Parish Council Annual Meeting, 16 JULY 2018.
Five councillors, the clerk and 12 members of the public were present.
Matters Arising from the May 2018 minutes
School Parking – Cllr Skipper reported that he had spoken to one of the farmers of the land opposite the school, who was aware that car-parking would be desirable. He suggested that the council should also approach the owner of the land north of the school.
The clerk was asked to approach NCC Highways again to check what the attitude would be to a car-park in the various locations, as well as the owner of the land between the playing field and the affordable housing.
Footway between the Memorial Hall and the Shop – the Highways engineer had reiterated the previous reply that NCC would not remove the existing footway on either side of the road, as both footways are obviously used by pedestrians. If the footway was removed, pedestrians would walk in the road, which would not be acceptable, and for this reason alone Highways would not consider removing the footway.
Councillors did not feel that this was an acceptable response, especially as residents parked on the pavement adjacent to the cottages when they knew large vehicles would be passing. It was suggested that residents should get photographic evidence of vehicles mounting the pavement opposite, and vehicles parked on the pavement.
Vegetation in Honeypot Lane – this had been passed to a contractor and would be carried out on the back of the Public Right of Way (PROW) cut, which should take place in the next few weeks.
Contributions from the Public
A resident enquired when the bench would be installed at the junction of Mill Road and Crisp Road. The clerk confirmed that the parish council had completed its part of the process and would check with the funeral director that was making the arrangements.
A resident reported that South Norfolk Council said they had to leave their waste and garden bins on the pavement for collection, even though this made it difficult for pedestrians to use the pavement. The resident felt they had been given no option, as the bin collection staff were no longer allowed to take the bins from just inside their gate.
A resident of the Ellingham Mill area reported that lorries had been trying to cross the Waveney at the mill. Unable to pass between the wooden bollards, they then reverse over gardens and driveways. It appears that Norfolk County Council will take no action as it was the responsibility of the police to enforce weight restrictions on these roads.
The footpath from Ellingham to Bungay was overgrown – the clerk reported that this should be back on the NCC list of PROW cutting. The chairman offered to cut back brambles on Mill Road which had stretched across the footpath with his hedge cutter.
The Family Boot Camp mentioned at the last meeting would take place for a six-week period at Kirby Cane Memorial Hall from 29 July to 2 September, to give rural residents access to a fitness facility. It aims to inspire people of all ages to become more active.
Financial report and approved payments
As of May 2018, the balance brought forward was £17,226 (including this year's precept or contribution from central government). The largest approved expense was a total of £4,180 for new swings in the playground.
The balance was made up as follows: £2,500 towards the cost of future elections; £5,000 in general reserves; a £500 legal & professional reserve; a £1,000 contingency reserve; and £926.37 remaining of a grant to the Memorial Hall made during the financial year 2018/19.
Most rubbish was being put in bins and not scattered around the park. There had been no recent trouble at night.
ROSPA had done its annual inspection, and the playground committee felt it was a good report with most items Low or Very Low risk. The only High-Risk item was the skate park, which had paint flaking, but this had been reported to the supplier and should be dealt with soon. It was no danger to children using the equipment.
The junior swings were still in need of attention, but these were due for replacement imminently. The roundabout would be installed before the summer holidays began and an application had been submitted to the Kirby Cane Charity for assistance with the cost.
The Adnams charity awarded the council £1,375 towards the toddler swings. The junior swings had been replaced and the toddler swings would be installed the following week. The roundabout had been ordered and was due to be installed 1st week of August.
Funding for these items had come from the Tesco appeal, the "Love Norfolk" Fund, Lovewell Blake, Adnams and the Parish Council's donations for last year and the current year. This would leave approximately £1,000 spare to replace the surfacing beneath the original play tower, and other areas which were identified in the ROSPA report.
The committee hopes to install several more picnic benches/tables for the summer months and have approached Kirby Cane Charities for a contribution towards this expense. It may also approach local businesses to see if they were interested in sponsoring a bench with a plaque (Ellingham United Charities perhaps, Crossways, Grain Store, Olive Tree, Pizza places, etc).
The total amount raised to date was over £67,000 including the kind donations from the Parish Council. The committee's intention, after the above, was to spend any surplus on the picnic benches and then start another round of fundraising with a view to replacing the original play tower if necessary and/or to extend the skatepark. The committee thanked all the councillors and the community for their continued support in enabling us to achieve the dream of having the best park in the area.

She posts controversial photos on social media – El Financiero
9 months ago Cedric Manwaring
A social media post from China's top law enforcement agency comparing the country's successful launch of a unit in space with a grim crematorium in India has been removed after it sparked online criticism in China.
Pictures of the Tianhe vehicle launching and burning fuel were compared to what appeared to be a mass open-air burning in India, with the caption, "China is lighting a fire versus India on fire." The posting of the Communist Party's Central Legal and Political Affairs Committee on Saturday on its official Sina Weibo account was accompanied by a hashtag indicating that new COVID-19 cases in India exceeded 400,000 per day.
Later that day, the post could no longer be found. Several social media users in China expressed shock and anger at the insensitivity of the post.
"We hope that everyone will pay attention to the Chinese government and public opinion that supports India's fight against the epidemic," the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in response to a request for comment. The ministry's spokesperson's office added that more supplies will continue to be shipped to India in the coming days, which indicates China's support through practical measures.
Hu Xijin, the newspaper's editor-in-chief, wrote that official social media accounts should "raise the banner of humanity high at this time, show sympathy for India, and firmly place Chinese society on high moral ground." Global TimesBacked by the Communist Party, commented on the deleted post. Hu said such tactics are not a suitable way for official social media accounts to gain traffic.
"I don't think we can expect clarification from the account of the party in question, but I think there was no consensus on this post or it could not have been removed so quickly," said Mania Kotsi, editor-in-chief of the Mania Kotsi newspaper. What's on Weibo, Which is a site that tracks trends on the social media platform.
Relations between China and India have been faltering in recent months. A border dispute that killed dozens of people last year and damaged economic ties between the two countries sparked nationalist sentiments in both countries. Tensions continued despite ongoing high-level talks, with India recently urging an early disengagement from all sticking points along the border.
This did not prevent President Xi Jinping from sending a message of condolence to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday and offering to provide assistance to help the South Asian country deal with the steep increase in coronavirus cases.
Another deleted post that first appeared on Friday compared the Chinese "Mountain of the God of Fire", the name of the emergency hospital complex built in Wuhan, with a picture of a mass cremation in India on the ministry's official account on the Chinese public security website Weibo. It was also criticized, and social media users deemed it an "ethical problematic".
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said Friday that the Chinese Red Cross Society, local governments, non-governmental organizations and Chinese companies "are doing everything they can to collect supplies against the epidemic that India urgently needs and deliver them to the people as soon as possible."

Review of Higher Reach Learning Center on Dana Street, near Derby Street, in Berkeley. My son, Isaac, has been going to Higher Reach Learning Center (HRLC) sinc he as 3 months old. As I write this, he is just short of 4 years. When he started he was one of the youngest children there. Now he is one of the oldest. They are open from 8 am to 5:30 pm, weekdays. We've been leaving him there about 9 and picking him up at the end of the day. Each day he is eager to go to "school", and he is eager to see us at the end of the day. My wife, Isaac, and I are very happy with Higher Reach Learning Center.


For students in my Wednesday night class on The Holy Spirit: Handouts and Notes for Lesson 04 are now available online. Lord willing we will cover this content tonight at 6:45pm at Bellevue Church of Christ! The topic is John 14, 15, & 16.
This is the culmination of our daughter Kate's effort to reach the Gold level for Lads to Leaders (L2L) Centurion of Scripture for 2016. She is currently 11-years-old and in the L2L program at Bellevue Church of Christ (BCOC). The decision to be a part of this program was completely her own.
After two years of completing the Bronze level (2014 & 2015), this year (2016) she started with the goal of doing Silver level for Job. She completed this on September 18, and then made the decision to go for Gold. She completed Gold on September 26, which is the date of this video.
We are obviously extremely proud of Kate for all of her work in studying scripture and for this accomplishment. We are also thankful to her sister Sara and Mrs. Eva from BCOC for helping her study these verses.

FORMER Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams has said he thinks about his friend and political ally Martin McGuinness every day.
Mr McGuinness died aged 66 on March 21 last year after a short illness.
Speaking to RTÉ radio presenter Ryan Tubridy, Mr Adams was told Jonathan Powell, a former adviser to Tony Blair and the British government's chief negotiator on the north, used to refer to the two Sinn Féin leaders as good cop and bad cop with Mr Adams being bad cop.
Mr Adams replied: "I would like to think we were both bad cops."
He described his friendship with the former deputy first minister.
"I miss him everyday," Mr Adams said. "I miss him in the oddest of ways... like when the Sunday Game comes on because he would ring me or I would ring him."
Speaking of his recently-released Negotiator's Cook Book, Mr Adams said Mr McGuinness would have been "a wee bit embarrassed" by the collection of recipes, but that he "enjoyed the fare" that was dished up.
Asked about the vote of no confidence faced by British prime minister Theresa May, Mr Adams said she has been "amazingly resilient" but stressed that he disagreed profoundly with her on a number of issues and said: "the quicker that we don't have any British government involvement in any of our affairs, the better."
Mr Tubridy asked the Louth TD if he would have any message for people who would be furious at hearing him on the radio.
The presenter said: "People say 'How can you talk to Gerry Adams about a cook book when he had this past that is, to some people, unforgiveable?'"
Mr Adams replied: "They need to get a life... they need to catch themselves on. I'm elected, I'm very honoured to be elected by the people of Louth and East Meath. People don't need to agree with me no more than I need to agree with them."
The former Sinn Féin leader said he never considered running against Michael D Higgins in last month's presidential election and confirmed he had no plans to run again for office.
Speaking about regrets from his life in politics, Mr Adams said: "I regret that the conflict went on for so long. I think it was almost inevitable there was going to be a conflict so I regret that.
"I regret that so many people died in the course of the conflict. I'm delighted we're in a better place. It will have to be a matter of deep seriousness for a government to straighten things out post-Brexit and as someone who is proudly democratic that can be done only on the basis of the people of this island shaping out our own futures."
Mr Adams said he believed a united Ireland was not inevitable but that his party would like to see a referendum held "in the next number of years."

Yes, Mahjong is a popular board game played in China which involves four people. Find out how to play here.
weiqi
go, (Japanese), also called i-go, Chinese (Pinyin) weiqi or (Wade-Giles romanization) wei-ch'i, Korean baduk or pa-tok, board game for two players. Of East Asian origin, it is popular in China, Korea, and especially Japan, the country with which it is most closely identified.
Othello is similar in some ways to Go, an ancient game of Asian origin that involves placing black and white stones on a large board to surround an opponents' stones. It is also quite similar to Reversi, a British game that enjoyed a spurt of popularity in the 1890s.
Honor of Kings Over 200 million people play HOK monthly, with more than 55 million people in China alone; consequently, HOK is the most popular game overall the world.
At present, in terms of media publicity, chess is ahead followed by weiqi and then xiangqi. In terms of playing interest, weiqi still commands the lead followed by chess and xiangqi but it has been estimated that 10 million people have learnt to play chess by 2000.
Go has the same positive qualities. Pente and Othello (Reversi) look similar to Go, but are quite different games. Go has been compared to chess (another game I enjoy playing). Go is much more popular in the East than chess is in the West.
The Royal Game of Ur
The Royal Game of Ur is the oldest playable boardgame in the world, originating around 4,600 years ago in ancient Mesopotamia. The game's rules were written on a cuneiform tablet by a Babylonian astronomer in 177 BC.
In China, however, players prefer to play with single-convex stones because of the louder 'snap' the flat side makes when played on the board. They are also handy for flipping over when reviewing games and playing out variations. A standard set of Go stones has 181 black stones and 180 white.
1 Wei Qi (Go) 2 Chinese Checkers 3 Mahjong 4 Chinese Chess ( 象棋;xiàngqí) 5 Pai Gow (牌九; pái jiǔ)
1. One of the players, called Black, takes the black stones, the other player, called White, takes the white stones. Black makes the first move, then White, and so on in alternation until the end of the game. Only one stone can be played per move. 2. Stones are played on points on the board.
They were invented in Germany in 1892 with the original name "Stern-Halma", and is actually developed as a variation of the American game, Halma (more about Halma in Wikipedia – Opens in a new tab ), which was invented a few years earlier in 1883 or 1884.

Fine dining is a restaurant experience that is typically more sophisticated, unique, and expensive than at an average restaurant. The décor of such restaurants features higher-quality materials, with establishments having certain rules of dining which visitors are generally expected to follow, sometimes including a dress code.

Fine dining establishments are sometimes called white-tablecloth restaurants, because they traditionally featured table service by servers, at tables covered by white tablecloths. The tablecloths came to symbolize the experience. The use of white tablecloths eventually became less fashionable, but the service and upscale ambiance remained.

History
The precursor to fine dining started around the 1780s when health-conscious bouillon shops evolved into grand "Parisian restaurants like Trois Frères and La Grande Tavene de Londres". In France, César Ritz, a Swiss developer, partnered with prominent French chef Auguste Escoffier at the Grand Hotel of Monte Carlo. This became the first restaurant to offer "luxury accommodations and gourmet dining all under one roof". In France, fine dining became yet another way of aping the aristocracy.

Other luxury hotels soon developed across Europe.

The first fine dining restaurants in the United States operated in New York City, such as Delmonico's in the 19th century. The restaurant contained a 1,000-bottle wine cellar and remains in the same location.

My good friend Ken Braun is a senior investigative research at the Capital Research Center, where I'm a senior fellow. A former state-legislative staffer in his native Michigan, Braun has worked at several free-market think tanks and written widely about politics and policymaking, including philanthropy's influence on it.
He recently has conducted research about the role of establishment grantmakers and their nonprofit grant recipients in the massive and growing problem of homelessness in Los Angeles—a problem to which we at The Giving Review, for some time, have tried to pay attention for what it can teach us about the role and effects of certain kinds of giving. Last week, for the most-recent example, L.A. attorney Elizabeth Mitchell had a conversation with us about the issue, during which she said we need to "understand the negative impact of philanthropy."
Braun was kind enough to speak with me himself earlier this week. In the almost 17-minute video below, we use the context of L.A.'s homelessness dilemma to talk about the policymaking and societal risks of a "one-party" state like California's and its reliance on the research output, activism, and litigation supported by progressive philanthropy.
Braun and Hartmann
"The big thing to get at here is that California is a one-party state," according to Braun. "There's a problem there, where one party has pretty much been running the state for a while." It can
get away with more things, and I think the philanthropic sector gets into that as well. … Politicians are far more likely to listen to the philanthropic sector's concerns, and if it's a left-wing-leaning philanthropic sector, they're going to march to those orders. And I think that's a lot of what's happening in California.
Braun acknowledges the same risks with what might in some places be considered conservative one-partyism, too.
In the philanthropic context, however, he notes that its entire establishment is monoculturally liberal to progressive. He names some L.A. funders that are part of that culture, and have contributed—including financially—to the city's vexing homelessness predicament.
As shown by what's happening there, Braun concludes, "California is a 'perfect storm' of a lot of bad ideas."

Q: Is there a way to simplify these linq statements using an .Include()? Currently I am doing a keyword search on the Plates table (Name column) but also have a Search (searching on SearchTerm column) table which contains Plat Id's that I also want to search and return the corresponding platforms.
The code below works but I'd like to simplify the logic using an .Include statement if possible although I'm not quite sure how. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(request.Keyword))
            {
                var searchTermPlateIds = await _db.Search
                    .Where(x=> x.SearchTerm.ToLower().Contains(request.Keyword.Trim().ToLower()))
                    .Select(x => x.PlatformId)
                    .ToListAsync(ct);

                var plateFromPlateIds = await _db.Plate
                    .OrderBy(x => x.Name)
                    .Where(x => searchTermPlateIds.Contains(x.Id) && x.Status != PlateStatus.Disabled)

                    .ToListAsync(ct);

                plates = plates.Union(platesFromPlateIds).ToList();
            }

A: Remember simple thing, Include ONLY for loading related data, not for filtering.
What we can do here - optimize query, to make only one request to database, instead of three.
var query = _db.Plates
    .Where(x => x.Status != PlateStatus.Disabled);

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(request.Keyword))
{
    // do not materialize Ids
    var searchTermPlateIds = _db.Search
        .Where(x => x.SearchTerm.ToLower().Contains(request.Keyword.Trim().ToLower()))
        .Select(x => x.PlatformId);

    // queryable will be combined into one query
    query = query
        .Where(x => searchTermPlateIds.Contains(x.Id);
}

// final materialization, here you can add Includes if needed.
var plates = await query
    .OrderBy(x => x.Name)
    .ToListAsync(ct);

FGF signaling pathway Gene Set
Dataset PANTHER Pathways
Description The family of fibroblast growth factors (FGF) comprises 22 ligands classified into seven phylogenetic subfamilies and three groups by mode of action: the intracellular intracrine and the extracellular paracrine or canonical and endocrine or hormone-like groups. The paracrine subfamilies signal via the fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR), receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK). The endocrine subfamily is FGFR-dependent but the affinity towards the receptors is low and relies on Klotho family of transmembrane proteins. The intracrine subfamily is FGFR-independent. Overall, the pathway plays important roles during embryonic and postnatal development, neuromodulation, mineral metabolism and homeostasis. Deregulation of the pathway has been associated with neoplastic and metabolic diseases. (Pathway Ontology, PW_0000328)

When I was a little girl, I had a vanity desk. It was one of my favorite things in the whole world. As an adult, I have always wanted a beautiful vanity to sit at & try out makeup looks. Because NYC apartments run on the smaller side, it's not likely you could fit both a vanity & an office desk. So why not merge the two! This is totes what I did and now, not only do I have a fabulush (pink!) vintage desk to work at, I also have a place to apply makeup & store jewelry. When my apartment office redo is finished, I will totes share pics with you lovelies.
Dahlings, what kind of desk do you have in your home office?

As Chair of Governors at Eden Girls' School, Waltham Forest, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of you who view our website which is intended to provide you with an introduction to life at Eden Girls' School, Waltham Forest. I am immensely proud and excited about the opening of the school and contributing to its inception since the public consultation began.
The Governing Body's role can be explained simply. First, we act as employer to the staff. That includes appointing the Head and Deputy Head, and holding them to account for the school's performance and outcomes to ensure the quality of education provision. Second, we have a strategic role in acting as a "critical friend", providing support to the leadership and holding its decisions up to constructive examination in the interests of the pupils. Third, we ensure the school operates within the statutory and legal framework laid down by Parliament and complies with charity and company law as well the funding agreement with Government.
The Governing Body meets four times annually. Two key committees meet regularly: Education and Business. Each committee is minuted by the Clerk to the Governing Body and has either the Deputy Head or Business Manager in attendance in addition to the Head, who attends all meetings.
I and my fellow Governors are immensely proud of this school and the high quality of education that it will offer – not only academically but also through the Leadership specialism and the many enrichment opportunities we have planned in our pursuit of excellence. We are sure our parents share our passion to create the very best future for their daughters. I am grateful to my fellow Governors, who will voluntarily devote so much time and effort to make Eden Girls' School, Waltham Forest, one of the finest in the country.

Max Simon Nordau: "Deliverance"
Home } Franco-Prussian War } Max Simon Nordau: "Deliverance"
Excerpt, "Short Story Classics (Foreign): Volume Three, German. 1907. Edited by William Pattern. "Deliverance" translated by Euphemia Jones.
Max Simon Nordau (1849-1923), born in Pest, Hungary, was a Zionist leader, physician, author, and social critic. He was co-founder of the World Zionist Organization.
For an hour the first regiment of Dragoons of the Guard had been drawn up on level ground behind a screen of low bushes, waiting the order to engage. For some time the fighting appeared to have ceased around them. Only a shattered gun carriage and the ground pierced with deep holes, like newly dug graves heaped about with soft, yellowish earth, gave the land the appearance of a battlefield. But the conflict was evident enough to the ear. On all sides thundered the cannon, and from the right came also the rattling of musketry. The roar of battle rose and fell like the gamut of a great orchestra executing the "Storm Movement" of the Pastoral Symphony.
In the foreground, on a slight elevation, a group of officers attentively examined the French position. One of them, a Major, stood a little apart from the rest, smoking a cigarette and gazing into the distance. He might not, perhaps, have attracted a feminine observer, but a masculine eye would certainly have marked him as a man of striking intellect. About thirty, tall, slight, he had the coldest gray eyes; his face, pale, thin, the habitual cynical line of his lip just shadowed by a delicate auburn mustache. This silent, self-contained man had about him an air of strange listlessness and disenchantment — in every way a sharp contrast to the tanned, sunburnt young fellows who looked to him for command, and who now stood about him all on fire with eagerness for battle.
Removing his helmet, he passed his hand over his forehead. It was an aristocratic, well-kept hand, his fingers slender and bloodless. Even the uniform he wore could not disguise this individual of exceptional distinction: Prince Louis von Hockstein Falckenbourg Gerau, the head of what was once a family of reigning princes.
Early an orphan, the Prince came of age master of an almost unlimited fortune. From his mother, a musician of exquisite sensibility, he inherited an artistic temperament and keen appreciation of the beautiful; but like his father, a haughty and somewhat eccentric noble, he recognized no law but his own will.
No great effort is required to imagine how the world received the young prince. The Court distinguished him with special attentions; the ladies petted him; the men sought him out. In this hot house atmosphere of high life he came quickly to maturity, and, like most children brought up without companions of their own age, he was of a thoughtful, even suspicious, temperament. Critical, almost skeptical, by nature, he insisted on deciphering the finer points of every question. Yet unlike others in his position, he was not deceived. He recognized the attention paid him was merely homage to his title and fortune.
'What do these people really know of me?' Returning from another Court festival, he sought the solitude of his magnificent palace. 'Nothing, and yet they scarcely wait for my mouth to open to applaud my speech! While any man of sense would judge me not exactly a fool, but certainly little over mediocrity. Still, the world persists in treating me with deference.
Yet it's Prince von Hockstein who interests them.'
Others of rank and fortune might appreciate the attention, but not Louis. How he resented what others refused to see! To him, the princely masque was almost an enemy. ever thwarting and overshadowing the growth of the individual within.
Yet his noble ambition to prove himself was hampered; everywhere the Prince von Hockstein barred the way. When he enrolled at University, the most aristocratic set among the students hastened to pay him court. Even the professors, men whose genius until then he had revered, were overcome with joy when he appeared in their classrooms, and addressed their words markedly to him. He soon had enough of this, and tried the army. His colonel thanked him for the honor he did the regiment in joining it; his superiors paid him flattering attentions; his fellow officers bored him. Then, too, the pettiness of garrison life was not much to his taste, so he quitted active service, but not until he had been rapidly promoted to the rank of major.
Of course, all this time women had played some part in his life. There were a few trifling affairs with actresses and some passing flirtations with women of the world. These last he quickly found unbearable, for – except in being a thousand times more exacting – the great ladies amounted to no more than did the ballet girls.
One experience, however, came near being serious. The Prince, traveling incognito through the Black Forest to the watering place of Norderney, chanced to take a place in the coupe of the diligence next to a lady also going to Norderney. She was of striking beauty and fascination, and the Prince was completely bewitched. He exerted himself immensely, but his attentions were all received with courteous indifference. Perhaps it was this indifference – a new experience – which charmed him. Reaching Norderney, he continued to pay his court. He kept his incognito and simply called himself Herr von Gerau.
The lady was surrounded by a crowd of admirers, and accepted Louis' daily bouquets just as she did those of the others. She treated all her admirers with indifference, possibly to the Prince her manner was a shade colder than to the rest. At this critical moment, a certain great personage, an acquaintance of Louis, arrived at Norderney, and etiquette required the Prince to pay him a visit of ceremony in full dress uniform. His name and rank could be concealed no longer. The fair lady beheld her admirer in his magnificent blue uniform. Henceforth, she had eyes for no other, by smiles and glances offering encouragement to ask pardon for her former neglect.
In response, the Prince sent her a package containing his uniform and jeweled pin in the shape of a crown. These were accompanied by a cryptic note: "I give to you in perpetuity and in sole proprietorship the only things you have ever cared about me."
He was contemplating hunting reindeer in Norway when the war of 1870 broke out. His request to rejoin his regiment was, of course, quickly granted. Patriotism and enthusiasm played little part in his action. He merely felt it was the correct thing to do and, possibly, he hoped that war might offer his existence new sensation.
Was he again disappointed? He was inclined to think so. Two weeks had passed in the enemy's country, and he had had no extraordinary experiences. With two good servants and unlimited monitory resources, even in a campaign there are few hardships, especially in a victorious army. As for heroic deeds, there had simply been no occasion. Now, standing before his regiment, smoking a cigarette, he felt the old weariness of life claiming him.
But the French artillery was advancing upon the ditch. Creating great havoc, their balls struck the German batteries that it defended. To support the batteries, two regiments of infantry were ordered forward.
Marching first came the Third Westphalians. They passed so near the group of officers Prince Louis could distinguish each face, each expression. The poor fellows had marched fourteen hours under the burning August sun. They were covered with dust and sweat. and their uniforms soiled with mud. But no fatigue did these heroes betray. Their eyes, reddened by the heat, flamed with the enthusiasm of war; their dry throats found strength to shout "Hurrah!" The whole regiment forgot their fatigue, and seemed, as they marched under fire, like men refreshed and stimulated by a generous draft.
'Poor devils,' considered the Prince, 'they are running to death as if it were a kermess dance. What are their thoughts? Or are they are driven on by a blind desire of conquest. What good will victory do them? How will it better their lot – if they have the fortune to escape death? Glory for Germany? Perhaps for me that might be of value; hardly for them. Victory might add to the splendor of my uniform. Yet I wear it so seldom. Perhaps if I go to Japan next year, the Mikado will receive me better if I belong to a victorious nation. But whether we beat the French or they beat us, I suspect I will always be received with welcome at the Jockey Club in Paris and the Mediterranean Club in Nice.
But for the common men over there, what will their glorious and victorious country do for them? They won't get much of it in their village. All they know of the Fatherland are the tax gatherers and the police, and they will be what they have always been. And yet here these soldiers are instilled with such enthusiasm! I cannot deny it – it moves even me. Are we to thank the poets who sing so grandly of patriotism and military glory? Or the schoolmasters who teach the people's heart the poets' words? How marvelous the power of a word … that can lead a prosaic poet to give his life for an abstraction … an imagination!'
Such lightning thoughts! 'And what feelings plague me? Is that confusion … or shame?' It seemed as if he had been speaking his thoughts; as if a group of grave and noble figures had listened to his words, and now judged him in silent pity … yes, even shame. In the depth of his soul, where the mocking light of his skeptical spirit failed to penetrate, he seemed to hear an imperial voice rebuking him and silencing his doubt.
'I am right!'
'Your are wrong!' the voice declared.
'Well, no matter. I shall deceive myself no longer with romantic dreams,' cried Reason; yet already it seemed to the Prince a stranger spoke; he shrank from them indignantly.
By now, the Third Westphalians had covered the entire slope of the ditch, the sharpshooters already at the top. A moment's hesitation; the first heads appearing above the ditch called forth the enemy's deadly fire. Men fell; those behind pressed on and, in spite of their terrible fatigue, strove with hands and feet to achieve the ascent: a simple feat for men in good condition. On they marched, each on fire with noble ardor.
The Prince remembered Heinrich Heine's words: "How I love the dear, good Westphalians! They are so sure, so firm, so faithful. It is magnificent to see them on the field of battle, those heroes, with their lion hearts."
Empowered by their "lion hearts," the Westphalians continued to scramble up the slope, expending their last breath in the effort to achieve their goal. But the French, maddened by this outburst, forced them, after a terrible combat man to man, to recoil to the depth of the ditch, which filled all too quickly with dead and wounded. The survivors sought retreat up the other slope, yet what a terrible sight! So exhausted were these good men, they could not escape. Muskets fell from their hands, and the French claimed many prisoners.
Above there was a great excitement. The Eighth Wesphalians arrived, commanded by the General; the reinforcements rushed to their aid; freeing their comrades and forcing the French to retreat. The French infantry was massing again. In the distance, their cavalry were approaching.
With heightened emotion, Prince Louis followed the combat; his heart beating first with joy, then with fear. The moment was critical; a consensus shared by the other officers. Calling his orderly, the Colonel sprang into his saddle. Trumpets blared, and a sudden movement passed through the regimen. Quickly mounted, sabres clanked, spurs flashed, horses neighed. Again the trumpets: boldly, the cavalry moved forward.
Half-past six in the evening. At the head of the first squadron, a short distance from the Colonel and adjutants, Prince Louis rode … seized by a new sensation. The madness, the feverish impatience of a moment before had melted away with the consciousness of acting for a given purpose. The knowledge of activity, of seeking a definite end, brought him rest. He no longer sought his worth in another's reflection; he thought no more of criticizing. The spirit of doubt was driven from him. He obeyed with ardor, belief, obedience, the irresistible command which propelled his being forward.
This man, who had always sought happiness by the unlimited activity of his personal will, now found that will bound by means scarcely perceptible. A Power, call it Natural Law, call it the Divine Will, ever manifesting itself by the course of history, now possessed him. No longer was he master of his destiny. He was taken out of himself by a stranger — was it a supernatural vision, a great genius, a Delivering Christ? Louis felt himself only a screw, a rivet in the machinery of the world's history, and strange to say this dissolving of his individuality in a great whole caused him neither sorrow nor regret.
A strange pleasure penetrated his heart, causing him to tremble with joy. How small he felt, even while something great transcended the limit of his own personality. At last, he had found that sensation always desired. He was delivered from himself, at large among greater generalities.
The regimen now descended the slope, avoiding the heaps of dead and dying. The horses quickly ascended the opposite side. Trumpets sounded; the regiment separated into two lines and advanced.
What followed mimicked the conflict of the gods of Valhalla. French cuirassiers, riding toward the sun, were illuminated by unearthly light, their shining sabres like tongues of flame, their cuirasses and helmets shining like white-hot steel. The German dragoons had their backs to the sun. Long black shadows of horseman galloping ahead along the ground appeared sombre ghosts leading the living to the attack. With terrible shock, the opposing forces impacted! The sublime vision of the moment before was gone, and in its stead was a horrible, confused melee. Men fought hand to hand, plunging their sabres into the bodies of their enemies. Fighting still, the French were forced to retreat. Hurrahing, the Germans gave chase, their mounts dripping with blood.
The pursuit halted near a small brook. As if awaking from a dream, the Prince caressed his noble horse and surveyed the scene around him. The enemy's artillery was drawing off; the surviving cuirassiers followed the artillery. In the distance, columns of infantry also retreated, all the while maintaining irregular and ineffectual fire.
"It is strange," observed a young lieutenant raising his bloody sabre; the events of combat lost to him in the frenzy of battle.
But the Prince felt a terrible blow, as if struck by a ghostly giant, or gored by an angry bull. Hand clasped to breast, he tried to stanch the blood.
Darkness consumed him.
On the trampled ground, he awoke; his head resting against the smooth leather of a worn saddle. His tunic was unfastened. Through blurry eyes, he recognized the colonel kneeling by his side; other comrades standing around him. He felt no pain, only a sensation of great fatigue.
"How do you feel, Prince?" His commander's harsh countenance softened by compassion.
"Long live the King," Louis murmured, a slight broken smile touching his lips. "Long live the Fatherland."

Q: The meaning of would in this sentence Please tell me what "would" means in this sentence.

In AmE, the phrase "go to hospital' would be not correct. One of the articles, a or the, would be necessary.

A: "Would" is conditional - if you're using one language, "go to hospital" is correct, but if you're using it for another, it's not.
It means that in American English, "go to hospital" doesn't exist (just so you know, I'll tell you why).
A hospital is a place. "Go to the hospital" is an expression. "Go to a hospital" means any hospital you can find.
Exceptions like "go to school" are correct. 'School' is not commonly recognized as a place without "a" or "the" before it. It's recognized as a collective term for somewhere that you learn.


The are so many hotels to choose from in the greater Palm Springs area that when it came time to pick a hotel for our family vacation last fall after Luke's final chemotherapy treatment, we were almost overwhelmed with the choices. We've been on a few vacations to the Palm Desert area of the valley, so we knew we wanted to choose a hotel in the area that's fun for the whole family. And that's why we chose Rancho Las Palmas in closely neighboring Rancho Mirage. Not only is it super fun for kids, but it is close to everything, has gorgeous grounds and beautiful accommodations. We chose a suite for our family of four.
The executive suite at Rancho Las Palmas is incredibly spacious. It has limited refrigerator space, but plenty of space to store non perishable food items and snacks.
For kids, Rancho Las Palmas is a true paradise. There are two water slides, a pool, an ample splash pad, a sandy beach area...all surrounded by a lazy river! As soon as we checked in, the kids wanted to head straight to the slides!
There was no other hotel in the area that had a lazy river. The mini watermark at Rancho Las Palmas is truly one of a kind.
The Blue Ember restaurant has delicious food and patio golf course views.
On multiple mornings during our stay, we enjoyed coffee from the Palms Cafe near the fireside. It was so relaxing.
If you don't feel like sitting down for breakfast, you can grab a bite at the Palms Cafe Coffee Shop and sit on the patio or enjoy a bite to eat in your room.
Walking the grounds at all times of the day, you are greeted with gorgeous golf course and mountain views.
If you are looking for one of the best hotels for kids in Palm Springs area, we can't recommend the Omni Rancho Las Palmas enough.
This is not a sponsored post, I did not receive any compensation or hotel stay for sharing my experience.
This looks like the perfect place to really take a break from what we call the daily grind. So glad you could use this as a time to celebrate the end of chemo treatment for Luke. I hope to take the family there in the near future!

Goodbye Toyota Prius: Uber and Nissan sign for 2,000 Leaf EVs
24th January 2020 - Updated on 8th April 2020
in Climate Change, Environment, Market, News
Last updated on April 8th, 2020 at 07:57 pm
Nissan, the Japanese multinational automaker and Uber, the American ride-hailing service company have signed a deal to support the introduction of 2,000 all-electric Nissan Leaf vehicles to drivers who use the Uber app.
The vehicles, which will be manufactured by Nissan's Sunderland plant, will house a 40 kWh battery pack, which allows them to drive 168 miles on a single charge. As part of Uber's Clean Air Plan, the Leaf taxis will be available for drivers who use the app in London.
The company is helping drivers upgrade to an EV through the scheme, by charging customers 15p a mile extra in order to facilitate the transition of Uber drivers to an all-electric. Since the introduction of the scheme in January 2019, Uber has managed to raise more than £80 million, with more than £200m expected to be raised over the next few years.
A staggering 900,000 Uber journeys were completed last year, a 350% year-on-year increase. Over 500 drivers every week are now using vehicles that emit zero tailpipe emissions.
The American company wants all of its drivers – around 45,000 – to be at the wheel of a fully electric from 2025. Nissan will provide Uber with a dedicated EV education programme, transaction price and marketing plan to drive uptake of these zero-emission vehicles.

Jamie Heywood, Regional General Manager for Northern and Eastern Europe, Uber, said: "Our bold vision for London is for every driver on the Uber app to use an all-electric vehicle by 2025. The partnership with Nissan is a hugely significant step towards meeting this goal. The Mayor of London has shown strong leadership on measures relating to air quality and we're proud to support him in delivering his vision."
Uber's Clean Air Plan is said to save drivers £4,500 on average over the course of ownership. While the scheme is set in place for those wanting to transition to an EV, it will also remain in place after a driver has adopted to the cleaner form of transport – money will be used to support the ongoing costs of vehicle repairs.
EVs are increasing in popularity across the country. In London alone, Transport for London (TfL) installed more than 1,000 EV charging points. In fact, on 21 January, the Department for Transport (DfT) announced it'll be doubling its funding for on-street EV chargers to £10 million. A recent review found that Westminster council had installed 375 public chargers by the end of August 2019. As a result, there are now more charging locations than ever before – within the congestion-charge zone, there are only four remaining petrol stations.
Andrew Humberstone, managing director, Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd. commented: "Through innovation and collaboration, companies like Nissan and Uber can tackle the challenges of advancing personal urban mobility, whilst also improving air quality in our major cities. As the UK's best-selling EV, the Nissan LEAF is the perfect vehicle to support Uber's ambition of a 100% electric fleet in London for 2025. Not only will passengers enjoy the quieter ride that comes from all-electric driving, but cyclists, pedestrians and other road users will also benefit from the zero-emissions powertrain."

The Nissan Leaf is among the most popular all-electric vehicle in the world. Since its release in 2010, it has sold more than 450,000 models globally. In 2018, the automaker launched its all-new second-generation model which came in two battery capacities: a 40kWh model (168-mile range) and a 62kWh e+ version (239-mile range). The car can be purchased from £26,345 through Nissan's website.

Since our founding in 1918, Columban missionaries have had a special commitment to marginalized communities. In the 17 countries were Columban serve, they are accompanying exploited workers, safeguarding the natural world, defending migrant rights, and calling for peace and the demilitarization of communities. Reflecting on these rich, intercultural experiences, the Missionary Society of St. Columban has identified five priority advocacy areas.
Peace & Demilitarization
The Columban Center for Advocacy and Outreach (CCAO) was founded in 1985 as the national advocacy office for the Missionary Society of St. Columban in the United States. Then we were known as the Columban Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation (JPIC) Office. We changed our name in April 2009 to allow for an expansion of the program to include calling others to join the Columbans in mission.
We serve as the line of communication between Columban missionaries on the ground and policy makers in Washington, D.C. Our mission is to work towards a more just, peaceful, and environmentally sustainable world by engaging in the political process guided by our faith and the Gospel. We work for structural change for the poor and marginalized populations Columbans serve around the world. We advocate for policies and structures that bring society and the world into right relationships with all of God's Creation. We use Catholic Social Teaching as our lens to engage in legislative advocacy and community engagement.

1st Call Detectives, a Tracing service tailored to fit your needs.
Even in our highly interconnected world people can, and do, go missing or fall out of contact. If a family member, business partner or friend seems to have vanished, or if you need to reestablish contact with a long-lost relative, our tracing services may be the way to go.
When someone goes missing, your first instinct will probably be to try to find them yourself by contacting networks of friends, searching their favourite haunts or conducting as detailed an online search as you can. However, this is a time-consuming and often frustrating process and may make an already difficult situation even harder to handle. Whatever the circumstances, you can contact our offices and at a reasonable cost we will take over the search and take a load off your mind.
Our investigators have many years of experience, many of them in law enforcement, so they are ideally equipped to trace any missing person in the UK or overseas. Drawing on an advanced range of methods, we can quickly get our operations underway. We can draw on various methods, including assessment of phone and internet history and activity, consultation with our networks of other law enforcement professionals and investigators, vehicle tracking and more.
We understand that trying to trace a missing person can be exhausting and draws on all of your emotional resources, so our aim is to make your life as easy as it can be in such difficult circumstances. At the beginning of our investigation the detectives involved will ascertain your hopes and requirements and outline the details of the investigative process.

In 2003, an Urban Institute report concluded that lack of affordable space posed critical constraints in artists ability to pursue their work effectively. Scarcity of affordable space not only made it difficult for artists to work but also disrupted entire communities of artists who relied on each other for ideas and support. In response to this finding, this report looks at both a range of ways in which more affordable artist spaces can be created and the impact of artists spaces on neighborhoods and cities.

Q: Help with a quintic polynomial $$y = 0.10 + 4.060264x - 6.226862x^2 + 48.145864x^3 - 60.928632x^4 + 49.848766x^5$$
I need to be able to solve this equation for $x$.
I've looked around and seem to be failing miserably and solving this myself.
I'll have a $y$ value (likey between 0-35) and I need to find an exact $x$ (likely between 0-1).
Thanks

A: One way to obtain a "symbolic version," as requested in the comments, is to compute some relatively simple approximation and polish it with a Newton-Raphson step.  Because this function is smooth and monotonic for $0 \le y \le 35$ this is going to work very well.
In fact, a least-squares fit of the functional form $a \log(b + c(y+1)^{1/5} + d(y-e)^2$ to the solutions for $y=0, 1, \ldots, 35$ already gets close: most of the errors are less than 0.0003 .  One Newton-Raphson step is a rational function of this expression of degree 5 (numerator) and 4 (denominator), thereby expressible in terms of 11 parameters derived from the original polynomial.  The residuals of this 16-parameter expression range from $-6 10^{-6}$ to $2.7 10^{-7}$, which is close to the precision of the original polynomial coefficients.  For $y \ge 4$ the errors are all less than $10^{-7}$, which is as good as one can hope for.
To find this solution in Mathematica, begin by generating the array of solutions for  $y=0, 1, \ldots, 35$:
Clear[x, y];
roots = x /. Table[FindRoot[-y + 0.10 + 4.060264 x - 6.226862 x^2 +
 48.145864 x^3 - 60.928632 x^4 + 49.848766 x^5, {x, .5}], {y, 0, 35}]

Fit the initial simple model (using some eyeball guesses for the parameters):
Clear[a, b, c];
model = a Log[b + c  y^(1/5)] +  d (y - e)^2;
fit = FindFit[roots, model, {{a, .5}, {b, 1}, {c, .1}, {e, 18}, {d, .0001}}, y]

Create a Newton-Raphson step for a function f at the argument a:
Clear[nr];
nr[f_, a_] := (x - f[x]/D[f[x], x]) /. x -> a

Use it to improve the model:
Clear[x];
x[z_] := ( nr[f[#] - y + 1 &, model /. fit ]) /. y -> (z + 1)

(The shift to y-1 from y is needed because Mathematica starts indexing at 1, not 0.)  The model works well for $1 \le y \le 35$ and exceptionally well for $y \ge 4$.
g = Table[x[y], {y, 1, 36}];
ListPlot[roots - g, PlotRange -> {Full, Full},
    PlotStyle -> PointSize[0.015], DataRange -> {0, 35},
    AxesLabel -> {"y", "Error"}]

If you need better solutions for $y \lt 4$, you could similarly fit a simple model plus a Newton-Raphson polish to this range of values alone.

A: It is a quintic, and so must have at least one real root.  The coefficient of $x^5$ is positive so $y$ is negative if $x$ is large and negative and $y$ is positive if $x$ is large and positive.
"By inspection" you will get negative $y$ for $x=-2$ and you obviously get a positive $y$ for $x=0$.  In fact it passes through the points  $(-2, -2988.113512)$ and $(0, 0.1)$, so there is a root between them so try halfway, finding the point $(-1,-169.110388)$ and continue halving the interval, so next $(-0.5,-14.8708939375)$; you don't need such precision, and in fact only need the sign of $y$.  Just keep halving between two values of $x$ which give opposite signs for $y$ until you get an answer which is precise enough for you.
There are faster root-finding algorithms, but this bisection method will work whenever you have a continuous function and two points with $y$ having opposite signs.


TRG Home Concepts is an interior remodeling contractor located in Medford, New Jersey focusing primarily on kitchens, bathrooms, and finish carpentry. Our mission is to deliver a quality product to our clients while creating and maintaining value through efficiency and judicious project coordination.
Being immersed in a family construction business at an early age molded a passion for my craft.
After graduating from Drexel University with a degree in Construction Management I struck out on my own to pursue a career as a craftsman carpenter. I pride myself in finish details and continue to invest in my business by using high quality tools and materials. A clean and well-organized workspace keeps me efficient and is a standard on all of my projects.
By collaborating on many jobs with my wife, Rachel, who is an interior designer, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of the aesthetics of home design. Our projects have been featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Fine Homebuilding Magazine, and on Design Sponge.
Choosing TRG Home Concepts was the best decision we made. From day one, Tyler and Rachel were professional, honest and upfront with us. They gave us options and worked with our budget, explaining ways to make the most of our money. Going into the construction project we knew exactly what to expect as Tyler had talked us through all our decisions. We have never met a harder worker. Tyler was here day in and day out, putting in extra hours on the weekends. He was in constant communication with us and helped us through decision making along the way. His attention to detail is flawless and he stayed within the character of our older home. Tyler stands behind all of his work and takes pride in each of his projects. TRG Home Concepts' work speaks for itself. Everything is truly custom, and our built in units are both functional and gorgeous. Every person that has entered our basement asks for his contact information immediately. He truly has a gift and his talents, hard work and professionalism speak volumes. We will continue to use TRG Home Concepts for all our future projects as we remodel our home.
We have used TRG Home Concepts for numerous projects including 3 bathroom remodels and our son's nursery and have never been disappointed! The quality of craftsmanship is outstanding; we are constantly receiving compliments. Not only does the finished product look great, but we have the peace of mind that the work was done right, which is priceless.
Tyler is an exceptional craftsman who produces a quality product, from the smallest fix to a whole house remodel. As a real estate professional I have contracted with Tyler as well as readily recommended him to my clients for many years without reservation.
It is my pleasure to recommend Tyler to anyone in need of carpentry work. He has been working with me on all of my bathroom remodeling for the past few years. He is knowledgeable and careful to ensure that the job is done correctly, according to code and manufacturer's specifications. I can depend on him to show up on time and work through until completion. He treats my customer's home as his own by protecting the work area and cleaning up each day before leaving. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed having Tyler complete any project in your home.
We cannot say enough positives about Tyler Grace's work, professionalism and finished projects. Tyler gave us the most beautiful deck addition to our home. Tyler came over discussed, listened and the end results was more than we could have imagined. Tyler's work is so detailed and beautiful. He worked in a timely matter, price was very reasonable, area was cleaned up after he was finished. We have also recommended him to friends who were also amazed and pleased with his work. We are looking forward to having Tyler doing more work for us. As a person Tyler is friendly, easy to work with, professional and dedicated to the job at hand.
I would highly recommend Tyler to work with anyone especially people who dislike living in a construction site. Tyler stayed within our budget, was extremely neat, always communicated with us about the job, was able to work around three dogs and completed the project on time. Working with Rachel gave us ideas that we are now going to be doing another larger project with them. Tyler is one of the most honest people I know and that is why I would recommend using his company.
If you'd like to speak about a project, please use the form to the right to contact me. You can also email me at tyler@trghomeconcepts.com or call me at 908-209-2336.
