![]() The driver wanted to charge me a cash payment for the other two tickets! I refused to pay again, and offered to show him the order email proving I had paid for 5 tickets. The electronic scanning system on the bus only accepted three out of our five electronic tickets, which were all on my phone. “Hotel Hoppa- Unacceptable, and aggressively rude service.…Ī group of us used Hotel Hoppa transport between Heathrow Terminal 5 and Terminal 5 Hilton Hotel, in early June 2022. Hoppa bus may offer a cheap option but personally I will NEVER use Hoppa bus again as it is not worth the stress for such an unreliable service! They still have £12 of my money for a service they did not provide me with. They also appear to be unpredictable when they are running as the bus I just missed was already running late! Since when was that late? Especially in London?! It never occurred to me they would only run once an hour or that they would stop so early at night. When I later looked on the Hopper Bus website (which there is no link to on Holiday Extras) I found out that the reason I was waiting so long at the hotel for a bus is that they only actually run once an hour, and that incredibly, between 12.40 and.2.40 there are no buses at all! It seem absurd to me that that a bus service to one of the world’s busiest airports leaves a two hour gap at such a peak time for passengers! It also amazes me that Hoppa Bus claim on their website they have over 900 services a day and run from early till late and yet you can wait two hours for a bus and they top at 10.30pm. ![]() So, despite having already paid the £6 as part of my package deal I, and the others, found ourselves forking out to get a taxi, which for me was another £22! We waited for a few minutes and one person looked at the timetable only to announce to us all that the last Hoppa bus from Terminal 5 left at 10.30pm! We were not happy! Many, including myself saying that 10.30 pm is NOT late enough. I, and several others at the same time made our way to the correct bus stop. We arrived on time but it still took approximately an hour to get out of the airport. One week later, I flew back from Italy on an evening flight landing at Heathrow at 10.20pm. I eventually arrived at Heathrow with only 2 ¼ hours to spare and due to the appalling wait at passport control and security due to staff shortages only made my flight check in by 10 minutes! Panicking now that I would not arrive at Heathrow the recommended 3 hours before my flight I went back into the hotel reception and ordered a taxi at a cost of £22 which I waited another 10 minutes for, with still no sign of any Hoppa bus. After 30 minutes there was still no bus so I went back into reception to ask and got told the buses were quite often late so waited another 10 minutes but still no bus. ![]() ![]() I was told not to worry, that bus was late but another was due in about 20 minutes so I waited, and waited. When I arrived at my hotel with over 3 1/2 hours to spare before my short haul flight to Brindisi Italy and after a two hour plus drive there was a rather long queue outside the hotel for the bus which unfortunately had come and gone whilst I had checked in my car. “I booked this service as part of my hotel and parking package through Holiday Extras paying £6 a day. ![]()

![]() The very first comment ever on Wonderopolis was written by a Wonder Friend named Carol. The very first Wonder of the Day® (we call that one "the Wonder that started it all!") was Wonder #1 - Why Are Flamingos Pink? Here is a link that will take you right to it. WOW, Taylor and Molly! Those are some AMAZING Wonders! We can't answer all of them (we both need to do a bit more WONDERing about the sticky note questions), but we'll try to answer some of the ones that focus on Wonderopolis!
![]() ![]() You can see if somebody who’s dead experiences a miraculous resurrection two days later because you forgot you killed him. You can see if it would be impossible to get from point A to point B in the given time. WriteItNow generates charts, and you can see if you have one person in two places at the same time. Spent an extra couple of seconds guesstimating the times that each event started and ended (there are little click-it clocks and calendars in events to make this whole process a no brainer.)Īnd then I checked the charts. Connected characters to the events in which they particpated. I added relationship links to my characters, added birth and death dates, created a timeline by adding the first event in the book and giving it a date, and then creating an event for the ending and giving it a date. I linked my culture notes to character names, linked ideas to events, linked locations to chapters. And THEN you can move them around to your heart’s content, until they land in an order that works for you. You can dump a bunch of ideas for events into the program by title only (just click in the body of the text and your title is added), brainstorming things you think you want to put into the story. So you can sort characters alphabetically or by their importance in the story (what I do), sort locations by when they show up in the story, how important they are, or by name, sort ideas and notes any old way you please. This works with my notecarding process.Įvery category is sortable by alpha, reverse alpha, or clicking on an event, location, or whatever and pushing up and down arrows to move it around.This gave me a nicely organized (typed) notebook that is also a perfect backup for the rest of the MOON AND SUN series (HARDCOPY BACKUPS WILL SAVE YOUR WRITING), since now all the information I need is also right in the writing program. ![]() Ditto Culture stuff-most of that went into Ideas. ![]() Then-HA!-I exported my notes (Export/Text…check all backgrounding boxes, then go to note you want, export) into beautifully formatted printed pages that went into my RUBY KEY notebook. I went through my Character Clinic questions and developed each character in the Characters section of program. This program is a perfect adjunct to the Create A Character Clinic and the Create A Culture Clinic.Now I look left, and the names and terms I need are right there. Found my character and place names in the manuscript the same way, and added them to Characters and Locations respectively. With WriteItNow, I added every Osji vocabulary word and special worldbuilding term to notes (I found them by doing a spellcheck of the already-written chapters I imported-the whole process took just a few minutes). I’ve always dealt with it by keeping my maps pinned to a nearby wall or board (place names), covering my computer with sticky notes (character names, ideas, world details), and keeping my language vocabulary sheets on the desk while I’m writing (vocabulary). Part of this is that I do books with lots of characters and detailed worldbuilding, part of it is a short-term memory issue, and I’ve been dealing with both parts of this equation for my entire writing career. I do not remember the majority of my character names, place names, or language and worldbuilding names when I’m writing a book. Everything you need, you can see in the left-hand column.The tool is WriteItNow, the platform is either Windows or Mac OS X (including Intel versions–it works just fine on mine), the price is $37.55 US, and let me tell you why it’s cool.

Talk about your return from a business trip in terms of " sleeps." Instead of saying, " I’ll be home in 3 days," say, " I’ll be home after 3 sleeps." "I’ll be back after nap time and before afternoon snack." Define time they can understand. If you know you’ll be back by 3:00 pm, tell it to your child on their terms for example, say, When you discuss your return, provide specifics that your child understands. When I left the second time (and subsequent days) it was near nuclear.īe specific, child style. I was missing him, and although the return was well intended, I not only extended the separation anxiety, we started all over again in the process. The biggest mistake I ever made in this regard was returning to class to "visit" my son about an hour after a terrible transition. You’ll build trust and independence as your child becomes confident in her ability to be without you when you stick to your promise of return. Then say good-bye quickly despite their antics or cries for you to stay. A routine can diminish the heartache and will allow your child to simultaneously build trust in her independence and in you.Īttention: When separating, give your child full attention, be loving, and provide affection. Try to do the same drop-off with the same ritual at the same time each day you separate to avoid unexpected factors whenever you can. If you linger, the transition time does too. Even if you have to do major-league- baseball–style hand movements, give triple kisses at the cubby, or provide a special blanket or toy as you leave, keep the good-bye short and sweet.

It doesn’t mean they aren’t stressed, but they certainly are vying for a change. Preschoolers: By the time children are 3 years of age, most clearly understand the effect their anxiety or pleas at separation have on us. Their behaviors at separations will be loud, tearful, and difficult to stop. Separations are more difficult when children are hungry, tired, or sick-which is most of toddlerhood! As children develop independence during toddlerhood, they may become even more aware of separations. Toddlers: Many toddlers skip separation anxiety in infancy and start demonstrating challenges at 15 or 18 months of age. Keep transitions short and routine if it’s a tough day. The leave- taking can be worse if your infant is hungry, tired, or not feeling well. Although some babies display object permanence and separation anxiety as early as 4 to 5 months of age, most develop more robust separation anxiety at around 9 months. Once your infant realizes you’re really gone (when you are), it may leave them unsettled. ![]() ![]() Infants: Separation anxiety develops after a child gains an understanding of object permanence. (I’ve made about every mistake): Facts about separation anxiety Here are facts about separation anxiety and tips to improve the transitions I’ve learned the hard way Although it is an entirely normal behavior and a beautiful sign of a meaningful attachment, separation anxiety can be exquisitely unsettling for us all. Working parent, separation anxiety creates questions for me. Even though we are often reminded that our children stop crying within minutes of our leave-taking, how many of you have felt like you’re "doing it all wrong" when your child clings to your legs, sobs for you to stay, and mourns the parting? I would suggest we parents suffer as much as our children do when we Preparation, brisk transitions, and the evolution of time.

Henry passed the Act of Supremacy, which declared that he was the head of the church. Although this would have been unthinkable even 15 years earlier, England’s separation from the Catholic Church occurred during the Protestant Reformation, a period in history during which many people become dissatisfied with the Church and created their own, new branches. The Catholic Church would not allow him to divorce Catherine, so Henry decided to separate England from the Catholic Church and install himself, instead of the Pope, as the head of the church. Henry wanted a male heir, and by the mid-1520s was carrying on an affair with Anne Boleyn, who promised that if he married her she would give birth to a boy. Unfortunately, although Catherine had many children, she also had many miscarriages, and never gave birth to a son. The Pope agreed, and Henry and Catherine were married. ![]() He wanted to marry his brother’s widow, Catherine, but that was against accepted Biblical teachings, and so he sent a special request to the Pope, asking for his marriage to be legitimized. Henry VIII was an English King who came to power in 1509 after the death of his older brother. The action covers roughly six years, from Thomas More’s appointment as Lord Chancellor in 1529 to his death in 1535, but requires knowledge of England from even a few years before that.

But it can be expensive for Git to update its cached understanding of the filesystem with the actual state of the disk while you work. ![]() Git has its own cached understanding of the filesystem to avoid this whole-directory traversal in many cases. When you run git status, for example, Git has to crawl your entire working directory (in the worst case) in order to figure out which files have been modified. A builtin filesystem monitor for Windows and macOSĪs we have discussed often before, one of the factors that significantly impact Git’s performance is the size of your working directory. There’s a lot of detail we haven’t yet covered on cruft packs, so expect a more comprehensive technical overview in a separate blog post soon. mtimes file, storing the ages of each unreachable object written within the last 24 hours $ ls -1. To try it out yourself, you can run: $ git gc -cruft -prune=1.day.agoĪnd notice that your $GIT_DIR/objects/pack directory will have an additional. While cruft packs don’t eliminate the data race we described earlier, in practice they can help make it much less likely by allowing repositories to prune with a much longer grace period, without worrying about the potential to create many loose objects. Git 2.37 introduces a new concept, cruft packs, which allow unreachable objects to be stored together in a single packfile by writing the ages of individual objects in an auxiliary table stored in an *.mtimes file alongside the pack. This can lead to serious problems when there are many unreachable objects which are too new and can’t be pruned. Instead, prior to Git 2.37, each surviving unreachable object was written out as a loose object, and the mtime of the individual objects was used to store their age. But it leads us to another problem: how do we keep track of the age of the unreachable objects which didn’t leave the repository? We can’t pack them together into a single packfile since all objects in a pack share the same modification time, updating any object drags them all forward. Setting a small, non-zero grace period makes it much less likely to encounter this race in practice. This is done in order to mitigate a race condition where an unreachable object that is about to be deleted becomes reachable by some other process (like an incoming reference update or a push) before then being deleted, leaving the repository in a corrupt state. ![]() This setting defines a “grace period” during which unreachable objects which are not yet old enough to be removed from the repository completely are left alone. In fact, Git does this automatically when running garbage collection.īut observant readers will notice the gc.pruneExpire configuration. And it is often desirable to do just that, particularly when many unreachable objects have piled up, you’re running low on disk space, or similar. But it is free to discard unreachable objects at any time. Similarly, an object is “unreachable” when no such reference exists.Ī Git repository needs all of its reachable objects to ensure that the repository is intact. An object is “reachable” when there is at least one reference (a branch or a tag) from which you can start an object walk (traversing from commits to their parents, from trees into their sub-trees, and so on) and end up at your destination. In Git, we often talk about classifying objects as either “reachable” or “unreachable”. We look forward to seeing you there!
