EEF Blog: Social and emotional learning - supporting schools to move beyond 'what we do already'
Today, sees the publication of our latest guidance report, Improving Social and Emotional Learning in Primary Schools, co-authored with the Early Intervention Foundation. Here, our chief executive, Sir Kevan Collins, introduces it, highlighting how schools can integrate its evidence-based recommendations into everyday class teaching...
Ask any primary school teacher, and they will tell you that, alongside the 'core business' of teaching literacy and numeracy, a large and often unrecognised part of their job involves addressing children's emotional, social and behavioural needs.
With the right support, children learn to articulate and manage their emotions, deal with conflict, solve problems, understand things from another person's perspective, and communicate in appropriate ways. These 'social and emotional skills' are essential for children's development, support effective learning, and are linked to positive outcomes in later life.
However, many schools feel that there's little time for developing such skills, given the pressure to improve attainment. Although all schools are expected to deliver Personal, Social, and Health Education (PSHE), it has not been a statutory requirement in the primary phase and in practice is often squeezed out.
Few teachers receive support on how they can develop social and emotional skills in their mainstream teaching. This is a missed opportunity because, when carefully implemented, social and emotional learning can increase positive pupil behaviour, mental health and well-being, and academic performance.
It is especially important for children from disadvantaged backgrounds, and other vulnerable groups, who, on average, have weaker social and emotional skills than their peers.
That is why we have developed this latest guidance report, Improving Social and Emotional Learning in Primary Schools.
Six recommendations for improving social and emotional learning in primary schools
Download PDF get_app
View report All guidance reports
At a time when schools are reviewing their core vision and curriculum offer, and planning to implement statutory Relationships and Health education, this guidance offers six practical and evidence-based recommendations to support children's social and emotional development.
It provides a starting point for schools to review their current approaches, and suggests practical ideas they can implement. Importantly, it argues that such approaches can be woven into everyday class teaching without creating burdensome new programmes of work.
To arrive at the recommendations, we reviewed the best available international research and consulted with teachers and other experts. We identified a group of core skills and strategies that occur frequently in social and emotional learning programmes that have good evidence of impact, and suggest ways of embedding these in the classroom and beyond.
The international evidence in this area is extensive, but knowledge of how best to implement it in English schools is not yet as strong as we would like. An over-arching recommendation, therefore, focuses on the importance of implementing and monitoring progress carefully, and the requirement for school leaders to prioritise this work if it is to have an impact.
Although some schools may feel social and emotional learning is 'what we do already', the evidence suggests that how SEL is adopted and embedded really matters for children's outcomes.
As with all our guidance reports, publication of this guidance report is just the start.
We will now be working with the sector, including through our colleagues in the Research Schools Network, to build on the recommendations with further training, resources, and partnership. And, as ever, we will be looking to support and test the most promising programmes that put the lessons from the research into practice.

Martin Pierre - Denis, 1663 - 1742

Château de Marly the Marly Aquaduct to the right
72 x 157 cm. (28.1/2 x 62 in.)
The Château de Marly was a relatively small French royal residence located in what has become Marly-le-Roi, the commune that existed at the edge of the royal park. The town that originally grew up to service the château is now a dormitory community for Paris.
At the Château of Marly, Louis XIV of France escaped from the formal rigors he was constructing at Versailles. Small rooms meant less company, and simplified protocol; courtiers, who fought among themselves for invitations to Marly, were housed in a revolutionary design of twelve pavilions built in matching pairs flanking the central sheets of water, which were fed one from the other by prim formalized cascades (illustration, right).
The château is no more, nor the hydraulic "machine" that pumped water for Versailles. Only the foundation of Jules Hardouin-Mansart's small château, the pavillon du Roi remains at the top of the slope in Marly park.
The works at Marly were begun in the spring of 1679, on 22 May, before Louis had moved his court permanently to Versailles. The king was looking for a retreat on well-wooded royal lands between Versailles and Saint-Germain-en-Laye that were well-watered and provided a grand view. Marly was chosen.
Robert Berger has demonstrated that the design of Marly was a full collaboration between Jules Hardouin-Mansart and the premier peintre Charles Le Brun, who were concurrently working on the Galerie des Glaces at Versailles. Mansart's elevations for the pavilions were to be frescoed to designs adapted from a suite that Le Brun had recently drawn and the frescoed exteriors of the otherwise somewhat severe buildings created a richly Baroque ensemble of feigned sculptures against draperies and hangings, with vases on feigned sculptural therms against the piers— all in the somewhat eclectic Olympian symbolism that Le Brun and the King favoured everywhere at Versailles.
The decor of the pavillon du Roi featured Apollo, the Sun King's iconographic persona, and Thetis. Other pavilions were dedicated to other Olympians, but also to Hercules, and to Victory, Fame and Abundance. Construction was completed by 1684, though the overcharged painted programmes were simplified and restrained in the execution.
The Sun King attended the opening of the completed hydraulic works in June 1684 [1] and by 1686 development was sufficiently advanced for the King to stay there for the first time, with a picked entourage. The theme of Marly was that it was a simple hunting lodge, just enough to accommodate the Royal Hunt. In 1688 the Grand Abreuvoir à chevaux was installed on the terrace, a mere "horse trough."Throughout the rest of his life, Louis continued to embellish the wooded park, with wide straight rides, in which ladies or the infirm might follow the hunt, at some distance, in a carriage, and with more profligate waterworks than waterless Versailles—watered from Marly in fact—could provide: the Rivière or Grande Cascade dates to 1697–1698.
The famous description of Marly in the memoirs of Louis de Rouvroy, duc de Saint-Simon were written in retrospect and, for the initiation of Marly, at second hand; when Saint-Simon wrote, in 1715, Marly's heyday was ending, with the death of Louis XIV that year. Louis' heirs found the north-facing slope at Marly damp and dreary, and rarely visited.
The "river" was filled in and grassed in 1728. During the Revolution the marble horses by Guillaume Coustou the Elder, the Chevaux de Marly, were transported to Paris (1794), to flank the opening of the Champs-Élysées in the soon-to-be-renamed Place de la Concorde. (They are now in the Musée du Louvre, along with many other Marly sculptures.)
In 1799/1800, Marly was sold to an industrialist, M. Sagniel, who installed machinery to spin cotton thread. When the factory failed in 1806, the château was demolished and its building materials sold, even the lead of its roof. Napoleon bought back the estate the following year; the empty gardens and the surrounding woodland park still belong to the State.
t the end of the 19th century several connoisseurs purchased leases on the individual garçonnières, cleaned up the overgrowth, recovered some bruised and broken statuary and recreated small gardens among the ruins: Alexandre Dumas, fils and the playwright and collector of 18th-century furnishings Victorien Sardou.
The Cour Marly of the Louvre museum was inaugurated in 1993. It contains mostly works of art from Marly, displayed on three levels.
Providing a sufficient water supply for the fountains at Versailles had been a problem from the outset. The construction of the Marly hydraulic machine, actually located in Bougival (where its inventor Rennequin Sualem died in 1708), driven by the current of the Seine moving fourteen vast paddlewheels, was a miracle of modern hydraulic engineering, perhaps the largest integrated machine of the 17th century.
It pumped water to a head of 100 meters into reservoirs at Louveciennes (where Madame du Barry had her chateau in the 1760s). The water then flowed either to fill the cascade at Marly or drive the fountains at Versailles — the latter, after passing through an elaborate underground network of reservoirs and aqueducts. The machine could only deliver sufficient pressure to satisfy either Marly or Versailles, and invariably the King's demands received priority.
In the nineteenth century, various other pumps replaced the originals, and the last was taken out of service in 1967.
Saint-Simon thus writes of the beginnings of Marly in his Memoirs:
Louis the Fourteenth, lassé du beau and tired at last of the swarm of courtiers, persuaded himself that from time to time he needed a small place and solitude. He searched near Versailles for somewhere to satisfy this new taste, inspecting several sites and exploring the lovely banks of the Seine. At last he found a narrow valley behind Louveciennes, unapproachable because of its marshes, shut in by hills on every side, and very narrow. with a miserable village on one slope, which was called Marly.
So the hermitage was built. The plan was to spend there three nights only, from a Wednesday to a Saturday, two or three times a year, with a dozen or so courtiers for necessary attendance. But what actually happened [Saint-Simon continues], was that the hermitage was enlarged, building after building sprang up, hills were removed, and water-works and gardens were put I It is no exaggeration to say that Versailles, as we saw it, did not cost as much as Marly. . . . It was the king's bad taste in all things, and his proud delight, to force nature, and this could not be checked by the pressure of war, or by religion.
Saint-Simon did not like the king; he had outgrown his former tastes, and poured bitter scorn on all the achievements of the grand siècle, But the works produced in the years between 1677 and 1684 in this marshy woodland valley, which later on fell a victim to the Revolution, leaving scarcely a trace behind, belong all the same to the most perfect achievements of the century. As Saint-Simon's statement that Marly cost more than Versailles may cause surprise, the following quotation may be made:
Marly est devenue ce qu'on le voit encore . . cette prodigieuse machine, dont on vient de parler, avec ses immenses aqueducs, ses conduites et ses réservoirs monstrueux uniquement consacrée à Marly sans plus porter d'eau à Versailles; c'est peu de dire que Versailles tel qu'on l'a vu n'a pas coûté Marly. Si on ajoute les dépenses de ces continuels voyages . on ne dira point trop sur Marly seul en comptant par milliards.
The king had meant to build a hermitage, and he had in mind something like the one in the quiet solitude of the white house in the park at Gaillon; and even when Marly had grown to what it was in the end, he made a pretence of laying aside his royal majesty at the gates, or at any rate of replacing the etiquette left behind at Versailles with a new kind, specially made for this Buen Retiro. As a fact, the Duchess Liselotte was horrified at the want of formality that prevailed at Marly. Hers was a nature that had never cared to take part in that mixture of grandeur and frivolity, severe etiquette and passionate desire for novelty, which was the accepted programme of court life, though it was one that could be changed easily on another stage and in another setting. " You no longer know where you are," she said. " If the king is going for a walk, everyone puts on his hat. If the Queen of Burgundy would walk, she takes the arm of one lady, and the others walk by the side, and nobody can see which she is. Here in the drawing-room we all sit in the presence of the Dauphin and the Duchess, and some actually lie at full length on the sofa. . . I find great difficulty in getting used to this confusion. You have no idea how things go on; it does not seem in the least like a court."
It was a great honour to be taken out to Marly on these three-day expeditions, and the list of those invited was eagerly awaited. Many was the exact opposite of Trianon, with its blue porcelain and scented flowers. Elaborate parterres of flowers were not wanted at Marly, for they would not have suited the idea of a hermitage; and even the modest parterre which lay to the south of the castle was made with a sunk lawn and only a narrow ribbon of flowers. The lay-out of the garden was not, in the main, unlike Versailles (Fig.417) ; here too there was a large show-garden, but it was all around a great water axis, and it filled out that narrow woodland valley of which Saint-Simon speaks. As a fact, the king, with the purpose of getting a view, had had a hill that barred the end of the sloping garden completely removed, and had demanded a whole regiment to do it.

As a fact, the king, with the purpose of getting a view, had had a hill that barred the end of the sloping garden completely removed, and had demanded a whole regiment to do it.
From here you pass from terrace to terrace on wide convenient steps in front of the house. The middle of each terrace is marked by a pond and many beautiful fountains, le font des quatre gerbes, le grand jet, la nappe, and l'abreuvoir; and also a final one at the place where the hill was taken away.
On the great terrace stood the charming building of Mansart, rich in frescoes painted by Le Brun, Rousseau, and their pupils. It had a balustrade on the roof, and was only made big enough to accommodate the king's own family. All the middle part and the top were used for the octagonal dining-hall, and round this were four small rooms. The idea, first conceived at the Trianon de Porcelaine, was thoroughly carried out here, where we also get the first complete example of a central building for pleasure-houses which yet has the character of a hermitage; and this was a pattern repeated endlessly in Europe in the eighteenth century.
On both sides of the house there were originally four basins adorned with faience, which later were supplanted by the so-called green cabinets (Fig. 417)—rooms hedged in greenery where the ladies plied their embroidery, and took their midnight meal (média noche) on festal days. The king's honoured guests were put up in twelve little pavilions attached to the castle, decorated with frescoes and balustrades. They were always arranged as for a small household, and were interconnected by berceaux, which formed a semi- circle round the castle as far as the foot of the cascade. There were three other avenues separating these outrunning pavilions from the open terraces of the water-basins; first there came clipped yew, then leafy trees cut into globular shapes, and lastly an arti- ficially made portico (Figs. 417 and 418) of greenery. The eye passes over from the wide show-garden, designed for lively social gatherings, to small separate pavilions, out of which people could slip into quiet secluded groves
On the west side the Bosquet de Marly included a large tennis-court, other places for games, such as a toboggan run, a belvedere, etc. All these were in the park on the hill. We must now imagine this charming picture enlivened with a great many statues; even as late as 1753, when the Abbé Delagrive sketched out his plan, there were over two hundred works of sculpture, some of them masterpieces, as for example " The Two Horse-Tamers " by Coustou, which to-day adorns the entrance to the Champs Elysées, but formerly stood by the horse-pond (Fig. 422), and other works of Coysevox, now to be found in the Tuileries Gardens.
At Marly, as elsewhere, Louis was perpetually altering something, first in one place, then in another, as long as he lived. He had scarcely achieved his first complete scheme, in 1684, when it was made the theatre of long-continued festivities of a splendid kind. In 1685 the marriage of the Duke of Bourbon-Condé with Madame de Nantes was the occasion of a great fair, where four stalls were set up to represent the four seasons. Two of these were reserved for the bride and bridegroom, the third for Madame de Montespan and the fourth for Madame de Maintenon. But Madame de Montespan probably saw for certain at this fête that her clever scheming rival had won the victory over her. She herself had persuaded Scarron's widow to come to her as governess and nurse to her son; and slowly, step by step, Madame de Maintenon had contrived to make herself indispensable to the king. His triumphant faith in his own good fortune had been shattered by the miscarriage of his foreign policy; he had grown weary, and in this mood he came under the influence of a woman who had in all walks of life shown great ability as a teacher and a ruler. She was always unnoticed, yet she was master where- ever she came. But in one matter she had never been successful with the king—she had never made him economical, hard as she tried at Marly to check his everlasting alterations and embellishments.
Marly held its ground as long as the king was alive, but it fell into decay quickly during the Regency. The fact that it was not utterly destroyed—though the order was actually given—is due to the energetic protest of Saint-Simon, who represented to the Regent the incredible folly of such an intention. So Louis XV. more or less restored it to honour, and there were many fêtes held at the pretty country house; indeed when, on a day in October in the next reign, Louis XVI. was dragged from Versailles to Paris by a howling mob, preparations were actually being made at Marly for receiving the court at a fête. The storm of the Revolution raged over it and destroyed it so utterly that now in the quiet woodland valley nothing can be seen except here and there a straight avenue, a clump of trees, and in its last neglected state the horse-pond, the beautiful abreuvoir, to mark the spot where once stood a graceful work of art.
When one reads, in Dangeau's writings, that the king found a palace "more beautiful than ever," one must be prepared for great alterations, "Anything already there that cannot be improved must be destroyed, and something new must be made."
In this mood Louis XIV. found himself before the wonderful little erection of the Trianon de Porcelaine. Marly was ready in essentials, and Versailles was practically finished. But this little blue and white tea-house, with its waves of sweet flower scents, what more was it than one of the groves which the master had already cast aside? So he summoned Mansart, who was architect enough never to say no if anything was to be pulled down and rebuilt, and who knew how to entangle the king in projects that were constantly changed. Also it was an argument that Madame de Maintenon, now the actual wife, must not be made inferior to the discarded mistress, and he wanted to give her a little castle as a wedding present. In short, Mansart was commissioned to pull down the porcelain house and to set another of marble in its place. Fifty-six sculptors at once set to work to prepare the necessary carvings. Trianon was to be a convenient garden-house: it had only one story, and its gallery on the roof was decorated with vases and statues. The garden was approached immediately from the house.
People seem to have begun to feel that a very strict axial line was rather oppressive. As at Clagny, you crossed two semicircular moats and passed into an inner court, but this one was formed by two wings, and divided the long main façade into three parts. The whole of the middle division adjoining the court was an open pillared hall, used by Louis in summer as a dining-room. It looks straight into the garden, which lies in the axial line with terrace parterres, boskets, and a fountain to mark the end. It is clear that in this place Mansart had no idea of repeating the plan of separate pavilions; but still the king was so used to living alone in his summer residences, that a guest wing had to be built apart, though connected with the main dwelling by a gallery.
This part for guests joins the castle at right angles, and is on one side only, so that an open view can be left on the canal side; for here you had the second and most agreeable way out into the garden, whereas on the other side you climbed up on steps, round a semi- circular basin, to the second garden terrace. From the hill-slopes sweet scents were wafted from the flowers that covered them; and this was perhaps the same in the days of the old Trianon. The garden of the new Trianon was certainly rich in flowers, and there were very unusual and magnificent ones grown in the Jardin du Roi, which was really a giardino secreto, situated at the back of the right wing of the corps de logis, under the king's windows.
The guest wing, known as Trianon-sous-bois, got its name from being in the middle of the side boskets, one of which was greatly admired by reason of a certain novelty in it. The Duchess Lieselotte, who at one time inhabited this wing, thus writes: " One bosket is called Les Sources, and it is so dense that the sun cannot penetrate it even at midday. There are fifty springs, and more, with little streams scarcely a foot wide which you can easily step over. They make small grassy islands, just big enough to put tables and chairs on, so that you can work in the shade. There are steps down on both sides, for the whole place is slightly inclined. Water flows down these steps, and makes a water- fall on either side." On the front of this wing an avenue leads beside the bosket to the cascade, which shuts off the path in the form of a so-called buffet, There are a great number of other beautiful fountains in the park, which stretches a long way farther on this side, and is also quite unsymmetrical. There can be no doubt that this garden was intentionally less enclosed, and treated more simply, so as not to bring it into competition with Versailles, which was near at hand; they took pains to keep a more distinctly country style with less conventionality.
If Le Nôtre busied himself generally with the plans for Trianon, this will have been one of the last things he did. He had now grown old, and his prince had shown him honour; he had ennobled him, and given him the Order of Saint-Michel. The old man appears to have kept his childlike pleasures to the end. When the king invited him to Marly shortly before his death, and let him ride beside him in one of the little wheeled chairs, Le Nôtre suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, my poor father, if only you were alive, and could see how your own son, a mere gardener, is driving in a carriage by the side of the greatest king in the world, there would be nothing wanting to my happiness." One month after this he died, Saint-Simon writes about him: "Le Nôtre died in 1700, after a life of eighty-seven years passed in perfect health, intelligent and upright, with keen enjoyment of his own ability, and honoured because he designed the plans for those lovely gardens that are the glory of France, and that have extinguished the fame of Italian gardens, which are indeed nothing to compare with them; now all the most famous masters of this art come here from Italy, to learn and to admire, Le Nôtre was so candid, so trustworthy, and so upright that everyone respected and honoured him".
Pierre-Denis Martin (1663 – 1742) was a French painter of historical subjects, battles, hunts, and architectural views, particularly of royal residences, such as the Palace of Versailles and the Château de Compiègne. He was also known as Martin the Younger (le jeune) or Martin des Gobelins (because he was employed at the Gobelins Manufactory).
P.-D. Martin was born in Paris, and according to d'Argenville, he was the cousin of Jean-Baptiste Martin, while Pierre-Jean Mariette says he was J.-B. Martin's nephew and pupil. He is also said to have been the pupil of Adam François van der Meulen and the Parrocel. He produced a series of paintings at the Château de Choisy, which are now in the Versailles Museum.
The dictionary of artists by Bellier de la Chavignerie and Auvray incorrectly attributes several paintings by Pierre-Denis Martin in the Versailles Museum to Jean-Baptiste Martin. P.-D. Martin died in Paris

Wow, early day. Looks like he's in for another fight with Congress for wanting a 'clean' extension of the Surface Trans bill. Wasn't the last time he wanted something 'clean' we ended up with months of arguments over the debt ceiling hike? Guess he didn't learn anything or he needs more blaming points for the election.

This schedule omits one very important event. The retirement of General David Petraeus, which he chose NOT TO ATTEND! This is the kind of leadership we do not need. He's the "Commander in Chief" by law, but he's the Loser in Chief as far as I'm concerned. How/why he chose not to attend this once-in-a-lifetime event for a senior 4-star General, who is now going to be his head of the CIA is beyond me. The man has lost every ounce of respect I may have ever even thought of giving him!

Find my support for Chipolo's new credit card-sized tracker features
Chipolo Bob has been around for a while as one of the companies orbiting the Bluetooth-enabled object tracker tile universe. But, last year the company said One spot tracker Was Able to access Apple's Find my network, It provides the same superiority as a Airtag. Now, half a year later, the company is launching a credit card-shaped tracker designed to give your wallet the same level of protection.
Chipolo Card Spot (sorry, we won't call it a card spot) can be attached to my network with your iOS device. If you leave it behind, you'll be able to track it, and you'll also have notification options if you leave it behind when you're out. Chipolo added that the integral speaker would be shattered at 105dB to ensure that you would be able to hear it if you lost it. And it will tolerate water, if you have an accident while fishing.
If there's one downside, it's that the battery isn't replaceable, so once the claimed two-year lifespan is over, you'll need to buy a new one. Chipolo, however, says you will receive a 50 percent discount on replacement and a pre-paid envelope to return the expired unit.

Of course, a credit card-shaped tracker is going to be invaluable for those who want to take advantage of Apple's latest innovation. There are several aftermarket airtag holders that will enable it to slide into a credit card slot (slightly awkwardly, mind you) and now we see more wallets with space for an AirTag hanging next to it. But all of them are designed to accommodate the slightly impractical nature of that circular design.
Chiplo says that Pre-order The card spot will open today, with shipping expected to begin next month. For a single unit, it would be $ 35, while a pair would cost 60, and if you want to get a single card spot and a pair of one spot trackers it would be $ 77.

Lagos Noir
<< Previous book
(A book in the Akashic Noir series)
An anthology of stories edited by Chris Abani
"In the introduction to this excellent anthology, Abani welcomes readers to Lagos, Nigeria, a city of more than 21 million and an amazing amalgam of wealth, poverty, corruption, humor, bravery, and tragedy. Abani and a dozen other contributors tell stories that are both unique to Lagos and universal in their humanity...This entry stands as one of the strongest recent additions to Akashic's popular noir series."
--Publishers Weekly, Starred review, pick of the week for June 4
"Lagos, the largest city in Nigeria, with a population of 21 million, has, like many coastal cities, a 'very checkered and noir past,' writes novelist Chris Abani in his introduction to this anthology."
--BBC Culture
"The beauty of this book, which contains 13 stories from Nigerian writers, is that it serves as a travelogue, too."
--Bloomberg, included in "The Darkest Summer Reading List for Those Bright, Beachy Days"
"Through his prolific and varied writings, Nigerian-born Chris Abani has shared stories that open one's knowledge of the region beyond its colonial past. The recent release of Lagos Noir highlights West African authors as meticulously edited by Abani, one of the country's best-known authors."
--Philadelphia Tribune
"This year among a number of standout anthologies, Lagos Noir was a cut above, in part because the city itself is so alive, so sure of itself and its place in the world, a proper megacity for the twenty-first century, and in part because the city is host to such a vibrant literary scene, which editor Chris Abani tapped to great effect. With writers like Igoni Barrett, Leye Adenle, and E.C. Osondu contributing, Lagos Noir offers wildly different perspectives on both the city itself and the state of noir fiction. This book is almost like a world in itself, one that you'll want to dive back into and get lost in again and again."
--CrimeReads, One of the 10 Best Crime Anthologies of 2018
Akashic Books continues its award-winning series of original noir anthologies, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each book comprises all new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective city. Now, West Africa enters the Noir Series arena, meticulously edited by one of Nigeria's best-known authors.
Brand-new stories by: Chris Abani, Nnedi Okorafor, E.C. Osondu, Jude Dibia, Chika Unigwe, A. Igoni Barrett, Sarah Ladipo Manyika, Adebola Rayo, Onyinye Ihezukwu, Uche Okonkwo, Wale Lawal, 'Pemi Aguda, and Leye Adenle.
From the introduction by Chris Abani:
Lagos has, like many coastal cities, a very checkered and noir past. It is the largest city in Nigeria and its former capital. It is also the largest megacity on the African continent, with a population approximating twenty-one million, and by itself is the fourth-largest economy in Africa...It is rumored that there are more canals in Lagos than in Venice. Except in Lagos they are often unintentional. Gutters that have become waterways and lagoons fenced in by stilt homes or full of logs for a timber industry most of us don't know exists. All of it skated by canoes as slick as any dragonfly. There are currently no moonlight or other gondola rides available...
The thirteen stories that comprise this volume stretch the boundaries of "noir" fiction, but each one of them fully captures the essence of noir, the unsettled darkness that continues to lurk in the city's streets, alleys, and waterways...Together, these stories create an unchartered path through the center of Lagos and out to its peripheries, revealing so much more truth at the heart of this tremendous city than any guidebook, TV show, film, or book you are likely to find.

Q: SQLite view and query on Android I have two tables one to store a task and one to evaluate the task:
create table task(
  _id  integer primary key autoincrement,
  task text not null);

create table eval (
  _id    integer primary key autoincrement,
  taskid integer,
  eval   integer);

Some data:
INSERT INTO task VALUES (1,"A small job");
INSERT INTO task VALUES (2,"A easy job");
INSERT INTO eval VALUES (1,1,1);
INSERT INTO eval VALUES (2,1,2);
INSERT INTO eval VALUES (3,2,1);
INSERT INTO eval VALUES (4,2,2);

Then a view joining the two tables:
  CREATE VIEW status AS
  SELECT eval._id   AS _id,
  eval.taskid   AS taskid,
  eval.eval     AS eval,
  task.task
  FROM task JOIN eval
  ON task._id = eval.taskid;

SQLite Database Browser doesn't support views. What's a good database browser for android development on linux?
Secondly, consider this query: Select the highest evaluation on each task
SELECT s.task, s.eval
FROM status AS s
JOIN (
  SELECT task, MAX(eval) AS maxeval
  FROM status
  GROUP BY task
) AS pm ON s.task = pm.task AND s.eval = pm.maxeval;

Resulting in:
s.task       s.eval
A easy job   2
A small job  2

How do I implement this query in an Android app? I've tried to pack it into a Cursor android.database.sqlite.SQLiteDatabase.query method and its siblings without much luck.
Is there a way to just pass the SQL query as a string into the database and get a result set back?

A: *

*you can use SQLiteManager a firefox add-onn. It is a visual
browser for sqlite database. I am using it and it is very nice.

*If you want to learn sqlite syntax, you can use this tutorial.

*You can use db.execSQL(sqlCommand) fore update, write and delete
operations. For read operations you can use cursor =
db.rawQuery(sqlQuery, null);, where db is SQLiteDatabase's object.

A: 1) SQLite Browser - http://sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net/
2) Use SQLiteDatabase.rawQuery(String sql, String[] selectionArgs) where sql is a string with a query

A: Did you try .execSQL . You can use it like
db.execSQL("CREATE TABLE User (username varchar(5) , pwd varchar(15))");

Widow Empowerment Program
The primary goal of the Widows Empowerment Program in Haiti is to revive the local economy by empowering widows to rebuild their businesses, and spread the culture of entrepreneurship in Jeremie. Based on Just Hope's mission to make an "impact that lasts," the program allows those who expressed a genuine desire to improve their circumstances to regain their dignity, generate household income and break the cycle of poverty. By promoting business ownership and economic empowerment, the program will also create jobs for youth and women who were living on public charity.
Initially, there will be twenty widows with prior entrepreneurial backgrounds enrolled in the program. Each will be given business skills advice, certain capital to restart the venture and mentoring sessions from senior Business Administration students of the University of Jeremie. Just Hope International is partnering with the University of Jeremie to facilitate and implement the program.

When you think of a typical Spring wedding, romantic thoughts of pastel colours, ditsy prints and pretty florals will be at the forefront of your mind. Sometimes though, typical isn't for everyone. We've found some of the best quirky rainbow themed décor, certain to keep all of you alternative brides smiling! Feel free to grab the Ray-Bans for this one though ladies, it's a bright one!
Also, as a side note, you might have noticed we shared The Lous blog post last week which included this mega-amazing woodland wedding, featured above. If you've half an hour to gaze and smile, check it out, here!
Good morning, did we all survive Blue Monday?! It wasn't really that bad, although I am glad the end of January is now within sight! Today we're saying hello to one of our 2016 Blogging Brides – yes, you may have noticed I didn't shout out for any this year, Lorraine contacted me last year and I couldn't say no 😉 – Lorraine is getting married this September in what I know will be a gorgeous day and she's so excited to be a wifey!
Hi, I'm Lorraine and I'll be marrying Aaron in September on Lusty Beg. Aaron and I first met at university when we studied as postgraduates in 2009.
We were all asked to get into groups in one of our first classes and I was with a girl I had met earlier in the day, Rebecca. We spotted a guy who looked clever sitting across the room, and beckoned him over to join us – and that's how Aaron and I met! We spent the next year studying and going out but there was never any chemistry between us.
It was only after some Facebook commenting in 2013 that I suggested going for coffee – just as two old friends, catching up. After we went home and carried on chatting, we decided to meet up a few days later but I still didn't think it was a date! After a few drinks and a trip to the cinema (and a wee kiss) we officially started dating. I lived by myself and Aaron unofficially moved in straight away, before making the official move a few months later. We now live in Belfast with my two cats and a dog who we rescued from Assisi a few years ago.
We both knew straight away that we were going to get married. I told my mum she needed to buy a hat after we had been together for two months! Despite this, it was almost two years until he (finally) proposed with a gorgeous ring. I have my granny's engagement ring, and he knew I loved it so it's the same three stone setting. It all happened completely out of the blue a few days before my 28th birthday. I was having a bit of a strop about getting old and Aaron tried to cheer me up, offering breakfast in bed or brunch. I refused the lot, so he went and got the ring and proposed while I was still in bed!
We started planning soon after and knew we wanted to be married before we turned 30, early in 2017. Aaron plays American Football, so we chose autumn 2016, which is his off-season in the hope that he wouldn't have any football injuries! I plan lots of events for work, and knew I didn't want a traditional hotel wedding, so we started looking at alternative venues. Aaron has a big family, so our venue had a few must haves; accommodation to stay overnight, a late bar license, a civil ceremony license, enough room for everyone to attend and most importantly, lots of character.
We looked a few country houses and I had a spreadsheet of cost and capacity of around 40 venues in Ireland! Finally, we decided to visit Lusty Beg Island for some lunch and I can honestly say that we were blown away. From the minute we stepped onto the ferry we knew we'd found the perfect place. It met all the criteria we wanted, the staff were so helpful and even on a rainy day, the scenery was beautiful. It also helped that it's not too far from where our families live.
We both want the same thing for our wedding, to have the best day, surrounded by friends, family and love so it wasn't long before I started thinking about the other important elements, but that's a post for another day!
Want The Best Bridal Party? Here's How!
They should be your sisters from another mister, or in our modern twitter era, your #squad – have you thought about who to include in your bridal party? For some brides, the decision is simple and there is only one set of right hand women that they would even consider. Unfortunately this isn't the case for everyone and choosing a bridal party can turn into a scene from Bride Wars. Have a look at our top tips for choosing the perfect bridal party to make sure nobody's nose is put out of joint.
Take your time – While it might seem that the minute you get engaged you need to choose who should be in your bridal party, this is not the case. Take as long as you need to deliberate over the perfect choice. Remember, once you have asked someone to be a part of your day, you can't take it back (well, not without a serious amount of drama) so make sure you are happy and 100% sure of your decision before popping the question.
Choose carefully – The build up to a wedding can be a stressful time for any bride, so it is important that the people you have chosen to be in your bridal party will be good at calming your nerves, or being a shoulder to cry on if it all gets too much. Diva demands from a bratty bridesmaid will only add unwanted extra stress.
Other roles – Obviously not everyone can be in the main bridal party, but if you have close friends or family members that you would like to be a part of your day, consider asking them to carry out other roles within the wedding. Think of how you could incorporate them into the day by exploiting their best talents. Asking a friend to welcome your guests or perform a reading during the ceremony will allow them to feel involved in your wedding day, keeping everyone happy.
Budget – When choosing your wedding party, don't forget to take into consideration your overall budget. It's easy to get carried away in the excitement of asking your BFFs to be a part of your wedding, but remember that the more people you include, the more expensive it will be. Dresses, shoes, flowers, hair, makeup, spray-tans, nails and jewellery will all add up, so it's important to cater your bridal party to your budget and not go overboard.
Don't ask someone just because they asked you – Your bridal party should be made up of people that you want right by your side every step of the way, so if your long lost cousin from Australia asked you to be her bridesmaid, don't feel that you have to return the favour. You don't want to look back in ten years and regret your decision; just because you felt you had to.
Tradition – Long gone are the days of sticking to tradition when it comes to choosing a bridal party. If your best friend is a boy, or vice versa, your groom's best friend is a girl, why should you sacrifice having them in your wedding party just because it's not typically traditional? A bridesman, or a groomswoman is so 2016.
Bridal Party Size – Keep in mind the overall size of the bridal party when choosing who to ask – remember that the groom will also be asking his nearest and dearest to be a part of the day as well. The average numbers on each side is usually between three and four people – but if you're considering having a bigger bridal party, keep in mind trying to organise shopping trips, dress and suit fittings and hen and stag parties. Organising a large number of people can be stressful, especially in the run up to a wedding.
Personality – When planning your wedding you need people around who know you upside down and inside out. Members of your wedding party will have responsibilities in the run up to and on the day of your wedding so consider choosing someone who will be reliable enough to take care of the wedding bands, and the signing of the register but also someone who knows how to throw the best kind of hen or stag party!
Were you the lucky recipient of a diamond ring over the festivities? If that was you and you're now on the road to planning the biggest day of your life, here are 11 pieces of secret advice that you need to know.
1. Wearing a ring on your finger will be weird, for a while. True fact, just you wait to see how opening the car door will become a strange thing to do, how you'll always touch the band at the back with your thumb for reassurance and how you'll never want to take it off! Take a tip from us, do take it off, when you're doing certain things like cleaning, you don't want it loosing it's sparkle! Also remember to add it onto the valuables of your house insurance, just in case.
2. You and your groom will probably disagree. Let's face it there's not a great deal of gents out there who have the faintest idea of how they want their wedding to look and feel, but as small as his preconceptions and ideas are when you really get down to the nitty gritty, he will have his opinion! Whether or not you agree with them will be the real test, working things out and compromising will be needed on both parts.
3. Never forget you and your groom are number one in the planning decisions, do your day, your way. It can be hard to ignore other peoples advice and ideas, especially if they are contributing financially to the wedding, but stand strong and go with what you believe in. You'll make a much nicer bride that way!
4. You will get days when planning your wedding might become overwhelming. It's totally natural to feel up tight and precious over your big day, you just need to learn to keep a level head and continue on. If things start to get you down do positive things to work out any problems, write to-do lists (I am a big believer in lists!), call your mate for a chat or have a walk, just clear your head and come back to anything that feels like a problem later.
5. On the other hand you might become super organised – or not!
6. Don't forget that outside of your bubble life is still continuing on for everyone else, don't bury your head so deep and forget the world! I'd encourage you to plan 'wedding free' nights and even weekends so that you can really enjoy your engagement with your fiancé and family.
7. Your day might be completely different to what your first thought – and that's totally okay. Sure, you might have had visions of planning your five year old selfs dream wedding, but your taste's change as you get older, it's okay to leave the five year old dreams at the door and go for a 30-something chic vision instead!
8. You will have doubts. Did I choose the right dress, are my colours right for all the bridesmaids, will the guests enjoy themselves… you will always question yourself. Don't go dwelling on all these random thoughts they're simply nerves and nerves are totally natural! As long as you end up with a husband on your wedding day that's what matters most.
9. Choose the best people to be your helpers. We're talking your mums, best friends and family who will wholeheartedly give their honest opinion, won't trash you in your favourite wedding dress and won't make you feel rubbish about your decisions. If you've an older, uglier, jealous nasty sister leave her at home!
10. Don't try to be someone else on your wedding day, be the best you, ever. The prettiest brides are those who feel comfortable in their own skin and wear it with pride. No unrecognisable transformations please.
11. Finally, you will feel a little miserable after the day is done. Well, do you know what, you shouldn't you've got the best prize, a new husband and a brand new chapter of life to live! Yes, it's fine to feel a little flat after the most magical day but think about the first time you see your wedding photos, the first viewing of your wedding film (we advise tissues, lots of tissues), your first anniversary – all these special occasions will make any flatness disappear. We would suggest holding your honeymoon off for a few months after the day, this gives you something really special to look towards.
Now, off you go and be the best bride you possibly can be!
Here we are, lovely readers, with only four sleeps until the big day!
This year has been incredibly exciting and busy here at The Promise HQ – we shared so many glorious wedding stories, advice, fashion and inspiration, we chatted over Facebook and Instagram about everything and anything, I was a bride for once (!) and you supported this little corner of the Internet like never before – for it all and more a huge Thank You from me!
There will be a few treat-filled posts over the holidays, but all there's really left for me to do is wish you a very Merry Christmas, and here's to an even bigger and better 2016 for us all. We hope your holidays are filled with family and love, and that treasured memories will be made.

Third stream elements are Be-7,Nitrogen, Silicon, Iron(Nickel) and Cadmium(Barium) in elemental periodic table.
Lithium is widely distributed on Earth but does not naturally occur in elemental form due to its high reactivity. Estimates for crustal content range from 20 to 70 ppm by weight. In keeping with its name, lithium forms a minor part of igneous rocks, with the largest concentrations in granites. Granitic pegmatites also provide the greatest abundance of lithium-containing minerals, with spodumene and petalite being the most commercially viable sources. A newer source for lithium is hectorite clay, the only active development of which is through the Western Lithium Corporation in the United States.
According to the Handbook of Lithium and Natural Calcium, "Lithium is a comparatively rare element, although it is found in many rocks and some brines, but always in very low concentrations. There are a fairly large number of both lithium mineral and brine deposits but only comparatively a few of them are of actual or potential commercial value. Many are very small, others are too low in grade." At 20 mg lithium per kg of Earth's crust , lithium is the 25th most abundant element. Nickel and lead have the about the same abundance.
Contrary to the USGS data in the table, other estimates put Chile's reserve base at 7,520,000 metric tons of lithium, and Argentina's at 6,000,000 metric tons.
Seawater contains an estimated 230 billion tons of lithium, though at a low concentration of 0.1 to 0.2 ppm.
The red appearance of this water is due to ferric ion, Iron(III) or Fe3+, in the rocks.
Iron is the sixth most abundant element in the Universe, formed as the final act of nucleosynthesis, by silicon fusing in massive stars. While it makes up about 5% of the Earth's crust, the Earth's core is believed to consist largely of an iron-nickel alloy constituting 35% of the mass of the Earth as a whole. Iron is consequently the most abundant element on Earth, but only the fourth most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Most of the iron in the crust is found combined with oxygen as iron oxide minerals such as hematite and magnetite.
About 1 in 20 meteorites consist of the unique iron-nickel minerals taenite (35–80% iron) and kamacite (90–95% iron). Although rare, iron meteorites are the major form of natural metallic iron on the Earth's surface.
The red color of the surface of Mars is thought to derive from an iron oxide-rich regolith.

Okay, my Macbook came with Lion. The internal hard drive has failed, so I got a new one, and when I try to install Lion via internet recovery it just gives me "This item is temporarily unavailable." for days now.
It came with Lion, but it supports Sierra and when I installed Sierra I did have the presence of mind to save the InstallESD.dmg file to an external hard drive. So I've also tried to make a boot USB drive using InstallESD, by several means. I've copied the dmg file to the internal hard drive, and then used Disk Utility to format the USB drive (GUID partition table, single partition with Mac OS Extended file system), then Restore the dmg file to the formatted USB drive.
This seems to work, but I can't get the Macbook to recognize the drive as bootable.
I also have a Linux laptop and have tried making a boot drive by converting the dmg file to ISO, then doing the same thing. With the same results.
I also have the Sierra BaseSystem.dmg, if that's... useful for anything. If there was a SHA hash for InstallESD somewhere I could check it to see if it got corrupted.
What year was the MacBook Pro made?
If it's 2009 or earlier, it can't do "internet recovery". Not possible.
If it's a 2010, it -might- do internet recovery IF it has had the appropriate firmware update.
If it's 2011 or later, it CAN do internet recovery.
Tell us that, and then we can go on.
Where do I find that? It only says "MacBook", with and Apple logo on the top and some FCC information on the bottom.
The closest thing that I can find to a version number is in OS X Utilities - Version 1.0 (33).
Assuming that it's from 2009 probably isn't unreasonable, I bought this used and cheap. Why can't it do internet recovery? Just not supported anymore?
Edit: Oh, ha. It's a Mid 2010. Got that from an earlier post of mine.
Internet recovery got rolled out as a feature, and as I recall as new models rolled out. So during the transition period, some Macs could use it while others could not. An awkward transition, likely dependent on specific firmware, which in turn may have been dependent on specific hardware.
On a Mac of this vintage, a bootable installer, or a bootable external drive....or another Mac connected via Target Disk Mode may be the easiest way to proceed. Any of those things available?
There are a bunch of tutorials like that, but they're all pretty similar. It all seems to go smoothly, but the drive isn't recognized by the computer as bootable.
Hard to say why it is not bootable.
Did you format the USB: HFS+ ?
There are several tools to make bootable externals, might make sense to try a different one. I have never had problem with Install Disk Creator, though I have not used it since about 10.11.
I'd be happy to try a different tool, but I'm limited to what I can use in Linux and what I can use in the system restore - that means Disk Utility and things that I can run from the terminal.
Yes, I formatted HFS+ (though Disk Utility calls it Mac OS Extended (Journaled)), with a GUID partition table.
Edit: Oh, wait! I just remembered that I have a Windows 7 partition on my Linux laptop. Forgot about that, I never use it for anything, but that's an option if there's a Windows utility which will work. I'll go look for one.
Can we get something clear here?
Do you have any way to "boot the MBP to the finder" RIGHT NOW?
If you do, tell us EXACTLY how you're doing it.
I don't mean "booting a copy of the installer" -- I mean "booting to the finder and logging into a user account".
@fisherman: There's no booting to finder. There's no finder - the hard drive is new and empty. I can only boot to recovery, and so the only things which work are things in recovery: Disk Utility and things I can run from the terminal.
Come to think of it, when I first got this computer I had a similar problem after I wiped the original hard drive. I was only able to make a boot drive that the MacBook would accept by two ways: use a pirated copy of OS X, or use the createinstallmedia utility in the terminal.
I had hoped that this wouldn't be an issue this time, because I had the official files from Apple, and because I have an Apple account with a registered MacBook now (I didn't before), but neither of those things have panned out for me.
The BaseSystem.dmg file does have createinstallmedia in it, but when I try to run it I get: "Illegal Instruction: 4" which the internet tells me is a version mismatch. I guess the Sierra version of createinstallmedia is too new to run in recovery.
"There's no booting to finder. There's no finder - the hard drive is new and empty. I can only boot to recovery, and so the only things which work are things in recovery: Disk Utility and things I can run from the terminal.

If you can get to recovery, you can get further.
I think you should re-read what you yourself wrote in the second paragraph above.
"When one pathway fails, but another works, why does MacUser keep walking down the path that fails?"
It's time to walk down a path you (and most readers of this forum) will have never tried before.
Do you have around a USB flash drive that is 32gb or larger?
Even 16gb might do (not sure about that).
Or, an external USB drive of ANY size (doesn't matter)?
8. Will the OS installer work that way?
Hint: print this out and keep it beside you as you work.


It's already been a week since I sat under the Cottonwood trees at our Longhorn Ranch campsite as falling cotton gracefully swirled around me like snowflakes and three horses grazed across the pond. We stayed five nights in that lovely RV park, which was just 2 miles to the old-west style town of Dubois (Do-Boyz), WY (population about 1,000). During our stay, we had campfires every night, made several new friends, celebrated the 4th of July with a small town parade, went to our first local rodeo, enjoyed much needed massages, ate out a few times too many, and went on a couple adventurous drives.
Dubois is basically in the middle of nowhere; most people just pass through the valley on their way to or from the Grand Tetons, but it's also where badlands meet forested peaks, where real cowboys work and play, and where the beautiful Wind River winds through. To be honest, we were a bit disappointed in the feel of the town center; we had been expecting it to be a rustic Old West place with log cabin style buildings, but it seemed to lack some of the charm we hoped for. However, we also learned that just 7 months prior, a significant portion was burned down in some kind of accident, so the "newer" feel we experienced was for good reason!
When we arrived at Longhorn Ranch around 8pm after a long drive, we were pleased with our spacious site location, as it was right across from the playground and backed up to a pond and horse pasture. After a long day stuck in Cheyenne and then a lengthy drive, it was worth the later bedtime to let the kids play as the sun set! It also gave me a chance to make a quick supper out of egg salad (sandwiches and lettuce wraps) and broccoli sautéed/charred in coconut oil – I thought it was yummy but the kids were unimpressed. We also immediately made some new friends. First, our neighbor, Dan, who has been full-timing with his wife for 11 years, proved to be informative, helpful, and sometimes quirky – we enjoyed him! Then, just as we were heading in, a couple of women introduced themselves (Tina and Debbie) and mentioned that they had noticed us a couple of weeks ago at Mountaindale in Colorado Springs! We thoroughly enjoyed their company too, and even had a full night of adult conversation with them our final night, as we drank wine and port by our fire pit (although, i think it's possible they thought we were a bit nuts to be traveling with kids and dogs, and quite likely found us a tad too desperate to have adults other than each other to chat with).
Our first day there, I woke up in a foul mood. There are many challenges living in less than 300 square feet – for me, not getting any down time tops the list, and 3 weeks into our trip, it had caught up with me (okay, okay, it's possible PMS contributed too). Whatever the cause, I was short tempered and irritable all morning, especially with sweet Nina. We were in "why?" hell with Nina for a few days. I don't mind the normal, inquisitive "why" game – occasionally it is mildly irritating and challenging, but I also love the information seeking. In contrast, the "why, Mommy?" to Every Single Thing I Say or Every Request I Make really pushes my buttons. Now, I'm a sensitive person and I recognize that this entire experience is overwhelming for her little mind, and the issue might be some form of control seeking disguised as "why" "why" "why???!!!" But OMG, PLEASE STOP! So anyway, we got through the morning – Raj took pity on me and let me have an hour of quiet, putter-around time in Gypsy while he took the kids to the playground. It helped but didn't cure me. We went to town and ate a bunch of fried food and had very odd service, and then went to an outdoor gear store and bought some bear spray and bells for the dogs to wear on hikes – we are officially in bear country, with both black bear and grizzly bear sightings and interactions more common than I'd like to fully comprehend! Raj thought I was nuts, but I feel the spray and bells could have been the best $40 I've ever spent (we do hike with 2 toddlers after all and will be in bear land the rest of our trip). I wasn't too inspired by the info on hiking in the area though, so we decided our priorities were a day trip to Jackson, WY and the Grand Tetons, the local rodeo, massages, and the 4th of July parade.
There were some ups and downs during our day to Jackson and the Grand Tetons. The 1.5 hour drive there was fairly peaceful, as we let the kids indulge in huge blueberry muffins and had beautiful scenery. However, as soon as we found a place to park in Jackson, things got overwhelming for a bit: Nina had to pee (but she's anti- any potty with an auto flusher), London was wild, Chai chewed through her leash while I stopped London from running into the street, and it was really hot! Despite a chaotic 30 minutes, we enjoyed walking around the bustling, dog-friendly town and soon found an authentic Mexican taco stand and shared salmon and pulled pork tacos. Since we had the dogs, we decided to take the kids to a large playground in the middle of it all; it was so nice to sit on a bench and watch them run (for the 2 minutes before they wanted to be pushed on the swing). We couldn't stay in Jackson long because we had a long drive home and we didn't want to miss the rodeo, but we agreed we'd love to return for a proper visit, hopefully a ski trip!
We grilled steaks and peppers before heading to Dubois' weekly rodeo! Though it was super crowded and we weren't the only tourists (probably their busiest night of the year, as it was July 3rd), it was very much typical Friday-night affair for the locals. We arrived just before sunset and found a place to sit low in the bleachers, so our view was a bit obstructed by the railings, but still close to the action. After the opening remarks, national anthem and prayer, we watched the women and girls (some as young as 7 or 8!) barrel race, and I loved not only the sound of the hooves in the dirt and the cowgirl hats flying off as they galloped, but also how the crowd cheered for the successes and even more for the teams who's horses just wouldn't cooperate. It was a supportive community. London caught on fast and loved clapping and cheering; Nina, hooked on horses after her pony ride, watched wide-eyed as she shoved handfuls of popcorn into her mouth! Some of the rodeo events were more exciting than others, and we felt uncomfortable during the goat-tying portion, yet the sportsmanship was still impressive. For our first rodeo, we all really enjoyed it!
The morning of the 4th of July, we enjoyed a quiet morning playing outside, cooked bacon and omelets and lay around. The annual parade in the afternoon was a highlight, and Nina glowed as she chased after thrown candy. I can't claim to have visited many parades, and this was certainly the first in a small town and a first with the kids, but I can honestly say it was the most fun I've had at such an event. The small town vibe of this parade was the best part- there weren't fancy floats or fancy people – just a community that loves their town and their country. If you ever have the chance to go to their parade, I recommend it, just be careful to avoid the fire hoses drenching the crowd at the end!
Our final full day we enjoyed an exceptionally lazy morning watching movies because storms moved through. We didn't mind a bit – we've had fantastic weather this trip and it's necessary for us to slow down and find R&R time. In the early afternoon, we traded off watching the kids and getting massages (have I mentioned that my back misses my bed at home and that hiking with 40 pounds of kids and gear is a bit much for my body?) Our afternoon drive to town was a bit of a bust because 90% of everything was closed, but we picked up a few groceries then decided on a long, adventurous drive in nearby Shoshane National Park, a rugged, somewhat uninviting landscape. Along the gravel road, we saw lots of bunnies, people driving horses to trailheads for treks, and even a huge eagle's nest! We took the Jeep on a couple short 4×4 roads, escaped some mosquitoes and took countless pictures of the badlands as we drove back toward camp. It was getting late, so Raj and Nina went on a date for dinner and I hung out with my little dude, struggled to get him down for bed, and started packing up for our next stop – Yellowstone National Park!
Longhorn Ranch Motel and RV: 4.5 stars. This place offers a very pleasant, peaceful stay. Most sites are very spacious, especially exterior sites, and many offer Wind River views. Though we didn't have a river view, we saw horses graze across the "pond" our site backed up to, and still enjoyed access to the river. It's not a working ranch, but the location is convenient to Dubois and the rodeo. They'll contact Reenie for you too, if you'd like a massage, and set you up in a room – she's pricey but it was a very good massage. The main disappointment for us was the "dog park." Upon check-in they informed me it wasn't fully fenced so we'd need to keep dogs on their leashes… huh? Well, then we walked over there and the area is huge BUT not only is it not fully fenced, it hasn't been mowed in approximately a year; so essentially it's useless. I'd stay here again – any site on the perimeter, except #1 and #2, would be great.
Tovah, I am absolutely entranced with your blog! I can almost see, smell and taste everything you write about, and I can really feel your energy (and lack thereof) when you describe your highs and lows and the excitement of new things. We had been driving through a very small town in Alberta just as a swarm of newly graduated high schoolers came pouring out of a movie house, gleefully throwing the hats into the air. It's one of those moments that will be forever in our minds.
Thanks Gretchen! We will be making our way to Alberta soon! Any tips or must-see places?
Reading this. Wow. What an adventure.
Love following along with your adventures. Also enjoyed the slideshow. Thanks for keeping up with the blogging!
Such a good description of day to day life and ups and downs! Envy you the sights and scenery! Not so much the schlepping and chasing; although we are doing our fair share of that!
Another wonderful blog…makes us wish (even more, if that's possible) that we were traipsing along with you.
One comment on Nina's fear of the auto flush….I get it, she's too little for it to know not to "flush her"….Good news– there is an easy, universal fix: duct tape. Of course! Just carry a little with you and tape over the little infrared eye before she goes, then don't forget to remove it and it'll be just fine. What can't be fixed with duct tape?
Duct tape to the rescue! I'll try it!

In Alabama, there is no affirmative duty to report a woman who has used alcohol during pregnancy or a child with fetal alcohol syndrome. Nevertheless, legal provisions mandate that the county department of human resources investigate a complaint or report of "physical abuse," defined to include fetal alcohol syndrome or drug withdrawal at birth (excluding Methodone withdrawal) due to the mother's substance use or misuse. Ala. Admin. Code. R. 660-5-34-.02.
In California, a positive toxicology screen at the time of the delivery of an infant is not in and of itself a sufficient basis for reporting child abuse or neglect; however, any indication of maternal substance abuse shall lead to an assessment of the mother and child. Cal. Health & Safety § 123605. If other factors are present that indicate a risk to a child, then a report shall be made. Cal. Penal Code § 11165.13.
As of July 1, 2004, a child may be taken into temporary custody by a law enforcement officer without order of the court, "when a newborn child is identified by a physician, registered nurse, licensed practical nurse, or physician's assistant engaged in the admission, care, or treatment of patients as being affected by substance abuse or demonstrating withdrawal symptoms resulting from prenatal drug exposure." Colo. Rev. Stat. § 19-3-401.
The health care practitioner for each pregnant woman who is enrolled or eligible for certain income-based services shall be encouraged to identify as soon as possible whether such woman is at risk of a poor birth outcome due to substance abuse during the prenatal period and to refer such woman to any entity approved and licensed by the department of human services for the performance of a needs assessment.
In Illinois, health care providers, social workers, law enforcement personnel, and other listed persons may refer to the Department of Human Services any pregnant person in this State who is "addicted" as defined in the Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and Dependency Act. 325 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/7.3b. Under that Act, "alcoholism" is also known as addiction to alcohol and "addict" means a person who exhibits the disease known as "addiction." 20 Ill. Comp. Stat. 301/1-10.
Following the referral, the Department of Human Services shall notify the local Infant Mortality Reduction Network service provider or Department funded prenatal care provider in the area in which the person resides. The service provider shall prepare a case management plan and assist the pregnant woman in obtaining counseling and treatment from a local substance abuse service provider licensed by the Department of Human Services or a licensed hospital which provides substance abuse treatment services. The local Infant Mortality Reduction Network service provider and Department funded prenatal care provider shall monitor the pregnant woman through the service program. 325 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/7.3b.
In Texas, there is no affirmative duty to report a woman who has used alcohol during pregnancy or a child with fetal alcohol syndrome. Nevertheless, legal provisions mandate that information on the occurrence of fetal alcohol syndrome be collected in a statewide central registry of birth defects. 25 Tex. Admin. Code § 37.305.
Effective December 20, 2010, the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) requires States that seek federal funding for child abuse or neglect prevention and treatment programs to establish a law or program that includes "policies and procedures (including appropriate referrals to child protection service systems and for other appropriate services) to address the needs of infants born with and identified as being affected by illegal substance abuse or withdrawal symptoms resulting from prenatal drug exposure, or a Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, including a requirement that health care providers involved in the delivery or care of such infants notify the child protective services system of the occurrence of such condition in such infants, except that such notification shall not be construed to-- (I) establish a definition under Federal law of what constitutes child abuse or neglect; or (II) require prosecution for any illegal action * * * ." 42 U.S.C. § 5106a(b)(2)(B)(ii).

Housing Starts Down in March on Coronavirus Effects
Reflecting the growing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, total housing starts decreased 22.3 percent in March from a downwardly revised February reading to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.22 million units, according to a report from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development and Commerce Department. Meanwhile, overall permits declined 6.8 percent to 1.35 million.
The March reading of 1.22 million starts is the number of housing units builders would begin if they kept this pace for the next 12 months. Within this overall number, single-family starts decreased 17.5 percent to an 856,000 seasonally adjusted annual rate. The multifamily sector, which includes apartment buildings and condos, decreased 31.7 percent to a 360,000 pace.
"Housing has been deemed an essential business in most of the nation, and in the few states where the governors have not acted, we urge them to deem construction as essential," said Dean Mon, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a home builder and developer from Shrewsbury, N.J. "Housing can help lead an eventual rebound, as it has done in previous recessions."
"We expect further declines in housing starts in April, due to the unprecedented decline in builder confidence in our latest member survey," said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. "It is worth noting that there are currently 534,000 single-family homes currently under construction and 684,000 apartments. Approximately 90 percent of these single-family units are located in states where home building is deemed as an 'essential service,' while 80 percent of apartments are located in such states."
With respect to regional single-family and apartment construction, compared to a year ago, first quarter home production increased in all regions: 31.9 percent in the Northeast, 23.0 percent in the Midwest, 18.9 percent in the South and 27.1 percent in the West. These increases are due to strong construction data in January and February and weak comparable data at the start of 2019.
Overall permits declined 6.8 percent to a 1.35 million unit annualized rate in March. Single-family permits decreased 12.0 percent to an 884,000 unit rate, while multifamily permits increased 4.9 percent to a 469,000 pace.
Looking at regional permit data on a year-to-date basis, permits are 9.6 percent higher in the Northeast, 8.0 percent higher in the Midwest, 11.3 percent higher in the in the South and 17.0 higher in the West.
