Supermarket – Stockholm Independent Art Fair
Art for the people
TEXT: LIZ LONGDEN
Over the past 13 years, Supermarket – Stockholm Independent Art Fair has grown from plucky rebel to major event on the international contemporary art calendar. This year's fair will see more than 150 artists from 45 cities across the globe descend on Sweden's capital for four days of glorious, chaotic, immersive art – and everyone is welcome.
The term 'alternative' is bandied about often, but in the case of Supermarket, Stockholm's only independent and international art fair, it is quite literally true. The event was founded in 2006 in playful opposition to the Market contemporary art fair, which also opened in the city in the same year. "When Market started, they had a very aggressive marketing approach, which made it clear that their focus was all about the buyer, not the artist. But our belief is that art becomes less important when you treat it as a commodity," explains Pontus Raud who, along with Andreas Ribbung, is Supermarket's founder and project director. Minimarket, later renamed Supermarket, was the result – an independent art fair, showcasing only galleries run by artists themselves, with the stated aim of focusing on artists, not saleability, and of making contemporary art more inclusive and more accessible.

13 years on, Supermarket has become a role model for independent art fairs across the world and gained an international reputation for its anarchic, interactive approach. "We want to help bring contemporary art to a broader audience, and to do it in a way that gives a fun, dynamic experience," Raud says.
Described by one major Swedish national newspaper as 'punky, political, creative chaos', Supermarket is partly about challenging norms of how art can and should be experienced. This is evident in the physical set-up of the fair – a cluster of individual booths which together form a vibrant hub of artistic activity, where both the public and artists can mingle and share in artistic experiences that can be alternately surprising, disturbing, moving or amusing.

In addition to encouraging spontaneous interactions between artists and the public, the art fair also organises an extensive programme of performances and talks. "There are performances going on everywhere, all the time, on-stage, off-stage, so you have this really fun, inclusive, and somewhat unpredictable feel," Ribbung explains. "Part of the reason for doing it like this is to make it more accessible and to reach out to people from different backgrounds and different ages. And, actually, the great thing is that everyone finds something they like, and something that speaks to them, because there is such diversity."
Public outreach is also a motivation behind the Supermarket magazine. Published each year in conjunction with the art fair, and included in the price of the entry ticket, the magazine shares ideas, discussion and debates form the artist-run art world, giving a voice to artists and connecting them to a wider audience.

Bringing in
The principle of outreach and inclusivity is not limited to the public, however. One of the stated aims of Supermarket is to give exposure and networking opportunities to contemporary artists from across the world, who might not otherwise be able to share their work internationally. "Many of the smaller artist-run spaces that we exhibit are working quite locally and do not have the funding to take part in the more commercial art fairs. And they might also not be interested in presenting their projects to that kind of audience, who are mostly collectors," explains project manager Alice Máselníková. "So it is also about bringing in those artists who do not fit in the traditional art fair, and, in doing so, offering a wider perspective."
The result is a fascinating snapshot of international contemporary art, with the 2019 programme including artists from cities as diverse as Izmir, Tbilisi, Tel Aviv, Puebla, Saint Petersburg, Birmingham and Montreal.
Supermarket will this year move to a new venue near Hammarby Sjöstad in the southern part of Stockholm, and, for the first time, will also see a number of exhibitions and events in artist-run spaces across the city. The move is the latest step in the development of an event that has by now gained international renown within the contemporary art world.
"We want to keep reaching out to new audiences, and to a more inclusive audience, with people from different backgrounds and ages," explains Máselníková. "Whether we do that through our public programmes, the venues, or through other initiatives, helping to bring contemporary art to more people and to make it more accessible is going to continue to be our focus."

The result is one of the quietest Light Private Jets available. Other notable features include the two-zone temperature control and the ventilation system designed to eliminate drafts.
The Citation V (5) Private Jet engineers advantage of the extra cabin space and installed extra-wide seats that recline 60 degrees and rotate a full 360 degrees.
The Citation V,Cessna Citation Ultra and Cessna Citation Encore are the largest straight wing members of Cessna's highly successful Citation family.
Cessna publicly announced it was developing a stretched development of the Citation II Private Jet at the annual NBAA convention in New Orleans in 1987.
The center club seating arrangement is appointed with dual fold-down executive tables. Hardwood sliding doors conceal a private lavatory that includes belted seating for an additional passenger.
The Citation V was based on the Citation II, but differences over the smaller jet include more powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D5A turbofans.
It has a slight fuselage stretch, allowing seating in a standard configuration for eight passengers.
It comes as no surprise that it is consistently chosen over other private jets in its class.
The Citation 5 Private Jet proved quite popular, with 262 built through to mid 1994 before production switched to the new modern Ultra.
The Citation V (5) by Cessna announced development of the upgraded Citation V Ultra in September 1993. FAA certification was granted in June 1994, allowing for deliveries of production aircraft to commence soon after.
Exceptional short-field capabilities and cruise speeds of just under 500 mph make this aircraft a great choice. The Cessna Citation V was the first in the series of the very popular model 560.
"CITATION V: for Jet Charter Private!"
"The CITATION 5" is known as a pilot-friendly "Business Jet," which also means an exceptionally safe one.
The Citation 5 Light Jet pre-flight check is easy to carry out, with its organization designed with the pilots in mind. The jet handles well, especially in normal maneuvers and the landing approach configuration.
The Citation V (5) Private Aircraft virtues are comfort, performance, and reliability.
The 560 is a reliable private jet that can take you anywhere a mid-sized jet can go at the cost of a light jet flight. Its comfort, performance and reliability match Cessna's high standards in private jet design.
At 17 feet long, the Citation V cabin is the largest in the light jet category, more than adequate for 7 passengers to stretch out and relax. Baggage capacity at 67 cubic feet ranks among the largest in the light jet category.
The Citation 560 cabin holds eight passengers in a quiet cabin.
Details like fold-out tables and sliding headrests make the interior comfortable.

Pauatahanui Inlet and Pataka Museum
A crisp, sunny and calm, but cold, Friday. Forget about Friday Zumba. Let's go for a bike ride! A nice easy ride, in the sun.
So we rode from Plimmerton to Pauatahanui. As we approached the Ngati Toa Domain, a buzzing in the sky alerted us to a bright yellow sail flying around, propelled by a man with a "lawnmower engine on his back", as John said. We raced along to where we had a better view. Several times it looked like he was coming in to land, but then he soared away again.
Upon checking Wikipedia, I found this sport (?) is called "powered paragliding" or "paramotoring". The user carries the 20-35 kg motor on his back, and has to run about 3 m with this contraption on his back, before the wing lifts him and the machine off the ground. He can then get into the seat, and start zooming around. Sounds like fun, if you enjoy heights and thrills with a hint of danger. It requires calm, windless conditions, and this morning was perfect.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a motorised paraglider …
When he disappeared in the direction of Pukerua Bay, we carried on past the marina, with its perfect reflections, under the rail and road bridges, and into a side street which led to the mudflats beach of the Pauatahanui Inlet.

I love this picture of a man walking his little dogs on the beach (photo by John)
The tide was out so we were able to ride on the hard-packed sand to the start of the Camborne Walkway. Despite the recent heavy rains, the walkway was not muddy, and it was a pleasure to cycle around the edge of the still Inlet.

It didn't take us long to cycle the 10 km to Pauatahanui Village and the Ground Up Café. We enjoyed a coffee and something to eat in the sun. Their coffee is consistently excellent, and comes with a Jaffa, as an extra little treat.
A Jaffa is a NZ confectionery – a small sphere of chocolate, with a hard orange-flavoured and -coloured covering. In the days when movie theatres had sloping wooden floors, it was considered to be great fun to release Jaffas to roll down during a quiet moment in the film! Of course Jaffas are not to be confused with JAFAs, which refers to Aucklanders. Used as a derogatory term by non-Aucklanders, it means "Just Another Flipping (or worse) Aucklander". The Aucklanders themselves will say that it means "Just Another Friendly Aucklander".
On our way back, along the newly protected cycle path, John was amused by a sign warning motorists of the hazards ahead. I didn't "get" the irony at first, but as the sign sticks out into the path of the cyclist, someone keeping well to the left could easily crash into it in a moment of inattention.

Since our last ride here, protective concrete edging has been installed

Near Motukaraka Point we watched a pair of courting herons. To begin with they were quite a distance away from each other. Cautiously he advanced towards her, she tentatively moved towards him, then changed her mind, and moved away. The game was repeated, and gradually, he got closer to the object of his affections. Finally he caught up with her, they tussled (?) and then flew away together making screeching noises. We lost track of them after that. Of course, my knowledge of birds is very limited, so they may not have been courting at all. Perhaps it was a squabble over territory …

After the Camborne Walkway, we took advantage of the low tide to ride on the hard sand of the beach all the way to the Paremata Bridge.
The hard-packed sand on the mudflats beach was OK to ride on (photo by John)
We had ridden just on 20 kms, and that brings my total mileage to 1985 km. Only another 15 km to go until I hit the 2000 km mark!
After our ride, we stopped in Porirua. John dropped me at the Pataka Museum, while he went to Mitre 10, in search of some tools he needed. I enjoy visiting Pataka regularly, as it usually has excellent exhibitions.
The exhibition in the Bottle Creek Gallery (the community gallery) was called Fibre Fusion and displayed the best work of Creative Fibre Wellington. It was lucky I visited at this time, as I hadn't been aware that this was on. As a former weaver, I am still always interested in the work that is currently being produced, and some of it was very good indeed.
My friend – and one of my first weaving students (many years ago) – Patricia Armour, carried away the award for "best handwoven article" with her tapestry "Autumn Meditation". I have mentioned Trish in another blog, and posted a photo of one of her gorgeous tapestries. In a few weeks, she will have an exhibition of her work in Minerva, a gallery-cum-shop specialising in textile books, at 237 Cuba Street. The exhibition runs from 5 August to 13 September.

Other pieces that caught my eye involved felting. Lyn Evans' handfelted wallhanging, entitled "Leaf" was deceptive in its simplicity, but shows very precise control of the technique. It well deserved the NZ Felters Award 2D.
"Leaf", a handfelted wallhanging by Lynn Evans
Kathy McLauchlan's delicate representation of ferns won two awards, for "innovation and excellence" and for "a mixed media entry using a minimum of three fibrecraft techniques". Entitled "Remembrance", it has a handfelted background, over which are arranged fern fronds made of handmade silk paper and embroidered with handspun silk. It is exquisite. I couldn't decide which photo showed it off the best, so I'm posting both.

A detail of "Remembrance"
Having had a lengthy browse of "Fibre Fusion", I moved to the next gallery, which showcased the development of designer David Trubridge, one of NZ's most internationally celebrated designers. It is a magnificent exhibition, and its title "So Far" seems to promise more in the future. Though his range of design areas is vast, this exhibition focussed on his furniture and lighting designs. On display are pieces of beautiful furniture, and small models of some of his designs. Several of his very stylish lighting designs feature in the gallery, and also in the lobby of the museum. The exhibition is on until 24 August, and is well worth a visit.
The David Trubridge exhibition, "So Far"
There is also an exhibition of contemporary art by Tongan NZ artists, that I had visited some time ago, but this time I took a photo of a piece I particularly liked. "Matanima" by Sopolemalama Filipe Tohi is a representation in aluminium of lalava, the art of coconut sennit lashing. I like the shape of the sculpture, and the shadow it produces on the wall behind it.

Inaugural ride of the "Folding Goldies"
Just over a week ago, we received an email from Alastair Smith (I mentioned him in my blog post of 6 July) , announcing the formation of a new group – the Folding Goldies. "Now that I've acquired a Gold Card and a folding bike, I'm forming a group of people who can take advantage of these to do trips in the Wellington Region", he wrote. He'd even created a new website for the group.
He suggested an inaugural ride, which would involve taking the 10:35am train from Wellington to Upper Hutt, cycling down the Hutt River Trail back to Petone, and then taking the train back to Wellington.
That sounded like a great idea. We emailed back to let him know we would love to take part, and that we would catch that train at Petone, as it is easier for us to park there than in town.
The date suggested was last Friday, which turned out to be freezing cold, windy and wet! Under normal circumstances, we wouldn't have ventured out on a day like that. But we had committed to it, so we bundled ourselves up in multiple layers of clothing – thermals, merinos, parkas – and headed down to Petone.
From the bottom of Ngauranga, we could see that the brisk southerly was whipping the harbour into choppy peaks, and the Hutt Valley was shrouded in low cloud.
While waiting in the car at the foreshore carpark, we watched as the waves splashed onto the shore. Rain slapped on our windscreen. A large group of seagulls hovered above the surf. They seemed to be trying to fly into the wind, but were making no headway at all. I questioned our sanity to be going out riding on such a miserable day. But we braced ourselves, pulled out the bikes and rode the short distance to the Petone Station.

As we boarded the train, Alastair greeted us with a cheery "Welcome!", but then we had to get off again, because the designated cycle area in that carriage already held three bikes (the maximum allowed). Luckily there was another carriage that had room for our bikes. We could have folded up our bikes, and had them in the same carriage as legitimate "luggage", but going to the next carriage was simpler.
Once off the train at Upper Hutt, we posed for the inaugural group photo. The turn-out was a little disappointing: apart from us and Alastair, there were only two others – John B and Russell. Still, it's a start; let's hope the next ride will include a few more people. And as Alastair mentions on the website, people who do not own either a folding bike or a Gold Card are still welcome to join the rides. In fact, Russell was riding a regular-sized mountain bike. It was interesting to see the other folding bikes: Alastair's was a "Tern" and John B's was a "Dahon".

As we had done this ride before, John led the way through the Upper Hutt streets to the River Trail. We joined the trail near the Totara Park Bridge, where traffic lights make for a safe crossing of SH2 (River Road).
Fortunately, by this time, the rain had almost stopped, but the cold wind persisted. The gravel track was quite wet still, and there were plenty of puddles to negotiate (around or through). Our bikes and trouser legs received a good dose of mud spatters.
I was surprised at how leisurely the ride was. I was expecting these three very seasoned veteran cyclists to set a blistering pace, but thankfully they were not in too much of a hurry. We didn't make any stops, except when we had to manoeuvre our bikes through pesky gates. No photo stops either, though John rode ahead and took a few photos of us as we were riding past.

We turned off the River Trail at Avalon Park, and pedalled through suburban streets to get to Janus Bakkerij in Lower Hutt for our lunch stop. We'd been cycling for just under two hours. The café was very busy, but our lunches and excellent coffee were delivered quite quickly. During lunch Alastair decided that, as he was going away for the weekend, he had better take the train back to Wellington from here rather than from Petone. Conveniently, a train was due to leave in ten minutes from Epuni Station, just down the road. The other two ended up doing that too.

So that left just John and me. We finished our coffees, then biked back to the River Trail, and completed our ride to Petone. We rode 32 km in all, and despite the rather inclement weather, it had been very enjoyable. It was good to meet some other cyclists too.
Alastair has put a link to more photos in his post-ride report, on the "Folding Goldies" website.

Wellington hometown tourist
On Monday, instead of going for a bike ride, we played at being tourists in our own hometown, Wellington. There are so many interesting and noteworthy places to visit and look at, but in our day-to-day lives, we tend to just walk past them without another glance.
We started with the Pipitea Campus of Victoria University. It occupies Rutherford House, the West Wing of the Railway Station, and the Old Government Building.
We had a bit of a browse around the foyer and mezzanine of Rutherford House. Currently VUW is having its mid-year break so it was pretty quiet. There were several rows of computers in the lobby, at which a couple of students were working (or maybe just checking emails). Very different from when I was a university student – we had to hand-write our assignments!
A very large Colin McCahon painting dominates the foyer – "Gate III"
Students use the computers in the lobby
Across the road is the Old Government Building. It is one of NZ's most outstanding historic buildings. Built in 1876 to house the whole of NZ's civil service, it is one of the world's largest wooden buildings. The civil service rapidly outgrew the building, and one by one the various departments found premises elsewhere. By 1990, it was neglected and empty. In 1994, the Department of Conservation, which now owns the building, started renovations to restore it to its 1907 appearance (when extensions were added to the original building).
The buildings were officially re-opened in 1996, when Victoria University's Law School took out a 50-year lease.
The Old Government Building – Bunny Street façade …
… and front façade
It is a truly magnificent building. Parts of the ground floor and first floor are open to the public, and we took quite a few photos. The entrance lobby features kauri paneling, with stencilled medallions, carved rimu detailing, and a carved rimu ceiling rose with a chandelier.

Probably the most remarkable part of the building is its "hanging" staircase. The stairs had a history of weakness, almost from the start, and had to be progressively propped up. During the restoration they were strengthened and brought back to the way the original architect, William Clayton, had intended them to be.

Originally, the building had 126 fireplaces. Most were removed, but 42 cast-iron fireplaces were replicated for the restoration. They were cast in Dunedin, based on an early example found in the building. They are now merely decorative.

We walked up the left side of Lambton Quay, which is the "less-travelled" side, since the shops are on the other side. Along here are office buildings, many of which have beautiful foyers featuring interesting artworks.
"Horse Breaker in the Murder Red Country" by George Morant – in Legal House
I had never heard of George Morant, but we discovered a further two paintings by this Australian artist in other buildings. I searched the Internet for information about him, and the most useful item I found was this report about an exhibition of his works at the Dowse Museum in Lower Hutt, in 2004.
"The House Girl" by George Morant
In the foyer of the New Public Trust Building, we found two large paintings – another one by George Morant, and one by Michelle Bellamy. I rather like the work of both these artists, both being vibrant and colourful.

On the corner of Waring Taylor Street, is a sculpture by Jeff Thomson, entitled simply "Shells". It is made from concrete, though the artist has used his more usual medium of corrugated iron as a mould to shape the shells. It marks the site where Wellington's foreshore used to be, before reclamation began in the 1850s.

In several places, plaques are set in the footpaths to show where the original shoreline was
Across the street, on the corner of Midland Park, is a sculpture of Katherine Mansfield. It is called "Woman of Words" – made of stainless steel, into which are laser-cut words and phrases from her writings. It was created by Virginia King, and installed in 2013.
"Woman of Words" – author Katherine Mansfield – by Virginia King
Carved into the plinth on which the statue stands are the words "A celebration of Wellington-born writer Katherine Mansfield 1888-1923 – Innovator of the modernist short story".
In the centre of Midland Park is a fountain consisting of slabs of slate, tiles and stones tilted at various angles, and bronze "stalks" with heads spouting water, which always remind me of bean sprouts. It is in fact a serious work, called "Nga Korerorero – Ongoing Talk", by Colombian artist Silvia Salgado. It represents communication. The "bean sprouts" are meant to be talking heads. The base concrete and slate tiles apparently suggest tectonic plates.

Midland Park is fringed by mature trees, which are home to lots of birds, which – unfortunately – create a bit of a bombing hazard for passers-by, so canopies have been built under the trees by way of protection.

I stopped to talk to Neville, the uniformed gentleman who opens the door for customers entering Kirkcaldie's, Wellington's only remaining department store. He told me he's been doing this job part-time for the last nine years and loves it. His favourite time of year is the cruise ship season, when large numbers of tourists visit the city. He enjoys talking to people who ask for directions – both about the city and about the store.

A bit further along on Lambton Quay, the HSBC Tower houses the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT). Its foyer is quite beautiful, with marble floor tiles, one curved wall clad in brown or grey marble tiles, and horizontal wood paneling opposite. There are three art works – a traditional bronze statue of a woman carrying scales (representing justice?), a modern sculpture of two seated women, and a beautiful object made from what I assume is burr wood. It vaguely resembles a female form. There were no name plaques with any of the works, and I haven't been able to find out any details about them.

The ANZ Bank building where Lambton Quay meets Featherston Street has been vastly refurbished in the past year or so. In the "bull-nose" corner where the public toilets used to be, there is now a very swish Nespresso Boutique – not shop, not store, you'll note, but "boutique".
At the open door you are greeted by a huge photograph of George Clooney – who, of course, advertises Nespresso on TV. I wandered in to have an idle look around. From the adverts it seemed to me that it would be rather expensive and quite wasteful with those capsules. "Oh, no, it works out at about a dollar per cup", said the young man who was very keen to demonstrate his product. "Have you tried it?" "No? Would you like to try it? How do you like your coffee – weak, strong, medium?" How could I refuse!
He proceeded to demonstrate how the machine works. The capsules come in a range of 12 strengths, all colour-coded. He picked "Levanto" for me, in a bronze coloured capsule. "It is a level 6 intensity", he told me, "a balanced espresso-style, with caramel notes". "You just drop your capsule in here, pull the lever, and your coffee comes out here". Just like George Clooney shows you on the box …
I must admit, the cup of coffee he brewed for me was delicious. But I don't think I will buy a machine. Having it available all day, every day, at home, would spoil the specialness of enjoying a nice coffee when out and about, wouldn't it? Besides, I'd be bouncing off the walls all day with all that caffeine!

Right opposite Nespresso is the MLC Building – an Art Deco building dating back to 1940, and classified as a Category I (places of special or outstanding historical or cultural heritage significance or value) historic place by the NZ Historic Places Trust. It is noted for its streamlined features and beautiful faience tiling.
Right next to it is a kinetic sculpture by Phil Price, consisting of four disks which move independently from each other in the wind. It is called "Protoplasm".

I remember when the Old Bank Arcade was the main branch of the Bank of New Zealand in Wellington. I would struggle up the few steps with my young daughter in her pushchair. It was, and is, a beautiful building. Attractive tiled patterns on the floor; solid, almost intimidating, carved counters on each side; substantial tables down the centre for customer use, with heavy, leather-upholstered chairs.
That was the early 1970s. Then in the 1980s, many venerable old Wellington buildings were being torn down as they presented earthquake risks. Fortunately the old BNZ survived, was strengthened, refurbished and became the Old Bank Arcade, home of some pretty fancy shops and eateries. The tiled floor, the pillars and the beautiful ceilings are there still, as is the grand old clock.

This is where Lambton Quay meets Willis Street, so I crossed and walked back up the other side, towards the Railway Station. At the Plimmer Steps, I couldn't go past the charming statue of John Plimmer and his dog Fritz.
John Plimmer (1812-1905) was a carpenter and builder, and one of the first councillors to serve on the Wellington City Council, which was formed in 1870. Between 1856 and 1871, he served on the Wellington Provincial Council, the first Wellington Town Board, and the Wellington City Council. No wonder he has been called the "Father of Wellington". The steps near which this statue stands were called after him, as was the township of Plimmerton, north of Wellington.
John Plimmer and Fritz
From the first floor of the recently refurbished Lambton Plaza, I was able to take a photo of the Old Public Trust Building. This is one of Wellington's most beautiful historic buildings. It was completed in 1909, and was NZ's first steel frame building. No doubt this is the reason it survived several earthquakes (1923 and 1942). In last year's July quake (centred in Cook Strait), there was some damage, and most of its tenants moved out. There was talk of it "being at risk" (of demolition), but since then, the building has been bought by a developer who will save and redevelop the site.

Finally, as we had a few minutes before the arrival of our bus home, I took a quick look at the new Supreme Court Building, opened in 2010. It has a decorative bronze screen, inspired by intertwining branches of pohutukawa and rata, which wraps around the whole upper floor. The oval shape of the courtroom, as seen from the foyer (I didn't go any further than that), and its cladding of copper panels, emulates the form and texture of the cone of the kauri tree. Unfortunately I couldn't spend more time exploring, but I will go back some time.

The length of Lambton Quay is less than a kilometre, but what a lot there is to see when you are pretending to be a tourist. I can think of lots of other places nearby that would warrant a closer look. This could be the first in an occasional "hometown tourist" series. Watch this space!

Two rides and a Ball
Last weekend (28/29 June) we were in Auckland for our grand-daughter's second birthday. Of course we took our bikes along with us, as we had planned to detour via Paeroa on our way back to Wellington, to ride some or all of the Hauraki Rail Trail. Unfortunately, on Monday, the weather was appalling all across the North Island, so we scrubbed that idea, and just made a bee-line for home. The Hauraki Rail Trail will keep for another time.

By Friday (4 July), the weather had improved enough for us to go for a local ride. We hadn't been down to the Wellington Waterfront for a while, so we parked at the end of Oriental Parade, and rode towards Evans Bay.

Evans Bay Marina
As we rode along the Evans Bay Marina, I became aware that my back wheel had developed an odd sort of "bump, bump". The surface we were riding on was quite smooth, so that wasn't the cause; I stopped to see if I had a flat tyre, but that wasn't the case either. We carried on along Cobham Drive, and there John took a closer look. He noticed that the tyre had a bulge. To make sure it wasn't going to go flat on me while riding, he let the tyre down, felt it all over, and pumped it up again. It seemed to be OK.
John checks the rear tyre on my bike. The airport is at the top right of the photo, and the Miramar Peninsula goes off towards the left
While John was checking the tyre, Alastair Smith and a friend rode past, and stopped to see if we needed help. Alastair is one of the movers and shakers of Cycle Aware Wellington (CAW) and he writes an interesting blog about his cyling adventures (which sound much more active and strenuous than ours!)
He and his friend were heading to ride around the Miramar Peninsula. They said they had to be back in town in an hour's time, so they took off pretty smartly.
We went only as far as the Miramar Wharf, where we turned around to go back. By now a rather brisk nor'westerly headwind had sprung up, and it was quite hard work riding into it, especially around the points of all the little bays. We kept going along Oriental Parade, as I was interested in taking a look at the new Clyde Quay Wharf development, which is now nearing completion.
This is the former Overseas Terminal, which has been rebuilt / converted / expanded into a plush apartment complex, with retail outlets on the ground floor. We took a little detour onto the wharf. The retail spaces were still not quite finished, but many of the apartments appeared to be occupied already, judging from the furniture and plants on many of the balconies.
According to the Clyde Quay Wharf website, 90% of the apartments have been sold, and the final ones are now available for sale, starting at a "mere" $1.4 million for two bedrooms and a car park!
The new Clyde Quay Wharf apartment complex has restored the finial of the original Overseas Terminal. I suppose the pre-fab in the foreground will be removed once everything is completed (photo by John)

We stopped for coffee at the Karaka Café. We were amused by a very persistent seagull, which decided to perch on top of the umbrella of a neighbouring table. The occupants of the table tried several times to shoo him away, but he obviously thought he had a prior right to be there.
"I'm the King of the Castle!"
On our way home, we stopped at the Johnsonville Bike Shop to get advice on the problem tyre. It turned out that it was a defect in the construction, where the fabric casing failed and the tyre became distorted. Luckily, Francis, the owner of the shop, will get us a free replacement.
Today, Sunday 6 July, we rode in the Hutt Valley. As our house is quite sheltered from the south, we were not aware that a brisk southerly was blowing. While riding up the Hutt River Trail from Seaview, we had the wind behind us. We rode on the stopbank, in the sun, and though it was cold, it wasn't a struggle.

We rode without stopping until we got to the Pomare rail bridge. There we took a break, sat in the sun for a while, ate some apple slices, and allowed my numb bum to un-numb.

The way back on top of the stopbank, into a brisk southerly, was an unpleasant prospect, so we rode on Taita Drive, which was a bit more sheltered from the wind. It was quite interesting riding in an area that we are not familiar with. I noticed that because the houses face the stopbank, which will never be built on, the numbering was continuous, rather than just odd or just even numbers.
We stayed on the eastern side of Fraser Park, and further along, of Avalon Park, then rode down some suburban Lower Hutt streets, into a dead-end street, and eventually onto the High Street. On the corner of Mitchell Street is a lovely café, the Janus Bakkerij (not a spelling mistake, it is the Dutch spelling of "bakery"). We sat outside, in the sun, and enjoyed some excellent coffee and baking.

I reckon John suggested a stop here to mollify me, because when we were having our coffee, he said that we could bike along and stop at Jaycar, as we weren't so far away from it. Jaycar is one of his favourite haunts – a supply place for all manner of things electronic – where he is quite capable of spending an hour or more. Fortunately he didn't take too long this time, while I waited outside in the sunshine.
From there we meandered through the roads of Lower Hutt, and down Randwick Road, back to Seaview, where our car was parked. We had ridden 24 km. A very pleasant ride, despite the cold wind.
And what about the Ball, mentioned in the heading of this blog post?
Well, last night I attended the Wellington Region Scottish Country Dance Ball. It had a 1920s theme, and attendees had been invited to dress up in 1920s style, if they wished. Many did, some didn't. Most of the women arrived in wonderful outfits – "flapper" dresses, long strings of beads, feather boas, furs, and feather head-dresses. The men wore either kilts – this was Scottish country dancing after all – or natty striped blazers and boaters.
The (non-alcoholic) punch was served by suitably dressed non-dancing husbands

It was a wonderful event – I really did have "a ball". The dancing was great, of course, and I came home very tired but happy, and with very sore feet!

5th Round Analysis: Lake intrigued about the physical tools of CB Terry Hawthorne and talks CB situation as a whole
Saturday, April 27, 2013 / by Dale Grdnic / / Inside Access, Pittsburgh Steelers / 0 comments
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers continued to add depth to their secondary when they selected 6-foot, 195-pound Illinois cornerback Terry Hawthorne with the 150th overall pick in the fifth round during the 2013 NFL Draft Saturday afternoon.
Hawthorne is the second secondary pick for the Steelers during the third day of the draft, as they also took Syracuse strong safety Shamarko Thomas in the fourth round earlier in the day. This thrilled Steelers secondary coach Carnell Lake, although he pretty much kept his emotions in check while addressing the assembled media for the second time on the day.
"What I like about Terry is that he's got a lot of up-side potential that I see in him," Lake said. "I think he's got all the physical tools. He's big. He's fast. He doesn't mind tackling, and he can play press coverage, kind of in the same (mold) as Ike Taylor. … I just like his ability. He's been productive at Illinois.
"And the things that I'm watching on tape, with some real work, he can be even better. I liked visiting with him. He's really a good guy to be around the current group of guys that we have. I think he'll mesh well with them, personality-wise. I spent several hours with him and got a chance to really get to know him, and I think he's going to be fine in terms of being a teammate with the secondary."
Hawthorne was an honorable-mention All-Big Ten selection in both 2011 and 2012 and had 26 starts in 44 career games for the Fighting Illini, who ranked seventh nationally in total defense and third in pass defense in 2011. He was the defensive MVP in Illinois' 2011 bowl game, returned two of his six interceptions for touchdowns and also was a solid return man.
Hawthorne has the size, speed and athleticism to be effective in single coverage or coming up to the line to stop a running back. This is the type of player the Steelers covet, so why wasn't he picked earlier during this draft.
"From my perspective, if there's anything I could help him with it probably would be his technique," Lake said. "He maybe got himself a little bit out of position and it probably was due to some of the things that I saw with him that I can help clean up.
"So, that's kind of where I see the potential in him. He's really raw right now, so I'd like to hone those skills and really work on those things. … His best asset right now is press, bump and run. (And) he's a low 4.4 guy in the 40."
Hawthorne wasn't certain why he fell into the fifth round.
"Coming into the season, I was one of the top cornerbacks," Hawthorne said. "I guess my stock just dropped. I don't really understand how it could have dropped that low to the fifth round. I just thank God and let him control that. (But), of course, I have a chip on my shoulder.
"I thought I was better than the fifth round. Like I said early, it's really nothing I can control. I just leave it up to God. I loved being (in Pittsburgh) on the visit. They have a great group of coaches. After getting the chance to meet all the coaches, I'm just ready to go. I want to thank (them) for the opportunity."
Lake also was asked about third-year cornerback Curtis Brown's progress.
"Well, we're hoping that Curtis can turn the corner right now," Lake said. "I have a lot of hope for Curtis. I think he's got all the physical tools as well. There's an opportunity for Curtis to come on strong this year, and I think he can do that. … He's been banged up.
"And he already was banged up last year in training camp early. I didn't get a chance to work with him in the spring as a rookie (due to the lockout), and then when he got to training camp (last year) he was banged up. So, I'm hoping that during this training camp, this is an opportunity for him to really grow."
Ike Taylor was spotted in the hallway and appeared to be in tremendous physical condition. Taylor assured Steelers fans that while he wished the team had retained Keenan Lewis, it would be more than all right with Cortez Allen as a starting cornerback.
"Cortez will be da bomb this season," Taylor said.

Everybody's Fine
Ah, that great holiday tradition, the dysfunctional family film. I don't know when it started, but the modern form seems to stem from Ordinary People, that Oscar-winning depress-fest that made us miss Mary Tyler Moore's spunk.
This season's dysfunction starts off with Kirk Jones' (Nanny McPhee, Waking Ned) Everybody's Fine and Robert De Niro, Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell and Drew Barrymore. And, as might be expected from a director with such a gentle pedigree, this isn't your hard-core "you ruined my life and now I'm a drug-addicted suicidal crack whore!" type family dysfunctional movie.
Actually, the dysfunction's pretty mild. De Niro's character is a decent guy, a blue collar wire-insulation man who worked hard to make sure his kids have plenty of opportunities. And his kids, for the most part, aren't screwed up—they're just worried about disappointing him.
On top of that, the one kid who is really screwed up, well, that's not laid at his father's feet.
Kind of refreshing, really. It's less about soul-crushing guilt and despair, and more about communicating to improve relationships. (Sort of an anti-About Schmidt, if you will.)
De Niro is pleasing as the recently widowed father whose kids all cancel a long-planned weekend home, and so decides to embark on a medically ill-advised cross-country journey to see them instead. (The opening scene where he prepares for their arrival is rather touching, with nice touches, such as when he pulls out, inflates and fills the old wading pool.)
The movie flirts with a lot of clichés, reminding me quite a bit of Waking Ned Devine, as it toys a bit with your expectations, but eschews melodrama for something a little less over-the-top and an ultimately less predictable and more satisfying ending.
I rather enjoyed it. We were actually standing there debating whether or not to go see this or The Road, but I've made my opinion on the book rather clear, and the movie is apparently quite faithful to it. So, even without having seen it, I'm pretty sure I picked the more pleasant of experiences available.
It didn't knock The Boy's socks off, of course, but it reminded me, many years ago of having seen Peggy Sue Got Married with my dad. For him, a very emotional movie. (His grandparents were long dead, and so he was deeply touched by Kathleen Turner's trip to the past to see them.) For me, not so much.
One device used here is to show the kids as kids, through De Niro's eyes, and that got to me in a way I wouldn't expect to get to him. Overall, though, I was pleased by the relatively low-level of dysfunction; I think it's a little more realistic than the high dramatics we usually get.
I'm sure the actors love the scene chewing stuff, but there was a lot of nice, low-key drama here. Each of the children lies to their father, trying to protect him from bad news (and also trying to avoid confrontation), but they're not all comfortable with it—or good at it.
So, while the cool, professional Beckinsale puts De Niro off rather mechanically, expressing regrets but not exhibiting a lot of warmth in her attempt to keep news away from him, the bubbly Barrymore is much more facile in her lying, and still very affectionate to him. The more morose Rockwell is an abysmal liar and knows it.
I'm not particularly a De Niro fan (more a matter of the sorts of movies he's in) but he was excellent here as a guy who's trying his best to understand his kids, while his kids are busy hiding from him.
As the man says, you could do worse, and probably will.

Although I agree that the film is mildly appealing maybe that's the problem. Almost from the first minute the film had low ambition written all over it. I wish I could come up with some specifics. All I know is that it was what I call a minor effort picture. Well, one specific is the very structure of the film: the visit to child #1 child #2 and here comes child #3, followed by the denouement. Formulaic.
There was a particularly bad bit of film making in my opinion. The one child who he doesn't see, the artist son who has died in Mexico? After Deniro suffers his heart attack there's the moment when he "sees" that son (grown) from his hospital bed. It's supposed to be a heart rending moment of audience empathy, but any dramatist worth his salt would know that you can't expect an audience to feel anything about a character who they've never even seen until the moment when they're supposed to feel something about him.
Okay, I see that I haven't said one good word about this film. And why should I? ;^)

Would Cap and Trade Persuade China To Reform?
Cap and trade, if it passes at all, will be an imperfect and politically compromised attempt to slow the growth of carbon emissions. It might be "the most important piece of environmental legislation" in all of spacetime, but it will hardly put a dent in worldwide emissions if China and India and other large countries don't take measures to control their own carbon output.
According to Edward L. Glaesar, a Harvard economics professor, that's precisely why passing a climate change bill is so essential. It's not about the policy. It's about sending a message.
This suggests the biggest contribution that the United States can make to reducing world carbon emissions is to persuade the Indians and Chinese to use energy like Frenchmen rather than Americans.
But today there is a powerful whiff of hypocrisy that surrounds Americans who try to persuade the Chinese to use less energy. In the words of one distinguished economist, it is like "a nation of S.U.V. drivers trying to persuade a nation of bicycle riders not to switch to mopeds." Unless Americans take material and costly steps to reduce our carbon emissions, we will have no moral standing in global climate discussions.
Recognizing that the United States will ultimately contain only a modest share of the world's economy and energy should not be an excuse for inaction. Instead, it should lead us to invest now in policies that can create a large global multiplier by helping to convince our soon-to-be larger neighbors to be better custodians of the planet.
I don't think this is very convincing. Even if we could use moral suasion to transform Chinese environmental policy, the argument of the "distinguished economist" is that our leverage over China is only as great as the delta of our per-capita emissions. In other words, China will feel no moral obligation to begin to reduce its carbon emissions unless they're producing more carbon per capita. That won't happen for a long, long time and if it ever does, carbon dioxide levels will be double what they are today no matter what we do.
Let's say that persuading China and India to control emissions is critical to preventing exponential global carbon dioxide growth. So what is the evidence that a cap and trade bill would do that? I'm not saying cap and trade is doomed as a global PR measure. I'm saying I still haven't found something that convinces me.


Now this sounds intriguing: a mysterious politically-charged play staged in a secret location somewhere around the King's College campus on the Strand. This new multimedia play, Colony: Part One, is a collaboration between a diverse set of playwrights, a controversial artist and a rising poet and depicts a dystopian vision where people's rights are challenged at every turn. The theme is colonies: how they form, thrive, survive and die, and how they shape the identity of the people who live and work within them. It couldn't be a more topical subject as unrest escalates in the ex-colony of Hong Kong, the people there re-configuring their barricades, ready for another showdown with the powers that be in their pursuit of individual freedom.
The writers of this show include promising poet Jack Underwoood, Vinay Patel of Hightide, Jingan Young who has worked with the HK Arts Festival, plus four other Royal Court and RIFT theatre writers. Meanwhile, the outspoken and often controversial Chinese artist Aowen Jin will turn the secret location into a forensic site called Intangible that the audience must investigate detective-style. The show also features talented young actors Rebecca Yeo and Edward Degaetano, and is directed by Juanita Mora.
Colony Part One takes place somewhere around Kings College Strand Campus over five nights in October (16, 18, 21, 23, 24) all starting at 8pm. Tickets cost £8 and include a free drink.

It is interesting to note that Newcastle-under-Lyme never featured in the Doomsday Book, commissioned by William the Conqueror. The production of this work was rushed and brought to the king in an unfinished state before the end of 1086. Work on this early collection of data ceased after the death of William in 1087 and it was never completed.
In an article entitled Medieval Newcastle-under-Lyme – A Hidden Doomsday Borough (Staffordshire Studies Vol. III 1990 – 1991 pages 1-21, Robin Studd states that in 1086 the territory occupied from the middle of the 12th century by the town of Newcastle-under-Lyme lay within the manor of Trentham. It appears that there is a double entry for Trentham representing two separate locations, one of which is almost certainly Newcastle.

eli5 – what is brave browser, tor and duck duck go ? Are they all the same product ?

Question39.04K August 25, 2021 7 Comments
I installed brave to test it out and it blocked ads which was cool. But then it has Tor browser and duck duck go search. I'm confused as to what these all do and how to use them.
Edit : thank you all for your explanations !!
waverider1883 commented August 25, 2021
Google and Google Chrome collect A LOT of data on their users. These browsers, and search engines, make the promise to not collect data about their users
0000GKP commented August 25, 2021
Brave is a web browser like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Explorer.
[DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com/) is a search engine like Google or Bing.
Tor is software that helps to hide some behind the scenes stuff so websites you visit can't tell who or where you are.
dmullaney commented August 25, 2021
Brave is a browser (like Chrome or Firefox) which explicitly doesn't track your usage, and disables many of the tracking technology used by web services like Google, Facebook etc
TOR is a basically that thing you see on hacker movies, it bounces your internet connection all over the world to make it harder to trace (functionally equivalent to a VPN for most users)
DDG is a search engine like Google or Bing -. Which explicitly doesn't track information about your searches
When you use them all together, the myriad systems which track and collect data on your internet usage for marketing purposes are greatly curtailed, thus providing you better online privacy
ZeusOfTheCrows commented August 25, 2021
I feel like a broken record, but I have to advocate in favour of not using a browser that [injects referral links without the user's knowledge](https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/06/07/brave-browser-caught-adding-its-own-referral-codes-to-some-cryptcurrency-trading-sites/), among other shady stuff and a homophobic CEO
use Firefox, and if you like the adblocking install [ublock origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/android/addon/ublock-origin/)

Tremolo499 commented August 25, 2021
Duck duck go is a search engine that recently started its own browser. It began as a privacy minded search engine to oppose Google. Firefox is an open source browser by Mozilla. Open source means that the way it's program works is viewable by the public and one can verify that data harvesting isn't happening or at least when it's happening. That comes with lots of privacy compared to Chrome or Explorer.
Other browsers (Brave, Tor) are modified versions of Firefox. Since Firefox is open source, it can be changed and used in other browsers. Duck duck go's browser is probably from Firefox also. Tor uses onion routing which basically means it shields much more information from the sites you visit than most any other browser and is the only browser that can access the dark web.
Brave is supposedly a good browser, but most privacy experts would recommend using a 'hardened' version of Firefox. You can look up how to set up Firefox this way on Youtube.
magnanimous_lemon commented August 26, 2021
I say this as a brave user.
There's a lot of silly ideas out there on brave. Yes, Google does collect a ton of data on you. But Brave doesn't solve this at all. Brave is literally a skin on top of generic Google chrome. Google allows this because they don't care who's "browser" you use – they just want the data.
On top of that, brave does record information on you. That's how they know which ads to serve you, how much of the shitcoin you've earned, etc etc. What wallets you're connected to etc etc.
As others have pointed out, brave does shady things themselves. They also want to store all your passwords and crypto wallets and let's just say I have a lot more trust in Google not getting hacked or having an inside job than I do in brave.
I do not do anything that has sensitive info or passwords for things like banking and crypto on brave. In fact, the one wallet of mine that there was a known hacking attack was the brave wallet I needed to create in order to collect the BAT which is a shitcoin. I found out of the attack because I got about 100+ emails at 3 am all set the same time that someone tried to access my account. Someone tried to brute force it and they didn't even have a circuit breaker to prevent attempts after a certain number. Only like $40 there and they didn't get it but was a nice reminder to never do anything for real money on brave because they're clearly security compromised.
The positives of brave is that being chrome it has better capabilities over Firefox. The advantage to not being chrome is that they give you about $1-3 a month in their money printer shitcoin each month. I doubt bat will survive, the concept is stupid and there's nothing backing it as it's just a revenue sharing thing. But hey, it's kind of neat to just have $20 at the end of the year.
Duck duck go is a search engine that doesn't track you and is more transparent about ads. It's pretty good but not as nice as Google. They also have their own mobile browser which is all about the non tracking but frankly it's nice to have bookmarks/saved passwords/etc and not need to start from scratch every session. Near browser but not a daily driver, more the kind for a search you don't want on your Google history like if you were searching for nearest std clinic. I believe duck duck go is making a PC browser but am unsure.
Tor is how people go about the dark web. If you need to ask then this isn't for you.
The only legit reason to use brave is for the "hey I made $20 this year" otherwise if you care about tracking and privacy then Firefox is your friend

Waiting to make you smile again.


The Fifty Best held a "blind" tasting of 6 white rums with 18 members of The Fifty Best's spirits judging panel. Strict tasting rules were applied. The order of service was established beforehand by lottery. Each of the rums were poured into fresh glasses from new sealed bottles, and served at slightly above room temperature. Only ice water, neutral unflavored crackers and chips were available to cleanse the palate.
The judges wrote down their impressions of each product on score sheets. The scoring was done on a 5-point system, with 5 as the best. Gold and Silver medals are awarded according to a set range of final point scores received from the judges. There were no Double Gold or Bronze medals awarded for this tasting.

Whether you want to do it for yourself or you're supporting someone in your family who has health or food issues, eating healthy is important. It can also be hard, but it doesn't have to be. Many people panic when thinking about changing the way they eat because it feels impossible. It's not, I promise. Here are 20 ridiculously easy tips for healthy eating that you can do today.
The Delbeouf illusion is a phenomenon that causes us to misjudge the size of identical circles when they are surrounded by larger circles of different sizes. The more white space we see, the smaller the darker object appears, basically. This holds true for our eating habits as well, according to Cornell University (@CUFood_BrandLab). You don't necessarily need to cut your portions; just put them on a smaller plate.
Food is at its best and most nutritious when fresh. Anti-oxidants like vitamin C and carotenes deteriorate more the longer they're left to sit, says RebootWithJoe (@joethejuicer).
For a quick look at what's in season in your area, take a look at this guide from Sustainable Table (@eatsustainable). Or check out our own ultimate guide for buying produce in season.
Shop your local farmer's market for the freshest produce in your area. Azumio (@azumioinc) reminds us that by shopping at a farmer's market, you'll also get to meet the folks who grow your food and ask questions about the process.
It's lunchtime and you find yourself faced with a dilemma: eat cafeteria food or run across the street and buy a burger? Cafeteria food is often unappealing and expensive. The cheap hamburger is greasy and full of empty nutrients. For a healthier (and often cheaper) option, Debbie the Dietician (@DebbietheRD) suggests packing your own lunch. Since you're the one preparing it, you can make sure it includes your favorite dishes.
Out of sight, out of mind totally applies, as James Clear (@james_clear) discusses here. When you store your food, put healthy items in large, clear containers. Put any unhealthy foods, like cookies, in smaller containers. You're more likely to notice and go for the larger boxes and containers than, say, a sandwich bag shoved to the back of the cupboard with the dust bunnies.
The first time I heard this, I thought it meant to use half your plate. In a way, it does, just not the way I thought. As Healthy-Diet-Habits.com (@LifeStyleSoIn) explains, it actually refers to how much of each food group should be on your plate. Your plate should be half filled with fruits and veggies. Allot 1/4 for grains and the other 1/4 for protein. With a glass of milk or a sprinkle of cheese, that's all the nutrition you need.
My mother has a beautiful three-tiered metal fruit basket sitting on a table by her front door. She always has oranges, bananas, and apples in it. Do you know the first thing that my kids do at Grandma's house? They grab a piece of fruit to snack on. This article from Lifehacker (@lifehacker) explains that you're more likely to grab the first thing you see and go, so the fruit basket near the front door was a pretty good trick!
As with the plate trick we talked about earlier, this one relies on optical illusion. As BrickMarketDeli (@BrickMarketDeli) expands on here, we have a tendency to think something is bigger than it is based on vertical lines. So, if you drink soda out of a wine glass, your body will think you've had more than you really did. As a result, you'll drink less of it.
Eatright.org (@eatright) says cutting back on meat at least once a week can help improve your diet. They don't just mean skip the meat; they mean add something in place of it, too. Make sure you add beans or lentils to maintain your protein intake.
Given the food pyramid we all learned in school, this one should seem like a no-brainer. However, many Americans don't follow this teaching, says Everyday Health (@EverydayHealth). Fruits and vegetables offer a variety of nutrients that help boost and maintain our immune systems, so eat up! Remember, variety is the spice of life, and there is no shortage of variety here. Even better, choose produce with different colors.
Eating healthy doesn't mean you have to give up your favorite treats. There are many DIY versions of well-known and loved snacks, as LaughingLemonPie.com (@Blogspiration42) points out. They even offer their own DIY recipe for hohos right here to get you started!
We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Therefore, we should pay close attention to what we eat first thing in the morning. Many Americans, myself included, grab a bowl of cereal in the morning and call it a day. Activebeat.com (@ActiveBeat) explains why taking an extra minute or two for a bowl of oatmeal is actually a healthier choice.
No matter your reasons for wanting to eat healthy, it doesn't have to be hard. These easy to implement ideas will help get you started on the right path to a healthier lifestyle. Do you have any ideas you used that weren't mentioned here? Let us know in the comments, and don't forget to share this article with your friends and family.

Q: Can I use Entity Framework for this? I am working on a application which I want to expose to external world using ODATA. Let me first give you idea of that application.
In that application I need to create a library that will allow the users to perform CRUD operations on the database. For this client has provided XSD , from which we need to generate the classes. Using these classes and client provided data service provider user can perform the CRUD operations.
This application is ready and now I want to expose it using ODATA.  Here are my findings w.r.t. exposing this library as ODATA

*

*I need to either use Custom/ Reflection provider as I cannot use Entity Framework because I do not have access to data.

But In future the XSD will change. So I need to change the metadata whenever this happens. Can I handle it such a way that latest metaddata will always be exposed without changing my code?
Shall I go ahead with reflection / custom provider?
Thanks,
Ram

A: You can definitely change the shape of the OData that is returned when the XSD changes. However, there is a serious problem with this. Most clients will generate client classes based on the SSDL that was present when the service reference was added. As a result, clients will fail as the object model will not match the new shape of data.
You are much better off creating a new version of the service when the schema changes. Then, even if you need to remove the previous versions (which will cause a runtime error on the client).
The other option is to use WCF forward compatible features. However, I have no idea how they work with WCF Data Services.

Not only is she one of the best rugby 7s players in the world, representing Australia in the Commonwealth Games and in the gold medal-winning team at Rio, Charlotte's a well-loved role model. "I really do think that rugby is a great sport for young girls to follow. It shows we can be strong, fast and tackle just as good as anyone," she says. She's even challenged stereotypes of toughness, saying that just because she fake tans and wears ribbons in her hair, she's no less a force on the field. We reckon her 99.8K Insta followers definitely wouldn't argue with that!

This high jumper and ambassador for the Charlie Teo Foundation for brain cancer research is determined not to let setbacks define her. Earlier this year, a knee injury forced the 25-year-old to pull out of contention to represent Australia in the Commonwealth Games, while six years ago before the London 2012 Olympics, it was a brain tumour. "I thought I might never be able to jump again," Amy says of having the tumour removed. "Ever since, I've wanted to help in any way I can to raise awareness around the cause. Brain cancer is the highest cancer killer of people under the age of 40, but it doesn't have the same awareness as other cancers." Amy's long road to recovery took "a lot of tears and fights with my mum, who's also my coach", but it resulted in her jumping a PB. "These setbacks make you stronger in the long run. The goal now is to make the 2020 Olympics," she says. "I just want to be able to inspire people to show them you can hit rock bottom but still [go on to] make your dreams a reality."

Founded by France in the eighteenth century as the capital of New France, Mobile became part of the United States in 1813 when President James Madison ceded West Florida from Spain. Although only a small port at the time, it grew quickly as it evolved into the nation's second-largest exporter of cotton behind New Orleans. By the outbreak of the Civil War, Mobile was the largest city in Alabama and the fourth largest in the Confederacy.
