Gillian and I enjoyed our stay. Excellent accommodation and food. We enjoyed the very friendly atmosphere. It is so nice to have the personal touch at breakfast.
We would highly recommend others to experience the food and accommodation at this great Dales base. Thank you.
Ideally placed for doing Herriots Way. We were made very welcom. Had everything we needed , comfy bed, shower and cooking facilities. Also access to the cafe to sit in and lovely cakes too. The pub was only five minutes walk away.
I\'d not stayed here for about 18 months following surgery that stopped me mountain biking for a while but the welcome, the cake, the accommodation and of course Swaledale itself is still just as wonderful as ever! I won\'t be leaving it another 18 months, that\'s for sure!
No matter who you are and what you have planned, the Dales Bike Centre is the place for you! Staff is very friendly and welcoming, the rooms and accommodations are clean and comfortable, and you have the most beautiful Dale on your doorstep! And in case you are tired of cake, you\'re only a short walk away from several cosy pubs.
Had a great weekend at the Bike Centre again. In addition to the accommodation being well suited and well priced for our group, the café and bike shop make it ideal for a bunch of mtb-ers. Plus Swaledale is hard to beat!
We visit the Dales annually for a walking trip. The bike centre provides us with great accommodation, perfect facilities, incredible value gor money and a very warm welcome.
As ever the Dales Bike Centre was perfect: incredibly friendly, facilities set up for muddy days in a beautiful area, route ideas and great food (including 24 hour access to cake). Extra touches like the drying room and kitchenette were great.
Whilst hiking Wainwright\'s Coast to Coast trail I decided to stay at DBC because it is located on the trail, and it is served by the Sherpa luggage transfer. The accommodation is comfortable, clean and close to local pubs which serve evening meals (although DBC has a kitchen for self catering). A good breakfast is provided. Highly recommended. I would stay again.
This is our third year at the dales cycle centre, again perfect accommodation and lovely food. Will be booking again in 2019.
The bunkhouse is perfect for people who are seeking some basic comforts after a day in the hills. Very clean, useful small kitchen and good washing facilities. The cafe was fab and Stuart very helpful with route ideas and local tips. We\'ll be back...which bike to take next?!?
Stewart is very friendly and helpful. He has a good local knowledge of the area.The accommodation is basic and clean all you need for a cycling holiday. The breakfast is very good Will be returning.
Enjoyed a fantastic road biking weekend at the Dales Bike Centre, excellent accommodation, wonderful food and drink and great advice from Stuart, we\'ll definitely be back!
I can\'t recommend the DBC highly enough. The accommodation is great, the breakfast is great and Stu is an absolute legend, making time to fix our bikes and get us on our way.
A great place to stay. Very reasonable rates. One of the Yorkshire dales hidden treasures. Clean and tidy, great facilities. Tea and coffee and Milk provided in the communal kitchen. FREE WIFI which actually works!! Fantastic breakfast. 24 hour cake(Literally)!
Great service by all the staff.
Perfect location for a cycling or walking holiday in the Dales.
Excellent 2 night stay. Warm welcome, great breakfast, excellent service in the bike shop & of course amazing cake.
Loveley welcoming stay. Comfortable rooms, great facilities for bikes, excellent riding from the door in a lovely setting with amazing cake. Thanks to Stu, Brenda and all the rest of the team. We will return!
What a great place. Great people, great food. Will be back.
We all had an excellent stay last week. Everyone in the group commented on the quality of the rooms and the choices for breakfast. We also appreciated the friendliness of Stuart. We also do walking weekends away and said that in future we would book again. It is well positioned with easy access into Reeth.
Fantastic weekend Mountain Biking ...enjoyed by all the team.
Couldn't fault the place,loved it.
Very friendly, very comfortable, very well equipped. Good luck with the expansion plans!
Good places to sit and relax and very appreciative of the 24 hour cake access. Great place for kids and adults alike.
We all really loved our stay. Everything was great. Rooms clean and facilities excellent.
The cafe after hours was a really great place to relax and the coffee and cakes delicious.
We appreciated the advice given for our 3 different cycle routes and it was reassuring being able to store our bikes securely at night.
We are already planning another trip next year.
We were walking and found Dales to have great facilities . Large shower room with big bench, space to put your things. Kitchen good. Wide bunk very comfy. Good breakfast and very friendly service. Thanks Stu.
Our two families had a very enjoyable weekend stay. The centre is ideally placed, we cycled one day and walk the other.
The breakfast was outstanding and the tea and cakes after the ride were memorable.
I have stayed at the Dales Bike Centre on several occasions and have so far found nothing to complain about - unusual in this day and age. The concept, I believe, has been well thought out. It is a facility, that at the moment, lies somewhere between the idea of a self catering holiday and a bunkhouse, smarter than a bunkhouse but it's shared facilities such as the kitchen, showers and toilets are reflected in the price.
For me personally, as an activity centre, the Dales Biking Centre is a gem. The staff are lovely and go out of their way to make your stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. Breakfast is a time to meet most of the staff and Stewart, the proprietor, usually engages in a lively, friendly exchange whilst preparing your breakfast - you really are made to feel a member of the family.
Added to this the Dales Centre is set in a particularly beautiful part of our country, the walking and cycling trails are superb and the general ambience of the area is one of respectability and warmth. I will return to the Dales Centre as long as my body can cope with the rigours of mountain biking.
Very friendly and welcoming host on arrival. Rooms bright and basic. Nice to see enviro friendly ground source heating for the water. Tea/ coffee making facilities & a well stocked cafe with honesty box open 24 hours. Bike shop on site where you can rent electric mountain bikes and buy plenty of riding gear. Just 2 minute walk from pub one way and 5-10 min walk to village with 3 pubs t'other way. Would definitely go again ,would even bring my missus due to the quality of the rooms.... and the 24 hour access to buns and cakes!
All was great at the centre with comfortable beds and hot showers.
24 access to cake ,how can you better that !!
Breakfast was just what was needed before each days activity.
Well done to all at Dales centre.
A great place to stop and recharge. We\'ve enjoyed the cafe and bike shop service before but this was the first time we stayed. Comfy bunks, great breakfast and friendly service. We\'ll be back!
A really lovely place to stay, comfortable rooms and lovely breakfast. Stu couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. I will definitely be recommending others to stay here and would absolutely stay again, either with friends or my family.
We used the bike centre as an overnight stop whilst walking coast2coast and we're rather glad we stayed here.
I was cycling from Keswick to Darlington and the centre was ideally placed right on Sustrans route 71. The place is lovely and if you want a base in the Dales I can't recommend it highly enough!
Good bunk rooms with mini kitchen.
Warm, friendly, helpful people with a great cafe.
Nice to relax there after closing time, watch TV and enjoy some (more) cake!
Best of luck with the expansion plan!!
As part of a ten day cycling holiday with seven Swiss friends, we booked Stuart and the Dales bike centre for three day accommodation and two days of guided riding. We cannot give higher praise for Stu and the centre. Great accommodation, great café, well stocked shop, very accommodating people, great guided rides and very friendly folk. Thanks Stu and everybody there! My Swiss pals absolutely loved every minute as did I. We\'ll be back!
Very friendly and relaxed .
Second weekend with Brenda and Stuart and just as good. Great routes, good advice and a confy bunk. All in beautiful Swaledale wherevlife is just that bit slower. Dales Bike Centre is about more than just bikes, it's a meeting place for people who enjoy the outdoors - and cake.
GoodcLuck with your planning application, you deserve to get it.
Stopping through on my coast to coast walk, it was a pleasure to stay at the Dales Bike Centre. Stu was really friendly and all very good quality. Would definitely visit again!
Stayed over for 2 nights for a bit of biking. The welcome from Stu and Brenda was very warm as it was from all the staff. The location is fantastic and the knowledge of Stu and his team is awesome. The accommodation is comfy and clean and so relaxed. I did manage to get a slice of the Friday showstopper cake so was well chuffed. I would highly recommend this place and cant wait to stay again.
I stayed at the Dales Bike Centre Hostel with a group of friends. There was a friendly welcome when I arrived. The bunk room was clean and tidy. The bed was comfortable. After a guided ride (well worth the money) tea and cake at the café was brilliant. The shower facilities were excellent. I have already booked my next visit.
Such a warm welcome by everyone!! Great place to stay with amazing food!! Recomm it without any hesitation !!
Had a great couple of nights in the bunk barn. Everyone at the bike centre is friendly and chatty. The facilities were great too.
I have no doubt i\'ll be returning in the future!
Great place, friendly, clean, accommodating to your needs.
8 of us just returned from a w/e at the Dales Bike Centre. Our 2nd visit, and will be returning next year. Its just a perfect place for any outdoor enthusiast. The bunk rooms are warm, clean and comfy beds. The showers have a good flow and lovely & hot. And a good drying room for wet & soggy gear.Breakfast is included which is filling to set you up for a day out on the fells. The cafe & cakery serves just great food and cakes are to die for.
The staff are always friendly, so helpful and knowledgeable.
Thanks Guys. keep up the good work.
We\'ve had a great holiday - sound bunk accommodation, fantastic cafe providing solid breakfast and wonderful tasty cake goodness for after your ride, run or walk in the dales. We benefited from local knowledge and advice- ensuring we explored the area fully. Great pub knowledge imparted too for evening meals. Thanks.
Great place to stay - clean, tidy and very comfortable. Excellent value for money and lovely breakfast. Nothing was too much trouble for Simon who was very welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended.
We enjoyed another fantastic stay in this our favourite of all dales. Nowhere beats the bike centre for location, facilities, food and welcome! Can\'t speak highly enough of Stuart and Brenda and the staff.
I\'ve organised three trips to the Dales Bike Centre with the West Suffolk Wheelers and every time the whole group goes away raving about just how good this place is. The accommodation is spotless, comfortable and well geared up for active people. The cake is second to none (and the Wheelers know good cake). But what sets this place apart is the friendly, efficient and knowledgeable welcome we get from Stu, Brenda and the rest of the staff. Five stars are not enough.
Excellent experience. The room was clean and tidy with comfortable beds.
The cafe was first class and the staff were really friendly and polite.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Dales Bike Center.
Enjoyable stay with knowledgeable,friendly hosts. After reading previous reviews it came as no surprise.Those yorkshire hills are something else. My legs are still aching.Thanks to all at the dales centre.
Stopped here last time we did the Coast to Coast for some bike maintenance and thought next time we would stay here.We were not disappointed. Our whole experience was excellent.Arrangements for late arrival were simple. The honesty box in the cafe was most welcome - we were desperate for a drink! All the facilities and the breakfast were fantastic value for money, the staff were great and very helpful and our evening meals at the Bridge were top class. Thoroughly recommended.
Dales Bike Centre is a excellent location if you are a road biker and want to tackle the major climbs in the Dales. Accommodation is hostel but you have the benefit of relaxing in the tea room once it has shut for the day.
I stayed here for one night as part of a short cycle tour. It was an excellent place to stay. I paid a bit extra for a room to myself, this was good value, although a small chair in the room would have been handy :-).
I am a regular at the Dales Bike Centre, a great location, excellent friendly and helpful staff, and the accommodation and café are perfect for a biking, hiking or walking weekend away.
I would recommend Dale Bike Centre to my cycle friends and family ,i would certainly stay again.100 percent Satisfaction.
A very special place. Went with my son to celebrate him finishing his course and had three days of amazing cycling. Dales Bike Centre is a prefect place to stay, chilled atmosphere and like minded guests. Hostel accommodation is good with powerful showers and comfortable beds. My first time in the Dales and was blown away by the beauty and the challenging hills.
very good stay and we hope to return.
A lovely set up and we had it all to ourselves. Difficult to fault. Small bunk rooms, each bunk had its own light and the bed was comfortable. Seperate shower, toilet and kitchen facilities. Plus we had access to the cafe to lounge in. Wonderful breakfast and proper coffee! Stu was a lovely host.
It\'s a great setup. Lovely place and very helpful owner.
Simple no frills clean and comfortable accommodation with shared shower and WC.
Use of the cafe to sit as a group in the evening and access to tea, coffee and cake!
Breakfast cooked to order, excellent bacon sandwich.
V friendly and helpful staff.
What a fantastic weekend, beautiful location, very friendly staff, helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent, really nice cake and a good nights sleep. Could not ask for more. We will return to the Dales Bike Centre.
This was the final night of our half of the Coast to Coast walk. We had a great welcome, room and breakfast. Stuart, helpful over everything, filled us in on the history of the Dales field barns. The lady cyclists at breakfast were good fun.
As regular visitors it is good to see the facilities are keeping up the high standards. Great people, accommodation, food, and the best biking in the UK.
This is my 3rd stay at this centre and cannot recommend it enough, excellent facilities,made very welcome. This was a first visit for some of the group and they were very impressed. Looking forward to next year!
Perfect...location, accommodation, food, help & advice. We absolutely loved our time at the centre and will definitely be returning later in the year.
This was my second stay here. The location and facilities are spot on. The centre is clean, has very friendly and helpful staff and the food is great. Its not a 5 star hotel, but it gets 5 stars for what it does. Definitely my preferred choice for the area.
What an excellent place to stay, lovely like minded people chatting about all things to do with bikes & cycling.
Really enjoyed my night there could have stayed longer but had the Yorkshire dales cycle way to ride!
Keep up the good work it\'s a pleasure to stay.
Beds were very comfy and showers were hot, much appreciated after a long day of walking. Breakfast was pleasant (either scrambled eggs on toast or bacon sandwich) but could have been more substantial for what is mostly walking/cycling guests.
What a great stay! Friendly, helpful people and perfect accommodation for a family cycling trip ( if you like hills) . Particularly good cake .
Stu and the team really took care of me. Felt right at home very quickly. What a beautiful way to spend your time in Yorkshire Dales. Would definitely be back one day.
A different year, a different gang of riders, same old Dales Bike Centre excellence. Love the place and the hospitality...we\'ve got to keep coming back!
Stayed at the DBC several times and will definitely be back for more. From Stu\'s evr friendly welcome and advice, the excellent facilities and Brenda and Claire\'s legendary baking everything was top notch. The cycling from the doorstep is fantastic. Thanks for making our all too short stay a great experience.
Have stayed before on many occasions as a couple and with friends and always had a fantastic time. This was no exception thanks to Stu\'s great hospitality and Bren\'s fab cakes!! Very comfortable accommodation with all you need for a cycling stay, including nice places to eat and friendly locals!
It was a well thought out layout. With adequate facilities for even the harshest weather days. The lounge area offered befitting features that complemented both the facility itself & where, like the bedrooms, in keeping with their surroundings.
The heating system was also a clever idea in keeping with sustainability.
Fantastic service. Great atmosphere. Well set up for mountain biking - good route recommendations from Stuart. We will be coming back! Highly recommended - several excellent routes right from the door.
We were a group of 8 adults wanting a night away with activities. Dales Bunkhouse was perfect. Stuart arranged everything for us, tailored to our group\'s mixed abilities. Stayed in bunkhouse 1 night followed by 1 day of guided mountain biking, split into 2 sessions. Accommodation was excellent, much higher standard than expected for a bunkhouse. Mountain biking was brilliant fun, and Stuart was an excellent guide with hands on help for the beginners, and also interesting local info and history. Would definitely recommend.
I booked Dales Bike centre bunk rooms for my guests to stay in after a 50th Birthday party at the Punch Bowl Inn just up the road. Stu was really easy to communicate with via email and everything was arranged in an efficient way. I did not stay at the Bunk house, but my guests all reported back that they loved it. The rooms were clean, bright, warm and had lovely comfy beds. They all loved the breakfast too. I would certainly recommend the Bike Centre as a fantastic place to stay in the middle of the Dales. Thanks so much to everyone for making it a wonderful experience for all my party guests. Hope to see you all soon.
I was party of a group of 8 adults who stayed at The Bike Centre after Christmas. The staff couldn\'t have been more helpful. The rooms were clean, the food great and the guided mountain biking was lots of fun. I would highly recommend The Bike Centre.
Warm and friendly place to stay. Loads of mountain biking and road cycling on your doorstep or walking. Can\'t wait to go back!
Fantastic location and great facilities all topped off by the owner Stu and his team, this was our third visit and I cannot recommend it highly enough!
Great place to stay. Clean rooms and warm. red hot powerful showers. Great café with amazing cakes. And in a great location with walking and cycling from the door. Decent pub nearby. We will be returning again next year. Its already been discussed.
Fantastic! Stuart and Ian and all the staff could not do enough for us, we will definitely be returning.
Thanks to The Dales Cycle Centre.
Enjoyed an overnight stay here this week with two friends . We had great time cycling and the accommodation was really comfortable , clean and welcoming. It was a bonus been able to use the cafe as a lounge during the evening for social and to use the to if we wanted.
Stayed here after day one of a three day 220 miler up the hills and through the dales of Yorkshire. Brilliant place for cyclists to stay with everything a cyclist needs.The best bit is the owner Stuart, he ensures you arrive safely in person or by phone and makes the most amazing breakfast whilst also have a bit banter. This is the place to stay for a cycling holiday as it is the base for some incredible circular routes on the roads - the ride we did from the centre along swaledale, over Lamps Moss to Nateby has to be the most incredible route in the UK. Cheers and already planning a two nighter for a big party next summer.
Simply couldn\'t be better. From the accommodation to the cake to the advice and great atmosphere this has it all. The riding is fantastic, the pubs welcoming and friendly no matter what state you\'re in.
Huge thanks. Back very soon.
Lovely stay. Great place, great welcome from stuart, best cakes ever and goid breakfast too. Excellent vale, thanks.
Our group of three were the only residents the night we were there and it was great to be trusted with access to the wonderful cafe area. Stu was the perfect host, interested in our trip and full of local knowledge and useful information.
We will be back to explore the Dales properly as our trip just touched on it.
Friendly staff , helped us with our routes .
Clean warm good quality accommodation.
As a group it was good to have use of the lounge and kitchenette.
Friendly, knowlegeable welcome.Comfortable, spotless, well-equipped bedroom and great breakfast. Helped me on my 3 day Dales Ride: 7 dales, 116 miles, c.2000m of ascent (hard work!), many exhilarating moments in glorious countryside. Not bad for an 80yr old!
We have stayed at the Dales bike centrea number of times now and we have always been well looked after. The beds are comfortable, the cafe is great and the bike shop always helpful and knowledgeable. The mountain biking is superb with some epic days out available straight from the door.
We stayed there on day two of our three day Yorkshire Dales Cycleway ride.
The centre is in a beautiful location.
The rooms are bright, clean and well appointed. Shower was great.
Breakfast was superb and all the staff were very friendly & accommodating.
Would definitely visit again and recommend to others.
Many thanks to Stu, Bren and all the friendly staff for extending a warm welcome yet again. I have enjoyed their hospitality several times in recent years and can highly recommend the Centre. Nothing is too much trouble and this year they even helped in the search for my lost wallet (eventually found elsewhere!).
Loved this place! Great cafe, very friendly owners and staff, a clean, light room, and great location on the C2C trail. As a bonus, the little pub down the road (the Bridge Inn) was a great place for a meal in the evening. Definitely recommend Dale\'s to others.
We have had another great stay at the hostel - we will come back again - and next time try not to have a last-minute puncture or repair required... but so many thanks for helping us out and making it no big deal. It\'s a fantastic location, everyone friendly and helpful, lovely breakfast after a good night\'s sleep and most delicious cake to take on our way! Not to mention the 24-hour access to cake when you arrive & feel really hungry/greedy. We will all highly recommend you - thank you Dales Bike Centre!
The bunk rooms are everything\'s my you could expect and the service and food is all first class. Excellent trails and friendly chat and advice by the bucket load.
Great stay in such a great place Stuart and family work tirelessly to cater for everyone, always makes time to sort out any little problems with bikes.
Weather was so good which made our stay perfect ! See you in April for the T 20 . . .
Really comfortable night sleep with great facilities - can\'t go wrong with 24hr cake. Lovely breakfast. Friendly and welcoming staff.
Clean and comfortable accommodation with most delicious food/cakes in a lovely adjacent tea room. The owners love what they do, and have made this place a haven for walkers, bikers, and everyone else to enjoy nature and sweeter things in life. Best cakes in UK.
An excellent centre to base yourself at, with trails from the doorstep, helpfull staff and first class food.
Thanks STUART for looking after us on our recent four night stay.
A very helpful and friendly shop and cafe. The accomadation was very clean and comfortable.
Thanks for another top drawer stay.
Thanks Stu and Brenda - great hospitality and a great location. Will be back to see you again soon. Thanks for making us so welcome.
I stayed here for one night while walking the Coast to Coast. It\'s really well placed and has the Bridge Inn nearby for dinner and Reeth close enough as well. It has a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and the 2-man bunkroom was great. All the other facilities were very good too, though I wasn\'t overly impressed with the drying room. Thankfully i didn\'t really need it on this occasion. Breakfast was great. Overall, deserves 5 stars.
Stunning place, friendly efficient service and excellent value, clean fresh bedding, hot shower, bike store, excellent breakfast and damn good coffee, plum flapjack is amazing, highly recommended.
Nice stop on the way \"Coast to coast\". Very quiet, friendly welcome, very good breakfast and not far from the village center.
Comfy rooms, great location and friendly helpful service, would recommend to any cyclists both road and mtb.
I only stayed one night but I should have stayed more ! 24h access to the cakes, which are very good, a lounge/cafe room with TV where you can rest and share moments with the others members of the hostel. Showers and toilet are great, directly got hot water !
I totally recommend it !
Very pleasant surprise, plenty of room, great hosts and the breakfast is excellent.
Superb centre in beautiful location. Clean, secure accommodation, showers bike store, and on site cafe and bike shop. Internet access and wonderful cakes!
Nothing is too much trouble for Stuart, the owner, who will also give lots of useful advice and local knowledge.
We used it as a centre for road cycling, but also excellent centre for mtb.
Had a really nice stay here. Friendly staff, tasty cakes, Giro on the telly, bike shop on hand and secure storage makes for a great cycling base. Comfortable and clean rooms. Would highly recommend. I\'m sure we will return.
What a superb place to stay and visit. All staff could not do enough to help, the accommodation was spot on, food was great and the cakes were something to behold!! Will be visiting again and again.
Our 4th visit to the best hostel in the dales. We had another amazing time and can\'t speak highly enough about the wonderful welcome, the fabulous accommodation, the friendly and helpful people who look after us, the great breakfasts and Brenda\'s cakes which are just fantastic.
We stayed over the Bank Holiday weekend to try and get some road miles in.
Dales Bike Centre is in a lovely location just a few minutes walk from Reeth with 4 pubs within strolling distance.
The centre itself is spot on, clean and very friendly, for the price you cant go wrong. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in the area.
At the end of a long wet day from Kirkby Stephen Dales Bike Barn proved to accommodate every need, even had access to a washing machine at a point where I was becoming socially unacceptable! Owners were helpful, friendly and down to earth. Set me up for the remaining mileage of my walk with a smile in my face. Thanks !!! Ticked every box!
The accommodation is clean and does the job. There was no Wifi in the room but hey, amazing views. They have everything you can possibly need if you are heading out on the bike and also great advice on routes from the experienced staff, if you are new to the area. The cafe has nice food (not just the cakes!) and hot drinks. Overall... we\'ll be coming back!
Excellent breakfast, excellent cake, excellent night\'s sleep and an excellent ride in the sunshine.
I loved staying at Dales Bike Centre. The staff was incredibly nice, the rooms really comfortable and clean, and food was amazing.
Great mid-week stay in a beautiful location. I was the only guest that night but still felt safe and had a quiet stay. Very clean and the free tea was welcomed! Nice chat with Stu over breakfast benefitting from his advice on the countless cycling routes available.
An absolute gem of a place ! Good accomodation , great cafe and a well stocked bike shop . Fantastic staff and a great base for some fantastic bike rides . Highly recommended and i will be definitely be back .
Dales welcomed WVS RR Team for four days this February and could not have been more accommodating.
Six riders were completely at home, with all the amenities we could need for a successful camp.
The accommodation was clean, tidy, spacious and relaxing.
The kitchenette was perfect for meal prep and the shower always hot after a cold day in the Dales.
Breakfast was superb every morning and the staff in the shop helpful with any equipment issues we had.
The drying room and bike lock up are two other very useful things.
The ease of using the cafe in the evening for gathering as a group to sit andeat dinner, review the days ride, plan tomorrows ride and watch TV/cycling clips was just another added bonus to a camp that at some other venues could be more lonely.
Dales Bike Centre & the staff there are perfect and I could not recommend it enough.
WVS RR team will be back, we have spread the word to the rest of the club already and amongst all our other friends.
Thank you for an awesome 4 days!!
We enjoyed a great day of riding led by Stuart. He picked a fantastic route to challenge us, providing us with top tips to help us maximise the fun. The bunk rooms did just the trick to help rest weary legs, whilst the breakfast and magnificent showstopper cake fuelled us just nicely. Back in May for more...can\'t wait.
Dales Bike Centre is a perfect place to base yourself for a Dales adventure; whether biking, hiking, or just enjoying the outdoors. Comfortable non nonsense accommodation, great breakfast and friendly team. The accompanying bike facilities; secure storage, drying room, work shop and bike shop make life much easier for needy mountainbikers.
Warm and friendly place to stay, with great biking on your doorstep and lovely food served in the cafe at the end of a ride. We\'ll be back!!
I\'ve stayed here many times over the years and the welcome is always wonderful. I\'m here for the amazing biking so I want a comfortable room, a hearty breakfast and good local knowledge. And cake. Lots of cake. Stu and Brenda and the team always unfailingly deliver all this and more!
Great accommodation, great food and fantastic trails!
We stayed for a while, hiking and relaxing and enjoyed our stay very much. Lovely coffee shop and good facilities for cyclists and hikers. Good location, close to trails. Efficient management.
Accommodation was clean and functional and the self catering kitchen was handy for a cuppa. The cafe was an excellent provision at the end of a long ride and we were grateful of the on site bike shop when one of use had a tyre blow out. Breakfast was also spot on and I\'m sure that we will be back!
All good. Friendly helpful staff and clean and tidy rooms Bike repairs on site a bonus.. Just make the wifi password a little easier to enter and understand..!
We stayed as a group to race ard Rock enduro and could not have been happier with the service, friendly helpful and pleasant at an extremely busy time for them.
Fantastic accommodation, food and service. We will definitely be back!
Fantastic facility and location for a spot of road and MTB cycling. Rooms were clean and functional and the shower and changing rooms were great. Breakfast was high quality and just what you need before a day on the bike.
A must visit for all cyclists looking for a great stay in the Dales. Excellent clean and practical facilities with a superb cafe / breakfast room providing a superb choice of food.The owner \'Stu\' provided great advise on good cycle routes. I would strongly advise a stay or visit even if you are just passing on a day trip, call in for a coffee and cake !. Outstanding times re the three days and all the staff are friendly and helpful.
Friendly, professional service. Beautiful location and easy to find. Brilliant cycle routes nearby. Staff extremely helpful, polite and accomodating. Would definitely stay again. Breakfast was delicious!
A very welcoming and friendly location. Host Sewart is a great source of information and rooms/breakfast perfect.
An utterly fantastic family run hub for the whole weekend. Advertised as the centre of trails The Dales Bike Centre packs plenty of B&B accommodation, catering, daytime café, twenty-four hour cake access, bike storage, a well equipped bike shop and an endless supply of ride recommendations all under the rooves of two beautifully restored traditional Yorkshire stone buildings. Did I also mention twenty-four cake access?!
Had a really nice weekend stay at the Dales Bike Centre. The accommodation is as described, simple but very clean and comfortable. Stuart and the team could not have been more friendly and accommodating. The breakfast is simple, but nicely done. The cafe is an absolute winner if you like decent coffee (Grumpy Mule) and wonderful home made cakes. They do not do evening meals, but there are no shortages of options in Reeth & Grinton. As guests you get use of the cafe area in the evening and 24hr access to cakes, what\'s not to like?
Great as usual. 4 bunk room for 2 adults and 2 kids. Plenty of space, and plenty comfortable. Great Breakfast and great advice from Stu for a family MTB ride in the valley.
Its not our first time at DBC, we are return visitors to the accomodation and the cafe. Clean spacious bunk rooms, with a well equiped kitchen and hot showers. Great breakfast with quailty ingredients and plenty of coffee. Stu is available for any route suggestions or bike advice. Bren and the team churn out tasty cake and soups etc. 24h cake access is a bonus!
We called in at the Dales Bike Centre recently during a weeks touring in the North of England. All the facilities needed, comfy bunks, good showers, nice breakfast and lounge. Good pubs for evening meal close by in Reeth / Grinton.
Run by cyclists for cyclists !
So happy to have found this gem of a place in the Yorkshire Dales - Britain\'s new home of cycling. 10 of us travelled over from The Netherlands and were treated with warmth, trust and fantastic cakes. All the staff were extremely helpful - providing advice on which routes to take, where to eat out etc. The rooms are suitable and they have great facilities for storing your bikes (and fixing them - they have a shop onsite) and drying your clothes. We cannot recommend this place enough and thank Stuart, Bren, Ian and Josh for making our trip so brilliant! Want to cycle in the Dales and need a place to stay? Go here!

First Round: Aloo gob(i) smacked
No one, and it really does mean no one, enjoys the produce of healthy, fresh, fast-food purveyors Pret a Manger more than First Round. With at least half a dozen of its outlets within striking distance of PEI Towers, on any given lunchtime stroll (assuming hard working hacks have time for lunch, that is) First Round can quinoa, meatball wrap and kale it up with the best of them. Although preferably not at the same time…
And don't even get it started on the new SuperBowls which have recently become a desk-lunch staple. In this case, the gateway drug was the Korean sweet and sour pulled pork bowl … mmmm. In fact the only thing that wipes the smile off First Round's face when thinking about Pret is the hole it leaves in its pocket every month, although the occasional half-filled bircher muesli yogurt or mini-honey pot can also get its back up from time to time …
First Round could go on … So it was with interest and no little intrigue that it read that the Bridgepoint-owned company was mulling over the possibility of launching standalone vegetarian outlets. The group recently polled customers about the possibility of opening veggie stores and has apparently been met with a favourable response.
Last month its chief executive Clive Schlee told The Daily Telegraph that sales of its vegetarian sandwiches and salads had grown 12.5 percent in the last six months – faster than any of its meaty treats. Not only that, but, according to Schlee, falafel and halloumi is now its most popular wrap. (What – selling faster than hot Swedish meatballs??)
First Round has no doubt the firm could make a roaring success of such a venture and the demand would appear to support the move. First Round too would be happy to nail its colours to the veggie Pret mast, in the earnest expectation that pure veggie options might be a little kinder on its wallet. Well best of luck with that…

NHTSA announces expansion of automated vehicle transparency program
Mark Schremmer
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced the expansion of an automated vehicle transparency initiative to a full program during a virtual news conference on Monday, Jan. 11.
As part of the AV TEST (Transparency and Engagement for Safe Testing) Initiative, NHTSA's online traffic tool – which provides data on testing and safety performance of automated driving systems in cities across the country – is now open to all stakeholders. Previously, nine states and nine companies participated in the AV TEST pilot. The expansion will include 52 companies, governments, and associations.
"NHTSA's open and direct relationships with automated technology developers, states and other stakeholders are instrumental to ensuring that these technologies help save lives and prevent injuries on American roadways," said James Owens, NHTSA's deputy administrator. "AV TEST will help participants and the public understand the capabilities and limitations of these technologies, to share best practices, and to promote healthy competition for safer practices and information sharing that the public can review and compare."
FMCSA acting Administrator Wiley Deck said that fully autonomous vehicles are still a ways away. However, he also said the technology has the potential to save lives.
"While we realize that large-scale implementation of automated vehicles is still in the future, innovations continue rapidly," Deck said.
"That technology holds promise to save thousands of lives, and it has potential to help commercial motor vehicle drivers, too. Safely harnessing this technology, however, will need our continued and focused attention."
Among the new participants signed on to participate in the program are self-driving truck companies Embark, Kodiak and TuSimple.
It should be noted that information submitted by the companies is voluntary. The "safety reports" submitted to the program by Kodiak and TuSimple are more reminiscent of marketing brochures than performance data.
The U.S. Department of Transportation's Automated Vehicles Comprehensive Plan focuses on three goals.
Promote collaboration and transparency.
Modernize the regulatory environment.
Prepare the transportation system.
Owens said NHTSA is still a long way from fully regulating automated vehicle technology because the technology itself has not yet been fully developed and that there are no fully autonomous vehicles available to the public at this time. LL

Jack B. Tinsley, a Sam Houston State University graduate and Distinguished Alumni Award winner who directed the Fort Worth Star-Telegram editorial staff to two Pulitzer Prizes, is SHSU's 1998 Fall Commencement speaker.
Ceremonies will be held Saturday, Dec. 19 in the Bernard G. Johnson Coliseum at 10 a.m. for the Colleges of Education and Applied Science and Criminal Justice and 2 p.m. for the Colleges of Business Administration and Arts and Sciences.
Tinsley is a native East Texan (from Angelina County) who became a journalist when he wrote his first bylined sports story on a Royal typewriter at the age of 15.
He graduated from SHSU in 1958 and was presented the Distinguished Alumni Award in 1984.

Spanish fintech Twinco raises €2.5m to make our products more ethical
Supply chain finance is nothing new, but Twinco's pitch is that it can help companies behave more ethically and provide workers, many of which are in Bangladesh, with better conditions.
By Tim Smith in Barcelona 18 December 2019
Serena Williams joins French NFT startup Sorare as board advisor
By Isabel Woodford 20 January 2022
Impact-driven fintech Twinco Capital has raised €2.5m to expand its supply-chain financing business in another sign of the willingness of venture capital funds to back startups with a "tech for good" angle.
Twinco offers affordable loans to factories when they receive a purchase order so they can buy raw materials and pay wages before they actually receive invoices from customers.
Most supply chain financing provides liquidity once the goods have been shipped and the invoice is issued, but Twinco provides money to factories much earlier.
Their pitch is that it can help companies behave more ethically and provide workers, many of which are in Bangladesh, better conditions.
Cofounder Sandra Nolasco says that getting paid later "reduces your capacity to invest in production systems that are more socially responsible", pointing out that factories in Bangladesh receiving Twinco loans have launched initiatives like providing kindergarten for workers' children and free sanitary products.
"The company needs to have the capacity and the margins to invest in those kinds of things, everything that has to do with women-related sanitary health, even things like sanitary pads actually improve the health of the workforce," she adds. "It reduces absenteeism in a very concrete way and improves productivity and improves the general working conditions in the factory."
Launched in 2018, Twinco has financed more than $2m in loans as part of its first financing programme in partnership with a Spanish fashion house. Nolasco says the Series A round, led by Finch Capital, will enable the company to scale its team as it prepares its second finance programme.
The only woman in the room
The female cofounder duo Nolasco and Carmen Marin say they are proud to be bringing greater gender representation to the world of south European fintech, with more than 35 years of experience in banking between them.
Nolasco, who has worked in banks across Europe, says Iberian professional culture in the financial sector still has a long way to go, "It's true that if you come down to Portugal and Spain I would say that the finance industry is still very male orientated and needs to do a lot of catching up."
And while the startup world of fintech may be more advanced, Nolasco says her and Marin are still in the minority, "You're less often the only woman in the room. Having said that, I was presenting Twinco at an SME [small medium enterprise] finance forum in 2018, there were 14 companies and out of those 14 pitches I was the only woman."
Nolasco says that it's hugely gratifying to be helping women in vulnerable communities through their financing model and hopes Twinco will be able to strengthen communities in more locations as the company scales.

Fintech's darkest day: Waking up to Wirecard


The Great Other is the god of darkness, cold, and death in the faith of R'hllor. His true name is never spoken. He is considered the enemy of R'hllor, the Lord of Light.
Followers of R'hllor believe that there are only two gods, R'hllor and the Great Other, who wage an eternal war over the fate of the world. All forces of darkness, cold, and death are believed to be only servants to the Great Other. Melisandre refers to the Others as the "cold children" of the Great Other.  The Great Other has never been mentioned by any Westerosi although all know of the Others from legends. According to Melisandre sleep is a little death, dreams are whisperings of the Other who would drag everyone into his eternal night.
Beyond the Wall, the enemy grows stronger, and should he win the dawn will never come again.
Death is his domain, the dead his soldiers.

First, rinse the quinoa in a fine mesh colander under running water for a minute or two.
In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed quinoa and 1 ½ cups water. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then cover the pot, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Remove the quinoa from heat and let it rest, still covered, for 5 minutes. Uncover the pot, drain off any excess water and fluff the quinoa with a fork. Set it aside to cool.
Add toppings set aside and garnish with fresh dill.

Q: If else expression compare not working i want to perform a compare if @accid2 not equal @accid then roll back action, else perform insert.
My result of this trigger is even that is not match but it still insert into my table.
here is my code:
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[TG_checkacctypehtl]
ON [dbo].[Accommodation_Hotel] INSTEAD OF INSERT
AS
DECLARE @accid NVARCHAR(50), @accid2 NVARCHAR(50),@hid NVARCHAR(50),@fsp NVARCHAR(50), @fc NVARCHAR(50), @sr NVARCHAR(50);
SELECT  @hid = i.hotel_id FROM INSERTED i;
SELECT @fsp = i.facillities_swimming_pool FROM INSERTED i;
SELECT @fc = i.facillities_catering FROM INSERTED i;
SELECT @sr =  i.star_rating FROM INSERTED i;
SELECT  @accid2 = i.accommodation_id FROM INSERTED i;
SELECT  @accid = accommodation_id FROM [dbo].[Accommodation] WHERE    accommodation_type= 'hotel' AND accommodation_id=@accid2;
BEGIN
BEGIN TRAN
SET NOCOUNT ON
PRINT @accid2
PRINT @accid
IF(@accid2 != @accid)
BEGIN
RAISERROR('Record Not Inserted, Accommodation ID is not a Hotel Id',16,1);   ROLLBACK; END
ElSE BEGIN
INSERT INTO [dbo].[accommodation_hotel] (hotel_id,facillities_swimming_pool,facillities_catering,star_rating,accommodation_id)
        VALUES (@hid,@fsp,@fc,@sr,@accid2);COMMIT;

END
END

*print is for check the value i get.
is that my logic error or my syntax error?

A: I would rewrite the whole trigger something like this...
ALTER TRIGGER [dbo].[TG_checkacctypehtl]
ON [dbo].[Accommodation_Hotel]
INSTEAD OF INSERT
AS
BEGIN
  SET NOCOUNT ON;
INSERT INTO [dbo].[accommodation_hotel] (hotel_id,facillities_swimming_pool,facillities_catering,star_rating,accommodation_id)
SELECT i.hotel_id
      ,i.facillities_swimming_pool
      ,i.facillities_catering
      ,i.star_rating
      ,i.accommodation_id
FROM inserted i
WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT 1
               FROM [dbo].[Accommodation] a
               WHERE a.accommodation_type= 'hotel'
               AND a.accommodation_id = i.accommodation_id)

IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM inserted i
            WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT 1
                               FROM [dbo].[Accommodation] a
                               WHERE a.accommodation_type= 'hotel'
                               AND a.accommodation_id = i.accommodation_id)
            )
  BEGIN
    RAISERROR('Records with invalid Accommodation ID is not a Hotel Id not inserted',16,1);
  END
END

Insert the rows with valid accommodation ids and raise an error if there are any rows with invalid Hotel Ids, Also no need for all those variables.
Also triggers are fired for each transaction, not for each row. Your code assume there will only be one rows inserted ever in the table at a time.

A: Should be IF(@accid2 <> @accid)

'Test cricket is still the ultimate': Glenn McGrath backs Pat Cummins decision to skip IPL 2023
by Shreyas Vyas
Written by Shreyas Vyas
Indian Premier League is one of the most sought after tournaments in world cricket, but Australia captain Pat Cummins is riding a different boat. The 29-year-old had announced that he won't take part in the IPL 2023 season.
Cummins argued that he wanted to focus on the upcoming World Cup 2023 and Ashes and due to a hectic schedule, he would miss the IPL. Former Australia fast bowler Glenn McGrath has come out in support of the Australia skipper. In an interaction with AAP, McGrath backed Cummins' decision citing the extreme workload that fast bowlers manage these days which involves plenty of bowling and running.
"Cummo has come out and said he's not going to the next IPL. That's where you have your offseason, get strong and get through the next season. If you don't do that, you're a car that never refuels. Sooner or later you're going to run out. Fast bowlers need to have a bit of an offseason because bowling and running depletes your strength," said McGrath.
You don't want to devalue the Big Bash, but you have to weigh up what is important. Playing for Australia should still be the be-all and end-all. Test cricket is still the ultimate," he added.
Meanwhile Mitchell Starc is the other Australian star who has decided to skip the upcoming IPL season. Starc had announced that playing Test cricket was his priority.

"They Gave Us Nothing To Score From":...


I love my kids. They are wonderfully weird and I'm here for it. I love their quirks and the fact that they aren't embarrassed about doing the things that they love. Adults tend to overthink things all of the time, and it sometimes causes us to lose our love of life, and the luster that makes us so amazing in the first place. After eating pizza at Fire Flour in Bismarck, we stumbled upon the Bismarck Alley Art and immediately settled in for a photo shoot.
I don't know if you watched the episode of the Harry Show where the kids and I are doing a space activity on the floor of my kitchen, but there was a moment where Sir Twizzler gets up to do a victory dance when he matches a set of planets, or stars, or whatever space related item he matched. I remember thinking in my head that he was being even sillier than he normally is, and that it was because of the cameras in the house. Except, it wasn't. It's because Sir Twizzler is so delightfully weird all of the time that it doesn't matter if there are cameras filming his shenanigans or not.
We've been on the road a lot this year, and I find that I'm able to get amazing photos when I let them freely pose instead of telling them to huddle together and give me the normal corny smile. What's even more amazing is the fact that their silliness sets me at peace to be just as silly with them, and to show them that it's okay for adults to let loose sometimes.
One of the places that we visited in North Dakota was Bismarck, and there was an AMAZING alley full of art that we took advantage of before hitting the road again. The art was beautiful, and bright, and the perfect backdrop for us to show our chops at posing on the fly.
Can I just take a moment to say how much I love these pants? They just pull up and I don't have to fuss with a zipper or a button. I don't care if you don't like them, because I do, and they are perfect for traveling in, and walking the streets of cities that I'm touring.
Anyway, back to the post. This alley was full of different paintings by local Bismarck artists, and right up my alley (see what I did there?) for photography. The kids loved all of the different ways that the artists showcased their talents, and even recognized some symbols of North Dakota in a lot of the pieces.
You haven't lived until you've stood wide legged in front of amazing art in the middle of an alley. A place where your mother usually tells you to stay out of. A place where beauty and fun isn't usually found. Look at those faces and tell me that we shouldn't live like this every single day.
Today I shared a photo of my 41 year old self doing a cartwheel on the blog today, so I'm ready! Let's do this!! Also I'm so glad that our paths crossed so many years ago.

Q: Not quite understanding a final step in an RSA licensing scheme I am generating public and private keys. My private key stays with me and the public ships with the plugin binaries we sell. Customer plugin side we take a "fingerprint and hash it. Then along with some other implementation specifics we rsa encrypt it and send a lic. request over the web.
On our side server gets lic. request and decrypts using private key. Then pulls up customer, checks fingerprint for deltas and other such particulars like payment received.
Now the question I have is my response. Say everything checks out good. I need to respond to the request with a valid key. Generating the key on my side is easy enough and sending as a response is straight forward....but how does my plugin product know it is valid?
If I rsa encrypt it the plugin product...containing only the public key...can't decrypt it. If I embed some form of valid license checking code then it is easily disassembled and keys can be spoofed.
I know I can't make it crack proof. I am just looking to put deadbolts on doors and perhaps a security camera or two watching things...In essence making it less effort to pay for the product than buy all the equipment and spend time breaking in.
So to restate for clarity. The question isn't generating a license key response...although I am always willing to learn or hear other ideas.
The question is how, once the response is back to my customer plugin binary do I validate this is a key generated by me...and thus unlock the product for use.
Thank You very much for your patient assistance.

A: To verify the response is from you you can sign it with the private key on the server and the client software can verify it with the public key. To make it slightly more secure you could use one key pair for encryption/decryption and one for signing/verifying.
If you want to decrypt on the client, then you can configure each client to use it's own key. If you cannot configure that you could derive a symmetric key from some device ID. Of course, you need to include the device ID with the encrypted request in that case. This is not a full-proof scheme either, but that's impossible without a trusted device anyway.


From the mid 1990's Insecurity examined the global phenomenon of privatised global security, utilising this modern hyper-industry as an allegory for analysing global insecurity. Summer Camp was photographed in the summer of 2001 at a secretive training camp in Eastern Europe that was part of the private military and security industry. At the end of that summer the Sept 11th attacks occurred and the private security industry expanded rapidly. Kill House is a photographic navigation through a US based military structure used for the training of private military personnel prior to deployment to domestic and foreign conflicts and was photographed in 2005 at the height of the war on terror. Super Border is a series of photographs taken along the route of the then newly opened 300 million euro External Integrated Vigilance System on the southern Andalucian coast in Spain. Bomblast are the safety protection curtains installed in many government departments, including the one that I once worked in, in the wake of the IRA bombings in London in the 1980's and 1990's and whose continued installation in those spaces reflects the ongoing threat and fear of major terrorist attack. The Colony takes the nightly phenomenon of bat colonies migrating across Australian skies during the time I lived in Sydney and touches on environmental displacement, migration and the increasing perception of threat in the Pacific region.

Turlough O'Carolan ( ; 167025 March 1738) was a blind Celtic harper, composer and singer in Ireland whose great fame is due to his gift for melodic composition.

Although not a composer in the classical sense, Carolan is considered by many to be Ireland's national composer. Harpers in the old Irish tradition were still living as late as 1792, and ten, including Arthur O'Neill, Patrick Quin and Donnchadh Ó hÁmsaigh, attended the Belfast Harp Festival. Ó hÁmsaigh played some of Carolan's music, but disliked it for being too modern. Some of Carolan's own compositions show influences of the style of continental classical music, whereas others such as Farewell to Music reflect a much older style of "Gaelic Harping".

Biography

Carolan was born in 1670 in Nobber, County Meath, where his father was a blacksmith. The family, who were said to be a branch of the Mac Brádaigh sept of County Cavan- Carolan's great-grandfather, Shane Grana O'Carrolan, was chieftain of his sept in 1607- forfeited their estates during the civil wars, and moved from Meath in 1684 to Ballyfarnon, County Roscommon, on the invitation of the family of MacDermot Roe of Alderford House. In Roscommon, his father took a job with the MacDermott Roe family. Mrs. MacDermott Roe gave Turlough an education, and he showed talent in poetry. After being blinded by smallpox at the age of eighteen, Carolan was apprenticed by Mrs. MacDermott Roe to a good harper. At the age of twenty-one, being given a horse and a guide, he set out to travel Ireland and compose songs for patrons.

For almost fifty years, Carolan journeyed from one end of Ireland to the other, composing and performing his tunes. One of his earliest compositions was about Brigid Cruise, with whom he was infatuated. Brigid was the teenage daughter of the schoolmaster at the school for the blind attended by Carolan in Cruisetown, Ireland. In 1720, Carolan married Mary Maguire. He was then 50 years of age. Their first family home was a cottage on a parcel of land near the town of Manachain (now Mohill) in County Leitrim, where they settled. They had seven children, six daughters and one son. In 1733 Mary died.

Turlough O'Carolan died on 25 March 1738. He is buried in the MacDermott Roe family crypt in Kilronan Burial Ground near Ballyfarnon, County Roscommon. The annual O'Carolan Harp Festival and Summer School commemorates his life and work in Keadue, County Roscommon.

A bronze monument by sculptor Oisin Kelly depicting Turlough O'Carolan playing his harp was erected on a plinth at the Market Square, Mohill, on 10 August 1986, and was unveiled by Patrick Hillery, President of Ireland.

A statue was erected to him in 2002 at his place of birth, during the Annual O'Carolan Harp Festival, the first of which was held in Nobber in 1988.

Music and style
Carolan composed both songs and instrumental harp music, reflecting various styles of composition. About a third of Carolan's surviving music has associated Irish lyrics that survive to this day. Largely these lyrics are unknown to the musicians of today, who have for the most part adapted Carolan's repertoire to the currently popular Irish fare of jigs and reels.

Modern Irish was the majority language in Ireland during Carolan's time. As Carolan did not speak English very well, he composed only one song in English, "Carolan's Devotion". These lyrics can be heard on the album "Carolan's Harp", by The Harp Consort, 1996. Most of Carolan's songs were dedicated to and written about specific individual patrons. Many of his tunes are widely performed and appreciated today, and a handful of the songs with known lyrics have been recorded by singers. Among these are Gráinne Yeats (Belfast Harp Festival, 1992) and the singers of Garlic Bread ("O'Carolan's Dream", 2007) and Ensemble Musica Humana ("Turlough O'Carolan: a Life in Song", 2013).

Carolan's activities during his career are only partially documented historically. This has led to a lack of accurate information about Carolan and his music, even among Irish musicians. Sometimes, alternate titles or incorrect titles have been applied to songs, creating confusion as to whether the song is Carolan's or someone else's. Also, some of those who have written about Carolan and his music have made up facts or repeated unfounded stories. For instance, Edward Bunting, who began the work of collecting Carolan's pieces, referred to a "very ancient air" the Fairy Queen, saying it "seems to have been the original of Carolan's Fairy Queen." He also reported that "the Fairy Queen of Carolan was not intended by him for words, but as a piece of music for the harp." While it is true that Carolan did not write the traditional Fairy Queen words, which indeed do exist, the words are not ancient (nor is the entirely different traditional Irish air The Fairy Queen), and the words do in fact fit perfectly the original music which Carolan composed for them.

Carolan is said to have typically composed the tune first, as he rode from place to place, then added words later. Many of his songs are designated as "planxties", an obscure word that Carolan apparently invented or popularized to signify a tribute to a merry host. In return for writing songs in honour of wealthy patrons, Carolan was often welcomed as an honoured guest to stay on their estates. It is said that weddings and funerals were sometimes delayed until he could arrive to perform.

Publication
Most of Carolan's compositions were not published or even written down in his lifetime. They survived in the repertoires of fiddlers, pipers, and the last of the old Irish harper/singers. They were collected and published during the late 18th century and beyond, largely beginning with the work of Edward Bunting and his assistants in 1792.

A small sampling of Carolan's music was published during his lifetime. One of the first such publications was in Neale's A Collection of the Most Celebrated Irish Tunes ..., Dublin, 1724.

The definitive work containing all 214 of Carolan's tunes as identified by Donal O'Sullivan (1893–1973) is the 1958 edition (2001 reprint) of Carolan: The Life Times and Music of an Irish Harper. Partial lyrics (and all known sources of lyrics) are mentioned in the text description of each piece but are not matched to the written music. O'Sullivan does not include any of the handful of alleged Carolan songs that he considers to be erroneous, such as: "Dermott O'Doud", "Planxty Miss Burke", and "The Snowy-Breasted Pearl".

A comprehensive edition of Carolan's Songs & Airs containing new arrangements for harp of all 214 airs, along with an additional 12 airs from the Appendix of the 2001 edition was published by Caitríona Rowsome in 2011. This book includes an instance of each of Carolan's undisputed surviving lyrics and metrically sets the lyrics note-for-note to the sheet music airs. Each of the 226 harp settings in this book are played by the author on a neo-Irish harp (book and 4-CD set). This is the first time that all of Carolan's lyrics have been set to the airs and has been welcomed as "a task that has needed doing for many years". The 4-CD recording is of harp music without vocals, but the book includes sheet music for interested singers. The book also includes an English interpretation for each of Carolan's 72 Irish song lyrics. Five of these interpretations take the form of new English lyrics set metrically to the sheet music of "Hewlett", "Colonel John Irwin", "John O'Connor", "Kean O'Hara (3rd Air)" and "Sheebeg and Sheemore".

Performances
Since 1967, when Seán O'Riada and the Ceoltóirí Chualann released Carolan's Concerto and 2 other Carolan compositions, there have been hundreds of recordings of Carolan songs released by dozens of artists. Many of these recordings are by such well-known performers as The Chieftains, Planxty, Patrick Ball, and Joemy Wilson, others by less well-known artists. Occasionally, an artist who is popular in another area will record a single Carolan song for the sake of variety, such as Steeleye Span's "Sheebeg and Sheemore", John Renbourn's "Lament for Owen Roe O'Neill", Richard Thompson's "Morgan Mawgan" [sic], Stefan Grossman's "Blind Mary", John Williams' "Mrs. Maxwell", and many others. Several popular collections by multiple artists have also been issued, including The Music of O'Carolan (1993), Deluxe Anthology of Carolan (1995), Celtic Treasure (1996), and Celtic Treasure II (2001). The sheer quantity of these recordings has greatly expanded the number of Carolan pieces known to the public, but the performers do tend to come back to certain songs again and again. Among the most frequently recorded pieces are the following:

"Carolan's Concerto" (at least 35), "Blind Mary" (at least 23), "Planxty George Brabazon" (also known as "Isle of Skye"; at least 23), "Sheebeg and Sheemore" (at least 22), "Planxty Col. Irwin" (at least 19), "Fanny Power" (at least 19), "Eleanor Plunkett" (at least 18), "The Princess Royal" (also known as "Miss MacDermott" and "The Arethusa"; at least 18), "Carolan's Farewell to Music" (at least 18), "Carolan's Draught" (at least 17), "Hewlett" (at least 16), and "Stafford's Receipt" (at least 16). In addition, innumerable musicians have performed many of Carolan's tunes learned from such books as The Fiddler's Fakebook, which contains some of the above tunes plus Morgan Magan and Planxty Drury. Also, O'Neill's Music of Ireland (1903) is still in print and contains over 60 of Carolan's tunes, of which far too many to list have made their way into the repertoire of musicians around the world.

In addition, Carolan's Concerto has been used as a neutral slow march by the Foot Guards of the British Army during the ceremony of Trooping the Colour. Also, some of Carolan's compositions have appeared in the role-playing game FATE, specifically Captain O'Kane and The Clergy's Lamentation.

Carolan's music has frequently been adapted for fingerstyle guitar (primarily steel-string acoustic), often by altering the tuning from standard (EADGBE) to DADGBE (drop D), DADGAD, and CGDGAD, among others. This allows strings to ring out and results in a more harp-like sound. Duck Baker has recorded many Carolan songs in drop D tuning. El McMeen performs almost exclusively in CGDGAD, and has recorded many Carolan songs.

Many of these pieces have alternative titles, as fully documented by Donal O'Sullivan. O'Sullivan's preferred titles are the ones generally accepted as standard, though quite a few of these titles were devised by O'Sullivan himself after exhaustive research into the identities of the patrons for whom each song was written.

Additionally, a manuscript compiled in Scotland in 1816 by the MacLean-Clephane sisters was discovered in 1983 and includes at least five other pieces credited to Carolan and other annotated pieces that were "improved by Carolan" or "consistent with Carolan's writing to warrant consideration". These airs are included in the Appendix of the 2001 edition of Carolan: The Life Times and Music of an Irish Harper along with detailed research notes. These pieces came to light a decade after the death of Donal O'Sullivan in 1973, so he never had an opportunity to subject them to the same analysis that he used on the original 214 airs that he originally compiled in 1958. However, to date, no one has disputed the attributions presented in this manuscript. Newly composed harp arrangements for each of these and all the other airs (as well as new Carolan repertoire numbers 215 to 226 for each of the MacLean-Clephane tunes) are included in The Complete Carolan Songs & Airs by Caitríona Rowsome. The five pieces that are said to be composed by Carolan rather than simply "improved" are:
"Athlone" (215)
"Banks of the Shannon" (216)
"Farewell to Lough Neaghe" (219)
"Irish Galloway Tom" (220)
"The Lamentation of Ireland" (221)

Other

O'Carolan Road in the Tenters area of Dublin 8 is named in his honour.
Carolan Road and "Carolan Corner" shop are named in his honour in the Ballynafeigh area of south Belfast.
The meteorite crater Carolan on Mercury was named in his honour in 2015.
Polish bands: 2 plus 1 in 1979 and Myslovitz in 1996 recorded songs entitled "Peggy Brown", said to be a translation of an obscure O'Carolan lyric by Polish lyricist Ernest Bryll, with different tunes and arrangements: folk and alternative rock, respectively. Neither of these tunes use an O'Carolan composition. Both songs were very popular in Poland.
O'Carolan is depicted on the £50 note, Series B Banknote of Ireland.

Time to Celebrate Anne Hutchinson's 425th Birthday, This Summer on Beacon Hill!
I'm excited to give the keynote address at this summer's celebration of Anne Hutchinson's 425th birthday, on the morning of July 21 at the Congregational Library & Archives in Boston. This event is part of an important initiative to acknowledge and recognize America's founding mothers:
425 Years: The Anne Marbury Hutchinson Celebration
This summer the Anne Marbury Hutchinson Foundation celebrates
its namesake's 425th birthday in three states over four days. The event-series will begin in Boston, MA (July 20-21), continue to Portsmouth, RI (July 22) and Bronx-Eastchester, NY (July 23), and return to Boston for closing events (July 24). The foundation's mission is to raise awareness of "Mother Anne's" nation-shaping contributions and serve as a springboard to celebrate the lives of other extraordinary women in our nation's past. The 2016 Our Founding Mothers Celebration, a collaborative series of events organized by the Anne Marbury Hutchinson Foundation and other nonprofits, will focus in its inaugural year on Anne Hutchinson's life (1591-1643).

Anne Hutchinson may not be on U.S. currency, but she is in stained glass
Inside the Heinz Memorial Chapel of the University of Pittsburgh, where my daughter Clara just graduated, I was astonished to look up at a stained-glass window and find Anne Hutchinson. She is dressed in blue, with white coif and collar, standing before a man and three women, teaching. Her right hand is raised, one finger pointing toward the heavens. To the left of her hand is the Holy Spirit.
The transept windows of the nondenominational chapel portray figures both sacred and secular that represent tolerance, courage, temperance, and truth. The figures include Florence Nightingale, Pocahontas, Lewis and Clark, Abigail Adams, Beethoven, Leonardo da Vinci, Mary Magdalene, Abraham Lincoln, Emily Dickinson, Saint Francis, Benjamin Franklin, and Leif Ericsson.

Imran Khan faces economic tests in Pakistan's political caldron
Former cricket star to be sworn in as prime minister on Saturday

ISLAMABAD -- Imran Khan will be sworn in as Pakistan's new prime minister on Saturday, but the former cricket hero will have to bat off a slew of challenges if he is to become the first premier to complete a full term in the country's 71-year history.
Last month's parliamentary elections were shrouded by opposition claims of manipulation linked to the army. As well as having to shake off these allegations, Khan needs to stave off a balance of payments crisis, improve one of the world's worst tax-collection systems, and find a balance between competing demands from China, India, the U.S. and Afghanistan.
With its foreign currency reserves running dry, Pakistan needs urgent financial help.
Reserves have halved over the past 20 months, with Chinese lending and devaluations of the rupee keeping the nation afloat. At around $10 billion, the country's reserves are barely enough to finance two months of imports.
China has hinted that it will provide financial backing so that Khan's new government won't need to go cap in hand to the International Monetary Fund for a bailout, which the U.S. opposes.
Pakistan also needs continued Chinese investment in the $60 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor -- a series of energy and infrastructure projects that are key to Beijing's much vaunted Belt and Road Initiative.
In his acceptance speech last month, Khan promised to create a welfare state. That could be hampered by the fact that less than 1% of the population pays income tax.
"The economic constraints will make it hard for the government to immediately extend relief to the people," said Sakib Sherani, a former adviser to the finance ministry. "They will first have to stabilize the economy. It will take time."
A leading businessman who asked not to be named said Khan risks popular disappointment if he can't deliver on his promises soon. He warned that the new government "will not have a very long honeymoon period."
Only 1% of Pakistanis pay income tax, which has helped to create a balance of payments crisis. © Reuters
Another challenge: Pushing economic reforms through parliament will bring on an opposition backlash.
Perhaps this has already begun. On Wednesday, the new lower house of parliament approved Khan's choice of Asad Qaiser, a senior figure in the his party, as speaker. As Qaiser took his oath, opposition legislators repeatedly interrupted him as an expression of their dissatisfaction with the manner of Khan's election.
One opposition leader who spoke on condition of anonymity said this was a "precursor of the coming times."
A senior Western diplomat, who also asked not to be named, said, "Imran Khan may have won, but it's a half victory and not one that can be fully celebrated."
Shujaat Khan, an Islamabad University student who voted for the opposition PML-N, said painful economic reforms will anger Pakistanis. "The public's mood can change very quickly," he said, "especially if they are put through tough times ahead."
Pakistan is also troubled by geopolitics. Its conflict over the predominantly Muslim state of Kashmir has been long-standing, and it is coming under increasing pressure from the U.S. to restrain Taliban militants that have recently made advances in Afghanistan.
"We are in a region with dangers all around," former diplomat Ali Sarwar Naqvi said. "But Khan is seen like a breath of fresh air. People voted for him because many Pakistani's want to see their country change, and he is widely seen as the man who can bring that change."

Wingham Wildlife Park, a set on Flickr.
Our Invicta Shutterbugs May photowalk was to the Wingham Wildlife Park, near Canterbury, Kent. While only three of us turned up, we enjoyed it no end. It took me a while to get my photo mojo going, I have to admit. A detour on the way home gave me some spiffing ideas for walks next year, too.

A test in case Flickr has decided to stop its hissy fit with WordPress now.
Aylesford Photowalk, a set on Flickr.
The March Invicta Shutterbugs walk took place in Aylesford, Kent. It is a place I have driven through hundreds of times, and never thought to actually stop and walk around.
Breakfast 366 – December, a set on Flickr.
I've finished! I have taken my last photo of my breakfast in 2012!
4mm Scale Road Vehicles, a set on Flickr.
I spent a bit of time yesterday taking portraits of some of my 4mm scale road vehicles. It's horrible how problems you don't see when looking at the actual models show up when you get really close. Close-up photos can be cruel at times.

Smartpark Facility Management & Access Control is an add-on function of Smartpark Control. It has similar functions of Smartpark Floodlight Controller
Administration of active reserves, parks, sports facilities and recreation facilities requires a dedicated team of personnel to ensure that each and every facility and sporting club is properly supported
Smartpark Facility Management & Access Control makes the administration easier by providing smart access to council and local government assets such as club buildings, sports & recreation centres. This includes the allocation of ground use and where applicable to control of the floodlights. Even the access to club rooms can be part of this.
With the use of RFID technology and associated software, the Smartpark Facility Management & Access Control System allows you to control access and properly allocate usage expenses to the various clubs.
The result is that a council can hire out a facility for a night and don't have to worry about further access once the card access has been disabled. A simple deposit bond will ensure that the card is returned.
And for those of you that have been chasing up sporting clubs forever to get them to pay for the usage of the facilities, the pre-paid option has the capacity to make your life a whole lot easier
The wireless communication capacity of the controller can also be used for the addition of video monitoring and the control of lights and power inside the building
