Gaunless Bridge was a railway bridge on the Stockton and Darlington Railway. It was completed in 1823 and is one of the first railway bridges to be constructed of iron and the first to use an iron truss. It is also of an unusual lenticular truss design.

Location
The bridge crosses the River Gaunless at West Auckland, Co. Durham.

Although never part of the main line, it was on a branch West of Shildon serving Witton Park Colliery. This branch included two rope-worked inclines at Brusselton and Etherley. Between these, wagons were pulled by horses, rather than the heavier locomotives. The bridge was only required to carry the weight of these horse-worked trains. Despite this, a postcard exists showing a locomotive of the 'Director' class on the bridge, possibly during a test or demonstration.

Design

It was designed in 1823 by George Stephenson, who was the chief engineer of the railway.

As well as being one of the first iron railway bridges, the bridge is the first to use the lenticular truss design. This design uses two curved girders in a lens shape, one above and one below. The upper member is in compression, as for an arch bridge, and the lower in tension, as for a suspension bridge. The idea is that this forms a balanced truss, where the sideways forces in each member cancel out, being equal but opposite in direction. This leads to a truss with no side forces on its supports and so only requiring simple piers with no need for endways stiffness. Vertical members connect the two girders and support the load-carrying deck of the bridge. These vertical members must also transfer some load between the two girders, as to maintain their lens shape. An efficient truss distributes the load of the deck between the two girders, rather than placing the majority of the load on one truss member, and so requiring it to be excessively strong compared to the other.

The lenticular truss design has been used for other bridges since, but has never gained popularity in use. Brunel later made use of this truss, as the Brunel truss used at Chepstow and Saltash. The Gaunless Bridge is particularly unusual, as its wooden deck is installed above the truss girders; whereas in most lenticular trusses, the deck is hung beneath the trusses on rods or cables.

Although not as sceptical or rigorously investigative as Brunel, Stephenson had a deep understanding of the different strengths of wrought- and cast-iron. Both girders are formed of wrought iron tubes,  in diameter. The unusual feature of this bridge is that because the deck is above the truss, the vertical members are placed in compression, rather than the more normal tension. This allowed Stephenson to use cast iron for the vertical members, rather than the more expensive wrought iron needed for bridges in tension. The truss achieves an efficient symmetry of the load distribution between the two members, giving an economical and balanced appearance that is in great contrast to Brunel's heavily unbalanced designs that (for Chepstow at least) are barely recognisable as lenticular.

Each span is  wide and  deep. The piers supporting the truss spans form a trestle comprising two inward-leaning cast iron tubular pillars. The pillars are braced apart by a cast iron X-frame. These pillars are  in diameter with  thick walls, They are  apart at the base, sloping in to  at their top.

The bridge was originally built with three spans, but was later extended to four spans, to allow more space for floodwater. Unusually, the bridge has five metal piers for its four spans, with the weight of the ends of the outer spans resting on iron pillars, rather than on the adjoining stone abutments. These additional pillars make the bridge spans self-supporting, even in the absence of the stone abutments. This may have been a factor in the bridge's preservation off-site and re-display in railway museums since, as it is relatively easy to re-erect the bridge without needing expensive foundations.

History
The original three span bridge was fabricated by John & Isaac Burrell of Orchard Street, Newcastle, adjacent to Stephenson's own works at Forth Street. Its erection was completed on 23 October 1823,

The winter of 1824 had heavy snows and even before the line was opened, the bridge was damaged by flooding. It was rebuilt to its later four span form in 1825, in time for the opening of the line in September.

Passenger services were introduced on line from 1833, and steam locomotives across the bridge soon afterwards.

A presentation model of the Gaunless Bridge was made for the North Eastern Railway in 1875 to mark the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Stockton and Darlington Railway. It may be seen today in the Science Museum, London.

Removal and preservation

By 1901 the bridge was overloaded by the increasing weight of coal wagons. It was dismantled and removed, but kept in storage at Brusselton Colliery. The original stone abutments were kept, although with recesses cut into them to accept new plate girders. When the York Railway Museum was opened at Queen Street in 1927, the bridge was re-assembled in commemoration of the centenary of the S&DR. Since 1975, it has been on display in the car park of the National Railway Museum, York, for many years carrying a coal wagon of the original chaldron style. The bridge has now spent longer on display as a museum artefact than it did in service as a bridge.

In February 2023 Historic England awarded Durham County Council £161,000 to repair the abutments, which remained in situ when the original bridge was deconstruted. The repair works will add a new bridge deck intended to join the bridge into a wider Stockton and Darlington Railway Walking and Cycling route.

Comparable bridges

The lenticular truss was never a common design and Stephenson's compression truss beneath the deck even rarer. A still-extant near-contemporary example is only a couple of miles North of Gaunless Bridge. This was built in 1842 as a skewed accommodation footbridge across the Bishop Auckland and Weardale Railway near Escomb. Today it carries a bridleway.
The bridge comprises a single span pair of lenticular girders, although in this example both girders and verticals are of wrought iron. The upper member is a rolled H girder, the lower chain of forged bar chain links.

Escomb bridge is Grade II listed and was refurbished in 2009, with its wooden parapet being raised for modern safety standards.

The Passing Of A Consett Legend
Alan Waters 14/9/1955 - 27/11/2020
As a club, we are heartbroken to share the news that our former Chairman, Alan Waters, sadly passed away on Friday 27th November.
Alan had been bravely battling cancer following his recent diagnosis, and although his disease was terminal his sudden death was due to him contracting Coronavirus late last week.
Alan was a much loved member of the club which he did so much for, and I'm sure you'll all agree he will leave an enduring legacy. Alan had been a member of the club for around 40 years. During his time at the club, Alan spent 23 years on the committee, 8 of which he was secretary and 14 of which he was the chairman. During his time on the committee he did so much for the club, for which we are all very grateful. Alan provided strong leadership as Chairman, whilst also supporting the day to day running of the club, often completing the unseen and unacknowledged tasks. His hard work undoubtedly secured the future of the club over many years. He always went about his business for us with enthusiasm and a smile on his face, it was these traits, amongst many others, which made him so popular with the members.
As a player he will always be remembered for his unique bowling style, one that regularly saw him top the charts in the second team averages or come pretty close to it as well as scoring valuable runs via his famous cover drive. He had only recently retired from playing having done so until his back and knees told him they could take no more.
His family have always been an integral part of the club too, his wife Susan, his son Andrew, who is a former first team captain, and son in law Stephen, who is a regular member of the Academicals side on a Sunday. Alan was proud that both his sons and grandchildren were keen cricketers and supporters of Consett Cricket Club.
We as a club are devastated by this news and would like to offer our sincerest condolences to all of his family and friends.
Alan was one in a million and he will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him.

God's Recipe is Always Perfect! - Your Daily Cup of Inspiration!
God's Recipe is Always Perfect!
Spinach Dip is one of my favorite appetizers, but I don't eat it very often because it's pretty calorie-rich. The recipe I most enjoy calls for generous amounts of sour cream (You can substitute Greek Yogurt for the sour cream for a lower fat option.) and mozzarella cheese, so there's plenty of fat in this dish.
Well, Saturday, the mood struck me and I just had to have some Daily Cup family.
Since my husband Kenya was heading off to the store to grab a few items, I added the ingredients I needed to make my beloved dish to his list. When he returned, I could hardly wait to get started whipping up the creamy, delightfully good concoction.
First, I thawed and drained the spinach. Then I emptied the sour cream from the container into a separate bowl and began pouring in the Lipton® Recipe Secrets® Vegetable Soup Mix.
At least that's what I thought I was pouring in until I noticed that the powdery substance looked and smelled different. A bit confused, I picked up the box and read it for the first time.
"Oh no!" I shouted out reflexively. Kenya had purchased Lipton® Recipe Secrets® Savory Herb with Garlic Soup Mix. It was the wrong flavor—one I happen to detest—and I hadn't noticed until it was too late.
Although he did grab two boxes of Lipton Soup, one of which was the vegetable soup mix I prefer, I had already added a packet of the herb and garlic flavor.
I was totally bummed about it, but I wasn't about to throw everything away. "I'm psyching myself up right now," I told my husband, "because I'm eating this and I'm going to like it." We made a pact that we both would eat the dish, no matter what. So I went ahead and mixed the flavors.
Then, after everything was prepped and ready to go into the oven, I dipped the tip of my finger in to taste the spinach dip again.
"Yuck," I winced and shook from disgust.
About an hour later, it was done and I was determined to force it down my esophagus into my stomach. So I scooped the steaming hot dip out of the pan and onto a plate, stuck a nacho chip in it, and bit down.
To my surprise, it was de-li-cious!
It was the kind of delectable flavor that makes you involuntarily close your eyes and say "Mmmm," and tell everyone else, "No, I'm serious. You've got to try this." Even the kids, down to the most finicky of the four, liked the dip.
Kenya and I both agreed the accidental recipe gave our original and favorite some new competition. I have officially named my newest mixture "Serendipitous Spinach Dip" because it was a happy accident that turned out wonderfully in the end.
In our walk with the Lord, unlike fallible humans that stumble into things, with God, there is no such thing as serendipity. There is only divine destiny. Everything is strategic, predestined, and purposeful.
Even when we go through changes that seem unpleasant and appear to be a recipe for disaster, God has knowledge of the end from the beginning. He knows the conclusion of the matter and how things will be resolved. While you and I are still baffled by issues, circumstances, and seeming setbacks, the Lord is fully aware of the outcome.
God's recipe for our lives, though a mixture of pain and pleasure, is always just perfect in the end. If we submit to His will and way, He can take unfavorable ingredients, blend them with His favor, and create something great that far exceeds our expectations.
His methods are certainly not like ours and yet, God does all things well.
So today, if things seem to be out of sorts in your life and you're momentarily going through unpleasant changes, know that God is up to something. He is still in control and when He gets through, everything will come together.
God's recipe is always perfect! Just wait for the outcome.
Father, I thank You for reminding me that You are in control of my life even when my path is not clear. Through difficult seasons of uncertainty and challenging times of turmoil, please help me never to lose confidence in Your sovereignty. Right now, I praise You for full assurance that Your way is best and for the understanding that You do all things well. My life is Yours, oh Lord and so I pray for grace to trust You more. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Heavy rainfall forecast for Kerala, Tamil Nadu as cyclonic storm likely over Arabian Sea: IMD
The depression over southeast and adjoining eastcentral Arabian Sea is very likely to intensify further into a deep depression during next 12 hours and into a cyclonic storm during subsequent 24 hours.

A deep depression, expected to turn into a severe cyclonic storm, over the Arabian Sea is likely to bring rainfall to Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Puducherry and the Lakshadweep archipelago during next 24 hours, the India Meteorological Department said Sunday.
After turning into a severe cyclonic storm, it is likely to cross the coasts of Oman and Yemen, the IMD said.
The Coast Guard has said it has put its formations on high alert and its dornier aircraft and ships have been deployed off Kerala, Lakshadweep and Minicoy islands, and south Tamil Nadu seas.
"A high-level meeting was conducted at Kochi and Lakshadweep with district and Union Territory Administration to assess preparedness and meet any cyclone related contingency. Specific disaster contingency and preparedness meetings were held all the Lakshadweep and Minicoy islands," the Coast Guard said.
The sea condition would be "rough to very rough" during next 12 hours. An advisory has been issued to fishermen at sea to return to harbour, the Coast Guard said.
"Fishermen are advised not to venture into deep sea areas of Lakshadweep area during next 12 hours," the IMD said.
Another low pressure area over southeast Bay of Bengal and adjoining north Andaman Sea is very likely to concentrate into a depression during next 24 hours. It is "very likely" to move northwestwards towards Odisha coast during next 72 hours, the IMD said.

A culmination of over 36 years experience of blending the self-control, discipline and personal growth of Traditional Taekwon-Do, Hapkido, and Karate with psychology, psychotherapy, and hypnosis.
The Anger Management Program that I offer is the most unique, in depth, personal growth and life skills experience in the tri-county area.
Cognitive-Behaviorally based, the subjects presented are a powerful combination of intensive training and experience. I have taught over 5000 martial arts students over a 38-year period and over 5000 anger management clients over the last 20 years.
Using the ancient warrior philosophies combined with modern psychological theory, the educational process that occurs in my classes is very comprehensive. My 32 years experience with the design and implementation of Anger Management Programs has given me the expertise needed to make a dynamic impact in the anger management field.
The complex anger management issues faced by most people require insightful effort, timing and commitment to reach the depths needed to effect permanent change.
You will achieve a deep level of fundamental change, emotional awareness, and powerful emotional control skills.
The Korean Symbol, "Do" symbolizes "way", written as "Tao" in Chinese. Do signifies a disciplined path to truth and perfection of the human condition. Since perfection is an unattainable goal, it is the quality of the journey upon which "Do" focuses. In essence, it enables us to stay in the "now", with all our senses and awareness to achievement of greater maturity and safety in the world in which we live.

DOT study supports new I-95 exit in Stratford
Tuesday, August 18, 2015 9:47 PM EDT
The state Department of Transportation released an impact study Tuesday that dealt a blow to groups opposing a major new Interstate-95 interchange in Stratford.
The study concludes that the project will have little negative impact.
Residents of the Devon neighborhood in nearby Milford say the interchange could turn their area into a "ghost town."
They say that local traffic will remain on the interstate, potentially hurting the 65 businesses in the area.
The plan would install a new exit leading to I-95 southbound at Ferry Boulevard in Stratford.
"It's going to take stress away from Exit 32," says Stratford Mayor John Harkins. "It's going to help the West Broad Street area."
The DOT says that the project will not hurt the businesses along Route 1 in Devon as it diverts traffic from the area. About 60 percent of those businesses are "by appointment," according to the study, and most of the rest cater to local customers, not I-95 motorists.
But former state House Speaker Jim Amann criticizes the DOT both for this plan and other plans that he says have failed in the past.
"They've been wrong a million times, and they're wrong again," Amann says. "I don't trust the Department of Transportation to tell what the economics are in our community."
On the other hand, state Rep. Kim Rose says she found that an overwhelming majority of Stratford voters supported the idea.
Phil Young, the chef at Bridge House Restaurant, says less traffic might actually help business.
"Often times, we have 10,000, 15,000 cars going by a day," Young says. "And honestly, we'll have two people in the restaurant."

Sarah Palin's Cash Grabbing Book Tour Redux
Watch your mouth, young lady!
Here we go again. The Sarah Palin Travelling Book Tour and Money Grab is preparing for its next junket. The former ex-quitting half-term Governor of Alaska has announced that she will travel to 13 states in 11 days, including Iowa and South Carolina, sites of early presidential battles, according to a schedule provided to CNN by the book's publisher, Harper Collins. Palin needs to raise money by means of these book signings because rumor has it that her private library was destroyed by fire last week and both books were lost before she could even finish coloring them.
Palin's new book will be unleashed upon the unsuspecting public on November 23, 2010. This time however, there will be no question as to who actually wrote the book. You might recall that the educationally limited Palin was forced to employ a ghost-writer to pen her last tome. Palin has elected this time to dispense with the subterfuge (and criticism of the use of a ghost-writer) and simply release a book filled with the written works of others.
That's right, in America By Heart, the former half term ex-quitting governor of Alaska, Fox News consultant and Reality TV host will reveal the sacred and personal nature of her love for our nation by simply pasting together a buffet of sermons, poems, speeches and essays which were authored by other people. Palin claims that these written pieces are the ones that "have moved her". As HarperCollins puts it, the book will include…
"the nation's founding documents, to great speeches, sermons, letters, literature and poetry, biography, and even some of her favorite songs and movies." (Favorite songs? Do you think she might include any of the Lynnrockets parodies?).
Seriously, would Sarah Palin ever dare to honestly reveal to the world the readings, sermons, songs and movies that inspired her? For example, will she tell us about the sermon that inspired her to have the witches driven from her body in that Youtube clip that everyone has seen? Will she reveal that the film Ferris Bueller's Day Off inspired her to skip so many classes that it took her over 6 years to earn a mere bachelor's degree from a series of second rate colleges? Will she actually admit that she was inspired by the little known book, Sarah, Plain and Stupid? Will she explain how the "founding fathers" of the secessionist Alaska Independence Party (the AIP) inspired her to promote the party when she was Governor (and inspired "First Dude" Todd to actually register with the Party)? Would she ever dare to fess-up to the fact that her post-governorship career was inspired by the song, "Barbie Girl" (if you are not familiar with this song, click here)? Good grief!
Lynnrockets' Blast-Off believes that it is our civic duty to warn the citizens of America as to when the Sarah Palin train wreck may be headed their way. To that end, here is her travel itinerary:
Nov. 23: Phoenix, Arizona
Nov. 26: Tulsa, Oklahoma
Nov. 27: Norfolk, Nebraska
Nov. 27: Des Moines, Iowa
Nov. 28: Andover, Kansas
Nov. 28: Dallas, Texas
Nov. 29: Houston, Texas
Nov. 29: New Orleans, Louisiana
Nov. 30: Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Nov. 30: Little Rock, Arkansas
Dec. 1: Brentwood, Tennessee
Dec. 1: Lexington, Kentucky
Dec. 2: Spirit Lake, Iowa
Dec. 2. Carmel, Indiana
Dec. 3: Cincinnati, Ohio
Dec. 3: Columbia, South Carolina
You have now been forewarned. If you want to avoid Sarah Palin and her hypnotized, brain-dead, zombie-like worshippers, mark your calendars now so that you can "get out of Dodge". Perhaps the sane residents of each of these cities and towns can take a page from our famous "forefathers" that Palin likes to reference so often and appoint a reliable Paul Revere-like patriot who can race through town shouting, "The Palins are coming! The Palins are coming!" At the very least, the air-raid sirens should be utilized.
In honor of the troops, please click on the song link below to familiarize yourselves with the tune and to have more fun singing along with the song parody.
On The Road Again song link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TD_pSeNelU
(sung to the Willie Nelson song "On The Road Again")
Sarah can't wait to get on the road again
The life she loves is taking money from her friends
Palin can't wait to get on the road again
Goin' places that she's never been
Palin thinks that she's campaigning once again
So she's stealing dough from all her brain-dead friends
Like a band of gypsies, Palins ride the highways
Grifting never ends
Persisting like a plague that's coming our way, yes our way
She says its great to just "reload" again
Good Lord above will Palin's grifting never end?
(Fox News love-in break)
Just those Palin pip-squeaks always talking sideways
Every word offends
Insisting that the world keep turning their way, yes their way
She's on the road again –
And she can't wait to get on the road again

Sarah Palin Is A Halloween Scream
Sarah Palin after learning that she is less popular than Michele Bachmann
It now appears that there is hope for all attendees of five or six colleges before obtaining any kind of a degree and to those who have lost elections and then quit their jobs. All they need do is simply have their memoirs ghostwritten and then sold to Harper-Collins Publishing. That course of action should land them a $ 1.25 million advance as it did for Sarah Palin, the former ex-quitting governor of Alaska.
The book is titled, Going Rogue and will be released on November 17, 2009. Problem is, the tome is already being heavily discounted and is sure to be found in the discount bins of most book stores after the holidays. Will the publisher be looking to recapture some of that advance from Palin should book sales flop? Alternatively, will Palin write a quick supplemental chapter to counter the most recent accusations of her former future son-in-law, Levi Johnston on this morning's edition of CBS Early Show? Such as:
There are some things that I have that are huge. And I haven't said them because I'm not gonna hurt her that way … I have things that can, you know — that would get her in trouble, and could hurt her. Will hurt her. But I'm not gonna go that far. You know, I mean, if I really wanted to hurt her, I could, very easily. But there's — I'm not gonna do it. I'm not going that far.
Johnston also expanded upon his earlier contention in a Vanity Fair interview that Palin would refer to her Down syndrome child as "retarded."
I was just in shock for the first time I heard it, and then she'd say it regularly. And I think she was joking, but it doesn't make it right.
That does not reflect kindly upon Palin who very frequently in public appearances would use her son Trig as an example for kinder and more understanding treatment of children with special needs. It also calls into question her perhaps feigned, if not misguided, outraged reaction to a Photo-shopped illustration of her cradling a baby with the face of a conservative Alaskan radio personality on the basis that it was insulting to special needs children. Also regarding son Trig, Johnston said that Palin's daughter Bristol performed most of the mothering.
Johnston did not however, unleash any bombshells about Palin, although he did let it be known that he still has plenty of ammunition.
Those are just little … things I put in Vanity Fair. You know, all the big things I got, I'm keeping — you know, i'm keeping them in, and — you know, it's just something that probably will never come out.
Will it never come out? Perhaps Johnston is just holding back the big stuff for either future leverage against his once and future mother-in-law or as an enticement for some hush-up money. The plot thickens. The second segment of the Early Show interview will air tomorrow.

WITCH GIRL III
(sung to the Hall & Oates song "Rich Girl")
You're a witch girl, up in A-las-ka
And it's getting worse for you every day
You can perform like a Playboy Bunny
You're a stitch girl? Cuz you're quite bizzare
So we really wish you would go away
Pray, Honey that we don't send you too far
Send you too far
And don't you know, don't you know
That it's wrong to preach politics of hate
You're so far gone, so far gone
Lil' Miss Caribou you belong in a zoo
Todd should be in there too
'Cause
You're a witch girl and you're no big star
And mascara won't help you hide your age
You can go on wearing rimless glasses
There's a hitch girl, you're a has-been now
And the voters have all left and turned the page
The pitbull is a pig with lipstick now
Now say "Bow Wow"
Not too bright, a bit insane
It's so sleazy, to damn others just because they complain
Those little fools and their ethics rules
They just get in your way and impede your payday
They will rue the day, oh…
You're a witch girl, and you've gone too far
But that defense fund should help to pay your way
You can rely on that SarahPAC money
You'll be a rich girl with a brand new car
And then you'll move your family far away
Save money but it won't get you too far
Get you too far
And you say
You can rely on the SarahPAC money
You're a rich girl, a witch girl
Oh, you're a rich bitch girl yeah
Say money but it won't get you too far
Oh, get ya too far

So last month I wrote up a post talking about my morning self care routine and it quickly became one of my most popular posts!
I loved reading everyone else routines and have even ended up taking a few of the tips other people suggested and putting them in mine. They haven't all worked for me, but it's always interesting to try new things that sound appealing.
When I wrote that post, I always intended to follow it up with my evening self care routine. I know some people might see having both a morning and a night time self care routine a little excessive, but this one isn't so much about self care as such; its more about grounding myself and winding down for whatever I've been doing that day.
In the morning it is all about getting me up, out of bed and motivated for the day ahead. At night its all about switching off from work mode; something I never fully manage to do in all fairness. I'm one of those people who's brain is always planning out new posts, photos, captions and ideas.
I'm pretty sure I even do this in my sleep. I once woke up with a whole blog post written out in my head including photo ideas, subheadings and a SEO friendly title.
In all fairness this is something I do the second I get home and I know I'm not going out again. The bra comes off at the very least and I'll usually get into something loose fitting, if I don't go all out and just put my pjs on that is.
One item I've especially loved wearing recently is this self care Hoodie that Sheffield Futures was kind enough to send me. They're a charity local to me that offer a wide selection of services for young people in all aspects of their lives and they've recently launched their Merchandise with a Message campaign, aimed at getting more people to talk about their mental health.
I love how comfortable it is (I always get hoodies in the next size up so they're nicely oversized!) and since its aimed at getting people to look after their mental health and take self care time, this is the perfect time to wear it.
Even though I already have a draw full of them, I'm thinking of picking up their Tote Bag and making myself a Self Care Kit; kind of like a mental health survival kit but filled with dedicated self care ideas like the hoodie, a book and a packet of instant hot chocolate + snacks.
Not only does this make everything I need easy to find, but I can just quickly grab it and take it with me when I'm staying at Chris's.
I don't really wear much makeup these days, mostly because I've never been able to master anything more than the basics. I'll usually just put a bit of foundation on (the No7 essentially Natural Foundation is my absolute favourite right now!), fill in my brows and add a coat or two of mascara.
Taking off my makeup is mentally symbolic for me- it's a sign that I can relax and start to wind down for the night. As I've already mentioned, I have a huge problem with switching off from work mode; so I try not to do any work once my makeup is off.
It's not easy to do and I don't always manage it, but it does help!
I use the No7 Beautiful Skin Micellar Cleansing Water and it's been great for my sensitive skin. Most makeup removers dry my skin out really badly, but this is really gentle and I've not had any problems with it whatsoever. I'm nearly three quarters of the way through my second bottle now and I'll definitely be picking another one up when I'm next in Boots.
This is the most important part of my nightly routine and can be just about anything depending on my mood. Some nights I'll want to relax so I'll curl up with a warm drink and read for a few hours…or most of the night knowing me.
If for some reason I don't feel like reading, I'll usually substitute a book for binge watching something; either my favourite YouTubers or something on Netflix. Although I've learnt the hard way why I shouldn't watching something like Criminal Minds too late in the evening; it can make for some very vivid nightmares!
Other nights I'll want something a big more engaging, so I'll go on the xbox. Some of my favourite games are The Sims (obviously!), Skyrim and Assassins Creed Origins; Skull and Bones looks amazing and I can't wait for Spyro to come out- don't expect much blog content in September as I'll be too busy reliving my childhood!!
I mentioned this in my little ways to practice self care every day post, but turning your phone off and having a digital detox can be so refreshing! Not just that but I turn my phone completely onto silent mode at night rather than on vibrate, and I turn my internet off too.
This stops me being woken up during the night by my screen lighting up or a loud sudden noise of a notification coming through. True its a problem if someone is trying to contact me in an emergency, but that's why I'm glad we still have a landline which people would call if they couldn't get me on my mobile.
What is your evening self care routine?
"What I've Learnt From Two Years of Blogging"
"How Turning Off Social Media Notifications Has Helped My Mental Health"
I always try to end my day by reading and getting my outfit/ stuff sorted for the next day to make the mornings less of a hassle!
These are great wind down tips! There is nothing like coming home from a long day, stripping and getting into cozy PJs that sets the mood to relax perfectly. A book is normally my go to because it makes me so sleepy at night. I loved this post! Thanks for sharing, Jade.
Love this post! It's so important to practice self care whenever we have time for it and an evening winding down is definitely perfect for it. My evening routine is a lot like this I only have a hard time to completely avoid using my phone but when I do it I sleep so much better.
Self Care is so important, and I constantly have to remind myself to switch off and take some time for myself. Love the post and your routine. Pinned!
I would love to turn my phone off for the evening, but I worry that something might happen to someone and they can't get in touch with me. I can turn off my wifi and data on my phone though, so I get a much needed break from social media!
Self care is really so important. So often we forget to take care of ourselves.
Its nice to do these during the evening for sure. Noting better then pyjamas, turning off the phone and reading a book or watching my favourite series ( currently american horror story).
What a great way to relax after a long day!
Sadly my evening routine currently extends to putting on pjs and watching Love Island.
Lots of little things add up to big things ☺ I've always hated how some people say you have to do lots of big, impressive things to practice self care- no everyone has the time, energy or ability to!
Love this post, Jade! I always make sure to have some "me" time.
Big big fan of No7 skincare also included in my day and evening skincare routine. I also take my makeup off and change into comfy clothes usually pjs when I get home it makes a big difference. I also put my phone in do not disturb.

Unanswered questions on French police role in Saturday "yellow vest" clashes
By Anthony Torres and Alex Lantier
The escalation of repression by the Macron government after Saturday's clashes with protesters on the Champs-Élysées in Paris, during the 18th weekly "yellow vest" protests, raises the most serious questions as to the government's role. No evidence has been provided that the violence was caused by "yellow Vest" protesters. But the Élysée is seeking to tear up the right to protest on the basis of these murky events, which sections of the state apparatus itself have attributed to far-right forces.
On Monday, the government announced that protests could be banned in areas where violence had previously occurred, if police declare that "extreme elements" could be present among the protesters. But it is precisely the question of the police's own role that is raised by Saturday's events, which saw numerous buildings set on fire, notably Fouquet's restaurant.
The police, which were filmed ransacking the merchandise store of the Paris Saint-Germain football club, are now threatening the "yellow vests" with a major escalation of violence. Frédéric Lagache, the general secretary of the Alliance police union which is tied to neo-fascists, called for the injuring of demonstrators: "We should be willing to clash with them and maybe cause some injuries. We're not going up against choir-boys."
Interior minister Christophe Castaner added: "On Saturday, on the Champs-Élysées, there were no Yellow Vests, just people acting in a logic of war who wanted to take back the Arc de Triomphe. There were 10,000 rioters on the Champs-Élysées." That is, the anti-riot police force just created by the government could treat all "yellow vests," including peaceful protesters, as looters to attack and injure.
This gross amalgam, concocted even as suspicions remain as to the role of police themselves, raises the most serious questions. Is the government using provocations organized with the support of elements in the police to justify an intensification of repression? These questions are raised by declarations from top figures in the state apparatus, who possess considerable information provided by the police and domestic intelligence agencies.
On Saturday, the Socialist Party mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, reacted to the violence by declaring: "What I saw tonight were extreme right groups who want to destabilize democracy, and groups of looters."
She also pointed to the responsibility of police for the violence that erupted on the Champs-Élysées: "It ought to be possible to take control of a situation like the one we just passed through."
Naturally, Hidalgo chose her words and took care not to express herself in a way that would raise questions as to the role of the state machine, of which she is herself an important cog. But it is necessary to ask the questions which are directly posed by such statements.
If far-right groups are indeed responsible, then which far-right groups are they? Who are their leaders, and who gave orders to set different shops and buildings on fire? Are there ties between the far-right groups that ransacked the Champs-Élysées, according to Hidalgo, and those, for example, who are now appealing the conviction of their ex-members for the fascist murder of Clement Méric?
Given the vast powers that the state has to monitor electronic communications and mobile phones, how is it possible that they do not know the identities of those responsible?
And if, as Hidalgo claims, the responsibility for the violence lies with far-right forces that threaten democracy, what conclusions should one draw about the role of the government? Why are Macron and his ministers silent about the role of the far right, besides the fact that this discredits their claim that the "yellow vests" and those who support them—some 70 percent of the French population—are responsible for the violence?
Is the government, which is largely unpopular because of its policies of austerity and militarism on behalf of the super-rich, using right-wing provocations to crush by force the opposition of workers and youth to its diktat?
An analysis of the remarks of the junior interior minister, Laurent Nuñez, on Monday with RTL, raises the same questions as the remarks of Hidalgo.
Asked why the police did not manage to turn back the looters, Nuñez replied: "In the pursuit of operations, we were less aggressive and less proactive than normal."
Nonetheless, he defended the record of the police forces: "The work of the police forces is absolutely not placed in doubt." But their work is in fact in doubt, as videos have been shared widely on social media showing police looting stores on Champs-Élysées. Nuñez's statements amount to a cover-up of the dubious and murky role of his own forces.
Given Hidalgo's allegations fn the role of neo-fascists on Saturday, the question is also raised as to whether the police forces' well-known sympathy for the far right played a role in their decision to be "less aggressive" against the looters.
Nuñez alleged on RTL that the popular hostility toward the use of rubber bullets, which have put out the eyes of dozens of protesters, was to blame, as it left the police demoralized and terrified to act in the face of violent protesters. This explanation does not hold water. In fact, the police actions on Saturday were both aggressive and proactive against the "yellow vests." It is against the looters that there was a demobilization of the police.
On Saturday, the Paris police prefect planned for the deployment of 5,000 agents, or approximately 40 companies of riot police, including 1,500 specifically tasked with arresting violent protesters. The day before the weekend, a police source confirmed to the JDD that it anticipated the presence of anarchist "Black Bloc" protesters who would "be looking for a fight." As a result, stepped-up police searches were carried out on roads leading to the capital city and also in Paris train stations in order to apprehend those police alleged to be violent protesters.
Police repression began earlier than usual at Saturday's protest, as police fired water cannon and heavy volleys of "incapacitating" tear gas from the military police's armored vehicles around 11 a.m. A helicopter overflew the Champs-Élysées district.
Despite this vast police apparatus, including barricades and police checkpoints set up all around the Champs-Élysées, masked and armed demonstrators were somehow able to reach the avenue and pillage the stores—which certain policemen appear to have begun to do, as well.
No serious investigation has been made of these widely reported facts, or of these statements by top officials, that together raise serious questions about the Macron government, the state and the entire political establishment.
But workers and youth have every right to politically oppose attempts to install a police-state regime violating basic democratic rights, and the ruling elite efforts to justify this by claiming thousands of "yellow vest" protesters are responsible for acts of violence that they did not commit.

Legislators Fret About Impact of Independent Expenditures
State lawmakers in both parties are worried about the flood of independent expenditures by outside groups during Tennessee's Aug. 2 legislative primaries, reports Andy Sher.
They see it as the first wave of a trend that could transform elections in Tennessee.
"It kind of perverts the system," said state Rep. Frank Niceley, R-Strawberry Plains. He was caught in a crossfire in his Senate primary by PACs run by the National Rifle Association and the Humane Society of the United States.
The two groups, often at each other's throats, attacked Niceley for different reasons. Niceley survived and won his East Tennessee GOP primary.
But several other incumbents who lost also were hit by independent expenditures, and lawmakers say the groups are having an outsized impact.
Mike Turner, the Nashville Democrat who heads his party's House caucus, said it is "scary that the average person will not be able to influence the elections as much as they once could because they could be overwhelmed by the super PACs."
Turner played down the impact on House Democratic incumbents in the general election but fretted the independent expenditures "have the potential to impact some of our challengers."
Vanderbilt University political science professor John Geer said such spending is common in federal elections since a 2010 U.S. Supreme Court decision.
In a presidential campaign, the spending may have less impact because voters know the candidates and their positions, he said.
"As you go down the ladder, they're going to have more and more effect," he said. "At the state legislative level, you can imagine them having huge effects" because even incumbents are not that well known.
The effect is most strong in party primaries where there is "not a strong anchor," Geer said.

Q: Show only 1 direction for Google Maps embed API For a school project we are making an application that can track the location of a garbage truck.
To calculate the fastest direction for the truck we are using the Google Maps embed API, but there is one "problem". The API returns 3 optional directions but we only need one.
Is there an possibility to show only one direction, or do we need the JavaScript API of Google Maps then?
Thanks in advance.

A: I suggest using the Google Maps JavaScript API. I am using it for my website and it works like a charm, with many functionalities.


The soundtrack is sublime, accentuating the straight six, without sounding too loud, or inducing any drone or resonance. Fitment was also really easy - it bolts up like OE!
The E36 was BMW's third-generation of 3-series and became a huge success for the company - partly due to the exceptional comfort/handling balance offered by its Z-axle rear suspension design and partly due to the aggressive but elegant front-down shape of the car that gave it the silhouette of a drag racer – just looking at the car you knew it meant business!
As a company made up of car enthusiasts, the Milltek team has owned a few E36 models over the years and jumped at the chance to develop a brand new product range for the wonderful Vanos-controlled M50 straight-six engine - in both 2.5 and 2.8-litre forms.
One of the main purposes developing the system was to use some of the company's 21st century exhaust engineering technology and advanced manufacturing techniques to produce a truly world-class exhaust upgrade for the 325i and 328i.
The new cat-back system offers good performance gains, exceptional fit and finish, a powerful but perfectly-judged sound enhancement and a look that's close to the original exhaust system but subtly enhanced...remaining faithful to the car's iconic design.
Paul Cowland, owner of the fantastically-preserved 328i seen here, self-confessed petrol head and presenter of Turbo Pickers on the Discovery Channel said: "The Milltek Classic system is a really nice compromise between the appeal of OEM+ and the performance of an uprated system. The fit is perfect, with the tailpipes really suiting the rear bumper of the E36. Just enough in additional size and style terms, without looking overtly modified".
* Applies to the original purchaser. Proof of purchase will be required.
+ We recommend having it fitted professionally by a Milltek Classic-approved fitting centre.

New Magpies: Sarah Richardson and Derrick Kapchinsky
By Mark Diaz Truman
As you may know, we had a pretty good year last year here at Magpie HQ.
In addition to the launch of our Chaos Worlds line for Dungeon World (The Last Days of Anglekite) and Epyllion early in the year, we wrapped up 2015 with the phenomenally successful Masks, marking our first six-figure Kickstarter! We're so grateful for everyone that backed, pledged, patroned, and supported us in 2016; you all are making a lot of great work possible.
But with all that awesome funding and backing and interest comes a lot of… stuff to do! We've got books to write, art to direct, and games to playtest. And that doesn't even begin to touch our marketing, shipping, etc. So much to do, and we often find ourselves wishing we had more hands to make the work light.
So… Magpie Games is expanding again! And this time, we have two new people to welcome to the team: Sarah Richardson and Derrick Kapchinsky.
Sarah Richardson has been working with us on several projects already, including The Cold Ruins of Last Life, but she's going to be officially joining us as our Director of Marketing this month! Since she's been operating as a freelance designer, illustrator, and layout artist in the gaming industry for the last couple of years, we're confident that she's going to get our games out in front of more folks, especially post-Kickstarter.
In addition to maintaining our social media presence, creating an email newsletter, and operating our blog, Sarah will be writing and designing game content for Magpie. You've seen her work in the Fate Codex: Volume 3, Issue 6 and Bluebeard's Bride—she's one of the core designers who brought Bluebeard's Bride to Magpie! We're excited to see what other awesome games Sarah is going to put out under the Magpie banner in 2016!
Derrick Kapchinsky has also been helping us out before joining the team, masterminding the shipping of Urban Shadows and other Kickstarters and joining us at GenCon to run games and staff the booth, and we're finally making his position official. Starting this month, Derrick will be joining us as the Director of Operations, handling shipping, accounting, and all the other behind-the-scenes stuff necessary to make Magpie Games work.
You'll probably also catch Derrick (and Sarah!) running games, writing articles for The Fate Codex, and generally posting/tweeting/talking about the awesome stuff we're up to around here. We try to keep our noses to the grindstone (ouch!), but we're hoping we can do a much better job of letting everyone know what we're planning throughout the year!
So… help us welcome Sarah and Derrick to the Magpie team! We're excited to bring them into the nest!


You've heard of "party poopers" well in the beginning we were "poop party-ers." See, you never fully appreciate the act until you're the parent of a newborn and knowing that your baby is #1 at number two means you are at least doing part of the job right. Because what they leave in that little diaper means they're getting all of nutrients and sustenance they need to grow into a mischievous toddler and eventually obnoxious teenager.
The first time "it happened" it was like "So You Think You Can Dance" in the nursery. Seriously, we busted into a two-person flashmob - the dog even took a break from updating her Facebook and joined in because we were so excited she thought we were praising her for something.
Well, we underestimated the sheer power and malleability of baby pooh. My husband had the misfortune of sleeping with the baby on his bare chest when this occurred.
Trust me a valuable lesson was learned from that experience. And that lesson would be to ALWAYS have a camcorder nearby—because the look of absolute horror on my husband's face was priceless and should have definitely been captured for posterity.
Okay Seriously?! How Does she manage to poop up?!WTF?!
Even though I'm bi-coastal, and every now and again I find myself on TV or radio I really pride myself on being down to earth and non-materialistic- which is quite a feat considering I'm bi-coastal, on radio/TV... and I grew up in Plano, Texas- where our unspoken motto is: It's not how you feel, but how you look.
That said, I cannot help but gush over my new über stylish diaper bag. I got it just over a week ago and I am completely in love with it.
This is JJ Cole's Caprice "Silver Drop" Style - I dare you to tell me this looks like a diaper bag.
Y'all if loving a diaper bag is wrong I don't want to be right. And if you seriously think my loving a diaper bag IS wrong then you've never been a parent with a diaper bag that was also your purse/backpack/wallet/wristlet/"murse" etc... 'cause guess what you trade all those cute designer things in when you have a bambino. Well, not anymore thanks to JJ Cole!
Like my own mother, I always wanted to be the hip cool well-dressed mom. I swear carrying this bag makes it easy since it goes with ANY outfit. Hellooo- a busy mom's dream come true!
I may leave the house without make-up on these day but I'm still looking cute with my JJ Cole Caprice Diaper Bag on my side.
I also seemed to be under the illusion that I could take everything I wanted with me for an outting. I had no idea how much baby stuff I was going to have to carry with me at one time. Now, the reality has set in.
Which if you are a new mom, you know that list includes but is not limited to: extra diapers, a spare change of clothes or two, toys, swaddling blanket, pacifiers, bottles, diaper wipes, a diaper changing cloth...I'm sure I'm forgetting something- but you catch my drift.
My old diaper bag really couldn't carry all of that but I pretended it could which is why it was rarely zipped up and I had stuff spilling out of the side pockets, which by the way didn't zip or close. So every time I bent over it was a disaster. I was a walking hot mommy mess. That was until the heaveans opened up and the diaper bag gods smiled upon me and I recieved this bad boy. With it's 10 pockets and super sturdy diaper changing pad you can't go wrong.
Let me just say that as soon as I walked into my lactation center aka "Baby Breastfeeding Bootcamp" all the moms looked my way and the first question out of their mouths was "Where did you get that?" I actually get asked that all the time now.
You too can don your very own fabulous JJ Cole Diaper Bag. You can find them online or in stores for the very reasonable retail price of $69.99 OR you can one for FREE by winning the Diary of a Preganant Comedian Giveaway.
All you have to do is leave a comment below telling me which style is your favorite and a winner will be selected randomly at the end THIS MONTH (April 2013).


Tourism business is rapidly growing like a grass. The quickly changing face of Seychelles' accommodation scene, by which new and renovated institutions are approaching line recurrently, is providing visitors with wider selection and larger choices in their collection of holiday accommodation. That is our company' favourite part of George City, in line with unbiased evaluations.
He sends out an email stuffed with strategies concerning the space every week before visitors arrive. However most relations work a 10- to 12-hour day from 6am as they could employ half-time service staff. It's in style for good cause: you possibly can hire an entire house, and even only a room, from locals in each new place.
Tram 24 departs from the Heidelberg central station; tram 23 departs from 'Bismarckplatz'; each go to 'Rohrbach Süd', the place you possibly can catch the buses 28 and 29 to the ISG Hotel or the Guest Houses as described above. Many meat free resorts and guesthouses have specialized in purely vegan kitchen.
With a tent or tenting hammock you can go absolutely anyplace and will at all times have a spot to sleep, allowing you to expertise remote areas that other travelers might keep away from because of lack of accommodation. Some youth hostels intention to make run a regionally-based mostly tourism industry by offering experiential packages special to the realm.
This works effectively for guesthouse, motels, and hostel suggestions because usually occasions a traveler has recently left the subsequent city you are visiting and should have found a sweet, household run joint that has yet to make it into the guidebooks.

According to Global Knowledge, the Labs facility will enable the company's advanced curriculum of courses to be delivered anywhere, using remotely accessed equipment.
The Labs are currently being used to support courses right across Europe and as far as Russia , Singapore , Australia , Brazil and North America.
Global Knowledge says the facility – which is located in the company's European Headquarters in Wokingham – is capable of supporting over 80 different courses and as many as 1000 delegate students simultaneously.
Richard Pryor-Jones, EMEA President of Global Knowledge, said: "Our Remote Labs infrastructure provides trainers with everything they need to run a full curriculum of Cisco courses. The lab environment has the benefits of emulating the real world.
"In today's global data centre, engineers rarely physically touch the equipment – the Remote Labs allows delegates to learn the skills to manage, monitor and configure equipment remotely from their desktop.
"The lab investment is providing fantastic support to our vendors and their channel partners by allowing advanced technology skills to be delivered in countries and regions where it is difficult to provide the right equipment on-site. A standard internet link permits access to the very latest equipment and provides delegates with a very high quality training experience."

I have some trouble emerging it, there's a binary package somewhere to bootstrap it?
builds and installs on native arm64 hardware.
As you say, I can configm that 5.12.0.226 can't execute mono.
The funny thing is that exactly the same version works fine on archlinux arm, maybe a different commit is checked out..
mono-5.12.0.226 cross compiles for arm64.
That took me by surprise since I was expecting it to attempt to run arm64 C# code on the build host.
Maybe it is caused by pie used by default in profile 17, i think i will go to the beach and try later something else ????????
I think there something related to pie either in the official or the overlay relatwd yo pie that is commented out.
I think the build system for newer mono is broken an arm64.
downgrading ncurses mono works perfecly but still cannot emerge the 5.12.
Apparently fedora 28 ships mono 4.8 and ncurses 6.1 so they must have backported the patches.
The best way to workaround that is to pass --with-csc=mcs to autogen.sh so it uses mcs instead of Roslyn.
I tested and mono 5.12 successfully compiles and works on aarch64 passing --with-csc=mcs, the mono sources shipped by gentoo are already patched for terminfo2, so that is not a problem, maybe I will try to patch the ebuild and submit a bug report.
