How do you choose replacement parts for your Nissan vehicle? Are you hoping to repair a headlight or mirror? Accidents happen. Repairs and replacements are eventually needed in every vehicle.
Do you need the perfect replacement part? Our dealership in Duluth, Georgia only uses OEM parts for repairs. What do you get with an OEM part? You get an exact replica of the original part. OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. That means the manufacturer who built the original part also built the replacement piece.
What are the Benefits of OEM Parts vs Aftermarket Parts?
Does an OEM part really stand apart from an aftermarket part? An OEM part provides many benefits that an aftermarket part might not. It's made by the original manufacturer. This means the original specifications aren't modified. Aftermarket parts are developed by third party companies who might produce the piece for a larger volume of makes and models. This means the part might not fit exactly. It might not be made of the same materials.
Quality is an important asset of any vehicle. You want dependability and parts that will last for a longer duration. That's why our technicians prefer installing OEM parts. They know OEM parts are built with the same great materials as the original. Quality is important in repairs for any vehicle. Your vehicle needs a replacement part that can stand the normal pressures of driving.
How does a warranty impact OEM parts? A vehicle warrant might actually specify that only OEM parts can be utilized in repairs. This ensures the vehicle gets the proper treatment it deserves. An OEM part might also come with an additional limited warranty. Many aftermarket parts aren't equipped with warranties.
Do you want a replacement part that is meant to fit your exact make and model? An OEM part is meant to be an exact replica. Our service team prefers installing OEM parts because they are easier to replace. They provide the proper fit every single time. Aftermarket parts might not fit exactly how they need to fit. This could be a huge issue with installation and long term durability.
You can visit our dealership today to learn more about the benefits of OEM parts. You can schedule an appointment with our service team to replace any part you need on your Nissan. We're more than happy to guide you through the process and answer any questions you have about OEM parts or repairs to your Nissan. Our professional service team is always here to help you with your automotive needs.


Pro-junta Palang Pracharat Party has nominated three prime ministerial candidates, including junta chief Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha.
After the party executive meeting on Wednesday, party secretary general Sontirat Sontijirawong said the party will nominate Prayut, its party leader Uttama Savanayana and Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak as its candidates in the prime ministerial list.
They will send an invitation to the three candidates later, he said.
The current Constitution requires each party to name up to three candidates for the country's top job – a political stipulation designed by the charter writers.
Parties have until February 8 to submit their PM candidate list to the Election Commission.
After the election, a party or a group of parties with the highest number of House seats will nominate a candidate for the premier's job in a joint House and Senate sitting.
The House will be comprised of 500 elected members of Parliament and the Senate will be made of 250 senators handpicked by the National Council for Peace and Order.

Lasting Legacy: the Winners of the 2019 Governor General's Awards in Visual and Media Arts
Becky Rynor
Canada's prestigious Governor General's Awards in Visual and Media Arts is a life-time achievement award recognizing an artist's career, body of work and contribution to the visual arts – including architecture and photography, the media arts and contemporary practices in this field. This year the award honours nine outstanding laureates: Stephen Andrews, Marlene Creates, COZIC (Yvon Cozic and Monic Brassard), Susan Edgerley, Ali Kazimi, Lee-Ann Martin, Andrew James Paterson and Jeff Thomas. "Throughout their outstanding careers, these artists have moved us, provoked us and stunned us," comments Simon Brault, director of the Canada Council for the Arts. "Above all, they have triggered reflections within each of us that go far beyond words and images." The CCA collaborates with several partners on administering the award and each year a selection of works by the winners is presented at the National Gallery of Canada.
"These are Canadian artists who have been working for up to five decades," says Adam Welch, Associate Curator for Canadian Art, who together with Nicole Burisch, Assistant Curator for Contemporary Art, and Jasmine Inglis, Curatorial Assistant for Indigenous Art, has pulled the show together in a relatively tight timeframe following the announcement. "It makes for an intense curatorial experience, but a fun project to work on," he says. "Just the sheer variety of styles, materials, techniques and approaches that these laureates are working with is reinforced by this exhibition." Presenting works from the Gallery's collection with loans from the artists and other institutions, the exhibition includes seminal works such as COZIC's Mammary Complex (1970), Ali Kazimi's Fair Play and Marlene Creates' Sybilla Nitsman, Labrador 1988 from her series The Distance between Two Points Is Measured in Memories.

Toronto visual artist Stephen Andrews' work frequently draws upon the global effects of AIDS, escalating warfare and global capitalism. Diagnosed HIV positive 30 years ago, Andrews says his work, comprising drawing, painting, animation, ceramics and choreography, is deeply informed by that diagnosis as well as the larger societal context. Regardless of the medium, he says the hand-made aspect of his work is always prominent "to represent both the message and the means by which it is delivered."
The Quebec artistic duo, COZIC – Yvon Cozic and Monic Brassard – has been collaborating for 50 years to the point that they consider themselves to be one artistic entity, un artiste bicéphale. COZIC's practice draws upon recycled materials, sculptures that invite public participation and creations embedded in nature. The two say they decided to collaborate beginning in the late 1960s because they wanted their creations to "question the ego-artistic".

Marlene Creates is an environmental artist and poet from Portugal Cove in Newfoundland. She says her work turned a corner when she decided to step away from the studio and work outdoors. "Suddenly," she says, "the whole world became my studio." She lives and works on six acres of Boreal forest creating art that explores the intertwining relationships between people, the human experience, memory, language and the land.

Toronto filmmaker and media artist Ali Kazimi tackles complex issues of race, social justice, migration, history and memory. His recent work Random Acts of Legacy (2016), for example, uses 16mm home movies to illustrate a Chinese-American family's experience with race and class. From 1984 to 1996, Kazimi shot a documentary on fellow Governor General's Award-winner, Iroquois photographer Jeff Thomas. Kazimi says Shooting Indians: A Journey with Jeffrey Thomas was intended to "unravel the hidden history" of the land chosen as his home.
It was Kazimi's gift of five plastic Indigenous figures that inspired Jeff Thomas' long-term project Indians on Tour back in 2000. Thomas, a photo-based artist, writer and curator, creates work that examines his own history and identity while exploring Indigenous ways of knowing and communicating. Based in Ottawa, Thomas says he "always felt photography can be used to heal the Indigenous experience because we come from a colonial history of erasure." His Indians on Tour series, a selection of which is featured in the exhibition, situates these plastic figures in rural landscapes and urban settings and challenges their stereotypical portrayal. These 'travelogues' are reflections and juxtapositions of history, memory and identity.

Interdisciplinary Toronto artist Andrew James Paterson works in film, video, live performance, painting, music and literature. He is a published author and editor and, while he notes that he will always be a writer, he says he also "likes the idea of language that is not intended to have a meaning, that is decorative for its own sake". Paterson's complex and sophisticated practice draws on philosophy, queer aesthetics and tensions between technologies and the human body. He has performed as a musician and actor which also informs his highly eclectic, diverse oeuvre.

The winner of the Saidye Bronfman Award, the highest distinction in Canadian fine craft artistry, is Quebec glass artist Susan Edgerly. "Glass for me is a poetic material," she says. "When I work with glass, I feel like I am writing a story." Edgerley is internationally renowned for her large scale and mixed media pieces. "Susan's artistic creations explore the subtle and sensitive avenues of life," says nominator Christian Poulin, director general of Espace VERRE. "They combine female sensibility, poetry, nature, vulnerability, time and ingenuity with technical excellence, originality, and a deep understanding of art and of her craft."

Curator Lee-Ann Martin is the 2019 recipient of the Outstanding Contribution Award. A champion of Indigenous art, her career has included Head Curator of the MacKenzie Art Gallery, Coordinator for the Task Force on Museums and First Peoples and Curator of Contemporary Canadian Aboriginal Art at the Canadian Museum of History, mounting the pivotal exhibition INDIGENA: Perspectives of Indigenous People on 500 Years. Last year, she curated the groundbreaking Resilience billboard exhibition which saw contemporary artworks by 50 Indigenous women displayed on billboards across Canada. The powerful nation-wide exhibition was a response to a call for action by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Report.
"These laureates reflect the full mix of rich and diverse Canadian talent," says Tara Lapointe, CCA's director of Outreach and Business Development. "To be able to honour nine recipients ... encompassing all forms of visual and media art, really depicts that range of a robust and dynamic visual arts sector in Canada."
The exhibition The Governor General's Awards in Visual and Media Arts 2019, organized by the National Gallery of Canada in collaboration with the Canada Council for the Arts, is on view at the National Gallery of Canada from March 28 to August 5, 2019.

Once again it?s time for Guild?s ?Golden Age of Light Music? series to take another musical tour around Europe, prompted by so many appealing works created by talented composers from near and far. In the world of music you do not have to be a native to express the beauty in a favourite location: the saying ?the onlooker sees more of the game? sums it all up quite well. The first four tracks visit the home countries of the British Isles, before setting out for a varied selection of melodies either created in the places they salute, or else written and performed from far away as tributes to places worshipped from afar. With names such as Robert Farnon, George Melachrino, Mantovani, Michel Legrand and David Rose involved the result has to be a most satisfying and nostalgic musical tour.

Q: MySQL dead-locking with UPDATE JOIN and INSERT SELECT statements We've run into a considerable number of dead-locks recently and they seem to be happening at this query:
  INSERT
    INTO link_click (link_id, created_at, weight)
  SELECT :link_id, :created_at, lw.weight
    FROM link_weight lw
   WHERE lw.link_id = :link_id AND lw.start_at < :created_at
ORDER BY lw.start_at DESC
   LIMIT 1

Where link_id and created_at are passed in as PDO parameters
This is part of a larger transaction.
The dead-locks only appear to occur when the following separate query is running on a cron every 30 minutes:
UPDATE owner o
  JOIN (
    SELECT l.owner_id,
           SUM((lc.state = 1) * lc.weight) total_pending,
           SUM((lc.state = 2) * lc.weight) total_confirmed,
           SUM((lc.state = 3) * lc.weight) total_awaiting_processing,
           SUM((lc.state = 4) * lc.weight) total_processed,
           SUM((lc.state = 5) * lc.weight) total_invalid
      FROM link_click lc
      JOIN link l
        ON l.id = lc.link_id
     WHERE (:owner_id IS NULL OR l.owner_id = :owner_id)
       AND lc.state != 0
  GROUP BY l.owner_id
       ) raw
    ON raw.owner_id = o.id
   SET o.total_pending = raw.total_pending,
       o.total_confirmed = raw.total_confirmed,
       o.total_awaiting_processing= raw.total_awaiting_processing,
       o.total_processed= raw.total_processed,
       o.total_invalid = raw.total_invalid

Where owner_id is passed in. This is a one shot query not in a transaction but takes roughly 30s to complete.
I wasn't aware that INSERT SELECT or UPDATE JOIN would lock any rows beyond themselves and cause such a dead-lock.
I guess my question is whether separating out the SELECTs (I don't need a FOR UPDATE lock) from each query would help this situation?
Or is it more likely that the dead-lock is coming from the first query's transaction and the second query is just slowing down the database and that's making the dead-locks more frequent?

A: Add these indexes:
link_weight:  (link_id, start_at, weight) -- in this order
link:         (owner_id, id)              -- in this order
link_click:   (state, owner_id)           -- in this order
owner:        (owner_id, total_processed) -- in either order

If owner has PRIMARY KEY(owner_id) then don't add the owner index above.
The goal is to speed up processing to minimize deadlocks.  Since deadlocks probably cannot be completely eliminated, be read to rerun transactions when they do occur.
If that does not suffice, break up the UPDATE into two steps:
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE raw
      ( INDEX(owner_id, total_processed) )
AS
    SELECT ...;   -- from your existing code
UPDATE owner o
  JOIN raw
    ON raw.owner_id = o.id
   SET o.total_pending = raw.total_pending,
       o.total_confirmed = raw.total_confirmed,
       o.total_awaiting_processing= raw.total_awaiting_processing,
       o.total_processed= raw.total_processed,
       o.total_invalid = raw.total_invalid;

If you need further help, please provide
EXPLAIN SELECT ...
EXPLAIN UPDATE ...
SHOW CREATE TABLE ...

Duo mortgaged house to buy fake visas, bogus BVI jobs
in All News / By: on November 7, 2018 at 7:20 AM /
Dominican Republicans Edward Ortiz (foreground) and Mady Rodriguez.
Edward Jesismar Carmano Ortiz and Mady Miguelina Marte Rodriguez took out a mortgage on their family home in the Dominican Republic to fund what they believed to be genuine BVI visas and Labour clearance documents.
But not only were the visas fake, but the intended places of employment listed on their BVI Labour clearance forms did not exist in the BVI, prosecutors told the court.
Rodriquez expected to work at 'Nigel's Boom Boom Beach Bar & Grill' while Ortiz's form described a bogus cleaning company.
This was revealed during their court appearance on Tuesday before Magistrate Shawn Innocent.
The duo was charged with possession of forged documents and illegal entry, however, those matters were dismissed for want of prosecution.
A fresh charge of possession of a forged visa was laid on them on Tuesday. They pleaded guilty.
What the court heard happened
The court heard that on October 24 the duo was arrested after they produced fake Labour clearance documentation and counterfeit BVI visas to Immigration officials at the TB Lettsome International Airport on Beef Island.
However, when interviewed by police, the two claimed that they each took out mortgages to pay the $5,000 fee required to get their BVI documentation.
Rodriguez said she was contacted by a 'lady' via Facebook, who promised her a job in a hotel in the territory.
She said she paid $4,000 to a 'man' on behalf of the 'lady' before they began processing her documents.
Rodriquez said she paid the remaining $1,000 to the same 'man' when he brought her the visa documents a month later.
Ortiz, in the meantime, said he was approached by a 'man' from his home country who is a friend of a relative (who lives in the BVI).
The man in question offered to help him get his documentation that would enable him to legally live and work in the British Virgin Islands.
Victims?
The offenders' attorney Leroy Jones told the court that his clients were victims and urged the court to exercise leniency.
The defendants, in addition, apologized to the court for their actions and pointed out that they assisted the police with the names of the persons who duped them with the false documents.
Prosecutors, however, moved to shut down the defence's submission that the duo were victims, arguing that they should have taken the legal route to obtain their documents.
They said they considered the increased frequency of fake visa matters and the fact that they have not taken full responsibility for their offences.
The prosecution then urged the court to consider sending the message that the court does not take it lightly when persons enter the territory via illegal means.
The matter was adjourned to Wednesday for sentencing.
Peaches says:
Those who helped to entangle them in this weave needs to be dragged into Court as well.
lawyer says:
They are guilty. They knew it was not a legal visa. It is a culture in the Dominican Republic to purchase fake documents, license etc. And if one got through it opens a flood gate when they tell others. I hope you can find those who are already here with the fake visas and prosecute them. We don't need any wanted criminals living amongst us.
Paradise says:
They wanted to come to the BVI so badly they would do this?
Answer says:
Gateway to St. Thomas/US.
Nope says:
They could have been fooled .It happens in Mingo.
Reason says:
It is sad when individuals like these want to do illegal things to get to have a better life and help thier families. It have alot of men, women that gets away with this sort of things. Tortola has alot of illegal immigrants. The parasites that leads these individuals to this sort of activity needs to be arrested.
And... says:
Know that the legal immigrants and their employers who go through all the stupidity at immigration wants this matter sorted as well. Verifiable regulated people should never have been taking so much time at labour and immigration taking up time that ought to have been spent on the illigal activities. But then some Belongers need their indentured labour… they also need to face the full force of the authorities.
No nonsense says:
Let the ruling political party see half of what is intended to take place at that beach bar at smugglers cove. And the illegal aliens that showed up there that was not publically mentioned. Who supporting this guy in his shady business on crown land.
Deh Watcha says:
Their is a counterfeit ring in operation it seems.
hmmmm too... says:
the place of business is not a fake , it is right here in BVI smugglers cove see link;

Zagat says:
TripAdvisor claims its the best place to eat in the BVI? How 'bout dat?
son of the soil says:
I'm convinced that the BVI is heaven because these outsiders will do anything to get here
Well Well says:
They think fools live here or something.
Caribbean Girl says:
Why apologize to the Court if they believed documents were legit?
mmario says:
Well well Magistrate now we are talking this is the kind of action i wanted to see coming from the court . I love your quote. " They should have taken the legal route to obtain their documents"
The request for leniency from the defendants attorney is pure rubbish.
I was born in the DR and have no sympathy for them. Remorseful now b/c they got caught otherwise everything would have been IRE. This should send a message to all who want to come here. I would like to see the person who has the relative in the BVI come before the Magistrate so he or she can explain themselves.
I don't think is the case that they think that the BVI is heaven. The Dominican Republic has more to offer than the BVI everyone knows that. The reason behind the migration is the level of corruption in their own country, politicians are squeezing them so much that they are forced to flee. BVI is no heaven, my friend, I know people there that are treated as a slave and that is no joke, my friend. The Dominincan republic inst a poor country rather, a rich country. Just imagine if in the BVI only a few people own all the resources just like back in the Colonial days where the Brits own all the island and its resources. Many of you had to migrate to the DR in search of work to feed your families b/c the Brits took everything and left you to fend for your selves. The same thing is happening in the DR today. DR today is the modern Brits.
Don't be too convinced that the BVI is heaven.
People will continue to migrate as a result of the pillagers of the world. Yes, those tycoon that dress in suits so called business men, the one that think they own the world. The reason many Africans have wars and migrate to other countries mainly EU is b/c of those pillager of the world who strike deals with local corrupt politicians to steel the local resources from a country. If you don' believe me, go and ask the Brits and the Spanish how they got their wealth and became royalties and Kings.
DR is the child prostitution capital of the world. If these people would pimp their own children, sons and daughters to old men sex tourists, what do you think they wouldn't do to you and me. Keep the BVI and it's tourism product clean and classy!
Hispaniar says:
After Irma many wrong thin goes on here in bvi many people from here are making good business with immigrant that are desperate in they country open eyes
Aint no way you gonna mortgage a house to come to the vvi to work in a bar…the BVI have gold?? I love my BVI but these two are nooooo victims

The ground was loaned by the Rotheschilds for use by the villagers for sports etc. The Parish Council was responsible for the upkeep (fences, gates etc.). There were no games allowed after dusk or on Sundays. The local farmers would put ponies and some cattle to graze overnight in the Rec. When the Rotheschilds sold some of their farms and various meadows in around 1936, they offered to sell the recreation ground to the village for approximately £30.00, as the Parish Council did not want to buy it. The solicitors of the Rotheschilds in Tring were also Father Anthony's solicitors and mentioned to him how surprised they were that the Parish Council was not taking up the offer. Father Anthony was furious, put a deposit down, called a public meeting and with full public support, money was raised to buy the ground for the village.
The old airfield is known locally both as "Long Marston Airfield" and "Marsworth Airfield". It occupies an area between these two villages and, at it's northernmost point, is close to Cheddington. In fact it's official title from the war years (and the name that is used in official records) is Cheddington. This is because all new airfields at the time were named by the nearest railway station.
In Long Marston there used to be four public houses. These were: The Boot, The Queen's Head, The White Hart and The Rose and Crown. The Rose and Crown had another function as well as entertainment – it had a butcher's shop and a sweet shop in it too. Now Long Marston only has two of our pubs remaining: The Queen's Head and The Boot, which on November 5th 2003 also became our village shop. Just goes to show how things go round.

Hiromi Cake, The First Japanese Pastry Shop in Rome, Italy
The opening of a traditional Japanese pastry shop finally completes the circle of one of the most favored cuisine in the capital. Hiromi Cake was opened by Pastry Chef Hiromi in the Prati area of Rome where she maintains a laboratory for making yogashi, sweets of foreign origin and wagashi, the traditional Japanese sweets.
Wagashi are best enjoyed accompanied with a cup of green tea.
The term wagashi refers to traditional Japanese sweets from antique origins. They come in a wide variety of shapes and consistencies, made with diverse ingredients and preparation methods.
The appearance of the wagashi is extremely fundamental because these artisan jewels should provide aesthetic pleasure and delightful taste.
The main ingredient is usually anko (sweet azuki bean paste) as well as rice flour, sweet potatoes, sesame paste, kuzu starch, kanten and agar (gelatinous substance obtained from algae). Daifuku and dorayaki are some of the popular wagashi that we can find at Hiromi Cake. Yogashi instead are revisited cakes that are mainly influenced by French and American baking in which the essential elements are glutinous rice, matcha tea, seasonal fruits and anko bean jam.
As part of her preparations in studying the art of making wagashi, Hiromi spent some time at a mango plantation, one of the most expensive and sought-after ingredient in the Japanese market.
At the laboratory, Hiromi works with three other Japanese women, Mitsuko, Tomoko and Rika, in composing and finishing the cakes that can be watched by the customers.
Each one of them has a specialization in the cakes. Hiromi's creativity shines through her finished mono portions of yogashi (but you can also order the bigger cake versions). They are characterized by the usage of less sugar compared to the recipes that they are based on and the integration of Japanese elements. Another one specializes in the wagashi like daifuku (a confection consisting of a small round mochi stuffed with sweet filling most commonly anko), and dorayaki (a confection consisting of two small pancake-like patties filled with anko in the middle). Another member of the team specializes in some yogashi like the mille crepe and cheesecakes.

Why does everybody assume that only removing someone important, or a close relative of someone important will massively affect history?
One time travel theory is that you can't change the past, only make it happen correctly. Before they time traveled they were in a present where that guy stopped existing in the past because of time travel in the future that already will happen.
I'm a bit of a fan of the Loop Theory, stating you can't change time because you've already done it.
Alternately, there's the Many Worlds theory that says changes to the past create a new time line, but don't alter your own history.
Wait, isn't that Multiverse Theory, where each decision creates a new universe?
Technically historical importance is inverse-transitory. If your descendant is important, you are important. Does not follow that you are important if your ancestor was, though.
If it'll change ANYthing important, it doesn't matter if he's directly related to it, he's still important indirectly.
For all we know, he could have sneezed at the right time to call attention to two people to notice each other and talk when they wouldn't have otherwise. Maybe those two people decide to spend time together and something important comes of THAT— Then this guy sneezing at that moment becomes important and removing him causes a chain reaction of consequences.
She can make more batteries, right?
I don't see why not, though she should start looking towards more traditional manufacturing to mass producing.
Aren't the batteries what caused the time travel? If she can't stop that from happening, pretty sure she shouldn't be making more batteries.

The Dolphin Way offers parenting tips from marine mammals
New book will eschew raising kids tiger-style for a balanced marine-mammal way
by Gail Johnson on November 26th, 2013 at 6:19 PM
Yale law professor Amy Chua set off a firestorm with the release of her 2011 book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. The Asian-American academic wrote openly about her severe and strict parenting style that involved no play dates and hours of daily piano practice for her two daughters. Her memoir of that disciplinarian approach struck psychiatrist Shimi Kang, medical director for child and youth mental-health programs for Vancouver Coastal Health, the daughter of Indian immigrants, and mother of three.
"I had a very dramatic reaction to that book because as a psychiatrist, I see the fallout of that kind of parenting style," Kang says in an interview at a downtown café. "I see depression. I see anxiety. I see it in kids and parents. I see unhappy homes….For months after the book came out, I saw more of it, people thinking this is the way to go, especially in particular ethnic groups.
"It affected me on a professional level, but it also affected me on a personal level," she adds. "I'm eastern, and I thought it was totally misrepresenting half the world. It was painting a huge group with the same brush. I didn't grow up with tiger parents at all; they were dolphins."
With that, Kang hits on the underlying theme of her forthcoming book, The Dolphin Way: A Parent's Guide to Raising Healthy, Happy, and Successful Kids Without Turning Into a Tiger. The youngest of five, Kang grew up in Calgary and moved to Vancouver for med school. She practises psychiatry at B.C. Women's Hospital & Health Centre and is also a clinical associate professor at UBC's faculty of medicine. She says that everyone, not just parents, can learn from the dolphin way of being: they're considered playful, social, joyful, and altruistic.
"I definitely grew up in a pod," Kang says. "Our family was big and we did things together. I was never in a single activity; none of my siblings were. We spent a lot of time at home together. The pod was very strong. We always had a sense of community. We had cousins nearby and we grew up in a lower-middle-class neighbourhood. We knew all the neighbourhood kids. They were very strong on values, very strong on collaboration and being part of community. Helping the community was a key part—thinking beyond your own personal bubble. They asked, 'What are you going to do to make the world a better place?'
"My parents definitely never pushed," she adds. "They didn't pamper, either. They were immigrants doing three jobs each. It wasn't easy, but it was happy."
Kang says that a "dolphin parent" isn't the opposite of a tiger—that would be the jellyfish. "Jellyfish have no rules, no direction, no expectations, no boundaries—it's what we call permissive parenting," she says, noting that the tiger-mother style is authoritarian. Dolphins, meanwhile, tend to be authoritative. "Authoritative parents maintain authority but it isn't authoritarian. There are rules, but they're negotiable. There are expectations but they can be discussed, and there's choice. The dolphin is balanced."
The result of dolphinlike parenting, according to Kang and other proponents, are kids who are healthy, well-adjusted, content, confident, and accomplished.
On the other hand, research backs up the possible negative outcomes of tiger parenting.
Su Yeong Kim, an associate professor in the University of Texas at Austin's school of human ecology, headed a study that was published earlier this year in Asian American Journal of Psychology that involved more than 450 Chinese American families over an eight-year period.
The supportive-parenting profile—which was the most common style—was associated with the best developmental outcomes. Compared with the supportive approach, the tiger-parenting profile was associated with lower GPA and educational attainment, as well as less of a sense of family obligation; it was also associated with increased academic pressure, more depressive symptoms, and a greater sense of alienation.
"The current study suggests that, contrary to the common perception, tiger parenting is not the most typical parenting profile in Chinese American families, nor does it lead to optimal adjustment among Chinese American adolescents," the American Psychological Association's abstract states.
"What we know about childhood is that it's a foundation for life," Kang says. "A happy childhood really sets this groundwork for what is to come. We know as we get older that life has ups and downs, and we draw upon memories and lessons and values from childhood to deal with things. If you're in a bubble of piano practice and activities without true social bonding—there's plenty of socialization but not enough social bonding—it's that much harder. The home, in many cases of tiger family, has become a pit stop between activities.
"The high expectations of perfectionism impact happiness," she adds. "Perfection is associated with lower mood and anxiety. It's an unrealistic bar, and you're never good enough."
Kang, who draws on everything from her background in motivational therapy to her personal experiences as a mother with kids aged eight, six, and three in The Dolphin Way, says her book isn't a "how to" parenting manual but a guide to adopting a dolphinlike way of life. That starts with a balanced, healthy lifestyle.
"As a psychiatrist and medical doctor, I find I spend a lot of time talking to people about very basic health: why it's important to sleep; why it's important to exercise," she says. "There are things we need to do every day: exercise, sleep, eat healthy, drink water not caffeine. When we look at diabetes and depression and addiction, we can see that as humans we're killing ourselves because our lifestyle is more out of tune than ever before. Dolphins sleep eight hours a day. The dolphin as a metaphor allows us to think outside the species to remind ourselves what it means to be human."
Then there's the fact that dolphins love to play. That's one factor that's seriously lacking in the lives of people of all ages, Kang says.
"Whether you're an adult or a child, we know that if you were to ask people, 'When does your mood get better?' they will always give you an answer connected to play," she says. "Dolphins play every day. We need to learn how to bring play back. We're hardwired to play."

What most people seem to misunderstand about Amy Chua's "Tiger Mom" parenting is the crucial ingredient: the deep love and involvement that she showed when bringing up her children (whom I know, and who are happy, well-adjsuted, compassionate and highly accomplished young women). Without that love and involvement, it may result in the anxious, depressed children the author of Dolphin Mom describes. Amy Chua was right there with her girls, loving them and building their self-esteem through their accomplishments. The proff is in the pudding, as they say.

I disagree with Sylvia's comments. As a mother and a teacher for 27 years I have seen thousands of children in my career and of course in my family and raising my own. Parents such as "tiger" mom often sit on the sidelines dictating and forcing the learning whereas a dolphin mom is truly involved. Getting involved kinesthetically with the learning of their children is true involvement.
As an educator, the difference between a tiger teacher - who stands in the front of the class and dictates the learning outcomes is very different from dolphin teacher where there is a positive learning environment and the teacher is on her/his needs guiding the learning.
What can e defined as involvement is up for discussion.

Santa Cruz County has become the first county in California to impose a "permanent" ban on fracking, as well as all other on-shore oil and gas development. Tuesday morning the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the pre-emptive move against hydraulic fracturing, a technology that uses water and chemicals to unlock oil and gas underground.
"Some would say this is a symbolic gesture," said Supervisor Bruce McPherson. "But I think it's a message that needs to be sent out and listened to, especially on our quality of life and particularly about the impact it might have on our water supply, whether it occurs inside this county or in adjacent counties."


Netscape and Microsoft are in the final stretch on the third major releases of their browsers, and they're neck and neck.
As Netscape Communications and Microsoft are in the final stretch on the third major releases of their browsers, and they're neck and neck.
Netscape has touched-up Navigator 3.0 with a new beta version of the browser. Beta 6 of Navigator, with the final version of Navigator 3.0 due out later this month, put Netscape virtually in sync with Microsoft, which is planning to post the final version of Internet Explorer 3.0 on the Net on August 13.
Both companies are also preparing administration kits that allow information system managers to customize Web browsers, including adding the ability to block out Java applets and change the browser interface.
Netscape, which plans to release its kit for Navigator 3.0 this month, will charge customers $1,995 for the kit. But Microsoft says it will give away its Internet Explorer Administration Kit 3.0 for free. The Microsoft kit is due this month or early next, according to the company.


Complying with regulatory rules such as Sarbanes-Oxley Act, 2002 (SOX) as well as securely managing people and devices on their networks are an increasing source of frustration and has been described as a nightmare by IT managers of small, mid-size and large enterprises, a senior executive at BMC told siliconrepublic.com.
Tim Dunn, European director for identity management at BMC Software, explained that growing demand for more simplified identity management for people and a growing array of devices such as PDAs, phones and laptops across networks has lead to the company entering into a strategic relationship with Microsoft.
BMC has created a solution offering businesses operating a Microsoft .Net environment streamlined end-to-end identity management addressing many of IT's most pressing identity management needs including work flow, directory management, audit, self-service, password management, web single sign-on and federation. BMC Identity Management for .Net offers customers sizeable cost, time and resource savings by exploiting tools and resources already available in the Microsoft infrastructure. Additionally, the solution leverages the inherent resources and information across heterogeneous IT environments.
Dunn said the partnership marks a joint commitment to the further development of .Net-based identity management solutions as well as joint sales efforts. The new joint solution also provides tools operable in both .Net and heterogeneous environments offering customers greater choice and flexibility in their identity management deployments.
"Firms today are trying to run complex businesses while at the same time face the pressures of regulatory compliance in their day-to-day business as well as opening up their IT environments to customers and suppliers.
"The IT challenge is immense but also from a people perspective it is a huge challenge. The solution we've developed for .Net enables firms to bolster their IT security and at the same time build out to content with new people and new devices.
"Organisations have to open up boundaries in terms of new people and devices. It's the way businesses are running. Catering for regulations such as SOX, as well as auditing risk and policing the IT network are two challenges that are enormous for any organisation. It's a nightmare exacerbated by the threat of millions of euros of fines if a firm breaches regulatory codes.
"The solution we've developed on the .Net platform allows small, mid-size and large firms with Microsoft infrastructures to open out and deal with other infrastructures — in the case of a merger or acquisition — or to cater with the growth of a company in terms of people and devices," Dunn explained.

My Theory on the History of Celebrities in Commercials (The Broadway Edition) Part I
In my 5 questions for Rafael Ferrer, Rafael mentioned an old Paul Masson commercial from the early 80's featuring John Gielgud (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhZv8aIr55k) and the perception that serious actors doing commercials was the virtual "end" of a career. 30 years later, times have changed so dramatically that Matthew McConaughey (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcGhLcVqxf0) is currently driving around in a Lincoln only six months after winning Best Actor. When did the celebrity rush to commercials begin? I'm going to lay out my trajectory on the celeb evolution into commercials but keep in mind… I'm not old enough to know what was happening day to day at the talent agencies prior to the 90's and much of what I'm "throwing out" here is somewhat theoretical (BTW… ask anyone who knows me: I'm always willing to have a theory). Regardless, of all my conjecture and innuendo I think I'm on the right path but if anyone can fill in the gaps, please email and I will annotate it with any interesting notes.
I started in the business in 1992 at Don Buchwald and Associates and at the time, the biggest celeb working in commercials was James Earl Jones who was the on-camera spokes and voice of Bell Atlantic (the Baby Bell precursor to Verizon). At DBA, we didn't represent James Earl but we did rep some fairly well known actors at the time; Stockard Channing, Ed Herrmann, Jane Alexander and Kelsey Grammar (prior to Frasier - the series). What did James Earl and the others have in common? Two things: 1) they spent a lot of time in New York City and 2) they spent a lot of time in New York City because they were on Broadway.
Thus begins the first migration of actors to commercials starting mostly in voice-overs. Madison Avenue was still the epicenter of commercial production at the time and the Broadway actors of the era knew there was a market for their talents. More importantly, they also knew that if they were going to even approximate the lifestyles they left behind doing television and film, they were going to have to do more than Broadway shows. VO was a very easy way to make up those earnings. The job was mostly anonymous, paid fairly well (even at scale), and took very little time. Such Broadway luminaries of the time including Lee Richardson, Len Cariou, John Houseman, Adolph Ceasar, Jose Ferrer, etc. all were performing in commercials (BTW… you probably noticed there are no women on that list… it was the time men dominated).
Around 1990, the major Advertising Agencies started dismissing their casting directors who acted as the ad agency gatekeepers and were the entrée point for all the great Broadway actors. This disruption in the day-to-day business of voice-over casting created several dynamics, which would lead to the demise of the Broadway star in commercials.
Many of the established casting directors would end up sharing offices together in large loft-like spaces with shared waiting rooms. Whereby there was a prior "clubby" feel to auditioning on Madison Avenue suddenly everyone from kids to on-camera types of all sorts were thrown into the same waiting areas and the established voice actors were not happy with the new cattle call like environment. Many let their feelings become evident and soon a backlash evolved against many of these actors and their ""
The recording facilities were almost always rudimentary and the rich sound of these great actors was muddied by inferior microphones and sound quality. No longer could the great subtleties be discerned and the differences between voices became less perceptible.
Whereby creatives often sat in sessions where they could zip between floors, they were less willing to travel and many of the tried and true relationships disappeared between creatives and talent
Creatives began to get significantly younger as ad agencies economics changed and many of the established guard and their relationships to talent were let go and replaced by cheaper younger workers.
To wrap up Part I, as creatives got younger so did their desires for talent. 28 year old producers were intimidated by the older actors and one by one they began seeking out younger talent. The younger talent were also cheaper and it became a selling point that instead of an older talent for a $20,000 guarantee, they could have a younger guy for scale. The younger guys soon dominated the industry and by 1995, 25-35 year old actors Rafael Ferrer, Tony Hoylen, Marcus Lovett, Colter Rule, Zac Fine and David Slavin were the New York commercial prototypes of the decade. Women also were finally getting more opportunities and combination of the new men and women led to the great Broadway actors slowly disappearing from the airwaves. The exceptions? The actors who also enjoyed a robust television career.

The latest hearing in my criminal case took place in Maykop from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 17 of this year. This time, the prosecution's last two witnesses were finally questioned, albeit by a videoconference link with the Soviet District Court in Krasnodar. Vyacheslav Potapov and Vitaly Isayenko were supposed to answer questions about the operations of the website For Krasnodar, on which the article "The Silence of the Lambs" was posted.
It seemed to me that Sergei Shvetsov, senior deputy prosecutor of the Republic of Adygea, was not prepared to examine the witnesses today and the questions he asked them sounded like childish prattle. Even the judge noted this and advised the public prosecutor to concentrate. Ultimately, however, the second public prosecutor, Inessa Orlova from the Maykop City Prosecutor's Office, took the microphone from Shvetsov and asked the witnesses specific questions.
I was personally interested in Isayenko's responses to two sets of questions, first, about the circumstances of his interrogation on December 12, 2014. On that day, after the search [at his house], he was brought from Krasnodar to Maykop and interrogated until evening. It was night when they sent him back home to Krasnodar. As Isayenko, who suffers from Type 1 Diabetes, explained, he spent almost half a day at the Republic of Adygea Investigation Department with no food and, much more dangerously, with no insulin. They gave him only water. And yet they interrogated him intensively, trying to squeeze testimony against me and Vyacheslav Potapov, editor of the website For Krasnodar, from him. I was being interrogated in the next room, and I could hear Senior Investigator Kirill Kustov screaming at him. The stress he underwent and the long period he endured without food and insulin landed Vitaly Isayenko in the hospital the day after his return from Maykop. His diabetes flared up and he suffered from other ailments.
I was also interested in Isayenko's comments, as a computer specialist, on certain statements in the inspection report on the computers seized at Isayenko's house, an inspection carried out by Senior Investigator Kustov on the night of December 12, 2014. In particular, the report states that three processors were discovered in one of the computers. Isayenko explained there had been only one processor in the computer. He did not know nothing about any other processors.
In general, the witnesses said nothing new. They only confirmed what was already contained in the minutes of their interrogations.
After the witnesses were examined, my attorney, Andrei Sabinin, attempted to request that Elizaveta Koltunova, a linguist from Nizhny Novgorod, be examined via videoconference, but the prosecutors objected, and Judge Vitaly Galagan did their bidding. Our request to examine the linguist by videoconferencing was rejected. According to the defense, this stance on the part of the prosecution and the court contradicts the adversarial nature of judicial proceedings and the principle of the equality of arms.
Much more unexpected and even amusing was the procedural action, which took place after lunch, of obtaining handwriting samples and a signature from prosecution witness Mugdin Mossovich Guchetl, a resident of the village of Gabukay. Everything would have been alright if the witness had simply produced his signature in silence, but instead he recalled another circumstance that I think gave the prosecutors a slight shock. Guchetl recalled that in February of last year, when Investigator A.S. Rudenko of the Investigative Department of the Republican Investigative Committee's Teuchezsky District office took Guchetl's written testimony, he asked him to sign blank sheets of paper, because, as Rudenko explained, allegedly, he would later type out Guchetl's handwritten testimony on the computer, but he needed the signatures right away so he would not have to make a return trip to Adygeisk.
Basically, it was for the sake of this passage that the investigator obtained Guchetl's testimony. In fact, the investigator could have written something even rougher on Guchetl's behalf, because he already his signatures on blank interrogation report forms.
Finally, I made a motion to rule the Teuchezhsky District Council an illegitimate injured party in my case, since it did not satisfy the grounds set out in Article 42 of the Russian Federal Criminal Procedure Code. When the prosecutors objected as usual, spouting platitudes about the proper recognition of the local authorities as an injured party, we demanded the prosecution present legal grounds for its stance. We were quite curious to find out how exactly the district council had been injured, if, as they themselves have said, the article had caused moral injury to the residents of the Teuchezhsky District.
The prosecutors drew a blank and requested a time-out until the next hearing, at which they promised to provide a written justification for their objection. That suited us just fine, as it did the judge, who postponed consideration of our motion until next time.
The next court hearing is scheduled for June 24.

The wood floors in your home area looking dingy and you want to have them replaced. Before doing so, why not consider floor sanding? When people are told this, they often ask "what is floor sanding?'. Most wood floors are thick and can be sanded down to provide a nice, new surface area. Furthermore, this process can be repeated multiple times over the life of the floor. Not only does this save the homeowner time and money, but it's also better for the environment as a new floor does not need to be manufactured. Who should be hired to take on bamboo flooring perth ?
Individuals may feel they can tackle this job on their own or have a friend or family member do it for them. This is not a wise move, however. First and foremost, the cost of renting the proper equipment quickly adds up. In addition, there is a learning curve when using a drum sander. Any areas of the floor that are damaged as the result of improper use of the equipment will then need to be replaced, increasing the cost of the project as a result. Finally, the results may not be as desired. floor sanding newcastle could lead to the homeowner needing to hire someone to redo the job. It's best to hire professionals from the start to handle this project.

I use everything in this tackle category as often as I can. I wish I had time to use it more often. I try to buy and use the best fly fishing tackle available, at a reasonable price. I fly fish for smallmouth bass from boats, canoes and kayaks. If I drop a rod and reel overboard, in deep water, I don't want it to be expensive gear. It might be gone forever. I choose Temple Fork Rods because, for the money, I think they perform very well. There are many fly rods made that perform well. I choose TFO on a price/performance/value basis.
I like Orvis' mid-priced reels. I think they offer good value and perform well. Again, there are many choices out there. I just chose the Orvis mid-priced, mid-arbor reels to buy and use. I am very happy with them, and ours are several years old.
I do love the Rio Smallmouth Bass line. I like the way it casts smallmouth bass flies, and the way it behaves in cool or warm water. I've found it doesn't kink when it is hot or have a great memory when it is cold. It works for me and I like it.
I chose to use Orvis leaders and tippet at least 30 years ago. I really can't remember when. There are many brands and many of our customers use those and swear by them. I just started using Orvis at a point in my life, and I've never changed. So, the leaders and tippet you see in this category are both made by Orvis. I use Super Strong when I'm fishing with floating flies. I use Mirage with sinking flies and streamers.
So, here is what I use. This is the tackle I recommend for many reasons.
Little River Outfitters is a fly shop and mail order company located in Townsend, Tennessee, a gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We have been family owned since 1994.

It's been a while since I've created a new page on here. Can you check over Queen Square (Bristol) and beef up the routebox a bit? Ta. User:Ritchie333 (talk) 23:15, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
No problem - I can do that! Steven (talk) 08:33, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
Tipperary County Council
Hi, Steven. Would it be possible to remove from the Tipperary CC trace the old North Tipperary CC / South Tipperary CC dividing line? (The latter two councils were abolished in May 2014.) TIA -- Viator (talk) 13:09, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
Hi Kevin! I'd love to, but the Irish Government haven't published new boundary traces (or at least not that I've found), since the 2011 Irish Census. There's at least one other "new" authority that has the same problem - I'm thinking Wexford? If you can find ESRI Shapefiles later than the 2011 census ones, then please point me in the right direction. If not, then when I get chance I'll have a go at creating one manually. Steven (talk) 16:45, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
Addendum - it's Waterford, not Wexford that has the boundary shown as a combination of the old Waterford County Council and Waterford City Council. I often get the two similar names confused, sorry. Steven (talk) 16:48, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
I had a feeling that might be the case (I'm ignorant of the technicalities of ESRI shapefiles and as to how easily they are amendable, if at all). The only thing I can add to the discussion is that the 2014 boundary changes involved only amalgamations – namely those of
North Tipperary County Council and South Tipperary County Council
Limerick City Council and Limerick County Council
Waterford City County and Waterford County Council
– with no changes to the external boundaries of the new combined entities, so that essentially the only mapping change involved is the removal of three redundant internal boundaries. Doubtless much easier said than done!
I wonder if another proposal that I have would be more easily realizable, though, and that is the lightening of the grey shading -- or perhaps its replacement with a very pale version of the orange that already features in the infobox headings. It's great to have the roads authority areas clearly delineated – and many thanks for your work on that – but I can't help subconsciously feeling, everytime I see that very sombre shade of grey as currently used on each of the maps, that what's being depicted is a Chernobyl-type disaster / exclusion zone...! -- Viator (talk) 18:31, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
I second this concern about the grey - it also obscures somewhat the map inside it. My preference would be clear, but very pale orange also works for me. Si404 (talk) 19:11, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
OK, I'll take these in turn!
The way boundary files work is literally that - they describe the actual boundaries and are georeferenced so as to appear in the correct place. Hence, there isn't a concept of "internal boundary" within the file. Once I worked out that the 2014 Irish council boundary changes were simple amalgamations, all I could do (without the Irish Government publishing up to date boundary files) is to literally take the two boundary files, then export them together into the correct .OSM XML format to show up on SABRE Maps. It's also why the few English councils with "holes" in their juristiction appear oddly - there doesn't seem to be a way of describing a "hole", so all I can do is do the combination trick, which is why, say, Leicestershire County Council has a darker (but clearly different) area where Leicester City Council are the Highway Authority. Whilst it is possible to create your own shapefiles - it's something I've done precisely once and it takes a while to do, so whilst it's on my list as a "nice to have" item, it's not at the top as the correct boundaries are shown, just with the irritating join.
As for the colours, it's something I've looked into, but I haven't figured out how to do it at this point. OSM XML files appear to be appallingly badly documented, and so I've had to look into it by "reverse engineering" some of the road traces to try to work out how it's done. I'm not there yet, but rest assured that I'm not keen on the over-dark grey - I had a much paler colour in mind to allow the map to show through better, and also if possible to allow for transparent areas where "holes" appear. Steven (talk) 19:47, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
Grey - I got it from the new A556 junctions between the M6 and M56/A56
Hello, I've just reverted your revert on the A838 page as I can't see anything wrong with Rob's edits and assumed you clicked the rollback button by accident - happy to discuss if you had meant to do it! C2r (talk) 18:34, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
Oopa! Thank you for fixing it. Steven (talk) 19:44, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
Class III Galleries
Hello, seems we've got two places for these currently, most are under Gallery:Class_III_Roads and then a subgallery for their respective HA - so I'll move those from Gallery:Unclassified C2r (talk) 14:54, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
Sounds like a plan to me! Steven (talk) 14:57, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
Road list template and not(s)
Yes, sorry about my boo-boo re the two "nots" in the Road list template included in the Central Bedfordshire Council article: I should have scrolled down the whole page when reviewing my edit! It's a pity, though, that this was a solution that didn't work, since the highway authority articles are or should be, as I see it, snapshots of the now. A quick check of a few other randomly selected highway authority pages doesn't reveal any articles showing defunct classifications in the lists, so I wonder how this has happened in the case of Central Bedfordshire. I've amended the wording in the article from "are" to "are or were" as a stopgap solution for now. -- Viator (talk) 10:59, 29 March 2018 (BST)
That's because the road article is incorrect. Defunct roads don't exist as a live road, so don't have a Highway Authority currently managing them, so should have that field empty, which will then fix the problem on the HA article. Steven (talk) 11:13, 29 March 2018 (BST)
Ah, ça s'explique alors! Merci, Steven.
Not sure I agree with you about the "administrative county" question you raised in your edit comment concerning Central Beds (I've hitherto used https://www.gazetteer.org.uk/lamap.php as my main reference point) but I'll leave that argument for another day! -- Viator (talk) 11:19, 29 March 2018 (BST)
That map is interesting. All references to "unitary district" or "unitary county" are in quotes as they are made up terms to describe legal arrangements on this map that excellently shows the de jure differences between single-tier councils (or "unitary authorities" in common jargon) despite there not being any de facto differences. It's a shame they only apply 'administrative county' (itself a made up term) to 2-tier councils as that is not true - eg Central Bedfordshire is a non-metropolitan county. Si404 (talk) 12:16, 29 March 2018 (BST)
Market Deeping Bypass Bridge
You expressed a doubt about the name of the bridge, but I'm struggling to think why??
Bearing in mind this was a new-build Bridge, it simply did not exist before 1998. If it didn't have this name, presumably it would have no name at all. As far as I'm aware, it's never taken the name of the adjacent Welland Gate Roundabout. Berk (talk) 23:56, 29 August 2018 (BST)
Perhaps it doesn't have a name at all - the page exists with no references for a bridge that is pretty much entirely without note and the 'name' to be a description of what it is, rather than anything of note. C2r (talk) 00:41, 30 August 2018 (BST)
That's exactly why - is its name actually "Market Deeping Bypass Bridge", or is it a bridge without a name - which isn't at all unusual. If no-one can be bothered to give it a real live name, then it's not notable and the article needs to go. If we've made up the name via a descriptive term, then it needs to go as well for that reason. Steven (talk) 08:14, 30 August 2018 (BST)
Unless of course there was some other reason for it to be notable, even if it didn't have a name, but this bridge is so bland you can hardly even notice it on GSV C2r (talk) 09:26, 30 August 2018 (BST)
Market Deeping Bridge
And the same here, too. This time, I can say it is sometimes, or more often known as Town Bridge, Market Deeping. Berk (talk) 23:58, 29 August 2018 (BST)
In this case, we need to get the name changed to the proper name! Thanks for finding that out. Steven (talk) 08:09, 30 August 2018 (BST)
former highway authorities
Evening, Would you like me to alter the Highway Authority template to allow for former ones? Or are we simply going to redirect the pages in the end? Given the choice, I think I'd opt to maintain a history rather than redirect (i.e. to have a former authority flag), but of course there are other editorial methods of doing this as well.... Any thoughts? C2r (talk) 19:03, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
TBH, I'm not sure what to do with the Bournemouth and Poole Council pages. And of course, technically Dorset County Council is also being abolished and a new authority (now called just Dorset Council) is being set up, but given how we name pages, that's not to be worried about.
Once the new authority is in place, what would we have left on the old pages - would it be any more than "Bournemouth Council looked after the roads in Bournmouth between XXXX and April 2019"? Steven (talk) 20:52, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
Yes, something like that; it would also retain its historic galleries to avoid us needing to move images and logos - of course, things become more interesting with the Class III roads - does the new authority renumber them? If not, what about duplicates? If they're already unique, do we move them? or do we defunct them under the old LA and recreate under the new LA? Of course, we've not got very far with Dorset anyway yet, so perhaps it doesn't matter at all! I hate local government boundary review ;) C2r (talk) 01:26, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
Four Ashes Junction
Are you sure the signalised junction was created in the 1970s? I distinctly remember it being an uncontrolled crossroads before the speed limit was reduced to 60 and I'm sure the lights at Standeford was also uncontrolled. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truvelo (talk • contribs) 19:56, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
Yes, you're right - serves me right typing quickly before eating! They were put in at both Four Ashes and Standeford in 2006 - fortunately I've found a post of mine on here from back then! Steven (talk) 20:21, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
Adding NOCACHE magic word to the auto generated page has done the trick - I think it would have updated by itself, given time - however, NOCACHE forces it to requery on load. C2r (talk) 11:03, 2 April 2020 (BST)
Aha! I was looking through the code and just couldn't see why, but when it wasn't updating overnight that just bemused me even more. Steven (talk) 11:24, 2 April 2020 (BST)
It's a 'feature' of dpl3 - I'm not sure why it didn't do it overnight though.... I've added it to a couple of templates, like the gallery ones C2r (talk) 11:54, 2 April 2020 (BST)
Great, thanks! Looking through the list, it's amazing how far Maps has come since last time I went through Wiki:Defunct roads without a map. Other than the occasional tiny road in a town centre, almost all the other "Roads x 10" roads that existed within the realms of map reuse now have some form of labelled mapping on Maps!

Don't panic! With some planning and creativity, you can come up with fun ideas your kids can do (and you can participate too!) to keep them interested and happy.
Host a read-in party: Invite your child's friends over for a book reading. Set out cushions, some snacks and encourage the kids to read their favorite books and talk with each other about why they like them.
Have your kids produce their own movie: Kids today are amazingly tech savvy and with free apps like Action Movie FX and Stop Motion Studio, your own cell phone can become a professional film camera. Let them take video running outside, playing with the dog or chronicle daily life in your household. Let them edit and add sound effects, then have a screening party for the family.
Have a box challenge: Pick up boxes from a grocery store or big-box retailer. Challenge your kids to come up with the most original creation. You'll be amazed how much your kids will be entertained designing cars, houses and forts!
Prep the next generation of chefs: Encourage your child to pick an easy recipe that sounds appealing. Go the grocery store to pick out ingredients and then prepare it together.
Library: The library is a great resource not only for free books, movies and music, but also for great year-round activities. Area libraries often host author visits, sing-alongs, art classes and more! Check out the Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties library pages.
Parks: Check out local parks for playgrounds, events, hiking trails and splash pads for free fun.
Outdoor movies: Central Florida is full of free outdoor movies. Check out the listings for upcoming showings near you.
Orlando Moms: From budget-friendly cooking tips to summer educational activities, this blog is a great resource for anyone with children.
PagingFunMums: Not specific to Central Florida, this site is terrific for anyone looking for fun ways to keep kids learning. Our favorite post is "20+ At home Science Projects".
SeaWorld Mommy: This blog has information and reviews about local attractions and events.

The Children's Dental Education and Fluoride Varnish Project Offers Preventative Care to Local Students Michelle Lawton remembers vividly the moment she became a dental care advocate—she had been working as a dental assistant at a local practice when a patient found out she needed over $7,000 worth of dental care and started to cry.
It's the focus on prevention instead of intervention, a key tenant of the United Way philosophy, which caused Lawton and her friend Julie Michael, Executive Director for the Dental Care Access Foundation, to work with Heart of Florida United Way to develop the Children's Dental Education and Fluoride Varnish project which is funded through the United Way's health focus area.
In its second year of operation, the Varnish project has served approximately 4,000 students; 1,100 which were funded by United Way. As a result, more of the students are getting appropriate dental care and are missing less school due to tooth-related problems or pain. As part of this initiative, Michelle and Julie have partnered with Valencia Dental Hygiene students and the UCF Pre-Dental Student Association to go directly to Orange County Public Schools. Through the program, they offer one-on-one dental education, where they teach proper dental hygiene, brushing tutorials, and nutrition information.Each child is also provided with an age-appropriate dental hygiene kit, including a toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss.
Afterwards, they then apply a topical fluoride varnish to help prevent cavities from developing. Michelle and Julie also help families navigate the healthcare system and explore their options. If during the consultations larger problems are discovered, they can refer families to low-cost clinics and community health centers for treatment. This program is a huge change for students. The varnish can be applied in a matter of seconds and the one-on-one sessions serve as a gentle introduction to the dentist.
With a laid-back approach and appearances from the UCF Pre-Dental program mascot Timmy the Tooth, the kids learn the dentist is not something to be scared of.
