Melbourne Historical Research Group
Project 1 – The Clearance Areas (2001/02)
In the 1950s and '60s, whole swathes of Melbourne were cleared for redevelopment by the former South East Derbyshire Rural District Council including:
'New York' – a late Georgian speculative housing development;
Areas adjacent to 'New York', including the birthplace of travel pioneer, Thomas Cook (1808-92);
'The Puzzle', an haphazard complex of factories and houses.
For posterity, academic and nostalgic interest, the strong identity and character of each of these areas has been recorded by the Group from people's memories, in addition to surviving documentary and illustrative material.
Project 2 – Market Gardeners (2001/02)
In the 1750s, the Robinson family were growing quicksetts (hawthorn) and the overlap between Nurserymen and Market Gardeners persisted into the 19th century. The Group's investigations cover:
The early Industry and its peak in the 1850s;
The families involved, their home and working life. How did they help to shape the character of Melbourne? Who were Snockles, Spratty, Winkie, Necky, Nocky, Nutty, Tippy, Clutch and Bingy?
The Market Gardening Landscape;
New Inventions;
Packaging, Transport and the Market;
Market Gardeners, Politics and Religion;
The decline of the Industry in the 1960s and '70s.
Project 3 – Pubs and Clubs (2002/03)
Melbourne's population doubled in size during the 19th century, as it became a small manufacturing town. Its growth was mirrored by a plentiful supply of pubs and a brewery (1851-1954) as most people drank beer.
The Research Group's 2002/3 project was to trace the history of all the individual pubs both past and present, and their roles in society as club headquarters, venues for manor courts and public meetings, accommodation for travellers, or simply as places for relaxation and entertainment.
The names themselves have stories behind them. The Melbourne Arms, Hardinge Arms, Crewe and Harpur Arms, Sir Francis Burdett and Marquis of Hastings all commemorate local landowners. The Ring of Bells (closed c1816) possibly refers to packhorses, where the front horse had a collar of bells.
Some of the publicans were colourful characters. One example was Thomas Dugmore (c1739-1820), who wrote a pamphlet criticising the local aristocracy's high-handed actions during the Parliamentary Enclosure of Melbourne (1787-1791).
Project 4 – Before the Reservoir (2003/04)
The reservoir drowned an area both of natural beauty and considerable historic interest.
Among the casualties were Furnace Farm with the remains of the 18th century blast furnace, Calke Mill and the farm house belonging to it, Sir Henry Crewe's gothick bridge c1816 and the lower pond in Calke Park. The Common also included several good stone quarries, brickyards, a coppice and a rabbit warren.
The enclosure of the Common in 1787-1791 changed the face of Melbourne forever, and the construction of the reservoir between c1957 and 1964 split the Common right down the middle.
Project 5 – The Melbourne Diary of John Joseph Briggs (2004/05)
John Joseph Briggs (1819-1876), of King's Newton in the parish of Melbourne, is remembered in Derbyshire as an historian, poet and naturalist, but his work relating to his home territory is the most valuable of it all. Briggs was born into a farming family, but was disinclined to follow his father's footsteps, and a short apprenticeship in the printing trade failed to agree with him either. As luck would have it, Briggs' father remained active to a ripe old age, and Briggs himself was left free to indulge in his favourite leisure pastime of writing. A batchelor until the age of 49, Briggs then married and had four children before dying at the age of 57.
In 2004-5, the Melbourne Historical Research Group prepared and presented an exhibition on Briggs' life and work, accompanied by a lot of work behind the scenes on transcribing and editing Brigg's unpublished Melbourne Diary, written between the 1840s and 1870s. The project culminated in the publication of the diary in April 2005, generously assisted by the District and County Councils.

Project 6 – Houses and History (2007/08)
Our project for 2007-8 was "Houses and History", which tells the story of the houses, both grand and humble, that grace the streets of Melbourne and King's Newton today, including some that no longer exist. Among many others, they include:
Melbourne Hall, once the home of Victorian Prime Minister Lord Melbourne (1779-1848);
Pennfield House, home of William Haimes (1773-1854), silk glove and shawl manufacturer;
Exchange House, built by stone merchant and quarryman John Chambers (died 1795);
Club Row – eight humble cottages built by the Melbourne Sick Club in 1795;
The "White Swan" Inn, built by William Martin of Melbourne, clothworker, and his wife Ellen, in the same year that he died (1682);
The Stone House, built by Walter Chamberlain in 1673, housing a forge in its basement where ironsmith Robert Bakewell worked from 1706-1711;
King's Newton Hall, rebuilt by Sir Cecil Paget in 1910 after lying in ruins for fifty years following a catastrophic fire;
The "Packhorse Inn", rebuilt by William and Mary Cartwright in 1727, on a site encroached out of the public road.
The Group has exhibited the project at the 2007 Melbourne Fete & Carnival and Melbourne Festival Art & Architecture Trail weekends, among other venues.
This collection continues.

Q: Classes, constructor and pointer class members I'm a bit confused about the object references. Please check the examples below:
class ListHandler {
public:
   ListHandler(vector<int> &list);
private:
   vector<int> list;
}

ListHandler::ListHandler(vector<int> &list) {
   this->list = list;
}

Because of the internal
vector<int> list;

definition, here I would be wasting memory right? So the right one would be:
class ListHandler {
public:
   ListHandler(vector<int>* list);
private:
   vector<int>* list;
}

ListHandler::ListHandler(vector<int>* list) {
   this->list = list;
}

ListHandler::~ListHandler() {
   delete list;
}

Basically all I want is to create a vector and pass to ListHandler. This vector will not be used anywhere else than the ListHandler itself so I'm expecting ListHandler to do all the other things and cleanup etc. stuff.

A: The first example isn't necessarily wasting memory, its just making a copy of the entire vector at the "this->list = list;" line (which could be what you want, depends on the context).  That is because the operator= method on the vector is called at that point which for vector makes a full copy of itself and all its contents.
The second example definitely isn't making a copy of the vector, merely assigning a memory address.  Though the caller of the ListHandler contructor better realize that ListHandler is taking over control of the pointer, since it will end up deallocating the memory in the end.

A: It depends on whether the caller expects to keep using their list (in which case you better not delete it, and need to worry about it changing when you least expect), and whether the caller is going to destroy it (in which case you better not keep a pointer to it).
If the documentation of your class is that the caller allocates a list with new and then turns ownership over to your class when calling your constructor, then keeping the pointer is fine (but use auto_ptr so you don't have to write "delete list" yourself and worry about exception safety).

A: It depends on whether you want to share the underyling vector or not. In general, I think it is a good practice to avoid sharing wherever possible, since it removes the question of object ownership. Without sharing:

class ListHandler
{
    public:
        ListHandler(const std::vector<int>& list) : _list(list) {}
        ~ListHandler(){}
    private:
        std::vector<int> _list;
};

Note that, unlike in your example, I make it const since the original will not be modified. If, however, we want to hang on to and share the same underlying object, then we could use something like this:

class ListHandler
{
    public:
        ListHandler(std::vector<int>& list) : _list(&list) {}
        ~ListHandler(){}
    private:
        std::vector<int>* _list;
};

Note that in this case, I choose to leave the caller as the owner of the object (so it is the caller's responsiblity to ensure that the list is around for the lifetime of the list handler object and that the list is later deallocated). Your example, in which you take over the ownership is also a possibility:

class ListHandler
{
    public:
        ListHandler(std::vector<int>* list) : _list(list) {}
        ListHandler(const ListHandler& o) : _list(new std::vector<int>(o._list)) {}
        ~ListHandler(){ delete _list; _list=0; }

        ListHandler& swap(ListHandler& o){ std::swap(_list,o._list); return *this; }
        ListHandler& operator=(const ListHandler& o){ ListHandler cpy(o); return swap(cpy); }
    private:
        std::vector<int>* _list;
};

While the above is certainly possible, I personally don't like it... I find it confusing for an object that isn't simply a smart pointer class to acquire ownership of a pointer to another object. If I were doing that, I would make it more explicit by wrapping the std::vector in a smart pointer container as in:

class ListHandler
{
    public:
        ListHandler(const boost::shared_ptr< std::vector<int> >& list) : _list(list) {}
        ~ListHandler(){}
    private:
        boost::shared_ptr< std::vector<int> > _list;
};

I find the above much clearer in communicating the ownership. However, all these different ways of passing along the list are acceptable... just make sure users know who will own what.

A: It all depends what you want, and what policies you can ensure. There is nothing "wrong" with your first example (though I would avoid explicitly using this-> by choosing different names). It makes a copy of the vector, and that may be the right thing to do. It may be the safest thing to do.
But it looks like you would like to reuse the same vector. If the list is guaranteed to outlive any ListHandler, you can use a reference instead of a pointer. The trick is that the reference member variable must be initialized in an initialization list in the constructor, like so:
class ListHandler
{
public:
    ListHandler(const vector<int> &list)
    : list_m(list)
    {
    }
private:
    vector<int>& list_m;
};

The initialization list is the bit after the colon, but before the body.
However, this is not equivalent to your second example, which using pointer and calls delete in its destructor. That is a third way, in which the ListHandler assumes ownership of the list. But the code comes with dangers, because by calling delete it assumes the list was allocated with new. One way to clarify this policy is by using a naming convention (such as an "adopt" prefix) that identifies the change of ownership:
ListHandler::ListHandler(vector<int> *adoptList)
: list_m(adoptList)
{
}

(This is the same as yours, except for the name change, and the use of an initialization list.)
So now we have seen three choices:

*

*Copy the list.

*Keep a reference to a list that someone else owns.

*Assume ownership of a list that someone created with new.

There are still more choices, such as smart pointers that do reference counting.

A: There's no single "right way." Your second example would be very poor style, however, because the ListHandler acquires ownership of the vector when it is constructed. Every new should be closely paired with its delete if at all possible — seriously, that is a very high priority.
If the vector lives as long as the ListHandler, it might as well live inside the ListHandler. It doesn't take up any less space if you put it on the heap. Indeed, the heap adds some overhead. So this is not a job for new at all.
You might also consider
ListHandler::ListHandler(vector<int> &list) {
   this->list.swap( list );
}

if you want the initializer list to be cleared and avoid the time and memory overhead of copying the vector's contents.

In celebration I'm taking friends out to watch the remainder of the Leonid Meteor Shower tonight!
Something people find rather interesting is when they hear about my Homeless Experiment. Usually they hear it from one of my jackass friends mentioning to someone "Ask him where he lived this year!" or some question-inducing comment like that.
People generally want to read the experiment, but since it's in blog format, it's in reverse order and in general kind of hard to read.
People can always go to the NevBlog Timeline, scroll to the experiment and click through each post…however this requires first KNOWING you can do that, and a full 39 clicks to read!
A better way to read was needed so now the Homeless Experiment is now viewable in several different formats.
HTML viewing version: Follow the experiment in chronological order in an online-ebook format.
PDF Format: You can take it on the go to read.
Amazon Kindle Format: Read it on your Amazon Kindle.
Putting the actual file together took the most time. I copy/pasted all the files in chronological order into a Word file then corrected all the wonky formatting.
The Word to HTML conversion gave even more "interesting" formatting errors, but a straight copy/paste from Word into Frontpage worked great. I turned this page into the HTML version of the ebook.
For the PDF I simply converted the HTML document into a PDF.
I figured getting this uploaded on the Amazon Kindle platform would be difficult, but it was actually unbelievably simple. This is quite possibly the simplest method to "publish" anything.
….set the price and you're published! Wait a few days for approval and it'll be on sale.
magazines are two "state of the art" microfiche machines!
Just out of pure curiosity I decided to visit a county foreclosure auction. I always hear about people buying property at a foreclosure auctions, so at 10am this Tuesday I went to the Travis County (Austin, TX.) auction which is held outside at the courthouse.
Beforehand I checked out the properties to get a general gist of what's on the auction block. The auction I went to was for November 2009. Pretty much everything looked like crap to me, I'm not sure why anyone would want some of these properties, and many of them went unsold (aka "Struck Off"). Most of the listings with pictures looked like 100 year old shacks that might collapse at any moment….a far cry from the palaces going for $1,000 you see on TV. Many of the listings were just for plots of land, some of these plots sold for WAY over the minimum auction price, which probably means certain people know that area well and came prepared.
Keep in mind if you buy a listing, it almost always has some "back taxes" the former owner couldn't pay, so you take on those debts.
I got there right when it started, and was kind of disappointed the auctioneer DIDN'TSPEAKINTHATREALLYFASTWAY.
The man doing the auctioning was dressed like a state trooper, and was rather soft spoken, and was a little difficult to hear if you weren't paying attention. One guy involved in a bid war kept looking down at his notes, and actually won the listing and didn't know because he couldn't hear! HA!
The whole thing was maybe 20 minutes long and was actually pretty….fun! It was comical watching people bid against each other and rather entertaining for the crowd. There was a woman at the front and a man in the back who obviously knew each other from these auctions who kept bidding against each other on almost every listing.
I spoke with some people who come frequently, and sometimes there are great bargains to be picked up, but on a crowded day like today it's difficult to buy popular listings for cheap. You also have to register to bid, which means you have to prove you have a certain amount of cash ready to plunk down….this keeps out much of the general public.
I'm sure a slowing economy will start adding some even greater bargains to these auctions.

On Monday night Four Corners aired a segment about the post-GFC Chinese stimulus and its massive impact on levels of investment and debt. It was entitled How China Fooled the World, which is somewhat baffling, because there is no tricky involved in their very real investment binge. As you can tell, I have my reservations about the show's analysis.
While I appreciate the effort to highlight just how dependent the world has become on Chinese investment, and indirectly on the policies of the Communist Party of China, the segment never made the point that the west has CHOSEN this path by refusing to independently support their local economies and employment by making tough political choices that involve reallocation of wealth and public investment.
A far greater irony is that many in the west who fear a Chinese economic collapse usually end up pointing the finger at China's political system and the lack of private enterprise or competition as the fundamental cause. Yet private enterprise and competition are fundamental features of the system that collapsed in the west during the financial crisis, and China's non-competitive state-owned industry was apparently the only thing that saved the world from further destabilising impacts of capitalism!
By their very nature, complex systems, such as the socio-economic system, are prone to sudden collapse in activity following a period of extremely high activity. This applies in China just as it did in the west, although the system in China is characteristic more centralised choices and less emergence. It is highly unlikely that China will have investment at over 50% of GDP for decades to come in a perfectly smooth growing economy.
But that doesn't mean a collapse needs to be catastrophic or even costly in terms of the things that matter to those people within the system. For example, if the collapse in activity results in more years of schooling and education, fewer work hours per worker and more holidays, greater investment in environmental protection and restoration, and so on, this could just as equally be seen a beneficial period of transition; a collapse that forced radically beneficial social change. We shouldn't underestimate the power of central control and need for the Communist Party to maintain improving living standards to support their legitimacy.
That is of course, the optimistic view. There will certainly be many losers from a major economic contraction in China, and Australian consumers are part of that group.
But back to the Four Corners story. I had a few other problems with the coverage, which like most economic reporting was quite superficial and lacked a rigorous foundation of analysis. Here are just a few.
1. Most funds for the Chinese stimulus came from borrowing. This is bad.
Chinese investment share of GDP is around 50%, potentially 54%, up from around 43% of GDP in the period prior to the financial crisis. Many commentators saw the pre-crisis levels as unsustainable as well. Certainly this level is high, but remember that the longer this lasts, the wealthier China will be and the more easily it will be able to handle a large-scale economic transition. There was no consideration of what sort of transition the Communist Party might have in mind to edge down from these levels, just as there was no consideration of how the Party created such high levels of investment.
This is another contradictory claim. For some reason, China, still a poor country in per capita terms and one with apparently gross political disfunction from the entrenched rent-seeking Communist party, was the only one who could save the world from the financial crisis. Similar levels of public investment could be made in Europe or the United States if the political will was there.
What we didn't really see is a view on what would be different if debts were not hidden? There seems to be no consensus on what it means in any case, and very little understanding of the political willingness of the Chinese Communist party to use their monetary system for their social, economic and political goals. The substance of this and other criticisms of China boiled down to 'debt is bad'. Ignoring of course the international imbalances and the massive debts much of the west have with China.
This was strange. Surely more housing per person is a good thing. Some may be empty at the moment, but at some point there will be incentives for these home owners to occupy or rent these homes. And if you are thinking that they need lots of maintenance and might fall down before they are occupied, then you've identified another activity that can help in the transition to lower investment - maintaining current investments.
Certainly China's growth won't be smooth sailing at these unprecedented investment shares of GDP for decades to come. There will be a transition, and it will be a bumpy ride.
But from my view most of the opinions in this documentary were blind repetition of contradictory views - that China was the only one who could save the west from the crisis, but now they will be unable to save themselves; that the Chinese political system was able to radically control production to maintain growth and employment, but now won't be able to; that the answer to the problem that China does not yet have is to make the choices that the west has made, which didn't stop them from having severe financial crises with lingering social impacts.

CHURCH LEADS IN HANDLING SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
Home/Latest News Releases/CHURCH LEADS IN HANDLING SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on the need for employers to upgrade their sexual misconduct policies:
The clergy sexual abuse scandal in the Catholic Church made headline news in 2002, even though most of the offenses took place from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s. Over the past decade and a half, the Church launched many new policies to check this problem, the result being a dramatic reduction in cases of abuse. Indeed, there is no institution in the nation today, religious or secular, that has a better record in dealing with sexual misconduct than the Catholic Church.
Ironically, it is precisely the Church's most prominent and vocal critics who are now undergoing their own sexual misconduct problems: journalism, the arts, Hollywood, and education have all been hit with scandal.
The media have had more than their fair share of problems dealing with sexual predators. Charlie Rose, Matt Lauer, Glenn Thrush, Michael Oreskes, and Mark Halperin are the big names, but no one knows just how deep the scandal goes. Payouts are commonplace, but little in the way of policy changes have been announced.
The Society of Professional Journalists has an impressive list of resources available to members, ranging from freedom of information to ethics in the newsroom. But the only statement it has on its website regarding sexual harassment in the newsroom is a list of articles on the subject.
One of those recommended articles is from the New York Times, a rather strange source of advice given the newspaper's serious problems with sexual misconduct. The suggested article offers nothing more than tips on training and the need to promote more women. The latter is particularly embarrassing: when Jill Abramson was deputy to Michael Oreskes, she knew of his alleged offenses yet she admits she never did anything about them.
For thirty years, Peter Martins ran the New York City Ballet. Insiders knew of his serial offenses: he verbally and physically abused men as well as women. Also, board members knew of his wife beating, yet did nothing about it.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences expelled Harvey Weinstein on October 14, but reports are surfacing saying that many members now regret doing so. Roman Polanski continues to be defended by many in Hollywood, even as new allegations are being made. A task force on sexual misconduct has been launched by the Academy, but it has yet to finalize anything.
Stories of predatory professors abound, and this is especially true of grad students. Yet the only formal committee on sexuality that is listed by the American Association of University Professors deals with "Sexual Diversity and Gender Identity." There is no institutionalized mechanism to address the sexual exploitation of students by professors.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops not only has a comprehensive training program for all its employees on sexual abuse, it conducts background checks on all those who work with children. Regarding sexual harassment in the workplace, each diocese has its own policy. The Archdiocese of New York, for instance, has a detailed employee handbook section on this issue, which includes termination in cases of serious sexual misconduct.
The Catholic Church's policies on sexual misconduct provide a model for all organizations and professions. It is high time it received credit for the progress it has made. More important, those who have been its harshest critics need to learn from what it has accomplished and start instituting policies that mirror those of the Church.

Almost everyone is furious with the new Family Justice Review led by David Norgrove, previously an economic adviser to Margaret Thatcher. Fathers who campaigned for the legal right to shared parenting did not get what they wanted. The best-selling author and father Louis de Bernières said the recommendations filled him with "horror and despair". Mums who are left to carry the entire parenting burden and second wives are also fuming.
Grandparents – also denied legal access in the review – are apoplectic and may form their own protest encampment, if there is any spare land left for dissenters in our capital. One wrote to me: "I will throw stones, chain myself to railings, get myself arrested and go on a hunger strike. Those are my grandchildren. She will not take them away, the woman who destroyed our family and my son".
There are splits within the Cabinet too. The Prime Minister says the report does not reflect the pro-family values of his Coalition. The state treads on broken glass when it tries to find ways to support disintegrating households. Just like so many marriages, Norgrove started so well, with so much goodwill and hope.
There is no easy way to part and no clean parting of ways, not for a great many of us. I am and have been, I hope, a good wife, but am totally rubbish at divorce. So that he knew what he was getting into, I warned my second husband, a lovely, judicious Englishman, that there would be an unending emotional tempest if we ever broke up.
It is the only bit of sympathy I can muster for my ex-husband. More than 20 years on, he must wish I would just shut up, move on. Some spouses can do that with elegance and even affection. It is the modern way. Divorce is as normal as the buying and selling of homes or updating mobile phones and the expectation is that couples will not emote unduly, or kick up a storm, or behave badly. There is an etiquette, you see – we must all be friends, and share parenting for the sake of the children.
That phrase belies as much as it is meant to evoke. For the sake of the children, married men should not take that flirt for a drink, to a hotel room, on that clandestine holiday, or embark on an affair then ask for divorce because they have fallen in love, all too easily done and justified. Every minute they spend with the mistress is time they take away from their children; every tryst is another wound inflicted on their marriages. For the sake of the children women should not behave that way either or choose to end a marriage for flimsy reasons. This view will upset friends, relatives, colleagues, perhaps bosses and neighbours and does, I admit, sound dreadfully judgemental and old-fashioned.
Nobody should have to stay in an oppressive, violent or mutually corrosive relationship to death. Maureen Waller, in her book The English Marriage, describes the suffering trapped wives of all classes who could not legally leave greedy or vicious spouses until the laws were changed. But now divorce has become an exit of convenience for our individualistic and self-indulgent society and that can't be right.
An average of 120,000 divorces are registered in England and Wales each year. Possibly half a million children are pulled between parents (inside their heads, if not in what they say). Couples lie to themselves about the pain they are inflicting on their kids and most can only think of parental "rights", like getting half the house and the joint savings. We are caretakers of our young and have no absolute "rights" to them. I would not have co-parented my son with his father, but I never stopped contact. In the early years though, I kept my child away from the mistress, partly because it was unbearable for me and partly because his young heart would have been even more divided. It wasn't rights, but responsibility that guided these decisions.
Children want their mums and dads to be together and, if that can't happen, most want as normal a life in one home, not to be divvied up hour by hour, day by day. In Australia that kind of sliced parenting, brought in five years ago, has produced more anxious and troubled children than was anticipated.
Listen to Andrea, now 13, someone I interviewed when she was a happy six-year-old with newly divorced parents: "It's all my fault, they fight. If I wasn't there it would be quiet, like. I am cut in half, I have two rooms, two pets, two Christmases, but that cuts me up. Where do I live?" So she cuts, cuts, cuts and her arms are maps with streams of blood. Her parents still think they are doing it all for the sake of their child. Norgrove warns them and millions of others it isn't. Hard though it is, they should heed the message. For the sake of the children.


As you might already know, today kicks off a new month long series called 31 days of freezer cooking. I've talked a little bit about it lately and I hope you're as excited as I am! In anticipation of going back to work outside the home, I am working hard to fill my freezer with ready made meals of all sorts this month.
But it won't be just a bunch of calorie laden casseroles, that's not all freezer cooking is about. I think some are a little standoffish when it comes to make-ahead meals because of that reason. I hope to show you otherwise, you can have healthy dishes made ahead of time that both taste great and use wholesome ingredients.
So what's in store for July? Variety for sure. Plenty of breakfast options like these easy french toast sticks, dinner ideas such as homemade frozen pizzas, pretzel bites for snacks and how about flavorful summer veggies made in the slow cooker? It's going to be tons of fun the whole month long, so let's get started!
French toast is a favorite in our house, especially with the hubby. He loves it. The girls always devour these little hand held sticks when I make them so they had to make an appearance.
I can save some time and money by preparing a large batch of these on the weekend and freezing them to use throughout the week...if they even make it that far. I recommend using Texas toast, it's thicker than regular bread and perfect for these sticks. No more spending two-three dollars for a box in the frozen food section.
Now you've got an easy breakfast for those rushed mornings. Just pop a few sticks in the toaster, toaster oven or microwave and serve with maple syrup and fruit. The kids will love you for this one!
Begin by slicing each piece of bread into four sticks and set aside.
Mix together in a large bowl, eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon until well combined. Heat 1 tbsp of butter over medium heat in a skillet.
Begin dunking each slice of bread into egg/milk mixture and placing into the heated skillet. Let cook on each side until browned. When done remove and place onto a plate and repeat with remaining sticks.
Once cooked and all cooled, line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place each stick on sheet and place in the freezer for about one hour or until frozen. Then remove and transfer to a large gallon sized freezer bag. Make sure to label with contents and date. Try to remove as much air as possible from bag to prevent freezer burn. Store in freezer until ready to use.
When ready to serve, remove desired number of sticks and heat in toaster. Makes 40 french toast sticks.
They probably would be okay for a longer period, but I would use up within 3 months.
How long do you heat them in the toaster?
I apologize, I'm not sure how I missed your question. A minute or two in the toaster is all.
When you place them in the freezer for an hour, are they covered?
I don't cover them when I'm flash freezing on a pan. After they're frozen then you will transfer them to a Ziploc bag for the freezer.

Mikel Arteta outlines ideal transfer scenario as Arsenal prepare for the January window
With COVID rife now, will you change your plans for January so you have more players?
That would be ideal, but with the AFCON I think we're going to have many less unfortunately. So we are going to have to adapt. I don't know how it's going to develop – hopefully the situation in January is going to be better or probably it will be better because we are going to have more boosters and more people have already had it. But we don't know.
Will it change your plans for the window?
I don't think we are going to be able to sign players just for this short period of time. I think it's a little bit unrealistic. But we will sit down now and make the right decision if we can.
Given where you are in the league have you got an assurance from those above you that you will be backed in January to help finish in the top four?
No, I think they have shown always the support. Since I've been here it's always been the case. We have tried to explain the plan that we want to put in place really openly. Instead of how much money we are going to spend, how much money we are investing in the team and in the football club and go step by step. Every case will be treated differently, and every situation will be treated different. But the ambition is only one and it's trying to be the best team.
Would it be prudent to sell players who only have six months left on their contract to get some money in to reinvest in the squad?
Depends on every singular case. Depends on the player's situation, the minutes that he plays, his willingness or the offer that you have. It's something that you have to consider.
If Auba asks to leave will you allow him to leave?
As you can understand I won't discuss any particular case.
Mikel Arteta was not keen to discuss the future of Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who was recently stripped of the captaincy
(Image: Photo by Simon Stacpoole/Offside/Offside via Getty Images)
What would you want from Santa and what are your Christmas rituals?
From Santa I ask two things, that he looks after my kids really, really well and all the kids in the world and make them really, really happy. And for the rest of us that we are all healthy. That's all we can ask for now. After that, more happiness in this world and people to have a more positive mind about everything that we do. We need more happiness and more smiles.
Can you maintain a top-four challenge for the rest of the season with a cloud hanging over pretty much all your strikers except for Gabriel Martinelli?
We have a cloud, and the cloud is there and at the moment we're not able to change it. We are working on it to try and make it as small as possible and as clear as possible. But this is the situation that we are in, because contracts have these things, the timing of them is tricky and we're trying to resolve it.
Do you think sometimes you're a bit too uncompromising with your non-negotiables and sticking to your principles too much?
No. I guarantee you that's not the case.
Because you're a young manager, is it a case that you're looking establish your authority?
I don't establish my authority by trying to be dictatorial or ruthless. I just ask for one thing, it's respect and commitment. That's all. If you don't ask for that at this level I think I pack my bags and go somewhere else because that's the minimum that you can ask for.
Is there a danger of the Aubameyang situation becoming a bit like the Ozil situation?
I'm sorry but I'm going to expect that from everyone at the club, the first one myself. The second I don't do that I go through that door and I do something else. It's as clear as that. To be successful when you are passionate about something and you want to represent a club of this size and this history. That's the minimum standards that you demand. I'm not going to ask them to put the ball in the top corner every time they hit that ball, but I will ask them to do the right things for this club every single day. That's for sure.
When will the players have to leave for AFCON? Is there any chance they could be available for Manchester City on January 1st ?
That's a conversation that we're having separately with every individual national team. Obviously they want them, yesterday, and we want them next month. That's the conversation that we're having with them right now.
Are you happy for the players to go?
If you give me the choice I want them to stay because we're going to need them and with the context that we are in, we need them more. But I understand that they have their obligations and we need to let them go.
Even with the concerns over the conditions in Cameroon at the minute?
Yeah but if the regulators consider that the competition has to go ahead then we are obligated to let the players go.

Radio Broadcasters Don't Know Doodly-Squat About Gen Zs
by Fred Jacobs · June 29, 2022
I'm one of the luckiest people you know in radio. Why? I hang out with a lot of smart, smart people and I end up in some pretty high-level meetings. I've found if you keep your ear to the ground, you can learn an awful lot about the way the wind is blowing in the business.
And over the past year, I'm hearing more chatter about Gen Z. I should point out, no one's talking about teens, because the generational label has more marketing cache. Teens? Not a chance.
Yet, at an increasing number of industry conferences and webinars, Gen Z sessions and panels are popping up like they matter. But they don't, because there's not a radio broadcaster that I know of that is dedicating serious resources to targeting teenagers. Please correct me, but the only teen initiative I know of that has originated from a radio-centric company is Beasley's foray into esports. More on that later in this post.
I was talking with a friend in Alternative the other day. Like most conversations around the format these days, we were lamenting the shape its in. This year's solution is to "oldify it" in an effort to recapture its glory (and competitive 25-to-54 demos). These ventures might end up working, especially in markets on the west coast where the format has a rich history.
But these tactics veer sharply away from Alternative's DNA as a "dangerous format," willing to take risks on artists, genres, events, and lifestyles. What worked for teens in the '80s – the original listeners of the format, won't resonate with teens of today.
My Alt buddy suggested Gen Z is about as different a group today as Boomers were back in the '60s, a large group alienated by the state of America in the 60's – civil rights, Vietnam, you name it. That's a spot-on observation. Today's Gen Z have already been through the historical wringer – the Great Recession, COVID, climate change, civil unrest, and now the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
It occurred to me how Gen Z is as different as Millennials as Boomers were from the 50's kids who grew up with Paul Anka, Elvis, and Bobby Darin. And of course, those Z's are a monster generation in heft. They'll be 50 million strong by 2030, a huge portion of the workforce. They're also more diverse, a plain and simple fact America will have to confront:
The ramifications in our political and social fabric are obvious as we watch America's white population diminish, while diverse and underserved groups continue their growth spurt.
And where does this leave radio – an industry that knows precious little about teens, much less the diverse trajectory the country will be on for the foreseeable future? There's much talk about where we'll be in 2030. One thing I know for sure. It'll be here before we know it. Will broadcasters have confronted the demographic divides that will define media, technology, and every facet of our lives?
One of our consultants sent me a cool and sprawling Gen Z infographic (part of it is below and it is linked to the graphic) from Social Media Today. Here's a piece of it, focused on Gen Z contributions to the economy:
The data embedded in this clever graphic is a reminder how little radio pros know about this up and coming population mass.
And that leads me to a fascinating story in Nieman Lab earlier this month about a bold new Gen Z new media initiative from…(wait for it)…a newspaper. The LA Times to be exact.
Is it a reference to a web error page? Atlanta's area code? Or something else?
The paper calls it a "major expansion of its audience team…a major investment in our digital growth…(and) a critical step toward attracting news readers."
Known as the "meme team," the 404 is not a section in the newspaper or even on the website. For now, there are six people on the team, most of whom don't have a journalism background. Instead, they're creating "new types of experimental content" on other platforms.
They are digital natives to the nth power, and while they make stuff in lots of places, TikTok appears to be their home base.
@latimes𝚆𝚎𝚕𝚌𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚝𝚘 𝟺𝟶𝟺At the edge of the continent—at the end of the world—404 is where everything extremely L.A. and everything extremely online crash together to create something new. We can't wait to show you what's next.♬ original sound – 404 [by L.A. Times]
The 404's "head of creator content" is Angie Jaime who describes the opportunity this way:
"Right now the digital landscape is littered with hollow content and misinformation. A lot of folks are burned out online. Our aim is to offer an accessible alternative. We want to tell stories for an audience that craves information. I think part of that has to be being very self-aware of the nature of people's relationship with the internet itself."
What will the 404 mean for the Times? Will it even be around at this time next year? Who knows?
But the paper's leadership will undoubtedly get an education in "what's next?" and how media will be defined in the years ahead. Like any content experiment, there will be growing pains, false starts, and fails. But isn't that how all new media begins, whether it was FM progressive rock radio, MTV, Facebook, or TikTok?
Of course, the road to innovation is also littered with fails, some of the epic. MySpace, Quibi, and more recently, CNN+ are all examples of false starts that ended up being "teaching moments" for other platforms and innovations. It is rarely an easy road when you're in unchartered waters.
So why do broadcasters actively shy away from Gen Z? Is it fear of the unknown or the mistaken belief you can't monetize teens? In nearly four decades as a researcher and consultant, I am hard-pressed to think of a single time a radio manager or owner wanted to look at the teen demographic.
It's a taboo in radio, and yet, the rest of the world is moving quickly to learn, understand, and (so they hope) capitalize on the opportunity.
This isn't a matter of opinion. It's a matter of demoographics.
There's only one exception in the radio business that I'm aware of – Beasley's foray into esports.
In late 2019, the company bought the Houston Outlaws in the Overwatch League. In addition to CheckpointXP, a news/opinion web outlet, most of the entire effort is off the air. Run by the capable COO Lori Burgess, the program is all about reaching Gen Z. The Twitch platform is burgeoning space where teens, gamers, and even some radio personalities have set up shop. Former radio programmer Don Kollins is now a Twitch employee (an Amazon-owned company by the way).
Here's Lori's take on esports:
Beasley's esports program is the vision of Caroline Beasley who deeply believes this is where the media world is headed. Like the 404, the initiative is off the air. But that doesn't mean a company's Gen Z play couldn't have a role on radio, just not as its prime outlet.
There's a reason why so many teens have little or nothing to do with radio. Radio has had little to nothing to do with them.
2030 will be here in the blink of the eye, and the world will be a much different place.
And that begs the question;
Will radio be late to the party….again?

Bill Hennes says
I always enjoy reading your columns. They are terrific. This one is right on the button.
This is really not a new problem. Radio has always had an addiction to not think about the12 to 24's.
It's funny, because that's where the demos are that always make the future media change.
Fred Jacobs says
Bill, thanks for the kind note. I'm old enough to remember the days when "AORs" and "Top 40s" competed hard for teens. And there were dollars, including the soft drinks, milk (Michigan Milk Producers was a big radio account here in Detroit), concerts, fast food, malls, and movies were major revenue generators. They're all in business today.
Dave Mason says
Bill makes a good point but the belief was that 12-24 didn't have the money needed to support advertising. Those of us in the boomer generation proved that theory wrong in the days of General Mills, Post Cereals and Kellogg's merchandising through the shows we'd watch -and the music we listened to.
In 2022 I wonder if the content divide isn't too wide to attract "Gen Z" without destroying what already exists. "Pop" radio existed with the common thread of music and other content that appealed to the masses. Is there still a common thread? We're seemingly moving in separate directions with on demand content. The bland content of many radio outlets these days seems designed to offend no one- which (of course) attracts -no one. (Always a great platform, Fred.)
Dave, thanks for chiming in on this, and please see my comment to him. I checked with brother Paul who was a sales whiz on the RIF team in those days. Teens were "a thing" for rock radio. And all the braands mentioned in my comment benefit from strong Gen Z strategies. Radio has took itself out of a game it could've won. Were there always more dollars 25-54 female? Of course. But that doesn't mean there weren't ample opportunities with younger consumers. When you have an all-or-nothing sales strategy, you can easily end up with nothing.
Bob Bellin says
There's a great lesson from rock radio. For those too young to have been there or too old to remember…in the 70s, "Progressive Rock" started out appealing almost exclusively to teens. The Arbitron ratings at the time probably underestimated the size of that audience drastically, due to screening methodology that, retrospectively, seemed almost designed to underreport rock listeners.
Nevertheless, they persisted. Progressive Rock morphed into AOR, and then splintered into Classic Rock, while the boomers median age increased to over 25. Meanwhile, Arbitron modified is methodology to attract more young men and some 10 years later, there were rock stations that were #1 25-54 and a lot of them were top 5. Fast forward to 35 years later, the original classic rock format still thrives, with one in almost every market.
There's an obvious lesson here. Will they be playing hip hop or K-pop at your local CVS in 10 or 15 years? Will those former teens gravitate to radio if its start playing it as 25-54 focused gold. IMO, in media and life, its easier to preempt a decision than reverse one.
Teens were an integral part of many formats, Rock and Top 40 among them. They generated a lot of revenue, although there were caveats. "The beers" – Miller, Bud, and many others – were a huge part of radio's advertising sales portfolios. They, of course, were looking for stations that could deliver listeners of legal drinking age. If a station's teen composition was "too high" (the percentage varied), their agencies would shy away from a station or leave them off the buy altogether.
Despite that wrinkle, teens were responsible for considerable radio sales until the industry adopted its all-or-nothing 25-54 obsession it adheres to today. Of course, Classic Rock has enjoyed the fruits of that decision. Thanks for the comment, Bob.

Law School Costs
Summary Tuition Net Tuition Conditional Scholarships Living Expenses Debt Federal Investment Debt-to-Income
National By job outcomes By bar results Schools
Tuition, also known as "nominal tuition" or "sticker price," continues to climb at U.S. law schools. The following chart reflects the average nominal tuition prices for each category over 35 years, from 1985 to 2019, for all ABA-Approved law schools.
Tip On the left panelAt the top of the page, you can change the data scope to view tuition from different angles.
Inflation has been a factor in rising law school prices, but law school tuition increases exceed the inflation rate between 1985 and 2019. In 1985, the average private school tuition was $7,526 (1985 dollars), which would have cost a student $17,871 in 2019. Instead, average tuition was $49,312 (2019 dollars). In other words, private law school was 2.76 times as expensive in 2019 as it was in 1985 after adjusting for inflation.
In 1985, the average public school tuition was $2,006 (1985 dollars) for residents, which would have cost a student $4,763 in 2019. Instead, average tuition was $28,186 (2019 dollars) for residents. In other words, public school was 5.92 times as expensive in 2019 as it was in 1985 after adjusting for inflation.
Nationwide averages from 1985 to 2013 come from the American Bar Association. Starting in 2014, LST calculates the nationwide average from individual schools, using data the schools reported to the American Bar Association. LST uses the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) for inflation, which covers 89% of the total U.S. population. For an explanation of various indices to compare tuition over time, see this paper. LST uses normal averages rather than weighted averages for the nationwide averages in 2014 and later. The ABA uses normal averages from 1985 to 2013.


Robert has worked as a designer and then more recently bringing digital transformation to a multi-disciplinary national survey company.
He started EvrBilt in 2018 to work with contractors, designers to assist them with the transformation of their workflows to benefit from process improvement and automation.
Robert is a passionate advocate of Level 2 BIM. He is engagement lead for Survey4BIM and has been variously involved in UKBIM Alliance and BIM4SME. He is also Race Director for Little Britain Challenge Cup, the annual construction and property regatta.
It has always been hard to justify anything that adds cost to the process of design and construction of projects. Construction verification is a good example of this, offering so much potential to reduce cost through early discovery of construction errors but easy to use only when a problem has become critical. In this session, Robert will make the case for verification throughout projects, giving examples of steel work, partition and services geometric verification at different stages of using different capture methods. This will be followed by a discussion of the how verification programming needs to be considered during a project. Robert will discuss practical approaches to the process when applied both on site or for producing better 'as built' information. He will answer questions about tolerance and discuss the circumstances under which action should and, perhaps more importantly, shouldn't take place. Finding problems is only half the issue: communicating them and reviewing whether they require action needs to be supported. In this session, he will show a series of examples of the visual methods for illustrating issues. Robert will also discuss an approach to train site staff (or other third parties) to collect data to be sent back for processing, and how this fits into a plan to record and verify everything at the time of completion. Robert will finish with a discussion of the role verification can play in supporting the production of high quality 'as built' information.

Honey also naturally contains antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.
The flavors are USDA Organic Certified, sweetened ONLY with a spoonful of organic honey from Brazil. Honeydrop cannot use local honey because US farms do not have the 2-mile 'drift" into crop that is required for certified organic requirements. Honeydrop also does not use honey with GMO's (genetically modified organisms).
Getting diagnosed with cancer really scared me. I started to think about the choices I made in life, and specifically the hormones and genetically modified foods I was eating relative to my cancer diagnosis. Getting cancer was the worst but best thing for me as it made me "go green" with my life.

Don't you just love pinching the chubby cheeks of cute little babies? These chubby cheeks and big tummies are only cute when they are young as this is often normal because of the so-called "baby fat". But when babies grow into toddlers and pre-schoolers, the baby fat should start to subside as they are more active during these stages. If that's not the case with your child, better have it checked by a pediatrician as he/she may be a candidate for childhood obesity.
Childhood obesity has affected a large percentage of young kids and teens all over the world. This health condition is caused by frequent dining in fast food restaurants, excess consumption of junk foods, bigger food servings, playing videogames, watching TV instead of playing outside with friends, and shortening of physical education classes in school to give way to academic subjects. It is your responsibility as parents to help you children lose weight and this is what we are going to discuss in this article.
Some things may seem uncontrollable because kids are getting more manipulative each day. But as parents, we need to be firm in implementing rules and promoting healthy living. To effectively do this, we must open the line of communication with our kids. Explain why they need to manage their weight, explain the risks and benefits involved, ask them how they want to do it, tell them how you want to do it, and meet half way. By doing so, the success rate will be high because kids will be more participative since they are involved with the planning.
An average adult works around 8 hours a day and 5 days a week; why not give at least one of the weekends to your child? Organize bonding activities on weekends where you get to have fun with your kids while burning some calories.
Children loves water, bring them to a nearby beach; swimming is a good calorie burner because it requires both the upper and lower body to work. Other great activities include, camping, hiking, mountain biking, jogging, or simply playing in the park.
Is your two year old toddler's pet name "Pacman" because she eats almost anything in her way? It may seem funny, but this may be of concern because this may result in obesity if you don't act soon.
Consult your pediatrician, and serve snacks that only you want your toddler to eat. Makes sense, right? Replace cookies with fresh grapes and berries in the cookie jar, serve whole grain bread and cereals instead of white bread, and make an effort to prepare fresh fruit shakes to substitute soda and other sweetened drinks. It does take extra work, but it's all worth it.
Kids love to play, even when eating. Take this fact to your advantage by preparing fun and interactive meals. For example, make a happy face or write his/her name using sliced fruits and vegetables. Another good idea is by allowing them to take part in food preparation like washing the greens, putting it on the pot, and stirring the mixture. Giving them the adult feel allows you to talk to them about eating "adult food"; you need to eat fruits and vegetable as well to show them that this is what "adult food" is.
These are just some of the thousands of things you can do as parents to prevent your kids from growing as obese adults. Each kid has individualized approach, what works for my kid may or may not work for your kid. With imagination, patience, and creativity, you can devise the most effective way on how to keep your kids active and healthy.

TGIF Y'all! We are currently trying not to float away here in VA...I mean rain for days with this close hurricane/storm- yikes! I hope everyone stays safe, especially the areas that are getting it worse than we are. The grocery stores were a mad house and we're just praying we don't flood! I'm pretty sure our side yards could be listed as waterfront property. Anyway, I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! Linking up today with April from A. Liz Adventures, Amanda over at Meet @ the Barre and Karli with September Farm. for Friday 5 and Friday Favorites. Join in!
2. Bows, bows and more bows! I have TONS of bows for Andi from all sorts of places. Wal-Mart is even a good source but there is one place I love the most! BabyliciousDivas on Etsy is fabulous! They have all sorts of sizes, styles, colors and items to pick from and they ship them in the cutest pink boxes! They also run specials on their facebook page so check them out!
3. Hubs and I spruced up another antique find last week and listed it. We sold a couple antique chairs a couple weeks ago and we have a ton more items to list. This accent table was in pretty rough shape but we decided to go with a country-chic vibe.
4. Favorite moments this week: Family time and having the hubs home most of the week!
Oh what a lil fancy diva with her earrings and bows, so sweet!!!!! Happy Friday, beautiful friend!
Love that piece that you guys redid! It's gorgeous!!
Happy Friday girl! Love ya!
That accent table turned out great! I think its sweet with her ears pierced!
OMG, she is the cutest little thing ever! Her pierced ears and those eyelashes, too?! Adorable. Happy Friday!
Such a cutie with her earrings! I almost think its easier to do it when they're little because they will be healed up before she even remembers having them done. And what girl dosen't like wearing earrings??
Miss Andi looks so cute with her earrings. So adorable. Personally, I love little babies with earrings but I do know some people who don't. But it's like it's your child and who cares what other think. That's the problem with opinions, everyone has one.
Y'all be safe in this weather! Andi looks so cute with her earrings!
Aww I love Andi's earrings!! She is such a doll!! I hope y'all stay safe this weekend!! I remember the forever rain we had earlier this year... not fun at all!
She looks so darling with her little earrings!! Speaking of darling, how cute is your sweet family all cuddled up!
Loved seeing your photos of her Christening and hearing about your daughter getting her little ears pierced. Think you were a smart mommy getting her ears pierced now when mommy can care for them, plus she looks so darn cute with little earrings. We did our daughter at this age and everyone loved how cute she looked with little earrings. Miss A is soO adorable with those cute little gold ball earrings.
I always dreamed of having a little girl with cute little pierced ears. I was unsure when to do it, but our pediatrician advised me to do it early and gave me some tips (write me for more info) for moms having their daughters ears pierced.
There is nothing sweeter than a little girl with little pierced earrings poking through their hair especially with little pearls. Our daughter is three now and is girlie-girl and loves changing her earrings to match her dresses.
Love how you rehabbed that piece of furniture! What fun projects!!!
How cool that the pediatrician pierces ears. I've never even thought to ask ours. Miss Lee needs her's pierced but I hate doing it to her. I'm a big softie!
Aw Andi looks so cute with her earrings! That refinished table looks so nice!!
So cute with the earrings! So many people have opinons on that and it's so annoying! Do whatever you want, it's you baby! Lol. Love all the pics! I hope the weather is getting better for you guys! And that accent table is awesome! Love it!
