Consisting of several buildings and spread over an 8ha section of farm on which the first major battle took place between Brit and Boer at the start of the South African war of 1899-1902, the Talana Museum is Dundee town's main attraction and a worthwhile stop when visiting this part of the KwaZulu-Natal Province.
Two Smith brothers arrived from Dundee in Scotland in the 1850s and purchased a farm in the area. Large coal deposits were soon discovered here and the brothers began transporting the coal to Pietermaritzburg for sale at the market. They later laid out the town after establishing a coal company, and named it Dundee after their hometown. The area is also a chief cattle and sheep farming region and a large maize supplier.
The Talana Museum showcases the town's coal mining and agricultural history, as well as the battle site and details of the impact the Smith family had on Dundee. Eight... Show more

I wish I could have searched the easiest way to stop using a pacifier when my girls were little because we tried so many methods that didn't work.
Want to skip the story? Jump to the easiest way to stop using a pacifier
My first two babies (both boys) never had a problem letting go of their pacifier. It was like they woke up one day and just decided they didn't need their pacifier anymore.
My girls, on the other hand, experienced a serious pacifier dependence. I felt terrible, like the villain from one of their favorite Disney movies. They just wanted to be happy, soothed, comforted, and I just wanted to rip that security right out of their mouths! Being a mom can be so frustrating sometimes. There were points during the day, where even I questioned why I was trying to break the pacifier habit.
Don't believe me? Read my digital diary entry from the day I took Alexi's pacifier.
Early morning:
As of today, we will be working on Lexi's "baa baa" addiction! I call this plan, Operation Keep Away. This plan requires keeping Alexis distracted during the day and only allowing her to use the pacifier at bedtime and naptime. Then I would like to take it away at nap time for a week and hopefully graduate to no pacifier at all after 3 weeks!
I read today about a mom got her daughter to give up the paci to a "paci fairy"! The "fairy" took it away to give it to a baby who needed it, and left her with a big girl surprise! That may be a fun way to rip her childhood away from her (just kidding I know her childhood won't be shattered, just her relationship with me!). All joking aside I am really hopeful that this process doesn't take too long, I don't know how strong my husband will be when he hears his little princess crying for it night after night. So please say a prayer for me and one for her too! We will need it 🙂
Later that day:
Can you guess what kind of day we had? If you guessed whiny, cranky, want-my-ba-ba-more-than-ever kinda day, you guessed correctly!
I made my first mistake by making it such a big deal. I talked to Lexi for 30 minutes about being a big girl. I told her baba's are for babies, and that they are yucky for big girls. I told her it was time to throw it away, and that's just what I did. Right in front of her, I tossed her beloved pacifier in the trash.
She cried, and cried, and cried. Did I mention she cried? After hearing her pleas I had no clue what I was doing. I honestly believed I was hurting her.
So what do you think I did?
If you're thinking I caved, you're right! I almost cried myself, as I heard her pacifier-muffled sobs as she soothed herself to sleep.
DAY 2: I woke up feeling empowered and stronger! I was ready to help her break this habit! This time instead of throwing her pacifier in the trash, I cut the nipple off.
Yep, I went there.
She cried, but I just fed her breakfast and kept changing the subject. Then, it was nap time. I would put her down, and she would get right back up (crying the whole time). So 2 1/2 hrs later I caved again. Only this time (since she only had the one left) I had to give her one of her baby sister's pacifier.
10 minutes later she was sleeping peacefully.
I began to feel like a horrible mother. I blamed myself for giving it to her in the first place. I blamed myself for being too weak to take it from her. Sometimes parenting sucks.
Then I got an idea!
I don't want to be the bad guy, and she doesn't want me to take her paci.
The obvious solution would be to help Alexis make the choice to get rid of her pacifier.
So how do we help a child make a decision like that? Easy, make her pacifier tastes horrible or in her words "yuck".Easiest Way To Stop Using A Pacifier:
The method that worked with my first daughter Alexis:
All I had to do was buy some garlic juice and put it on her pacifier.
Before I gave it back to her I told her that when she's a big girl her pacifier won't taste good anymore. She tested it three times before she was convinced it was not going to taste any better and handed it back to me.
All in all, I had to do this on two separate occasions that day. After about three days Alexis finally let go of her pacifier habit and formed a new one… her blankie became her new soother.
The method that worked with my second daughter Anna:
Remember what I said earlier about the pacifier fairy? Well, it just so happened that my sister-in-law gave birth right around the time I wanted to break Anna's pacifier habit. I told Anna that we had to give her pacifier to new babies because they needed them and it worked like a charm! Every time Anna would ask, I would remind her that Scarlette needed them, and she would walk away happy to have helped her new cousin.
With both girls, we broke the pacifier habit in less than four days which shocked me.
So the easiest way to stop using a pacifier is to figure out a way to let your child make a choice. Good Luck!

"Five of the top nine pesticides used on cotton in the U.S. (cyanide, dicofil, naled, propargite, and trifuralin) are KNOWN cancer-causing chemicals. All nine are classified by the U.S, EPA as Category 1 and 2 - the most dangerous chemicals." See more statistics at www.organiccotton.com.au
At Mudd Kids, we've researched and found the finest quality sustainable wardrobe for your child, without the expensive price tag.
Did you know that our skin is the largest organ of the human body? And our babies skin is five times thinner than our own?
Because traditional clothing is chemical dependant, with cotton full of pesticides and insecticides, it's wise that your baby's first clothes are chemical free. Choose from Organic Cotton, Soybean and Bamboo Clothing at Mudd Kids.
With the wide variety of chemicals used in growing and processing of conventional cotton (approximately 82 chemicals) these chemicals actually weaken the structure of the fibre. Organic Cotton, Soybean and Bamboo are therefore more durable and long-lasting.
These eco-friendly clothing lines may assist in the rising number of children suffering skin allergies and sensitivatity as they are chemical free.
Not only do these products feel good on our skin, it feels good as a consumer, to know we are supporting our environment.
Also, get back to nature with our range of children's toys, choose from Wooden, Organic Cotton and Handmade, as it's proven by the age of 3, a child recognizes more logo's than they do leaves off trees.
So what are you waiting for, help your little one grow up with a green influence, while looking after their health, you'll appreciate that, organic & fair trade products, don't cost the earth!

Ohinemuri Regional History Journal 54, September 2010
A six-court netball complex was opened on the Hugh Hayward Domain at Ngatea by the Hauraki Plains Netball Association in April last. Costing just under $750,000 the facility will allow the association to met the increasing demands from Hauraki Plains players, both young and old, and also enable the popular sport to grow in a very efficient manner. The facilities could also be used for tennis during the summer months. The association was congratulated by both Hauraki District Mayor John Tregidga and the New Zealand Silver Fern coach Ruth Aitken on the manner in which everyone worked together to achieve excellent facilities which will also be an asset to the region. Netball was previously played on the Hauraki Plains College courts.
The $20 million Gold Discovery Centre proposed for Waihi has been given consent under the Resource Management Act, by the Hauraki District Council's appointed commission Peter Crawford. The project is a partnership between the Hauraki District Council, Newmont Gold Waihi and the New Zealand Mint. It is to build an underground centre which will tell the story of gold in New Zealand. The Hauraki District Council has pledged $665,000 to be paid over three years towards the capital cost. The gold company is gifting land and making geotechnical reporting, earthworks and land-scaping contributions. A hearing for affected parties of the construction was deemed unnecessary as all parties gave their consent.
A suitably engraved plaque has been erected under the only authentic Gallipoli Pine in New Zealand, which growing on the Paeroa Golf Club course in Rotokohu Road. The Turkish red pine , pinus brutia, has been DNA tested with the famous Lone Pine which stood on the skyline at Gallipoli during the ill-fated campaign in 1915. The history of the pine was outlined in Ohinemuri Regional History Journal No. 53 (2009). An Australian soldier brought a cone from the tree back to Melbourne with him and the seed were propagated. In 1955 Paeroa District High School teacher John Jensen, obtained three seedlings and these were planted on Tuikairangi Hill (Primrose), in front of the old Ministry of Works office site on the corner of Johnson and Waihi Road, now Ohinemuri Park (both these pines have disappeared) and on the golf course. This year Arthur Fletcher, a Second World War veteran and a Life Member of the Paeroa RSA, placed an Anzac Day poppy on the plaque to mark Anzac Day.
In April last the very popular Early Miners' Reunion was held for the 23rd time and a large number for former miners of the Martha Mine and Victoria Battery. This reunion is looked forward to by these early miners and arrive, supported by family and friends, to relive the past, catch up with work mates and share stories from bygone era. Many of those attended were in their eighties and nineties with the oldest being 93 years and who attended the Waihi School of Mines. Present day staff at Waihi Newmont Gold were present and were keen to talk to the guests of honour to compare working conditions between now and then. Buses took the group to the Waikino Railway Station where there were photo opportunities. The Goldfields Railway took the party back to Waihi and then onto the present mining operation. It was then back to the Waihi RSA Ingot Restaurant for lunch and further reminiscing. It was tremendous day and all were full of praise for Doreen McLoed who organised the memorable day.
The 17th annual Paeroa Highland Games and Tattoo proved to be a day out for the Scottish, and it was a success. There was on display of some 50 black Scottish terriers and white West Highland terriers and Highland cattle. There was also tossing the caber and similar men's events with New Zealand contestants trying their expertise against those from Scotland and Australia. There was also keen interest in the highland dancing with competitors from across the northern half of the North Island. The highlight was the street parade of some eight bands followed by the mass band display at the evening tattoo. The crowd was estimated to be around 6000, and they received their money's worth.
The kaumatua from Kerepehi, Tirohia, Tamatera, Matai Whetu and Ngahutoitoi joined the staff of the Paeroa Medical centre, last December, to welcome two new doctors to the district. Dr Barbara Loeliger, her husband and daughter Jara, 10 years, and Dr Scott Nagel, wife Polly and children Blair and John, 13, and Matthew, 11. They received a special blessing from Rev Colin Sutherland and Kerepehi Kaumatua Hemi Kaka extended a warm welcome. The Loeligers come from Switzerland while the Nagle family come from Virginia in the United States. Hauraki District Mayor John Tregidga, extended a welcome behalf of the wider district.
Four years ago a large slab of macrocarpa from a nearby farm, was given to the Netherton School for a school sign. The late Sam Kauhou, who was a keen supporter of the school and many of his whanua attended, received the timber along with a design from the senior pupils of the school. He took it to the Paeroa College, where he was the whakairo (carving) tutor. He, with his class of student carvers commenced the project. Unfortunately Mr Kauhou passed away before the project was finished and it was returned to his whanau. When Tama Dean was appointed the new tutor, negotiations with the Kaohou family, the Paeroa College and the Netherton School took place. The sign was returned to the college and was completed. The taonga or treasure was welcomed onto the school ground with a powhiri and by kaumatua Maatai Ariki Rawiri Kauae Te Toki. He said the taonga has arrived as a whakairo and now in place in front of the school it was a pou tohu, or a sign, which tells what this place is. Thanks were given by several speakers to all those who worked on the carving.
The Paeroa Rotary Club has recognised two residents with the prestigious Paul Harris Award, for service to the community which fulfils the ideals of Rotary for the betterment of the community. The presentations were made to club member Barry Williams and local resident Bruce Darvill at a special dinner to mark the visit of the Rotary Governor-elect Peter Signal, who presented both awards. Mr Williams has been exemplary member of Rotary. The club chosen Mr Darvill for his dedication to the community which includes CAPS Hauraki, the LIFE Education Trust, the Paeroa Highland Games and the Paeroa Community Support Trusts services.
Auckland sculptor Ms Lauren Kitts has completed a second works from Maratoto stone after two weeks of steady work in the Paeroa Domain. Called "Go with the Flow" the sculptor represents the water element so important to the Paeroa area. It employs the use of Maori motif carving to represent flowing water in a stylised way. The works stands 1.8m high, 60cm wide and 30cm deep, not quite as large the Anchor Stone carved last year and now in front of the Post Office, but is more intricate. The sculpture has been provisionally destined for Ohinemuri Park, near the L and P Bottle at the eastern entrance to Paeroa.
Newmont Waihi Gold has provided 46 laptop computers to the primary schools in the Waihi area instead of the annual grant of $10,000 dollars. Waihi Central, Waikino, Waihi East, Waimata, St. Joseph's and Waihi Beach, received between 4 and 13 computers, depending on school size. These schools have entered a three-year contract with the Ministry of Education to study how the use of information communication technology impacts on students' learning. The funding for the project "Waihi Wired" can only be used on staff development. The schools approached Newmont Waihi Gold as a collective about it funding computers. The company maintains that education was the future and this was one way the company invested in it. The company's ultimate dream is to have children, who go to school in Waihi, coming back in the future and working in the mining industry.

The event commences at the Ngatea Bridge over the Piako River, with boats pulling two or one skiers, travelled down the Piako River out into the Firth of Thames and then back up the Waihou River to the Puke Bridge, near the Historic Maritime Park, Paeroa, some 3kms from Paeroa.

Two of New Zealand's top Touch referees come from the Thames Valley, a feat that many much larger provinces cannot match. Maih Williams is No. 1 and John Dustow, is No. 4, both from Paeroa. Williams, a Paeroa College teacher, and John Dustow, a former police officer, received their rankings at the Touch New Zealand national tournament in March. Williams who held the No. 2 spot for the past three years is also making his mark as a coach, taking the Paeroa College senior girls side to runner-up spot at the secondary schools national championship. Both men have had the winter off, but will now be getting into shape for a full-on season ahead, with an international against Australia followed by the World Cup in Scotland and both have been invited to referee at this fixture.

I love roses and since we moved into our new home in a new town, I have enjoyed a rose bush in our front yard. It has been producing beautiful roses for months now. I thought after we had our 1st frost that the roses would have been long gone by now...but, no...there were more to welcome the Christmas season. I couldn't help but put them in a vase on my table to enjoy. They are very fragrant & lovely. So here are my Pink December Roses...

If you're going to set a big goal like running a marathon, you might as well make it as easy to achieve as possible. And anything you can do to ensure the 26.2-mile run is as painless as possible is a smart tactic. So why run through the ho-hum streets of your hometown when you can race through stunning scenery in a far-flung locale? As top marathon season begins in just a few weeks, consider Forbes Travel Guide's list of the world's best marathon locations to inspire you to lace up and get training:
Napa Valley Marathon in Calistoga, California
Paris Marathon in Paris, France
Boston Marathon in Boston, Massachusetts
Virgin Money London Marathon in London, England
Big Sur International Marathon in Big Sur, California
Vancouver Marathon in Vancouver, Canada
Mont St.-Michel Bay Marathon in Mont St.-Michel, France
The Great Wall Marathon in Tianjin, China
The Big Five Marathon in Limpopo Province, South Africa
Athens Classic Marathon in Athens, Greece
If you're a runner, it's time to update your Bucket List!

Stylish & very Comfortable
Will be buying another pair but due to the extra cost of the postage they make for expensive footwear, so can't justify the expense for a while.
First impressions good
Very pleasantly surprised by the styling of the Carouge Graphite. Not as **** as some of the other styles appear to be. Yes, the heel is huge, but doesn't look out of place on this shoe, being white, a good contrast to the grey leather upper. Quality very good, but would expect that from a shoe costing this much! I'm late 60's, but still young at heart and feel happy with this style, as I suspect would a twenty something! I have suffered plantar fascitis for the past 9 months and used to enjoy walking but have been severely restricted by this condition. Tried everything else I think, Chiro and a multitude of different shoe inserts, all with mixed results, so in desperation have spent big on trying these Kybun shoes in the hope the reviews are correct and I'll be able to get out and about again. So how was my first trip out? OK. They certainly do cushion the heel well and I managed 10k steps with reasonable comfort. The only slight issue was a rubbing near the tongue/top of zip area on one foot, but I'm hopeful that they just need running in a bit, so will certainly be persevering and have high hopes that they will give me a significantly better quality of life.

Augur Jumps 38% Overnight as REP/BTC Explodes on Binance
Augur (REP) jumped 38% against the dollar late on Monday night, and sparked an influx of trading activity which saw daily trade volume spike 819% within a few hours.
The bump seems to have originated on Binance's REP/BTC market, where seven hours of straight gains sent the token to a two-month high against the dollar. Meanwhile, REP's satoshi value just reverted all the way back to August 2018 highs.
Augur recently teased a host of new features being added to its prediction market platform, however, suspicious eyes may be drawn to this retweet from last night. The article linked in the tweet is titled 'Long Augur', and urges readers to invest heavily in REP in anticipation of almost certain gains.
Augur Price
REP's value had already climbed 10% by the time of the article's retweet by the Augur team. Following the tweet, momentum continued and REP pushed through to 38% gains for the twenty-four hour period.
That took REP from $8.16 to a price of $11.33, and was accompanied by an 819% increase to trade volume which took the daily changeover from $1 million to $9.2 million.
Binance housed the highest concentration of the action via its REP/BTC market, which kicked into overdrive last night following a 21% decline in the previous few days.
Long Augur?
The Medium article is written by the team at 1Confirmation– a venture fund created by Nick Tomaino, and backed by Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen and Mark Cuban.
Summarized in the post is a description of Augur's work to date, and some speculation on future improvements, along with the crystal clear statement:
"We've invested in Augur directly via Reputation (REP), the native token to the Augur platform…"
Of course, the article ends with a disclaimer urging readers not to take this as investment advice, so legal bases are covered. However, one recalls the trouble Elon Musk went through with the SEC after he jokingly speculated on his company's stock price on the Joe Rogan podcast.
The publication of the article coinciding with the sudden upturn in REP's fortunes may be pure chance. But with financial and legal pressures set on reigning in some of the 'Wild West' aspects of the crypto game, retweets like those of the Augur team may soon come under a lot more scrutiny.
Augur's REP?
Augur remains one of the most celebrated blockchain applications of the last few years, mainly because it actually has a working product – still a rarity at this current time.
Some may question whether decentralized gambling apps are really the way to mass adoption. However, right now, these decentralized apps are some of the best examples of how two separate entities can interact economically without the need of a centralized third party. For that alone Augur deserves attention.

Preparing to move tends to be one of the most stressful events you may encounter. You are not only changing locations, searching for a new home, new job and switching your children's schools but you have to adjust to a new life style as well. It is important during this transition to make sure you are staying on track of a healthy diet, drinking water and exercising. Stress can easily cause bad sleeping patterns as well as high blood pressure. Be certain to take care of yourself and leave the stress up to your professional movers.
Here are a few tips on how you can maintain balance as well as an easy going move.
1) Hire a moving company. Moving companies help ease the tension of your move. If it's within your budget, try hiring helpers to assist you with packing your breakables or other household good items. Many companies provide full services from packing to unpacking. This will help you focus on the more important factors of your upcoming move.
2) Keep a water bottle near you at all times. During the busy times of your move, you may forget how important it is to drink your daily doses of water. Try keeping a bottle or a fresh glass of water around you at all times to help keep you hydrated.
3) Try to avoid eating junk food during this process. Eating heavy meals or food items high in carbs will only slow you down. Try replacing those fast breakfast meals with a yogurt and throw in some granola for extra protein. You'll have the right amount of energy to keep your day going.
4) Try to find some time to add in stress free activities during the moving process. Take your family to the park or your dog for a stroll around the block. While your movers are helping you pack up your home or unload your boxes, set up a nice relaxing lunch on your front lawn in order to help remain calm and to stay clear out of the way of your movers.
5) Keep packing supplies, moving checklists and personal items close by. It's important to make this move as worry free as possible. Knowing where your keys are or where you left the packing tape, will help keep your stress level to a minimum. Make sure there's a clear pathway for you to get in and out of each room in order to avoid any accidents.
Moving is hectic, let's face it. Yet with the right planning and following a few simple guidelines… it can make moving much easier for you and your entire family.
Please don't hesitate to visit our website in order to learn more about the services we can provide to you or your company, as we service local, out of state, corporate, commercial and international moves.

Fresh 48 sessions are easily a favorite aside from newborn sessions. They are by far my most treasured pictures of my own babies when they were born. They change so fast in the first weeks of life. I always loved the time in the hospital with my babies, even though I was exhausted, just getting to be their, the two of us, was so special.
I got to meet little Ava when she was only 10 hours old, and she was so content and at peace, especially in her momma's arms.

You can find romance in all corners of Canada, but each year Amazon Canada puts together a concrete list of the most romantic cities in the country.
The tenth annual ranking is compiled by comparing which cities are buying the most romantic items on Amazon. The data looks at what cities are buying the most romance novels, romantic comedies, relationship books, jewellery and sexual wellness products.
This year Victoria, B.C. claimed the number one spot for the seventh consecutive year, but some cities are new to the list. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it had us thinking: what are some of the most romantic (and just plain fun) things to do in Canada's most romantic cities?
So, we made our own list:
Victoria, British Columbia
If you want to dine out – Take a walking food tour that allows you to sample local ingredients from local restaurants. The tour makes six to eight stops through three different historic parts of the city so you can learn and exercise while you indulge.
If you want adventure – Take advantage of being on Canada's Pacific coast and join a whale watching tour with the sunset as your backdrop. A popular attraction in Victoria, there are plenty of companies to choose from.
If you want relaxation – Mountain views, fresh air and jaw-dropping seascapes are all part of your spa experience at Victoria's only oceanfront spa Boathouse Spa. Dip into one of three heated outdoor mineral pools then choose the couples spa package or zen out separately.
If you want culture – The Victoria Symphony is the largest performing arts organization on Vancouver Island. If you happen to be there over the August long weekend, the Symphony puts on an outdoor event that includes a performance on a barge in the harbour.
If you have your kids with you – The Victoria Bug Zoo is home to 50 different kinds of unique bugs. Think giant walking sticks, preying mantises and glow-in-the-dark scorpions. Even adults will learn some interesting facts about the creepy crawlers.
LaSalle, Quebec
If you want to dine out – Grab a sweet treat or lunch from Patisserie Lasalle and have a romantic picnic in nearby Ouellette Park. The family-owned restaurant has been operating for 30 years and offers pastries, pizza, bread and specialty cakes.
If you want adventure – There are 24 kilometres of bike paths in LaSalle, eight of which are right along the water. For a more urban ride, there's a path bordering the Aqueduct Canal that includes a rest at Angrignon Park. Rent a BIXI bike and off you go.
If you want relaxation – There is oTENTik camping right along Lachine Canal in Montreal, which is just a few kilometres up the canal from LaSalle. Hang out on the porch of your glamping-style cabin and watch the stars at night, then go for a canoe ride the next day.
If you want culture – There's just something romantic about windmills, especially the Fleming Mill. Visit the five-storey restored windmill along the St. Lawrence River. There are free guided tours on certain summer days and a history lesson in the form of theatre performances.
If you have your kids with you –Parc de Rapides is the ideal spot to take in the river rapids, plus it's home to a federal migratory bird sanctuary. Cross-country ski and snowshoe in the urban park in the winter and kayak and stand-up paddleboard in the summer.
Fort McMurray, Alberta
If you want to dine out – Share new sushi dishes at Yoshi Sushi. The local favourite is known for its friendly staff and vast menu. It's a smaller restaurant with limited seats so you can have a cozy conversation.
If you want adventure – Maybe you'll get lucky … at the casino. The Boomtown Casino is right downtown. There's onsite entertainment and a dance floor if you don't have the best poker face or you lost to the slots.
If you want relaxation – Fort Mac is one of the best places to to see the Northern Lights. You can see them on most evenings from October to March. Go all out and book an overnight package that includes a private viewing site, astronomer and boreal forest guide.
If you want culture – Since Fort Mac is in the middle of the Athabasca oil sands, visiting the Oil Sands Discovery Centre is a must. You'll learn about the history, science and technology of the oil sands.
If you have your kids with you – MacDonald Island Park is the ultimate place to take your family. From a library and restaurant to rock climbing and a water park, everyone will be happy. It's Canada's biggest community rec, leisure and social centre, and includes a fitness facility, golf course and a stadium.
North Vancouver, British Columbia
If you want to dine out – A lazy brunch for two is the perfect way to end – or start – a trip to North Vancouver. Lift Breakfast Bakery's cozy interior will remind you of home, but the Eggs Benedict and pancakes will remind you that you're still on vacation.
If you want adventure – Stand among the highest treetops in North America on the Capilano Suspension Bridge. The world-famous bridge offers breathtaking views nearly 30 meters above the forest floor.
If you want relaxation – You can't not feel relaxed at Park & Tilford Gardens. It's made up of nearly three acres of fountains, bridges, flowers and a Japanese-style garden. For ultimate relaxation, hit up a matinee movie next door.
If you want culture – Get lost together in Londsale Quay market. The market is filled with local artisans, has a wide-array of different cuisines and more than 80 unique shops. Then, step outside and enjoy one of the best views of Vancouver's skyline.
If you have your kids with you – In the summer soak up the sun while the kids make sand castles at one of the beaches. Travelling in the winter? There are three local mountains to ski and snowboard, or rent snowshoes and have a local guide show you the way.
Spruce Grove, Alberta
If you want to dine out – Take a step back in time to the '60s at Jack's Drive-In. The local icon first opened in 1961 and has been a staple in the community ever since. Grab a burger, share a milkshake and listen to your song on the jukebox.
If you want adventure – The Get Hooked Fishing Adventure is an all-inclusive, year-round guided fishing trip. Your guided tour will show you fossil beds, point out wildlife and teach you about the history of the area.
If you want relaxation – The Clifford E. Lee Nature Sanctuary provides a peaceful backdrop for a romantic date. Tip: bring some birdseed with you – there are lots of critters and birds to see along the boardwalk and in the marsh.
If you want culture – Go inside for a tour of the last remaining wooden grain elevator on the CN Rail line west of Edmonton. The Spruce Grove and District Agricultural Heritage Society turned it into a museum and provides tours by donation.
If you have your kids with you – Spruce Grove's Rotary Playscape was designed by kids for kids. There's even a climbing wall and instrument section. It's the largest playground of its kind in North America and has free Wi-Fi for parents.

My husband passed away a few days before Christmas and the staff at Twiford in Manteo were absolutely wonderful. They answered all of our questions and were very helpful with making arrangements. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who has suffered a loss. David and Jessica are phenomenal!
Laurie Culpepper of Washington, NC
Heartfelt thanks to Jessica and Roy for guiding us through our difficult time.
Anja Audersch of NEW YORK, NEW YORK
Rachel Jacobs of Stafford, Va
My family and I were at your funeral home this spring for two funerals, my nephew and my brother in law. We were treated with the utmost respect by David and another gentleman who assisted us for visitation.
Even though we were from all across the US for these funerals we were not treated as strangers, but as friends.
We felt as we had known David forever.
This is comforting to those grieving who sometimes need assistance in making decisions. He made the right one every time.
Thank you all for your service.
Thomas Darling Jr of Laconia, New Hampshire
I was unfortunately not able to be at my grandmas viewing (Carolyn Darling) but I was told by Family that you guys took very good care of her . Thank you very much for your services for her burial and my grandfathers in 1999 (Frank Darling ) .
Gerald Armstrong of Santee, CA
Service was very dignified, first class. Ushers were first class as well.
Fred Deerfield, Jr – Chesapeake, VA
All of you were so kind and generous. JJ did a great job. All of you did a great job. My family and I felt very comfortable.
Bless you all. Happy Easter
Connie Trotman of Elizabeth City, North Carolina
Beth Sommars has just provided our family with outstanding assistance and comfort as we buried Matt Hale last week. The death was so sudden! She helped us through the funeral process and also helped us through the sudden shock. I believe having a woman to assist in such a capacity made it easier to bear. She is so knowledgeable and patient! We made decisions, then changed these decisions. Beth Sommars' patience was just remarkable. She is definitely an important asset to your facility. Thank you, Beth, for being there when we needed you.
Wayne Reed of San Diego, CA
It was a difficult time, especially with me being out of state. But everything was handled so smoothly and professionally that I nothing but praise for the people at Twiford.
Ray Bowen of Jamesville, NC
I have to compliment the staff at Twiford Funeral Home. I have been in the insurance industry for almost 19 years. Recently, I had a family member to pass away unexpectedly. David Jr. and his staff treated my cousin and her family with the utmost respect and courtesy. Many others could learn some valuable insight from observing these caring professionals. Truly this organization is at the top of their field. Thank you for your kind treatment and you are truly commendable!

ASHBURN, VA (WWBT) - Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden's son, Jack Gruden, was arrested over the weekend.
The 22-year-old is a video assistant with the team and was charged with drunk in public early Saturday morning.
Deputies said they saw Jack Gruden in an argument with another man at a shopping center in Ashburn and separated them, but then he got into two other confrontations.
The team said they're aware of the arrest but have not released further comment.

TRIZ is a systematic approach for understanding and defining challenging problems. It is based on the understanding that the vast majority of problems can be reduced to a trade-off between two contradictory elements. The central purpose of TRIZ-based analysis is to systematically apply strategies and tools to find solutions that overcome the need for a trade-off between the two elements.
Although the method is old, hard to master and somewhat complicated, the philosophy of solving contradictions is extremely useful when solving process-related problems.

We discuss the approximation properties of sequences of linear operators mapping densities to densities. We give conditions for their convergence, explicit their general form, obtain rates of convergences and generalise the index parameter to obtain nets .
Notations. Let be a compact metric space, equipped with a finite measure defined on its Borel -algebra, and denote by the set of all essentially bounded probability densities on . The set is then a complete separable metric space under the total variation distance proportional to .
In bayesian statistics, it is of interest to specify a probability measure on , representing uncertainty about which distribution of is generating independent observations . The problem is that is usually rather big: by Baire's category theorem, if is not a finite set of points, then cannot be written as a countable union of finite dimensional subspaces. To help in prior elicitation, that is to help a statistician specify , we may decompose in simpler parts.
Here, I discuss how to obtain a sequence of approximating finite dimensional sieves , such that is dense in . A prior on may then be specified as the countable mixture
where is a prior on for all .
Let me emphasize that the following ideas are elementary. Some may be found, with more or less generality, in analysis and approximation theory textbooks. It is, however, interesting to recollect the facts relevant in statistical applications.
1. The basics
The finite dimensional sieves take the form
where the are densities and the coefficients range through some set which we assume contains the simplex .
The following lemma gives sufficient conditions for to be dense in , with the total variation distance.
Lemma 1. Suppose that there exists a measurable partition of , with , such that:
- for all , , uniformly in ; and
- , uniformly in .
Then, is dense in . More precisely, the linear operator maps densities to densities and is such that for all integrable , and for all continuous , .
Proof: We first show that , for all continuous . The method of proof is well-known.
The fact that is linear and maps densities to densities is easily verified. It follows that monotonous (). Now, let . By hypothesis (2), we can suppose that . Thus for all and by the monotonicity of , . Since is compact, is absolutely continuous and there exists such that . Take sufficienly large so that . We have
The first sum is bounded above by , independently of , and the second sum goes uniformly to . Therefore .
We now show that for all integrable . Let . The space of continuous functions is dense in ; there exists a continuous with . Therefore, . Because maps densities to densities it is of norm and . Thus for sufficiently large so that , we obtain .
Finally, and the preceding implies is dense in . QED.
1.1 Examples.
- On the unit interval with the Lebesgue measure, the densities , with , obviously satisfy the hypotheses of the preceding lemma. Here, is the indicator function of the set .
- The indicator functions above may be replaced by the Bernstein polynomial densities . The conditions of the lemma are also satisfied and the proof is relatively straightforward.
Note that any operator of the form may be decomposed as , where is the histogram operator and . In other words, calculating is the process of reducing to an associated histogram and then smoothing it.
A dual approximation process.
Consider the histogram operator and suppose that . Instead of replacing the densities on the outside of the integral by , as we did before, we may replace the partition of unity inside the integral by the partition of unity . This yields the following histogram operator :
It can also be extended to act on measures, by letting
The preceding is of interest in kernel density estimation: given the empirical distribution of observed data , a possible density estimate is . Binning the data through the integral rather than can reduce the sensitivity of the density estimate to the choice of bins .
1.2 The general form of linear operators.
Let be a sequence of positive linear operators mapping densities to densities and such that . Then for each and , there exists a random variable such that . This is a direct consequence of the Riesz representation theorem for positive functionals on . In particular, if admits a density , then
Note that for general random variables , the function may not be a density.
A sufficient condition so that , uniformly in and for all continuous , is the following:
- for all , , uniformly in , meaning that the random variables satisfy the weak law of large numbers uniformly in .
Indeed, for all and continuous ,
The first mean on the RHS is bounded by any when is sufficiently small. The second mean is bounded by a constant multiple of , which goes to zero as .
Rates of convergence
Let be a continuous density and be a modulus of continuity, for instance
For all , we have
Therefore, for any sequence , a calculation yields
In euclidean space, for example, when and exists, for all , we find
1.3 Introducing other parameters
We may index our operators by general parameters , whenever is a directed set (i.e. for all , there exists such that and ). The sequence then becomes the net . We say that if for all there exists such that implies .
For example, we can consider the tensor product operator acting on the space of product densities, where is ordered as iff and .
These extensions are straightforward; the point is that many cases can be treated under the same formalism.

Loneliness Awareness Week 17th June – 21st June 2019
In 2017 an inclusive campaign to raise awareness of loneliness amongst everyone in the UK did not exist, so we started the first one….
Marmalade Trust started Loneliness Awareness Week (LAW) just three years ago. It was really apparent to us that raising awareness is an important part of changing the way we think and acknowledge loneliness. We need to talk about it.
LAW 2018 was incredible! We supported over 250 events that ran across the UK. Japanese HNK television even came over from Japan to film the awareness week. The reach was over 4 million people, and we are so grateful for everyone who got involved.
Loneliness Awareness Week 2019: reducing the stigma of loneliness
Marmalade Trust's vision is to create a society where loneliness is recognised openly as something likely to affect us all.
One of the first steps to achieving this is to reduce the stigma around loneliness – our theme for LAW 2019.
We have over 300 organisations across the UK partnering with us to raise awareness, support people to find friendship by hosting events and raise money to help us do more.
This year's campaign looks to be bigger and better than ever.
How to get involved
Help us reduce the stigma
- Click the link and make the pledge "It's ok to say I've been lonely".

Wrixon Mpanang'ombe
Founder, Partnerships and Engagement Leader
Wrixon is a young Malawian man who is committed to making a difference in his country. In 2016, He worked on a research project for Eawag at Limbe market in Blantyre. Wrixon interacted with several market vendors during the research, and noticed the lack of awareness about environmental and sustainability issues among the vendors. He was surprised that none of the (interviewed) vendors had ever heard about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). That aroused his curiosity and he began randomly asking people if they knew of the SDGs. Their responses were startling: only people working in the sustainable development sector knew about the SDGs. He decided to start Our Fresh Futurez as a platform to advocate for sustainability and the SDGs. Wrixon is a graduate of the University of Malawi.

If You're in Oil or Gas, You Won't Want to Miss This
Interset's CTO, Stephan Jou, will be at the API Cybersecurity Conference offering solutions to protect critical infrastructure. Here's a preview of his talk.
Earlier this year, the Harvard Business Review observed that for too long, enterprises have tended to "treat cybersecurity as a finite problem that can be solved, rather than as the ongoing process that it is." This idea is rapidly transforming how companies now invest in threat-detection products.
The need for security that shape-shifts with threats is particularly important to oil and gas companies, challenged with protecting critical infrastructure for purposes of both enterprise business and "civilian" quality of life. With this in mind, Interset CTO Stephan Jou will be on hand at the upcoming API Cybersecurity Conference to contribute to the "External Threat Detection & Data Analytics for Cybersecurity—Machine Centric Analysis" discussion (November 7 at 2:30 p.m.).
Presenting five relevant case studies, he'll show you how machine-learning analytics technology has eliminated false security alerts and dramatically accelerated threat-response time, while offering meaningful risk intelligence. You'll also learn how enterprises can achieve rapid cybersecurity deployment and detection with little maintenance. Ultimately, this is technology that will transform how we protect networks, grids, as well as other critical infrastructure.
In addition to catching this machine-learning event, you can also visit Interset throughout the API conference at booth #308.
