Handling large images has always been a pain in my side since I started writing code. Lately, it has started to have a huge impact on page speed and SEO ranking. If your website has poorly optimized images it won't score well on Google Lighthouse. If it doesn't score well, it won't be on the first page of Google. That sucks.
I've built and open-sourced a snippet of code that automates the process of creating and deploying an image resize function and an S3 bucket with one simple command. Check out the code here.
But if you want to follow along and learn how to do it yourself, keep reading.
Where do we start?
Luckily enough, there is a way to solve the issue of bad image optimization with little to no hassle. Today we'll build an AWS Lambda function to resize images on-the-fly.
The images will be stored in an S3 bucket and, once requested, will be served from it. If you need a resized version, you'll request the image and supply the height and width. This will trigger a function. It'll grab the existing image, resize it, return it back to the bucket and then serve it from the bucket.
This scenario will only resize an image for a given set of dimensions once. Every subsequent request to the image of that size will be served from the bucket. Pretty cool huh? Here's a diagram, because who doesn't love diagrams.
Because I already assume you know how to use the Serverless Framework and have already been introduced to the basics of serverless, Docker and AWS, I'll immediately jump into the gist of things. Here's an overview of what we'll be doing.
- Create the project structure
- Create a secrets file
- Write the AWS Lambda function configuration
- Write AWS Lambda function source code
- Write S3 Bucket configuration
- Deploy with Docker
- Test with Dashbird
Note: Please install Docker and Docker Compose before continuing with this tutorial.
The funny thing here is that we need to use Docker to deploy this service because of Sharp. This image-resize module has binaries that need to be built on the same operating system as it will run on. Because AWS Lambda is running on Amazon Linux, we need to
npm install the packages on an Amazon Linux instance before running
sls deploy.
With that all out of the way let's build some stuff.
Create the project structure
The best way of explaining this complex structure will be with an image.
Folders in green and files in blue. Check out the repo for further insight.
Create a secrets file
We'll create a
secrets.env file in the secrets folder to hold our secrets and inject them into our Docker container once it spins up.
SLS_KEY=XXX # replace with your IAM User key
SLS_SECRET=YYY # replace with your IAM User secret
Note: The
deploy.sh script will create a secondary
secrets.json file only to hold the domain name of our API Gateway endpoint.
Write the AWS Lambda function configuration
Open up the functions folder, and start by creating the
package.json file. Paste this in.
"name": "image-resize",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "Serverless image resize on-the-fly.",
"main": "resize.js",
"dependencies": {
"serverless-plugin-tracing": "^2.0.0",
"sharp": "^0.18.4"
No need to run any install, because we need to run the Docker container first. Note that we're adding a tracing plugin to enable X-Ray because it's awesome.
Moving on, let's create the
serverless.yml file to configure our function.
service: image-resize-on-the-fly-functions
- serverless-plugin-tracing
name: aws
runtime: nodejs8.10
stage: ${env:STAGE, 'dev'}
profile: serverless-admin # or change to 'default'
tracing: true
region: ${env:REGION, 'us-east-1'}
BUCKET: ${env:BUCKET}
REGION: ${env:REGION}
- Effect: "Allow"
- "s3:ListBucket"
Resource: "arn:aws:s3:::${env:BUCKET}"
- Effect: "Allow"
- "s3:PutObject"
Resource: "arn:aws:s3:::${env:BUCKET}"
- Effect: "Allow"
- "xray:PutTraceSegments"
- "xray:PutTelemetryRecords"
- "*"
handler: resize.handler
- http:
path: resize
method: get
As you can see we're grabbing a bunch of values from the
env and also allowing the function to access the
BUCKET we specified and some X-Ray telemetry.
Write AWS Lambda function source code
Only the code left now. Here's what we'll do. Because images can get quite large and we don't want to risk loading several megabytes into the lambda function's memory, I'll show you how to use Node.js streams to read the image from an S3 stream, pipe it to Sharp, and then write it back to S3, once again, as a stream.
Ready? Let's do it in two steps. First, define the helper functions we need in order to create the streams, then create the handler function itself which our lambda will invoke.
// resize.js
// require modules
const stream = require('stream')
const AWS = require('aws-sdk')
const S3 = new AWS.S3({
signatureVersion: 'v4'
const sharp = require('sharp')
// create constants
const BUCKET = process.env.BUCKET
const URL = `http://${process.env.BUCKET}.s3-website.${process.env.REGION}.amazonaws.com`
// create the read stream abstraction for downloading data from S3
const readStreamFromS3 = ({ Bucket, Key }) => {
return S3.getObject({ Bucket, Key }).createReadStream()
// create the write stream abstraction for uploading data to S3
const writeStreamToS3 = ({ Bucket, Key }) => {
const pass = new stream.PassThrough()
return {
writeStream: pass,
uploadFinished: S3.upload({
Body: pass,
ContentType: 'image/png',
// sharp resize stream
const streamToSharp = ({ width, height }) => {
return sharp()
.resize(width, height)
Here we're defining constants and the constructor functions for our streams. What's important to note is that S3 doesn't have a default method for writing to storage with a stream. So you need to create one. It's doable with the
stream.PassThrough() helper. The abstraction above will write the data with a stream and resolve a promise once it's done.
Moving on, let's check out the handler. Just underneath the code above, paste this in.
exports.handler = async (event) => {
const key = event.queryStringParameters.key
// match a string like: '/1280x720/image.jpg'
const match = key.match(/(\d+)x(\d+)\/(.*)/)
// get the dimensions of the new image
const width = parseInt(match[1], 10)
const height = parseInt(match[2], 10)
const originalKey = match[3]
// create the new name of the image, note this has a '/' - S3 will create a directory
const newKey = '' + width + 'x' + height + '/' + originalKey
const imageLocation = `${URL}/${newKey}`
try {
// create the read and write streams from and to S3 and the Sharp resize stream
const readStream = readStreamFromS3({ Bucket: BUCKET, Key: originalKey })
const resizeStream = streamToSharp({ width, height })
const {
} = writeStreamToS3({ Bucket: BUCKET, Key: newKey })
// trigger the stream
// wait for the stream to finish
const uploadedData = await uploadFinished
// log data to Dashbird
console.log('Data: ', {
BucketEndpoint: URL,
ImageURL: imageLocation
// return a 301 redirect to the newly created resource in S3
return {
statusCode: '301',
headers: { 'location': imageLocation },
body: ''
} catch (err) {
return {
statusCode: '500',
body: err.message
The query string parameters will look like this
/1280x720/image.jpg. Which means we grab the image dimensions from the parameters by using a regex match. The
newKey value is set to the dimensions followed by a
/ and the original name of the image. This will create a new folder named
1280x720 with the image
image.jpg in it. Pretty cool.
Once we trigger the streams and await the promise to resolve we can log out the data and return a 301 redirect to the location of the image in the bucket. Note that we will enable static website hosting on our bucket in the next paragraph.
Write S3 Bucket configuration
The bucket configuration will mostly consist of default CloudFormation templates, so if you're a bit rusty, I'd advise you brush up a bit. But, the gist of it is simple enough to understand. Open up the bucket folder and create a
serverless.yml file.
service: image-resize-on-the-fly-bucket
secrets: ${file(../secrets/secrets.json)} # will be created in our deploy.sh script
name: aws
runtime: nodejs8.10
stage: ${env:STAGE, 'dev'}
profile: serverless-admin # or change to 'default'
region: us-east-1
BUCKET: ${env:BUCKET}
Type: AWS::S3::Bucket # creating an S3 Bucket
AccessControl: PublicReadWrite
BucketName: ${env:BUCKET}
WebsiteConfiguration: # enabling the static website option
ErrorDocument: error.html
IndexDocument: index.html
RoutingRules: # telling it to redirect for every 404 error
HostName: ${self:custom.secrets.DOMAIN} # API Gateway domain
HttpRedirectCode: "307" # temporary redirect HTTP code
Protocol: "https"
ReplaceKeyPrefixWith: "${self:provider.stage}/resize?key=" # route
HttpErrorCodeReturnedEquals: "404"
KeyPrefixEquals: ""
Type: AWS::S3::BucketPolicy # add policy for public read access
Ref: ImageResizeOnTheFly
- "s3:*"
Effect: "Allow"
- ""
- "arn:aws:s3:::"
Ref: ImageResizeOnTheFly
- "/*"
Principal: "*"
Once we enable the static website hosting option on our bucket, it will behave like any website. This lets us serve images from it and utilize the 404 error redirect rule.
If no image is found, the bucket will trigger the 404, which redirects to our lambda function. Then resize the original image to the requested dimensions, and put it back to the bucket at the exact route it was requested from.
Just like magic!
Deploy with Docker
Here comes the fun part! We'll create a
Dockerfile and
docker-compose.yml file to create our Amazon Linux container and load it with
.env values. That's easy. The hard part will be writing the bash script to run all commands and deploy our function and bucket.
Starting with the
Dockerfile, here's what you need to add.
FROM amazonlinux
# Create deploy directory
WORKDIR /deploy
# Install system dependencies
RUN yum -y install make gcc*
RUN curl --silent --location https://rpm.nodesource.com/setup_8.x | bash -
RUN yum -y install nodejs
# Install serverless
RUN npm install -g serverless
# Copy source
# Install app dependencies
RUN cd /deploy/functions && npm i --production && cd /deploy
# Run deploy script
CMD ./deploy.sh ; sleep 5m
Because Amazon Linux is rather basic, we need to install both gcc and Node.js at the get-go. Then it's as simple as any Dockerfile you've seen. Install the Serverless Framework globally, copy over the source code, install the npm modules in the functions directory and run the
deploy.sh script.
docker-compose.yml file is literally only used to load the
.env values.
version: "3"
build: .
- ./secrets:/deploy/secrets
- ./secrets/secrets.env
That's it. The Docker part is done. Let's write some bash.
Starting out simple, we'll define the initial variables, configure our serverless installation and deploy our function.
# deploy.sh
# variables
# Configure your Serverless installation to talk to your AWS account
sls config credentials \
--provider aws \
--key ${SLS_KEY} \
--secret ${SLS_SECRET} \
--profile serverless-admin
# cd into functions dir
cd /deploy/functions
# Deploy function
echo "------------------"
echo 'Deploying function...'
echo "------------------"
sls deploy
Once we have deployed it, we need to grab the domain name of our API Gateway endpoint and put it in a
secrets.json file which will be loaded into our
serverless.yml file from the bucket directory. To do this I just did some regex magic. Add this at the bottom of your
# find and replace the service endpoint
if [ -z ${stage+dev} ]; then echo "Stage is unset."; else echo "Stage is set to '$stage'."; fi
sls info -v | grep ServiceEndpoint > domain.txt
sed -i 's@ServiceEndpoint:\ https:\/\/@@g' domain.txt
sed -i "s@/$stage@@g" domain.txt
domain=$(cat domain.txt)
sed "s@.execute-api.$region.amazonaws.com@@g" domain.txt > id.txt
id=$(cat id.txt)
echo "------------------"
echo "Domain:"
echo " $domain"
echo "------------------"
echo "API ID:"
echo " $id"
rm domain.txt
rm id.txt
echo "{\"DOMAIN\":\"$domain\"}" > $secrets
Now you have a
secrets.json file in the secrets directory. All that's left is to run the bucket deployment. Paste this final snippet at the bottom of the
deploy.sh script.
cd /deploy/bucket
# Deploy bucket config
echo "------------------"
echo 'Deploying bucket...'
sls deploy
echo "------------------"
echo 'Bucket endpoint:'
echo " http://$bucket.s3-website.$region.amazonaws.com/"
echo "------------------"
echo "Service deployed. Press CTRL+C to exit."
There we have it! The coding part is done. Would you believe me we only need to run one command now? Open up a terminal window in the root of your project and run:
$ docker-compose up --build
Let it do its magic, and you'll see everything get created automagically! Please note that the terminal will show you the bucket endpoint which you'll use to access the images.
Test with Dashbird
The final step is to check if it all works. Let's upload an image to the bucket, so we have something to resize. Go ahead and find an image you like and want to resize, or just take this one.
It's rather huge and around 6 MB in size. Here's the command you want to run to upload it.
$ aws s3 cp --acl public-read IMAGE s3://BUCKET
So, if your bucket name is images and your image name is the-earth.jpg, then it should look like this if you run the command from the directory where the image is located.
$ aws s3 cp --acl public-read the-earth.jpg s3://images
Keep in mind you need to have the AWS CLI installed on your machine, or upload the image through the AWS Console.
Now, try out to request the image through the bucket. Type into your browser the S3 bucket URL.
You'll see the original image appear. But, now add dimensions to the URL.
This will trigger the resize function and create a 400x400 pixel version of the image. It'll take a few hundred milliseconds to create and once it's done, the browser will redirect you to the newly created image. When you try to refresh the URL you'll see that it's now fetching the new image, without calling the resize function.
Let's check the logs in Dashbird and make sure it all works fine under the hood.
Looks fine, but I did make some beginner mistakes when I first tried setting up the function. One of them was forgetting to require a module before using it. Luckily I immediately got an alert that explained what was wrong. Slack alerts are life-savers.
The way I fixed the issue was with the live-tailing feature. It let me check the invocation logs with a few seconds of latency so I could debug the issue. Pretty cool.
Wrapping up
To conclude this little showdev session, I'd like to point out using serverless as a helper to support your existing infrastructure is incredible. It's language agnostic and easy to use.
We at Dashbird use clusters of containers for our core features that interact heavily with our databases while offloading all the rest to lambda functions, queues, streams and other serverless services on AWS.
And, of course, here's the repo once again, give it a star if you want more people to see it on GitHub. If you follow along with the instructions there, you'll be able to have this image resize on-the-fly microservice up and running in no time at all.

I'm having a problem triggering the resize function. The 400px x 400px version doesn't yet exist in S3, calling it for the first time should trigger the resize and put the resized image in S3, however the response fails in Chrome Dev Tools when I request it inside an image tag:
However, if I go to that URL (someUrl/400x400/default.jpg) directly in Chrome, the resize function is triggered and the image is added to S3.
Is there any reason why it's failing when used inside an
img tag, and why it doesn't kick-off the resize function?
UPDATE: I'm getting an 'ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS' error. See the image below:
Tell me about the cost of running this? Got any data?
I've been running it in production for almost a year. Have never paid a cent for it.
Why? Well, you only ever need a fixed set of dimension for your image. So it's a thumbnail, an HD, and a FullHD version. You'll rarely ever see some serious traffic even if you have a decent website.
As the website evolves, in terms of design and layout, improperly resized images are in fact one of the biggest factors contributing to page bloat. And at that time, one has to make do with the closest size available. So, you should account for requiring different sizes in the future to ensure that your resizing strategy is future-proof.
Personally I've found kraken.io/ to be a perfect service for this. Easily affordable, probably less work to set up than your own homebrew solution.
I quite literally built it to be deployed with one command. How's that less work than paying for a 3rd party service?
Still works 05/19, thanks a lot really helped me quickly add a little extra layer of AWS awesomeness into a showcase i've been working on! :)
Glad to hear! This article is due for an update. It can be done with Layers now, or even with a nice Makefile setup. Hmmm, so many ideas. 😄
Anyhow, glad my article helped!
Would be interesting to see the result between the above and set up something like Thumbor and compare the overall optimisation and Google Results for that as thumbor also serves webp file output.
That would be cool indeed. Does Thumbor work with serverless?

A text from Jo came buzzing.
I saw a dead guy yesterday.
There was a car accident in the park and I happened to be driving on the Avenue (of the Giants) before the ambulance got there. It was a motorcylist. It was pretty bad. His brains were over the road.
What did you do?
I directed traffic for a few minutes until calfire got there. Then I went to a birthday party and ate blackberry pie.
She's come a long way from the girl who wouldn't mow the lawn ever again after running over a bull frog. She is traveling deep into her own life and I wish I could see her face, although I don't know what I'd say.

Dr E. Joy Bowles is an author, educator and researcher, best known for her contribution to the understanding of essential oil chemistry in the aromatherapy community. After completing her Bachelor of Science degree majoring in Organic Chemistry and Cell Biology, she developed the first course in essential oil chemistry in Australia in 1991. The third edition of her book "The Chemistry of Aromatherapeutic Oils" (Allen & Unwin, 2003) is still used as a text in many aromatherapy courses around the world.
In 2007 she gained her PhD on the effect of essential oils on cognitive function in dementia. After motherhood and working in chronic disease management, Joy has returned to share her chemistry and pharmacology understanding with a new generation of essential oil enthusiasts, aromatherapists and health practitioners.
In 2016 she attended the Botanica conference in England, and was invited to present in the Asia-Pacific Aromatherapy College's World Expert series in Hong Kong. In 2017 she presented two webinars for the Australian Naturopathic Practitioners Association, developed a 10-week webinar series titled "How Essential Oils Work on the Body", and a one-day "Inside Aromatherapy" workshop. In 2018 she collaborated with the Tisserand Institute to create the Foundational Chemistry webinar series, and presented a 2 day "Joy of Chemistry" workshop 20-21 October in Longmont, Colorado, as well as several other offerings of the "Inside Aromatherapy" workshop, and a 21-hour webinar series titled "Refreshing Chemistry". Dr Bowles was the key-note speaker at the annual NAHA conference in Salt Lake City, Utah (23-28 October 2018), and her talk on the psychological effects of essential oils included insights on dementia gained from her PhD, and current research on the neurobiology of olfaction.Research-wise, in 2017-18 Joy collaborated with Peta Day (Paperbark Oils), and Monica Witsch (naturopath and aromatherapist) on the Fragonia Collaboration. This is a practitioner-led group on Facebook collecting case-study information on the therapeutic uses of Fragonia oil (Agonis fragrans). She is also collaborating with Dr Tamara Agnew and Dr Jessie Hawkins and Christy Hires from the Franklin Institute of Wellness to investigate various aspects of the practice of aromatherapy and the use of essential oils.
I'm looking forward to hearing feed-back and comments as you share how the Aromatherapy Journal Club helps you in your practice.

Cheesy spaghetti squash
Say what? I'm making and posting a winter squash recipe in April?! Well, yes, yes I am.... We still have a few lingering in basement storage that we are finishing up before it becomes summer squash season. So while it may be a little out-of-season right now, just save this spaghetti squash recipe for this coming fall/winter. It's one you will definitely want to give a try! It's cheesy, with hints of onion and garlic flavor. It's like a mac n' cheese, but with spaghetti squash instead of noodles.
We ate this as a side dish to a grilled ham steak with a honey-mustard sauce. Speaking of grilling, I am super excited that the warmer weather is coming and also that when we moved into our new house that the previous owners left us their grill! We've already been using it and loving it. I made this recipe with a smaller spaghetti squash and it would make a side dish for about 3-4 people.
Cheesy spaghetti squash
1 small spaghetti squash
1-1/2 cups milk (I used 2%)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
dash of cayenne pepper
2 cups grated sharp white cheddar cheese, divided
1 tablespoon minced chives, plus more for garnish
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Halve the spaghetti squash length-wise and remove the seeds. Place cut side up in a baking dish and bake until fork-tender, about 45-60 minutes. Let cool until you can hold the squash.
When the squash is almost finished, start the cheese sauce. In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk and flour. Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne. Heat over medium heat, continuing to whisk until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the chives and slowly whisk in 1-1/2 cups of cheddar.
Use a fork to pull out the spaghetti squash strands and separate them into a large bowl. You want about 3 cups of squash, lightly packed. Be careful to not poke through the skin. Stir the cheese sauce. Scoop the mixture back into the spaghetti squash skins (in the baking dish) and divide the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese on top.
Bake for 15 minutes and then broil until the top is golden and bubbly. Garnish with extra chives.
What was I cooking one year ago?: smoked white fish chowder
Two years ago?: Southwest black bean & quinoa patties with avocado sour cream
Three years ago?: Pad (Pat) Thai
Four?: coconut chocolate chip banana bread
Five?: spaghetti w/ fennel, arugula, artichokes, & olives
6?: egg tart w/ ramps & wild mushrooms

Wow Amy, this looks so good...I love spaghetti squash...and the idea of cheesy is just fantastic!ReplyDelete
Have a great week :)
All this cheese heaven cannot possibly left me uninterested! What a delicious treat!ReplyDelete
I'm feeling quite guilty about the spaghetti squash sitting in my garage right now in the wood bin. My mom tossed me 4 of them a month ago and I only managed to use one. So spaghetti squash slacker right here. And I know she's going to ask if I use them so I better get a move on. Think I'll get myself some Yancy's Fancy today and really splurge on this one =)ReplyDelete
We mainly eat spaghetti squash in the fall and winter, but it's readily available throughout the year. No excuse not to have it for Memorial Day! Anyway, this looks terrific -- thanks.ReplyDelete
Love spaghetti squash and love cheese so together the two must be great! Congrats on the new house and grill!ReplyDelete
It looks delicious! Thank you so much for sharing.ReplyDelete
Oh wow! I love anything cheesy!! This looks superb!ReplyDelete
It looks so DELICIOUS! I would make this one immediately if I could find one now!ReplyDelete
I've never been very successful with spaghetti squash, but after seeing this and going through the recipe, I think I need to give it another try. What cheesy goodness!!!ReplyDelete
This looks so good, great idea for using the spaghetti squash!ReplyDelete

Savithri movie audio has gone in the past few hours where everyone is excited about the audio. The trailer too was out and it was seen some
sort of interesting. Director Pawan sadhineni known for his earlier movie Prema Ishq Kadal is currently grabbing off some interesting theme for Savithri. Savithri title itself is so attaractive and if you remember Ram gopal varma used this title for his adult movie earlier. Producer managed this for himself and Nara rohith finally got the title. Nanditha is playing the character of Savtihri and Rohith will be seen in the character of Soumithri.
Inspite of its time & tested formula, 'Savitri' hits the right chord with viewers. The dialouges penned by Krishna chaitanya were soo good . Posani utters 'Chandrababu garu ni Balakrishna garu kuda inni sarlu bava-bava ani pilavaledura' from the trailer and it is getting huge applaud all the way. Nara rohith is seen some spicy way for this movie and Nanditha is looking so cute as usual.

"Deconstruct THE WARLOCKS' sound, and you'll find that it's not at all what you'd expect, given their instrumentation and image. With no less than four guitarists up front, you might expect either super-heavy rock or perhaps the churning Southern fervor of the OUTLAWS. Add two drummers, and you'd almost certainly expect such a din to emerge that you might just contemplate checking out their set outside the club. In truth, THE WARLOCKS' skinsmen provide a throbbing, gentle pulse over which guitars are layered to mesmerizing effect. Seven people may be playing at once, but WARLOCKS is actually kind of trance-inducing, achieving a heavy sound without resorting to mere high-volumed clatter." - CMJ

A last eight place in the Cadet Girls' Singles event was to be anticipated; the no.4 seed, she accounted for the host nation's Manel Baklouti, the no.5 seed (11-8, 12-10, 6-11, 11-6) to reserve her quarter-final berth.
However, the same outcome in the counterpart Junior Girls' Singles event was not to be anticipated; the no.10 seed, in the opening round she caused an upset of note by beating Algeria's Hiba Feredj, the no.6 seed (5-11, 11-9, 11-4, 11-9, 11-5). A place in round two booked, a familiar face awaited in her quarter-final quest, colleague Evelyn Vivarelli was the adversary, a five games win was the verdict (11-7, 11-4, 11-7, 7-11, 11-6).
Podium places a distinct possibility; in the Junior Girls' Doubles event, for Elisa Armani a minimum bronze medal is guaranteed. Partnering colleague Jamila Laurenti, a semi-final place was reserved courtesy of success in opposition to Egypt's Razan Fawzi and India's Manushree Patil (11-6, 8-11, 11-13, 11-6, 11-4).
The duo now meets the host nation's Fadwa Garci and Abir Haj Salah; in the opposite half of the draw, Romania's Adina Diaconu and Andreea Dragoman confront India's Selena Selvakumar.
Success in the Junior Girls' Doubles event for the Romanians; it was the same in the Junior Girls' Singles competition where semi-final places were claimed in style at Indian expense.
Adina Diaconu, the top seed, beat Selena Selvakumar, the no.5 seed (11-7, 11-3, 11-7, 11-5); Andreea Dragoman, the no.2 seed, overcame Kushi Vishwanath (11-5, 11-2, 11-4, 11-2).
At the semi-final stage Andreea Dragoman meets Elisa Armanini; Adina Diaconu opposes Lisa Lung, the no.3 seed, the 17 year old Belgian having accounted for Jamila Laurenti, the no.4 seed (11-4, 11-4, 11-4, 11-6) to keep her medal hopes alive. The reason for the earlier than predicted clash between the third and fourth seeds being the fact that in the group stage, Jamila Laurenti had finished in second place in her group behind Tunisia's Manel Baklouti.
Alas for Manel Baklouti, she was not able to maintain the form in the main draw; the no.11 seed, she was beaten by Evelyn Vivarelli (7-11, 14-12, 8-11, 11-8, 11-9, 11-4).
Success for the top three seeds in the Junior Girls' Singles event; in the Cadet Girls' Singles competition, the top four advanced the penultimate round.
Additional to Elisa Armanini; at the quarter-final stage, Jamila Laurenti, the top seed, beat Tunisia's Samar Hichi (11-5,11-6, 11-3); Egypt's Farida Badawy, the no.3 seed, overcame Evelyn Vivarelli (9-11, 11-6, 11-9, 11-3). Meanwhile, in an all host nation affair, Fadwa Garci, the no.2 seed, ended the hopes of Islam Wenaiss, the no.6 seed (11-8, 11-6, 10-12, 8-11, 11-7).
At the semi-final stage Jamila Laurenti meets Farida Badawy, Fadwa Garci opposes Elisa Armanini.
Play concludes on Friday 7th April.

8. If any person is prevented from travelling, we will agree to that person's booking being transferred to another person who satisfies all the conditions applicable to the tour, subject to both persons accepting joint and several liability for full payment of the holiday price and our charge for confirming the transfer and any additional costs arising from the transfer. We must be given reasonable notice of the transfer request, which is considered to be at least 14 days prior to the departure date.
9. To take part in our tours you must have adequate insurance cover for baggage, equipment, medical expenses and the cost of repatriation should you become too ill to continue with your tour.
10. There is insurance designed for the type of holidays we offer and we recommend you purchase insurance with this type of cover. Any claims concerning matters for which you are insured must be directed to your insurers.

All prices include VAT at the appropriate rate. After the contract is made between us we have the right to increase the price of the tour where the cost to us of providing you with it increases:
11.1 due to any change in VAT or any other duties, surcharges or fees levied on your tour;
11.2 as a result of a rise in transportation costs; or
11.3 as a result of exchange rate fluctuations. Any such fluctuations will be calculated in comparison to a base rate of £1 = US$1.21, £1 = Euro 1.10, obtained at December 2017.

13.2 the potential for (amongst other things) delays, alterations, loss or damage to property, inconvenience and discomfort.
14. You should satisfy yourself before booking that you have researched your destination, made an informed decision to travel, and taken all necessary precautions.
15. There is a natural need to be flexible in a holiday of this kind. The day-to-day agenda and ultimate aim of the holiday is taken as an objective and not as a contractual obligation. It is a fundamental condition of booking that you accept this flexibility, and acknowledge that delays and alterations and their subsequent results, such as inconvenience, discomfort, or disappointment, are possible.
16. If after departure we are unable to provide a significant proportion of the services we had agreed to aim to provide as part of our contract with you, we will act reasonably to make suitable alternative arrangements.
17. On any of our tours it is necessary that you abide by the authority of the leader, who represents the Company, and whose decision is final. Completing our booking form signifies your agreement to this, and if you commit any illegal act when on the tour or if in the reasonable opinion of the leader your behaviour is causing or likely to cause danger, distress or annoyance to others we may terminate your arrangements without any liability on our part.
18. We cannot guarantee the composition of the group in terms of age, nationality, gender, singles and couples.
19. Please note that flights and other products you purchase separately do not form part of your tour with us.
20. Travel arrangements to meet or on leaving any tour are your responsibility. Any guidance we may provide is simply that and must be checked by you.
21. Our responsibility does not commence until the appointed time at the designated meeting point. If you fail to arrive there at the appointed time for whatever reason, we will not be responsible for any additional expenses incurred by you to meet up with the group.
22. Any information given by the Company in regard to climate, clothing, special equipment, topography etc is done so in good faith and must be rechecked by you prior to relying on it.
23. No refund or compensation will be made or given for any unused accommodation, services or features of the holiday where unused at your discretion or as a result of your action/inaction.
Medical and special requirements
24. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are sufficiently fit and healthy to complete your chosen tour. We reserve the right to require you to produce a doctor's certificate of fitness to participate in your chosen holiday. If you are affected by any condition, medical or otherwise, that might affect your or other people's enjoyment of the holiday, you must advise us before booking. If you do not do so, we may cancel your tour at any time.
25. Medical vaccinations and other preliminary arrangements including passport, travellers cheques, visa procurement are your responsibility.
26. We welcome people with restricted mobility, medical or particular care requirements or a disability, and aim to ensure that our services are as accessible as reasonably possible to all. However, in order that we may consider the possibility of making reasonable adjustments, it is important that we are fully informed of any needs, requirements and conditions before any booking is concluded. Please telephone us and we will be happy to discuss availability, suitability and potential reasonable adjustments with you, including any requirement for you or a member of your party to be accompanied by someone who is able to provide for any particular needs you or they may have, over and above any reasonable adjustments we are able to make.
27. If you have special requirements a risk assessment might be required prior to confirming a booking or allowing participation in certain activities. Please note that we rely on the information you provide to help us anticipate and satisfy your needs. We therefore require you to give us a full and frank description of your needs. You must update us with any change in your circumstances prior to and during your stay. Our guides can only provide general first aid. As such it may be necessary for you or a member of your party to be able to administer or attend to your/their own medical needs or have someone accompany you/them who can do so.
28. You should inform us immediately if, within 4 weeks prior to your arrival date or during your break, any member of your party has, or develops, an infectious or contagious medical condition. If so, we have the right to:
28.1 refuse to accept your booking;
28.2 cancel your tour; or
28.3 ask any member of your party to leave immediately, should we, at our reasonable discretion, consider it necessary to protect the health of others.
29. Your behaviour should not be excessive, noisy or disruptive, especially at night. Offensive or illegal behaviour will not be tolerated and may result in the police being involved. We do not consider offensive or aggressive behaviour or language towards our staff to be acceptable. We may ask you and/or any member of your party to leave immediately if your conduct is considered by us to be inappropriate, likely to cause harm, or impair the enjoyment, comfort or safety of your neighbours, other members of your group, staff and the general public, or is likely, in our belief, to breach any terms of our agreement with you. No refunds or compensation will be given in these circumstances and we reserve the right not to accept any future bookings from you or any member of your party.
Our liability to you
30. Nothing in these terms seeks to limit or exclude our liability if something we do or fail to do causes death or personal injury through our negligence or if we cause damage to your property and that cause is our fault. We are also not seeking to exclude or limit our responsibility for loss caused by the services not matching our description of them or our negligent performance of the services.
31. Other than this liability which we have accepted, we will not be liable for any losses that you suffer as a result of any breach of our agreement except those losses which are reasonably foreseeable to both of us at the time we enter into the contract with you.
32. We shall not be held liable for any damages caused by the total, or partial failure to provide your holiday if such failure is:
32.1 attributable to you; or
32.2 unforeseeable or unavoidable and attributable to a third party unconnected with us or any of our sub-contractors; or
32.3 as a result of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control including but not limited to strikes, war, civil or political unrest or government action; or
32.4 due to the theft of bicycles or injury as a result of cycling either on or off road and in particular injuries as a result of either inadequately maintained and serviced personal equipment or failure to wear the correct safety equipment most notably cycle helmets, unless demonstrably due to our negligence.
33. In addition, since the services are provided to you as a consumer, we cannot accept responsibility for any losses related to any business of yours such as lost data, lost profits, loss of business, loss of contracts, loss of goodwill or other business loss that you may incur as a result of any breach of our agreement.
34. We will also not be liable for direct damage or loss of any nature caused, or contributed to, by any defect in or failure (whether partial or complete) of any travel services not provided by us, and which we could not reasonably be expected to be responsible for.
35. Except for those areas for which we do not seek to exclude liability, our total liability to you is limited to twice the basic tour price per person shown on the invoice.
36. Any complaints regarding the tour should be made to the tour leader and/ or local representative who will normally take the appropriate action. If at the end of the tour, you feel that your complaint was not dealt with properly and were not satisfied with the response, you must notify us of your complaint in writing within 28 days of the actual completion date of the tour. We will try to agree a settlement with you.
37. Please note that all information given about our tours, whether on our website or otherwise, is intended merely to present a general idea of the tours. Information is correct to the best of our knowledge. You will be provided with an itinerary for your tour giving details such as, the type of accommodation used, what is included in the price, and health formalities. Changes in all of these items may be made at any time and we will notify you of any changes that we become aware of as soon as we are reasonably able to do so. In all cases the tour information should be considered as more up to date than the brochure.
Safety and Security
38. Your personal belongings are your own responsibility during your holiday with us. The police have notified us that personal cycles are particularly vulnerable to theft.
39. Activities which take place out of doors are provided subject to appropriate weather conditions prevailing at the time the activity is to take place.
40. You must ensure that any activity or facility selected by you or any members of your party is suitable for those who are taking part.
41. You are required to follow any safety advice provided to you including wearing a cycle helmet when cycling.
Points to consider before booking
42. You may not bring with you or use any shotgun, knife, firearm, air weapon, archery equipment, fireworks (including sparklers), illegal substances or similar item under any circumstances.
43. Should you wish to use one of our holidays as a gift, prize, part of a reward programme or other promotion you must contact us before making the booking.

Let's say the least you expect of art is that it shows signs of a coherent designing intelligence, and the least you expect of entertainment is that it doesn't make you wish you were looking at something else. Now let's move on to Choke, which is neither, adapted from a Chuck Palahniuk novel by actor Clark Gregg.
There are scenes that seem like vestigial leftovers of some worthless subplot that wasn't fully chopped in to one of the no-doubt-numerous recuts (some inanity involving building a stone monument in an empty lot). There's Anjelica Huston unconvincingly made up in both dotage and middle age (only slightly less weird than the "young Estelle Getty" flashbacks in Golden Girls). And did I mention a running anal bead gag? My stars, somebody phone the Catholic League of Decency!
Spent, pigeon-chested Victor (Sam Rockwell) and hulking Denny (Brad William Henke) are a Mutt & Jeff duo of meeting-attending sex-addicts. Victor's the spokesman of the two, our narrator—where Denny's merely a big kid without the self control to keep his zipper up, Victor is a self-conscious shit, possessed of an invincible carapace of blithe moral indifference. Their misadventures were clearly imagined as black comedy of the "laughs get stuck in your throat" variety, but the self-satisfaction betrayed at every transgression undermines the entire thing—you might hear the naughty giggles coming from behind the camera if the plucky "mischievous" music wasn't so prominent in the mix (it will astonish no one that Gregg has a lengthy resume in television comedy).

There has been some talk about the heavy snowfalls the North-East Coast of the USA is going to experience this weekend but by the time we wake up on Saturday morning the warnings have been upgraded to BLIZZARD and the storm is now predicted to hit New York at about the time our 330pm American Airlines flight leaves for San Francisco. Yikes!
We frantically get on the phone to see if we can get an earlier flight out. No luck.Thousands of holiday travellers have beaten us to it and all the early flights have gone. At this stage our flight is still leaving on time -remarkably.
We're just going to have to sit it out at the airport and pray we can take off from JFK on time
We get nervous when they cancel the 6pm flight to San Francisco which is just after ours. Don't like the idea of spending the night marooned at the airport.
Miraculously at 430pm we push away from the gate after our plane is 'de-iced'.
We arrive in San Francisco 6 hours later to the news that the blizzard hit hard closing several airports in Washington, New York and Baltimore. Over 1500 flights had to be cancelled stranding tens of thousands of holidaymakers. Our flight was one of the last to get out.
I put it down to the Irish luck of Mark FitzGerald!
Fingers crossed our Qantas flight to Sydney from San Francisco late tonight is not affected by the backlog of cancelled flights and we get home in time for Christmas.

With Mark Ronson's hit single "Uptown Funk," Kendrick Lamar's new album "To Pimp A Butterfly," and now Snoop Dogg's new album "Bush," it seems like funk is making a comeback. There are all sorts of big names featured on this album, ranging from Pharrell Williams to Stevie Wonder, T.I., Rick Ross, and even Gwen Stefani. My expectations were simple, I expected that with the name Snoop Dogg making a return, we would see some of that old school west coast rap that … [Read more...] about Snoop Dogg Album Review "Bush"

Tulips Journey North
Tulips Journey North is an outreach program for 3rd grade public schools in the State of Utah. Our staff will come to your classroom and present a 60-minute program of hands-on activities centered on understanding life cycles, seasonal change and an investigation of climate change. We will be presenting this program in a format designed to support your classroom with the new SEEd standards using inquiry-based learning.
The Tulips Journey North Program tracks the arrival of spring by observing growth of student tulips and comparing the student's own results with students across North America.
All outreach students will have the opportunity to engage in the scientific process - observing, asking questions, recording, developing models, collecting data about tulip growth and sharing the results of their data collection. If you choose, an additional add-on citizen scientist program activity is included where students will plant tulip bulbs in their school garden. For more information about the citizen science portion of this program, visit the Tulips Journey North website at journeynorth.org/tulips
Thanks to sponsorship from the Utah State Office of Education's informal Science Education Enhancement (iSEE), Tulips Journey North is FREE to every public 3rd grade classroom in Utah! While time and travel will not allow Thanksgiving Point to visit every school each year, teachers can expect in-person visits from us every three years. To find your visit year, click HERE.
