This week I feel like a caterpillar who has spent months hiding in a chrysalis and is now emerging as a butterfly into this lovely Spring weather. OK it's not consistently warm but at least I don't feel like I need a sou'wester and thigh-high fishing wellys just to do the school run.
Those moments when the wind drops and the sun shines and I can actually feel the warmth lift my spirits. I love being able to dress in the brighter Spring colours and even on the better days slip on my favourite comfy flip-flops! Spring styles just fit right in with my deluded vision of myself as a shorter, older, plumper version of that wispy blonde walking through fields of buttercups in the shampoo adverts tossing her hair.
Now regular readers know I am not one to ever use the words "lovely" and "walk" together. I have no consistent exercise routine and my trainers are as clean today as the day I bought them, having only been used in to walk round the shops in comfort.
But even I enjoyed a "stick walk" organised by my local church at the weekend. So-called because the children always pick up a couple of ridiculously large sticks and insist on dragging them the whole way. Or in the case of 5-year-old Grumpy insist on ME dragging them the whole way after he got bored with holding them. Well, to be honest it was better for me to carry his precious sticks than for him to swing them around blinding anyone who came within 6 feet of him!
A gang of us yomped along for an hour pointing out spring flowers, blossom and the amazing view and came back to church for a well-deserved cuppa and enough cake to more than negate the calorie loss from the short walk!
The Spring weather also inspired me to play gardener. Now, if you could see my garden you would know it's never going to be a candidate for the Open Gardens Scheme. Unless as a way of making the visitors feel great about their own garden! It's a prime example of what a garden will look like if you neglect weeding and mowing in favour of sitting in a deckchair with a cold drink and a good book.
But in one of those shops where you can get everything for an pound I found an array of seeds which I couldn't resist. I picked up two medium sized planters, a box of compost which was easy to pop into my bag but expanded x10 when I added water at home (clever!) and seed discs to grow three types of herb and some spring onion seeds which I'm both and amazed and delighted to say are already sprouting!
For once I followed the instructions and after planting covered with cling film and popped on our bathroom windowsill as apparently the seeds need a humid environment. And our bathroom is definitely that - there are 8 people living in my house and the shower is well used! So hopefully in a couple of months I will be able to sit in my deckchair and dunk home-grown spring onions into some nice sour cream dip while I read my book and ignore the lawn-mower lurking among the weeds.
I even had the roof off my car this week (don't panic - it is designed to come off!) which always makes me feel decades younger than I actually am.
I imagine that as I whizz by in a blur in my little silver Pug with its gorgeous red and black leather trim I might be mistaken for a yummy mummy not the Hag of Hertfordshire I see in the mirror in the morning. Although even that reflection will improve as soon as a get a bit of colour in my cheeks -that is if the sun can make its way past my wrinkle-busting SPF loaded face cream.
How about you dear reader? How have you been making the most of this week's milder weather? I'd love to know - please leave a comment below!
It sounds like our views of spring are not that dissimilar, although you are way ahead of me on the gardening front! Dropping in from the Sanctuary Linky.
Sounds like a lovely springtime!
Lovely to see spring all around us and the children out without coats. Sticks are a feature of all farm play here too, every child's essential extra! Well done on the gardening too.

Hybrid mobile applications are like any other applications you will see on your mobile. They get easily installed on your mobile device. You can look for these apps in the App stores. By using these apps, you can engage your friends via social media, play games, track your health, take photos and much more.
Hybrid mobile applications are developed using a combination of web technologies like CSS, HTML, and JS as same as websites on the internet. The major difference is that hybrid applications are hosted inside a native app which further uses a mobile platform's WebView. Here, WebView is a chromeless browser window which is typically configured to run fullscreen.
In fact, hybrid mobile apps enable you to access various device capabilities viz. camera, accelerometer, contacts, and much more. However, inside mobile browsers don't allow you to access these capabilities from it. Furthermore, hybrid mobile applications include native UI elements in those situations where it is necessarily required, as proved by Basecamp's approach towards hybrid mobile application development.
It is not easy to answer the question how a mobile app is built. Similarly, hybrid mobile apps are no different. A well-written hybrid application should not behave or look any different than its native equivalent. However, users don't care about it as they only want an app that works well. It is what actually matters to them. If you are trying to figure out whether a mobile application is hybrid or native, it would be like you are trying to differentiate rare grape varieties of wine.
Unless you are the one who really cares about this, it is not terribly important. What all matters are how your hybrid mobile application development is going to work in the long run as no one will care about how it was built. A hybrid mobile application is said to be good if it performs well for its users.
How are hybrid mobile applications built?
Like other websites are built, hybrid mobile apps follow the same manner. Both are built with a combination of technologies like CSS, HTML, and JS. Generally, a hybrid app targets a Web View which is hosted inside a native container rather than targeting a mobile browser. This allows its users to access various hardware capabilities of the mobile device.
If we talk about Apache Cordova, it was actually started as a project named PhoneGap. But nowadays, PhoneGap is considered as a distribution of Apache Cordova which includes additional tools. To know more about its history, you can check out Cordova, PhoneGap and what's in a name?
Various application assets like CSS, HTML, JS are packaged via tooling through Apache Cordova for targeting platform SDKs. Once a hybrid app is built, it can be run just like any other app on the mobile device. Apache Cordova provides the tooling that is highly driven by a command line interface. However, mobile app developers can still leverage IDEs such as Visual Studio and effective solutions like the Telerik Platform to further increase productivity.
Since mobile app developers don't want to be getting locked into proprietary platforms, so hybrid mobile apps give a way to mobile app developers for re-using their existing skills in web development. This mainly includes SDKs provided by platform vendors and the programming languages.
Obviously, it's true that mobile app developers become able to target multiple platforms with hybrid mobile app development. But when it comes to WebView or web runtime, each platform comes with a set of caveats. This is more true for Android and not consistent between OS versions.
Furthermore, there must be some unique capabilities of platforms to which a mobile app developer may wish to target. In such cases, a combination of platform-specific code and plugins must be utilized which will take advantages of those capabilities. Optionally, mobile app developers can take advantage of 3rd party web runtimes such as Crosswalk which can be further embedded into your hybrid applications.
When should you build a hybrid mobile application?
– What are the technical abilities of your mobile development team?
– Which mobile app platforms do you wish to target?
– Are you looking to use the multiple capabilities of the mobile device?
– Do you want to distribute your apps through the app stores?
– Does the hybrid approach really live up to its promise in the coming years?
The above questions are needed to be answered properly before the development of mobile apps. You may further evaluate more questions in detail.
WHICH MOBILE APP PLATFORMS DO YOU WISH TO TARGET?
You may have a number of choices if you want to target more than one platform. This is because the web offers a highly interactive solution for this purpose. However, the mobile browser is your target. HYbrid apps lend itself to this due to its reliance upon the WebView.
On the other hand, Native apps find a unique space among this. In fact, you are essentially coupled to this platform if you rely upon platform-specific programming languages and vendor SDKs. For this case, Objective-C or Swift is used for iOS, Java is used for Android and C# is used for Windows phone.
DO YOU WANT TO DISTRIBUTE YOUR MOBILE APP VIA APP STORES?
If you want to distribute your app via an app store, you must build a native or hybrid app. You can not distribute sites through app stores. Hence, browser's address bar is provided for this. Despite this limitation, whether you build a hybrid or native app, it is strongly recommended that you must have a website available for your mobile app. You need to create this because this will be the first place your app users might expect to go in case if they stuck with any problem.
ARE YOU LOOKING TO USE THE CAPABILITIES OF THE MOBILE DEVICE?
As compared to native and hybrid apps, websites have a limited set of abilities. These limitations are put up by a browser that effectively sandboxing it from mobile OS. A lot more device capabilities are exposed through HTML5 with the help recent developments with mobile browsers which include geolocation, camera, and others.
In spite of these advancements, support for advanced functionality is still limited. For an instance, streaming and media capture are still unsupported in various mobile browsers. Due to these limitations with mobile browsers, there are many mobile app developers who are compelled to evaluate native and hybrid apps as alternatives. These platforms enable mobile app developers to access device APIs. While in case of hybrid apps, plugins support this capability.
It is often said that native app development is best suited for apps where graphics performance is paramount. The best example is the mobile games which completely rely on complex visual interactions on the screen. No matter, how wonderful game app you have developed for your users and how flawlessly it operates from a functional perspective, you can expect this game app to have a very low app store rating if it is lacking energy. Due to these reasons, mobile app developers have long argued for using a hybrid approach to build their game applications.
However, there exist a number of solutions for hybrid mobile apps. This includes WebGL and HTML5 Canvas that are well-suited to build game applications. In fact, these technologies are most preferred and approachable for mobile app developers due to the presence of libraries like EaselJS, Paper.js, and others. This is not limited to game development only. Developers build more traditional, line-of-business apps by using frameworks like Kendo UI and Famo.us.


Dance music website Data Transmission and local music venue Unit Nine will host an event on International Women's Day to find female DJ talent in Milton Keynes.
On Friday March 8th, the venue will host the event from 12pm to 5pm at the Unit Nine music venue in Wolverton. The move will be part of the event's move to help further Data Transmission's aim to further assist the help of DJ's breakthrough into running events.
The event will launch the community's Hack the DJ event series, and will be a free day of discussions, panels, keynote addresses and fireside chats with some truly inspirational music industry women & men from places such as BBC Radio, Mixmag, Kaluki, Relief, Favouritism, Garage Nation and Data Transmission.
DT head honcho Grahame Farmer said the event was looking to capitalise on the recent launch of multiple major events in the area, and broaden the talent pool for bookers after finding it was exclusively male.
He said, "The recent launch of three major events in our city has been exciting for everyone in electronic music.
"These events are going to start to rebuild a culture here which has been held together for a long time by one small venue, doing the utmost to cater for every musical taste.
"The sad fact is that promoters booking the events have booked the local support from the best local talent available – unfortunately, these have all been male acts.
People who are interested in taking part can do so at this address.

My second track is ready for testing. Not sure there won't be shortcuts... not sure at all.
Sometimes I get a lag and sometimes I can do 4 rounds without any trouble so I'm not really sure if there is a problem with the track itself or my pc.
Checkpoint 6 is hard to find.
My first lap was 7:07, second was 4:40 and last was 4:04. No lag at all here. I'll have a few more notes later.
* Course segments should be smaller and not that close to objects/ground boxes, to avoid problems with computer trucks. The green line is an example.
* Buildings (Ground Boxes) should have their top/bottom faces properly painted.
* Ground boxes painted with building texures with 2 floors should not have an altitude +~20. Since the base (bottom) ground box altitude in that groundbox is 120, the altitude should not reach ~140. (At least, that's my standard with my city tracks) This will keep the track a little bit more realistic, when it comes to City tracks.
Well, I didn't think the top of the buildings would matter because you don't see it in the game anyway. But you're right, it looks a bit strange. I have also altered the course segments.
Btw... nice building textures you've made! There weren't enough of those Is it ok if I use some?
>Well, I didn't think the top of the buildings would matter because you don't see it in the game anyway.
But you see them on Trackview.
>Is it ok if I use some?
Technicaly this isn't a problem at all, but concider spreading the cp markers apart a bit more. I think they should span the width of the roadway.
Good job, it's a fun track! However, finding where you're supposed to go is very difficult between CPs 5 and 8, and again between 17 and 19. The city needs some more signage just for direction. CP 7 could use an arrow pointing to the inside of the post. I also think that the "floating arrows" might be better served by a larger sign over the track, my drivers won't let me do anti-aliasing, and therefore I can't really see it until its too late.
Course ? What course ? See my notes above, and cale's too. The course should be visually obvious without the map, shouldn't it? Maybe?
The course should be visually obvious without the map, shouldn't it? Maybe?
I'll make the course more obvious.

Q: Visual Studio Code C# Intellisense Not Working I'm having problems with Intellisense not totally working with C#. For some things it does work (Ex: trying to have a using statement), and for other things it doesn't (Ex: Linq queries or in a startup.cs file app.{enter whatever} shows nothing). But for my other classmates it does show all of these for them. The green flame for Omnisharp says the server is running and my language is set to C#. Sorry, I don't exactly know the best way to give the Omnisharp log, its too big for a screenshot, and my first time posting. EDIT: Also nothing gets underlined when something won't work, I don't know if this helps but it's something I have also noticed happens for my other classmates when they are using VS code

A: What helped me when I had the same problem was the comment from here.
Steps to fix the issue
Open the file:
cd /usr/share/dotnet/sdk/$(dotnet --version)/Sdks/Microsoft.NET.Sdk/Sdk
sudo vim Sdk.props

Find a line:
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\$(MSBuildToolsVersion)\Microsoft.Common.props" />

And replace with output of this command:
echo "<Import Project=\"/usr/share/dotnet/sdk/$(dotnet --version)/Current/Microsoft.Common.props\" />"
# <Import Project="/usr/share/dotnet/sdk/2.2.402/Current/Microsoft.Common.props" />

Additionally, I removed the obj directory from project dir and run dotnet restore to make sure everything is fresh.

Another thing you could do is to install newest mono. You can find the instructions for your distribution on the official download page.

Climate, nature and people: a shared future for our planet
The stakes have never been higher. Our planet is warming and losing species at an alarming rate. Two global conferences over the past two months brought people from across the world around a common topic — climate and biodiversity. The challenges in both areas are symptoms of the same problem: our unsustainable production and consumption. Despite the complexity of the negotiations, these conferences are crucial for global awareness, consensus and urgent action.
Summer 2022: Living in a state of multiple crises
It seems as if we have been living through one crisis after another — a pandemic, extreme heatwaves and drought due to climate change, inflation, war, and an energy crisis. This winter is likely to be marked by continued uncertainty, high volatility in global markets like energy and food, which will affect some countries and groups more than others. Tackling these crises, especially in the long term, requires steadfast policy commitment and investments in sustainability to strengthen our societies' resilience.
Living in a state of multiple crises: health, nature, climate, economy, or simply systemic unsustainability?
From policy corridors to academic platforms, the world has been talking about global crises: a health crisis, an economic and financial crisis, a climate crisis and a nature crisis. Ultimately, they are all symptoms of the same problem: our unsustainable production and consumption. The COVID-19 shock has only revealed the systemic frailty of our global economy and society with all their inequalities.
How are Europe's cities adapting to climate change and moving to a sustainable future?
Adapting to the impacts of climate change is a top priority in the European Union. What is driving cities to implement important measures to mitigate these impacts and make urban centres more resilient and sustainable? We sat down with Ivone Pereira Martins, EEA expert in urban sustainability on what the Agency is doing to help this vital work.
Shaping the Europe of 2050: healthier, cleaner and more resilient
A year into living with COVID-19 and its impacts, Europe continues to put forth policy packages towards its ambitious goals outlined in the European Green Deal. It is essential that Europe stays on course towards its targets and ensures that the Europe of 2050 is a resilient society built on solidarity, providing a healthy environment for all of us.
EEA-Eionet Strategy 2021-2030: delivering data and knowledge to achieve Europe's climate and environment ambitions
Our joint Strategy indicates our direction of travel. It introduces a new way of working together and creating knowledge — more agile, more responsive, more pro-active, more actionable — befitting the challenges we will face and the knowledge we will need in the decade to come.
Reflecting on climate-neutrality ambitions in Europe in times of Covid-19
European countries are taking drastic measures to limit the impacts of Covid-19 on Europeans' health and the economy. Such crises tend to have immediate and severe impacts on entire populations and the economy. Considering its potential to affect key economic sectors, the coronavirus crisis is expected to reduce some of the impacts of economic activities on the environment and climate. Yet, major and abrupt shocks with an extremely high cost to society are not at all how the European Union has committed to transform its economy and achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The European Green Deal and the recently proposed European Climate Law call instead for irreversible and gradual reductions in emissions, while ensuring a just transition, supporting those affected.
Climate change adaptation is key to future of farming in Europe
This past summer's heatwaves and extreme weather events have broken new climate records in Europe once again reinforcing the importance of climate change adaptation. We sat down with Blaz Kurnik, a European Environment Agency (EEA) expert on climate change impacts and adaptation to discuss the EEA's new report on how climate change is impacting agriculture in Europe which came out earlier this month.
How do environmental hazards affect vulnerable groups in Europe?
Targeted action is needed to better protect Europe's most vulnerable populations, including the poor, the elderly and children, from environmental hazards like air and noise pollution and extreme temperatures. Aleksandra Kazmierczak, a European Environment Agency (EEA) climate change adaptation expert, explains the main findings of a new EEA report that assesses the links between social and demographic inequalities and exposure to air pollution, noise and extreme temperatures.
Understanding and acting on the complexity of climate change
Climate change is one of the most important challenges of our time. Its impacts are felt across the globe, affecting people, nature and the economy. To mitigate climate change, we need to reduce global emissions of greenhouse gases significantly. Translating this overall objective into concrete measures requires understanding a complex system linking emissions from different sources to national and regional impacts, global governance and potential co-benefits. The European Environment Agency strives to continuously improve the knowledge needed for designing effective measures on the ground.
Climate change and water — Warmer oceans, flooding and droughts
Climate change is increasing the pressure on water bodies. From floods and droughts to ocean acidification and rising sea levels, the impacts of climate change on water are expected to intensify in the years ahead. These changes are prompting action across Europe. Cities and regions are already adapting, using more sustainable, nature-based solutions to lessen the impact of floods and using water in smarter, more sustainable ways to enable us to live with droughts.
Environmental change: knowledge is key to mitigating impacts on people and nature
Environmental policy making is not an easy task. On the one hand, Europeans want to enjoy the benefits a well-functioning economy provides. On the other, there are significant environmental and health costs attached to our lifestyle choices. A systemic understanding of how nature, economy and human health are connected is essential for identifying the best policy options available. The European Environment Agency aims to support policy making by providing exactly this kind of knowledge.
Climate change in Europe: Responding to disasters and preparing for an uncertain future
Floods, strong winds, heatwaves, droughts… Climate change and climate-change related extreme weather events are a cause of a growing concern not only in Europe but everywhere in the world. Many communities are affected by such extreme events and have to take measures to prevent and minimise the harm. How can communities adapt to a changing climate and prepare for and respond to climate-related disasters? We interviewed Sergio Castellari, EEA expert on climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation.
Effective policies are based on a robust knowledge base and solid science
At all governance levels, public policy making entails making decisions between different options and approaches. Some decisions, such as to invest in fossil fuels or renewables, might involve selecting one option over the other. Others might address the 'how' question – we will invest in renewables but which ones are the best for the society? Each policy decision results in outcomes, some of which might be unforeseen, unexpected or even detrimental to those whose lives it is supposed to improve. In the long term, the overall harm can be much larger than gains in the short term. To achieve the positive and lasting results on the ground, policy makers need to be able to make informed decisions, after assessing the benefits and costs of each available option.
Climate finance: resources for low-carbon, climate-resilient Europe
Our climate is changing. We must reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit the rate of climate change, and at the same time, take measures that help us prepare for current and future impacts. Both of these strands of action require unprecedented redirection of investments. This was acknowledged by the climate conferences in Paris and recently in Marrakesh. The finance sector can and will play an instrumental role in supporting Europe's transition towards a low- carbon, climate-resilient society.
Sustainable management is the key to healthy forests in Europe
Forests in Europe provide us essential services: clean air, clean water, natural carbon storage, timber, food and other products. They are home to many species and habitats. We talked about the challenges Europe's forests face with Annemarie Bastrup-Birk, forest and environment expert at the European Environment Agency.
Green infrastructure: better living through nature-based solutions
Green infrastructure offers attractive solutions to environmental, social and economic issues, and as such needs to be fully integrated across different policy domains. As the EEA prepares to publish a report on the role of green infrastructure in mitigating the impacts of weather and climate change related natural hazards, we spoke to its lead author, Gorm Dige, project manager for territorial environment, policy and economic analysis.
Climate change and the seas
Climate change is warming the oceans, causing acidification of marine environments, and changing rainfall patterns. This combination of factors often exacerbates the impacts of other human pressures on the seas, leading to loss of marine biodiversity. Many human livelihoods depend on marine biodiversity and ecosystems, so action to limit ocean warming must be taken quickly.
Climate change and investments
Measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change are often considered to be expensive, and are seen as an additional burden on the economy. But European countries are already spending public and private funds on research, infrastructure, agriculture, energy, transport, urban development, social protection, health, and nature conservation. We can ensure that our existing expenditure on these areas favours climate-friendly and sustainable options that will help to create new jobs.
Climate change and human health
Climate change in Europe is already affecting public health, and will continue to do so in the future. How does it affect Europeans today? What does the future look like? We asked these questions to Bettina Menne from WHO Europe.

1. Recordings have been made of the pressures in the mantle cavity of some coastal cephalopods, both at rest and while swimming, under conditions as near normal as possible. Pressures of up to 180 cm. of water were developed by Sepia officinalis (250 g. weight), 300 cm. by Loligo vulgaris (350 g.) 170 cm. by Octopus vulgaris (370 g.) and 400 cm. by Eledone moschata (600 g.).
2. The momentum produced by the efflux of the jet of water from the mantle cavity was recorded on an isometric myograph, attached to the head of the animal by a thread, as a tension. The swimming tensions, derived from maximum jet pressures, were in general equivalent to the body weight in Loligo, Sepia and Eledone but in Octopus never exceeded half body weight.
3. In Octopus, however, the arms are powerfully developed and, using five arms for attachment to the side of the tank, they can exert holding tensions of up to 100 times their body weight. In an Octopus of 1 g. body weight this is equivalent to a tension of 2 kg./cm.2 in the longitudinal muscle at the base of the arms.
4. Comparisons of the tensions and pressures obtained in simultaneous recordings during jet swimming showed, that, with the exception of Octopus, the tension developed is generally equal to twice the cross sectional area of the jet multiplied by the pressure.
5. The theoretical maximal velocity for a single jet cycle in Loligo and Eledone was in accord with observed velocities and the much lower theoretical velocity of Octopus is discussed.

Yavaway uses a sophisticated platform with the best CAT (Computer-assisted or Computer-aided Translation) tools. Not to be confused with machine translation, CAT tools are used by human translators, and this software helps manage terminology to support and facilitate the translation process. This includes keeping a record of all of the client's previously translated text and terminology preferences at the fingertips of linguists for easy and immediate reference while they are doing translation work.
Many freelancers cannot afford high-quality CAT tools, and their work suffers greatly for it. However, Yavaway uses only the best tools.
Yavaway manages what we call the "translation memory" of each client's entire work history in a database. The database is accessible to our linguists in each language, and this service is included in our fees.
Why does Yavaway database clients' work?
By centralizing your work in one terminology database that we manage, for all future translations, you will not be charged for material that we have already translated for you before, such as a comp plan.
Here's a common example. When a company makes an adjustment in their pay plan, it often means that many different departments need to deal with us, each not always realizing how a change in one document impacts another. We track these things, often better than the company itself.
Not only that, but because we have done the first translation, and we preserve all the different versions, we will see exactly where the changes are. Then we'll only translate the relevant parts and not charge you for translating every word in the same long document twice.
For example, if you decided to make a handful of alterations to your comp plan by changing a dozen sentences here and there then adding three additional paragraphs, you could send Yavaway the entire document, but would only be charged for translation of the three new paragraphs that you added and the dozen sentences that you changed. You would not be charged for retranslation of the rest of the comp plan that Yavaway had already translated for you in the past. Once the work is completed, Yavaway would return the document to you with the newly translated text integrated with the text of the older unchanged translation.
This is something few agencies will do for you, and no freelancer will. That's why the more you use Yavaway, the less you end up paying, because we don't charge you for translation that you already paid for before.
We cover network marketing translation for some of the biggest names in the Direct Sales industry. From Desktop publishing (DTP) in any language pair to creating and translating video subtitles, video encoding, video captions, voice-overs, and CMS updates in all languages, and in any format for the MLM industry.

Q: How to resolve error in Holtwinters forecast model with R? I have simple monthly dataset and simply trying this code:
`df2.holtwinters <- subset(df, account_id==loopitem)
  x.holtwinters <- ts(df2.holtwinters$amount_usd, start = c(2015,1), end = c(2019,5), frequency = 12)
  arima1.holtwinters <- HoltWinters(x.holtwinters)
  forecast1.holtwinters <- predict(arima1.holtwinters, n.ahead=1*1)

The dataset look like this:
`      id     <date>         <dbl>
1     123  2015-01-01       -390
2     123  2015-02-01        944
3     999  2015-01-01        672

It is giving following erros:
`In HoltWinters(x.holtwinters) :
  optimization difficulties: ERROR: ABNORMAL_TERMINATION_IN_LNSRCH

A: Since I cannot see which data you are using, it is not easy to say what went wrong, but here is an example code which might be helpful.
Let's get retail data from Rob Hyndman's website
library(forecast)

retail <- read.csv("https://robjhyndman.com/data/ausretail.csv",header=FALSE)

remove date column and create a mts classed data
retail <- stats::ts(retail[,-1], start = c(1982,4), frequency = 12)

plot the first time series (first column)
plot(retail[,1])

fit Holt Winters to first time series in the data
fit <- HoltWinters(retail[,1])

use predict function to get forecast as you did
fc <- predict(fit, n.ahead = 12)

plot(fc)

Or you can use forecast function to get a forecast output which is nice.
fc <- forecast(fit, n.ahead = 12)

plot(fc)

using AirPassengers data if for some reasons you could not get retail data
fit <- HoltWinters(AirPassengers)

fc <- predict(fit, n.ahead = 12)

plot(fc)

or you can use forecast function to get a forecast output
fc <- forecast(fit, n.ahead = 12)

plot(fc)

forecasting loop for many time series
nts <- ncol(retail) # number of time series

h = 12 # forecast horizon

fc <- matrix(nrow = h, ncol = nts)

for (i in 1:nts) {

  fc[,i] <- forecast(HoltWinters(retail[,i]), h = h)$mean # it will return point forecast

}

colnames(fc) <- colnames(retail)

fc

I would recommend to take look into fable package.

Anti Bullying Week 16th - 20th November
The theme for Anti-Bullying Week 2020 was United Against Bullying. We worked hard this week to learn about anti-bullying and to focus on being kind to others (our school motto). We continue to develop our school community to ensure that bullying does not happen in our school, that everyone feels safe, accepted and happy.
We started the week wearing Odd Socks which was good fun but an important message to tell others that bullying is not allowed in our school.
School council also worked with Mrs Russell to update and improve the Anti-Bullying Policy.

At Victoria Primary School, we intend to use School Council to create pupils who understand their own learning and support the learning of their peers. Our School Council is led by pupil passions and will allow this to choose the projects that it supports so that children have a sense of responsibility and ownership.
It is imperative for children at Victoria Primary School to begin the next stage of their education knowing that they have the learning skills they need to achieve their aspirations. They have a curiosity of the world around them and a sense of their place in it.
This intended outcome is to create inspired young people who have a responsibility to being the best that they can be personally, but also a moral responsibility to building a better community as they go forward and make choices of their own as young people.

Elementary School Curriculum
Engaging Learning for Young Minds
The early years of education are designed for young children to explore, discover, and learn new things. Elementary school curriculum at Keystone is designed to spark an early love of learning and help students explore new concepts. The Keystone Elementary School Program was developed with diverse learners and individual learning styles in mind.
Online elementary school curriculum powered by Stride K12 can be used for many family and learning situations. Students can enroll in the Keystone Elementary School Program and experience a complete elementary school education in a flexible setting that meets the needs of families. Elementary school curriculum can also be used to supplement a student's traditional or homeschool education.
Courses to Inspire Students in Grades K–5
Elementary school students enrolled in the Keystone Elementary School Program or using individual courses will build a solid foundation in core subject areas. The Keystone Elementary School Program and curriculum has been developed to motivate students to acquire the skills they will need to succeed in middle school, high school and beyond.
Language Arts: Spark an early love of reading and build a strong foundation in writing. As students progress, they'll develop critical reading and writing skills in addition to grammar, spelling, vocabulary and listening skills.
Math: Fundamental skills are built in early grades, while older students combine those skills with critical thinking and problem-solving.
Science: Encouraging exploration and curiosity across earth, life, and physical sciences. Students begin to understand the world around them through interactive lessons and hands-on learning.
Social Studies: Introduce geography, history and diverse cultures early. As students progress, they'll begin to explore economics and civics through historical events and perspectives in American history.
Art: Students will create their own works of art, exploring color and shapes, while also learning about the elements of art by studying paintings, sculptures and architecture in later grades.
Music: Interactive learning through song, dance, and virtual instruments helps students explore music and build foundational skills.
Explore specific elementary school curriculum at each grade level.
Quality Curriculum for Flexible Learning Styles
Explore the elementary school curriculum to see what works best for your family. In every setting, the Keystone elementary school curriculum helps students feed their curiosity through engaging courses.
Every course is flexibly paced, allowing students to move independently at the speed that best suits their needs along with their required Learning Coach, a parent or guardian who is fluent in English. Those who are ready to move on to the next lesson or unit can do so, while those who need just a little more time may take it.
The Keystone Elementary School Program engages students across multiple courses and subjects. Students enrolled full-time take a total of five courses each school year: one each in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies, and a grade level-specific elective course to fulfill the elective option. Learn more about the Keystone Elementary School Program.
Individual Courses can serve as a valuable supplement to families choosing to homeschool, or for students who need extra help in a certain subject or want to be challenged. Individual courses give students a balance of structure and the convenience of learning at their own pace, in their own space.
Consider What's Possible with Keystone

Cisco StackWise-480 technology is built on the highly successful industry-leading StackWise technology, which is a premium stacking architecture. StackWise-480 has a stack bandwidth of 480 Gbps. StackWise-480 uses Cisco IOS Software SSO for providing resiliency within the stack. The stack behaves as a single switching unit that is managed by an "active" switch elected by the member switches.
The active switch automatically elects a standby switch within the stack. The active switch creates and updates all the switching/routing/wireless information and constantly synchronizes that information with the standby switch. If the active switch fails, the standby switch assumes the role of the active switch and continues to the keep the stack operational. Access points continue to remain connected during an active-to-standby switchover.
A working stack can accept new members or delete old ones without service interruption. StackWise-480 creates a highly resilient single unified system of up to nine switches, providing simplified management using a single IP address, single Telnet session, single CLI, auto-version checking, auto-upgrading, auto-configuration, and more. StackWise-480 also enables local switching in Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches.


The Soul is my longest running series. Begun somewhere in 2001 I attempt to document my life as seen through the filter of my memory. Nostalgia, forgetfulness, drunken nights, etc. all impact these experiences and transform them into a truth that lies somewhere closer to the heart of my life than actual cold facts.
Encompassing several different bodies of work but the focus is on a core body that was/is created via oil pastel on paper. These works are the most autobiographical of mine but not necessarily the most truthful in that they are all done from memory and those memories – as they're filtered through the mind – are clouded with nostalgia as details are forgotten by force or time.

Branding & Strategy
Third Space: Data versus the domestic
In the contemporary world, it is not the argument between the historic versus the modern that is important, but rather what is place versus non-place. Just as the political distinction has shifted from the ideological left versus right to the more general and polarizing "open versus closed", architecture should embrace the new distinctions and categories that have been brought along by technological change and globalization. Sure, the old texts on aesthetics are still important and "canonical", but the more pressing matters of the age is the more purely "contemporary" sense of dislocation.
Today, buildings (and building types) live on the spectrum between the polarizing extremes of the domestic and the logistical (infrastructure). The domestic is the realm of the traditional home, where we see the traditional elements of architectural design (that has lasted so long, such as the kitchen, the living room, the bedroom), and the logistical is the realm of non-place, or the spaces between. As human life shifts more and more to the virtual space, individuals increasingly inhabit INFORMATION spaces, or at least the spaces of flow and transition that are very dislocated from any concrete idea or reality of place. Meanwhile, the domestic space has retreated into a primitive state, where nature and natural materials roam free (albeit with Wi-Fi connection), where there is a perception of "Non-information", and perhaps the more egalitarian aesthetic of the "information space" recede in the background, and a kind of sumptuous hedonism takes over - a place with food, pillows, balconies, fireplaces, windows, and nice recliners. The current trend of the Japanese MUJI style, which advocates for simplicity and a return to nature, is emblematic of this worship of /emphasis on the domestic, and it stands out so starkly (and so welcoming) in a digital age. Aureli's illustrative one-point perspective renderings, with its rendition of the platonic frames and geometries and simple finishes, is the academic powerhouse of this new emphasis on the domestic. (as is John Pawson, etc.) Other offices, whose work emphasizes the triumph of technology, scale, and information, in an attempt to capture the contemporary zeitgeist, may be Zaha Hadid Architects or Morphosis, which has predictably turned away from the domestic masses and their non-monumental considerations.
So, in this separation between data space and domestic space, or a polarization between human space and data space, is there such a thing as a middle ground/third space? And if so, what is the primary driver for this "middle ground" or intermediate aesthetic?
The domus or the internet...
What about the basilica?
Questions to Consider:
The Domestic Space and the Data Space both exist independent of environmental locations, in many instances. How can environmental data and environmental perception come together to form this new intermediate understanding?
If 90% of human activity takes place indoors, what does indoors mean?
Activity / Active Programs
There are activities you cannot do at home, and things you cannot do in data spaces. What are those things which are so vital to the formation of society's third spaces? What third spaces have withstood the onslaught of technological progress?
What are the new and real community spaces?
Are there community spaces that are more domestic or more data-driven?

Pandas and Part Three
By Timothy Sandefur
December 28, 2005 15:17 MST
John West is not a lawyer, so it's hard to tell if his criticisms of Kitzmiller are utterly dishonest or just totally ignorant. His last posts have contained a lot of footstamping at the Judge's factual findings, and I'll leave those issues to Pim van Meurs. But in Part 3 of his criticism, West claims that Judge Jones erred by relying on previous editions of Of Pandas And People in determining whether it was a religious book or not.
But what in the world is wrong with this? The Supreme Court has recently reiterated that the most important element of an Establishment Clause case is context, and that historical details are important to understanding that context. See McCreary County v. American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky,</i> 125 S.Ct. 2722, 2734-35, 2735-37 (2005). Justice Souter, whose opinion in McCreary is an unusually good Establishment Clause decision, rejected the argument "that purpose in a case like this one should be inferred, if at all, only from the latest news about the last in a series of governmental actions." Id. at 2736. Instead, he took the "common sense" position, id. at 2737, that a court should consider the historical context of a challenged government action when deciding whether it violates the Establishment Clause, because that context will allow the court to perceive the government's sectarian intent.
And, of course, the facts justify Judge Jones in that expectation. Of Pandas And People began as a creationist tract, and was transformed into an Intelligent Design textbook by simply replacing the word "creation" with "design" and so forth—quite a symbol for the entire ID movement, which is just creationism dressed up in a lab coat. In fact, in one amazing incident (not mentioned by Judge Jones) one unpublished draft of Pandas reflected this change when a typo read, ""Evolutionists think the former is correct, cdesign proponentsists [sic!] accept the latter view."
West is bothered by the fact that Judge Jones denied the book's publishers the opportunity to intervene in the case to, in West's words, "defend [themselves]." But the publishers were not parties to the case, and had no need to "defend" themselves from anything. Their book was only evidence in a trial between two other parties. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24, as any attorney knows, governs whether a non-party can intervene in a case, and that rule entirely justified the court in denying the publisher's motion for intervention. But, again, John West is not an attorney, so I'll explain. Intervention is a process whereby someone who is not a party to a case—not a plaintiff or defendant—can become a party. This is a much bigger step than becoming an amicus, which is what happens when a non-party just has an opinion about a case, or just has some additional information to offer. The difference between an intervenor and an amicus is the interest at stake. An intervenor has some sort of "direct, substantial interest in [the] litigation," Brewer v. Republic Steel Corp., 513 F.2d 1222, 1223 (6th Cir. 1975), while an amicus "give[s] the court the benefit of its expertise," or provides further evidence. Id. at 1225.
Because intervention adds a new party to a case, it complicates things enormously. Intervenors can appeal, they can settle, they can do all sorts of things that make a case much more difficult to manage. This is why the Dover School Board opposed the publishers' motion to intervene as did the Plaintiffs. The Federal Rules give the right to intervene in spite of that kind of opposition only when the intervenor "claims an interest relating to the property or transaction which is the subject of the action" and which the "disposition of the action may as a practical matter impair." Obviously this was not the case here, since the publishers of Pandas in no way stood to lose a property right, or anything like it, as a consequence of the case. They argued that they stood to lose potential profits if because "[a] ruling by this Court finding that intelligent design theory is religion would destroy [their] ability to market [their] textbooks within this district," Motion to Intervene by FTE at 7, but this is not the sort of direct, tangible interest that warrants intervention as of right, particularly since private schools and private individuals are still free to purchase Pandas if they want, and because the publishers failed to provide any evidence to substantiate their claim of potential losses. Order Denying Motion to Intervene of FTE at 11. Judge Jones found that the publishers' asserted interest in the outcome of the case was "an uncertain and purely economic one," id. at 12, and that their "'interests [were] of a general and indefinite character,'" id. at 12 (quoting Harris v. Pernsley, 820 F.2d 592, 601 (3d Cir. 1987)). Thus the publishers had nothing to "defend," and intervention was not warranted.
Moreover, Judge Jones found that the publishers waited five months before filing their motion—not what you'd expect of a group trying to "defend" themselves—and that they filed their motion only a month before discovery was set to close, meaning that to allow intervention would have required changing that deadline and possibly allowing a whole new round of depositions and other discovery. Id. at 8. And there was no reason to believe that the school board would not do just as good a job of defending ID as the publishers of Pandas. Id. at 15-19.
Of course, a judge may also choose to allow intervention anyway, if "an applicant's claim or defense and the main action have a question of law or fact in common," but remember, intervention means that the applicant becomes an actual party—the publisher would become a defendant in the case. That's a big step, since, as I've said, intervention complicates cases a great deal. This is why " if an amicus curiae status adequately protects an applicant's interests, this will be chosen instead of intervention, where the only issues involved are of law, and the applicant would contribute little but possibly complicate the proceedings, or where the applicant has only an attenuated interest in the legal issues, and intervention might significantly complicate the proceedings." 25 Fed. Proc., L. Ed. § 59:382 (2005). It was entirely appropriate to for Judge Jones to deny permissive intervention to the publishers and to grant them amicus curiae status instead. The decision of a judge to keep a case simple and require a party that has only an opinion or evidence to offer to do so through an amicus brief is " the kind of judgment on which the district court's expertise and authority is at its zenith." Daggett v. Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices, 172 F.3d 104, 113 (1st Cir. 1999).
What is "grotesque" here is not Judge Jones' ruling, but John West's ignorant and dishonest characterization of this case. He ought to hesitate before accusing people of "misappl[ying] the relevant legal standards" when he himself has so little understanding of what those legal standards are. Judge Jones was correct to limit the publishers' participation to that of amici, and right to find their rationalizations for their disguised creationist tract to be unconvincing.

How Will You Be Remembered
in: Program Development, Team Management
In the book "First Things First" Steven Covey talks about developing a personal mission statement. He said the best way to develop it would be to imagine you are at your own funeral listening to what everyone is saying about you.
Think about that, would you like what reasonable minded people, those that you have had close contact with would be saying at your funeral today? For many of us coaching youth football, we would draw quite a crowd. One of the things I usually do at the coaching clinics I run is to ask those in attendance to tell me what the name of the first youth football coach they had. About 99% of those that I ask that question to can name the coach rigth off the top of their heads and for many that is a memory that is 20-30 or for me even 40 years ago.
You Will Be Remembered Like It or Not
Just think about it, you will be remembered by all 25 of the kids you coach 40-50-60 years from now. Not only will they remember your name, they will remember your demeanor, how they were treated and what life lessons coach was trying to impart into their fertile young minds. The youth coaching position comes with a bully pulpit and the kids are watching you 100% of the time, like it or not. As they say with great power comes great responsibility, how well are you using that power with the kids in your charge? What would your ex players say about you at your funderal? Would they even be in attendance?
What About The Rest of Us Youth Football Coaches?
If you've coached muliple teams like I have or coached well past when your kids have played, the number of kids you will have affected will number in the hundreds. Where else are you going to be able to influence so many people so deeply for eternity? I started an inner-city program where we had upwards of 400 kids participating each year as well as a rural program that has about 75 kids. Ive personally head coached 17 football teams and 3 baseball teams. We will be expecting quite a crowd at mine, hopefully many moons from now.
Below is a story that ran about a man that is in the same shoes as many of us. Look what they are saying about "coach". What will they be saying about you?
Youth coach and horse owner Daniel Taneyhill Jr. 'adopted whole community'
by Sally York | The Flint Journal
Friday January 23, 2009, 8:48 AM
Daniel Taneyhill Jr.MUNDY TOWNSHIP, Michigan — Through the years, Daniel Taneyhill Jr. was a restaurant manager, businessman and racehorse owner, but the community may remember him best for leading the Lake Fenton Youth Football program.
And for his booming voice, which for eight years announced the plays at Lake Fenton Blue Devils football games.
Taneyhill of Mundy Township died Sunday of an apparent heart attack. He was 50.
"Dan was so enthusiastic about getting the youth football program off the ground for the kids," said Tony Simmons, athletic director at Lake Fenton High School.
"He was a special, special person who was always willing to donate his time and help."
Taneyhill and his wife of 24 years, Rosiland, took over a fading football and cheerleading program for children in the Lake Fenton School District and grew it to six teams and more than 300 students, said Jeff Wolverton, a friend, neighbor and former youth football parent.
The couple's involvement with team members, which included sons Daniel III, Darren and Matthew, extended beyond the playing field.
"You'd go over to their house, and there would be a dozen kids swimming in the pool in back and Dan doing cannonballs," Wolverton said.
"He adopted the whole community," said close family friend Mary Rossmaessler. "He was a father to many boys."
Taneyhill also was a baseball coach, American Youth Soccer Organization coach and leader of a local Wyldlife Christian youth group. He also sponsored several Little League teams.
By all accounts, Taneyhill was an outgoing, friendly man who didn't hesitate to share his opinion on just about any subject, said one of his two younger brothers.
"He was very boisterous," said Tim Taneyhill of Canton, Ohio. "When he'd walk into a room, you knew it."
A tall, stocky man, Daniel Taneyhill also had an imposing physical presence.
"Dan was what some people might consider overweight, but it was just his big heart that made him look that way," said Rossmaessler. "Really, he was skinny."
Hailing from Warren, Ohio, Taneyhill moved to Michigan to become general manager of a Harvest House restaurant, where he met his future wife. Later he opened Taneyhill Productions, which sold janitorial and car care products.
In recent years, Taneyhill fulfilled a childhood dream by purchasing a horse farm near his home and filling it with 36 horses. He raced them mostly in Windsor, Ontario.
On the last night of his life, his horses won three races and came in second in a fourth race in Windsor — an unusual feat for one owner, Tim Taneyhill said.
Daniel Taneyhill returned home at about 1 a.m. and was unloading his horses when he collapsed, his brother said.
"He would want to be remembered as a loving husband, a good father and a positive influence on the kids in the community," Tim Taneyhill said.
In addition to his wife and sons, Daniel Taneyhill leaves his parents, Daniel Taneyhill Sr. and Mary Ann Ring; sisters Faith Yauger and Hope Galbreath; brothers Christopher and Tim Taneyhill; and many nephews and nieces.
The funeral is set for 1 p.m. today at Swartz Funeral Home, 1225 W. Hill Road in Mundy Township.
