Flavors of New Orleans Arrive at Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory at Disney's Port Orleans Resort
by Rachel Bshero, Food & Beverage Marketing Communications Coordinator
A hidden gem at Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter, Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory has reopened after being reimagined, and has added even more flavors inspired by New Orleans to their menu, including jambalaya, po' boys, gumbo, and more.
Home-style favorites such as create-your-own pasta, salads and pizza are still available for lunch and dinner, in addition to new flavors inspired by New Orleans. Specialty burgers include a Cajun King Burger with Andouille sausage, Cheddar Cheese and Creole mustard aioli and a Crawfish Mac & Cheese Burger. Enjoy Jambalaya or a create-your-own rice bowl with pulled pork, catfish or shrimp, red or black beans, and Cajun, dirty or white rice. Po' Boys will also be served catfish, shrimp or beef topped with lettuce, tomato and remoulade.
For dinner, enjoy new entrees like prime rib, pork rack, roasted sustainable fish, fried chicken and BBQ ribs with your choice of sides—including Mache Choux, collard greens, mashed potatoes, glazed carrots, mac and cheese, macaroni salad and red beans and rice.
New breakfast items have also been added to the menu, and include Crispy-Fried Chicken on a Biscuit with maple-bacon jam, Molasses-Cream Cheese Cinnamon Roll, House-made Coffee Cake, Jumbo Sweet Potato Belgian Waffle topped with toasted pecans, whipped cream and apple-cranberry compote, Cajun Grit Bowl with Shrimp and soft-poached eggs, a Breakfast Po' Boy with scrambled eggs, Andouille sausage, and sautéed peppers and onions, Pain Perdu, a French toast made with a baguette and warm fruit topping.
Signature made-to-order beignets are now available with new dipping sauces, including raspberry, caramel and chicory-coffee ganache. Or take your dessert over the top with a decadent hand-dipped gelato sundae in a beignet bowl. Other new desserts include a warm Chocolate-Caramel Bread Pudding and house-made Pecan Pralines. Of course, no visit to "The Big Easy" would be complete without a Louisiana-style King Cake, perfect for celebrating Mardi Gras anytime.
Laissez les bons temps rouler when the new menu debuts November 19 at Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory!

Any hope for monte christos from Cafe Orleans/Blue Bayou?

We are arriving at POFQ on the 27th of this month – so happy they have re-opened the restaurant – will it still be quick service?
Richard on November 18, 2016 at 3:32 pm
As someone who was born and raised in New Orleans I'm very excited to see the menu change!! The little bundt cakes and beignets are adorable and the menu has a vision and theme that I think was greatly lacking before. The previous items were a poor excuse for Louisiana cooking!
However, where the sides were listed I'm pretty sure you mean to say"maque choux" not "mache"choux (that isn't a thing) 🙂
Molly on November 18, 2016 at 11:13 pm
I can't wait to experience the new menu. POFQ is our favorite resort. I'm planning a trip for 2018 but may have to make a short trip in 2017 because I can't wait to see all the updates!

Can the rice bowl be done vegan style? Is a vegan burger a "meat" choice for the power salad?

A planner is a gift you give yourself on your wedding day so treat yo'self!
The wedding world can be a very tricky one to navigate and you don't want to start by blindly entering things into your Google Search box!

We hope you will use us as a resource to find vendors that will fit your style, your budget, and your needs.

For this reason we are here to fight for you and be your biggest advocate throughout the process!
We are here to answer the tough questions! If you wake up at three in the morning freaking out about any aspect of the biggest day of your life, shoot us a text, email, or give us a call and we will do our very best to put you at ease. When in doubt, call your planner!

Recently I found myself at a bit of a crossroads. Horologically I mean, as I was having trouble with a new discovery I had made. You see, I had just been slapped across the face by something entirely unexpected. Unexpected by me at least and I needed to come to terms with the fact that I may have been wrong if this new development was to be accepted as reality.
For years I have fawned and drooled over all sorts or horology, with a great many brands capturing my attention and securing my lust. In the past I could name at least 50 brands and a couple of hundred different watches that I desired at any one moment or another. These days there is no way I could possibly remember all the pieces that I want; there are simply too many.
Having such wide tastes and enjoying so many different things about different brands and their watches, a few – over time – have managed to sneak through and become almost permanent residents of my "Couldn't Care Less" list (CCL).
In some cases, I didn't care for the design, in others I didn't see the appeal of the brand, and with others still I could never place my finger on why they just rubbed me the wrong way. Some of these brands have moved off the list as I learned more, but others sit there still, waiting for a change of heart but with little hope of them inciting any real passion in me.
So imagine my surprise when SIHH 2014 rolls around and one of the longer running members of my CCL list debuts a new model that not only blows my socks off design-wise, but features an outstanding movement to appease my inner horology nerd. The brand that I had largely ignored for so long is the wildly popular, yet extremely divisive Officine Panerai.
Before any Paneristi threaten to kidnap me, let me tell you why Panerai was on my CCL list. The first reason, and probably the biggest, is that I am just not a fan of cushion-shaped watches.
There, I said it. The shape just isn't something I prefer, and I tend not to be impressed by new models from many brands that go with this case shape.
The second, and smaller reason, is that Panerai stays very true to its roots (a good thing, mind you) and doesn't necessarily evolve in terms of designs very much, meaning a relatively consistent flavor that can't grow on you because it always stays the same.
Now you can see that my reasons are ENTIRELY subjective and of personal preference, and doesn't really reflect on the brand or the quality of the timepieces. I just never thought that Panerai could produce something that would make me extremely enthusiastic.
Finally I had a reason to be as passionate about this brand as its devoted followers are. I never really spoke negatively of Panerai, on the contrary, I have always said that its watches are well-made with a strong design. I just hadn't caught the bug yet.
But that changed with the new Radiomir 1940 Chronograph. While I still might pass on their other pieces, this new limited edition takes the brand where I had hoped it might one day tread. And in reality, it's also where many of the Paneristi might not like it going.
Panerai, as I mentioned before, stays very true to its roots and doesn't play around with fads or trends, opting to remain on a resolute path of assured success. This is why it is so popular and at the same time so divisive, because those that love these watches love everything about them, and those that haven't caught the bug won't ever find something to enjoy when nothing dramatically different happens.
It's a tricky niche to be in, but one that is working out very well for Panerai. With the release of the Radiomir 1940 Chrono, the brand departs a fair amount from its tradition to create a vintage-inspired piece that makes the best attempt yet to break the mold and try something different.
The L.E. Radiomir 1940 Chronograph has a set of dials, as each of the three models tries something a little different. All the dials feel a lot more vintage than anything to date. My favorite dial comes from the white gold version, the PAM 520, where the traditional slots are reduced to a minimum and crisp little holes offer themselves as what could be a new standard for sandwich dials. Also, the large cutout numerals are gone, replaced by a double chapter ring on the exterior, one of them for the minutes with the other becoming the tachymeter scale.
This is the first time this style of dial ornamentation has been used for Panerai (if I understand it properly), and for me it goes so much further in creating visual interest. While I subjectively dislike style solutions such as the cushion-shaped case or, in terms of other brands, two-tone cases and bracelets (gold and silver just don't mate well in that respect for me), I have always held a soft spot for pre-1960s chronographs with scales and chapter rings.
Something about them screams functionality and precision, which in many cases could save your life. My favorite, to this day, are the old spiraling telemeter scales used by soldiers and weather forecasters to judge distance simply using sound and elapsed time.
For that reason this design spoke so strongly to me, it actually reminds me of a vintage piece that I would lust after. It is basically what Panerai would have done if it had followed its contemporaries' style in the 1940s. The Paneristi are glad, I'm sure, that it didn't follow the herd, but I see it as a missed opportunity to have had this watch for more than seventy years.
It must be taken into consideration, however, that Panerai didn't build watches for the public; instead it only produced tool watches for the Italian Navy, which means that Panerai watches were always, first and foremost, tools to be used. I can appreciate this as a fellow tool nerd.
The design of the new L.E. Radiomir 1940 Chrono is amazing, but what actually sealed the deal for me was what was inside. It is nothing other than a legendary Minerva-based column-wheel chronograph movement finished to very nice standards. To be frank, I flipping love column-wheel chronograph movements. The cam and lever or coulisse chronograph movements are very good, but they just don't offer the same satisfaction as a finely adjusted column wheel. And this movement and its construction are among the best in the industry. It's only a few steps and processes away from being able to compete with the king of beautiful chronograph movements: the A. Lange und Söhne Datograph.
Originally modified and adjusted by Panerai into its own OP XXV caliber, the movement has a depth and complexity that I love staring at, and if it weren't for a dial that is as stimulating as this one, I would probably wear the watch backward every day of the week. It would be case back Thursday every day for me.
So with the addition of this incredible movement, the subdued and very classic styling of the case and dial without Panerai's standard "toolish" details, this watch shocked me, and by the response it got, many other enthusiasts as well.
I think Panerai is on the right track with this piece, though I doubt it will create a major change for the brand, which has such an incredibly devoted fan base. If anything, it allows the non-Paneristi to understand the passion, at least for a little while. Here I sit proclaiming my lust for Panerai, something I never thought I would do. But things can always change for the better, and this is definitely a good sign to me!
• Wowza Factor * 7.99 That's a full 6.4 higher than anything I would have guessed a Panerai could do to me…consider me humbled!
• Late Night Lust Appeal * 29.234 gn » 286.688m/s2 Almost six times the g-load for a Formula 1 car, the Radiomir 1940 Chronograph surprisingly had me lusting well into the wee-hours of the morning.
• M.G.R. * 53.95 Beautiful Minerva based column-wheel chronograph movement, always going to be relatively geeky!
• Added-Functionitis * Cause For Concern Having a chronograph is an extremely useful added function, so I would have to advise the extra-strength tube of Gotta-HAVE-That cream for its inspiring swelling.
• Ouch Outline * 9.25 – Accidentally being exposed to large caliber gunfire without hearing protection Some people don't realize how loud, and damaging, the miniature explosion from a firearm is. It's something exploding…and then breaking the sound barrier right next to your face. It hurts, and yet….? Totally worth it to strap this to my wrist.
• Mermaid Moment * Realizing They Proved You Wrong When you get proven wrong in such an enjoyable way (you know, by loving the thing that makes you incorrect) then you fall under its spell pretty quickly.
• Awesome Total * 828 Multiply the size of the case by the fifty-five hour power reserve, then divide by the number of models. And then add the number of models for good measure.


Disclosure: Today's post for Cranberry Brussels Salad with Bacon Vinaigrette is sponsored by The National Pork Board. All recipes, photos, and opinions remain -as always- my own.
It's Brussels sprouts season and all the people say hooray! Well, okay, at least the Brussels sprouts fans around the world say hooray. And of us there are many. Everyone knows Brussels sprouts are awesome roasted and stir-fried, but did you know they're also incredible shaved in a slaw type salad? Specifically, they're amazing in a crisp tender shaved slaw with tart, sweet dried cranberries, smoky, crisp bacon, and a warm bacon vinaigrette.
Cranberry Brussels Salad is amazing right after it's made when it's still slightly warm, but it's equally wonderful after being stashed in the refrigerator for a couple of days. Lately, I've been making double batches of the shaved Brussels salad with bacon vinaigrette so my guys and I can eat off of it for a couple of days. It sings alongside roast turkey, ham, and beef, but it also makes an excellent light lunch all by itself.
With its festive green and red colours, you're going to want to have this quick and easy side dish on your Thanksgiving table this year. Maybe your Christmas table, too!
You have to use fresh Brussels sprouts for this recipe. There's no getting around it. Frozen sprouts just won't do the job.
When it comes to slicing the Brussels sprouts, I highly recommend using my favourite food processor (THIS ONE). You'll never find another food processor that slices ANYTHING as thinly as this without the slices falling apart. It's beyond impressive.
Likewise, please use real pork bacon here. Turkey bacon simply will not work. It doesn't have the right taste, texture, or fat for the job. My preference is for thick cut bacon in our Cranberry Brussels Salad with Bacon Vinaigrette.
Speaking of vinaigrette, I prefer apple cider vinegar. I like Bragg's Raw Apple Cider Vinegar the best, but any good cider vinegar will do. If you don't have that handy, you can sub in white wine vinegar.
A word about sugar: I'm going crazy for using coconut sugar these days, but brown sugar or raw sugar will be a perfectly fine sugar to use.
the one and only food processor that I use!
Just in case you're worried that this is difficult, I have a video to show you how very simple it is to make Cranberry Brussels Salad with Bacon Vinaigrette. Check it out!
What will you serve with Cranberry Brussels Salad with Bacon Vinaigrette? Maybe some Smoked Turkey, Slow Cooker Peach Salsa Pork Roast, Curried Beef Oven Stew, or Shrimp and Grits?
Cranberry Brussels Salad with Bacon Vinaigrette: crisp-tender Brussels sprouts with tart, sweet dried cranberries and a warm bacon, green onion vinaigrette.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a half sheet pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Arrange the bacon on the foil. Bake for 12-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the bacon and the crispiness you desire. Immediately transfer the crisped bacon to a paper towel lined plate and then carefully use the foil to pour 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat into a measuring cup. Set the bacon drippings aside. Chop the bacon and set aside.
Fit a food processor with a thin slicing blade. Drop the Brussels sprouts into the feed chute, shaving all of the sprouts. Transfer to a mixing bowl. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the kosher salt over the sprouts and toss with your hands. Scatter the dried cranberries, thinly sliced green onions, and chopped bacon over the shaved sprouts and set aside.
Add the bacon fat, apple cider vinegar, raw sugar, water, remaining salt, and pepper to a stainless steel or other non-reactive saucepan, placed over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, whisk to combine, then immediately pour over the contents of the mixing bowl. Toss to coat. This can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Awwww Rie, you're so good for me!
This salad is calling my name. LOUDLY. It will be happening in my kitchen tomorrow and I can't wait!
Hooray!!!! I hope you love it, too!
Yummy 😋! This is right up my alley!
Obsessed with this salad, thank you for the recipe!
Hi Rebecca! This looks so good — I want to make it as a side to soup for a luncheon. Can you tell me approximately how many this recipe will serve? Many thanks!
Looks delicious! I want to make with my thanksgiving meal. One question, the video shows the dressing made with sugar and water but the recipe calls for Dijon mustard and honey. Can you please provide the measurements for the sugar and water used in the video? Thanks!!
Hey there, LW! Thanks for that catch! The one made for this salad is ever so slightly different than the other hot bacon vinaigrette recipe I have on the blog. I've updated the printable recipe to reflect that this one is made with raw sugar and water. The other one (with honey and Dijon) is equally delicious and just a little different!

Q: Need to make toggle option
I am using select2 plugin for custom combobox and auto complete. Now i need to make toggle like if all select disable to select other option or if i select other option need to hide/clear all option.

Main theme

*

*If select all option clear other optio

$("select").select2({
  tags: "true",
  placeholder: "Select an option",
  allowClear: true,
  width: '100%'
});
.select2-container {
  max-width: 400px;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<select class="custom-select"  multiple="multiple">
  <option selected value="All">All</option>
  <option value="All">Kathmandu</option>
  <option value="All">Pokhara</option>
  <option value="All">Lalitpur</option>
</select>

n
 2. If select other option clear all option
Now i have tried through . Please have a look code and help me

A: I noticed that no one has answered your question. Unfortunately, this features appears to be vacant in the plugin.  But there is always a work around.
Avoiding Recursion
In order to do this you need to invoke a change event to update the select2 container and while also monitoring a change event change the value for the select.  That would cause recursion; so, I added a variable called flagAvoidRecursion.  Basically on the first call of change on our select we set the recursion flag to true.  Then we ignore the following .on("change") invocation and reset our recursion flag.
You need unique values
In order to get this to work, we have to set the value, meaning that every object in the select should have a unique value.
Give it a go:

flagAvoidRecursion = false;
previous = ["All"];
$("select").select2({
  tags: "true",
  placeholder: "Select an option",
  allowClear: true,
  width: '100%'
}).on('change', function () {
  if (flagAvoidRecursion) {
    flagAvoidRecursion = false;
    return;
  }
  value = $(this).val();
  flagAvoidRecursion = true;
  if (value.length === $(".custom-select option").length -1) {
   $(this).val(["All"]);
  } else if (previous.indexOf("All") === -1 && previous.indexOf("All") !== -1) {
   $(this).val(["All"])
  } else if (value.indexOf("All") != -1 && value.length > 1) {
   temp = value;
   temp.splice(temp.indexOf("All"),1)
   $(this).val(temp);
  }
  previous = value;
  $(this).trigger("change");
});
.select2-container {
  max-width: 400px;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/select2/4.0.3/css/select2.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

  <option value="Kathmandu">Kathmandu</option>
  <option value="Pokhara">Pokhara</option>

Berkshire-based PSL Datatrack (www.psldata track.com) offers a flexible modular production control software system designed for both small and medium-size manufacturing businesses.
The system helps companies to manufacture parts right first time, sell them at the right price and deliver on time; it also provides vital information to management and the shopfloor, with users being able to bolt on modules as required to the core software programme.
A new development in the software's Scheduler module allows users to take into account 'lights out' running and varying shift patterns and to plan and maximise the production flow throughout a factory, by ensuring that jobs on the shopfloor are correctly prioritised and the required materials are always available.
The Scheduler automatically sets out each operation to provide a realistic representation of the production work-flow, with dates for each process step calculated on either the target date for an order to be despatched or the available production capacity.
If calculated by target date, the system will report the latest start and end dates for each required operation to complete the job on time.
If calculated by capacity, the system will tell the user the earliest available start and end dates.
An estimated date for the completion of the final operation can then be compared to the target date, providing an early warning of jobs that could potentially be late.
Reports on real-time production status can be generated, and the entire schedule can be instantly recalculated after any action has been taken.
Reports generated through the Scheduler are available in the form of lists and graphs and offer many benefits both to a company's management team (and also to their customers).
For example, the 'Work-To-List' shows the sequence in which operations should be performed within a given cost centre, while graphical reports help with early identification of production bottlenecks and make management aware of potential problems before they arise, enabling informed decisions to be made.
The Scheduler Listing Screen provides fast flexible filtering of production operation records and shows information such as outstanding quantity and hours remaining, while the Shop Floor Data Collection module provides a record of the progress made throughout each operation of a process.
It collects production information from the shopfloor to automatically update the Scheduler without manually retyping any information.

From Field to Boardroom - Leadership Lessons
by Brian MacAuley on 24th October 2018
Dame Mary Peters and Presenter Adrian Logan
Dame Mary Peters reckons that 'Humility' and 'Determination' are the main ingredients that make up any leader worth their salt, and with 1 Olympic Gold and 2 Commonwealth Games Gold medals up her sleeve we're not about to argue. But why should business leaders look to the field for inspiration when it comes to leadership?
There are unquestionable parallels between leadership on the field and leadership in business. Teams and individual athletes work hard to achieve a shared goal, not just for themselves but for their fans, shareholders, funders, for the stability of the future of their sport etc. As fans we get to share in the successes and failures. For businesses the scenario is almost identical… Business leaders work hard to achieve a shared goal for all stakeholders, for the security of the business and their employees' futures and for investors. In a world where people increasingly want to buy from people they trust, businesses with good leaders demand a type of civic pride from their loyal followers who want to see them do well.
Let's face it, no leader in sports ever got to where they are by having a fleeting interest in their sport! Instead, they dedicated years of their lives to it, to be the best they could be and to never settling for past success but always striving to do even better. They inspire a whole team of people to do exactly the same. They often say that staff will do anything for a great leader, and just like in on the field, the best business leaders are those who are absolutely committed to making their business the best it can be. They are passionate about the business ethos, the difference the business makes to its customers and to achieving business goals. And, they can find ways to inspire their team to use their skills and abilities to achieve a shared vision and allow them to share in the spoils of success.
Coming back to Dame Mary Peters' notion of humility… the best leaders in both sport and business are those who recognise that success is not down to one person but to the collective effort of the team. By understanding the strengths and weaknesses of every team member, the sports coach and the business leader can empower their teams giving them the tools they need to achieve both their personal and work-related goals so that every member of the team can feel like they contributed to success.
The best leaders in sports seem to have a knack for great communication. They know what they want to achieve, decide about how best that goal can be achieved and communicate it clearly to the athletes, fans and stakeholders. Often, the decision they want to communicate may not be the most popular and they could face personal flack if things don't work out as planned. But by effectively communicating the reasoning behind decisions and by involving stakeholders in the decision-making process, these leaders develop credibility, integrity and commitment, making their team more resilient in the process. Doesn't every business leader want to be able to do just that?!
But the similarities between sports and business leadership don't end there. Instead, every aspect of sports leadership can be aligned with business. There are only so many positions a soccer manager can use and so many rules to abide by, but the great sports leader still finds room for creativity and innovation. In individual sports only one athlete can do the sport but the good manager takes on and delegates the work load to enable the athlete to focus on what they need to do to achieve a shared goal. And the great sports leader always accepts accountability for the team. Likewise, any great leader in business should be able to identify opportunities for innovation, indeed in todays commercial climate no business can survive without it. They should have the skills to delegate work appropriately ensuring their teams are empowered to work in the best way possible to achieve a shared outcome and the great leader will take responsibility for team failures, working with the team to find out what happened, how they can make sure it doesn't happen again and develop ways they can be resilient.
To see how you can learn to be a great leader by taking a leaf from the sports industry, book your ticket now for The Business of Leadership, Round 2, at the Junction, Dungannon, on 28th November 2018. You'll hear from sporting heroes including Dame Mary Peters, Mervyn White, Mossy Quinn and Rory Best. Tickets on sale on Eventbrite

Albion were unable to stop the Championship leaders Wolves heading closer to a return to the Premier League as they went down 3-1 on a wintry afternoon at Molineux.
A brace of goals from Benik Afobe following on from Helder Costa's opener after a quarter of an hour ultimately sealed victory for Wolves although Lloyd Dyer's deflected effort just before half time briefly got Albion in with a shout at 2-1.
As the snow swirled around the West Midlands it was not an afternoon for pretty football but it was not enough to prevent Nuno Espirito Santo's side being too hot to handle.
Brewers boss Nigel Clough made two changes to his injury hit line-up for the daunting looking trip to Molineux. With Jamie Allen having sustained an ankle problem in Tuesday's defeat at Sheffield United there was a change of formation with a back five deployed and Jake Buxton coming back into the team at the heart of the back line. Up front there was a straight swap as Liam Boyce returned in place of Darren Bent. New signing Tomas Egert was handed a place on the bench just a day after signing a deal until the end of the season.
Wolves started confidently passing the ball around on the part snow covered surface and Ruben Neves was quickly sizing up a shot on goal from all of 25 yards, a dipping effort just dropping over Stephen Bywater's crossbar.
The wind was also causing problems in terms of making flowing football very difficult but on ten minutes a diagonal crossfield ball towards Barry Douglas was fizzed into the penalty area by the Scottish defender and Tom Naylor was mightily relieved to see the ball squirt over his own crossbar as he tried to clear.
It took until the quarter of an hour mark for the Championship leaders to break through and it was fairly routine in truth. Skipper Conor Coady, playing at centre back, pumped the ball forward and as everyone looked for an offside flag against COSTA the Portuguese ran on and calmly slotted it past Bywater.
As the first half reached its halfway mark Boyce almost conjured up an opening for Albion. Surrounded by three defenders the Irishman wriggled his way into the box and dinked in an excellent cross that the Wolves defence were stretched to clear. As the ball was worked around the box Tom Flanagan seemed to be pushed over inside the box but referee Geoff Eltringham either didnt see it or decided it was not worthy of as penalty.
Costa was not in the mood to settle for just the one goal and he took aim on 34 minutes and winning a tussle with Kyle McFadzean but this time his long range effort was never really threatening the Burton goal.
Ivan Cavaleiro forced a good save from Bywater on 37 minutes, the Burton number one having to go full length to his right to cling on to a curling left foot effort from just inside the box as Wolves tried to ram home their advantage before the break.
A loose touch from McFadzean just outside his own box on 39 minutes allowed Romain Saiss to steal possession and send in a first time effort on goal but fortunately for Albion it fizzed wide of the upright.
Wolves finally had their second of the afternoon on 41 minutes. Ruben Neves managed to thread a perfect pass through for the run of AFOBE who ran on and used his power and pace to fire past Bywater into the top corner.
But Albion were not going to lie down and they got one back before the break. Albion won a corner on the right and when the ball came out to the edge of the box DYER was there to drill it back with interest and although John Ruddy got a touch he couldnt prevent it going in.
Albion reappeared for the second half showing two changes. Both Kyle McFadzean and Marvin Sordell failed to come out having picked up knocks in the first half and they were replaced by Luke Varney and Joe Sbarra.
The young midfielder had only been on the pitch for seven minutes when he was yellow carded for a mistimed challenge on Neves that looked worse than it was due to the landing the Portuguese made as he crashed to the turf.
56 minutes had gone when Afobe grabbed his second of the game and effectively put the match out of Albion's reach. It owed much to the persistence of Cavaleiro who worked his way into the box but stumbled as he tried to fashion a shooting opportunity but the ball ran kindly for the ex-Arsenal youngster to sweep home from 15 yards.
He almost had his hat-trick when Doherty ran onto a cute pass from Cavaleiro but was just unable to bundle the ball in at the back post with Flanagan doing his best to shield the ball until Bywater could drop onto it.
Cavaleiro then fired wide after a jinking run across the box and Costa should have made it a brace for himself when he got on the end of another superb pass from Neves with Bywater standing his ground to deny him at close quarters just when when it looked like a fourth goal was an inevitability.
Egert came on in the later stages as Boyce made way and Varney went to spearhead the frontline although Albion were finding it hard to get forwards and support the attack.
The game finished with Jacob Davenport up front after the young midfielder picked up a knock late on and with all substitutions used Varney had to drop back to fill the gap in midfield while the Manchester City youngster moved up top to see out the game.
It was a game that Albion worked hard in but the quality of the league leaders was evident and now it comes down to the final eight games to see whether Albion can salvage their place in the Championship for another season.
BURTON Albion fans wishing to travel to the game at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday will need to buy a ticket by 4pm tomorrow.
The game is all-ticket and there is no option to pay on the day for this fixture.
TICKETS for Burton Albion's trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers on on Saturday 17 March (kick off 3PM) are now on sale.


In medicine, salpingectomy (Greek ektomē, excision) is surgical removal of a Fallopian tube; salpingitis is inflammation of one; salpingostomy (Greek stoma, mouth) is an operation to restore free passage through a blocked one; salpingo-oophoritis (Latin oophoron, ovary) is inflammation of a Fallopian tube and an ovary.
At one time salpingo- could refer to the Eustachian tubes leading from the middle ear to the pharynx, as in salpingo-nasal, though this sense is now obsolete. However, a salpinx can be either a Eustachian tube or a Fallopian tube.


Following the passage of the Dubs Amendment, the Home Office is consulting with local authorities to determine how many unaccompanied children the UK will be able to accept. Since each council's pledge will be determined by its fostering capacity our local Refugee Welcome Team has been working to promote fostering in Redbridge.
We've held an evening to promote fostering to those within our faith communities and to ask the Leader of the Council, Jas Athwal, to pledge to accept five Syrian refugee children. The evening featured presentations from CORAM, Home for Good and Redbridge Council about fostering, as well as testimony from Ernest, who came to the UK as an unaccompanied Albanian refugee, and Farduous, who came here as a Syrian refugee.
Following the action, we took time to evaluate. This was an opportunity to celebrate people who had done well, congratulate individuals who had developed their skills and recognise leaders who had brought others to participate in public life. It was also an invaluable chance to learn specific lessons about community organising. How did you feel? What had gone well? What could we have done better? What had changed as a result of the evening?
My instinctive response to the final question surprised me. It wasn't the answer I or anyone else was expecting. Because the answer was me. I had changed.
Before the fostering event, I and another member of the team went to meet representatives from the council for a pre-negotiation. I came away thinking that we were asking for the impossible. And so before our event I was a nervous wreck – what was I going to do if the Leader of the Council tried to deflect the question or, even worse, refused outright. I wondered, should we ask for something smaller – maybe ask for less children, maybe not even ask him to commit to act at all. But with the encouragement of others on the team, I found the courage to live with the tension and ask anyway.
Justice seeking demanded that I broke free from my concern about looking foolish. It required that I was prepared to fail if the Leader didn't give us what we wanted. I needed to ignore my natural inclination to play it safe and disturb the present to better the future.
Of course, this wasn't all that had changed. Together we had secured a commitment from the Leader of the Council to accept unaccompanied refugee children under the Dubs amendment, although we were disappointed he would not commit to a specific number in contrast to the Leader of the Council in Hammersmith & Fulham, Stephen Cowan, who committed to his borough resettling at least 10 unaccompanied children. Furthermore, we had recruited sixteen potential foster carers. But nonetheless, the change in me is important because it makes me a little bit more who God would have me be.
God's intention is that our justice seeking, our acts of compassion and our rhythms of discipleship are integrated and interconnected; each a vital and connected part of our spiritual formation.
Justice seeking inevitably arises from a frustration with acts of compassion that serve the suffering but don't address the causes of the misery, However, justice seeking should also shape our acts of compassion so we serve in ways that empower and bestow dignity rather than foster dependence. Similarly, while justice seeking is an important expression of our discipleship, it is also a place where we are spiritually formed as God challenges us to change, highlighting the places where our character isn't consistent with the person of Jesus and giving opportunity for the fruit of the Spirit to grow within us.
However, Adele Calhoun reminds us 'experiences don't necessarily bring wisdom, nor do they automatically transform us. We need to listen and reflect on our experiences in the presence of the Holy Spirit to learn from them' (Spiritual Disciplines Handbook 2005: 57). It's important that we take time to pay attention to how our justice seeking is shaping who we are, allowing it to transform us into the image of Christ.
What do you personally find most challenging about justice seeking? Ask God to show you how this might be connected to aspects of your personality where He is leading you to change to become more like Jesus.
Look back over your diary for the last month – how much time have you invested in justice seeking, in acts of compassion and in rhythms of discipleship? Is there a particular area you're not investing in enough?
Since January, when a small group of children were reunited with their families at St Pancras Station, another 178 children have been identified, living in terrible conditions in Calais, who have a right to be reunited with their families here in the UK. Disappointingly, the government has transferred less than 50. Worse still there are 14 waiting for up to 10 weeks, whose travel has been fully approved. It's not good enough.
Join us in calling on the new Immigration Minister, Robert Goodwill to reunite these children with their families by the 25th of August. There's no reason these children shouldn't be here in time to start school. Let's challenge the Minister to find a way and show that we won't take no for an answer.
In addition to this, The Welcome Summit on Saturday 10th September is a gathering for the groups behind the Refugees Welcome movement from right across the country.
It's a moment, one year on from the tragic death of Aylan Kurdi, to come together and celebrate what we've achieved, take stock of the British response to date, and to plan, train and act together to build a more welcoming Britain. We will also use the time to build accountable relationships with key actors, from government ministers to UN agencies, around key issues including the protection of refugee children, development of community sponsorship, and building of strong communities.

"It's not fair" she wailed, lips pouting and chin quivering, "I want to play houses".
With four toddlers already squeezed into the playhouse and two more trying to crawl in through the door, my daughter was not happy with the state of things.
The problem is there just aren't enough houses for everyone.
And that's not just in the make believe world of pretend play. One of the biggest challenges facing our borough is the lack of genuinely affordable housing. As we've listened to the stories of our toddler families, it's become clear that it's a problem that particularly affects families in the borough. Many of the families connected with our Baby Bank are living in temporary accommodation, being moved from one B&B to another, or in cramped hostels, sharing cooking and play spaces with countless other families. Almost all the parents at our Messy Families parenting group named housing as one of the biggest stresses of their family life. For many the only hope of finding more suitable housing is to move outside the borough, away from their jobs and support networks.
So for some time we've been trying to find a way to involve our toddlers and their families in our campaign for more affordable housing in the borough. But this hasn't been easy. Our assemblies with local councillors have usually taken place in the evenings and for many parents the prospect of an over-tired toddler the next day has just been too daunting! So in the lead up to our housing assembly we realised that we needed to get creative to make the children's needs heard.
And getting creative is just what we did! The goal of the assembly was to ask the Leader of the Council to commit to working with Redbridge Citizens to build 250 genuinely affordable homes as part of a Community Land Trust. So we decided to show him what that would look like by asking the children to paint 250 houses to display around the room. Our toddlers love to paint and it made sense to use their skills to give the Councillor a vision of the change we could make together.
We also invited parents to join our "pound4power" action, buying a share of the Community Land Trust for £1 as a sign of the real commitment of real people for the proposal. It wasn't a big ask so parents were happy to sign up, with many buying shares for their children as well. Like the houses, "pound4power" is a reminder to the council that we have power to effect change in our community – people power.
So what have we learned about how our toddler group can change the world?
Listen to what matters to families at the group – ask what puts pressure on their family life and what would make it better.
Focus on what you can do, not what you can't do.
Make the action small enough for little people to get involved, but big enough to get the message across!
Of course, these are just our first steps in justice seeking at toddler group. But as every parent knows, a child's first steps are just the beginning of a whole new adventure!
Do you have any other experiences of getting children involved in justice-seeking? Please share them in the comments below!

The Enchanted Naturalist
Janis Joplin was born and raised through high school in Port Arthur, Texas, just 22 miles south of Beaumont where we had spent the night (along with thousands of Jason Aldeen fans who were in town for a concert of his at the Ford Pavilion). Saturday morning we started the day at the Museum of the Golf Coast in Port Arthur; they have a small section of the museum dedicated to Janis and other musicians who hailed from the area (among them another who died too young, J. P. Richardson, the Big Bopper, who died in a plane crash along with Buddy Holly and Richie Valens).
Port Arthur seems to have fallen on hard times: the downtown area alternates between well-kept and near-derelict, but the people at the museum are hopeful for better times to come. They seemed delighted that we had gone out of our way to come see the museum. Charming people and the museum is much larger and more interesting then one might have imagined.
Continuing east, we rejoined I-10 a few miles later and crossed into Louisiana over the Sabine River. Lunch in Lafayette at Steamboat Bill's: shrimp and crawdads and other delicious morsels. After lunch it occurred to me that we weren't too far from New Iberia, the setting of many of James Lee Burke's novels about detective Dave Robicheaux, so we diverted south off I10 again and headed into Acadian country. Linda explained to me that if you slur the word Aacadian, that's where the word Cajun comes from. Thanks, Mom! All those years of reading Mr. Burke's novels, and I never before made that connection!
New Iberia is similar to Port Arthur in its mixture of well-maintained historical buildings and some down-at-the-heels parts of town. But I enjoyed seeing the home of both fictional Dave Robicheaux and his creator James Lee Burke along the banks of Bayou Teche.
Since we were already well off the beaten path, we decided to head even deeper into southern Louisiana. We ended the day on the shores of Lake Palourde outside of Morgan City at Lake End Park. Filled with people camping, and fishing; feeding ducks and squirrels; enjoying the warm weekend weather. It's a beautiful place, filled with trees draped with Spanish moss, breezes off the lake and the sounds of happy people. So here we will spend the night in the RV (which, by the way, has acquired a new boo boo: this time I was at fault. I hit a low-hanging branch and broke the vent cover over the bathroom. We figure if it rains, we can leave the toilet lid open & hope all the water goes in it!).
Total miles: 260; total time (including stops) 7 1/2 hours. A short day today to balance out the really long day yesterday.

One thought on "Everyone Is from Somewhere"
Win says:
Interesting side point about the Cajuns: The original Acadians were from what are the Maritimes in eastern Canada. The French speakers there fled the British after the French loss in the 7 Years War (aka The French and Indian War) and ended up in Louisiana.


In previous generations, work was everything. For some, it still is.
Yet many in a rising generation of workers say they want more. They want flexible schedules that permit time to be with their families or to engage in community projects. In other words, time for a life beyond the workplace.
The pursuit of a balance between work and life is clearly a priority — or is rapidly becoming one — among today's workers.
And that trend is reflected in the number of companies that offer flex time and openly acknowledge the desire of their employees to have more balance in their lives.
Dozens of companies on Virginia Business' annual list of Best Places to Work in Virginia tout flexible hours, telecommuting, parental leave or other family-friendly benefits.
Other companies give a nod to work-life balance with 35-hour workweeks. They include the Consumer Technology Association and Healthcare Distribution Alliance, both based in Arlington.
Still others offer telecommuting options and shortened workweeks during the summer, such as Vaco in Richmond that releases workers at noon on Fridays during summer hours.
This is the seventh year that Virginia Business has compiled the Best Places to Work list in cooperation with the Best Companies Group, a Pennsylvania-based firm.
In late 2016, 175 companies registered to become one of Virginia's Best Places to Work in 2017. One hundred were selected in three categories: small (15-99 U.S. employees), midsize (100-249) and large (250 or more).
Best Companies Group benchmarked the companies on a list of core values: leadership and planning; corporate culture and communication; role satisfaction; work environment; relationships with supervisors; training and benefits; pay and overall employee engagement.
In Martinsville, good jobs are hard to find a decade after the collapse of the textile and furniture industries. The region's unemployment rate typically trends higher than the state or national average.
In October, for example, the unemployment rate in Martinsville stood at 6.7 percent, compared with a state average of 4.2 percent and a national average of 4.6 percent.
American Global Logistics, a specialist in global and domestic shipping services, is one of the bright spots in Martinsville's economy. It is ranked No. 13 on the Small Employers list. Jon Norman, the company's manager, says the company is committed to creating a family atmosphere in a business that is fast-paced and often stressful.
Among other duties, the company's 70-plus workers in Martinsville help coordinate shipping from factories in Asia and importers in the U.S.
Norman says many of his employees have come from jobs at local factories that have closed. These workers are driven to improve themselves and help their families. Some have earned degrees at local community colleges, and others have completed technical training courses to improve their skills.
Norman says the company puts a lot of trust in its employees and gives them a lot of responsibility.
"We're looking for self-starters with critical thinking [skills]. The main thing is having an attitude that you can tackle anything without being overwhelmed," Norman says. "No one is micromanaged … everybody owns their own work. They take pride in what they do," he says.
There are no set vacation days for employees and no time sheets. When someone needs a day off, they can take it as long as their accounts are in order, Norman says.
"This is a small town. We know people have their needs," Norman says, explaining the reason for the flex-time arrangement and the other accommodations the company has made. "It's been super successful," he says.
Bowen Richwine, director of business development at Corps Solutions in Stafford County (fourth on the Midsize Employer list), appreciates the fact the company allows its employees to tailor their work hours to fit their lives. Richwine spent 20 years in the Marines, retiring as a lieutenant colonel.
Long periods of time in hostile territory were frequent. And they took their toll on his family, especially his relationship with his three sons, now ages 6, 11 and 12. "When I was in Iraq, I missed whole years of their lives," says Richwine.
At Corps Solutions, which provides training and support for the Marine Corps and other national security stakeholders, Richwine says he found a "family-friendly" employer.
For the first time, he was able to have breakfast with his sons, coach their sports teams or watch them play. Work flexibility also has enabled Richwine to pursue a doctorate in education.
Trust and accountability have a big role in making flexible work hours successful, Richwine says. "We play by big-boy rules," he adds.
Corps Solutions has about 70 employees in Virginia and 190 nationwide.
Faith Driggers is a human resources manager at VHB (No. 18 among Large Employers), an engineering firm based in Watertown, Mass. It has four offices in Virginia: Richmond, Tysons, Virginia Beach and Williamsburg.
Driggers says that, for members of the millennial generation, work is a big part of who they are, but it is not everything.
She says that for her father, a baby boomer, work was engrossing. Her dad, she says, would work long hours at the office and then spend more hours at home working into the night. "He's sometimes surprised by the flexibility I have," she says.
That flexibility stems from VHB's philosophy and core values. "We believe in achieving a balance between professional and personal lives, and we want to work with our employees to see what that looks like," Driggers says.
For some employees, being able to arrive later in the morning enables them to take a child to school. Others are caregivers for elderly parents. They want to come in and leave earlier to relieve another caregiver.
When Perry Frazer went to work 20 years ago for the commercial real estate firm CBRE (No. 6 on the Large Employers list), one rule was consistent. "We were encouraged to come in early and leave late," says Frazer, managing director of the firm's Hampton Roads office. Time with family often suffered.
With the communications offered by smart phones and other devices, Frazer says, you can work just as many hours — or maybe more — outside the office, while still being able to maintain a family life.
The culture has changed, he says, and younger employees support that change. "We let our employees figure out on their own how to get the work done and where they need to be," Frazer says.
To give the workplace a family vibe, CBRE provides a light breakfast for employees and recently staged a pie-baking/pie tasting competition.
How do you implement work-life balance at a company where the expectation is that you're on call 24/7?
That's one of the challenges at the Association Resource Group (ARG) in McLean, a technology consulting firm with 55 employees (No. 59 among Small Employers). Everyone at the company receives a free iPhone and iPad to keep them connected.
One way the company manages is through technology that shows which employees are online.
With that information, if a client calls with an urgent request after hours, a manager doesn't have to call a mother or father who is offline, struggling with a 2-year-old with a bad cold. Instead, an employee who is already online can respond. "It helps us set boundaries," says Erica Lord, the company's director of business development.
ARG gives employees the option of working from home on Fridays.
One of the ways that companies help employees achieve work-life balance is to involve them in community activities.
One effort at ARG originated from an experience Praske had at church. On one Sunday, he was handed a $20 bill when he walked in the church door. "I said, 'What's going on here?'" Praske recalls. Church members were asked to take the $20 and perform a good deed.
On several occasions Praske has given employees $100 to spend on good deeds. In honor of the company's 25th anniversary, employees received $250 to perform random acts of kindness. "We've had these amazing stories," Praske says.
One employee bought jump ropes and chalk and gave them to children in a needy neighborhood. Then, she took her own $100 and bought more toys.
Another employee went to a transit station and purchased free fare cards for tourists.
"The stories are unbelievable," Praske says, explaining that employees are asked to write down how their acts of kindness affected others.
"Reading each other's stories inspires us and challenges us," Praske says. And for a few moments, it gives employees a chance to reflect on the fact that there's more to life than work.

GENTRY AVENUE PRODUCTIONS – Featuring the talents of George W. Mahn Ill, Sanctuary is the debut CD from the Dallas-based guitarist and his group Vertical Leap. Mahn performs all the electric and acoustic guitars here ably assisted by bassist John Adams. Mahn's sound is well executed and at various times it echoes influences of prog-rockers like Justin Hayward and Mike Oldfield. The ten track all original lineup includes five vocal tracks and five instrumentals that again echo Oldfield's work as well as the atmospheric sounds of noted film composer Angelo Badalamente. Sanctuary is a fine introduction to Mahn's rising star.

Stopping the spread of Invasive Non-Native Species
The rivers and lakes of the English Lake District contain important populations of native migratory salmon and sea trout and non migratory brown trout as well as creatures as well known as otters and others less well known but equally important such as freshwater pearl mussels and lampreys.
The goal for all our projects is to ensure that habitats are maintained to support to diversity of flora and fauna in our lakes and rivers.
Primary Rivers & Waters
The Wild Rivers Catchment are those situated in West Cumbria and include:
River Ehen
River Calder
River Irt
River Mite
River Esk
River Annas
At the moment, WCRT are primarily undertaking project work on the River Ehen and River Irt, but intend to have projects on the other rivers as funding and staff become available.
The River Ehen is designated as a Special Area of Conservation and a Site of Special Scientific Interest for Freshwater Pearl Mussels (FWPM) and Atlantic salmon.
The Ehen supports the largest and last breeding population of FWPM in England.
WCRT, is delivering an EU Life+ funded project to safeguard the future of FWPM in Britain.
The Ehen´s source is to be found at the western end of Ennerdale Water, fed by the River Liza.
The Ehen runs west through the village of Ennerdale Bridge where it is joined by Croasdale Beck (off Banna Fell) and then on to Cleator Moor and Cleator where it is joined by the River Keekle before moving southwards through Egremont and then runs parallel to the Irish Sea which it eventually joins near the Sellafield nuclear site, at the same point as the River Calder.
The River Calder rises at Lankrigg Moss and flows through an intriguing landscape.
It runs through wild high land and the fells here have prehistoric settlements, barrows, cairns, standing stones, circles and earthworks which are still much the same as they were 2,000 – 3,000 years ago. They include several ancient burial grounds and mysterious monuments.
The river then flows under the atmospheric Monks Bridge and by the site of the ghostly Calder Abbey (founded in 1134), tucked away near the village of Calderbridge, before making its way – in a striking contrast to its early passage over the fells – through the site of the Sellafield nuclear plant, which houses the world's first commercial nuclear reactor.
The River Calder then flows into the Irish Sea at the same departure point as the River Ehen, just south west of Sellafield.
It is amazing that the river, as old as time itself, flows through a time line from the prehistoric settlements on the high fell through the old abbey and then on to a modern day nuclear plant and into the sea.
A clear lake fed river, the Irt flows from the south western end of Wastwater, the deepest lake in England, leaving the lake at the foot of Whin Rigg, the southern peak of the dramatic Wastwater Screes.
The Irt flows through Nether Wasdale, Santon Bridge and crosses the Cumbria Coastal Way long distance footpath at Drigg Holme packhorse bridge. From there it flows through Drigg Dunes and the Irt Estuary Nature Reserve before joining the Esk and the Mite at picturesque Ravenglass.
The Irt has several tributaries including Greathall Beck, Cinderdale Beck, Black Beck, Kid Beck, and the River Bleng.
The Mite rises on Tongue Moor just below Illgill Head and tumbles down the waterfalls of Mitredale Head on its descent into the narrow and steep sided upper Miterdale Valley.
It then flows south west to Eskdale Green, to the north of Muncaster Fell and Muncaster Mill before meeting the Esk and the Irt at Ravenglass estuary. For much of its route the Mite flows parallel to the Ravenglass and Eskdale narrow gauge railway (the Laal Ratty) and one of their locomotives is named after the river. Tributaries of the Mite include Robin Gill, Black Gill, Merebeck Gill, Mere Beck and Gill Beck.
At Ravenglass its waters merge with those of the Esk and the Mite.
The River Esk rises in the Scafell range of mountains just below Esk Hause and passes the Scafell Pikes and Esk Pike. The small river then flows through wild and scenic countryside before being joined by its first major tributary, Lingcove Beck at Lingcove Bridge.
The infant river then flows southerly through England´s wildest and some of its most picturesque countryside making the leap over several waterfalls before being joined by its first major tributary Lingcove Beck at Lingcove Bridge.
Within a few miles the Esk passes Brotherilkeld Farm, which formerly belonged to the monks of Furness Abbey. At this point it is joined by Hardknott Beck and the river flows westerly through the farmland of the Eskdale Valley.
The Esk dashes onwards through Boot and Eskdale Green before joining the Irish Sea at Ravenglass.
The Esk also tends to be synonymous with the name of the late great angler Hugh Falkus who lived in Eskdale and used the river as a basis for much of his writing and filmmaking on angling and wildlife.
The river became internationally famous through Falkus´ writing and films about the fantastic runs of sea trout and salmon which it used to enjoy. Unfortunately the Esk has been ravaged in the past by acid rain run-off and this factor, allied to others, led to dramatic falls in such runs. Thankfully, though a shadow of its fomer self, the Esk is now starting to make a recovery.
The River Annas is formed on the eastern edge of Bootle Village as the Kinmont Beck and Crookley Beck drain the southwestern fells of the Lake District. The River Annas then flows southwest towards Annaside before it is diverted northwestwards to flow parallel to the Irish Sea coast for 2km before it enters the sea at Selker.

In Steeltown, USA, everything and everyone can be bought - at least that's what Mr. Mister thinks. The greedy businessman uses his wallet to control anyone he wants, including the local newspaper editor, preacher, university president, doctor… even the artists! But Larry Foreman's efforts to unionize local workers threatens to rock the cradle and shift the balance of power out of Mr. Mister's control. An allegory on corruption and corporate greed both timely and timeless, The Cradle Will Rock's biting humor and brazenness is as impactful now as it was when it premiered in 1937. Blitzstein's eclectic, jazzy score is a propulsive mix of classical parody, popular melodies, and dramatic ensemble numbers, with a smoky flavor redolent of Kurt Weill - but all-American in its raw energy and urgency.
The Cradle Will Rock was shut down on its opening night by the government in an act of censorship because the pro-union plot was feared to be too radical. The Works Progress Administration, the federal agency that oversaw the Federal Theatre, abruptly canceled the production and sent armed guards to keep any costumes or sets from being removed from the theater. Actors' Equity also barred cast members from performing the show onstage. Undeterred, Blitzstein, John Houseman (the original producer), and Orson Welles (the original director) found another theater and moved a battered upright piano and the cast uptown, along with hundreds of onlookers, so that Blitzstein could sing through his piece for the audience. As Blitzstein launched into the introduction from the piano, Olive Stanton (Moll) stood up in her seat and sang the opening number from the audience. The rest of the cast followed suit, and one of the greatest stories of Broadway history was born. Opera Saratoga will celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the historic premiere with a new fully staged production, and will perform Blitzstein's original orchestration for the first time in 57 years!

Q: c++ weird struct and bitset error I have this inside my private class declarations
#include "stdafx.h"
using namespace std;
    template <typename Key, typename T>
    class A{
    //....
    private:
        static const unsigned int HSIZE = 32;
        struct Bucket {
            Key key;
            T value;
            bitset<HSIZE> jumpMap;
        };
    //....
    };

Gives the following errors:
Error   1   error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed
Error   2   error C2059: syntax error : '<'
Error   3   error C2238: unexpected token(s) preceding ';'

And when i remove the bitset line, it gives me no errors. What am i doing wrong?
EDIT: Added more relevant lines

A: Have you included the bitset header? I think you have missed it?

A: Should HMAX be HSIZE instead? Otherwise make sure you include < bitset >, and that the name is in scope. You probably have a using namespace std in your code, since you don't qualify it with std::. But my bet goes to HMAX <-> HSIZE.

The most important part of any hotel or any office is the reception. From a reception one is directed to any part of the office. So the more attractive the reception, more customers will be attracted. So the owner keeping this in his mind has made the interiors in such a manner. On top of it the red colour on the wall and some part of the reception is more striking.
The combination of white along with red is a better option to be opted for. The sculpture on the wall behind the reception grabs the attention of the passer by very easily and makes one think of it as it's in pure white colour. The lighting effect on the false ceiling adds to the elegance of the area. The vases in the vicinity support the natural theme.

Nasty Tarot Solitaire in PySolFC
Cutting the Deck
tarot card spreads
tarot card layouts
This is probably the oldest form of cartomancy, dating back to the 16th century at least. People would cut the deck to pull one card, essentially to test whether their luck was running high, before making a decision. Similar principles led to the development of solitaire games in the 17th century.
St. Gallen ordinance ignores cards
early references
1364, St. Gallen, Switzerland. A local ordinance forbids dice, allows board games, and leaves the subject of cards untouched. This is often cited as the date before which cards could not have been known in Europe.
St. Gallen ordinance forbids cards
We know playing cards entered Europe in the 1370s because there are no references before this time, and suddenly they start appearing across the continent. In St. Gallen, an ordinance made in 1379 forbade the use of playing cards.
