mbag!!!!!!!!
It all worked out in the end. I did get first go on Galtova.
Nope, I have to avert my eyes when I'm in Julius's presence.
If she gives birth to a delightful punner at the end of February I'll have my suspicions as to who the father is.
Well at least you have two fewer culprits to vet. Michaels is a bummer and Tina is a eunuch.
And she's beneath Jeff, no pun intended.
Morning shah, and whoever else may join us today.
A Bee must visit 4000 flowers in order to make one tablespoon of honey.
Made my comeback at the weekend. Brisk 20 batting down the order.  Then watched football at a pub that is usually quite pleasant. Absolute animals there. Was shocked at having to listen all 11 verses of 10 German bombers in the air sung by over 90% of people in attendance.
Watched the football at a friend's house but made the mistake of allowing Galtova and a friend of hers to come on account of Russia being involved. Spent the first twenty minutes talking about how players communicate with the refs given all the nationalities and the rest of the game talking about the quality of wine from The Asda and the possible consewuences of the referendum.
Do they have the Asda in London?
Apparently. I was quite mortified to discover this.
Apparently a bottle of red from the asda won some international wine award over the weekend.
The discussion centred around Asda's wines being as good as if not better than those of the more upmarket supermarkets.
Morning all, I can safely say that any conversations regarding the quality of wine, be they from the ASDA or anywhere else, will go completely over the head of Mrs667 based on the facts that...
B/ She's usually passed out after glugging whatever cr*p she usually buys so yes, the conversation would literally go over her head.
Also, had to suffer a 50th party in Denton at the weekend (which you may or may not know is a f*cking sh!thole). My son is toilet training (apt really) so in between conversations with people I don't know or wish to meet again and not being able to watch the football DESPITE BEING IN A WORKING MEN'S CLUB WHICH HAD A F*CKING MASSIVE TV IN I LATER DISCOVERED, I took my youngest to the gents and completely forgetting it was in my shirt pocket, dropped my phone in the (thankfully free of pee and poo) toilet.
It doesn't appear to have suffered any ill effects but every time I make a phone call, I'm aware of where my phone has been BUT I CAN'T WASH IT and disinfectant wipes don't seem sufficient somehow.
What's a bee doing with a f*cking tablespoon?
Best white wine I have had in years. Usually love a Cav Sauv from Malborough but this is truly an excellent Chardonnay from California. About £8 a bottle mind.
Who is this Alan, why does he keep posting and why haven't the Mods banned him yet?
Do you have it before or after your appletini?
Think that alone was worth the c*nting, Tina....still excellent work though!
Alan also referred to "Asda" and not "the Asda".
I'm not even sure what the c*nt means by 'Cav Sauv'? Does he mean Cabernet Sauvignon as surely that would be 'Cab Sauv' or does he mean Sauvignon Blanc as that would be 'Sauv Blanc'?
Either way, this bloke is a c*nt.
You all know how to cheer someone up.

I didn't call you a "c*nt" Andrew.
Please can I be a mod?
Despite your attempt to provoke me I'm still not going to call you a "c*nt", Ada.
Eeee, there's some humourless c*nts about....usually in the ASDA buying cheap, sh!tty wine and trying to impress the bored middle-aged woman at the checkout with their superior "knowledge" on the subject whilst simultaneously w*nking off the small dog they snuck into the shop with them!
All the while his wife is receiving a length from dolphin who sings "she's forever blowing bubbles" while bumming her.
What wife? C*nts like that are definitely single but believe they are f*nny magnets due to their unshakable belief that women are attracted to them because they "know a decent red when they see/taste one"
The blow up doll Dave. Do you think Dolphin the whimpering wendyball west hameroonian could actually get a real live woman let alone one that is married to a man with a collection of glass sex toys.
Oh yeah, got so caught up in the c*ntishness of the wine c*ntoisseur that I forgot which c*nt I was going on about....they're probably both c*nts, but one c*nt drink cheap wine and the other c*nt, well, probably spends his days slurping pints of tramp jizz but secretly wishes it was Dimitri Payet's.
Why am I still not a mod?
Is that what you say whilst staring into your pint of tramp's c*m?
Does Children’s Physical Literacy Mediate the Relationship Between Age and Sedentary Behaviour?
Sedentary behaviour (SB), refers to any waking behaviour that requires little to no energy expenditure. As children age, SBs are shown to increase, which can be linked to negative health outcomes (i.e. obesity). Although correlates of SB have been identified, the impact of physical literacy (PL) on children’s SB has not been established. PL is defined as having the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for physical activity for life. The present study aimed to test the novel idea that children’s PL mediates the relationship between age and SB, using data from the Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy, (which measured PL in 8-12 year olds). Significant mediation was found (b= -.0092, 95% CI [-.0145, -.0045]). The results of this study suggest that further exploration of the relationship between PL and SB, is needed to help reverse the age-related increase of sedentary time in children.

There are many attractions nearby.As I mentioned in my last post, I wrote Extract, Transform, Load (ETLs) from scratch. In this post I will elaborate on how I went about doing that, the design choices I made, and the modularity I incorporated.
What are ETLs?
ETLs, in short, “extract” data from one source in a certain format, “transform” it as necessary, and “load” it into a destination in a different format.
You could go about manipulating your data in multiple different ways. Before using ETLs I did it in a pretty procedural way. I had multi-hundred-line Rake tasks with a lot of duplication between them. They were a pain to maintain, hard to understand, and prone to bugs because variables were defined at the top and used throughout the task.
As a step up from that, I switched to using importers, readers, and writers. It was like ETLs but without the transform step. It’s amazing how much more organized the code is with that extra step.
The design is heavily influenced by the Kiba gem. I chose to not use the gem because it’s both inflexible and too complicated for my needs. It’s inflexible because the preprocessor is limited. It’s too complicated because it requires using a DSL to define ETLs which seemed unnecessary.
Instead, I chose to write my own and used Kiba as an inspiration. The essence of the ETL is this: Sources have an each method that iterates over the source and yields. In the block it passes the row from the source to the transform’s process method and then calls the destination’s write method passing it the transformed row.
Since the motivation behind moving away from procedural rake tasks is to reduce duplication, implementing ETLs this way provided me with the modularity I needed. Once I’ve written a source, a transform, or a destination, it could be used by any ETL.
I have tasks that bootstrap data from certain websites. The logic is fairly similar between them but they have slight differences such as the name and format of the CSV file. The best solution I could come up with for that is to design the ETL classes to receive parameters for all the things that could be different. To use the ETLs, I wrote website-specific ETL classes that use the actual ETL classes and encapsulate the website-specific parameters.
ETLs are a great solution for a specific category of problems. Had I known about it sooner it would have saved me quite a bit of development time. I discovered it because it was being discussed at work. Maybe a little more research would have lead me to discover them sooner?
More generally, this project was the perfect demonstration for me for why Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is superior to procedural programming for anything more than a script.
