Woman creates heart-shaped Christmas wreath for £11 using Poundland decorations
With December just a week away, it’s time to talk decorations.
And one woman has created an amazing wreath for just £11.
It’s heart-shaped and full of festive colour, plus its fake foliage so you can bring it out year after year.
Laura Wheeler posted her created to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group and people loved the idea.
She said: ‘Plain heart wreath from home bargains £6 and £5 of things to stick on from Poundland. All stuck down with a glue gun ( also from Poundland) Total cost £11.’
The glue gun cost £2 with refills costing £2, but it can be used for other projects.
She shared pictures of the plain topiary grass heart she bought from the budget store and then showed what it looked like after she added all the decorations, including baubles, stars, dried oranges, pine cones and a gold ribbon at the bottom.
The post received 7,800 likes and over 522 comments with some people even suggesting Laura should make more and sell them.

One said: ‘You should make more of these and sell them you’d make a packet. I would definitely buy one of these from you.’
Another added: ‘OMG That’s gorgeous!! Well done. Are you selling them? I’d be interested.’
‘That’s gorgeous. Much nicer than any I’ve seen in the shops,’ someone else said.
After reading all the comments, Laura updated the post and said thanks.
She added that she wasn’t sure about selling them but she was planning to make more for friends and family.


Our History
The past is never dead. It isn't even past.
― William Faulkner
Colonial Farms has a rich history dating back to the early American colonial period. Please scroll down for a summary of our history, from 1744 to the present.
1744 – 1761
Early colonial American settlers typically located near a stream or a creek for access to valuable water resources, of which there was an abundant supply throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia.
Michael McQuire, a farmer, and his wife, Patience chose the Great Pipe Creek (now Big Pipe Creek) in Frederick County (now Carroll County).
Michael McGuire was born around 1694 and died in 1789 in Fredrick Co. Maryland. He was a Catholic. He married Patience Wells, daughter of James Wells and Ann Thornborough. The Wells were a Protestant family from Baltimore County.
The earliest available reference to Michael McGuire dates from 1735 and locates him among the first Catholic settlers on the Maryland/Pennsylvania frontier. McGuire apparently worked on the John Lemon farm from 1735 to 1737. This farm was located near Conewago in Adams Co., PA about midway between McSherrystown and Littlestown, just west of the Hanover Reservoir.
At Conewago, McGuire evaded religious persecution but was unable to avoid serious boundary confrontations between Maryland and Pennsylvania. Since both the Calverts and the Penns claimed the Conewago Valley, laws were difficult to enforce and border skirmishes became a frequent occurrence. These circumstances probably influenced McGuire's decision to move southward to the vicinity of Taneytown, a village founded by the Catholic Taneys in 1740.
McGuire had a survey done and obtained a Maryland patent in 1744 for 100 acres of land near Taneytown. The tract was named “Patience (and) Care”, after his wife.
McGuire was apparently not able to completely evade religious persecution in Maryland since McGuire was actually labeled a “Papist” in the official tax records and the official Debt Book of Frederick Co., MD.
In 1752, McGuire was once again drawn into the Maryland / Pennsylvania border disputes when, apparently, Dudley Digges, son of John Digges, was killed on the Kitzmiller farm at Conewago. The records show that Michael McGuire had to testify at this long trial.
In 1754, Michael McGuire purchased 785 additional acres along Pipe Creek from Henrietta Marie Dulany, widow of the prominent landowner, Daniel Dulany, Sr.
On 7 September 1754, another survey was made. The patent, RESURVEY ON PATIENCE CARE, was granted on 27 November 1754. This tract now consisted of 885 acres of land.
The new McGuire lands were evidently of considerable value since later legal records of the property mention a mill race and several tracts of timber. McGuire's prospects and those of his sons now depended upon their ability to profit from this investment.
However, the outbreak of war also resulted in tax increases, a circumstance which led Michael McGuire to present the following petition to the Frederick County Court in 1758: “To the worshipfull Bench of Justice of Frederick County the petition of Michael McGuire humbly therewith that your petitioner has so many years in this County and has Constantly and Cheerfully paid his public dues and would gladly continue to do so but am now being arrived at the age of sixty odd...and am likewise now very infirm and not able to labor and my family large (10 children) and has lately afflicted with the small pox which together with several other misfortunes now happening has greatly reduced me and worships according to your usual goodness release him in his great necessity from paying taxes.”
When this appeal was denied by the court, McGuire was forced to borrow large sums of money from gentlemen such as Charles Carroll, Barrister. Not until 1761 when Basil Dorsey released his mortgage on "Patience Care" did the McGuire's financial affairs begin to improve.
With his property free of encumbrances, McGuire was now legally able to transfer portions of his land to two of his sons, John and Captain Michael Junior.
Captain Michael McGuire (son of Michael McGuire, Sr. and Patience Wells) was born in 1717 in Fredrick County Maryland, and died November 17, 1793 in Allegheny Township, Pennsylvania. He married Rachel Brown on October 03, 1766 in Taneytown, Maryland. Captain Michael McGuire served in the Maryland Militia during the Revolutionary War and was a Revolutionary War hero who fought in Boston at the Battle of Breeds Hill in June 1775 and also fought at Yorktown which led to the capture of a British sword that remained in the McGuire family’s possession for generations. In 1788, Captain Michael McGuire lead a group of Catholics from Maryland to the area of his hunting lodge in Pennsylvania and formed a new Catholic community known as the McGuire settlement that later became known as Loretto, PA. Captain Michael McGuire donated over 400 acres of his tract to Bishop John Carroll, the first Catholic Bishop in America, for the purpose of establishing a Catholic Church and community at the settlement.
On 20 March 1761, Michael McGuire, Sr. and Patience sold to Joseph Dyer 331 acres from their RESURVEY ON PATIENCE CARE tract for 50 pounds sterling money of Great Britain.
1761 – 1778
Joseph Dyer was from Sussex County, West Jersey and was a saddler and farmer.
As new areas were being settled in early Colonial America, one of the first industries that was established were the mills, particularly the grist mills and saw mills.
The 1761 deed between McQuire and Dyer included a mill race and further granted the "free privilege of all the water in Great Pipe Creek to turn the said waters in the above said mill race for the use of a mill or mills or for any other use or purpose."
On 26 April 1763, Dyer had a survey made. The patent, DYER'S MILL FOREST, was granted on 30 May 1763 and encompassed 1,168 acres with the metes and bounds description also including the mill race.
On 26 February 1778, Joseph Dyer and his wife, Joannah, sold to John Groff 500 acres of DYER'S MILL FORREST on Big Pipe Creek, including the same mill race, for the sum of 2000 pounds current common money.
1778 – 1801
John Groff was a farmer from Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. During the American Revolution, there were many loyalists, or “Tories” as the Patriots called them, who remained loyal to Great Britain. Many from the German communities of Pennsylvania, including John Groff, did not support the Patriot cause in the Revolutionary War. This may have influenced John Groff’s decision to leave Philadelphia and come to Maryland in 1778.
In fact, in the History of Western Maryland by Thomas Scharf (p. 814), Scharf states that the grist mill was built in 1776 by two Tories named Groff who had been driven out of Philadelphia. They ultimately suppressed their opinions and eventually prospered in what was then Frederick County, Maryland.
The 1778 deed between Dyer and John Groff contained no metes and bounds description, but did state that it included all houses, buildings, orchards, gardens, meadows, water ways, water courses, etc. This was probably the part of DYER'S MILL FOREST on which the “stone dwelling house” and mill and/or mill race was located.
The Griffith's 1794 map of Maryland shows thirty-one mills in the area of present-day Carroll County. One of them is Groff's Mill and it is shown to be located on the south side of Big Pipe Creek. This is the first indication of the mill being of a commercial nature.
Tobacco was the major crop throughout Carroll County until Dr. John Stevenson, the "Father of Baltimore", influenced the wealthy Charles Carroll of Carrollton and others to switch to wheat and other grains. The cultivation of grains was less intensive than that of tobacco and more suited to the physical aspects of the soil, especially in the northern part of the county. Furthermore, the growth of the port of Baltimore provided an outlet to ready markets for grain or for milled flour. Before long, many more mills were built to accommodate the county’s increased grain production. Roads leading to these mills were built and most of these roads are in use today and still bear the name of the mill.
In Scharf's History of Western Maryland, it states that (in 1882) "west of Union Mills, on Big Pipe Creek, James E. Dodrer has a flouring mill, once called 'Old Groves Mills' but put down on the old map made a century ago as 'Groff's Mills'"
In 1787, John Groff, evidently sick and fearing that he would soon die, made a will in which his wife and ten surviving children were well provided for. He directed that his wife, Elizabeth, was to have sole use of two upstairs rooms and the privilege of using the kitchen in the home that his son, Francis, shared with her. If this arrangement did not suit them, he was to build Elizabeth a home that did.
Because this arrangement was requested by John Groff in his will written in 1787, the “stone dwelling house” would have been constructed prior to 1787, possibly in about 1781, if not earlier.
It was not until ten years later on 7 June 1797 that John Groff did die and soon after the tax assessments show that his heirs built a small stone kitchen and made improvements to the mill by 1798. Also, John’s widow, Elizabeth, quit her claim to her husband's bequests and elected to take instead her dower, or 1/3 of the deceased's real and personal estate.
In 1801, she deeded her widow's dower to her son, Francis, with a life estate provision which included the sharing of the “stone dwelling house”. At the same time, Francis recorded in the land records that certain provisions would be provided Elizabeth during her lifetime, which included, among other things, use of the northernmost half of the "stone dwelling house."
John Groff (born c. 1724 and died 1797) and Elizabeth Groff (born c. 1743 and died 1809) are both buried in the town of Silver Run at St Mary’s Church and cemetery, which was also part of the original 1,168 acre DYER’S MILL FOREST tract.
1801 – 1865
In 1801, Francis Groff, son of John and Elizabeth Groff, inherited the stone home and mills through his father's will and through his mother’s life estate agreement. Until her death on 9 June 1809, they shared the “stone dwelling house”.
By the end of the 18th century, the area which would become Carroll County had advanced well beyond the primitive frontier conditions of fifty years before. The conditions of daily life in 1800 were still harsh by twentieth century standards, but the population was small, good farming land was readily available and there was abundant opportunity for improvement.
Barns and farmhouses dotted the county landscape, but perhaps the most significant buildings were the grist mills which ground grain for consumption and for sale and export via the port of Baltimore. Because milling was such an important industry, many millers became quite prosperous.
The high prices for farm goods during the War of 1812, when a barrel of flour brought $14.00 (compared to the 1837 price of $7.62 per barrel), would have boosted farm production and mill income. Whether it was farm commodity inflation, war or just good business, Francis Groff became a prosperous man. He ran the farm and the mills until advancing age caused him to rent them; the mills to Jacob Bankert and the farm to George King in the years prior to his death.
Francis died on 28 August 1847 at the age of 85. He is also buried in the town of Silver Run at St Mary’s Church and cemetery. His wife Catherine Groff continued to live on the property until about 1865.
In 1865, Catherine Groff relinquished her right in the property and requested that it be sold and that the proceeds be divided as by will. The improvements on the property at the time of the sale consisted of a stone mill, a saw mill, three log houses, a two story stone house with back building, stone wash and smoke house, two spring houses (one of them stone), and two log barns. The property was sold in 4 tracts. It was at this time in 1865 that the “stone dwelling house” with 195 acres was separated from the mill property.
Catherine died in 1868, age 93, and was probably buried in Berk's County, Pennsylvania near her childhood home.
1865 – 1888
Abraham Nusbaum bought 195 acres of GROFF’S FORREST from the executor of Francis and Catherine’s estate. Abraham Nusbaum lived in a different district of the county. He let his daughter and son-in-law occupy the farm. He died in 1884 and left the "Grove Farm" to his wife. In 1888 it was advertised as having “a good quarry of excellent blue limestone”. It was sold privately to Absalom Leppo in 1888 at a lesser sum than originally paid for, after several unsuccessful attempts at public sales.
1888 – 1980
Absalom Leppo, who purchased the farm from Abraham and Ellen Nusbaum’s estate administrator, increased the acreage (212 acres) and possibly "spruced up and modernized" the house with the Victorian influence (i.e. front porch) since the price nearly doubled when it passed to John Humbert in 1912.
The property contained three dwellings, three barns, and other buildings plus four additional acres. The property remained with the Humberts for twenty five years when they ran into some bad times. The property was sold at a foreclosure sale in 1937 to David J. Wantz and his wife at less than one-half of the purchase price.
David Wantz, after his wife's death, sold the property to Truman R. AhaIt in 1974 with a life-estate provision for the stone dwelling house, two fields, shop and saw mill. The life-estate was surrendered in 1977, shortly before Truman AhaIt sold the house and property to Eric August Ganjon, Sr., except for two off-conveyances of about 16 acres.
1980 – Present
In February 1980, Eric August Ganjon sold this historic property to the Edward M. Kelly and Sons Partnership. The present owner, Stephen Kelly, who is the son of Edward M. Kelly Sr., purchased 170 acres from the Partnership in 1999.
The present owner has worked toward preserving the historic stone house, a smoke house and a lime kiln that date back to the 1770s or 1780s. To this day, this historic stone house continues to exemplify the home of a prosperous family of the mid to late 1700's. The house is also an excellent example of a mid to late 1700’s stone, two-story, five bay house with an early stone wing to the rear. The house still retains a good number of its original features (i.e., detailing, windows, doors, hardware, fireplaces, etc.) and feeling.
A large, four bay bank barn that was constructed in 1888, has also been preserved, along with other barns and outbuildings. Additionally, a mid to late 1800's summer house has been preserved as a tenant house. The nearby grist mill still stands today, although not currently connected to the farm.
Even today, one can easily visualize how the house and adjoining property must have been as it was during the American Revolution and the early colonial American period.

US takes aim at judges pay in new attack on WTO system
GENEVA: Judges at the World Trade Organisation can earn more than 300,000 Swiss francs tax-free for what is a part-time job, the United States said on Friday (Nov 22), in a fresh onslaught on its beleaguered arbitration system.
The Trump administration has been seeking to paralyze the WTO Appellate Body and experts say its likely demise next month is a further move away from multilateral rules designed to promote global free trade and toward a "law of the jungle".
For two years the Trump administration has been blocking appointments to the top body that rules on trade disputes, which means it will soon have too few members - just one judge - to function at all. The terms of the other two remaining judges end on Dec 10.
US ambassador Dennis Shea raised the fresh issue of compensation at the WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) on Friday. He drew ire from some members, trade officials said after the closed-door talks.
"Taken together, the amount of compensation and other payments realized per member has remained steady and at a high level – well in excess of (Swiss francs) 300,000 (US$301,175) for part-time employment," Shea said in a speech issued by the US mission.
Judges rule on an average of five or six appeals per year, he said, questioning their entitlement to a year-round apartment in Geneva.
"For purposes of comparison, we understand that this compensation is significantly more than the annual salary of a WTO Deputy Director-General," Shea said.
About 70 per cent of initial WTO rulings are sent for review by a three-person panel of the Appellate Body, making it central to binding settlements of international disputes.
Of the 13 disputes now on its docket, only two or three are advanced, having held hearings, trade officials said.
Major trading partners took the floor to react to the US remarks, trade officials said, including the European Union which told the talks: "The discussion on remuneration is only relevant if there is a functioning Appellate Body."
China said that if there were seven judges as designed, each would earn less, and noted that they don't receive pensions.
Norway's delegate used a phrase from the Game of Thrones to warn of tough times ahead: "Winter is coming".

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Gently heat the cream, vanilla extract and 1-2 tablespoons of sugar-substitute in a saucepan, stirring all the time so the sugar-substitute dissolves but the mixture does not boil.
Crack the two eggs and one yolk into a heatproof bowl and whisk. Stir the breadcrumbs into the warm cream mixture. Gently pour the cream mixture onto the eggs, whisking all the time.
Pour the mixture into four heatproof ramekins. Place the ramekins into a deep roasting tray and fill the tray with water until it reaches halfway up the side of the ramekins (this is called a bain-marie). Transfer to the oven and bake for ten minutes or until the puddings are set.
For the coulis, place the berries and sugar-substitute into a pan and gently heat, stirring so the sugar-substitute dissolves and the fruit softens. After five minutes, take off the heat and blend with a stick blender. Pass through a sieve into a clean pan. Set aside.
For the meringue, whisk the egg whites in a clean bowl until they form soft peaks. Add one tablespoon of sugar-substitute and whisk again for one minute, then add the other tablespoon of sugar-substitute. Whisk until the meringue is glossy.
When the puddings are cooked, spoon a layer of the coulis over the puddings then pipe or spoon the meringue on top. Return to the oven for 5-6 minutes or until the meringue begins to turn brown. Serve hot.

Working through freecodecamp.com and was tasked with an assignment to create a tribute page, so I thought, “Who better than Dan Shiffman?”. I’d like to keep working on it and actually make it a portfolio piece. For now, it will do.

Back in the heyday of drive-ins, "Disturbing Behavior" would have made a great second feature behind something like "Massacre at Central High" or "Rock N Roll High School." Or even "The Stepford Wives," which this often droll little chiller frequently recalls. Put together by some of the production team responsible for "The X Files," "Behavior" frequently captures the same weird/wacky atmosphere found in some of that series' more lighthearted episodes.
Scott Rosenberg's screenplay mixes together equal parts of "Stepford" and the 1987 cult classic "The Lost Boys" into a surprisingly amusing little chiller full of quirky dialogue and slightly warped stereotypes, such as its hero Steve (James Marsden), a troubled teen whose well-meaning parents transplant the family to Cradle Bay, a hamlet that initially seems to live up to its snoozy-sounding name.
But before long, Cradle Bay begins to look as if it has something in common with Twin Peaks.  Uneasy with the in-crowd, Steve hooks up with stoner Gavin (Nick Stahl) and his friend Rachel (Katie Holmes, in a marked about-face from her docile "Dawson's Creek" character), a slacker dream-girl in black leather and charcoal eyeliner. While Gavin and Rachel try to hustle beers in a supermarket parking lot, the Blue Ribbon set is holding court at the local yogurt shop and grooving to Olivia Newton-John's "Have You Never Been Mellow." Indeed, the Ribbons are a mellow bunch -- until those pesky adolescent hormones begin to bubble and cause them to get physical in a way Olivia never would have imagined.
Though the storyline is a bit herky-jerky (perhaps the result of extensive last-minute editing; the DVD version offers numerous excised scenes and an alternate ending), director David Nutter's film is carried along by its agreeably twisted sense of humor. For example, when a troubled kid is sentenced to be lobotomized and a nurse voices her objections to the procedure, a doctor steps forward to assure her it's the only sure-fire way "to cut the bruises of the banana," and when one of the Ribbons goes berserk in public, Rachel writes it off as "toxic jock syndrome." The movie is underscored by a well-chosen soundtrack of gloomy alt-rock anthems, including Harvey Danger's "Flagpole Sitta" ("paranoia, paranoia, everybody's comin' to me") and the Flys' splendid "Got You Where I Want You." Rosenberg even caps the story with a sly and all-too-appropriate nod to Pink Floyd's "The Wall."

From the designer and constructor:
Hi there, welcome to 清晰. I am the designer, Tingyu Su. This is the main part of my Thesis II for BFA Communication Design at Parsons School of Design, in 2020.
Before I landed on this concept, I look back at my Thesis I projects. I explored the tension between in-control and out-of-control through book design, 3D motion graphics, typeface design, and interaction design with Java. I came to the point that I want to make something functional, a digital platform that can push alive to face the general public; educational, where people can learn something; typographical, since I am a huge type lover; and something special, not in style but in how I am presenting my content.
I also asked myself some other questions to decide the content, or just to understand myself a little better.
For example, what do I care? What do I want to learn more? How can I contribute to the world as a designer or as the 100% me? What skills do I have and want to learn?
I found the answer. I would love to explore the intersection of Mandarin Simplified Chinese language system, web interaction design, and archiving as my focus. I would like to work on editorial and art direction on the side.


I am a Full-Stack web developer with knowledge in HTML, CSS, JavaScript (ES6) and React. I worked as a Pharmacy Technician for CVS. I faced many obstacles that helped me reinforced skills such as teamwork and critical thinking skills to accomplish resolve patient insurance issues and managing inventory. We worked together to build a game plan to accomplish monthly inventory task by assigning task and extra help to people so help finish it within the deadline and it applies the same as a web developer when working on a new project by building the foundation and executing. I am currently working on a full stack react app called Boosted eSports. REACT and that it was done in a 5-day sprint.

All campus-affiliated gyms, including Ping Recreational facility, were reopened on Aug. 24, in time for the fall semester.
“(When we reopen) we are looking at doing an A-B schedule, so having a staff work for one week and then a different amount of staff work the next week and rotate that to minimize the amount of exposure with each other,” Rose Minton, a senior studying exercise physiology as well as a personal trainer, supervisor, membership specialist and group fitness instructor at Ping, said.
As previously stated by OU, students will be coming to campus in the way of a phased return, which will limit face-to-face contact and prevent the spread of COVID-19. Similarly to the previous Spring Semester, Ping will be offering virtual fitness courses and well-being webinars for interested and motivated students.
However, this does give other local gyms an opportunity to offer their services to students and locals alike. Athens Yoga, located at 77 1/2 E. State St., plans to reopen in September, having been closed since March.
“We are limiting our class size and we are keeping a large window between classes to limit traffic. We are asking students to bring their own mats and props, and masks will be optional for people to bring and use.”—Jennifer Mainelli, co-owner of Athens Yoga
“We are limiting our class size and we are keeping a large window between classes to limit traffic,” Jennifer Mainelli, co-owner of Athens Yoga, said in an email. “We are asking students to bring their own mats and props, and masks will be optional for people to bring and use.”
Similarly, Athens Community Center, located at 710 E. State St., is also in the process of reopening to the general public and is already open for members.
“The City for Athens Arts, Parks and Recreation Department is following all state and local recommended guidelines and mandated policies,” Terri Moore, director of the Arts, Parks and Recreations department, said in an email. “Equipment is staged appropriately to allow users to maintain 6 ft. social distancing...enforcing face covering mandate to those who are not actively exercising that are in our building, and screening for wellness.”
The center is now offering special hours for immunocompromised and senior members.
CORRECTION APPENDED: a previous version of this article stated ping recreation was closed, but the facility opened on Aug. 24. The article has been updated to reflect pings reopening.

Hi,

I think that the element constraint does not exactly encode your
purpose. You write:

y ∈ g1_reach[x] and z ∈ g1_reach[y] ==> z ∈ g1_reach[x]

while your element constraint represents something like (if I am
correct)

y ∈ g1_reach[x] and z ∈ g1_reach[y] <=> z ∈ g1_reach[x]

i.e., this is an equivalence.

I do not know why you would have thousands of solution, though.
Neither why they do not respect the "superset" constraint.

Hope it helps anyway,

<blockquote<EMAIL_ADDRESS>type="cite">Hello,

I'm quite new to constraint programming and gecode in particular
and ran into some issue

I have to directed graphs G1=(V1,V1×V1), G2=(V2, V2×V2) and I am
searching for a mapping h: V1 → V2, that mantains reachability.
I.e. if there is a path v1 -*> v2 (v1,v2 ∈ V1) than there must
also be a path h(v1) -*> h(v2).

To model this using gecode, I am using 4 SetVarArrays:

SetVarArray g1_edges; // y ∈ g1_edges[x]: there is an edge from
v_x to v_y in G1

SetVarArray g2_edges; // like above for G2

SetVarArray g1_reach; // y ∈ g1_reach[x]: there is a path from v_x
to v_y in G1

SetVarArray g2_reach; // like above for G2.

Now I want gecode to calculate the reachability of those graphs.
Thus I tried to fix the graph by the following domain constraints.
A picture of the desired graph is attached to this mail.

// define edges between nodes

dom(*this, g1_edges[0], SRT_EQ, IntSet(1, 2));

dom(*this, g1_edges[1], SRT_EQ, 5 );

dom(*this, g1_edges[2], SRT_EQ, IntSet(3,4));

dom(*this, g1_edges[3], SRT_EQ, 5);

dom(*this, g1_edges[4], SRT_EQ, 5 );

dom(*this, g1_edges[5], SRT_EQ, IntSet::empty);

Then I want to encode the following relations:

* y ∈ g1_reach[x], if y ∈ g1_edges[x] (direct neighbours)

* if y ∈ g1_reach[x] and z ∈ g1_reach[y] then z ∈ g1_reach[x]
(transitivity)

Thus I do:

for(int x = 0; x < 6; ++x)

{

rel(*this, g1_reach[x] >= g1_edges[x]); // superset

element(*this, g1_reach, SOT_UNION, g1_reach[x], g1_reach[x]);

// call to element taken from the manual, section 5.2.4

// is it correct?

}

Then I'll branch on g1_reach, like this:

branch(*this, g1_reach, SET_VAR_NONE(), SET_VAL_MIN_INC());

However this gives me a >1000 solutions and all look like

g1_edges {{1,2}, {5}, {3,4}, {5}, {5}, {}}

g1_reach {}

What is the correct way to model this?

With my best regards,

Tobias

Christmas train strikes: Crisis talks as union leaders and railway bosses still at loggerheads
by LBCCrisis talks are taking place to try and prevent 27 days of strikes across many of London's busiest commuter routes in December.
Union leaders and railway bosses remain at loggerheads as they attempt to resolve their dispute over the role of guards on trains and control of train doors.
RMT union leaders and South Western Railway bosses are trying to come to an agreement before the strikes cause chaos for people heading home at Christmas.
The action by SWR staff would affect services from Waterloo, the UK's busiest station, on almost every day in December.
It would also be the longest period of concentrated strike action ever seen on British railways.
Downing Street has condemned the action as “unacceptable”.
Acas, the conciliation service, is bringing the two sides together for the first time since the strikes were ordered two weeks ago on Tuesday.
Based on previous walkouts, more than 16,000 services could be hit.
The union said that the strike would cover every day in December except for Sunday 1 and Thursday 12, when the general election is taking place, and SWR does not run services on Christmas day and Boxing day.
An SWR spokesman said: “We were approached by Acas and are happy to talk.”
The company states it has offered to keep a guard on every train as part of a framework agreement and accused the union of a “misguided attempt to hold power over the industry”.
Mick Cash, the RMT’s general secretary, said: “We enter into these talks in good faith as always, and the trade union will not be providing a running commentary.”

Automatically loads the needed languages to highlight the code blocks.
The plugin will automatically handle missing grammars and load them for you. To do this, you need to provide it with a directory of all the grammars you want.
You can download all the available grammars by clicking on the following link: .
Alternatively, you can also clone the GitHub repo and take the components
folder from there.
You can then download Prism core and any plugins from the Download page, without checking any languages (or just check the languages you want to load by default, e.g. if you're using a language a lot, then you probably want to save the extra HTTP request).
A couple of additional options are available through the configuration object Prism.plugins.autoloader
.
By default, the plugin will look for the missing grammars in the components
folder.
If your files are in a different location, you can specify it using the languages_path
option:
Prism.plugins.autoloader.languages_path = 'path/to/grammars/';
By default, the plugin uses the minified versions of the grammars.
If you wish to use the development versions instead, you can set the use_minified
option to false:
Prism.plugins.autoloader.use_minified = false;
All default dependencies are already included in the plugin.
However, there are some cases where you might want to load an additional dependency for a specific code block.
To do so, just add a data-dependencies
attribute on you
or

tags,
containing a list of comma-separated language aliases.

:less
foo {
color: @red;
}

The plugin usually doesn't reload a grammar if it already exists.
In some very specific cases, you might however want to do so.
If you add an exclamation mark after an alias in the data-dependencies
attribute,
this language will be reloaded.

Note that no languages are loaded on this page by default.
Basic usage with some Perl code:
my ($class, $filename) = @_;
The Less filter used in Pug:
:less
foo {
color: @red;
}


This set includes Melissa and Melody Sunshine Bear. The Sunshine Bears look quite a lot like the Osborne and Cuddle Bear families.


COURSE DETAILS
WATER TEMPERATURE is expected to be between 62 to 66 degrees. The temperature will be taken on Friday and the morning of the race. Wetsuits are recommended.
Long Course SWIM
1.2 Miles - Participants will make two counter-clockwise loops. Large buoys will mark the turn points. Kayakers will be positioned on the water to support the swimmers. Medical support will be present on the beach.
Long Course BIKE
58 Miles - A scenic point-to-point course that travels over gently rolling hills prior to three hard climbs. The bike course will be marked with large directional signage and there will be course marshals at key intersections to help direct you.
Long Course RUN
13.1 Miles - A mostly flat loop course on widely paved bike paths that traverse through and around this beautiful and scenic destination resort (two hills total with a minimal elevation gain).
OLYMPIC SWIM
1,500 Meters - Participants will make two counter-clockwise loops. Large buoys will mark the turn points. Kayakers will be positioned on the water to support the swimmers. Medical support will be present on the beach.

SPRINT
Course will offer a 1-loop 1/2 mile swim, the exact same 28 mile Bike Course as the Olympic distance and a 5km run.
Try-A-Tri
This novice race is designed for the first time triathlete, those new to the sport, our Junior Triathletes. The swim is a shorter, more manageable 1/4 mile distance, (instead of the standard 1/2-mile Sprint distance swim), 10 mile bike ride (vs 12 miles and it's a 2 loop course making it very spectator friendly!) and a flat 2 mile run (vs 3 mile sprint course).
Half Marathon COURSE
13.1 Miles - Half-Marathon event starts and finishes in the Athletes Village to the cheers of the enthusiastic crowd. Once finished, runners can enjoy the finish line festivities, including the Sports & Fitness Expo and live entertainment. Post-race refreshments will be provided and the Awards Ceremony for the Half-Marathon will begin once the results have been certified
10k COURSE
The 10K event starts and finishes in the Athletes Village. The paths are approximately 6 ft wide, perfectly paved and wind around through the forest. Each course has only two small hills with a minimal elevation gain to navigate and a fast downhill to flat finish to the roaring cheers of the crowd.
Splash n' Dash
Kids event for participants ages 4 to 15. This is a 100 yard swim and a 50 yard dash.


A goal oriented individual; determined and organised to achieve business solutions. Gained various skills throughout my career so far including investigating and troubleshooting application issues, working towards deadlines and prioritising workloads, alongside incident and problem management.
As part of the Senior Service Desk, we are a point of escalation for the Service Desk supporting with incidents and helping to prioritise incidents to meet SLA’s.
I have also been included in undertaking interviews and developing a training pack for new members. I also created Knowledge Articles for Colleagues to share knowledge across the Team.
I am responsible for supporting and maintaining the relationship between Service Desk and teams, both internal ad external. This includes maintaining the relationship with Third Parties Vendors such as Ricoh and 02 Mobiles. This entails triaging tickets logged by our Customer Services Team to provide updates when possible and to ensure any issues are resolved; not allowing this to impact the Customer’s Order.
Furthermore, I have also been included in multiple projects such as Desk Booking, Customer Connect and replacing all Mobile Phones.Some responsibilities include ensuring the Project Team are aware of any incidents that are raised and resolving incidents; creating knowledge articles for fixes and keeping a record of all assets which are impacted
Transferable Skills:
This included triaging and investigating issues; trying to resolve with a first-time fix over the phone and ServiceNow. If this was not possible, the incident would then be passed along to the internal resolver groups. If the incident involved third parties, we would log the ticket and manage the incident, from start to finish. Any communications would also be sent out the Business when the relevant system was impacted. When working late shifts and weekends, it allowed me to learn about the different areas of the Business.
Transferable Skills:
This included answering phones and helping Users with their IT issues such as resetting passwords and installing software. Some hardware tasks such as replacing laptop batteries, hard-drives and rebuild laptops was also included.
This was a voluntary opportunity where I taught Scratch at various Primary Schools across Leicester weekly. Before the visit, I would plan lessons in advance outlining achievable targets for the Students and once the lesson was completed, I would assess the Student’s participation to then create the next targets.

Lindsey
A robot tour guide.
The proposed research aims at making autonomous robots learning from the interaction with humans over a long-term deployment of 3 years.
The main expected results are twofold:
- increasing the robustness of the robotic operations by means of learning from the robot’s own mistakes,
- increasing the engagement of the people interacting with the robot by learning human-like behaviour features.
We will exploit the fact that the robot is employed in a human inhabited environment where it can receive feedback from humans and actively consult them in case of assistance.
Appearance of Lindsey on the media

Having loaded a module to be debugged, you can trace through its execution
in the normal way. When the debugger stops at a port, the procedure being
debugged is displayed with its module name as a prefix unless the module is
user
.
The predicate spy/1
depends on the source module.
It can be useful to override this during debugging. For example,
| ?- spy mod1:f/3.
puts a spypoint on f/3
in module mod1
.
It can also be useful to call directly a predicate that is private to its module in order to test that it is doing the right thing. This can be done by prefixing the goal with its module; for example,
| ?- mod1:f(a,b,X).

we have to assume that the average sales will be more than mining cost + 10%
though to make that $2, maybe a 9% margin is worth it
i guess what a lot of the "flippers" (not sure that is the right term) dont realize is that as unlimited as the PIRATE supply feels like now, it will get halved and then the $2 profit is $1, and halved again. If you really, really need the $2, then it seems it is reasonable to do
the really low cost early PIRATE all seems to have been traded, several times over, so we now have the PIRATE in hands of long term hodlers or close to 10 cents cost basis.
As long as we can keep onboarding new pirates, all will work out fine
oh, the pirate.black website, as primitive as it is, led to more downloads of agama than any other path

so our feeling that PIRATE is special, is not misguided. there is numerical proof of this
something like 3x from komodoplatform.com, but not sure if I understood the stats correctly
all the remaining tech items for PIRATE is pretty well known and making progress, so we should have the complete package (minus mobile) soon enough. In the meantime if the hashrate drops a lot, that would just mean I can buy more at even lower costs


The painter Cy Twombly quotes John Crowe Ransom, on a scrap of paper:
“The image cannot be disposed of a primordial freshness which ideas can never claim.”
Easy and appropriate thing for a painter to say. Cy Twombly uses text in some of his drawings and
paintings, usually poetry, usually Dante. Many men and women have written long essays and lectures
on the ideas they see expressed in Twombly’s work.
Bachelard’s sentence simply says this: origins (beginnings) have consequences (endings).
The poem is the consequence of its origins. Give me the fruit and I will take from it
a see and plant it and watch grow the tree from which it fell.

"Angel Eyes"
A mysterious man (Jim Caviezel) appears, like a guardian angel, and saves police officer Sharon Pogue (Jennifer Lopez), from a deadly ambush. Is it coincidence or fate? The two shall learn the truth about themselves and each other as they fall in love in "Angel Eyes."
"Angel Eyes" is, first and foremost, a date flick. It has the trappings of an action-drama, initially, with Lopez saving a car crash victim, then, later, getting in a shootout with a fleeing felon. But, once the setup is made - troubled cop, Sharon, meets mysterious drifter, Catch (Caviezel) - the cop drama falls away and real story, the love story about two troubled people adrift and alone who find each other, kicks in.
When Catch (Caviezel) comes on the scene, we find a tortured and confused man who is, at his core, a good Samaritan. When he first sees Sharon, he recognizes her, but it's left vague as to how and when. (But, if you paid attention to the action under the credits at the beginning, you'll guess who Catch is.) All we really know about the stranger is that he is drawn to drawn to Sharon like a magnet to iron.
Sharon has her own set of hang-ups to deal with, too.  Her sudden rescue by Catch, just when she is about to be capped by a hoodlum with her own gun, begins a slow-burning romance that increases in heat as each of the two discard their outer shells - hers of tough anger, his of benign confusion. As they fall for each other, they both unlock hidden, painful pasts. The release each experiences, because of their love for each other, allows both to resolve past problems and learn to love each other unconditionally.
The routine story about two troubled people finding and nurturing each other is helped by decent, though not great perfs by Lopez and Caviezel. I have never been a big fan of Jennifer Lopez (though I really liked her opposite George Clooney in Stephen Soderberg's "Out of Sight"), but found her angry cop character to have dimension. Caviezel, with those piercing, expressive eyes and handsome looks, fits the bill as the mysterious Catch. The actor has to get some roles that give him more to do than look tortured and pensive. I'd like to see the guy get a chance to thesp once in a while, instead of just expressing for the camera.
There is little going on below the performances of the two stars. Acclaimed Brazilian actress Sonia Braga ("The Kiss of the Spider Woman") appears as Sharon's mother, whose abuse by her husband (Victor Argo) years before led to the father/daughter estrangement that has lasted for years. Vet actress Shirley Knight has a small, sensitive role as Catch's caring, former mother-in-law.
Scripter Gerald DiPego joins, again, with helmer Mandoki (they last collaborated on the saccharine "Message in a Bottle") in bringing another romance to the screen. Fortunately, their second time together is better than their first. Lenser Piotr Sobocinski shifts between dark and brooding lighting, when things are serious, to warm and soft as the romance traverses the film story.
"Angel Eyes" will find its audience in the post-teen dating scene. The angst of the characters and their release from despair won't get the action fans, but it will get the romantics. I give it a C+.

Apache Felix - Modifying Our First Bundle for Declarative Services
OSGi has been a mature framework for building modular applications for quite some time. It has however, not not been embraced fully by the development community. The primary reason it stays unpopular in the development arena lies in its lack of beginning level tutorials or classes. This tutorial begins a series of labs to demystify the OSGi framework and begin familiarity with Apache Felix.
This tutorial shows how to use declarative services in lieu of manual coding. It purpose it to demonstrate another way bundles can be done and improve the readers confidence level with OSGi.
1 Audience
The core audience is seated in a comfortable classroom or conference room environment. Readers performing this tutorial have received an overview of OSGi and completed a previous lab in which we setup a framework for use. A reader performing this tutorial would have a printed version of this media or the web site up on one screen while they work on code in another. The audience can be made up of developers from different disciplines but knowledge and understanding of the Java language is assumed.
2 Getting Started
In our previous example tutorial we created an OSGi bundle in a programmatic fashion. In that bundle, we registered two services into the service registry. While rather simple in implementation, the solution did depend on use of the Activator class. And since only one Activator can be defined in a bundle, registering even more services would present a significant challenge on readability. We are going to neaten this up a bit and use some features of the R4 compendium known as Declarative Services. We will expound on it a little as we go along, but I encourage you to read the specifications on the OSGi Alliances Site.
If you haven’t done the first bundle tutorial mentioned above you can grab the source at:
1
|
|
3 Remove The Previous Activator From The Project
Go ahead and delete the Activator from the previous project. Just completely wipe it out. When your finished with that edit your POM.xml and completely wipe out this line (we don’t need it anymore):
1
|
|
If you have any doubts as to whether its gone after a new build, just peek into the JAR file. Mine looked something like this after I finished (note no activator is inside the bundle):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
|
4 Add A Component XML File
Because we are using maven, we need to make some new directories and maven knows about so we can include resources into our project. Make a resources dir under main and then put a new dir under the resources dir called OSGI-INF. Our new directories path should look like:
1
|
|
Now in the OSGI-INF directory, lets create a new file called greetercomponent.xml.
Note: The name is somewhat irrelevant, however I would name it something that indicates what component it is for. The reason is, each service will be in its own xml file. After a while name these like component1, component2 and component3 won’t help developers quickly find a configuration.
Now we are going to do the same job that that the Activator did, just in a declarative manner. Modify your greetercomponent.xml file to look like the following:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
|
In this file, we are first declaring a component. A component is really just a Java class that is declared in an XML document by definition. Very similar to the concepts of beans if you are used to other Java terminologies. It has a name just for management in the framework. You can install other web consoles that help manage them by their component name.
Then we tell the component what its implementation class is, so it can create it when its needed.
Then we create a service and tell it what interface to provide, that is, register for us. That’s all there really is to a simple service. However, before we can use this xml file, we need to tell the maven plugin to add a manifest entry for where to find it. That entry is known as the Service-Component entry. In our POM in the instructions for our bundle plugin lets add the following line:
1
|
|
5 Install SCR Declarative Services Into Framework
Before you deploy this example, make sure the SCR Declarative Services bundle into your running framework and start it up.  Pull up the web console and expand it. You should see your new manifest entry is present and you should have a new service id registered. This is a pretty good indication that everything went as planned, but lets add our command otherwise testing it won’t be too easy.
6 Add Another Component XML File
So lets add another component file to the OSGI-INF directory and call it greetcommandcomponent.xml. We will do something similar to register it, however, in this component, we need to use properties to set it up. It looks like this:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 |
|
Then we just add this one to our manifest by changing our Service-Component entry to:
1 2 |
|
7 Build, Deploy and Test
So package this guy up with a mvn package and then deploy using your method of choice (for this one I used the web console personally). After its deployed and started you should see a new command in our console for tutorialds:greet and be able to call it.
What Did We Just Do
We removed the need for an activator class and instead replaced all of its logic with XML files that accomplished a similar thing. Now some be thinking that we could use this XML files for injection or other clever uses, but we actually can’t. If we want to use injection or a similar feature we need to use Blueprint to do it. We will demonstrate this much later.
A Quick Note On Exceptions
I did have some exceptions during the making of this tutorial and you may experience the same. The few things that happened to me were:
IllegalStateExceptions
ERROR: greeter-bundle (15): [GreeterComponent] Cannot register Component java.lang.IllegalStateException: Invalid BundleContext
This occurred mainly because I had a typo in one of the component files which confused Felix into writing some properties it shouldn’t have. I think the name attribute was missing from one of the properties. However, even after fixing it, the exception stayed there until I restarted the whole framework.
XmlParseExceptions
Typically they come in a variety of flavors and they are usually due to badly formed xml documents. Mine came from a example in the R4 compendium that had a declarative services entry as the following:
1
|
|
Which I pasted and didn’t check, but its really supposed to be:
1
|
|
In the next tutorial we will remove the command on this bundle and then add PaxExam to unit test our product. PaxExam will allow us to run Felix as a part of our Maven test lifecycle and test our bundle.
