We introduced samba directly to around 31,000 people through our open-access drum and dance workshops in London and across the country. The London School of Samba has been teaching samba dance and samba drumming classes in the U.K. The School has performed over fourteen times and is one of the year’s highlights. In Coburg, Germany, the International Samba Festival is the largest samba festival outside Brazil. attended the 1st European Samba Encontro in Uppsala, Sweden, in 1986, and 2nd in Turku, Finland, in 1987. First every European Samba Encontro Sweden 1986 Within a few years, the London School of Samba was the first samba group to perform at W.O.M.A.D. Within a short period, the number of players and performances had snowballed. The London School of Samba did its first performance at Covent Garden Piazza on 1st April 1984. The History of the London School of Samba The School is also the Madrinha (Godmother School) to four groups: Bloco do Baliza (Madrid, Spain), Bandao (Poggibonsi, Italy), Bloco Maluco (Camberwell, U.K.) & Morro 16 (Dublin, Ireland). members helped form various samba groups.Īt least 30 samba groups have been formed in the U.K. In its first ten years, the School was instrumental in helping spread samba across England, Scotland & Wales, and notably into Ireland, where L.S.S. The London School of Samba is known as Samba’s Madrinha (“Godmother”) in the U.K. We have paraded thirty-seven times over the years, making the London School of Samba the longest-serving Samba School in the history of the Notting Hill Carnival. The first theme of the London School of Samba at Notting Hill Carnival was “Homage to Mocidade Samba School”. In August 1984, the London School of Samba were the first Samba School to appear at the Notting Hill Carnival. First Samba School to Perform at Notting Hill Carnival are very proud to have Mocidade as Madrinha to our school. In 2009, they made another visit to take part in the 25th anniversary of the London School of Samba. ![]() In 1989, Mocidade performed with the London School of Samba at the 3rd European Encontro on the Southbank in London. ![]() Mocidade Independente de Padre Miguel, who became the Madrinha of the LSS in 1984.

![]() It can be a lot of fun to speed through levels, collect all there is to find, and aim for a high score. Performing a flawless run earns a hefty 1,000 point bonus, while every death results in 100 points subtracted form their score. ![]() Players of Shadow Blade: Reload are also scored by how quickly they complete a level, how many enemies they defeated, and by how many deaths that occurred. Those yellow spirits are like the North Star, they'll guide you home. Getting 100% collection completion in a level earns players 4,000 points, and when most "S" ranks need at a minimum 6,000 or 7,000 points to achieve, it's a sizable sum of points. These are generally precariously placed in dangerous, hazard-filled areas or hidden off the beaten path. The other collectible, of which there are three per level, are green glowing Kanji. There are yellow spirits that not only are collectibles, but they serve as Shadow Blade: Reload's means to guide the player on where to go, sort of similar to the coins in Super Mario Bros.

There are spike traps, lasers, shooting kunai and daggers, moving platforms, crumbling ceilings, and more to deftly defy death by evading. Kuro will need all those skills, as levels feature copious amounts of hazards to dodge and narrowly avoid.

![]() Every leaf turns into a glowing torch of orange-red that will have you, your family and friends and even passers-by stopped in their tracks by this fiery beauty. Just as it seems nothing else new could happen, the first cool nights of fall arrive and the Orangeola Japanese Maple begins to really live up to its name. Because of the vigor and rapid growth of this tree, just as the leaves turn green, new orange and purple growth emerges, covering the older leaves in a veil of brightly-colored new foliage. Then, over several weeks of early summer the leaves change in waves of color, gradually becoming green by the middle or later part of summer. As they develop they turn to a rich purple. In spring the freshly emerged leaves are a blend of orange and green shades. Leaves and Color on Orangeola Japanese Maples The foliage is of the ‘dissectum’ type – deeply divided into 7 to 9 very narrow lobes, each lobe with an irregular edge, giving a beautiful lacy appearance to the leaves. Its form is only just the beginning of its beauty. This makes it especially useful on sloping sites, or at the top of a wall, or to plant in a tall pot, where the full waterfall of its branches can be appreciated best. It has an unusual form, growing upright but also weeping, so that over time it becomes a broad mound of cascading branches. This is one of the fastest-growing cut-leaf Japanese maples you can find, quickly developing into a magnificent specimen. This can be true, but certainly not with the Orangeola Japanese Maple. Some gardeners do not plant Japanese maples because they think they are too slow growing. No pruning is required, it has no significant pests and diseases, and as long as it does not become too dry, this tree will be beautiful all season long – a great plant for any garden of any size and style. Afternoon shade is very beneficial in hot areas. Place it so that it receives some sun – more in cooler states and less in hotter ones. The Orangeola Japanese Maple is hardy from zone 5 to zone 9, and this special tree will grow in any garden soil that does not become too dry in summer. Very heat-resistant, a perfect choice for hot states.It is also one of the fastest growing forms of the dissected-leaf maples, so you will not be waiting long to see the full beauty of a mature tree in your garden. With staking it can be grown taller if needed. It has a beautiful cascading growth form, becoming a mound of leaves up to 5 feet tall, but as much as 8 feet across. Not only that, this is perhaps the best Japanese maple to grow in hotter areas, as it is much more heat-resistant than many other varieties. It truly lives up to its name in fall with a stunning display of orange-red leaves, but from the orange tones of its emerging leaves, through the purplish shades of summer, the continuing orange of its new growth, right into the fall climax, this tree will always amaze you. The Orangeola Japanese Maple is the crème-de-la-crème of the many varieties of these coveted trees. We've gotta protect good ole' Mother Nature, after all. ![]() While we wish we could serve everyone, it's for the safety of native species and helps prevent the spread of invasive disease & pests.

The Value of Draft Position in the 2023 Draft ![]() They’ve got a real head start in the Connor Bedard sweepstakes and the league’s bottom five will be a tough group to crack, but I believe Detroit has a real chance at landing a pick in the 7-10 range which would be a massive improvement from the 11-15 range they find themselves in right now. The sooner you commit to the tank the better, as we’ve seen with teams like the Arizona Coyotes and Chicago Blackhawks. With that reality in mind, I believe Detroit’s goal from here on out should be to maximize the value of their 2023 first round pick by making a few strategic moves to enhance their draft lottery odds (although we all know Detroit doesn’t win draft lotteries). ![]() Detroit has one of the five toughest schedules remaining in the NHL (second toughest at the time of writing), with two games each against the Boston Bruins, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Carolina Hurricanes ( via. “Strength of Schedule” (SOS) is a metric that finds the average points percentage of every team left on a team’s schedule, so a high SOS means you’ve got a rough stretch ahead and that you can be expected to lose a lot of games. Related: Red Wings Were Right to Avoid Bo Horvat The Red Wings have a ton of remaining games against Atlantic and Metro division teams, giving them one of the least enviable second-half schedules in the entire league. I’m generally an optimist but I didn’t expect the Red Wings to make the playoffs this year so I’m not particularly worried that they’re on the outside looking in just after the All-star break. The Metropolitan Division has also been remarkably competitive this year, meaning that Detroit was always going to be in tough to make the playoffs this year. The Atlantic Division is incredibly tough and deep this year, even with the Florida Panthers underperforming expectations by a wide margin. I’m not saying they should go full-on tank mode like the Chicago Blackhawks did last year, but a deliberate tank for the rest of this season with an eye on making the playoffs in the 2023-24 season is what I believe is best for the long-term outlook of the team. I believe that the Red Wings will be best served long term by accepting the fact that they are completely out of the playoff race this year and selling a few pieces to give them the best possible draft pick in the 2023 Draft. 600.Derek Lalonde, Detroit Red Wings Head Coach (Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images) They are the only wild card team, in either conference, with a points percentage above. 1 wild card team in the Eastern Conference. As this story is being written on Sunday afternoon, the Red Wings (9-5-3), according to the NHL.com, are the No. Detroit Red Wings fans would certainly like that fact if their team could hold one of those spots on Thursday. But most gamblers would like that probability. Last season’s results fit that model: 12 of the 16 teams that were in an NHL playoff spot on Thanksgiving were still there at the end of the season. Those numbers exclude any season when a full schedule wasn’t played. In the salary cap era, 76% of teams in a playoff spot on the American holiday (based on percentage of available points earned) have gone to play in the postseason. Most of those beliefs are at least rooted in the sport’s history, even the one about Thanksgiving, provided you accept that a 75% probability is a likely occurrence.

![]() There’s a lot to be said for knowing who an NPC may or may not want to deal with.īut that density and complexity can have its costs, too. Origins as well as tags (some of which are set at character creation, while others can be acquired) can impact a character’s options in many different situations. Maybe it’s in a healing spell cast over the wounded. Of course murder’s always on the table, but maybe the real key is in an innocent red ball looted from a previous encounter (which hopefully no one traded for a lockpick). Conversations, battles, and quests are all scenarios to be solved, one way or another. Isolated into their most basic elements there’s a predictability to everything, a logic that can be employed in some situations (particularly combat) for perfectly unsurprising outcomes. ![]() A teleportation glove can lead someone too clever for their own good somewhere they’re absolutely not prepared to be.

It’s an RPG that is overwhelmingly about planning ahead yet still being completely taken by surpriseĪnd that’s incredibly valuable. It’s a good idea to take advantage of this, since a more diverse set of skills can ensure a party is ready to deal with anything. Better still, they offer players the option to influence their class when they do join up, so a party that’s already brimming with magic users can nudge a new companion in a different direction to fill a skill gap. ![]() Origin characters will become companions if they aren’t picked as the player character, meaning that their stories and the unique interactions they can have aren’t completely locked off. Players still have complete control over the origin character’s class, abilities and appearance, so there’s wiggle room even if you love a character concept but hate their weapon/hair/cannibalism-related clairvoyance. Choosing an origin character doesn’t mean sacrificing any chance at customization, though. Players can customize their own characters (down to picking an instrument to highlight their personal soundtrack) or choose from several pre-made origins. From the very beginning Original Sin 2 feels wonderfully flexible. ![]() The easiest way to create a model instance is using the make:model Artisan command: php artisan make:model User All Eloquent models extend Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model class. Models typically live in the app directory, but you are free to place them anywhere that can be auto-loaded according to your composer.json file. To get started, let's create an Eloquent model. For more information on configuring your database, check out the documentation. Models allow you to query for data in your tables, as well as insert new records into the table.īefore getting started, be sure to configure a database connection in config/database.php. Each database table has a corresponding "Model" which is used to interact with that table. This property maps various points of the Eloquent model's lifecycle to your own event classes.The Eloquent ORM included with Laravel provides a beautiful, simple ActiveRecord implementation for working with your database. To start listening to model events, define a $dispatchesEvents property on your Eloquent model. Event names ending with -ing are dispatched before any changes to the model are persisted, while events ending with -ed are dispatched after the changes to the model are persisted. The saving / saved events will dispatch when a model is created or updated - even if the model's attributes have not been changed. The updating / updated events will dispatch when an existing model is modified and the save method is called. When a new model is saved for the first time, the creating and created events will dispatch. The retrieved event will dispatch when an existing model is retrieved from the database. Want to broadcast your Eloquent events directly to your client-side application? Check out Laravel's model event broadcasting.Įloquent models dispatch several events, allowing you to hook into the following moments in a model's lifecycle: retrieved, creating, created, updating, updated, saving, saved, deleting, deleted, trashed, forceDeleting, forceDeleted, restoring, restored, and replicating. This method also accepts an optional attribute argument: The isClean method will determine if an attribute has remained unchanged since the model was retrieved. You may pass a specific attribute name or an array of attributes to the isDirty method to determine if any of the attributes are "dirty". The isDirty method determines if any of the model's attributes have been changed since the model was retrieved. This is because the models are never actually retrieved when issuing a mass update.Įloquent provides the isDirty, isClean, and wasChanged methods to examine the internal state of your model and determine how its attributes have changed from when the model was originally retrieved. When issuing a mass update via Eloquent, the saving, saved, updating, and updated model events will not be fired for the updated models. The update method returns the number of affected rows. The update method expects an array of column and value pairs representing the columns that should be updated. You may use the make:model Artisan command to generate a new model: Models typically live in the app\Models directory and extend the Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model class. ![]() It's a great way to get a tour of everything the Laravel and Eloquent have to offer. The Laravel Bootcamp will walk you through building your first Laravel application using Eloquent. If you're new to Laravel, feel free to jump into the Laravel Bootcamp. For more information on configuring your database, check out the database configuration documentation. In addition to retrieving records from the database table, Eloquent models allow you to insert, update, and delete records from the table as well.īefore getting started, be sure to configure a database connection in your application's config/database.php configuration file. When using Eloquent, each database table has a corresponding "Model" that is used to interact with that table.
