavelength... Often, astutely, allows the quality of the source material to speak for itself... provides helpful summaries of the issues currently exercising the community...This comprehensive, digestible handbook will prove indispensable to anyone in need of a summary of the literary blogosphere as it currently stands.' Times Literary Supplement
'...some blogs, like some poems, reach many thousands. It helps to find a niche and say something expert. In The Bookaholics' Guide to Book Blogs, two people from the publishers Marion Boyars explain why blogs have influence on book buyers, and thus on publishers. It boils down to bloggers' resemblance to columnists and critics in weekly publications: the good ones gain a following. Already publishers are sending review copies to some bloggers.' Spectator
'Marion Boyars is, by all accounts, one of the UK's more free-thinking publishers; and a book like this, an investigation of the book blog phenomenon, certainly benefits from coming out of that kind of environment. Kilgarriff is publisher at Marion Boyars; Gillieron is senior editor. There aren't too many publishers, for example, who'll admit: "We never really know if we are making the right choices." On the other hand, this book is described as a celebration: "We didn't want the existence of some of the first book bloggers to come and go without record." The best bloggers, according to Kilgarriff, are the ones who have no motive other than to share their love of books with other readers. The ones who end up getting mentioned are certainly worth tracking down, especially if all their posts are as lucid as the one by Dovegreyreader that gets quoted. Unless you're a blog fanatic, this book is bound to contain something you didn't know about – some oddball site capable of yielding the kind of gem that'll make you think just as carefully as anything you'll find in print.' Tom Boncza-Tomaszewski, Independent On Sunday
'Book blogs have been a burgeoning part of the literary scene for a decade or so,and Rebecca Gillieron and Catheryn Kilgarriff (editor and publisher, respectively, at Marion Boyars) have decided that this a good moment to take account of an enormous and rapidly changing scene...Writers' blogs are central, and can offer more satisfying encounters with authors than pressing the flesh at signings. Along with their takes on their art, the minutiae can be fascinating...The Guide's index of bookblog URLs will tempt many away from Facebook, at least temporarily' Independent

Issues of law and religion in the United Kingdom – with occasional forays further afield
Last rites for fonts – continued
Posted on 17 April 2015 by David Pocklington
Reflecting on our recent post They bury fonts, don't they? and the comments of the Revd Michael Ainsworth, the dilemma posed by the production of guidance on the subject is readily apparent: the only "hard law" on the disposal of fonts is a creative interpretation of Canon F 1§3 which restricts their alternative use; and other than the rejection of the CBC view on their sacramental nature in In re St Peter's, Draycott [2009] Fam 93, there is little mention of this aspect in case law. Equally, there is little reference to the case law in the Rt Rev David Stancliffe's Ecc LJ article Baptism and Fonts[1]. When the disposal of fonts has been considered by the courts, it is generally addressed as a side issue to the main petition/appeal, and few if any reasons are given for discouraging their burial.
However, the disposal of fonts and other items from a church or chapel is a prime consideration in the context of pastoral reorganization, and this is addressed specifically in section 76 of the Mission and Pastoral Measure 2011, [emphasis added]:
76 Disposal of font, communion table and plate, and other contents
(1) Where a pastoral church buildings scheme or pastoral (church buildings disposal) scheme makes provision for a church or part of a church to be demolished or appropriated to any use specified or described in the scheme the bishop shall, unless the scheme makes other provision, give directions as to how the font, communion table and plate used for the purpose of Holy Communion shall be dealt with but, if the church or part is so demolished or appropriated before any such directions are given or fully implemented, the diocesan board of finance shall, subject to any provision of the scheme, be responsible for the care, maintenance and safeguarding of any such items.
(2) In a case to which subsection (1) applies, the scheme may also make provision with respect to the disposal of any other contents of the church, not being tombstones, monuments or memorials commemorating deceased persons buried in the church or in any land belonging or annexed to the church.
(3) Where any items are disposed of in accordance with subsection (1) or (2) the bishop shall, subject to any provision of the scheme, give directions as to how any proceeds of their sale are to be applied.
(4) Where a pastoral (church buildings disposal) scheme or a pastoral church buildings scheme to which section 59 applies [i.e. Other provision by pastoral church buildings scheme for church to be closed for regular public worship] provides for the care and maintenance of a church or part of a church by the Churches Conservation Trust or where a pastoral (church buildings disposal) scheme provides for a church or part of a church to remain vested in the diocesan board of finance, the scheme may also provide for the vesting in and the care and maintenance by the Trust or the board, as the case may be, of any of the contents of the church or provide for the disposal of any of the contents other than any tombstones, monuments or memorials as are referred to in subsection (2).
(5) No faculty shall be required for anything done in pursuance of this section.
The Measure is accompanied by a Code of Practice, although with regard to the disposal of fonts &c, the relevant parts add little more than section 76[2]. Around twenty Church of England church buildings are closed for worship each year, and those currently being marketed for a suitable alternative use are listed here. Draft Pastoral Schemes and Orders currently being considered by the Church Commissioners are listed here, including both parish reorganisation and church building disposal.
The provisions within section 76 do not per se advance considerations on how unwanted fonts should be disposed of, or the weight that should be placed upon their sacramental nature. But neither do they impose any legal or other restrictions, merely referring to their "disposal"; they place the onus on the means of disposal on the provisions within a pastoral church buildings scheme or a pastoral (church buildings disposal) scheme under the 2011 Measure, or by directions of the bishop in the absence of such provisions, and not the consistory court, S76(5).
In practice, therefore, decisions relating to the fate of unwanted fonts under these schemes are determined through the involvement of a number of bodies at a local, diocesan level, although no doubt the arbiters will take note of legal and sacramental considerations in making their decision. Nevertheless, there exists a procedure within the ecclesiastical law of the Church, to which the faculty jurisdiction is inapplicable, for which the sacramental nature of fonts &c is not an implicit concern [the word "sacramental" is absent from both the Measure and its Code of Practice].
Whilst quasi-legislative guidance will only have persuasive effect, and need not be followed, as in In re St Peter's, Draycott [2009] Fam 93 in relation to font, and debatably in the more recent Re St. Mary Balcombe [2015] regarding the selection of a contractor. However, its existence nevertheless provides a benchmark against which judgements may be considered.
This post was updated on 27 May 2016 following our considerations of Re St Philip Scholes [2016] ECC Lee 5, here.

Canon Michael Ainsworth on 17 April 2015 at 9:11 am said:
Thanks for this further elucidation, David. But my concerns relate more particularly to fonts in churches which remain in normal parochial use where, for whatever reason, the parish seeks to dispose of its 'historic' font, and as I suggested previously, it is helpful to distinguish the various scenarios.
David Pocklington on 17 April 2015 at 9:16 am said:
Yes, point taken. I agree. dp

From investors providing needed funding to high-potential entrepreneurs, to capacity development providers helping SGBs get the skills they need to compete, different organizations have critical roles to play. The four types of organizations highlighted here–corporations, development agencies, foundations, and banks–have the potential to transform the sector.
Corporations must both grow their businesses in a global environment of high competition and dwindling natural resources and support the environment and the communities where they operate. Supporting SGBs can help. Through their core business, their sustainability practices, or both, corporations that work with SGBs see concrete returns.
Countries with robust communities of SGBs have better development prospects than those without. When the SGBs succeed, they create jobs and provide solutions to social challenges. Yet it is rare for a poor country to have a strong SGB community. Weak systems— from education, to transportation, to financial policy—all make it more difficult to start, run, and grow a business. Development institutions are uniquely positioned to build the entrepreneurial ecosystems that SGBs need to thrive.
Small businesses need capital to grow, and financial institutions (FIs) need new customers to expand their lines of business. These needs complement each other. By embracing small businesses as borrowers, FIs are both growing their customer base and—through the growth of the SGB—contributing to job growth and economic well-being in the communities they serve.

CBS Reportedly Considering Captain Janeway Star Trek Show

This past weekend's New York Comic Con brought some big news for Star Trek fans, as Kate Mulgrew is returning to voice Kathryn Janeway in upcoming Nickelodeon animated series Star Trek: Prodigy. This is huge, as it's the first time the Voyager star has returned to the franchise since that show ended in 2001. But it might not be the last time, as CBS appears to be considering bringing her back in live-action, too.
Insider Daniel Richtman has posted over on his Patreon account that there are talks to get Mulgrew back on board in the flesh to star in her own live-action series featuring an older Janeway. That's all that he was able to reveal, but it's worth paying attention to as it corroborates We Got This Covered's own scoop from back in April. At the time, we reported that the network was eager to give the character her own spinoff.
From what we were told, Janeway will cameo on a future season of Picard before being launched off into her own show. We don't know if that's still the plan, especially now that Mulgrew's already back and voicing her iconic role in Prodigy, but regardless, it seems CBS has more in the works for her.
It's hard to say what form a Janeway spinoff could take until we get some further details on her part in Prodigy, as we don't even currently know when exactly in the Trek timeline it's set. But a live-action show would likely take place concurrently with Picard, and it would be fascinating to see how Janeway fares in the darker version of the galaxy depicted in Patrick Stewart's series.
This potential project is still clearly in the early stages, but with Paramount/CBS wanting to keep on expanding Star Trek in new ways, it could easily happen at some point in the next few years. In any case, we'll keep you posted on Janeway's future in the franchise as we learn more.


The exhibition takes its title from the answer given by cult 1970s television chefs Peter Hudson and David Halls to an interviewer's point-blank question "Are you gay?" Hudson and Halls' unique brand of camp, slapstick, booze-soaked humour and questionable cooking beamed into New Zealand's living rooms at a time when homophobia was rampant and homosexuality was illegal. The 1969 Stonewall Riots were still recent, the passing of the Homosexual Law Reform Bill would not occur until 1986 … and Hudson and Halls were in the closet with the door wide open.
Pride Festivals all over the world – including ours in Auckland - are celebrations of the distance our communities have come in terms of our diversity and creativity as well as our cultural and political power.
