Q: What is the correct syntax to return a function in Rust? What is the correct syntax to return a function in Rust?
The following code does not compile.
  fn identity<T>(a: T) -> T {
    return a;
  };

  fn right<T>(a: T) -> Fn {
    return identity;
  };

A: Here (playground) is a minimal example:
fn identity<T>(a: T) -> T {
    return a;
}

fn right<T>(_a: T) -> impl Fn(T) -> T {
    return identity;
}

fn main() {
    println!("{}", right(0)(42))
}

You need to:

*

*Specify the input argument and output types within the signature, i.e. Fn(T) -> T.

*Specify that right's return type implements the trait Fn(T) -> T.

Alternatively, you could also have written the function pointer fn(T) -> T as the return type. Since this is not a trait, you would not need the impl keyword:
fn right<T>(_a: T) -> fn(T) -> T {
    return identity;
}

Only fn items and non-capturing closures can be coerced to function pointers, so, while simpler, this will not work in all cases.

A: This is the best I came up with:
fn identity<T>(a: T) -> T {
    return a;
}

fn right<T>() -> &'static dyn Fn(T)->T {
    return &identity::<T>;
}

fn main() {
    println!("{}", right()(3.1415));
}

playground <-- test it by yourself.
Explanation
&'static dyn Fn(T)->T means that it returns a reference to some object that satisfy the Fn(T)->T trait (because yes Fn(T)->T is indeed a trait, not a type).

A: Self answer after two answers from others:
I came up with this:
  fn identity<T>(a: T) -> T {
    a
  };

  fn right<T, U>(_a: T) -> fn(U) -> U {
    identity
  };

The return type of right does not have to be identical to input of T of identity.

In re Picker
IN RE PICKER ET AL.
Appeal from Trial Term.
In the matter of the arbitration of David V. Picker and Frank Marcus. From an order confirming the award, and from the judgment granted thereon, Frank Marcus appeals. Reversed, and award vacated.
[114 N.Y.S. 290] Alfred B. Jaworower, for appellant.
Bernhard Ginzburg, for respondent.
Argued before PATTERSON, P. J., and McLAUGHLIN, LAUGHLIN, HOUGHTON, and SCOTT, JJ.
[114 N.Y.S. 291] SCOTT, J.
On October 27, 1907, Frank Marcus and David V. Picker entered into an agreement to submit to arbitration a certain controversy which had arisen between them. On November 7, 1907, the arbitrators executed an award in favor of Picker. No motion was made to vacate, modify, or correct it, and on March 28, 1908, the successful party noticed a motion to be heard on July 30, 1908, for an order confirming the award and for judgment thereon. Marcus, the defeated party, opposed the motion upon an affidavit intended to show misconduct on the part of the arbitrators. The motion was, however, granted, and a judgment entered in favor of Picker and against Marcus for the amount found due by the award. Marcus has now appealed from the order confirming the award, and also from the judgment.
No appeal lies from the order. Section 2381 of the Code of Civil Procedure provides that:
" An appeal may be taken from an order vacating an award, or from a judgment entered upon an award, as from an order or judgment in an action."
The only appeal from an order therefore is when it vacates an award. When a judgment has been entered upon an award, the appeal must be from the judgment. The appellant in this case has, however, appealed from the judgment as well as from the order, and the appeal from the latter may be disregarded. The affidavit upon which the motion to confirm the report was based set forth: That the appellant, Marcus, received a notice to attend a meeting of the arbitrators on Saturday, November 2, 1907, at the office of one of the arbitrators; that he attended at the time and place appointed, but Picker did not attend; that Morris Asinof, one of the arbitrators, who seems to have acted as the mouthpiece of the board, then stated that the hearing of the arbitration would be adjourned to the following day, Sunday, November 3, 1907, to which appellant objected, saying that he did not want hearings to be held on Sunday. Notwithstanding his protests and objections, the hearing was adjourned until Sunday. On Sunday, November 3, 1907, the appellant again appeared at the time and place appointed, and again protested against the hearing being had on Sunday, and asked that the hearing be adjourned; but his protest was unheeded, his request refused, and the hearing proceeded with. All the arbitrators appear to have been present at this time. At the hearing the respondent Picker was represented by an attorney who presented his client's claim to the arbitrators. Appellant objected to the presence and participation of this attorney, and urged upon the arbitrators that, if Picker was allowed to be assisted by counsel, the appellant should be afforded an opportunity to provide himself with counsel to assist in the presentation of his side of the case. This protest and request was also disregarded, and the hearing proceeded, resulting in an award in favor of Picker. The hearing on Sunday, November 3d, was the only hearing held by the arbitrators, although their award was signed on November 7th, a week day.
It was urged on behalf of the respondent that the appellant cannot be heard to object to the entry of judgment upon the award because he neither moved to vacate it under section 2374, Code Civ. Proc., nor [114 N.Y.S. 292] to modify or correct it under section 2375. Section 2373, Code Civ. Proc., provides that:
" At any time within one year after the award is made as prescribed in the last section any party to the submission may apply to the court specified in the submission, for an order confirming the award, and thereupon the court must grant such an order, unless the award is vacated, modified or corrected as prescribed in the next two sections."
Section 2374 provides that:
" In either of the following cases the court specified in the submission must make an order vacating the award, upon the application of either party to the submission; *** where the arbitrators were guilty of misconduct in refusing to postpone the hearing upon sufficient cause shown *** or of any other misbehavior by which the rights of any party have been prejudiced."
The more regular course undoubtedly to be taken by a party wishing to vacate, modify, or correct an award is to make an independent motion for that relief; but we are of the opinion, and so the authorities hold, that the omission to make that motion will not deprive the party of his right to raise the objections upon the motion to confirm the report, and to review the judgment upon the same ground. In re Poole (Genl. T. First Dept.) 5 Civ. Proc. R. 279.The objections which may be thus taken, however, are only those which might ...

Homepage. This page: Andrew recalls the Riley Elf he owned in the early 1970s.
Andrew's 1966 Riley Elf.
Only a few days after providing photographs of his father's Wolseley Hornet, Andrew Willoughby emailed over photos of the similar Riley Elf that he bought for himself. The car was eight years old at the time and, like many cars of the 1960s, was already in need of improvement if its life was to continue in reasonable running order. Andrew takes up the story...
"My life started in a family with no cars, but my dad soon progressed through 803cc Austin A30, 948cc A40 Mk2 (Andrew's and his father's Mk2 A40s feature on this page), to a 998cc Wolseley Hornet. At 16 years old I had my 1956 Reliant Regal with an aluminium body, then my 948cc A35, and my 1098cc Mk2 A40."
"At age 19 I wanted something a bit more modern than the A40, so came across a Riley Elf, the same spec as my dad's Hornet, except for a lovely wood dashboard. It would be barely 8 years old, sold from new by Nidd Vale Motors to an elderly lady, then sold to Tom Grath, the parts man at Nidd Vale. It didn't cost me much, and I had the idea of spending money on it to rebuild everything, but no, every bit of it was so worn out! It was MoT'd and I ran it as my daily car to drive to Rose Forgrove Engineering at Seacroft, where I was a student apprentice. Green with a cream roof and a lovely green leather interior, all a bit worn, but it was fine for a student. Went like the clappers but goodness it used some oil. About twenty miles to the pint meant I was putting 2 or 3 pints in every day. The blue smoke from the exhaust wasn't too bad, but don't leave it ticking over in traffic. If you did, then the cloud of smoke as you pulled away was just amazing. At the time I was servicing a few cars 'on the side', so I put all the used oil into the Elf."
"I ran it for a year or more and did little to it. It passed an MoT without too much trouble, the certificate signed of course by S.Claus. It did look odd as a signature, but how else could Stan sign it? I put a pair of wings and a new front panel on it, but realised it just wasn't worth it. The engine was shot, it needed new sills inner and outer, a new rear subframe, and new brake cylinders, pipes, hoses and shoes. Throw it away! So I did. All I have left is the number plate. But it was fun. And some parts were re-used. My friend 'F' was using two Mini vans to create one useable car, so the front end of the Elf ended up on a van. Meanwhile, I bought an MG1100 (which now features on this page), a 1963 model that I bought in about 1974 and ran until 1977."
Dismantling of the Elf in photos.
The following photos show the part-dismantled Riley Elf. The first sees Andrew at the wheel of the sorry-looking car. The front end panels, along with the engine, doors and windscreen, had all been removed by this point. Apart from a lone Ford (Mk2 Cortina, which belonged to a neighbouring joiner), the cars in this snapshot are all from the BMC stable. A London-registered Mk1 BMC 1100 (BYY 332B) from 1964, sporting body-fillered rear arches carved into something close to the original shape (a common sight in garages throughout the 1960s and 1970s) was in to have new floors fitted - the job was referred to as 'York Minster' by Stan Clause. Over to the right is a Morris "Mini-Minor" Traveller woodie, also in for a spot of work.
Following on, a photo showing the back end of the Elf nosed into a garage, the Mini alongside it. The Mini too is showing signs of wear to its body, the usual rot spots on the front wings are beginning to dissolve, filler coming to the rescue as a stop-gap repair. I remember our family's '67 Mini deteriorating in just the same way.
Building the Riley Elf/Mini Van.
As Andrew has already mentioned, once the decision had been made to pension-off the Elf, a plan was formulated to re-use the front end panels and grille on a friend's Mini van. The following photo shows the re-branded Riley/Mini van during its (re)construction. Look closely and you can see the roof vent that was fitted to the early Mini vans, and the two windows set into the pair of rear doors.
Completing this set of photographs, the completed Mini van now adorned with the Riley front panel and grille. Not one for purists nowadays of course, but when Mini vans were just plentiful and cheap old runabouts, many owners did what they could to personalise their van to make it stand out from the crowd. Fitting front panels from either the Riley Elf or the Wolseley Hornet was not all that un-common, and the end result was well worth the effort, at a time when no-one was thinking yet of preserving and restoring these old workhorses to factory spec. Thanks for the photos and write-up Andrew, an interesting insight into running what are now "classic cars" back in their day.

Bloodhound is a large scent hound originally bred for hunting deer and wild boar, but also used from the Middle Ages onwards for tracking human beings, and now most often bred specifically for that purpose, for all its calm manners at home, the bloodhound is a tireless trailer once on the track, they also have a legendary reputation as police dogs. Bloodhound is a kind, patient, noble, mild-mannered and lovable dog. Gentle, affectionate and excellent with children, this breed is more than one thousand years old. The first actual reference to the breed by that name was in a poem by Sir Humphrey de Bohun, Earl of Hereford, titled William of Palerne (1350). It depicts a dog, called a Bloodhound, as a careful hunter who is on the trail of two lovers disguised as bears. Bloodhounds are not suited for apartment living. They do best in a home with a large fenced yard.


Getting Around – Hello Korea !
This doesn't quite capture how crowded the subways get around rush hour, because I'm too short to get the long view, but we are packed in like sardines.
omg – you really must watch this video! It really is like this at rush hour! Not all the time, but rush hour – especially on line 2, the green inner circle line, is a teeming mass of humanity.
The only time I'm afraid is going down the stairs – I'm paranoid someone will trip and there will be a pile-up.
The trains come about every three minutes, there are up to sixty stops on each line, and there are ten subway lines (and two short express runs near the airport). I'm guessing about half of Seoul's population of 11 million take the subways. It takes me an hour or more to get to the center of Seoul from where I live at Peyongchon Station.
The green line doesn't follow that generalization, because it is the inner circle line and makes a big loop.
The lines are color coded, and they have painted stripes on the walls you can follow to get you to the next transfer point.
You simply swipe your T-money card at the entry turnstiles, and then clear them by swiping again at the exit turnstiles.
Trains are announced according to their final destination, so you should try and look where the line ends. Some trains only go half way, so if you are going further it's better to wait than get on.
You don't have to go back through the turnstiles when you transfer most of the time. I have had to do this twice though. Not sure if it has anything to do with there being two different companies running different portions of the subways or not.
If you're already on a subway platform and not sure if you're heading the right direction, check on the columns or walls for signs like above. Check against your map and you'll see if you're heading in the right direction or not.
If you're not, then you'll have to go up and over to get to the platform going the opposite direction.
It's a brilliantly laid out system, with excellent way-finding 99% of the time, but I REALLY WISH they had labeled the platforms as A, B, C, or D instead of 1,2,3,4. Some confusion can result if, for example, you are riding line 1, and the train you want is on platform 2…Therefore, you have to find a second and third way to make sure before you get on the wrong train.
wow , less lines than in Paris but much longer … I am wondering if they have more stops ?
It says that the Paris Metro "has 16 lines, mostly underground, and a total length of 214 km (133 mi). There are 300 stations. Since some are served by several lines, there are 384 stops in total.
Seoul has 380 stations, but they're adding a new line and extending another line by 2010, so that will increase.
Both Paris and Seoul are mostly underground, but the Tokyo systems is about half above ground.
And the actual usage is hard to calculate because Seoul has three different companies running their subways, while Tokyo system has two totally separate systems. So if you cross systems you are counted twice, whereas in the Seoul lines you don't go through the turnstiles again when crossing systems and are only counted once.
You're such a geek, Pierre!
They seem fixed to me. The heat vents are under the seats, so the seats are warm in the winter, which is very nice.
nope. no folding seats. although sometimes there are areas with no seats for the handicapped.
I like the photos of the stations for the new lines – very cool!

Biogas from Dal Weeds
Shams Irfan
12:50 pm May 31, 2010
Appreciating the efforts of FCIK and IYCN, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah suggested generating biogas from weeds of Dal and other lakes to manage energy requirements of an energy-deficit state, reports Aliya Bashir.
Calling for industrial promotion in an eco-friendly manner, Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah said that the time is ripe for sustainable development in J&K for a twin role of greening the industries and increasing employment through continuous economic growth.
"We need to broaden our vision as we can't stretch economy and policy for a long. For development we have to think beyond short-term solutions if we have to eliminate long term damage," he said.
Omar presided over the valedictory session of the three-day exercise that was dedicated to sustainable development of the state. Members of all the five preceding sessions including ministers and experts made their recommendations to this session.
Chief Minister said that for industrial boost there is dire need to harness other alternative sources of energy which can have minimum environmental hazards.
"We are working hard to utilize non-conventional sources of energy for overall development of the state. For more energy efficiency, we should try to utilize biogas generation with usage of weeds in Dal, other water bodies and production of bio-fertilizers for addressing local power needs", Omar said.
Stressing on the need to have some innovative technologies which can minimize the industrial pollution, Omar emphasized that there has been tremendous pressure on the ecology and environment in the state due to the increasing population and disorganized constructions.
"Whatever resources we have available at present they are under pressure. We have to manage it with a module so that we can protect and preserve our green assets for future generations," he maintained.
While appreciating all the topics of different sessions, Omar said that the joint venture by FCIK and IYCN highlights their concern to save the pristine glory of Kashmir, instead of regular conferencing on Industrial trade, incentives and tax relaxation.
"I appreciate all the efforts put together by different industrialists and environmentalists to work out for possible solutions to these burning issues", he said. "We are looking forward for such regular interaction with the concerned authorities where all problems were discussed thread-bare for the eco-friendly industrial development of the state".
The Chief Minister emphasized on the need to have a good liaison with the international community to find out a comprehensive planning to address different environmental issues against the challenges of climatic change.
"Our students and experts from both environment and industry from the state should voice these concerns in the international conferences. The disturbing effects of global climate change are quite apparent from the changing pattern of weather in the state," he said.
Surjit Singh Salathia, Minster for Industries and Commerce, said economic growth and pollution free environment should go hand-in-hand for the industrial development in the State. "These kind of events can play a major role in our journey of growth. Every recommendation needs to be looked upon for the benefits of the state and implemented accordingly for the pollution free industrialization.
Mehmood-ur- Rehman, Chairman Finance Commission, said that the effort for promotion of green industries should be widely accepted and promoted for the safeguard of the state. The industrial growth and environment needs to blend and revived which had received a major setback during the last two decades of conflict.
"Instead of ruing over the past, new employment packages of good consequences are in need and at the same time we have to learn lessons from the past.
Stressing on sincere efforts for heritage preservation of Kashmir, he said earlier valley would be the biggest producer of saffron in the world, even more than Iran which is not a case anymore. "The climate is same, but the intrusions are different. Kashmir would produce 30-40 tons of saffron in 1960s, now it is reduced to six tons only.
Saffron production of Iran had increased from 30 tons to over 140 tons, Rehman said. "This shows our apathy towards heritage preservation," he said.
Jaleel Ahmad Khan, Economic advisor to J&K government, said that keeping in view the fragile ecology of the state, the balance between eco-tourism and sustainable tourism need to be understood. "If we really want that the flow of tourism in Kashmir should increase then we have to ensure the protection of bio-diversity," he said.
About different recommendations for the possible solutions of J&K, he said that it is high time when the government should act very fast and start working in the most possible means.
"We are trying every effort to evacuate buildings, hotels, public properties and other industrial estates from troopers for the revamp of industrial development," Jaleel said. "To minimize the environmental degradation, we have constituted waste treatment plants at Lassipora and Khonmoh. We are still in the process of identifying at other industries."

Religion in America
Research Papers on Religion in America
Research papers on religion in America discuss the various religious beliefs within the USA.
As a nation founded on the principle that individuals should be able to practice their faith without any influence by the government, it is only natural that the United States possess a great deal of religious diversity. The definition serves as a useful starting point for an examination of religion in America, the contributions made to society by Christianity in particular, and the areas in which Christianity in America falls short of meeting the needs of its followers and of society in general. Additionally, this paper will look at some of the major challenges facing Christianity today.
As of 2014:
Nearly half the country identifies as Protestant
Nearly 21% identify as Catholic.
When coupled with the nearly 2% of Americans that identify as Mormon and the same number who identify as some other form of Christianity, more than 70% of the people in this nation are Christian.
Practitioners of Judaism only make up 2% of the nation
Muslims make up less than 1%
Interestingly enough, religion in the United States is often marked by an absence of religious beliefs such as:
Atheists, who believe there are no deities, make up more than 3% of the country;
Agnostics, believing that divine beings are unknowable, comprise 4%.
Even more striking is the fact that nearly 16% of Americans identify as having no religious beliefs of any kind, a number that is much closer to the number of people who practice a religion as common as Catholicism than many would believe.
Religion in the United States runs the gamut, despite the vast majority of people falling into expected categories of belief systems. What sets religion in the United States apart from religion in so many other countries is that, according to the foundational documents of the nation itself, the government is to keep out of religious matters. While there has been some crossover when it comes to particularly contentious moral and ethical issues, such as abortion and same-sex marriage, for example, the separation of church and state has long been largely upheld.
America, as a country of immigrants, has a population that reflects the religious makeup of the world. In this country one finds well-represented the three largest of the world's religions: Christianity, Judaism and Islam. In smaller but still very significant numbers one finds Buddhists, Hindus, Pagans and others representing hundreds of faiths.
Christianity is divided into more than a dozen branches.
Roman Catholics make up the largest single group of Christians
Major Protestant groups in America include:
the Southern Baptists
Episcopalians
Lutherans
Presbyterians.
Fundamentalist Christians
Following Christianity in numbers of adherents are the world's other two Abrahamic religions – Judaism and Islam. All three are monotheistic – they attest to the existence of a single God – and share many tenets and beliefs.
In addition to the three "major" American religions – Christianity, Judaism and Islam – this country is home to followers of so many religions that it is possible only to name a small fraction so as to give some idea of the scope of American religious diversity. Just a few of the religions represented in America are the Branch Davidians, the Christian Reformed Church in America, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, the Falun Gong, the Hare Krishnas and the Quakers.
America reflects the world from which it drew its population, with followers of most of the world's religions making up the American populace. The contribution made by all of these religious people, including Christians, has been significant. Today, the Catholic Church, in particular, is at a crossroads. It is a crisis that the Catholic Church can, and almost certainly will, weather. But prevailing will require strength and a great deal of soul-searching on the part of the church's leaders, and faith and strength on the part of the Church's followers. It remains to be seen what kind of Church will emerge from this crisis, but society stands to lose a great deal if the Church is significantly damaged by the present crisis.

Workflows that Work
Barksdale Bets It All on Changing Its Production Processes
By Greg Cholmondeley
Wayne Barksdale
Lots of companies are willing to tweak a process step or two to streamline their production workflows a bit; but who is willing to rip out existing equipment and processes and suspend business for three months to fundamentally change how they do business? Barksdale Portraits balanced the potential of leapfrogging ahead of the competition by three years to the risk of losing the company within a year and made the right call.
PODi is hosting a webinar with Wayne Barksdale, president of Barksdale Portraits, on Tuesday, March 22, where he will share his story of the company's experiences, its results, and insights into how and when to make such a gutsy decision. Here are some excerpts from a preparatory interview with him.
GC: Give me a little background about Barksdale Portraits up to the point where you decided to make this dramatic change.
WB: Barksdale Portraits produces school portrait packages, yearbooks and other printed photographic products for schools across the country. We were founded back in 1922 and were one of the originators of this industry. Back then, we built our own box cameras and painted our own portrait backdrops. Of course, our technology evolved over the years. We had even been digitally printing yearbooks on Xerox iGen4 presses for quite some time, but we were still using silver halide photographic printing technology on old Kodak RP30s for our portraits.
GC: So, why change, and why now?
WB: Well, the RP30s were 10 years past their useful end of life, were costly to run, and were environmentally unfriendly. We were familiar with digital printing from our yearbook division, but were waiting for the image quality to improve to a level acceptable for our portrait business. Let me be clear, by acceptable level, I mean that our customers needed to find it indistinguishable from the silver halide process. This meant not only print quality, but textured laminating as well. We were following the technology for the past four years and felt that it was finally ready.
GC: But why couldn't you do this incrementally?
WB: Well, for a couple of reasons. First, we would need to move from a roll-print to something that printed on sheets of paper. To be efficient we needed to redesign our product. We found that creating booklets of photos rather than envelopes of photos worked better for this type of system. That meant that we needed to redesign our product and to redesign our layout and handling processes, as well as to change our equipment. We couldn't afford to offer two different products with two different production staffs and we didn't have the space for two different production lines. Remember, it's not just the printing; it's everything including laminating, perfing, cutting, packing and shipping. Finally, we truly believed that if we changed things incrementally, our staff and customers would cling to their old ways making it hard to change the culture.
GC: So you had to shut down, implement your new approach, and get back up to speed. How long did that take?
WB: We planned and prepared for the transition as best we could for three or four months, timed it to occur over the summer, and were pretty much dead in the water for two to three months while equipment, software and processes were installed, set up, and while the production and quality consistency was brought up to satisfactory levels.
GC: That sounds like a rough summer but you're still in business. How did you recover?
WB: I won't kid you, it was painful. It's a big deal even if everything goes smoothly and, of course, we hit unexpected problems along the way; but we had incredibly dedicated people from Barksdale and from Xerox working 24/7 to make it happen. Some of our downtime was recouped because our new automated workflows reduced our packing and shipping from days to hours, but even so, we were one to two months behind and we lost some customers. By this point, however, we've gained new accounts and our new processes have made us much more profitable. We've eliminated 20 or so part-time and seasonal workers who used to do things like stuff photos into envelopes, and the printing costs alone dropped by 60 percent. We're doing well now, and we can explore new ideas for products and revenue streams we would never have been able to pursue before.
GC: You were migrating from silver halide to digital printing, but many of our PODi members are facing similar challenges migrating from offset to digital and, like you are finding that it's not just about the printing. I'm all about workflow and I understand that you use FreeFlow Core for automation and Xerox MatchAssure for color management. Tell me more about how you've implemented these systems and any insights you have about what you did right and what you wish you'd done differently.
WB: Oh, that's a much longer discussion. Why don't we save that for the webinar when I can also go into more depth about our experiences and how we see it affecting our business in the future?
Wayne and I will be presenting his story along with some industry-wide workflow information at the PODi Institute webinar titled "What Every Printer Needs to Know About Automation" on Tuesday, March 22 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. This webinar is free, but space is limited. Register today to reserve a seat.

Who writes all the stuff on this blog?
Go on then, tell us who you are.
I'm Matthew. Nice to meet you.
Cut out the pleasantries, buddy.
Oh, OK. What do you want to know?
Where you're from, etc, etc.
I'm from Oxfordshire, England. Um, could you be more specific with your questions? You're not a very good interviewer.
Alright, calm down. Why did you start blogging?
I wrote a dissertation about public libraries in America, and started a blog in 2013 called Libraries Connect Communities based on my research.
It was interesting, and I built up a following, but gradually I moved to writing more about my own life, so I left that blog behind and set up My Mashed Up Life instead.
What's My Mashed Up Life all about then?
Surely you know that by now?
I'm only here to ask the questions, buddy, not to think about it.
I see. Some friend you are.
Hey, I never said we were friends. Just answer the question, before we all fall asleep.
I created it to write about books, music and parenting, mostly. But sometimes other things creep in, like work, and wellbeing.
Not exactly groundbreaking, is it?
I never said it was groundbreaking. I just enjoy doing it, that's all.
Making connections with other bloggers and discovering their writing.
I suppose I should thank you for your time, but I can't be bothered.
Charming. Well, thanks for yours, you moron.

Hi guys. I'm interested the reliability of the roadster and Tesla in general since I'm considering a Model S. Hopefully you owners can share some insight.
1/ Do you use your car as a daily driver?
3/ What is the range you usually get from a full battery charge?
4/ how long does it take to charge your battery?
5/ has your battery performance/range changed over time?
6/ how often does the car break down or require service?
8/ how much does charging the car add to your electricity bill?
10/ if you had to do it all over again, would you still get the Roadster?
1. Yes. I drive my CLK63 once a month, whether it needs it or not.
2. I don't think it's aggressive. Apparently others do.
3. 180 standard, 233 range. But the correct answer is "it's always full in the morning".
4. It's always full in the morning.
5. Stable at the above figures for the last 18 months.
6. One problem just after delivery -- HVAC gas leaked out. One electrical problem that took ages to diagnose and 10c of wire to fix. One overheat due to fan connector. In 3 years. 3 annual services.
7. First service free (combined with the electrical problem). 2x$600.
8. Hard to tell; we installed solar at the same time and now pay a total of about $200/yr for electricity. Also charge at work sometimes.
9. Needed fans replaced once. That's common to a lot of roadsters, so they redesigned the fans later.
10. Actually, the Model S sig perf is more my kind of car. But keeping the roadster, my wife needs the model S trunk. But if there was no Model S, I would absolutely replace the roadster with another roadster if something happened to it today. And no second-guessing the original purchase at all. The roadster is almost incomparable.
11. (Of course it goes to 11!) Tesla people are fantastic to work with.

Excerpt from BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL - EASTERN EUROPEAN FOLKLORE BOOKSET
SLEEPY JOHN
ONCE there was a lad named John, and he used to go to sleep always and everywhere. One day he came to an inn where some farmers were feeding their horses. So he crept into the cart, lay down on the straw, and went to sleep. When the farmers had driven some distance, they noticed John asleep in the cart. They thought: "What are we to do with him? We have a beer cask here. We'll put him in it and leave him in the forest." So they shut him in the cask, and off they drove.
John went on sleeping in the cask for a long time. Suddenly he woke up and found himself in the cask, but he did not know how he had got into it, neither did he know where he was. There was something running to and fro near the cask, so he looked through the bunghole and saw a great number of wolves gathered under the rocks. They had flocked round, attracted by the human smell. One of the wolves pushed his tail through the hole, and Sleepy John began to think that the hour of his death was approaching. But he wound the wolf's tail round his hand. The wolf was terrified, and, dragging the cask after him, he ran after the rest of the wolves, who set off in all directions. Their terror grew greater and greater as the cask bumped after them. At last the cask struck against a rock and was smashed. John let go the wolf, who took himself off as fast as he could.
Now John found himself in a wild mountain region. He began walking about among the mountains and he met a hermit. The hermit said to him: "You may stay here with me. I shall die in three days. Bury me then, and I will pay you well for it."
So John stayed with him, and, when the third day came, the hermit, who was about to die, gave him a stick, saying: "In what-ever direction you point this stick, you will find yourself there." Then he gave him a knapsack, saying: "Anything you want you will find in this knapsack." Then he gave him a cap, saying: "As soon as you put this cap on, nobody will be able to see you."
Then the hermit died, and John buried him.
John gathered his things together, pointed the stick, and said: "Let me be instantly in the town where the king lives." He found himself there on the instant, and he was told that the queen would every night wear out a dozen pairs of shoes, yet nobody was able to follow her track. The lords were all flocking to offer to follow the queen's traces, and John went too. He went into the palace and had himself announced to the king. When he came before the king, he said that he would like to trace the queen. The king asked him: "Who are you?"
He answered "Sleepy John."
The king said: "And how are you going to trace her, when you are sleeping all the time? If you fail to trace her you will lose your head."
John answered that he would try to trace her all the same.
When the evening was come the queen went to bed in one room and John went to bed in the next room, through which the queen had to pass. He did not go to sleep, `but when the queen was going by he pretended to be in a deep slumber. So the queen lit a candle and scorched the soles of his feet to make sure that he was asleep. But John didn't stir, and so she was certain that he was asleep. Then she took her twelve pairs of new shoes and off she went.
John got up, put his cap on, and pointed with his stick and said: "Let me be where the queen is."
Now, when the queen came to a certain rock, the earth opened before her and two dragons came to meet her. They took her on their backs and carried her as far as the lead forest. Then John said: "Let me be where the queen is," and instantly he was in the lead forest. So he broke off a twig for a proof and put it in his knapsack. But when he broke off the twig it gave out a shrill sound as if a bell were ringing. The queen was frightened, but she rode on again. John pointed with his stick and said: "Let me be where the queen is," and instantly he was in the tin forest. He broke off a twig again and put it in his knapsack, and it rang again. The queen turned pale, but she rode on again. John pointed with his stick again and said: "Let me be where the queen is," and instantly he was in the silver forest. He broke off a twig again and put it into his knapsack. As he broke it, it gave out a ringing sound and the queen fainted. The dragons hastened on again till they came to a green meadow.
A crowd of devils came to meet them here, and they revived the queen. Then they had a feast. Sleepy John was there too. The cook was not at home that day, so John sat down in his place, and, as he had his cap on, nobody could see him. They put aside a part of the food for the cook, but John ate it all. They were all surprised to see all the food they put aside disappearing. They couldn't make out what was happening, but they didn't care very much. And when the banquet was at an end the devils began to dance with the queen, and they kept on dancing until the queen had worn out all her shoes. When her shoes were worn out, those two dragons took her on their backs again and brought her to the place where the earth had opened before her. John said: "Let me be where the queen is." By this time she was walking on the earth again, and he followed her. When they came near the palace he went ahead of the queen and went to bed; and, as the queen was going in, she saw him sleeping, and so she went to her own room and lay down and slept.
In the morning the lords gathered together and the king asked whether any of them had tracked the queen. But none of them could say "Yes."
So he summoned Sleepy John before him. John said:
"Gracious Lord King, I did indeed track her, and I know that she used up those twelve pairs of shoes upon the green meadows in Hell."
The queen stood forth at once, and John took from his knapsack the leaden twig and said: "The queen was carried by two dragons towards Hell, and she came to the leaden forest; there I broke off this twig and the queen was frightened."
The king said: "That's no good. You might have made the twig yourself."
So John produced the tin twig from his knapsack and said: "After that the queen drove through the tin forest, and there I broke off this twig. That time the queen grew pale."
The king said: "You might have made even this twig."
So John produced the silver twig and said: "Afterwards the queen drove through the silver forest, and when I broke off this twig she fainted, and so she was until the devils brought her to life again."
The queen, seeing that all was known, cried out: "Let the earth swallow me!" and she was swallowed by the earth.
Sleepy John got the half of the kingdom, and, when the king died, the other half too.

I just returned from NECON, the greatest little writer's con there ever was. You can check it out at http://campnecon.com/. I first attended this NECON in 2001 and discovered the family a family I never knew I had. I haven't missed one since then and don't intend on missing any in the future. This year I brought my 17 year old granddaughter Caitlighn (Cat) along and she is now the newest NECON fan in the family.
For those of us who attend NECON it is more of a reunion than a con and even though I only see a lot of these folks once a year I love them all. Now the only thing I can say is there are only 360 days to NECON 34.

(TeaParty.org Exclusive) – It's so ironic for Democrats to continue claiming that President Trump has been pushing the "big lie" about the election when nearly everything that comes out of their mouths are easily disprovable lies.
Just the fact that they say there was no fraud during the 2020 election is, as we all know, the biggest lie they've been telling but along with that are all the lies about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
There's good reason to believe that the entire ordeal was actually staged and instigated by the corrupt Deep State FBI with the purpose of criminalizing Trump and his supporters.
Aside from that, they've been pushing the narrative that Congress had to be evacuated from the Capitol because of the supposedly violent "insurrection." Turns out, that's been one big lie too.
In fact, the Washington Examiner revealed the real reason why Congress was evacuated back in February but Democrats have been sticking with their story.
It turns out that Congress was evacuated on Jan. 6 because a pipe bomb was found outside the RNC, not because of Trump supporters aimlessly wandering around the halls.
Amazingly, with all the security cameras around the Capitol, the culprit has never been found and arrested. Just another doing of the Deep State.
Back in February, the Washington Examiner reported that the "discovery of a pipe bomb outside the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington on Jan. 6 prompted police to evacuate two congressional buildings, not, as was believed, the attack on the US Capitol."
According to the outlet, Capitol Police learned of two pipe bombs on Capitol Hill "around the same time" as the supposed insurrection and that Capitol Police "responded to one bomb discovery by an RNC staff member at the organization's office, just a few blocks from the Capitol."
The other pipe bomb was investigated by Metro Police officers which was spotted outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters.
Because both departments had been called to investigate the pipe bombs, their ability to secure the Capitol building was apparently hindered, therefore, the US Capitol was evacuated.
"That resulted in the evacuation of two congressional buildings, the Cannon House Office Building, as well as one of the Library of Congress buildings. So it took extensive resources," then-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund said in a joint hearing before the Senate Rules Committee and Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee back in February.
"So the assault on the Capitol is not what caused the evacuations of those buildings? The discovery of those pipe bombs is what caused the evacuations of those?" asked Republican Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford.
"That is correct," said Sund.
Well would you look at that. The truth. Right there, plain as day, for everyone to see. Yet Democrats have continued to push the fake narrative that Congress was evacuated and had to run for their lives because of the violent "insurrection."
The left truly has no shame.

Corruption Researches
Global Corruption Barometer
National Integrity System
Incomplete asset declarations of members of the GNCC
Most of the members of the Georgian National Communications Commission (GNCC) have failed to provide a full list of companies owned by them and their family members in their asset declarations.
Kakha Bekauri was elected the Chairman of the GNCC in May 2017. TI Georgia also wrote about his undeclared assets last year, when he was a member of the GNCC, after which Mr. Bekauri corrected his declaration.
As for the declaration of 2017, Mr. Bekauri has failed to include a company owned by his stepson, Beka Jibladze, although he indicated Beka Jibladze as a family member. According to documents of the Public Registry, Mr. Jibladze has owned a 51% stake in Sante Medical Group LLC since 2012.
Kakha Bekauri is not the only member of the regulatory commission who has failed to completely declare his assets. One more member of the commission, Vakhtang Abashidze, failed to include the Chven da Shvilebi company, founded in 2014, in which he owns a 34% stake, in his declaration. He also failed to enter information about the entrepreneurial activity of his children. In particular, according to an extract from the Public Registry, Andria Abashidze owns:
33% stake in Adventus LLC;
100% stake in Ad Plus LLC;
33% stake in Universal Business Group LLC.
Vakhtang Abashidze has also failed to indicate a 33% stake of another of his son, Levan Abashidze, in Universal Business Group LLC.
A member of the commission, Eliso Asanidze, failed to provide information about the entrepreneurial activity of his husband in her declaration. Specifically, her husband, Davit Kutateladze, owns:
100% stake in Kera Travel LLC;
22% stake in Kera Group;
50% stake in K&M.
The Law of Georgia on Conflict of Interest and Corruption in Public Service obliges public officials to fill in asset declarations, which should also include information about their family members' property and stakes in enterprises, even in cases when the enterprises are not currently in operation.
And according to Article 355 of the Criminal Code of Georgia, failure to submit an asset declaration or intentional entry of incomplete or incorrect information therein "shall be punished by a fine or corrective labor from one hundred and twenty to two hundred hours, with deprivation of the right to carry out a particular activity for up to three years." However, law enforcement agencies do not respond to such cases.
From 2017, the Civil Service Bureau was tasked with monitoring asset declarations, although the agency will release the results at the end of the year. In addition, independent commission that will select and verify declarations that pose a high risk of corruption and are a subject of high public interest is yet to be set up. It is planned to set up this commission by 2018. Accordingly, it is still early to talk about the effectiveness of the monitoring of declarations.
TI Georgia calls upon public officials to exercise more responsibility when filling in asset declarations and urges the authorities to create an effective instrument for verifying declarations.

I really like your DNA disco diagram – it is a big improvement on the standard view. There is still one thing implied though that I find quite insidious: not all discoveries should lead to a live release. What if you do the discovery to test the idea you had, and discover it was illusory and not worth acting on, or that it was actually a terrible idea and the user research indicated it would only make things worse? I have the same problem at the alpha 'stage' – how often do teams think that to not take a 'prototype' into beta is a sign of failure? I've seen perfectly good *prototypes* that proved the way everyone _thought_ a project should go was plain wrong and needed a different approach be swept under the carpet – rather than be celebrated and learnt from by the wider organisation. I guess I am arguing that those diagrams need dead-ends.
Thanks Matt, I like the idea about dead ends. Maybe there's a drawing of this that branches out like a tree. The path we choose for a service is only one – and maybe not even the best – possible future.


Mountain Family Health Centers family nurse practitioner Jenny Lang interacts with 2-year-old Airam Briseno, who was at the health center with her mom, Gloria Gonzalez, for a check-up.
Mountain Family Health Centers is holding a Latino Health Fair at Basalt High School on Sunday, Nov. 5.
Participants will have access to a lab panel for $35, testing for blood, thyroid, liver and cholesterol health. The lab panel can be paid for with cash or a credit card.
Many free services will be available as well, including dental screening, teeth varnishing for children, blood pressure checks, testing for body mass index, testing for glucose and pulmonary function, as well as diabetes education.
The health fair will run from 8 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
For information on Mountain Family services, visit mountainfamily.org or call 970-945-2840.
Uncertainty over the direction of national immigration policy creates a cloud of fear that shows up in lots of different symptoms. It might be parents hesitant to attend school sporting events or an undocumented driver who flees the scene of a crash.
Local law enforcement leaders have repeatedly assured undocumented immigrants that they won't be targeted if they report crimes. The Garfield County sheriff and police chiefs worry that many immigrants will be victimized and never turn to law enforcement for help out of fear that they'll be deported.
That fear also keeps immigrants from seeking other kinds of services, even important medical treatments.
In the Roaring Fork Valley and Eagle County, Mountain Family Health Centers has been working to break down that barrier and actively seeks out and encourages immigrants to get the health care they need. The organization has been serving low-income families since the 1970s, and immigrant families are a big segment of the patients.
Its first clinic in the Roaring Fork Valley came to Glenwood Springs in the '90s, and over the past decade the Mountain Family network has grown rapidly to cover Garfield, Pitkin and Eagle counties.
Thousands of people in the community won't go to the doctor or apply for Medicaid because they fear it will mean putting their families at risk of deportation, he said. Immigrant families who are otherwise trying to keep a low profile will often first engage with their children's schools and their faith communities. Medical-care providers, on the other hand, are some of the last in line of institutions these families will be comfortable with, said Brooks.
One of the biggest challenges is simply getting these families in the door, so instead of waiting, the organization's solution is to go to them.
Making sure that people are getting basic primary care saves money for the health-care industry as a whole and taxpayers as a whole. Mountain Family's data shows that cutting down unnecessary emergency room and hospital visits save a little more than $15 million per year in the region, Brooks said.
The majority of Mountain Family's staff is bilingual, and many are first-generation immigrants themselves. Some are recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or they have children who are DACA recipients. So they have a unique ability to work one-on-one with these families and build trust.
"Our greatest marketing technique is word of mouth," said Brooks.
Mountain Family has eight clinics spread across Garfield and Eagle counties, with its main offices located in Glenwood. And its clinic in Basalt draws a lot of patients from Pitkin County as well. In total the organization serves 18,500 patients, and the organization has outreach and enrollment workers who can work with immigrant families at every clinic.
Mountain Family has outreach and enrollment workers who go out to the churches, especially Spanish-language churches, to connect with these families. The organization also works in partnership with Valley Settlement Project, which also works to bridge the gap and dispel myths for the valley's immigrant families, said Brooks. Once they've built that trust level, Valley Settlement refer patients to Mountain Family.
There's a significant fear that, even if their children are Medicaid-eligible or on Medicaid, simply bringing them into a clinic puts them at risk for deportation, or that immigration officials are going to raid an undocumented family member, he said.
Avoiding health care then leads to downstream costs; people spend more money because they're going to the hospital or emergency room unnecessarily, and ultimately people die earlier because they just won't come in, he said.
Across Mountain Family's service area are an estimated 36,000 people living below 200 percent of the federal poverty line, which is the mark Mountain Family considers less than a sustainable wage. For a single person, that's less than $24,000 per year, and for a family of four that's less than $49,000. And, of course, this is the Roaring Fork Valley with an extraordinarily higher cost of living, Brooks added.

Aerial Video Footage of Koreshan State Historic Site, Estero FL
Throughout its history, Florida has welcomed pioneers of all kinds. Cyrus Reed Teed was probably the most unusual, bringing followers to Estero in 1894 to build the "New Jerusalem" for his new faith, Koreshanity. The colony, known as the Koreshan Unity, believed that the entire universe existed within a giant, hollow sphere. The colony began fading after Teed´s death in 1908, and in 1961 the last four members deeded the land to the state. What remains of their once vibrant […]

The domes were built on the southern tip of Cape Romano in 1980 by retired independent oil producer, Bob Lee, as a DIY project. The dome home was ahead […]

With a recent collaboration with a maker of cross wedge rolling machines, Heiko Machine Tools LLC is poised to offer its customers high-end equipment for the metal-forming industry.
Although Heiko Machine Tools LLC has only been around for three years in name, the experience behind that name speaks volumes to the customers it serves in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
And one of the ways the company serves its customers so well boils down to communication, according to Heiko President Joseph Kemple.
"You've got to keep an open mind and your ear to the ground," he said.
Heiko sells and supplies high-end, high-value European equipment to the metal-forming industry, as well as supplying the necessary support from its manufacturers in Europe, Kemple said.
What has excited the Heiko staff recently is its collaboration with Smeral Brno a.s. in the Czech Republic.
Smeral had developed an efficient, high-speed gear blanking process using a rotary machine press, he said. When forging gear blanks, numerous steps and presses can be involved. Each step requires not only expensive presses, but tooling, loading/unloading, and the ensuing energy and labor costs.
As the cylinders rotate, the hot blank also rotates against the cylinders as it feeds through, according to Tomáš Doležel, Smeral's chief of commercial department.
The collaboration is expected to add a lot of value for Heiko's customers, according to Kemple. Heiko augments that support with its own technical team, which is proving to be an excellent combination.
And with Smeral's CWR technology, customers will see that it conserves material and reduces waste, Doležel said.
Heiko serves the forging industry; the steel industry, which includes bars, pipes and tubes; the energy industry; the heavy automotive industry, people making the trucks; and general manufacturing, Kemple said.
Kemple said Heiko also can supply machines for its customers that make chips.
This shows the part forms that attach to the rollers of the CWR machine.
Specifically for the gear industry, Heiko supplies straighteners, Kemple said.
Doležel said one of the challenges Smeral overcame was with the design of the forming tooling that covers the cylinders.
Kemple said Heiko has been impressed by the support it's getting from Smeral, and as a result, he is quoting some large projects right now.
But Heiko's employees are also tasked with being resourceful and "thinking outside the box" when it comes to giving customers what they need, according to Kemple.
Kemple noted a story of a sales meeting he attended before he came to Heiko. In that meeting, the company had turned down a customer because what they wanted didn't fit a pre-determined sales goal.
"The people within this one gear company made a decision based on information on a desk instead of listening to the customer, talking to the customer, and learning the customer's true business needs," he said.
And as the head of Heiko, Kemple said he has taken the lesson from that meeting to heart, because communication often can make all the difference.

January 3, 2011 – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given 510(k) clearance for software used for planning spot scanning. The XiO treatment planning software, from Elekta, is used with proton therapy, which helps clinicians deliver a highly targeted dose to a tumor.
Spot scanning is a proton therapy delivery method that involves constructing a highly conformal dose to the tumor by using thousands of small individual beamlets instead of a single large beam. This approach enables intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT).
The software provides tools to facilitate rapid positioning of spots to construct the dose to the tumor, in addition to a proven dose calculation algorithm to optimize each beam.
"The completely automated optimization of the spot deliveries allows clinicians to produce treatment plans with a high degree of conformality around the target, therefore, minimizing the dose to adjacent healthy tissue," said Virgil Willcut, vice president of product management, physics and research for Elekta treatment planning. "Spot scanning especially is important for pediatric patients since it provides better normal tissue sparing and lower neutron doses than conventional proton planning, both of which reduce the chance of radiation induced side effects for a cohort of patients that are still developing and have long life expectancies."
The software has been in clinical use for nearly a decade.


One of the questions I often ask in my capacity as coach is "what resonates with you?" That may be sort of woo-woo language, but it gets at something fundamental about feelings and desires, which, in turn can give us access to deep reserves of motivation and excitement around something.
To have something resonate with you is different than "liking" something or approving of it or wanting to do it. Resonance comes, I believe, from your gut, your instinct and is an internal nod of the head of sorts that says, "oh, yes; that fits." When I think of the concept of resonance, I picture really clearly the room in which I took yoga classes during my first pregnancy. As I got bigger and bigger, I had to modify more and more poses; even setting up for the final resting pose was an ordeal full of props and supports. But after an hour of working with my awkward body and finally getting into shavasana, I would sink into my blankets and listen to the Tibetan singing bowl the teacher rang. I love the sound of those bowls and how the room and the air and your body seem to vibrate at the same frequency as the bowl as you listen to it ring. That ringing sound filled the room and our bodies and "resonated." But not just with the people lying on their yoga mats. The fetus inside me, as she grew larger and more mobile, LOVED that sound. Every time the bowl would ring, my womb would shimmy and vibrate and do somersaults. The sound resonated that deeply within me.
What resonates with you at that deep level?
Some people might use Marie Kondo's notion of "sparking joy" as a synonym for resonating with. In her bestselling book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, Kondo has us walk through our homes and, according to category, pick up and HOLD every single thing we own. With the item in our hands, we are supposed to decide whether or not it sparks joy. Only those items that truly spark joy for us get to remain; everything else gets discarded or donated.
Of course, sometimes we have to hold onto, or keep doing, things that neither spark joy or resonate with us. The treadmill, the lawnmower, the long commute in traffic, appeasing a toxic boss, etc. I think what Kondo and I are both getting at, though, is that surrounding ourselves with things that spark joy in us and tasks that resonate with us is not only likely to make us happier, it is likely to make us more productive. Kondo claims that a home filled with only the essential things that spark joy will make your home environment peaceful and efficient (so much less cleaning around things!). (For the record, I think the first part of the book where you sort through your stuff is gold. Part II, where she explains how to follow the Kon-Marie method all the time left me completely cold. I will not fold my socks to look like wee cinnamon rolls. Nosiree.) I claim that investing as much time as possible in those activities and tasks that resonate with you and fill you up means that your best hours, your best time will be devoted to the things you are best at.
Yes, you have to do odious things occasionally. But don't spend your time trying to improve your performance in odious things. Don't say yes to things that don't spark joy. When you say yes to the tasks and activities and collaborations that elicit a resonant "yes!," then you are planning on spending your time in ways that leave you satisfied and connected and ready for more.


These 3mm gold fill beads are perfect as spacer beads on earrings, necklaces or bracelets. They are seamless beads so look beautiful from all angles. Gold filled or Rolled Gold (sometimes known as Goldfil) components are composed of a layer of 14 karat gold bonded onto a brass or copper core. The gold layer is 50 to 100,000 times thicker than on gold plated items and should last a lifetime. It is an excellent affordable alternative to pure gold and can usually be worn by people with base metal allergies. Often referred to as 14/20 GF meaning that 1/20th of the items weight is 14K Gold.

East London welcomes a new handball club with Hackney Council, London GD Handball Club and Badu Sports collaborating to establish Hackney GD Handball Club.
The new club is open to local and regional players and will compete in the England Handball Association's (EHA) U18 National League with two teams (boys and girls). The young players will be representing both the borough and London GD Handball Club's youth branch in the competitions.
Through the partnership, London GD Handball Club will provide Hackney GD with coaching support and extra training sessions at the Copper Box Arena, where the club is currently based.
The partnership was launched on Saturday 29 August during the Copper Box International Handball Cup where London GD Handball Club held a handball taster session for those under the age of 18.
About 40 children participated in the mixed level handball session. Most of the young players enjoyed the handball activities and some even voiced their ambitions to become stars of the next handball generation.
Marie Aubourg, London GD player and coach at the handball taster session said: "It was great to see so many kids enjoy playing handball and having fun with it." Aubourg also praised the children for their engagement and added that many of them showed great potential and team spirit.
From the tribunes, parents watched their children learn basic handball skills and become fully immersed in some real handball action on the court.
Although immensely popular in continental Europe, handball remains a fairly unknown grassroots sport in the UK.
London GD Handball Club has worked on several grassroots programmes since the 2012 London Olympics where Great Britain made their debut on the Olympic handball stage.
Being one of the oldest and most successful handball clubs in the UK for senior players, London GD Handball club strives to become an exit route for young handball players who are looking to progress and have the opportunity to play at the highest level within both club and national team competitions.
Hackney junior handball player, Yebila Collins expressed delight over the partnership finally coming to fruition and said the players 'look forward to attracting more youngsters into the world of handball'.
Hackney GD Handball Club will start its weekly junior handball trainings at the Copper Box Arena on Tuesday 1 September from 6-7 pm.
Find more information about the club on its official website.
