Best British summer fashion events.
Words by Youlia Nagaytseva
Investec Derby
An event like no other, on 1 June, the heart-pounding action of the Investec Derby is the ideal way to ring in the summer. Alongside the racing, expect to find a whole host of entertainment, from skydivers to celebrity DJs, after parties and stunning displays of fashion, as well as world-class chefs and restaurants serving up delights throughout the high-octane day.
One of the world's most celebrated tennis events, from 1-14 July over 500,000 spectators will gather on the grassy green South London lawns. The only Grand Slam event on the circuit held on grass, it is also one of the most illustrious social events of the season. And that's far from the only impressive fact about the English tournament, it's also the oldest tennis competition in the world, having started in 1877.
Undoubtedly the best-known regatta in the world, Henley is a highlight of both the summer sporting calendar and the social season. Established in 1839, this year the race takes place on the River Thames from 3 to 7 July. Each year, the regatta attracts thousands of spectators to cheer on the jubilant 200 races, all of an international standard and many attracting both Olympic rowers and crew.
Cartier Queen's Cup Final
The Queen's Cup has been played at Guards Polo Club under the patronage of HM The Queen since 1945. One of the top five polo tournaments in the world, it attracts the biggest names in the game and this year takes place on 16 June. The iconic players of the past include Eduado Moore, Carlos Gracida, Adolfo Cambiaso and Facundo Pieres. It is also a prime event for star gazing, celebrities who have attended in the past include, HRH Prince Harry, Joan Collins, Tinie Tempah, James Blunt, Emma Watson and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.
Britain's most valuable race, each year Royal Ascot attracts the world's finest racehorses to compete for millions of pounds in prize money. The perfect occasion for socialsing, Royal Ascot is revered for its sartorial catwalk – both colourful fashions as well as the most magnificent millinery creations. Heritage, unparalleled racing, high fashion, fine dining and pageantry all come together to create this unforgettable offering.

Chaos broke out on the night of Oct. 2 as party fever turned to panicked frenzy. Around 12:30 a.m., Ogden police lit up the corner of Grant Avenue and Historic 25th Street in response to reports of random attacks and a series of subsequent brawls.
As the bars entered their final hour and intoxicated patrons spilled out onto the sidewalks of 25th, an unidentified woman went on a rampage, assaulting bystanders seemingly at random.
One witness gave his account of the initial incident.
According to Lane Oberg, a security guard at Lucky Slice and a detective with the Bountiful Police Department, the woman attacked at least two people — a move that triggered the alcohol-fueled tensions of bystanders and resulted in a number of fights.
"From what I was able to figure out, there were seven or eight separate incidents all at the same time," Oberg said. He emphasized that such a high number of incidents is not typical for the area.
"Arguments, fights, domestic disturbances you see all the time. One on one, two on one, sure. Maybe multiple a night. But where there's so many fights that break out relating to a single incident — that's not very common," said Oberg.
In an effort to contain the scene, officers shut down Alleged, a popular bar, half an hour before its scheduled closing time.
While Ogden has been making a diligent effort in recent years to reduce crime rates, locals expressed mixed feelings about the efficacy of those endeavors.
McKenna, who works as a delivery driver for Lucky Slice, spends much of his weekend traversing the streets of downtown Ogden.
However, Oberg did suggest that people remain vigilant and aware of their surroundings while out on the town. If violence does arise, he recommends that bystanders contact the authorities and move to a safer place.
This is especially important to remember as seasonal festivities get underway, Oberg added. "Halloween is usually a rough time of year," he said.
As of Tuesday, there had been no arrests made in connection with this incident, and the Ogden City Police Department has not returned questions from The Signpost.


Abstract This study attempted to quantify the effect of microwave-assisted desorption of water vapor from a zeolite packed bed. Specifically, an experiment was carried out comparing water vapor desorption using hot air and microwave heating. In the experiment, the temperature in the zeolite packed bed and humidity at the inlet and outlet of the adsorption column were measured. Then, the heat transfer behavior was quantified by calculating the heat balance of a zeolite packed bed, and the effect of microwave irradiation was examined. The results showed that microwave heating is effective for desorption at the beginning.

Field Report: The Honmaru Palace of Nagoya Castle, Japan (28 November 2018)
20th Jul 2019 · by Diego	· in Japan, Japan 2018 (3rd), Travel.	·
I've long had a keen interest in the ambitious project to resurrect the lost Honmaru Palace of Nagoya Castle: quite possibly one of the most magnificent examples of 17th-century Japanese architecture to have survived from the Edo Period. (Well, up until it was reduced to cinders by Allied bombing in 1945.) Over the course of multiple visits, I've been privileged to witness the rebirth of this grand architectural treasure as it rose from the ground in stages, gradually reversing its complete destruction near the end of the Second World War. This past November, I returned to the palace and was delighted to see the wraps finally come off from its last major sections – their grandeur revealed for a new generation to behold.
Even though I've already described large parts of the palace complex through previous field reports – click here to read more – I'd like to walk ourselves through the building yet again, from start to finish, taking time to fully appreciate even those areas we've already seen in my past posts.
To keep this post's length within reasonable limits, I've decided not to include the usual brief historical background, whether of the castle as a whole or the palace in particular. Instead, I'll supply a set of links at the end that will lead to other websites with further details.
Finally, in order to help flesh out the experience as fully as possible, I shall occasionally make use of pictures taken during my previous visits to the Honmaru Palace – this accounts for differences in lighting or other elements that you might notice below. To document the current visit, I relied on a mobile phone camera, which was up to the task in most respects but not as well suited to taking wide-angle shots as the standalone cameras I'd previously employed. The name of each image file incorporates the date on which it was taken, in case that's of interest.
Now then, a reminder of our present whereabouts.
The city of Nagoya (名古屋), capital of Japan's Aichi Prefecture…
…at the heart of which stands Nagoya Castle (名古屋城, Nagoya-jō), seat of the Lords of Owari Domain – a branch of the ruling Tokugawa house – during the Edo Period…
…within whose walls, secure at the centre of the innermost enceinte, stands the newly rebuilt Honmaru Palace (本丸御殿, Honmaru Goten).
To keep ourselves correctly orientated, let's have a look at a floor map of the Honmaru Palace.
Our tour begins in front of the Honmaru Palace's ceremonial entryway, the kurumayose ("carriage porch")…
…although we're not going to enter the building through that hallowed portal. As mere commoners, unworthy to pollute those noble steps which are reserved for daimyō and other esteemed visitors, we must scurry towards the side entrance.
Shoes safely tucked away in lockers, we proceed down a set of interior passageways in our socks…
…eventually emerging into the Genkan (玄関), a suite of rooms making up the entrance hall of the Honmaru Palace.
Here's a shot of the kurumayose fron within the palace, looking towards the outside.
The two waiting rooms of the Genkan – with the ichi-no-ma on the left ranked higher than the ni-no-ma on the right – feature screen paintings of tigers and leopards set against a background of shimmering gold leaf.
Luxurious, but a mere foretaste of the splendour that awaits. To get there, we proceed down the ō-rōka ("grand corridor")…
…and enter the Omote Shoin (表書院), originally completed in 1615 as the first of the Honmaru Palace's three major halls. This section (together with the Genkan) was also the first to be reconstructed, opening to visitors in 2013.
Here we find a set of four rooms (not counting a storage room in the rear), rising progressively in rank as we move closer to the part where the Lord of Owari Domain himself – master of the Edo Period han that was centred on Nagoya – sat in gilded splendour. Naturally, the social status of the visitor would determine which room he will be invited to sit in.
The largest chamber in terms of area, the san-no-ma ("third room"), is the lowest ranked…
…followed by the smaller but more senior ni-no-ma ("second room")…
…which leads into the higher-status ichi-no-ma ("first room")…
…which is itself directly before the jōdan-no-ma ("upper room"), whose raised floor – visible from the ichi-no-ma – provides an appropriately elevated position from which the master of the house might conduct a formal audience.
After turning right and following another corridor, we'll soon find ourselves in the palace's second major hall: the Taimenjo (対面所), rebuilt in 2016.
Like those of the Omote Shoin, the rooms of the Taimenjo are ranked for visitors of varying status, but there's a noticeable dissimilarity between the decorative schemes of the two wings. Here, the painted screens – whilst also lavishly decorated – are more subtly grounded against backgrounds of white, cream, and yellow, rather than the blinding gold of the Omote Shoin. This reflects a key difference in the use of the two halls: the public Omote Shoin, for hosting formal audiences and official functions; and the comparatively intimate Taimenjo, which offers a more secluded and relaxed setting for banquets, receptions, and confidential meetings between the castle lord and his vassals.
Next, we proceed down the Sagi-no-rōka (鷺之廊下), here viewed from the other end (looking back towards the Taimenjo).
As we progress deeper into the palace, even the ceilings themselves begin to reflect a change in status – no longer just of individual rooms, but of entire sections. Note, for example, the relatively simple panels above a hallway in the Taimenjo…
…which develop into a more elaborate grid of black lacquered bars with gilded metal fittings, as seen in the Sagi-no-rōka.
The ceiling is further transformed as we exit the Sagi-no-rōka and enter the third major hall of the Honmaru Palace: the spaces now neatly painted, and the golden joint covers extending further as they wrap around the chamfered edges of the crossed beams. Observe also the crest of the ruling Tokugawa house set within each ornament, which offers a clue to our present whereabouts…
…the glorious Jōrakuden (上洛殿). Its magnificently decorated rooms, unparalleled in splendour by any other in the palace, were constructed in 1634 for the exclusive use of the ruling shōgun and his entourage whenever they happened to be visiting Nagoya Castle. This wing was the last to be rebuilt, opening just shortly before I visited in the autumn of 2018.
The original paintings – here meticulously recreated from the actual panels (many of which survived the Second World War in secure storage) as well as detailed archival plans and photographs – were executed by none other than Kanō Tan'yū, a prominent member of the highly esteemed Kanō artist lineage.
From the lofty heights of shōgunal power, we begin our descent back to earth as our feet carry us towards the exit. Along the way, we pass the simple setting – well, "simple" in comparison to the lavish rooms we've just seen – of the Ume-no-ma (梅之間), a large chamber used by the visiting shōgun's retainers.
A little further on is the Kamigozensho (上御膳所), the "upper" (上) kitchen attached to the Jōrakuden. Note the vent built into the ceiling above the hearth – the Edo Period equivalent, one might say, of a range hood.
Some distance away down a narrow back corridor is the Shimogozensho (下御膳所), the "lower" (下) kitchen serving the more junior Taimenjo and Omote Shoin wings.
I should point out that there is a third, larger kitchen a bit further away, where one presumes most of the rougher and dirtier aspects of food preparation were taken care of (not so proximate to the palace's ceremonial rooms). Part of this kitchen is used as the main souvenir shop, accessible from outside the palace.
Back to the visitors' entrance hall to retrieve our shoes, and then out of the building – but we're not quite finished yet!
Let's return to the area of the kurumayose and carry past the grand ceremonial entrance, admiring the palace's exterior…
…as we make our way to the small outbuilding on the left side of the following photograph.
This is where visitors currently enter to view two auxiliary wings of the Honmaru Palace, both attached to the Jōrakuden (although for the moment, not accessible from within the palace itself). Here we find the Yudono Shoin (湯殿書院), where the visiting shōgun took his baths; and the Kuroki Shoin (黒木書院), a suite of private reception rooms. The comparatively sparse decorative scheme reflects this area's use as a space where the shōgun might relax in a less ornate, less public setting…
…as well as the fact that the Honmaru Palace reconstruction project, whilst very nearly finished, isn't quite finished yet. A staff member informed me that some of the panel paintings in these sections have yet to be completed.
Here's the room where the actual bathing took place: not in a tub or shower, but in a wooden closet rather like a sauna. Water was heated in an adjoining room until it turned into steam, which would then fill the "sauna" through narrow gaps in the wooden floorboards (visible in the second picture below).
Thus ends our tour of the Honmaru Palace. A separate, related post will follow documenting the rest of this day's visit to Nagoya Castle.
It's not often that buildings lost to war or to the march of time are rebuilt to such an incredible degree of accuracy and authenticity. Many destroyed Edo Period castles, for example, were rebuilt in the post-war era using cheap ferro-concrete. To this history buff, the recent trend of resurrecting Japan's lost architectural heritage using traditional materials and techniques is very encouraging indeed, and one hopes that the bar set by Nagoya will continue to be aimed for, met, and perhaps exceeded by similar projects elsewhere.
Until the next post, cheerio.
Now for the promised links.
The official website of Nagoya Castle is a useful starting point for further study. That same website has a separate section covering the Honmaru Palace.
The Nagoya Castle entry on Wikipedia is informative, though – as is the case with any publicly editable resource – one should use it with a little caution.
And of course, the Nagoya Castle entry on Japan Guide deserves a mention for its helpful summary of access options and other practical information.

Appleton Rum Estate - Barrett Adventures the Real Jamaican Adventures.
The Appleton Estate is one of the older Rum Factories in the Caribbean. The plantation was in existence when the British captured the island in 1655. Appleton brand rum was established in 1749 and has long been considered one of the best brands in the world. During World War II, they upped their production in order to replace whiskey, which was in short supply. As a result of their efforts, their blended rums became famous for their quality. I have yet to find a smoother rum than the Appleton Reserve or Extra.
The tour of the factory is fun and informative. The guide will show you the process all the way from how cane is removed from the stalks to how is it aged in the barrels. After the tour you are invited to taste all 20 plus kinds of rums and rum cremes. Some folks have spent hours determining just which is the right one for them......grin.... Once you have decided on the ones you want, you can purchase them at good prices in the shoppe on the premises.


Awesome blog Dan....you are an amazing writer...can't wait to read your next chapters for your book...hint...hint...LOL! Love you buddy, don't let the close minded people get to you...remember all they spew is static...you have lots to be proud of and I am honored to be your friend. Love ya buddy, take care!!
I agree! Who has time for those idiots? No one! And after reading the reply that I think you are referring to, I have to wonder if this man made it past the 3rd grade! LoL! Anyway, you should be proud of all you have done and let the rest go prey on others with their crap!
I appreciate all of your comments. I am working on those books and stories Sandy......You know how sidetracked I get at times.....I hope to keep bringing you all the same kind of blogs and stories in 2013. Take care everyone.


I'm sure the birds that flew south for the winter are wondering what's going on down here in Florida this morning... it's chilly, as is wherever you are, I'm sure. Hopefully these accents are some visions of warmth to look forward to as we all hibernate until spring... Stay warm.
Certainly! I've always seen lovely bird, nest, and birdcage motifs on home decor items, but there has definitely been an explosion of these motifs recently! Good for me - I've always loved them.
I just adore anything with birds involved. I especially love the cages. Hope you had a wonderful New Year. Look forward to seeing more of your blog in 2010.
(design)birds of a feather flock together! thanks for stopping by to post ladies! glad you're enJOYing the post!!
considering i mostly love modern, i do think these are adorable!
Thanks for the shout out for perch. We have so many cute bird things! I'll be sure to show the owner Caroline this post.
Although I prefer a more contemporary theme, the bird cages are adorable and the sparrows are a cute addition for a porch or deck. Hopefully the theme of those awful roosters that were sprouting all over the RMS site a couple of years ago goes away forever.
ROOSTERS AND VERTICLE BLINDS BE GONE!!!
I agree Nazz!! I too am more modern, but I am drawn to this motif... I did an Easter tablescape about 3 yrs. ago with them, and will bring back this year, but REfreshed!
I love these beautiful examples of bird motifs, the pillows are wonderful!


Back in December Child's Play creator Don Mancini hinted that a seventh film was in the pipeline. The writer of all the Chucky films, and director of the last two films, took to Twitter to say: "To the fans who've asked questions about Alice and the end of Curse of Chucky, all will be answered in part 7". There has been nothing said since.
However, Collider were on the red carpet at last weeks Saturn Awards, and they caught up with Mancini, along with Chucky voice Brad Douriff, and his daughter Fiona (who starred in the excellent Cure of Chucky).
COLLIDER: Is there a follow up to Curse of Chucky in the works? Will it follow the new, darker tone?
This is excellent news, so we await further details. To read the full interview and watch the video, head on over to Collider.
LATEST TRAILERS: The Cult Of Chucky teaser is here!
'CHILD'S PLAY' TV SERIES COMING FROM DON MANCINI AND DAVID KIRSHNER!

Trade Alert: Senators, Canucks Pull Trigger On Game Day
Billy Morrison
Raiders Point/Counterpoint: Carr and His Draft Era
WWE Extreme Rules 2019: Recap, Grades & Opinion
Help is on the way for the Ottawa Senators, and it's already in the Canadian capital. On the same day the Vancouver Canucks are visiting the Senators at Canadian Tire Centre, both hockey clubs decided to make a trade with each other.
Ottawa Acquires: Anders Nilsson, G
Darren Archibald, LW/RW
Vancouver Acquires: Mike McKenna, G
Tom Pyatt, LW
2019 sixth-round draft pick
Goalie Crisis In Ottawa
Nilsson is a key piece of this trade for the Senators.
Behind Craig Anderson in the crease, the Senators have been fielding an unstable and high-risk back-up goaltending situation all season. To date, they have struggled to secure reliability behind their starter, and have gone through three secondary goalies in the process. These include Mike Condon (0-2 record, 6.4 goals against average, .800 save per cent), Mike McKenna (1-4-1 record, 3.96 goals against average, and .897 save per cent), and Marcus Hogberg (0-2 record, 3.56 goals against average, .883 save per cent). None have demonstrated they are ready to take on the responsibility of this role, winning a total of one game combined. This falls vastly short of what the Senators need when Anderson requires rest or gets injured.
On Dec. 21, the feared scenario happened, when Anderson suffered a concussion against the New Jersey Devils. The Sens are a woeful 0-5-0 since Anderson's injury. Consequently, they have fallen to last place in the NHL, just one game shy of the halfway point of the season, with a 15-21-4 record and 34 points after 40 games. There is currently no timetable provided for Anderson's return.
Anders Nilsson, G
Nilsson arrives in Ottawa with a 3-8-1 record, 3.09 goals against average, and .895 save percentage with the Canucks this season. Throughout his career, he is 39-54-13 with 3.07 goals against average, and .905 save percentage.
Ottawa will be the sixth destination for the 28-year-old goalie, who was drafted by the New York Islanders as the 62nd overall pick in the third round of the 2009 draft. The Swedish native has also spent time with the Islanders, Edmonton Oilers, St. Louis Blues, Buffalo Sabres, and Vancouver.
This trade offers Nilsson an excellent opportunity to establish a firm place in the NHL. If he capitalizes by earning a respectable record for the struggling Senators, he could be rewarded when he becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer. Nilsson's arrival should also strengthen goaltending reliability and provide better insurance in the crease, if he performs well. In addition, Nilsson should be able to split time more evenly with Anderson upon Anderson's return from injury, reducing the workload on the 37-year-old goalie.
Nilsson earns $2.5 million this year. His contract expires on Jul. 1, 2019.
Nilsson's acquisition may be interpreted as a signal that the Senators are no longer confident in Condon's ability, which could place the inexperienced Hogberg in the back-up role until Anderson returns. When that time comes, Hogberg would be returned to Belleville.
Entering the match against Vancouver tonight, however, Hogberg is scheduled to start with Nilsson as his backup.
Archibald, 28, has two points (1G, 1A) in nine games with the Canucks this season. Throughout his NHL career, the native of Newmarket, Ontario has registered 14 points in 52 games, all with the Canucks. In 379 AHL games, the forward has 167 points (88G, 79A), including 16 points (11G, 5A) in 23 games this season.
Undrafted as an 18-year-old, the former Niagara Icedog and Barrie Colt star signed a three-year entry-level contract with Vancouver in 2010. Like Nilsson, he too will become an unrestricted free agent this summer when his contract expires on Jul. 1. He currently earns $650,000 this season.
Archibald's addition benefits the Senators organization in depth and size. Pending further injuries to their regular line-up, he could become a candidate to fill a position on the Sens third or fourth lines. The 6'3″, 209-pound winger will start his stint with the Senators organization in Belleville.
Mike McKenna, G
Heading the other way, it appears as though the 35-year-old McKenna will temporarily fill the back-up hole that was created by Nilsson's departure. However, this trade appears to be more of a forward planning move by the Canucks, who want their highly touted prospect, Thatcher Demko, to have a smooth transition into the NHL.
This trade also effectively ends the competition between Jacob Markstrom and Nilsson over who gets the Canuck's starting role. Vancouver has not had a number one starter in their crease since the days before Corey Schneider developed to challenge Roberto Luongo's role. However, with the Demko era on the horizon, it appears another crease battle is not far off. Until then though, the blue paint in the Vancouver zone is Markstrom's to own.
McKenna, a journeyman, has had stints with six other NHL teams, including Tampa Bay Lightning, New Jersey Devils, Columbus Blue Jackets, Arizona Coyotes, Dallas Stars, and Ottawa. Vancouver will be his seventh. Throughout his career, the seldom used goalie has a record of 7-16-3, 3.58 goals against average, and .892 save per cent.
The change of scenery for Tom Pyatt may serve him well. After coming close to having a career year in points last season with 22 (7G, 15A) in 81 games, the 31-year-old's production has dropped off significantly in 2018-19. To date, the native of Thunder Bay, Ontario has only two points in 37 games this season. Throughout his career, the depth forward has 101 points (43G, 58A) in 445 games.
The Canucks have indicated Pyatt will start his time in their organization with their AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets. Prior to the trade, Ottawa placed Pyatt on waivers, which he cleared at noon on Wednesday.
In addition to McKenna and Pyatt, the Canucks also received Ottawa's 2019 sixth-round draft pick in the deal.

Treetops School is an all-through special school with academy status in Grays, Essex, England. Students are from 5 to 19 with moderate learning difficulties and many are on the autistic spectrum, with speech and language problems. The school was first established in 1930 as the Grays Thurrock Open-Air School For 60 Delicate Children and became a special school in 1960. In 1998 it gained SEN specialisms and in 2017 it became an academy. Ofsted rated the school as outstanding in all categories, saying "Teaching is outstanding because teachers have exceptionally high expectations of what pupils can achieve and use practical activities to make learning interesting."

History
The Grays Thurrock Open-Air School For 60 Delicate Children was opened in 1930 by Essex County Council. It was located on Rectory Road, Little Thurrock and most of its pupils had been released from sanatoriums. The school closed temporarily from September 1939 to March 1940 because of the Second World War, with its site being used for an Air Raid Precautions outpost. When the school reopened its site was shared on a part-time basis with two other schools in the local area. In 1960 the school relocated to a mansion known as The Elms, located on Dell Road. It became a special school and was adjacent to The Dell, a house formerly owned by Alfred Russel Wallace and one of the first to be built with concrete in the United Kingdom. The school became The Elms School and was renamed to Treetops School in 1964. This was done to avoid confusion with another house called The Elms, which was located nearby. From 1960 to 1963 the headmaster was Edward Daynes. He left for Maria Grey Training College and would be succeeded by David Phillips.

Under David Phillips Treetops School was expanded into a two-part new purpose built building. The expansion was originally meant to take place a year and a half after the school's opening but was delayed by six. The expansion had finished by July 1968 and the old building was demolished. The student capacity was raised from 75 to 160 and a special needs preschool was established. David Phillips left the school in 1974 to become the new Inspector of Schools in Essex and was replaced by Mrs. Weddell who in turn was replaced by Mr. Hopper. Hopper served from 1975 to 1988 and was succeeded by M. Smith who served for a year, before being replaced by Mr. Pardoe. Pardoe remained head for nine years and was succeeded by Paul Smith in September 1998.

In April 1998 Thurrock was granted unitary authority status and in September of that year the government requested that the boroughs' three special schools (Woodacre, Knightsmead and Treetops) declare a SEN specialist that they would like to pursue. Treetops chose a specialism in autism, ADHD, communication disorders and speech and language impairment. The other schools chose a specialism in learning difficulties. This resulted in a decrease in popularity for Knightsmead and Woodacre and an increase for Treetops. Knightsmead and Woodacre would eventually amalgamate into the new Beacon Hill School. After seeing the advanced SEN provision in America during a cultural exchange trip, Headteacher Smith applied for a new purpose built school to be built. In the meantime the school would experience development over two campuses in Grays and South Ockendon. It was decided that the new purpose-built school would be built on the site of the old Torells School on Buxton Road. The site would be demolished and the Treetops School site would begin construction over it, being completed by February 2008.

The Treetops School has been an academy since 1 April 2017 and has recently begun construction of a new free school on its site in an effort to combat a rapidly growing local population. The free school is planned to increase the school's capacity from 224 to 450. It was opened on 1 September 2021 and is headed by Anthony Hattam. Headteacher Paul Smith retired in 2019 and was succeeded by Jon Brewer in August of that year, becoming executive head of both Treetops and the free school as the new CEO of the Treetops Learning Community.

Friends of Treetops Schools (FOTS)
Friends of Treetops School (FOTS) is the external support group for the school. The group is made of parents, staff and volunteers. FOTS raises money for extracurricular activities in order to further help the pupils. Specifically, it has raised money for the Sensory Garden (Phase 1), iPads for the Speech & Language and Art Departments, T-shirts for Dance Club, the annual Year 11 Leavers Prom and various educational trips.

intu Lakeside's Charity of the Year 2017
On 30 March, as part of intu Lakeside adapting its services to become more autism friendly, Lakeside revealed Treetops School to be its charity partnership for 2017. Mayor of Thurrock, Cllr Cathy Kent, commented: "I am thrilled intu Lakeside has chosen Treetops School as its charity of the year. We are very proud of Treetops and its 'outstanding in all categories' Ofsted status. The school has high expectations for each child and uses practical activities to make learning interesting."

On Monday morning (Oct. 5, 2015) five people were killed in Dallas after colliding with an 18-wheeler near Interstate 20 and Interstate 35E. The victims included a pregnant woman and two children.
The trucking company that was involved in the crash had multiple safety violations, NBC 5 reported.
The accident occurred on a ramp 60 feet above the ground. The 18-wheeler was carrying lumber when it collided with a vehicle on the ramp. The impact ruptured the gas tank and both vehicles caught on fire, including the lumber.
When responders were able to get closer to the 18-wheeler, that's when police found another vehicle wedged underneath. Not only was the second vehicle engulfed in flames, but the passengers inside did not survive.
Dallas County Sheriff's Spokesman Raul Reyna said that two adults, two children and one unborn child were found dead. The driver of the 18-wheeler, operated by Southeastern AG Transport Inc., of Mississippi, was not injured.
The investigators know that the 18-wheeler and the second vehicle somehow became entangled, but they don't know why. The entanglement ruptured the 18-wheeler's gas tank, causing it to burst into flames.
The westbound ramp from I-20 to I-35E was closed while firefighters battled the fire. The ramp was reopened around 3:30 p.m. after engineers from Texas Department of Transportation inspected the bridge and found it safe for travel.
Ryan LaFontaine, the spokesman for TxDOT said that the inspection was complete and the bridge did not sustain any structural damage.
Before the crash, the 18-wheeler was transporting a load of lumber; the impact caused much of the lumber to fall off the trailer onto the ground 60' below the overpass.
According to NBC 5, records show that the trucking company involved in the fiery crash had numerous violations in 2015.
At The Zendeh Del Law Firm, we represent those who have been injured in all types of motor vehicle wrecks, including truck accidents. While truck accidents don't happen as frequently as car accidents, when they do occur, the cause is often traced back to truck driver negligence or safety violation on behalf of the trucking company.
As personal injury attorneys, it's our job to determine liability in truck accidents, and pursue the compensation that our clients deserve. Call now for a case evaluation!

Q: package statement marked as "unused import" I have a scala class which defines his package like this
package exporters
The class is under the following directory structure:

When compiling the project with sbt, I get the following warning:
[warn] /scala/export/src/main/scala/exporters/ExporterManager.scala:1:Unused import

How can I fix this warning?
EDIT:
Here is an extract of the class code:
package exporters

    ...
}

The missing imports are for our classes but nothing special. It is a basic Akka actor.

A: In my case I was using the Play Framework. I was using the macros to create play.api.libs.json.Reads (play.api.libs.json.Json.reads)
The warnings disappeared once I replaced the macro with code to manually create the Reads.

A: Not a solution, but a workaround, in case your issue is related to Play's Json macros. Turns out the bug is associated with the reads macro, but not in the format macro, so we can take advantage of the fact that Format[X] extends Reads[X]:
implicit val noteReads: Reads[Note] = Json.format[Note]

Q: c# totalseconds to equal 5 seconds with IF statement I want an IF statement that if 5 seconds has passed by then execute the block of chain. So far I got this code below but its not 5 seconds. How do I set it to 5 seconds.
DateTime myTIMER = DateTime.Today;
if (DateTime.Now.Subtract(myTIMER).TotalSeconds >= 5)
{ execute some code}

The problem is TotalSeconds does not equal to 5 seconds. Do I have to put 5000 in order for it to be 5 seconds or 500?

A: Try this:
using System.Diagnostics;

// ... more code

var stopwatch = new Stopwatch();
stopwatch.Start();

// ... long running code

stopwatch.Stop();

if (stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds >= 5000)
{
    // 5 seconds or more
}
else
{
    // Less than 5 seconds
}

Upon re-reading the question, I realize it's not very clear and you may be looking for Task.Delay(). If so:
    // ... Some code
    Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now);

    // Now wait for 5 seconds before continuing
    await Task.Delay(5000);

    // 5 seconds have passed
    Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now);


Mumbai : Emerson today said it has filed an initial Form 10 Registration Statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in connection with company's previously announced plan to spin off its Network Power business, which will be named Vertiv.
As per the filing Emerson intents to spin off 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of Vertiv through a tax-free distribution to shareholders, is an important step in a process expected to be substantially complete by September 30, 2016.
"Today marks another step forward in a process we began in early 2015 focused on strengthening Emerson and preparing the company to capitalize on future growth opportunities," said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David N. Farr.
"The spinoff of Vertiv will sharpen Emerson's focus on high-growth markets and establish Vertiv as an industry-leading public company under Scott Barbour's strong leadership," add Farr.
Vertiv is a global leader in designing, manufacturing and servicing mission-critical infrastructure technologies for vital applications in data centers, communication networks and commercial/industrial environments. It offers a broad range of products in both power and thermal management and provides lifecycle management services and solutions for deploying, maintaining and optimizing these products.
In addition, Vertiv provides infrastructure management, monitoring, controls and software solutions for its customers' critical applications.
The Form 10 filing provides information related to Vertiv's business, as well as financial statements for fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, 2014 and 2015. Vertiv will continue to operate as a segment of Emerson until the separation is complete.
Subsequent amendments to the Form 10 are expected to be filed in conjunction with the SEC review and as financing and other decisions are made. The declaration of effectiveness by the SEC is not expected until closer to the date of separation.

Joaquin Phoenix is named PETA's 2019 Person of the Year
Hollywood Actor acknowledged for this dedication to animal rights advocacy
Nicholas Orosz > Send an email 03/12/2019
Joaquin Phoenix PETA billboard Photo: PETA
Joaquin Phoenix has received PETA's 2019 Person of the Year award in recognition of his dedicated advocacy for animal welfare and rights. Frankly, given the prominence of his actions this year, the result was a shoo-in – any betting establishment would long since have stopped taking bets on the outcome.
The citation recognises that "Joaquin never misses an opportunity to turn the spotlight away from himself and onto animals' plight and to set a great example of walking the vegan walk".
PETA has honoured "his dedication to spreading the message that when it comes to feeling fear, pain, and love, a human being is no different from a hen or a hamster".
The actor has won plaudits for his performance in The Joker, which serves as an interesting parallel for the vegan issues. Joaquin Phonix and Arthur Fleck are a perfect metaphor for the cognitive dissonance that we observe around vegan issues. We watch a disturbed character who is treated unkindly at every turn in his life, lurch into a world of insanity and violence. To those humans who do not accept the concept of mankind's dominion over animals, this is an exact parallel to the way that we treat animals. We treat them as chattels to be routinely treated with contempt regardless of the pain that we cause. They are commodities there just to please our taste buds. They are not sentient beings to whom suffering is caused and who love their babies.
Absurd and barbaric
The actor has been a vegan since he was three years old when his siblings and he saw fishes being killed in a violent and aggressive way. It was immediately obvious that this was not something that he could participate in or support.
The citation quoted the Hollywood actor:
"I don't want to cause pain to another living, empathetic creature. I don't want to take [their] babies away from [them]. I don't want to force [them] to be indoors and fattened up just to be slaughtered. It is absurd and barbaric."
The award recognised that in the past year, Joaquin appeared on PETA US "We Are All Animals" billboards in New York's Times Square and on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles as part of the PETA campaign. He also joined California lawmakers to announce legislation banning travelling wild-animal circuses, and led a memorial service at a National Animal Rights Day march in Hollywood on 2nd June 2019 whilst cradling a dead chicken.
During the Toronto International Film Festival on 9th September 2019, the actor took time out from the launch of The Joker, at the invitation of Be Fair Be Vegan to join vegan activists in a protest in the subway.
He is an executive producer of The Animal People, a documentary shortly to be released following animal rights activists who came up against powerful vested industry interests.
He has over the years been involved in several vegan documentaries. He narrated Earthlings in 2005, produced What the Health in 2017 and was one of the narrators of Dominion in 2018.

Over/Under Voltage Relays provide protection to equipment where either an over or under voltage condition is potentially damaging. They are designed to operate when the operating voltage reaches a preset value and drop-out when the operating voltage drops to a level below the preset value.
Adjust the pick-up voltage setting (Umax) between the full range as shown on the product nameplate. Then adjust the drop-out voltage setting (Umin) between 75% and 95% of the pick-up setting. The relay energizes (and the LED is Red) when the monitored voltage is above the pick-up setting for a period longer than the fixed pick-up time delay of 0.5 seconds. The relay de-energizes (and the LED is Green) when the monitored voltage is below the drop-out setting for a period longer than the drop-out time delay (t), which is adjustable between 0.1-10 seconds.
Macromatic's Voltage Monitor Relays Knowledge Base contains general and technical industry articles to help you learn more about Voltage Monitor Relays.

Unicron.com: Can we expect to see the Power Core Combiner toy characters in any other Transformers media type, ie: comic, webisode, TV, novel... or are they intended/designed to be a 'stand alone' line?
Hasbro: There is a great potential for the Power-core story to be told beyond the toy execution in a larger way. We know what they are and how they would fit the larger continuity, however there are no plans in the near future to have this in other formats.
Unicron.com: We are totally psyched about War for Cybertron toys! Can fans expect that the "line" expand beyond the 4 game characters announced thus far? Will figures be released before, after or during the time of the video game release? --We would love to see a picture of the War for Cybertron Megatron figure with his cannon on in robot mode!
Hasbro: First part of your question, yes, we will be expanding the line of War for Cybertron figures past just the four that have been announced thus far. As for release dates, they will be made available at the release of the video game and then waved in throughout the rest of the year.
Second part: The current plan for the release of the current Animated figures is this: Toys R' Us will be carrying two waves of Animated Deluxe. The first wave will be released this Spring and will include Arcee and Cybertronian Ratchet. The second wave will be released this fall and will include Rodimus Minor and Cybertronian Ironhide. While we cannot promise that any other figures will be released, we continue to examine all of our options to make those figures that were completed available to you.
Hasbro: The simple answer is that Hasbro is trying have fewer versions of the brand overall. To do that we had to revisit ALL that has come before and do two things, 1) Keep the best elements or assets of the brand and present them in a modern way through story and entertainment like video games, and 2) make an effort to explore and explain elements of the brand that are not very understood, such as the Original 13, the vast universe of planets with Transformers life on them, as well as deeper back story connections between main characters as seen in Exodus between Optimus Prime and Megatron.
Unicron.com Question 2: We think that the Human Alliance toys are among the best of the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen toy line. We love that Movie Jazz has made a reappearance, but it seems like Human Alliance Mudflap was skipped over all together. He has had an unfortunately scarce distribution, and is thus extremely hard to find. You can, however, buy a new one from sellers on Amazon.com for a mere $114.95. Are there any plans to release Human Alliance Mudflap in the Hunt for the Decepticons or later toy lines (as Bumblebee was), or could his ROTF packaged version possibly see a more distribution through HasbroToyShop.com and/or other online vendors?
Hasbro: As we have mentioned in previous Q&A sessions, we do not have any plans at this point in time to re-release Human Alliance Mudflap.
· Story mode play consists of your central chosen playable character with 2 (computer controlled or online multiplayer) characters who fight along side you. The computer controlled characters seemed surprisingly helpful; the AI was very well done. In a presentation we had heard prior to playing the game, we were told that a central theme/philosophy about designing the game was that "Transformers were really always about the team, and that a central theme in the show/TF lore was that when they work solo, things don't end well, so it was important to High Moon from the get-go to incorporate team play into the entire game. This game design philosophy came across quite nicely in all modes of play.
· Each vehicle has a typical drive/flight mode (front wheeled steering – for cars, meaning that forward motion must happen in order to turn), which is engaged by holding down a button. When the button is not depressed, your character defaults to a hover mode. I was not sure how I felt about this when I first saw the videos, but in game play, I found this hover mode extremely helpful and quite enjoyable to use. If you're used to platform games, think of it as strafe weapon/camera control for vehicle mode. You can move sideways around a target while shooting without driving towards it. This feature/play mode is brilliant, and a LOT of fun and takes very little getting used to.
· Each character has a special ability: Optimus has the "battle cry" which momentarily boosts his (and every near by Autobots') protection and damage. Ratchet has a healing ray to 'fix' his team mates while in battle. Bumblebee has an energy blast that damages all near by enemies. Air Raid has cloaking abilities rendering the character invisible to enemies (as seen in the new multiplayer trailer).
· Characters have room to hold two primary weapons. Only a few weapons (Prime gun for instance) are character exclusive. Most characters can put down their standard equipped weapons, in order to have room to carry an extra weapon. When a character picks up a new weapon, that weapon not only integrates into the characters arm, but takes on that characters primary color as well (i.e. the assault riffle takes yellow accents for Bumblebee, red for Optimus). There is only one melee swipe move, no combos, uncertain weather characters can upgrade their melee weapons. Characters can not walk around holding their melee weapons; they only pull them out to use them. When walking, characters are always at the ready with one of two equipped arm guns.
· As characters lose power the sound gets muffled, and vision blurs/crackles. Really cool effect: feels like power is being diverted to core systems leaving sensory inputs drained.
· Trypticon talks (didn't get to play, but this level was demoed for us). Kind of reminded me of a Giant robotic Bowser.
· Transformation is a toggle button as opposed to holding down a button to stay in the alt mode. The standard controls are set up such that transformation is achieved by pressing in on the left analogue control stick.
· Fantastic game play and controllability of the characters, really feels like you're there. My only critique of the game play is that you can only invert the vertical axis for the camera. I usually set up my controls to invert both the horizontal and vertical axes, thinking of my right hand thumb control as which way I want the camera man to move, not the character. I mentioned this to a number of the developers including Matt Tieger, and am still holding out hope that this added control set-up feature might end up in the final release of the game. I've got my fingers crossed. While I found myself running into walls out of force of reflex, I did begin to get used to this after a while.
· All in all, you can really tell how much the developers care about this game. It is meticulously designed, and beautifully executed. With the innovative drop-in/drop-out cooperative online multiplayer story mode, I think this game has the potential of giving the highly acclaimed "Batman: Arkham Asylum" a run for it's money, as far as striking gold on developing/re-imagining a licensed fan-favorite property/brand for the video game market. Way to go High Moon, I'm thoroughly impressed.

Eden Benibo is a young voice in the literary field, with an undiluted passion for impacting her world positively via words. As a poet, she also writes articles, short stories and essays all geared towards helping individuals, especially (young minds) break free from the claws of self pity in a world full of so many negativities. She is of the strong view that – we can always become solutions, rather than remain either as a problem or in the problem. Her watch words include the fact that life revolves around our mentality – 'Things most times become how we perceive them to be'.
Her life is guided by the principle that 'change is not just a part of life. Change is life itself'. Therefore, it's either we live it or it leaves us behind.
With this, she promotes the consciousness of 'living the change we wish to leave behind'.
To this end, her works are aimed to correct the faulty orientation which can be said to be the major challenge of Nigeria and Africa in general.
Her words are deep and creatively written and spoken. She undertakes a kind of education for young minds that goes beyond the four walls of a school.
Eden is a graduate of Mass communication, University of Benin with works published by ~ The Evergreen Poetry Journal, New York, USA ,The 2017 New England Poetry Anthology, The Kalahari Review and other platforms.
She has won various nominations and awards which include: The Escape Award, The Elite Writers Award (in duality), The Creative Africans Award, London, The Top 100-Poets of 2016 Award by International Poetry amongst others.

We have previously characterized EUS FNA cytology specimens by targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) and demonstrated its possible role in precision medicine. Our focus was to determine the frequency and distribution of pathogenic alterations in malignant lymph node cytology specimens by the MAPK or PI3K signaling pathways in patients with sporadic, treatment naive, locally advanced primary rectal cancer with subsequent completed neoadjuvant therapy and on-site oncologic surgery. The MAPK and PI3K signaling pathways are core regulators of malignant transformation and tumor maintenance. Such pathway mutations are associated with sensitivity to certain chemotherapy agents to include MAPK inhibitors and PI3K-AKT-mechanistic target of rapamycin inhibitors. EUS has the potential to deliver cytologic and molecular diagnostic sub typing with predictive, prognostic and theranostic biomarkers. The multi gene mutational landscape may reveal medically actionable pathogenic alterations to optimize anti-tumor therapy.
Multigene molecular profiling of malignant lymph node cytology specimens targeted at least 2855 possible mutations within 50 cancer-associated genes and revealed 139 pathogenic alterations (2 [1-3] per patient) in 13 of 50 evaluated genes. The following represent a spectrum of identified alterations: TP53 (68%), APC (47%), KRAS (29%), FBXW7 (11%), NRAS (8%), PIK3CA (5%), SMAD4 (4%), and BRAF (4%). Pathogenic alterations were identified Pathogenic alterations were identified in the MAPK signaling pathway (KRAS, BRAF, NRAS, MEK), the PI3K signaling pathway (PIK3CA, AKT, STK11), and in 41% and 5%, respectively. No mutations were identified in the receptor tyrosine kinases gene family (MET, EGFR, ALK, KIT, PDGFRA, RET).

C, Snapshot of amplicon reads showing a missense NRAS mutation. D, Snapshot of amplicon reads showing a missense FBXW7 mutation.
Targeted NGS of EUS FNA cytology specimens provides clinically relevant data that can help guide individualized therapy for oncology patients. The development of disease specific mini panels evaluating multi gene mutation profiles, copy number variants, and chromosomal rearrangements will further enhance our understanding of disease and aid the delivery of targeted therapy.

| Universities enroll fewer foreign students
Universities enroll fewer foreign students
Zach Marks 12:00 am, Nov 16, 2005
The number of foreign students enrolled in American universities declined for the second consecutive year in 2004-05, according to a report published Monday by the Institute of International Education.
Total foreign student enrollment fell by 1.3 percent nationwide last year, while the number of foreign students at Yale decreased by 0.4 percent. Education experts attributed the national decline to the consistently increased difficulty of obtaining student visas since the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, and to competition from foreign universities. But Yale Graduate School Dean Jon Butler said he is not worried about the decrease at Yale.
"A 0.4 percent variation in one year has no statistical significance," Butler said.
The number of international students enrolled in graduate schools in the United Sates dropped by 3.6 percent nationwide, according to the IIE's annual "Open Doors" report, and by 0.1 percent at Yale. The number of international undergraduates declined by 2.9 percent nationwide and by 0.2 percent at Yale. Enrollment of foreign students studying at American universities but not working towards a degree rose by 22.8 percent nationwide and dropped by 11 percent at Yale.
Stuart Heiser, public affairs manager at the Council of Graduate Schools, said recently enacted homeland security initiatives contributed to the nationwide decline.
"The level of foreign student enrollment had been increasing for decades and declined for the first time after visa policies were tightened in the wake of 9/11," Heiser said.
Butler said fewer foreign students are applying to Yale because of difficulty obtaining visas, but this has not affected enrollment.
"Enrollment figures generally are still holding pretty steady," Butler said.
Ankita Ritwik '07, who is from Kuwait, said some students in her hometown had difficulty obtaining student visas.
"I know students who were randomly denied visas even though they had similar profiles to people who were granted visas," Ritwik said. "One of my friends went to the U.K. for college instead of the U.S. because he didn't want to deal with the problems of getting a visa."
Daniel Obst, program manager for the Higher Education Resource Group at the IIE, said he thinks the decrease is partly due to economic development abroad and improvements in foreign universities.
"The cause for decline most often cited is the vigorous recruitment by institutions in other countries," Obst said. "There are now more opportunities to get a fantastic education in China or India."
There are currently 1,787 foreign students at Yale, accounting for 16 percent of all students at the University.
Yale has seen lower declines than schools nationwide because of its strong reputation abroad, Obst said.
"There is traditionally less flux in well-known, world-class institutions than other institutions," he said. "There are a few institutions known around the world which are less susceptible to decline than other institutions."
Alexandra Cavoulacos '08, who was raised in Paris, said American universities must work to keep foreign students.
"It's more interesting to take a class on a different part of the world if there are people from that part of the world in the class," Cavoulacos said.
Foreign student enrollment nationwide fell by 2.4 percent during the 2003-04 academic year, but the number of international students at Yale increased by 0.2 percent that year. National figures had been increasing since the IIE first conducted the survey in 1954 and started decreasing in 2003-04, according to the report.
But Obst said he anticipates a smaller decline or possibly an increase in foreign student enrollments next year.
"Things are slowly but gradually leveling out," Obst said. "We took an online survey of about 1,000 universities' enrollments for fall 2005 which showed encouraging signs. The majority of institutions are showing increases in foreign student enrollment."
Obst and Heiser said they expect a turnaround because of measures that have made it easier to obtain student visas and improvements made by American universities to the application process.

io9 Newsstand: Would You Enter A Psychotropic Spider Web To Save Your Son From Sin?
This week's stories are all about psychotropic visions, unsatisfactory lives, and the consequences of doubting your mother's love for you.
My smile isn't just on the surface. That's why I knew, Wednesday morning, when I woke up and Timmy still hadn't come home, when I checked my phone and he still hadn't replied to my texts and voicemails, why I knew I had the strength to go find him—wherever he was. And bring him home. And get started on a new installment of The Deacon's Wife for the church e-bulletin. Write it raw, rough, naked, curses and gossip intact, more a letter to my sweet wise husband Pastor Jerome than anything else, so he can go through it with scissors and a scalpel before sending it out to the four-thousand-strong flock of the Grace Abounding Evangelical Church.
What To Do When Your Child Strays from God.
Snuck into this story about an evangelical Christian pastor's wife dealing with the sinful rebelliousness of her teenage son is a really cool made up drug that sounds absolutely transformative and I want to try it (along with a few close friends... very close). Miller excels at blending cool speculative ideas with characters and situations very much grounded in our world.
She sleeps beneath the sea. Shh, shh, plish, splash. The susurration brushes past her unresponsive ears as the surf tucks itself below her chin, a sleek coverlet of warm salt water in shades of blue and green and bordered with seed pearls of foam. Reclining on her side, her dark tresses matted against the damp sand and one brown hand supporting her head, she hints at secrets in the mysterious tongue of slumber: a slight gasp here, a soft sigh there.
When she dreams, she finds herself in a world of glass. It is aquamarine, it is teal, it is turquoise and balmy and wet, and it is the sea, oh, the blessed, blessed sea. It is home, her home.
As she looks around, she begins to wonder. It is like this every time, this bubble world beneath the sea that has somehow become glass and mountains and castles. Everything cut from jewels, everything radiant in the sunlight spilling from above.
She is bare but for the snake's tail she wears from the waist down, the golden necklace about her throat, and the seaweed threaded through the whorls of black hair trailing behind her. She is, she realizes, suspended in a kind of liquid crystal. Inside a gem. She is serpentine, aquamarine.
Shveta Thakrar is a poet as well as a fiction writer, and that's very clear from the prose in this story. She paints word pictures that are evocative and lush and pull you along like a strong current. Even if you're not a regular reader of Faerie Magazine, it's worth picking up this issue (the digital version is just $4!) to read this.
When I come across you, there are forsythia blossoms scattered unnoticed in your hair, as though the shrub leaning above you wooed you in such secret that you remained unaware. You're unmindful too of how a daughter of a bloodline such as yours shouldn't be lying on the dirt on your stomach, staring at a spiderweb. It's so unthinkable that it has taken me a full hour to discover where you are; enough time for shadows to shift direction, or an assassin's blade to find you. Besides that, it's still early spring, and it is chilly outside. I chide you for being so careless, and you say indignantly, "But I was careful! I even drew the strokes in order—" and you show me your name as you have recently learned to write it, the characters spelled out perfectly within strands of spider-silk. Trembling along the last line, still spinning thread, is a spider.
I have guarded you ever since your hundredth day, when you were dressed in colorful formal robes that you would never wear again because children grow so fast at that age. String and silver and calligraphy brush arranged before you, to see what sort of life might lie ahead: longevity or wealth or wisdom. No one knows which you might have picked, for a messenger rushed into the room to tell your mother of her mother's death. Those were his last words; he slumped across the table with a knife in his back, and you reached out and touched your fingers to his life-blood. An ill omen, especially for a girl who had just become the heir to the kingdom.
I like the bones of this story, though overall it could stand to be fleshed out in some key places. I got caught up in the rush of drama at the very end, which is why I ended up adding this to my list.


HERE'S MY LIMIT: Do you like conducting surveys in your classrooms? If so, listen up. Google recently updated its Forms to include Add-ons, where you can add features like Form Limiting to close surveys automatically after a number of responses is reached, or at a date and time of your choosing. Not sure how to work it? Here's a helpful demo video from educator Michael Berago.

Q: restfull webservice was not connecting sap I'm creating a restfull webservice for connecting SAP.So,here web service methods all are work correctly but only one method was throws error,below is that method.
