Epsom remained ahead throughout the match. Height in defence worked in the team's favour, with Jemma Dunevein (Rv), Emma Piggot (Rv) and Gabi Shea (Rv) disrupting the opposition in the attacking third. The ball was moved well down the court by Molly Needham (M), Anne Hindley (Rv) and Kiona Townsin, although passing accuracy must be improved. Fatima Kamarudin (Wh) and Henri Muller (Rv) both ensured that the team made the most of their opportunities.

Q: Why doesn't CodeIgniter use native PHP Sessions? The PHP Framework "CodeIgniter" provides a Session Class, which does not use native PHP-Sessions. Instead, they developped an own Session system using Cookies.
On their Website CodeIgniter.com they write the following:
Note: The Session class does not utilize native PHP sessions. It generates its own session data, offering more flexibility for developers.

As also mentioned below, only a maximum of 4KB can be saved.
Note: Cookies can only hold 4KB of data, so be careful not to exceed the capacity. The encryption process in particular produces a longer data string than the original so keep careful track of how much data you are storing.

So, how does this give more flexibility to the programmer at all? What was the actual Reason of the developers to not use native PHP Sessions?
Thank you for your Information!

3 Signs to Watch Before a Bank of Canada Announcement
By: Penelope Graham, Zoocasa
On July 11th, after seven stagnant months, the Bank of Canada hiked its Overnight Interest Rate by a quarter of a per cent, to 1.5%. While upward movement from the central bank is always noteworthy – its trend-setting rate is used by Canada's consumer lenders to set their own mortgage and investment pricing – this particular announcement had been closely watched by economists, mortgage brokers and consumers alike.
That's because, in the weeks leading up to the 11th, the market's sentiment bounced from bullish to bearish, and right back again, as Trump tantrums, weak inflation, and the threat of a tariff war threw forecasts into flux.
Will They or Won't They?
While the Bank had stuck to status quo in May, strong hawkish language used had practically cemented that a hike would occur come July with economic indicators pointing to an 80-per-cent chance, and more to come before the end of 2018.
However, economists were singing a different tune by the third week of June; as prolonged uncertainty over NAFTA, tense US-China trade relations, and Canadian-U.S. tariff retaliation
became reality, the probability of a July hike promptly sunk to 50/50.
The Financial Post even stated that the central bank of "caught between an interest rate hike and a raging trade war", while BlackRock, the world's largest money manager, formally revised its forecast for a hike.
Poloz's Speech Rallies Market Once Again
Just as quickly as the doom and gloom descended, however, it reversed. The main factor appears to be a speech given by BoC Governor Stephen Poloz. Speaking to an audience in Victoria, as well as a scrum of reporters, he iterated that any decision from the Bank would be strictly "data dependent" and that tighter monetary policy would be necessary in the short term, despite "mounting trade tensions."
"Data-dependency is what reigns… we wouldn't make policy on the basis of headlines. We make policy on the basis of how the data evolve," he stated.
"We've said clearly that, given where the economy is, we're in a situation where the economy will warrant higher interest rates. We'll ensure that that is a gradual process because there are certain issues that we must monitor along the way, and we've laid these out."
Interest rate bulls were suddenly back in business; with just a week to go before the July announcement, the chance of a hike had rallied back to nearly 82 per cent.
3 Signs to Watch For Before an Interest Rate Announcement
Such mixed signals certainly make for riveting headlines – but they're an absolute headache for borrowers and those trying to advise them. It can be challenging to gauge whether a variable mortgage or other floating-rate investment is a wise move when the message is constantly shifting.
And it's not as though the BoC hasn't taken the market completely by surprise before – remember the shocking rate cuts in January and July 2015, in response to plummeting oil prices?
However, there are some signs those keeping their finger on the interest-rate pulse can look to to inform their decision making. Here are a few economist hints to keep an eye on in the weeks leading up to the September – and future – rate announcements.
Investor activity: It always pays to look where the money is going. Those placing overnight swaps, making short trades, or are immersed in the bond market are always keenly attuned to the BoC's next move. An uptick in short positions on floating-rate assets indicates traders believe the cost of borrowing could fall, while swap trading spreads effectively price in the probability of a hike or cut. As bond investors dislike interest rate hikes – it instantly devalues their existing coupons, a pre-emptive sell off could indicate tighter monetary policy to come.
Economic data: As stated by Governor Poloz, the BoC is extremely data-dependent, moving the needle only when underlying fundamentals require it. This is why, for example, the cost of borrowing was kept at record lows following the financial crisis, remaining untouched at 1 per cent from September 2009 to January 2015, when the OPEC crisis prompted the BoC to lower it further. While Poloz has indicated that developing trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada to "figure prominently" in its decision making, more time is needed to determine how the measures will trickle down into consumer output and, namely inflation. In fact, the chances of a September hike have heated as of late, based on a recent surge in the rate of inflation to 3 per cent – the first time since 2011 – improved GDP, and job numbers.
Comments from Poloz himself: In the sake of improved transparency and to ease turbulence in the markets, Governor Poloz has made it clear the BoC is trying to better communicate their stance and forward guidance. Speeches made by Poloz or his deputy governors in the lead up to interest rate announcements often include thinly-veiled confirmation of what's to come on decision day.

A couple months ago my daughter asked me if I could paint a mural on her wall. She wanted some sort of tree branch with some birds as well. We scoured the internet and found a few designs that were nice, but none of them were exactly what she wanted. So together we came up with this design and I went to work.
The first step was to draw out the design. I drew it on a piece of paper originally thinking that everything would be black. After a little discussion, we decided that a little contrast in the design would look good. So in order to really see what we were dealing with, I photocopied my design onto a piece of purple paper. Her bedroom wall is purple, so this made it a lot easier to figure out just the right colors. I grabbed a gray and a white colored pencil and the picture on the right is what we came up with.
Now that we were happy with the result it was time to get to work… Fast forward 6 weeks later. Poor kid! Such a patient teenager, I think she figured it was never going to happen! I actually borrowed an old projector from our elementary school, but there just wasn't enough room to back up the projector to make the image large enough on the wall. So I grabbed a pencil and winged it freehand instead.
The next step was to paint the largest parts of the branches with black acrylic paint (I used Americana).
Then I used a liner brush to add all the flower sprouts and twirls.
Kristen wanted some shimmer in the design, so I used some Dazzling Metallics in White Pearl for the flowers and twirls and Shimmering Silver for the leaves.
I did go back over the flowers, but was pretty pleased with the coverage over the purple wall!
And traced the design with pencil. I removed the paper bird and painted it with the Shimmering Silver.
This looks AWESOME! I bet she just loves it so much!
Your newest follower. Love your unique ideas not the same old you see on every other blog.
this is so pretty! and i love the metallic touch too, makes it pop!
wow, that looks great! i love the shimmer.
Very pretty! I was going to add a tree to my daughter's bedroom makeover but I chickened out and changed the whole plan. This has me second guessing my decision. Although, I'm sure it would not turn out as nice as this one! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Amanda, your painting is really beautiful. I'm just starting to paint my daughter's room…you have inspired me to do something different. Will send a photo when it happens…hope your as patient as your daughter because it will take awhile.
AWESOME!!!! I have wanted to do a tree for my daughter. I actually painted one on a small canvas and hung it in her room. but I think I want to paint it on her wall. I took the inspiration from a rubber stamp of a tree….its a bare tree with curly limbs…very cute. not sure if i can do one on that big of a scale….
This looks beautiful! I like how the branch is coming out of the ceiling. Great job! I have a projector for doing this very thing ,but you did it free hand and that is awesome.

Murder on Easey Street: Melbourne's Most Notorious Cold Case
1977, Collingwood. Two young women are brutally murdered. The killer has never been found. What happened in the house on Easey Street?
On a warm night in January, Suzanne Armstrong and Susan Bartlett were savagely murdered in their house on Easey Street, Collingwood – stabbed multiple times while Suzanne's sixteen-month-old baby slept in his cot. Although police established a list of more than 100 'persons of interest', the case became one of the most infamous unsolved crimes in Melbourne.
Journalist Helen Thomas was a cub reporter at The Age when the murders were committed and saw how deeply they affected the city. Now, forty-two years on, she has re-examined the cold case – chasing down new leads and talking to members of the Armstrong and Bartlett families, the women's neighbours on Easey Street, detectives and journalists. What emerges is a portrait of a crime rife with ambiguities and contradictions, which took place at a fascinating time in the city's history – when the countercultural bohemia of Helen Garner's Monkey Grip brushed up against the grit of the underworld in one of Melbourne's most notorious suburbs.
Why has the Easey Street murderer never been found, despite the million-dollar reward for information leading to an arrest? Did the women know their killer, or were their deaths due to a random, frenzied attack? Could the murderer have killed again? This gripping account addresses these questions and more as it sheds new light on one of Australia's most disturbing and compelling criminal mysteries.
Helen Thomas has been a journalist for more than forty years. In 2005, Thomas spent months researching the Easey Street murders for Radio National's Background Briefing, shedding new light on the investigation. She is the manager of ABC News Radio …
