Jim Lambie (* 1964 in Glasgow) ist ein zeitgenössischer schottischer Künstler, DJ und Musiker.

Leben
Jim Lambie besuchte von 1990 bis 1994 die Glasgow School of Art. Der Künstler fühlt sich mit der Geschichte Glasgows, charakterisiert durch Industrialisierung oder den Utopien von William Morris und der Arts-and-Crafts-Bewegung verbunden.

Als Musiker war Jim Lambie unter anderem als Xylophonist der Glasgower Band The Boy Hairdresser tätig, die nach seinem Weggang zur Brit-Pop Band Teenage Fanclub wurde. 2005 wurde der Künstler für seine Installation Mental Oyster für den Turner Prize vorgeschlagen.

Werk
Jim Lambie schuf Ende der 1990er seine ersten Zobop Bodeninstallationen mit vielfarbigen Vinyltapes: die in geometrischen Linien verlaufende Farbmasse greift vibrierend in den Raum ein, die Schwingungen übertragen sich pulsierend auf die Betrachter. Lambies Kunst beziehen sich auf die Atmosphäre von trendigen, glitzernden Clubs, den Orten, wo Musik im besten Fall direkt am Puls der Zeit entsteht. Die Zobop-Installationen rufen den 70er Glam Rock in die Ausstellungsräume, sie visualisieren den Beat der Musik und sind zugleich psychedelische Dancefloors, wo man sich dem Rausch der Musik hingeben kann.

In seinem Werk bezieht sich Jim Lambie vor allem auf das Universum der Popmusik: Diskotheken, Clubs, Nachtleben, Songtexte, legendäre Bands, Fankult oder auch der Beobachtung der ästhetischen Formen von Musik.
Auch nutzt der Künstler meist Alltagsgegenstände transformatorisch für seine Werke, so dass die, dem Alltag enthobenen Gegenstände, nun skulptural eine völlig neue Wahrnehmung schaffen.

Lambies Umgang mit Materialien ist unorthodox und zunächst wenig auf die traditionellen künstlerischen Materialien bezogen. Er arbeitet mit gefundenen Objekten von Flohmärkten oder Haushaltsgegenständen wie zum Beispiel T-Shirts, Vasen, Gürtel, Poster, Stühle, Spiegel oder Türen. Auch industrielle Materialien wie Beton, MDF- und Metallplatten, industrielle Lacke oder Sprühfarbe finden Einzug in sein Werk. In seinen Ausstellungen möchte er ein Raumkonzept ähnlich dem des Gesamtkunstwerkes schaffen.

Sims 4 Cottage Living: Everything About The New Expansion
by Anoop Varghese
in Gaming
The Sims 4 fans will be totally excited for the new expansion pack for the game, and we will be looking at Sims 4 Cottage Living Release Date and every other detail fans need to know about this game. On Thursday developer Maxis announced the expansion, called Cottage Living. This new expansion pack will be set in a charming countryside small town called Henford-on-Bagley, where we could see pub owners at The Gnome's Arms. We could even see the Sim running the grocery stall for some wild stories and can gossip in this expansion pack along with that players will be able to build the cottage of their dream. The trailer that was showcased has a lot of things and it seems like many are excited about this new expansion pack since the response is pretty positive.
The trailer showcased the sims owning their own plot of land where they could do farming, which is a huge feature that the fans have been demanding for a long time. Since there is the farm, there should also include barnyard animals, like llamas, chickens, and cows, there is even a multi-color cow showcasing the ability to customize the player's animals. This is why we saw trailer shows multicolor cows, chickens in top hats, and even bunnies and llamas wearing sweaters.
Sims 4 Cottage Living: Features
Other customizations include Change in the flavor of the player's cow's milk, the color of the llama's wool, or even the appearance of the chickens with specific goodies. The players will be required to take care of all of their animals. Being good to the domestic animals and forest wildlife and earning their trust will bring you some achievements and gifts. Keep in mind that different animals have different treats and moods and even produce different results! Since we have mentioned the forest and wildlife, this means that you can explore these places also.

Other than these, there are also bunnies and foxes plus cross-stitching, milking cows, picnics, and farm stands. By this, the Sims will be now able to grow vegetables, harvest milk, and eggs, or even forage in the woods. The trailer also shows Sims growing huge pumpkins and thus winning awards at a country fair. Sims can teach their kids how to care for plants too. Regarding the update, Antonio Romeo, the producer of The Sims 4, says that the game already offers players a variety of activities and locations that needs to be explored by the Sims. The new Cottage Living expansion pack will offer more to explore for the players.
The last expansion pack Snowy Escape was released in November and before that, we saw the arrival of the Eco-Living expansion pack. The developers of The Sims 4 had recently released a new Game Pack, called the Dream Home Designer. This game pack was preceded by an outdoor courtyard item kit. Along with that, Multiple different base-game updates such as improved bunk beds are also being implemented in the game. Another thing to note is that Mrs. Agnes Crumplebottom is making a comeback in this expansion. Mrs. Crumplebottom is a miserable old lady known for acquainting the Sims with her handbag quite often. This NPC hasn't seen in the franchise since The Sims 3.
Sims 4 Cottage Living Release Date
Players who are interested in playing The Sims 4 Cottage Living expansion, can pre-order this and can wait till July 22, 2021, and will be able to play on PC, Mac, Xbox One, and PS4. What do you think about this upcoming expansion pack for the game? This new expansion pack sure does promise to change the entire experience of the game.
Let's get to know more about The Sims 4. Released in 2014, The Sims is a life simulation video game developed by the Redwood Shores studio and published by Electronic Arts. As the name suggests this is the fourth major title in the franchise.
The Sims 4 is the first PC game to top all the format charts for two years. While this game pleased many of the fans, the game still got criticism from the reviewers, major among them directed towards its lack of content. And to solve this, the developers have been adding expansion packs to the game. There has been a total of ten expansion packs that have been released to date.

A friend recently told me I am meddling into politics as of late. Well, this blog focuses on advertising critique and pop culture, and when politics (originally meaning polis-ethos or the ethics of living in a community) becomes pop culture so it becomes fair game to include it. We live in a world where entertainment became news and news entertainment. How so? Instead of reading "woman gets robbed" on the miscellaneous section - Kim Kardashian's Paris robbery was first page headliner and instead of reading "official release from the president of the United States" we have decipher a tweet in 140 characters or less. Interestingly the man who wrote "The Art of the Deal" could not even get his own party to agree on a new healthcare bill which is supposed to replace the "failing" signature health bill which is supposed to bring some basic healthcare measures and which was issued by his predecessor (a bill affectionately called Obamacare) with something "terrific" (which turned out terrifying).
Hence the new book "The Fart of the Deal".


I have classes periods 1 & 4 but you are free to stop by E3 any other time before the exam if you need some help.
I have posted past papers and solutions on the Int2 Physics revision page. I don't have copies of the very earliest papers, I'm afraid.
Post a comment here if you have any problems with the links.
Ria asked if a slinky really stops in mid air when it is released. Eoin helped us to find out the answer.

I'm sure you'll do your best tomorrow. Remember to check the exam advice for Higher and Standard Grade on BBC Bitesize.
Higher classes – remember my advice to attempt Section B first. 70 of the 90 marks are there and each mark requires less effort than Section A. Aim to leave 35 minutes for the multiple choice questions.


An Oklahoma family may adopt a child from Oklahoma, from another state, or from another country. An adoption agency and/or an attorney is usually involved both in the state of the adoptive parent's residence and where the child resides to provide the legal and social service components of the adoption. A prospective adoptive parent must have a home study report by a social service professional in the state of residence which verifies a loving, safe and stable home environment will be provided for a child.
Domestic infant. The type of adoption most widely known is the adoption of an infant born in the US, usually by persons who are not biologically related to the child. Oklahoma law permits newborn children to be released from the hospital to the physical custody of the adoptive parents if the birth mother signs a release. The parental rights and responsibilities of both birth parents are terminated in a legal process in order to allow a child to become legally free for adoption. Prospective adoptive parents file a Petition to Adopt with the court as described in section V. "Simplified view of the legal domestic adoption process in Oklahoma."
Children with "special needs". Most adoptions involving children with special needs are arranged by a state agency, an Indian Nation child welfare department, or a private agency licensed for special needs adoption. This type of adoption focuses on children whose birth parent's rights are terminated by the juvenile division of the probate court and who are placed under the care and supervision of the state of residence of the child. An adoption subsidy may be available to assist with the financial burden of care for a child with special needs. (An explanatory pamphlet is available from the Department of Human Services.) Agencies provide comprehensive training programs to help adoptive parents prepare for meeting the challenges of parenting these children.
FostAdopt. A FostAdopt placement is a specific situation in which the child in foster care is expected to become legally free for adoption, and is placed with a specially-trained foster family who is interested in adopting the child if that becomes possible. However, the family cannot be guaranteed that adoption will occur. Some families interested in adopting children with "special needs" become foster parents first to gain experience in parenting these children. (see X. Foster care programs).
International adoption. Adoption of a child from another country by an Oklahoma resident may occur with the assistance of a child-placing agency or an attorney. Oklahoma law recognizes a decree, judgment, or final order of adoption issued by a court or other governmental authority in a foreign country or a territory of the United States. Adoption or re-adoption of a foreign-born child may take place so that the child may receive an Oklahoma birth certificate (certificate of foreign birth).
Step-parent adoption. A step-parent adoption occurs when the spouse of a parent desires to adopt. It usually requires the assistance of an attorney. Certain requirements, such as a pre-placement home study, may be waived. The non-custodial parent must consent to the adoption or the rights of the non-custodial parent must be terminated because the court has determined that the non-custodial parent has failed significantly in his or her parental responsibilities.
Relative. The adoption of a grandchild or other family member may occur with the assistance of a state or private agency, an Indian Nation, or an attorney, as applicable.
Interstate. The adoption of a child from another state by an Oklahoma family may take place with the assistance of an adoption agency or an attorney, depending on the laws of the other state. The Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children is a law in all 50 states which requires certain procedures to be followed before a child can be moved between states for the purposes of adoption. In almost all circumstances, it is illegal for a child to be transported across state lines for adoption without complying with the Compact requirements.
Adult adoption. An adult person may be adopted by another adult person with the consent of the person to be adopted or his guardian and the consent of the spouse of the prospective adoptive parent.

Q: Nobel Prize 2013: What is it about? I would really like to understand Higgs-Englert's discovery that earned them the 2013 physics Nobel prize. I tried reading their work, but understood nothing of it unfortunately.
The reason why I'm asking here is because, unfortunately, it is very hard to find physics principles explained in such a way that a non-physicist can understand them.
Either the explanations are far too simplified and/or incomplete, or they require a lot of prior knowledge and/or ask you to accept certain concepts that most of us would find unusual or unnatural.
I'm a mechanical engineer. As such, I have a basic understanding of physics, but no way near enough to understand Higgs-Englert's work. I have many friends and colleges in the same situation as I am who would also like to understand what has been discovered, how, and why it's important.
Therefore, could someone provide a simple, but complete and thorough explanation of this work? Preferably including explanations of the basic concepts/principles it makes use of.

A: In few words:
All the data gathered on particle physics can be beautifully classified in what is called the Standard Model. It is based on group symmetries in the behavior of particles, three groups two of them special unitary groups and one a simple unitary group.
     SU(3) x  SU(2) x U(1)
     strong    weak electromagnetic

each group representing one of the three forces as labeled above.
What does this mean? It means that all the elementary particles  can be found as a member of an irreducible representation of these combined groups, the quark model classification finds its mathematical justification.
an example of  an SU(3) group representations is  the baryon octet, where the quantum numbers of the particles allow them to be entered in the octet representation of an  SU(3) group.

Figure 4. The S = 1⁄2 ground state baryon octet

The mathematical unification of  the three forces when expressed in the proper lagrangian formalism,  is on the basic elementary particles in the table: the quarks, the leptons and the intermediate force carriers, photons and gluon and W/Z. In the first version of the model  the masses were zero if the symmetries were to be respected mathematically,  whereas the real particles had masses .
It was necessary to find a way to give masses to the elementary  particles and that way was found by the Higgs mechanism, which broke the symmetry in such a way as to allow for the appearance of masses for the particles.
Another plot for symmetries shows the Higgs field breaking the symmetry:

The pattern of weak isospin, T3, weak hypercharge, YW, and color charge of all known elementary particles, rotated by the weak mixing angle to show electric charge, Q, roughly along the vertical. The neutral Higgs field (gray square) breaks the electroweak symmetry and interacts with other particles to give them mass.

The Higgs mechanism permeates all space, it is a field. Nevertheless, when included  into the mathematical equations defining the Standard Model  a prediction was made: There should be a particle with a fixed mass, which is the Higgs found at CERN, which would not be there if the Higgs mechanism were nonexistent.
Thus the particle found at CERN confirmed that the Higgs mechanism is at work and real, breaking the zero mass symmetry and giving  masses to all paraticles, including the Higgs particle itself.
The mathematical formulation and solutions of the Standard Model Lagrangian  is something one could study in a semester course. If you look at the link, it isn't that simple to be discussed on this board.

A: Have a look at Prof Susskind's video, Demystifying the Higgs Boson. There are other videos in mechanics, relativity etc as part of the course.

A: I think this link explains it in a very simple way for a non-physicist. For a more detailed explanation (you don't need to be a professional physicist to understand it) watch this. Particularly from minute 10 to minute 40.
Hopefully that is what you are looking for!

Ayam goreng literally means fried chicken in Indonesian. There are many recipes of ayam goreng in Indonesia, among the popular one is Ayam Goreng Kremes. So what is Kremes? well it means something crunchy. Indonesian likes to create funny sometimes hilarius name for the food – so that people will remember it easily. There is a well known restaurant chain in the country named Ayam Goreng Suharti that introduced the menu for the first time. They use the leftover broth of spiced chicken that is cooked for a while and add some mixed flours to make crispy granule (kremesan). That what makes it different from other fried chicken menu.
Chicken is my favourite dish … especially fried chicken … my children also love it. I usually cook more quantity, then store them in the freezer so that I can fry whenever I need it. As any other spiced ayam goreng, ayam goreng kremes is cooked with different spices to createan aromatic delicious taste before deep fried. Making Ayam Goreng Kremes is a bit complicated and time consuming. But for delicious chicken dish I am all for it 🙂 A good and perfect kremesan should be like honeycomb texture (in Indonesian we called it 'bersarang') but unfortunately based on some recipes I found at internet, I need sagoo flour for it which I can't find it anywhere here. So for now, I used the flour I had and make some adjustment to get a good result, not similar as kremesan Ayam Goreng Suharti, but it's good enough for my humble taste 😀 The best is serving with steamed white rice or yellow rice and sambal bajak or sambal terasi.
1. Blend or grind all spice paste ingredients.
2. Boil the Chicken with the spice paste, lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, bayleaf. Add the salt and cook until it's tender and spice is absorbed. Make sure do not dry the stock, leave it about 300 ml.
4. Heat the oil in non-stick deep frying pan, fry the chicken until it's brown and crispy. Set aside.
Combine all the ingredients and mix them very well to make a smooth batter. If the batter is too thick, add a bit of water.
Heat up the deep frying pan with lot of oil. When the oil is hot enough, with the ladle take some batter then swirl around the surface. Lower the heat and let it fry until golden brown and crunchy. Remember to stir the mixture each time before you add into the hot oil.
When it's brown and take out from the oil and use the kitchen paper to absorb the oil.
Sprinkle this spiced crunch granule together with the fried chicken and serve immediately.

The Killer Ape Theory: Are Humans Violent by Nature?
Posted by Darya Sinusoid | Jul 6, 2022
This article is an excerpt from the Shortform book guide to "Humankind" by Rutger Bregman. Shortform has the world's best summaries and analyses of books you should be reading.
What is the Killer Ape Theory? Are humans violent by nature?
According to the Killer Ape Theory, aggression and violence are what propelled human evolution, distinguishing our ancestors from other primates. The theory gained notoriety for suggesting that humans were aggressive by nature. However, not all scientists are unanimous in this opinion. According to Rutger Bregman, the author of Humankind, more recent evidence suggests that human nature is peaceful and cooperative.
Here's why the Killer Ape Theory is moot, according to Bregman.
Early Human Foragers Avoided War
According to Bregman, early human foraging groups lived peacefully with each other for millions of years. These groups struggled to survive in the face of harsh weather conditions and predators, but evidence suggests that they didn't go to war against each other.
When scientists first discovered the bones of early humans, they theorized that our ancestors were brutal killers and cannibals. In the 1920s, anatomist Raymond Dart studied the skull of an Australopithecus africanus, a human ancestor that lived 2 to 3 million years ago. Based on the skull's injuries, Dart concluded that these early humans violently murdered one another. He published his theory in the 1950s, calling it "Killer Ape Theory."
(Shortform note: While Bregman focuses on the development of Killer Ape Theory, Dart's study of the skeletal remains of Australopithecus africanus also resulted in another important finding: that humans originated in Africa. Charles Darwin had proposed that Africa was the birthplace of humanity in his 1871 book The Descent of Man. But by the 1920s, most theories suggested that the first humans lived in Eurasia, based on skeletal remains found in France and England. Dart suggested that Australopithecus africanus, discovered in South Africa, predated these remains. While his theory was dismissed at the time, later findings confirmed that he was right.)
However, Bregman notes that more recent studies have debunked Killer Ape Theory and revealed that our ancestors were peaceful. In 2006, archaeologists examined the same Australopithecus africanus skull that Dart had studied in the 1920s. They found that the injuries came from a large predatory bird, not from other early humans. Skeletal remains from later in history tell a similar story: According to Bregman, not a single archaeological site suggests that early human foragers fought against each other
(Shortform note: Bregman argues that the archaeological record doesn't show evidence of war in foraging societies. However, other authors point out that this doesn't necessarily mean that war didn't happen. In a podcast episode featuring Bregman and renowned psychologist Steven Pinker, Pinker argues that some war injuries from prehistoric times—such as cuts and bruises—wouldn't show up on skeletons. As a result, it's difficult to draw firm conclusions about the prevalence of war from early human remains.)
Scientists Have Objected to Killer Ape Theory for Decades
Bregman implies that Killer Ape Theory wasn't debunked until relatively recently. However, paleontologists have questioned and debunked Dart's theory since its incipience in 1953.
The most prominent among these early critics were C.K. Brain and Elizabeth S. Vrba, whose 1970 study suggested that the injuries to the Australopithecus africanus skull came from leopards, not from other early humans. The researchers noted that two puncture marks in the eye cavities of the skull were exactly the same distance apart as an adult leopard's teeth. They theorized that the leopard dragged the owner of the skull into a tree—the skull then fell, causing the damage that Dart attributed to an early human bashing the skull with a rock.
While the 2006 study that Bregman cites agreed that a predator, not another early human, caused the damage to the skull, the researchers interpreted the puncture marks differently. They observed that the puncture marks matched those on the skulls of monkeys that had been killed by large eagles. They therefore suggested that the Australopithecus africanus was the victim of an eagle, not a leopard.

Jimmy Horace and Jerry Jasper Gourd are supporting characters in VeggieTales.
Jimmy Horace and Jerry Jasper are the two identical twin gourd brothers 👦🏻, a 'comic duo' (similar to Tweedledee and Tweedledum from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland ") of Tampa Bay city 🌃 who are known for their eating habits, and they usually portray characters with the same personality. that marks their appearances in the very first fresh 3D animated video 📼 series, "The Rainbow 🌈 Buddies: All Stories in One".
They are friendly gourds who share their love of eating and singing 🎤. They are competitive at times, often betting on who can eat more.
Like most of the characters, the two gourds gained colored iris. (Jimmy's green, while Jerry's brown) Jerry's stem has changed to a curly shape vine. They also gained visible teeth and eyebrows, which was something their original models didn't have. Phil Vischer stated that Jimmy looks kinda scary due to his teeth. Both of them are gourds, and they're half identical. Jimmy is short and orange, and has a low (high) voice, while Jerry is tall and yellow, and has a high (low) voice.
Jimmy Horace and Jerry Jasper's voices are similar from "Oswald", "101 Dalmation (TV series)" and "The Jungle Cubs".


The Fokker DVII was the first aircraft built completely in house at the Great War Flying Museum. It was constructed using the same plan set as the replicas built for the film The Blue Max, except powered by an inverted Ranger engine rather than the Gypsy Queen. It was originally painted in the all white colours of Fok. D.VII 5125/18 as flown by Oblt Hermann Göering while in Jagdgeschwader I.
In 1991 the aircraft was repainted complete with lozenge pattern to represent Hptm. Rudolf Berthold's aircraft from Jadgdeschwader II bearing his winged sword insignia. This was briefly over-painted in the fall of 2003 while on the set of the film The Aviator(2003) so as to represent an all red D.VII from the film Hell's Angels (1930). Once the temporary paint was removed the aircraft was returned to its red and blue Berthold colours.
The 2007-2018 rebuild of the aircraft included complete recovering in lozenge fabric and applying the markings of Lt. d. R. Richard Kraut.
The D-VII was seriously damaged in a crash at Geneseo, NY, in 2007. Read about the rebuild.

Peterborough: 26 Drug Dealers Jailed
7 October 2011, 11:26 | Updated: 7 October 2011, 11:31
26 dealers who traveled to Peterborough to sell drugs have been jailed for a total of more than 70 years.
Most of them were arrested on one day back in June as part of a big police push against drug-dealing in Peterborough, called Operation Riptide.
The operation was focused on catching people who traveled to Peterborough from places including London to sell drugs and commit violent crime.
Other suspects were brought in from Peterborough Prison or arrested in the street.
Around 80 officers have been involved in the operation, which has been running since November last year.
Police have told Heart that many of the arrests were a direct result of information passed to officers by people living in Peterborough.
Detective Chief Inspector Jon Hutchinson said: "The results over the past two days reinforce the message we have given since the start of Op Riptide: if you deal drugs in Peterborough you will be arrested, put before the courts and given a significant jail term.
Drugs will not be tolerated in Peterborough and we, and our partner agencies, will keep doing everything in our power to prevent them being sold on the city's streets.
We would also ask members of the public to continue reporting suspicious activity in their neighbourhood. The information we receive from residents is crucial and we don't mind if the activity turns out to be lawful."


When the monks advised it was an auspicious day, we arranged a special blessing at the new site of our elephant Veterinary Centre near Ban Ton Sae. We invited a deeply respected and venerable monk, Phra Sirindhorn, to visit and offer prayers that the constructions works now underway would be completed successfully.
This sacred ground-breaking ceremony focused on consecrating the 'main pillar' of the new building of the Centre. The contractors participated throughout and the pillar, of specific dimensions and precisely placed, was erected with banana shoots and sugar cane on each side and special gifts were provided. Prayers were offered that the enterprise will thrive and the site will truly become a wonderful haven for elephants and for the community. Our Thai trustee, Jakrapob Thaotad, was central to the ceremony.
carefully chosen and reflect centuries of tradition. We include sacred woods, gold leaf, gold, silver and bronze coins and a holy thread, all with very special meanings. The offerings were buried alongside flowers and sealed in concrete, as tradition dictates.
It was a very special day for us as the work now gets underway.

Q: remove n consecutive elements from array, so that amplitude of remaining elements is minimal Given array A, I need to remove K consecutive elements, so that the amplitude(difference between maximal and minimal elements) of the remaining elements will be minimal.
e.g A=[3,5,1,3,9,8], K=4,  the answer should be 1. I could remove [3,5,1,3]  to get 1.
I saw a similar post here: Program to find minimal amplitude after removing consecutive elements from array, someone commented about using prefix and suffix minimum and maximum, but I do not know what it means and how that would be helpful. If anybody could clarify/provide other suggestions that would be great.

A: O(n) solution with prefix/suffix minima/maxima:
def solution(A, K):
    pre = zip(acc(A, min, initial=inf),
              acc(A, max, initial=-inf))
    suf = list(zip(list(acc(A[::-1], min, initial=inf))[::-1],
                    list(acc(A[::-1], max, initial=-inf))[::-1]))
    return min(max(left[1], right[1]) - min(left[0], right[0])
               for left, right in zip(pre, suf[K:]))

For your example A = [3,5,1,3,9,8] we have the prefix minima/maxima and suffix minima/maxima:
pre: (∞,-∞) (3,3) (3,5) (1,5) (1,5) (1,9) (1,9)
suf:  (1,9) (1,9) (1,9) (3,9) (8,9) (8,8) (∞,-∞)

After aligning for K = 4 you have:
pre:                         (∞,-∞) (3,3) (3,5) (1,5) (1,5) (1,9) (1,9)
suf:  (1,9) (1,9) (1,9) (3,9) (8,9) (8,8) (∞,-∞)

For example the pairing of left = (3,5) and right = (∞,-∞) corresponds to a left subarray [3,5] and right subarray [] after removing [1,3,9,8]. Where the minimum of left and right side is min(3,∞)=3 and the maximum is max(5,-∞)=5, for an amplitude of 5-3=2.

    return min(max(left[1], right[1]) - min(left[0], right[0])

A little old lady walked into the main branch of the Chase Manhattan Bank holding a large paper bag in her hand. She told the young man at the window that she wished to open an account with the bank and deposit the $3 million she had in the bag. She said that prior to doing so she wished to meet the president of the bank due to the large amount of money involved. The teller opened the bag and saw bundles of $100 bills and thinking this a reasonable request telephoned the president's secretary to make an appointment for the lady.
Later the lady was escorted upstairs and ushered into the president's office. Introductions were made, and she stated that she liked to get to know the people she did business with on a more personal level. The bank president then asked her how she came into such a large sum of money and whether it was perhaps an inheritance.
She replied "No, I bet on people."
Seeing his confusion she explained that she just bet different things with different people. All of a sudden she said, "I'll bet you $25,000 that by 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning your balls will be square."
The bank president figured that she must be off her rocker but decided to take her up on the bet. He didn't see how he could lose. For the rest of the day he was very careful. He decided to stay home that evening and take no chances, after all, there was $25,000 at stake. When he got up in the morning and took his shower he checked to make sure everything was normal. There was no difference. He looked the same as he always had. He went to work and waited for the little old lady to come in at 10:00 a.m., humming as he went. He knew that this would be a good day. How often do you get handed $25,000 for doing nothing he thought! At 10:00 a.m. sharp the little old lady was shown into the president's office. With her was a younger man who she introduced as her lawyer. She said she always took him along whenever there was this much money involved. "Well, " she asked, "what about our bet?"
"I don't know how to tell you this," he replied, "but I'm the same as I've always been, only $25,000 richer!"
The little old lady seemed to accept this but insisted that she be able to see for herself. The bank president thought the request reasonable and dropped his trousers. She instructed him to bend over and then she grabbed hold of him. Sure enough, everything was fine, but then the Bank President looked up and saw the lady's attorney across the room, banging his head against the wall. "What's wrong with him?" he asked.
"Oh, him?", she replied. "I bet him $100,000 that by 10:00 a.m. this morning I'd have the president of the Chase Manhattan Bank by the balls.

Bizarre Things About The Weather Our Ancestors Believed
By Debra Kelly/Updated: Jan. 24, 2022 10:06 pm EST
Every so often, Mother Nature takes the opportunity to remind us that no matter how many massive buildings we build, no matter how technologically advanced we are, and no matter how cool we think we are, we're still at her mercy. The normal wind and rain is just the start of it, and hardly a week goes by we don't hear about hurricanes, tornadoes, or tsunamis hitting somewhere in the world and bringing some serious devastation with them.
Today, scientists can predict some severe weather, but we still don't know how to stop it. Sometimes, the only thing to do is either batten down the hatches or get out of town, so just imagine what our ancestors thought when they saw the storm clouds rolling in. They didn't have all the technology we do today, so they needed to come up with their own explanations about what was happening in the skies above. Their stories might not tell us much about the weather, but they do say something very important: Our ancestors were weird people.
Someone disappears? The Harpies got them
Wind is the literal worst. There's nothing you can do against the wind, and it's essentially an invisible bully that can do a ton of damage. For the ancient Greeks, the strongest of winds were actually Harpyiai (harpies) — half-bird, half-woman creatures sent by Zeus to deliver an unmistakable message.
There are a few stories about the harpies delivering vengeance to particular people. After King Phineus of Thrace spilled some secrets, the harpies descended to steal every plate of food he tried to eat. It wasn't until the Argonauts visited and other wind gods — the Boreades — chased the harpies away that the king was left in peace. Not everything they did was bad, and Homer credits one with giving birth to the mystical horses of Achilles.
But ... most of what they did was bad. Greek lore said that when someone disappeared suddenly and completely, they had been stolen by the storm winds of the harpies. Typically it was thought the harpies then delivered their captives off to become slaves to the other gods.
The most disgusting forecast ever
The Victorians were obsessed with leeches. They thought almost any ailment could be cured by a generous application of leeches, and as if that wasn't bad enough, there was also a belief that leeches could give decent weather forecasts.
To be fair, they probably weren't any worse than the other methods of the day, but they were more gross. The movement really got into full swing when George Merryweather found an old poem that talked about a leech's tendency to rise to the surface when "disturbed." That led him to create the Tempest Prognosticator, which was essentially a fancy way of arranging 12 bottles containing leeches and water. When the air pressure dropped, the theory went, the leeches would rise in their bottles, trip a pin, and ring a bell.
Legit? Slightly, says Atlas Obscura. Merryweather would write the Whitby Philosophical Society whenever his leeches predicted a storm, and sometimes, they were right. Kind of. They were able to predict a storm was coming sometime in the future, but at the end of the day, that's not entirely helpful. Merryweather had grand plans for installing his Tempest Prognosticators all across London, but it wasn't long before the British Meteorological Office came up with some less gross options.
The Hag of Beara and the winter months
In Scotland and Ireland, the long, dark winter months were the domain of one of the mother goddesses. Sometimes she's known as Beira, Queen of Winter, and in other places, she's the less respectful Hag of Beara.
According to Irish traditions (via Wilderness Ireland), she was reborn every year on Samhain and grew more powerful throughout the winter months. On May 1 — Bealtine — she began to age until she became the Hag of Beara again. Traditional also says that on February 1, you could tell how long the winter was going to last. If it was a dark, overcast day, the Hag was sleeping and winter would end soon. If it was sunny, it was going to be a longer winter because she was up and burning her fires.
The Scottish tales of Beira are a little different. According to Wonder Tales from Scottish Myth and Legend (via Sacred Texts), Beira aged as summer approached and used all her power to prolong the winter with storms and frost even into the spring months. Finally, she headed off to the Green Island of the West, and on the last night of winter she would drink from the island's Well of Youth. Her youth restored, she headed back to Scotland and slept the summer away as a beautiful maid. By midsummer, she was an adult, by autumn she was elderly, and when winter returned, she returned to her haglike and horrible appearance.
The divine, uber-feminist rainbow
Zulu folklore has some incredible beliefs about the power of the rainbow, and they're documented in the book Zulu Thought-patterns and Symbolism.
They taught that at least one end of the rainbow always touched the ground and water because that's where the divine snakes, born from the rainbow, live. Any pool of water a rainbow touches was believed to be home to these snakes, which had the power to swallow a man whole. If a woman approached the pool, though, she could politely petition the divine Princess through the rainbow, and ask for whatever it was she wanted most. Childless women in particular were told to ask the rainbow for help conceiving, and — somewhat less heartwarming — ugly girls were told to watch for the rainbow so they could ask to be made pretty.
Men and boys were also told to be aware of the rainbow and not walk beneath it. Rainbows were thought to be responsible for bringing an incurable illness to any man unfortunate enough to walk near one.
The saint that brings the rains in England
St. Swithun is the patron saint of Winchester Cathedral and, like many saints, his story is a mixture of history and legend. He was a real person who was born around 800, and he was a counselor to kings until his death in 863.
According to Historic UK, his dying wish was to be buried outside beneath the rains. And he was for a while, but in 971 the Bishop of Winchester decreed that he should have a burial more befitting his life's work and status as patron saint. He was moved inside, and this is where the legend starts. After he was interred, the entire area was stricken by 40 days of storms as he expressed his heavenly displeasure. From then on, if it rained on St. Swithun's Day (July 15), it was said to be a sign it was going to rain for the next 40 days.
There's at least one massive, St. Swithun's Day storm on record, and it happened in 1315. But unfortunately, the story of the 40-day rainstorm beginning when his bones were first moved actually stems from a medieval mistranslation of old texts. So for centuries, people looked to the skies on St. Swithun's Day because some medieval scribe or translator goofed up.
The Ice Saints
Historic UK says many people believed church saints held some power over the weather, particularly over the areas and days they were most strongly associated with. St. Godelieve was thought to influence the weather in Flanders on July 6, while St. Medard, St. Gervase, and St. Protais flexed their stormy muscles in France on June 18 and 19.
The faithful in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Germany, and Poland believed in the power of the Ice Saints, a group of bishops and martyrs who had feast days in mid-May. Just who makes up the group varies; it always includes St. Mamertus, St. Pancras, and St. Servatius (May 11, 12, and 13), and Poland typically includes St. Boniface (May 14). There's also occasionally St. Sophia, who has her feast day on May 15 and is sometimes called Cold Sophia.
According to the book Holy Holidays, the ice saints ushered in a period of freezing temperatures. Living in Germany says they're commonly called the cold gardeners or the icy men, and they're responsible for a cold snap called Eisheiligen. It's only after their feast days pass that the weather is guaranteed to be stable enough for planting crops, and in Germany, they're also said to be behind chilly nights in June, known as the Iron Nights.
The power to summon the winds and storm
Throughout history, people rumored to be able to summon and control winds and storms. Sir James George Frazer wrote about some in The Golden Bough (via Sacred Texts), and it's a fascinating fixation mankind has always had with storms.
In Greenland, women who were pregnant or who had just given birth were thought to be able to cause a storm by going outside, taking a mouthful of air, going back into the house, and exhaling. Finnish wizards were known to sell the wind — more precisely, they sold ropes tied in three knots. Untying the first knot would summon a moderate wind, the second knot would summon hard winds, and the third knot would summon a hurricane. That particular belief was so powerful that neighboring Estonians held Finnish wizards in high regard. Scottish witches summoned the wind by hitting a wet rag against a rock three times and reciting a chant, while the people of New Guinea believed it was the natives of Bibili who could summon the wind with a huff.
There were ways to stop the wind, too. The Khoikhoi could stop gusts of winds by hanging up skins, which would knock the wind to the ground when they were blown down. Ancient Corinthians wrote about a family said to know how to calm even the most vicious of storms, while in Sumatra, villagers besieged by storms would slash at the wind with swords to send it away.
The crop thieves of the sky-people
One of the most bizarre weather tales was told by the most unlikely of people: Saint Agobard of Lyon. He was born in the late eighth century, and most of his writings were of the typical religious and political bent. But according to The Cambridge History of Magic and Witchcraft in the West, he also wrote about wizards called the tempestarii. It was a long-held belief that they had the power to cause thunderstorms and hail, but when Agobard recorded them he suggests they were probably just men and women who dabbled in old pagan beliefs.
In 815, he wrote "On Hail and Thunder," an essay that describes the popular belief that these weather-controlling wizards were working hand-in-hand with sky people from a place called Magonia. It was a widespread belief that the sky sailors paid the weather wizards to call storms and damage crops, which were then loaded onto the sky ships and taken home. Agobard calls it "so much foolishness," but also adds it was so accepted that he had seen people taken prisoner, chained, and interrogated by villagers convinced they'd captured thieves from Magonia.
Some have taken Agobard's writing to be more than just a commentary on the weather, and scholar Jason Colavito says it's been interpreted as one of the earliest records of UFO sightings. Either way, it's a pretty epic story.
Here, boy! Here, wind! Come 'ere!
The ocean is a scary place, even by modern standards. Imagine sailing across it on a few pieces of wood nailed together, and it's easy to see why sailors would want to come up with stories and superstitions that might give them some agency in the face of a giant piece of Mother Nature they really had no control over.
A sailor might be tempted to whistle away a jaunty tune, but according to Melville's Folk Roots, there were a series of guidelines built around whether someone should whistle. Whistling was thought to call the wind, and in cases of calm skies and seas, sailors might whistle in hopes of raising winds and getting on their way. But they needed to be careful, because sudden winds were thought to herald the Devil. If whistling brought a strong gust, they were certain the Devil was now on board. Even worse, he was probably there because the whistling had made him insanely angry, and no one wants to deal with an angry devil — especially surrounded by the nothingness of the sea.
That's definitely not a pot of gold at the end of that one
Rainbows are one of nature's most beautiful weather wonders, but for the Karens of Burma, they were something very, very different. According to their lore (via The Karen People of Burma: A Study in Anthropology and Ethnology), there are a few different versions of the story, but a common one is that rainbows in the western sky were actually the spirit of Hades, setting up funerals for his children. More than that, it was a reminder of the importance of a proper burial, as neglecting the dead would bring tragedy to a family. Those foolish enough to point at a rainbow like this one had better stick their fingers in their belly buttons or risk bringing disaster into their lives.
So western rainbows were harbingers of tragedy, but eastern rainbows were just as heartbreaking. Women who died while pregnant were thought to be forever separated from the earth, the sky, and their loved ones, and their only way of quenching their thirst was through a rainbow. On the rare occasions when a double rainbow was seen in the east, it was said to be the spirit of the woman's husband visiting her.


Now that we are well into 2017, there is growing concern over the polar ice caps melting. The extensive use of fossil fuels has global warming experts concerned about the rising sea levels. The polar ice caps are indeed melting at speeds faster than scientists originally predicted in years past. Antarctica and Greenland house more than 75 percent of the world's fresh water and can increase the oceanic levels by over 246 feet.
So what will happen to coastal states if the polar ice caps continue to melt at their current rate? Coastal states, provinces, and countries are vulnerable to long-term flooding, tsunamis, and hurricanes. What does this mean for California, Florida, and other coastal states? New Orleans, Miami, San Francisco, Houston, Philadelphia, Charleston, and Norfolk will all be submerged under water.
Solar panels aid in reducing global warming by decreasing the use of fossil fuels, which increase greenhouse gases. Solar energy is a free source of sustainable energy from the sun. Modern solar panels allow homeowners with the ability to take advantage of this energy. Tesla Powerwall allows homeowners to harness this energy and use it during times when the sun is not actively charging the solar panels.
Installing solar panels allows homeowners the ability to join the fight against global warming. Contact Infinity Solar today to learn more about solar panel installation and find out how you can create a home with renewable energy.

London never fails to come up with some quirky food ideas. Cereal sold by the bowl at Cereal Killer Cafe in Camden, a place dedicated to porridge at 26grains in Covent Garden and a place in Soho called Hipchips that just does crisps and dips!
Now there's somewhere with a queue out the door whipping up the most Instagrammable dessert ever. Soft serve ice-cream, loaded with toppings and wrapped in sugary candy floss cloud.
All thanks to the people at MILK TRAIN!
Milk Train opened it's doors in August 2016 and social media has gone mental for their ice creams.
We're not talking your standard Mr. Whippy with a Cadburys flake that we all know and love. This is ice cream like you've never seen it before and should definitely be on your must eat in London bucket list!
Choose from 3 flavours of vanilla, matcha or roasted green tea. 9 toppings including popcorn, sprinkles and biscuits. Drizzled with 2 sauces of caramel or chocolate. Then for an extra £1, the whole things is wrapped in a huge mass of white sugary candy floss!
Prices start at £3.50 for ice-cream, 50p per topping and £1 for the candy floss cloud. It's a big old treat and you definitely get your money's worth. There are seats inside and the line goes down quite quick so don't be put off.
Then it's time to do what everyone does and go outside and take this picture.
These are so pretty! I keep seeing matcha ice cream in people's pics, and it looks so nice, but at the same time I'm not sure how it would taste, I'll have to just give it a try and see for myself!

However when I visit localhost/b4pv2 it redirects automatically to htdocs/index.php. I have no .htaccess files and no rewrite rules...etc. anywhere as a consequence and can't figure out why this is happening.
If I create an index.php file and put it in that directory it in the b4pv2 directory it still redirects and if I create a sub directory in htdocs with an index.php file it still reverts back to htdocs.
Bizarely I can access my css files...etc. without any issues though in the browser.

I discovered Traditional Chinese Medicine during my world tour, back in 2011, when I was reading about asian culture. It was then when I met Chandler, who at that moment was working with Dr. Feng Ninhan in Hangzhou, China. Three years later I became a patient at her freshly new practice in Barcelona, where she treated me for my stomach problems related to stress. My condition and state of health not only improved but I also learned how to balance my body as well as include easy exercises in my life in order to maintain my health (diet, exercise,…).
I would totally recommend Chandler as a practitioner, because she studied both western and traditional Chinese Medicine and she has the ability to explain very clear the case mixing both branches, with a non-biased opinion (something unfortunately not common) and she presents all the options to you before any decision. She makes you feel like a patient instead of like a client.

The 7 Stages Of Binge Watching A Show On Netflix
By Odessa DeMarco, February 28th 2014
While carrying my laptop around the kitchen today because I couldn't even pause my show to make lunch, I had a horrifying thought: "What did the world do before Netflix?". My heart started to race as I imagined the Netflix servers going down during the zombie apocalypse. Binge watching a tv show is one of my favourite things to do when I'm having a lazy week, and without Netflix my atrocious hobby becomes about ten times more difficult. I'm currently at episode 21 of Nashville (a show I'm a bit embarrassed to admit I watch) which I began four days ago. As I approach the end of the only season that's on Netflix I thought I'd document the process I've gone through many, many times.
1. You have an evening in and don't feel like starting a movie, maybe a new tv show is a good idea. You scroll through the TV show genre on Netflix searching for the rare show you haven't already tried watching before.
2. You start the pilot with low expectations. Not great, but pilots are usually awkward. I'll give it another episode to win me over.
3. It's suddenly 1:00 am and you're at episode four. You've officially made a commitment and now you feel obliged to at least finish the first season.
4. Two days later and you've finished season one. You promised yourself you would leave the house today. But it ended in such a cliffhanger!!! Ok just the premiere of season two. Then you'll shower. Maybe.
5. Halfway through season two. You begin to feel like you live in the same world as these characters. You spend the entire day at work counting down the hours until you can get home, get a bowl of cereal, crawl into bed, and continue watching.
6. A week in and you're on season three. You've adapted to creative ways to do things while still watching your show. You're way beyond the point of being embarrassed about taking your laptop to the bathroom with you.
7. Season three finale. You only now realize season four is currently on air and you're going to have to wait a week to watch each episode like some peasant. You feel irrationally upset about this. A normal person would probably feel release and begin returning to a social life, you just feel the need to fill the void in your life with another show. Must resist repeating the cycle…

A Derby mum has criticised the operator of a city centre car park for "unclear" and "unfair" signs - becoming the second driver to speak out on the issue.
In December, Derby student Heather Cooper parked in a similar spot next to the car park by the currently-closed Bounce Revolution, Siddals Road, and was fined £100.
She argued that the signage "was not clear" before being threatened with court action.
Now Leanne Hollins has come forward with a complaint after she parked in the same car park, off Siddals Road, on September 8 in order to take her five-year-old daughter Poppy to an appointment.
Mrs Hollins, of London Road, Derby, paid for a ticket and parked in a space next to Bounce which she believed was legitimate.
However, she was hit with a £100 fine before eventually having to pay £160 to Vehicle Control Services (VCS) for parking in the wrong spot.
Miss Hollins was given 14 days to pay a reduced cost of £60 but as time elapsed, the charge increased to £160 which was added due to debt collection costs.
The 39-year-old claims the signage was "insufficient". She added: "I drove into the car park, and around the car park and parked in a space and paid at the nearest pay machine. I had a ticket and parked in a space that I thought was correct.
"If you drive in a car park, and look for a space, then park in a space opposite a pay machine, you assume that the pay machine goes with that space.
"People should not park there. It was unfair to charge me when I was right next to the car park".
The mum-of-one appealed the initial charge twice with VCS. It was turned down both times and she then went to an independent adjudicator.
At the start of January, an adjudicator at the Independent Appeals Service found that the "signage was sufficient" at the car park.
It adds: "I would expect any driver to look around the vicinity of their car once they have parked and be able to see a sign.
"In this case there is large sign which says 'Welcome to Bounce Revolution' at the entrance of the car park.
"Next to this, there is a sign on the lamp post next to the Appellant's parked car which contained the terms and conditions of parking on the private land in question.
"Whilst the sign on the lamp post may have been facing the other way to the Appellant's parked car, more importantly there is another sign on the wall opposite to the Appellant's parked car which would have been clearly visible.
"It can never be a defence to a claim in contract law to say 'I did not read the terms' so long as the existence of those terms is reasonably advertised.
"The Appellant turned right, into a one way system and entered the Bounce Revolution car park.
"The signage in this area of the car park is mainly red. I am therefore satisfied that the difference would have been noticeable to any reasonable motorist".
Mrs Hollins has said she would be paying the fine and has sent a request to VCS to pay it in monthly installments.
A spokesman for Vehicle Control Service Limited said: "In the area of private land in question on Siddals Road, there are two car parks; one is for customers of the Bounce Revolution, which is patrolled by Vehicle Control Services (VCS) Limited, and the other is a 24 hour Pay & Display car park operated by Excel Parking Services (EPS) Limited.
"These car park are clearly distinct areas and signage for each car park is different in that VCS Limited is mainly coloured black and red and EPS Limited is blue and yellow.
"The VCS sign at the entrance to the Bounce Revolution car park states that it is for "Customer Parking Only whilst on the Premises" and there are five other repeater warning signs located around that car park.
"The vehicle was observed parking at the Bounce Revolution car park but the driver was not present at the Bounce Revolution - a fact verified with the Duty Manager by our Patrol Officer on the day in question.
"As such the parking charge was correctly issued. Despite the driver being unsuccessful when utilising our appeals process, she took up her option to also appeal to the Independent Appeals Service (IAS).
"The IAS adjudicator also declined the appeal and in the absence of settlement of the parking charge, matters have naturally progressed to the debt recovery stage and the amount of the parking charge has increased in line with due warning given on the notices we have issued".
They caused more than £200,000 worth of damage overall.

Chef Cordelia is shaking things up in the Southern California wedding scene with her rebrand and relaunch of The Lodge at Malibou Lake. You might recognize this Agoura Hills venue by its former name, Malibou Lake Mountain Club. Chef Cordelia, the Exclusive Caterer, has energized this beautiful venue by successfully merging classical-romance with eclectic-cool.
The Lodge at Malibou Lake it is a hidden gem in the Santa Monica Mountains, surrounded by sycamore and oak trees, with a private lake view. The historic Lodge was built back in 1936 and has recently been refreshed and redecorated by Chef Cordelia. It now has eclectic furnishings (similar to a Millwick or SmogShoppe vibe) mixed in with romantic and classical outdoor Malibu nature vibes. You get the best of both worlds at one local Southern California wedding venue!
The Lodge at Malibou Lake is managed Exclusively by Cordelia Culver Peterson, the Executive Chef and Owner of Chef Cordelia Catering! The Lodge hosts weddings, parties, and corporate events. They have both indoor and outdoor event spaces and they only book one event per day. The Lodge comes fully furnished with wooden dining tables, cross-back vineyard chairs, cocktail tables, dishware, dessert tables, and stylish lounge furniture. When you book the Lodge you'll have exclusive use of their facilities, furnishings, and parking lots.
You can have your wedding outside, framed by oak trees and a rose garden, overlooking a private lake. The GREAT LAWN has 20,000 square feet of lush green space and has recently been updated with hundreds of new plants (including aromatic climbing jasmine) and beautiful new grass. They have a circular ceremony arch you can use for your ceremony too!
Imagine your Malibou Lake view wedding ceremony here!
Wedding couples and their photographer can take wedding portraits by the side of the lake, along the garden paths and around the wooded lanes of the extensive private property.
The Lodge requires all couples to hire a professional wedding planner to seamlessly plan and coordinate the logistics of their wedding! Art & Soul Events has already planned two Malibou Lake Weddings (under the former management, pre-renovation) and would be delighted to go back!
The FRONT PORCH is a covered outdoor space overlooking the lake, perfect for the cocktail hour.
The LIBRARY BAR is a cozy, stylish bar, and lounge area off of the BALLROOM where guests can chill out in comfortable armchairs while sipping a fresh cocktail.
Brett and I thoroughly enjoyed our delicious freshly muddled berry mules!
We dipped these delicious meatballs in fresh marinara! YUM!
Everybody loves a grilled cheese bite dipped in tomato soup! Am I right??
The BALLROOM is a gorgeous, large formal room with wood floors, paneled walls, high ceilings and new industrial-modern chandeliers. The large bay windows overlook the GREAT LAWN and Malibou Lake. The BALLROOM has space for dinner seating for up to 180.
A delicious group tasting at The Lodge at Malibou Lake!

Brett of Loie Photography and I were invited to a delicious Family Style Tasting at The Lodge! The delicious dinner included a Romaine Caesar and Field Greens Salad, Grilled Vegetables, Smokey Mashed Potatoes, Wild Mushroom Pasta, Grilled Chicken Breast with Grilled Fruit Salsa, and a Beef Tenderloin with Horseradish Remoulade. I am still dreaming about those smokey mashed potatoes.
We ended the meal with a choice of fresh baked pies including strawberry/rhubarb, key lime, and fresh cherry! I chose key lime because that is one of my all-time favorites!
One of the things I love most about The Lodge at Malibou Lake is all of the furniture they include in their venue rental package. Table, chair, and lounge rentals for a 150 person wedding can easily add up to more than $10,000 on a standard rental order. When you host a wedding at The Lodge, you don't have to fuss with all of that because furniture is included in the Malibou Lake venue package.
The Lodge has a stylish inventory of dinner chairs, wooden farm tables, ceremony chairs, a circular ceremony arch, cocktail tables, eclectic lounges, a stylish bar, cake table buffets, and a large wooden buffet or dessert bar. They also have modern dishware, glassware, and a full onsite kitchen for their catering team!
Thank you Loie Photography for all of these fantastic photos!

It's almost that time of year my friends!!! New Year new me post will be flooding our social media feeds by storm in just a few days! I'm not exactly one to do the whole resolutions thing. It's always been something I have rolled my eyes about. However, I am all about goals and goal digging! New Year goals are totally something I can get behind since goals are more realistic than a resolution.
Hubby and I are hosting a few guest at our house for a NYE dinner, drinkies & most likely games! I have major CEO syndrome & end up either dominating games or I start planning your demise if you beat me, so to break up all of that nonsense I thought I would be fun to throw a little goal sharing into the mix.
So if you're on my invite list, you will be mapping out a few goals and when you wake up the next morning reaching for your water & never wanting to drink again, you will at least have some positive-ness in your life since you mapped out a few goals while sipping that bubbley.
Too far away to map out 2017 with me?!?! You can do it in the comfort of your own home by printing your own printable by clicking away at the file below!!!
These printables are awesome!! Making goals is so important and having a way to organize yourself is SO important. Love this!
Good advice! Sounds like a fun New Year's activity. Resolutions are hard to keep, but long term goal are definitely more obtainable!
This is so cool! I alway think about finding a word of the year now there are no excuses. Totally pinned this to work on my goals. Thanks for making it a printable.
Love setting goals and having a really positive start to the new year. I have recently streamlined my goals and made them more attainable - so its been much more attainable to reach! Happy 2017!

I never thought about a word of the year before. That is really something I'd have to think hard about...and def. a good question to ask everyone!
Those printable are so cuteee! I love them. My new year's party is complete now. Thank you!
This is really cute! New Year's is one of my favorite times of year, I love setting goals and reflecting on all the great adventures we had in the previous year and setting plans for new adventures to come!
This is such a genius idea. It's also a nice alternative to the usual resolutions, which most of make but don't keep. Can't wait to print this out and see it sitting on my desk every day.

I love the wording of this. What I will accomplish! Set the plans right and start the year off making the right decisions!

How awesome is this, love the idea and I would love to print some to share to friends and family.

I LOVE this! It's not overwhelming like most goal sheets. Normally goal sheets are too comprehensive or complex for me, but this doesn't make me panic - it gets me excited because they all seem totally attainable!
Yes!!! I'm all up for these sort of things. I love coming up with new year's resolutions and seeing my progress while the year is about to end. Thank you for this!

The printables can really remind you on what to focus for the New Your. They have nice designs too.

I really like the design. I think this is one of the only goal-making printable I will actually enjoy and am excited to use!

These are great printables!! I can't wait for the new year!!
This would be fun to fill up during a new year's party! I think it's awesome and it's a great way to start thinking about your goals for the New Year!
