Video Game Addiction, or "gaming disorder," was recently classified as a disease by the WHO. It is an impulse control disorder, similar to pathological gambling, which does not involve the use of an intoxicating substance.
Excessive video gaming, particularly Internet gaming, has been linked to depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and social phobia. An alarming number of adolescents and young adults devote an inordinate amount of time to engaging in video games.
Internet video gaming involves playing online with other people. It tends to be especially addictive because most generally have no ending whereas standard video games involve a single player and a clear goal or mission to achieve. Internet video game players create and temporarily become an online character, building relationships with other online players. It is an escape from reality and for some players, it may be the place they feel the most accepted.
This dissociation from reality and real-life relationships results in social isolation and detachment and notably contributes to increased depression and anxiety. The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and suicide ideations increase with along with playing time.
While most relationships for addicted gamers deteriorate, it is important to note that family relationships are often the most adversely affected. At a stage in life when parental interaction is vital, gamers tend to withdraw. Additionally, friendships lose importance, grades drop, sleep problems occur, anxiety increases, and other interests are lost, all of which further contribute to the depression, resulting in a vicious circle.
Studies show a bidirectional interrelation between Internet gaming addiction and depression symptoms. Some gamers play to cope with emotional stress, but prolonged Internet gaming can result in withdrawal from real-life relationships, often leading to depression. Thus, the symptoms of addiction and depression for Internet gamers have a reciprocal influence on each other.
Pediatrics (journal) published results of a study in January 2018, which involved 3,000 students in grades 3, 4, 7, and 8 over the course of two years. More time playing video games led to depression, anxiety, and social issues 2 years later, combined with grades dropping, impulse control suffering, and most notably relationship deterioration. Another study published in The Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine studied 1,000 Chinese teens' gaming habits and found that participants exhibiting excessive Internet use (mostly for video games) were two times as likely to be depressed in as little as 9 months later than those whose use was not excessive. If these excessive gamers cut back on playing, they showed fewer signs of depression.
Journal of Health Psychology published results of a study in December 2017 involving more than 130,000 participants who were video gamers of all ages. Depression and anxiety were prominent, and gaming was determined to be the cause of 16% of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) issues.
BMC Psychiatry published results of an extensive study in July 2012 on the association between online gaming, social phobia, and depression. Among 722 online gamers aged approximately 16 to 18, the study found a positive correlation between online gaming time and depression. Increased playing time resulted in increased negative consequences, and a prevalence of suicide ideation, anxiety, OCD, lack of or deteriorated real-life relationships, and low self-esteem.
Journal of Affective Disorders published results of a study in January 2018 of 1,205 undergraduate college students who reported playing video games. This study compared video game addicts to healthy controls matched demographically and on overall health measures. Participants who reported higher hours of video game time displayed increased depression and anxiety and were more socially isolated.
Frontiers in Psychiatry published the results of a study in January 2018 of 563 students aged 16-21 who could participate only if they had spent an average of 20% of their daily time on Internet gaming during the years the data were collected. The study focused on changes or differences in the brain and found that gamers exhibited enhanced connectivity between the amygdala (emotional) and prefrontal cortex (executive, reasoning) areas. Aberrant connectivity between these two networks is closely associated with and may underlie depression. This finding strongly supports Internet gaming addiction and depression symptoms being closely interrelated.
Compulsive gamers can suffer from reactions that are similar to withdrawal such as anger, depression, anxiety, irritability, restlessness, and upset stomach when game time is withheld.
As this is a newly recognized addiction classification, few support groups are currently available. Online Gamers Anonymous, a nonprofit organization that offers a 12-step program for recovery from video game addiction, is one notable group.
Inpatient treatment is best for addicted gamers who need to leave their environment altogether for a time in order to effectively begin recovery. Inpatient treatment centers offer group therapy, individual counseling, and an atmosphere free of gaming. They help patients relearn healthy coping skills in a safe environment designed to make the patient feel comfortable and supported while beginning the journey to recovery.
Outpatient treatment (commonly referred to as intensive outpatient, or IOP) offers many of the benefits of inpatient treatment while allowing the patient to maintain a more normal daily routine. This option is best suited for someone with a good support system already in place and/or with some established recovery time.
Given the apparent link between video game addiction and depression, dual diagnosis treatment— treatment that addresses both the addiction and some degree of mental illness—may be necessary. It is often hard to initially know whether the gaming addiction or the depression is causing the problem. This is when a medical professional can help with finding the root cause and determining the best treatment path.
The most common therapy method to regain self-control that is lost through addiction is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Applying CBT, an addict will, with direction, learn how to change behaviors and perceptions regarding the relevance of video games. Often the addiction is the result of another underlying problem such as pre-existing depression or anxiety, which CBT can also address and teach the addict how to cope with.
CBT allows addicts to shift the way they think, replacing irrational thoughts that lead to compulsive gaming with healthier patterns of thinking. In a nutshell, CBT allows a person to learn how to modify thoughts, feelings, and ultimately resulting behaviors for the better.
Treatment begins by identifying and focusing on the thoughts that lead down the path to addictive behavior. From there, CBT techniques are introduced, learned, and practiced to overcome the thinking that culminates in compulsive gaming.
Continued research into video and computer gaming addictions will hopefully uncover information that will aid in the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment options that will further help medical professionals treat patients. In addition to the possibility of addiction, video games can substantially decrease a child or adult's physical activity. Setting boundaries and rules for kids to ensure they are getting enough exercise as opposed to sitting in front of their gaming system may aid in the prevention of a video game addiction.

The Circus Giants' Jewelry
Posted by Peg Boettcher at Dec 09, 2013
Q: What do you get when a giant sneezes?
A: Out of the way!
The Tallest Married Couple in the World
Once upon a time, there lived a couple of giants... Sounds like the beginning of a fairy tale, doesn't it? But seriously, once upon a time – the 1930s to be specific – there lived a giant lady and a giant man, and when they wed they became the tallest married couple in the world.
At least, that's how Elfriede and Gottlieb Fischer billed themselves when they carried their act around the United States with the "greatest show on earth," the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. They had already entered show biz in Germany, where they met on the vaudeville circuit as solo song-and-dance performers. After their marriage in 1933, they came to the US and traveled with various circus companies as "Mr. and Mrs. Long, the tallest married couple in the world."
Though the Fischers never admitted to their exact heights, they were thought to have reached at least 8'. Because their size was inherited – both were born into families of very tall people – and not the result of a medical abnormality, the happy couple lived to a ripe old age and passed away in their 80s.
The pot-metal ring shown here never adorned the enormous hand of either of lady or gent, in all likelihood. It was sold as a souvenir at one of the many shows the couple worked until their retirement in 1949. They ended their days managing the Pioneer Apartments in Sarasota, Florida, where they welcomed many of their entertainer friends to their winter home.
The Norwegian Giant
Johan Aasen, said to be the owner of the ruby-stone ring shown above, also made a life for himself as a showman. With an unknown father and a mother who died when he was only twelve, he was forced early to earn his own way in the world. He worked in the restaurant and hotel business and then (perhaps inevitably) entered the fair and carnival circuit as "The Norwegian Giant". In 1922 film producer Hal Roach offered John a part in "Why Worry?," starring popular comedian Harold Lloyd.
The movie made him a familiar face to the public, and from then on, John didn't lack for work. He alternated between film and fair appearances until his death in 1938 at the age of 48. Unlike the sturdy Fischers, he had been plagued with ill health all his life and had suffered hospitalization for blood poisoning, a brain tumor, and weight issues.
While some of John Aasen's remains were interred at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale, California, his skeleton is on display in the Alfred Shryock Museum of Embryology in Loma Linda University's School of Medicine.

Across the U.S., Latino families keep Three Kings Day tradition alive
Instead of Santa, the Three Kings "made much more sense with the Nativity scenes we had seen throughout Christmas," said a professor who grew up in Miami.
Jan. 6, 2019, 9:52 AM UTC
By Gwen Aviles
Ernesto Acevedo-Muñoz still remembers the excitement of being a child in Puerto Rico, anticipating the arrival of the Three Kings on Jan. 6th.
"We'd pick up grass for the camels to eat in exchange for gifts," Acevedo-Muñoz, now a professor in University of Colorado-Boulder's Department of Cinematic Studies and Moving Image Arts, said. "Then we'd put in a box and leave it under our Christmas tree, and our parents would come and take the grass to give us the illusion that the Three Wise Men came."
For Acevedo-Muñoz, picking the grass on the eve of Three Kings Day was "the most memorable practice" of the holiday.

Though the holiday's traditions vary among cultures and nationalities, many Latino families across the U.S. are maintaining a tradition popular in Spain and Latin American countries. Epiphany commemorates the biblical story of the birth of Jesus Christ. According to the gospel of Matthew, three Magi, or Wise Men —Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar —followed a star across the desert for 12 days to Bethlehem to find the baby Jesus and bring him gifts.
"My most vivid memories were the times my family went to the parade on 8th street [Calle Ocho in Miami]," said Lucia Cantero, whose family is from Spain. "It was a brightly colored and aesthetic procession and portrayal of the biblical story of the Epiphany."

As a child, Cantero was particularly struck by the "visual and ethnic diversity" the Three Kings represented.
"Los Reyes Magos made much more sense with the nativity scenes we had seen throughout Christmas, than a old white man in a beard shuttling down a chimney, with reindeers parked outside," Cantero, an assistant professor at University of San Francisco, said. "Plus, we were in Miami and no one had chimneys."

Ivette Compean Rodriguez, the executive director of the Mexican Cultural Center in Philadelphia, PA., says a cultural tradition is to place letters at the bottom of the pillow for the Three Kings to take.
If the children are good, they receive presents that morning.
"We had to behave," Cantero similarly recalled. "We were incentivized to be good, the way Americans were with Santa Claus."
In Latin America, Three Kings Day celebrations are still prevalent, as Acapulco, Mexico business owner and caterer Heidi Zimmerman Melgarejo told NBC News.
"Kids in Mexico (most of them, especially from small towns) do not ask Santa Claus for presents, but ask the Three Kings instead. They write letters that are often sent to the sky tied to a balloon."
Families feast on "Rosca de Reyes," a sugary bread that is decorated with Mexican candy called "acitrón," candied figs and cherries. These adornments, according to Zimmerman Melgarejo, symbolize the crown jewels.

There is also a special surprise hidden inside the cake: a baby Jesus figurine. Whoever finds the baby Jesus in their slice is blessed, but there are also obligations. If a person accidentally chews on it, she has to take it to church on Feb. 2 (Candlemas Day) and host a dinner for guests.
To wash down the sweet treat, families drink Mexican hot chocolate called "Abuelita."
Across the U.S., community groups and organizations in heavily Latino cities and towns have kept Epiphany traditions alive. In Philadelphia, the Mexican Cultural Center is hosting a holiday event on Sunday.
On Friday in New York City, El Museo del Barrio, dedicated to Latino and Latin American art and history, hosted its 42nd annual Three Kings Day Parade. Hundreds of people gathered in the Spanish Harlem neighborhood, many clothed in colorful costumes, wrapped in tinsel and donning capes like the Three Wise Men to celebrate the holiday.

In a nod to the growing Hispanic influence in the U.S., there are Three Kings celebrations in big venues such as Disneyland in California as well as Busch Gardens and Sea World in Florida.
For most U.S. Latino families, Christmas is a bigger celebration than Three Kings. But for many parents, Three Kings is a tradition worth keeping, even on a smaller scale.
"Día de los Reyes is about teaching children about the communal nature of celebration, about community, belonging and being grateful," said Harry Franqui Rivera, an associate professor of history at Bloomfield College in Bloomfield, New Jersey.
Rivera, who visits Puerto Rico regularly, said it's going to be a better Three Kings this year than in 2018.
"Last year, there was no holiday season in Puerto Rico because of [Hurricane]Maria," he said. "But even before Thanksgiving this year the houses were decorated and there was Christmas music."
"This year," said Rivera, "we're doing it double."

Children's musical tale in 2 acts based on the tale of Alan Milne
The kindest bear in the world, Winnie the Pooh and his friends forever fall into some stories. But it is they who will teach young viewers to come to the aid of their friends, to rejoice together and overcome difficulties, which is so necessary for true friendship!
Interestingly, the first story about Winnie the Pooh and his friends appeared on December 24, 1925, on Christmas Eve, in the London Evening News. The famous playwright Alan Milne presented to the public a new hero - a toy bear named Winnie the Pooh. This was not the first work of Milne, but here is a paradox: today, almost no one remembers his novels and plays, but Winnie the Pooh is known and, more importantly, everyone loves. It all started with the fact that the author bought his one-year-old son a toy - a teddy bear ...
Have you already decided how to please your child? Then give him a bright, kind musical performance about a bear with only sawdust in its head!

Lincoln NE- Back as a top 10 ranked team in the AP Top 25 pool for the time since 2011 the number 10 ranked Huskers fresh off a bye week head to Bloomington to take on a much improved Hoosiers team. The Huskers are off to a 5-0 start including two early conference wins. The Huskers are 2-0 in Big Ten Play with wins over Big Ten West rivals Northwestern, and Illinois. Indiana is sitting at 3-2 and will enter their third straight match up with a ranked opponent. Indiana who is 1-1 in Big Ten Play was able to knock off and knock Michigan State out of the top 25 at home two weeks ago, but wasn't able to stop Ohio State losing to the second ranked team in the nation by three scores. Will the Huskers move to 6-0? Let's take a look in depth at their match up with Indiana.
The Huskers bye week could not come at a better time as the team had a handful of players go down in their Week 5 win over Illinois. Even with the bye injuries are going to be a factor for the Huskers when they head east to Indiana. Quarterback Tommy Armstrong who will be heading into the game not 100% healthy himself is mostly likely going to be without two of his favorite weapons. Both Wide Receiver Jordan Westerkamp, and Tight End Cethan Carter are doubtful according to Head Coach Mike Riley. Running Back Devine Ozigbo who along with Terrell Newby gets the bulk of the Husker carry's out of the backfield also may not be able to go on Saturday with an ankle injury. The good news is Wide Receiver Alonzo Moore should be back for the Huskers after missing time with a shoulder injury.
The good thing for the Huskers is even without Westerkamp, and Carter the team has plenty of options. The Huskers depth in the passing game is among the best in the country expect Brandon Riley, Alonzo Moore, De'Mornay Pierson-El, and Terrell Newby who are all capable of making big plays to keep the Huskers offensive a float even without three of their big name players. Another thing to look for with the Huskers offense is Tommy Armstrong running the ball. Armstrong already has 293 rushing yards in five games when he only ran for 400 all of last season. He also has five rushing touchdowns in the first five games. He only had seven rushing touchdowns last season Having Armstrong running well is key for the Huskers success as he comes off a game where he really did not run well. Armstrong averaged 71 yards on the ground in the first four games of the season. In the Huskers Week five game VS Illinois he only ran for 12 yards. Look for the Huskers to get Armstrong running again despite having a bad ankle. Indiana does have a solid defense ranking 31st in the nation so scoring points will be no easy task for Armstrong and company despite all the talent on the roster.
On the defense side the Huskers have been great thus far. The team ranks 21st in the nation in total defense and is tied for 11th in the nation in points scored. Nebraska's defense has been great against the pass raking 21st in the nation, and has been sub par with the run defense ranking 42nd. Indiana hasn't exactly been an offensive juggernaut ranking 69th in the nation in total offense but do have some play makers the Huskers will need to shutdown.
The good news for Nebraska Indiana really relies on the passing game. The team hasn't at all been able to get things going on the ground as the team has only ran for two touchdowns in their first five games. However their passing game has been solid Quarterback Richard Lagow has a 60% completion percentage this season with 11 touchdown passes and seven picks. The key for Nebraska will be to pick Lagow off as he has averaged over a pick a game. Nebraska's defense has been great against the pass and the key this weekend to keep up that success will be locking Indiana wide receiver Nick Westbrook a sophomore standout has 431 yards, with four touchdowns including a pair of two touchdown games. Corners Josh Kalu, and Chris Jones JR will have their hands full with Westbrook.
Prediction: Indiana has played tough in their first two match ups with top 10 ranked teams beating Michigan State who has had a rough go of it so far in 2016, but were ranked as high as 8th in the nation this season and are the defending Big Ten Champions which led the Spartans to the College Football Playoff last year making a the Indiana win over Michigan State a quality one. The Hoosiers also stayed tight with #2 Ohio State for most of their Week 6 match up last Saturday but ended up falling by a score of 38-17. With all that being said it won't be a walk in the park for #10 Nebraska by any means when they visit Blommington this weekend. The Huskers will need to play some of their best football of the young season to win. However Nebraska's depth, and play makers will probably just be too much for Indiana to defeat. Nebraska should be able to easily contain the weak Indiana rushing game which has been awful in 2016 which will allow the Husker defense focus on the Hoosier passing game. Besides being banged up on offense Nebraska has a ton of depth. A name to watch is Brandon Riley the senior wide out had a monster Junior Year but hasn't been in great health to kick off 2016. Now healthy and in need of a big week look for Riley to be Armstrong's top target with no Jordan Westerkamp and to play a big part in this football game. I think both defenses will play well but Nebraska's offense is too good to be quiet all game and will be able to hold down the Hoosiers on defense. Nebraska wins to improve to 6-0 and hangs onto their Big Ten West lead.

Higher air temperature and surface disturbance due to road construction alter the surface energy balance, increase underlying permafrost temperature and thawing, and even promote the development of taliks. Infrastructure embankments essentially interact with the underlying permafrost primarily through conductive heat transfers and phase change during freeze-thaw episodes. When the embankments are located in the path of groundwater flow, convective heat transfers may be an order of magnitude more important than conductive heat transfer in the embankment (Kane et al. 2001; Kurylyk et al. 2014, 2016). Heat advection by groundwater and its impact of the thermal regime of permafrost have been poorly documented. According to short-term field observations and numerical modeling results, water flow in the soils is a key factor in the dynamics of heat transfer and permafrost degradation (McKenzie et al. 2007; Woo et al. 2008; de Grandpré et al. 2010, 2012). Lateral water flow in the active layer triggers convective heat transfers that can significantly alter the temperature of the soils, increase active layer thickness, and create supra-permafrost talik beneath embankment. Connections of talik layers develop new groundwater flow paths, which enlarge with time (along with permafrost degradation). Clearly, groundwater flow will significantly reduce the long-term stability of embankments, increase maintenance costs, and very likely reduce the life cycle of the infrastructure.
In the Beaver Creek area, south-western Yukon, a highway research facility with a road test section has been constructed in 2008. This site is well-known for the ongoing thermal degradation of the permafrost below the embankment, demonstrates significant groundwater flow, and is heavily instrumented from previous work. The current road alignment intercepts a local drainage network and it was observed that heat advection from groundwater flow promotes permafrost degradation. As active layer below slopes and toes of embankment deepened over time, thawed permafrost (originally ice-rich) yielded ground subsidence and the road settled, unevenly, over time. As coarse embankment material (sand and gravel) with large interstitial voids subsides, it intercepts the water table, increases the permeability of the water storage media and yields more groundwater (positive feedback). In spring and summer, snowmelt water and rainfall saturate the thawed soil and water stored at the toe of embankment allows lateral flow in the active layer and in taliks. Furthermore, groundwater flow that gets trapped under the road before winter significantly delays freeze back of the active layer which contributes to general higher permafrost temperature. A network of groundwater monitoring wells, piezometers and thermistor cables was installed along the sides and under the centerline of the road to estimate groundwater flow and its thermal impact on the permafrost beneath the embankment.
The complex interaction between transportation infrastructure, groundwater flow, and underlying permafrost remains poorly understood and quantified and none of these studies have been based on long term field observations. Our study site provides an opportunity to investigate the convective heat transfer linked to groundwater, notably within taliks. The general objective of my project is to develop fully-coupled numerical thermal model based on field studies and to evaluate the potential response of permafrost and infrastructure to groundwater flow and climate change. The specific objectives are: 1) Improve the knowledge of groundwater flow paths and refreezing process in active layer and talik region beneath an embankment; 2) Develop a fully coupled heat-water-deformation model to investigate the impact of seepage on thermal regime and deformation of the subgrade; 3) Evaluate the long-term performance of mitigation techniques submitted to groundwater flow and warming climate. This study will also help to better understand the development of longitudinal settlement and to improve the design of mitigation techniques and drainage system in cold region.


Dating back to the 1500s, Mount Edgcumbe estate is an historic jewel in Cornwall's heritage, with an intriguing past and rumours of ghosts that linger to the present day.
For those who venture onto the Rame peninsula to visit, there are 865 acres of county park to explore, including spectacular Grade I formal gardens, a folly, a grotto and a temple, all of this set against the backdrop of the River Tamar, with Plymouth against the skyline.
We started, as most do, at the Barrow Centre, known as the heart of the park and named for the Bronze Age burial mound located in the park. There is a charge which goes towards the upkeep of the estate which is run partly by Cornwall Council and Plymouth City Council.
At the Barrow Centre, there are many temptations to divert you from your walk, ranging from Segway to several lovely little shops and galleries. We persevered however and from here followed signs to Mount Edgcumbe House, turning a corner to be confronted by the glorious Grade II listed building, with a terrace which overlooked the beautiful grassy slope of The Avenue which leads down to the banks of the Tamar, offering stunning views over to Devonport on the other side of the river.
We strolled (or in the case of the children ran and rolled) down The Avenue, all the way to the gates of the park where you find the Cremyll foot ferry to Plymouth and The Formal Gardens. These are very beautiful with English, French and Italian gardens among others, and an ornate fountain centrepiece. We strolled through these past The Orangerie restaurant and then out along the South West Coast Path.
From here we passed the Garden Battery and Blockhouse, a small fort built on the shoreline in King Henry VIII's reign. After strolling along the peaceful wooded banks of the river we soon reached the Amphitheatre and Milton's Temple. This is a really beautiful place on the water's edge. Built in 1755 it is a circular Ionic temple, with a plaque inscribed with lines from the poem Paradise Lost, 'overhead up grew, Insuperable heights of loftiest shade…..' John Milton, (1608 – 1674), a reference to the shroud of trees surrounding the slim white stone of the structure.
A winding path then took us up to The Folly, an 18th century artificial ruin built of stone salvaged from local churches. The Folly has spectacular views of Drake's Island and Plymouth Sound, and it was a beautiful place to stop for a while.
Continuing on beyond Lady Emma's Cottage, now a holiday let, we wound our way up the steep paths named the Zig-zags which take you through exotic shrubs and archways. Eventually, we reached the pretty stone shelter of Picklecombe Seat. Like the Folly, this shelter was built with medieval stone from nearby churches. Beneath it stand the private apartments of Picklecombe Fort, once part of Plymouth's Victorian defences. We continued through the woods and inland, out into the open landscape of the Deer Park, eventually wending our way to pretty Maker Church, site of worship for the Edgcumbe family and the local community for centuries. We were pleased to reach the road back down into the heart of the park at this point, and followed signs for the short home stretch back to the Barrow Centre where we began.
We stopped off while the children, now suddenly finding renewed energy enjoyed time in the play area, peeked at sleeping bats via the batcam and ice cream while we grown-ups enjoyed coffee and cake at The Stables Café. We reflected as we left that there is still so much to do at Mount Edgcumbe. There are shops, exhibits and opportunities to cycle or even ride around the estate. For us, however, it has been a wonderful exploration on foot.
Find it: You reach Mount Edgcumbe from Cornwall by following signs from Trerulefoot to the Torpoint ferry, and then taking the A374 and B3247 (brown signs) to Millbrook and from there just three miles to Mount Edgcumbe.
Facilities: There are toilets, the Stables Café and a car park as well as several shops at the Barrow Centre. Follow signs from the main entrance.

GOOD EVANS – NEATH SIGN TWO !
Neath RFC is pleased to announce the first pair of their summer recruits.
Centre LEWIS EVANS comes on board from from Maesteg Quins. A Neath College graduate, Lewis hails from Resolven (whom his father captained) and he has also played for Bedwas in the Premiership. Lewis played 1 game previously for Neath (the 19-5 win over Llandovery in 2017/18). He also has the versatility to play at full back and outside-half and can kick goals.
Former Neath outside-half IWAN EVANS is returning to the Club from Llanelli. Iwan, who hails from nearby Ystradgynlais, has made 80 appearances for the Welsh All Blacks but departed for a spell in New Zealand in 2018/19. On returning to Wales, he joined Llanelli where he also appeared at full back and centre last season.
The pair will be valuable additions to The Gnoll squad as the Blacks seek to build upon last season's successes.
Coach Patrick Horgan said, "We are pleased to welcome both Lewis and Iwan back to The Gnoll.
"They are still relatively young players and have a solid block of experience behind them. Being from the locality is important to us and to the supporters too.
"Lewis and Iwan have proven qualities and their versatility will be a bonus in our drive to the top."

It sounds like a great book. I buy a great number of haiku books and my book budget is bust for this month. Long ago I appeared in Robert Epstein's The Temple Bell Stops: Contemporary Poems of Grief, Loss and Change (Modern English Tanka Press 2012) ed. Robert Epstein.
I am so happy to connect with you here. I always enjoy seeing your poetry. I was thrilled when Robert contacted me about using some of my haiga in his book! And now I see it is nominated for a Touchstone. It is a lovely book and I am proud to be part of it.
Thank you for popping in to visit !

There are essentially three things we all have to know about unique red and turquoise area rug 38 photos home earlier we get it done. First, we have to acknowledge the substance: pick one solid and sturdy cloth which is maybe not tough to clean or readily broken. We could determine by the kind of forests used. After that, we can tell it is a nice one from the designthat fit with the design together with the room we desire to buy to be placed into. The past, make sure we have researched some of their deals in certain in shops or internet retailers. Evaluate and see the reviews. Remember to our chamber using one good partner. Make our household comfortable.
Then, why should unique red and turquoise area rug 38 photos home? Since it has said before that the multi function is better substitute for pick. And also the medication cabinet with mirror as the medicine cabinet door is multifunction. In addition to that, additionally, it will be helpful for that look of this rug, rather than simply use the common door, mirror doorway will probably be a good choice to choose. But, get several in one thing will probably be good choice.
First that you are not going to receive limitation. Things you want to use would be rug curtain. It should seem trendy because there are a few choices and designs of curtains you could choose for the rug. You may choose the one which is suitable with design of your rug. 2nd, you are certain to get milder rug.
As you will find numerous selections of unique red and turquoise area rug 38 photos home with various style and design, it is very important to decide on the perfect one which will suit the tone and theme of their rug. Make it standalone isn't a suitable decision because it will be more appropriate to create it mix with the motif design of the rug. In this manner the rug motif and also the all elements, furniture and appliance of this rug will combine together and harmonize the rug.

VANCOUVER, BC – July 23, 2007 – Mirasol Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: MRZ; Frankfurt: M8R) is pleased to announce results from its 100%-owned Libanesa high-grade silver (gold, lead) project. The previously unexplored Libanesa project encompasses 50 square kilometres of granted cateos (claims) with an additional 150 square kilometres under application, in prospective Jurassic-age volcanic units of Santa Cruz Province, southern Argentina.
Reconnaissance prospecting and rock chip sampling at Libanesa returned anomalous silver, lead and gold from a series of parallel sub-meter wide breccias and veins, which crop out intermittently within a 500 metre long structural trend. Assay results from a 170 metre-long, higher-grade section within the trend returned values ranging from 2.6 g/t to 2802.0 g/t silver. Four sub-metre select samples of galena-matrix breccia, which subcrop over a forty metre strike length, assayed over 1000 g/t silver, with up to 30% lead and up to 2.2 g/t gold. Outcrop of the high grade zone continues to the southeast where it is covered by younger sediments.
A high resolution ground magnetics survey undertaken by Mirasol highlights a five kilometre-long structure which hosts Libanesa mineralization. Interpretation of survey results suggests that the structure hosting high-grade outcrop continues under recent cover, and joins with a small outcrop of silver-lead anomalous breccia located 600 metres to the southeast. Mirasol has initiated a gradient array IP geophysics survey, geological mapping and detailed sampling to better define the potential of the mineralized zone.
The Libanesa project represents a new style of base and precious metals mineralization being recognized in Santa Cruz Province. The high silver to gold ratio and trace element association suggest some similarities to Coeur d'Alene's bonanza-grade silver Martha mine located 160 kilometres to the southwest.
Mirasol Resources Ltd. has pioneered the use of leading edge technology to explore the partially covered extensions of mineralized systems in Santa Cruz Province. The Libanesa discovery builds on in-house technological and geological expertise acquired at the Espejo and Claudia projects, thought to host the structural extensions of Panamerican Silver's Manantial Espejo (50 M oz silver and 0.8 M oz gold) deposit and Anglogold Ashanti's Cerro Vanguardia (5.1 M oz gold) vein field, respectively (see news releases dated January 16, 2007, and August 3, and October 3, 2006).

Vegivores
On January 24, 2020 January 1, 2021 By ediblereadingIn Reviews
Vegivores was probably the most keenly-anticipated opening of last year, and certainly one of the restaurants I got asked to review most often. Not only that, but it also probably received more buzz online in the last couple of months of 2019 than anywhere else: everywhere I looked, on Twitter and Instagram, I saw people raving about the food, be it brunch or dinner. It's no-reservations, and I heard frequent reports that it could be difficult to get a table there; the first few months are often incredibly difficult for a new restaurant, but Vegivores clearly got off to a flying start.
The buzz makes perfect sense to me. Vegivores is a proper success story – a journey (so sorry for using that word) from serving street food at Reading's markets, every Wednesday and Friday in all weathers, to taking on permanent residence in Caversham's precinct. That they've opened their plant-based restaurant next to gammon specialists the Caversham Butcher gives me enormous pleasure, even if I'm not sure whether it's a happy coincidence or good old-fashioned epic trolling (I always get in trouble for talking about politics or Caversham, so let's leave it at that).
And then, of course, there's the meat-free factor: Vegivores is one of Reading's only entirely meat free restaurants – along with Bhel Puri House and the Global Café – and that's a sizeable market with very few players in it. It's entirely a coincidence that I happened to review them in a month when many people are choosing to go vegetarian or vegan, but I'm sure many people doing that would have actively considered a visit to Vegivores.
I can imagine there would be many more natural people to review Vegivores than me. A proper vegetarian or vegan, for a start: I've never made a secret of being a meat-loving omnivore, and although I've been known to order meat-free starters it's very rare for me to pick a vegetarian main course. I went through a phase a few years ago of deliberately ordering a vegetarian main course once a month when on duty, and although it definitely exposed the paucity of options for vegetarians and vegans it didn't leave me itching to make changes to my diet. Nonetheless, I headed over to Caversham on a wet and miserable weekday evening with my other half Zoë to see whether Vegivores would change my mind about plant-based food.
The room was long, thin and nicely done – pretty intimate, with the counter and the open kitchen down one side and the tables along the other. There was plenty of tasteful almost-Scandi bare wood, although the chairs and the wooden banquette weren't the comfiest. I liked it, even so – it probably had about 30 covers, so I can see it could easily fill up, and even on a truly dismal evening the place was about half-full. It was also nice to have a view of the kitchen, and the pass is under very fetching spotlights which means you can see other people's food about to to be taken to their tables (and adjust your own order accordingly to have what they're having).
The evening menu was nicely compact, with a small selection of starters and nibbles (most around the six or seven pound mark) and eight main courses, with an additional special on the night we visited. There was a bit of duplication – a couple of the starters appeared as larger versions in the main courses – but even so I felt like it was a decent range and I easily could have ordered numerous dishes in both sections. If you're used to being confined to the one token plant-based dish on the menu in restaurants, seeing this might well make you drop to your knees and weep salty tears of gratitude.
The menu doesn't specifically list items as vegetarian or vegan, and Vegivores' website doesn't use either V word, so it wasn't entirely clear to me whether the yoghurt, mayonnnaise, ice cream and so on were vegan, although I assumed they were. It was a good drinks list, too – wines were all organic, there were some excellent bottled beers and ciders (most either organic or local or both) and a couple of local beers on draft. I had a Santo by Siren Craft – priced at three ninety-five for two thirds of a pint – and Zoë had a bottle of alcohol-free Riedenburger. It didn't make her feel any happier about being on antibiotics.
Zoë and I both picked starters which could also be ordered as mains, to try and give a better view of the full range of the menu. Mine was the "fishless cakes", a vegan take on fishcakes with smoked tofu instead of cod or haddock, and some nori to boot. The presentation was attractive, with the three cakes bookended with lemon slices and topped with what was meant to be caper salsa but contained a grand total (I counted: I'm sad like that) of one caper.
As a dish I found it problematic – the taste was pleasant, although the smoke didn't come through strongly, but the texture let it down. It was so crumbly that it didn't hold together at all, and that lack of structure meant it didn't feel like either a fishcake or a potato cake, instead being strangely mealy. I very much liked the dill mayo, which had a sharp taste reminiscent of salad cream, and I would have liked more capers to add acidity.
Zoe's dish had similar challenges. Tofu skewers came with a ramekin of satay sauce, and although the satay itself was delicious with plenty of depth and complexity the tofu needed more by way of texture, even if it was going to inevitably lack flavour of itself. Interestingly, if you order this as a main course the skewers come covered in the sauce: that might be a better way to serve the starter. Zoë's favourite bit of the starter was the pickled ginger cabbage which came with it, and I agreed – it suggested the kitchen's strengths might lie with plants rather than meat substitutes.
I think I would have been disappointed by either of those dishes as a main course, which is why I was so relieved that our main courses, when they arrived, stepped things up considerably.
I had changed my order after seeing the barbecue jackfruit burger up at the pass, and it was a very interesting dish. I'd managed to make it to 2020 without ever eating jackfruit (although I've heard it described as the vegan answer to pulled pork many times) and it's definitely an ingenious substitute. I enjoyed its fibrous texture, married with a slightly-sour barbecue sauce, and it played perfectly against the smashed avocado underneath. But, as with the fishless cake, it didn't quite hold together as a patty which made for an even messier, sloppier experience than, say, an Honest burger. I liked the creole slaw it came with, dry and mayo-free with a faint hint of something like chipotle, but I wasn't convinced by the herby potatoes where the texture hinted of being pan-fried without enough oil to properly bring them to life.
Zoë on the other hand adored her main – makhanwala, a vegetable curry with salad, chutney, yoghurt and rice. I only got a forkful but I tended to think she had ordered better than me: it had heat and plenty of depth, the cauliflower was terrific and had a little bite and the decision to use brown rather than white rice made the whole thing substantial, warming and hugely comforting. It was a wonderful thing to eat as the rain lashed the precinct outside and, crucially, it was the only savoury course that didn't make me slightly miss meat. Zoë also ordered (but didn't really need) a side order of bread: the four slices felt a little unspecial for £2.50 and I'll take a lot of convincing that there's a satisfactory vegan alternative to butter.
The dessert menu was pretty compact, but we both managed to find something on it to order. My melon and prosecco sorbet was a clever idea and beautifully presented with berries, mint and edible flowers, and it tasted fresh and clean. I would have liked the prosecco to come through more, but the real issue was the texture, with big ice crystals in each scoop. I liked it, but I'm not sure I six pounds liked it. Vegivores has a pretty decent selection of dessert wines, so I had my sorbet with a glass of golden passito: it could have been lovely, but it needed to be served chilled. I didn't mention that at the time because I didn't think they could have fixed it, and I'd rather have slightly cold dessert wine than no dessert wine at all – in any case, the sorbet was quite cold enough to make up for it.
Zoë was far happier with her brownie with vanilla ice cream. I know there's some debate about whether brownies belong on a dessert menu (I have a friend who likes to say it's not a dessert, it's a cake: it's a hill he'd gladly die on). That philosophical debate aside, I also thought the brownie was decent but – again – texture was an issue. It tasted good, but was crumblier than a truly great brownie should be. I didn't know whether the ice cream was vegan or not – that cryptic menu again – but it was possibly a good sign that I couldn't tell.
Service was excellent all evening – engaged, friendly, interested and clearly passionate about Vegivores. Our server had been working there since it opened in October and she was obviously very proud of what they'd achieved in a short space of time. Our meal for two – three courses and a couple of drinks each – came to seventy-two pounds, not including tip: decent value, overall.
Writing restaurant reviews is a funny thing: the act of mentally digesting your meal can carry on long after you've left the place. Sometimes the passage of time makes you appreciate just how good a meal was, sometimes the initial enthusiasm fades away and distance removes enchantment. In the case of Vegivores I thought about it far longer than I normally do, because it involved considering other angles: should I be comparing it with other plant-based food, or with everything I've eaten? Did it have to be "good for vegan" or good full stop?
I got assistance from an unlikely source. Vegivores' co-owner Kevin Farrell was interviewed in November by the excellent Bloody Vegans Podcast (even if you're not a vegan it's worth checking out their interview with Tom Bursnall, the owner of Miami Burger: eye-opening doesn't begin to do it justice) and listening to the interview helped enormously when trying to decide how to approach Vegivores.
In it, Kevin said that not using the V word was a deliberate choice because of the connotations often attached to that word (only last year the Guardian of all places published an article simply entitled "Why do people hate vegans?"). So although everything is suitable for vegans – vegan mayo, vegan yoghurt, vegan ice cream, oat milk as the default in all hot drinks – that explained why the menu didn't expressly say so. I sort of understand the reasoning, but I still think it wouldn't do any harm to be clearer.
He also said that he wanted not only to offer an entirely plant-based menu but to show that eating a plant-based diet could be healthy as well as tasty (no doubt with other restaurants like Miami Burger in mind). So, for instance, Vegivores is proud of not deep-frying anything. Again, it makes perfect sense, but it also might explain why my fishless cakes lacked a bit of structure and my herby potatoes were a tad wan.
But the thing that struck home most was Kevin saying that the restaurant gets, and is keen to attract, an omnivore clientele as well – so not just vegans and friends of vegans but presumably people who are considering a vegan lifestyle or simply want to cut down their meat consumption, whether that's for environmental reasons, health reasons or of course unease about the way animals are treated.
That's the point where I realised that rating them as a vegan restaurant, rather than a restaurant pure and simple, was missing the point. Patronising, too: I remember many years back when I reviewed Nibsy's tying myself in knots deciding whether to talk about gluten. I admire Vegivores for wanting to be thought of as a restaurant that happens to be vegan (although they would no doubt use a different term) rather than a vegan restaurant, with the many associations attached to that phrase.
So did Vegivores do enough to convert this omnivore? Not quite, I think. Much of the time they were close on flavour, and I do think it's impressive to offer a vegan mayonnaise or vegan ice cream which don't feel like they involve any compromises. But food is also about texture, and that's where I felt Vegivores fell down somewhat, whether it was crumbly fishcakes, that brownie, or jackfruit that didn't really hold together. It still felt to me like something was missing and – with the exception of the vegetable curry, probably the most conventional and "authentic" dish we tried – none of it was quite powerful enough to make me feel like constraining my choice by eating there.
You may well disregard this as the preconceptions of an omnivore who is too much of a carnivore to be completely open-minded. Perhaps that's true, but at least I acknowledge that possibility. Many people whose opinions I respect love Vegivores – Zoë enjoyed her meal far more than I did, for instance – so I may have to accept that this is one occasion where I just don't quite get it. I love their story, I admire what they're trying to build but it's difficult for me to envisage an occasion when Vegivores would be my first choice. Not that it matters: there's huge integrity to what they're doing and I'm sure they will do extremely well.
I will say this, though – whether or not I fully appreciated Vegivores, they are one of the most significant restaurants to open in Reading for a very long time. It's a clear statement of intent to every restaurant – in Caversham and in the rest of Reading – that pays lip service to meat-free food just for the sake of having an item on the menu, or to exploit the vegan pound. Vegivores is coming for those restaurants: if they carry on doing that, Vegivores will take their customers and their business and go from strength to strength. Even though they weren't quite my cup of tea, they'll absolutely deserve to.

Walmart's Workforce of the Future
07 Jul 2019HBS Case
by Julia Hanna
07 Jul 2019| by Julia Hanna
A case study by William Kerr explores Walmart's plans for future workforce makeup and training, and its search for opportunities from digital infrastructure and automation.
Any discussion of the future of retail—or how we work—has to include Walmart. As of 2017, 90 percent of the US population lived within 10 miles of a Walmart store; with 11,766 locations worldwide and $514 billion in annual revenues, the discount store also has the distinction of being the largest private employer in the United States, with 1.5 million workers (2.2 million worldwide).
But that size and dominance doesn't make Walmart immune to pressures faced by any other retail operation. In the second-year Harvard Business School course Managing the Future of Work, Professor William Kerr explores how technology and demographics are changing the way companies like Walmart, and their workers, operate.
"The pace of change in the retail sector is truly extraordinary," says Kerr, the D'Arbeloff Professor of Business Administration and co-director of Harvard's Managing the Future of Work initiative. "That requires a lot of reskilling of employees and hard choices, in an uncertain environment, in terms of how to deploy capital."
"This digital transformation creates new jobs, but, more important, it changes the nature of jobs, even entry-level ones."
Kerr captures that dilemma by detailing the scope of Walmart's operations and current strategies in the case "Walmart's Workforce of the Future." Published in April, it offers an overview of the considerable investments the retail giant is making in its e-commerce infrastructure, in its employee training and support, and in technological innovations such as robot workers and in-house incubators.
Walmart fights a revenue drop
The case details how the rise of ecommerce (and the success of Amazon in particular) affected Walmart's discount stores (which sell general merchandise but limited grocery items), resulting in a decrease in annual revenue at those stores from $142.5 billion in 2009 to 97.7 billion in 2018. During the same time period, revenue at Walmart's "supercenters" (larger stores that also sell groceries and often include services such as eye care, beauty salons, and photo studios) increased by 16 percent, from $409.9 billion to $476.2 billion. (Walmart closed 2,214 discount stores or converted them into other formats from 1993 to 2018, with 2,576 supercenters opening during that time.)
In addition to increasing Walmart's supercenter footprint, CEO Doug McMillon's omnichannel strategy focuses on a seamless approach to the customer experience, with an emphasis on employee training and improved ecommerce and automation technology, both on the floor and in back office roles.
One foundational move to beef up its technology was Walmart's $3.3 billion acquisition of online retailer Jet.com in 2016, an investment that immediately improved its ecommerce infrastructure. Walmart has also piloted and invested in robots to perform a variety of functions, from unloading trucks to scrubbing floors to scanning shelves and bringing items out of storage for curbside delivery orders. But public statements by senior executives made it clear that Walmart was equally committed to the complex, costly effort required to train its human workers.
"I want to be clear that we don't believe technology is the answer to everything," McMillon stated in a 2017 annual shareholder meeting. "The secret to success will always be our people. … It will be our humanity that drives our creativity, powers our competitive spirit, and keeps us out in front."
Technology changes the nature of work
But at the same meeting, McMillon also acknowledged how technology changes the nature of work itself, a perspective echoed by Walmart Chief Sustainability Officer and Walmart Foundation President Kathleen McLaughlin. "…we're now a tech company as much as a retail company," Mc Laughlin said. "This digital transformation creates new jobs, but, more important, it changes the nature of jobs, even entry-level ones."
Those demands require more of workers—and an equivalent commitment to re-skilling and compensation. In the case, Kerr cites Walmart's investments in wages and training for employees of $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion in 2015 and 2016—part of a move that boosted starting pay for frontline associates from $9 per hour in 2015 to $10 in 2016 (it hit $11 per hour in early 2018). Yet in 2015, announcement of a wage increase resulted in a share price drop the following day of 10 percent, on news that the increase would cut earnings per share by 6 to 12 percent in 2016. It's a dynamic that lays bare for MBA students the consequences of senior leadership's choices, says Kerr.
"It's easy to be critical and say that Walmart should be doing more, but when students review the company's actions over the past five years, they have to confront the fact that every time the minimum wage went up, the stock price went down—and meanwhile, competitors have better margins."
The case also outlines Walmart's approach to training its workers, including its focus on building long-term, transferable skills through efforts such as Pathways, a program that teaches associates about the retail business model, explains the "why" behind the work they're asked to do, and helps develop the soft skills that are useful in any field. Workers who completed the program received a raise and had increased job opportunities; however, many complained that it lacked clarity and that it took too long to move through the various modules. While Walmart planned for 500,000 employees to go through Pathways in 2016, the initial rollout was considerably lower; as a result, Walmart needed to revamp some parts of the program to speed up its completion rate. (Its Academies program, focused on training and empowering hourly supervisors to directly manage team members, faced similar challenges.)
In another move to build a more skilled, educated workforce, Walmart introduced a program in 2018 that offered workers the opportunity to enroll in online degree programs for $1 a day in business, technology, and supply chain management at three different universities; in June 2019, the program expanded to six universities and 14 areas of study, including cybersecurity and computer science. Widely hailed in the press for the opportunity it offers workers to graduate from college debt-free, the program has seen 7,500 employee enrollments in its first year.
"There's so much to unpack in the choices that Walmart is making," Kerr says, remarking that management has also introduced virtual reality goggles to train employees as well as an app, Spark City, that uses a game-type simulation to teach workers about store processes and customer service. Walmart has even crossed over with the gig economy by partnering with platforms including DoorDash, Postmates, Uber, and Lyft for package and grocery delivery.
'You're the CEO of Walmart'
So, is Walmart making the right investments for its future? "We spend a lot of time in conversation in this class," says Kerr. "I'll say, 'You're the CEO of Walmart. What would you have done differently? In 2030, what will your workforce look like? How much of your sales will be in-store, and how much online?
"An early indication of the uncertainty of the future is that, with a bunch of smart MBAs, we had a wide, wide range of opinions as to what the future looks like. From some putting all their chips on ecommerce to others who see Walmart as having a powerful position, particularly in more rural areas, where it can be the one place you go to get your prescriptions, do your shopping, and pick up your ecommerce packages—so building on that, rather than trying to become Amazon."
Analysts generally give Walmart strong marks for how its investments in technology and training have set it up to compete.
"The progress that they've made and the strength they still possess has been working out for them to a good degree," says Kerr. But it's too soon to tell whether they have established themselves in a way that will allow them to truly excel. "That's where the jury is still out. They are still defining the Walmart of the future."

.. highlight:: console

------------------
Basic Installation
------------------

Recommended Installation
------------------------

The easiest way to install lcopt is via conda. This ensures the version of Python (3.6) is correct, all of the dependencies are correct and there are no conflicts.
You can also do it in only 3 commands.

If you don't have conda installed yet, first install Miniconda (available `here <https://conda.io/miniconda.html>`_)

1) On the command line/console, create a new environment called lcopt::

    conda create -n lcopt python=3.6

2) Activate the lcopt environment using one of these::

    # Mac/Linux
    source activate lcopt
    # Windows
    activate lcopt

3) Install lcopt::

	conda install -y -q -c conda-forge -c cmutel -c haasad -c pjamesjoyce lcopt

.. _bw2_setup_step:

-----------------------------------------------------
Setting up brightway2 for lcopt
-----------------------------------------------------

To use the interactive analysis feature, you need to set up brightway2 to play nicely with lcopt.

Lcopt needs to set up its own brightway project template so that it can create a new brightway project for each of your models using this template.

Step 1. Download the Ecoinvent 3.3 cutoff database (Ecoinvent license required)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.. note:: Note - if you don't have an ecoinvent license but want to try out lcopt, it can also be used with the freely available FORWAST database :ref:`forwast_setup_step`.

Log into `ecoinvent.org  <http://www.ecoinvent.org/login-databases.html>`_ and go to the Files tab

Download the file called ``ecoinvent 3.3_cutoff_ecoSpold02.7z``

Extract the file somewhere sensible on your machine, you might need to download `7-zip <http://www.7-zip.org/download.html>`_ to extract the files.

Make a note of the path of the folder that contains the .ecospold files, its probably ``<path/extracted/to>/datasets/``

Step 2a. lcopt-bw2-setup at the command line
--------------------------------------------

.. highlight:: console

At the command line type::

	lcopt-bw2-setup path/to/ecospold/files # use "" if there are spaces in your path

Step 2b. Or run the setup utility in a jupyter notebook/python shell
--------------------------------------------------------------------

.. highlight:: python

Fire up your chosen python shell, then use::

	from lcopt.utils import lcopt_bw2_setup
	ecospold_path = r'path/to/ecospold/files' # put your own path in here
	lcopt_bw2_setup(ecospold_path)

It'll take a while, but once its done it'll return ``True`` if it worked properly.

Running the setup utility in a python shell also allows you to overwrite your existing configuration if something has gone wrong by using ``lcopt_bw2_setup(ecospold_path, overwrite=True)``

.. _forwast_setup_step:

---------------------------
Alternative setup - FORWAST
---------------------------

Lcopt can be used without an ecoinvent license by using the `FORWAST <http://forwast.brgm.fr/>`_ database instead.

Option 1. Download lcopt_bw2_setup.py and use that instead
----------------------------------------------------------

.. highlight:: console

At the command line type::

	lcopt-bw2-setup-forwast

Option 2. Run the setup utility in a jupyter notebook/python shell
------------------------------------------------------------------

.. highlight:: python

Fire up your chosen python shell, then use::

	from lcopt.utils import lcopt_bw2_forwast_setup
	lcopt_bw2_forwast_setup()

It'll take a while, but once its done it'll return ``True`` if it worked properly.

As above, you can overwrite an existing configuration using ``overwrite=True``

ROME (Reuters) - Twelve migrant labourers died on Monday in southern Italy when the van they were travelling in smashed into a lorry, local officials said.
Local media said all the dead came from north Africa and had been returning home after spending the day working in the fields in the province of Foggia, close to the Adriatic Sea.
Pictures from the scene showed a white minivan flipped on its roof and lying in the middle of the road following a head-on collision with a lorry that had been carrying flour.
Thousands of migrants work in the Italian agriculture sector, harvesting fruit and vegetables for often only a few euros an hour.

Besides maximising your living space and creating it much more comfortable, a loft conversion will have an ideal influence on your property's worth. In fact, a loft extension or conversion is becoming well-liked nowadays, with more and more homeowners considering it as a price-efficient yet hassle-totally free alternative over buying a larger house. Whilst transforming an attic is undoubtedly worthwhile pocket-sensible, it is equally a stressful process to pick a loft conversion idea that goes with the current design of your home. So read on to learn about the various types of loft extensions or conversions, which primarily include Hip to Gable, Dormer and Mansard conversions.
Ideal for detached and semi-detached houses with hipped roofs, the hip to gable is primarily performed on roofs consisting of more than two slopes. In other words, it is regarded as a intelligent answer for lofts with space constraint. This conversion type will extend the hipped roof's ridge line thus efficiently swapping the slopping roof with a flat gable wall that is perpendicular to your property's overall height. The outcome is elevated space, which even enables you to add a staircase, in addition to lavishly supplying for what ever you intend with this conversion, be it a new bedroom, a study room, a kids' play region, a lounge space or an entertainment zone. Maybe the best thing about a neatly undertaken hip to gable conversion is that it will seamlessly blend with the existing aspects of your property.
Since it can be effortlessly carried out on various property styles, from detached and semi-detached to finish of terrace and terraced houses, Dormer conversion is considered the most versatile of all types of conversions. It is regarded as most suitable for smaller sized as nicely as lower loft. In a Dormer loft conversion, the current roof of your house will be extended, with interiors comprising horizontal ceiling and vertical walls. The add-on is a larger area with increased light and head-height. A distinctive characteristic of a loft converted to dormer is that it will fairly often project out from the property's roofline. Dormer conversions are additional categorised into flat roof dormer, gable fronted dormer and hipped roof dormer.
When it comes to Mansard, it is regarded as the most complicated and expensive of all attic conversion options available, as it mostly involves in depth renovation of your property's existing roof. Nevertheless, if undertaken successfully, it guarantees to maximise the value and space of your loft, regardless of the existing design and style of your property.
