We are Bath!
The 'We are Bath' Team.
A group of BA (Hons) Media Communications students from Bath Spa University are inviting members of the public to share their stories, memories and experiences of Bath as part of an online sharing experience.
The 'We are Bath' Team.
We are Bath is an online platform and interactive map that will create a collage of the community's memories.
Residents are invited to submit their story in 200 words or less, attach a picture and answer these three simple questions:
1. Where is your favourite place in Bath?
2. Why is that your favourite place?
3. What memories does it hold for you?
Once a submission has been uploaded it will join other memories to form an online interactive map which visitors to the website can browse and share.
Explaining where the idea came from, third year BA (Hons) Media Communications student, Laura Davies said: "We were inspired by the existing community media projects that are currently out there and wanted to create something that would tell the story of the residents of Bath, in a visually exciting and interactive way."
The website is now open and can be accessed at http://wearebath.wix.com/wearebath. The closing date for submissions is Monday 15 May.
The project and its contents will be showcased later this year at the Museum of Bath at Work.
A video featuring the creators of We are Bath as well as various contributions from residents in Bath, can be viewed at https://www.dropbox.com/s/ynihezlekh8viu2/We%20Are%20Bath.mp4

As I sit here and write this, I'm in the hardest semester of my life. When I was applying to college, this was not what I imagined. This isn't what you see in the movies because this isn't pretty.
If I could give you a snapshot of what this semester looks like for me, it would be really late nights, staying up cramming, and really early mornings, heading off to a job in an elementary school that I pursued because of the hands-on experience it would give me. My days are spent busy, rushing and so many different assignments and places to be that my head is spinning most days.
I have had to say no to many things that are fun and exciting so that I can put school first. I currently am student teaching almost 50 second and third graders and my first few weeks, I walked out of the school in tears. I was so frustrated by my lack of classroom management and I was certain that I couldn't do this job.
But I want you to know something. You are worth it.
These late nights, the confusion over standards, how to work a smart board and how to explain non-Newtonian fluids to third graders who look at me like I have three heads, the tears, the days I walk out of the classroom, sweating and exhausted and completely unsure of my future, the mornings I wake up exhausted so I can put this job on my resume that I'll hand to your principal one day.... YOU ARE WORTH IT ALL.
While I have questioned my ability to be a good teacher, I have never questioned if you are worth the work or the stress.
I know I am pursuing a career that takes a lot and doesn't give much back. I know that I have been in college for almost 5 years now. It's taken a lot of time, money, energy and stress to get where I am. I know that my career won't pay much. I know that I'll have to bring my work home with me- whether it's your graded papers or the really heavy stuff you divulged to me about your home life.
I know that I'll have to have the terrifying conversations with your parents when you act out in class. I know that I will have early mornings and late nights, and be expected to come in every morning with a huge, silly smile on my face to greet you- no matter what I'm feeling inside. I know I'm entering a field where there is little appreciation, and many expectations. I know the pressure I face if you don't do well on your standardized tests.
I know that to have a classroom of 25 students is to have 25 little pieces of your heart, walking out and about in the world.
But you are worth it. I want this job because I want you to have a better life. I want to give you the information you need to be a person who makes great decisions, who makes this world a better place, who makes your life count. I want to encourage you every day that you make my life better and I love you. I want you to know that no matter what you say or do or how you act in my class, you will always have an someone (me) who is your cheerleader, who has your back, who believes in you.
I will put up with a thousand days of runny noses, germy desks, confused looks, temper tantrums, calling out, messy classrooms and wiggly teeth if it means that I get to make your life a little brighter.
We still have some time before I meet you, but I want you to know that I'm working really, really hard for you. I want to make sure I'm as prepared as I can possibly be so that you have the best time in my classroom, and that you're extra prepared to move on to the next grade.
Wherever you are, I am SO excited to meet you. We are going to be really good friends.

\section{Introduction}
\label{Intro}
At present, large diversity of materials with various exceptional properties provides wide range of both unique and multifunctional applications.
There are the materials which contain transition metals ($d-$elements), lanthanides, and actinides ($f$- and $d/f-$ elements) \cite{Khomskii:14_d-el, Martin-Ramos:18_Ln, Cotton:06_An}, either as regular atoms in periodic structures or impurities. Such materials are most challenging for their theoretical study.
Ytterbium trifluoride, YbF$_3$, one of such materials is widely used in fluoride glasses. For example, using a coating by YbF$_3$ film over the Eu-doped SnO$_2$ crystal, it is possible to modify its characteristics.
This coating plays a significant role in development of solar cells \cite{yue:17}.
In turn, one can improve characteristics of some other crystals by doping them with YbF$_3$: the fluoride-based ceramics such as CaF$_2$ are known as excellent optical conductors used in diode laser pumping \cite{carnall:66, vydrik:80,siebold:09}, however, doping the ceramics by YbF$_3$ (with minimal 3\% admixture) leads to superior mechanical properties of the ceramics \cite{akchurin:13}.
The addition of YbF$_3$ to calcium silicate cements leads to such changes in properties of the material that it becomes more suitable for dental applications \cite{antonijevic:15}.

Also new era in investigating  materials and defects containing heavy transition metals, lanthanides and actinides was opened due to impressive recent achievements in creating experimental facilities like X-ray free-electron lasers, synchrotrons \cite{Zubavichus:01rev, Chergui:16_StrDin}, etc., to study local atomic-scale electronic structures in materials.

However, theoretical possibilities in direct studying of electronic structures at atomic-scale and different physical-chemical properties including those concentrated on heavy atoms
\cite{Titov:14a, Skripnikov:15b, Lomachuk:13} are yet hampered by several challenges in quantum chemical description of such systems.
At first they require a simultaneous treatment of relativistic and correlation effects at a very high level.
Besides, polyvalent $d/f-$ elements often have pronounced multireference character and high density of low-lying electronic states.
As a result, opportunities for direct {\it ab~initio}\ study of materials containing $d/f-$ elements with required accuracy can be blocked by unacceptable computational costs (see analysis for ThO in \cite{Skripnikov:15a}).
An alternative way to explore such a material is to reduce its studying to a molecular-type problem for some of its fragment, assuming that relaxation of the rest of the crystal (environment of the fragment) in processes under consideration is negligible.
In this case one can consider influence of the environment on the fragment by some approximate {\it embedding potential} to improve the quality of description of phenomena localized on the fragment using extended possibilities of its studying by molecular methods.
Such a fragment with embedding potential is usually called the ``embedded cluster'' or ``cluster, embedded in a crystal''.

This work is devoted to theoretical modeling of ytterbium di- and tri-fluorides using compound-tunable embedding potential method described in work \cite{Maltsev:19a, Lomachuk:19a}.

\section{Method}

The two-component DFT method \cite{Wullen:10} with hybrid PBE0 \cite{Adamo:99} functional implemented in the {\sc crystal} code \cite{Dovesi:18} was used to carry out calculations of the electronic structure of the YbF$_{2}$ and YbF$_{3}$ crystals.
This code is well suited to study ionic-covalent structures, it allows us to use the same DFT PBE0 functional and basis sets, which are used in the cluster model calculations (see below).
So, one can directly juxtapose results of these calculations.
For simulation of the crystal structure, the basis set overflow arising in presence of diffuse orbitals can be significant, since relatively small atomic basis sets are used for such studies to avoid their linear dependence.
In turn, they can be well corrected in cluster calculations with {compound-tunable embedding potential} (CTEP) \cite{Lomachuk:19a, Maltsev:19a}.
The electronic properties of the Yb atom in YbF$_2$ and YbF$_3$ crystals are studied using the following cluster model.
The ytterbium atom is selected as the central atom of the cluster and is described using pseudopotentials with the large number of valence and subvalence electrons (explicitly accounted for in the calculations) and the corresponding basis sets. Its immediate environment consists of fluorine atoms, for which all electrons are treated explicitly with corresponding basis sets.
The combination of these Yb and F atoms will be called as the main-cluster.
The pseudopotentials for Yb and basis sets for all main-cluster atoms used in the cluster calculations are the same as those in the solid-state ones.

Note, that for simulation of a crystal fragment with central Yb and only nearest F atoms, the main cluster should have negative charge to reproduce the oxidation state of these atoms. The main-cluster environment have to compensate it by positive charges composing CTEP (and contributing to the extended cluster model). CTEP consists from the {\it nearest cationic environment} and the {\it nearest anionic environment}.

The {\it nearest cationic environment} (or NCE layer) of the cluster model consists of the ytterbrium cations, which are modeled by particular kind of the ``electron free'' semi-local pseudopotentials for Yb$^{+2}$ and Yb$^{+3}$ (corresponding to its oxidation state +2 and +3 in ytterbium di and trifluorides crystals), positive charges and the corresponding basis sets.
Note, that the set of NCE pseudopotentials (without Coulomb terms from their point charges) constitute the {\it short-range} part of CTEP.

The {\it nearest anionic environment} (or NAE layer) consists of the fluorine anions, which are modeled by just negative point charges without any semilocal part.

In the present work, values of these charges are obtained by minimizing
root mean square (RMS)
force $|f|$ acting on the atoms of the main cluster. This
RMS
force is calculated as
\begin{equation}
\label{eq:av_force}
|f| = \sqrt{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{N_{at}}\left(\nabla_i E)^2\right/N_{at}}
\end{equation}
$E$ is the total energy of the cluster, $N_{at}$ is the number of atoms in the main cluster ($N_{at}=9$ for YbF$_2$ and $N_{at}=10$ for YbF$_3$), and $\nabla_i$ is the gradient operator with respect to coordinates of $i$-th atom.

\section{Computational details}

All calculations were performed using DFT method with PBE0 functional. The solid-state and cluster calculations were performed with {\sc crystal-17} \cite{crystal:17} and relativistic molecular DFT \cite{Wullen:10} packages, respectively.

The relativistic pseudopotentials (PP) generated by our group \cite{Titov:99} for the Yb atom were used, namely 42ve-PP, 10ve-PP, and 11ve-PP.
The first one includes 28 electrons,
[Ar]3d$^{10}$, in the pseudopotential, and the remaining 42 electrons, 4s$^2$4p$^6$4d$^{10}$4f$^{14}$5s$^2$5p$^6$6s$^2$, are explicitly taken into account in the calculation.
Inclusion of the 4$f$ shells is important for accurate calculations of properties localized on an atom.
However, in this case, the PP has too many explicitly treated electrons, which leads to either a significant increase in the required computer resources or unstable solutions (especially in crystal calculations).

The 4$f$ shell in lanthanides is valence in terms of its energy but is localized in the outer-core spatial region.
Therefore, in cases where it is known for sure that the occupation number of the 4$f$ shell does not change, one can use 10ve-PP, in which 60 electrons,
[Kr]4d$^{10}$4f$^{14}$, are in the PP and 10 electrons, 5s$^2$5p$^6$6s$^2$, are outside.
In the cases where the 4$f$ shell (of trivalent Yb) has one electronic hole, we use the special hole-shape PP, or 11ve-PP, generated in this paper.
The 59 electrons,
[Kr]4d$^{10}$4f$^{13}$, are excluded from the following calculations with this PP and the 11 electrons, 5s$^2$5p$^6$6s$^2$5d$^1$, are considered
(PP was built for the generator state when one of the 4$f$-electrons was excited in the 5$d$ shell).
It is demonstrated below that such PPs work well when crystal geometry is optimized.

The basis sets, corresponding to these PPs are
(8,8,6,7)/[7,6,4,4]
for 42ve-PP,
(6,6,2,2)/[4,4,2,2]
for 10ve-PP,
(7,8,6,7)/[6,6,4,4]
for 11ve-PP.

The basis sets: (4,3,4,1)/[3,2,2,1] or (3,2,3,1)/[3,2,3,1] with the corresponding tuned 0ve-PPs for the Yb ``pseudoatoms'' treated as NCE layer were used in the cases of YbF$_2$ or YbF$_3$.

The fluorine atoms are treated at all-electron level, basis sets for them are taken from \cite{Peintinger:13}.

\section{Results and discussions}

\textbf{1. Periodic structure calculations}

The ytterbium(II) fluoride crystal belongs to the {\it Fm-3m} space group and consist of two non-equivalent atomic types: Yb and F \cite{Kompanichenko:10}.
The ytterbium(III) fluoride crystal belongs to {\it Pnma} space group and consist of three non-equivalent atomic types: Yb and two different F types \cite{Bukvetskii:77}.
Both atomic positions and cell parameters were optimized with only crystal symmetry group fixed (see Table \ref{table:crystall}).
\begin{table}[h!]
	\caption{Structural parameters of ytterbium di- and trifluoride crystals (in {{\AA}})}
	\label{table:crystall}
	\begin{tabular}{ccccc}
		\hline
		\hline
		Crystal & Cell parametres & Experiment & 10(11)ve-PP & \% \\
		\hline
		\hline
		YbF$_2$ {\it Fm-3m} & a=b=c & 5.608 \cite{Kompanichenko:10} & 5.532 & 1.3 \\
		\hline
		& a & 6.219 \cite{Bukvetskii:77} & 6.185 & 0.5 \\
		YbF$_3$ {\it Pnma} & b & 6.787 \cite{Bukvetskii:77} & 6.747 & 0.6 \\
		& c & 4.434 \cite{Bukvetskii:77} & 4.385 & 1.1 \\
		\hline
		\hline
	\end{tabular}
\end{table}
The YbF$_2$ crystal structure obtained using 10veP was close to the experimental one with the cell parameter error about 1.3\%.
The YbF$_3$ crystal structure obtained using 11veP was close to the experimental one with cell parameter error of 0.5-1.1\%.

As one can see from Table \ref{table:crystall}, parameters of the unit cells of crystals YbF$_2$ and YbF$_3$ obtained using 10ve-PP and 11ve-PP are in good agreement with experimental data \cite{Kompanichenko:10,Bukvetskii:77}.
This suggests that the constructed PPs adequately describe the electron density in these compounds.

Calculations of the crystals periodic structure structures with the use of the 42vePP are diverged.

\textbf{2. Cluster calculations}

YbF$_2$ is a high symmetry crystal, so that the process of cluster building is straightforward.
The main cluster consists of the Yb atom in the center and 8 F atoms as the nearest ones, which form a cube around (Figure \ref{fig:cluster_ybf} a).
The total formula is [YbF$_{8}$][Yb$_{12}$][F$_{48}$] (designated as YbF$_2$(cl)).

YbF$_3$ is a low symmetry crystal, and there is an uncertainty in building of the cluster model.
Each ytterbium atom in the YbF$_3$ crystal has 8 nearest fluorine atoms located at the distance of 2.222$\div$2.289{{\AA}}, but there is also the ninth F atom at the distance of 2.612{{\AA}} (Figure \ref{fig:cluster_ybf} b).
It is the nearest F atom to another Yb atom.
The study of the structure of this crystal was made in works \cite{Garashina:77,Garashina:80}.
The conclusion that this ninth F atom can not be considered the closest atom for the central Yb atom was done.
However, this distance is comparable to the sum of the covalent radii of ions (1.16 and 1.19{{\AA}} for Yb$^{+2}$ and F$^-$ respectively \cite{Shannon:76}), which means that this 9th F atom will affect the center Yb atom, so that for building of the Ytterbium-centered cluster we have to include this atom in the first coordination sphere and take into account in calculations explicitly.
Thus, the cluster for YbF$_3$ crystal has a form [YbF$_{9}$][Yb$_{12}$][F$_{65}$] (designated as YbF$_3$(cl)).

		cluster)}

	\label{fig:cluster_ybf}
\end{figure}

For each of the cluster with CTEP, the fractional charges on the NCE and NAE layers were optimized.
The position of all atoms was taken from crystalline calculations with 10ve-PP and 11ve-PP.
The resulting RMS forces are 2.2$\cdot$10$^{-5}$ a.u.\ for YbF$_2$(cl) and 2.5$\cdot$10$^{-3}$ a.u.\ for YbF$_3$(cl).

\textbf{3. Cluster optimization}

For a verification, positions of main cluster atoms were optimized under different conditions.
First, not only 10ve-PP on the ytterbium atom was used, but also 42ve-PP.
Secondly, the positions of the CTEP atoms were taken both from optimized crystal calculations (CTEP) and experimental data (CTEP-expgeom), but the charges were optimized in both cases.
The resulting displacements are given in Table~\ref{table:distort}.

\section{Conclusions}

Compound-tunable embedding potential method developed by us in \cite{Maltsev:19a, Lomachuk:19a} to describe electronic structure of fragments which may contain defects with $f-$elements is applied to crystals containing periodically arranged lanthanide atoms.
The YbF$_2$ and YbF$_3$ crystals are considered such that $4f$ shell is excluded from both the crystal and cluster stages of generating the CTEP to make calculations with {\sc crystal} code stable.
Typical DFT accuracy for such kind of crystals, within 0.03~{{\AA}} deviation from experimental interatomic distances, is attained.
Thus, 10ve ($5s^2 5p^6 6s^2$) and 11ve ($5s^2 5p^6 6s^2 5d^{1}$) large-core PPs for Yb, correspondingly, are applied describing core  [...] $4f^{14,13}$ shells implicitly.
At the two-component embedded cluster studies of the YbF$_{2,3}$ crystals we apply the small-core 42ve-RPP for Yb and, thus, all $4f$-electrons are treated explicitly.

Our results show applicability of the CTEP method to study local electronic structure and properties of crystals containing periodically arranged lanthanide atoms in the cases when direct treatment of them with using precise versions of small-core PP is embarrassing due to necessity of treating core electrons with spin-orbit effects taken into account and limitations with the basis set size in studying periodic systems.
First, as one can see from Table~\ref{table:distort} the Yb-F distances scales properly with changing the positions of CTEP atoms (that means transferability of CTEP, see lines in Table~\ref{table:distort} with CTEP-expgeom, corresponding the experimental position of CTEP atoms).
Second, the replacement of 10(11)ve-PPs by 42ve-PPs leads to up to two-time improvement of the Yb--F distances for the main-cluster atoms.
Third, in the embedded cluster model one can easily take into account spin-dependent effects with small-core PPs directly and increase basis set size as is done here.
Fourth, one can apply corrections on accurate wave-function studies (in progress).
At last, one can consider localized processes, oscillations and waves (electronic excitations, discrete breathers, molecular rotors, etc) which broken crystal symmetry that can not be easily done in periodic studies.

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F (180°C). Line a 12-cup cupcake pan with paper liners.
Whisk the all-purpose, spelt, and almond flours, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a small bowl. Add the sugar and scraped vanilla seeds to a large bowl. Grate the lemon zest directly into the sugar mixture and rub the zest and vanilla into the sugar until evenly distributed. Add the oil and whisk until the sugar is mixed throughout. Gradually add in the eggs one at a time and then pour in the maple syrup, vanilla extract, yogurt, and ricotta cheese and whisk to combine. Switch to a rubber spatula, add the flour mixture and chia seeds all at once and stir just until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared cupcake liners. If you have an ice cream scoop, use it to put two to three scoops of batter into each paper liner. The liners will be very full, but this will give the cakes their signature look when baked.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until slightly golden. Once the cakes are out of the oven, leave them to cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the pan.

Sam's hell in bug ambush
A SOLDIER spent three months in intensive care and needed 17 operations to save his life after being bitten by a killer spider,writes Robert Kellaway.
Lance Corporal Sammy O'Gorman's biggest fear during his tour was stepping on an improvised explosive device.
Instead, he nearly lost his leg due to the camel spider bite and at one point his wife Clare was told he might not survive the night.
It has taken Sammy, inset, three years to battle back to 70% fitness and he is now training to take part in a disabled triathlon.
The soldier, 28, was on a patrol in Iraq when he was bitten on the thigh by the spider.
The five-inch arachnid is not venomous but its bite is full of lethal bacteria from its diet of carrion.
Sammy, from Inverness, said: "I did not see the spider or feel the bite at the time.
"The medic at our forward operating base couldn't do anything for me and it was two weeks before a doctor took a look at it. But none of us knew what the real problem was."
Sammy's tour of Basra ended two weeks later in January 2009 and he returned to Germany with his regiment 4 SCOTS (The Highlanders).
He said: "I went straight to the medical centre and was white as a sheet.
"The infection was threatening to get a grip on my heart.
"They cut away infected muscle in my leg, I had 17 operations and I've got a divot in my left thigh."
The father of two girls aged four and six added: "It was the tropical medicine lab that came up with the answer."
Sammy is training with the Battle Back paratriathlon club and hopes to compete in the British national championships in May.
He has transferred to 3 SCOTS, The Black Watch, and gives talks to help soldiers look out for spiders and scorpions in Afghanistan.
The camel spider belongs to the Solifugae, a non-venomous order of arachnida that scavenges the desert floor, liquefying its food before ingesting it.
It is found in deserts all over the world and is also known as the sun spider and beard cutter.

Study says voluntary smallpox vaccination program may not be sufficient
Monday, August 11th 2003, 12:00 am
WASHINGTON (AP) _ Leaving smallpox vaccinations up to individual Americans could result in many more deaths in the event of terrorist attack, according to a study.
The result could be an increase of between 22 percent and 54 percent in mortality in case of a smallpox attack, according to a mathematical model developed by U.S. and Canadian researchers.
Currently the Bush administration has mandated smallpox vaccinations for 500,000 military personnel and is seeking voluntary vaccination of millions of medical and emergency personnel across the country, though the civilian program has lagged.
The research team led by Chris T. Bauch at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, used game theory to estimate the share of the general population that would seek vaccination under a voluntary program _ about 19 percent.
The findings are reported in Monday's online issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The team noted that vaccination campaigns have often met resistance from people concerned about side effects.
If the perceived threat of terrorism is low, the percentage of the population protected from the disease falls, creating a situation where it would be easier for an epidemic to spread.
``On the one hand, voluntary vaccination does not protect the public as it should. On the other hand, imposing mandatory vaccination to group-optimal levels arguably violates civil rights,'' the researchers concluded.
They recommended appeals to public spiritedness.
The result could be an increase

Alcalá de Henares, the city that saw the birth of Miguel de Cervantes in 1547, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO on December the 2nd, 1998. This acknowledgement does not only refer to the historical and artistic legacy of the city, but also to the significant contribution provided to universal culture, particularly during the 16th and 17th centuries. Alcalá de Henares is the first city in being designed and planned as a University City, and that design would serve as a model for foreign educative institutions in Europe and America.
The contribution of Alcalá de Henares to the intellectual development included the linguistic progress that took place in the city, especially concerning the Spanish language, and through the works of its most illustrious son, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, and his masterpiece, Don Quixote.
The major landmark and one of the great prides of the city is the Universidad Complutense, one of the oldest universities in the world. It was founded in 1293 and its campus is spread throughout the city.
The 5th Spanish Suzuki Guitar Workshop will take place at the Aula de Música, part of the University historical campus.

5 reasons to get excited about Texans training camp
HOUSTON – Football season is around the corner, and there is a lot to be excited about, starting with Texans training camp.
After a two-year absence, the camp is back in Houston, and there are five practices open to the public.
Tickets are free, but fans have to go to the Houston Texans website to register for a drawing for a chance to go to one of the practices on Aug. 1, 3, 10, 14 and 15.
Registration closes at 3 p.m. Thursday, and winners will be notified Friday.
The first practice starts Thursday morning, and the Texans have a few reasons to be excited for training camp (other than the upcoming kickoff of football season):
1) We already mentioned it, but it's so exciting it deserves a second mention: After two years in West Virginia, the Texans training camp is finally back in Houston.
2) The sweltering heat won't get our Texans down! The team plans to beat the summer heat with a Cold Recovery Zone or CRZ, which will be located by the fields. Players will be able to "walk right out of practice and into this CRZ, cool their temperatures down and aid in the recovery from the heat," according to Texans Chairman and CEO Cal McNair.
3) Many Texans are from around the nation, but this year, 10 of the Texans are actually Texan, seven of whom are from the greater Houston area, including Floyd Allen, Javi Edwards, Duke Ejiofor, D'Onta Foreman, Cullen Gillaspia, Charles Omenihu and Ira Savage-Lewis.
4) According to the website, the team has hosted at least one team under head coach Bill O'Brien, and in 2019, they will host the Detroit Lions on Aug. 14 and 15 – two of the open practices.
5) On top of getting to watch a practice, people who win tickets will also get a chance to get autographs from Texans players, TORO and cheerleaders. Fans will also get to participate in games, watch a live musical performance and enjoy food from local food trucks.
For more information about the Texans training camp and open practices, visit the Houston Texans website.

Q: Retrieve Array values from the Object When I do a console.log(item) to the item which i got received from a service it shows the following. It prints as a object and as i can understand it includes a array. How can I retrieve the "Generic" as the value. I am using typescript as the language.
 Object {results: Array(1)}
 results    :    Array(1)
 0    :    Object
 Value    :    "Generic"
 __metadata    :    Object
 __proto__    :    Object
 length    :    1
 __proto__    :    Array(0)
 __proto__    :    Object

I have used the stingify option and adding the output below
 {
        "results": [
            {
                "__metadata": {
                    "uri": "http://Test:30000/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/TemplatesModality('Generic')",
                    "type": "Microsoft.SharePoint.DataService.TemplatesModalityValue"
                },
                "Value": "Generic"
            }
        ]
    }

A: Super simple!
You are accessing the first item (0th in fact) hence:
results[0] is what you need

Q: Adding tables results in nested tables I am attempting to add consecutive tables to a word document from C# (VS 2013, .NET 4.5, Word 2013) and the code below nests the second table within the first table.  I am attempting to create distinct tables that are added between two bookmarks (I have tested this with a range defined as a single bookmark as well).
I own the code and source/destination document format, so i can make any changes as needed, however the content is all dynamic, so i can't just create a pre-defined bookmark for each table.
A subset of the code that is representative of my issue is below:
Word.Application oWord = new Word.Application();
Word.Document oTargetWordDoc = oWord.Documents.Open(WordTemplateFile);

object oBookmarkBegin = "bookmark_begin";
object oBookmarkEnd = "bookmark_end";

object oBookmarkBeginRange = oTargetWordDoc.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref oBookmarkBegin).Range.Start;
object oBookmarkEndRange = oTargetWordDoc.Bookmarks.get_Item(ref oBookmarkEnd).Range.Start;

Word.Range oRange = oTargetWordDoc.Range(ref oBookmarkBeginRange, ref oBookmarkEndRange);

Word.Table wtTable1 = oRange.Tables.Add(oRange, 1, 2);
wtTable1.Cell(1,1).Range.Text = "t1/r1/c1";
wtTable1.Cell(1,2).Range.Text = "t1/r1/c2";

Word.Table wtTable2 = oRange.Tables.Add(oRange, 1, 2);
wtTable2.Cell(1,1).Range.Text = "t2/r1/c1";
wtTable2.Cell(1,2).Range.Text = "t2/r1/c2";

// other goo/close/save/etc...

The output looks like this:
t1/r1/c1|t1/r1/c2
t2/r1/c1|t2/r1/c2| <-- nested within column 1 in the first table (notice trailing | marking beginning of first table's second column)

Clearly, I would like two distinct tables, without nesting, resulting in:
t1/r1/c1|t1/r1/c2
t2/r1/c1|t2/r1/c2

Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated!


2. BEGINNING THE OUTLINE: The part where the writer realizes he bit off more than he could chew.
4. REVIEWING THE OUTLINE A DAY LATER: The point at which the writer realizes he or she was a bit hasty and the story might be a little routine, lack sufficient development, and need just a tweak or two. The writer revises.
5. BEGINNING PAGES: The point at which the writer realizes he or she is a complete fraud, knows nothing about writing, and should be laughed at and chastised for even trying.
6. REOUTLINING: A laborious chore akin to torture during which everything the writer thought was working is thrown out and painstakingly replaced with much thought, self-doubt, struggle, stress, lost sleep and depression.
7. BEGINNING PAGES AGAIN: The point at which the writer now knows for certain he or she is a complete fraud, but by now has too much invested to turn back. A depressing journey into an awareness of one's limitations.
9. COMPLETING THE PAGES: Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, the writer picks up speed, gains greater stamina, writes more pages, and completes the first draft.
10. REVIEWING THE PAGES: The writer tosses out the third act, realizing that "picking up speed" might not be the best way to complete a script.
11. REWRITING THE THIRD ACT: The writer relaxes, starts rewriting the third act and realizes the problem with the third act is that the first two acts don't work. The writer tosses the entire script in the trash, prepares a noose, and – just before swinging – musters up the energy to start again.
Heh heh. Congratulations! You've just found the way to keep all the no-talent wannabes from cluttering up my reader's inbox — I'll just make them read this first! 😉 Thanks.
hmm. i just write off the top of my head and it comes out perfect. no outline, no rewrite, no problem. the method you describe seems like a lot of work and frustration to me. pass.
lol. but isn't that what every non-writer thinks about the process?
My problem is that I don't hit 4. I normally don't realize that I should have hit 4 until after I'm deeply ensconced in 11. And then I'm wishing I had hit 4 and think, like a fool. I could've avoided all the anguish and misery.
I think Alan is too SOBERBIO HIJO DE PUTA! What you wrote is great, the exact same thing happens to me.
Very, very funny…. and sadly true oftentimes as well. I always tell my screenwriting students at http://www.wordsmythe.ca that it's so important to take your writing seriously – but not TOO seriously!

Adrien Silva says he is looking forward to a 'great future' at the Club after the completion of his registration as a Leicester City player on New Year's Day.
Clearly, it has been a difficult four months for the central midfielder, but while he has been ineligible to play, his preparation for a maiden appearance in Leicester colours has not been affected.
Individual and group training sessions have been tailored to suit the 28-year-old, who has been faced with the task of building up a base level of fitness without being exposed to competitive matches.
The midfield has remained positive while building up his fitness.
"It's been very frustrating, but now the difficult times are past me and now I'm very happy to be close to my goal," Silva exclusively told LCFC TV. "I've been working hard every day to arrive at this moment and I'm in good shape.
"It's been very important to keep training because it's a long time not playing and of course I can work and train more than normal, but there is nothing better than the game.
The central midfielder has not let his early setbacks at the Club affect his mentality.
After training in a hotel gym for three weeks, Silva was eventually able to join in sessions with his team-mates and feature in several behind-closed-doors friendlies at Belvoir Drive to ensure that when the time comes, he is ready.
Upon entering the room to speak to LCFC TV, Silva has a beaming smile on his face. He sits down to discuss his start to life at Leicester City and despite the difficulties, he still exudes positivity.
Adrien Silva says his love for football has kept him on track.
"Of course, I have to stay positive," he continued. "In our job, when you have a period like this, it's very up and down.
Silva's English has noticeably advanced since he first arrived in Leicester. He believes his integration into the first team set up and daily interaction with his welcoming team-mates has aided him significantly.
The Portugal international is looking forward to facing some of the best players in the world.
"They've been great for me and they keep pushing to keep my mentality up," Silva said of his City colleagues. "They have been very important for me. I see a great future in front of us.
"It's my strength to have my family close to me also and when some periods are not very good like this one, it's very important.
The midfielder attempts to avoid a snowball from Riyad Mahrez during training at Belvoir Drive.
With a good understanding of what is expected having taken part in intensive training sessions on a day-to-day basis, Silva believes standards at the Club are high in every aspect – a factor that he is willing to equal.
He said: "We have so much quality here, not only in midfield, but everywhere. We have a strong team to do good things.
Adrien Silva is hoping to represent Portugal at the 2018 World Cup having won the European Championships in 2016.
Alongside establishing himself at Leicester City will be the challenge of breaking back into Fernando Santos' Portugal national team squad ahead of the 2018 World Cup Finals in Russia.
Silva is capped 20 times at senior international level and was part of the side that won the European Championships last summer. He is one of only two Foxes to have lifted the trophy, alongside former central midfielder Theo Zagorakis of Greece.
"The coach likes to get the players that play every week," said Silva. "It's normal that he thinks about the team for the best of the country. It's not individual.
Integration into the squad has been of great benefit to the midfielder.
For now, focus is on performing week in, week out for the Foxes and the opportunity to play in the Premier League – regarded as one of the most competitive and entertaining leagues in the world – is one that Silva feels he is well equipped for.
"It'll be a great feeling to play for this Club in this league," said the former Sporting Lisbon man. "It was a dream for me to come to this league, to be part of the best one and to be compete with all of the best players.
The former Sporting Lisbon man has spent the last few months training with the squad at Belvoir Drive.
Silva's desire to make his debut is matched by the Blue Army, who are no doubt looking forward to seeing just why City moved to secure his services in the summer. With the assistance of his team-mates, he is hoping to achieve something special for them.
"I have received a lot of messages on my Instagram, Facebook and social media accounts from the fans," added Silva.


Tea is an aromatic beverage commonly prepared by pouring hot or boiling water over cured leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. After water, tea is the most widely consumed beverage in the world. It has a cooling, slightly bitter, and astringent flavour that many people enjoy.
Tea originated in China as a medicinal drink. It was first introduced to Portuguese priests and merchants in China during the 16th century.Drinking tea became popular in Britain during the 17th century. The British introduced it to India, in order to compete with the Chinese monopoly on the product.
Tea has long been promoted for having a variety of positive health benefits. Recent studies suggest that green tea may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer, promote oral health, reduce blood pressure, help with weight control, improve antibacterial and antivirasic activity, provide protection from solar ultraviolet light, and increase bone mineral density. Green tea is also said to have "anti-fibrotic properties, and neuroprotective power." Additional research is needed to "fully understand its contributions to human health, and advise its regular consumption in Western diets."
Barrington Tea's organic black tea is 100 percent organic and is certified organic by the IMO and FDA. In keeping with our tradition of only offering a true organic tea to the consumer we only use staple free unbleached filter bag paper and use soy inks for printing. This tea is a full-bodied tea and can be enjoyed anytime.
