In 2012 Orienteering Canada released its much-anticipated Long Term Athlete Development Model (LTAD). Since it's release the LTAD has seen integration into athlete programs, coaching certification, race guidelines and just about every other aspect of orienteering in Canada.
You can find orienteering's long term athlete development guide is here (14mb).
For those of you with slower download capacity, here is a 5mb version.
Now, four years since the LTAD's release, we are building on the work of the original LTAD committee to create an Athlete Development Matrix (a document which describes what skills athletes should be learning at each stage of development) and a series of tools to help instructors, coaches, and program administrators implement this matrix throughout their programs.
To date, we have created two resources which are works-in-progress: a technical skills progression document and development chart which show the technical skills that should be taught at each LTAD stage of athlete development from Active Start (0-6 years) up to Train to Train 2 (~age 16).
Technical Skills Progression Document – For each LTAD stage, it shows the technical skills broken down into their fundamental elements and listed in the order they are best taught. This document is useful when trying to put together a multi-week program to help the lessons flow from one week to the next.
Technical Skills Development Chart (printable version) – For each set of skills, it shows how skills are developed over time and to what level you should expect athletes in a given LTAD stage to perform in a given set of skills. This can be a useful tool for both coaches and parents to help assess where an athlete is at.
Note: Both of these documents use terminology that would be considered "standard orienteering lingo". It is worth noting that this is not necessarily the best language to explain the concept to young athletes. It is best to use clear language that they will understand (eg. checkpoint instead of control) to explain different concepts at different ages. Standard orienteering terms can be introduced as athletes become more familiar with orienteering.
As part of the Athlete Development Matrix Project, Orienteering Canada is starting to collect a bank of lesson plans that will be available to instructors and coaches across the country. To kickstart this initiative GVOC has shared their lesson plans for the 2016 spring season of the Orienteering Adventure Kids (OAK) program. Thanks GVOC!
Additional individual exercises can be found here.
Stage – one of the 9 stages of athlete development as laid out and defined Orienteering Canada's LTAD guide. Also referred to as LTAD stage.
Athlete – an individual who is learning orienteering and/or other sport skills. Athletes may or may not have competitive aspirations and goals.
Set of skills – a group of skills that lead directly from one to another (such as compass skills). A set of skills might include skills that don't fall directly under the group name. These skills are included because they are a part of the direct chain of progression of skills in the set. Some sets of skills are introduced right at the Active Start stage while many sets are not introduced until later.
Skill domain – one of the "four pillars of the ADM": technical/tactical skills, physical skills, mental skills, and life skills.

Authorities in the UK have determined that arson attacks against two kosher restaurants in Manchester over the past week were "antisemitic hate crimes," according to The Jewish Chronicleon Wednesday.
The Greater Manchester Police department said in a statement that the fires at The JS and Taam restaurants in Prestwich are believed to be "linked," and have begun an investigation into the attacks.
According to The Jewish Chronicle, security footage captured two attackers targeting the Tamas restaurant with Molotov cocktails last Friday, smashing windows and causing extensive damage.
In the early hours of Tuesday morning, arsonists forced open a window at JS restaurant, pouring in flammable liquid which they then set alight, The Jewish Chronicle added.
Detective Chief Inspector Charlotte Cadden of GMP's Bury Borough said the police were "treating these as antisemitic hate crimes.
"This is clearly very worrying for businesses and people living in the area and I want to offer you my assurances that we have increased patrols in the area and have a team investigating these linked crimes.
"We are working alongside the Community Security Trust and if anyone in the area has concerns, I would urge you to come and talk to us.

Eye on Independent Gaming Development: Sonata of Melancholy
I propose a question to you my brothers and sisters at TG, have you ever loved a series or franchise of gaming so much that you'd dedicate you life to seeing that franchise or series grow by making your own game? Well one such young woman that I had the chance to speak to today gave me her answer: "Yes". I had the opportunity to speak with "Sammi" lead designer for an independent Castlevania project entitled "Sonata of Melancholy". Now a lot of us remember the good 'ol days of gaming, back when the newest fanciest graphics engine didn't way on our minds. What did, was story, and gameplay, that's what mattered to us.
Sammi has spent the last 4 years writing a new story for the Castlevania series and working on a design for a new game in the series. She has a long road and a lot of work ahead of her, but I think she'll get there. Now for those of you not familiar with "Castlevania" take a look at this: ...

Battlefield or Battlefailed? A TG'ers impression of Battlefield 3
Created by: PaintScratcher
So last night after some wrestling with PunkBuster I finally got a few rounds of BF3 in, here are my first impressions and opinions on how the game will play out in the future.
BF3 is without a doubt the most anticipated release of the year at TG, BF2 and 2142 were the most popular titles here for a long time and with BF3 being the clear sequel it certainly has some pretty hefty shoes to fill. A large marketing campaign certainly helped to whet the appetite and prepare us for what is an undoubtedly huge release, the gaming world was hungry for more as fan-boys fanned and haters hated. Amid much speculation and a healthy does of trolling the BETA finally hit, throwing many a cat among the hordes of pigeons. We finally had our hands on what would presumably be a thoroughbred Battlefield game, a shining light in the swarms of botched console ports and CoD clones. Well not quite. Plagued with bugs, missing features and the tears of hardcore fans the beta opened the flood-gates to a tsunami of requests, flaming and rage. But would DICE listen? Would the thousands of threads on forums and twitter conversations manage to turn the game around into a game we will be playing long into the future? Well read on to see what I think and make your own decision!...

12 Things We Learned From Michael Ovitz's New Book
CREDIT: REX/Shutterstock
Michael Ovitz still has nothing good to say about Michael Eisner. He and Ron Meyer started to patch things up over dinner a few years ago at Hamasaku, the sushi restaurant that Ovitz owns in West Los Angeles. And the famous threat Ovitz delivered to Joe Eszterhas about having "foot soldiers" marching up and down Wilshire Boulevard? Totally exaggerated in Eszterhas' retelling via the press.
Those are among the anecdotes and tidbits shared by Ovitz in his new book "Who Is Michael Ovitz?," due out Tuesday from Random House's Portfolio imprint. The book isn't so much a tell-all as it is a take-credit-for-(nearly)-all that went down during Ovitz's 20-year run as the monarch of CAA.
The 384-page tome offers exhausting detail on how CAA reshaped the movie business in the 1980s and '90s with its approach to packaging, and how Ovitz engineered the dealmaking behind such notable films as "Rain Man," "The Last Temptation of Christ," "Stripes," "The Color of Money" and "Schindler's List."
The book offers a good primer on the backstories of the high-level corporate dealmaking that Ovitz pursued in his last decade at CAA, from advising Japan's Matsushita on its purchase of CAA to Sony Corp.'s acquisition of Columbia Pictures to the sale of MGM to France's Credit Lyonnais.
But overall the book doesn't offer too much in the way of fresh dish, even as Ovitz goes into detail on his friendships and ruptures with one-time friends such as Eisner, the former Disney chief, and Meyer, his former CAA partner who is now vice chairman of NBCUniversal.
Here are 12 things we learned from a speed-read of "Who Is Michael Ovitz?"
In the late 1980s, Meyer twice came to Ovitz to ask for CAA's help in paying off gambling debts — one for $5 million and one for $6.5 million. Ovitz put Meyer on a tight budget and temporarily took away his credit cards, or what Ovitz describes as putting Meyer "in handcuffs." (A source close to Meyer disputes those dollar figures as highly inflated and stressed that Ovitz never made a personal loan to Meyer. The source also noted that Ovitz never contacted Meyer for fact-checking.)
Ovitz's describes a complicated relationship with Meyer, one of four William Morris Agency reps who left that agency in 1975 with Ovitz to launch CAA. The idea to hang out their own shingle was Meyer's, Ovitz says. The two had a good-cop/bad-cop relationship when it came to building CAA. "Ron was the soul of CAA and I was the ass-soul," Ovitz writes. Moreover, "Ron was the Warren Beatty of agents, able to cut a wide swath and never get called out."
Just call them the original Avengers. "One of the strongest bonds Ron and I shared was a belief that any betrayal must be avenged," Ovitz writes. The book is full of stories about Ovitz using his fearsome industry muscle to maximum effect.
To wit, when Bernie Brillstein took the job as head of motion pictures for Lorimar in 1986 without telling Ovitz in advance, CAA froze Lorimar out when it came to shopping material and stars. That contributed to Brillstein's short two-year tenure at the company, in Ovitz's view.
As for the Eszterhas affair, Ovitz maintains that he gave the screenwriter the famous line: "My foot soldiers who go up and down Wilshire Boulevard each day will blow your brains out" as a suggestion for Eszterhas to use in explaining to his former agent, Guy McElwaine, why he wasn't prepared to rejoin him at ICM. Eszterhas, in Ovitz's interpretation, ratcheted the tension for dramatic effect when he shot off a letter to his lawyer that happened to make its way to the trades.
The most heartfelt thank-you Ovitz ever received from a client came from David Letterman after Ovitz steered his relocation to CBS following "The Tonight Show" imbroglio at NBC in 1993.
What was it like to work at CAA during Peak Ovitz years? "Our corporate culture was American team sports boosterism mixed with Spartan military tactics mixed with asian philosophy all overlaid by the communitarian spirt of the Three Musketeers."
When Ovitz started in the mailroom at William Morris Agency, he made $55 a week. By 1985, he owned 55% of CAA.
Ovitz's misery during his 13-month tenure as president of Disney began the day he went to Eisner's home to review the press release to be issued about his appointment. On that day, Disney's Sandy Litvack and Stephen Bollenbach "ambushed" Ovitz by informing him that they would not report to him. Barely a year later, Ovitz was incredulous when Eisner fired him but still offered to host Ovitz's 50th birthday party.
Artists Management Group, Ovitz's post-Disney management-production venture that flamed out quickly, was ahead of its time in trying to produce short-form content for online platforms.
After the AMG flame-out, Ovitz writes that he regrets using the term "Gay mafia" in a Vanity Fair interview to describe the forces in the industry that conspired against AMG.
Ovitz declares Endeavor's Ari Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell to be the rightful heirs to his throne as the titans who are achieving the diversification that Ovitz yearned for with CAA. He also described his sadness when he realized that private equity giant TPG now controls CAA.

Next in the series on Mike's Jerky is this Mesquite variety. See my reviews of other flavors from Mike's Jerky.
This Mesquite beef jerky is described by the company as, "A nice smokey BBQ flavor - Yum!"
Beef, sea salt, black pepper, chile pepper, red pepper, oregano, dehydrated vegetables (onion, garlic, red bell pepper), demerara sugar, natural mesquite smoke flavor, citric acid, silicon dioxide.
The first thing I taste from the surface of these pieces is a light smokiness and a light chile pepper flavor. Some saltiness comes in.
The chewing brings in some of the natural meat flavors while the smokiness ramps up just a bit. I can also get a little of the oregano.
For being marketed as "Mesquite", it seems to hold up well. I do notice a defined smoky flavor on the surface of these pieces as well as in the chewing.
But to describe this simply as "Mesquite" is to ignore all the other seasonings that went into this. I get a nice chile pepper flavor, along the garlic and onion. Even the oregano is noticeable. I can also pick up light touches of the sugar, along with the spiciness of black pepper. It's actually quite bold and holds up to the company's description of "smokey BBQ flavor".
I can even pick up a faint tanginess in the chewing.
The natural meat flavors come through in smaller amounts compared to the company's other flavors, perhaps due to the heavier seasoning blend. But there's enough there to let you know you're eating beef.
In terms of spiciness, it's still mild, there's no heat to this.
Mike's Jerky sells this Mesquite variety from its website at a price of $15.00 for a 6oz package. If you bought 4 packages, the shipping works out to $6.95 if sent to Southern California. That comes to $2.79 per ounce.
For general jerky snacking purposes, at the $2.79 per ounce price, it's a good value. I'm getting a lot of snackability for an overall great flavor, good meat consistency, and good chewing texture. Compared to other brands of jerky, the price is slightly higher, yet it offers better flavor and a better overall chewing experience.
As a Mequite beef jerky, at the same $2.79 per ounce price, it's a good value. I can pick up a good mesquite flavor both on the surface of these pieces and in the chewing.
This Mesquite beef jerky from Mike's Jerky not only offers a noticeable smokiness, but dumps a complex blend of seasonings anchored by chile peppers, black pepper, garlic, oregano, and a touch of sweet. There's even a light tanginess in the chewing to mimic something like BBQ. Even the natural meat flavors come through in a light amount.
And true to New Mexico style beef jerky, it's sliced thin and dried crisp to give you a snackable little crunch, yet chews like real meat.
If you're looking for a dry, thin style jerky, with a smoky, BBQ flavor, this one from Mike's Jerky is one of the better ones I've had.

Geographic Names of Flintshire, Wales.
Review of the book: Owen H. W., & Gruffydd, K. L. Place-names in Flintshire. Cardiff: University of Wales Press, 2017. 272 p.
Received 10 October 2018
Abstract: The new book on the toponymy of Flintshire is notable in several respects, including the scope of the study that goes well beyond the geographical borders of this county. This review addresses the virtues and the shortcomings of the publication. Two academic monographs, several books for a wider audience, and a number of articles had already been devoted to Flintshire's geographical names. A new study is considered against this background and includes an analysis of the book, its features, and the evaluation of the authors' contribution to the study of the toponymy of North East Wales. The book covers 801 geographical names of 753 places in Flintshire (Welsh Sir y Fflint) before the administrative reform of 1994. Given that 62% of the toponyms under study (including those that disappeared from modern maps) are Welsh, the review focuses on the analysis of this set of data, with attention to chronological layers and the etymologies of some geographical names, as well as their translation into English. The author points out that the English layer of Flintshire's toponymy deserves a more detailed coverage. The layout of the data in this work makes it possible to express some considerations regarding the general trends observed in the toponymic studies of Wales.

Q: Android Room implementation with background threading handling queries I am recently trying to learn Android and I am very new to backend knowledge e.g. threading and stuff. I got Room figured out and try to integrate it with front end component. So, I am not worried how front end adapting the data I want it to present. I have the problem trying to design and implement the integration in a clean way using thread and trying to implement threading since I am new to it.
Here is my code.
Database.class
@Database(entities = {Groups.class, Member.class}, version = 1, exportSchema
= false)
public abstract class DatabaseConfig extends RoomDatabase {
    private static final String DATABASE_NAME = "db";
    private static DatabaseConfig INSTANCE;
    public abstract GroupDao groupDao();
    public abstract MemberDao memberDao();

    public static DatabaseConfig getDatabase(final Context context) {
        if (INSTANCE == null) {
            synchronized (DatabaseConfig.class) {
                if (INSTANCE == null) {
                    INSTANCE =
                        Room.databaseBuilder(context.getApplicationContext(),
                            DatabaseConfig.class, DATABASE_NAME)
                            .addCallback(DatabaseCallBack)
                            .build();
                }
            }
        }
        return INSTANCE;
    }

    private static RoomDatabase.Callback DatabaseCallBack =
        new RoomDatabase.Callback(){

            @Override
            public void onOpen (@NonNull SupportSQLiteDatabase db){
                super.onOpen(db);
            }
        };
}

GroupRepo.class
public class GroupRepo {
    private final GroupDao groupDao;
    //ExecutorService es = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();

    public GroupRepo (Context context){
        DatabaseConfig db = DatabaseConfig.getDatabase(context);
        groupDao = db.groupDao();
    }

    public List<Groups> getAllGroups(){
        /*
          So my idea is to have some sort of threading implement from here
          and use executor.run() to run my query and capture data
         */
    }
}

Groups.class
@Dao
public interface GroupDao {
    @Query("SELECT * from groups")
    List<Groups> getAllGroups();

    @Query("Select * from groups where groups.id = :groupsId")
    GroupAllMembers getAllMember(int groupsId);

    @Insert
    void insert(Groups... groups);

    @Delete
    void delete(Groups groups);
}

I am not going to post my Entity class since my intention is not about that. I am fairly new to background threads. Please help and ideally provide some example to help me understand.

A: There are two ways to handle this: if you are doing the query on the database for UI view, I'd recommend your Day return LiveData> and then put that inside of a viewmodel. All of this is covered in Android docs.
If you are doing it in a service or don't want to interact with UI simply do this:
Thread(Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        // Do your stuff here with Room
    }
}).start()

FORT WORTH, Texas, April 10, 2019 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — 4818 Records announced today that Texas based band, The McGrath Project is following up its last massively successful record which sold over 500,000 units worldwide with a new chart climber entitled, "Closet Full of Skeletons." This record features special guest instrumentalists such as Mark White of the Spin Doctors, Tim Bogert of Vanilla Fudge, Luis Conte of the James Taylor and Phil Collins bands, Walfredo Reyes jr. from Chicago, and Susan Cloud, a Dallas/Fort Worth Blues singer and whose daughter was a recent finalist for "The Voice."
The record's first single, "Hollywood Vampire" has been picked up by more than 30 radio stations across the continental U.S. including Dallas/Fort Worth's, 97.1 The Eagle, 97.5FM Pirate Radio, KHTS 1220 AM in Santa Clarita, Calif., and Indie 103.5 FM and LA Talk Live in Los Angeles Calif., to name a few.
The music video for "Hollywood Vampire" gets released on YouTube.com on April 13!
Band members Gary McGrath (frontman and guitarist), Alexandra Pritchard (vocals), Bob Prince (bass), David Smith (drums), Juan Navarro (hand percussion), and Pete Alvidrez (keys), signed a distribution deal with Fort Worth based record company Smith Music Group for the release of "Closet Full of Skeletons" with a few music videos being released to YouTube along with national distribution in digital, CD, and vinyl formats.
"I'm really excited to have this on vinyl, I have never had a vinyl release before and to have that medium come back is just fascinating to me," said David Smith.
"This record began with taking demos I have recorded with various friends over the last 10 years and finally finishing them up with the current band of great musicians. It really turned out to be something special," said Gary McGrath, frontman for the group. "The name 'Closet Full of Skeletons' came from that idea that these were songs from many parts of my life that were finally getting shared with the world."
The digital release of the record, which includes 5 bonus songs not available on vinyl, becomes available on iTunes and other online outlets on April 13, 2019.
The vinyl pressing becomes available on May 10 and the CDs, with 2 other bonus songs also not available on vinyl, are available now through the band's website: http://www.themcgrathproject.com/.
The CDs and vinyl will be available in over 200 retailers across the country.

There are few events in life that seem to carry as much pressure as the bar exam. Not only is the bar exam the culmination of years of focused study and loads of student debt, but for many people it validates their personal competency and serves as the final obstacle to achieving their professional dreams. In other words, the bar exam is a really, really big deal – both personally and professionally – to most students.
Because so much is riding on the bar exam, a disappointing result can feel absolutely devastating. For some students, failing the bar exam can feel so catastrophic that they actually need to mourn the result. Not to trivialize the loss of a loved one, but the five stages of grief associated with loss may be very similar to some of the emotions you may feel after receiving a disappointing bar result. Identifying these stages may help you manage your emotions in the days and weeks after receiving your results and eventually help you look toward the future.
When you don't see your name on the bar exam pass list, you may initially be in a state of shock. You'll probably check the results a few times because you may not be able to believe what you're seeing. After all the buildup and weeks of hard work, it's perfectly understandable that accepting a bad result will be difficult. The shock and denial you feel might be compounded as you hear about friends and acquaintances who did pass, particularly if you feel that those students didn't work harder or put in more effort than you did. You may feel isolated and you're probably dreading having to face all those people who will be asking about whether you passed. But try to remember that you are not alone – there are plenty of people in the same situation. Reach out to friends who also didn't pass so that you have someone to commiserate with and find a way to accept the sympathy of your friends and family.
As stunned as you may initially be at your bar result, eventually reality will set in and you will recognize that you have to live with this result for the time being. With so much time, money, and effort invested in the bar exam, you may eventually start to feel really angry about not passing. You might be angry at the people who passed when you didn't, you might be angry at friends or family who distracted you from studying, or you might be angry at the bar examiners. But most likely, you'll be angry with yourself. It's easier said than done, but try not to beat yourself up too badly! Yes, the result is disappointing, but you probably won't gain much from being angry about it at this point. Instead, try to be kind yourself, evaluate what went wrong in your study plan, and redirect your anger into positive energy that you can harness for the next round of studying.
Anytime we experience a disappointment, we're tempted to think that things would have turned out better if only we had done some something different. As you're coming to terms with your bar result you may be thinking that you would have passed if only you had worked less hours, if only the essay questions had been on different topics, if only you had devoted more hours to studying, if only you hadn't experienced a computer glitch on exam day, etc. Some of those things may be true and some may not have made much of a difference. While there is definitely value in rationally analyzing what you can improve for next time, there's no point in fretting over what could have gone differently on the last exam. Do your best to find a balance between putting the past behind you while taking care not to repeat the same mistakes twice.
You're probably going to feel sad, disappointed, and maybe even a little embarrassed that you didn't pass the exam, and that's okay! Take some time to feel upset and grieve this setback. It will probably be difficult to see other students celebrating their pass results, getting sworn in, and starting their legal careers. But sooner rather than later, you will have to gear up to start studying for the next test administration. So after you've spent the weekend binge-watching bad t.v., eating sugary snacks, and isolating yourself in your apartment, find some healthy ways to cope with your emotions and get yourself back on track. Reach out to supportive friends and family, exercise, and think about all of the people who failed the bar exam (sometimes more than once!) but went on to become highly successful people. Remind yourself that this is a temporary setback that you can overcome with perseverance and hard work.
Eventually, you will get to the point where you've accepted the result and learned to live with it. You may still feel disappointed in the outcome, but you no longer see it as a catastrophe. Failing the bar exam is definitely something that can be overcome, and when you do finally succeed in passing the test, the achievement will feel that much sweeter knowing that you endured some difficult challenges.
The most important thing to remember is that you are most certainly not your bar result. The bar exam is one test over a 2-3 day period and it often doesn't reflect all of the effort, skills, or other positive qualities you possess. The real test may not be how you faired on this one exam, but how you choose to respond to a disappointing result. You may need to mourn a bar exam failure, and as you do you may feel some or all of the five the emotions associated with the five stages of grief, but as you do, try to remember that the bar exam does not define you.
Are You Feeling Like the Only Person Who Failed the Bar Exam?

If you don't fancy a day on one of the sandy beaches near Penzance, or you aren't in the mood to explore one of the many pebbled or rocky coves nearby, we have loads of ideas to occupy you and your family. Check out what is available nearby below or alternatively read our blog post on Penzance Pleasures for other ideas.
Although Land's End has become a much more commercial enterprise over the last few years, it is still well worth a day out with the family. Although you will have to pay for parking, entry to the site itself is free. The four experiences provided by the attraction have to be paid for – we found that buying a ticket that gives you admission to all four is the best value. There is a 4D film, an Arthur's Quest interactive experience, Greeb Farm with lots of small animals and Air Sea Rescue display – all of which will entertain the family. Free activities include art and craft shops near the farm, an exhibition of 'End to Enders' – those who have travelled from Land's End to John O'Groats – and the iconic Land's End signpost, although you will have to pay for a photo with the name of your home town on the post! Check the website before your visit as there are often extra exhibitions or firework displays to mark historical or seasonal events. The views of the rugged coastline are astounding, and there are cafes and ice cream shops around the site. Dogs are allowed, and there are some beautiful walks along the coastal path that start from the Land's End attraction. If you are very lucky, you may even witness the emotional arrival of some End to Enders, or see someone about to set off – a crowd of well-wishers outside the entrance is a sign that someone's journey is about to begin – or end!
Rowena Cade's vision of an open air theatre overlooking the Atlantic Ocean is awe-inspiring, and when you consider that the construction was the work of one woman and two gardeners over decades of winters, the result is nothing short of amazing. A Shakespeare play is performed each year, and there are also other productions, including those that would appeal to smaller children. Having the Atlantic Ocean as an ever-changing backdrop adds atmosphere and excitement to the plays, and performers have to be on their toes as a pod of dolphins, a rainbow or sudden downpour cannot be ignored and need to be worked into the fabric of the play somehow! Please make sure you are properly prepared for the performance – expect a change of weather and take cushions to sit on, as the granite and concrete seats can become uncomfortable for a long stretch of time. Performances continue through rain showers, and umbrellas are forbidden as they would block the view of spectators behind, so invest in some waterproof clothing if the forecast is looking grim – cancellations rarely happen. This is an experience not to be missed, however, so do check the schedules and go along. The Visitor's Centre is open throughout the year for those interested in the history and construction of the theatre, and nearby Porthcurno Beach is also worth a visit.
Geevor Tin Mine was a working mine until 1990, and it is now a wonderful reminder of Cornwall's tin mining heritage. You can take an underground tour through part of the mine itself, practise panning for minerals, and investigate the tools used in every stage of metal processing. Our favourite part is the miners' dry (locker rooms), which has been left exactly as it was on the day the mine closed; the atmosphere there is one of expectancy and anticipation that reaches every visitor. You can see boots and clothing hanging there, looking for all the world as if tomorrow mining will continue just as it always has done. There is a huge amount to do and look at, and a café providing amazing pasties. Well worth a visit.
As you approach Marazion you cannot miss St Michael's Mount – a place of mystery and myth that dominates the horizon. It also never looks the same twice, as the sunlight and weather can play tricks so that colours change and mists hide…….. Whatever the conditions you will find you can't take your eyes off the Mount and the way it rises out of the sea so near the shore. At low tide the Mount can be reached on foot across the Causeway – but do not estimate the speed of the tide or the slippiness of the cobbles if you leave your exit a little too late, as people are often seen rolling up trouser legs with their shoes in their hands as the waves once again reclaim the Causeway! As the Mount itself is owned by the National Trust entry to the Castle and gardens needs to be paid for, but you can walk across the Causeway and have a gentle wander around the Harbour for free (look for Queen Victoria's footprint!) At high tide local boatmen provide a reasonably priced ferry service on demand from the small jetty behind the Godolphin Arms to the quay on the Mount. Read more about St Michael's Mount.
Another National Trust property in nearby Madron, the gardens are a product of Victorian plant collectors, and as such there are many horticultural wonders to be seen. Unfortunately the house is not open to the public as it is still occupied by members of the original family, although Trengwainton has something to appeal to all plant lovers, and dogs are actively encouraged as long as they are on a lead – you can even collect a biodegradable poo bag from reception! There is a tea room in a sunny walled garden, and many events happen in the grounds throughout the year – with pumpkins, scarecrows and mud pies all making an appearance!
This is a fascinating place to visit, although you need to bring your imagination! Nestled deep in the beautiful countryside are the remains of an Iron Age Cornish village. You can clearly see the outlines of the dwellings, and there are information boards with historical information written on, but the true beauty of this place lies in the peace and the atmosphere that surround it. Soak it up and admire the views over the coast that have remained unchanged for centuries.
This wonderful mix of art and nature near Gulval combines sculpture with exotic plants in a way that constantly surprises you as you wander around. The art installations change regularly, and the fact that the plants are relatively young means that regular visits to Tremenheere will always turn up something new for many years to come. Facilities are good with a fabulous café that can provide picnics as well as a restaurant menu, but do check opening times as the gardens are closed throughout the week in the winter.
If the weather is still kind enough to be outdoors, there are plenty of gardens around Penzance worth a visit.
Penlee Park contains Penlee House – a gallery and museum that contains examples of the Newlyn School of Artists. There is an admission charge throughout the week, but if you decide to go on Saturday, admission is free. There is a café and shop with an introductory talk given on your arrival, before you even get to have a stroll amongst the sub-tropical plants around the gallery. There is even a playground for children to let off steam as you wander around more sedately. During the summer Penlee Park plays host to outdoor theatre, and has a programme of productions that take place each summer – keep an eye open for the current programme so you don't miss anything.
Morrab Gardens are public gardens that lie right in the centre of Penzance itself, making it an ideal stopping off point for a bit of sanctuary as you are exploring the town centre. The climate here means that visitors from out of town will be surprised by the variety of plants you can find in gardens around Penzance – it is certainly worth taking a stroll through and seeing what you can find.

Петро́ III  (;  — ) — імператор Росії (1761—1762).  Представник династії Гольштейн-Готторп-Романових (офіційно — Романових). Чоловік Катерини II. Батько російського імператора Павла I. Убитий заколотниками з відома своєї дружини.

Імена
 Петро́ III, або Пьотр ІІІ () — російське тронне ім'я із порядковим номером правителя.
 Петро́ Фе́дорович () — за московською традицією.
 Карл-Петер-Ульріх Гольштейн-Готторпський ) — справжнє німецьке ім'я.
 Карл-Петер-Ульріх Шлезвіг-Гольштейн-Готторпський ()

Ранні роки
Народився у місті Кіль (Німеччина). Син герцога Карла-Фрідріха Гольштайн-Ґотторпського і дочки Петра І Анни. Готувався зайняти шведський престол, але з 1742 був проголошений імператрицею Єлизаветою Петрівною (його тітка) спадкоємцем російського престолу, незабаром охрещений за православним обрядом і названий Петром Федоровичем.

У 1745 одружений з принцесою Софією Фридерикою Ангальт-Цербстською (, майбутня російська імператриця Катерина II).

Правління
У січні 1762 вступив на російський престол. За правління Петра III у внутрішній політиці проведено ряд заходів, що розширили привілеї дворянства (1762), ліквідував Таємну канцелярію, заборонив селянам подавати скарги на їх власників тощо.

Ставлення до України
Петро III підтримував сімейну традицію прихильного ставлення до України: його батько був добрим знайомим Пилипа Орлика, а при голштинському дворі служили українці. Серед його найближчого оточення було чимало вихідців з Гетьманщини — генерал-ад'ютант Андрій Гудович, флігель-ад'ютант Василь Ханенко, Степан Карнович, Михайло Будлянський та інші, що сприяли формуванню проукраїнських настроїв у новообраного імператора.

Зовнішня політика
У зовнішній політиці орієнтувався на зближення з прусським королем Фрідріхом II. За Петра III Російська імперія припинила воєнні дії проти Пруссії у Семирічній війні 1756–1763. У перший день воцаріння з відповідною місією новий монарх направив до прусського короля Андрія Гудовича. Згодом було укладено союзний договір. Петро III, готуючись до війни з Данією (в союзі з Гольштейном), оголосив про набір в Україні добровольців до так званого Голштинського корпусу.

Зовнішня політика Петра III, запровадження прусських порядків в армії, призвело до створення опозиції в російській гвардії, яку очолила його дружина Катерина. Внаслідок палацового перевороту 1762 року був усунений від влади, ув'язнений у Ропші й незабаром, з відома Катерини II, убитий.

Q: MySQL : Use JSON_ARRAY content in SELECT IN query I got the two following tables
In the 'items' table, desc column is a JSON array
Table items
+--------+--------+-------+
|item_id | name   | json  |
+--------+--------+-------+
| 1      | Item 1 | [1,2] |
+--------+--------+-------+

Table descriptions
+----+-------------+
| id | description |
+----+-------------+
| 1  | First desc  |
+----+-------------+
| 2  | Second desc |
+----+-------------+

I would like to retrieve all the descriptions for a prticular id.
I have tried this, with no luck:
SELECT id, description
FROM descriptions
WHERE id IN (SELECT JSON_EXTRACT(json, '$[*]')
             FROM items
             WHERE item_id=1)

A: You can use JSON function json_search(), which is available from MySQL 5.7 onwards:
select i.item_id, i.name, d.id, d.description
from items i
inner join descriptions d on json_search(i.json, 'one', d.id) is not null
where i.item_id = 1


Hello everyone! Below are the festival dates for my first 4 shows of 2018. As you can see I am changing up the Florida events completely from last year. I'll miss going to Mount Dora especially (first time in 3 years I won't be there). For the 5th show (in May) I am still waiting to hear from Artsplosure in Raleigh - I am hopeful for a return but I don't think they send out artist invites until the beginning of March.


Looking for advice: We are planning on a trip to explore Regensburg, Berchtesgaden and Garmisch. I want to take the train as I am a little nervous about doing it by car in Germany. My husband wants to rent a car.
Looking for advice from people who have rented car in Germany to assure me that it would be better to drive vs. train travel. I realize we would probably see more if doing it by car, just can't seem to get over the fact that we are in a foreign country with unfamiliar roads and road signs.
NEED SOME RE-ASSURANCE AND ADVICE!
How about assuring your husband that you'll have a blast using the trains? You can take a road trip practically anywhere in the world, but using a workable train system is still an unusual adventure; it will add a layer of "European-ness" to your European adventure.
You'll be able to people-watch as you travel -- you can observe people from all walks of life, from every age and income bracket, and see how they interact and behave. You can buy snacks and drinks and enjoy them on the train while watching the beautiful scenery slip by. You may be able to strike up a conversation with a seat-mate who wants to practice English. You won't have to worry about one-way streets or traffic jams or accidents or the high cost of gas.
I don't agree that you'll see more by using a car -- well, you may see more, but you'll experience less because you'll be tempted to blow by many places instead of lingering and soaking up the atmosphere.
And of course, using the trains is more green (yaaay!), so you'll be helping to preserve the beauty that you came to see.
Btw, I'm an American living in Garmisch, and I gave up my car when I moved here in 2008. Don't miss it a whit.
I have done both, in Germany, and enjoyed both.
IMO you are going to have a LOT more flexibility if you have a car and you can go to MORE places. BUT you have to remember that there will be the costs of fuel and parking in many cases. Driving...isn't hard in Germany and on autobahns I think you'll find the drivers are much more courteous in terms of staying OUT pf the passing lanes (except when passing) than they are in the US. Roads are well-marked and the driving rules not that different; parking rules and marking on the other hand in towns can be a bit different.
But seriously, what "unfamiliar roads and road signs?" Have you ever driven on a "new" road in the US? Was that all that "unfamiliar?" I think you are being nervous over nothing but that's probably because you haven't done it yet. And BTW who is going to be doing the driving? You? Your husband?
And yes, I understand for people who haven't used trains much, or have only used them in the US, the idea of taking the train and somehow being "out of control" can be a little intimidating.
In your case, just to get from A to B I think you really DO need to consider rail transportation. It is fast and efficient and well-run. Tickets are easy to buy and the folks you end up dealing with in stations often, very often, understand and will speak English. Signage is easy to understand.
Car is faster, more convenient, and depending on your schedule cheaper as well. I can see highway signage being somewhat intimidating for a first timer and parking signs indecipherable but you can find signs and their meanings all over the internet. Get a GPS with your rental and then alles gut.
Trains annually take longer, is not as convenient, and you have to pay attention to make sure you get off at the right stop. Buying a ticket can be intimidating if you have never done it before because of the amount of options. The perk is that you don't have to drive.
Language data point: I have been on several trains in Germany where the ticket person DID NOT speak English, so be prepared for that.
Trust me...cars are NOT always faster in Germany. That definitely depends on the route. And please, I am sure you are smart enough to know what station to get off at.
You can look ar scenery instead of the road.
Bathroom and snacks available anytime.
No need to worry about parking the car.
No directions to follow, just listen for your stop.
With a bit of info from the internet, buying tickets not a problem.
I agree cars are not always faster, but then tend to be faster than the RB or RE.
If it's your first time on a train and you don't have a list of stops, it's easy for the announcer to say what stop they are coming up on and not catching the name, especially when you're not used to hearing the language spoken. It's happened to me in other countries.
I've driven a good bit in Germany but now use trains and the occasional bus connection only. Regensburg, Berchtesgaden, and Garmisch all have train stations. You'll be flying into MUC, righgt? From train hub Munich, Regensburg and Garmisch are 1.5 hours away by direct train. B'gaden is 2.5 - 3 hours with one change of train (in Freilassing.) All these destinations are in Bavaria - so use the Bavaria Ticket (Bayern Ticket) daypass to get around - it's 26€/day for two. The BT is good for buses too - you can take the bus out to the Königssee from B'gaden, for example. No parking fees, no sleazy agent tricks, no traffic, navigation or insurance worries - just get on, break open the lunch bag and a bottle of wine, and enjoy the view.
We have driven in a few European countries incl Germany. It is very easy and as someone else mentioned, no different than driving in an unfamiliar city in your home country. I do think it is extremely helpful to have a good GPS system. We have done both trains and car rental and will continue to do both depending on where we are headed and the circumstances, but would never hesitate to use a car in Germany.
Yes, you COULD go all by train but a car is preferable for this particular itinerary, IMO.
Go where you want - when you want - and for how long you want. Also great for spur of the moment decisions to see something that catches your fancy.
Driving in Germany is quite simple with or without a GPS. The road signs are intuitive and simple - "stop" and "yield" are the same as the US, a "red circle" means don't do what's shown in the picture inside the circle, a number inside a red circle is the maximum speed limit.
We have done numerous road trips in Germany and in the areas you're talking about I think a car would be more convenient and give you much more freedom. Driving in Germany is easy (but you MUST take the rules seriously).
Make sure you have good road maps - Michelin are recommended - since GPS can't often account for detours, accidents, etc.
As for parking - just learn a few basics - names of days of the week - and understand the 24 hour clock and all will be clear.
Both are good choices - just different. Everyone has their preferences. I like trains in Germany and I like driving in Germany - I do have a preference for trains and will choose the train over the car unless I am going somewhere that isn't well-served by trains or if I want the flexibility to stop enroute or poke around the local area.
But rest assured, if you drive, driving in Germany is very nice. Signage is good, roads we well maintained, drivers follow the rules. The only thing that I DON'T like about driving in Germany is driving in old towns with narrow streets, lots of pedestrian-only streets, one-way streets, etc. That can get damned confusing. So my advice is for those types of towns, if you visit as part of a day trip, just park outside the old town and walk. If you overnight, pick a hotel on the edge of the old town.
You must make a choice. I always rent a auto. I like to go where and when I want. I have been traveling to Germany since early 70. Parking has never been a problem and is reasonable. If I go to a large city,i park outside.Gas is part of my budget and for a months rental I budget 500. have a great trip.
It's a different experience. By train you get to city centers and stay at a city center hotel (which tend to be more expensive than cozy little places in the country); but it is relaxing to take the train. With a car you can choose the prettiest Landstrassen (I would only take Autobahn if time is an issue), stop in tiny towns here and there, go out of your way for something worthwhile (the Michelin Green Guide is a great resource for routes and sights), and maybe stay in a Gasthaus off the beaten path with parking and great food (worth researching in advance). As many have said, both are great, but you will likely see and experience different things.

AP source: Lakers on verge of acquiring Dennis Schröder
FILE – In this July 29, 2020, file photo, a security guard wearing a face mask stands near a basketball arena inside thre NBA bubble at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. The NBA had teams in the bubble for three months. The NHL playoff bubble lasted 65 days from the time teams arrived in Toronto and Edmonton, Alberta, until Tampa Bay won the Stanley Cup. Officials from both leagues beamed that mask, distancing and other protocols were still being followed strictly on the final day. (AP Photo/Ashley Landis, File)
The NBA offseason, such as it was, is over. A wild few days of decisions and player movement await.
Teams may begin making trades Monday, according to a memo sent to teams and obtained early Sunday by The Associated Press. And the first deal known to be tentatively agreed upon would send guard Dennis Schröder from Oklahoma City to the champion Los Angeles Lakers for Danny Green and the No. 28 pick in Wednesday's draft, a person with knowledge of that agreement told the AP.
That trade is likely to be finalized after the draft, the person said Sunday on condition of anonymity because the swap cannot be formally announced until it is completed and has league approval. ESPN first reported the details of the trade.
The "temporary transaction moratorium" across the league ends Monday at noon Eastern, the league told teams. Also officially due Monday: All-NBA forward Anthony Davis' decision on his $28.7 million option year with the Lakers, one that he will formally decline in favor of signing a long-term and huge money contract with that club.
Nicolas Batum's $27.1 million option decision with Charlotte is also due Monday. Most other player and team options around the league are due Thursday. Free agent talks can formally begin Friday at 6 p.m. Eastern, and signings may begin Sunday, Nov. 22.
It's all part of what will become a whirlwind of player movement and other decisions in the coming days and weeks — barely a month from the end of this past season's NBA Finals. Teams are still waiting on their schedules for the coming season, the Toronto Raptors aren't sure if they will be able to play in their home city to start the season because of the challenge of getting teams from the U.S. across the Canadian border during a pandemic and plenty of matters regarding coronavirus testing still have to be worked out before training camps open next month.
The Raptors want to play in Toronto. They aren't sure if that will be possible, and Raptors President Masai Ujiri said in an open letter published Friday in The Toronto Starthat the team has "to look at other options."
"We are proud to represent our city and our country, and we hope to be able to do that while playing in Toronto," Ujiri wrote. "Cities in the United States have been very kind to us — they've offered us a home away from home. To them I say: Thank you. To you, I say that I hope we get to tell them we won't be able to take them up on their generous offer."
Preseason games — also still in some flux — would start around Dec. 11, and the season begins Dec. 22.
It took the league and the National Basketball Players Association several weeks to amend the collective bargaining agreement and establish the rules for the coming season. The CBA needed extensive revising because of issues caused by the pandemic and changes to the league's calendar.
For example, Davis' option date per his existing contract was to have been June 23. That, of course, wasn't feasible because this past season hadn't been completed — in fact, the Lakers and 21 other teams were still about two weeks away from reporting to the restart bubble at Walt Disney World in Florida. Option dates for 40 other players had to be revised, as did contract guarantee dates for 44 players, as well such things as trade exception deadlines that would have expired in July, like the $17.2 million one held by Golden State for the deal that sent Andre Iguodala to Memphis.
That particular exception now expires Nov. 23, and the $10.4 million one held by Oklahoma City as part of the Paul George trade is now good through Nov. 26. Even weigh-in bonus dates for a half-dozen players needed to be adjusted.
The league and union also agreed to change the CBA language regarding two-way contracts for this season, doing so to provide teams with greater flexibility for those players. Players who start this season on a two-way will be paid a flat $449,155 and will not be limited to what had been the standard 45-day limit with the NBA club; they will, however, be limited to 50 appearances on the regular-season active roster.
The formula for performance bonuses is also being adjusted because this season is to be a 72-game slate instead of the customary 82. If a player, for example, ordinarily had to play in 70 out of 82 games to trigger a bonus, he would have to play 62 out of a 72-game season to qualify for that money this season. If a team doesn't play the full 72 games and this season is shortened again, the bonus-calculating formula would be adjusted accordingly.

There's a good chance 'Moana' will end up at Magic Kingdom's Adventureland for good
Posted By OW Staff on Mon, Sep 25, 2017 at 10:47 AM

Moana's Village Festival at Hong Kong Disneyland
Earlier this year rumors were running wild regarding a major new addition of a Moana coaster in Magic Kingdom's Adventureland. In the end, it looks like Disney decided to greenlight a TRON attraction instead.
With over $600 million in box office sales, Moana ranks among the top grossing, non-Pixar animated films of all time for Disney (not adjusted for inflation) and those numbers don't include the millions in merchandise sales. There's even talk of a live-action Moana sequel.
With the film being such a success it's no surprise that Disney wants Moana to have more presence in its theme parks. A new Moana themed interactive stage show was announced for Hong Kong Disneyland in late 2016. Few details regarding the new Adventureland show were shared but concept art for it shows large props, interactive elements, and water effects all being featured.
After closing all Moana meet-and-greets at Walt Disney World earlier this year, a Moana meet-and-greet in Adventureland at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party has been one of the most popular aspects of the event with massive lines nearly every night.
Now it looks like Moana may end up at Magic Kingdom's Adventureland permanently. On the WDWMagic forums, industry insider and popular user known as 'marni1971' is reporting that Disney is looking to update the aged and less than crowded Enchanted Tiki Room attraction with a Moana overlay.
This wouldn't be the first time the iconic attraction has gotten an update. The Magic Kingdom opening day attraction received a major update in 1998 when Iago from Aladdin and Zazu from The Lion King were added. The "Under New Management" version of the attraction, which featured the Gilbert Gottfried voiced Iago screaming over many of the classic Tiki Room songs and berating the audience for not leaving fast enough, was never really popular. It closed in 2011 after a fire damaged some of the animatronics. The Iago animatronic is rumored to have received the most damage.
With this animatronic beyond repair, Disney supposedly decided that the cheapest fix would be to return the attraction to its original state. A shortened version of the original show has been running at the Magic Kingdom since August 2011.
The Tiki Room usually has little to no wait. It has been one of the rumored locations of Magic Kingdom's Club 33 but closing this attraction to replace it with a club for the one percenters would surely cause plenty of backlash for Disney.
The Moana update would likely include new animatronics since many of the current ones barely work. There would also likely be a mix of the Tiki Room songs and music from the Moana soundtrack. The soundtrack, which featured a song by The Rock and one by Jemaine Clement, peaked at number two on the Billboard charts and the Lin-Manuel Miranda written song "How Far I'll Go" was nominated for Best Original Song at both the Golden Globes and Oscars.
Beyond the Moana rumors, other possibilities for the Tiki Room include transitioning it into a restaurant, which lines up with the rumors of at least one of the three dining rooms at Skipper Canteen being turned into a Club 33 space, and adding Stitch, who currently stars in the Tokyo Disneyland version of the show.
No word on when any possible updates may happen but, as with all Disney World updates, it's likely these updates will occur before the 50th Anniversary in 2021.

Led by information scientist Dr. Carol Tenopir at the Center for Information and Communication Studies at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, the survey of 800 scholars found that in 2012, U.S. scientists and social scientists estimated they read, on average, 22 scholarly articles every month. Statistically, the results are no different from what was reported in the same survey given in 2005. This is the first time since the reading-habit questionnaire began 37 years ago in 1977 that scholarly article consumption hasn't increased.
The survey defines "reading" as reviewing more than just the title or abstract of a manuscript. It doesn't indicate whether articles are being skimmed more frequently than in the past. However, the reported time spent reading articles has deceased over the years. The most recent survey finds that the time taken to read each article appears to have bottomed out at just over 30 minutes. Researchers now report that they read more than half of their articles electronically.
Given that an increasing amount of information is available online, the survey questions themselves are becoming outdated, since it's been assumed by communications analysts that researchers always read manuscripts in their entirety. To the contrary, data suggests that "power-browsing" digital articles is common today, with scholars scanning for specific pieces of information.
The study is due to appear in the journal Learned Publishing.

Skiing returns to Nevada Athletics
By Kelsey MiddletonAugust 31, 2022January 6th, 2023No Comments
With an average of 22 inches of snow per year, Nevada Athletics decided to bring back the womens and mens alpine ski team. This is Nevada's seventeenth sport in the program and will begin hitting the slopes this school year.
Competition will begin in January and last until April. Nevada will compete in the slalom and giant slalom events. The new sport comes after the recent merge of the University of Nevada, Reno and Sierra Nevada University, which is now named University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe.
Although skiing is new this year, it isn't the first time Nevada has had a ski team. In 1936, Wayne Poulson established Nevada skiing. The program was cut in 2010 but produced many great athletes and awards.
The Nevada team produced four Olympians, five individual national titles, 39 All-America honors, and 14 top 10 team finishes at NCAA Championships. The four Olympians are Dodie Post Gann, Glenn Jobe, Katerina Hanusova Nash and Lane Monroe.
Brian Sandoval announced the new program on August 31 alongside Stephanie Rempe, Nevada Athletics director, and Mihaela Kosi, Nevada ski coach, inside the Basin Street Club at Mackay Stadium. Sandoval and Rempe were excited to add the ski team to Nevada and community members are already supporting them.
David Wise, Olympic gold medalist freestyle skier, attended the announcement. Wise was born and raised in Reno where he attended Wooster High School. Daron Rahlves, American World Cup alpine ski racer and freestyle skier, also made a presence.
Kosi is the former head skiing coach at Sierra Nevada University from 2018 to 2022. She was also a part of a 16 national title Eagles program. The national titles were in the U.S. Collegiate Ski and Snowboard Association Collegiate National Championships.
"Mihaela's accomplishments in leading Sierra Nevada Skiing to multiple national titles will prepare our program to jump right into action," Rempe said. "We are excited to have her lead Nevada Skiing's return to competition."
The ski team will compete in the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association, part of the Division I NCAA Championship sports. The division includes Alaska Anchorage, Alaska Fairbanks, Colorado, Colorado Mountain College, Denver, Montana State, Utah, Westminster College and Wyoming.
When it comes to the athletes, the team currently has Sierra Nevada University student athletes, a transfer and a Nevada student. Between the men and women, there are 13.3 scholarships available. The team will train all over the region including Mt. Rose, Palisades, Copper Mountain, and Mammoth. For more opportunities, the team is partnering with Sky Tavern.

Midtown is hip, exciting and perfectly situated in the heart of Atlanta. It has that big city look with that familiar neighborhood feel. Crowds dotting the streets of Midtown can be described as anything from trendy, eclectic, liberal to even dog-friendly.
MIDTOWN was first developed as a planned suburb in the 1800s. When Piedmont Park was opened, the area began to grow very quickly. Today, Piedmont Park is the heart of Midtown and often hosts important community events. As a result of Piedmont Park's importance to the community it underwent a huge expansion in 2011.
Today Midtown is a place the city's thriving arts scene fondly calls home. It's called the "Heart of the Arts" for a reason and artists and art lovers alike are drawn to this place. The Woodruff Arts Center on Peachtree Street is a busy hub for both visual and performing arts. Here you'll find the widely-acclaimed High Museum of Art with some of the best collections of classic and contemporary art not only in Georgia, but in the South. While at the Center you can also watch and hear the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra play at the Atlanta Symphony Hall, or catch a performance on stage at the Tony Award-winning Alliance Theatre. Just across the street is the MODA (Museum of Design Atlanta), which houses a fine collection of all things design, from the worlds of architectural, industrial, fashion, and graphic design. Further down Peachtree, close to Midtown's southern border stands the famed Fox Theatre, with its long history of Broadway shows and landmark concerts.
Whether you consider yourself a foodie, an artesian, or a lover of all things out of doors, Midtown has something to you offer you and your family.
