Richard Miller shows how to use the Symfony2 PHP framework to make a task list application to create, edit and delete tasks organised in lists.
Symfony2 is a rewrite of the popular Symfony framework. Its power and flexibility enable you to cater for the diverse needs of a range of web applications – and it's still quick to get an application started, thanks to its included tools for rapid development.
Let's get started by downloading and installing Symfony2.1 – the current stable version. Go to the Symfony download page and choose the Download Symfony Standard 2.1.x (.zip) option (where x is the latest minor release). Unzip this into Apache's web directory, and point your browser at http://localhost/Symfony/web/app_dev.php to see the welcome page.
If you want to create a vhost, then point it at the web directory. This is the public directory, and should be the only directory accessible to the web browser on a production site. If you have any errors relating to permission on the cache or log files, then the solution depends on your operating system; you can find the appropriate fix here.
In the web browser, click on the configure link. You'll see a form where you can complete the details of your database connection and choose a name for the database; you can most likely leave the port and path fields blank. On the next page, submit the form to accept the generated secret token. These values have been added to the app/config/parameters.yml file – if you need to amend them later, you can edit this directly.
Symfony2 has plenty of helpful console commands, some of which we're going to use to get the application up and running quickly. To run these, open a command line and change to the root directory of the application.
This will create the bundle in the src directory, you should see a DotNet directory with the TaskListBundle inside it. It will contain directories for Controllers, Tests and Resources such as templates and CSS files. If you look in app/AppKernel.php, you will see the bundle in the registerBundles() method.
We have started with our TaskList and specified that we want a name property, which is a string. This will have created a class in the bundle's Entity directory in a TaskList.php file. If you look in it you will be able to see that the name property has been created as a private property, along with a public getter and setter. An id property has also been created for us.
We also want a Task entity, which has a few more properties. As well as the name, we have a description, a date of when it is due and whether it has been completed or not.
If you look in the bundle's Controller directory, you will see that the command has created a TaskController and a TaskListController. Both are similar: they contain actions that are used to turn the request the browser makes into a response that the application sends back to the browser. In this case we are using annotations again to control the routing to these controllers.
Using the annotation saves having to add those lines to every action, but behind the scenes a response is still being created. You can even avoid specifying the template name if it is a directory that matches your controller name, and filename that matches your action name.
You should also be able to see that forms are created in actions such as editAction, and that these are created using FormType objects. These were also created by the last console commands and are in the bundle's Form directory. These control which of the entities fields appear in, the form and type of form field they are.
Here we are using the entity form type, which will generate a select box populated with the task lists displayed using their name so that the user can choose the list their task belongs to. If you refresh the browser, you will now see a select box to choose the list from. There is still a problem with the HTML5 validation, so we need to say the task is complete.
Templates have also been created in the bundle's Resources/views directory in the Task and TaskList directories. Symfony2 forms have HTML5 client-side validation support; fields are set to be required by default. For now we don't want this: turn it off by adding novalidate to the form element in all the forms in these templates, and then refresh.
to the bottom of all of them. Our templates are now just providing the content of the body block of the main template.
On refresh, things should be looking a bit better. You should also see the Web Debug toolbar appear at the bottom of the page – this provides you with a lot of helpful information while in the dev environment. It wasn't there before, because it needs a body element in the page to hook into.
Here ends part one of this tutorial: the application should now have some basic styling and be easy to navigate. In part two we'll look at adding validation to the forms, and adding email notifications when a task is completed – implemented using the service container and event dispatcher parts of Symfony2.

Study Links Stuttering to Less Blood Flow in Brain
The more regions affected, the more severe the disorder, researchers suggest
FRIDAY, Jan. 6, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Reduced blood flow in a part of the brain that's linked to speech may put people at risk for stuttering, a small study suggests.
There are also signs that the lower the blood flow in regions of the brain tied to speech and language, the more severe the stuttering, the researchers added.
"When other portions of the brain circuit related to speech were also affected according to our blood flow measurements, we saw more severe stuttering in both children and adults," said study first author Dr. Jay Desai. He is a clinical neurologist at Children's Hospital, Los Angeles.
Clues to Why Women Have Higher Odds for Alzheimer's
HIV Lurking in Spinal Fluid Linked to Thinking Problems
Mind-Reading Tech Could Bring 'Synthetic Speech' to Brain-Damaged Patients
Human Ancestors' Diet Led You to Pronounce Your F's and V's
For the study, the investigators used MRI scans to look at the blood flow in the brains of 26 participants with stuttering and 36 participants without the speech disorder.
The researchers found evidence among those who stuttered of reduced blood flow to the Broca's area of the brain, which sits in the frontal lobe. And the study authors linked more severe stuttering to higher levels of abnormal blood flow in a brain region that handles word processing.
"The more severe the stuttering, the less blood flow to this part of the brain," Desai said in a hospital news release.
The study could not prove cause and effect. But, the authors said they believe stuttering is tied to something going wrong in a neural brain "loop" that's devoted to language.
The study was published online recently in the journal Human Brain Mapping.
An estimated 3 million Americans stutter. It occurs most often between the ages of 2 and 6, but stuttering affects people of all ages. Most children outgrow it, but for 25 percent of those affected, stuttering becomes a lifelong disorder, according to the U.S. National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.

Back in June I spotted some filming going on towards the edge of Aldershot on some of the Army land, with green screens and 'G LOC' signs about (wonder which film unit is 'G'?).
Anyway, they cleared off a while back but driving home today past the place a new unit has set up. I missed what the signs say, but the place has a big sheet of blue screen this time and I thought I saw a bunch of people in Army dress this morning where they were setting up lighting. Then again, it's Army land anyway.
Apparently they did some filming for one of the recent Bond films there a few years back. Seems to have become a popular filming spot. It's just a big scrap of unused parade ground basically.
If there's anything interesting going on I'll try and get a photo.
And then going on towards home I go past Pirbright and dotted around the area are some 'P&M LOC' signs for more filming. Looks like there's a film crew bus by the cricket green in Pirbright itself. There's some also by a big house/estate nearby where I know they've done filming before.
Wonder who P&M are though?


Offline assessments (OAs) are any kind of work done outside of Yacapaca, for which you want to record the grades within Yacapaca.
Instant feedback (grade and your comment) to students; they don't have to wait to see you at the next lesson. A long wait for feedback is notoriously demotivating.
Add more data to the Gradebook, so you can see trends and averages more clearly.
Produce more convincing Parents' Reports.
Calibrate your Gradebook so it converts quiz percentages to grades more accurately for your students (this is an automatic feature of OAs).
Name of Activity: you need a name you and the students will both still understand in a year's time.
Grade scheme and year: In most cases this is already set and just needs confirming.
Subject, Syllabus, Topic: Enter these to allocate grades to the relevant topic in Analytics. It only takes a moment, and it doubles the value you get from the exercise. You must either select from all the dropdowns, or none of them.
Date: To see trends in the Gradebook and Parents reports, enter past assessments and be sure to date them accurately.
For each student, select a grade from the dropdown and enter a comment. There's no built-in comment bank because copy and paste is just as easy, and a lot more flexible. Remember to save when finished.
Grades and comments will appear immediately in students' to-do lists, and will be emailed to them as well if we have their email addresses.

How does our relationship change to the natural world, to remote places, when connectivity is assured even if only by means of a passive satellite link? How does our tolerance of the real world adjust when so much of our shared experience, on a day to day basis, takes place in a purpose-designed container that allows us to edit out the problematic bits. How are people's rights affected when they are not conscious producers of information but unwilling generators of data, as digital refugees?
In this new world built of mass-less architecture have we not become trapped by the Net just when we thought we were escaping the ground?
The Tracing Mobility Symposium 2011 promises to tease this question till it tears while pulling at the threads of ownership, imperialism and empiricism.

Ласло Кётелеш (; родился 1 сентября 1984 года в Мако, Венгрия) — венгерский футболист, вратарь.

Клубная карьера

В 2002 году Кётелеш начал карьеру в клубе «Видеотон», за который он отыграл неполный сезон. В 2003 году он переехал в Сербию, где он выступал за «Железник», «Гpaфичap» и «Бежания». В 2005 году Ласло вернулся в Венгрию, где на протяжении четырёх сезонов выступал за «Вац» и «Диошдьёр». В 2009 году он на правах аренды перешёл в бельгийский «Генк». По условиям арендного соглашения клуб мог выкупить трансфер вратаря по окончании сезона. 26 сентября в матче против «Беерсхота» Кётелеш дебютировал в Жупиле лиге.

По окончании сезона «Генк» выкупил трансфер голкипера, но Ласло растерял форму и сезон 2010/2011 провел на лавке. Несмотря на это он стал чемпионом Бельгии, завоевав свой первый трофей. В следующем сезоне Кётелеш завоевал место основного вратаря и стал кумиром болельщиков. Фаны «Генка» прозвали его вторым Иштваном Брокхайзером, венгерским голкипером который выступал за команду на рубеже веков.

23 августа 2011 года Кётелеш сыграл важную роль в отборочном матче Лиги чемпионов сезона 2011/12 против «Маккаби» из Хайфы, отразив удары Владимира Двалишвили и Эяля Голаса в серии послематчевых пенальти. 13 сентября в матче против «Валенсии» Ласло дебютировал в Лиге чемпионов. В этом поединке он сумел оставить свои ворота в неприкосновенности. 1 ноября во встрече против лондонского «Челси» Кётелеш взял одиннадцатиметровый от Давида Луиза. В том же году Ласло стал обладателем Суперкубка Бельгии, а в следующем сезоне завоевал национальный кубок.

Летом 2016 года Ласло на правах аренды перешёл в «Васланд-Беверен». 9 сентября в матче против «Брюгге» он дебютировал за новую команду. После окончания аренды Кётелеш вернулся в «Генк».

Международная карьера
В 2011 году Кётелеш несколько раз вызывался в сборную Венгрии, но дебютировать за национальную команду так и не смог.

Достижения
Командные

 «Генк»
  Чемпионат Бельгии по футболу — 2010/2011

PHOENIX, ARIZONA (Reuters) - Zach Randolph scored a season-high 32 points and collected nine rebounds as the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Phoenix Suns 97-91 on Monday to seal the eighth and final play-off spot in the National Basketball Association Western Conference. The win also eliminated the Suns from play-off contention.
In a tight game down the stretch, point guard Mike Conley put Memphis ahead to stay at 93-91 on a three-pointer with 1min 8sec left. The Suns failed to score another point to slump to defeat.
Markieff Morris scored 21 points off the bench for the Suns (47-34), who will miss the play-offs for a fourth straight season.
The Grizzlies (49-32), tied with Dallas (49-32), play the Mavericks in the season finale on Wednesday with the winner claiming the No. 7 seed in the West.


Exchange-traded funds have commoditized broad allocation strategies. As exchange-traded funds require only a modest amount of overhead and competition intensifies, fund fees plunge with each passing day.
Focus Morningstar Large Cap Index ETF (FLG) – This FocusShares fund based on the Morningstar Large Cap Index tracks 265 total holdings, but market cap weighting means it has as much as 25% of the fund invested in the largest 10 companies in the index. All large-cap and all US-based, you won't find much difference in this fund compared to other market-cap weighted funds based on the S&P500 index. However, with fewer holdings, the fund has far more exposure to the largest firms than does the broader S&P500 index. The expense ratio is .05%.
Focus Morningstar US Market Index ETF (FMU) – Market capitalization weighted, this fund seeks to cover 97% of the large caps available on the market. The fund trades with a low .05% annual expense to investors, but low volume means that investors have not yet taken to low fee funds exclusively. The underlying index maintains exposure to 1674 holdings, an impressive diversification level given the low cost of ownership. The underlying index is a product of Morningstar, but the fund is managed by the smaller ETF issuer FocusShares.
S&P 500 ETF (VOO) – A Vanguard exchange-traded fund, and a popular choice among so-called Bogleheads, the VOO ETF tracks the S&P500 index as designed. Market cap weighted to track the 500 stocks in the S&P500 index, Vanguard charges only .06% per year to manage the fund. Economies of scale earned through Vanguard's extensive mutual fund business and patented fund structure ensures that Vanguard will always be one of the companies with the lowest fees.
U.S. Broad Market ETF (SCHB) – Charles Schwab is new to exchange-traded funds fearing that the fund structure would eat into its higher-end fund and brokerage model. The company launched one of its first funds, the SCHB ETF, based on the Dow Jones U.S. Broad Stock Market Total Return Index, a float adjusted and market cap weighted index. SCHB costs investors a meager .06% per year to own in their portfolios. The fund holds positions in 1575 different companies.
Total Stock Market Index ETF (VTI) – Another Vanguard finds its way to the lowest cost ETF list with an annual expense of .07% per year. The Total Stock Market is just as it sounds – the index tracks at least 99.5% of all stocks on the market by market cap. The fund goes so far to dig into smaller stocks, including those traded on the smaller American Stock Exchange platform as well as equities traded over-the-counter. The VTI ETF holds a whopping 3326 securities.
The trend is quite clear; the lowest cost ETFs are almost always centered around massive, diversified portfolios invested in companies on domestic exchanges. Investors looking for long-term retirement planning options would do quite well investing in any of the above lowest cost ETFs to displace their stock holdings. In fact, here are several ways to trade ETFs for free or even trade free above and beyond just ETFs for opening an IRA account.
Investors seeking balance with bond and fixed-income ETFs will have to pay a premium. PIMCO's 1-3 Year US Treasury Index Fund ETF (TUZ) is the least expensive bond fund at .09% per year. The second lowest cost bond fund is the SCHZ ETF, a Charles Schwab tracking the aggregate investment grade bond universe with a price tag of .10% per year. Bond funds seem to be most populous in the .15% fee range, where many different, specialized bond funds begin to find a competitive balance between lower costs and less liquid fixed-income markets. Investors seeking high yield ETFs will tend to pay more due to lower volumes and higher bid-ask spreads.
At any rate, the reality is quite clear: any investor can find a cheaper mutual fund option with ETFs.
To save money when purchasing one of these ETFs it makes sense to use a discount broker like TradeKing. TradeKing not only costs $4.95 per trade, but offers various promotions to save money when signing up.
Disclosure: No positions in any ETFs covered in this article.

Brain Stimulation May Buffer Feelings of Social Pain
Biological/Neuroscience
Personality/Social
Accumulating evidence suggests that certain brain areas involved in processing physical pain may also underlie feelings of social pain.
But can altering brain activity in these areas actually change how people experience social pain?
Paolo Riva of the University of Milano-Bicocca and colleagues wanted to examine whether there might be a causal relationship between activity in the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (rVLPFC) – known to be involved in the regulation of physical pain and negative expressions of emotion – and experiences of social pain. Their findings are published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
The researchers recruited 79 university students to take part in a "mental visualization exercise." They used a constant-current regulator to stimulate the rVLPFC – all of the participants were told that they would receive stimulation for 15 minutes but only half of the participants actually received the current.
Five minutes before the end of 15-minute stimulation session, the students played a virtual ball-tossing game called Cyberball. The students were told that they were playing with two other players and that the three of them would take turns throwing the ball to each other. In actuality, a computer program controlled the game. Some of the participants were excluded, receiving the ball only twice and then never again, while other participants received the ball about a third of the time.
The students then reported the percentage of throws they thought they received and rated the unpleasantness of the pain they felt and the hurt feelings they experienced during the game.
Riva and colleagues found that, as predicted, the participants who were socially excluded reported that they received less often than participants who were included. Moreover, they rated the game as more unpleasant and reported more hurt feelings. Notably, these latter effects were reduced for participants who received stimulation over the rVLPFC.
Specifically, socially excluded participants who received the actual current experienced less unpleasantness and less hurt feelings than the participants who believed they were receiving the current. In both cases participants knew they were being excluded, but they appeared relatively unbothered by it if they received stimulation.
"Few studies have examined how the pain of social exclusion can be alleviated. Our results offer the first evidence that stimulation over the rVLPFC reduces the painful effects of social exclusion," Riva and colleagues conclude.
Co-authors on the study include Leonor J. Romero Lauro of the University of Milano-Bicocca, C. Nathan DeWall of the University of Kentucky, and Brad J. Bushman of the Ohio State University and VU University Amsterdam.

The Uplift of Strangers: More Reasons to Dose Up on "Vitamin S"
Research points to three broad reasons why people need social contact with strangers, or"Vitamin S."


Patrick Honohan has written an article for the FT: you can read it here.
Holohan is not one of the bad guys.
1.25% of GNP had evaporated.
2.We had overbuilt by 350,000 empties which is probably enough for 15 years of national demand including holiday homes.
3.Losses on construction loans, private syndicate muck, commercial and residential mortgages and of course the developers had probably hit €100bn at least and all to be funded by an economy that was 25% smaller.
Holohans article is a good start in that context, his main job is to preserve confidence in the international funding of the stupendous sovereign issuance that the government envisages over the next 2-3 years.
He should not be doing this at all. Anglo and INBS should be in the hands of the Liquidators and the sovereign issuance should have been a lot smaller and more manageable.
He should be explaining why he was simply tolerating the winding up these two chancers.
Very Timely, and measured, from The Governor, and from his position as Governor of The Central Bank of Ireland.
I suppose a few external observers will wonder at the "losses reflect a runaway credit binge led by [Anglo-Irish] (whose balance sheet grew at an average annual rate of 36 per cent for the 10 years to 2007)." & why this did not raise a few flags. Not the thread for personal opinions on this decade here.
My personal apologies to the English nation for one of our own bringing the term 'Anglo' into such disrepute.
I know what he's trying to say, but saying bailing out Anglo is "affordable" is fairly shocking.
I started reading this article yesterday, got some ways down, thought to myself this is rubbish (sorry Mr. Honohan) and skipped off to the editorial page. It is only now I realise who wrote it. What can I say? That you are governor and I am only a humble citizen. Well, be that as it may I am still the citizen who must pay for the frauds and ergo must be entitled to my opinion.
The guarantee has been a disaster. It cannot be spun in any other way. It prevents the pain from going past the level of tax payer and ordinary share holder to bond holders. Anglo, "our bank" is so shrouded in secrecy that we are not allowed to have access to reports that keep telling us, that phrase again, "keeping it open is the only game in town". No, No, No. It is our bank, it is our money and we must have access to all documents that we are paying for. All their figures must be put openly on the table for inspection. Who are the Anglo bondholders?
New Ireland owned by BoI and unbelievably too "major clients" of AIB Investment Managers.
There is a huge conflict of interest here. How, can Matthew Elderfiled and Patrick Honohan countenance this conflict of interest? The same people and groups are on both sides of the fence here. As beneficiaries of NAMA they now own the 51% controlling share holding in National Asset Management Agency Investment Ltd while at the same time receiving the invaluable largess (scarce) from "NAMA" . Wait until the rating agencies get wind of all this. Will we be able to find out what decisions are being made, by whom with links to whom inside the SPV? Have we learned nothing?
Ireland need fear no debt trap? Or will it be worse here? Plans for the banks need not include borrowing. They are far too big for the real economy, stripped of FIRE and corruption.
Small is effective. What was once affordable is now exorbitant. Obviously, PH nexpects recovery around the corner.
Notwithstanding the author's professional credentials and personal probity, the purpose of the article is to persuade the capital markets that Ireland will never default on it sovereign debt. No nay never.
'Affordability' in this context can only mean mean that we are again preparing to'sacrifice a generation, to preserve the political status quo. TINA is the message. Was it Joyce who said that Ireland is the sow whcih eats its young ?
It's noteworthy that Honahan mentions RBS and Lloyds being run as commercial enterprises. The UK papers spend inches every week lambasting Darling and Brown over RBS and Lloyds (and that's even after it looks like they might make a modest profit on Lloyds).
Isn't it time the Govt invite in KKR, LoneStar, Blackstone, Cinven, Santander, and the rest of the vultures to look at the banks' assets. Start with the smallest, work way up to the largest. Put the banks/ building societies into these cut-throats' hands and we'll have a truly commercial financial sector.
And if none of them want to buy a single Irish bank/ building society, even for a €1, (sic, price of most Irish owned assets these days: e.g. The UK Indo). Then we'd know that the 31st December 2009 balance sheets were a fiction, and there would be more writedowns and bail-outs on the way.
Better we know than not know, and the sooner the better.
I'll even pay for Stephen Schwarzman's plane ticket, just for the pleasure of seeing the fear of God in the bankers' faces.
Moody's has wrote a 5-page comment on Irish banks and the sovereign… the tone is favourable, if guarded.
The news is seen as positive for banks… no surprise here.
The agency opines, "The aim of the NAMA project is to renew the credit supply to viable businesses"…. And even more remarkably, "the Irish government has decisively cut expenditures and increased revenues".
The article is convincing. Hopefully it will help bring fresh private equity into our banks.
You are hoping "it will bring fresh private equity into our banks" so are many of us, but is that really likely? The FT editorial commentary on the same paper yesterday, certainly did not find it very convincing and cut to the chase.
They highlighted crucial flaws in NAMA. The Levy which still overhangs Irish banks and any potential investors for years to come. Why would investors put money into Irish banks, when all they have to do, is wait for the unfolding sovereign debt crisis and they will get far higher returns?
Their second point was a more general point, the abject failure of NAMA to share losses with bond holders putting the tax payer on the hook for more and more debt they simply cannot afford.
Trouble is that the sovereigns guarantee was always more aspirational than real.
Thanks for the link, but the 64 dollar question is what is the rool-over figure for Irish sovereign debt as opposed to UK debt?
Least anyone has forgotten Nama has to roll over bonds annually. Which creates a huge exposure.
'The agency (Moody) opines, "The aim of the NAMA project is to renew the credit supply to viable businesses"….
Irish assets, including labour, could again become 'attractive', but the political and industrial relations climate is the x in the equation. It is notable that conservative as well as social democratic parties have opposed NAMA.
Moody's have just shown us why they triple "A" rated the most toxic of securities and derivatives in America leading many people to incinerate their savings and causing excruciating pain for all and sundry. Court cases still pending no doubt.
They are a shameless lot, and there 'analysis' is seriously flawed. It amounts to this, if the Irish tax payer is on the hook for everything then this must be good for our clients ergo the country. What a joke. On that logic we swill soon have our 'AAA' rating back as we pile on even more debt.
It's an astonishing set of statements. paul quigley has already started on the first. Mind you, that is not the stated aim of NAMA, rather it is to put a floor under asset prices.
Expenditures that were cut, eh, some public service pay, have just been agreed back up. Deferring future expenditure is not the same as cutting, particularly not in a deflationary environment.
Increased revenues? This is the most laughable. Revenues are projected to fall again this year despite the state taking an increased proportion of GNP in taxation. The state is sucking the life out of the economy.
It is doing this to prop up the banks.
The choice was always "the banks or the economy". The choice has been made.
'Expenditures that were cut, eh, some public service pay, have just been agreed back up. Deferring future expenditure is not the same as cutting, particularly not in a deflationary environment.
I am not privy to what happened in the recent talks, but it seems likely that there were a number of factors at work.
First, there were pragmatic organisational and political factors. Industrial action was tending to undermine the already limited powers of public sector managers, and was probably strengthening the hand of local shop stewards. Escalation could lead to a fall of the government with FF/Green wipeout, or to a churning of trade union leadership. Hang together or hang separately.
Secondly, the management side was also presented with a reasoned economic argument around the deflationary impact of repeated public sector pay cuts. The knock on effect in the private sector was probably highlighted, with predictably sobering results. Many Irish families have a foot in both camps.
In any case, the wheels are, for better or worse, already starting to come off the deal. It is hard to see a New Dawn in the public sector, while responsibility for the bust is concealed. The Taoiseach's personal position is untenable in the medium term.
Insofar as that is the case, there is a time honoured mechanism here. It's called tax evasion, which we deplore formally, but tend to regard as a venial sin. That's the colonial legacy. Sure, it's coming off a broad back.
Communicating clearly with the citizens ought to be Mr Honohan's first priority. He is a highly qualified economist, and not a bishop. Insofar as he asserts that NAMA is 'affordable', the onus is surely on him to give his reasons.
Governor Honohan announces the banks will no longer have to depend on State guarantees, when will this be the case? No announcement for repeal of the guarantee has been made by the government.
Is this the 1st official announcement that Anglo is effectively being wound down anyway?
I note Irish uncompetitiveness was not listed as one of the causes of the economy's problems but is suggested as a solution.

City Of Derry Gain Community Support For Unique Initiative
An exciting chapter in the life of City of Derry RFC emerged this month when the club officially announced community support for their unique initiative that uses rugby as a uniting force in the city.
City of Derry uses buses to ferry over 100 boys from the Protestant and Catholic areas of the city to train and play together in a neutral environment. The club has also embraced Ladies rugby and with over 60 girls training for the last five months, they are now fielding adult and Under-18 teams in the Ulster and All-Ireland Leagues.
The Mini rugby section in the club is also vibrant with 120 boys availing of coaching every Saturday morning. City of Derry RFC sees their magnificent facilities as a shared space in the community and has ladies and mens' Gaelic football clubs, soccer clubs and other social groupings using the club every week.
The local community has copper fastened this initiative for the next three years by giving financial support. Da Vinci's Hotel, Derry, a local-owned and operated business, has come in as the club's new main sponsor.
The other sponsors of the project are Fleming Doors from St Johnston in Donegal, owned by James Fleming, a former City of Derry Player. Desmond Motors and Seamus Mallon have been friends of City of Derry for many years and are once again supporting the club.
McDonalds, through local representative David Walker, and Alpha Environmental, through club chairman Alan McClure, are also supporting this worthy project.
O'Neill's Sports are once again generously sponsoring City of Derry and have designed new sports and leisurewear to accompany their appointment as sole kit suppliers to the AIB League Division Three club.
Speaking at the recent announcement of the club's community support, chief executive of the Garvin O'Doherty Group, Garvin O'Doherty said; "Da Vinci's Hotel are very proud to be associated with City of Derry RFC. We have followed the success of the club over the years and for a long time now we have admired the work that the club carries out across community divides.
"We are delighted to be in a position to get involved on a more meaningful level with the club and to help in any way we can."
City of Derry RFC President Robbie Dunn added: "We would like to take this opportunity to thank Da Vinci's Hotel, Fleming Doors, O'Neill's Sports, McDonalds, Desmond Motors and Alpha Environmental for their generous sponsorship of the club.
"We would also like to thank the other numerous sponsors and individuals who have also contributed to make all these wonderful initiatives happen within our club. This is the dawn of a new era for City of Derry RFC and we look forward to a fruitful and successful working partnership with all our sponsors."
City of Derry recently announced the appointment of a new coaching team, headed by Neil Stewart, a former player with the club. With their new coaches in position and following recent victories over Ballymena, Ards and Banbridge in the Ulster League, interest and support for the club has never been higher and a successful AIB League campaign is anticipated.

Interview with Executive Director, Coastal Studies For Girls
at : Sunday, March 29, 2015
Photo courtesy of Coastal Studies For Girls
At Coastal Studies For Girls (CSG), teens have the opportunity to reinvent themselves as they step away from traditional academic studies and enter a world that is unique - full of discovery and empowerment. They become re-inspired, rejuvenated and renewed.
Marine science alone, seems fitting for the trailblazer who longs for adventure, but the programs at CSG offer so much more. The students are surrounded by nature, a strong sense of community and they develop connections with the small circle of students that attend each semester. Girls become empowered and enriched by an environmentally conscious lifestyle. It is a program that offers more than a STEM curriculum but provides a haven for starved future innovators.
Women For Action: Pam tell me about you and what led to establishing Coastal Studies For Girls?
Pam Erickson: Coastal Studies for Girls was a dream of mine for over ten years before becoming a reality. It has been the work of many hearts, hands, minds and souls in the most powerful, collective, passionate effort I've ever been fortunate enough to be involved in.
What led to the establishment of CSG was twofold. The first is my own feeling of limitation as a young girl. I grew up in a small, rural, conservative, Lutheran, straight, white, linear, male and under-resourced part of Northern Wisconsin in the late 1960's and 70's. While my Mother is still the strongest woman I know, her path (and my early path) were heavily dominated and controlled by the men in our family and society's expectations of women. A voice in my gut told me there was more out there, but it did not come easily. My work of creating CSG is to help young women find out – much earlier than I did – that they are capable of anything!
Secondly, in my career (after I left Wisconsin and moved East), I worked with many girls in middle school and high school who wanted more. CSG was a response to their voices of capability, creativity, intelligence and passion.
Women For Action: What was your initial objective for CSG's program and do you think you've reached that?
Pam Erickson: My initial objective for CSG was to help young women discover themselves. To be another force in their life who encouraged them to listen to themselves, to help them FIND and USE their voice and to DISCOVER that they have a choice. Do I think we've reached that? Absolutely. 140 "Triumphant Girls" (what we call our graduates) are now out in the world, Semester #11 is with us now, and we're beginning the 6th year of this work. A new chapter is on the horizon for CSG; we are the only science and leadership semester school for girls in the United States. And yet we're far from done! We've only just begun. We need to explore how to expand and reach more girls. Our ultimate goal is that the school will house 32 girls, we will basically be doubling in size.
Women For Action: In CSG's bio, it stated that the program is for girls in their 10th grade year. Why 10th grade?
Pam Erickson: Tenth grade was an intentional choice because of the pivotal place girls are in during their sophomore year of high school. They are no longer freshmen, they are not caught up in the whirlwind of all that comes with being a junior and haven't "moved on" as many seniors do. They're alive, curious, open and willing. The intention is to plant some seeds so that the choices they make as high school Juniors and Seniors regarding course work, college, career, and life thereafter, has been positively influenced by their four-month immersion on the Maine coast.
Women For Action: Is there a criterion for acceptance? If so, what are you looking for when you are adopting new girls into the program?
Pam Erickson: Our criteria include thoughtful essay responses to a series of questions, a transcript (their grades don't need to be 4.0, but the program is academically rigorous so we want to do our best to ensure that girls are successful and can keep up, so decent grades are important). We also require an academic recommendation, a parent recommendation and a character recommendation from a coach or other mentor in their life. Many girls also visit the school, though at this point an in-person visit isn't required, but sometimes recommended. Girls who are open, curious, and willing are successful here!
Women For Action: How many girls are accepted into CSG's program a year?
Pam Erickson: At this point we only have space for 15 girls a semester, 30 per year. We're also launching summer programs for middle schools girls in science and leadership, as well as the Educator's Workshops and a Women's Coastal Retreat (adults are hungry for what we are offering as well!).
Women For Action: Why do you think it's necessary for CSG to maintain an all-girls school program versus it being coed, yet adopting a system to ensure girls have fair entry too?
Pam Erickson: There are a dozen of other really great semester school options for co-ed groups. All of us are part of The Semester School Network. Various schools are scattered around the country and all have a powerful presence in a different geographic location. We share the passion for experiential education, but each of us has a focus on a particular area beyond that. Given the status of girls and women as it relates to STEM, equal pay, visibility in politics, corporate and world leadership, it is obvious why a school with a focus on girls exists! When we educate girls, the world benefits.
Women For Action: What sort of success rate does CSG have?
Pam Erickson: Our success rate takes on many different forms. Girls who graduate from here take higher level high school courses, apply for more summer programs, receive more scholarships, & internships, they volunteer, they apply for college, and they make a difference in the world. They are more confident and more capable in ANY discipline they choose.
Women For Action: Tell me about your most successful student/students?
Pam Erickson: Our most successful students take the lessons we've shared and the seeds we've planted and use them in all aspects of their lives. We have alum who start high school clubs or programs, those who win national essay contests in Ocean Awareness, those who present at National and International Marine Science Events, those who receive scholarships to top colleges, those who travel the world or make a difference at home. We're INCREDIBLY proud of our alumnae!
"We're unique because we're the only semester school in the United States doing this work with girls."
Women For Action: What makes CSG unique is that it is "residential semester science school in the country that offers a single-gender setting". Why do you think your program is more efficient than others?
Pam Erickson: We're unique because we're the only semester school in the United States doing this work with girls. We immerse our students in 4 months of intense living. They emerge with a better understanding of themselves. They press "pause" at an absolutely critical time in their lives. Seventy percent are from public schools and 30% are from independent schools. We've served 21+ states and 2 countries. Girls sit in a closing circle at the end of the day with someone from Queens, rural Maine, Dallas, Hawaii, Colorado, Rhode Island and Minnesota. They work their hearts, their minds, their bodies and their souls. They live in community and they give back through service. They start the day with a morning solo on the shore of the ocean to get grounded and set their intention for the day, they eat locally sourced foods and have limits on sugar and technology. They engage in discussion and work through interpersonal challenges. They speak publicly at a Coffeehouse, they do real marine research, make public presentations and they pull it all together at the end of their semester with a "Personal Manifesto." They live under the Cornerstones of 1) Intention 2) Solitude and Reflection, 3) Community, 4) Challenge, 5) Action, 6) Lifelong Learning and 7) Gratitude.
Women For Action: Do you feel there should be more schools like CSG? Why or why not?
Pam Erickson: Absolutely! This is how education should be. This work makes a lasting difference. Rather than our focus on X number of students, CSG takes this model and turns it 180 degrees with a focus on intensity, immersion and depth. The power is in digging in, and digging deep!
Women For Action: Which do you think is the most instrumental part of the program at CSG?
Pam Erickson: Which part is the most instrumental? The blend of marine science and leadership, because we learn the hard skills and the soft ones. We don't just teach facts but we explore, we feel and we help girls to fill their bag of leadership tools and skills to apply in many different disciplines. The girls live together in the "Little Yellow Farmhouse" and they understand what it means to be a steward of self, others and the world. And we don't stop connecting with them once they graduate. Our alumnae network is vibrant and active! Girls realize they're part of a greater community once their semester is over. They will always be "Triumphant Girls!"
Women For Action: What sort of feedback have you been receiving from parents?
Pam Erickson: Parents are very happy with having loaned us their precious cargo for 4 months. After our 10 day "communication and technology moratorium" at the beginning of each semester (when girls focus solely on themselves and their community before contacting home) then parents can call or Skype to peek in on CSG life. They are invited to mid semester presentations called "Family and Friends Day" and they are invited to a number of other public events as well. We also do a forum with them at the end of the semester to help them transition their daughter back into school and life. Our parents are amazing people, incredibly supportive, and want what is best for their daughters. To sum it up, a recent parent said, "We sent you a sparrow and you sent us back an eagle."
Women For Action: How does Coastal Study For Girls deal with diversity?
Pam Erickson: We're pleased to report that our socioeconomic, ethnic and geographic diversity has exceeded even our own expectations! We work with girls from Los Angeles, Northern Wisconsin, Brooklyn, coastal Maine, and with girls from home schooled, public, charter and independent schools. We've offered significant scholarship support in our early years to launch the school and tuition has spanned the spectrum.
Women For Action: Pam, most women and girls have dealt with some sort of girl on girl violence and/or bullying during their school years. How does CSG deal with peer engagement and promote healthy girl to girl relationships which ultimately enhances women and girl's empowerment?
Pam Erickson: We focus a significant amount of time on this! Just this last Friday night we all watched Mean Girls together, which serves as a conversation starter in our Leadership course. Our leadership focus is intentional, and we have created a course solely on that! Not many schools actually dedicate time to this topic, the most critical of all. We do Council, we do sessions on positive psychology and effective communication, we learn how to give and receive feedback, we do closing circle each night, we have "leaders of the day," we snowshoe, canoe, kayak and backpack, we camp and we do a 5k and a Yoga Health and Wellness Retreat, along with weekly Yoga in our Yurt. We eat healthy, we clean up our dorm space together, we give back to the community (examples are a nearby homeless shelter, a local state park, or the Freeport Historical Society or Community Center). And we have a powerful presence in our Residential Life Team who are young women (college graduates) that live in the farmhouse alongside the students. The girls are surrounded by positive role models around every corner. And so it's not one single thing that builds community, but the convergence of ALL of these things. The girls work on a "Community Agreement" in their first week here and present that to the entire school. They check in regularly about HOW they are treating one another. It's in our culture. We work TOGETHER. And we don't accept anything less.
Women For Action: What sort of advice would you lend to a girl reading this interview who thinks all science is boring?
Pam Erickson: Science is about exploring and expanding! If someone finds it boring or limiting, it's quite likely because their previous experience was in a classroom with 4 walls or from a text book. At CSG, science is about discovering who you are through the world around you. It's about caring for our oceans and being a steward of the Earth. It's about getting muddy or listening to someone talk about their life journey as a woman and a scientist, it's about engaging with yourself through what is around you. To make a positive difference in the world.
Immersed in a powerful combination of science and leadership education, CSG inspires girls and women to create joyful lives, vibrant communities and a more connected world!


It's become an annual tradition. SeaShare pools generous seafood donations from seafood industry donors, and the US Coast Guard Air Station in Kodiak loads up the palettes of fish for delivery to Kotzebue and Nome. This year we worked with Ocean Beauty Seafoods and North Pacific Seafoods to send a combined 17,000 pounds of frozen salmon and halibut up north on August 30th. That's 68,000 servings to be distributed to villages where access to seafood is limited, and a changing climate is making some traditional foods scarce.
Thank you, Ocean Beauty, North Pacific, and US Coast Guard!

India: Reporter brutally stabbed to death near Chennai
G. Moses, a reporter for Tamilian TV, has been hacked to death in the western suburb of Kundrathru, Tamil Nadu, allegedly for his coverage of illegal land grabbing in the area. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) condemns the journalist's brutal attack and is concerned for the safety of media workers in the region.
Authorities stated that Moses, aged 26, was attacked by multiple men with knives nearby to his house, after being called outside via mobile. He attempted to run back to safety but was attacked a second time. His assailants fled the scene before Moses' father and neighbour emerged to investigate his cries. The journalist was declared dead soon after at Chromepet Government Hospital.
His father, Gnanaraj Jesudasan, who is also a reporter for daily Tamil publication Malai Tamizhagam, was under the impression he was meeting with friends. He has since filed a First Information Report (FIR) stating that Moses was called out his home by Manoj Selvan at 10:45pm, a man known to the family. The FIR names Selvam and three others – Venkatesan Sekar, Vignesh Tirumalai and Navamani Duraiswamy – who have all been detained and charged with murder.
The journalist was reportedly attacked for his exposing of the illicit deals of land mafia in the areas around his village on the outskirts of Chennai city, Naduveeranpattu Pudhunallur, where real estate is a highly profitable and growing business. Police sources state a group of residents had earlier demolished several temporary structures erected on Poromboke land, an area that does not fall under a list of revenue records and therefore has no owner. The villagers had also reported the incident to police but were hesitant to initiate legal action due to the powerful political backing of the land grabbers. However, Jesudasan asserted that Moses was falsely accused of these reports, and had not instigated the retaliation and removal of stones used to mark plots by local landowners.
Moses is the fourth Indian journalist to be assassinated in 2020. The nation has a grim history of violence against media workers and was recently profiled in IFJ's International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists campaign, calling for urgent action to address the restriction of press freedom and rampant circumvention of justice in India.
IFJ General Secretary Anthony Bellanger said:"This violent and unprovoked attack is a dire representation of the state of press freedom in India. We extend our condolences to Moses's family and colleagues and call on authorities to conduct a swift and thorough investigation into the journalist's murder to ensure the perpetrators do not evade justice."

Kieślowski's Muse
By Peter Cowie
This essay was originally published in the booklet accompanying the 2006 DVD release of The Double Life of Véronique.
At the opening ceremony of the 1996 Cannes Film Festival, actress Irène Jacob was asked to pay tribute to Krzysztof Kieślowski, who had died just two months earlier. Her eyes brimming with tears, she stood brave and vulnerable on the huge stage, extraordinarily beautiful in a white dress, and spoke of her mentor with a wistful eloquence. They had made just two feature films together. Had Kieślowski survived, they might have made a dozen by now. But the great partnerships in film history rarely last long. They burn with the ferocity and often blinding incandescence of a comet. Then each partner veers or drifts apart from the other—Lillian Gish from D. W. Griffith, Marlene Dietrich from Josef von Sternberg, Monica Vitti from Michelangelo Antonioni . . .
Jacob served as muse to Kieślowski even as she was his Galatea. In The Double Life of Véronique (1991), she acts with the flawless candor born of total confidence in her director: her look transcends the words she utters. She confides in the camera and, by extension, in us, her audience. Kieślowski's cinema is one of intimacy. The Pole embraces the thoughts of his characters more than their actions. Weronika/Véronique may be enveloped by the sights and sounds of an everyday reality, but the allusive nature of her glance or gaze seems as beguiling as the hieratic gestures of the marionette operated by Philippe Volter's Alexandre. Her response to the abundance of symbols strewn throughout the film reminds one of Bibi Andersson's performance in Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, at a time when she too worked in intimate harmony with her auteur.
In Jacob, Kieślowski found an actress who could communicate her thoughts through tiny bits of business—the pensive twisting of a shoelace, a private laugh as she reads a fairy tale, the extra blink of an eye as she tells her father of a dream or listens to a tape. During her first moments on-screen, Jacob sings a chorale by Zbigniew Preisner of such celestial magic that the very rain drenching the other singers descends like some inebriating force, and so, cleansed, she clings to the closing note with exultation.
The Double Life of Véronique pivots on a series of opposing impulses that Jacob must somehow convey with only a smattering of dialogue. For example, in the Polish sequences, she is on the one hand the picture of innocence, in her long skirt, white blouse, flat shoes, and traditional hairdo; on the other, she dwells without difficulty in a carnal state, making love or wandering through her apartment in her underwear. She must also confront the constant oscillation between the forces of life and death. Thus she clutches her heart in agony on a public bench, only to see an incongruous man calmly flash his penis at her as he strolls past. When she dies in Kraków, Kieślowski switches from a shot of her "spirit" staring up at mourners tossing earth onto the casket to the French Véronique having sex with her boyfriend. Jacob conveys the subtle distinction between her two personalities with nuanced looks and contrasting demeanors. The Kraków Weronika boasts a provincial self-confidence, whereas the French Véronique appears more sophisticated, more poised in a cosmopolitan sense. In both characters, however, a contained tenderness and susceptibility gives rise to inklings of mortality and of something beyond merely corporeal experience.
Jacob does not just identify with her twin roles in this film, she radiates all manner of intimations. Her eyes can grow dark with perplexity or widen with pristine apprehension. As she watches the marionette performance offering a metaphor for her double's past in Poland (a dancer crippled and then reborn like a butterfly from its chrysalis), the actress is surrounded by children, and she herself, by some mysterious visual alchemy, also becomes a child entranced.
Juliette Binoche achieves a similar intensity in Kieślowski's Blue (1993), but Binoche's art remains more aloof, more calculating than Jacob's. She observes her tragic predicament as if through a pane of glass, and her emotional response is tinged with a chill that's accentuated by the predominant chromatic motif of blue.
Some of the great Kunstlerpaar have been contemporaries—for example, Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina, Federico Fellini and Giulietta Masina, and Kurt Weill and Lotte Lenya. The relationship between Jacob and Kieślowski, by contrast, drew its strength from the difference in age between them. Like Bergman with Liv Ullmann or Claude Chabrol with Isabelle Huppert, Kieślowski proved a father figure to an actress who had accomplished little, apart from her demure little role in Au revoir les enfants. In The Double Life of Véronique, Weronika's father is first glimpsed from behind, in another room, evoking the image of Kieślowski himself. A similar shot exists in Red (1994), when Jacob steps softly into the home of Jean-Louis Trintignant as he sits, face averted, listening to the radio. In both instances, the man is her mentor, her spiritual papa.
The particular distinction of Jacob's performances for Kieślowski is that she is on-screen virtually all the time. This subjective texture means that she must react to the words of others even more than speaking herself. As she tells the puppeteer, "I always sense what I should do." Trusting her instincts, Véronique will remain cinema's quintessential romantic figure, and the apotheosis of Irène Jacob's talent as an actress.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — The Tony Awards kicked off Sunday night with Helen Mirren winning for a familiar role and the songwriters of "Fun Home" making history — but during a commercial break.
Mirren won her first Tony for playing a sly and polished Queen Elizabeth II in Peter Morgan's "The Audience."
The "Prime Suspect" star already won an Oscar for playing the monarch in the movie "The Queen."
Richard McCabe also won a featured actor trophy for playing one of the prime ministers in the show.

During a commercial break, "Fun Home" songwriters Jeanine Tesori and Lisa Kron became the first female writing team to nab a Tony for musical score. Kron also won for best book of a musical.
The poignant and groundbreaking coming-of-age show "Fun Home" was named best musical, one of five big trophies it won on the way to making history for its composing team.
Two veteran Broadway stars — Cerveris and Kelli O'Hara of "The King and I" — took lead acting Tonys home, while a young man who just last year graduated from drama school won the Tony for best actor in a play.
Cerveris won his second Tony for playing the closeted and suicidal father at the heart of "Fun Home" while O'Hara got her first Tony after six nominations, winning for her role as the English school teacher in a revival of the classic musical "The King and I."
"I love what I do and I don't need this but now that I have it I've some things to say," she said. "My parents who are sitting next to me for the sixth time, you don't have to pretend it's OK this time."
The London-born actor Alex Sharp won for the best lead actor in a play award for "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time," beating out Bradley Cooper and Bill Nighy.
"This time last year I was picked up my diploma graduating from Julliard, so to be holding this is insane. Thank you so, so much for this," he said. "I just want to dedicate this to any young person out there who feels misunderstood or who feels different and answer that question at the end of the play for you: Does that mean I can do anything? Yes it does."
His win was part of a huge five-trophy haul for the adaptation of Mark Haddon's best-selling novel. It also won best play, lighting, scenic design and earned its director Marianne Elliott a Tony, too, with a total of six nominations going into the evening.
"An American in Paris," which had a co-leading 12 nominations, won four technical awards, including best scenic design and one for Christopher Wheeldon for best choreographer.
Tony Award-winners Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming were this year's hosts.
They pair opened with a low-key medley of jokes and songs that displayed their playful, daffy chemistry. Chenoweth and Cumming sang snippets from "It Takes Two," "There's Nothing Like a Dame" and "Willkommen" from "Cabaret," in which Cumming recently finished a year on Broadway.
As 1010 WINS' Carol D'Auria reported, it was a great year for Broadway, racking up nearly $1.5 million at the box office with 13 million attendees.
Theater lovers lined up outside Radio City Music Hall ahead of the show to get a glimpse of the star-studded action.

I am happy to travel for Space Clearing and Feng Shui consultations – so far this year I have travelled to Birmingham, Solihull, Totnes, Yeovil, Bristol, London, Warwick, Leytonstone, Barnet, Wembley, Reading and Derby!
Each Space Clearing or Feng Shui case is a new project, and I enjoy the variety of people and homes that I work with. Every home I Space Clear reveals a unique story to be acknowledged and cleared – creating a fresh new start; and every Feng Shui consultation is an opportunity to create more harmony and balance in someones home and life.
With all this travelling, its great to come home, to relax and enjoy increasingly warm and sunny days. The first apple tree has blossomed and the garden is full of daffs and snowdrops. I also work from home, seeing healing clients. My cottage has a very nurturing space to come for a healing session, and afterwards you can walk along the winding brook, through the field full of horses and into the woods – for grounding and integration.

Shocking photos show just how far bouncy castle flew with Summer Grant inside
Two fairground workers have been found guilty of the death of the seven-year-old girl
Hannah Kane
Shocking photos show just how far a bouncy castle flew down a hill in Harlow, killing the seven-year-old girl inside.
Two fairground workers have been convicted of manslaughter by gross negligence, after a 17-day trial at Chelmsford Crown Court.

William Thurston, 29, and wife Shelby Thurston, 26, were embraced by family members following today's guilty verdict (Wednesday, May 9).
On March 26, 2016, Summer Grant was playing on the inflatable at the town park funfair when it was swept 300 metres and reached "tree-top height".
The youngster from Norwich suffered serious injuries and was rushed to Princess Alexandra Hospital, but sadly died a few hours later.
DCI Daniel Stoten
Daniel Stoten, of the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: "Summer Grant was a seven-year-old girl who lost her life in the most tragic of circumstances.
"The inflatable should never have been in use in those weather conditions and the operators should never have allowed Summer to play on it.
"The Thurstons held a huge responsibility to ensure the safety of the children that used their rides. They treated this responsibility with total disregard, putting profit before safety.
"I welcome the convictions in this case, however this is a tragedy for everyone involved.
"Summer Grant was a beautiful little girl with a beaming smile and a caring nature. She will never be forgotten.
"Summer's parents Cara and Lee, her sister Lily and her wider family have suffered an unspeakable loss.
"They have displayed utter dignity throughout the last two years and during the court process. They have my complete respect for the strength and courage they have shown."
HSE inspector Nicola Jaynes said: "Anyone operating an item of fairground equipment should be aware of their legal duty to protect the health and safety of those not in their employment.
"They should be aware that HSE will not hesitate to take appropriate enforcement action against those that fall below the required standards.
"An inflatable should be checked before use and these checks should include ensuring it is adequately secured to the ground.
"When in use operators should monitor the weather closely and an inflatable should not be used in wind speeds above 24mph or as directed by the manufacture."
The couple were jointly accused of gross negligence manslaughter and failing to discharge a duty of care.
On August 16, 2017, the pair denied causing the death and the case was sent to trial.
Pictures released by Essex Police show the shocking distance the Circus SuperDome inflatable travelled with the little girl inside.
The photos show an aerial view of the funfair in the town park, and shows just how far the dome tumbled and rolled down the hill.

Shelby and William Thurston: The charges in full
On March 26, 2016, seven-year-old Summer Grant was playing on the Circus SuperDome inflatable in Harlow when it was swept away 'some distance'.
Following the incident, she suffered serious injuries and was rushed to Princess Alexandra Hospital. The young girl, from Norwich, died a few hours later.
Two self-employed fairground employees, Shelby Thurston, 25, and her husband William, 28, are charged with manslaughter by gross negligence and breaches of the Health and Safety at Work Act.
Here are the charges in full:
Count 1: Shelby Thurston and William Thurston are charged with manslaughter- unlawful killing of Summer Grant by gross negligence in a breach of your duty to take reasonable care to ensure the inflatable (Circus SuperDome Inflatable) was adequately anchored to the ground and to monitor the weather conditions and ensure they were suitable for the inflatable to be in use
Count 2: Shelby Thurston is charged with failure to discharge a duty under section 3 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 being a self employed person - you failed to ensure the safety of those not in your employment including Summer Grant
Count 3: William Thurston is charged with failure to discharge a duty under section 3 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 being a self employed person - you failed to ensure the safety of those not in your employment including Summer Grant
The Circus SuperDome was swept 300 metres down the hill after it was not adequately anchored in the ground.
The Just Inflatables product was manufactured with too few anchor points. The dome only had 17, when the requirement is 24.
Gusts of wind were up to 40mph during the hour of the incident, but the guidelines on the dome stated it should not be in use in winds above 24mph.
The jury of five men and seven women found the pair guilty on all counts, manslaughter by gross negligence and failing to discharge a duty of care under section 3 of the Health and Safety at Work Act.
Summer's mother, Carla Blackie, walked out of the courtroom in tears after the conviction.
DCI Daniel Stoten, senior officer in the case, spoke outside the court.

He said: "They had a huge weight on their shoulders and that was for the safety of children and other people's loved ones.
"They put profit first. They ignored the rules and regulations, they did not conduct the checks they should have conducted and sadly Summer's lost her life."

The couple will be sentenced soon, although an exact date has not yet been fixed.
Justice Neil Garnham said: "Let me make this crystal clear. All options are open. I shall seriously consider imprisonment.
"I will be considering all options in terms of sentence."
