Q: What are the rate limits for GitHub Apps? I'm trying to interpret the Rate limits for GitHub Apps documentation. Is the limit for your app, no matter how many orgs where it is installed, or is the limit for each organization that installs it?
For example, let's say I created the GitHub app "foo". GitHub organizations "bar" and "biz" install my app "foo".

*

*Do I have 5,000 minimum rate limit for API calls against the GitHub org "bar", and a separate 5,000 minimum rate limit for API calls against the GitHub org "biz"?

*Or do I have a 5,000 minimum rate limit against the orgs "bar" and "biz" combined?

The way I read the doc, it sounds like the first case. But we seeing failures in a prod environment that seem to indicate it might be the second case. We're still trying to narrow it down, but checking if anybody knows for sure.
Thanks,
Charles

A: I had asked the same question to GitHub support and got an answer -- the answer is number 1 -- the limit is per installation target.

Its way too early to say that, RCT World doesn't come out until 2015. Atari and Pipeworks have plenty of time to make the game better, lets wait and see what happens in the coming months and then we can decide based on that.
RollerCoaster Tycoon World will be available for PC and feature a combination of fan-favorite and completely new gameplay --such as an innovative track builder, more rides than ever before, and all-new cooperative multiplayer functions in addition to classic single player modes.
Excited to learn what Atari and Pipeworks mean by "innovative track builder" and "more rides than ever before". I know a lot of people have been wanting similar ride construction in NL2 implemented in RCT World, I for one want Atari to stick with the same track building in RCT1, 2, & 3 but we will see in the coming months. As far as the new rides are concerned, will Atari add a Winged coaster like Gatekeeper at Cedar Point? I sure hope so, that would be amazing!
The "Innovative track builder" is a spline system. No longer will your coasters have to conform to specific pieces and grid placement.
I know there's a new one coming out this spring. Any news on when yet?
No, they are going through the game trying to make it more realistic because of the complaints they have had from fans. I agree with the fans because of the animated look to everything, however they surely won't change the whole game, probably some touch-ups, but it will definitely need custom scenery, so I don't get the point, yes it has better graphics, but I won't be buying it full price brand new. I believe they said sometime this summer is when it will release.

NPC deputies bring better livelihood to rural residents
11 March, 2022 10:49 am
By Che Bin, Shi Yiqi, People's Daily
To push forward all-round rural vitalization has been made a focus of China's work related to agriculture, rural areas, and rural residents after the country has secured a complete victory in its fight against poverty.
Therefore, all-round rural vitalization was a hotspot topic during this year's "two sessions," the annual meetings of China's top legislature and political advisory body. Many deputies have shared their ideas on how to better promote rural vitalization based on their first-hand work experience, as well as the results of their field surveys.
Zhang Yan, director and researcher of the soil research department of the Tieling Academy of Agricultural Sciences, northeast China's Liaoning province, is a deputy to the 13th National People's Congress (NPC). Over the past years, she has proposed over 20 motions and suggestions on farm produce quality safety, food security, conservative farming of black soil in northeast China and many other issues.
"To ensure the supply of important agricultural products, especially that of crops, is a primary task for rural vitalization," she said, adding that it's a pleasure for her to conduct field surveys and increase farmers' income through agricultural technologies.

Zhang often tells farmers the benefits of conservative farming and organic fertilizers. She said that to cover soil with straws can reduce water loss and soil erosion, and stubbles make better physicochemical properties of soil. Besides, shifting cultivation leads to higher fertility of soils, and to diversify crops in the fields would reduce the occurrence of plant diseases and insect pests.
Zhang has also launched pilot programs with her team in multiple villages, the results of which have encouraged more local farmers to return straws to farmlands and increase the use of microbial or organic fertilizers.
When she learned that there was a 175-mu (11.67 hectares) low-yield field in a village in Tieling, she immediately went on a field trip and formulated a soil improvement plan. The plan doubled the unit output of soybeans in the field, from 100kg per mu to 200kg. Farmers' income doubled, too.
Huangwo is a coastal village surrounded by mountains in Gaogongdao neighborhood, Lianyun district, Lianyungang, east China's Jiangsu province. Villages there used to make a living by fishing. However, the declining fishery resources led to a drop in villagers' income.
Zhang Lixiang, Party head of the village and also an NPC deputy, paired with those in the village who were not able to fish on the sea and built a 100-mu nori cultivation ground with a mortgage loan he applied. Today, around 90 percent of the villagers in Huangwo are engaged in the nori business, which generates annual output of 240 million yuan (nearly $38 million).

The booming nori business has brought better livelihood to villagers. Zhang, devoting himself to rural vitalization, has helped the village pave a new path of sustainable and high-quality development.
After soliciting opinions from the villagers, he decided to lead them to develop rural tourism. With an investment of 15 million yuan, the village built a new square and roads, and started renovating sewage disposal facilities and residential buildings. Besides, it also had its power grid upgraded by local power supply department. What's more, the village, relying on its beautiful natural environment, has built new tourist attractions. According to statistics, the village received nearly 100,000 visits last year.
Marine ecological protection is another issue that Zhang has focused on for years as an NPC deputy. "Great marine ecology is a foundation for us to embrace high-quality development," he said.

Oxford in the sun, my new shop and my new job!
I've had a busy two months, hence the lack of blog posts and Oxford in that time has gone from overcast to cracking the flags. My favourite time of the year has arrived.
In the past few weeks I've been to Marbella for a hen party …..
Been the Botanical gardens in my new vintage dress….
And casually launched Emmaus Oxford's new charity shop on Barns Road. The biggest chazza shop in Oxford – after a year of hard work, laughs, sweat and tears!
We had a great launch party on May 14th with the antiques expert Jonty Hearnden, The Art Room, Annie Sloan and Jack FM.
And even the flowers have started to come out in my garden as we start the beginning of Summer.
It's been an exciting few weeks and I couldn't be prouder of all the companions, volunteers and staff at Emmaus Oxford.
I'm very pleased to announce that I have a new job back at Oxfam GB working in the fundraising team developing new products/ events. I love to develop new projects and as I say goodbye to launching the Emmaus shop, I'm rejoining a fantastic organisation and team to develop new initiatives to raise money for Oxfam.
I'm really looking forward to the Summer and getting out and about in Oxford and other cities to find vintage gems and cool new things to blog about. Spending time with friends and family and back to blogging.

The clinical case presents a rare observation of a 28-year-old female with uninterruptedly relapsing atrial fibrillation from the upper vena cava area. A radiofrequency isolation of the upper vena cava coupling was performed, as well as segmental ablation of ectopia with different cycle times from the vein itself. This disease can occur both in persons with concomitant pathology of the cardiovascular system (Coronary heart disease, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, etc.), and in individuals without a background pathology, that is, in practically healthy people. Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common forms of atrial tachycardia. Numerous clinical studies have shown that in the paroxysmal form of atrial fibrillation, arrhythmogenic activity starts from the region of the pulmonary veins, namely from the muscle sleeves that surround them. Similar muscle couplings exist in the area where the superior vena cava falls into the right atrium, therefore, they can also be arrhythmogenic sources. In the practice of the physician, atrial fibrillation from the superior vena cava is rare, so the main task of this article is to describe the case of atrial fibrillation from the upper vena cava coupling, and to explain the technique and results of radiofrequency catheter ablation of this type of arrhythmia.

Unexplained Item In Bagging Area
This year's Health, Wealth & Happiness report spat out dozens of interesting trends and nuggets that define the UK's headspace on life and work topics.
One globule immediately caught the eye: it turns out that despite the scary big headlines, the prospect of AI taking our jobs really doesn't faze us Brits.
According to the Office of National statistics, AI and automation threatens 1.5m UK workers. Within a decade, so says PwC, automation could replace up to 30% of the UK workforce.
A range of big voices – including Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and Alibaba's Jack Ma – continually pipe up to tell us to "prepare for more pain than happiness" as AI sinks its claws into the world.
But do Brits care? Not really. Health, Wealth & Happiness 2019 reveals that just 8% of us fear the rise of the robots, while 38% believe nothing will change. Nearly one in four (24%) of us believe AI will in fact be a net positive on our jobs.
Are we right to be so blasé? Drivers, factory and admin staff, sure, but what about creatives, emergency workers and Hollywood stars - surely AI won't bother them …
Writers?
Creatives of all stripes have long clung onto the belief that robots can't create and nurture ideas. Sure, AI can do process-driven tasks, but bringing stories to life takes soul - and AI don't got soul.
However, newspapers such as The New York Times, Reuters, Washington Post, and Yahoo! already use AI to generate written content. Programs at The Press Association, for example, now produce circa 30,000 local news stories a month.
Businesses, too, use programs based in Natural Language Generation (NLG) to produce reports, financial forecasts and even emails.
And before writers claim that this sounds more about process than prose, NLG has creative storytelling down too.
In Japan 2016, NLG was used to create an almost award-winning novel entitled, The Day a Computer Writes a Novel, which was described as "scarily well-written". In late 2018, Hollywood director Kevin Macdonald took charge of a 60-second Lexus advert based on a storyboard produced by AI.
Chefs and surgeons?
Michelin-standard dishes require humans, right? Chefs need to taste their food; to experiment with flavour combinations and use their digital dexterity and timing to pull off five star meals with no margin for error. Can a machine handle that?
Chopping, dicing, slicing, creating - robots are already commanding kitchens across the world. Several robotics companies, including British company, Moley, are working on machines that can not only learn new recipes (and execute them) … but clean up after themselves too.
Boston restaurant Spyce was one of the first to replace human cooks with robot chefs and it has since become a major business selling point.
In developing countries, start-up restaurants are embracing robo kitchens as a way to ensure consistent culinary results while keeping costs down in the long term.
As much as cooking and surgery can ever be compared, the act of delicate and precision cutting and weaving in the kitchen isn't a million miles from surgery in the OR. Robots have been lending a hand in the operating theatre for a decade, and some scientists estimate they'll be able to handle surgery independently by 2050.
Police?
Nothing's more ludicrous than the idea of robot police officers, correct? We all saw the movie and the whole dead or alive you're coming with me schtick. But in the real world we need flesh and blood police. Don't we? DON'T WE?
You know the pattern here. Robocop was no movie.
In 2017, Dubai launched a robot copper and claimed it wanted 25% of its force to be automated by 2030. Dubai's Robo PC is multilingual, it lets residents report low-level offences and pay their traffic fines. It even shakes hands and salutes.
Police here have been using automatons to dismantle bombs and search buildings for years. In California, an egg shaped police robot was first released in 2018 to patrol the city's streets, alleys and parks to search for troubling behaviour and feed live video back to HQ.
None of these bots resemble the 80s movie hero, but as a sign of things to come it's telling.
Emergency workers generally can't escape the thought that robots might step in. The driving part (driverless cars), the front line stuff (robocop), the risk-analysis, report-writing, and scrutinising evidence (feels a lot like AI work), the intricate tasks (surgery, bomb disposal robots). It's not so far-fetched …
Actors?
This profession is surely safe. After all, no artificial being can show emotion like a human. Do you want the truth?
Sigh. You can't handle the truth.
Actors aren't safe either. No one's saying robots are about to be cast over humans in live action movies, but with software anything's possible. If given the choice, would movie makers opt for the expensive A-lister when there's pixels and code on standby?
Hollywood has already used computers to cheat death and build live action scenes from scratch. Brandon Lee, Carrie Fisher and Oliver Reed all passed away while filming movies, but AI and clever code were able to step in and finish the job, so to speak.
In computer game land through the 2000s, the race was on to bridge what was called the uncanny valley, to make digital-only characters look and feel as real as possible. Graphics are there now.
Some two years ago, a purely AI creation called Lil Miquela – a digital model/ actor – was released into the world and her Instagram (yes, the robot's Instagram) blew up with 1.7 million followers. She's not entirely human, but she is bloomin' life-like. "She" has even written for Vogue.
Is the movie-going public prepared to get behind fake icons? It seems so.
CEOs
If ever there was a job that's safe it's the CEO.
CEOs are personalities, they're leaders. They're accountable for hundreds, thousands of staff. They're figureheads for companies. They make the right and tough decisions. They steer the ship. Robots can't do that. No, robots definitely can't do that. They can't.
Oh, what – they can?
As quoted in an article entitled Experts Are Starting to Agree that AI Will Replace CEOs, Alibaba's Jack Ma said
"The Time Magazine cover for the best CEO of the year will (in 30 years) very likely be a robot. It remembers better than you, it counts faster than you, and it won't be angry with competitors."
If the role of CEO is an amalgamation of process jobs, analysis and decision-making, personality management and (in an ideal world) reporting the truth, none of those are exclusively human. Not any more. The relationship-management side of the CEO feels much more exclusive to humans, but – like driverless cars – let's say there's a tipping point where most or all CEOs are actually software programs and the world's golf courses may just take a hit.
Singularly or as a package of tools, machines – or more accurately AI and machine learning software – have more than enough chops to handle the day-to-day tasks of the CEO. And if it's not already, chances are the technology will quickly get there. If a robot can handle surgery, it can handle the numbers for the board meeting.
Should we be worried?
On a long enough timeline AI and automation will change the jobs market beyond anything we can envision or comprehend today. Think what life looked like 20 years ago and imagine where it could go in the next 20.
Many argue for AI as a good thing, ready to take over menial and process-driven jobs, leaving humans to do what we do best: create and laugh and live and love. It's a nice idea.
In preparation for the day when there are fewer jobs, some countries – notably Finland – trialled giving a sample of the population a basic living wage. A wage just because … unattached to any job or job-seeking obligations.
If you want to know how safe your job is then please throw it into the machine at https://willrobotstakemyjob.com/.
We should warn you, this machine is probably a piece of AI so it'll no doubt give you a pleasing answer as it and its buddies plot the downfall of the UK jobs market.
There's a screenplay in that idea but unfortunately a robot already wrote it. Drat.

After months of redesigning the current format of the Northwest ISD website, the district's online home is visibly updated to match its physical growth. On July 1, Northwest ISD's new website went live for the first time.
82% of parents find teacher websites provide adequate information about learning and activities.
98% of parents have Internet at home.
93% feel the website is a valuable communication tool for notifying parents of emergencies.
After establishing a committee comprised of administrators, staff, parents, and community members in March of 2016, the process of the redesign began. Northwest ISD campus webmasters and technology liaisons were trained and prepared for the website data migration from the old site to the new that began in April. Teachers and staff began to update their information, and their web pages were established as all data had been moved to the new site.
The home page and the color coded tabs makes it accessible for parents, students, staff, and community members to be able to choose how the site would be more beneficial to them and how they navigate through the web page. This also brings the user to the popular links tab for each specific community as well. For example, a parent of a Northwest student could easily access the school closings information through the popular links on the 'Parents' tab.
Another new facet to the district's new look is the 'Community' dashboard located on the home page. This opens up to demographic information, the partners in education the district pairs with, and various other facts and figures pertinent to the community, such as the PTA Council, the Gold Card Program, and bond updates.
Perhaps the most requested and important change to the site migration is the creation of brand new campus websites. Each individual campus now has their own place on the district's website, accessible by the drop down mega-menu toolbar on the home page. The campus pages provide up-to-date information specific to each campus, such as upcoming events and important news, with a featured section for district news on the home page.
In order to ease the transition into the new website, the district is offering Website Wednesdays through the months of July and August as a way to familiarize staff and faculty with their new online surroundings. With over 2.5 million visits to the district website in the past year, the new online presence is an excellent complement to the area's budding community.
The communications department is now working on a new mobile app that mirrors the progression of the desktop site. The redesigned mobile app will be available on Apple and Android devices early this fall.

Systematic attacks, sabotage-and-subversion activity of the terrorists indicate that the militants' target is the complete destruction of the infrastructure of Donbass. Russian mercenaries systematically fired industrial plants, public facilities, residential buildings, bridges, destroying the productive capacities of the region. Such actions are aimed at creating in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions "humanitarian catastrophe."
As of today, all enterprises of coke and chemical industry are stopped in Donbass due to fighting actions of terrorists and Russian mercenaries in the ATO area. Lugansk and Debal'tsevo railway department road, Yasinovatskiy, Ilovajskij railway junctions stopped after the destruction of communications. Stations in Donetsk, Luhansk, Debaltseve, Ilovaisk do not send trains.

As a result of terrorists fighting in Stanichno-Luhansk district there was damaged the main gas pipeline, which provided the supply of natural gas from Olginskaya fields to the towns of the region. As a result, without gas supply remained about 15 thousand people in the region.
In Mariupol soldiers of volunteer battalion "Azov" detained the organizer of subversive groups, who financed the terrorists.
The Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in the Luhansk region has established cooperation with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The operational information is provided in real-time mode, regarding the location and displacement of military equipment and living forces of terrorists. As a result during the last week we managed to avoid the losses of our military and also to destroy a large number of disguised terrorists' vehicles.
On August 26th the Ministry of Defence of Poland sent into Ukraine a first shipment of humanitarian aid to be delivered to the military by the end of August. The Polish Ministry reminded that in general it planned to send into Ukraine about 320 tons of humanitarian aid, including food items with extended shelf life, mattresses, blankets and bedding. The cargo is to be delivered to one of the military bases near the city of Lviv. The transfer of assistance is provided according to the agreements of 14 August between Polish and Ukrainian Ministries of Defence.

Military operations in the zone of conflict
Information regarding the situation in the southern districts of Novoazovsk-Mariupol area. After yesterday's fighting Ukrainian security forces gained a foothold on the eastern boundary of village Bezimenne. Novoazovsk-Mariupol road is under our control. Mobile mixed groups of soldiers, policemen and guards set up posts on the most dangerous routes of the probable enemy movement in the area of Mariupol. The town of Novoazovsk is shelled both from the Russian territory and from the occupied positions on the Ukrainian territory. However, the town remains under the control of our forces.

In legal documents the old-fashioned outside toilets used to be referred to as 'necessary houses'. In Warmington some of these are still standing and in use, though not for their original purpose. One such is at Grove Farm. This little redbrick shed near the right-hand garden wall behind the house still sports its original three-seater – two adult and one child size – obviously a family arrangement!
Agdon House has a similar red brick structure with a tin roof. It is neatly fitted flush into the property-dividing wall in the right hand bottom corner of the garden, the back jutting out of the wall on the neighbour's side. Inside the two-seater board is still in place, just as it used to be before the 'luxury' of bathrooms and toilets inside dwellings.
The privy at Bachelor's Cottage is built of stone, its walls 18 inches thick. The tin roof and wooden door lintel look like they are still the originals. Some of the stone work has been pointed with cement in later years, though it appears that the original walling had no mortar showing on the outside of it at all. The toilet seat has been removed, the space having been promoted to storage and tool shed.
The present owner explained why there was usually some firewood kept close to the privy: Ladies used to feel uncomfortable being seen going to the necessary house, and preferred to disguise the purpose of their trips down the garden by reappearing with a piece of wood for the fire.
The outside privy of Mistletoe Cottage was demolished when it was bought in 1973. The photo below dates back to 1928 and shows Esther Castle with her granddaughter Ursula Castle. The privy had had a major make-over when Charlie Castle had bought The Cottage (now Mistletoe Cottage) in 1923. Things like a new roof, floor, window and a coat of paint inside had made it as presentable as possible, not to mention the little pictures and texts Edith, his wife, would pin up inside to ponder upon.
In those days the closet, as it was called, was emptied regularly once a year. The tool used was a scoop fitted with a very long handle, with which the contents would be ladled out into a barrow and wheeled to the garden or allotment. There it was put into trenches and dug into the soil as fertiliser.
It took many trips to complete the task – not a very pleasant or popular one! Pictured is Bernard Castle with his father's closet scoop, used from the 1920s up to the late 40s.

The previously developed voltammetric method using a strongly alkaline electrolyte (6 M KOH + 1 M LiOH) as the supporting electrolyte was applied for simultaneous determination of copper corrosion products, including the oxides and patinas. The reduction peaks of these chemical species could be separated in the electrolyte. When the method was applied to samples with patina, the fast exchange reaction presumably occurred between SO42- or CO32- ions in patinas and OH- ions in the electrolyte, so that the reduction peak of patina could be observed at potentials close to that of Cu(OH)2.

Vancouver to Jasper by train: The Canadian Rockies on a budget with VIA Rail
Travelling from Vancouver to Jasper by train – a trip thorough the Canadian Rockies on board VIA Rail's The Canadian, the overnight rail journey that's a budget alternative to the Rocky Mountaineer.

Travelling from Vancouver to Jasper by train past mountain peaks, forests and crystal clear lakes, the Rocky Mountaineer is quite rightly ranked as one of the most epic – and luxurious – rail journeys in the world. It's been top of my train travel wishlist for years.
But this is a bucket list tick that will cost you. With prices from $1247 CAD (£730/US$985) for a two-day/one-night rail trip from Vancouver to Jasper it's out of reach for many.
But the Rocky Mountaineer isn't the only way to see the Canadian Rockies by rail – you can also experience the same scenery for under $150 CAD on an overnight trip from Vancouver to Jasper by train on board VIA Rail's The Canadian. But how does it compare?
Vancouver to Jasper on the VIA Rail overnight train
The Canadian
How long does it take to travel from Vancouver to Jasper by train?
The Canadian train service runs right across Canada from Vancouver to Toronto, and takes five days to do the whole journey. The stretch from Vancouver to Jasper is around 19 hours, and you gain an hour along the way as the clocks go forward when you cross into Alberta.
The train normally leaves Vancouver's Pacific Central Station at 3pm and arrives into Jasper at 11am the next day, though the timetable can change depending on the season.
That's the theory, but in reality the route is prone to delays. The Canadian shares the line with freight trains, and they take priority so it often has to wait – they can be up to a whopping three miles long so one train can take 20 to 40 minutes to pass.
VIA Rail advise you not to book onward travel or activities the day your train arrives in case there are any delays. Though having prepared ourselves to be late we actually arrived into Jasper almost an hour ahead of schedule, so you never know.
Views through the Rockies
What's the difference between the Rocky Mountaineer and the VIA Rail train?
Both The Canadian and the Rocky Mountaineer's 'Journey through the Clouds' route take one night to travel from Vancouver to Jasper, but the Rocky Mountaineer doesn't travel during the night so the trip takes longer – instead guests stay the night in a hotel.
The Rocky Mountaineer leaves Vancouver at 7.30am and arrives into Kamloops around 6.30pm where you disembark for the night. Then the next morning the train leaves Kamloops at 7.30am and arrives into Jasper around 8pm. So although you don't sleep on board the Rocky Mountaineer, it does mean you get to see all the scenery in daylight.
Vancouver's Granville Island
The Rocky Mountaineer has two different classes – Silver Leaf and Gold Leaf – but both are pretty luxurious. Breakfast and lunch are served on board the train with snacks and drinks also included. There are guest hosts to tell you about the history and scenery along the way, a glass dome observation lounge and an outdoor viewing area.
There is a premium cost though, with a standard Vancouver to Jasper overnight package from $1247 CAD (£730/US$985) in Silver Leaf and $1705 CAD (£1000/US$1345) in Gold Leaf per person for two travelling together. The Rocky Mountaineer is popular with international visitors whereas The Canadian has a mix of Canadian and overseas travellers.
The Canadian on the rails
What are the classes of travel on VIA Rail trains from Vancouver to Jasper?
There are three main classes of travel on board The Canadian. The most basic is economy where you just get a reclining seat to sleep in. There are toilets at the end of the carriages but no showers, and you can buy meals and drinks from the dining car.
A step up is Sleeper Plus class, with meals included. This is most popular and makes up the bulk of the train. There are three different sleeper options – cheapest are upper/ lower berths (aka sections). Pairs of seats face each other by day and turn into bunks at night.
The sections aren't closed off so people can walk past but there's a thick curtain which gives some privacy, and you pay less for the upper bunk because they don't have a window. There are toilets and showers at the end of the carriage, with towels, soap and shampoo provided, but no plug sockets so you need to go to the lounge to top up.
Arriving into Jasper
The other two options are more secure, lockable compartments. Cabins for one have an armchair with a toilet hidden under the leg rest and a washbasin. The bed folds down on top of the toilet though so you'll probably want to use the bathrooms at the end of the carriage at night. Cabins for two have two armchairs which fold down so bunks can be set up, a sink and small en-suite toilet. Families can also book connecting cabins.
The most luxurious option on board The Canadian is Prestige Class. These cabins have soundproofed bedrooms with a double bed, en-suite toilet and shower, flat-screen TV and mini-bar. Meals are included for Sleeper Plus and Prestige Class passengers, with a restaurant car and skyline dome car where there are talks and wine tastings.
Sleeper Plus passengers also get limited access to the Park car at the back of the train with views back along the tracks from the bullet lounge, dome seating area and bar – though in peak season it's available to Prestige Class passengers only from 6am to 4pm.

How much does it cost to travel from Vancouver to Jasper by train?
Prices vary slightly depending on the season – June to October is peak season so tickets are more expensive. A basic economy seat on The Canadian from Vancouver to Jasper starts at $148 CAD (£87/US$117) – we paid $160 CAD (£94/US$126) per person in August.
Then it's a big jump in price to Sleeper Plus class, where meals are included. Cheapest are the sections, where an upper bunk starts from $497 CAD (£291/US$391) or a lower bunk $585 CAD (£343/US$460). Cabins are more expensive, with a cabin for one starting at $799 CAD (£468/US$629) and a cabin for two from $1598 CAD (£936/US$1258).
Then the luxurious Prestige Class cabins are well into Rocky Mountaineer price territory, starting from $3776 CAD (£2211/US$2973) for two people. The cost clearly doesn't put people off though as the Prestige Class cabins book up way in advance, and I was only able to find availability for them on a handful of dates.
Early morning views
What are VIA Rail economy sleeper seats like?
With three of us travelling to the Canadian Rockies by rail in peak season, it was a choice between spending £925 on the cheapest beds or roughing it on a seat for £282. As it was just one night we went for the budget option – but I probably would've chosen differently if I was doing the whole five-day trip from Vancouver to Toronto by train.
Economy carriages are at the front of the train, and have seats which recline to around 40 degrees, plenty of legroom and a fold-out footrest. Each seat has a fold-down table and power socket, and you don't get pillows or blankets provided but can buy them in the on-board shop. Most seats are in pairs with a few sets of four seats facing each other.
The economy sleeper seats
Groups of three or more were invited to board the train first and we were encouraged to sit in the four seats, and although they'd be good for families with kids, there's much more limited leg room for adults so we went for two pairs of seats instead.
The economy section has a dining car with tables at one end and a lounge the other and a skyline dome set up above the kitchen. So even the budget seats get an observation dome where you can soak up the views, and it wasn't too hard to get a seat up there.
But how easy was it to sleep on board the Canadian? Well the lights don't go off in the carriage totally so it's a good idea to pack a sleep mask and ear plugs to cut out the train noise, and seats are a bit solid so it was more a case of dozing than a full night's sleep.
Looking out over Jasper National Park
What do you do with your luggage?
Economy passengers can take a carry on bag (max size 43cm x 15cm x 33cm) and either one large suitcase or two small ones on board with them, and there are luggage racks in the carriages. Sleeper Plus/Prestige passengers are more limited because of the size of the cabins, with one carry on bag per person and up to two small bags (max size 54.5cm x 39.5cm x 23cm) per cabin. Passengers can also check in up to two bags per person.
Our bags were taken off us at Vancouver's Pacific Central Station, tagged to Jasper and unloaded the other end. We kept our hand luggage with any valuables on us as well as basic toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, face wipes and deodorant), books, snacks and water.
There's no wifi on board but you do get mobile signal some of the way. And it's not easy to get changed in the economy bathrooms so we wore something comfy to sleep in.
Views from the train
Can you get food on board VIA Rail trains?
For guests in Sleeper Plus and Prestige Class cabins, all your food is included on board. Breakfast is served on a first come, first served basis but you choose a time slot for dinner in advance when you check in (either early, normal or late). You often have to share a table so it's a good way to get to know your fellow passengers.
Meals are cooked in the on board kitchen with a soup or salad starter, choice of main course and dessert. Alcohol isn't included except in Prestige Class. Down in economy the food is a bit less gourmet, though there's a choice of snacks and meals you can buy. I'm gluten-free which cut my options down, but my salmon with rice and vegetables was pretty tasty.
You can also buy mini bottles of local red and white wine and beer from the dining car, though it's not like European trains where you can bring your own, and you're only supposed to drink them in the lounge and not at your seat (though they let us off.)
Food in economy
What's the scenery like on the Canadian Rockies train?
I loaded up my Kindle with books and my laptop with films for the journey but ended up spending most of my time staring out of the window instead. Travelling from Vancouver to Jasper by train is a procession of stunning views, especially on the last morning in the Rockies, so it's worth waking up early to make the most of it.
Look out for the cascading Pyramid Falls, the Rockies' tallest peak Mount Robson, and the Yellowhead Pass, a Continental Divide where the rivers change direction. You might see some wildlife along the way too – I saw a deer alongside the tracks at sunrise. The best views are from the observation carriage as it's up a bit higher with a curved glass roof.
Though all that glass does mean a lot of reflections so taking photos is a bit of a challenge. There are tons of trees too, so if you're serious about your photos it's probably best to travel in winter when there are less leaves – with the bonus of it being cheaper too.

Thanks for sharing! Sounds amazing. Do you know how far in advance you would need to book if travelling May/June. Thank you.

Hi, I would book at least a couple of months in advance if you can, particularly if you're looking to reserve a cabin.

My wife and I rode the rails in comfort on Prestige Class. Truly wonderful experience. The rail cars are beautifully restored and very comfortable. Food was great, service was superb. Do it now before these wonderful old trainsets are retired. Its like going back in time. These railcars have been in service since they were new in the 1050s. Now restored and improved to modern standards. Go ahead- spend your kids inheritance.
Definitely one for my next trip!

Hi, what is the price for two one way from Vancouver to Jasper alta
Hi, the prices for a return are just the same as two single fares.

Really enjoyed your blog. My wife and I traveled to Vancouver from Toronto, mid October. Wonderful experience, but next time we might get two adjacent single rooms vs one bedroom. Service was First Class. Great fellow travelers.

I really would love to do this trip by Via Rail as it is cheaper than the Rocky Mountaineer.
My only concern is that as the trip is overnight with Via Rail that I would miss seeing lots of the scenery.
Thursday 12th of December 2019
Yes that is the only disadvantage – though we did still see a lot of spectacular scenery as much of the Rockies portion of the trip was in daylight, being in summer helps as it doesn't get dark until almost 10pm and is light around 5.30am.


Screwfix has announced a successful launch of its store opening, the 4th store to open in Coventry. The store in Henley Industrial Park, officially opened its doors on March 7 2019 with hundreds of eager customers ready to stock up on the latest tools and trade essentials. On the same day, the company opened a new store in Helston Business Park, Clodgey Lane, Cornwall as well as a new store in Doulas on the Isle of Man.
This is part of the company's growing network of over 620 stores nationwide, meaning 97% of the UK population are within a 30-minute drive of a store. Since Screwfix opening its 600th store in September – a major milestone for the UK retailer which has added 100 new stores to its network in the past 18 months, the rapid pace of store openings has only continued, suggesting major growth in the company, with a new store opening in Flint just last month.

5 Risks To Take For God Today
by Pamela Rose Williams · Print · Email
How much do you trust the Lord? Do you trust Him enough to walk completely by faith? Walking by faith takes an element of risk. It's true! When we walk by faith we risk our earthly comfort and reliability and trust that the Lord will provide for everything – even outside of our comfort zone. The Bible is rich in historical accounts of the risks that can be taken for God.
See how you relate to these five risks that you can take for God today.
The Bible is rich in historical accounts of the risks that can be taken for God.
Go to a strange land for God
By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. (Hebrews 11:8)
Abraham believed and trusted God when he risked it all and took his family to a strange land. He did not question the Almighty, he simply packed up his family and went – even without knowing where he was going. Now that is a risk! Some call it blind faith and perhaps that is why Paul reminds us that if we saw where we were going we would not go there (2 Corinthians 5:7).
It was early in our walk with the Lord that he called my husband and I to fulltime service for Him. We did not know what God's plan in our life was but we knew He had a plan and as we walked by faith He continually showed us bits and pieces of His perfect plan for us. We have taken risks and moved all over the country as God called us and provided for us. Do you feel that tug at your heart? Is it time for you to take the risk and go where God is calling you to go? Don't quench the Holy Spirit, listen to Him when He prompts you to take the risk to leave your comfort zone and serve in His mission. And that does not always mean you need to go far away; you never know, your mission might be in your own home town.
Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. (Ecclesiastes 11:1-3)
How many times have you had the opportunity to feed someone and ignored it? Think about that man who is slouched down on the ground in dirty clothes, holding a small brown paper bag with some sort of drink in it. His hair is filthy and disheveled. His beard is out of control and his fingernails are crusted with dirt. Yes, it can be disgusting to behold such a "bum". Have you considered that he is so busy drinking his meals that he has not had food for a couple or maybe even three days? Jesus said "for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;" (Matthew 25:35)
Consider choosing a couple things off of the dollar menu at a popular fast food restaurant and sharing these with that hungry man. But don't stop at providing the physical food that he needs, share the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ with him too. For Jesus also said "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst…." (John 6:35). Give him a Bible he probably has lots of time to read.

Share Your Money with Those in Need
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. (Ephesians 4:28)
It is very risky to give money to others, especially when you do not know if someone is truly needy. In his letter to the Ephesians Paul was admonishing the believers to live in harmony and to help one another. One way to do that was to earn an honest day's wages by working with their own hands. The Bible does not support the idea that the government should provide for the people's needs, instead it encourages people to take care of their own families first and then for the church to help those in need (1 Timothy 5:3-4). As the church, we should know each member well enough that when someone is truly in need we will never feel it "risky" to share our money with them. Encourage those that are able to work to work. Bless those that are not able to work with the fruit of your labor.
Serve God Even in Difficult Circumstances
And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. (Acts 16:16-17)
Shortly after Paul arrived in Derbe and Lystra where he was given Timothy as a disciple, he and Silas departed to Macedonia to come upon time of testing in their ministry. It was a woman who was fortune teller who was making trouble for many days. Even so, they continued to serve the Lord and preach the gospel. Paul called the evil spirit out of the woman and this made her masters very angry because they knew without her soothsaying abilities they would lose much money. So they reported Paul and Silas to the authorities, saying they were making much trouble. Paul and Silas were beaten and thrown into prison.
While in prison Paul and Silas praised the Lord and sang songs to Him. They were miraculously released from prison and this miracle caused the prison keeper to seek his own salvation – he was saved as well as everyone else in his house. Paul and Silas spent the night in the prison keeper's house and in the morning the magistrate ordered that Paul and Silas be privately released. This did not set well with Paul and he took a great risk of being imprisoned again when he wanted a "public" release. He wanted everyone who witnessed the false imprisonment to witness the release as well.
Paul encourages us never to be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ (Romans 1:16). It was because of Paul and Silas's faith that the prison keeper and his family were saved. Paul and Silas risked it all when they began to sing praises to the Lord. They were not afraid to continually praise the Lord, even in the most difficult circumstance.
Deny Yourself and Follow the Lord
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. (Hebrews 11:24-26)
When Moses was a baby God saved him from certain death by providing a basket in which his mother placed him to float upon the river. He was rescued from the river by the daughter of the Pharaoh. He was then raised as an Egyptian rather than in the Hebrew family to which he was born. He was essentially a prince of Egypt.
One day Moses witnessed the brutal beating of a Hebrew slave by the Egyptian taskmaster. Moses became so enraged by the attack that he killed the taskmaster. In fear for his own life, Moses fled his Egyptian home to live in exile in the desert. It was there that he met the great and Almighty God. He was called to lead the Jews out of Egypt to the Promised Land. He gave up great earthly treasures to follow the Lord. He risked his own safety to rescue the Hebrew people. He risked it all because he believed that the Lord God would deliver him and his people from the hands of the Egyptians.
What is holding you back? Is God calling you to take a risk for Him? Will you go when He says go? Will you feed those who need food? Can you take from your abundance and give to those who really need it? Do you have the courage to proclaim the name of Jesus even in difficult circumstances? Do you believe that when you risk it all God will deliver you and provide for your every need? I pray that you consider the risk and be not afraid to take it. Trust God, you can overcome because He overcame.

Q: The most neat way to remove all but the last element with the same key from a sorted std::vector? I have a vector of structures {key; value}, sorted by key:
{ {0, 1}, {0, 2}, {1, 1}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 1}, {2, 2} }
I need to erase all but the last elements with the same key. The result should be:
{ {0, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 2} }
What is the most neat way to do this? Which STL algorithms can I use? Apparently, this task doesn't fit remove-erase idiom.

A: A naive but efficient solution is to iterate over the vector, copying the relevant elements into a new vector.
An alternative is to use std::unique (with an appropriate predicate).  As you want to preserve the last element in each group, you'd need to use a reverse iterator.

A: I words, the algorithm needed would be:

*

*iterate the container backwards

*if you encoutner a new key, leave the element,

*if you encoutner a key you already had, remove the element.

in code:
#include <vector>
#include <iostream>
#include <algorithm>

struct S { int key; int value; };

int main() {
  std::vector<S> vec{ {0, 1}, {0, 2}, {1, 1}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 1}, {2, 2} };

  auto lastKey = std::numeric_limits<int>::max();
  auto rLast = std::remove_if(vec.rbegin(), vec.rend(), [&lastKey](S const& s) -> bool {
    if (s.key == lastKey) return true;
    lastKey = s.key;
    return false;
  });
  vec.erase(begin(vec),rLast.base());

  for (auto& s : vec) {
    std::cout << '{' << s.key << ',' << s.value << '}';
  }
}

Or using std::unique as recommended in the other answer:
auto rLast = std::unique(vec.rbegin(), vec.rend() [](S const& s1, S const& s2) {
  return s1.key == s2.key;
});
vec.erase(vec.begin(), rLast.base());

A: If you use an std::map the problem just disappears:
std::map<int, int> theMap;
// insert the elements of { {0, 1}, {0, 2}, {1, 1}, {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 1}, {2, 2} }
theMap[0] = 1;
theMap[0] = 2;
theMap[1] = 1;
theMap[1] = 2;
theMap[1] = 3;
theMap[2] = 1;
theMap[2] = 2;
// result: { {0, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 2} }

For fear of seeming short-sighted, most of the big-bank heavyweights give their market predictions and portfolio weighting recommendations on the order of years.
For instance, a top Morgan Stanley strategist suggested investors should consider getting out of the consumer discretionary sector completely (and not return to it for many years).
Do you know how much will change between now and 2021… let alone 2026?! Anything and everything will change between now and then! And that's why I think the big-bank analysts' long-view advice is practically worthless.
After the "worst January ever," stocks bottomed and began to climb higher on February 11, 2016.
But guess what the big-bank analysts were saying on that day?
The market didn't head even a dollar lower, and now U.S. stock indices are up between 50% (S&P 500) and 82% (Nasdaq 100) – even despite last fall's sell-off.
So far, it hasn't. And oil prices are up more than 50% since this analyst's bearish comments marked the low in crude.
That's a special breed of cryptic, not-so-actionable advice (to put it nicely)! And would you believe that instead of seeing the negative interest rates PIMCO was warning about, the 10-year Treasury rate is up 40%?!
Successful investing requires a good deal of humility. You've got to know what you don't know. And you've got to be willing to change your mind, and your investment positions, without stubbornness or ego.
Look, I'm happy to admit that I have no clue how things will change over the next several years. That's why I generally ignore the so-called advice of the big-bank analysts.
And it's why I take a rather agnostic, short-term view of the market's sectors as they rotate in and out of favor.
That's what my Cycle 9 Alert service is all about – finding stocks and sectors that are statistically likely to outperform the broad market over the next two to three months; nothing more, nothing less.
Later that year, as many worried about a "summer slowdown," I recommended two consumer staples sector plays for eventual profits of 56% and 80%. And recommendations on the semiconductor sector for profits of 106% and 116%.
In early 2017, as the big-bank analysts swamped readers with fear over a wave of elections in Europe, I recommended a play on a European stock ETF, which handed us a profit of up to 213% less than three months later.
And 430% profits on a consumer staples stock play.
As you can see, I have no problem making "active bets" on the market's wide range of sectors and industry groups – much as the big-bank analysts have no problem prognosticating what the (too-distant) future will hold for them.
Instead of committing my capital to these analysts' fuzzy, long-run forecasts, I've found it's far more profitable to operate on a two- to three-month basis. This allows us to stay nimble, adapt to changing market conditions and capture each sector's strongest move.


Several flight attendants are suing Russian airline Aeroflot for discrimination, the Svoboda radio station reported Tuesday. The flight attendants allege the company demoted them for their age and size.
In June last year, all female flight attendants were photographed, measured and weighed by the airline – supposedly to have new uniforms ordered, one demoted flight attendant said. The women subsequently discovered that only "thin and young" flight attendants would be assigned to work on international flights.
When Magurina questioned the move, she was told the airline had introduced new regulations. "I was [told I was] taken off international flights because of my clothing size – my size now has to be smaller than 46 [international M, U.S. size 12], and mine was 48," she said.
Several other flight attendants told Svoboda similar stories, saying that they were forced to work fewer hours and get smaller bonuses. The women have already filed complaints to the prosecutor's office and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Aeroflot did not respond to Svoboda's request for comment.

Today, PCAST is releasing its analysis via a new report, Big Data: A Technological Perspective, which details the technical aspects of big data and privacy. The ubiquity of computing and electronic communication technologies has led to the exponential growth of data from both digital and analog sources. New technical abilities to gather, analyze, disseminate, and preserve vast quantities of data raise new concerns about the nature of privacy and the means by which individual privacy might be compromised or protected.
Earlier this year, President Obama asked his counselor John Podesta to lead a comprehensive review of policy issues at the intersection of big data and privacy. As a contribution to that review, he asked his Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) to examine current and likely future capabilities of key technologies, both those associated with the collection, analysis, and use of big data and those that can help to preserve privacy. Over the past 90 days, we have reviewed the technical literature, consulted with additional experts whose research or product-development activity focuses on the key technologies, engaged complementary perspectives from social science and the law to help put our technical insights into perspective, and deliberated over what we were learning.
This report begins by exploring the changing nature of privacy as computing technology has advanced and big data has come to the forefront. It proceeds by identifying the sources of these data, the utility of these data — including new data analytics enabled by data mining and data fusion — and the privacy challenges big data poses in a world where technologies for re-identification often outpace privacy-preserving de-identification capabilities, and where it is increasingly hard to identify privacy-sensitive information at the time of its collection.
Policy attention should focus more on the actual uses of big data and less on its collection and analysis.
With coordination and encouragement from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) agencies should strengthen U.S. research in privacy-related technologies and in the relevant areas of social science that inform the successful application of those technologies.
OSTP, together with the appropriate educational institutions and professional societies, should encourage increased education and training opportunities concerning privacy protection, including career paths for professionals.
The United States should take the lead both in the international arena and at home by adopting policies that stimulate the use of practical privacy-protecting technologies that exist today. It can exhibit leadership both by its convening power (for instance, by promoting the creation and adoption of standards) and also by its own procurement practices (such as its own use of privacy-preserving cloud services).
Read the White House report here.
Susan L. Graham and William Press are members of PCAST and co-chairs of the PCAST Big Data and Privacy Working Group.
The PCAST Big Data and Privacy Working Group also includes S. James Gates, Jr., Mark Gorenberg, John Holdren, Eric S. Lander, Craig Mundie, Maxine Savitz, and Eric Schmidt. Marjory S. Blumenthal, Executive Director of PCAST, coordinated the development and contributed to the framing of this report.


This statistic displays the share of digital advertising of total advertising market in selected Nordic countries in 2016. In Denmark, digital advertising accounted for 50 percent of the advertising market in 2016. In Sweden and Norway the share of digital advertising totaled to over 40 percent in each country in the same year. Meanwhile, digital advertising's share of the market in Finland was lower than in other surveyed Nordic countries. The advertising market in the Nordic countries is ongoing a structural change. Most notably, internet advertising has increased its share over the years at the expense of print advertising. Search and mobile internet advertising contribute greatly to the trend. Although the same shift of industry tendencies is visible in all of the surveyed Nordic countries, the print media in Finland still has more dominant role compared to other Nordic countries.

The Hobbit boosts New Zealand film industry
Peter Jackson's two-part fantasy epic The Hobbit helped New Zealand's film industry contribute more than $2.4bn to the country's economy in 2011, according to a new report.
Figures released this week by Statistics New Zealand detail a 4% rise over 2010's headline figure. The Hobbit's importance to the Kiwi economy was highlighted in October 2010 when ministers promised to rewrite the country's labour laws and offer a $25m tax break to the Hollywood studio Warner Bros in order to ensure the Lord of the Rings prequel was shot on the same location as its predecessor.
Gisella Carr, chief executive of locations marketing agency FilmNZ, told the Hollywood Reporter the boost was not just about Jackson's adaptation of JRR Tolkien's childrens' novel. "[It's] everyone in the screen industry playing their part, whether they are working on international or domestic production, or both," she said. "We could never have imagined the scale of these figures a generation ago. It is a testament to our screen entrepreneurs who are converting creative projects into economic headlines."
Big-budget Hollywood films shot wholly or partly in New Zealand in recent years include Avatar, 10,000 BC, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Thirty five productions visited the country in 2011, contributing revenue of more than $563m – up 15% year-on-year. "We are holding our own internationally, the level of revenue is increasing from year to year – despite a global recession and despite the fact that much of the screen industry runs on a project basis with breaks between activities," Carr added. "We are now starting to see trends over time, and what is emerging is a picture of consistent growth and sustainability."
The figures, while encouraging, are still dwarfed by those of the US film industry, which generated $40.8bn in 2011. The world's largest movie-maker is trailed by India, whose burgeoning industry is believed to contribute around $640m to the country's economy. The Chinese film industry was worth about 16 billion yuan ($2.5bn) in 2010. The UK film industry is worth about £4.2bn ($6.7bn) annually.
The Hobbit, which will be screened in two parts, the first arriving in December this year and the second in time for the following festive season, has had a chequered path to production, prompting a steady stream of tabloid stories suggesting a "Hobbit curse". Setbacks include the departure of original director Guillermo del Toro in 2010 after extended delays relating to studio MGM's financial travails, a fire that destroyed a number of vital miniatures, an enormous row with a local New Zealand union which prompted the labour law changes, and Jackson's own hospitalisation last year for surgery to treat a stomach ulcer.
The cast, including Martin Freeman, Andy Serkis, Benedict Cumberbatch, Cate Blanchett, Christopher Lee, Elijah Wood, Martin Freeman, Orlando Bloom, Sir Ian McKellen, Billy Connolly and Stephen Fry, is now complete and the shoot for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey began just over a year ago at Stone Street studios in Miramar, Wellington, and on location around New Zealand.

Jobs that travel are a number of the most coveted, desired and aggressive employment positions on this planet. For many of us travel is often for pleasure, so that we're unlikely to associate travel with arduous labor or torture. However, the ultimate source of travel is a spoken Latin verb trepaliare, to torture," derived from trepalium, a reputation for an instrument of torture. Trepaliare developed into medieval French travailler, which meant to torture or torment," in addition to to endure or labor." Center English borrowed the French verb as travailen with the same sense. But the difficulties of getting from place to place in the Middle Ages, when any journey was an exhausting effort, led medieval speakers of English to apply travailen to making a trip. We nonetheless use the word, though travel is now much easier.

Coffee. Culture. Politics. Because everything is.
Vancouver's Pride Parade
The whole gang went. Well almost the whole gang: BT Mendelbaum marched of course. G. G. Blynn wheeled along, and Jim and Jeem went too.
A selfie with Morgan Oger.
The idea was to join our political leader, and the new premier, John Horgan, in the march. And we did, one way or the other.
Getting there was difficult. The West End was crowded with tens of thousands on the sidewalks and in the streets, making it especially difficult for G. G. Blynn to navigate. "Would ya keep up already!" exclaimed BT Mendlebaum, always helpful.
We finally got to our designated group only after Jeem was questioned by police for jumping over a barricade. And then we waited.... and waited. Our "float" was to join the parade at 12:30, and most of us arrived before noon. We waited, or most party members waited, until 1:20 before they actually took a small step.
Our gang, restless and fading in the heat, wandered off, to rejoin fellow New Democrats later, around the corner and down the street.
Jim's union.
What can we say about the parade? "No bagpipes. That's a problem," according to Mendlebaum. "Marching bands and marching soldiers would be nice" suggested Blynn. "It's not that kind of parade," said Jeem, as he looked up to see some people on a roof top. "Now that's where we should be!" and G. G. Blynn wheeled off to find an elevator.
Ever cool and smiling.
Thousands of people marched, and several hundred thousands more watched, and our new premier received a fantastic response along the entire route.
Hedy Fry, a federal Liberal Party MP, was less well received though highly flamboyant. As usual.
Hedy Fry, MP.
G. G. Blynn never did find an elevator to a rooftop. BT Mendlebaum, our favourite lawyer (disbarred), handed out business cards. While taking photos Jeem backed harmlessly into a cyclist. That didn't go well, and there was more explaining to do with a nice constable from the VPD. Mendlebaum decided to represent her client and we all ended the day down at the station. For about four hours. "It's like going to Emergency," said Blynn.
And almost hidden, and certainly nearly forgotten, the homeless were present too. A reminder of the kind of the world class city we've become.
