Q: Drupal: How to add a form and perform functionality on it I am new to Drupal and trying to get hand on it.
I am not able to find how to have the following functionality on my site. If anyone can help me out, it would be great for me.
I need to have a form that will take 2 fields one of which is supposed to be the login id(how to retrive login id?). I need to store this and display in tabular form also on a new page. Lastly I want to provide an edit form for this functionality using the same form but its use will be like whenever a person adds value in this form, it checks in Table1, if entry is not present it adds in table, else it updates the table.
Apart from this I need to store all the updations in a seperate table or something like that, so that I am able to see the history of all the changes
Eg:
ADD Form:
Fields:
- LoginID
- Phone number
Show Table Page(Tabular with the stored information)
Edit Form(same as above form):
Fields:
- LoginID
- Phone number
Now If I add my phone number to this it will get stored. Later when I try to modify my number it should update in initial table but also store the history of old and new entry in a separate table so that I can perform varies options on it.
I also dont know how to add/enable form fields in drupal. :(
Thanks

A: I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but I think the Computed Field module might be helpful.  The module allows you to define custom hooks that run when a node is saved.
If you're not creating nodes and are using something like the Webform module, you should be able to write a module to process the data.

Sept. 6 (UPI) — It doesn't matter if you are in a wide receiver heavy league or you only need to start two players at the position, it is very important to have a reliable pass catcher in your lineup to start the 2018 fantasy football season.
Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins tops my Week 1 rankings at the position. Los Angeles Chargers star Keenan Allen, Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro Antonio Brown, New Orleans Saints target Michael Thomas and Green Bay Packers star Devante Adams round out my top five at the position this week.
If you started your draft running back heavy, you probably don't have any of those players as an option in your lineup. But fear not, there are many great options to open the 2018 season.
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is a great start this week and is my No. 2 player at the position for Week 1. Allen finished the 2017 season as the third-best wide receiver in fantasy football. He also made his first Pro Bowl after bringing in 102 receptions for 1,393 yards and six scores. I expect another strong year from the five-year veteran. Allen opens the season with a matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, a team that allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2017.
New Orleans Saints star Michael Thomas is my No. 4 option at wide receiver for Week 1. Thomas is also coming off of a huge 2017 campaign, but didn't reach the end zone as much as he should have. That should improve this season and I expect him to rebound early with a big day against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2017 and Thomas should be targeted regularly, especially in the red zone.
If you need help from a deeper target, don't shy away from starting Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson. I have Robinson ranked as my No. 24 option at the position, or as a low-end WR2 in deeper leagues. I expect plenty of targets from the former Jacksonville Jaguars playmaker. I also like that he is facing the Green Bay Packers, a team that allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2017. I also expect the Bears to be playing from behind here, which should improve Robinson's target number.
Will Fuller is always a home run threat and I expect Houston Texans gunslinger Deshaun Watson to look for him with regularity against the New England Patriots. Last season, the Patriots allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. With the Patriots focussing on Pro Bowl pass catcher DeAndre Hopkins, I expect Fuller to use his speed to burn defenders on a few deep routes. Fuller is my No, 35 option this week, making him a WR3 in deeper leagues.
Allen Hurns is another former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver that could be worth a shot in Week 1. The Dallas Cowboys pass catcher is one of the few veteran pass catchers available for Dak Prescott to open the season. He is also facing the Carolina Panthers, a team that allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers last season. Hurns is my No. 41 option and a fringe WR3 at best.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay is another dart throw for me in Week 1. I have him ranked just behind Hurns at No. 42. If you have to start Golladay, just know that the matchup is on your side. He is facing the New York Jets, a team that allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2017. I also expect the Lions and Jets to have a bit of a shootout, opening the door for Golladay to make some big plays.

Tories shy away from all-women shortlists
By George Jones, Political Editor
12:01AM BST 22 Aug 2006
David Cameron backed away yesterday from imposing all-women short lists on the Tory party, admitting that it would be a "step too far" in his effort to increase the number of female MPs.
Two women MPs warned the Conservative leader that all candidates should be selected on the basis of merit not their sex.
Nadine Dorries, who was elected for Mid Bedfordshire in May last year, said it filled her "with horror to think that, after the next election, people who meet me may think that I was selected in an undemocratic manner from an all-female short list".
Ann Widdecombe, a former minister and a long-standing opponent of women-only lists, said they would create two classes of women in Parliament: "Those who have beaten all the men in the normal way and those who have their paths artificially smoothed."
She said: "Every woman MP has to be able to look every male MP in the eye and know that she got there on the same basis as they did. Neither Margaret Thatcher nor I needed this kind of help to get into Parliament."
Tories toughen stance on A list
Cameron's A-list put to test
Apply for seats or face the axe, Cameron tells 'A list' high-fliers
Quota plan for more women Tory MPs
Tories reach the threshold for a win
Mr Cameron said there had been a significant increase in the number of women candidates but the party must go "further and faster" to fulfil his pledge to make its MPs more representative of the population. Under the latest changes, grassroots party members are to be denied the final say in choosing the candidate to fight the seat unless they adopt an all-woman short list.
Target-seat associations with fewer than 300 members will be expected to select their candidates through an American-style open primary contest which will allow non-party members a say. In larger associations the full membership will select a short list of four, of which at least two must be women. If there are only two on the short list, at least one must be female. The local executive board will make the final decision.
Labour used all-women lists in the 1990s to overcome the resistance of constituency parties in winnable seats to selecting women.
"The problem with all-women short lists is that you are really denying the ultimate choice to the constituency," Mr Cameron said.
The proportion of women on an expanded, 150-strong priority "A list", has increased from 50 per cent to nearly 60 per cent.
Mr Cameron said: "Without proper representation of women and black and ethnic minority candidates, we will miss out on huge amounts of talent."
Since Mr Cameron took over, seven of the 22 candidates selected (32 per cent) have been women, with two (nine per cent) from ethnic minority backgrounds.

Season 2 of You Is Coming to Netflix in December
By Emma Specter
Penn Badgley in season 1 of You.Photo: Courtesy of Netflix.
Fans of the Netflix series You will be getting a slightly late Christmas present on December 26, 2019, when the thriller's second season premieres on Netflix. The show's star, Penn Badgley, announced the series' premiere date along with an oh-so-mysterious teaser trailer:
https://twitter.com/PennBadgley/status/1193927360711712770?s=20
The teaser doesn't tell us much about the show's second season, but season one left off with plenty of questions to be answered. Badgley's character, a New York City bookstore manager named Joe Goldberg who ends up relentlessly stalking a love interest named Beck (Elizabeth Lail), found himself harassing, threatening, and doing much, much worse to anyone in his path, just to get to her.
Season two of You will feature brand-new character Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) as a new possible love interest for Badgley's character, but the more pressing question is how Joe will evolve as a human being in the brand-new milieu of Los Angeles. Given that a cross-coastal move doesn't seem like a bona fide way to reform a killer, we're not expecting a redemptive arc for Joe this season, but we'll just have to wait and see.
Badgley having his hands full with You is certainly exciting, but does it spell doom for anyone who was hoping the actor might find his way to the Gossip Girl revival coming to HBO Max, also starring Kristen Bell as the eponymous narrator? Badgley and his former costars Blake Lively and Leighton Meester have yet to comment on whether they'll rejoin the elite teen drama's cast, but for now, at least we know we can binge-watch Badgley as an unrepentant sociopath on You while we rest up for New Year's Eve.

Android Stagefright Exploit Released To The Public
By Lucian Armasu
Zimperium, the security company that initially found the vulnerabilities in Android's Stagefright media library, promised on August 5 that it would release an open source exploit for testing purposes. The company has now released the exploit in the wild to get Android OEMs to hurry up and deliver the patches to their devices, but also to allow other security experts to test whether their devices are still vulnerable.
Exploit in the wild
The publicly released exploit is not a "generic exploit," the company said, because it has only tested it on an older Nexus running Android 4.0.4. The Stagefright vulnerability used for the exploit has been neutered by Android 5.0's use of the GCC 5.0 compiler, which comes with integer overflow mitigation.
Zimperium's release of the exploit doesn't necessarily make it that much easier for attackers to exploit Stagefright, as other exploits have already been created that can even bypass Android's address space layout randomization (ASLR) protection, and there are likely to be more out there that we don't know about.
Upgrades still in poor shape
So far only Google (Nexus devices), Samsung, and LG have promised monthly security updates after the Stagefright vulnerabilities were first made public. However, a few other companies such as Motorola, HTC, Sony and others also started sending Stagefright patches for some of their devices.
The main problem here is that none of these companies are going to patch most of the exploitable devices, which includes all Android 2.3 devices and beyond, covering over 900 million smartphones and tablets. At best, the majority of the OEMs will upgrade their most popular devices from the past two years, and that's about it.
Because Google is not responsible with the updates for the Android ecosystem, that pits Android OEMs in a price race to the bottom, where the costs of developing new updates for smartphones gets discounted as unimportant, compared to other priorities such as using a better camera, processor or screen, or simply having a lower price than the competition. This situation may never be fixed by itself until Google takes the whole responsibility upon itself (and the OEMs allow it to do that).
Initial quick-fixes not enough
The Stagefright vulnerabilities were indeed a wake-up call for Google as well as some manufacturers but were unlikely to be big enough to make them consider a significantly improved upgrade system. After all, only three companies promised monthly security updates, and even they didn't say for how long that will be in place for certain devices, or whether all devices will be under the new update program.
Some apps such as Hangouts and Messenger have also been updated by Google to resist Stagefright exploits, considering the easiest way to attack a user is through an MMS or other video file sent to SMS or other messaging apps that have auto-retrieval of video files enabled.
However, this isn't the only way users can be attacked. They can also receive video files through the browser when visiting a website. Typically, the user would have to accept such a file, though, so the risk there is minimized.
Checking for Stagefright vulnerabilities
To check whether you're still vulnerable, you can use Zimperium's Detector app. The app now also checks against the bugs in the Stagefright library, which were unveiled shortly after the first Stagefright announcement was made by Exodus Intelligence. Patches for these latest bugs haven't been distributed to many devices yet, though, as they are set to arrive in the next batch of official upgrades from Android OEMs (which could be a few weeks for Google, LG and Samsung, or a few months for others).
Zimperium has also collaborated with Google to include the Detector app's logic into the Android Compatibility Test Suite (CST) to ensure that all new smartphones will be protected against these vulnerabilities.

That's the major problem with Google's android even with 3+ year old devices IOS. They just assume that you throw away your device and get a new one. That's why I am more inclined to buy that Windows OS devices (except phones) are more future proof as they are more diligent about patches and updates.
targetdrone
Say what you will about Microsoft and security, at least you don't need to buy new hardware each time Microsoft releases a security patch because OEMs don't want to write a new firmware for hardware older than 6 months.
Google really needs to crack down on the Android ecosystem by bypassing OEMs for OS updates, else fragmentation is only going to get worse, security is going to suffer severely. If Google doesn't get its act together Android might join Wang, Tandy, and Blackberry.
captaincharisma
LOL tell that to all the former windows supporters that got burned when MS didn't upgrade their phones to windows 8.
vulcangrey
My HTC ONE M9 on Sprit received the stagefright patch on Tuesday morning this week... And immediately afterward my screen won't turn off when idle... ever! I have to use the power button.
And also my phone won't connect to my car stereo correctly (touch screen on the Pioneer Appradio2 won't work in app mode)... Either Pioneer was exploiting the stagefright bug to make their touchscreen integration work over bluetooth... Or HTC messed up something else while they were fixing the stagefright bug!

There's a lot of negative hyperbole in this article, but that's unfortunately the standard we still have from gadget bloggers these days. The other day I skimmed through a story at iEngadget and the writer happily admitted that he always has a bias in favor Apple products, even when it doesn't make sense.
I agree that Google has to take full responsibility for Android. It's not working the way they're "selling" it today. I have a Note 4 and only received the 5.1.1 update yesterday because the network provider I have insists on keeping the right to alter Android, but they have no interest in maintaining the software after they've sold the phone, despite their customers betting on two year contracts with them.
Even the smallest Linux distribution on PC has timely updates for EVERYBODY, and they're doing that without getting paid for it.
Fix it Google! The time for bad excuses is over.

Does anyone with a prepaid or off-contract plan ever get updates?

Group of Kauai voters want to know AG's intentions for criminal prosecution of Rep. Tokioka
Representative James Tokioka will be arraigned on criminal charges of violating campaign spending laws in Honolulu on Monday. A number of voters from Kauai plan to be present in the courtroom.
Since Tokioka has agreed to a "no contest" plea, it is possible that the court may immediately move into the sentencing phase at the same hearing. This will depend in part on what arrangements (deal) the AG may have made with Tokioka, who is, of course, a state legislator with some power.
If the AG will support a deferred acceptance of his guilty plea, then voters, including those who filed the original complaint with the Campaign Spending Commission, would want to know the reasons for such an agreement.
According to their attorney Lance Collins, the Kauai Voters do not believe that Tokioka meets the criteria for deferred acceptance of his planned guilty plea. Without a deferred acceptance of his guilty plea, Tokioka would be barred from holding office for four years.
Collins expects to make a statement after Tokioka's arraignment at Honolulu District Court on Monday morning.
See: Tokioka to Apologize, Pay $1,000 for Hawaii Campaign Spending Violation (Civil Beat, 8/26/2015)
The Civil Beat story omits that Tokioka delayed filing accurate campaign spending reports throughout July and until after the conclusion of the primary election. The purpose of the filing deadline is that voters should understand the candidate's financing of his campaign before casting their vote.
Voters examining Tokioka's filing discovered that he had failed to disclose over $26,000 in contributions and in particular, allegedly omitted entirely the outcome of a $1,000 a person fundraiser at the home of the then president of the Hawaii Lodging and Tourism Association.
The Campaign Spending Commission worked to have Tokioka correct his filings, and usually, the error would have resulted in a token $50 fine. But in this instance, the Commission determined that Tokioka's error was not a simple or honest mistake, that his actions had criminal intent, and referred the matter to the Attorney General. The AG is prosecuting Tokioka.
The arraignment will be held at Honolulu District Court, Alakea St. 8:30 am, Courtroom 7C on Monday.
Tokioka has indicated he plans not to contest the prosecution and will admit responsibility.

Project: Kokon Dansetsu Ma(Project name: Kokon Dansetsu Ma)
Kokon Dansetsu Ma
Kokon Dansetsy Ma #2 is a live performance with a kinetic installation using handmade instruments which are controlled by motors and are designed following traditional Japanese aesthetics. This particular version of the performance was based on The Japanese concept of sawari (the beauty of imperfection) and it is focused on generative algorithms and live improvisation.
Process of making Kokon Dansetsu ma can be divided into three parts. The first one is about designing new instruments and exploring their individual possibilities in terms of sound. The main inspirations for this part are Terek Atoui's installation The Reverse Collection and Gorkem Sen Yaybahar. The design of the first instrument is a combination of a traditional Japanese three-stringed lute shamisen and a cello. The body of this instrument has two resonant holes instead of one, and goatskin stretched on top of it, so it can also be used as a percussion instrument. Sound-wise, it resembles a cello, since three (C; G;D) cello strings are used, and the sound has a middle eastern flavour to it as well. The second instrument is an interpretation of Terek Atoui's Pipe Koto which has had a high influence on this idea. Koto is one of the most popular Japanese string instruments and for this project, a modern version of this instrument is being built by using copper pipes as resonant bodies for each string (it has 5 strings in total). Two of those copper pipes are attached to the tum and frame drums via springs. The percussion section is added for creating a more interesting composition and range of sounds; three different size singing bowls and a handmade aluminum gong (75 cm diameter) are used. These instruments are atmospheric and they are not amplified, since both, gong and singing bowls, have a long-lasting and pervasive sound. The second stage of this project is about connecting all of these instruments to the sound installation. The main influences for this part are Chico Macmurtrie installation Robotic Church. Kokon Dansestsu Ma installation includes one step, twelve vibration motors connected to five different arduino's. Each Arduino is controlled by RTC (real-time clock) module. This entire mechanism is based on alarm clocks, and motors are triggered by a set time. All of the five arduinos are divided within instruments. For Pipe Koto two arduinos are being used. One of them has four vibration motors (two of them are connected to strings and the other two are connected to tum and frame drums). The second Arduino for Pipe Koto has one vibration motor that triggers copper pipe. Cello and shamisen hybrid has one smaller Arduino circuit with two vibration motors. Additionally, there is a ping-pong ball machine next to it which is programmed to automatically release ping-pong balls on the percussive part of the shamisen-cello instrument. This machine has a one stepper motor which is also controlled by a set time. The final two arduinos are used to control the percussion section. One of them has three vibration motors which are triggering three different size singing bowls. The final circuit has two vibration motors, both of which are connected to the gong. The third and the last stage is, by using this kinetic installation as a one, unified instrument to compose a generative piece that is up to eight minutes in length. This composition is based on ma philosophy, Japanese aesthetic categories like mono no aware, yugen, wabi-sabi and sawari, the contrast between the sound and silence, and exploring the differences between the Japanese and the Western approach to music. The main influences for this compositional part come from the works of Toru Takemitsu, Midori Takada, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Gaspar Claus, and Toshiro Mayuzumi. These artists were composing their pieces by following the aesthetics and traditions of the Japanese sound culture. Overall, the main outcome of the Kokon Dansetsu Ma project is to question tradition by trying to combine the past and the present/modernity and traditional elements together and discover differences between the Western and the Eastern approach to music.
This footage is of the second version of Kokon Dansetsu Ma - as a live improvisation between human and machine that was performed and filmed at Modular+ Gallery, Berlin, 2017.
Guoda Dirzyte : Maker and Composer
I am a composer, instrument maker, and sound nerd based in Glasgow, Scotland. I am making experimental music instruments since I was 14 (so over a decade now) and my love for instrument building over the years has grown into a love for music composition and audio engineering. The main influences behind my experimentations/creations are from ancient Asian and African instruments as well as modern makers such as Simonas Nekrosius, Johannes Bergman, Yuri Landman, and Tom Fox.

Q: cwd at root of git repo when executing git alias? I was writing a command to be able to compare a file to it's previous modification when I found out that the cwd is set to the root of the repo before execution of the alias.  This means a command like:
git diffprev path/filename.txt

will only work if path is relative to the git repo root.  If not, it will not find the filename.txt file, which is quite annoying.  Is there a way I can get around this problem?
Example alias:

Will show the root of repo and the files passed.

Response: It Is Not Time to Bomb North Korea It Is Not Time to Bomb North Korea...
It Is Not Time to Bomb North Korea
There's no reason to start a devastating war when nonmilitary options are working.
By Ruben Gallego, Ted Lieu
| January 10, 2018, 2:42 PM

Edward Luttwak, judging from his recent article in Foreign Policy, thinks a war between two nuclear-armed states is a good idea. He's wrong. In fact, nothing could be more ruinous to U.S. interests or more dangerous to America's friends than attacking North Korea.
You don't have to take our word for it. When we wrote to the Defense Department this fall to inquire about the risks that a military assault on North Korea would pose, they told us that a ground invasion would be necessary to destroy North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's nuclear sites and noted that the Seoul metropolitan area's 25 million inhabitants were well within range of North Korean artillery, rockets, and ballistic missiles. As if that weren't dire enough, the U.S. Congressional Research Service recently estimated that 300,000 people would be killed in the first few days of fighting.
Any attempt to destroy that arsenal would present him with a classic "use it or lose it" scenario, likely precipitating a nuclear exchange. Alternatively, Kim could choose to respond conventionally with thousands of rockets and artillery pieces, killing tens or hundreds of thousands of U.S., Japanese, and South Korean civilians and military personnel. In either scenario, we lose even if we "win" in a strictly military sense.
As with all nuclear deterrence campaigns, the only way to truly win is not to play.
Luttwak mentions hardening subway stations as a way to protect Seoul's citizens. Never mind that no amount of hardening could prevent the destruction of the city. Never mind that South Koreans would be joined in those makeshift shelters by thousands of American and third-country nationals living in Seoul. Never mind that the South would be under great pressure to escalate in the first hours of a conventional exchange.
Moreover, any escalation could — and probably would — draw a Chinese response. Peace on the Korean Peninsula and preserving a buffer between itself and a core U.S. ally remain paramount to the Chinese government, and we would be unwise to bet against China enforcing those interests.
Instead of contemplating military strikes, we should recognize that nonmilitary options for North Korea are real and working. South Korea has already broken with President Donald Trump's dangerous policy in the interest of negotiations over the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. This de-escalatory route should be pursued to the fullest extent possible.
Moving forward, we should support and empower the savvy U.S. foreign service officers and civil servants who are working to strangle the Kim regime's lifelines of money, oil, and contraband. We should name and shame Chinese banks that launder money for North Korean elites, designate them as in violation of U.S. sanctions, and cut them off from the global financial system. And we should continue working to split North Korea from a China that increasingly sees the Kim regime as damaging to its ambitions.
Most importantly, we should reinforce the defenses of our Asian allies as we work to build a unified global front against Kim's regime. Sanctions are effective only to the extent that they are enforced, and this kind of coordinated international action requires real diplomatic acumen — something the Trump administration has yet to demonstrate.
The bottom line is that hundreds of thousands of people will die within days of a U.S. attack on North Korea and millions more could perish in the war that will inevitably follow. President Trump owes it to our allies in the region and our troops on the ground to adopt a smarter, more cautious approach.

Why Are Japan and South Korea in a Trade Fight?


A new warning for marijuana smokers has come in from an international team of researchers: brush your teeth. Apparently, smoking the wacky tobacky increases a person's chances of developing gum disease. Researchers in the study said they suspected that marijuana was a risk factor for gum disease but were surprised to find such a strong link between the two.
The study involved 903 New Zealanders who are taking part in a longitudinal study that began in the early '70s. Study participants who were classified as heavy marijuana users - those who used marijuana at least 41 times a year between the ages of 18 and 32 - were found to be three times more likely to have signs of severe gum disease and 60 percent more likely to have milder forms of gum disease than non-users.
Head researcher W. Murray Thomson of the University of Otago in New Zealand said that the increased risk was not likely caused by the marijuana smoke coming into contact with the gums as it was inhaled, but was probably the result of toxins in the cannabis that were absorbed into the bloodstream through the lungs. It is likely that toxins in marijuana smoke inhibit the body's ability to fight off inflammation in the gums caused by the presence of bacteria, Thomson said.
Bruce Mirken, a spokesman for the Marijuana Policy Project, which seeks to legalize the use of marijuana, challenged the study's findings, saying that the researchers failed to look at the subjects' use of alcohol or other drugs, which he says are known risk factors for gum disease. He also said that the higher incidence of gum disease could have been due simply to poor brushing and flossing habits, not marijuana use.
Rather than claiming that their study demonstrated a causal relationship between marijuana use and gum disease, the researchers noted that their work suggests only an association. Dr. James Beck of the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry, who participated in the study, said he hopes that additional studies would be conducted to confirm the link.

Take on a spousal sprint in Surrey with the UK Wife Carrying Race
By Caroline King - March 4, 2018 Posted in : Alternative Sport, FEATURED-CONTENT

When: 8th April 2018, race begins at 10.30am
Where: The Nower, Dorking, Surrey
£: Entry costs £50. Competitors must be aged 18 years or over
The 11th UK Wife Carrying Race will take place in Dorking, Surrey, on Sunday 8th April.
The annual event has taken place in Surrey since 2008. The first race attracted just three competitors, but since then the event has grown in popularity, and now has about 50 couples taking part.
Unlike the Finnish World Championships, where pairs of carriers run against each other, the UK Wife Carrying Race sees all the couples run against each other in one wild mix of flailing arms and legs. The course for the UK race is not flat, so the carriers have to tote their 'wives' uphill to the half way point, before running back downhill to the finish line.
To make it even more challenging, hay bales are used to provide hurdles on both the outward and return legs and a ready supply of volunteers wait with water pistols and buckets of water, to soak the competitors as they near the finish. Spectators are encouraged to bring their own water pistols, to help out in the 'splash zone'.
The UK Wife Carrying Race has now seen all combinations of competitors. Men carrying women, a man carrying a man, and a woman carrying a woman. In 2013, the race welcomed a woman carrying a man for the first time, as the BBC's Stephanie McGovern carried Mike Bushell around the course.
There are various different carrying styles which competitors can use in the UK Wife Carrying Race. The piggyback (popular, but tiring and not very fast), the bridle carrying (almost impossible to keep up for long), the fireman (across the shoulders), and the shoulder ride (precarious but surprisingly swift).
The UK Wife Carrying Race will take place in Surrey.
Finally, there is the Estonian hold, where the 'wife' hangs upside down on the man's back with her legs over his shoulders. This is now the most popular hold used in the competition, as it is swift and relatively comfortable for both the carrier and the 'wife'.
In 2013, Steven Forster became the first wife carrier to complete the race using the 'Dorking hold'. This is effectively a reversed Estonian hold, also known as Wife Carrying position No. 69, winning himself and his wife a special bounty of £100 in the process.
The UK Wife Carrying Race is staged as part of the warm-up for a popular local half marathon, the Leith Hill Half Marathon, ensuring that there is a very good turnout of spectators. Some of the wife carriers – and their 'wives' – do the Wife Carrying Race and then run the half marathon.
This year, all finishers will receive a mini-keg of beer from the local Pilgrim Brewery, along with a medal and t-shirt; whilst the winners will receive a whole barrel of ale and a cash prize. Last placed competitors in the UK Wife Carrying Race will win a consolatory tin of dog food and a Pot Noodle, and the carrier of the heaviest 'wife' will receive a pound of sausages!

Includes that sister team in Glasgow who are near ready to leap over us into 3rd place in the league. Look at their stats...++ in goal average and a good regular win total.
Mmmm don't care about the Clan mate.
Guildford doing well, 2 up with 20 to play. 3rd in 3 for them as well.
Big win for the Yorks, sadly. Seem to be cementing a playoff spot.
Edit - You have to be kidding me.
It's 3-3?! That is ridiculous.
They're the best, just another example why.
Appear Guildford have managed to win on shots, but Cardiff have robbed a point from that one.
COR...we're playing them in the CUP as well.
Can you please predict Guildford to win by 4 clear goals on Thursday please?
My powers don't work when I do it on purpose, although I did almost kill Gary on page 26.
I know we all have our complaints with Panthers management, but please do not kill them Yotes.
Sounds on facebook and other forums that Byers skated over to the Flyers end of the ice after handshakes and during the post match presentations, ends up with a couple of fights so probably a few 1 match bans, but this is the dirtiest bit. Balmer holds the Flyer in place while Springer gives him a gloved punch. I think he/they might be in some DOPS trouble with this.
Looks like Barrasso will be elsewhere next season, refusing to commit either way so a shortlist is beginning to be drawn up.
Obviously has ideas above his station,what's Barrasso ever won as a coach ?
He's been an assistant,he's coached in Italy and done next to nothing to improve the Steelers this year.
I think he's got a nerve openly saying to Steelers he's waiting for something of much higher quality to come his way.
No wonder he was labelled rude and arrogant back in North America.
He's a very strage man 😂 cocky and confident and not afraid to show it! Guess that attitude got him to the top of his profession as a player. I wouldn't take him next year simply because I know he'd jump ship if a higher league came calling. Just like how we got him.
Given that he's a big name former NHLer, I find his coaching resume baffling - being a big name will get you those first few gigs in the NHL as an assistant / goalie coach or whatever he was, but it just looks like his trajectory has been has been directly down from there (arguably apart from his time at Steelers, as he said himself as he saw it as higher profile than Asiago).
Maybe he thinks that his name will get him a DEL job as his predecessor is over there, but as Iginla says its not like he's done anything on merit to warrant a bigger job.
From following Simms on twitter too I get the impression that the Steelers org aren't particularly sad to see him go - DS retweeted the story that TB was waiting on a better offer, and awhile ago replied to someone accusing him of meddling in steelers signings by saying words to the effect of 'but what if your coach doesn't want to get involved in recruitment?'. Don't think a non-recruiting coach is a viable for most clubs over here.
He won the Italian Cup & Alps League, he had a good pedigree.
Strangely Barrasso said he couldn't live without hockey,Europe was where he wanted to be,didn't want to be involved in recruitment and didn't want to go back to coach in North America.
Mmmm probably more like nobody wants to employ him back home across the pond.
Ooooh Clan win again tonight so Panthers are now down to 4th.
Not that it means much, but Clan claim the first conference title of the season. Needless to say, we won't be winning ours.
Not looking good for what?
Strachs or any improvement from the Neilson era.

Amy Klobuchar Jokes About Enjoying Salad With 'a Pinch of Dandruff' During Gridiron Dinner
By Gillian Edevane On 3/3/19 at 10:48 AM EST
U.S. Amy Klobuchar 2020 Election Abuse
During an appearance at a white-tie dinner in Washington D.C, Sen. Amy Klobuchar attempted to laugh off recent reports that she has mistreated staff in the past and once ate a salad with a comb, jokingly asking attendees: "How did everyone like the salad?"
"I thought it was okay, but it needed just a bit of scalp oil and a pinch of dandruff," the presidential hopeful riffed at the 134th Gridiron dinner at the Renaissance Washington Hotel, according to NPR. The event — which has faced criticism for encouraging reporters to hobnob with elected officials—brings together the media elite, politicians and officials for an evening of jokes and speeches.
Klobuchar's self-deprecating remarks referenced a widely-circulated report from The New York Times that cast scrutiny on her treatment of her staff. In addition to detailing allegations of career reprisal and claims that she fostered a hostile work environment, the report stated that the senator from Minnesota once asked an aide to wash a comb after she used it as a utensil when no fork was available.
Of her temper, Klobuchar joked that she was asked whether she cared to use a microphone while delivering her speech or if she preferred to yell. "I said microphone," she quipped.

The presidential hopeful also cracked a joke about her chances in the 2020 election: "I will win this election because I'm a woman and all the powerful people in the room told me it's a sure thing. What could possibly go wrong?"
The Times report was followed by articles from BuzzFeed and the local Minnesota paper Star Tribune, all of which noted that Klobuchar has among the highest rates of staff turnover in Congress and quoted former staffers claiming the politician cultivated a vitriolic atmosphere.
"You'd wake up to a string of four, five, six, seven, eight e-mails of increasing anger, with everybody copied," one former staffer told the Star Tribune. "It was, 'This is the worst thing I've ever seen. Naive. Stupid. Awful.' It was just this vitriol. You didn't wake up to it every single day, but it was enough that my stomach just clenched every morning the second I woke up."
Her self-effacing speech at the white-tie dinner came after a more somber statement to Star Tribune.
"I'm incredibly proud of the work our staff has done and I would not be here without amazing staff," Klobuchar said in the statement. "I know I can be tough, I know I can push people too hard, and I also know I can do better — and I will."

Popular turns of phrase coined by internet users in China have been banned from official documents in central Henan Province, it's been reported.
Words and phrases such as "diaosi", which translates to "underprivileged losers", or "nu han zi", meaning "tough women", and "xi da pu ben", signifying "news so exhilarating that everyone is celebrating and spreading it around the world", will also be banished from textbooks in the province, state-run China Daily newspaper reports. The directive takes effect from 1 April, it says.
The move seems to have split online opinion, with some 40% of users on Weibo, the Chinese micro-blogging platform, and WeChat, a popular instant messaging service, saying they support the regulation, a poll by China National Radio shows. One user says: "Internet phrases are not in line with the preciseness and strictness of official documents. It's inappropriate to insert them."
But another 40% oppose the new rule. A netizen nicknamed Milk argues: "Internet phrases reflect a certain era and its distinct culture. If they are not allowed to be used, how can future generations study our history?"


The dining car operates 'open seating' which means singles like me are encouraged to share tables for four which is fine. My companions opposite are a white woman from LA in her late twenties chaperoning a pretty but initially sullen six year old girl of a distinctly Amerindian cast. With her dark almond eyes and glossy hair she's a Disney Pocahontas who will grow up to be a stunner but at the moment she needs some coaxing to eat and sit properly. She warms up eventually – actually she eats a huge hot dog, some salad and half her mom's chicken – and I learn that her name's Esmeralda and they are traveling together to Tuscon so she can meet, for the first time, her father.

Developing Whanau Ora, a Ministerial Committee on Poverty and a new focus for Te Puni Kokiri are the centre-pieces of the National Party-Maori Party confidence and supply agreement.
It also allows the Maori Party to vote for legislation on a policy-by-policy basis, meaning it is free to oppose National's policy to partially sell state assets.
The announcement was made in Wellington this afternoon, and follows confidence and supply arrangements between National and Act, and National and United Future.
With the support of Act and United Future, the National-led coalition holds a majority of 61 seats in a 121-seat Parliament.
It does not need the Maori Party to form a Government, but the agreement gives National an extra buffer of three seats for confidence and supply.
Prime Minister John Key, in announcing the "Relationship Accord" and confidence and supply arrangement, said he looked forward to continuing to work constructively with the Maori Party.
The agreement means the Maori Party will support confidence and supply, but differs with the arrangements with Act and United Future in that the Maori Party is allowed to vote on a case-by-case basis.
In the Act and United Future agreements, those parties pledged support for National's post-election plan, including partial asset sales.
Co-leaders Pita Sharples and Tariana Turia will largely keep their ministerial portfolios.
Dr Sharples will be Minister for Maori Affairs, Associate Corrections and Associate Education, the same as in the previous term.

Mrs Turia will be Minister for Whanau Ora, Disability Issues, Associate Health and hold some responsibilities for social development.
She sheds the Community and Voluntary Sector portfolio.
The National-Maori Party agreement includes:
* Work to develop Whanau Ora, including a commissioning agency in the next 12 months
* A Ministerial Committee on Poverty chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Bill English, and deputy chaired by Mrs Turia
* A doubling of the rheumatic fever programme from $12m to $24m
* Progress iwi as housing providers through the Social Housing Unit
* Continuing the constitutional review
* Refocusing Te Puni Kokiri on Maori employment, training, housing and education outcomes
* Work on plain packaging for cigarettes
Dr Sharples said the Maori Pary's nationwide hui had progressed well and he looked forward to the coming term.
Mr Key said he had no problem working with Te Ururoa Flavell if he replaces Dr Sharples as co-leader of the party during the parliamentary term, but Mrs Turia said it was "highly likely" the co-leaders would remain in Parliament for the full term.
The agreement follows a similar one in 2008, which included an agreement to keep the Maori electoral seats without the consent of the Maori people, a review of the foreshore and seabed legislation - which was subsequently replaced - and work on the Maori Party's flagship programme Whanau Ora.
The man's death will be referred to the coroner.

Q: How to get typescript to realize that nested keyof fields match, when using a nested Pick? Right now I am writing a nested Pick type, and then using that type to declare a function's inputs and outputs.
I have the following generic Pick2 type, and two types A and B to demonstrate how it works:
type A = {
    foo: {
        baz: number
        qux: number
    }
    bar: {
        baz: number
        qux: number
    }
}

type B = {
    foo: {
        baz: string
        qux: string
    }
    bar: {
        baz: string
        qux: string
    }
}

type Pick2<T, K1 extends keyof T, K2 extends keyof T[K1]> = {
  [P1 in K1]: {
    [P2 in K2]: T[K1][P2];
  };
};
const a: Pick2<A, "foo", "baz"> = {foo: {baz: 8}} // a is strongly typed as {foo: {baz: number}}

This works, but when I try to declare the following function, I get an error:
declare function g<K1 extends keyof A, K2 extends keyof A[K1]>(input: Pick2<A, K1, K2> ): Pick2<B, K1, K2>;
//                                           Type 'keyof A[K1]' is not assignable to type 'keyof B[K1]'^^^

But it is! Type keyof A[K1] is the same as type keyof B[K1]! They're both "baz" | "qux"! How do I get typescript to realize this?
Here is a code playground link to mess around with the code.

Music to my (little) ears!
Many of us grew up singing "Itsy Bitsy Spider." But how many times did you sing the song before you actually knew what a waterspout was?
When I was little, I thought a waterspout was the faucet in the bathtub. My mother could never understand why I didn't want to get in the tub until the faucet was turned off–I was waiting for the spider to come tumbling out!
Singing songs with children provides a great opportunity to build vocabulary, and in many ways, music can act as a springboard to literacy. Singing can help children hear the smaller sounds that make up words — and this will help them sound out words when they start to read.
At the library, music and rhymes are a key component of our pre-school programming. You can also borrow a huge stack of kids music CDs from any of our branches — or stream music directly to your phone, tablet or computer using Hoopla, a free online service available through WPL!
Welcome to April, friends! You've probably heard that "April showers bring May flowers," and if you're at all like me, you are looking forward to the warmer weather and flowers May promises. However, that doesn't mean we can't enjoy those April showers!
This time of year can be a lot of fun, especially if you have little ones at home who are just learning to understand the cycle of the seasons.

It's been a busy I Love To Read Month here at Winnipeg Public Library. A highlight was the steady stream of children and their families who helped us celebrate Take Your Child to the Library Day on February 6th. On that one day we issued over 500 of our newly-designed children's library cards, nearly 900 of you took in one of the many concerts or puppet shows we had on offer, in addition to the hundreds smiling faces that participated at activity stations (hello photo booths!) we had set up at all 20 library branches. Thank you for joining us – we had a blast!
Then on February 9th the Millennium Library officially opened a very special travelling exhibit of wordless picture books presented by IBBY Italia – Silent Books: Final Destination Lampedusa. The exhibit runs in the Children's and Teen area from February 9 to March 12. And of course, throughout the month we've continued to offer our suite of quality early and family literacy programming. To find out about upcoming programs visit your local branch's page or check out our programming calendar for dates across the library system.
When we talk to the community about the importance of developing early literacy skills we often share picture books that we think are just great, but parents and caregivers we've got titles for you too. The books below are a snapshot from our collection of materials to help adults support children's growth as curious, confident and motivated readers.
For even more suggestions, or for help searching for the latest early literacy research on our EBSCO database, visit or phone your local branch or submit a question to our Ask Us! service. For more information about early childhood literacy, see our Early Literacy guide.
Newscasts around the world have been reporting the plight of refugees fleeing their homelands. These are touching stories of the dangers and challenges faced by families who are searching for a safe place to call home. As refugee families are being welcomed in Canada, there have also been many migrants arriving on the island of Lampedusa, Italy.
Winnipeg Public Library has been offered the unique opportunity to host the international travelling exhibit Silent Books: Final Destination Lampedusa. This collection of travelling books was created as a project by IBBY (International Board of Books for Young people), in response to the waves of refugees from Africa and the Middle East arriving on the Italian island of Lampedusa. The idea was launched in 2013 and included establishing the first library in Lampedusa for the use of local and immigrant children. Over one hundred books from twenty three countries have been gathered for the exhibit. The exhibit has travelled to cities around the world in Italy, Mexico, Austria, and is now in Canada having stops in Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto, Halifax and finally, Winnipeg.
Silent Books: Final Destination Lampedusa is motivated by IBBY's belief that every child has the right to become a reader. In choosing to highlight wordless books as the seed collection for the this library, IBBY has assured that reading these books will be accessible to all of the children who use the library without the barriers of age, individual reading skills, or diversity in language and culture.
Reading and sharing wordless books is a first step to becoming a life-long reader. They tell a story using the universal language of images and art rather than words. Wordless books can help develop confident readers by developing comprehension skills, learning how to construct a story, analysing the picture, reading and understanding the messages that are woven into the pages and also in developing the imagination. Enjoying wordless books with your children can be an adventure that will soar as far as your imagination takes you.
The exhibit runs at Millennium Library in the Children's and Teen area from February 9 to March 12.
Activities will run parallel to the exhibit where children can send a postcard to Lampedusa or create a wordless book of their own.

One snowy night, a fox loses its way, entering a village. Chased away by the grown ups, Fox takes shelter in a greenhouse. A little boy sees this from his window.

February is 'I Love to Read' Month, and Winnipeg Public Library is ready to help you celebrate!
Early experiences with books and language lay the foundation for success in learning to read. There are lots of fun and easy ways you can help build reading readiness, such as talking, singing, reading, writing and playing with your child. All of these activities help to develop language and literacy skills, and positive interactions with reading and books can ensure that your child sees reading as a fun and enjoyable activity. Winnipeg Public Library has the perfect event to help you encourage your family's love of literacy!
On Saturday, February 6, all of our twenty branches will be hosting Take Your Child to the Library Day!

Big feet…musical talent…dimples…these are all things you might inherit from your parents. But what if your parents are authors of a classic children's book series? Until recently, I didn't realize just how many series actually run in the family.
Take the Eastman family, for instance. P.D. Eastman was a protégé of Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss) — in fact, Eastman and Geisel were army buddies, having been assigned to the Signal Corps Film Unit together. Eastman went on to write many books for children in his own distinct style, under the Dr. Seuss brand of Random House, including a series of books about two loveable canines: Fred and Ted.
Eastman's son, Peter, took the helm as dad got older, and he has since written several more Fred and Ted stories…not to mention, he's also become an award-winning television director and animator.
Peggy Parish was known best for the children's book series and fictional character Amelia Bedelia. Amelia was, of course, extremely literal-minded, and as a household servant and cook, she got herself into all kinds of conundrums that left readers in stitches. Simple instructions to "run over the tablecloth with an iron," or to "serve coffee with porridge" were taken all too literally with hilarious results.
Stanley and Janice Berenstain started out their careers as a magazine cartoonist team. They published in The Saturday Evening Post, Colliers Magazine, McCall's, Good Housekeeping and many more focusing on humor about children and families. Since both of their sons were big Dr. Seuss fans, Stan and Jan decided to try their hands at creating a children's book, themselves — The Big Honey Hunt, published in 1962 with Dr. Seuss (aka Ted Seuss Geisel) as editor and publisher. Over two hundred Berenstain Bears books followed over the next forty three years until Stan's death in 2005.
Son Mike had become a children's book illustrator and author in the 1970s and joined with his parents in the 1980s on magazine work, moving to illustrating and co-writing Berenstain Bears books by 1992. After a long illness, Stan passed away in November 2005, at the age of eighty-two. Jan died in February 2012, at the age of eighty-eight. Mike continues to write and illustrate Berenstain Bears books on all sorts of subjects–everything from going for a ride on the train to the golden rule.
The Babar books began as a bedtime story Cécile de Brunhoff invented for their children when they were four and five years old. The boys liked the story of the little elephant who left the jungle for a city resembling Paris so much that they took it to their father, Jean de Brunhoff who was a painter, and asked him to illustrate it. He turned it into a picture book, with text, which was published by a family-run publishing house. After the first book Histoire de Babar (The Story of Babar), six more titles followed before Jean de Brunhoff died of tuberculosis at the age of 37.
Soon after the end of World War II, Jean's son Laurent, who had followed in his father's footsteps as a painter, began work on a Babar book of his own. He trained himself to draw elephants in strict accord with the style of his father, and consequently, many people did not notice any difference in authorship. Laurent has always been careful to emphasize that Babar was his father's creation (and to some extent his mother's) and that he continued the series largely as a way of keeping his father and his own childhood alive.
So if all you got from your parents was a peanut allergy and a knack for rolling your tongue, you might want to think about writing that children's book you've always wanted to write. You never know what kind of legacy it will bestow upon your own children!
A picture is worth a thousand words — or so the saying goes.
Photography has always had the ability to convey stories, but it seems as though in the modern era of Facebook, Flickr, Tumblr, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, (and the list goes on)….we've taken visual storytelling to a whole new level. Your niece's first ever snowman. Your best friend's failed attempt at lemon meringue pie. Your brother buried in sand up to his neck while on vacation in the Bahamas. Everyone's got a camera in their pocket, and even the smallest of moments are captured for everyone to see.
We're all a bit photography obsessed, which is why it's no surprise that the latest trend in children's picture books seems to be photography illustration. Sure, photographs have dominated the nonfiction scene for decades, but only recently has the art form moved into the world of fiction in a big way.
Check out these amazing picture books that feature real-world photography in very creative ways!
You may think you know what squirrels do all day…but Mr. Peanuts is no ordinary squirrel. Instead of climbing tress, he plays the piano. Instead of scurrying through the woods, he reads books; but everything is more fun with company, so Mr. Peanuts writes a letter to Cousin Squirrel and invites him for a visit! Featuring candid photographs of wild squirrels in handcrafted, homemade miniature settings.
What's a little piece of bread to do when he's feeling lonely? Find a friend, of course! And that's exactly what Peanut Butter tries to do. But sometimes friends are hard to come by, especially when Hamburger has to walk his (hot) dogs, Cupcake is too busy building castles in her sprinkle box, and Egg laughs so hard he starts to crack up! Does Peanut Butter have a soul mate? Young readers will know the answer long before Peanut Butter does and laugh along with each mismatched pairing.
Flo thinks the family's last vacation together was just grand. Her little brother, Wendell, thinks it was absolutely terrible. So, being the good big sister that she can sometimes be, Flo has agreed to take Wendell on his very own camping adventure. They're going to go canoeing, fishing, and hiking—well, as best they can in the comfort of their neighborhood. Wegman has become well known for his dog photography, and in this creative follow-up to Flo & Wendell, he starts with dogs and creates worlds around them.
Nancy knows she's forgotten something. Something important. When she tries to remember, she thinks of all kinds of other things instead. She remembers things she knows and things she doesn't quite know. She remembers things one way, then another. Sometimes she remembers with her ears or her stomach or even her heart. But Nancy knows she's still forgetting something. It's only when Nancy stops thinking altogether that she finally remembers the very important thing she's forgotten. Nancy Knows is the charming story of an elephant who remember lots of things, except the very thing she is trying to remember. Each spread of this whimsical picture book features fantastic miniature paper sculptures within expressive outlines of a puzzled elephant.

Here is a charming story, illustrated with exquisite, up-close photos, that will help young readers learn to swim—or try anything new.

December is a time of reflection. An opportunity to look back at the year that was. For some, it's a wake-up call. (Next year, I am definitely going to spend less time on Facebook, and more time drinking coffee with my friends.) For others, it's a time to be proud. (I can't believe I finally organized my closet!) And for book lovers, it's a chance to replenish that stack of books on your bedside table, and read the best of the best from the year past. Of course, if you're a book lover parent, like me, that means picture books. Here's a look at the best picture books of 2014, as chosen by your resident Children's Librarian, and bedtime book connoisseur. Be sure to check out these sure-fire hits!
You might think a book with no pictures seems boring and serious. Except . . . here's how books work. Everything written on the page has to be said by the person reading it aloud. Even if the words say . . .BLORK. Or BLUURF. Cleverly irreverent and irresistibly silly, The Book with No Pictures is one that kids will beg to hear again and again (and parents will be happy to oblige).

If you're reading this post the day it was posted, then you're reading it on Friday, September 12. This also just happens to be "Fall Story Time Registration Day" at all the libraries. If the Kentucky Derby is known as the "most exciting 2 minutes in all of Sport", then I think it's fair to say that "Fall Storytime Registration Day" is the "most exciting 30 minutes in all of public librarianship". At least it seems that way at our branch. Excited parents will often line up outside our library doors before we even open and make their way to our info desk in not quite a running gait but definitely more than a walking pace to make sure they are registered. Other parents wait at home with their fingers flexed waiting for the clock to flip from 9:59 am for them to press "send" on their smartphones. Our most popular programs seem to be Baby Rhyme Time, aimed for children anywhere from newborns to 2 years old, and Time for Twos, which is geared to children aged 2 to 3. For these programs, children and their caregivers sit in a semi-circle on comfy "floor chairs" that support their backs. The children usually sit in their caregiver's laps, but sometimes a wander around the story-time room is more interesting for them. Each week, following a theme, the leader will sing songs, introduce rhymes and stories and maybe even incorporate puppets! (Disclaimer: not every session may have puppets. Let's be reasonable here.) Our libraries also offer preschool story-times aimed at 3-5 year olds. Many libraries offer "family story times" that are open to caregivers and their children and aim to appeal to a wide age range.
The hope is that the caregivers will be given some ideas and inspiration to use at home with their children, and establish the roots of reading.
There are six early literacy skills that if learned early on will help create life-long readers.
Tell a Story! Learning to tell a story helps children develop thinking and comprehension skills.
Have Fun with Books! Children who enjoy books will want to learn to read.
Learn about Print! Being familiar with printed language helps children feel comfortable with books and understand that print is useful.
Learn about the Sounds of Speech! Being able to hear the small sounds in words helps children sound out printed words.
Learn your ABCs! Knowing the names and sounds of the letters helps children sound out printed words.
Learn your Words! Knowing many words helps children recognize printed words and understand what they read.
I say that "Fall Storytime Registration Day "is the most exciting 30 minutes in public librarianship" because the flurry usually dies down after the first half hour. But unlike the Kentucky Derby there are usually not as many fancy hats and we discourage the drinking of mint juleps before noon.
While some programs fill up immediately, there are other programs that still have space, depending on the program, the date/time and the location, so if you are interested in learning more about our fall story time offerings, please visit our website at http://www.winnipeg.ca/library or contact your local branch directly.
We hear from lots of parents, caregivers and educators who would like to share digital content with young children and want to know the best way to do it.
A key component? Sharing apps together. Research shows that parent-child interaction plays a huge role in a child's experience with an app. Make sure you take the time to experience an app with your child, just as you would sit down with a picture book.
It's also important to incorporate a variety of media in your child's experiences, just as you do in your child's diet. Picture books, oral stories, rhymes, songs and play are all an important part of your child's healthy development.
It's true, the experience of flipping through a physical book can never be fully replicated in the digital world. But in many ways, reading apps are complementary to physical books, and they offer interactive benefits that simply cannot be conveyed via black ink on white pages. Whether you are looking for games that reinforce retention and comprehension, content that encourages letter recognition, or next generation "choose your own adventure" stories, there are tons of apps out there that can foster the development of literacy skills!
Of course, in this swiftly changing tech obsessed era, it's tough to sort through which iPad apps are must-have. Not to worry. We've got you covered. Check out this list of nifty and distinctive reading apps to share with your kids.
Push the slider to snApp the correct halves of each animal together in order to launch these short, rhyming stories featuring Cuddly Cow, Diggity Dog, Gobbly Goat, Higgly Hen, Lucky Lamb or Portly Pig. Users may choose to read the stories alone, or have them read aloud; in the read aloud option text is highlighted as it is spoken. Includes music, animations, and silly sound effects that will intrigue even the youngest, who will easily intuit how to operate this app. Winner of the Editor's Choice Award from Children's Technology Review.
The Monster at the End of This Book….Starring Grover!
Grover narrates the book while kids are given the power, and the choice, to move the story forward by sabotaging his efforts to not turn the page. Grover's hilarious book-binding attempts bring an element of humour and playfulness to the more serious topic of facing fears, and provide an easy segue to more serious conversations between parents and children.

Hearing the story at different speeds encourages kids to record their own voices reading the story, an excellent activity for improving oral fluency and expression.
Based on the comic strip by Jason Shiga, Meanwhile is a choose-your-own-adventure app that puts kids in control of the storyline. They must decide the fate of Jimmy, a young boy who stumbles upon a scientist's lab where he must choose one of three objects: a mind-reading device, a time-travel machine, or the Killitron 3000 (we don't know what it is either!). Each path includes puzzles and clues, and while most lead to certain DOOM, one path will lead to SUCCESS. Kids will be hooked trying to find the right one!
A unique blend of animation and storytelling, readers follow the heartfelt journey of Mr. Morris Lessmore as a hurricane causes him to start a new life among a household of books. The animation is spectacular and engaging, but the heart of the app is in the story that unfolds. There are some interactive features and games interspersed among the sea of animation. Help the wind blow, make the books fly, play Pop Goes the Weasel on the piano, or create alphabet cereal messages.
Did you know that a bottle-nose dolphin has a brain bigger than a human? After using this app, your kid will be able to cite weird facts like this all day long. Brought to you by National Geographic, this app features obscure, yet interesting little nuggets of information about animals, the weather, outer space, geography, and science.

He had a terrible headache because of the natural havoc of the wedding of Angela Vicario. So he went into his mother bedroom to look after a couple of aspirins. There he told his mother that hi has a dream with birds, and she said that it was a good signal of healthy. After that he went downstairs and met Victoria Guzman, the cooker. Santiago has his breakfast. After that he went out. The bishop was passing by the port. It was almost 6 o'clock when he was in the street. In the town there was two men looking after Santiago to kill him, they were Pedro and Pablo Vicario twins. They were waiting for him almost 3 hours in Clotilde Armenta´s Store. They lost Santiago among the crowd, which wanted to see the bishop.
Flora Miguel, Santiago's girlfriend, invited him to have breakfast with her. He accepted and she said that he would be there a few minutes later. Margot heard what was going to happened to Santiago.

So he sent for his parents and his 2 young sisters.
Angela Vicario didn't want to marry him but the whole family wanted to marry her. So Bayardo began the arrangements for the wedding. He bought the house they were going to live together.

When the day came, she tried to do what her friends told her, but she couldn't do it well. Bayardo notices that she wasn't virgin. So he took her to his family. In the house her mother began to hit her. But she didn't tell anything. 3 hours later Bayardo left her. She said that Santiago was the first man.
