Introducing Disney and Bakes

No Comments on Introducing Disney and Bakes
The idea came to me in Iceland. I could tell you it was the countless waterfalls, geysers and conquering sense of nature that inspired me. But it wasn't.
In my hotel room one night during our coach trip, I watched Julie and Julia. Meryl Streep stars as Julia Child, starting her professional cooking career in 1950s Paris. Intertwined is the story of Julie Powell (played by Amy Adams), the noughties New Yorker cooking and blogging her way through Child's first cookbook in just one year. You'll have to watch it yourself to find out what happens (and let me know, as I fell asleep before the end).
Since half-watching the true story film, I've been sleeping on my own cooking blog challenge. Almost two years later, I'm finally ready to just get on with it. I'm going to review every Walt Disney Animation Studios feature film (the 'Disney Classics' in order from Snow White to Moana) and bake something to go along with it. Sometimes it'll be my own recipe, other times something I've never baked before.

This Disney and Bakes series will be posted on the first Wednesday of each month. Please do share your thoughts on the films and food. As the project goes on, they'll be guest reviewers and bakers too. Let me know if you'd like to be one of them, or a taste tester.
And it will go on. There's 54 films to work through, so my one-a-month rate makes this is a four year project. You'll have to wait two years to see what we bake for Beauty and the Beast and until 2021 for Frozen. I'm definitely a Disney fan: my nephew knows my best friends (apart from him) are Mickey Mouse and Tigger. But I've never watched every film and I'm excited to track and taste my way through film history.
My first post will be Snow White this Wednesday, 1st March. Get your apples at the ready, preferably not the poisoned ones.

It's still about bathrooms in American government
Who was surprised? #45 has started rolling back transgender protection. President Obama had introduced guidelines only in May stating transgender students can use toilets and changing rooms that match their chosen, not birth, gender identity in their school. By revoking these guidelines, it's now up to individual stats and schools to decide, creating a postcode lottery of protection.
This is the first act made by the White House against the LGBTQ communities and strengthens states like Texas and their proposed transphobic laws despite clear evidence of the economic ruin it will cause. Caitlyn Jenner, the vocal transgender Republican supporter was surprised that #45 broke his flimsy promise to the LGBTQ community. Inclusion isn't just important, it is life saving, as shown by a decrease in young suicide attempts since same-sex marriage was legalised.
Well @realDonaldTrump, from one Republican to another, this is a disaster. You made a promise to protect the LGBTQ community. Call me. pic.twitter.com/XwYe0LNUOq

Church of England votes to be more inclusive
In the middle of the month, the Church of England's governing body met. It's made up of Bishops (senior church leaders), Vicars (local church leaders) and laity (church members). They narrowly decided not to take note of a report by the Bishops on sexuality which maintained 'the church must stand against homophobia', but cannot bless same sex relationships, let alone marriage. The vote sent a clear message that the report does not go far enough and church leaders have already said what they'll do next to bring a 'radical inclusion' into the church.
Unity of the Church of England and global anglican communion is exceptionally important to its leaders. To those outside the church, it must look like letting homophobes block progress and prove the church is irrelevant. Whether the Church of England introduces same sex marriage in the next few decades (it won't be quick) matters because
Some young people still go to church. They need to hear about inclusion.
Churches are pretty buildings that same sex couples may want to get married in
Many local churches run foodbanks, homeless shelters, coffee mornings. They are physical spaces at the centre of the community. What they say, and if they stay open can again be life or death.
You can watch the whole two hour debate on BBC iPlayer, which included this speech from young activist Lucy Gorman.

Choose or ditch the label?
Three big studies were reported this month. Here's the headlines to take away from each of them:
Homophobia, biphobia and transphobia costs the global economy $100billion every year
Almost a third of Britons (31%) think homosexuality is a choice. 49% think it isn't a choice, because people are born that way
Ditch the Label's survey of UK and US young people found most no longer label their sexuality as gay or straight
Don't read Camilla Long's review of Moonlight for The Sunday Times (it's behind a paywall so you probably can't anyway). I lost respect for her valid criticisms of the film for her sheer ignorance claiming the story of a young gay black man in Miami 'has been told countless times, against countless backdrops.' Instead, read Josh Lee's article on the Oscar-worthy (soon to be Oscar-winning) film reflecting his own identity.

#QueerSOS
Last night I went to my first LGBTQ-anything in Southend-on-Sea, the hometown I've lived in for 27 year. Local performance and community artist Scottee brought queer voices together round a takeaway to discuss 'Is Southend Homophobic?' I was reminded that change and visibility happens when people come together and make it happen. That's why Manchester is planning the UK's first LGBT retirement home, why Greg Owen has saved lives with a dramatic drop in new HIV infections and why UK Black Pride started (with it turns out a trip to Southend). We didn't achieve any of that last night, but as our town's voices and organisations join together, let's see what happens.

My Gay Agenda: Rent and Moonlight
No Comments on My Gay Agenda: Rent and Moonlight
Rent is a very special musical to me. Its pretty-faithful-but-flat adaptation is the last film I watched with my Dad, on the weekend back in 2008 when my Grandma died. Standout songs including Without You stayed with me. Only now watching the UK 20th anniversary tour did the whole show, not just the songs, make sense and make an impact on me.
If all you know is the omnipresent Seasons of Love, you're in for a shock. Based on the opera La bohème, Rent is an angry story of protest, resistance and survival that seems relevant in 2017 (I know 'relevant in 2017' is already a clichéd phrase). A slightly irritating group of artists struggle in 1990s New York as they face up to poverty, sex, drugs and HIV/Aids. Mark lives for his work as a filmmaker, while Roger is trying to write one last great rock song. There's also Mark's ex Maureen who's now dating lawyer Joanne, drug addict neighbour Mimi and gentrification personified in landlord Benny.
It's an intimate, human musical which offers profound thoughts on individuality, relationships, compassion and dignity. The fluid staging and exceptional choreography propels you through a marathon first half all set on one Christmas Eve, before the plot fast forwards for Act Two. Drag queen drummer Angel and her new boyfriend Collins stand out as the only truly likeable (and implausibly perfect) characters, with wonderful vocals, dancing and a tender love that will make you cry. This is a production of Rent that gives the late Jonathan Larson's poignant and surprisingly timeless work the staging it and UK audiences deserve. Definitely worth a trip to see at a theatre near or not so near you.

Rent is now touring until May, including 7th-11th March at New Victoria Theatre. If you can't make it, there's a live DVD recording of the final Broadway show from 2008.
I'm still not sure on my verdict on Moonlight, the much publicised film painted as the only real contender to La La Land at next week's Oscars. Certainly the low budget and tight production time – only three days to shoot with Naomie Harris, actors who've not yet met speaking for the first time on screen – make the film more impressive, along with the autobiographical meshing from director Barry Jenkins and playwright Tarell McCraney. But films are judged on what we see, not how they were made. Today Mark Kermode in the Observer named it his film of 2017, while Camilla Long for The Sunday Times found the hype that calls it relevant and urgent flawed 'because Moonlight barely has 10 minutes of plot'. My amateur film buff friends are equally divided on their verdicts. Some found it brilliant, others utterly boring.
The film shows the life of Chiron in the projects (social housing) of Miami as a seven year old black boy, a teenager and a 20-something adult. His life has plenty of plot and characters to go with it, including a heroin addict mother, a drug dealer that mentors him like a father and Kevin, a friend that he has sex with. In each of the three acts (with three physically different actors, but you never doubt they're one character) there's powerful moments transformation and vulnerability. It's all scored and shot beautifully, with what's unsaid often speaking more than the dialogue. Moonlight is a snapshot of black, gay and masculine identities painfully colliding together. It wasn't made for it's own hype to win Oscars. The inescapable sense of worthiness that comes with it is sincere not snobbish.
Some moments gave me flashbacks to my own experiences growing up, as I'm sure it will for most of the audience. That's not to reduce Moonlight to universality. The wide reach and critical acclaim unquestionably makes it a ground-breaking film on black and gay identities that (as my friend Sarah has already said in her review) is so personal, you cannot escape a commonality to some part of it. I wasn't bored or compelled watching. I was intrigued, hopeful but frustrated by Chiron and what his upbringing forced him to be. It's not the best film I've seen this year (that's probably between Manchester by the Sea and A Monster Calls for now) yet I know I'll watch it again and feel something I missed on the first watch. Ignore the hype and go see it for yourself. I didn't, which as usual set my anticipation impossibly high.
Moonlight is out now
Camilla Long's terrible #Moonlight review is an attempt to dominate black creativity. Countering it felt important. https://t.co/oo7aQ52Et5

No Comments on #LGBTQProgress (Sunday 12th February)
30 years ago yesterday (February 11th) Mark Ashton died. Founding member of Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners, and real-life hero of 2014 film Pride had been diagnosed with HIV/Aids just twelve days earlier.

— Steve Taylor (@danophile) February 11, 2017
It's poignant to mark the anniversary in 2017 when there's a genuine and growing sense of the kind of protest and solidarity that Mark led in the 1980s. And especially so in February, LGBT History Month, which started with news items that definitely show progress (progress, not perfection). The Turing Pardon came into effect and new HIV infections across England have decreased by a third in one year.
Stigma not sexuality affects your mental health
Three new reports highlight the unsurprisingly links between LGBTQ identities and mental health:
An Australian study makes it clear poor mental health doesn't come from your sexuality, but probably the stigma and sexual trauma of growing up gay in a heteronormative world.
It's even worse for LGBTQ people brought up religious, who are 12 times more likely to experience poor mental health.
In London, 40% of LGBTI people have poor mental health. That's 32,000 people in total.
What's the solutions? Good support networks, GPs trained on inclusion and the end of institutionalised homophobia in the church. Expect this week's Church of England General Synod to be all talk and no action on that one.

This book is… not allowed?
Transgender author Juno Dawson has been on a schools tour promoting her new young adult novel Margot and Me. At the start of the week, one parent was angry her 12 year old daughter came home with This Book is Gay. And unrelated on Friday, Buzzfeed News revealed Juno's visit to a Catholic school had been cancelled in a transphobic shun. So that's another two reasons to support #SREnow.
I'll say it again: Young LGBTQ people: you deserve Sex Ed too and there is nothing inappropriate about it.

Down Under and Out
Same-sex marriage is back on Australia's political agenda. This week, its Parliament heard any bill legalising same sex marriage would 'destroy the whole human race'. Enter reality TV show Bride and Prejudice. Chris invited his devout Jehovah's Witness parents to his wedding (in Florida, where it's legal), telling them 'you can choose all of me, or you can choose none of me.'
Buzzfeed summed up the whole story of the show and outpouring of social media support.
My Gay Agenda: Newsies
3rd February 2017 3:58 pm
No Comments on My Gay Agenda: Newsies
The 1990s continue to be good for Disney. Aladdin and The Lion King are still London's biggest stage spectacles, while hype around next month's Beauty and the Beast remake is already making us revisit a tale as old as our childhoods, if not quite as old as time. Before then another 90s Disney story is back in cinemas, but you've probably not heard it before.
Newsies was a 1992 Razzie-winning musical film flop featuring a young Christian Bale. Through video and DVD releases, it slowly grew a cult following that convinced Disney to take it to the stage. Originally intended for a limited run, the show with a rewritten plot and additional songs stayed on Broadway for three years and won two Tony awards. On Sunday 19th February, Newsies: The Broadway Musical is in UK cinemas and earlier this week I joined some of the 'fansies' for a preview. Here's five reasons why you might want to get your tickets and watch what happens.
It's a story about protest and who controls the media
Very loosely based on the Newsboys' Strike of 1899, Newsies pits the teenagers selling papers on street corners against Joseph Pulitizer, owner of The World. With the help of budding reporter Katherine, they form a union and strike. The plot left me with gentle and clear messages about leadership, building coalitions and social justice. It's not as radical or angry as Rent, another NYC protest musical, but is just as rousing and timely a story for 2017.
Jeremy Jordan is stunning
Known for TV roles in Smash and Supergirl, Jeremy Jordan puts his good looks and swagger to great use playing Jack Kelly. He gives an easy, at some points emotional performance as the conflicted Newsies leader who wants to escape the downtrodden city life. Santa Fe especially shows off his natural musical theatre vocals and beautiful face with plenty of close-ups to appreciate. Steve Blanchard also makes his mark in the show as the calculated Joseph Pulitzer.
Jeremy Jordan as Jack Kelly
There's tough guys in vests doing backflips and tap
The three-dozen male ensemble supporting Jeremy Jordan left me unexpectedly thirsty for a Wednesday morning. Christopher Gattelli's award-winning choreography, full of blackflips, spins, leaps and a tap number perfectly matches Alan Menken's music and Jack Feldman's playful lyrics. While there's no stand-out songs on first listen, I was humming the tunes on my way home and remembering the sheer joy of those dance breaks. Now I've got the soundtrack firmly on repeat.
It's all filmed very well
This specially-recorded performance succeeds at placing you in the theatre as much as it can and never falls flat. In the odd moment the live theatre audience sounded like a forced laughter track, but one I was mostly laughing along with. The camera angles make you look up as if you're there and sweeps through the stage at all the right moments, while the fight scene is cut together well to put you in middle of the action. Don't think this is a quick or lazy recording. Disney wants everyone to experience the musical, and that's how they've shot it.
It's Disney, of course it's a bit predictable
Yes, there's a romance sub-plot I could do without including a boy, a girl and an Alan Menken love duet. By the end of Act One, I could see the ending coming but not how we'd get there. I cared about the characters and wanted to come back to watch more.
And ultimately, that's why you should go see Newsies. Its exceptionally high production values brings a bit of Disney Broadway predictability, comfort and fun to your local cinema. Book your tickets and enjoy. You can watch Songs of Praise on catch-up. What else would you do on a Sunday afternoon?
Newsies: The Broadway Musical is in selected UK cinemas on Sunday 19th February, and various dates internationally. Check www.newsiesthemusical.com to find out where it's screening near you and book tickets.

In the latest instalment of our sit-down player interview series, we catch up with teenager Harvey Vale to reflect on a season in which he has made his debut in the League Cup and FA Cup, learnt from senior players and not looked out of place...
Vale joined our Academy at the age of 12 from neighbours Fulham and has caught the eye during his ascent through the age groups by virtue of a terrific left foot and an ability to consistently impact games in the final third.
He is still six months away from his 19th birthday and remains eligible to feature in this season's FA Youth Cup, a competition in which our youngsters have reached the semi-final stage once again.
After regular exposure to senior training at Cobham, Thomas Tuchel handed the Sussex-born youngster an early present with a debut in the Carabao Cup away at Brentford three days before Christmas. He has featured on five occasions in total, all as a substitute, and now takes his turn to answer our 10 questions.
Let's begin by going back to the summer of 2020 when you had just started as a first-year full-time scholar with the Academy. You had some training sessions with the men's first team pre-season straightaway…
It was when Frank Lampard was the manager. I was 16 and I spent a good few weeks with them in pre-season. It was crazy! I was only a schoolboy at the time and I was training with big stars and they were all really good to me.
I got on in one of the games in pre-season, against Brighton, and I feel that's all helped me for when I've come over to train with the first team again. I've got a bit of experience and I take that back to help the boys in the Academy as well.
At the time, I just sort of took training with them at such an early age in my stride, but then a few months later when I had time to reflect and talk to my family about it, it's crazy when you think about it. I was so young.
Does it feel like you have made steady progress ever since then?
Yeah, I do feel it has been like that. Obviously there have been some highs and lows but I feel like it's been steady and good, and then recently towards the Christmas period this season it accelerated. I've become a bit more involved with the team now.
I train quite regularly with them and I feel like it's helping me a lot. I feel like I'm improving a lot. The senior players give me advice and I love it.
When it comes to senior players from which you can learn, we have a good number who play in similar attacking positions to you, and with a range of styles and qualities, and you are a versatile player yourself…
If you speak with each of them, you can take different bits from each of their games because they all play it so differently and at different speeds and tempos, so I feel like it's good for me. To learn from them I can try to add the best bits from each of their games into mine.
I have played a fair few positions in my time and that benefits me as a footballer. I'm happy if it helps the team for me to show I have that sort of the tactical understanding. That will help me in my career no matter where or who I play for.
Playing left-back at an early age helped my understanding of the game and different roles. Now I'm playing on the wing with a left-back behind me I understand what he's thinking and we have a good relationship. I can fill in if he goes forward. Also, if you've played there and you are taking on a left-back, you sort of know what they're thinking and what they see. You can do the counter of that whatever they are thinking so 100 per cent that helps.
That period before Christmas, when you made your debut in the Carabao Cup game at Brentford, did it help that a group of you from the Academy were involved?
Definitely. It's always nice coming over from the Academy as a group. It can be scary if you come by yourself. I was speaking to one of the other boys with me and he said if he came over by himself, he wouldn't know where to go, so as a group you can stick together and you feel a bit more at home.
There's a few times when I've come in by myself and everyone did make me feel welcome but it's nice to share those moments with your mates.
It is significant that in the fourth of your six first team appearances so far, in the FA Cup match at Luton, you were brought on when the team were behind and there was still half-an-hour to go…
I was really proud of that, because the team was losing in one of the biggest competitions in England and the manager and his staff showed trust in me to bring me on. That really meant a lot and coming on when the team was 2-1 down and then winning 3-2 shows I did some things right. That was probably one of the proudest moments I have had so far.
In his post-match interview after that game, Ruben Loftus-Cheek praised you for holding your own against strong and physical opponents and not looking out of place…
Luton were really physical but I just tried to focus on my game. They might be more physical but if you think quickly, you are maybe able to get the better of them. And Ruben has been a big help to me.
As you have come through the development process, you have often played against older players, so has that helped with challenges like the Luton game?
In my career I've always played above my age group and that has developed me physically. I feel physically comfortable playing against men.
It helps mentality if you've been doing it for years, you are not scared playing against older players, you just sort of do your own thing.
Alongside your first team involvement has been the Academy season. How do you view that?
It's been a tough season in PL2 but recently we have had a couple of good performances and we feel if we keep performing to that level, the results will come. There are a few second years who play in the Under-23s and we're still in the FA Youth Cup. Also the Under-18s are fighting for the league and they recently got through to the final of the Premier League Cup, so there's still a lot for the Academy to fight for.
The FA Youth Cup is getting to the final stages, it is exciting, we are into the semi-finals where we play Nottingham Forest and the Youth Cup is always a massive competition when you see the players who have played in it in the past, like Mase, Reece, Trev, who won it for us and we're looking to bring it back to Chelsea.
In the previous Youth Cup round, a win over Blackpool at Stamford Bridge, you scored a goal that was voted runner-up in the Chelsea Goal of the Month vote, and rather reminded everyone of a Hakim Ziyech goal…
When I scored it I did think I've seen that before! I'm sure everyone saw Hakim's goal against Tottenham and it was sort of like that. It is probably one of my best goals. It's nice playing as a right winger and coming in on your left foot when you see it open up. Once you manage to catch it and you see it is going in it's always nice.
To finish, tell us about your brother Morgan and your father's involvement in non-league football…
My brother plays for my local team, AFC Uckfield, and my dad's part of the staff there, so if I have a game on a Saturday and he's playing on a Sunday, me and my mum will always go, watch and support. And I love it. It's fun.
It's not quite the same standard but it is certainly enjoyable, and he's always supported me, and I think it's important to stay in touch with proper English grassroots football.

Nobody who voted on 23 June could possibly have known what life outside the EU would actually look like and, more than two months on from the referendum, we are no closer to the truth. Perhaps we'll leave the EU one day, but I doubt it. It would be a step into the dark.


Within the next few weeks Veno expects to fly his first mission into Laos. "I can't think of a better way to die," he states, then, getting carried away again, repeats: "This USO is so great it's unreal."
Martin Woolacott's report from Quang Tri, "Custer in the Clouds," appeared in the February 19 Guardian. He's a sober Englishman but finds himself astonished by the young American pilots who go flying into the helicopter hell of southern Laos.
"They are the most astonishing bands, these 19 and 20-year old (helicopter pilots) that the US Army trains up in nine months and thrusts into Vietnam. sustained by a strange combination of adolescent fantasies and immediate personal loyalties."
Is it unfair to say that an American today writing like this for American editors might be suspected of having strayed into the jungle and contracted a rare brain fungus?
It is well that war is hell, lest we become too fond ot it.

There is significant evidence that literacy - that is, ability to read, understand and produce the writing in a given language - has a major relationship to people's opportunities in life. Nonetheless, there are masses of persons across Europe, who lack this core aptitude.
In a professional context, it is not surprising that the illiterate are disadvantaged, considering the volume of jobs which require, at the very least, basic language skills. They are taken for granted - as they indeed should - at least in the mother tongue of the person. In addition, the bureaucracy in European countries is carried out majorly in writing, and few states provide the necessary and sensitive aid that illiterate people need. Our social, educational and political systems have yet to create an environment where all citizens are provided with the minimum literacy required for fulfilling and independent life. This issue is identified and addressed in our mission as an entity.
However, there are further ramifications than mere paperwork and business.
Firstly, and rather self-evidently, illiterate individuals are deprived of mainstream education. Though it may be faulted in many areas - and we work towards enhancing it - it does provide a solid and meaningful basis for the development of further abilities, be it in Art, Science, even Sport. Such a person may have a considerable talent in, say, engineering, however it remains undiscovered, unexplored and undeveloped due to the lack of tools in their arsenal. In line with the Butterfly effect, this ultimately entails corollaries into the social life, economy and politics of larger communities - and, quite naturally, impairs or even destroys a life.
Secondly, at Linguistic Aid Kit - as one may deduce - we highly cherish verbal arts, among which Literature is paramount. It has been one of the main tools of transmitting information across space and time for millennia. Aside from factual statements, Literature is powerful in its ability to inspire curiosity, to liven the imagination, to pose important philosophical questions. People with poor literacy are unable to enjoy this vast pool of experiences which should be available to all. Unlike ballet, opera or precious fine art, Literature is geographically and economically very accessible; the only true limitation resides within the illiterate.
Thirdly, illiteracy restricts people's communication opportunities. While we all consider email and social network to be now irreplaceable parts of our lives, we must consider that they are of no use to those who cannot read a messages left in their inbox. Yes, there are alternatives, such as telephones or voice messages. Notwithstanding, we are responsible for allowing those with difficulties into the modern world in all its aspects.
In its vast majority, illiteracy is a top-down problem: it is not caused by individuals but by systems. Though il- and poor literacy are usually intuitively associated with developing countries, this is not necessarily the case. For this reason, we would like to help people in Europe. Here, we are surrounded by the fruits and demands of literacy which, in their turn, create a sizeable problem for those unable to interact with them. To substantiate this statement, some facts are listed below. All of those are specifically true of the UK, though they are indicative for most of Europe.
These facts are the reason why our mission is so clear, bold and ambitious.

Queens Of The Stone Age: Lullabies To Paralyze
Patrick Slevin
Sure to find its way onto many a critic's Top 10 list this year, Lullabies To Paralyze, the latest offering from Josh Homme's main gig, Queens Of The Stone Age, is nearly impossible to discuss without mentioning the line-up changes from their 2002 breakthrough Songs For The Deaf.
Featuring a fresh rhythm section due to the departure of Oliveri and Grohl, the new album has a similar feel but a different approach. The production is deliberately low-fi but meticulously crafted and the vocal harmonies are in focus more than ever. Don't let the line-up change dissuade you, either; the rhythms still kick all shades of ass and move from straight up rock to swaggering blues to catchy wood block simplicity (there's no cowbell on "Little Sister") with ease and tasteful sophistication.
On a whole, Lullabies To Paralyze seems to possess a more singular vision. While Songs For The Deaf had its share of bells and whistles, due to Grohl's distinctive drumming among other things, the new record is more tasteful in its characteristic stops and sometimes side-swiping part changes. The songs contain both playful and mournful elements and the arrangements, especially the vocal harmonies, are memorable and inspired. Guitar melodies are seamlessly arranged and even the most far-out sections of the disc seem natural.
Above all, it's an enjoyable and damn catchy listen. I can stop at any point in the album and the chorus will be in my head until I turn it back on. By far one of the best rock and roll outings of the year.

Suggestions for flowers for shade and fast growing?
Go to your local nursery and inquire; the little plastic stakes in potted plants should inform as to shade or sun. Library books or internet you need to know what zone of the country you live in, to select ones that will grow well. Hope this helps.
Hi Margarita! My lantana doesn't like too much sun, and it grows really fast. It's been around awhile, so if you buy a small one it may be a few years before it gets to its full size. Give it plenty of room!
If you're looking for perennials, and you have plenty of water, try hosta or astilbe. Both are great for shady spots. I also like daylilies and have had great luck growing them in partial shade.
It depends if you want color or just greenery. Hostas grow great in the shade. I've had fantastic results with Impatiens in the shade. They come in several different colors.

MAZDA'S LE MANS HEROES SPEAR THE SUSSEX SKY
Bob Murray
One of the great surprises of any Festival of Speed is finally revealed…
It's been speculated about, hinted at and occasionally (naughty!) tweeted, but as of today the big secret's out and the Central Feature in front of Goodwood House is there for all to admire.
And also, like all Central Features, to become an iconic part of the festival, featuring in the background of a million photographs.
After so many memorable automotive works of art in recent years, what's this one all about? Can there be anything left to do that hasn't already been done?
The answer to that is a big 'yes'. This is the first Central Feature celebrating this year's featured marque, Mazda – motorsport-mad, convention-defying Mazda – and you can't miss the fact. A gleaming white tower is topped by two cars that could only be from the most individual and characterful of Japan's car companies.
If you haven't worked out what they are yet (they are floating 40m, 131ft, up in the air after all…) the cars tick boxes for both Mazda's motorsport heritage and its passion for being different.
One is the now-iconic form of the Mazda 787B, the screaming rotary-engined, make-your-ears-bleed hero of La Sarthe in 1991 and the first, and only, Japanese car ever to win Le Mans. Don't believe us when we say it's noisy? Check out our video here.
The other is a modern day homage to the Le Mans winner in the form of the Mazda LM55, a digital vision, designed for the GranTurismo 6 game, made real. And a complete stunner – for many people the best looker of the whole Vision Gran Turismo series.
And the sculpture itself? At first sight it's a giant Jenga game, hundreds (actually 418) white bars piled into a tower that twists and and turns as it rises skywards.
It looks simple. But closer inspection reveals a far more complex shape, full of tension as the criss-crossing bars combine in an elegant twisting form whose obvious strength defies its elegant lightness and delicacy.
In these things the sculpture is the essence of Kodo Design, Mazda's successful 'Soul of Motion' ethos that shapes all the road cars, most recently with the equally strong yet delicate new Mazda MX-5 roadster (which incidentally will also be on show at FoS and which you can read about here).
Like Central Features for the past 18 years, the Mazda sculpture is the work of Gerry Judah. Quoted in The Telegraph, the sculptor said: 'I started to play with hundreds of ideas based on our discussions to do with twisted metal forms; trying out version after version until I came up with just a very simple twist, promptly leaving me with the age-old problem of how to make it work.'
Make it work he did, and in spectacular fashion. Unlike recent sculptures which were monocoques where the metal skin provides the strength, this year's celebration of Mazda's motorsport and design heritage is made of exactly what it seems to be made of: solid steel bars.
Together the bars weigh 120 tonnes, their foundation goes down 3m and (here it comes, that unmissable FoS sculpture factoid – ed) if all the bars were laid end to end they would stretch from the hillclimb start line right to the finish, or a distance of 1.16miles.
Maybe when it's all over for another year we will lay them all out, just to check… meantime, 200,000 or so visitors to FoS this weekend will stand in awe at another spectacular marriage of motorsport and sculptural art – one that could only be Goodwood.

Niavaran Cultural Center
Italy, Iran after formation of new era in cultural relations
Tehran, Nov 14, IRNA - Cultural Attaché of Italian Embassy in Tehran Yaroslava Romanova said on Saturday that her country tries to establish new era in cultural cooperation with Iran in post-pandemic period.
Romanova made the remarks at her visit to Niavaran Cultural Center where the 11th national biennial of contemporary Iranian ceramic art is underway in north Tehran.
During her visit, the Italian official appreciated precious art works presented in the biennial event and said she welcomes cooperation in holding art events in this cultural Iranian center.
Speaking about the history of cultural relations between Rome and Tehran, the official hoped new era of cultural cooperation to be formed between the two after the pandemic.
In a related development, advisor to Iran's Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance Ebad Reza Eslami Koulaei, who hosted the Italian cultural attaché, said Tehran and Rome enjoy great capacities for cooperation.
Eslami Koulaei, also Director of Niavaran Cultural Center, stressed the need to develop cultural cooperation with Italy and other European countries as well.
He further said he is eager to sign agreement of cooperation with important cultural centers in Italy.

Teddy Hobbs, aged four, becomes the UK's youngest Mensa member
January 24, 2023 by Editoriel staff
Mensa is an international organisation for individuals who have an IQ in the top two per cent of the population.
Teddy Hobbs, a four-year old boy from southwest England, taught himself to read at the age of two.
He has become the UK's youngest member.
A British child who taught himself how to read at the age of two has become the UK's youngest member of Mensa, an exclusive global society known for its brain power.
Teddy Hobbs, a four-year-old boy from southwest England, can count to 100 in several languages, including Mandarin.
His mother, Beth Hobbs, said during an interview with the BBC that she first started to notice Teddy's appetite for learning when he said he was only interested in educational programs on television during a COVID-19 lockdown.
"He could count to 100 before he was two, in English. And I just assumed, every child has their own quirk. Each child develops slightly quicker in something else than the other ones. And we just assumed that was his thing and that was fine and that that would be the end of it," she said.
"And then during lockdown obviously … [he] watched a bit more television than he would do normally… He was adamant he only wanted to watch the educational ones [programs]."
Mensa is an international organisation for high-IQ individuals who attain a score above the 98th percentile of the general population, on Mensa-approved intelligence tests.
Ms Hobbs recalls messaging others in a WhatsApp group asking if their children had similar behaviours.
"The answers came back as no, no, they're not. And so we phoned the health visitor and said, 'look, I think he's teaching himself how to read'."
Teddy gained entry to Mensa at the age of three after completing a Mensa IQ test and scoring of 139 out of 160.
But his parents said they wanted him to have a rounded childhood, the BBC reports.

For local artist Annie Kennedy, music and performing have been synchronous since she was a child. Performing in school, the church choir and even the lead role in, coincidentally, the musical of the same first name in middle school, this west suburban soon-to-be country star is aiming at building on her success.
Kennedy, now living in Nashville, joked while she talked about the big change between living in The Music City versus her childhood home in west suburban Westchester.
And focused she is. Just off the release of her debut album "Highway Songs" – now available in the iTunes store – Kennedy cut seven original songs for the album, all in which she had a hand in writing.
All of these musical influences helped define her country style Kennedy said, "As modern country with a classic country twist- you can hear it in the writing and in the production on the album." Kennedy has played the piano since she was young and is self-taught on guitar. When she performs, she typically plays in a three-piece group and is working on expanding into a full band.
With all of this country music flowing in her blood, the move to Nashville seemed like the natural, right thing for her to do.
With her determination and passion for the craft, that future is looking bright for Kennedy.
Now she's focused on getting some stage credits. After a quick show in Minnesota this week, Kennedy will be back in Illinois for two upcoming shows. The first, at Carmen's Jazz Bistro in Palos Heights on July 7 from 7-8:30 PM followed by her first "homecoming concert" at Westchester Fest on July 9 from 4-5 PM.

Great job Melissa. You should get paid to write.
Wow Melissa, excellent article. You've captured Annie's story perfectly. Thanks for the great job!


Based on the belief that exposure to seeing food growing was an important part of changing our common understanding and value of food, the original design of the farm allowed passerby's to see a full urban lot producing food.
White in the garden calms and cools. Liatris Alba gives vertical interest to the garden. Pick one up at The Arbor.
We've had a lazy morning sunbathing in the garden ☀🌿 And now we're off to London to watch 8 out of 10 cats - so looking forward to this!! Hope you all have a wonderful evening starting off the bank holiday - any BBQs?!

Area Guide: The Hertfordshire town of Hemel Hempstead

24 miles north-west of London with a population of about 95,000, Hemel Hempstead offers an interesting mix of old and new.
The Marlowes has a range of shops and eateries, including Argos, River Island, Caffe Nero and Burger King - Credit: Archant
Hemel has existed as a settlement since the 8th century, and was granted its town charter in 1539 by King Henry VIII.
It was declared a New Town in 1947, with expansion plans put in place to accommodate Londoners moving out of slum housing or homes that had been bombed during the war. The first residents moved into their homes in Adeyfield in 1950.
The Old Town High Street remains a pretty and vibrant place to visit, with Tudor, Georgian and Victorian buildings housing shops selling everything from antiques to angling supplies. There are also many popular pubs, cafes and restaurants in the area, with a wide range of cuisine, including Indian, Italian and Thai.
Hemel has no shortage of shops, cafes and restaurants - Credit: Archant
Hemel is famous for its 'magic roundabout' – an interchange at the end of the town centre where traffic from six routes meets. Vehicles circulate in both directions around a central 'roundabout'. It was the first such system in Britain.
Hemel has good road links to the M1 motorway and M25. The A41 dual carriageway was built in the 1990s, to the south and west of the town, across the upland chalk plateau.
The railway station in Hemel is a mile outside of the town centre in Boxmoor. It is on the West Coast Main Line and runs frequent services between London Euston and the Midlands.
The town has a population of around 95,000 - Credit: Archant
There is a bus interchange next to the Marlowes shopping centre on Bridge Street – or if travelling by water is more your style, there is a popular route for narrowboats by way of the Grand Junction Canal.
There are several state-maintained secondary schools in town, including The Hemel Hempstead School, John F Kennedy Catholic School and Longdean School, all of which were rated 'good' by Ofsted at their last inspections.
XC offers caving as well as a skate park, climbing wall and high ropes - Credit: Archant
Fee-paying alternatives in or near Hemel include Abbot's Hill, a day school for girls aged from four to 16; Lockers Park, a day and boarding school for boys aged four to 13 years (which also takes girls in pre-prep) and Westbrook Hay, a co-educational school for children from three to 13 years.
Split into the 'old' and 'new' town, there is almost everything you could want in terms of shopping and services, including a wide choice of supermarkets, clothes shops and independent convenience stores.
The 'magic roundabout' is arguably Hemel's most famous feature - Credit: Archant
Entertainment facilities are plentiful – Jarman Square is home to DJ's Play Park soft play, an ice skating rink, a Cineworld multiplex and a gym, plus a handful of popular chain restaurants. Across the road is XC, with its skate park, climbing wall, caving and high ropes,
The Snow Centre on St Albans Hill offers indoor skiing and snowboarding, there is an outdoor skate park on Leighton Buzzard Road and Quasar is a lasar tag venue in the Marlowes.
There's also plenty of choice when it comes to team sports. Hemel Hempstead Town football (which dates back to 1885) play in the National League South and are nicknamed The Tudors. Several amateur sides exist in Hemel too.
Camelot Rugby Club is almost a hundred years old and plays in London 2 North West, a seventh-tier league in the English rugby union league system. Hemel Stags were admitted to the third tier Championship 1 in 2013 and now operate at a semi-professional level.
Hemel Hempstead Town Cricket Club, established in 1850, has a pitch and practice facilities near the town centre. There is also the Boxmoor Cricket Club which has a ground on Blackbirds Moor and Leverstock Green Cricket Club close by.
Many other sports and activities are provided by Sportspace – the operating name of Dacorum Sports Trust (a non-profit company and registered charity). There are several facilities, including a sports centre, swimming pool and running track.
Other sporting groups in Hemel include bowls, hockey, tennis, golf and athletics clubs.
Favourite pubs in Hemel include The Paper Mill (a higher end gastropub in Apsley, by the canal) and The Plough, a British steakhouse and carvery with a lovely beer garden on Leverstock Green Road.
The Fishery Inn in Fishery Road, Boxmoor, offers a separate vegan menu alongside its meatier offerings, while The Old Chequers, Gaddesden Row, is described as a great country pub with lovely accommodating staff and an impressive garden with a play area for children.
There are also restaurants and takeaways catering for all tastes, including The Cochin (Indian), Calzone Essential Pizza (Italian), The Happy Garden (Chinese) and Sea World Fish & Chips.

$32M in sewage works bonds OK'd for two projects: Culvert under downtown Bloomington, wastewater treatment plant capacity expansion
Dave Askins Bloomington November 5, 2020 March 9, 2022 2 Minutes
The daily flow data shows that the Dillman wastewater treatment plant frequently exceeds its rated capacity of 15 million gallons a day (lower red line). The expansion project is designed to increase the capacity to 20 million gallons a day (upper red line).
The red dashed line is drawn at 90-percent of the 15 MGD rated capacity of the Dillman Road treatment plant.

Why does the "Jordan River" culvert that runs under downtown Bloomington need to be upsized? This is the view on Feb. 7, 2019 after a heavy rain, looking south on Indiana Avenue on the edge of the IU campus. (Dave Askins/Square Beacon)
At its regular meeting on Wednesday, Bloomington's city council approved $32 million in sewage works revenue bonds, to help pay for two major projects.
One is a $23-million expansion and modernization project for the city's Dillman Road wastewater treatment plant. The capacity of the plant will be increased by 25 percent one-third, from 15 million gallons a day to 20 million gallons a day.
The expansion is needed because the plant has, on an annual basis, consistently exceeded 90-percent of its designed flow rate of 15 million gallons. The exceedances were noted by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management in 2016.
According to the city's director of utilities Vic Kelson, the expansion should give the plant enough capacity to handle increases in population projected through about 2035.
The other project to be financed by the sewage revenue bonds is an $11-million renovation of the stormwater culvert that runs under downtown Bloomington, from the western edge of the Indiana University between Kirkwood Avenue and 6th Street. The open stream that flows across the campus is known as the "Jordan River."
The replacement cross sections of the stormwater tunnel will measure 24 feet by 5 feet and and 20 feet by 5 feet. That's a capacity increase for the 100-year-old stormwater tunnel. It's described in the staff memo accompanying the legislation as "undersized" for the amount of water that runs through it during heavy rains. An emergency repair of the tunnel roof, under the intersection of 3rd and Lincoln streets, was done several years ago, according to the memo.
The part of the tunnel to be reconstructed is about 1,850 feet long, about six football fields. Bids for the work are scheduled to be opened on Nov. 23 at the utilities service board meeting, which starts that day at 5 p.m.
The stream that flows across the IU campus and eventually under downtown Bloomington has been known for decades as the "Jordan River." But that moniker could be changed sometime soon.
IU's president, Michael McRobbie, has recommended that the name of the university's seventh president, David Starr Jordan, be removed from several Bloomington campus landmarks. Jordan served as IU's president from 1885 to 1891. The push to remove Jordan's name is based on his conspicuous role in the eugenics movement.
The Dillman wastewater treatment plant project is already in progress. Up to now the project has been paid for from cash on hand. Proceeds from the bond and revenues from wastewater fees paid by customers will pay for the rest.
The city council approved a sewer rate increase last year that incorporated funding for the expansion project.

The Johnstown Chiefs were an American professional ice hockey team based in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. They played in the East Coast Hockey League (eventually shortened to ECHL). The franchise was originally established in January 1988 as a member of the All-American Hockey League. In June 1988, the franchise would become one of the five new franchises of the ECHL.  Since their foundation in 1988, the Chiefs have played their home games at the Cambria County War Memorial Arena. The Chiefs were last owned by former New York Rangers general manager Neil Smith. Although the Chiefs franchise was moved to Greenville, the name, records, logos and all names identifying the Johnstown history have been retained by a non-profit organization.

Coaching History
There have been 10 head coaches for the Chiefs franchise. The franchise's first head coach was Joe Selenski, who held the position while the team was a member of the AAHL. Former NHL player Steve Carlson - also famous for his role in the movie Slap Shot (movie) as one of the Hanson brothers - was the only coach who took the Chiefs to the then-Riley Cup Finals, losing four games to three to the Carolina Thunderbirds. Ed Johnstone coached the Chiefs to three consecutive thirty-win seasons, but only advanced past the first round of the playoffs once. Former NHL enforcer Nick Fotiu coached the Chiefs from 1995 to 1997, managing 47 wins in his first two seasons. He started the 1997-98 ECHL season with six wins in his first thirty games, and eventually was replaced by assistant coach Scott Allen. Allen experienced the longest and most successful runs of all the previous Chiefs coaches, having coached the team for 324 regular season games, and taking the team to the second round of the playoffs three of his four full seasons as head coach. Former Chiefs goaltender Toby O'Brien would assume the role of coach in 2003. Despite missing the postseason two of his three years, O'Brien would also lead the Chiefs to the best record in their 22-year history, going 45-20-7. During the final five years, the Chiefs would go through three more coaches (Frank Anzalone, Ian Herbers, and Jeff Flanagan) before owner Neil Smith stepped down to the bench for the final thirty seven games in Chiefs history.

Arrested or charged with a DUI or DWI?
Driving under the influence (DUI) means operating a motor vehicle after consuming alcohol or drugs that have impaired a person's mental or motor skills. In most states, a person will be considered "impaired" if they exhibit objective signs of intoxication, or if they have a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher. Many states also have zero tolerance laws for drivers under 21, where any non-zero BAC level constitutes an offense. Most states also hold commercial drivers, such as truck drivers, to a more rigorous standard.
Law enforcement officers use a variety of tests, such as field sobriety tests and breathalyzers, to determine whether a driver is impaired by alcohol. In some jurisdictions, you have a right to refuse some of these tests, but in other jurisdictions you may be required to submit to them. It is important to know the law in your particular state, and to consult a DUI attorney if you are facing charges.
DUI lawyers are criminal defense attorneys focused on representing clients facing DUI/DWI/OWI charges. Each state has different DUI laws. An experienced DUI lawyer will be able to evaluate the case against you and present your options on how to best limit the impact of the charges against you. DUI lawyers also handle related cases such as driver's license reinstatement and DUI record expungement.
Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC): The percentage of alcohol in a person's blood.
Field Sobriety Test: Any one of several roadside tests that can be used to determine whether a driver is impaired.

Hi friends! This is Mallory and this time around, I have a personal story to tell you: I recently took my car to a local service shop for an oil change and general inspection. After a pleasant experience in the waiting room with my "Chefs" magazine I went to the front desk to pay for the service. I was shocked to find that the paperwork they presented me with was completely unorganized and had footprints and dirt all over them. I also noticed that the merchant's copies were simply paper clipped together (not even stapled!) with my personal and payment information, and set on top of a stack on the back desk, that I can only assume would end up in some kind of secure file cabinet at the end of the day (at least that is what I hope!). With identity theft being what it is today, and with my desire to have organized and clean paperwork, (I am not OCD, I swear!) I was clearly unhappy with the result. To top it off after they called me to the front desk they fumbled with the paperwork and had to obtain more from the service team that was missing, so I had to wait longer.
But what irked me the most is that there is an incredibly and simple solution to this problem: job ticket holders. They are used in many industries as a way to keep consistency for proper storage and filing, they often have a hole with a grommet at the top for easy hanging and binding with other pockets, and you can buy them in a ton of different sizes, styles, and even colors.
Job ticket holders (also sometimes called job jackets) are essentially heavy-duty pockets/sleeves that keep all of the bits and pieces of a single job together in one place. They are typically made of a vinyl or poly material for flexibility and durability. A service shop, for instance, would use them to hold job tickets, coupons to bring the client back again, and even the car keys (temporarily). In the marketing and advertising world, job jackets might contain layouts, printing specifications, quotes and purchase orders, vendor pricing, PMS color swatches and other graphics or samples associated with the project.
If you want to make your jackets really spiffy (which is great for branding and promotions given to current and potential clients) then you can even get a job ticket holder custom printed with your logo, or any other information, on the front. Aside from printing, we have all of the equipment to create custom sizes, multi-pocket job jackets, special punched and closure jackets, and more!
By the way, I did pitch these products to the service manager when I received my jumbled and dirty papers, and dropped off a sample the next day. A couple days later I received a call from their purchaser ready to order several boxes because their employees were so happy to finally have some kind of system to keep items together and clean. While I will not be returning to see progress until my next car check-up is needed, I am sure they are putting these job ticket holders to good use.

Q: Rails Query with embedded jQuery My form has options to select a section based on previous selections. Once the section is selected I need to count and show how many Questions belong to the section.
I am trying to count the questions but cannot figure out the syntax. Here I am trying to update a @count variable every time a section is selected. Then assign the @count value to a hidden field which my table uses to add a row.
How do you do this query? The $('#question_section') is wrong syntax.
$('#question_section').change(function() {
            <% @count = Question.where(section: $('#question_section')).count %>
            $('input[name="question_count"]').val(<% @count %>);
   });

A: Need more information. Basically the code of your view. I don't think you need to write any rails query inside your jquery. This shoud be pretty easy.
So far I assumed, from your form user will receive choices for section to questions. So the steps should be following.
You will bind the change event on your select httm input.
$("#question_section").on(function(){
    var value = $(this).value() // get whats the section value/text
})

Now get added an action on your controller where you will count the question with the query. So for this you will need to do to things. Registrar the action in route something like following:
resources :questions do  # I assume there is a questions resource
    get :count, on: :collection
end

Now this will give you a url as route to that action. Now lets get back to javascript part again.
    $("#question_section").on(function(){
    var value = $(this).val() // get whats the section value/text
    $.ajax({
           url: '/questions/count.js', // you can skip the format here
           data: {section: value}
           success: function(data){
                  $('input[name="question_count"]').val(data)
           }
    })
    })

So now we are ready with the script. Now lets move to controller.
def count
    number_of_questions = Question.select("DISTINCT(section)").where(section: params[:section]).count
    render :js => number_of_questions

end
Well this is the steps you may follow. Direct query in the view layer is not acceptable. Responsibility centric design doesn't encourage that. I hope I can give some hints with my approach.

A: The problem with this code is that everything between <% and %> is evaluated only once on the server. The rest of the code is evaluated afterwards as JavaScript in the browser. You'll have to expose this query in some controller:
Question.where(section: $('#question_section')).count

...and then ask the server for data every time the user changes the select:

$('#question_section').change(function() {
  var url = "/path/to/your/service/" + $(this).val();
  $.get(url, function(data) {
    $('input[name="question_count"]').val(data.count);
  }
});

A: I am assumming that section attribute is a string or integer. Again assuming that the HTML element with the id='question_select' is a <select> tag, the jQuery line of code $('#question_section') will return a jQuery object (essentially a javascript object).
And in the ActiveRecord Query Interface line of code Question.where(section: $('#question_select')) you have inserted the jQuery object when it will be expecting a String or Fixnum (integer in ruby) object depending on the datatype of section. That is the reason it is giving an error.
To fix this you can do the following ->

*

*in javascript
<script type="javascript">
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $('#question').on('change',function(){
      var url = window.locatio.origin + '/questions/get_number_of_questions'
      var data = { section : $('#question_select').val() };
      $.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: url,
        data: data,
        success: function(result){
          $('input[name="question_count"]').val(result[count]);
        }
      });
    });
  });

*In your routes.rb file define a route for an action get_number_of_questions of type post under questions
resources :questions do
  collection do
    post :get_number_of_questions
  end
end

*Finally in your questions_controller.rb file define the action
class QuestionsController < ApplicationController
  ...

  def get_number_of_questions
    count = Question.where(section: params[:section]).count
    render :json { count: count }
  end

  ...
end

Remember to keep your javascript and rails or ruby code as separate as possible. That is one of the best practices followed under RoR convention.
Hope this helps
Thank you.

Celebrate the End of Exams in Style with Beach Break Live
With just a few weeks to go until thousands of students are let loose on Pembrey Country Park for this summer's Beach Break Live, Young Academic delves into the history behind the festival and what's in store for this year's festival-goers. The latest addition to the Ultimate Festival Guide, today we bring the latest line up announcements for the festival as a break away from the usual student news.
Hailed the UK's biggest student festival, Beach Break Live have announced yet more acts to an already bulging line up. With just three weeks to go, let's hope the weather perks up before we head to the sandy beaches!
Beach Break Live made its first appearance in 2007 when just 1000 festival-goers turned up. Last year saw a massive 17,000 students arrive at the country park to celebrate the end of another academic year. Well established in the line up of summer festivals, Beach Break Live picked up two awards back in 2009 for 'Best Promoter' and 'Best Small Festival'.
After the success of the first festival back in 2007, the two entrepreneurs and graduates of The University of Birmingham behind Beach Break Live appeared on the BBC2 programme Dragon's Den. After a successful pitch the couple won over all four Dragons and were given an offer from each. Out of the four, they chose to go with Peter Jones' deal but later the duo boldly declined the offer and concluded a deal with Outgoing Ltd. Since then the festival has continued to grow and now has more on offer than ever. So, what is all the fuss about?
Jam-packed full of artists, this year BBL has added new venues to accommodate even more acts. New to the bill and fresh to your ears, one such new stage is the JW Seasonnaires Horse Box. The brand new stage, a vintage horse box, will be rammed full of stellar British music sure to create an experience you wont forget in a while. Hosting big sets from the latest UK talent as well as intimate impromptu gigs from some main stage acts, the Horse Box will be one of the stages latest to close playing music all night long.
More than just a musical festival, Beach Break Live has so much on offer for this year's ticket holders. The festival is set in 500 acres of parkland nestled up against 2000 acres of forestry and an 8 mile beach. As if that wasn't enough, the park has a 130 metre dry ski slope, the longest toboggan run in Wales, golf courses and horse riding. To top it all off, the park is home to the famous "Go Ape" as well!
Tinie Tempah, White Lies, Example and Katy B are amongst those set to cause a storm this month. The newest announcements include drum and bass heavyweight Breakage as well as electro pop stars Filthy Dukes and rising star Lung. The full line up can be found on the official BBL website.
So celebrate the end of exams and the start of a sunny (here's hoping!) summer on the sumptuous sandy beaches at Pembrey Country Park. Combining a cutting edge line-up with 20,000 other students and a great location, Beach Break Live is this summer's ultimate student experience.

Q: Meteorite on windows 8.1 with vagrant ( cannot install packages ) I am very new to Linux ( does't even know the basic commands ) i am using https://gist.github.com/gabrieljenik/d926cbb90706d95abdee to setup vagrant on my windows 8.1 machine. i have created my test app and need to install packages like iron router etc.
when i try to execute
sudo npm install -g meteorite

it throws error : sudo command not found
mrt add iron-router

it throws error mrt: command not found
cannot figure out what the problem is

A: If you're very new to Linux and Meteor, don't use complicated stuff like Vagrant. Just use Meteor on Windows, with WebStorm. It works out of the box.
Note: meteorite has long been deprecated. Start with the official Meteor tutorial, http://meteor.com/try.

*

*Install Meteor for Windows

*Install and start WebStorm

*Create a new project, choose type Meteor.js app, then "default".

*Run -> Run -> Edit configurations

*Click the + to add a new configuration of type Meteor

*Call it simple-todos for clarity (this is optional)

*Click Run

Notice how Webstorm starts a console within the IDE, which shows the familiar Meteor startup sequence:
=> Started proxy.
=> Started MongoDB.
=> Started your app.

=> App running at: http://localhost:3000/

If you're prompted for any firewall permissions, make sure to allow all traffic from Node.js.
Now you can edit your app in WebStorm on Windows. Welcome to Meteor!

Q: Decimal value in Polymer core-range How to input decimal value in core-range, as in given demo?
With 'step' attribute added:
<core-range step="0.5"  min="0" max="200" value="{{value}}" ratio="{{ratio}}"></core-range>

I can paste decimal(e.g. 5.5) in the input field but cannot type it?!

A: That's pretty interesting. I think it's a bug in the core-range element itself (https://github.com/Polymer/core-range/blob/master/core-range.html). As the input gets validated "5." gets overwritten by the number 5 and set as value. Since it is reflected in the input field itself, the input changes to 5. When you paste it in as a whole, the "5.5" stays and is reflected in the input field. That's why it works when you paste it. I don't think there's a work around other than fixing the bug.
