Camping is the perfect holiday for an active family. It provides time away from busy work routines and hectic schedules, and allows a family to become more in tune with their environment as well as each other.
You can bond over putting the tent up, sitting around the campfire or exploring nature. There are many cool camping ideas you can try to keep you and your family busy throughout your camping holiday.
Though it might not be as busy or luxurious as a city holiday in a fancy hotel, you get to choose your own campsite at little to no cost, and there are plenty of opportunities for long walks, fresh air and spending time with your partner and children.
This article will list some of the fun camping ideas that your family can participate in on your next camping trip.
Children can sometimes be difficult to please. They're so glued to their electronic devices that they don't know what to do with them.
But coming up with activities to do is more fun than you think. Some of these activities are geared towards younger children, while you can make the same tasks more challenging for older kids.
Nature Hunt: a nature hunt can provide children with the opportunity to engage with nature directly and give them a chance to find treasures to take home from their natural environment. A list can be provided for older children with items that can be commonly found in the outdoors. This could include rocks, leaves, feathers, shells or flowers. Younger children can have a more unstructured hunt and find anything that captures their interest.
You can bring a bag to store all the nature treasures that they find in and you can explain to them the names of the different types of flowers and the types of trees the leaves came from.
Pet Rocks: if they find any rocks along the path while hiking, they can take them home and paint them with any designs they like. They can even paint them to look like any of the animals they've seen while camping.
Leaf Engravings: leaves can be placed under a piece of paper and coloured over with a crayon to capture the unique pattern and shape of each leaf. See how many different kinds your children can find. You can even teach them how photosynthesis works in leaves.
Feather Birds: feathers can be stuck together to form the shape of birds and the children can flutter them around and play games with them.
Shell Sea Creature Magnets: if your camping adventure takes you to the beach, there are bound to be plenty of shells along the shore. They can take these shells home and can be made into cute sea creature magnets to hang on your fridge. They can be made into turtles, crabs, fish or anything else that captures your child's fancy.
Flower Crowns and Bracelets: flowers can be woven into jewelry or crowns for your children to wear while exploring their surroundings.
Tic-Tac-Toe: an impromptu Tic-Tac-Toe board can be made out of an old stump or in a patch of earth and some gathered rocks and seeds. You can assign naughts to one object and crosses to another and then the basic rules of Tic-Tac-Toe are followed, with the individual who achieves a row of their pieces in any direction being the winner.
String Up a Hammock: you can hang a hammock up between two trees and use it as a place for relaxation and fun. Children love to climb up in a hammock and making it sway back and forth above the ground. It can be a great place for a quiet cuddle with tired young children or to enjoy the shade the tree provides on a hot day. If you are feeling particularly adventurous on a night with good weather you could spend the night out in your hammock, swaying gently in the night breeze.
A Portable Activity Baby Station: a portable activity baby station provides a safe place for your baby to play while you are busy around the campsite. It can be folded away for easy storage and can easily be transported in your car to your chosen camping area.
A floor pad provides for a soft, safe place for your child's feet and a locking button ensures that it doesn't collapse or fall with your baby in it. It also provides space for your child's favourite toys to be clipped on securely and room for their drink bottle and snacks. A table area provides a good surface area for your baby to busy themselves with any kinds of crafts, and you can rest easy knowing that they're safe.
Straws: stick a bundle of straws together into the solution and blow to create a cloud of tiny bubbles.
A couple of sticks and some string: you can tie some string together between two sticks and dip them into the bubble mixture. Simply swish them around and you can create some very large bubbles.
Plastic Bottles: a plastic bottle can be cut in half and after dipping the cut-off end in the bubble mixture, you can blow through the drinking end to create a steady stream of bubbles.
Cooking Gear: put the camp cooking gear to a new use by using them to create magnificent bubbles. This could include a whisk, a cheese grater, a sieve or a pancake flipper. Each one of these tools will create unique bubbles which are sure to entertain the children.
A fun way to add even more excitement to bubble blowing is to add some food coloring to the bubble solution and make rainbow colored bubbles. A strip of paper can be placed down in the middle of the camp and multi-coloured bubble mixture provided to create a bubble work of art.
These activities can be fun to do while the younger ones are asleep, allowing you to have more quiet time with the older members of your group.
Older children and teenagers will have fun with these, and you can even challenge your older friends and family members to these as well.
Go Fishing: although fishing can be enjoyed my individuals of many ages, you may want to fish with the younger children away from the older kids and grownups, especially if there are some in the group who are very avid fishers. Fishing teaches children patience and coordination as they learn to bait their own hook and throw the line out in the water.
Exercise care and offer to bait their hooks for them so that they don't get the barbs stuck in their fingers. They are always very excited about the thought of catching a fish and are always checking the line to see if a fish is nibbling at the line. It provides a good opportunity to sit and talk with your children while waiting for a bite and any fishes caught can be cooked over a campfire and provide a feast.
Orion: Orion was a hunter in Greek mythology. Three stars make Orion's belt with other stars giving the vague shape of his body and legs.
The Big Dipper: The Big Dipper is in the shape of a huge bear. This bear in Greek mythology was Callisto, a nymph transformed into the shape of a bear by the jealous goddess, Hera. It was used by sailors to help navigate through its ability to show the direction of the north star.
The Southern Cross: If you live in Australia or in the Southern hemisphere the Southern Cross is a familiar constellation.
It appears in the shape of a cross and it shows the direction of the South pole.
If you're lucky, you may even be able to spot a shooting star or two.
Charades: charades involves using a series of gestures to demonstrate a movie title, book or popular saying without talking. The team mates of the player then have to guess what they are trying to tell them. A simpler form of charades for younger children could be moving around like an animal and then getting them to guess what animal you are. Charades can be a fun game to play during a quiet time during the day or around the campfire at night. For older members of the camping team, you can set a time limit to make the game even more challenging.
Bird-Watching: watching birds can be an interesting activity. Not only are some birds brightly coloured, many of them also sing quite beautifully. If you're lucky enough, you may be able to spot their activities as they go about their day, which can be fascinating to watch. By being quiet and still, children will be able to observe birds in their natural habitat. They can watch them find food, seek a mate and make nests. The different types of varieties and birds can be discussed and the features that make them unique.
If you have a pair of binoculars with you it will allow children to get a close view of the birds without scaring them away. The best thing about bird-watching is that there are so many different types of birds that a lot of the day can be spent seeking out and watching them and the next day new birds can be found to observe and talk about.
Animal Watching: when you get tired of looking at birds there will be plenty of other animals to find and to look at. Lizards can often be found sunbathing on a path or rabbits seen jumping through a patch of grass. Your children can be encouraged to look for animals on a hike to keep them entertained for the length of the trip. Be on the lookout for any snakes, however. They might be venomous, and you don't want your children to get too close.
When the sun goes down, there might not be much to do except settling down in your tent and going to bed. What you might not know is that many of your favorite games can be adapted to be played at night time.
Have a Glow in the Dark Water Balloon Fight: preparing the balloons for the water fight can be a family event, with everyone carefully placing the glow stick in a water balloon and then adding water over the top of them. This would be best played at sunset or dusk when you can still see each other for better aim.
Glow in the Dark Rings for Ring Toss: glow sticks can be bent into circles and then attached by rubber band or a hair tie until they form hoops or rings. These can be thrown at nearby branches of trees which can also be marked with a glow stick or sticks hammered into the ground.
Neon Tape Hopscotch: neon tape can be stuck on the ground to make your own hopscotch game and a glow stick thrown to find the number to avoid jumping on.
Glow in the Dark Bowling Pins: used water containers can be recycled and used to place glow sticks in to provide pins for a glow in the dark bowling game. Water can be added to make them steadier and harder to knock over.
For more tips on activities when hiking with kids, see our previous article on this topic.
Great decorations for your campsite can be created from recycled rubbish that have been used by you or other campers. They will make your camping grounds a unique and fun place to stay and can be brought back with you to decorate your backyard and porch.
A Tin Can Mobile: a tin can mobile can be created by painting used cans and making holes in the top so you can attach them to string. These can be attached to two sticks which you should be able to find in the area around your camp. This not only adds a lot of colour to your campsite but makes a great noise as the cans clank together in the wind.
Tin Can Lanterns: tin cans can also be made into lanterns, with a candle or LED light to put inside.
All you need is a nail, a hammer and an idea of a pattern.
Using the hammer to create holes in the tin can in the desired pattern allows the light to shine through and adds a festive feel to your campsite at night time.
I hope these cool camping ideas have provided you with some fun thoughts about what to do on your next camping trip.
I am sure these fun camping ideas will provide so much entertainment you won't be able to wait until your next camping trip. For tips on how to choose the best family tents for camping, see our article on this topic.

Popular in Britain since the late seventeenth century, dolls' houses are tiny slices of social history that give us a fascinating glimpse into domestic life over the last 300 years.
In this beautifully-illustrated book, Nicola Lisle explores the origins and history of dolls' houses and their furnishings, from the earliest known dolls' house in sixteenth century Bavaria to the present, and looks at how they reflect the architecture, fashions, social attitudes, innovations and craftsmanship of their day. She discusses the changing role of dolls' houses and highlights significant events and people to give historical context. She also takes a look at some of the leading dolls' house manufacturers, such as Silber & Fleming and Lines Brothers Ltd (later Triang).
The book includes numerous examples of interesting dolls' houses, the stories behind them and where to see them. This includes famous models such as Queen Mary's spectacular 1920s dolls' house at Windsor Castle and the eighteenth-century baby house at Kew Palace.
There is also a chapter on model towns and villages, which became popular in the twentieth century and also give us a window on the past by replicating real places or capturing scenes typical of a bygone era, as well as advice for dolls' house collectors, a detailed directory of places to visit and recommended further reading.
One of the most comprehensive guides available on the subject published in recent years, this book offers unique insights into the world of dolls' houses and is a must for anyone with an interest in the history and appeal of these miniature treasures.
This book really appealed to me because like books, dollhouses, and miniatures are worlds within worlds. In my reading life, I love how they can be used to be clues in mysteries, oracles of unfortunate events, a place of escape and aesthetics, and of course creepy and threatening. All of this I love but I don't really know about the true origins of the miniatures or how they have evolved therefore this book filled in all of those gaps.
I really enjoyed reading about the history, how the miniatures started as learning tools and evolved into what we know of the dollhouses today. I also liked how the author Lisle invites us into her world and love of miniatures. You can read her passion within her words.
NetGalley, Zoe Pollock
This well researched and gracefully written study of dolls' houses from the earliest models meant to display the wealth of the owner in carefully crafted miniatures to today's mass manufactured toys is a comprehensive and entertaining study for both the collector and the casual reader. As social history, its range is impressive and the author's observations are insightful; scholarly, but not dull. The dolls' house deserves a thoughtful history and this is an excellent source, with copious illustrations and extensive source materials. . The focus is on the UK, but readers everywhere will enjoy the descriptions of 17th c royal "baby houses" and the evolution of modern children's toys. What began as an adult hobby of the very rich migrated to a tool to teach little girls housekeeping skills in miniature. The Victorian era was the moment in the development of this hobby that democratized the dolls' house. Today many children inherit a dolls house: in my family the dolls' house made for me by my grandfather was played with by my sisters and my niece, who will probably pass it on to her daughter. Dolls and miniature furniture, themselves an active and popular hobby, are also discussed, as are the phenomenon of miniature villages.
NetGalley, Mary Hess
Doll Houses have a long, interesting history and Lisle goes in depth about their history, illustrating trends throughout the years, who owned them and concludes with advice for people considering starting a doll house collection.
NetGalley, Jenny Bradford
I loved this book. I had no idea that dolls houses could be so useful to historians - I'd always just viewed them as toys to be honest. This book changed all that and made me see that they can be a very revealing record of social and political history with the types of decor, cars and even books on the tiny bookshelves. The history of the doll's house and its uses was really interesting, originally for grown ups to entertain and show off!

I don't think I can recommend enough Life in Miniature by Nicola Lisle – A History of Dolls' Houses. I loved it! It was such a fascinating book. I had no idea, before reading the book, how widespread the doll houses were before the Victorian era. Lisle talks about doll houses in Britain and also abroad, which is so interesting. 5/5 stars
Nicola's history of dolls' houses is both comprehensive and enjoyable. It's a hobby primarily enjoyed by girls, I guess, but it's fascinating for just about anyone!
Reading this book has been a true delight, and I learnt to appreciate something that I never knew had much value. Thoroughly recommend!
Natalie is a History Buff
This book is an absolute delight, packed full of interesting facts and figures and a selection of truly amazing photographs – it's worth it just for the pictures alone, in my opinion but of course there is so much more besides those.
Daisy Says
Life in Miniature looks back through the history of these tiny houses in detail and helps the reader understand how they're important to us as historians. As well as discussing their use and purpose, we learn about examples across Europe and in the UK that are delicately housed in museums and stately homes, quite often in archives under lock and key. At the back of the book there is a list of the dolls' houses that you can visit which is really useful as once you've read the book, you honestly can't wait to go out and find the nearest dolls house you can, to see what you can learn from it.
If you're interested in history, this book is a really good read, and not only if you like the history of toys or play. It'll give you an insight into analysing these miniature buildings for clues about the past, whether social or political and you'll appreciate them as snapshots of life frozen in time.
Love British History
Nicola Lisle's book is an extremely interesting journey into a world that is affected by the passion of children and adults. Often a passion that lasts a lifetime, for many who have tried it. In the end, every dolls' house encountered has its own life and often changes with the years and with the various owners who take turns, each house is a mirror of the child who played with it and the adult who kept it. Itself is also a journey into the uses and customs of the past and as such has a recognized and protected historical value, a value that goes beyond the economic aspect. At the same time the dolls'house continues to hold its own as a game even today, in a world of video games and mobile phones, and this is an enormously positive thing because the fantasy (the same fantasy of the little Lena Montgomery of Stanbrig Eorls, 120 years ago) that stimulates itself with play should not be caged.
Life in Miniature: A History of Dolls' Houses by Nicola Lisle is a fascinating history which includes a section of photographs that are wonderful.
I'll start by stating that I came to this with little knowledge of dolls' houses but an interest in knowing how and why they came to be. Even though I knew of a few of the houses that served as social statements in the past I did have the mistaken impression that they were always for children and those examples were the exception. I was wrong. They developed into children's objects when production became less expensive and painstaking.
As a history this book combines just enough context for the various time periods so the reader can understand why these houses carried the meaning(s) they did. I spent a small amount of time searching online for additional images, which was a fun task in itself. But it also highlights what would, for me, have made this a phenomenal book: more photographs and even drawings. That is a bit of an unfair complaint since this is not promoted as a coffee table book, I just happen to think it would have made for a beautiful one.
As a reader and lit person, I especially enjoyed the chapter on "Doll Houses in Literature." In addition to the information contained here, it served to make me think about how so many things we now consider children's toys or objects that carry a lot of meaning in literature, film, and even music. That is off topic but I always appreciate a book that sends me off on a related tangent, it means the book has successfully engaged me.
I highly recommend this to anyone already interested in dolls' houses as well as those like myself who simply want to learn the history of something we're all familiar with.
NetGalley, Jack Messer
I am not a dollhouse maker myself but I really enjoy seeing them! I made a special trip to Windsor to see the famous one there and have been to dollhouse shows in museums closer to home. This book gave me a greater appreciation for the history and craftsmanship of dollhouses and their importance in our culture.
NetGalley, Rachel Rappaport
Few things are more fascinating than doll houses. Lisle presents the history of doll houses in a fantastic and enjoyable way as we journey through time and across countries to see how this wonderful tiny houses came to be. This is a must have for any collector.
NetGalley, Teresa Grabs
I love dollhouses and I was all prepared to love this book, but I went a step beyond and seriously adore it. The chapter titles were the first addiction . . .historical content with fascinating themes and an explanation for the development of doll houses in general. The German "baby houses," as they were called in the 16th century (I had no idea, fascinating!) owe a lot to Duke Albert V who commissioned a team of craftsmen to create and furnish the Munich Baby House, possibly intended for his daughters Maria Anna and Maximiliana Maria, who were around 5 and 6 years old. This is the kind of stuff one does not come across, sadly, in the novels about that era. I have seen scant references to dolls, and even less to doll houses, but one assumes children wanted to play and people have always been fascinated by miniatures. Some of the content made me think of The Miniaturist because of the idea that (naturally) doll houses started out as being for the wealthy and were not considered toys but status items. Now with this pandemic, I have been thinking more and more of getting back to my fascination with doll houses and this book is truly inspiring, for it explains architecture and culture while talking about one of my favorite subjects. Ann Sharp, the little daughter of the Archbishop of York, is the subject of an entire chapter that talks about her baby house which was probably made somewhere between 1695 and 1700. I must have seen the miniature model houses at Hever Castle, but the mere mention sent me into a tizzy. Thank God for the pictures at the end of the book. Caution: you will want the print edition. Delightful indeed are the chapters about dolls' houses in literature, the names of model villages, abundant information about notable doll house collectors and places to visit, primarily in the U.K and good heavens, doll house fairs and festivals. I need this book in print. Last but not least are web links and email addresses. Fabulous!
NetGalley, Julia Simpson-Urrutia
I loved this book on a personal level since I enjoy dollhouses and miniatures. The history was so interesting and I look forward to sharing it with other hobbyists.
NetGalley, Victoria Peipert
I love a good microhistory. This is a thorough look at dolls houses, including how they developed over time, outstanding examples of surviving dolls houses, and stories about collectors and makers. I found the first section a bit dry at times, but for someone who is into miniatures, it'd be a goldmine. I loved the section reviewing dolls houses in fiction and appreciate the substantial appendix of where to see dolls houses and where to look online or at the library to find out more. A wonderfully researched history that will be well loved.
NetGalley, Lauren MN
This was a short but enjoyable read that adds color and spark to historical objects I wouldn't normally pay much mind and for that it's a read I very much enjoyed.
NetGalley, Sarah Stewart
I have always been interested in dollhouses, but I had no idea about the history of them.
This book has a lot of detail on how the purposes of baby houses (dollhouses) evolved over the centuries as well as detailed descriptions of numerous houses.
There is an appendix with an extensive list of places to visit along with addresses, email, phone numbers, and websites.
NetGalley, Jeanne Schutts
Such a charming and informative book, about a subject I've never read in any depth before - dolls' houses. I learnt a lot, and very much enjoyed this.
NetGalley, Kirsty H
I didn't know anything at all about dolls' houses, and I feel like this was a very good short introduction to the theme! The book has a chapter about dolls' houses in literature, has a short guide on collecting (deciding what you want, where to find, different types of houses), followed by a chapter with "some notable collectors".
There is a long appendix with suggestions of places to visit (all in Europe, I believe), and also a list of books for further reading, including in that non-fiction (about history of these houses), fiction, magazines, and even websites.
Overall, I really enjoyed this! It was really interesting to see the changes in the houses themselves and the way the families interacted with them.
NetGalley, Giovana Mazzoni
This book is a little delight. I'd never given much thought to dolls' houses before, except maybe the Sylvanian families line. But as it turns out, dolls' houses have a lot of historical value. Lisle takes us to the earliest known "baby houses" all the way to the present day.
The houses are usually more than toys. Often, they were never intended as such! Small, coquette recreations of real counterparts, these doll houses give us a glimpse of the past and the luxury spent on making a version of home small enough to appreciate in one go. And of course, there was a show-off element. By the 1920s, some dolls' houses were positively marketing tools! The portion dedicated to Queen Mary's Dolls' House from the British Empire Exhibition of Arts and Manufacturing is a visual feast for the mind, with its endless list of miniature contributions from contemporary craftsmen like Rolls Royce, Thomas Hardy, A.A. Milne, Gustav Holst, Dame Laura Knight, Edmund Dulac, etc. They even had little dolls' tennis rackets made by Alfred Doncaster, purveyor of rackets to the Wimbledon stars.
I especially loved the history of dolls' house manufacturing that Lisle gives throughout, including home-made versions from the WWII "make-do and mend" period. I could swear items made form matchboxes and safety pins came straight out of Mary Norton's "The Borrowers"! It's a far cry from the Chippendale and Palladian recreations, at any rate.
If your interest is piqued (as mine as), then you'll enjoy Nicola Lisle's handy guides at the back of the book: one on how to start your own collection, and another (more my cup of tea) on the museums lucky enough to keep these little houses safe and sound for the public's enjoyment.
Recommended for anyone with an interest in miniature slices of domestic history.
NetGalley, Patricia J
I don't know what it is that makes dolls' houses (and miniatures in general) so appealing, but there's no doubt that a large proportion of the population has a positive response to them. This book is perfect for anyone slightly fascinated, enthusiastic, or obsessed! The photos are a beautiful addition. There's a handy buying guide included... you know... just in case! "Life in Miniature" is a wonderful book - maybe almost as good as actually owning a dolls' house!
NetGalley, Dawn Lewis
When I was young, I always wanted a doll house although that dream was not realized. I did enjoy seeing a number of doll houses in museums and was always intrigued by the houses and their small furnishings. When my kids were young, there was a wonderful doll house store near where I worked and we loved going there.
So, based on all of that, I was excited to see this title on dollhouses. It is clear that the author loves her subject.
This title takes an academic, but by no means dry, approach providing a great deal of history starting from the earliest houses in the sixteenth century when they were not children's playthings. That you will learn began more around Victorian times. Just a few of the intriguing chapter headings include Ann Sharp's Baby House, Dolls' Houses in Literature and Miniatures Move Outside: Model Towns and Villages. There are, additionally, an appendices; on includes places to visit while the other is offers suggestions for further reading.
This book is full of information and includes some lovely illustrations. The audience that this book was written for should very much enjoy this title.
NetGalley, Joyce Laudon
This was a fascinating and enjoyable read that takes the reader through the history of baby houses in Britain. For a non-fiction guide, rich in history, it reads with ease while teaching an amazing amount of information regarding baby houses.
The historical role of baby houses as educational tools, entertainment and displays of wealth is fully explored. The anecdotes provide a fascinating view into the past with the baby houses encapsulating a snapshot of each era. The author's love of the subject matter shows in the writing and the expertise shared makes this a must read for anyone interested in the world of miniatures, model villages or the history of toys.
NetGalley, Alexis Turner
Detailing everything one could possibly wish to learn about miniatures, this splendid book examines multitudinous examples of doll (baby) houses and their creators and owners as well as miniature villages throughout time from the 16th century Germany to the present. These miniatures are very important to us historically as they were often created in various eras of that particular time period, showing us personal slivers of what life was like, upstairs and downstairs. Of course some are created in the present denoting the past, too.
This book increased my knowledge on the subject exponentially. Though these intricate baby (small) houses were often designed for play they were also designed to educate children (mainly girls) in how to run a household as well as ways to display fabulous wealth. The latter cabinets were stored under lock and key as they often held valuable antiques and treasures.
I've been fortunate to visit some of the baby houses and am always amazed at the exquisite craftsmanship of the furnishings and meticulous details from baking food to toys to working electricity to table settings. My dad made us girls a doll house and it inspired my passion for miniatures.
I love that this book provides insight to those who owned these baby houses and later donated them so others could enjoy them. Also helpful is the long list of places one can visit as well as websites for further research (which has whet my appetite and prompted me to find out more). Not only that but this book also contains practical information on how to go about collecting.
Photographs are also included which really bring history to life. Beautifully done.
Those with any level of interest in miniatures would find this book fascinating, educational and useful. Highly recommended.
NetGalley, Brenda Carleton
This was a wonderful little read. I had a doll house growing up that my grandfather made for me. It was so neat and beautiful. We played with it and bought lots of furniture. Then while my family was in England we got to see Queen Mary's dolls' house. I was very interested to learn about the cabinet houses. I had never heard of anything like them but they were beautiful. And the fact that they were made for adults! I can see where the appeal is though.
NetGalley, Ashley Pohlenz
It was fun to read about how they didn't even start out as a children's toy (that came later, in the 19th century). A well-researched read for anyone who cares about dollhouses.

Q: Symfony2 FOSUserBundle relates to another Entity automatically I recently implemented the FOSUserBundle in my website as the login procedure. I want it to expand the Author class. So whenever a new user is registered via the FOSUSerBundle a new entry is created in the Author class. Inside the Author class I set slug, createdAt and other useful parameters. The field I want to pass to Authot entity from FOSUserBundle is the "Name" field. Then I want to cascade the FOSUser entity and if its deleted, delete also the Author entity.
So schematically FOSUserBundle.username => Author.name
I do not know how to implement this code except that it has a @ORM/OneToOne relationship. Any ideas please?

A: You'll have to insert the Author manually after your user registration is completed.  The FOSUserBundle provides a way to hook into events like post registration completion.  You can create a listener to the FOSUserEvents::REGISTRATION_COMPLETED event and create your Author entity there.
See documentation here: https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSUserBundle/blob/master/Resources/doc/controller_events.md
For example:
services.yml:
services:
    my_user_registration_service:
        class: MyBundle\EventListener\MyUserRegistrationListener
        arguments: [@doctrine.orm.entity_manager]
        tags:
            - { name: kernel.event_subscriber }

MyUserRegistrationListener:
namespace MyBundle\EventListener;

use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager;
use FOS\UserBundle\Event\FormEvent;
use FOS\UserBundle\FOSUserEvents;
use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;
use MyBundle\Entity\Author;

class EventSubscriber implements EventSubscriberInterface
{
    private $em;

    public function __construct(EntityManager $em)
    {
        $this->em = $em;
    }

    public static function getSubscribedEvents()
    {
        return array(
            FOSUserEvents::REGISTRATION_COMPLETED => 'addAuthor',
        );
    }

    public function addAuthor(FilterUserResponseEvent $event)
    {
        $user = $event->getUser();

        $author = new Author();
        $author->setName($user->getUsername();

        $this->em->persist($author);
        $this->em->flush();
    }
}

Booth's not-so-merry band of misfits
Captain J.W. Booth of the Confederate Secret Service resided in room 228 at the National Hotel in Washington, which just happened to be the same residence as the War Department censor because the city's only public telegraph office was directly across the street.
For six months Booth had been involved in a grand scheme to kidnap President Lincoln so he could be taken to Richmond in chains for a victory parade and then ransomed, but with the war almost over, that plot had suddenly become meaningless.
John Surratt, Booth's primary courier, was working closely with Booth on this grand mission-impossible adventure, and so were dozens of others. Their primary accomplices, however, represented a motley crew of misfits and the mentally challenged, with one cold-blooded killer.
After a mule kick disfigured his jaw, Lewis Powell volunteered for the Confederate Army at age 17. He became such a devoted killer, he carried the skull of one of his victims as an ashtray. After many battles, Powell was wounded and captured, taken to a concentration camp and escaped with the help of the Confederate Secret Service in Maryland. He joined Mosby's Rangers, where he became known as "Lewis the Terrible." Although the official story is that Powell deserted this guerrilla force and decided to move to Baltimore to pursue a new life, in truth, he was more likely just moved into undercover operations, and the biggest at the time involved the Lincoln kidnapping, a plot led by Booth. In January of 1895, they met for the first time, and Booth enlisted Powell in the plot. From that point on, Powell always referred to Booth as "Captain," and would show no hesitation following any command.
Booth and Surratt differed on the best plan of action, as Booth felt the kidnapping could take place at Ford's Theater because the back exit offered an escape into a maze of alleys. Booth's attention to spook-craft was amazing, and he probably got the idea of drilling a peephole in the door to the presidential box, as well as needing an improvised door-jam to prevent anyone from entering the hall leading to the box, all important details that would become employed for Lincoln's assassination.
Surratt insisted the attempt needed to be done outside the city, where they weren't surrounded by police and soldiers in all directions. This plot involved many changes of horses, as well as sabotage in their wake to slow pursuit—an entire squad devoted to felling tress and blowing bridges. Of course, the plot was immediately revealed to the War Department by one of its secret agents, Louis Weichman, an old schoolmate of John Surratt, and War Department employee, who abruptly moved into the boarding house, and started acting like a rebel. He begged to become an active participant in the kidnapping, but Surratt told him not possible since Weichman could neither ride nor shoot, while Surratt and Booth were expert at both. Weichman would eventually become the key witness against Surratt's mother, but would later recant the testimony and insist she was innocent, and then recant the recant in writing right before his death.
The only others involved we know of for sure were David E. Herod, who worked as a drug store clerk and followed the famous rising-star Booth around like a puppy dog. Herod reportedly had a dimished IQ and acted 11 years old, which is why he's usually described as a youngster. George "Andrew" Atzerodt was a German immigrant who'd recently been recruited because he had a rowboat on the Potomac, a boat needed for the escape. I call him Dirty Andy because he looks filthy in every photo. Atzerodt knew few details and was working for hire. He was a big-time drinker and and small-time blockade runner who was being put out-of-business by the end of the war.
On March 4, 1865, Lincoln was inaugurated for the second time on the steps of the Capitol and a photo by Alexander Gardner would later reveal Booth wearing a silk top hat in the VIP gallery, within spitting distance of the President as he took the oath of office. But in the front row of the peanut gallery on ground level nearest the President stand Powell, Atzerodt, Herold and possibly even Surratt disguised as a Union soldier.
This may have been another possible kidnap attempt that did not materialize. For whatever reason, shortly after this inauguration, Booth's plan shifted to murder, although it's not clear why. Lincoln had little fear of assassination during his first term because he believed any replacement would be worse on the South than himself. Yet right around this time, Lincoln began having premonitions of his imminent death, and seemed almost resigned to it.
Since the morning newspaper announced the President and General Grant would be attending a light comedy at Ford's Theater that night, this news boded poorly since Grant's presence would necessitate a higher level of security. Also, Grant was the national hero of the moment, and a rare sight in Washington, which meant all eyes would be on the box through much of the play.
The Metropolitan Hotel was just down the street from the National where Booth resided. On the morning of the assassination, Booth met with a prominent Jewish lawyer named Simon Wolf, head of B'nai B'rith. Wolf and Secretary of War Edwin Stanton were close as both were from Ohio.
Booth rented a horse for the day, and followed General Grant's carriage as he suddenly departed town, almost as if to make sure the General was not going to disrupt his plans for the evening. The general and his wife were disturbed by the rider in black galloping alongside and staring into their coach.
Surratt had left town, likely because he didn't want any part of Booth's new operation, but also because he may have had a mission to seed letters from Booth back to the War Department to make it look like Booth was headed to Canada.
Four hours after the assassination, the first detectives on the case marched straight to Mary Surratt's boarding house, which somehow had already been identified as the center of the conspiracy (though Booth had not even officially been announced a suspect yet). Meanwhile, the room Dirty Andy had checked into the previous day at the Kirkwood (and never occupied, as he already had a room at a different, cheaper hotel) was found stuffed with evidence implicating Booth, evidence that was initially strangely over-looked.
Meanwhile, although Booth was on the run for days, and assisted and aided by a dozen sympathizers along the way, only this little crew of misfits would end up hanged. And the cover-up might have worked, except Stanton tossed in Mary Surratt, and painted her as the evil den mother who hatched the plot. But the wheels on that hoax fell off, and knowledge Stanton railroaded an innocent woman onto the gallows destroyed his political career. He was dead within four years under somewhat mysterious circumstances.
A little-known fact about Stanton: he was found twice passed out at his desk and some speculated he'd acquired an addiction to opium. Perhaps, but his primary addiction was power. His first move as Secretary of War had been to move the telegraph into his office. His second move was getting control of the Union Gestapo, the National Detective Police (NDP).
In the first few weeks after the assassination, Stanton's iron grip matched that of any fascist dictator in history, and though he fought tooth and nail to maintain this power, it would soon all be stripped away, and he died a broken man haunted by the ghost of Mary Surratt.

Q: Convert string to normal text When I open one file it contains something like this:
It's that

What is this and how do I convert it to ASCII ?

A: This is HTML encoding, use WebUtility.HtmlDecode (in System.Net namespace):
string encoded = "It's that";
string decoded = System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlDecode(s);

A: HttpUtility.HtmlDecode() will do the trick.

A: Those are HTML entities. They represent ascii characters. You can decode them using HttpUtility.HTMLDecode().
If you're just trying to read this one line, you could also rename the file to a .html file and open it in your browser of choice. There are even tools that do this online.

A: The number between the &# ; is likely an ASCII code.
Convert the numbers manually or use the HTMLDecode to save yourself some time...

A: If you're using .Net Framework 4.0 or higher then the System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlDecode(s) will work.
I needed this solution for an SSRS report where only 3.5 was supported.  Since the namespace above wasn't available I went the alternate route of
System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(rawString)


'Enmei ("Long Life"): A Dance and Aging' Project brings together dancers and designers from the United States and Japan to explore what it means and what it takes to age as a woman in the field of contemporary dance. Artists Kei Takei and Masako Kitaura join forces with Mary Fitzgerald, Eileen Standley and Rose Weitz to create an evening of solo and collaborative works that examine how our respective cultures value and represent women dancers as they age. Using the dancing body as a site of exploration, Enmei investigates our unique cultural histories by collapsing the past and present, the personal and universal, the tangible and immaterial. In a series of three distinct sections that are both richly layered and stripped down, these works are a testament to the accumulated wisdom of the aging body, and a celebration of the human spirit.
'Enmei' features an original musical score created by Kotoka Suzuki. Guest performer Laz Brezer, Associate Director of Moving Earth, also will be joining the cast for these performances.
Direction/Choreography /Dance – Yumiko Yoshioka, Co-direction – Miguel Camarero, Costume – Pablo Alarcon, Light design/ technical direction – Spiros Paterakis, Music composition – Tomas Tello/ Zam Johnson.
A contemporary choreographer based in Japan, Kaori Seki explores the possibilities of the live encounter, engaging the audience's senses and evoking nostalgia and memories that are difficult to record. Previous dances have incorporated stimuli such as fragrances or fabric in order to awaken the minds and bodies of the audience. Like her company name "PUNCTUMUN"— a portmanteau that describes "a small, distinct point"— Seki, who is trained in classical ballet and modern dance forms such as Butoh, creates work that is meticulous, sensuous, and subtle.
Beyond the Box II ~ Yu(遊), takes another step and explores the roles of women from the confines of traditional Japanese classical dance where female characters are predominantly limited to subtle, contained, and subdued expressions. Up against this notion of submission, Yu boldly and creatively deviates from the accepted norm in traditional Japanese performance practices, the performers facilitate the meta-perceptual opportunity to embody the full range of emotional and physical expression, strength, and power, and subconsciously accepted standards for gender identity. Yoshinojo Fujima, Hokkaido calligraphy artist Natsuki Kubo, and the Reduction Ensemble, led by renown artist/creative musician Tatsu Aoki present: "Yu (遊)" as the concluding event of the Bridge Dance Festival. The performance also commemorates the first collaboration of the Chicago-Obihiro Artist Exchange.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad-Saeed al-Tabataba'i al-Hakim (; February 1, 1936 – September 3, 2021) was an Iraqi senior Shi'a marja, one of the Big Four Grand Ayatollahs of the Hawza of  Najaf and one of the most senior Shia clerics in Iraq after Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani.

Biography

Birth
Grand Ayatollah Saeed al Hakim was born in the holy city of Najaf on 1 February 1936.

Family
Sayyid Muhammad Saeed Al-Hakim was a member of the well known and highly respected Hakim Family of Shiite scholars. He was the son of Ayatollah Muhammad Ali al-Hakim, grandson of Sayyid Ahmad al-Hakim, and grand nephew of Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Muhsin al-Hakim. His second cousin, Sayyed Ammar al-Hakim led the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq, one of the largest Shia political parties in Iraq.

Education
He started his earlier education at the age of 5. His great father, Ayatollah Mohamed Ali al-Hakim started teaching him from the introductory subjects like Arabic language, grammar, logic, eloquence, jurisprudence and its fundamentals till he finished most of his intermediate studies. Further he also studied from his grandfather Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Mohsin al-hakeem where he attended a great deal of his Jurisprudence teachings. Ayatollah Hussein Al-Hilli and Sayyid Abu al Qasim al Khoei were also among his teachers.

Residence
Ayatollah Saeed al Hakim resided in Najaf, Iraq and taught many of the students in Hawza of Najaf.

Death
Ayatollah Saeed al Hakim died on 3 September 2021 aged 85 from a heart attack.

Assassination attempt
In 2003, he was targeted in an attempted assassination, when his house in Najaf was bombed. Three people were killed but al-Hakim suffered only minor injuries. He had previously been threatened that he would be killed if he didn't leave Najaf. Originally the Sunni fundamentalist Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad (who later became al-Qaeda in Iraq) was blamed. However, the bombing has also been attributed to followers of rival Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

Traders at mercy of S&P 500 cross-currents
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is reflected in a street vendor's mirror in New York, U.S., on Monday, March 5, 2018. U.S. stocks turned higher and Treasuries erased gains as investors speculated that President Donald Trump's tough tariff talk won't translate into the most severe protectionist policies.

Monday, March 19th, 2018 at Markets
For the 3rd week in a row, the S&P 500 Index reversed some or all of the prior week's performance
NEW YORK • This is no longer a market that mixes relentless gains with the occasional sharp downdraft.
For the third week in a row, the S&P 500 Index reversed some or all of the prior week's performance. This time it fell, albeit with 2018's smallest decline, after climbing 3.5% in the previous five days. It was a pattern of alternating gains and losses that has emerged just one other time in the past year.
The seesawing is a lens on investor psychology, underlining incompatible narratives that are developing in the wake of the S&P 500's first correction in two years. Bulls such as JPMorgan Chase & Co's Marko Kolanovic cite robust earnings growth as a reason to have faith in the recovery, while the White House looms as a threat. US President Donald Trump provided much of the downward impetus this week, ousting his secretary of state and blocking a US$117 billion (RM457.47 billion) technology deal as trade tensions simmer.
"The market keeps a careful eye on what is real and what is conjecture," Chad Morganlander, a portfolio manager at Washington Crossing Advisors, said by phone. "Longer term, we're facing a risk-off mentality due to political risk."
Another example of investor whiplash: The popular trade of buying banks and selling utilities, underpinned by hopes for higher interest rates, is unravelling right before the US Federal Reserve's policy meeting this week. Or look at technology shares: The market darlings were the worst-performing industry group on both last Tuesday and Friday.
The back-and-forth in equities is a departure from the better part of the past year, when the S&P 500 rallied with almost no interruptions until February. And during last month's sell-off, the direction was painfully obvious.
Indecision isn't limited to the S&P 500, which capped a four-day drop through last Thursday before paring its weekly decline to 1.2% in last Friday's session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 1.5% on the week, after an opposite move of about 3% in each of the previous two weeks. The Nasdaq 100 Index was down 1.1%. And the CBOE Volatility Index rose 7.9%, after sinking 25% last week to close below 15 for the first time since the February jitters.
The about-face is most pronounced in sectors linked to interest rates. Utilities and real estate, stocks with high dividend payouts, were the only winners among S&P 500 industries this week after suffering the steepest losses in the first 10 weeks of the year.
Meanwhile, banks — beneficiaries of higher borrowing costs — tracked Treasury yields lower. While a blip on a longterm chart of their relative performance, it's a headache to equity investors who have raised bearish bets against utilities this year while pouring US$4.3 billion into exchange-traded funds that focus on financial shares.
"The headlines have been interest rates, inflation and then really Washington," Jeff Carbone, co-founder and managing partner of North Carolina-based Cornerstone Wealth, said by phone. "We need to see some calm and some confidence coming out of Washington to deter market reactions on the negative side."
Trump's decision to impose tariffs on steel and aluminium imports hurt industrial stocks such as Boeing Co, without helping the plan's supposed winners. In fact, the NYSE Arca Steel Index fell for a fourth week, its longest retreat since November, as Goldman Sachs Group Inc analysts said a growing list of exemptions undercuts the benefit.
The administration's tough stance on mega-cap takeovers is also causing fallout. Qualcomm Inc dropped after Trump issued an executive order blocking Broadcom Ltd from acquiring the chipmaker. Monsanto Co paced declines among fertiliser producers as its planned take over by Bayer AG is said to have not satisfied US officials.
To Bruce Bittles, chief investment strategist at Robert W Baird & Co, the ups and downs in stocks should come as no surprise in a market where valuations have expanded to levels not seen since the dot-com era. With earnings season due to start next month, the S&P 500 is likely to go sideways until companies can convince investors that the profit rebound is on track, he said.
Analysts expect S&P 500 earnings to increase 17% during the January-March period, with growth picking up pace in at least the next two quarters, estimates compiled by Bloomberg show.
"We might have more consolidation," said Bittles. "And once the valuations catch up to their earnings, this will be a foundation for a further run."

Last month we launched our newest website feature: a monthly review of selected research articles. These articles are compiled using the Scoop.it publishing platform, which allows us to directly link our viewers to the recommended journal article.
Readers can view a short summary of the article and insight on its significance.
The articles featured are chosen from a review of all recent journal publications relevant to conservation agriculture. Each month, as we systematically curate CA literature for our RefWorks research database, we select a handful of articles that stand out from the most recent publications. These articles are recommended based on several qualities, including implication of findings, originality of research theme, and rigor of research design and methods. Topics often include the potential of CA for smallholders in Africa, the role of inputs in CA, the impact of CA on climate change resilience and soil carbon sequestration, soil and water resources as impacted by zero-tillage and cover cropping practices, and more.
Our RefWorks research database contains over 2,000 publications on CA.
This review aims to keep everyone interested in CA, be it farmers, researchers, policy-makers, students, extension-workers, updated on recent developments in conservation agriculture research. With this review, we also hope to draw viewers to our extensive research database of over 2,000 articles on CA. This incredible resource, which is the result of years of curation, includes Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Chinese language databases. If you'd like to look further into CA topics of the articles you read in our research review, a word-search in our database will lead you to other relevant publications.
The wealth of conservation agriculture knowledge published each month by the scientific community can be overwhelming in its entirety. Cornell Conservation Agriculture's Recommended Research Review seeks to make valuable resources easily available and accessible to the public. As a result, we hope to increase awareness of CA's potential as a sustainable agriculture methodology to address the social, environmental, and economic inadequacies of modern agriculture.
North Dakota university made history as the first in the U.S. to make no-till soil fertility recommendations for corn. As North Dakota's land grant university, NDSU's corn guideline has reaching implications for 3.85 million acres of corn planted in the state.
NDSU Extension Service recommendations could impact corn cultivation practices on more than 3 million acres in the state. Photo credited to NDSU extension.
The recommendations are based on no-till data dating back to the 1970s and over 50 test sites comparing fertility requirements for no-till and conventional tillage fields. NDSU faculty and extension agents explained this difference as the result of the associated increase in biological activity in no-till soil boosting stored nitrogen in soil.
The recommendations are an endorsement of a growing conservation agriculture movement in North Dakota. However while the release of these guidelines have generated excitement, it is unsure whether other land grant universities will follow NDSU's example. Funding that prioritizes research on the benefits of no-till and conservation agriculture practices is limited, and NDSU faculty cited it as the biggest impediment to changing the fertility standards in North Dakota.
Arnason, Robert. August 28 2014. New guidelines reflect benefits of no-till farming. The Western Producer. http://www.producer.com/2014/08/new-guidelines-reflect-benefits-of-no-till-farming/.
Especially in view of the current drought in California, which is estimated to cost the agriculture industry as much as $2.2 billion in losses, the increased SOM and lower soil moisture evaporation attributes of no-till could be enough to convert more farmers to no-till.
While the water-saving benefits of no-till could popularize the practice, the lag-time before farmers see these benefits could inhibit adoption of no-till. The increased herbicide usage associated with no-till could reduce its environmental and economic advantages. However some experts argue that, if no-till is practiced correctly, weed control is not an issue.
It comes down to whether or not the farmer is willing to try a new method of farming. And currently it looks like enough farmers are ready to put down the plow. No-till farming is increasing at a rate of 1.5 percent per year, and makes up around 10 percent of overall farm land in the U.S.

There are a number of great conservation agriculture conferences that are coming up within the next few months! They are a great way for professionals and academics involved in conservation agriculture and soil health issues to meet up, network with other professionals, gain a new perspective, and learn some new information about the world of conservation agriculture today. We highly encourage you to try to attend a few (or all) if your time permits! They are truly great opportunities.
This month, in just a couple of weeks, there will be a conference located in Kathmandu, Nepal from March 26-27 called "Frontiers in Conservation Agriculture in South Asia and Beyond" at Hotel Himalaya. This conference focuses on recent findings concerning conservation agriculture in South Asia, as well as other regions. They will have four themes that they will focus on throughout the conference; agriculture production technologies, economics, soil, and gender/food security/other issues. It cost $40 dollars to attend, as well as an additional fee for a field trip taking place on the 27th. Last day for paper submission is March 15th. For more information on the conference, see the link below.
There will also be a conference in Nakuru, Kenya, October 20-25 called "Transforming Rural Livelihoods in Africa: How can land and water management contribute to enhanced food security and address climate change adaptation and mitigation?" presented by the Soil Science Society of East Asia (EASSS) and the African Soil Science Society. It will focus on a number of different issues surrounding land and soil management issues within Africa. For information on paper deadlines, email soilseakenya@gmail.com. For more information, see the link below.
December 8 -13 there will be a conference located in Bangladesh called "Conference on Conservation Agriculture for Smallholders in Asia and Africa." Topics for the conference include machinery, weed management, soil/water/agronomy, commercialization/adoption/continuous improvement of CA-based technologies, and policy/institutional framework. For more information you can e-mail Professor Dr. Richard Bell <r.bell@murdoch.edu.au> or Dr. Md. Enamul Haque <enamul.haque@ide-bangladesh.org>. More information will be posted about the conference as it gets closer to the conference date! For more information, see the link below.

Indianapolis Colts cut linebacker Sean Spence
Published: Sept. 2, 2017 at 10:56 a.m.
New Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard won't hang on to his mistakes.
The GM jettisoned linebacker Sean Spence on Saturday, the Colts announced.
Pro Football Talk first reported the news.
The Colts gave Spence a $750,000 signing bonus this summer as part of their defensive rebuild. He was coming off a three-sack, six start season in Tennessee.
Parting ways with the linebacker was not a surprise, however. The veteran was quickly buried on the roster this summer, taking third-team reps.
While cutting Spence falls in the #notshocking category, it's a reminder that Ballard's roster rebuild is in its infantile phase. There will be more swings and misses than home runs -- that's how rebuilds usually work -- but at least the new GM provided us proof he's swiftly willing to move on from decisions that don't work out.
Follow all roster moves here.
