Children pretend they are a tiny seed in the ground (they curl up in a ball). Tell them that it is starting to rain (they move a little bit, but remain curled up in a ball). The seed then sprouts (children lift their head and their upper body). The sun shines and the seed grows and grows (children slowly stand). The seed becomes a beautiful flower (children stretch and strike an original pose). The wind blows (children keep their feet firmly on the ground and sway from side to side).
Guide the children and have them act out various gardening activities such as turning over the soil, planting seeds and covering them with soil, watering the garden with a watering can or a hose, pulling weeds, picking vegetables, etc.
(Open game-Garden) Print six copies. Laminate and glue the illustrations on the floor so that children can hop on identical vegetables (from cabbage to cabbage for example). Name a vegetable.

Ask parents if they have a garden at home. If they do, ask them if you can visit it with your group.
Invite parents to join you on a trip to your local garden centre. Children will enjoy observing different types of vegetable plants, flowers, and gardening accessories.
Ask each child to bring a vegetable from home. Use the different vegetables to create an original recipe with the children's help. Call it your vegetarian combo. The challenge is to use all the vegetables in a single recipe. If there is a vegetable which absolutely cannot be used in the recipe itself, use it to decorate the plate. Children will surely love this new recipe!
Children stand next to each other on a line, leaving one arm's length between them and the friends standing next to them. They become flowers. They raise their arms up in the air, they sway in the wind. The wind gets stronger and stronger. They swing their arms faster and faster. The wind turns, their arms spin like a helicopter propeller. Remember to end the activity with a calm wind, offering children the opportunity to wind down.

Give each child a potato and colourful toothpicks. Fill a plate with colourful food items such as marshmallows, banana pieces, raisins, apple slices, grapes, strawberries, etc. Encourage each child to create an original Mr. Potato.
Fill a container with soil and add a few vegetables (with leaves) to create a pretend garden. Provide gardening tools.
Cut a potato in two. Deposit half in a plate so children can observe it and deposit the second half in a transparent container filled with water. Observe the changes throughout the day and week.
Place a celery stalk with its leaves attached in colourful water. The leaves will turn the same colour as the water. You may give each child a celery stalk, a glass of water, and food coloring. Write each child's name on his container. Use different colors.
Observe, manipulate, and eat different kinds of potatoes... white, red, yellow, blue, etc.
Fill a container with soil and add gardening tools, plastic flowers, and an empty watering can. Children will love pretending they are planting flowers in their own flower box.
Dip cotton balls in perfume oil. Drop the cotton balls in empty margarine containers in which you punched holes. Make sure the covers are secured with adhesive tape. If you do not have perfume oil, use scented candles or soaps which smell like flowers. You can show children pictures of various flowers and use them for an association activity.
Find two plants which are similar. Place one plant in the sun and water it regularly with your group. Place the second plant in the shade and do not water it. Observe the differences and discuss what plants need to survive.
Give each child a Ziploc bag and have them deposit a cotton ball inside. Give them bean seeds and tell them to drop them on the cotton ball. Have them add a small quantity of water. Seal the bags and stick them in a window. Explain that seeds need sunlight to grow. In just a few days, children will be amazed to see the seeds grow! Variation 1: You can do the same exercise with tiny yogurt containers filled with soil. Add seeds and place them on a windowsill. Variation 2: You can also use Styrofoam drinking glasses. Have children draw eyes, a nose, and a mouth on their glass. Plant grass seeds in the soil. Children will love to see their character's hair grow!
You will need three white carnations and three drinking glasses. Pour a small quantity of water in each glass. Add food coloring to two of the glasses. Place a carnation in each glass and wait for the result. The flowers placed in the glasses which contain food coloring will change color!
You will need orange juice, soda (7-Up), and strawberry or peach yogurt. Pour all the ingredients into a blender and mix. Pour the mixture into glasses and decorate them with flowers. Serve the flower nectar as a snack.
Purchase edible flowers. They can be found in specialty stores and certain supermarkets.
Serve various types of seeds at snack time: sunflower seeds, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, etc. Compare them to different vegetable seeds (shape, color, etc.) Beware of allergies.

Provide modeling dough (or salt dough) and let children sculpt colourful vegetables. Let dry.
Provide several books which include flower illustrations for inspiration. Children can draw their favourite flower and present their choice to their friends.
Make your own paper tablecloth for a special picnic. Use vegetables as paintbrushes (celery, carrots, potatoes, etc.) A celery heart, when cut at the base, looks like a rose while the heart of an apple looks like a star. Just dip them in paint and make prints on your tablecloth. Let dry.
Trace vegetable shapes on large pieces of cardboard (2 of each). Cut them out and staple them together, leaving the top open. Ask children to stuff the shapes with newspaper. When they are done, staple it closed and let children paint their giant veggies.
Set a large white banner on a table. Give children corn cobs and let them paint away. They can roll the corn cobs in the paint and then on the paper.
Visit your local supermarket and request spoiled vegetables. Use them to paint with your group. Asparagus make great paintbrushes, carrots make fine lines like pens, etc.

Draw a flower on the inner part of a Styrofoam meat tray. Trace the same lines with glue. Wrap with yarn. Fill the empty spaces with glue (one space at a time). Cover the glue with different colors of yarn. Add a piece of yarn to the top to hang your flower.
Cut several tissue paper circles. Use six circles for each flower. Secure them with a pipe cleaner and pinch the center. Separate each layer to make nice, big flowers. You can spray the flowers with perfume if you wish to make a scented bouquet!
Pick flowers with your group. Bunch them together to make bouquets. Hang them upside down in a dry and obscure location (for one to three weeks). Let children use the dried flowers for crafts. They can, for example, glue the flowers in the center of a paper plate and paint the contour with poster paint.
Use egg carton sections to make tulips. Have children paint each section a different color. Use a pipe cleaner for the stem. Plant them in foam blocks.
Sculpt flower shapes using potato halves. Hang a huge piece of paper on the wall (you may use cut paper grocery bags). Offer bright poster paint and invite children to dip the flower shapes in the paint and make prints on the paper. You can also make flowers out of doilies and glue them on the paper.
Give each child a drinkable yogurt container. Have them apply glue to the outside of the container and roll it in sand. Once dry, paint your container and add flowers.

Has any pope ever visited Macau? I can't seem to find any information on it. If a pope hasn't visited Macau before, why not? The Catholic Diocese of Macau is directly administered by the Holy See so it would make sense to at least show once.
Macau is under Chinese administration. No pope has ever visted China or it's specially administrated regions such as Macau. The reason is quite simple: The Vatican has no diplomatic relation with the People's Republic of China. Even prior to 1999, when Macau was under Portuguese administration, Pope John Paul II never visited Macau. See Wikipedia's list of pastoral visits of Pope john Paul II outside of Italy.
In fact, Pope Francis wants to be the first pontiff to visit mainland China — but it won't be easy.
There have been no official People's Republic of China – Holy See relations since 1951.
The Beijing government broke off diplomatic relations with the Holy See in 1951 after a complicated incident. Throughout 1950 and 1951, China had been putting pressure on the Vatican by threatening a breakaway of "independent Catholics", but many priests opposed the movement, and Zhou Enlai sought a middle ground. A deadly controversy was then manufactured: a priest working at the Holy See internunciature (legation) had thrown out an old 1930s-era mortar in a trash pile out of his home. A businessman named Antonio Riva discovered the mortar and took a non-functioning piece of it back to his house to display as an antique. When Communist officials saw Riva's curio in his home, they arrested him for conspiracy to assassinate Mao Zedong, which Riva denied. Riva was executed and the Holy See's diplomatic mission was banished from the country for "espionage". Tarcisio Martina, the regional apostolic prefect, was sentenced to life in prison and died in 1961, while four other "conspirators" were given shorter sentences.

Q: Check if application is installed in registry Right now I use this to list all the applications listed in the registry for 32bit & 64.
I have seen the other examples of how to check if an application is installed without any luck.
string registryKey = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall";
RegistryKey key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(registryKey);
if (key != null)
{
    foreach (String a in key.GetSubKeyNames())
    {
        RegistryKey subkey = key.OpenSubKey(a);
        Console.WriteLine(subkey.GetValue("DisplayName"));
    }
}

registryKey = @"SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall";
key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(registryKey);
if (key != null)
{
    foreach (String a in key.GetSubKeyNames())
    {
        RegistryKey subkey = key.OpenSubKey(a);
        Console.WriteLine(subkey.GetValue("DisplayName"));
    }
}

So this snippet lists it all in the console window and what I am trying to do is
just find one program title out of the list of display names to see if it's installed.
The last thing I tried was
if (subkey.Name.Contains("OpenSSL"))
    Console.Writeline("OpenSSL Found");
else
    Console.Writeline("OpenSSL Not Found");

Anything I tried came back either false or a false positive. Is there anyone that can show me how to just grab a title out of the list?
Please don't post up the well-known private static void IsApplicationInstalled(p_name) function. It does not work for me at all.

A: I have checked @Stellan Lindell's code and it doesn't work in all cases.
My version should work in all scenarios and checks the specific version of installed programs(x86, x64).

A: The solution @Hyperion is ok but it has an error because for 32 bit configurations. No 64 bit registers are returned. To receive 64 bit registers, do the following:
string registryKey = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall";
RegistryKey key64 = RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RegistryView.Registry64);
RegistryKey key = key64.OpenSubKey(registryKey);

A: After searching and troubleshooting, I got it to work this way:
public static bool checkInstalled (string c_name)
{
    string displayName;

    string registryKey = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall";
    RegistryKey key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(registryKey);
    if (key != null)
    {
        foreach (RegistryKey subkey in key.GetSubKeyNames().Select(keyName => key.OpenSubKey(keyName)))
        {
            displayName = subkey.GetValue("DisplayName") as string;
            if (displayName != null && displayName.Contains(c_name))
            {
                return true;
            }
        }
        key.Close();
    }

    registryKey = @"SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall";
    key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(registryKey);
    if (key != null)
    {
        foreach (RegistryKey subkey in key.GetSubKeyNames().Select(keyName => key.OpenSubKey(keyName)))
        {
            displayName = subkey.GetValue("DisplayName") as string;
            if (displayName != null && displayName.Contains(c_name))
            {
                return true;
            }
        }
        key.Close();
    }
    return false;
}

And I simply just call it using
if(checkInstalled("Application Name"))

A: This is a clean way to do this without that much code.
    private static bool IsSoftwareInstalled(string softwareName)
    {
        var key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall") ??
                  Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(
                      @"SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall");

        if (key == null)
            return false;

        return key.GetSubKeyNames()
            .Select(keyName => key.OpenSubKey(keyName))
            .Select(subkey => subkey.GetValue("DisplayName") as string)
            .Any(displayName => displayName != null && displayName.Contains(softwareName));
    }

Call it with a if-statement:
if (IsSoftwareInstalled("OpenSSL"))

A: Solutions above are really good, but sometimes you have to check if product is installed also on another machine. So there is a version based on solutions above from @Stellan Lindell and @Mroczny Arturek
This method works OK for local machine and also remote machine...
    public static bool IsSoftwareInstalled(string softwareName, string remoteMachine = null, StringComparison strComparison = StringComparison.Ordinal)
    {
        string uninstallRegKey = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall";

        RegistryView[] enumValues = (RegistryView[])Enum.GetValues(typeof(RegistryView));

        //Starts from 1, because first one is Default, so we dont need it...
        for (int i = 1; i < enumValues.Length; i++)
        {
            //This one key is all what we need, because RegView will do the rest for us
            using (RegistryKey key = (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(remoteMachine))
                ? RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, enumValues[i]).OpenSubKey(uninstallRegKey)
                : RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, remoteMachine, enumValues[i]).OpenSubKey(uninstallRegKey))
            {
                if (key != null)
                {
                    if (key.GetSubKeyNames()
                        .Select(keyName => key.OpenSubKey(keyName))
                        .Select(subKey => subKey.GetValue("DisplayName") as string)
                        //SomeTimes we really need the case sensitive/insensitive option...
                        .Any(displayName => displayName != null && displayName.IndexOf(softwareName, strComparison) >= 0))
                    { return true; }
                }
            }
        }

        return false;
    }

The registry version is only one from two standard options.. Another option is using WMI, but the registry one is much better due to performance, so take WMI only as a alternative.
    //This one does't have a case sensitive/insesitive option, but if you need it, just don't use LIKE %softwareName%
    //and get all products (SELECT Name FROM Win32_Product). After that just go trough the result and compare...
    public static bool IsSoftwareInstalledWMI(string softwareName, string remoteMachine = null)
    {
        string wmiPath = (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(remoteMachine))
                            ? @"\\" + remoteMachine + @"\root\cimv2"
                            : @"\\" + Environment.MachineName + @"\root\cimv2";

        SelectQuery select = new SelectQuery(string.Format("SELECT * FROM Win32_Product WHERE Name LIKE \"%{0}%\"", softwareName));

        if (SelectStringsFromWMI(select, new ManagementScope(wmiPath)).Count > 0) { return true; }

        return false;
    }

There is my SelectStringsFromWMI method, but you can do this on your own, this is not important part of this solution. But if you are intersted, there it is...
    public static List<Dictionary<string, string>> SelectStringsFromWMI(SelectQuery select, ManagementScope wmiScope)
    {
        List<Dictionary<string, string>> result = new List<Dictionary<string, string>>();
        using (ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(wmiScope, select))
        {
            using (ManagementObjectCollection objectCollection = searcher.Get())
            {
                foreach (ManagementObject managementObject in objectCollection)
                {
                    //With every new object we add new Dictionary
                    result.Add(new Dictionary<string, string>());
                    foreach (PropertyData property in managementObject.Properties)
                    {
                        //Always add data to newest Dictionary
                        result.Last().Add(property.Name, property.Value?.ToString());
                    }
                }

                return result;
            }
        }
    }

!!UPDATE!!
Due to really bad performance, there is another improvement. Just get values async..
public static bool IsSoftwareInstalled(string softwareName, string remoteMachine = null, StringComparison strComparison = StringComparison.Ordinal)
{
    string uninstallRegKey = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall";

    RegistryView[] enumValues = (RegistryView[])Enum.GetValues(typeof(RegistryView));

    //Starts from 1, because first one is Default, so we dont need it...
    for (int i = 1; i < enumValues.Length; i++)
    {
        //This one key is all what we need, because RegView will do the rest for us
        using (RegistryKey regKey = (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(remoteMachine))
                    ? RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, enumValues[i]).OpenSubKey(uninstallRegKey)
                    : RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, remoteMachine, enumValues[i]).OpenSubKey(uninstallRegKey))
        {
              if (SearchSubKeysForValue(regKey, "DisplayName", softwareName, strComparison).Result)
              { return true; }
        }
    }

    return false;
}

And the SearchSubKeysForValue method (can be build as extension method):
    public static async Task<bool> SearchSubKeysForValue(RegistryKey regKey, string valueName, string searchedValue, StringComparison strComparison = StringComparison.Ordinal)
    {
        bool result = false;
        string[] subKeysNames = regKey.GetSubKeyNames();
        List<Task<bool>> tasks = new List<Task<bool>>();

        for (int i = 0; i < subKeysNames.Length - 1; i++)
        {
            //We have to save current value for i, because we cannot use it in async task due to changed values for it during foor loop
            string subKeyName = subKeysNames[i];
            tasks.Add(Task.Run(() =>
            {
                string value = regKey.OpenSubKey(subKeyName)?.GetValue(valueName)?.ToString() ?? null;
                return (value != null && value.IndexOf(searchedValue, strComparison) >= 0);
            }));
        }

        bool[] results = await Task.WhenAll(tasks).ConfigureAwait(false);
        result = results.Contains(true);

        return result;
    }

A: I tried the solutions here, but they didnt work in some cases. The reason was, that my programm is 32 bit and runs on 64 bit Windows. With the solutions posted here a 32bit process can not check whether a 64 bit application is installed.
How to access 64 bit registry with a 32 bit process
RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey
I modifed the solutions here to get a working one for this issue:
Usage example
 Console.WriteLine(IsSoftwareInstalled("Notepad++"));

Code
    public static bool IsSoftwareInstalled(string softwareName)
    {
        var registryUninstallPath                = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall";
        var registryUninstallPathFor32BitOn64Bit = @"SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall";

        if (Is32BitWindows())
            return IsSoftwareInstalled(softwareName, RegistryView.Registry32, registryUninstallPath);

        var is64BitSoftwareInstalled = IsSoftwareInstalled(softwareName, RegistryView.Registry64, registryUninstallPath);
        var is32BitSoftwareInstalled = IsSoftwareInstalled(softwareName, RegistryView.Registry64, registryUninstallPathFor32BitOn64Bit);
        return is64BitSoftwareInstalled || is32BitSoftwareInstalled;
    }

    private static bool Is32BitWindows() => Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem == false;

    private static bool IsSoftwareInstalled(string softwareName, RegistryView registryView, string installedProgrammsPath)
    {
        var uninstallKey = RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, registryView)
                                              .OpenSubKey(installedProgrammsPath);

        if (uninstallKey == null)
            return false;

        return uninstallKey.GetSubKeyNames()
                           .Select(installedSoftwareString => uninstallKey.OpenSubKey(installedSoftwareString))
                           .Select(installedSoftwareKey => installedSoftwareKey.GetValue("DisplayName") as string)
                           .Any(installedSoftwareName => installedSoftwareName != null && installedSoftwareName.Contains(softwareName));
    }

A: Here is my version for 64 bits
  public static string[] checkInstalled(string findByName)
    {
        string[] info = new string[3];

        string registryKey = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall";

        //64 bits computer
        RegistryKey key64 = RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RegistryView.Registry64);
        RegistryKey key = key64.OpenSubKey(registryKey);

        if (key != null)
        {
            foreach (RegistryKey subkey in key.GetSubKeyNames().Select(keyName => key.OpenSubKey(keyName)))
            {
                string displayName = subkey.GetValue("DisplayName") as string;
                if (displayName != null && displayName.Contains(findByName))
                {
                    info[0] = displayName;

                    info[1] = subkey.GetValue("InstallLocation").ToString();

                    info[2] = subkey.GetValue("Version").ToString();
                }
            }

            key.Close();
        }

        return info;
    }

you can call this method like this
string[] JavaVersion = Software.checkInstalled("Java(TM) SE Development Kit");

if the array is empty means no installation found. if it is not empty it will give you the original name, relative path, and location which in most cases that is all we are looking to get.

Do not wait for orders to probe murders: Bombay HC
Apr 27, 2019, 1:26 am IST
Metros, Mumbai
Bombay high court has expressed its displeasure on the probe into the Narendra Dabholkar and Govind Pansare murder cases.
Narendra Dabholkar (Photo: PTI)
Mumbai: The Bombay high court has expressed its displeasure on the probe into the Narendra Dabholkar and Govind Pansare murder cases.
The court has directed the chief secretary of the state to conduct meetings with the additional chief secretary, home, and principal secretary of finance along with Central Bure-au of Investigation (CBI) and Special Investigation Team (SIT) officers and decide what assistance should be provided to the investigating agencies in the probe.
The court also pulled up the probe agency and said that after the death of Gauri Lankesh, no one had filed a petition in the Karnataka high court, whereas in Maharashtra, family members had to come to the court.
A division bench of Justice S.C. Dharmadhikari and Justice B.P. Colabawala was hearing petitions filed by families of rationalists Dabholkar and Pansare to monitor probe which is being conducted by the state appointed SIT and CBI. On Friday the court said that, "The state shall provide ground-level assistance if the CBI proposes to carry out any major operation."
The bench further added "When a similar attack was carried out in Karnataka on writer Gauri Lankesh (in 2017), the police there immediately probed and arrested the accused without waiting for the court orders or for any petitions to be filed," the court said. "We do not want the Mahara-shtra government to exp-ect court orders to investigate murders," Justice Dharmadhikari said. Bureaucrats at the helm of affairs have to show people how they deal with such attacks, the court said.
The high court further said that political parties and their bosses should show maturity and ensure that there are no obstacles in the probe into the killings of Dabhoklar and Pansare.
"No one should attempt to silence any voice of dissent. That should be our endeavor. We expect all political parties and their bosses to show maturity and not create obstacles in the investigation," Justice Dharmadhikari said.

ARSENAL fans have called on Unai Emery to start Alexandre Lacazette after the striker scored an incredible goal in training.
Emery favoured Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to lead the line in the 2-0 defeat to Manchester City at the weekend.
Lacazette did come off the bench in the second half but failed to grab a goal.
The Frenchman may have staked his claim to play a bigger part in their next match, however, if new footage from London Colney is anything to go by.
The clip – posted by Arsenal's official Instagram – shows Lacazette lining up a shot from a dead-ball situation.
Between him and goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez are inflatable obstacles to represent a wall.
But it proves no problem for the 27-year-old as he curls the ball over the objects and sees it fire perfectly into the top right of the net.
The shot was so good that Martinez doesn't even bother to dive.
More than 100,000 people have seen the clip since it was posted earlier today.
And there was a running theme with the comments.
"Start him next to Aubameyang," one commented.
Arsenal will hope to put the defeat against City behind them when they take on London rivals Chelsea on Saturday.

Travis Barker Drops A Remix Of Lil Peep & XXXTENTACION's Falling Down

Travis Barker Drops a Remix of Lil Peep & XXXTENTACION's Falling Down
Singer, producer, drummer, Travis Barker has come through with his remix of Lil Peep and XXXTentacion song titled "Falling Down" and he is getting a lot of praise for this one.
The song is coming as a posthumous effort from the producer to honor the memory of the two rappers who sadly are no longer with us.
Travis Barker is no longer a newcomer on the scene. He hasn't been anyway since a long time ago when he distinguished himself as one of the rappers of note in the industry.
Top songs from him and collaborations with the likes of Lil Wayne, Eminem, The Game, $uicideboy$, Yelawolf, and Rick Ross have ensured that he is one of the top names in the industry and he brought that energy on this song.

He reworked a large part of this song too. It's not called a remix for nothing. But even then, Travis still admits that he loved the original song better and that was even the motivation behind doing a remix for it in the first place, saying he was inspired by it.
In his words, "[I] still really really love[d] the original. It just puts you in a mood, you know? You never listen with those ears, like, 'What if i was gonna remix this?' But you just hear the potential of so many other things it could be."
The remix has already garnered likes and comments and some have been asking if Lil Peep himself would love this remix. Well, we will never know. Listen to the remix and decide for yourself.

The Russell. A Right Royal Venue
The Russell
A Right Royal Venue
After a day "digging" into Ireland's Ancient East, it was time to eat. Headed into Navan, a few miles from our delightful base at Teltown House, and a table in the stylish room at The Russell. Got a warm welcome at the bar and we were soon seated at our table by the window. Sank back into the comfortable chairs and began to study the menu, well the specials mainly.
They have a long and wide-ranging menu here but both our mains came from the night's specials. I picked the Peppered Kangaroo Steak, leeks and fried black pudding, with crispy bacon and red berry jus. It was substantial, didn't expect such a plateful. But, more importantly, it was cooked to perfection. The Kangaroo was a delight, enjoyed the black pudding too and the leeks. Top notch.
Approving noises coming too from the other side of the table where CL was tucking into the Baked Sea-trout fillet with prawns, served with courgette Provençal, and Lemon beurre blanc. Another outstanding special. The trout came to €22.95 while the 'roo was priced at €24.95.
My starter was another special and was: Crispy Duck Confit with braised red cabbage and balsamic glaze (10.95). You tend to get Duck Confit a lot nowadays, not always great, but this was excellent.
Another popular starter on Irish menus is Goat's cheese. Their version was that bit different: Warm Apple and Goat's Cheese with crushed walnuts & a Cumberland glaze (8.00). These were both so good and so well presented that jealous eyes were wandering across the table. So a share was in order and all were happy!
Service was great and we had some lovely chats before we left this friendly place. I'm sure the desserts would have been terrific but they had us well fed and all I could manage was a wee glass of port. Sláinte!

Where it all happens. The flour is bagged on bottom right.
It is a sunny summer morning on the banks of the River Blackwater in County Meath. All we hear is the water falling over the weir, the gentle rhythm of the mill wheel as it turns. The noise of the traffic on the nearby road does not penetrate here. "Here we are transported back in time, just as our forefathers would have heard it," says James Tallon, the ancient mill's owner-operator.
The paddles of the wheel are not metal but wooden and are covered in a rich coating of moss. People ask James why he doesn't clear the moss. But the moss is a crucial element in the longevity of the paddles. If, for some reason, the mill is down and the paddles have no moss, they'll dry out quickly and deteriorate. But with a generous coating of moss to keep them moist, they'll last for an amazing twenty five years. The wheel, by the way, is quite large, with a diameter of 4.42 metres (14.5 feet in old money!).
James, and an old wheel
A mill pick and three grains (l to r),
barley, wheat and oats
Martry Mill is one of the country's very few water powered corn mills, still producing stone-ground wholemeal flour in the traditional way and its history goes back to 1641 (at least!) The Tallon's long connection with the mill began in 1859 when Thomas Tallon (great-grandfather of the present owner) worked here. His son James Tallon bought it out in 1902 and it's been in the family ever since.
It looked like the end of the road though in 1978 when works for the Boyne Drainage Scheme (the Blackwater flows into the Boyne) changed the level of the river. But, with help from the Navan Chamber of Commerce and An Taisce, a scheme undertaken by the OPW preserved Martry as a working mill.
More recently, in conjunction with the Meath partnership (who provided Leader funding) and a group of German engineers and millwrights, more improvements were carried out, much to the delight of the people of the locality who hold in great affection - it is by far the oldest building in the immediate locality.
The mill produces genuine stoneground wholemeal flour and customers include SuperValu (across Meath), local bakers and delis and the well-known Chef Richard Corrigan who uses it in his London restaurants. A visit to the mill is a popular trip for school groups and a special room is set aside for tour groups.
Before (top) and after
Here you'll see two large stone wheels, bought secondhand in 1938 from another local mill and there was a lot of trouble shifting them the few miles by horse and cart. Interestingly James told me the life of a wheel can be extended by the application of plaster of Paris, which is about the same weight as an equivalent piece of stone.
And then he related an important Christmas "ceremony" for mill owners. They would seek out and keep the four best turkey tail feathers to be used in balancing a pair of grinding wheels. Four people were needed, spread evenly around, and by using the delicate feather, they could find out where any imbalance occurred and that was corrected with a piece of lead. Even when spirit levels became common, quite a lot of the old hands double checked with the feathers!
Grain goes into the grind, slow and steady
And then there were the fishy stories, one going back to the middle of the last century when some salmon were suffering from a "scabby" disease and the fisheries people were trying to clean up the river. Not all salmon had the disease though. One day, a warden told James' father about a big healthy one in the weir and, with a wink, hinted that it would be a shame to waste him. So the father, with child James in tow, went down with the warden and during the very civilised handover, young James piped up: "Daddy, where will you put him? Isn't the fridge full of salmon!"
And then he had many stories about eels, no shortage of eel fisheries between Virginia in Cavan and Kells in Meath. And eels were much appreciated around here, not least for their flesh. The skin too had its uses and he showed some examples of mill belts repaired and reinforced with eel skin.
A belt, reinforced with eel skin inserts, and
the heavy key that sent a Black and Tan to the ground.
And then, after the cooking, the oil (the eel is an oily fish) was collected and bottled and, every winter, people came to the mill looking for oil for medical purposes. It was used to ease and or cure earache and other ailments such as sprains, arthritis and rheumatism.
During the War of Independence, the Black and Tans came calling, thinking that the store of grain was an ideal place to hide weapons and ammo. They made quite a mess poking around with their bayonets and so on but found nothing. But the Tallons were upset and let it be known. The military said they'll be back.
And sure enough they returned and tried to grab James' father as he walked home from the mill with the intention of giving him a hammering. But he gave one a slap across the face with the mill key - and it is a weighty one, I can tell you. The "soldier" went down and was quickly lifted into the vehicle by his sole companion and they vanished.
Fortunately, the Tallons and Martry are made of sterner stuff and survive today among their friends and customers, in a beautiful and historic place. Now, if we could only get those eels back!
The wheel and the Blackwater.
Originally, the wheel would have been up close to the mill.

Google Area 120 Orion WiFi shifts phones to WiFi when cellular is weak
JC Torres - Sep 8, 2020, 7:46pm CDT
It isn't unusual that we lose our cellular signals in certain places, be it indoors because of structural impediments or outdoors for one reason or another. There's a reason why some establishments offer free public Wi-Fi to keep visitors happy, but the hassle of figuring out which ones are safe to connect to makes them sad anyway. That's why Google's Area 120 skunkworks arm is launching Orion WiFi that can automatically and seamlessly connect you to such WiFi access points, but with a slight commercial twist that could interest network carriers.
The idea of switching between cellular and Wi-Fi networks isn't exactly new since our phones have long been capable of doing so as long as there is a known access point nearby. Google has also been offering such conveniences for its own customers and other experiments in some networks but Orion WiFi has two things that make this idea different and interesting.
The first is that it happens seamlessly without the user even knowing about it, especially not the AP name they need to connect to. Orion actually puts the decision making in the hands of carriers, determining whether Wi-Fi is actually stronger than the cellular signal or stay on mobile data otherwise. Area 120 promises that Orion cannot access users' Internet traffic.
The other part of its proposition is that, unlike similar attempts in the past, this actually puts network operators and carriers in control. This means carriers can offer this feature to their subscribers, for a fee, of course. They will also have to work with establishments providing the WiFi networks, making it sound like a potentially profitable business partnership.
That said, that also means carriers will have actually jump in for it to work, with Google Fi and Republic Wireless as the first in line. Orion is also working with Boingo, the company that provides "carrier-grade" WiFi in the US. Of course, that means availability is going to be limited within the US and, like any Area 120 project, may or may not survive the test of time.

Q: How to post with update panel and re-rout its response data I implemented a save-draft trick using an update panel whereby I handle the updatepanel's asynch postback on the server side and then to avoid resending the same html data I throw an exception with the current datetime as message and then  capture it on the client side where i do some transformation and html injection to let the user know that a draft of his current work has been saved (TERRIBLE!).
The original idea was to handle the asynch postback and then override the rendering method of the update panel to send xml or javascript data that could be captured and processed on the client side stopping the update panels refresh from occuring.
Has anyone tried this kind of functionality using update panels?

A: I don't think that an UpdatePanel is really what you want here. If you're wanting to get the response back and have the best control over the response you should look at standard AJAX requests.
An UpdatePanel isn't something that you can really control the response of all that well, you can tie into the endRequest event handler on the PageRequestManager, there you can check the respose. Here's the details on the eventArgs you get back - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/library/bb384175.aspx
But throwing an Exception isn't a good idea because nothing exceptional has happened, which is what an exception is ;)

SouthernTravelNews.com™ is a news media venture -- an online feature newspaper dedicated to editorial coverage of travel within the U.S. South and cruising from southern U.S. ports. Our articles change weekly, depending on the section. Some pages are updated more frequently.
Visitors to our site enjoy daily headline news briefs, a blog, major travel features on dedicated state pages and themed category pages, as well as details about packages and deals, photos of the week, reader trip reports, book reviews and more.
Throughout the site we put heavy emphasis on destination profiles and information of interest to travelers planning a visit to the U.S. South in the coming year.
We don't cover the world. That gives a more targeted focus to our coverage. We write about travel to Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia, and cruising from ports in those states.
Lots of sites focus on "doing it all" in the world of travel coverage. We prefer a narrower focus – just one geographic region. The South is a special place, with its own sense of culture, music and lifestyle. At the same time, the region reflects great diversity even within individual states. We aim to reflect that.

http://www.reallchic.com/ I really want to order the soaps and candles this company makes. I mean - when it looks so good you want to eat it - how can you resist?
http://www.cocomyles.com/ This company makes bridesmaids/formal dresses. You choose the top and the bottom style, the fabric, the color, and a few additional things. (They have 4 tops styles with sleeves!) The prices are amazing. This is perfect for weddings with several bridesmaids because you can reserve fabric bolts so the fabric for all the dresses matches perfectly. The other fun thing is all the bridesmaids could choose their own style of dress but match the fabric.
http://www.personalizationmall.com/ I love ordering things from this company. I have a canvas picture of my husband holding our son on his Blessing Day with a poem I wrote. Tons of people have asked where I got it - this is the site. It's a great way to personalize something.

Safaricom launches East Africa's first 5G network, Huawei a vendor
Kenya's biggest telecoms operator Safaricom has started trials for 5G high-speed internet network using technology from Nokia and Huawei, it said.
By Duncan Miriri
NAIROBI: Kenya's biggest telecoms operator Safaricom has started trials for 5G high-speed internet network using technology from Nokia and Huawei, it said.
Safaricom, part owned by South Africa's Vodacom and Britain's Vodafone, wants to boost its fast-growing data business, amid increasing demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic forcing people to work and learn from home.
The trials, which started with four Kenyan cities and towns on Friday, will be expanded to 150 sites in nine urban areas in the next 12 months, Safaricom said in a statement.
Safaricom said last year it would consider Huawei for its 5G network rollout. The United States has urged countries not to include Huawei in their 5G plans, citing security concerns, which Huawei has denied.
Safaricom is the market leader in the mobile data segment in Kenya, with 67.5% of total users as of last September, statistics from the regulator Communications Authority of Kenya showed.
The company has a 35.6% share of the small but growing internet to home and office by fibre market, CAK said.
The new 5G network will give consumers internet speeds of 700 megabits per second, more than three times faster than the current 4G network, the company said.
It will also allow Safaricom to offer an alternative service for homes and offices in areas which are not currently covered by the its fibre network, the company said.
The technology will also support far many more devices to connect to the internet in a given area, compared with the existing network.

Coming up soon! Lahore's first ever Danceathon
Yumna Rehman
On 16th of March, Saturday, at 10:30 am a group of passionate and ambitious women are ready to make history. At the Nishat Hotel in Gulberg, the largest ever female-led fitness event will be taking place with almost 150 women grooving, dancing and moving to the tunes of tracks and songs especially prepared for the first-ever Danceathon – the title of the event itself inspired from the words Dance and Marathon. The Danceathon is a lot more than just a dance event! It's a unique celebration of women's day and is aimed at making a statement about women putting fitness first, putting health first, in short putting themselves first of everything else.
"This is going to be a landmark event in the history of fitness and women empowerment," said Mahlaqa Shaukat, CEO of AimFit, a pioneering name in the field of fitness. With 4 operational locations including one in GardenTown and one in Rawalpindi, AimFit has quickly created waves with its revolutionary DanceFit classes and innovative programs such as HitFit, ComboFit, YogaFlow and HIITFIT. "This event brings together so much of what AimFit believes in from female fitness to women coming together for a cause to women putting aside everything else just to focus on themselves for a couple of hours."
The Danceathon sold out about a week before the actual event, creating waves across the city and country with women all over tuning into their Instagram accounts to see what new tracks have been released.
This landmark event is being put together by AimFit and Scaryammi, a mothering blog which has created waves throughout Pakistan and beyond. The Original Scaryammi Ayesha Nasir met with AimFit's Mahlaqa Shaukat at the Conference Of Inspiration in February and the seeds for danceathon were sown.
"The Danceathon embodies so much of what Scaryammi believes in," said Ayesha Nasir. "It's an event which celebrates ammis working together to create magic. It is also an event which is highlighting fitness for ammis and giving mothers across the city an opportunity to put their hair down and just dance."
The primary sponsors for the Danceathon are Peak Sports and Olio Premium Oils along with Skin Studio and Milk Milk.
The orange carpet at the event is being hosted by RJ and renowned event host Sophiya Anjum while the lucky draw is being conducted by Sara Gundapur.
"I am super excited to be dancing on stage with ten of our best dancers and getting a room filled with more than one hundred women dancing and grooving in synch." said NoorulHira Shaukat, the COO of AimFit. "I don't think Lahore has ever experienced anything like it before."
The team at AimFit has been working around the clock to prepare the most exciting tracks from the dancefit routines for this groundbreaking event.
Saadia Bandial, one of the participants of the Danceathon, says she has never been as excited about an event as she is about this one. "I have never ever danced in a group as large as this one and have also never been a part of glow and go activity. Super excited."
Lahore stay tuned! The 16th of March is right around the corner.

I have some gorgeous polishes from a new to me UK indie polish brand! Liv Oliv is a family run business based in the UK that makes cruelty free, non-toxic and vegan cosmetics. Today I have swatched some nail polishes and I did a few nail art looks with them on last Friday's post.
First up is Click Your Heels which is a stunning deep red with tons of sparkle. It's name is absolutely perfect as it just reminds of Dorothy's shoes! It is a jelly based polish but was opaque in two coats!
Enchanted Evergreen is a lovely dark green with a sprinkle of holo glitter. Another two coater!
Glass Slipper is a bit luxurious as it's made with actual sterling silver!! How cool is that?! I did use three coats for this one as it was a bit more sheer than the others.
OMG how glittery is Orion?! I applied one coat and then sponged on two coats for ultimate glitter pay off and boy that is some good pay off. This is a ultra sparkly gold glitter polish. Love how it has the bigger glitter hexs in there.
I was super impressed with these polishes. They all applied really well and also dried super quick! As there are no chemicals, there no nasty smell either. I have come to love this about indie polishes!
Polishes range from £4.99 to £9.99 as minis are available and there's also hand cream and cuticle oil. If the polishes are anything to go by, I'm sure all the other items will be brilliant.

We have a magneto and WordPress site up and running but we are running into some issues with adding a cookie warning to our WordPress site. We want to add google adds to our blog but the terms and conditions state that the site must have an active cookie warning. We looked for a plugin to do this but non of the WordPress plugins seemed to work! We then installed a localhost version of WordPress to test the plugins and they worked on that. Any suggestions on how to get some form of cookie warning working would be great!
So are you using FishPig to bring the WordPress blog onto the Magento site?
If they are working on a native WordPress install, it would lead me to think its a FishPig thing and therefore would be best contacting those guys to see how to make this happen….surely it is doable?!
Yes thats exactly what we are doing but haven't had a reply from them yet! Any other suggestions on adding a cookie alert?
Hello there Rik. We haven't come across that one yet before, so can't suggest any, but it could be one for FishPig to see.

Station: South Lyon, MI
South Lyon was founded in 1832 and was called Thompson's Corners. In the same year, the surrounding township was named Lyon for Lucius Lyon a member of the State Legislature. The village was given a name for its location within the township. South Lyon was incorporated as a village in 1873 and as a city in 1930.
South Lyon was home at one time to three railroads.
In the summer of 1871, the Detroit, Lansing and Northern was built west from Plymouth on the way to Lansing and Ionia. In 1880, the predecessor to the Ann Arbor Railroad built a line into town from Ann Arbor. The goal of this line was to continue on towards Pontiac but that did not occur under the original owners. The line was pulled up around 1890. In 1883 the Grand Trunk built their Jackson Branch from Pontiac to Jackson, which crossed the Pere Marquette near the elevator (photo above). The GTW branch line continued to serve South Lyon until the early 1980's. The branch line is now a paved bicycle trail through town and Reynold Sweet Parkway follows the original route. Today, South Lyon hosts the CSX main line from Detroit to Grand Rapids, and a passing track is located there.
After the first DL&N depot was destroyed by fire, the PM and GTW built a union station to serve both roads. The depot used a "witch's hat" design, which was also used at a few other locations in Michigan. In the mid-1970's, the depot was moved from its track-side location and became the center piece of a historic park in the City about 1/2 mile away.
The largest industry in South Lyon was the Michigan Seamless Tube Company, which established a tube/pipe factory here before World War II. The plant was served by the GTW Jackson Branch on the west side of town. The plant had several sidings. In later years, scrap steel was loaded here from the plant for recycling.
Photo Info/Credit: Top, the South Lyon station under construction. This depot replaced a smaller depot which had burned down. [South Lyon Historical Society]. 2nd and 3rd photos, the depot iln the 1970's. The first taken from the east side. The track in the foreground is the GTW Jackson branch. The C&O main line from Plymouth to Grand Rapids is behind the depot. The 3rd photo is taken from the GTW right-of-way, looking south past the depot and across the C&O diamond. What looks like a crossing before the depot is a road. The interlocking signal post for the crossing is at the right. The siding branching off to th left is the interchange track with the C&O. 4th photo, a view of the union depot and freight house. 5th photo, a vertical view of the station and track diamond in 1972. [Craig Gardner]
1884 depot: A depot is built jointly by the DL&N and the GTW a South Lyon at a cost of about $2,000. (This was the depot which later burned, being replaced by the witch's hat style depot. [DL&N-1884].
1890 stock yard. The DL&N installs a new stock yard at South Lyon. They also repaired and painted the passenger house. [DL&N-1890]
1909 station: The PM built a new station here in 1909 to replace their old station which was destroyed by fire. [PMAR-1909]
