Halton oder Halton-on-Lune ist ein Ort in Lancashire, England. Zusammen mit dem Weiler Aughton bildet er die civil parish Halton-with-Aughton. Die civil parish hat 2306 Einwohner (2001).

Halton wird als Haltun im Domesday Book erwähnt, es hatte aber auch davor schon Bedeutung, da es Earl Tostig dem Bruder Harald II. gehörte. Nach dem Tode Earl Tostigs und der Normannischen Eroberung Englands veränderte sich die Bedeutung des Ortes. Das 5 km westlich gelegene Lancaster übte auf den Adel eine größere Anziehungskraft als Wohnort aus. Trotzdem blieb die strategische Bedeutung des Ortes direkt am River Lune erhalten. In Halton befinden sich die Überreste einer Festung aus dem 12. Jahrhundert. Die Befestigung war auf einem künstlich angelegten Hügel, einer Motte, errichtet worden, dessen Basis heute einen Durchmesser von 95 m und eine Höhe von 3,20 m hat, die Oberfläche des Burgberges hat einen Durchmesser von 11 m. Auf dem Plateau wurde 1939 ein Beobachtungsposten eingerichtet und später ein Fahnenmast errichtet, die den stark beschädigten Hügel weiter zerstört haben. Die Burg ist eine von mehreren Burgen im Tal des River Lune, die heute nicht mehr existieren, die aber einst als eine wichtige Verteidigungslinie gegen feindliche Einfälle aus dem Norden nach England, die  über den Gebirgspass des Shap Summit und dann entlang dem Lauf des River Lune bei Tebay vollzogen werden konnten, schützten und noch heute den Grenzlandcharakter dieser Gegend nach der normannischen Eroberung demonstrieren. Mit dem Wachsen der Bedeutung Lancasters schwand aber immer mehr die Bedeutung der Festung in Halton und die Anlage wurde schließlich aufgeben.

Die Kirche St Wilfrid's in Halton hat ihren Ursprung in vornormannischer Zeit. Das heutige Kirchengebäude ist aus dem 19. Jahrhundert und der Kirchturm aus dem 16. Jahrhundert. Die Kirche ist ein Grade-II geschütztes Baudenkmal. Auf dem Kirchengelände steht ein angel-sächsisches Hochkreuz aus Sandstein, dass die Sigurd Legende darstellt. Das Kreuz, das eines von weniger als 50 im Norden von England verbliebenen Kreuzen dieser Art ist, ist ein  geschütztes Denkmal (scheduled Monument).

Bis 1966 wurde der Bahnhof Halton an der ehemaligen "Little" North Western Railway und dann der Bahnstrecke Leeds–Morecambe betrieben. Die Züge zwischen Leeds und Morecambe fahren inzwischen auf einer anderen Strecke und die alte Strecke wurde zum Fahrrad- und Wanderweg umgebaut.

Aymeric Laporte, teljes nevén Aymeric Jean Louis Gérard Alphonse Laporte (Agen, 1994. május 27. –) spanyol válogatott labdarúgó, a Manchester City játékosa.

Pályafutása

Klubcsapatokban
Aymeric Laporte nagyon fiatalon, mindössze 16 évesen már az Atletic Club játékosa volt. A klubnál régi hagyomány, hogy csak baszk játékosokat alkalmaznak. Laporte az aquitaniai Agenben született, ám Bayonnéban, Baszkföld Franciaországi területén nőtt fel. Hamar kölcsönadták a  CD Baskonia  csapatának. Egy év múlva visszatért és a felnőtt csapattal készült. 2012 novemberében volt nevezve először a baszk csapat keretében. A LaLiga 15. fordulójában debütált az Celta Vigo ellen. A mérkőzés 33. percében Aritz Aduriz talált be. A fiatal játékos a 90. percben állt be Ander Herrera cseréjeként. A végeredmény 1-0 maradt a baszk csapat számára. Ernesto Valverde 2013-as érkezésével  alapember lett. Edzője bizalmát 2 góljával hálálta meg. A 2015–2016-os Európa-ligában a negyeddöntőig menetelt a csapatával.  Josep Guardiola is felfigyelt tehetségére, de maradt a baszk csapatnál.

2018 januárjában a Manchester Cityhez igazolt. Első manchesteri szezonjában 9 mérkőzésen játszott.

A válogatottban

Franciaország
Többszörös francia korosztályos válogatott. 2011-ben rész vett az U17-es labdarúgó-Európa-bajnokságon és az U17-es labdarúgó-világbajnokságon. A 2013-as U19-es labdarúgó-Európa-bajnokságon ezüstérmesként végzett a válogatottal és két mérkőzésen csapatkapitány is volt. 2015 októberében azt nyilatkozta, hogy ha nem került be a 2016-os labdarúgó-Európa-bajnokság francia keretébe, akkor lehetséges hogy Spanyolország nemzeti válogatottját fogja választani. 2016 augusztusában megkezdte a honosítási folyamatot, hogy országot váltson, ebben Julen Lopetegui is támogatta. Októberben meghívott kapott a francia felnőtt válogatottba, de pályára egyik mérkőzésen sem lépett.

Spanyolország
2021 májusában megkapta a spanyol állampolgárságot. Bekerült a 2020-as labdarúgó-Európa-bajnokságra készülő spanyol keretbe. Június 4-én be is mutatkozott Portugália ellen.

I will present a course development project that I performed during the fall of 2010 at Tekniska höskolan in Linköping. The goal was to promote training of higher order thinking skills in introductory courses in scientific computing, and thereby increase both the number of students passing the examination and the number of students with higher grades.
Inspired by so called constructive alginment, the approach was to align all parts of the courses in such a way that the requirements for each grade became clearer to the students. This required a comprehensive and thorough review of the courses, including learning objectives, assessments, course materials, and course outlines.
The new form was tested on different groups of students. On some of the courses there was an increase in the number of students passing the examination. On others, the increase was only marginal, and instead course evaluations showed a significant increase in popularity.

Waitrose to source 100% British lamb by 2021
26 November 2019 | by FarmingUK Team | Meat, News, Sheep, Supermarkets
Waitrose said it wants to 'support and invest in the future of British agriculture'
Waitrose has announced plans to reach 100 percent British-sourced across its own label of fresh and frozen lamb by 2021.
The retailer is set to source all of its own label lamb from British farmers by the summer of 2021.
All of the supermarket's fresh chicken, pork, beef, eggs and liquid milk is already sourced exclusively from the UK.
It previously sourced some of its lamb from New Zealand during the winter months.
But the move will see Waitrose extend its commitment to UK lamb producers, as it wants to focus its 'investment on the future of British agriculture'.
The supermarket will firstly be extending the opportunity to its existing lamb producers and by welcoming new ones into its supply chain.
Tor Harris, Head of Agriculture at Waitrose, said the supermarket chain is 'delighted' to be able to extend the strategy.
He said: "We are constantly looking at ways to innovate our product and are looking to partner with new lamb producers around Britain to ensure we continue to offer high quality lamb all year round."
NFU Cymru welcomed the announcement, saying it comes at a time of 'great uncertainty' for the UK sheep sector.
The union's Livestock Board Chairman, Wyn Evans said: "News that Waitrose will be moving to a year-round supply of Farm Assured quality Welsh and British lamb is a welcome boost.
"This is a really positive move from one of the major buyers of lamb in the UK which highlights that there is a strong appetite amongst consumers for Welsh and British lamb products.
"We look forward to working in partnership with Waitrose to help further grow sales of great tasting Welsh lamb."

Elevator Bars on Table Boxes?
I have window containing a Table Box. That Table Box displays a set of summary statistics relating to a data table that I select from a list of such tables, and contains as many rows as there are columns in my data table. I don't know in advance how many columns there are going to be in the data table, so I don't know how many rows my Table Box is going to need. This isn't a problem, as the Table Box simply expands or contracts to accommodate the number of rows it contains. However, I want to limit the number of rows to 20 (so that my window doesn't run off the bottom of the screen), and insert a vertical elevator bar to the right of the Table Box if it's needed - in the same way that such a bar will automatically appear on a List Box if the number of elements in the list exceeds the NLINES parameter.
Is this possible? I can't see any property of a Table Box that would enable me to do it directly, and I can't think of a way to surround the Table Box with some sort of frame to which an elevator bar could be attached.
Re: Elevator Bars on Table Boxes?
If your tablebox only has a few columns one idea would be to trick a listbox to look like a table box by inserting tabs. See a simple example below. I inserted a conditional egument for the number of tabs to get the impression of a justified table. (this could be improved and generalized, for example by using som regex loops that insert space to match up with longest word in the left column).
//Populate list, conditional number of tabs between columns.
And of course one nice little by-product of that would be the built-in ability to select one or more rows of the resulting summary table - which actually would be remarkably useful to me in the present context. I can infer however that there probably isn't an easier way of doing it, so for the time being I'll probably just put up with the indeterminate length of the table; nevertheless it looks like it could be worthwhile spending some time writing a general function to generate such a display from any given table box with any specified number of rows and columns. It may however have to wait until the Christmas break!

[Review] Tick Tock: A Tale For Two – Nintendo Switch
Written by Derek Wright
Developer: Other Tales Interactive
Publisher: Other Tales Interactive
Review code provided by Other Tales Interactive
Game studios are constantly pushing to find the next big thing in gaming. A large emphasis on this push involves multiplayer gaming on a large scale. MMORPGs and battle royals have become the norm with multiplayer gaming. The rise of games as a service has added to this as it's now possible to play the same game for many years, if you have an internet connection and a subscription.
Now we can remember this wasn't always the case with gaming. There was a time when multiplayer experiences meant you, and one friend, sitting in front of the same screen together. In modern times, we also understand it can be hard for friends to be in the same room together, let alone same town. Tick Tock by Other Tales Interactive wants to bring back those memories of working together with a friend, but with a twist.
In Tick Tock: A Tale for Two, you and a friend try to escape a bizarre world while also solving the mystery of the clock. The twist is that you must each have a copy of the game on your Switch, but you don't need to "play together". There is no online mode and there is no way to play on the same console. This game is an asynchronous multiplayer game that doesn't require an internet connection or any kind of tethering except for your voice. One player will choose the role of player 1 while the other will be player 2. From there, your adventure begins and you must now rely on each other completely to solve the mystery of Tick Tock.
Time Keeps on Slipping
Tick Tock is a point and click adventure/puzzle game, a genre that I am normally not the biggest fan of. The addition of multiplayer made the experience more enjoyable, but this is still an adventure game through and through. Players in the game must navigate a small village that is trapped inside a clock, moving between buildings, picking up clues and solving puzzles. With this being made with multiplayer in mind, each player receives half the puzzles and half the clues. Watching the trailer for this game gave me a small idea of this, but it wasn't until my wife and I sat down to play it that we realized just how important our dialog would be.
When starting the game, it urges you not to show your screen to the other player and instead talk out the situation. This was quite a challenge as I soon found out the way that I describe and see things was very different from my wife. We were able to find our way out of the clock and solve the mystery. Having our communication skills with each other grow was my biggest take from Tick Tock.
Time Heals All Wounds
One of my only complaints with the game is that some of the puzzles seemed obtuse or not very clear. One of the final puzzles in general felt like we were just using trial and error until we found the solution. I will give Tick Tock the benefit of the doubt and say we may have missed a vital piece of the puzzle that would have made the situation clear, but in reality, we were just guessing what the next piece of the sequence would be and writing down the order as we muddled it out.
The overarching story in Tick Tock has a feeling of sadness permeating from it. By the time you reach the end credits, that sadness is still there and maybe a bit of confusion as well. My wife and I had to talk over the events of what just happened to come to an understanding of the ending, which isn't bad as this game wants the players to have a constant dialog. We both just wanted more answers than what the game was giving us.
Time Waits for No One
I generally enjoyed the art style for Tick Tock which felt like an animated children's picture book. This could be chalked up to how some of the puzzles essentially have the player escaping memories within the clock. Whether this was how the developers intended for it to be or not, I found it to be interesting. A curious choice that I noticed is that there are no other humans in the game. Sometimes humanoid characters in adventure games can be odd looking or a bit more abstract. This could also have been a deliberate design choice to show the loneliness inside the clock.
The sound design was very minimal. I noticed music on the title screen and maybe the end credits, but nowhere else. It was an intriguing choice as it cements the feeling of being alone in the clock. You will hear ambient noises such as the wind rustling, the other clocks chirping, etc. It wasn't quiet, like in a horror game, which can instill fear. It felt more like sadness, like being alone.
No Time Like the Present
My wife and I played Tick Tock completely in handheld mode, as it felt more natural for this game, with the touch controls. They were much easier to use than using the buttons to mimic a mouse. On both systems, we did not run into any issues or hiccups in the game.
Tick Tock: A Tale for Two felt closer to an art exhibit or an indie film, something you must experience once. It will make you think, it may tug at your heart strings, and you may even suggest it to your friends because it is "something they need to experience". With that being said, video games are an art form, some more replayable than others and sadly, I feel there isn't much of a replay value. You could play as the opposite player, but if you still remember how to solve the puzzles, most of the challenge is gone, especially since it is a rather short game (a bit over two hours). Regardless, there is an interesting tale to tell, and I can recommend it. It was enjoyable, even for someone who doesn't really dabble in this type of game.
Intriguing Story
Some Clever Puzzles
Beautiful Artwork
Some Very Obtuse Puzzles
Very Short Experience
Low Replayability
If you are looking for a unique multiplayer experience, Tick Tock: A Tale for Two can offer something truly different. The briefness of the game and some odd puzzle designs keep it from truly timeless.

Entertainment / Entertainment News / Soho film fest to kick off with Filipino-directed Germany-based drama

Soho film fest to kick off with Filipino-directed Germany-based drama
Published October 11, 2020, 12:39 PM
by Robert Requintina
Filipino director Maria Diane Ventura's Deine Farbe will have its much-awaited U.S. premiere at this year's Soho International Film Festival. And it's not just as another face in the crowd, but as the opening film under the World Feature banner during opening night happening via livestream on October 15, Thursday, at 6:30pm EST.
Besting almost a hundred hopefuls for the inaugural honors, Ventura's interracial friendship drama is one of only two front-facers (the other being an American feature) during the festival's kick-off. After that, Deine Farbe will have two regular screenings: on October 15 at 12pm, and once more on October 22 at 11:45pm.
The SIFFNYC is a decorated independent film body with a pan-continental scope and a pledge to "[celebrate] cutting-edge digital technology while honoring traditional forms of storytelling."
Its expansive and discerning curation has made it a much-buzzed-about cinema gathering, with notables such as Octavia Spencer, Danny Aiello, Adam Brody, Pierce Brosnan, Joe Jonas, and Sean Young, among many others, being spotted in attendance.
Deine Farbe, Ventura's first international film feature, tells the story of small-town friends Karl (Jannik Schümann) and Albert (Nyamandi Adrian), whose attempts to bolt from their humdrum existence in search of greater things reveal differences deeper than what is readily apparent. It is not so much a cautionary tale of zeros vying to be heroes—or a pair of Icarus archetypes edging precariously near the sun—but a startling look at the wedge of ambition that can drive lifelong comrades apart.
Ventura's previous film Mulat—shot in four days while she was essentially still in film school—earned her accolades from International Film Festival Manhattan and World Cinema Brazil, among other esteemed bodies. She says, "I dream of making films in places whose cultures differ from my own. Ultimately, I want to prove that despite our fundamental differences, emotional experiences are universal." And she delivers on that goal with aplomb in Deine Farbe, which has also previously exhibited in Berlin and New Delhi.
The cultural journey of Deine Farbe is a curiosity that begs scrutiny: a Filipino-directed vehicle starring German actors, it was shot on location in the performers' native country, but also partly in vibrant Barcelona. It is a latent commentary not just on race or immigration, but also the great lengths people go to be heard and felt in the age of social media.
After a successful turn at Wim Wenders' fabled Hofer Filmtage in Germany, Deine Farbe's U.S. premiere via the Soho International Film Festival is surely an inspired and inspiring turn of events for the humble production. In a recent sit-down with legendary magazine NME, Ventura says she still very much identifies as an upstart, saying, "I'm just an independent filmmaker still trying to navigate her way into this world."
The anticipation surrounding Deine Farbe is much-deserved, and nods from around the globe abound: Best Woman Filmmaker and Best Feature for the Vegas Film Awards; Best Director and Best Actor at Calella Film Festival in Spain. Best Cinematography and Best Feature for the Canadian CinematographyAwards; Best Ensemble Cast for Couch Film Festival in Toronto; and a citation at Canada's Cyrus Film Festival.
The film has also secured official selection status and is set to be in competition in various territories: at Cardiff International Film Festival in the UK; Spanish film festival L'Hospitalet De Llobregat in Barcelona; the Lonely Wolf Film Festival and Gold Movie Awards in London; the Diorama International Film Festival in New Delhi, India; and the Geelong Underground Film Festival in Australia. In the U.S., celebrated cinema entities like the Los Angeles Lift-Off Film Festival, the New Filmmakers NY Festival, the New York Movie Awards, and Skiptown Playhouse International Film Festival also took notice. Technical honors at the European Cinematography Awards and the New York Cinematography Awards are also in the bag.
