The reconstruction of the former bank building was a lengthy process, according to Olivo, who says the structure had to be re-roofed and tuck-pointed.
Olivo employed the assistance of Scott Vlahos, of distributor Advantage Equipment, in outfitting the store with Continental's ExpressWash soft-mount washers and ExpressDry dryers.
Olivo (pictured) also equipped his store with Card Concepts Inc.'s FasCard system, which allows him to remotely manage his laundry machines via the Internet. He also utilizes the system to operate a customer loyalty program and establish time-of-day pricing.
"The people are nice, and I like this neighborhood," says Olivo of his store's clientele. The laundry caters to young and old alike, and, since opening, has served more than 2,500 customers.

Owner-operator morphs former bank into neighborhood Laundromat
CLEVELAND — An extensive renovation and the installation of freestanding equipment morphed an old bank building into a high-speed laundry.
Located in the Clark-Fulton neighborhood of Cleveland, the new 3,500-square-foot Express Laundry Center delivers a 60-minute wash-dry-fold, card access and customer care, among other amenities.
Retired schoolteacher Joe Olivo purchased the Federal Bank Building at the end of his teaching career.
"Over the next few months, I did research on laundries," he says.
"I accessed Continental Girbau online to contact my regional representative, Scott Vlahos. I called Scott in Akron and asked if his father was Andy Vlahos. It turns out, our fathers had been good friends."
BANK TO LAUNDRY
Vlahos, of distributor Advantage Equipment, assisted Olivo with the bank's renovation and redesign.
"The main bank building was re-roofed and tuck-pointed," says Olivo. "The adjacent addition was virtually knocked down, except [for] part of the floor and one wall, and reconstructed."
The laundry took form around an old vault, which became the office, and 18-inch walls.
"The reconstruction took a while," says Olivo. "Someone broke in and pulled the copper plumbing off the walls. We put new windows on the second floor so we could rent out the upstairs apartments. Scott helped a lot with the layout and equipment mix."
In November 2013, the fully attended Express Laundry Center hosted its grand opening.
EQUIPMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Key to the laundry's success is its equipment, according to Olivo.
The Express Laundry Center features a mix of ExpressWash™ washer-extractors, including 14 20-pounders, 11 30-pounders and 10 40-pounders.
Fourteen Continental dual-pocket stack ExpressDry™ Dryers; the Card Concepts Inc. FasCard™ system; vending and snack machines, as well as wash-dry-fold service round out the store's offerings.
The freestanding ExpressWash washers provide a 60-minute wash-dry-fold, simple installation and lower utility costs, among other benefits.
"The soft-mount washers are installed in the main bank building, which sits over a basement," says Olivo. "We couldn't put hard-mount washers in because they require a reinforced concrete foundation, which we didn't have."
"We had to go with soft-mount machines or we simply could not have developed the laundry."
The washers produce extract speeds up to 354 G-force.
In doing so, according to Vlahos, ExpressWash washers remove more water during extract, which decreases resulting dry time by up to 50%.
"High-speed extract improves customer turnover, getting customers in and out in under an hour, which works to boost profit potential," he says.
Reduced drying time translates into reduced dryer operation and natural gas usage, as well.
While utility costs at the average coin laundry make up 26% of gross revenue, according to a Coin Laundry Association industry survey, utilities at the Express Laundry Center make up just 15%, according to Olivo.
CARD-OPERATED AND -MANAGED
The store features a Card Concepts Inc. FasCard™ system, which accepts credit and debit cards, and interfaces with Continental laundry equipment.
The computer interface allows Olivo to program machines through the card system and view washer operation statistics remotely from a computer, tablet or smartphone, via the Internet.
He can also go into the exchanger remotely and issue cards, check what machines are doing, or find out how much money was generated that day.
The remote store-management system allows him to see what's going on and respond quickly if there is a problem.
Olivo uses the card system to launch loyalty and bonus programs, and schedule time-of-day pricing.
"We offer three, four and five free dries on the 20-, 30- and 40-pound-capacity washers," he says. "Customers also get a $3 credit after $30 of washes."
THE NEIGHBORHOOD LAUNDROMAT
Fully attended, the Express Laundry Center is open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily.
Located in a low-income and ethnically diverse area, the laundry caters to young and old alike.
"The people are nice, and I like this neighborhood," says Olivo.
Since opening, the store has grown to serve more than 2,500 customers.

Bewick's Wren
If you come across a noisy, hyperactive little bird with bold white eyebrows, flicking its long tail as it hops from branch to branch, you may have spotted a Bewick's Wren. These master vocalists belt out a string of short whistles, warbles, burrs, and trills to attract mates and defend their territory, or scold visitors with raspy calls. Bewick's Wrens are still fairly common in much of western North America, but they have virtually disappeared from the East.
View dynamic map of eBird Sightings
Bewick's Wrens favor brushy areas, scrub and thickets in open country, or open woodland. Depending on where you live, you may find them in chaparral-covered hillsides, oak woodlands, mixed evergreen forests, desert scrub, stands of prickly pear and other cacti, mesquite and century plant, willows and tamarisk, hedgerows, or suburban plantings. Bewick's Wrens normally breed in areas that contain a mixture of thick scrubby vegetation and open woodland.
Bewick's Wrens eat the eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults of insects and other small invertebrates. Common prey animals include bugs, beetles, bees and wasps, caterpillars, butterflies, moths, grasshoppers, crickets, flies, and spiders. Bewick's Wrens also occasionally eat seeds, fruit, and other plant matter, especially in winter. Bewick's Wren nestlings receive mostly caterpillars, spiders, grasshoppers, and insect pupae. Adults sometimes consume pebbles and mud, perhaps for nutrients or to help with the grinding digestion of their food.
Nimble and acrobatic, Bewick's Wrens often hang upside down as they glean insects and spiders from trunks, branches, and leaves. They usually forage in the undergrowth less than 10 feet up, or peck at the ground between short hops. Occasionally they'll catch insects on the wing. Seizing a prey animal in its bill, a Bewick's Wren crushes it, shakes it, or bashes it against a branch. Having thus subdued its food, the wren swallows it whole. After a meal, this bird like many others may use its twig perch as a napkin, wiping its bill as many as 100 times. When it leaves the cover of vegetation, a Bewick's Wren typically darts straight for its destination in a quick, level flight. A male's weapon of choice for year-round territorial defense is his singing voice. Dueling crooners perch within about 20 feet of each other to trade a barrage of competing songs and harsh calls. Males may also give chase to fellow Bewick's Wrens or House Wrens that impinge on their territory. (The House Wren usually wins.) During courtship, the male may feed the female, or spread his tail and turn from side to side; the female utters hoarse begging calls or a high clear note. The Bewick's Wren often cocks its long tail and wags it from side to side, sometimes fanning the feathers.
The Bewick's Wren's cup-shaped nest has a base of sticks, grasses, rootlets, leaves, moss, or other plant materials, depending on what the local environment provides. Many contain spider egg cases. The open cup may be lined with feathers, wool, hair, or plant down, with a final inner lining of snakeskin. The male initiates nest building; both sexes participate. The construction process usually takes less than 8 days, though sometimes it can stall for long periods and require weeks to complete. The nest is about 2.5 to 3 inches high and 4 or 5 inches in diameter, the cup about 1-2 inches deep and 2-2.5 inches in diameter.
Typical Sound

Bewick's Wrens are medium-sized wrens with a slender body and a strikingly long tail often held upright. They have slender, long bills that are slightly downcurved.
Color Pattern
Bewick's Wrens are subdued brown-and-gray wrens with a long, brow-like white stripe over the eye. The back and wings are plain brown; underparts gray-white; and the long tail is barred with black and tipped with white spots. Males and females look the same.

Carolina Wrens are plumper, shorter-tailed, and more reddish-brown than Bewick's Wrens. Their ranges now overlap only in a limited part of the central U.S. Carolina Wrens have a sweet, rolling song, much different from the Bewick's Wren's jumble of notes, which can be reminiscent of a Song Sparrow. House Wrens are smaller birds with shorter tails and are much darker brown overall, particularly the underparts. In the West, Bushtits share habitat with Bewick's Wrens but are smaller, more slender, plain gray birds that usually travel in small, twittering flocks. Wrentits are an even gray-brown, without the pale underparts or eyebrow stripe of Bewick's Wrens. Their simple, descending, whistled song is quite different from the Bewick's Wren's.
Did you know?!
The severe declines of Bewick's Wren in the eastern United States coincided with range expansion in the House Wren. It is suspected that the House Wren, which frequently removes eggs from nests in cavities, was directly responsible for the decline. The increased availability of nest boxes may have helped the spread of the House Wren, and therefore the decline of the Bewick's Wren.
The male Bewick's Wren learns its song while still on the parents' territory. It learns the song not from its father, but rather from the neighboring territorial males. The song repertoire developed before the first winter is retained for life.

About a half hour to an hour after local sunset, the waxing crescent moon will dominate the southwest sky. A bright white "evening star, which is actually the planet Venus, will shine about seven degrees below the moon, making for a stunning pairing easily visible with the unaided eye.
Moon and Mars — December 4
At dusk the moon will position itself to the right of ruddy Mars. The two objects will be less than three degrees apart, equal to about six lunar disks. The red planet currently sits 117 million miles from Earth, which means that light and radio signals take nearly 11 minutes to travel one way between our worlds.
Supermoon and Aldebaran — December 12
At 1:25 p.m. ET (18:27 UTC) on the 12th, the nearly full moon — or what astronomers call the waxing gibbous moon — will reach its closest point to Earth in its monthly cycle, at a distance of only 222,738 miles. The coincidence of a full moon and the lunar orb's closest approach is popularly dubbed a supermoon, and December's event will be the third in as many months. (Also see 11 striking pictures of the November supermoon, the closest to Earth since 1948.)
Full Phase
The moon will officially reach its full phase just a little over day later, at 2:06 p.m. ET (19:06 UTC) on December 13. Either night, it will be worth taking a look at the silvery orb rising in the east around the time of local sunset.
Meanwhile, try using binoculars or telescopes to spot the bright orange star Aldebaran near the moon. For lucky sky-watchers across most of North America and Western Europe, the red giant star, part of the constellation Taurus, the bull, will get briefly eclipsed by the moon at 11:13 p.m. ET (4:05 UTC).
Moon and Beehive—December 16
As a great observing challenge, look for the waning gibbous moon to point the way to the famous Beehive open star cluster in the constellation Cancer, the crab. This beautiful group of stars lies about 610 light-years from Earth and was first mentioned back in 260 B.C. by ancient Greek poet Aratos, who referred to it as the Little Mist. The cluster is visible as a faint and tiny fuzzy patch to the naked eye under dark skies, and suburban sky-watchers can also hunt it down easily using either binoculars or small telescopes.
While the Ursids only produce an average of 10 to 15 shooting stars an hour, on rare occasions viewers will catch bursts of 30 or more an hour
At 5:44 a.m. ET (10:44 UTC) on the 21st, the sun will be at its lowest point in the sky, making it the shortest day of the year north of the Equator. In the Southern Hemisphere, the sun will be at its highest point, making December 21 the longest day of the year for points south.Seasons (and solstices) happen because Earth is tilted on its axis at it orbits the sun. During winter, the axis is slightly tilted away from the sun, so the hemisphere in question receives less sunlight. The exact date and time of the December solstice changes slightly from year to year because of the difference between a calendar year of 365 days and the solar year of 365.26 days—the exact time it takes for Earth to make one trip around the sun.
Ursid Meteor Shower—December 22
In the predawn hours of December 22, North Americans will see the peak of a minor annual meteor known as the Ursa Minorids, or the Ursids. As with all meteor showers, the Ursids are named after the constellation they appear to radiate from in the sky, in this case Ursa Minor, the little bear. These meteors appear to shoot out from a region of the sky just above the bowl of the Little Dipper, the well-known star pattern that's part of Ursa Minor.
While the Ursids only produce an average of 10 to 15 shooting stars an hour, on rare occasions viewers will catch bursts of 30 or more an hour. This year, meteor watchers will have to contend with a waning gibbous moon, which rises the night before at around 1 a.m. local time, so expect to see much more modest numbers than usual, somewhere around five to 10 meteors an hour.

Gary Speed's Father Mobbed In France By Wales Fans
By : Marley Anderson On : 06 Jul 2016 17:23
Wales fans have a lot of reasons to be cheerful at the Euros right now.
They're about to take on Portugal in the semi final, after a dream tournament that has included finishing top of Group B ahead of England, and knocking out Belgium in the quarter finals.
Much of the Welsh success is down to team spirit, which was initially instilled in the squad by Gary Speed, before he passed away in 2011.
Speed's father Roger is in France to watch the game with Wales fans, and they've given him a hero's welcome as he joins the Dragons fans.

We're all in tears . Lovely moment pic.twitter.com/JIR4xjqQyQ
Roger will be watching on as Wales take on Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal tonight, and Gary will be watching on from above as his country attempts to lift the European Championship trophy at the first time of asking, having never qualified before.

I am thrilled to have New Zealand jewellery designer Cathy Pope here today to answer a few questions for us. I am a massive fan of her work and am lucky enough to own one of her gorgeous necklaces, with the dream of owning more one day. Thank you so much for your time Cathy.
I've worked in the tv and film industry as a Costume Designer for the past 16 years and didn't plan on becoming a jewellery designer. I call my jewellery business a 'happy accident'. Until two years ago I never wore necklaces because I didn't suit fine jewellery and found a lot of bolder jewellery looked cheap and mass produced. I'd been given some large faceted gemstones and decided to put one between a chain and then suddenly the penny dropped! This was the necklace I'd been searching for. Almost immediately people complimented it and soon I started making them for friends. I walked into a shop one day and the shop assistant admired my necklace and they became my first retailer. So it was all a little unplanned and here I am two years later with 23 retailers across NZ. It's been such an unexpected and exciting experience. My brand ethos reflects this journey and I really want to keep the range boutique, sought after and not mass produced. Cathy Pope Jewellery is for women who don't follow the crowd and who want to wear quality pieces that are a little different.
Travel and beauty are my two biggest inspirations. I prefer style over fashion and simple, classic designs over too much detail. I especially enjoy imperfections and irregularities in design and working with natural crystals that are pieces of the earth. I love the contrasts of faceted gemstones and highly polished perfect chains. Gemstones have metaphysical properties that really interest me and each stone has a story to tell that is passed on to its wearer. Travel is a great way to collect jewellery and find inspiration and learn about other cultures.
hat websites/blogs are you currently clicking on?
I'm an Instagram addict and follow lots of different people for design inspiration rather than following what's on trend. I really like the Australian jewellery brand Mania Mania, Mociun and British designer Polly Wales and they way they embrace gemstones and irregularities. For fashion I keep an eye on couture brands like Celine and Valentino and I love what Ari Seth Cohen does with older women on his blog Advanced Style. I'm a little random.
Simple and eclectic modern with a twist of nostalgia. I love colour and textures and my home has a white base with bold pops of oranges, pinks and turquoise in soft furnishings and artwork. Similarly my jewellery design is colourful and bold and like many NZ women I wear a lot of black. I use accessories ie jewellery, shoes and bags as my feature pieces on a classic base. My aim is to create timeless jewellery that withstands fads and trends and is treasured by it's owner.
I'm in India working with my manufacturers at the moment and have some exciting new ranges we are working on. Its still early days for my business but I've found my bolder signature look is where I'm putting my focus. I'm planning on growing the business so I can work in it full-time as I'm still freelancing as a Costume Stylist on tv commercials. The plan is to find new export markets in 2016.

Engaging with others & giving a reason: 10 years on...
The latest issue of Case Magazine is out and it celebrates the 10th anniversary of the Centre for Apologetic Scholarship and Education (CASE) at New College. The Centre was established in late 2002 with my appointment as the 5th Master of the College.
In the first issue of Case magazine I described its aim as 'to provide a Christian perspective on social, intellectual and academic issues.' The Centre was meant '…to engage people of all persuasions in dialogue, debate and discussion concerning contemporary issues of broad interest.' It was to do this through publications, seminars, conferences, online resources, and engagement with others in varied public dialogue and discourse.
CASE has now been doing this for a decade. Case magazine has been one of the key activities of the Centre. Over the years it has tackled a huge range of topics, including family, climate change, debt, apologetics, work, philosophy, science and religion, euthanasia, creativity, poverty, wealth, evolution, witchcraft, atheism, ageing, politics, education, bioethics, war, peace, art, music, literature, happiness, and even Christmas! The early shape, design and make-up of Case was influenced by Dr Greg Clarke who I appointed as full-time Director of the centre and editor of Case in 2003. He held this post until 2006 when I assumed the role of Director in addition to being Master of New College.
As an incoming editor I made some minor changes to what had become an excellent publication. We created an Editorial Advisory Group and from Issue 12 we grouped the articles much more around a particular theme. Over the years, the themes have included The Christian and Politics (#13); Living and Dying Ethically (#17) To Give a Reason (#20); Work in Progress (#24); Acts of God (#27); Selling Christmas (#29); and Believing Science (#32). This has made Case Magazine more than simply a Christian current affairs magazine, or a journal to be read once and discarded. Over time readers, churches, schools and libraries subscribing to the magazine have used it as a reference library of high quality articles grouped in these topic areas. Themes we plan to address over the coming months include identity, media, secularism, refuge, and beauty.
CASE reaches well beyond traditional 'defence' apologetics. Its aim is to encourage all to consider the claims of Christianity, and to bring a biblical perspective to all of life. It has done this in many overlapping ways:
a) helping people understand and respond to direct challenges to Christianity (eg. New Atheism, scientism, the problem of evil, and historical challenges—even those in airport novels!);
b) providing Christian comment on areas of popular and intellectual culture and (eg. art, music, literature, history, science, philosophy, anthropology);
c) providing Christian comment on societal trends (eg. new technology, busyness, globalisation, climate change);
d) informing people about areas of potential ethical conflict between Christianity and the world, and how to respond (eg. bioethics, euthanasia, sexuality, consumerism);
e) encouraging people to live as thoughtful Christians in the way they approach day to day life (eg. work, money, family, education, church, social justice);
f) encouraging Christian to engage thoughtfully with the non-Christian world (eg. through political engagement, the media and so on);
and in all these things promoting the attractiveness of Christianity.
To celebrate 10 years of CASE, we have put together a bumper edition of Case Magazine, comprising a selection of some of the most significant articles published in the magazine over the last ten years. To kick the issue off, we invited our foundation director Dr Greg Clarke to write about his thoughts on key directions for apologetics.
The 10th Anniversary issue (#34) also marks the beginning of a new venture for CASE. For the first time, the magazine will be available in electronic form as an e-zine that can be downloaded and read on electronic devices. This will make it even easier for the next generation of readers to access. As part of this venture Koorong will now sell the magazine directly to its customers around the world. The printed version will also continue to be produced as it is now, giving readers the choice of reading the hard copy or the electronic format, or both! Full details on the varied ways to subscribe and buy Case magazine can be found by visiting the CASE website.
In addition, we will be returning to an earlier practice of Case Magazine, which is to provide a Discussion Guide for groups to download and use, to help discuss the content from each edition. This will commence with Issue #35, with the theme of Identity.
I hope that you will enjoy this special anniversary edition of Case. Thank you to those of you who have supported and contributed to the work of CASE over the last decade. To others, for whom this issue may be your first introduction to the Centre, I hope the work of CASE will be a blessing to you both now and into the future. If you would like to purchase individual issues of Case or subscribe to receive quarterly publications, then visit our website HERE.

We shall be football
One Young Lion
by ERIMUSPosted on June 11, 2018 June 11, 2018
While Adam Clayton has been cross dressing on his stag do in Vegas and Britt Assombalonga has been bromancing all over California with Paddy Bamford, one young lion has already begun to stake a claim for a place in Tony Pulis's first team plans next season. Instead of going on a lads holiday to Aya Napa, Dael Fry has been winning tournaments with England. He's making a habit out of this.
Last year's U20 World Cup victory was a fantastic achievement for the boy from Berwick Hills, but much of that competition was spent playing second fiddle to the Chelsea duo of Fikayo Omori and Jake Clarke-Salter.
However, in the Toulon Tournament, Dael Fry played second fiddle to nobody. At the heart of a back three, mirroring the setup the senior side will be using at the World Cup, Fry led by example.
His calming influence at the back allowed the U21s star men Tammy Abraham and Eddie Nketiah to fly forward and get a sackful of goals. Our lad even got in on the act, scoring his first ever goal against China in the opening game before bagging the all-important equaliser in the final against Mexico.
Not his actual first goals like, he's probably banged in a thousand playing heads and volleys over on the field in his teenage years, but his first professional goals.
Dael's commanding displays didn't go unnoticed, as he was included in the team of the tournament alongside Newcastle 'keeper Freddie Woodman and his skipper Lewis Cook. So now, two months shy of his 21st birthday, is this Fry's time or is it yet another false dawn for the academy graduate?
After bursting on the scene as a 17 year old with a European Championship victory with England U17s as well as a Man of the Match performance against Preston on the opening day of the 15/16 season, Fry was quickly sent back to the youth team as Aitor Karanka set his sights on promotion from the Championship.
In February, after captaining the Under 19 team to the knockout rounds of the UEFA Youth League, Fry was thrown into a promotion push as the giraffe necked Daniel Ayala found himself in familiar territory on Chris Moseley's physio table.
Things started well as only a worldy from Fabio (yes that one) in a 3-1 win against Cardiff got past the Teesside Towers of Fry and Ben Gibson in three games. Boro were going to clinch promotion on the bedrock of two local lads and it made us all buzz.
Not since the glory days of Downing, Morrison, Cattermole and later on Big Davey Wheater and Matty Bates had we seen multiple academy graduates represent the town at the Riverside. For all the excitement and quality a multi-million pound signing can bring, nothing comes close to seeing "one of our own" do well.
Unfortunately, anyone who's right into their David Attenborough will know that young lions are constantly under threat, which would be the case for Dael Fry.
Two costly mistakes from the lad in seemingly easy games against Rotherham and Charlton came about in the midst of Karankagate, as the wheels looked to have completely fallen of our promotion chasing bandwagon in comical circumstances and coincided with Ayala returning to full fitness.
Promotion to the Premier League followed on that faithful day against Brighton and it left Fry in a state of flux. Calum Chambers and Bernardo Espinosa were brought in to boost the centre back department as Boro looked to solidify their place as a Premier League outfit.
Well down the pecking order, the now 19 year old needed game time to aid his growth and was offered the chance to spend a season at Rotherham. He soon found out that relegation battles are no place for 19 year olds to develop their game.
Rotherham were absolutely borstal and getting hammered every game but Fry was still standing out amongst the chaos. The Millers then sacked Alan Stubbs, who'd brought Fry in, for Kenny Jackett and the youngster fell out of favour as Jackett attempted to plug the holes in Rotherham's leaky ship with experience.
Fry wouldn't play a single game throughout November and December and his loan was terminated by Boro in early January
The next eight months were probably the hardest and slowest of Fry's rise. With game time impossible to pick up in the Premier League, he was relegated (as Boro would be) back to the youth team.
Rather than taking the modern footballer stance of throwing a paddy or giving up, Fry did what everyone from Boro does in a shitty situation; he knuckled down and fought back to make sure he was ready to take any chance that came his way.
It was probably a relief for Dael to be whisked off to South Korea with the Under 20 side that summer. Although he only made three appearances in the tournament, being part of a successful England squad with some of his mates would only motivate him to push on even more once his feet landed back on home turf, with a new manager to impress at Boro.
As always seems to be the case, the chance Fry had hoped for was handed to him at the expense of Dani Ayala. The Spaniard's "cool as ice" back pass against Wolves in the season opener had cost Garry Monk a decent result in his first game in charge and he immediately dropped Ayala in favour of the World Cup winner.
The confidence Fry had gained from his time with England was clear to see as he once again teamed up with Gibbo. There was hiccups along the way, mostly down to the rampaging fullbacks Monk liked to employ, but the Reds only lost one in eight after the Wolves game with Dael often outshining his more experienced partner.
Then Fry did what young lads do. He made a mistake. Attempting to shepherd the ball out of play against Norwich instead of clearing it, Fry was robbed by Marley Watkins, who rolled the ball to the feet of James Maddison. Maddison whacked it top bins, Boro lost, hard luck son.
The kid didn't need telling he'd fucked up and he certainly didn't need Garry Monk to drop him quicker than an Amsterdam prossie drops her kecks for the following game.
A stand-in for a suspended Ayala aside, Fry wouldn't play for Garry Monk's Boro again and only managed one league appearance for Tony Pulis as the Welshman looked to reorganise the defence after he'd taken over.
It looked like the next time Fry would be playing proper competitive football would be at the Toulon Tournament but Dani Ayala did what Dani Ayala has an unhealthy knack for doing. He got injured.
Walking into the lions den of Villa Park for the second leg of a must win play-off semi seemed an insurmountable task for a 20 year old with a handful of games all season. It's always been that way though. Debut at 17, World Cups and relegation battles. He should have fallen at every single hurdle put in front of him. Dael Fry's from Boro though, nobody from Boro ever gives up.
Despite Boro being unable to overturn the 1-0 deficit, Fry stood firm against the test of Albert Adomah, Lewis Grabban, Robert Snodgrass and a raucous Villa support. Pulis singled him out for special praise in his post-match press conference which bodes well for the future.
That's where we're at now. The future. While it's bright for the academy standout, it must include consistent game time.
There has been talks of a move for an experienced head like James Collins, who Fry could certainly learn a thing or two from. If there's an area where he struggles, it's against physical shithouse strikers and there's plenty of them in the Championship. Someone like Collins could coach him in the darker arts of defending.
Whatever happens, we have to be patient with him because young lads make mistakes. He needs time and a bit of leeway. Not a one strike and you're out policy. His achievements with the Young Lions of England speak volumes for his potential. He could be our best academy product, ever. We just need to put faith in him.
Fry has 32 senior games under his belt with his 21st birthday looming. By the time he was 21, Ben Gibson had played 52 times over the course of three loans at Plymouth, York City and Tranmere Rovers and had cemented his place in the Boro first team. He's the role model that Fry must follow.
Ironically, the very man he must look up to might be heading on to bigger and better things. With a twenty million quid price tag on his head, Uncle Steve is preparing for a summer of phonecalls from Premier League teams for Ben.
After delaying a transfer to help his beloved team try and bounce straight back to the Prem, if Gibbo is to leave he'll do so with love and goodwill from the Boro faithful.
If Gibbo is to leave, there's a young lion ready to roar and take his place. A young lion from Berwick Hills, Boro.

Саобраћај А. Д. је некадашње ауто-транспорно предузеће из Оџака у Републици Србији.

Историјат

Године 1961. ауто-транспортно предузеће из Оџака заједно са аутпревозницима из Сенте и Сомбора ствара заједничко предузеће АТП Сомбортранс. Пет година касније 23. децембра 1966. године предузеће мења име у Севертранс. Из предузећа се касније издвајају као засебна предузећа, Севертранс Сента, и Саобраћај Оџаци. Предузеће се региструје под именом Саобраћај Оџаци, 1. јуна 1982. године.

Саобраћај Оџаци А. Д. бавио се превозом путника, туризмом, трговином, угоститељством, ремонтом друмских моторних возила, а поседовао је и ауто-школу за обуку возача. Основна делатност му је била превоз путника у друмском саобраћају на територији републике Србије. Налазио се у сомборсккој улици број 2 у Оџацима.

У циљу проширивања пословања и повећања удела на тржишту предузеће марта 2003. године је купило 40 одсто акција транспортног предузећа Саобраћај - Мостонга уз намеру да постане већински власник даљим преузимањем акција.

Туристичка агенција

У саставу предузећа налазила се и туристичка агенција АД Саобраћај Турист Биро са седиштем у Оџацима.

Предузеће данас

Предузеће је продато на аукцији одржаној у СПЦ Војводина у Новом Саду дана 22. децембра 2003. године, купио га је као једини заинтерсовани понуђач Славко Андрић, у својству физичког лица по почетној цени која је износила око 40 хиљада евра (2.748.000 дин), уз обавезна улгања од 140 хиљада евра (9.438.000 дин).

2015. године је објављена продаја акција фирме а убрзо је већина возила продата и расходована. Неке линије је преузео Дунавпревоз из Бачке Паланке, неке Соларис из Бачког Грачаца.

Зграда аутобуске станице је изгорела у новембру 2015. те је потом срушена.

Life had not been easy for twenty seven year old Sebastian. He had worked hard and saved his money. Herr and Frau Bleier approached Sebastian concerning their daughter. The fifteen year old girl was raped three months previously. She was carrying a child. They offered her to him as a wife. He was unsure how a young girl could be happy with a man almost twice her age. After consideration he agreed. A few months later their son Paul was born. Sebastian was celibate. He wanted his wife but she was young and did not want to scare her.
After carefully saving their money, Sebastian finally had enough to go to America. Their voyage was one of hardship. Elizabeth made friends with many of the Jews families on board. They entered America with high hopes.
The couple finally declared their love for each other and consummated their marriage. Hoping to make a better life for his family; Sebastian joined the Civil War. He never returned; leaving behind a widow with two children.
Elizabeth was a remarkable young woman, shrewd, determined and intelligent. She was determined to make a life for her children.
Elizabeth's Encounters is an extraordinary book. I truly cared about the characters. It was sad for Sebastian and Elizabeth promising life together to be snatched from them. Sebastian was intelligent, patient and a loving husband. His allowed his relationship with Elizabeth to mature never forcing himself on her.
Elizabeth's Encounters is loosely based on Edward G. Schultz's great grandparents. I am familiar with author's name. A few years ago I reviewed Morgan's Mission. I was impressed with the book. In this book he has skills have greatly improved. He shows great skill at character development. He allows the plot to tell its own story without rushing it. I look forward to the next book Schultz offers readers.

This investigation took place at the Bombeck Family Learning Center which is the Early Childhood Education demonstration/research school for the University of Dayton. This is the birthplace of the ACCESS Curriculum. The classroom environment consists of pre-K aged students and range ages from 3 to 5 years old. This class has approximately 20 children with 3 full time teachers as well as student teachers from the University. The room is set up for center-based learning and is divided into different areas that include the following centers/areas: dramatic play, manipulative (math) area, block area, literacy/story or book area, art center, science center and sensory tables. The room also includes 4 large tables for group work and eating meals. The classroom is child-centered and provides opportunity for children to choose where they would like to work and play. The classroom also offers each child the opportunity to make decisions on what he/she would like to engage in. The class is set up in such a way as the child chooses what learning experiences he/she would like to engage in and at what point during the day as well as the ability to move freely from experience to experience. Moreover, the class schedule creates time for children to participate in teacher directed activities in small and large groups.
The class was studying art specifically visual art through drawing and painting. Through art children had the opportunity to express ther feelings and emotions in a safe way. They learned to control their emotions and recognize that they can express and handle negative as well as joyous feelings through positive action. Also children practiced and gained fine muscle control and strengthened eye-hand motor coordination. By holding paintbrushes and learning how to control paint, crayons, scissors, and other art tools, the children gained the skills necessary for writing activities as well as a feeling of control over themselves and their world. They developed perceptual abilities. Awareness of colors, shapes, forms, lines, and textures resulted as children observed these and tried to replicate them through art. The children were given the opportunity to make choices and solve problems through art. Some of the challenges were: "How do you get the legs to stick on a clay figure? What color should I use?" Making art offered the children a multitude of choices and many decisions to make. They also had the opportunity to see that other children had differing points of view and ways of expressing themselves. Comparing children's drawings, paintings, or models gave the children concrete, dramatic examples of how different people express the same thing in different ways. While learning that their way was not the only way, they learned to value diversity (Strasser, 2001). Through art, the children experienced success. Because art leaves the end open to the creator, all children experienced a measure of success, and they could make connections between the visual arts and other disciplines. Art integrates the curriculum. Content from every subject matter can find form through art.

Laylah-"Art means you write something for mom and dad…my mommy loves art because she likes art."
After reading the book The Dot the children used their fine motor skills to cut out circles. They then used dot markers to create their own dot artwork for one activity. Another activity involved the children using a black marker to make a dot on a piece of paper. From there they made their own creation. The third activity involved using milk, food colors and dish detergent. The children observed the changes in the way the food colors dispersed after the dish detergent was dropped in.
Using the primary colors, the children mixed 2 different colors to come up with secondary colors. Using the different colors they created, the children then charted their findings. ,Different types of music were played for the children to evoke different emotions. While the music was playing, the children were asked to make a drawing of how the music made them feel. To create different shades using black and white the children were given 1 cup each of white and black and were then asked to see how many different shades they could create. Using cotton swabs, they made marks on paper of the different shades they came up with.
Using a variety of methods, tools and media, the children explored mixing the primary colors to produce secondary colors. From there the children experimented with creating even more colors and shades. Using their fine motor skills to make a list, they practiced writing words related to colors and mixing.
Using bottles of paint, different shaped cookie cutters and pieces of paper cut into different shapes, the children created works of abstract art. The children work together on some of the art pieces while others were individual endeavors. The children also experimented with different places in their environment to make their creations.
For one activity the children used socks filled with mulch, pebbles and rocks along with classroom items to create collaborative works of art. In another activity the children painted their designs on a piece of paper using water colors. They then added texture to the piece by using glue, salt and glitter. The children also completed their shape creations by using paint to add color to their previous works.
Using spray bottles, the children used simple tools to extend their investigation of abstract art. They also used muscle control and coordination skills to make their creations with the spray bottles. The children created an abstract word list using words that pertained to abstract art like: spontaneous, canvas, layout, and shades. The children participated in a variety of activities to create different forms of abstract art including painting with different materials from the environment as well as using classroom materials. Stories were read that introduced vocabulary pertaining to abstract art and famous artists who created works of abstract art. The children made a word list of terms associated with abstract art.
Still life is a painting featuring an arrangement of inanimate, everyday objects, whether natural objects (flowers, food, etc.) or manufactured items (books, bottles, etc.). Still life activities included looking closely at three different objects. The children examined the three objects looking at shape, color, and texture and material composition. Each child then made a plan as to how they would position the three pieces to draw. They also studied an arrangement of a group of blocks and then made a drawing of the arrangement.
The children made a still life word list using their fine motor skills to help with their understanding of new words.
The children discussed the detail of three objects which were an apple, a paper bag, and a yogurt container. They looked at the color, shape, shadows, light reflections, texture, etc. The next day the children observed an arrangement of these items on the table. They used pictures of the objects to place them in the correct position on their papers. Lastly they used markers to draw the arrangement. During this experience the children demonstrated an understanding of positional words by correctly placing the objects next to, in front of, behind, etc. on their paper. The children had the opportunity to paint typical objects found in famous paintings such as a bowl of fruit. Through these experiences the children were able to demonstrate their ability to make careful observations and refine their fine motor skills by adding small details to their work.
The children had the opportunity to paint typical objects found in famous paintings such as a bowl of fruit and a bouquet of flowers. Through this experience, the children were able to demonstrate their ability to make careful observations and refine their fine motor skills by adding small details to their work. They also created their own arrangements by making flowers and by arranging items from home to draw or photograph. Through this experience the children were able to demonstrate an understanding of position words and use technology tools to share their experiences.
During our art investigation, the children discovered that landscape is the depiction in art of natural scenery such as mountains, valleys, trees, rivers, and forests, and especially art where the main subject is a wide view with its elements arranged into a coherent composition. Through searching for famous landscape art and describing elements found in landscape art, they used felt boards as a model to create their own landscape theme. The children also used a camera to take pictures of the playground landscape. Through this experience the children had the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to record observations with pictures and express understanding of new words.
While exploring landscape art, the children reproduced the famous painting Starry Night by Vincent van Gogh using crayons and gray paper. During this experience the children were asked to look closely at details including shape, color, etc. They also had the opportunity to show appreciation and interest in other's work. The children also used books to choose a theme for their own landscape work. They started their work by drawing a line of horizon to show where the sky and ground met. Through this experience they had the opportunity to learn a new word and refine their fine motor skills.
In small groups the children chose a piece of landscape from our playground to draw. During this experience the children were made careful observations of details, composition, and recorded their observations. The children discussed new words during this project: foreground, background, and middle-ground.
During our investigation of landscape art, the children used paint to paint the foreground and background the color that matched their theme. Through this experience they had the opportunity to learn a new word and refine their fine motor skills. After experiencing many new words the children look at the new words they learned and made a list of important words by printing them on paper using a model. Through this experience the children were able to demonstrate an understanding of the words and refine their letter formation skills. To look at composition and dimensions further the children created buildings with blocks and paper. The next day they will use them to create a city with depth.
While investigating landscape art, the children used small pieces of paper to add objects to finish their landscape piece. Through this experience they had the opportunity to learn a new word and refine their fine motor skills. To look at composition and dimensions further the children created buildings with blocks and paper then placed them on the road to show depth. They were able to discover how to show dimension in art. They found that the items closer were larger and decreased in size as they got further away. Lastly they created landscape art by using contact paper and tissue paper to create ground and sky using a line of horizon. Then they traced and cut an item and added it to their picture.

Tarmac Delay ContingencyPlan
All customers who want to deplane from a flight delayed on Tarmac and make alternative travel arrangements consistent with airline ticketing policies may do so ,when it is determined to be safe and secure;
After the aircraft has been moved in to position for deplaning
All operational requirements for deplaning have been completed
And the pilot- in- command has allowed customer deplaning to begin.
Passengers will be allowed to keep their boarding pass with them to re-board when permissible.
Customers who choose to deplane and make alternative travel arrangements, consistent with airline ticketing policies, may be advised that in most cases their checked baggage will remain on the aircraft to the flight's final destination. In cases where the flight returns to the gate and cancelled, customers will be able to retrieve their checked luggage at the airport's baggage claim facilities.
Depending up on the circumstances of the delay, Ethiopian will provide adequate food and drinks including potable water.
Ethiopian Airlines Tarmac Delays Contingency Plan
In accordance with Department of Transportation "Enhanced protection for airlines passenger regulations (14 CFR Part 259)" Ethiopian Airlines is committed to providing convenient and hassle free service on every flight it operates.
Ethiopian's contingency plan for lengthy tarmac delays here after refereed as "Ethiopian's Contingency Plan" or "Contingency Plan" describes what Ethiopian will implement during lengthy tarmac delay in accordance with U.S. Department of Transport (DOT) regulations. Ethiopian makes its plan available at the carrier's website, www.ethiopianairlines.com.
Ethiopian's goal is to make every flight a safe and pleasant experience for its customers. Ethiopian's plan will be activated during times when customers on Ethiopian flights are experiencing irregular operations involving a lengthy tarmac delay. In most cases the cause of lengthy tarmac delays are outside of Ethiopian's reasonable control (e.g. weather events, inefficiencies of the day's air traffic control (ATC) systems, government operating restrictions, and airport construction projects). There are also times when anticipated flight delays may occur due to airline operations. Ethiopian adopts the following Contingency Plan, in order to be able to manage the situation in an orderly manner.
Ethiopian flights covered by this plan are those flights that depart from or arrive at a U.S. airport. Ethiopian will not permit the aircraft to remain on the tarmac for more than four hours without deplaning the passengers unless:
The Pilot-in-command determines there is a safety related or security related reason why the aircraft can not leave its position on the tarmac to deplane passengers, or
Air traffic control advises the Pilot-in-command that returning to the gate or another disembarkation point elsewhere in order to deplane the passengers would significantly disrupt airport operations.
For all flights covered by this plan, Ethiopian will provide adequate food and potable water no later than two hours after the aircraft leaves the gate (in the case of departure delay) or touches down ( in the case of arrival delay) if the aircraft remains on the tarmac.
For all flights covered by this plan, Ethiopian will provide operable lavatory facilities as well as adequate medical attention if needed while the aircraft remains on the tarmac.
Ethiopian will provide passengers with notifications of the status of delays to passengers every 30 minutes during a delay, including the reasons for delay if known.
Ethiopian will notify passengers that they may deplane from an aircraft at the gate or another disembarkation area if the opportunity to deplane actually exists.
Ethiopian ensures adequate resources available to implement this contingency plan for lengthy tarmac delays when necessary. Ethiopian will coordinate with Airport authorities, including terminal facility operators (where applicable), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and parties serving Ethiopian, including diversion airports.


Apply and cure bonding agent (Bio Bond, Bonder Intense or Base Bond). Now wipe the dispersion film off of the nail with a clean, dry lint-free cotton swab. This will provide a better surface to apply the French application, as it will not run into the dispersion film. *Be sure that there are no lint particles on the nail from the cotton swab. Using the application brush, swipe it across the nail plate to form the nice crisp smile line, cure.


MILLS, Commissioner.--Petitioner appeals the permanent suspension of her son, C.C., from the Middle Country Central School District. The appeal must be sustained in part.
The facts underlying this appeal were set forth in petitioner's prior appeal (Appeal of L.K., 35 Ed Dept Rep 129), which I dismissed for petitioner's failure to exhaust her administrative remedies. Petitioner now appeals respondent's October 25, 1995 determination which affirmed its superintendent's May 4, 1995 decision to permanently suspend her son from the school.
Petitioner contends that the penalty imposed constitutes unjust and excessive punishment, that the first letter providing petitioner with notice of the charge against her son contained allegations that were false, that certain witnesses were not present at the disciplinary hearing, that respondent failed to inform her of the severity of the fight in which her son was allegedly involved and that respondent failed to provide appropriate supervision in the cafeteria where the fight occurred.
Respondent denies petitioner's contentions and requests that the appeal be denied on the principle of res judicata, based upon an assertion that the previous decision in L.K., supra, also constituted a dismissal on the merits of petitioner's claims.
My dismissal of petitioner's original petition was made on procedural grounds, based upon petitioner's failure to exhaust her administrative remedies by failing to bring an appeal to the board of education pursuant to Education Law'3214(3)(c). I made no decision on the merits of petitioner's claim that the penalty imposed was excessive and could not properly have reached the merits until the board of education first rendered its decision on the matter. The additional language in that decision, referring to my finding of no merit to petitioner's "claims," refers to petitioner's other procedural claims, relating to the notice of the hearing and the events leading up to the hearing. Accordingly, I will not dismiss the petition on the grounds of res judicata.
Petitioner contends that the permanent suspension of her son is excessive. Because of its deleterious effect upon the student's education, permanent suspension should be reserved for grave circumstances, such as the need to safeguard the well-being of other students (Appeal of Sole, 34 Ed Dept Rep 270). While there is no dispute that petitioner's son was involved in the fight which precipitated his original suspension, there is nothing in the record to indicate that he engaged in similar conduct on other occasions. In general, a single fight, without more, is an insufficient basis to permanently suspend a student from school (Appeal of Stewart, 34 Ed Dept Rep 193). Aside from the student's established involvement in the fight at issue, respondent's permanent suspension was based upon the incidents in his anecdotal record. That record reflects that the sum and substance of the student's prior discipline all resulted from acts of truancy and tardiness. While it is possible for respondent to discipline the student for acts of insubordination stemming from his failure to attend classes, a school district may not suspend a student for nonattendance (Appeal of Strada, 34 Ed Dept Rep 629; Appeal of Hynds, 34 id. 553; Appeal of Ackert, 30 id. 31). Accordingly, I find the permanent suspension of petitioner's son to be excessive, and I will substitute my judgment for that of respondent (Appeal of Stewart, supra). I find that the period of suspension already served by the student, from May 1995 to the present, is sufficient to impress upon him the seriousness of his conduct and the need for improvement.
IT IS ORDERED that petitioner's son be immediately admitted to respondent's schools.

Skipton and Ripon è un collegio elettorale inglese della Camera dei comuni del Parlamento del Regno Unito, situato nel North Yorkshire. Elegge un membro del Parlamento con il sistema maggioritario a turno unico. Il rappresentante del collegio dal 2010 è il conservatore Julian Smith.

Profilo
Si tratta di uno dei seggi più sicuri in Inghilterra, costituito da un'area con una lunga storia di voto conservatore e con una grande parte del suo elettorato che vota conservatore. Fu il collegio che, alla proclamazione dei risultati delle elezioni generali nel Regno Unito del 1992, vide i conservatori ottenere la 4º maggioranza più forte dal 1979 e John Major rieletto Primo Ministro.

Solo l'1,6% della popolazione è disoccupata, il che poneva Skipton and Ripon decisamente sotto la media nazionale di disoccupazione (3,8%) nel novembre 2012.

Confini
1983-1997: il distretto di Craven, e i ward del Borough di Harrogate di Almscliffe, Bishop Monkton, Boroughbridge, Fountains, Killinghall, Kirkby Malzeard, Lower Nidderdale, Mashamshire, Newby, Nidd Valley, Pateley Bridge, Ripon East, Ripon West, Wathvale e Wharfedale Moors.
1997-2010: il distretto di Craven, e i ward del Borough di Harrogate di Almscliffe, Bishop Monkton, Fountains, Killinghall, Kirkby Malzeard, Lower Nidderdale, Mashamshire, Nidd Valley, Pateley Bridge, Ripon East, Ripon West e Wharfedale Moors.
dal 2010: il distretto di Craven, e i ward del Borough di Harrogate di Bishop Monkton, Kirkby Malzeard, Lower Nidderdale, Mashamshire, Newby, Nidd Valley, Pateley Bridge, Ripon Minster, Ripon Moorside, Ripon Spa, Washburn e Wathvale.

Questa regione degli Yorkshire Dales copre l'intero distretto di Craven incluse le città di Skipton, Bentham e Settle. Copre anche le parti settentrionale e occidentale del Borough di Harrogate, incluse le città di Ripon, Pateley Bridge e Masham.

SPAA Doctoral Student Incorporates International Perspectives into Career
By Jade McClain //
SPAA,
Fulbright,
Before starting his PhD program at Rutgers School of Public Affairs and Administration (SPAA) in 2013, Javier Fuenzalida had never been to the United States.
Rutgers University - Newark is named 2021 HSI Leader by Fulbright program
Rutgers School of Public Affairs and Administration and The Citizens Campaign Establish Partnership to Advance Citizen Leadership in Greater Newark
Kyle Farmbry Named 10th President of Guilford College
Norma M. Riccucci to Deliver 2021 Herbert Simon Award Lecture during Annual Conference
"My wife, Andrea, and I moved from Chile to a totally different country," he said. "It was our first time living abroad and it was for four years."
Fuenzalida was drawn to the program after a rigorous search of public administration professors led him to SPAA's faculty. He read papers and books by Drs. Gregg Van Ryzin, Norma Riccucci, Marc Holzer, and Frank Thompson, and wanted the opportunity to work with them.
Through a Fulbright scholarship, Fuenzalida received assistance with the application process, a stipend for books, and visa sponsorship for him and his wife to stay in the United States during his studies. In tandem with the Fulbright, he also received a government-sponsored Becas Chile Scholarship that covered tuition and living expenses.
Fuenzalida's scholarships heightened his awareness of his responsibilities and expectations. He said he felt a looming pressure that didn't begin to dissipate until his third year in the program when newfound confidence and opportunities allowed him to finally enjoy his academic pursuits.
"The first two years were so stressful with regard to improving not only my English, but my academic writing and presentations, working with professors, keeping my scholarships, and generally trying to excel," Fuenzalida said.
"Working with Javier was always such a pleasure because he is very focused and has outstanding research skills," said Riccucci, Fuenzalida's doctoral advisor. "I actually learned a great deal from him as well because he has an immense amount of knowledge about how public organizations operate in Latin America."
Fuenzalida began teaching statistics and research methods courses in his third year, and said the experience of interacting with the master's students and learning about their research provided fresh perspectives and a positive experience.
In addition to teaching, Fuenzalida became the assistant director of the National Center for Public Performance (NCPP), an entity formerly housed at SPAA under the direction of Dean Emeritus Dr. Marc Holzer. The center focuses on improving productivity in the public sector through the study and promotion of performance measurement initiatives. Despite the enormity of his role, Fuenzalida said that he and NCPP Director Andrew Ballard were strongly supported by Holzer, who gave them the autonomy to pursue creative initiatives for the center.
In his role as a student, Fuenzalida credits several professors with helping him to absorb the material, serving as role models, and building a confidence that had previously been smothered by anxiety.
"Frank Thompson is perhaps the best professor that I've ever had in my life," Fuenzalida said. "Every lecture he gave was a masterpiece and when I teach my courses, I try to copy him. He really pushed us to think critically."
He said Thompson spurred his interest in researching "politicization," or the influence of politics in public administration – a topic that he would eventually select for his dissertation. In early 2017, Fuenzalida published an Inter-American Development Bank's article on the subject titled "Meritocracy in the Selection of Public Officials and its Effects on Organizational Performance: Results of an Exploratory Study in Latin America."
After four years in the United States, Fuenzalida moved back to his home country in May 2017 to work for the University of Chile as a research associate and professor for the industrial engineering department. His responsibilities include teaching, conducting research, and assisting the Chilean government and other Latin American governments in advancing public sector management.
While balancing a full-time position, Fuenzalida continues to work on his doctoral dissertation which will discuss the effects of politicization in Chile and Peru as they relate to merit systems for public officials. In studying these effects, he is examining case studies and conducting experiments in those countries.
Fuenzalida expects to complete his research in 2018, and looks forward to the day when he will return to the United States to successfully defend his dissertation and join the ranks of SPAA's doctoral alumni.


All of a sudden I had this feeling that Cleo was watching me.
She pretended to have no such plans or ideas and only wanted some of the same hay I was having. Fair enough, I thought and pretended to pay no attention to her. There's plenty of hay and we can nom like the friends we are.
PS: Follow Cleo, Suzy and Mr. Toes on FB!
Goji berry frenzy! Looks like you instigated a riot, Renee; hope nobun ended up in the paddy wagbun.
Mr. Toes, you know all those people who say "cherche la femme," well, they just don't know how hard that can be to do sometimes.


As I collect more instructional DVDs from artists I admire, I consistently hear them challenge painters to paint more from life to improve their abilities. But I have a hard time getting models who will sit for several hours while I practice (I have not been able to get anyone to sit for hours while I paint, not even my own family). So, I've determined that the best I can do for now is to paint "en plein aire" I am surrounded by the beautiful Appalachian mountains with winding rivers and pristine scenery, so I packed up the stuff last night and waited to hear back from a friend who agreed to paint with me on an overcast, cloudy Saturday.

Q: Migration versions across multiple directories If I want to organize my migrations in multiple directories (let's say I'm using SQL migrations, and under the "sql" directory I have a "main" directory and then a "special" directory).
So under sql/main I have "V1.1__some_change" etc.
Then I want to put other migrations under sql/special as well. But the migration version numbers have to be distinct across all the directories, e.g., I couldn't put "V1.1__some_other_change" in sql/special as it would cause a conflict.
But it's not that easy to manage a linear version number across many different directories. Is there a good approach to solve this issue?
Hope this question is clear.

A: Well it all depends on why special is "special" and how it is related to "main".
If they have the same lifecycle you could use a different numbering scheme (whole number in main, point releases in special) or track the assigned migration number in a shared resource (whiteboard, wiki page, ...) to make it easy to know which the next available one is.
If they have separate lifecycles, you could have separate Flyway instances tracking them (each with a different flyway.table).

A: Today I faced kind of a same issue. I updated Flyway 1.7 to the latest release being 2.0.3.
And I noted that migrations don't work anymore as they did in version 1.7.
We use different sub folders of the base folder (db.migrations) to hold migrations for different database schemes, which have separate lifecycles with their own schema_version tables:
src->main->resources->db.migrations
 ->business_partitions
     -> V1_1__BUSINESS_PARTITION_INDEXES.sql
     -> V1__BUSINESS_PARTITIOS.sql
 ->tech
     -> V1_1__TECH_CERTIFICATES_AND_DECRYPTORS_TABLES.sql
     -> V1__TECH.sql
     -> V2__JMS.sql
 ->view
     -> V1__PARTITION11_DB_CREATION_SCRIPT_VIEWS.sql

When we performed our db migrations today using the following lines in Java:
Flyway flyway = new Flyway();
flyway.setDataSource(dataSource);
flyway.setLocations("db.migrations.business_partitions");
flyway.migrate();

no migrations were done.
I dived a little in the flyway source code and discovered the problem was that the location was filtered out in the mergeLocations() method of the CompositeMigrationResolver class.
There, my location was filtered out since business_partitions is a subfolder of db.migrations, being the default value for BaseDir and BasePackage.
I worked around by setting the BaseDir and the BasePackage explicitly:
flyway.setBaseDir("db.migrations.business_partitions");
flyway.setBasePackage("db.migrations.business_partitions");

I read that those two methods will be deprecated in flyway 3, so maybe this will also fix our problem.
