The kitchen table was where a young Shannon Pruitt, president of LA's The Story Lab, cooked up her first stories.
Her life and career since then has been nothing short of exceptional, and not only because we featured her on our women's leadership podcast.
Pruitt's career has spanned the TV worlds of Warner Bros. and 19 Entertainment, working for the likes of Simon Cowell and Mark Burnett before switching over to the Dentsu Aegis shop in 2014.
Sit in a room with her and there's a buzzing energy in the insights she discusses: she's the closest thing to a branded entertainment history buff. The Oregon native prides a small-town upbringing for the foundation that's helped her work with the likes of the new and old. Among those values: kindness and honesty, both of which she uses to connect to her employees and to those who need it more than most. It doesn't get more honest than Pruitt's work with the Angelman Syndrome Foundation — her young daughter has the rare genetic disorder.
Storytelling has been her passion from an early age, and when you spend your career around the world's best stories and storytellers, being named one of Southern California's top media execs seems more than natural — and makes it only natural for us to get Beyond the Brief with Shannon Pruitt.
What's your favorite campaign (that isn't yours) and why?
The recent American Family Insurance judo commercial. As someone who is passionate about brands telling stories that do not disrupt the consumer experience, this ad is truly content. It genuinely delivers what the brand stands for in a way that captivates from the beginning and taps into pure emotion and a message that is tied to what the product does and what life means when you start to plan and prepare for the future. It makes both a personal connection and is relevant to culture, and it moves me every time.
I love stories. Telling them, sharing them, using them to connect with clients, clients to connect with consumers, and for me to connect with my colleagues and constituents. I tend to be a storyteller in the way I communicate, so my passion and genuine love for the craft runs deep. I have the good fortune to lead and work with a group of people who feel the same. To spend time sharing and learning with them is a gift in my work that keeps me inspired, motivated and excited to go to The Story Lab every day.
Best moment in a client presentation? Worst moment? Funniest moment.
In a new business pitch to a very conservative company whose current campaign viscerally connected with me, the technology failed. I was on next and the unexpectedness rattled me. My script went out the window. I told the story of my young daughter who has a genetic syndrome called Angelman Syndrome. I began to cry and struggled to compose myself. I was embarrassed but shortly after, I got a note via Linkedin from the chief communications officer saying he appreciated my realness and my story. The moral being, always just be who you are and you can't go wrong.
The Golden Rule. "Treat others as you want to be treated." So simple, yet so powerful. Being able to put yourself in someone else's shoes teaches us in every way. The information we communicate, the information we receive, how we act and how we react. It teaches us to not lead with me, or our ego, but to really listen and understand what we need to say or what is being said, and when you work in storytelling, it is the thing that can bring you together or keep you far apart.
I am from Ashland, Oregon. A small town where California meets Oregon. A place of neighbors, friends and community. A place of Friday Night football games, and not doing something wrong when you are a teenager because your parents are bound to find out. It was where I learned about receiving kindness and that your circumstances don't define you. Families of all types come together and kindness from friends, teachers, coaches help you as if you were their own family, as you become who you are and who you will become. It is my foundation personally and professionally.
Where was the last place you traveled to? What did you learn from that trip?
I recently traveled to Cabo San Lucas with two wonderful women friends to celebrate one friend being cancer free for 25 years. As a mom, wife, career person, I rarely take time for myself without feeling guilty or self-indulgent. I cut short trips, modify "vacations" and bend to the responsibilities that haunt me from afar. So, I took a break. I read books, talked and laughed with my friends, and disconnected. It reminded me how important it is to reset and take time for myself. It makes me a better version of me in all parts of my life.


Thanks to the Infinity Foundation who recently approved a grant of $8000 to help with salary costs for our awesome Game Development Manager, Rob Tarr.
Congratulations to Reuben Paull, Mitch Coulthurst and Nathan Tamatea who will be travelling to Iran for the Asian Youth Championships.
Dominique Menoita and Holly Isherwood recently travelled to Australia to compete in the Queensland Beach Volleyball Championships and took out the U15 title. The pair competed against teams of three which is the standard format up to U15 in Australia.

Global justice for atrocities
A strong International Criminal Court
Thanks to the Rome Statute system of international justice, the world today stands better equipped than ever to investigate, prosecute and even prevent genocide. But governments must do much more to ensure the system functions effectively.
Genocide Awareness and Prevention Month is an important time to reflect on the growth of international justice and its role in preventing genocide. Let's take a quick look back at how the crime of genocide came to be included under the jurisdiction of the world's first permanent International Criminal Court (ICC) to better understand how states, civil society and every member of the international community can maximize the Rome Statute as a key tool in ending genocide.
Defining genocide
It was not until after the end of World War II (WWII) that the international community became fully aware of the scope of the mass atrocities that occurred at the hands of the Nazis. At the time, the elements of these crimes, including the way in which they were committed, did not quite fit what was described by any existing definition of international crimes.
To better describe and comprehend what was happening at the hands of the Nazis during WWII, as well as to address earlier episodes of mass killings, Polish-Jewish lawyer and activist Raphael Lemkin coined the concept of "genocide." The concept reflected a key difference in patterns of mass killings by setting apart the intent to systematically destroy a specific national, racial or religious group.
Lemkin's advocacy helped jumpstart discussions that would culminate in the 1948 United Nations (UN) Genocide Convention, which created an international legal culture recognizing the commission of genocide as a crime beyond any justification. Half-a-century later, and in large part responding to the ongoing perpetration of such heinous atrocities during conflicts in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia, the 1998 Rome Statute provided the tool that could finally make a shared international commitment against genocide possible in practice.
Genocide before the Rome Statute system
Despite the resolve of the international community in the immediate aftermath of WWII, the promise of "never again" soon dissolved with several instances of what did or could amount to genocide during the second-half of the 20th century.
Much of this can be traced to difficulties in grasping the complex nature of genocide and identifying it as it is happening. Denial by governments directly linked to widely recognized instances of genocide has similarly muddied the waters.
Beyond resistance to the definition itself, there has been a tendency to treat genocide as a politically-charged term given the Genocide Convention's call for international action, and sometimes military intervention, in response. For years, policymakers avoided committing themselves and their militaries to prevent or intervene in situations of genocide. Situations for which temporary UN and hybrid tribunals have been given jurisdiction over genocide occurred during this period of inaction, including the Cambodian Genocide, the Rwandan Genocide and the Bosnian Genocide.
It became clear from the patterns and frequency of genocide after WWII that a different set of tools was needed by the international community for an effective, shared response that could make genocide the "never again" crime that early advocates envisioned.
Genocide in the Rome Statute system
The 1998 Rome Statute and the ICC offer a permanent framework for states to investigate and prosecute genocide committed since 2002. If incorporated in its entirety into states' national laws, the Rome Statute provides a number of tools to ensure justice and accountability for genocide do not fall through the cracks.
As a court of last resort, the ICC gives its member states the lead in investigating and prosecuting core crimes, including genocide. Only when states are unwilling or unable to do so will the ICC actively step in. Without an enforcement arm of its own, the Court at that point relies on the Statute's cooperation model to maintain states' central role in responding to and preventing genocide.
The Rome Statute also provides an avenue to accountability through the UN Security Council (UNSC), but whether such an avenue is used to advance an end to impunity for genocide will depend on states' political will. If the UNSC finds a situation in a non-ICC member state's territory involves crimes defined in the Statute, the UNSC can give the ICC jurisdiction over the situation. It is similarly within the sphere of the UN's work to assist with funding and cooperation in the situations it refers, but it has yet to do so.
Jurisdiction for the 2010 ICC arrest warrant against Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, which gave the ICC its first genocide charges, comes from UNSC Resolution 1593. The March 2005 resolution, in referring a situation in the Darfur region of non-ICC member state Sudan to the ICC for investigation, cites the role of accountability in promoting healing, reconciliation and lasting peace after the Sudanese civil war.
The three counts of genocide alleged against al-Bashir? (1) Genocide by killing. (2) Genocide by causing serious bodily or mental harm. (3) Genocide by deliberately inflicting on each target group – here the perceived pro-rebel Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa groups – conditions of life calculated to bring about the group's physical destruction.
In 2016 the ICC Prosecutor announced a preliminary examination of a post-electoral situation in Gabon, based on a referral from the government alleging incitement to genocide. Preliminary examinations, as well as pubic statements by the Prosecutor on crimes taking place within the Rome Statute system, have emerged as powerful tools in putting states on notice that consequences will follow if such situations are not dealt with in a way that includes genuine accountability.
Fighting genocide today
Despite extraordinary progress through the Rome Statute system, much work remains to be done. Inaction by a number of ICC member states with opportunities to arrest al-Bashir in recent years ultimately highlights the ownership that the Rome Statute gives – and expects from – the entire international community, including the UNSC, in the fight against genocide.
And civil society has its own role to play making sure states succeed in this important mission for their, and ultimately all people.
Civil society groups have been important advocates for effective cooperation between the ICC, states and the UNSC to eradicate any lingering culture of impunity around genocide. Access to Sudan remains largely blocked for international actors, and political forces shield sitting heads-of-state from accountability. But whether by tracking al-Bashir's travels through states' territories, or holding diaspora rallies in the United States capital, groups like the International Justice Project and the Darfur Women Action Group are reminding states that they must carry the mantle in delivering justice and peace to victims of atrocities in Darfur.
The atrocity that is genocide might be comprehended through the history of its definition, describing what until the end of WWII – and in the period after – many could not, or still would not, name. Or perhaps the realities of genocide can only be appreciated through the recognized ongoing experiences of the Yazidis in Iraq, or the former UN chief's open concern for South Sudan at the end of his tenure.
To make good on our shared promise that this would never happen again, we must begin holding our governments to account for inaction in the Rome Statute system, often the only hope for survivors and would-be victims of genocide in a world held back by impunity.

Q: Cannot Validate Update for my App I have been working on an update for my app that I recently released to the iOS app store. In Xcode, validating and uploading my app worked fine when I first uploaded my app but now, as I am trying to update it, it does not seem to work. I have changed the Version Number and even the Build Number but this does not seem to work. My new app version on iTunes connect is in the "Prepare for Submission" state. When my app fails to validate in Xcode I get this:enter image description here
If anyone can help with this it would be much appreciated if you could post an answer.

Javi Gracia's Watford will welcome Premier League strugglers Fulham to Vicarage Road on Tuesday evening.
The Hornets remain in pursuit of Europa League qualification, and will be desperate for another three points to propel them further up the league standings and keep their faint dreams alive.
As for the visitors, their goal is clear - survive. Following Huddersfield Town's relegation on Saturday, Fulham simply cannot afford to drop points if they want to extend their stay in the top flight.
Defeat against Watford would confirm their return to the Championship, whilst a draw would leave them needing a miracle if they are to survive.
For Watford, left-back Jose Holebas was deemed only fit enough for a place on the bench in Saturday's loss to Manchester United, but could be reinstated to the starting lineup on Tuesday. Tom Cleverley remains unavailable as a result of a calf injury.
Fulham face the possibility of needing to score goals without Aleksandar Mitrovic who, alongside Tim Ream and Jean Michael Seri, missed out against Manchester City after returning from the international break unfit. Long-term absentees Alfie Mawson and Marcus Bettinelli remain sidelined through their respective knee injuries.
Watford Foster; Janmaat, Kabasele, Britos, Holebas; Hughes, Doucoure, Capoue, Pereyra; Deeney, Deulofeu.
Fulham Rico; Odoi, Chambers, Ream, Bryan; Zambo Aguissa, Seri, Cairney; Sessegnon, Babel, Schurrle.
Fulham need a win on Tuesday, but history is not on their side. The two teams have met on seven occasions, with the Cottagers emerging victorious just once, and that came back in 2005.
There has regularly been little to choose between the two sides, who have drawn four out of their seven matches. Their latest meeting came back in September 2018 and ended 1-1. A point on Tuesday will keep Fulham alive, but their poor goal difference will mean their relegation would be all but confirmed with just a draw.
The fixture list has not been kind to Watford in recent weeks, with the Hornets falling to defeats against Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United. However, Gracia's men were unlucky to be on the losing end at Old Trafford on Saturday, and they will be eager to put in a similar performance and send Fulham packing.
If you're a Fulham fan, you might want to skip ahead to the next section, as this part does not make for pretty reading for the Cottagers. Scott Parker's side are enduring a run of eight consecutive defeats and have won just once in 2019.
Since they last won, Fulham have conceded 19 goals and scored just four times. Yes, that run includes defeats to the likes of Liverpool and City, but points are vital at this stage of the season. Dropping a single point will likely prove fatal for Fulham, and they need to snap out of their funk as soon as possible if they are to survive in the top flight, but even that might not be enough.
Tuesday's match promises to be an exciting one. Watford need a win to keep their faint hopes of Europa League qualification alive, whilst Fulham need a win if they are to preserve their Premier League status.
As we so often see at this stage of the season, teams in a relegation battle can turn into 1970's Brazil in their search for a lifeline, but we have seen little from Fulham that suggests that they can survive in the Premier League. A shock is always possible, but it seems incredibly unlikely.
In 2019, Watford have lost just once against teams outside the top five, which does not bode well for the Cottagers. Huddersfield fell on Saturday, and Fulham are surely set to follow them down to the Championship.

Where Is 5/8 On A Tape Measure?
Are you a handyperson or homeowner measuring an object or surface? Fractions are tough to read than whole numbers in a tape measure. You're on the right page if you want to determine the mark for a specific portion, like 5/8. To help you, we've researched where to find this fraction on a tape measure.
The 5/8-inch mark lies between 1/2 and 3/4 inches. Likewise, it is the tenth line after every whole number mark. You can easily find it when the fraction increments or small ticks of your tape measure have labels.
Nothing is insignificant when measuring and reading accurately. Thus, we have a detailed discussion of locating fractions on a tape measure. We will also explore reading and hidden features of a tape measure and other related questions. So, stay tuned to learn more.
What Mark Is 5/8 On A Tape Measure?
Every whole number has 5/8 inches in the tape measure. You can find this fraction between 1/2 and 3/4 inches. When converted into decimals, it values 0.625 inches. It is also equivalent to 1.587 centimeters or 16 millimeters.
The size of 5/8 is less than one inch or even 3/4 inch. Despite that, it is a typical dimension in tiny objects, such as the diameter of plastic tubing or other circular materials.
Click here to see this tape measure with fractions on Amazon.
How Do You Use A Tape Measure Correctly?
Below is an overview of how to use a tape measure correctly.
Familiarize yourself with the parts, labels, and functions.
Determine which system to use.
Pull the tape until you reach the desired distance.
Keep it straight for accuracy.
Note or mark the reading.
Retract the blade into its housing gradually, so it will not recoil and hurt your finger.
Avoid bending the blade or dropping the case.
Where Should I Start Reading A Tape Measure?
The reading starts at one, even though the tape measure is at the edge of an object. Since this tool's first digit is zero, you must subtract an inch from your initial figures. Like other measuring devices, the logic behind this starting value is it allows you to measure dimensions that are less than one.
How To Read A Tape Measure?
Similar to a ruler, reading a tape measure typically kinds of measurement systems in a blade: metric and imperial. Regardless of the unit, it is a best practice to double-check the dimensions whenever you're measuring. This will prevent future headaches.
Metric Measurements
The metric system includes millimeters, centimeters, and meters, labeled as black numbers at the bottom of the blade. The tiniest ticks in this row are the millimeters, measuring 1/10 centimeter. In contrast, centimeters possess the largest ones.
For quick conversion, one centimeter has 10 millimeters, whereas every 100 centimeters marks one meter.
Imperial Measurements
Widely used in the US, the imperial system works in inches and feet. Usually, they appear in a red mark at the upper portion. These are typical units in the US. The longer ticks show one inch, while the shorter ones represent the fractions of an inch. In a foot, you have 12 inches.
If the reading is less than 1 inch, check the increment and combine those fractions. For a straightforward process, below is the sequence of the 15 fraction marks found between each whole number in inches. Tape measures with these labels also identify the half of each fraction.
Watch this clip to gain insight into reading a tape measure.
What Are The Hidden Features In A Tape Measure?
Besides the numbers across the tape or blade, there are also hidden features available in premium tape measure that might be helpful for your construction projects.
Whether made from metal or plastic, you draw a line using the blade of your tape measure. Turn it over for a straighter line. Meanwhile, the concave or curved blade is not a factory defect. Instead, it makes the markings stand out and reading much simpler.
Does your tape measure has black diamonds? They are present every 19 and 3/16 inches for a reason. Take advantage of these symbols to space your I-beam timber or engineered floor joists, like a pro builder.
Case Length
The actual case length is your ally if you want to measure a corner. Since most manufacturers label the casing, you don't need to bend your tape. Instead, you can easily add the printed measurement to the dimension you got from the blade.
Thumb Lock
For easy control, you can move the thumb lock to retract or extend the tape measure depending on your desired length. When in storage, you can lock it, so children cannot play with it.
Another handy feature is the belt clip. Like your car keys, you can hook this clip to your pants belt or pocket for easy access whenever you are on the go.
Usually, the end portion of a tape measure comes with a sliding hook. Even though it is loose or slightly moving, it ensures the accuracy of measurements.
The adjustable or wobbly end offers "true zero" whether you start from the inside or outside the surface. The hook also contains the nail grab and scribing tool.
Nail Grab
Some variants have a donut-shaped hole allowing you to secure it onto the head of the screw or nail–hence it is called nail grab. It is practical for measuring long surfaces single-handedly.
If you want to mark a dimension, place the pencil at your preferred point on the blade and glide it across the surface like a compass or ruler.
This is a serrated part at the tip of the hook. You can leave a mark using it if you measure points in series. Likewise, it is an excellent pair for cutters to divide wood boards or sheets perfectly and an alternative for pencil or chalk lines.
Framing Stud Hints
The simplest way to find and frame a stud is through a tape measure. Following standard intervals for studs, every 16-inch mark comes in red with a line with arrowheads to emphasize the stud location. Meanwhile, a few brands show the word "stud."
What Are The Factors To Consider When Selecting A Tape Measure?
Not all tape measures are equal, so here are a few factors when purchasing a new piece. Selecting the right one will last several decades in your toolbox.
Like other measuring tools, accuracy is crucial. It varies from Class 1 to 3, with 3 being the least accurate. You can check the class of your tape measure by searching for a Roman numeral label on the tape.
While 600 feet is the longest span for manual types, tape measures typically go from 12 to 25 feet. The length will depend on your use or purpose.
For instance, professionals opt for longer ones because of the surface types they handle. The regular span fits the demands of your household.
Meanwhile, the tape width also matters because it affects the readability of the marks.
Marking Quality
A high-quality tape measure will not readily fade or lose shape. Similarly, the ones with both imperial and metric readings offer great flexibility since countries differ in the adopted measurement systems.
If you're curious about the manufacturing year, you can look for the symbol with "M" and numbers. One way to find out the quality of your tape measure is through the testing body that certified it. A handful of producers, particularly in Europe, coded it as a four-digit number.
Tape measures are available in four types depending on the material: cloth, metallic, steel, and invar. Each has a distinct purpose. Thus, you must choose the best material that fits your tasks, whether for flat or sloped distances.
Since it is inevitable to drop your tape measure throughout its lifespan, plastic varieties can crack easily when dropped. In contrast, metal or rubberized housing options are more durable because they can absorb shock much better.
The top-notch brands of tape measures also offer several unique features. For instance, a larger standout enables you to extend the blade at a longer distance before it snaps.
You can also maximize its use if it has a protective blade coating. Other modern qualities are an auto-lock mechanism and magnetic hook strips.
The average price of a tape measure is around $10. Most homeowners or renters will only buy one tape measure in their lifetime.
While digital laser options are a convenient upgrade for large-scale projects, they cost between $14 and $21.
However, it has a more or less 1/8- or 0.12- inch deviation from the actual span. With the 2-in-1 versions, you can enjoy the benefits of both worlds for over $40.
Click here to see this digital laser tape measure on Amazon.
Which Type Is The Most Accurate Tape Measure?
Have you noticed an "EC" symbol in some varieties? Although non-compulsory, the European Commission [EC] released a classification system for validating tape measure accuracy with varying tolerances.
For example, here are the levels in tape lengths over 32.80 feet or 10 meters:
Class I: ± 0.04 inch or 1.10 millimeters
Class II: ± 0.09 inch or 2.30 millimeters
Class III: ± 0.18 inch or 4.60 millimeters
Find out if your tape measure is accurate by watching this video.
The 5/8-inch mark comes after 1/2 inches and before 3/4 inches. If the small ticks of your tape measure are unlabeled, count ten lines after every whole number mark to find it.
Reading this device can be puzzling at first, but eventually, you will master it if you know what the labels mean. Likewise, don't miss other features of this tool for efficient construction projects.

Q: Process large XML docs in memory I have a need to hold a very large number of XMLs in memory (most probably will use Oracle Coherence as distributed cache). The expectation is to hold in memory 100,000 XMLs. These XMLs are quite big - approx. 250KB each. These XMLs are requested by other systems - they ask for only part of the XML which is relevant to them. Additionally, they will ask to make changes to the content of the XMLs. The load will be about 300 such requests per minute, distributed more or less evenly between retrievals and updates. An important note is that the XMLs are not structured, so I won't have an XSD for them, but I do have the algorithm to extract and update the XMLs.
My question is what will yield better performance: Keeping the XMLs in memory as they are, and making all the extraction of data from them and the updates by using XQuery or even using coded procedures, or to transform the XMLs into objects, manipulate them in code, and then transform them back to XMLs when they are requested by other systems?

A: You have 100,000 docs a 250 KB. That makes approx. 24 GB of raw data. If you put that in memory and want to be able to process, filter or update it you will have and additional blow out factor of let's say 10. Then you end up in a desired memory capacity of 240 GB.
So, if you have enough memory available that is of course the best place to hold it. But you need to have a fallback strategy (What happens if the number of nodes grows out of memory?) and it becomes even more complicated if you don't want to loose updates: What happens if the machine failes? if you update in-memory: when do you flush out updates to disk? And there are even more things to think about.
Yet, to answer your second question: Transforming into objects or not? Most people are tempted to transfrom XML into objects using PHP, ruby, Java, ".NET" or the like and even to store XML in SQL databases. If you want to hear an honest answer: don't do it if you don't have plentiful of time and money to waste. Objects introduce a large overhead of additionally needed analysis, design, parsing, marshalling, testing, maintenance ... In fact, this removes the flexibility from XML completely and I see this constantly underestimated. From my experience working with XML and XQuery saves you around 80% on average for the things I've listed above.
Also, if you force flexible XML data into objects, you will face a nightmare if your data structures evolve.
You might want to check out 28msec's Scalable Database for flexible data which is a PAAS in the cloud. There you get everything you need out of the box (including loadbalancing, auto-recovery, persistence management, replication, backups, automatic failover, scaling in and out, elasticity, memory management, sharding, ...).
This is only my personal opinion, but maybe it contributes at least some more aspects to your problem solution.

A: My guess is that it will be faster in memory (if you have enough room).
But with all performance issues this is caviated with a big "it depends".  You need to profile the actual usages.

THEATER REVIEW | Sandbox Theatre's "War With The Newts": A darkly funny cautionary lizard tale
By Matthew A. Everett | May 20, 2015
Photo credit Richard Fleischman Photography
I had the pleasure of seeing the original War With The Newts back in 2007 when Sandbox Theatre first tackled the Karel Capek science fiction novel, so I knew this reimagined revival was also bound to be a lot of fun. In a way, Capek's tale is not your standard sci fi cautionary tale. Normally, you'd use the race of newts as a stand-in for human behavior and the audience would have just enough distance from themselves to be able to see the pitfalls of the newts' way of dealing with one another. Here though, the newts are addressing us in the audience as fellow newts, using human beings themselves as the cautionary tale, putting on masks in order to imitate human beings and just making the whole thing a lot harder to ignore as a straightforward indictment of human folly.
"No sensible man has any business going to Devil Bay."
Sandbox Theatre as a company has also been evolving over the eight years since this story last hit the stage, and it shows in this new improved version of War With The Newts. The Sandbox ensemble has their way of working down to a science at this point. That doesn't mean they don't have misfires, but by and large they generally hit their mark with each new creation. War With The Newts hits its mark in a big way. Its not just good solid storytelling, it gets under your skin and screws with your head as well. Even as you're laughing, you're also a little uneasy.
"See how it mocks God's creation."
Because let's be honest, newts rule the world in this story. Humanity is done. That's a creepy place for any story to start. Our newt narrators are telling us a story so the fate of newt society doesn't follow that of humanity down a path of exploitation, fear and greed to its ultimate destruction. The newts are taking their cue, oddly enough, from the pleas of the last human child Marenka (Evelyn Digirolamo). She urges the newts to keep telling the story of the rise of their race and the fall of humanity so that the newts have a chance to continue living in harmony and not to turn against one another and undo the new world they've built. Marenka's newt devotees keep her going as long as they can, then they take up her mantle to go on telling the story (as they do for us tonight).
"I leave all the cooking and cleaning to my house newt."
The bellicose Captain J. von Toch (Wade A. Vaughn) blunders his way into discovering the secret race of extra large newts, and realizes they can be used to go pearl diving. He takes this opportunity to shadowy unseen businessman Mr. Bondy (Gregory Parks) and his right hand man Pavondra (Kristina Fjellman), who see its potential and exploit it to the fullest. They keep their newt workforce a secret as long as they can, but thanks to a bumbling film crew, the newts are discovered and news of them spreads like wildfire through human society. Seeing another business opportunity, Bondy's company helps with the importing of newts as laborers. Some make their living as carnival freaks, some end up in zoos, some take jobs as servants in peoples homes. Once newts have infiltrated every corner of society, humanity's own worst instincts leave them wide open to a change in the balance of power in the quest for who will be in charge of the planet.
"You will work with us on the demolition of your world. Thank you."
I don't have any notes from that 2007 production but two things I still remember vividly are The Fat Lady (Heather Stone) and Andy Scheuchzer (Derek Lee Miller) the first newt who learns to talk, who both make return visits here. If anything, The Fat Lady is even more grotesque and unsettling that she was before. Not because of her enormous size, but because of her heartless exploitation of the newts—first as a carnival sideshow barker, then (I'm not kidding) running a slave auction.
"Life requires fight. Existence requires extinction."
In a ballsy move, Sandbox's new look for the newts is almost, but not quite, blackface. This is probably a generational thing (thank God). Younger theatergoers probably aren't going to have the same visual references in entertainment all these years after blackface has (rightfully) taken its place in the "what the hell were they thinking?!" junk heap of discarded and discredited ways of presenting race onstage. But the new look for Sandbox's newts—courtesy of costume designers Kathy Kohl and Mandi Johnson—is nearly jet black body suits and equally dark makeup with lighter accents around the edges. Everyone will, of course, bring their own personal baggage to the production. But it's hard to watch the fake commercial for Lux Newt Soap and not see an African American house maid, as the two human women talk about how she smells. It's (intentionally) repellant as an example of everyday prejudice and white privilege, and it's not the only instance of it in the play.
"You need no name, human. There are no others to confuse you."
As gross as the Fat Lady and her human compatriots can be, the ill-fated newt Andy is at the other end of the scale, being almost instantly lovable. Andy, in learning to speak, becomes an immediate fixation for the scientific community. He's the beginning of the end of our race, and the beginning of the rise of his own. Of course he doesn't know that. His wide open curiosity and eagerness to please are heartbreaking. Just like he was the first time around, Andy the newt ends up being the most human (in a good way) character in the show. If you don't feel for Andy and his plight, you should probably get your heart checked, to see if you still have one. Just like the commentary on racism, the sentimentality of Andy's story is played in such a way that the message is unmistakable, but you still don't feel like you're getting hit over the head with it. The whole of War With The Newts is like that, walking this really fine line in very dangerous territory. But if you're not telling a story in theater that scares you just a little bit, you're probably not pushing yourself hard enough.
"Newts have no instinct for storytelling. We quickly forget."
The actors are so thoroughly obscured by their newt-ishness, and the ensemble such a seamless unit, that it's hard to pick people out of a lineup even with the help of a program. For instance, I haven't yet mentioned Megan Campbell Lagas because she's listed merely as X. I'm sure she was just as vital a storyteller as the rest (everyone was constantly throwing themselves into the creation of this world from start to finish), but got less flashy obvious material to stick in my head. The cast is in newt mode from the moment the house opens, crawling around the stage and making noises, wandering into the theater seats and looking around, shadowing the (very good sport) ushers as they do their work getting the audience to their seats. And you don't get to see a human face in curtain calls, either. Newts they were at the start, newts they are when they bow.
"Some secrets float."
In fact, the only potential misstep I can see here is a revelation late in the game that a key figure isn't who we thought they were. While it's a nice surprise, I think it undercuts the main message, and in fact might reinforce a very unintended one. Rather than humans being their own worst enemy, it implies the notion, "see? if those 'others' get a foothold in our society, they'll take away everything we have." But with a tale this wild and funny and complex, strange ideas like that might be an inevitable hazard. Director Peter Heeringa, project leads Ryan Hill (also writer and mask maker) and Tim Donahue (also music director), assistant director/stage manager Kristin Ditmarson and the Sandbox ensemble are all trying to keep a lot of balls in the air here. It's impressive that they never seem to drop them (sometimes even when you wish they would).
"The burden of peace rests upon us all."
War With The Newts is partly about race, partly about how humans treat animals and the environment, and partly, of course, about war and peace. In many ways, it's an undisguised wake-up call. The fact that Sandbox Theatre is using their trademark subtlety in the service of not being subtle at all is an interesting mind bender. And maybe a sign that we all should be more worried than we currently are. Meanwhile, go see the newts in action. War With The Newts is a fun night at the theater. (Just be prepared to think you need to do something about it after it's over.)
5 stars – Very Highly Recommended

Christmas mash up
What do you get when you put a hip hop artist in a studio with a pop singer?
Janis Wallace, Special to Postmedia Network
More from Janis Wallace, Special to Postmedia Network
Published on: December 18, 2019 | Last Updated: December 18, 2019 6:06 PM EST
Musicians Casper Marcus and Julia Haggerty are two of the six local artists who recorded three original Christmas songs at The Labs, a public studio at the London Public Library's Central Branch. Photo taken in London on Dec. 11, 2019. (CHRIS MONTANINI, The Londoner)
Or a folk rock musician with a singer-songwriter who's a little bit country?
The London Music Office recently decided to find out, adding a dash of Christmas spirit for good measure.
Partnering with The Labs, the new creative hub on the second floor of the London Public Library's Central Branch, the London Music Office gave six local musicians all the tools they needed to collaborate on their own original Christmas songs, just in time for the holidays.
The results of two of those pairings have already been released online. Julia Haggarty and Charlie Weber recorded a song called Don't Tell Me It's Christmas and Casper Marcus and Saveria D'Ippolito teamed up on a track named Christmas On Its Way. Each song was co-written by its respective partners and produced by Alex Emrich.
"I love collaborating," said Haggarty. "It's what draws me to what I do now, working with people."
Her collaboration with Marcus on Get Up, a song inspired by the JUNO exchange program for a school in Mississauga earlier this year, was a catalyst for the Christmas project.
London Music Office administrator, Cory Crossman, paired Marcus up with D'Ippolito this time. The pair previously performed together at the Forest City London Music Awards.
Although they represent different genres, "we clicked so well," Marcus said, adding that hip hop has a history of cross-genre collaboration starting with rock acts such as AC/DC and Aerosmith.
"A holiday song is the next step. We're two different worlds, but we didn't force anything. (D'Ippolito) had the initial idea of Christmas On Its Way. I added the beats. We collaborated on the lyrics. It was a lot of fun. It's a holiday classic with a twist."
D'Ippolito posted about the experience on Facebook.
"While experimenting on the piano, I came up with a simple chord progression followed by the vocal melodies that starts off the song," she wrote. "We knew we wanted to write a song that would express the joys of the holidays, but we wanted to be realistic and shed light on struggles during Christmas for some, if not most of us."

Although the songs will fit nicely into Christmas playlists over the next week or two, the recordings were actually done in August when Christmas seemed as far away as the North Pole. Marcus said he binge-watched Christmas movies the night before meeting with D'Ippolito to write and record, and Haggarty made a similar attempt to get into the Christmas spirit four months early.
"It was a lot easier than I thought it would be," she said. "We (Weber and Haggarty) had never worked together before. He walked in with an almost punk (rock) attitude and said, 'Don't tell me it's Christmas.' That was different, like a challenge. The rest flowed so nicely."
"With her sense of sentimentality and twangy charm, I think we created a Christmas song that not only pays homage to wartime era songs but also brings something new to the table," Weber said on social media.
The Labs at London Public Library was launched in September 2018. The space features multimedia tools for audio and video recording and editing, photography, robotics, 3D printing, and some lower-tech tools such as sewing machines. A small recording studio allows anyone to record their own music for free.
"It's a good quality space," Haggarty said. "Everything is there that you need at a high quality. You can make records that compete with anything on the radio."
Emrich, the producer, received plenty of recognition from the artists who took part in the Christmas project, including Marcus.
"(He) brought our vision to life and we were able to effectively prepare a terrific piece of artwork to accompany the single. With the accompanying music video … I strongly believe with the help of our amazing team, this project will be well received as a London holiday classic."
Haggarty thinks her collaboration with Weber also will stand the test of time.
"It has enough bones and meat to become a classic," she said. "That would be a huge blessing."

Quiz: How Much Do You Remember About Moesha?: HowStuffWorks
How Much Do You Remember About Moesha?
By: Torrance Grey
Image: UPN
"Mo- to the, E- to the, Mo- to the, E- to the. MOESHA!" If you were a fan of the 1990s, there's a big chance you were watching Moesha. Appearing on UPN for five years, this sitcom had a lot of memorable faces and moments. How well do you remember the show?
Moesha premiered in 1996 on UPN. The series followed a young African-American teen who was dealing with the regular, everyday issues of growing up. Through its five-year run, the series had six successful seasons with 127 episodes. It would go on to be one of the network's best performing TV shows.
The sitcom was also able to perform well because of the actors. Moesha starred the R&B singer Brandy, as well as Countess Vaughn and William Allen Young. With the success of the character Kim, played by Countess Vaughn, the show even sparked a UPN spin-off, The Parkers. Many characters from the world of Moesha would go on to make guest appearances in this sitcom as well.
Moesha definitely made a mark in '90s TV but how much of it do you remember? Where did Moesha and her friends like to hang out? What did Frank do for a living? Brandy's real-life brother, Ray J, played what character in the series? If you can answer these questions, you're ready!
Who's ready for a blast from the past with Moesha? Can you remember all there is to know about this TV show? Let's find out!
On what network did "Moesha" air?
"Moesha" was the first real hit for the young United Paramount Network. CBS had originally intended to air it, but did not, and UPN was able to pick it up.
Who played Moesha, the teenage protagonist?
Brandy brought her radiant smile and infectious energy to the show. She's equally well known for her singing career.
What was (and still is) Brandy's last name?
Originally, she was listed as "Brandy Norwood" in the opening credits. Later, a more sophisticated credits sequence listed her solely by her stage name.
Where is Moesha's mother for the entirety of the show?
A mental institution
We never learn this.
Moesha's mother has died before the series starts. Early on, she has to balance loyalty to her mother's memory with her increasing affection for her new stepmother.
What is Moesha's father's name?
Frank Mitchell was played by William Allen Young. He kept a close eye on his teenage daughter -- especially given how popular she was with boys.
What does Frank Mitchell do for a living?
He's a cook.
He's a police officer.
He's a parole officer.
He sells cars.
Frank sold Saturns, a type of car that was very popular in the 1990s. Later, Frank owned the dealership.
Where in Los Angeles did the Mitchell family live?
Leimert Park
Leimert Park is a predominantly African-American neighborhood near the better-known Baldwin Hills. The area was heavily Japanese before black families began moving in.
What domestic issue was Moesha dealing with as the series began?
Her younger brother is ill.
Her father is ill.
Her father's marriage
The Mitchells are losing their house.
Studios want more than "teenager deals with high school life" for a series story arc, so there's usually some kind of "hook" involved. Frank's remarriage provided the initial tension for "Moesha."
What year did "Moesha" debut?
"Moesha" first aired in January 1996. The show featured a lot of colorful 1990s fashion.
Why did Moesha resent her father marrying Dee?
She thought Dee was after her father's money.
She wanted to run the household herself.
She had another girlfriend in mind for Frank.
Dee was her high school's vice-principal.
Dee, played by Sheryl Lee Ralph, was second-in-command at Moesha's school. This added an extra layer of tension to the new household arrangements, as if adjusting to a new step-parent isn't hard enough.
Where was Dee from?
Dee is from the island nation of Jamaica. The actress who played her, Sheryl Lee Ralph, is American, born in Connecticut.
What was the name of Moesha's younger brother?
Myles was played by Marcus T. Paulk. He evolved from the classic "annoying younger brother" to a more nuanced character.
Which of these is NOT the name of one of Moesha's school friends?
Niecy
The core group in the early seasons was Moesha, Kim and Niecy. Plus Hakeem, the classic "close friend with a crush" character.
What did Moesha get in trouble for in Season Two's episode "Cold Busted"?
Allowing Q in her room
Driving without a license
Smoking marijuana
Actually, it was Quinton who sneaked up to Mo's room when she went to get some CDs. But she didn't make him leave, and as soon as he started kissing her, on cue -- Frank and Dee walked in on them.
Where did the teenagers like to hang out?
The Bronze
The Peach Pit
McLaren's
Every teen show has to have a place where the kids spend time outside of school and home. On "Moesha," this was "The Den."
What is the name of the older mentor figure who owns The Den?
Andell
Andell was played by Yvette Wilson, a comic actress. Sadly, she died of cancer in 2012.
Which sports star did Andell date in Season 1?
"Moesha" never failed to surprise with the quality of its guest stars . As early as Season 1, bright lights like two-sport star Deion Sanders dropped by.
In front of what is Moesha dancing in the early-seasons' opening credits?
a bakery
a fountain
her high school
the Saturn dealership
For most of the series' run, the credits opened with Moesha dancing in front of a fountain in Los Angeles. This allowed Brandy to show off a little of her excellent dance skills.
Who was Moesha's first boyfriend on the show?
Ohagi
Ohagi and Moesha had a "secret love" at the beginning of Season One. He even wrote a poem about it, titled -- wait for it! -- "Secret Love."
Who did Shar Jackson play?
Shar Jackson had 15 minutes of (probably unwanted) fame when she lost her boyfriend Kevin Federline, who had fathered two of her children, to Britney Spears. She also has two children from an earlier relationship.
What relation is Ray J, who played Dorian, to Brandy?
Ray J was born William Ray Norwood and took the name Ray J for his music career. Nowadays, you might know him better for his exploits in reality TV, like VH1's "For the Love of Ray J."
Who played Jeremy, one of Moesha's early love interests?
The R&B star played the dreamy Jeremy. At a pajama party, he appears to pressure Moesha for sex, but she isn't having any, and then Frank arrives to spoil the fun.
What is Moesha's dream car?
A BMW
A Jeep
A Mercedes
A Mustang
The Mitchell family is fairly well off financially. This is evidenced by the fact that Frank gets her the Jeep she really wants, after first trying to get her to settle for a Saturn.
Who guest-starred as basketball ace Terry Hightower?
Hightower wants Moesha to help him cheat on the SAT. She refuses, but he later does so well on it that everyone thinks he *did* cheat.
In which season do Hakeem and Moesha first kiss?
This happened on the episode "Basket Case." In it, Moesha "wins" a date with Hakeem in a school fundraiser in which the girls date the boys whose basket they bought. This is a variation on the old "pie supper" fundraisers churches used to hold, in which young men would eat their supper with the young woman who'd baked the pie.
Who played Kim?
Kim Fields
Countess Vaughn
Countess Vaughn was a "Star Search" winner at age nine. Like more than one "Moesha" cast member, she's gone on the appear in several reality TV shows.
What stage name did Dorian choose for his rap career?
D-Money
Ice-D
Lil' Long Strong
Dorian was an aspiring rapper. Actor Ray J, likewise, has a music career; his albums include "Raydiation."
What was revealed about Dorian late in the series?
He was gay.
He had sickle-cell anemia.
He was Frank's son.
He was not related to the Mitchells at all.
Dorian came to live with the Mitchells in Season Five because he'd had some problems with authority in Oakland. Soon, it was revealed that "Uncle Frank" was really his father. A lot of fans disliked that storyline, because it took a rare depiction of a responsible black father on TV and tarnished it.
Who revealed Dorian's paternity?
Aunt Hattie
Barbara Lee, Dorian's birth mother
Dorian himself
Uncle Bernie
This family secret was let loose by an eccentric aunt. On the same episode, and not entirely coincidentally, Moesha told her father she was moving out of the house.
What was the name of the episode on which Frank's paternity of Dorian was revealed?
"Bombshells"
"Homecoming"
"Secrets and Lies"
"Truth Be Told"
The episode certainly contained a bombshell. But the title was "Secrets and Lies."
Which later "Castle" star had a small role as Hakeem's friend?
Seamus Dever
Jon Huertas
Huertas played Hakeem's friend Antonio. Later, he had a more prominent role as Lt. Esposito on the ABC hit "Castle."
Where does Moesha go to college?
Cal U
Los Angeles City College
UC Sunnydale
Moesha goes to the fictitious "Cal U." Maybe she ran into some of the cast of "Beverly Hills, 90210," who also went to a "California University" in the 1990s.
Who proposed to Moesha in Season 6?
Ohaji
Quinton Brooks was played by Fredro Starr. He has an impressive resume in the rap world, having been discovered by Jam Master Jay, then performing with Onyx and as a solo artist.
What was the name of the "Moesha" spin-off?
"Andell's Place"
"D-Money's Dream"
"The Parkers"
"Roommates"
"The Parkers" revolved around the hook of a mother and daughter (Kim and Nikki Parker) going to the same community college. This demands that their relationship shift to one of roommates and friends. Mo'Nique played Nikki Parker in the series.
What was Moesha's mother's name?
We see the mother's full name when Moesha goes to her burial vault to talk to her. It's Marguerite Jennings Mitchell.

Our village carol singing event on Sunday 14th December was a great success – we certainly didn't let the wet weather dampen our spirits.
The aim was to get villagers together and to have a good seasonal time and judging by the turnout and all the rosy cheeks and sparking eyes, we can safely say that this mission was accomplished! Our rich community spirit could certainly be felt…!! The singing was magical and Hugh Davies's rendition of the Twelve Days of Christmas was a real treat.
Thank you to all of the members of the choir for your wonderful singing and for giving it your all, a very special thanks to Jack, our Choirmaster and Claire on percussion who has kept us all on the straight and narrow- it's certainly been a giggle.
Wishing you and your families a very Happy Christmas and New Year.
As you are probably aware, the Parish Council decided at its November 11th meeting to set up a Committee with a view to liaising with Ashford Borough Council on the creation of the Local Plan which will attempt to try to set parameters for development within the Borough up until 2030.
This Committee is Chaired by Derek Anthony (I will be his Deputy) and is comprised of over two dozen volunteers from all over the parish who will be working together in smaller groups (5 in total plus the Parish Clerk, Martin Hopkins) each one covering a particular geographical area of the Parish.
One of the ambitions of the Committee is to make contact with and seek the opinions of every Resident in the Parish with regard to the draft proposals which are beginning to feed out to us from Ashford Borough Council.
If you live in Pilgrims Way or Wye Road you will be covered by Neighbourhood Planning Committee Group 5 which is comprised of Caroline Archer (who will report to the Chairman), Elspeth Watt, Rita Hawes, Gordon Ashley, Matthew Girt and myself (Alan Vaughan).
Because we initially have a time frame of just a few short weeks we will be contacting you again in the very near future to advise you as best we can about draft proposals coming from Ashford Borough Council, and to seek your opinion. This is a marvellous opportunity for everyone to have their say and to be involved in the shape of the Parish of the future and we welcome you to join in.
In the meantime you can (possibly) find out more at the Community Carol Singing at the Cricket Pavilion this Sunday at 4pm……….
Programme and song sheets Community Choir – Song sheet click to open and feel free to bring your own copy with you.
Bring lanterns or lamps – wrap up warm, only if it's really very cold will we retreat to the pub. Hot soup & rolls available from the Pub.

Q: Indexing function for a string in python I am trying to implement a function called say "Function" from scratch that counts how many times each parameter z of letters occurs sequentially in a string.
For example, Function('abcbcb', z=2)
should return ab:1, bc:2, cb: 2
or Function('abcbcb', z=3) should return
abc: 1, bcb: 2, cbc: 1
I have tried using loops and python string methods but I have not been able to write a working one yet.
Thank you!

A: First let's call the function another name because this one is confusing. I'll call it times.
iterable[n:k] will return the iterable from index n (inclusive) to index k(exclusive).
here is a code with explanations:
def times(str, z):
  dict ={} # we create an empty dict
  for i in range(len(str)-z+1): #we loop over the string a number of times depending on z so we can check all z length paramters
    if str[i:i+z] in dict.keys(): #if the part of the string is in the keys of the dictionary then we add one
        dict[str[i:i+z]] += 1
    else:
      dict[str[i:i+z]] = 1 # if it wasn't we set it to one
  return dict
times('abcbcb',3)

Nearly 50% of Video Professionals in UK Never Saw 4K
A recent survey in UK shows that nearly 50% of video professionals have never seen 4K.
Surveys never give us the complete truth, no matter how unbiased they are, but they somehow help us to understand things better. So, when a recent survey in the United Kingdom that targeted the opinions of 100 senior production staff in the area of video, revealed that nearly 50% of them have never seen 4K played out on any kind of screen, one has to ask if 4K is really the next big thing.
It probably is, but we should never forget, and forgive me the analogy, that DVD is still king, although Blu-ray was promised as the next big thing. And while DVD is still the primary physical format for movie-delivery, although Sony tried hard to push the Blu-ray format with their PlayStation, the truth is that the rise of video on-demand and streaming makes the simple idea of owning a Blu-ray machine uninteresting.
Am I saying, with this, that 4K is not the way to go? No, not at all. After all we're talking about different things. The market of video production, as the photographic, keeps aspiring for higher resolutions, even if, sometimes, to compress them to a lower definition. On photography people demand higher and higher resolution sensors, to finally create thumbnails for their Facebook pages… and on video we're looking at people filming – or wanting to – in 4K, simply because it seems to be the trend, and many times to create videos that end on YouTube. Sincerely, I do not get it…
4K is not going to make you create better stories in your videos. If you're just starting, go with 2K and learn the skills. 4K can be something to use later, when your notion of video is better. The actual Full HD (2K) will be more than enough for now, and it will guarantee you've an audience, as most people only have Full HD and, some, HD Ready televisions at home!
Now, as with higher resolution sensors in photography, there is a good side to 4K: you can also crop and recompose from the original capture, and that's something that people like Vincent LaForet and Philip Bloom – to mention names you know well, but I could give you others – have mentioned over and over. Having a higher resolution image to go from when editing, gives you more options, both creatively and technically. But there is a problem on the viewers side: it will take some time for people to have 4K TV at home.
That's something that the survey from Televisual reflects. The 100 execs work at some of leading TV, film, commercials and corporate production companies in the UK such as Atlantic, Boundless, Casual Films, Company Pictures, Endemol, The Garden, IMG, Kudos, Leopard, Leftbank, Lime TV, Maverick, October Films, Princess, Rattling Stick, Raw, RDF, Ricochet, Sunset & Vine, Tiger Aspect, Wag TV, Windfall and World Television, achieved a consensus: it will be 5-6 years before 4K is commonplace in the home. So, why shoot in 4K?
Well, because besides the aspects mentioned above, it looks simply fantastic… in the right viewer. That's probably one of the reasons why many of the professionals that participated in the survey haven't yet seen it. And this confirms that 4K has still got some way to go before it's mainstream. Up to six, years, according to the survey from Televisual, as mentioned. Still, some 23% of the respondents to the survey say they have shot in 4K over the past year, on cameras such as the Red Epic or Sony F55. 33% plan to shoot in the format next year.
NAB 2014: NewsShooter – Panel: To 4k, or not to 4k from Teradek on Vimeo.
The complete survey is an interesting document to read through, also because it covers other aspects that are important not only for people working with video production, but also for the general reader and user. For example, "Canon emerges as the most used camera brand in the Production Technology Survey, with 42% using their models in the past year and 30.5% hoping to in the next 12 months. Canon's C300 is, by some margin, the most popular model, cited by 22% of all respondents as the model they used most frequently, while 16% say it's the camera model they most hope to use in the next 12 months. The majority of respondents say that Canon cameras are excellent value for money, while image quality and build quality is very good."
The survey also presents data on subjects as "The top editing, compositing and grading systems" and "The cloud and digital workflows", with some interesting revelations that may help readers to define their next steps when it comes to video production, archiving and distribution. Visit Televisual pages dedicated to the survey.
One last word, and this is something that Vincent LaForet says a lot, even if not with these exact words: "I love technology, but the more I use it, the more I go back to the craft." That's really important. The video published here (see above) might give you some more stuff to think about. Watch it!

The all-new 2014 Mitsubishi Mirage made its North American debut today at the Salon International de l'auto de Montreal. Although the Mirage unveiled at the show is identical to the version sold in other markets, Mitsubishi the subcompact was unveiled without a name in Canada. It's not known if the Mirage name will be attached to the small Mitsubishi when it hits our shores this fall.

The "Mirage" is wider than Chevy Spark, taller than Hyundai Accent and longer than Scion iQ. The small Mitsubishi is powered by a 74-hp 1.2L three-cylinder engine with 74 lb-ft. of torque that is mated to a five-speed manual or CVT transmission. Even though the North American version of the Mirage looks almost identical to the version sold in Japan, our version will be three inches longer.

There is a little part of me which is all Barbara Good and I am a huge fan of the simple things in life. Imagine then my joy when I was invited by Yeo Valley to attend the Mendip Ploughing Match last month, and then imagine how my heart raced when I was asked if I would like to have a go myself!
Heaven in a big red Tonka toy!
Under the guidance of Slim the Tractor Driver I was soon whizzing around the field. I love earth at the best of times and this really was the best of times! Turning over that top layer was like stirring cake, pulling all the ingredients together in preparation for next years crop. Slim told me how each blade of the plough moves independently up and down so if it encounters a stone or rock it can deal with it. I loved the simplicity and this monster is not that far removed from these beauties.
I spent the entire day grinning!
This ploughing match has been an annual event since 1858, it is uncommercial and friendly and I loved the characters I encountered. There was a calmness and a sense of community coming together, sharing stories over cider. Lots of cider! I was very pleased to see that Yeo's sponsorship of the event was unobtrusive and complimentary.
The vintage tractors, lovingly cared for by their owners were absolutely beautiful!
Some people had evidently trained their animals well – always useful to have a navigator!
I have spent the last two autumns trying to get the perfect furrow picture, if I couldn't get it here I was going to give up!
The judges examined them closely but to my mind these were obviously a winner – I'm an expert you know, I've ploughed a furrow or two!
And now, if you will, let me indulge myself with a few more photos of me, ploughing my own furrow here as I try to do in my everyday life, happily going my own way!
I didn't win a trophy, my obvious talent went unnoticed by all but Slim and the Yeo Valley team but I walked away from that day with a very full heart. How I'd feel about it early in the morning in a biting wind and driving rain I choose to push to the back of my mind!
With thanks to Yeo Valley for inviting me, I learned a lot from Tim Mead about the miracle which is soil, I can honestly say that Yeo is one of the companies I have most enjoyed working with this year. Everything about them ticks my boxes; they are organic, ethical and nice to boot – and their yoghurt is delicious!
Having ticked a lifelong ambition off my list I'd love to know what simple thing you would most like to do. What would make your heart sing if you were given the chance to have a go?
Oh so would I! There are places I would love to see and people I would love to meet. How would you travel if you had the choice? I'd sail with my family!
Ooh, what fun! And great photos.
Thank you very much! I had such a blast!
As I read the words "Turning over that top layer was like stirring cake," just now I realised I had muffins cooking and had to make a mad dash to the oven. All is well, muffins perfectly cooked, I must of course thank you for the timely reminder!
I am no expert on ploughing, however your work looks pretty darn perfect to me. What fun that must have been.
Phew! Glad to be of service! 😀 You can send me one as a thank you if you like 😉 I've never braved the whole 'standing up on a surfboard' thing, my balance isn't too reliable – I would like to do it if I could look like one of those bronzed beauties in films, effortlessly surfing the wave!
See, I know in my head I would look like one of those beach babe types. In reality I would just look like a 30something mother of 3 who hasn't quite lost enough of the baby weight, but as long as I look good in my head hey?!
Jen! Get up there and have a go!
How cool is that – sooooooooooooooo jealous!
A farmer's wife is one of the parallel lives I'd like to live – for a while anyway.
I always wanted to be a farmer when I was kid and even now would give it all up to live the good life if I could. So I am just a teensy bit jealous of you getting to drive a tractor!
I was invited to this and am now officially gutted I couldn't make it, guess driving a tractor is going to have to stay on my to do list for now. Looks like you had a lovely day, and the pics are lovely.

Q: Virtual function pointer to a function in a derived class I'm trying to see if the following is possible. I'm still on an old Visual Studio 2008 C++ compiler, so bear with me.
Say, I have two classes derived from a single class. Both have the same function that I want to pass as a pointer to be called from a static function.
Here's pseudocode:
class CDlg1 : public CDialog
{
    virtual void func1(int v)
    {
        wprintf(L"CDlg1::func1 was called, v=%d\n", v);
    }

    void do_delayed_call()
    {
        delayed_call_func1(func1);
    }
}

class CDlg2 : public CDialog
{
    virtual void func1(int v)
    {
        wprintf(L"CDlg2::func1 was called, v=%d\n", v);
    }

    void do_delayed_call()
    {
        delayed_call_func1(func1);
    }
}

static void delayed_call_func1(void* pfn)
{
    //... some additional action
    //int v = something

    //Call pfn() after a delay
    pfn(v);
}

I can't figure out, do I need to template for this function pointer?

A: It's hard to know what's going on without seeing code for CDialog.  Is "func1" virtual in CDialog?  If so, you can write:
void delayed_call_func1(CDialog& cdialog)
{
    ... ;
    cdialog.func1(v);
}

If not, you could indeed use a template:
template <typename CDlgX>
void delayed_call_func1(CDlgX* p)
{
    ... ;
    p->func1(v);
}

Or, if your old compiler can compile boost, there are several libraries therein such as boost::function that are similar to the C++11 std::function, and can be used to supply delayed_call_func1 with an arbitrary callback to your member function, but I'd suggest you only look into that after updating your compiler - then you can use lambdas too.


Eph. 4:11-13 (ESV) And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
Joe Peter was born and raised in rural northern Iowa. He attended Central College in Pella where he met his future wife Sabrina. He became a Christian after his freshman year and turned his focus towards religion and philosophy studies. Though his studies he became increasingly convicted of a call to teach and preach God's Word. After graduating in 2007, he moved to Chicago and attended Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield while working in youth ministry and as a private tutor. Sabrina and Joe were married in August of 2008 and she moved to Chicago and became a pre-school teacher. In 2011, the Peter's returned home to Northern Iowa. Joe began work as a carpenter while he served with the local church as pastoral intern and with youth ministries as well as Youth for Christ. In April of 2014, Joe accepted the call of senior pastor at Center Street Baptist.
Overseers are responsible for teaching and governing the congregation. As leaders they give guidance and direction to the church. As teachers they oversee the life of the church to preserve its biblical faithfulness. They are wardens of the Word of God.
The basic meaning of the word 'deacon' is practical, active helping with respect to the basic necessities of life. The office of deacon exists to assist the leadership of the church by relieving the overseers of distractions and pressures that would divert them from the ministry of the Word and prayer and the general, visionary oversight of the church.
Deaconesses are the backbone of nearly every ministry at Center Street Baptist. These servant leaders are involved with nearly every one of our events, communion Sundays, weddings, funerals, receptions, home care ministries and yes, even the famed Baptist potlucks. They organize, plan, create, clean, and generally make everything happening around the church run a little smoother. They are an indispensable part of what makes Center Street tick. Our deaconesses are: Hiede Wall, Marie Butenhoff, Becky Wehrman, and Lu Ann Lawrence.
