Topic: importing data from motion sensors
Maybe you know the Leomo solution? (https://youtu.be/YYBR8XYWEK4?t=217)
I don't think it's a lot of work to implement something like this at kinovea.
I have found a company that offers such sensors very cheap.
of course it would be best to read the data live from the sensor and display it in kinovea while recording is in progress but importing the stored data from the sensor would also be sufficient for analysis.
What do you think of that?

They happened upon a package of hot dogs in their sandwich meat drawer that we had overlooked for the last couple of weeks. We're not real big hot dog eaters, but I do occasionally buy a package or two if they are on sale. Ball Park Franks were on sale for $0.99 a few weeks back, and I had picked up a package. A quick check of the expiration date showed they were going out-of-date today!
We went ahead with our sandwiches for lunch, and I made an adjust to our supper plans. We will probably have the pizza tomorrow night, since I haven't bought the fish planned for Wednesday night yet. Having my ground meats and boiled chicken pre-cooked and in the freezer really helps me be able to change our meal plans on the spur of the moment.
I made Cheesy Crescent Dogs for supper. Since we each had two of these, I didn't make any sides. The kids really like these! They are kind of fun!!
Cheese strips
Hot dogs sliced lengthwise with cheese inserted in middle
Hot dogs wrapped in crescent dough
Cheesy Crescent Dogs
Hot dogs sliced lengthwise with cheese inserted in middle
Hot dogs wrapped in crescent dough
Cheesy Crescent Dogs
Cheesy Crescent Dogs
8 hot dogs
Block cheddar cheese cut into hot dog-length slices
crescent rolls (I used reduced fat)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Split each hot dog down the middle lengthwise, cutting almost all the way through.
Place a long thick cheese slice down the middle.
Separate the crescent dough into triangles.
Lay each hot dog lengthwise down a crescent roll. Wrap dough stretching it a bit to completely cover the hot dog.
Place crescent-covered dogs on a foil lined cookie sheet. (This will make for quick cleanup of any cheese the oozes out!)
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve with ketchup and mustard, if you like.

Notes on Writing: Keeping things ShortSubmitted by tamara.harpster on Wed, 06/06/2018 - 20:30
I've posted the next chapter of my Work In Progress (WIP), not a lot to write about at this time. I am slowly plugging through the chapters and it can be challenging to keep track of things due to the time in between publication. Because of this, I wrote a short chapter this time, with less of the actions written out and more description. In other words, I did more telling than showing. I was more interested in getting the story captured for right now and leaving more time to work on the next sections so I can fill up my queue.
Paths and FogSubmitted by tamara.harpster on Wed, 05/23/2018 - 20:44
Throughout my life, when I've felt depressed, I've found that walking or driving can improve my mood. At these times I feel lost and unsure of how to move forward with my life. When walking or driving I am free of life's distractions and I have time to think and reconnect with myself. During these activities I have noticed things that seem to mirror how I feel.
Notes on Writing: RepetitionSubmitted by tamara.harpster on Wed, 05/16/2018 - 20:55
For this installment of The Year 2038 Bug I am a week late on finishing up this chapter. I did finish the initial draft last week but I ran out of steam before I edited the content. For those with an eye for detail, I suspect you wonder if any editing occurs before I publish these chapters. I assure you that it does but it is very light and meant to catch large mistakes. So, standard warning, this is a book in progress and the text may or may not be included in the final version of the book.
Autism DiversitySubmitted by tamara.harpster on Thu, 04/26/2018 - 08:41
At the end of March I wrote about the different viewpoints within the autism community. There is a saying, "If you've met one person with autism, then you have met one person with autism" and it describes how different each autistic person is. Conflict and anger can often result due these differences in all of the people involved in the autism community. I suspect many people see those differences as a weakness, with a desire to have a united front but after a great deal of thought, I see things differently. Perhaps those differences are a strength.
Notes on Writing: Back to the Main StorySubmitted by tamara.harpster on Wed, 04/11/2018 - 21:49
I've finished the section of back story for each character, it helped me in filling out their motivations and character for the main story. Now back to the main story, we join Jake as he tries to figure out what has happened and reports in for duty to help out.
Viewpoints - Autism Awareness, Autism AcceptanceSubmitted by tamara.harpster on Wed, 03/28/2018 - 20:44
It is almost April, which is also Autism Awareness month. April 2nd is World Wide Autism Awareness day. Over the last few years, I have been learning about autism by reading books, following autistic bloggers, parents of autistic children and participating in a discussion group focused on autism. While performing this research, I have become acquainted with the challenges and issues each group has when dealing with autism.
Notes on Writing: 2038 Backstory 2031Submitted by tamara.harpster on Wed, 03/14/2018 - 21:45
For those few who are following along, this is the last of the back stories, at least for the moment. This story is about Deidre and how she left home. I have enjoyed writing this section but I suspect that most of this will be pulled out of the final book or trimmed down quite a bit. I like to learn more about my characters but I'm not sure how well it will fit into the final story.

We've all had moments where we doubt our presence in a workplace. A lot of times, it can be a social gathering at work, where a few awkward faux pas can lead you to believe that your co-workers don't want you there. Such out-of-the-place feelings can give you unwanted anxiety and stress. And with every incident like this, your anxiety starts climbing the stairs of your mental state, crippling it slowly.
Imagine feeling like this every day, even during your regular workday; feeling alienated, as if nobody wanted you around. Imagine your 9-5 job turning into your worst nightmare.
Starting work at a new place can be nerve-racking. A person's mundane worry range from making a positive impact at work to accomplishing their targets for that day. But the disputes in their minds get even more unsettling as they begin speculating if they're being paid equally to hoping that they don't become victims of sexual harassment. Somewhere, they seek to avoid falling into stereotypes.
Carrying such questions can be a lot, since the burden of them force us to survive than thrive in our workplace, affecting our careers severely. The productivity in a workplace is entirely dependent upon the wellbeing of its workers. As the list of discomforts grows, so do our anxiety levels. Workplace anxiety can be a maddening experience for anyone who faces it. Unsurprisingly, almost everyone faces this problem. Such are the realities of our world.
Trying to overcome such stress and anxiety affect us so much, that it becomes difficult for us to do our original jobs properly; the jobs that we get paid for.
Therefore, it is vital for company superiors to create an environment that aims for the success of their teams. Psychological safety, in a workplace, is all about creating environments in which employees feel acknowledged and respected. When employees don't feel safe mentally in an environment, they fail to meet expectations, which hinders the overall progress of the firm.
We have often heard that things like 'feelings' and 'emotions' are not meant for a workplace. However, we have the power to use the same 'feelings' and 'emotions' and help the people around us, in and out of work. It is essential for an employer or co-worker to show compassion towards their team members.
Here are a few ways you, as an employer or co-worker, can help:-
- Acknowledge failure: Always be tolerant towards failures and shortcomings. Show your team members that it is alright to make mistakes. You can do this by recalling a past mistake that taught you a lesson. Self-disclosure is also a good way to make them understand that mistakes are a common human error. Show them that reporting an error is not the same as a poor performance. In fact, not reporting an error is a sign of poor performance.
- Pay attention: Keep an eye on your team members. See how they fair under pressure. Always keep a tab on their workload, making sure that your team members are only taking up optimal stress. If they ever look overstressed, then sit them down and talk. Try to adjust their workload if possible.
- Empower and challenge: Let your team members take charge of projects well within their capability. Give them the proper authority to do their jobs and make appropriate decisions. Challenge them to overcome their barriers based on their skills. Tell them you trust them with a job. Trust in your employee's skills and capability empowers them to perform well.
- Recognize and be fair: Always acknowledge a job well done. Reward team members for their notable success, while continually being fair in all aspects. This will make a big difference in your team member's state of mind.
- Promote respect: It is crucial to promote mutual respect in your workplace. There should be respect not just between a senior and junior but also co-workers. A good workplace has no space for things like racism, gender discrimination or stereotypes. Every individual, no matter their designation, has the right to get respect from the people around them. A respectful environment helps a person focus on their work, where people do not undermine them.
- Be flexible, approachable and supportive: One of the major problems faced by employees is trying to bring balance between their personal and professional lives. By making work hours flexible, introducing telecommuting policies and compressed work weeks, you can help your team members stabilize their lives. It is essential to shorten the lines of communication or have an open door policy for your employees to approach you. Whenever an employee or co-worker approaches you with a problem, be supportive of them. Try and understand their concern and try to offer help wherever possible.
- Differentiate between psychological safety and accountability: A psychologically safe environment promotes not punishing an employee for their errors harshly. However, this shouldn't mean that there aren't any consequences for lack of performance. While rewarding good performance is necessary, so is taking action against poor performance. All of this has to be done while accepting expected flaws and errors.
As our generation evolves, we are becoming more capable of creating safe environments for our employees and co-workers. Research shows that people who feel psychologically safe tend to be more innovative and learn from their mistakes. Ultimately, a high performing team needs an environment which makes them feel safe both physically and mentally.

Today we're giving you a specific example of how you should use Twitter Share and Facebook Like buttons on your website newsletter pages.
We assume you send your newsletters via email. From within the newsletter, you should allow your readers to share it to their favorite social network. You might only have 300 people on your email newsletter list, but allowing sharing gives you the chance to reach thousands of new customers.
Many email newsletter companies (like Constant Contact, iContact and Aweber) allow short term archival of your newsletters on their website. Mostly, this allows user to read the newsletter through a website instead of their email program.

More high-schoolers working for a living
March 8, 2003
FORT LUPTON – Nearly every day after school, Kendra Buck drives 30 minutes to her job as a hostess at the Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Thornton.
Six hours later, worn out from being on her feet all night, Buck drives back to her Fort Lupton home to tackle homework.
After a little sleep, she's ready to do it all over again the next day.
The schedule is tough, but the extra money is worth it, said 18-year-old Buck, a senior at Fort Lupton High School.
Buck is among a growing number of high school students working part-time jobs while going to school.
Steve Woodruff, head counselor at Fort Lupton, said although he doesn't have specific numbers, he has seen a significant increase of students working in the past 10 years.
Recommended Stories For You
"Students can get pretty good jobs," Woodruff said. "Ten dollars an hour is a lot of money to a high-schooler – they get used to having that money."
Mostly students work for extra spending money, said Woodruff, adding that in some cases, students' incomes help support their families.
Another popular reason for seeking work is to help pay for new cars.
That was the case for Brittany Jaramillo, also a Fort Lupton senior.
She works 20 hours a week as an office assistant at a Fort Lupton oil well company.
The two said while it's nice to have spending money for clothing and cars, they need jobs to pay for after-school activities. Both girls are members of Future Business Leaders of America, a national organization that helps students prepare for careers in business. Their work pay helps cover travel expenses and conference fees that are sometimes as high as $500.
They agreed that working while in high school is a good way to build a resume and gain connections in the working world, but they especially like not having to ask their parents for money.
The biggest downside to working is sleep deprivation, said Buck, who puts in 30 hours each week at her restaurant job.
"The challenge is getting homework done," said Buck, who maintains good grades and a high grade point average.
Balancing work and school can be difficult for students who work, Woodruff said.
"Education should be their first priority. Once they start getting that check, it can cloud their judgement as to their responsibilities," he said.
Woodruff also worries that working during high school might give students a false sense of their financial situation and can deter them from going to college.
That's not the case for Buck and Brittany, who look forward to attending college this fall.
Brittany, 17, plans to study advertising. Buck, who puts away extra money from her paycheck for college, wants to go into politics with the hope of someday becoming president of the United States.

Last week I tried TWO new recipes, and they were HUGE hits with my family. We really liked the Cheese Tortellini dish, and the Panini sandwiches!
This Week's Menu
Monday: French Toast, Bacon, and Fruit
Tuesday: Burrito Bake with lettuce, salsa, and sour cream
Wednesday: Children's Request - Cheese Tortellini and broccoli
Thursday: Cheeseburgers and French Fries
Friday/Saturday: My husband is in charge of the food while I'm away at a Pastor's Wives Conference! I bought a bag of frozen chicken strips he can cook for Friday's dinner, and they're going to order pizza on Saturday. I'll remind him to serve fruits and veggies while I'm away:)
Sunday Lunch: 20 to 40 Cloves of Garlic Chicken
Sunday Supper: Crockpot Fried Rice with Leftovers (I'm going to use the leftover chicken from lunch and any leftover veggies in the fridge to make this supper). I'll just throw all the leftovers and additional ingredients back in the crockpot after lunch, and it will be ready by Supper time:) I LOVE my crockpot!!!!
Do you have a menu planned this week? If so, go on over to "I'm an Organizing Junkie" and link up and share. If you don't have a menu planned, it's a great place to go and get some ideas!


text: One thing that I tell people at networking industry functions is that we really don't have competitors in this industry. We all share the same safety goals and do this work of locating subsurface utilities and underground utility mapping because we feel it's important work. We respect each other and the individual commitment to safety. There is enough work for everyone. There is so much new construction taking place, along with the installation of solar arrays and subsurface trenching for communication conduits. We stay busy, as I'm sure the other companies do that perform the same type of work. We spend a lot of time driving to the many jobs that we have all over the state. Oftentimes when driving to a job site, I'll see other companies that perform the same services. Rather than think of them as the competition, I feel relieved. It's good to know that home owners and contractors are going above and beyond calling 811, and are utilizing private utility locating companies to verify and confirm the existence of subsurface utilities in areas of concern. Safety is the name of the game. We also help out on projects directed at those aging pipelines under the street. We do storm drain and sewer line inspections. We want to be a partner in safety. Call us, we can help.

Facebook Shuffles Execs, creates mysterious blockchain division
Facebook is launching its own blockchain division as part of a broader reorganization of its executive lineup
The experimental blockchain group will be led by David Marcus, the executive most recently in charge of Facebook's Messenger group. Marcus sits on the board of directors of Coinbase, an exchange for cryptocurrency (which uses the blockchain as its underlying technology), and joined Facebook from PayPal in 2014.
Instagram's current vice president of product, Kevin Weil, will be leaving that role to join Facebook's blockchain team under Marcus. The two positions are the only ones announced so far for the team, and come amid a lot of other employee reshuffling.
Facebook will now operate under three divisions: a "family of apps" group (including Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger), a new platforms division (including a blockchain technology team, augmented and virtual reality, enterprise technology and artificial intelligence) and a "central product services" team, which covers shared resources like ads, data analytics and security.
The report comes as Facebook has faced fallout over data privacy and "fake news," amid revelations of data sales to outside firms like Cambridge Analytica, and evidence of Russian election interference. Meanhwhile, Facebook has tried to keep its ad revenue growing through newer, younger platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram.
WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum announced last month he was leaving the company. As part of this week's reorganization, most Facebook apps are getting new leaders, save Instagram, which will continue to be run by Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom.
Facebook separately announced on Tuesday that it added Jeff Zients, the CEO of Cranemere, to the board. Zients will join the audit committee, Facebook said, as will another recently added board member, Kenneth Chenault. Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen will also be on the committee but will no longer be on the compensation and governance committee.

I've only taught my Honors Programming II Game Programming class for 3 days now and I'm evaluating my students C# skills with various beginner programs. In addition, I am introducing Gaming concepts with my students using the free online book called The Art of Computer Game Design by Chris Crawford. I am also using some the Video Gaming Webcast that Microsoft has available with Matthew Mead who is a Computer Science Instructor from Digipen Institute of Technology. The Webcasts does not cover XNA but does cover programming games in C# and it covers many important topics that my students need to know before they can even program games.
Matthew does a good job at explaining these concepts:
My students will start to program in C# their first game called Brix next week.
As its name implies, this is a Windows-based game named Brix. It is a classic bricks game where the player manipulates a pad that moves horizontally. The pad can move right and left using the Right and Left arrow keys. The ball rests on the pad. When the Spacebar is pressed, the ball begins moving. When the ball hits a brick, the brick reflects the ball and vanishes. When all the bricks are hit, the game is over.
They will learn new concepts in C# and then apply those concepts to the game as well as other console app programs. As a teacher, I'm excited about teaching theme programming. The theme is gaming and I can not only teach students the programming language but talk about gaming concepts as well. Needless to say, my students are extremely motivated and want to learn more.
There was a reason why I put xbox controllers on their PC and told them that soon they will programming XNA games that use the controller. For now, my students fingers and thumbs are aching to use the controller. This helps with motivation!
More next week as we begin our game program.

There were tears and hung heads as Springfield filed off A.G. Cornog Stadium Tuesday evening. But there was something more behind the initial sadness of the Cougars' 12-5 dismissal from the PIAA Semifinals at the hands of Radnor.
For whatever disappointment understandably lingered, the Cougars (19-5) also carried an underlying and undeniable sense of pride off the field. And while the journey ended one game short of where they hoped it to culminate, that does little to tarnish what was accomplished along the way.
"It's an emotional ride," coach Tom Lemieux said. "I think our kids did a great job of sticking with it and came out fighting every day in practice and the games. I'm just really proud of these guys."
Putting Springfield's loss in perspective requires context as to the challenge set out before them. To win the District One and PIAA titles back-to-back mandates nine straight victories. That's nine consecutive, next-to-perfect outings without an easy opponent in the bunch.
Since the first-round districts win over West Chester East (the magic 29th invitee that appeared in what was originally slated as a 28-team field), the opponents have been a murderers' row of challenges. They came back from a halftime deficit to banish Downingtown East, which they had beaten by one goal in April. They needed Kyle Long's winner with 13 seconds left to get by Spring-Ford. The trampled Central Bucks East twice – 12-6 in the District One semifinal and 8-3 in the PIAA quarterfinal – a Patriots squad that dumped Garnet Valley into playbacks and ran all over District 11 champ Emmaus in states.
Springfield's first PIAA opponent was by far the most daunting faced by the four District One teams in the top half of the bracket, with Dan Wasson's goal in overtime required to outlast a talented Hershey team that had underachieved to third place in District 3.
The pattern seems well established that winning the District One title generally precludes winning a PIAA title. Avon Grove, for instance, the two-time defending district champ, lost in the finals and semifinals, respectively, the last two years to District One opposition. Surviving the deep districts field and the (slightly thinner) states gauntlet in quick succession is just so daunting that failing to do so is no shame.
Those statements don't even detail Springfield's unique journey. They languished at 0-2, and doubt could've washed away the roots of the success before they ever had a chance to take hold.
No matter how many games they won in a row (10, before a regular-season-ending loss to Upper Dublin, then the seven in the playoffs), Lemieux sought to perpetuate the underdog mantra, which befitted the hunger and tenacity with which his group played.
"A lot of people counted us out at the beginning of the year," Lemieux said. "We surprised a lot of people. This is a special season for us. We've done a lot of good things and a lot of things that nobody through we would do."
Ninety-nine percent of teams are fated to end their season on a losing note. Far fewer experience the lofty heights that Springfield ascended. If nothing else, the sadness Tuesday gave way to an appreciation of that fact.
"I'm just happy that we got to have the greatest season I've had so far," senior attackman Lucas Spence said. "It's awesome. It's tough to be perfect, but we did our best. We faced a ton of adversity all year, and I'm proud of what we did. It sucks we couldn't get more to get to the finals, but that happens."

Three Village Central School District students showed their creative talents and artistic capabilities during this year's International Interdependence Hexagon Project, a visual arts opportunity for students worldwide.
The event encourages students to create art within the infinitely interlinking shape of a hexagon, a metaphor for interconnectedness. Within the shape, students made connections to the world around them through shapes, words and other artistic representation. The 2018 theme was "Transforming Conflicts," and was a call to promote global citizenship.

Description of the People of Ad
The people of 'Ad lived many years in the windswept hills of an area between Yemen and Oman.They were physically well built and renowned for their craftsmanship especially in the construction of tall buildings with lofty towers. They were outstanding among all the nations in power and wealth, which, unfortunately, made them arrogant and boastful. Their political power was held in the hand of unjust rulers, against whom no one dared to raise a voice.They were not ignorant of the existence of Allah, nor did they refuse to worship Him. What they did refuse was to worship Allah alone. They worshipped other gods, also, including idols. This is one sin Allah does not forgive.
Description of Hud
Allah wanted to guide and discipline these people so He sent a prophet from among them. This prophet was Hud (PBUH), a noble man who handled this task with great resoluteness and tolerance. Ibn Jarir reported that he was Hud Ibn Shalikh, Ibn Arfakhshand, Ibn Sam, Ibn Noah (PBUH). He also reported that Prophet Hud (PBUH) was from a tribe called Ad Ibn Us Ibn Sam Ibn Noah, who were Arabs living in Al Ahqaf in Yemen between Oman and Hadramaut, on a land called Ashar stretching out into the sea. The name of their valley was Mughiith Some traditions claimed that Hud (PBUH) was the first person who spoke Arabic while others claimed that Noah (PBUH) was the first. It was also said that Adam was the first.
Hud's Appeal to His People – Quranic
Allah the Almighty states:
"And to Ad people We sent their brother Hud. He said: "O my people! Worship Allah! You have no other Ilah (god) but Him; Certainly, you do nothing but invent (lies)! O my people I ask of you no reward for it (the Message). My reward is only from Him Who created me. Will you not then understand? And O my people! Ask forgiveness of your Lord and then repent to Him, He will send you (from the sky) abundant rain, and add strength to your strength, so do not turn away as Mujrimeen (criminals, disbeliveers in the Oneness of Allah)."
They said: "O Hud! No evidence have you brought us and we shall not leave our gods for your mere saying! We are not believers in you. All that we say is that some of our gods (false deities) have seized you with evil (madness)." HE said: "I call Allah to witness and bear you witness that I am free from that which you ascribe as partners in worship, and with Him (Allah). SO plot against me, all of you, and give me no respite. I put my trust in Allah, my Lord and your Lord! There is not a moving (living) creature but HE has grasp of its forelock. Verily, my Lord is on the Straight Path (the truth). SO if you turn away, still I have conveyed the Message with which I was sent to you. My Lord will make another people succeed you, and you will not harm Him in the least. Surely, my Lord is Guardian over all things."(Ch 11:50-57 Quran)
The Disbelievers Question Hud
The chiefs of Hud's people asked: "Is it not strange that Allah's chooses one of us to reveal His message to?"
Hud replied: "What is strange in that? Allah wants to guide you to the right way of life, so HE sent me to warn you. Noah's flood and his story are not far away from you, so do not forget what happened. All the disbeliveers were destroyed, no matter how strong they were."
"Who is going to destroy us Hud?" the chiefs asked.
"Allah." replied Hud.
The disbeliveers among his people answered: "We will be saved by our gods."
Hud clarified to them that the gods they worshipped would be the reason for their destruction, that it is Allah alone Who saves people, and that no other power on earth can benefit or harm anyone.
The conflict between Hud and his people continued. The years passed, and they became prouder and more obstinate, and more tyrannical and more defiant of their prophet's message.
The Punishment
Thus Hud renounced them and their gods and affirmed his dependence on Allah Who had created him. Hud realized that punishment would be incurred on the disbeliveers among his people. It is one of the laws of life. Allah punishes the disbeliveers, no matter how rich, tyrannical or great they are.
Hud and his people waited for Allah's promise. A drought spread throughout the land, for the sky no longer sent its rain. the sun scorched the desert sands, looking like a disk of fire which settled on people's heads.
Hud's people hastened to him asking: "What is that drought Hud?"
Hud answered: "Allah is angry with you. If you believe in Him, He will accept you and the rain will fall and you will become stronger than you are."
They mocked him and became more obstinate, sarcastic and preserve in their unbelief. The drought increased, the trees turned yellow, and plants died.
A day came when they found the sky full of clouds. Hud's people were glad as they came out of their tents crying: "A cloud, which will give us rain!"
The weather changed suddenly from burning dry and hot to stinging cold with wind that shook everything; trees, plants, tents, men and women. The wind increased day after day and night after night.
Hud's people started to flee. They ran to their tents to hide but the gale became stronger, ripping their tents from their stakes. They hid under cloth covers but the gale became stronger and still and tore away the covers. It slashed clothing and skin. It penetrated the apertures of the body and destroyed it. It hardly touched anything before it was destroyed or killed, its core sucked out to decompose and rot. The storm raged for 8 days and 7 nights.
Almighty Allah recounts:
"Then when they saw it as a dense cloud coming towards their valleys, they said: "This is a cloud bringing us rain!" Nay but it is that torment which you were asking to be hastened! a wind wherein is a painful torment! Destroying everything by the command of its Lord! (Ch 46:24-25 Quran)
Allah the Exalted described it thus:
"And as for Ad, they were destroyed for a furious violent wind which Allah imposed on them for seven nights and eight days in succession, so that you could see men lying overthrown (destroyed) as if they were hollow trunks of palm trees! (Ch 69:6-7 Quran)

Former president of Nigeria, Dr. Olusegun Obasanjo, is now a bona fide staff of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), as he inspected his office space at the institution's Abeokuta Study Centre on Tuesday, in his capacity as a facilitator.
The Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Abdalla Uba Adamu, had soon after the former president's graduation with PhD in January, appointed him as a facilitator.
A facilitator is a part-time academic coordinator for students in the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) system which open universities operate.
Obasanjo, the first PhD graduate of the university, received his certificate in Christian Theology during NOUN's 7th Convocation ceremony earlier this year in Abuja.
The director of the Abeokuta centre, Prof. Ibrahim Salawu, who was on hand to show Obasanjo his office, said this became necessary following his appointment as a facilitator.
Salawu, who led the former president, in company of other members of staff on a familiarisation tour of the centre, said it was a pleasure having him around as a colleague in the academia.
Obasanjo expressed satisfaction at the office space allotted him and promised to work for the progress of the university.
Well done Dr Obasanjo

Obasanjo assumes office as facilitator at NOUN
Surely, it's no hidden secret that General Olusegun Obasanjo is one great man and assuming the office of a Facilitator at NOUN is a positive addiction to the institution. Dating and relationship between the Federal government of Nigeria and NOUN is paramount, and who is in a better position to see this through? OBJ himself.
I am sure that students can learn a lot from such a person, due to his great experience and achievements that he earned through his life.

Billboard cites "a source" and reports:
"Major labels have made a commitment with SoundExchange to pay half of royalties from a statutory service in the event they have negotiated a direct deal. In other words, a major label with a direct deal with Pandora would still pay to SoundExchange the 50% of royalties afforded to artists under the statutory license. The label would not keep 100% of royalties and pay artists a royalty -- after recoupment -- as it does with royalties from purchases and non-statutory services."
Earlier this week (here) we discussed the fact that sound recording copyright owners are only legally required to split U.S. Internet radio royalties 50/50 with performers when the webcaster operates under the "statutory" webcast licenses (those are the deals which cover all recorded copyright music, with royalties payable to SoundExchange). In other words, copyright owners striking "marketplace" deals directly with webcasters (which is perfectly legal to do) are not under the 50/50 split requirement, and only need compensate performers under the terms of the individual artist/label contract.
This fact led some to speculate that direct license deals could benefit webcasters and copyright owners (labels) alike, to the detriment of artists. For example, a label and operator could negotiate a deal which pays the label just 67% of what it would have under the statutory. The webcaster gets a one-third discount, and the label earns more than the 50% of the statutory royalty.
Industry expert David Touve most recently examined this situation in light of Apple's direct label negotiations for its updcoming streaming radio service. He wrote, "it didn't take a rocket scientist to anticipate that direct licenses for an iRadio service could get negotiated at rates below the webcaster rates formally established through the Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) or published Settlement agreement." Read more here.
Satellite radio operator SiriusXM and broadcasters like Clear Channel and Entercom have forged direct webcast royalty deals with several independent labels over the past months. Billboard says its source "does not know if independent labels have made a similar commitment with SoundExchange."

Councillor disappointed after Hitchin-Codicote B656 concrete plant approved
PUBLISHED: 12:00 19 January 2019 | UPDATED: 10:30 21 January 2019
A Hitchin councillor has expressed concerns after North Herts District Council's planning committee voted to approve plans for a concrete plant off the B656 between Hitchin and Codicote.
A planning application from Breedon Southern Ltd to build on an existing salvage yard at Rush Green were discussed at the meeting on Wednesday.
According to the transport assessment attached to Breedon's planning application, there would be an average of four or five HGV movements along the road per hour.
Following its approval, Hitchin Highbury ward councillor Sam Collins expressed his disappointment, saying: "I have been contacted by many residents from St Ippolyts, Gosmore and of course Hitchin – all with concerns about this planning application.
"If the Secretary of State approves this application then there will be 14,000 extra HGV movements on the B656 per year, many of them feeding into the already terribly congested Three Moorhens roundabout.
"This area already has illegally poor air quality and this will only make it a whole lot worse.
"There are also worries about safety, at the St Ippolyts crossing and again at the Three Moorhens."
In Breedon's transport assessment, prepared by consultant Jeremy Hurlstone as part of the application, it notes that the site is within cycling distance of Stevenage railway station, Hitchin and Codicote – and that "the B656 London Road appeared to be a popular cycling route, based on its observed usage by cyclists".
All 190 comments on the application on NHDC's website objected to it being approved.
The Rush Green concrete plant would replace their old ready-mixed concrete plant at Langley Sidings in Stevenage – which closed in 2016.
Councillor Collins is hoping to raise issues regarding the application to the Secretary of State.
"I am bitterly disappointed that the planning committee approved this, especially considering that ward councillors from Hitchin Highbury, Hitchin Priory and Hitchwood, Offa and Hoo all objected strongly.
"I hope to be able to make a representation to the Secretary of State on this issue."

Thoughts on Doing Too Much
There's several aspects to the phrase "doing too much", not all of them bad. I'll explore some of my thoughts on this here, but do feel free to add your own perspective in the comments.
Sometimes you gotta.
We've discussed that many a time here in the blog, so I won't go into it again this soon, but when a thing must be done, and you're the one around to do it, well…
And then there's defining "too much", which is a phrase whose definition really changes daily, when you think about it. Stamina, willpower, energy, and more aren't constants, they're variables; and you're unwise to treat them differently.
Sometimes I think a large part of life lessons revolve around learning our limits. What do "limits" mean on that daily changing basis; when to push them and when to accept them; when to keep them and when to free yourself from them however you can.
There's not much out there like facing terminal life conditions to make oneself face up to learning these lessons. Too many of us get an easy pass to skirt around the issue. I'm not saying life still isn't hard, for most of us, much of the time. But lessons like how to say "no this is too much for me right now" or "I need help with this, I can not do it on my own" are ones I've noticed many of us get to avoid facing head on.
When we finally must ask these things, reach out for this help, it often comes with a whole heap of guilt — and not always internal, either. Asking for help is often scary, for those doing the asking and those receiving the request. And if your requests for help have to change from "hey, I could use a little help on finishing this task," to "help me clean up the bedsheets I just wet myself on", your perspective becomes much harder to maintain.
But this is supposed to be about doing too much, isn't it?
Anyone who knows me knows that I run at the equivalent of 110% nearly every moment. Perhaps a slight exaggeration, but only a bit; I throw my full self into whatever I do, try to be as fully present in each moment as possible, whether it's building and reorganizing a first aid kit (a long-overdue task that's been on the to-do list for months that was completed today), feeding a 4-month-old a 6-month-old-sized helping of rice cereal and enjoying watching her race through it, or passing out over a keyboard as I atttempt to reorganize and make sense of a medication regimen that will keep me as pain-free and functional as possible while giving myself more space between constantly taking medications. (All tasks done today, not counting the occupational therapist appointment, the physical therapist appointment, the open house meet-n-greet for The Teen's school, or the several hours' visit and chat about business and other sundry topics with a friend using our kitchen to make and share tasty banana bread.)
Now mind you, the only out-of-house activity of all of those was the school open house, but that's still more than some people I know do in a week, much less a day, much less three weeks out from a two-month hospital stay. And sure, I'm exhausted and I hurt (but I always hurt these days, and have been told to expect that I may always have some chronic pain issues from the damage I took to bones and nerves from this metastasis). When one has experienced enough pain to completely incapacitate, it's an effort to readjust one's pain scale to know when to pay attention and slow down. That's a mental adjustment I do work on, daily. Ha, but then again, that's another task as well, isn't it?
Tomorrow I'll leave the house again; this time for an informal support group luncheon. (And very much hopefully picking up the rest of my medications, or it will be a much more painful weekend than I've had for a while.) I've never been to a support group, even an informal one, so it's a new experience. The rest of the day is scheduled around "resting"; visiting with my mother, discussing salary issues with the live-in help, hopefully a household board game in the evening for some fun.
And yet there are still items on the to-do list that have sat there, some for months (amazing how much cancer interrupts life flow). This blog post has been written on all week, and isn't the one most of you are waiting to read (the scans were overall good, and details will be forthcoming, I promise). My physical therapist doesn't understand why I can't find time to do my PT exercises twice each day, and she's unfortunately right in that if I did so, my endurance would increase accordingly and I could get more done of what I want or need to get done.
I think that you've done "too much" when your body shuts you down against your will. If I want to finish this post, but I wake up 5 hours from now with dffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff across a paragraph's worth of screen, it's quite likely I did more than I "should have". But that's an "after the fact" tell, not a signal to stop before I get to that point. And I do agree that sleep should get its own fair 110% along with the rest of daily activities, though that's a lesson it's taken a stubborn while to accept and learn.
It's made harder by the fact that other people can't tell you what your "too much" is. When I say I need to write more, and someone responds that I really need to focus on visualizing a healthy self and resting and taking care of me before "worrying" about more writing, on one level they're right (especially their own level, of what they can imagine they'd need to do under similar circumstances — may none of you ever have those). But when a blog post or fiction snippet I finish at four in the morning rejuvenates my soul, gives peace to my mind, allows me to actually, deeply, rest for three solid hours, it becomes harder to believe that taking the time to write was "too much". And you can't always know ahead of time that I "should have" made that choice instead of taking my ambien and trying for just the resting part.
So, conclusion: No easy answers on what "too much" is, when to know when you've found it, or how to avoid it. But I'd adore for this to become a discussion in its own right and hear about your own experiences or attempts to control this urge. If you have any, share your thoughts here.

I'm much better at noticing when those dear to me are pushing too close to "too much" than I am about my own over-extensions. Fortunately, for me, for him, sometimes when I take the time to help my significant other relax at the end of a stressful day, or take a particular task off of his plate and put it on mine, or just be there so he can rant about his work, or let him problem solve by bouncing ideas off of me (even about subjects I know little about), doing those things is also rejuvenating for me. Giving him my attention and helping take care of his needs takes some of my attention off of my own issues for a bit, and sometimes gives me the time and space for my problems to sort themselves out to some degree.
At other times, I use the writing much as you do- a way to regroup, look at things differently, process experiences, and sometimes just escape the mundanities of life for a little fantasy world. When I finish, I may be exhausted or I may be invigorated, but it does serve a purpose in some way. Perhaps even just giving me a mechanism to let go of concerns by writing them, allowing me to move past them.
Otherwise, it seems I, too, have the signal that I have done too much only after the fact. I don't know any good way around that one for most of us. The best I can do is try to stay aware of myself and my tension level, take deep breaths often (even if I don't feel I need it!), and take those moments when I can find them which give me happiness and joy to balance some of the others. Kind of a preemptive approach to the fact that I will do too much sometimes, but will try to take care of myself along the way.

Yes, I get the signals of "doing too much" toward the end of the work day – empty stomach, annoyance at other people socializing too loudly, irritation that I never got a chance to delve into the project that requires deep thought because my day has been splintered by interruptions. I find myself with my fingers in my ears just trying to think which of the many tasks remaining has to be done before I leave. But I'm getting better at leaving no more than an hour late instead of three hours past quitting time. Some day I will have a work load that actually fits into an eight hour day. I've asked for some of my tasks to be shifted to others, which means that I now put a lot of time into training, but eventually that may lessen. And I've asked that my desk be moved out of the central entry/mailbox/machine area, and that will happen in December or so (after I've managed the move of a dozen people to another building). I have refused some absolutely ridiculous demands and explained why. It ain't easy, but I'm getting better at it. And I'm counting the years until I can retire – ten more. But before those 10 years are up I intend to be the one WITH an assistant.

Lessons, lessons, lessons. Pain screams "too much". Unbelievably crushing fatigue screams "too much". Emotions stretched to the limit and resulting in seemingly unstoppable tears scream "too much". These are the most evident signs and there are more.
When one has extreme chronic pain, extreme chronic fatigue and deals with these elements 24/7/366 NO ONE outside yourself can tell you ANYTHING you don't know as to what you can do and what you can't and how long you can keep going and when not. They try to tell you, though, all the time. Some mean well as they love you and want the best for you. Some are just ill informed. For the most part, however the messages are delivered, we must forgive them FOR THEY KNOW NOT.
When I am forced to crash and have no choice about it then I know for sure, even if I've been trying to convince myself otherwise, that I've done too much. Often I know it before that time which is better but I must admit that I don't always stop when I should.
I feel like one pushes past endurance for many reasons when one is chronically ill. I believe it is partly because we are trying to compensate for what we know we don't have within ourselves; for what we know we can't really do; for what we've lost. And, I believe this is necessary for the chronically ill in order to keep going emotionally.
We have to push to do anything and everything. We have to push all the time. We have to push to do even the things we'd like to feel are "fun". There's no other choice. It is a way of life.
Pushing to keep going achieves just that. Otherwise, we might not keep going. We might quit. So, it is very important that we always decide for ourselves what is "too much". We must only listen to our own minds, hearts, and bodies and only this as the most definitive answer.

Yea. Just make sure that the nipples aren't seized to the spoke. You'll know that they are if the spoke just turns with the nipple no matter how hard you turn the wrench. That's the only thing you have to watch out for.
Only if they are hard. If they are soft then you might get smacked in the face.

The House of Mondavi by Julia Flynn Siler

Set in California's lush Napa Valley and spanning four generations of a talented and visionary family, The House of Mondavi is a tale of genius, sibling rivalry, and betrayal. From 1906, when Italian immigrant Cesare Mondavi passed through Ellis Island, to the Robert Mondavi Corporation's twenty-first-century battle over a billion-dollar fortune, award-winning journalist Julia Flynn Siler brings to life both the place and the people in this riveting family drama.The blood feuds are as spectacular as the business triumphs. Cesare's sons, Robert and Peter, literally came to blows in the 1960s during a dispute touched off by the purchase of a mink coat, resulting in Robert's exile from the family-and his subsequent founding of a winery that would set off a revolution in American winemaking. Robert's sons, Michael and Timothy, as passionate in their own ways as their visionary father, waged battle with each other for control of the company before Michael's expansive ambitions ultimately led to a board coup and the sale of the business to an international conglomerate.A meticulously reported narrative based on thousands of hours of interviews, The House of Mondavi is bound to become a classic.

The world kind of fell in love a little more with Canada in 2017. As the nation marked its 150th "birthday" from coast to coast, we continued to draw in global tourists who were struck by our landscape, hospitality, and Canadian-ness.
In this first month of 2018, as Canada still basks in the glow of an incredible year of favourable coverage from around the globe, the New York Times Food section has dedicated an issue to what Canadians eat and drink.
From butter tarts to oysters, the NY Times is taking a close look at Canada's food, and for their restaurant critic, Pete Wells, that includes a review of Vancouver's acclaimed Kissa Tanto.
Kissa Tanto, and its seductive meld of vintage Japanese jazz bar vibes with contemporary dining, opening to much critical fanfare in 2016. The second project of Tannis Ling and Joël Watanabe (the first is Chinatown's game-changer, Bao Bei) is known for its excellent cocktails, swank (but borderline kitsch) decor, and Italian-Japanese fusion food.
Wells, who is clearly smitten with Kissa Tanto, says the spot "conjures an imaginary parallel world," and "a lifelike fantasy." The drinks are "meticulously grounded in the proper techniques and ingredients."
When it comes to food, Wells lauds Kissa Tanto's celebrated whole fish, and dishes that manage to pull off the tough task of melding ingredients from divergent cuisines with success, like eggplant croquettes served with shavings of skipjack tuna and a yuzu-tinged gribiche.
What's particularly lovely about Wells' review of Kissa Tanto is that he manages to touch on the significance of a restaurant of this calibre finding success in Vancouver's evolving Chinatown with a measured touch.
This is a pleasant counterbalance to the rhetoric a writer in the New York Times Travel section chose to use to talk about the area in a 2016 piece on dining in Vancouver that includes Kissa Tanto: "Note: There's a wrong way and a right way to get to Kissa Tanto. We went the wrong way, walking down a dicey stretch of East Hastings Street, site of rampant drug activity. The right way, at least at night, is by taxi, car or bus."
But back to Kissa Tanto. It's still hard to get a table there (Wells acknowledges this) and it's now probably going to get harder. Kissa Tanto is a gem in Vancouver's dining scene, and makes for a very nice grown ups night out (though my date there was a preschooler, which the restaurant handled with applaudable panache).
"At Kissa Tanto, there's imagination all over the place. It's a restaurant to get lost in," concludes Wells.

In March 2015, the former Greenville Hospital re-opened as the Jersey City Medical Center at Greenville. With over one-hundred years of serving the Greenville community dating back to 1898, the acute care hospital had closed on April 23, 2008. The facility, purchased by the Community Healthcare System, has been renovated and is leased by Jersey City Medical Center-Barnabas Health as an outpatient medical center.
Greenville Hospital first opened as the "German Hospital and Dispensary of Hudson County, New Jersey" in a house located on Danforth Avenue by the Schwabischer Kranken Unterstitszungs Verein of Hudson County. Serving as an outpatient dispensary, it was operated by the Suabian Sick Benefit and Folks Festival Society, a German civic organization. They purchased the property and incorporated the hospital "to care for, nurture the sick, injured or those afflicted by disease, or victims of accidents or casualty, and the training, education and instruction or preparation of persons, male or female, to act as nurses."
At the time of the founding of the hospital, a new wave of German immigrants were arriving in Greenville, a section of Jersey City where earlier generations of Germans had already settled. The newcomers were most likely fleeing their homeland in anticipation of growing militarism in Europe and future war. They founded two German Lutheran congregations: the Greenville Gothic-style church Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church (now Muungano Seventh-Day Adventist Church) erected in 1877 on Kennedy Boulevard and McAdoo Avenue; and the English Lutheran Church of the Redeemer (now the Redeemer Lutheran Church) on Warner Avenue constructed in 1898.
The hospital building on Kennedy Boulevard was designed by local architect Robert C. Dixon. New Jersey Governor Woodrow Wilson joined Jersey City's Mayor H. Otto Wittpenn for the laying of the cornerstone on May 30, 1912. Also participating at the ceremony was the Rev. John E. Heindel of the Church of the Redeemer. The hospital opened to the community on June 1, 1914, with 32 beds. It thereby became the third hospital in Jersey City, along with the Jersey City Hospital on Baldwin Avenue (later Jersey City Medical Center) and the Christ Hospital on Palisade Avenue.
Due to the pressures of anti-German hostilities during World War I, the directors of the German Hospital renamed it the Greenville Hospital in 1918. They were determined not to allow the name to stand in the way of assisting those in need, especially with the increasing demands on local hospitals due to the war. The constant motto of the small neighborhood hospital was "Partners in care--sharing time and resources."
Over the years, the contemporary twentieth-century style building was renovated with extensions to the structure and changes to the entrance. The west wing to the hospital was added in 1971. In 1989, the Greenville Hospital joined with the Jersey City Medical Center; two years later they both joined the LibertyHealth Systems, a consortium of health care services in Hudson County and former parent organization of the Jersey City Medical Center).
Another renovation of Greenville Hospital took place in the late 1990s coinciding with its centennial anniversary. From May 2004 to 2008, it operated as an acute care facility. The completion of the new Jersey City Medical Center, less than three miles away at 355 Grand Street, and financial losses brought about a decision to close the community hospital. For two years (2009-2011), it became the Jersey City Medical Center's Emergency Medical Service. Subsequently the LibertyHealth Systems recognized that the city's growing population requires an urgent care center that could occupy the Kennedy Boulevard facility. It sold the hospital to Community Healthcare Associates in 2012 to repurpose the facility that is now leased to the Jersey City Medical Center.

(The Disneycember logo is shown, before showing clips from 1980's Popeye)
Doug (vo): Did you know that "Popeye" is technically a Disney film? Yeah, it's one of the few times that Disney actually worked with another studio to get a film made. And I'm here to talk about it today. Why? Because, in my opinion, I think too many people hate on this movie. Okay, it's not great, okay, it almost destroyed Robin Williams' career, and...okay, maybe it is a completely pointless film to have around. But with all those factors taken in... (sighs) Let's just look at the story.
Doug (vo): Robin Williams is Popeye the Sailor Man. He comes into town just looking to make a living for himself, and he ends up in a giant house with a giant family, one of them being Olive Oyl, played by Shelley Duvall. And if you know the Popeye cartoon, you kind of know the other characters he's gonna come across. There's a character obsessed with hamburgers named Weepy*, a cute little baby named Swee'pea, and a giant bully named Bluto, who always wants Olive Oyl, but Popeye is always there to fight for her.
*Note: Popeye's hamburger loving pal is actually named Wimpy, not Weepy
Doug (vo): Well, that's all fair and good, but, is that enough to make an actual story on it? The answer is...not really. So this story sort of goes all over the place. One minute, it's about him fitting in and getting annoyed with this tax collector, another minute, it's about him entering a fight and trying to win this big cash prize, another minute, it's about the baby and how he can predict the future guessing what's gonna win what race, and another point, it's about him trying to find his long-lost father, and at another point, it's about Bluto wanting to marry Olive Oil while also looking for buried treasure, it's...holy smokes, what isn't going on in this movie?! This isn't Popeye the Movie, this is Popeye the five or six cartoons thrown into one. But, strangely enough, for all the stuff that is going on in the movie, it has a very laid-back tone. And I think that's sort of what throws people off, but in my opinion, I think it's kinda delightful.
[The characters are shown]
Doug (vo): All the actors, for what they have to do, portray their parts fine. A lot of it is just them living in this town, interacting off each other and just trying to make a living. And once in a while, I don't mind seeing a movie like that, in fact, I actually would've maybe liked it a little bit more if it was more on the town and they didn't have to go looking for treasure and all that stuff. But on the other hand, it is a Popeye movie and you kind of gotta do something similar to that, you know, rock 'em, sock 'em, eat the spinach, all that stuff.
[The movie's slapstick is shown]
Doug (vo): There is a lot of slapstick and, granted, a lot of it is kinda slow because, well, you're always gonna be comparing it to the cartoon and it's not gonna be as fast as the cartoon, because back then, technology wasn't good enough to do that. But, I think it's okay because, once again, it is so laid-back. That's Robert Altman who directed this, and if you know anything about his work, you know that he usually directs very slow atmospheric movies, and this movie does have a lot of atmosphere. The Popeye cartoons, when you really think about it, are kind of quiet cartoons, at least when thinking of the older ones. Yeah, there's the song in the beginning and end, but, they're usually very quiet and a lot of it is sort of lazily dubbed over, but it kind of didn't matter. It just sort of had its own feel to it, and that's kinda what I think of with this movie. It's just kind of its own weird thing. And I think if it was trying too hard to have so much action and adventure and too many jokes, then maybe it couldn't have worked, but I think because it is so slow paced and it does sort of go at its own rate, it doesn't bother me. At the very least, it's an artist just sort of having fun with his version of something that was really popular. And it didn't feel like it was compromised, he was just sort of telling it the way that he saw it.
Final thought
Doug (vo): But, does that technically make it a good film? Eh...probably not. Like I said, it is all over the place, it is pointless for existing, and, well, the slapstick can't match with the original animation. But I think for me, there's just sort of this nice environment to it, and it has some nice songs, some actual catchy songs. If you're looking for this great big grand adventure that has a lot of comedy that you're gonna be laughing your ass off to, this definitely isn't the movie, but I don't know. If you're a person who likes to spend some days just sitting back and chatting with some friends and doing nothing much else, this is kinda like the cinematic version of that. You know, with a few goofy moments thrown in, but, hey, that happens a lot in laid-back conversations, too, right? I can't help it, I have a soft spot for this movie. And if you don't like it, I'm not gonna act like I don't understand. I do. A lot of people can find it boring, they can see it as not very funny. But for me, I see it as just kind of a nice film to pop in to relax to. It's got a few funny visuals, some fun performances, some enjoyable songs, and a lot a good atmosphere. Yeah, it's cheesy and corny, but for making Popeye into a movie, what did you expect? I actually think it's a lot better than what they could have had, at least, for the time period and what technology would allow. Now you can probably make it all CG with a lot of in-jokes and adult jokes and stuff, but for back then, I don't think this is half-bad. From my point of view, it's tough to the finish.
[The final scene of the movie, showing Popeye dancing in the water, is shown as a chorus sings]
Chorus: Popeye the Sailor Man!

Lovely course under flight pathClubhouse and course very good when we visited for a 9/11 charity golf day.
Sadly could not stay for dinner afterwards but course in excellent condition although two greens were not the same so inconsistent.
Would recommend.
(Round played: Sep 2017 - Score: 100 Handicap: 21.6)
A good day out of the office!!A four ball with old friends as part of a Charity Day auction "prize". All decided on the 18th

Great course, some strategic holes, mixed in with some challenging long holes. Greens were in great condition for April. Bunker placement on many holes required thought off the tee.
Great courseVery nice course in great condition. Very welcoming for our society
Lovely conditioned course, best I've seen itGreat course, close to London and standard was impeccable. Played this course 3 times now and best condition I've seen it in
(Round played: Aug 2019 - Score: 85 Handicap: 12.4)
Wouldn?t go again due to traffic
RMS Pam BartonSomehow manages to be good and disappointing all at the same time. NIce greens
and a good layout but very very short
(Round played: Sep 2018 - Score: 74 Handicap: 12.3)
Just can?t believe you?re in London!A lovely scenic, tree lined golf course. You cannot believe that you?re in residential London. Very friendly staff throughout and course in really good condition.
Very well kept parkland courseThe outer course (JH Taylor) is a real challenge at this very nice club. Despite the very dry summer, the course was in great shape and plays tough; typically the long par 4s play into the wind. There are only 2 par 5s but 5 par 3s of varying lengths. Well worth playing, particularly if you can get on with a member. It is a well-to-do club where the members are well looked after so is quite pricey with to pay a visitor green fee but well worth it.

Played through work. Decent condition given recent weather although greens had just been hollow tinned.
