        {"status":"1","messageid":"157142","gsm":"9211111111115"},
        {"status":"1","messageid":"157130","gsm":"9211111111116"}
        ]}';
?>

I want to get:
type            = text
totalprice      = 0.05
totalgsm        = 6
remainingcredit = 63.6433

status=1 messageid=157157 gsm=9211111111111
status=1 messageid=157157 gsm=9211111111112
status=1 messageid=157157 gsm=9211111111113
status=1 messageid=157157 gsm=9211111111114

I want to insert in MYSQLDB in 2 queries:
First INSERT Query for type = text, totalprice = 0.05, totalgsm = 6, remainingcredit = 63.6433
Second INSERT Query for messages array
Using foreach to insert all given
status=1 messageid=157157 gsm=9211111111111
status=1 messageid=157157 gsm=9211111111112
status=1 messageid=157157 gsm=9211111111113
status=1 messageid=157157 gsm=9211111111114

Please Guide me how to decode this type of json response and how to parse to insert in DB?

A: you can use json_decode() in php to decode this string.
$data = json_decode($string);

A: I think you are wanting to use json_decode as stated by @myeishvar.
This will get turn your JSON string into a PHP array.
$records = json_decode($string);
print_r($records); // Display the array contents

This will echo the required information for each record in the array.
foreach ($records as $record) {
 echo 'Type: '.$record->type.'
';
 echo 'Total Price: '.$record->totalprice.'
';
 echo 'Total GSM: '.$record->totalgsm.'
';
 echo 'Remaining Credit: '.$record->remainingcredit.'
';
 echo '
';
}

This is an example of building a query with foreach which you can use to insert values into individual records in a database table.
$sql='INSERT INTO recordtable (type, totalprice, totalgsm, remainingcredit) VALUES ';
foreach ($records as $record) {
    $sql .= '('.$record->$type.', '.$record->$totalprice.', '.$record->$totalgsm.', '.$record->$remainingcredit.'), '
}
...do your SQL query...

I should note that if this data is from user input (a form), it should be properly sanitized before inserting it into the database.

A: May this way you have to do:
$string = json_decode('{"type":"Text","totalprice":"0.05","totalgsm":"6","remaincredit":"63.6433","messages": [
    {"status":"1","messageid":"157157","gsm":"9211111111111"},
    {"status":"1","messageid":"157154","gsm":"9211111111112"},
    {"status":"1","messageid":"157151","gsm":"9211111111113"},
    {"status":"1","messageid":"157149","gsm":"9211111111114"},
    {"status":"1","messageid":"157142","gsm":"9211111111115"},
    {"status":"1","messageid":"157130","gsm":"9211111111116"}
    ]}', true);

$type = $string['type'];
$totalprice = $string['totalprice'];
$totalgsm = $string['totalgsm'];
$remaincredit = $string['remaincredit'];

/** Insert using First Query **/

/** Now for message array **/
foreach ($string['messages'] as $key => $msg) {
    $status = $msg['status'];
    $msg_id = $msg['messageid'];
    $gsm = $msg['gsm'];
    /*** Insert using your second query ***/
    /** ------------------------ **/
}

Bus lane and camera plan unveiled for A50 Groby Road into Leicester
Lanes for general traffic would be reduced from two to one
New bus lane cameras are planned
A new bus lane is proposed on one of the busiest roads into Leicester.
City council bosses intend to run it along the city-bound stretch of Groby Road between Mary Road and Medina Road – reducing the number of lanes for general traffic from two to one.
It would be policed round-the-clock by an enforcement camera issuing £60 fines to drivers using it illegally and a 30mph speed limit would be applied along the route which is currently 40mph.
The council says the A50 Groby Road is a major route for bus services into the city the volume of traffic creates a pinch point that affects the reliability and punctuality of services.
Deputy city mayor for environment and transportation councillor Adam Clarke said: "Traffic surveys have highlighted that this stretch of the Groby Road is a pinch-point for buses and that affects journey times and reliability of services for passengers.
"It's important the council does all it can to encourage people to take the bus, not least because transport is responsible for a quarter of our city's carbon emissions.
"Ensuring buses are reliable and have priority will help us to further improve the city's air quality and help address the climate emergency."
The council is carrying out an online consultation on the measures which runs to the end of the month.
The consultation will run until Monday, September 30.
A drop-in event to discuss the scheme will be held at the Woodgate Resource Centre, 36 Woodgate, on Friday 13 September, from 11am to 7pm.
The Groby Road bus lane would be part of a series of projects the council is proceeding with across the city bringing in additional enforcement on bus-only routes.
It says it wants to stop cars impeding buses so they can reach their stops without delay.
It hopes this will make public transport a more attractive option to private care use in the city which could reduce congestion on its traffic-choked roads.
More widely the council is considering establishing a workplace parking levy - a tax on parking spaces owned by city employers.
The controversial idea could generate up to £7 million a year to be used to improve Leicester's network of bus services.

When Will Outdoor Dining Return to LA?
Like all things COVID, the future remains unclear.
By Danielle Dorsey
Published on 12/21/2020 at 5:52 PM
Manuela DTLA
In March, when Governor Gavin Newsom invoked California's status as a "nation-state," in order to create stricter coronavirus guidelines during a time when the President was still skeptical of the virus' legitimacy, residents eagerly fell in line with the new restrictions, determined to do their part to "slow the spread." The restaurant industry pulled off a Tony Hawk-worthy pivot, shifting first to takeout and delivery options then gearing up with PPE and expanding their parking lots into astroturfed, string-lit patios when Mayor Garcetti announced his LA Alfresco initiative in late May.
Months into this new "normal," Angelenos were dealt yet another blow the day before Thanksgiving, when the LA County Board of Supervisors approved the closure of outdoor dining for at least the following three weeks. The cities of Pasadena and Long Beach, which have their own separate health departments, overruled the order to keep outdoor dining open, while Beverly Hills, Whittier, and Lancaster began taking measures to create their own health departments. However, all cities' plans were stymied when the new state order superseded their directives.
Union Restaurant Pasadena
What's the current status of outdoor dining in LA?
Overlapping the LA County order that went into effect on November 25, the newest stay-at-home orders went into effect on December 6, and ban outdoor dining across 11 Southern California counties until at least December 28, depending on whether ICU capacity increases to 15% or more beds available by that time. If the region remains below 15% capacity, the order will be extended three more weeks. As of December 21, Southern California had 0% ICU availability.
How is the restaurant industry coping with the latest restrictions?
The same day that the new state order went into effect, restaurant and bar owners protested outside of LA County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl's Santa Monica home. Kuehl came under fire for dining outdoors at a restaurant mere hours after she had voted to eliminate outdoor dining, with protestors insisting they were being punished for a surge in cases without proof that outdoor dining contributes to the spread of the virus. Many in the industry argue that outdoor dining decreases the amount of people gathering indoors in private residences, which has been proven to spread the virus.
Shortly after the December 6 outdoor dining ban went into effect, the California Restaurant Association brought a suit challenging the order. Superior Court Judge James Chalfant sided with the association and ruled that the LA County Health Director had acted "arbitrarily" in banning outdoor dining without presenting evidence of its risk in spreading the virus or weighing the benefits of the restrictions against their costs. Judge Chalfant shortened the ban to three weeks (set to end on December 16) and ordered that the Department of Public Health conduct a risk-benefit analysis before attempting to extend the ban. Though the suit represented a win for the much-beleaguered industry, LA County has since appealed that ruling, calling Judge Chalfant's ruling, "plainly erroneous and directly contrary to governing law" and saying that the ban is well within the powers of the Department of Public Health, while citing the latest wave of COVID infections as justification. This latest appeal makes it unlikely that the association will escalate to challenge the state order, but it sets the grounds for similar challenges in the future.
The Rose Venice
Unable to sustain another COVID-inflicted change after several pivots to meet regulations, many of LA's favorite eateries—Manuela in DTLA, Fingers Crossed in Hollywood, and The Rose Venice, to name just a few—have closed temporarily, hoping that the new year will bring clarity on the future of dining out.
Across other parts of the city and Southern California counties, some restaurant owners, frustrated with the seemingly endless back-and-forth and skeptical of the efficacy of the latest outdoor dining ban, have begun openly defying the orders.
Is outdoor dining still happening illegally?
Several days after the order was imposed, restaurants in downtown Fullerton continued serving customers in outdoor patio areas and on city property. In Manhattan Beach, officials re-categorized outdoor dining areas as public seating, a policy that quickly drew criticism from the county's Department of Public Health. Further south in Temecula's Old Town, restaurant and bar owners have banded together to defy the state orders and thus far, Riverside County has held off on penalizing them with fees. In Orange County, more than 60 restaurants have remained open for outdoor seating, using the hashtag #OpenSafe to draw attention to their protests. Mastro's Ocean Club in Malibu has continued serving diners under a tented setup revealed by TMZ, and Tinhorn Flats in Burbank declared on their Facebook page that they will not observe the mandate and has continued serving diners on their patio.
Brewery X
Where is it legal to eat outdoors in Southern California?
Diners don't necessarily have to risk penalization tickets or public judgment when searching for outdoor dining options. Places like the Row DTLA have previously installed public seating that can be used when ordering takeout from restaurants Pikunico, Rappahannock Oyster Bar, and Hayato.
In other parts of the city, clever foodies can pop open their takeout on public benches along the Venice Boardwalk, at Echo Park Lake, on the lawn at Griffith Park, The Steps in downtown Culver City, and other city property that remains open.
Rappahannock Oyster Bar - DTLA
What does the future hold for dining (outdoor or otherwise) in LA?
It's hard to say when outdoor dining will officially return to LA. On December 14, a bipartisan group of 11 state senators approached Gov. Newson with the request to categorize restaurants as essential businesses and permit them to reopen across the state, with the letter stating that, "these essential businesses do more than simply provide a place to eat. Restaurants are active participants in local neighborhoods, providing meals to senior citizens and working with food banks to feed families struggling to put food on their tables."
The petitioning senators pointed out that 1.8 million jobs statewide fall into the food and beverage industry, with 60% of restaurants being owned by POC and 50% being owned or partially owned by women. The absence of widespread federal support leaves the future of these restaurants and places of work in the balance.
LA diners could be forced to make mini road trips to Ventura, Santa Barbara, and San Luis Obispo, for outdoor dining, as the three Central California counties have requested that the state consider them separate from the current 11-county Southern California region, provided the capacity of their ICU units exceeds 15% on December 28. However, this seems unlikely, as Ventura County's ICU capacity has dropped to 1% in recent days.
With all roads pointing to "Wait and see where we're at on December 28," the best thing we can all do is limit non-essential travel, keep wearing our masks, maintain social distance when outdoors, and support our fave LA restaurants, breweries, and bars by ordering takeout so that they'll be around for outdoor dining in the new year.

Construction of HMS Prince of Wales, the second of two new aircraft carriers for the UK Royal Navy, has moved forward at BAE Systems' shipyard in Rosyth, Scotland with the docking of two of the ship's largest hull sections – Lower Block 02 and Lower Block 03.
The movement of the blocks into the drydock at Rosyth marks the beginning of the ship's assembly phase and comes only days after Prime Minister David Cameron announced that HMS Prince of Wales will enter into service, ending speculation over the fate of the carrier.
The dry dock, which until recently housed the HMS Queen Elizabeth until it was floated in July, was filled with more than 80,000 tonnes of water in preparation for the blocks floating into position during a five hour operation on Tuesday. Lower Blocks 02 and 03, weighing in at 6,000 and 8,000 tonnes respectively, were manufactured by BAE Systems at the company's Portsmouth and Glasgow facilities. Lower Block 02, the forward section of hull, houses machinery spaces, stores and switchboards, while the mid section, Lower Block 03, houses 160 cabins and the ship's bakery.

"Every milestone in the carrier program is hugely significant and the recent announcement that HMS PRINCE OF WALES will enter service means there is a real sense of excitement as we start to bring the second ship together," said Ian Booth, Managing Director at the Aircraft Carrier Alliance. "Everyone working across the Alliance is incredibly proud of the work undertaken so far, in what is currently one of the biggest engineering projects in the country, and we remain focused on delivering both ships to the highest standards."
Work continues on HMS Queen Elizabeth, the lead ship in the Royal Navy's new Queen Elizabeth-class of aircraft carriers, to outfit the ship and steadily bring her systems to life in preparation for sea trials in 2016. A significant plan of investment is also underway to prepare HM Naval Base Portsmouth as the homeport of the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers with HMS Queen Elizabeth due to arrive at the city in 2017. This includes dredging the approach and main channels inside the harbor, upgrades to navigational aids and the refurbishment of several jetties, along with wider infrastructure improvements.
The aircraft carriers HMS QUEEN ELIZABETH and HMS PRINCE OF WALES are being delivered by the Aircraft Carrier Alliance, a partnering relationship between BAE Systems, Thales UK, Babcock and the Ministry of Defence.
The Queen Elizabeth Class are expected to be the centerpiece of Britain's defense capability for the 21st century. Each 65,000-tonne aircraft carrier will provide armed forces with a four-acre military operating base, with the ability to travel up to 500 miles per day while operating F35-Lightning II jets and a number of types of helicopters.

Franz Kafka's never-before-seen manuscripts and drawings go online
https://english.radio.cz/franz-kafkas-never-seen-manuscripts-and-drawings-go-online-8718806#player=on

The National Library of Israel has published a long-lost collection of archival materials by Franz Kafka. They include, among other things, the Prague-born, German-speaking writer's personal diary and a notebook in which he practised Hebrew. Israel received the missing documents in August 2019, after years of searching and court battles over Kafka's legacy.
Ninety-seven years after the death of Franz Kafka, his long-lost documents have been finally made accessible to the public. One of the most surprising items was the writer's notebook filled with doodles and sketches, library archivist and curator Stefan Litt told Czech Radio, upon the occasion of reclaiming the papers:
Franz Kafka|Photo: Atelier Jacobi, Wikimedia Commons, Public Domain
"We know that Kafka did small drawings just for relaxing. Apparently, he never thought that it was big art, as he was generally very sceptical about his own writing and work.
"He never intended to publish any of these, and we were not aware that there was another notebook kept in the Swiss bank vaults. So, that was a nice surprise. However, it doesn't really change our understanding of Kafka."
The collection was left to the National Library of Israeli by Kafka's close friend Max Brod, whom Kafka had trusted to destroy all his manuscripts after his death. In the end, he refused to do so.
The Drunk|Photo: The National Library of Israel / Max Brod Archive, Public Domain
When Brod fled Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia in 1939, he carried Kafka's papers with him in a suitcase. He went on to publish most of his works, helping to establish Kafka as one of the greatest writers of the 20th century.
In his own will, Brod left the entire archive to his secretary, Esther Hoffe, asking her to make sure it reached the National Library of Israel.
But she held on to the documents, selling some while keeping the rest either in her apartment in Tel Aviv, or in the city's bank deposits and Swiss bank vaults.

It was only in 2018, when Esther Hoffe's daughter died, that the notary opened the apartment to investigators to look for the missing documents.
Now, after two years of intensive restoration, cataloguing and digitalisation, the long-missing documents are finally available to the public, free of charge.
Apart from the notebook with Kafka's doodles and sketches, the digitised collection also includes three draft versions of his story Wedding Preparations, hundreds of personal letters, and a notebook in which he practised Hebrew. Stefan Litt once again:
Franz Kafka's Hebrew notes|Photo: The National Library of Israel / Max Brod Archive, Public Domain
"When we opened it, we saw literature, sketches and drafts written by Kafka. Right in the middle there were around eight sheets which were totally filled with word lists in Hebrew and even small texts that he wrote in Hebrew about events of his time, about 1922 and 1923.
"It was modern Hebrew and quite good, actually. He was an advanced student – that's for sure. It is interesting for us, of course, to see that he was so actively investing time in studying this language. And for Israeli citizens it is very exciting, of course."

Iconic is an environment for the financing and offering of businesses' assets through blockchain technology. Being the result of the necessity of bringing together promising investments and potential investors with a technology that offers a new world of opportunities through a decentralized and transparent digital structure, Iconic is guided by the premise of helping to drive and organize the development of a disruptive market having the potential of boost numerous businesses' categories.
The company was born to strengthen and help mature the new crowd investment market that operates and establishes itself in a whole new universe, a universe of blockchain and other models of distributed trust. Iconic is the natural result of a market demand that found the perfect technology to meet it.
To date, the crowd investment market has not identified an opportunity that would allow it to thrive in retail. Private investment contracts in the traditional market demand costs that are incompatible with the risk-return they offer, even when involving small amounts of investments. In addition, they are extremely bureaucratic while at the same time offering investors little liquidity, resulting in the depreciation in value of the investments made.
The Iconic brings through the three environments of its ecosystem a complete channel for making investments in businesses with safety instruments and guarantees that are unprecedented in the blockchain industry.
With this, we call the community through the "Let's move the chains" campaign, offering the Iconic ecosystem to bring together different interests and, together, build an integrated, stable and secure path for this technology to achieve its full disruptive potential.


Your dogs can share a kennel as long as they get along and don't fight over food, toys, or beds.
What do the dogs do when they are not playing in the yard?
Usually after play time they are ready for a nap. If your dog decides not to nap, they have a Nylabone in their kennel that they can chew on. During warm days, they can go in and out through the dog door in their run.
My dog is on medication, can they stay at One of a Kind Canine?
As long as your dog isn't being treated for a contagious sickness, One of a Kind Canine will medicate your dog during their stay, just make sure their name is one each medication (e.g. Onyx Colson) and the written directions are correct.
Can I bring my dog's bed from home?
Yes. If you bring your own bed, One of a Kind Canine is not responsible for damage or loss of the bed. Also, if the bed gets dirty we may not be able to wash it. One of a Kind Canine does have blankets and beds that can be provided during your dog's stay.
Does my dog need to be on leash when arriving or leaving One of a Kind Canine?
Yes! All dogs are required to be on leash when arriving or leaving, especially in the parking lot, as we are located next to 2 very busy roads. This is for the safety of your dog, the other dogs, and to keep the lobby and kennel area as calm as possible. Not all dogs that are staying with One of a Kind Canine are friendly!
How old does my pet have to be to stay with One of a Kind Canine?
Pets must be at least 4 months old and have at least 3 sets of their puppy or kitten series as well as the bordetella vaccine for puppies.
Can I tour your facility before my pet's stay?
Yes, but please call ahead to schedule a time for a tour. Having strangers come in the kennel area while the dogs are inside makes them nervous and agitated. We take pride in all our guests feeling calm and safe during their stay, so we schedule tours during the dogs' outside play time to keep stress as low as possible!
My dog gets cold easily, can they wear a sweater while they stay?
For safety reasons, we do not allow dogs to wear anything while they are at One of a Kind Canine. We can put their sweater on when they go outside if needed. The kennel room is heated and your dog will be able to snuggle down in their bed.
Is the kennel area heated/cooled?
It is! In the winter we keep the temperature around 63 degrees (dogs have a higher body temperature than humans, and if they get too hot they tend to potty). We also keep the dog doors closed during cold days in the winter and insulate them from the outside to help retain heat. In the summer we have a swamp cooler and ceiling fans that keep the kennel area cool and the air circulated.
What type of payment options do you take?
One of a Kind Canine accepts all major credit cards (including American Express) and cash. We do not accept checks.
What do my dogs eat when they are staying with One of a Kind Canine?
Dogs will eat their food from home. Please bring only enough food for the duration of their stay in either a freezer bag or pre-portioned sandwich bags. Their lockers are not big enough for store bought bags of food or large containers. If your pet is staying for an extended time (1 week+), please make sure their food is in a plastic container. PLEASE DO NOT BRING STORE BOUGHT BAGS!
Do my dogs get treats during their stay?
Yes! Each dog gets their own Kong at bedtime that is stuffed with a variety of treats and peanut butter. If your dog has any food sensitivities or allergies, make sure to let us know when you drop your dog off and we will make sure to use appropriate goodies for their Kong!
My dog has never stayed with you before, how do we make a reservation?
All new dogs must go through a behavior evaluation before making a reservation. This will be a day-long visit, and will give the dog and our staff a chance to get to know each other. If your dog's behavior is not suitable for boarding, you will have to make other arrangements. If you do not live locally and will not be able to get your dog in before your desired reservation time, we will require at least 2 references from other boarding/daycare facilities or your vet clinic. If your dog passes the evaluation and becomes a danger to our staff or other guests during their stay, your emergency contact will have to come pick up the dog. This is for the safety of all of our guests and our staff.
My dog is able to jump/climb fences, will they be able to get out?
The boarding kennels have climb prevention bars and we have the Invisible Fence as well as climbing prevention bars installed around the play yard. While your dog is out they will wear the collar for the Invisible Fence and be supervised. The kennels and the fence around the yard are 6 feet tall.
Yes, please let us know what dates you will need so we can check availability and set up an evaluation.
When do I pay for my dog's stay?
Payment is required at or before drop-off.
Can my dog go outside during the day?
Yes! All kennels have indoor and outdoor runs. The dogs have access to their outdoor run between 6am and 9pm. They are also let out to run and play in the yard throughout the day. If your dog is friendly with other dogs, they will be allowed to play in groups!
My dog never has his collar off, can he wear it during his stay?
For safety reasons, we do not allow your pets to wear anything while they are at One of a Kind Canine. We are more than happy to keep their collar and leash in their locker so they can wear it when they go home!
What vaccinations does my pet need to have to stay with One of a Kind Canine?
The following vaccinations are required for your pet's stay: Rabies ( for cats and dogs, once your pet is 6 months old), Distemper/Parvo (dogs), and Bordetella (kennel cough; dogs) and CVR-C for cats. Your pet will not be allowed to stay at One of a Kind Canine if these vaccinations are not up to date.
Making your best friend better.

GLOBAL RECORD OF LARGE IGNEOUS PROVINCES [LIPS] AND ITS USE IN PALEOCONTINENTAL RECONSTRUCTIONS
ERNST, Richard E., Ernst Geosciences (and Dept. Earth Sci., Carleton Univ., Ottawa), 43 Margrave Ave, Ottawa, ON K1T 3Y2, Canada, Richard.Ernst@ErnstGeosciences.com and BLEEKER, Wouter, Geological Survey Canada, 601 Booth St, Ottawa, ON K1A 0E8, Canada
Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) are short-lived (or pulsed) intraplate-style magmatic events with large area/volume, comprising mainly mafic (-ultramafic) flood basalts, their plumbing system (dykes, sills & layered intrusions), associated silicic magmatism, and, in the Archean, tholeiite-komatiite greenstone belts. LIPs are ideal tools for reconstructing Proterozoic supercontinents: Rodinia, Nuna (Columbia), and Kenorland (or Superia, Sclavia and Vaalbara supercratons). The record of LIPs & interpreted LIP fragments for a crustal block can be efficiently summarized as a barcode [1,2]. Comparison of such barcodes from now distant fragments of continental crust is key to identifying which crustal fragments may have been nearest neighbours, and if so, over what time intervals [2]. Furthermore, use of associated dyke swarms to reconstruct giant radiating or linear swarm geometry provides a criterion for orienting the nearest neighbours [2]. Herein we present the first "Global LIP Barcode Chart" with information for all major crustal blocks over the period 0-2.6 Ga. Well-populated barcodes include those of Laurentia & Baltica (in the Mesoproterozoic) and Superior & Karelia (in the Paleoproterozoic). However, there are also many blocks (e.g. Amazonia, Bastar, Samartia, Tanzania, Volga-Uralia, West Africa & Zimbabwe) with few if any well-dated events. A major geochronological campaign coordinated globally, could quickly complete these barcode records, providing numerous tight robust constraints on pre-Pangea reconstructions [3,4]. The barcode approach is illustrated with our proposed 2.6-2.1 Ga Superia reconstruction of North China, greater Karelia (Karelia+Kola), Hearne & Wyoming (from east to west) along the southern margin of the Superior craton [5,2]. We also compare 1.8-1.2 Ga barcodes and discuss possible Nuna (Columbia) reconstructions. The distribution of 0.9-0.7 Ga LIPs is key to understanding the paleogeography of Rodinia and its breakup history [6,7]. REFS.: [1] Bleeker 2003, Lithos 71: 99.

Today as well as James starting school Peanut turned 3 month old!!
Im seriously struggling to work out where the time has gone! Its like I blinked and missed it all and its only when I look at pictures of when she was born I realise how much she has actually grown!
She is such a cheeky little girl always full of smiles and giggles and she is a complete mummy's girl!
She now weighs around 13lb and is starting to fit in some of her 3-6 month clothing!!
She loves being sat up looking around and hates being led down (well unless shes led under a mirror as she likes to look in the mirror and smile at herself lol). She has got in to a bad habit of clawing at her own face leaving scratches all over her poor little face and I've tried mittens, socks and baby grows with built in mittens but this baby Houdini can get out of them all!
and here she is with her big brother on his first day of school!
So proud of both my amazing babies my heart is just bursting with love and pride!!
What lovely pics! I found time went slowly with number 1 and so fast the second time. Need to enjoy it - and I reckon you are!!
Bless her scratching her face! I have urticaria, and my facial skin gets very itchy at times, presumably you've tried moisturising it? She's so sweet - really long! I'm not surprised she's into 3-6 mth clothes now!
Time whizzes by so fast - I wish I could tell you it slows down as they get older !
Naughty peanut! Stop scratching your lovely face now!
They're both gorgeous and it's lovely that your son is so helpful with his baby sister.
Time passes so quickly. It feels like yesterday that my son was three months old - he's three and a half now and a real cheeky but gorgeous little monkey, who this time next year will be starting school. Lovely to hear that your son is so helpful.
It's amazing how quickly time passes - blink and it's gone!
What a cute little Peanut! And it's so cute that she has bonded with her big brother so well!
Gosh what gorgeous pictures! I've done a similar post on this week's #mummymonday too. Ahhh, it's fab being a mum isn't it!

Q: "fastest" curve through n points I'm programming an AI for a race game, where my car has to drive through some checkpoints. If I let it drive straight in direction of the checkpoints, it has to slow down and make a huge turn after each checkpoint.
So I thought, I could calculate a curve through this checkpoints, which should be a trade-off between having the least possible curvature and being as short as possible.
If I have for example this 4 checkpoints:
\begin{align*}
&A(6,8)\\
&B(10,2)\\
&C(6,3)\\
&D(2,2)
\end{align*}
Then the curve should look approximately like this.
How can I calculate this? It has something to do with splines, but I'm not a mathematician and it's quite hard for me to find some understandable sources.
I think the easiest for me, would be, if somebody could provide an example, how to calculate the curve in my example?

A: The shortest possible curve would connect the points with straight lines. But that would mean essentially infinite curvature when you suddenly change direction. To smooth out the transition you have to lengthen the curve.
That means you have to specify some kind of tradeoff between length and curvature. You are right that various kinds of splines or bezier curves will do that. It's probably what Adobe has done; they keep their calculation under the hood in the software.
Why do you need to do the calculation yourself?

A: I think what you are looking for is the so called Minimum Energy Curve (or Minimum Energy Spline), which is constructed by minimizing a certain energy functional of the curve while treating the interpolated points as constraint.
The following shows a typical energy functional
$$E(t) = (1-w)\int_0^1{||c'(t)||^2dt} + w\int_0^1{\kappa(t)^2dt} $$
where $c'(t)$ is the first derivative of the curve $c(t)$, $\kappa(t)$ is the curvature of the curve and $0.0 \le w \le 1.0$. The first integral term represents the stretch energy and the second integral the bending energy of the curve. You can choose to minimize the stretch energy or the bending energy alone by using $w=0.0$ or $1.0$ respectively or you can choose to minimize a combination of both.
Because the existence of the nonlinear term $\kappa(t)$, it is often desired to replace the curvature by the second derivative as
$$E_s(t) = (1-w)\int_0^1{||c'(t)||^2dt} + w\int_0^1{||c''(t)||^2dt} $$
so that the solution can be easily found by solving a linear equation set.


The principal landed freeholder was the Lucas family. They owned the vast majority of land especially in the north and south-east of the area. The parish of St Nicholas Deptford owned one field in which stood a windmill and other minor landowners were the Evelyn family.
The Lucas family were originally from Cumbria but owed their prosperity to business activities in America. They were based in South Carolina where they built and managed water-powered rice mills.
Jonathan Lucas returned to London in 1823 and built the rather austere Lucas Villa on Lewisham Way. This stands next to St John�s church (which was erected in 1854) and was for a time its vicarage. Today the Welsh Presbyterian Church uses Lucas Villa. In the 1830s some members of the Lucas family returned to America, but the estate passed to the hands of another Jonathan Lucas who, through his agent Joseph Peacock of Bloomsbury Square, managed the development.
New Town was principally a suburb of Deptford, not London. It grew in relation to Deptford�s growth and its residents participated in Deptford�s economy. The arrival of railway links to London certainly changed the landscape of the area � two different rail companies built their lines straight through the district - but did not really stimulate, or retard, its growth.


It takes a lot to out-hypercar the current crop of hypercars but recently formed German company Apollo, which rises from the ashes of the now defunct Gumpert brand, is giving the whole nutty supercar game a very good thrashing with the radical Apollo Intensa Emozione.
The upcoming machine, which is likely singeing your retinas right now, is Apollo's gift to humanity: a €2.3million weapon that boasts a naturally aspirated and mid-mounted 6.3-litre V12 engine, enough downforce to drive upside-down and more hand-crafted carbon fibre than an entire Pinarello bicycle factory.
Apollo is keen to emphasise that this is a true 'old school' track car, so there are no turbochargers or hybrid systems to blunt the driving experience on the Intensa Emozione, just a minimalist racing cockpit and a rear wing that would embarrass anything that rolls off a Boeing production line.
Total weight is a measly 1,205kg, power from the V12 is a mighty 780hp and max engine torque is 760Nm at 6,000rpm.
Naturally, performance errs on the side of blistering, with a claimed 0-62mph sprint time of just 2.7 seconds, a top speed of 208mph and a ludicrous 2G max lateral G-force figure.
There is also plenty of theatre inside, with a quick release racing style steering wheel (it's dripping with carbon fibre), a huge 12-inch main display that takes care of most functionality and an "Inzio" start lever that is pulled to fire up the fury. Oh, and you can adjust the ambient lighting with a separate five-inch display should you so wish.
It takes quite a lot to shock us here at Flat-Out but the Apollo Intensa Emozione is simply mind-boggling to behold. There are a staggering 12 traction control settings to choose from, three separate engine mapping modes and adjustable aerodynamic foils for additional downforce.
Only ten models will be produced, with the first cars hitting the tarmac some time in 2019.

Q: Input validation and repetition in vba I have the following code and I would like help in 4 areas:

*

*Did I validate the inputbox correctly? It should only take positive numerical variables.

*How can I let the input box accept both input with, and without, symbols such as ($)?

*How can I link the code so that it can directly request another number if the user has entered a negative non numeric number?

*How can I repeat the procedure in the loop directly without repeating the whole code?

People who want to contribute to the future of New Hampshire have quite a few career options, but perhaps teaching is the most meaningful way to give back to society. No matter which age level you teach or what subject you specialize in, your interaction with a child can influence them for the rest of his or her life. If you spend your time looking for new projects, new teaching methods, and current teaching research, you could really benefit from an Ed.S degree in New Hampshire.
This post-Masters degree was constructed with graduate-level teachers in mind, particularly those who want to devote their career to working in schools instead of research. Find out more about your options and what this degree entails.
Are you curious about how you could better reach the students of New Hampshire? Discover how an education specialist degree may help by contacting schools below.
The experience you gain as an education specialist could help school administrators solve challenging problems, such as the current issue with school choice in New Hampshire (Cato Institute, 2016).
For many small communities, there is no default school district, and students must instead travel to schools in larger cities. Proposed legislation would give parents more freedom in school choice.
One major goal of New Hampshire legislators is to get more students into college. In fact, a new bill would put seed money into an account for a child and allow them to use it for educational expenses upon reaching the age of 18 (NH Register, 2016). If this comes to fruition, it's extremely important for students to have the critical thinking skills and academic potential needed to succeed in college.
Comparing school options can help you pick an area of specialty that suits your career. Request information from New Hampshire schools to get started.
Upon completion of an education specialist degree, you should be ready to take on highly specialized positions within the school districts of New Hampshire. To reach that goal, you have to be at the top of your field. However, you can do so fairly quickly with this type of program.
Education specialist programs often include between 30 and 42 credits, which full-time students may be able to complete in approximately two years. A lot depends on your area of specialty, since some subjects are more demanding than others.
In many cases, online educational specialist degree programs are available, as online courses reduce the burden on working teachers. However, you do still need to meet the student teaching and internship expectations of your course. In administration, you may spend one semester in an internship. In special education or literacy education, you may get student teaching experience in your new field.
The benefits of an education specialist degree are very diverse. This degree does give you some background in education research, although you may find that it focuses on how to use educational research in your classroom rather than conducting research. In addition, these programs use the most current research in your area of study to hopefully increase student engagement and learning.
Taking steps to further your education may help administrators and parents feel confident about their choice of school district and the community's dedication to teaching.
Keep in mind that you may need to append or change your teaching license before you begin working with your education specialist degree. The Bureau of Credentialing of the New Hampshire Department of Education separates licenses into many different categories, including licenses for administrators, special education teachers, subject area specialists, social workers, and school psychologists. If you need to change the student population you work with or the subject you teach, consult with the Department of Education to find out how you must proceed.
It's important to use your knowledge of research, teaching techniques, and state standards to positively influence the field of teaching as a whole. One way you may go about this involves joining local teaching associations. If you take on a formal leadership role, it's clear that you may have the chance to influence many people. However, even without a formal role, you may still guide new teachers, help experienced teachers think outside the box, and overall be a positive voice in the teaching industry of New Hampshire.
Get started by looking into groups like the National Education Association of New Hampshire and the New Hampshire School Administrators Association.
If you are ready to earn an education specialist degree, New Hampshire schools may be the perfect starting point. Use the list of schools below to get in touch with programs that interest you.


Peru is a developing country located in South America. The insurance market in Peru is relatively young and has been affected by the development of the country.
Insurances in Peru are some of the business fields that are growing a lot, since Peru is perhaps experimenting the best years of its history since 1990; the insurance companies are having an unexpected profit because of these years of wealth.
The principal factors that guarantee the development of the insurance market are: the deregulation of the market, the economic evolution and the fiscal laws. This impulse created by the progress of Peru has made that the insurance sector be the one to benefit the most.
There are Peruvian insurance companies specialized in insurances and reinsurances for general risks, life insurance market, accidents, vehicles and health. They offer a variety of insurance products for individual and financial protection as well as of that of the heritage of its customers. Also we can find companies of credit insurances and guarantees.
The Peruvian Association of Insurance Companies, APESEG, is a nonprofit institution that represents all insurance and reinsurance companies established in Peru. If you want to be sure of the reputation of the insurance company you chose, you can contact the APESEG and get all the information required.
General insurance, accidents and diseases.
General: includes earthquake and fire, automobiles, transport, banks dishonesty and theft, civil liability, maritime helmets and engineering insurance.
Accidents and diseases, which include medical care, SOAT, personal and school accidents.
Pensions: include insurance related to the private pensions system such as annuities, pension insurance (disability insurance, survival and burial expenses), and survival and disability pensions.
Health insurance and life insurance are the growing fields in the insurance market around the world and particularly in South America because almost all of the countries in this zone are developing.
The case of car insurance, travel insurance and home insurance is not the same as the health field, because in the country the market is not returning the same amount of founds.
Either way, the insurance market in Peru is one of the best in Latin America. Do not doubt and invest in insurances.

«Рабочее Дело» — непериодический политический журнал, печатный орган «Союза русских социал-демократов за границей». Выходил с апреля 1899 года по февраль 1902 года. Типография находилась в Женеве, редакция — в Париже. Редакторы: Б. Н. Кричевский, П. Теплов, В. П. Иваншин, а затем с 1900 года А. С. Мартынов. Вышло 12 номеров (девять книг). Редакция «Рабочего дела» являлась заграничным центром «экономистов».

Политическое направление «Рабочего дела» было обозначено в первом номере журнала: борьба за экономические интересы пролетариата объявлялась основой всей социал-демократической деятельности, политические же задачи представлялись как дело отдаленного будущего. Ленин в книге «Что делать?» так характеризовал позиции «Рабочего дела»: «… "Рабочее Дело" … всего полнее, всего рельефнее выразило не последовательный "экономизм", а тот разброд и те шатания, которые составили отличительную черту целого периода в истории русской социал-демократии». На II съезде РСДРП «рабочедельцы» представляли крайне правое крыло партии.

Clouded in mystery, Pineapple Skunk's genetic downline comes from a mad mixture of her three compelling strains, and creates a high that walks the tightrope between both strain's medicinal effects. Humboldt Seeds is the OG Pineapple Skunk creator, as such its origins are likely up in northern California.
Working in synchronicity, the cannabinoids and terpenes from the three strains form a synergistic hybrid that helps ease your mental and physical pains. A pleasure to grow in the garden, she'll flower quickly and easily, and provide high yields, too!
Because of its powerful odor, Pineapple Skunk is not an easy plant to grow where discretion is needed. And similar to her aroma, this strain's flavor profile is a knockout punch for the taste buds. Conferring more sweetness than her aroma, the taste of Pineapple intermixed with Skunk leaves you smacking your lips for more of that tropical punch to the cranium. Close your eyes and relax, you're can almost envision relaxing on a tropical beach.

As such, at CAMBITION we have fine-tuned our monthly contractual IT Support agreements for businesses to make them the most efficient and cost-effective solutions for companies of all sizes ranging from one man bands to medium enterprises.
What does monthly IT support offer?
Our contractual SLA's are to respond via email, remote access or phone as soon as physically possible, and our on-site visit SLA is next business day, however, we are usually there the same day. It is our duty and mantra to give our customers a very high level of service and care. We work to this ethos and will continue to do so.


Web page developing and growth offers condition towards the web page, and also to maintain and improve that shape, site servicing is necessary. uupkeep.com/website-maintenance-plan/ It truly is not only sufficient to structure an internet site, software it, and host it, but ongoing routine maintenance is critical to keep the site current, glitches free of charge, and acting at it optimum amount. Having said that, one mustn't slip-up upkeep with redesigning of the web page. Web-site maintenance is much more to complete with on-going guidance to alter written content, illustrations or photos, or update information and facts.
Also, the activities below internet site routine maintenance include things like fixing bugs; correcting damaged inbound links; wrongly spelled text; site titles; including new web pages; examining no matter whether every one of the programmed sorts are operating; and a lot more. With no devoted internet site routine maintenance help, the web site can malfunction often, and it is reliability can be afflicted. For instance, transaction oriented web sites these kinds of as ticket scheduling web sites really have to complete properly all the time, and with no support of routine maintenance workforce this can be not possible.
Most of the massive businesses have their own in-house website upkeep team. Having said that, for modest and medium firms (SMBs), it really is impossible to find the money for a individual staff and in addition it may perhaps divert their focus with the core organization. For these businesses, it really is a good idea to outsource their website routine maintenance activity to corporations that focus only in this sort of products and services. Also, a lot of the online creating and enhancement companies offer maintenance services as well, and one can carry on with them in the event the preliminary perform has become satisfactory.
There are a selection of organizations that provide net servicing services. On the other hand, 1 have to assess these businesses as incompetent maintenance can cause various troubles. A daily chain of interaction really should be opened when a single sign-ups with a website servicing service. It's not only ample that the employed team is monitoring and preserving the web site, but the web site proprietor must also check in case the function is currently being done appropriately or not.

NEW YORK -- Cardi B and Post Malone marked major breakthroughs in the last year, but the rap stars won't compete for best new artist at the 2019 Grammy Awards.
Post Malone was also submitted for best new artist at this year's show but didn't garner a nomination. Because he had never earned a Grammy nomination, he met the criteria to be a best new artist contender for the upcoming awards show, but at a Grammy nominations meeting held this month his inclusion in the category was met with debate, the person said. Malone lost in a vote by music industry players -- ranging from executives to producers to publicists -- and will not compete for the coveted honour. Some felt because the hitmaker had success with his 2016 debut, "Stoney," as well as the hit songs "Congratulations" and "White Iverson" -- released in 2015 -- he had already past new artist status.
Malone was also a hot topic at the Grammys meeting for his recent album, "Beerbongs & Bentleys," which was kicked out of the rap category and pushed into the pop genre, the source said. Best rap album nominees must contain 51 per cent or more of rap music, and the Grammys rap committee felt "Beerbongs" leaned more toward the pop genre with its the production, sound and melodies. The diverse album also includes singing, elements of R&B and rock and veers outside of rap with songs like the guitar-tinged "Stay." The person said the larger Grammys committee listened to the entire 18-track album -- which includes the No. 1 hits "Rockstar" and "Psycho" as well as "Better Now," currently No. 4 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart -- and voted that it would compete in pop instead of rap.
It was not clear where Malone's singles would land -- they could appear in rap or pop, or both. Over the years more and more musicians have had songs from a single album appear in different genre categories. Beyonce's "Lemonade" album had tracks compete in rock, pop, R&B and rap categories, while Justin Timberlake and Rihanna's nominations have ranged over the years from dance to pop to R&B to rap.
