Born and raised in rural southwestern Ontario, I relocated to Toronto in the early eighties and worked for various corporations in international sales and marketing positions until I made the decision to work for myself.
I have been a licensed Realtor® since 1995. My Real Estate career began in Toronto with Bosley Real Estate where I gained invaluable experience in the aggressive downtown market. After several successful years with Bosley Real Estate, I relocated to Guelph in 1998 and devoted the next few years to family and raising my two sons. I resumed my real estate career in Guelph in 2005 and made the move to TrillliumWest Real Estate Brokerage as one of their first Realtors when they opened their doors in 2014. The decision to move to TrilliumWest is one I have never regretted and I look back on the early days with this forward-thinking organization with great fondness. I have had the pleasure of mentoring many new Realtors and continue to enjoy doing so.
I have always lived in the downtown area of Guelph where I have helped many area residents buy and sell their homes. I have a fondness for century homes and know exactly how to successfully market these wonderful older homes and neighbourhoods. My expertise extends to all areas of Guelph and all types of real estate including investment properties.
Real Estate is a people business and I am a people person. I understand that the process of selling and buying property is one of the most stressful times in most people's lives and that everyone's situation is unique. For most, their home is their largest and most cherished possession. My down to earth and caring approach enables me to get the job done with as little disruption as possible to my clients while helping them to achieve their goals personally and financially. I provide support, advice, experience (and a little bit of levity!) each step of the way.
I have been a licensed Realtor® for twenty-four years and have worked in all market climates. I have the expertise to skillfully navigate my clients through all aspects of the buying and selling process. I am a skilled negotiator and my clients appreciate how this impacts their bottom line whether buying or selling.
I work to a very high standard of service, understanding that my own success has always been built on the confidence that my clients show in me through repeat business and referrals.
I have a trusted group of professionals that I rely on. I am well connected with lenders, real estate lawyers, building inspectors and others that provide services required during a real estate transaction. Having these referrals available reduces stress for my clients who would otherwise source these services on their own.
During the course of a typical real estate transaction, many roadblocks can and often do arise. Having a skilled negotiator and problem solver in your corner is calming and reassuring. Having one who can also make the experience of buying and selling fun is even better. Let's talk.

Joomla! attends #HostingCon Global 2016
Mike "Demo" Demopoulos
Joomla made its first appearance at HostingCon Global 2016 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Billed as "The Premier Industry Conference for the Worldwide Hosting and Community", the conference/expo seemed like the perfect venue to showcase Joomla! We were asked to present a 2-hour workshop and given an expo booth to share Joomla with the community.
HostingCon Global kicked off on Sunday afternoon with our 2-hour workshop, "Supporting Joomla to Better Service Customers and Create New Revenue." We went over all of the different methods and reasons to get involved and volunteer with the Joomla! Project, ways you can give back to the community, and how it can help your ROI (Return On Investment). Jonathan Gafill from CloudAccess.net joined us to give his case study and answer questions about Joomla hosting. Aleksander from Perfect Dashboard/JED volunteer was in attendance and shared his Joomla story with the audience. This session was well attended and opened the door to several new partnerships.
Monday was full of sessions, and the exposition hall opened with over 250 exhibitors. We were able to attend several sessions and workshops on marketing and shared our open source community experience. Our booth was packed from start to finish, and we were very excited to represent the project at such a large scale event. Many of the other CMSes and site builders were in attendance, but Joomla was the only CMS to have its booth. (Special thanks goes out to HostingCon Global 2016 for making this possible.)
In our discussions, we noticed that most of the attendees did not know that Joomla was a not-for-profit entirely volunteer powered project, and they thought we were corporate backed just like some our other competitors. We spent a lot of time educating, handing out Joomla stickers and talking about the new release for Joomla! 3.6. Monday evening was the opening night reception, and we met hundreds of users of Joomla, and all were excited to see Joomla! being represented.
Tuesday was focused on the exposition hall and manning the Joomla booth. As we interacted with the attendees, we started seeing some common trends. Many of the hosting companies were excited about the Joomla! 3.x series, as the past security issues facing the legacy versions, have troubled them over the years. They were quick to point out though that Joomla's security issues have bothered them far less than some of the other CMSes. We also got positive feedback on the platform verse other CMS. The community as whole embraces Joomla! as a powerful CMS while understanding all the misconceptions about it compared to the other systems.
They praised the current state of backward compatibility and smooth migration. In our Sunday workshop, we discussed ways to assist Joomla! users that can also benefit their business. In addition to hosting companies, a good number of web developers were in attendance, and this is where we got the most positive feedback from. The developers were outgoing and excited to meet volunteers involved in the project. It is evident that web developers love Joomla! HostingCon Global also was happy to have us. Cheryl Kemp, the conference content director, said, "We are so excited the Joomla! project participated in hosting this year. Open-source projects are a vital part of our ecosystem, and what they bring to the industry is great."
Our mission for the conference was to increase visibility, educate hosting companies on how to market Joomla! to their customers, and create new partnerships. We had over fifty one-on-one meetings with potential Joomla! partners and sponsors. The event was a complete success on all levels.
Overall, we learned that our presence at such events is needed. Developers choose Joomla! first, and marketing Joomla! works.
If you can make it, we suggest you attend the upcoming HostingCon Europe in Amsterdam this October.

Q: Asp.net Dictionary - Replace hard coded values with database values I'm trying to implement this tag cloud:
http://thetagcloud.codeplex.com/
...and I need the replace the hard-coded values below with those coming from my database?
    <%= new TagCloud(   new Dictionary<string, int> {
                        {"C#", 58},
                        {"ASP.NET", 45},
                        {"VB.NET", 36},
                        {"AJAX", 24},
                        {"LINQ", 13}
                    },
                    new TagCloudGenerationRules
                    {
                        TagToolTipFormatString = "Tag weight: {0}",
                        TagUrlFormatString = "search.aspx?p=1&tag={0}"
                    }) %>

I've created the following sql string which returns the data in the format expected string/int or value/key
SELECT Tag, COUNT(Tag) AS Counter
FROM         dbo.CtagCloud
GROUP BY Tag
HAVING      (COUNT(Tag) > 3)
ORDER BY Counter DESC

A: Hmm, I've had a super brief look, just glazing over that sample code. I suspect you need to pass in an Array (value pairs) not a string.
Just loop through each records returned and add it to an array. Then pass that array into the TagCloud object.

A: here's my data access code
 // SQL Select Command
    SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
    SqlCommand mySqlSelect = new SqlCommand("SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT Tag, COUNT(Tag) AS Counter FROM dbo.CtagCloud GROUP BY Tag HAVING (COUNT(Tag) > 3) ORDER BY Counter DESC", conn);
    mySqlSelect.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
    SqlDataAdapter mySqlAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(mySqlSelect);
    DataSet myDataSet = new DataSet();
    mySqlAdapter.Fill(myDataSet);

    // create an instance for ArrayList
    ArrayList myArrayList = new ArrayList();

    // foreach loop to read each DataRow of DataTable stored inside the DataSet
    foreach (DataRow dRow in myDataSet.Tables[0].Rows)
    {
        // add DataRow object to ArrayList
        myArrayList.Add(dRow);
    }

June 11, 2018 Political prisoners
Fifth Demirtas Hearing Takes Place Two Weeks Before Election
Written by Margaret Owen (pictured), International Trial Observer and Barrister
Friday 8th June
I have returned to Istanbul in order to observe the fifth hearing of the trial of former HDP co-chair: Selahattin Demirtas. Given that Turkey's presidential election is only two weeks away, we the international observers, anticipate a final verdict.Selahattin Demirtas has been detained since November 2016 in Edirne prison under anti-terror law. He faces numerous charges and is accused of making terrorist propaganda.
The prosecution and trial of Demirtas has been one of the greatest scandals in Europe of recent years. The hearing, taking place at the biggest court house in Europe, the Caglayan Justice Palace, is of the utmost importance as it is meant to be the AKP's final word on the case. If Demirtas is convicted then it will determine the rest of his political career, and very likely silence the HDP (Peoples' Democratic Party), who are the most effective opposition currently in Turkish politics to President Erdogan and the ruling AKP (Justice and Development Party).
Nevertheless, in spite of Demirtas' incarceration, the HDP executive board has nominated and declared him their candidate for the 2018 presidential election, which will take place on 24th June. There are six other opposition candidates also standing against President Erdogan, but these are empowered by coalitions, whereas Demirtas as the HDP nominee stands alone.
Adding fuel to the already tense atmosphere around the trial is the verdict of the PTT (People's Tribunal on Turkey) delivered to the European Parliament at the end of May. The verdict found that that the Turkish government is guilty of war crimes against the Kurds, not just in Turkey itself, but also abroad in Syria.
Upon arrival at the court it was noticeable that there were very few international observers present. It was later revealed that Demirtas himself had requested supporters to stay away in order to prevent demonstrations that could shift the focus of the election and his candidacy onto the trial.
There were in fact only three international observers and five diplomats in attendance from the British, Norwegian, Swedish, German and Dutch embassies. In the small courtroom, five lawyers were there to represent Demirtas but neither Demirtas himself or his co-defendant, Siri Sureya Onder, were physically present in court.
Ercan Kaner, speaking as leading counsel for the defence, requested a long adjournment for further time for his side to prepare. He pointed to the errors of the court in previous judgments and cited precedents from the ECHR (European Court of Human Rights) jurisdiction to support his submissions of Demirtas and Onder being physically present to offer their defence. This was on the back of the Court's previous decision to effectively consider their defences as having been made in absentia.
Reading between the lines it is clear that an adjournment until after the looming presidential election was the most viable 'political' decision that the judge could make that suited both sides, the AKP and HDP. Given the acceptance of Demirtas' candidacy by the electoral board, the AKP no longer stands to benefit from a swift imposition of a prison sentence as this would be disastrous from a publicity standpoint. Equally for the HDP, they can now concentrate on making gains in the election.
The trial was adjourned until 7th September 2018. It will resume at the Silivri Court in the Silivri Prison Complex.

Family Game Night Idea: Speak Out Board Game Review
My girls added some board games to their holiday wish lists this past year--and one of the girls put the Speak Out game on her list. She explained it to me as "a game where you put in a mouthpiece like at the orthodontist's office and try to say phrases on cards so that your team partner can understand you."...Hmm. I ended up buying the game as a last minute gift to round out her presents. What did we think of Speak Out by Hasbro?
We did not receive a game or compensation for this review. We simply wanted to share our family's experiences with this game.
Moms should step back from the gross out factor of Speak Out. We put this mouthpiece in our mouths? Then what? Burn them and buy new ones? How do I sanitize these things? I can't let other people put them into their mouths after we have put them in our mouths? This is a health risk. This is gross. Why did I buy this game? Okay. The game comes with 10 mouthpieces. You can even buy extra ones in an expansion pack. After each game you can run them through the top rack of the dishwasher, hand wash them, sterilize them, etc. The kids will be okay. (But--do plan to wash the Speak Out mouthpieces and dry them after the players are finished playing!)
Small mouths will have difficulties with Speak Out. After I bought the game, I noticed that the age recommendation was 16+. My girls have friends (under 16) with the game--so we decided to give it a try as a family. My 10 year old could barely fit the mouthpiece into her mouth--and it took me a bit of practice to get used to maneuvering the piece in and out of my own, adult, small mouth between rounds. Some players may not be able to wear the mouthpiece--but, give it a few practice rounds if in doubt because the players should be able to remove the mouthpiece after every turn.
Expect to laugh during a Speak Out game. A Lot. I literally laughed until I cried. It is so funny to watch a person (especially an adult) truly believe that they are saying a word in a certain way--when nobody in the room is hearing the word in that way! One daughter tried to resort to Charades motions to get her words understood (which isn't allowed). The husband just continued to repeat the same garbled words again and again...thinking somehow he was "clarifying" something...making it all hilarious.
Expect to drool during a Speak Out game. A Lot. Have some tissues at the ready during game play. (Maybe some Clorox wipes for the moms playing!) Younger players and/or those with smaller mouths will tend to drool a bit more than others....but, drool will happen and drool will hit the table or game surface during this game. Moms be ready.
Would I recommend Speak Out by Hasbro? I will admit, the mom in me thought that the concept of this game was gross and childish and I really almost didn't buy it--but, I think those gross/ridiculous/childish/drooling factors are what made it so much fun for a family game night. It's just funny to see your family's mouths splayed out like weird fish...and it is a definite break from the ordinary to hear your husband try to say "Perils of Quicksand are Apparent" when his lips can't form a "P" sound and q's and ck sounds are just not going to happen with the mouthpieces.
I am not a fan of "stupid humor" games--and I am a self-proclaimed germ avoid-er. But. This game just made me laugh. The mom in me did break out the Clorox wipes for the table--and I have sanitized the mouthpieces. A few times. After every game. But--this game was just good, "clean" fun--minus the yucky drooling. We had to actually listen to each other and tune into our partners to pick up the phrases and it was a true break from the ordinary board game. And we laughed. A lot. We played multiple rounds of this game and we would play it again and again. (My husband would even play it again.) This game surprised me--but, I am glad that I bought it and I know that my daughters and their friends will play it at every sleepover for years to come. It is just that kind of game!
Now....if you buy the Speak Out game...
The original game has a 16+ age recommendation. The content of the cards was family friendly and the reading level of the phrases was suitable for independent readers; however, the mouthpieces just may be a bit difficult for younger players to use. There is a Kid vs. Adult version available too that is recommended for ages 8 and up. We have not tried this version--but, it includes smaller mouthpieces for kids and larger ones for adults.
Plan to wash/sanitize mouthpieces frequently--and probably plan to buy an extra pack of mouthpieces.
Plan for drool to happen. A lot. Bring a supply of napkins or tissues to the game.
Plan ahead for an alternate game for younger kiddos or those with super tiny mouths (even adults with small mouths) because the game mouthpieces can be uncomfortable (even painful) if they don't fit the player's mouths well!
Buy Speak Out
Buy the Speak Out Game on Amazon
There is also a Kid vs. Parent version of Speak Out with smaller, kid-sized mouthpieces. We have not tried this version.
There is a pack of extra Mouthpieces sized for adults and children available too which I would recommend.

Fairbank Papers : Salonika Diary 1915-1918
Fairbank, Sir (Harold Arthur) Thomas (1876-1961) Knight, Orthopaedic Surgeon
Fairbank Papers

The bound volume contains a transcription of the diary entries found in the exercise books listed at MS Add.10082/7-8 and multiple items pasted into the volume. These include Christmas cards, programmes for sporting events and entertainments, photographs, clippings from newspapers and magazines, pencilled sketches by Fairbank, hand-drawn coloured maps, printed maps. The volume was assembled sometime after the First World War and contains a few non-contemporaneous notes and comments. The 28th Division arrived in Salonika at the end of 1915 to join a combined Franco-British force which had arrived in October 1915 at the request of the Greek Prime Minister. The objective was to help the Serbs in their fight against Bulgarian aggression but the expedition arrived too late, the Serbs having been beaten before they landed. It was decided to keep the force in place for future operations but after December 1915 there was little action except for occasional air-raids on Salonika. During the first half of 1916 the British Salonika Force dug-in, creating a bastion about eight miles north of the city known as the 'Birdcage' on account of the quantity of wire used. At the beginning of October 1916 the British, in co-operation with her allies on other parts of the front, began operations on the River Struma towards Serres. The campaign was successful with the capture of the Rupell Pass and advances to within a few miles of Serres. An offensive was launched by Allied troops in April 1917 but failed and static trench warfare continued until September 1918 when Allied forces successfully broke through Bulgarian defences forcing the Bulgarian Army into full retreat. Bulgaria signed an armistice on 29 September 1918 and fighting ceased the following day. The diary begins with disembarkation at Salonika on 3 December 1915 and the establishment of a camp. There are descriptions of digging trenches and dug-outs for wounded, the trying out of different methods of transporting casualties from aid posts over a terrain of rocky hills and deep gullies, and making preparations for handling wounded. Owing to the long periods of inaction the diary carries few reports of fighting or the treatment of casualties; instead there are descriptive accounts of activities undertaken during periods of rest. Living conditions for soldiers on both sides were harsh. Winter and summer brought extremes of climate and disease, especially malaria which caused many more casualties than fighting. Fairbank frequently remarks on the cold temperatures endured and the treatment of those sick with malaria and diarrhoea. The diary carries reports of the autumn 1916 offensive from 10 September to 18 December when Fairbank returned to England for a period of leave; of Fairbank's involvement in a serious railway accident involving a British troop train in France on 17 January 1918 which killed ten; the bombing of the 29th General Hospital in Salonika on 1 and 5 March 1917; and of the fire which destroyed two-thirds of Salonika from 18 to 20 August 1917. After 11 March 1917 entries become less frequent with only eight entries from 1 April to 6 December. On 6 December 1917 Fairbank was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and appointed as consulting surgeon to the British Salonika Force. His duties included visiting all field ambulance units, lines of communication hospitals (Casualty Clearing Stations and Stationary Hospitals), three General Hospitals and the Surgical Convalescent Depot once a week. There are no entries after 6 December 1917 until 4 August 1918. On 20 August 1918 Fairbank was admitted to the 43rd General Hospital suffering from malaria where he remained until his departure on board the Hospital Ship, Goorkha on 18 September for a period of convalescence in Malta. Fairbank remained in Malta until 26 December 1918. The diary ends with Fairbank's arrival in England on 3 January 1919. There are only five extremely brief entries from 20 August 1918 to 3 January 1919.

It's that time of year where wedding venues open their doors to couples looking for a wedding venue. There are so many options from grand manor houses, to fairytale castles, luxury hotels and idyllic country barns, to name a few. Whichever venue you choose to host your wedding, it is likely you will view a number. It is important you know all the important details about your potential wedding venue. Here I am sharing my top questions to ask wedding venues, before you sign on the dotted line….
There may be different spaces in which you could host different parts of your day. Be sure to know the number of guests that can be accommodated in the different spaces, both for a ceremony, a standing reception and seated. This can help you think about using more than one space for different parts of your day. It can also ensure you don't let your imagination run wild with the impossible. Make sure you know all the possibilities before you make the commitment.
What is the 'Plan B' option?
Linked to the question above but if you have your heart set on an outside ceremony or reception, although your planning will mostly be based on this happening, make sure there is an alternative "Plan B" for inclement weather (think about an unexpected heatwave as well as rain!). For peace of mind, allow for a suitable alternative that you are happy with should you need to decide in the run up to the wedding that the out outdoors option is not going to be possible.
TOP TIP: If you make all your guests comfortable (Think; warm enough, enough shade, seating, enough food and drinks…) they will enjoy your wedding day so much more.
Is the venue licenced for weddings?
With the recent news in the budget last week, this could be a question of the past with the law opening up to allow weddings in any space. For the moment, the law requires you to get married in a licenced venue. If you want to have your ceremony and your reception in the same venue, make sure you know which areas are licenced. Most venues are only licenced for one or two areas.
Is the venue exclusive use?
Some venues hire out specific rooms, others it's the building and others it's the whole venue including the land. Understand what is being hired and make sure you are very clear about this. Every couple is different about what is important to them, but if privacy is a must you may want to consider a venue which is completely exclusive use. Other couples like the idea of other people being around to congratulate them.
There is a wide variety of venue hire types. Ranging from dry-hire where you have to arrange everything from furniture, tableware, caterers and anything else you want at your wedding. To the other end of the scale where it's all there for you, you just choose the menu and what music you want played. Most venues are somewhere in between. Understand what is included from furniture, to glassware, any coordination help and the catering.
What time is their licence until?
Some venues licence for music and alcohol end at 11, others at midnight others at 1am or later. There might also be a possibility for paying for an extended licence. Think about your timeline of the day and think when you might want your wedding to end.
TOP TIP: Generally, 8 hours is a good length for a wedding reception. This would comprise of a 1 hour drinks reception, 3 hours for the wedding breakfast and speeches, and 4 hours of dancing. Think about the time it will take to get from the ceremony to the reception venue (if at a separate venue) and how long the ceremony will last. This is one of my big focuses so I have a lot more to say on this topic but this is a good place to start.
Is there a preferred suppliers list?
Some venues provide a suppliers list where you can choose from a shortlist of different suppliers from caterers to florists, others have a suggested list but allow you to choose whichever suppliers you wish. In some instances an in-house caterer must be used but you are allowed to choose other suppliers e.g. florists, band. Make sure you know what your venue requests in regards to suppliers and check them out before you agree to anything.
Where are popular places for wedding photos?
Have a look at the places suggested for your newly-wed portraits and any group shots you may like. These locations will help you decide if this is the right venue for you. Your photographs are one of the key ways you will remember your wedding day on a daily basis so make sure you like the places for photos.
TOPTIP: Ask the venue to see any photos from past weddings or look online and on social media. This will help you to visualise what your wedding photos may look like.
This is both for the morning before the wedding and after the wedding too. If you're imagining a big production wedding with lots of floral installations and props but want your wedding to start at midday, you need to make sure there is enough setup time. Same with at the end of the day with derigging.
If some of your guests will be travelling from afar what are their nearest accommodation options? Is there a hotel which the venue has a preferred rate for wedding guests? Where does the bride and groom normally stay after their wedding at the venue?
Can we bring our own champagne and wine?
Some venues request you use their champagne and wine, others charge a corkage fee per bottle consumed (this can vary from a few pounds to the costs of the house bottle) others don't charge you anything for bringing your own wine and champagne. If this is important to you, make sure you know the way the venue works.
Are there any additional charges to be aware of?
Some venues add a service charge to your total bill, others quote pre-VAT costs and there may be other charges you are not aware of. Make sure you ask this question and be sure you know the full amount you need to pay so you can budget your wedding accordingly.
Possibly not at the top of your list of things to think about but accidents can happen and you want to be safe in the knowledge that if anything does happen the venue has full insurance to cover anything.
Who from the venue will be the contact leading up to the wedding?
For any questions you have about the venue during the planning process and leading up to the day, who will be your point of contact? Do they offer any other services to assist you in the wedding planning? It's important to know this from the start and be clear how much help you will or won't be given.
TOPTIP: If your dream venue doesn't offer as much help as you might like, consider hiring a wedding planner who can help you keep on track, make suggestions based on professional experience and keep on top of any wedmin you might not have time to do in your already busy life!
Who will be there on the day to make sure the day runs smoothly?
Understand who will be there on the day and what their role will be. It will make you enjoy your day so much more knowing someone is there overseeing everything. Someone keeping an eye on all your guests, making sure they are all happy, overseeing the reception drinks, dinner service and the set-up of the band.
This is a service I offer as part of my full wedding planning, partial wedding planning and month-of wedding planning. I will always be there on the day to make sure all your hard work goes to plan, and any slight hiccups get dealt with quickly, without anyone noticing.


Apple announced the launch of their brand new mobile phone model – iPhone 4 few hours back with some amazing features and decent pricing. Individuals and families can also take advantage of great pricing plans for iPhone 4 with AT&T.
Combining voice calling and data use, pricing begins as low as $54.99 a month with individual plans or just $89.99 a month – providing two lines – with AT&T FamilyTalk plans.
Steve Jobs announced AT&T's "incredibly generous upgrade offer" during his keynote. What it actually means is, current AT&T customers eligible for an upgrade sometime in 2010 can buy the iPhone 4 on its June 24 launch day for $199 (16GB) or $299 (32GB)—if they agree to sign another two year contract.
Customers can pre-order Apple's newest phone from their local AT&T stores or online starting June 15, with it available in-stores June 24. Customers who order from AT&T in advance have the option of shipping their pre-orders directly to their doors.
There is another way of looking at this "incredibly generous offer" of AT&T. The absolute minimum total cost of an iPhone 4 over the two-year AT&T contract is $1,674.52 before taxes, regulatory and miscellaneous fees. This is for just 250MB per month data plan, 450 peak minutes per month, 200 text messages and zero paid applications or downloads.
If you are someone who opt for premium data plans for tethering and other advanced options, then you would feel greater pinch in your pockets. Single subscribers who sign up for the DataPro plan, regularly buy apps and accessorize their iPhones can easily spend $2,500 to $3,000 over the next two years.
AT&T Voice Plan: AT&T's voice plans start at $39.99 for 450 anytime minutes and range up to $119.99 per month for unlimited family plans with two lines of service. Additional family plan users can be added for $49.99 per month.
AT&T Data Plan: Existing AT&T subscribers who already own iPhones can continue to get to unlimited data for $30 per month. However, new subscribers will have to choose between 250MB per month for $15 or 2GB per month for $25. Additional MB/GB are available if you run over this limit and your bill can go well north of $30 if you stream a lot of music or video. Those planning to take advantage of the iPhone 4's many HD video features should budget some extra money each month for overage fees. AT&T is offering some flexibility however and those who are usually connected to WiFi networks at home and work shouldn't have too much trouble. You can see more details about AT&T's new iPhone data plans here.
AT&T Tethering Fee: iPhone 4 owners (as well as those who upgrade their iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS units to iOS 4) will be able to use their devices as mobile modems for their laptops. AT&T will charge $20 per month for 'tethering' your iPhone to your laptop. Once connected to your laptop, it'll be much easier to blow through your 2GB cap if you're a new subscriber. This service is optional and only a minority of iPhone 4 users are expected o sign up for it.
AT&T MMS: Text messages or and Multimedia Messages (SMS and MMS) are not included with AT&T's data plan. You'll have to add on at least $5 per month so you can send/receive up to 200 messages. Of course, AT&T offers more expensive plans for heavier users.
AT&T Activation Fee: Activating an iPhone on AT&T incurs a $36 activation fee.
Extra Tax: If you pay state on local tax on retail purchases, be prepared to pay tax on the total unsubsidized cost of your iPhone. AT&T is technically discounting the iPhone 4.0 by $200 to get to the advertised price points of $199 and $200. Many states, including California, require consumers to pay tax on the unsubsidized price, which means you could spend an extra $20 if you live in a tax-heavy state like California or New York.
AT&T Upgrade Fee: AT&T is offering many existing subscribers an early upgrade option that is accompanied by an $18 upgrade fee. This sounds small in the face of a $299 purchase, but these fees add up.
Insurance: Thought it's not official, AT&T is rumored to start offering iPhone insurance for $13.99 per month. Third party insurance is available at various rates. Many iPhone owners find themselves having to spend money on repairing or replacing broken iPhones.

Targeting 'problem families' is an attack on the poor
The notion of the 'problem family' is not new – it has been linked to repressive measures in the past, writes Paul Michael Garrett
(Pic: » Nic Watts )
With the publication of the government's Respect Action Plan in early 2006, the then prime minister Tony Blair reaffirmed that his government was to "bear down uncompromisingly on anti-social behaviour".
The "problem family" appeared central to this plan – the launch document contained half a dozen references to "problem families" in just three pages.
Dealing with the "problem family" now appears to be an important part of the mixture of policies and programmes that are focused on the "modernisation" of services for children and families. Furthermore, this damaging label is seeping, once again, into professional exchanges centred on children and families. What are we to make of this development?
The social historian John Macnicol has traced the various categories constructed to identify and classify an "undeserving" segment of the population in the late 19th and 20th centuries. "Industrial residuum", "problem families", "underclass", even the "new rabble" have all been used.
Each shifting conceptualisation referred to essentially the same behaviour traits (fecklessness, lack of foresight) alleged to belong to the group identified. Importantly, each classification was connected to biological metaphors of breeding, and so related directly to the family.
The "problem family" invites particular attention because of its reactivation by New Labour. The Wood Committee, set up in 1926, referred to the "social problem group". It was the publication of Our Towns by the Women's Group on Public Welfare in 1943 that led to the "problem family" becoming a commonplace term.
The study was the result of a resolution from the National Federation of Women's Institutions deploring the conditions of English town life revealed by wartime evacuation. Significant was the notion that a "submerged tenth" of the population had "problem families" among them. Families were "always on the edge of pauperism and crime, riddled with mental and physical defects, and in and out of the courts for child neglect, a menace to the community".
These families were perceived as a breeding ground for "juvenile delinquency". Frequently, it was the mother of the family who was identified as the chief obstacle to living a "normal life", on account of her alleged failure to be appropriately domesticated.
Commentators and policy analysts also looked to Europe. Penelope Hall, in her popular guide to social services in England in the 1950s, referred to some experiments being conducted in the Netherlands.
In Rotterdam, she found that "socially weak" families were transferred to a group of dwellings called the Zuidplein Project that housed 570 families. Here they were "re-educated socially with a view to rehousing among normal families in another part of town". Similar experiments had also been conducted in Utrecht and Amsterdam.
Reflecting in part the eugenicist thinking underpinning these schemes, Hall confided, "Families so separated from the normal community are regarded as 'diseased biological units'…and it is considered proper that for the sake of society in general, such families should be removed to an environment where they are protected against their own inadequacies and there is a chance for the children to develop".
What is striking about the Netherlands initiatives is how closely they resemble certain actions taken in Nazi Germany.
Under the Nazis, "asocials" were portrayed as the "dregs of society", marked by "loose morals", "disinterest in contemporary events", "idleness" and "poverty of mind". The term was applied in a flexible manner to refer to whole families.
"Performance" and "success in social life" were the yardsticks by which individuals and families were measured. Many "asocials", however, failed to achieve an adequate level of "performance" and "success" in social life and were sterilised in accordance with the Law for the Prevention of Hereditarily Diseased Offspring of 14 July 1933.
The historian Lisa Pine has performed valuable work in excavating the history of Hasude, an experimental "asocial colony" set up in Bremen to
re-educate "asocial" families. Hasude was set up in October 1936 on the initiative of SS member Hans Haltermann.
This was the most significant experiment on housing "asocials". At Hasude, it was felt that "asocial families" could be "socially engineered through the imposition of strict control and surveillance, into 'valuable' members of the 'national community'".
It should, of course, be emphasised that it is not being suggested that New Labour – for all its talk of "problem families" and "sinbins" – is seeking to replicate the social policies of the Nazis. Nonetheless it is important to remember the not too distant history of the "problem family" and connected ideas in both Britain and elsewhere in Europe.
Paul Michael Garrett is the author of Remaking Social Work with Children and Families (2003) and Social Work and Irish People in Britain (2004). He works at the National University of Ireland in Galway

Loss of Innocence: "The Catcher in The Rye" and "Rebel Without a Cause"
Essay Topic: Catcher in The Rye
Each day, someone loses his or her innocence due to a seminal moment that changes his or her life forever. This concept of lost innocence is represented in both the novel The Catcher in the Rye and the film Rebel Without a Cause. Protagonists Holden Caulfield and Jim Stark strive to preserve the innocence of others in order to protect them from the turmoil they see every day in the real world. Similarly, both highly developed characters take on the role of protecting someone they care for immensely.
In Rebel Without a Cause, Jim befriends a boy named Plato who has trouble fitting in with the other teenagers at their school. When the two friends and Judy go to an abandoned mansion late at night, Plato opens up and shares his belief that his parents have completely cast him aside. It is apparent to Jim that his friend is beginning to see the true colors of the world, so he steps in to try to preserve his friend's innocence as long as he can. He and Judy pretend to be a couple who are looking at the mansion in hopes of a new home for them and their kids. Plato starts off by pretending to be the real estate broker, but quickly switches to portraying their son when Jim starts acting as a parental figure to him. By acting like a father to to his friend, Jim is allowing him to live the youth Plato is afraid he has already lost. However, in The Catcher in the Rye, Holden talks with his little sister Phoebe about what he really wants to be; a catcher in the rye. He explains what that means when he says "what I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff" (Salinger 173). The "cliff" Holden is referring to is the seminal moment in which innocence is lost. He wants to "catch" or shield them from "[going] over" or growing up. Holden knows what it's like to fall off the cliff and see what the world is actually like, so he wants to keep them happy and oblivious of the metaphorical cliff they are constantly nearing.
Holden and Jim share the belief that almost all grown-ups are phonies because they no longer have the innocence that used to make them comfortable in their own skin. Throughout The Catcher in the Rye, Holden is constantly using this term to negatively refer to many adults he encounters. While talking about parents and people of high status,such as priests, he says "I don't see why the hell they can't talk in their natural voice. They sound so phony when they talk" (Salinger 100). He is trying to say that people who don't "talk in their natural voice" are unauthentic and extremely fake. The reason Holden wants to preserve the innocence of others is so that they don't have to camouflage themselves with a phony identity. Instead of thinking that all those who have lost innocence are phonies, Jim just simply believes that they make phony excuses for their own behavior. When trying to open up to his parent's about his involvement of the death of Buzz, his mother reluctantly claims that they are going to move again. Jim tries to explain that their can't just run away from the event because she doesn't want to deal with it. He calls her out on her actions and says that she is always using any phony excuse she can find to move instead of facing the problem at hand. She denies it again which does not surprise Jim because he knows that grown-ups are unauthentic and will use any reason they can think of to get out of their problems.
In both narratives, there is a reoccurring theme of the color blue representing innocence and the color red representing maturity. Toward the end of The Catcher in the Rye, Holden takes Phoebe to a carousel so she can try to grab for the gold rings. He watches her go around and around on the wooden horse and says "my red hunting hat really gave me quite a lot of protection, in a way" and that "[Phoebe] just looked so damn nice…in her blue coat and all" (Salinger 212-213). Right before this, Phoebe puts the hat on Holden's head to keep him safe and because she is not ready to wear it yet. When he sees her in that blue peacoat, Holden knows he's properly kept her safe. The red hunting hat he wears signifies his maturity and gives him "protection" or reassurance that for now, Phoebe still has her innocence. When Plato is shot by the police in Rebel Without a Cause, Jim stays near his friend's lifeless body in grief. He moves Plato's pants up so he can look at his mismatched socks; one is red and one is blue. The different colored socks signify that Plato wanted to feel mature, but he wasn't ready to give up his innocent youth. He was also wearing his friend's red jacket at the time, which was his attempt at showing he was mature like his friend. Before the police carry his body away, Jim cries and zips up his red coat that is on Plato. He is upset because he feels like he has failed his friend by not being able to preserve his innocence. Jim decided to let Plato keep the jacket because he had lost his innocence and seen the world for what it truly is right before his death; he earned it.
Although Jim and Holden do not attempt to make the mature become innocent again, it is because they know lost innocence cannot ever be found. Preserving the youth of the people they care about before they lose it is how they tackle this problem head on. Even though innocence cannot last forever, these two characters want to shield others from the harsh realities of the world for as long as they can in order to make the world a better place.

Q: Where to store data securely from a Windows service? I'm writing a service using C# that is supposed to run on a Windows platform as the "local system". I can store small amounts of data in the registry, but if I want to store more data in a file, where do I place such file in? And also how to protect that data from a modification by users with lower access rights?

A: General approach is to use ProtectedData class to encrypt the data, then store them anywhere on the disk where the application can (eg in a subfolder of LocalApplicationData special folder, whose location you can obtain using Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData call).

A: Update to previous answer that may save some troubleshooting time to people using this solution (as I don't have enough reputation to comment):
For Local System Windows service account, Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData
may also be resolved to
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local instead of C:\Windows\System32\Config\SystemProfile\AppData\Local.
Using the already mentioned CommonApplicationData instead of LocalApplicationData does not bring this issue.

Diego Martinez Vignatti is born in Argentina in 1971. He studied art history, script writing and photography before obtaining his law degree in 1995. The following year, he moved to Europe to study film. He entered the INSAS, the Belgian cinema school in the picture section.
In 2003 he directed his first film "Nosotros", a feature documentary that was selected in several festivals including the International Film Festival Rotterdam (international competition), the Buenos Aires Film Festival (Argentina), Lussas, The Leipzig Film Festival and International documentary Film meeting in Montreal. The film also won the price of the SCAM, France 2004.


The influence of the volume fraction (Vf) of copper, plated at room temperature over a DyBa2Cu3O7−δ-coated conductor, on the tensile strain tolerance and stress tolerance of critical current at 77 K was studied over a wide range of copper Vf values. The copper plating exerts a tensile stress during cooling because copper has a higher coefficient of thermal expansion than the substrate conductor. Before application of tensile strain, the copper plated at room temperature yielded at 77 K when the copper Vf was lower than a critical value, and was in an elastic state at 77 K when the copper Vf was higher than the critical value. The strain tolerance of critical current increased with increasing copper Vf due to an increase in thermally induced compressive strain in the substrate tape. The stress tolerance of critical current decreased with increasing copper Vf because copper is softer than the substrate tape. These results, together with the trade-off between strain tolerance and stress tolerance (i.e., stress tolerance decreases with increasing strain tolerance), were analyzed by modeling. The results show that the restriction imposed by the trade-off, which limits the ability to simultaneously obtain a high strain tolerance and a high stress tolerance, can be relaxed by strengthening the copper.

From exercise to chocolate, there are natural ways you can help lower your blood pressure.
August 11, 2011, 4:29 p.m.
Are you one of the approximately one in three American adults with high blood pressure? If so, here are some general guidelines on how to lower blood pressure.
Perhaps it's the stressful job you've had for years — or the stress of finding a job — that's caused your systolic (pressure while heart beats) and diastolic (pressure in between beats) to soar above "140 over 90" (mmHg), the standard benchmark for high blood pressure.
If you're diabetic or have kidney disease, the National Institutes of Health recommends maintaining a blood pressure under 130/80.
High blood pressure itself usually has no symptoms, but if left untreated, it could potentially lead to coronary heart disease, kidney failure or stroke. There's a good reason high blood pressure, or hypertension as it's also known, is referred to as "the silent killer."
You had me at dark chocolate. Really, dark chocolate helps lower blood pressure?
The above list of ways to lower blood pressure is by no means in order of importance. Exercising, meditating and managing stress, and of course, cessation of unhealthy lifestyle choices are paramount to combating high blood pressure.
But, yes, dark chocolate has been clinically proven to help lower blood pressure. In a study published in BioMed Central, researchers compiled over 50 years of clinical trials that measured the effect of cocoa on blood pressure. The conclusion: dark chocolate was more effective in reducing blood pressure than the placebo, especially for those with hypertension or pre-hypertension.
You also had me at "drink alcohol." That lowers blood pressure as well?
A 2001 study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health studied the health of approximately 20,000 Spaniards and found that those who drank moderate amounts of any alcohol enjoyed better overall health. The Mayo Clinic reports that heavy drinkers who cut back to the recommended level of one to two drinks a day may be able to lower blood pressure by a few points. It's probably a good idea, however, to abstain from alcohol if alcoholism runs in your family, or if you are on medication. Ask your doctor if it's safe for you to consume alcohol in moderation.
I hate exercising. Even if I did like it, I don't have time to go to the gym. What should I do?
Exercising makes the heart muscle pump blood more efficiently. Improve your cardiovascular capacity and your heart won't have to work as hard pumping blood. You don't have to run a marathon or train for a triathlon to get your ticker in better shape. If you have to, wake up earlier or come home from work earlier or take a longer lunch break and take a brisk walk.
Gentle yoga, tai chi and breathing classes all may help to lower blood pressure. You don't have to partake in extreme exercise to lower blood pressure. A University of New Mexico study concluded that although hypertensive individuals were once recommended by the medical establishment to avoid resistance training, moderate levels of it as well as aerobic exercise will reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Ok, I'll give exercise a try. How else can I lower my blood pressure?
Foods and supplements rich in potassium may help lower blood pressure, according to some clinical studies, including a small-scale study at Harvard Medical School. Eliminating or reducing caffeine intake can also help lower blood pressure. If you're on high blood pressure medication, don't quit cold turkey; talk to your doctor first or consult a Naturopath.
Judd Handler is a health writer in Encinitas, California. His blood pressure is slightly elevated because of deadlines.

Gentle Bio-Energetics Institute
People in our History
sharing Dr. Eva REich's healing work with the world
Wilhelm Reich was a young associate of Sigmund Freud in Vienna, Austria in the 1920's. Wilhelm was a brilliant student in the psychoanalytic movement and became a leader of technical seminars. He later began exploring body memories as well as using cognitive processes. He observed the body to see how it expressed what a person talked about. Seeing tight muscles in his patients, Reich might reach out and touch the tight muscles. The clients would often experience an emotional discharge such as crying, or they might remember an early scene of abuse. He discovered that trauma and abuse causes both cognitive and physical armor and that releasing armor can facilitate recovering of our inner core to free our fundamental life energy. Using this process for many years, Reich became a pioneer in integrating cognitive therapy and body memory. He also became a reformer, believing that what we learn from our clients that is destructive to humanity should be applied to social structures to create a healthy society. His work was radical for the 1920's and caused a split between Reich and the psychoanalytic community. Eventually he migrated to the United States and continued his work at his research center in Maine until his death in 1957. Many of the body therapies in the United States and Europe have roots back to Wilhelm Reich's work.
Eva Reich
Dr. Eva Reich moved to the United States in 1938 and eventually became one of her father's closest assistants. She paid particular attention to her father's gentle touch with children and infants and the resulting expansion of their energy. She observed his research that demonstrated light stroking on the surface of the skin resulted in energetic expansion and heavy touch resulted in energetic contraction except for anger. Based on these observations, Eva first developed her butterfly touch and later designed a pattern using that gentle touch that she called Butterfly Touch Massage. The name came from her work with butterflies observing that when holding a butterfly's wings between the fingers the touch should be so gentle that when releasing them that the butterfly's scales would not remain on the fingers. Then, while working with premature babies in Harlem Hospital in New York in the early 1950's, she used butterfly touch and Butterfly Touch Massage, a light delicate touch to help them survive. In her later practice she continued to use a gentle touch and approach to melt armor rather than trying to break it down. She found that this level of touch worked with both adults and children with amazing results. While conducting workshops around the world, she incorporated many tools that were compatible with her approach into Gentle Bio-Energetics, many times changing them to use gentle touch and stimulation.. Eva has dedicated her life to both preventing and healing trauma, out of which armor develops. She was an advocate of improving birthing practices, healthy child rearing and community support of its members. Eva has freely given of herself to help humanity around the world. She often worked with low-income people to improve the quality of their lives. Groups around the world have honored her for her contributions to the world community. As a part of that work, Eva taught her philosophy, theory and techniques in workshops and seminars in 30 countries around the world from the mid 1970's until her retirement in 1992.
Richard Overly
Richard Overly met Eva Reich at one of her workshops in 1985. Impressed with the changes that happened in the lives of those treated with Gentle Bio-Energetics techniques, he attended all the workshops Eva presented in his area through 1990. Richard used the tools in his private practice, assisted Eva in her workshops, and started teaching his own workshops with her endorsement. In 1991 Richard moved to Asheville, North Carolina to continue working in private practice and teaching Gentle Bio-Energetics. Here he began to author training materials and to share his vision of making Gentle Bio-Energetics available to many more people worldwide. In 1997 interested individuals helped establish a not for profit organization, the Gentle Bio-Energetics Foundation with that vision as its mission. The name was changed to Gentle Bio-Energetics Institute to more accurately reflect our commitment to education, in 2002.
Alise Sisk
Alise (Liza) was instrumental in the beginning of the non profit organization of the Gentle Bio-Energetics Institute. Through her generous donations of knowledge and expertise, time and money the Institute became a reality. Liza was the one who did all the leg work to create the legal identity of the non-profit formal organization. At one time she bought a model airplane for the Institute to symbolize our goal of spreading Eva's work in many places. As a result of her dreams and efforts the spreading of the work has become a reality.
Ivar Ozolins
In late 2006, Ivar wrote the Institute inquiring if we were in contact with Eva Reich and if she was still doing workshops. He had studied Reichian work and had met Eva in California. Ivar was building a healing center in Latvia, and wanted to include her in his programs. Since Eva was no longer traveling, he visited our center early in 2007 and studied with Richard. Richard was invited to come to Latvia to present an 8 day training program that summer, organized by Ivar and Ilze Jankovska. This program marked the beginning of our international outreach. We have returned annually for the 8 day training in Latvia through 2015 as well as offering other programs throughout the year. Unfortunately, Ivar became ill the next year and could not continue the training organization. Ivar made the necessary contacts to have the Butterfly Touch Massage DVD translated and produced in Latvian. Many thanks to him as his efforts resulted in our work beginning to spread to Europe.
Sylvia Koh
Sylvia Koh found our website online in 2008 and came to the US to experience the training. She invited Richard to Singapore to teach in March, 2009 and for several years thereafter. As a result of her efforts, a foothold was established in Singapore and Malaysia . We have held a number of trainings in Singapore and Malaysia as a result. Sylvia is certified to teach Butterfly Touch Massage and continues to do so in Singapore and Malaysia. She was an expert practitioner and was responsible for the Chinese translation of the Butterfly Touch Massage book and DVD. Because of her extremely busy schedule others have now taken over the organizational work.

my bestie was in town last week!
why have I been slacking on the pictures lately?? oh yea!! I made a New Years resolution to be "more in the moment" and "spend less time on my phone". so basically, I have been trying to leave my phone alone while spending REAL face time with people. boring! just kidding. (not really).
anyway, my bestest was in town and we had so much fun! there were no plans, no fancy meals, no dressing up, just good old fashion girl time. just like back in the day when we were college roommates and would roll out of our beds and go see what the other is doing, make some coffee, watch Windy Williams & laugh about nonsense. together we caught up on all of the Real Housewives, did some pilates, went shopping!!! it was an awesome 3 days with my sista from anotha mista.
the dogs clearly enjoyed having her in town as well… come visit again soon, Tor Tor!! we miss you!!

Electric dreams... to own: The most reliable hybrid and electric cars you can buy (and the problematic ones) revealed
They usually demand a premium over a comparable petrol or diesel equivalent, which is one of the hurdles slowing the uptake of low-emission cars right now. But with recent reports that Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been considering a scrappage scheme for EVs to help the automotive sector recover from its collapse at the hands of the coronavirus pandemic, there could be a fresh spark in interest in electrified models in coming months. However, motorists will want to know which green cars they can count on - which is where What Car? The car magazine, which polls thousands of vehicle owners every year about life with their motors, has revealed which current pure electric and hybrid machines have the best reliability track records. It comes in the week that the government has confirmed that pure electric owners will be able to fit their cars with green number plates from this autumn - and potentially benefit from being able to park more freely in cities and use bus lanes. While these green plates will exclusively be for battery electric cars only, many drivers are considering a hybrid as a means of bridging the gap from petrol and diesel ownership to full-blown zero-emissions motoring. Here's a countdown of the 10 most reliable electrified models you can buy right now - and the 3 with the lowest dependability ratings from owners... Electrified category: available as a plug-in hybrid and pure electric Price new: from £36,025 (£33,025 with Plug-In Car Grant for EVs only) Price used: from £12,000 (plug-in hybrid range extender version) When the i3 hit the market in 2013, it arguably moved the EV game forward. didn't get enough samples of each version to break it down into separate results, so lumped them in as one group. Some 16 per cent of owners said they had problems in the last year, with the engine the main area of concern on hybrid models. Drivers said that half of cars took more than a week to repair, but most were fixed for free as part of the Korean firm's seven-year warranty. The slick saloon, though expensive, was the first mainstream model to provide blistering pace but also an extended driving range. Like the Auris, the Corolla on sale in showrooms now is available as a petrol or hybrid - and it's built in Burnaston, Derbyshire. The drivetrain for the Auris Hybrid was like-for-like with the Prius - a 1.8-litre petrol engine producing 98bhp and aided by an 80bhp electric motor, with power delivered via a constantly variable automatic transmission (CVT). Sharing technology with its Japanese counterpart, the luxury manufacturers offers self-charging hybrid systems with its range of plush saloons and suave SUVs. This latest fourth generation car - sold since 2016 - is the best yet, with just 5 per cent of owners reporting back saying theirs had gone wrong in the last 12 months. Though a high dependability rating should help the Lexus against the likes of the Jaguar E-Pace, Mercedes-Benz GLA and Volvo XC40. A 99.7 per cent score from drivers suggests it is pretty much fault free. Just 3 per cent of owners with one said they had to have an issue fixed last year, and the only problems were related to the electrical gremlins that were unrelated to the drivetrain. What Car? With a 100 per cent reliability record, it should be an example to buyers that hybrids are just as dependable - if not more so - than petrol and diesel cars and despite the added complexity of, adding batteries and electric motors. What might put potential buyers of is the dated technology in the CT, which has seen it fall behind more advanced rivals on the market. Electrified category: Available only as a self-charging hybrid Price new: from £20,355 Price used: from £6,000 There are a few similarities between the Yaris Hybrid and the Lexus CT, which have tied at the top of the reliability electrified cars rankings. Both have untarnished records, with no breakdowns or repairs required, meaning a 100 per cent reliability score and no costs for owners. A new Yaris is due in 2020, which could see the relatively hefty price tag of these hybrid cars slip as dealers look to make room for new stock. While it might have the third lowest reliability score of any hybrid or electric reported on, a rating of 93.6 per cent is hardly a case of it being a lemon. Only 13% had a problem, with the most common area being interior trim. Fortunately for their owners, all the cars reported with these issues were covered to be repaired for free, though around three-quarters were off the road for more than a week being fixed. It's was launched in 2013 and had for a time been available as a package where you could buy the car outright but lease the battery separately from the French maker. The first-generation came to the end of cycle last year and has since been replaced by a new version with a boosted range of up to 245 miles, according to the official figures, and a starting price of £26,495 (inclusive of the Plug-In Car Grant). Unfortunately, owners of the earlier model reported a high percentage of problems, including a lot of electrical gremlins. Other areas affected included the battery, brakes, interior trim and suspension, which has seen its reliability score slip to 82.3 per cent - the lowest of any electrified mainstream vehicle. *used prices based on lowest model advertised on Auto Trader on 18/06/2020 with fewer than 100,000 miles on the clock and not an insurance write off

Q: Get custom category attribute in block Topmenu I have read a lot of topics but none of them seem to help me.
I have created a custom category attribute with a module like so :
Setup/installData
class InstallData implements InstallDataInterface
{
    private $eavSetupFactory;

    public function __construct(EavSetupFactory $eavSetupFactory) {
        $this->eavSetupFactory = $eavSetupFactory;
    }

    public function install(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
    {
        $eavSetup = $this->eavSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
        $eavSetup->addAttribute(\Magento\Catalog\Model\Category::ENTITY, 'enable_megamenu', [
            'type'     => 'int',
            'label'    => 'Enable Mega Menu',
            'input'    => 'boolean',
            'source'   => 'Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Source\Boolean',
            'visible'  => true,
            'default'  => '0',
            'required' => false,
            'global'   => \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\ScopedAttributeInterface::SCOPE_STORE,
            'group'    => 'General Information',
        ]);
    }
}

view/adminhtml/ui_component/category_form.xml

Now this works , it gets saved in the database and everything.
The next thing is that i need to use the value of that database entry to determine in my Topmenu.php Block if i'm going to change the classes and layout or not.
