This is back from 2012. They changed our scope and sequence so it's not even this time of year anymore. In fact I'd forgotten about it. But if you can tweak any of it to use be my guest. Pretty easy and we had fun. At least now I'd be singing inside of mostly walls. You can still hear the hallway and if it's quiet they can hear us. But it's not as crazy as it was before! I was nerdily excited to have the author of one of the books we used comment. Sure she just had a Google Alert set up but anyway.
These are just a start but I thought I'd share. Second grade has been coming and doing some of these activities. No one finishes all of them but that's OK, too. Ideas to make them better? Comments, please!
First of all we started out singing (and, let me tell you, Ms. O is not particularly fond of singing in our library space with no walls, everyone in the school and their dog walking through, and having to use a microphone. Not fond at all. But the kids liked it) from the book There Goes the Water, by Laura Purdie Salas.
Vocabulary: this was an easy way to have them start a simple practice with an online dictionary. We made sure to discuss at the end of the activity what was easier and what was harder about a print versus an electronic dictionary. They totally got it. IF they spelled it perfectly the screen opened right to their definition. That's a big IF.
Storytime: I just picked out a bunch of different picture books that had something to do with water, rain, or snow. Kiddos filled out a story elements organizer.
Non-Fiction Text Features: I have a couple of series that we pulled relevant titles from. The only one I can remember off the top of my head is Bridgestone Books' Weather Update. We just finished talking (in the library, anyway) about text features so this was a good review. The table of contents and indexes are easy to find. Print size is pretty big and there are plenty of captions and pictures to look at.
Bookmark Making: I used the pattern found on Today in First Grade's blog (scroll down just a bit) and copied it at 50% (so that I could get two sets from one sheet of paper). I made a template with four squares (sorry ... don't have that one) that went down half of a sheet of paper set in portrait mode (again, so that I could get two from one sheet ... I copied those onto blue). I precut the snowman squares but you could have kids do that themselves if you're willing to deal with the mess.

Cleanup work causing lane restriction on I-80 westbound at site of massive pileup
Updated Jan 14, 2020; Posted Jan 14, 2020
By John Beauge | Special to PennLive
Video of the crash that currently has I 80 shut down in both directions in Union County, Pennsylvania. Estimated that 20 tractor trailers were involved, and 10 other vehicles. The coroner has confirmed that one man died in the incident. FOX56 WOLF TV FULL STORY: https://fox56.com/news/local/breaking-20-car-pile-up-on-i-80-union-co
Posted by Viktoria Hallikäär on Wednesday, December 18, 2019
NEW COLUMBIA – Cleanup from last month's massive pile up on Interstate 80 in western Union County is continuing with westbound traffic restricted to one lane when crews are working.
Northridge Group, a Winfield firm, is removing contaminated soil along both sides of the highway where 58 vehicles came together like an accordion during a snow squall on Dec. 18.
Soil four to six feet deep is being removed and replaced at 12 locations over a distance of approximately 600 feet, Northridge president Dave Bogovich said Tuesday.
The work began Tuesday and is not expected to be completed until Jan. 24, he said. Crews are working 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily except Saturday and Sunday, he said.
The accident site, just east of the Mile Run interchange, is in a Pennsylvania-American Water Co. watershed, Bogovich said.
Diesel fuel, gasoline, anti-freeze and other liquids spilled or leaked out as the result of the accident, he said.
Some of the fluids got into drainage ditches and small streams but it was contained using absorbent booms, he said.
The cleanup is under the direction of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and the Department of Environmental Protection but the owners of the vehicles from which the fluids came will be billed, Bogovich said.
His firm also removed the wrecked vehicles from the crash that killed two and injured at least 45. "Amazing" is how he described the carnage in the middle of the accident.
It took nearly 30 hours to clear the wreckage and reopen the westbound lanes.

Kris Needs
Original Friars member, author, journalist, legend
When a building you love is getting knocked down the initial reaction to its replacement can only be fairly hostile. Such was the case when, as a reporter on the local Bucks Advertiser, I was invited to a sneak preview of the long-awaited new Aylesbury Civic Centre sometime in summer 1975. Of course, I feigned interest in how it would benefit the local community etc, but the uppermost thought in my brain was how Friars might settle in here.
It looked promising though: big enough to hold around 1200 people with all mod cons as opposed to the BAH's primitive facilities. The vibe would be all important; if that could be transported from the Ex-Servicemen's Club to the BAH with such success than this should be a doddle. And it was, although it soon became obvious that this was one hall which greatly benefited from a proliferation of punters as far as atmosphere was concerned. Music-wise it would not matter if your worst nightmare was on as there was a large, comfy bar!
It felt good to be doing Friars flyers again. On September 13, 1975, Friars returned with a bill topped by Greenslade, fronted by the voluminous organ of ex-Colosseum keyboards-man Dave Greenslade. The first band to actually appear at Phase Three were Warren Harry and the Yum Yum Band, then regulars on the pub scene with their snappy pop. Warren always performed like he was onstage at Hammersmith Odeon and certainly boasted the star attitude. A lovely bloke and it was so sad when he died in 2008.
Also on the bill were me and Otway, back together again that year playing the same songs [which he still does now!]. The chicken impersonation was fun. Definitely one of those nights where the event overshadowed the groups! However, the following week saw the FA debut of the new MOTT, our fave band minus Hunter but plus two new guys. They went down a storm at a time when some raucous, slightly eccentric rock 'n' roll was much appreciated amidst all the excessive noodling going on. And it felt good to be scribing the name MOTT on a flyer again.
One of the differences between this Friars incarnation and the previous ones was that Aylesbury's night-life at that time wasn't just confined to a couple of pubs populated by the hardcore caners. Since the closure of Phase Two, something of a scene had sprung up around Thursday nights at the Bell Hotel which would swell through the following year into the Aylesbury Rock Explosion. Everyone got on well, bands were forming and soon there would be more venues. A lot of good-natured drunken socialising went on in that Civic Centre bar while bands like Tangerine Dream, Stackridge, Sailor and Camel enraptured their hordes in the hall.
Two particular 1975 nights stand out, both in November: Dr Feelgood, who'd just released their Malpractice album and were now like a barely controlled explosion having honed their onstage personas into one deadly unit, like all the best groups. Best of all in those often-flossy times, you wouldn't want to meet man-in-black psycho-guitarist Wilko Johnson or clenched-teeth hoodlum singer Lee Brilleaux in a dark alley. Punk had already started.
The other was Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. I'd been a massive fan ever since hearing the man on John Peel in 1967, captivated by Beefheart's elemental blues roar, surreal lyrics and the extra-terrestrial syncopation of the Magic Band. They churned through a selection of 'greatest hits' careering between their Safe As Milk debut album, the astonishing Trout Mask Replica and a nifty tap-dance by John 'Drumbo' French, one of the original Magic Band members. It was amazing to see Beefheart on the Friars Aylesbury stage, one of music's most fascinating legends [whose dark tale I would uncover when I got to know Drumbo in 2008 but in 1975 this was unbelievable].
After the show several of us noticed the walrus-'tached figure of Captain Beefheart seated at the side of the hall, receiving his often-gibbering fans, sketchbook on his knee in which he constantly scribbled and drew. He was charming, friendly and appreciative of the compliments, even drawing me a flock of birds and handing it over [although he kept the portrait he did of Colin]. The only bummer was that I'd been away at journalists' college for two months so had handed over doing the flyers to Budget Stopps!
Musically, early 1976 was pretty barren in the mainstream. Something was definitely needed to liven things up there, but Aylesbury continued to bask in its own scene with gigs now happening at the John Hampden pub. Every lunchtime a small gaggle would sit in the Civic Centre bar and plot to take over the world. Pete Frame appeared in July with the first issue of The Aylesbury Roxette, which he had designed to make out to the world that the town was a cultural epicentre, thus stoking the scene [with an essential dose of irreverent humour]. Pete would later hand the mag over to me and Colin with Chris France as advertising manager and Geoffrey Tyrell supplying a steady stream of gorgeous photos from whoever was visiting Friars. We'd lay it out after hours at the Bucks Advertiser offices in late night cowgum-and-beer sessions. Even when I wasn't always doing the Friars flyers I still got to do my own version on the back of the mag.
As Otway had done his usual sneaky one where he suddenly started playing with other people without telling me, Pete decided to form me a band with Colin on guitar and sundry other local musos which he called the Aylesbury Bucks before we'd even done a gig. We'd rehearse at his country cottage in North Marston, charging through tracks from his extensive collection of 60s garage punk by names like the Seeds, Strangeloves and Standells, then play the Hampden and Leighton Buzzard's Tiddenfoot Leisure Centre [making the cover of the Roxette!].
As 1976 progressed I was becoming aware that something was stirring in London. Magenta DeVine, the Roxette's gossip columnist named by Frame, had been going on about this group called the Sex Pistols while I'd been fervently following this new phenomenon called punk rock in the music press. After Pete started me writing me for Zigzag I began interviewing several of the prime movers, including the Stranglers and Ramones. My first major interview was with the fabulous Flamin' Groovies from San Francisco, then belting out their own take on primal rock 'n' roll and widescreen classic pop filtered through early Beatles and Stones but credited with being punk godfathers as they'd been playing with flash and attitude since the mid-60s. I struck up a great relationship with this bunch of amiable loonies and started badgering David to book them at Friars, which happened in November. Then, after Chris France booked The Clash to play Leighton Buzzard's Tiddenfoot Leisure Centre it's safe to say I was never the same again. Apart from being the most exciting rock 'n' roll band I had ever seen, this was the future. I started hanging out with them and going to every gig I could. Obviously the prospect of this group at Friars became a top priority.
Meanwhile, a bunch of Essex rockers called Eddie and the Hot Rods were gaining quite a local following playing the pubs before their Friars debut in October: more of a high-energy rock band like Dr Feelgood but paving the way for guitars and an absence of two-hour synth solos. The Groovies came in November and were spectacular, a true Friars band if ever there was one.
1977 was the year when everything changed. Every day seemed to bring a fresh development as the most exciting musical revolution for years turned everything upside down. Friars' started dipping its toe into the punk cauldron in March when the movement's supreme godfather Iggy Pop appeared for the opening date on his tour promoting his comeback album The Idiot.
The exciting twist was that the album had been produced by our old mate David Bowie, who was on the tour playing keyboards. 'I said I'd be back!' joked a relaxed-looking Bowie as he hung around the hall waiting to soundcheck. He was obviously happy to be in Aylesbury again but maintained a distinctly low profile all night, not wanting to impinge on Iggy's night. The gig was attended by a horde of London punk luminaries who I'd met at gigs, including Johnny Thunders [diligently checking out the toilets!], the Heartbreakers, Generation X, a couple of Pistols etc. The gig has since gone down in history as Iggy's Bowie-driven comeback, low-key but riveting.
The ball was rolling now and the rest of the year saw the Ramones, the mighty Motorhead, Blondie, Mink DeVille, Talking Heads, The Jam and Ian Hunter, another punk godfather here for the eighth birthday bash, storm the hall in their own unique way. Take the Ramones, who made their first appearance prompted by a petition circulated by Colin Keinch. Lovely, hysterically-funny characters who remain the masters of the non-stop punk rock barrage. Mink DeVille were a total contrast but still a quintessential New York band, evoking classic 60s street soul fronted by the smooth Willy DeVille. One of the best Friars nights ever as the club showed why it could be so special: the crowd had this ability to plug into what an act were doing, even if they weren't fans, soak it in then roar back their appreciation, spurring the group on to greater heights. Still with the Big Apple, Blondie needed no introduction and played one of their first major gigs in their own right to a crowd stoked by their perfect pop celebration and Debbie's charisma, tonight heightened by black see-through blouse and leather trousers.
The Motorhead gig in August marked the start of another beautiful friendship as I did my common routine of interviewing the band for Zigzag, which I was now editing, while reviewing the set. It was the first time I'd met the legendary Lemmy, who greeted all and sundry with a bag of battery-acid speed and a flick-knife, barking the command, 'Do it till it hurts!'. Definitely one of the most gloriously loud, dirty and uproarious bands to ever grace the club, which they would return to several times. Lemmy always made a beeline for the fruit machine for the Green Man pub next door, whose world-revered jukebox was often dominated by Motorhead. [The pub was like a Friars satellite, the jukebox chart reflecting who'd been appearing]. In 1979 I got Motorhead to put on Father Christmas outfits for the cover of the Christmas Zigzag, the photo also ending up adorning of the 'Ace Of Spades' single.
After its 1977 supernova, punk was now part of the musical mainstream and reflected in the Friars gig-list with bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees, Buzzcocks, Lurkers, Jam, Stiff Little Fingers, 999 and Adverts, supported by the new band me and Colin had formed called the Vice Creems. We played local gigs like the Britannia but, after our first single, the rhythm section's girlfriends started lowering the thumb and, on the eve of recording the second 45, the group stood as just me and Colin with Olympic Studios already booked. 'Don't worry, I'll get you a band', said Clash guitarist Mick Jones, which turned out to be himself, drummer Topper Headon and Tony James from Generation X on bass.
The long-awaited Clash gig finally happened in June, 1978, an incendiary affair coinciding with the release of their second album Give 'Em Enough Rope. Although one of the most passionately-received gigs in Friars history, it went without much fuss and they returned in December then January 1980, doing a secret warm-up for the 16 Tons tour with Ian Dury also on the bill. The Vice Creems supported at very short notice, finding a new rhythm section in three days. I could spend a whole book going on about The Clash - and have! Suffice to say, they're up there in the very best gigs seen at Friars.
Siouxsie and the Banshees were the other group I always seemed to be on the road with, massively popular at Friars, but this period now seems to melt into a succession of brilliant, often surreal events and images, like walking across the Market Square with Chrissie Hynde, past the queue for the Pretenders gig and into their luxury tour bus parked by the Market Square phone box. Then there was the incredible Kid Creole and the Coconuts show in June 1982, on the tour accompanying their Tropical Gangsters album's UK breakthrough. One of my personal favourites as what looked like a Broadway show hit the Friars stage, fronted by the zoot-suited Kid, comic foil Coati Mundi in his sailors' outfit and the exotic Coconuts in their jungle gear, backed up by the most ferocious funk machine. Like Mink DeVille, it was another of those nights where the hall's orbit seemed to shift onto some delirious plateau where time stood still and the world outside really didn't matter. It was rare to find that anywhere else in the country and, believe me, I did enough touring during those years. The sheer diversity of artists appearing – from Kid Creole to the roots reggae of Clint Eastwood & General Saint and Dennis Brown, the cream of punk to the Kinks, could not be beat either.
By 1982 I had to moved to London and missed several gigs which, as the club prided itself on mirroring the times, involved a fair number of vacuous 80s names who were fun at the time but are now all-but-forgotten. It's almost taboo to mention his name now but, it has to be said that some of the most unadulteratedly silly nights came courtesy of Gary Glitter, although PiL and Grandmaster Flash were good, even if I can't remember them!
When Friars closed it was as hard to believe then that it had been going for 15 years as it is now to take on board the fact that the first night was 40 years ago. Friars nights were often special, often coming through against all odds. Even if Phase Three now saw David Stopps dealing with mainstream instead of underground, he still managed to imbue it with that original spirit, crucially aided by the Civic's John Braley, Robin Pike and others hopefully listed elsewhere. Just take a look at these pages if you don't believe me!
Dedicated to the memories of Joe Strummer, Johnny, Joey and Dee Dee Ramone.

Last month we went up to Nashville for the Bon Appetit Grub Crawl. There were two crawls - a day and a night crawl. We sent on the day crawl in the 12 South neighborhood. We went to 4 different restaurants and had a delicious time! We ate and drank for all day and found a few new must try spots.
Our first stop on the Grub Crawl was at Urban Grub.
Opened in 2012, Urban Grub is an indoor-outdoor casual fine dining spot located in a renovated carwash in Nashville's 12 South district. With dishes including homemade charcuterie, fresh fish and dry aged steaks—Urban Grub has something for everyone.
We were served an array of delicious food.
The Lamb Biscuits and Shrimp & Grits were amazing!
I stuffed myself full of country ham, prosciutto and cheese. SO good!
Look at that prawn! O-M-G!
It was cooked in banana leaves and was crazy big.
It was definitely a crowd favorite!
We are definitely coming back sometime for dinner. Such a fun place!
The second stop was at Epice.
Epice is a neighborhood bistro serving simple and authentic Lebanese foods that are reflective of Lebanon's flavorful Mediterranean cuisine. Derived from the French word for spice, Epice is inspired by the ambrosial spices and herbs ubiquitous in this healthful cuisine.
I could have eaten my weight in their hummus. It was incredibly delicious.
They served a bourbon and raspberry cocktail that was AMAZING!
I LOVED it! Worth the trip!
The third stop on the crawl was at The Flipside. It was my favorite stop!
Husband and wife, Jason and Libby Sheer, opened The Flipside in 2014. The menu features Jason's grandmother's amazing pan sautéed chicken recipe, topped 21 different ways—and the crowds haven't stopped coming. The interior is decorated in a fun 50s retro style with old tv shows playing on the TVs in the bar.
We we started with the Tater Tot Nachos - tater tots topped with queso, avocado, tomatoes, bacon, jalapeños and green onions. YUM!
Next we sampled three of their most popular chicken sandwiches.
Greenway - chicken topped with arugula, avocado and red wine vinaigrette.
Memphis - chicken topped with BBQ sauce, bacon, cheddar, and pickles. This was my favorite.
Phuket - chicken topped with peanut butter, sriracha and Thai basil slaw.
The Tater Tot Nachos deserve one more look. SO good!
I've seen pictures of their Bloody Mary and it is insane.
We will definitely be back very soon!
The final stop on the crawl was at Josephine.
Opened in 2013, Josephine is a contemporary restaurant featuring American farmhouse cuisine. Chef Andrew Little focuses on simple, classically composed recipes accompanied by a small but carefully selected wine list, in a soft industrial space that emphasizes a sense of home.
We were served two courses.
First up was the Salad of N09 Vegetables - it had scrapple croutons, cured egg yolk and lavender.
This was our first time trying scrapple. It might be our last.
The second course was Gnocchi with peas, asparagus, smoked mushrooms, sorghum and citrus peel.
This is called Pocket Change - Vodka, lemon, fruit, simple syrup, bitters.
We need places to check out on our next weekend trip!
I think I might never have made it out of Urban Grub.

Has there been any foreshadowing of Captain Marvel in the MCU?
The Wikipedia article on the Marvel Cinematic Universe feature films says that in 2019 a new hero will be introduced to the MCU - Captain Marvel.
Has there been any foreshadowing for this character in the MCU so far? Some hints or references only the comic readers would understand?
Something similar to the reference to Doctor Strange in Winter Soldier, where "Stephen Strange" was on Hydra's list alongside Bruce Banner? Or that Spider-Man reference in Ant-Man?
Well, we got everything nowadays. We got a guy who jumps, we got a guy who swings, we got a guy who crawls up the walls [...]

I don't see the point of having "Captain Marvel" as a spoiler when it's in the question title. I don't think it's a spoiler anyway. – Thunderforge May 27 '17 at 10:09
In light of what we now know about the Captain Marvel movie and setting, this comment seems right, so you should probably unaccept the current answer. – ThePopMachine Jul 26 '18 at 15:38
... and this answer, while short, is probably correct. – ThePopMachine Jul 26 '18 at 15:39
Before Infinity War was released, and Captain Marvel's setting details were announced, the "foreshadowing" was as follows.
As I mentioned in another answer, one of the patients alluded to in Doctor Strange, when Stephen is in his car right before the crash could be Captain Marvel - the "22-year old female with an electronic implant in her brain that controls schizophrenia - struck by lightning".
Fans have identified this being somehow similar to Captain Marvel's backstory, and some magazines have asked the director whether it's true, to which they've got the following responses (emphasis mine):
There's been some speculation that this could be Carol Danvers, aka Brie Larson's Captain Marvel, which is currently in pre-production. Derrickson is coy about it, but doesn't deny the rumour, either. "All I can is...maybe. That one, you're going to have to wait and see..."
Empire Online
And for Entertainment Weekly:
Another patient mention in Strange's call is much more likely to be an important Marvel character in the future. Strange was far more interested in working on her: a woman in her 20s who was struck by lightning – a serious injury complicated by an electronic implant in her brain to help quell her schizophrenia.
When asked if this was a reference to Captain Marvel, who will be played by Oscar-winner Brie Larson in an upcoming film, Derrickson said he could neither confirm nor deny. But he was smiling (so infer from that what you like).
"Remember that Brittany Murphy movie where she goes 'I'll never tell…'" he said in a whispered singsong, referencing the 2001 thriller Don't Say a Word.
GallifreyanGallifreyan
"Remember that Brittany Murphy movie where she goes 'I'll never tell…'"" — no-one does. – Paul D. Waite May 27 '17 at 9:10
It's unlikely that that's her, since we know now that Captain Marvel will be set in the 90s. – DaniellYancey Jul 6 '18 at 20:12
The problem is the timeline as we now know definitively Captain Marvel is set in the 90s. Hard for her to be a 20 something pilot in Dr Stange that way. – alemus Jul 26 '18 at 18:58
The only foreshadowing of Captain Marvel thus far has been her symbol appearing on Nick Fury's phone/pager/thingie during the credits stinger of Infinity War.

The tech industry continues to face a significant challenge as the quantity of open jobs outpaces the number of applicants available to fill them. Miami-Dade's tech ecosystem is extremely promising — there is a focus on innovation, startup growth and cultivation of junior talent. However, the region is not immune to the skills gap affecting many American ecosystems.
While college degrees are often seen as an indicator of a city's talent pool, it's not an accurate depiction of the robust talent pool here in Miami-Dade. And it most certainly shouldn't determine if Miami lands opportunities like Amazon HQ2.
There is an untapped contingent of talented, motivated individuals who can do the job, but because they lack traditional resume credentials, can't get the job. Thankfully, there are organizations working to change that. LaunchCode, a national nonprofit that focuses on opening doors to individuals experiencing barriers to tech careers, has already helped over 700 community members gain tech skills in South Florida.
Half of their students do not possess a college degree and a quarter were unemployed before enrollment. And it's not just about gaining the skills. LaunchCode advocates on behalf of students, working to place them into upwardly-mobile apprenticeships and jobs with company partners like Watsco, Mastercard, CareCloud, and more.
These companies know first hand the value that LaunchCoders add to their team. They know that an applicant's competence, drive and willingness to learn should be prioritized over a computer science degree or one to two years of work experience. Innovative solutions are the answer to ensuring important, high-demand jobs are being filled with motivated, qualified individuals. And by focusing on cultivating junior talent, Miami-Dade's tech tech talent pool will widen, resulting in a more qualified workforce.
LaunchCode is now enrolling candidates for LC101, a free, part-time computer science and web development class. To learn more or to apply, visit www.launchcode.org/lc101.

Q: React.js without JSX - "Warning: Something is calling a React component directly. Use a factory or JSX instead" I'm trying to use React.js component without JSX and receive such warning:
Warning: Something is calling a React component directly. Use a factory or JSX instead. See: http://fb.me/react-legacyfactory

I've visited link but suggested createFactory solution didn't help me :/
app.js
var React = require('react/addons');
var TagsInput = React.createFactory(require('./tagsinput')); // no luck

var TagsComponent = React.createClass({
  displayName: "TagsComponent",
  saveTags: function () {
    console.log('tags: ', this.refs.tags.getTags().join(', '));
  },

  render: function () {
    return (
      React.createElement("div", null,
        React.createElement(TagsInput, {ref: "tags", tags: ["tag1", "tag2"]}),
        React.createElement("button", {onClick: this.saveTags}, "Save")
      )
    );
  }
});

React.render(React.createElement(TagsComponent, null), document.getElementById('tags'));

tagsinput.js
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/olahol/react-tagsinput/master/react-tagsinput.js
I cannot figure out what is the problem here?

A: You need to wrap all of your child components in createFactory as well, I was able to get your code to run without that specific warning by wrapping Tag and Input in createFactory.
jsbin

A: React.createClass(spec) returns a component.
React.createElement(component, props, ...children) creates an element.
React.createFactory(component) returns a factory function, which can be used to create an element.
React.createFactory(a)(b, c, d) is the same as React.createElement(a, b, c, d).
You get the warning when you call a component directly, like component().  If you want to call it like a function, use createFactory
var factory = React.createFactory(component);
var element = factory(props, ...children);

Or use createElement:
var element = React.createElement(component, props, ...children);

In 0.13 this will give an error instead of a warning:
var element = component(props, ...children);

Also because React.DOM is going away, you should create dom elements the same way you create component based elements
Edit: looks like React.DOM is sticking around for now.
var div = React.createFactory('div');
var element = div(props, ...children);

// or

var element = React.createElement('div', props, ...children);

Bold used to show consistent terms.  ...children means any number of child arguments

A: For me. The culprit is recompose. I want to convert my functional component to pure. Then I solved it by using memo.
Using memo from react:
import React, { memo } from 'react';

const Component = (props) {
return (
// Component code
)
}

// Wrap component using "memo" HOC
export default memo(Component);

Fashion e-tailer Myntra received capital infusion of ₹415 crore from its Singapore-based parent company called FK Myntra Holdings, owned by Flipkart.
Myntra recently reported revenues of Rs 2,000 crore last year ,clocking an almost 90% growth . The company's revenue grew about 40% in 2017.
The fresh infusion of cash is part of Flipkart's decision to pump in a mammoth ₹4500 crore in its wholesale arm in India.
Myntra's CEO Ananth Narayanan has been trying to make a turnaround at Jabong which the fashion e-tailer acquired in 2016.
"The private labels on the Myntra platform have turned operationally profitable", Narayanan said. Myntra will use the investment to expand the size of the business and to bring more partners on its platform.
Myntra has been reducing the overall discount rates on products to increase profitability. Now the company will also focus on boosting the business in beauty products segment.
Last year, Myntra had opened offline stores in Bangalore to push the business of its in-house brands like Roadster. It has plans to set up more such physica storesl across main cities in India this year.

Islanders fans pretty worried about this whole Belmont arena traffic and transit situation
Posted on March 12, 2019 by Neil deMause
New York Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky again stressed this weekend that his team's arena is totally on track to open in 2021 as scheduled, so it's good timing that I had an article run at Deadspin yesterday pointing out that yeah, it really isn't, at least not if the elected officials threatening to block it if it doesn't come with a full-service train station are serious, because there's no easy way to build a full-service train station there.
And even if they do approve it anyway, it will likely result in an arena that is once again hard to get to by both car and public transit, which has a bunch of Islanders fans slightly worried they'd be getting out of the Brooklyn frying pan and into the fire. My favorite bit:
James Francis Fess, a lifelong Islanders fan—he claims that his father literally placed an Islanders hat on his head the day he was born—and a leader of the Blue and Orange Army fan group, worries that the traffic on the nearby Cross Island Parkway on game days "is going to be insanity. The traffic around the Coliseum is nothing like around Belmont. You can look up any single day on a traffic map, and I guarantee you that it's going to be black on the Cross Island."
Fess says he got to ride to the Belmont arena announcement last season with the team's entourage, which included both Ledecky and longtime broadcaster Stan Fischler, who moonlights as a transit expert. The resulting conversation, he says, was both enlightening and worrisome.
"I mentioned to [Ledecky], 'It's not true that people will have to transfer at Jamaica still, right? Like how they do for the Barclays Center.' And he's like, 'No, we want the train to go directly there. Stan'll know about this, because Stan knows everything about trains.'"
Fischler, recalls Fess, began rattling off a list of changes that would be needed to make full service to Belmont a reality. "Ledecky's sitting there like, 'Wait a second.' I see the look on his face, and I think 'Oh no, they didn't even think about this.'"
All the Islanders fans I spoke to wished that the team had just stayed put at the Nassau Coliseum site, and while there's no doubt some sentimentality behind that, it's also true that getting to an arena on the Queens/Nassau border on a weeknight during rush hour with limited train service is not going to be pretty. It may be the best option now after what the current team owners stumbled into following Charles Wang's impulsive flight to Brooklyn — I spend much of the end of the article discussing the increasing evidence that rich sports people are no better at planning and decision making than the rest of us — but it's still pretty remarkable that Islanders owners keep picking places to play and saying, "We'll figure out how to get fans there later."

I am an Islander fan. I admit to no longer living in East Meadow ( a mile from the Coliseum), so when I lived there it was perfect for me. I understand Jamaica Ave, Hempstead Turnpike and the Cross Island are no bargain, but people seem to forget the alternative to Elmont would not be the Coliseum but Houston or Quebec City.
Neil deMause on March 12, 2019 at 12:01 pm said:
They would be giving up a shit-ton of cable revenue in either of those places relative to NY.
Seattle Resident on March 12, 2019 at 1:58 pm said:
It would, in all likelihood, be a sale to interests in Quebec City who would move the team rather than Ledecky moving the team himself. They pretty much said that Belmont would be the last roundup.
Neil deMause on March 12, 2019 at 2:06 pm said:
I'm skeptical. Yes, Canada is a hockey hotbed, but it seems unlikely that that would make up for the downgrade in market size (and exchange rate) in going to a city with less than 10% of the population.
Or, to put it another way: If the Islanders were up for sale, would somebody be willing to pay more to keep the team in NY, even having to play in Brooklyn and/or Nassau, than Quebecor would pay to move them north? Very possibly.
Jeff on March 12, 2019 at 2:41 pm said:
Normally, I'd agree with you but the market size doesn't really matter unless you can reach that market. They're dead last in attendance this season and I found this here below showing them third from the bottom for local TV ratings as of a couple of years ago. https://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Journal/Issues/2017/04/24/Media/NHL-ratings.aspx
It would not take much to top 12,000 fans per game and beat a 0.32 TV share.
It's not about ratings, it's about revenues. I believe the Islanders are still getting about $20 million a year for TV rights — anyone know offhand what the smaller Canadian teams get?
John Bladen on March 12, 2019 at 5:25 pm said:
Neil: Since the "RSN" for all small market Canadian teams is now the national rights holder (Rogers, $5.2Bn 12 year deal) for the NHL in Canada itself, these teams do not appear to earn RSN rights fees directly.
I don't know whether there is some compensation built in to the Rogers national deal that replaces what they were paying Canadia teams for regional rights prior to the new deal (which started in 2014 iirc), but there effectively is no RSN anymore. I don't believe the Rogers regional deal was ever considered the same way a Sportschannel or NESN deal might be for the Islanders or Bruins. IE: it wasn't split between the Canadian franchises alone or parsed out based on individual games or regions
Split evenly the 2014 Rogers national deal means about $15m per team per season… which of course the current Islanders owners get their share of in addition to their local cable deal(s).
It used to be that the NHL national deals were split according to nation (IE: US national deals were split among the US based teams, while Canadian TV revenues were split among Canadian clubs). I believe that ended about a decade ago, but I'm not sure if the revenue is all pooled and divided equally or not.
For reference, the US national rights are currently part of a ten year $2Bn deal through NBC/Comcast… which is, you know, less…
The Sabres also get $20m a year from MSG, which argues that the Islanders aren't getting much of a NYC bonus:
https://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Issues/2016/06/22/Media/Sabres.aspx
Additional searches turned up these:
https://ottawasun.com/2014/01/29/live-sens-announce-massive-tv-deal-hit-ice-for-practice/wcm/72faec95-3f0c-4354-9139-0c9352b14533
This is very much a distress deal as TSN lost a ton(ne) of programming when Rogers grabbed the full national package, squeezing them out.
Rogers also flipped the French language rights to Videotron in this deal:

But that isn't really a "team" RSN deal, it's most of the French language rights barring the Canadiens deal with TSN/RDS (the Canadiens did opt out of the Rogers deal and ultimately did a partial package for I believe 60 games on TSN/RDS. I assume Videotron's TVA has the others).
Oh for the days when if you wanted Dodger games you just had to tune in to KTLA… not have 3 regional networks and a 6 live stream passes…
Weren't the Yankees on WPIX before the great RSN wave arrived? I seem to recall seeing them there even into the 1980s…
I thin the takeaway here is "being a hockey owner isn't such a great deal no matter where you do it."
I would still bet fairly heavily against the Islanders ever leaving the New York area. But then, I thought Wang would be crazy to move to Brooklyn, too, and while I wasn't wrong, that didn't mean it didn't happen.
So who is going to pay the "NY market" premium to buy the team and then immediately make that an unrecoverable sunk cost by moving the team out of said market? Nobody.
Sure, Houston is a big market too. But it's not New York (even that part that is not Manhattan). While you could almost certainly get fans to the arena in Houston, you neither own nor control the arena (unless you plan to build one, which Rockets ownership might have something to say about).
Would you be better off with a full building and Houston TV rights or an half empty building and NY RSN revenues?
If I'm the owner, I'd take 10,000 paying fans and that NY market over anything other than 20,000 and the NY market… which they don't appear to have access to.

There's traffic on this island everywhere, always. I'd love to see the protestors move off the island if traffic bothers them, hopefully making traffic better for the rest of us.

Isn't crappy train service to Belmont Park better than the no train service that has ever existed to Nassau Coliseum?
From the city, probably. From the east, taking the train to the bus to Uniondale might be no worse than switching trains at Jamaica.

Anyone who has ever taken the N70, N71 or N72 from Hempstead knows how crowded it gets until the bus hits Levittown.
This is still Charles Wang's epic folly. The new(ish) owners need to take a good hard look at how to fix it and be prepared to use a significant amount of their own money to do it.
Wang needed to either go all in with Ratner on Brooklyn (which FCR offered him a chance to do, let's not forget), or fix his issues at or near the Coliseum. Instead, he bet on a taxpayer funded $4.3Bn monument to himself when even pigeons weren't all that interested in a statue of him being erected.
Sure, transit there sucks and maybe always will. But some improvements can be made… 15,000 people used to go there with some regularity, so no-one can say there aren't enough fans willing to travel there (maybe a lot were locals, I don't know, but the building was still pretty full at one time). Have they all moved away? Or are they just no longer interested in supporting this team?
Is it fair to say that the team isn't coming close to filling the non-obstructed view seats in Brooklyn? I know Prokhorov wanted them out because he felt he was losing money on the deal (which he almost certainly is).
Moving to a new area is not a guarantee of immediate success. It takes time to build a fan base and you have to actually try. Sports owners are always trading one fan base for another when they move (some fans will endure the travel headaches to support their team in the new location). Getting stuck in a basketball arena with limited financial upside/downside is not a recipe for building a brand or business.
Surely there is somewhere in Queens, Brooklyn or further east that the Islanders wealthy owners can find that is both accessible and a potentially decent location for a new NHL calibre arena?
If not, they might as well move back to Nassau County, regardless of the number of seats…
They are using a significant amount of their money. (Or at least OVG's and the Wilpons' money.) Even with a massive land discount from the state, they're still plunking down like $1 billion.
I am interested in how the revenue split between the Islanders and the other investors will go, though. If Ledecky and Malkin aren't putting up a ton of equity, will they just end up effectively renters again? Not that that's a terrible thing, but is this the best place to be a renter?
Warning, hugely misleading bar chart with no zero axis shown:
https://projects.newsday.com/databases/hockey/islanders-attendance-2018-19-barclays-center-vs-nassau-coliseum/
Reminds me of the old Dilbert strip about a product that is killing it's purchasers being presented to management as promoting a "decline in unsatisfied customers"…
If I'm reading that graphic and the table right, the Isles have drawn 226k in 21 games at Barclays and 215k in 16 games at their old home… with 5 more to go in Nassau (didn't realize they were splitting evenly this year).
So, they are averaging 10,750 at their 'new' arena and 13,400 at their old arena?
Seems like traffic out east isn't the defining factor after all….

So for all the talk about the cable deal it averages $27 million a year through 2031. You talking about spending several hundred million on a new arena. Whereas if you moved to QC you will have an arena for free so even if you got $15 million a year the lack of debt service on the arena will more than make up for it
Neil deMause on March 13, 2019 at 9:22 am said:
You don't "have an arena for free" — somebody has to pay off the Quebec arena. And the Islanders owners aren't paying the full cost of the Belmont arena — OVG and the Wilpons are paying some, presumably to be repaid out of concert revenues.
The question here is whether the Quebec arena deal and projected attendance is worth giving up (in your calculations) $12 million a year in cable revenues. I'd call that a decided "Who the hell knows?" Suffice to say it would be a move on par with the Sonics going to Oklahoma City, which doesn't happen often, though I suppose the one time it did happen is proof of concept.
aqib: Don't forget that there is no path to the arena in QC that doesn't include selling the team to Pierre-Karl Peledeau… who holds the operating rights to the arena and is it's naming rights sponsor. Sso the present owners can sell (probably for a nice profit) and leave the NHL world if they like… but then, they can do that by selling a NY market team if they want.
Aqib on March 14, 2019 at 12:20 pm said:
I was answering in context of if the team was put up for sale would you pay more than a local buyer even though that meant walking away from the cable deal. So if I'm PKP and I'm making a bid I'm factoring in cash flow that may have lower TV revenue but no arena debt service and likely more gate revenue. My point is simply that the TV deal in and of itself isn't enough to make it worth building a new arena to stay when other options exist. Its not like you will get $0 TV revenue elsewhere and you won't have as much in arena debt service while you'll also have an easier time with gate revenues because no matter where you are on Long Island you're going to have issues with people being able to get to the game in time for a 7PM puck drop with the traffic and the working hours you have in NY.
Terry Holderbaum on March 13, 2019 at 12:47 pm said:
Forgive my ignorance. But why couldn't the arena be situated north of Belmont in that appears to be a parking lot. Surely they could put a garage in there to make up for lost spaces. If they do that it seems like they could have direct access to the trains without having to do the turn around?
Looking at this:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Belmont+Park/@40.7191481,-73.7270746,555m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xa1a68b18340623eb!8m2!3d40.7139685!4d-73.7174873
You'd have to build a whole new station, and I don't see enough room for a platform without tearing down a bunch of houses. And you'd need to build a bridge over the tracks as well to get people to the westbound side…
At the risk of asking a "too simple" non New Yorker question, where are the majority of Islander fans today living?
When I was a youngster watching games on TV, the Coliseum seemed reasonably full. I think it was reasonably well known even then that getting to Coliseum wasn't convenient for a lot of people, but the team was good (sometimes great) and attendance was pretty good by NHL standards of the day.
As time (and sports business) changed, though, the Islanders fortunes both on and off the ice did went south. A lot of that was self inflicted damage. But what are the "non franchise" reasons that have contributed?
The notion I was always given was that the arena was built on 'cheap land in the middle of nowhere', so nobody was willing to go there. I doubt that was ever actually true, but it does seem that there has been additional development built heading 'eastward' in the decades since that used to be said.
Is that accurate?
If so, and enough well heeled fans already live within reasonable commuting distance to support a well run franchise, what do the owners think they can achieve by abandoning this fanbase in favour of another location?
You can understand a team leaving a location that does not have enough fans/discretionary spending to support it. But that doesn't seem to be the case here.
One thing is that in the 70s and 80s a lot of companies were moving out of the city and into suburban office parks. However that trend has reversed. Not saying there are no jobs on Long Island but the types of jobs that give you the income where you can afford going to NHL games is more than likely in the city and you're commuting. Long Island traffic is terrible. Put it in perspective I went to a Browns game at the Meadowlands and a Browns game in Cleveland in back to back weeks. In both cases I left the parking lot at 5 (an hour after the game). It only took me an extra hour to get to my house in Long Island from Cleveland (500 miles) than it did from the Meadowlands (50 miles). Getting to a 7PM puck drop from Manhattan is very difficult because the LIRR horrible (I haven't ridden it since 04 but my friends tell me its gotten worse). So while there are enough people living on the Island who do or would be interested in supporting the Islanders, being able to get to games will be a challenge.

October 2020 by Dan Thomas. Lindsay to Fenelon Falls and beyond. 64 km round trip, but you can shorten the ride by turning around sooner.
This route starts at Old Mill Park in Lindsay and rides north along the Victoria Rail Trail. It begins with a scenic ride along the Scugog River in Lindsay. After about 1 km, you'll ride few blocks through quiet streets in Lindsay, where you'll get on the Victoria Rail Trail and head north. The trail is paved for a few kilometers north of Lindsay and then changes to a well-maintained trail of crushed rock. Perhaps the smoothest rail trail I've ever ridden on, at least in October of 2020. As with most rail trails, you'll cross roads with little to no traffic. The trail is a mix of forested and rural fields. In Fenelon Falls, you'll cross the bridge over Lock 34 on the Trent Severn Waterway and then ride through quiet Fenelon Falls, staying on the Victoria Rail Trail where it runs next to Cameron Lake. We did this ride in October and the fall colours north of Fenelon Falls were spectacular. About 7 km north of Fenelon Falls, we turned around and headed back south, following the same route back to Lindsay. It is an extremely flat ride, with only mild grades and no big hills. Here is the route in Ride with GPS and 2 pictures of the view in early October 2020.

Soleimani's Killing: War Clouds Gather
For Iran, the killing represents more than just the loss of a battlefield commander
Wednesday January 8, 2020 7:07 PM, Asad Mirza, ummid.com
The targeted killing of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of Iran's elite Quds Force, could draw forceful Iranian retaliation against American interests in the region and spiral into a far larger conflict between the U.S. and Iran.
The killing of Gen Qasem Soleimani, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps/ Quds Force is one of the biggest developments in the Middle East for decades - it far outdo the deaths of Bin Laden or Baghdadi in terms of strategic significance and implications.
In the past, Israel has repeatedly spurned the opportunity to kill Soleimani for the fear of consequences of taking out Iran's most powerful operative in the world, someone whose power is surpassed only by Iran's Supreme Leader.
For Iran, the killing represents more than just the loss of a battlefield commander, but also a cultural icon who represented national pride and resilience while facing U.S. sanctions. Soleimani rose to prominence by advising forces fighting the Daesh in Iraq and Syria on behalf of the embattled Assad.
Gen. Soleimani headed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps besides The Quds Force, which is the branch of Iran's security forces responsible for operations abroad. For years, whether it be in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria or elsewhere, Soleimani has been a key player in expanding and extending Iran's influence through planning attacks or bolstering Tehran's local allies.
Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said that Iran would respond to the U.S. strike with "harsh retaliation," while a former commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps vowed "vigorous revenge."
Russia's foreign ministry and top politicians also criticised the U.S. strike, and said that it would increase the possibility of a regional conflict. U.K. Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab urged all parties to de-escalate, as further conflict is in none of our interests, he said. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that the U.S. had embarked on an "illegal power" move and called for dialogue with Iran.
On the other hand, at a press conference, U.S. President Donald Trump said, "We took action last night to stop a war, not to start a war." It's still yet unclear what legal authority the United States relied on to carry out the attack.
American presidents claim broad authority to act without the approval of the Congress when U.S. personnel or interests are facing an imminent threat. However, the Pentagon did not provide evidence to back up administrations assertion that Soleimani was planning new attacks against Americans.
Several defence experts and politicians have questioned the president's move including the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senator Ben Cardin, a Maryland Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee criticised the lack of presidential consultation with Congress before launching the decapitation strike. In the latest developments, the Pentagon has refused permission to attack Iranian cultural and religious sites.
For India any escalation in the region could complicate its interests. India imports a significant amount of oil and gas from the region. It is developing Iranian port of Chahbhar eyeing easier trade route to central Asia. Any change in regional equations might impact its relations with Afghanistan and Pakistan besides its counter-terrorism concerns. It could also have an impact on its relations with US, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Israel. Additionally, its oil bill is bound to increase.
Moreover, India stands nowhere in the emerging scenario when the Indian leadership was not informed by the US authorities of its attack on Soleimani. On its part, the Indian FM called the US NSA and Iranian FM on his own
Now what happens next is the big question.
Crude oil prices soared in the international markets after the killing and though most analysts expect Iran to shy away from a full-scale showdown with the U.S. military, they do expect to see more attacks by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Iran-backed militias inside Iraq. At the same time, Iran-backed terrorist proxies such as Hezbollah could undertake destabilisation operations across the region on their own.
But a bigger potential threat is the acceleration in Iran's quest for a nuclear weapon. Iran has announced that it would no longer abide by any restrictions on its nuclear program. Those limits were the centerpiece of the 2015 nuclear agreement that had checked Tehran's efforts to build a nuclear weapon before the Trump administration unilaterally withdrew from the multiparty accord in 2018.
By saying it's no longer bound by any nuclear restrictions, Tehran has come one big step closer to scrapping the deal. That nuclear acceleration, on top of any Iranian strikes on regional energy infrastructure, could threaten Israel and "could add to the risk of regional conflict, further pressuring crude to the upside," ClearView Energy Partners, a think tank has opined in one of its reports.
However, Tehran doesn't have any good options — and it knows that. For Tehran to save face, this dramatic U.S. operation demands some urgency to retaliate. The first Iranian response has come in the shape of 22 rocket attacks on Iraqi bases where American and coalition forces are based.
A full-blown war with the U.S. could jeopardise regime survival, and an escalation in the Persian Gulf will deprive Iran of what remains from its decimated oil income. Yet, in Iraq and in Lebanon, there might be chances of some sort of retaliation. In any case, the Pandora's box has been opened.
Some regional experts said that the U.S. attack, while eliminating a powerful force in Iran's regional ambitions, risks setting off a chain of unpredictable events.

This manuscript was misidentified for centuries. Probably made in Paris about 810-820, it is a copy of the 5th-century 'On the Apocalypse' ('In Apocalypsin') by Caesarius of Arles, although it was mistitled as being the commentary by Augustine of Hippo--possibly an attempt to elevate its intellectual clout but probably just passing on an earlier manuscript's error. By the 11th century, it was at St Augustine's, Canterbury, possibly one of the manuscripts brought from the Continent to upgrade Anglo-Saxon monastic libraries. Theologians at St Augustine's would have used it in their Bible study, and it is possible that scribes would have studied its beautiful, clear handwriting as a model to bring Anglo-Saxon book art in line with international styles. Parts of it may have been read aloud during the monks' daily prayer services since hymns and prayers were added to it in Canterbury. Nevertheless, the librarians who inscribed titles in it continued to identify it as St Augustine's commentary.
On the last page of the section of added prayers and hymns, an artist has drawn a head, perhaps meant as a portrait of Gregory or Augustine of Canterbury, who are mentioned in the hymn above. The drawing probably was made about the time the prayers and hymns were added, in the third quarter of the 11th century. The hymn is specific to St Augustine's. It praises Gregory, who sent Augustine (of Canterbury) to convert the Anglo-Saxons at the end of the sixth century, and has musical notations above its verses.

Monteliusvägen är ett promenadstråk norr om bebyggelsen vid Mariabergets höjder på Södermalm i Stockholm, invigt 1998. Det erbjuder en vidsträckt vy över Riddarfjärden.

Beskrivning

Monteliusvägen är uppkallad efter professor Oscar Montelius. Han var arkeolog och historiker och blev ledamot i Svenska Akademien 1917. Han föddes och avled i det efter honom uppkallade Monteliushuset vid S:t Paulsgatan nr 11 på Södermalm.

Monteliusvägen löper över parkmark som avsattes för ändamålet i en detaljplan som vann laga kraft den 19 december 1977. Detaljplanen gäller för hela Mariaberget och upprättades sedan Stockholms stad beslöt att bevara Mariabergets historiska bebyggelse (se Söder 67).

Det 416 meter långa promenadstråket löper på branten högt över Söder Mälarstrand. Vägen börjar vid Kattgränd och Öbergska gården i väster, där trappor ansluter till Torkel Knutssonsgatan respektive Bastugatan. Stigen slutar i öster vid Bastugatan nr 16 i höjd med Cederborgska villan. Längs vägen finns flera terrasser och parkbänkar, några med fasta bord, varifrån man har en grandios utsikt över Riddarfjärden, södra Kungsholmen, Riddarholmen och Gamla stan.

Från Monteliusvägen finns ingångar till Ivar Los park och Olle Adolphsons park samt en trappanslutning till Timmermansgatan. Vägen passerar över en grund från en väderkvarn (troligen Stora Pryssan). Delar av kvarnstenarna kan ses insprängda i närliggande stödmurar. Några av de små terrasserna vägen går över är rester av täppor där tobak odlades förr. Bland bevarade byggnader märks Rangströmska gården där tonsättaren Ture Rangström bodde och verkade från 1908 fram till sin död 1947.  Huset känns igen på den karakteristika glasverandan med en av Stockholms bästa vyer över Riddarfjärden.

Inför anläggningen förekom protester mot bygget. Ett generellt argument mot stråket var att konstruktionen med långa längsgående svartmålade trästaket förändrade Mariabergets profil för mycket. Mer specifikt protesterade flera av de boende på norra sidan Bastugatan, som i många fall kunnat använda allmänningen som avskiljd trädgård, mot att stråket kom att inkräkta på privatlivet. Bland andra var Ingemar Unge mycket aktiv motståndare mot bygget. Försök med namninsamlingar blev dock ingen framgång, då de boende i området som inte bodde i omedelbar anslutning till den tänkta sträckningen snarare fick bättre åtkomst till Mariaberget och utsikten därifrån.

20 år senare började vägen anläggas efter samråd och omprojektering. Det nya förslaget med vägdragning utanför stödmurarna arbetades fram av landskapsarkitekt S-O Hagman på beställning av Gatu- och Fastighetskontoret. Projektledare var Frank Lange, landskapsarkitekt och konsult inom parkanläggningar. NCC genomförde anläggningsarbeten. All material- och masshantering sköttes med kranar från Södra Mälarstrand. Vägen invigdes i augusti 1998. Vägen kostade fjorton miljoner kronor att bygga vilket var dubbelt upp mot det som var budgeterat från början (för gamla dragningsförslaget) men då passade Gatu- och Fastighetskontoret på att restaurera alla stödmurar utmed Mariaberget som var i dålig kondition. Vägen och räcken dimensionerades att kunna motstå ett högt publiktryck som kan vara tiotusentals besökare vid eventuella evenemang på Riddarfjärden. Under 2017–2018 renoverades Monteliusvägens räcken.

Wellness is a way of life that is based on being balanced, healthy and fulfilled in your everyday life. What daily activities do you do just for your mind and body? .
Everyday I have a list of things I do just for me to keep me healthy and happy all the time! It changes but these are the most important things for my wellness lifestyle. You may have you own ideas of what works for you.
My task for you in the next coming weeks is to start making lists. Prioritize what you want to get done and tackle one major thing a day. Figure out what is the best way to get a workout in or start reading that book you keep saying you're going to finish. Make sure you enjoy whatever task you set your mind to. Be yourself in everything you do and it will come naturally.
Planning ahead is the best way to get anything accomplished!
Let me know if you need help because making lists and staying organized are my favs!
*hint... I use apps to get this stuff done and I put it all in a folder on my phone labeled "everyday"
