KINGMAN – It wasn't a typical day for a scrimmage, but that didn't stop the Lee Williams High School football team from lacing up the cleats and battling on the gridiron Wednesday in Prescott.
"We saw just what we wanted to see," said Vols head coach Clint Sasse. "The kids didn't lose any physicality – we played fast and physical. That's been our philosophy the last two years. It's good not to see a drop off in that."
Lee Williams didn't return home until well after midnight, but went right back to work Thursday afternoon. However, it was a lighter practice with film study and then a walk through on the field.
"These kids have been practicing since May, basically," Sasse said. "We've gone from spring ball right into our summer strength and conditioning, then our skills and drills afterwards. They were ready to hit somebody else and it was a lot of fun."
The Vols have kept their team contact and tackling drills to very limited and controlled space during practices. That doesn't mean they haven't gone at full speed, but Sasse knew the players were glad to finally tackle in a live game environment.
More importantly, it gave Sasse and his staff an opportunity to see the development from the start of summer to now. But unlike many programs, Lee Williams isn't necessarily sticking to a "depth chart."
"Starter isn't that big of a deal here because we try to keep our players fresh," Sasse said. "We rotate a lot at the skill positions and try to rotate as much as we can on the offensive and defensive line. We have a lot of guys who can play a lot of different positions – which is great for us."
The Vols will put that philosophy to the test Friday at 7 p.m. against Lake Havasu – which is a week earlier than last season. Sasse has yet to coach Lee Williams during a "zero week," but found a willing opponent in the Knights.
"We kind of wanted that break in the middle of the season so we can heal and focus our minds back up," Sasse said. "We were pushing for the zero week and we got it. It's a little weird, but at the same time we'll still have a solid three weeks of practice before our first game."
Only time will tell if the early start pays dividends, but on paper it looks as if it should. The Vols will face 4A Grand Canyon Region opponents Bradshaw Mountain (Sept. 14) and Mingus (Sept. 21) and then have break before finishing their 2018 schedule.
"We have two tough region opponents and then we get that week off to heal up and reset," Sasse said. "Then go after the region."

Over the past few years, Google has launched several algorithm changes aimed at improving the quality of its Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs).
Through articles such as "More Guidance on Building High-Quality Sites," Google has been encouraging webmasters to produce quality content.
In February 2011, Google officially launched its "Panda" update, which aimed to penalize low-quality sites or sites that contained shallow content. Over the past 2 years, Google has launched 25 separate updates to Panda, as recently as March 18, 2013.
Next, Google released its "Penguin" update in April 2012. The aim of this change was to crack down on sites that violated Google's Webmaster Guidelines by using black-hat SEO tactics, such as keyword stuffing and cloaking. Some high-profile marketers have come out and admitted to utilizing these unscrupulous SEO tactics.
Google's Matt Cutts stated recently that Google would no longer be officially announcing new algorithm updates. However, employees within the company have told Search Engine Land that there is in fact a new secret algorithm change that is being released in April 2013.
The naming of the new algorithm change follows in the tradition of animals beginning with the letter "P." Inspired by Agent P from the hit Disney show, "Phineus and Ferb," the new update will be officially referred to as "Platypus".
Platypus is the new algorithm update for the Google Search Engine. It will be released in April 2013.
Platypus will focus primarily on websites that contain poor spelling, grammar and punctuation.
Is there a Comprehensive List of Issues Targeted by Platypus?
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer added to the firestorm by stating "I am a woman!!! If a company makes a change that penalizes me for my gender, I am not in favor of that!!!!!!" According to sources close to Marissa, Yahoo has no plans to penalize the overuse of exclamation points or any other punctuation for that matter.
Google has yet to comment on the criticism of Platypus.
On a slight side-note, Google had previously used the codename Platypus for it's now defunct GDrive product, which was originally released in 2006. Google has wanted to reuse the name for several years and has often stated that they are committed to the success of Platypus, both the animal and the codename.

How Jupiter and Saturn Formed From Mere Pebbles
D-briefBy Liz KruesiAug 19, 2015 9:01 PM
Scientists have long puzzled over how our solar system's planets formed, because this isn't a process they can watch unfold. Researchers have generally thought that Jupiter and Saturn grew out of collisions of smaller clumps of rock and ice, building up proto-planets called planetesimals. But the prevailing model produced far too many. Scientists' new computer model found a way for these massive wonders to form from mere collections of pebbles.
When our solar system formed, it looked quite different. The four giant planets – Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune – were spaced closer together and nearer to the Sun than they are today, until their interactions flung the latter two further out into space. So the giant planets likely formed closer in than they are now. Their rock and ice cores formed first, before pulling in layers of gas to balloon them out to their current giant sizes. But the problem has been in explaining how their cores built up. The leading theory is that small clumps ranging between a few feet wide and a few hundred miles wide attracted one another to build up the cores. But models have created far too many of these – hundreds of them, instead of just the four that we see in our solar system.
Pebble Problems
As a way to get around this problem, some scientists have proposed that maybe the smaller starting materials – called pebbles – didn't all exist at the same time. In the evolution of planets, pebbles come before planetesimals. At first, dust clumps with dust, the small rocks clump with material, and finally boulders clump with material — until the solar system is filled with rocky objects between meters and hundreds of kilometers wide. In planetary science lingo, these are "pebbles." Michiel Lambrechts and Anders Johansen's "pebble accretion" theory posited that it was these pebbles that formed the basic ingredients for Jupiter and the others. Pebbles are not interacting just by gravity. Because they're embedded in a gas disk, aerodynamic drag also affects how they clump. Lambrechts and Johansen's theory incorporated this drag, but the problem was that, under that theory, the young planets grew way too fast. "I have to admit, I hated this idea when I first read it," says lead author Hal Levison, "I was trying to prove it wrong." But he and his colleagues built off of the pebble accretion theory for their study, published today in Nature.
Crunching the Numbers
Levison and his colleagues ran computer simulations to solve the equations that Lambrechts and Johansen's model were based off of. In a simulation of our solar system under the basic pebble accretion model, the scientists ended up with about 300 Earth-mass planets – way off. But they wondered what would happen if instead of having pebbles coalesce from dust all at the same time, the pebbles formed at different rates. That would create fewer at one time, maybe encouraging them to clump into fewer planets. And that was just what they saw. Planet cores began forming, but gravitational interactions quickly segregated many baby planets, throwing the smaller planets out of the disk of gas. "The smaller guys, which become more eccentric and more inclined, get scattered out of the disk where the pebbles are. Therefore they're starved and can't grow," says Levison. "Only the biggest planets remain in the same location as the pebbles," which means they can continue to grow. And that arrangement produced an impressively accurate rendition of our outer solar system. Researchers found that their simulations produced one to four gas giants between 5 and 15 astronomical units from the sun, which is where those planets orbit today.
More Modeling
The finding is far from the last word on solar system formation. For one thing, it doesn't take into account the inner planets. Simulating the formation of the inner planets is much harder because they took longer to form, so simulations need to span longer amounts of time. The inner solar system also crams more objects into a smaller space and those objects move around their orbits faster. Both of these reasons mean simulations require far more resolution elements than the outer planet models use. Levison's team plans to next investigate how the inner solar system might have formed in a "pebble accretion" model. If this theory can reproduce the formation of the four inner planets as well, planetary scientists will be one step closer to understanding how planets formed – and it would be a triumph of the interplay of computer simulations and the pebble accretion model.

A basic understanding of operating systems
Learn how to extend testing in production for databases
Change is the only constant; upgrades are inevitable. Believe it or not, this also applies to your database. There are many drivers for such changes, such as technology stack updates and new data center or event cloud migrations. A database migration isn't an easy task. Preparation and execution takes time and leaves no room for mistakes. And once you start, there's no going back. But is this the only way?
Adrian Lungu and Serban Teodorescu explain how—inspired by the green-blue deployment technique—the Adobe Audience Manager team developed an active-passive database migration procedure that allows them to test database clusters in production, minimizing the risks without compromising the innovation. It was successfully applied twice to upgrade the entire database technology stack—but it's never a smooth move when your databases are 200-node Cassandra clusters with hundreds of terabytes of data and downtime is not an option. The first migration was focused only on software upgrades. For the second upgrade, the team's confidence was so high that they added a twist: a couple of more changes besides the Cassandra version—AWS instance type, operating system, disk settings, memory settings, JVM, and a few more. What could go wrong? Well. . .everything.
Adrian and Serban describe the migration technique and present an extensible database client that makes all the active-passive management possible with just a configuration change. Yes, you heard it right. No code changes, just configurations. They then share a series of tales and lessons learned during the migration of over 500 Cassandra nodes. Most of the lessons aren't Cassandra related but instead apply to hardware, drivers, operating system, or the JVM—debugging for days and searching for that metric anomaly or that log line that would give us a hint on what went wrong. Join in to see how you can avoid some of these pitfalls in your own projects.
Adrian Lungu
Adrian Lungu is a computer scientist at Adobe working with Audience Manager, a leading solution in the DMP market. He's been focused on the company's Cassandra clusters ever since he joined the team, trying to build a scalable architecture that would keep up with the exponential growth of the product. Adrian holds a degree in computer science and engineering from Politehnica University of Bucharest as well as a DataStax Certified Apache Cassandra Professional certification.
Serban Teodorescu
Serban Teodorescu is an SRE at Adobe, where he's part of a small team that manages 20+ Cassandra clusters for Adobe Audience Manager. Previously, he was a Python programmer, and he's still trying to find out how a developer who preferred SQL databases ended up as an SRE for a Cassandra team. Apart from Cassandra and Python, he's interested in automating infrastructure provisioning with Terraform.

I several TV Series added to the TV Series detection over ride....did not know there was an over ride for movies. Where is that setting located??
No TV series detection overrides a different feature. Mode override detection tell MCM to only fetch in that mode so all movies could be fetched as tv (as your log only shows a search from tvdb).
Only worry about if override is enabled or not.
The over ride was not enabled and enabling does not get the movie scanned.
BTW....thanks for you help. I would have simply given up long before now.
Well....MCM suddenly recognized the movie and added to my collection. I did not make any changes to MCM.
So I guess the issues is resolved.

Atlanta airport power outage cancels 1,000 flights; more Delta cancellations Monday
Passengers wait for the lights to come back on at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport Sunday, Dec. 17, 2017. Authorities say a power outage at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has disrupted ingoing and outgoing flights. Airport spokesman Reese McCraine says the outage occurred early Sunday afternoon. He says all airport operations are being affected and that outgoing flights were halted. [Steve Schaefer/Atlanta Journal-Constitution via AP]
ATLANTA — A sudden power outage brought the world's busiest airport to a standstill Sunday, grounding more than 1,000 flights in Atlanta just days before the start of the Christmas travel rush.
Authorities announced that electricity would be restored at the Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport by midnight. But today, Delta Air Lines will cancel hundreds of flights as it works to get back on schedule.
Passengers at the airport were left in the dark when the lights went out at around 1 p.m. The outage halted all outgoing flights, and arriving planes were held on the ground at their point of departure. International flights were being diverted, officials said.
Delta passenger Emilia Duca, 32, was on her way to Wisconsin from Bogota, Colombia, when she got stuck in Atlanta. She said police made passengers who were in the baggage-claim area move to a higher floor. She said restaurants and shops were closed. Vending machines weren't working.
"A lot of people are arriving, and no one is going out. No one is saying anything official. We are stuck here," she said. "It's a nightmare."
Delta, with its biggest hub operation in Atlanta, will be hardest hit. By evening, Delta had already canceled almost 800 Sunday flights and another 250 today, nearly all of them in Atlanta, according to tracking service FlightAware.com.
Robert Mann, an aviation consultant and former American Airlines executive, said it likely will be Tuesday before Delta's operations in Atlanta return to normal, and for passengers "it could be most of the week" because there aren't many open seats on other flights in the last week before Christmas.
"Tomorrow is going to be a long and difficult day for everybody," Mann said.
One bit of good news, according to Mann: Delta has more spare planes and available crews in Atlanta than anywhere else, which will help it to recover.
Still, when flights at Atlanta were grounded for most of one day last spring, it took Delta five days — and about 4,000 cancelled flights — before it fully recovered.
Like Sunday's outage, that April storm hit Delta's largest hub at a busy travel time when there weren't many empty seats to accommodate customers from cancelled flights. At the time, CEO Ed Bastian vowed that Delta would make "significant improvements" to its system for scheduling and tracking aircraft crews to recover more quickly from disruptions.
While Delta was hit hardest by the outage, other airlines also canceled flights for the rest of Sunday. American Airlines canceled 24 departures and an equal number of arrivals, said spokesman Ross Feinstein. The airline also diverted three planes that were headed to Atlanta when the outage struck, sending them instead to Dallas, Nashville and back to Philadelphia.

Flight schedules at Tampa International Airport were spared large disruptions.
TIA spokeswoman Janet Zink said that a dozen flights, a mix of departures and arrivals on Delta and Southwest airlines, were canceled.
Still, Zink said, "It's been relatively quiet at the airport other than early in the night when there was a long line at a Delta counter of passengers getting re-booked."
The FAA said it would staff the Hartsfield airport control tower throughout the night so that it can handle flights once they resume. The FAA said the tower could operate normally but flights were affected because airport equipment in the terminals was not working.
According to a Georgia Power statement, a fire in an underground electrical facility may have been responsible for the outage. The cause of the fire was not known.
"No personnel or passengers were in danger at any time," the statement said.
No areas outside of the airport were affected by the power loss. The utility said that there are "many redundant systems in place" to ensure the power supply to the airport and that such outages at the airport "are very rare."
That wasn't enough to comfort Jeff Smith, 46, of Pittsburgh, who ended up stuck in a plane on the tarmac for three hours after it landed.
"This is the worst experience I've ever had at an airport," he said.
Sara Melillo, who was traveling to Pittsburgh from Kenya, where she lives with her husband, Greg Presto, to spend Christmas with his family were stuck on the tarmac for six hours. The couple had made stops in Nairobi and Amsterdam and landed shortly after the lights went out in Atlanta.
She said the pilot didn't have a lot of information for the travelers but the plane had air conditioning and attendants offered water and juice a few times. She described the Delta terminal as "big chaos" with not enough customer service for the hundreds of people trying to find a flight to their next destination and a place to sleep for the night.
With her new boarding pass handwritten and her bags still stuck on a plane, Melillo was hopeful that she and her husband would be able to get a flight in the morning to Pittsburgh, she said as she waited for an Uber to take them to a hotel.
By evening, power had been restored to at least one concourse. On its Twitter page Sunday night the airport tweeted, "Power on Concourse F is back ON! We are working with great urgency w/ @GeorgiaPower to restore power throughout rest of airport." Airport workers were distributing bottled water, and Dunkin' Donuts was giving out doughnuts.
Officer Lisa Bender of the Atlanta Police Department said officers were at the airport to help with crowd control and managing traffic around the airport.
At Southwest Airlines, about 70 Atlanta departures out of 120 scheduled for Sunday were canceled, an airline spokesman said in an email. United Airlines and JetBlue Airways were among carriers reporting delays or cancellations.
Mozell Smith, 58, of Atlanta arrived at the airport hours after the electricity went off. He was headed to Las Vegas with a sister and a friend.
"This is terrible. I wish someone would've given us a heads-up before we got to the airport," he said. "I wish there would have been better communication."
American Airlines reported only a handful of diversions and cancellations because the carrier does not use Atlanta as a hub, airline spokeswoman Alexis Aran Coello.
Hartsfield-Jackson, which serves 104 million passengers a year, is the world's busiest airport, a distinction it has held since 1998.
The airport serves an average of 275,000 passengers daily, according to its website. Nearly 2,500 planes arrive and depart each day.
Times staff writer Paul Guzzo contributed to this report.

I HAD to have a giggle at the whiny little dig at the riparian owners in Van der Riet and elsewhere.
The municipality decided years ago that they were not interested in the towpath and it deteriorated into a mini-jungle.
We could not get them to regularly mow so we took to doing it ourselves either via a garden service or on our own – bottom line, we pay!
If it were not for our continuous maintenance of the public open space, you would have the weeds a metre high and filled with duwweltjies – we pay!
Most of us use weed-killer regularly to keep the grass alive and the thorns dead – we pay!
The jetties that you want to use were built and paid for by us. The municipality is not interested and I don't blame them as upkeep is awful – bottom line, we pay!
The jetties have gates to prevent kids from playing on them and possibly falling off and being injured. If we're sued – we pay!
We are not keen on people using the jetties as they leave the gates open and the wind then breaks the gate – we pay!
On top of that they leave all their muck on the jetty, including old bait, hooks, rocks and the like.
I do agree that the rotten jetties should be repaired or removed.


Before retailers convince us that our children or grandchildren must have what many parents and grandparents will be buying for holiday gifts, let's take a look at what artisans on the Front Range are offering. Every Wednesday for the next few weeks, "Handmade on the Front Range" will feature an artisan making items for children . . . and sometimes for our own inner child.
The bustle around Pat Abbitt's booth of colorful stuffed animals at Boulder's Firefly Market this summer looked a lot like Christmas season in July. The animals were making quite a stir when I came by . . . so let's start there.
Lions and Zebras and Sheep . . . Oh My!
Stuffed toys by Pat Abbitt attracted buyers at July's Firefly Market in Boulder. All of her animals show remarkable workmanship and attention to detail, including stitching on the feet appropriate for each type of animal.
Bright cotton prints adorned a variety of childhood favorites that Pat had made – lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, hippos, and sheep, to name a few. "Yes, they're machine washable," I heard Pat telling interested visitors at her booth. Unique, colorful, and innately sweet, Pat's creations were a natural to draw a crowd; but it was surely Pat's workmanship that turned lookers into buyers.
I picked up a zebra and admired its secure seams and resilient shape. Most of all, I marveled at the decorative stitching that added detail to its stripes. Next to the zebra stood an elephant with decorative stitching that mimicked the folds of a live elephant's skin. As I ran my hand over it, I realized that the stitching added texture as well as visual appeal by pulling the skin tight.
What a phenomenal amount of work, I thought to myself! I wanted to learn more about it, and Pat seemed delighted to oblige.
Lines of decorative stitching gives Pat Abbitt's animals texture and interest. Eyes are made of tight spirals of quilting thread stitched by machine.
Pat made her first elephant 13 years ago when her granddaughter was born, and she swore she would never make another. The work required was beyond reason, she decided, even for a grandmother.
Ever the seamstress, Pat turned her attention to making nursery ensembles ordered by decorators. Comforters, bumpers, dust ruffles, and curtains – whatever it took to complete a baby's room, Pat made.
A few years went by and Pat started thinking how nice it would be for her customers to have a stuffed animal that matched the nursery. She pulled out the Rumpled Quilt Skins pattern that had given her so much grief and tried it again, this time making adjustments to construction techniques.
Pat Abbitt uses a wide variety of fabrics and patterns to make animals from It's a Zoo unique. Pink and purple sheep on the middle shelf await the addition of fleece which Pat will add by hand, one ruffle at a time.
The elephants were such a hit that decorators were soon ordering just the elephants to put in children's rooms for shows. Pat bought patterns for other animals to expand her offerings. Before long she was making far more animals than baby comforters.
One day she walked into her home workshop and was overwhelmed by all the pieces of projects lying around. She threw up her hands in the midst of all the fabric around her and exclaimed, "It's a zoo!" With that, her business It's A Zoo was officially born.
It's A Zoo has become so successful, Pat wonders how she will keep up with demand. For starters, her granddaughter who received the first elephant 13 years ago now helps out by cutting some of the simpler pieces.
"It all begins with fabric," Pat Abbitt said as she explained her production process in her home workshop in Broomfield. Certain prints speak of particular animals.
Pat still uses Rumpled Quilt Skins patterns for many of her animals, but she has also made some of her own, particularly when special requests have come from customers.
Her fabrics comes primarily from local quilt shops, where she finds 100% cotton prints with a high thread count and high-quality dyes. To buy wholesale, Pat explained, she has to buy complete bolts of fabric; so she buys smaller quantities at retail prices to keep variety at the Zoo.
No matter how high the quality, before quilting fabric enters the workshop, Pat launders it to make sure it won't shrink or fade in a future wash.
Pat Abbitt lines every piece of her animals' "skins" with muslin before adding decorative stitching.
Pearl the snake was in the early stages of production the day I visited Pat's home workshop in Broomfield. Pat had lined Pearl's "skin" with muslin, a thin woven cotton, and had started adding decorative stitching.
To add extra texture to skin of some animals, she places thin cotton batting (the filling used in quilts) between the outer print and the muslin.Whether she's sewing straight lines on a snake's back or curved lines on an elephant's ear, Pat uses the same thread, equipment, and technique that a quilter would use.
Sylvia the snake was farther along than Pearl. With the print of the belly against the print of the back, Pat had stitched the seams not once but twice before turning Sylvia right side out – as she does with every animal.
Sylvia the snake awaited "feeding" with premium polyester fiberfill in the It's A Zoo workshop.
Next she had given Sylvia a "hot bath" and time in the drier to shrink the muslin lining. When the muslin shrank, the decorative stitching pulled tight against the print skin, adding texture even where no batting was used.
The feeding stage comes next, according to Pat. Sylvia will eat premium polyester fiberfill until she's stuffed. A tummy tuck will follow, Pat added – tiny hand stitches over the belly, pulled taut and closed tight.
Incidentally, Pat names all the animals she makes sometime during their production. She doesn't know quite where the names come from . . . but to me they're a sure sign she derives a lot of pleasure from each animal she makes.

Christmas is almost here and I want the holiday to be very special for my kids, as any mom would. I have fond memories of spending time with family over the years, but also sharing holiday meals together eating some special foods that we seemed to only eat around the holidays and looked forward to every year. I am experimenting with different holiday recipes in the lead up this year, most of which are from my family's personal recipes, and I am adapting them to be gluten free and dairy free. The first is Gluten Free Cranberry Orange Bread. It makes a great snack or dessert, though beware it is so good you really can't have just one slice! I love that it has a sweet and tart component, and I think children and adults alike will appreciate this recipe.
This recipe makes two loaves of cranberry orange bread and is both gluten free and dairy free.
If you are not using a non stick baking loaf pan, then be sure to lightly grease your two loaf pans with coconut oil to prevent sticking later.
Combine eggs, sugar, oil, zest, and orange juice in a stand mixer or use an electric beater.
Mix the flour, baking powder, and baking soda together in a separate bowl.
Slowly add the dry mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
Add the cranberries and fold them in with a spatula until they are evenly spread out.
Pour into loaf pans and use your spatula to smooth out the top.
Remove from heat and let it cool for 15 minutes.
Flip the pans over onto a cooling rack (they should come out nicely, but if you have difficulty, try using a knife around the edges first and then try flipping again).
Flip them back so they're right side up and let them finish cooling.

Letter to the Editor — Look out for your mates
Latest news for veterans
Meet our veterans
75 days, 75 stories
Vetaffairs
This month on 27 June it will be PTSD Awareness Day and I urge all Australians to look out for their mates who may be experiencing poor mental health and encourage them to seek support and treatment as early as possible.
While service in the Australian Defence Force (ADF) is an overwhelmingly positive experience for most, the unique nature of military service can have an impact on the mental health of our current and former ADF personnel and their families.
Current and former ADF personnel and their families have access to free and confidential counselling and support through Open Arms — Veterans & Families Counselling. This life-saving support is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week by calling 1800 011 046. There are also valuable tools, apps and information on the Open Arms website for people seeking support for themselves and others, including a new online Suicide Prevention program that will help you start a conversation with someone you may be worried about. Open Arms was founded by our Vietnam veterans and it is their enduring legacy to ensure all Australian veterans and their families have access to free mental health support.
In addition, current ADF members and their families can contact the Defence All-hours support line, a confidential service that is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week by calling 1800 628 036.
Through the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA), veterans can access free mental health care for any mental health condition. This is available for life and doesn't need to be linked to military service. I urge any Australian veteran who needs help to reach out to DVA on 1800 VETERAN (1800 838 372).
By connecting people with these services to start with, it can open the path to recovery. If you are an ADF member, veteran, or a family member experiencing mental health challenges, there is support available to you. If you are a friend of one of these groups and have concerns, start a conversation and get your mates some help. Mental health is everyone's business and together we can all make a difference and help someone get the support they require.
Darren Chester
Minister for Veterans' Affairs
Minister for Defence Personnel

Matfield Women's Institute is a friendly group of about 45 members with a wide range of interests. We meet on the 1st Wednesday evening of each month in Matfield Village Hall as well as holding a variety of activities and outings. For our meetings, we choose varied speakers, some to inspire, some to entertain. Coffee and chat gives us the chance to get to know one another and to find out about forthcoming events. We welcome visitors to any of our meetings and the programme for 2019 is shown below.
We started in October 1921 and Teresa Sassoon, mother of the wartime poet Siegfried, was one of our founding members. To read more about the first 90 years of Matfield WI, click here.
Our programme this year has a good mix of topics, including a chocolate making demonstration, 'Ups and Downs of a Wedding Photographer' and 'A Schoolgirl's War'. Each month we also arrange outings and activities. Last year, our outings included a trip to the Royal Albert Hall, a visit to Winchester Christmas Market and theatre trips.
Separate clubs and activities within Matfield WI are varied and all members are invited to come along to any which interest them and which also involves tea and cake and the odd glass of wine!
•	Our book club meets once a month to discuss the book we have read the month before - then time for a chat!
•	The two darts teams meet once a week and enter annual inter-WI competitions.
•	The knitting group meets monthly to knit our own projects, baby knits for Pembury premature unit and recently, knitted tea cosies which we entered for a competition at the Horticultural Society Summer Show in July.
•	Monthly local walks during the summer months, ending up with tea and cakes at a nearby cafe.
•	Our Matfield Melody Makers took part in a Federation concert.
•	Mahjong - we play at monthly get-togethers in Gray's cafe.
At last year's village fete in July, we again served teas and home-baked cakes from the pavilion, as well as running a plant stall. The money raised helps to contribute to St Luke's Church and the Hospice in the Weald as well as adding to our own funds. We have also become quite famous for our afternoon teas and ploughman's lunches made for visiting groups on several occasions every year.
Each year local WIs are invited to submit entries for the Barratt Cup competition at the Horticultural Society's summer show. In 2018, the theme was "A Cricket Tea" and our entry is shown here.
The County WI Federation has its Headquarters in Pembury and organises conferences, workshops and events on a variety of subjects including craft, sport, home economics, the environment and public affairs. The West Kent Federation page on the WI website can be found here.
The National Federation of Women's Institutes has its website at www.thewi.org.uk. The NFWI runs Denman College ( www.denmancollege.org.uk ) which is the WI's own residential Adult Education College near Oxford. It is a Georgian House set in seventeen acres of beautiful gardens. Courses cover a vast range of subjects and are open to all members.
Enjoying Christmas craft evening and party food 2018!

Anna Judic, née Anne-Marie-Louise Damien, le  à Semur-en-Auxois et morte le  à Golfe-Juan (Alpes-Maritimes), est une comédienne française.

Biographie
Fille de François Damien, marchand, et de Marie-Pierrette Renard, fille d'une buraliste du théâtre du Gymnase, et nièce de Montigny, directeur dudit théâtre, elle a eu, de bonne heure, le goût du théâtre. Sa mère, qui ne partageait pas ses aspirations, la plaça fort jeune chez une lingère du boulevard des Italiens. Après qu'elle a menacé de se laisser mourir d'inanition si on continuait à résister à son désir de monter sur scène, son oncle, touché de cette volonté, la retira du magasin pour la faire entrer, en , au conservatoire de Paris dans la classe de Regnier, et voulut compléter son éducation par des leçons de chant et de piano, notamment avec Amélie Perronnet.

Avant même d'avoir terminé ses études, n'ayant pas encore dix-huit ans, elle a épousé, le , Léon-Émile Israël dit Judic (1843-1884), régisseur du café-concert l'Eldorado, dont elle a adopté le nom à la scène. Deux mois après, elle débutait au Gymnase dans des rôles de second et troisième ordre, comme les Grandes Demoiselles, comédie en un acte d'Edmond Gondinet ou les Malheurs d'un Amant heureux. Elle ne poursuivit pas ses débuts dans la comédie et, profitant de ses études musicales, elle accepta un engagement, relativement brillant, à l'Eldorado, où son succès fut immédiat.

Se faisant véritablement remarquer dans un répertoire de chansons « légères » où son apparente candeur fait passer les sous-entendus les plus grivois. Possédant à fond l'art de laisser entendre sans souligner, par ces gestes, l'air d'une novice, la tournure un peu gauche, elle osait à peine lever les yeux, sa bouche esquissait un sourire naïf, et son regard étonné semblait dire qu'elle ne comprenait pas un traitre mot de ce qu'elle chantait. Sa voix douce comme le murmure d'une onde limpide, dissimulant sous une émotion contenue, ou sous le rire inconscient de l'ingénuité, les mots risqués, sauvait par une tenue d'une grâce parfaite, les situations les plus hasardées.

Son charme, sa diction, sa gaité, ont contribué à faire de l'opérette française un genre envié à l'étranger. Aux dires de ses contemporains, elle avait « une voix frêle » mais « un timbre ravissant ». Selon Sir Télégraph, de l'Écho de Jarnac, sa voix était, en outre, .
L'immense succès de Paola et Pietro, opérette de Paul Henrion paraissait devoir lui ouvrir les portes des Bouffes-Parisiens ou des Variétés , mais la guerre de 1870 devait en décider autrement en termina son engagement à l'Eldorado. Le , cette dernière quittait cette petite scène où elle s'était produite pendant 2 ans, dont elle avait fait la fortune. Pendant la période du Siège et de la Commune, elle parcourut en triomphatrice toute la Belgique. À Bruxelles, notamment, elle a reçu des ovations sans précédent.

À la reprise de l'activité des théâtres de Paris, revenue en France, Jacques Offenbach l'a engagée à la Gaîté pour y créer le rôle de la princesse Cunégonde dans Le Roi Carotte, son opéra-féerie avec Victorien Sardou. Cependant, l'ouvrage n'étant pas prêt, elle alla donner dix représentations à l'Alcazar, de Marseille puis, de retour à Paris, concourut à l'ouverture du théâtre des Folies-Bergères avec la chanson Ne me chatouillez pas, et y créa le Memnon, ou la Sagesse humaine, de Charles Grisart. Ensuite elle se donna tout entière aux répétitions du Roi Carotte.

Elle quitte alors la Gaîté pour répondre aux offres brillantes de Jules Noriac, qui la voulait pour sa pièce la Timbale d'argent aux Bouffes-Parisiens de Léon Vasseur, où elle connait ses premiers succès de comédienne. Cette pièce, dont la première représentation a eu lieu le  a consacré sa réputation et l'a fait reconnaitre comme incomparable dans ce genre nouveau, dont elle peut être considérée comme la créatrice. Sans elle, on n'aurait pas osé écrire la Timbale, et sans elle, la pièce aurait été trouvée obscène. Après plus de deux cents représentations consécutives de la Timbale d'argent, caractérisé par la délicatesse du chant, la finesse de l'esprit, le gout exquis, elle a créé successivement : La Petite Reine, de Noriac, Adolphe Jaime et Léon Vasseur (9 janvier 1873). La Rosière d'ici, de Armand Liorat et Léon Roques (27 janvier 1873). Le Mouton enragé, monologue par Noriac (20 mai 1873). Le Grelot d'Eugène Grangé et Victor Bernard, musique de Vasseur. Ces diverses pièces, moins réussies que la Timbale, ont néanmoins dû tout leur succès à la souplesse du talent de Judic.

Après son immense succès anglo-belge, elle a fait la réouverture des Bouffes par une reprise de la Timbale, puis créa encore successivement : La Quenouille de verre de Millaud et Heugel, musique de Grisart (novembre 1873). La Branche cassée, de Jaime et Noriac, musique de Serpette (janvier 1874). Mariée depuis midi, musique de Jacobi, créé à Londres (mars 1874). Les Parisiennes, de Jules Moinaux et Victor Koning, musique de Léon Vasseur (avril 1874). Madame l'archiduc, La Créole, Bagatelle d'Offenbach. Ayant rencontré, en , l'un des librettistes de La Quenouille de verre, Albert Millaud, elle quitte son mari pour l'épouser, en 1874, et doit s'arrêter, enceinte, en janvier 1875, avant de repartir en tournée à Saint-Pétersbourg.

À son retour, elle reprend La Créole aux Bouffes, mais ne rencontre pas le même succès. En 1876, elle passe au théâtre des Variétés, dont elle sera l'étoile durant près de vingt ans. Elle y retrouve Offenbach dont elle crée le Docteur Ox et reprend les rôles mythiques d'Hortense Schneider : La Belle Hélène, La Grande-duchesse de Gérolstein… Elle étrenne surtout une collaboration prolifique avec Hervé. En 1878, Aimé Perret présente son portrait au Salon de Paris.

À partir de , elle interprète avec succès les opérettes écrites pour elle par Albert Millaud, La Roussotte (musique de Charles Lecocq, Hervé, etc.), Lili, La Femme à papa et Mam'zelle Nitouche, ainsi que le vaudeville Niniche de . Le , elle commence à interpréter la comédie-opérette Mam'zelle Nitouche, son chef-d'œuvre, avec laquelle elle connaît un grand succès. Elle la joue pendant un an et gagne plus d'un million de francs, lui permettant de faire construire le somptueux hôtel Judic.

Après l'échec cuisant de la Cosaque d'Hervé en 1884, elle se met à voyager, se produit aux théâtre des Menus-Plaisirs, à l'Eldorado et à l'Alcazar d'été, sans retrouver l'immense succès de ses débuts. Elle se lance dans une seconde carrière de comédienne et joue avec Jean Coquelin, Antoine et Lucien Guitry. Elle retrouve le Gymnase dans des rôles de « mères » (Le Bourgeon, Le Secret de Polichinelle, L'Âge difficile) auxquels elle apporte « une tendresse, une douceur et une bonhomie touchantes ». Elle alterne alors les reprises des pièces lyriques et les pièces de théâtre. De mai à , elle fait une tournée en Amérique latine où elle remporte un grand succès. En , elle est décorée par le sultan Abdülhamid II à Constantinople.

Devenue veuve en 1884, des problèmes financiers l'obligent à vendre son mobilier, la même année, puis son hôtel particulier de la rue Nouvelle, en 1894. Elle se retire alors à Chatou. Elle crée, en , l'Âge difficile de Jules Lemaître au Gymnase, incarnant une mère tendre et douce. Elle est décorée de l'ordre de l'Aigle blanc, en 1896, à Belgrade, par le roi Alexandre I de Serbie.

Se sentant vieillir, elle s'est retirée, après une dernière apparition aux Folies-Bergère en 1900, dans un vieux moulin dans sa Bourgogne natale, à Avallon, s'y livrant à l'élevage des poules, ce qui lui a valu d'être nommée chevalier du Mérite agricole. En 1910, aux premières atteintes du mal qui devait l'emporter, on la mena dans le Midi, à Golfe-Juan, où elle devait mourir l'année suivante, mais le soleil et le printemps ont été sans force contre ses souffrances. Elle repose au cimetière de Montmartre (25 division).

Postérité
Une estampe de Toulouse-Lautrec la représente en 1894 dans sa loge en compagnie du compositeur Désiré Dihau.

Selon certaines sources, elle aurait servi de modèle à Émile Zola pour le personnage de Rose Mignon dans Nana. Selon Ludovic Halévy, son mari s'était battu avec Millaud dans les coulisses des Bouffes-Parisiens lorsqu'il avait appris les infidélités de sa femme avec ce dernier, avant de se raviser, et de gérer la liaison de sa femme avec celui-ci, comme Mignon, avec sa femme et Fauchery, dans Nana.

Le lycée de Semur-en-Auxois porte son nom.

At Cable Bay Vineyards we dare to be different. This attribute is expressed in many ways, ranging from our unique winegrowing relationship with our local <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Waiheke Island community - to our minute attention to detail when growing and making wine. The company has been developed by a small group of wine lovers who are passionate about New Zealand and its wines. Our goal is to produce a select range of high quality wines from grapes grown on Waiheke Island and in Marlborough: Sauvignon Blanc, Gew�rztraminer, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and a Bordeaux-style blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec.
In 2004, after careful analysis, we removed vines from some of our Waiheke Island sites and re-planted them with Pinot Gris, Viognier and Syrah. We believe these sites are ideally suited to these varietals, and the first two vintages are showing tremendous promise.
A combination of outstanding vineyard sites in two of New Zealand�s best wine producing areas, careful viticultural management in an environmentally sustainable manner and expert wine making help Cable Bay Vineyards achieve our goal of crafting exquisite wines that are known for their subtlety, elegance and depth.
Cable Bay Vineyards could best be described as an innovative traditionalist. We use traditional winemaking and viticultural techniques in order to ensure our wines best express the unique attributes of their individual vineyard sites. Yet our �community approach� to our vineyard holdings is unique in New Zealand.

                });
            }
        },

I tried the following, but something doesn't not work
import { shallowMount } from '@vue/test-utils';
import UserModal from "../src/views/UserModal";

describe('UsarModal', () => {
    it('should throw error when first name is too short', () => {

        const myItems = [
            {
            username: "Heinz",
            firstname: "H",
            lasname: "Müller"}
        ]

        const wrapper = shallowMount(UserModal, {
            input: {
                myItems
            }
        })

        expect(wrapper.vm.createUser()).toThrow("Firstname to short/long/empty")
    })
})

A: since in the code, it is throwing an error, so we will need to add a catch block in our test case to test this scenario. PFB example for your case:
try {
    wrapper.vm.createUser();
  } catch (error) {
    expect(error).toBe('Firstname to short/long/empty');
  }

let me know if you face any issue.

A: What you did in your example is very close. You just need to wrap the function call that is going to throw the exception in a lambda, e.g.
        expect(() => wrapper.vm.createUser()).toThrow("Firstname to short/long/empty")

As described in the docs: https://jestjs.io/docs/expect#tothrowerror
It's probably doing something like internally wrapping the lambda in a try/catch, but I think using this method is a bit nicer than wrapping in a try/catch in your own test.

A: Thanks for the tip! But still something is not working right. It seems for me, that it does not accept my mock-data for input. I want to test if a got an error when I use a username which is too short. But even when I put a username that's long enough, the try catch block catches my error as you can see in the attached picture.
import {shallowMount} from '@vue/test-utils'
import UserModal from "./UserModal";

describe('ParentComponent', () => {
test("displays 'Emitted!' when custom event is emitted", () => {
    const wrapper = shallowMount(UserModal, {
                input: {
                    username: "asfsf",
                    firstname: "thomas",
                    lastname: "bird",
                    title: "Dr.",
                    password: "asdasda",
                    groupId: "2",
                    groups: [],}

    });

    try {
        wrapper.vm.createUser();
    } catch (error) {
        expect(error).toBe("username missing");
    }
})
});

The Mexican government has already offered some caravan members asylum, Nielsen said. She directed those wishing to emigrate from their home countries to settle there.
She went on to outline the ways asylum is different from other means of immigration — reasons why, she said, caravan members should not continue to the U.S. border.
Like President Donald Trump, Nielsen also made indirect reference to the possibility that the caravan might include terrorists — an assertion that has yet to be backed by evidence.
