Unique Irish Tours will combine the two greatest literary celebrations in Ireland--Yeats's birthday festivities in Sligo and the Bloomsday celebrations in Dublin--into a truly memorable tour.
June 13th is the birthday of ireland's greatest poet, William Butler Yeats, and Sligo is the place to celebrate it. No landscape in all of Ireland was so evocative or as important as Sligo in shaping Yeats's literary imagination, and we will experience this special place as he did--through the beautiful scenery and the myths and legends that inspired Yeats's life and works.
June 16th is the day on which James Joyce's great novel Ulysses takes place. Each year here are events and celebrations all around the world to mark the anniversary. No place does it better than Dublin, where the novel is set and where you can still follow in the footsteps of Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus. Join us for the 109th anniversary celebration with Joycean fans from all over the world. There's ample opportunity for other Dublin delights, too, such as sightseeing, shopping, and pub-crawling.

Join us for the 1119th anniversary celebration with Joycean fans from all over the world. There's ample opportunity for other Dublin delights, too, such as sightseeing, shopping, and pub-crawling.
Led by Yeats and Joyce scholar, teacher, and writer, Daniel Burt, we will take advantage of the variety of talks, tours, and special events scheduled around Yeats Day and Bloomsday. We will literally walk through the seetings that inspired Yeats and the Joyce's stories in Dubliners and the scenes of Portrait of the Artist as well as walking in the footsteps of Bloom and Stephen on their epic day-long odyssey around Dublin, culminating in one of the world's greatest literary celebrations on Bloomsday itself.
Yeats Day in Sligo and Bloomsday in Dublin should be on everyone's bucket list. Join us for a unique celebration of all things Yeats, Joyce, and Ireland.
Pick up at Dublin Airport for the three hour drive to Sligo on Ireland's magnificent northwest coast, the heart of Yeats Country and the landscape that inspired Ireland's greatest poet. Stopping for lunch on the way, we will check into our hotel to rest before the welcoming dinner and a beach walk at Rosses Point and traditional Irish music in a classic Sligo pub to follow.
After an orientation to the life and work of W.B. Yeats, we will take a coach tour of the scenery that inspired Yeats and is featured in many of his greatest poems: Rosses Point, Dooney Rock, Lough Gill, the Lake Isle of Inishfree, and Glencar Falls. Lunch will be in the seaside village of Mullaghmore before taking in the rugged beauty of Mullaghmore Head and the Gleniff Horseshoe. Our last stop before returning to Sligo town will be at Yeats's grave in Drumcliff Churchyard.
Dinner at a private home overlooking Lough Gill, hosted by Yeats's expert and former president of the Yeats's society, Damien Brennan. This is always a highpoint of our tours.
After a visit to the neolithic tombs at Carrowmore and an optional hike up Knocknarea to Queen Maeve's Tomb and its breathtaking views, the afternoon is free to enjoy various recreational activities from golfing, hillwalking, seaweed bathing, horseback riding, or shopping and relaxing.
Evening walking tour of Sligo town, followed by a traditional music seisun at a local pub.
Participate in Sligo's all-day (and into the night) Yeats Day celebrations, including readings, lectures, art exhibits, music, an Edwardian street fair, and all manner of activities honoring Yeats.
Today we depart for Dublin, with a stop for coffee or tea at Markree Castle. After checking in to our hetel, dinner will be provided, followed by an evening historical stroll and Joycean pub crawl.
A Joycean City Tour that begins with a Joycean literary tour of Glasnevin Cemetery (where the "Hades" chapter of Ulysses is set) before driving up to the seaside village of Howth (where Bloom proposed to Molly and she responded with her resounding "Yes"). Lunch is in Howth before returning to the city centre and a tour of the Joyce Centre and a walking tour to Eccles Street where Leopold Bloom lived and where there are many important sites related to Joyce's life and works. Our Joycean tour ends with a pre-Bloomsday briefing in preparation of tomorrow's big day.
The Bloomsday celebration starts early at 8.00 am on Eccles Street where "Leopold Bloom" will take us through the "Calypso" chapter of the novel, retracing Bloom's purchasing a pork kidney on nearby Dorset Street. We will follow Bloom into the city center with readings along the way at important Joyce sites before a recreation of the "Lotus-Eaters" chapter of Ulysses. The afternoon will feature more recreations and readings and encounters with Joycean enthusiasts from around the world. A highpoint of every year's Bloomsday celebration is a dramatic performance at Wynn's Hotel followed by your opportunity to read your favorite passage from Joyce before a roomful of Dublin's Joyceans. The evening ends downstairs in Wynn's bar with recounting of the day's many adventures.
Today is your opportunity to sleep in, shop, or tour a multitude of Dublin sights: the National Museum, the National Gallery, the National Library, Kilmainham Gaol. an Easter 1916 historical walk, shopping along Grafton, Nassau, and Kildare streets, returning to that one last pub that you swore you would revisit.
The evening features a gala farewell dinner.
What a Past Participant Says . . .
-the Grand Finale at Wynn's where we you get to read your favorite passage!
We finished this incredible week with a day trip to Glendalough. If you truly love Ulysses you can't afford to miss Bloomsday in Dublin and you can't afford to do so without Dan and Deborah.

Agostic or not? Detailed Density Functional Theory studies of the compounds [LRh(CO)Cl], [LRh(COD)Cl] and [LRhCl] (L = cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene, COD = cyclooctadiene)†
Jörg Saßmannshausen‡*a
a University of Strathclyde, WestCHEM, Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry, 295 Cathedral Street, Glasgow, UK
Detailed Density Functional Theory (DFT) studies were conducted on the rhodium compounds [LRh(CO)Cl] (1), [LRhCl] (2) and [LRh(COD)Cl] (3) (L = cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene, CAAC; COD = cyclooctadiene). Particular attention was paid to the two cyclohexyl hydrogens of the CAAC which are in close proximity to the metal centre. Bader and NBO analyses confirmed an agostic interaction, and NBO analysis revealed that in the case of 1, the Rh–COantibonding orbital acts as an acceptor. Removal of the CO ligand (2) did not significantly change the agostic interaction of the two cyclohexyl hydrogens or the geometry of the cyclohexyl ligand. Replacement of the 2e− donor CO with the 4e− donor COD gives a different picture. Although both cyclohexyl hydrogens are still in close proximity to the metal centre, neither are agostically bound to it. In fact, the very weak interaction of one of them is of the same order as that present in the Cl–H bond. We thus suggest a revised description of agostic bonding.

Join us for our Christie at Oldham Open Day and Tour – 8th June 2019
May 30, 2019 /0 Comments/in News /by Oldham Cares
The Royal Oldham Hospital is inviting local residents and trust members to join them for a free open day and behind the scenes tour of The Christie at Oldham.
This free event is one of a series of Medicine for Members events, which are intended to give local residents an insight into key elements of the hospital's daily work.
The Christie at Oldham open day will take place on Saturday 8th June, 9am – 12noon in The Christie Centre, which is based at The Royal Oldham Hospital.
The event will give delegates the opportunity to find out more about the services provided at The Christie. It will cover the medical provision available, tell delegates how treatment is planned and delivered, provide details about complementary and support services available on site, and will give people the opportunity to go behind the scenes to view the equipment and technology close up.
The Christie at Oldham was the first in a unique network of Christie radiotherapy centres, where patients are able to access first class radiotherapy treatment from Christie experts closer to home. Since it opened in March 2010, the centre has expanded its services enormously, increasing access and support available for local patients.
The centre now treats between 90-100 patients per day from the local area including patients from Bury, Middleton, North Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Tameside and further afield. It treats patients with a large range of cancers, with more rare and complex cancers still treated at the main Christie site in Withington, South Manchester.
Julie Davies, Lead Radiographer at The Christie at Oldham, said: "Engaging with the local community is of great importance to staff at the centre and key to informing the public about the work that The Christie does. We are continually striving to improve our service and the quality of care our patients receive, and we welcome the opportunity to invite people through our doors.
"So many people have supported the centre since we opened in 2010, and as we approach our 10th birthday, it would be wonderful to see old friends and new. Even if you've previously taken a tour, please come and visit us anyway. We would like to welcome you to the centre, update you on how we are continuing to improve services and show our thanks for all the support that has been given over the years."
Everyone is welcome to join The Christie team at this free event on Saturday 8th June, 9am – 12noon. To book your place, please call: 0161 918 7700 or e-mail:fundraising@christie.nhs.uk and state how many places you would like to book.
For any media enquiries, please contact Josie Neil, Communications and Engagement Lead on: 0161 6278703 or by e-mail: josie.neil@pat.nhs.uk.

Jackie Walker was a former vice-chair of the hard-left political grouping Momentum inside the Labour Party.
The UK Labour Party, which has been beset by claims of institutional antisemitism and a failure to deal with it, has expelled a prominent member and party activist for antisemitic comments she made in 2016.
Walker was originally suspended by the Labour Party in May 2016 following her original comments, but was reinstated shortly thereafter. She was suspended again in October that year for her comments about International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
In a statement to the press on Wednesday, a Labour Party spokesperson said that the National Constitutional Committee found the charges of breaches of Party rules by Jackie Walker to have been proven.
"The National Constitutional Committee consequently determined that the sanction for this breach of the rules is expulsion from Labour Party membership," reads the statement.
The case presented by the party to the NCC was about a pattern of behavior displayed by Jackie Walker over time, including many comments on social media of a problematic nature.
The Jewish Labour Movement (JLM), a formal affiliate of the Labour Party, expressed frustration with the lengthy amount of time – nearly three years since her first suspension – that it took to deal with Walker's comments.
"Despite a clear and unambiguous case of prejudicial and grossly detrimental behavior against the Party, this expulsion comes two and a half years too late," said the JLM.


Adored daughter of Paul and Julie. Beloved sister of Ben, Nick and Anita.
CASSIE's family and friends are warmly invited to attend a Celebration of her Life to be held this FRIDAY (10th August 2018) at St Joseph Catholic Church Moorebank, cnr of Newbridge and Nuwarra Rds commencing at 12 pm midday.

Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition
Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition news
New Minecraft learning experience, Active Citizen, is now available
Leri Koen
Microsoft recently announced a new immersive educational experience coming to Minecraft. Windows announced this new Minecraft experience, titled Active Citizen, at a launch event held at the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, Norway.
Dignitaries worldwide attended the launch, including His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Wanjira Mathai, Chairperson of the Wangari Maathai Foundation, and Vidar Helgesen, Executive Director of the Nobel Foundation. Showing just how much support the project has gathered. Many of the participants were also given a chance to try out the immersive experience for themselves.
This learning experience takes the player on an interactive journey to learn more about what it takes to make a positive difference in the world. During the journey, the player will get a chance to meet Alfred Nobel and learn more about what the Nobel prize is and how people can receive one of these coveted titles.
Players will also meet four other Nobel Prize laureates and can help them on their journey to make the world a better place. The four laureates included are Malala Yousafzai, Wangari Maathai, Fridtjof Nansen, and the 14th Dalai Lama, and players can interact and learn from their virtual characters in Active Citizen. After helping the laureates, the player will have to identify a need within their community. Then they need to create a unique Minecraft build that represents their vision of peace for their community.
Active Citizen is available on Minecraft: Education Edition for students between 8 to 16. It also includes additional resources such as lesson plans, discussion guides, and more for teachers to use in the classroom. A free demo version will also come later this month for other Minecraft players.
Compassion and empathy are critical skills that all children should learn. This immersive experience teaches children good values and how they can make a positive change in their communities. Good on Microsoft for thinking outside the box and making learning fun and immersive on the popular Minecraft platform. In the meantime, gamers are still enjoying the new snapshot update to the Minecraft: Java Edition.

One big thing that surrounds every couple in a long-term relationship is the idea of the proposal, which of course also entails that a wedding, and probably a honeymoon, would follow. How one proposes is not a minor dilemma at all, and almost anyone who has, has tried to come up with a perfect, original and unique idea for how to pull it off. Recently this one guy did a pretty good job when he proposed to his girlfriend.
Sidd Sinha was told by his girlfriend, Melanie Diaz, that she had had a dream in which he proposed to her in no other place than a grocery store. Obviously, this gave Sidd a great direction, and considering a proposal was basically inevitable down the line, he decided to go all out with the grocery store 'theme'. What that means is that he didn't just do a random proposal at the first grocery, but he orchestrated an entire show.
The proposal was to take place in a Trader Joe's in New York, and Sidd's idea was to organize a tour that would take Melanie to a trip down the couple's memory lane. In other words, the tour offered documentation of the couple's big moments in their relationship thus far, and it made use of all of the three floors of the shop. Apparently, Sidd wanted to make it unique. Sidd certainly accomplished his mission.
This is what Sidd had to say regarding his motivation for the proposal, as well as his plan for the way it was going to go down: "We both knew that I was going to propose at some point, and because that element of the surprise wasn't there, I wanted to make it special." Still, the situation had elements of surprise. The day started with a trip to Central Park followed by a walk that got 'interrupted'.
What happened is that as the couple was on their way to a bar where Sidd planned to watch the Houston Rockets game in the playoffs, he asked Melanie to enter a Trader Joe's in order to get some items: "We were walking toward the bar, and he goes, 'Oh look, your favorite store, Trader Joe's. And he starts talking about how we need to go grocery shopping", says Melanie.
One of the first details meant to tip Melanie off was a sign inside the store that read 'When coffee meets bagel, a perfect combination for any great start' - which referred to the way the couple met each other, i.e. the dating app called Coffee Meets Bagel: "At first, I didn't really know what was happening, but I had a feeling something was going on with how the signs were all applying to me and to our relationship", stated Melanie.
What followed was the sound of Melanie's favorite song 'Lady Marmalade,' and an employee handing out flowers. Next, the two of them were met with cups of chocolate-covered almonds, which are their favorites, but most importantly, the first one included an engagement ring. When Melanie took a look at the final sign, what she read was 'Melanie, Will You Marry Me?' Of course, her answer was yes. She describes the whole ordeal as a dream coming true.

Q: How to do a Join query using the pivot table and another table using the FK I have set up my relationships like below
User model
public function branches()
{
    return $this->belongsToMany('Branch', 'branch_user', 'user_id', 'branch_id');
}

public function reservations() {
    return $this->hasMany('Reservation');
}

Branch Model
public function users()
{
    return $this->belongsToMany('User', 'branch_user', 'branch_id', 'user_id');
}

Reservation Model
public function branches() {
    return $this->BelongsTo('Branch');
}

A branch has many reservations and a branch belongs to a branch.
Please How can I do the below query
select table_number from reservations r
JOIN branches b
ON b.id = r.branch_id
JOIN branch_staff bs
ON bs.branch_id = b.id
WHERE bs.user_id = 1

using Eloquent?
I have done the above query like this
DB::table('reservations')
->join('branches', 'branches.id', '=', 'reservations.branch_id')
->join('branch_staff', 'branch_staff.branch_id', '=', 'branches.id')
->where ('branch_staff.user_id', '=', Auth::user()->id)
->select('reservations.table_number', 'reservations.active')
->orderBy('reservations.table_number', 'asc')
->get();

using the query builder.
Relationship

But how can I do this using Eloquent especially when I have define the relationship?

A: First of all, I think you may have set your models up incorrectly. From your SQL it looks like a user has one branch, not many. And if a reservation belongs to a branch you would call the method 'branch' and not 'branches'.
I would set the models up like so:
User model
public function branch()
{
    return $this->belongsTo('Branch');
}

Branch Model
public function users()
{
    return $this->hasMany('User');
}

public function reservations()
{
    return $this->hasMany('Reservation');
}

Reservation Model
public function branch() {
    return $this->belongsTo('Branch');
}

You can then grab a list of ordered Auth::user()table numbers for a branch staff member with the following code:
$tableNumbers = Auth::user()->branch->reservations()->orderby('reservations.table_number', 'asc')->lists('table_number');

A: This Answer wouldn't be possible without @Vokemike
I kept getting collections error with $reservations that was because branches returns a collection so to solved this I had to loop over it and this was how I did it
$user_branch = Auth::user()->branches;

    foreach ($user_branch as $branch) {
       return $branch->reservations()->orderby('reservations.table_number', 'asc')->lists('table_number');
 }

So you wanna go on a bike tour. Maybe you have a travel destination in mind, or maybe you are open to the many possibilities of traveling Europe by bike. Lucky for you, BikeTours.com can help out with either end of that adventure spectrum.
You can start immediately with our Tour Search, or you can do some upfront research. If you haven't quite pinned down your ideal locale, here are some questions that might help you pinpoint your perfect destination.
1. Where do I want to go?
Do you have special interests like castles, medieval architecture, wine, or regional cuisine?
Do you prefer mountains, forests, plains, rivers, or the sea?
Do you want a "familiar" setting or one that is more exotic and perhaps even challenging?
Do you like hot weather or a more temperate climate?
Would you prefer countries where English is the primary language?
2. Do I want a guided or a self-guided tour?
Most tours come in two flavors: guided and self-guided. Or, put simply, group and individual.
Guided group tours have long been the norm for American bike travelers in Europe. On most tours, one guide rides with the group, while a second guide drives a support van. Everything is planned out: hotels, routes, meals, luggage transfers, sightseeing tours, and so on. The guides point out places of interest, organize excursions and activities, and assist in case there are breakdowns (mechanical or human).
Self-guided individual tours are popular with European travelers and with increasing numbers of American cyclists. Self-guided tours are a money-saving alternative — and often preferable to traveling with a group.
Self-guided does NOT mean that you're totally on your own. The tour operator still organizes hotel reservations and luggage transportation from hotel to hotel. The accommodations are usually the same as on guided tours. You even often follow the same routes.
Most tour operators provide you with a comprehensive information package with the marked route, a detailed route description, and tips on sights, cultural highlights, scenic stops, and recommended restaurants. Many tour operators offer a hotline in case of emergencies or problems.
If you prefer to be independent and to choose your traveling companions and daily schedule, consider a self-guided tour. But, also consider your comfort with speaking a foreign language, reading maps and signs, ordering food, and dealing with breakdowns and minor emergencies.
Since some self-guided tours have just two travelers — or even one — you should not count on riding with a group. For some people, this is part of what makes traveling fun. If you're not one of those people, a guided tour may be the better choice.
3. What's included in my tour?
4. What is my ability level?
Easy: Easy cycling in mostly flat terrain. Generally short distances (usually 18-25 miles per day).
Leisure: Relaxed cycling with occasional hills and distances up to 35 or 40 miles on some day. Average physical condition required.
Moderate: Generally rolling or hilly terrain with longer average daily distances. For cyclists in good physical condition.
Advanced: Extended and frequent climbs and longer daily distances. For experienced cyclists in above-average physical condition.
Most bicycle tourists enjoy traveling each day — cycling from Point A to Point B. The scenery changes and the experience of reaching a new destination is gratifying. Still, there's something to be said for staying overnight in one town and doing day trips: you don't have to pack each morning, you can settle in, and you can really get to know a location. And, if you don't feel like riding, you can rest or pursue another activity.
Although most tour operators offer only point-to-point tours, BikeTours.com also works with tour operators and local and regional tourist offices to offer "home base" tours. We also offer a number of bike and boat cruises, where your "floating hotel" moves with you, so you can stay on board instead of ride, if you wish, and watch the countryside drift by from the comfort of the deck.

Q: Nasty array of pointers with a typecast, Invalid Initializer error volatile uint32_t * sdramData = (volatile uint32_t *)0x30000100;

#define WIDTH  800

volatile uint32_t * im[WIDTH/4] = (volatile uint32_t **)sdramData;

The third line is the one giving me an error. I'm trying to make an array of int pointers that start at the location of sdramData. It's saying an invalid initializer error. Thanks for any help.

A: The initializer notation needs to be enclosed in braces and the values in the braces must be constants:
volatile uint32_t * im[WIDTH/4] = { sdramData };

This would initialize the first element of the array if sdramData was a constant (it isn't within the meaning of the term) and leave the others zeroed.
If you really want 200 consecutive 4-byte locations (about which I have my doubts — see below), you're going to have to produce 200 values to initialize the list (as standard C still doesn't have a repeat-count option for array initializers, sadly — GCC does, as an extension).
#define SDRAMBASE 0x30000100

#define INIT_x(x)  (SDRAMBASE + (x) * sizeof(uint32_t))
#define INIT_5(x)  INIT_x(x+0), INIT_x(x+1), INIT_x(x+2), INIT_x(x+3), INIT_x(x+4)
#define INIT_10(x) INIT_5(x+0), INIT_5(x+5)
#define INIT_50(x) INIT_10(x+0), INIT_10(x+10), INIT_10(x+20), INIT_10(x+30), INIT_10(x+40)

volatile uint32_t *im[WIDTH/4] =
{
    INIT_50(  0),
    INIT_50( 50),
    INIT_50(100),
    INIT_50(150),
};

Not pretty, but saves a lot of typing.  You can insert a (volatile uint32_t *) cast on the INIT_x expansion if you need it — you likely do.

An alternative interpretation
On the other hand, you can probably write an expression that simply uses SDRAMBASE to do the job without the array im:
#define im_ARRAY(i)  (*(volatile uint32_t *)(SDRAMBASE + (i) * sizeof(uint32_t)))

Now you can write (round brackets instead of square):
uint32_t x = im_ARRAY(43);

instead of:
uint32_t x = im[43];

In fact, you might even use:
#define im_ARRAY   ((volatile uint32_t *)SDRAMBASE)

and then you can write (square brackets as usual):
uint32_t x = im_ARRAY[43];

This looks more plausible as the desired effect.  Still not entirely nice, but relatively clean.

A: It's possible that what you're after is:
volatile uint32_t (*im)[4] = (volatile uint32_t (*)[4])sdramData;

If sdramData points to at least WIDTH uint32_t values, then this would make im[0..WIDTH/4 - 1][0..3] valid accesses.

I'm a slow learner at reading the coded descriptions in the Lonely Planet and should have known that a town described as a 'living museum' would be overrun and that its atmosphere would have suffered as a result. Hoi An is pretty but its charm has been eroded by the presence of too many tourists and the town's efforts to cater to the tastes of those tourists by lighting the place up like a Christmas tree, including, inexplicably, giant illuminated plastic statues of kittens in the river: a spectacle worthy of the Chinese. I'd arrived in the evening to the full glare of the town's illuminations but my second impression of Hoi An in the calm of the following morning was much better. Also, whilst restaurants were suddenly western prices, street kitchens were still ubiquitous and I had excellent chicken rice still for only about 70p. My disappointment at Hoi An's tarnished charm spurred me on to get away from my fellow tourists and go and explore more of the real Vietnam and I arranged to spend a couple of days on the back of a motorbike with an 'easyrider' biker, to explore the hill villages behind Hue. I also had a few sartorial matters to deal with in Hoi An, as I needed a dress for my brother's imminent wedding , and the town is brimming with tailors. I picked one that looked promising, 'Tina's', and set about picking styles and materials, had my measurements taken and arranged to come back after the bike ride.
I spent two wonderful days gripping on the back of a fairly powerful Honda, piloted by my eminently trustworthy and competent guide, Hai, who promised me, amongst other things, swims in waterfalls with no one else there, villages inhabited by 'minority peoples', and a friendly monkey. Hai is distinctly higher in the biker hierarchy than the men who rest horizontally on their motorbikes on street corners asking passers -by 'moto? Moto?' 'Where you go?' 'I take you where you wanna go'. He wore a shirt with collar, had a large and powerful bike and I felt in very capable hands. The trip had everything. We stopped regularly for various local treats from the roadside, like sugarcane juice, where a lady minced up sugar canes and somehow extracted the nectar-like liquid from inside. We had lunch of fat flat rice noodles in spicy soup with chicken, fresh herbs and bitter salad leaves, and broken up bits of rice cracker. I never quite knew where we were going or what to expect but every time we stopped, Hai would scamper off somewhere, bound off into the undergrowth, me trailing behind, to show me something with boyish enthusiasm. We stopped to see melons, pineapples, bananas and dragon fruit, all growing in one garden. He uprooted a small tree to show me the manioc root growing underneath, which people in the hills used to eat during the Vietnam war. We saw paddy fields where women in colourful loose cotton trouser and shirt combinations and conical hats toiled and we saw them lugging heavy baskets up the road, the menfolk notable by their absence. In traditional communities it is the women who do all the work, as well as child-rearing of course, whilst men gather together to drink tea and play cards. We crossed some terrifyingly precarious bridges to visit villages, where people were extremely welcoming and not at all bothered by my rather intrusive tramping around and peering into their huts and taking pictures. Inside peoples' homes they have an altar type arrangement, with the ubiquitous photo of Ho Chi Minh and Communist flag, sometimes a T.V, certificates to say that the children have been to school, and on the roof skulls of chickens, pigs and any other animals that have been eaten that year. A curious montage. Each village had a tall communal thatch hut on stilts, just like the one at the museum, and Hai told me that underneath the hut a buffalo would be slaughtered on special occasions. Hai led me off the track to deserted waterfalls to splash in, as promised, and we stopped overnight in a basic and rather down-at-heel-hotel in a town somewhere up in the mountains, where we were the only guests. For dinner, Hai bbq'd us venison cut into little bits on a grill over a clay pot with charcoal in. For breakfast, Hai even managed to find me fresh baguette, still warm, just the thing with omelette and Vietnamese coffee (rocket fuel). That day I got more waterfalls, as promised, enough to now make an entire calendar for 2010 of myself bikini-clad under a waterfall. I was also introduced to the friendly monkey, who belonged to a family and who's ignominious fate I learned was to be sold for $10 US for medicine. He was at least enjoying his last days, pulling the tail of the puppy and peeling lychees with exemplary skill and speed. One or two interesting things I noticed in some of the villages on the way back to Hoi An: many of the villages announced themselves to the visitor with large, colourful banners straddling the road, presumably put up by the government, and certainly give you a sense of having arrived somewhere, even if it is somewhere fairly nondescript. I saw several obviously new, brightly painted public buildings, like schools, so the government is clearly spending money on countryside communities. I also saw one or two large and elaborate houses on streets of very simple dwellings. Hai told me those probably belonged to the few lucky ones who had managed to strike lucky sifting for gold in the river and who would also give money from their fortune to their village. Everywhere we stopped the women asked Hai the same 3 questions: was I married, did I have a boyfriend and how old was I? My average age was put at about 18.
We got back to Hoi An in time for a final fitting at the tailors, which felt especially decadent after two windblown days in the hills, and then the sleeper bus down the coast to Mui Ne for a dose of horizontal time on the beach.

Divers' Spotlight
What Are the Andaman and Nicobar Islands?
By Todd Williams November 28, 2018
Here at Deepblu we talk about islands a lot. They are, as we all know, surrounded by water, and we are, as you all know, a scuba company. There are some, however, that we shouldn't visit.
For instance, if you've been anywhere besides under a rock recently, you'll know that you probably shouldn't visit North Sentinel Island.
That said, there are places in the region which are well open to visitors. Over at Planet Deepblu we have plenty of opportunities on the Andaman Sea that will end in a good time instead of, well, what happened to that guy on North Sentinel. The islands are technically part of India, but have their own sort of vibe going on. With over six hundred in the archipelago, unique cultures, foods, and ways to simultaneously learn and relax can take a lifetime to fully explore, even though only nine islands are open to the public, all in the Andamans. Furthermore, tourism in the region is fairly new. As such, you have a chance to be an ambassador to isolated people by being a kind, conservation-minded tourist from the outside world. There are some lovely options when exploring the chain.

While heavily damaged in areas by the 2004 earthquake and subsequent tsunamis, this unique marine park, spanning fifteen islands, is on the recovery and opens doors to ecosystems unique to the region. Established in 1983, the park's goal is to maintain an area for protected corals to thrive while also providing a safe nesting ground for turtles.

You're bound to hit this one because, well, it's the only way in and out of the Andaman Islands. Full of tourist attractions and a prime spot to start a dive holiday, this town of roughly 100,000 people has a lot to offer before you head out into the wild. As the capital of the Andamans, it has drawn folks from all over India and the world with its lushness and pace of life. When in the city make sure to check out the history, with the Cellular Jail, Japanese Bunkers, and Anthropological Museum being hotspots for visitors. The Samudrika Naval Museum is a great choice for those of us with a more seafaring view of things.
South Button Island National Park
Shallow water reefs make for excellent scuba opportunities here in a lush coral landscape. While it may get a bit crowded at times, it's not without reason. The island is a great place to see barracuda, rays, and other breathtaking species. Off in the distance, if you're lucky, you might even spot a blue whale.
If you're looking for a real escape, this is a place where you can truly lose the world for as long as you'd like. Unlike the other island we think of when we think "Long Island," this small beachy patch is great for those with a thirst for adventure. Mangroves, caves, and corals are here to explore in depth, and offer pretty much the only thing to do. There are a few small shops and restaurants, but get ready to adjust to the island, because it won't catch up to what you're used to.
All-in-all, the Andaman and Nicobar islands are a unique thing to visit, so go in with an open mind and realize that you're relatively new to them. Tread lightly, take care, and make sure to learn a thing or two. It's a journey you'll never forget.

Brain Cancer Awareness Month
Brain cancer kills more children in Australia than any other disease
May is Brain Cancer Awareness Month, let's bring the brain tumour community together to go grey, to raise awareness and funds for brain cancer research.
Our voices together can improve care and by raising awareness, our hope is to recognise the need for research and clinical studies to improve early diagnosis, standardise treatment, and improve the health of those children living with this disease.
Brain Cancer Awareness Month is made possible through collaboration with Cancer Australia, Love for Lachie, Run DIPG, Robert Connor Dawes Foundation, Australia New Zealand Children's Haematology/Oncology Group, Children's Hospital Foundation, Isabella and Marcus Foundation, and Brain Child Foundation.

With the introduction of iCloud, Apple has made our lives much easier when it comes to managing content on our iPhones, iPads, and iPod touch. You no longer need a desktop machine to manage your data as everything can be done directly from the device.
iCloud comes at a price though. Even if the first 5GB are free, you probably will go over this allocated storage, especially if you have several iOS devices, and you will be required to pay a monthly fee for increased storage. To prevent this, it might be a good idea to delete old iPhone or iPad backups from iCloud in order to make room for what's really important.
Another reason why you'd want to delete an old iPhone backup from iCloud is if you know it contains a corrupted file. While this rarely happens and isn't particularly easy to diagnose, I've encountered this situation before, and I believe my only option was to delete the corrupted backup.
This being said, let's get into it and learn how to delete a backup from iCloud. Note that the process is exactly the same whether you use an iPhone, an iPad, or an iPod touch.
Step 3: Choose the device for which you want to delete a backup. In my case, I am choosing to delete an old iPhone X backup. As you can see on the image below, it is taking a big chunk of my iCloud storage, with a size of 560 MB.
Step 5: Tap "Turn Off & Delete." And you are done.
In the example above, I just saved myself 560 MB of storage on my iCloud account.

White House Asks North Korea To Release Detained Americans
The White House requested the release of detained Americans Merrill Newman and Kenneth Bae following the release of a peculiar apology from Newman.
Article by Candice Aviles
The White House requested the release of American citizens detained in North Korea Saturday, saying it is deeply concerned for them following the release of a peculiar video apology by one of the detainees.
Eighty-five-year-old American Merrill Newman was reportedly on a 10-day private tour of North Korea in October. Newman served in the U.S. military during the Korean War. (Via Sky News)
CNN reports Newman was about to leave the country, when North Korean authorities took him off the plane and into custody.
The New York Times republished a statement from the Korean Central News Agency that claimed Newman "committed hostile acts against the DPRK after entering the country under the guise of a tourist."
The statement added that Newman, a Korean War veteran, was responsible for the killing of Korean soldiers and civilians during his military service. North Korea also released a video of Newman apologizing for crimes he's accused of committing.
"In the statement Newman asks for forgiveness for allegedly killing North Korean soldiers and civilians during the Korean War. The video shows Newman stamping the four page statement with red thumbprints." (Via NBC)
"North Korea is focusing very heavily on Mr. Newman's record as a U.S. officer. They say he engaged in espionage, subversion and also sabotage activities during the Korean war." (Via CNN)
The apology also said Newman attempted to contact surviving soldiers during his current trip. It's still unknown whether Newman wrote the apology himself. (Via Fox News)
The BBC notes the apology was dated November 9th, meaning the video was released more than two weeks after it was recorded.
The other American the United States is requesting freed is Kenneth Bae who was arrested in November 2012 in North Korea. Bae was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor for alleged hostile acts. (Via The Telegraph)
The U.S. State Department sent an envoy to ask for Bae's release in August but was unsuccessful. Bae's family made a public appeal for his release around the same time because of his failing health.
North Korea has detained at least seven Americans since 2009, although five of them were eventually released. No word on when or if either Newman or Bae will be released. (Via The Washington Post)

Nuance Swype Keyboard (for iPhone)
byMax Eddy Oct 31, 2014
Gesture typing for fast text entry. Predictive text. Easily editable dictionary. Numerous themes. Multi-language support. Special character gestures.
Few features. Truly difficult error correction. No dictation. Sluggish.
Swype brings its signature gesture-typing to the iPhone, but you might end up wrestling with this app when it makes a mistake.
Swype made a name for itself by introducing gesture typing; you enter words not by tapping keys but dragging a finger between the letters in a word. For years, it has been a feature enjoyed only by Android users, but with the release of Swype Keyboard for iPhone (99 cents), Apple users are getting in on the action. Unfortunately, what should have been a slam dunk for Swype feels like a half-baked first foray.
If you want this iPhone app, you'll need a device running at least iOS 8. In my testing, I used an iPhone 5c running iOS 8.1. Once installed, you'll have to follow the app's instructions to enable the Swype keyboard. Oddly, to change the keyboard's settings, you have to select the settings icon directly from the keyboard.

After testing both Swype and SwiftKey, neither seemed as snappy nor as reliable as Apple's stock keyboard, which does not support gesture typing. I'm not sure where the blame lies, but I am starting to suspect that third-party keyboard developers may be at a disadvantage on iOS. Proceed with caution.
As with SwiftKey, using Swype means giving up Apple's excellent dictation feature—which is a terrible loss, in my opinion. But I am doubly disappointed because Swype's Android app comes loaded with the mobile version of Dragon Dictate, an excellent alternative to Google-powered dictation. Swype says that this is because Apple does not give keyboard extensions access to the microphone. Moreover, Swype's alternate keyboard formats, letter-tracing, and other unique features from Android are missing from the iPhone offering.
In the iPhone version of Swype, you'll find five different keyboard themes—two of which closely mimic the familiar iOS keyboard. That's more than double the number of themes in SwiftKey. My biggest complaint with all these apps is that the sub-keyboard for numbers and punctuation is wildly different from the stock keyboard. Like SwiftKey, Swype adds a bunch of extra keys to the main keyboard—like comma, period, and a dedicated return key. Overcoming my ingrained typing habits with these changes has been impossible so far.
Swype has support for five languages: English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. That's a far cry from the 60 available in Swype for Android. Once you select a language, you can easily toggle between it and other languages by holding the space bar.
You can view and edit your personal dictionary of words, which is handy for removing any irritating typos that have crept into Swype's repertoire. You access this setting, like all of Swype's settings, directly from the keyboard. Removing a word is as easy as highlighting the entry and tapping the trashcan icon. Unfortunately, Swype (like SwiftKey and the stock Apple keyboard) will have to be taught to recognize all of your favorite cusses.
It's also worth noting that Swype for iPhone costs 99 cents, while SwiftKey is free.
Slide to Type
Traditional smartphone thumb typing is for squares; gesture typing (with your thumb or otherwise) is what all the hip kids are into these days. While it might seem confusing at first, gesture typing just works. It's the best thing to happen to phones since multi-touch screens. That said, I found it to be trickier on older, narrower iPhones, like the 5c and the 4s. Then again, it wasn't much easier with the enormous iPhone 6 Plus.
And as much as I like gesture typing, it's best used for dashing off short missives and not novel-length material. When testing Swype, I timed myself both thumb typing and gesture typing random 80-word utterances based off of pizza ad copy using SwiftKey. I have now written the words "pesto crust" more than any other living human being, and can tell you that gesture typing took about 3 minutes 27 seconds, with nine errors. Thumb-typing took 3 minutes 37 seconds with only eight errors.
Swype includes some additional features for your low-friction typing experience. You can, for instance, add an exclamation point by sliding from the X key to the space bar. These are really handy, and help offset the unfamiliarity with Swype's keyboard.
Learning and Predicting Your Words
Just above the keyboard, Swype presents a list of three words. These are what Swype thinks you're likely to type next. With them, you can shoot off short, commonly used sentences without ever typing. To my knowledge, SwiftKey was the first to introduce this feature, though it's been widely adopted in other apps. Even the stock Apple keyboard in iOS 8.1 uses it.
Both Nuance and SwiftKey boast that their language models adapt to each user's unique utterances. In my testing, I found that after writing the same sentence three times—"I am enjoying the hams of my ancestors"—Swype picked up on my words and, subsequently, I was able to write that same sentence using predictive suggestions alone, without every touching the keyboard itself.
While using Swype, I got the feeling that its ability to predict my text and interpret my gesture typing was superior to SwiftKey out of the box. But I quickly became frustrated with Swype's inflexibility when it comes to fixing its errors.
For example, I wanted to gesture type the word "three" but Swype misinterpreted it. When I deleted the last few letters and added r-e-e, Swype thought I was trying to type a new word, and suggested I add "ree" to my dictionary. Another example: Swype would suddenly revert autocorrected words to their original form when I moved the cursor to them, and then suggest new words every time I tried to fix the original errors. I had no such trouble with SwiftKey.
These seem like minor issues, but it created a cascade of frustrations on my iPhone 4s. In fact, I got so frustrated while trying to compose a text message that I toggled back to the reliable territory of the stock Apple keyboard.
Swype to Success?
Swype delivers the incredible gesture-typing experience that made the app famous on Android, and its ability to interpret my fish-thumbed stumblings is very impressive. But I was disappointed by the slim selection of features, especially compared with its Android sibling. Worse, I was driven to new heights of textual frustration while trying to correct Swype's errors.
I tested Swype and SwiftKey side by side because both developers offer slick, mature products for Android. But I am disappointed to say that neither has managed to match its Android experience on iOS. Some of the blame certainly belongs to Apple, to whom offering custom keyboards is new territory, but I think it says a lot that I often found myself reverting to the stock Apple keyboard in a rage. It's for that reason that I'm keeping the coveted Editors' Choice trophy safely ensconced in its forgotten mountain temple until a true leader in the realm of iPhone keyboards emerges.
