Conservatives give a lot of lip service to the Constitution, but too few actually read it or know what it says. While many focus on the admittedly important Bill of Rights, the meat of the Constitution outlines the basic functions of government, including the checks and balances designed to keep tyranny from America's door. It is respect for these checks and balances that has driven some lawmakers to launch the Article I Project, an initiative aimed at restoring the separation of powers and using Congress to rein in the excesses of the executive branch.
The regulatory state has grown into the fourth branch of government. Executive branch agencies act with impunity, without accountability to Congress or to the voters. The Secretaries of Education, Energy, and Health and Human Services are basically unelected lawmakers who have the power to dramatically affect the lives and prosperity of every American citizen.

is there any other way i can achieve sql script execution after oracle container up and running?

A: From what I see I suspect that you just need to add
@path_to_sql_script into your ./docker/oracle/oracle-scripts.sql.
But I'd suggest to use official Oracle images. In this case you could just mount your directory with sql scripts into as /opt/oracle/scripts/startup and configurations scripts as /opt/oracle/scripts/setup.

A: Depending on your needs, you can customize your Oracle DB image and add a directory for start-up scripts by yourself.
Usually, a Docker image with a database has some bash script file that runs commands on the container startup. One can edit this script and add literally any logic to it by following steps below:

*

*Run a container from the image

*Poc around inside the container and find the script mentioned above. Most likely you will find a hint for script name and location in the container logs.

*Copy this script to PC, add custom logic.

*Create Dockerfile which uses the original image as a base, and in COPY instruction specify a command to copy the edited script into the image.

*Build a new image using created Dockerfile.

*Spin container from the newly built image.

You can follow this tutorial for customaizing Oracle database-enterprise:12.2.0.1 image.

Eight of our staff members have volunteered to take part in the 10k Great Scottish Run on 2nd October.
They have generously decided to do this to raise money for our company charity – Ronald McDonald House in Glasgow.
This charity provides amazing support for families while their children undergo cardiac, transplant or cancer treatment in hospital.
The Ronald McDonald House needs £400,000 a year to run the facilities and services to support the families as they do not receive any funding; they only exist through fundraising and private donations.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could make a donation to this outstanding cause. We have therefore provided the link below to our 'Just Giving Page'.


I'm a sincere guy who really just wants to do Hashem's well. Like most men, I have a daily battle with my yetzer hora. Mostly it's about fantasies, and letting my mind wander into the wrong places. Sometimes, it creeps into my behavior, like when I've just viewed a perfectly innocent and inspiring nature video on YouTube, and then I start scrolling through the "suggested" videos, just in case there's something "interesting" there. Or if I want to "test" my Internet filter, or 613Tube, to see if they successfully block this innocuous-not-innocuous search string. And on a couple of not so memorable occasions, I've even clicked on things I really shouldn't have, rationalizing whatever nonsense I rationalized.
I hate that I have this daily battle. It distracts me during davening, it prevents me from sleeping, and I feel it diminishes my spiritual level, because I don't always win.
"Yetzer, I know what you want. You want to feast your eyes on forbidden things. And on the way to that, you try to get me to sneak little peeks, and dwell on fantasies. I, on the other hand, want to remain squeaky clean, at least until after Sukkos. So here's the deal. You leave me alone, and don't try to make me indulge in these sneaky things, and if you're good, I'll give you 24 hours of guilt-free viewing whatever you want. After that, we'll renegotiate. But if you violate the deal, I will reset the clock, and you'll have to wait another 3 months to get your fix."
Seems a crazy deal, no? Totally crazy. But I said to myself, I'm not bound to it; you can't make a deal that violates the Torah, and come the end of Tishrei, I'll be perfectly happy to double-cross him, considering how many times he's got me into trouble in the past.
Nonetheless, even though my yetzer knows what I'm thinking, he has been on his oh-so-very-best behavior. For nearly six weeks now, I have been totally, squeaky clean. My tefilla has been more focused and I feel much more connected with Hashem. And, perhaps most importantly, I haven't been feeling the urge to view forbidden things nearly as strongly. So maybe, I'm hoping, by the time the deal falls due, my yetzer will be so weak and emaciated that he won't have the strength to claim his dues. But still, I've been worried. Come the due date, and I know there will be a big test waiting for me.
...and then I lit up. Well, heck, why isn't that good enough to break the deal over? He misbehaved, he broke the deal, and even though normally I'm an easy-going guy, tolerant of other people's mistakes, I see no reason to give this menuval any latitude. And so, the clock has now been reset to three months' time, giving me an extra six weeks of him not pestering me. And I've shown him that I'm serious about enforcing my terms, so this time he knows I mean business, and hopefully, he'll be on even better behavior than before.
What will be in three months' time? I don't know, but so far, I figure I'm ahead of the game. I've gained relief from the constant buzz of my yetzer trying to tempt me into hirhurim and minor infractions, which is giving me the space to strengthen myself spiritually as we approach the Yomim Noraim. And the beauty of this deal is that even if I lose by slipping up in minor infractions, I win by pushing off the major infractions. And hopefully, by the time I win completely, I'll be so disciplined that I won't end up losing.
Feel free to share my story with your readers, though I'll understand if you think it's the wrong message!


And right up the cheery path.
Of all the family love.
And noses we would tweak.
While we prepared the food.
To rest her tired feet.
Until the table looked complete.
And all His love outpoured.
To lay down their sleepy heads.
For you and I right here.
the love of God imparts.
"Christmas Is Calling You Home"
someone who is far away is wishing you were there.
someone's heart is longing just to see you smile.
no matter how far you have roamed.
Home, someplace where you belong.

Baby Elephant Dies At Ringling Bros. Breeding Center
POLK CITY, FL – Mike, the youngest elephant resident at Ringling Bros. & Barnum Bailey Center for Elephant Conservation (a breeding center) in Polk City, has died from the elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV).
Final necropsy results are in progress, but officials preliminary results along with blood tests suggest that the virus was the cause of death.
Dr. Ashley Settles, the director of Ringling Bros. veterinary care: "No one knows why the virus manifests this way in some elephants, since most elephants harbor the virus and never become ill. Mike only began to show the slightest of symptoms on Saturday and was eating and drinking well as late as Sunday afternoon, but the illness progressed very rapidly. As soon as symptoms began we started treating him, but by Monday morning there was nothing more anyone could do to prevent his passing."
The elephant was born at the breeding center on June 27, 2013 to parents also born there. Mike was the first elephant to die of EEHV at the center, which has experienced 26 endangered Asian elephant births since 1995.
The Center for Elephant Conservation (CEC) is a 200-acre breeding farm and retirement facility for elephants that is sponsored by Feld Entertainment, the holding company and owner of Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus. The CEC is the largest Asian elephant gene pool outside of Southeast Asia. The center failed a USDA inspection under the Animal Welfare Act due to its restraint policy in 1999. At least one case of TB was noted during the inspection.

This is my first blog entry. Ever. Thought it would make the most sense to begin with my favorite person in the world. My boy. Here are some photos that we shot yesterday. When people learn that I am a photographer, they said "you must have the most incredible photos of him". I do have some cool ones, but they are candids, and must be grabbed when he isn't aware. Otherwise he will make a silly face. Or roll his eyes and say "Mommy…..". Like "please stop stalking me with that camera".
A friend told me once that once a child loses his front teeth, the shape of their face can completely change. He has lost a few of his but not the top two. But they have been loose. Very lose. I told him that I crazy glue them at night while he is sleeping because I cannot bear the thought of his little face changing on me. But I knew that the clock was ticking. So, after some bribery, he agreed to this 30 minute session with me. And oddly enough, less then one hour post-session, the front tooth came out.
I absolutely loves these pics. My favorite one of Mateo is the one with him kneeling down. My favorite of yours is the phone you posted on the homepage.

Overlooking from the high steps of the spectacular Prema Sarovar, we gather to commence another day of meditations together. Maharaj begins with an ecstatic explosion of kirtan that gets all the devotees on their feet. It comes to a close, or so it appears, till Maharaj starts round two; such nectar!
As we all gaze around to appreciate the beauty of Prema Sarovar, Maharaj comically reminds us, "This beautiful architecture is connected with the land of Krsna, totally perfect for a Facebook profile photo!" Maharaj commences our reflections for the day by reminding us of the origins of Prema Sarovar, one that was created by separation, separation from Krsna (viraha bhava), "When you feel separation from Krsna, this is supposed to be the highest feeling, but how? Separation isn't fun?" Maharaj continues that this is because when we are separated from Krsna, we are constantly thinking of Him, chanting His holy name, and through that He is present with us, giving us that nectar we are always craving. So, Maharaj neatly summarises how separation on the spiritual platform leads to remembrance, which thereby leads to the highest form of ecstasy!
We move on to the story of an opportune bumblebee, who at the sight of Radha and Krsna decides to circumambulate them three times. When Madhumangala offers his assistance in shoo-ing the bumblebee away, he celebrates by informing the divine couple, "This Madhusudhana is gone!" Mistaking the bumblebee (Madhu-sudhana) for Krsna (killer of the demon, Madhu), a disturbed Radharani lets a sea of tears to flow from her eyes at the thought of separation from Krsna. Upon seeing Radharani in such an emotional state, streams of tears also started to flow from Krsna's eyes. These transcendental tears being a product of intense separation and love then formed the first waters of Prema Sarovar, following which all the holy rivers attended a pilgrimage to Prema Sarovar to purify themselves, further adding to these holy waters.
Maharaj introduces our theme for Prema Sarovar, being that Krsna is the best friend of all living entities. He continues that Krsna, being omniscient, is always present for his devotees, whether it is Radharani or a bumblebee. He never forgets His devotees, knowing our deepest desires and thoughts, he seeks to fulfil them, and is constantly looking to offer a path for us conditioned souls to return back to Him. So, we meditate on our individual relationships with Krsna and reflect on how close we truly are with Him. He is available to us. He understands our ordeals, regardless of how mundane they might be. He offers us a shelter. He cares for us.
Maharaj then brings together all the devotees in this year's Vraj Parikrama, all 140 of us, to capture an iconic moment together on the steps of the Prema Sarovar. This causes us to remember that while we all originate from different countries and come from different walks of life, our hearts beat as one and we share a common purpose moving forward, to capture Krsna as our best friend. So, in this way the culture of the spiritual world manifests itself in the dhama and within our movement.
A picturesque walk across the fields of Ter Kabamba where Krsna used to herd his cows, leads us to a sarovar behind the temple where we are first welcomed by a large black snake who crosses our path. We spread out the mats under the scorching sun and some technical difficulties later, we are all ready to begin our final meditations for the day.
Maharaj provides that it is understood that Srila Rupa Goswami wrote his Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu and proceeds to read about this book. He emphasises the need to steadily grow through devotional service and how material happiness means nothing to a Krsna conscious person. Some more pearls are passed on by Maharaj about the proper execution of devotional service through our senses. Shortly after, we were graced by a local baba to a skit and some prasadam, following which we walked back across the fields in one queue, with harinama along the way and meditations back to Vrindavan.
What is reality and what is the dream?


Lamar+Nik are a design oriented director duo. They maintain a strange European popularity that even they can't explain. From melting down sets made of ice, one-takes, handmade props, and practical effects, it's hard to pin them down.


I love Tom Colicchio, and probably always will. Tom and his restaurant Gramercy Tavern were both very pivotal in my transmutation from a guy who loved food and wine, to a guy who may think about food and wine a little too much. "Think Like a Chef" was the first cookbook I ever read cover to cover like a novel, and while I was doing it I would lunch at Gramercy, allowing me to get a real feel for what I would be doing at home later on.
Tom also commands my adoration because he has done a good deal to draw attention to the better quality of food from local green markets. Tom is an ardent advocate that the best way to elevate the quality of your food is to elevate the quality of your ingredients. Rather than preaching about local, small grown product being karmically better for the next generation and us in every way (which seems obvious, yet few seem to care) he has simply made the case that, in their season, all foods taste better so why even try to eat them out of season.
I do not love Craft, and that is probably Tom's fault. Although all the food I have ever had at Craft has been truly exceptional, the idea makes little sense to me. The truth is, thanks in a large part to Tom, I am a pretty good cook now. I consider meal preparation a great way to pass time, searching out great ingredients and taking the time to properly roast, braise, or whatever them. I know for a vast group of people this is not true but, since it is for me, when I go to a restaurant I go to see what imaginative new things the chef is doing or pairing, looking for that inspiration rather than obliging them to simply be better at cooking than I. So a restaurant whose mission is "we will cook it perfectly, you decide how to put it together," just isn't my idea of fun. I go to a restaurant to completely put myself in the chef's hands.
Last night Craft Steak opened to the public, so again I found myself eating from the hands of Chef Colicchio. It is in that part of town I used to call Chelsea but now call No-Such-Thing since restaurants publicists like to call it No-Meat (although at this point it may be Juggernautonia) on the Del Posto side of 10th Avenue at 15th street. I really appreciated the design; it is just a very cool, very big room. What I am sure would be called banquettes are really more moon-shaped couches with a great line. Separating the bar from the dining room is a glass wine hall. There are very sleek individual steel pipes with softened white cylindrical lights which are grouped to make chandeliers. Everything sleekly flows to a huge mural of the block you are on, painted from a bird's-eye view.
I feel at this point it is important to make a difference between a steak house (chop shop), and steak restaurant (meat-focused fare). Steak houses do one thing perfectly, and usually tend to do nothing else well (think Luger's watery, huge shrimp or crunchy tomatoes that taste like plastic till you pour a catsup-based sauce on them. Really. Catsup. On a tomato. Say that out loud and think about it). A steak restaurant is more like a seafood restaurant. They make various dishes in various preparations of a similar origin. Waiters in a steak house do their job well when they keep you from making the huge mistake of ordering the non-house special; waiters in a steak restaurant help you choose wine and are aware that there are at least four more preparations for spinach than creamed.
The staff looked great in their first-night crisp peppermint-striped shirts under black vests with ties. It is probably more a testament to our server's talent than anything else, but when I think back on the room I think of dimness though when I recall Allison she is well lit. Either she really was as enthusiastic to be up and running as she seemed, or the adroit design has taken focused area lighting to new levels.
Steak is the opportunity to drink Bordeaux, an opportunity I tend to like to take advantage of. My companion this eve was Fittsdoola. He and I had taken ownership of some '95 Pichon Baron earlier this year and we concur that it is a nice Claret and were therefore very happy to see it on the menu. We were a little upset to see it priced $180 in view of the fact that we picked up ours through very traditional retail methods for $60 a bottle in the last fiscal quarter, making this skewed to the very high side of what is a fair price. But, traditionally, steak houses are part of the reason wine is so overpriced, it was their first night, and we really wanted to drink it. So we bought it, but agreed that going forward we would look past that one for more appropriately-priced wines, or just drink drafts of Sweet Action, possibly the best named beer in a long time. The Baron drank very well, with raspberries dominating the standard Left Bank profile. Fittsdoola felt it was almost Rhone-ish in its cinnamon and earth notes, perfect with the ensuing meal.
No food service is more à la carte then steak, and therefore what is lost on me at Craft is genius at Craftsteak. A huge selection of raw bar items in various preparations, as well as meat selections that favor charcuterie, and eight cold vegetable preparations called salads, combine with lobster bisque to be your available starters. We decided to leave sampling these for later, in the interest of keeping things fresh, to concentrate on the restaurant's real focus: steaks.
Being an inaugural run, we had popped in assuming it would be hard to get a seat and planned a short sortie just to taste some food at the bar, so we focused our eating on the right two-thirds of Craftsteak's menu, the mains and sides. The steaks are all sourced, meaning you can choose from five origins. Within these parameters you can choose cuts in the case of the Corn-fed Black Angus beef, the Corn- fed Hereford beef, the Hawaiian Grass-fed Angus Beef, and the Snake River Farm Wagyu Beef, or length of aging in the case of the Ridgefield Farm Corn-fed Premium Hereford Beef. If you are with a curious epicure and someone to share with, as I was, this menu is a dream. At first we discussed getting one Ridgefield strip aged forty-two days and one aged fifty-four. We also discussed the Hereford porterhouse, before settling on the thirty-five day Ridgefield strip and the strip from Hawaii. We plan return next time for the aging vertical of Ridgefield; Craftsteak may thrive as a result of comparison eating.
The truth is feeding cows corn is one of the cruelest things we do to animals in order to make them more appealing to diners. (It is far worse than foie. While ducks would naturally eat grains to fatten their livers to some point, no cow would eat a non-green item. It is literally poison to them). But I don't base my distaste for it on that, that would be hypocritical. I disagree with general corn-feeding of cows because it so bad for their health that, when done on a large scale, they need to be heavily dosed with antibiotics to keep them alive, and that is not good for us, plus most corn feeding is done because it is cheap and easier with no direction of flavor in mind. Cutting corners in the food supply is never something I support. However, on a small-scale farm done well and carefully it truly can make better tasting food and that I like.
So here we were with an aged corn-fed strip steak and a grass-fed strip, cooked at the same time by the same guy, with which to compare the merits of one to the other. Because of this opportunity alone I will forever have a warm spot in my heart for Craftsteak. Both were served medium rare, sliced off the bone and then again sliced thinly across the grain in a hot dish with tarragon, chopped chives, and a roasted shallot as garnish. Both were also roasted as opposed to grilled, which I imagine will always keep Craftsteak a restaurant about meat rather than a respected steak place. Although the roasting plays more to subtle nuance of taste, the truly great steaks are grilled in my experience.
As far as appearance, the grass-fed is more lean and redder; the corn-fed aged is almost whiter than red taking on an almost blue cast. As far as texture, the Wustoff steak knives are so sharp we really couldn't judge until we were chewing. In the mouth, the corn-fed is far softer; the grass-fed is more resilient than tough. As far as flavor and aroma, the corn-fed is rich, you actually feel yourself eating it more than tasting it The grass-fed is far more flavorful. Eating it was like tasting wine (by the way, we both agreed that the wine was far better with the grass-fed; the corn fed would have wanted a monster, would maybe even justify a Cali cab), there was a point where the flavor was so mineraly and saline that we decided it was most comparable to a fish like cod. Truly fun to contemplate.
In the beginning, we agreed that we probably preferred the corn-fed to the grass. It was just so luxuriant. Later, we felt the grass was probably more preferable because the fun of the dinner was in the contemplation of sensations, which the grass-fed just offered more of an opportunity for. In the long run, there was some corn-fed left and no grass so we decided the proof was in the lack of pudding, and went Hawaiian.
Roasted Asparagus, aggressively salted and peppered with great black bits from roasting, it was dressed in olive oil and had great crunch. I enjoyed it as did Fittsdoola, who claims not to usually.
Fried Zucchini Blossoms, the flower was batter-dipped and the baby zucchini attached wasn't. Good bite, again well-salted and peppered. I may have preferred the vegetable to its petals, something that seldom happens when comparing battered and not.
Roasted Potato and Garlic Gratin, good ones are good, bad ones are bad. This is a good one.
Craftsteak seems to me poised to succeed where others have failed, as a steak restaurant in a town of steak houses. Those that compare it to great chop shops will probably be upset Craftsteak is a place for people that want to engage in dining not be steered through the motions. People that want to ponder while eating, not be fed. There is little doubt that great steak is a thing many people love and, as a rule, they love it simple. However this does not, mean that everyone wants a great, simple steak at the cost of a good room, good service, and good accompaniments. They just want the steak to be the most cared about component. On a cursory visit, I think this may be that place.
But I'll need about 6 more jobs to be able to fill your food and bar tab.
Thanks for the compliment Mike. As far as another job or five all you have to do is give up things like cars, clothes, TVs and stereos. If you can live well with all those things being at least 5 or so years old, you can eat like I do on one low paying job I'm living proof.

3 Convicted Killers Who Are Now Free
Astrid McClymont
Astrid graduated with a Bsc Hons in Criminology and Psychological Studies in 2017 and currently works as a professional ghostwriter.
In an era when interest in serial killers is growing by the day, we seek to learn everything we can about the most well-known killers—especially with new shows arriving on Netflix almost weekly to give us our true crime fix. But what if I told you that some of the most violent, reprehensible killers to walk the Earth have not only been released, but are free right now?
Warning: Please do not read any further if you find depictions of violence distressing.
Issei Sagawa
1. Issei Sagawa
Issei Sagawa, otherwise known as the Kobe Cannibal, killed Dutch student Renee Hartevelt in 1981. After luring her into his apartment in Paris by asking her to give him German lessons, he then shot her in the back of the neck and raped her. Shockingly, he then removed 15 lbs of her flesh and ate her.
For the young Sagawa, cannibalism had been a fantasy gnawing at the back of his mind since he was a child. Although we don't know why he harboured such a dark fantasy, we do know he began to fixate on the idea of eating a person when he was still very young. He would dream about being boiled alive inside an enormous cauldron along with his brother, and he was heavily inspired by the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty. However, his take on the story most likely doesn't match our own. In Sagawa's fantasies, he saw the titular character as a supernatural being, a beautiful women he could eat in order to show how much he loved her.
Sagawa being led from the apartment in which he killed Renee.
Despite recalling this fantasy with a psychotherapist, the urge to kill and eat a human being grew until the thought eclipsed all others. He even said in later years that "I was determined to eat someone before I was too old, before my passion died out."
After the killing of Renee, Sagawa admitted everything. Most disturbingly to those around him, he recounted his evening with the student in a cool monotone that was devoid of remorse. He said, unflinchingly, "I killed her and I ate her flesh."
So it would seem it was an open and shut case. Sagawa would spend the rest of his life in prison, right? Well, not quite. A French judge would go on to rule the young student as clinically insane and therefore not fit to stand trial. He was then deported back to Japan and committed to a mental health ward where he remained until the authorities cast judgement on what to do with him.
Renee Hartevelt
In a spectacular turn of events, because French authorities were not able to turn over their case documents to the Japanese police, Sagawa was not able to be legally detained. This meant he could freely discharge himself from hospital and walk out a free man.
To this day, the Kobe Cannibal is still free and has become quite a cult icon and celebrity in Japan. Not only has he appeared in talk shows, but he has also performed roles in exploitation movies, authored numerous books, and has even contributed some restaurant reviews to Japanese magazine Spa.
Pedro Alonso Lopez
2. Pedro Alonso Lopez
Also known as the Monster of the Andes, Pedro Alonso Lopez is one of the most terrifying serial killers ever known. Born in 1948 to a prostitute mother named Benilda, he was the seventh of 13 children. Frequently, while growing up, the young boy was exposed to his mother's job, which unsurprisingly had a highly damaging effect on his psychological development. When he was eight years old, Lopez was discovered by his mother to be sexually assaulting his sister. He was immediately ordered to leave the house.
With nowhere to go, the young boy drifted toward the capital of Bogota, where his life would only get more tragic and depraved. On the streets, he would become the victim of sexual abuse and violence. By the time he was 18, he had grown into a hardened criminal.
However, murder wouldn't enter his repertoire of crimes until his first spell in prison after he was arrested for stealing cars and selling them to chop shops. While in prison, he was reportedly gang raped and made a vow to himself to enact revenge on his attackers. He hunted down each of his rapists and murdered them while still in prison.
Another photo of Lopez.
This turn of events would set him on a deadly path that would see him traveling over borders and committing dozens of murders. By 1978, he claimed to have killed over 100 Peruvian girls before entering Colombia and then Ecuador. Horrifically, he is estimated to have murdered an average of three girls a week.
However, it wasn't until he was caught trying to abduct a young girl that he was finally arrested. And he was eager to confess to his crimes, telling the police he had killed up to 300 people. The police, not believing him, were keen to dismiss his claims. That was until a flash flood dislodged the mass grave he had dug for his victims.
He remained in prison in Ecuador until 1994 before being arrested an hour later by Colombian authorities. However, he was not to be imprisoned again. Instead, he was declared insane and was instead committed to a mental hospital. Horrifyingly, he was released in 1998 on $50 bail and has remained free ever since. Currently, his location is unknown.
Louis van Schoor
3. Sybrand Jacobus Lodewikus "Louis" van Schoor
Known in the South African media as the Apartheid Killer, Louis is suspected for shooting and killing 39 people. However, when interviewed by the press, he claimed to have murdered over 100 victims. The murders took place when the former policeman was hired as a security guard. When burglars entered the premises, tripping the silent alarm, he would immediately fire his 9mm pistol at them.
What is significant about his killings is that the great majority of his victims were black males. This led to the public assuming his crimes were racially motivated. However, Louis strongly denies this, saying, "It was nothing to do with race. I was purely protecting people's property."
Regardless of his motives, Louis found himself in jail. However, he was only convicted of nine killings and was sentenced to 20 years. However, he was released on parole after just 12 years due to displaying leadership qualities and behaving like an "exemplary prisoner."
Right now, he is a free man, but will he kill again? It appears from his statements that his experience in the South African police had numbed him somewhat to the violence he both experienced and perpetrated. He has said, "The time I spent in the police made me used to shooting and killing."
Whether or not his former career helped facilitate his passion for murder, we will never know. What we do know is that he now claims to be remorseful for what he has done. He has even gone as far as to contact the family of his victims to apologize. Furthermore, he even contacted the media to make a public apology. He said, "I apologised for the pain, suffering my actions caused them. I meant this sincerely."
Now a free man, he asks the public to not judge him for his past. This is not a task that will be easy for people.

Q: Do browsers remove whitespace in between text of any html tag Here is a fiddle demonstrating the problem
http://jsfiddle.net/WM8XW/
I have inserted many whitespace in the content of the label tag but the html rendered seems to remove it. Is adding   only solution to the above problem
HTML Content
<label>label with very          long white space in between</label>

A: Browsers usually treat multiple consecutive spaces and/or carriage returns as a single space. In the case of non-breaking spaces (  or  ) browsers will typically honor multiple consecutive occurrences as-is with no collapsing to a single space.
Solution1:
You can hard code the (  or  ) as much as you want.
Reference
Any text between the opening <pre> tag and the closing </pre> tag will preserve the formatting of the source document.
Solution2:
You can make use of <pre> tag.
Reference
If you want to execute with css also you can perform the same the above answers are only from html
point of view

A: The normal behavior for the display of whitespaces is to compress them into a single one, which is then displayed.
There are two exceptions from that:

*

*The <pre> tag, which keeps the whitespaces as entered.

*Setting the CSS property white-space: pre; (respectively pre-wrap or pre-line)

A: Yes multiple white spaces are converted to one white space by browser. Your only option is to have hard space ie.

US Navy awards MK 110 SDC contract
Integrated Combat Systems, a subsidiary of Orbit International, has been awarded a follow-on contract by the US Navy Procurement Agency to provide MK 110 Signal Data Converter (SDC).
As a major configuration component of the Gun Computer System (GCS) MK 160 Mod, MK 110 SDC features custom fabricated enclosures, commercial-off-the-shelf and non-developmental items components.
Designed to meet the US Navy operational systems requirements, the SDC will be integrated with 5"/54 MK-45 gun mount systems on-board DDG 51-78 Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers, as part of the Aegis modernisation programme.
ICS's Director of Engineering and Logistics Julie McDearman said, "The MK 110 SDC is the AEGIS Modernization Program's version of the MK 119 GCSC that ICS has been supplying to the U.S. Navy since 2001."
Orbit International President and CEO Mitchell Binder said, "Our backlog at March 31, 2012 was in excess of $21.1 million and this MK 110 SDC order should further increase backlog at April 30, 2012."
The latest $5.75m contract follows the previously awarded US Navy contract, valued at approximately $1,050,000, while additional contracts are expected to be awarded in 2012 and 2013.
Deliveries under the contract are scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2012 and will run through the end of 2013.
Northrop Grumman and General Dynamics have received contract for the construction of 28 Arleigh Burke-class Aegis destroyers in two categories namely Flight I (DDG51-DDG71) and Flight II (DDG72-DDG78).

Although the author of John is not identified by name, tradition holds that it was the apostle John. Read John 21:20-25 and note how the author identifies himself. You might want to put this reference or information under "Author" on the John at a Glance chart.
To understand the propose of John read John 20:30-31. Record this on Structure of John . Keep John's purpose in mind as you study this Gospel.
Carefully read this segment chapter by chapter, observing what the author includes to accomplish his purpose.
2. Write the key words on an index card and mark them in the same way you mark them in your Bible. Use this as a bookmark.
3. Also mark any other repeated key words that are pertinent to the message of the chapter.
As you read each of the first 12 chapter, ask the "5 W's and H": Who? What? Where? When? Why? and How? Observe the events and the people.
Events: What is happening? For example, "Nicodemus come to Jesus by night."
Geographic locations: Where is this event taking place? For example, John was baptizing at Bethany beyond the Jordan. Double-underline in green all geographical locations.
Time of events: When is this event taking place? For example, "on the third day," or before the Feast of the Passover." Mark time phrases with a green clock. When Jesus attends a feast, put a clock in the margin and write the name of the feast.
Portrayals of Jesus Christ: How is Jesus picture or described? For example: "the Word," "the Lamb of God," etc. You may want to note this in the margin.
Signs and Miracles: The signs John recorded were for the purpose of leading people to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. Look for these signs or miracles and note them with a special symbol in the margin. For example, Jesus turned water into wine. The text says this was the beginning of His signs.
References that show the deity of Jesus (references that show that Jesus is God, such as "I am"). Each time you note such a reference, write Deity in the margin, and under it, record the next reference to His deity. This will give you a good chain of cross-reference.
Witnesses: Throughout his Gospel, John refers to those who bear witness to Jesus. We are these witnesses and what is their witness? For example, John said "I myself have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God" (John 1:34).
Determine the main subject or theme of each chapter and then record on Structure of John .
Mark in the text in a distinctive way all reference, including pronouns, to the Holy Spirit. Then list in your notebook everything your learn about the Holy Spirit. This is especially important in chapter 14 through 16.
List in your notebook any specific instructions or commandments that Jesus gives the disciples.
Record the main theme of each chapter as you did before.
Record the progression of events from Jesus' arrest through His resurrection and post resurrection appearances, noting the chapter and verse. Remember that since Luke gives the chronological order of the events, it becomes a plumb line for the other Gospel records.
Once again determine the theme of each chapter and record it as you have done previously.
Compile what John teaches about the King and the kingdom. John 3 contains the only two references to the kingdom. The other references to Jesus as the King are in the first and last segments of John. The Arrest, Trial, and Crucifixion of Jesus Christ and The Account of Jesus' Resurrection.
You will notice a section titled "Segment Divisions" and two lines where you can record "Signs and Miracles" and "Portrayals of Jesus Christ" Review the information you have recorded in the margins. Record your observations on the appropriate segment division line. For example, in chapter 1 Jesus referred to as "the Lamb of God". Record that fact at chapter 1 under "Portrayals of Jesus Christ". This will give you a visual picture of the structure of John.

The Beast of Bladenboro
The Beast of Bladenboro story took place from December of 1953, through January of 1954. In some ways the Beast of Bladenboro reminds one of the Timber Creek Monster. In both cases an unknown creature appeared to go on a mass killing spree, seemingly killing for sport.
While the Timber Creek Monster was eventually killed and identified, the Bladenboro Beast was never caught and what the creature really was remains unknown.
In a period of about a month the Beast of Bladenboro was believed to have killed over 100 animals in and around Bladenboro, North Carolina. Goats, cows, hogs, rabbits and many dogs all fell victim to the Beast. The manner of death was quite gruesome.
The victims often being torn apart, or as one man put it "shredded to ribbons". Jaws were ripped off, animals decapitated and skulls crushed. At one point the Mayor of Bladenboro posed for a picture with a dead Bobcat claiming that the Bladenboro Beast had been caught.
However, a Bobcat is just not capable of causing the type of injuries suffered by the victims. The descriptions of the Bladenboro Beast varied, indicating that there very well may have been more that one animal involved in the killings.
From sleek, black and about 2 feet tall at the shoulders to 3 feet tall with brown fur. At one point, on two consecutive nights, hunting parties of more than 800 men searched the area for the Beast of Bladenboro but came up with nothing.
By the end of January the killing stopped. The question remains however, what was the Beast of Bladenboro? Some say it was a wolf, this is unlikely however. Two of the men that hunted the Beast tracked it for several miles.
From the tracks they followed they identified the Beast as a big cat, and weighing between 70 and 80 lbs. They never saw the creature though, and there is no way to know if the creature they were following was in fact, the Beast of Bladenboro.
The most likely animal that could have been responsible for the killings would seem to be a panther or cougar. Females do weigh in the 70 to 80 lb range, and there was at least on report of the Beast where a smaller one was also seen.
Some estimates on the size of the Beast went as high as 150 lbs, which is the size of an adult male cougar.

Sage Park announced today that the acquisition of substantially all assets of Orian Rugs has been completed.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The domestic rug manufacturer Orian Rugs has been acquired by Sage Park, a global operations focused acquisition group. Sage Park announced today that the acquisition of substantially all assets of Orian Rugs has been completed.
Orian operates in two segments: the design and manufacture of woven rugs for national, specialty and e-commerce retailers, and the manufacturing of specialized yarn products which support the commercial furniture, home and automotive industries.
"For more than 43 years, Orian built a successful American-made brand using U.S. and globally sourced components with a well-earned reputation among its loyal customers for designing and creating quality products," said Sage Park Chairman and CEO Robert Joubran.

Headquartered in Anderson, S.C., Orian will continue to operate from its 730,000-square-foot facility.
"We are extremely excited to have completed this transaction with the Sage Park team as this process was extremely smooth and transparent." said Chris Veit, with ABTV, strategic advisor to Orian. "Sage Park's team is very experienced, operationally focused, and I'm confident that under Sage Park's ownership, the rug and yarn business will continue to grow, and the products and services offered will expand to meet the needs of this diverse customer base."
Stout Capital Markets served as financial advisors to Orian in the transaction. Terms of the transaction are not being disclosed.

Mullin slates special exhibit of French coachbuilt cars
By Larry Edsall
'Teardrop' 1937 Talbot Lago T150-C SS among vehicles to be featured in new exhibit at the Mullin Automotive Museum | Museum photos
"L'epoque des Carrossiers: The Art and Times of the French Coachbuilders" is the title of a new exhibition opening April 14 at the Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, California, where some of the most sculpturally sensual cars in the world will be on display. Among those cars are the 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic by Jean Bugatti, 1939 Delahaye Type 165 cabriolet by Figoni et Falaschi and 1937 Talbot-Lago T150-C SS "Goutte d'Eau."
"Our new exhibit will showcase the sublime beauty and artistry of France's finest coachbuilt cars," Peter Mullin, the museum's founder, was quoted in a news release. "The display highlights the nuanced details and elegant craftsmanship that define and distinguish each of the coachbuilders from one another.
"The elegant cars paired with their rich and diverse stories will create a captivating educational experience on the coachbuilt genre."
1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic
Included in the exhibit are works by Bugatti, Citroen, De Villars, Figoni et Falaschi, Henri Chapron, Henri Labourdette, Guiet & Cie., Pourtout, Jacques Saoutchik, Vanvorren and Gabriel Voisin, the museum said.
Several of the vehicles are Best of Show winners at major concours d'elegance.
Petersen to host 'Future of the Automobile' conference
Peter Mullin not only runs his own car museum, but is chairman of the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, which will join the Los Angeles World Affairs Council to host the "Future of the Automobile Conference" on May 3. The event will feature talks and panel sessions involving leaders in the field of the automobile, technology and city-planning.
Among the subjects to be explored are the impact of autonomous vehicles on city landscapes, the future of auto racing, and the competition between the traditional automakers and the tech companies to design the next-generation of transportation devices.
"Situated in the heart of Los Angeles, the Petersen his immersed in the transportation revolution. We want to be at the forefront of this conversation," said Terry Karges, the museum's executive director.
"The world of the automobile is changing before our eyes, and Los Angeles is at the epicenter of this change," added Terry McCarthy, president of the LA World Affairs Council. "Our conference will discuss this paradigm shifts in the car industry that will soon impact every country in the world."
Among the speakers is Ted Schilowitz, futurist at Paramount Pictures, as well as experts from Caltech, Microsoft and the Art Center College of Design.
Corvette museum offers 'Moore Mondays'
Each Monday, the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, will offer its Moore Mondays podcast featuring curator Derek Moore. The first segment was staged March 26 with a five-minute video on the Falconer ZR-12 Corvette. On April 2, Moore's subject will be the "Cormaro." You can catch the cast on Facebook Live "around 10:30 a.m." CDT, and if you miss it there, the museum says it will also post on YouTube.
'The Future is Now' at the Simeone
"The Future is Now," or at least will be very soon, at the Simeone Automotive Museum in Philadelphia, where an exhibition by that name is to run from April 28 through May 13.
"We are looking to prove that we are living in the future, a world where driving an automobile with technology once thought to be science fiction is an everyday experience," the museum said as it sent out a request for cars that might be included in the exhibit.
"Innovations such as hybrid technology, touch screens, navigation systems, hands free voice communication systems, object detection systems, radar, heads up displays, electric, solar, and more are needed to showcase these once sci-fi technologies," the notice continued. "If you have a sports car, a car built for speed and fun that has any number of the above features send us a submission to see if it can be a part of The Future is Now Exhibition."
To offer your vehicle, see the special exhibit website.
Mercedes museum extends AMG exhibition
The special "50 Years of AMG" exhibition at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Germany has been so successful, already attracting more than 150,000 visitors, that it is being extended through May 6, the museum staff has announced.

Just a comment: I understand that the Mullin Museum does not allow photography, which is very disappointing. I have just returned from the Revs Institute in Florida where it is not only permitted but the lighting is set to facilitate it. In addition, there are no barriers around the cars there!

Princesses for an afternoon, thanks to Belle and friends
By CTP | Beauty and the Beast
How many little girls can say they've shared afternoon tea with a beauty named, Belle?
Well, there were smiles all round last week when the winners of the recent colouring-in competition sat down and did just that. Sitting outside the Marcoola Community Bank branch of Bendigo Bank, mascot Piggy came along as well as manager, Kerryn Vincart and Coolum Theatre Players', Julia Loaney to provide extra giggles.
Fairy, Goody-Two-Shoes also made a guest appearance to help present the winners of the beautifully coloured-in masterpieces with their prize packages. Telina Ellis (Coolum State School), Indianna Winter (Coolum Beach Christian College), Lucy Schaber (Pacific Paradise State School) and Lana Charles (Peregian Springs State School) were the standout entries, but thanks must go to all who entered the competition.
Beauty and the Beast is taking place during the upcoming school holidays. Director, Johanna Wallace said the production is a particular favourite of hers.
Opening with two shows on Saturday, 24 and Sunday, 25 June and Saturday, July 1 and Sunday, July 2 at 11.00am and 2.00pm Coolum Civic Centre, this pantomime promises to warm the heart of all who go along.

Meet our panto director, Johanna Wallace
As a little girl I loved bedtime stories. Fairytales filled my imagination and led me on a path towards storytelling as a writer, actor and director. I've never grown up enough to stop loving fairytales. "Beauty and the Beast," is a particular favourite of mine, with a heroine who has more than just good looks, possessing a strong will, fierce family loyalty and a wise and kind heart. The tale of a Beast who learns to love and to overcome his inner ugliness was always captivating to me. Having the chance to bring this story to life for the stage, with a terrific group of young performers has been huge fun. A big thank you to Coolum Theatre Players for having me back again and I hope you all enjoy the show.
Beauty and the Beast opens in two weeks!

A stark illustration of this distinction can occur during bankruptcy, when stockholders are basically the last group to be paid out if there are remaining assets. Bondholders on the other hand are among the first to get paid. Historically, there has been an inverse correlation between the movement of stock and bond prices. We'll compare SPY for stocks with TLT for bonds.
Aside from illustrating negative correlation between TLT and S&P 500 , also reveals during spring of 2015, this inverse relationship had broken down to some degree. Over the last 10 years, TLT and SPY had a negative relationship (inverse correlation) on a 1-month basis on 82% of trading days. But why? One reason is that earnings drive stock prices and interest rates drive bond prices. Performance of the economy, then, is the axis around which these two drivers revolve.
For example, when the US economy is acting poorly, central bankers tend to lower interest rates to help stimulate growth. As interest rates go down, bond prices go up. In contrast, stock prices generally go down when economic conditions erode. These realities therefore fit the hypothesis - declining economic conditions are typically paired with falling interest rates, rising bond prices, and declining equity prices. It's important to note that while the negative correlation between the TLT (bond prices) and S&P 500 (equity prices) may hold the majority of the time, there are instances where it breaks down. As, always this is not 100%, but actually closer to 96.5% negatively correlated & 3.5% positively correlated. This will tell which direction to trade for day.
I understand all that you've written here, thank you for it. But my question is, when you say, "this will tell which direction to trade for the day', what do you mean?
@mikejody, if SPY shows a green candle that means DOW/Stocks are going up and TLT (Bonds) are going down and visa versa. The SPY is your day to day direction compass, especially if you day trade stocks.

Q: Как правильно создать глобальные переменные в файле .h Есть проект, в котором несколько десятков файлов .cpp, все они должны иметь доступ к глобальным переменным  WinAPI, под которые я выделил отдельный заголовочный файл globalvariable.h
В какой то момент, получается, переменные дублируются и выдается сообщение об ошибке на уровне .obj
Как указать компилятору чтоб он использовал эти переменные в файле globalvariable.h, а не создавал их заново вставляя в код? как правильно создавать глобальные переменные, чтоб они были видны из всех файлов реализации .cpp?

A: Правильный способ такой. Создайте все нужные переменные, но поместите их в cpp файл. А в h файле объявите с extern. Все. Теперь просто добавляйте этот h файл всем нужным файлам. А ещё хорошо их завернуть в namespace.
header
namespace global {
  extern int data;
}

cpp
namespace global {
  int data = 0;
}

в нужном месте теперь обращайтесь как global::data.
И не забудьте добавить cpp файл в компиляцию и потом в линковку.
Второй способ - это создать себе класс-синглтон, который и будет хранить все эти глобальные переменные. В некоторых случаях это может быть заметно лучше.
Третий способ - без глобальных переменных. И не будет проблем.

Not long ago, Marcus Barth said in regard to Pauline Ephesus: "The cult of the Great Mother and the Artemis temple stamped this city more than others as a bastion and bulwark of women's rights."1 Echoes of this speculation have formed the foundation of a popular egalitarian argument that the prohibition of women "teaching and exercising authority over a man" in 1 Tim 2:12 was only designed to correct a radical situation at Ephesus (cf. 1 Tim 1:3).2 "The gospel [was] struggling in Ephesus with gnostic-influenced women trumpeting a feminist reinterpretation of Adam and Eve as precedent for their own spiritual primacy and authority."3 In other words, because "the Ephesian women were radical feminists and trying to dominate men,"4 Paul merely objects to Ephesian women teaching and exercising authority.
Up to this point, no one has established historically that there was, in fact, a feminist culture in first-century Ephesus.5 It has merely been assumed.6 Enter Richard and Catherine Kroegers' I Suffer Not a Woman: Rethinking 1 Timothy 2:11–15 in Light of Ancient Evidence.

The World's Largest Photograph Captures 365 Billion Pixels of the Alps
Kelsey Campbell-Dollaghan
Filed to: photographyFiled to: photography
largest photograph ever
The latest image to claim the title of the world's largest photograph was clearly a labor of love: It took 70,000 images, shot over 15 days, in temperatures that hovered around -14 degrees. All told, the final panorama is 46 terabytes of icy blue beauty.
The title of world's largest photo seems to have a new owner every year. In 2009, this 29 gigapixel image of Dresden was the largest photo ever shot. A year later, it was 70 gigapixels thanks to this image of Budapest. Now, a team of photographers have uploaded the next largest-image-ever-of-the-moment, and it's exponentially bigger—a full 365 gigapixels. Backed by Canon, the photographer Filippo Blengini spent two weeks on Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps, shooting thousands and thousands of images of the peak using a Canon EOS 70D and no small amount of mountaineering gear.
Ultimately, 70,000 images were stitched together to form this zoomable monstrosity. And it's a tribute to the project that, even after having clicked around various other giant panoramas, it's still insanely fun to explore.

Three Surprising Parts of the World Where Air Pollution Decreased


UPDATE: This Forcefield armor is discontinued.
The other day I posted about Dainese Knee Armor that I think works well as hip armor. This time around I want to show you some killer knee protectors that you might want to upgrade with asap.
The yellow armor above is made by Forcefield. The "Net Replacement Armor" as it's called is soft, pliable and molded. It also meets the CE Level 2 Standard, which is more than most of the back/shoulder/elbow armor that comes with your gear. I've upgraded the knee armor in my Revit pants to make riding in them more comfortable.I love Forcefield because it's not as vulnerable to cold and it offers Repeat Performance Technology; which means you can use it again even if you crash on it. The Net Armor is also vented and super smushy. It hardens on impact much like a competing technology called d3o. As much as I like d3o, I prefer the shapes that Forcefield has to offer since it molds better to my petite frame.
Many of you might have Dainese riding pants, either textiles or leathers. I want to recommend this form of d3o armor from a company called Rukka (Finland). The d3o Air Knee Pads are about the same height as Dainese knee protectors but offer a full length shock absorption which the hard shell Dainese does not. The width is about the same as well.
I've recommended these to many of my customers and highly highly recommend them to upgrade any of your Dainese pants (mens and ladies). Also, these would work really well in dirt / adventure pants that might have really long pockets in the knees. The coverage is longer than the other knee armor options as well!
Of course you can find replacement back protectors, shoulders and hips with d3o and Forcefield as well.
Ladies, my friend Todd from Heroic Racing is dedicated to making the best 1-piece and 2-piece suits, as well as race gloves and boots for women who live to race or ride motorcycles. Todd designs suits and gloves for many women who race professionally in the US and all over the world. I've seen his work and it's quite amazing. He's selling boots and gloves on closeout at some of the best prices you'll see for comparable race boots/gloves. Or if you're simply looking for a stronger boot and/or glove for road riding, you'll want to consider a pair of Heroics. A comparable glove would be the Held Phantoms. And a comparable boot would be the Sidi Vertigo Lei without the pink. :) And for my environmentally friendly friends, both the Vertigos and the HRAs are made of Lorica, so you can be happy wearing them knowing that no cows were harmed in the creation of your boots.
Model: Heroic SP-R Gloves Price: Msrp $265, Sale $160! Colors: black or white Sizes: 7 - 9 (small - large). I fit a 7 perfectly and I'm generally a small in women's gloves, as well as a 6.5 in Held. -Full kangaroo hide -Stingray fish buckles, hand sliders, palm sliders -GP Pinkie - finger protection during crash -TPU Knuckles -TPU Sliders -HEROIC Articulated Fingers - Keeps fingers in Racecurl -Kangaroo Thumb deflector - keeps hand buckle from getting damaged in wreck -Fully stitched with Kevlar and bonded Nylon - ultimate threading -HEROIC Logo with shock protection memory foam. -Extra inch of gauntlet from predecessor -These gloves received 2WheelTuner Editors Choice in their 2009 Glove Guide.
Featuring Kangaroo leather and Stingray hyde. Stingray is supposedly stronger than leather. I say supposedly because I haven't crashed in a pair. But, based on what I"ve seen of post crash leathers, it's one of the best options available. I've tried these on and they're very different from similar race gloves in that the seams on the palms are sewn so that it feels extra articulated for riding position. As soon as you put your hand in, your fingers have nowhere to go except down around your handgrip. Generally speaking, any real protective glove should fit the best around the handgrip and it should be really really uncomfortable do make a high five or a fist.
The wrist protection is fully covered and you can be sure that your hands are going to be safe and sound, surrounded by the heavenly feel of kangaroo leather and stingray hide. Oooo. Aaaa. Ohhhh.

I regularly visit schools to talk about my books and see these visits as an integral part of my work as a writer. I enjoy meeting readers and working with young people on developing their own creativity.
During a visit, I'll talk about the books that I've written and will always read aloud from at least one of them. I'll discuss why and how I write. I'll talk about my ideas and inspirations. And I'll leave lots of time for questions.
Spend the rest of the day on creative writing workshops.
A assembly with the whole school focused on the Dragonsitter books (because they really do appeal to all ages) followed by creative writing workshops with different classes.
I also offer a joint event with Garry Parsons, who illustrates the 'Dragonsitter' books. Please have a look at Garry's page for more information.
I usually do 3 or 4 sessions in a day.
45-60 mins for a talk including questions.
A creative writing workshop could last anything between an hour and a whole school day.
I live in London, but will travel anywhere, provided expenses and overnight accommodation (where needed) are funded.
I don't charge travel expenses for events in London, but would ask to be reimbursed for a return train ticket or mileage cost for travel outside the M25.
A Dog Called Grk & 7 more titles in the Grk series.
"I really enjoyed Josh Lacey's visit. He taught me how to be creative and helped me expand my imagination."
"When Josh Lacey came to our school, he was amazing. The way he put expression into his writing, it made me want to read his books."
"The children were excited in advance about meeting you but even more so afterwards - you engaged with them brilliantly and inspired them in many different ways. I think you would be very pleased if you could see how many Grk books are still being read in the playground at breaktime more than a week later! The Year 5 and Year 6 children enjoyed your workshops enormously and some have continued working on the ideas by themselves at home. It was a very special day for us all and thank you so much for all that you put into it."
