Is Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party Worth It?
Is Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party worth it? I hear this question all the time. It's a good question. Let's see what the answer is.
Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) is one of the best things that Disney does. But it costs a lot of money. It starts at $85 per ticket plus tax! That's a lot of money for just a few hours in the park. The accountant side of me says it takes a lot to make the party worth it.
The Dad side of me says it's all about the experience. Let's look at some of the experiences that I think make MNSSHP worth it!
The only way to see a parade after dark (the best kind) is to go to MNSSHP or Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. That's sad. The parade at MNSSHP Is called The Boo to You Parade.
The Boo to You Parade is my favorite parade at Walt Disney World. It was my favorite even before Disney ended the Main Street Electrical Parade (so sad). I just love the music, the grave diggers, the ghost band, the Headless Horseman, and on and on. From the beginning to the end, I love the Boo to You Parade. It's one of the most MAGICAL things that happens at Walt Disney World and the only place to see it is at MNSSHP!
This is going to sound redundant, but Happy Hallowishes is my favorite fireworks show at Walt Disney World. I love the spooky voice (I'm a little jealous) that sings "When you hear the knell of the requiem bell...". It makes me shiver (in a good way).
If I could I'd hop on a plane right now and head to tonight's MNSSHP just to watch Hallowishes!
One of the most unique experiences that's available at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is Trick or Treating around the park. Each night Disney gives away over ONE TON of candy and it's the good stuff. Disney partners with the Mars company who provides the goodies that include over 40 different name brands of candy like Snickers, M&M's, Skittles, Dove Chocolate and lots more.
Disney gives every guest a bag when they arrive. It's kind of small. You might want to bring your own if you really want to stock up on some really good candy.
In addition to the Trick or Treating there are special treats available only at MNSSHP. Spooky and good looking treats. Yes, these cost extra, but boy do they look yummy.
Between the special treats and the party merchandise there are some really cool offerings that really make the party an great extra value.
Some parties the lines for the attractions are longer than in the day, but not always. In fact, I think on a normal party night you won't wait long for any ride. That's a huge draw.
Is Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party worth it? I sure think so. It's a great experience. Some of the best things at Walt Disney World happen at MNSSHP. If you want a great Disney experience, MNSSHP is the place to be.
Comments for Is Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party Worth It?
I can say that we were there twice and the first time was great but the second time was with our grandchildren and it was so crowded that the girls could hardly get any of the treats because the lines were so long,so we mostly went on the rides.In my opinon the first time was great,but the second was not worth it.
Will Disneyland offer the same as WDW? Treats, parade, etc.


The Hai Wen Bridge opened to traffic on 18th March 2019, the project was originally established in 2009 and construction started on 7th March 2015. Construction of the bridge cost an estimated 3.01 billion (RMB) around ($440 million).
The total length of the bridge is 5,600 meters, connecting Yangfeng town Haikou to Puqian town, Wenchang, reducing travel time between the two to around 20 minutes, down from 90 minutes.
It's a single pylon cable-stayed bridge built to the highest earthquake resistance standards. Unfortunately due to planning and terrain conditions the bridge could not effectively avoid fault lines. Since the start of the planning process, research projects were formed to solve technical problems such as earthquake resistance, wind resistance and environmental protection.
Puqian town has a population of around 42,000 over an area of 137.7 squared kilometres. The town sits on a 38 kilometre stretch of coastline and has three ports, Mulan Port, Puqian Port and Xinyi Port. Since construction began on the new bridge, Puqian has undergone major redevelopment.

A Recipe For Anarchy
If they were just livening up TV debate, one could ignore them. But what is the remedy when the lunatic fringe becomes the sane centre?
Vinod Mehta	18 November 2002
Vinod Mehta	November 18, 2002 00:00 IST A Recipe For Anarchy
Is India ungovernable? The question can no longer be avoided or postponed. At the best of times, this country's very realistic dream of becoming an economic and political superpower seems increasingly distant, perhaps a mirage. We are, instead, furiously preoccupied with putting together a structure which moves forward in fits and starts at a maddeningly slow pace. Unfortunately, even that curtailed, cut-price dream has come up against a new and bizarre impediment.
India is the proud possessor of a loud, raucous, contentious, messy democracy which, till date, has shown extraordinary flexibility. I know there are well-meaning people who go moist in the eyes when they compare India with China. Statistics (Chinese statistics, incidentally, lie humungously) are not the only barometer of gross national health.
Democracy exacts a price. Free citizens in a free country make contradictory demands on the state which eventually have to be reconciled through compromise and conciliation. In a one-party state, one-party dictatorship actually, compromise and conciliation can be banished to the gulag.
We cannot pat ourselves on the back, we cannot indulge in modest self-congratulation for having successfully created a multi-religious, multi-lingual, multi-ethnic, secular society which frequently takes on its rulers, rubs their noses in the dirt they have spawned and finally enjoys the power of ejecting them from office—all these privileges come with a price tag on which is written: surrender visions of Chinese-style quick prosperity.
The Chinese miracle, however beguiling, is not for us. Happily, other miracles are both desirable and catchable. Miracles which allow one billion people to live as free citizens, while simultaneously giving them an opportunity to choose, say, between Pepsi and Thums Up. Doubtless, that is the slower, harder way forward, but it is the one we have consciously selected. Except for a few free-market ayatollahs and hard-core Marxists (the soft-core, which includes Buddhadeb Bhattacharya, are quickly coming around), the roadmap for India's tryst with the big league has, by and large, been signed and sealed.
In this document, competing interests and lobbies, political parties, pressure groups, public interest bodies, ngos, cranks, eccentrics, extremists can be harmoniously accommodated, that is, their voices are heard within the framework of our legal and constitutional arrangement. If the cause they champion is defeated after a fair and democratic fight, they usually learn to accept defeat gracefully. Even Mr Nanjundaswamy of Karnataka, who made a transient name for himself by tearing down a McDonald's outlet in Bangalore, has accepted the discipline of the agreed roadmap.
That leaves only Mr Praveen Togadia. If Shri Togadia and his half-a-dozen colleagues were merely adding to the decibel level of our already noisy democracy and fouling up civilised discourse, one could dismiss them as a fringe nuisance who liven up television debates which are increasingly becoming a form of spectator sport in which the loudest shouter wins. But what is the remedy when the lunatic fringe threatens to become the sane centre? What is the remedy when the prime minister of a country is publicly berated by one extra-constitutional authority (the RSS) on the complaint that he is "not listening" to another extra-constitutional authority (the VHP)? What is the remedy when a group first places itself outside the system, then refuses to play by the rules of democracy, and then claims to have been cheated?
If the aforementioned reprimand to the holder of the highest elective office in the land concerned his part-time poetry, or the need for him to recite the Gita, or for him to give up consuming non-vegetarian food, it would be a matter of intra-parivar dialectics.Unhappily, the rebuke was about fdi, divestment in the public sector, the functioning of the pmo, relations with the US, military attack on a neighbour, breaking the law to build a temple.... Clearly, these demands, singly and collectively, belong to the temporal world and have little to do with the upliftment of the Hindu soul.
After nearly 60 years of eventful existence, the Indian nation-state has arrived at a few conclusions. It has "settled" a few core issues. These revolve around the basic nature of the society we inhabit. Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel, B.R. Ambedkar, along with the founding fathers of our Republic, gave us a blueprint which has not been substantially altered by successive regimes of differing political persuasions. For the overwhelming majority of citizens, the blueprint has served the Republic well and is respected and admired in the free and the unfree world.
Now we have some short-tempered people who have never stood for public office, never submitted their programme to electoral test, never had any experience of governance, who have no understanding of international complexities, insisting that the blueprint is a "fraud" designed to keep the majority community in chains. They mean, in short, to stand India on its head by opening up and reversing "settled" issues. If the political party which currently rules India, and to which they indubitably belong, finds their agenda a serious embarrassment—an embarrassment which is fast losing them electoral popularity—can you imagine what chaos and anarchy they would unleash if that party was out of government? Can you blame the prime minister for not listening to them?
All the pressures and pulls facing our fully-stretched democracy pale into insignificance if you add the demands of Messrs Sudarshan, Singhal and Togadia. Together, they constitute the perfect recipe for ensuring India becomes permanently ungovernable. Given the country's standing difficulties, only a bona fide masochist who is "anti-national" to boot (to borrow Mr Togadia's favourite word) would even contemplate wasting the nation's energy considering the wish list which so dominates our headlines and TV screens.
Mr Prime Minister, thank you for not listening.

Well John, we've been talking in the last podcast about control, and control being man, displacing God, or woman. And I feel like I need to tell the solution to that control. Because I said I think in the last podcast it's our nature, it's not something we do, it is us, because we really think we're God. You mentioned something yesterday, and it sparked a whole lot of revelation with us, and that is, you talked about expectations and how they are oppressive. Do you remember? How you started that?
(M) You know I never, I didn't connect the subtle issue of expectations that we don't say. (J) When someone has an expectation on you to perform in a particular way, it's a control. They're taking a control over on you. And if you allow it, it kills everything. I made one statement yesterday, and I know we'll probably get into that, but I just see that when someone expects you to act a certain way or perform a certain way, or do something, it really prevents you from being able to do that.
(M) Absolutely, it quenches the Spirit. And I remember, I've told this a number of times over the years, but I think this may be the beginning of my understanding of it. I was just putting my groceries in the car, and the Lord said very clearly to me, have no expectations of anyone on earth. Expect only of Me. And there's just no question that that's word for word what He said; and I kind of thought that would be rather easy. I'm telling you it is impossible for the old man, to live not having expectations. So when we travel, and people are anticipating our coming sometimes its easy to expect that we're going to do a certain thing, or be a certain way.
(M) We all do it. I do it.
(J) We do it to ourselves even.
(M) We do it to ourselves, exactly. So, but, it's the picking up of power. Even expectations that are unspoken, that are silent and not acted upon, those expectations are the picking up of power over the other person.
(J) It goes back to what I said with the thoughts, and how you can drop someone's whole spirit by your thoughts or expectations.
(M) Or your objection to who they are at this moment, and what they're doing.
(J) They're not fulfilling a particular role, and so they're a failure. And then all of a sudden you'll feel it; you'll feel that rejection. Oh my-gosh, why do I feel all this rejection?
(M) And oppression, because, the use of power is rebellion, and rebellion is as witchcraft. So it becomes witchcraft to have any expectations. Now, if you're operating under the Holy Spirit, and the Spirit has a demand, that's legitimate, because that's God, the source is God. But when I'm the source of expectations, it is oppressive to the other person, and quenches the Spirit. I had an experience and I think I probably had expectations of myself, going into this situation. And only when it was all over did I realize that during it I knew that God wasn't moving, and His presence wasn't evident. It was fine, it went ok, but it didn't have that spark of the resurrection life. And I realized later, I think it was really just purely from expectations. And I knew years ago, that if you expect something of a person just as you said, that is the very thing they will be unable to perform. Because we are not meant to please man, we are meant to please God.
(J) Does that work with ourselves, if we expect ourselves to do that?
(M) I believe it does, horribly. Ok, the thing that came to me yesterday, so wonderful, is the solution.
(J) Well, let's hear it.
(M) Ok. The solution is the altar. There's only one solution to everything wrong with us, and that is the altar. It's Ro. 12:1 I beseech you brethren by the mercies of Christ that you present your body a living sacrifice, holy acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service of worship. That's my verse for years. And maybe some day I can get to the total understanding and living of it. But the best way I can describe an altar, the word altar means the place of putting to death. That's what an altar is, that's what the Hebrew word means, the place of putting to death. The vivid picture of it is Abraham. It's so fantastic, because Abraham built an altar everywhere he moved to. And with every encounter with God, he built an altar. And we think of the altar as a place to worship, but it was clearly defined as a place of death when Abraham was called to take Isaac up the mountain to the altar. Now Abraham was so used to the altar that he understood the whole principle of the altar.
(J) Probably so did Isaac.
(M) Isaac did later, yes. And there's proof of it John. But the exciting thing is that if you learn the principle of the altar, you will go to it as your wonderful solution, not as your dread place of death. But Abraham knew because he'd gone to the altar, built his altar over and over again, and he understood what was going to happen. It wasn't the first time for Abraham, because he understood the whole thing. He said to his men, I'm going up here to worship and the boy and I will return. Now we've said that's faith, no, that is understanding of resurrection life. That what you put on the altar for God to own completely, comes back to you, sanctified and living. But what you hold onto dies.
(J) So he understood the process more than we even understand it.
(M) I think he's the picture, I think yes, he did. And so he understood that it was worship, he understood that it was death, but he also understood that it was resurrection.
(J) You'd think that this side of the cross we'd understand it better. You know?
(M) Yeah. And I think the enemy keeps us in our unwillingness to give up control. So Abraham took Isaac, and I've often said that Abraham was the one who died at that encounter. And it's because I've taken my children to that altar, and I know that you die when you give God the complete ownership of something dear to you, whether it's your self, or someone, you are the one who dies. But then God takes it over, and brings it back to you resurrected.
(J) Actually, on the way down you were telling me that story about that man, remember? (M) It's the story John Lake told about a man who prayed and prayed and prayed for his rebellious, sinful son, and God said, if you're finished, I'll take over. And so the man relinquished his son to God, completely, and said, he's yours, I'm finished even praying for him. And the point was, you can hold onto God so tight and not let go that you are actually quenching the Spirit in other peoples lives. That is a very sobering thing. Control actually is transferred, and if you control a person, and how do you think I know any of this, you control a person wanting them to be with God, you force them to choose their own freedom. And that will mean rejecting God. Does that make sense?
(M) So this man let go and a knock on his door came and they said, we found the body of your son in the lake, he drowned, and the man said, I have no son. That is the degree of relinquishment, John. Absolute, if it isn't absolute, it's not death. If it isn't totally giving it to God then it isn't the altar. So, a couple years went by, and one day there was a knock on his door and he opened it, and there was this nicely dressed young man. And he said, father, I wanted to wait until my life was completely straightened out; but I was saved two years ago and now I'm going to the mission field. And that is a classic to me. It's a classic parable, or it must have really happened. But Abraham shows us the altar. So God pushes you and pressures you with circumstances to show you your desire to control. And our response is I know what should be here, and I will make it happen.
(J) That blasted 'I know'.
(M) Yes. That tree, the ' I know' is from that death tree. And we often do know some of what the Holy Spirit wants, but we don't' have any power to make it happen, in us, or in others, that is the point. We are helpless. Once you see, and sometimes it takes a long time to see your lust for control, and that it is sin and unbelief. It's really unbelief, at the bottom of it.
(J) What's it unbelief of?
(M) God, Gods ability, Gods control, Gods sovereignty, Gods willingness. Can you add to it?
(J) No. I think you've got it there.
(M) I know it well, unfortunately, or fortunately. The death of your control is the death of you. And He seeks that you would at last give up His throne. The only altar of sacrifice I know of, the altar of sacrifice, is Ro. 12:1 that I've just quoted. And what you do is, you present your whole body. Now, I think in the Greek it says that represents a once time deal. It may do that, it may be that, but you have to spend a lifetime finding out what it is that you are to die to. Your whole body had to go to that altar, a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, that's the altar of your death. And it's the death of your thoughts; you said yesterday, the situation you were in, I've got to relinquish my thoughts. Is that what you said, do you remember?
(J) I just said that I had to give up thinking I knew the answer to this, or I knew the resolve, I knew what was going to happen, I knew how it should happen. I'm looking at it this side, as I told this person; I'm looking at it this side of history. I have no idea what's going to go on between here and God's solution to it, whatever that is.
(M) And we act as if we know the whole thing, and so we go to control. But the old man thinks that he or she is God, and should rule the situation. So you have to die to your will, you have to die to your seeing, your hearing, your feeling heart has to die. Your doing and going and working and thinking, all of that is in your body, and all of that has to go, that is worship. And the wonderful thing is, that when it does, when your body is surrendered at the altar, with your gift of worship, that is worship John; it's not singing and dancing only, it is the presentation of your very being to die, to the Lord. Then you are struck with resurrection life. And the resurrection life is Christ. So you cannot achieve God's will except through that altar, and the altar is the cross. When you go to that altar what you're giving God is the control, the relinquishment of your very being. (J) Everything.
(M) Everything. And from that altar rises the answer to your prayer. I want to say to make it clear, that frees God. And I do believe that we hinder God.
(J) With our expectations of Him.
(J) Of us, and of others.
(M) I think we quench the Spirit, we, I can put it in that vernacular, because the scripture says, "do not quench the Spirit". But when we take the Spirit's place, and we be the conscience, the decision, of other people.
(J) Which is very easy to do.
(M) Its very easy, just breathe and you'll do that. Just be in your soul, and you will do that. But I've used the word relinquishment, and it would take a number of words to describe how you get to that altar. Relinquishment is letting go of it. Abdication, I ran across abdication this morning; when you abdicate a throne, you give it up forever. When you renounce something you are getting rid of it, and you're renouncing yourself.
(J) You'll no longer sit in that seat.
(M) Its over, it's done. And it must be that complete, it must be the killing of it. Abraham, the picture of Abraham is of Christ, yes, but it is a picture of a human entering into the altar, in which Christ is the substitute, and we don't really have to die in the sense of eternity, but we do have to die to our own self. And we've already been taken to the grave. It was absolute; Abraham picked up the knife to kill his own beloved, cherished child. And only the angel stopped it. He was committed to true death. He was committed to go all the way if need be. And that's how much the relinquishment be. Many times in my early walk I would kneel, hold my hands open, and say, it is yours, but I would know that I hadn't released it, and I would pray and pray until I felt that I had released it, and God had taken it. Now, it's a little easier, sometimes. I'm ever challenged to relinquish.

Marian athletics announces cancellation of Korbie Classic
Marian University athletics has announced the cancellation of the annual Korbie Classic golf outing.
The Korbie Classic traditionally has served as the opening event for homecoming weekend. With health and safety as the main priority, Marian University athletics has made the difficult decision to cancel the annual golf outing.

Miles Davis once said, "Don't play what's there. Play what's not there." But for Kim Waters playing what's there is what he does best.

Our Lady's Hospital, Cashel
Cashel, Tipperary
Avanti Architects have worked with the Health Services Executive (South East) for over 12 years on the phased redevelopment of their community hospital. Avanti established the masterplan (DCP) for the 6.5 acre campus, and then carried out consecutive phases of enabling refurbishment, extension and new buildings, while maintaining the existing A&E and surgical services in operation.
The masterplanning approach was to maximise the natural landscaping of the 6.5 acre site and to link the community hospital back into the centre of the 13th century medieval town, by re-opening a gate in the Old Town Hall. The new buildings on the site are similar in scale and materials to the local vernacular while the listed building is restored to its 1930s splendour.

This logarithmic view of the Universe will blow your mind
As we look to larger cosmic scales, we get a broader view of the expansive cosmic forest, eventually revealing the grandest views of all.

It's a long way from planet Earth to the Universe's edge.
Artist's logarithmic scale conception of the observable universe. The Solar System gives way to the Milky Way, which gives way to nearby galaxies which then give way to the large-scale structure and the hot, dense plasma of the Big Bang at the outskirts. Each line-of-sight that we can observe contains all of these epochs, but the quest for the most distant observed object will not be complete until we've mapped out the entire Universe.

Our tiny home world, seemingly massive, is merely 12,742 km (7,917 miles) across.
This image, taken from the International Space Station by astronaut Karen Nyberg in 2013, shows the two largest islands on the southern part of the Mascarene Plateau: Réunion, in the foreground, and Mauritius, partially covered by clouds. To see a human on Earth from the altitude of the ISS, a telescope the size of Hubble would be needed. The scale of a human is less than 1/5,000,000 the scale of Earth, but Earth is just a proverbial drop in the cosmic ocean, with a diameter of only a little over 10,000 kilometers.

We typically think linearly: where the Sun is ~10,000 times farther away than Earth's diameter.
The orbits of the planets in the inner Solar System aren't exactly circular, but they are quite close, with Mercury and Mars having the biggest departures and the greatest ellipticities. If you were to draw an imaginary line connecting Earth-to-Mercury, you'd see Mercury's apparent position migrate from west-to-east during most times, but during retrograde motion, when it overtakes the Earth, its position would instead migrate from east-to-west: a phenomenon that only an inner planet can experience. (Credit: NASA/JPL)
But cosmically, logarithmic scales — where each multiplicative factor of "10" defines another mark on our cosmic ruler — serve us far better.
The Earth, at nearly 13,000 kilometers (8,000 miles) in diameter, is tiny compared to the cosmic distances between the Earth-and-Moon or, more spectacularly, the Earth-and-Sun. But a logarithmic scale gives us a vastly different perspective, enabling us to reckon with disparate distance scales in a single visual image. (Credit: Pablo Carlos Budassi)
On a logarithmic scale, the Sun, Mercury, and Mars are practically equidistant.
The inner Solar System, including the planets, asteroids, gas giants, Kuiper belt, and more, is minuscule in scale when compared to the extent of the Oort Cloud. Sedna, the only large object with a very distant aphelion, may be part of the innermost portion of the inner Oort Cloud, but even that is disputed. On a linear scale, depicting the entire Solar System in a single image is incredibly limiting. (Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/R. Hurt)
Another factor of ~10,000 in distance takes us to the Oort cloud.
In the Solar System, we typically measure distances in Astronomical Units (AU), where the Earth-Sun distance is 1 AU. Mercury and Mars are also about ~1 AU from Earth, with Saturn at ~10 AU, the Kuiper belt ending before ~100 AU, and the Oort cloud largely existing at ~10,000 AU. It's an enormous distance on a linear scale, but only a small set of "factors of 10" away on a logarithmic one. (Credit: Pablo Carlos Budassi)
A short logarithmic jump takes us from the Solar System to the stars.
This long-exposure image captures a number of bright stars, star-forming regions, and the plane of the Milky Way above the southern hemisphere's ALMA observatory. The nearest stars are only a few light-years away: less than a factor of 10 from the edge of the Oort cloud. But more distant stars and features, still visible with the naked human eye, can be tens of thousands of light-years away instead. (Credit: ESO/B. Tafreshi (twanight.org))
Many of the brightest stars in Earth's skies are under 1,000 light-years away.
Many of the brightest nearby stars to Earth are members of the Orion arm, which itself is a minor spur of the larger, grander Perseus arm of the Milky Way. From the nearest stars, a few light-years away, to these arms, a few thousands of light-years away, represents only three factors of "10" on a logarithmic scale. (Credit: Pablo Carlos Budassi)
Another small logarithmic jump brings us to our nearest spiral arms.
Gaia's all-sky view of our Milky Way Galaxy and neighboring galaxies. The maps show the total brightness and color of stars (top), the total density of stars (middle), and the interstellar dust that fills the Galaxy (bottom). Note how, on average, there are approximately ~10 million stars in each square degree, but that some regions, like the galactic plane or the galactic center, have stellar densities well above the overall average. (Credit: ESA/Gaia/DPAC)
Beyond that lies the full Local Galactic Group.
The Perseus spiral arm leads into the full-scale Milky Way, with other galaxies in the Local Group lying only a single factor of "10" beyond the full-scale Milky Way. Another factor of 10 beyond that takes us to large galactic groups and even approaches the closest galaxy cluster. (Credit: Pablo Carlos Budassi)
Rapidly, neighboring galaxies become ubiquitous.
Our local supercluster, Laniakea, contains the Milky Way, our local group, the Virgo cluster, and many smaller groups and clusters on the outskirts, including the M81 Group. However, each group and cluster is bound only to itself and will be driven apart from the others due to dark energy and our expanding Universe. After 100 billion years, even the nearest galaxy beyond our own local group will be approximately a billion light-years away, making it many thousands, and potentially millions of times fainter than the nearest galaxies appear today. (Credit: Andrew Z. Colvin/Wikimedia Commons)
Subsequent cosmic steps reveal large-scale galaxy clustering.
There are only a few factors of "10" in logarithmic distance that separate the nearest galaxies, located a few hundred thousand to a few million light-years away, to large-scale clustering features on the scales of hundreds of millions or possibly one billion light-years. At these scales, the Universe's largest bound features begin to come into view. (Credit: Pablo Carlos Budassi)
Eventually the largest structures of all are revealed: the great cosmic web.
The growth of the cosmic web and the large-scale structure in the Universe, shown here with the expansion itself scaled out, results in the Universe becoming more clustered and clumpier as time goes on. Initially small density fluctuations will grow to form a cosmic web with great voids separating them, but what appear to be the largest wall-like and supercluster-like structures may not be true, bound structures after all, as late-time dark energy drives them apart. (Credit: Volker Springel/MPE)
Many of these features are only apparent: dark energy will tear these pseudostructures apart.
The largest features seen here, like "great walls" and "large quasar groups" may not be cosmologically bound structures, but rather apparent pseudostructures, where gravitation due to their cumulative masses will be insufficient to keep them bound. Dark energy, on the largest cosmic scales, will drive all things apart. (Credit: Pablo Carlos Budassi)
At the cosmic limits, the edges of time are revealed: the earliest moments after the hot Big Bang.
Our deepest galaxy surveys can reveal objects tens of billions of light years away, but even with ideal technology, there will be a large distance gap between the farthest galaxy and the Big Bang. At some point, our instrumentation simply cannot reveal them all, and the gap between the emission of the cosmic microwave background and the formation of the very first stars will finally be definitively revealed to us. (Credit: Sloan Digital Sky Survey)
Thanks to artist Pablo Carlos Budassi for creating this brilliantly illustrated cosmic journey.
This vertically oriented logarithmic map of the Universe spans nearly 20 orders of magnitude, taking us from planet Earth to the edge of the visible Universe. Each large "mark" on the right side's scale bar corresponds to an increase in distance scales by a factor of 10. (Credit: Pablo Carlos Budassi)

Phoebe Snow, who grew up in Teaneck and lived for many years in Fort Lee, was a one-of-a-kind singer, capable of both stunning power and breathtaking subtlety. She had big hits with "Poetry Man" and her "Gone at Last" collaboration with Paul Simon, both in 1975, but though her time as a mainstream star was short — in part because she chose to spent much of her time caring for her daughter Valerie, who was born with severe brain damage — she remained an electrifying performer and an accomplished recording artist for several more decades.
Valerie died in 2007, and Phoebe Snow died in 2011, at the age of 60, after suffering a cerebral hemorrhage.
Below is a great recording of hers that has never gotten a lot of attention: Her cover of Bob Dylan's "I Believe in You" — which she sometimes dedicated to Valerie when she performed it live — from her 1981 album Rock Away.

Sarah Anne Hartford
May 17, 2016 May 11, 2016 / yahistoricalvault
Does anyone else remember these books? If my cursory Googling is anything to go by, the answer is no. These were a cheap knockoff of the Dear America books, except the main differences were that the DA books were actually in diary format! What on earth is the point of a series called "American Diaries" if the entire book is a regular old book with a 3-page diary entry at the beginning and end? Cop-out! The other difference is that the DA novels dealt with issues with grace and humour and occasionally really excellent writing, while all these books…..do not. Anyway, my childhood library had scads of these books and for some reason I owned one, but I had no idea there were so many of them! There's nineteen! They're all by Kathleen Duey, whose work can be described as "workmanlike" at best and downright strange at worst! (She did write the outstandingly bizarre Louisiana Hurricane that I reviewed here.)
Fine, let's see. This is a rare example of a book I haven't reread since buying it, since most of my childhood books are splayed open, stained with crumbs, or otherwise bear conspicuous signs of love. This book could be new. It's a first edition, which means I got it new in 1996 when it came out, and the price on the spine is $3.99. Wow, remember when new paperbacks cost only $4? That was great.
American Diaries: Sarah Anne Hartford, Massachusetts, 1651, Kathleen Duey, 1996.
This book is 142 pages long and contains maybe 6 pages worth of actual plot. Every single thing that happens is streeee-e-e-e-e-etched out with wildly dull descriptions. There's like a whole chapter devoted to "Sarah cooks dinner."
So, the book opens with a single-page "diary entry" that reads like knockoff Dear America fanfiction, and then we're into the plot. It's Sunday, and Sarah is at Meeting with her father, and it's cold and she's bored. Sarah is thirteen and an only child, her mother having died a few years beforehand. Her father is thinking of remarrying a widow, Mistress Goddard, whom Sarah dislikes because she used to run the school and she's strict.
Point: Sarah and her friend Elizabeth bang on a lot about how they'll be married "soon" and "in just a few short year," but Puritans generally did not marry until their 20s or so. Almost certainly they would both have several years to wait. Already I'm straying off topic.
Sarah's friend that I mentioned, Elizabeth, wants to walk home with her from Meeting, and Sarah's father agrees, so off they go. It's cold, and Elizabeth's older brother Roger lends Sarah his yellow coat, and they wander off on one of the side roads even though it's steep and it's freezing and snowy. This is where we learn that Elizabeth is "willful," etc., and they chat a little about Anne Hutchinson and the minister's sermon. But because they're 13, they get distracted by falling around in the snow, and one thing leads to another and eventually they're tumbling down the snowy hill and committing the cardinal sin of enjoying themselves on the Sabbath day. And they turn around and who's there to see them? Mistress Goddard! Of course!
Roger comes across them at this second too, and says that they've been too long and they had better get going. Elizabeth and Sarah exchange some ridiculous glances and then stumble off home. This whole book is so weirdly written that it's almost difficult to figure out if they're going, or staying, or what. Anyway, Sarah gets home and her weirdly-intense father is like "What on earth kept you?" and she just says it was snowy. They have dinner guests—Mistress Goddard, whom Sarah is deathly afraid has tattled, and another two people from the village.
Sarah's father tells her to go and change her wet clothes and make dinner for everyone, and says that he's very proud of her for….whatever it is. Turns out, Mistress Goddard said she saw Elizabeth and Roger playing, and Sarah's father thinks that she just came straight home rather than encouraging them in their nonsense. Then there's EIGHTEEN PAGES describing how Sarah makes dinner. Granted, it's while she's all caught up in Inner Turmoil, but still. EIGHTEEN PAGES.
It goes like this. "First, she would boil water for the samp. She lifted the full piggin to the wooden hearth shelf, placing it far to one side, where he sleeve could not catch the long handle-stave and spill the water. She reached up and took down the dipping gourd. Deftly, she slid it in at an angle beneath the water's surface in the piggin, then raised the gourd full and dripping. With a little swoop of her wrist, she shook the droplets free, then carried it cleanly across the hearth to the small iron saucepan." Oh Lord. There is no book where we need to have the character's every single action given to us. "She reached up. She carried it." And it goes ON and ON. Also at one point she's described as getting out sweet potatoes, and while sweet potatoes are indeed native to the Americas, they are tropical plants and would almost certainly not have been grown or eaten much by Puritans.
Anyway, after that excruciating interlude, Sarah's father shows off her sampler and tries to impress Mistress Goddard, but she's too busy slamming Elizabeth and Roger's family to really absorb any of it. And after they finish eating, the Tithingman comes by (seriously—nothing is explained in this book—at least in the Dear America books they have a section at the end that talks about life in that era, and maybe a glossary of terms. But in this book they're just throwing around references to tithingmen and Anne Hutchinson that your average 8-12-year-old would not know!) and asks Sarah to come to the meetinghouse first thing next morning for A Discussion.
It's about the others, of course, and everyone leaves and Sarah passes a very fretful night worrying about what to do. The reverend and the tithingman meet them there, and they ask Sarah to tell them what happened and basically, to rat on her friends. She keeps thinking that now is the right time to say something, but she keeps getting interrupted or she's just so quiet that they don't even notice she's talking, and then they sweep her out all "OK, we're done here! Now to interview the guilty parties!" But Roger takes the fall for his sister, saying that it was all his idea, and they give Roger five lashes and BOTH of them FIVE HOURS in the stocks!
Note: They keep saying "stocks" but from the way they refer to it, they actually mean the pillory. I digress.
Sarah is horrified at how harsh they're going to be, and Elizabeth and Roger's father is almost on the verge of panic himself. But she still says nothing while her father takes her along to Mistress Goddard's house, trudging along in the snow, and informs her that he's planning on marrying the widow. He leaves her with Mistress Goddard and goes…somewhere, it's never explained where, and leaves them to get acquainted. This mostly consists of Mistress Goddard telling Sarah how awful her friend is, and how they're doomed, and Sarah finally loses it and bolts back to the meetinghouse where they're getting ready to stick Elizabeth and Roger in the "stocks."
She goes to the reverend and confesses that it was her, not Roger, and he's all "Hmm. Well, into the stocks with you then, too," but it doesn't stop them from whipping Roger. Her father just stares at her and leaves while they lock them in. Elizabeth is angry at first, and then they begin succumbing to the cold, since it's February in Massachusetts. Eventually Elizabeth starts…nodding off, or passing out, or beginning to succumb to hypothermia or something, and just in the nick of time Sarah's father turns up. He frees all three of them and takes them home, and apologizes for being cruel, and tells her that he isn't going to marry Mistress Goddard anyway. The last page is a diary entry where Sarah says she wants her children to grow up somewhere "where there are no ministers to punish them."
Note: The entire plot of this book hinges on the idea that someone mistook Sarah, wearing Roger's yellow coat, for Roger. In the middle of a wintry forest. Now, granted, even it takes place at dusk, I find it extremely hard to believe that anyone—especially a born-and-bred Puritan woman—would mistake a young girl wearing her usual garb of a long dress and a coat, for a young man wearing breeches.
Rating: D. Ugh. This book has no redeeming value. It goes on for way, way too long (which is saying a lot, considering that it's under 150 pages), has endless run-on scenes where every single little action is described (we don't need to know how she took the spoon and reached across and stirred the stew and tapped it on the side and put the spoon back down and so on, it's like there was a target word limit), and the plot is paper-thin. All of the characters are completely flat (Sarah is meek, her father is stern, Goody Goddard is mean, Elizabeth is feisty, Roger is brave) with zero development, and the entire premise of this book seems to be "Look how bad things were in Puritan times! Look! Look at it!"
Considering how awful this installment was, I'm considering delving into the penny section of Amazon to see if I can track down some others. Let's see what happens.

I love that your reaction to a terrible book is, "that was awful! I'm going to go find some more of these!"
I am a total glutton for punishment when it comes to these horrorshows!
Wow, that does not sound good. I went and looked up some more of these (do you know about Open Library? It's FREE and has a bunch of ebooks, including some from this series) and they mostly seem to take place over the course of one or two days, which both explains the lack of actual diary format (we would be getting Princess-Diaries level of unbelievably written entries) and is disappointing since I like hearing about more day-to-day happenings within a theme and less "here is a thing that happened and I learned a lot." Ah, knock-off series. I do love you.
I do NOW, omg THANK YOU! I can't wait to explore. I do have a few more of these books lined up, and they're ALL dreadful exactly like this one. I think that's why Dear America was successful (slice of life, "here is what it was like living through X Period, it wasn't all over in a day" and why this series wasn't (Girl Learns Lesson, also: historical backdrop). I can't believe there were SO many books in this series!


evaluate() can throw a script exception (e.g. due to a syntax error); in that case, the return value is the value that was thrown (typically an Error object). You can check whether the evaluation caused an exception by calling hasUncaughtException(). In that case, you can call toString() on the error object to obtain an error message. The current uncaught exception is also available through uncaughtException(). Calling clearExceptions() will cause any uncaught exceptions to be cleared.
The checkSyntax() function can be used to determine whether code can be usefully passed to evaluate().
Qt Script objects may be garbage collected when they are no longer referenced. There is no guarantee as to when automatic garbage collection will take place.
The collectGarbage() function can be called to explicitly request garbage collection.
The reportAdditionalMemoryCost() function can be called to indicate that a Qt Script object occupies memory that isn't managed by the scripting environment. Reporting the additional cost makes it more likely that the garbage collector will be triggered. This can be useful, for example, when many custom, native Qt Script objects are allocated.
QScriptEngine::ExcludeDeleteLater 0x0010 The script object will not expose the QObject::deleteLater() slot.
QScriptEngine::ExcludeSlots 0x0020 The script object will not expose the QObject's slots.
Checks the syntax of the given program. Returns a QScriptSyntaxCheckResult object that contains the result of the check.

Reports an additional memory cost of the given size, measured in bytes, to the garbage collector.
This function can be called to indicate that a Qt Script object has memory associated with it that isn't managed by Qt Script itself. Reporting the additional cost makes it more likely that the garbage collector will be triggered.
Note that if the additional memory is shared with objects outside the scripting environment, the cost should not be reported, since collecting the Qt Script object would not cause the memory to be freed anyway.
Negative size values are ignored, i.e. this function can't be used to report that the additional memory has been deallocated.
Sets this engine's Global Object to be the given object. If object is not a valid script object, this function does nothing.
When setting a custom global object, you may want to use QScriptValueIterator to copy the properties of the standard Global Object; alternatively, you can set the internal prototype of your custom object to be the original Global Object.

What the End of the INF Treaty Means for China
Post author By Andrey Baklitskiy
No Comments on What the End of the INF Treaty Means for China
Image courtesy of US Department of Defense
This article was originally published by the Carnegie Moscow Center in December 2019.
Beijing perceives the U.S. withdrawal from the INF and possible deployment of ground-based missiles to Asia as part of Washington's broader campaign to contain China. Overall, China can be fairly confident regarding its chances in a potential missile race in Asia, thanks to several advantages.
For many years, the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF) acted as a security guarantee for China: Beijing successfully made use of the mutual limitations imposed by the treaty on Russia and the United States to minimize the military threat to itself.
The open confrontation between Washington and Beijing that has begun under U.S. President Donald Trump has changed all that. The United States needed to free itself of restrictions to its military potential, and this was one of the factors in the collapse of the INF treaty. Washington's focus on containment of China was not unexpected for Beijing, but the new military dimensions of that policy compel China to take measures in response.
The INF treaty prohibited the United States from deploying ground-based intermediate-range missiles in Asia. This restriction on Washington's actions helped Beijing to maintain a nuclear deterrence strategy based on a relatively small number of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).
It's not surprising, therefore, that the reaction of the Chinese to the U.S. withdrawal from the INF treaty in 2019 was strongly negative. Beijing accused Washington of "ignoring its international obligations," and said the likely deployment of U.S. missiles in Asia would be "a provocative, destabilizing act." Beijing perceives the U.S. withdrawal from the INF treaty and possible deployment of ground-based missiles to Asia as part of Washington's broader campaign to contain China.
Washington's Asian allies are also actively opposed to the deployment of U.S. missiles on their territory. Expert assessments show that in order to have a strategic impact in a conflict with China, existing and most prospective U.S. ground-based intermediate-range systems would have to be stationed no further away than Japan or South Korea.
These two countries are unlikely to welcome U.S. missiles. Seoul already has bitter experience with hosting the U.S. THAAD missile defense system, to which China responded with economic restrictions against South Korea. The displeasure that Japanese society feels about having U.S. troops stationed on its territory is also well documented. Combined with a lack of clear U.S. strategy with regard to China, these factors cause the United States' allies to perceive the possible deployment of missiles as a significant escalation with no exit strategy, and therefore regard the idea with caution. U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said in August that he would like to start rolling out U.S. missiles in Asia in the next few months, but in reality, it could take years.
Aside from all of this, Washington does not yet even have the necessary ground-based missiles. Tests of the Tomahawk cruise missile from a mobile launcher in August were more of a political gesture than a demonstration of a working system. The first test of an unnamed intermediate-range ballistic missile was planned for November this year, but so far there is no news.
The United States has a notable advantage in terms of its nuclear forces and means of carrying out a counterforce strike. The Chinese leadership took this into account when developing its nuclear forces strategy and limiting itself to the bare minimum necessary to carry out a retaliatory strike.
The United States already has air- and sea-launched cruise missiles in the region, so if it adds ground-based missiles, it will be more of a quantitative than a qualitative change, especially since any U.S. systems placed in South Korea and Japan will be in the crosshairs of those same thousands of Chinese missiles to which the United States plans to respond.
At the same time, China has long been concerned by its growing global confrontation with the United States, and has already reacted to the changing strategic situation. Beijing is watching U.S. progress in increasing weapons precision, reconnaissance, and developing its global missile defense system.
Beijing is responding by investing in the survivability of its nuclear forces: moving over to new types of mobile ICBMs, using multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles for its missiles, paying closer attention to the development of strategic submarines, successfully experimenting with hypersonic boost-glide vehicles, building a radar network, and consulting with Russia over the creation of China's early warning system.
China will be less worried by quantitative changes in the U.S. arsenal (an increase in the number of cruise missiles) and more so by the qualitative changes (the appearance of intermediate-range ballistic missiles) or changes in doctrine (if the United States shows that it is ready to put under threat Chinese strategic nuclear forces, including its submarines).
The response to new challenges will also likely be primarily qualitative. In addition to the steps already mentioned, it's not impossible that Beijing might increase the operational readiness of its nuclear forces, or even adopt the doctrine of a retaliatory strike.
It's also possible that China will increase its nuclear arsenal. There's no point, however, in expecting Beijing to double its nuclear stockpile in the next ten years, or to strive for parity with the two existing nuclear superpowers. For the moment, these scenarios do not appear to be supported by the evidence. A departure from the principle of a "lean and effective" nuclear force would be too noticeable a change in Chinese military planning for it to pass unobserved.
The issue of the probable deployment of U.S. missiles in Asia and China's reaction to this will develop gradually. Washington will have to spend considerable time on the development and production of new types of missiles, as well as on talks with its allies. Beijing will observe and react to concrete steps taken by the United States.
Overall, China can view its chances in a potential intermediate-range missile race in Asia fairly confidently, thanks to its head start in the form of its existing arsenal, manufacturing capacity, convenient geographic location, and its chances of influencing Washington's allies.
At the same time, Beijing would have preferred to avoid all this. Apart from the financial costs, which are becoming increasingly undesirable amid an economic slowdown, China must take into account the overall strategic balance with the United States, which is still weighted in favor of the latter. Beijing still doesn't have a full-fledged nuclear triad, and in the event of an armed conflict, its ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) will most likely find themselves confined inside the first island chain, from which they will not be able to threaten the continental United States.
Under these conditions, China could be interested in talks with the United States on arms control, even though Beijing has previously said repeatedly that it is not. But the asymmetry in the risks and interests, and the lack of an obvious subject for limitation and of enthusiasm on the U.S. side for talks on a truly equal footing mean that such talks are very unlikely. In this sense, replication of the 1979 NATO double-track decision that followed the Euromissile Crisis would be impossible, both because the U.S. allies are not on board, and because Washington is not going after a specific Chinese system or even range of systems, but rather is trying to reverse the shift in the overall military balance in Asia-Pacific.
Nor is Washington showing any interest in another diplomatic initiative: Russia's proposal to the United States that the two countries agree to a moratorium on the deployment of intermediate-range missiles following the termination of the INF treaty. Despite the U.S. lack of interest, Moscow still does not intend to roll out new types of missiles (including, it seems, in Asia) until the United States does so.
The Russian proposal of a moratorium opens up new opportunities for Moscow and Beijing to consult with each other and coordinate their response to the probable deployment of U.S. missiles in the Asia-Pacific region. Russia's deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, took part in talks in Beijing devoted to arms control on November 27. The task facing Russian diplomats is to avoid turning a response to U.S. actions (including possible mutual non-deployment in Europe) into an irritant in Russia-China relations.

Going boating is a great time with friends and family; however, if you have a pet, then it can be even better. Going boating with your dog can be such a fun time, but it's important that you remember all of the items that you need. In our past blogs, Prepare To Take Your Puppy Out Boating and Boating Safety With Pets, we went over some safety tips for your animals when you're out on the water. Our boating blogs about pets go over safety information that will keep Fluffy safe as well as the rest of your family or friends while on a pontoon boat. In today's blog, we'll be covering a few things that you shouldn't forget if you're going boating with your pet. If you want to go boating with your pets, then we recommend contacting us for a boating membership.
It's difficult to remember all of the items that you need to bring for yourself, but it can be even harder when you need to bring everything for your dog as well. However, it's vital that you remember all of the items that you need to bring for your pet when you go boating. These items are important because you'll want to keep your animal safe as well as yourself.
As a pet owner, you know that you should bring a leash everywhere; however, if your pet is so well-behaved that a leash isn't a necessity, you may forget to bring one every now and again. While we believe that Fido is well-behaved, we recommend bringing a leash to ensure that no accidents occur on the boat as well as Freedom Boat Club. A leash will keep everyone safe, so don't forget to bring while when you go boating on Lake Lanier.
Another item to remember to bring is doggie bags. Nature can call while you're out boating and it's best that you have a plan ready if that's the case. If your pet is not housebroken, then it'll be difficult for them to go to the bathroom because they'll be reluctant. On the other hand, it can be hard for animals that are not housebroken to not go on the boat. The best option should be purchasing or bringing doggie bags to ensure the boat stays free of defecation.
Everyone needs water, your pet included. Water is one of the most important items that you can bring on the boat because dehydration with anyone can be very dangerous — animal or human. Water will keep everyone hydrated and healthy while out in the sun all day long. Water should be brought for your dog as well as everyone on board. You can purchase a collapsible bowl for your dog or bring your own. Whatever the case may be, it's vital that you bring water no matter if the weather outside is beautiful and sunny or dreary and cloudy.
Make sure that your dog has identification on him or her. Identification should be worn all of the time just in case your dog decides to take off to chase that squirrel while on land or because they heard a noise. Identification should include your primary number on the pet's tag. You can also get a microchip put beneath the skin of the animal to avoid any mishaps in case the tag falls off or is lost. A microchip can be read by vets and is a great way to keep track of your dog.
Lastly, one of the most important items to bring is a life jacket. A life jacket is important for everyone on board to wear because it can save a person's or an animal's life. Life jackets can be great if the dog jumps overboard or if he or she falls overboard. There are many life jackets for dogs out there, which offers you the opportunity to find the perfect option for your animal. No matter what type of dog you may have, he or she should wear a life jacket because it's the safest, especially if the water is choppy.
Stay tuned for our next blog to ensure that you, your family, and friends, as well as the dog is ready to go boating on Lake Lanier.


Parenting plans establish the rights and duties of each parent in the care of the children. When the parents agree on these issues, a parenting plan can be drafted with the help of the attorneys that represent each parent, for final approval by a judge.
The parenting plan, once entered by a judge, is a court order that requires compliance from each parent. Changes can only be made through a legal modification to the court order. A parenting plan will outline the time the child spends at each home, how they will be transported, how school vacations and holidays will be shared, and how all of the significant parenting decisions will be made.
Coming to a compromise that is agreeable to both parents outside of court can be an advantage; as such a plan may better suit the unique needs and circumstances of all involved.

I need tipsy integrated below those 7 bullets.
Those bullets are from previous orbit slider.
This is the modified orbit plugin js code.
Here is the cource code.Source code
The problem is when i click view source i'm not seeing source code of those bullets. Because html are coded within javascript.
They are not appear in the html source. So tipsy plugin not recognizing it.

     $("ul.orbit-bullets li").tipsy({gravity: 'n'});
});

The application of modern molecular biological techniques to the study of human tumors in the past two decades has demonstrated that cancer is a genetic disease. Strucalterations in genomic DNA (point mutation, gene rearrangement, and gene deletion), which result in alterations in protein coding sequences or their expression, have been found in every human neoplasm studied. The finding of these genetic alterations in invasive cancers and in their histologically identifiable neoplastic precursor lesions, but not in the nonneoplastic tissues from which they arose, is consistent with the theory that neoplastic progression is the result of the clonal evolution of cellular populations accompanying a selection for mutations (1,2). Germ-line mutations in specific genes are also responsible for many cases in which there is a familial predisposition to cancer (3), further underscoring the genetic basis of cancer.

The ultimate guide to tipping while traveling

Melanie Lieberman is the managing editor for global features and manages destination, hotel, cruise and product features and news. Formerly a Travel + Leisure editor, her work appears in Bloomberg Pursuits, Jetsetter, Saveur and others.
Editor's note: This is a recurring post, regularly updated with new information and offers.
Even the most seasoned travelers may find that tipping while traveling can be a complicated and stressful decision.
After all, most of us want to thank the right people for great service and don't want to stiff underpaid employees who might be depending on the gratuities. However, we also don't want to double pay for service charges already included in our bills, or inadvertently insult someone in a foreign country.
So, who deserves a tip, and when and where should you give it? Also, how much should you tip?
Tipping customs vary greatly depending on where you are in the world, and what sort of travel you are doing. For hotels, tipping can be dependent on the room rate, the level of service and the details of your stay. (Did you refuse housekeeping for the duration of your trip? Or did you trash the room with a massive all-night party?)
For more TPG news delivered each morning to your inbox, sign up for our daily newsletter.
Changes created during the coronavirus pandemic have also impacted the world of tipping. Housekeepers, for example, may have much more extensive cleaning regimens even though they might not touch your room during your stay. Also, short-staffed hotels may add more responsibilities for already overworked employees.
TPG has covered the topic of tipping extensively — providing a tipping guide for cruise ships, hotels and airport staff.
To help you decide whether you should leave cash on your nightstand or if you should skip the extra payment altogether, we put together this ultimate guide to tipping while traveling.
Who to tip at hotels
Many experts agree that you should tip housekeeping $3 to $5 per day, depending on the length of your stay, your room rate, the level of service and how much of a mess you make.
"These are the hardest-working people in the hotel, and the least recognized," said Tom Waithe, the vice president of operations for Kimpton Hotels in the Pacific Northwest and Mountain Region.
You should, however, be on the lookout for hidden housekeeping fees that some hotels have been adding on to room charges, sometimes up to $40 a day. In these cases a gratuity should not be expected (although it is still possible the hotels are not sharing these fees with staff).
Typically, luggage attendants who help you with your bags should receive $1 per bag. Round up for large groups of bags, if the attendant must take multiple trips, or handle fragile or special-request items.
For car valets, typically a couple of dollars will be fine, more if the valet delivers on a rush-request. If you're staying at a hotel for a while, and expect to use your car often, start the valet out with a larger tip, ten dollars or so, and explain your situation — you'll likely get your car parked closer and delivered ahead of other people's cars daily.
Butlers and concierges can also receive tips. You can determine how much depending on what services they've delivered for you. Tipping the head doorperson at a hotel can also be a way to get improved service during a longer visit.
Who doesn't need a tip at a hotel, then? The people delivering room service meals where a (usually hefty) service charge has already been added to the tab. The exception would be the rare cases when gratuity isn't included, or if you've asked the staff for some out-of-the-ordinary services.

Tipping around the world
"Tipping abroad is so much more than converting currencies. Many countries and cultures each adopt their own nuanced take on this, at times, delicate matter," Tom Marchant, co-founder of the luxury travel company Black Tomato told TPG.
In some countries, like Australia, tipping is "not a common transaction," Marchant said, and it can even make recipients a bit uncomfortable.
China doesn't have a tipping culture, either. In Japan, tipping is actually frowned upon.
You should distribute tips as you do in the U.S. when visiting most of Europe, touristy areas of Mexico, the Caribbean (assuming you're not bedding down at an all-inclusive) and Canada. Tipping is also customary in India and the Middle East.
In Central and South America, leaving small change in the local currency is greatly appreciated. If you're traveling to Africa, expect more intricacies, depending on whether or not you're on safari or staying at an urban property in a major city.
The bottom line? If you're really unsure what's customary, feel free to ask around or err on the side of being overly generous.
When to tip on an all-inclusive vacation
Daily service charges are typically included in your bill if you're on a cruise or staying in an all-inclusive resort. However, check your folio carefully or inquire with the front desk upon check-in. Also, look at what's included in those hated resort fees, even for non-inclusive properties.
Most traditional all-inclusive resorts, like Sandals in the Caribbean, include gratuity, Lindsey Epperly Sulek, the founder of Epperly Travel and a Caribbean travel expert, told TPG.
If gratuities are not included, you can follow the same basic hotel guidelines: $1 per bag for the bellhop, $5 per day for housekeeping (left every day), nothing extra for room service (it's included on the bill) and a sliding scale for concierges, depending on the difficulty of the task.
If you're taking a tour from an all-inclusive resort, out for a safari, for example, you should be tipping your guides and the driver.

Tipping staff during a cruise
Whether they're called service or gratuity charges, many cruise lines automatically charge passengers a fee — sometimes as much as $25.50 per person, per day — that's designed to replace cash tipping. It's a policy in place to relieve guests of the obligation or worry about when and where to present gratuities.
In addition to "front of house" crew members, such as wait staff and room attendants, cruise lines say service fees are distributed to a wide array of crew. You can pay these fees in advance, or with your onboard bill.
You may also be able to adjust the rate up or down by visiting the guest relations desk during your sailing. Telling guest relations about a staff member who has provided a special service can have a bigger impact upon that person's salary than a small gratuity — but they'll likely be happy to receive that as well.
If you find yourself on a rare sailing that doesn't include gratuity, or you want to tip for service that's above and beyond, be sure to bring cash or ask that the gratuity be charged to your card. There may also be a tip box by the reception desk.
Have a favorite bartender aboard a ship, or are the valets going out of their way to help you? An extra gratuity paid early on your trip will go a long way to ensure your above-average services continue throughout your vacation.

Tipping flight attendants and airport employees
Generally, airline employees like flight attendants are not allowed to accept any tips on the job. However, airport staff — often hourly workers who rely on your generosity to help pay the bills — are permitted to do so.
One notable exception is Frontier Airlines, which implemented an inflight tipping program.
Airline employee unions have fought against allowing flight attendants to accept tips, which seems counter-intuitive until you realize labor laws allow employers to pay sub-minimum wages if the employees are assumed to be receiving gratuities on a regular basis. Don't be insulted if flight attendants refuse your tip offers — they're doing so to protect their salaries.
Many airlines provide ways passengers can recognize services provided by flight attendants and other employees, like Southwest's Commend an Employee program, where you can leave positive comments online. This may have a more positive impact than the dollar tips you offered for your gin and tonic.

Trump's popularity with his base is giving him running room

Democrats and the White House continue battles over the release of President Trump's taxes and his plans for the border, a growing field of Democratic presidential candidates highlights divisions in the party, and the arrest of Julian Assange sets up a debate around the First Amendment. Hari Sreenivasan speaks with special correspondent Jeff Greenfield to put the week in politics in perspective.
Read the Full Transcript
Hari Sreenivasan:
Potential showdowns between Capitol Hill and the White House. And emerging debate among Democratic contenders about who and what they will offer the voters. And an arrest that has traditional First Amendment allies divided. These are some of the week's stories that caught the attention of NewsHour Weekend Special Correspondent. Jeff Greenfield who joins us from Santa Barbara. Jeff, let's start about the tensions between both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue here, we have a couple of different examples.
Jeff Greenfield:
Tax returns are the first most obvious one. The the chair of the Democratically-controlled House Ways and Means Committee says he wants Trump's tax returns by April 23rd and a federal law compels Treasury to release them. The Treasury Department says we're not so sure, the White House is you'll never see these returns because it's a fishing expedition, you have no real reason to have them. (UNTEL) goes back to the fact that Trump is the first presidential candidate since Richard Nixon, going back to him, not to release tax returns.
The second is the Mueller report. We're supposed to see a version of that report this week. We don't know how much of it will be as they say, redacted. The Democrats in Congress say we want to see the whole thing and we have a right to do that. That could wind up as a court tussle. And last, this sort of bizarre story that Trump asked the incoming head of Homeland Security to close the border on his own, which is flatly not what the law says. My guess is the Democrats may well say, we want some hearings to find out how true that is. There's a lot of potential tension here.
This is part of a longer pattern in the Trump administration?
It's a pattern also among Republicans. I mean traditionally people in Congress are very jealous of their prerogatives. And even if a president of their own party does something that they see as executive overreach, they'll slap that down. But in this case again and again we've seen Republicans particularly in the Senate, which they still control, to kind of give Trump running room on what in other cases might be seen as an overreach.
Remember, when he declared a national emergency so he could fund a border wall that the Congress wouldn't provide money for? Normally, Congress might say, no, no that's not in your power to do. But in my view, Trump is so popular with the Republican base that Republicans in Congress are willing to give Trump room to do what in other cases they would have said no, you're reaching on our power. That's a bit unusual.
You know, today the Democratic field for president got a little wider. South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg enters the race. Do you see kind of the framing of what's happening in that larger field that important conversation about the party finding itself?
Always with the caveat that at this point it's ludicrous to try to figure out who's emerging as a potential strong or weak nominee. But we are seen as a kind of division between the more progressive elements of the party and the more centrist ones. Bernie Sanders, for instance, unveiled his Medicare-for-all policy, which is flat out a very radical restructuring of American health care essentially abolishing private insurance. Other Democrats I think Amy Klobuchar say, no we can't afford that, let's take a look at Obamacare and expand that.
The other more intriguing question for me as you know, we always say that the next president is always going to be different from the last one. So if you look at the Democratic field, how do you define who's different from Trump? If it's experience in Washington, the obvious answer is Joe Biden. If it's somebody who contrasts with Trump's appeal to the white world working class elements in the country that would you know, that would be somebody like a woman, a woman of color. If you're looking at somebody who contrasts with Trump's kind of street brawler approach to politics then it's kind of a conciliatory voice like a Pete Buttigieg or (UNTEL). We're not going to know that for a while but it's interesting to see what kind of contrasts the Democrats plan to offer both in terms of substance and personality.
And finally, Julian Assange, his defense is, I'm a journalist, this is all about free speech?
Will you see what's interesting is that you've got the editorial pages of The Washington Post, The New York Times which you'd think would ordinarily rally around anyone accused by the government of leaking secrets defending him and they're not. Thee are saying no, this isn't like the Pentagon Papers this is a case they say, where Assange was trying to help (UNTEL- Private Manning?) break into a computer.
But there are other people who say, wait a minute, if you start going after, criminally going after people who are dealing with documents they shouldn't have, I mean, that opens a big door to potentially prosecuting journalists. So we're seeing a division between normal allies. I think it goes back to the fact that in 2016 Assange was widely seen as more or less helping the Trump campaign by leaking Hillary Clinton's e-mails while not leaking information about Russian interference. So it's an unusual kind of First Amendment debate we're about to see.
All right. Jeff Greenfield joining us from Santa Barbara. Thanks so much.
Thank you, Hari.

As will Hardline and the upcoming Battlefield 1.
Battlefield 4, Hardline, and the upcoming Battlefield 1 are to get new user interfaces, a post on the Battleblog reveals. This new UI has been designed to "improve the experience of playing with friends", and will allow you to "easily swap" between all three games, providing you own them.
Along with a recommendation engine that will suggest maps and modes you might like to play, you'll be able to create a squad before entering the game. The new UI is now rolling out in beta form for select Battlefield 4 owners, with more testing opportunities "in the coming months". It sounds like the new UI will be in Battlefield 1 at launch on October 21, and then will come to Hardline soon after, so I'd expect the new UI to be consistent across all current Battlefields by the end of the year.
