Q: print multiples debug lines with variadic macro I'm using qt, gcc and c++11.
I'd like to have a debug function which works in this way:
int a = 1;
float b = 2.2;
QString c = "hello";

usage:
myFunc(a);       // print a 1
myFunc(a, b);    // print a 1 b 2.2
myFunc(a, b, c); // print a 1 b 2.2 c hello

I could have used just a variadic template function to solve it, but i need to print the variable name as well.
for just 1 argument this macro works fine
#define VAR(var) qDebug() << #var << var;

So I was trying to use variadics macro to solve my issue with something like:
#define MVAR(...) VAR(__VA_ARGS__)

It works with 1 variable, but when I try with more it gives me "macro VAR passed 2 argumets, but takes just 1".
How can I solve that?

A: You are calling the macro VAR with two arguments since __VA_ARGS__ expands to the full comma separated list. But that macro just takes one argument.
What you could do is still implement this with a variadic template, but use the macro to forward variable name and value. Unfortunately it requires quite a lot of boilerplate to merge and split variadic macro arguments. I believe Boost has a library for expressing this easier, but I have never worked with it.
#define EXPAND(x) x
#define COUNT_ARGS(...) COUNT_ARGS_(__VA_ARGS__, COUNT_ARGS_RSEQ())
#define COUNT_ARGS_(...) EXPAND(COUNT_ARGS_N(__VA_ARGS__))
#define COUNT_ARGS_N(_1, _2, _3, _4, _5, _6, _7, _8, _9, _10, _11, _12, _13, _14, _15, _16, N, ...) N
#define COUNT_ARGS_RSEQ() 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0

#define EXPAND_NAME_VALUE(argvalue, argname) argname, argvalue

#define EXPAND_ARGS(how, ...) EXPAND_ARGS_(how, COUNT_ARGS(__VA_ARGS__), __VA_ARGS__)
#define EXPAND_ARGS_(how, N, ...) EXPAND_ARGS__(how, N, __VA_ARGS__)
#define EXPAND_ARGS__(how, N, ...) EXPAND(EXPAND_ARGS_##N(how, __VA_ARGS__))
#define EXPAND_ARGS_1(how, arg, ...) how(arg, #arg)
#define EXPAND_ARGS_2(how, arg, ...) how(arg, #arg), EXPAND(EXPAND_ARGS_1(how, __VA_ARGS__))
#define EXPAND_ARGS_3(how, arg, ...) how(arg, #arg), EXPAND(EXPAND_ARGS_2(how, __VA_ARGS__))
#define EXPAND_ARGS_4(how, arg, ...) how(arg, #arg), EXPAND(EXPAND_ARGS_3(how, __VA_ARGS__))
// ...

#define MVAR(...) Print(EXPAND_ARGS(EXPAND_NAME_VALUE, __VA_ARGS__))

#include <string>
#include <iostream>

template <typename T>
void Print(const std::string& name, T&& value)
{
    std::cout << name << ": " << value << "\n";
}
template <typename T, typename... Ts>
void Print(const std::string& name, T&& value, Ts&&... other)
{
    Print(name, value);
    Print(std::forward<Ts>(other)...);
}

int main()
{
    int heyo = 5;
    float whoo = 7.5;
    double eyy = 2;
    std::string s = "hello";
    MVAR(heyo, whoo, eyy, s);
}

Output:
heyo: 5
whoo: 7.5
eyy: 2
s: hello

A: Not sure how the macros work but for printing all arguments you could use a recursive variadic template.
#include <iostream>

template <typename T>
void myFunc(T&& value) {
    std::cout << value << '\n';
}

template <typename T, typename ...Ts>
void myFunc(T&& value, Ts&& ...rest) {
    std::cout << value << '\n';
    myFunc(std::forward<Ts>(rest)...);
}

int main() {
    myFunc(0, 1, 2);
    return 0;
}

This would allow you to use the VAR macro.

A: It seems to me that a possible way is mix a recursive template solution (as suggested by MaLarsson) with a macro to duplicate the argument and transform in string the name of the variable for first occurrence.
I mean... if you define a recursive template function foo() (with a not template ground case that only print the end-of-line)
void foo ()
 { std::cout << std::endl; }

template <typename A0, typename ... As>
void foo (char const * nameA0, A0 const & a0, As ... as)
 {
   std::cout << nameA0 << ' ' << a0 << ' ';

   foo(as...);
 }

and a trivial function macro bar() as follows
#define bar(x)  #x, x

you can invoke foo() using bar() for every argument as follows
foo(bar(a), bar(b), bar(c), bar(d));

The following is a full working example
#include <iostream>

void foo ()
 { std::cout << std::endl; }

template <typename A0, typename ... As>
void foo (char const * nameA0, A0 const & a0, As ... as)
 {
   std::cout << nameA0 << ' ' << a0 << ' ';

   foo(as...);
 }

#define bar(x)  #x, x

int main()
 {
   int a { 0 };
   std::string b { "one" };

   foo(bar(a), bar(b));
 }

A: This will help you to achieve what you need. I am using variadic macros along with variadic template parameters to achieve this.This method will help you print variable's value along with it's name. This method is completely type independent and supports variable number of arguments. And can even display values of STL's nicely , given that you overload output operator for them
#define show(args...) describe(#args,args);
template<typename T>
void describe(string var_name,T value) //base case for template function
{
    clog<<var_name<<" = "<<value<<" ";
}

template<typename T,typename... Args>
void describe(string var_names,T value,Args... args)
{
    string::size_type pos = var_names.find(',');
    string name = var_names.substr(0,pos);
    var_names = var_names.substr(pos+1);
    clog<<name<<" = "<<value<<" | ";
    describe(var_names,args...);
}

Sample use :
int main()
{
    string a;
    int b;
    double c;
    a="string here";
    b = 7;
    c= 3.14;
    show(a,b,c);
}

Output :
a = string here | b = 7 | c = 3.14

Imipenem, an antibiotic, is used to treat a wide variety of clinical infections. Because it is rapidly broken down by an enzyme in the kidney, it is marketed in combination with cilastatin. Cilastatin inhibits the enzyme in the kidney that breaks down imipenem.


Keep things dry. Bacteria need moisture to thrive, and most bacteria will quickly multiply in wet or moist conditions. In completely dry environments, some species of bacteria can form spores, which are resistant to desiccation. As a general rule, however, keeping things like drains, clothing and carpeting dry will prevent bacterial growth.


The first equestrian vaulting competition of the season was held at the Scottish National Equestrian Centre, Ecclesmachan last weekend. Wee County Vaulters participated in a variety of classes gaining many podium places.
In the Senior 3* class Hannah Young was placed first vaulting on W.H.Bentley lunged by John Eccles. Rebecca Norval took second place on Tylers Kernel lunged by Amanad McLachlan with Hannah Young taking 3rd place on KCM Cantaro lunged by Anne Young. This was Cantaro's first competition.
In the Junior 2* class Lisa Mercer placed first on W.H.Bentley with Mitra Pezeshki taking 4th place on Tylers Kernel. Bryony Rawding also vaulted on Tylers Kernel in the Junior 1* class finishing in first position.
In the child class, Kerri Brylka took 3rd place with Mhairi Hume 4th and Katie Henderson 5th all vaulting on Captain Jack lunged by John Eccles.
Kerri and Bryony then competed together in the Pas de deux competition taking first place on W.H.Bentley.
In the Pre Novice Individual class Ferne Smith was placed first and Sally Henderson 2nd vaulting on Tylers Kernel once again lunged by Amanda McLahlan. The girls also competed in the Walk Individual 9-12 years class with Sally taking 2nd place and Ferne 3rd. In the over 12 class Joanne Messner was placed first with Michelle Messner 2nd. The girls also took part in the Walk pas de deux taking 5th place.
Finally in the squad walk class the Wee County Team of Joanne Mesner, Michelle Messner, Sally Henderson, Ferne Smith, Michaela Hogg, Rhona Swan and Eilidh Bennet were placed first in the restricted section with the Wee County Team of Lisa Mercer, Mitra Pezeshki, Bryony Rawding, Kerri Brylka, Mhairi Hume and Katie Henderson also taking first place in the open section.
Thanks must go to all the parents and friends who helped with lunging and stewarding at the competition.
2015 was a busy year for our vaulters. We had competitiors in all 3 FEI classes at the Senior European Championships in Aachen alongside 4 of our horses. We competed at 4 CVIs throughout the year and completed the competitive year at the British Championships bringing home many of the titles including Senior Female individual, Senior Male individual, Child Female individual, Senior Pas de Deux and Senior team to name a few.
Our year finished up with a display at the Horse of the Year Show. Our horses were brilliant and we presented 2 different routines with Warrior and Great Gatsby themes.
Wee County Vaulters have had yet another very successful year, although we have had to overcome some challenges throughout the year. OUR HORSES --- Anton, as we all know, has not made the standard required although he did have numerous opportunities but is now happy as a ridden horse in the Borders. Tyke has had some shoeing issues which has meant that he has not always been available at high level competitions. Billy definitely proved himself by taking the squad at the European Championships and hopefully will improve further as his experience grows. Brock, as always, is a bedrock of our club training and although gaining in age is still a great asset to our club. Henry, again has pulled it out the bag, taking our club and GBR to international medal success. Jack, our newest horse member, hopefully will make the grade to give our vaulters a sound and reliable platform for the future. As you all appreciate I have to start with our horses first as without them we cannot participate in our sport. A special thanks to those who have looked after our horses during the year and have helped take the load and responsibility from Jane and myself during times when we have had either to concentrate on competing or whilst I have been away participating in our sport in other capacities.
OUR LUNGERS and COACHES --- Our horses may be the most important part of our club however a club cannot run without lungers and coaches. A thanks to all who have helped in this area, both to our more mature members and our younger vaulters who are taking on this role. For 2015, we need to set time aside to ensure that assessments and qualifications are awarded to those who actively participate helping our club, whilst in my opinion, also improve themselves by giving their knowledge and experience to younger club members.
PARENTS --- Thank you parents becoming involved in helping our club in numerous ways:- sorting costumes for team with a theme, organising of vaulters at competitions, transportation of vaulters to competitions, helping steward at competitions, fundraising and all the other jobs that have to be done to ensure the smooth running of the club. It is the sacrifice and dedication of Wee County members that ensure our vaulters get to participate in our fantastic sport.
THE CLUB VAULTERS --- We have had another great year all round. Our vaulters have been producing personal bests at GB competitions. We are still the only club in Great Britain to have achieved International Championship success, adding another two medals to our club tally. New challenges await in 2015, for vaulters who are moving into the senior section, for those who are working hard to build on their successes of last year, for those who aspire to meet and improve on the achievements of others within the club. Good luck for 2015 (which actually means lots of hard work and dedication to our sport).
the very heavy work load that our CVI put on our small administrative team we did not run any BEV competitions. This year we do intend to run a competition on the 19th of April which will benefit all clubs within BEV, so please assist where you can.
As always we have seen some of our members move on to other sports, hobbies and pastimes. I hope that they can look back and enjoy the friendships that they made as part of our club and will always be welcome if they wish to come back to visit.
We are now back online after a few website issues and a bit of a failure keeping up to date with everything that's been going in the past year. We had a very successful season 2014 winning two medals at the World Equestrian Games - a Gold in the Senior Individual class and bronze in the Pas de Deux with Joanne, Hannah and John Eccles and W.H.Bentley. Fingers crossed we can keep the momentum going into 2015.
The first Scottish competition of the new season took place last weekend at Kingsbarn in Falkirk. With almost all the club members competing, it was a busy day, however thanks to our array of dedicated parents and lungers not only did our vaulters have a great day but the competition ran more smoothly as well. Thank you to all who chipped in.
The real successes of the day came from our younger vaulters. The novice team of Abbie Taylor, Rebecca Logan, Sophie Cairney, Jack Wilson, Leah Taylor and Lucy Taylor competed in this class for the first time. Lunged by Hannah Eccles on W.H.Bentley they achieved a fantastic second place.
In the walk section Claire Logan won the individual class with Sophie Wilson second and Mhairi Hume 6th. Erin Clarke placed 3rd in her class.
There were many successes from our more advanced vaulters, in the senior individual Joanne Eccles placed first, closely followed by Hannah Eccles and Helen Anderson. Joanne and Hannah won the pairs class and the S.E.V.T. vaulters won their team class. In the individual classes our vaulters experienced some unexpected problems, however still managed very respectable results.
We are now looking forward to Saumur where Rebecca Norval, Andrew McLachlan, Helen Anderson, Hannah Eccles and Joanne Eccles will all compete as individuals.
After competing at the master class in Paris and in Salzburg, both at the beginning of December, both Joanne and Hannah Eccles qualified for the World Cup final, which took place in Bordeaux this weekend.
Only the top 6 vaulters in the world were there to compete and we were proud to have both our girls there to represent GB.
A fantastic first round left Hannah in 3rd place and Joanne in the lead, with all to play for in the final. Both girls put in a brilliant second performance and finished the competition with Joanne winning the World Cup and Hannah in second. The girls competed on W.H.Bentley, lunged by John Eccles.
After a Rollercoaster weekend at the British Championships at Bishop Burton college, Wee County brought home some fantasic trophies and great results.
W.H.Bentley, Baroque, Tylers Kernel and W.V.C. Anton all became British Champion horses.
Many thanks to all who helped out over the weekend and in training throughout the year.
Pairs Champions: Hannah and Joanne Eccles with John Eccles and W.H. Bentley.
A link to the full results will be posted soon.
Congratulations to everyone, what a great season. Bring on the winter training.
Wee County had a very successful Scottish Championships. Many thanks to all involved.
Wee county vaulters have again had another very busy season this year. Unfortunately that has led to not enough website updates!!
Competing in Saumur, Ermelo, Belgium, Wiesbaden, Aachen and at the European Championships, Wee County have a lot to be proud of.
So far this year Andrew McLachlan, Hannah Young and Georgia Cox have made their international debut's as individual, whilst as part of the S.E.V.T. Victoria Campbell, Emma Biggerstaff, Leigh Taylor and Lisa Mercer all attended their first CVI and Championships.
Hannah Eccles won her first CVI** at the masters in Wiesbaden, Germany.
The international year concluded with the Championships in Le Mans, France. Joanne Eccles fought hard to retain her European Championship title, whilst Joanne and Hannah together missed out on the pairs gold by 0.002, and so took the silver medal. Andrew McLachlan was the highest placed junior male, placing 13th, and seven Wee County members, as part of S.E.V.T. placed 8th in the junior team class.
The Scottish and British Championships will conclude this season, fingers crossed all our vaulters will be able to put their best foot forward, and have a ball.
Full Results coming soon. Congratulations to all, and a big thanks to all the parents who helped at the competition and especially to Anne Young, Amanda McLachlan, Jackie Taylor and John Eccles for lunging W.H.Bentley, Tylers Kernel, Baroque and W.V.C. Anton.
Joanne and John Eccles have become World Champions at the World Equestrian Games in Kentucky.
Hannah Eccles finnished in 16th place.
It has beeen a very busy season for Wee County, which is unfortunatley the reason for the lack of news.
The Junior European championships resulted in a silver medal for Pas de Deux Joanne Eccles and Hannah Eccles, the first for Great Britain.
Brogan Moffat came top British Female gaining 16th place, only just missing out on second round.
Helen Anderson gained a personal best score in the CVI** class scoring 6.997.
Seven of our vaulters also formed the Scottish Equestrian Vaulting Team and came 6th place, in difficult circumstances.
The Scottish Equestrian Vaulting Championships were held at Rowallan Activity Centre, Fenwick on Saturday 4th September. Wee County Vaulters participated in several of the classes achieving podium places in all the classes they entered.
Joanne Eccles retained the senior female Individual title with Hannah Eccles taking second place. The sisters also won the Pas de Deux class vaulting both times on W.H.Bentley lunged by John Eccles.
In the Junior Individual class Helen Anderson was placed third with Brogan Moffat 4th both vaulting on Tylers Kernel lunged by Amanda McLachlan.
Andrew McLachlan became the Under 14 Champion with Hannah Young 3rd in this class vaulting on Baroque lunged by Jackie Taylor.
In the Pre Novice Team Competition the Wee County team was placed 2nd vaulting on W.H.Bentley lunged by Anne Young. The team consisted of Lisa Mercer, Sophie Cairney, Ewan Young, Georgina Mountford, Abbie Taylor and Jack Wilson.
The Wee County Intermediate team, vaulting on Baroque, was placed third in the Intermediate Team competition. The team consisted of Victoria Campbell, Emma Biggerstaff, Joanna Wilson, Georgia Cox, Leigh Taylor, Hannah Eccles and Helena Wilson. This class was won by the Scottish Equestrian Vaulting team which included seven Wee County Vaulters, Andrew McLachlan, Hannah Young, Cassie McIlwraith, Yasmin Williamson, Rebecca Norval, Harry Cox and Joanne Eccles vaulting on Tylers Kernel lunged by Amanda McLachlan.
The final success of the day was when W.H.Bentley received the prize for the best Individual horse.
The first Scottish competition took place at the weekend at the Scottish National Equestrian Centre. As well as organising the event Wee County Vaulters took 27 vaulters, 4 horses, and 4 lungers. Joanne Eccles was placed first in the senior individual class, with Hannah second. The girls also won the pairs class. Andrew McLachlan won the under 14 class with Harry Cox in fourth, Yasmin Williamson won the Junior non-selection class, with Cassie McIlwraith second. In the Junior selection class Brogan Moffat was 3rd with Helen Anderson 7th and Georgia Cox 8th. In the team class the Scottish Equestrian Vaulting Team made up principally of Wee County Vaulters, were a close second whilst Wee County's intermediate team won their class, and the pre-novice team were third. Sophie Cairney and Lisa Mercer were 3rd in the walk pairs class. For full results see the link on the results page. Many thanks to all our judges and helpers without whom the day could not have run as smoothly as it did.
Last weekend saw Joanne Eccles, Hannah Eccles and Brogan Moffat compete in the CVI*/** in Ermelo, NED. Brogan made her debut on the International circuit competing on Tylers Kernel, lunged by John Eccles and achieving a very creditable 6th place in the Junior class. Tylers Kernel also took a Canadian vaulter in the CVI** class, Jeanine van der Sluijs. Joanne Eccles won the CVI for the 3rd year in a row with sister Hannah in 5th place.
Today the Wee County Vaulters were out in force demonstrating at the Glasgow Vet School 50th Annual Rodeo. With 15 vaulters, 4 horses and 4 lungers it was a great day out, with some money raised for the team by their parents and the tombola stall.
Wee County have just returned from the CVI in Saumur France. Due to the competition being a CVI** only, Joanne and Hannah were the only vaulters from the club who competed. They vaulted on W.H.Bentley lunged by John Eccles. W.V.C.Anton also made his International debut competing with a Russian individual Svetlana Samokhvalova. Joanne won the Female CVI with Hannah close behind in 4th place. Together Joanne and Hannah teamed up with the South of Scotland Select vaulters to win the Nations Cup event.
Wee County Vaulters are holding the first junior selection trial on the 2nd May at SNEC, Oatridge. For more information and the schedule visit vaulting.org.uk.
Joanne Eccles will be running the Alloa half marathon on the 21st March to raise money for flying a horse to the World Equestrian Games Kentucky 2010. Please donate now using our button on the homepage.
Unfortunately the competition on the 20th of March at Eagles has been postponed due to snow. It will be rescheduled for later in the year. Wee county were planning on taking a pre-novice team, novice team and many individuals.
Last weekend Wee County Vaulters had a fantastic day of competition at the Scottish Championships at SNEC, Oatridge. Joanne Eccles came first in the Female Senior class, with Hannah Eccles winning the junior class. The pair then won the pairs class on W.H.Bentley lunged by John Eccles.

To top off the weekend Henry was crowed best team horse, with S.E.V.T winning the intermediate team class.
Congratulations to all, including Amanda and John, who lunged for Tyke and Anton and Henry.
The Junior and Senior European Championships took place in Sweden from the 27th July to the 4th August. Joanne Eccles was representing Great Britain in the senior individual female class with Hannah in the junior class. 7 members of Wee County also made up the Scottish Equestrian Vaulting Team which represented Great Britain as the junior team.
There were some fantastic results with Joanne Eccles winning Great Britain's first ever medal - Gold! Hannah Eccles was an amazing 7th, and the junior team were placed 5th.
Joanne and Hannah travelled out to Kentucky with John and Jane Eccles to the American Championships in Kentucky - from the 6th to the 15th of July. As well as being a fantastic competition they got a sneak preview of the brand new indoor arena which will be used for the World Equestrian Games next year. The girls were very lucky to get to compete on Espior, lunged by Nicole d'Auriol (Blue Star Vaulters - America). He went very well and Joanne won both rounds. Hannah was placed 11th. They are very grateful to the AVA for allowingthem to compete at the championships.

24.05.09 - British Selection Announced!
British Equestrian Vaulting (BEV) has selected the teams and individual vaulters for the European Vaulting Championships.
Twenty-one vaulters – seven senior team members, eight junior team members three senior individual female and three junior individual females – will attend the championships, which will be hosted by Malm� Ridklubb and will be held at Flyinge Kungsg�rd in Sweden between July 29 and August 2.
The Selected British Junior Team.
"I am delighted to welcome these vaulters to the British Vaulting Team," said Lucy Bell, Chef d'equipe BEV. "The squad this year is very strong competitively, following multiple international podium finishes this year.
"It is a very exciting time in British Vaulting with high level seasoned contenders looking for top placings, along with up and coming new talent being selected.
It is customary in vaulting for the junior and senior Great British representative squads to be selected from home Country teams and for the first time since 1996, the senior Great Britain team will be made up of an all English Vaulting team following three rounds of selection.
The team will be vaulting on Go for Gold, a mare owned by team coach Julie Newell. Go for Gold represented GBR at the World Equestrian Games in 2006 and World Championships in 2008 (with individual competitors). She also won Best team horse at the British Championships in 2008.
Senior coach and lunger, Julie Newell added: "I am delighted for the girls; they have all been working very hard for the past two years to be selected as Team GBR. I am extremely proud of them and really excited about the challenge ahead of us.
Wee County started this year well competing at the first selection trial at Solihull. Joanne Eccles came out top in the senior class, with Hannah Eccles first in the juniors. Joscelin Craig and Helen Anderson also put in creditable performances in the junior individual class. The S.E.V.T. made up of many Wee County Vaulters made it to first place in the junior class.
The second competition of the season was in Scotland at the Scottish National Equestrian Centre. Anton had his first outing competing in the individual classes with Joanne and Hannah, and coming first in the pairs class. We entered a pre-novice team on Baroque who were placed 4th and a Novice team on Tylers Kernel who came 3rd. This was Tyke's first team competition and he achieved his team scores for competing abroad. Andrew McLachlan came 1st in the Under14 individual class.
Wee County had 10 vaulters travel to the CVI** in Saumur at Easter. Josclein Craig competed for the first time individually on the continent, she competed well on Tyke as it was his first competition aswell. Joanne Eccles won the senior individual class on W.H.Bentley, and Hannah Eccles came 2nd in the Junior individual class. The junior team S.E.V.T made up mainly of Wee County Vaulters narrowly won the junior class at the CVI** - the first podium place for many of the team. All classes were lunged by John Eccles.
The second CVI** of the year was in Ermelo, the Netherlands. John took Henry, Joanne and Hannah as well as two dutch vaulters Nicky Bosman and Claire De Ridder and a danish girl Rikke Lauman. Joanne and Hannah both retained their winning titles from last year. Rikke Lauman was second to Joanne in the senior class with Claire 10th. Nicky Bosman was 17th in the junior class.
For full results of all the competitions so far see the results page.
John Eccles will be attending the FEI Seminar in Glasgow on the 6,7,8th of February.
Wee County training started back for the new season. We will be aiming to take all those up for selection to the 1st selection trial at Solihull on the 7th March. Everyone else will be aiming to compete at Oatridge on the 22nd March.

In the over 12 category Pamela Elder came first, 9-12 was won by Sophie Cairney and under 9 by Olivia Mears, all performing lovely freestyles. We wish eveyone a Merry Christmas and hope to see you all when we start back on the 6th of January.

The competition which attracted clubs from throughout Great Britain was held at the Scottish National Equestrian Centre, Ecclesmachen. Joanne and Hannah Eccles retained their pairs' championship title for a record 6th year in succession. Both girls also won Individual Championship titles with Joanne taking the senior individual title for the 4th time and Hannah winning the inaugural 14-18 Junior Individual title.

Members of the Wee County Vaulters have returned from the World Equestrian Vaulting and European Junior Equestrian Vaulting Championships in Brno securing top 10 places in all the classes in which they competed. The Championships attracted entrants from 25 nations.
The Wee County Vaulters Junior team which was the first junior club team to be selected to represent GB exceeded expectations by finishing in sixth place, competing on W.H.Bentley lunged by John Eccles who also coached the team with assistance from Joanne and Hannah. The team which was only formed in March, consisted of: Andrew McLachlan, Helen Anderson, Yasmin Williamson, Joscelin Craig, Brogan Moffat, Rebecca Norval and Cassie McIlwraith. Only Andrew had ever competed outside Britain prior to the Championships, which made the result even more amazing. W.H.Bentley achieved the highest horse score in the Junior team competition.
Thirty-three of the top junior female individuals from throughout Europe took part in a strongly contested female individual class. Hannah Eccles also vaulting on W.H.Bentley was one of the three selected to represent GB. Hannah was placed 8th in the competition gaining personal best scores in the compulsory exercises and achieved the highest GB placing in this class.
Wee County Vaulters were also represented in the World Championships Senior Female class by GB's top ranked vaulter Joanne Eccles. Once again Joanne competed on W.H.Bentley. Having achieved a personal best in the compulsory test Joanne progressed to the second round in seventh position. Only the top 15 of the 45 individual senior females from around the world qualified for the second round. Joanne then achieved personal best in the Technical test and then proceeded to enthral the audience with her freestyle (to the theme of "Lady in red") this saw her move up two places to finish in fifth position, the highest placing gained to date by a GB vaulter.
Thanks must go to all the people who gave financial support to the Wee County Vaulters including Clackmannanshire Sports Council and Benstons Motor Engineers, who's generous contributions helped pay for the horse transportation costs , to allow the club to compete at this prestigious competition.
Wee County Vaulters have just returned from a very successful trip to the Czech Republic. We had a Junior team, Hannah and Joanne Eccles representing Great Britain at the Championships. The team finnished 6th, whilst Hannah was 8th in the Junior Individual class and Joanne was 5th in the Senior class. Congratulations to all and thanks to the horses and all the parents for all their help and support!
The second selection trial for the World and European Championships took place in Wrexham, Wales on the 31st May-1st June. All the Wee County Vaulters did incredibly well, with Joanne Eccles winning the Senior individual class, Hannah Eccles winning the Junior individual class and the Junior team winning their class aswell. Other sucesses from the weekend included a 1st in the fun walk class for Wee County's St Trinnians routine, a 1st in pairs for Joanne and Hannah Eccles, 1st and 2nd in Junior non-selection individual for Joscelin Craig and Helen Anderson respectivley, 4th in Senior non-selection for Karen Hewitt, 3rd Under 14 for Andrew McLachlan, with great performances from Yasmin Williamson and Rebecca Norval aswell.

Joanne Eccles has been selected to represent Great Britain as a Senior individual at the World Championships also in Brno. Congratulations to all!!
After a month of many competitions Wee County has once again exceeded expectations. This started at the first selection trial at Oatridge at the end of April. Joanne won the senior individual selection class, and Karen Hewitt was 6th in her first canter individual class. In the junior section Hannah Eccles was a close second, with Joscelin Craig and Helen Anderson 5th and 6th respectivley. All our Under 14 individuals did incredibly well, competiting on Tyke at his second competiton they all performed well and Andrew MacLachlan took home the 1st place rossette. However the real stars were the Junior team. After only 6 weeks practice they managed to pull it out of the bag and win the junior class. A fantastic weeekend all round for the affilliated vaulters. Our pre-novice vaulters both did fantastically aswell with the 'St Trinnians' team competitng on Zigourney kindly loaned to us for that class by Helen Rogerson (Scottish Borders Vaulters) ~ Thank you. Everyone did well in their individuals, Leigh and Abbie Taylor won the pairs class with Cassie and Pamela a close second. In the fun team class the Oompa Loompas sweetend the judge to be placed first. Well done to all.
The seclection trial was followed by an international in Ermelo, Holland. John, Joanne and Hannah drove out with Henry and Sarah Reid from EVS. It was another great competition, the results were close and only revealled in the prize-giving, but Hannah gave it her all and became the first British individual to ever win a CVI*!!! This result was followed by Sarah Reid gaining her highest place ever coming 10th, and Joanne managed to just beat Katarina Faltin to the top position in the CVI** class. However, as if two firsts for Wee County wasn't enough Henry and John topped it off by winning the best individual horse!! Well done.
There were plenty other brits competiting and the Eagles Junior team managed to gain their first 1st place at an international, and Ricky Davis closely missed out on 3rd position in the male class.
After a few weeks rest John and Joanne headed out to Germany to compete at the master class at Wiesbaden. Joanne was competing on Nicola Stroeh's horse Lanson. He was very good, and after two interesting rounds Joanne ended up in 5th place.
So now Wee County are preparing for the next selection trial at the end of May in Wrexham Wales.
At the first competition of the season, held at Oatridge college, Wee County vaulted brilliantly, winning our first pre-novice team ever!! We put out two pre-novice teams, one of which took first place whilst the other came a close third. Our fun individuals also performed well, with Olivia Mears winning the under 9 section, Brogan Moffat winning the 12-14's, and Karen Hewitt won her first ever individual in the over 15 class. In the fun team class Wee County's 'fame' team competiting on W.H.Bentley and lunged by Amanda Maclachlan came 3rd with the 'Cheerleaders' 4th on Baroque lunged by Jackie Taylor. In the under 14 class Andrew Maclachlan was second vaulting on Baroque lunged by Amanda, Yasmin, Kirsty and Rebecca all put in very creditable performances; it was Rebecca's first ever under 14 competition. In the senior individual class Joanne Eccles won with Hannah a close second. New Wee County members Helen Anderson and Joscelin Craig also did very well, after only having 3 weeks to prepare. Tyke (Tylers Kernel) competed for the first time in the individual class lunged by John Eccles, and he took third place with Joanne. Everyone did a fantasic job, especially all the parents who put in such hard work looking after costumes and acting as officials during the competition. Further results on the results page.
A great start for the new season.

Celebrating Women in Fiction
Julianne Snow
Is the average horror reader discriminatory?
Can female authors gain the same level of respect for their work as male authors?
They are both interesting questions; ones that I have wondered about since releasing my first horror/science fiction novel.
Looking through history, the horror genre is one that has been dominated by men. I have to wonder if that is a product of how society has viewed women as the weaker, fairer sex. Women have been seen as needing protection and guidance from the men in their lives and in some cases weren't allowed to vote or speak their minds publicly until the 19th and even the 20th centuries. Yet, despite all of these forms of societal censorship, women have managed to gain popularity in the circles of horror writers and horror readers.
Horror has had a long history in literature, mainly in part because readers enjoy being scared. Society has had a long interest in all things supernatural and it's absolutely no wonder to me that supernatural horror was the prevalent form until the advent of Gothic horror. A lot of the gothic horror coming out of the 18th century was from women writers and it was written to appeal to a largely female fan base. Women like Ann Radcliffe, Marjorie Bowen, Elizabeth Gaskill, Regina Maria Roche and Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley have entertained readers with some of the most well-known and well recognized works of literature in the horror genre.
The trend for strong women in horror literature has only continued since then. Authors such as J.M. Dillard, Susie Maloney, Anne Rice, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Gemma Files, and Sarah Pinborough along with many others have only helped to propel the female voice further in horror literature as a whole. With the advent of the self-publishing revolution, many female horror authors have stepped up to the plate and delivered astonishing reads as well.
But are horror readers reading women horror authors? I think the answer to that question is yes but there is a bigger question – are they reading female horror authors as frequently as they are reading male authors who write in the same genre? That is an infinitely harder question to answer. If I look at the books shelves of my male friends, they are filled with male authors almost to the point of excluding the women. Conversely, the bookshelves of my female friends show a definite appreciation for both genders. That is not to say that men only read male authors, it's just that some of them have yet to discover the strong and terrifying voices of the women writing in the genre.
As a woman who has just released a novel in the horror genre, I have found that the reaction to my book has been very favorable. While I realize that it may appeal to a sub sect of horror fans, I feel like I have been warmly welcomed into the fold. I had the unique opportunity to wet my feet prior to releasing a full length book so I believe that has helped me to cull a small fan base. In that regard, I am lucky and very grateful.
Given that women appear to have strapped themselves firmly into the passenger seat of the horror genre, it only serves to note that their notoriety will expand within the next ten years. With horror set to make a huge revival in the future, women authors are primed to make a distinct mark on the genre. So pick up one of the many wonderful tomes written by a woman and prepare yourself for a stellar scare.

A seventh hell at Binley road
COVENTRY & North Warwickshire's woes in Division One continued at the weekend with a seventh defeat of the season as they were turned over by fifth-place Wombourne at Binley Road.
Yet again, an inconclusive batting performance led to the seven-wicket defeat with the hosts being dismissed for just 218 in which openers Aaron Lewis (45) and Marco Higgins (22) plus number three James May (39) all played themselves in only to get out without making a really significant total.
Skipper Tony Bristow clipped 34 to help take the total to 218 all out but their Wolverhampton visitors made short work of their reply. Karl Quinney (58) and Michael Hill (75) led the run chase and though Harry Horsley picked up a couple of wickets, the outcome was never in doubt leaving C&NW cemented in the bottom two without a victory.
Leamington travelled to leaders West Bromwich Dartmouth and returned with six points from a losing draw.
The table-toppers batted first and reached 240-6 in their allotted overs, Ateeq Javid (81) leading the way, Tom Lewis (3-53) was the pick of the away attack. In reply, Leamington were well served by Alex Phillips (48) while David Bailey (28), and Rob Williams (26) were defiant in the middle order. But in the end it was backs to the wall to hold out at 186-9 to defy the home side the win. No luck for Stratford at home to second-placed Bromsgrove, who landed a four-wicket triumph thanks mainly to a fine undefeated 97 from Brett D'Oliveira. Earlier, the hosts had been dismissed for 201 in their final over, Matt Corby stroking 61 with Junead Zaman (26) and Wigsey Troughton (25) providing the best of the back-up but in the end their battling efforts were in vain.
In Division Three, Bablake produced an improved performance at Sutton Coldfield with a winning draw. Opener Richard Swaffield hit two sixes in the first over before falling on 33 while Guy Eames hammered a staunch 71 and Josh De Souza an accomplished 68 before Steve Swaffield cracked a brilliant 63no in 33 balls as the total reached 282-9. That target proved too much for Sutton, despite a 90-run opening stand, steadied to 241-7 in which Tom Cowley took 3-64.
Improving Berkswell went third in Division Four after their 165-run demolition of St Georges in Telford in which Dominic Ostler hammered a magnificent unbeaten 123 out of their impressive 298-6. James Neale (53) and Tom Milnes offered solid backing. St Georges hardly threatened and with Babar Khan (6-34) making significant inroads the innings collapsed to 133 all out. Skipper Ostler said: "We can't afford to become complacent. Providing we continue to play with the confidence we have at present I sure we'll be strong contenders for promotion."

'Credible evidence' linking Saudi crown prince to Khashoggi murder: UN expert
Nina Larson, AFP
Published Wednesday, June 19, 2019 6:32AM EDT
Last Updated Wednesday, June 19, 2019 7:49AM EDT
There is "credible evidence" linking Saudi Arabia's crown prince to the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi last October, an independent UN rights expert said Wednesday, calling for an international investigation.
In a fresh report, UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions Agnes Callamard said she had "determined that there is credible evidence, warranting further investigation of high-level Saudi Officials' individual liability, including the Crown Prince's."
The report stressed that "no conclusion is made as to guilt. The only conclusion made is that there is credible evidence meriting further investigation, by a proper authority, as to whether the threshold of criminal responsibility has been met."
Callamard said for instance that she had found evidence that "Khashoggi was himself fully aware of the powers held by the Crown Prince, and fearful of him."
Khashoggi, a Washington Post contributor and critic of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was murdered at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2.
Riyadh initially said it had no knowledge of his fate, but later blamed the murder on rogue agents.
Saudi prosecutors have absolved the crown prince and said around two dozen people implicated in the murder are in custody, with death penalties sought against five men.
Callamard has been conducting what she has described as "an independent human rights inquiry" into Khashoggi's death.
UN special rapporteurs are also independent and do not speak for the world body.
In Wednesday's report she said she found that the probes conducted so far by Saudi Arabia and Turkey had "failed to meet international standards regarding the investigation into unlawful deaths."
She urged UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to launch an official international criminal investigation into the case, which she said would make it possible to "build-up strong files on each of the alleged perpetrators and identify mechanisms for formal accountability, such as an ad hoc or hybrid tribunal."
She also called on the FBI in the United States, where Khashoggi was a resident, to open an investigation into the case, if it has not already done so, "and pursue criminal prosecutions within the United States, as appropriate."
For her investigation, Callamard said that, among other things, she had viewed CCTV footage from inside the consulate of the killing itself.
The report identified by name the 15 people she said were part of the mission to kill Khashoggi, and suggested that many of them were not on the list of 11 unnamed suspects facing a closed-door trial over the murder.
Wednesday's report also found that there was evidence that "Saudi Arabia deliberately used consular immunity to stall Turkey's investigations until the crime scene could be thoroughly cleaned."
"In view of my concerns regarding the fairness of the trial of the 11 suspects in Saudi Arabia, I call for the suspension of the trial," she said in the report.

Review of Starfire - DC Bombshells Statue
Written By: Michael Crawford
Overall Average Rating: 3.5 out of 4
Please share with your friends!
Okay, I'll admit it. I've never been a huge fan of Starfire...until the current Teen Titans cartoon. Yea, she's adorable on there, and I love her pattern of speech and naive innocence combined with tremendous violence and anger when you piss her off. The show is amazing in general, but she's a highlight.
I'm a completist on the DC Bombshells series, so picking up the Starfire release was a no-brainer. Like the rest of the series, the design is by Ant Lucia, and has just started shipping. She's limited to 5000, and will run you around $100 - $125, depending on the retailer.
Click on the image below for a Life Size version
Nothing special here, but the edition size and number is printed on the interior foam trays, as well as the bottom of the statue itself. No Certificate of Authenticity however, and the statue comes in three pieces: base, name plate, and Starfire herself, all packed safely.
The basis for the series is pretty simple - Ant Lucia takes a DC character (there's been a couple men, although most have been women) and re-envisions them as a 40's pin-up character, much like you would have seen on the side of a B-17 Bomber during WWII.
I have a pretty specific expectation with the line. My first priority is recognizing who the character is immediately. I shouldn't have to pause and wonder. In this regard, Starfire is just about perfect. From the flaming hair and fiery eyes to the color of her skin, I know this is she.
But it's not just supposed to be Starfire - it's supposed to be 40's style Starfire. Again, she crushes it. The best statues in this series play off the powers of the character to create interesting concepts. Here, they've used the 'fire' aspect with the old school fire fighter's costume, including the suspenders, coat, and especially 40's style fireman's hat, to full effect.
Not only did they hit on both the character depiction and 40's design, but they managed to create an amusing dynamic look - she's a firefighter who creates fire, and she's attempting to put herself out. Does she not realize the flames near her foot are coming from her? I'd buy that. The pose, expression, and extras - like the flowing water coming from the bucket, and thin, flapping belt on the coat - drive home the idea that this is a split-second in time.
There's an appropriate amount of sculpt detail in everything from the water to the fire, and there's some nice smaller details on the costume as well. She stands about 11" tall with the stand - which you have to use, since the metal pegs are protruding from her foot - but she's about 10 1/4" on her own.
At first glance, I was extremely happy with the paint work. The translucent material they used for the hair and water helps a lot, capturing your eye, and the bright colors across the costume really pop. But on macro inspection, I did notice that some of the edges, particularly those involving white, are a little sloppy.
It's particularly noticeable on the cuffs of the jacket and arms, the edging on the coat, or along the black suspenders. It's not atrocious, and in hand is more subtle. But the quality could be a smidge better, even if it is an improvement already over some of the past releases.
While the original retail on these is still $125, you can find this one for around $100 or so at many retailers. That's a very good price for the quality you're getting here, and deserves a slightly better than average rating in this category.
Things to Watch Out For -
Not a thing. The only assembly is placing the foot pegs into the base - always be careful since the pegs are metal, and could damage the softer polyresin - and attaching the name plate to the front. The plate is held in place with a strong magnet, but when you're moving the statue around you should still keep in mind that it's a separate piece and can be knocked off.
This is *almost* a four star statue, and I have no doubt that I'll be nominating it next year for the Poppies ballot. I do wish the paint work was just a squeak cleaner, but it's a minor nit compared to the overall look of the statue on the shelf.
I am curious as to whether collectibles like this are waning in popularity in our current environment. I can certainly understand an aversion, and I'm very much in support of the MeToo and TimesUp movements. This particular statue design avoided any overt or silly sexualization, but there's a different aspect to it that I find slightly disturbing - she's a bit ditzy. There's a real Chrissy Snow vibe coming off her, at least for me, and while that doesn't speak to the sexual harassment of women, it does touch on their marginalization. I believe that both comic book publishers, and the corresponding collectibles based on their characters, should start shifting their portrayals of their female characters to the same concepts as their male characters - strong, heroic, competent, and yes, attractive but not sexualized. And that's my soapbox for today!

How Disney Could Respond To Warner Bros' Theatrical Bombshell
By Dirk Libbey published 8 December 20
Today's best Disney+ deals
Last week, Warner Bros raised a lot of industry eyebrows when the major American film studio announced that it will release its entire 2021 theatrical film slate directly onto HBO Max on the same day that all those movies will also open in theaters. To be sure, this was a huge deal. The industry as a whole is now playing a waiting game to see how the other major studios might respond to this move. And one of those studios, Disney, already has a major event planned for Thursday where they almost certainly will do just that. The event is four hours long, so clearly something big is planned.
The Walt Disney Company revealed it would have a special Investor Day a couple of months ago after it announced a major restructuring to the company's movie production pipeline. Rather than having two different pathways to distribution, the theatrical method and the streaming platform, the new Disney Studio will run everything together, meaning that the decision of whether a movie is destined for Disney+ or theaters will be made later in the process. However, with the Warner Bros plan now announced, it would not be a surprise at all for Disney to make a similar move regarding its upcoming theatrical slate. And because of the restructuring, it would be easier to do from a business standpoint.
I don't see Disney doing exactly what Warner Bros. has done, i.e. releasing all 2021 movies directly to Disney+ on the same day they hit theaters, at least not without adding slightly more to the mix. Disney already floated the idea of adding theatrical films for an additional price when it released Mulan as a Premiere Access title, and while it's unclear exactly how successful that was, Disney has said the company was largely happy with the results. The idea that Black Widow could be the next Premiere Access movie on Disney+ has been rumored, but what if we see something a little different from Disney+ in 2020?
Premiere Access As A New Subscription Option For Disney+
Making some or all of Disney's 2021 theatrical offerings Premiere Access options is certainly one possibility, but that's potentially a lot of $30 credit card charges Disney could be asking its viewers to add. 2021 currently has three Marvel movies, three major animated releases and other high profile films, like Jungle Cruise and Cruella, that could also be added to that list. That means Marvel fans alone could be spending over $100 just to watch the three new entries in the MCU when you add together the monthly subscription fees and the Premiere Access ticket price.
What would potentially make more sense is making Premiere Access a second tier option for Disney+. Disney+ is incredibly successful as a streaming service, but it's also one of the least expensive streaming options available. It only cost $6.99 per month. There's no added price for 4K UHD video like Netflix has. You get a lot for your money. There's no question in anybody's mind that Disney+ will be seeing prince increases before too long, but one way it could do that without ruffling too many feathers is by actually providing something more for the added price tag.
It needs to be remembered that this event this week is an Investor Day, so its primary audience is Wall St. The purpose is to give the people that dictate investment decisions confidence that Disney is still a company worth investing in. A decision that is going to help increase revenue in a big way for the one part of the Disney Company that has remained strong throughout the pandemic is the sort of thing that sends stock prices skyward.
Why A New Subscription Tier Makes Sense
At $6.99 per month, Disney+ is less than half the normal price of HBO Max. As such, Disney could literally double the price of a Disney+ Premiere Access subscription, and still provide the same thing that HBO Max is providing for essentially the same price. Alternatively, Disney could make the Premiere Access price something like $9.99 a month and still offer a product at a price cheaper than most other competing streaming services, but also increase the revenue from Disney+ in a big way.
Consumers are generally more willing to spend a few extra bucks a month rather than drop larger sums once. Or in this case, more than once, so this sort of option will likely see more buy-in from the Disney+ customers. Especially since if we see a second tier option only cost three or four dollars more a month, it will basically look like a deal compared to Mulan, as the added cost will only be slightly more than what that one movie cost. Disney+ could see a lot more people subscribing to a slightly more expensive Disney+ that offers more than they would see in a series of one-off Premiere Access purchases.
Why A New Subscription Tier Doesn't Make Sense
While I certainly think there's a lot of appeal to this idea, and there's a decent chance we could see this, or something like it, revealed on Thursday, there are certainly reasons why it might not happen. While Disney and Warner Bros. are both major movie studios trying to navigate a very different marketplace, the two are certainly not identical, and while this sort of plan may work for WB, there are reasons it may not work for Disney.
First off, Disney+ is just in a very different position in the market than HBO Max. Many have suggested that the decision to move theatrical movies to the streaming platform has more to do with HBO Max not seeing Disney+ levels of success, and less to do with the potential state of theaters in 2021. There is probably at least some truth to this. Users have not flocked to HBO Max the way they did to Disney+, so Disney+ simply doesn't need this boost. People are happy with what Disney+ is now and are paying the subscription fee for it happily.
There's also the fact that, at present, there simply may not be the content to justify the second tier. While Disney has a lot of big plans for theatrical releases in 2021, right now, there are months where nothing is happening. No matter how minor the price increase might be for this new tier, customers will want to get something for it. Certainly, we could see a reshuffling of the release calendar that helps alleviate this issue, but it is worth considering.
There's no question that Disney's Investor Day on Thursday will contain big announcements; the only question is exactly what those announcements will be. Certainly we'll see announcements about content, new shows and movies that are in the pipeline, but odds are there will be at least one major announcement that will be core to Disney's entire market strategy and give investors an eye to the future of what Disney+ will be going forward, not simply what sorts of product will be on it.

Parents, would you ever eat if your child had none? Would you ever worry about having new clothes if theirs didn't fit? Would you ever buy yourself something that would prevent you from providing for them?
Unfortunately, our society actually encourages us to believe that we are worthless to others unless we feel happy and fulfilled. Get all those THINGS and do EVERYTHING you want so you feel better; only happy people contribute! Guess what? THAT'S BACKWARDS. Any good mother will tell you that there are nights she does not want to make/drive through and pick up dinner–but she does it. There are mornings she does not want to get out of bed–but she does it. At one point, we all thought that we weren't going to make it through the first year alive and/or sane. (I'm still not sure my sanity is what it once was. Sleep deprivation is a killer.) Even for people without children, do you believe that you can't make a difference if you're having a bad day?
Eva is my reason. I power through the bad days because even when she is making me crazy (which is way more frequentlysince she turned 4) I love her more than free time, more than disposable income, more than going out with the girls, and more than doing what I want.
I'm not saying all parents should be martyrs to their children, we're still individuals with needs too, I'm saying that the idea you can't contribute if life gets hard is just wrong.
The past couple weeks have been really hard for me. As I mentioned in my last post, we are entering a season of change. I don't know where exactly we're going but it's somewhere new. The not knowing stresses me out. My job stresses me out. My personal life stresses me out. And when Eva has a bad day or a temper tantrum, I feel like a bad mother. Which stresses me out. It's not easy putting a stubborn, willful, cantankerous little girl first. The thanks we receive as parents are hugs, kisses, and the occasional unexpected sweetness. I'm still holding on to Eva telling me I am the best mommy ever from MONTHS AGO to get me through this phase with her. But I would rather die than know I was constantly shorting her to make myself feel better.
At the end of the day, we all need to remember that we can find joy in sacrifices. Maybe not immediately, and certainly not if it is a sacrifice made in resentment, but eventually the reward of joy will come back to find you.
A kitschy song from bible camp is playing in my head now about putting others first.
That is our hierarchy of priorities right there. And during this Easter weekend, when many of us are reflecting on a world-altering sacrifice, I hope I can set my stresses aside, lift up my daughter, my family and my friends and be thankful I have the opportunity to sacrifice for the ones I love. Where would I be if He hadn't sacrificed for me?
Hope your day is filled with joy.

Dearest Abby, read your blog this morning and and it took me on a journey back in time. You show up regularly on my FB and I've been following Eva as she grows up. What a beautiful child. My heart overflows at the relationship that you and Emily have and the support she gives you; she has your back and will be there for Eva to fill gaps. Everyone needs an aunt/uncle like that; moms can't do it all.
As for Eva's dad, he's wrong. You can love others even if you don't always love yourself. That's just something that came out in the 70's from a guy named Eric Fromm. Get over yourself, Dad. It's not all about you. You're right, Abby, it's not a choice about Eva's needs.
Debbie, thank you for the comment! It did make me laugh…you are so right, I was a complete pistol. 🙂 And my mother reminds me exactly where all of Eva's personality comes from, the good AND the bad!
Thank you for the encouragement! It is much appreciated.
Couldn't help rolling my eyes at him. It's like, "Gee, it must be nice to be able to totally abdicate responsibility for your obligations as a decent human being because you *feel bad.*" I am making my judgy face in his general direction, just for you.
And right? Come on, dude.
Could only find the clip in spanish… so here are two short montages of a single, working mom with her growing boy. Enjoy!


UK relaunching in 2004 In Canada, Combined Mills markets pre-stirred Yoplait yogurt, Minigo, Tubes, Originator, Creamy, Delicieux, Yop, Yoplait Basket, Yoptimal, and Asana. In 1971, the Cooperative agricole de Granby, which went on to become the largest dairy cooperative in the country—Agropur—launched the Yoplait sort in Canada. In 1993, Agropur and Agrifoods (the two largest dairy cooperatives in Canada) combined their yogurt and fresh cheese marketing and manufacturing activities to material Ultima Foods. Ultima Foods oversaw Yoplait type products in every part of Canada until 2012, when General Mills took on the right (Ultima Foods continues to manufacture Yoplait products in Canada as a subcontractor, but has also launched a unqualifiedly owned compare with product direction, iogo).
Yoplait made a incredibly remembered advert when they re-launched Yop as the "smoother forward movement to start the heyday" with a drive through McCann-Erickson in April 2004. The competition targeted teenagers and the blot featured teenagers with wiry Jamaican accents singing a manifestation of the Whirlwind Accede to to-do, Gimme Want Jo'anna, in their sleep. The song has been reworked into "Utter me Yop" (Gimme Yop me mamma, Yop me mamma, Yop for when de mornin' take place) and the teenagers, who are seen asleep against a toilet-roll holder or propped up in the bathroom, are urgent that their mothers yield them the drink.
The word country comes from Old French contrée, which derives from Vulgar Latin (terra) contrata ("(land) lying opposite"; "(land) spread before"), derived from contra ("against, opposite"). It most likely entered the English language after the Franco-Norman invasion during the 11th century.
In English the word has increasingly become associated with political divisions, so that one sense, associated with the indefinite article – "a country" – through misuse and subsequent conflation is now a synonym for state, or a former sovereign state, in the sense of sovereign territory or "district, native land". Areas much smaller than a political state may be called by names such as the West Country in England, the Black Country (a heavily industrialized part of England), "Constable Country" (a part of East Anglia painted by John Constable), the "big country" (used in various contexts of the American West), "coal country" (used of parts of the US and elsewhere) and many other terms.
The equivalent terms in French and other Romance languages (pays and variants) have not carried the process of being identified with political sovereign states as far as the English "country", instead derived from, pagus, which designated the territory controlled by a medieval count, a title originally granted by the Roman Church. In many European countries the words are used for sub-divisions of the national territory, as in the German Bundesländer, as well as a less formal term for a sovereign state. France has very many "pays" that are officially recognised at some level, and are either natural regions, like the Pays de Bray, or reflect old political or economic entities, like the Pays de la Loire.
A version of "country" can be found in the modern French language as contrée, based on the word cuntrée in Old French, that is used similarly to the word "pays" to define non-state regions, but can also be used to describe a political state in some particular cases. The modern Italian contrada is a word with its meaning varying locally, but usually meaning a ward or similar small division of a town, or a village or hamlet in the countryside.
In 1964, 100,000 French farmers merged their regional dairy cooperatives to sell nationally. In 1965, two co-operatives, "Yola" and "Coplait", merged, becoming "Yoplait". The company's logo is a six-petaled flower designed by Philippe Morlighem, each petal representing one of the six main cooperatives' founders. A redesigned logo, which has been slowly rolled out since the late 2000s, uses a flower with only five petals.
On May 18, 2011, General Mills announced it had agreed to purchase a controlling 51% interest in the brand's main operating company Yoplait SAS, and a 50% interest in a related company owning the brand's intellectual property, with Sodiaal retaining the remainder. The announcement of the completion of the acquisition was made on 1 July 2011.In September 2017,Yoplait launched new campaign for kids yoghurt brand, Frubes.

It most likely entered the English language after the Franco-Norman invasion during the 11th century.
The term "country" can refer to a sovereign state. There is no universal agreement on the number of "countries" in the world since a number of states have disputed sovereignty status. There are 206 sovereign states, of which 193 states are members of the United Nations, two states have observer status at the U.N. (the Holy See and Palestine), and 11 other states are neither a member or observer at the U.N. All are defined as states by declarative theory of statehood and constitutive theory of statehood. The latest proclaimed state is South Sudan in 2011.
In the United Kingdom, Yoplait UK Ltd is now 100% owned by Yoplait France. In April 2009 the joint venture between Yoplait and Dairy Crest ended. Yoplait UK Ltd is based in General Mills' European head office; Harman House in Uxbridge, London, United Kingdom. Tubed yogurts are called Frubes (portmanteau of fruit and tube) in the UK.
Yoplait in Israel is managed by Tnuva, Israel's largest dairy, and products are kosher. The company's drinkable yogurt comes in a 100-gram shot-style bottle with a center opening for easy gripping. Yoplait-brand flavored yogurts account for 42–52% of the Israeli market. Tnuva and Yoplait entered into a partnership to set up production facilities in Romania in 2007. In 2009, Tnuva introduced a 500-gram family-size yogurt called Yoplait YYY that comes in resealable containers.
In the U.S., Yoplait participates in an annual program called "Save Lids to Save Lives" to raise money for breast cancer research. Yoplait donates ten cents per pink foil lid that is mailed to the company, but they state in fine print on all promotional materials that their donations will be capped at $2,000,000 per year. This money is donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Yoplait has been the primary sponsor of Race for the Cure, a marathon held to raise additional research money, since 2001.
The 2011 documentary Pink Ribbons, Inc. reported that some products sold under the "Save Lids to Save Lives" campaign had previously contained milk from cows treated with bovine somatotropin, a growth hormone banned in many nations for its possible link to diseases in humans, until the company agreed to remove it.
The degree of autonomy of non-sovereign countries varies widely. Some are possessions of sovereign states, as several states have overseas territories (such as French Polynesia or the British Virgin Islands), with citizenry at times identical and at times distinct from their own. Such territories, with the exception of distinct dependent territories, are usually listed together with sovereign states on lists of countries, but may nonetheless be treated as a separate "country of origin" in international trade, as Hong Kong is.
