I Care A Lot is an online-and a traveling exhibition
Portable discussion
The project's aim is to raise discussion about current issues in the Middle East through an international art exhibition in which jewelry is the chosen media. The project began with an open call for a traveling and an online exhibition.The works were selected independently by five international jury members-- experts in their fields of studies and practice: Dr. Otto von Busch(Sweden)- fashion activist, Love Jonsson(Sweden)- craft critic, Prof' Verd Kaminski(Israel)- jewelry artist, Shari pierce(USA,Germany)- jewelry artist and Dr. Nada Shabout(USA,Qatar)- art historian. The jury chose 42 pieces for the exhibition out of 252 submitted works, by 195 applicants. Entries from over 30 countries have been received and artists' pieces from 22 countries are exhibited in the final collection. I Care A Lot includes a website (www.icarealot.me ) and facebook page with project updates, Middle East related art works and news on relevant current political events. By now 449 people from all around the world are 'I Care A Lot' friends and they can share their thoughts and concerns on the Middle East amongst themselves and with the public.
Cause we care
The region's history and present are seeded with continuous violent national, ethnic and other conflicts. In many aspects the Middle East is considered to be one of the most sensitive and unstable regions in the world; strategically, economically, politically, culturally and religiously. It is located in the center of the international politics agenda. Its historical role, its huge reserves of crud oil and its significance for the three largest monotheist religions are usually taken as reasons for the world's ardent interest in the region. But the attitude towards the Middle East has pasted the point of a keen interest in world affairs. By now it seems clear that the Middle East is perceived, especially by consumers of Western media, as the place where world dramas converge, or - more accurately - collide. It is almost the opposite of the Bermuda Triangle: everything that happens there pops up on our radars. What is the Middle East? What is the source of our attraction to it? Is it just that it happens to be the most eventful place on earth? What is the nature of our commitment to effecting the future of the region? Do we really care about what goes on there? Do we really care about what goes on anywhere that is elsewhere? Do we care about the Middle East in a way similar to the way we care about how people look at us? Do we care about it the way we care about what people see in us?

Concealer is undoubtedly the trickiest beauty product around. It can totally make or break a look. Concealer is usually used to hide flaws, but using wrongly will only accentuate it. While you may think you know all about concealers, here's your ultimate guide to hone the skill of applying concealer like a pro.
How to use: If you're suffering from dark circles and under-eye bags, it's time to invest in a peach-based liquid foundation. Stay away from yellow-based concealer as it will make the blue hue under your eyes look dull and pale. Finish with loose powder to set your concealer.
How to use: Cream-based concealers are perfect to camouflage dark spots as they are thicker and give more coverage. Use a concealer brush to apply the concealer only on the dark area. Dab a hint of lifting concealer for highlight. Finish by blending loose powder with a damp sponge.
How to use: If you have redness, start by applying a little green concealer to neutralise the colour. Concealer pencils work best for zits and blemishes as its pointy shape allows you to go over and around it.
How to use: To conceal the darkness around your mouth area, use a white concealer with brush on the area around your lips. This makes a great base for lip colour. Finish with a foundation that matches your skin tone.
How to use: Prep your skin with foundation; follow it by dabbing pencil concealer on the broken capillaries. Use your ring finger to gently blend. To ensure that the skin tone is even, apply another layer of light foundation. Finish with a damp sponge dipped into loose powder.
Apart from the regular concealing the blemishes job, the concealer can easily find other uses in makeup regimen. Here are more ways to use your concealer.
In a pea size amount of moisturiser, add a drop of concealer and mix well. You have a tinted moisturiser ready at hand.
Use concealer to prime the lips before applying your lipstick. This will not only cover the uneven skin tone but will also make the colours pop.
Use concealer one or two shades darker than your skin tone for contouring. The light formula will blend into the skin giving a flawless sculpted look.
Pick a concealer a few shades lighter than your skin tone to use as a highlighter. Apply below the brow bone, on the bridge of your nose, Cupid's bow, chin and blend it for a soft, luminous glow.
Concealer can help you fix any smudges and stray lines after applying eyeliner. Let it dry and then deftly cover the mistakes with the concealer.
Once you have applied lipstick, outline the lips carefully with concealer and blend away. This will give you perfectly painted lips.
If you so not have a primer at hand, you can use concealer on the eyelids. This will make the colours look more vivid and eyeshadow will last longer.
This is good for covering dark circles and other blemishes on the skin. It is light and easy to mix but needs to be blend well and set with a powder.
It is known for offering highest coverage and is thus recommended to cover deep scars and marks on the skin along with covering tattoos.
It gives high coverage and is easily absorbed by the skin which makes it ideal for oily skin. Use it to cover dark circles and to get an even skin tone.
This is ideal for targeting bumps and other imperfections on the skin. Due to its' convenient shape, it can be used to draw lines and for contouring.


The brutal suppression of the uprising in Morant Bay in October 1865 under Governor Edward Eyre and the ensuing 'reign of terror' is a watershed in Jamaican history. Paul Bogle and his allies, overwhelmed by colonial firepower and betrayed by Maroons in service to the British Crown, were mercilessly cut down by the elites (local and foreign) who justified their actions based on the continued belief in the subjugation and suppression of the black race by the white race, emancipation notwithstanding. In Colour for Colour Skin for Skin, Clinton Hutton deconstructs the ideological, cultural, philosophical, economic, social and political rationale for the uprising by formerly enslaved Africans and their descendants and its violent suppression by the colonial forces, and articulates its significance in the development of a national black consciousness. This consciousness, and fight for freedom and justice, he argues, has strengthened over periods of Jamaica's short history, evidenced by the emergence of Garveyism and Rastafari, the 1938 labour riots, and articulated in Jamaican popular music and more recently, the resurgence of Revival worship. Using fascinating first-hand accounts of the uprising and its aftermath from the Report of the Royal Commission of 1866 and numerous newspaper reports among other sources, Hutton presents the 'Morant Bay Rebellion' squarely at the forefront of the continuing expression of a national complex in a post colonial society.

Rest in peace - Amr Fahmy!
Egypt: Founder of Ultras Ahlawy passed away.
Former CAF Secretary-General Amr Moustafa Fahmy, and founder of Ultras Ahlawy, has passed away at the age of 36 after a battle with cancer.
Fahmy was fired from CAF after accusing his former boss and current CAF president, Ahmad Ahmad, of corruption.He continued his fight against corruption even after he was fired.
Among the ultras, Amr Fahmy was a well known person. Back in 2007 he founded Ultras Ahlawy, the main group of Egyptian club Al Ahly. This was also the start of the raising ultras culture in Egypt which showed top international class before the revolution and political chaos in Egypt.
The Egyptian revolution was pretty much run by the ultras and Amr Fahmy was an leading figure in the massive protest back in 2011. At that time he provided Ultras-Tifo with first hand information during the revulsion, as well as the massacre in Port Said in 2012 when more than 70 supporters of Al Ahly were killed.
Amr Fahmy registered with his account on our forum back in 2007 and was an highly respected member of our ultras-forum back then.
Besides of his passion for Al Ahly and Egypt, Amr Fahmy had many friends in Serbia with members of Delije (Crvena Zzvezda). Last Sunday they displayed banners for Amr Fahmy during the match between Indija - Crvena Zvezda.
He was also a well known person in the German ultras scene. The father of a 3-month-old daughter was a regular guest at the Dreisamstadium for 8 years and supported the Sport-Club Freiburg, especially in a countless away games. He was a friend of the North Grandstand and the Freiburg fan scene.
Fans of Freiburg payed their respect to Amr Fahmy this weekend in their away game in Dortmund:

Members of Ultras Ahlawy with flags and songs for Amr Fahmy during CAF Champions League match between Al Ahly and Sundowns 29.02.2020:
Ultras-Tifo want to show our deepest respect for Amr Fahmy, his passion for the ultras culture and his fight for a clean sport without corruption.
Rest in peace!

Hesketh in EFL Team of the Week
Midfielder starred in Saturday's success...
mkdonsfc
Jake Hesketh has been named in the EFL's Team of the Week for his display in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Carlisle United.
The on-loan midfielder played a part in two of MK Dons' goals in Cumbria, helping them to a second successive victory which has them back to within two points of the automatic promotion places in Sky Bet League Two.
With the game tied at 1-1, Hesketh restored MK Dons' lead in Cumbria with a stunning right-footed curler into the far corner of the net before starring in an excellent attacking move down the left-hand side, which led to the team's third goal.
Hesketh has been in great form since arriving at Stadium MK from Southampton, scoring twice in four games. He becomes the fifth Don to be recognised in the EFL Team of the Week this season, along with Rhys Healey, Alex Gilbey, Jordan Houghton and Paul Tisdale.
EFL Team of the Week for 15-17 Feb in full:
Mark Halstead - Morecambe
The stopper made a series of incredible saves including one from Tom Pope's penalty as Morecambe picked up a vital win and clean sheet at fellow strugglers Port Vale.
Sam Stubbs - Notts County
With County bottom of Sky Bet League Two and hosting local rivals Mansfield Town, a big performance was needed from the Magpies defence. Alongside Ben Barclay, Stubbs put in a solid display as his side kept a clean sheet in a 1-0 win.
Ben Barclay - Notts County
Another top performer this weekend, the Brighton loanee showed maturity beyond his years to keep the free-scoring Stags at bay. Barclay will surely have a key role to play if his side are to compete their rivival.
Ben Davies - Preston North End
Davies dealt very well with the threat of Nottingham Forest's Lewis Grabban as Preston kept a valuable clean sheet at Deepdale to extend their unbeaten run to seven games.
Emi Buendia - Norwich City
It was yet another good day for Buendia in the Canaries midfield as they returned to the Sky Bet Championship summit. The Argentine's well-taken goal capped a near-perfect performance which earns him a spot in our XI.
John-Obi Mikel - Middlesbrough
Mikel has quickly become a fan favourite at Boro, and it's easy to see why on the latest evidence. The travelling fans sang his name throughout Sunday's win at Blackburn Rovers, as the midfielder showed his class.
Jake Hesketh - MK Dons
The on-loan Southampton man was in fine form as MK Dons won at Carlisle United in front of over 10,000 fans. Hesketh scored an excellent goal of his own and was involved in another, also hitting the woodwork.
George Moncur - Luton Town
The man who set the tone for Luton's record-breaking win at Fleetwood, Moncur scored a stunning free-kick as the Hatters went on to make it 20 EFL games without defeat.
Teemu Pukki - Norwich City
Fast becoming a Team of the Week regular, the flying Finn scored a brace in Saturday's 4-0 win at Bolton Wanderers, as the Canaries kept up their title charge in style.
Gary Madine - Sheffield United
With top scorer Billy Sharp on the bench, it was left to Madine to step up to the mark, and he did just that. The striker scored twice as the Blades impressively saw off Reading to move into the automatic promotion places.
Simon Cox - Southend United
The striker's performance against Portsmouth was a perfect example of leading from the front. With Southend 3-0 down, Cox netted a hat-trick to salvage a point for his side, in what was a fantastic individual display.

Electron impact excitation studies of unstable atomic species.
Ady Kamel. Abdellatif, University of Windsor
McConkey, J. W.,
Physics, Atomic.
The polarization of Balmer-alpha radiation excited in collisions of electrons with atomic hydrogen is presented for an electron energy range from threshold to 1000 eV. Measurements are in good agreement with calculations carried out using either convergent-close-coupling or R-matrix with pseudo-states approaches. Cascade is demonstrated to have a significant effect. Balmer-alpha excitation function data are also presented. A previous measurement of the polarization of Balmer-alpha following dissociative excitation of H2 by electrons is confirmed and extended. The electron impact excitation spectrum of atomic and molecular nitrogen in the VUV range (800 A--1800 A) is presented. The excitation functions of the 1135 A and the 1200 A transitions are obtained. About 5% of nitrogen molecules are dissociated using a microwave discharge source and a mixture of 95% helium and 5% nitrogen gases. Other lines proved to have too small an emission cross section for the electron impact excitation process on atomic nitrogen. Thus the 1243 A, 1494 A, 1745 A N lines and the 1085 A N+ line could not be studied using the small dissociation fractions obtained in the present work. Electron impact excitation of fluorine and sulfur atoms is presented. The spectrum of Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) in the VUV range from 800 A--1700 A is recorded. A 70% dissociation fraction was obtained using the microwave discharge unit with SF6 and He targets. The absolute emission cross section for the 807 A fluorine transition is found to be 2.21 +/- 1.20 x 10-19 cm 2 at 200 eV electron energy. As for sulfur, the absolute emission cross section for the 1474 A transition is 2.46 +/- 1.38 x 10-19 cm2 at 95 eV and for the 1667 A transition is 1.87 +/- 1.31 x 10-19 cm 2 at 85 eV.

Implications of a 33-Yard XP
The NFL is experimenting with a longer XP this preseason. XPs have become so automatic (close to 99.5%) that there no longer much rationale for including them in the game. The Competition Committee's experiment is to move the line of scrimmage of each XP to the 15-yard line, making the distance of each kick 33-yards.
Over the past five seasons, attempts from that distance are successful 91.5% of the time. That should put a bit of excitement and drama into XPs, especially late in close games, which is what the NFL wants. But it might also have another effect on the game.
Currently, two-point conversions are successful at just about half that rate, somewhere north of 45%. The actual rate is somewhat nebulous, because of how fakes and aborted kick attempts into two-point attempts are counted.
It's likely the NFL chose the 15-yd line for a reason. The success rates for kicks from that distance are approximately twice the success rate for a 2-point attempt, making the entire extra point process "risk-neutral." In other words, going for two gives teams have half the chance at twice the points.
But it might not be so simple. Teams tend to pass too often on 2-pt conversions, and simply by running more often, the overall success rate could climb to near 50%. That would make the long-run expected value of a 2-point attempt higher than an XP kick attempt. In theory, the strategy options would flip roles. Two-point conversions would become the norm, and XPs would be reserved for late-game tactics when one point is all that's needed to win.
And even if the average 2-point success rate doesn't climb much above 45%, the rates for above average offenses are already above the break-even rate. The same is true for attempts versus below average defenses.
The net advantage of making 2-point attempts the default would be very small, only a fraction of a point per game, so either way, it's not going to make much difference. But that's not any different than how things are now. The net advantage of nearly always kicking the XP rather than usually going for two is tiny.
It's unlikely that the premium would be large enough to compel coaches to abandon convention, even for the best offenses. When two risky options are considered, it's usually the low variance option that's preferred. And in this case, that will always be the XP.

Only if you are the underdogs, you want to use the high variance approach to increase your chances of winning.
Brian Anderson says:
I suspect the "true" conversion rate of PATs from the 15 yard line would turn out to be higher than 91.5%, if they ever moved them there permanently, for two reasons: 1) PATs will always be from the middle of the hash marks, and 2) there is less incentive for the defense to try to block a 1-point kick than a 3-point kick.
So there's now a different starting position for 2-point conversion and PAT kicks? I guess there's some rules in place to prevent 'fake' 2-point conversions.
It doesn't make much sense to me to have them start on different yard lines -- now you'd never fake an extra point, because flat-out going for 2 is far easier from 2 yards out than from 15. What about faking a 2PC - is a dropkick still legal? Or do you have to run back to the 22 yard line to do that? Seems like overthinking something that doesn't need to be overthought.
What about penalties? If a 15 yard penalty is assessed before a PAT, the resulting PAT is still makable from the 17. Now it turns into a 47-yarder. What if after the penalty you want to go for 2? Do you get to go for it from the 17? If not, seems like trying to force a penalty (offside, etc.) is much less risky for the defense than the offense.
Just seems like an arbitrary rule that creates more complication than is needed, like the OT rules. Leave well enough alone, Goodell.
I agree with Ryan. It doesn't make any sense to have the kick and the 2-point attempt from different spots.
I think the better option would be to just move the line of scrimmage to the 1-yard line from the 2. This will not really change the situation for XP's, but will cause 2 point conversions to be completed at a rate above 50%, moving the balance of probability clearly in that direction.
Kos says:
"The net advantage of making 2-point attempts the default would be very small, only a fraction of a point per game, so either way, it's not going to make much difference."
Is this actually true, though? Expected points are a great way to look at long-term success; however, in a clocked game with a finite number of possessions, and in a game where scoring isn't linear, can't we argue that gaining EP might be less important than "uniform" scoring?
In other words, just because the change in EP is negligible does not mean the change in WP would be as well. This seems similar to bunting in baseball. We realize it's bad in a vacuum, but when it's tied in the bottom of the 9th, and you get a leadoff single/double, it is often beneficial for your WP to trade an out for 90 feet. You decrease your expected runs, but you only need one, so you're only concerned with the *frequency* of your scoring (as opposed to the volume of it). This seems like a study of diminishing marginal returns. If you're down by 6 and score a TD as time expires, it doesn't matter if your 2PC rate is 90%. Your EP would be 1.8 points (vs. 0.995), yet your WP would be 0.9 (vs. 0.9975), so you'd obviously just kick the extra point.
My gut says that going/not going for 2, while potentially negligible EP-wise, could completely shift the way your opponent approaches the entire game. Maybe being up 8-7 in the 1Q doesn't change much, but being up 8-7 in the 3Q might change a lot. What if your opponent is less willing to kick a chip-shot FG on 4th and inches (since it would only put them up 10-8)? You've now "forced" them into the mathematically-correct decision of going for it. Even if the boost to their EP isn't much, the WP difference when they succeed is going to be quite large (especially if they convert their 2PC and go up 15-8), and that's a big issue when you'll only have 2-3 remaining possessions in the game.
I think we at AFA all agree that math is a wonderful tool to use for analyzing football. However, in a league where most coaches act irrationally and coach sub-optimally from a tactical POV, I'm not sure it's possible to accurately analyze the psychological impact this scoring change would make. If we're all willing to accept the idea that you'd sometimes rather be down 6 than be down 3, why are we so sure that being up 1 is always better than being tied? Is it not possible that, when down 7-0 and scoring a TD, matching your opponent's score could be smarter than being up 8-7? In a league where coaches LOVE to play for ties (which is obviously a mistake), why would you take away their opportunity to play for that tie? To put it another way: if your opponent is already making tons of mistakes and coaching with zero regard for math, why would you do anything that could alter their approach? Coaches will only start questioning themselves and actually using their brains when their backs are up against the wall (see: 2013 Ron Rivera), so don't make them feel like their back is up against the wall. Let them continue to be complacent, and keep reaping the benefits.
One thing to add to the above: this is why I vehemently disagree with the general belief that, if you're down 14 late in the 4Q and score a TD, you should go for 2. While the math backs it up, we have no data to confirm how coaches coach when up 7 vs. up 6. If your opponent is happy to take three dives and punt when down 7, are we sure they do that with the same frequency when only up 6? Does that possible dip in their 3-dives-and-punt frequency actually end up negating (or worse, outweighing) the EP boost you get from going for 2...and is this even measurable?
(For the record, I obviously 100% agree with going for 2 in scenarios where the game ends if your opponent possesses the ball again. When you are the only one who controls the ball, the psychological impact on the opposing coach is irrelevant, so going for 2 becomes inarguably correct.)

All the evidence that I'm aware of indicates that the impact of in-game psychology in the NFL is pretty small. As Romer said in his podcast, the players are professionals.
However, the nature of scoring is such that whenever that second point is worth a lot more than the first, teams really ought to be going for it. The most familiar example is teams that are down by 2 in the second half, but, really, it should be considered by teams that are down by 5 or up by 1 before the PAT as well.
I must admit no paying any attention to the trial of XP from the Def 15 during Wk1 and Wk2 of pre-season for reasons stated above and upsetting the delicate balance marginally in favour of one over two in terms of EP over the course of the game.
It does not bother me that the XP is almost automatic as its primary function is to give the TD package an edge over two FG, period.
The option to go for two should generally be in game situations where relevant to the score; the 2MW game has now proved several times the correct option is to take the single point until roughly the last six minutes or so, but then I have been able to slew the rules to reinforce this!
Suppose PAT were taken from the 15...then would there be a need to then move the two-point option to the Def 3 to keep the balance between the two over the course of the game? Too complicated and what about the surprise element touched on above?!
What you could do, if you wanted to make the PAT marginally less likely, is tinker with wider hash lines for use in Q1, Q2 and Q3, or even up to the Last Five Minutes. Subject to these marking the extreme, the PAT would no longer be taken from the centre of the field but in line with where the ball crossed the GL (rushing) or caught in the EZ (passing). If the officials are in doubt, the widest alternative is the mark.
By essentially copying the NFL model, the 5+2 system used in rugby union actually produces a better statistical range of points: here it depends where the ball is touched down not where it crosses the try line. In theory at least the two points for a conversion in front of the posts is even more automatic than the three-player exchange needed in Football, but is still worth less than the three points for a penalty goal. Yet in many cases the conversion attempt can be more difficult than a penalty. Again, it is a delicate balancing act to ensure a converted try is worth more than two penalty goals.
Association Football is no different although scoring is more straightforward: if the GA can be raised to around four then the net affect of a penalty goal is diminished.

Superconductivity – the complete loss of electrical resistance of a material below a certain temperature Tc – has fascinated researchers ever since. The long-standing rule that superconductivity occurs only in compounds of non-magnetic elements has been shattered. Oxo-cuprate with Tc as high as 150K and iron pnictide and chalcogenide superconductors may reach their high Tc thanks to magnetic exitations. Materials in which superconductivity is due to the coupling of electrons to lattice vibrations (treated within the BCS theory) have been thought to reach only lower Tc. Theoretical predictions of new superconductors have not been completely reliable until now.
At the left please find links to pages describing the investigated superconducting systems in detail. A short overview is given in our report (pdf). Recent results on superconductivity of transition-metal dichalcogenides, especially of the proposed Weyl-semimetal MoTe2, are reported here (pdf).
The continuous production of new materials at MPI-CPfS has called for a strategy to discover new phenomena and also superconductivity. The materials are initially screened and then investigated in detail in our physical characterization facilities.

Limit switches and kill switches help protect your motor controller from performing unwanted actions. For example, analog limit switches could be configured to prevent your actuator from moving out of its valid range. An RC kill switch could be configured to conveniently immobilize an autonomous robot from a distance using an RC Transmitter and Receiver.
Decide what channel you are going to connect your limit switch to, and connect it to that channel as described in Section 4.3 if it is an RC limit or kill switch or Section 4.4 if it is an analog limit or kill switch.
If you are using an Analog channel for your limit switch and you decide to use the internal pull-up instead of supplying an external one, check the "Enable pull-up resistor" box for that channel in the Input Settings tab.
If you are using an Analog channel and have chosen a wiring configuration that makes it impossible for the controller to detect when your switch is disconnected, check "Ignore pot disconnect" box in the Advanced Settings. Disconnect detection works by toggling power to the analog power pins (+) and making sure that this toggling has an effect on the voltage on the sigal pin (A1 or A2). If you have wired your switch such that the analog power pin is not connected to the signal pin, you will need to do this.
Select the desired Alternate Use for the limit switch channel. This determines whether it will be a Forward Limit Switch, Reverse Limit Switch, or Kill Switch. See Section 5.1 for details about the Alternate Use.
Look at the current channel value label in the Input Settings tab. Press or activate your switch and make sure that the channel value changes significantly. If the value does not change, then you should double check your connections and settings and try again.
Click the "Learn…" button for the channel in the Input Settings tab. The Channel Setup Wizard will walk you through the steps needed to calibrate your limit switch's scaling parameters.

Our trip to Grapevine for C3 (more on that later) was amazing; however, I didn't run a step while we were there. I rode the bike for a bit one evening, but that's it. We got in really late Friday night really early Saturday morning, so I wasn't feelin' my long run Saturday and skipped it. It's the first run I've blatantly skipped since I actually started focusing on my training. I'm hoping I don't regret it too much on March 4th.
and quickly was certain I was about to die. My tension usually settles in my calves anyway, so when they were already sore, I was in bad shape. I was only a mile in when I had to give myself a major pep talk. It took me a few little tough love spiels to convince myself I had to keep going.
Less than a half-mile after my talk with myself, a car honked. I didn't think much of it until I saw it was a black Explorer with a man honking at me. He gave me a huge smile and an enthusiastic thumbs up. All of a sudden, I was refreshed and renewed. Just a simple sign of encouragement made all the difference. I sucked it up, picked up my feet, and finished the run.


When a young tug pilot's career is ruined by a collision in Earth orbit he has no choice but to accept a commission to fly an eccentric ship builder to planet far from the trade routes. When they discover alien ruins on the planet and the hulk of a missing generation ship they are thrown into the centre of a conspiracy that reaches back centuries. Meanwhile on Earth a young Indian police officer is trying to track down a serial killer little suspecting that the killer is linked to what is happening on a planet light years away and that her own past holds the key to everything that is happening. Eric Brown has written a novel that brings together an extraordinary imagination, rare sensitivity to character and a love of Eastern philosphy. A key novel from one of the UK's favourite SF writers.
"This is a very skilfully plotted novel about which it is best not to give too much away... This is the book for readers who really don't want to know where a writer might be taking them... The more meditative aspects of Penumbra bring to mind the calm of Arthur C Clarke's work, while those who appreciate the involved mystery will find much to enjoy in Kim Stanley Robinson's Icehenge."


At Grayson Funeral Homes we take pride in our facilities and the home-like atmosphere they provide. All of our attention is devoted to making our funeral home the best it can be by satisfying the needs of our friends and neighbors. Because we are attuned to these needs we are able to provide any special services our families request. One example of this is the availability of our "Family Rooms" at each location, where the family can go to relax a few minutes when needed. By providing this room, it allows the family, friends, churches and fraternal organizations to bring in food and beverages. Many people choose to express their sympathy in this manner. The room is also available to the family for use after the committal service.
This is our business. We take every opportunity to be involved in our community, which helps us to create the kind of personal relationships that will allow us to provide services our families expect and want. We take great personal pride in keeping our facilities in excellent condition and we regularly pursue continuing education to maintain the highest level of professional services. Throughout the years the Grayson family and their employees have continued to offer the finest in funeral services to the residents of Southeastern Indiana.
A monument is an important part of our way of life and is a reflection of the love you shared with your loved one. It should not reflect sorrow but celebrate the warmth and affection for life. It can inspire faith and hope for the living, and speak out as a voice to generations yet to come. We at Charlestown Monument Co., Inc. dedicate these memorials to honor and express that love. We are grateful to have the privilege to design a monument worthy to represent that love. We believe that each individual is unique and special and that one's monument should reflect those qualities. Each memorial is made from the finest granite, and is guaranteed to last for centuries. We take special pride in our craftsmanship, and can custom design one specially for you.
Burial vaults are an accepted means of enclosing the casketed remains of a loved one within a grave. The purpose of a burial vault is to maintain the grave from the effects of settling and outside forces of water or excess weight. Doric Burial Vaults available from Superior Vault Company are manufactured of strong reinforced concrete lined with a variety of carefully selected plastics and metals to assure the utmost durability and peace of mind.
Funerals provide a setting for bereaved to come together with friends and relatives to respond to the death of a loved one.
Choosing cremation does not prevent family and friends from participating in the ceremonies of a traditional funeral. Cremation does not mean that a family will not be able to participate in rituals that are part of their family tradition or custom. Selecting cremation is merely selecting a method of disposition just like burial, entombment or making an anatomical gift.
There are several options for disposition of the cremated remains of a loved one. They include burial in a grave, inurnment in a columbarium, entombment, scattering (on land or at sea) or other respectful means of memorialization.

Appleton OKs railroad quiet zone
Proposal will spend up to $785,000 for improvements to create railroad quiet zone.

APPLETON - The frequent sound of downtown train whistles could become silenced in Appleton within the next few years.
City leaders Wednesday approved creating a railroad quiet zone for the downtown area. Now, city officials must send a letter of intent to create the quiet zone, subject to Federal Railroad Administration approval, Public Works Director Paula Vandehey said.
The construction for the required safety improvements to create the railroad quiet zone could begin as soon as 2018, Vandehey added.
The project will cost up to $785,000 in improvements at train crossings between Prospect Avenue and Ballard Road. In the process, safety risks along the train route would be reduced by up to 14 percent, according to consultants hired by the city.
In 2016, the city budgeted funds to hire outside consultants to provide recommendations and options for creating the zone. The results of the study were presented in July by SRF Consulting.

According to federal law, train operators must sound the horn for 15 to 20 seconds when approaching a public crossing, except for crossings in quiet zones.
A quiet zone doesn't mean the train whistle would never sound, however. Horns would be allowed in emergency situations.
There are 23 railroad crossings through the downtown area from Prospect to Ballard that could become part of the quiet zone.
All crossings in a quiet zone must have gates, flashing lights and a constant warning system that times the gates going up or down according to the speed of the train. All but one crossing in Appleton meets those requirements.
Specific safety measures approved by the FRA would be required at the crossings to ensure the Quiet Zone Risk Index, or the risk of each crossing in the quiet zone, meets the threshold for approval.
Appleton first considered creating a quiet zone in 2006, but the conversation never advanced after concerns about the time to evaluate the crossings and the cost to upgrade the crossings.
Nearby Wisconsin communities with quiet zones include Fond du Lac, Green Bay, Menasha, Neenah and Oshkosh, according to the Federal Railroad Administration.

The Five Best Podcasts for Aspiring Entrepreneurs
by yasminbashirova | Jun 16, 2021 | Aspiring Entrepreneurs, Best Podcasts
Becoming an entrepreneur can be a daunting task. Whether it's generating ideas, launching, or marketing, there's always more to learn. There's an easy way to tap into knowledge from more experienced and successful entrepreneurs: podcasts. The best podcasts for aspiring entrepreneurs combine entertainment with solid, actionable information.
How I Built This
NPR journalist Guy Raz has produced high-quality episodes of How I Built This since 2016. Each episode examines how the most successful businesses in the world began. Through interviews with guests like Jimmy Wales (the co-founder of Wikipedia) and Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield (Ben & Jerry's), the podcast delves into the blood, sweat, and tears — and techniques — needed to create a thriving empire.
The Tim Ferriss Show
In 2007, entrepreneur Tim Ferriss took the world by storm with his book "The 4-Hour Workweek." Since then, he has hosted his own television show and built a business worth a reported $100 million. He interviews experts, lifestyle gurus, entrepreneurs, and more. From Arnold Schwarzenegger to Brene Brown, each interviewee imparts wisdom about life and success.
Stanford University produces this weekly podcast, which has more than 400 installments to choose from. There's something here for everyone: balancing entrepreneurship with home life, creative leadership, how to negotiate, and more. Thought leaders like Sheryl Sandberg (Facebook), Mark Pincus (Zynga), and Scott Cook (Intuit) give in-depth interviews detailing their work, lives, and philosophies.
Since 2013, Lewis Howes has created thousands of episodes that cover lifestyle, health, and the business mindset. The New York Times bestselling author talks with a wide range of successful people about how they reach their goals while maintaining a healthy life balance. Notable guests include Alanis Morissette, Arianna Huffington, and Brene Brown.
Kara Swisher is a hard-nosed journalist who isn't afraid to go toe-to-toe with some of the most prominent people in the tech industry. Whether she's interviewing a Silicon Valley pioneer or a politician, she asks deep, important, pointed questions that reveal what it's like to develop big ideas that can change the world. Her interviews with Hilary Clinton, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk are must-listen.


Malnutrition is still a problem in many countries particularly in Africa. It is estimated that 47 million children under the age of five are stunted in sub Saharan Africa whereas in eastern and southern Africa the figure stand at 24 million. Micronutrient deficiencies of vitamin A, iron and iodine are also of public health concern in the whole African region.
"Tanzania is the 3rd last on stunting in sub-Saharan Africa where stunting affects 34.7% of children fewer than five years of age national wide," stated Hope Masanja in a recent interview.
She is currently undertaking a master's degree in Human Nutrition at Sokoine University of Agriculture. Her program is administered by RUFORUM through the Innovative Agricultural Research Initiative (iAGRI) – a major Feed the Future project funded by the U.S Agency for International Development (USAID). Her research study is focusing on the contribution of fish in improving micronutrients contents for commonly used complementary foods for children aged 6-23 months. Her study is conducted in Lindi at Mchinja word under the supervision of Dr.Theresia Jumbe and Ms. Renatha Pacitic both from the Department of Food Technology, Nutrition and Consumer Services (DFTNCS), SUA.
Hope says "Before joining iAGRI I worked for Save the Children International in lindi, the project aimed at improving children's lives that's where I saw a big number of children under five years old stunted in villages while one of the households livelihood activity is fishing. Therefore I'm just trying to check on what is happening, do children really consume fish? if yes why are they still stunting, do the fish based complement foods have an adequate amount of micronutrients?" she explained.
Hope is very optimistic that her data will play a vital contribution for proper growth of children hence reducing micronutrient deficiencies. Furthermore, Hope is very grateful for an iAGRI scholarship and other extra programs hosted by iAGRI in collaboration with SUA with aim of enhancing capacity building of students. Through capacity building programs she has gained advanced skills and knowledge in data management, analysis and presentation. As one of many experienced graduates supported by the iAGRI project, Hope can now apply the acquired knowledge in handling the qualitative data since majority of the data collected for her research are in qualitative.
Apart from those benefits she recalls to have faced some challenges in accessing books "most of the books present in the library are outdated, and other books in the internet demand payments or membership so sometimes it's hard to just swim in the internet till you get the required information but all in all life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are".
Hope is at the final stage of her research, in future she intends to work with the food processing industry and non-government organization in Tanzania so as to facilitate access to enough nutritious food towards reduction in stunting, decreasing child hunger and promote global prosperity and stability.

Miami Prof, Organized Crime Expert Indicted For Money Laundering
Written by Nicholas Flynt
They say that those who can't do, teach — but on Monday, federal authorities alleged that a Miami professor with expertise in organized crime played an active role in a conspiracy to launder approximately $2.5 million in dirty Venezuelan money.
FBI agents focused specifically on money laundering crime were key to the investigation. (Source: Public Domain)The indictment states that from November 2017 to October 2018, 73-year-old University of Miami professor Bruce Bagley received in a bank account under his control approximately $2.5 million from sources authorities allege he knew were dirty. The indictment says the money came from foreign bribery and embezzlement, "stolen from the Venezuelan people."
After receiving money from alleged co-conspirators, the indictment said, Bagley transferred it to others, keeping about 10 percent as a commission.
The Miami Herald reported Monday that Bagley made his first court appearance that same day, and was ordered to pay a $300,000 bond. The newspaper says that he's scheduled for another appearance in Miami federal court Thursday.
Multiple outlets have disseminated a University of Miami statement, announcing that Bagley has been put on administrative leave in light of the allegations.
FBI official William F. Sweeney Jr. was quoted in the Department of Justice's release as saying, "[T]he only lesson to be learned from Professor Bagley today is that involving oneself in public corruption, bribery, and embezzlement schemes is going to lead to an indictment."

'Serial' Is Back, and Is Now on Sonos
|In Händelser
There's a new season of Serial upon us … and Sarah Koenig's calming voice can now fill your home through your Sonos speakers.
The groundbreaking and hyper-popular podcast has returned for its second season, with the first episode dropping in somewhat stealth fashion on December 10. This season's format remains the same, but the stakes are much higher as it will document the case of Bowe Bergdahl, a U.S. Army soldier who may or may not have deserted before being captured by the Taliban and held captive for five years before being part of a prisoner swap in 2014. At first, it was reason for celebration … but it was a brief one, as the reasons for his capture raised a whole lot of questions. The case is perfect for Serial because of all of the shades of grey, mysterious characters sure to emerge and unanswered questions that remain, this season has been anticipated basically since the final seconds of the final season one podcast.
So how can you listen on your Sonos? You can download the podcast and listen to it via your phone through Sonos, play it via Stitcher — or, a new medium for season two, Serial is being broadcast through Pandora. All you have to do is add Serial to your stations from within the Pandora app, and it will then appear on your Pandora account via the Sonos app. They've chopped up the format of the show to play in shorter clips as opposed to one long podcast, so if that's a better format for you, you're in luck.
If you didn't listen to the first season of Serial, or maybe you've never heard of it, fear not. The internet went bananas over it, and thanks to resources like Reddit's /r/serialpodcast thread, diving right in is easy. If you want to skip the first season and dive straight into the second, this article from NPR will set you up nicely.
The Bergdahl case has political consequences far and wide, and in many ways is a massive step up in terms of subject matter and visibility for the show. The podcast's first season riveted its listeners by detailing the case of Syed, who has been in prison for more than a decade after being found guilty the 1999 murder of his then-girlfriend, Hae Min Lee. Throughout the podcast, though, the details, minutae and personalities involved in the case brought up many questions as to whether or not Adnan was — or even logistically could be — guilty of the crime. Thanks in large part to the podcast, his case is now being revisited by the Maryland Court of Special Appeals.

WordSearch Bible Sets are a way of grouping multiple volumes so that they appear as one book.
Sets are a feature in WordSearch Bible. Sets are a way of collecting some of your library books which may have been sold or offered separately but need to be treated as a single book in the Library. For example a commentary on the New Testament may be written and sold as separate volumes such as Romans, Acts, John, Matthew, etc. but when used in the program they work better is they are treated as a single book. A Set could be as small as two volumes or as large as a hundred or more. A set will function well even when you do not own all of the volumes. The volumes of a set normally match physical books but sometimes multiple physical books could be combined in one electronic book without using sets. Of course some of the books you own are not part of a set, they are single books.
The WordSearch Bible app does not support the function of sets. It treats all volumes as independent books. This minimizes the size of downloads. Neither does https://www.mywsb.com the cloud server and online library.
The Book store also groups some volumes by sets. These may or may not be the same as the Sets feature described on this page. The book store also groups books by bundles which are usually not a set but occasionally they are the same. Portions of a set may or may not be available to be purchased separately.
Sets are a useful feature of WordSearch. They are mostly present in the Commentaries category where individual volumes only cover a portion of a Bible. They can even be in the Bibles Category to connect an old and new testament into a complete Bible. For example the HCSB bible is done this way. However there is no reason that they can't be used in other categories as well.
If you open a book (volume) that is part of a set and you own more volumes then the Table of Contents for the book will list the contents of all the volumes you own. (If the TOC isn't open you can click on the TOC icon on the top list to open it.) You can browse the entire set and if you click on an entry that is not in this volume it will open and go there anyway. You can read the entire set as if it were one book. You can also follow links from one section of the book to another.
If the volumes in the set are designed to work with Bible verses then the Bible references can be directed to any book in the set which will be opened and displayed automatically once any one of the volumes are opened. The automatic syncing will work within an entire set.
The first method uses "My Library List"
2. If you scan down the list of books you may notice that some of the books have exactly the same name until they get to a hyphen. These books are part of the same set where the part of the book name ahead of the hyphen is the name of the set and the part after the hyphen is the volume name. Note a few books may have more that one hyphen, in which case the last one divides the set name from the volume name. You can now close the library list.
The second method allows you to see them in your Resources list in the Library section. Make sure the push pin is selected to keep the resource list on the screen. The library section contains three different views that are selected using the change options check box.
1. Click the check box at the top of the resources section. The three view options are category, author-title, and title-author. Both category and title-author will only display set names and single books that are not part of a set.
2. Select (click on) author-title choice. The displayed list now has icons on the left edge. The book icon is a single book while the round button is a volume in a set. Again the last hyphen in the line generally separates the set name from the volume name. Note that all of the books (volumes) in a set may not be listed together since each volume could have a different author. A single volume could be list more than once if it has multiple authors.
The third method also uses the resources menu or Library Screen and will work in any of the view options.
1. right click on the name of a book you are interested in and choose Properties from the menu of choices. This will open up a window with a description of the book. The main title is at the top of the window.
2. If that book is part of a set the set name will be at the top of the window and all of the volumes of the set that you own will be listed below a short paragraph that tells you that this book is part of a set. You can click on any of the volumes to get a description of that volume. Use the << Return to book list to get back.
Note that there is no indication in any of the three methods that will tell you whether or not you own the full set. You can usually tell that from the description on the web site.
1. Tap the options menu and select settings. The first entry is Startup and Paths. Note the Library books section to find out where your books are stored.
2. Use the file explorer to navigate to the folder found in step 1. There will be a folder for each of your books or sets of books. There should also be a folder called Sets. Click on that one. What you will see is a list of every set in your entire library. For the next steps you may need administration privileges to save the file in the Sets folder.
3. Use Notepad or another text editor (Notepad++ for example) to make a file like the one below.
4. Save this file in the Sets folder under the name "McGarvey.set" (leave out the quotes). Now restart (or start) WordSearch and you will find this set listed in your Library, assuming at least one of the three books have been downloaded.
This will work as a single commentary like any other set in your library. Wordsearch basic users with only free ebooks will now have a set to explore. See WordSearch Bible Metadata for an explanation of the Book-ID and Category.
Recently I bought a bundle that included two commentaries, one called New Testament and one called Old Testament. I thought the names were a bit too general and didn't tell me much about the type of commentary. A look at the books themselves revealed that they had a better name. I created the following entry using a simple text editor and then saved it in the sets folder under the name NCWB.set and it worked like a charm. Now I have one book covering the whole Bible.
Sets are a wonderful feature but there are some limitations. For example the mobile apps do not currently support sets. Therefore a set cannot be used as the default bible or default commentary. The iOS mobile app can use an arbitrary volume for the default Bible and when you are viewing the reference you can view other versions as well so there is a good work around.
Sets are a wonderful way to manage an encyclopedia with many volumes but there can be a limitation in that they have a set name that is too high level to permit finding some things you might be interested in. Let's suppose you have an interest in starting a new study on the book of Romans. One of the first things you are likely to want to do is to find out how many volumes you own that will provide resources for your study. Wordsearch does provide a few tools to help with this effort.
One tool you might try would be the Topics tool (Not present in WordSearch Basic). If you type in Romans you do get some answers but there is no way to determine if this is exhaustive and besides it will list a bunch of references you are not interested in such as Roman soldiers.
1. Look in the Menu: Options and select settings to determine where your books are stored. Then exit WordSearch or WordSearch basic.
2. Use the file browser to traverse to the folder found is step one and scroll to the "Sets" entry.
3. Right click on sets and rename the entry to something else, like sets.save or aaaa. The name doesn't matter so long as its not sets and you can remember it for later.
5. Type in the word Romans in the Filter box and see what happens. Mine found 28 entries many of which have the same or similar name. I saw a lot of volumes named Romans. I am now confident that I have located all my resources on Romans, at least all that are devoted specifically to this book.
6. I would suggest that you now clear all open books if you have any open and then open all of the entries you found in your resources. Once they are all opened it will be easily to create a desktop or a collection for all your resources which you can then save for use later. How to create a desktop or collection is outside the scope of this discussion but could be in another tip. You could also just write down all of the book names for later use.
7. Now it is time to restore your sets so exit WordSearch, return to the file explorer window, and rename the Sets folder back to Sets.
8. Restart WordSearch and everything should be back to normal. Some automatic re-indexing is normal. Refresh the Library if you need to.
Perhaps some future version of WordSearch will make this easier, but for now it should have been an educational learning experience to see how Sets work.
Every possible set is automatically included in the Sets folder, even for books that you do not own. Thus when you buy a volume it will generally not download the set but will depend on the existing set file already installed.
The collections for a set are usually stored in a single folder in the library folder. The volumes in the set typically installed as separate folders within the one set folder. It is possible to rearrange your folder structure for sets you create to match this arrangement to keep the collection together if desired but it is not required.
When the application starts on a new day or when the library is manually refreshed the location of all the files will be found and a cache is built for the session to find them. Downloading new books will also kick off the refresh.
The TOC, table of contents, button reveals the contents of each book you own in the set. This is how you can easily get to the volume you want and perhaps to a specific section. For books with direct references to Bible books you will find a Bible reference menu item populated with only the books you own. This is also allows the program to sync the book, chapter, and verse for volumes you own in a set. One thing I have noticed about the sets you build yourself is that you may not be able to collapse the volume completely to only view the volume title but on sets that WordSearch you can usually do this. I have not yet figured out how to make the full volume collapse but that is usually not that important.
WordSearch Bible version 11 has the ability to display book covers in the Library View. The Sets feature supports book covers. This is done by having an image file (Usually a JPG) in the Sets folder with the same name as the set name. The file is generally a 100 x 150 pixel image.
In the absence of a cover image in the sets folder the software will follow the link to the first book in the set and if this has a cover image it will display that. If there is no cover image at all the software will display a generic image reserved for this purpose.

What do Courtney Love, Orlando Bloom, Orlando Cepeda, Tina Turner and Herbie Hancock share? Powerful
What do Courtney Love, Orlando Bloom, baseball legend Orlando Cepeda, Tina Turner and jazz legend and Grammy winner Herbie Hancock share? They all practice Buddhism and chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, a powerful mystical phrase. First introduced by the Japanese monk, Nichiren in 1228, one of the most renowned figures in Japanese history, the religion was handed down from generation to generation of priests and a handful of followers.
It gained worldwide followers after the lay organization, the Soka Gakkai, initiated an unprecedented propagation campaign out of the devastation and ashes of post-nuclear World War 2 Japan. It now boasts an international membership of over fifty million in 170 countries. The lay organization's current leader, Daisaku Ikeda, a controversial figure in Japan owing to his outspoken criticism of corruption in their political system has traveled around the world and garnered the respect of many leading world figures, from Gorbachev to Nelson Mandela, for his tireless efforts promoting world peace.

Essentially that is what the philosophy is all about. Through the invocation of the chant to a mandala in the practitioner's home altar, one undergoes self-awareness, and elevates the basic condition of his life, enabling the practitioner to achieve a personal "human revolution." The theory is that when each person has done sufficient human revolution, they will conduct themselves in a loftier, more compassion-oriented manner. If enough people do that, the ripple effect will be world peace.

An important tenet of the philosophy is Actual Proof, and members love to testify about the power of the chant. Tina Turner's movie "What's Love Got to Do With It?" portrayed how she gained the strength to leave abuse at the hands of her then-husband Ike Turner through chanting.
Courtney Love says in recent articles she attributes her over a year sobriety to her practice of the chant. Herbie Hancock chanted three hours a day to beat the odds and take the Best Album of the Year Grammy in an upset that many thought would go to Amy Winehouse or Kanye West. A very unusual victory for a jazz artist.

Orlando Cepeda, the legendary baseball figure credits overcoming depression and addiction to his chanting. Orlando Bloom has been chanting since he was a child; his mother started chanting first. He has enjoyed a charmed career for many years.

It has been rumored that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are also chanting since Jolie became friends with Marianne Pearl, the devout Buddhist wife of murdered Wall Street journalist Daniel Pearl. Jolie portrayed the grace, and dignity Pearl manifested at that time in the movie "A Mighty Heart," which portrayed the horrific event. Brad Pitt produced it.

Five Top Notch (and Not Boring) Sydney Date Ideas for This Week
Just think of us as your cultural wingman.
By Concrete Playground
Tired of the classic movie and dinner date night combo? Us too. That's why we're always on the hunt for new things to do, scouring the city for more inventive Sydney activities — ones that are guaranteed to extend your dating repertoire beyond beers at the pub.
Whether you're taking someone on a second date or doing the 100th with your significant other, we've got some stellar Sydney date ideas for this week, no matter how much money you've got to spend. Just think of us as your cultural wingman. You're welcome.
WANDER THROUGH A FOREST OF COLOURFUL CHARACTERS
One of the highlights of the launch program of the Sydney Opera House's new Centre for Creativity is multi-disciplinary artist Rosie Deacon's interactive exhibition House Warming. The activation features a forest of her joyous and colourful recycled sculptures and artworks. Attendees are also encouraged to contribute to the forest as part of its two-week run. The free exhibition is running until Sunday, January 16 with 10am–3pm daytime hours, plus some after-dark sessions running on on Friday, January 14 and Saturday, January 15 that are perfect for a date night.
While you're at the centre, other exhibitions and workshops on offer during the opening program include a workshop from western Sydney hip-hop crew CanYouAfro?; a workshop lead by Barkindtji, Yorta Yorta and Dhudaroah artist Tegan Mursock that teaches participants the fundamentals of Aboriginal weaving and making wall hangings; and a vogueing class lead by Sydney's Street University.

SEE A THRILLING PERFORMANCE ON A MELTING BLOCK OF ICE ABOVE THE HARBOUR
A nearly three-tonne block of ice will be suspended above Sydney Harbour, slowly melting over the course of the day, as part of Sydney Festival's free arts program. On this huge block of water? A series of performance artists utilising it as a temporary stage before it disappears. Thaw will take place above the harbour over three days between Friday, January 14–Sunday, January 16.
Each day at 10am, a new block of ice will be suspended and the performers will ascend into the sky accompanied by a score from Alaskan composer Matthew Burtner. Come 8.30pm each night, the performance comes to an end when the last piece of ice returns to water. Whether you drop in at the end to watch the conclusion or rock up early to watch a solid chuck of that day's performance, you can find a bunch of other free and affordable activities located around Circular Quay and its surrounds to add to your date night — including a pop-up seltzer bar, a huge plant exhibition, an outdoor art walk and the aforementioned forest of colourful characters.
CATCH A BLOCKBUSTER OR CLASSIC MUSICAL AT HUNTERS HILL'S OPENAIR CINEMA
Add this to the list of top-notch summer traditions: watching movies under the stars, and being spoiled for choice when it comes to picking a viewing spot. When the weather is warm, Sydney definitely isn't short on openair cinemas — but a trip to Hunters Hill Open Air Cinema includes checking out new releases and classic flicks with water views as a backdrop. Running every night throughout January at Bedlam Bay, Hunters Hill's setup also includes wine, beer, tapped cocktails and food truck eats — so you can say cheers to your movie of choice, and also add pizza, hot dogs and waffles to your film-viewing snacks.
Tickets will only set you back $9 per person and as for what you'll be seeing, this week's lineup spans the Timothée Chalamet-starring Dune and The French Dispatch, horror flick Last Night in Soho, and animated delight Encanto.
TAKE IN THIS IMMERSIVE 360-DEGREE CINEMA EXPERIENCE
It isn't called the big screen for nothing — and, when you head to the pictures, that's typically what you spend a couple of hours peering at. But you won't just be staring at a giant rectangle at Wonderdome, Sydney's new pop-up cinema experience. In a blend of film, music and art that takes its cues from planetariums, you'll be sat in a dome watching movies that've been specifically designed to take up the whole 360-degree space that's towering above you. Wonderdome is on at the Entertainment Quarter for the rest of January, offering up Australia's largest-ever 360-degree projection cinema.
To watch, you'll recline on throne-style beanbags and stare up at the movie. Given that the projection sprawls all around you, it's been likened to virtual reality — but without the goggles. The 22-film lineup includes the dazzling Coral Rekindling Venus, which sees Emmy Award-wining Australian filmmaker Lynette Wallworth focus on fluorescent coral reefs, bioluminescent sea creatures and rare marine life; National Geographic's David Attenborough-narrated Flying Monsters, about flying dinosaurs; the climate-focused Dynamic Earth, which benefits from Liam Neeson's vocal work; and Carriberrie, which focuses on Indigenous Australian dance and song.
GO ALL OUT
BOOK A PET-FRIENDLY BYO BOAT AND FLOAT UP THE PARRAMATTA RIVER
Thanks to GoBoat, you and your other half can now float up Parramatta river with drinks in hand and your best four-legged friend by your side. The Danish company launched in Sydney last month and is now offering adventures along the water from from Cabarita Point. Aimed at making the whole boating caper more accessible for everyday folk, the Scandinavian-designed vessels are slow-moving, a breeze to operate and don't require a boating licence, making for some fun, fuss-free sailing sessions.
Available to hire for up to five hours at a time, GoBoat's Sydney fleet can sail as far as Cockatoo Island — and before you hit the water, you'll receive a safety briefing and demonstration. All boats are speed-limited, too, and obviously decked out with safety equipment including life jackets. Your day on the water starts at $129 for an hour and goes up to $279 for a three-hour hire of the boat.
