A very good question! WHY NOT JUST BAKE THE LOAF IN A DUTCH OVEN? I'VE HEARD OF THAT METHOD. Baking bread in a Dutch oven is a great way to bake hearth loaves at home, for sure. This method was popularized by Jim Lahey's "no-knead" method, and Chad Robertson's gorgeous book Tartine Bread. I'm sure other folks have written about it as well, but it was through 34 Josey Baker Bread these two sources that I realized what a miraculous technique it is. It traps all the steam from the baking bread and also blasts the bread with heat, which contributes to "oven spring"—the rapid increase in volume of the loaf upon entering the oven.
Measure the following, toss 'em into a big bowl, and stir it up with a spoon (or your hand if you're feelin' frisky): 2. 1 LOAF 2 LOAVES 4 LOAVES yeast 1/4 1/2 1 tsp cool water (60°F/15°C) 1/2 cup/ 120 g 1 cup/ 240 g 2 cups/ 480 g whole-wheat flour 3/4 cup/ 105 g 11/2 cups 210 g 3 cups/ 420 g tsp tsp You just want to get things mixed evenly. It'll be like a thick pancake batter. This will take only 30 seconds or so. 3. Let the magic happen. Cover the bowl with a plate or plastic wrap—just so the moisture can't sneak out of the bowl—and put it in a cool place (55 to 65°F/13 to 18°C) for about 12 hours (overnight is fine, or during the day while you're at work/playing hooky).
Make the seed soaker. Measure and mix in a small bowl or jar: 3. 1 LOAF 2 LOAVES 4 LOAVES toasted sesame seeds 1/3 cup/ 55 g 2/3 cup/ 110 g 1 1/3 cups/ 220 g warm water (100°F/38°C) 1/4 1/2 1 cup/ 240 g cup/ 60 g cup/ 120 g Everything else is the same as last time, up until the loaf shaping. 4.

Lesson 410 Presidents Authorizing Military Strikes?
Last week the senate committee on foreign relations met with both the secretaries of defense and state. I watched what seemed like endless give and take as these two powerful men sat next to each other answering probing questions.
The purpose of the meeting was to hear the administration's perspective on authorizations for the use of military force. However, it seemed to me that the senators were really looking for ways to recapture their constitutionally defined "checks and balances" role.
Each secretary carefully made the case that in today's rapidly changing world the president simply must have the power to strike quickly, especially when an adversary is seriously threatening us. The senators' concern, however, was that this authority has amounted to giving presidents the power to engage in small adversary-related battles and air strikes at any time most anywhere in the world. And this is happening right now in Africa.
In today's social media, 24/7 news, and Internet connected environment it seems reasonable to conclude that sorting out the details related to writing a military strike authorization policy might be next to impossible. But as various verbal challenges went back and forth across the room, it soon seemed apparent to me that the real agenda here was unspoken, and would remain so: Can this particular president be trusted to address these increasing threats carefully and intelligently?
Sitting next to each other these secretaries were explaining what to many would seem obvious: Modern presidents will likely face these split-second life and death decisions more than once. But right there in front of everyone was a secretary of state who reportedly had recently labeled his boss a moron, and was now trying to describe why such a president should have the power to authorize military strikes… even nuclear ones. Was this more reality TV, or what?
For people to feel confidence in high stakes leaders there must be a level of trust that can only be earned over time by demonstrating a strong moral character, solid and relevant experience, obvious high intelligence, and a record of good judgement. This is just common sense… and an often demonstrated communication 101 principle.

Understanding Blockchains
By Ben Whetsell
Blockchains — a sort of digital ledger best known for powering the bitcoin digital currency — have been getting a lot of attention from lawyers for their potential to change how people transact. Specifically, there are a number of software projects aimed at applying blockchains to create self-executing "smart contracts" (or at least trying to).
Lawyers often deal with how people transact, so it's probably a good idea for lawyers to understand blockchains.
Understanding blockchains is hard, though, especially when approaching them from a legal standpoint without looking under the hood from a technology standpoint. Here are some of the best resources for understanding blockchains from outside of law.
Digging In: The Bitcoin Connection
A top resource for understanding blockchains is "Bitcoin for the Befuddled" by Conrad Barski and Chris Wilmer. Why read a book about bitcoin to understand blockchains? Bitcoin is the first and best-known implementation of a blockchain, and bitcoins and blockchains are essentially inseparable: To possess bitcoins means to possess the credentials to tell the bitcoin blockchain that your bitcoins should go down and someone else's bitcoins should go up by the same amount. Using bitcoins as a real-life example of a blockchain makes understanding blockchains much easier.
Another excellent resource is CoinDesk, especially its guides on blockchains (all written by Nolan Bauerle, who studied digital currencies while doing research for the Canadian Senate Banking Committee).
These resources focus less on legal or regulatory matters and more on how blockchains work (and also less on breathless predictions of the impending blockchain revolution and more on real life).
In particular, these resources differ from descriptions of blockchains often found in legal publications on two important claims.
Running Down Two Claims: Irreversible and Unhackable
One claim is that when you save data to "the blockchain," it's permanent, unchangeable, irreversible. This claim often appears in discussions about bitcoin transactions stored on the bitcoin blockchain, and in the bitcoin context, irreversibility is absolutely essential. (Digital currencies wouldn't work if you could go to the store, spend your digital currency, take away your newly purchased stuff, and then use "Undo" to get your money back.) But the claim is sometimes presented in a way that makes it seem like the bitcoin blockchain is the only blockchain, or like all blockchains necessarily work the way the bitcoin blockchain does.
Unless you really mean "every kind of blockchain and other distributed/decentralized/peer-to-peer (crypto) ledger generally now and forever," it's probably not a good idea to talk about "the blockchain" in the abstract — no more than it is a good idea to talk about "the social networking website" in the abstract. There's Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Twitter and more. And while these are all social networking websites, they each work a bit differently.
A more technical analogy is "the version control system." Software developers use version control systems to manage changes to source code over time. Git, one of the most widely used version control systems, is similar to a blockchain: Both Git and blockchains use a Merkle tree (or something similar) to save and verify changes to data. In addition to Git, there's Subversion, Mercurial and more. And just as social networking websites offer different features, so do version control systems: Git allows you to modify past data (but you have to be careful); Subversion doesn't really allow this.
So: Is Data Saved to "the Blockchain" Permanent?
For blockchains generally, the answer seems to be, "It depends." Besides bitcoin, there are a number of software projects with their own blockchains (Ethereum, Symbiont, many others, and more seemingly monthly). It's practically impossible to put together an overview of all the blockchains under active development (CoinDesk's Smart Contracts Report makes a brave attempt), but it wouldn't surprise me if a few of these blockchains had mechanisms for modifying past data. (Git, which uses essentially the same data structure as a blockchain, allows modification of past data, so it's not like it can't be done.)
There's also interest in private blockchains.
Part of what makes data in the bitcoin blockchain (essentially) permanent is that the bitcoin blockchain is stored on many computers that aren't controlled by a single party — there's no central repository of data that you can change and call it a day. But if a blockchain is private, and you control the computers that store the blockchain data, and you decide you want to rewrite history, who's to stop you? A March 2017 Harvard Business Review article on blockchain security characterizes the ability to reverse transactions — that is, rewrite history — as a benefit of private blockchains (at least in certain contexts).
For the bitcoin blockchain in particular, the answer is probably, "Yes, for all practical purposes" (but not a straightforward "Yes").
In bitcoin's early stages (August 2010 — the first bitcoin block was saved to the bitcoin blockchain in January 2009), someone exploited a bitcoin bug (similar to what caused Gandhi to go around nuking everyone in the first Civilization computer game) to create billions more bitcoins than were ever intended to exist. As dire as that sounds, this event actually ranks dead last in CoinDesk's The 9 Biggest Screwups in Bitcoin History.
The bitcoin developers' solution (in addition to fixing the bug) was a rollback of the bitcoin blockchain: remove the bazillion bitcoin transaction and all the transactions after it. All of that permanent, irreversible bitcoin transaction data in the blockchain? Gone. (Good thing, too.)
But that was in 2010. For a number of reasons (not the least of which is that the bitcoin blockchain is stored on so many more computers today that arriving at a consensus on a rollback would be very difficult), another rollback is very unlikely today – but very unlikely isn't the same as impossible.
A second claim is that "the blockchain" cannot be or has never been hacked.
At some level, the claim that a blockchain has never been hacked is just semantics. For example, if you cause a bazillion spurious bitcoins to be added to the bitcoin blockchain by exploiting a bug in bitcoin code, but not blockchain code (like someone did in August 2010), I guess it's more accurate to say that you hacked bitcoin and not the blockchain, but what difference does it make?
In any event, CoinDesk publishes plenty of articles on memorably named digital currency hacks that involve exploiting attributes of blockchains: 51 percent attacks, time warp attacks, eclipse attacks and more.

To examine the effects of regular participation in recreational soccer on health profile, 36 healthy untrained Danish men aged 20–43 years were randomised into a soccer group (SO; n = 13), a running group (RU; n = 12) and a control group (CO; n = 11). Training was performed for 1 h two or three times per week for 12 weeks; at an average heart rate of 82% (SEM 2%) and 82% (1%) of HRmax for SO and RU, respectively. During the 12 week period, maximal oxygen uptake increased (p<0.05) by 13% (3%) and 8% (3%) in SO and RU, respectively. In SO, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were reduced (p<0.05) from 130 (2) to 122 (2) mm Hg and from 77 (2) to 72 (2) mm Hg, respectively, after 12 weeks, with similar decreases observed for RU. After the 12 weeks of training, fat mass was 3.0% (2.7 (0.6) kg) and 1.8% (1.8 (0.4) kg) lower (p<0.05) for SO and RU, respectively. Only SO had an increase in lean body mass (1.7 (0.4) kg, p<0.05), an increase in lower extremity bone mass (41 (8) g, p<0.05), a decrease in LDL-cholesterol (2.7 (0.2) to 2.3 (0.2) mmol/l; p<0.05) and an increase (p<0.05) in fat oxidation during running at 9.5 km/h. The number of capillaries per muscle fibre was 23% (4%) and 16% (7%) higher (p<0.05) in SO and RU, respectively, after 12 weeks. No changes in any of the measured variables were observed for CO. In conclusion, participation in regular recreational soccer training, organised as small-sided drills, has significant beneficial effects on health profile and physical capacity for untrained men, and in some aspects it is superior to frequent moderate-intensity running.

I adore this book. It will be getting 5 Stars. It is like a cross between Farscape & Kill-joys, with a strong, fallible heroine on a mission to stop an impending war. A very strong debut from this author. I've pre-ordered it from audible – first time I've ever done that.
I featured this book as hot cover last week (as it is hot!) and I have a fondness for ex-military heroes – I have it on the TR list.
I loved the first one and this cover is LOVELY. A family drama is the back-drop but it is all romance .. on the list.

Q: Iterate through checkbox list and assign the values from Database to list as selected if DB has the value I have an asp.net checkbox list with 10 values and i have inserted 4 checked values to database. Now the values are in database as below
1
2
3
4

If i want to reassign the values to Checkboxlist as checked. Can someone tell me how to iterate through the checkbox list with the database values and check the ones i get from Database.
Thanks in advance....

A: This should do it. You just need to check the value of the listitem to see if its the same as one(s) in the database. There are many ways you could do this and really depends on the rest of your setup and the connection to your database.
Here is how to iterate through the listbox items (which I think is your real question):
   for (int x = 0; x < listBox1.Items.Count; x++)
   {
    if(YOUR LOGIC HERE)
    {
       listBox1.SetSelected(x, true);
    }
   }

Hope this helps you!

Emancipation Day in 2019/2020 - When, Where, Why, How is Celebrated?
Celebrated annually on April 16th, Emancipation Day is a holiday that is celebrated all across the United States but particularly in Washington, DC to celebrate Abraham Lincoln signing the Compensated Emancipation Act on April 16th, 1862. Officially, this ended the act of slavery in the District of Columbia but technically slavery wouldn't end in the United States until after the Civil War in 1865.
At the beginning of 1860, there were about 4 million slaves in the United States. On April 16th, 1862, U.S. President Abraham Lincoln signed the Compensated Emancipation Act – which freed approximately 3,000 slaves in the District of Columbia. However, this didn't resolve the larger issue of slavery in the United States. That wouldn't be solved until the end of the Civil War in 1865. On January 31st, 1865, the Thirteenth Amendment was proposed to end slavery in the United States. It was ratified by 30 of the 36 states that year.
In 2005, in the District of Columbia, Emancipation Day was made a public holiday in Washington, DC. And while it is celebrated all over the U.S., it is not celebrated everywhere on April 16th. In Florida, it's celebrated on May 20th; In Texas, it's celebrated on June 19th and in Puerto Rico, it's celebrated on March 22nd. Emancipation Day is also celebrated on different days in many Caribbean countries. These include Anguilla, Bahamas, Bermuda, Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and the Turks and Caicos Islands. However, since many of these Caribbean countries were British possessions, they celebrate their Emancipation Day on August 1st because that is when slavery was abolished in the U.K in 1834.
On Emancipation Day, local government offices in Washington, DC are closed and some private businesses may be closed – although the majority of them usually remain open. On this day, there are usually a variety of exhibitions, presentations, poetry readings, and concerts. There also may be the ceremonial laying of wreaths on graves. It is also a day on which many Americans reflect on racial issues in the United States today.
On Pennsylvania Avenue, in Washington, DC, there are usually a variety of bands which march down the street. These bands include ones from the military, ones from both private and public schools and bands from other organizations. After the parades, the day is usually celebrated with a fireworks display.
Where is Emancipation Day celebrated?

Home MCA CATALOGUES Michael Armitage: The Promised Land
Michael Armitage: The Promised Land
Born in Nairobi, 1984, Michael Armitage is one of Kenya's most exciting young artists. His lush, often large-scale paintings merge the traditions of European modernism with the subjects and materials of East Africa. Living and working between Nairobi and London, Armitage paints with oil on Lubugo bark cloth – a culturally-significant material of the Buganda people in Uganda. The bark cloth is traditionally used as a burial shroud or in ceremonies. Replete with ripples, stitches and holes, Armitage stretches it across a frame to form the textured surface of his paintings. Armitage knits together narratives from folklore, his memory, current affairs, popular culture and the history of East Africa. His paintings are grounded in the social fabric and political dynamics of his homeland.
Michael Armitage: The Promised Land will be the artist's first exhibition in Australia, presenting recent work with a suite of new paintings that reflect on the recent Kenyan elections and the political rallies and dissidence that followed. Sumptuous and explicit in their representation of the human body, Armitage's paintings reconsider cultural traditions and stereotypes, spinning the exoticising gaze of Western art history into a different direction.

Maruti Suzuki India Limited, the country's largest car manufacturer today unveiled it's much awaited luxurious and sporty sedan, 'Kizashi'. Kizashi is the company's first offering in the upper end of the Indian car market.
Kizashi offers an excellent packaging of feature rich luxury, style and sporty performance. It is manufactured at Suzuki Motor Corporation's Sagara plant in Japan and will be imported into India as a Completely Built-up Unit (CBU). After its launch in Japan in late 2009, the Kizashi was introduced in the US.
Kizashi will be available in India in two variants: Manual Transmission (MT) and Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT).
At the launch, Shinzo Nakanishi, Managing Director and CEO, Maruti Suzuki India said, "The Kizashi is a major step forward for Maruti Suzuki. With the launch of this luxurious sporty sedan, Maruti Suzuki is able to offer an international car to top-end customers in India. I am delighted to note that most previews by auto experts here have been positive, appreciating the Kizashi's stylish looks, sporty performance and luxurious feel. We are fully geared to delight customers in a segment where we have been absent so far."
Kizashi delivers a sporty performance thanks to its powerful engine. The agility and performance is well complemented with a sporty look and profile of the Kizashi. With the array of top-end features Kizashi compares well with the premium luxury sedans in higher segments.
The Kizashi is powered by the celebrated 2.4 litre DOHC J–Series engine that ensures potent performance (maximum output: 178 PS @ 6,500rpm and a maximum torque: 230Nm @ 4,000rpm) while offering excellent fuel efficiency of 12.53 Kmpl (CVT) and 12.45 Kmpl (6-speed MT).
Recipient of five star rating in US NCAP crash tests.
*ESP® is a registered trademark of Daimler AG.
The Kizashi will be available in 'Snow White Pearl', 'Super Black Pearl' and 'Premium Silver Metallic' colors.
The Kizashi will give customers a choice of Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT), which further promotes fuel economy along with a superior driving experience. The 6-speed Manual Transmission (MT) is tuned for the true driving enthusiast to give a taste of Suzuki Motor Corporation's high technological competence.
The performance and handling of the Kizashi shall reflect the benefits of testing and tuning conducted in diverse conditions around the world. Kizashi has been tested in some of the most extreme conditions, like cold-weather trials in Minnesota and hot-weather trials in Death Valley, USA. Kizashi's handling has been honed on challenging country roads in the United Kingdom and on autobahns in Nürburgring, Germany.
Kizashi is, indeed, a true sign of a great thing to come !
Kizashi can be booked with an initial deposit of Rs 50,000/- at any Maruti Suzuki Dealers immediately. Deliveries for Kizashi will begin in March 2011.

Our linked Secondary School is Aldworth.
Park View Primary School is linked to Aldworth School, a local secondary school in the same catchment area. The majority of children from Park View Primary enrol at Aldworth. In preparation for secondary education, Aldworth provide transition days for Year 6 children. The Head of Year 7 meets with Year 6 teachers to plan for smooth transition for all the children due to start there in September.
Children with SEND have a number of additional days where they visit their secondary schools in preparation for transition. Aldworth also sends a Year 7 teacher, in the summer, to work with groups of children which we find very useful in pre- emptying any worries they might have.
Aldworth also provides taster days for children in Year 5, where the school plans and delivers exciting lessons for these children. The most popular activities they offer are ART, PE and ICT.
Over the years, Park View Primary has benefitted from Year 10 Sports Leaders coming in to deliver games to years 3 and 4 children. We regularly have ex-pupils return to carry out these sessions as part of their studies.

Uhoh. Jessica Biel accidentally goes to a premiere in fancy dress
Justin Timberlake normally chooses her outfits for her, but Jessica did this one herself. And looks a little bit like an emu as a result
Corinne Redfern
Thankfully for Jessica, we quite like emus. They're one of our favourites. But we're still not entirely sure whether you're meant to use them as style inspiration.
She does still look kind of amazing though. If you look past all of the ruffles and the pooffy bits and the lace and the collar and the pencil skirt bit, she's really very pretty. And her body is all kinds of phenominal.
The actress even revealed how she gets in shape for dresses films like this.
"5 months training. Kick boxing, boxing, Parkour training, into the gym to the Yoga class, back to the gym and then to the martial arts class," she told Kiss FM presenters Clara & Michael. "It was an intensive work out!
As a plus, she could probably go into hiding in an aviary later this evening and nobody would notice (
WENN)
And despite all the preparation, Jess still gets nervous before premieres. Possibly because she knows she looks a little bit like a wild bird / ballet dancer. Possibly just because they're film premieres. And those are quite scary events.
"It's always nerve wracking! You're sharing a film which is, your baby in a sense, with a bunch of people and you're putting your heart and soul out on the line number 1! Number 2, it's nerve wracking, you have butterflies in your stomach. Are you gonna trip? It's always a question. Are people going to receive us well, do they even care that we're here? You know, there are all these sorts of questions that scroll through your head. Am I going to sweat through my dress? Rip it? What's going to happen?"
(What's going to happen Jess, is that you're not going to trip. People will receive you well. People do care that you're there. Nobody will be able to see if you sweat through this dress in particular, unless you leave it too long and the underarms go yellow. And mostly everybody is just going to focus on your outfit rather than your acting. Because that's the kind of depraved society we live in. And also it's quite hilarious.)
Clara & Michael is Kiss FM's new show, and airs weekdays from 3pm until 7pm.

The Audi A8 has proved to be a landmark car - in more ways than one. For a start, it was the first of a new generation of 'A' models when it was launched in July 1994, proof at last that Audi really could build a decent large luxury saloon to compete with BMW, Jaguar and Mercedes. More importantly perhaps it was the world's first aluminium-bodied production car with a revolutionary light but strong construction. There aren't many around on the used market, but those that are available represent the thinking executive's choice in the sector.
The A8 was launched in July 1994 with either a 2.8-litre V6 or a 4.2-litre V8 in the flagship quattro version which press-on drivers could order in stiffened Sport form. A mid-range 3.7-litre V8 model was added in September 1995 and an upgraded 2.8 model a year later. In July 1997, the super-fast S8 quattro flagship was introduced. The first real range revamp came in Spring 1999. A subtly different front end complimented an updated interior and small changes to the ride and handling set-up. The look of the standard range remained familiar however, apart from the adoption of quattro four-wheel drive for the 3.7-litre V8. A revamped S8 arrived in June 1999. November 1999 saw the release of a luxurious long wheelbase limousine variant of the A8. This competed with the Mercedes-Benz SEL models and was available only with the 4.2-litre quattro drivetrain. In 2001, Audi tidied up the A8 range with some minor detail improvements and also ditched the 2.8-litre entry-level version's front wheel drive transmission in favour of a more suitable quattro all-wheel drive set up. The A8 was replaced by an all-new version in early 2003.
A desirable executive saloon with plenty of equipment as standard. Expect leather upholstery, automatic air conditioning, traction control and four side airbags integrated into the seatbacks in addition to the front driver and passenger airbags. Sport models feature a set of stylish seven-spoke alloys, front sports seats and sports suspension (lowered by 20mm), together with stiffer shock absorbers and anti-roll bars. Nice touches include airvents built into the rear window side pillars for back seat passengers, large extra-wide opening doors and a First Aid kit built into the rear central armrest. One of the things the A8 has always lacked is a long wheelbase option - BMW, Jaguar and Mercedes all provide one. However, it`s only when you begin to look around the Audi's opulent cabin that you realise how unnecessary that would be for all but the most long-legged of passengers. A driver of well over six foot could sit behind himself and stretch his legs right out. The boot meanwhile is so huge that to retrieve items which have slid to the back, you actually have to climb inside it. Apart from the aluminium body, the other unique A8 attributes are the four-wheel drive system used on the flagship 4.2 (and later 3.7s) and the clever `Tiptronic` automatic transmission that you'll find on most examples.
If you`re worried about what might happen should you be unfortunate enough to dent the expensive aluminium bodywork, then fear not. Audi says that 95% of accident damage is repairable at any of their dealers while the other (more serious) 5% can be handled at any one of three specialist centres being established in the UK. Otherwise, not much goes wrong but a full service history is essential.
(approx based on a '97, 3.7-litre - ex Vat) A clutch assembly is around £200 and an exhaust system about £420 (minus the cat ). Brake pads are around £120 for the fronts and around £70 for the rear, while shock absorbers are around the £150 mark. Finally. a replacement headlamp can be up to £290.
When the A8 was originally launched, Audi were surprised by how few customers opted or the 174bhp V6 model, the majority deciding instead to pay extra for the 4.2-litre V8 quattro. Part of the reason, as they now acknowledge, lay in the six-cylinder car's slight power disadvantage over obvious rivals like BMW's 728i and Mercedes' S280. That's was soon put right with the introduction of a 30valve V6 engine developing a healthy 193bhp and capable of rest to sixty in 8.2s on the way to 145mph. Torque was also much improved and there was the option of the clever Tiptronic gearbox which enables you to drive the car almost as if it had manual transmission. The result is a car that out-handles even that king of luxury boardroom barnstormers, the BMW 7 series. There are compromises of course, as far as the ride is concerned, but if you're concerned about that, then you're probably not considering the Audi anyway.
An extremely under-rated executive saloon with more space and power than most of its rivals.

text: Vivekananda House (earlier known as Ice House or Castle Kernan) is an important place for the Ramakrishna Movement in South India. Swami Vivekananda came to Chennai (earlier Madras) in February 1897, and he stayed at Castle Kernan for nine days. During his nine-day stay, he shook India's national consciousness through his fiery lectures at Chennai. Later, Ramakrishna Math (Monastery) Chennai was founded by Swami Ramakrishnananda, a brother disciple of Swami Vivekananda. The Math functioned from here during its first 10 years (1897-1906) until it got moved to the current location at Mylapore, Chennai. In 1963, during the Birth Centenary of Swami Vivekananda, the Government of Tamil Nadu renamed the Castle Kernan as Vivekanandar Illam (Illam means house in Tamil) or 'Vivekananda House'. In 1997, on the eve of the Centenary of Swamiji's return to India (and his stay at House), the Government of Tamilnadu at the request of the Ramakrishna Math, leased out the Vivekananda House and it's now valid up to 2111. Vivekananda House now houses a Permanent Exhibition on Indian Culture and Swamiji's Life, maintained by the Ramakrishna Math and is a source of inspiration to thousands of people who visit it every year.

1832 MINUTES – Resolved – That the minutes of the proceedings of the meeting held on 26 July 2017, having been printed and circulated amongst the members, be taken as read and correctly recorded and be signed by the Chairman.
1833 (47) APPLICATIONS DEFERRED FROM PREVIOUS MEETING – In accordance with the decisions at the previous meeting, members had undertaken site visits on the morning of the meeting. The Director: Operations submitted reports and updated them orally.
(i) PA/2017/547 by Mr Daniel Abbott for planning permission to erect an agricultural building for livestock at field west of Brigadoon, The Turbary, Belton, DN9 1QE.
An objector addressed the committee raising concerns that the application was out of character for the area, it was too large, unsuitable for the keeping of cattle, and indicated that the odour it would produce would be a major problem for the local area.
Cllr Ogg having visited the site agreed that it was not suitable for use as a cattle shed, and therefore felt that the application should be refused.
Resolved – That the planning application be refused in accordance with the officers report.
1834 (48) MAJOR APPLICATIONS – The Director: Operations submitted a report containing details of major applications for determination by the committee, including summaries of policy context, representations arising from consultation and publicity and assessment of the applications.
(i) MIN/2016/1823 by Mr Matthew Shorland, Sibleco UK Ltd for planning permission for an extension to existing silica sand extraction operations, together with the construction of a new access to Brigg Road, associated works and planting, and progressive restoration to a landscaped lake and land suitable for nature conservation and agriculture at Messingham Quarry, Greetwell Hall Farm, Brigg Road, Manton Parish, DN21 4X.
A local resident raised a number of concerns which were – the potential increase in heavy traffic on the highway, possible traffic disruption, safety concerns for highway users, and pedestrian pedestrians and horse rider's safety. He also indicated that the roads could not accommodate bulky vehicles, and should not be routed through Scawby and major residential areas.
The agent for the application informed the committee that extensive consultation had taken place with local residents, and following those consultations the application had been amended and refined in order to accommodate requests. He also stated that as part of the application they would make road safety improvements that would be implemented before any extraction commenced, and that there would be no change to the existing system on Messingham Lane.
Cllr Poole as local ward member also raised a number of concerns with regard to the transportation from the new site to the sand washing plant due to proposed traffic volume on a narrow road with acute bends. He felt that the movements should be via an extended Haul Road.
Cllr C Sherwood queried the new map that was circulated at the meeting and the highways implications associated with it.
Cllr Bainbridge felt there was a lot of uncertainty surrounding the application, the new map and the highways information and requested it be deferred for further clarification.
Resolved – That the application be deferred for clarification on the highway management plan.
(ii) PA/2017/151 by Mr & Mrs Fisher for planning permission to erect 10 dwellings (including demolition of existing bungalow at Allerton Lodge, 14 Wendover Road, Messingham, DN17 3SJ.
The agent stated that the development would provide ten properties each with their own parking space and garden, minimising the risk of any overlooking through the design of the properties. He highlighted that the application supported planning policy, and that higher density schemes had previously been approved in the area.
Cllr Poole spoke as ward member with concerns that the number of dwellings proposed was too high a density for the size of the site, with the potential loss of amenity to adjacent properties in the area that were bungalows. He said it would have a detrimental visual impact on the area, and would cause traffic and parking issues.
Cllr Foster also spoke as ward member in agreement with Cllr Poole's comments, adding that it was over development for the area, and one storey dwellings would be more beneficial.
Cllr C Sherwood having visited the site also felt it was over development, and agreed with the two ward members that ten properties were too many for the size of the site.
Cllr Grant felt it was over intensified, and had the application been for eight dwellings it might have been more appropriate for the size of the site.
It was moved by Cllr C Sherwood and seconded by Cllr Grant –
That planning permission be refused for the following reason:-
The proposed development, by virtue of its scale, massing and density, would constitute an over-intensive, over-developed form of development which would be out of keeping with the street scene to the detriment of the character and appearance of the area. The proposal is therefore contrary to policies DS1 and H5 of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan, CS5 of the North Lincolnshire Core Strategy and paragraph 64 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
(iii) PA/2017/564 by Mr Keith Wilson, International Energy Crops Ltd for planning permission for the erection of four agricultural buildings for poultry rearing, together with associated feed bins, infrastructure and new highway access at Hall Farm, Middlegate Lane, Bonby.
An objector addressed the committee raising the following concerns – the odour would breach the Environment Agency's guidelines for acceptability, the impact on local residential amenity from the odour, and the impact it would have on the local landscape.
The agent responded and indicated that a full odour impact assessment had been carried out, and would have to be governed by an environmental permit. He said the Environment Agency assessed the reports, and had approved and granted a permit.
Cllr Waltham addressed the committee as local ward member and raised concerns that it was an industrial process to be carried out in a rural setting. He said the smell and odour omitted from the site would be unacceptable, and whilst environment permits are in place he was worried about the enforcement of them. He said it was an unacceptable area for the application with an adverse impact on the landscape.
Cllr J Davison highlighted that the roads were too narrow and not suitable for HGV's. He also felt it was too close to residential properties and the impact on them would be unacceptable from the odour produced, and the increase in traffic.
It was moved by Cllr J Davison and seconded by Cllr Glover –
The proposal constitutes an inappropriate form of industrial development within the open countryside which has not been accompanied by sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the odours emitted from the proposed facility and the vehicular movements to the site would not result in a significant harm to the character and appearance of the area. Therefore, due to its scale and industrial nature, the development is considered to be contrary to policies W17 and RD2 of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan 2003 and CS2 of the Core Strategy 2011.
(Cllr C Sherwood having declared a personal and prejudicial interest left the meeting prior to consideration of the following item – Minute 1834 (iv) refers).
(iv) PA/2017/803 by Frances Buck, Adventure Forest (T/A Go Ape) for planning permission for the construction and operation of a high ropes course with an associated reception cabin utilising an existing building at Normanby Hall Country Park, Normanby Park, Normanby, DN15 9HU.
An objector spoke against the application with concerns regarding the construction to be erected, and questioned the method of attachment to the trees.
Cllr Marper spoke as a local ward member and indicated she had been reassured that the methods to be used would be of good quality, and will be assessed annually. She felt it was good for the area, and would encourage physical activity.
Resolved – That planning permission be granted in accordance with the recommendations contained in the report.
(At this stage of proceedings Cllr C.Sherwood returned to the meeting).
1835 PLANNING AND OTHER APPLICATIONS – The Director: Operations submitted a report incorporating a schedule containing details of applications for determination by the committee including summaries of policy context, representations arising from consultation and publicity and assessment of the applications. The Group Manager – Development Control and Building Control updated the reports orally where appropriate. Other officers attending gave advice and answered members' questions as requested.
(i) PA/2016/1007 by Mrs Temporal for planning permission for conversion of existing outbuildings into a one-bedroom dwelling at Westview Farm, 121 Akeferry Road, Westwoodside, DN9 2NF.
Resolved – That planning permission be granted in accordance with the recommendations contained within the report.
(ii) PA/2017/422 by North Lincolnshire Council for planning permission to erect a proposed education and visitor centre at Messingham Road, South of Hallbrook Court, Bottesford, DN16 3TS.
Local ward councillors spoke in support and against the proposals, the main worry being around the lack of provision for additional parking if it was to be used more by members of the public.
Resolved – That planning permission be granted in accordance with the recommendations contained within the report with the addition of the following two conditions –
No development shall take place until plans illustrating the vehicle parking facilities have been submitted to and approved in writing by the local planning authority.
In the interests of highway safety and to comply with policy T19 of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan.
The proposed development shall not be brought into use until all works approved under condition 5 above have been completed.
(iii) PA/2017/575 by Mr Howard for planning permission to erect a dwelling adjacent to 14 Main Street, Worlaby, DN20 0NW.
(iv) PA/2017/611 by Mrs Janet Preston for outline planning permission for two four-bedroomed detached dwellings with appearance, landscaping and scale reserved for subsequent approval on land adjacent to Westfield House, Station Road, Garthorpe, DN17 4SA.
An objector raised a number of concerns with the application and they were that the proposal would result in over-development of the site, and that two, four bedroom houses surround by bungalows and semi-detached properties would not fit in with the street scene.
The agent stated that the development was on a vacant grass field with no trees or hedges to be removed, no objections from Highways or Environmental Health, and would not be out of character for the area.
Resolved –That planning permission be granted in accordance with the recommendations contained within the report.
(v) PA/2017/646 by Mr and Mrs Frank Lockwood for outline planning permission to demolish existing buildings and outbuildings and erect two two-bedroom semi-detached bungalows and six two-bedroom townhouses (in two blocks of three) including associated roads and parking areas at Saxons, 17 Greengate Lane, South Killingholme, DN40 3HB.
(Cllr Wells having declared a personal and prejudicial interest left the meeting prior to consideration of the following item – Minute 1835 (vi) refers).
(vi) PA/2017/679 by Mr and Mrs H Lea for planning permission to erect a replacement dwelling at Three Trees Farm, Star Carr Lane, Wrawby, DN20 8SG.
The applicant addressed the committee stating that the current property suffered from severe damp issues that had damaged the property and affected the health of the occupants. Furthermore, he said the amenity of the occupants was impinged due to the proximity of the dwelling to Star Carr Lane which carried a significant amount of agricultural traffic and noise.
Cllr Waltham spoke as a local ward member in favour of the application. He highlighted the need for the replacement dwelling for the health of the family, there had been no neighbouring objections, it would not be excessive in style, and in keeping with the area.
It was moved by Cllr Ogg and seconded by Cllr Grant –
That planning permission be granted in accordance with the following conditions –
The development must be begun before the expiration of three years from the date of this permission.
To comply with section 91 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in accordance with the following approved plans: 242016-01 Issue PP1P2001 and 242016-03 Issue P001.
For the avoidance of doubt and in the interests of proper planning.
The development permitted by this planning permission shall be carried out in accordance with the approved Flood Risk Assessment (FRA) undertaken by N Cullen (dated April 2017, ref: 4724/01), in particular setting finished floor levels no lower than 300 millimetres above existing ground levels. The mitigation measures shall be fully implemented prior to occupation and subsequently remain in place.
To reduce the risk of flooding to the proposed development and future occupants in accordance with policies DS16 of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan and CS19 of the North Lincolnshire Core Strategy.
Unless otherwise agreed by the local planning authority, development other than that required to be carried out as part of an approved scheme of remediation must not commence until parts 1 to 4 below have been complied with. If unexpected contamination is found after development has begun, development must be halted on that part of the site affected by the unexpected contamination to the extent specified by the local planning authority in writing until part 4 has been complied with in relation to that contamination.
Part 1: Site Characteristics
An investigation and risk assessment, in addition to any assessment provided with the planning application, must be completed in accordance with a scheme to assess the nature and extent of any contamination on the site, whether or not it originates on the site. The contents of the scheme are subject to the approval in writing of the local planning authority. The investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken by competent persons and a written report of the findings must be produced. The written report is subject to the approval in writing of the local planning authority. The report of the findings must include:
(i) a survey of the extent, scale and nature of contamination;
(ii) an assessment of the potential risks to:
– human health
– property (existing or proposed), including buildings, crops, livestock, pets, woodland and service lines and pipes
– adjoining land
– ground waters and surface waters
– ecological systems
– archaeological sites and ancient monuments;
(iii) an appraisal of remedial options, and a proposal of the preferred option(s).
This must be conducted in accordance with DEFRA and the Environment Agency's 'Model Procedures for the Management of Land Contamination, CLR 11'.
Part 2: Submission of Remediation Scheme
A detailed remediation scheme to bring the site to a condition suitable for the intended use by removing unacceptable risks to human health, buildings and other property and the natural and historical environment must be prepared, and is subject to the approval in writing of the local planning authority. The scheme must include all works to be undertaken, proposed remediation objectives and remediation criteria, a timetable of works and site management procedures. The scheme must ensure that the site will not qualify as contaminated land under Part 2A of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 in relation to the intended use of the land after remediation.
Part 3: Implementation of Approved Remediation Scheme
The approved remediation scheme must be carried out in accordance with its terms prior to the commencement of development other than that required to carry out remediation, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the local planning authority. The local planning authority must be given two weeks written notification of commencement of the remediation scheme works.
Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme, a verification report (referred to in PPS23 as a validation report) that demonstrates the effectiveness of the remediation carried out must be produced, and is subject to the approval in writing of the local planning authority.
Part 4: Reporting of Unexpected Contamination
In the event that contamination is found at any time when carrying out the approved development that was not previously identified it must be reported in writing immediately to the local planning authority. An investigation and risk assessment must be undertaken in accordance with the requirements of Part 1, and where remediation is necessary a remediation scheme must be prepared in accordance with the requirements of Part 2, which is subject to the approval in writing of the local planning authority.
Following completion of measures identified in the approved remediation scheme a verification report must be prepared, which is subject to the approval in writing of the local planning authority in accordance with Part 3.
To ensure that risks from land contamination to the future users of the land and neighbouring land are minimised, together with those to controlled waters, property and ecological systems, and to ensure that the development can be carried out safely without unacceptable risks to workers, neighbours and other off-site receptors in accordance with policy DS7 of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan.
Informative 1
Our records indicate that the proposed development site is bounded by an ordinary/riparian watercourse along the eastern boundary. The proposals indicate a new connection into the watercourse. This must be consented by North Lincolnshire Council's LLFA Drainage Team, in their capacity as Lead Local Flood Authority, and/or the local Internal Drainage Board through an Ordinary Watercourse Consent. Please contact the LLFA Drainage Team on 01724 297522 or by email to llfadrainageteam@northlincs.gov.uk for further details. Compliance with this guidance is to ensure the free flow of surface water is maintained throughout the development.
In determining this application, the council, as local planning authority, has taken account of the guidance in paragraphs 186 and 187 of the National Planning Policy Framework in order to seek to secure sustainable development that improves the economic, social and environmental conditions of the area.
(At this stage of proceedings Cllr Wells returned to the meeting).
(vii) PA/2017/808 by Mr and Mrs Greenwood for planning permission to erect single and two-storey rear extensions at Red House, Swallow Lane, Wootton, DN39 6SB.
(viii) PA/2017/884 by Gary Rafferty, Lidl (UK) GmbH for planning permission to vary condition 7 of PA/2000/0552 to 'No deliveries shall be made to the retail unit before 7am nor after 9pm Monday to Saturday, and not before 8am nor after 6pm on Sundays or public/bank holidays.' at Lidl Supermarket, High Street, Barton upon Humber, DN18 5PU.
The applicant stated that he sought to vary the condition and the delivery times due to the increase in popularity at the store. He stated that there was a demand to deliver fresh food to the store before it opens, and the current times did not meet customer's demands. He indicated that the delivery activities had been assessed and that there would be no impact on immediate or surrounding properties.
Cllr P.Vickers addressed the committee with concerns about the application and the request to vary the delivery times. He indicated that the store had not complied with its current conditions that were put in place for the protection of the local residential amenity.
Cllr C. Sherwood stated there was a lot of residential housing surrounding the store, and said it would be detrimental to the community if the condition was varied.
It was move by Cllr C.Sherwood and seconded by Cllr J.Davison –
Whilst the applicant has provided a noise assessment with the application it is considered that variation of the delivery hours would result in loss of amenity for occupiers of nearby residential properties through noise and general disturbance. The variation would also create an unacceptable form of development within the conservation area through general disturbance and noise. Accordingly the proposed variation would be contrary to policies DS1 and HE5 of the North Lincolnshire Local Plan.
(ix) PA/2017/1087 by Mr Mashook Ali, Crosby Cabz for planning permission for change of use of vacant shop to taxi office at 232 Frodingham Road, Scunthorpe, DN15 7NW.
(x) PA/2017/1104 by Mrs Andrea Brocklebank, North Lincolnshire Council for application to fell a beech tree known as T2 within and protected by the Barton 1976 Tree Preservation Order at land at the A15/A1077 interchange, Ferriby Road, Barton upon Humber.

text:
Q: template to_string << operator does not work for enum class I have a class that wraps a std::map, I have simplified it below. I wanted to implement a to_string() function which streams the first and second map entries into a stringstream with operator << - then returns the string result.
This works ok for int, float, string etc... anything that can be streamed basically.
But enum class xzy : int {...}; can't be stream -or it must be static_cast first. But in my template if I put static_cast around x.second then it will break other template types.
I want to know how I can deal with this. My first idea is to try to use type traits to detect if the type is integral (and then static cast it) otherwise just rely on the normal operator << function.
here is the class:
template<typename T1, typename T2>
class map_wrapper
{
public:
    std::map<T1, T2> m_map;
    std::map<T1, T2> &map() {return m_map;}
    std::string to_string()
    {
        std::stringstream ss;
        for (const auto &item : m_map)
        {
            // <----------------------- ISSUE HERE
            // So I want this to handle as many types as possible
            // Maybe I can do some sort of if type traits == integral then static cast?
            ss << item.first << ", " << static_cast<int>(item.second) << "\n";
            //ss << item.first << ", " << item.second << "\n";
        }
        return ss.str();
    }
};

here is my test code:

enum class types : int
{
    type1,
    type2,
    type3
};

int main()
{
    // This is all ok
    map_wrapper<int, int> int_map;
    int_map.map() = {{1, 2}, {3, 4}};
    std::cout << int_map.to_string() << std::endl;

    // This only works if I static_cast the enum types to an int within to_string()
    map_wrapper<int, types> type_map;
    type_map.map() = {{1, types::type1}, {2, types::type2}};
    std::cout << type_map.to_string() << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

I have annotated the parts that don't work as I want them to.
Live editable example: https://godbolt.org/z/rh8Y5v
update
Note the types enum is just an example - I would like it to work with any enum class ideally

A: You cannot specialize a single member function, you would need to specialize the whole class. If you only need it for this function, I suggest providing a template operator overload:
template<typename Enum,
         typename = std::enable_if_t<std::is_enum_v<Enum>>>
std::ostream& operator<< (std::ostream& out, Enum e)
{
    return out << static_cast<int>(e);
}

See it online
This operator will accept any enum or enum class. If you want to only accept enum class, you can use std::is_scoped_enum from C++23 or roll out your own one (there's a possible implementation in cppreference to help).
Note that you can still provide overloads if you want to pretty print a particular enum (which would require another full class specialization if we went with that).
