As someone who loves bright shiny amazing looking and sounding stereo equipment, I couldn't wait for the 3rd annual T.H.E. Show Newport Beach 2013. I don't get to go to a lot of these shows. Once a year in Newport Beach is it for me.
It's not easy for these manufacturers and distributors to get great sound out of their gear in these hotel rooms. To be honest with you, most rooms sounded great gut didn't sound amazing. The ones that did made it all worth the hunt. As usual, Zesto Audio and Wywires were right up there in the amazing sound category. And it was great to see that huge improvements in entry-level equipment continue with a lot of high end, super expensive technology trickling down to the entry-level equipment. I look at these high-end gems as something I might buy. Used. 10 years from now.
Also, T.H.E. Show Newport Beach is becoming T.H.E. place to buy collectable vinyl. I was the liaison between T.H.E. Show's producer and the record merchants both this year and last so I got a close look at what was going on. I don't have a lot of room to describe all the fun, and close proximity to the pool bar did in fact add to the festivities and fuzziness of recollection. So I'll just say, if you're looking for interesting vinyl, get there on Friday next year. Early on Friday. As soon as it opens up, be there. Don't wait until Saturday. And if you can, go back Sunday just in case there are a few deals left.
I look at these high-end gems as something I might buy. Used. 10 years from now.
Listening is easy when the music is compelling and well recorded. Playback is secondary, because you can never get good sound out of a crappy recording and if the music doesn't touch you, then who gives a flying fondue if it's well recorded?
Another favorite audiophile label is Impex Records. These guys don't put out a ton of re-issues because their philosophy is if they cannot get a clean original analog master, they pass on the project no matter how tempting. They carry that attitude through into the whole production process putting out the most gorgeous vinyl and high quality packaging out there.
Their recent re-issue of the Jazz Messengers' Hard Bop is another blazing, "in your living room" stunner. Impex Records does it again.
I went out and purchased the new re-issues of Freak Out and Overnight Sensation. Freak Out is taken from the original 1966 stereo mix cut from Frank Zappa's and Bob Stone's digital transfer of original tape master in 1987. I compared this release, which is on 180 gram vinyl by Pallas Group in Germany, to the "Digitally Re-tweezed" Old Masters Box One set from 1984 and a super clean stereo original Verve V6-5005-2 and a super clean Verve mono original V-5005-2. The new reissue sounds great. Zappa Vaultmeiser Joe Travers and Chris Bellman of Bernie Grundman mastering have done a super job. Pretty much everything the Zappa Family Trust has put out in the last few years is an upgrade. Especially the CD reissues.
So go out grab Freak Out if you don't have it already or, if like me you need all versions. (Oh and the mono original I compared it to blew them all away, but good luck finding a clean mono orig.) The bonus is they included the Freak Map. I've been looking for one of those but the prices are too high. Maybe this reissue will bring the price down a little. Probably not.
Travers and Bellman were able to use the original 1973 analog master for this reissue of Overnight Sensation. I compared it against three original copies and the Old Masters Volume Three reissue, again digitally re-tweezed in 1984. The sound of the three original copies was all over the place. One sounded really dark and muddy, but one sounded really good. The Old Masters version sounded pretty dead and flat. The new reissue is well worth the dough. No deadness, plenty of detail and the music, of course, is fantastic. Both records have really quiet vinyl and the packaging is first class.
Available for the first time, these recently discovered master tapes are a wonderful groove. Performing individually and together, this stands up with their best. Available from RPM/Columbia/Legacy recordings. Pick it up. You'll be listening to this for a long time.

Q: C++: Creating derived class that has access to private variables of base? I have an abstract class base with private member variable base_var. I want to create a derived class, which also has base_var as a private member.
To me, this seems like an obvious thing you would want to do. base is abstract so it will never be instantiated. The only time I will create a base-object is if it is actually a derived object, so obviously when I give ´base´ a private member variable, what I am really trying to do is give that variable to all of its derived objects.
However, the below diagram seems to suggest that this is not doable with inheritance?

Why not? What would then even be the point of having private stuff in an abstract class? That class will never be instantiated, so all that private stuff is essentially useless?

A:
However, the below diagram seems to suggest that this is not doable with inheritance?

Correct, private members of a class can not be accessed by derived classes.  If You want a member of a class to be accessible by its derived classes but not by the outside, then You have to make it protected.

Why not? What would then even be the point of having private stuff in an abstract class? That class will never be instantiated, so all that private stuff is essentially useless?

Even an abstract class can have member functions which act on a (private) member variable.  Consider (somewhat silly example, but well):
class MaxCached
{
  private:
  int cache = std::numeric_limits<int>::min();

  public:
  bool put(int value)
  {
    if (value > cache)
    {
      cache = value;
      return true;
    }
    return false;
  }

  int get() const
  {
    return cache;
  }

  virtual void someInterface() const = 0;
};

Deriving from this class gives You the functionality of the base class (put and get) without the danger of breaking it (by for example writing a wrong value to cache).
Side note: Above is a purely made up example! You shouldn't add such a cache (which is independent of Your interface) into the abstract base class.  As it stands the example breaks with the "Single Responsibility Principle"!

A:
I have an abstract class base with private member variable base_var

class foo {
public:
    virtual void a_pure_virtual_method() = 0;
    int get_var() { base_var; }
    virtual ~foo(){}
private:
    int base_var;
};

Note that a class is said to be abstract when it has at least one pure virtual (aka abstract) method. There is nothing that forbids an abstract class to have non-pure virtual or even non-virtual methods.

I want to create a derived class, which also has base_var as a private member.

class derived : public foo {};

To me, this seems like an obvious thing you would want to do.

Sure, no problem so far.

The only time I will create a base-object is if it is actually a derived object, so obviously when I give ´base´ a private member variable, what I am really trying to do is give that variable to all of its derived objects.

Still fine.

Why not?

You are confusing access rights that are display in the image you included with the mere presence of the members in the derived. The derived class has no access to members that are private in the base class. Period. This is just according to the definition of what is private.

What would then even be the point of having private stuff in an abstract class? That class will never be instantiated, so all that private stuff is essentially useless?

It is not useless at all. Derived classes inherit all members, they just cannot access all of them. The private stuff is there you just cannot access it directly. Thats the whole point of encapsulation. Consider this example:
class bar : public foo {
    void test() {
        std::cout << base_var;  // error base_var is private in foo
        std::cout << get_var(); // fine
    }
};

A: Just because a class is abstract doesn't mean there cannot be code implemented in that class that might access that variable. When you declare an item in a class to be private, the compiler assumes you had a good reason and will not change the access just because it there is a pure virtual function in the class.
If you want your derived classes to have access to a base class member declare the member as protected.

A link to a non-HTML document should provide information about the document, including a meaningful name, the file format and the file size. This gives users a good idea of what to expect if they click on the link.
This information is especially useful in the case of links to non-HTML files, such as image files, PDFs, Microsoft Office or OpenDocument files, and audio or video files.
The New Zealand Government Web Usability Standard requires that links to non-HTML files be accompanied by information indicating the file's format and size.
Informing users up front about a file's format and size allows them to make an informed decision about whether or not to download it. Should they choose to download it, an indication of what type of application or plugin they will need to use the file is helpful, as is providing an extra link to any plugins needed to use the file.
Providing useful link text as described above can also help screen reader users. Screen reader software typically enables the user to call up a list of all the links on a page for quicker access. Since, in this view, each link is removed from its surrounding page context, it can be difficult to determine the link's purpose if the link text alone does not make the target of the link clear.


Forex.com is the trading arm of GAIN Global Markets Inc., which is a publicly traded company with headquarters in the USA. Just like many other forex brokers, Forex.com provides various financial instruments to go along with different platforms.
•	It is under regulations.
•	Its parent company trades publicly.
These two things guarantee that these people mean business. Let's admit it: traders feel safer when brokerages are under regulations.
The fact that its mother company trades on the NYSE is another plus point for Forex.com. A public company takes care of its reputation. Therefore, it's safe to assume it does its best to make its trading arm excellent.
Forex.com is aware that there are thousands of other brokers out there competing in the same market as them. It's easy to think that it's just another broker that brags about stuff like accomplishments and excellent service.
The difference is that Forex.com has numbers to back up its claims. Such statistics are helpful to further solidify its advantage over other brokers. Of course, you can't argue with numbers—facts.
These numbers are impressive. Almost instant trade executions mean they fill your order at the exact moment you want it. When that happens, there's less chance your actual order execution will deviate too much from your expected execution.
In other words, your trading strategy won't suffer too much in volatile market conditions. That's how these Forex.com statistics matter.
Forex.com has a lot of bragging rights, which are necessary for it to live up to its name.
Basically, this broker has everything you need: web/mobile platform, reasonable fees and commissions, and the feeling of security for your money. The last one matters because you would never want your money in the hands if suspicious people, would you?
We'd say if you prefer a broker that you can trust, Forex.com is your bet. Overall, you can trade with them without worrying about your safety as a trader. Low fees, quick-fire trade execution, and security—this is a recipe for success.
There are unproductive days of trading with this broker. This means that I didn't reach my target profit for the day. Although they don't happen frequently. Overall, this broker has been good to me.

Q: Using git credentialmanager with github tokens for gists I'm trying to push my gist to github and trying to do it the right way by using the credential manager as per this answer
I assumed following simple workflow would suffice

Unfortunately, it's either not that simple or I messed up somewhere else. All I get is a remote: Repository not found.

I can get push to work by changing the remote to https://<token>@gist.github.com/lkeersmaekers/4884d047b3b90ccd697a4d7ec21be49d but that's exactly what the credential manager should take care of?

A: The Git Credential Manager (GCM) (previously GCM-core, recently renamed as GCM) depends on the Windows Credential Manager.
Open said Windows Credential Manager and check if there is any github.com entry, which might include the wrong password (like your actual password instead of a token).
Delete that entry, and the next git push would ask for your credentials (do use the token as password then).


This scholarship is funded by EPSRC and IQE plc.
Perovskite solar cells have caused much excitement in the last few years since their appearance in the research literature in 2012. The absorption characteristics of perovskite films means they are ideally suited to building tandem perovskite-silicon solar cells in attempt to capture a wider portion of the solar spectrum. Similar tandem devices have now reached 26.3 % efficiency in the laboratory.
A generous (£20,000/year), tax free, four-year scholarship is available for this exciting and challenging project, which seeks to build tandem perovskite-silicon solar cells on ultra-thin, flexible epitaxial silicon layers. These types of devices will initially find applications requiring high specific power for such as space power and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications. The project is sponsored by IQE plc, a World leading manufacturer of semiconductor materials based in Cardiff, and the producer of the flexible silicon material. The successful candidate will spend a significant portion of their time working at IQE's manufacturing facility in Cardiff UK, fabricating the silicon wafers (travel expenses to/from Swansea will be provided). The candidate will then build and characterise the tandem solar cells in the state-of-the-art facilities operated by SPECIFIC-IKC on the College of Engineering's Bay Campus.
We are seeking a talented candidate with a passion for solar cell materials research, who can work comfortably across the disciplines of Materials Science, Manufacturing, and Applied Physics, in both the University and Industrial/Commercial environment.
Applicants should hold a first or upper second class (2:1) honours degree (or its equivalent) in physics, chemistry or materials engineering, or related subjects.
Some knowledge of silicon and/or perovskite photovoltaics is highly desirable and we would particularly encourage applicants with previous project experience in the areas of solar cells materials and/or device physics to apply.
The scholarship covers the full cost of UK/EU tuition fees, a tax-free annual stipend of £20,000 for four years and additional funding for other research expenses.

We've been busy preparing the next version of Yurbi, and it's going to be big.
While we're always updating Yurbi to improve its efficiency, there hasn't been a design overhaul since v10 was released at the beginning of 2015. That's about to change, and we'd like to share some of the new features you'll be able to utilize when Yurbi v11 launches.
Software changes rapidly as does the style of user interfaces that encourage a more seamless user experience when working with software. We're updating the overall style and usability of the Yurbi interface to leverage our favorite practices in interface design. Get ready to enjoy a modern UI that's deeply customizable without being confusing, and sophisticated tools that make reporting, sharing and analyzing data easier than before.
Data has always been the focus in Yurbi, but in v11 we plan to make it the star of the show. We've trimmed a lot of fat from Yurbi's interface in order for data to pop, thereby making it easier and faster for you to locate the information you need. We've minimized the "chrome (or borders)" of Yurbi, reducing the amount of space on the header so you have a larger, cleaner window space to work with.
We've received a lot of feedback and requests for certain features, and we built v11 to incorporate as many user ideas as possible.
For example, we've added a global dashboard filter that lets you easily update all of your widgets at the same time. We've also added saved filters, which lets you save multiple filter views so you don't have to go through the process of adding the same filter each time you need it.
This concept of saving your favorite custom filters was influential in developing v11, and you'll see it throughout Yurbi in the future, not just in dashboards.
We've not only taken out a lot of clutter and noise from Yurbi, but we've removed cryptic icons and replaced them with intuitive icons that have text names. Not only were the previous icons confusing to Yurbi users, but we couldn't clearly convey the purpose of each operation across multiple languages. With the multi-lingual support feature coming to Yurbi next month, each icon will now be easily understood, no matter the language.
Common use cases have been optimized to be front and center. Dropdown and hover menus are now streamlined to include important actions within the menu itself. You can search for dashboards, select from a list of favorites, and even build and browse a set of private dashboards to choose from—without leaving the menu.
Applying common use cases to menus is a theme that you'll see throughout v11.
We like customizable software, and we designed Yurbi so that you can incorporate your brand's logo and colors on the header and footer of each page. Now branding and white label is even simpler; you don't have to have the dual colors in your branding, you can focus solely on your brand's main color. You can replace the Yurbi logo with a logo of your own creation, too.
One of our most important design philosophies is incorporating user feedback to make Yurbi the best it can be. As we wrap the interface design stage on v11, we're keeping our ears open to your comments, requests, and feedback.
Is there a feature you'd like to see in the next version of Yurbi? Contact us—it's a great time to include any suggestions you might have before we charge full steam into development.
More information on Yurbi v11 is coming soon. Stay tuned to our blog for more details.

Day 3 at DrupalCon was the busiest so-far, where I saw the best talks revolving around security and high scalability sites.
It started with Zeki Vázquez talking about a project he is working on where his (secret) client has requested a standard Drupal 7 multisite platform that has the ability to handle over 100,000 (yep, you read that correct, it isn't a typo) multisites all sharing the same Drupal core codebase with an uptime availability of 99.99%!
The web server of choice for any scalable system is always Nginx due to its flexible configuration with PHP-FPM doing the HTML rendering.
The code containers use Docker which in turn connects to the databases and an S3 bucket mounted via S3fs. The main advantage of this is that the S3fs system can split a single S3 bucket into separate disks for each multisite required, thereby bypassing the 100 buckets per AWS account.
A recurring theme this DrupalCon is the shift towards treating infrastructure as code where with technologies such as Ansible Playbooks and Dockerfile they can be stored in the same repository as your website code. This means that any developer can spin up his own Vagrant virtual server and use the provisioning scripts in the code to make an exact copy of the production environments.
When planning systems at this scale a standard MySQL database just won't cut it, so Zeki discussed the way that he removed any cache, field data and field permissions out of MySQL and into the flat document NoSQL database called MongoDB. Drupal needs quick access to these tables as they hold the data that is constantly in use. Seeing as no complex joins or manipulation is required on this data, it can safely be stored in flat files, which is exactly the way that MongoDB works.
The theme of scalability continued after the break when Maxime Topolov (@mtopolov) from Adyax talked about their recent development of a Drupal CMS designed for large publishers such as Rue89 and Le Monde. His client required an always-on system that could still operate if all three internet connections to the building were severed. This was achieved by hosting servers inside the building then having Drupal synchronise with a mirror copy in a data center.
Maxime reiterated the age old Change Management issue of winning the hearts and minds of the end users, where the journalists who were set in their ways refused to even participate in training events. He combated this by targeting the most vocal and getting them involved very early in the design process of the system.
From a technical point of view they developed a very clever tiered repository of Drupal profiles where they controlled the main core distribution and then they granted downstream access (and controlled push access) to third party agencies and freelancers. This was acheived by using their very own DocMan.
Later on I sat in a conversation regarding Drupal security from @scorlosquet and @_klausi_ from Acquia and Epiqo who sit on the Drupal security team. They advised of the best practices to use, which most developers would consider common sense but security is definitely something that is worth talking about.
Klausi gave a great explanation on exactly how XSS and CSRF attacks are used to force access bypass checks, as well as the ways to mitigate the risks by setting up automated tests to ensure that specific roles can only access certain endpoints.
Drupal 8 will be more secure due to CSRF protection being built into core and the inability to execute any other code except from the index.php file. This means that, at last, no more PHP in the template files – instead Drupal themers can use Twig.
After another tour of the exhibition hall I got talking to Daniel from Drop Guard about their automated upgrade & patching system. I was quite impressed by what he said the system could do so he gave me a Beta access to the product – watch this space for a review of the system.

Jim Al-Khalili on the joy of science and how to stay curious
Physicist and broadcaster Jim Al-Khalili discusses the power of wonder, the importance of overcoming our biases and the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics
Humans 23 March 2022
By Richard Webb
Nabil Nezzar
IT SEEMS nobody spends quite as much time discussing the joys of science as Jim Al-Khalili. Whether with guests on his BBC radio programme, The Life Scientific, in the documentaries he presents or with the students he teaches and mentors at the University of Surrey, UK, he is on an insatiable quest to find out "why". He told us where this all started, why scientists need to question their own biases and about the importance of never growing up.
Richard Webb: To turn the tables a bit, what made you take up a life scientific?
Jim Al-Khalili: I guess my passion for science, well, physics, began in my early teens, when I was obsessed with football and discovering girls and thinking I'd one day play for my beloved Leeds United, who were a good team back then in the mid-1970s. But I suddenly fell in love with physics. It was like puzzle solving; it was common sense. With chemistry and biology, I had to remember stuff, and I'm terrible at remembering stuff. Physics also dealt with the big questions. Where does the universe come from? What does an atom look like? What's inside a star? So from about the age of 13 or 14, I wanted to do physics. If I got to play for Leeds United, that would be nice, but I was going to be a physicist.
Your latest book is called The Joy of Science. Is that something you feel on a day-to-day basis?
It is, actually. Part of why I enjoy science communication is that I like doing the science. I like …

Bionic limb made in Medellín will bring hope to many
By Carlos Olimpo Restrepo Suescún
e-NABLE, a Medellin based non-profit organization has designed an open-source, 3D printed bionic arm using low-cost, efficient materials. This groundbreaking development was designed in collaboration with a team of students and graduates from the UdeA undergraduate degree in Engineering.
On March 16, 2015, Bryan García was adjusting an air antenna to improve his TV signal strength. Thirteen hours later he woke up at the hospital to the news that his right hand would be amputated due to the damage caused by a lightning strike that hit him while manipulating the outdoor antenna.
During his recovery, Bryan used a prosthesis supplied by his health insurance. "It was quite heavy and uncomfortable, and it also made my stump hurt", he says. He then switched to a lighter but less practical prosthesis, which was donated by a foundation.

"One day I received a call from the mayor's office of my town, and they asked me if I wanted to participate in testing of a newly developed prosthesis. It was then that I had the opportunity to meet both Adam and e-NABLE", Bryan says. e-NABLE is a non-profit organization founded by Adam Armfield (an Australian based in Medellín), with the support from Australian volunteers and a team of UdeA engineering students.
For several months, Bryan visited e-NABLE's headquarters in order to participate in further testing. Almost a year later, Esteban Rojas, a bioengineer at Universidad de Antioquia with a keen interest in biomechanics and amputee rehabilitation, joined the team of eleven researchers and students - mostly volunteers from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Spain and Colombia – responsible for the project development.
"The purpose was to develop a new prosthesis. In 2018 we started working on what would later become a robotic arm designed to be used by people with above-elbow amputations", Rojas says.
Based on the problems detected in the initial tests and the information provided by Bryan, the team focused on improving the prosthesis design, which resulted in the successful development of the prosthesis that Bryan uses in his daily life. "We aim to help those who find it difficult to use traditional prostheses since this device is designed to be used in an easy and comfortable way. The idea is to reach more people in need of this type of aid," he said.
Three volunteers and a UdeA Bioengineering intern also contributed to this development. "We made them aware of the project so that they could replicate the design with the existing documentation since our purpose was to develop an open-source prosthesis. That is, that anyone become capable of designing and assembling the device using simple materials. As expected, they were able to do so and therefore we could move forward with the development," the researcher said.
Although one of the main objectives of e-NABLE is to provide support to landmine victims, Bryan García, a 19-year-old undergraduate student, has become the first Colombian to use the robotic limb. "I was chosen to use the device due to serious elbow injury. This prosthesis is much better than the first one I used since I don't have to make a lot of effort or use my other hand to make it move," says Bryan.
Although Bryan claims that he still misses the missing limb, he says the prosthesis has helped him recover part of the skills that, at times, he believed lost forever.
Parts of the bionic arm
Forearm. This piece is in contact with the user's limb and consists of two servo motors - which provide and increase energy when required – and two EMG sensors.
Battery box / switches. They are located between the lower end of the forearm and the tendon module. It consists of two AAA batteries (preferably rechargeable) and two switches that are connected to the circuit board.
Arm. It contains nylon-based tendons that connect the servo motors with the fingers, as well as the circuit board and the motion sensors.
Hand. It consists of nylon strings and a fingerboard. It has articulated fingers with tips made of soft, sticky gel to improve grip.
Electronic sensors. Two electronic sensors connected to the forearm record the electrical activity of the muscles. One sensor is installed in the biceps and the other one is connected to the forearm muscle. They are located on the outside of the device and are directly connected to the circuit board that transforms the muscle's biological signal into an electrical signal to turn on the servomotors.
Two grip systems
e-NABLE's bionic arm allows users to perform 2 different types of grips:
One is aimed at holding small items, such as a pencil and tools like a screwdriver; and the other, more powerful, is intended for more bulky and heavy elements, such as glass cups and bottles.
In May 2019, Bryan continued to attend the testing of the open-source robotic arm
In both cases, the power of the grip is determined by the user through the signals sent from his muscles to the sensors attached to the stump, which, in turn, activate the servomotors that control the bionic arm.

I think a few weeks ago I came across Asifa Lahore's hilarious music video Jimmy which is a remake of Mia's Jimmy, which itself is a remake of Mithun's popular song from the eighties- Jimmy! Jimmy! JImmy! Aaja! Aaja! Aaja! Remember? Anyways, that sort of took me to all of the most inspiring interviews of this incredible man named Asif Qureshi for whom drag is more than just gaudy makeup and clothes, it is a way of life. Asifa Lahore is one of the first out drag queens and how! A recent documentary of hers (that was showed on Channel 4 in the UK) was widely talked about. She talks about how she gets mails from troubled teenagers trying to fit in, to hate mails with people telling her how she's a disgrace to the Muslim community and that she must be killed. But here she is, living her life proudly as a Muslim drag and fab. More power to people like her.

What do 'recovery' and 'personalisation' mean? Perspectives of managers, practitioners, service users and carers?
Alan Simpson is Professor of Collaborative Mental Health Nursing and leads the Centre for Mental Health Research. He recently led two cross-national studies of recovery-focused care planning and coordination in community and inpatient settings in England and Wales and previously completed the UK's first pilot trial of peer support for people discharged from mental health units. He was a co-investigator on the successful SafeWards trial in which he facilitated collaboration with service users and carers throughout the five year study and was also co-investigator on a national study of 'protected engagement time' on acute inpatient wards. Alan also conducted a study of care coordination in community mental health teams and led a number of innovative educational evaluations.
Dr Sally Barlow is Research Fellow specialising in recovery-focused mental health. She joined City University London in 2013, moving from Yorkshire where she previously worked at the University of Bradford as a Lecturer in Mental Health Nursing. Sally was project manager on two cross-national studies of recovery-focused care planning and coordination in community and inpatient settings in England and Wales and is involved in a number of other projects. Sally initially worked and studied at Trinity College Dublin where she completed a PhD in Behavioural Neuroscience. Her key interest at doctoral level was the pathophysiology of depression and anxiety and approaches to ameliorating symptoms. After working at a molecular level 'at the bench' she made the move to healthcare research 'to the bedside'. Her first healthcare research position was based at Bradford University working on body image disturbances as a consequence of lymphoedema secondary to cancer.
Abstract: Care planning and co-ordination in mental health services should be recovery-focused and personalised, with people taking more control over their own support and treatment. In this seminar, we present and discuss the results of a large study where we aimed to obtain the views and experiences of various stakeholders involved in community mental health care to identify factors that facilitated, or acted as barriers to personalised, collaborative and recovery-focused care planning and co-ordination.
We will explore what different stakeholders understood by the terms 'recovery' and 'personalisation' and what their experiences were in relation to care planning and service delivery. This will be considered in the context of how these terms are used in health/social care service and voluntary sector policies and the wider research literature, and then discussed in relation to the potential implications for clinical practice.
The study was a cross-national comparative mixed-methods study involving six NHS sites in England and Wales, including a meta-narrative synthesis of relevant policies and literature; a survey of recovery, empowerment and therapeutic relationships in service users (n = 449) and recovery in care co-ordinators (n = 201); embedded case studies involving interviews with service providers, service users and carers (n = 117); and a review of care plans (n = 33).

Possibly Ozzie slang, originally. From a citation quoted under the Oxford English Dictionary definition of "scrubber":
B. Mather, Snowline, 1973: "She looked a scrubber [i.e.] a mare that runs wild in the scrub country, copulating indiscriminately with stray stallions. The derivation is Australian, but [the term is] applied to women of similar propensities in other parts of the English-speaking world."
The term also seems initially to have been associated with jazz groupies:
Encounter, May 30, 1959: "The scrubbers [are] very young girls who follow jazz bands around the country"
Jazz musician George Melly hints that the word had only become an epithet for a prostitute fairly recently, writing in 1965: "I understand that [scrubber] now means a prostitute. In our day this was not the case. A scrubber was a girl who slept with a jazzman, but for her own satisfaction as much as his."
Germaine Greer links the term with manual (cleaning?) work, but also indicates that the term was relatively newly coined when writing in 1970: "The most recent case in which contempt for menial labour has devised a new term of abuse for women, is the usage of scrubber for a girl of easy virtue".
Certainly in Aus a scrubber is a woman who is "easy", I've never come across it here as a prostitute.

True, but isn't it precisely because this case is so old and most of the information is missing that we shouldn't dismiss one account when we have nothing to the contrary?
As to not readily accepting secondary? sources (I'm sure you mean press articles), the alternate is often that the theorist will invent a solution of their own making. How is that intended to benefit anyone, but the theorist?
That is not a legitimate approach.
In the rare occasion where we have two contrary accounts, both must be held as credible when we cannot demonstrate which is at fault.
For once I would like to read a book that takes all witness accounts as potentially credible and see in what direction the case seems to go.
The only exception is where stories were shown to be false by Scotland Yard at the time.
Sadly, theorists are too wrapped up in their own beliefs to write a balanced account of these murders.

And Barnett claimed they were both prostitutes, in the PIP, and blamed them for the break-up. Is this where the term "scrubber" originated? Although come to think of it wasn't Julia reported to be a charwoman in most reports?
Only if you take it that "Julia" had to be Julia Vanturney, I'm not so sure.
Vanturney was not said to be a prostitute in any account I read, though given the notoriety of the court it must be considered.
"Marie never went on the streets when she lived with me. She would never have gone wrong again, and I should never have left if it had not been for the prostitutes stopping in the house. She only let them in the house because she was good hearted, and did not like to refuse them shelter on cold, bitter nights."
Yet, that may be contradicted by one of the two reasons he gave to Abberline on 9 Nov.:
"....when in consequence of not earning sufficient money to give her and her resorting to prostitution, I resolved on leaving her".
Which appears to indicate she turned to prostitution before he left her on 30th Oct.

No it wouldn't, it seems researchers are arguing for the sake of arguing over what is nothing really relevant, and its the same group of resident researchers all the time, and time and again we see the same topics cropping up and the same arguments over and over again by the same small minority. Its easy to see why so many other researchers have come and gone
And this is another problem with Ripperology when these inventions come to light as is the case here, it sets researchers off into a casebook feeding frenzy.

Its not a rare occurrence there are conflicts from the first murder right through to the last.
yes and Fisherman and his Cross theory is one to mention, if everyone were to let it go and stop encouraging him by trying to take him on, his wild theory would fall by the wayside. It is quite clear that whatever is said, or put forward to negate his theory, he is not going to relent so why keep giving him the publicity he seeks.
Oh dear - Trevor wants my head on a silver plate - I am done for!
Eh, before I am shunned by all the posters out here, Trevor, can you please tell me how my theory was negated? I must have missed that part!
Curious Cat
Looking back over things, I have to agree with Wickerman that the woman staying at 13 Miller's Court with Mary on the 30th October is not Julia Venturney. Barnett draws a clear distinction of the two women staying with Mary and, as mentioned, he would've been in some way familiar with Venturney enough to say it was her but he doesn't point in that direction.
Julia Venturney also doesn't identify herself as the woman in the room, only speaking of it as an observer. She does, however, suggest the windows were broken - by Mary while drunk - before 30th October. This opens up the time frame of Barnett using it as a means to open the door from before they separated rather than just the week leading up to the killing.
Is it known if anyone actually came forward to identify themselves as the woman staying with Mary on or around the 30th October, or was she only ever referred to by Barnett?
With this in mind, a revised time line up to the evening of the killing...
A woman called "Julia" is invited to stay at 13 Miller's Court at the end of October.
Mary Kelly and Joseph Barnett argue about this arrangement on the 30th October.
Joseph Barnett finds new lodgings in Bishopgate.
"Julia" leaves 13 Miller's Court some time between 31st October - 4th November
Maria Harvey stays at 13 Miller's Court 5th&6th November.
Maria Harvey moves to a room at New Court 7th-8th November.
Maria Harvey visits Mary Kelly at 13 Miller's Court on 8th November.
Joseph Barnett visits Mary Kelly at 13 Miller's Court every day since leaving on 30th October, including the evening of 8th November. He arrives while Maria Harvey is still there.
Lizzie Albrook also visits Mary Kelly on the evening of 8th November. When she arrives is not clear but she leaves before Maria Harvey at about 8pm with Joseph Barnett.
Maria Harvey leaves shortly after Lizzie Albrook, so anything between 8pm and 8:30pm.
Is there anything that may contradict this as a timeline or any other details I've missed? What I'm really after is building a picture in the lead up to the murder.

A question about the key to 13 Miller's Court.
Is it reported how and where the key was found or was it just made known that it had been found?
Just to interject in your timeline, Kelly was seen by Bowyer on Wednesday 7th, presumably in the court.

Harry Bowyer states that on Wednesday night he saw a man speaking to Kelly who resembled the description given by the fruiterer of the supposed Berner Street murderer. He was, perhaps, 27 or 28 and had a dark moustache and very peculiar eyes. His appearance was rather smart and attention was drawn to him by showing very white cuffs and a rather long white collar, the ends of which came down in front over a black coat. He did not carry a bag.
Western Mail, 12 Nov. 1888.
A man seen in the court in the early morning of the 9th.
...Bowyer, the young man in Mr. McCarthy's employ was out at different times up Miller's-court on the Thursday night for the purpose of getting water from a tap there-the only available supply.Indeed, Bowyer vistited that spot as late-or, rather, as early-as three o'clock on the morning of the murder.......
........ Early on Friday morning Bowyer saw a man, whose description tallies with that of the supposed murderer. Bowyer has, he says, described this man to Inspector Abberline and Inspector Reid.
The Echo Wed. Nov. 14 1888
But we dont know for sure what if anything realtive is missing. The issue here seems to revolve around Millers Court and who did what, or who said what.
Ok, so if we are specifically talking about Millers Court, then what reason do we have to accuse any tenant of lying?
After Hutchinson came forward on the 12th, this paragraph was widely published on the morning of the 14th. So it looks like the police went back to Millers Court to re-interview the tenants on the 13th.
"Although no evidence was produced at the inquest as to her having left her room after one o'clock, at which time she was heard singing, the police have obtained statements from several persons who reside in Millers Court, that she was out of her house and in Dorset street between two and three o'clock. It appears almost certain that her life was taken about the last named hour."
None of these statements have survived, along with the hundreds of statements taken in the house-to-house search of Dorset St. & adjacent thoroughfares conducted over that first weekend after the murder.
So, in this very small corner of the case we can see hundreds of statements have disappeared which could throw a lot of light on the comings and goings of people in the critical hours leading up to the murder.
At the end of the day does it matter. Even if the real truth was before us would it have that much of an impact on the outcome of the case, would it help solve the case. No it wouldn't,...
Solving the case is a different matter, for a different discussion. More information would help cut down on the self-serving accusations thrown at witnesses for lying.
It's getting pretty bad when two posters can't even agree on how to identify a point of contention.

Hi RJ,
"Why it took Arnold an additional two hours and 15 minutes to personally arrive and announce this decision, I have no idea. That's what I've been pondering."
Lord Mayor's Day was chosen for the Millers Court murder because London was sealed off for the occasion. Dozens upon dozens of roads were closed off to wheeled traffic, including Scotland Yard.
Two hours from Westminster to Spitalfields with road closures wouldn't be unusual even now. Arnold may well have decided "the dogs aren't coming, but I'll be there in under an hour, why bother 'calling'", only to be then delayed by an hour plus. If he was calling to a fixed line it should be considered how long the runners at each end would take to forward the message (yes, I watched Tora Tora Tora over Christmas where the Japanese ultimatum arrived over an hour late from their embassy despite prior planning)
Well that doesn't take a rocket scientist to work that one out does it the police would have taken statements from witnesses in Millers Court as soon as practical after the body was found, and if she was out and about at that time then it adds more weight to Hutchinsons account of meeting her at about 2am, and her death occurring soon afterwards, and the perosm seen with her was likely as not her killer
It would seem that following the Hutchinson disclosure or perhaps even before it was made public. Thomas Bowyers says this, which would also seem to corroborate Hutchinsons statement
The Echo, 14th November, reported him going "out at different times up Millers Court on the Thursday night for the purposes of getting water from a tap there—the only available supply. Indeed, Bowyer visited that spot as late—or, rather, as early—as three o'clock on the morning of the murder. This early visit to the water tap is by no means an infrequent (sic) thing, as Mr. McCarthy's shop, which supplies the wants of a very poor and wretched locality, whose denizens are out at all "hours, late and early, does not at times close until three o'clock in the morning, while occasionally it is open all night. Early on Friday morning Bowyer saw a man whose description tallies with that of the supposed murderer. Bowyer has, he says, described this man to Inspector Abberline and Inspector Reid."
But the material statements can be verified from the inquest testimony. I recently posted a post where I stated that the police would not have taken hundreds of statements, they would have only taken statements from anyone who could offer material evidence. The practice of taking negative statements is a more modern day police procedure,
So are you trying to say that from your perspective no witnesses lied throughout the whole series of murders? If witnesses were lying then solving the case is impossible, which is the case whichever way you choose to assess and evaluate all that there is to be found on the case.
Some people want to argue for the sake of arguing, that's part of ripperology and most of those that do so are seasoned researchers who are fixated with a specific theory, or they have opinions that no matter what is said, or presented, they will defend their corner come what may. Part of the problem is that they are not able to assess and evaluate what is evidence and what is not, and put to much reliance on newspaper reports to prop up theories.
In the case of Kelly who was the last person to see her alive? Hutchinson, can his police statement be dismissed? Is there any corroboration to his statement? Yes from Bowyer as mentioned above, or was he lying. What happened before with all the other witnesses it somewhat academic in the grand scheme of things if Hutchinson and Bowyer are to be believed. and I know many do not want to believe Hutchinson but in the absence of anything to prove he was lying his police statement will stand for all eternity

Hutchinson's presence in the vicinity of Miller's Court at the time he says he was there may be corroborated by proxy, but there appears to be nothing that corroborates the details he gave in his statement about Mary's approach to him, her meeting with another man moments later or the man himself.
What other reports/statements, if any, have details that either match or join up with the statements made by Hutchinson?

Right, and Bowyer's disclosure was also published the same day as the results of the renewed inquiry of the Millers Court residents. Bowyer seems to confirm this 2nd attempt in questioning witnesses because he makes reference to speaking to Abberline & Reid.
So possibly, Abberline & Reid among others returned to the court as the article implies.
But the material statements can be verified from the inquest testimony. I recently posted a post where I stated that the police would not have taken hundreds of statements, they would have only taken statements from anyone who could offer material evidence.

How do the police know what constitutes material evidence until they begin their investigation?
Lets not forget, the only witness statements that have survived were the few selected by the Coroner. The rest remained in the police files and have not survived.
So are you trying to say that from your perspective no witnesses lied throughout the whole series of murders?
I think you know what I'm saying - don't accuse a witness of lying unless you can provide an alternate account of their story from another source.
Not agreeing with their story is no justification to accuse them of lying.
Part of the problem is that they are not able to assess and evaluate what is evidence and what is not, and put to much reliance on newspaper reports to prop up theories.
There's nothing wrong with newspaper reports if you know the difference between reliable inquest coverage, debatable witness statements, and questionable journalistic hyperbole.
In the case of Kelly who was the last person to see her alive? Hutchinson, can his police statement be dismissed? Is there any corroboration to his statement? Yes from Bowyer as mentioned above, or was he lying. What happened before with all the other witnesses it somewhat academic in the grand scheme of things if Hutchinson and Bowyer are to be believed. and I know many do not want to believe Hutchinson but in the absence of anything to prove he was lying his police statement will stand for all eternity[/B]
Whether you believe Hutchinson was the last person to see Kelly alive or not we have sufficient cause to accept Kelly was out on the streets between 2:00 and 3:00 o'clock Friday morning. Hutchinson, Bowyer, Kennedy & the press account of police returning to Millers Court. They can't all be lying, they can't all be wrong.
Sarah Lewis, in her inquest testimony we only read that she saw...
"another young man with a woman passed along".
In the more detailed press coverage of her walk down Dorset Street, we read more about this other couple, the woman (like Kelly) being the worse for drink. The couple walked up the court (like Astrachan & Kelly) while the man standing opposite the court looked on.
Various papers offered selective coverage.
"The man was looking up the court; he seemed to be waiting or looking for some one. Further on there was a man and woman - the later being in drink."
Daily Telegraph.
"He was looking up the court as if he was waiting for some one. I also saw a man and a woman who had no hat on and were the worse for drink pass up the court."
Daily News.
"The man was alone, and was not talking to anyone. He was tall and "a stout looking man." He had dark clothes on. A young man went along with a young woman."
Morning Advertiser.
At the inquest no-one knew the value of her seeing this tipsy female with no hat accompanied by a man. Lewis did not know Mary Kelly so she couldn't tell the court who she had seen.
The importance of the couple she saw pass up the court only became apparent after Hutchinson came forward with his story.
There exists a longstanding resistance on these boards to accepting what Hutchinson said could be true. Which is why some try to interpret what Lewis saw differently.

From Hot Dogs to Sushi, the Greatest Moments in Baseball-Park Food History
How the Dodger Dog Got Its Name, Who Started the Barbecue Craze and Where 10-Cent Beer Night Caused Riots
By E.J. Schultz. Published on July 12, 2012.
As Major League Baseball begins the season's second half, we here at Ad Age feel that it is a time for reflection not on the game but on the food and drinks served at the game.
A lot has changed over the years -- sushi, anyone? -- but a lot hasn't. Is there a better place to enjoy a cold beer and hot dog? Of course, you pay more for that pleasure each year, it seems. The average price of a small beer at MLB stadiums jumped from $5.81 last year to $6.16 this year, with the priciest at Marlins Park in Miami at $8, according to The Street .
Here's a look at some great, and not-so-great, moments in baseball-park food and drink history:
1906: The history of the American hot dog is shrouded in mystery and conflicting accounts. But one legend says hot dogs first appeared at baseball games in the early 1900s, when the guy who ran ice cream and soft drink concessions for the New York Giants, Harry Mosley Stevens (an Ohio native), put wieners on a bun because people did not want to eat ice cream in the cool April air. Well, that 's what the Ohio Historical Society says, noting it was either 1901 or 1906, so we'll go with that and pick 1906.
1908: Quick, what is the only brand name in "Take Me Out to the Ballgame?" It's Cracker Jack , of course. The snack, now owned by PepsiCo's Frito-Lay, remains a ballpark staple.
1953: St. Louis' Sportsman's Park is renamed Busch Stadium when Anheuser-Busch buys the Cardinals. Today, like most ballparks, the new Busch stadium sells all kinds of craft brews, including non A-B brands.
1962: The now-famous Dodger Dog is born. According to LA Weekly, it was invented by Dodger Stadium concessions manager Thomas Arthur, who originally called it a "foot-long dog." Problem was that it was only 10 inches, so he came up with the new name.
1974: The Cleveland Indians hold 10-cent beer night. The result: mass drunkenness and rioting.
1980: Ad Age surveys hot dog promotions across 26 MLB parks. Among our findings: Medford Meats gives a free hot dog to all women at a Phillies game on Flag Day. God bless America.
1984: Marge Schott buys the Cincinnati Reds. A polarizing figure known for her ever-present St. Bernard, "Schottzie," she was personally invested in keeping the price of stadium hot dogs at $1. She gave up ownership in 1999 and died in 2004. Today you can still find $1 hot dogs at Reds games -- but only in the upper deck.
1992: Oriole Park at Camden Yards opens in Baltimore, inspiring a wave of "retro" parks. Food-wise, the park is best known for Boog's Barbeque, which sparked nationwide trend of ballpark barbeque cuisine, according to the authors of "The Ultimate Baseball Road-Trip: A Fan's Guide to Major League Stadiums." The authors a few years ago named Boog's to their list of top ten ballpark treats, which also includes shrimp tacos at Petco Park in San Diego and a grilled salmon sandwich at Safeco Field in Seattle.
1995: Coors Field opens in Denver along with the Sandlot Brewery inside the stadium, where Blue Moon beer is invented.
2000: Pacific Bell Park opens in San Francisco and the smell of garlic fries fills the air. Now called AT&T Park, today's concession choices include a California wine bar, clam chowder, crab sandwich and an antipasto bar.
2009: The new Yankee Stadium opens. The team boasts that the ballpark has five times the cooking capacity of the old stadium, with choices including a Boar's Head made-to-order sandwich stand, Cuban sandwiches, Asian noodle bowls and sushi.
2011: The White Sox unveil Bacardi Cafe at Cellular Field, competing with the crosstown Captain Morgan's Club that is next to Wrigley Field. Also available at Sox games: a two-pound Nacho Helmet for $11.50, served in a souvenir Sox helmet.
2012: Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium hosts the All-Star Game. A food vender estimates that fans would munch on 40,000 hot dogs, 7,200 soft pretzels, 2,400 pounds of brisket and 1,800 pounds of pulled pork. We are still waiting for an estimate on how much antacid was sold the next day.

He is a former reporter for McClatchy newspapers, including the Fresno Bee, where he covered business and state government and politics.


We have had an extremely exciting last two days with a visit from author Mary Evans and her 'Story Stew'. Mary's enthusiasm and passion for creative writing rubbed off on all the children with a whole school launch and then workshops for every class. Mary also signed copies of her books after school which were so popular she sold every last one! The children are now all looking forward to writing fantastic stories, inspired by Mary, and becoming authors themselves!

Kind-hearted man returns disabled boy's stolen access ramp after seeing it on Facebook
Stockton Samaritan returns disabled boy's stolen access ramp
By Richard Bellis RBellisEcho Senior Reporter (Teesside)
A KIND-HEARTED man has come to the rescue after a disabled child had his access ramp stolen.
Natalie Roberts who lives with her disabled 5-year-old son in Stockton was devastated when she found that his access ramp had been stolen.
5-year-old Harley suffers from cerebral palsy and relies on his wheelchair to get around.
The access ramp was vital for him to get in and out of the house, with it gone the family had to lift his chair up to get him in.
Mrs Robert said: "I had a hospital appointment on Saturday morning, and I noticed it had gone.
"I asked my auntie whether she had seen it or moved it and she hadn't
"It became obvious to me that someone had taken it.
"Our CCTV was down but our neighbours down the road showed us their CCTV.
"I saw them take it on the footage and called the police and put a post out on Facebook."
The access ramp was stolen and put on to Facebook Marketplace for £40. It had a lot of interest from people, many of whom were looking for an access ramp themselves.

The ramp was purchased by 'Anthony Mobility Stockton' a Facebook page dedicated to selling access equipment.
Mrs Roberts added: "As soon as I posted it, it got so many shares and I had people coming to me saying they had seen the people who stole it and they had seen it on the marketplace.
"Harley was really upset, and he asked me where it had gone, I found it so hard to answer him. I just said we will find it, it will turn up.
"If it was a bike, it wouldn't bother me, but because it's my disabled child's way of getting in and out of our house it has really bothered me.
"Anthony who bought it, bought it for his business but he saw my Facebook post and realised that he had our ramp.
"He got in contact with us and came to our house. As soon as he brought it out, I instantly recognised it.
"I don't think it would have been that way if it didn't get so much traction on Facebook, with the entire community sharing it.
"This story has a happy ending."
The ramp was returned a few days later and Harley can once again access the house.

Facebook Leak Reveals How Company Decides Whether To Remove Content
KatarzynaBialasiewiczThinkstock
An extensive leak of Facebook's internal content moderation guidelines has revealed the criteria the company uses to determine whether to remove violent, hateful, and offensive material from its site. The company's team is reportedly "overwhelmed" with work.
The documents were obtained by the Guardian and comprise over 100 internal training manuals designed to educate moderators on how to treat sensitive content. Topics discussed within the files include hate speech, terrorism, violence, racism, pornography, and even cannibalism.
The so-called "Facebook Files" reveal for the first time Facebook's internal stance on the need to moderate different kinds of content. They present the company's organization as lacking in cohesion and occasionally chaotic. Apparently, due to a lack of time, insiders described the rules as "inconsistent" and "peculiar."
With millions of reports to review each week, Facebook's team of moderators reportedly have mere seconds to spend on each piece of content. Employees who talked to the Guardian said they have "just 10 seconds" to make decisions on revenge porn material. There isn't enough time to fully comprehend the complexities of the situation or carefully consider a wider context.
The strange inconsistencies in Facebook's guidelines are evident across the different content sections covered by the documents. Comments like "Someone shoot Trump" are banned because they represent a "credible threat" to a head of state. In contrast, "f*** off and die" or specific descriptions of how to "snap a b****'s neck" are acceptable because they apparently lack credibility.

Facebook allows images of animal abuse to be distributed on its platform unless the material is "extremely upsetting." In this instance, it should be labeled as "disturbing." Non-sexual physical abuse of children is permitted as long as it's not sadistic or celebratory. The company will also tolerate videos of violent deaths because they can increase awareness of issues including mental health problems.
Some moderators told the Guardian that Facebook has "grown too big" and "cannot keep control of its content." With over 2 billion users, the company has been forced to realize it doesn't have enough employees to keep tabs on every piece of content.
Echoing CEO Mark Zuckerberg's comments earlier this year, Monika Bickert, Facebook's head of global policy management, told the newspaper that the company internally struggles to agree on where to draw the line. Facebook has to represent every user on its platform, covering a diverse range of cultures and communities worldwide. This leads to the issues that see it allow the sharing of material that may be offensive in some regions.
"We have a really diverse global community and people are going to have very different ideas about what is OK to share," Bickert said. "No matter where you draw the line there are always going to be some grey areas."
She added that Facebook feels "very accountable" for its content and is continuing to invest in technologies to protect its users.

The documents have revealed Facebook's ongoing efforts to gain control of the controversial content published every day to its site. It is so far resisting calls from governments and campaigners that are seeking to impose external regulations. The documents and insider reports suggest the company is at its breaking point, though, reaching the limits of its capacity.
The leak has attracted the attention of a range of different organizations. There have been calls from all quarters for the company to increase its transparency and start talking more about the procedures it follows. Some have suggested the company should officially release its moderator guidelines, allowing users to see beneath the curtain and understand the content they're exposed to online.
"Facebook's decisions about what is and isn't acceptable have huge implications for free speech," digital rights campaigners the Open Rights Group said to BBC News. "These leaks show that making these decisions is complex and fraught with difficulty."
Facebook recently hired 3,000 more community moderators to help police its platform. However, the 10-second decision time revealed by its existing employees suggests these new workers won't do much to solve the problem. As it faces criticism from regulators, free speech groups, and safety organizations, Facebook's current approach may not last much longer.

VANCOUVER, CANADA CELEBRATES A DECADE OF MARRIAGE EQUALITY
The cake is decorated, champagne flutes are full and loved ones are gathering to celebrate this memorable occasion. No, we're not talking about Valentine's Day. Today, Tourism Vancouver is joining the nation in celebrating 10 years of marriage equality across Canada and 12 years in British Columbia!
Since 2005, same-sex marriage has been the law of the land across Canada. But over in the beautiful west coast city of Vancouver, B.C., guys legally started marrying guys, and gals marrying gals back in 2003.
"Tourism Vancouver is thrilled to celebrate this incredible milestone with the local and visiting LGBT community," said Candice Gibson, manager of Consumer Marketing. "Vancouver has proudly celebrated 12 years of marriage equality, and what sets us apart is that we don't just market our city as a gay-friendly destination - it goes beyond that. Diversity of all kinds is welcomed here. It's organic to Vancouver's culture and lifestyle. Combine that with the city's stunning scenery and array of outdoor and urban experiences, and it makes Vancouver the ultimate getaway for people of all walks of life."
To celebrate these marriage milestones, Tourism Vancouver gives you 12 ways to keep the love alive in Vancouver - one for each year of marriage equality.
1. Toast to true love at the Vancouver International Wine Festival. One of North America's largest wine festivals, the event features more than 170 participating wineries, 1,750-plus wines on pour and over 50 festival events (including wine seminars, winery dinners and an assortment of lunches and brunches at Vancouver's top restaurants and hotels). February 20 to March 1.
2. Experience cherry pink Vancouver. Come spring, more than 40,000 cherry trees announce the end of winter by blanketing Vancouver's streets with delicate petals. Take a romantic stroll through Vancouver's array of colourful gardens, have a picnic under a lush canopy of blossoms or check out the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival's diverse selection of events. April 2 to 29.
3. Delight your taste buds at the Spot Prawn Festival. During one of the tastiest events of the year, enjoy cooking demos by Vancouver's top chefs, live entertainment, local wines, and a mouthwatering spot prawn boil. Takes place in May.
4. It's all about jazz, baby. The Vancouver International Jazz Festival celebrates its 30th anniversary with what's sure to be one of its biggest years yet. Kicking off with a special performance by Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett in May, the festival draws more than 560,000 attendees annually. This year's festival will feature 1,800-plus artists - ranging from the globe's best jazz, funk and Latin to fusion and world music - at 300 concert venues across the city. June 18 to July 1.
5. Couples who sweat together, stay together. Host city of the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, Vancouver is the perfect destination for couples keen on athletic pursuits. Top events in 2015 include the BMO Vancouver Marathon (May 3), lululemon SeaWheeze (August 15), RBC GranFondo (September 12) and Rock 'n' Roll Marathon (October 25).
6. Fireworks, Pride and one heck of a party. It's no secret that Vancouver Pride is one of the best times of year for LGBT travellers to come to Vancouver. Visitors and locals - gay and straight alike - flock to a variety of events, including the 37th annual Pride Parade (August 2), which draws more than 650,000 attendees annually, followed by the ocean-side Pride Festival at Sunset Beach. But the cherry on top of this action-packed week is the annual Honda Celebration of Light fireworks competition, the largest offshore fireworks competition in the world (July 25, 29 and August 1).
7. Bare it all. Oil up and hit the sand at Wreck Beach. Canada's first and largest clothing-optional stretch of sand, Wreck Beach has been named one of the top 10 nude beaches in the world. Drop by in August to take part in the annual Wreck Beach Bare Buns Run - just make sure you get your base tan first.
8. Immerse yourself in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood North. Vancouver - also known as Hollywood North - is a hotbed for television and film production. Recent credits include Fifty Shades of Grey, Once Upon a Time, and the soon-to-launch Tomorrowland, as well as old favourites like The Twilight Saga, The L Word and X-Files. Take your sweetie on a self-guided tour of your favourite show or indulge in some celebrity spotting at the city's celebrity-favoured hotels, restaurants and bars.
9. Calling all culture lovers. There's more to Vancouver than just beautiful scenery - it's also home to a thriving culture scene. Start in the downtown core at the Vancouver Art Gallery and Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art. After, check out the under-the-radar Rennie Gallery in Chinatown, and then hop a bus to the UBC Museum of Anthropology. Continue along the city's beaches, parks and seawall to check out the Vancouver Biennale's 30-plus outdoor sculptures. And if you're still craving culture, come back in November for the annual Eastside Culture Crawl.
10. Ready, set, showtime! From razzle dazzle Broadway hits to theatre en plein air, Vancouver is a hotbed for incredible year-round performances. This year's highlights include Broadway Across Canada's The Book of Mormon (April 7 to 12) and ONCE (November 17 to 22), Firehall Art Centre's PROUD (April 5 to 25), and Arts Club Theatre's Godspell (June 18 to August 1). Come summertime, crowds flock to catch popular outdoor performances, such as Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival (June 4 to September 26) and Theatre Under the Stars (mid-July through August).
11. Bring the kids. Vancouver is home to hundreds of kid-friendly outdoor and indoor activities, interactive museums, cool attractions and amazing parks. Insider's tip: Treat your kids to the Vancouver International Children's Festival, May 25 to 31. This festival for kids of all ages features live music, charming puppetry, thrilling acrobatics and inspiring theatre.
12. Renew your "I do's" with a view. Renew your vows atop Grouse Mountain where your guests will enjoy stunning views of the expansive ocean and city 3,700 feet below. For those wanting to stay closer to the water, the legendary Teahouse in Stanley Park offers sublime views of lush greenery and nearby English Bay.
