NN209: So…We Moved to Hong Kong!
No Comments on NN209: So…We Moved to Hong Kong!
👋 Hi, friends. Welcome to the latest edition of Newley's Notes, a weekly newsletter containing my recent Wall Street Journal stories, must-read links on tech and life, and funny dog videos.
📬 Not a subscriber yet? Get it here.
🇭🇰 Big news on the personal front: Anasuya and I have moved here to Hong Kong!
Hi from HK!
It's true!
Hong Kong!
Our three and a half years in India were extremely rewarding. Now it's time for a new adventure. We are thrilled to be here.
😷 (What's Hong Kong like, given the coronavirus? So far it's similar to when I've visited before, except that 1) fewer folks seem to be out in public, so the streets are less crowded; 2) the vast majority of people are wearing face masks when they're on the streets and especially on public transportation, though most people in bars and restaurants aren't wearing them.)
✍ As I mentioned on Twitter, I'll be covering – much like I did from New Delhi – U.S. tech titans and their battles across Asia. It is a beat I have loved exploring from New Delhi and look forward to continuing to write about from this new perch.
🐕 Oh, and since I know many NN readers are fans of Ginger, our beloved New Delhi street dog, I will say this: fret not. She is also, of course, joining us here in HK soon. More on that soon!
On to this week's NN…
🦠 1) The latest on the coronavirus from The WSJ today: Coronavirus Cases Mount as Second Person Dies in U.S.
Health officials are focused on a cluster of confirmed cases in Washington, including the two deaths. Those infections, and several others in states such as Oregon and California – many with no clear path to exposure – signal that there might be wider spread of the virus in some communities, with many cases still undiagnosed. New cases were also reported in New York, Florida and Rhode Island.
The CDC has a good overview of the virus.
And from The WSJ: How to Prepare for the Coronavirus:
"Public health experts advise staying calm and following the same precautions recommended for preventing flu or any other respiratory virus. Stick with the basics: Wash your hands, cover your coughs and sneezes, and stay at home from work or school when you're sick."
🗣 2) The Coronavirus and How Political Spin Has Worsened Epidemics [New Yorker]
"Throughout history, diseases have posed an unsparing test of political leaders and their fidelity to the facts. According to Howard Markel, a medical historian at the University of Michigan, 'From the political to the purely mercenary, secrecy has almost always contributed to the further spread of a pandemic and hindered public health management.'"
🔮 3) On governments and Covid–19: The virus is coming [The Economist]
Officials will have to act when they do not have all the facts, because much about the virus is unknown. A broad guess is that 25–70% of the population of any infected country may catch the disease. China's experience suggests that, of the cases that are detected, roughly 80% will be mild, 15% will need treatment in hospital and 5% will require intensive care.
➡ 4) Absolutely riveting corporate story of the week, by my WSJ colleagues: SoftBank's Rajeev Misra Used Campaign of Sabotage to Hobble Internal Rivals
His rise to the top of SoftBank Group Corp.'s $100 billion Vision Fund isn't a traditional tale of corporate ladder-climbing. He succeeded, in part, by striking at two of his main rivals inside SoftBank with a dark-arts campaign of personal sabotage.
The tactics included planting negative news stories about them, concocting a shareholder campaign to pressure SoftBank to fire them and even attempting to lure one of them into a "honey trap" of sexual blackmail, according to people familiar with the matter and documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
📚 5) Freeman Dyson, Math Genius Turned Visionary Technologist, Dies at 96 [New York Times]
"'Life begins at 55, the age at which I published my first book,' he wrote in 'From Eros to Gaia,' one of the collections of his writings that appeared while he was a professor of physics at the Institute for Advanced Study – an august position for someone who finished school without a Ph.D. The lack of a doctorate was a badge of honor, he said."
📼 6) Archivists Are Uploading Hundreds of Random VHS Tapes to the Internet [Vice]
"An organization called Vista Group recently uploaded dozens of VHS and cassette tapes from the 90s and early 2000s to the Internet Archive, and the content within is worth a retro-nostalgia trip back to a simpler, weirder, more wavy time."
🎧 7) The Joy of Watching TV With Headphones On [WSJ]
"I'm not sure why I resisted this sonic refuge for so long. With advances in noise-cancelling tech and Bluetooth's ease of connectivity with smart TVs, soundbars and streaming devices like Apple TV, headphoned TV fans don't have to worry about intrusive noise."
🌟 8) My Ex-Boyfriend's New Girlfriend Is Lady Gaga [New York Times]
"How do you compare yourself with one of the most famous women in the world?"
🏖 9) Wacky internet gem of the week: Poolside.fm
"Poolside FM was conceived one awfully rainy summer in the Highlands of Scotland – a virtual vacation, if you will. The audio and video streams are curated to inject a healthy dose of serotonin into your brain."
🐶 10) Dog video of the week: Double H Canine Training Academy… Epic Service Dog Training Failure [YouTube]
"How do you get good ideas? You have a lot of ideas and throw out the bad ones." – Linus Pauling.

One can put in all of the necessary and requisite effort into preparing, formulating and filing a Federal Disability Retirement application under FERS or CSRS, obtain a comprehensive medical narrative report with supportive office and treatment notes, verifying MRIs and other diagnostic evidence, follow the informational guidelines from various research sources — and provide a compelling case based upon rational and reasoned argumentation — and still get a denial from the Office of Personnel Management.
This happens often enough, and one must conclude that, even when a Federal Disability Retirement application is prepared with the utmost of care and effort, a decision of denial can be issued against reason, or the reasons provided are selectively chosen and manufactured. It is therefore well to understand the entirety of a Federal Disability Retirement process as necessarily involving multiple stages, with internal checks and balances to ensure the "fairness" of the administrative procedure.
Thus, the first two stages of the process (the Initial Stage; then the Reconsideration Stage) are internally reviewed by the Office of Personnel Management. The Third and Fourth Stage of the process (an appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board; a Petition for Full Review) may be considered as "administrative judicial review" stages. Then, an appeal to the U.S. Federal Circuit Court of Appeals.
Each stage allows for a "check" upon the other stages of the process, and by imposing the right of the disability retirement applicant to access such "checks", it allows for the "balance" of the process — thereby (hopefully) negating and nullifying what may have initially been an irrationally-based decision.
As Western Culture has a history of recognizing the power of rationality, it is well that an institutionalized process of "checks and balances" attempts to supersede legal decisions which go against reason.

I'm glad you asked, because your question points out the paradoxical relationship of smoking and gum disease (also called periodontal disease). Studies have shown that tobacco use is one of the most significant risk factors for developing gum disease. In fact, the majority of smokers—over 64 percent—have this problem. Yet, surprisingly, tobacco users are less likely to show the tell-tale signs that prompt many people to become concerned about their oral health. This could be your situation—and it's one of the reasons why the American Academy of Periodontology recommends that everyone (especially smokers) receive a comprehensive periodontal evaluation on an annual basis.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, smokers have double the risk of gum disease compared with nonsmokers and are four times more likely to have advanced periodontal disease. The more cigarettes smoked and the longer a person smokes, the greater the risk. That's why we ask smokers how much they smoke per day and how long they have smoked when we take their health history.
But cigarettes are not the only contributing factor. All forms of tobacco, whether cigarettes, pipes, chewing tobacco or even e-cigarettes, increase your risk of gum disease. In addition, exposure to secondhand smoke is associated with an increased risk for developing periodontal disease.
Common signs of gum disease include red, puffy gums that may bleed from brushing or flossing. In smokers, however, even diseased gum tissue tends to look firmer and bleed less when compared with nonsmokers who have gum disease. This deceptively healthy appearance of many smokers' gums is known as "disease masking." But it doesn't mean there's nothing wrong.
While this patient has gum disease with bone loss and teeth shifted out of position, the gums look pink and are not swollen because the patient is a heavy smoker.
Good circulation is essential to healthy gums because blood carries oxygen and nutrients throughout your body. However, nicotine causes a narrowing of the blood vessels and inhibits the growth of new blood vessels. The reduced amount of oxygen and nutrients getting to the tissues surrounding the teeth renders them more vulnerable to infection and slows healing when they are damaged. Yet this same restricted blood supply that harms the periodontal tissues can make smokers' gums look healthy and pink, and not appear puffy in spite of being diseased.
Research shows that smokers are more likely than nonsmokers to harbor the harmful bacteria that cause periodontal disease. Studies have also shown that smoking reduces the production of antibodies that are essential for fighting these bacteria. A decreased ability to fight infection and repair tissue means that gum disease progresses more rapidly in smokers.
Chemicals in tobacco smoke cause cell damage and break down the connective tissues that anchor the teeth in place; and the heavier the smoking, the worse the effects. As periodontal disease progresses, it does further damage to the gums and other structures that support the teeth. The continuing deterioration caused by tobacco use can eventually lead to tooth loss. A large study that looked at data collected over a 16-year period found that heavy smokers were three times more likely to experience tooth loss than people who had never smoked.
Treatment for gum disease is often less successful in smokers. That's why it is important to let your dentist know how much you smoke and how long you have smoked. Your dentist may refer you to a periodontist—a dentist who specializes in the treatment of gum disease. The information you provide on your smoking habits helps us plan the most effective treatment options. For example, gum grafting and bone grafting are two relatively common periodontal procedures, but the success of both procedures depends in large part on blood flow. And while dental implants—widely considered the best option for replacing missing teeth—have a documented success rate of over 95 percent in healthy patients, the risk of failure doubles among smokers.
Not only is periodontal treatment less effective in smokers, but smoking also interferes with the healing process. Among tobacco users, there is a high incidence of refractory periodontitis—that is, gum disease that keeps coming back after treatment. This can mean a constant battle against worsening gum disease that may require frequent re-treatment.
However, the treatment of periodontal disease in smokers is not a lost cause. The effectiveness of periodontal disease treatment in smokers can be improved with various medications that a periodontist might use to enhance a patient's response to therapy.
Periodontal problems are just one of the ways that smoking harms your health. But here's the good news: When you quit using tobacco, your body begins to repair itself. As more time goes by, your risk of developing gum disease gets lower. According to data collected in a major national study, ex-smokers who had abstained from tobacco for 11 years faced nearly the same odds of having periodontitis as people who had never smoked.
Quitting smoking may be hard, but it is achievable—and there's a lot of help available. Becoming aware of thoughts or behaviors that trigger the desire to smoke is a first step toward breaking the habit. Whether you choose cold-turkey or gradual withdrawal, you can benefit from joining a group that offers encouragement and support; individual counseling is also available. Withdrawal symptoms or cravings can be eased with over-the-counter nicotine gum or patches, or prescription medications. For more information about quitting, ask your health care professional, call 1-800-QUIT-NOW, or visit www.smokefree.gov.

Cooper Medical School of Rowan University (CMSRU) is a public medical school located in Camden, New Jersey. It was created as a partnership between Rowan University and Cooper University Hospital in 2009 by executive order of Governor Jon Corzine. CMSRU opened in summer 2012. It is the first medical school to be opened in New Jersey in over 35 years and the only four-year MD-granting institution located in South Jersey.

Rowan University and The Cooper Health System partnered in June 2009 to establish CMSRU to help address the physician shortage locally and nationally and to improve healthcare throughout the region. New Jersey governor and Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie spoke at the school's opening. Its charter class was admitted in May 2012 and a second class matriculated in the fall of 2013. By August 2015, CMSRU had matriculated all four years of students.

Facilities

The Cooper Medical Education Building, a LEED Gold certified building,
is located on South Broadway on the Cooper Health Sciences campus. It opened in July 2012 and contains a 260-seat auditorium, a 140-seat multipurpose room, 25 active learning rooms, a clinical simulation center, and a satellite medical library.

Accreditation
Cooper Medical School of Rowan University is fully accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education. Rowan University is accredited by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.

Recognition
In November 2019 Cooper Medical School of Rowan University was awarded the Spencer Foreman Award for Outstanding Community Engagement from the American Association of Medical Colleges . The award is given for outstanding service in the community. This service includes CMSRU's service learning program and its pipeline program called Pre-Medical Urban Leaders Summer Enrichment Program (PULSE).

In 2019, Cooper Medical School of Rowan University was voted one of the top ten most difficult medical schools to attain acceptance by incoming medical students in the US.

In April 2019, CMSRU was named in U.S. News' list of "10 Med Schools With the Lowest Acceptance Rates"

Whatever Happened To ... the Can of Worms?
Alan Morrell
The Can of Worms was a troublesome highway interchange on Rochester's east side that was flawed from the onset and notorious enough to have its own nickname.
Interstates 490 and 590 converged at the Can in a crisscross pattern. Motorists had to weave through traffic from the other route just to keep going in the same direction, resulting in enormous traffic jams, accidents and lots of frustrated drivers.
State Department of Transportation crews finally unsnarled the mess during a three-year, $100 million project. The massive undertaking was probably the biggest and most publicized in regional DOT history, promoted with the slogan "Together We Can" and creating a media darling of the oft-quoted DOT spokesman who provided updates to frazzled commuters.
The Can of Worms opened in 1964 near the Rochester-Brighton line at a cost of $6 million. Legend holds that the nickname came from a reporter who saw the complicated design plans. DOT officials hated the tag and officially called it "The Eastern Crossway."
Locals stuck with the catchier and more accurate moniker. Traffic regularly slowed to a crawl at the Can during rush hours and the accident rate was twice that of similar expressways statewide.
So how did this problematic passageway get built in the first place?
"It was the best solution we had at the time," an engineer who was involved with the initial construction told Michael Zeigler in a 1986 Democrat and Chronicle article. "You have to remember that urban highway design was a new thing. Nobody had much experience with it. We'd all been working on the Thruway, which was a fairly simple situation compared to this."
A cloverleaf traffic pattern was more ideal but cost-prohibitive. The "weaving" design was common in the 1950s when the Can was designed, and the Can was modeled on such patterns in San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
Some heralded the new interchange as an "engineering marvel" when it opened here. Right off the bat, though, local DOT officials were worried. The regional director, when asked if he planned an opening ceremony in 1964, reportedly said, "No, I'm just going to open it and hide."
Rush-hour tie-ups were regular within two years. A population explosion in Monroe County's eastern suburbs further complicated matters. The traffic flow through the Can was more than twice what planners had anticipated.
Motorists labeled it the worst intersection in the area and engineers early on talked about eliminating the crisscross. Federal officials finally approved funding in 1980, and traction picked up for canning the Can.
Unraveling such a mess would not come quickly or inexpensively. DOT officials came up with five plans that were presented to the public in 1984. Not surprisingly, they all had pitfalls that someone opposed. City officials, concerned about impacts to residents and businesses, urged the DOT to keep the Can as is but repair the roads.
The DOT settled on what was considered the least-disruptive proposal. Federal highway officials, who had agreed to pay for 90 percent of the project, approved the plans in 1985.
Everyone knew the Can reconstruction was going to be a traffic nightmare. The Can was never shut down during the project, and preparations took years. The state hired a consultant to study the best ways to manage traffic. Car-pooling was promoted and Park & Ride bus services were added. The DOT undertook an "unprecedented" public relations campaign.
By 1988, things were ready to go, but anxiety was high. A February Democrat and Chronicle story that year was headlined "D-Day for the Can." A Times-Union story from the same month by Henry Bellows warned that "The beginning of the end of the Can is at hand." Groundbreaking occurred in March 1988.
The DOT named Ken McClenathan as public information officer for the project. McClenathan was entrenched in the project, seen regularly on TV news shows, heard regularly on radio and referenced regularly in newspaper articles. Some people took to facetiously calling him "Ken of Worms."
McClenathan was quoted saying that fears of a "total disaster" were unfounded and that traffic delays were modest. That assessment didn't fly with many east-side travelers, as Tony Robinson reported in an August 1988 Democrat and Chronicle story.
"Winton Road has been squeezed," Robinson wrote. "Penfield Road has been severed. East Avenue is shut down and University Avenue has been truncated … Detours and closures have caused nothing but heartache since the Can reconstruction project began."
The work trudged on until the project was finished in 1991. I-490 now crosses over I-590 on a bridge, and the crisscross nightmare is long gone.
Old habits die hard, though. Lori Maher, spokeswoman for the regional DOT offices, said the Can nickname has stuck even though its eponymous origins have ceased.
"Everyone around here still calls it that," she said.
The "new" look of the interchange — "bridge over bridge over bridge," as Maher described it — almost had an appearance in an Angelina Jolie movie a few years back, she said. Producers of the 2010 film Salt strongly considered using the area for a photo shoot but ultimately selected a different locale, Maher said.
Morrell is a Rochester-based freelance writer.

it's displaying the splash screen fine but when I call it from a button click in the main activity:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, typeof(Com.Google.Androidbrowserhelper.Trusted.LauncherActivity));
intent.SetData(Android.Net.Uri.Parse("https://www.xxxx.com/app/"));
StartActivity(intent);

it's ignoring all meta-data settings and flashing up a white screen.
I've tried adding
<action android:name="com.mycompany.product.VIEW" />

to this and tried to run it by calling:
Intent intent = new Intent("com.mycompany.product.VIEW", Android.Net.Uri.Parse("https://www.xxxx.com/app/"));
StartActivity(intent);

but this is just giving me:
No Activity found to handle Intent

A: You have to call Finish() on the first activity or the TWA app doesn't display the splash screen.

A: Well, I am guessing that you are directly adding it to the Manifest file, Xamarin Android usually does it through attributes in the correct Activity file
Below is an example of how to add an IntentFilter and a MetaData.
 [Activity(....)]
 [IntentFilter(new[]{Intent.ActionSearch})] //

The discovery of GeV gamma-rays from classical novae has led to a reassessment of these garden-variety explosions, and highlighted their importance for understanding radiative shocks, particle acceleration, and dust formation in more exotic, distant transients. Recent collaboration between observers and theorists has revealed that shocks in novae are energetically important, and can even dominate their bolometric luminosity. Shocks may also explain long-standing mysteries in novae such as dust production, super-Eddington luminosities, and `flares' in optical light curves. Here, we highlight the multi-wavelength facilities of the next decade that will further test our nova shock model and fulfill the promise of novae as powerful astrophysical laboratories.


Been following her work for a while, I already am impressed with her presence in the blogging world as a newcomer. Hers is a style everyone just couldn't resist to follow; her brilliant eyes for fashion is something you would admire from her.
Read on to find out more about Malena and her awesome style in this little interview I did with her!
Hi Malena! First I'd like to say how I admire your work as a newcomer in fashion blogging! How did you get into fashion blogging?
Wow, that's a big compliment. Thank you so much! I've been wanting to start my own fashion blog ever since I got familiar with the phenomenon of fashion blogging, which is about 4 years ago. I was following some other bloggers and I was just so excited to start my own. A little over a year ago I finally had the courage to do so.
Your blog title is intriguing! What's behind the title 'Fashion Container'?
I was looking for a catchy and not too cliché title for my blog and "Fashioncontainer" just simply came into my mind after a bit of brainstorming. It doesn't have much meaning, except from the fact the title implies that the website contains fashion (wink).
What is your blogging routine? How do you usually come up with an idea for your post?
I mostly do outfit posts, so whenever I'm playing around with my clothes i just come up with another good outfit that I can photograph for my blog. Lately I've been wanting to do some more personal posts, so I try to share as much of my personal life with my readers as possible. Oh, and I always like it when my readers give me some guidance about what they want me to write about, it's so helpful!
I truly adore your fashion style; you always manage to look so chic in every post! What do you think is your personal trademark that we can't find in anyone else?
Aw, thank you! I think I manage really good in wearing very low budget stuff, but looking like it has cost me a lot of money. Besides that, I think I'm very good at balancing an outfit with the right color combi's, mix of textures and accessories.
Name 3 must-have items in your wardrobe that you can live without!
A leather jacket, a pair of coated jeans and black strappy heels.
You have been blogging for a year. What do you think is the best part of fashion blogging so far? What about the downside?
The best part of blogging for me is the feeling I have my own personal project and an outlet of my creativity. And let's be honest: getting free clothes and being featured in one of my favorite Dutch fashion magazines is also part of the good things of blogging (wink). The downside I'd say is the fact that blogging requires a lot of determination and perseverance. It seems a lot more glamorous than it actually is. You see beautiful pictures & outfits, but for me it means I've spend hours to pick the right outfit, photograph it at the right location and edit the pictures to perfection.
Who influence yourself in fashion? Do you have fashion icons that really inspired you?
I get inspiration from a lot of different sources: other bloggers, friends, people walking on the street. Simply checking out the new collection of a designer can give me plenty of inspiration for my own outfits as well.
Have you ever thought of working in the world of fashion? Perhaps a future career in fashion industry?
Yes, definitely! I have a law degree, but I've always wanted to something fashion related. I have plans to start my own online shop in a while and I'd love to work as a stylist as well.
For a blogger who has only been blogging for a year, you're a star, definitely. Do you have any tips for new bloggers?
Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. My number one advice would be: always make sure that whatever you post is the best quality possible. Never post for the sake of posting. Always be a perfectionist!
Even more curious about her? Go check out her blog straight away at www.fashioncontainer.com!
Hola! I've been following your blog for a while now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Porter Tx! Just wanted to mention keep up the great job!

Food packages distributed to pregnant women
WAKKA, Apr 21: Food packages were distributed to around 20 pregnant women of Wakka village by the PHC here in Longding district, which is run by Itanagar-based Karuna Trust.
Apart from ration, each package included a toilet soap and detergent. They were handed over by PHC MO, Dr Anupam Saikia.
Dr Saikia informed that the Karuna Trust has taken the initiative to encourage the women of Wakka circle to register for antenatal care (ANC).
"There are only around 40 pregnant women who have registered for ANC from Wakka circle, which is very less
in comparison to the huge population of the circle. But having heard about the distribution of food packages, around 12 more pregnant mothers have registered themselves for ANC, which is quite encouraging," Dr Saikia said. (DIPRO)

Q: Javascript Array Object Property Undefined When I attempt to access the array object (preivous_data) the console outputs this:
[Object { label="line1", data=[13]}]

as expected. However, when I access the array object property (preivous_data.data) the console gives undefined. I am confused - what error am I making for this not to display the array values for the property data in the object?
As a further test, I converted the object with JSON.stringify, then back into a JavaScript object. Again I found the same issues with accessing the property value of the object:
function dataUpdate(passed_onDataReceived_data){

      console.log("passed object")                     // console output:  passed object

      preivous_data = passed_onDataReceived_data
      console.log(preivous_data)                       // console output: [Object { label="line1", data=[13]}]
      console.log(preivous_data.data)                  // console output: undefined

      var JSON_Stringify = JSON.stringify(preivous_data);
      console.log(JSON_Stringify)                     // console output:[{"label":"line1","data":[[0,88],[1,28],[2,52],[3,7],[4,93],[5,78],[6,53],[7,64],[8,43],[9,77],[10,58],[11,74],[12,5]]}]
      var myObject = eval('(' + JSON_Stringify + ')')
      console.log(myObject)                           // console output: [Object { label="line1", data=[13]}]
      console.log(myObject.data)                      // console output: undefined
}

Any help would be appreciated.

A: Looks like you have the object previous_data as an array.
[Object { label="line1", data=[13]}]

So you need to do previous_data[0].data to access the data attribute.


Who will contribute to the levy?
How will this affect smaller employers?
Changes to the way apprenticeship training is funded will be rolled out across the UK, whether or not your company is paying the levy. Companies that are not required to pay the levy (if your pay bill is under £3m a year) will share the cost of the apprenticehsip with the government in what is being called a "co-investment". More details on the rates are due to be revealed by the government shortly, however it is expected that what ever amount the employer invests, they will re-coup via 'cash-back' incentives set by the government based around the succesful completion of an apprenticehsip programme.
Smaller employers using the co-investment method shoudl not expect to use this new system until 2018. From April 2017, they can select a training provider and an assessment organisation (see our blog on: Are all apprenticeship providers the same?) and payment is organised through the training provider (CMS Vocational Training Ltd).


Swansea's Brett Johns says he spent a winter sleeping in a gym before his UFC call-up.
It was more important to be at the place he could train than the place he could sleep.
Swansea's Brett Johns was so poor he could not afford to travel home from the gym. So he stopped there.
As a man desperate to reach the top of MMA, there was no way he was letting a lack of money stop him from training.
"I went through a phase when I had nothing," he told BBC Wales Sport. "I couldn't afford the bus ticket home.
"I lived in the gym for the winter where there was no heating and all I had was a sleeping bag."
That might explain the outpouring of emotion when he was told he had been called up to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
His manager filmed the video call he made to Johns and uploaded the Welsh fighter's moving reaction to Facebook.
"When I got the call, it just put me into tears," says Johns. "That seven years of hard work I've had to put in all came out in that moment.
"I'd hate to see what I'm going to be like when I win that UFC title if I'm like that when I'm getting called up."
The 24-year-old, who trains in Fforestfach, will make his debut at UFC Fight Night 99 in Belfast on Saturday.
He brings with him a record of 12 wins from 12 professional fights and is a two-time MMA world champion. Johns says the call-up was "a long time coming".
"It was very frustrating," he admitted. "I was thinking 'what more do I need to do?' Now I've achieved my dream."
Johns was not the first Welsh fighter to be signed by the UFC. That title goes to a soldier from Monmouthshire.
Jack Marshman was signed just weeks earlier in October and he will debut on the same bill as Johns this weekend. Like his Welsh counterpart, the road to the top has been a long and difficult one.
Marshman estimates he was locked up 30 times as a teenager, but joining the Tillery Combat MMA Academy in Blaina kept him "on the straight and narrow".
"I was on the wrong path," he confesses. "But without a doubt MMA changed my life. I'm not trying to be cheesy but it genuinely did.
"Instead of going out on the weekend I was training Friday night and sparring Saturday morning."
Marshman has served in the 3rd Battalion, the Parachute Regiment, for nearly a decade and he toured Afghanistan twice but the middleweight says his call-up means he will soon leave the forces to fight full time.
"You can't get any bigger than the UFC," he says, ahead of his fight against Sweden's Magnus Cedenblad. "It's the highest we can go in our sport."
Wales waited a long time for its first UFC fighter. Now two have turned up at once.
The UFC calls itself the fastest-growing sports organisation in the world and both Welsh fighters believe it will transform the sport in their home country.
"It's huge for Welsh MMA and huge for Welsh sport," says Johns. "Going back a few years, MMA in the UK was very basic. Then we had a bit of help from [Republic of Ireland's] Conor McGregor.
"They go wild about those Irish fans but the Welsh fans can be crazy as well. So I'm hoping they'll transfer from football and rugby fans into MMA."
Marshman believes it will not be long before MMA becomes as popular in the UK as boxing.
"We've already got a massive cult following," he continues. "But now it's starting to get a bit more mainstream more people are going to watch it.
"In America I think it already is [as big as boxing]. The UFC just had its first event in Madison Square Garden and that's an historic boxing venue. It just goes to show how big the sport's getting."
For Brett Johns, those cold nights in the gym will seem a long way away when he walks out to fight South Korean Kwan Ho Kwak in Belfast. The bantamweight has signed a four-fight deal, but wants to stay much longer than that.
"One of my idols was Joe Calzaghe. He fought Mikkel Kessler at the Millennium Stadium. I don't see why I can't do that too."

Kent selected
Tunbridge Wells man died after sepsis symptoms 'missed'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-45896753
Image copyright Family handout
Image caption Tim Mason died hours after doctors sent him home from Tunbridge Wells Hospital
A student died after doctors failed to spot he had sepsis and sent him home from hospital, an inquest has heard.
Tim Mason, 21, from Tunbridge Wells, had flu-like symptoms and told doctors he "felt like he was dying" but was discharged from Tunbridge Wells Hospital without further treatment.
The inquest was told he was rushed back to the A&E department but later died.
Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust has accepted liability and admitted breaching a duty of care.
The inquest at the Archbishop's Palace in Maidstone was told staff missed "several" chances to test Mr Mason for sepsis on 16 March despite him displaying signs of the deadly infection.
The Sussex Downs College student had also developed the rare and life-threatening W strain of meningitis.
His mother Fiona Mason wept as she told the inquest they first took their son to hospital in the early hours of the morning after he began vomiting "more violently than we have ever seen".
He was treated for an "uncontrollably high" temperature but this did not desist.
'Falsely reassured'
She told how doctors said he had a virus and could be discharged.
When Mr Mason came back to A&E seven hours later - in so much pain he could not walk or sit up - he was made to wait to be seen, the hearing was told.
When he was assessed again by other doctors they found it "evident" he had septic shock and organ failure.
The inquest heard Mr Mason died after having a cardiac arrest while in an induced coma.
Junior doctor Max Bacon, who had been qualified for just over a year, said he discharged Mr Mason after seeking guidance from a senior colleague and being "falsely reassured" by blood test results.
Giving evidence, Dr Bacon said: "I wish I had put him through the sepsis protocol.
"I see from hindsight he should have had it," he added.
The hearing continues.

Turkish court sends TRT presenter Usul to prison over alleged links to Gülen movement
Former TV presenter Turgut Usul, who was dismissed by a government decree under the rule of emergency declared in the aftermath of a controversial coup attempt on July 15, 2016 from his duty at the state-run TRT, was arrested by an Ankara court and sent to prison on Thursday over his alleged links to the Gülen movement.
It was reported that following his detention by police Usul gave his testimony to prosecutor in Ankara. Prosecutor has sent him to a Penal Court of Peace where he was arrested and sent to prison.
Meanwhile, pro-government İhlas news agency's news coordinator Ömer Faruk Aydemir, who was released recently after spending a period of time in prison over his alleged use of mobile phone messaging application ByLock, was acquitted in his first hearing before İstanbul 36th High Criminal Court on Thursday. Aydemir was released from prison on December 28, 2017.
Turkey is the biggest jailer of journalists in the world. The most recent figures documented by the SCF has showed that 242 journalists and media workers are in jails as of December 30, 2017, most in pre-trial detention languishing in notorious Turkish prisons without even a conviction. Of those in Turkish prisons, 215 are arrested pending trial, only 27 journalists remain convicted and serving time in Turkish prisons. An outstanding detention warrants remain for 138 journalists who live in exile or remain at large in Turkey.
Detaining tens of thousands of people over alleged links to the Gülen movement, the government also closed down more than 180 media outlets after the controversial coup attempt.

title:      "Updating My Rails Project – Adding jQuery Features to BookRecs"
date:       2018-02-12 18:37:48 +0000
permalink:  updating_my_rails_project_adding_jquery_features_to_bookrecs
---

Feels like I'm only getting started, but I have already reached the Rails Project with a jQuery Frontend in the Flatiron School curriculum. The scope of this project is to add some jQuery functionality to an existing Rails project –  in my case, my BookRecs app.

For my first Rails project, I built an app called BookRecs, where users can register to add, review, and recommend their favorite books. In order to work with JSON data, I first set up some Active Model Serializers for my project:  a Book has many Reviews, and a Review belongs to a Book.

![](http://i.imgur.com/B4n4qQd.png)

On the Book show page, I implemented a "Next" button, in order to get the next book in the index through an AJAX request. This turned out to be a bit of a challenge, mainly since I allow the user to delete books, so the book ids in the array of books aren't necessarily incrementing by one every single time.

Using the JSON data I received through the AJAX request, I saved instances of books in a JavaScript object, and then injected the book attributes into the proper divs with jQuery.  In my app, I use Raty to display star ratings for books, and I also spent some time figuring out how to plug in the correct values with jQery in order to display the ratings.

![](http://i.imgur.com/M0aZam5.png)

Next, I created another JavaScript object for a Review, and updated my form for reviews to add a review with AJAX and jQuery. Again, I struggled a bit trying to render the Raty stars correctly, but now you can submit a new review without a page refresh.

![](http://i.imgur.com/7J5mPDz.png)

Working on this project, I learned a lot about Active Model Serializers and AJAX requests. I am also interested in learning more about  `:remote => true` in Rails (which was off-limits in this particular project). In terms of rendering pages through AJAX, there are many improvements I would like to make for BookRecs, but those will have to wait until I graduate, which hopefully should be soon!

Growing up in a single parent home affects a child's education, hygiene, and nutrition in a negative way. Growing up in a single parent home means that children need more support in education, hygiene, and nutrition from schools. To make a good expository essay topic, you need to have some sort of question you are answering.
Additionally, I'm not sure you are specific enough in using the term "Eastern Religions. Many religious groups would not be comfortable being grouped together.
I'd encourage you to pick a particular religion to talk about. I'm assuming you are referring to Islam, Buddhism or Hinduism. Perhaps there is another one you are thinking about.

Fine structures in an EEL spectrum fundamentally originate from the transition from a core level to unoccupied states under the dipole selection rule. Besides the ionization edges there is a fine structure superposed on the edge and extending up to ~ 50 eV from the EELS edge onset, reflecting the density of unoccupied states in the conduction band and known as the energy loss near edge structure (ELNES).
In principle, both the valence electron peaks and the ionization edges represent a fine structure that reflects the crystallographic or energy band structure of the specimen. The fine-structures of the ionization edges in the EEL spectra contain information that goes beyond the composition as the ELNES characteristics are determined mainly by the bonding states and thus, reflects the chemical neighborhood.
Although the fine structures of core loss spectra give information of the unoccupied density of states, the main application of EELS had still been the elemental quantification until the end of the 1980s mainly because the lack of modeling methods of the ELNES spectra. ELNES analysis has now been commonly applied since theoretical ELNES calculations become easier.
i) The bonding of ionized atoms.
ii) The coordination of the atom.
iii) The density of states.
iv) The distribution of other atoms around the ionized atom (radial distribution function, i.e. RDF).
In order to record the detailed fine structure of the edges, core-loss edges should be recorded with a small dispersion, e.g. 0.1 or 0.05 eV per channel.
An interpretation of near edge fine structures is not possible if the signal-to-noise ratio is too low.
ii) High energy resolutions (e.g. < 0.5 eV) is not always necessary, for instance, in some cases of core-loss spectroscopy, the fine structures in a core-loss spectrum are dominated by lifetime broadening and solid-state effects  that normally does not need high resolutions.
However, a monochromator for the electron source or data deconvolution is still necessary in the frontiers of TEM-EELS if the energy spread of the available electron source in TEM is larger than the intrinsic fine structures of spectra.
In practice, several critical processing steps need to be considered and performed before the fine structure on a core-loss edge can be accurately analyzed. Since the ZLP is normally not in the same acquired spectrum, the energy calibration is less straightforward than with low-loss spectra. Ideally, the detector channel of the zero-loss peak should be calibrated to the voltage offset applied to the spectrometer drift tube. However, it is not unusual that the energy stability is poor or there are spectral shifts due to magnetic fields so that the energy calibration is not reliable.

Rwanda plans for asylum seekers – from the UK
Tony Walters May 28, 2022
It is notable that Rwanda's political leadership is keen to show the outside world that it will take good care of asylum seekers sent by Britain.
The agreement means sending asylum seekers to Rwanda where the asylum procedure takes place, but it is the UK that bears the cost.
Long term cash
There are 1.5 billion Swedish kronor in the bowl for Rwanda. Much-needed funds as Rwanda's multi-year growth faltered with the news.
Rwandan President Paul Kagame won the last election with 98.8 percent. A figure that is hard to digest, not least because of the longstanding criticism by human rights organizations regarding the political repression and freedom of expression surrounding it.
The only opposition in the Rwandan parliament that has openly opposed the agreement is that Britain is trying to buy itself off responsibility.
Why don't they use all this money to ensure asylum seekers are settled in the UK? Instead of sending them to a country they didn't ask to come to, says Jean-Claude Ntisimana of Rwanda's Green Party.
See them as family.
The Rwandan government prefers to talk about compassion and helping those in need.
Especially if it comes to people coming from Africa. We consider them family, President Paul Kagame said in a recent speech.
At the Desir Hotel, the corridor gap was empty when COO Jackie Owamongo picked me up. She gets a little worried when I tell her that the asylum seekers have been delayed because of the appeal. Hotels have had trouble filling rooms after the pandemic.
– We're really looking forward to them coming, she says.

Euriah, 2019 Graduate
Antwoine, better known as Euriah, has not let adversity stand in his way. He came to HOPE Online Learning Academy Co-Op in Pueblo in 5th grade, struggling to find an education environment where he could succeed. HOPE quickly helped him get back on track.
"I could concentrate at HOPE, and it helped me do better work," said Euriah, who ended high school with a top GPA.
During his high school years at Alpha Learning Academy, Euriah became a leader in his Learning Center. He stepped up to volunteer in the middle school classroom, serving as a needed role model for his peers. Euriah also has become an avid artist and brought his passion to his HOPE Learning Center to share with other students. One of his favorite memories was a Comic Book Day he did at his Learning Center at the end of last year, encouraging the students to find their everyday 'superpowers.'
"My younger brother and I both love comics. There are great life lessons in them, including how to be good to yourself and others," said Euriah.
Euriah's contributions to his HOPE Learning Center did not go unnoticed in the community. In the spring of 2019, Prudential awarded Euriah a Spirit of Community Award in honor of his volunteer service to Alpha Learning Academy.
"What I admire the most about Euriah is his heart and his patience. He is a natural born leader and an exceptional role model for our students, who all look up to him. Euriah has been a definite asset to our Learning Center," said Ms. Jodene Muniz, HOPE Building Resource Coordinator/Teacher at Alpha Learning Academy.
Another setback for Euriah occurred in the 7th grade. A mishap during tonsil surgery left him with 50 percent lung capacity. Euriah was a competitive swimmer and had ambitions to compete in college and the Olympics.
"This helped me to take life more seriously and taught me to fight and work harder because tomorrow is not promised," said Euriah.
A strong work ethic is what propelled Euriah to earn his high school diploma. He took great satisfaction at the end of each school day in seeing what he had accomplished and learned that day. One of his favorite classes in school was science. He loved the hands-on experiments he performed with classmates. Additionally, working on the computer at HOPE helped him build skills to enter the workforce when he completed coursework early in December.
"I didn't know how to use a computer and all the applications before HOPE and now I am able to use these applications at my internship at Trane Manufacturing and Mission Foods," said Euriah.
This summer, Euriah is planning to move to California where he used to live and has family. Euriah has a love for helping others and is planning to pursue a degree to work as a SWAT.
"Education can take you far in life. No matter the challenges, you can do it," said Euriah.
Euriah has two younger siblings, Tobee and William, who are middle school students at HOPE's Alpha Learning Academy. He is close to his father, Antoine Sr., and mother, Desirae, who teaches at Alpha Learning Academy. He currently works at Mission LLC in Pueblo. During his time at Alpha Learning Academy, he assisted middle school students, served on the Student Council and helped with school activities, such as the dance decoration committee. Euriah also contributes his success to Ms. Celina Apodaca, Alpha Learning Academy's Director.
"She took a step of faith in opening Alpha Learning Academy and providing a learning environment that worked for students like me," said Euriah. "The entire staff at Alpha played a part in my education, and I am thankful for all of them. I now have the rest of my life to fulfill my dreams because of the solid foundation I built at HOPE."

Mayors, reeve look back to 2016, forward to 2017
Wetaskiwin mayor Bill Elliot won't seek re-election he tells State of City crowd
Stu Salkeld
Reeve Kathy Rooyakkers
After 28 years as councilor and mayor, the City of Wetaskiwin's Bill Elliot announced Apr. 20 he will not seek re-election this fall.
Speaking to the Wetaskiwin Regional Chamber of Commerce luncheon as part of his State of the City address where both County of Wetaskiwin reeve Kathy Rooyakkers and Town of Millet mayor Tony Wadsworth spoke, Elliot bluntly noted he's not running in the next municipal election.
Elliot didn't dwell too much on the bombshell. "I have many great memories and it would take too long to relate so many great memories," he said to the crowd.
The mayor said he has a very good council to work with, a council that's very active and makes sacrifices for the city.
Elliot stated he has lots of things planned to take up his time, including spending more time with family, working as a volunteer, working with First Nations and traveling to China next fall with the chamber of commerce group.
Any advice for the next mayor of the City of Wetaskiwin? "Do what you're going to do for the right reasons," added Elliot.
State of City
Elliot had plenty of other bits of information to share with the chamber crowd. "I'm going to brag about Wetaskiwin," said Elliot.
"Today's presentation is a good news story."
He said looking back at 2016, the hiring of new city manager Dave Burgess. The mayor said fresh eyes and a fresh approach and the city is already starting to see savings in every department.
Why should people live in Wetaskiwin, mused the mayor? Elliot noted lower taxes and lower housing costs mean a one third lower bill than Edmonton and Leduc, an easier commute to Edmonton International Airport and Nisku, this community is eighth in Canada in per capita donations, the community has a state of the art hospital, great schools with lower student-to-teacher ratio, special schools such as French immersion and Cree, provincial museums, local museums, modern recreation facilities and a streamlined development process for new business.
"We are open for business," said the mayor, noting the city saw 117 new business licenses issued in 2016.
Elliot said the city was also happy to see phase 4 renovations completed downtown, with phase 3, including Jubilee Park, to follow this summer. The mayor said he's happy to see Main Street more accessible, including the new roundabout by the high school that's improved traffic flow.
He was also happy with council's recent budget deliberations. "We passed a budget with a zero per cent increase," said Elliot, noting council understands the hardships facing local residents in the down economy.
The mayor said the city is proud of its poverty reduction and walkable Wetaskiwin committees and also noted Wetaskiwin residents see about 53 per cent of waste diverted from the landfill. "We are great recyclers in Wetaskiwin," said Elliot, adding that the city is hoping to install as many solar-powered crosswalk lights this year as possible.
The mayor said there's still plenty of work to do before next fall's municipal election. "This council does not intend to coast into this election period," he said.
Elliot said when critics say something negative about the city, it always affects elected officials including himself. Elliot said when you're mayor, you're mayor 24-7 and fully invested.
Reeve Rooyakkers
Rooyakkers said she wished Elliot the best in his retirement and laughed that it was a major announcement to follow-up on. "That's going to be hard to follow, Bill," said Rooyakkers.
Looking back at 2016, the reeve reminded those present that the county is vast, thousands of square kilometers and thousands of kilometers of roads.
She said 2016 saw some things continue as always; the county had to remove 11 beaver dams to keep traffic flowing. However, the county office also saw an expansion for much-needed space.
The protective services department is seeing ice and water rescue training going ahead in 2017. There are many partners involved, noted the reeve, but the South Pigeon Lake and Mulhurst fire departments will be taking the training.
There have also been changes made to the county's fireworks bylaw: a fireworks permit is now required year-round. Also, changes to the county's fire permits will change in 2018 to coincide with the Alberta government's wildfire season. This year, the county will also have its 911 service coming out of a new call centre that has state of the art equipment.
Rooyakkers said the county is very proud of its new ice surface at the Winfield arena, which was both on time and under budget.
The reeve said public works is always an important department. "This is our biggest budget," said Rooyakkers. She said gravel roads take the majority of the work, while several major paving projects are also planned this year.
As well, there are 171 bridges in the County of Wetaskiwin and the municipality is facing a possible deficit over the next 10 years on bridge infrastructure.
The county also had a serious problem with bridge damage in Aug., 2016. Rooyakkers said two bridges were destroyed by floodwaters, and the price tag is $3 million. The county is hoping to obtain disaster funding to repair the bridges and re-open those roads.
The county has also completed a rural road study. "We've just had our first look at it," she said. Rooyakkers noted a third of the county roads get graveled every year; some may become a priority based on necessity.
Regional planning is an important part of the county's annual workload, said Rooyakkers. She noted a Land-use Bylaw amendment was recently passed applying to recreational vehicle use in residential area of the summer villages and also noted enforcement is done on a complaint basis.
Upcoming changes to the Municipal Government Act will require certain agreements be signed with surrounding municipalities; Rooyakkers noted the county will have to sign 14 of these. She said the county doesn't know yet if agreements will also be required with First Nations.
The reeve said the large decrease in linear assessment for the county has direct ramifications for the budget. Rooyakkers said there will be a tax increase to offset this loss, but it will be spread widely. The county is also, for the first time in years, transferring money from reserves to off-set the tax increase.
On the bright side, Rooyakkers said the county has a large supply of gravel stockpiled, and both unionized and non-unionized staff have agreed to take zero per cent wage increases in recognition of tough economic times.
Rooyakkers said she's happy to lead a council that works well together. "I do have to say we have a really, really good council," she said.
Mayor Wadsworth
Wadsworth also recognized Elliot's dedication, and noted the three municipalities get along well. "There is no doubt the Town of Millet is fortunate to have the neighbours we have," said Wadsworth at the luncheon. He noted it's not common in Alberta for urban and rural municipalities to get along so well.
Wadsworth said 2016 was a very interesting year for Millet for many reasons, not the least of which is that he completed his first full year as mayor. "I survived," he said.
He said the biggest hope was that the Nisku to Millet water line would be completed and switched on, as water quality issues have affected Millet for a long time. He said the town council has worked for years to get the project done. He said it was finally approved in 2012, but it still dragged along; Millet suggested the town pay upfront for the project, and be reimbursed by the province later.
Again, it was supposed to be up and running in Dec. 2016, but that didn't work out either. Wadsworth himself vowed he wouldn't cut his hair until the project went ahead. Well, a few weeks ago the mayor noted, it became clear the ceremonial switching on of the water was to be done Apr. 20, so he finally got a haircut. "It took six months," he said of the hair-growing.
Another major project in 2016 was the annexation of some County of Wetaskiwin land on the east side of town. Wadsworth noted Millet did not have much industrial land available, and this annexation, with the blessing of the County of Wetaskiwin, would add 721 acres to the list. Wadsworth noted the annexation has gone through a provincial hearing and now the town is waiting on that decision.
The former Copper Tree proposed residential development is also back in the news. Wadsworth stated the project had been in receivership, but it looks like a purchase may be in the works. The town has signed a memorandum of understanding with a potential developer, and it's possible the land in question could be on the market again.
He also noted two pedestrian bridges were recently installed, meaning the walking path is now continuous. He said councilors are also anxiously awaiting approval of a proposed off-leash dog park.

About 40 of us gathered for a champagne toast at the Bleau Bar and then headed off to our first destination, Hakkasan, the elegant restaurant known for its creative Cantonese cuisine and weekend Dim Sum brunch.
Their Miami Spice menu offers both a Dim Sum prix fixe lunch menu and a dinner classic menu with a signature Hakkasan twist.
From the Dim Sum menu, we sampled three steamed dumplings; Chinese chive and shrimp, Black rice and vegetable, and Spicy beef with lotus root shu mai.
From the Dinner menu, a Crispy Almond Rock Shrimp with spicy sauce was presented. And we finished with an entrée of Sautéed Diced Chicken with cashews and dried chili in Szechuan sauce. We added a chili rimmed cocktail to "cool" off. Additional Spice dinner options also include a Grilled Honey Snapper or Sautéed Pok Choi with Garlic Sauce.
Service was attentive, and each dish was explained and presented beautifully. We all commented that we could have just stopped right there and been very happy.
But off we went to Scarpetta, celebrity chef, Scott Conant's upscale Italian spot on Miami Beach. The setting with waterfront views and buzzy front bar area features homemade pasta and regional Italian specialties. And the Miami Spice menu did not disappoint, as we were presented with the most popular signature dishes including the Creamy Polenta with fricassee of truffled mushrooms as appetizer, a crispy skin Branzino and the crave-worthy fresh Spaghetti in a flavorful Tomato and Basil sauce. Many other options for Spice include Braised Short Ribs, and Oven Roasted Chicken with black garlic gnudi.
After polishing off these delicious specialties, we headed to chic chophouse, StripSteak by Michael Mina, where the impressive wine wall greeted us as we filed in. Chef William Crandall, who has been a popular local chef in Miami for a number of years, introduced the Miami Spice menu which included a refreshing Kale salad with miso vinaigrette and shrimp crisps.
The main entrée was, of course, a perfectly pink Filet Mignon with sides of broccolini and creamy mashed potatoes and choice of signature sauces. Other entree options include a Sweet Corn Cavatelli and Sole Meuniere.
Dessert was presented with flourish, as Fontainebleau Signature Dining pastry chef, Breanna Tepper, who is responsible for all of the restaurant's desserts, introduced a Chocolate Cake with Raspberry and Chocolate Sorbet from Hakkasan, an Espresso Tartufo with Hazelnuts from Scarpetta, and The Floridian, a key lime curd with macadamia streusel from StripSteak.
If you have only one place to Spice, any of these top-notch restaurants at The Fontainebleau will not disappoint.
Miami Spice runs from August 1- September 30th and features over 240 restaurants offering $23 lunch and $39 prix fixe menus. For more information visit @iloveMiamispice .


Peekaboo Factory was created by Parents of two extremely active kids. The minute my first child started to walk, I was struggling to find a safe place for him to burn off some energy without me helping him every step of the way. I remember sitting in front of the computer every weekend looking for places to take him that are safe, that offers walk-ins, and, most importantly, were affordable. There are other indoor facilities in San Francisco—however, most of them are closed all day for private parties on the weekends or they all require long-term memberships. I was left with the public parks that are unsafe. At that moment, I was determined to create a community for parents to alleviate some of the added stress of having kids by helping them really embrace and enjoy their younger years.
As my family grew bigger with the arrival of my second child, I found myself struggling to find a decent place to have their birthday parties that are affordable and hassle-free with little or no planning. I wanted to create a memorable experience for your kids and, most importantly, give you, the parents, time to enjoy the party and enjoy your guests while we do all the work.
As a passionate party planner and Mom of two extremely active kids, I want you to join my community of embracing "PLAY" and enjoy your children as much as I do.
