Are you teaching a large class?
Here are ten tips to make sure it is a success for both you and your students.
When you have a large class, there will naturally be more disorder, more energy, more chaos in class. This can be distracting and a source of wasted time in your too few minutes. To combat this, establish routines. Key for keeping your class in order is that students know what to do. The less time you spend on giving directions, the more time your class will have for learning. Get in the habit of starting your large class the same way every day and doing the same types of activities in the same order. Post your schedule if you like. This will ensure your students know what to do and will minimize lost time between activities.
One great advantage of large classes is the potential diversity for small group make-up. You can put your students in discussion groups every day of the week and not have the same group twice. That's a great advantage, for your students will learn something different from each person they work with in such a group. If you have a class of internationals, talking with people of different native languages will improve your students listening comprehension and teach them to understand different accents. No matter what language they speak, other students might be a great source of grammar skills, vocabulary, or just about any other aspect of language. So take advantage of your large numbers and have lots of discussion time making sure you mix up your groups frequently.
It's okay to assign different projects to different groups of students. Generally, having one class means giving all of your students the same requirements and/or assignments. When you have a large class, odds are you have different skill levels within it, even if everyone is intermediate level, for example. It's okay to give different assignments to different groups of students. And it doesn't need to affect how you grade unless you want it to. Try giving students the same TYPE of assignment but not the same content. For example, have all of your students do a research report, but have your lower level students use three resources while your higher level students use five. Or have everyone do a class presentation, but require an extra two minutes from your more advanced students. And if you're worried about harder assignments leading to lower grades, just grade on a curve for the more difficult assignments.
This may go without saying, but when you teach a large class it's important to learn your students' names. If students choose English names, it might not be that difficult to remember twenty, thirty, or more, but even if they stick with the names they were given at birth you will still need to learn them. Try taking a picture of each student and putting it into your seating chart with their name beneath it. That will not only help you learn their names but will be a great asset to any substitute you might need during the course of your class.
Keeping desks and chairs in rows and columns is pretty standard, but in your large class students may feel they are lost in an ocean of classmates. To make your class feel more like a community and to encourage relationships between your students, arrange your student desks into larger tables or groupings. This will give students a smaller group to relate to on a regular basis, and the eye contact they are sure to make will encourage relationships and friendships. Besides, when you put desks together into larger table type arrangements, it will clear up some floor space in your classroom so you can devote it to other uses.
Everybody likes a little competition, don't they? Take advantage of this in your large class and set up some teams among your students. Divide your class into three or four teams, and award points to each team based on in class activities and outside work. If you play a game, use those teams and award points to winners. If students will perform a skit, use those same teams and award points for successful execution. You can even use your teams for debates, vocabulary challenges, homework motivation… just about anything. After a month or two or however long you choose to keep your teams, tally up the total points and give a prize to the winning team. Then switch things up again and start the competition anew.
While you are dividing your class into teams, feel free to give each team a captain. That will give you and your students a point person to go to. When you need to distribute papers, have your captains come up. When groups work together to complete an assignment, your captain can lead the charge. You will find many ways your team captains can help you and their teammates throughout the day. And remember to change captains at least as often as you change your teams.
You are the point person in your class. Not only are you up front more than anyone else, your students view you as the source of the knowledge they need. You also, in large part, determine the personality of your class, and you might be the only native English speaker your students get to talk to. They will want to connect with you. It's important, then, that you make a point of getting to know individual students so each student has a connection to you. Start with learning their names, but go further than that. Your students want to know you. Let them have the chance, and make sure you have one on one contact with each student every week if not every day.
Keeping track of student performance in class can be tough when all of your desks are full. Here's a trick to make sure you don't forget what you observe in class. Use post its to make notes of student participation, areas of struggle, or anything else you think of during class but will probably forget before the end of the day. Keep a pad of sticky notes with you throughout the day. When you notice a student doing something right (or wrong) write their name on the sticky and what you observed. Then deposit the post it on your desk and have the next one handy for your next observation. At the end of the day, you will have a thorough and reliable record of how your students performed throughout the day that you can transfer to your grade book or use to plan tomorrow's lesson. You will also have an idea of anything your students are struggling with that you will need to review tomorrow.
One of the most important things you can do for your large class is be sure every student gets a chance to participate. Quieter students may find themselves getting lost in the mix of your large class, so whatever you can do to make sure these students participate fully will be key for their success as well as yours. Invite shy students to speak. Make sure you have a friendly and supportive atmosphere in class.
And know that even though your numbers might be large, your students will still be increasing their English skills.


These days Disney is a real vault of secrets. More than any other studio out there, it seems almost impossible to get any real details on their projects. Sure, every now and then we get a series of rumors and such, but it's really hard to find details that you can really stand on — especially for the actors involved. Considering how soon we'll be getting Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and considering how very little we still know about it, that's quite the testament to the power of the House of Mouse.
But, of course, that doesn't stop us from asking and prying the talent involved. As of right now, one of the biggest question marks on the Star Wars horizon is the Han Solo film. We know a few cast members involved, and even some very minor broad strokes details, but little else. One of the big names that's been attached to the project has been Woody Harrelson, and speaking with Evening Standard, Harrelson gave oh-so-minor details on his character, who we know is named Beckett.
We have to wonder if this good heart extends to his relationship with Han. In the former Star Wars expanded universe, there was one mentor-like character named Garris Shrike, who wasn't above beating Solo, resulting in a strained relationship. Given Han's personality, that type of interpretation wouldn't feel out of place, but given the fact that Garris is no longer canon, Disney and Lucasfilm have room to change this character to whatever they see fit.
But we can't dismiss the possibility of Beckett having a similar relationship. It's very possible that "good at heart" can be code for, "Yeah he beats kids, but he's still a softie somewhere down there." Actors need to find some aspect of their characters to sympathize with, otherwise their portrayal could become disingenuous. All in all, this quote from Harrelson is not really all that helpful in bringing any meaningful thoughts to life on the character.
The currently-untitled Han Solo film hits theaters on May 25, 2018.


Who out there eats the exact same thing for breakfast nearly every morning? Show of hands? I don't know about you, but both of my hands are high in the sky. What do I eat? Only the yummiest, healthiest, delicious-ist porridge there was! Steel cut oatmeal.
Each morning, I wake up, put on the tea kettle, and bring a pot of milk to boil. Then I add my oats and let them cook while I get ready. When I'm completely ready to go, the oats are done! It's fantastic timing really.
Why steel-cut oats as opposed to rolled oats? Well, I read somewhere that they were dramatically better for you and less processed. While this article confirms the latter, I've yet to see anything else supporting the former. In fact, this one states that they're pretty much identical in nutritional and environmental impacts. Though steel-cut may have more fiber according to these guys. So really, who knows? What pretty much everyone can confirm though is that oatmeal is pretty dang good for you. So eat it. There.
I used to buy these steel-cut oats at Trader Joes before I started shopping in Berkeley Bowl's bulk foods section where they are so much less expensive. Sometimes I will pick up the McCann's tin at Trader Joes though, simply because I adore the can they come in. I've used several to house plants over the years. I'm a sucker for a pretty tin.
I stick to steel cut oats though because of their longer cook time. I know, sounds crazy, right? But really, it's less time for me in the kitchen. How is that possible? Well when something needs to come to a boil, have grain added, and cook for a while longer and all of that happens in fifteen minutes? You have to be in the kitchen over the stove for that entire fifteen minutes. Right now, I wait for my milk to boil and then add my oats an leave. It's a five minute process. Making my thirty-five oatmeal takes me less time than fifteen-minute oatmeal. Less time than frying a couple eggs. It sounds crazy, but it's the truth. So before you judge steel cut oats on their long cook time, give it a try. It might just save you time.
I add chia seeds on top of mine for a little extra crunch and a banana for sweetness. That way I don't add any sugar to my breakfast and get a little fruit too. If you do feel like you need a little honey in your life, a teaspoon will make this oatmeal completely delish.
First put your milk in a small pot over medium-high heat on the stove. Add your dash of salt. When the milk first begins to steam and forms tiny bubbles along the edges of the pan, add the steel cut oats, cinnamon, and cloves. Stir together and turn heat down to a simmer. Stir occasionally. Let cook for approximately twenty-five minutes. Oatmeal and milk should combine into a porridge. Remove from heat and add chia seeds and banana. Eat!
Do you have oatmeal every morning for breakfast? Love it? Hate it?

Bird poisoning poachers at Bunyala, poison with a vengeance preventing overtaking of the wild bird meat market by other established anti-poisoning schemes. We intend to recruit at least 10 additional poachers-turned-poultry farmers who will help to further reduce bird poisoning, increase supply and success of poultry sales locally, ultimately creating a more competitive market in comparison with bushmeat sales. These will be involved in strategic activities to assimilate them in a poultry farming scheme following the same model as an earlier established poultry farming venture managed by local women.
These will include dialogues and interviews between the poachers and the PI that will provide information that will help us to better understand the poachers and their poisoning activities so that we know how to additionally help them during this project and in future. It is anticipated that these talks will form a better relationship between poachers and the project with its various factions including scouts and the PI thereby persuading poachers to be harmoniously engaged in a poultry scheme that will be set up for them. Further, the poachers will be educated about the dire consequences of poisoning and trained on poisoning response protocol to prevent the dire effects of poisoning in the environment.
The outcomes of this project will include various publications to illustrate the bird poison-hunting problem, a proliferating and self-sustaining poultry venture, curtailed supply of poisoned bird meat and thriving birdlife, human and general environmental health.

Is it true that the online editing video makes money?
It's not hard to imagine that it was a strategy that Ryuuen was attempting to carry out. And the fact that this strategy has no chance of succeeding is something the history of the school lays out.
To save up an estimated amount of 800 million private points is very unrealistic. I had thought Ryuuen was attempting to execute a strategy of saving up points either for himself only or for those close to him as well. He only let go of those private points on the rooftop because he had been intent on dropping out, and once he had chosen to remain enrolled, I had expected him to begin acting again to save up private points.
However, judging from Ibuki's state, it appears Ryuuen had been saving up private points as part of a strategy to allow his entire class to win out. Certainly, by existing as a tyrant, there is a need to provide appropriate compensation in return, but at the end of the day, he could have made such a thing null and void. Because such a clear promise to do so, should not have remained behind as a record in the first place.
Tips, opportunities to make money:What platforms can be made to make money online?
"Or could it be that you were only pretending to be saving up 800 million?".
If he's been deceiving even Ibuki, then this conversation will end with this.
"Even if by any chance, the points you possess right now are exhausted the contract you've made with Class A still remains. Factoring in the 800 thousand points per month, there's still 25 months left to go. Calculations that allow you to barely make it in time for graduation. If you take into account the private points you receive every month, it can save you slightly more time. Don't lust for any more than that".
Now with this, Ryuuen can openly follow the system, get promoted up to Class A and graduate. Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Class A does not collapse, and he'll need to avoid any unnecessary expenditure but it's not too difficult a task.
"Ayanokouji. You're certainly very smart and very talented. But even so, you're still far from being perfect".
Tips, opportunities to make money:Online and lower eggs
Not as a joke, but rather as if ridiculing me, Ryuuen said that. But his tone was not a joking one. In other words---there is a way to save up 800 million points, is what it would mean.
"Are you telling me you have a secret measure to raise up the whole class, Ryuuen?".
"Listen up, the amount of private points being moved around within a year is colossal. Assuming there are no expulsions, each school year has about 160 people. Combining all three school years together add up to 480 people. If I can extort 100,000 points per month from them all, that alone gives me 48 million points. If I can get more than 200,000 points per month it'll add up to 100 million".
If he continues doing that for 8 months, then he'll get about 800 million. Is he saying it's not merely a dream to reach that objective? Even if it's enough according to the calculations, it's not something that's executable. Even a theoretical, impracticable theory has a limit. Even the strategy of utilizing deception and fraud will strengthen surveillance from the school once a large amount of points begin to move.
Even if all the students successfully got caught in his clever scheme and have points extorted from them every month, 100 million is the limit. As I thought, it's impossible.

While this group of children remains young the staff support them to develop their independence. The staff are aware that children will shortly be wanting greater freedom. They are helping children to learn how to keep safe in the community and online. It is good to note that plans are pertinent to each child, for example the one for the youngest child differs to those for the older children."
Balmoral House is registered to provide residential care to three boys aged between 8 and 14. However, we will restrict the age range appropriately at the time of each vacancy to ensure effective matching with the other young people sharing the home.
The primary focus of Balmoral House is to work with younger boys who have experienced multiple previous placement breakdowns and/or childhood trauma and are in need a period of emotional stability and professional intervention. Placement goals are often a phased return to the family home or a family foster placement. In some cases, it is deemed by the professionals with case responsibility that a young person will have their needs better met in a residential placement on a longer-term basis. This may be due to the young person not wishing to make the emotional investment necessary in a foster placement, or that their presenting concerns would be too demanding for a foster carer to manage on a 24/7 basis.
No matter what goals are identified in individual care plans, the aim of the home is to provide a safe, nurturing environment in which children and young people can maximise their full potential.
Balmoral House is located close to Margate's popular harbour area, family beaches, parks and coastal paths, providing a range of local age appropriate amenities and activity opportunities for children and young people throughout the year.
The staff team at Balmoral House are experienced in working with children and young people presenting with a range of social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD) and adopt a positive re-parenting approach, focussing on the development of mutually trusting and respectful relationships, together with unconditional positive regard for the staff team and young people alike. The team have a developed understanding of behaviour being a form of communication and employ strategies to identify the underlying reasons for behaviour so that it can be modified accordingly.

I Lleroy sono un gruppo musicale con sonorità vicine al post-hardcore ed al noise rock. Provenienti da Jesi, i Lleroy sono parte della scena rock marchigiana assieme a gruppi come Drunken Butterfly, Butcher Mind Collapse, Lush Rimbaud, Dadamatto, Lebowsky e Tetuan..

Storia del gruppo
Il gruppo nasce nel 2000 dall'incontro di Francesco Zocca(chitarra/voce), Marco Pasqualini(basso) e Riccardo Ceccacci(batteria). Il gruppo, inizialmente vicino alle sonorità grunge di seattolinana memoria, sviluppa in seguito una personale forma di post hardcore dai forti accenti rumoristici.

A nome Raptus nel 2003 registrano il loro primo album dal titolo Raptus, autoprodotto e mai uscito.

A nome Lleroy nel 2008 con al basso Giacomo Zocca inizia il connubio con la Bloody Sound Fucktory, pubblicando il loro primo vero album dal titolo Juice Of Bimbo, in cui le sonorità dell'Hardcore punk prima maniera vengono caricate da effettistica per chitarre ed una ritmica più complessa.

Nel 2013 con l'ingresso di Chiara Antonozzi al basso, i Lleroy pubblicarono Soma sempre per la Bloody Sound Fucktory, che vedeva per la prima volta nei loro dischi l'utilizzo dell'italiano come lingua ed un suono decisamente più radicato nelle sonorità noise rock.

Pickets arrive at L.A. International Airport
A "cooling-off period" for cleaners and baggage handlers at Los Angeles International Airport has ended with a picket line.
Members of a Service Employees International local hit the bricks Friday at terminals housing Northwest, Alaska and Continental airlines.
It's the first protest since Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa brokered the cooling-off period.
Spokesman Mike Chavez says the union wants the airlines to pressure a subcontractor into reaching a new contract with the workers, who make an average of $10 an hour.
He says talks with the company, Aviation Safeguards, aren't going well.
The union has reached tentative agreements with three other companies and Chavez says talks with five others are making progress.

Puli Inji is a sweet and sour pickle made with fresh ginger, green chillies and jaggery. It is an essential part of a Kerala sadya / feast.

A man, Joseph Austin Smith, in Kansas tragically died after his dog fatally shot him in the back while on a hunting trip
A man in Kansas tragically died after his dog fatally shot him in the back while on a hunting trip. Officials say the freak hunting accident occurred over the weekend as 30 year old Joseph Austin Smith took his dog on a hunting trip.
Smith, who is originally from Wichita, was killed in his car after his dog stepped on his rifle, causing the firearm to discharge and fire a round into his back. Officials with the Sumner County Sheriff's Office say the incident occurred around 9:40 a.m. on Saturday (January 21) in the 1600 block of 80th Street, in the north-northeast area of Geuda Springs. The sheriff's office said that upon arrival, they found the man sitting in the front passenger seat of his pickup truck, and was dressed in hunting gear. They started to administer CPR immediately, but he was shortly pronounced dead at the scene.
According to the Sumner County Sheriff's Office, "A canine belonging to the owner of the pickup stepped on the rifle causing the weapon to discharge. The fired round struck the passenger who died of his injuries on scene. The investigation is ongoing, but the preliminary investigation shows it to be a hunting related accident." Elsewhere, it is reported, via data from the Gun Violence Archive, that there have been 101 unintentional shootings in the United States, since the beginning of 2023. In 2022, there were more than 1,600 unintentional shootings reported. And so far in 2023 (just 24 days in), there have been more than 2,400 gun deaths recorded.

Why did you write I Love You Three?
Because the characters pretty much insisted!
As I was writing the first Green Pines Romance, Reclaiming Home, I found myself falling in love with Mac and Julie, a young couple who featured briefly in that story. I kept wondering how those two had met. Then I wrote another Green Pines Romance, and there they were again! So when I started hearing from readers how much they liked Julie and Mac as well, so I knew I had to write their story.
So this is part of a series?
It's the newest in my Green Pines Romance series, but chronologically, it happens before any of the others.If you want to read them in chronological order, it would be: I Love You Three, The Kampala Peppermint Twist, Reclaiming Home and Sweet Blizzard.
Was there any one person who was your inspiration for either of the main characters?
I'm not saying! What I will say is Julie's ex-mother-in-law is nothing like mine. I have an ex-mother-in-law, too, and she is still one of the most wonderful blessings in my life.
In this book, you deal with post-traumatic stress disorder. What made you tackle this subject?
I grew up in a war zone, falling asleep to the sound of gunfire almost every night. I survived a terrorist attack. So PTSD is something I deal with every day. And I'm surrounded by ex-military men. So to me, it's more like what took me so long to write about it?
When do you write? Is it easier to write in the morning or at night?
I'm so busy with my family, I have to write any chance I get, no matter what time it is!
You can get it now on preorder now at Amazon.
I love You Three releases on February 7, 2017 and it should be available then at all major e-book retailers — iBooks, Nook, Kobo, etc.

Authorities investigate accusations that Ryanair flies with near-empty fuel tanks
Oliver Smith, The Daily Telegraph
- Sep 19, 2012 11:21 am
A series of unexpected landings in Spain have led authorities to question whether Ryanair has taken its cost-cutting practices too far and put all fliers at risk by flying with far too little fuel.
Ryanair is facing an investigation by aviation authorities in Ireland and Spain following accusations that the airline is "courting disaster" by flying with near-empty fuel tanks in a bid to cut costs.
The Irish DOT reports RyanAir's safety standard are on par with the rest of Europe. Photo by Mikel Ortega.
The decision came at a meeting in Dublin yesterday and follows a series of incidents in Spanish airspace involving the no-frills carrier.
On Sunday, a flight from Paris to Tenerife was diverted to Madrid due to a technical issue; on Saturday, a Ryanair flight was diverted to El Prat airport in Barcelona because of an engine fault; and on July 26 three Ryanair aircraft were forced to make emergency landings in Valencia after drawing near to their minimum legal level of fuel. EU rules require commercial aircraft to carry sufficient fuel to cope with various contingencies – such as unexpected delays or re-routing to other airports.
The investigation will focus on the most recent episode, but authorities are already looking into the other incidents.
"As an example of this increased cooperation it was agreed that the circumstances of a specific incident in Madrid airport on September 16 would be jointly examined," said Ireland's Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and the Spanish Ministry of Development in a joint statement.
Ryanair has said the July landings were a result of bad weather, and insists that its planes are safe, and comply fully with all EU safety procedures.
IALPA, the Irish pilots' union, has accused the airline of putting pressure on flight crews to carry the minimum amount of fuel required under European regulations, while earlier this month the European Cockpit Association said that pilots were being encouraged to make decisions based on "factors other than safety". Meanwhile the Spanish minister Ana Pastor, who oversees aviation safety, has called for tighter safety regimes at low-cost airlines.
Ryanair has rejected both unions' claims, and has also accused Spanish aviation authorities of falsifying information on incidents involving its aircraft – an accusation rejected by officials in Spain.
Following yesterday's meeting the Irish department of transport said: "The Irish authorities gave an assurance of the Irish Aviation Authority's rigorous oversight of Ryanair's operations and of their satisfaction with Ryanair's safety standards which are on a par with the safest airlines in Europe."
A spokesman from Ryanair said it had "invited the Spanish Ministry to send a team of inspectors to Dublin to correct any (misplaced) concerns about Ryanair's compliance with Europe's highest operating and maintenance standards by providing them with unfettered access to Ryanair operating, maintenance and flight training facilities and unlimited access to Ryanair's safety, flight management, engineering and maintenance personnel."
"We welcome [yesterday's] joint statement from the Irish and Spanish Governments which affirms that Ryanair's safety standards are on a par with the safest airlines in Europe," he added.

Q: prepareForSegue in SWRevealViewController with Swift I'm trying to write prepareForSegue in SWRevealViewController with Swift.
Here is my code:
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue!, sender: AnyObject!)
{
    if(segue!.identifier == "segueName")
    {
        var someText = "Text"
        var rvc:newViewController = segue!.destinationViewController as newViewController
        rvc.topText = someText
    }
}

In newViewController I have topText as NSString
Of course I got nil text because I should make SWRevealViewControllerSegue but I don't know how it should look in Swift

A: I've found the solution.
First of all need to configure SWRevealControllerSegue. In swift it should looks like:
    if(segue.isKindOfClass(SWRevealViewControllerSegue))
    {
        var rvcs: SWRevealViewControllerSegue = segue as SWRevealViewControllerSegue
        var rvc:SWRevealViewController = self.revealViewController()

        rvcs.performBlock = {(rvc_segue, svc, dvc) in
            var nc:UINavigationController = dvc as UINavigationController
            rvc.pushFrontViewController(nc, animated: true)
        }
    }

Second. XCode beta works bad right now with IBOutlet and segue like this. With variable everything is ok.

A: override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {

    if(segue.isKindOfClass(SWRevealViewControllerSegue))
    {
        var rvcs: SWRevealViewControllerSegue = segue as SWRevealViewControllerSegue
        var rvc:SWRevealViewController = self.revealViewController()

        rvcs.performBlock = {(rvc_segue, svc, dvc) in
            var nc:UINavigationController = self.revealViewController().frontViewController as UINavigationController
            nc.setViewControllers([dvc], animated: true)
            self.revealViewController().setFrontViewPosition(FrontViewPositionLeft, animated: true)
        }
    }

}

A: This doesn't work with the latest version. The release notes state:

Took a cleaner approach to storyboard support. SWRevealViewControllerSegue is now deprecated and you should use SWRevealViewControllerSegueSetController and SWRevealViewControllerSeguePushController instead.

There aren't any swift examples anywhere I can find that explain this though.
The performBlock method no longer exists.
Appreciate any help. It seems impossible to do swift without first learning objective c at the moment :)

A: What was newViewController? This should work:
override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue!, sender: AnyObject!)
{
    if(segue.identifier == "segueName")
    {
        let someText = "Text"
        let rvc = segue.destinationViewController as SWRevealViewController
        rvc.topText = someText
    }
}

Practicing Picigin on Bačvice beach in Split
Four years ago I was in Split in Croatia, catching up with my sister, Vanessa.
She'd come from Australia with her husband to holiday there, so we figured we'd take the opportunity to pop over from London and catch up.
On our last day in Split we took a wander along the coast in the south of the city to Bačvice Beach.
Bačvice Beach is set on a pretty cove and is famous for its sandy beach and shallow water.
Bačvice Beach gets pretty packed in the summer. But on this chilly April morning it was practically deserted. Young mothers pushed babies in strollers and a group of men in speedos were practicing Picigin.
Picigin is a traditional ball game particular to Split and to Bačvice Beach itself.
It is played in shallow water with a ball the size of a tennis ball, with the object being to use your hand to bat the ball from person to person without it ever touching the water.
Legend has it that the game was invented in 1908 when a group of Croatian students were set to go to a water polo tournament in Prague but had nowhere to practice.
There are no rules to Picigin, as such. It involves several players standing in a circle with two players called sidruni, anchors, because they do not move.
But there are no winners or losers, no points scored, no opposing sides.
It's just a fun, relaxing game, where participants get to show off extravagant leaps and acrobatic manoeuvres.
The guys we saw playing Picigin were practicing on the sand beach and giving it everything that they'd got.
I asked one of the players why they weren't playing in the water and he said it was too cold at this time of the year.
I said that I'd heard that it was played on New Year's Day every year regardless of the weather.
He rightly pointed out that it wasn't New Year's Day.

Q: How to pass props from parent to grandchild in vue Instead of hardcoding props, I would love to just pass arbitrary number and types of props from parent to grandchild.
I tried this:
<FileListRenderless v-bind="$props" v-on="$listeners">
<!-- <FileListRenderless :attachments="attachments" :isEditMode="isEditMode" :type="type"> -->

which works nicely, but I still have to define them in props object in child component. How to also abstract assigning to props object of child component as well ?

A: If you'd rather not define the props explicitly in the child component then you should just pass the props as an object like:
<FileListRenderless :my-props="$props" v-on="$listeners">

This bypasses the prop validations built in. You can do the same thing with your listeners, just manually attaching them on component mount. However, I would recommend you rethink your design if you need to do this. If you have a huge range of possible props then you may want to find a way to abstract certain logic out, make factory components, use directives, or use mixins. There are lots of tools in the Vue toolkit.

A: Without any more context, I'd recommend passing all props down with v-bind="$props". as you've done.
You can also use a bus or vuex, but these would create global-level variables, which is not always ideal.

The BBC will "temporarily suspend" the work of all its BBC News journalists and support staff in Russia.
This follows the news that new legislation has been passed by the Russian authorities, which BBC director general Tim Davie said appeared to "criminalise the process of independent journalism".
The Russian parliament approved the law on Friday. It would make it a criminal offence punishable by up to 15 years in prison to spread "fake" or "false" news about the Kremlin's war in Ukraine.
It comes after the Kremlin accused the BBC of playing a "determined role in undermining the Russian stability and security".
Davie said:
It leaves us no other option than to temporarily suspend the work of all BBC News journalists and their support staff within the Russian Federation while we assess the full implications of this unwelcome development.
Our BBC News service in Russian will continue to operate from outside Russia.
Davie said the safety of the BBC's staff was paramount and they are are "not prepared to expose them to the risk of criminal prosecution simply for doing their jobs".
He continued:
I'd like to pay tribute to all of them, for their bravery, determination and professionalism.
We remain committed to making accurate, independent information available to audiences around the world, including the millions of Russians who use our news services. Our journalists in Ukraine and around the world will continue to report on the invasion of Ukraine.

Here's a roundup of Friday afternoon's news in response to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, as the BBC has stopped its news operation in Russia.
The BBC will "temporarily suspend" the work of all its BBC News journalists and support staff in Russia. This is after new legislation has been passed by the Russian authorities, which imposes a jail term of up to 15 years for people who intentionally spread "fake" information about Russia's armed forces.
The Metropolitan police's war crimes team is gathering evidence in relation to alleged war crimes in Ukraine to support the international criminal court (ICC) investigation, the force said.
The shelling of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant has been strongly condemned by both the foreign secretary Liz Truss and defence secretary Ben Wallace. Truss called it a "completely reckless act".
The foreign secretary, Liz Truss, has asked government lawyers to "find literally any way" to crack down on "Slapps" – or strategic lawsuits against public participation – where the wealthy exploit lengthy and expensive legal procedures to silence journalists, critics and watchdogs.
The Disasters Emergency Committee's (DEC) Ukraine appeal has raised 55 million in its first day.The total includes "generous" donations from the Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge, DEC said.
Priti Patel has said Ukrainians fleeing into Poland were escaping "the most atrocious set of circumstances where they are being persecuted by President Putin".
Boris Johnson is concerned for the safety of the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, Downing Street has said. The prime minister has regularly spoken to the Ukrainian leader and has expressed his personal admiration of him.
Former prime minister Gordon Brown criticised Russia for not making a statement regarding safety on the nuclear power station in south-eastern Ukraine it has taken control of, saying that is a "failure to respond to the pleas of the international community".
That's it from us for today. For the latest news on Ukraine, follow our dedicated live blog:

Here's a bit more detail from Reuters about the legislation that has prompted the BBC to suspend its work in Russia:
Russia's upper house of parliament approved a draft law on Friday that would impose a jail term of up to 15 years for people who intentionally spread "fake" information about Russia's armed forces, the TASS news agency reported.
The bill will become law once President Vladimir Putin signs it, as he is widely expected to do. Moscow says it is fighting back in what it casts as an information war with the West over the conflict in Ukraine.
Meanwhile The Moscow Times reports that the document was adopted unanimously.
Examples of "fakes" about military operations that are punishable by up to 15 years in prison were provided to the lawmakers including the use of old photos of burned military equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces that have been photoshopped to have markings of the Russian military.
The explanatory note to the bill also states that Ukrainian media is using footage of the devastation in the Donbas region from 2014-2015 and passing it off as crimes perpetrated by the Russian military in order to "create a global negative image of Russia as a 'bloody aggressor' and whip up panic in society."
The news about the BBC suspending operations in Russia comes amid a debate about the Kremlin-backed RT news channel, formerly known as Russia Today.
Broadcasting watchdog Ofcom has opened 27 investigations into the "due impartiality" of programmes broadcast on the channel.
Meanwhile culture secretary Nadine Dorries has said RT should lose its licence and "never again" be able to broadcast "poisonous propaganda".
But Liz Truss, the foreign secretary, warned earlier this week that the BBC risked being banned in Russia if RT was shut down in the UK.
Reports that BBC News services were being blocked in Russia prompted the broadcaster to issue a statement on Friday morning, saying it would "continue our efforts to make BBC News available in Russia, and across the rest of the world".
It also shared a link to an article reminding viewers that its Ukrainian and Russian language services are available on the dark web.
The BBC has made its international news website available through the Tor network, a privacy-focused software used to access the dark web, in a bid to thwart censorship attempts.
The team is part of counter-terrorism command and has "national responsibility for carrying out any UK enquiries into war crimes and core international crimes".
Detectives are appealing for anyone in the UK who may have direct evidence of war crimes in Ukraine from 21 November 2013 onwards to come forward, and are particularly keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed or been the victim of any war crimes in Ukraine during this period, PA News reports.
Evidence given to and gathered by the war crimes team may then be shared with the international criminal court to assist with their investigation.

As the UK government seeks ways to take on Russian oligarchs with links to Vladimir Putin's regime, the foreign secretary, Liz Truss, has asked government lawyers to "find literally any way" to crack down on "Slapps" – or strategic lawsuits against public participation – where the wealthy exploit lengthy and expensive legal procedures to silence journalists, critics and watchdogs.
How do Slapps differ from ordinary defamation lawsuits?
While Slapps generally arise out of defamation lawsuits and ostensibly have the same purpose – of protecting the claimant's reputation – they are seen as an attempt to shut down public criticism, with the claimant often indifferent about whether they actually win the case.
What is the threat posed by Slapps?
The fear is that they discourage investigative reporting into rich and powerful people because of the potential costs of defending a claim, even if it has little or no merit.
In a parliamentary debate on Slapps in January, David Davis, a Conservative MP and former cabinet minister, said "nefarious" actors were using the justice system "to threaten, intimidate and put the fear of God into British journalists, citizens, officials and media organisations". He described such tactics as "lawfare".
The Foreign Policy Centre said the UK was "the most frequent country of origin" for foreign legal threats against investigative journalists.
How are Slapps connected to Russian oligarchs?
The use of Slapps is not confined to Russians but one of the most notorious recent examples, characterised as such by MPs as well as free speech campaigners, related to Putin's People, a book written by the journalist Catherine Belton about the Russian leader.
She and her publisher, HarperCollins, were sued over a number of matters in the book by multiple Russian billionaires, including Roman Abramovich, who owns Chelsea football club, Mikhail Fridman, the owner of Russia's largest non-state bank, and the Russian state oil company Rosneft. All of the claims were subsequently settled or withdrawn. Abramovich ended his case after HarperCollins accepted some information concerning him was inaccurate and agreed to make revisions to the book. HarperCollins apologised and agreed to make a payment to charity in recognition of a particular error, but otherwise no damages were paid and both sides agreed to pay their own costs.

Anas Sarwar praised the "inspirational bravery" of the Ukrainian people in the face of the Russian invasion.
Having led applause in support of Ukraine earlier in the day, the Scottish Labour leader argued that Vladimir Putin "will not win" and insisted peace will prevail.
Sarwar said:
We unequivocally reject any - any - false attempts to justify Russian aggression, and we stand in solidarity with those fleeing war and those who are staying to defend their homeland.
Vladimir Putin's attack on Ukraine is unprovoked and unjustifiable. Across the world today the message is clear - peace and democracy must prevail and we will not bend to Vladimir Putin's imperial ambitions.
We must provide more humanitarian assistance to defeat the horrors of war: hunger, destitution and need.
We must further tighten the economic measures taken against Vladimir Putin's regime and we must, once and for all, root out the free flow of Russian money and influence and the Russian disinformation campaign from our public life, across the UK and here in Scotland.
The first minister of Wales has said that he regrets the ending of free coronavirus testing, but that it was inevitable after the UK government ended the programme.
Mark Drakeford said he had attempted to persuade the UK government to take a "more gradual" approach to the running down of test and trace but had been rebuffed.
Drakeford said:
I think that is a genuine anxiety and it is why we have attempted unsuccessfully to persuade the UK government to take a more gradual approach to the rundown of testing and the infrastructure that has served us so well over the last two years,
We will devote some of the testing that we have available to us through our own means in ways that will allow surveillance to continue.
We continue to have conversations with the UK government about the need to ensure both that there is sufficient surveillance in place and that should it be necessary to step up the level of protection again through a more widespread testing regime, there's a proper plan and proper capacity to be able to do that.
In the end, when the UK government makes these decisions, they have a direct effect on us. We've had to plan within the constraints that we unavoidably face.

Covid-19 infection levels have fallen in England and Northern Ireland but increased in Scotland, while the trend in Wales is "uncertain", according to new figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The ONS figures reveal that in England, around one in 30 people in private households are estimated to have had the virus in the week to 26 February, or 1.9 million people – down from one in 25, or 2.1 million people in the week to 19 February.
For Northern Ireland the proportion of people with Covid-19 has fallen to one in 17, or 106,300 people, from one in 14, 132,700 people.
But Scotland saw a slight increase week-on-week, up from one in 20, or 240,700 people, to one in 19, or 280,500.
In Wales the estimate remains around one in 30, or 94,200, with the ONS describing the trend in the most recent week as "uncertain".
The Disasters Emergency Committee's (DEC) Ukraine appeal has raised 55 million in its first day.
The total includes "generous" donations from the Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge, DEC said.
It said hundreds of thousands of members of the public donated to the humanitarian appeal within hours of its launch on Thursday.
The total includes 20 million donated by the UK Government as part of its UK Aid Match scheme - the largest commitment ever made to a DEC appeal through the initiative.
Saleh Saeed, the chief executive of the DEC, said:
We are also very grateful for the generous support of the royal family."
We also thank the UK Government who have matched pound for pound the first 20 million donated by the public, as well as our broadcast partners and celebrities for having aired and joined the appeal, reaching millions of viewers and listeners.
Giving through the DEC is the most effective way to get the right assistance to the right people. While wanting to collect clothes and other items for people in need is laudable, the things people give today may not be what people need tomorrow and aid workers say they can't use much of what is arriving. Donating through the DEC is the most helpful way people
Ben Wallace accused Russia of "playing with fire" by shelling a nuclear power plant in Ukraine.
Speaking at a news conference in Copenhagen, the defence secretary added that the UK government "call upon the Russian president in the strongest possible terms to absolutely cease attacking sites" such as the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
It is incredibly dangerous. It is not just dangerous for Ukraine and Russia, it is dangerous for Europe, and it is playing with fire that really is beyond anything that has to do with logic or necessity.
Liz Truss, who is in Brussels to meet with her counterparts to discuss next steps in responding to Russia's aggression, has said the meeting will be used to show "the strength of our unity in challenging Vladimir Putin".
The foreign secretary said:
We are doing all we can to support the Ukrainians through defensive weapons where the UK led – we were the first European country to donate defensive weapons – and we are also going to be talking about sanctions.
We have been very co-ordinated in sanctions, we have shown huge unity, it is having a big effect in Russia – but we now need to do more.
We particularly need to look at the oil and gas sector, how do we reduce our dependence across Europe on Russian gas, how do we cut off the funding to Vladimir Putin's war machine? That is what I am going to be advocating at both the G7 and the discussions with the EU.
The shelling of a nuclear power plant in Ukraine by Russian troops is "a threat to European security and stability", Liz Truss has said.
The Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant has been seized by Russian military forces, according to regional authorities, after a fire sparked by overnight shelling burned for several hours at the largest facility of its kind in Europe.
Speaking in Brussels, where ministers from across the West are gathering today to discuss how to respond to Russian aggression, the foreign secretary told journalists that those responsible for the "completely reckless act" must be "held to account".
Asked how concerned she is about the incident, Truss said:
Well this was a completely reckless act.
We've heard now that the fire has been extinguished, but it is extremely concerning that forces are prepared to do this. We have called for an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council.
This is a threat to European security and stability and we need those responsible to be held to account.
Here's more about what has happened at the nuclear plant:
Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant seized by Russians after shelling, say authorities
Speaking on a visit to the Polish border, the home secretary told reporters she was in the country "very much in terms of standing in solidarity with the people of Ukraine, but also with our friends here in Poland".
She said she wanted to "to see the work that they're doing and also to see how we can support Poland much more in terms of helping those Ukrainians with links to the United Kingdom to come to Britain, and actually we've been discussing some of that work here today".
Patel said:
We're also launching our new family extension route today to enable Ukrainian families with links to the UK to come over to Britain. That scheme is live, that is now working, that's up and running.
We stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Ukraine but also with our dear friends here in Poland, who are working really [hard] night and day, we can all see this, under incredible circumstances.
Boris Johnson is concerned for the safety of the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, Downing Street has said.
The prime minister has regularly spoken to the Ukrainian leader and has expressed his personal admiration of him and a spokesman for the PM was asked whether Johnson was worried about attempts reportedly made on Zelenskiy's life.
Of course, everybody's concerned for the safety and welfare of the president of Ukraine and the rest of the government, as well as the people of Ukraine who we've seen indiscriminately targeted over recent days.

Highlights from Microsoft Build 2017

This story was delivered to BI Intelligence Apps and Platforms Briefing subscribers. To learn more and subscribe, please click here.
Microsoft announced a slew of updates on its products and services at its annual Build 2017 developer conference last week. Here's a roundup of some of the most notable highlights:
More than 500 million devices are now running Windows 10. This up from 400 million devices in September 2016, and 300 million devices in May 2016, according to ZDNet. Windows 10 is Microsoft's cross-device operating system that's predominantly composed of PCs with few mobile Windows 10 iterations.
The Cortana Skills Kit is now available for public preview. The kit enables developers to create voice applications for Microsoft's virtual assistant, Cortana. This puts Microsoft in a better position to compete with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, which have already opened their platforms to third-party developers. However, Cortana developers have some catching up to do — Amazon's Alexa already has more than 10,000 skills.
The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update will provide a more seamless cross-device experience. For example, the update includes a program, dubbed "Pick Up Where You Left Off," that will allow users to start editing a document on their Windows device and then switch over to a mobile iOS or Android device to continue editing. The update will be available later this year.
The company released a set of motion controllers to pair with its mixed reality headsets. Microsoft has been making strides in fulfilling its vision of "mixed reality," a mesh of virtual and augmented reality. The headsets — which stand out from the competition because they're fully tracked by sensors in the headset rather than externally — will ship later this year.
An overarching theme of the Build 2017 conference was interoperability between platforms and devices. The company is ceding the device market in lieu of controlling what's going on inside the devices. This is being chased on multiple fronts, such as through Continuum, which allows smartphones to act as PC processors when plugged in to a monitor and keyboard; Universal Windows Platform, which allows developers to build one app that can work across Microsoft devices, including PC, Xbox, and HoloLens; and the Intelligent Cloud platform, which utilizes Azure cloud and Cortana to tie platforms and devices together.
Cloud computing — on-demand, internet-based computing services — has been successfully applied to many computing functions in recent years.
From consumer-facing, web-based productivity apps like Google Docs to enterprise database management suites, the tools businesses rely on are increasingly moving to the cloud.
But developing a cloud strategy is no easy task. Public cloud solutions will likely come to dominate the market over the next decade, but business constraints, such as security concerns and the limitations of existing infrastructure, make it difficult for companies to fully adopt the public cloud right now.
That means that hybrid clouds, in which multiple cloud implementations (including public and private) are connected, will remain popular for the time being, at least until these constraints are addressed. The tech giants that dominate the IaaS market — Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, and Google — are constantly expanding their offerings to address current business constraints as they compete for market share.
Christina Anzalone, senior research analyst at BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, has compiled a detailed report on cloud computing that evaluates the current business considerations for the various cloud solutions and provides an outlook on the state of the market.
Here are some of the key takeaways from the report:
Cloud computing solutions have gained traction because they're flexible and cost efficient. Sixty-seven percent of companies used an Infrastructure-as-a-Service solution in 2015, like the cloud, for some part of their business, up 19% from the prior year.
All cloud solutions provide certain benefits that are becoming increasingly essential to businesses in the digital age. These include on-demand self-service, rapid elasticity, and broad network access, among others.
Security needs, demand predictability, existing infrastructure, and maintenance capabilities are key business considerations for enterprises choosing between cloud implementations.
While hybrid cloud strategies will remain popular in the near term, the market is likely to shift toward the public cloud over time. That's because costs are falling, providers are developing solutions that address main concerns with the public cloud, and business practices like agile development and data analytics are dependent on advantages the public cloud provides. However, industries that handle sensitive information, like financial services and healthcare, will likely prefer hybrid and private cloud strategies given regulatory restrictions.
Amazon Web Services is the dominant cloud computing provider by market share, followed by Google, IBM, and Microsoft. Because the latter three companies have had little success taking on Amazon, market-share gains are likely to come at the expense of smaller competitors.
In full, the report:
Explains the different cloud computing strategies and benefits of cloud computing.
Evaluates key business considerations – security needs, demand predictability, existing infrastructure, and maintenance capabilities – for enterprises choosing between cloud implementations.
Provides and outlook for trends and major players in the cloud computing market.
